Jason Robinson – Class 2: The Grasshoppers and the Three Giants

1
00:00:02,800 –> 00:00:05,200
Brothers and sisters.
We are ready to begin our second

2
00:00:05,200 –> 00:00:07,600
class.
Our speaker is brother.

3
00:00:07,600 –> 00:00:11,200
Jason Robinson, the theme for
brother, Robinson’s classes.

4
00:00:11,200 –> 00:00:14,100
This week is the tales of the
Giants.

5
00:00:14,800 –> 00:00:18,800
Today’s class is entitled The
Grasshoppers and the three

6
00:00:18,800 –> 00:00:33,100
Giants.
Thank again for the Michael and

7
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:35,800
good morning, my dear brothers
and sisters in the Lord.

8
00:00:35,800 –> 00:00:39,000
Jesus Christ.
If you guys get your Flyers,

9
00:00:39,000 –> 00:00:41,200
your brochures, your pamphlets,
whatever you want to call them

10
00:00:41,200 –> 00:00:43,900
out.
We’re going to do a quick recap

11
00:00:44,200 –> 00:00:48,700
of what we went over yesterday.
and yesterday was all about

12
00:00:48,700 –> 00:00:54,100
getting to know our Giant today,
we’re going to be kind of moving

13
00:00:54,100 –> 00:00:56,400
on with removing any doubt you
can beat your giant, but

14
00:00:56,400 –> 00:01:01,400
hopefully, We are all little
more familiar maybe with who are

15
00:01:01,400 –> 00:01:04,599
giant is a little bit more about
them.

16
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:07,800
Yesterday was all about becoming
a little more acquainted with

17
00:01:07,800 –> 00:01:13,000
them, we hopefully and we
hopefully honestly determined

18
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:15,600
what our biggest and our
scariest giant is we really

19
00:01:15,600 –> 00:01:19,500
prepared ourselves for battle.
We’re not ready to go to battle

20
00:01:19,500 –> 00:01:22,900
yet, but maybe in our minds were
a little bit more prepared up

21
00:01:22,900 –> 00:01:24,400
against what we will be
fighting.

22
00:01:24,800 –> 00:01:30,000
We determined if they lived in
tents or Was yesterday, of

23
00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:33,600
course, tents being those,
temporary Dwelling Places.

24
00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:39,600
They’re quite easy in theory to
cleanse, but they often come

25
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:44,400
with the drawbacks of being
hidden or disguised.

26
00:01:45,300 –> 00:01:48,900
Possibly even hard to find
giants.

27
00:01:48,900 –> 00:01:54,400
Like, these can live on apps,
they can live on TVs.

28
00:01:55,800 –> 00:01:58,700
Maybe even on websites.
Those kind of giants live in

29
00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:01,600
tents.
They’re easy to get rid of

30
00:02:01,600 –> 00:02:06,600
physically, but you have to be
able to do it mentally and then

31
00:02:06,600 –> 00:02:09,699
there’s the stronghold Giants,
their fortified a little bit

32
00:02:09,699 –> 00:02:13,200
more unmovable when it comes to
actually cleansing your life of

33
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:15,800
them, their drawbacks aren’t
that they’re hidden.

34
00:02:15,900 –> 00:02:18,300
In fact, strongholds are quite
the opposite.

35
00:02:18,300 –> 00:02:23,400
Aren’t they strongholds can be
very visible and very easy to

36
00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:29,800
see Giants in strongholds can
often be conflicts with our

37
00:02:29,800 –> 00:02:30,900
brothers and sisters.
Sisters.

38
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:33,500
Maybe they are issues affecting
your work.

39
00:02:34,300 –> 00:02:36,500
Maybe their issues affecting
income.

40
00:02:37,300 –> 00:02:41,400
Possibly even addictions their
giants that are often visible to

41
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:45,700
at least a few, but it can be
very challenging to get rid of

42
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:50,900
But we know from scripture that
it’s very possible to get rid of

43
00:02:50,900 –> 00:02:54,100
either one.
Well, then we named our Giants

44
00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:56,100
and what was a fairly silly
ordeal.

45
00:02:56,100 –> 00:02:58,900
And I want to thank all those
who shared some of their giant

46
00:02:58,900 –> 00:03:01,800
names with me yesterday.
They were certainly some very

47
00:03:01,800 –> 00:03:05,600
clever ones and then we assign
some homework in me.

48
00:03:06,600 –> 00:03:10,700
And as students, can you please
show of hands?

49
00:03:10,700 –> 00:03:13,500
How many of you guys did the
homework yesterday?

50
00:03:14,500 –> 00:03:19,400
Hey, better than the teens much
better than the teens good. 25%

51
00:03:19,400 –> 00:03:23,000
of your grade depends on over by
like, so, With these four

52
00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:25,400
questions on page.
Number one, kind of under our

53
00:03:25,408 –> 00:03:27,500
belt.
We’re now the clear picture

54
00:03:27,500 –> 00:03:30,000
maybe of the battle that we have
when we get home.

55
00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:33,000
And a good direction.
Of course, to move forward

56
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:35,500
throughout our next five
sessions that we have together.

57
00:03:35,700 –> 00:03:37,600
Well, today and tomorrow, we’re
going to be moving on to this

58
00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:40,300
middle page that Nephilim and
the ref a game.

59
00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:44,500
We have two days to fill out
these three questions and I

60
00:03:44,508 –> 00:03:47,000
would like us to save this first
one.

61
00:03:47,200 –> 00:03:49,900
Do you fully believe you can
beat your giant?

62
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:52,600
Yes, or no.
To the end of tomorrow’s class.

63
00:03:54,700 –> 00:03:58,100
But I want to ask you guys a
simple few questions.

64
00:03:58,100 –> 00:04:00,300
Before we dive into today’s
topic.

65
00:04:01,700 –> 00:04:06,600
We’ve gotten to know our Giant.
Today’s goal is to remove any

66
00:04:06,600 –> 00:04:08,600
doubt that you can beat your
giant.

67
00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:14,300
But you need to answer very
honestly in your own mind.

68
00:04:14,300 –> 00:04:16,200
You don’t need to write this
down, obviously.

69
00:04:17,600 –> 00:04:23,400
Do you want to beat your giant?
Do you actually want it gone?

70
00:04:25,300 –> 00:04:27,600
If yes, you guys are ready for
class.

71
00:04:27,600 –> 00:04:33,400
Number two, if no.
You gotta convince yourself that

72
00:04:34,300 –> 00:04:37,000
you need, it gone, because
there’s no way to enter into the

73
00:04:37,000 –> 00:04:40,200
promised land, carrying these
Giants along with you.

74
00:04:40,300 –> 00:04:44,900
Second question, maybe you’re
comfortable with where you and

75
00:04:44,900 –> 00:04:47,300
your giant are at in your
relationship.

76
00:04:49,200 –> 00:04:51,200
You know, just because things
are.

77
00:04:51,200 –> 00:04:54,600
Okay.
Now doesn’t mean that we just

78
00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:59,400
can’t not fight the Giants.
Remember Israel was taken care

79
00:04:59,400 –> 00:05:01,800
of wonderfully in the
wilderness.

80
00:05:03,500 –> 00:05:08,300
From the father even though they
refuse to fight Giants, make

81
00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,200
sure you’re not comfortable with
the relationship, you and your

82
00:05:11,200 –> 00:05:16,300
giant have.
And the last question is Do you

83
00:05:16,300 –> 00:05:20,500
actually truly 100%?
Believe you can beat your giant.

84
00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:24,400
If yes, you can skip class 2 and
3.

85
00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:31,500
If you’re like, I’m 98% sure I
can maybe you should come to

86
00:05:31,500 –> 00:05:34,900
class has two and three because
we’re going to see through

87
00:05:34,900 –> 00:05:40,100
scripture that fighting giants
is pretty simple.

88
00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:44,300
Now, I’m going to ask you guys a
favor of through this class.

89
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:50,300
And that’s to remove your eyes.
Because when you remove your

90
00:05:50,300 –> 00:05:53,000
eyes, what we’re going to find
out is that it’s actually a lot

91
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:57,800
easier to remove the Giants.
You know, they’re there but you

92
00:05:57,808 –> 00:05:59,800
don’t, you’re not scared of
them.

93
00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:04,600
You don’t see how big and ugly,
they actually are.

94
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:08,000
You see everyone who was
supposed to fight Giants in

95
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:11,200
scripture was scared because of
what they saw.

96
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:14,800
So didn’t want to fight giant
because it was big and scary

97
00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:16,300
children.
Israel didn’t want to fight the

98
00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:18,100
Giants because they were big and
scary.

99
00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:22,400
David was happy to do so because
he didn’t see it with these

100
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:25,000
eyes.
Caleb was happy to do it because

101
00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:27,500
he didn’t see it with those
kinds of eyes.

102
00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:30,500
Now to begin, I’d like us to
turn to First Corinthians

103
00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:33,500
chapter 10.
Some of my favorite verses when

104
00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:37,100
it comes to this, entire study
was written by Paul to the

105
00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:42,800
Ecclesia at Corinth. 1st
Corinthians chapter 10 and if

106
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:45,600
you’re taking notes, it’s worth
putting this kind of up on your

107
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:48,000
list of cool verses in the
study.

108
00:06:50,100 –> 00:06:52,000
I’m going to read a few verses
out of this chapter.

109
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:55,800
So just try to stay awake
through a few of these verses

110
00:06:56,600 –> 00:07:02,300
verses 1 through 10.
Moreover Brethren I would not

111
00:07:02,300 –> 00:07:08,400
that you should be ignorant how
that all our fathers were under

112
00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:12,000
the cloud and all passed through
the sea.

113
00:07:12,200 –> 00:07:13,600
You see the stories we talking
about?

114
00:07:13,700 –> 00:07:17,000
We’re talking about this time
period in the exes and we’re all

115
00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:20,300
baptized into Moses in the cloud
and in the sea and they did all

116
00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:23,700
eat the same spiritual meat and
they did all drink the same

117
00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:26,700
spiritual drink for, they drank
of that, spiritual rock, that

118
00:07:26,700 –> 00:07:28,700
followed them and that rock is
Christ.

119
00:07:28,800 –> 00:07:37,600
But with many of Them God was
not well pleased for, they were

120
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:40,000
overthrown in the wilderness
looking for 6.

121
00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:48,200
Now, these things he says Were
our examples.

122
00:07:49,900 –> 00:07:53,000
To the intent.
We should not lust after evil

123
00:07:53,000 –> 00:07:55,500
things.
As they lusted brothers and

124
00:07:55,500 –> 00:07:58,300
sisters.
How many of us wrote lust as are

125
00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:01,600
giants?
You’re not alone there was an

126
00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:07,800
entire nation who lusted?
Verse 7, neither be ye idolaters

127
00:08:07,800 –> 00:08:10,600
as were some of them as it is
written.

128
00:08:10,600 –> 00:08:12,800
The people sat down to eat and
drink and Rose up to play.

129
00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:15,900
How many of us have a giant?
That’s idolatry.

130
00:08:16,800 –> 00:08:19,000
You’re not alone.
There was an entire nation

131
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:23,200
that’s suffered with idolatry.
Neither let us tempt Christ as

132
00:08:23,200 –> 00:08:25,500
some of them also were tempted
and were destroyed of serpents

133
00:08:25,700 –> 00:08:28,000
neither murmur ye as some of
them also murmured and were

134
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:30,900
destroyed of the Destroyer.
Now all these things happened

135
00:08:30,900 –> 00:08:40,600
unto them Four.
And samples. or types and he

136
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:47,600
says, they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends

137
00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:52,200
of the world are come And then
he says wherefore let him that

138
00:08:52,200 –> 00:08:56,400
thinketh.
He standeth take heed lest he

139
00:08:56,400 –> 00:09:00,400
fall.
So Paul tells these Ecclesia and

140
00:09:00,400 –> 00:09:04,400
corn, that all of those stories
that you read about in Exodus

141
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:07,000
and a numbers were written for
you.

142
00:09:08,300 –> 00:09:11,700
They were written as types for
you.

143
00:09:13,300 –> 00:09:15,500
Then possibly the key.
Verse of all the Giants said

144
00:09:15,500 –> 00:09:19,000
he’s ever of all time is verse
13.

145
00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:26,100
There is no temptation.
There is no giant taken you, but

146
00:09:26,100 –> 00:09:31,000
such as is common to man. but
God is faithful, who will not

147
00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:35,300
suffer you to be tempted above
that which ye are able, but will

148
00:09:36,000 –> 00:09:41,900
with the Giant Also, make a way
to escape that, ye may be able

149
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:49,800
to bear it. and so, what he says
is that People Giants are

150
00:09:49,800 –> 00:09:53,200
common.
You see, whatever giant you

151
00:09:53,200 –> 00:09:56,600
wrote in the first block here
you’re not the only one in the

152
00:09:56,600 –> 00:09:59,900
room to write that.
There are dozens more who wrote

153
00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:04,100
the same exact giant as you did.
They are common to man.

154
00:10:04,200 –> 00:10:06,000
And you know what else is
common?

155
00:10:07,600 –> 00:10:13,600
Your ability to defeat it.
Everyone can beat Temptations

156
00:10:14,500 –> 00:10:17,300
because God will never put a
giant in your way.

157
00:10:17,300 –> 00:10:21,500
That’s too big or too scary or
too ugly.

158
00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:26,400
But you can’t defeat it.
So, with that introduction,

159
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:29,500
let’s go back to the chapter.
We’ve spent yesterday at and

160
00:10:29,500 –> 00:10:32,100
Numbers Chapter 13 and let’s
review.

161
00:10:32,100 –> 00:10:36,600
Just a couple verses before we
dive into the three Giants in

162
00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:41,200
the grasshoppers, So number 13,
it says in verse 32, again,

163
00:10:41,600 –> 00:10:45,500
reading this as a review from
yesterday and they brought up an

164
00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:48,900
evil report of the land.
This is the Ten spies which they

165
00:10:48,900 –> 00:10:51,900
had searched unto the children
of Israel saying the land

166
00:10:52,300 –> 00:10:54,400
through which we have gone to
search it.

167
00:10:55,700 –> 00:11:00,000
It’s land.
That Edith up the inhabitants

168
00:11:00,000 –> 00:11:04,800
thereof and all the people that
we saw in, it are men of great

169
00:11:04,800 –> 00:11:08,700
stature and there we saw the
Giants.

170
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:19,100
It says the sons of a knack,
which come of the Giants and we

171
00:11:19,100 –> 00:11:22,400
were in our own sight as
Grasshoppers.

172
00:11:22,900 –> 00:11:27,100
And so we were in their sight
and it’s these children of a

173
00:11:27,100 –> 00:11:30,600
neck that we have to be wary of
in our own lives brothers and

174
00:11:30,600 –> 00:11:34,700
sisters.
Because if these three children

175
00:11:34,700 –> 00:11:40,100
of a neck were what scared an
entire nation, Then certainly

176
00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:43,800
Giants can have a habit of
scaring anyone.

177
00:11:44,900 –> 00:11:48,900
Look at verse 22.
This is a theme throughout this

178
00:11:48,900 –> 00:11:51,500
chapter and if you’re making
notes or highlighting it’s worth

179
00:11:51,500 –> 00:11:54,200
just kind of mentioning and
calling out in your page.

180
00:11:54,200 –> 00:11:57,500
The children of a knack verse 22
and they ascended by the south

181
00:11:57,500 –> 00:12:01,700
and came to Hebron where I’m in
Cheyenne, tell my the children

182
00:12:01,700 –> 00:12:05,700
of a knack word, verse 28,
nevertheless.

183
00:12:05,700 –> 00:12:07,900
The people be strong that do on
the land of, the cities are

184
00:12:07,900 –> 00:12:09,300
Walden, very great and more.
Over.

185
00:12:09,300 –> 00:12:11,600
We saw the children of adak
there.

186
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:15,600
And finally, verse 33.
And there we saw the Giants, the

187
00:12:15,600 –> 00:12:20,200
sons of a knack.
Can you tell what they were

188
00:12:20,200 –> 00:12:22,500
scared of?
Can you tell what kept them out

189
00:12:22,500 –> 00:12:25,700
of the land?
It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

190
00:12:25,900 –> 00:12:30,200
It’s big people.
And those are the same kind of

191
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:32,300
things that can keep us out of
the Kingdom that has been

192
00:12:32,300 –> 00:12:37,500
promised to those who wait. if
we’re scared of confronting our

193
00:12:37,500 –> 00:12:41,100
Giants, then we’ll just like the
children of Israel.

194
00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:45,000
It was these Giants that really
kept them out of the land, it

195
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:50,600
was the fear of them and the
site of them and it wasn’t as if

196
00:12:50,600 –> 00:12:53,100
they went to battle brothers and
sisters and they were beaten by

197
00:12:53,100 –> 00:12:55,500
the Giants.
Right.

198
00:12:55,700 –> 00:12:59,400
It’s not as if they drew their
swords and charged in Bravely

199
00:12:59,500 –> 00:13:04,200
and the Giants beat them back.
They said now we’re comfortable

200
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:07,900
with where the Giants are at.
We don’t need to fight them, you

201
00:13:07,900 –> 00:13:10,300
know, Giants do this.
They terrify they can hold you

202
00:13:10,300 –> 00:13:15,000
captive without even Waging War
think about Goliath he stood up

203
00:13:15,000 –> 00:13:19,600
80 times in front of the people
40 days twice a day and

204
00:13:19,600 –> 00:13:23,800
petrified the nation.
They didn’t want to deal with

205
00:13:23,800 –> 00:13:26,700
it.
Giants scary.

206
00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:30,600
There were rumors swirling
around the tents in the camps

207
00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:33,500
weren’t there.
If you beat Goliath, you’ll be a

208
00:13:33,500 –> 00:13:39,300
prince you’d Saul’s daughter.
And riches Beyond comparison and

209
00:13:39,300 –> 00:13:45,600
your family tax free forever.
But no one could be convinced to

210
00:13:45,600 –> 00:13:48,800
fight the Giants.
And so in verse 22 were given

211
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:54,700
their names I’m in she shy and
tell my their names mean,

212
00:13:54,700 –> 00:13:59,900
brother of a gift clothed in
white and to accumulate.

213
00:14:00,800 –> 00:14:05,500
And I can’t quite piece together
a story and some beautiful poem

214
00:14:05,500 –> 00:14:07,400
as to why the names mean what
they mean.

215
00:14:08,300 –> 00:14:12,800
But they do seem to bring about
this idea of wealth or bribery.

216
00:14:13,600 –> 00:14:16,100
Now we’re told three times.
This chapter that they were

217
00:14:16,100 –> 00:14:20,400
descended from a man named a Mac
and a knack.

218
00:14:20,700 –> 00:14:24,700
Long-necked.
Quite possibly having to do with

219
00:14:24,700 –> 00:14:27,800
the fact that he was tall.
Maybe even had a long neck.

220
00:14:28,300 –> 00:14:32,900
But these three boys were the
sons of a knack now in Joshua

221
00:14:32,900 –> 00:14:34,600
15, you don’t need to turn up.
I’ll read it for you.

222
00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:38,100
But in Joshua 15 were given
another puzzle piece as to this

223
00:14:38,100 –> 00:14:41,100
genealogy.
Joshua 15 verse 13 says, and

224
00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:42,400
unto Caleb, the son of
jephunneh.

225
00:14:42,400 –> 00:14:45,100
He gave a part among the
children of Judah according to

226
00:14:45,100 –> 00:14:51,600
the Commandments of Yahweh to
Joshua even The city of Arbor,

227
00:14:51,800 –> 00:14:56,200
the father of a knack, which
city is Hebron.

228
00:14:56,200 –> 00:15:01,100
And so they were this.
The a neck was the son of a man

229
00:15:01,100 –> 00:15:05,900
named arba now, arba means
Foursquare or perfect stature

230
00:15:05,900 –> 00:15:11,300
and it says in verse 14 Joshua
15, the next verse and Caleb

231
00:15:11,300 –> 00:15:13,300
drove them to the three sons of
a neck.

232
00:15:13,300 –> 00:15:16,500
She Shia High man until my the
children of a knack.

233
00:15:16,500 –> 00:15:20,500
And so we are talking about the
same same family here and so

234
00:15:20,500 –> 00:15:23,600
were given this nice little
genealogy of the family of

235
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:26,500
Giants are, by gave birth to a
knack.

236
00:15:26,900 –> 00:15:29,500
And a not gave birth to three
other Giants.

237
00:15:30,800 –> 00:15:32,400
And they were all very tall
people.

238
00:15:34,300 –> 00:15:37,600
Here is the interesting theme.
If you’ve already written and

239
00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:41,100
marked down the three sons of a
knack, get a pencil, maybe a

240
00:15:41,108 –> 00:15:45,400
different color that we can call
out, one more fascinating.

241
00:15:46,100 –> 00:15:52,600
And yet scarily applicable word,
verse 28, nevertheless the

242
00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:54,400
people be strong.
That dwell in the land and the

243
00:15:54,400 –> 00:15:59,100
cities are Walden.
Very great and moreover, We saw

244
00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:07,200
the children of a neck verse 32.
And all the people that we saw

245
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:12,700
in, it are men of great stature
and verse 33 and we were in our

246
00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:18,900
own sight as grasshoppers.
But we saw the Giants, the sons

247
00:16:18,900 –> 00:16:21,100
of a neck.
And so, what the children of

248
00:16:21,100 –> 00:16:26,400
Israel at least these ten spies
were relying on was these?

249
00:16:28,700 –> 00:16:33,200
Their two eyes.
And then they say an incredibly

250
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:37,300
revealing statement, don’t they?
The ESV words.

251
00:16:37,300 –> 00:16:43,200
It we seemed to ourselves like
grasshoppers verse 33.

252
00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:48,100
We seemed to ourselves like
grasshoppers.

253
00:16:48,500 –> 00:16:50,100
They based everything off of
what they saw.

254
00:16:50,100 –> 00:16:52,100
This was a very typical
Israelite move.

255
00:16:53,400 –> 00:16:56,500
And if they seem like
grasshoppers to themselves, then

256
00:16:56,500 –> 00:17:01,400
that’s exactly what they were.
The battle was already lost.

257
00:17:02,900 –> 00:17:05,900
And we can’t go into the battle
with our giant thinking, you

258
00:17:05,908 –> 00:17:07,300
know, maybe I’m gonna lose this
one.

259
00:17:09,400 –> 00:17:13,400
Thinking that maybe it’s not
this battle that I’ll get them.

260
00:17:13,800 –> 00:17:17,500
I’ll probably lose the next
three or four but the fifth one

261
00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:21,400
I’ll get him.
You know, fighting battles with

262
00:17:21,400 –> 00:17:24,500
our Giants, isn’t like a diet.
You got to get it right?

263
00:17:24,500 –> 00:17:28,900
The first time, you got to beat
that giant if we think of

264
00:17:28,900 –> 00:17:31,600
ourselves like grasshoppers
against the Giants in our lives.

265
00:17:31,700 –> 00:17:34,600
Then guess what?
That’s exactly what you’re going

266
00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:38,200
to be.
There’s a verse that I think is

267
00:17:38,200 –> 00:17:43,300
pretty applicable.
It’s in Proverbs chapter 3 it

268
00:17:43,300 –> 00:17:46,500
says trust in the Lord with all
thine heart.

269
00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:51,800
Trust in yourself.
No lean not to your own

270
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:55,700
understanding.
In all of your ways acknowledge

271
00:17:55,700 –> 00:17:57,000
Him and He will direct your
paths.

272
00:17:57,500 –> 00:18:03,300
Be not wise, in thine own eyes.
Proverbs says, fear the lord,

273
00:18:03,300 –> 00:18:06,200
and depart from Evil.
And this is, the exact message

274
00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:10,000
is relayed to us in.
Proverbs what does it mean be

275
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:14,400
wise in thine own eyes?
Well, this can go a few ways you

276
00:18:14,400 –> 00:18:16,900
can approach your giant and you
can say, one of three things,

277
00:18:18,200 –> 00:18:20,200
That are wrong.
You could say the right thing

278
00:18:20,300 –> 00:18:23,100
which is got to help me.
We can go being wise in their

279
00:18:23,100 –> 00:18:27,900
own eyes and say I got this.
What’s wrong with that phrase?

280
00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:34,100
I got this, well, it’s relying
very much on your strength.

281
00:18:35,700 –> 00:18:37,400
You’re not going to be a giant
on your own strength.

282
00:18:38,500 –> 00:18:42,600
We can also go into a battle for
giant saying, you know, I got

283
00:18:42,600 –> 00:18:45,000
this.
It’s Giants tiny, it’s no big

284
00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:48,400
deal.
I can deal with it later or you

285
00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:50,100
can go and see about a giant
thinking.

286
00:18:50,500 –> 00:18:53,900
I don’t got this.
I’ll never be able to do this.

287
00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:57,500
This giant is too big and too
ugly.

288
00:18:58,700 –> 00:19:00,700
You see one version, We convince
ourselves that we can do it all

289
00:19:00,700 –> 00:19:04,400
on our own and the other two, we
really talk ourselves out of

290
00:19:04,408 –> 00:19:07,200
beating it.
So it’s very, very important

291
00:19:07,200 –> 00:19:11,300
that as we contemplate this
first question, do you fully

292
00:19:11,300 –> 00:19:18,100
believe you can beat your giant?
That a, it’s eventually going to

293
00:19:18,108 –> 00:19:21,800
be yes.
But be that it’s an honest.

294
00:19:21,900 –> 00:19:26,100
Yes, because sometimes brothers
and sisters life can be going,

295
00:19:26,100 –> 00:19:28,800
just fine.
We could be living with a few

296
00:19:28,800 –> 00:19:33,800
Giants, and we could think
they’re not bothering me.

297
00:19:34,800 –> 00:19:37,000
It’s no big deal.
I don’t really need to fight

298
00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:41,800
them just yet.
But Hebrews gives us something

299
00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:45,700
else to look, too.
Wherefore seeing we are also

300
00:19:45,700 –> 00:19:49,300
compass’d about with so great.
A cloud of witnesses, lay aside

301
00:19:49,300 –> 00:19:55,200
every weight lay aside, the sin,
which doth so easily beset us,

302
00:19:55,400 –> 00:19:57,500
and let us run the race with
patience.

303
00:19:58,700 –> 00:20:03,200
And the race that is set before
us look unto Jesus.

304
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:07,000
So our eyes should be focused
upon one individual.

305
00:20:07,800 –> 00:20:12,000
See past the Giants, beat them
in your mind that basically is

306
00:20:12,000 –> 00:20:14,900
what he’s saying.
But he says look unto Jesus, the

307
00:20:14,900 –> 00:20:19,000
author or beginner as your
margin says or Captain as the

308
00:20:19,000 –> 00:20:23,500
word means.
Look into Jesus, your captain in

309
00:20:23,500 –> 00:20:27,100
this fight.
You know, there’s been one

310
00:20:27,100 –> 00:20:29,300
individual who’s actually beaten
every single Giant.

311
00:20:30,800 –> 00:20:33,500
He’s then make a pretty good
Captain when fighting giants.

312
00:20:34,900 –> 00:20:36,300
He beat every single one of
them.

313
00:20:36,300 –> 00:20:39,500
He’s the only person who ever
ever ever has look to him as

314
00:20:39,500 –> 00:20:41,000
your example, you know, what’s
even better.

315
00:20:42,300 –> 00:20:44,100
He’s actually beating on your
joints as well.

316
00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:48,200
He’s actually beaten every
single one that we’re going to

317
00:20:48,200 –> 00:20:51,200
have to deal with.
He just wants you to go to

318
00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:54,800
battle with them.
But if we’re happy with where

319
00:20:54,800 –> 00:20:57,500
they’re at and we’re probably
not interested in going to

320
00:20:57,508 –> 00:21:00,800
battle.
You see it was the Giants that

321
00:21:00,800 –> 00:21:04,200
kept them out of the promised
land was the walls.

322
00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:07,200
No.
Was it the weapons of the

323
00:21:07,200 –> 00:21:09,500
Giants?
No.

324
00:21:11,400 –> 00:21:14,400
It was the three sons of anak
were there.

325
00:21:16,500 –> 00:21:19,900
But it was more than that.
You see, that wasn’t two million

326
00:21:19,900 –> 00:21:23,800
people who marched into the
promised land and says Giants.

327
00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:27,800
I was 10.
It was 10 people.

328
00:21:29,300 –> 00:21:32,800
Who ruined an entire Generations
chance of getting into the

329
00:21:32,800 –> 00:21:35,900
promised land who spread the
doubt in the nation.

330
00:21:38,000 –> 00:21:40,800
Before them, Moses was as good
as in the promised land before

331
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:42,100
them.
Aaron was as good as in the

332
00:21:42,100 –> 00:21:44,600
promised land.
Before them Miriam was as good

333
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:48,600
as in the Promised Land.
But it was these 10, unrighteous

334
00:21:48,600 –> 00:21:52,600
that spread this terrible doubt,
and this fear, among the entire

335
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:53,800
nation that block them from the
land.

336
00:21:53,800 –> 00:21:57,000
You know, if you haven’t
already, you’re going to run

337
00:21:57,000 –> 00:21:59,800
into these brothers and sisters
in your work in the Ecclesia.

338
00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:04,600
The people who will openly doubt
most of the efforts of the

339
00:22:04,600 –> 00:22:07,600
Ecclesia.
The people who may take the easy

340
00:22:07,600 –> 00:22:10,900
path in the brother and sisters
who may show up to every single

341
00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:15,600
event, but have a few Giants
that they just don’t want to

342
00:22:15,600 –> 00:22:18,600
fight.
Don’t be afraid to just get

343
00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:20,600
involved in things in your
Ecclesia.

344
00:22:22,700 –> 00:22:26,100
It’s good, it’s healthy.
You’re never going to regret

345
00:22:26,100 –> 00:22:28,500
working on something in your
Ecclesia.

346
00:22:28,700 –> 00:22:34,400
But there are maybe the ten who
say, I doubt that’s going to

347
00:22:34,400 –> 00:22:38,300
work.
And so brothers and sisters.

348
00:22:38,300 –> 00:22:44,900
It was these 10 unrighteous
Unfaithful spies who saw the

349
00:22:44,900 –> 00:22:49,000
Giants with their eyes and it
was only Joshua and Caleb who

350
00:22:49,000 –> 00:22:51,500
looked with eyes of faith.
And so, you know, what ends up

351
00:22:51,500 –> 00:22:53,500
happening?
Well, we get to Numbers Chapter

352
00:22:53,500 –> 00:22:57,300
14, and the children of Israel
have wandered as we looked at

353
00:22:57,308 –> 00:22:59,300
yesterday.
And it says, in numbers 14, and

354
00:22:59,300 –> 00:23:02,100
all the congregation lift up
their voices and they cried in

355
00:23:02,100 –> 00:23:08,200
the people wept that night.
Those giant sounds scary and all

356
00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:10,300
the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and against Aaron,

357
00:23:10,300 –> 00:23:12,900
of course, because that’s, it
was all their fault and the

358
00:23:12,900 –> 00:23:14,400
whole congregation said unto
them.

359
00:23:14,400 –> 00:23:18,000
Would God, we had died in land
of Egypt, or would God, we had

360
00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:20,800
died in this Wilderness and
wherefore hath.

361
00:23:20,800 –> 00:23:23,300
Yahweh brought us into this land
to Fall by the sword that our

362
00:23:23,300 –> 00:23:25,000
wives and our children should be
a prey.

363
00:23:26,100 –> 00:23:30,700
We’re not better for us to
return unto Egypt and they said

364
00:23:30,700 –> 00:23:32,200
one to another, let us make a
Captain.

365
00:23:32,200 –> 00:23:35,600
Let Us return it to Egypt then.
Moses and Aaron fell on her face

366
00:23:36,100 –> 00:23:37,700
before.
All the Assembly of the

367
00:23:37,708 –> 00:23:38,900
congregation of the children of
Israel.

368
00:23:38,900 –> 00:23:42,100
So a brilliant plan, really
because Egypt was so nice to

369
00:23:42,108 –> 00:23:45,100
them before that they’re going
to send their children and their

370
00:23:45,100 –> 00:23:48,900
wives to become slaves.
This was their solution.

371
00:23:48,900 –> 00:23:51,200
Let’s go back to Egypt.
They say I don’t want to

372
00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:53,400
confront my Giants.
I’d rather live in sin.

373
00:23:55,100 –> 00:24:02,000
And in fact, they say let us
make a Captain to return us into

374
00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:05,800
Egypt.
And it’s very interesting

375
00:24:05,800 –> 00:24:09,200
because throughout scripture
were given extra little puzzle

376
00:24:09,200 –> 00:24:10,600
pieces.
That help us fill.

377
00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:12,300
In the rest of the story
Nehemiah.

378
00:24:12,300 –> 00:24:15,400
Nine is one of those chapters
I’m going to read for you.

379
00:24:15,400 –> 00:24:20,300
A verse in Nehemiah 9 verse 17.
It’s talking about this exact

380
00:24:20,300 –> 00:24:23,200
same situation.
It says, and they refuse to obey

381
00:24:23,300 –> 00:24:27,000
neither were mindful of that.
I Wonders that thou didst among

382
00:24:27,000 –> 00:24:31,400
them but they hardened their
necks and in their Rebellion,

383
00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:41,100
They appointed a captain to
return to their bondage Sonia.

384
00:24:41,100 –> 00:24:46,800
My 9 verse 17 says they actually
did They held an election and

385
00:24:46,808 –> 00:24:52,000
they chose a captain.
Brothers and sisters.

386
00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:56,300
Our brain does Salat.
Doesn’t it?

387
00:24:57,500 –> 00:24:59,700
You know what?
Not this time.

388
00:25:00,500 –> 00:25:02,300
I’ll beat my giant the next time
around.

389
00:25:03,500 –> 00:25:04,900
Let’s go back to Egypt right
now.

390
00:25:06,700 –> 00:25:13,600
I know I was a slave to Egypt,
but it’s not as scary as

391
00:25:13,600 –> 00:25:16,200
fighting giants, and so they
actually follow through.

392
00:25:16,200 –> 00:25:19,900
They did actually elect a
captain to return them to their

393
00:25:19,900 –> 00:25:24,300
bondage, but look at Caleb’s
speech, he gives a speech in

394
00:25:24,300 –> 00:25:26,100
verse 30 of the previous
chapter.

395
00:25:26,100 –> 00:25:29,600
And he gives another one in
verses 6 7, 8 & 9.

396
00:25:29,800 –> 00:25:31,800
But let’s look at verse 30.
Let’s see what Caleb says and

397
00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:35,200
Caleb, Still the people before
Moses and said let us go up in

398
00:25:35,200 –> 00:25:38,600
once.
And to possess it remind you of

399
00:25:38,600 –> 00:25:42,900
something.
What about Sunday’s introduction

400
00:25:43,000 –> 00:25:46,100
class with her brother?
Matt, that was Micah’s message.

401
00:25:46,800 –> 00:25:49,800
Let us go up.
That’s exactly what Caleb is

402
00:25:49,800 –> 00:25:53,900
saying.
We got this, they’re just

403
00:25:53,900 –> 00:25:58,100
Giants.
You see God didn’t want the

404
00:25:58,108 –> 00:26:00,400
people to march in and fight
Giants thinking they were like

405
00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:02,900
grasshoppers.
He wanted them to not even see

406
00:26:02,900 –> 00:26:05,400
them.
He wanted them to see them as

407
00:26:05,400 –> 00:26:10,700
good as Concord and so brothers
and sisters You want to beat

408
00:26:10,700 –> 00:26:17,300
your Giants?
It just takes belief, I’m sorry.

409
00:26:17,300 –> 00:26:21,700
There’s no magic pill magic
weapon that you can use.

410
00:26:23,300 –> 00:26:28,900
And I know it sounds cliche.
But you gotta believe it.

411
00:26:29,600 –> 00:26:32,100
Look at Hebrews chapter 3 and I
can read you these verses if

412
00:26:32,100 –> 00:26:33,500
you’d like.
But if you’d like to follow

413
00:26:33,500 –> 00:26:35,100
along, we’re gonna start a verse
17.

414
00:26:35,700 –> 00:26:39,400
Hebrews 3 verse 17, you can tell
we’re in the exact same

415
00:26:39,400 –> 00:26:43,300
scenario, but with whom was he
grieved 40 years?

416
00:26:44,700 –> 00:26:46,700
Was not with them.
That had sinned, whose carcasses

417
00:26:46,700 –> 00:26:50,000
fell in the wilderness and to
whom swear?

418
00:26:50,000 –> 00:26:53,000
He that they should not enter
into his rest, but to them that

419
00:26:53,000 –> 00:27:04,400
believed not So we see he says
so we see that they could not

420
00:27:04,400 –> 00:27:08,900
enter in because of one thing.
Unbelief.

421
00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:14,100
They could not enter in because
of unbelief.

422
00:27:18,000 –> 00:27:21,000
It was that simple.
They didn’t think they could

423
00:27:21,000 –> 00:27:25,000
beat their Giants.
And so, the theme of course is

424
00:27:25,000 –> 00:27:29,300
Faith is greater than sight.
So if you get your pamphlets

425
00:27:29,300 –> 00:27:34,600
back out, The first real
question on the Nephilim and

426
00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:38,500
rephaim sense.
What reservations are doubts.

427
00:27:39,000 –> 00:27:44,500
Do you see that may get in the
way of driving out your giant,

428
00:27:46,300 –> 00:27:50,100
but reservations are doubts.
Do you see that may get in the

429
00:27:50,100 –> 00:27:53,000
way of driving out your giant,
feel free to answer that the

430
00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:54,600
rest of our time here this
morning.

431
00:27:57,000 –> 00:27:59,100
But are you comfortable with
your giant?

432
00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:03,800
That can stand in the way.
Are you unsure if maybe you

433
00:28:04,900 –> 00:28:08,000
maybe a can’t live without him?
Well, that’s going to stand in

434
00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:09,700
your way.
All right.

435
00:28:09,700 –> 00:28:12,000
You just unwilling to go on
without your giant.

436
00:28:13,200 –> 00:28:18,500
I’ve kind of become acquainted
and adapted to this that’s going

437
00:28:18,500 –> 00:28:22,300
to stand in your way as well.
So what reservations?

438
00:28:22,300 –> 00:28:25,300
But then sisters, do you see
that are going to get in the way

439
00:28:25,300 –> 00:28:31,500
of you driving out your giant?
I’m sorry, but we’re still not

440
00:28:31,500 –> 00:28:36,300
quite done two numbers, 13, last
verse, we’re given a very

441
00:28:36,300 –> 00:28:40,200
interesting little phrase, it
says in there, we saw the

442
00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:43,400
Giants, the sons of a neck,
which come with the Giants and

443
00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:45,700
we were in our own sight as
Grasshoppers.

444
00:28:45,800 –> 00:28:51,300
And so we were in their sight.
Now this little phrase which

445
00:28:51,300 –> 00:28:55,300
come of the Giants Is really
interesting.

446
00:28:58,100 –> 00:29:01,500
The Giants sons of a neck, which
come of the Giants.

447
00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:06,600
This were giants.
His word, many of us may have

448
00:29:06,600 –> 00:29:08,900
heard before.
It’s the Hebrew word, the

449
00:29:08,900 –> 00:29:11,600
Nephilim.
The Nephilim.

450
00:29:13,100 –> 00:29:17,900
Well, it comes from the root
word nethiah or to fall.

451
00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:21,500
And so this word, Nephilim
really means the Fallen ones,

452
00:29:22,200 –> 00:29:26,100
the Fallen ones.
Now, we won’t actually totally

453
00:29:26,100 –> 00:29:29,200
understand the full, meaning of
this word until the end of our

454
00:29:29,200 –> 00:29:31,300
study of the Giants.
But for now we’re just going to

455
00:29:31,300 –> 00:29:33,800
look at the introduction of
these Nephilim in scripture.

456
00:29:34,000 –> 00:29:38,300
Now, we’ve may have heard before
they Many religious claims as to

457
00:29:38,300 –> 00:29:41,200
what the Nephilim are.
They occur.

458
00:29:41,200 –> 00:29:48,000
First in Genesis 6, at verse for
these, there were giants or

459
00:29:48,000 –> 00:29:50,600
Nephilim in the earth in those
days.

460
00:29:51,100 –> 00:29:53,300
And also after that, when the
sons of God came into the

461
00:29:53,300 –> 00:29:54,800
daughters of men and they bare
children to them.

462
00:29:54,900 –> 00:29:58,100
The same became Mighty Men,
which were of old men of renown

463
00:29:58,300 –> 00:30:00,500
other religions.
As we may have heard assume that

464
00:30:00,500 –> 00:30:04,000
the Nephilim were the angels
that were cast out of Heaven.

465
00:30:05,100 –> 00:30:07,300
It was a group of angels, who
rebelled against everything, God

466
00:30:07,300 –> 00:30:10,100
stood for Satan the chief of
those.

467
00:30:10,200 –> 00:30:15,000
Well, Angels elected himself as
the chief following one, and he,

468
00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:19,100
and his fellow Angels who
rebelled were cast out of

469
00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:22,100
heaven, and have been hunting
humans ever since.

470
00:30:23,300 –> 00:30:28,600
And as The Story Goes, part of
their Rebellion involved Angels,

471
00:30:28,600 –> 00:30:33,100
cast out having relationships
with humans and this resulted in

472
00:30:33,100 –> 00:30:39,000
the idea that Giants were born
The Nephilim half human half

473
00:30:39,000 –> 00:30:42,900
Divine.
We may have heard that idea once

474
00:30:42,900 –> 00:30:46,300
or twice.
But just from reading the verse

475
00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:49,200
itself, we can see that this
doesn’t make a lot of sense.

476
00:30:50,400 –> 00:30:53,600
First of all, there’s many
doctrinal issues with that

477
00:30:53,600 –> 00:30:57,100
belief.
But also just contextually

478
00:30:58,300 –> 00:30:59,600
things don’t seem to go in that
order.

479
00:31:01,400 –> 00:31:06,500
The Fallen ones were in the
earth in those days and even

480
00:31:06,500 –> 00:31:10,100
afterwards when sons of God came
in unto the daughters of men and

481
00:31:10,100 –> 00:31:12,600
they have born to them.
They are the heroes who from a

482
00:31:12,608 –> 00:31:15,400
bold are men of the name or the
men of Shang.

483
00:31:16,100 –> 00:31:20,200
That’s Young’s literal.
So really it actually is saying

484
00:31:20,200 –> 00:31:22,900
the follow ones were already in
the earth in those days.

485
00:31:24,400 –> 00:31:27,000
And then afterwards, when the
sons of God came into the

486
00:31:27,000 –> 00:31:29,900
daughters of men, well, they
born to them Heroes.

487
00:31:31,500 –> 00:31:33,600
So the Giants really weren’t
actually a result of the

488
00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:36,900
marriage of sons of God and
Daughters of men, they were in

489
00:31:36,900 –> 00:31:43,400
the earth in those days already
plaguing people already scaring

490
00:31:43,700 –> 00:31:47,000
people.
It was a fallen ones who had

491
00:31:47,000 –> 00:31:51,700
daughters the sons of God.
Married, this resulted in what’s

492
00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:55,300
called Mighty people Heroes, as
some would view them.

493
00:31:56,800 –> 00:31:58,900
But really we look back a couple
verses we find out what the

494
00:31:58,900 –> 00:32:03,000
origin of them actually was.
You see in Genesis 6 verse 2, it

495
00:32:03,000 –> 00:32:10,100
says that the sons of God Saw.
The daughters of men that they

496
00:32:10,100 –> 00:32:13,400
were fair and they took them
wives of all, which they chose.

497
00:32:13,600 –> 00:32:19,300
They saw something about these.
That they were fair and they

498
00:32:19,300 –> 00:32:22,500
took remind you of anything.
Does anybody else in scripture

499
00:32:22,500 –> 00:32:25,000
before?
Dennis after six, see something

500
00:32:25,100 –> 00:32:28,500
that she thinks looks good and
takes it?

501
00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:31,800
Of course, we understand that to
be Eve partaking of the fruit

502
00:32:32,400 –> 00:32:34,100
and then people were doing
exactly what you’ve does.

503
00:32:34,100 –> 00:32:39,300
Did they saw something they
wanted and they took it and just

504
00:32:39,300 –> 00:32:43,000
like, Eve, these people were
chasing after this Godlike, this

505
00:32:43,000 –> 00:32:46,900
hero identity, and it worked
because some of them became

506
00:32:46,900 –> 00:32:53,900
Mighty or men of renown now,
some people propose that this

507
00:32:53,900 –> 00:33:01,400
Nephilim fallen ones comes from
the idea that they fell from

508
00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:04,600
worshiping God.
They at one time did but they

509
00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:08,100
fell away some people propose.
That’s what the word means, and

510
00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:11,400
it’s true.
You can argue that they at one

511
00:33:11,400 –> 00:33:14,200
time people did, but they
eventually fell away.

512
00:33:15,300 –> 00:33:18,600
There’s actually one other that
maybe fits a little bit better

513
00:33:19,200 –> 00:33:22,700
and it’s in many of the older
translations and commentaries

514
00:33:23,100 –> 00:33:30,100
and it refers to them as those
who fall on others. and we know

515
00:33:30,100 –> 00:33:32,400
a few people have that in the
first few chapters of Genesis do

516
00:33:32,400 –> 00:33:40,700
we people who would fall on
others and so we read Genesis 6

517
00:33:40,700 –> 00:33:42,600
and verse form.
There were giants or there was

518
00:33:42,600 –> 00:33:44,600
the Nephilim in the earth in
those days.

519
00:33:44,800 –> 00:33:46,800
And also after that, when the
sons of God came into the

520
00:33:46,800 –> 00:33:48,900
daughters of men, and they bare
children to them.

521
00:33:49,000 –> 00:33:53,300
The same became those Mighty Men
which were of old men of renown.

522
00:33:53,900 –> 00:34:00,000
They were men.
The Mighty Men or the Gabor now.

523
00:34:01,900 –> 00:34:03,600
I told you Tuesday was a little
bit heavier.

524
00:34:04,600 –> 00:34:08,000
In Genesis chapter 10, we’re
given one of these Gabor.

525
00:34:08,300 –> 00:34:10,400
You may have heard of him before
his name.

526
00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:15,400
Just so happens to be Nimrod.
And cush, begat Nimrod, and he

527
00:34:15,400 –> 00:34:19,100
was a mighty one.
He was one of those Gabor in the

528
00:34:19,100 –> 00:34:21,600
earth.
He was a mighty Hunter before

529
00:34:21,600 –> 00:34:25,000
the Lord, where I visited said,
even as Nimrod the mighty Hunter

530
00:34:25,100 –> 00:34:28,600
before the Lord.
And so it was this good boy was

531
00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:34,600
this Nimrod who fell on?
others, he hunted those who

532
00:34:34,600 –> 00:34:40,300
followed after the name, skip
this for the sake of time.

533
00:34:42,500 –> 00:34:45,300
And so, we then conclude and we
look at this, this phrase again

534
00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:47,800
there were the Nephilim in the
earth in those days.

535
00:34:47,800 –> 00:34:49,699
And also after that, when the
sons of God came into the

536
00:34:49,699 –> 00:34:51,900
daughters of men, they bare
children to them.

537
00:34:52,699 –> 00:34:55,900
It was one last phrase I want to
look at before I move on.

538
00:34:56,100 –> 00:35:02,600
And that’s, and also after that.
What a weird phrase.

539
00:35:03,500 –> 00:35:07,000
What?
Interesting and oddly placed

540
00:35:07,000 –> 00:35:09,700
phrase.
And also, after that.

541
00:35:10,900 –> 00:35:15,400
Why would the author put this
little phrase?

542
00:35:16,400 –> 00:35:19,100
He said, semicolons, actually
the best form of punctuation and

543
00:35:19,100 –> 00:35:20,800
many, many other translations
actually.

544
00:35:20,800 –> 00:35:25,500
Just put a comma there.
It’s literally like a built-in

545
00:35:25,500 –> 00:35:29,800
margin.
Directly into our narrative and

546
00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:33,900
it’s connecting you to the only
other time that this word

547
00:35:33,900 –> 00:35:39,500
Nephilim occurs.
The only two times is here in

548
00:35:39,500 –> 00:35:45,300
Genesis 6 and where we just read
in Numbers, Chapter 13, it

549
00:35:45,300 –> 00:35:49,100
occurs twice.
And I think scriptures links

550
00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:55,100
them very beautifully.
In Genesis 6, it says and also

551
00:35:55,100 –> 00:36:02,700
after that, or they’re Giants.
And in numbers 13, it says well,

552
00:36:02,700 –> 00:36:10,600
those came from the Giants.
And it’s kind of like a margin

553
00:36:10,600 –> 00:36:14,200
built in linking these two
words.

554
00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:18,700
Together Genesis says they
coming after number says, they

555
00:36:18,700 –> 00:36:22,600
came before.
Well, why would it put that?

556
00:36:24,700 –> 00:36:29,700
Well, Moses wrote both books.
Moses was brought back to Egypt

557
00:36:30,300 –> 00:36:32,700
he brought God’s plagues.
He stood up to Pharaoh.

558
00:36:32,800 –> 00:36:35,900
He led the people out of Egypt.
He was a wonderful mediator for

559
00:36:35,900 –> 00:36:38,900
the nation whom he loved.
He traveled loved and led with a

560
00:36:38,908 –> 00:36:44,200
single hope of entering into the
Promised Land. and ultimately,

561
00:36:47,100 –> 00:36:49,400
it was these Giants that kept
him out.

562
00:36:50,600 –> 00:36:53,800
And I can picture him writing
Genesis chapter 6.

563
00:36:55,200 –> 00:36:57,000
Imagine him Penning that
chapter.

564
00:36:58,600 –> 00:37:02,100
He’s leading the children around
the Wilderness and he uses the

565
00:37:02,100 –> 00:37:06,400
words.
And also, after that.

566
00:37:08,000 –> 00:37:13,800
They had not gone away.
He doesn’t want you to forget.

567
00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:20,300
The Giants just don’t disappear.
See, not even a flood.

568
00:37:22,300 –> 00:37:26,900
Somehow not even a flood could
remove the influence of Giants,

569
00:37:27,700 –> 00:37:30,100
and, of course, I’m not saying
that need a giant survived.

570
00:37:31,000 –> 00:37:38,400
I’m saying, It came back.
This is exactly how it is our

571
00:37:38,400 –> 00:37:42,800
lives by the sisters.
Sometimes, we’ll go through a

572
00:37:42,800 –> 00:37:48,600
Bible, School level event in our
lives, will be totally motivated

573
00:37:48,800 –> 00:37:55,700
to wash away, all the Giants in
our lives and it’ll work But

574
00:37:55,700 –> 00:37:59,300
Giants have this nasty little
habit of coming back around.

575
00:38:03,100 –> 00:38:07,200
And so, brothers and sisters.
This is the danger of the Giants

576
00:38:07,200 –> 00:38:11,600
that we face.
But a says that they spied the

577
00:38:11,600 –> 00:38:16,000
land of Hebron numbers 13 Verse
22.

578
00:38:16,200 –> 00:38:20,700
Now, Hebron was built seven
years before xoan in Egypt.

579
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:25,100
It’s interesting because we’ve
actually heard of Hebron before

580
00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:29,100
arba means Foursquare or
perfect.

581
00:38:29,100 –> 00:38:33,300
Stature arba actually was a
city.

582
00:38:34,300 –> 00:38:37,800
Who was named after him called
here, Jeff?

583
00:38:37,800 –> 00:38:41,300
Arba we’ve probably heard of
this name before now, cured

584
00:38:41,300 –> 00:38:47,000
atharva means just like Barbra
city of for here, Jeff, meaning

585
00:38:47,000 –> 00:38:52,900
city are by meaning for and so
this place called kir Jeff arba

586
00:38:53,000 –> 00:38:59,200
was this city of for Well, what
are the four that it was named

587
00:38:59,200 –> 00:39:02,000
after?
I think it’s pretty clearly

588
00:39:02,000 –> 00:39:04,200
referring to his descendants.
A knack.

589
00:39:04,300 –> 00:39:08,700
I’m in, she’s shy and tell my
these are the four who lived in

590
00:39:08,700 –> 00:39:11,100
this land called cure, Jeff
arba.

591
00:39:11,200 –> 00:39:15,000
Now we’ve heard of this place
before Sarah dies in Kiev have

592
00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:20,700
arba the same is Hebron.
Joshua, 14 says the same place

593
00:39:20,700 –> 00:39:24,100
the name of Hebron before was
here, jatoba, which Arbor was a

594
00:39:24,100 –> 00:39:30,300
great man among the anakim.
And so we’ve heard of this place

595
00:39:30,500 –> 00:39:33,800
once or twice and we don’t have
time to get too much into it.

596
00:39:34,100 –> 00:39:37,100
We are quickly running out of
time so I’m going to go ahead.

597
00:39:37,100 –> 00:39:39,900
I’m going to jump to our last
point which you want to make

598
00:39:40,100 –> 00:39:44,300
this morning.
And that’s a very interesting

599
00:39:44,300 –> 00:39:49,300
verse in, which Caleb and Joshua
are going to try a last-ditch

600
00:39:49,300 –> 00:39:54,300
effort.
Please people of Israel.

601
00:39:54,400 –> 00:39:56,500
We have to make it into this
land.

602
00:39:57,200 –> 00:40:00,100
We can’t give up.
Now we’re right on the edge.

603
00:40:02,200 –> 00:40:05,000
It’s a very interesting phrase,
it’s weird.

604
00:40:05,000 –> 00:40:09,500
Especially the King James says,
numbers 14.

605
00:40:09,800 –> 00:40:13,800
Let’s look at verse 8.
If Yahweh Delights in us then he

606
00:40:13,800 –> 00:40:16,000
will bring us into this land,
will give it to us a language

607
00:40:16,000 –> 00:40:18,900
flowing with milk and honey.
Only he says, in verse nine,

608
00:40:19,200 –> 00:40:23,400
Rebel, naughty against Yahweh.
Neither fear, ye the people of

609
00:40:23,400 –> 00:40:28,000
the land That’d be awesome to
just kind of write on our giant.

610
00:40:28,000 –> 00:40:31,800
Wouldn’t it?
Don’t be scared of this but

611
00:40:31,800 –> 00:40:33,700
then, he says something really
weird.

612
00:40:33,800 –> 00:40:37,100
He says, For, they are bread for
us.

613
00:40:38,800 –> 00:40:40,300
Their defense is departed from
them.

614
00:40:40,500 –> 00:40:44,800
You think yourself?
That’s not get me to motivated

615
00:40:45,300 –> 00:40:49,500
their bread for us.
And have that should actually

616
00:40:49,500 –> 00:40:52,000
read.
And it’s worth writing this

617
00:40:52,000 –> 00:40:55,100
down.
They are like our bread.

618
00:40:56,000 –> 00:40:59,500
That’s what it should say.
They are like, our bread.

619
00:41:00,800 –> 00:41:02,600
What was the bread of the
children of Israel?

620
00:41:05,000 –> 00:41:08,800
Was Mana, wasn’t it?
That was our bread for the

621
00:41:08,800 –> 00:41:11,700
children of Israel and Caleb and
Joshua saying they’re like our

622
00:41:11,700 –> 00:41:15,100
Mana.
They’re like our bread, their

623
00:41:15,100 –> 00:41:19,000
defense is departed, from them,
is anybody’s margin have a

624
00:41:19,000 –> 00:41:25,600
meaning for the word defense.
My margin says shadow.

625
00:41:27,400 –> 00:41:32,200
And if your margin says, shadow
circle, it color it, whatever it

626
00:41:32,200 –> 00:41:36,300
is, because it’s beautiful, the
analogy.

627
00:41:36,300 –> 00:41:43,500
He’s making he’s saying these
Giants there like manna And the

628
00:41:43,500 –> 00:41:47,800
shadow is gone.
Brothers and sisters.

629
00:41:47,800 –> 00:41:51,300
What happened to the Mana when
the Shadows left?

630
00:41:53,000 –> 00:41:58,700
It simply dissolved it.
Evaporated, it just dissipated

631
00:41:58,700 –> 00:42:02,200
with the Sun.
And this is the analogy he’s

632
00:42:02,200 –> 00:42:04,500
choosing to use.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

633
00:42:04,600 –> 00:42:07,000
I just absolutely loved it and
he said, Joshua came say to

634
00:42:07,000 –> 00:42:09,600
them, the Giants are like Manna,
they’re just like this little

635
00:42:09,600 –> 00:42:12,100
piece of bread on the ground as
soon as the sun comes up,

636
00:42:12,100 –> 00:42:18,700
they’re gone. then if I could
look at my Giants, that way, I’m

637
00:42:18,700 –> 00:42:22,800
just leaning hundreds of them.
But sometimes it’s really hard

638
00:42:22,800 –> 00:42:26,400
for me to actually believe I see
them with different kinds of

639
00:42:26,400 –> 00:42:29,100
eyes.
So the Giants are like our man.

640
00:42:29,100 –> 00:42:34,400
He says the shadow has departed
and Yahweh is with us, of

641
00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:36,900
course, yahweh’s strength being
symbolic of the Sun in many,

642
00:42:36,900 –> 00:42:39,800
many places.
And he’s saying that those

643
00:42:39,800 –> 00:42:45,900
giants they could simply Melt
Away with the help of God.

644
00:42:47,600 –> 00:42:49,500
You know, it’s interesting is
Joshua and Caleb didn’t make

645
00:42:49,500 –> 00:42:53,800
that up.
They’re pulling it from one of

646
00:42:53,808 –> 00:42:56,800
the place.
It’s a prophecy given by none

647
00:42:56,800 –> 00:43:00,500
other than Moses himself and
your margin alludes to it in

648
00:43:00,500 –> 00:43:07,100
Exodus 15 verse 15.
Moses has just crossed the Red

649
00:43:07,100 –> 00:43:11,800
Sea, the Egyptians lies, slain
on the shore and he sings his

650
00:43:11,800 –> 00:43:15,300
song.
And he says, then the Dukes of

651
00:43:15,300 –> 00:43:17,900
Edom shall be amazed.
The Mighty Men of Moab,

652
00:43:17,900 –> 00:43:20,000
trembling shall take.
Hold upon them.

653
00:43:22,600 –> 00:43:27,000
All the inhabitants of Canaan
shall Melt Away.

654
00:43:30,100 –> 00:43:33,800
And this exact scenario that
Joshua and Caleb were pleading

655
00:43:33,800 –> 00:43:37,800
with the people to see had been
prophesied on the other edge of

656
00:43:37,800 –> 00:43:42,400
their wanderings.
And Caleb and Joshua, Echo those

657
00:43:42,400 –> 00:43:47,900
words, the prophecy.
But as We Know, To no avail.

658
00:43:50,800 –> 00:43:53,000
So brothers sisters.
As we wrap up our thoughts.

659
00:43:53,900 –> 00:43:58,100
This morning, we’ve hopefully
started to see that beating

660
00:43:58,100 –> 00:44:02,200
Giants.
No matter how big is totally

661
00:44:02,200 –> 00:44:07,300
possible.
The first step though, is you

662
00:44:07,300 –> 00:44:08,700
got to look at them with
different eyes?

663
00:44:09,900 –> 00:44:13,000
Don’t see them with these eyes
that hold out.

664
00:44:14,800 –> 00:44:18,700
But instead focus on them with
these eyes of faith.

665
00:44:19,800 –> 00:44:22,100
And tomorrow, we’re going to
look at the failure of the

666
00:44:22,100 –> 00:44:26,300
feeble Giants.
Giants.

667
00:44:26,300 –> 00:44:31,600
Brothers and sisters, who were
easily defeated by those who

668
00:44:31,600 –> 00:44:26,300
simply believed that they could.
Giants.

669
00:44:26,300 –> 00:44:31,600
Brothers and sisters, who were
easily defeated by those who

670
00:44:31,600 –> 00:44:34,200
simply believed that they could.
