Class 5 from this series was used in GCT Episode 341.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:07,800 –> 00:00:11,440
\nOur first period teacher is
\nBrother Sean Moynihan. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:12,400 –> 00:00:16,320
\nHis general subject is Mary of
\nNazareth. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:23,440
\nToday’s topic is Mary’s voice.
\nGood morning, brothers and <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:23,440 –> 00:00:28,520
\nsisters.
\nSo I have to confess that the <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:28,520 –> 00:00:32,360
\nbest part of having the
\nprivilege of giving a class is <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:32,360 –> 00:00:36,640
\nwhen people come up to you on a
\ntopic that you’ve thought about <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:36,640 –> 00:00:38,840
\nand said, have you ever thought
\nabout this? <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:39,720 –> 00:00:43,360
\nAnd it’s just a gem.
\nAnd it deepens my understanding.<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:46,880
\nSo thank you for doing that.
\nI look forward to four more days<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:46,880 –> 00:00:49,400
\nof that and perhaps emails after
\nthat. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:49,400 –> 00:00:53,200
\nSo thank you.
\nSo there are some questions, and<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:56,720
\none of the questions that came
\nup was about Mary as an orphan. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,440 –> 00:01:00,000
\nAnd yeah, so we’re going to see
\nthat Mary was indeed an orphan. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:00,320 –> 00:01:04,480
\nBut some of the other questions
\ncame up and they’re really <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:04,480 –> 00:01:09,640
\naround, sorry, they’re really
\naround this apocryphal book <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:12,120
\ncalled the Proto Evangelum of
\nJames, sometimes called the <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:12,120 –> 00:01:15,800
\nInfancy Gospel of James.
\nIt’s very early. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:16,120 –> 00:01:21,360
\nIt’s circa 150.
\nAnd it, it really undermines a <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:21,360 –> 00:01:28,240
\nbiblical understanding of Mary.
\nAnd it’s it shows how early the <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:28,240 –> 00:01:32,200
\napostasy had sunk its claws into
\nMary to turn her into something <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:36,000
\nthat she is not biblically.
\nSo it perpetuates false <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:39,400
\ndoctrines about Mary.
\nAnd it’s the earliest assertion <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:39,720 –> 00:01:41,760
\nof this idea of perpetual
\nvirginity. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:43,120 –> 00:01:47,800
\nBut in all these things, there’s
\nkind of a a kernel of truth, a <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:51,160
\nkernel of fact upon which is
\npiled a ton of fiction. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:51,640 –> 00:01:54,240
\nAnd so one of the things that I
\nthink is true is that Mary was <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:54,240 –> 00:01:57,400
\nan orphan.
\nAnd we’re going to see that in <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:57,400 –> 00:02:04,680
\njust a second.
\nSo Mary’s voice, so she has the <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:07,640
\nmost dialogue of any woman in
\nthe New Testament. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:11,880
\nShe speaks with Gabriel, she
\nsings with Elizabeth, she <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:11,880 –> 00:02:14,840
\nchastises Jesus.
\nWe’re going to see in a couple <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:14,840 –> 00:02:18,120
\ndays how that goes.
\nShe engages Jesus in problem <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:18,120 –> 00:02:20,600
\nsolving at the wedding of Cana.
\nAgain, we’re going to see that <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:20,600 –> 00:02:24,960
\nas well.
\nSo the most dialogue of any <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:24,960 –> 00:02:28,840
\nwoman in the New Testament.
\nAnd we’re going to focus because<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:28,840 –> 00:02:31,400
\nwe’re going to take a look at at
\nthe other examples, God willing,<\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:33,600
\nlater in the week.
\nWe’re going to focus on 2 <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:33,600 –> 00:02:38,320
\nexamples.
\nThe 1st is the great song in her<\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:38,320 –> 00:02:42,840
\ninteraction with Elizabeth.
\nAnd the second example is we are<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:45,840
\ngoing to see Mary’s voice in the
\nGospel of John. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:52,400
\nWe’re going to see tremendous
\nspiritual insights that I feel <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:54,760
\ncould only come from Mary to
\nJohn. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:55,880 –> 00:02:59,800
\nDon’t forget that, that at the
\ncross, Jesus commanded John to <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:59,800 –> 00:03:03,040
\ntake Mary into his home, and he
\ndid so from that day forward. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:04,320 –> 00:03:10,400
\nAnd you can imagine the kind of
\nBible stories, sorry, the Bible <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,280
\nclasses that would have happened
\nas a result. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:14,240 –> 00:03:20,760
\nImagine living with Mary.
\nDo you remember in Sunday school<\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:20,760 –> 00:03:24,200
\nwe we’d sang a song?
\nTell me the stories of Jesus. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:28,520
\nI long to hear things I would
\nask him to tell me if he were <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:28,520 –> 00:03:31,120
\nhere.
\nI would have done that with <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:31,120 –> 00:03:32,720
\nMary.
\nAnd I’m sure John did too, even <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:32,720 –> 00:03:35,360
\nthough they had a close familial
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:39,240
\nSo we can imagine the influence
\nthat Mary would have had on <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:39,240 –> 00:03:42,160
\nJohn’s understanding of the
\nGospel and how to portray the <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:45,200
\nGospel.
\nHis brother Robert Roberts said <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:45,200 –> 00:03:49,320
\nyou can no more suppress the
\ninfluence of a wise woman then <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:49,320 –> 00:03:51,520
\nyou can suppress the law of
\ngravitation. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:53,520 –> 00:03:56,160
\nAnd we’re going to see Mary’s
\nvoice in John’s Gospel. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:58,120 –> 00:04:02,440
\nSo Mary’s voice was compelling.
\nAnd that comes up becomes <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:02,440 –> 00:04:06,640
\napparent right away because
\nafter her interaction with <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:06,640 –> 00:04:13,640
\nGabriel, we see that she decides
\nthat she must arise with haste <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:13,640 –> 00:04:17,680
\nand go into the Hill Country in
\nJudea to Elizabeth’s house. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:18,640 –> 00:04:20,360
\nNow why do we think she was an
\norphan? <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:20,360 –> 00:04:24,160
\nWell, it says that Mary returned
\nto her house. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:25,240 –> 00:04:29,840
\nAnd in Luke 1, there is an
\nimplicit comparison between <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:30,040 –> 00:04:35,160
\nZacharias, who lost his voice
\nbecause he was did not believe, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:35,440 –> 00:04:39,120
\nand Mary, whose voice was
\nelevated because she did <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:42,720
\nbelieve.
\nWhen she go, when Mary goes to <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:42,720 –> 00:04:46,440
\nElizabeth, it says that she’s in
\nZacharias’s house. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:46,840 –> 00:04:49,240
\nSo that’s in keeping with the
\nconvention of the day. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:49,480 –> 00:04:52,720
\nIf you were a woman, you you did
\nnot live in your house if there <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:52,720 –> 00:04:56,320
\nwas a male present.
\nBut if you did not live with a <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:56,320 –> 00:05:01,320
\nmale, it was your house.
\nAnd so the the tidbit that we <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:01,320 –> 00:05:07,480
\nhave in Luke 156, Mary returned
\nto her house, indicates that she<\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:07,480 –> 00:05:13,120
\nwas an orphan.
\nNow Mary convinces Joseph, <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:13,640 –> 00:05:16,400
\nbecause that’s who she would
\nhave had to talk to, that she <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:18,600
\nmust travel the 90 miles to
\nElizabeth. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:19,600 –> 00:05:21,400
\nPicture how that conversation
\nwent. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:23,040 –> 00:05:26,040
\nJoseph, how’s it going today,
\nJoseph? <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:26,040 –> 00:05:28,520
\nI need to leave.
\nI need to visit Elizabeth. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:29,840 –> 00:05:31,880
\nWell, that’s 90 miles away.
\nThat’s, you know, that’s <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:31,880 –> 00:05:34,960
\nexpensive, that’s perhaps
\nunsafe. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:35,520 –> 00:05:40,520
\nWhen are you thinking of doing
\nit right now, like today? <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:43,240 –> 00:05:47,920
\nSo you can imagine, given the
\ncost of the trip, giving the <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:51,040
\nsafety implications, given all
\nthose things, the logistical <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:51,040 –> 00:05:54,400
\nconcerns, because she just
\nwasn’t Ubering the 90 miles, <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:58,640
\nright?
\nIt was an unsafe journey for a <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:58,640 –> 00:06:02,880
\nsmall group.
\nSo, So Joseph and Mary had to <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:02,880 –> 00:06:05,280
\nconnect to a larger group that
\nwas headed South. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:07,080 –> 00:06:10,800
\nSo we can infer then that Mary
\nwas a persuasive person. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:10,800 –> 00:06:13,600
\nAnd that comes across in other
\nexamples too, right? <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:13,600 –> 00:06:18,080
\nAt the wedding at Cana, clearly
\nshe is a very persuasive person.<\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:19,240 –> 00:06:23,240
\nSo we read that in Luke 139 that
\nMary arose in those days and <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:23,240 –> 00:06:27,120
\nwent into the whole country with
\nhaste to the city of Judah and <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:27,120 –> 00:06:31,200
\nentered the House of Zacharias.
\nSo the trip would have looked <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:31,200 –> 00:06:35,040
\nlike this and there would have
\nbeen two possible routes. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,720
\nThe most frequently used route
\nand the safest route was to go <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:39,720 –> 00:06:47,760
\nalong the Jordan River Valley.
\nNow perhaps she did that. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:56,560
\nMy thought is that perhaps she
\nwent through Samaria and I would<\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:56,560 –> 00:07:00,840
\nsuggest that that is perhaps the
\norigin of the malicious slander <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:01,400 –> 00:07:07,360
\nthat Jesus faces in John 8,
\nwhere they say unto him, Are we <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:07,360 –> 00:07:10,680
\nnot rightly say rightly that you
\nare a Samaritan? <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:12,840 –> 00:07:18,120
\nSo this idea that Mary travelled
\nSouth and came back pregnant <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:19,160 –> 00:07:21,640
\ntravelling through Samaria.
\nSo if that’s true or not, but <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:22,000 –> 00:07:25,680
\nbut that seems possible.
\nSomething to think about anyway.<\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:34,320
\nSo where was she going?
\nWell, if we take a look at it, <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:39,880
\nsome various destinations have
\nbeen suggested for the home of <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:42,920
\nZacharias and Elizabeth.
\nSome have suggested Jericho. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:43,400 –> 00:07:47,080
\nSome brother, Harry Whitaker,
\nnotably suggested Hevron. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:47,560 –> 00:07:50,600
\nMost scholars suggest that it
\nwas in a place called Ayn Karem,<\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:51,640 –> 00:07:57,440
\nso that’s where she was headed.
\nSo let’s take a look at voice in<\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:57,440 –> 00:08:01,560
\nLuke 1, because quite
\nintentionally, the narrative <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:01,560 –> 00:08:05,920
\njuxtaposes Mary’s voice and the
\nvoice of Zacharias. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:07,520 –> 00:08:10,480
\nZacharias lack of faith made him
\nvoiceless. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:11,640 –> 00:08:15,000
\nIt is the House of Zacharias,
\nbut he is silent. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:16,000 –> 00:08:18,520
\nAs you know.
\nHis voice does not return until <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:19,280 –> 00:08:27,000
\nthere’s evidence for his belief.
\nMary’s voice triggers a reaction<\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:27,840 –> 00:08:31,520
\nand then it’s recorded that
\nElizabeth speaks with a loud <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:35,320
\nvoice.
\nIt’s Mary’s voice that is the <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:35,320 –> 00:08:39,559
\ncatalyst for Elizabeth and verse
\n44 of Luke 1 revealed. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:39,760 –> 00:08:44,960
\nFor indeed, as soon as the voice
\nof your greeting sounded in my <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:44,960 –> 00:08:49,720
\nears, the babe leapt in my womb
\nfor joy. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:52,000 –> 00:08:59,160
\nNow Elizabeth speaks, and she’s
\nfilled with the Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:59,240 –> 00:09:02,760
\nAnd through the Holy Spirit,
\nElizabeth recognize Jesus as <\/p>\n
126
\n00:09:02,760 –> 00:09:07,000
\nChrist, and she is the first
\nperson to recognize Jesus as <\/p>\n
127
\n00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:10,320
\nLord.
\nWho am I that the mother of my <\/p>\n
128
\n00:09:10,320 –> 00:09:15,320
\nLord should come unto me?
\nWe read in Luke 142. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:15,320 –> 00:09:18,200
\nThen she spoke out with a loud
\nvoice and said, blessed are you <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:20,360
\namong women, and blessed is the
\nfruit of your womb. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:22,120 –> 00:09:25,680
\nShe echoes Gabriel, doesn’t she?
\nBlessed among women And she <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:25,680 –> 00:09:27,760
\ntalks about the fruit of the
\nwomb. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:28,960 –> 00:09:31,680
\nInteresting phrase.
\nBlessed are you among women? <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:34,880
\nThere’s only two women in the
\nBible that this is used in <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:34,880 –> 00:09:37,840
\nreference to Mary.
\nAnd who’s the other one? <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:40,960
\nWho?
\nJL. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:40,960 –> 00:09:45,880
\nYeah, JL, I don’t know if you
\nwant to use that picture, <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:45,880 –> 00:09:47,200
\nbrother.
\nI really like that one. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:47,240 –> 00:09:49,200
\nShe seems to really get into the
\ntask. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:50,160 –> 00:09:52,320
\nYeah.
\nThe only other woman referred to<\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:57,680
\nas bust among women is JL.
\nAnd of course, this is a deeply <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:58,080 –> 00:10:02,120
\nprofound connection that
\nElizabeth is making here. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:09,000
\nThe her offspring will crush
\nyour head in Genesis 315 and <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:11,640
\nit’s of course what Paul takes
\nup in Galatians 4. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:16,080
\nThe fullness of time had come.
\nGod sent forth his son born of a<\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:16,080 –> 00:10:21,160
\nwoman.
\nSo in the song of Deborah we <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:21,160 –> 00:10:24,560
\nhave most blessed among women is
\nJAL. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:25,480 –> 00:10:28,320
\nSo this is a very powerful
\nconnection and it’s an <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:28,320 –> 00:10:33,000
\naffirmation coming from
\nElizabeth of Mary’s great task. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:35,880 –> 00:10:39,600
\nNow Brother Thomas talks about
\nthis in Help Us Israel says the <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:39,600 –> 00:10:43,000
\ngreat principle to be compassed
\nwas the condemnation of sin and <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:43,000 –> 00:10:46,280
\nsinful flesh in a scent of
\nactual transgression. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:50,600
\nThis principle necessitated the
\nmanifestation of one who should <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:53,440
\nbe born of a woman, but not of
\nthe will of man. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:53,960 –> 00:10:57,040
\nSuch a one would be the seed of
\nthe woman, made of her substance<\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:57,640 –> 00:11:00,720
\nwith him for his Father, who by
\nhis overshadowing Spirit should <\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:00,720 –> 00:11:03,640
\ncause her to conceive.
\nHe would be Son of God by <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:03,640 –> 00:11:07,680
\norigination and son of Mary by
\ndescent or birth of sinful <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:07,680 –> 00:11:12,480
\nflesh.
\nSo this is a profound task that <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:12,480 –> 00:11:16,080
\nElizabeth is is raising in
\nMary’s mind. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:18,560
\nI’m sure she had thought of it
\nalong the way. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:19,600 –> 00:11:24,560
\nSays the fruit or carpos of your
\nwomb and that word room womb is <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:24,560 –> 00:11:26,760
\nreally kind of belly.
\nIt doesn’t. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:26,760 –> 00:11:29,360
\nIt’s not gastrous, which is
\nanother word for womb. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:30,160 –> 00:11:33,640
\nAnd of course, Mary’s biblical
\nmind would have been worrying <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:33,640 –> 00:11:36,880
\nback to all the references of
\nfruit. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:38,240 –> 00:11:42,960
\nPsalm 13711 The Lord has sworn
\nin truth to David. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:43,120 –> 00:11:46,600
\nHe will not turn from it.
\nI will set upon your front, your<\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:46,600 –> 00:11:52,320
\nthrone, the fruit of your body.
\nAnd of course, something that we<\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:52,320 –> 00:11:55,040
\nall think about whenever we’re
\nblessed with a with a child in <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:55,040 –> 00:11:57,960
\nour ecclesia.
\nBehold, children are a heritage <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:57,960 –> 00:12:00,440
\nfrom the Lord.
\nThe fruit of the womb is a <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:05,600
\nreward.
\nSo this other word literally <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:05,600 –> 00:12:12,480
\nbelly, Psalm 22, I was cast upon
\nthee from the womb. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:12,800 –> 00:12:16,320
\nThou art my God from my mother’s
\nbelly. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:17,360 –> 00:12:21,880
\nPsalm 22 would figure
\nprominently in Jesus life and in<\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:21,880 –> 00:12:28,880
\nMary’s life, Psalm 71 as well.
\nBy thee have I been holding out <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:32,000
\nfrom the womb.
\nThou art he that took me from my<\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:34,080
\nmother’s bowels.
\nAnd there’s that, that word in <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:34,080 –> 00:12:37,640
\nthe Septuagint, the same word,
\nmy praise continually. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:42,520
\nSo be.
\nSo Mary breaks out in this <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:42,520 –> 00:12:46,280
\ntriumphant song, this triumphant
\nsong. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:46,280 –> 00:12:50,520
\nSo let’s read it.
\nAnd Luke 1 And Mary said, My <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:50,520 –> 00:12:55,600
\nsoul magnifies the Lord, and my
\nspirit has rejoiced in God my <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:55,600 –> 00:13:00,280
\nSavior, for he has regarded the
\nlowly state of his maidservant. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:00,280 –> 00:13:04,080
\nFor behold, henceforth all
\ngenerations will call me <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:04,080 –> 00:13:10,240
\nblessed, For he who is mighty
\nhas done great things for me. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:10,960 –> 00:13:17,040
\nAnd holy is His name, and His
\nmercy is on those who fear Him <\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:21,560
\nfrom generation to generation.
\nHe has shown strength with His <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:21,560 –> 00:13:23,240
\narm.
\nHe has scattered the proud and <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:26,280
\nthe imagination of their hearts.
\nHe has put down the mighty from <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:26,280 –> 00:13:28,080
\ntheir Thrones and exalted the
\nlowly. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:28,560 –> 00:13:32,560
\nHe has filled the hungry with
\ngood things, and the rich He has<\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:32,560 –> 00:13:37,520
\nsent away empty.
\nHe has helped His servant Israel<\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:37,680 –> 00:13:41,000
\nin remembrance of His mercy as
\nHe spoke to our fathers, to <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:44,160
\nAbraham, and to His seed
\nforever. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:46,760 –> 00:13:50,480
\nSo biblical scholars estimate
\nthat there’s between 25 and 50 <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:50,480 –> 00:13:54,360
\ndistinct Old Testament
\nallusions, references that Mary <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:54,360 –> 00:14:02,760
\njust compacts in here.
\nIt’s an overflow of joy, joy <\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:02,760 –> 00:14:05,040
\nabout the promises of God being
\nfulfilled. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:06,600 –> 00:14:08,600
\nAnd Mary would have thought of
\nother songs. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:08,600 –> 00:14:11,600
\nShe would have especially
\nthought of Hannah’s song, but <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:11,600 –> 00:14:13,960
\nshe would have thought of
\nDeborah’s song and Miriam’s <\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:19,240
\nsong, and the themes are just so
\nconsistent. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:20,440 –> 00:14:24,720
\nThere’s the rejoicing in God.
\nThere’s the personalization of <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:24,720 –> 00:14:27,440
\nsalvation, that God just doesn’t
\nprovide salvation. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:27,440 –> 00:14:31,640
\nBut God saves me.
\nGod lifts me up. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:33,160 –> 00:14:36,480
\nThere’s the recognition of
\nAbraham’s seed in Christ and the<\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:41,520
\nrecognition that this world, the
\nway it exists now, is not our <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:41,640 –> 00:14:47,320
\nKingdom and that God is going to
\nturn the existing order upside <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:47,320 –> 00:14:49,160
\ndown.
\nThe proud are going to be <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:49,160 –> 00:14:52,880
\nhumbled, the mighty are going to
\nbe made powerless, the rich will<\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:52,880 –> 00:14:59,440
\nbe made poor, and and
\nconversely, the full will be <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:59,440 –> 00:15:04,200
\nmade hungry.
\nNow that’s we don’t have time to<\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:07,040
\ngo into each and every of the 50
\nillusions. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:07,160 –> 00:15:09,920
\nLet’s take a couple.
\nSo let’s take the start. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:15,280
\nMy soul magnifies Megalino, the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:16,080 –> 00:15:21,240
\nNow this word happens all the
\ntime in the Septuagint, and it <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:21,240 –> 00:15:25,800
\nhappens in some pretty
\nsignificant occasions. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:27,360 –> 00:15:31,200
\nIt happens in David’s prayer of
\nthanks for the Davidic covenant <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:31,960 –> 00:15:36,720
\nin Second Samuel 726.
\nLet thy name be magnified <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:36,720 –> 00:15:40,840
\nforever.
\nWe talked yesterday. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:40,840 –> 00:15:44,880
\nMary was a Princess and she knew
\nshe was a Princess, and so I’m <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:44,880 –> 00:15:49,280
\nsure, especially as she
\njourneyed S that was 90 miles, <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:49,440 –> 00:15:53,000
\nthat she would have been
\nthinking what this means and <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:55,160
\nmaking those connections to
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:56,880 –> 00:15:59,760
\nIt also occurs in David’s prayer
\nof thanks for deliverance from <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:59,760 –> 00:16:03,480
\nthe Philistine king.
\nIt occurs in David’s plea for <\/p>\n
229
\n00:16:03,480 –> 00:16:08,880
\nGod to avenge him in Psalm 35,
\nand it occurs in Psalm 40. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:16:09,840 –> 00:16:13,680
\nLet all those who seek you
\nrejoice and be glad in you. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:18,480
\nLet such as love your salvation.
\nSay continually the Lord be <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:18,480 –> 00:16:24,960
\nmagnified as Mary thought, like,
\nhow do I begin? <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:25,640 –> 00:16:29,760
\nHow do I begin to express the
\njoy that I feel, the gratitude <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:29,760 –> 00:16:32,520
\nthat I feel, the Thanksgiving?
\nHow do I do that? <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:35,840 –> 00:16:41,160
\nDid she not think that let all
\nwho seek your seek you rejoice <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:41,160 –> 00:16:44,640
\nand be glad in You?
\nLet such as love your salvation.<\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:44,640 –> 00:16:47,120
\nSay continually the Lord be
\nmagnified. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:47,240 –> 00:16:49,120
\nHow should I start?
\nMary asked herself. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:49,640 –> 00:16:52,240
\nI start here with magnifying the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:53,720 –> 00:16:57,960
\nIt also occurs in Psalm 69.
\nBut I am poor and sorrowful. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:58,560 –> 00:17:01,560
\nLet your salvation, O God, set
\nme up on high. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:17:02,320 –> 00:17:05,480
\nI will praise the name of God
\nwith a song and I will magnify <\/p>\n
243
\n00:17:05,480 –> 00:17:14,280
\nhim with Thanksgiving.
\nAnd as Mary speaks, her voice is<\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:14,280 –> 00:17:16,920
\nthe embodiment of the virtuous
\nwoman. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:18,520 –> 00:17:20,920
\nShe’s the embodiment of the
\nEshet Kyle. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:22,680 –> 00:17:28,520
\nNow this is a a passage in in
\nProverbs 31 that doesn’t always <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:28,520 –> 00:17:34,400
\npop out the way that it should.
\nIn Proverbs 31, verse 26, she <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:37,880
\nopens her mouth with wisdom and
\non her tongue is the law of <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:37,880 –> 00:17:42,400
\nkindness.
\nNow, I’ve always read that that,<\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:43,040 –> 00:17:45,840
\nyou know, a virtuous woman is,
\nis very kind, right? <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:45,840 –> 00:17:48,520
\nVery nice.
\nBut what’s that word for <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:48,520 –> 00:17:54,360
\nkindness?
\nI said faithfulness. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:57,240
\nIt is one of the most important
\nHebrew words. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:57,920 –> 00:18:00,480
\nHebrew scholars say that’s
\nuntranslatable because it’s so <\/p>\n
255
\n00:18:00,480 –> 00:18:03,600
\npowerful.
\nIt’s covenant, love it. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:07,040
\nIt talks about a web of
\nrelationships. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:18:08,240 –> 00:18:10,520
\nAnd So what does the virtuous
\nwoman do? <\/p>\n
258
\n00:18:11,880 –> 00:18:14,720
\nShe talks about Cassad all the
\ntime. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:15,920 –> 00:18:19,760
\nShe talks about God’s promises,
\nabout God’s covenant love, about<\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:19,760 –> 00:18:25,640
\nhis salvation.
\nCassad. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:26,680 –> 00:18:30,680
\nAnd we’re going to see how
\nprominently Cassad figures in <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:30,680 –> 00:18:35,000
\nMary’s song.
\nAnd we’re going to see that she <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:40,480
\nuses the Greek version Elios,
\nwhich is the most commonly <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:44,600
\ntranslated word in the
\nSeptuagint 4 If I said, because <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:44,600 –> 00:18:49,880
\nwe recognize, brothers and
\nsisters, that Mary’s song is all<\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:49,880 –> 00:18:57,600
\nabout God’s promises.
\nWe see this in verse 50 and in <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:05,200
\nher great triumphant final note.
\nAnd 54 and 55 and his mercy. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:19:05,240 –> 00:19:10,280
\nThere’s that covenant love word,
\nand His mercy is on those who <\/p>\n
269
\n00:19:10,280 –> 00:19:12,880
\nfear Him from generation to
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:19:13,880 –> 00:19:17,480
\nHe has helped his servant Israel
\nin remembrance of his mercy. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:19:17,840 –> 00:19:21,960
\nThere’s that word again, Cassad
\nElios, the Greek version of it, <\/p>\n
272
\n00:19:23,480 –> 00:19:27,720
\nin remembrance of his covenant
\nlove for us as he spoke to our <\/p>\n
273
\n00:19:27,720 –> 00:19:31,120
\nfathers, to Abraham, and to his
\nseed forever. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:19:32,120 –> 00:19:36,760
\nAnd so we see that Mary’s great
\nsong is structured around Cassad<\/p>\n
275
\n00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:43,200
\nin verse 46 to 49, God has said
\nsaves me. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:48,200
\nAnd verses 50 to 53, his
\ncovenant love turns things <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:52,240
\nupside down.
\nAnd lastly, there’s the <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:52,240 –> 00:19:56,760
\naffirmation that his covenant
\nlove is fulfilled in his <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:56,760 –> 00:20:03,880
\npromises now.
\nIn verse 51 to 53, he has shown <\/p>\n
280
\n00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:06,200
\nstrength of his arm.
\nHe has scattered the proud. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:20:06,360 –> 00:20:08,480
\nHe has put down the mighty from
\ntheir Thrones. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:20:08,680 –> 00:20:14,760
\nThe rich he has sent away empty.
\nSo we see that this is turning <\/p>\n
283
\n00:20:14,760 –> 00:20:18,920
\nthings upside down because we
\npray that God’s Kingdom will <\/p>\n
284
\n00:20:18,920 –> 00:20:22,000
\ncome and that His will will be
\ndone on earth as it is in <\/p>\n
285
\n00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:25,480
\nheaven.
\nYou know, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
286
\n00:20:26,240 –> 00:20:29,600
\nwe live in a time where where
\nthere is persecution going on <\/p>\n
287
\n00:20:29,880 –> 00:20:34,680
\nfor beliefs.
\nI’ve been persecuted for my <\/p>\n
288
\n00:20:34,680 –> 00:20:39,960
\nbeliefs at my job.
\nYou know, the one thing that I <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:43,880
\ndidn’t experience when I was
\npersecuted, I was not surprised.<\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:45,840 –> 00:20:50,040
\nI expected to be persecuted.
\nAnd the reason that we’re <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:50,040 –> 00:20:53,240
\npersecuted for our beliefs is
\nthat this is not our Kingdom. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:54,640 –> 00:20:57,680
\nWe look for a better Kingdom
\nnow. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:58,280 –> 00:21:02,120
\nPeople don’t like that, the fact
\nthat this isn’t the best <\/p>\n
294
\n00:21:02,120 –> 00:21:07,400
\npossible world.
\nWe see that Jesus took up these <\/p>\n
295
\n00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:11,520
\nsame themes in his address of
\nthe synagogue in Nazareth, <\/p>\n
296
\n00:21:11,640 –> 00:21:15,000
\nquoting Isaiah 61.
\nHe has sent me to heal the <\/p>\n
297
\n00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:17,480
\nbroken hearted, to proclaim
\nliberty to the captives and <\/p>\n
298
\n00:21:17,480 –> 00:21:21,080
\nrecovery of sight to the blind,
\nto set at liberty those who are <\/p>\n
299
\n00:21:21,080 –> 00:21:24,880
\noppressed.
\nAnd Mary could sit there and <\/p>\n
300
\n00:21:24,880 –> 00:21:27,000
\nwe’re going to talk about this,
\nGod willing, later in the week. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:27,880 –> 00:21:31,240
\nBut those are the echoes of her
\nsong, aren’t they? <\/p>\n
302
\n00:21:32,480 –> 00:21:36,600
\nAnd we saw, tragically, how the
\ninhabitants of the synagogue at <\/p>\n
303
\n00:21:36,600 –> 00:21:42,080
\nNazareth responded to that.
\nWe should not be surprised when <\/p>\n
304
\n00:21:42,080 –> 00:21:47,560
\nour focus on the things of God
\nresults in persecution. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:49,760 –> 00:21:53,280
\nYou know, Mary’s song tells us
\nthat this world is not her home,<\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:53,280 –> 00:21:56,960
\nand a better one is coming.
\nWe read in Philippians 3 For our<\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:56,960 –> 00:22:00,800
\ncitizenship is in heaven, from
\nwhich we also eagerly await, for<\/p>\n
308
\n00:22:00,800 –> 00:22:05,720
\nthe Savior, the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, and Hebrews 11 For those<\/p>\n
309
\n00:22:05,720 –> 00:22:09,120
\nwho say such things, declare
\nplainly that they seek a <\/p>\n
310
\n00:22:09,120 –> 00:22:11,920
\nhomeland.
\nAnd truly, if they had called to<\/p>\n
311
\n00:22:11,920 –> 00:22:14,480
\nmind that country from which
\nthey had come out, they would <\/p>\n
312
\n00:22:14,480 –> 00:22:16,160
\nhave had an opportunity to
\nreturn. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:22:16,800 –> 00:22:19,760
\nBut now they desire a better,
\nthat is, a heavenly country. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:22:20,440 –> 00:22:24,280
\nTherefore, God is not ashamed to
\nbe called their God, for He has <\/p>\n
315
\n00:22:24,280 –> 00:22:28,960
\nprepared a city for them.
\nAs we said yesterday, brothers <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:28,960 –> 00:22:33,960
\nand sisters, Mary viewed her
\nlife through the lens of God’s <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:33,960 –> 00:22:38,480
\nWord.
\nWe talked yesterday about the <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:38,480 –> 00:22:43,480
\nword dialogue, dialogue, zomai,
\nwhere we get our dialogue from <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:44,480 –> 00:22:47,000
\nand how that’s really the idea
\nof tossing things together in <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:47,000 –> 00:22:49,240
\nyour mind.
\nWhen she encounters the <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:49,240 –> 00:22:54,880
\nshepherd, there’s 2 words,
\nSanterio and zambalo, and then <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:54,960 –> 00:22:57,880
\nJesus at age 12.
\nAt age 12 it says that she <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:57,880 –> 00:23:00,160
\ntreasured, she kept these things
\nin her heart. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:23:01,200 –> 00:23:05,200
\nAnd there’s an interesting book
\nby Michael Packoluck called <\/p>\n
325
\n00:23:05,200 –> 00:23:07,000
\nMary’s Voice in the Gospel of
\nJohn. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:07,480 –> 00:23:11,560
\nAnd he writes the Greek words
\nthat Luke uses suggest that Mary<\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:11,560 –> 00:23:16,040
\nkept and guarded together.
\nThere’s that Greek word as in a <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:16,040 –> 00:23:20,280
\ncoherent story, the words that
\nshe heard and that she mulled <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:20,280 –> 00:23:22,960
\nthem over, pondering their
\ninterrelationship and <\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:22,960 –> 00:23:26,800
\nimplications, and that she was
\ncontinually active and thinking <\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:32,720
\nthem through.
\nAnd so we see that after Jesus <\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:32,720 –> 00:23:39,280
\nat Jesus command, Mary lived
\nwith John and so that Mary would<\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:39,280 –> 00:23:43,800
\nhave shared her spiritual
\nunderstanding with John. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:47,040 –> 00:23:52,960
\nWe see in John 19, when Jesus
\ntherefore saw his mother and the<\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:52,960 –> 00:23:57,000
\ndisciple whom he loves standing
\nby, he said to his mother, <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:00,280
\nwoman, behold your son.
\nAnd he said to the disciple, <\/p>\n
337
\n00:24:00,280 –> 00:24:03,840
\nbehold your mother.
\nAnd from that hour the disciple <\/p>\n
338
\n00:24:03,840 –> 00:24:07,720
\ntook her into his own home.
\nNow we’re going to see in a in a<\/p>\n
339
\n00:24:07,720 –> 00:24:11,040
\ncouple weeks that this is really
\na new sorry couple days. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:11,720 –> 00:24:19,360
\nThis is really a new Rachel in
\nit for a new covenant, but let’s<\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:19,360 –> 00:24:21,080
\ntake a look at the
\npracticalities of it. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:22,680 –> 00:24:25,320
\nWe think that that Mary was
\nJohn’s aunt. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:26,760 –> 00:24:30,360
\nWe think that because of the
\ncomparison of the accounts at <\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:30,360 –> 00:24:34,440
\nthe cross where we have Jesus,
\nmother’s sister, the mother of <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:34,440 –> 00:24:40,600
\nZebedee’s sons and Salome.
\nSo there was a familiar <\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:40,600 –> 00:24:43,360
\nrelationship, but it went
\ndeeper. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:45,040 –> 00:24:51,800
\nNow let’s take a look.
\nCan you imagine the Bible <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:51,800 –> 00:24:56,040
\nclasses at John’s home with
\nMary? <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:57,880 –> 00:25:00,880
\nCan you imagine the things that
\nthey talked about? <\/p>\n
350
\n00:25:02,520 –> 00:25:05,440
\nYou know, John never mentions
\nMary of Nazareth by name. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:10,320
\nWhat he does is he always refers
\nto her as the mother of Jesus. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:25:11,720 –> 00:25:14,360
\nAnd it’s, you know, here’s one
\nexample in John 19. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:25:14,800 –> 00:25:18,200
\nNow there stood by the cross of
\nJesus, his mother and his <\/p>\n
354
\n00:25:18,200 –> 00:25:22,040
\nmother’s sister, Mary, the wife
\nof Clopas, and Mary Magdalene, <\/p>\n
355
\n00:25:22,560 –> 00:25:30,560
\nalways the mother of Jesus.
\nCan you imagine what they would <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:30,560 –> 00:25:34,440
\nhave talked about?
\nCan you imagine the insights <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:34,520 –> 00:25:36,840
\nthat this deeply spiritual woman
\nwould have had? <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:38,880 –> 00:25:43,600
\nSo Mary had an unusual
\nexperience of conception. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:43,880 –> 00:25:47,480
\nIt was unique.
\nAnd one of the things that she <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:47,480 –> 00:25:54,080
\ndoes is that she, after thinking
\nabout that, she understands her <\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:54,080 –> 00:25:59,080
\nexperience and conception as a
\ntemplate for the spiritual <\/p>\n
362
\n00:25:59,080 –> 00:26:03,640
\ncreation of the new covenant.
\nAnd that understanding is <\/p>\n
363
\n00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:05,640
\ntransmitted through John’s
\nGospel. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:26:08,040 –> 00:26:11,600
\nMary thought about what happened
\nto her and understood it as a <\/p>\n
365
\n00:26:11,600 –> 00:26:15,160
\nparadigm for disciples moving
\nforward. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:26:17,160 –> 00:26:23,960
\nSo let’s take a look at that.
\nWe read that the power of the <\/p>\n
367
\n00:26:23,960 –> 00:26:29,120
\nhighest will over shadow you.
\nAnd that Greek word is <\/p>\n
368
\n00:26:29,280 –> 00:26:32,080
\nepicotzio.
\nIt’s used only four times in the<\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:32,080 –> 00:26:37,400
\nSeptuagint.
\nOK, so it’s used in in reference<\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:37,400 –> 00:26:41,800
\nto primarily two things.
\nWhat’s one thing overshadowing <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:41,800 –> 00:26:51,290
\nis used for?
\nWhat do you think? <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:53,170 –> 00:26:58,930
\nThere are no wrong answers?
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:27:02,130 –> 00:27:06,570
\nIn Exodus 40, then, the cloud
\ncovered the Tabernacle of <\/p>\n
374
\n00:27:06,570 –> 00:27:09,810
\nmeeting, and the glory of the
\nLord filled the Tabernacle. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:10,320 –> 00:27:13,480
\nAnd Moses was not able to enter
\nthe Tabernacle of meeting <\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:13,640 –> 00:27:17,240
\nbecause the cloud rested above
\nit, and the glory of the Lord <\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:17,240 –> 00:27:20,520
\nfilled the Tabernacle.
\nWhenever the cloud was taken up <\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:20,520 –> 00:27:23,920
\nfrom above the Tabernacle, the
\nchildren of Israel would go <\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:23,920 –> 00:27:27,600
\nonward in all their journeys.
\nBut if the cloud was not taken <\/p>\n
380
\n00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:30,080
\nup, and they did not journey
\ntill the day that it was taken <\/p>\n
381
\n00:27:30,080 –> 00:27:34,040
\nup, For the cloud of the Lord
\nwas above the Tabernacle by day,<\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:34,280 –> 00:27:37,960
\nand fire was over it by night in
\nthe sight of all the House of <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:37,960 –> 00:27:41,080
\nIsrael throughout all their
\njourneys. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:43,480 –> 00:27:48,360
\nSo it was used in that way.
\nAnd then paradoxically, it’s <\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:48,360 –> 00:27:56,160
\nused in this way to describe the
\nactions of a mother bird in <\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:56,160 –> 00:28:01,760
\nPsalm 91, starting verse one.
\nHe who dwells in the secret <\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:01,760 –> 00:28:05,200
\nplace of the Most High shall
\nabide under the shadow of the <\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:06,840
\nAlmighty.
\nHe shall cover. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:10,160
\nThere’s that word.
\nHe shall cover you with his <\/p>\n
390
\n00:28:10,160 –> 00:28:15,800
\nfeathers and under his wings you
\nshall take refuge. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:28:18,560 –> 00:28:21,600
\nNow it’s interesting that quote
\nthat we referred to brother <\/p>\n
392
\n00:28:21,600 –> 00:28:25,760
\nThomas and Opus Israel.
\nHe talks about not only the seed<\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:25,760 –> 00:28:29,520
\nof the woman, but he talks about
\nthe spirit overshadowing. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:30,800 –> 00:28:33,520
\nIt’s making that connection, and
\nwe’re going to see that this is <\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:33,520 –> 00:28:44,200
\na powerful connection.
\nSo the Word became flesh and did<\/p>\n
396
\n00:28:44,200 –> 00:28:50,280
\nTabernacle among us, and we
\nbeheld His glory, Glory as of an<\/p>\n
397
\n00:28:50,280 –> 00:28:54,000
\nonly begotten of a Father full
\nof grace and truth. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:28:56,880 –> 00:28:59,760
\nThe power of the highest will
\nover shadow you. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:29:00,520 –> 00:29:07,040
\nSo let’s make some connections.
\nExodus 40 and Moses have not <\/p>\n
400
\n00:29:07,040 –> 00:29:10,920
\nbeen able to go into the tent of
\nmeeting, for the cloud hath <\/p>\n
401
\n00:29:10,920 –> 00:29:15,840
\ntabernacled.
\nThere’s that word, and the honor<\/p>\n
402
\n00:29:15,840 –> 00:29:18,600
\nof Jehovah hath filled the
\nTabernacle. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:29:18,600 –> 00:29:25,120
\nThis is Young’s literal
\ntranslation, so you can see <\/p>\n
404
\n00:29:25,120 –> 00:29:29,320
\nMary’s voice coming through here
\nas she reflected on what it <\/p>\n
405
\n00:29:29,320 –> 00:29:32,880
\nmeant for her to conceive in
\nthis way. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:29:33,680 –> 00:29:35,960
\nBecause it’s kind of an
\ninteresting word choice, isn’t <\/p>\n
407
\n00:29:35,960 –> 00:29:38,320
\nit?
\nIn John 1 And the Word became <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:38,320 –> 00:29:41,320
\nflesh and did Tabernacle among
\nus. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:44,080 –> 00:29:48,040
\nSo clearly, I think Mary
\nunderstood that there was <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:48,240 –> 00:29:51,920
\nsomething new going on,
\nsomething that was foreshadowed <\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:51,920 –> 00:29:55,040
\nin the Old Testament, that there
\nwas made real in Christ. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:30:00,190 –> 00:30:03,710
\nThe power of the highest will
\nover shadow you. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:30:06,030 –> 00:30:09,310
\nIn the beginning was the Word,
\nand the Word was with God, and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:30:09,310 –> 00:30:12,750
\nthe Word was God.
\nHe was in the beginning with <\/p>\n
415
\n00:30:12,750 –> 00:30:16,470
\nGod.
\nOK, well we said it had to do <\/p>\n
416
\n00:30:16,470 –> 00:30:19,790
\nwith the Tabernacle, but we also
\nsaid it had to do with this <\/p>\n
417
\n00:30:21,320 –> 00:30:26,880
\nimage of this bird being very
\nprotective in Psalm 91. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:30:27,920 –> 00:30:31,480
\nHe who dwells in the secret
\nplace of the Most High shall <\/p>\n
419
\n00:30:31,480 –> 00:30:34,240
\nabide under the shadow of the
\nAlmighty. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:30:34,880 –> 00:30:38,440
\nHe shall cover you with His
\nfeathers, and under His wings <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:38,440 –> 00:30:42,880
\nyou shall take refuge.
\nNow brothers and sisters, we <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:42,880 –> 00:30:48,640
\nknow that there is this image at
\nthe start of creation, this idea<\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:48,640 –> 00:30:54,400
\nof hovering, this idea of of
\nalmost like a a mother bird <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:54,560 –> 00:30:56,840
\nhovering over the face of the
\nwaters. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:57,520 –> 00:31:01,800
\nWe read in Genesis 1 the earth
\nwas without form and void and <\/p>\n
426
\n00:31:01,800 –> 00:31:05,400
\ndarkness was over the face of
\nthe deep and the Spirit of God <\/p>\n
427
\n00:31:05,400 –> 00:31:10,080
\nwas hovering Hebrew Rahaf over
\nthe face of the waters. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:31:11,000 –> 00:31:16,240
\nAnd we read in Deuteronomy 32,
\nas an eagle stirs up its nest, <\/p>\n
429
\n00:31:16,960 –> 00:31:21,400
\ncovers over its young, spreading
\nout its wings, taking them up, <\/p>\n
430
\n00:31:21,760 –> 00:31:25,680
\ncarrying them on its wings.
\nSo here we see this word used in<\/p>\n
431
\n00:31:25,680 –> 00:31:29,000
\nGenesis 1, and then we see
\nexpanded upon is is. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:31:29,000 –> 00:31:32,800
\nYeah, there’s this metaphor of
\nthis protection that’s offered <\/p>\n
433
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:35,480
\nunder the wings of a mother
\nbird. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:39,080 –> 00:31:42,760
\nMary made that connection and
\nshared it with John. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:44,920 –> 00:31:48,400
\nAnd I thought that that was a
\nkeen spiritual insight that I <\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:50,960
\nhad made.
\nAnd then I found out that like <\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:50,960 –> 00:31:53,920
\nmany of my keen spiritual
\ninsights, someone else had made <\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:53,920 –> 00:32:00,080
\nit many decades before.
\nSo Brother Alfred Nichols in his<\/p>\n
439
\n00:32:00,080 –> 00:32:04,200
\nbook The Spirit of God talks
\nabout this, He says, and my <\/p>\n
440
\n00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:06,440
\napologies for the long quote,
\nbut I think it’s important to <\/p>\n
441
\n00:32:06,440 –> 00:32:10,880
\nget the context and it’s in the
\nchapter entitled The Spirit That<\/p>\n
442
\n00:32:10,880 –> 00:32:13,080
\nOvershadows.
\nWith the meaning. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:32:13,440 –> 00:32:17,520
\nTo Fletcher, hover or brood
\nover, the Word imparts a moral <\/p>\n
444
\n00:32:17,520 –> 00:32:20,040
\nquality, as it were, to God’s
\ncreative act. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:32:20,840 –> 00:32:23,840
\nThat is, it was not merely a
\ndisplay of His physical power, <\/p>\n
446
\n00:32:24,360 –> 00:32:29,040
\nbut the manifestation of His
\nmind and attributes as an eagle <\/p>\n
447
\n00:32:29,040 –> 00:32:32,120
\nthat stirreth up her nest, that
\nfluttereth over her young. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:32:32,320 –> 00:32:36,040
\nHe spread abroad his wings.
\nGod took them, He bare them on <\/p>\n
449
\n00:32:36,040 –> 00:32:38,200
\nHis opinions.
\nThe Lord alone will lead them, <\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:38,200 –> 00:32:39,920
\nand there is no strange God with
\nHim. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:40,760 –> 00:32:43,520
\nThe same loving Spirit of God
\nthrough which the world was <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:43,520 –> 00:32:46,280
\ncreated and filled, was the
\nmedium through which the Lord <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:46,280 –> 00:32:50,320
\nprotected His people when He
\nbare them on eagle’s wings and <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:50,320 –> 00:32:54,400
\nbrought them unto Himself.
\nSo when at the beginning of a <\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:54,400 –> 00:32:59,400
\nnew creation, the Holy Spirit
\ncame upon a virgin, then the <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:59,400 –> 00:33:03,360
\npower of the Highest
\novershadowed her, and a holy <\/p>\n
457
\n00:33:03,360 –> 00:33:07,560
\nthing was brought to life to
\nmanifest the grace, the truth <\/p>\n
458
\n00:33:08,040 –> 00:33:12,360
\nand glory of the Father.
\nSo let’s admit to. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:33:12,360 –> 00:33:15,720
\nYou that this is the result in
\nJohn’s Gospel of Mary thinking <\/p>\n
460
\n00:33:15,720 –> 00:33:19,280
\ndeeply about what happened to
\nher and understanding it’s a <\/p>\n
461
\n00:33:19,280 –> 00:33:22,120
\ntemplate for a new creation in
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:33:26,120 –> 00:33:33,200
\nWe know that that in every case,
\nthe idea of of of pregnancy and <\/p>\n
463
\n00:33:33,200 –> 00:33:38,960
\nconception is a is a wonder.
\nWe read in Ecclesiastes. 11 Just<\/p>\n
464
\n00:33:38,960 –> 00:33:41,240
\nas you do not understand the way
\nof the Spirit in the womb of a <\/p>\n
465
\n00:33:41,240 –> 00:33:44,720
\npregnant mother, so also you do
\nnot know what the God is doing <\/p>\n
466
\n00:33:44,720 –> 00:33:47,760
\nin everything he makes.
\nThe Spirit, the power of God, is<\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:47,760 –> 00:33:51,880
\nthe creator of all life and
\nincluding human life in the womb<\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:52,440 –> 00:33:55,200
\nand including the new creation
\nin Christ. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:57,120 –> 00:33:59,440
\nSo.
\nThe Holy Spirit will come upon <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:59,440 –> 00:34:01,520
\nyou, and the power of the
\nHighest will over shadow you. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:34:01,920 –> 00:34:06,680
\nTherefore also that Holy One who
\nis born will be called the Son <\/p>\n
472
\n00:34:07,040 –> 00:34:10,440
\nof God.
\nSo Mary’s son. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:34:10,480 –> 00:34:13,639
\nIs literally born of the Spirit
\nand born of God. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:34:14,639 –> 00:34:18,400
\nMetaphorically, these are
\nconcepts used exclusively in <\/p>\n
475
\n00:34:18,400 –> 00:34:23,600
\nJohn’s writings.
\nBorn of the Spirit. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:34:24,000 –> 00:34:27,400
\nWe recall the enlightening
\nconversation that Jesus had with<\/p>\n
477
\n00:34:27,400 –> 00:34:29,920
\nNicodemus.
\nJesus answered and said to him, <\/p>\n
478
\n00:34:29,920 –> 00:34:33,320
\nMost assuredly I say to you,
\nunless one is born again, he <\/p>\n
479
\n00:34:33,320 –> 00:34:36,600
\ncannot see the Kingdom of God.
\nMost assuredly I say to you, <\/p>\n
480
\n00:34:36,600 –> 00:34:40,440
\nunless one is born of the water
\nand the Spirit, he cannot enter <\/p>\n
481
\n00:34:40,440 –> 00:34:43,880
\nthe Kingdom of God and.
\nThis theme of being. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:43,880 –> 00:34:47,440
\nBorn of God just just doesn’t
\nhappen in the Gospel of John, it<\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:47,440 –> 00:34:54,199
\nhappens in his writings.
\nFirst John 3. 9. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:55,639 –> 00:34:58,480
\nWhoever has been born.
\nOf God does not sin. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:35:02,480 –> 00:35:06,000
\nBecause he has been.
\nBorn of God and in first John <\/p>\n
486
\n00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:08,440
\n47.
\nBeloved, let us love one <\/p>\n
487
\n00:35:08,440 –> 00:35:12,640
\nanother, for love is of God, and
\neveryone who loves is born of <\/p>\n
488
\n00:35:12,640 –> 00:35:17,440
\nGod and knows God.
\nFirst John 51. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:35:17,560 –> 00:35:21,320
\nWhoever believes that Jesus is
\nthe Christ is born of God and <\/p>\n
490
\n00:35:21,320 –> 00:35:24,400
\neveryone who loves him, who
\nbegot also loves him who is <\/p>\n
491
\n00:35:24,400 –> 00:35:29,640
\nbegotten of him.
\nAnd verse 5, verse 4, chapter 5.<\/p>\n
492
\n00:35:30,160 –> 00:35:32,960
\nFor whatever is born of God
\novercomes the world. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:35:32,960 –> 00:35:35,600
\nAnd this is the victory that has
\novercome the world, our faith. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:35:36,640 –> 00:35:41,640
\nAnd finally, first John 518 We
\nknow that whoever is born of God<\/p>\n
495
\n00:35:41,640 –> 00:35:45,560
\ndoes not sin, but he who has
\nbeen born of God keeps himself, <\/p>\n
496
\n00:35:45,560 –> 00:35:47,160
\nand the wicked 1 does not touch
\nhim. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:35:51,320 –> 00:35:52,480
\nSo I’ll.
\nSubmit to you that. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:35:52,480 –> 00:35:56,240
\nThat this understanding that
\nJohn puts forward is one that he<\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:56,240 –> 00:36:04,120
\nlearned from Mary in John 1.
\nWe read but. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:36:04,120 –> 00:36:08,600
\nAll who did receive Him, He gave
\nthem, the ones believing in His <\/p>\n
501
\n00:36:08,600 –> 00:36:12,560
\nname, the right to become the
\nchildren of God, who were born <\/p>\n
502
\n00:36:12,560 –> 00:36:16,360
\nnot of blood, nor of the will of
\nthe flesh, nor of the will of <\/p>\n
503
\n00:36:16,360 –> 00:36:19,160
\nhusband, but of God.
\nThis is from the disciples <\/p>\n
504
\n00:36:19,160 –> 00:36:22,840
\nlittle New Testament.
\nSo, Elizabeth. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:36:22,840 –> 00:36:26,000
\nEmphasizes that Mary believed
\nGod. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:36:26,760 –> 00:36:30,760
\nBlessed is she who believed that
\nwhat was promised would be <\/p>\n
507
\n00:36:30,760 –> 00:36:33,840
\naccomplished.
\nAnd unique in the human. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:36:33,840 –> 00:36:35,280
\nRace.
\nMary conceived a child <\/p>\n
509
\n00:36:35,280 –> 00:36:38,960
\nexclusively of God, not the will
\nof flesh, nor the will of the <\/p>\n
510
\n00:36:38,960 –> 00:36:41,280
\ntruth.
\nHusband Joseph. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:36:44,120 –> 00:36:46,720
\nAnd again.
\nI thought, well. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:46,720 –> 00:36:50,400
\nThis is a really cool.
\nSpiritual insight and. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:50,400 –> 00:36:52,400
\nThen I find.
\nYes, it is. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:52,760 –> 00:36:54,840
\nThat was developed much before
\nmy time. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:36:56,560 –> 00:36:59,360
\nSo brother John Mitchell makes.
\nThe same point he makes it in <\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:59,360 –> 00:37:04,400
\n1955, he says.
\nSo the birth of Christ himself <\/p>\n
517
\n00:37:04,400 –> 00:37:09,720
\nbecomes a beautiful parallel to
\nwhat takes place in a believer’s<\/p>\n
518
\n00:37:09,720 –> 00:37:12,680
\nheart.
\nAnd in all the strains. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:37:12,680 –> 00:37:15,920
\nAnd stresses of life wherever
\nand whenever the gospel is <\/p>\n
520
\n00:37:15,920 –> 00:37:18,680
\nobeyed.
\nThe Angel Gabriel came with a <\/p>\n
521
\n00:37:18,680 –> 00:37:22,120
\nmemorable message to Mary, when
\nhe said, The Holy Spirit shall <\/p>\n
522
\n00:37:22,120 –> 00:37:24,520
\ncome upon me, and the power of
\nthe Highest shall over shadow <\/p>\n
523
\n00:37:24,520 –> 00:37:27,000
\nthee.
\nTherefore also that holy thing <\/p>\n
524
\n00:37:27,000 –> 00:37:29,440
\nwhich shall be born of thee
\nshall be called the Son of God. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:33,760
\nTo which Mary replied, Behold
\nthe handmaid of the Lord, be it <\/p>\n
526
\n00:37:33,760 –> 00:37:37,840
\nunto me, according to thy word.
\nIf we wish, we can make our <\/p>\n
527
\n00:37:37,840 –> 00:37:40,440
\nminds.
\nThat is all our conscious being <\/p>\n
528
\n00:37:40,720 –> 00:37:45,200
\ninto the handmaid of the Lord.
\nSo, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:37:45,200 –> 00:37:49,040
\nI would submit that Mary took
\nher experience and understood it<\/p>\n
530
\n00:37:49,040 –> 00:37:55,800
\nin a profound way, a profound
\nway that is captured for us in <\/p>\n
531
\n00:37:55,800 –> 00:38:00,760
\nJohn’s writings.
\nBrother AD Norris. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:38:00,760 –> 00:38:03,800
\nTalks about this too.
\nHe says the Word became flesh <\/p>\n
533
\n00:38:03,800 –> 00:38:06,360
\nand dwelt among us, and we
\nbeheld his glory. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:38:06,600 –> 00:38:09,800
\nThe glory is of an only begotten
\nof the Father, full of grace and<\/p>\n
535
\n00:38:09,800 –> 00:38:14,400
\ntruth.
\nSo runs John’s parallel to the <\/p>\n
536
\n00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:17,720
\nAnnunciation in Luke.
\nFor the nurse is saying that <\/p>\n
537
\n00:38:17,920 –> 00:38:20,320
\nthat there are these two things
\nrunning in parallel. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:38:20,760 –> 00:38:23,080
\nAnd of course, they’re running
\nin parallel because Mary would <\/p>\n
539
\n00:38:23,080 –> 00:38:25,840
\nhave shared her experience and
\nher thoughtfulness with John. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:38:27,560 –> 00:38:30,400
\nWhere word?
\nStands parallel with Holy Spirit<\/p>\n
541
\n00:38:30,400 –> 00:38:32,480
\nand flesh.
\nStands for that which the Lord <\/p>\n
542
\n00:38:32,480 –> 00:38:36,120
\nreceived by His birth of Mary.
\nThe two stand together. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:38:37,360 –> 00:38:40,040
\nThe two stand together also run
\nparallel with the passages and <\/p>\n
544
\n00:38:40,040 –> 00:38:43,360
\nthe letter to the Galatians in
\nwhich God sent forth his Son, <\/p>\n
545
\n00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:46,480
\nmade of a woman, made under the
\nlaw and. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:38:50,400 –> 00:38:52,320
\nOf course in the.
\nBeginning was the word. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:54,040 –> 00:38:55,120
\nAnd the new?
\nCreation. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:55,120 –> 00:38:56,800
\nRight.
\nTherefore, if anyone is in <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:56,800 –> 00:39:00,280
\nChrist, he is a new creation.
\nAll things have passed away. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:39:00,480 –> 00:39:02,360
\nBehold, all things have become
\nnew. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:39:03,920 –> 00:39:05,480
\nAnd as we read in.
\nGalatians 6. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:39:05,480 –> 00:39:08,920
\nThe only thing that counts is a
\nnew creation. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:39:11,280 –> 00:39:14,320
\nSo.
\nMary’s voice, she sings with <\/p>\n
554
\n00:39:14,320 –> 00:39:18,840
\nElizabeth, she chastises Jesus.
\nWe’ll see that in a that our <\/p>\n
555
\n00:39:18,840 –> 00:39:22,280
\nnext day engages Jesus in
\nproblem solving and the wedding <\/p>\n
556
\n00:39:22,280 –> 00:39:25,480
\nat Cana.
\nAnd she also uses her voice to <\/p>\n
557
\n00:39:25,480 –> 00:39:33,360
\nshare her experience with John.
\nAnd he captures that for us, you<\/p>\n
558
\n00:39:33,360 –> 00:39:36,520
\nknow?
\nAny impactful? <\/p>\n
559
\n00:39:36,520 –> 00:39:43,520
\nVoice understands the power of
\nsilence this is recorded for us <\/p>\n
560
\n00:39:43,600 –> 00:39:46,000
\nin divine wisdom and
\nEcclesiastes to everything there<\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:46,000 –> 00:39:50,200
\nis a season, a time for every
\npurpose under heaven, a time to <\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:50,200 –> 00:39:55,120
\nkeep silence, and a time to
\nspeak so any discussion of <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:55,120 –> 00:39:58,920
\nMary’s voice would be remiss if.
\nWe did not talk. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:58,920 –> 00:40:07,400
\nAbout her silence.
\nMary was silent. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:40:07,880 –> 00:40:10,800
\nFrom the record when Joseph
\nsought to divorce her. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:40:10,800 –> 00:40:13,240
\nWe’re going to talk about that,
\nGod willing, tomorrow. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:40:15,200 –> 00:40:18,840
\nShe was silent.
\nWhen the children of Bethlehem <\/p>\n
568
\n00:40:18,840 –> 00:40:22,240
\nwere murdered.
\nWhen the children of her friends<\/p>\n
569
\n00:40:22,520 –> 00:40:27,720
\nthat she knew were murdered.
\nWe know that she. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:40:27,720 –> 00:40:32,760
\nMourned like Rachel, but she.
\nWas silent. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:40:33,840 –> 00:40:36,920
\nShe was silent when her friends
\nand Nazareth sought to kill her <\/p>\n
572
\n00:40:36,920 –> 00:40:41,680
\nson, throwing him off the Cliff.
\nShe was silent when? <\/p>\n
573
\n00:40:41,760 –> 00:40:47,400
\nJesus refused to see her when he
\nsaid, whoever does the will of <\/p>\n
574
\n00:40:47,400 –> 00:40:50,520
\nmy Father in heaven is my
\nbrother and my mother. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:40:52,080 –> 00:40:54,760
\nAnd she’s silent when she.
\nSees Jesus on the cross. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:40:56,960 –> 00:40:59,520
\nSo.
\nFrom that we take that that <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:59,520 –> 00:41:07,120
\nsometimes.
\nOur voice is really focused. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:41:07,120 –> 00:41:10,040
\nInternally and it’s.
\nFocused. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:41:10,080 –> 00:41:15,880
\nIn prayer towards God.
\nMary’s silence. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:41:15,880 –> 00:41:20,120
\nIs profound because it speaks to
\nher incredible faith. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:41:21,840 –> 00:41:25,480
\nAnd it foreshadows.
\nSomething that her son did in a <\/p>\n
582
\n00:41:25,480 –> 00:41:27,800
\nperfect way.
\nWe. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:41:27,800 –> 00:41:31,840
\nRead in Isaiah 50. 37 he was.
\nOppressed. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:41:32,440 –> 00:41:35,480
\nAnd he was afflicted, yet he
\nopened not his mouth. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:41:35,760 –> 00:41:39,240
\nHe was led as a lamb to the
\nslaughter, and as a sheep before<\/p>\n
586
\n00:41:39,240 –> 00:41:42,640
\nits shears.
\nHis silent, so he opened not his<\/p>\n
587
\n00:41:42,640 –> 00:41:46,680
\nmouth.
\nLike all wise. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:41:46,680 –> 00:41:49,280
\nPeople.
\nMary knew when to speak. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:41:50,400 –> 00:41:53,280
\nAnd when to be silent?
\nAnd to trust God. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:41:55,800 –> 00:42:01,720
\nSo Mary’s voice and her silence
\nprovides a foundation for all <\/p>\n
591
\n00:42:01,720 –> 00:42:05,040
\ndisciples.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:42:05,320 –> 00:42:10,280
\nHer first statement and her last
\nrecorded statement are all we <\/p>\n
593
\n00:42:10,280 –> 00:42:13,520
\nneed.
\nWe start by saying. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:42:13,520 –> 00:42:17,680
\nBehold, the slave of the Lord,
\nlet it be unto me according to <\/p>\n
595
\n00:42:17,680 –> 00:42:21,000
\nyour word.
\nThat’s all we need to. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:42:21,000 –> 00:42:23,280
\nKnow about our relationship with
\nGod. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:42:23,880 –> 00:42:27,480
\nThat’s all we need to know about
\nwhat’s expected of us as <\/p>\n
598
\n00:42:27,480 –> 00:42:30,680
\nservants.
\nAnd then her last. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:42:30,680 –> 00:42:34,360
\nRecorded statement is whatever
\nhe says to you, do it. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:42:38,760 –> 00:42:42,760
\nThat’s it, isn’t it?
\nWhatever Christ commands us to <\/p>\n
601
\n00:42:42,760 –> 00:42:51,280
\ndo, we do You know the document
\nthat we use in our community? <\/p>\n
602
\n00:42:52,520 –> 00:42:53,640
\nWe.
\nSpend a lot of time. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:42:53,640 –> 00:42:57,720
\nWrangling about the doctrinal
\nstatements. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:42:58,800 –> 00:43:00,720
\nBut there’s another part of the
\ndocument, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
605
\n00:43:00,720 –> 00:43:04,600
\nNot the doctrines to be
\nrejected, but the commandments <\/p>\n
606
\n00:43:04,600 –> 00:43:10,720
\nof Christ.
\nWhatever he says to you, do it. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:43:15,120 –> 00:43:18,960
\nAnd lastly, her.
\nSilence at the. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:43:18,960 –> 00:43:22,320
\nFoot of the cross.
\nWhen he said woman. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:43:22,960 –> 00:43:25,640
\nBehold your son, that new
\nconnection that he made with <\/p>\n
610
\n00:43:25,640 –> 00:43:28,520
\nJohn.
\nAnd so she she. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:43:28,520 –> 00:43:31,840
\nTeaches us, doesn’t she, that
\nsometimes what God requires of <\/p>\n
612
\n00:43:31,840 –> 00:43:40,160
\nus is to trust and endure in
\nsilence, knowing, believing in <\/p>\n
613
\n00:43:40,160 –> 00:43:45,240
\nGod’s case head, in His covenant
\nlove, that He has not forgotten <\/p>\n
614
\n00:43:45,240 –> 00:43:48,880
\nus, that He will never fail or
\nforsake us? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:43:51,040 –> 00:43:55,800
\nAs Mary’s great.
\nSong proclaims to Abraham, and <\/p>\n
