Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 337.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,560 –> 00:00:07,880
\nOur speaker for this second
\nsession, his brother Elaine <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,880 –> 00:00:09,960
\nRitmeyer from.
\nCardiff, Wales. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,640 –> 00:00:14,160
\nHis theme this week is The Power
\nof the Bible places and there <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:14,160 –> 00:00:17,800
\nare lessons for us.
\nThis is his fourth class and the<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:17,800 –> 00:00:20,600
\nsubject of this class is.
\nHe must need. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,760 –> 00:00:31,760
\nGo through Samaria.
\nDear brother and sisters and <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,760 –> 00:00:36,000
\nyoung people, yesterday we
\nfollowed Jesus Christ in his <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:38,880
\njourneys.
\nWe’ve been with him to Cana in <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:38,880 –> 00:00:43,960
\nGalilee, and also we saw why he
\nsettled in Capernaum and went to<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:43,960 –> 00:00:47,680
\nCaesarea, Philippines.
\nIf you go to chapter 2 of John, <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:49,560 –> 00:00:53,240
\nthen in the beginning of this
\nchapter we’ve already covered <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:53,240 –> 00:00:56,360
\nthis when there was a marriage
\nin Cana of Galilee and Jesus <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:56,360 –> 00:01:00,200
\nchanged the water into wine.
\nAnd then in verse 13 we read <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:04,239
\nthat the Jews Passover was at
\nhand and Jesus went up to <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:04,239 –> 00:01:09,120
\nJerusalem and he drove out all
\nthose that was changing money <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,120 –> 00:01:11,920
\nand and selling those animals
\nfor huge profits. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:12,320 –> 00:01:15,040
\nAnd it says in verse 17 that’s
\nthe reason why he did it. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:17,760
\nThe zeal of thine house has
\neaten me up. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:21,160
\nThat was the character of the
\nLord Jesus Christ taken from <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:21,160 –> 00:01:24,600
\nPsalm 69 and he stays on in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:24,600 –> 00:01:28,080
\nAnd in chapter 3 we have a
\ndiscussion with Nicodemus. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:29,440 –> 00:01:33,120
\nAnd then in verse 22 we read
\nafter these things came Jesus <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:37,200
\nand the disciples into the land
\nof Judea, and there he tarried <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:37,200 –> 00:01:40,800
\nwisdom and baptized.
\nNow that was in the land of <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:40,800 –> 00:01:43,240
\nJudea.
\nAnd if you follow the borders <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:43,280 –> 00:01:45,840
\nbetween Benjamin and Judah, the
\nonly place where that could have<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:45,840 –> 00:01:49,360
\nbeen is Beastebarra, just a
\nlittle bit north of the Dead <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:49,360 –> 00:01:51,480
\nSea.
\nSo Jesus baptised in there, but <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:51,480 –> 00:01:53,280
\nnot Jesus himself with his
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:53,520 –> 00:01:57,960
\nWell, John in verse 23 was
\nhigher up in the valley near the<\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:57,960 –> 00:02:03,080
\nSea of Galilee baptising.
\nAnd then we come to chapter 4 <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:03,880 –> 00:02:08,160
\nwhen he left Judea.
\nSo on the map you can see that <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:08,759 –> 00:02:14,480
\nJesus came down from Capernaum.
\nHe went to Jerusalem, He expels <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:14,480 –> 00:02:17,160
\nthe money changed from the
\ntemple, then he goes to <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:17,160 –> 00:02:21,560
\nBethabahr and his disciples were
\nbaptizing then, and then he went<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:21,560 –> 00:02:25,680
\nback again to Galilee.
\nWhy did he not go back the same <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:25,680 –> 00:02:28,880
\nway to through the Jordan Valley
\nto Capernaum? <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,680 –> 00:02:31,120
\nWas he getting bored with the
\njury? <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:31,120 –> 00:02:34,080
\nI’ve been there so many times.
\nLet’s take a detour and see some<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:34,080 –> 00:02:37,640
\npretty mountains.
\nNo brothers, sisters. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:37,680 –> 00:02:45,160
\nIt says in verse four he must
\nneeds go through Sumerian. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:45,160 –> 00:02:51,320
\nAnd I’m pleased to recognise the
\nthe help I’ve had from brother <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:51,320 –> 00:02:55,840
\nRonkowi in Australia who is a
\nfantastic talk on this, on this <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:55,840 –> 00:02:59,360
\nsubject.
\nSo we hope to come back later <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:59,360 –> 00:03:03,160
\ntomorrow to Bethabara and see
\nthe power of this place. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:07,560
\nWhy did he have to go through
\nSumerian? <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:07,840 –> 00:03:12,120
\nThe word must shows there was no
\ncompromise. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:12,480 –> 00:03:15,960
\nHe had to go there.
\nIf you look at other instances <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:15,960 –> 00:03:20,280
\nin the Gospel of John and
\nelsewhere, then you see Jesus <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:20,280 –> 00:03:23,760
\nhad said in the previous chapter
\nto Nicodemus, you must be born <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:23,760 –> 00:03:26,480
\nagain.
\nThere’s no other way. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:27,920 –> 00:03:30,960
\nAs Moses lifted the serpent in
\nthe village, so must the Son of <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:30,960 –> 00:03:34,680
\nMan be lifted up.
\nThe only way to overcome sin. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:35,360 –> 00:03:38,760
\nJohn the battler said he must
\nincrease, but I decrease. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:39,440 –> 00:03:43,040
\nAnd just now we read that he
\nmust needs go through Sumeria. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:43,400 –> 00:03:46,960
\nHe said to the woman, They that
\nworship God must worship Him in <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:46,960 –> 00:03:51,120
\nspirit and in truth.
\nIn John 9 I must work the works <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:51,320 –> 00:03:53,720
\nof him that sent me.
\nThere was no option. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:54,680 –> 00:03:57,400
\nAnd the other sheep I have which
\nare not of this fault, and also <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:00,240
\nI must bring.
\nAnd this little man must be <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:00,240 –> 00:04:03,680
\nlifted up, but also he must
\nraise again from the dead. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:04,120 –> 00:04:07,480
\nThese were axioms.
\nThe truth is not negotiable. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:07,560 –> 00:04:11,080
\nBrethren, sisters, we cannot
\ncompromise on the truth. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:14,000
\nIf you do, we only water down
\nthe truth. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:14,440 –> 00:04:16,720
\nThere are certain things we have
\nto do. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:17,640 –> 00:04:21,560
\nThat’s how God has ordained it.
\nAnd I imagine that Jesus all the<\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:21,560 –> 00:04:25,040
\ntime he was in Nazareth from
\npast the age of 12 and for the <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:25,040 –> 00:04:30,200
\nfirst time he went to Jerusalem,
\nto a temple that he went through<\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:30,200 –> 00:04:34,560
\nthe Scriptures fine combing it.
\nI must do this, I must do that. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:34,760 –> 00:04:36,760
\nThis must happen and that must
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:36,760 –> 00:04:40,480
\nHe was ticking them off 1 after
\ndoing it, and we should read the<\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:40,480 –> 00:04:42,800
\nScripture as well.
\nBran and sisters read through <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:42,800 –> 00:04:46,160
\nthe Bible.
\nWhat does God require of us to <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:46,160 –> 00:04:48,600
\ndo?
\nNo point saying, oh, God wants <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:52,640
\nme to do this and I do something
\nelse can say to the priest, <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:52,920 –> 00:04:55,360
\nwell, you got to offer a lamb.
\nOh well, can I get my cat, <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:55,360 –> 00:04:58,520
\nplease?
\nNo, you cannot change what God <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:58,520 –> 00:05:04,160
\nhas ordained.
\nSo then why does Jesus say that <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:04,160 –> 00:05:11,480
\nhe had to go through Sumerian?
\nSo he knew beforehand that he <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:17,000
\nhad to fulfil God’s word and he
\nhad to go to a particular place,<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:21,040
\nnot just anywhere in Sumeria.
\nYou look at verse 5 and verse 6 <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:21,040 –> 00:05:26,200
\nof John chapter 4, then come and
\nsee to a city of Sumeria, which <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:26,200 –> 00:05:30,240
\nis called Saikai, near to the
\nparcel of ground that Jacob gave<\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:30,240 –> 00:05:35,040
\nto his son Joseph.
\nAnd Jacob’s well was there, and <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:35,040 –> 00:05:36,960
\nshe is there for being weird
\nwith his journey. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:40,000
\nSet us on the well.
\nThey say on the wall that is <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:43,600
\nusually built around the well.
\nIt was about the 6th hour, it <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:48,640
\nwas midday, it was very hot and
\nit wasn’t difficult to find <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:49,120 –> 00:05:54,400
\nbecause you often find that next
\nto a well is a massive oak tree.<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:54,880 –> 00:05:58,080
\nIt’s a natural gathering place
\nfor travellers, for for <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:58,080 –> 00:06:00,520
\nshepherds who came to water
\ntheir flock. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:02,200 –> 00:06:07,920
\nAnd that place is an extremely
\nimportant place, brethren, <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:13,880
\nsisters, because so many things
\nhappened at a well. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:15,520 –> 00:06:19,760
\nIf you go through scriptures and
\nlook what happened at wells. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:21,160 –> 00:06:23,880
\nSo you an Angel met Hagar at a
\nwell. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:28,520
\nThe places of living waters.
\nAbe made a covenant with a bill <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:28,520 –> 00:06:32,520
\nmake at the well of Beersheba.
\nBare actually means a well. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:33,960 –> 00:06:38,080
\nAbe’s servant met Rebecca,
\nIsaac’s wife at the well and <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:38,080 –> 00:06:41,080
\nJacob also.
\nRachel drew water from the well.<\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:41,360 –> 00:06:44,080
\nMoses met his wife Sepora at a
\nwell. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:44,640 –> 00:06:47,600
\nGod made a dry well to flow with
\nliving waters. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:50,440
\nA good place to find your wife.
\nYoung people there. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:50,440 –> 00:06:53,760
\nIf you wonder why go to the
\nwell? <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:54,200 –> 00:06:57,760
\nWhy?
\nBecause Deborah said go to the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:57,760 –> 00:07:01,440
\nplaces of drawing of water,
\nbecause there they shall <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:01,440 –> 00:07:04,960
\nrehearse the righteous acts of
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:07,880
\nThat’s where people came
\ntogether to talk about the <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:07,880 –> 00:07:10,920
\ntruth.
\nIf you look for a wife, go to <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:14,200
\nsomebody, to a young girl that
\nloves the truth, that loves <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:16,880
\nspeaking about it, because then
\nyou’ve got something to share <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:16,880 –> 00:07:19,560
\nwith.
\nIt’s the place where you draw <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:19,840 –> 00:07:22,200
\nthe living waters of the Word of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:22,200 –> 00:07:24,440
\nThat’s what Jesus was explaining
\nto this woman. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:24,440 –> 00:07:28,320
\nYou give her living waters.
\nAnd he spoke of the Spirit that <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:28,440 –> 00:07:30,360
\nGod will give to those that
\nbelieve in him. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:36,280
\nAnd now Jesus was going to show
\nto this woman of Samaria the <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:36,280 –> 00:07:44,000
\nrighteous acts of Yahweh.
\nHe went there to fulfil a very <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:44,160 –> 00:07:48,520
\nancient promise.
\nAnd the full meaning of this <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:48,520 –> 00:07:53,720
\nevent can only be grasped if you
\nfirst search out the historical <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:53,960 –> 00:07:57,480
\nand the geographical background
\nof this location. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:58,520 –> 00:08:00,840
\nNow the question is why the
\nJesus have to go? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:06,200
\nHe had to go to Somalia.
\nHe had to go specifically to <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,920
\nJacob’s well, neither the pass
\nof ground that Jacob had given <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:09,920 –> 00:08:12,440
\nto Joseph.
\nAnd we know that Joseph is a <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:12,440 –> 00:08:19,080
\ntype of Jesus, so he was the
\nreal Joseph sitting at the well <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:19,360 –> 00:08:22,080
\nwhich his father Jacob had given
\nto him. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:23,000 –> 00:08:27,960
\nNow usually the Jews avoid going
\nthrough Sumerian because of the <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:27,960 –> 00:08:31,560
\nanimosity between the two
\npeoples who were the Samaritans.<\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:31,840 –> 00:08:35,280
\nAnd by the way, they’re still
\nSamaritans today, very friendly <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:35,280 –> 00:08:37,919
\npeople.
\nThey still sacrifice Passover <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:38,120 –> 00:08:42,000
\nevery year.
\nGo to 2nd Kings chapter 17. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:55,250 –> 00:08:58,170
\nAfter the king of Assyria had
\ncarried away capital’s 10 <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:58,170 –> 00:09:05,440
\nnorthern tribes of Israel, they
\nhe brought in other people, he <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:05,440 –> 00:09:08,320
\nbrought in people from from
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:09,760 –> 00:09:14,680
\nIt says there in verse 30, the
\nmen of Babylon, they made Sokhov<\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:14,680 –> 00:09:18,720
\nBednat and the men of Kuthmed
\nNiagar, the men of Hamat made <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:18,800 –> 00:09:21,360
\nHashimah.
\nThey had made came back to <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:21,360 –> 00:09:25,800
\nIsrael to settle there.
\nAnd because you can see that in <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:29,880
\nthe early part of the chapter,
\nand then God sent lions among <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:29,880 –> 00:09:33,120
\nthem, because they were
\nworshipping false God in his <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:33,120 –> 00:09:36,440
\nland.
\nSo they brought over a priest in<\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:36,440 –> 00:09:38,880
\nverse 27, the king of serial
\ncommanders. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:38,880 –> 00:09:41,520
\nThey carried in one of the
\npriests whom he brought from <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:41,520 –> 00:09:43,080
\nthem.
\nThey let them go and dwell there<\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:43,080 –> 00:09:45,520
\nand teach them the manner of the
\nGod of the land. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:46,080 –> 00:09:49,480
\nAnd so one of the priests, the
\nLevite probably has, which had <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:49,480 –> 00:09:52,480
\ncarried away from smerry, came
\nand taught in Bethel in the <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:52,480 –> 00:09:56,720
\nHouse of God, and taught them
\nhow they should fear Yahweh. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:59,280 –> 00:10:05,960
\nSo you’ve got the people in
\nverse 33 that feared Yahweh, but<\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:05,960 –> 00:10:09,880
\nalso served their own gods after
\nthe manner of the nations whom <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:09,880 –> 00:10:12,480
\nthey carried away from them unto
\nthis day. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:12,720 –> 00:10:17,440
\nThey do after the former manners
\nas you’ll draw a big stop after <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:22,840
\nthis first part of verse 34.
\nSo those Samaritans, they feared<\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:22,840 –> 00:10:27,720
\nYahweh, but understanding was
\nmixed up with idol worship, <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:28,760 –> 00:10:31,920
\nunless the Jews, because the
\nfirst continue speaking about <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:31,920 –> 00:10:35,080
\nthe Jews, they, the Jews fear
\nnot Yarwah. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:38,280
\nNow they do they after their
\nstatutes or after their <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:38,280 –> 00:10:41,080
\nordinances or after the law.
\nAnd commander with Yarwah <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:44,080
\ncommanded the children of Jacob,
\nwhom he named Israel. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:44,640 –> 00:10:49,280
\nSo he got 2 nieces in the land
\nSabatas who feared Yarwah, but <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:49,280 –> 00:10:52,640
\nthey also served idols and the
\nJews would didn’t fear Yarwah at<\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:52,680 –> 00:10:56,120
\nall.
\nAnd so Jesus went to the <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:56,120 –> 00:11:01,280
\ndescendants of these people who
\nwere taught by Levite and he <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:01,280 –> 00:11:05,800
\ncame then to Sumerian.
\nSo there are different religious<\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:09,440
\nbackgrounds, the Jews and the
\nSamaritans, they were both <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:09,440 –> 00:11:11,280
\nsupposed to believe in the same
\nGod. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:12,800 –> 00:11:16,680
\nAnd of course, if you’re a
\nSamaritan, then, well, who is <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:16,680 –> 00:11:18,560
\nright?
\nAre we Samaritans all right or <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:18,560 –> 00:11:20,360
\nare the Jews all right?
\nThat’s the question. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:22,960
\nWe there was, we was a God in
\nMount Grise. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:22,960 –> 00:11:25,520
\nI mean, you do it in Jerusalem.
\nWho is right? <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:28,520 –> 00:11:31,360
\nBut where did this meeting place
\nactually happen? <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:32,720 –> 00:11:37,160
\nIt was in Shechem.
\nAnd here we can see excavation <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:37,160 –> 00:11:41,720
\nremains of the city of Shechem.
\nThere’s a city wall there, but <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:41,720 –> 00:11:43,480
\nyou can see a very happy city
\nwall. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:46,080
\nThere’s actually a gate building
\nhere. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:46,400 –> 00:11:48,080
\nThe city wall goes all the way
\naround. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:48,360 –> 00:11:51,440
\nThere’s a temple here with a
\ncourtyard in a standing stone <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:51,760 –> 00:11:54,080
\nand some of the houses that have
\nbeen excavated. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:55,080 –> 00:11:58,160
\nIt’s about 50 kilometres north
\nof Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:58,160 –> 00:12:02,320
\nAnd Shechem is located right
\nhere between Mount Garaizum and <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:02,320 –> 00:12:05,240
\nMount Ebal.
\nSo you get the central mountain <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:05,240 –> 00:12:08,240
\nrange going through Israel.
\nThere’s a big gap there right in<\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:08,240 –> 00:12:15,240
\nthe middle, and that is where
\nthe pass through Mount Garaizum <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:15,360 –> 00:12:19,120
\nand Mount Ebal is located.
\nAnd right in the middle is <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:19,120 –> 00:12:23,320
\nShechem.
\nThe name Shechem means a shoving<\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:25,040 –> 00:12:26,360
\nshechem.
\nYou’ve got two of them. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:26,520 –> 00:12:30,840
\nA shechem is a shoulder, and you
\ncan see shechem is located in <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:30,840 –> 00:12:35,000
\nbetween two shoulders, as it
\nwere, of the two mountains. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:36,640 –> 00:12:40,040
\nWhat you do is our shoulders.
\nWe carry burdens. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:46,480
\nBut also in Hebrew, Shechem
\nmeans to rise up early in the <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:46,480 –> 00:12:50,280
\nmorning, I suppose, because you
\nroll over on your shoulder and <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:52,320
\nthen you get up early in the
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:52,320 –> 00:12:55,000
\nSo it means both getting up
\nearly in the morning and be <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:59,600
\nready to carry your burdens.
\nAnd we should do that billingly <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:00,000 –> 00:13:04,160
\nand not dreadingly.
\nWhen the Tabernacle moved, the <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:04,160 –> 00:13:06,880
\nKohathites were given
\nresponsibility of carrying all <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:06,880 –> 00:13:08,400
\nthe holy things.
\nHow? <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:08,920 –> 00:13:13,280
\nOn their shoulders.
\nAnd then David didn’t remember <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:13,280 –> 00:13:15,280
\nthat law.
\nHe put the ark on the cart. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:15,680 –> 00:13:19,440
\nDisaster struck Israel.
\nWe cannot do things our own way.<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:19,440 –> 00:13:21,440
\nBy the sisters.
\nYou have to go home, do his <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:21,440 –> 00:13:24,160
\nBible reading.
\nOh, it’s my fault. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:24,160 –> 00:13:27,280
\nThey should be carrying them on
\nthe shoulders like the <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:27,280 –> 00:13:30,880
\nscapegoat.
\nJesus bore our sins on his <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:30,880 –> 00:13:35,000
\nshoulders and carried them away
\ninto a land that is cut off. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:39,760
\nAnd after he had done that, God
\nreplaced that burden is <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:39,760 –> 00:13:44,600
\nsomething else, because He put
\nthe government upon his <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:44,600 –> 00:13:47,480
\nshoulder.
\nSo if he first bear the burdens <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:47,480 –> 00:13:52,720
\non our shoulders, then we can
\nhelp Christ in his Kingdom as <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:52,720 –> 00:13:56,240
\npriests and kings to share that
\ngovernment which is on upon the <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:56,240 –> 00:14:00,520
\nshoulders of Jesus Christ.
\nSo got one, just like Abram and <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:00,520 –> 00:14:04,480
\nlike David and Joshua and Jesus
\nto rise up early in the morning <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:04,760 –> 00:14:08,720
\nand bear the burdens of the day,
\nboth of our normal life and of <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:08,720 –> 00:14:12,400
\necclesial life.
\nSo the place Shechem means a <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:15,840
\nplace of responsibility and
\nchoice. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:19,840
\nIt’s a place where you make
\ndecisions and you bear <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:19,840 –> 00:14:22,480
\nresponsibility.
\nThat is the power of this <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:22,480 –> 00:14:25,640
\nparticular Bible place.
\nAnd we will see that some very <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:25,640 –> 00:14:30,400
\ngood but also some very bad
\ndecisions have been made in <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:30,600 –> 00:14:33,520
\nShechem.
\nLet’s go to Genesis chapter 12. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:36,680 –> 00:14:39,640
\nIt’s the first place we read
\nabout this city. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:49,960 –> 00:14:51,720
\nAnd we’re reading verse 6:00 and
\n7:00. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:53,760 –> 00:14:58,320
\nAbram came from Haram, and we
\npassed through the land. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:58,320 –> 00:15:01,800
\nThat’s the word Hebrew.
\nHe passed through the land unto <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:01,800 –> 00:15:06,280
\nthe place of Shechem, unto the
\nplain of Mori. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:06,920 –> 00:15:10,200
\nAnd the Canaanite was then in
\nthe land, And Yahweh appeared <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:14,000
\nunto Abram, said Unto thy seed,
\nwill I give this land? <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:17,880
\nAnd there he built an altar unto
\nYahoo, appeared unto him. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:21,520 –> 00:15:24,800
\nThe word plain is not always
\nplain. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:25,680 –> 00:15:28,440
\nWe’ve seen with the plain of the
\nJordan is the Kikai. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:31,320
\nIt means a circle.
\nThe word plain does not mean a <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:31,320 –> 00:15:35,440
\nplain at all here.
\nThe plain of morae in Hebrew is <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:35,800 –> 00:15:40,680
\nalon more and along means an oak
\ntree. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:41,280 –> 00:15:44,000
\nIt doesn’t mean a plain at all.
\nI don’t know where those <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:44,040 –> 00:15:47,080
\ntranslators got it from.
\nAnd what’s the meaning of <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:47,080 –> 00:15:50,280
\nMoraine?
\nAs you perhaps know, I’ve been <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:50,320 –> 00:15:54,000
\nteaching in Hebrew for 5 1\/2
\nyears in a heritage College in <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:54,000 –> 00:15:57,800
\nAdelaide and I was a teacher.
\nIn Hebrew. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:57,800 –> 00:16:03,840
\nThe word for teacher is Moraine.
\nSo the plain of Moray is <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:03,840 –> 00:16:08,760
\nactually oak of Moore.
\nIt’s the oak of the teacher. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:09,840 –> 00:16:14,000
\nThat’s the real name, the real
\nmeaning of the Hebrew Alon <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:16,920
\nMoore, nothing to do with a
\nplain at all. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:21,320
\nMany times when the word alon is
\nin the Hebrew, they translate <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:24,520
\nthis plain, but it’s an oak.
\nPlainly it is an oak. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:31,960
\nSo only that oak of the teacher.
\nThat’s where Abram went first. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:33,160 –> 00:16:38,280
\nThat’s where he built an altar
\nunder that oak, and that’s where<\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:38,320 –> 00:16:43,360
\nGod gave him the promise, under
\nthe oak of the Teacher. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:45,840 –> 00:16:48,960
\nSo that is a very special place
\nwhere the sisters. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:49,720 –> 00:16:54,080
\nSo if you look at an oak tree
\nhere, as we see the map where <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:54,080 –> 00:16:58,760
\nAbel came down from her over
\nDamascus by the Sea of Galilee, <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:03,760
\nand he went to the oak of the
\nTeacher, that’s what he did. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:07,400
\nNow oaks, as you can see here,
\nare massive trees. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:11,640
\nThere are not many left in
\nIsrael. 200 years ago, the land <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:11,640 –> 00:17:14,280
\nwas especially Galilee, full of
\noak trees. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:15,119 –> 00:17:17,400
\nThey’ve all been cut down.
\nBy whom? <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:20,920
\nBy the Turks, who built a
\nrailway line from Damascus to <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:20,920 –> 00:17:23,599
\nCairo.
\nAnd to make sleepers for those <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:23,920 –> 00:17:27,560
\nred iron whales, they cut down
\nall the oak trees, only the few <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:27,839 –> 00:17:30,600
\nthat had a tomb of a rabbi or a
\nSt. underneath, because that’s <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:30,600 –> 00:17:32,760
\nwhat they do.
\nOften there’s, you know, <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:33,040 –> 00:17:37,400
\nsanctuaries, a few left and
\nalways beside him you find a <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:43,160
\nwell now we know that Abraham
\nwas a teacher. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:44,440 –> 00:17:50,760
\nGo to Genesis chapter 18 and
\nverse 19. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:56,590 –> 00:18:00,240
\nGod says about Abraham.
\nHe was 18 See that Abram shall <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:00,240 –> 00:18:03,240
\nbe surely become a great and
\nmighty nation, and all the <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:03,240 –> 00:18:05,200
\nnations of the earth shall be
\nblessed in him. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:05,600 –> 00:18:11,160
\nFor I know him.
\nGod knew what kind of person he <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:11,160 –> 00:18:15,400
\nwas.
\nI know Him that He will command <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:15,560 –> 00:18:20,720
\nhis children and his household
\nafter him, and they shall keep <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:20,720 –> 00:18:25,120
\nthe way of Yahweh to do justice
\nand judgement that Yahweh may <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:25,120 –> 00:18:28,640
\nbring upon Abraham that which he
\nhad spoken of him. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:29,360 –> 00:18:31,920
\nAbe, God knew Abram to be a
\nteacher. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:32,320 –> 00:18:36,160
\nHe was the father in his family,
\nbut he was a teacher. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:38,200 –> 00:18:40,560
\nThere’s some families in
\nEngland, they say, OK, so you <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:43,080
\nmust go to Sunday school.
\nBut when you’re 18, you can do <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:43,080 –> 00:18:46,680
\nwhat you like.
\nUnlike Abraham, He commanded <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:46,680 –> 00:18:49,200
\ntheir children.
\nNot for me, I’ll force you to. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:54,040
\nBut he made it so lively, so
\ninteresting, and that they <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:54,040 –> 00:18:58,160
\nwanted to follow Abraham.
\nIt’s a tax for all of us. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:58,160 –> 00:18:59,760
\nDoesn’t Moses say the same
\nthing? <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:59,960 –> 00:19:02,600
\nYou shall teach them those
\nstatues and the laws and the <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:02,600 –> 00:19:05,440
\ncommandments of God diligently
\nunto your children. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:05,680 –> 00:19:08,600
\nYou shall talk of them when you
\nsit in your house, when you walk<\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:08,600 –> 00:19:11,440
\nby the way, when you lie down,
\nand when you rise up. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:12,240 –> 00:19:17,280
\nSo Jesus went to the oak of the
\nteacher, because Israel has <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:17,280 –> 00:19:21,120
\nnever seen any greater teacher
\nthan the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:22,600 –> 00:19:29,200
\nSo they’re massive oak trees.
\nAnd if you go go to the Hebrew <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:29,200 –> 00:19:33,080
\nword alone, you find that some
\nfantastically interesting things<\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:33,080 –> 00:19:36,560
\ntook place in the oak trees.
\nLook at Abraham Pass, we just <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:36,560 –> 00:19:38,480
\nread this.
\nHe went to the oak of the <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:38,480 –> 00:19:41,560
\nteaching.
\nLater on, you’ll see that Jacob <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:41,560 –> 00:19:45,200
\nhit all the strange gods, only
\nthe oak, which is by Shechem, <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:45,600 –> 00:19:49,120
\nthe same oak tree.
\nAnd Deborah, Rebecca’s nurse, <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:49,120 –> 00:19:53,400
\nwas buried under an oak tree.
\nThere are notable features of <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:56,240
\nthe landscape.
\nAnd Joshua wrote all the words <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:56,680 –> 00:19:59,800
\nin the book of the law of God.
\nHe took a great stone, and said <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:59,800 –> 00:20:07,360
\nthat where under the oak, Which
\noak in Shechem same oak when the<\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:07,360 –> 00:20:11,960
\nAngel appeared, until Gideon in
\noffer, it was under an oak tree <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:11,960 –> 00:20:18,960
\nwhere he met him, a force tree.
\nAbsalom he got hung in an oak <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:19,760 –> 00:20:23,160
\nand said like a place of
\njudgement, and that men of God. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:23,480 –> 00:20:26,600
\nYou also found a city under an
\noak tree, so oak trees are <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:31,560
\nnotable places in Scripture.
\nYou just go back to Genesis <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:31,560 –> 00:20:37,760
\nchapter 12 and we read there
\nthat Aman passed through the <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:37,760 –> 00:20:41,400
\nland and to the place of
\nShechem. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:41,800 –> 00:20:43,400
\nThere was just a small
\nsettlement. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:43,760 –> 00:20:46,960
\nThere was not yet a whole city.
\nThat came later on. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:48,280 –> 00:20:52,120
\nIf you go Fast forward to the
\nlife of Jacob, he spent some <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:52,120 –> 00:20:56,520
\ntime in Hagam as well, and then
\nhis family returned to the land <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:56,520 –> 00:21:02,400
\nand they came to Shechem and
\nthey planned to go to the House <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:02,520 –> 00:21:06,480
\nof God to Bethel.
\nLet’s go to chapter 33. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:13,550 –> 00:21:17,590
\nSo Jacob was coming back now.
\nFirst of all, he had to meet <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:17,830 –> 00:21:25,800
\nEsau.
\nAnd after that meeting with <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:25,800 –> 00:21:32,240
\nEsau, it was 18 we read that
\nJacob came not to Shalom, that <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:32,240 –> 00:21:37,160
\nthere’s no Shalom there at all.
\nHe came in peace to a city of <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:37,160 –> 00:21:41,160
\nShechem, which in the land of
\nCanaan Shalom is the word <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:41,160 –> 00:21:43,680
\nShalom.
\nHe just came in peace after <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:43,680 –> 00:21:48,200
\nhaving met Esau and giving him
\nthe ties which he had promised <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:48,280 –> 00:21:53,520
\nto God, he gave it to Esau.
\nThen in peace he came to <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:53,520 –> 00:21:58,680
\nShechem, the same place, if it
\nwas 19, he bought a parcel of a <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:58,680 –> 00:22:02,560
\nfield where he had spread his
\ntent at the hand of the children<\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:02,560 –> 00:22:05,440
\nof Hamor, Shechem’s father, for
\n100 pieces of silver. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:05,760 –> 00:22:10,480
\nAnd he built an altar there and
\ncalled it El Elohe Israel. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:11,240 –> 00:22:15,720
\nThat means the power of the
\nmighty ones of Israel. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:21,680
\nThat’s the power of an altar by
\nthe sisters where we destroy the<\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:21,680 –> 00:22:24,960
\nflesh.
\nThat is the power, the <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:24,960 –> 00:22:29,800
\ndestruction of the flesh of all
\nthe mighty ones of Israel, so <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:33,200
\nthat the Spirit can live.
\nThe Spirit cannot live in a body<\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:35,160
\nof flesh.
\nIt needs to be destroyed. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:36,680 –> 00:22:40,480
\nBut now we read that Jacob came
\nto that place. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:40,480 –> 00:22:43,840
\nHe had to buy it again.
\nAnd I believe it was the same <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:44,120 –> 00:22:46,760
\nplot of land that Abram had
\nearlier bought. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:47,440 –> 00:22:49,800
\nSo we’ve been given an
\ninheritance, pregnant sisters, <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:53,480
\nbut if you don’t look after it
\nor if you aren’t there all the <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:57,000
\ntime, you may lose it.
\nAnd Jacob had to buy it again <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:58,080 –> 00:23:02,440
\nlater on.
\nJacob says that he had to fight <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:02,440 –> 00:23:05,480
\nfor it and he got to back with
\nhis bow and arrow and was <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:05,480 –> 00:23:08,840
\nactually a Steeler found.
\nHe would see Jacob going to <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:08,840 –> 00:23:11,000
\nShechem.
\nBefore he went to Bethel, he did<\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:11,000 –> 00:23:14,320
\na few other things.
\nA Steeler has been found in in <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:14,360 –> 00:23:21,120
\nEgypt, which refers to Shechem.
\nAn Egyptian army came and <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:21,160 –> 00:23:25,120
\nconquered Shechem, and some
\npeople suggested that when there<\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:25,120 –> 00:23:28,360
\nwas an Egyptian invasion in the
\nland, as later on happened when <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:28,360 –> 00:23:32,320
\nJacob was buried, that some of
\nthat of the children of Israel <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:32,320 –> 00:23:35,840
\nwent and recaptured that land
\nthat belonged to their father <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:35,840 –> 00:23:38,000
\nAbraham.
\nAnd you’ll see that that later <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:41,960
\non happened.
\nNotice that it’s a place of <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:41,960 –> 00:23:45,440
\ndecision.
\nAnd here we see Dinah where the <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:45,440 –> 00:23:52,440
\nfirst wrong decision was taken
\nby Dinah in chapter 434 verse <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:52,440 –> 00:23:57,000
\none we read she went out to see
\nthe daughters of the land. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:57,880 –> 00:24:03,480
\nBig mistake.
\nWe should only be interested in <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:03,480 –> 00:24:06,640
\nChristadelphians and people that
\nwe can share our faith with. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:07,520 –> 00:24:10,040
\nThe young man looking for the
\nwife go to the bell where those <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:10,040 –> 00:24:12,800
\ngirls are which speak about the
\nword of God. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:14,080 –> 00:24:17,440
\nWe should be friendly only with
\nlike minded people. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:19,040 –> 00:24:23,720
\nThe second wrong decision taken
\nin Shechem was by the son of <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:23,720 –> 00:24:28,800
\nHamar in raping Dinah and it led
\nto another wrong decision by <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:28,800 –> 00:24:33,160
\nSimeon and Levi who broke God’s
\ncovenant and killed all the men <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:33,560 –> 00:24:38,600
\nof Shechem and all happened
\nbecause Dinah went out to see <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:43,200
\nthe people of the world.
\nStay away from the world, burden<\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:43,200 –> 00:24:46,680
\nsisters and young people.
\nIt only leads to disaster, <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:52,160
\nespecially girls when they don’t
\nprotest as we don’t read that <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:52,160 –> 00:24:57,920
\nDinah protested at all.
\nSo it was such a difference with<\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:57,920 –> 00:25:01,280
\nJoseph.
\nWhen he was tempted, he fled <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:01,280 –> 00:25:03,680
\naway, never mind the
\nconsequence. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:05,360 –> 00:25:09,520
\nAnd so Jacob now had trouble in
\nhis family and he had to realise<\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:15,200
\nhe had to do something.
\nGod said in chapter 35 to Jacob,<\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:22,360
\nfirst one arise and go up to
\nBethel, bait Al the House of <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:22,360 –> 00:25:27,960
\nGod, not just of God as Yahweh,
\nnot just as God as Ali, but God <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:27,960 –> 00:25:31,400
\nas Al.
\nAnd Al means power. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:31,760 –> 00:25:34,040
\nHe’s going to the powerhouse of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:34,840 –> 00:25:38,600
\nAnd we also are on our way to
\nthe House of God pregnant <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:38,600 –> 00:25:41,960
\nsisters.
\nSo what did he do? <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:47,720
\nHe made an altar unto Al that
\nGod said, Go to Bethel and build<\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:47,720 –> 00:25:52,280
\nan altar there, and to ale that
\nappeared unto thee when thou <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:52,280 –> 00:25:54,400
\nflathers from the face of Esodai
\nBrethen. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:56,480 –> 00:26:01,160
\nNow Jacob was thinking, Well, I
\nneed to put my house in order. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:01,160 –> 00:26:05,440
\nAnd what did he do?
\nHe he said to all this <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:05,440 –> 00:26:09,640
\nhouseholds Come here, everybody
\nand to everybody that was with <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:09,640 –> 00:26:11,440
\nhim.
\nThere was a large encampment <\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:11,600 –> 00:26:15,280
\nlike Abe met 318 young men
\neducated in his home. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:15,880 –> 00:26:20,200
\nWhat did he say?
\nPut away the strange gods that <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:20,200 –> 00:26:24,000
\nare among you and be clean and
\nchange your garments. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:24,680 –> 00:26:26,320
\nWe need to do that on a daily
\nbasis. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:26,320 –> 00:26:31,160
\nYoung people and older people.
\nWe need to put away whatever <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:31,160 –> 00:26:34,040
\ninterferes with our life in the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:35,080 –> 00:26:38,360
\nGet rid of the old clothes, put
\non clean clothes, wash <\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:38,360 –> 00:26:42,160
\nyourselves, because only then
\ncan you arise and go up to <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:42,160 –> 00:26:46,640
\nBethel, and I’ll make there an
\naltar unto AO, who answered me <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:46,640 –> 00:26:49,600
\nin the day of my distress, and
\nwas with me in the way which I <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:49,640 –> 00:26:52,720
\nwent.
\nWhat did they do with all those <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:52,720 –> 00:26:55,800
\nidols?
\nLook at first form. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:56,200 –> 00:27:00,200
\nThey gave unto Jacob all the
\nstrange gods that were in the <\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:00,200 –> 00:27:03,160
\nhand there.
\nMany of them Remember Rachel. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:03,960 –> 00:27:06,320
\nShe had hidden the terraphy of
\nher father’s house in a <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:06,800 –> 00:27:10,320
\ncamelback, and all the earrings
\nwas hid in their ears. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:10,760 –> 00:27:15,640
\nAnd Jacob hidden under the oak,
\nwhich is by Shechem. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:16,680 –> 00:27:18,960
\nHe had learned the lesson of the
\nTeacher. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:19,360 –> 00:27:22,600
\nHe was at the oak of the
\nteacher, and now he was <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:22,600 –> 00:27:24,320
\nteaching.
\nHis family put away all the <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:24,320 –> 00:27:28,000
\nguards and he buried them under
\nthe oak at the place where Eigma<\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:31,000
\nbuilt an altar.
\nSo there you got an oak, a <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:31,000 –> 00:27:36,320
\nNobel, and buried idols in the
\nground right below that oak of <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:36,320 –> 00:27:39,560
\nthe teacher.
\nAnd so by ancestors we should <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:39,600 –> 00:27:44,400
\nalso do the same thing, like
\nthey said in Acts chapter 15 at <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:44,400 –> 00:27:47,480
\nthe Jerusalem conference, that
\nthe Gentiles should abstain from<\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:52,120
\npollutions of idols and from
\nsexual immorality, need to bury <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:52,440 –> 00:27:56,600
\nall the things that pollute our
\nlives and put them away for <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:56,600 –> 00:27:59,280
\ngood.
\nOtherwise we cannot go to the <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:59,280 –> 00:28:05,880
\nHouse of Cards.
\nThe very worst decision ever <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:05,880 –> 00:28:12,440
\ntaken in Shechem was by the
\nbrothers of Joseph, and they <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:12,440 –> 00:28:16,720
\nsold him to the Midianites who
\ntook him to Egypt, and that <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:16,720 –> 00:28:21,480
\ndecision would haunt him,
\nespecially Judah, for 20 long <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:21,520 –> 00:28:37,200
\nyears in chapter 37 of Genesis.
\nIn verse 12 we read that his <\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:37,200 –> 00:28:39,840
\nbrethren, that is Joseph’s
\nbrethren, went to feed their <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:39,840 –> 00:28:42,640
\nfather’s flock in Shechem.
\nWhy is Shechem? <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:43,560 –> 00:28:46,040
\nThose were the fields that
\nbelonged to the family. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:46,520 –> 00:28:50,720
\nAbram had bought it.
\nJacob had to rebuy it again and <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:50,720 –> 00:28:54,520
\nhe said go to our fields.
\nYou need to occupy our fields <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:54,520 –> 00:28:57,400
\nand grace there.
\nBe in that place where the oak <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:57,400 –> 00:29:00,520
\nof the teacher is.
\nRemember the covenant which God <\/p>\n
423
\n00:29:00,520 –> 00:29:05,040
\nmade to Abraham.
\nRemember that I buried the idols<\/p>\n
424
\n00:29:05,040 –> 00:29:07,040
\nthere and keep them buried
\nthere. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:08,320 –> 00:29:11,280
\nAnd Israel said it to Joseph,
\nJust not thy bread. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:11,280 –> 00:29:12,960
\nAnd feed the flock and shake
\nhim. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:13,520 –> 00:29:15,480
\nCome, and I will send the unto
\nthem. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:17,160 –> 00:29:23,000
\nWow, would you go?
\nYou brothers hated you. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:23,560 –> 00:29:26,000
\nThey couldn’t stand listen to
\nthose dreams. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:30,600
\nThey couldn’t stand it then that
\nhe told his father about all the<\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:30,680 –> 00:29:34,320
\nwrongdoings of his brothers,
\nwhat would happen to him? <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:35,560 –> 00:29:39,520
\nWhat a man Joseph was as a young
\nman, 17 years old. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:41,080 –> 00:29:43,880
\nYet come, says his father, I’ll
\nsend you unto them. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:44,680 –> 00:29:50,880
\nHe said, Here am I.
\nHe said, go and pray to see <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:50,880 –> 00:29:52,720
\nwhether it be well with thy
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:52,720 –> 00:29:56,440
\nAnd he would says, Ask for the
\npeace of you brethren. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:56,920 –> 00:30:00,200
\nThat’s what Jacob had wanted.
\nThat was peace in his family, <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:00,640 –> 00:30:04,560
\npeace among his sons.
\nSee this well with the flocks. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:04,560 –> 00:30:07,360
\nHe was a shepherd.
\nHe looked after the flock and <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:07,360 –> 00:30:10,000
\nbring me word again.
\nSo he sent them out of the Vale <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:10,000 –> 00:30:12,360
\nof Hebron, and he came to
\nShechem. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:13,200 –> 00:30:15,120
\nWhat a wonderful man, Joseph
\nRoss. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:16,000 –> 00:30:18,680
\nHe must have had second thoughts
\nabout going alone to his <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:18,680 –> 00:30:20,560
\nbrothers, knowing what kind of
\npeople they were. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:21,320 –> 00:30:25,840
\nIt’s just like through Jesus
\nChrist, God sent him to his <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:25,840 –> 00:30:29,120
\nbrethren.
\nHe knew beforehand what they <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:29,120 –> 00:30:34,040
\nwould do to him, but he went
\nwillingly and obediently. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:34,760 –> 00:30:38,120
\nIt’s a wonderful state of mind
\nto have brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:39,440 –> 00:30:42,600
\nAnd then he came to the oak of
\nthe teacher, to the land of <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:42,600 –> 00:30:47,360
\nJacob, and they weren’t there.
\nThey should have been there in <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:47,360 –> 00:30:51,480
\ntheir own inheritance, where the
\npromises have been given and <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:51,480 –> 00:30:54,200
\nthey’re gone.
\nLook at verse 15. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:55,720 –> 00:30:59,520
\nThe judge was looking all over
\nthe place, and then a certain <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:59,520 –> 00:31:02,720
\nman found him.
\nAnd Ronkowi suggested that was <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:02,720 –> 00:31:05,320
\nan Angel.
\nAnd the audio was wandering in <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:05,320 –> 00:31:07,680
\nthe field.
\nAnd men asked him, saying what <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:07,680 –> 00:31:10,880
\nseekers, though angels always
\nask questions. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:11,640 –> 00:31:15,520
\nAnd there we see the whole
\npurpose of the life of Joseph <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:15,800 –> 00:31:19,800
\nencapsulated in one sentence.
\nI seek my brethren. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:23,160
\nAll his life he’s been seeking
\nhis brethren. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:24,480 –> 00:31:27,000
\nHe said, tell me, I pray thee,
\nwhere they feed their flocks. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:28,640 –> 00:31:32,600
\nAnd the men said they departed
\nfrom hands, they’ve left the oak<\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:36,480
\nof the teacher, they’ve left the
\ninheritance of Abram of Isaac <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:36,480 –> 00:31:39,000
\nand the father Jacob.
\nAnd I heard him. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:39,200 –> 00:31:43,200
\nLet’s go to Dotan.
\nAnd Joseph went after his <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:48,040
\nbrethren found him in Dotan.
\nSome people say Dotan means too <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:48,040 –> 00:31:49,400
\nwell.
\nSo I don’t know where you get it<\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:49,400 –> 00:31:52,240
\nfrom at all.
\nDotan is a name goes from that <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:55,400
\nand that is a religious
\ntradition. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:56,200 –> 00:31:58,280
\nThe religious children is are
\ncalled dat een. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:58,840 –> 00:32:00,960
\nThey followed that.
\nThey followed their own law. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:01,560 –> 00:32:06,560
\nSo they forsook the promises,
\nthe grace and the mercy of God, <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:06,880 –> 00:32:09,480
\nand they went to the law and
\nthat’s where they were. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:09,960 –> 00:32:12,520
\nAnd they took a very wrong
\ndecision. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:13,400 –> 00:32:16,920
\nThey couldn’t care less about
\nthe promises which got made to <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:16,920 –> 00:32:18,720
\nAbraham.
\nThey couldn’t care less about <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:18,720 –> 00:32:23,320
\nall the teaching of Abram and
\ntheir father Jacob when they <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:23,320 –> 00:32:25,720
\nappeared later in front of
\nJoseph in Egypt. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:26,040 –> 00:32:27,480
\nAnd he said, whence are you
\ncoming? <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:27,480 –> 00:32:30,480
\nIn chapter 42, verse seven, he
\nsays from the land of Canaan. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:30,480 –> 00:32:34,680
\nAre we as one cow?
\nHe said they like to be cool <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:34,680 –> 00:32:37,160
\nCanaanites.
\nThey want to be just like the <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:37,160 –> 00:32:41,600
\npeople in the world.
\nAnd Joseph stood before Pharaoh <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:45,280
\nand he said, where are you from?
\nHe said, I have been stolen out <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:45,280 –> 00:32:49,560
\nof the land of the Hebrews.
\nSo brother said we come from <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:49,560 –> 00:32:51,200
\nland of Canaan.
\nJoseph. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:53,240
\nNo, I come from the land, the
\nland of the Hebrews. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:56,640
\nAnd So what do we identify
\nourselves with? <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:56,640 –> 00:32:59,600
\nBrave and sisters.
\nIt’s all that associated with <\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:59,600 –> 00:33:02,480
\nthe world we have through our
\nworkplace, hopefully not through<\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:02,480 –> 00:33:07,920
\nfriendship and other things.
\nOur workmates more important or <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:07,920 –> 00:33:09,680
\nour brave and sisters more
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:10,240 –> 00:33:12,720
\nDo we come from the land of
\nCanaan or do we come from the <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:12,720 –> 00:33:17,200
\nland of the Hebrews?
\nJoseph’s main aim in his life <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:22,680
\nwas to seek his brethren, just
\nas Jesus always did everything <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:23,080 –> 00:33:26,160
\nfor his brethren up to the
\ngiving up of his life, as Joseph<\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:26,160 –> 00:33:29,680
\nalso did.
\nHe says greater love has no man <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:29,680 –> 00:33:33,240
\nthan this, that a man lay down
\nhis life for his friends. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:33,240 –> 00:33:35,480
\nAnd I’m sure that Joseph
\nexpected something like that to <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:35,480 –> 00:33:38,240
\nhappen when he was sent by his
\nfather to his brethren in <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:38,240 –> 00:33:42,240
\nShechem.
\nIt took 20 years before he <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:42,240 –> 00:33:46,600
\nreally found his brethren when
\nthey came before him in Egypt. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:47,560 –> 00:33:50,960
\nAnd we hope that 2000 years
\nafter the Jews have rejected <\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:50,960 –> 00:33:57,800
\nJesus that Jesus also will find
\nhis Jewish brethren in chapter <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:57,800 –> 00:34:10,850
\n48 and verse 22 and verse 21 for
\nconnection there before he died,<\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:11,409 –> 00:34:17,730
\nJacob said to Joseph, Behold I
\ndie, I’m about to die. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:18,409 –> 00:34:23,199
\nBut Eloveim shall be with you,
\nand bring you again unto the <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:23,199 –> 00:34:26,760
\nland of your father’s.
\nMoreover, I’ve given to thee 1 <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:26,760 –> 00:34:29,600
\nportion of birth thy Breton,
\nwhich I took out of the land, <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:29,719 –> 00:34:33,520
\nout of the hand of the Amorite
\nwith my sword and with my poem. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:34,400 –> 00:34:40,159
\nJacob gave unto Joseph that
\nplace in Shechem, where the oak <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:40,159 –> 00:34:42,880
\nof the Teacher was, where the
\npromises were given, and where <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:42,880 –> 00:34:47,760
\nthe altar was built.
\nAnd that is a wonderful thing. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:47,840 –> 00:34:52,159
\nAnd Joseph himself also, when he
\nwas about to die, look what he <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:52,159 –> 00:35:00,520
\nsays in chapter 50, in chapter
\n50 and verse 24, Joseph says the<\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:00,520 –> 00:35:02,360
\nsame thing.
\nJoseph said unto his bread, and <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:03,080 –> 00:35:07,640
\nI die, I’m about to die.
\nAnd Elvin will surely visit you <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:07,680 –> 00:35:11,480
\nand bring you out of this land,
\nunto the land which you swear to<\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:11,480 –> 00:35:15,040
\nAbram, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
\nAnd Joseph took an oath of the <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:15,040 –> 00:35:18,520
\nchildren vessel saying, Elvin
\nwill surely visit you, and ye <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:18,520 –> 00:35:21,160
\nshall carry up my bones from
\nhands. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:21,960 –> 00:35:27,040
\nAnd Joseph died 110 years old.
\nAnd they inbound him and he was <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:27,040 –> 00:35:30,320
\nput in a box in the coffin in
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:30,320 –> 00:35:34,480
\nSo the coffin stayed in Egypt
\nall the time. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:34,480 –> 00:35:36,200
\nThe children of Israel were
\nthere. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:37,120 –> 00:35:40,560
\nThey carried it around on their
\nshoulders for 40 years. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:41,680 –> 00:35:45,160
\nThose bones crossed the river
\nJordan when Joshua entered into <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:45,160 –> 00:35:53,120
\nthe land and by Tobiah and then
\nthey brought him to Shechem. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:53,600 –> 00:35:57,680
\nThere he was buried where under
\nthe oak tree. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:59,240 –> 00:36:18,130
\nYou go to Joshua chapter 24.
\nIn verse 32 we see that exactly <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:18,130 –> 00:36:21,850
\nthe same place, but finally they
\ncame to Shechem. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:23,840 –> 00:36:27,080
\nThey took the bones of Joseph
\nwhich the children of Israel <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:27,320 –> 00:36:31,720
\nbrought about of Egypt.
\nThey buried in Shechem in a <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:35,760
\nparcel of crown which Jacob
\nbought of the sons of Hammer, <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:35,760 –> 00:36:39,440
\nthe fat of Shechem for 100
\npieces of silver, and became the<\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:39,440 –> 00:36:42,400
\ninheritance of the children of
\nJoseph. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:43,440 –> 00:36:46,920
\nSo now we’ve got the same oak of
\nthe teacher, but the Isles were <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:46,920 –> 00:36:50,000
\nburied for the household of
\nJacob, and right beside it were <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:57,480
\nthe bones of Joseph.
\nBut not only the bones of <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:57,480 –> 00:36:59,720
\nJoseph, there were many more
\nbones there. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:59,720 –> 00:37:16,810
\nIf you go to Acts Chapter 7,
\nit was 15. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:16,810 –> 00:37:22,290
\nWe breed.
\nIt was Acts Chapter 7. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:22,890 –> 00:37:30,200
\nJacob went down into Egypt and
\ndied, he and our fathers, and <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:33,600
\nthat says in the Greek.
\nThey were carried over into <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:33,640 –> 00:37:37,160
\nShechem, and laid in the
\nsepulchre that Abram bought for <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:37,160 –> 00:37:40,920
\na sum of money of the sons of
\nHammer, the father of Shechem. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:43,720 –> 00:37:47,560
\nSo not only Joseph was buried,
\nthere also Reuben, and Simeon, <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:47,560 –> 00:37:50,000
\nand Levi, and Judah, and all his
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:50,320 –> 00:37:55,040
\nHere in death, under the oak of
\nthe teacher, Joseph was united <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:55,040 –> 00:37:59,760
\nwith his brethren.
\nJoseph was so different from his<\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:59,760 –> 00:38:02,120
\nbrethren.
\nIt says in Genesis 49, it was <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:02,120 –> 00:38:05,000
\n26.
\nHe was the separate one of his <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:06,560
\nbrethren.
\nIt’s the same word for a <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:06,560 –> 00:38:10,440
\nNazarite.
\nSo do we see now the importance <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:10,440 –> 00:38:14,240
\nby the sisters of that place?
\nDo we start to understand why <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:14,320 –> 00:38:16,880
\nJesus had to go to that
\nparticular place? <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:16,880 –> 00:38:22,360
\nBut there’s much more to it.
\nJohn Moses had commanded Joshua <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:22,360 –> 00:38:26,720
\nto go to Shechem and pronounce a
\nblessing and a curse. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:26,720 –> 00:38:29,680
\nA blessing on Mount Corizum and
\na curse on Mount Evil. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:31,840 –> 00:38:34,440
\nSo you can see them very went
\nfrom the camp of vision near <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:34,440 –> 00:38:37,240
\nGilgarh.
\nAnd David and Moses had said, <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:37,480 –> 00:38:40,800
\nWhen you come into the land,
\nthen you shall put a blessing <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:40,800 –> 00:38:43,640
\nupon Mount Corizon, and a curse
\nupon Mount Evil. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:44,360 –> 00:38:49,200
\nAnd you shall also set up these
\nstones which are commanded in <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:49,200 –> 00:38:51,920
\nMount Evil.
\nPlacidonus Plaston, right the <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:51,920 –> 00:38:55,200
\nlower on them.
\nNow there’s something else <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:55,200 –> 00:38:58,320
\nthere.
\nIf you go back to Joshua 24, we <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:58,320 –> 00:39:02,880
\njust read in at the end of
\nchapter 24 that he buried the <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:02,880 –> 00:39:06,680
\nbones of Joseph under the oak.
\nBut that came after another <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:06,680 –> 00:39:17,820
\nevent in verse 25.
\nWe read that Joshua made the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:17,820 –> 00:39:21,220
\ncovenant with the people that
\nday and set him a statute and an<\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:21,220 –> 00:39:25,060
\nordinance in 2nd.
\nAnd Joshua wrote these words in <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:25,060 –> 00:39:30,600
\nthe book of the law of Elovim.
\nIt took a great stone, I said <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:30,600 –> 00:39:37,440
\nit, where under the oak that was
\nby the century of Yahweh, and <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:38,520 –> 00:39:40,440
\nwhere Joshua said unto all the
\npeople be. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:40,440 –> 00:39:42,760
\nAll this done shall be for a
\nwitness unto us. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:43,120 –> 00:39:46,640
\nFor it has heard all the words
\nof Yahweh she spoken to us. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:46,960 –> 00:39:51,120
\nIt shall be there for a witness
\nunto you, lest ye deny your God.<\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:52,040 –> 00:39:56,520
\nSo Joshua did the very same
\nthing under the oak of the <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:56,520 –> 00:39:59,440
\nTeacher.
\nHe had learned the teaching of <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:59,440 –> 00:40:03,000
\nAbraham.
\nHe was back at that oak of the <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:03,000 –> 00:40:06,160
\nteacher, and he did the same
\nthing as Jacob did. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:06,400 –> 00:40:10,680
\nLook what it says in verse 23.
\nPut away the strange gods which <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:10,680 –> 00:40:15,360
\nare among you, and inclined your
\nheart unto Yahweh, your Elovene.<\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:17,560 –> 00:40:21,360
\nHe himself said the example,
\nBradman sisters, He said, As for<\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:21,360 –> 00:40:24,520
\nme and my house, we will serve
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:24,840 –> 00:40:27,080
\nAnd therefore that Shechem.
\nEspecially the place of the oak <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:27,080 –> 00:40:28,840
\nof the teachers, the place of
\ndecision. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:29,120 –> 00:40:31,320
\nWe’re there almost every day in
\nour life by the sisters. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:31,320 –> 00:40:34,880
\nWhat decision do we take?
\nAre we ready to put away all the<\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:34,880 –> 00:40:38,240
\nidols in our life?
\nAre we listening to the words of<\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:38,240 –> 00:40:40,560
\nGod?
\nAre we listening to the teacher <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:40,680 –> 00:40:44,320
\nunder that oak?
\nSo by the sisters, when Jesus <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:44,320 –> 00:40:49,200
\nwent there, the same place all
\nthe associations would have been<\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:49,440 –> 00:40:53,680
\nin his mind.
\nThe Samaritans look upon Mount <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:53,680 –> 00:40:56,640
\nHorizon as a holy mountain
\nbecause of the blessing which <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:56,960 –> 00:41:01,760
\nJoshua pronounced on it.
\nJoseph’s parable and all his <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:01,760 –> 00:41:05,720
\nBrits were killed in Shechem was
\nalso called off from Mount <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:05,720 –> 00:41:08,240
\nHorizon.
\nSo it’s received an added <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:08,240 –> 00:41:11,800
\nsanctification Sound Balat
\nerected the temple of Mount <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:11,800 –> 00:41:16,480
\nHorizon and we can see that and
\nin the 2nd century Grandeur <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:16,480 –> 00:41:21,560
\ntemple was built here that there
\nbecame a place of worship for <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:21,560 –> 00:41:23,920
\nthe Samaritans.
\nYou can now understand it. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:24,720 –> 00:41:28,880
\nSo when the woman said I’ll be
\nworship here because it’s the <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:28,880 –> 00:41:31,960
\nmountain of blessing, Joseph’s
\npower was there. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:32,200 –> 00:41:34,960
\nIt’s a temple builder since the
\ntime of the return of from the <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:34,960 –> 00:41:37,680
\nexile.
\nYou must say you must in <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:37,680 –> 00:41:41,960
\nJerusalem worship.
\nJesus said it doesn’t matter. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:42,600 –> 00:41:50,160
\nGod is spirit and they that
\nworship him must worship him in <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:50,160 –> 00:41:53,800
\nspirit and in truth.
\nIf you don’t worship God in <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:56,200
\nspirit and in truth, it’s
\nuseless. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:56,880 –> 00:42:01,200
\nWe must worship God in spirit
\nand in truth. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:02,880 –> 00:42:07,760
\nSo Jesus had to be.
\nAnd when he was sitting at <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:07,760 –> 00:42:13,400
\nmidday under the oak of Shechen,
\nthe oak of the teacher, I’m sure<\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:13,400 –> 00:42:16,600
\nthat all those associations
\nwe’ve been going through now <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:16,600 –> 00:42:20,200
\nwould have entered into his mind
\nbecause he was the one who <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:20,200 –> 00:42:23,120
\nsought his brethren.
\nHe was a separate one of his <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:23,120 –> 00:42:26,400
\nbrethren.
\nLet’s go back to what Jacob says<\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:26,720 –> 00:42:30,520
\nbecause it’s the ultimate
\nfulfilment, the ultimate reason <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:30,520 –> 00:42:36,920
\nwhy Jesus went to the oak of the
\nteaching in Genesis 49 and verse<\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:37,000 –> 00:42:44,520
\n22.
\nThere we’ve got Jacob’s blessing<\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:45,600 –> 00:42:53,530
\non Joseph.
\nHe says Joseph is a fruitful <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:53,530 –> 00:42:56,930
\nbell, even a fruitful bell by a
\nbell. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:57,890 –> 00:43:02,320
\nThe bell is checking whose
\nbranches or whose daughters run <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:02,320 –> 00:43:05,520
\nover the wall.
\nThe artists have sorely grieved <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:05,520 –> 00:43:08,280
\nhim and shot him and hated him.
\nBut his bow evolved in his <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:08,280 –> 00:43:11,160
\nstrength, and the arms of his
\nhands were made strong by the <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:11,200 –> 00:43:14,880
\nhand of the mighty One of Jacob.
\nFrom then such a shepherd, the <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:14,880 –> 00:43:16,400
\nstone of Israel.
\nWhat a blessing. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:16,720 –> 00:43:18,760
\nBut the branches run over the
\nwall. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:18,760 –> 00:43:22,360
\nThere was a wall around Israel,
\nlike there was a wall around <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:22,480 –> 00:43:26,440
\nthat well, and Jesus sat on that
\nwall, which is like the middle <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:26,440 –> 00:43:29,680
\nwall of partition, but the
\nbranches, the daughters went <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:29,920 –> 00:43:33,600
\nover that wall and reached unto
\nthat woman of Sumerian. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:35,200 –> 00:43:39,880
\nShe was also a bit like Dinah, a
\nwoman that didn’t leave her life<\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:39,880 –> 00:43:44,320
\naccording to the truth.
\nBut it is the only woman whom <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:44,400 –> 00:43:49,080
\nJesus revealed himself as the
\nMessiah under the oak of the <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:49,080 –> 00:43:52,360
\nteacher.
\nSo the ultimate power of <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:52,360 –> 00:43:57,400
\nShechembread insists that Jesus
\ngives the choice of believing <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:57,840 –> 00:44:02,800
\nthat he’s a Messiah not only for
\nthe Jews, but unto us, like the <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:02,800 –> 00:44:05,640
\nwoman is to marry as Gentiles as
\nwell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
