1
\n00:00:07,960 –> 00:00:10,440
\nMorning, my dear brothers and
\nsisters in the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:10,440 –> 00:00:13,000
\nChrist.
\nThis morning, in our <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:13,000 –> 00:00:16,520
\nconsideration of the geography
\nof the Holy Land, we’d like to <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:16,520 –> 00:00:21,320
\nmake a journey from north to
\nSouth, or more specifically, <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,680 –> 00:00:26,480
\nfrom top to bottom.
\nWe’ve mentioned in our studies <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,480 –> 00:00:29,680
\nthat the geography of the Holy
\nLand in the Land’s attributes <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,960 –> 00:00:33,240
\nreinforce the principles of the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:36,200
\nAnd one of the first principles
\nthat we have to come to grips <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:36,200 –> 00:00:41,320
\nwith in a knowledge of the truth
\nis is that man is mortal, that <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:41,320 –> 00:00:45,360
\nwe are heading down towards
\ndeath, and that apart from the <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:45,360 –> 00:00:48,320
\noffering of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist and our identification <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:48,320 –> 00:00:52,760
\nwith that, there can be no hope
\nfor mankind. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:56,520
\nAnd that is reinforced, brothers
\nand sisters, by the principles <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:56,720 –> 00:00:59,880
\nof the land.
\nOn a journey from Mount Hermon <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:00,560 –> 00:01:05,519
\nto the Dead Sea, we just look at
\nsome of the topography of the <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:05,519 –> 00:01:06,360
\nland.
\nHere. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:06,880 –> 00:01:10,520
\nMount Hermon is all the way up
\nin the north, right at the top. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:10,520 –> 00:01:15,520
\nHere it’s 9000 feet above sea
\nlevel. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:16,320 –> 00:01:19,120
\nIt sticks out in the land of
\nIsrael like a head. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:20,040 –> 00:01:24,000
\nBut the moment that you come
\ndown from Hermon and the waters <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:24,280 –> 00:01:27,960
\nof the Jordan River are formed
\nby the melting snows of Hermann,<\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:29,440 –> 00:01:34,240
\nthe land begins to descend.
\nSo you start at the top, and you<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:37,040
\ngo down and down and down and
\ndown. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:37,680 –> 00:01:40,960
\nAnd it’s a journey from Hermann
\nto the Dead Sea that emphasizes <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:40,960 –> 00:01:44,760
\nthe principle of man’s
\ninevitable decline. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:47,840
\nHe starts up here at the top.
\nVery good. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,480
\nGod made man upright, but man
\nsought out many devices, and <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:55,760
\nthat’s going to be reinforced on
\nour journey this morning from <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:55,760 –> 00:02:00,400
\nMount Hermon to the Dead Sea.
\nMount Hermon is 9000 feet <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:04,560
\nroughly above sea level.
\nThe Dead Sea, which is not quite<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:04,560 –> 00:02:08,160
\non this map but it is a little
\nbit lower than here, is the <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:08,160 –> 00:02:14,040
\nlowest point on the Earth’s
\nsurface, 14192 feet below sea <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:14,040 –> 00:02:18,440
\nlevel.
\nSo we go 11,000 feet down from <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:24,680
\nthere, down on this little map
\nhere to there to the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:25,120 –> 00:02:28,200
\nIt reinforces the important
\nprinciple that we all must come <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:33,880
\nto grips with that we are
\nmortal, that we are dying, and <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:33,880 –> 00:02:38,240
\nthat without the Lord Jesus
\nChrist there can be no hope for <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:38,240 –> 00:02:42,080
\nmankind.
\nSo if we come to Psalm 133, we’d<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:42,080 –> 00:02:46,080
\nfirst like to identify the
\nsignificance of Mount Hermon. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:48,200 –> 00:02:53,280
\nIn Psalm 133, which we have in
\nthe words of the hymn that we <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:53,280 –> 00:02:56,640
\njust sang, we see the
\nsignificance of Mount Hermon. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:56,960 –> 00:03:02,080
\nMount Hermon, significantly, is
\naligned with the head of the <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:05,160
\nhigh priest, and we know about
\nthe head of the high priest. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:05,160 –> 00:03:07,760
\nThe high priest was the ideal
\nIsraelite. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:12,000
\nAll of the garments which he
\nwore bespoke holiness and <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:15,920
\nrighteousness, and particularly
\nthe the mitre of the High <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:15,920 –> 00:03:17,440
\nPriest.
\nWhereupon were the words <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:17,640 –> 00:03:23,040
\nHOLINESS to Yahweh inscribed?
\nAnd Herman is linked with the <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:23,040 –> 00:03:28,800
\nthinking of the High Priest,
\nwhich was holiness to Yahweh in <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:34,040
\nPsalm 133 We read in this very
\nshort Psalm, Behold how good and<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:34,040 –> 00:03:37,440
\nhow pleasant it is for brethren
\nto dwell together in unity. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:38,160 –> 00:03:39,800
\nUnity.
\nNow what’s that like? <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:40,880 –> 00:03:43,280
\nWhat’s this unity like?
\nWell, he gives 2 examples. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:44,040 –> 00:03:46,880
\nHe says it’s like the precious
\nointment that ran down upon the <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:46,880 –> 00:03:51,400
\nhead that ran down upon the
\nbeard, even Aaron’s beard that <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:54,640
\nwent down to the skirts of his
\ngarments. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:54,640 –> 00:03:56,680
\nNow, the first thing that we
\nneed to understand about that <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:56,680 –> 00:04:01,520
\nverse is, is that the word
\nskirts does not mean skirts. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:01,760 –> 00:04:06,360
\nAs we understand it, the word
\nskirts there is the word collar.<\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:07,960 –> 00:04:11,360
\nSo it ran down the head onto the
\nbeard. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:11,960 –> 00:04:15,360
\nIt went to his collar and it
\nstopped. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:17,079 –> 00:04:19,360
\nThe same word is used if you
\njust keep your hand in Psalm <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:19,360 –> 00:04:21,920
\n133.
\nCome back to Exodus 28. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:27,560
\nIt’s used for the top of the
\nrobe of the ephod of the High <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:27,560 –> 00:04:30,480
\npriest.
\nThe oil went down to this <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:30,480 –> 00:04:37,680
\nparticular point and it stopped.
\nExodus chapter 28 and verse 31. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:38,640 –> 00:04:43,400
\nAppropriately, there were seven
\nparticular pieces of material in<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:46,200
\nAaron’s garments, and one of
\nthem was the robe of the ephod, <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:46,200 –> 00:04:49,080
\nwhich was all of blue, All of
\nblue. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:50,120 –> 00:04:54,040
\nSpeaking of righteousness
\nintact, verse 31 of Exodus 28. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:54,440 –> 00:04:58,440
\nAnd thou shalt make the robe of
\nthe ephod all of blue, and there<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:58,440 –> 00:05:01,560
\nshall be a hole in the top of
\nit. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:02,000 –> 00:05:04,560
\nThat word, their whole is our
\nword. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:04,560 –> 00:05:10,240
\nSkirts in Psalm 133.
\nIn the midst thereof it shall <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:10,240 –> 00:05:13,480
\nhave a binding of woven work
\nround about the whole. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:13,480 –> 00:05:18,480
\nThe collar of it, as it were the
\nwhole of a Hoberjon, that it be <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:21,360
\nnot rent.
\nSo this robe of the ephod was <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:21,520 –> 00:05:25,840
\ntaken, and it was stitched, and
\nit was stitched to the collar so<\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:25,840 –> 00:05:30,640
\nthat it could not be torn.
\nAnd the oil, as it was put upon <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:30,640 –> 00:05:35,320
\nAaron’s head, it ran down the
\nhead, onto the beard, to the <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:35,320 –> 00:05:40,600
\ncollar and stopped.
\nNow what did the body of the <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:40,600 –> 00:05:43,800
\nhigh priest represent?
\nWell, it represented the nation.<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:44,160 –> 00:05:48,000
\nIt represented the ecclesia,
\nwhich was to be connected to the<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:52,240
\nhead of the high priest.
\nAnd because the robe of the <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:57,120
\nephod was created in such a way
\nthat it could not be torn, the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:57,120 –> 00:06:02,680
\nanointing oil, although it
\nstopped at the collar, it united<\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:02,680 –> 00:06:07,360
\nhead with body.
\nAnd the Psalmist says that’s <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:07,360 –> 00:06:10,600
\nunity.
\nHow are we ever going to have <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:14,960
\nunity in our collegius or in the
\nbrotherhood at large? <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:15,480 –> 00:06:19,760
\nIt’s only if the body has the
\nthinking of the head. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:22,160 –> 00:06:23,720
\nAnd the Psalmist says that’s
\nunity. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:24,880 –> 00:06:26,360
\nWell, he gives us another
\nillustration. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:26,520 –> 00:06:35,280
\nCome back to Psalm 133, Psalm
\n133, he says in verse three as <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:35,280 –> 00:06:38,320
\nthe dew of Herman.
\nAnd you can cross out the words <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:38,320 –> 00:06:41,800
\nin italics that descended upon
\nthe mountains of Zion. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:45,320
\nFor there Yahweh commanded the
\nblessing, even life forevermore.<\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:45,320 –> 00:06:48,480
\nYou know, it’s a simple fact of
\ngeography, brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:48,480 –> 00:06:53,720
\nthat the dew of Herman doesn’t
\nget anywhere near the mountains <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:53,720 –> 00:06:56,120
\nof Zion.
\nYou know, the mountains of Zion <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:57,600 –> 00:06:59,840
\nare right down the central
\nspine, as we’ve seen in our <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:59,840 –> 00:07:01,920
\nstudies.
\nMount Herman. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:01,920 –> 00:07:06,680
\nHere the dew comes off of
\nHerman, goes down and forms the <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:06,680 –> 00:07:10,920
\nJordan River, which is several,
\n100 feet below sea level. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:16,680
\nIt gets nowhere near the
\nmountains of Zion, just like the<\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:16,680 –> 00:07:21,480
\nanointing oil which was poured
\ndown Aaron’s head got to the <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:21,480 –> 00:07:24,600
\ncollar and it stopped.
\nIt didn’t get to the body, it <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:24,600 –> 00:07:26,360
\ngot to the collar and it
\nstopped. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:31,560
\nBut because the robe of the
\nephod was connected with the <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:31,560 –> 00:07:36,640
\nhead, it shared in the benefits
\nof the separation of the head. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:36,640 –> 00:07:41,120
\nAnd so it is with Mount Hermon.
\nThe dew that falls upon Hermon <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:42,040 –> 00:07:48,440
\nis then taken and it’s passed
\ndown to the body so that the <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:51,920
\nrest of the land shares in the
\nbenefits of what’s going on up <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:51,920 –> 00:07:56,720
\nhere at Mount Hermon.
\nAnd the the the Psalmist here <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:56,720 –> 00:08:02,640
\nsays that’s unity, so that if
\nthe land were ever detached from<\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:02,640 –> 00:08:06,360
\nHerman, it couldn’t enjoy any of
\nthe blessings that come from off<\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:09,840
\nof its mountain.
\nAnd if we were ever to detach <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:09,840 –> 00:08:12,280
\nourselves from our high peace,
\nhigh priest, brothers and <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:12,280 –> 00:08:16,320
\nsisters, we could never, ever
\nshare in the benefits that come <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:16,320 –> 00:08:19,040
\nfrom his thinking being
\nseparated. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:19,440 –> 00:08:21,800
\nHow is it that brethren dwell
\ntogether in unity? <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:28,560
\nOnly by having the thinking of
\ntheir high priest might I say <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:30,240
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nAnd it may sound like an <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:30,240 –> 00:08:34,280
\noversimplification, but it’s
\ntrue that most ecclesial <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:34,280 –> 00:08:39,400
\nproblems begin when people do
\nnot think like Christ. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:40,120 –> 00:08:43,400
\nIf we all thought and acted like
\nour head, we would be a <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:43,400 –> 00:08:47,080
\nharmonious group.
\nBut of course, sadly, often <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:47,080 –> 00:08:51,080
\nthat’s not the case.
\nBut that’s how we get unity. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:51,600 –> 00:08:57,920
\nSo the mountain of harmony is
\naligned with the high priest of <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:57,920 –> 00:09:00,920
\nIsrael.
\nHe was anointed upon the head. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:02,320 –> 00:09:05,320
\nAnd as that dew ran down the
\nbeard, the beard being a symbol <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:10,520
\nof maturity, it gave every
\nappearance of being like Mount <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:10,520 –> 00:09:14,040
\nHermon.
\nYou know, if you were to look at<\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:14,040 –> 00:09:18,520
\nthe land of Israel and you were
\nto see it as a body with the the<\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:18,520 –> 00:09:23,000
\nNegev in the South, with the
\nHill Country in the middle, If <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:23,360 –> 00:09:25,520
\nyou were to look at the land of
\nIsrael and you were to to <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:25,560 –> 00:09:27,080
\npicture it as a body, where’s
\nthe head? <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:28,120 –> 00:09:31,040
\nWell, the head of the land of
\nIsrael is Mount Hermon, right <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:31,040 –> 00:09:33,920
\nhere.
\nIt could be seen from 30 or 40 <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:33,920 –> 00:09:37,200
\nmiles away, and it sticks up
\nthere like a head. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:38,040 –> 00:09:44,240
\nAnd the beauty of that head was
\nmeant to remind the land of the <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:44,240 –> 00:09:47,120
\nbeauty that goes on in the
\nthinking of our high priest, <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:50,520
\nwhich is holiness unto Yahweh.
\nDo you know what the name Herman<\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:50,520 –> 00:09:55,800
\nmeans?
\nWell, actually means the nose. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:56,440 –> 00:10:00,800
\nIt’s linked with the Hebrew word
\nfor nose coat. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:01,360 –> 00:10:05,960
\nSo it’s like a head.
\nThis is the ideal, This is <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:05,960 –> 00:10:09,280
\npurity, this is unity.
\nThis is where man in the <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:09,280 –> 00:10:11,920
\nbeginning was.
\nHe was in harmony with the <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:15,680
\nElohim.
\nBut of course we know that they <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:15,680 –> 00:10:17,400
\nlost that.
\nAnd that’s what the River Jordan<\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:17,400 –> 00:10:26,550
\nis going to tell us all about.
\nSouth Herman with its Whitehead,<\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:27,350 –> 00:10:29,590
\nis likened to the high priest
\nwearing his mitre. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:30,830 –> 00:10:34,400
\nIt’s blue lace, and you see
\nthese little laces of blue is <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:38,480
\nlike the robe of the Ephod, and
\nHerman’s triangular strips of <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:38,480 –> 00:10:42,840
\nsnow give every appearance of
\nthe beard of maturity. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:42,840 –> 00:10:45,480
\nYou know, when the snow covers
\nthat mountain and the snow is <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:45,480 –> 00:10:50,280
\nthere, even in summer, it looks
\nfor all the world like a frosty <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:50,280 –> 00:10:55,360
\nbeard that’s been saturated with
\nthe anointing oil that comes <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:55,360 –> 00:11:01,520
\nfrom heaven And their brothers
\nand sisters is the ideal, the <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:01,520 –> 00:11:06,520
\nhead of our high Priest, from
\nwhich unity and separateness and<\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:06,520 –> 00:11:10,160
\nheavenliness can be derived.
\nNow the interesting thing about <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:10,160 –> 00:11:14,080
\nHerman is it has two other names
\nin Scripture, and they’re both <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:16,000
\nsignificant.
\nThey come to Deuteronomy Chapter<\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:29,830
\n3, Deuteronomy Chapter 3.
\nThe Gentiles gave Herman a <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:29,830 –> 00:11:36,150
\ncouple of other names,
\nDeuteronomy Chapter 3 and verse <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:36,190 –> 00:11:40,040
\n8, and we took at that time out
\nof the hand of the two kings of <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:40,040 –> 00:11:43,240
\nthe Amorites, the land that was
\non this side of Jordan from the <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:43,240 –> 00:11:47,840
\nriver of Arnon onto Mount
\nHermon, which Hermon the <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:47,840 –> 00:11:53,560
\nCydonians call Sirion and the
\nAmorites call it Shenyun. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:54,080 –> 00:11:58,800
\nSo the Gentiles gave Herman
\nthese other names, The Cydonians<\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:58,800 –> 00:12:03,280
\ncalled it Sirion and the
\nAmorites call it Shenir. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:03,280 –> 00:12:05,560
\nAnd again, when names like that
\nare specified, brothers and <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:05,560 –> 00:12:09,280
\nsisters, the record is inviting
\nus to grab our concordance and <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:09,280 –> 00:12:10,880
\nto check the meanings of the
\nnames. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:11,160 –> 00:12:15,280
\nWell, it just so happens that
\nSirion comes from the same root <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:20,360
\nas the word Haberjan that we
\njust read in Exodus 28, used in <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:20,360 –> 00:12:23,920
\nrespect to the collar of the
\nEFA. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:24,440 –> 00:12:29,360
\nAnd the word shenir, which means
\nto clatter or to glisten, is <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:29,360 –> 00:12:31,480
\njust like the high priestly
\ngarments. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:31,840 –> 00:12:36,000
\nThe word Sirion means to
\nglitter, which when you looked <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:39,160
\nat the high priest and you saw
\nall those beautiful garments, it<\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:39,160 –> 00:12:45,120
\nwould remind you of the glitter
\nand the beauty of Mount Hermon. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:45,720 –> 00:12:48,200
\nSo Mount Hermon is linked,
\nbrothers and sisters, with the <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:48,200 –> 00:12:53,920
\nideal, the thinking of our high
\nPriest, which we if we want <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:59,960
\nunity in our lives and unity in
\nour colleges, we must embrace <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:00,680 –> 00:13:03,880
\nand assimilate to.
\nNow there was one other famous <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:03,880 –> 00:13:08,120
\nevent that took place at Mount
\nHermon, and this gives us the <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:08,120 –> 00:13:10,920
\nkey indicator to what Herman
\nstands for. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:15,600
\nIt’s over in the New Testament
\nin Matthew chapter 17, Matthew <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:20,320
\nchapter 17, the Lord has just
\ntold his disciples that they’re <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:20,320 –> 00:13:24,640
\ngoing to Jerusalem.
\nHe’s going to be taken with <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:26,640
\nwicked hands, crucified and
\nslain. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:27,680 –> 00:13:31,040
\nWell, God wanted to
\ncounterbalance that, and he <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:31,040 –> 00:13:35,000
\ncounterbalanced that in the very
\nnext section of Matthew with a <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:35,000 –> 00:13:39,200
\nTransfiguration.
\nThe transfiguration was the <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:39,200 –> 00:13:41,960
\nglory which would follow the
\nsuffering. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:43,240 –> 00:13:48,640
\nAnd Matthew, chapter 17.
\nAnd after six days Jesus taketh,<\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:48,640 –> 00:13:51,440
\nPeter and James and John his
\nbrother, and bringeth them up <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:51,440 –> 00:13:57,360
\ninto an high mountain apart.
\nNow what was that particular <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:57,360 –> 00:14:00,760
\nmountain?
\nNow where was the Lord on on <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:00,760 –> 00:14:02,760
\nthis occasion?
\nWell, if you just back up to <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:03,080 –> 00:14:06,720
\nMatthew chapter 16 and verse 13,
\nwe’re told quite clearly where <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:06,720 –> 00:14:10,480
\nhe was.
\nHe was in the coast of Caesarea <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:10,680 –> 00:14:17,200
\nPhilippi, which Caesarea
\nPhilippi is just below Mount <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:17,200 –> 00:14:20,600
\nHermon.
\nSo if the Lord was in Caesarea <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:20,600 –> 00:14:24,360
\nPhilippi and he wanted to ascend
\ninto a very high mountain, <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:25,040 –> 00:14:29,200
\nthere’s only one mountain in
\nthat area that it could be, and <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:29,200 –> 00:14:31,760
\nthat would of course be Mount
\nHermon. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:32,440 –> 00:14:34,560
\nAnd there in Mount Hermon he had
\nthe vision of the <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:34,560 –> 00:14:38,920
\ntransfiguration where his face,
\nMatthew 17, verse two did shine <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:38,920 –> 00:14:42,240
\nas the sun and his raiment was
\nwhite as the light. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:42,240 –> 00:14:45,920
\nIt’s just like these meanings up
\nhere for hermit to to glitter, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:45,920 –> 00:14:49,720
\nto clatter.
\nLike the beauty and the glory of<\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:49,720 –> 00:14:53,480
\nthe high priestly garments, the
\ndisciples saw the Lord in his <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:53,680 –> 00:14:56,920
\nimmortal glory.
\nSo the record of Luke says that <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:56,920 –> 00:14:59,720
\nno fuller on earth could ever
\nattempt to white them like that <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:03,800
\nbecause these were the garments
\nof immortality which the <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:06,440
\ngarments of the high priests
\nspoke of. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:07,840 –> 00:15:12,200
\nSo in Herman, brothers and
\nsisters, we have the ideal where<\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:12,200 –> 00:15:16,680
\nman was in the beginning and
\nharmony with the Elohim in <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:16,680 –> 00:15:21,640
\nfellowship with his God.
\nBut of course we know that man <\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:21,640 –> 00:15:23,280
\ndoes not remain in that
\ncondition. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:24,160 –> 00:15:28,120
\nHis thinking is corrupted by the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:28,560 –> 00:15:32,800
\nHis thinking begins to lead him
\ninto sin, and the wages of sin <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:37,000
\ninevitably will produce death.
\nAnd So what starts up on Mount <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:42,480
\nHermon is this glorious picture
\nof these melting snows which <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:42,480 –> 00:15:48,880
\nform the river Jordan descends
\ndown and down and down until <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:48,880 –> 00:15:55,000
\nfinally it reaches the Dead Sea.
\nBut that decline, brothers and <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:55,000 –> 00:15:58,440
\nsisters, doesn’t always happen.
\nImmediately you look at some of <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:58,440 –> 00:16:01,200
\nthe area around Hermon.
\nLook at the water. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:02,080 –> 00:16:03,880
\nThis is taken from Caesarea
\nPhilippi. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:03,880 –> 00:16:06,280
\nYou see the dew melts on
\nHermann. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:07,680 –> 00:16:11,680
\nThose dews flow down that large
\nmountain and it forms the river <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:11,680 –> 00:16:14,360
\nJordan.
\nThis is a picture of Caesarea <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:14,360 –> 00:16:18,160
\nPhilippi called today Banias.
\nIt’s where the River Jordan <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:18,160 –> 00:16:21,960
\nstarts and it’s a glorious piece
\nof territory. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:22,600 –> 00:16:26,880
\nYou can go for a hike in this
\narea and the water is Aqua blue.<\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:27,360 –> 00:16:30,760
\nIt’s like the waters that you’ll
\nsee either in New Zealand or out<\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:30,760 –> 00:16:34,040
\nWest in British Columbia.
\nAnd it speaks about where man <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:34,040 –> 00:16:38,320
\nstarted.
\nThis is just down the hill, Same<\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:38,320 –> 00:16:44,000
\npark, this beautiful Crystal
\nClearwater. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:47,640
\nThat’s the River Jordan at its
\norigins there in Banias. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:48,000 –> 00:16:51,200
\nAs the dew comes off of Hermann
\nand it flows down that mountain,<\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:55,520
\nit is crystal clear.
\nHere’s another one just right <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:55,520 –> 00:16:59,840
\ndown the hill there at Banius.
\nThat’s the beginnings of man. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:00,440 –> 00:17:07,040
\nHe begins in the beginning in
\nharmony and fellowship with his <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:07,040 –> 00:17:08,400
\nGod.
\nYou know, just like when we’re <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:08,400 –> 00:17:11,440
\nborn, you know, there’s, there’s
\nthis bundle of joy in your arms.<\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:14,560
\nBut as Brother Roberts points
\nout, it’s also a bundle of <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:14,560 –> 00:17:17,240
\npropensities.
\nAnd those propensities, of <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:17,240 –> 00:17:21,599
\ncourse, will will be reminded of
\nas we go down the river. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:21,599 –> 00:17:26,200
\nSo that’s man’s beginning.
\nNow let’s go about 20 to 25 <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:30,680
\nmiles South.
\nAnd this is where what it is at <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:30,680 –> 00:17:36,120
\nthe top.
\nThat’s about 25 miles South. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:38,360 –> 00:17:42,720
\nThis is around Bethsaida.
\nThis is the the bridge Highway <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:42,720 –> 00:17:48,000
\n888 goes right over and you can
\nalready see the water has <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:50,520
\nchanged.
\nIt’s now brown. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:51,440 –> 00:17:56,200
\nIt’s now murky over a short
\ndistance of about 30 miles to <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:59,000
\nthe South.
\nThe water is brown and it’s <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:03,720
\nmurky, indicating man’s sure and
\ncertain decline. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:07,640
\nYou know the word Jordan means
\nthe descender. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:09,480 –> 00:18:12,720
\nIt starts in all of its beauty
\nand elegance, but it goes down <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:12,720 –> 00:18:17,480
\nand down and down into death.
\nThis is the land, brothers and <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:17,480 –> 00:18:20,160
\nsisters, reminding us of the
\nprinciple that we all know to be<\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:20,160 –> 00:18:23,080
\ntrue.
\nThat man is mortal, that we are <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:23,080 –> 00:18:25,520
\ndying.
\nWe think that life goes on and <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:25,520 –> 00:18:26,880
\non and on.
\nIt it doesn’t. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:30,800
\nWe we’ve got to accept our
\ncondition and the nature that we<\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:30,800 –> 00:18:32,520
\ninherit.
\nAnd the Jordan River here <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:32,960 –> 00:18:35,680
\nreminds us of that.
\nJust show you where we’ve come <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:35,680 –> 00:18:37,200
\nfrom.
\nWe were just up here at Caesarea<\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:37,200 –> 00:18:39,680
\nPhilippi.
\nThis is Bannius. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:39,680 –> 00:18:42,080
\nWhere those pictures were taken
\nfrom. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,000
\nHere’s Mount Hermon.
\nAnd this last picture that we <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:48,040
\nsaw is right about here near
\nBest. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:48,040 –> 00:18:51,800
\nSay it right as the Jordan River
\nis about to go into the Sea of <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:58,320
\nGalilee, where it is already
\nabout 500 feet below sea level <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:59,600 –> 00:19:04,760
\nat Galilee here, So we’ve gone
\nfrom 9000 feet above sea level <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:05,200 –> 00:19:10,920
\nto about 500 feet below in just
\nthe space of about 25 miles. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:12,200 –> 00:19:15,760
\nMan’s decline is sure and it is
\ncertain. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:15,760 –> 00:19:18,760
\nAnd the Jordan River, as you may
\nknow it goes into the top of the<\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:18,760 –> 00:19:24,120
\nSea of Galilee here and then it
\ncomes out the bottom down here. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:24,640 –> 00:19:28,960
\nSo we’ll have a thing or two to
\nsay then about the the Sea of <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:28,960 –> 00:19:31,600
\nGalilee.
\nHere’s the river Jordan, best <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:33,920
\nsay it where the picture, the
\nlast picture was taken is up in <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:33,920 –> 00:19:37,920
\nhere and it sort of winds its
\nway down in into the top of the <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:37,920 –> 00:19:40,360
\nSea of Galilee.
\nAnd this is already about 500 <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:40,360 –> 00:19:44,200
\nfeet below sea level.
\nSo there must be then some <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:44,200 –> 00:19:49,920
\nsignificance to Galilee, because
\nGalilee is is on this journey <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:50,160 –> 00:19:56,080
\ndownward towards the Dead Sea.
\nWhat was Galilee of course known<\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:56,080 –> 00:19:58,120
\nfor?
\nWell, it was backwards <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:58,120 –> 00:20:00,720
\nterritory.
\nIt was where the people sat in <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:00,720 –> 00:20:04,760
\ndarkness.
\nGalilee signifies the ring, and <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:04,760 –> 00:20:08,600
\nyou can see sort of the ringed
\nshape to that. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:12,240
\nLake Galilee in the scriptures
\nhas about four different names. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:12,600 –> 00:20:15,840
\nIt’s called the Sea of Galilee,
\nwhich means the ring. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:16,240 –> 00:20:19,480
\nIt’s also called Kinereth, which
\nmeans harp. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:20,120 –> 00:20:25,240
\nYou can see kind of the harp
\nshape to this particular lake. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:27,600
\nBut it’s also called something
\nelse. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:27,960 –> 00:20:32,040
\nIf you come to John Chapter 21,
\nit’s called something else. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:38,840
\nYou know Galilee is a very
\ninteresting lake. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:38,840 –> 00:20:43,840
\nIt’s it’s like a bowl.
\nThere are hills all around it <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:43,840 –> 00:20:46,840
\nand sometimes the wind gets
\nsucked into a vortex so that the<\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:52,040
\nthe sea can be very, very calm
\none minute and then 10 minutes <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:52,040 –> 00:20:54,440
\nlater it’s very, very turbulent.
\nYou remember the disciples <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:54,440 –> 00:20:56,360
\nexperienced that on the lake.
\nThey were out there. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:56,360 –> 00:20:58,800
\nThe Lord pushed them out.
\nHe went into one of these <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:58,800 –> 00:21:01,640
\nmountains to pray.
\nAnd then all of a sudden the <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:01,640 –> 00:21:05,080
\nlake became very stormy, very
\nturbulent because of this. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:09,320
\nThe way that Galilee is placed,
\nit’s like a bowl with hills on <\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:09,400 –> 00:21:12,760
\neither side.
\nIt’s like the nations that are <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:12,760 –> 00:21:16,560
\ncasting up mire and dirt that
\nare prone to storm, that are <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:16,560 –> 00:21:21,800
\nprone to difficulty, and it’s
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ alone that<\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:25,920
\ncan calm that particular sea.
\nIn John chapter 21 it’s called <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:25,920 –> 00:21:28,880
\nsomething else.
\nIn verse one after these things,<\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:28,880 –> 00:21:32,040
\nJesus showed himself again to
\nhis disciples at the Sea of <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:32,920 –> 00:21:36,800
\nTiberius.
\nSo it’s called Galilee, it’s <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:41,280
\ncalled Kinneret, it’s called
\nGenesaret, and it’s also called <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:46,920
\nTiberius, which was the name of
\nthe Emperor representing by that<\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:46,920 –> 00:21:51,720
\nthe Sea of Nations, the Roman
\nemperor Tiberius, the river <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:51,720 –> 00:21:56,680
\nTiber that flows through Rome.
\nIt’s also the name of this <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:56,680 –> 00:21:59,200
\nparticular sea.
\nAnd the major city today along <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:03,000
\nthe Sea of Galilee is Tiberius,
\nwhich is right here on the <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:06,320
\nwestern side.
\nSo it represents the Sea of <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:09,440
\nNations.
\nWe’ve come down from Herman the <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:09,440 –> 00:22:14,640
\nIdeal.
\nThe water was glorious in blue. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:15,600 –> 00:22:19,000
\nNow it’s dirty, it’s murky, it’s
\ncasting up mire and dirt. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:19,000 –> 00:22:26,440
\nIt’s the Sea of the Nations, the
\nRiver Jordan, meaning descender <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:27,320 –> 00:22:31,400
\nrepresenting man’s sure and
\ncertain decline. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:32,880 –> 00:22:35,600
\nWell, here’s the river as it
\ncomes out from the Sea of <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:35,600 –> 00:22:37,640
\nGalilee.
\nWe were just at the top where it<\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:37,640 –> 00:22:41,520
\nwent into the Sea of Galilee.
\nNow it’s coming out of the <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:41,520 –> 00:22:43,520
\nbottom.
\nI think we’re beginning to see <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:43,520 –> 00:22:46,120
\nsome of the significance for
\nwhich Jordan stands, brothers <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:46,120 –> 00:22:48,720
\nand sisters.
\nIt stands for the flesh. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:49,440 –> 00:22:53,440
\nAnd there were three men in the
\nScriptures that were manifested <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:53,440 –> 00:22:56,240
\nto Israel coming out of this
\nriver. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:56,960 –> 00:22:59,960
\nAnd it was at this particular
\nriver, which represents the <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:59,960 –> 00:23:04,160
\nflesh and all of its ugliness,
\nthat God chose to manifest these<\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:04,160 –> 00:23:06,920
\nmen to Israel.
\nAnd those men were Joshua, <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:07,960 –> 00:23:10,840
\nElisha, and the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:11,360 –> 00:23:13,880
\nLet’s look at the first case in
\nJoshua chapter 3. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:16,280 –> 00:23:20,520
\nWe’ll look at these three men
\nand then we’ll explain why these<\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:20,520 –> 00:23:30,080
\nthree men in Joshua Chapter 3.
\nMoses has passed off the scene <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:30,080 –> 00:23:34,080
\nand now it’s time for his
\nreplacement to be magnified. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:34,080 –> 00:23:36,360
\nBut there there may have been
\nsome in the nation, brothers and<\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:36,360 –> 00:23:38,560
\nsisters, who had doubts about
\nthat. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:39,720 –> 00:23:43,280
\nSo when it came time for Joshua
\nto be magnified in the sight of <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:43,280 –> 00:23:45,600
\nall Israel, this is what God
\nwanted them to do. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:46,120 –> 00:23:50,080
\nJoshua chapter 3 and verse 7.
\nAnd Yahweh said unto Joshua, <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:50,080 –> 00:23:55,200
\nThis day will I begin to magnify
\nthee in the sight of all Israel <\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:55,200 –> 00:23:58,800
\nthat they may know, which of
\ncourse implies that there were <\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:03,080
\nsome who doubted that they may
\nknow that as I was with Moses, <\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:03,440 –> 00:24:07,000
\nso I will be with thee.
\nAnd thou shalt command the <\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:07,000 –> 00:24:10,240
\npriest that bear the ark of the
\ncovenant, saying, when you’re <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:10,240 –> 00:24:13,400
\ncome to the brink of the water
\nof Jordan, you shall stand still<\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:13,400 –> 00:24:15,680
\nin Jordan.
\nSo you see what God was doing <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:15,680 –> 00:24:17,680
\nhere.
\nBy these instructions to Joshua,<\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:17,840 –> 00:24:21,800
\nJoshua, this day I’m going to
\nmagnify you in the sight of all <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:21,800 –> 00:24:23,600
\nIsrael.
\nNow go and tell the priest to <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:28,960
\nput their feet in Jordan.
\nAnd when the ark goes across <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:30,120 –> 00:24:34,160
\nverse 11, Behold the ark of the
\ncovenant of the Lord of all the <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:34,160 –> 00:24:37,280
\nearth passeth over before you
\ninto Jordan. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:37,520 –> 00:24:41,360
\nThat ark, of course, represented
\nthe leadership to which Joshua <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:41,360 –> 00:24:45,280
\nwas connected.
\nAnd when that ark goes over <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:45,280 –> 00:24:48,480
\nJordan, you will be magnified in
\nthe sight of all Israel. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:48,480 –> 00:24:51,640
\nNow the phrase there, the Lord
\nof all the earth. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:51,640 –> 00:24:54,560
\nIn verse 11, you’ll know that
\nit’s in small print. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:55,720 –> 00:24:59,840
\nIt’s not in small capitals as it
\nis in verse 7, where of course <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:59,840 –> 00:25:03,840
\nit is the Hebrew name of our
\nHeavenly Father, He who will be.<\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:04,320 –> 00:25:09,080
\nBut the word Lord in verse 11 is
\na dog, the ruler of all the <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:09,120 –> 00:25:11,880
\nearth.
\nThis day, Joshua, I will magnify<\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:11,880 –> 00:25:15,280
\nyou in the sight of all Israel.
\nThe ruler of all the earth will <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:15,520 –> 00:25:20,080
\ngo over Jordan.
\nSo Yahweh manifested his <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:20,080 –> 00:25:24,040
\nacceptance of Joshua to Israel
\nby connecting him with going <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:24,040 –> 00:25:29,360
\nacross the river Jordan.
\nLet’s come to the next example <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:29,360 –> 00:25:34,200
\nin Second Kings 2, who begin to
\nsee why God would manifest men <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:36,560
\nby getting them across this
\nriver. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:37,320 –> 00:25:43,680
\nSecond Kings Chapter 2 Elijah is
\nabout to depart and there are 50<\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:43,680 –> 00:25:51,480
\naspirants for the job. 51 If you
\ncount Elijah and his successor <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:51,480 –> 00:25:56,640
\nnow is going to be manifest, And
\nin order that his successor <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:56,640 –> 00:25:59,760
\nmight be manifest, they were
\ntaken down to the River Jordan, <\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:00,440 –> 00:26:06,760
\nSecond Kings, Chapter 2 and
\nverse 12 Elijah saw it, and he <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:06,760 –> 00:26:09,080
\ncried.
\nMy father, my father the chariot<\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:09,080 –> 00:26:12,480
\nof Israel, and the horsemen
\nthereof, and he saw him no more.<\/p>\n

385
\n00:26:13,400 –> 00:26:15,920
\nHe took hold of his own clothes,
\nand rent them in two pieces. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:26:15,920 –> 00:26:18,800
\nHe took up also the mantle of
\nElijah that fell from him, and <\/p>\n

387
\n00:26:18,800 –> 00:26:22,800
\nwent back and stood by the Bank
\nof Jordan. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:23,640 –> 00:26:27,800
\nSo the mantle changed at
\nprecisely the same spot where <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:28,160 –> 00:26:31,680
\nMoses leadership was succeeded
\nby Joshua. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:32,480 –> 00:26:35,600
\nAnd it says verse 14.
\nHe took the mantle of Elijah <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:35,600 –> 00:26:37,440
\nthat fell from him and smote the
\nwaters. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:37,440 –> 00:26:40,400
\nAnd they said, where is Yahweh,
\nelohim of Elijah? <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:41,360 –> 00:26:43,840
\nWhere is he?
\nAt Jordan. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:45,600 –> 00:26:48,280
\nAnd when he had smitten the
\nwaters they parted, hit her and <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:48,280 –> 00:26:52,000
\nthither and Elijah went over.
\nAnd when the sons of the <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:52,000 –> 00:26:55,840
\nprophets which were to view at
\nJericho saw him, they said the <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:55,840 –> 00:27:01,320
\nspirit of Elijah doth rest upon
\nElijah, and they came to meet <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:01,320 –> 00:27:05,040
\nhim and bowed themselves to the
\nground before him. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:13,120
\nSo when Elijah was manifested to
\nIsrael at the river Jordan, and <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:13,120 –> 00:27:16,240
\nit became apparent to all that
\nYahweh was with Elijah, they <\/p>\n

401
\n00:27:16,240 –> 00:27:20,360
\nbowed themselves to the ground
\nbefore him at the river Jordan. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:27:21,840 –> 00:27:25,040
\nThe third case is in Matthew
\nchapter 3. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:25,040 –> 00:27:28,120
\nNow we’ll we’ll tie all these
\ntogether after looking at this <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:28,120 –> 00:27:31,280
\nvery famous reference in Matthew
\nchapter 3. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:33,080 –> 00:27:35,960
\nJohn, of course, has been
\nbaptizing and it’s time for the <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:35,960 –> 00:27:42,280
\nForerunner to end his course.
\nEven after John was in prison, <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:42,280 –> 00:27:44,640
\nthere were still disciples
\nfollowing after John. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:44,640 –> 00:27:48,160
\nSo there was some reservation in
\ntheir minds as to whether they <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:48,160 –> 00:27:51,520
\nshould continue to follow John,
\nor whether they should follow <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:52,360 –> 00:27:57,200
\nthe one whom John ran before.
\nAnd so they went down to the <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:57,200 –> 00:28:01,400
\nriver Jordan.
\nVerse 13. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:28:02,280 –> 00:28:06,520
\nThen cometh Jesus from Galilee
\nto Jordan unto John. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:28:06,520 –> 00:28:08,920
\nNow that’s the same journey that
\nwe’ve just traversed from <\/p>\n

414
\n00:28:08,920 –> 00:28:13,720
\nGalilee to Jordan unto John to
\nbe baptized of him. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:14,880 –> 00:28:18,840
\nVerse 16 And Jesus, when he was
\nbaptized, went up straightway <\/p>\n

416
\n00:28:18,840 –> 00:28:23,840
\nout of the water, the water of
\nJordan, And, lo, the heavens <\/p>\n

417
\n00:28:23,840 –> 00:28:27,400
\nwere open unto him.
\nAnd he saw the Spirit of God <\/p>\n

418
\n00:28:27,400 –> 00:28:30,720
\ndescending like a dove, and
\nlighting upon him, or as the <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:30,760 –> 00:28:34,840
\nGreek is remaining on him.
\nAnd lo, a voice from heaven <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:34,840 –> 00:28:39,880
\nsaying, This is my beloved Son,
\nin whom I am well pleased. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:40,360 –> 00:28:44,160
\nAt the river Jordan there was
\nthat manifestation, that this <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:44,160 –> 00:28:47,120
\nwas the one that they now were
\nto follow. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:47,120 –> 00:28:51,360
\nSo with Joshua this day will I
\nbegin to magnify thee in the <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:51,360 –> 00:28:55,560
\nsight of all, all Israel.
\nWhere is Yahweh Elohim of Elijah<\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:55,760 –> 00:29:01,120
\nand Elijah went over?
\nThis is my beloved Son, in whom <\/p>\n

426
\n00:29:01,120 –> 00:29:03,240
\nI am well pleased.
\nNow why brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:03,240 –> 00:29:11,600
\nthose three men?
\nWell, Joshua Yahashua is of <\/p>\n

428
\n00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:13,880
\ncourse the name of our Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:29:14,520 –> 00:29:18,840
\nJesus is but the Greek
\nequivalent, and it means the <\/p>\n

430
\n00:29:18,840 –> 00:29:25,440
\nsalvation of God.
\nAnd Elisha also means the same <\/p>\n

431
\n00:29:25,440 –> 00:29:29,200
\nthing, the salvation of gods.
\nThey had very similar names. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:29,560 –> 00:29:32,080
\nAnd why was it that they were
\nable to get through that river? <\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:33,280 –> 00:29:39,360
\nBecause it was God’s salvation
\nthat was at work in all three of<\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:39,360 –> 00:29:41,160
\nthem.
\nAnd because they were able to <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:41,160 –> 00:29:44,720
\nget through that river and to be
\nmanifested out of that river <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:44,720 –> 00:29:49,680
\nwhich so stood for the flesh.
\nIt was apparent then to all that<\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:49,680 –> 00:29:55,120
\nthis was the one that God had
\nchosen, in whose authority there<\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:55,120 –> 00:29:59,000
\nwould now be vested.
\nSo Jordan, brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:59,000 –> 00:30:04,080
\nstands for the flesh and it’s
\ncome from Mount Hermon. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:30:05,000 –> 00:30:09,200
\nMan begins upright.
\nBut man of course, has sought <\/p>\n

441
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:12,080
\nout many devices.
\nHe’s he’s gone down the way of <\/p>\n

442
\n00:30:12,080 –> 00:30:14,400
\nsin.
\nAnd that is what the Jordan <\/p>\n

443
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:17,640
\nspeaks of.
\nThis is an overhead shot of <\/p>\n

444
\n00:30:17,640 –> 00:30:21,040
\nJordan as we make our way
\ntowards the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:30:21,040 –> 00:30:25,080
\nAnd what does it look like?
\nLooks like the winding of a <\/p>\n

446
\n00:30:25,080 –> 00:30:28,600
\nsnake, doesn’t it?
\nIf you look at Jordan on a map <\/p>\n

447
\n00:30:28,840 –> 00:30:33,600
\nbetween the Sea of Galilee and
\nthe Dead Sea, you’ll see a lot <\/p>\n

448
\n00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:35,200
\nof this.
\nIt’s like the winding of a <\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:35,200 –> 00:30:38,720
\nsnake.
\nIt’s the serpent thinking, going<\/p>\n

450
\n00:30:38,720 –> 00:30:43,080
\ndown and down and down into
\ndeath. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:43,560 –> 00:30:49,840
\nIf the water was dirty up there,
\nnorth of the Sea of Galilee, it <\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:49,840 –> 00:30:54,200
\ngets even dirtier.
\nAs the water approaches the Dead<\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:54,200 –> 00:30:59,040
\nSea, the waters of Jordan become
\nmore stagnant and turgid, <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:59,600 –> 00:31:02,600
\ndemonstrating man’s inevitable
\ndestiny. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:06,680
\nThe water begins to flow slower
\nand slower and slower. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:31:06,920 –> 00:31:09,560
\nIt gets dirtier and dirtier and
\ndirtier. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:31:09,640 –> 00:31:13,840
\nAnd isn’t that the way man gets?
\nYou know, the longer he goes on,<\/p>\n

458
\n00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:17,480
\nhe just gets more and more
\ndisgusting. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:31:19,000 –> 00:31:22,040
\nThese people in the world that
\nthink that they’re, you know, <\/p>\n

460
\n00:31:22,040 –> 00:31:25,480
\nglorious in their appearance and
\nand they’re all macho, well, you<\/p>\n

461
\n00:31:25,480 –> 00:31:30,640
\nknow, in God’s eyes they look
\nlike that disgusting, grotesque.<\/p>\n

462
\n00:31:31,040 –> 00:31:33,880
\nThis is our nature, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:31:34,880 –> 00:31:38,080
\nHow are we spending our time?
\nDo we realize that this is what <\/p>\n

464
\n00:31:38,080 –> 00:31:40,480
\nwe really are?
\nAnd that apart from the <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:40,480 –> 00:31:44,760
\nsalvation of God that is offered
\nin Yahashua, there can be no <\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:44,760 –> 00:31:49,120
\nlife at all for us?
\nIt demonstrates man’s inevitable<\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:49,120 –> 00:31:55,080
\ndestiny.
\nSo we’ve come from there to <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:55,080 –> 00:31:58,280
\nthere in a very, very short
\ndistance. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:58,320 –> 00:32:01,520
\nLook at the water.
\nYou see why Naaman wanted no <\/p>\n

470
\n00:32:01,520 –> 00:32:03,520
\npart of it.
\nLook at that. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:32:04,320 –> 00:32:09,920
\nIt’s brown, it’s dirty.
\nAnd it was also brothers and <\/p>\n

472
\n00:32:09,920 –> 00:32:13,240
\nsisters in the days of the
\nprophets. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:32:13,960 –> 00:32:18,600
\nJordan, quite appropriately, was
\na very dangerous place. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:32:20,120 –> 00:32:22,520
\nYou know there’s references we
\nwon’t we won’t look at. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:32:22,520 –> 00:32:29,000
\nBut in Jeremiah chapter 49 and
\nverse 19, Jordan was noted for <\/p>\n

476
\n00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:33,520
\nhaving lions.
\nMatthew, Chapter 3 John the <\/p>\n

477
\n00:32:33,520 –> 00:32:36,000
\nBaptist was drawing on the
\nlanguage of the territory when <\/p>\n

478
\n00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:39,000
\nhe warned, O serpents and
\ngeneration of Vipers who has <\/p>\n

479
\n00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:40,960
\nwarned you to flee from the
\nwrath to come. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:32:41,360 –> 00:32:45,080
\nYou know, Jordan every year
\noverflowed its banks. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:49,360
\nIt overflows its banks all the
\ntime of harvest, we’re told, <\/p>\n

482
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:53,000
\nbecause the melting snows on
\nHermann when they melt in the <\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:53,000 –> 00:32:55,800
\nsummer, they they send that
\nwater cascading down the <\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:55,800 –> 00:33:00,600
\nmountain and it flows down the
\nriver Jordan and into the sea of<\/p>\n

485
\n00:33:00,600 –> 00:33:03,800
\nGalilee and then out the bottom
\nand it overflows its banks. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:33:03,800 –> 00:33:06,640
\nAnd of course you, if you’ve
\never seen a river overflow its <\/p>\n

487
\n00:33:06,640 –> 00:33:10,480
\nbanks and then recede, you’ll
\nsee that when it recedes, it <\/p>\n

488
\n00:33:10,480 –> 00:33:15,400
\nleaves behind all the mud and
\nall the debris and all this <\/p>\n

489
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:17,800
\nbracket.
\nAnd of course, what would happen<\/p>\n

490
\n00:33:17,800 –> 00:33:23,320
\nis as that began to dry, it
\nbecame a resting ground for <\/p>\n

491
\n00:33:23,320 –> 00:33:28,960
\nsnakes and for all sorts of
\nharmful creatures. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:33:30,120 –> 00:33:33,880
\nSo that in the books of the
\nprophets in Jeremiah and in <\/p>\n

493
\n00:33:33,880 –> 00:33:35,800
\nZechariah, they warn people
\nabout that. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:33:35,800 –> 00:33:38,720
\nJordan, you know, if you look
\ndown from the hills of Judea <\/p>\n

495
\n00:33:39,320 –> 00:33:42,440
\nupon Jordan, it looks like a a
\nvery, very nice place. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:33:43,360 –> 00:33:46,600
\nYou can see some green, you see
\nthe winding of the water all the<\/p>\n

497
\n00:33:46,600 –> 00:33:48,360
\nway through there, and it looks
\nlike a glorious place. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:48,360 –> 00:33:51,840
\nBut when you get down in there,
\nwhen you get bogged down in <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:51,840 –> 00:33:55,640
\nthere, it can become very, very
\ndifficult. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:56,360 –> 00:33:58,400
\nI’d like you to turn to that one
\nreference we have on the screen <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:58,400 –> 00:34:02,400
\nin Jeremiah chapter 12.
\nJeremiah chapter 12. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:34:04,720 –> 00:34:06,760
\nJeremiah had about a 40 year
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:34:08,159 –> 00:34:13,440
\nThe 1st 17 years or so was with
\nKing Josiah where Jeremiah had <\/p>\n

504
\n00:34:13,440 –> 00:34:16,480
\nroyal protection.
\nHe didn’t have to worry as much <\/p>\n

505
\n00:34:16,480 –> 00:34:22,199
\nabout persecution because as
\nlong as Josiah was king, he had <\/p>\n

506
\n00:34:22,199 –> 00:34:26,920
\nsome royal protection.
\nThen tragically, Josiah has <\/p>\n

507
\n00:34:26,920 –> 00:34:30,400
\ntaken him to death.
\nAnd Jeremiah 12, Jeremiah’s <\/p>\n

508
\n00:34:30,400 –> 00:34:33,480
\ncomplaining about his lot,
\ncomplaining about the evil <\/p>\n

509
\n00:34:33,480 –> 00:34:35,120
\ndoers.
\nYou know, for the 1st 23 years <\/p>\n

510
\n00:34:35,120 –> 00:34:39,000
\nof Jeremiah’s prophecy, not one
\nsingle prediction he made came <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:39,000 –> 00:34:42,320
\nto pass.
\nAnd he’s complaining in Jeremiah<\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:42,320 –> 00:34:47,080
\nchapter 12 about his lot
\nrighteous art thou, O Yahweh, <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:47,080 –> 00:34:51,560
\nJeremiah 12 verse one when I
\nplead with thee, yeah, let me <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:51,560 –> 00:34:55,520
\ntalk with thee of thy judgement.
\nYou see the margin for talk in <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:55,520 –> 00:34:59,200
\nverse one.
\nLet me reason the case with you.<\/p>\n

516
\n00:35:00,200 –> 00:35:03,000
\nThou hast planted them verse 2.
\nYet they have taken root. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:35:03,160 –> 00:35:05,400
\nYou know you’ve you’ve promised
\nthat all of these things are <\/p>\n

518
\n00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:07,280
\ngoing to come to pass upon these
\nevil doers. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:35:07,280 –> 00:35:11,920
\nYet they continue to take root.
\nThey continue to prosper. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:35:12,920 –> 00:35:15,160
\nPlease let something happen.
\nVerse 4. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:35:15,160 –> 00:35:18,720
\nHow long shall the land mourn?
\nAnd the herbs of every field, <\/p>\n

522
\n00:35:18,720 –> 00:35:21,040
\nwhether for the wickedness of
\nthem that dwell therein? <\/p>\n

523
\n00:35:21,120 –> 00:35:26,040
\nAnd he’s complaining with God
\nabout his law, and God responds <\/p>\n

524
\n00:35:26,040 –> 00:35:28,000
\nto his complaining.
\nAnd you know, this is so <\/p>\n

525
\n00:35:28,000 –> 00:35:30,320
\ndifferent, brothers and sisters,
\nto how we might respond in <\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:30,320 –> 00:35:32,320
\nnarclesias to someone who’s
\ncomplaining. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:33,600 –> 00:35:35,240
\nLook at what God says in verse
\n5. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:35,920 –> 00:35:40,080
\nIf thou hast run with the
\nfootmen, and they have wearied <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:40,080 –> 00:35:43,400
\nthee, how are you going to
\ncontend with horses? <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:44,720 –> 00:35:48,280
\nAnd if in the land of peace, if
\nin the days of Josiah you found <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:48,280 –> 00:35:52,760
\nit hard going wherein thou
\ntrustest they were thee, how are<\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:52,760 –> 00:35:55,240
\nyou going to get along in the
\nswelling of Jordan? <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:55,240 –> 00:35:59,480
\nIn other words, God’s telling
\nJeremiah here we’re just getting<\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:59,480 –> 00:36:02,680
\nstarted.
\nIf you think it’s difficult in <\/p>\n

535
\n00:36:02,680 –> 00:36:05,120
\nthe days of Josiah, when you
\nwere running on flat level <\/p>\n

536
\n00:36:05,120 –> 00:36:09,960
\nground, grow up your loins.
\nNow, Jeremiah, because we’re <\/p>\n

537
\n00:36:09,960 –> 00:36:13,440
\nrunning against horses, you’re
\ngoing down into the swelling of <\/p>\n

538
\n00:36:13,440 –> 00:36:17,280
\nJordan, where you’re running
\nagainst Jehoiachim and some evil<\/p>\n

539
\n00:36:17,280 –> 00:36:21,400
\nkings and some wicked Princess.
\nAnd you’ll see how the swelling <\/p>\n

540
\n00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:25,520
\nof Jordan is linked with
\nprobably some of the hardest <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:25,560 –> 00:36:27,680
\nexperiences that we could have
\nin our lives. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:27,680 –> 00:36:30,440
\nAnd that is when our own family
\nrebels against us. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:30,920 –> 00:36:35,120
\nVerse 6.
\nFor even thy brethren and the <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:35,120 –> 00:36:38,920
\nHouse of thy father, even they
\nthat have dwelt treacherously <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:38,920 –> 00:36:41,240
\nwith thee, yeah, they have
\ncalled a multitude after thee. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:41,840 –> 00:36:44,520
\nBelieve them not, though they
\nspeak fair words unto thee, <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:44,520 –> 00:36:50,000
\nbecause his own brethren now not
\njust the people in the ecclesia,<\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:52,800
\nhis own brethren now will be
\nfighting against them. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:52,800 –> 00:36:56,920
\nAnd how is that compared?
\nTo what analogy does God give <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:56,920 –> 00:36:58,040
\nJeremiah?
\nHe says it’s just like the <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:58,040 –> 00:37:03,160
\nswelling of Jordan.
\nJordan was a difficult place. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:37:03,400 –> 00:37:06,400
\nIt was a dangerous place.
\nIn the times of the prophet <\/p>\n

553
\n00:37:06,400 –> 00:37:07,960
\nthere were lions, there were
\nsnakes. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:37:08,120 –> 00:37:10,840
\nAnd Jeremiah, if you found it
\nhard running on flat level <\/p>\n

555
\n00:37:10,840 –> 00:37:14,520
\nground in the days of Josiah,
\nwhat’s going to happen when <\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:14,520 –> 00:37:18,400
\nJosiah is gone and you’re down
\nhere in the swelling of Jordan, <\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:19,960 –> 00:37:23,720
\nJordan ever stood, brothers and
\nsisters, for the flesh and all <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:23,720 –> 00:37:26,320
\nof its savagery and all of its
\ndifficulty? <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:27,640 –> 00:37:29,320
\nWhat’s going to redeem us from
\nthat? <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:31,520 –> 00:37:34,960
\nBecause this is where we’re
\ngoing eventually. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:34,960 –> 00:37:37,120
\nHere’s the River Jordans that
\ngoes into the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:38,400 –> 00:37:43,960
\nSo we’ve come from life, from
\nbeauty, all the way down now <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:45,400 –> 00:37:47,000
\ninto death.
\nIf you see on this little map <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:47,000 –> 00:37:49,120
\nhere, this is where this
\nphotograph is taken from right <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:49,120 –> 00:37:50,840
\nhere.
\nWe’ve come all the way from up <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:50,840 –> 00:37:54,000
\nhere.
\nMount hermon life, beauty. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:57,480
\nBut it’s come down and down and
\ndown, down this Serpentine <\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:57,480 –> 00:38:01,960
\ncourse until finally it goes
\ninto the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:38:01,960 –> 00:38:04,320
\nAnd when it goes into the Dead
\nSea it’s stagnating. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:38:04,480 –> 00:38:08,240
\nI think they even use machines
\nnow in some parts of the land to<\/p>\n

571
\n00:38:08,240 –> 00:38:11,320
\npush the water along because
\nit’s so difficult. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:38:13,160 –> 00:38:19,800
\nAnd this is man’s in down here
\nin the bottom having made its <\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:19,800 –> 00:38:22,080
\nway to the Dead Sea.
\nMan’s ultimate end is now <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:22,080 –> 00:38:26,600
\nrealized in death in the lowest
\nparts of the earth. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:26,600 –> 00:38:28,600
\nAnd that’s where we’re all
\ngoing, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:29,960 –> 00:38:33,200
\nWe all have to come to grips
\nwith that at some point that <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:36,080
\nthis is the reality of the
\nnature that we bear. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:37,400 –> 00:38:40,720
\nSo what’s going to deliver us
\nfrom that? <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:41,360 –> 00:38:44,680
\nWhat’s going to get us out of
\nthe waters of Jordan? <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:44,680 –> 00:38:47,320
\nGet us a cross into the promised
\nland? <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:49,120 –> 00:38:52,600
\nIf we come to Joshua Chapter 3,
\nwe’re told exactly what that is,<\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:53,120 –> 00:38:54,960
\nbecause we all know what
\nhappened in the days when the <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:54,960 –> 00:38:58,560
\nchildren of Israel crossed in
\nJoshua Chapter 3. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:38:58,560 –> 00:39:02,600
\nAnd this is part of why Joshua
\nwas magnified in the sight of <\/p>\n

585
\n00:39:02,600 –> 00:39:10,120
\nall Israel.
\nJoshua Chapter 3. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:39:10,120 –> 00:39:11,640
\nAnd this is when Jordan was in
\nflood. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:39:13,360 –> 00:39:15,000
\nOK.
\nIf you’ve seen photographs of <\/p>\n

588
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:18,600
\nJordan in flood, it’s it’s a lot
\nwider than it is in the pictures<\/p>\n

589
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:21,520
\nthat we just showed.
\nIn order for the people to get <\/p>\n

590
\n00:39:21,520 –> 00:39:26,120
\nacross that something had to
\nhappen, some miracle had to take<\/p>\n

591
\n00:39:26,120 –> 00:39:29,040
\nplace that that they might be
\nable to Passover into the <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:29,040 –> 00:39:30,920
\npromised land.
\nAnd we’re told about that in <\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:30,920 –> 00:39:35,400
\nJoshua chapter 3 and verse 14.
\nAnd it came to pass, when the <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:35,400 –> 00:39:38,240
\npeople removed from their tents
\nto Passover, Jordan and the <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:38,240 –> 00:39:40,840
\npriest bearing the ark of the
\ncovenant before the people. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:41,600 –> 00:39:44,280
\nAnd as they came to bear the
\nark, they were coming to Jordan.<\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:44,880 –> 00:39:47,920
\nAnd the feet of the priests that
\nbear the ark were dipped in the <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:47,920 –> 00:39:50,760
\nbrim of the water.
\nFor Jordan overfloweth all his <\/p>\n

599
\n00:39:50,760 –> 00:39:54,320
\nbanks, all the time of harvest,
\nthat the waters which came down <\/p>\n

600
\n00:39:54,320 –> 00:40:00,200
\nfrom above, so that would be
\nthese waters here, these waters <\/p>\n

601
\n00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:06,440
\nthat come down from above, stood
\nand rose up upon a heap very far<\/p>\n

602
\n00:40:06,440 –> 00:40:11,720
\nfrom the city of Adam.
\nSo as the Jordan River made its <\/p>\n

603
\n00:40:12,000 –> 00:40:19,040
\nway down into its shore, and
\ncertain death right in the <\/p>\n

604
\n00:40:19,040 –> 00:40:26,160
\nmiddle, appropriately there’s a
\ncity called Adam, from whence <\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:26,200 –> 00:40:32,960
\nall men have derived their
\nmortality By one man. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:32,960 –> 00:40:37,280
\nSin entered into the world, and
\ndeath by sin. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:37,280 –> 00:40:40,400
\nSo death passed upon all men
\nbecause all have sinned. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:40,640 –> 00:40:46,640
\nAnd there was a city here called
\nAdam, almost as if to explain <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:46,640 –> 00:40:51,040
\nthe reason why the Jordan is in
\nthe condition that it is in. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:51,920 –> 00:40:57,680
\nAnd it says there also in verse
\n16 that is beside Zaratan and <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:57,680 –> 00:41:00,120
\nthose that came down from the
\nsea of the plain. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:41:00,480 –> 00:41:04,200
\nThe word is Arabah.
\nSo the waters that came down <\/p>\n

613
\n00:41:04,200 –> 00:41:07,640
\nfrom the sea of Arabah, this
\nlittle line here is right about <\/p>\n

614
\n00:41:07,640 –> 00:41:09,040
\nwhere they were when they
\ncrossed. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:41:10,400 –> 00:41:13,200
\nSo the waters that came down
\nfrom the sea of the Arabah, the <\/p>\n

616
\n00:41:13,200 –> 00:41:17,720
\nDead Sea, they were cut off and
\nthe waters that came from above <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:24,960
\nwere pushed back beyond Adam to
\na place called in verse 16. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:41:24,960 –> 00:41:31,120
\nZaratan and Zaratan means
\ndistress, one of the effects of <\/p>\n

619
\n00:41:31,120 –> 00:41:34,200
\nour mortality.
\nThe waters were able to be <\/p>\n

620
\n00:41:34,200 –> 00:41:39,800
\npushed back beyond Adam.
\nNow what does the Ark of the <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:39,800 –> 00:41:43,320
\nCovenant represent?
\nHow did they transport the Ark <\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:43,320 –> 00:41:46,880
\nof the Covenant?
\nBy the way, what did they put <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:46,880 –> 00:41:50,600
\nover top of it?
\nWhen they transported it, they <\/p>\n

624
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:53,040
\nput the veil.
\nThat was how the Ark was <\/p>\n

625
\n00:41:53,040 –> 00:41:55,680
\ntransported.
\nThey put the veil over the ark <\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:55,680 –> 00:41:57,920
\nof the covenant.
\nSo as it would have gone over <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:57,920 –> 00:42:01,040
\nthe the dry stream of Jordan,
\nthe veil would have been draped <\/p>\n

628
\n00:42:01,040 –> 00:42:04,600
\nover the top of that ark.
\nNow that veil, Paul says in <\/p>\n

629
\n00:42:04,600 –> 00:42:09,720
\nHebrews chapter 10, represents
\nhis flesh, his flesh. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:42:10,000 –> 00:42:13,720
\nAnd so it’s by the death of our
\nLord Jesus Christ, and only by <\/p>\n

631
\n00:42:13,720 –> 00:42:17,960
\nthat, that the waters of Jordan,
\nwhich surely and certainly are <\/p>\n

632
\n00:42:17,960 –> 00:42:23,080
\nheading down into death, can be
\npushed back beyond Adam, back <\/p>\n

633
\n00:42:23,080 –> 00:42:27,120
\nbeyond our current distress, so
\nthat we can be changed for the <\/p>\n

634
\n00:42:27,120 –> 00:42:30,480
\nKingdom of God.
\nAnd apart from any sort of <\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:30,480 –> 00:42:33,880
\nidentification with our High
\nPriest. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:34,280 –> 00:42:37,440
\nThe sure and certain sentence of
\ndeath could never be reversed. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:42:37,680 –> 00:42:40,840
\nBut the Lord Jesus Christ,
\nthrough his sacrifice, has the <\/p>\n

638
\n00:42:40,840 –> 00:42:46,240
\nability to drive those waters
\nback beyond Adam and change us <\/p>\n

639
\n00:42:46,240 –> 00:42:50,280
\nfor the Kingdom of God so that
\nthen we can Passover, as the <\/p>\n

640
\n00:42:50,280 –> 00:42:55,040
\npeople did in verse 17, onto dry
\nland, into the Promised land, <\/p>\n

641
\n00:42:55,280 –> 00:43:00,960
\nand into immortality itself.
\nIt’s marvelous, brothers and <\/p>\n

642
\n00:43:00,960 –> 00:43:04,320
\nsisters, how the land is able to
\ndemonstrate some of these <\/p>\n

643
\n00:43:04,320 –> 00:43:07,880
\nglorious lessons, lessons that
\nwe all know to be true. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:43:08,600 –> 00:43:10,920
\nWe all know the principle that
\nman is mortal, but the land and <\/p>\n

645
\n00:43:11,520 –> 00:43:17,600
\nits pictures and its geography
\nis there to remind us of our <\/p>\n

646
\n00:43:17,600 –> 00:43:20,040
\ncondition.
\nLet us never think that time <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:20,040 –> 00:43:22,760
\nwill just go on and on.
\nIf we’ve got things that we need<\/p>\n

648
\n00:43:22,760 –> 00:43:27,400
\nto do in the truth, let’s not
\nsay well, we’ll do this When <\/p>\n

649
\n00:43:27,400 –> 00:43:30,600
\ncircumstances look right to us,
\nthey may never look right to us.<\/p>\n

650
\n00:43:31,040 –> 00:43:34,440
\nThis is our end.
\nIt’s by coming to grips with <\/p>\n

651
\n00:43:34,440 –> 00:43:37,520
\nthat, that you use your time
\nwisely, that you don’t waste <\/p>\n

652
\n00:43:37,520 –> 00:43:39,720
\ntime, that you feel
\nuncomfortable when you are <\/p>\n

653
\n00:43:39,720 –> 00:43:44,400
\nwasting time, and the waters of
\nJordan remind us of that. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:43:44,760 –> 00:43:47,320
\nIn conclusion, let’s just look
\nat one other case that happened <\/p>\n

655
\n00:43:47,320 –> 00:43:53,200
\nat the Jordan Second Kings
\nChapter 6, and this is <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:54,320 –> 00:43:57,200
\nappropriately, with Elijah, the
\nman of God. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:57,280 –> 00:44:01,480
\nSo we’ve seen the three men,
\nJoshua, the waters were driven <\/p>\n

658
\n00:44:02,800 –> 00:44:07,640
\nbeyond Adam, back towards
\nHermann where Manch was meant to<\/p>\n

659
\n00:44:07,640 –> 00:44:11,360
\nbe in the beginning.
\nAnd now we see a case with <\/p>\n

660
\n00:44:11,360 –> 00:44:13,080
\nElijah.
\nYou know, Elijah had an event <\/p>\n

661
\n00:44:13,720 –> 00:44:17,640
\nthat happened at the river
\nJordan too, when his servants <\/p>\n

662
\n00:44:17,640 –> 00:44:20,800
\nwere cutting down trees.
\nThe sons of the prophets, the <\/p>\n

663
\n00:44:20,800 –> 00:44:23,800
\necclesia of the day, was
\nbeginning to expand, and they <\/p>\n

664
\n00:44:23,800 –> 00:44:25,640
\nhad to make extra accommodation
\nfor them. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:44:25,640 –> 00:44:27,640
\nSo they had to go down to the
\nJordan, and they had to cut down<\/p>\n

666
\n00:44:27,640 –> 00:44:32,880
\nsome trees.
\nAnd 2nd Kings, chapter six, we <\/p>\n

667
\n00:44:32,880 –> 00:44:36,280
\nread in verse one the sons of
\nthe prophets sent unto Elijah. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:44:36,280 –> 00:44:39,160
\nBehold now the place where we
\ndwell with these two straight <\/p>\n

669
\n00:44:39,160 –> 00:44:42,080
\nfor us, the halls too small.
\nLet us go. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:42,080 –> 00:44:46,120
\nWe pray thee unto Jordan, and
\ntake thence every man a beam, <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:46,520 –> 00:44:48,760
\nand let us make us a place there
\nwhere we may dwell. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:44:49,160 –> 00:44:55,520
\nAnd he said, Gogi verse five,
\nthey begin to cut down the wood <\/p>\n

673
\n00:44:56,360 –> 00:45:01,640
\nand says, But as one was felling
\na beam the axe head fell into <\/p>\n

674
\n00:45:01,640 –> 00:45:04,320
\nthe water and he cried.
\nAlas, master, if it was borrowed<\/p>\n

675
\n00:45:05,880 –> 00:45:08,200
\nand Elijah says, well where did
\nit fall? <\/p>\n

676
\n00:45:09,640 –> 00:45:12,200
\nHe showed him the place and he
\ncut down. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:45:12,200 –> 00:45:15,920
\nThat is Elijah cut down a stick
\nand cast it into there. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:45:15,920 –> 00:45:20,160
\nAnd the iron did swim, therefore
\nsaid he take it up to thee, and <\/p>\n

679
\n00:45:20,160 –> 00:45:21,480
\nhe put it in his hand and he
\ntook it. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:45:21,480 –> 00:45:23,320
\nNow, if you ever wondered,
\nbrothers and sisters, what that <\/p>\n

681
\n00:45:23,320 –> 00:45:27,840
\nstory is all about, this man is
\njust out, you know, cutting down<\/p>\n

682
\n00:45:27,840 –> 00:45:32,520
\nwood, and the axe head flies off
\nand it lands in the Jordan and <\/p>\n

683
\n00:45:32,520 –> 00:45:34,840
\nit’s lost.
\nYou know, looking at that water,<\/p>\n

684
\n00:45:35,400 –> 00:45:37,560
\nit’s understandable why he
\ncouldn’t find it. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:45:38,720 –> 00:45:41,360
\nSo what does that represent?
\nWhat does the Jordan represent? <\/p>\n

686
\n00:45:41,360 –> 00:45:42,840
\nWell, the Jordan represents,
\ndoesn’t it? <\/p>\n

687
\n00:45:42,840 –> 00:45:47,280
\nThe flesh in all its ugliness,
\nin all its grotesqueness. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:45:47,560 –> 00:45:52,800
\nAnd it’s Elisha, the man of God
\nwho was able to recover that <\/p>\n

689
\n00:45:52,800 –> 00:45:58,440
\nwhich was lost in the Jordan.
\nThose people that are lost in <\/p>\n

690
\n00:45:58,440 –> 00:46:03,240
\nthe world are able to be
\nrecovered by the influence of <\/p>\n

691
\n00:46:03,240 –> 00:46:06,920
\nElijah, the man of God.
\nNow the word that we want to <\/p>\n

692
\n00:46:06,920 –> 00:46:12,520
\nfocus on is Word.
\nIn verse 6, when he’d been shown<\/p>\n

693
\n00:46:12,520 –> 00:46:15,760
\nthe place, it says that he cut
\ndown a stick. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:46:15,760 –> 00:46:18,320
\nNow that word there stick.
\nIt’s probably one of the only <\/p>\n

695
\n00:46:18,320 –> 00:46:23,920
\ntimes where this word is
\nrendered by that phrase stick. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:46:24,800 –> 00:46:29,520
\nWhat’s the very word that’s used
\nthroughout the law for the word <\/p>\n

697
\n00:46:29,800 –> 00:46:32,880
\ntree?
\nAnd it’s the word used, for <\/p>\n

698
\n00:46:32,880 –> 00:46:36,000
\ninstance, in Deuteronomy where
\nit says cursed is everyone that <\/p>\n

699
\n00:46:36,000 –> 00:46:43,120
\nhangeth on a tree.
\nSo it’s by the Lord’s sacrifice,<\/p>\n

700
\n00:46:43,560 –> 00:46:47,200
\nby identifying ourselves with
\nthe Lord’s offering upon the <\/p>\n

701
\n00:46:47,200 –> 00:46:50,760
\ntree that that which is lost is
\nable to be recovered. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:46:50,760 –> 00:46:53,720
\nAnd you know, the reaction of
\nthis man as Elijah shows him <\/p>\n

703
\n00:46:53,720 –> 00:46:56,000
\nwhere it is in the water, has
\ngot to be ours. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:46:56,000 –> 00:46:58,360
\nIt says, verse 7, take it up to
\nthee. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:46:58,800 –> 00:47:02,080
\nAnd he put out his hand and he
\ntook it. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:47:04,800 –> 00:47:07,720
\nThe redemption that the Lord
\nJesus Christ has offered us, we <\/p>\n

707
\n00:47:07,720 –> 00:47:10,200
\ndon’t deserve.
\nWe’ve we’ve lost it in the <\/p>\n

708
\n00:47:10,200 –> 00:47:13,680
\nJordan.
\nIt’s been borrowed, but it’s <\/p>\n

709
\n00:47:13,680 –> 00:47:16,640
\nthrough the work of the Lord
\nJesus Christ in his offering <\/p>\n

710
\n00:47:18,840 –> 00:47:23,320
\nthat we can be recovered.
\nAnd our reaction is to reach out<\/p>\n

711
\n00:47:23,320 –> 00:47:27,320
\nand take it, to take hold of it
\nand grasp hold of it and never <\/p>\n

712
\n00:47:27,320 –> 00:47:30,400
\nlet it go.
\nBecause it’s the only way that <\/p>\n

713
\n00:47:30,400 –> 00:47:35,240
\nwe’ll ever get across that
\nJordan, the brothers and <\/p>\n

714
\n00:47:35,240 –> 00:47:40,960
\nsisters, our consideration of
\nthe land is not yet complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
