Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 398.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:10,720
\n2022.
\nOur third class will commence. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:11,800 –> 00:00:15,920
\nOur third speaker this morning
\nis Brother Dennis Bevans from <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:15,920 –> 00:00:20,400
\nthe Austin Leander Ecclesia in
\nTexas. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:21,080 –> 00:00:26,760
\nThe theme for Brother Dennis’s
\nclass this week is Noah Saving <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:26,760 –> 00:00:33,240
\nYour Family in a Dark World.
\nToday’s class is entitled All <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:33,240 –> 00:00:38,640
\nThat God Commanded Him.
\nGenesis chapter 6 verse 10 to <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:38,640 –> 00:00:42,400
\n22.
\nI get to open with a confession.<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:42,400 –> 00:00:45,680
\nI mean, Jason started this so
\nit’s his fault, but I have a <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:45,680 –> 00:00:48,280
\nmuch more recent infraction to
\nconfess. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:49,160 –> 00:00:53,160
\nYesterday I said we would solve
\nthe math dilemma by the end of <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:53,160 –> 00:00:54,920
\nthe day.
\nAnd those of you that were <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,920 –> 00:00:57,920
\nwaiting for some magical
\ninformation to happen during the<\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,920 –> 00:01:03,480
\nday, sorry if that would, if
\nthis was a study weekend, you <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:03,480 –> 00:01:05,760
\nwould have got it by the end of
\nthe day, but it’s not, which <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:05,760 –> 00:01:08,040
\nmeans you get it the next day.
\nSo we’re going to open with the <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:08,040 –> 00:01:10,440
\nmath solution.
\nSo those of you that have really<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:10,440 –> 00:01:14,640
\nhad trouble since I said that,
\nI’m hoping to earn the relief <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:14,640 –> 00:01:18,040
\nright now.
\nWe’ll pick up where we left off.<\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:18,640 –> 00:01:21,800
\nAnd we left off with Noah
\nfinding grace in the eyes of the<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:21,800 –> 00:01:24,480
\nLord.
\nWe see he was given a warning of<\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:27,000
\n120 years.
\nWhat was going to happen? <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:27,560 –> 00:01:33,240
\nAnd that he had three kids
\nmentioned by name at age 500. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:33,600 –> 00:01:37,080
\nSo that’s the little math lesson
\nwe’re going to talk about right <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:37,080 –> 00:01:43,600
\nnow.
\nVerse 10, Noah begat three sons,<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:46,600
\nShem, Ham and Japheth.
\nSo let’s add a few details to <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:46,600 –> 00:01:49,960
\nthis.
\nShem, his name means name or <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:49,960 –> 00:01:52,160
\nrenown.
\nWe saw that in verse 4. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:52,160 –> 00:01:59,520
\nSo Shem, the name Hem means hot
\nor desert, and Japheth is open <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:59,520 –> 00:02:04,800
\nor expanded.
\nChapter 10 verse 21 tells us he <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:04,800 –> 00:02:08,320
\nwas the oldest of the three.
\nSo the oldest of these three is <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:08,320 –> 00:02:12,160
\nJapheth.
\nAnd that Chapter 11 verse 10 <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:12,160 –> 00:02:17,520
\ntells us Shem was two years
\nyounger, which makes him 98 when<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:17,520 –> 00:02:21,600
\nthe flood happened.
\nSo our note from chapter 5 verse<\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:26,320
\n32, because he’s 500 years old.
\nSo let’s put some math to work <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:27,480 –> 00:02:31,840
\nin Chapter 7, verse 6, which
\nwe’ll talk about more tomorrow. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:32,960 –> 00:02:37,920
\nHe’s 600 years old when the
\nflood happens, so we’ll talk <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:37,920 –> 00:02:40,800
\nmore about that tomorrow.
\nBut today we’re going to focus <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:40,800 –> 00:02:43,480
\non the math.
\nHow many years of warning? <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:44,840 –> 00:02:53,200
\n120.
\nWhat is 600 -, 120, 480 How old <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:53,200 –> 00:02:57,640
\nwere was the oldest of the three
\nchildren when they got on the <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:57,640 –> 00:03:04,280
\nark?
\n100 So Japheth is 100, Shem is <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:04,280 –> 00:03:09,280
\n98, Hem is somewhere thereafter.
\nSo they’ve got 120 years of <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:17,280
\nwarning, which means 20 years
\nafter they were told by God <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:17,760 –> 00:03:19,920
\nwe’re going to destroy this
\nplanet. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:25,920
\nThey looked at each other with
\nloving eyes and said, honey, the<\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:25,920 –> 00:03:29,280
\nworld’s a mess.
\nThe ecclesia is gone. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:30,480 –> 00:03:32,440
\nGod’s going to wipe it all
\nclean. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:33,320 –> 00:03:35,280
\nLet’s make some children, shall
\nwe? <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:36,600 –> 00:03:38,680
\nNow I want you to put that in
\nperspective. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:38,680 –> 00:03:42,840
\nThis is the last days and the
\nthought of raising children in a<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:42,840 –> 00:03:48,240
\nviolent, godless place was what
\nwas happening in their life. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:49,520 –> 00:03:53,480
\nThis is a very dramatic detail
\nin the story we’re going to look<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:53,480 –> 00:03:54,680
\nat.
\nSo we’re going to have some fun.<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:54,680 –> 00:03:58,520
\nBut there’s a very serious
\nundertone at the beginning of <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:58,520 –> 00:04:06,600
\nthis class, and that is, if they
\nhad children after they were <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:06,600 –> 00:04:11,800
\ntold that, and she’s not noted
\nas barren, is it possible they <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:11,800 –> 00:04:15,200
\nhad other children before the
\nthree that went on the arc? <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:20,279
\nI will argue it’s not only
\npossible, it is likely. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:22,360 –> 00:04:25,800
\nNow have you ever wondered why
\nMissus Noah’s not mentioned in <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:25,800 –> 00:04:28,880
\nthis story?
\nEver wondered why is she not <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:28,880 –> 00:04:30,480
\nmentioned?
\nShe deserves to be mentioned. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:31,120 –> 00:04:34,160
\nWell, the root of that goes back
\nto Genesis chapter 5. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:39,600
\nIn Genesis chapter 5, the 1st 2
\nverses of the book of Death, <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:39,600 –> 00:04:42,080
\nbecause this one ends with and
\nhe died and he died and he died <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:42,080 –> 00:04:45,320
\nand he died.
\nSo everybody in here dies the <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:45,320 –> 00:04:49,000
\nbook of the generation of Adam,
\nwhich makes sense as an Adam, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:50,880
\nall men die.
\nSo we’ve got a good warm up. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:52,120 –> 00:04:56,040
\nThe day that God created man in
\nthe likeness of God made he him <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:56,040 –> 00:05:01,840
\nmale and female created he them,
\nhe blessed them and called their<\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:01,920 –> 00:05:04,520
\nname Adam in the day they were
\ncreated. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:05,800 –> 00:05:09,440
\nThe first genealogy in Scripture
\nmakes this point for us and <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:09,440 –> 00:05:10,920
\nwe’re going to carry it
\nthroughout the rest of the <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:10,920 –> 00:05:15,080
\nBible.
\nIn the naming of the husband, we<\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:15,080 –> 00:05:19,160
\nhave the naming of the union as
\nthese two have become one <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:19,520 –> 00:05:24,000
\ncalling their name.
\nAdam tells us when we read about<\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:31,400
\nNoah, it is not Noah the loan
\nshark, it’s Noah and his wife <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:31,920 –> 00:05:36,760
\nembedded together in the story.
\nWe’re going to talk more about <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:36,760 –> 00:05:40,120
\ntheir story and how it relates
\nto genealogy is at the end of <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:40,120 –> 00:05:41,760
\nthis class when we get to
\nMatthew 1. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:41,760 –> 00:05:43,280
\nSo we’ll hold that thought for a
\nminute. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:44,480 –> 00:05:50,560
\nBut this faithful couple who’d
\nbeen married for a few 100 years<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:52,040 –> 00:05:57,440
\ndecided to have children when
\nthey had no doubt that God was <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:57,440 –> 00:05:59,680
\ngoing to destroy the planet they
\nwere having these children on. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:01,120 –> 00:06:03,040
\nNow, how many people were saved
\non the Ark? <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:03,760 –> 00:06:08,640
\n8, the oldest of which would
\nhave been 100. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:09,440 –> 00:06:13,640
\nWell, let’s look at how long it
\ntook people to have children in <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:13,640 –> 00:06:17,640
\nGenesis chapter 5.
\nAdam’s 130, before we have the <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:17,640 –> 00:06:22,560
\nname, before we have Seth.
\nWe know we had other children <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:22,560 –> 00:06:24,440
\nbefore then, Cain and Abel at
\nleast. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:24,440 –> 00:06:27,440
\nBut these guys all got married.
\nGirls had to be somewhere. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:27,600 –> 00:06:30,800
\nSo we know they had other
\nchildren, but the one mentioned <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:35,720
\nin the genealogy was at 130.
\nThen we have Seth, who’s 105 <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:36,760 –> 00:06:44,120
\nwhen he has E Nos 90, has Kanan,
\n70, Mahalil 65, Jared 162. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:44,320 –> 00:06:46,120
\nSo he’s the one that was the
\nslow starter. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:47,240 –> 00:06:49,800
\nEnoch at 65.
\nNow we’re going the right way <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:49,800 –> 00:06:52,520
\nagain.
\nMethuselah, 187, he’s trying to <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:52,520 –> 00:06:55,600
\ntop Jared.
\nAnd then we have Lamech, who’s <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:58,960
\n182.
\nSo let’s put that in <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:58,960 –> 00:07:01,200
\nperspective.
\nThey all had sons and daughters.<\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:01,200 –> 00:07:03,880
\nIn fact, we know Seth had at
\nleast two other older brothers. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:04,280 –> 00:07:08,880
\nSo if Noah’s 500, that makes him
\nalmost three times as long as it<\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:08,880 –> 00:07:12,800
\ntook Lamech or Methuselah to
\nhave the named child in the <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:17,440
\ngenealogy and almost 8 times as
\nlong as it took Enoch <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:18,880 –> 00:07:23,280
\ntranslation.
\nNoah and Mrs. Noah likely had <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:23,280 –> 00:07:28,520
\nother children, possibly
\ngrandchildren, great <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:28,520 –> 00:07:33,680
\ngrandchildren, great great
\ngrandchildren for sure. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:33,680 –> 00:07:38,400
\nThey had aunts, uncles,
\nbrothers, sisters, lots of <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:38,400 –> 00:07:41,880
\ncousins.
\nSo when we talk about them <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:41,880 –> 00:07:46,720
\nsaving their family in the
\ndarkness of the world, this is <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:46,720 –> 00:07:48,600
\nwhere it gets very somber for
\nus. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:48,920 –> 00:07:53,200
\nNot only do they know what it
\ntakes to rescue their children <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:53,200 –> 00:07:57,720
\nfrom the world, but they
\nintimately know what it’s like <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:57,720 –> 00:08:01,880
\nto lose them to the world.
\nIf you have ever felt alone, <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:01,880 –> 00:08:04,480
\nwhen you look at your children
\nand your grandchildren, think, <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:10,120
\nhow could the world suck this
\nprecious life away from me and <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:14,200
\ntake it away from the Father?
\nAnd we long for them to see the <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:14,200 –> 00:08:17,520
\nthings of God and come back as a
\nparent should. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:18,200 –> 00:08:20,240
\nAnd we feel alone in that
\naspect. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:20,600 –> 00:08:23,640
\nAnd we don’t have to go any
\nfarther than Noah and misses <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:23,640 –> 00:08:29,680
\nNoah to know it is absolutely
\nunderstood how you feel because <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:29,680 –> 00:08:32,799
\nyou are not alone.
\nIt’s been this way for thousands<\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:36,880
\nof years.
\nImagine hearing the taunts of <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:41,440
\ntheir own children, friends,
\nfamily, neighbors while <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:41,440 –> 00:08:45,800
\npreaching repentance.
\nAnd then for a moment imagine <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:45,800 –> 00:08:48,720
\ntheir cries for help as they
\ndrown in the waters of judgment.<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:48,720 –> 00:08:53,160
\nIt becomes a very different
\ntopic when we look at we don’t <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:53,160 –> 00:08:55,720
\ntell our children this in the
\nSunday school songs. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:56,280 –> 00:09:01,040
\nJust probably a good thing, but
\nfrom an adult perspective what <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:01,040 –> 00:09:04,920
\nthey were asked to do.
\nThe hard part was not building a<\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:04,920 –> 00:09:08,640
\nboat.
\nThe hard part was walking away <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:11,240
\nfrom the family that had no
\ninterest in the things of God. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:14,320
\nWe are not alone in our
\nstruggle. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:14,520 –> 00:09:17,800
\nThe scripture is loaded with
\nexamples to show us that others <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:17,800 –> 00:09:21,080
\nhave gone through what we are
\nthat we can be related to in <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:21,080 –> 00:09:23,920
\nscripture.
\nAnd there are a lot of them that<\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:23,920 –> 00:09:26,440
\nare quite easy to see, but I
\nwould argue none may be as <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:26,440 –> 00:09:30,720
\nprofound as this one.
\nNow our topic by its very tone <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:34,720
\ntakes on a somber tone itself
\njust by its nature. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:35,920 –> 00:09:38,640
\nBut there is a a good piece to
\nthis too. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:43,080
\nThe struggle before the glory or
\na New Testament turns the cross <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:43,080 –> 00:09:45,880
\nbefore the crown.
\nSo we get to see the glory, <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:45,880 –> 00:09:49,720
\nwhich is where we want to focus.
\nBut before that glory, there is <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:49,720 –> 00:09:55,720
\ntragedy.
\nOK, so chapter 6, verse 11, the <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:55,720 –> 00:09:58,920
\nearth was corrupt before God and
\nwas filled with violence. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:02,400
\nSo again, this is the world we
\nwant to have live it, we want to<\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:04,560
\nhave children in.
\nIt’s corrupt, it’s violent, <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:04,560 –> 00:10:07,720
\nthere’s zero ecclesia.
\nLet’s make some children. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:08,040 –> 00:10:11,800
\nI love that thought.
\nSo the word corrupt is the same <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:14,520
\nword that’s going to be
\ntranslated destroy in verse 13 <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:14,520 –> 00:10:18,360
\nand verse 17 in this chapter.
\nSo the earth now has been <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:18,560 –> 00:10:25,400
\ndestroyed before God.
\nThis means in Hebrew spoil or <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:27,800
\nruin.
\nSo really literally the earth is<\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:32,040
\nspoiled now.
\nThis is not soil contamination. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:32,760 –> 00:10:36,400
\nThis is the flesh running wild
\nas the planet and its <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:36,400 –> 00:10:39,040
\ninhabitants have chosen to
\nfollow. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:39,040 –> 00:10:41,360
\nThe less of the flesh, the less
\nof the eyes and the pride of <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:41,360 –> 00:10:46,800
\nlife rather than the way of God.
\nIt’s an immoral population that <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:50,880
\nGod has inspected and judged.
\nThis is not an environmental <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:54,080
\nstudy.
\nGod looked upon the earth. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:54,080 –> 00:10:59,840
\nBehold, it was corrupt and all
\nflesh had corrupted his way upon<\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:59,840 –> 00:11:03,040
\nthe earth.
\nAnd there is the point his way <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:04,160 –> 00:11:06,360
\ngoing God’s way.
\nHere is the path that leads to <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:06,360 –> 00:11:08,800
\nlife.
\nAnd we’re told Noah walked God’s<\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:08,800 –> 00:11:12,880
\nway.
\nBut then they’ve chosen their <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:12,880 –> 00:11:16,000
\nown way, a way that was better,
\na way that might have matched <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:16,160 –> 00:11:18,480
\nwhat they would term is modern
\nsensibility. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:18,480 –> 00:11:22,160
\nIt it fit in better with the
\nthinking of the age, but it was <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:22,160 –> 00:11:26,320
\nnot God’s direct path and
\ntherefore it LED to death. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:28,160 –> 00:11:31,360
\nSurrender and control are very
\ndifficult things for human <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:31,360 –> 00:11:33,560
\nnature.
\nAnd this is not just for us. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:33,560 –> 00:11:37,120
\nOur Lord Jesus struggled with
\nthis too in his prayer in <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:37,120 –> 00:11:40,040
\nGethsemane.
\nHe was praying that God give him<\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:40,040 –> 00:11:44,360
\nthe strength to endure something
\nhe didn’t want to go through. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:44,960 –> 00:11:47,040
\nFather, if there’s any, I’ll
\nparaphrase. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:47,040 –> 00:11:52,600
\nIf there’s any other way to make
\nthis happen, I’d like that route<\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:52,800 –> 00:12:01,080
\nbecause I know what this one is,
\nshameful, painful, but if <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:01,080 –> 00:12:03,840
\nthere’s no other way, I’ll do it
\nyour way. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:04,600 –> 00:12:08,680
\nEven Jesus had that struggle.
\nSo for us to not recognize it’s <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:08,680 –> 00:12:13,040
\na problem for us, we have to be
\ncareful because we want to have <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:13,040 –> 00:12:15,600
\ncontrol.
\nWe want to control the dictate <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:15,600 –> 00:12:19,120
\nthe terms of our life.
\nThat’s not how our God works. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:22,080
\nHe’s given us an opportunity to
\nbe part of His glory, but His <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:22,080 –> 00:12:26,640
\nglory is going to happen with or
\nwithout all of us doing things <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:28,880
\nGod’s way gives us an access to
\nthat glory. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:34,320
\nSurrendering what we think is
\nright to do what God thinks is <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:38,920
\nright is hard for our nature.
\nIt’s so much easier to convince <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:38,920 –> 00:12:40,680
\nourselves we’re right and God’s
\non our side. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:40,680 –> 00:12:42,680
\nYou probably don’t have any
\ntrouble doing that. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:42,680 –> 00:12:44,920
\nI don’t.
\nWe got to hit the pause button <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:44,920 –> 00:12:49,640
\nand say, wait a minute, is this
\nDennis’s way or is this God’s <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:49,640 –> 00:12:52,920
\nway?
\nWell, they had corrupted their <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:52,920 –> 00:12:55,400
\nway and this goes back to
\nGenesis chapter 3. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:55,720 –> 00:12:58,560
\nHe drove out the man placed in
\nthe east of the Garden of Eden, <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:58,560 –> 00:13:02,640
\nCaribbean and a flaming sword
\nturned every way to keep the way<\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:02,840 –> 00:13:07,720
\nto the tree of life.
\nAccess was denied when they <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:07,720 –> 00:13:12,760
\nfollowed the flesh, access
\ninvited, if they followed God’s <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:14,560
\nway.
\nThis comes up again in <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:14,560 –> 00:13:17,560
\nRevelation verse 11 a Chapter
\n11, verse 18. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:17,560 –> 00:13:20,840
\nThe nations were angry.
\nThy wrath has come, the time of <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:20,840 –> 00:13:23,240
\nthe dead, that they should be
\njudged, judged. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:27,160
\nThat’s nice that thou should US
\ngive reward unto thy servants, <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:27,160 –> 00:13:30,200
\nthe prophets, and to the Saints
\nand them that fear the name, Thy<\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:35,000
\nname small and great, and should
\nUS destroy them that destroy the<\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:35,040 –> 00:13:37,320
\nearth, and we compare it to our
\nday. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:37,320 –> 00:13:41,320
\nWhat’s destroying the earth now?
\nIt’s not pollutants. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:41,320 –> 00:13:45,000
\nIt’s not.
\nWas it light pollution? <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:45,720 –> 00:13:48,600
\nFood.
\nIt’s not water pollution. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:51,600
\nIt’s not trash.
\nWhat’s destroying the earth <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:51,600 –> 00:13:56,480
\ntoday is the human beings on it
\nthat have lost an interest in <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:56,480 –> 00:13:58,960
\ndoing things God’s way.
\nThey’ve left God out is the <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:58,960 –> 00:14:02,080
\nmissing ingredient and as a
\nresult have corrupted the land. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:07,000
\nNow, this verse is popularly
\nused to talk about taking care <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,040
\nof the planet in an
\nenvironmental manner, and it’s <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:09,040 –> 00:14:11,320
\ntotally out of context.
\nI’m not saying it’s a bad thing <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:11,320 –> 00:14:12,920
\nto save the planet, recycle
\nstuff. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:12,920 –> 00:14:14,520
\nThat’s not bad.
\nI’m not saying it’s a bad thing.<\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:16,120
\nThat is not what the Bible is
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:16,960 –> 00:14:19,080
\nOh, sorry, I looked thirsty.
\nI have a little one here, <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:19,080 –> 00:14:20,280
\nthough.
\nI love you, honey. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:20,280 –> 00:14:23,000
\nThank you.
\nI can’t not do it. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:31,080
\nShe brought it to me.
\nAll right, so not bad idea to <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:31,080 –> 00:14:33,360
\ntake care of the planet.
\nFine, I’m nothing, nothing wrong<\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:33,360 –> 00:14:35,000
\nwith that.
\nBut the most dangerous <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:35,000 –> 00:14:38,000
\nenvironmental contaminant on the
\nEarth today is a population <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:38,000 –> 00:14:41,560
\npleasing itself.
\nNow bringing it to our day, <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:41,800 –> 00:14:45,720
\nlet’s add a few things like
\nlet’s give them isolation and <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:45,720 –> 00:14:48,480
\nlet’s only funnel news that
\nmatches what they think because <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:48,480 –> 00:14:51,440
\nthat’s what your phone does.
\nBy the way, you notice that all <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:51,440 –> 00:14:54,480
\nthe stuff you get on your phone
\nhas got already got a filter, so<\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:54,480 –> 00:14:57,440
\nyou’re only getting information
\nthat matches what you would like<\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:57,440 –> 00:15:00,400
\nto see.
\nSo you’re isolated in your own <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:00,400 –> 00:15:02,760
\nthinking, supporting your own
\nthinking, and you’re wondering <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:02,960 –> 00:15:06,840
\nwhose path am I on?
\nThe path of my thinking or the <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:06,840 –> 00:15:09,040
\npath of God’s thinking?
\nBecause if we’re not <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:09,040 –> 00:15:12,920
\nintentionally trying to override
\nthat, we are following the <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:12,920 –> 00:15:15,200
\nthinking of our own flesh and
\ngetting all the support we need <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:17,280
\nto do it.
\nEvery news article, every <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:17,280 –> 00:15:18,800
\nadvertisement.
\nYou ever noticed that? <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:20,400
\nIt’s not really a mystery to
\nmost of you. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:20,720 –> 00:15:22,840
\nMaybe I’m slow, but you’re on
\nyour phone. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:22,920 –> 00:15:24,240
\nYou might be looking something
\nup. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:24,320 –> 00:15:26,200
\nMaybe you’re shopping for shoes,
\nI don’t know. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:26,920 –> 00:15:29,960
\nBut then amazingly, you get a
\nrandom e-mail from somebody that<\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:30,160 –> 00:15:33,640
\ntalks about a shoe sale and then
\nyou start checking a sports <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:33,640 –> 00:15:36,440
\nscore and by the way, there’s a
\nshoe sale going. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:36,800 –> 00:15:41,360
\nDoes that happen to everybody?
\nIt’s not magic, it’s by design. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:41,360 –> 00:15:44,840
\nThe world is trying to penetrate
\nyour thoughts, to steer you the <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:44,840 –> 00:15:48,680
\ndirection of self pleasure and
\nit’s going to work. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:48,920 –> 00:15:50,520
\nIt works more than we wish it
\ndid. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:51,240 –> 00:15:54,440
\nThe only way to avoid it is to
\nrecognize it and to combat it. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:55,760 –> 00:15:58,400
\nNow, let’s keep that in mind as
\nwe put this in our day. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:02,840
\nIn verse 13, God says to Noah,
\nthe end of all flesh has come, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:02,840 –> 00:16:04,960
\nfor the earth is filled with
\nviolence put through them and <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:04,960 –> 00:16:06,640
\nbehold, I will destroy them with
\nthe earth. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:06,640 –> 00:16:08,760
\nAnd this is an important piece
\nto remember. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:08,760 –> 00:16:10,480
\nThere’s always a focus on the
\nremnant. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:10,840 –> 00:16:14,680
\nThere is always, always, always
\na note of mercy and the tragedy <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:14,680 –> 00:16:18,240
\nof God’s judgment.
\nHe displayed patience in <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:18,240 –> 00:16:21,440
\nallowing the oldest person that
\nhad ever lived to die a month <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:21,440 –> 00:16:23,760
\nbefore the flood.
\nSo that’s Noah’s grandfather, <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:23,760 –> 00:16:27,960
\nMethuselah, and Noah’s father
\nLamech, who died five years <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:27,960 –> 00:16:31,400
\nearlier.
\nThey died of natural causes <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:31,920 –> 00:16:35,200
\nbefore the flood began.
\nSo the preservation of the <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:39,520
\ngrandfather and the father, so
\nhe didn’t have to witness the <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:42,640
\nloss of their life in the flood.
\nOr perhaps there’d be a few more<\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:42,640 –> 00:16:47,120
\nrooms in it to preserve them.
\nOur God has thought this out. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:48,120 –> 00:16:51,360
\nThere’s more math if you want it
\nin Genesis chapter 5, but the <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:51,360 –> 00:16:54,600
\ntime has come.
\nThe warning of God had been <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:16:57,080
\nignored.
\nThe message of Noah’s preaching <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:57,600 –> 00:17:01,240
\nhad been endured long enough.
\nVerse 37 and now here, and we <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:01,240 –> 00:17:04,440
\nrecall Jesus warning us to put
\nit to our day. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:06,480 –> 00:17:09,280
\nNow we looked at this verse
\nalready, but I want to focus on <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:09,280 –> 00:17:12,520
\nthe last one.
\nSo eating, drinking, marrying, <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:12,520 –> 00:17:14,920
\ngiven in mirrors.
\nWe tied that nicely to today and<\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:17,839
\nthe day of Noah.
\nBut it says they knew not until <\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:17,839 –> 00:17:19,920
\nthe flood came and took them all
\naway. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:19,960 –> 00:17:21,440
\nSo shall the coming of the Son
\nof Man be. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:21,720 –> 00:17:23,160
\nAnd so we’ve made the
\nconnection. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:23,160 –> 00:17:26,440
\nBut the part I want to focus on
\nis that they knew not. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:27,880 –> 00:17:30,240
\nThat is the intimate knowledge
\nword in Greek. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:33,640
\nIt’s not that they’d never heard
\nthe message before. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:33,760 –> 00:17:36,400
\nOh, they’d casually heard it,
\nprobably to ad nauseam. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:36,400 –> 00:17:38,760
\nOh, yeah, I know.
\nThe flood’s coming. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:38,760 –> 00:17:40,480
\nThe waters are falling from the
\nsky. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:41,080 –> 00:17:43,160
\nOK, here comes Noah.
\nWe’re going to hear more about <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:43,160 –> 00:17:44,560
\nthe water.
\nI’m stayed. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:44,560 –> 00:17:46,960
\nIt’s not that they didn’t hear
\nthe message if they had <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:46,960 –> 00:17:51,040
\ndisregarded it, they didn’t
\nintimately understand what God <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:51,040 –> 00:17:54,080
\nwas trying to do to get them to
\nchange for their own good <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:54,680 –> 00:17:57,360
\nbecause they were not interested
\nin God’s order for their lives <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:57,960 –> 00:18:00,320
\nand therefore had no need for
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:00,360 –> 00:18:03,760
\nThey were too busy satisfying
\nthemselves by eating, drinking, <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:03,760 –> 00:18:07,040
\nand marrying to be distracted by
\nthe promises of Almighty God. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:08,080 –> 00:18:10,360
\nAnd that’s what Jesus says.
\nWatch out, because that’s what <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:10,360 –> 00:18:11,920
\nit’s going to be like when I
\ncome back. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:18,840
\nAnd so we look today and can we
\nsee that in the world, in the <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:18,840 –> 00:18:24,160
\nmeeting, in our families?
\nAnd when we see that note of <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:29,160
\ntragedy, there’s a reminder to
\nus that there is hope in that <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:29,840 –> 00:18:32,680
\nthe redemption of the remnants
\nis drawing. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:32,680 –> 00:18:36,960
\nNot so, he says.
\nMake an ark of Gopher wood <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:38,640
\nrooms.
\nThou shalt make of the ark. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:38,640 –> 00:18:40,040
\nPitch it within and without,
\nwith pitch. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:40,360 –> 00:18:41,920
\nAnd this is an interesting
\ndetail. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:42,960 –> 00:18:46,240
\nWhy are we told what kind of
\nwood to use and to use pitch on <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:46,240 –> 00:18:49,520
\nthe inside and outside?
\nI mean, God didn’t say we got to<\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:49,520 –> 00:18:52,000
\nrescue somebody on this planet.
\nLet’s pick the guy who knows how<\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:52,000 –> 00:18:54,560
\nto build a boat.
\nThat’s not what happened. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:54,560 –> 00:18:57,080
\nHe was picked because he was
\nfollowing God’s path. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:57,520 –> 00:18:59,480
\nBut he’s a guy who lives in a
\ndesert. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:59,480 –> 00:19:02,000
\nThis is not a Yacht Club that
\nhe’s raised in. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:02,160 –> 00:19:05,880
\nHe lives in a region where
\nthere’s water around it. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:05,880 –> 00:19:08,600
\nBut this is not like, hey, let’s
\ngo on a leisure cruise together.<\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:08,760 –> 00:19:10,520
\nThey’re not boat builders by
\ntrade. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:10,800 –> 00:19:16,440
\nSo Moses ice, Noah is told, here
\nis how you do it. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:16,440 –> 00:19:21,840
\nNow the good news is, everything
\nthat God told Noah he did, well,<\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:21,840 –> 00:19:23,400
\ngood thing.
\nWhat if he decided to know? <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:23,400 –> 00:19:25,240
\nI’m not interested in this
\nGopher wood stuff. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:25,520 –> 00:19:29,640
\nMaybe I’ll use balsa.
\nProbably a bad idea. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:29,640 –> 00:19:33,640
\nSo it’s good that God said Noah,
\nthis is what you need to do is <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:33,640 –> 00:19:38,040
\nOK, we’ll do that.
\nAnd so the word ark, the only <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:38,040 –> 00:19:42,840
\nother use of this in Hebrew is
\nactually Exodus chapter 2 where <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:42,840 –> 00:19:45,600
\nwe’re talking about Moses.
\nSo the word was on my page. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:45,600 –> 00:19:49,240
\nIt didn’t just come out of
\nnowhere talking about Moses and <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:49,240 –> 00:19:51,560
\nhis ark.
\nSo the connection between the <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:51,560 –> 00:19:54,840
\nsalvation of Israel and the
\nsalvation of the family of Noah <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:55,160 –> 00:20:00,080
\nis made for us in Scripture.
\nAnd then we have the use of <\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:00,080 –> 00:20:03,680
\nwood, which of course now is
\nbeing used to save the family, a<\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:03,680 –> 00:20:07,160
\ntype of salvation which we can
\nconnect right to the cross of <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:07,280 –> 00:20:10,000
\nJesus, which we will when we get
\nto chapter 8. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:10,960 –> 00:20:14,120
\nThe word rooms in the Hebrew
\nreally means nests. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:15,240 –> 00:20:19,960
\nSo it was intended to be comfort
\nto the animals by God. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:21,480 –> 00:20:25,680
\nSo he’s been given direction on
\nhow to take care of the animals.<\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:25,960 –> 00:20:29,080
\nNow we just looked at this in
\nthe last class so I I won’t read<\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:29,080 –> 00:20:33,520
\nit again, but just note there
\nare abundant ties to the Lord <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:33,520 –> 00:20:36,800
\nJesus as we start looking at the
\nark and the calling of the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:39,960
\nanimals to the ark and the
\npreparations of the ark, the ark<\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:43,920
\nitself, the water around the the
\nark, you’re going to go on and <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:43,920 –> 00:20:48,160
\non to see even some of the
\nanimals called out by name are <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:48,160 –> 00:20:50,960
\ndirect references to the work of
\nour Lord. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:51,640 –> 00:20:54,080
\nAnd by the time we get to
\nChapter 8, hopefully I will have<\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:54,080 –> 00:20:56,800
\nthat statement proved.
\nSo they’re told to put a <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:56,800 –> 00:20:59,400
\ncovering, which is what the word
\npitch really is, completely <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:02,880
\nwithin and without, which ties
\nUS directly to immersion and <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:07,240
\nbaptism with waters all around,
\na protective covering on the <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:07,240 –> 00:21:09,760
\nwood.
\nSo the covering of sin requires <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:09,760 –> 00:21:12,280
\nthe shedding of blood.
\nSo we’ve got the covering that’s<\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:12,280 –> 00:21:15,680
\nbeen provided by God in order
\nfor us to have hope. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:15,680 –> 00:21:19,280
\nThe symbolism of what’s being
\nbrought to this family is <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:19,280 –> 00:21:23,320
\nastounding.
\nNow this is the fashion which <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:23,320 –> 00:21:25,720
\nyou will make it.
\nThe length of it shall be 100 <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:25,720 –> 00:21:28,040
\ncubits, the breadth of it 50
\ncubits, the height of it 30 <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:28,040 –> 00:21:30,080
\ncubits.
\nSo we’ve got specific detail, <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:30,080 –> 00:21:32,200
\nwood type, nest pitch,
\ndimensions. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:32,880 –> 00:21:35,200
\nThey’re following the
\ninstructions of God, which is an<\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:38,400
\nexhortation to us.
\nIf we are constantly reading and<\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:41,240
\nstudying the Word of God, we get
\nthe opportunity to get what He <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:41,240 –> 00:21:44,160
\nwants us to do.
\nDo we then take what He wants us<\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:44,160 –> 00:21:46,720
\nto do and try to make our life
\nmatch it? <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:47,160 –> 00:21:50,400
\nBecause the natural inclination
\nof all of us is to take what we <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:53,920
\nread in His Word and try to see
\nif we can make our life fit it. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:54,520 –> 00:21:58,480
\nThere’s a difference trying to
\njustify what I want to do with <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:58,480 –> 00:22:02,200
\nthe support of Scripture versus
\nletting God tell me what I <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:02,200 –> 00:22:05,640
\nshould do and changing my life
\nas necessary to make that so. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:06,960 –> 00:22:08,720
\nSo the approximate dimensions
\nthen. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:14,600
\nWell, it gives us, since we like
\nfeet here, 450 feet, 75 feet by <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:14,600 –> 00:22:18,840
\n45 feet high.
\nSo that’s approximate dimensions<\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:18,840 –> 00:22:20,640
\nusing about 18 inches for a
\ncubit. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:21,480 –> 00:22:24,560
\nThis is a more modern ish
\nversion of that if you will. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:24,840 –> 00:22:28,840
\nBasically you’re looking at a
\ngiant wooden box about the size <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:28,840 –> 00:22:32,000
\nof a football field.
\nIf you add the track around it, <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:33,800
\nmaybe the first row or so of the
\nstands. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:34,840 –> 00:22:36,840
\nSo put in your mind this
\npicture. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:36,840 –> 00:22:41,240
\nGiant wooden box about the size
\nof a high school football field <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:42,320 –> 00:22:44,760
\nin the desert.
\nHe wouldn’t have looked crazy at<\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:44,760 –> 00:22:47,680
\nall, I’m sure.
\nNo, it’s funny because there was<\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:47,680 –> 00:22:51,120
\na phrase said about this ship.
\nThis should have been haunting <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:51,120 –> 00:22:54,600
\nto anyone who walked on it.
\nRemember what that phrase was? <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:55,480 –> 00:22:57,920
\nYeah, unsinkable.
\nIn fact, the actual quote is <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:57,920 –> 00:23:00,200
\neven God himself couldn’t sink
\nthis ship. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:04,360
\nBoy, you asked for it.
\nYou almost said, all right, God,<\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:04,360 –> 00:23:08,240
\nlet’s see what you got.
\nThat’s a bad decision, as we <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:08,240 –> 00:23:12,160
\nknow, but so explain that one.
\nHow do the best engineers that <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:12,400 –> 00:23:16,720
\nhumans on the planet have to
\noffer with 4000 years of boat <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:16,720 –> 00:23:19,160
\nbuilding experience come up with
\nsomething that can’t make it <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:19,160 –> 00:23:23,640
\npass?
\nA chunk of ice and God and a <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:23,640 –> 00:23:27,800
\ncouple people in a desert with
\nsome wood can make something <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:27,800 –> 00:23:31,840
\nthat saves the earth.
\nIt’s not about us, it’s about <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:31,840 –> 00:23:34,240
\nour God.
\nOur God’s in control. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:34,440 –> 00:23:38,720
\nThe ark would never have worked
\nif it was up to Noah and his <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:38,720 –> 00:23:43,120
\nfamily to figure out how and
\nwhat but to follow the plan of <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:43,120 –> 00:23:44,720
\nGod.
\nThat we can do. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:44,720 –> 00:23:46,920
\nAnd if we follow the plan of
\nGod, we can be saved. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:47,080 –> 00:23:51,400
\nThe message rings true to today.
\nNow what he’s told, put a window<\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:51,400 –> 00:23:55,200
\nin the ark, a cubit and in a
\ncubit thou shalt finish it above<\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:55,200 –> 00:23:57,320
\nthe door of the ark.
\nThou set in the side, lower, <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:57,400 –> 00:23:59,040
\nsecond, third stories, thou
\nshalt make it. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:59,360 –> 00:24:02,200
\nThe RSV says it this way.
\nMake a roof for the ark and <\/p>\n
399
\n00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:05,760
\nfinish it to a cubit above.
\nSo the word window is a <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:05,760 –> 00:24:08,560
\ndifferent one than we’ll see in
\nchapter 8, verse six in a couple<\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:08,560 –> 00:24:12,040
\ndays.
\nThis particular word is used 24 <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:12,040 –> 00:24:14,600
\ntimes in the Old Testament.
\nI told you before, I get excited<\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:17,840
\nabout things divisible by 7 and
\n12\/24 times in the Old <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:17,840 –> 00:24:20,600
\nTestament.
\nThis is the only one translated <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:23,920
\nwindow.
\nThe other 23 are all translated <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:23,920 –> 00:24:27,280
\nnoon or noonday.
\nSo what we have here is not what<\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:27,280 –> 00:24:30,400
\nyou and I would call a window,
\nbut what we have is an opening <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:33,000
\nacross the upper layer of the
\narc for ventilation. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:33,280 –> 00:24:37,640
\nThat makes sense.
\nYou have a floating zoo. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:39,400 –> 00:24:42,120
\nThink about this for a minute.
\nAnimals don’t always smell <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:42,120 –> 00:24:44,920
\ngreat, let alone when they’ve
\nbeen hanging out together for a <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:44,920 –> 00:24:48,080
\nyear or so and he’s providing
\nfood and you know what happens <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:48,080 –> 00:24:50,880
\nafter they eat.
\nSo God thought of everything. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:51,360 –> 00:24:54,200
\nHe had a plan and he had
\norchestrated it to the tee. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:55,360 –> 00:25:00,920
\nNow, as we look at this, we get
\nto see the example of God <\/p>\n
416
\n00:25:00,920 –> 00:25:03,880
\nknowing where this is going and
\nus trusting our God. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:08,280
\nAnd we’re going to talk about
\nthat in detail later. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:08,760 –> 00:25:12,160
\nI want to touch it right now.
\nThis is one artist’s rendition. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:12,160 –> 00:25:15,160
\nThe reason I like it is because
\nit’s the shape of a box, not the<\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:15,160 –> 00:25:18,880
\nPretty Little, you know, boat
\nwith like 7 animals on the top, <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:19,040 –> 00:25:21,520
\nwhich would not quite work.
\nAnd we see the giraffe and we <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:21,520 –> 00:25:23,560
\nwave.
\nIt’s not the one that’s going to<\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:23,560 –> 00:25:25,760
\nfit.
\nA giant floating box of three <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:25,760 –> 00:25:29,680
\nstories and roof on a window
\nline on top for ventilation is <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:29,680 –> 00:25:33,040
\neffectively what we have.
\nBut here’s the part that’s just <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:33,080 –> 00:25:37,080
\nremarkable to me.
\nHe’s told to build the door. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:38,040 –> 00:25:41,720
\nThere’s only one way in.
\nThere’s only one way in. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:41,800 –> 00:25:44,840
\nAnd that way is God’s way.
\nYou make a hole in the side of <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:44,840 –> 00:25:46,600
\nthis giant boat that I’m going
\nto make float. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:48,120 –> 00:25:51,720
\nI’ll take care of the rest.
\nI want you to notice for just <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:51,720 –> 00:25:54,960
\none second, there’s no education
\nhere for him to build a pulley <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:54,960 –> 00:25:57,720
\nsystem to close this door.
\nAnd I want you to, for a moment,<\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:57,720 –> 00:26:01,520
\nthink when the rain starts
\ncoming, God’s going to close <\/p>\n
434
\n00:26:01,520 –> 00:26:04,880
\nthis door.
\nThere’s a faith that God will <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:05,880 –> 00:26:08,760
\nbecause that faith that God will
\nclose the door. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:08,760 –> 00:26:11,000
\nIf he doesn’t, then that boat is
\njust becomes your grave. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:11,840 –> 00:26:16,520
\nBut there’s also a mercy because
\nif God’s closing the door, <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:17,240 –> 00:26:20,920
\nyou’re not the one doing it.
\nFor those that might be running,<\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:20,920 –> 00:26:23,960
\ngoing, wait, we should have paid
\nmore attention before now. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:23,960 –> 00:26:26,200
\nI’m not trying to suggest that
\nNoah and his family lived in the<\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:26,200 –> 00:26:30,480
\nsuburbs and there were 800 homes
\naround them, but the odds of <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:30,520 –> 00:26:34,040
\nthem having family in close
\nproximity are quite high. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:34,040 –> 00:26:39,000
\nLet’s look at John 14 so we can
\ntie Jesus to the door as well. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:41,760
\nI am the way, the truth and the
\nlife. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:41,760 –> 00:26:44,640
\nNo man cometh to the Father, but
\nby me. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:44,680 –> 00:26:50,200
\nTwo specific instructions let
\nlight in, and there’s only one <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:50,200 –> 00:26:52,600
\ndoor.
\nAnd that lesson lies to us <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:52,600 –> 00:26:54,000
\ntoday.
\nSo let’s keep going back to <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:56,680
\nGenesis.
\nBehold, I even I do bring a <\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:56,680 –> 00:26:59,360
\nflood of waters upon the earth
\nto destroy all flesh, wherein <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:59,360 –> 00:27:01,560
\nthere is breath of life from
\nunder the heaven and everything <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:01,560 –> 00:27:05,840
\nthat in the earth shall die.
\nSo water from the sky is what <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:05,840 –> 00:27:07,160
\nhe’s being told is going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:07,160 –> 00:27:10,160
\nAnd you and I go, hey, it’s
\nsupposed to rain today, but is <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:10,160 –> 00:27:12,960
\nanybody here really nervous that
\nwe’re all going to die today? <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:14,440 –> 00:27:16,280
\nI mean, it might mess up the
\nafternoon plans. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:16,280 –> 00:27:18,600
\nI recognize that.
\nBut at the end of the day, we’re<\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:18,600 –> 00:27:21,600
\nnot in peril.
\nWater’s coming. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:22,080 –> 00:27:24,960
\nWe don’t have that fear because
\nwater from the sky is normal to <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:25,000 –> 00:27:27,760
\nus.
\nBut it was not normal to them, <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:28,440 –> 00:27:32,680
\nNot yet.
\nRain was new. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:33,320 –> 00:27:35,120
\nAnd that changes the dimension
\nto the story. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:35,120 –> 00:27:40,440
\nGo back to Genesis chapter 2.
\nIn Genesis chapter 2 we have <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:43,160 –> 00:27:46,040
\nevery plant of the field, verse
\n5 before it was in the earth, <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:46,080 –> 00:27:49,080
\nevery herb in the field before
\nit grew the Lord God had not <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:49,080 –> 00:27:52,120
\ncaused it to rain upon the earth
\nand there was not a man to till <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:52,120 –> 00:27:55,800
\nthe ground, but there went out a
\nmidst from the earth and the and<\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:55,800 –> 00:27:57,080
\nwatered the whole face of the
\nground. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:57,400 –> 00:28:00,240
\nDoes anyone read that and think
\nthat’s God’s way of telling us a<\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:00,240 –> 00:28:03,360
\nweather report on some unknown
\nday in the Genesis creation <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:03,360 –> 00:28:05,280
\naccount?
\nThe. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:05,280 –> 00:28:09,960
\nReason that verse is there is to
\nadd emphasis to the story of <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:14,280
\nNoah.
\nAt this point, the ground was <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:14,280 –> 00:28:17,520
\nbeing taken care of by a midst
\nprovided by our heavenly Father.<\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:18,240 –> 00:28:21,440
\nIt was not being taken care of
\nby water falling from the sky. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:21,760 –> 00:28:26,880
\nThe first actual occurrence of
\nrain on the planet is actually <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:26,880 –> 00:28:29,760
\nthe story of the flood, and that
\nchanges this dynamic a lot. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:29,880 –> 00:28:33,320
\nSee, that’s why when the rainbow
\nwas given as a token, it’s so <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:33,320 –> 00:28:35,480
\nwhen it rains again, you’re
\nlike, oh, we didn’t know what to<\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:35,480 –> 00:28:36,680
\ndo.
\nWe didn’t have another boat <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:36,680 –> 00:28:38,880
\nready.
\nOh, it’s going to be normal <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:38,880 –> 00:28:41,360
\nafter this.
\nAnd suddenly, if you start <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:41,360 –> 00:28:43,680
\nthinking about just going with
\nthe scientists for a minute <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:43,680 –> 00:28:47,760
\nhere, the age of everybody gets
\na lot smaller too, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:48,800 –> 00:28:52,000
\nOh, you mean the cloud cover is
\ncoming and going and not a <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:52,000 –> 00:28:54,640
\nconstant protection of the
\nradiation from the sun? <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:54,760 –> 00:28:56,000
\nThat couldn’t have anything to
\ndo with it. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:56,000 –> 00:28:59,520
\nI’m sure it’s coincidence, but
\nthe point here is that now we’re<\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:59,520 –> 00:29:01,720
\nbeing told water is going to
\ncome from the sky. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:01,720 –> 00:29:04,080
\nAnd when it does, you’ve got to
\nbe ready. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:04,240 –> 00:29:07,440
\nAnd in fact, if you want to
\nreinforce that Hebrews 11 verse <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:07,440 –> 00:29:09,520
\n7, which we’ve already looked at
\nhalf a dozen times, don’t worry,<\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:09,520 –> 00:29:12,720
\nwe’ll do it 5 or 6 more.
\nIt says he’s warned of God, of <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:12,720 –> 00:29:20,720
\nsomething not seen as yet.
\nHe is about to be told this is <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:20,720 –> 00:29:25,280
\nnew, Get ready.
\nSo to put this in perspective, I<\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:25,280 –> 00:29:30,080
\nwant you and I to just a moment
\nthink of what would happen if an<\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:30,080 –> 00:29:32,200
\nAngel came and talked to you
\ntonight. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:32,720 –> 00:29:34,720
\nI’m not suggesting this, Will.
\nI just want you to imagine and <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:34,720 –> 00:29:39,560
\nplay along and said, OK, you
\nguys are hanging out in <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:39,560 –> 00:29:43,520
\nPennsylvania.
\nThere’s a giant volcano you’re <\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:43,520 –> 00:29:46,160
\nnot aware of.
\nIt’s about a mile outside of <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:46,160 –> 00:29:50,400
\nShippensburg.
\nWhat we’d like you to do is <\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:50,400 –> 00:29:54,120
\nbuild a giant bomb shelter,
\nconcrete and steel. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:55,080 –> 00:29:56,800
\nWe’ll give you a couple weeks to
\ndo it because there’s more than <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:56,800 –> 00:30:01,240
\n8 of you and you need to tell
\neveryone why you’re building it <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:01,240 –> 00:30:03,960
\nso that you can be preserved
\nbecause when the lava flows, <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:03,960 –> 00:30:06,680
\nit’s going to kill everything
\nthat’s not in your bomb shelter.<\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:06,800 –> 00:30:08,600
\nI’ll give you the directions.
\nI’m not going to set you up for <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:08,600 –> 00:30:10,960
\nfailure.
\nAnd then, by the way, just <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:10,960 –> 00:30:12,800
\nexplain to everybody why you’re
\ndoing this. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:13,840 –> 00:30:15,600
\nWould you not look and feel
\ncrazy? <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:17,840 –> 00:30:19,680
\nYou, if you wouldn’t, then
\nyou’re much better than me. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:19,760 –> 00:30:21,640
\nI’d feel like a nut.
\nAnd you would look like 1. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:21,640 –> 00:30:23,440
\nBy the way, even if you didn’t
\nfeel it, you’d look nuts. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:23,600 –> 00:30:26,280
\nHey, the volcano in Pennsylvania
\nis going to erupt. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:27,720 –> 00:30:29,040
\nOh, yeah.
\nWe’re all nervous now, aren’t <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:29,040 –> 00:30:30,920
\nwe?
\nWe need we need to go. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:30,920 –> 00:30:32,840
\nLet’s move the Bible school.
\nNo, we’re not worried. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:32,840 –> 00:30:35,160
\nWe’re not afraid.
\nBut that would be new. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:35,560 –> 00:30:37,520
\nAnd if you were told something
\nthat was new and you had <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:37,520 –> 00:30:40,120
\nexclusive information and
\neverybody else didn’t know, they<\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:40,120 –> 00:30:43,600
\nwould just think you were crazy.
\nAnd now you can understand how <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:43,600 –> 00:30:46,480
\nno one misses Noah would have
\nfelt when they said, well, we <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:46,520 –> 00:30:47,800
\nneed a couple extra
\nshipbuilders. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:47,800 –> 00:30:50,360
\nWe can’t can’t get anybody else
\non this planet to help us. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:50,680 –> 00:30:56,840
\nLet’s make a few, behold, I even
\nI do bring a flood of waters to <\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:56,840 –> 00:31:00,360
\ndestroy all flesh, wherein there
\nis the breath of life from under<\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:00,360 –> 00:31:02,280
\nthe heaven, and everything that
\nis in the earth shall die. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:05,120
\nSo the special note at the end
\nof this verse, everything that <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:05,120 –> 00:31:08,600
\nis in the earth shall die, is
\nletting us know the fish are <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:08,600 –> 00:31:10,640
\nexcluded from this.
\nAnd that’s where we have to be <\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:10,640 –> 00:31:12,440
\ncareful.
\nLet the Bible tell us what it’s <\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:12,440 –> 00:31:15,080
\nsaying.
\nLet’s not try to pin God into a <\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:15,080 –> 00:31:17,000
\ncorner so small that we can
\nexplain it. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:17,680 –> 00:31:20,240
\nSo he’s given us the detail.
\nThe focus is not the animals. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:20,960 –> 00:31:22,680
\nSo the fish, they’re going to be
\nfine. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:22,760 –> 00:31:27,280
\nTheir little apartments going to
\nturn into a mansion, Lots more <\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:27,280 –> 00:31:31,320
\nwater to work with.
\nSo it’s an interesting thought <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:32,160 –> 00:31:35,600
\nthat the only time this word in
\nthe Hebrew translated flood is <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:35,600 –> 00:31:39,520
\nused outside of Genesis 6
\nthrough 11 is actually Psalm 29,<\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:40,520 –> 00:31:43,400
\nverse 10.
\nThe Lord sitteth upon the flood.<\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:45,400
\nYeah, the Lord sitteth king
\nforever. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:45,720 –> 00:31:48,040
\nThe Lord will give strength unto
\nHis people, and the Lord will <\/p>\n
544
\n00:31:48,040 –> 00:31:51,840
\nbless His people with peace.
\nSo the blessing of peace comes <\/p>\n
545
\n00:31:52,760 –> 00:31:57,160
\nto those that choose God’s way.
\nIt’s a grand and direct contrast<\/p>\n
546
\n00:31:57,360 –> 00:31:59,320
\nto the way of the flesh and the
\nturmoil and destruction that <\/p>\n
547
\n00:31:59,320 –> 00:32:01,120
\ncomes when we choose our own
\nway. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:02,880 –> 00:32:04,720
\nWith Thee I will establish my
\ncovenant. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:04,920 –> 00:32:07,200
\nThou shalt come into the ark,
\nthou and thy sons, and thy wife,<\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:07,200 –> 00:32:09,240
\nand thy sons wives with thee.
\nSo the first time the word <\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:09,240 –> 00:32:13,920
\ncovenant is used is right here.
\nRemember Numbers 14 and 21. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:13,920 –> 00:32:15,720
\nGod’s purpose is to fill the
\nearth with His glory. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:15,720 –> 00:32:19,560
\nThis is the reset button He is
\nhitting right now, but his goal <\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:19,560 –> 00:32:22,080
\ndid not change.
\nHe is still going to fill the <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:22,080 –> 00:32:25,400
\nearth of His glory, and he’s
\ninvited this small ecclesia to <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:29,000
\nbe a part of the rebuild effort.
\nThere’ll be more numerology in <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:31,200
\nthe next class, maybe so much
\nthat you won’t want to hear it <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:31,200 –> 00:32:33,120
\nby the end of the next class.
\nBut we’re going to hold the <\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:33,120 –> 00:32:36,480
\nnumber 7, which by the way, next
\nthe next class, Genesis Chapter <\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:36,480 –> 00:32:38,760
\n7 is called Sevens, so brace
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:32:39,600 –> 00:32:44,160
\nJust like Christ, Noah had to
\nsave himself in order to save <\/p>\n
562
\n00:32:44,160 –> 00:32:47,600
\nothers.
\nJesus had to lay down his life <\/p>\n
563
\n00:32:47,600 –> 00:32:52,240
\nto give you and I hope if he had
\ndecided at Gethsemane, I’m out, <\/p>\n
564
\n00:32:52,240 –> 00:32:54,760
\nthat’s not for me.
\nHe could not be the offering for<\/p>\n
565
\n00:32:54,760 –> 00:32:57,840
\nour sin.
\nSo he had to save himself before<\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:57,840 –> 00:32:59,960
\nhe could save others.
\nThere’s a representative example<\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:59,960 –> 00:33:01,640
\nfor this.
\nHow many of you came in on an <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:01,640 –> 00:33:05,160
\nairplane to get to the school?
\nSo there’s a few of us. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:05,360 –> 00:33:07,760
\nYou remember the announcement
\nthat says, you know, if you’re <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:07,760 –> 00:33:12,160
\ntravelling with children and the
\nmasks fall down, put the mask on<\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:12,160 –> 00:33:14,320
\nyourself before you put it on
\nyour child. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:14,840 –> 00:33:17,360
\nAnd if you’re traveling with two
\nchildren, pick the one you like <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:17,360 –> 00:33:18,800
\nthe most.
\nYou remember that one? <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:19,480 –> 00:33:25,240
\nOK, so the point is, if our
\nnatural inclination is no air, I<\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:25,240 –> 00:33:27,880
\nneed to get air to my kid.
\nBut if you have no air, you <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:27,880 –> 00:33:30,560
\ncan’t help your kid get your
\nair. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:30,880 –> 00:33:33,720
\nHelp your kid get their air.
\nThat’s a better plan than they <\/p>\n
578
\n00:33:33,720 –> 00:33:34,720
\nget air.
\nAnd then they watch you <\/p>\n
579
\n00:33:34,720 –> 00:33:36,560
\nsuffocate.
\nSo it makes sense. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:33:36,800 –> 00:33:41,360
\nSo the concept, save yourself
\nbefore you save others. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:33:41,360 –> 00:33:44,280
\nThat’s not selfish.
\nThat’s the same concept of <\/p>\n
582
\n00:33:44,280 –> 00:33:46,440
\necclesial life.
\nIf all I’m trying to do is fix <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:46,440 –> 00:33:50,480
\nyou and take no regard for
\nfixing me, I’m not helping you. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:51,000 –> 00:33:54,880
\nI’m not helping anyone.
\nBut if I can focus on fixing my <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:54,880 –> 00:33:59,040
\nlife and then help hopefully be
\nan example in your life, now <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:59,040 –> 00:34:01,120
\nwe’re working together and
\nthat’s the ecclesial family. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:34:01,240 –> 00:34:04,640
\nSo a focus has to 1st put in
\norder the things of God in my <\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:04,640 –> 00:34:07,040
\nlife and then export it for all
\nof us. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:07,040 –> 00:34:10,400
\nTo save our family in The Dark
\nWorld is to personally dedicate <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:15,480
\nour lives to the service of and
\nsurrender to our Almighty Father<\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:15,760 –> 00:34:19,639
\nin such a way that I.
\nEven our closest contacts see us<\/p>\n
592
\n00:34:19,639 –> 00:34:23,080
\nas a blessing and we think of.
\nThis word murmuring. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:34:23,920 –> 00:34:26,719
\nMurmuring is something that’s
\nvery easy for human beings to <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:26,719 –> 00:34:28,040
\ndo.
\nWe’re all designed with it. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:28,040 –> 00:34:31,159
\nIn fact, in the wilderness,
\necclesia in the wilderness, <\/p>\n
596
\n00:34:31,159 –> 00:34:34,280
\nthere are two words used
\ninterchangeably to describe <\/p>\n
597
\n00:34:34,880 –> 00:34:36,920
\nmurmuring.
\nIn fact, it’s all translated <\/p>\n
598
\n00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:38,080
\nmurmuring.
\nBut there are two different <\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:38,080 –> 00:34:39,920
\nwords.
\nOne of them, well, that means <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:39,920 –> 00:34:41,360
\nmurmuring or complaining.
\nThat’s easy. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:42,120 –> 00:34:49,800
\nThe other one, up all night.
\nSo the ecclesia was up all night<\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:49,800 –> 00:34:53,400
\ncomplaining about who?
\nGod and his provisions, the <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:57,600
\necclesial leadership, the lack
\nof provisions let. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:58,640 –> 00:34:59,800
\nMe.
\nThink about this for a second. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:35:00,120 –> 00:35:02,600
\nIt’s not really going the way it
\nused to be, better my way. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:35:02,600 –> 00:35:05,400
\nWe used to have a better option.
\nAnd I’m sure none of that has <\/p>\n
607
\n00:35:05,480 –> 00:35:07,280
\never happened at your dinner
\ntable, has it? <\/p>\n
608
\n00:35:07,400 –> 00:35:10,200
\nIf we ever had a conversation
\naround the dinner table and we <\/p>\n
609
\n00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:13,600
\nstart talking about what brother
\nor sister so and so said or did <\/p>\n
610
\n00:35:14,360 –> 00:35:18,000
\nor you know what the the person
\nin the ecclesia who said <\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:18,000 –> 00:35:19,760
\nsomething that hurt your
\nfeelings or did something, you <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:19,760 –> 00:35:23,440
\ncan’t believe it.
\nNow if you’re going to have <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:23,440 –> 00:35:25,120
\nthese.
\nConversations at home in front <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:25,120 –> 00:35:26,560
\nof your children.
\nIs it a surprise? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:26,560 –> 00:35:28,200
\nOur children grow up and go, I
\ndon’t know that I really want to<\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:29,960
\nbe a part of that mess.
\nThey don’t even like each other.<\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:31,160 –> 00:35:33,920
\nThat’s the lesson of the
\necclesia in the wilderness. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:34,640 –> 00:35:38,680
\nSo here, who knows the mistakes
\nthat Noah and misses Noah made <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:38,680 –> 00:35:43,040
\nwith their other possible
\nchildren, but not with these. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:43,480 –> 00:35:45,920
\nThey had an opportunity to focus
\non getting it right. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:47,920 –> 00:35:48,960
\nIt’s kind of somber when you
\nthink. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:48,960 –> 00:35:51,840
\nOf it that way, doesn’t it?
\nOf every. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:51,840 –> 00:35:54,120
\nLiving thing of all.
\nFlesh 2 of every sort thou shalt<\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:54,120 –> 00:35:57,400
\nbring into the ark, and keep
\nthem alive with thee they shall <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:57,400 –> 00:36:00,000
\nbe male and female.
\nAnd I love this picture because <\/p>\n
626
\n00:36:00,000 –> 00:36:02,120
\nyou got more than two sheep at
\nthe bottom. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:36:03,480 –> 00:36:07,560
\nVerse 20 of fowls after their
\nkind, cattle after their kind, <\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:07,560 –> 00:36:09,840
\ncreeping thing after their kind.
\nEvery source will come and keep <\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:09,840 –> 00:36:11,880
\nthem alive.
\nThis is an important detail. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:11,880 –> 00:36:18,680
\nNoah is to receive, not collect.
\nSee, it’s not up to you or I to <\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:18,680 –> 00:36:21,120
\ndecide who deserves to be called
\nout of the waters. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:22,480 –> 00:36:26,640
\nOur God does the calling.
\nBut we have to be ready and <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:26,640 –> 00:36:31,400
\nprepared to receive them through
\nthe one light and God’s door. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:32,440 –> 00:36:36,280
\nThat’s the message God isn’t
\nsending Noah to go out. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:36,280 –> 00:36:38,760
\nHey, I’ve got a checklist of
\nspecies you need to find. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:38,760 –> 00:36:40,080
\nSome of these you probably never
\neven see. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:40,680 –> 00:36:42,240
\nDon’t worry about that.
\nYou get it ready. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:43,240 –> 00:36:46,240
\nI’ll do the harvest.
\nI will glean from the <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:46,240 –> 00:36:48,920
\npopulation.
\nOf course, we can’t help but see<\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:48,920 –> 00:36:52,000
\nthe calling of the Gentiles out
\nof the sea of darkness to be <\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:52,000 –> 00:36:54,120
\ndrawn to the saving wood in the
\ncovering of God. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:55,480 –> 00:36:57,040
\nNotice there’s.
\nNo mention of sea life. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:57,040 –> 00:37:00,560
\nWe have the cattle creeping
\nthings, but there’s no aquarium <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:00,560 –> 00:37:01,840
\non the ark.
\nIt’s unnecessary. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:01,840 –> 00:37:04,800
\nGod’s got that covered.
\nThis is actually another <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:04,800 –> 00:37:07,920
\nreference to John.
\nJohn 6 verse 44. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:07,920 –> 00:37:12,640
\nNo man can come to me except the
\nFather which hath sent me. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:12,720 –> 00:37:16,560
\nDraw him and I will raise him up
\nin the last day. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:16,680 –> 00:37:19,000
\nDirect reference to the work of
\nthe of Noah in the flood. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:37:19,960 –> 00:37:21,880
\nYou mean lift him up off the
\nearth? <\/p>\n
651
\n00:37:21,880 –> 00:37:24,240
\nSounds kind of like what happens
\nin the next chapter when they’re<\/p>\n
652
\n00:37:24,240 –> 00:37:27,560
\nelevated by water and preserved
\nto convert the world to <\/p>\n
653
\n00:37:27,560 –> 00:37:29,080
\nrighteousness.
\nI’m sure that’s all <\/p>\n
654
\n00:37:29,080 –> 00:37:31,560
\ncoincidental.
\nVerse 21. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:37:33,440 –> 00:37:36,840
\nAnd take thou unto thee all the.
\nFood that is eaten, thou shalt <\/p>\n
656
\n00:37:36,840 –> 00:37:38,840
\ngather it to thee.
\nIt shall be food for thee and <\/p>\n
657
\n00:37:38,840 –> 00:37:40,920
\nfor them.
\nSo now he’s told to go prepare, <\/p>\n
658
\n00:37:41,000 –> 00:37:44,000
\nnot just for your meal for the
\nnext, you know, year or so. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:44,880 –> 00:37:46,400
\nWe got some animals we’re going
\nto have to take care of. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:48,920
\nGod brings the animals.
\nNoah gets the food. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:48,920 –> 00:37:51,640
\nIs that not a nice picture of
\nJesus feeding the nations <\/p>\n
662
\n00:37:51,640 –> 00:37:54,880
\nbrought to him by God?
\nThe two miracles of the feeding <\/p>\n
663
\n00:37:55,160 –> 00:37:58,280
\n4005 thousand.
\nOh, it’s amazing how all these <\/p>\n
664
\n00:37:58,280 –> 00:38:02,000
\nthings come together, the early
\nparts of Genesis impacting so <\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:02,000 –> 00:38:05,200
\nmuch of the work of our Lord.
\nNow here’s some food for <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:05,200 –> 00:38:08,800
\nthought, pun intended.
\nEither all of the animals are <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:08,800 –> 00:38:12,160
\ngoing to be vegetarian
\ntemporarily, like an identic <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:12,160 –> 00:38:15,040
\nstate, because I’m having
\ntrouble picturing, you know, the<\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:15,040 –> 00:38:16,560
\nlion and the lamb hanging out
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:38:17,720 –> 00:38:19,600
\nNot at least that.
\nUnless of course, God is in <\/p>\n
671
\n00:38:19,600 –> 00:38:22,640
\ncontrol and has made them all
\nhappy vegetarians, which that <\/p>\n
672
\n00:38:22,760 –> 00:38:27,280
\nphrase sounds strange to me.
\nOr all the carnivores are just <\/p>\n
673
\n00:38:27,280 –> 00:38:29,920
\ngoing to hibernate for a while,
\nwhich is also possible. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:38:30,160 –> 00:38:32,920
\nAnd here’s the point.
\nWe’re not told how God did it, <\/p>\n
675
\n00:38:33,680 –> 00:38:37,200
\nWe’re just told that He did.
\nNow, I gave you two options that<\/p>\n
676
\n00:38:37,200 –> 00:38:39,600
\nwould work.
\nCould there be more? <\/p>\n
677
\n00:38:40,160 –> 00:38:41,920
\nThere probably is.
\nThere’s probably one I’ve never <\/p>\n
678
\n00:38:41,920 –> 00:38:42,960
\neven thought of.
\nGod’s a Dennis. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:38:42,960 –> 00:38:44,160
\nDon’t worry about this, I got
\nit. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:38:45,080 –> 00:38:48,040
\nSee, without God in control,
\nthis is impossible. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:38:49,080 –> 00:38:51,160
\nBut with God in control,
\nnothing’s impossible. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:38:51,520 –> 00:38:55,800
\nThe critical point was the
\nobject lesson that when we turn <\/p>\n
683
\n00:38:55,800 –> 00:39:00,800
\nover our life to God and trust
\nHis wisdom, we stopped leaning <\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:00,800 –> 00:39:03,280
\non our own thinking.
\nLike so many other things in <\/p>\n
685
\n00:39:03,280 –> 00:39:06,320
\nlife, we need to focus on what
\nthe Bible says and not try to <\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:06,320 –> 00:39:07,840
\nfill in the space with what it
\ndoes not. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:08,000 –> 00:39:10,480
\nSo since you guys like
\ncontroversial things, here’s a <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:10,480 –> 00:39:13,120
\ngood one.
\nIt is perfectly fine to have an <\/p>\n
689
\n00:39:13,120 –> 00:39:14,280
\nopinion.
\nJust don’t be. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:39:14,400 –> 00:39:17,320
\nJust don’t be so bold as to
\nthink your opinion is the only <\/p>\n
691
\n00:39:17,320 –> 00:39:20,320
\none reasonable that fits with a
\nthus say at the Lord. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:20,320 –> 00:39:22,400
\nIf you have a thus say at the
\nLord, use it. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:22,520 –> 00:39:24,120
\nYour opinion doesn’t matter,
\nneither does mine. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:24,120 –> 00:39:26,760
\nGod’s opinion wins.
\nBut if we’re not told, <\/p>\n
695
\n00:39:27,760 –> 00:39:29,960
\nrationalizing your mind to make
\nsense, fair enough. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:39:29,960 –> 00:39:32,840
\nBut don’t make it God’s word
\nwhen it’s not. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:39:33,040 –> 00:39:37,480
\nAnd this is a great example of
\nthat, that we’ll talk a little <\/p>\n
698
\n00:39:37,480 –> 00:39:40,160
\nbit more in Chapter 7.
\nBut whether the flood was <\/p>\n
699
\n00:39:40,160 –> 00:39:44,960
\nworldwide or whether the flood
\nwas regional, here’s the great <\/p>\n
700
\n00:39:44,960 –> 00:39:48,760
\npart.
\nIt doesn’t matter if all. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:39:48,760 –> 00:39:50,600
\nThe humans on the planet died.
\nGod is right. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:39:51,600 –> 00:39:53,760
\nSo could he have flooded the
\nentire planet, which science <\/p>\n
703
\n00:39:53,760 –> 00:39:56,360
\nsays is impossible?
\nSure, God can trump science. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:39:56,920 –> 00:40:00,360
\nCould he have chosen just to
\nflood the Middle East, where all<\/p>\n
705
\n00:40:00,360 –> 00:40:02,160
\nthe humans were?
\nAnd maybe that explains why <\/p>\n
706
\n00:40:02,160 –> 00:40:04,440
\nthere’s diversity as a species
\naround the planet. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:40:05,000 –> 00:40:07,040
\nCould have done that too.
\nThere’s a lot of things God <\/p>\n
708
\n00:40:07,040 –> 00:40:08,600
\ncould have done.
\nThe animals weren’t the problem.<\/p>\n
709
\n00:40:09,600 –> 00:40:12,400
\nSo we don’t have to argue with
\nthe science that suggests one, <\/p>\n
710
\n00:40:12,400 –> 00:40:14,680
\nbecause you can make an argument
\nfor both scientifically, by the <\/p>\n
711
\n00:40:14,680 –> 00:40:17,440
\nway, now, neither one of them is
\ngreat, but they both exist. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:40:18,280 –> 00:40:20,360
\nBut as long as I don’t put God
\nin a corner, I can understand. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:40:20,360 –> 00:40:21,480
\nI can say, hey, all the humans
\ndied. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:40:21,480 –> 00:40:24,640
\nGod wins, and now it doesn’t
\nmatter because in the Kingdom <\/p>\n
715
\n00:40:24,640 –> 00:40:26,400
\nage, there’s probably an answer
\nto that. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:40:26,440 –> 00:40:28,480
\nI have no doubt that God’s going
\nto say, hey, Dennis, here’s what<\/p>\n
717
\n00:40:28,480 –> 00:40:30,080
\nI did.
\nOh, that’s kind of cool. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:40:30,480 –> 00:40:32,840
\nBut I never said God couldn’t do
\nthis or God couldn’t do that. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:40:32,840 –> 00:40:35,680
\nGod could do anything, so let’s
\nnot pin him in a corner so small<\/p>\n
720
\n00:40:35,680 –> 00:40:38,160
\nwe can understand it.
\nWe’ll get a very profound <\/p>\n
721
\n00:40:38,160 –> 00:40:41,960
\nexample of that tomorrow.
\nAnd so here’s our title verse <\/p>\n
722
\n00:40:41,960 –> 00:40:45,280
\nthus didn’t know according to
\nall, not most, not some, not a <\/p>\n
723
\n00:40:45,280 –> 00:40:48,360
\nfew of the good things that he
\nfound all that God commanded <\/p>\n
724
\n00:40:48,360 –> 00:40:49,440
\nhim.
\nSo he did. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:40:49,880 –> 00:40:52,240
\nAnd so that’s the closing
\nstatement from warning to <\/p>\n
726
\n00:40:52,240 –> 00:40:54,880
\npreparation.
\nGod gives him a warning, He <\/p>\n
727
\n00:40:54,880 –> 00:40:58,480
\ngives him instructions and they
\nfollow all that God had <\/p>\n
728
\n00:40:58,480 –> 00:41:00,640
\ncommanded.
\nAnd therein lies the instruction<\/p>\n
729
\n00:41:00,640 –> 00:41:02,880
\nto us.
\nWe have a Thus saith the Lord. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:41:02,880 –> 00:41:05,360
\nDebate is over.
\nThat’s what we do without a Thus<\/p>\n
731
\n00:41:05,360 –> 00:41:07,000
\nsaith the Lord.
\nWe work together to do what we <\/p>\n
732
\n00:41:07,000 –> 00:41:11,200
\nthink is decent in an order.
\nNow we mentioned earlier in this<\/p>\n
733
\n00:41:11,200 –> 00:41:13,400
\nclass we would close with some
\ngenealogy because I saw <\/p>\n
734
\n00:41:13,400 –> 00:41:15,640
\neverybody get excited when I
\nsaid Genesis chapter 5. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:41:16,520 –> 00:41:18,840
\nSo we’re going to conclude our
\nthoughts this morning in Matthew<\/p>\n
736
\n00:41:18,840 –> 00:41:23,640
\nChapter 1.
\nMatthew, Chapter 1. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:41:23,840 –> 00:41:27,640
\nThe first verse says the book of
\nthe generation of Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n
738
\n00:41:27,640 –> 00:41:29,760
\nthe son of David, the son of
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:41:30,560 –> 00:41:32,800
\nThis is the opening verse of the
\nNew Testament. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:41:33,440 –> 00:41:36,080
\nSo there’s some details that I
\nthink are highly relevant. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:41:36,080 –> 00:41:38,320
\nRemember, we keep talking about
\nthe influence of the early parts<\/p>\n
742
\n00:41:38,320 –> 00:41:40,320
\nof Genesis.
\nLet’s make sure we see them <\/p>\n
743
\n00:41:40,320 –> 00:41:45,920
\nhere.
\nThis phrase, the generations, <\/p>\n
744
\n00:41:46,040 –> 00:41:51,640
\nappears 14 times in the Bible.
\nAnother. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:41:51,640 –> 00:41:53,280
\nOne of our sevens for our class.
\nTomorrow. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:41:53,760 –> 00:41:59,120
\nBut only twice in the Bible do
\nwe have a book of the <\/p>\n
747
\n00:41:59,120 –> 00:42:01,040
\ngenerations.
\nOnly two of them are noted as a <\/p>\n
748
\n00:42:01,040 –> 00:42:03,040
\nbook.
\nThe. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:42:03,040 –> 00:42:06,800
\nBook of the Generations.
\nOf Jesus Christ in Genesis <\/p>\n
750
\n00:42:06,800 –> 00:42:10,560
\nchapter 5, the book of the
\ngeneration of Adam, the book of <\/p>\n
751
\n00:42:10,560 –> 00:42:16,000
\ndeath, the book of life.
\nWe already quoted this, but it’s<\/p>\n
752
\n00:42:16,000 –> 00:42:18,360
\nprobably worth reading.
\nFirst Corinthians 1522. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:42:18,360 –> 00:42:21,240
\nAs an Adam all die, so in Christ
\nshall all be made alive. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:42:21,240 –> 00:42:26,720
\nAnd that section ends with
\nthings being put in subjection <\/p>\n
755
\n00:42:26,720 –> 00:42:31,280
\nto the Son, that he would be
\nsubject to the Father, that God <\/p>\n
756
\n00:42:31,280 –> 00:42:35,640
\nmay be all and in all, or
\nanother way to say that that we <\/p>\n
757
\n00:42:35,640 –> 00:42:40,800
\nmight Tabernacle with the Father
\nthrough the Son for eternity. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:42:41,840 –> 00:42:44,760
\nIt ties directly to the subdue
\nand add dominion. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:42:44,760 –> 00:42:47,000
\nI have dominion part.
\nI’m getting off topic, but we’ll<\/p>\n
760
\n00:42:47,000 –> 00:42:49,200
\ncircle back there in a couple
\nevenings. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:42:50,200 –> 00:42:56,400
\nNow the Matthew 1 genealogy
\ndetails a line of Jesus in 42 <\/p>\n
762
\n00:42:56,400 –> 00:43:00,080
\ngenerations, which is 14 * 3 if
\nyou’re keeping score. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:43:00,840 –> 00:43:04,120
\nNow can we all?
\nAgree that. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:43:04,120 –> 00:43:07,200
\nEvery time a baby is born, a
\nwoman’s involved. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:43:07,240 –> 00:43:12,120
\nAnyone arguing my premise?
\nOK, so we’re at least. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:43:12,960 –> 00:43:14,960
\nSome of you are arguing.
\nI’m a little nervous, but no. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:43:14,960 –> 00:43:16,360
\nOK.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:43:16,560 –> 00:43:19,560
\nSo if we got 42 babies born,
\nthat means at least 42 women <\/p>\n
769
\n00:43:19,560 –> 00:43:22,560
\nhere are now involved.
\nAnd we mentioned in genealogies <\/p>\n
770
\n00:43:22,560 –> 00:43:25,160
\nthat the name of the woman is
\nembedded in the name of the <\/p>\n
771
\n00:43:25,160 –> 00:43:33,080
\nhusband calling their name Adam.
\nSo why then are 5. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:43:33,160 –> 00:43:39,080
\nThe number of Grace women called
\nout by name in Matthew 1? <\/p>\n
773
\n00:43:40,160 –> 00:43:42,080
\nWhy that makes their name
\nredundant? <\/p>\n
774
\n00:43:42,440 –> 00:43:46,000
\nIf their name is embedded in the
\nname of their husband, why then <\/p>\n
775
\n00:43:46,000 –> 00:43:52,640
\nwe have five of them mentioned
\ntwice, called out by name the <\/p>\n
776
\n00:43:52,640 –> 00:43:55,080
\nnumber of grace.
\nNow the. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:43:55,080 –> 00:43:58,320
\nClue to the Bible student.
\nIs anytime you have a seemingly <\/p>\n
778
\n00:43:58,320 –> 00:44:01,160
\ninsignificant detail, that is
\nyour clue that there’s something<\/p>\n
779
\n00:44:01,160 –> 00:44:02,560
\nsignificant there.
\nGet out your shovel. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:44:02,680 –> 00:44:06,320
\nThere’s something cool to find.
\nAnd so we find a seemingly <\/p>\n
781
\n00:44:06,320 –> 00:44:10,840
\ninsignificant detail and we say,
\nhmm, well, let’s look at. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:44:10,840 –> 00:44:13,840
\nThose 5 because see if.
\nI was writing a genealogy of <\/p>\n
783
\n00:44:13,840 –> 00:44:16,400
\nJesus.
\nI might throw people like Sarah.<\/p>\n
784
\n00:44:16,880 –> 00:44:20,440
\nModel marriage, maybe Eve.
\nThat’s where it all started, <\/p>\n
785
\n00:44:21,080 –> 00:44:22,640
\nLeah, one of my personal
\nfavorites. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:44:22,640 –> 00:44:25,960
\nThere’s a number we could go and
\nhey, that’s a great 1, Dennis, <\/p>\n
787
\n00:44:25,960 –> 00:44:29,160
\ngood job.
\nBut that’s not who God picks <\/p>\n
788
\n00:44:29,560 –> 00:44:32,840
\nunder inspiration.
\nWe have 5 women, all of which <\/p>\n
789
\n00:44:32,840 –> 00:44:35,880
\ncome from an obscure background.
\nLet’s look at them. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:44:36,600 –> 00:44:41,560
\nMatthew chapter one, verse 3.
\nJudas begat Phares and Zerah of <\/p>\n
791
\n00:44:41,560 –> 00:44:45,960
\nTamar.
\nSo Tamar, she played the harlot,<\/p>\n
792
\n00:44:47,240 –> 00:44:50,040
\nbut she became a mother in
\nIsrael and she was declared <\/p>\n
793
\n00:44:50,040 –> 00:44:53,280
\nrighteous in the process.
\nThen we get to verse 5. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:44:53,280 –> 00:44:57,080
\nSolomon begat Boaz of Rahab and
\nBoaz begat Obed of Ruth. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:44:57,320 –> 00:45:00,680
\nSo Rahab, Oh, you mean the
\nharlot of Jericho? <\/p>\n
796
\n00:45:00,680 –> 00:45:02,520
\nHow you like that?
\nEvery time we say Rahab, we <\/p>\n
797
\n00:45:02,520 –> 00:45:05,560
\nalmost give it her last name,
\nRahab, the harlot of Jericho. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:45:06,520 –> 00:45:13,040
\nRahab was the harlot of Jericho,
\nbut she became why a mother in <\/p>\n
799
\n00:45:13,040 –> 00:45:15,800
\nIsrael and she raised a pillar
\nin the truth for one of two <\/p>\n
800
\n00:45:15,800 –> 00:45:18,280
\npillars in the temple are named
\nafter her son Boaz. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:45:19,680 –> 00:45:23,760
\nThen we have Ruth she who left
\nthat was born after the flesh <\/p>\n
802
\n00:45:23,760 –> 00:45:26,560
\nbecause that’s what Moab means,
\nborn after the flesh to be <\/p>\n
803
\n00:45:26,560 –> 00:45:30,360
\nunited with the House of bread
\nand praise, delivering probably <\/p>\n
804
\n00:45:30,360 –> 00:45:33,400
\nthe most beautiful recorded
\nconfession of faith in <\/p>\n
805
\n00:45:33,400 –> 00:45:36,320
\nScripture.
\nShe then becomes united to a <\/p>\n
806
\n00:45:36,320 –> 00:45:42,720
\npillar in the temple and why she
\nbecomes a mother in Israel. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:45:42,720 –> 00:45:45,560
\nDo you see a trend here?
\nYou get to. <\/p>\n
808
\n00:45:45,560 –> 00:45:46,920
\nVerse 6.
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:45:46,920 –> 00:45:49,880
\nThe king begat Solomon of he of
\nher that had been the wife of <\/p>\n
810
\n00:45:49,880 –> 00:45:54,920
\nUriah Bathsheba by name, which
\nwe won’t divert the class into. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:45:54,920 –> 00:45:56,960
\nWhy is Uriah mentioned here?
\nI think there’s a really cool <\/p>\n
812
\n00:45:56,960 –> 00:46:01,960
\nanswer to that, but I digress.
\nFocus on Bathsheba who was taken<\/p>\n
813
\n00:46:01,960 –> 00:46:06,280
\nin adultery but became the
\nmother of a king. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:46:06,840 –> 00:46:10,440
\nShe raised the wisest man that
\never lived, save our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
815
\n00:46:10,440 –> 00:46:13,120
\nChrist.
\nAnd in her husband David and her<\/p>\n
816
\n00:46:13,120 –> 00:46:16,760
\nson Solomon, we have wonderful
\ntypes of Jesus Christ, the <\/p>\n
817
\n00:46:16,760 –> 00:46:20,800
\nbeloved and peaceable.
\nOh, and how about the last one? <\/p>\n
818
\n00:46:22,560 –> 00:46:24,240
\nJoseph brought up the story last
\nnight. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:46:26,000 –> 00:46:29,440
\nJacob begot Joseph, the husband
\nof Mary, of whom was born Jesus,<\/p>\n
820
\n00:46:29,440 –> 00:46:32,800
\nwhich is called Christ.
\nAnd you and I read that. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:46:32,800 –> 00:46:35,480
\nAnd we easily accept the virgin
\nbirth. <\/p>\n
822
\n00:46:35,480 –> 00:46:37,120
\nWe don’t challenge it.
\nWe’re not questioning it. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:46:37,480 –> 00:46:39,600
\nWe accept it.
\nIt’s part of what we understand.<\/p>\n
824
\n00:46:40,680 –> 00:46:43,880
\nBut if you pause for just a
\nmoment and behind this wall, <\/p>\n
825
\n00:46:43,880 –> 00:46:48,480
\nyou’ve got about 10:00-ish
\nwomen, 1416 range. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:46:48,920 –> 00:46:51,640
\nAnd imagine if one of them came
\nover, interrupted this class and<\/p>\n
827
\n00:46:51,640 –> 00:46:54,480
\nsaid, mom, dad, I didn’t do
\nanything wrong, but I’m <\/p>\n
828
\n00:46:54,480 –> 00:46:55,800
\npregnant.
\nGod did it. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:46:57,520 –> 00:46:58,040
\nAnd.
\nWe’re all. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:46:58,040 –> 00:47:00,160
\nOh, that’s probably.
\nExactly what happened, We can <\/p>\n
831
\n00:47:00,160 –> 00:47:02,400
\nsay no.
\nWe would think she’s an apparent<\/p>\n
832
\n00:47:02,400 –> 00:47:05,600
\nfornicator, which is exactly
\nwhat everyone else would have <\/p>\n
833
\n00:47:05,600 –> 00:47:11,400
\nthought when Mary was somewhere
\nbetween 12 and 16 is now with <\/p>\n
834
\n00:47:11,400 –> 00:47:16,200
\nchild she’s engaged to.
\nOh, that even makes it more <\/p>\n
835
\n00:47:16,200 –> 00:47:21,000
\nheinous.
\nBut yet she. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:47:21,000 –> 00:47:27,000
\nWas handpicked by God as an
\nearly teenager to raise his Son <\/p>\n
837
\n00:47:27,160 –> 00:47:29,960
\nto perfection.
\nThe clear. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:47:29,960 –> 00:47:33,400
\nMessage in this genealogy.
\nIt is not where you have come <\/p>\n
839
\n00:47:33,400 –> 00:47:37,120
\nfrom.
\nIt is not who you are, It is not<\/p>\n
840
\n00:47:37,120 –> 00:47:40,960
\nwhat you have done, it’s not
\nyour background, your genealogy,<\/p>\n
841
\n00:47:40,960 –> 00:47:44,080
\nyour heritage, none of that
\nactually matters. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:47:44,400 –> 00:47:47,400
\nIt is where you are going that
\nmatters. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:47:47,880 –> 00:47:52,520
\nEach one of these has an obscure
\nbackground, but they were all <\/p>\n
844
\n00:47:52,520 –> 00:47:54,880
\nunited in glory leading to our
\nLord. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:47:55,720 –> 00:47:59,480
\nSo let us look to the great
\narchitect of our faith and be <\/p>\n
846
\n00:47:59,480 –> 00:48:03,040
\nlike those before us.
\nTo turn to our God is our only <\/p>\n
847
\n00:48:03,040 –> 00:48:06,200
\nhope and God.
\nAnd we’ll close with our last <\/p>\n
848
\n00:48:06,200 –> 00:48:08,920
\nquote.
\nPsalm 110. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:48:10,480 –> 00:48:12,600
\nMake a joyful noise unto the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:48:12,600 –> 00:48:15,680
\nAll ye lands, serve the Lord
\nwith gladness. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:48:16,000 –> 00:48:18,000
\nCome before His presence with
\nsinging. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:48:18,480 –> 00:48:20,480
\nKnow ye that the Lord, He is
\nGod. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:48:20,600 –> 00:48:23,160
\nIt is He that made us, and not
\nwe ourselves. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:48:23,800 –> 00:48:26,520
\nWe are His people, and the sheep
\nof His pasture. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:48:27,840 –> 00:48:30,200
\nEnter into His gates with
\nThanksgiving, and into His <\/p>\n
856
\n00:48:30,200 –> 00:48:32,880
\ncourts with praise.
\nBe thankful unto Him and bless <\/p>\n
857
\n00:48:32,880 –> 00:48:37,360
\nHis name, for the Lord is good,
\nHis mercy is. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:48:37,360 –> 00:48:40,760
\nEverlasting.
\nAnd His truth endureth to all <\/p>\n
