Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 306.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,640 –> 00:00:08,840
\nOur speaker for this session is
\nBrother Jason Hensley from the <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,840 –> 00:00:12,960
\nSimi Hills, California Ecclesia.
\nHis theme this week is the <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:12,960 –> 00:00:16,480
\nGospel of Peace.
\nThis is his third class and the <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,480 –> 00:00:19,840
\nsubject for this class is peace
\nand unity. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:20,000 –> 00:00:30,000
\nBrother Jason.
\nWell, good morning, everyone. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:31,680 –> 00:00:33,440
\nI hope that you’re feeling.
\nWhoa, look at this. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:40,160
\nThis is a OK, there we go.
\nI hope that. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:40,160 –> 00:00:42,800
\nYou’re feeling good.
\nI am really excited about class <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:42,800 –> 00:00:46,960
\n#3 because this is the class
\nthat started it all. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:47,440 –> 00:00:49,720
\nSo interestingly enough, it ends
\nup in the middle of the series. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:49,720 –> 00:00:53,320
\nBut this is the one that that
\nreally got me thinking because I<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:53,320 –> 00:00:56,040
\nstarted to recognize in, in
\ngoing through scripture that <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:56,040 –> 00:00:59,680
\nthere was this difference, this
\ndistinction between peace and <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:59,680 –> 00:01:02,080
\nunity.
\nAnd that’s what really got me on<\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:02,080 –> 00:01:04,640
\nthis subject of peace, because I
\nhad always thought of them as <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,000
\nthe same thing.
\nAnd yet looking at this, it was <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:15,840
\nfascinating to see that peace is
\ncommanded and unity is the <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:19,760
\nideal.
\nSo in other words, you have to <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:19,760 –> 00:01:23,800
\nhave peace, but you might not
\nalways be able to achieve unity.<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:24,640 –> 00:01:26,040
\nSo I, I found that very
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:27,320 –> 00:01:31,080
\nOK, here’s our here’s our plan.
\nWe’re going to talk about Israel<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:31,080 –> 00:01:33,640
\nand Judah and you perhaps heard
\nconsiderations of Jehoshaphat <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:33,640 –> 00:01:36,360
\nand Hezekiah before.
\nWe are going to talk about that,<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:36,360 –> 00:01:40,320
\nbut it’s going to be a little
\ndifferent than than ways that <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:42,680
\nmaybe you’ve heard it done
\nbefore and also ways that I did <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:42,680 –> 00:01:44,960
\nit before.
\nThere’s a lot of context that I <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:44,960 –> 00:01:46,600
\nthink we need to build up as we
\nlook at this story. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:46,600 –> 00:01:48,200
\nSo we’re going to try and
\nunderstand it from that <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:48,200 –> 00:01:50,000
\nperspective.
\nWe’re going to talk about then <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:54,120
\nwhat is unity biblically and
\nthen how does unity differ from <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:59,160
\npeace?
\nThe main message now let’s <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:59,160 –> 00:02:05,400
\nreview ready before this one,
\nour first core message was peace<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:05,400 –> 00:02:06,400
\nmatters.
\nThat’s right. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:06,640 –> 00:02:09,039
\nAnd OK, yesterday’s was harder.
\nI recognize that. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:09,039 –> 00:02:10,240
\nSo I made this one a little
\neasier. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:10,639 –> 00:02:12,680
\nSo do you remember it was 6
\nwords. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:17,320
\nAll the shades of peace are
\ninterconnected. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:17,320 –> 00:02:19,280
\nThat’s oh, I see some of you
\nguys wrote it down. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:19,280 –> 00:02:21,800
\nThat was good, good thinking.
\nYep, Yep. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:21,880 –> 00:02:25,120
\nGood.
\nOK, well, today’s is only three <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:25,120 –> 00:02:28,880
\nwords.
\nAll right, So this is I think <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:33,640
\nour key idea that comes out of
\nthis class, peace is universal. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:34,480 –> 00:02:39,080
\nNow, again, this is so important
\nin recognizing the distinction <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:39,080 –> 00:02:41,600
\nbetween peace and unity,
\nbecause. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:41,800 –> 00:02:43,840
\nThere are a lot.
\nOf people that we can’t be <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:43,840 –> 00:02:46,760
\nunified with.
\nThere are a lot of world views <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:46,760 –> 00:02:52,000
\nthat we can’t be unified with,
\nbut we can still act peacefully <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:54,920
\ntowards those people and I think
\nthat is the crucial thing, <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:55,080 –> 00:02:55,880
\nright?
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:56,160 –> 00:02:58,000
\nAnd some of some of you have
\ncome up to me and asked about <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:01,240
\nthis and you said, look like,
\nyou know, I can’t, I can’t agree<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:01,240 –> 00:03:03,360
\nwith the way that people are
\ndoing things and I have to say <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:03,360 –> 00:03:05,120
\nthings about that.
\nAnd I agree. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:05,920 –> 00:03:08,480
\nThat’s that’s great.
\nSay things about it, but say. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:08,480 –> 00:03:10,200
\nIt in a nice way.
\nRight, you can’t. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:10,280 –> 00:03:12,600
\nYou know, you don’t have to come
\nup and just just think about it <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:12,600 –> 00:03:16,200
\nlike when.
\nThis is This is. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:16,440 –> 00:03:19,840
\nFor me at least, how this goes
\nwhen you get upset with your <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:23,680
\nchildren or with somebody else
\nand you scream and wave your <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:26,080
\narms around, right?
\nNot that I’ve ever done that. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:26,560 –> 00:03:30,840
\nBut when you do that, think
\nabout where your effectiveness <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:30,840 –> 00:03:32,720
\ngoes on the effectiveness scale,
\nright? <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:36,400
\nAll of a sudden you’re like down
\nat the bottom and and nobody <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:38,160
\nwants to hear what you say,
\nincluding your children who <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:38,160 –> 00:03:42,920
\nmight like run away screaming.
\nOK, So like, that just doesn’t <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:45,400
\nwork, right?
\nWe can very much disagree with <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:45,400 –> 00:03:50,840
\nsomebody, but we don’t have to
\ndo it in an unhinged kind of <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:50,840 –> 00:03:53,000
\nway.
\nAnd I think that that’s the key <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:56,440
\nthing.
\nWe can say, I believe that what <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:56,440 –> 00:03:59,760
\nyou’re doing is wrong and here’s
\nwhy I think that, right? <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:03,040
\nWe can say, no, these are my
\nprinciples and I will not move <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:03,040 –> 00:04:06,000
\nfrom those principles, but we
\ncan do that peacefully. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:06,240 –> 00:04:08,160
\nAnd I think that’s an important
\nthing to recognize. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:08,160 –> 00:04:10,720
\nThat’s really the key.
\nAnd so that’s why Paul can <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:10,720 –> 00:04:15,600
\ncommand live at peace with
\neveryone because it’s something <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:15,600 –> 00:04:18,040
\nthat is achievable.
\nIt is something that we can do <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:18,320 –> 00:04:21,079
\nis a choice that we can make.
\nSo peace is universal. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:24,240
\nOur why question here.
\nThis is something to just kind <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:24,240 –> 00:04:26,440
\nof chew on for right now,
\nalthough I’ll sort of answer it <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:26,440 –> 00:04:29,240
\nright after we look at it says
\nwhy was Jehoshaphat condemned <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:29,240 –> 00:04:32,120
\nfor his peace with Ahab?
\nJust think about that for a <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:32,120 –> 00:04:38,160
\nlittle bit.
\nAnd the answer is this is <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:38,160 –> 00:04:43,200
\nactually a trick question
\nbecause Jehoshaphat never was <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:44,600
\ncondemned for his peace with
\nAhab. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:45,960 –> 00:04:50,240
\nHe was condemned for his unity
\nwith Ahab. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:57,240
\nNow that’s where for me, this
\nwas such a big deal. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:58,080 –> 00:05:00,480
\nJehoshaphat was supposed to be
\nat peace with Ahab. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:01,160 –> 00:05:03,600
\nAnd I’m going to try and put
\nthat together, create that <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:03,600 –> 00:05:05,640
\ncontext.
\nHe was supposed to have peace <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:05,640 –> 00:05:07,880
\nwith Ahab.
\nEven though Ahab is described as<\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:08,720 –> 00:05:12,720
\none who hates Yahweh, right?
\nHe was still supposed to be at <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:15,920
\npeace with him.
\nHe was not supposed to be <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:15,920 –> 00:05:18,960
\nunified with him.
\nAnd in fact, I, I would suggest <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:18,960 –> 00:05:21,200
\nto you, he couldn’t be unified
\nwith him, right? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:24,680
\nHe tries really hard to be
\nunified, but he can’t be. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:30,080
\nOK, So let’s take a look.
\nLet’s just go through. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:30,280 –> 00:05:32,560
\nI, I know that you know this,
\nbut we’re going to go through <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:32,560 –> 00:05:34,760
\nand we’re going to take a look
\nat it just to make sure that we <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:34,760 –> 00:05:37,640
\nhave our context built up.
\nSo let’s think a little bit <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:37,640 –> 00:05:40,280
\nabout the relationship between
\nIsrael and Judah. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:40,760 –> 00:05:43,880
\nSo you have Israel in the north
\nand Judah in the South. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:47,040
\nAnd so the question that I want
\nto have really prompt us as we <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:47,040 –> 00:05:51,080
\ngo through this is what kind of
\nrelationship were these two <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:51,080 –> 00:05:54,480
\nnations supposed to have?
\nYou know, when I put together <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:54,480 –> 00:05:58,320
\nthis class, that was the first
\ntime I had ever asked that we <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:58,320 –> 00:06:00,240
\nread the history.
\nAnd I think we just kind of take<\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:03,360
\nthe history for granted that
\nthis is what God was doing. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:06,520
\nHe devised the nation’s one
\nnation is good, one nation’s <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:06,520 –> 00:06:07,720
\nbad.
\nAt least you know for the most <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:07,720 –> 00:06:11,040
\npart, one nation’s good, and
\nwell, the good one is supposed <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:11,040 –> 00:06:14,280
\nto attack the bad one, or
\nsomething along those lines. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:16,200
\nBut I think it’s better for us
\nto step. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:19,840
\nBack and ask well.
\nActually, biblically, what did <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:19,840 –> 00:06:23,920
\nGod intend?
\nWhat kind of relationship did he<\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:24,040 –> 00:06:27,720
\nforesee or want to see between
\nthe two nations? <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:30,080
\nDid he want to see them warring
\none another? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:31,960 –> 00:06:34,640
\nWe might be tempted to say,
\nwell, you know, you look at <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:34,640 –> 00:06:37,280
\nDeuteronomy 13, right?
\nYour brother comes and says, <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:37,280 –> 00:06:39,440
\nhey, let’s go worship idols.
\nYou’re supposed to stone him. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:40,160 –> 00:06:43,280
\nSo we might be tempted to say,
\nwell, yeah, like God intends for<\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:43,280 –> 00:06:45,320
\nJudah to go wipe out Israel.
\nAnd yet I think we’re going to <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:45,320 –> 00:06:46,360
\nsee something a little bit
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:50,760
\nSo let’s take a look.
\nAnd consider this story. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:50,760 –> 00:06:53,200
\nIt’s first Kings 11.
\nIf you want to follow along, <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:53,200 –> 00:06:55,440
\nI’ll tell you the story.
\nYou’re likely familiar with it. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:56,200 –> 00:06:59,640
\nThis is this is that.
\nInstant in which Jeroboam? <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:00,320 –> 00:07:04,320
\nSo the one who will become king
\nof Israel, right? <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:04,640 –> 00:07:06,640
\nThat’s always one of those hard
\nthings to kind of figure out <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:06,960 –> 00:07:09,080
\nwhich one was Jeroboam and which
\none was Rioboam. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:09,440 –> 00:07:11,360
\nWell, it’s alphabetical.
\nIt’s in alphabetical order, by <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:11,360 –> 00:07:13,920
\nthe way, case that helps you.
\nI always try and have all these <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:13,920 –> 00:07:15,400
\nfunny little things to help me
\nremember stuff. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:15,680 –> 00:07:18,920
\nSo Jeroboam was in the north,
\nright And then Rio Boehm are in <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:18,920 –> 00:07:20,880
\nthe South.
\nSo that’s alphabetical also just<\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:20,880 –> 00:07:23,480
\nlike Israel and Judah.
\nSo interesting. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:24,440 –> 00:07:26,440
\nJeroboam is working for Solomon,
\nright? <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:27,840 –> 00:07:31,200
\nHe was some kind of head of
\nSolomon’s building team, <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:34,000
\nsomething along those lines.
\nHe seems to take part in helping<\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:36,120
\nbuild the temple building,
\nSolomon’s house. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:39,160
\nHe happens to be in a field.
\nWe don’t know exactly what he’s <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:39,160 –> 00:07:42,000
\ndoing at this point, but he’s
\nhead of Solomon’s workforce. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:42,640 –> 00:07:47,320
\nHe’s wearing a new coat,
\nstrangely enough, and we don’t <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:47,520 –> 00:07:49,560
\nknow why exactly.
\nHe does it this way. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:49,960 –> 00:07:53,960
\nA high edge of the prophet walks
\nup to Jeroboam and his swanky <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:53,960 –> 00:08:00,200
\nnew jacket and tears it off of
\nhis back and begins to then tear<\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:00,200 –> 00:08:03,800
\nit into little pieces.
\nYou can imagine Jeroboam, right?<\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:04,120 –> 00:08:05,800
\nThat’s I I felt.
\nLike that was a pretty good <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:05,800 –> 00:08:08,880
\nexpression.
\nHe he looks at a high jet, <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:11,720
\nthinking.
\nWhat are you doing to my coat? <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:11,920 –> 00:08:13,680
\nYou know, I I like it, it was
\nnice. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:13,920 –> 00:08:17,160
\nSo Ahaija tears it up and he
\nsays, well don’t worry, here you<\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:17,160 –> 00:08:19,160
\ngo, you can have these 10.
\nPieces of it. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:24,520
\nSo he gives Jeroboam the 10
\npieces of his coat and he then <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:24,520 –> 00:08:27,480
\nproceeds to give Jeroboam a
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:27,840 –> 00:08:32,960
\nHe says Yahweh has torn, right?
\nYou get it torn. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:33,640 –> 00:08:35,600
\nOK, so maybe that was the
\njustification. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:35,799 –> 00:08:41,320
\nYahweh has torn the Kingdom from
\nthe hand of Solomon and is now <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:41,320 –> 00:08:45,200
\ngiving 10 tribes to you.
\nRight now. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:46,440 –> 00:08:49,320
\nThis is the prophecy of a Haija.
\nYou’ll see it there on the <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:49,320 –> 00:08:51,840
\nscreen.
\nJust take a look and you will <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:51,840 –> 00:08:55,160
\nnotice that I have underlined a
\nnumber of statements. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:55,840 –> 00:08:57,520
\nLook for what these statements
\nhave in common. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:58,360 –> 00:09:00,080
\nIt’s first Kings 11 verses 31 to
\n30. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:00,080 –> 00:09:02,600
\nSix, it says.
\nSee, I am going to tear the <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:04,600
\nKingdom out of Solomon’s hand.
\nThis is God speaking through a <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:08,040
\nhaija and give you 10 tribes.
\nBut for the sake of my servant <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:08,040 –> 00:09:10,160
\nDavid in the city of Jerusalem,
\nwhich I have chosen, out of all <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:12,760
\nthe tribes of Israel, he will
\nhave one tribe. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:15,720
\nI will do this because they have
\nforsaken me and worshipped <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:15,840 –> 00:09:18,560
\nAsteroth, the goddess of the
\nCydonians, Chimosh the God of <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:18,560 –> 00:09:21,760
\nthe Moabites, Molech the God of
\nthe Ammonites, and have not <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:21,800 –> 00:09:24,760
\nwalked in obedience to me, nor
\ndone what is right in my eyes, <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:24,920 –> 00:09:28,360
\nnor kept my decrees and laws as
\nDavid, Solomon’s father, did. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:31,440
\nBut I will not take the whole
\nKingdom out of Solomon’s hand. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:31,920 –> 00:09:34,960
\nI have made him ruler.
\nI should have underlined that <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:34,960 –> 00:09:36,760
\none too.
\nI have made him ruler all the <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:36,760 –> 00:09:40,200
\ndays of his life for the sake of
\nDavid, my servant, whom I chose.<\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:43,160
\nI missed another who obeyed my
\ncommands and decrees. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:43,560 –> 00:09:45,800
\nI will take the.
\nKingdom from his son’s hands and<\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:45,800 –> 00:09:48,680
\ngive you 10 tribes.
\nI will give one tribe to his <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:48,680 –> 00:09:51,200
\nson.
\nOK do you notice what they all <\/p>\n
183
\n00:09:51,200 –> 00:09:56,200
\nhave in common.
\nThese are all of God’s I will do<\/p>\n
184
\n00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:58,240
\nthis statements.
\nNow, some of them you might say,<\/p>\n
185
\n00:09:58,240 –> 00:10:00,320
\nbut they don’t have I.
\nAgain, this is one of those <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:00,320 –> 00:10:02,680
\nunfortunate translation pieces
\nof the NIV. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:04,440
\nIt’s great to read like when
\nyou’re doing the readings, but <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:04,440 –> 00:10:07,200
\nstudy makes it a little harder.
\nEverything that I underlined <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:09,400
\nhere is what we call a first
\nperson verb. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:09,920 –> 00:10:12,200
\nI am going to do this.
\nI’m going to do this. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,040
\nSo this is.
\nGod saying I am the one who is <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:16,040 –> 00:10:17,760
\ncausing all these things now, I
\nthink. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:17,760 –> 00:10:19,560
\nThat, that’s fascinating.
\nBy the way. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:19,880 –> 00:10:22,640
\nJust in terms of what we’re
\nlooking at, because remember, <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:22,640 –> 00:10:24,600
\nwe’re talking about peace and
\nunity. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:25,320 –> 00:10:29,800
\nSo does God expect there to be
\npeace between the nations? <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:30,760 –> 00:10:32,040
\nI’m going to.
\nSuggest to you based on what <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:32,040 –> 00:10:34,840
\nwe’re going to look at, yes.
\nDoes. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:34,840 –> 00:10:38,240
\nGod expect there to be unity.
\nNo, there can’t be, right? <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:41,680
\nHe’s clearly saying.
\nI’m making disunity, which is. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:41,680 –> 00:10:46,400
\nVery interesting, right.
\nSo he expects peace, but he <\/p>\n
202
\n00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:50,920
\ndoesn’t expect unity.
\nOK, so that’s. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:10:50,920 –> 00:10:53,040
\nJust an interesting thing to
\nkind of take out of this. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:10:53,440 –> 00:10:54,800
\nGod.
\nIs the one who is doing it and <\/p>\n
205
\n00:10:54,800 –> 00:10:57,840
\nGod is the one who is creating
\nthe disunity in this instance. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:10:59,280 –> 00:11:03,080
\nNow, as we read this next
\nportion of the prophecy, just. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:03,080 –> 00:11:05,760
\nThink about what this might.
\nRemind you of? <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:07,000 –> 00:11:08,440
\nBecause.
\nI think this is based on <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:08,440 –> 00:11:09,960
\nsomething else that we’ve heard
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:10,840 –> 00:11:12,160
\nSo.
\nHaija continues. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:12,360 –> 00:11:13,880
\nGod is doing all these different
\nthings. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:13,880 –> 00:11:16,680
\nGod is the one who’s going to
\ncreate the disunity, Haija then <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:16,680 –> 00:11:21,680
\nsays verses 37 and 38.
\nHowever, As for you, I will take<\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:21,680 –> 00:11:23,600
\nyou.
\nAnd you will rule over. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:26,000
\nAll that your heart desires.
\nYou will. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:27,920
\nBe king over Israel.
\nIf you. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:27,920 –> 00:11:31,920
\nDo whatever I command you and
\nwalk in obedience to me and do <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:31,920 –> 00:11:35,120
\nwhat is right in my eyes by
\nobeying my decrees and commands <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:35,120 –> 00:11:37,640
\nas David, my servant did.
\nI will be with you. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:38,080 –> 00:11:40,480
\nI will build you a dynasty as
\nenduring as the one I built for <\/p>\n
221
\n00:11:40,480 –> 00:11:42,720
\nDavid and will give Israel to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:11:43,160 –> 00:11:44,520
\nDoes this remind you of anything
\nelse? <\/p>\n
223
\n00:11:45,560 –> 00:11:47,360
\nThis.
\nSounds like a previous set of <\/p>\n
224
\n00:11:47,360 –> 00:11:51,320
\npromises known as the promises
\nto David. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:11:51,960 –> 00:11:54,120
\nI mean, he, he makes it very
\nclear, right? <\/p>\n
226
\n00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:56,120
\nIf.
\nYou act like David. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:11:56,320 –> 00:11:58,440
\nI will be with you.
\nThis is what he had promised to <\/p>\n
228
\n00:11:58,440 –> 00:11:59,400
\nDavid.
\nI will be with you. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:11:59,640 –> 00:12:02,360
\nBut it’s also the same thing
\nthat he promised to Abraham, <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:04,040
\nIsaac, Jacob.
\nI will be with you. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:07,200
\nThat’s the whole Echia I share
\nEchia kind of thing, right? <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:07,640 –> 00:12:09,920
\nI will be with you.
\nI. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:12,080
\nWill build you a dynasty as
\nenduring as the one I built for <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:12,080 –> 00:12:14,160
\nDavid.
\nNow, it’s not the promises to <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:14,160 –> 00:12:18,240
\nDavid, but he’s essentially
\nsaying I’m going to give those <\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:18,240 –> 00:12:21,440
\nsame promises to you.
\nLike I’m offering that to you, <\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:21,800 –> 00:12:22,760
\nright?
\nAt. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:12:22,760 –> 00:12:27,000
\nLeast as far as having a shore
\ndynasty, right, Having a shore <\/p>\n
239
\n00:12:27,000 –> 00:12:30,040
\nhouse so you can see connections
\nto the promises to David. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:30,040 –> 00:12:33,120
\nAnd the reason I bring this up
\nis, weirdly enough, right. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:12:33,120 –> 00:12:35,560
\nWe’re supposed to I, I think one
\nof the keys of Bible study. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:12:35,720 –> 00:12:37,440
\nIs we should.
\nAlways be looking for the Lord <\/p>\n
243
\n00:12:37,440 –> 00:12:41,080
\nJesus in everything right?
\nHe’s on every page all over the <\/p>\n
244
\n00:12:41,080 –> 00:12:43,480
\nplace.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:12:43,480 –> 00:12:46,480
\nWeirdly enough, when you start
\nto look at this, I want to <\/p>\n
246
\n00:12:46,480 –> 00:12:50,160
\nsuggest to you that you can
\nactually see Jeroboam in this <\/p>\n
247
\n00:12:50,160 –> 00:12:52,760
\nstage.
\nOK, note that very carefully in <\/p>\n
248
\n00:12:52,760 –> 00:12:56,920
\nthis stage, not other times, but
\nin this stage, I think we can <\/p>\n
249
\n00:12:56,920 –> 00:12:59,560
\nsee Jeroboam as a type of the
\nLord Jesus. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:01,640 –> 00:13:04,200
\nHe is.
\nChosen specifically by God to <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:05,920
\nsave Israel.
\nRight, not. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:05,920 –> 00:13:09,080
\nJust chosen by God, but chosen
\nwith the mission of saving the <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:09,080 –> 00:13:10,760
\npeople.
\nSo you see. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:10,760 –> 00:13:13,960
\nThe same thing in Matthew 121.
\nJoseph is told. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:14,440 –> 00:13:16,320
\nHe.
\nWill save his people from their <\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:20,120
\nsins.
\nJeroboam was given the promises <\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:20,120 –> 00:13:21,480
\nof a shore house, just like
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:22,240 –> 00:13:23,440
\nAnd.
\nWe know in Luke chapter one the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:13:23,440 –> 00:13:25,400
\nLord Jesus is given those
\npromises to David. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:30,080
\nJeroboam then is chased by
\nSolomon because Solomon wants to<\/p>\n
261
\n00:13:30,080 –> 00:13:31,640
\nkill him.
\nWhere does? <\/p>\n
262
\n00:13:31,640 –> 00:13:33,480
\nHe go, huh?
\nEgypt and. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:13:35,280 –> 00:13:36,680
\nHe comes back after the King’s
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:13:38,680 –> 00:13:40,680
\nSame thing with the Lord Jesus
\nin Matthew chapter one. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:43,200
\nHe then serves as a mediator for
\nthe people. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:13:43,200 –> 00:13:45,400
\nYou remember the whole story
\nwhere the people go to Rio Boehm<\/p>\n
267
\n00:13:45,640 –> 00:13:47,840
\nand they say, hey, your father
\ntaxed us heavily, will you <\/p>\n
268
\n00:13:47,840 –> 00:13:51,040
\nplease lower the taxes, right,
\nRia Baum he asks his friends, he<\/p>\n
269
\n00:13:51,040 –> 00:13:52,840
\nasks the elders.
\nHe decides to go with his <\/p>\n
270
\n00:13:52,840 –> 00:13:56,160
\nfriends advice and at which is
\nto, you know, be tough and make <\/p>\n
271
\n00:13:56,160 –> 00:13:57,640
\npeople afraid of you.
\nSo he says. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:13:58,080 –> 00:13:59,920
\nMy.
\nLittle pinky is greater than my <\/p>\n
273
\n00:13:59,920 –> 00:14:03,160
\nfather’s loins, which is a
\nreally funny thing to say. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:03,440 –> 00:14:05,640
\nDon’t think I’ve ever talked
\nabout my father’s loins, but <\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:05,840 –> 00:14:07,320
\nthat’s, you know, that’s what he
\nsays. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:07,800 –> 00:14:09,680
\nAnd.
\nThen he says, my father <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:09,680 –> 00:14:12,360
\nchastised you with whips.
\nI will chastise you with <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:12,360 –> 00:14:14,800
\nscorpions, right?
\nAnd he’s like, oh man, I’m so <\/p>\n
279
\n00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:16,400
\ntough.
\nAnd the people are like. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:18,120
\nYeah, forget that, right?
\nSo they leave. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:14:18,680 –> 00:14:20,280
\nBecause who wants to be whipped
\nwith a scorpion? <\/p>\n
282
\n00:14:20,680 –> 00:14:21,920
\nSo.
\nThey leave. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:14:22,360 –> 00:14:25,840
\nAnd.
\nThen Jeroboam was the one who <\/p>\n
284
\n00:14:25,840 –> 00:14:27,240
\nwas.
\nLeading the people at that. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:14:27,240 –> 00:14:28,520
\nPoint.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:14:28,520 –> 00:14:31,600
\nThe one who led the delegation
\nasking Rioboam. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:14:32,480 –> 00:14:33,880
\nTo lower the taxes.
\nSo he was. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:14:33,880 –> 00:14:35,920
\nServing as a mediator for the
\npeople, interestingly. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:39,040
\nHe.
\nThen after after serving as a <\/p>\n
290
\n00:14:39,040 –> 00:14:40,480
\nmediator, becomes king of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:14:41,720 –> 00:14:43,600
\nSo you can.
\nSee this picture of the Lord <\/p>\n
292
\n00:14:43,600 –> 00:14:44,840
\nJesus.
\nThe timing works. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:14:45,080 –> 00:14:47,880
\nThe details fit.
\nIt it makes sense Now you might <\/p>\n
294
\n00:14:47,880 –> 00:14:51,880
\nbe wondering, well why?
\nLike why do we have this type of<\/p>\n
295
\n00:14:51,880 –> 00:14:55,040
\nthe Lord Jesus in probably like
\none of the worst people in the <\/p>\n
296
\n00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:56,320
\nBible?
\nRight. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:14:56,320 –> 00:14:57,800
\nYou remember Jeroboam’s last
\nname? <\/p>\n
298
\n00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:01,280
\nHe who?
\nMade Israel to sin, right? <\/p>\n
299
\n00:15:01,480 –> 00:15:03,560
\nLike every time that Jeroboam
\nshows up, that’s what he’s <\/p>\n
300
\n00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:06,040
\ncalled Jeroboam, the son of
\nNebat who made Israel sin. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:15:06,040 –> 00:15:10,240
\nAnd in fact, when we get to 2nd
\nKing 17, when God destroys <\/p>\n
302
\n00:15:10,240 –> 00:15:14,520
\nIsrael, we are told that God
\ndestroyed Israel because they <\/p>\n
303
\n00:15:14,520 –> 00:15:18,920
\ncould not shake the sins of
\nJeroboam son of Nebat who made <\/p>\n
304
\n00:15:18,920 –> 00:15:21,920
\nIsrael sin right.
\nSo this is. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:24,800
\nOne of.
\nThe most terrible people in <\/p>\n
306
\n00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:29,600
\nScripture responsible.
\nFor thousands of people. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:15:30,000 –> 00:15:30,760
\nLeaving.
\nThe truth. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:34,040
\nAnd.
\nYet he’s this type of Christ at <\/p>\n
309
\n00:15:34,040 –> 00:15:35,040
\nthe beginning.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
310
\n00:15:36,560 –> 00:15:40,360
\nI think the point is is that
\nwhen God separates the nations, <\/p>\n
311
\n00:15:41,040 –> 00:15:45,040
\nwhen God separates Israel and
\nJudah, he chooses someone who <\/p>\n
312
\n00:15:45,040 –> 00:15:48,120
\nhas the potential.
\nTo have. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:15:48,120 –> 00:15:51,640
\nDone amazing things and instead
\nwhat Jeroboam does is he uses <\/p>\n
314
\n00:15:51,640 –> 00:15:54,000
\nthat potential.
\nTo destroy the country. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:15:55,960 –> 00:15:59,160
\nJeroboam could have led the
\nnation in the way that they were<\/p>\n
316
\n00:15:59,160 –> 00:16:01,360
\nsupposed to go.
\nHe could have been the next <\/p>\n
317
\n00:16:01,360 –> 00:16:03,440
\nDavid, right?
\nThat’s exactly what God says. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:16:04,200 –> 00:16:05,280
\nHe could.
\nHave been the next David. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:16:05,640 –> 00:16:08,800
\nBut he wasn’t.
\nNow again was. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:16:08,800 –> 00:16:12,240
\nGod expecting unity.
\nNo. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:16:12,680 –> 00:16:17,520
\nBut he sets up a person like
\nJeroboam, somebody with <\/p>\n
322
\n00:16:17,520 –> 00:16:20,840
\npotential to create a great
\nnation because he expects. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:24,360
\nPeace He.
\nWanted the nations to flourish. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:16:27,360 –> 00:16:30,520
\nNow.
\nWe have this emphasized because <\/p>\n
325
\n00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:34,360
\nin First Kings chapter 12,
\nstarting at verse 21, Rehoboam, <\/p>\n
326
\n00:16:34,360 –> 00:16:36,640
\nwhen the split happens, Rehoboam
\nsays uh, uh. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:16:37,440 –> 00:16:38,360
\nThat’s.
\nNot going to happen. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:16:38,880 –> 00:16:41,520
\nYou guys aren’t separating and
\nRehoboam puts together an army. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:16:42,560 –> 00:16:44,320
\nHe’s.
\nAbout to go invade Israel and <\/p>\n
330
\n00:16:44,320 –> 00:16:47,080
\nhe’s going to take them back.
\nHowever he is met by a prophet <\/p>\n
331
\n00:16:47,080 –> 00:16:50,600
\nwho says do not go up to fight
\nagainst the Israelites for this <\/p>\n
332
\n00:16:50,600 –> 00:16:52,800
\nis my doing.
\nGod says you will not fight <\/p>\n
333
\n00:16:52,800 –> 00:16:54,960
\nthem.
\nNotice that fighting. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:16:54,960 –> 00:16:58,520
\nIs the opposite of what peace
\nso? <\/p>\n
335
\n00:16:58,760 –> 00:17:01,400
\nRio Boehm is going to fight, he
\nspecifically told. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:04,319
\nUh, uh, peace.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:17:04,640 –> 00:17:07,319
\nGod did not expect unity.
\nBut he did expect peace. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:17:08,440 –> 00:17:10,880
\nAgain.
\nFrom Israel’s perspective, just <\/p>\n
339
\n00:17:10,880 –> 00:17:12,560
\nplay this out.
\nYou can follow along in First <\/p>\n
340
\n00:17:12,560 –> 00:17:14,359
\nKings 12.
\nIt’s very interesting. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:17:15,119 –> 00:17:19,319
\nJeroboam decides he’s he must
\nhave been sitting on his throne.<\/p>\n
342
\n00:17:19,440 –> 00:17:22,359
\nHe decides to create a new
\nsystem of worship. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:17:22,839 –> 00:17:24,880
\nRight.
\nHe creates the golden calves, <\/p>\n
344
\n00:17:25,119 –> 00:17:28,520
\none of which he puts in Dan, the
\nother he puts in. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:17:29,040 –> 00:17:30,480
\nBethel.
\nSo he has. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:17:30,480 –> 00:17:32,760
\nThese two golden calves that he
\ncreates, he makes this new <\/p>\n
347
\n00:17:32,760 –> 00:17:36,040
\nsystem of worship.
\nNow the big question is why did <\/p>\n
348
\n00:17:36,040 –> 00:17:38,160
\nhe do that?
\nI think this is what we should <\/p>\n
349
\n00:17:38,160 –> 00:17:40,240
\nalways be asking.
\nWhen we’re doing Bible study, <\/p>\n
350
\n00:17:40,240 –> 00:17:41,760
\nwhy?
\nWhy did this person act this <\/p>\n
351
\n00:17:41,760 –> 00:17:42,920
\nway?
\nWhy did they do what they did? <\/p>\n
352
\n00:17:44,080 –> 00:17:45,120
\nWell, what’s?
\nReally interesting. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:17:45,880 –> 00:17:49,640
\nIs in first kings 12 we’re told
\nthat he decided to. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:17:49,640 –> 00:17:53,240
\nCreate a feast.
\nIn the. 8th month. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:17:54,320 –> 00:17:55,680
\nJust.
\nLike the feast? <\/p>\n
356
\n00:17:56,320 –> 00:17:58,040
\nThat.
\nWas in Judah in the seventh <\/p>\n
357
\n00:17:58,040 –> 00:18:00,480
\nmonth.
\nSo he’s. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:18:00,480 –> 00:18:02,520
\nClearly thinking about the feast
\nof the 7th month. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:18:02,520 –> 00:18:03,880
\nNow what was the feast of the
\n7th month? <\/p>\n
360
\n00:18:06,080 –> 00:18:09,040
\nThere are three, so you know.
\nDavid home that. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:18:10,440 –> 00:18:15,720
\nFeast of Tabernacles and Feast.
\nOf trumpets, That’s right. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:18:16,120 –> 00:18:17,160
\nYeah, so.
\nYou. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:18:17,160 –> 00:18:21,200
\nKnow it’s Rosh Hashanah, Yom
\nKippur, all of that and Sukkot <\/p>\n
364
\n00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:22,960
\nif you want the Hebrew names.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:18:23,040 –> 00:18:25,720
\nYou have these three, these
\nthree celebrations that were <\/p>\n
366
\n00:18:25,720 –> 00:18:27,360
\nsupposed to take place in the
\nseventh month. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:18:27,680 –> 00:18:30,880
\nNow, I think that gives us an
\ninsight into what was going on <\/p>\n
368
\n00:18:30,880 –> 00:18:32,800
\nin Jeroboam’s mind.
\nSo just try and picture this, <\/p>\n
369
\n00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:34,280
\nright?
\nI think we always have to try <\/p>\n
370
\n00:18:34,280 –> 00:18:35,720
\nand envision what’s going on in
\nthe Bible. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:18:36,280 –> 00:18:38,480
\nSo picture Jeroboam.
\nHe’s now king of Israel. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:18:38,480 –> 00:18:39,600
\nHe’s all.
\nExcited because he can. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:18:39,600 –> 00:18:41,400
\nGet as many new coats as he
\nwants, right? <\/p>\n
374
\n00:18:42,000 –> 00:18:42,640
\nSo there.
\nHe is. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:18:43,280 –> 00:18:46,560
\nHe’s sitting on.
\nHis throne and he hears all this<\/p>\n
376
\n00:18:46,560 –> 00:18:48,520
\nnoise.
\nGoing on outside. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:18:48,760 –> 00:18:50,240
\nSo he thinks, you know what?
\nWhat is this? <\/p>\n
378
\n00:18:50,400 –> 00:18:54,400
\nAnd he looks out the window of
\nhis palace and he sees all these<\/p>\n
379
\n00:18:54,400 –> 00:18:55,840
\npeople.
\nMaybe it’s just the men, right? <\/p>\n
380
\n00:18:55,840 –> 00:18:57,080
\nOnly the men were commanded to
\ndo this. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:18:59,960
\nHe sees all these people walking
\nby and he says, where are you <\/p>\n
382
\n00:18:59,960 –> 00:19:01,320
\nall going?
\nWhat are you doing? <\/p>\n
383
\n00:19:01,480 –> 00:19:04,960
\nAnd they say ready.
\nWe’re going to. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:19:06,240 –> 00:19:10,000
\nJerusalem and Jeroboam’s like.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:19:11,680 –> 00:19:15,040
\nWhy are you going to Jerusalem?
\nAnd they say, well, because it’s<\/p>\n
386
\n00:19:15,040 –> 00:19:16,680
\nthe 7th month.
\nRight, it’s. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:19:16,680 –> 00:19:17,880
\nThe Feast of.
\nTabernacles. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:19:17,880 –> 00:19:19,160
\nThat’s what we’re supposed to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:21,440
\nEveryone is supposed to go to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:24,280
\nAnd so then he looks further out
\nthe window and he realizes, <\/p>\n
391
\n00:19:24,280 –> 00:19:27,360
\nindeed, everyone is going to
\nJerusalem, right? <\/p>\n
392
\n00:19:27,360 –> 00:19:30,440
\nThe entire country.
\nAnd Jeroboam sits down and he <\/p>\n
393
\n00:19:30,440 –> 00:19:32,280
\nthinks.
\nWell, how’s? <\/p>\n
394
\n00:19:32,280 –> 00:19:34,040
\nThis going to work.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:19:34,040 –> 00:19:36,640
\nHow’s this supposed to happen
\nthat I’m supposed to lead this <\/p>\n
396
\n00:19:36,640 –> 00:19:39,800
\ncountry of 10 tribes when?
\nThree. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:43,320
\nTimes a year, every man and
\npossibly the women and children <\/p>\n
398
\n00:19:43,320 –> 00:19:46,200
\nto go to Jerusalem for these
\nfeasts, which would mean that <\/p>\n
399
\n00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:49,240
\nthey’re there in Jerusalem for
\nlike 2 months of the year. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:50,800
\nRight.
\nSomething along those lines. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:19:50,960 –> 00:19:52,880
\nOr they’re at least gone from
\nIsrael because they have to have<\/p>\n
402
\n00:19:52,880 –> 00:19:54,640
\ntravel time.
\nSo they’re gone for like 2 <\/p>\n
403
\n00:19:54,640 –> 00:19:56,360
\nmonths of the year.
\nAnd then he starts thinking, oh,<\/p>\n
404
\n00:19:56,360 –> 00:19:58,200
\nwait a minute, you remember we
\ntalked about this yesterday? <\/p>\n
405
\n00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:00,520
\nOur whole.
\nSystem of worship revolves <\/p>\n
406
\n00:20:00,520 –> 00:20:02,880
\naround what?
\nThe temple. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:20:04,320 –> 00:20:05,320
\nAnd he?
\nRealizes. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:20:06,120 –> 00:20:06,800
\nWait A.
\nMinute. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:20:09,160 –> 00:20:10,840
\nHow?
\nAm I supposed to lead a country <\/p>\n
410
\n00:20:12,520 –> 00:20:14,040
\nwhen their whole system of
\nworship? <\/p>\n
411
\n00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:17,680
\nIs.
\nDesigned around the capital of <\/p>\n
412
\n00:20:17,680 –> 00:20:21,400
\nthe.
\nEnemy country now I would put to<\/p>\n
413
\n00:20:21,400 –> 00:20:23,600
\nyou.
\nThat. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:25,480
\nThere is a false assumption in
\nthat statement. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:20:27,720 –> 00:20:28,960
\nThat.
\nAssumption was enemy. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:20:30,560 –> 00:20:34,040
\nAnd that.
\nI think is the point God set up <\/p>\n
417
\n00:20:34,040 –> 00:20:35,800
\nthe countries.
\nAnd you will. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:38,320
\nNotice he never said you’re
\ngoing to have a different form <\/p>\n
419
\n00:20:38,320 –> 00:20:40,560
\nof worship.
\nHe never said you’re going to <\/p>\n
420
\n00:20:40,560 –> 00:20:42,040
\nworship somewhere other than
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:20:43,080 –> 00:20:45,040
\nHe expects.
\nThat to continue. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:20:45,800 –> 00:20:49,640
\nRight.
\nBecause he expects Israel and <\/p>\n
423
\n00:20:49,640 –> 00:20:51,200
\nJudah.
\nTo. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:55,360
\nBe at peace.
\nHe did not expect them to be <\/p>\n
425
\n00:20:55,360 –> 00:20:56,760
\nunified.
\nBut he. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:20:56,760 –> 00:20:59,280
\nExpected them to be a peace and
\nso. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:21:00,240 –> 00:21:02,280
\nHe continues a system of
\nworship. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:21:03,160 –> 00:21:05,480
\nThat.
\nRevolves around the capital of <\/p>\n
429
\n00:21:05,480 –> 00:21:08,120
\nJudah.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:21:08,120 –> 00:21:10,560
\nJeroboam says uh, uh.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:21:10,680 –> 00:21:11,920
\nNo way.
\nThat’s not going to happen. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:15,040
\nSo Jeroboam puts together his
\ngolden calves, one in Bethel, <\/p>\n
433
\n00:21:15,040 –> 00:21:17,080
\none in Dan.
\nHe tries to find places that <\/p>\n
434
\n00:21:17,080 –> 00:21:19,520
\nwere significant for worship in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:21:19,680 –> 00:21:21,200
\nRight?
\nBethel, Genesis 28. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:21:21,280 –> 00:21:23,280
\nHouse of God.
\nIt’s where. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:21:23,840 –> 00:21:26,800
\nJacob met with God.
\nWith the whole Jacob’s Ladder <\/p>\n
438
\n00:21:26,800 –> 00:21:29,360
\nthing.
\nAnd then Dan, you look at Judges<\/p>\n
439
\n00:21:29,360 –> 00:21:32,200
\nChapter 18.
\nDan is where Moses’s grandson <\/p>\n
440
\n00:21:32,200 –> 00:21:33,880
\nhad set up a Tabernacle.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:21:34,160 –> 00:21:36,480
\nA false Tabernacle.
\nBut you could still imagine <\/p>\n
442
\n00:21:36,680 –> 00:21:39,480
\nJeroboam being able to say, oh,
\nwell, it was good enough for <\/p>\n
443
\n00:21:39,480 –> 00:21:42,120
\nMoses’s grandson.
\nIt’s good enough for me, right? <\/p>\n
444
\n00:21:42,120 –> 00:21:45,160
\nSomething like that.
\nYou know, we don’t know if he <\/p>\n
445
\n00:21:45,160 –> 00:21:46,240
\nsaid that.
\nBut. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:21:46,720 –> 00:21:49,360
\nYou can imagine it, right?
\nSo. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:21:49,520 –> 00:21:55,000
\nJeroboam creates these false
\nsystems of worship based on the <\/p>\n
448
\n00:21:55,000 –> 00:21:59,040
\nfact that he doesn’t understand.
\nThat he’s supposed to have <\/p>\n
449
\n00:21:59,040 –> 00:22:02,560
\npeace.
\nNow just let that sink in. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:06,800
\nThe.
\nSystem that destroys the country<\/p>\n
451
\n00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:10,960
\ncomes about.
\nBecause Jeroboam. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:22:11,480 –> 00:22:18,600
\nDidn’t choose peace.
\nNow what’s? <\/p>\n
453
\n00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:22,520
\nAmazing is what God continues to
\ndo in Second Chronicles Chapter <\/p>\n
454
\n00:22:22,520 –> 00:22:24,440
\n11, verse 4.
\nWe now. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:22:24,440 –> 00:22:27,640
\nHave a story in which Israel is
\ngoing to, sorry, Judah is going <\/p>\n
456
\n00:22:27,640 –> 00:22:32,200
\nto attack Israel.
\nSo the Ryoboam, Jeroboam stuff <\/p>\n
457
\n00:22:32,600 –> 00:22:36,720
\nthat has ended, now Judah is
\ngoing to try and pull a Ryoboam,<\/p>\n
458
\n00:22:36,960 –> 00:22:40,240
\ntry to attack Israel and bring
\nIsrael back for a second time. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:22:41,000 –> 00:22:42,160
\nNow what’s?
\nInteresting is what I’ve <\/p>\n
460
\n00:22:42,160 –> 00:22:44,760
\nhighlighted there on the screen.
\nIt’s the second Chronicles 11, <\/p>\n
461
\n00:22:44,760 –> 00:22:47,240
\nverse four, it says.
\nThis. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:22:47,240 –> 00:22:51,120
\nIs what the Lord says, do not go
\nup to fight against your fellow <\/p>\n
463
\n00:22:51,120 –> 00:22:53,480
\nIsraelites.
\nNow that underlined word there, <\/p>\n
464
\n00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:55,800
\nfellow Israelites, that is in
\nHebrew. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:56,840
\nYou’ll see it at the bottom of
\nthe screen. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:22:56,840 –> 00:22:59,560
\nIt’s your word, ach.
\nSo I used to have a Hebrew <\/p>\n
467
\n00:22:59,560 –> 00:23:02,320
\nstudent who would always remind
\nherself that this is how you <\/p>\n
468
\n00:23:02,320 –> 00:23:04,720
\ncould say this is.
\nWhat the word brothers meant, <\/p>\n
469
\n00:23:04,720 –> 00:23:06,920
\nIt’s ock because she’d always
\nsay ah, my brother. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:23:07,160 –> 00:23:08,760
\nLike that was how?
\nThat was how. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:23:08,760 –> 00:23:11,120
\nShe remembered it.
\nSo anyway, you know, maybe maybe<\/p>\n
472
\n00:23:11,120 –> 00:23:12,520
\nthat’ll help you.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:23:13,440 –> 00:23:15,160
\nYou have ock, that’s that word
\nthere. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:23:15,160 –> 00:23:18,440
\nThat’s akhim or brothers.
\nIn other words, this is what the<\/p>\n
475
\n00:23:18,440 –> 00:23:20,640
\nLord says.
\nDo not go up to fight against <\/p>\n
476
\n00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:24,080
\nyour brothers.
\nGo home. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:23:24,080 –> 00:23:25,600
\nEveryone of you, for this is my
\ndoing. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:23:25,600 –> 00:23:27,640
\nSo they obeyed the words of the
\nLord and turned back from <\/p>\n
479
\n00:23:27,640 –> 00:23:31,080
\nmarching against Jeroboam.
\nNow let’s. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:23:31,080 –> 00:23:32,920
\nJust put together this scene,
\nright? <\/p>\n
481
\n00:23:34,520 –> 00:23:36,800
\nJudah.
\nIs about to invade Israel, A <\/p>\n
482
\n00:23:36,800 –> 00:23:41,040
\nprophet comes and says no, don’t
\ninvade Israel because they’re <\/p>\n
483
\n00:23:41,040 –> 00:23:45,280
\nyour brothers, because God
\nintended for you to have peace. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:23:46,560 –> 00:23:49,840
\nNow do you?
\nNotice. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:23:50,720 –> 00:23:52,280
\nWhat’s?
\nSo amazing about the fact. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:23:52,520 –> 00:23:54,400
\nThat Israel is called their
\nbrothers. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:23:55,320 –> 00:23:56,520
\nAt.
\nThis time in history. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:23:58,960 –> 00:24:03,800
\nIt’s amazing because.
\nFor a generation now. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:24:04,960 –> 00:24:07,000
\nIsrael had been idol
\nworshippers. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:11,040
\nAnd.
\nYet God says even though this is<\/p>\n
491
\n00:24:11,040 –> 00:24:14,520
\na nation of idol worshippers,
\nyou will not attack them. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:24:15,040 –> 00:24:16,160
\nYou will.
\nHave peace with them. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:24:17,200 –> 00:24:19,240
\nAnd they’re your brothers.
\nNow where? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:24:19,240 –> 00:24:21,640
\nThat gets even more interesting.
\nIs. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:24:21,640 –> 00:24:23,480
\nIn Second Chronicles 28 verse
\neight. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:26,120
\nAnd by the way, I think
\nsometimes we we tend to feel <\/p>\n
497
\n00:24:26,120 –> 00:24:28,720
\nlike the term brother, sister,
\nall of that, that that denotes <\/p>\n
498
\n00:24:28,720 –> 00:24:30,360
\nunity.
\nClearly it doesn’t. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:24:31,240 –> 00:24:34,120
\nRight.
\nBut it does show peace. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:24:36,480 –> 00:24:39,200
\nSecond Chronicles 28, verse 8.
\nSays. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:24:39,200 –> 00:24:41,960
\nThe men of Israel took captive
\nfrom their fellow Israelites, <\/p>\n
502
\n00:24:42,080 –> 00:24:45,800
\nwho were from Judah, 200,000
\nwives, sons and daughters. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:24:45,920 –> 00:24:47,880
\nThey also took a great deal of
\nplunder, which they carried back<\/p>\n
504
\n00:24:47,880 –> 00:24:49,920
\nto Samaria.
\nThis is now during the reign of <\/p>\n
505
\n00:24:49,920 –> 00:24:52,760
\nAhaz.
\nSo A has this Hezekiah’s father.<\/p>\n
506
\n00:24:53,040 –> 00:24:55,800
\nDuring this invasion, this is a
\ndownward invasion in which <\/p>\n
507
\n00:24:55,800 –> 00:24:57,720
\nIsrael invades Judah.
\nSo now it’s the other way <\/p>\n
508
\n00:24:57,720 –> 00:25:00,120
\naround.
\nIsrael invades Judah. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:25:01,240 –> 00:25:03,360
\nAnd.
\nIt is in this time that Israel <\/p>\n
510
\n00:25:03,360 –> 00:25:04,960
\nactually kills Hezekiah’s
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:25:07,720 –> 00:25:12,360
\nSo this is.
\nAn intense invasion and yet <\/p>\n
512
\n00:25:13,120 –> 00:25:16,160
\nafter they take captive hundreds
\nof thousands of people. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:25:17,760 –> 00:25:18,800
\nYou are.
\nTold again. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:20,760
\nSend.
\nThose captives back. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:25:21,640 –> 00:25:24,880
\nBecause they’re your brothers.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:25:24,880 –> 00:25:27,120
\nIt does get a little bit
\ninteresting when we look at the <\/p>\n
517
\n00:25:27,120 –> 00:25:30,320
\ndetails of Second Chronicles 28,
\nbecause this brother’s idea <\/p>\n
518
\n00:25:30,320 –> 00:25:32,360
\ncomes out twice, but I do want
\nto note. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:25:33,040 –> 00:25:36,480
\nThat.
\nBecause of Judah’s idolatry. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:25:37,160 –> 00:25:39,000
\nYou do.
\nHave this blue underline there. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:25:39,720 –> 00:25:41,200
\nHe.
\nGave them into your hand. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:25:41,680 –> 00:25:42,840
\nRight.
\nSo God. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:25:42,840 –> 00:25:44,960
\nIntends overall for there to be
\npeace. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:25:45,240 –> 00:25:48,120
\nBut yes, there are times.
\nAt which God does take away <\/p>\n
525
\n00:25:48,120 –> 00:25:50,640
\npeace, I think that that’s
\nimportant to notice, right? <\/p>\n
526
\n00:25:50,760 –> 00:25:54,120
\nThere are specific instances
\nwhere God will say peace is what<\/p>\n
527
\n00:25:54,120 –> 00:25:57,400
\nI want over all, but in specific
\ncases we’re going to change <\/p>\n
528
\n00:25:57,400 –> 00:26:00,280
\nthat.
\nOK, so there are caveats here, <\/p>\n
529
\n00:26:01,240 –> 00:26:05,240
\nbut.
\nNevertheless, even though he <\/p>\n
530
\n00:26:05,240 –> 00:26:07,200
\ngives them into their hand, it’s
\nfascinating, right? <\/p>\n
531
\n00:26:07,840 –> 00:26:09,640
\nGod says I gave them into your
\nhand, but. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:26:10,600 –> 00:26:12,440
\nSend them back.
\nThey’re your brothers. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:26:12,720 –> 00:26:16,720
\nCome on.
\nIn fact. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:26:16,720 –> 00:26:19,000
\nWe see this as we even work.
\nThrough the prophets. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:26:19,560 –> 00:26:21,520
\nSo Isaiah was a prophet to which
\nnation? <\/p>\n
536
\n00:26:21,880 –> 00:26:24,520
\nIsrael or Judah?
\nJudah. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:26,440
\nThat’s right, Isaiah.
\nWas a prophet to Judah. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:26:26,520 –> 00:26:28,840
\nHe primarily prophesied during
\nthe reign of who? <\/p>\n
539
\n00:26:30,440 –> 00:26:32,360
\nHezekiah.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:26:32,360 –> 00:26:35,040
\nIsaiah is prophesying here
\nIsaiah 66 during the reign of <\/p>\n
541
\n00:26:35,040 –> 00:26:36,600
\nHezekiah.
\nHe’s speaking to the people of <\/p>\n
542
\n00:26:36,600 –> 00:26:39,320
\nJudah and noticed his prophecy.
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:26:39,320 –> 00:26:42,240
\nAnd I, because of what they have
\nplanned and done, I’m about to <\/p>\n
544
\n00:26:42,240 –> 00:26:44,760
\ncome and gather the people of
\nall nations and languages. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:47,160
\nThey will come and see my glory.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:26:47,160 –> 00:26:48,880
\nThis is.
\nThere’s. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:26:48,880 –> 00:26:50,360
\nMultiple applications of this
\nright? <\/p>\n
548
\n00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:54,840
\nThis is an Armageddon passage,
\nbut it had a primary application<\/p>\n
549
\n00:26:55,560 –> 00:26:58,360
\nto the destruction of the
\nAssyrians at Jerusalem during <\/p>\n
550
\n00:26:58,360 –> 00:27:00,000
\nthe reign of Hezekiah.
\nSo God. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:27:00,000 –> 00:27:02,000
\nSays these nations will come and
\nsee my glory. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:27:02,160 –> 00:27:04,800
\nI will set a sign among them.
\nI will send some of those who <\/p>\n
553
\n00:27:04,800 –> 00:27:07,720
\nsurvived to the nations, to
\nTarshish, to the Libyans and <\/p>\n
554
\n00:27:07,720 –> 00:27:10,800
\nLydians famous as Archers, to
\nTubal and Greece, to the distant<\/p>\n
555
\n00:27:10,800 –> 00:27:13,160
\nislands that have not heard of
\nmy fame or seen my glory. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:27:13,360 –> 00:27:16,520
\nSo some of the people that
\nsurvive the attack on Jerusalem,<\/p>\n
557
\n00:27:17,280 –> 00:27:19,320
\nthey would be sent to the other
\nnations. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:21,920
\nNow that’s interesting because
\nthose people, they’re from <\/p>\n
559
\n00:27:21,920 –> 00:27:25,240
\nJerusalem, so therefore they
\nwould be inhabitants of. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:29,800
\nJudah, right they will.
\nProclaim My glory among the <\/p>\n
561
\n00:27:29,800 –> 00:27:33,480
\nnations, and they will bring all
\nyour people from all the <\/p>\n
562
\n00:27:33,480 –> 00:27:35,520
\nnations.
\nNow who’s that talking about? <\/p>\n
563
\n00:27:35,680 –> 00:27:40,000
\nAll your people.
\nOh, that’s the people of Israel.<\/p>\n
564
\n00:27:41,760 –> 00:27:44,320
\nAnd that’s what we expect, or we
\nexpect at the coming of the Lord<\/p>\n
565
\n00:27:44,320 –> 00:27:47,400
\nJesus after Armageddon, that the
\npeople in Jerusalem will be sent<\/p>\n
566
\n00:27:47,520 –> 00:27:51,120
\nto gather back scattered Israel.
\nThey will. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:27:51,120 –> 00:27:54,280
\nBring all your people from all
\nthe nations to my holy mountain <\/p>\n
568
\n00:27:54,280 –> 00:27:56,160
\nin Jerusalem.
\nSo it’s interesting then that <\/p>\n
569
\n00:27:56,280 –> 00:28:00,320
\neven in the prophets we see that
\nGod continued to say, Israel and<\/p>\n
570
\n00:28:00,320 –> 00:28:02,680
\nJudah.
\nYou are one people, you are one <\/p>\n
571
\n00:28:02,680 –> 00:28:07,960
\nfamily.
\nJeremiah 715 I will thrust you <\/p>\n
572
\n00:28:07,960 –> 00:28:11,320
\nfrom my presence, just as I did
\nall your fellow Israelites, or <\/p>\n
573
\n00:28:11,320 –> 00:28:14,280
\nagain your brothers.
\nThe people of Ephraim. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:28:15,600 –> 00:28:18,440
\nEzekiel. 23 verse four.
\nThe older was named Ahola and <\/p>\n
575
\n00:28:18,440 –> 00:28:20,880
\nher sister was Aholaba.
\nThey were mine and gave birth to<\/p>\n
576
\n00:28:20,880 –> 00:28:23,600
\nsons and daughters, Ahola as
\nSamaria and Aholaba as <\/p>\n
577
\n00:28:23,600 –> 00:28:26,000
\nJerusalem, their sisters.
\nAnd so. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:28:26,000 –> 00:28:28,560
\nYou have this family metaphor
\nbrought up not because God <\/p>\n
579
\n00:28:28,560 –> 00:28:31,360
\nexpects families to always be
\nexactly the same. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:28:31,520 –> 00:28:33,800
\nHe doesn’t expect families to
\nalways have unity, but he <\/p>\n
581
\n00:28:33,800 –> 00:28:35,800
\nexpects families to have.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:28:40,120 –> 00:28:41,600
\nUnfortunately, that’s not what
\nhappens. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:28:42,640 –> 00:28:45,440
\nRight first.
\nKings 15 verse six there was. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:28:45,440 –> 00:28:48,240
\nWar between Abijah and Jeroboam,
\nAbijah’s Rioboam’s son. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:28:49,080 –> 00:28:50,320
\nThroughout.
\nAbijah’s lifetime. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:28:51,840 –> 00:28:54,640
\nNow again.
\nWe. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:28:54,640 –> 00:28:58,280
\nCan in fact tell, I believe.
\nThat. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:28:58,280 –> 00:29:00,000
\nThis war was not supposed to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:29:01,440 –> 00:29:03,800
\nAbijah gets up in Second
\nChronicles 13 verses three to <\/p>\n
590
\n00:29:03,800 –> 00:29:05,760
\nfour.
\nHe goes into battle with an army<\/p>\n
591
\n00:29:05,760 –> 00:29:09,600
\nof 400,000 able fighting men.
\nJeroboam drew up a battle line <\/p>\n
592
\n00:29:09,600 –> 00:29:14,000
\nagainst him with 800,000 so
\ntwice as many people and Abijah <\/p>\n
593
\n00:29:14,080 –> 00:29:16,680
\nthen gets up.
\nAnd this is not what you do in <\/p>\n
594
\n00:29:16,680 –> 00:29:18,680
\nwar.
\nAbijah then gets up and he gives<\/p>\n
595
\n00:29:18,680 –> 00:29:22,360
\na speech, essentially trying to
\nconvince Jeroboam that fighting <\/p>\n
596
\n00:29:22,360 –> 00:29:24,760
\nis a bad idea.
\nAnd he? <\/p>\n
597
\n00:29:24,800 –> 00:29:27,520
\nHe stands up and he says,
\nJeroboam, you are so foolish, <\/p>\n
598
\n00:29:27,880 –> 00:29:30,360
\nyou should know that Yahweh is
\non our side and you’re about to <\/p>\n
599
\n00:29:30,360 –> 00:29:32,000
\nlose.
\nNow abide. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:34,400
\nYou better hope that that’s
\ntrue, because he he’s going <\/p>\n
601
\n00:29:34,400 –> 00:29:36,040
\nagainst an army that’s twice as
\nbig as his. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:29:37,080 –> 00:29:39,040
\nNow I would put to you.
\nIn fact that the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
603
\n00:29:39,040 –> 00:29:41,640
\ntells a parable based on this.
\nIt’s Luke chapter 14. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:29:41,640 –> 00:29:44,960
\nIt’s the last few verses of the
\nchapter Luke. 14 he says. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:29:44,960 –> 00:29:47,160
\nOr what?
\nKing going into battle. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:29:48,560 –> 00:29:50,760
\nWill.
\nNot count his men. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:29:52,600 –> 00:29:53,360
\nAnd.
\nKnow. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:29:55,320 –> 00:29:59,320
\nThat his.
\nEnemy has twice as many and <\/p>\n
609
\n00:29:59,320 –> 00:30:02,200
\ninstead will stand up.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:30:02,200 –> 00:30:04,520
\nOffer words of peace.
\nRight, he. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:30:04,520 –> 00:30:06,760
\nSays what King would do that?
\nOh, we know who. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:30:07,880 –> 00:30:10,520
\nAbijah right and.
\nThis is what Abijah tries to do.<\/p>\n
613
\n00:30:10,520 –> 00:30:12,840
\nHe tries to say, oh, you don’t
\nactually want to fight Jeroboam,<\/p>\n
614
\n00:30:12,840 –> 00:30:14,200
\nnever mind, right?
\nIt’s not a good idea. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:30:14,840 –> 00:30:19,720
\nAnd he tries to explain, look,
\nYahweh is on our side now. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:30:19,720 –> 00:30:22,960
\nGod does help them because I
\nthink he actually does invoke <\/p>\n
617
\n00:30:23,160 –> 00:30:25,760
\nYahweh whereas Jeroboam doesn’t.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:30:25,760 –> 00:30:27,600
\nJeroboam just as using his
\nidols. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:30:28,720 –> 00:30:30,560
\nSo.
\nGod does save them, but I think <\/p>\n
620
\n00:30:30,560 –> 00:30:33,720
\nyou can see from the Lord
\nJesus’s commentary on this on <\/p>\n
621
\n00:30:33,720 –> 00:30:37,120
\nthis story in Luke 14 that.
\nThis was not what was intended, <\/p>\n
622
\n00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:38,640
\nright?
\nThis was not what was supposed <\/p>\n
623
\n00:30:38,640 –> 00:30:39,960
\nto happen.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:30:39,960 –> 00:30:42,360
\nHere’s our awesome chart.
\nI love this. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:30:42,360 –> 00:30:45,040
\nI don’t know about you, I I just
\nlove to like geek out over <\/p>\n
626
\n00:30:45,040 –> 00:30:46,480
\ncharts.
\nThey’re the best. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:30:46,920 –> 00:30:49,000
\nSo we can spend a lot of time,
\nbut we won’t. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:30:49,000 –> 00:30:50,640
\nWe’re not going to look at this
\nchart that often. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:30:51,040 –> 00:30:54,080
\nOK.
\nWe’ve just looked at Jeroboam. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:30:54,080 –> 00:30:56,440
\nRight on the top there in the
\nyellow and then Rioboam on the <\/p>\n
631
\n00:30:56,440 –> 00:30:58,880
\nbottom in the yellow and then
\nAbijah just after him. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:30:59,640 –> 00:31:02,800
\nWell, as you go through you get
\nBaasha and ASA and. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:31:03,760 –> 00:31:05,200
\nThen.
\nThere’s a bunch of civil wars in<\/p>\n
634
\n00:31:05,200 –> 00:31:08,520
\nIsrael, so you have Ela Zimri
\nwho reigns for seven days, Tibny<\/p>\n
635
\n00:31:08,520 –> 00:31:12,000
\nand Omri and then Ahab, and then
\nyou get Jehoshaphat down there <\/p>\n
636
\n00:31:12,120 –> 00:31:14,280
\nin Judah.
\nWell, throughout all of these <\/p>\n
637
\n00:31:14,280 –> 00:31:16,440
\nkings reigns there still is not
\npeace. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:31:18,120 –> 00:31:19,560
\nSo.
\nFirst Kings 15 verse 16 there <\/p>\n
639
\n00:31:19,560 –> 00:31:22,440
\nwas war between ASA and Baasha,
\nking of Israel, throughout their<\/p>\n
640
\n00:31:22,440 –> 00:31:26,440
\nreigns.
\nBaasha. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:31:26,440 –> 00:31:28,720
\nThen invades Judah.
\nASA. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:31:28,800 –> 00:31:30,520
\nTakes gold from the temple
\ntreasury to Syria. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:31:30,680 –> 00:31:33,000
\nSyria and Judah defeat Israel,
\nright? <\/p>\n
644
\n00:31:33,000 –> 00:31:35,600
\nSo there’s all this war back and
\nforth, back and forth, over and <\/p>\n
645
\n00:31:35,600 –> 00:31:38,360
\nover and over, and it doesn’t
\nwork out well. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:31:39,400 –> 00:31:43,160
\nRight, this is what ends up.
\nHaving ASA condemned, he doesn’t<\/p>\n
647
\n00:31:43,160 –> 00:31:46,200
\nrely on God throughout all of
\nit, and this war was not <\/p>\n
648
\n00:31:46,200 –> 00:31:47,800
\nsupposed to have been what took
\nplace. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:31:48,680 –> 00:31:52,520
\nOK, we.
\nThen get Ahab and Jehoshaphat <\/p>\n
650
\n00:31:52,520 –> 00:31:54,280
\nand that’s where it gets
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:31:54,320 –> 00:31:57,080
\nI don’t know if you’ve ever
\nnoticed this verse, but when you<\/p>\n
652
\n00:31:57,080 –> 00:32:00,440
\nget to the reign of Jehoshaphat.
\nLook what happens. 2nd. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:32:00,440 –> 00:32:04,000
\nChronicles 17, verse 10 the.
\nFear of the Lord fell. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:32:04,000 –> 00:32:07,040
\nOn all the kingdoms of the land
\nsurrounding Judah, so that they <\/p>\n
655
\n00:32:07,040 –> 00:32:09,720
\ndid not go to war against
\nJehoshaphat now. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:32:09,720 –> 00:32:13,360
\nAll the kingdoms surrounding
\nJudah that would include. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:32:14,040 –> 00:32:15,120
\nIsrael.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:32:15,280 –> 00:32:18,920
\nSo what we’re looking at?
\nHere is a time in which there is<\/p>\n
659
\n00:32:19,000 –> 00:32:22,240
\nno war.
\nIn other words, there is peace. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:32:23,440 –> 00:32:27,120
\nFinally, this is a time of
\npeace. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:32:27,320 –> 00:32:29,960
\nThis is what they.
\nWere supposed to have. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:32:30,160 –> 00:32:33,080
\nGod did not intend for them to
\nhave unity, He intended for them<\/p>\n
663
\n00:32:33,080 –> 00:32:35,800
\nto have peace.
\nAnd he? <\/p>\n
664
\n00:32:35,800 –> 00:32:39,320
\nGives it to Josaphat, however.
\nStrangely. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:32:39,320 –> 00:32:44,680
\nEnough Jehoshaphat is not happy
\nwith the peace and he tries to <\/p>\n
666
\n00:32:44,680 –> 00:32:48,000
\nforce unity.
\nNow you know the. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:49,240
\nStory.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:51,280
\nThat.
\nJehoshaphat goes. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:32:51,280 –> 00:32:54,280
\nHe allies with Ahab.
\nAhab gets a prophecy that he’s <\/p>\n
670
\n00:32:54,280 –> 00:32:57,880
\ngoing to die that day, and he
\nthen asks Jehoshaphat, will you <\/p>\n
671
\n00:32:57,880 –> 00:33:00,840
\nplease put on my royal robes?
\nAnd Jehoshaphat’s like, yeah, <\/p>\n
672
\n00:33:00,840 –> 00:33:03,800
\nthat sounds fun.
\nSo he does it and he goes out <\/p>\n
673
\n00:33:03,920 –> 00:33:06,960
\nand the Archer shoot at him and
\nJehoshaphat runs away screaming.<\/p>\n
674
\n00:33:07,520 –> 00:33:09,880
\nOK, which?
\nIs, you know, understandable. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:33:10,240 –> 00:33:14,040
\nI would do that too.
\nAhab then gets hit by a random <\/p>\n
676
\n00:33:14,040 –> 00:33:17,640
\nArcher who draws draws the bow
\nand it strikes him and that’s <\/p>\n
677
\n00:33:17,640 –> 00:33:19,040
\nthe end of Ahab.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:33:19,240 –> 00:33:20,520
\nThere’s a little.
\nMore to the story, though. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:33:21,520 –> 00:33:22,720
\nAnd that shows.
\nUS. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:33:23,280 –> 00:33:25,040
\nWhat?
\nJehoshaphat is doing and this <\/p>\n
681
\n00:33:25,040 –> 00:33:27,400
\nidea behind the unity here with
\nJehoshaphat. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:33:27,840 –> 00:33:31,680
\nSo in Second Chronicles chapter
\n18 verse one we read that <\/p>\n
683
\n00:33:31,680 –> 00:33:34,480
\nJehoshaphat allied himself by
\nmarriage. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:37,640
\nNow not all translations say
\nthat, which is why I have this <\/p>\n
685
\n00:33:37,640 –> 00:33:38,760
\nstuff on the Hebrew at the
\nbottom. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:33:39,080 –> 00:33:42,840
\nThe Allied himself is Hatan,
\nwhich is in the hit Payal <\/p>\n
687
\n00:33:42,840 –> 00:33:45,240
\nBanyani, which probably means
\nnothing, but that’s OK. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:33:46,000 –> 00:33:48,480
\nIt.
\nWhat this is just some of the. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:33:48,960 –> 00:33:51,840
\nInteresting detailed things in
\nHebrew that that you can look at<\/p>\n
690
\n00:33:51,960 –> 00:33:53,560
\nHebrew.
\nVerbs are very complicated. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:33:53,720 –> 00:33:55,960
\nJust keep that you know as a
\nwarning if you ever try and mess<\/p>\n
692
\n00:33:55,960 –> 00:33:58,840
\nwith Hebrew verbs.
\nIt’s probably better not to so. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:33:59,120 –> 00:34:01,640
\nSo what?
\nWhat this means is it’s a <\/p>\n
694
\n00:34:01,640 –> 00:34:04,160
\nmarriage alliance.
\nNow, the reason that that is so <\/p>\n
695
\n00:34:04,160 –> 00:34:07,240
\nimportant for us, that it’s a
\nmarriage alliance, is what do we<\/p>\n
696
\n00:34:07,240 –> 00:34:13,400
\nknow about marriage?
\nGenesis 224, Two become one. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:34:14,000 –> 00:34:18,000
\nAh, that sounds to me not
\nnecessarily like it’s peace. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:34:18,760 –> 00:34:19,440
\nBut.
\nUnity. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:34:20,040 –> 00:34:23,719
\nRight.
\nSo God expects peace in a. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:34:23,719 –> 00:34:26,280
\nFamily, he doesn’t expect unity
\namongst all the children and <\/p>\n
701
\n00:34:26,280 –> 00:34:28,440
\nwhatnot, but he does expect
\nunity between a husband and a <\/p>\n
702
\n00:34:28,440 –> 00:34:30,920
\nwife, right?
\nIt’s not very functional if you <\/p>\n
703
\n00:34:30,920 –> 00:34:33,320
\ndon’t have that so.
\nYou have. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:34:33,360 –> 00:34:36,239
\nUnity then that Jehoshaphat
\ntries to create. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:34:36,400 –> 00:34:40,120
\nSo he has his son Jehoram Mary
\nAthalaya Ahab’s daughter. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:34:40,400 –> 00:34:42,520
\nHe is attempting to create
\nUnity. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:34:43,080 –> 00:34:44,560
\nSecond Chronicles, 18 verse.
\nThree. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:34:44,639 –> 00:34:47,560
\nHe then attempts to create unity
\nagain because Ahab comes to him <\/p>\n
709
\n00:34:47,560 –> 00:34:50,360
\nand says, will you ally with me?
\nLet’s go to battle against <\/p>\n
710
\n00:34:50,400 –> 00:34:53,760
\nRamoth Gilead.
\nJehoshaphat replies by saying I <\/p>\n
711
\n00:34:53,760 –> 00:34:56,120
\nam as you are, and my people as
\nyour people. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:34:56,480 –> 00:34:58,640
\nNow, if you read that in the
\nHebrew, here’s how it <\/p>\n
713
\n00:34:58,640 –> 00:35:02,080
\ntranslates.
\nIt’s Kamukhi Kamukha. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:05,000
\nWhich is.
\nLike me? <\/p>\n
715
\n00:35:05,000 –> 00:35:09,000
\nLike you?
\nCan you see that unity emphasis <\/p>\n
716
\n00:35:09,040 –> 00:35:11,160
\nthere?
\nLike me, Like you. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:35:12,040 –> 00:35:13,680
\nI’m exactly.
\nThe same as you. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:35:14,360 –> 00:35:15,200
\nRight, that’s.
\nWhat he’s saying? <\/p>\n
719
\n00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:19,240
\nWe’re one my.
\nPeople as your people. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:35:20,320 –> 00:35:23,160
\nNow that’s.
\nLike your people are my people. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:35:23,640 –> 00:35:25,360
\nIn other words, my nation is the
\nsame as yours. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:35:25,920 –> 00:35:29,720
\nNow let’s just think about that.
\nIs that true that his nation is <\/p>\n
723
\n00:35:29,720 –> 00:35:32,960
\nthe same as Ahab’s nation?
\nIt’s not true at all. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:35:33,520 –> 00:35:36,800
\nRight.
\nAt this, Ahab is the king who <\/p>\n
725
\n00:35:36,800 –> 00:35:39,560
\nstarts hunting down prophets.
\nThat was. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:35:39,560 –> 00:35:42,360
\nNever a thing that had happened
\nin Israel’s history up to the <\/p>\n
727
\n00:35:42,360 –> 00:35:43,960
\npoint of Ahab.
\nThat’s. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:35:43,960 –> 00:35:47,960
\nWhat makes Ahab so terrible?
\nThis is why God condemns Ahab <\/p>\n
729
\n00:35:48,080 –> 00:35:50,920
\nmore than Jeroboam.
\nBecause. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:35:51,120 –> 00:35:54,560
\nAhab takes the next step of
\nactively hunting out those who <\/p>\n
731
\n00:35:54,560 –> 00:35:58,320
\nworship Yahweh.
\nNow, that’s clearly not what <\/p>\n
732
\n00:35:58,320 –> 00:36:00,760
\nJehoshaphat was doing.
\nSo the things that he’s saying <\/p>\n
733
\n00:36:00,760 –> 00:36:02,680
\nhere.
\nHe says, oh look, we’re unified.<\/p>\n
734
\n00:36:03,480 –> 00:36:08,680
\nBut they’re not.
\nSecond Chronicles 18 four <\/p>\n
735
\n00:36:09,440 –> 00:36:12,440
\nJehoshaphat then tries to change
\nthe situation right he. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:36:12,440 –> 00:36:16,280
\nAttempts to to create unity by
\nchanging Ahab, so he says well. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:36:16,880 –> 00:36:18,280
\nLet’s first seek the counsel.
\nOf Yahweh. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:36:18,280 –> 00:36:19,800
\nNow Ahab doesn’t do anything to
\nthat right? <\/p>\n
739
\n00:36:19,800 –> 00:36:22,160
\nHe just doesn’t listen.
\nSo Jehoshaphat says it again in <\/p>\n
740
\n00:36:22,160 –> 00:36:24,760
\nverse 6.
\nIs there no longer a prophet of <\/p>\n
741
\n00:36:24,760 –> 00:36:26,320
\nthe Lord here whom we can
\ninquire of? <\/p>\n
742
\n00:36:26,680 –> 00:36:30,000
\nAnd Ahab says Oh yes there is,
\nbut I. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:36:30,000 –> 00:36:33,080
\nHate him right now.
\nAgain, That should indicate to <\/p>\n
744
\n00:36:33,080 –> 00:36:35,400
\nyou.
\nThat unity is not here, right? <\/p>\n
745
\n00:36:35,920 –> 00:36:38,120
\nUnless you’re Jehoshaphat and
\nyou’re like, yeah, I hated him <\/p>\n
746
\n00:36:38,120 –> 00:36:40,960
\ntoo or something like that.
\nBut you know he doesn’t. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:36:41,320 –> 00:36:44,840
\nSo there isn’t unity there.
\nOK, so just. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:36:44,840 –> 00:36:47,120
\nTo make that clear, right?
\nWe know that, but I think that <\/p>\n
749
\n00:36:47,240 –> 00:36:49,640
\nthat should have been some red
\nflags for Jehoshaphat. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:53,280
\nNow, after that, Mike, AIA, the
\nprophet, he comes, he gives the <\/p>\n
751
\n00:36:53,280 –> 00:36:54,880
\nprophecy that Ahab is going to
\ndie. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:36:54,880 –> 00:36:57,200
\nIsrael is scattered like sheep
\nwithout a shepherd, right? <\/p>\n
753
\n00:36:58,240 –> 00:37:01,400
\nAnd then Ahab says, Oh yeah.
\nWell, I’ll, I’ll do better than <\/p>\n
754
\n00:37:01,400 –> 00:37:02,720
\nthat.
\nHow? <\/p>\n
755
\n00:37:02,720 –> 00:37:05,880
\nAbout you stay in the dungeon
\ntill I come back safely ha. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:37:06,280 –> 00:37:08,960
\nLet’s see if your prophecy, you
\nknow, changes now or something <\/p>\n
757
\n00:37:08,960 –> 00:37:12,120
\nlike that.
\nWell, it doesn’t. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:37:12,120 –> 00:37:14,920
\nWork, right?
\nBut the point is, imagine this <\/p>\n
759
\n00:37:14,920 –> 00:37:18,000
\nfrom Jehoshaphat’s shoes.
\nYou’re. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:37:18,000 –> 00:37:21,040
\nStanding with a guy that you
\njust said, you and I, we’re the <\/p>\n
761
\n00:37:21,040 –> 00:37:23,000
\nsame, right?
\nAnd he’s. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:37:23,000 –> 00:37:24,240
\nJust said.
\nWe. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:37:24,240 –> 00:37:26,040
\nAre you know, that’s great.
\nI’m glad we’re the same. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:37:26,040 –> 00:37:28,200
\nI hate Yahweh’s prophet.
\nOh, and by the way, I’m going to<\/p>\n
765
\n00:37:28,200 –> 00:37:31,160
\nlock him up.
\nAnd now you’re Jehoshaphat and <\/p>\n
766
\n00:37:31,160 –> 00:37:34,920
\nyou’re just thinking, hmm.
\nWell. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:37:35,080 –> 00:37:37,040
\nI guess we’ll go to battle.
\nAnyway, right, Like. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:37:37,120 –> 00:37:39,560
\nWhat?
\nWhat was that about? <\/p>\n
769
\n00:37:40,400 –> 00:37:41,320
\nOh, and.
\nBy the way, I’ll wear your. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:37:41,320 –> 00:37:42,880
\nClothes Ahab so that people can
\nshoot at me. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:37:43,240 –> 00:37:46,320
\nLike, come on, what’s happening
\nhere? <\/p>\n
772
\n00:37:46,720 –> 00:37:49,200
\nSo this is beyond peace.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:37:49,200 –> 00:37:52,480
\nWas what God had intended.
\nGod created the disunity there. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:37:53,160 –> 00:37:54,960
\nPeace.
\nIs tranquility and harmony. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:37:55,040 –> 00:37:57,000
\nThis is not peace.
\nThere. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:37:57,000 –> 00:38:00,360
\nWas peace and Jehoshaphat is now
\ngoing beyond the peace. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:38:00,480 –> 00:38:02,880
\nSo let’s talk a little bit about
\nunity and try and understand <\/p>\n
778
\n00:38:02,880 –> 00:38:04,560
\nthen what that is.
\nWell, this is interesting. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:38:04,560 –> 00:38:06,760
\nThis is a big shock to me.
\nI don’t know if you’re aware, <\/p>\n
780
\n00:38:06,880 –> 00:38:09,680
\nbut Unity only shows up three
\ntimes in the Bible. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:38:10,480 –> 00:38:13,960
\nThis is.
\nIn the English, so in the KJV. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:38:14,800 –> 00:38:17,200
\nYou get the word unity.
\nShowing up three times. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:38:17,200 –> 00:38:21,360
\nIt’s PS 133 verse one, Ephesians
\n4, verse 3 and Ephesians 413. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:23,920
\nSo 3.
\nTimes that you have the English <\/p>\n
785
\n00:38:23,920 –> 00:38:25,960
\nword unity.
\nIf you. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:38:25,960 –> 00:38:28,600
\nLook at it in the ESV, you’ll
\nnotice that you get one more in <\/p>\n
787
\n00:38:28,600 –> 00:38:31,080
\nfirst Peter 3\/8.
\nAnd this just shows you a little<\/p>\n
788
\n00:38:31,080 –> 00:38:32,680
\nbit of the difference in
\ntranslations, right? <\/p>\n
789
\n00:38:33,080 –> 00:38:35,600
\nAnd you can see that the
\nliberality of the NIV, when I go<\/p>\n
790
\n00:38:35,600 –> 00:38:39,560
\nto the next slide, the NIV has
\nit in seven places. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:38:40,080 –> 00:38:42,160
\nRight, it’s.
\nVery. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:38:42,480 –> 00:38:44,800
\nThat’s one of the things I, I
\njust love, you know, I love <\/p>\n
793
\n00:38:44,800 –> 00:38:47,480
\ntranslation.
\nWell, one of the things that’s <\/p>\n
794
\n00:38:47,480 –> 00:38:49,800
\nreally interesting to do.
\nIs to just go through and look <\/p>\n
795
\n00:38:49,800 –> 00:38:52,960
\nat how many times does the NIV
\nrefer to the Holy Spirit as a <\/p>\n
796
\n00:38:52,960 –> 00:38:54,840
\nHe.
\nBy the. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:38:54,840 –> 00:38:57,280
\nWay when it’s not that way in
\nthe Greek. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:38:58,200 –> 00:39:01,600
\nSo it does it a whole.
\nLot more than the KJV and the <\/p>\n
799
\n00:39:01,600 –> 00:39:03,840
\nnew living actually does it
\nsomething like 18 times. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:39:04,000 –> 00:39:06,600
\nAnyway, this is that’s a
\ndigression, sorry, but it’s so <\/p>\n
801
\n00:39:06,600 –> 00:39:08,800
\nexciting, isn’t it?
\nLike it’s just interesting stuff<\/p>\n
802
\n00:39:08,800 –> 00:39:10,400
\nto know about.
\nSo these are the things that we <\/p>\n
803
\n00:39:10,400 –> 00:39:11,520
\nshould look at and we should be
\naware of. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:39:11,880 –> 00:39:14,600
\nOK, so the word unity, the point
\nis, is that in English it <\/p>\n
805
\n00:39:14,600 –> 00:39:16,600
\ndoesn’t show up that often.
\nAnd I think it’s just good to <\/p>\n
806
\n00:39:16,600 –> 00:39:19,560
\nknow that it’s sort of a
\nbackground piece because I would<\/p>\n
807
\n00:39:19,560 –> 00:39:22,480
\nsuggest to you, it could be very
\neasy to look at this and say, <\/p>\n
808
\n00:39:22,480 –> 00:39:25,040
\noh, wow, Like, you know, we’ve
\njust seen that peace is <\/p>\n
809
\n00:39:25,040 –> 00:39:27,880
\nimportant and that, well, you
\nknow, God was creating disunity <\/p>\n
810
\n00:39:27,880 –> 00:39:29,120
\nthere.
\nSo unity doesn’t actually <\/p>\n
811
\n00:39:29,120 –> 00:39:30,160
\nmatter.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:39:30,160 –> 00:39:32,560
\nIt only shows up a handful of
\ntimes like no big deal. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:39:32,720 –> 00:39:34,000
\nWell, that would just be totally
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:39:34,320 –> 00:39:35,800
\nOK.
\nSo please don’t think that don’t<\/p>\n
815
\n00:39:35,800 –> 00:39:38,480
\nthink that that’s.
\nWhat I’m saying in my class, my <\/p>\n
816
\n00:39:38,480 –> 00:39:41,480
\npoint is is that the word unity
\ndoesn’t show up very often, but <\/p>\n
817
\n00:39:41,480 –> 00:39:45,800
\nI think the concept.
\nDoes so if we go to some of <\/p>\n
818
\n00:39:45,800 –> 00:39:48,280
\nthose places where unity is
\ntalked about. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:39:48,640 –> 00:39:51,040
\nSo Ephesians 4, three Ephesians
\n413. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:39:51,440 –> 00:39:55,120
\nWe’ll see in the Greek that our
\nword is in notice. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:39:55,920 –> 00:39:59,320
\nWhich comes.
\nFrom our word hase which is. 1. <\/p>\n
822
\n00:39:59,320 –> 00:40:01,480
\nThat’s what it means.
\nIt means oneness. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:40:02,880 –> 00:40:04,440
\nSo.
\nUnity means oneness. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:40:04,440 –> 00:40:06,280
\nIt comes from the Greek word
\none. <\/p>\n
825
\n00:40:06,720 –> 00:40:10,080
\nNow, if you’re interested about
\nthe etymology of our English <\/p>\n
826
\n00:40:10,080 –> 00:40:12,320
\nword unity, which I don’t even
\nknow why I put this in because <\/p>\n
827
\n00:40:12,320 –> 00:40:16,640
\nit’s not that relevant, but I,
\nI, I think it’s, I just nerd out<\/p>\n
828
\n00:40:16,640 –> 00:40:17,760
\nabout these things.
\nSorry. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:40:17,760 –> 00:40:19,880
\nThat’s really what it is.
\nAnd I wanted to use my Latin <\/p>\n
830
\n00:40:19,880 –> 00:40:23,200
\nsomehow.
\nSo what you got going on here is<\/p>\n
831
\n00:40:23,320 –> 00:40:26,040
\nhere’s unity.
\nIt comes from your Latin word. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:40:26,040 –> 00:40:29,080
\nThere it is ready unus, which
\nmeans one, right? <\/p>\n
833
\n00:40:29,080 –> 00:40:32,240
\nSo you can see the connection
\nthat you have in Greek. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:40:32,360 –> 00:40:35,400
\nYou have your word oneness and
\nthen you have the word, the <\/p>\n
835
\n00:40:35,400 –> 00:40:38,720
\nEnglish word unity comes from
\nthe, the Latin word for one. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:40:38,800 –> 00:40:42,120
\nOK, So we can see that unity is
\nreally connected to oneness. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:40:42,280 –> 00:40:44,960
\nAnd that’s a concept that comes
\nup a lot of times in Scripture, <\/p>\n
838
\n00:40:44,960 –> 00:40:47,040
\nright?
\nBeing of one mind. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:40:50,400 –> 00:40:53,040
\nSo.
\nUnity is something then that is <\/p>\n
840
\n00:40:53,040 –> 00:40:55,480
\nimportant scripturally, even
\nthough the English word doesn’t <\/p>\n
841
\n00:40:55,480 –> 00:40:56,960
\nshow up that often.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:40:56,960 –> 00:40:59,920
\nYou can just see how.
\nThat idea of oneness shows up a <\/p>\n
843
\n00:40:59,920 –> 00:41:00,680
\nfew times.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:41:00,800 –> 00:41:03,680
\nThey’re not all like commands
\nthat we should be one, right? <\/p>\n
845
\n00:41:04,000 –> 00:41:07,560
\nLike the Tower of Babel, the
\nwhole world had one language and<\/p>\n
846
\n00:41:07,560 –> 00:41:09,520
\na common speech.
\nBut I just want to show you how <\/p>\n
847
\n00:41:09,520 –> 00:41:12,040
\nthis oneness is sometimes talked
\nabout scripturally. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:41:13,120 –> 00:41:14,440
\nIt.
\nIs though, something that is <\/p>\n
849
\n00:41:14,440 –> 00:41:15,840
\nsupposed to be seen as the
\nideal? <\/p>\n
850
\n00:41:17,440 –> 00:41:19,560
\nSo if you.
\nHave Jeremiah 32 verses 37 to <\/p>\n
851
\n00:41:19,560 –> 00:41:22,120
\n39.
\nYou have a prophecy of the <\/p>\n
852
\n00:41:22,120 –> 00:41:25,040
\nKingdom age in which God says
\ndown there where I underlined <\/p>\n
853
\n00:41:25,040 –> 00:41:27,440
\nit, I will give them singleness
\nof heart. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:41:27,560 –> 00:41:31,120
\nThat’s our same word one.
\nI will give them oneness of <\/p>\n
855
\n00:41:31,120 –> 00:41:34,120
\nheart.
\nSo this is what God. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:41:34,520 –> 00:41:38,520
\nLooks for this is what he wants.
\nSo he envisions in the Kingdom <\/p>\n
857
\n00:41:38,520 –> 00:41:43,320
\nage a time in which everyone has
\none heart, right where there is <\/p>\n
858
\n00:41:43,320 –> 00:41:46,240
\nunity amongst everyone.
\nSo that’s what he’s looking for.<\/p>\n
859
\n00:41:46,440 –> 00:41:48,280
\nYou see the same thing in
\nEzekiel Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:41:48,480 –> 00:41:50,320
\nHe says down there, I will give
\nthem that. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:41:50,320 –> 00:41:52,880
\nIs Israel and Judah an undivided
\nheart. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:41:53,000 –> 00:41:56,360
\nAgain, that’s our word one, I
\nwill give them one heart. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:42:01,560 –> 00:42:04,240
\nNow I do find it interesting,
\njust by the way, you might have <\/p>\n
864
\n00:42:04,240 –> 00:42:05,560
\nnoticed that in those two
\nprophecies. <\/p>\n
865
\n00:42:06,280 –> 00:42:07,640
\nWho is it?
\nThat creates the unity. <\/p>\n
866
\n00:42:08,920 –> 00:42:11,600
\nIt’s God again, right?
\nSo you have God creating <\/p>\n
867
\n00:42:11,600 –> 00:42:15,240
\ndisunity when we look at Israel
\nand Judas history and then God <\/p>\n
868
\n00:42:15,240 –> 00:42:20,080
\ncreating unity again.
\nPhilippians. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:42:20,080 –> 00:42:22,720
\nChapter 2.
\nHowever, now I don’t think that <\/p>\n
870
\n00:42:22,720 –> 00:42:24,280
\nthat’s like an excuse for us,
\nright? <\/p>\n
871
\n00:42:24,280 –> 00:42:25,440
\nWe.
\nCan’t say, well, you know, we <\/p>\n
872
\n00:42:25,440 –> 00:42:28,120
\njust need divine intervention.
\nAlthough you know, maybe <\/p>\n
873
\n00:42:28,120 –> 00:42:30,840
\nsometimes that is how it is.
\nBut in Philippians chapter 2. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:42:31,440 –> 00:42:32,600
\nRight, that is what we’re called
\nto. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:42:32,920 –> 00:42:35,240
\nWe are.
\nCalled to be of 1 spirit and one<\/p>\n
876
\n00:42:35,240 –> 00:42:37,880
\nmind.
\nSo we are called the Unity. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:42:38,320 –> 00:42:40,880
\nSo I think.
\nWhat we see is that unity is the<\/p>\n
878
\n00:42:40,880 –> 00:42:44,120
\nideal.
\nAnd yet peace. <\/p>\n
879
\n00:42:44,560 –> 00:42:47,360
\nIs the command.
\nWe are. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:42:47,360 –> 00:42:50,280
\nCommanded to be at peace with
\neveryone and. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:42:50,280 –> 00:42:54,560
\nOnce we have learned to have
\npeace, then we can learn to have<\/p>\n
882
\n00:42:54,560 –> 00:42:59,360
\nunity.
\nSo these ideas are biblically <\/p>\n
883
\n00:42:59,360 –> 00:43:01,960
\ndifferent things.
\nPeace means harmony and <\/p>\n
884
\n00:43:01,960 –> 00:43:04,240
\ntranquility.
\nUnity means oneness. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:43:05,720 –> 00:43:07,960
\nSo now let’s.
\nJust take a look and ask <\/p>\n
886
\n00:43:07,960 –> 00:43:11,200
\nourselves well.
\nHow do we? <\/p>\n
887
\n00:43:11,600 –> 00:43:14,280
\nGet these things and when do we
\nuse them right? <\/p>\n
888
\n00:43:14,280 –> 00:43:17,600
\nUnder what circumstances do we
\nsay I’m going to go for peace? <\/p>\n
889
\n00:43:18,560 –> 00:43:19,760
\nOr I’m.
\nGoing to go for Unity well. <\/p>\n
890
\n00:43:20,440 –> 00:43:23,080
\nLet’s go back to Romans 14.
\nRight, this is what we looked at<\/p>\n
891
\n00:43:23,080 –> 00:43:26,280
\nyesterday, Romans chapter 14.
\nWe have our context of Jews and <\/p>\n
892
\n00:43:26,280 –> 00:43:28,240
\nGentiles.
\nWe have a group of people who <\/p>\n
893
\n00:43:28,240 –> 00:43:29,560
\nthinks that you should follow
\nShabbat. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:43:30,200 –> 00:43:32,680
\nWho?
\nThinks that you have to eat <\/p>\n
895
\n00:43:32,680 –> 00:43:34,920
\nvegetables because your meat
\ncould have been offered to idols<\/p>\n
896
\n00:43:35,040 –> 00:43:36,640
\nand these people are getting
\nfrustrated about it. <\/p>\n
897
\n00:43:36,760 –> 00:43:38,880
\nYou have another group who’s
\ngetting frustrated about the <\/p>\n
898
\n00:43:38,880 –> 00:43:40,160
\nfact that.
\nThey’re. <\/p>\n
899
\n00:43:40,160 –> 00:43:42,920
\nBeing looked down on for not
\ndoing these things. <\/p>\n
900
\n00:43:43,320 –> 00:43:49,320
\nRight.
\nSo just think. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:43:49,320 –> 00:43:53,600
\nAbout this, if you were going to
\napproach this to try and create <\/p>\n
902
\n00:43:53,600 –> 00:43:56,600
\npeace, how would?
\nThis be solved. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:43:59,560 –> 00:44:02,400
\nHow would it be solved?
\nIf you were going to try and <\/p>\n
904
\n00:44:02,400 –> 00:44:05,440
\ncreate Unity.
\nWould you? <\/p>\n
905
\n00:44:05,440 –> 00:44:08,720
\nApproach it the same way.
\nPeace versus unity. <\/p>\n
906
\n00:44:11,920 –> 00:44:12,880
\nAnd I.
\nThink the really interesting <\/p>\n
907
\n00:44:12,880 –> 00:44:16,120
\nquestion is which of those do
\nyou think Paul chose? <\/p>\n
908
\n00:44:17,120 –> 00:44:18,040
\nPeace.
\nOr Unity. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:44:21,800 –> 00:44:23,280
\nI’m going to.
\nPut to you that he chose peace, <\/p>\n
910
\n00:44:24,640 –> 00:44:27,320
\ninterestingly.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
911
\n00:44:27,320 –> 00:44:30,960
\nChooses peace because his
\nsolution is essentially just get<\/p>\n
912
\n00:44:30,960 –> 00:44:32,720
\nover it.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
913
\n00:44:32,920 –> 00:44:35,360
\nLike he comes in and he says,
\nyou know what? <\/p>\n
914
\n00:44:36,760 –> 00:44:38,560
\nYou who?
\nAre strong, bear with the weak. <\/p>\n
915
\n00:44:40,560 –> 00:44:42,680
\nYou.
\nJust need to decide. <\/p>\n
916
\n00:44:42,880 –> 00:44:47,200
\nTo be OK with this, he says.
\nYou need to work together. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:44:48,600 –> 00:44:49,680
\nAnd.
\nThat means peace. <\/p>\n
918
\n00:44:49,840 –> 00:44:51,880
\nIt doesn’t necessarily mean
\nunity, right? <\/p>\n
919
\n00:44:51,880 –> 00:44:54,520
\nHe didn’t come in and he didn’t
\nsay, look, here’s my treatise. <\/p>\n
920
\n00:44:55,360 –> 00:44:56,720
\nTo you.
\nPeople who think you need to <\/p>\n
921
\n00:44:56,720 –> 00:44:59,160
\nfollow Shabbat, here’s my
\ntreatise on why we don’t need to<\/p>\n
922
\n00:44:59,160 –> 00:45:01,200
\nfollow the law anymore.
\nLike what are you thinking? <\/p>\n
923
\n00:45:01,360 –> 00:45:03,480
\nHe doesn’t write that.
\nHe doesn’t write them galatians <\/p>\n
924
\n00:45:03,480 –> 00:45:07,920
\n#2.
\nInstead, he just says, you <\/p>\n
925
\n00:45:07,920 –> 00:45:10,760
\nstrong people who aren’t
\nfollowing Shabbat, it’s time to <\/p>\n
926
\n00:45:10,760 –> 00:45:13,760
\njust.
\nDeal with it and that’s that. <\/p>\n
927
\n00:45:14,840 –> 00:45:17,280
\nRight.
\nI know that you don’t need this,<\/p>\n
928
\n00:45:17,480 –> 00:45:17,800
\nright?
\nThat’s. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:45:17,800 –> 00:45:18,320
\nWhy?
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
930
\n00:45:18,400 –> 00:45:21,760
\nI am persuaded in the Lord Jesus
\nand convinced. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:24,040
\nThat.
\nNothing is unclean of itself. <\/p>\n
932
\n00:45:24,520 –> 00:45:26,800
\nHe said.
\nBut it is. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:45:26,800 –> 00:45:28,040
\nUnclean for those who think it
\nis. <\/p>\n
934
\n00:45:29,560 –> 00:45:31,000
\nSo he says.
\nIn this case, you know what? <\/p>\n
935
\n00:45:31,000 –> 00:45:32,600
\nYou just need peace.
\nIt’s. <\/p>\n
936
\n00:45:32,600 –> 00:45:36,080
\nJust a time to just wait.
\nAnd he’s not saying, by the way,<\/p>\n
937
\n00:45:36,160 –> 00:45:39,880
\nwait for the rest of your life.
\nBecause he says clearly you are <\/p>\n
938
\n00:45:39,880 –> 00:45:42,040
\nthe strong people now.
\nHow do you think those who <\/p>\n
939
\n00:45:42,040 –> 00:45:43,800
\ncelebrated Shabbat felt about
\nthat right? <\/p>\n
940
\n00:45:43,800 –> 00:45:45,960
\nWould you like to get a letter
\nfrom the Apostle Paul saying <\/p>\n
941
\n00:45:45,960 –> 00:45:49,320
\nthat you’re weak?
\nProbably not, right? <\/p>\n
942
\n00:45:49,600 –> 00:45:52,640
\nLike he, he doesn’t just sit
\naround and say, you know, have <\/p>\n
943
\n00:45:52,640 –> 00:45:56,520
\npeace now, but he says have
\npeace now because eventually <\/p>\n
944
\n00:45:56,720 –> 00:46:00,200
\nthat peace will.
\nLead to unity. <\/p>\n
945
\n00:46:02,640 –> 00:46:05,200
\nBut.
\nUnity takes time and requires <\/p>\n
946
\n00:46:05,200 –> 00:46:08,600
\nthe peace first.
\nSo that’s Paul’s solution. <\/p>\n
947
\n00:46:09,360 –> 00:46:12,040
\nHe.
\nSays have peace first, focus on <\/p>\n
948
\n00:46:12,040 –> 00:46:14,560
\nthe peace and see what happens.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
949
\n00:46:15,240 –> 00:46:17,400
\nDon’t.
\nLet your good be evil spoken of,<\/p>\n
950
\n00:46:17,560 –> 00:46:19,640
\nhe says.
\nSo don’t. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:46:19,640 –> 00:46:22,600
\nJust sit there and decide to be
\npeaceful about it, you know, <\/p>\n
952
\n00:46:22,600 –> 00:46:24,640
\ntalk to these people and say,
\nwell, here’s why I think we <\/p>\n
953
\n00:46:24,640 –> 00:46:28,280
\nshouldn’t celebrate Jabhat.
\nBut do it peacefully. <\/p>\n
954
\n00:46:31,400 –> 00:46:34,440
\nLet us therefore make every
\neffort to do what leads to <\/p>\n
955
\n00:46:34,440 –> 00:46:39,160
\npeace, he says.
\nAnd a mutual edification do not <\/p>\n
956
\n00:46:39,160 –> 00:46:41,480
\ndestroy the work of God for the
\nsake of food. <\/p>\n
957
\n00:46:41,720 –> 00:46:45,320
\nAll food is clean, but is wrong
\nfor a person to eat anything <\/p>\n
958
\n00:46:45,400 –> 00:46:46,760
\nthat causes someone else to
\nstumble. <\/p>\n
959
\n00:46:47,120 –> 00:46:50,480
\nSo what Paul says is in this
\ncase, we have to choose peace <\/p>\n
960
\n00:46:51,080 –> 00:46:55,760
\nand we’ll get to unity.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
961
\n00:46:55,760 –> 00:46:58,640
\nI think that when we recognize
\nthat distinction between peace <\/p>\n
962
\n00:46:58,640 –> 00:47:01,120
\nand unity, we can then
\nunderstand what’s really going <\/p>\n
963
\n00:47:01,120 –> 00:47:03,560
\non here.
\nWe don’t have to see. <\/p>\n
964
\n00:47:04,560 –> 00:47:08,040
\nHebrews. 1214 as creating a
\ncontrast between peace and <\/p>\n
965
\n00:47:08,040 –> 00:47:12,120
\nholiness.
\nIn fact, what we can see is that<\/p>\n
966
\n00:47:12,120 –> 00:47:17,720
\nlearning to live at peace with
\neveryone is one of the ways that<\/p>\n
967
\n00:47:17,720 –> 00:47:20,600
\nwe are holy.
\nBecause. <\/p>\n
968
\n00:47:20,600 –> 00:47:22,960
\nThat’s not how anybody in the
\nworld functions. <\/p>\n
969
\n00:47:24,080 –> 00:47:25,200
\nRight.
\nDo you? <\/p>\n
970
\n00:47:25,200 –> 00:47:27,240
\nKnow anybody that is at peace
\nwith everyone? <\/p>\n
971
\n00:47:27,960 –> 00:47:29,840
\nAnd yet that’s that’s what it’s
\nsaying here. <\/p>\n
972
\n00:47:30,800 –> 00:47:32,400
\nRight.
\nNow there’s a lot of people who <\/p>\n
973
\n00:47:32,400 –> 00:47:34,640
\njust let everything slide.
\nThat’s not what I’m talking <\/p>\n
974
\n00:47:34,640 –> 00:47:36,360
\nabout, right?
\nBeing at peace with people. <\/p>\n
975
\n00:47:36,600 –> 00:47:40,280
\nMeans that you decide.
\nThis is. <\/p>\n
976
\n00:47:40,280 –> 00:47:42,320
\nNot something that we’re going
\nto fight about, but it’s <\/p>\n
977
\n00:47:42,320 –> 00:47:43,520
\nsomething we’re going to talk
\nabout. <\/p>\n
978
\n00:47:46,560 –> 00:47:47,960
\nAnd so.
\nWe’re commanded to be at peace <\/p>\n
979
\n00:47:47,960 –> 00:47:54,040
\nwith everybody, I think because.
\nThat’s what holy people do. <\/p>\n
980
\n00:47:55,200 –> 00:47:57,600
\nPeople who are holy are the
\npeople who are learning. <\/p>\n
981
\n00:47:58,040 –> 00:48:00,200
\nTo put aside that desire to
\nfight. <\/p>\n
982
\n00:48:01,040 –> 00:48:03,280
\nTo put.
\nAside that desire to attack <\/p>\n
983
\n00:48:03,280 –> 00:48:05,640
\nsomeone else and instead.
\nTo say. <\/p>\n
984
\n00:48:05,640 –> 00:48:10,360
\nI’m going to be peaceful about
\nthis and let’s talk to not let <\/p>\n
985
\n00:48:10,360 –> 00:48:12,680
\nour good be evil spoken of.
\nBut to. <\/p>\n
986
\n00:48:12,680 –> 00:48:19,120
\nDo it with the right spirit.
\nSo this is. <\/p>\n
987
\n00:48:19,120 –> 00:48:22,360
\nWhere Jehoshaphat’s decision
\nleads. 2nd. <\/p>\n
988
\n00:48:22,360 –> 00:48:24,440
\nChronicles 19 Two.
\nHe goes for unity when there is <\/p>\n
989
\n00:48:24,440 –> 00:48:27,280
\nno unity, and so Jehu the seer
\ncomes to him. <\/p>\n
990
\n00:48:28,840 –> 00:48:30,720
\nHe meets him and he says should
\nyou help? <\/p>\n
991
\n00:48:30,720 –> 00:48:32,720
\nThe wicked and love those who
\nhate the Lord. <\/p>\n
992
\n00:48:32,720 –> 00:48:33,920
\nDo you see what’s being brought
\nout here? <\/p>\n
993
\n00:48:35,040 –> 00:48:36,400
\nLook.
\nJehoshaphat, you allied <\/p>\n
994
\n00:48:36,400 –> 00:48:38,600
\nyourself.
\nYou said I am as you are and so <\/p>\n
995
\n00:48:38,720 –> 00:48:42,160
\nthe 1st.
\nWords of Jehu are Do you not <\/p>\n
996
\n00:48:42,160 –> 00:48:44,920
\nrealize who Ahab is?
\nRight? <\/p>\n
997
\n00:48:44,920 –> 00:48:47,280
\nDo you really think?
\nThat you can have unity with <\/p>\n
998
\n00:48:47,280 –> 00:48:48,840
\nthis guy.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
999
\n00:48:48,840 –> 00:48:51,800
\nHates Yahweh and he told you
\nthat. <\/p>\n
1000
\n00:48:57,190 –> 00:48:58,390
\nSo instead, what’s interesting
\nthen? <\/p>\n
1001
\n00:48:59,320 –> 00:49:00,680
\nIs.
\nThat when we start to look at <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:49:00,680 –> 00:49:04,160
\nunity, we actually do see it
\nhappen later and we see with <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:49:04,160 –> 00:49:06,840
\nHezekiah.
\nAnd the way that we see it with <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:49:06,840 –> 00:49:09,400
\nHezekiah is that Hezekiah
\ndoesn’t just try and force <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:49:09,400 –> 00:49:13,480
\nunity, but instead he actually
\nlays out here are my principles.<\/p>\n
1006
\n00:49:15,040 –> 00:49:16,880
\nAnd he?
\nSays, look, we can have unity if<\/p>\n
1007
\n00:49:16,880 –> 00:49:18,280
\nwe have an agreement on
\nprinciples. <\/p>\n
1008
\n00:49:18,280 –> 00:49:19,320
\nIf.
\nWe have. <\/p>\n
1009
\n00:49:19,320 –> 00:49:21,840
\nAn agreement on who we are.
\nLike there’s. <\/p>\n
1010
\n00:49:21,840 –> 00:49:25,520
\nPeace already, but if we want
\nunity, we have to agree on. <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:49:25,520 –> 00:49:28,360
\nPrinciples.
\nAnd So what Hezekiah does is he <\/p>\n
1012
\n00:49:28,360 –> 00:49:31,200
\nsends.
\nPeople up to Israel to celebrate<\/p>\n
1013
\n00:49:31,200 –> 00:49:34,160
\nPassover and yet.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:49:34,160 –> 00:49:36,440
\nExplains to them.
\nThis. <\/p>\n
1015
\n00:49:36,440 –> 00:49:38,560
\nIs the basis on which?
\nWe’re going to meet. <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:49:38,800 –> 00:49:40,960
\nWe’re going to meet for a feast
\nof Yahweh, right? <\/p>\n
1017
\n00:49:41,360 –> 00:49:42,400
\nIt’s.
\nNot going to be a battle where <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:49:42,400 –> 00:49:44,400
\nI’m saying, oh, I’m just like
\nyou, yeah, let’s go hate on the <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:49:44,400 –> 00:49:46,040
\nprophets.
\nThat’s not how it’s going to go.<\/p>\n
1020
\n00:49:46,680 –> 00:49:48,280
\nHe says we’re going to celebrate
\na feast of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:49:49,200 –> 00:49:52,520
\nAnd in.
\nAddition to that. <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:49:56,160 –> 00:49:59,920
\nLook at this. 2nd.
\nChronicles 30, verses 18 to 19. <\/p>\n
1023
\n00:50:01,120 –> 00:50:03,520
\nI think this is something that
\nwe often miss when we consider <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:50:03,520 –> 00:50:05,000
\nthe way that Hezekiah brought
\nunity. <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:50:05,920 –> 00:50:07,680
\nSays.
\nAlthough many, although most of <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:50:07,680 –> 00:50:10,080
\nthe many people who came from
\nEphraim, Manasseh, Issachar and <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:50:10,080 –> 00:50:12,560
\nZebulun had not purified
\nthemselves yet, they ate the <\/p>\n
1028
\n00:50:12,560 –> 00:50:16,200
\nPassover, contrary to what was
\nwritten. <\/p>\n
1029
\n00:50:19,600 –> 00:50:23,360
\nThink about that Now.
\nI think it’s fascinating that <\/p>\n
1030
\n00:50:23,360 –> 00:50:25,480
\nHezekiah says look.
\nThese are. <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:50:25,480 –> 00:50:27,880
\nMy principles.
\nThis is. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:50:27,880 –> 00:50:29,120
\nThe basis on which we’re going
\nto meet. <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:50:29,360 –> 00:50:34,440
\nAnd then he realizes, you know
\nwhat, sometimes it’s going to be<\/p>\n
1034
\n00:50:34,440 –> 00:50:37,000
\na little bit messy, right?
\nThey they agree, they say, yes, <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:50:37,000 –> 00:50:38,280
\nwe are going to meet on those
\nprinciples. <\/p>\n
1036
\n00:50:39,200 –> 00:50:42,080
\nAnd Hezekiah recognizes well, it
\nlooks like we might not have <\/p>\n
1037
\n00:50:42,360 –> 00:50:43,600
\nperfect.
\nUnity here. <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:50:44,160 –> 00:50:46,320
\nAt this time.
\nBecause. <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:50:46,320 –> 00:50:48,480
\nSome things are happening that
\nweren’t supposed to happen. <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:50:49,400 –> 00:50:51,640
\nBut.
\nHis stance towards it. <\/p>\n
1041
\n00:50:52,440 –> 00:50:55,720
\nIs May.
\nYahweh who is good. <\/p>\n
1042
\n00:50:56,640 –> 00:50:58,680
\nPardon everyone who sets their
\nheart on seeking God. <\/p>\n
1043
\n00:50:59,920 –> 00:51:02,320
\nThe Lord, the God of their.
\nAncestors, even if they are not <\/p>\n
1044
\n00:51:02,320 –> 00:51:03,960
\nclean according to the rules of
\nthe sanctuary. <\/p>\n
1045
\n00:51:04,560 –> 00:51:08,200
\nAnd I think that’s fascinating
\nthat in fact what you see again.<\/p>\n
1046
\n00:51:08,880 –> 00:51:11,200
\nIs.
\nThat there are instances here <\/p>\n
1047
\n00:51:11,240 –> 00:51:14,160
\nwhere, yes, Hezekiah has
\nprincipled unity, that’s what <\/p>\n
1048
\n00:51:14,160 –> 00:51:16,760
\nhe’s going for.
\nBut he acknowledges that there <\/p>\n
1049
\n00:51:16,760 –> 00:51:21,280
\nare times not on the principles,
\nbut there are times when <\/p>\n
1050
\n00:51:21,280 –> 00:51:23,840
\ncompromise is necessary and he’s
\nwilling to do that. <\/p>\n
1051
\n00:51:24,320 –> 00:51:26,360
\nAnd he’s not saying that this is
\ngoing to be forever. <\/p>\n
1052
\n00:51:26,400 –> 00:51:27,960
\nHe doesn’t intend for that to be
\nforever. <\/p>\n
1053
\n00:51:28,320 –> 00:51:31,400
\nBut he he recognizes this is
\nwhere we’re at at this point. <\/p>\n
1054
\n00:51:35,040 –> 00:51:37,200
\nSo let’s.
\nJust wrap this up. <\/p>\n
1055
\n00:51:38,520 –> 00:51:42,080
\nI think this is maybe the best
\nplace to bring this all together<\/p>\n
1056
\n00:51:42,480 –> 00:51:44,360
\nbecause.
\nWe. <\/p>\n
1057
\n00:51:44,360 –> 00:51:48,280
\nSee the Apostle Paul explaining
\nthe relationship between unity <\/p>\n
1058
\n00:51:48,280 –> 00:51:52,040
\nand peace, Ephesians 4, verses
\n3:00 to 6:00. <\/p>\n
1059
\n00:51:53,720 –> 00:51:57,880
\nHe says make every effort to
\nkeep the unity of the Spirit <\/p>\n
1060
\n00:51:57,880 –> 00:51:58,720
\nthrough the.
\nBond of peace. <\/p>\n
1061
\n00:52:00,280 –> 00:52:02,640
\nThere’s one body and one spirit,
\njust as you were called to 1. <\/p>\n
1062
\n00:52:02,640 –> 00:52:06,000
\nHope when you were called 1.
\nLord 1 Faith, one baptism, one <\/p>\n
1063
\n00:52:06,000 –> 00:52:09,480
\nGod and Father of all, who is
\nover all and through all and in <\/p>\n
1064
\n00:52:09,480 –> 00:52:10,840
\nall.
\nDo you see? <\/p>\n
1065
\n00:52:10,840 –> 00:52:13,440
\nThe relationship there with
\nunity and peace, he says. <\/p>\n
1066
\n00:52:13,880 –> 00:52:16,240
\nThis is a goal, right?
\nYou were supposed to make every <\/p>\n
1067
\n00:52:16,240 –> 00:52:19,880
\neffort you can to be unified and
\nthe way you do it. <\/p>\n
1068
\n00:52:21,640 –> 00:52:25,360
\nThrough peace, he says.
\nThat’s the starting place. <\/p>\n
1069
\n00:52:26,520 –> 00:52:27,840
\nThis is why peace is the
\ncommand. <\/p>\n
1070
\n00:52:28,800 –> 00:52:32,680
\nWe’re commanded to peace.
\nWe start with peace, and we <\/p>\n
1071
\n00:52:32,680 –> 00:52:36,520
\nbelieve then that unity.
\nProceeds from. <\/p>\n
1072
\n00:52:36,520 –> 00:52:39,000
\nThat.
\nSo unity and peace are not the. <\/p>\n
1073
\n00:52:39,000 –> 00:52:42,960
\nSame thing.
\nWe strive for peace with <\/p>\n
1074
\n00:52:42,960 –> 00:52:44,880
\neveryone.
\nAll of the time. <\/p>\n
1075
\n00:52:46,080 –> 00:52:47,560
\nThat doesn’t mean that we agree
\nwith everyone. <\/p>\n
1076
\n00:52:48,280 –> 00:52:52,040
\nWhat it means is that we talk,
\nwe work it out. <\/p>\n
1077
\n00:52:55,120 –> 00:52:56,480
\nWe only.
\nStrive for unity with some. <\/p>\n
1078
\n00:52:57,400 –> 00:52:58,320
\nBecause.
\nThere are only some that we <\/p>\n
1079
\n00:52:58,320 –> 00:53:00,560
\ncan’t be unified with.
\nAnd we? <\/p>\n
1080
\n00:53:00,560 –> 00:53:04,040
\nDo that on the basis of
\nprinciple. <\/p>\n
1081
\n00:53:04,880 –> 00:53:07,040
\nSo that’s the difference.
\nAnd I think when we can see that<\/p>\n
1082
\n00:53:07,040 –> 00:53:10,120
\ndifference, then that begins to
\nopen up a lot of what God was <\/p>\n
1083
