1
\n00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:02,040
\nWell, good morning, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:03,200 –> 00:00:03,960
\nGood.
\nMorning. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:05,560 –> 00:00:10,000
\nWell, Jacob’s transformation
\nfrom grappling with an Angel. <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:10,240 –> 00:00:13,840
\nTo exchanging.
\nHumble words with Esau revealed.<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:18,240
\nHis spiritual transformation
\nyesterday, he now. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:18,240 –> 00:00:22,000
\nSees the face of God.
\nHe no longer. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:22,000 –> 00:00:26,640
\nIs looking in the face of Esau.
\nWe learnt yesterday, didn’t we, <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:26,640 –> 00:00:29,360
\nthat.
\nHe had to let go of Esau in <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:29,360 –> 00:00:32,520
\norder to hold.
\nOn to God and in all of this. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:32,759 –> 00:00:39,520
\nHe.
\nSaw the hand of Providence, but <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:39,520 –> 00:00:44,840
\nwhen we come later.
\nIn the life of. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:45,120 –> 00:00:48,600
\nJacob.
\nWe soon find that he. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:49,280 –> 00:00:54,400
\nMeets another low point, a
\ncrisis moment, and it’s there in<\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:56,040
\nGenesis.
\nChapter 34 so we’ve. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:56,040 –> 00:00:59,600
\nOpened up our scriptures.
\nAnd we look at Genesis chapter <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:59,600 –> 00:01:01,600
\n34 and you.
\nJust can scroll your eyes. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:01,600 –> 00:01:03,200
\nDown that chapter and you can
\nsee. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:03,200 –> 00:01:05,640
\nThere.
\nThe infamous incident the. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:08,320
\nThe bloodthirsty slaughter of
\nthe. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:08,320 –> 00:01:12,040
\nShechemites of Levi and Simeon
\nand how? <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:12,520 –> 00:01:17,080
\nDinah, Jacob’s daughter.
\nIs living with the Prince of the<\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:17,080 –> 00:01:20,120
\nHivites.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:20,440 –> 00:01:23,400
\nBy the time we get.
\nTo chapter 34. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:25,280 –> 00:01:30,600
\nJacob’s house is being destroyed
\nbefore his very eyes. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:31,560 –> 00:01:35,880
\nJacob again finds himself on his
\nknees. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:38,320 –> 00:01:40,040
\nAnd I want you just to notice a
\nfew. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:40,040 –> 00:01:42,440
\nLittle interesting.
\nDetails here. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:44,520 –> 00:01:48,840
\nNotice in this situation.
\nWith the Shechemites, how <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:48,840 –> 00:01:53,800
\nJacob’s fears resurface.
\nSo remember yesterday. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:54,840 –> 00:01:57,440
\nWe looked at.
\nGiving back the blessing of Esau<\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:57,440 –> 00:02:00,640
\nand the day before in the.
\nPower of God. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:00,640 –> 00:02:04,360
\nContending with an Angel, but
\nnow somehow. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:05,080 –> 00:02:08,160
\nThe fears of Jacob resurface.
\nAgain. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:10,759
\nSo notice at the end of.
\nVerse 30. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:11,320 –> 00:02:14,080
\nReread these.
\nWords from Jacob they. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:17,680
\nHe’s speaking specifically here.
\nOf the Canaanites and the. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:17,680 –> 00:02:21,720
\nPerizzites they shall.
\nGather themselves together <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:21,720 –> 00:02:23,520
\nagainst me.
\nHave we heard this kind of <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:23,520 –> 00:02:26,600
\nlanguage before?
\nThey shall gather themselves <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:28,800
\ntogether against.
\nMe and slay me and. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:33,000
\nI shall be destroyed, he.
\nFears and my house. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:33,520 –> 00:02:35,080
\nJust keep your finger there and
\ngo. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:35,080 –> 00:02:37,760
\nBack to Chapter 30.
\nTwo and see. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:37,760 –> 00:02:44,800
\nHow This is similar to the fears
\nthat Jacob earlier expressed <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:45,040 –> 00:02:49,120
\nregarding.
\nEsau, you see there in verse 11.<\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:50,240 –> 00:02:54,400
\nOf chapter. 32 I fear him.
\nLest he will come and. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:54,400 –> 00:02:58,000
\nSmite me and the mother with the
\nchildren so you can. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:03,600
\nLink there chapter 32 verse 11
\nin your margin and chapter. 34 <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:03,920 –> 00:03:10,040
\nverse 30 So despite his.
\nJourney. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:13,480
\nWe find.
\nToday, Jacob is still <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:13,480 –> 00:03:15,640
\nstruggling.
\nWith the same old. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:15,640 –> 00:03:18,480
\nFears of destruction.
\nAt the hands of. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:18,480 –> 00:03:21,520
\nHis enemies.
\nAnd that’s how life goes on it. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:21,520 –> 00:03:22,560
\nDoesn’t it, brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:26,560
\nThat’s how life.
\nUnfolds in our own personal. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:26,560 –> 00:03:29,240
\nCircumstances we often find
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:29,240 –> 00:03:35,600
\nEstranged in in various.
\nDifficulties, perhaps? <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:39,760
\nYou’re in a very situation.
\nToday. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:40,680 –> 00:03:44,920
\nPerhaps you find?
\nYourself with a big problem and <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:44,920 –> 00:03:47,680
\nif you do.
\nAnd you find yourself in a <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:47,680 –> 00:03:50,600
\nsimilar.
\nSituation to Jacob today a <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:52,760
\nproblem.
\nThat you feel that you. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:52,760 –> 00:03:55,960
\nCan’t resolve yourself
\npersonally? <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:56,600 –> 00:03:58,040
\nWe’re going to find today a
\nlovely. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:58,040 –> 00:04:03,200
\nExcitation for you and for me.
\nIt’s God that can help. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:10,720
\nUs in these situations of Jacob
\nso with. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:10,720 –> 00:04:12,920
\nThis then come to Genesis
\nchapter 35. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:16,519 –> 00:04:19,240
\nSouth with the long.
\nChapter of Chapter 30. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:19,240 –> 00:04:22,000
\nFour and.
\nAll the problems that Jacob. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:22,000 –> 00:04:26,120
\nFinds himself in and the.
\nFears that he expresses I. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:26,120 –> 00:04:33,760
\nLove that chapter 35 begins with
\nand God said it is God <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:33,800 –> 00:04:36,720
\nintervenes.
\nIt is now God taking. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:36,720 –> 00:04:40,120
\nControl of Jacob’s situation.
\nWe’re going to see so many. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:40,120 –> 00:04:42,680
\nExcitations from this morning’s
\nstudy. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:43,520 –> 00:04:44,880
\nGod intervenes.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:44,880 –> 00:04:47,280
\nSpeaks directly to Jacob.
\nAnd says. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:47,440 –> 00:04:50,120
\nArise, go up to Bethel.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:50,120 –> 00:04:54,800
\nDwell there.
\nNow Jacob had been to. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,840
\nBethel 20 years earlier.
\nAnd it was. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:58,840 –> 00:05:00,960
\nThere wasn’t.
\nIt we remember in verse. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:00,960 –> 00:05:03,560
\nOne of Chapter 35, the.
\nChapter we’re looking at today <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:04,560 –> 00:05:07,560
\nthat when he went to Bethel the
\nfirst time, he was fearful of <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:07,560 –> 00:05:12,160
\nthe face of Esau and now he’s
\nfearful of other faces. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:12,160 –> 00:05:14,560
\nIt’s not Esau’s face.
\nIt’s. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:14,600 –> 00:05:16,560
\nOther faces.
\nAnd it was there at. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:16,560 –> 00:05:22,880
\nBethel, wasn’t it?
\nThat God assured him that he was<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:22,880 –> 00:05:25,560
\nwith him.
\nAnd that he wouldn’t leave him. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:26,680 –> 00:05:31,960
\nThat he would be divinely
\nprotected and somehow brothers <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:31,960 –> 00:05:32,600
\nand.
\nSisters. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:32,920 –> 00:05:36,880
\nThis this incredible
\nintervention in Jacob. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:36,880 –> 00:05:45,280
\n‘S life Jacob had forgotten.
\nAnd life for all of us is a <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:45,280 –> 00:05:46,720
\njourney, isn’t it, brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:47,040 –> 00:05:48,560
\nAs we’re.
\nGoing to see this morning. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:49,080 –> 00:05:51,760
\nThe journey of Jacob was a.
\nPilgrimage. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:52,400 –> 00:05:55,800
\nIt was a pilgrimage.
\nFrom Bethel to Bethel. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:56,840 –> 00:06:01,160
\nThese are two endpoints of his
\njourney. 2 great learnings that.<\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:01,160 –> 00:06:03,680
\nWe’re going to see today.
\nAnd our own. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:03,680 –> 00:06:07,680
\nLife I would suggest.
\nIn this. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:07,680 –> 00:06:12,160
\nWilderness of life is a.
\nPilgrimage from. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:12,400 –> 00:06:16,800
\nBethel to Bethel.
\nNow why do I say that? <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:17,440 –> 00:06:20,800
\nWell, throughout the life of
\nJacob, we have used other. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:20,800 –> 00:06:23,800
\nScripture, haven’t we?
\nAs a scriptural commentary. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:24,240 –> 00:06:26,480
\nTo.
\nProvide additional information <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:26,480 –> 00:06:28,080
\nand insight.
\nAs to what? <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:28,080 –> 00:06:29,600
\nIs taking place so.
\nI’d like us. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:31,640
\nTo go back to a familiar chapter
\nnow. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:32,320 –> 00:06:34,120
\nCome with me to Hosea.
\nChapter 12. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:44,220 –> 00:06:45,460
\nHosea.
\nChapter 12. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:46,580 –> 00:06:50,740
\nLet’s read the verses again.
\nWe’ll begin there in verse 3. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:52,340 –> 00:06:54,900
\nSo Jacob took his brother.
\nBy the heel in the womb. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:55,420 –> 00:06:57,420
\nAnd by his.
\nSprint strength he had. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:57,420 –> 00:07:00,340
\nPower with God.
\nAnd we remember the wrestling <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:00,340 –> 00:07:02,220
\nwith the Angel.
\nYeah, he had power over the <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:02,220 –> 00:07:04,380
\nAngel and prevailed.
\nNotice. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:04,980 –> 00:07:07,820
\nHe wept, and made supplication
\nhis weapons unto him. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:08,500 –> 00:07:13,800
\nAnd then?
\nThis mysterious phrase here he. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:13,800 –> 00:07:22,480
\nFound him in Bethel and there.
\nHe spake with us, even the Lord <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:22,480 –> 00:07:27,120
\nGod of hosts, Yahweh.
\nIs his memorial therefore. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:27,120 –> 00:07:30,800
\nTurn.
\nSo the message of Bethel was to <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:35,600
\nturn the idea to repent.
\nTherefore turn thou to thy. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:40,560
\nGod keep mercy and judgment, and
\nwait on thy God continually. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:40,720 –> 00:07:42,160
\nSo I.
\nWant you to to notice. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:42,160 –> 00:07:44,560
\nThat phrase there he.
\nFound him in Bethel. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:44,680 –> 00:07:48,280
\nHe found him.
\nHe was looking for God in all <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:48,280 –> 00:07:51,240
\nthe experiences that.
\nJacob had He’s still. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:51,440 –> 00:07:55,600
\nLooking for his?
\nGod, even though Jacob. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:59,200
\nHad been assured.
\nI am with you, Jacob. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:00,640
\nHere.
\nIn. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:00,640 –> 00:08:03,800
\nChapter 35 of Genesis.
\nIs still. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:04,480 –> 00:08:10,640
\nLooking and before we criticize.
\nNotice those words there? <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:10,640 –> 00:08:16,920
\nAt the end of verse.
\nFour there he spake with us. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:17,640 –> 00:08:18,600
\nIn other.
\nWords. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:18,880 –> 00:08:22,840
\nThis lesson that Jacob found.
\nYahweh at Bethel. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:23,480 –> 00:08:26,120
\nIs not a point.
\nFor us to criticize. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:26,640 –> 00:08:30,120
\nIt’s a lesson for all of us to
\ntake note of. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:31,360 –> 00:08:34,720
\nWell, isn’t this true?
\nWhen we’re baptized. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:34,720 –> 00:08:38,159
\nWe, we swear.
\nAn oath and we know. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:38,600 –> 00:08:40,760
\nGod is with us, but.
\nBut life. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:40,760 –> 00:08:42,960
\nThrows all kinds of problems.
\nAt. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:42,960 –> 00:08:45,040
\nUs and we forget.
\nWe forget. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:45,040 –> 00:08:48,200
\nThe oath that we made.
\nBut we need to be. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:48,200 –> 00:08:50,760
\nListening to God.
\nI am with you. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:51,840 –> 00:08:54,640
\nAnd sometimes brothers and.
\nSisters, our whole life in the <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:54,640 –> 00:08:59,240
\ntruth, our whole life in the
\ntruth, is a pilgrimage in search<\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:59,240 –> 00:09:00,040
\nof God.
\nTo. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:01,440 –> 00:09:04,920
\nFind him and she you should you
\nshould ask. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:04,920 –> 00:09:08,440
\nYourselves a very personal.
\nAnd probing question this <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:08,440 –> 00:09:10,200
\nmorning.
\nAre you still? <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:10,200 –> 00:09:19,400
\nSearching is this you today?
\nHave you found Yahweh? <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:25,440
\nTruly.
\nIn your life and if you have <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:25,440 –> 00:09:29,200
\nfound him in the past, have you
\nforgotten him? <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:33,000
\nAnd if that’s you and me this
\nmorning, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:33,440 –> 00:09:35,800
\nThen there’s a very big.
\nLesson that we’re going to find <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:38,680
\nin the.
\nLife of Jacob come back to <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:38,680 –> 00:09:40,720
\nGenesis chapter 35.
\nWhen we see. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:40,720 –> 00:09:45,560
\nHere that Jacob.
\nFinds himself in a compromised <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:46,120 –> 00:09:50,520
\nsituation and it’s not something
\nthat we would. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:50,520 –> 00:09:54,080
\nExpect a man.
\nWho was strengthened by God? <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:54,440 –> 00:09:57,640
\nTo wrestle an.
\nAngel one of the great. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:57,640 –> 00:10:01,840
\nMoments in history and, as we
\nsaid, messianically. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:02,560 –> 00:10:08,400
\nPsalm 20. 2 picks up this.
\nDescribing the battle, the <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:10,000
\nspiritual.
\nAnd the physical. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:13,880
\nBattle that the Lord Jesus.
\nChrist endured with his flesh. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:18,560
\nWe would not expect Jacob to be
\nhere. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:18,560 –> 00:10:23,280
\nToday in Chapter 35.
\nSo God intervenes. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:23,480 –> 00:10:25,720
\nGod now is beginning to take
\ncontrol. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:25,720 –> 00:10:28,960
\nOf Jacob’s life.
\nAnd verse 2 we read then Jacob. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:28,960 –> 00:10:34,920
\nSaid unto his household, and to.
\nAll that were with him put away.<\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:34,920 –> 00:10:37,000
\nThe strange gods that are among
\nyou. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:37,360 –> 00:10:42,280
\nAnd be clean and change.
\nYour garments put away. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:42,640 –> 00:10:48,840
\nYour strange gods, Rachel.
\nHad strange gods. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:53,360
\nThe Israelites had.
\nLooted the shechemites they had.<\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:53,360 –> 00:10:56,080
\nTaken out of the.
\nHomes these false gods. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:56,320 –> 00:10:58,600
\nAnd they?
\nHad hidden them within their own<\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:03,000
\nhomes and.
\nJacob now tells his family to <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:06,240
\nremove these false gods from
\nwithin their home. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:06,400 –> 00:11:10,760
\nNow remember in this situation,
\non this pilgrimage, on this <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:10,760 –> 00:11:15,920
\njourney to Beth.
\nEl Hosea says there he spake <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:16,040 –> 00:11:25,160
\nwith us, there he spake with us.
\nAnd the journey now commences. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:26,240 –> 00:11:30,440
\nAnd brothers and sisters.
\nWe all have idols. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:33,400
\nWe.
\nAll. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:38,080
\nHave idols there.
\nGod spake with us. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:39,400 –> 00:11:46,240
\nWe all have.
\nDistractions in this life and <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:46,240 –> 00:11:49,000
\nGod is saying.
\nYou’ve got them. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:49,880 –> 00:11:53,360
\nAnd I’ve got them.
\nThere’s no. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:53,360 –> 00:11:59,880
\nPerhaps we have and.
\nGod is saying to Jacob. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:00,480 –> 00:12:03,520
\nAnd he’s saying.
\nTo all of us put. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:03,760 –> 00:12:12,600
\nThem away and come and stay and
\nhave fellowship with me. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:13,440 –> 00:12:15,400
\nThat’s the lesson.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:16,640 –> 00:12:21,760
\nWe’ve got to get to Bethel.
\nNow this is incredibly. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:21,760 –> 00:12:24,680
\nSignificant because Jacob, now
\nhaving wrestled with an Angel, <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:24,840 –> 00:12:25,760
\nis now.
\nBearing. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:26,120 –> 00:12:28,040
\nA new name.
\nThe name. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:28,040 –> 00:12:29,120
\nOf.
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:33,080
\nA name that had been.
\nAssigned by the Angel himself. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:38,720
\nBut Jacob today.
\nFinds that he has problems <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:38,760 –> 00:12:44,800
\nwithin his home.
\nRachel had false gods. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:46,160 –> 00:12:48,760
\nAnd brothers and sisters did all
\nthe great things that Jacob was <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:48,760 –> 00:12:50,800
\ndoing in the vineyard of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:51,680 –> 00:13:01,360
\nHis wife had false gods, Jacob.
\nJacob wasn’t. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:01,360 –> 00:13:09,760
\nSpending enough time at home
\nwith his family and brothers and<\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:09,760 –> 00:13:11,600
\nsisters.
\nAnd perhaps I’m directing, <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:11,720 –> 00:13:15,480
\nparticularly this morning, to
\nthe brethren and first and <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:15,480 –> 00:13:20,600
\nforemost to myself.
\nSometimes we can be. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:25,560
\nSo busy, busy in the service of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:26,920 –> 00:13:30,160
\nAnd we get.
\nDistracted, and we lose sight of<\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:32,760
\nour first.
\nEcclesia and our. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:32,760 –> 00:13:39,880
\nFirst, Ecclesia is our home.
\nOur partner, our wife, and if <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:39,880 –> 00:13:44,120
\nwe’ve been.
\nBlessed our children and they. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:45,080 –> 00:13:49,440
\nBefore ecclesial duties.
\nAnd responsibilities are our <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:49,520 –> 00:13:55,160
\npriority.
\nThere he spake with us, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:56,560 –> 00:14:01,760
\nbrethren, we should be opening
\nour Scriptures each day. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:04,480
\nWe should be.
\nGathering our families. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:04,480 –> 00:14:08,800
\nTogether we should be.
\nReading God’s Word, the daily <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:08,800 –> 00:14:13,840
\nreadings and instilling God’s
\nWord into our children’s hearts.<\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:15,080 –> 00:14:18,600
\nThe responsibility that we have.
\nTo our wives of. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:18,600 –> 00:14:20,920
\nWashing her daily in the.
\nWaters. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:20,920 –> 00:14:29,160
\nOf life there he spake with us.
\nAnd here God is saying, Come <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:29,160 –> 00:14:32,640
\nback, Jacob, come back and dwell
\nwith me. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:33,640 –> 00:14:36,920
\nYou may have forgotten.
\nYou may have forgotten in this <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:36,920 –> 00:14:39,880
\ndistant past that I am with you.
\nBut I’ve not forgotten. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:40,080 –> 00:14:42,400
\nI have not changed.
\nYou may have changed. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:42,400 –> 00:14:47,480
\nJacob, but I haven’t.
\nPut away the strange gods. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:49,240 –> 00:14:51,600
\nAnd so there’s a little.
\nFormula in all of this. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:54,640 –> 00:14:59,840
\nThe way to get rid of the false
\ngods. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:59,880 –> 00:15:03,680
\nIn our life.
\nThe way to get rid of the. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:03,680 –> 00:15:09,720
\nFalse gods in our life.
\nIs to dwell with God in Bethel <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:12,760 –> 00:15:17,520
\nthe way to get rid of the false?
\nGods in our life. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:18,480 –> 00:15:23,920
\nIs to dwell with God.
\nIn Bethel now what we’re going <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:23,920 –> 00:15:28,200
\nto see now, Jacob responds to
\nthis and he brings his family <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:32,480
\ntogether and together as a
\nfamily he takes Dinah with him, <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:38,160
\nLevi and Simeon and as a family
\nunit now they make. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:38,160 –> 00:15:42,880
\nTheir way to Bethel.
\nAnd he finally enters a land <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:43,360 –> 00:15:48,640
\nthat he left 20 years.
\nEarlier. 1st 6 then of chapter. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:52,880
\n35.
\nSo Jacob came to Luz, which is <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:52,880 –> 00:15:56,040
\nin the land of Canaan, that is.
\nBethel The significance of <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:56,040 –> 00:15:58,200
\nBethel we’ve already seen this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:58,320 –> 00:16:00,840
\nHe and all the people.
\nThat were with him and he built.<\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:00,840 –> 00:16:02,800
\nThere an altar and called.
\nThe place. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:03,080 –> 00:16:08,760
\nF Bethel, because there.
\nYou can underline. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:08,760 –> 00:16:11,960
\nThat word there because there.
\nGod appeared unto. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:11,960 –> 00:16:14,680
\nHim when he fled.
\nFrom the face of his brother. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:15,000 –> 00:16:17,160
\nSee the face there?
\nThe face. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:17,160 –> 00:16:19,320
\nThere in verse 7, the.
\nFace of his brother. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:19,560 –> 00:16:22,200
\nAnd now connected to to verse
\none. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:22,320 –> 00:16:24,480
\nThe face of.
\nEsau, his brother. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:24,600 –> 00:16:27,600
\nIt’s reminding.
\nUs that this was the place that <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:27,600 –> 00:16:30,200
\nhe fled to.
\nWhen he was fearful of the face <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:33,480
\nface of Esau, and he’s fearful
\nof other faces now, it’s no <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:33,480 –> 00:16:38,480
\nlonger the face of Esau, it’s
\nthe faces of all the nations <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:38,480 –> 00:16:41,640
\nthat surround him.
\nThere are other. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:41,640 –> 00:16:47,520
\nProblems in his life and
\nbrothers and sisters in our own <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:47,520 –> 00:16:51,400
\nlives.
\nThings begin to slip, don’t <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:51,400 –> 00:16:53,680
\nthey?
\nThings happen. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:55,200 –> 00:16:59,720
\nCircumstances change.
\nSometimes it’s our own doing, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:00,040 –> 00:17:03,960
\nother times it’s not.
\nAnd suddenly, when things were <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:03,960 –> 00:17:08,680
\ngoing so well, when we had power
\nwith God and we had the strength<\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:08,680 –> 00:17:12,200
\nof the Almighty to wrestle with
\nthe Angel, suddenly we’re <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:12,200 –> 00:17:16,160
\nreduced to nothing and we find
\nourselves in a mess. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:17,560 –> 00:17:22,160
\nIn a mess.
\nAnd if you find yourself in a <\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:22,160 –> 00:17:28,040
\nmess, you get yourself and your
\nfamily to Bethel. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:29,000 –> 00:17:30,600
\nThat’s the lesson we’re going to
\nsee this morning. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:32,280 –> 00:17:34,520
\nYou get.
\nYourself and your family. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:34,840 –> 00:17:37,360
\nTo Bethel.
\nLet’s look at this. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:37,360 –> 00:17:41,960
\nThen the name Bethel.
\nAs we have seen, is the House of<\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:41,960 –> 00:17:48,520
\nGod and now the House of God.
\nIs renamed there in verse. 7. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:54,960
\nAnd it becomes.
\nEl Bethel Ale of the House of <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:54,960 –> 00:18:03,040
\nGod, Ale of the House of God,
\nThe power, the strength of the <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:06,160
\nHouse of Ale.
\nNot only is it the. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:06,160 –> 00:18:08,480
\nHouse of God.
\nThe dwelling place of God. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:08,640 –> 00:18:11,520
\nBut it becomes now the.
\nEmbodiment of God’s immense. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:11,520 –> 00:18:15,600
\nPower and strength.
\nOnce it was a distant, a simple <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:15,600 –> 00:18:19,120
\ndestination where where Jacob
\nfled from the face of Esau. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:20,120 –> 00:18:26,400
\nBut now this place becomes a
\ntestament to the formidable and <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:26,400 –> 00:18:35,200
\nthe life changing power of God
\nin his life. 20 years had passed<\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:42,000
\nand now he’s back in Bethel.
\nAnd we read in in chapter 32 <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:42,000 –> 00:18:45,040
\nverse.
\nTen that when? <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:45,040 –> 00:18:46,960
\nHe goes to Bethel the.
\nFirst time. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:47,840 –> 00:18:50,920
\nHe goes just with his stuff.
\nHe’s there. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:50,920 –> 00:18:57,000
\nAlone, just holding his stuff.
\nAnd now he’s in Bethel, and God <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:58,840 –> 00:19:01,000
\nhas been.
\nCommitted to his vow. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:03,080 –> 00:19:07,480
\nAnd he’s with his wives and his
\nfamily, his great. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:07,480 –> 00:19:12,080
\nFlock.
\nAnd his wealth and those <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:12,080 –> 00:19:15,520
\nintervening.
\nYears God has blessed him. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:19,960 –> 00:19:22,440
\nAnd as we reflect for a moment
\nand we think about our own <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:22,440 –> 00:19:26,480
\nlives, our own journey in Christ
\nfrom the moment that we were. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:26,480 –> 00:19:28,560
\nBaptized.
\nJust take. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:28,560 –> 00:19:31,800
\nA moment now, brothers and
\nsisters, to think about the. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:31,880 –> 00:19:35,160
\nBlessings that the Lord.
\nHas showered upon you. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:37,120 –> 00:19:40,960
\nJust think for a moment.
\nThat you began life. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:42,960 –> 00:19:46,120
\nAs a baptized brother or.
\nSister holding your. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:46,120 –> 00:19:48,840
\nStaff with just the Lord with
\nyou. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:52,800
\nAnd yes, of course.
\nThey’ve been highs and lows, <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:53,120 –> 00:19:57,560
\ncrests and troughs in your life,
\nbut think about the blessing. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:58,040 –> 00:20:00,720
\nYou’re here today.
\nWith God’s Word open. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:04,120
\nThink about the blessings.
\nThe Lord has showered. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:04,120 –> 00:20:08,520
\nUpon you and showered upon me.
\nAnd if we’re struggling, <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:08,520 –> 00:20:10,120
\nbrothers?
\nAnd sisters, if you’re sat. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:10,120 –> 00:20:12,960
\nThere in your chair and you’re
\nstruggling to think about one <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:12,960 –> 00:20:15,320
\nsingle blessing.
\nThen I encourage you just to <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:15,320 –> 00:20:18,080
\nlook around and see all the
\nsmiling faces. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:18,240 –> 00:20:20,480
\nThat’s a blessing.
\nYou’re not alone. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:23,080 –> 00:20:25,120
\nYou’re in the.
\nHousehold of faith fellow. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:25,120 –> 00:20:29,480
\nBrothers and sisters,
\ncompanions, comrades on this <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:29,480 –> 00:20:33,040
\njourney of life to God’s coming
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:33,360 –> 00:20:39,160
\nYou see how your initial?
\nSteps have blossomed well there <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:39,160 –> 00:20:46,160
\nwe see in verse 10.
\nAnd God said unto him, Thy name <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:46,160 –> 00:20:49,840
\nis Jacob.
\nThy name shall. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:49,840 –> 00:20:53,120
\nNot be called anymore Jacob.
\nBut Israel shall be thy. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:53,120 –> 00:20:55,880
\nName.
\nAnd he called his name Israel. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:55,880 –> 00:20:57,840
\nJust reflect upon those words
\nfor a moment. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:58,840 –> 00:21:00,400
\nAnd you see there in.
\nVerse 9. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:00,520 –> 00:21:04,200
\nThat it says that when?
\nHe called that place. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:04,280 –> 00:21:08,680
\nETH Bethel that God appeared
\nunto him, and. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:10,320 –> 00:21:14,920
\nWhen God appears unto him.
\nGod says to him that his name <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:15,040 –> 00:21:18,720
\nis.
\nJacob Well, that’s. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:18,720 –> 00:21:19,880
\nInteresting, isn’t it?
\nBecause. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:20,000 –> 00:21:21,760
\nWe saw.
\nDidn’t we? <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:21,760 –> 00:21:23,800
\nAnd you can just.
\nGo back if you want to chapter. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:28,560
\n32 and verse 28, where we read
\nthat the Angel said, Thy name <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:28,560 –> 00:21:30,800
\nshall be called.
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:35,120 –> 00:21:40,320
\nThy name shall no more.
\nBe called Jacob, but here in <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:40,320 –> 00:21:46,760
\nchapter 35 the Angel.
\nSays thy name is Jacob. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:47,600 –> 00:21:49,000
\nAnd perhaps it’s worth
\nunderlining. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:55,840
\nThe word is he had been named,
\nbut what’s taking place now is <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:55,840 –> 00:21:58,440
\nthat the name?
\nIs confirmed. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:02,160
\nNot by an Angel that was
\nwrestling. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:02,160 –> 00:22:07,120
\nWith him in chapter 32.
\nBut by God himself in the form <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:07,120 –> 00:22:10,400
\nof an Angel.
\nBut it’s stressing that it’s God<\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:11,200
\nnow.
\nThat. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:14,320
\nSays to him thy name.
\nIs. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:14,880 –> 00:22:18,600
\nJacob the message here, brothers
\nand sisters, is emphatic and <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:21,360
\nit’s direct.
\nAnd the Angel is saying. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:26,320
\nHere.
\nJacob when the Angel wrestled. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:26,320 –> 00:22:29,280
\nWith you.
\nYour name was changed from. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:29,280 –> 00:22:33,280
\nJacob to Israel.
\nAnd I’ve been watching you. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:34,320 –> 00:22:37,880
\nI’ve been carefully watching you
\nwith the Shechemites and the <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:37,880 –> 00:22:41,120
\nsituation that you found
\nyourself with Dinah and Levi and<\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:41,120 –> 00:22:44,080
\nSimeon.
\nAnd you’ve behaved like Jacob, <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:44,760 –> 00:22:47,000
\nand you’ve come down here like
\nJacob. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:47,240 –> 00:22:50,400
\nAnd I’m reminding you in the
\nHouse of Bethel that your name <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:56,600
\nis Israel.
\nYou see the point? <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:57,440 –> 00:22:58,680
\nIt’s more.
\nThan a name. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:00,360 –> 00:23:03,200
\nThe name.
\nExpresses or should expect <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:03,360 –> 00:23:10,520
\nexpress a character a Prince
\nwith God fellowship with him. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:11,840 –> 00:23:13,280
\nAs we.
\nSaw a father and. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:13,280 –> 00:23:18,200
\nSon in this.
\nLovely picture of intimacy, <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:19,160 –> 00:23:21,920
\nfamily life.
\nWhere a father? <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:21,920 –> 00:23:25,920
\nStrengthens his son in order for
\nthat strunt to prevail against <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:25,920 –> 00:23:27,520
\nhis enemies.
\nWe we’ve seen that. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:28,440 –> 00:23:31,960
\nWhat are you doing, Jacob?
\nWhy are you? <\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:31,960 –> 00:23:34,560
\nBehaving like Jacob.
\nThe heel catcher. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:35,960 –> 00:23:43,520
\nWhen your name is Israel.
\nSo it’s interesting and we need <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:43,520 –> 00:23:45,800
\nto.
\nNotice this that at Bethel. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:46,920 –> 00:23:49,880
\nThe name now becomes a divine
\nact. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:51,360 –> 00:23:54,400
\nIt’s God the Angel.
\nSaid at the Wrestling. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:55,040 –> 00:23:57,400
\nYour name will be called.
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:58,040 –> 00:24:00,960
\nBut now it’s emphatic, a divine
\nact. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:08,440
\nTakes place at Bethel.
\nYour name is Israel and his name<\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:09,120 –> 00:24:12,680
\nis Israel.
\nAt Bethel. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:16,200 –> 00:24:19,880
\nSo with that.
\nIn mind, with his name now being<\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:19,880 –> 00:24:26,360
\nconfirmed from God.
\nThat it’s Israel isn’t. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:26,360 –> 00:24:30,080
\nIt interesting that now God.
\nSays who he he is. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:30,760 –> 00:24:33,720
\nVerse 11 then.
\nOf Chapter 35 and. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:33,720 –> 00:24:37,160
\nGod said unto him, I am God
\nAlmighty. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:37,280 –> 00:24:39,680
\nBe fruitful and multiply.
\nNow I want you just to. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:39,880 –> 00:24:41,960
\nAgain, think a little bit.
\nAbout that. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:42,320 –> 00:24:45,320
\nWhy does God say to him, I am
\nGod Almighty? <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:45,480 –> 00:24:48,680
\nAnd there’s a real play.
\nYour Name is Israel. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:49,480 –> 00:24:52,080
\nAnd my name is God Almighty when
\nhave. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:52,080 –> 00:24:53,960
\nWe seen that little exchange.
\nBefore. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:54,360 –> 00:24:59,200
\nYour name is Israel and.
\nMy name is God Almighty, or <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:03,200
\nremember that title there, God.
\nAlmighty is El Shadi I. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:05,640
\nWhich we’re going to think about
\nin a moment. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:06,320 –> 00:25:09,080
\nBut have a look back.
\nBecause this is really lovely. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:09,200 –> 00:25:17,760
\nCome back to chapter. 32 So
\nverse 28 says thy. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:17,760 –> 00:25:21,160
\nName shall be called No.
\nMore Jacob, but Israel OK. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:22,200 –> 00:25:24,080
\nSo that’s linking with Genesis
\n35. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:24,920 –> 00:25:27,320
\nYour name shall.
\nBe called Israel and the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:27,320 –> 00:25:30,720
\nconfirmation is made in chapter.
\n35 AB Bethel your name. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:30,760 –> 00:25:33,040
\nIs Israel.
\nBut then something happens. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:33,040 –> 00:25:34,440
\nThere.
\nVerse 29. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:34,560 –> 00:25:37,800
\nNow, Jacob.
\nTakes the initiative and Jacob <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:37,840 –> 00:25:40,040
\nasked the Angel and said tell me
\nI. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:40,040 –> 00:25:44,960
\nPray thee thy.
\nName and he said wherefore. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:44,960 –> 00:25:48,400
\nIs it that thou does?
\nAsk after my name and he blessed<\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:48,400 –> 00:25:50,080
\nhim there, so isn’t it
\ninteresting? <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:50,360 –> 00:25:52,120
\nThat when?
\nThe Angel was wrestling with <\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:52,120 –> 00:25:54,240
\nJacob.
\nHe did not share. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:54,240 –> 00:25:58,240
\nHe did not disclose his name,
\nbut now the Angel discloses his <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:58,240 –> 00:26:01,600
\nname at Bethel and he says I am
\nEl Shaddai you. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:02,760 –> 00:26:05,240
\nSee that?
\nYou are Israel. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:05,680 –> 00:26:13,920
\nAnd I am El Shaddai.
\nFinally, the Angel, the name <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:13,920 –> 00:26:18,960
\nbearing Angel, reveals himself.
\nThe Angel that is working. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:18,960 –> 00:26:21,200
\nIn the.
\nLife of Jacob. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:22,760 –> 00:26:27,760
\nReveals himself.
\nAs El Shadi I bearing. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:27,760 –> 00:26:30,000
\nThe name of El Shadi.
\nI that’s the idea there. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:30,360 –> 00:26:31,760
\nOf course it wasn’t.
\nEl Shadi I. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:35,240
\nBut it’s the Angel bearing the
\nname. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:35,240 –> 00:26:39,000
\nOf El Shadi I in the life of
\nJacob. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:40,640 –> 00:26:43,080
\nSo it said.
\nBethel that the Angel reveals <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:43,080 –> 00:26:44,080
\nhimself.
\nNow let’s just. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:44,080 –> 00:26:45,960
\nGo on a little.
\nJourney here because this is <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:45,960 –> 00:26:48,120
\nfascinating now so.
\nIt’s the El Shadi eye. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:48,320 –> 00:26:50,280
\nLet’s now think about the
\nnarrative. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:50,480 –> 00:26:53,080
\nAround El Shadi eye.
\nCome back then and we’ve. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:53,080 –> 00:26:56,240
\nBeen to all these little.
\nSignposts come back then to <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:56,240 –> 00:27:08,380
\nchapter. 28, Chapter 28.
\nSo there’s a reason. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:09,620 –> 00:27:14,340
\nWhy God reveals himself here?
\nAs El Shadi eye at Bethel <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:14,860 –> 00:27:17,160
\nbecause.
\nThere’s a story. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:17,720 –> 00:27:19,760
\nThere’s a.
\nStory being revealed to Jacob. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:20,520 –> 00:27:22,920
\nSo in chapter 28 then we see
\nhere. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:23,160 –> 00:27:25,440
\nAnd El.
\nShadi, I God Almighty, bless <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:25,440 –> 00:27:29,800
\nthee and make thee fruit.
\nFor So what is this? <\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:29,840 –> 00:27:31,160
\nWell, we’ve seen this, haven’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:31,160 –> 00:27:35,480
\nChapter 28 Verse. 3.
\nIs how Isaac now blesses Jacob. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:35,480 –> 00:27:40,760
\nNow that’s significant, Isaac.
\nUses El Shadi I20. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:40,760 –> 00:27:44,720
\nYears earlier when?
\nJacob is about to flee from the <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:44,720 –> 00:27:51,440
\nface of Esau, and the message
\nthat Isaac leaves Jacob with is <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:51,640 –> 00:27:53,480
\nas.
\nYou go on your journey as you <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:53,480 –> 00:27:58,520
\nmake your way in life, Jacob.
\nEl Shaddai is with you, OK? <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:59,080 –> 00:28:02,120
\nSee that?
\nWell, let’s go even earlier. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:02,120 –> 00:28:04,400
\nNow.
\nTo chapter. 17 and we’ve been <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:04,400 –> 00:28:06,400
\nhere, but we’re now just pulling
\nall. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:11,040
\nThese threads together.
\nChapter 17 and verse. 1. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:11,960 –> 00:28:13,840
\nAnd when?
\nAbraham was 90 years old. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:13,840 –> 00:28:16,800
\nAnd nine Yahweh of Peter
\nAbraham, and said unto him. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:16,920 –> 00:28:19,760
\nI am El Shadi.
\nI walk before me. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:19,960 –> 00:28:23,120
\nBe thou perfect and chapter 17
\nis. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:23,120 –> 00:28:27,320
\nPart of the covenant promises.
\nAnd the covenant was made, <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:27,320 –> 00:28:29,600
\nwasn’t it?
\nThe covenant was made. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:30,760 –> 00:28:32,560
\nSo that is really.
\nInteresting. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:33,760 –> 00:28:35,840
\nThere’s like a little.
\nSequence that’s going on here. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:36,640 –> 00:28:46,760
\nEl Shadi I appears to Abraham.
\nAnd tells him of the promise. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:49,000 –> 00:28:53,920
\nIsaac picks up Genesis 17 and
\nsays. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:53,920 –> 00:29:00,400
\nTo Jacob, as he leaves the
\nhouse, Remember, Remember Jacob,<\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:01,680 –> 00:29:05,400
\nthis is what life.
\n‘S all about Genesis 17. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:06,200 –> 00:29:08,120
\nAs Al Shadi, I was with
\nGranddad. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:10,040 –> 00:29:13,920
\nHe’s now with you and now we go
\n20 years. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:13,920 –> 00:29:17,800
\nLater and the same El.
\nShaddai that was with. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:17,800 –> 00:29:21,360
\nAbraham in Genesis 17 and the
\nsame El. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:21,360 –> 00:29:25,160
\nShaddai that Isaac blesses Jacob
\nwith. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:25,840 –> 00:29:30,320
\nIs the same El Shaddai that’s
\nbeen with him all his life? <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:30,320 –> 00:29:33,600
\nCan you see that, brothers and
\nsisters, God has not changed. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:34,920 –> 00:29:39,760
\nAnd for Jacob, these 20 long
\nintervening years, and he’d <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:39,760 –> 00:29:43,760
\ngiven the blessing back to Esau.
\nAnd he finds himself in such a <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:43,760 –> 00:29:48,520
\nsituation with his family.
\nThis is not the kind of family a<\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:48,520 –> 00:29:50,880
\nman should.
\nHave Who wrestles with God? <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:52,000 –> 00:29:55,120
\nHe’s been reduced to nothing.
\nHe’s a shame amongst the <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:55,120 –> 00:30:00,400
\nnations.
\nAnd God says to him, Jacob, it <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:00,400 –> 00:30:03,120
\ndoesn’t matter.
\nIt doesn’t matter about your <\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:03,120 –> 00:30:05,000
\nfamily.
\nIt doesn’t matter about the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:05,000 –> 00:30:08,080
\nthings that are going wrong.
\nEl Shadi I. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:09,120 –> 00:30:11,680
\nHe’s still with you.
\nHe still loves you. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:13,280 –> 00:30:19,960
\nThe blessings are still.
\nFlowing through you 20 years. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:19,960 –> 00:30:22,200
\nIs enough, isn’t it?
\nIt’s time enough. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:22,440 –> 00:30:24,400
\nTo fill any man with
\nuncertainty. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:25,120 –> 00:30:31,120
\nIt’s only natural.
\nThere God spake with us. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:33,360 –> 00:30:37,000
\nDo you feel like?
\nThat do you, brothers and <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:37,000 –> 00:30:40,280
\nsisters.
\nWhen we’re baptized, we know <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:40,280 –> 00:30:43,960
\nthat we are the recipients of
\nthe promise we put on the Lord. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:44,280 –> 00:30:46,280
\nJesus.
\nChrist, but as life goes. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:46,280 –> 00:30:50,200
\nOn perhaps we do tend to.
\nForget we. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:50,200 –> 00:30:55,920
\nEncounter the problems, the real
\ndowns and we make mistakes and <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:55,920 –> 00:30:59,040
\nthings happen in our lives.
\nAnd we feel. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:59,040 –> 00:31:03,920
\nShameful.
\nAnd then do we begin to doubt? <\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:05,160 –> 00:31:07,040
\nThat our.
\nPlace in God’s Kingdom. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:07,360 –> 00:31:10,520
\nIs in jeopardy.
\nThis is exactly what was <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:10,520 –> 00:31:13,080
\nhappening to Jacob.
\nHe’d received all the blessings.<\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:13,160 –> 00:31:17,080
\nHe finds himself in a total mess
\nand God says come down to Bethel<\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:17,480 –> 00:31:19,000
\nand then.
\nGod tells him. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:20,880 –> 00:31:23,400
\nThe same message.
\nThat he told him all the way <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:23,400 –> 00:31:25,480
\nthrough his life.
\nI’m with you. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:26,600 –> 00:31:29,360
\nI’m going to bless you.
\nI’m going to bless you. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:30,880 –> 00:31:32,440
\nAnd it’s incredibly important.
\nBrothers and. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:32,440 –> 00:31:34,440
\nSisters.
\nBecause up to this point in <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:34,440 –> 00:31:36,840
\ntime.
\nWhen we come to chapter 34. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:37,520 –> 00:31:42,800
\nHis life.
\nWas heading for disaster life <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:42,800 –> 00:31:44,480
\ndoesn’t get.
\nEasier does it. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:45,760 –> 00:31:47,880
\nBut we’ve seen it time and time
\nagain with. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:47,880 –> 00:31:49,920
\nJacob and with other Bible.
\nCharacters. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:50,160 –> 00:31:53,680
\nThat.
\nGod saves the faithful in. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:53,760 –> 00:31:57,600
\nTheir problems God saves us
\namidst. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:57,680 –> 00:32:05,080
\nThe flames and God was telling
\nJacob that not only was his name<\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:05,120 –> 00:32:10,000
\nIsrael.
\nBut the promises were his. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:11,120 –> 00:32:16,800
\nAnd he was assured.
\nOf the Kingdom, that’s <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:16,800 –> 00:32:18,840
\nsomething.
\nReally, to latch on to brothers <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:18,840 –> 00:32:21,800
\nand sisters his.
\nLife was a mess. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:23,160 –> 00:32:26,040
\nAnd he comes down to Bethel.
\nWith his. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:26,040 –> 00:32:33,800
\nFamily and the Angel.
\nThe AL Shadi I tells Jacob you <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:34,600 –> 00:32:39,080
\nhave.
\nThe Kingdom, Whatever is going <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:39,080 –> 00:32:42,640
\non around you, you have the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:44,520 –> 00:32:48,560
\nIt’s our Father’s good pleasure.
\nTo give us the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:50,360 –> 00:32:54,000
\nAnd although we see these
\namazing moments where Jacob <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:59,720
\nwrestles with an Angel, who of
\nus can emulate that none of. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:33:00,040 –> 00:33:05,880
\nUS.
\nBut we can empathize today, <\/p>\n

497
\n00:33:05,880 –> 00:33:08,960
\ncan’t we?
\nYou know, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:08,960 –> 00:33:11,640
\nGod is not looking for.
\nPerfect people and perfect <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:11,640 –> 00:33:14,160
\nlives.
\nGod is not. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:14,160 –> 00:33:16,320
\nLooking for perfect?
\nPeople and perfect lives. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:17,480 –> 00:33:20,520
\nAnd this is the point where God
\nspake. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:20,640 –> 00:33:25,040
\nTo us, Jacob’s life was a
\ndisaster. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:26,680 –> 00:33:31,200
\nHe wasn’t living a perfect life,
\nand he certainly wasn’t a <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:36,080
\nperfect man.
\nBut God gives him assurance. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:36,280 –> 00:33:41,360
\nBrothers and sisters, let’s get
\nourselves to Beth El. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:43,760 –> 00:33:49,920
\nCome back to Chapter 35.
\nSo we. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:50,440 –> 00:33:53,800
\nBegan this morning by seeing how
\nGod intervened. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:53,800 –> 00:33:56,840
\nHe said unto to Jacob those
\nwords in verse 1 and now. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:56,840 –> 00:34:01,240
\nWe see how God.
\nBegins to do everything now for <\/p>\n

510
\n00:34:01,240 –> 00:34:04,480
\nJacob.
\nHe does everything now for. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:04,480 –> 00:34:07,800
\nJacob, he takes now total
\ncontrol. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:08,960 –> 00:34:12,639
\nLook at these phrases.
\nHere verse 9 of chapter. 35. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:12,920 –> 00:34:15,520
\nAnd God.
\nAppeared unto Jacob again, <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:16,040 –> 00:34:20,360
\nVerse. 10 And God said unto him,
\nverse 13. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:20,360 –> 00:34:22,480
\nAnd God went up from.
\nHim in the place. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:22,639 –> 00:34:24,920
\nWhere he talked.
\nWith him when? <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:24,920 –> 00:34:27,639
\nJacob’s life was.
\nIn a mess. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:28,239 –> 00:34:31,800
\nGod stepped in and he does the
\nsame, doesn’t he? <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:31,800 –> 00:34:36,159
\nFor all of us.
\nWhen our lives are a mess. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:41,560
\nWe’ve got to let our God.
\nStep in and He wants to step <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:41,560 –> 00:34:43,520
\ninto our lives and he.
\nWants to. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:43,520 –> 00:34:47,320
\nAssure us of his.
\nKingdom and isn’t it interesting<\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:47,320 –> 00:34:49,239
\nif we do reflect upon our lives
\nand. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:49,320 –> 00:34:51,080
\nPerhaps we’ve had ecclesial.
\nProblems. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:34:51,239 –> 00:34:52,960
\nPerhaps we’ve had domestic
\nproblems. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:34:53,639 –> 00:34:56,000
\nDifficulties with our.
\nChildren and we prayed. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:34:56,000 –> 00:34:57,720
\nAbout it.
\nHow many times in our? <\/p>\n

528
\n00:34:57,720 –> 00:34:58,680
\nLives where?
\nWhere? <\/p>\n

529
\n00:34:58,680 –> 00:35:01,080
\nSuddenly, unexpectedly,
\nsomething happens. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:01,240 –> 00:35:06,240
\nThat’s that’s so positive that
\nthat God leads us. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:06,760 –> 00:35:08,000
\nIn a certain.
\nDirection. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:09,080 –> 00:35:11,440
\nHave you had that experience?
\nI’m. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:11,480 –> 00:35:12,800
\nSure you have.
\nI have. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:14,480 –> 00:35:19,480
\nOut of the blue, suddenly,
\nunexpectedly, we’re given <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:19,480 –> 00:35:22,480
\nguidance.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:22,480 –> 00:35:25,120
\nGuidance can come from SO.
\nMany different sources. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:26,240 –> 00:35:28,520
\nAnd we’re so thankful for it.
\nAnd this is. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:28,520 –> 00:35:37,200
\nWhat it’s all about.
\nOf going back to Bethel if we <\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:37,200 –> 00:35:40,400
\nthink for a moment about Jacob
\ngoing to Bethel. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:40,400 –> 00:35:41,640
\nWe.
\nWe really don’t we. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:35:42,560 –> 00:35:44,240
\nWhen he went there the first
\ntime. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:35:45,680 –> 00:35:50,120
\nHe saw God.
\nFace to face, that’s. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:35:50,120 –> 00:35:58,320
\nWhy he names the place Peniel,
\nbut he never made God? <\/p>\n

544
\n00:35:58,320 –> 00:36:02,520
\nLike this before, did he?
\nThere was no wrestling Angel <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:02,520 –> 00:36:06,000
\nhere when he came.
\nFace to face with God. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:06,680 –> 00:36:11,280
\nPreviously at Peniel, this was
\nan altogether different <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:11,280 –> 00:36:13,760
\nexperience, wasn’t it?
\nThis was a a loving and a. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:15,280
\nA very.
\nPersonal. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:15,720 –> 00:36:19,000
\nAn incredibly personal God.
\nI just want you to notice. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:19,000 –> 00:36:23,080
\nSome connections here the last
\ntime. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:23,280 –> 00:36:26,000
\nJacob came face to face.
\nWith an Angel with. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:26,000 –> 00:36:28,560
\nGod, he wrestled all night.
\nBut this is an altogether <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:28,840 –> 00:36:30,720
\ndifferent.
\nExperience. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:32,560 –> 00:36:34,880
\nAnd and I don’t know.
\nWhether you’ve noticed, but this<\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:34,920 –> 00:36:36,680
\nreinforces the message that’s
\nbeing. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:36:36,680 –> 00:36:40,560
\nExpressed at Bethel want you.
\nTo look at the screen here and <\/p>\n

557
\n00:36:40,560 –> 00:36:42,480
\nsee the.
\nConnections between Genesis <\/p>\n

558
\n00:36:42,480 –> 00:36:46,480
\nchapter 20. 8.
\nAnd Genesis chapter 30. 5. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:36:47,480 –> 00:36:50,680
\nAnd what we’re seeing.
\nHere is that the message. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:36:51,200 –> 00:36:55,640
\nThat he receives in chapter 35.
\nIs the language of Isaac. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:36:56,800 –> 00:37:00,560
\nYou’ve got words here like
\nfruitful multiplied multitude of<\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:00,560 –> 00:37:02,920
\npeople.
\nAnd the land? <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:04,920 –> 00:37:09,760
\nIt is Isaac.
\nLanguage it is. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:09,800 –> 00:37:12,360
\nAll.
\nIsaac Language. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:14,520 –> 00:37:16,480
\nAnd it’s here with all this
\nIsaac. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:16,480 –> 00:37:20,000
\nLanguage that the Angel is
\nexpressing here, verse 13. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:20,000 –> 00:37:23,240
\nWe, we, we read these.
\nWords and God went up from him <\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:23,240 –> 00:37:26,000
\nin the place.
\nWhere he talked with him. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:27,880 –> 00:37:30,680
\nSo it’s here at Bethel where the
\nAngel expresses. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:30,680 –> 00:37:33,640
\nThese words of.
\nIsaac that the angels mission <\/p>\n

571
\n00:37:33,640 –> 00:37:38,480
\nnow is completed, that the Angel
\nhad told him before that he was <\/p>\n

572
\n00:37:38,480 –> 00:37:40,760
\nnever going to leave him, and
\nnow he leaves. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:37:40,760 –> 00:37:45,080
\nHim after 20 years.
\nThe Angel had fulfilled his. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:37:45,080 –> 00:37:46,920
\nPromise.
\nGo back to chapter 20. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:37:46,920 –> 00:37:50,920
\nEight to see this.
\nThe first. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:37:50,920 –> 00:37:54,960
\nTime he was at Bethel.
\nAnd notice these words in verse <\/p>\n

577
\n00:37:54,960 –> 00:37:58,360
\n15 of chapter 28, the Angel
\nsays. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:37:58,960 –> 00:38:03,080
\nThat he would be with.
\nHim until I have done that which<\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:03,080 –> 00:38:04,440
\nI have.
\nSpoken of thee notice. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:04,440 –> 00:38:06,440
\nThat in verse 15.
\nUntil I have done. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:06,440 –> 00:38:08,920
\nThat which I have.
\nSpoken of thee and now then <\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:08,920 –> 00:38:11,560
\nclearly.
\nWhen we come to Chapter 35, the <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:11,560 –> 00:38:17,800
\nwork was done.
\nAnd this is proved later if you <\/p>\n

584
\n00:38:17,800 –> 00:38:23,720
\ngo to Genesis.
\nChapter. 48 We’re here. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:38:24,680 –> 00:38:27,720
\nWhen he’s blessing Joseph’s boys
\non his deathbed, which we’ll <\/p>\n

586
\n00:38:27,720 –> 00:38:31,720
\nconsider tomorrow, God willing.
\nAnd you? <\/p>\n

587
\n00:38:31,720 –> 00:38:37,080
\nSee the words there?
\nIn verse 16, the Angel which <\/p>\n

588
\n00:38:37,080 –> 00:38:43,600
\nredeemed me from.
\nAll evil, bless the lads. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:38:45,760 –> 00:38:46,800
\nSo the.
\nWork that was done. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:38:46,800 –> 00:38:51,480
\nThere at Bethel was to.
\nRedeem him from all the evil. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:38:51,680 –> 00:38:53,360
\nNow.
\nWhat’s fascinating here? <\/p>\n

592
\n00:38:53,360 –> 00:38:59,920
\nIs that we’ve got these, these.
\nInterventions where the Angel <\/p>\n

593
\n00:38:59,920 –> 00:39:03,040
\nreveals.
\nHimself to Jacob, we’ve got <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:03,040 –> 00:39:04,360
\nGenesis.
\nChapter 28. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:04,360 –> 00:39:06,360
\nThe Angels ascending and
\ndescending. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:06,680 –> 00:39:09,440
\nWith God.
\nAn Angel standing by him. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:09,720 –> 00:39:11,880
\nYou’ve got Genesis chapter 30.
\nTwo, where he. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:12,200 –> 00:39:14,480
\nWrestles with a mysterious.
\nFigure through the night and <\/p>\n

599
\n00:39:14,480 –> 00:39:17,240
\nthat’s an Angel and.
\nNow here in Genesis chapter <\/p>\n

600
\n00:39:17,240 –> 00:39:21,240
\n3435.
\nYou’ve got Jacob returning to <\/p>\n

601
\n00:39:21,240 –> 00:39:24,920
\nBethel, and God appears to him
\nagain. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:39:25,600 –> 00:39:30,720
\nSo we’ve got these three moments
\nwhere the Angel reveals himself <\/p>\n

603
\n00:39:32,120 –> 00:39:38,600
\nas one messenger, I believe one
\nmessenger, one divine messenger <\/p>\n

604
\n00:39:38,920 –> 00:39:40,880
\nworking in the life.
\nOf. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:39:41,800 –> 00:39:49,120
\nJacob, just think about that.
\nFor a moment and we’ve seen that<\/p>\n

606
\n00:39:49,120 –> 00:39:52,560
\nthe Angel here.
\nIn chapter 35, uses. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:39:52,560 –> 00:39:55,160
\nWords of Isaac, but there’s
\nanother. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:39:56,120 –> 00:39:59,560
\nParallel that’s going on.
\nYou come back with me to Genesis<\/p>\n

609
\n00:39:59,560 –> 00:40:04,840
\nchapter. 17 So lots and lots of
\nthings are happening at Bethel <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:08,680 –> 00:40:14,320
\nin Genesis chapter 17.
\nAnd the clue is given in verse <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:14,320 –> 00:40:17,280
\none that El Shadi I.
\nThat’s where we read of El Shadi<\/p>\n

612
\n00:40:17,280 –> 00:40:19,880
\nI for the first time and.
\nThen in chapter 35, so perhaps <\/p>\n

613
\n00:40:19,880 –> 00:40:22,200
\nthere is a connection and
\nthere’s lots of connections. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:40:22,600 –> 00:40:24,200
\nSo if you see in.
\nVerse one. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:40:24,440 –> 00:40:27,000
\nI am the Almighty God.
\nI am the El Shadi I. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:40:27,200 –> 00:40:29,320
\nAnd then notice what happens in
\nverse 20. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:40:29,320 –> 00:40:33,520
\nTwo, have you seen this?
\nBefore and he. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:40:33,520 –> 00:40:38,040
\nLeft off talking with him.
\nAnd God went up from. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:40:38,240 –> 00:40:40,760
\nAbraham.
\nHow many of us have noticed that<\/p>\n

620
\n00:40:40,760 –> 00:40:43,200
\nbefore when we’re looking at the
\nlife of Jacob? <\/p>\n

621
\n00:40:44,040 –> 00:40:47,000
\nSo you’ve got the El Shadi.
\nEye here in Genesis chapter. 17 <\/p>\n

622
\n00:40:47,200 –> 00:40:49,520
\nand you’ve also.
\nNow got an Angel leaving. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:40:50,080 –> 00:40:52,960
\nAbraham.
\nAnd there’s another note there, <\/p>\n

624
\n00:40:53,080 –> 00:40:56,200
\nanother little connection.
\nVerse six part. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:40:56,200 –> 00:41:00,200
\nOf the promises would be.
\nKings shall come out of you. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:00,440 –> 00:41:03,080
\nAnd that’s the very.
\nSame phrase in chapter 30. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:03,080 –> 00:41:05,440
\nFive and verse 11 and so.
\nThey were the first 3. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:41:05,440 –> 00:41:07,720
\nConnections.
\nThat I noticed and then looking <\/p>\n

629
\n00:41:07,720 –> 00:41:09,800
\nmore.
\nClosely at the two passages you <\/p>\n

630
\n00:41:09,800 –> 00:41:12,200
\nsee there that they are totally
\ninterlocked. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:41:14,640 –> 00:41:18,600
\nSo not only does the.
\nAngel, utter words of Isaac. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:41:19,320 –> 00:41:22,120
\nIt takes us.
\nRight back to Genesis chapter 17<\/p>\n

633
\n00:41:22,120 –> 00:41:25,600
\nand the promises.
\nThe promises that took place <\/p>\n

634
\n00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:28,960
\nthere.
\nNow the reason why? <\/p>\n

635
\n00:41:28,960 –> 00:41:31,920
\nWe need to appreciate this
\nconnection with Genesis chapter.<\/p>\n

636
\n00:41:31,920 –> 00:41:34,640
\n17 is.
\nBecause of the phrase I. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:41:34,640 –> 00:41:36,600
\nHighlighted there the end of
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:41:37,240 –> 00:41:42,160
\nKings shall come.
\nOut of thee see that kings. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:41:42,480 –> 00:41:44,720
\nShall come out of.
\nThee. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:41:44,760 –> 00:41:47,800
\nNow what’s interesting there of
\nthat word Kings. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:41:49,160 –> 00:41:56,000
\nOf the two. 1523 times that that
\nHebrew word occurs in the Old <\/p>\n

642
\n00:41:56,000 –> 00:42:00,960
\nTestament.
\nOnly five times is it translated<\/p>\n

643
\n00:42:01,280 –> 00:42:03,240
\nin the.
\nPlural as. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:42:03,240 –> 00:42:13,800
\nKings, and I believe that word
\nthere should be king, King. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:42:15,640 –> 00:42:19,640
\nSo Al Shadi I of course, the
\nroyal. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:42:19,640 –> 00:42:21,720
\nSeed would come through Jacob,
\nwe know that. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:42:21,720 –> 00:42:24,240
\nGenesis chapter 49.
\nBut I believe. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:42:25,200 –> 00:42:30,280
\nThe main point here was.
\nThe King would come through <\/p>\n

649
\n00:42:30,280 –> 00:42:34,160
\nthee, the Messiah, the seed of
\npromise. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:42:34,880 –> 00:42:37,120
\nSo with that.
\nThought in mind, come back now <\/p>\n

651
\n00:42:37,480 –> 00:42:41,240
\nto chapter. 30. 5 because I feel
\nnow. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:42:41,440 –> 00:42:44,520
\nThis helps us to.
\nUnlock what takes place. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:42:44,520 –> 00:42:47,240
\nNow, which is rather
\nfascinating. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:42:49,080 –> 00:42:57,920
\nLook what Jacob does here.
\nIn verse 14 and. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:42:57,920 –> 00:43:00,960
\nJacob set up a pillar.
\nIn the place where he. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:00,960 –> 00:43:04,640
\nTalked with him even a pillar
\nstone and he poured a drink <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:04,640 –> 00:43:08,760
\noffering there on and he.
\nPoured oil there. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:43:09,120 –> 00:43:13,680
\nOn.
\nSo the very place of the <\/p>\n

659
\n00:43:13,680 –> 00:43:18,320
\nsacrifice, of the very place of
\nthe altar, of the very place of <\/p>\n

660
\n00:43:18,320 –> 00:43:20,440
\nthe staircase.
\nAll the things that we’ve seen <\/p>\n

661
\n00:43:20,440 –> 00:43:27,120
\nbefore.
\nJacob erects this singular <\/p>\n

662
\n00:43:27,800 –> 00:43:33,040
\naltar, I believe.
\nIn the recognition. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:43:34,440 –> 00:43:38,960
\nThat the king.
\nWould come and it’s interesting,<\/p>\n

664
\n00:43:38,960 –> 00:43:41,520
\nisn’t it?
\nThat as he sets up this pillar. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:43:42,000 –> 00:43:44,600
\nIn the place of sacrifice.
\nAnd the heavenly. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:43:44,600 –> 00:43:46,720
\nStaircase of Genesis, chapter
\n20. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:43:46,720 –> 00:43:48,480
\nEight.
\nWhat does he do? <\/p>\n

668
\n00:43:48,680 –> 00:43:54,840
\nUpon this singular altar, he
\npours a drink offering. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:43:55,160 –> 00:44:00,160
\nYou put in your margin.
\nNumbers 15, verse 5 the drink <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:00,160 –> 00:44:02,080
\noffering.
\nTells us that it was. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:02,080 –> 00:44:05,720
\nWine.
\nIt was blood red. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:12,240
\nWine that was poured and the.
\nOil was. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:44:12,240 –> 00:44:16,320
\nPoured upon the singular altar.
\nThe King. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:44:17,040 –> 00:44:20,080
\nThe symbol of the Messiah King.
\nBrothers and sisters, can you? <\/p>\n

675
\n00:44:20,080 –> 00:44:22,640
\nSee that this is the.
\nClimax of his journey. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:44:22,800 –> 00:44:24,200
\nWe may not have noticed it
\nbefore. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:44:24,320 –> 00:44:27,040
\nThis is the climax.
\nOf Bethel to Bethel. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:44:32,280 –> 00:44:37,240
\nAnd in this great theophany,
\nwhere once again Jacob. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:44:37,240 –> 00:44:39,360
\nComes.
\nFace to face with his God. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:44:41,600 –> 00:44:48,160
\nThis is not the drama of Moses
\nor the drama of Elijah with the <\/p>\n

681
\n00:44:48,160 –> 00:44:49,880
\nwind and the earthquake and the
\nfire. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:44:50,080 –> 00:44:52,160
\nBrothers and sisters, what do we
\nsee in Bethel? <\/p>\n

683
\n00:44:52,280 –> 00:44:54,520
\nWhat do we see in this
\ntheophany? <\/p>\n

684
\n00:44:56,080 –> 00:44:57,560
\nWhat do we?
\nSee in this message of. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:44:57,560 –> 00:45:00,920
\nComfort.
\nIt is the still small voice, <\/p>\n

686
\n00:45:00,920 –> 00:45:03,280
\nisn’t it?
\nIt’s the word of comfort. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:45:03,960 –> 00:45:10,840
\nThe Revelation of the.
\nPromises and suddenly then all <\/p>\n

688
\n00:45:10,840 –> 00:45:15,440
\nthe fears and.
\nDoubts that Jacob have they <\/p>\n

689
\n00:45:15,440 –> 00:45:17,400
\ndisappear?
\nHis questions have been <\/p>\n

690
\n00:45:17,400 –> 00:45:21,000
\nanswered.
\nAnd as we read there in verse <\/p>\n

691
\n00:45:21,000 –> 00:45:24,280
\n13, and God went up from him in
\nthat. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:45:24,280 –> 00:45:27,240
\nPlace Can you imagine?
\nCan you imagine? <\/p>\n

693
\n00:45:27,240 –> 00:45:30,040
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nThe Angel now ascending into. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:45:30,040 –> 00:45:31,840
\nHeaven.
\nAnd perhaps the very same. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:45:31,840 –> 00:45:36,760
\nStaircase is there the.
\nStaircase of chapter. 28 and <\/p>\n

696
\n00:45:36,760 –> 00:45:40,200
\nnow.
\nA single Angel leaves Jacob and <\/p>\n

697
\n00:45:40,200 –> 00:45:42,920
\nascends into heaven.
\nCan you imagine the moment? <\/p>\n

698
\n00:45:43,600 –> 00:45:47,640
\nThis is his theophany.
\nThis is the revelation. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:45:47,640 –> 00:45:50,280
\nOf God.
\nThe working in him was. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:45:50,360 –> 00:45:57,680
\nOver the work was now.
\nCompleted the message was now. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:45:57,680 –> 00:46:01,320
\nUnderstood.
\nAnd so then the Angel then <\/p>\n

702
\n00:46:02,120 –> 00:46:05,680
\nascends the stairs and.
\nJacob watches. <\/p>\n

703
\n00:46:05,840 –> 00:46:07,880
\nBrothers and sisters, doesn’t
\nthat remind us of the. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:46:08,200 –> 00:46:10,440
\nThe 12 disciples.
\nStanding upon the Mount of <\/p>\n

705
\n00:46:10,440 –> 00:46:14,240
\nOlives and they see the Lord
\nJesus Christ ascending the <\/p>\n

706
\n00:46:14,240 –> 00:46:17,640
\nclouds into heaven.
\nAnd perhaps. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:46:18,200 –> 00:46:23,120
\nThe very.
\nSame Angel that left Abraham is <\/p>\n

708
\n00:46:23,120 –> 00:46:27,200
\nthe same Angel now.
\nThat leaves Jacob. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:46:28,560 –> 00:46:31,800
\nThe work of the Angel now was
\ncomplete. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:46:37,200 –> 00:46:40,560
\nBut how?
\nWill these promises be <\/p>\n

711
\n00:46:40,560 –> 00:46:44,120
\nfulfilled?
\nHow will these promises be <\/p>\n

712
\n00:46:44,120 –> 00:46:45,160
\nfulfilled?
\nWell, we. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:46:45,160 –> 00:46:48,840
\nSee here.
\nIt is through the pillar. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:46:51,080 –> 00:46:53,320
\nIt is through.
\nThe pillar, remember. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:46:54,160 –> 00:46:57,240
\nIt was Bethel.
\nIt was. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:03,640
\nBethel that Abraham invoked
\nYahweh in the name of Yahweh. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:47:03,680 –> 00:47:08,800
\nRemember that, brothers and
\nsisters, where Abraham had the <\/p>\n

718
\n00:47:08,800 –> 00:47:09,680
\nvision.
\nOf. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:47:09,840 –> 00:47:12,680
\nThe coming Redeemer, the Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:47:13,640 –> 00:47:16,800
\nAnd I want you just to notice.
\nThat little phrase there, that <\/p>\n

721
\n00:47:16,800 –> 00:47:24,000
\nJacob verse 14.
\nSet up a pillar, and Abraham had<\/p>\n

722
\n00:47:24,000 –> 00:47:32,320
\nerected.
\nA pillar at Bethel, and Jacob <\/p>\n

723
\n00:47:34,200 –> 00:47:37,040
\nhad re erected that altar.
\nHadn’t he? <\/p>\n

724
\n00:47:38,960 –> 00:47:41,720
\nAt Bethel when he received the
\nvision. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:47:42,800 –> 00:47:44,960
\nAnd he anointed it with.
\nJust oil. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:47:45,280 –> 00:47:51,040
\nRemember that And now.
\nJacob erects it again. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:47:52,440 –> 00:47:56,960
\nThat altar stone must have
\nfallen down, and he erects it <\/p>\n

728
\n00:47:56,960 –> 00:48:02,360
\nagain so it’s standing as a
\nsolitary stone, but this time <\/p>\n

729
\n00:48:02,360 –> 00:48:03,160
\nit’s not.
\nOil. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:48:04,920 –> 00:48:09,080
\nIt’s wine and oil.
\nCan you see all of this, <\/p>\n

731
\n00:48:09,080 –> 00:48:10,160
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nHow are the? <\/p>\n

732
\n00:48:10,400 –> 00:48:15,000
\nHow are the promises fulfilled?
\nHe raised that. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:48:15,000 –> 00:48:19,600
\nStone again, that had been.
\nFallen that had fallen. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:48:19,600 –> 00:48:26,600
\nDown he raised it again, and he
\nanoints it with wine and. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:48:26,680 –> 00:48:30,600
\nOil.
\nThis was the stone that would <\/p>\n

736
\n00:48:30,600 –> 00:48:34,560
\ndie.
\nThis was the stone. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:48:36,440 –> 00:48:44,200
\nThat would be sacrificed.
\nThis would be the stone that was<\/p>\n

738
\n00:48:44,200 –> 00:48:48,240
\nshed righteous blood.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:48:48,240 –> 00:48:51,120
\nThis would be the stone.
\nWhich would rise again, be <\/p>\n

740
\n00:48:51,120 –> 00:48:57,200
\ngranted immortality and be
\nanointed as King of Kings and <\/p>\n

741
\n00:48:57,200 –> 00:48:58,080
\nLord.
\nOf. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:48:58,080 –> 00:49:00,600
\nLords upon the whole earth, can
\nyou see that, brothers and <\/p>\n

743
\n00:49:00,600 –> 00:49:04,400
\nsisters, in these two little
\nbookends of Bethel we have? <\/p>\n

744
\n00:49:04,400 –> 00:49:07,640
\nThere the 1st.
\nMission and Ministry of the <\/p>\n

745
\n00:49:07,640 –> 00:49:08,680
\nLord.
\nJesus Christ, where? <\/p>\n

746
\n00:49:08,800 –> 00:49:10,840
\nWhere Jacob?
\nRaises it and anoints it, <\/p>\n

747
\n00:49:11,960 –> 00:49:16,280
\nsymbolizing being raised amongst
\nhis brethren, and anointed as <\/p>\n

748
\n00:49:16,600 –> 00:49:18,640
\nthis is my beloved Son, in whom
\nI am well pleased. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:49:18,760 –> 00:49:20,880
\nAnd it had fallen down.
\nAnd he raises it again. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:49:21,040 –> 00:49:25,560
\nBut this time first.
\nWith wine and then with oil. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:49:25,560 –> 00:49:26,920
\nCan you see that?
\nWe’ve got the 1st. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:49:27,280 –> 00:49:30,680
\nMission and the second mission.
\nOf the Lord Jesus Christ, the <\/p>\n

753
\n00:49:30,680 –> 00:49:33,800
\nfull work of.
\nChrist and his redeeming work. <\/p>\n

754
\n00:49:34,240 –> 00:49:35,880
\nThis was the.
\nStone of Israel the. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:49:35,880 –> 00:49:37,600
\nStone, which the builders
\nrejected. <\/p>\n

756
\n00:49:37,720 –> 00:49:39,680
\nThe same has become the head of
\nthe corner. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:49:42,040 –> 00:49:46,960
\nAnd it was.
\nHere the God spoke to all of us <\/p>\n

758
\n00:49:48,520 –> 00:49:52,760
\njust like.
\nJacob went back to Bethel to <\/p>\n

759
\n00:49:52,760 –> 00:49:55,360
\nreconnect with God and find
\nguidance. <\/p>\n

760
\n00:49:56,480 –> 00:49:57,920
\nWe too.
\nCan find. <\/p>\n

761
\n00:49:58,960 –> 00:50:03,400
\nOur way back to God.
\nNo matter how off track. <\/p>\n

762
\n00:50:03,760 –> 00:50:07,960
\nWe feel we we might find
\nourselves in a a myriad of <\/p>\n

763
\n00:50:07,960 –> 00:50:10,000
\nlife’s troubles.
\nWhatever they may be. <\/p>\n

764
\n00:50:10,760 –> 00:50:13,000
\nWhether they are personal and.
\nAnd family. <\/p>\n

765
\n00:50:13,000 –> 00:50:16,080
\nStruggles whether they are.
\nHealth and emotional challenges.<\/p>\n

766
\n00:50:16,240 –> 00:50:18,560
\nWhether they are?
\nRelationship and and spiritual <\/p>\n

767
\n00:50:18,560 –> 00:50:21,200
\nconflicts whether they are.
\nFinancial and career <\/p>\n

768
\n00:50:21,200 –> 00:50:25,920
\ndifficulties or.
\nEven or even ecclesial. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:50:25,920 –> 00:50:29,320
\nProblems.
\nIsn’t it reassuring to know? <\/p>\n

770
\n00:50:30,840 –> 00:50:36,920
\nThat we could always.
\nFind ourselves we can find. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:50:37,080 –> 00:50:40,960
\nOur way back to Bethel.
\nAre you ready to find your <\/p>\n

772
\n00:50:40,960 –> 00:50:42,920
\nBethel?
\nAre you ready to get? <\/p>\n

773
\n00:50:42,920 –> 00:50:46,320
\nBack on track, however far.
\nWe’ve fallen. <\/p>\n

774
\n00:50:46,800 –> 00:50:49,800
\nWe’ve got to get back to Bethel.
\nRemember. <\/p>\n

775
\n00:50:49,920 –> 00:50:53,400
\nJesus is risen, the pillar that
\nhas fallen. <\/p>\n

776
\n00:50:53,400 –> 00:50:55,360
\nHas been raised.
\nIt’s been anointed. <\/p>\n

777
\n00:50:57,120 –> 00:50:59,960
\nIt’s time to get back to Bethel.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
