Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 337.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,720 –> 00:00:07,120
\nOur speaker for the second
\nsession is Brother Lane <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,120 –> 00:00:11,400
\nRittmeyer from Cardiff, Wales.
\nHis theme for the week is The <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,400 –> 00:00:14,280
\nPower of Bible Places and their
\nLessons For us. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,040 –> 00:00:18,000
\nThis is his 5th class and the
\nsubject for this class is <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:22,240
\nBethabara Beyond Jordan.
\nA reading was taken from Joshua <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:22,240 –> 00:00:32,439
\nChapter 3.
\nDear brilliant sisters in the <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:32,439 –> 00:00:36,880
\nLord Jesus Christ and young
\npeople, yesterday we left Jesus <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,880 –> 00:00:40,680
\nsitting under the oak of the
\nTeacher, sitting on the wall of <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:40,680 –> 00:00:45,800
\nthat well in fulfilment of the
\nthat old promise of which Jacob <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:49,360
\nmade with son Joseph.
\nJoseph is a fruitful bow by a <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:49,360 –> 00:00:54,160
\nwell whose branches or whose
\ndaughters go over the wall. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:57,440
\nAnd here was Jesus Christ
\nsitting at the well of Jacob, <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:01,880
\nand preached in the gospel for
\nthe first time to the Gentiles. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:02,480 –> 00:01:04,840
\nAnd the whole scene was so
\nexciting by the sisters, because<\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:04,840 –> 00:01:09,320
\nunder his feet were the idols of
\nthe House of Jacob buried on the<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,320 –> 00:01:15,040
\nground, and the bones of Joseph,
\nand also, I believe the bones of<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:19,120
\nhis brothers.
\nJust one or two words to go back<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:19,800 –> 00:01:24,920
\nabout a perplexing passage in
\nActs Chapter 7, because there <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:28,400
\nwere some questions about this.
\nIf you go back to Exodus 7 and <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:28,400 –> 00:01:33,680
\nverse 15 you need to read this
\ncorrectly because it is a bit <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:33,680 –> 00:01:39,160
\ndifficult.
\nIt says in Acts 7 and verse 15 <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:44,040
\nthat Jacob went down into Egypt
\nand died. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:48,200
\nHe and our fathers.
\nThat passage is telling us that <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:48,200 –> 00:01:53,760
\nJacob died in the land of Egypt.
\nHe died there, but also the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:53,760 –> 00:01:57,520
\nfathers died there.
\nThat means to say Reuben and <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:57,520 –> 00:02:00,200
\nSimeon, Judah, Levi, then, and
\nso on. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:00,360 –> 00:02:05,960
\nAll those people died in Egypt.
\nBut we know, of course, from <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:05,960 –> 00:02:11,520
\nGenesis chapter 50 that Jacob
\nhad commanded his sons to bury <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:11,520 –> 00:02:14,840
\nhim in Hebron in the tomb of
\nMachpelah. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:15,760 –> 00:02:21,120
\nAnd we have a very, very broad
\naccount of the whole Israelite <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:21,120 –> 00:02:24,280
\ntribe coming out of Egypt,
\nstopping at the threshing floor <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:24,280 –> 00:02:26,280
\nof Attad, of the traffic
\nthreshing. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:29,280
\nFloor of mourning.
\nAnd Jacob Behringer in the tomb <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:29,280 –> 00:02:35,280
\nof Machpelah in Hebron, Abramiz,
\nand Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:35,680 –> 00:02:39,560
\nAnd Jacob was now going to be
\nunited there with Leah, that is,<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:39,560 –> 00:02:43,720
\nin Hebron.
\nBut the next verse says. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:45,440 –> 00:02:50,160
\nAnd were carried over him.
\nWell, the but I don’t say <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:50,160 –> 00:02:52,520
\nanything bad about the King
\nJames after this wonderful <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:52,520 –> 00:02:57,640
\naddress we had last night.
\nBut they did miss out the word <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:57,680 –> 00:03:02,960
\nthey but you find in all the
\nother translations the NIV <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:03,040 –> 00:03:06,520
\nactually says.
\nAnd their bones were carried <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:06,520 –> 00:03:10,680
\nover into Shechem, Whose bones?
\nThe bones of the Fathers, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:10,920 –> 00:03:13,480
\nbecause Jacob was already buried
\nin Hebron. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:14,760 –> 00:03:17,400
\nNow imagine them, the tribe of
\nJoseph, Ephraim and Naza, <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:19,720
\ncarrying those bones of Joseph,
\nas we are told. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:19,720 –> 00:03:22,800
\nThey were put in a box and they
\ncarry them all through the. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:26,440
\nBuildings and bury them under
\nthe oak of the teacher. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:27,040 –> 00:03:30,480
\nBut do you think that the other
\ntribes who’d have left their <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:30,560 –> 00:03:33,560
\ntribal fathers behind?
\nAlthough we aren’t told. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:33,760 –> 00:03:38,280
\nIn Genesis, that is the case.
\nIn Acts Chapter 7, we’ve got <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:41,760
\nadded revelation.
\nThat the other patriarchs were <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:41,760 –> 00:03:45,480
\nalso brought over and SNF, he
\nsays, I don’t like the NFA, but <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:47,720
\nin this case they’re very good
\nand their bodies were carried <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:47,720 –> 00:03:50,680
\nover into Shechem.
\nSecond difficulty. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:50,880 –> 00:03:54,240
\nThey were laid in the sepulchre
\nthat Abraham bought for a sum of<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:54,240 –> 00:03:58,760
\nmoney after sons of Emor.
\nThere’s no record of Abraham <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:58,760 –> 00:04:02,920
\nbuying that piece of land, but
\nwe know from Genesis chapter 12 <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:02,920 –> 00:04:05,800
\nthat he came to the oak of the
\nTeacher and he built an altar <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:08,760
\nthere.
\nNow you cannot just build an alt<\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:12,640
\non anybody else’s ground.
\nYou’re only allowed to build on <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:16,480
\nyour own ground.
\nSo Abraham must have bought that<\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:16,600 –> 00:04:20,000
\noak, the land just around the
\ntree of the the oak of the <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:23,120
\nteacher, and build an alt on his
\nown piece of land. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:23,880 –> 00:04:28,960
\nBut this passage reminds us very
\nmuch of what it says in Joshua <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:28,960 –> 00:04:32,160
\nchapter 24.
\nLet’s go back to Joshua chapter <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:37,880
\n20. 4.
\nAnd that’s another difficulty <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:46,470 –> 00:04:50,670
\nwhere it says in verse 32 the
\nbones of Joseph is the children <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:50,670 –> 00:04:52,150
\nof Israel brought about of
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:52,550 –> 00:04:54,630
\nBuried a in.
\nShechem in the parcel of ground <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:54,630 –> 00:04:58,990
\nwhich Jacob bought, Otto, sons
\nof Amor, the father of Shechem. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:59,510 –> 00:05:01,230
\nSo here we say that Jacob bought
\nit. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:01,750 –> 00:05:04,230
\nIn Acts we see that Abram bought
\nit. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:05,830 –> 00:05:07,430
\nOur problem is Brendan says that
\nif. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:07,550 –> 00:05:11,280
\nIn the Middle East, I can see
\nthat still today that people <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:11,280 –> 00:05:14,840
\nfight over property.
\nThere are Jewish houses occupied<\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:14,840 –> 00:05:16,800
\nby Arabs and the Jews are
\nclaiming it back. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:17,240 –> 00:05:21,200
\nAbram must have bought a small
\npiece of land not to dwell in <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:21,920 –> 00:05:24,800
\nbecause God didn’t give him as
\nmuch as a foot breath to <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:25,080 –> 00:05:29,120
\nactually to as an inheritance to
\nset up a camp and to live there,<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:29,400 –> 00:05:32,520
\nbut just for a burial place and
\nto a place to build an arty. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:33,720 –> 00:05:38,240
\nBut if you don’t stay in that
\npiece of land, well, the other <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:41,640
\npeople will take it over,
\nstarting with squatters and then<\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:41,640 –> 00:05:44,160
\nmaking up some kind of document.
\nThis is my piece of land. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:44,520 –> 00:05:48,240
\nSo Jacob had to buy it again.
\nAnd that’s the listener I tried <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:50,760
\nto bring out last time.
\nBut if you’ve been given an <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:50,760 –> 00:05:53,800
\ninheritance, if you don’t stay
\nthere, like the sons of Jacob, <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:54,080 –> 00:05:56,400
\nwe’re not feeling their flock in
\ntheir Fallas inheritance. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:56,400 –> 00:05:58,720
\nThey were in downtown.
\nThen we can lose it and it’s <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:58,720 –> 00:06:01,640
\nvery hard to get it back again.
\nAnd I’m sure that when Jacob <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:01,640 –> 00:06:04,840
\nwants to have it back again, he
\nhad to buy it again for a <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:04,840 –> 00:06:08,360
\nspecial frame, a special price.
\nBecause you are my friend, as <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:08,360 –> 00:06:10,360
\nthey say in the Middle East.
\nYes. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:10,360 –> 00:06:15,760
\nSo there’s, there’s no, there’s
\nno contradiction between the <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:15,760 –> 00:06:18,880
\nGenesis and the Joshua count and
\nthe acts of the apostle. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:22,760
\nWe just need to understand that
\nwe are told in Acts Chapter 7 <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:23,120 –> 00:06:26,920
\nthat.
\nThe bones of the fathers, Reuben<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:26,920 –> 00:06:30,800
\nand Simeon and Levi and so on
\nwere also buried in Shechem. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:34,000
\nNot in Hebron where Jacob was
\nburied, but in Shechem. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:34,320 –> 00:06:36,280
\nAnd that is the beautiful
\npicture and scissor. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:36,520 –> 00:06:38,200
\nThere’s Jesus sitting at the
\nwell there. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:38,360 –> 00:06:41,360
\nThere’s all the idols, idols of
\nthe House of Jacob under his <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:41,360 –> 00:06:44,880
\nfeet, the idols which Joshua
\nburied under the oak of the tree<\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:45,200 –> 00:06:48,440
\nwhere the law was written, under
\nthis, on the stones under that <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:48,440 –> 00:06:52,800
\noak of the teacher, and the
\nbones of Joseph and his brethren<\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:52,880 –> 00:06:57,200
\nunder his feet as well.
\nI’m thinking that when Mary came<\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:57,200 –> 00:07:01,440
\nto visit Elizabeth, the babe
\njumped in the room for joy, and <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:01,440 –> 00:07:04,200
\nI can imagine that the bones of
\nJoseph were just rattling for <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:04,200 –> 00:07:06,760
\njoy.
\nThen Jesus was sitting there <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:06,760 –> 00:07:11,040
\njust above them and they’re
\ntelling the gospel, extending <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:11,040 –> 00:07:14,280
\nthe gospel message to this
\nGentile woman, this woman of <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:14,360 –> 00:07:17,480
\nerepute, just like Dyna was a
\ncorrupt woman where Jesus <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:19,920
\nextended, got mercy to the
\nGentile also. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:20,240 –> 00:07:24,160
\nAnd there is no more beautiful
\npicture as the teachers sitting <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:24,160 –> 00:07:28,160
\nthere on that particular place
\nwhere where Jacob had built as <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:28,160 –> 00:07:30,440
\nwell and where the fathers are
\nall buried. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:31,160 –> 00:07:35,600
\nBut today I want to go to Beth
\nAbarra Joshua. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:38,600
\nChapter 3 for me is one of the
\nmost exciting chapters in the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:38,600 –> 00:07:42,400
\nBible by the sisters because it
\ntells us how the Israelites <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:47,320
\nfinally, after 40 years in the
\nwilderness, entered the land of <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:47,320 –> 00:07:49,080
\nIsrael.
\nAnd we are there now. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:51,120
\nWe hope that soon Christ will
\ncome back. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:51,360 –> 00:07:54,560
\nAnd we will.
\nAlso enter into the lands. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:55,240 –> 00:07:58,480
\nIt’s interesting that it says
\nthat the children of Israel had <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:58,480 –> 00:08:02,280
\nto keep a distance of 2000
\ncubits. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:03,200 –> 00:08:06,800
\nNot as it says in the good news.
\nGood news by about a. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:12,400
\nMile because you lose the whole
\ntype of 2000 cubits Christ was <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:15,680
\nthe first one to cross that
\nriver of death typified by the <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:18,880
\nark because as soon as the.
\nFeet of the priest that carried <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:18,880 –> 00:08:22,960
\nthe ark touched the water.
\nThe waters were cut off so the <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:23,000 –> 00:08:26,240
\nwater stopped flowing into
\ndeath, into the Dead Sea itself.<\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:26,720 –> 00:08:29,040
\nWe’ve seen that beautiful and
\npowerful picture. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:29,320 –> 00:08:33,159
\nThe teaching aid of the River
\nJordan descended from life into <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:33,159 –> 00:08:36,200
\ndeath.
\nBut now that road to death was <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:36,440 –> 00:08:41,200
\ncut right across by the Ark, The
\nwaters dried up and the children<\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:45,400
\nof Israel had to go on foot
\nbehind them on dry land. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:45,960 –> 00:08:48,040
\nBut look at that first four
\nthere. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:48,040 –> 00:08:52,720
\nShall be a space between you and
\nit, about 2000 cubits by <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:54,800
\nmeasure.
\nCome not near and to it, that <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:59,680
\nyou may know the way by which
\nyou must go, for you have not <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:59,680 –> 00:09:03,560
\npassed its way heretofore.
\nAnd we also gladly says we need <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:03,560 –> 00:09:09,760
\nto learn the way how Christ
\nlived his life and crossed that <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:09,760 –> 00:09:12,680
\nriver of death and entered into
\neternal life. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:12,840 –> 00:09:14,760
\nAnd we’ve been given 40 years, a
\nlifetime. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:15,240 –> 00:09:19,040
\nSo use every day of your life to
\nlearn this way, because we <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:19,040 –> 00:09:21,360
\nhaven’t been there yet.
\nWe haven’t been raised from the <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:21,360 –> 00:09:23,640
\ndead.
\nAnd that beautiful picture took <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:23,640 –> 00:09:26,840
\nplace in Bait Abara.
\nYou see an aerial photograph <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:27,240 –> 00:09:29,360
\ntaken from more or less above
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:29,960 –> 00:09:33,000
\nA bit further to the West is
\nVadiguard, going down to where <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:37,040
\nJericho is, and here we’ve got
\nthe river Jordan going right <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:37,040 –> 00:09:41,080
\nthrough, and the other plains,
\nthe Kikai of Moab, where the <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:41,080 –> 00:09:46,080
\ncamp official was, and the one
\ncrossing place is Beit Abagah. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:46,080 –> 00:10:07,360
\nLet’s go to John chapter 1.
\nThere we read, when John the <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:07,360 –> 00:10:11,800
\nBaptist says in verse 26, I
\nbaptize with water. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:16,040
\nBut as standards run among you
\nwhom ye know not, he it is who <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:16,040 –> 00:10:19,920
\ncoming after me is preferred
\nbefore me, whose shoes leched, I<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:23,160
\nam not worthy to undlose.
\nThese things were done in <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:23,160 –> 00:10:26,200
\nBaitabaga beyond Jordan, where
\nJohn was baptizing. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:26,360 –> 00:10:29,200
\nAnd the next day John sees Jesus
\ncoming unto him, and says, <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:29,200 –> 00:10:32,400
\nBehold the Lamb of God, which
\ntaketh away the sin of the <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:32,400 –> 00:10:35,880
\nworld.
\nAnd so he baptised him right <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:35,880 –> 00:10:41,480
\nthere in Bait Abara.
\nNow the name Bait Abara means <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:41,480 –> 00:10:44,000
\nthe place of.
\nCrossing. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:44,840 –> 00:10:48,120
\nIt was the exact same place
\nwhere the Israelite crossed in <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:48,120 –> 00:10:52,440
\nJoshua chapter 3 on dry land
\nright there as you can see on <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:52,440 –> 00:10:54,920
\nthe picture.
\nAnd they entered into the <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:54,920 –> 00:10:58,640
\npromised land, and that’s where.
\nChrist was baptised. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:59,200 –> 00:11:01,640
\nHe could not have been baptised
\nin in any other place. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:01,640 –> 00:11:05,680
\nBrethren and sisters.
\nAnd he’s been there many times <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:05,720 –> 00:11:09,320
\nin his life.
\nIf you follow his journeys, he <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:09,320 –> 00:11:13,640
\noften spent time here in
\nBethebara or he crossed over in <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:13,640 –> 00:11:16,600
\nBethebara even before he was
\nborn. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:20,840
\nShe went Mary.
\nWas more or less sent by Gabriel<\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:20,840 –> 00:11:25,160
\nthe Angel to go to Elizabeth.
\nShe went from Nazareth, crossed <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:25,160 –> 00:11:28,760
\nover the other side Jordan, and
\neven today there’s a crossing <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:28,760 –> 00:11:31,920
\nhere opposite Beth Chan.
\nJohn the batter was usually <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:32,360 –> 00:11:36,440
\nbaptizing in Anon next to Salem,
\nand the other crossing here is <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:36,440 –> 00:11:41,120
\nBeitabara opposite Jericho.
\nSo when Mary went to Elizabeth <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:41,120 –> 00:11:45,560
\nin Hebron, they crossed over
\nBeitabara, and then three months<\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:45,560 –> 00:11:48,920
\nlater she went back.
\nThen again she had to cross <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:48,920 –> 00:11:52,920
\nBeitabara.
\nWhen Jesus was about to be born,<\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:53,240 –> 00:11:56,800
\nthey again went from Nazareth.
\nThey crossed over here, they <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:56,800 –> 00:12:01,040
\ncrossed back at Beita Bahra,
\nwent over Jericho, Jerusalem and<\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:01,040 –> 00:12:03,480
\nto Bethlehem for Jesus to be
\nborn. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:04,720 –> 00:12:07,960
\nAnd then when Jesus was
\nbaptised, you know John de <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:11,840
\nBateau is usually baptising
\nhere, aiming into Salem, but he <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:11,840 –> 00:12:17,200
\nhad to come down specially the
\nJordan River to meet Christ at <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:17,200 –> 00:12:21,400
\nthe place of crossing, the place
\nwhere the Israelites crossed to <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:21,840 –> 00:12:26,280
\nhave Jesus baptised there.
\nCelebrating the sisters, it’s a <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:26,280 –> 00:12:29,000
\nvery important place in the life
\nof. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:31,920
\nJesus.
\nAnd as soon as he as he was <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:31,920 –> 00:12:36,320
\nbaptised, what what happened?
\nHe was tempted in the <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:38,920
\nwilderness.
\nSo when he was baptised here, he<\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:38,920 –> 00:12:41,480
\ncrossed the River Jordan because
\nhe baptised on the other side. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:41,800 –> 00:12:46,280
\nAnd then he went.
\nTo the to to the wilderness just<\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:46,280 –> 00:12:47,800
\nnear Jericho.
\nTo be tempted. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:51,600
\nLet’s go to Matthew chapter 4
\nand see the associations which <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:51,600 –> 00:13:01,200
\nJesus makes.
\nIn Matthew chapter 4, he was <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:01,200 –> 00:13:07,640
\njust baptized in Beita Bahra and
\nthen was Jesus LED up of the <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:07,640 –> 00:13:10,320
\nSpirit into the wilderness to be
\ntempted of the devil. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:10,840 –> 00:13:13,040
\nAnd then he had fasted 40 days
\nof 40 nights. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:13,040 –> 00:13:16,160
\nHe was aft which of hungered.
\nAnd when the tempter came to me,<\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:16,160 –> 00:13:20,280
\nhe said, If thou be the Son of
\nGod, commanded these stones be <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:20,280 –> 00:13:23,200
\nmade bread?
\nBut he answered and said, it is <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:26,680
\nwritten, Men shall not live by
\nbread alone, but by every word <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:26,680 –> 00:13:29,600
\nthat takes procedures out of the
\nmouth of God. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:30,720 –> 00:13:36,920
\nWhy did you say of these stones
\nJesus can make bread and why <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:36,920 –> 00:13:39,760
\ndoes he quote?
\nDeuteronomy in this particular <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:39,760 –> 00:13:43,400
\nplace.
\nLet’s go to Joshua chapter 4. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:43,400 –> 00:13:47,920
\nLet me see the same phrase being
\nused then. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:48,840 –> 00:13:56,280
\nWhich tells us they’re not just
\nordinary stones in Joshua <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:56,360 –> 00:14:00,960
\nchapter 4.
\nAfter the children of Israel had<\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:00,960 –> 00:14:06,720
\ncrossed the river Jordan and
\nthen Joshua commanded them. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:07,600 –> 00:14:10,640
\nIn verse seven, he says when the
\nwaters of the Jordan were cut <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:10,640 –> 00:14:13,720
\noff before the ark of the
\nconvent of Yabba, then it passed<\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:13,720 –> 00:14:16,240
\nover Jordan, then the waters
\nwere cut off. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:16,240 –> 00:14:21,320
\nAnd these stones, which stones,
\nthese stones shall be for a <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:21,320 –> 00:14:23,320
\nmemorial unto the children of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:23,720 –> 00:14:26,840
\nBecause he had commanded right
\nin the beginning of the chapter,<\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:27,160 –> 00:14:29,400
\nit came to pass when all the
\npeople were clean passed over <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:29,400 –> 00:14:32,800
\nJordan and Yah was speaking to
\nJoshua saying so it’s God’s <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:32,800 –> 00:14:36,240
\ncommand.
\nTake 12 men out of the people, <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:36,240 –> 00:14:40,320
\none of every tribe and man, and
\ncommanded them, saying, Take the<\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:40,400 –> 00:14:44,040
\nhands out of the midst of the
\nJordan, out of the place where <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:44,040 –> 00:14:46,840
\nthe priest feet stood firm 12
\nStones. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:47,440 –> 00:14:50,640
\nAnd carry them over with you,
\nand leave them in the lodging <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:50,640 –> 00:14:52,800
\nplace where you shall lodge this
\nnight. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:53,200 –> 00:14:58,440
\nAnd so they did.
\nAnd as it says in verse 7, these<\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:01,480
\nstones shall be from memorial
\nunto the children of Israel <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:01,480 –> 00:15:05,960
\nforever.
\nAnd Jesus said, or the tempter <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:05,960 –> 00:15:08,600
\nsaid to genius, if they’ll be
\nthe Son of God, command that <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:08,840 –> 00:15:13,280
\nthese stones be made, bred the
\nstones that were taken up out of<\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:13,280 –> 00:15:17,120
\nthe river Jordan from under the
\nfeet of the priests who carried <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:17,120 –> 00:15:21,440
\nthe ark of the covenant.
\nThey were a type of of Israel, <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:21,440 –> 00:15:23,480
\nof spiritual Israel.
\nThey were taken out of that <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:23,480 –> 00:15:26,400
\nriver of death, out of the
\ndescender, and they were <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:26,400 –> 00:15:28,520
\nstanding there on the side of
\nthe Jordan. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:28,800 –> 00:15:31,440
\nWhen Jesus saw that he knew
\nexactly what they meant. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:31,440 –> 00:15:33,960
\nThat was Israel.
\nHe could turn them into bread, <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:34,320 –> 00:15:37,760
\nbut not for himself.
\nAnd why did she quote <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:40,600
\nDeuteronomy?
\nBreaded sisters, of course. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:40,600 –> 00:15:43,560
\nYou can quote Deuteronomy at any
\ntime. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:44,280 –> 00:15:47,200
\nBut the book of Deuteronomy was
\nwritten exactly at the same <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:53,280
\nspot.
\nWhere did Moses write the book <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:53,320 –> 00:15:56,160
\nof Deuteronomy?
\nGo to Deuteronomy chapter 31. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:04,910 –> 00:16:11,230
\nBecause while they were there in
\nthe plain of Jordan, we read in <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:11,270 –> 00:16:17,920
\nverse 9 that Moses wrote this
\nlaw and delivered it unto the <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:17,920 –> 00:16:22,000
\npriest, the sons of Levi, which
\nbare the ark of the covenant of <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:22,000 –> 00:16:24,960
\nYahuah, and unto all the elders
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:30,680
\nAnd so the law was written there
\nbecause they were in the plain <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:30,680 –> 00:16:33,240
\nof Jordan.
\nAnd so we see that Jesus knew <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:33,240 –> 00:16:37,360
\nexactly what had happened there
\nin the past, and He used it to <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:37,360 –> 00:16:41,440
\nexplain who He was Himself and
\nwhat He came to do. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:42,240 –> 00:16:46,400
\nHe would not have known what to
\ndo if he hadn’t read the <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:49,680
\nscriptures, and he used it at
\nfull advantage. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:50,360 –> 00:16:53,600
\nBut then on another journey, he
\ncrossed again. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:57,800
\nBut whenever you went to
\nJerusalem, he again crossed over<\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:57,800 –> 00:17:01,280
\nby Tabara.
\nLet’s go to John chapter 10. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:02,600 –> 00:17:23,220
\nIn John chapter 10.
\nNow he was in in Galilee and we <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:23,220 –> 00:17:27,980
\nread there that verse 22 and it
\nwas at Jerusalem, the feast of <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:27,980 –> 00:17:31,860
\ndedication, and it was winter.
\nBut how did Jesus get? <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:31,860 –> 00:17:38,060
\nFrom Galilee into Jerusalem,
\ninto the Temple again, He came <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:38,060 –> 00:17:41,540
\nFrom Capernaum, where he lived.
\nHe went through the same Jordan <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:41,540 –> 00:17:44,780
\nValley, crossed over at
\nCitopolis Becham. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:45,360 –> 00:17:48,160
\nAnd he crossed over back again
\nat Bethabara and even up to <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:48,160 –> 00:17:52,560
\ntoday, those are the two major
\ncrossings between Israel and and<\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:52,560 –> 00:17:56,640
\nJordan.
\nSo that is why he had to be <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:57,120 –> 00:18:00,520
\nbeyond Jordan.
\nHe always went back to the <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:00,520 –> 00:18:04,760
\nplace.
\nWhere he was baptised and then <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:04,760 –> 00:18:08,680
\nhe went to Bethany.
\nHere you can see Bethany because<\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:08,680 –> 00:18:11,640
\nhe came up from Jericho from
\nBethabara. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:12,000 –> 00:18:15,560
\nHe went over this road to
\nBethany, which is right here, <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:16,120 –> 00:18:20,000
\nand I’ve lived myself for two
\nyears in Bethany and I used to <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:23,440
\nwalk up the back of the Mount of
\nOlives to go to work here, right<\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:23,440 –> 00:18:26,680
\nat the Temple Mount.
\nBut whenever Jesus went there to<\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:26,720 –> 00:18:29,160
\nChosen, he always stayed at the
\nHouse of his friends. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:29,960 –> 00:18:33,200
\nAnd that is a lovely thing to do
\nby the sisters, to always stay <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:37,440
\nwith friends and not with other
\npeople in the world. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:43,000
\nBut then after Jesus had been in
\nJerusalem at the Feast of <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:48,400
\nDedication, then he went back
\nagain to Jordan. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:48,560 –> 00:18:51,840
\nLook at verse 40 of the same
\nchapter 10. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:55,160 –> 00:19:00,920
\nThat was after he had raised up.
\nNow it was before he raised the <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:00,920 –> 00:19:04,520
\nplane in verse 40, when they
\nsought to take him in verse 40, <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:04,520 –> 00:19:09,000
\nthat he went away again beyond
\nJordan, unto the place where <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:13,440
\nJohn at first.
\nBaptised and there he abode, he <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:13,440 –> 00:19:17,160
\nwent back by the Sisters time
\nand again to the place where he <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:17,160 –> 00:19:20,880
\nwas baptised.
\nAnd it is a very good example <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:20,880 –> 00:19:24,600
\nfor us also because when we find
\nourselves in difficult <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:28,080
\ncircumstances, when.
\nWe have difficulty in our faith.<\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:28,480 –> 00:19:32,960
\nThen go back to the time we were
\nbaptised. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:33,760 –> 00:19:36,640
\nJesus said to the Ephesians, You
\nhave lost your first love. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:36,880 –> 00:19:39,960
\nRemember that love you had.
\nWhen we were baptised, when we <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:39,960 –> 00:19:42,920
\nwere enthusiastic, we were
\nwilling to work for the truth, <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:43,200 –> 00:19:47,080
\ngo back to that place, to that
\ntime you were baptised because <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:47,080 –> 00:19:51,600
\nJesus did it time and again.
\nSo he was baptised in a very <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:51,600 –> 00:19:55,000
\nspecial place.
\nBut it says in verse 40 he went <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:55,480 –> 00:19:59,440
\nbeyond Jordan.
\nSo he crossed it back to Barra <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:00,040 –> 00:20:02,840
\nand he stayed there beyond
\nJordan. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:03,040 –> 00:20:07,240
\nWhy would he stay there?
\nWhat was there beyond Jordan? <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:09,040 –> 00:20:10,800
\nNow look at this map.
\nBrethren, sisters, we’ve just <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:10,880 –> 00:20:14,680
\nbeen reading Joshua Chapter 20.
\nJoshua chapter 3. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:15,360 –> 00:20:17,080
\nNow here we’ve got the end of
\nthe Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:17,440 –> 00:20:21,920
\nHere’s the River Jordan coming
\ndown and flowing into the Dead <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:21,920 –> 00:20:24,960
\nSea.
\nThat’s where we all end up <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:28,600
\nunless we follow the Ark.
\nWhich crossed the river of death<\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:28,960 –> 00:20:34,120
\nand by Tabara and cut off those
\nwaters, but he was the camp of <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:34,120 –> 00:20:39,000
\nIsrael that was beyond Jordan.
\nThat says Jesus went beyond <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:42,040
\nJordan and he went to the place
\nwhere the camp of Israel was, <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:42,960 –> 00:20:44,800
\nunless we we should always be
\nthere. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:44,800 –> 00:20:47,400
\nBradley, Sisters in our
\nEccleses. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:47,880 –> 00:20:50,200
\nOr in our.
\nFamilies around the readings <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:54,840
\naround the word of God, be in
\nBible schools, be go to Sunday <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:54,840 –> 00:20:59,160
\nschool lessons, go to Bible
\nclasses, go to the break of <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:59,160 –> 00:21:01,800
\nbreath and don’t forsake the
\nassembling of ourselves together<\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:01,960 –> 00:21:05,640
\nbecause Jesus did all the time.
\nHe went back to the camp of <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:05,640 –> 00:21:09,080
\nIsrael.
\nNow the important embeddedness <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:09,080 –> 00:21:13,560
\nis, as we’ve already seen, that
\nriver of death started at Mount <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:13,560 –> 00:21:18,480
\nHermon and we followed.
\nHow that snow melted and created<\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:18,480 –> 00:21:21,840
\nthe river Jordan, how it goes
\ndown into the Sea of Galilee and<\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:21,840 –> 00:21:25,520
\nso on.
\nAnd then at the time of Joshua <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:25,760 –> 00:21:30,000
\nin chapter 3, we read that the
\nJordan overflowed its banks. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:30,880 –> 00:21:33,800
\nNormally it is.
\nJust a small river about, well <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:33,800 –> 00:21:35,520
\nsay from from this world to that
\nworld. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:35,520 –> 00:21:38,120
\nYou can just get a few trees
\nacross and you can walk across. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:38,120 –> 00:21:42,040
\nBut then the Jordan overflows
\nits banks, as this picture <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:42,040 –> 00:21:46,400
\nshows, which was taken in 1894.
\nIt is in places by the a <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:46,440 –> 00:21:50,280
\nkilometre wide, a very fast
\nflowing stream, and you couldn’t<\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:50,280 –> 00:21:53,000
\ncross it with your little ones
\nand with your animals. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:53,720 –> 00:21:56,360
\nThose two spies which Joshua
\nsent out would have been <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:56,360 –> 00:22:01,440
\nextremely good swimmers not to
\nend up into the Dead Sea, so. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:02,360 –> 00:22:05,640
\nThe amazing thing was that as
\nsoon as the feet of the priest <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:05,640 –> 00:22:08,000
\nwho carried the arch of the
\ngovernment touched the waters, <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:08,560 –> 00:22:10,280
\nthe waters flow.
\nThey stopped flowing. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:17,240
\nAll the way back from Adam.
\nNow, Adam, let me just go back <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:17,240 –> 00:22:20,880
\nto this place.
\nAdam is located from 25 <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:27,920
\nkilometres further up the river.
\nSo the water stopped here and it<\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:27,920 –> 00:22:30,000
\ndidn’t flow back.
\nWater doesn’t flow back and the <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:30,000 –> 00:22:33,320
\nBible doesn’t say so it says the
\nwater stood on the heap. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:34,400 –> 00:22:36,680
\nNow I’ve tried it once before,
\nbut I can’t get water standing <\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:36,680 –> 00:22:39,680
\nup on the heap.
\nIt just, it just flows away. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:41,920 –> 00:22:45,160
\nBut you know that the last time
\nthat the waters of the Jordan <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:45,160 –> 00:22:50,040
\nwere cut off was in 1927, and
\nfor 12 hours there was no water <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:50,040 –> 00:22:52,840
\nflowing at all.
\nThe records going back to the <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:52,840 –> 00:22:56,680
\ntime of The Crusaders that the
\nJordan, that the waters of the <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:56,680 –> 00:23:01,320
\nJordan were cut off in between
\n10 and 16 hours, that would have<\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:01,320 –> 00:23:04,360
\nbeen just enough time for the
\nIsraelites to cross that river. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:04,640 –> 00:23:10,120
\nAnd this is how it happened.
\nThe Jordan meanders through the <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:10,360 –> 00:23:13,720
\nriverbed, which is quite wide,
\nabout a kilometre wide or <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:13,720 –> 00:23:17,000
\nsometimes 2.
\nAnd that meandering court of <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:17,000 –> 00:23:20,720
\nRiver Jordan undercuts huge
\nmountainsides. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:21,040 –> 00:23:25,720
\nAnd through the years it, it
\nscours out underneath the <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:25,720 –> 00:23:27,320
\nmountainside.
\nAnd as you can see on this <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:27,320 –> 00:23:32,040
\npicture, a huge chunk of
\nmountains about to fall into the<\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:32,040 –> 00:23:35,200
\nriver.
\nIf you get a larger chunk of <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:35,320 –> 00:23:39,360
\nmountain to fall in, it creates
\na dam right across the River <\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:39,360 –> 00:23:41,680
\nJordan.
\nThat is exactly, according to <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:41,680 –> 00:23:43,920
\nthe records, what happened in
\n1927. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:45,080 –> 00:23:48,320
\nSo the waters were then cut off.
\nThe water that was there flowed <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:48,320 –> 00:23:51,120
\nout until it was finished.
\nAnd then when you get a river <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:51,120 –> 00:23:55,400
\ncoming down and a huge Bank of
\ndam going right across, then the<\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:55,400 –> 00:23:59,960
\nwater piles itself up on the
\nheap, as it were, until it <\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:59,960 –> 00:24:03,280
\nreaches the top of that collapse
\nand then starts flowing again. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:03,640 –> 00:24:07,200
\nThat is what the Bible tells us.
\nAnd that happens only when <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:12,000
\nthere’s an earthquake.
\nWe read a lot about earthquakes <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:12,360 –> 00:24:16,640
\nand I believe that.
\nAs it says, God’s works are <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:16,640 –> 00:24:19,080
\nfinished from the foundation of
\nthe earth. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:19,160 –> 00:24:22,280
\nThe fault lines and the tectonic
\nplates have been built into the <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:22,320 –> 00:24:26,000
\nearth crust right from creation
\nto be used by God at the right <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:26,000 –> 00:24:27,880
\ntime.
\nIt just needs to trigger to set <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:27,880 –> 00:24:30,600
\noff an earthquake.
\nThe mountain falls down and the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:32,920
\nwaters were cut off.
\nIt’s happened so many times in <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:32,920 –> 00:24:36,880
\nrecent history.
\nThen we have an earthquake after<\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:36,880 –> 00:24:40,320
\nthere’s a secondary earthquake.
\nWe just read about Christchurch <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:40,320 –> 00:24:42,240
\nand you know, we know there’s an
\necclesia there and we know <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:42,240 –> 00:24:44,040
\npeople there.
\nThey had an A terrible <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:44,040 –> 00:24:46,120
\nearthquake a few months ago.
\nAnd now they had another one <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:46,120 –> 00:24:51,320
\nlast week when Jericho was
\ndestroyed and they were blowing <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:53,160
\nthe trumpets.
\nOr you can blow a trumpet as <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:53,160 –> 00:24:55,560
\nhard as you want to wear this,
\nbut the wall won’t fall down. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:56,200 –> 00:25:01,160
\nBut yet we do believe the
\nscriptures in archaeology, we <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:01,160 –> 00:25:04,120
\ndon’t only study what the city
\nlooked like, but also how it was<\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:04,120 –> 00:25:08,120
\ndestroyed.
\nAnd there’s no doubt in my mind <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:08,560 –> 00:25:11,440
\nthat the walls of Jericho were
\ndestroyed by an earthquake <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:11,800 –> 00:25:13,560
\nbecause it’s like kind of a
\ncircular wall. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:13,560 –> 00:25:16,720
\nUsually the walls are pushed
\ninwards by the battery ramps <\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:16,720 –> 00:25:19,440
\nfrom the outside.
\nBut the walls of Jericho all <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:19,440 –> 00:25:21,960
\nfell outside that only epithet,
\nan earthquake. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:22,640 –> 00:25:26,760
\nSo the second tremor caused the
\nwalls of Jericho to to to fall <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:26,760 –> 00:25:28,280
\ndown.
\nAnd it doesn’t take away from <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:28,280 –> 00:25:31,840
\nthe power of God, it increases.
\nThe power and the foreknowledge <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:31,840 –> 00:25:35,000
\nof God whose works were finished
\nfrom the foundation of the work.<\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:35,200 –> 00:25:38,400
\nIt just needs a little trigger
\nat the right time at the right <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:38,400 –> 00:25:41,520
\nspot for that to happen.
\nAnd that is very, very powerful.<\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:44,160 –> 00:25:46,920
\nAnd so if you follow Christ,
\nthen we can also reach the <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:46,920 –> 00:25:51,160
\npromised land and we won’t have
\nto be swept down into the Dead <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:51,160 –> 00:25:53,680
\nSea.
\nSo began by saying that that <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:53,680 –> 00:25:56,840
\nJesus went to Bethabara.
\nAfter he was rejected by his <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:56,840 –> 00:26:01,200
\nfellow Jews in Jerusalem.
\nAnd I’m sure Ben assisted the <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:01,200 –> 00:26:06,000
\nBenin event, left Jerusalem
\nbecause they rejected him and he<\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:06,000 –> 00:26:09,000
\nwalked down the road to Jericho
\nand he crossed over better by <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:12,920
\nher that his.
\nMind went back to a very similar<\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:12,960 –> 00:26:16,200
\nevent.
\nGo to Second Samuel, chapter 15.<\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:25,810 –> 00:26:33,210
\nThere was a time when King David
\nwas rejected his own son <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:34,010 –> 00:26:38,520
\nAbsalom.
\nRebelled against him and they, <\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:39,400 –> 00:26:43,280
\nhe set up Israel against their
\nown king, against David. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:44,400 –> 00:26:46,960
\nAnd if he followed this, it’s
\ntoo much to do right now, but <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:47,360 –> 00:26:50,880
\nfollow this route of David.
\nHe says he was in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:51,720 –> 00:26:55,120
\nHe crossed the river, the Kedron
\nValley and went up to Mount of <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:55,120 –> 00:26:56,560
\nOlives.
\nThere’s only one place where he <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:56,560 –> 00:26:59,760
\ncan do that, Jesus.
\nAfter he, he had the last step, <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:59,760 –> 00:27:04,480
\nhe crossed the Kedron Valley and
\nthat’s where Gethsemane is now. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:04,560 –> 00:27:08,280
\nJesus went up again.
\nDavid also, he went up the same <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:08,280 –> 00:27:13,200
\npath of the Mount of Olives and
\nthen as you can see in first <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:13,720 –> 00:27:17,120
\nchapter 15, as it’s a second
\nSamuel, I mean first Samuel <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:22,200 –> 00:27:27,120
\nthere it says when David left
\nJerusalem, verse 23, all the <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:27,120 –> 00:27:30,200
\ncountry that was a loud voice
\nand all the people passed over. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:30,480 –> 00:27:33,640
\nThe King also himself passed
\nover the Brook Kidron just like <\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:33,880 –> 00:27:37,200
\nJesus did. 1000 years later and
\nall the people passed over <\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:37,200 –> 00:27:41,240
\ntoward the way of the wilderness
\nthat is over the Mount of <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:41,240 –> 00:27:43,160
\nOlives.
\nAs you can read later on in the <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:43,160 –> 00:27:48,520
\nchapter, it goes down to Jericho
\nand he crossed over Beta Barra <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:48,520 –> 00:27:51,360
\nand then to live with Barzilay
\nthe Gileadite. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:52,080 –> 00:28:05,420
\nAnd then he came back in chapter
\n17 and in verse 22 when the king<\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:05,420 –> 00:28:08,440
\nhad heard that.
\nAbstrom was dead and the army <\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:08,440 –> 00:28:11,560
\nwas defeated, and David rose and
\nall the people that were with <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:11,560 –> 00:28:16,680
\nhim, and they passed over Jordan
\nby morning light elect not one <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:16,680 –> 00:28:20,400
\nof them that had none not gone
\nover Jordan. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:21,040 –> 00:28:28,160
\nSo David had to flee, but he
\ncame back the second time as <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:28,560 –> 00:28:32,240
\nking when?
\nThey suggested that they should <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:32,280 –> 00:28:35,240
\nsimulate to death that.
\nDo you not know that today I’m <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:35,280 –> 00:28:37,960
\nking in Israel?
\nHe was king already before. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:38,480 –> 00:28:40,040
\nBut now you.
\nBegin he was made king the <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:40,040 –> 00:28:44,160
\nsecond time Jesus also to flee
\nfrom Jerusalem, but not free to <\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:44,160 –> 00:28:46,960
\ngo away from Jerusalem.
\nHe went to the same place where <\/p>\n
436
\n00:28:46,960 –> 00:28:51,560
\nDavid had to flee as well.
\nKnowing that David came back as <\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:51,640 –> 00:28:55,280
\na king and when Jesus.
\nComes back, he will come back as<\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:55,360 –> 00:29:01,080
\nking also because in in chapter
\n19 you can see where those <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:01,080 –> 00:29:05,920
\npeople met the king.
\nIn verse 15 it says the king <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:05,920 –> 00:29:12,080
\nreturned and came to Jordan and
\nJulah came to Gilgal to go to <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:12,080 –> 00:29:15,080
\nmeet the king to conduct the
\nking over Jordan. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:15,600 –> 00:29:18,880
\nWell, Gilgal’s by the Telothis
\nwas circumcised after they <\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:18,880 –> 00:29:22,200
\ncrossed the river Jordan.
\nIt’s all happening in that very,<\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:22,200 –> 00:29:26,920
\nvery same place.
\nSo brave and sisters, Jesus knew<\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:26,920 –> 00:29:30,160
\nall about those stones when he
\nsaid to the Pharisees, the <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:30,160 –> 00:29:34,640
\ngeneration of Vipers, you say we
\nwere able to our father, but of <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:34,640 –> 00:29:38,680
\ncourse they were of these stones
\nto raise up children unto <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:38,680 –> 00:29:41,600
\nAbraham.
\nAnd he thinking about David <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:41,600 –> 00:29:44,680
\nwhere to flee and he came back
\nthe second time as king. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:45,080 –> 00:29:48,640
\nWhat a wonderful thing, brethren
\nand sisters, that happened, but <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:48,640 –> 00:29:52,080
\nsomething else happened at the
\nvery same place. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:52,760 –> 00:29:55,720
\nThat would have gone through the
\nmind of Jesus every time he was <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:55,720 –> 00:29:58,800
\ninvite a Bara.
\nHe would have thought about the <\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:58,800 –> 00:30:02,800
\nriver being cut off, opening the
\nway into eternal life. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:03,200 –> 00:30:06,160
\nHe would have thought about
\nDavid’s fleeing and coming back <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:06,160 –> 00:30:08,120
\nthat same way.
\nBut it was something else. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:08,120 –> 00:30:11,400
\nBrethren and sisters, let’s go
\nto Two Kings chapter. 2. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:24,840 –> 00:30:29,360
\nThere we have Elijah preparing
\nto go away, and it was with <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:29,600 –> 00:30:34,120
\nElijah.
\nNow in verse one, where did they<\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:34,120 –> 00:30:36,240
\nmeet?
\nIn Gilgal? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:36,880 –> 00:30:39,320
\nFirst one of Two Kings, chapter
\n2. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:40,160 –> 00:30:45,120
\nFirst two, they’re going to
\nBethel where Jacob built an <\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:45,120 –> 00:30:48,680
\naltar.
\nAnd then there was the. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:48,800 –> 00:30:50,360
\nThe sons of the prophets were
\nthere. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:51,080 –> 00:30:56,040
\nBut then he went back in verse 4
\nto Jericho, and the verse 6 <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:56,040 –> 00:30:58,680
\nelite is sent to him.
\nTerry, I pray here for Yahweh <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:58,680 –> 00:31:02,680
\nsent me to the Jordan.
\nNow from Jericho to Jordan <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:02,680 –> 00:31:06,720
\nthere’s only one way, that is to
\nBeth Abarra, where Jesus was <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:06,720 –> 00:31:11,440
\nbaptised later on.
\nAnd So what happened in verse <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:11,440 –> 00:31:13,000
\n11?
\nAnd it came to pass, as they <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:15,320
\nstill went on and told them
\nbeyond there appeared a chariot <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:15,320 –> 00:31:19,520
\nof fire, and horses of fire, and
\nparted them both asunder, and <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:19,520 –> 00:31:24,440
\nElijah went up by a whirlwind.
\nInto heaven, as this picture <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:24,440 –> 00:31:26,920
\nkind of showed it.
\nSo do you see all the <\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:26,920 –> 00:31:30,080
\nassociations?
\nBradley sisters in Baitabaya. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:30,520 –> 00:31:33,280
\nSo when Jesus was baptised
\nthere, he would have remembered <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:33,280 –> 00:31:36,720
\nall the events that took place
\nin that one particular place. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:36,720 –> 00:31:38,960
\nAnd that’s why he had to be
\nbaptised there. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:39,160 –> 00:31:43,400
\nThere’s no other way.
\nIt it it stopped the river of <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:46,240
\ndeath and it is the.
\nWay to heaven, as it were. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:46,240 –> 00:31:49,480
\nNot that Elijah went to heaven
\nwhere God dwells because Christ <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:49,480 –> 00:31:53,560
\nis the first born from the dead,
\nbut then that when Jesus went, <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:53,840 –> 00:31:57,760
\nand he often stayed there in the
\ncamp of Israel beyond Jordan. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:58,040 –> 00:32:01,680
\nThat Moses had written the book
\nof Deuteronomy. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:02,440 –> 00:32:05,640
\nSo remember it’s written in 2nd
\nCorinthians 1 and verse three <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:05,640 –> 00:32:08,600
\nand five, that God is the Father
\nof our Lord Jesus Christ, the <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:08,600 –> 00:32:12,640
\nfathers of mercies and the God
\nof all comfort, who comforted us<\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:12,640 –> 00:32:16,240
\nwith All in all our tribulation.
\nThat we may be able to comfort <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:16,240 –> 00:32:19,520
\nthem which are in any trouble by
\nthe comfort where we ourselves <\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:19,520 –> 00:32:22,360
\nare comforted of God.
\nFor the sufferings of Christ <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:22,360 –> 00:32:25,600
\nabound in us.
\nSo our consolation also abounded<\/p>\n
492
\n00:32:25,600 –> 00:32:28,080
\nby Christ.
\nBut when Christ was in trouble, <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:28,240 –> 00:32:32,320
\nhe went to Beto Barrera.
\nWhen we are in trouble, go to <\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:32,320 –> 00:32:34,560
\nwhere the camp of Israel go back
\nto the ecclesia. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:34,840 –> 00:32:37,440
\nRemember the day of your
\nbaptism, because that is all <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:37,440 –> 00:32:40,880
\ntypified in the place where
\nJesus was baptised. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:42,480 –> 00:32:47,840
\nAnd then there’s another thing.
\nJesus went up in John 11 and <\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:47,840 –> 00:32:51,200
\nverse 3.
\nLet’s go to John, Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:32:57,600 –> 00:33:06,000
\nAnd we hear that that Lazarus
\nwas dead in verse three, while <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:06,000 –> 00:33:10,960
\nJesus was beyond Jordan, where
\nthe camp of Israel was, his <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:10,960 –> 00:33:13,920
\nsister sent unto him, and
\nsaying, Lord, behold, he whom <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:13,920 –> 00:33:18,000
\nthou lovest is sick.
\nHe heard it in the camp of <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:18,000 –> 00:33:20,760
\nIsrael.
\nWhen Jesus heard that, he said. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:21,080 –> 00:33:23,640
\nWhen he heard that, he said,
\nThis sickness is not unto death,<\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:23,640 –> 00:33:27,040
\nbut for the glory of God, that
\nthe Son of God might be <\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:27,040 –> 00:33:31,800
\nglorified thereby.
\nBut in verse 6, we’ve read that <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:31,800 –> 00:33:34,680
\nwhen he heard therefore that he
\nwas six, he about two days still<\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:34,920 –> 00:33:39,400
\nin the same place where he was.
\nHe heard about Lazas. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:39,640 –> 00:33:42,320
\nLazas may have died already when
\nthey were walking down to him, <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:42,320 –> 00:33:44,360
\nbut he stayed there for two more
\ndays. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:44,560 –> 00:33:48,320
\nBut keep your hand in John
\nChapter 11 and go to Hosea <\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:48,320 –> 00:34:03,400
\nchapter. 6.
\nSays Come and let us return unto<\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:03,400 –> 00:34:06,080
\nYahweh, for he has torn and he
\nwill heal us. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:06,320 –> 00:34:08,320
\nHe has smitten and he will bind
\nus up. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:08,400 –> 00:34:13,159
\nAfter 2 days will he revive us
\nand takes one the Jesus? <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:13,159 –> 00:34:15,840
\nStayed there for two days and
\ntook one day to walk up to <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:15,840 –> 00:34:20,560
\nJerusalem and in the third day.
\nHe shall raise us up and we <\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:20,560 –> 00:34:24,120
\nshall live in His sight, and
\nthen shall we know, if we follow<\/p>\n
519
\n00:34:24,120 –> 00:34:27,280
\non to know Yahweh, His going
\nforth is prepared as the <\/p>\n
520
\n00:34:27,280 –> 00:34:29,320
\nmorning.
\nHe shall come unto us as the <\/p>\n
521
\n00:34:29,320 –> 00:34:31,800
\nrain, as the Latin, the former
\nrain upon the earth. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:32,320 –> 00:34:34,920
\nSo Jesus waited till the 3rd day
\nbecause the third day is the <\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:34,920 –> 00:34:37,239
\ntype of the Kingdom.
\nBrethren, the sisters, that’s. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:37,239 –> 00:34:42,320
\nWhen we all hope to be raised.
\nFrom the dead, so Jesus, when <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:42,320 –> 00:34:48,400
\nthen from, but from beyond
\nJordan, where the camp official <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:48,400 –> 00:34:50,920
\nwas, he crossed the place of
\nbaptism. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:51,400 –> 00:34:55,840
\nThen he went to Bethany, where
\nhe raised up the Lord, where he <\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:55,920 –> 00:34:59,760
\nraised up Lazarus.
\nAnd that must have been so <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:59,760 –> 00:35:05,240
\npowerful by the sisters, because
\nthe lesson of Beit Abbara is the<\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:05,480 –> 00:35:09,640
\nlesson of the resurrection, not.
\nBeing swept into the Dead Sea <\/p>\n
531
\n00:35:09,640 –> 00:35:13,320
\nbut entered into the Kingdom.
\nIt’s a lesson of the <\/p>\n
532
\n00:35:13,320 –> 00:35:18,080
\nresurrection typified by Elijah
\ngoing up to heaven, being taken <\/p>\n
533
\n00:35:18,080 –> 00:35:22,240
\naway from the earth at least.
\nAnd so Jesus had reflected on <\/p>\n
534
\n00:35:22,240 –> 00:35:27,400
\nthe resurrection by the sisters.
\nIn Beto Barra and now he himself<\/p>\n
535
\n00:35:28,160 –> 00:35:32,120
\nwas going to experience the
\npower of resurrection to <\/p>\n
536
\n00:35:32,160 –> 00:35:35,600
\nencourage him to lay down his
\nown life. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:35,600 –> 00:35:38,520
\nBecause that raising of Lazarus
\nwould have given him the <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:38,520 –> 00:35:42,800
\nstrength to cross that river
\nJordan that leads to death once <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:42,800 –> 00:35:46,280
\nmore before he went up for the
\nlast time in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:46,280 –> 00:35:50,280
\nBecause after he crossed his
\nriver, he did only once more <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:55,120
\nwhen he went to the place of a
\nschool, as we will see tomorrow.<\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:55,920 –> 00:36:00,640
\nSo he would have walked up, as
\nwe saw before, from Jericho and <\/p>\n
543
\n00:36:00,640 –> 00:36:05,800
\ngo to Bethany where Lazarus was.
\nNow the name Bethany people have<\/p>\n
544
\n00:36:05,800 –> 00:36:07,920
\ndifferent ideas about it I
\nbelieve. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:13,120
\nIt means the.
\nHouse of Felix, because Martha <\/p>\n
546
\n00:36:13,400 –> 00:36:17,440
\nand Mary and Lazarus, although
\nwe’re all very, very different <\/p>\n
547
\n00:36:17,440 –> 00:36:22,280
\nin character, Martha always
\nbusy, Mary sitting at the feet <\/p>\n
548
\n00:36:22,280 –> 00:36:25,800
\nof Jesus, and Lazarus was one
\nthat sat at the table with <\/p>\n
549
\n00:36:25,960 –> 00:36:27,920
\nJesus.
\nThat’s where all the discourses <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:27,920 –> 00:36:29,840
\ntook place.
\nAll those wonderful <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:29,840 –> 00:36:32,760
\nconversations were the sisters
\nat the table of Jesus and <\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:32,760 –> 00:36:35,560
\nLazarus was there at the table
\nof Jesus. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:35,840 –> 00:36:37,480
\nHe was one of one of his
\nfriends. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:37,480 –> 00:36:39,600
\nHe could have a conversation
\nabout the truth with. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:40,160 –> 00:36:42,520
\nWhen we sit round the table,
\nwhat do we talk about bread and <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:42,520 –> 00:36:44,320
\nsisters?
\nDo we talk about the truth? <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:44,600 –> 00:36:46,440
\nIs that table the table of our
\nLord? <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:46,600 –> 00:36:49,680
\nNot just to break bread and
\ndrink wine, but to be at the <\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:49,680 –> 00:36:52,920
\ntable of Jesus is to.
\nListen to him and to. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:52,920 –> 00:36:55,640
\nSpeak about the things that are
\nso important. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:55,960 –> 00:36:59,280
\nIt was in the.
\nHouse of the Good Figs. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:59,680 –> 00:37:04,080
\nThat came back from in the time
\nof Ezra and Nehemiah, because <\/p>\n
563
\n00:37:04,080 –> 00:37:08,480
\nthose figs God says in Jeremiah
\n24, I will bring again to this <\/p>\n
564
\n00:37:08,480 –> 00:37:10,480
\nland.
\nI will build them and not pull <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:10,480 –> 00:37:12,520
\nthem down.
\nI will plant them and not pluck <\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:12,520 –> 00:37:15,040
\nthem up and I will give them a
\nheart to. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:15,040 –> 00:37:18,320
\nKnow me and Martha and Mary and
\nLazarus. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:18,320 –> 00:37:24,000
\nKnew Jesus.
\nMary anointed his feet for his <\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:24,080 –> 00:37:25,400
\nburial.
\nShe was the. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:25,400 –> 00:37:30,200
\nOnly woman on that understood
\nwhy Jesus had to die when the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:35,640
\nsisters, but they are the heart
\nto know him and to know God, <\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:35,640 –> 00:37:38,720
\nthat I am Yao and they shall be
\nmy people and I’ll be the Elrim,<\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:39,000 –> 00:37:41,880
\nfor they shall return unto me
\nwith their whole heart like we <\/p>\n
574
\n00:37:41,880 –> 00:37:46,400
\njust read in Osia chapter 6.
\nSo when sisters, Jesus loved to <\/p>\n
575
\n00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:51,280
\nbe in the House of good figs,
\nand that is where we must be. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:51,920 –> 00:37:54,120
\nDon’t think, oh I don’t like
\nthat brother and I don’t like <\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:54,120 –> 00:37:56,680
\nthat sister because we are all
\nso different. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:37:56,680 –> 00:37:59,960
\nJust like Martha was different
\nfrom Mary and especially so <\/p>\n
579
\n00:37:59,960 –> 00:38:02,480
\ndifferent from Lazarus.
\nPregnant sisters. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:38:03,240 –> 00:38:06,360
\nGod has chosen each and every
\none of us. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:38:06,480 –> 00:38:09,640
\nThe only thing we can do is talk
\namong each other. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:38:09,640 –> 00:38:13,800
\nLike Malachi says, those that
\nfear the hours speak often one <\/p>\n
583
\n00:38:13,800 –> 00:38:15,160
\nto another.
\nNot about the holidays you’re <\/p>\n
584
\n00:38:15,160 –> 00:38:17,760
\ngoing to go to, not about the
\nsnow that falls in this <\/p>\n
585
\n00:38:17,760 –> 00:38:20,200
\ncountryside or about other
\nthings, but about the. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:38:21,040 –> 00:38:23,760
\nThings of God, our table
\nconversation should be <\/p>\n
587
\n00:38:23,760 –> 00:38:26,840
\ninteresting, just as the table
\nconversation as the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
588
\n00:38:26,840 –> 00:38:30,040
\nChrist must have been very
\ninteresting as well. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:38:30,720 –> 00:38:38,000
\nLet’s go to Chapter 11.
\nBecause now Lazarus was raised <\/p>\n
590
\n00:38:38,000 –> 00:38:40,880
\nfrom the dead and Jesus
\nexperienced the power of the <\/p>\n
591
\n00:38:40,880 –> 00:38:43,520
\nresurrection.
\nMust have been so comforting. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:38:45,040 –> 00:38:49,120
\nBut how did the Jews react,
\nbrain and sisters, to the <\/p>\n
593
\n00:38:49,120 –> 00:38:51,960
\nresurrection, to the raising of
\nLazarus? <\/p>\n
594
\n00:38:51,960 –> 00:38:55,680
\nWell, look at verse 53 of
\nChapter 11. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:38:56,200 –> 00:39:01,200
\nThen from that day forth, they
\ntook counsel together for to put<\/p>\n
596
\n00:39:01,200 –> 00:39:04,120
\nhim to death.
\nThat’s all the Jews could do. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:39:04,720 –> 00:39:06,640
\nThat’s.
\nAll they wanted to do to get rid<\/p>\n
598
\n00:39:06,640 –> 00:39:10,800
\nof him, the man who could raise
\nsomebody, somebody from the <\/p>\n
599
\n00:39:10,800 –> 00:39:12,880
\ndead.
\nWhat did Jesus do? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:39:13,920 –> 00:39:18,480
\nIt’s the only reference we have
\nin all of the four gospels. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:39:18,840 –> 00:39:21,560
\nVerse 54.
\nJesus therefore walked no more <\/p>\n
602
\n00:39:21,600 –> 00:39:26,680
\nopenly among the Jews, but He
\nwent thence into a country near <\/p>\n
603
\n00:39:26,680 –> 00:39:30,560
\nto the wilderness, into a city
\ncalled Ephraim, and there <\/p>\n
604
\n00:39:30,560 –> 00:39:35,880
\ncontinued with his disciples.
\nDid he go to the city of Ephraim<\/p>\n
605
\n00:39:35,880 –> 00:39:37,760
\nbecause he was afraid of the
\nsun? <\/p>\n
606
\n00:39:37,760 –> 00:39:40,000
\nAdrian because although they
\nsought him, they couldn’t even <\/p>\n
607
\n00:39:40,000 –> 00:39:42,520
\nfind him?
\nDid He go to Egypt because they <\/p>\n
608
\n00:39:42,520 –> 00:39:45,840
\nwere afraid of Herod?
\nJesus full well trusted in His <\/p>\n
609
\n00:39:45,840 –> 00:39:49,560
\nFather that He would preserve
\nHim till He paid that final <\/p>\n
610
\n00:39:49,560 –> 00:39:51,360
\nprice on the cross by my
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:39:51,640 –> 00:39:55,840
\nBut why did He go to a city
\ncalled Ephraim? <\/p>\n
612
\n00:39:56,880 –> 00:40:00,280
\nAnd where is that city?
\nHe went there not because He was<\/p>\n
613
\n00:40:00,280 –> 00:40:05,120
\nafraid of the Pharisees.
\nHe went there to be strengthened<\/p>\n
614
\n00:40:05,160 –> 00:40:08,760
\nby my sisters by what happened
\nin that particular place in the <\/p>\n
615
\n00:40:08,760 –> 00:40:15,800
\npast, in the Old Testament.
\nYou see, we don’t read about a <\/p>\n
616
\n00:40:16,560 –> 00:40:20,960
\ncity called Ephraim anywhere
\nelse in the Scriptures, but we <\/p>\n
617
\n00:40:21,160 –> 00:40:27,400
\ndo know that it is most likely a
\ncity which is nowadays in the <\/p>\n
618
\n00:40:27,400 –> 00:40:31,960
\nWest Bank called ET Tyben, a
\ncity that is less than about 30 <\/p>\n
619
\n00:40:32,480 –> 00:40:35,640
\nkilometres NE of Jerusalem.
\nIt’s on the edge of the desert <\/p>\n
620
\n00:40:35,640 –> 00:40:38,440
\nthat goes down into into the
\nJordan Valley. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:40:38,680 –> 00:40:44,760
\nIt used to be a city of Sumeria.
\nBut in 145 BC it was ceded to <\/p>\n
622
\n00:40:44,760 –> 00:40:50,000
\nJudea because it presumably had
\na Jewish population at the time,<\/p>\n
623
\n00:40:50,320 –> 00:40:53,680
\nand then its name was changed to
\nEphraim. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:40:53,960 –> 00:40:56,920
\nFrom what?
\nFrom a very similar. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:40:56,920 –> 00:41:00,160
\nSounding name the place was
\ncalled Ofra. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:41:02,000 –> 00:41:05,600
\nCheers went to Ofra of the Abias
\nrights. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:41:05,960 –> 00:41:10,880
\nRenamed A-frame about a century
\nand a half before Jesus went <\/p>\n
628
\n00:41:10,880 –> 00:41:14,960
\nthere.
\nIt was a city in Joshua 18 and <\/p>\n
629
\n00:41:14,960 –> 00:41:25,870
\nverse 23 that belonged to the
\nBenjamites. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:41:32,560 –> 00:41:34,880
\nIt says in verse 21.
\nNow the cities of the tribe of <\/p>\n
631
\n00:41:34,880 –> 00:41:37,680
\nthe children of Benjamin,
\naccording to their families, <\/p>\n
632
\n00:41:37,840 –> 00:41:40,520
\nwere Jericho.
\nWe know where that is. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:41:40,720 –> 00:41:43,840
\nAnd then Beth Hokla, that is
\nWhitehall, Gilgalis, very close <\/p>\n
634
\n00:41:43,840 –> 00:41:49,360
\nto River Jordan and the valley
\nof Kezis and Beth Arabah, <\/p>\n
635
\n00:41:49,400 –> 00:41:52,880
\nBethabahra, same place where
\nwe’ve been talking about Zemran <\/p>\n
636
\n00:41:52,880 –> 00:41:57,840
\nand Bethel and Avin, Empara and
\nOfra, that city was. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:41:57,840 –> 00:42:00,720
\nRenamed Ephraim in the time of
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:42:01,160 –> 00:42:06,400
\nNow what is the reason why Jesus
\nwent there just before he went <\/p>\n
639
\n00:42:06,400 –> 00:42:08,480
\non his last journey to be
\ncrucified? <\/p>\n
640
\n00:42:10,000 –> 00:42:15,360
\nHow about in Who Lived in OFRA?
\nLet’s go to Judges Chapter 6. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:42:24,600 –> 00:42:29,760
\nAnd that is why I believe Jesus
\nwent to Ofra, renamed Ephraim in<\/p>\n
642
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:35,280
\nthat time.
\nAnd then we have in verse 11, <\/p>\n
643
\n00:42:36,280 –> 00:42:41,360
\nthere came an Angel of Yahwah
\nand sat under the oak, not the <\/p>\n
644
\n00:42:41,360 –> 00:42:45,320
\noak of the teacher, but a very
\nimportant place, the oak which <\/p>\n
645
\n00:42:45,320 –> 00:42:50,000
\nis in Ofra that pertain to
\nJoashi Abizrid and the Saint <\/p>\n
646
\n00:42:50,000 –> 00:42:54,600
\nGideon thrashed beat by the wine
\npress to hide it from the <\/p>\n
647
\n00:42:54,600 –> 00:42:56,040
\nMidianites.
\nAnd it’s so. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:42:56,040 –> 00:42:58,200
\nClearly in this illustrated in
\nthis place. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:42:58,200 –> 00:43:03,840
\nWell, here’s the modern city of
\nEphraim, known for its Tiber <\/p>\n
650
\n00:43:03,840 –> 00:43:05,720
\nbeer.
\nBy the way, there’s some <\/p>\n
651
\n00:43:05,720 –> 00:43:07,800
\nchurches, there’s a Christian
\npopulation there. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:43:08,520 –> 00:43:10,760
\nAnd you can look.
\nOut over the fields, the <\/p>\n
653
\n00:43:10,760 –> 00:43:16,360
\nsurroundings of Ephraim.
\nAnd here you can see why was <\/p>\n
654
\n00:43:16,360 –> 00:43:18,560
\nGideon threshing wheat by the
\nVine Press. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:43:19,440 –> 00:43:24,120
\nThat is not a very productive
\nway of threshing, because <\/p>\n
656
\n00:43:24,160 –> 00:43:27,840
\nthreshing is all done on the.
\nTop of the mountain because you <\/p>\n
657
\n00:43:27,840 –> 00:43:31,040
\nneed a wind to blow the chaff
\naway, but you can see it for <\/p>\n
658
\n00:43:31,040 –> 00:43:34,880
\nmiles around.
\nWhere’s the vine press located? <\/p>\n
659
\n00:43:35,880 –> 00:43:38,920
\nWell, you need to bring your
\ngrapes to the wine press. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:43:39,040 –> 00:43:40,400
\nYou don’t need to thread them
\nwith your ground. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:43:40,400 –> 00:43:41,320
\nDoesn’t matter the way you do
\nit. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:43:41,600 –> 00:43:45,560
\nWhat’s the easiest way to carry
\ngrapes down into the valley <\/p>\n
663
\n00:43:45,560 –> 00:43:47,240
\nwhere the wine press would be
\nlocated? <\/p>\n
664
\n00:43:47,480 –> 00:43:50,440
\nBut to thresh wheat where
\nthere’s no wind was a very hard <\/p>\n
665
\n00:43:50,440 –> 00:43:52,800
\njob.
\nBut he did it just to preserve <\/p>\n
666
\n00:43:52,800 –> 00:43:55,520
\nfood for his family, brethren
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:43:56,280 –> 00:44:00,960
\nSo there was the Angel, and he
\nstrengthened him to go and fight<\/p>\n
668
\n00:44:00,960 –> 00:44:04,240
\nagainst the Midianites.
\nGideon wasn’t up to the task. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:44:04,840 –> 00:44:09,440
\nWhat did he say in verse 13?
\nO my Adon, if Yahweh be with us,<\/p>\n
670
\n00:44:09,640 –> 00:44:11,720
\nwhy then is all this befallen
\nus? <\/p>\n
671
\n00:44:12,040 –> 00:44:14,960
\nAnd there are all the signs
\nwhich our fathers told us of <\/p>\n
672
\n00:44:14,960 –> 00:44:17,680
\nsaying, did not Yahweh bring us
\nup out of Egypt? <\/p>\n
673
\n00:44:18,000 –> 00:44:21,280
\nBut now Yahweh has forsaken us
\nand delivered us into the hands <\/p>\n
674
\n00:44:21,280 –> 00:44:23,880
\nof the Midianites.
\nAnd then Yahweh, that’s the <\/p>\n
675
\n00:44:23,880 –> 00:44:28,800
\nAngel, looked upon him and said,
\ngo in this thy might. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:44:29,800 –> 00:44:34,160
\nWhat was the might of Gideon?
\nHe believed that Yahweh has <\/p>\n
677
\n00:44:34,160 –> 00:44:36,400
\nbrought up the children of
\nIsrael out of Egypt. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:44:36,480 –> 00:44:39,120
\nThat runs right through the
\nScriptures and that’s what we <\/p>\n
679
\n00:44:39,120 –> 00:44:43,400
\nbelieve also.
\nAnd then he asked for a sign, <\/p>\n
680
\n00:44:45,360 –> 00:44:50,400
\nand he told him to bring an
\noffering in verse 20. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:44:50,440 –> 00:44:54,080
\nVerse 19, Gideon went in and
\nmade ready a kid and unleavened <\/p>\n
682
\n00:44:54,080 –> 00:44:57,160
\ncakes of an ether of flour.
\nThe flesh he put in the basket. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:44:57,160 –> 00:44:59,480
\nHe put the broth in the pot and
\nbrought it out onto him under <\/p>\n
684
\n00:44:59,480 –> 00:45:02,000
\nthe oak and presented it.
\nThe Angel of Elohim said onto <\/p>\n
685
\n00:45:02,000 –> 00:45:04,800
\nhim, Take the flesh and the
\nunleavened cakes, lay them on <\/p>\n
686
\n00:45:05,120 –> 00:45:08,360
\nthis rock and pour out the
\nbroth. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:11,560
\nAnd he did so.
\nAnd the Angel of Yawa put forth <\/p>\n
688
\n00:45:11,560 –> 00:45:14,000
\nthe end of the staff which was
\nin his hand, touched the flesh <\/p>\n
689
\n00:45:14,000 –> 00:45:16,640
\nand the unleavened cakes, and
\nthere rose up fire out of the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:45:16,640 –> 00:45:19,120
\nrock, consumed the flesh and
\nunleavened cakes. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:45:19,400 –> 00:45:21,680
\nThen the Angel of Yawa departed
\nout of his sight. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:45:22,040 –> 00:45:24,360
\nHis sacrifice was accepted by
\nthe sisters. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:45:24,520 –> 00:45:29,000
\nIt was a totally a holy burnt
\nsacrifice, a sin offering. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:45:29,560 –> 00:45:32,840
\nSo he was he Gideon, he believed
\nthat God had brought him out of <\/p>\n
695
\n00:45:32,840 –> 00:45:35,880
\nthe House of sin at the House of
\nEgypt and he brought his <\/p>\n
696
\n00:45:35,880 –> 00:45:40,960
\nsacrifice and that was accepted.
\nNow he did all sorts of things <\/p>\n
697
\n00:45:40,960 –> 00:45:49,600
\nfor the sisters because he cast
\ndown the altar of Baal in verse <\/p>\n
698
\n00:45:51,120 –> 00:45:53,760
\na bit later in this in the
\nchapter, we see that he built an<\/p>\n
699
\n00:45:53,760 –> 00:45:56,960
\naltar and then he cast down the
\naltar of Baal. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:45:56,960 –> 00:46:00,200
\nAnd then the people of the city
\ngathered themselves against him,<\/p>\n
701
\n00:46:00,200 –> 00:46:03,240
\nwent to Abyei’s father, said he
\nmust be put to death. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:46:03,960 –> 00:46:06,440
\nSo he was Gideon, who believed
\nthat God brought him out of <\/p>\n
703
\n00:46:06,440 –> 00:46:08,240
\nEgypt.
\nHe brought his sacrifice. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:46:08,240 –> 00:46:11,160
\nHe was going to be killed by the
\nmen of his city, and he was. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:46:11,160 –> 00:46:14,960
\nHelped by his father.
\nJesus also was. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:46:15,240 –> 00:46:17,840
\nHelped by his.
\nFather so that death did not <\/p>\n
707
\n00:46:17,840 –> 00:46:21,200
\nprevail over him.
\nThat was after he destroyed the <\/p>\n
708
\n00:46:21,200 –> 00:46:24,800
\naltar of Baal and Jesus.
\nAlso, he fought against a <\/p>\n
709
\n00:46:24,800 –> 00:46:26,840
\ntradition that nullified the
\nword of God. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:46:27,040 –> 00:46:29,560
\nHe instituted a new covenant
\nwhich was based on his. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:46:29,560 –> 00:46:34,400
\nSacrifice because the people had
\nsaid in verse 30 of the previous<\/p>\n
712
\n00:46:34,400 –> 00:46:38,320
\nchapter that he should die, but
\nhe was saved by his father. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:46:38,320 –> 00:46:41,520
\nFather, a beautiful type of God
\nsaving his son. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:46:41,760 –> 00:46:43,240
\nThat’s why Jesus wanted to be
\nthere. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:46:44,360 –> 00:46:49,440
\nBut then he asked for a sign
\nbefore he went out to battle. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:46:50,920 –> 00:46:55,200
\nIn verse 36 of chapter 6, Gideon
\nsaid unto God, If thou wilt save<\/p>\n
717
\n00:46:55,200 –> 00:46:59,040
\nIsrael by mine hand, as thou has
\nsaid, we’ll put a fleece. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:46:59,680 –> 00:47:01,040
\nIt’s not a.
\nFleece. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:47:01,240 –> 00:47:06,960
\nAnd here it is the fleece which
\nfleece, the fleece of that sin <\/p>\n
720
\n00:47:06,960 –> 00:47:09,880
\noffering which he had brought in
\nfront of the Angel, in which <\/p>\n
721
\n00:47:10,120 –> 00:47:13,120
\nwhich was accepted.
\nNow he took that fleece which <\/p>\n
722
\n00:47:13,160 –> 00:47:15,080
\nrepresented that sacrificial
\nanimal. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:47:15,280 –> 00:47:18,000
\nHe put it in the floor, the
\nthreshing floor. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:47:18,680 –> 00:47:22,200
\nHe says, If dew be only on the
\nfleece and dry on the earth <\/p>\n
725
\n00:47:22,200 –> 00:47:24,800
\nbeside it, then I shall know
\nthat thou would save Israel by <\/p>\n
726
\n00:47:24,800 –> 00:47:27,240
\nmine hand, as thou are said.
\nAnd it was so. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:47:27,960 –> 00:47:33,640
\nSo what he did is he took that
\nfleece of war and he put it, and<\/p>\n
728
\n00:47:33,640 –> 00:47:39,200
\nthe dew came only on the fleece,
\nbut not on the floor or the dew <\/p>\n
729
\n00:47:39,200 –> 00:47:43,680
\nrepresent Breton sisters.
\nAs Moses said dew, and as Jacob <\/p>\n
730
\n00:47:43,680 –> 00:47:45,720
\nsaid, dew is a blessing from
\nheaven. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:47:46,000 –> 00:47:51,000
\nThat blessing first came only on
\nthat sacrificial animal. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:47:51,840 –> 00:47:55,720
\nOnly Christ is the first
\nbegotten of the dead. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:47:55,920 –> 00:48:00,240
\nHe was the first one that was
\nblessed, but it doesn’t stop <\/p>\n
734
\n00:48:00,240 –> 00:48:02,680
\nthere.
\nChrist is not the only one that <\/p>\n
735
\n00:48:02,680 –> 00:48:06,240
\nis going to be saved because
\nkeeping us for a second sign. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:48:06,680 –> 00:48:08,880
\nLook at verse 39.
\nHe says let not thine anger be <\/p>\n
737
\n00:48:08,880 –> 00:48:12,280
\nhot against me now speak but
\nthis ones let me prove I pray to<\/p>\n
738
\n00:48:12,280 –> 00:48:14,680
\nthis one.
\nThis ones with the fleece, let <\/p>\n
739
\n00:48:14,680 –> 00:48:16,640
\nit now be dry upon the fleece
\nonly. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:48:16,960 –> 00:48:18,400
\nAnd all the ground platter be it
\nyou. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:48:19,560 –> 00:48:23,720
\nAnd it was so God hearken to
\nhim, because the signs he asked <\/p>\n
742
\n00:48:23,720 –> 00:48:27,560
\nfor were in accordance with the
\npurpose of God to save Christ <\/p>\n
743
\n00:48:27,560 –> 00:48:30,960
\nfirst from the dead, and then
\nwhen he comes back, the <\/p>\n
744
\n00:48:30,960 –> 00:48:35,000
\nresurrection will take place.
\nLike all of us on the floor and <\/p>\n
745
\n00:48:35,000 –> 00:48:40,400
\nthen we get our blessing also.
\nSo it’s a wonderful type. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:48:40,560 –> 00:48:43,680
\nHe asked for and God hearkened
\nunto him. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:48:44,200 –> 00:48:51,320
\nThen he brought the man 22,000
\nto the to the well of Kharat. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:48:51,320 –> 00:48:54,760
\nThere were 20. 2000 people who
\nsaid whoever is afraid go away. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:48:54,760 –> 00:48:58,520
\nHe says 10,000 left.
\nHe brought him to the water and <\/p>\n
750
\n00:48:58,520 –> 00:49:01,640
\nall the people that drank,
\nscooping up the water but <\/p>\n
751
\n00:49:01,720 –> 00:49:05,760
\nremaining vigilant, those are
\nthe ones that he could work <\/p>\n
752
\n00:49:05,760 –> 00:49:07,920
\nwith.
\nWe all need to be watched for as<\/p>\n
753
\n00:49:07,920 –> 00:49:10,200
\nJesus said.
\nTherefore watch because you know<\/p>\n
754
\n00:49:10,200 –> 00:49:12,520
\nnot what hour your Lord will
\ncome. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:49:13,040 –> 00:49:15,640
\nAnd chagrot means the bell of
\ntrembling. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:49:15,640 –> 00:49:19,600
\nPeople were fearful and all
\nthose 22,000 that were afraid. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:49:19,880 –> 00:49:23,880
\nThey they went away who swear is
\nfearful afraid, let him return <\/p>\n
758
\n00:49:23,880 –> 00:49:27,480
\nand depart Early says in
\nrevelation, that the fearful. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:49:27,920 –> 00:49:30,640
\nAnd the unbelieving and all
\nliars shall have no part. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:49:30,640 –> 00:49:32,560
\nThey have a part in the lake
\nthat burns this fire and <\/p>\n
761
\n00:49:32,560 –> 00:49:34,320
\nbrimstone, which is the second
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:49:34,960 –> 00:49:38,440
\nIt’s our Jesus that it’s your
\nFather’s good pleasure to give <\/p>\n
763
\n00:49:38,520 –> 00:49:41,080
\nyou the Kingdom.
\nThere’s nothing to be afraid of <\/p>\n
764
\n00:49:41,080 –> 00:49:44,400
\nby the sisters.
\nAnd then we have got this <\/p>\n
765
\n00:49:44,640 –> 00:49:48,360
\nvictory over the Midianites.
\nHow did they achieve the <\/p>\n
766
\n00:49:48,360 –> 00:49:51,240
\nvictory?
\nThey broke the jars and the <\/p>\n
767
\n00:49:51,240 –> 00:49:55,000
\nlight was shining out of only
\n300 people. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:49:56,080 –> 00:50:18,070
\nGo to 2nd Corinthians chapter 4.
\nI said in verse 6, the God who <\/p>\n
769
\n00:50:18,070 –> 00:50:21,550
\ncommanded the light to shine out
\nof the darkness has shined in <\/p>\n
770
\n00:50:21,550 –> 00:50:24,750
\nour hearts to give the light of
\nthe knowledge of the glory of <\/p>\n
771
\n00:50:24,750 –> 00:50:29,030
\nGod in the face of Jesus Christ.
\nThat’s the light that’s shone <\/p>\n
772
\n00:50:29,030 –> 00:50:33,230
\nout when when those earthen
\nvessels were broken. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:50:33,630 –> 00:50:36,870
\nWe for seven we have this
\ntreasure in earthen vessels. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:50:37,120 –> 00:50:40,440
\nThat the Excellency of the power
\nmay be of God and not of us. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:50:40,640 –> 00:50:44,080
\nWe are those urban vessels,
\npregnant sisters, but we should <\/p>\n
776
\n00:50:44,080 –> 00:50:47,040
\nhave the light burning in us,
\nbecause when these vessels will <\/p>\n
777
\n00:50:47,040 –> 00:50:50,880
\nbe broken at the resurrection
\nand mortality will be soloed up <\/p>\n
778
\n00:50:50,880 –> 00:50:53,680
\nof immortality, then our light
\nwill shine out and. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:50:53,680 –> 00:50:57,600
\nAll the enemies of God, they
\nwill be scattered. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:50:59,280 –> 00:51:05,640
\nAnd then in Chapter 7 of Judges,
\nlet’s go back to Judges. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:51:06,840 –> 00:51:13,960
\nWe see the.
\nVictory of Gideon, he called the<\/p>\n
782
\n00:51:13,960 –> 00:51:16,120
\nmen of Ephraim and where did
\nthey go? <\/p>\n
783
\n00:51:16,120 –> 00:51:21,200
\nBy the sisters.
\nIt’s fantastic to see because in<\/p>\n
784
\n00:51:21,200 –> 00:51:24,600
\nverse after they’ve broken those
\npictures and they said the sword<\/p>\n
785
\n00:51:24,600 –> 00:51:30,200
\nof young, the sword of Gideon,
\nthen Gideon in verse 24, they <\/p>\n
786
\n00:51:30,200 –> 00:51:34,040
\nsend messengers throughout all
\nEphraim saying come down against<\/p>\n
787
\n00:51:34,040 –> 00:51:37,800
\nthe Midianites and take them
\nbefore the waters of Beta Bahra <\/p>\n
788
\n00:51:37,880 –> 00:51:41,200
\nand Jordan.
\nThat’s what they went to, to <\/p>\n
789
\n00:51:41,200 –> 00:51:45,480
\novercome their enemies.
\nThey went to Beit a Barra. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:51:45,840 –> 00:51:48,480
\nAll the men of Ephraim gathered
\nthemselves together, and took <\/p>\n
791
\n00:51:48,480 –> 00:51:51,280
\nthe waters of Beta, Barra, and
\nJordan, And they took the two <\/p>\n
792
\n00:51:51,280 –> 00:51:53,280
\nPrince of the Midianites, Orab
\nand Zeb. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:51:53,480 –> 00:51:56,520
\nThey slew Orab, and upon upon
\nthe rock of Orab and Zeb they <\/p>\n
794
\n00:51:56,520 –> 00:52:00,160
\nslew by the wine presence of
\nZeb, pursued Midian, and brought<\/p>\n
795
\n00:52:00,160 –> 00:52:03,840
\nthe heads of Orab and Gideon and
\nZeb to Gideon on the other side <\/p>\n
796
\n00:52:03,840 –> 00:52:05,040
\nJordan.
\nIn the camp of. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:52:05,960 –> 00:52:07,760
\nLook at this, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:52:08,000 –> 00:52:11,840
\nSo Jesus went to Ofra.
\nThis is the road. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:52:12,920 –> 00:52:18,000
\nThis is the road from Tiber’s to
\nDiscord nowadays as Ofra, the <\/p>\n
800
\n00:52:18,000 –> 00:52:21,600
\ncity of Prime, where Jesus went.
\nAnd Jesus also went to <\/p>\n
801
\n00:52:21,600 –> 00:52:25,440
\nBethabara.
\nHe walked here over this path on<\/p>\n
802
\n00:52:25,440 –> 00:52:30,200
\nthe top of the mountains,
\nfollowing the victorious army of<\/p>\n
803
\n00:52:30,200 –> 00:52:34,800
\nGideon going to Bethabara.
\nHe must have been buoyed up by <\/p>\n
804
\n00:52:34,840 –> 00:52:38,520
\nall that had happened in this
\nplace, the village of Ephraim, <\/p>\n
805
\n00:52:38,520 –> 00:52:40,320
\nwhere he went to.
\nHe didn’t go there. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:52:40,600 –> 00:52:43,520
\nBecause he was afraid of the
\nPharisees, he went there to <\/p>\n
807
\n00:52:43,520 –> 00:52:49,760
\nmeditate on the story of Gideon
\nand his faith and his victory, <\/p>\n
808
\n00:52:49,840 –> 00:52:51,760
\nand that is a wonderful thing to
\nremember. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:52:51,760 –> 00:52:57,680
\nBrothers and sisters, you read
\nPsalm 83 at Eulesian and you <\/p>\n
810
\n00:52:57,680 –> 00:53:01,000
\nwill see it’s a type of the
\nKingdom to come. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:53:02,920 –> 00:53:05,800
\nThat still it was difficult for
\nJesus because he says in Luke 12<\/p>\n
812
\n00:53:05,800 –> 00:53:08,840
\nand 50 I have a baptized, a
\nbaptism to be baptized with and <\/p>\n
813
\n00:53:08,960 –> 00:53:11,880
\nhow am I straightened till it be
\naccomplished. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:53:12,280 –> 00:53:16,120
\nGod helped him by sending an
\nAngel in the Garden of Eden, but<\/p>\n
815
\n00:53:16,120 –> 00:53:20,520
\nalso by visiting those places
\nand reflecting on the history of<\/p>\n
816
\n00:53:20,520 –> 00:53:24,440
\nIsrael which is full of types of
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:53:25,880 –> 00:53:28,800
\nNow it is interesting that if
\nyou follow. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:53:30,720 –> 00:53:35,240
\nThe root of Jesus, when he went
\nback from Ephraim and he went to<\/p>\n
819
\n00:53:35,240 –> 00:53:38,680
\nBethabara.
\nNow first of all, Jesus heals <\/p>\n
820
\n00:53:38,680 –> 00:53:43,040
\nthe 10 lepers and only one came
\nback to thank him. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:53:44,000 –> 00:53:48,720
\nIt’s a lesser for us, brethren.
\nSisters, we all do work and we <\/p>\n
822
\n00:53:48,720 –> 00:53:51,880
\nall help one another, but how
\noften do you get a thank you? <\/p>\n
823
\n00:53:53,280 –> 00:53:55,880
\nIt’s so important, brethren,
\nsister, to show our gratitude <\/p>\n
824
\n00:53:55,880 –> 00:53:57,960
\nfor all the work which our
\nbrethren and sisters are doing <\/p>\n
825
\n00:53:57,960 –> 00:54:00,040
\nfor us.
\nIt doesn’t matter where it is, a<\/p>\n
826
\n00:54:00,040 –> 00:54:03,280
\nsister who makes a cup of tea
\nfor us, or a brother who serves,<\/p>\n
827
\n00:54:03,520 –> 00:54:05,560
\nor a brother who does other
\nthings better. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:54:05,560 –> 00:54:07,800
\nSisters, it is important to be
\nthankful. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:54:07,800 –> 00:54:11,280
\nThat was the lesson Jesus taught
\njust before he went for the last<\/p>\n
830
\n00:54:11,280 –> 00:54:14,600
\ntime up to Jerusalem.
\nAnd he blesses little children. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:54:15,920 –> 00:54:17,600
\nThat’s what He should do.
\nWe should look after our young <\/p>\n
832
\n00:54:17,600 –> 00:54:20,440
\nchildren, bring them up as Abram
\ndid. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:54:20,680 –> 00:54:24,560
\nHe commanded his children that
\nthey should fear Yahweh because <\/p>\n
834
\n00:54:24,560 –> 00:54:26,160
\nthen we can bring them into the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:54:26,160 –> 00:54:30,480
\nBrethren, Sisters.
\nBut when he went there in Luke <\/p>\n
836
\n00:54:30,480 –> 00:54:35,040
\n17, there’s something else very,
\nvery interesting just before he <\/p>\n
837
\n00:54:35,040 –> 00:54:38,160
\ncrossed over, because he went
\nback to the place of the camp of<\/p>\n
838
\n00:54:38,160 –> 00:54:44,480
\nIsrael.
\nAnd in Luke 17, I mean it is not<\/p>\n
839
\n00:54:44,480 –> 00:54:49,240
\nrecorded, but this took place
\nexactly when just before he came<\/p>\n
840
\n00:54:49,240 –> 00:54:57,440
\nto Jericho.
\nYou see in in chapter 19 he is <\/p>\n
841
\n00:54:57,440 –> 00:55:02,160
\nin Jericho, but just before that
\nwhen he must have been at Beto <\/p>\n
842
\n00:55:02,160 –> 00:55:05,640
\nBarra.
\nHe says as it was in the days of<\/p>\n
843
\n00:55:05,640 –> 00:55:09,160
\nNoah, so shall it be in the days
\nof the Son of Man that it eat <\/p>\n
844
\n00:55:09,160 –> 00:55:11,680
\nthey drank their marriage wise.
\nThey were given in marriage <\/p>\n
845
\n00:55:11,760 –> 00:55:15,280
\nuntil the day that Noah entered
\ninto the ark, the flood came and<\/p>\n
846
\n00:55:15,280 –> 00:55:19,040
\ndestroyed them all.
\nLikewise, as it was in the days <\/p>\n
847
\n00:55:19,040 –> 00:55:23,000
\nof Lot, they did eat, they
\ndrank, they bought, they sold, <\/p>\n
848
\n00:55:23,000 –> 00:55:26,560
\nthey planted, they build it.
\nBut the same day that Lot went <\/p>\n
849
\n00:55:26,560 –> 00:55:30,440
\nout of Sodom, it rained fire and
\nbrains them from heaven, and <\/p>\n
850
\n00:55:30,440 –> 00:55:33,160
\ndestroyed them all.
\nEven so shall it be in the days <\/p>\n
851
\n00:55:33,320 –> 00:55:36,760
\nwhen the Son of Man is revealed.
\nIn that day, he which be on the <\/p>\n
852
\n00:55:36,760 –> 00:55:40,120
\nhousetop and is tough in the
\nhouse, let him not come down to <\/p>\n
853
\n00:55:40,120 –> 00:55:41,720
\ntake it away.
\nHe is in the field. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:55:41,720 –> 00:55:43,360
\nLet him likewise not return
\nback. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:55:43,880 –> 00:55:49,320
\nRemember Lot’s wife?
\nWhere was Jesus when he settled?<\/p>\n
856
\n00:55:49,320 –> 00:55:54,520
\nBy his sisters?
\nHe was right beside Sodom <\/p>\n
857
\n00:55:55,880 –> 00:55:57,880
\nbecause.
\nSodom was where you heard the <\/p>\n
858
\n00:55:57,880 –> 00:56:01,680
\nlecture, right opposite Jericho.
\nHe came down from the city of <\/p>\n
859
\n00:56:01,680 –> 00:56:03,240
\nEphraim.
\nHe crossed over. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:56:03,240 –> 00:56:04,960
\nBetter virus.
\nStay in the camp, professor, <\/p>\n
861
\n00:56:04,960 –> 00:56:07,720
\nright beside Sodom.
\nAnd he taught him again the <\/p>\n
862
\n00:56:07,720 –> 00:56:10,400
\nlesson of Sodom.
\nIt’s a lesson which you need to <\/p>\n
863
\n00:56:10,400 –> 00:56:14,000
\nbe reminded of by the sisters
\ntime and time again. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:56:14,040 –> 00:56:17,880
\nAnd then he crossed for the last
\ntime in Baitabarah to go up to <\/p>\n
865
\n00:56:17,880 –> 00:56:21,520
\nJerusalem.
\nSo what are all the associations<\/p>\n
866
\n00:56:21,520 –> 00:56:23,120
\nwith the place which we have
\nlearned? <\/p>\n
867
\n00:56:23,400 –> 00:56:26,080
\nIt was the place where the camp
\nof Israel was located. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:56:26,480 –> 00:56:27,960
\nIt was the place where
\nDeuteronomy. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:56:27,960 –> 00:56:30,200
\nScroll was written.
\nIt was the place where the <\/p>\n
870
\n00:56:30,200 –> 00:56:32,440
\nwaters were cut off.
\nWhen the Israelites entered the <\/p>\n
871
\n00:56:32,440 –> 00:56:35,880
\nPromised Land, the Ark of the
\nCovenant went before them. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:56:36,080 –> 00:56:38,480
\nSince we may learn the way by
\nwhich we may go. <\/p>\n
873
\n00:56:38,840 –> 00:56:42,600
\nThe 12 Stones were taken out of
\nthe river of death, and all the <\/p>\n
874
\n00:56:42,600 –> 00:56:45,160
\nmales were circumcised.
\nBecause in the Kingdom all flesh<\/p>\n
875
\n00:56:45,160 –> 00:56:48,040
\nwill be cut off.
\nThe Passover will be kept. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:56:48,040 –> 00:56:50,120
\nBecause Jesus will complete the
\nPassover. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:56:50,360 –> 00:56:53,400
\nWhen you eat, when you drink it
\nnew with us in his Kingdom, <\/p>\n
878
\n00:56:53,400 –> 00:56:56,480
\nHe’ll drink that last cup.
\nHe will take us to Himself. <\/p>\n
879
\n00:56:56,480 –> 00:57:00,160
\nFor a people, He would have
\nreminded himself of Gideon’s <\/p>\n
880
\n00:57:00,160 –> 00:57:02,240
\nvictory.
\nHe would have reminded himself <\/p>\n
881
\n00:57:02,240 –> 00:57:05,400
\nwhen David fled over Beto Barra
\nfrom his son Absalom. <\/p>\n
882
\n00:57:05,760 –> 00:57:09,720
\nBut he came back the second time
\nas King Elijah went up to her <\/p>\n
883
\n00:57:09,720 –> 00:57:12,200
\nwhirlwind.
\nIt was the place where Jesus was<\/p>\n
884
\n00:57:12,200 –> 00:57:16,160
\nbaptised and he started his
\nministry and it’s a place where <\/p>\n
885
\n00:57:16,160 –> 00:57:19,880
\nhe overcame temptation.
\nWhat a powerful place by the <\/p>\n
886
\n00:57:19,880 –> 00:57:23,240
\nsisters that must have been and
\nthen before. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:57:23,560 –> 00:57:27,120
\nHe went to the place of a skull.
\nHe came to Bethany again. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:57:27,440 –> 00:57:32,120
\nIt was like his second home.
\nHe needed the encouragement of <\/p>\n
889
\n00:57:32,120 –> 00:57:35,200
\nhis friends, of Martha, Mary and
\nLazarus. <\/p>\n
890
\n00:57:35,200 –> 00:57:41,000
\nHe made their home a base for
\nthe last few days of his life <\/p>\n
891
\n00:57:41,000 –> 00:57:44,520
\nbefore he went to his cross.
\nAnd must have given Jesus so <\/p>\n
892
\n00:57:44,520 –> 00:57:47,280
\nmuch comfort, brethren, sister,
\nto stay with his brethren and <\/p>\n
893
\n00:57:47,280 –> 00:57:51,160
\nhis sisters during those last in
\nthose dreadful days. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:57:52,200 –> 00:57:54,680
\nBut Jesus having loved his
\nfriends, he was going to show <\/p>\n
895
\n00:57:54,680 –> 00:57:58,520
\nthem the ultimate love, which
\ntrue friendship on which true <\/p>\n
896
\n00:57:58,520 –> 00:58:01,680
\nfriendship should be based.
\nJesus says in John 15, Greater <\/p>\n
897
\n00:58:01,680 –> 00:58:05,760
\nlove has no man that this that a
\nman lay down his life or his <\/p>\n
898
\n00:58:05,760 –> 00:58:08,640
\nfriends.
\nYe are my friends, he says to <\/p>\n
899
\n00:58:08,760 –> 00:58:11,600
\nall of us.
\nIf you do whatsoever I command <\/p>\n
900
\n00:58:11,600 –> 00:58:14,720
\nyou, that, then always,
\nbrethren, says, obey the <\/p>\n
901
\n00:58:14,720 –> 00:58:19,360
\ncommandments of Christ, so that
\nwe also may be counted among his<\/p>\n
902
\n00:58:19,360 –> 00:58:20,000
\nfriends.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
