Sam Taylor – Class 5: The Just Shall Live by Faith

1
00:00:01,100 –> 00:00:04,200
With that introductory reading.
I asked Brother Sam, Taylor from

2
00:00:04,200 –> 00:00:07,000
the Paris Avenue, Ecclesia to
come forward to deliver his

3
00:00:07,000 –> 00:00:08,900
topic.
The just shall live by faith.

4
00:00:17,500 –> 00:00:20,100
Well, thank you very much.
And good morning, my beloved

5
00:00:20,100 –> 00:00:21,400
brothers and sisters in the
Lord.

6
00:00:21,400 –> 00:00:23,400
Jesus Christ, and dear young
people.

7
00:00:26,800 –> 00:00:28,500
My first class yesterday
morning.

8
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:36,000
I presented the thesis of this
weekend that to study zadok.

9
00:00:36,700 –> 00:00:40,800
The priest.
Is to study faithfulness.

10
00:00:41,800 –> 00:00:46,700
And as we’ve looked through the
life of zadok the priest, we’ve

11
00:00:46,700 –> 00:00:49,400
seen several tests of his
faithfulness.

12
00:00:49,400 –> 00:00:53,600
We’ve seen the development of
faithfulness in his life.

13
00:00:54,700 –> 00:00:58,700
We saw the commitment he made
when he celebrated with all of

14
00:00:58,700 –> 00:01:02,900
Israel, at the coronation of
King David and how he identified

15
00:01:02,900 –> 00:01:05,800
with them for three days.
Even as a memorial service, this

16
00:01:05,800 –> 00:01:08,300
morning, we will identify with
our Lord Jesus Christ, who is Is

17
00:01:09,100 –> 00:01:15,900
in the grave for three days.
And we saw also how zadok the

18
00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:19,400
priest.
When he didn’t.

19
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:24,100
Tell the people about the word
of Yahweh about the law

20
00:01:24,100 –> 00:01:26,700
concerning, the Ark of the
Covenant and it cost a man his

21
00:01:26,700 –> 00:01:30,000
life.
We saw his faithfulness in

22
00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:36,900
rising up again for even though
he had stumbled He was eager to

23
00:01:36,900 –> 00:01:39,000
rededicate himself to the things
of God.

24
00:01:40,800 –> 00:01:43,100
And it’s through that process of
rededication.

25
00:01:45,400 –> 00:01:48,000
Of offering the best of what we
have to God every day of

26
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,300
sharpening the sword refreshing
our minds.

27
00:01:51,300 –> 00:01:54,100
Renewing, our minds as we’re
told in Romans 12, verse 2.

28
00:01:55,500 –> 00:01:58,000
To be transformed by the
renewing of our minds.

29
00:01:58,800 –> 00:02:02,400
That’s how we endure.
What I believe this class is

30
00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:06,200
going to talk about that the
true test of faithfulness, which

31
00:02:06,200 –> 00:02:11,000
is The faithfulness that we have
to demonstrate.

32
00:02:13,100 –> 00:02:16,200
In the last days, against the
pride of man.

33
00:02:18,000 –> 00:02:20,400
Because just before he talked
about the emblems and First

34
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:23,800
Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul
said for there must also be

35
00:02:23,800 –> 00:02:27,600
heresies among you that they
which are approved may be

36
00:02:27,600 –> 00:02:31,300
manifest among you.
The controversies that we go

37
00:02:31,300 –> 00:02:35,700
through.
The challenges against humility.

38
00:02:35,700 –> 00:02:39,600
We ought to show versus The
Pride at the world champions.

39
00:02:41,100 –> 00:02:45,900
This is what separates the wheat
from the chaff and divides the

40
00:02:45,900 –> 00:02:53,900
faithful from the faithless.
And so in this reading this

41
00:02:53,900 –> 00:02:56,900
morning, we’re at about one last
rebellion.

42
00:02:57,900 –> 00:03:00,200
That was that occurred in the
life of King David.

43
00:03:00,500 –> 00:03:02,600
So if you’re already there,
let’s turn over to First Kings

44
00:03:02,600 –> 00:03:10,600
chapter 1.
And provide some context for

45
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:15,500
First Kings chapter 1.
We don’t see a young Valiant

46
00:03:15,700 –> 00:03:24,400
vigorous King David.
He is 69 or 70 years old and a

47
00:03:24,408 –> 00:03:29,500
lot of people in scripture even
at his time live longer than 70

48
00:03:29,500 –> 00:03:32,800
years old, but he had been worn
down hadn’t.

49
00:03:32,800 –> 00:03:38,300
He he had been worn down by the
wars, that he waged not only in

50
00:03:38,300 –> 00:03:41,900
the battlefield, not only
against Giants in Philistines,

51
00:03:42,700 –> 00:03:47,900
but he had Or the Warfare of his
mind and had to go up, even

52
00:03:47,900 –> 00:03:52,100
against flesh and blood dealing
with the rebellion of his son

53
00:03:52,800 –> 00:03:58,500
Absalom.
And now we come to the rebellion

54
00:03:58,500 –> 00:04:03,900
of his other son out of Nyjah.
And on top of all those

55
00:04:03,900 –> 00:04:08,300
rebellions and the wars that he
waged, he had a life of

56
00:04:08,300 –> 00:04:15,100
suffering, he lost three sons so
far in his life and this was due

57
00:04:15,100 –> 00:04:17,300
to the Judgment.
He brought upon himself when, if

58
00:04:17,300 –> 00:04:22,300
you remember, when Nathan came
to him with the parable, Of the

59
00:04:22,300 –> 00:04:25,300
rich man who have many sheep and
the poor man who had one sheep

60
00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:29,700
and that rich man took the one
poor sheep and slaughtered it

61
00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:34,500
and what was David judgment on
that parabolic, man?

62
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:41,000
That man shall surely die and he
shall pay that man, fourfold.

63
00:04:41,100 –> 00:04:45,100
And when Nathan confronted him,
when he said, you are the man.

64
00:04:45,700 –> 00:04:50,600
And David said, I have sinned.
Nathan said, ye shall not surely

65
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:54,500
die.
Nathan did not say you shall not

66
00:04:54,500 –> 00:04:57,000
pay for full because he still
had to understand the

67
00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:01,500
consequence of his behavior.
And because of that, I end up

68
00:05:01,500 –> 00:05:06,100
losing four sons in his life.
The first being the unnamed

69
00:05:06,100 –> 00:05:11,100
child that he had with Bathsheba
the second son being amnion.

70
00:05:11,800 –> 00:05:13,800
The one who defiled his
daughter.

71
00:05:13,800 –> 00:05:18,100
Tame our And Absalom of course,
who he considered a bit

72
00:05:18,100 –> 00:05:22,500
yesterday.
And then today, today will read

73
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:24,800
about the fourth son out of
Nyjah.

74
00:05:26,700 –> 00:05:30,400
And it’s here on this.
We it’s almost as if he’s on his

75
00:05:30,400 –> 00:05:34,400
Deathbed.
Because he’s weak, he’s worn

76
00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:38,400
down.
And it’s when he was perceived

77
00:05:38,500 –> 00:05:41,300
on a superficial level to be at
his weakest.

78
00:05:41,900 –> 00:05:45,200
We see what adonijah does in
First Kings chapter 1 and verse

79
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:48,600
5.
When it says then adonijah the

80
00:05:48,600 –> 00:05:53,400
son of hagath.
Exalted himself saying I will be

81
00:05:53,400 –> 00:05:57,900
king and he prepared him
chariots and Horsemen and fifty

82
00:05:57,900 –> 00:06:05,500
men to run before him now.
The phrase exalted himself in

83
00:06:05,500 –> 00:06:08,000
the Hebrew.
This particular phrase, exalted

84
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:10,100
himself.
It has a more emphatic meaning.

85
00:06:11,900 –> 00:06:16,700
Then other Hebrew.
Words translated as exalted in

86
00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:20,600
the Old Testament.
This word, if you’re into

87
00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:25,000
Strong’s words, it’s the
Strong’s were H4, 984 with NASA,

88
00:06:25,500 –> 00:06:32,800
it means Supreme exaltation.
In this word for Supreme

89
00:06:33,100 –> 00:06:38,100
exaltation is only used one
other time in the entirety of

90
00:06:38,100 –> 00:06:40,800
the Old Testament narrative.
And I want you to keep your

91
00:06:40,800 –> 00:06:43,200
finger in First Kings chapter 1
and turn with me.

92
00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:45,900
If you would over the first
Chronicles chapter 29,

93
00:06:57,800 –> 00:06:59,900
As I’ll see you later in, the
class is event in first

94
00:06:59,900 –> 00:07:02,700
Chronicles chapter 29.
We’re going to see is almost a

95
00:07:02,707 –> 00:07:08,900
direct response to this
Rebellion to this act of supreme

96
00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:12,100
exaltation that this man sought
to display.

97
00:07:13,700 –> 00:07:17,100
In first Chronicles, 29 verse
11, listen to this prayer of

98
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:18,500
David.
This is personally, one of my

99
00:07:18,500 –> 00:07:21,100
favorite prayers in the Bible
and you’ll see how this prayer,

100
00:07:21,100 –> 00:07:24,000
in fact mirrors that of the
Lord’s Prayer.

101
00:07:26,000 –> 00:07:29,400
Take a look at verse 11, Dino
Yahweh.

102
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:36,500
Is the greatness.
And the power and the glory, and

103
00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:40,800
the Victory.
And the Majesty for all in the

104
00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:44,300
heaven and in the earth is thine
eye.

105
00:07:44,308 –> 00:07:49,900
Thine is the kingdom of Yahweh
and thou art exalted as head

106
00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:56,300
above all that word exalted is
that same Hebrew word from First

107
00:07:56,300 –> 00:08:05,500
Kings chapter 1 verse 5 Thank
you very much, brother, Joel.

108
00:08:05,500 –> 00:08:13,900
Somebody read my cue.
So what do we see here?

109
00:08:13,900 –> 00:08:20,200
At a Nyjah adonijah, put himself
on the pedestal by supremely

110
00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:23,100
exalting himself.
He exalted himself in a way that

111
00:08:23,100 –> 00:08:27,200
is reserved exclusively for
almighty God.

112
00:08:30,500 –> 00:08:35,600
Man has sought to exalt himself
against God for as long as

113
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:40,700
Humanity has existed.
The flesh is always at enmity

114
00:08:40,700 –> 00:08:44,800
with the spirit and this phrase
exalts himself, you might be

115
00:08:44,800 –> 00:08:47,000
thinking about a particular New
Testament.

116
00:08:47,000 –> 00:08:51,000
Passage about the exalting which
occurs in the last days, and if

117
00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:53,600
you haven’t already considered
it, let’s turn over to Second

118
00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:55,300
Thessalonians chapter 2.
Please.

119
00:08:57,800 –> 00:08:59,700
Because it’s here in second
Thessalonians.

120
00:09:02,100 –> 00:09:05,900
Pretty Apostle, Paul.
Warren’s the Ecclesia at

121
00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:10,400
thessalonica.
About the falling away.

122
00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:19,100
That would come first.
Before one would come and exalt

123
00:09:19,100 –> 00:09:22,700
itself Sekulow.
Nice 2nd Thessalonians chapter

124
00:09:22,700 –> 00:09:27,800
2, verses 3 and 4.
Let no, man deceive you by any

125
00:09:27,800 –> 00:09:29,500
means for that day, shall not
come.

126
00:09:29,700 –> 00:09:31,600
Except there, come a falling
away, first.

127
00:09:31,600 –> 00:09:36,100
And that man of sin, be
revealed, the Son of Perdition

128
00:09:36,800 –> 00:09:43,400
who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called

129
00:09:43,400 –> 00:09:47,800
God, or that is worshipped.
That he as God sitteth in the

130
00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:51,500
temple of God showing himself
that he is God.

131
00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:55,700
And what did adonijah do?
He supremely exalted himself in

132
00:09:55,700 –> 00:09:59,200
the stead of where almighty God
should be in our hearts and in

133
00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:01,300
our minds.
And if there’s one thing we

134
00:10:01,300 –> 00:10:04,700
learned from the lessons of Eli
and our cyc class on Friday, is

135
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:09,500
that we can’t just look at these
spiritual Heroes and think about

136
00:10:09,500 –> 00:10:11,000
all the good things that they
do.

137
00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:15,200
But we have to look at these
flawed figures in Scripture.

138
00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:20,900
The ones who did wickedly the
ones, who opposed God and by

139
00:10:20,900 –> 00:10:22,300
doing.
So, we look in the mirror,

140
00:10:22,300 –> 00:10:25,300
consider our own flaws consider
our own shortcomings.

141
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:28,900
Because when we look at
adonijah, supremely exalting

142
00:10:28,900 –> 00:10:32,000
himself.
We have to recognize that

143
00:10:32,000 –> 00:10:35,600
exalting ourselves, it doesn’t
necessarily need to be in an

144
00:10:35,600 –> 00:10:39,000
outward display.
It’s not always going to occur

145
00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:42,100
by saying, I will be king and
setting ourselves up on a

146
00:10:42,100 –> 00:10:46,900
literal throne.
Because he Apostle Paul in other

147
00:10:46,900 –> 00:10:50,100
places tells us that you are the
Temple of the Living.

148
00:10:50,100 –> 00:10:54,300
God, we as the body are the
Temple of the Living, God our

149
00:10:54,300 –> 00:10:57,800
hearts and our minds are to
place where God should dwell and

150
00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:00,900
reside.
And we have to ask ourselves.

151
00:11:02,200 –> 00:11:08,700
Do we exalt ourselves to the
throne, in our minds?

152
00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:13,700
Where God should rain, should
God be raining in our hearts and

153
00:11:13,700 –> 00:11:17,300
Minds?
Absolutely. but when we choose

154
00:11:17,300 –> 00:11:20,900
our own way and our own thoughts
over God’s own ways and God’s

155
00:11:20,900 –> 00:11:26,100
Own thoughts, we say in our
hearts, I will be king.

156
00:11:27,500 –> 00:11:30,900
I’m the captain of this ship.
I am the master of my destiny.

157
00:11:31,500 –> 00:11:36,400
When we should be saying, God is
our King God rules on my heart

158
00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,400
and God rules in my mind.
And if you go a little bit

159
00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:44,200
further down in the yeah, have
your bookmark back in First

160
00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:46,400
Kings.
Chapter one, we’ll just turn

161
00:11:46,400 –> 00:11:50,500
back there because we’re going
to see who was Confederate with

162
00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:54,200
Adonai Asia.
In this Rebellion.

163
00:12:03,400 –> 00:12:11,200
Take a look at verse 7.
And he confirmed with joab, the

164
00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:13,700
son of Zechariah.
Now there’s a man who you’d

165
00:12:13,700 –> 00:12:17,800
expect to be in a rebellion
based on personal gain.

166
00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:21,000
Throughout the life of King
David joab.

167
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:23,600
Had been one, who was eager for
vengeance.

168
00:12:23,900 –> 00:12:27,500
Eager for his own prominence
willing to kill his own flesh

169
00:12:27,500 –> 00:12:31,000
and blood.
Even his own cousin on Mesa,

170
00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,600
after David, had put him in the
room of joab, after the

171
00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:39,100
rebellion of Absalom Joe, I was
willing to kill him to secure

172
00:12:39,100 –> 00:12:43,600
his own power and his own place
in the Kingdom.

173
00:12:45,700 –> 00:12:48,400
So, you can see how he and
adonijah would get along quite

174
00:12:48,400 –> 00:12:51,600
well.
Recognizing that adonijah has a

175
00:12:51,608 –> 00:12:54,100
man trusting in his flesh
exalting himself.

176
00:12:54,100 –> 00:12:56,000
That’s something that Joe I
could get behind.

177
00:12:57,900 –> 00:13:06,600
Not terribly surprised by that,
unfortunately. but, Abiathar.

178
00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:13,300
The priest.
Abiathar, the high priest.

179
00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:22,700
He joined to And we saw a buyeth
are side by side of zadok, the

180
00:13:22,700 –> 00:13:26,100
priest all throughout their work
together.

181
00:13:27,500 –> 00:13:31,300
When zadok sought to rededicate
himself, in bringing the art to

182
00:13:31,300 –> 00:13:35,100
Jerusalem a second time,
abiathar was right there next to

183
00:13:35,100 –> 00:13:39,800
him when zadok initiated
leading, the Levites to bring

184
00:13:39,800 –> 00:13:41,700
the Ark of the Covenant to
comfort David.

185
00:13:41,700 –> 00:13:45,000
In this time of suffering
abiathar, was there offering

186
00:13:45,000 –> 00:13:47,400
sacrifices while the people
passed out of the city.

187
00:13:47,700 –> 00:13:51,400
They were side by side working
with each other.

188
00:13:51,500 –> 00:13:57,200
As brothers as fellow laborers
in the truth, For all the years

189
00:13:57,200 –> 00:14:01,700
that zadok was a priest.
And what about abiathar?

190
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:07,500
Well abiathar.
He ran to David take a look over

191
00:14:07,500 –> 00:14:12,900
at first Samuel chapter 22.
This wasn’t a man who is

192
00:14:12,900 –> 00:14:16,300
unfamiliar with David unfamiliar
with his faithfulness,

193
00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:18,500
unfamiliar with David’s
goodness.

194
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:21,700
And first Samuel chapter 22.
Do you remember what happened

195
00:14:21,700 –> 00:14:24,600
here?
This is after David, took the

196
00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:29,500
showbread from his father, from
David’s, from abiathar.

197
00:14:29,500 –> 00:14:32,200
Father, abimelech.
And he ate that show bread with

198
00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:33,700
the Lord.
Jesus Christ referenced in his

199
00:14:33,700 –> 00:14:38,300
Gospels.
And Saul thought that the

200
00:14:38,300 –> 00:14:42,600
priests had aligned themselves
with David and commanded doeg.

201
00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:47,700
The Edomite to slaughter over 80
of them.

202
00:14:48,500 –> 00:14:52,300
All the priests all their
families were slaughtered that

203
00:14:52,300 –> 00:14:57,100
day and in second Samuel chapter
22 you have a young man abiathar

204
00:14:57,100 –> 00:15:03,000
in verse 20.
And one of the sons of a him

205
00:15:03,000 –> 00:15:06,500
elect, the son of a high tub,
named abiathar escaped, and

206
00:15:06,500 –> 00:15:08,500
fled.
After David, he was the only

207
00:15:08,700 –> 00:15:14,700
Survivor of a massacre and
abiathar show.

208
00:15:14,700 –> 00:15:17,700
David that Saul had slain
yahweh’s priests.

209
00:15:19,900 –> 00:15:22,600
All of his family was dead in
one day.

210
00:15:23,500 –> 00:15:26,400
Imagine the trauma.
Imagine a heartache.

211
00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:31,100
And David said unto a by Arthur
I knew it that day.

212
00:15:31,100 –> 00:15:34,300
When doeg the Edomite was there?
That he would surely tell Saul I

213
00:15:34,300 –> 00:15:36,500
have occasion to death of all
the persons that I father’s

214
00:15:36,500 –> 00:15:38,200
house.
But what does he say?

215
00:15:38,500 –> 00:15:42,500
Abide Zhou with me.
Fear, not for he.

216
00:15:42,500 –> 00:15:45,800
That seeketh my life seeketh, I
life, but with me Thou shalt be

217
00:15:45,800 –> 00:15:48,400
in Safeguard.
This was a man who took shelter

218
00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:52,800
under David’s Wings in Exile and
all throughout his Reign.

219
00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:56,800
They comforted each other, they
worked with each other as

220
00:15:56,800 –> 00:15:59,500
brothers.
As fellow laborers in the truth.

221
00:16:03,700 –> 00:16:07,200
Can you imagine how?
David felt.

222
00:16:10,700 –> 00:16:12,700
Can you imagine that heartache
of knowing that someone who had

223
00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:16,200
been with them so long fallen so
far?

224
00:16:17,300 –> 00:16:22,400
Right at the cusp.
Of a new king taking over a

225
00:16:22,408 –> 00:16:25,500
kingdom of righteousness.
And peace, can you imagine how

226
00:16:25,500 –> 00:16:32,900
zadok felt And I think the
unfortunate truth that we have

227
00:16:32,900 –> 00:16:36,700
to acknowledge here.
I think everybody knows that

228
00:16:36,700 –> 00:16:40,200
pain.
I think everybody knows the

229
00:16:40,200 –> 00:16:43,900
heartache.
And the questioning that come

230
00:16:43,900 –> 00:16:48,200
from losing a friend or loved
one to the cares of this world.

231
00:16:48,900 –> 00:16:53,000
Everybody knows what it’s like
when you see that, that slow

232
00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:54,900
progression because it’s never
just a quick one.

233
00:16:54,900 –> 00:16:59,000
And out thing is it it seems to
be a slow backing away.

234
00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:03,000
First, it stops coming to
midweek Bible class, then they

235
00:17:03,000 –> 00:17:05,800
show up at Memorial every other
week then.

236
00:17:05,800 –> 00:17:07,200
It’s once every couple of
months.

237
00:17:08,500 –> 00:17:11,500
And then it’s you don’t see them
that meeting for months at a

238
00:17:11,508 –> 00:17:13,500
time.
And you just have to ask

239
00:17:13,500 –> 00:17:19,800
yourself, what are you doing?
We are so close to the promised

240
00:17:19,800 –> 00:17:21,500
land.
We are right at the edge.

241
00:17:22,500 –> 00:17:28,600
Don’t fall now.
We have to recognize this in our

242
00:17:28,600 –> 00:17:30,900
lives, at this, this has
happened to each and every one

243
00:17:30,900 –> 00:17:33,900
of us.
And so we can feel this pain,

244
00:17:34,200 –> 00:17:38,600
not just with abiathar, the high
priest, but all three of these

245
00:17:38,600 –> 00:17:43,000
men in this verse came from
spiritual families, adonijah who

246
00:17:43,000 –> 00:17:47,500
made whose name means my Lord is
Yahweh was the son of David.

247
00:17:48,500 –> 00:17:51,800
Joab.
Was David’s nephew.

248
00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:57,000
Being a son of 0y at David’s
sister, these all came from

249
00:17:57,000 –> 00:18:01,000
spiritual families.
Nobody is immune to the cares of

250
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:02,900
this life.
Nobody is immune to the

251
00:18:02,908 –> 00:18:06,900
temptation of the lust of the
Flesh of the lust of the eyes of

252
00:18:06,900 –> 00:18:10,100
the pride of life.
And so, we have to ask ourselves

253
00:18:10,500 –> 00:18:15,300
what caused him.
What caused abiathar to Fall

254
00:18:15,300 –> 00:18:20,000
Away.
And I think the answer is one

255
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:21,300
that we addressed yesterday
morning.

256
00:18:21,300 –> 00:18:23,800
Isn’t it?
When we looked at how zadok was

257
00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:27,800
introduced to record as a man
armed for war in Numbers,

258
00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:32,100
chapter 8, we considered how he
the Levites responsibility was

259
00:18:32,100 –> 00:18:35,500
to wait upon the service of the
Tabernacle and those words wait

260
00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:44,500
upon me into war the Warfare.
Even though abiathar was a high

261
00:18:44,500 –> 00:18:48,600
priest performing his service,
he may have been going through

262
00:18:48,600 –> 00:18:53,400
the motions of his service but
he stopped warring the Warfare

263
00:18:53,500 –> 00:18:57,800
of his mind.
And we looked at this yesterday,

264
00:18:57,800 –> 00:19:00,800
but let’s take a quick look over
at 2nd Corinthians, chapter 10.

265
00:19:02,600 –> 00:19:05,700
If you recall, this is the
commentary that God has

266
00:19:06,100 –> 00:19:21,500
concerning spiritual warfare.
And where I want to focus

267
00:19:21,500 –> 00:19:24,900
ourselves in particular as verse
five because you’re going to see

268
00:19:24,900 –> 00:19:27,400
an echo.
That’s very pertinent to the

269
00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:29,200
story that we have in front of
us so far.

270
00:19:32,100 –> 00:19:38,600
Casting down imaginations and
every High thing that exalteth

271
00:19:38,700 –> 00:19:42,900
itself against the knowledge of
God.

272
00:19:46,800 –> 00:19:50,800
But wasn’t adonijah exalting
himself right in front of

273
00:19:50,800 –> 00:19:55,800
abiathar, the priest.
Had abiathar been warring the

274
00:19:55,800 –> 00:19:59,900
Warfare of his mind.
Taking every thought.

275
00:19:59,900 –> 00:20:02,700
Captive by countering it with
the word of God.

276
00:20:03,700 –> 00:20:05,600
And abiathar being a high
priest.

277
00:20:05,600 –> 00:20:07,900
Had that unique relationship
with God almighty?

278
00:20:09,800 –> 00:20:12,500
He had multiple Avenues, which
he could have found an answer.

279
00:20:13,700 –> 00:20:17,600
He could have inquired of
Earlham and thummim the means by

280
00:20:17,600 –> 00:20:20,900
which the priests could discern
difficult situations.

281
00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:25,200
He could have prayed to God
Almighty.

282
00:20:26,100 –> 00:20:27,700
He could have spoken to a
prophet.

283
00:20:28,500 –> 00:20:32,400
He could have asked, King David
himself, is this?

284
00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:38,400
Your will.
But he chose to go along with

285
00:20:38,400 –> 00:20:42,500
adonijah, he chose to go along
with the one who exalted

286
00:20:42,500 –> 00:20:45,700
himself, who exalted the flesh
over God’s will.

287
00:20:47,100 –> 00:20:50,100
And where did that lead
abiathar?

288
00:20:52,100 –> 00:20:55,300
Well, if you look a couple
verses down in back in First

289
00:20:55,300 –> 00:20:57,400
Kings, chapter 1, we see where
it takes him.

290
00:21:04,900 –> 00:21:20,600
Take a look over at verse 9.
And I deny Asia, blue sheep.

291
00:21:20,900 –> 00:21:23,900
Now that word for slew, that
word is almost always associated

292
00:21:23,900 –> 00:21:28,300
with not just killing an animal.
But sacrificing, an animal

293
00:21:29,600 –> 00:21:33,400
adonijah slew sheep, and oxen,
and fat cattle by the stone of

294
00:21:33,700 –> 00:21:37,500
Zoho length, which is by in
rogel and called all his

295
00:21:37,500 –> 00:21:40,000
Brethren, the king’s sons and
all the men of Judah, the king’s

296
00:21:40,000 –> 00:21:44,500
servants.
In that stone of Zola, hath

297
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:47,900
Zoella.
That place only shows up in this

298
00:21:47,900 –> 00:21:52,900
occurrence in scripture and that
word 40 Health it has a

299
00:21:52,908 –> 00:21:58,400
connotation of crawling.
Like a serpent.

300
00:21:59,900 –> 00:22:02,700
The root of that word is often
Transit is only translated a few

301
00:22:02,700 –> 00:22:06,300
times in scripture, but it shows
up either a serpent or worms,

302
00:22:06,900 –> 00:22:10,800
it’s something that is directly
associated with sin, and

303
00:22:10,800 –> 00:22:14,900
Corruption and death.
And one of two things happen at

304
00:22:14,900 –> 00:22:19,500
this point, because abiathar was
there, well, Adam Nyjah

305
00:22:19,600 –> 00:22:24,700
sacrificed at the stone of the
serpent.

306
00:22:26,700 –> 00:22:32,900
By far was either complacent.
In stopping at a Nyjah like Eli

307
00:22:32,900 –> 00:22:35,900
his father sat and was
complacent.

308
00:22:36,900 –> 00:22:42,200
Or abiathar participated in the
sacrifices.

309
00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:48,100
We’re not told which, but either
way it was, this moment that he

310
00:22:48,100 –> 00:22:51,600
made his choice about who he was
serving, God or man.

311
00:22:51,700 –> 00:22:53,500
And what does that tell us?
Brothers and sisters.

312
00:22:54,100 –> 00:22:58,400
Well, it tells us that when we
cease warring, the Warfare of

313
00:22:58,400 –> 00:23:02,200
our minds, we go down a path
where we are offering our

314
00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:10,700
sacrifices on sins altar.
The altar dedicated to sin and

315
00:23:10,700 –> 00:23:12,900
death.
If we stop worrying, the Warfare

316
00:23:12,900 –> 00:23:16,400
of our minds, if we stopped
taking every thought, captive by

317
00:23:16,400 –> 00:23:18,300
examining against the word of
God.

318
00:23:20,400 –> 00:23:22,800
We’re offering our sacrifices to
sin and death.

319
00:23:23,200 –> 00:23:26,500
That’s where all of our efforts.
All of our energy is going to.

320
00:23:27,700 –> 00:23:31,900
And abiathar knew that the
Prince of Peace was coming to

321
00:23:31,900 –> 00:23:35,900
claim his throne.
And we don’t know how soon that

322
00:23:35,900 –> 00:23:39,100
is.
But heat, but the Lord Jesus

323
00:23:39,100 –> 00:23:41,500
Christ.
A greater Prince of Peace.

324
00:23:42,100 –> 00:23:44,400
He’s coming to claim his throne
very soon.

325
00:23:45,400 –> 00:23:49,700
And we can’t fall.
Now, we can’t offer up our

326
00:23:49,700 –> 00:23:53,500
Living Sacrifice to the altar of
this world and the cares of this

327
00:23:53,500 –> 00:23:56,800
life.
And we have to ask ourselves

328
00:23:57,400 –> 00:24:00,500
because this is supposed to be a
class about zadok.

329
00:24:00,500 –> 00:24:04,200
But as we talked about in the
first class God often sets up a

330
00:24:04,208 –> 00:24:07,900
contrast that we can appreciate
the faithfulness, the hope of

331
00:24:07,900 –> 00:24:11,500
his gospel and comparison to the
hopelessness of this world.

332
00:24:12,700 –> 00:24:16,800
So what was zaytox response?
And with that, I want you to

333
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:19,100
turn with me over to habakkuk
chapter 2.

334
00:24:22,500 –> 00:24:26,200
And this is a passage where we
get the title of the class for

335
00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:30,100
this morning, for our Sunday
school, the just shall live by

336
00:24:30,100 –> 00:24:33,200
faith.
This is a passage, which is

337
00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:35,200
quoted a few times in the New
Testament.

338
00:24:37,000 –> 00:24:40,600
Could take a look at habakkuk.
Chapter 2 verses 2 through 4.

339
00:24:55,200 –> 00:24:59,000
And Yahweh answered me.
Write the vision.

340
00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:04,000
And make it plain upon tables
that he may run that readeth it

341
00:25:04,500 –> 00:25:07,000
for the vision is yet for an
appointed time.

342
00:25:08,200 –> 00:25:12,200
But at the end, it shall speak
and not lie though it Terry wait

343
00:25:12,200 –> 00:25:14,600
for it because it will surely
come and will not tarry.

344
00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:18,100
Behold his soul, which is lifted
up.

345
00:25:19,800 –> 00:25:27,600
It’s not upright in him, but the
just shall live by his faith.

346
00:25:29,100 –> 00:25:32,700
and that word just also means
righteous and if you look in the

347
00:25:32,700 –> 00:25:39,400
Hebrew will be very very closely
related to the word zadok

348
00:25:40,500 –> 00:25:47,100
righteousness. and that faith in
the Hebrew that word literally

349
00:25:47,100 –> 00:25:52,200
means firmness and is translated
in a few ways, not just Faith,

350
00:25:52,200 –> 00:25:58,700
but truth stability.
Faithfulness.

351
00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:05,100
Behold his soul, which is lifted
up, is not upright in him.

352
00:26:06,300 –> 00:26:14,200
But zadok shall live by his
faithfulness. and the actions of

353
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:17,300
zadok in this chapter, we’re
going to look at they

354
00:26:17,300 –> 00:26:22,600
demonstrate how we ought to live
Faithfully in the face of false

355
00:26:22,600 –> 00:26:25,800
teaching, in the face of the
lust of the flesh, the lust of

356
00:26:25,800 –> 00:26:31,000
the eyes and the pride of life,
What I want us to do, brothers

357
00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:34,000
and sisters, I want to keep one
hand over in First Kings.

358
00:26:34,000 –> 00:26:40,100
Chapter 1.
And then we’re going to take a

359
00:26:40,108 –> 00:27:05,600
look at James chapter 4.
in particular what I want to do

360
00:27:05,600 –> 00:27:08,900
brothers and sisters while you
have your hand and First Kings

361
00:27:08,900 –> 00:27:14,800
chapter one, I’m going to read
from James Chapter 4 verses, Six

362
00:27:14,800 –> 00:27:19,500
through ten.
But he giveth more grace.

363
00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:25,500
wherefore, he saith God,
resisteth the proud or the one

364
00:27:25,500 –> 00:27:31,300
who uplifts himself, exalts
himself, but giveth Grace, unto

365
00:27:31,300 –> 00:27:36,200
the humble, Now back in First
Kings chapter 1, verses 7

366
00:27:36,200 –> 00:27:39,200
through 9, you see that
adonijah, he called people who

367
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:43,500
he perceived to have worldly
influence to be strong in the

368
00:27:43,500 –> 00:27:47,500
eyes of the flesh.
He called joab, David’s mighty,

369
00:27:47,500 –> 00:27:50,500
man, who was strong in his own
flesh.

370
00:27:51,300 –> 00:27:53,800
And then he called abiathar,
man, who he perceived a wield,

371
00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:57,100
great influence, being a high
priest, being able to lead the

372
00:27:57,100 –> 00:28:03,100
people, but you don’t see zadok
called among them, is they talk

373
00:28:03,400 –> 00:28:07,500
and Nathan and been a Ayah,
those three men, those three

374
00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:11,100
faithful men were not called in
this Rebellion.

375
00:28:12,100 –> 00:28:15,300
They didn’t perceive them that
have any particularly fleshly

376
00:28:15,300 –> 00:28:18,500
strengths.
Humility.

377
00:28:19,300 –> 00:28:21,700
Humility means that we make
ourselves teachable, brothers

378
00:28:21,700 –> 00:28:25,800
and sisters.
When we think there’s nothing

379
00:28:25,800 –> 00:28:28,400
else to learn.
Our hearts become hard and we

380
00:28:28,400 –> 00:28:30,600
stopped worrying.
The Warfare of our minds.

381
00:28:34,700 –> 00:28:38,100
When our hearts become hard, we
stop worrying, the Warfare of

382
00:28:38,100 –> 00:28:41,000
our minds.
So it’s so important for us

383
00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:45,300
brothers and sisters.
That we always make ourselves

384
00:28:45,300 –> 00:28:48,100
teachable that.
We always say there’s more to

385
00:28:48,100 –> 00:28:52,300
learn, there’s more to discover,
I don’t have the answers myself,

386
00:28:52,300 –> 00:28:55,600
I have to consult the Bible.
I have to consult God’s word, to

387
00:28:55,608 –> 00:28:59,100
determine how I should work and
live and move.

388
00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:04,800
And abiathar hadn’t done that.
We don’t see him Consulting

389
00:29:04,800 –> 00:29:07,900
anything.
That would have caused him to

390
00:29:07,900 –> 00:29:10,600
say, I need to stop what I’m
doing.

391
00:29:11,800 –> 00:29:18,400
He had become proud.
But zadok zadok was teachable.

392
00:29:22,500 –> 00:29:26,000
And in Zeta and James for
continuing a little bit down.

393
00:29:30,900 –> 00:29:32,800
Submit yourselves, therefore to
God.

394
00:29:34,000 –> 00:29:35,900
Resist the devil and he will
flee from you.

395
00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,700
And that submitting to God, is
that next section that we see

396
00:29:40,200 –> 00:29:46,800
how zadok overcame.
This last trial in his life.

397
00:29:48,100 –> 00:29:51,500
Because in every interaction
with King, David weather was

398
00:29:51,500 –> 00:29:54,300
taking David’s advice about how
to sanctify himself before

399
00:29:54,300 –> 00:29:57,300
bringing the ark to Jerusalem.
Again, whether it was bringing

400
00:29:57,300 –> 00:30:01,800
the ark back to Jerusalem, when
he brought it to his presence,

401
00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:08,500
Zadok.
In every interaction with David,

402
00:30:09,100 –> 00:30:15,100
he allowed the will of the king
to supersede his own. and in

403
00:30:15,100 –> 00:30:17,400
fact, the only words that we
seized a doc, speaking, a

404
00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:22,700
record, They’re not his words.
They’re in First Kings chapter

405
00:30:22,700 –> 00:30:29,800
one.
And it’s in verse 39, when they

406
00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:33,100
finally, anoint King Solomon and
zadok the priest, took, a horn

407
00:30:33,100 –> 00:30:36,400
of oil out of Tabernacle
anointed Solomon, and they blew

408
00:30:36,400 –> 00:30:41,100
the trumpet and all the people
said God, save King Solomon.

409
00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:44,900
Long Live King Solomon.
Those were the words that David

410
00:30:44,900 –> 00:30:47,800
told all the people to say and
zadok being there.

411
00:30:47,800 –> 00:30:50,200
Would have said that those are
the only words by inference that

412
00:30:50,200 –> 00:30:54,500
we ever see zadok say not his
own words, not his own thoughts,

413
00:30:54,900 –> 00:30:57,800
but the thoughts and words of
his King.

414
00:30:58,000 –> 00:30:59,500
And that’s what it means to
submit to God.

415
00:30:59,500 –> 00:31:02,500
Brothers and sisters.
It means to let God’s will

416
00:31:02,500 –> 00:31:05,500
supersede our own to let his
words be our word.

417
00:31:05,500 –> 00:31:08,500
So, let his thoughts.
Be our thoughts.

418
00:31:10,900 –> 00:31:13,900
And we remember brothers and
sisters the way that the Lord

419
00:31:13,900 –> 00:31:16,800
Jesus Christ surrendered.
His will and The Garden of

420
00:31:16,800 –> 00:31:22,200
Gethsemane, don’t we?
When he said nevertheless, not

421
00:31:22,200 –> 00:31:26,700
my will.
But thine be done in that

422
00:31:26,700 –> 00:31:29,600
ultimate display of surrender of
surrendering.

423
00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:34,800
All Pride all Flash and letting
God’s will completely dominate

424
00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:40,800
his thought in his being And
what about drawing nigh to God?

425
00:31:42,300 –> 00:31:45,900
Well, in First Kings went David
said call before me zadok and

426
00:31:45,900 –> 00:31:48,500
Nathan and been AI.
Yes, they appear before the

427
00:31:48,500 –> 00:31:52,600
king.
And how do we come before our

428
00:31:52,600 –> 00:31:56,200
King?
And I believe the answer for

429
00:31:56,200 –> 00:31:58,800
that is in the words of another
Old Testament Prophet.

430
00:31:58,900 –> 00:32:00,900
So why don’t you turn with me
really quick over the Micah

431
00:32:00,900 –> 00:32:13,700
chapter 6, And this is a passage
that we might be very familiar

432
00:32:13,700 –> 00:32:25,300
with.
In Micah chapter 6, we’re going

433
00:32:25,300 –> 00:32:36,200
to look at verses 6 through 8.
Read what Micah has to say?

434
00:32:38,000 –> 00:32:40,000
Wherewith.
Shall I?

435
00:32:40,700 –> 00:32:45,900
Come before, Yahweh.
And bow myself before the high

436
00:32:45,900 –> 00:32:48,900
God.
Shall I come before him with

437
00:32:48,900 –> 00:32:52,100
burnt offerings with calves of a
year old will Yahweh.

438
00:32:52,100 –> 00:32:57,300
We pleased with 1,000 grams or
with 10,000 of rivers of oil.

439
00:32:57,600 –> 00:33:00,600
Shall I give my firstborn for my
transgression?

440
00:33:00,600 –> 00:33:02,600
The fruit of my body for the sin
of my soul?

441
00:33:04,100 –> 00:33:08,700
No, this is how we come before.
God, he hath showed thee o man,

442
00:33:08,700 –> 00:33:13,100
what is good and what doth
Yahweh require of thee, but to

443
00:33:13,100 –> 00:33:17,700
do justly to do.
Righteously.

444
00:33:21,100 –> 00:33:28,000
And to love Mercy.
And to walk humbly.

445
00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:32,300
Before your God, how do we draw
near to God?

446
00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:36,100
We do so with a humble Spirit we
do, so understanding that we

447
00:33:36,100 –> 00:33:42,000
come to God to seek, instruction
to seek guidance to let his word

448
00:33:42,000 –> 00:33:47,500
direct our thoughts.
That we trust in him with all of

449
00:33:47,500 –> 00:33:50,900
our hearts and lean not on our
own understanding.

450
00:33:54,900 –> 00:33:57,000
And what about those clean hands
and a pure heart will brothers

451
00:33:57,000 –> 00:34:01,300
and sisters to have clean hands
and a pure heart.

452
00:34:01,300 –> 00:34:05,900
In James chapter 4 is contrasted
with being double-minded.

453
00:34:07,000 –> 00:34:10,699
And remember from his figured it
baptism zadok was aligned with

454
00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:16,300
those who had a perfect heart.
Who drew before David when he

455
00:34:16,300 –> 00:34:21,199
was crowned as king?
From his figurative, baptism

456
00:34:22,100 –> 00:34:27,500
zadok was in League with them.
And when we went through our

457
00:34:27,500 –> 00:34:31,199
hymns last night, brothers and
sisters, we did him 379.

458
00:34:32,500 –> 00:34:37,100
And a sister right appoint Lee
out that him 379 directly took

459
00:34:37,199 –> 00:34:43,000
from Psalm 24, who shall Ascend
the hill of Yahweh or who shall

460
00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:46,300
be in his holy place, he who has
Clean Hands.

461
00:34:46,500 –> 00:34:51,600
And a pure heart is Psalm 24
verses 3 through 5.

462
00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:57,400
The reward for drawing unto God
with a pure heart, a humble,

463
00:34:57,400 –> 00:35:02,400
heart is to be in God’s, holy
place.

464
00:35:03,100 –> 00:35:09,700
And then in James 4:10, Humble
yourselves before Yahweh and he

465
00:35:09,700 –> 00:35:14,800
shall.
Lift you up.

466
00:35:16,700 –> 00:35:22,800
And abiathar had lifted himself
up with adonijah, who supremely

467
00:35:22,800 –> 00:35:26,700
exalted himself.
And what happened?

468
00:35:29,400 –> 00:35:32,500
Well, what happened is 2nd?
Kings chapter to happen?

469
00:35:33,800 –> 00:35:38,900
Solomon was King.
And Solomon in order to

470
00:35:38,900 –> 00:35:47,000
establish peace in his kingdom.
Well, he first had to Get the

471
00:35:47,000 –> 00:35:52,400
wickedness out of the kingdom
and First Kings chapter 2.

472
00:35:56,000 –> 00:36:01,200
Look at verse 26. and I’m to
abiathar the priest said to the

473
00:36:01,200 –> 00:36:07,700
king, get thee to anathoth.
Unto thine own fields for Thou

474
00:36:07,700 –> 00:36:12,700
Art, Worthy of death.
But I will not at this time put

475
00:36:12,700 –> 00:36:16,600
me to death because thou baracy
Arc of out of my Yahweh before

476
00:36:16,600 –> 00:36:20,900
David my father and because thou
Hast been Afflicted in all we’re

477
00:36:20,900 –> 00:36:22,200
in.
My father was afflicted.

478
00:36:22,200 –> 00:36:25,900
So Solomon, Thrust out abiathar
from being preached unto Yahweh,

479
00:36:26,100 –> 00:36:29,100
that he might fulfill the word
of Yahweh, which he spake

480
00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:32,800
concerning the house of Eli and
Shiloh and then if you go down,

481
00:36:35,000 –> 00:36:40,200
2, verse 35. after Solomon
Thrust out abiathar, from being

482
00:36:40,200 –> 00:36:47,000
priest before Yahweh who takes
over his office, but zadok And

483
00:36:47,000 –> 00:36:48,900
we have to remember brothers and
sisters that.

484
00:36:50,300 –> 00:36:54,500
We can’t be found enjoying the
cares of this life doing what’s

485
00:36:54,500 –> 00:36:57,100
right in our own eyes because
back in First Kings chapter one,

486
00:36:57,500 –> 00:37:02,900
we saw that.
They were eating and drinking.

487
00:37:04,700 –> 00:37:06,800
And First Kings chapter 1, verse
41.

488
00:37:07,400 –> 00:37:11,200
Now where are we heard about
eating and drinking before

489
00:37:12,000 –> 00:37:16,100
particularly with Association of
the last days?

490
00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:29,700
If you will turn with me over to
Matthew chapter 24. because here

491
00:37:29,700 –> 00:37:43,800
in Matthew chapter 24,
we remember the days of Noah and

492
00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,600
the days of lot for as they were
eating and drinking.

493
00:37:49,000 –> 00:37:51,800
They were feasting and
celebrating in the cares of this

494
00:37:51,800 –> 00:37:54,700
life.
And then judgment Came Upon

495
00:37:54,700 –> 00:38:00,800
them, swiftly and terribly.
And what about verse 45 actually

496
00:38:00,800 –> 00:38:04,000
will start with verse 44.
Therefore be also ready for in

497
00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:07,200
such an hour as ye think.
Not the son of man cometh, who

498
00:38:07,200 –> 00:38:12,300
then is a faithful and wise
servant.

499
00:38:12,300 –> 00:38:15,000
Whom his Lord has made ruler
over his household to give them

500
00:38:15,000 –> 00:38:18,900
meat in due season.
Who will be the faithful servant

501
00:38:19,400 –> 00:38:23,600
who God puts in place to teach
his people with the milk of the

502
00:38:23,600 –> 00:38:26,700
word, with the meat of the word
enacted parables.

503
00:38:28,200 –> 00:38:31,200
Blessed.
Is that servant whom his Lord?

504
00:38:31,200 –> 00:38:34,800
When he cometh shall find.
So, doing verily, I say to you

505
00:38:34,800 –> 00:38:37,800
that he shall make him ruler
over all his goods and what

506
00:38:37,800 –> 00:38:41,700
happened when Solomon.
Saw that zadok was a faithful

507
00:38:41,700 –> 00:38:45,300
priest.
Well, he Thrust out abiathar.

508
00:38:48,100 –> 00:38:51,400
And he made zadok ruler, the
high priest.

509
00:38:54,200 –> 00:38:56,700
But what about that?
Evil servant when he says my

510
00:38:56,700 –> 00:39:00,200
Lord delayeth his coming.
He begin to Smite his fellow

511
00:39:00,200 –> 00:39:06,100
servants and to eat and drink
with the drunken even as a by

512
00:39:06,100 –> 00:39:10,500
afar, eat and drank with
adonijah offering his sacrifices

513
00:39:10,500 –> 00:39:16,800
to the altar of sin.
And what happens in verse 51 of

514
00:39:16,800 –> 00:39:19,900
Matthew 24.
It’s not immediate death.

515
00:39:23,100 –> 00:39:25,400
You shall appoint him.
His portion with the Hypocrites

516
00:39:25,900 –> 00:39:28,200
and there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth is that

517
00:39:28,200 –> 00:39:32,300
reduction rejection is that
being thrust out.

518
00:39:34,400 –> 00:39:36,500
And that’s the warning to all of
us brothers and sisters that if

519
00:39:36,500 –> 00:39:39,700
we are not faithful in these
last days before the Prince of

520
00:39:39,700 –> 00:39:44,600
Peace establishes, his kingdom.
We will be Thrust out from his

521
00:39:44,600 –> 00:39:49,400
presence.
To bitterly reflect on our

522
00:39:49,400 –> 00:39:52,800
shortcomings and how we could
have been faithful how we could.

523
00:39:52,800 –> 00:39:55,200
Have said the words of the king
from our mouths and thought the

524
00:39:55,200 –> 00:39:57,100
thoughts of the kings in our
mind.

525
00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:06,200
But zadok, he humbled himself.
and he exalted Solomon as king

526
00:40:06,900 –> 00:40:10,600
before, all the people, and in
his mind, And the Prince of

527
00:40:10,600 –> 00:40:12,400
Peace.
Exalted him to the high

528
00:40:12,400 –> 00:40:20,000
priesthood.
And I want you to turn with me

529
00:40:20,000 –> 00:40:22,300
very briefly over the first
Chronicles 29.

530
00:40:24,500 –> 00:40:28,900
This is the chapter where we
considered this direct response

531
00:40:28,900 –> 00:40:33,500
to stark contrast to the Supreme
exultation of adonijah.

532
00:40:33,900 –> 00:40:40,500
In First Kings, 1 verse 5 and
First Chronicles chapter 29, We

533
00:40:40,500 –> 00:40:44,800
don’t see a bedridden, decrepit.
Spiritually, weak, David.

534
00:40:44,800 –> 00:40:48,000
We see a David?
Who’s ready to pass on the

535
00:40:48,000 –> 00:40:51,200
kingdom to his son?
Strong in God.

536
00:40:51,800 –> 00:40:56,900
Strong in his faith?
And we’ll take a look in

537
00:40:56,900 –> 00:41:06,300
particular at verse 22.
And look at this contrast those

538
00:41:06,300 –> 00:41:09,400
who are eating and drinking with
adonijah before Sims Altar and

539
00:41:09,400 –> 00:41:13,600
now here in first Chronicles 29,
we see that they ate and drank

540
00:41:13,600 –> 00:41:17,900
before Yahweh on that day, with
great gladness.

541
00:41:19,900 –> 00:41:24,100
And they made Solomon, the son
of David King the second time.

542
00:41:24,200 –> 00:41:25,800
And that’s how we know that this
event happened.

543
00:41:25,800 –> 00:41:29,500
After first Kings chapter 1
because zadok had already

544
00:41:29,500 –> 00:41:31,200
anointed Solomon to be king
before.

545
00:41:31,200 –> 00:41:36,100
All the people the first time
This is a mirror of the Kingdom,

546
00:41:36,100 –> 00:41:38,800
isn’t it?
The Prince of Peace is on the

547
00:41:38,800 –> 00:41:41,900
verge of receiving his kingdom
about ready to establish his

548
00:41:41,900 –> 00:41:45,700
Temple in Jerusalem and all the
people are gladly rejoicing,

549
00:41:45,900 –> 00:41:48,500
mirroring that celebration that
we saw with the coronation of

550
00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:53,400
David and First Chronicles 11,
In eating and drinking before

551
00:41:53,400 –> 00:41:56,600
Yahweh, this is the marriage
supper of the Lamb, isn’t it?

552
00:41:58,600 –> 00:42:00,900
And Solomon anointed king before
all the people.

553
00:42:01,500 –> 00:42:02,800
And then look what happens.
Here.

554
00:42:03,600 –> 00:42:08,000
Solomon was anointed to be the
leader, the chief governor and

555
00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:13,600
zadok to be priests zadok was
anointed.

556
00:42:16,100 –> 00:42:17,500
Why was it awkward mounted?
Well.

557
00:42:17,500 –> 00:42:20,100
He was consecrated there for the
high priesthood.

558
00:42:22,500 –> 00:42:24,600
But I think there’s also a
greater principle there as well.

559
00:42:24,600 –> 00:42:27,900
Brothers and sisters.
So I want you to keep your hands

560
00:42:27,900 –> 00:42:30,900
there.
Actually, you don’t need to

561
00:42:30,908 –> 00:42:31,900
worry about keeping her hands
are.

562
00:42:31,900 –> 00:42:37,900
Let’s just turn to Psalm 45.
In the sun of the song of the

563
00:42:37,900 –> 00:42:49,200
sons of Korah. this Psalm,
speaking of the Beauty and the

564
00:42:49,207 –> 00:42:56,300
Splendor and the terror of the
king, We’re going to take a look

565
00:42:56,300 –> 00:43:04,100
at verse 7.
Thou lovest righteousness and

566
00:43:04,100 –> 00:43:08,900
hatest wickedness.
You remember what the fall?

567
00:43:08,900 –> 00:43:14,800
The house of Eli was Eli, love
righteousness, he loved God’s

568
00:43:14,800 –> 00:43:18,100
Arc, but he couldn’t bring
himself to hate the wickedness,

569
00:43:18,100 –> 00:43:22,700
which resided in his own Sons
because of that, the house of

570
00:43:22,700 –> 00:43:25,700
Islam are Eli’s Sons.
Even abiathar, lost the

571
00:43:25,700 –> 00:43:30,400
priesthood.
Thou lovest, righteousness and

572
00:43:30,400 –> 00:43:32,900
hate us wickedness.
Therefore God, thy God.

573
00:43:32,900 –> 00:43:38,800
Hath anointed thee with the oil
of gladness above thy fellows,

574
00:43:39,900 –> 00:43:42,400
And this is something that can
apply both the King Solomon.

575
00:43:43,500 –> 00:43:48,100
because, When you love
righteousness, peace, will

576
00:43:48,100 –> 00:43:52,200
follow Hebrews chapter 7 verse 1
and 2 that Melchizedek first by

577
00:43:52,200 –> 00:43:56,600
interpretation.
King of righteousness.

578
00:43:58,600 –> 00:44:03,200
And then king of peace and in
James chapter 3, that wisdom is

579
00:44:03,200 –> 00:44:11,500
first.
Pure then Peaceable, That this

580
00:44:11,500 –> 00:44:15,800
could apply to Solomon.
And it’s applied as a doc, Who

581
00:44:15,800 –> 00:44:19,300
Loved righteousness Who Loved
following the decree of his King

582
00:44:19,800 –> 00:44:24,100
and he was anointed above his
fellow abiathar.

583
00:44:24,100 –> 00:44:28,100
Who would soon be Thrust out?
And by anointing Solomon.

584
00:44:28,300 –> 00:44:31,700
He helped fulfill the prophecy
by anointing the king, whose

585
00:44:31,700 –> 00:44:35,300
ruled he’d Minister under the
rest of his mortal life.

586
00:44:39,700 –> 00:44:43,200
And in the Saunders, a very
peculiar reference to the

587
00:44:43,200 –> 00:44:45,500
priesthood.
Scroll down a little bit

588
00:44:45,500 –> 00:44:47,700
further.
If you would, to verse 14 and

589
00:44:47,700 –> 00:44:49,600
this is about the King’s
Daughter.

590
00:44:50,900 –> 00:44:52,900
All glorious.
Within her.

591
00:44:52,900 –> 00:44:56,300
Clothing is of wrought, gold,
symbolic of that immortality.

592
00:44:56,400 –> 00:45:02,700
She shall be brought unto the
king in raiment of needlework.

593
00:45:03,800 –> 00:45:08,800
Now, where we heard of that word
needlework before This

594
00:45:08,800 –> 00:45:13,000
needlework the root word of it.
If you don’t have it in your

595
00:45:13,000 –> 00:45:16,800
margins turn with me over to
Exodus chapter 28.

596
00:45:27,500 –> 00:45:35,900
And take a look at verse 39.
And to give you some context,

597
00:45:35,900 –> 00:45:41,000
this is about the attire of the
high priest.

598
00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:51,100
And thou shalt embroider the
coat of fine linen and thou

599
00:45:51,100 –> 00:45:54,800
shalt make the miter.
A fine linen and thou shalt make

600
00:45:54,800 –> 00:46:00,800
the girdle of Needlework, it’s
not the same word.

601
00:46:02,100 –> 00:46:04,100
This is a root of the word
needlework, which is used in

602
00:46:04,100 –> 00:46:07,500
Psalm 45, but the principle is
consistent that the bride of

603
00:46:07,500 –> 00:46:10,900
Christ will be presented to the
king in a fashion of an

604
00:46:10,900 –> 00:46:14,600
immortalized, high priest rotten
gold symbolic of immortality.

605
00:46:14,600 –> 00:46:18,500
With that curious needlework
that was found in the entire of

606
00:46:18,500 –> 00:46:22,400
the high priest and the girdle
ready to stand and Minister

607
00:46:22,400 –> 00:46:25,500
before.
Yahweh not just for a temporary

608
00:46:25,500 –> 00:46:29,300
season.
But for a lifetime And brothers

609
00:46:29,300 –> 00:46:32,000
and sisters in our excitation
this morning.

610
00:46:33,300 –> 00:46:36,200
We will look at the reward of
faithfulness in the Kingdom age,

611
00:46:36,600 –> 00:46:40,100
but let us remember to stand and
be faithful to God in our time

612
00:46:40,100 –> 00:46:44,100
today because it’s only through
being faithful to God In His

613
00:46:44,100 –> 00:46:46,900
holy things and not looking to
our own strength or our own

614
00:46:46,900 –> 00:46:51,300
wisdom.
That we will be rewarded with

615
00:46:51,300 –> 00:46:54,700
that priesthood.
That is not just for a life for

616
00:46:54,700 –> 00:46:58,700
our mortal lives but for eternal
life and the close brothers and

617
00:46:58,700 –> 00:47:02,600
sisters, I’m going to read from
Revelation chapter 22.

618
00:47:04,000 –> 00:47:09,500
In verse 11.
This final vision of the kingdom

619
00:47:09,500 –> 00:47:11,300
is final vision of New
Jerusalem.

620
00:47:17,800 –> 00:47:20,200
For those who will be
immortalized, priest, who no

621
00:47:20,200 –> 00:47:22,400
longer.
I have who no longer like the

622
00:47:22,400 –> 00:47:24,600
high priest bore.
The gold-plated said, Holiness

623
00:47:24,600 –> 00:47:26,900
unto Yahweh and their foreheads,
but their name shall be in their

624
00:47:26,900 –> 00:47:29,300
foreheads.
And what’s the plea?

625
00:47:34,800 –> 00:47:40,900
He, that is unjust.
Let him be unjust, still he

626
00:47:40,900 –> 00:47:43,000
which is filthy.
Let him be filthy still.

627
00:47:44,400 –> 00:47:49,700
And he that is righteous, let
him be righteous still.

628
00:47:52,000 –> 00:47:56,000
And he that is.
Holy Let him be holy still.
