Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 398.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,120 –> 00:00:06,560
\nmorning program for Friday, July
\n8th, 2022. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,440 –> 00:00:10,800
\nOur third speaker this morning
\nis Brother Dennis Bevins from <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:15,000
\nthe Austin Leander, TX Ecclesia.
\nThe theme for Brother Dennis’s <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,000 –> 00:00:19,080
\nclasses this week is Noah,
\nSaving Your Family in a Dark <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:19,080 –> 00:00:22,320
\nWorld.
\nToday’s class is entitled Christ<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:22,320 –> 00:00:26,160
\nin the Ark, Genesis 8.
\nWe’ll now give our attention to <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:26,160 –> 00:00:32,000
\nyou, Brother Dennis.
\nAlso amongst learning <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:35,200
\nopportunities for Dennis, a
\nnumber of you have asked me a. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:35,200 –> 00:00:38,680
\nLittle bit if I was going to
\ntalk about the pitch word where <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:38,680 –> 00:00:40,920
\nit was covered within and
\nwithout with pitch and tying it <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:40,920 –> 00:00:45,600
\nto the atonement and the answer.
\nWas no, I didn’t intend to, but <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:48,800
\nwe can.
\nAnd the reason I didn’t intend <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:48,800 –> 00:00:53,360
\nto was because that’s really a
\nfull other conversation tying <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:53,360 –> 00:00:55,160
\ninto the atonement.
\nI know Brother Joseph has been <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:55,160 –> 00:00:59,120
\ndoing that in the first class,
\nbut perhaps it did deserve an <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:59,120 –> 00:01:01,600
\nhonorable mention and I didn’t
\nbother doing that, so here it <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:01,600 –> 00:01:02,680
\nis.
\nSo while you’re editing my <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:02,680 –> 00:01:05,400
\nstuff, just throw this back
\naround Chapter 6, verse 14. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:09,720
\nBe great.
\nBut the the contact, the concept<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:11,440
\nis it’s the first time the word
\nis used. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:11,440 –> 00:01:14,520
\nIt’s normally translated.
\nAtonement is the word pitch and <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:14,520 –> 00:01:17,720
\nit means a covering and it
\nimplies reconciliation and <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:17,720 –> 00:01:20,920
\nforgiveness, which is why the
\nword is used and translated as <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:23,640
\natonement.
\nAnd something I hadn’t thought <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:23,640 –> 00:01:25,760
\nof before, but this might not
\nhave been a bad idea. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:25,760 –> 00:01:27,840
\nPerhaps it would have been
\nbetter to do another class on <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:30,200
\nthe atonement rather than the
\none we did on Babel. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:33,240
\nI’m not sure, but since most of
\nwhat I did yesterday would be <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:33,240 –> 00:01:36,840
\nqualified as Babel, maybe not
\nOK. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:38,920 –> 00:01:41,040
\nSo Christ in the Ark.
\nI hope you enjoyed our little <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:41,040 –> 00:01:43,520
\nintermission.
\nWe’re going to go back to the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:43,520 –> 00:01:46,200
\nchronological account in Genesis
\nand we’re going to add some <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:46,200 –> 00:01:48,120
\nsevens.
\nI did hear someone say I thought<\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:48,120 –> 00:01:50,440
\nyou’d have a lot more sevens
\nthan you actually did. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:50,440 –> 00:01:53,480
\nWell, that’s the disadvantage of
\nbreaking them up by chapters <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:53,480 –> 00:01:56,120
\nbecause there are a lot more.
\nThe story’s not over, just <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:56,120 –> 00:01:59,440
\nChapter 7 is over, but the 7th
\nas the theme is not. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:01:59,440 –> 00:02:02,560
\nSo we’ll continue that as well.
\nAnd our focus today is going to <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:02,560 –> 00:02:06,480
\nbe seeing examples or shadows
\nthat represent Christ in our <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:10,240
\nstory.
\nWe really if, if this were a <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:13,120
\nstudy weekend, this would be our
\nexhortation. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:13,760 –> 00:02:17,240
\nNow in the the grand scheme of
\nthing, our God is calling about <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:17,440 –> 00:02:20,360
\ncalling out of people for His
\nname to be redeemed by the <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:20,360 –> 00:02:24,120
\nprecious blood of His Son.
\nAnd Jesus keeps our interest on <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:24,120 –> 00:02:26,240
\nthis account, as we’ve done
\nmultiple times. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:26,520 –> 00:02:28,040
\nAnd we’re not going to read this
\nverse again. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:28,040 –> 00:02:30,560
\nWe may have it memorized by now,
\nbut I do want you to focus a <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:30,560 –> 00:02:35,560
\nlittle bit on where it is Luke
\n1726 and 27, because we’re going<\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:35,560 –> 00:02:37,920
\nto go back to this.
\nChapter in a minute and I think <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:37,920 –> 00:02:39,680
\nit’ll be relevant to build on
\nthat. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:46,320
\nGenesis chapter 8 verse one.
\nGod remembered Noah and every <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:46,320 –> 00:02:48,760
\nliving thing and all the cattle
\nthat was with him in the ark, <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:48,760 –> 00:02:51,840
\nand God made a wind to pass over
\nthe earth and the waters. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:51,840 –> 00:02:53,640
\nAssuaged.
\nThat’s another word we use a <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:53,640 –> 00:02:56,520
\nlot.
\nAssuaged just means to be still <\/p>\n
57
\n00:02:57,000 –> 00:02:58,360
\nnow the word.
\nWind in the. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:02:58,360 –> 00:03:01,600
\nHebrew was ruach, so it’s the
\nsame word translated spirit in <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:01,600 –> 00:03:04,280
\nGenesis 1 and 2 that the Spirit
\nof God moved upon to face the <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:04,280 –> 00:03:07,200
\nwaters.
\nAnd the word spirit we all know <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:10,000
\nis a reference to really the
\npower of God. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:13,920
\nAnd the reason wind is used to
\ndescribe the power of God is <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:13,920 –> 00:03:16,920
\nbecause we can see its effects,
\nbut we can’t see it. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:17,120 –> 00:03:20,760
\nFor example, we walk out, the
\ntrees are moving, the leaves are<\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:20,760 –> 00:03:23,920
\nblowing, we don’t see the wind,
\nbut we can absolutely see the <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:23,920 –> 00:03:26,400
\neffects of the wind.
\nAnd that’s God’s invisible power<\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:27,040 –> 00:03:29,000
\ndirecting the movement of the
\ntree. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:32,120
\nAnd that power goes beyond just
\nwhat we see is the wind, but <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:32,120 –> 00:03:34,680
\nrather his hand of God at work
\nin the world. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:35,440 –> 00:03:37,760
\nSo when we look at Genesis
\nchapter 8 now as we introduce <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:41,480
\nthis, we have God remembered.
\nBecause of the way we. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:41,480 –> 00:03:44,640
\nThink as human beings, when we
\nremember, like I did last night,<\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:44,640 –> 00:03:47,360
\nit was I forgot.
\nI know there’s something I’m <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:47,360 –> 00:03:50,520
\nsupposed to do, and that’s not
\nwhat we should be picturing here<\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:52,440
\nwith our Father.
\nGod was not going. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:03:52,440 –> 00:03:55,040
\nI know I had something I was
\nsupposed to do today. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:03:56,080 –> 00:03:59,320
\nWhatever could it be, He did
\nnot. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:03:59,320 –> 00:04:01,680
\nForget this family He had
\nmarked. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:01,880 –> 00:04:04,720
\nHe had marked them.
\nSo we can compare this chapter <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:04,720 –> 00:04:07,800
\n19 verse 29, which is going to
\nbe the next slide for the same <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:12,000
\nconcept.
\nWhere God looked towards Sodom <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:15,920
\nand Gomorrah, and toward all the
\nland of the plain, and beheld <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:16,160 –> 00:04:17,519
\nsorry, and he looked towards
\nthis is. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:17,519 –> 00:04:19,959
\nReferring to Lot toward all the
\nland of the plain. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:19,959 –> 00:04:23,120
\nAnd beheld, and lo, the smoke
\nthe country went as the smoke of<\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:23,120 –> 00:04:24,360
\na furnace.
\nAnd it came to pass. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:26,000
\nWhen God had destroyed the
\ncities of the plain. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:26,320 –> 00:04:30,720
\nGod remembered Abraham.
\nSame word He remembered or <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:32,960
\nmarked the commitment He had
\nmade to Abraham. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:33,640 –> 00:04:36,640
\nAnd sent Lot out of the midst of
\nthe overthrow when he overthrew <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:36,640 –> 00:04:39,520
\nthe cities in which Lot dwelt.
\nSo it’s interesting words that <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:39,520 –> 00:04:44,160
\nwe get to see this remembering
\nor this marking a reminder you <\/p>\n
93
\n00:04:44,160 –> 00:04:46,440
\nand I might in modern day.
\nSo we set an alarm for <\/p>\n
94
\n00:04:46,440 –> 00:04:47,120
\nourselves.
\nToo. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:04:47,120 –> 00:04:49,120
\nOh yeah, it’s time to take care
\nof that family on the boat. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:52,880
\nWell, same thing takes place as
\nhe remembered the commitment he <\/p>\n
97
\n00:04:52,880 –> 00:04:57,240
\nmade to Abraham and he delivered
\nLot as he said he would. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:04:57,640 –> 00:05:00,400
\nAnd it’s interesting that those
\ntwo words connect these stories,<\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:00,840 –> 00:05:03,640
\njust as our Lord Jesus does in
\nLuke chapter 17. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:07,840
\nSo we’ve read those few verses
\nbefore a number of times. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:08,200 –> 00:05:10,760
\nWe’re going to continue now
\npicking up at verse 20. 8 <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:11,080 –> 00:05:14,120
\nlikewise also as it was in the
\ndays of lot, they did eat, they <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:14,120 –> 00:05:16,080
\ndrank, they bought, they sold,
\nthey planted, they build it <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:16,240 –> 00:05:17,720
\nagain.
\nWe have a list of things that <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:17,720 –> 00:05:20,800
\nare not necessarily.
\nBad on themselves, but the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:25,040
\nmissing ingredient is God.
\nThe same day that lot went out <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:25,040 –> 00:05:27,960
\nof Sodom, it rained fire and
\nbrimstone from heaven and <\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:27,960 –> 00:05:28,840
\ndestroyed them.
\nAll. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:29,920 –> 00:05:33,160
\nSo it’s the same response that
\nhe added as it was in the days <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:33,160 –> 00:05:36,400
\nof Noah, so will it be in the
\ndays of the coming of the Son of<\/p>\n
111
\n00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:39,240
\nMan, he adds, as it was in the
\ndays. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:05:39,760 –> 00:05:43,200
\nOf Sodom and Gomorrah.
\nWell, what was it like in Lot’s <\/p>\n
113
\n00:05:43,200 –> 00:05:45,280
\nday?
\nCan we find some of that <\/p>\n
114
\n00:05:45,280 –> 00:05:49,160
\nevidence in our day?
\nIn Lot’s day we have violence, <\/p>\n
115
\n00:05:49,280 –> 00:05:54,520
\nself-service, homosexuality,
\npolitical upheaval, disregard <\/p>\n
116
\n00:05:54,520 –> 00:05:58,880
\nfor God’s, for God in his word,
\neating, drinking. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:05:59,400 –> 00:06:04,240
\nMarrying, buying, planting,
\nbuilding and. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:04,240 –> 00:06:07,800
\nOthers.
\nBut we can see our day in the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:12,000
\nnews, can we not?
\nIn fact, I gave this talk at <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:12,000 –> 00:06:13,600
\nSouthwest Bible School last
\nyear. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:15,600
\nAnd one of the sisters
\nafterwards when I made the <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:15,600 –> 00:06:18,880
\ncomment of if, if people from
\nSodom and Gomorrah could see our<\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:20,440
\nday and feel at home, wouldn’t
\nthey? <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:21,160 –> 00:06:25,040
\nAnd she had said, you know, I
\nimagine if people from Sodom <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:25,040 –> 00:06:28,400
\ncame to us that they might even
\nsay we didn’t even think of some<\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:32,520
\nof this stuff.
\nIt’s kind of sad, but it is <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:32,520 –> 00:06:33,880
\nscary.
\nAnd I thought, well, I hadn’t <\/p>\n
128
\n00:06:33,880 –> 00:06:36,120
\nthought of that, but that’s
\ngood, so now you can think of it<\/p>\n
129
\n00:06:36,120 –> 00:06:38,560
\ntoo.
\nTo even make this more poignant,<\/p>\n
130
\n00:06:39,200 –> 00:06:42,640
\nkeep reading the next verse.
\nWell, the next slide at least. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:06:42,640 –> 00:06:46,400
\nI skipped a couple of verses.
\nRemember Lot’s wife? <\/p>\n
132
\n00:06:47,680 –> 00:06:51,240
\nVery short verse.
\nRemember Lot’s wife. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:54,120
\nWhosoever shall sake to save his
\nlife shall lose it, but <\/p>\n
134
\n00:06:54,120 –> 00:06:56,440
\nwhosoever shall lose his life
\nshall preserve it. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:06:56,760 –> 00:07:00,120
\nNow, when we say this, we recall
\nLot’s wife. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:00,520 –> 00:07:04,400
\nI think we have the natural
\ntendency to think of her as a <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:04,400 –> 00:07:09,080
\nbad human being when we do this.
\nAnd we go, oh, she was worried <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:09,080 –> 00:07:13,520
\nabout, there’s my furniture,
\nI’ve lost my favorite couch. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:13,760 –> 00:07:16,720
\nWhatever shall we do with the
\nloss of our camels? <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:17,080 –> 00:07:20,040
\nAnd we make her almost
\nmaterialistic by thinking she <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:20,040 –> 00:07:22,280
\nlooked back on what she had left
\nbehind. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:22,920 –> 00:07:26,040
\nNow it is true that she looked
\nback on what she had left <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:26,040 –> 00:07:29,880
\nbehind, but I think we devalue
\nher suffering when we do that. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:31,120 –> 00:07:35,120
\nMore important than losing the
\nthings she owned, she also would<\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:39,040
\nhave lost the things she loved.
\nWe know for certain she lost <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:39,040 –> 00:07:40,920
\nchildren because we know at
\nleast two of her. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:40,920 –> 00:07:44,000
\nChildren were married and they
\nmocked a lot when he said it, so<\/p>\n
148
\n00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:47,760
\nwe know she lost two children.
\nAt least we know those children <\/p>\n
149
\n00:07:47,760 –> 00:07:50,360
\nwere married, so perhaps she
\nlost grandchildren as well. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:07:51,160 –> 00:07:55,200
\nShe likely lost brothers,
\nsisters and parents. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:07:55,920 –> 00:08:00,320
\nSee if if we look at lot follow.
\nThis in the Genesis record Lot <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:05,720
\nsees the plain that it’s well
\nwatered Moses commentary like <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:09,440
\nthe garden of God.
\nAnd then the next time we see <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:09,520 –> 00:08:12,200
\nLot pitches his tent towards
\nSodom. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:15,600
\nSo it looks good.
\nNow he’s going in that direction<\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:20,400
\nand then we find him at the gate
\nof the city and married. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:20,760 –> 00:08:25,240
\nThe first mention of law is a
\nmarried man is after he’s in the<\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:25,240 –> 00:08:27,960
\ncity of Sodom.
\nPerhaps he married a woman of <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:27,960 –> 00:08:31,720
\nSodom, which would have not only
\nput her and her children and <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:31,720 –> 00:08:35,799
\nmaybe grandchildren tying to
\nlot, but if that were true, it <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:35,799 –> 00:08:37,919
\nputs her entire family in that
\ncity. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:38,120 –> 00:08:40,919
\nSo when she looks back, she’s
\nnot looking at the things she <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:40,919 –> 00:08:43,400
\nhas lost.
\nShe is looking at the people she<\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:43,400 –> 00:08:46,280
\nhas lost.
\nAnd given the context that our <\/p>\n
165
\n00:08:46,280 –> 00:08:49,880
\nLord Jesus combines this story
\nwith Noah, I find it very <\/p>\n
166
\n00:08:49,880 –> 00:08:52,240
\nfitting that that would be an
\nappropriate reason to look back.<\/p>\n
167
\n00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:58,280
\nIt’s even more important than as
\nwe see lot and we saw. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:08:58,280 –> 00:09:01,760
\nNoah.
\nBut our Lord puts them together <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:02,480 –> 00:09:04,440
\njust to make sure we know what’s
\nat stake. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:05,440 –> 00:09:07,120
\nThis is what he says in Matthew
\n10. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:08,280 –> 00:09:11,080
\nHe that loveth father and mother
\nmore than me is not worthy of <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:11,080 –> 00:09:13,520
\nme.
\nHe that loveth son or daughter <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:13,520 –> 00:09:15,080
\nmore than me is not worthy of
\nme. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:15,080 –> 00:09:17,240
\nCan you imagine having those
\nthoughts in the Ark? <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:17,680 –> 00:09:21,400
\nOr as you are going towards.
\nOr he that taketh not up his <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:24,000
\ncross, and followeth after me is
\nnot worthy of me. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:27,520
\nHe who findeth his life shall
\nlose it, and he that loseth. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:27,520 –> 00:09:29,320
\nHis life, for my sake, shall
\nfind it. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:29,320 –> 00:09:35,160
\nWhere do you hear that?
\nRight after the phrase. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:35,160 –> 00:09:38,240
\nRemember Lot’s wife?
\nThe Lord Jesus ties these two <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:38,240 –> 00:09:41,880
\ntogether and puts them directly
\nin our lap, saying we have to <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:41,880 –> 00:09:45,040
\nput our God first, even if it’s
\nbefore our family. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:49,760
\nSame context.
\nBetween these two stories, so we<\/p>\n
184
\n00:09:49,760 –> 00:09:52,760
\nthink back to Lot’s wife or even
\nto Lot and Noah and Mrs. Noah, <\/p>\n
185
\n00:09:52,760 –> 00:09:54,920
\nwe need to recall the family
\nthey lost in order to follow the<\/p>\n
186
\n00:09:54,920 –> 00:09:58,280
\npath to God.
\nOne is strength to us because <\/p>\n
187
\n00:09:58,280 –> 00:10:02,040
\nnot all of us, all of us have
\nexamples of people in our family<\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:02,040 –> 00:10:03,920
\nthat have turned aside or not
\nhad interest. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:04,640 –> 00:10:09,040
\nIt also lets us know that we are
\nnot alone, that we understand. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:09,040 –> 00:10:12,000
\nWe have a God who not only
\nunderstands us, but he has got <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:12,000 –> 00:10:14,960
\nstories of brothers and sisters
\nin antiquity that we will be <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:14,960 –> 00:10:17,440
\nable to meet in the Kingdom.
\nWhere part of what we can <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:20,760
\ndiscuss is the struggle of
\novercoming the loss of our <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:20,760 –> 00:10:24,640
\nfamily now.
\nThis topic is not just about our<\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:24,640 –> 00:10:28,880
\nsalvation, it’s more importantly
\nabout God’s glory. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:28,880 –> 00:10:31,440
\nSo let’s go back to Genesis and
\nsee if we can follow that line <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:31,440 –> 00:10:36,040
\nthrough the fountains of the
\ndeep and the windows of heaven <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:36,040 –> 00:10:37,960
\nwere stopped.
\nThe rain from heaven was <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:37,960 –> 00:10:38,880
\nrestrained.
\nSo we have the. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:38,880 –> 00:10:42,520
\nReversal of Chapter 7, verse 11.
\nThe waters returned from off the<\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:42,520 –> 00:10:45,800
\nearth continually and after the
\nend of 150 days the waters were <\/p>\n
202
\n00:10:45,800 –> 00:10:47,760
\nabated.
\nSo we have continual. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:10:47,760 –> 00:10:51,320
\nThat’s the Hebrew word of going
\nin and returning. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:10:51,320 –> 00:10:54,360
\nIt almost sounds tidal, doesn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
205
\n00:10:54,960 –> 00:10:56,640
\nWhich makes sense given the
\ncontext. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:10:56,640 –> 00:10:59,280
\nIt’s going, it’s in going and
\nreturning that’s. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:10:59,400 –> 00:11:03,120
\nThe perpetual So what is the
\nprimary force that affects the <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:03,120 –> 00:11:05,760
\ntides?
\nThe moon. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:05,760 –> 00:11:08,240
\nOh, we introduced this one last
\nnight, didn’t we? <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:10,800
\nLet’s focus on the moon just a
\nlittle bit, we. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:11,360 –> 00:11:15,000
\nOther than the sun, it’s the
\nbrightest focal point in our <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:15,000 –> 00:11:17,160
\nuniverse.
\nFrom the perspective of this <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:17,160 –> 00:11:21,600
\nplanet, it’s a constant.
\nA constant from the perspective <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:21,600 –> 00:11:24,320
\nof this planet without.
\nThe light and warmth of the sun.<\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:24,320 –> 00:11:26,000
\nThere would be no life on this
\nplanet. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:27,120 –> 00:11:30,480
\nBut notice the Genesis record
\nincludes something lesser of the<\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:30,480 –> 00:11:33,080
\nlight to rule the darkness of
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:36,400
\nAnd we call that the moon.
\nSo we get to see in the Genesis <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,240
\nrecord just an example which we
\ntied to Jesus last night, if you<\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:40,240 –> 00:11:42,520
\ncan somehow remember anything
\npositive from that. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:11:43,080 –> 00:11:46,160
\nWe tied that specifically to
\nJesus, and now we’re going to. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:11:46,160 –> 00:11:48,840
\nFocus on Jesus as the moon and
\nwhat that means to us. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:11:49,480 –> 00:11:52,480
\nWhat do we know about the moon?
\nWe’ve mentioned it has no light <\/p>\n
224
\n00:11:52,480 –> 00:11:54,080
\nof its own.
\nIt’s a giant reflector in the <\/p>\n
225
\n00:11:54,080 –> 00:11:55,600
\nsky.
\nAnd that has helped us <\/p>\n
226
\n00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:57,840
\nunderstand things like Jesus
\nsaying, if you’ve seen me, <\/p>\n
227
\n00:11:58,000 –> 00:12:00,200
\nyou’ve seen the Father because
\nhe was a walking, breathing <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:03,400
\nreflection of God’s glory.
\nAnd you and I want to be the <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:03,400 –> 00:12:06,560
\nbride that seeks fellowship with
\nthese two great lights, the <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:06,560 –> 00:12:09,800
\nFather and the Son.
\nAs the bride preparing to one <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:09,800 –> 00:12:11,800
\nwith Jesus.
\nWe need to reflect the glory of <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,080
\nthe Father through the face of
\nJesus so we can tie ourselves to<\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:15,080 –> 00:12:20,720
\nthe same concept.
\nNow notice the difference <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:21,560 –> 00:12:23,640
\nbetween a full moon, as we would
\ncall it. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:23,680 –> 00:12:26,240
\nWell, the moon doesn’t like get
\ncut into half on days when it’s <\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:26,240 –> 00:12:29,520
\nnot a full moon.
\nThe moon’s always full, but from<\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:29,520 –> 00:12:32,920
\nfrom the perspective of the
\nEarth, the moon can be shadowed <\/p>\n
238
\n00:12:33,680 –> 00:12:35,800
\nwhen it gets the Earth in the
\nway. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:12:36,080 –> 00:12:40,480
\nOf the path of the light from
\nthe sun to us or to the moon. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:40,480 –> 00:12:42,040
\nSorry, the Earth gets in the
\nway. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:12:42,320 –> 00:12:44,880
\nAnd we did use this slide last
\nnight, so you have seen this one<\/p>\n
242
\n00:12:44,880 –> 00:12:48,080
\nbefore.
\nAnd this is what made Jesus the <\/p>\n
243
\n00:12:48,080 –> 00:12:49,440
\nperfect reflection of the
\nFather. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:52,040
\nThe world never got in the way.
\nAll that is in the world, the <\/p>\n
245
\n00:12:52,040 –> 00:12:54,120
\nlust of the flesh, lust of the
\neyes, pride of life is not of <\/p>\n
246
\n00:12:54,120 –> 00:12:58,160
\nthe Father, but of the world.
\nAnd though He was tempted in all<\/p>\n
247
\n00:12:58,160 –> 00:13:01,560
\npoints, like as we are, He was
\nable to navigate around that <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:01,560 –> 00:13:04,800
\ntemptation and back to the glory
\nof the Father without ever <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:07,040
\ngiving in to those temptations
\nthat He did have. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:08,160 –> 00:13:11,920
\nThe difference between Jesus and
\nyou and I is we do not do that <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:11,920 –> 00:13:14,200
\nto perfection.
\nThere are times when our life. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:14,480 –> 00:13:17,200
\nIs a full moon.
\nWe’re at a Bible school <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:19,400
\ntogether.
\nThis is a spiritual high for us,<\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:19,400 –> 00:13:21,800
\nand we feel connected to our
\nFather. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:22,720 –> 00:13:25,560
\nBut then there are times in our
\nlife when that connection has <\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:25,560 –> 00:13:26,880
\nsome interference with the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:26,880 –> 00:13:30,040
\nAnd whether it’s things in our
\nwork or things in our family, <\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:30,280 –> 00:13:32,760
\nthings in the meeting, things
\nwith our health, there are a <\/p>\n
259
\n00:13:32,760 –> 00:13:36,360
\nvariety of things in this world
\nthat can distract us from <\/p>\n
260
\n00:13:36,360 –> 00:13:38,040
\nsurfacing the glory of the
\nFather. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:13:39,160 –> 00:13:42,360
\nMaybe sometimes it’s half and
\nhalf, sometimes it’s that <\/p>\n
262
\n00:13:42,360 –> 00:13:44,000
\nlittle.
\nThumbnail that you might see on <\/p>\n
263
\n00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:48,760
\nthat third picture or the one
\nthat’s bottom left from your <\/p>\n
264
\n00:13:48,760 –> 00:13:52,760
\nperspective, we’re just there’s
\na sliver of God left in our life<\/p>\n
265
\n00:13:53,080 –> 00:13:54,440
\nand sadly, it’s sometimes our
\nlife. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:13:54,440 –> 00:13:58,240
\nFeels like an eclipse.
\nThis is one of the beauties of <\/p>\n
267
\n00:13:58,240 –> 00:14:01,680
\necclesial life because it gives
\nyou and I an opportunity to help<\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:01,680 –> 00:14:03,920
\neach other when we’re at all
\nthese stages, because we. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:03,920 –> 00:14:07,600
\nAll have been in and will be in
\nall of these stages. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:08,480 –> 00:14:11,560
\nThe beauty of relationships to
\nthe meeting is me coming away <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:11,560 –> 00:14:14,160
\nfrom 1500 miles popping in.
\nI have no idea what’s. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:14,160 –> 00:14:17,360
\nGoing on in your life?
\nI don’t know if you came here <\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:21,200
\nand you feel like you had to get
\naway to be rescued, or if you <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:23,880
\ncame here and it was a
\ncontinuation of a spiritual high<\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:23,880 –> 00:14:26,920
\nyou’ve been on for a while.
\nI don’t know that, but there is <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:26,920 –> 00:14:28,560
\nsomebody who does in your
\nmeeting. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:29,360 –> 00:14:31,440
\nAnd this is the beauty of that
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:31,440 –> 00:14:36,240
\nBecause if I am on a spiritual
\nhigh, but I know what it’s like <\/p>\n
279
\n00:14:36,240 –> 00:14:41,360
\nto be spiritually depressed, and
\nI know you well, I can eyeball <\/p>\n
280
\n00:14:41,360 –> 00:14:42,920
\nyou and go something’s not
\nright. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:14:44,520 –> 00:14:47,200
\nAnd I need to talk.
\nHey, look, I know you’re <\/p>\n
282
\n00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:50,080
\nstruggling and I can tell
\nbecause I was right where you <\/p>\n
283
\n00:14:50,080 –> 00:14:53,440
\nare last year, two months ago,
\ntwo weeks ago. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:14:53,840 –> 00:14:56,120
\nAnd here’s what I did to help
\nget me through. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:14:56,120 –> 00:14:58,760
\nAnd I want to help.
\nLet’s work together because we <\/p>\n
286
\n00:14:58,760 –> 00:15:00,840
\nwant to walk together towards
\nthe Kingdom to the glory of the <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:00,840 –> 00:15:02,720
\nFather.
\nAnd it’s a much different <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:02,720 –> 00:15:05,000
\nconversation when that person
\nknows you and you know they love<\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:07,360
\nthem.
\nAnd the good news is there’s a <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:07,360 –> 00:15:09,520
\ntime when you’re going to be in
\nthat spiritual though, too. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:09,680 –> 00:15:12,520
\nAnd wouldn’t it be nice if
\nsomebody else saw it and could <\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:12,520 –> 00:15:14,720
\nslap you upside the head in a
\nnice graceful manner? <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:15,440 –> 00:15:18,840
\nAnd say I’ve been where you are.
\nLet’s go to the mountain <\/p>\n
294
\n00:15:18,840 –> 00:15:21,080
\ntogether.
\nThat’s the beauty of working <\/p>\n
295
\n00:15:21,080 –> 00:15:24,280
\ntogether in the in the meeting.
\nSo whenever we see a moon, which<\/p>\n
296
\n00:15:24,280 –> 00:15:28,000
\nshould be just about every day,
\nwe have a reflection to give to <\/p>\n
297
\n00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:30,520
\nus.
\nThe object lesson to examine <\/p>\n
298
\n00:15:30,520 –> 00:15:33,880
\nourself and say, Am I reflecting
\nthe glory of the Father in <\/p>\n
299
\n00:15:33,880 –> 00:15:37,920
\nfullness?
\nAs a partial or as a barely, <\/p>\n
300
\n00:15:38,240 –> 00:15:40,400
\nthis is a good object lesson
\nthat our God has given us to <\/p>\n
301
\n00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:43,000
\nwork with.
\nSo here we have the Moon, who <\/p>\n
302
\n00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:45,680
\nhas control of the tides.
\nNow we have the Bride working <\/p>\n
303
\n00:15:45,680 –> 00:15:48,360
\nwith the Sun, who is control of
\nthe Gentile seas and will <\/p>\n
304
\n00:15:48,360 –> 00:15:49,640
\nconvert the world to
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:51,840
\nThis stuff’s amazing when you
\nstart piercing. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:15:51,840 –> 00:15:55,000
\nThose things together, the
\nimagery that’s put in below the <\/p>\n
307
\n00:15:55,000 –> 00:15:59,840
\nsurface, pun intended.
\nNow let’s have another seven, <\/p>\n
308
\n00:15:59,840 –> 00:16:01,280
\nshall we?
\nVerse 4. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:01,480 –> 00:16:05,200
\nThe Ark rested on the 7th month,
\nthe 17th day of the month on the<\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:05,200 –> 00:16:08,240
\nmountains of Ararat.
\nSo let’s start this the course. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:08,240 –> 00:16:11,920
\nWe have the number 7 coming in
\nand we know the story of Noah is<\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:11,920 –> 00:16:16,120
\nbased on the #7 Noah’s name
\nmeans rested 7th day, but we <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:16,120 –> 00:16:20,720
\nhave an insignificant detail.
\nNow, like, Can you imagine this?<\/p>\n
314
\n00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:24,040
\nThis would have meant nothing to
\nNoah and his family. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:16:25,240 –> 00:16:27,680
\nNothing.
\nHey, what day of the month is? <\/p>\n
316
\n00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:30,080
\nIt well it’s actually the 7th
\nmonth on the 17th day of the <\/p>\n
317
\n00:16:30,080 –> 00:16:31,560
\nmonth.
\nWell, let me get out my calendar<\/p>\n
318
\n00:16:31,560 –> 00:16:33,760
\non the ark.
\nYep, that’s where we are. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:36,400
\nI’ve been counting the moon
\nsince then so. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:16:36,400 –> 00:16:40,640
\nWhy is it there?
\nBecause it’s not for them, it’s <\/p>\n
321
\n00:16:40,640 –> 00:16:42,480
\nthere for us.
\nWell. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:16:42,480 –> 00:16:46,240
\nLet’s think about that.
\nThe 7th month in the 17th day of<\/p>\n
323
\n00:16:46,240 –> 00:16:48,200
\nthe month.
\nThe 7th month on the. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:54,840
\nCivil Calendar is a bib, which
\nis also the first. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:16:54,840 –> 00:16:58,560
\nMonth in the religious calendar.
\nAnd that, of course, doesn’t <\/p>\n
326
\n00:16:58,560 –> 00:17:00,240
\neven come.
\nInto play until we get to the <\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:02,880
\nexodus.
\nSo we’re now moving to another <\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:02,880 –> 00:17:08,480
\nstory generations after this.
\nAnd so we’ve been told this is <\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:09,520 –> 00:17:14,240
\nthe 17th day of a bib.
\nWell, what? <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:14,240 –> 00:17:16,480
\nElse happened on the 17th day of
\na bib. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:18,400 –> 00:17:20,720
\nWell, let’s think about this.
\nThis is a Passover week, is it <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:20,720 –> 00:17:22,760
\nnot?
\nI’ll give you some references. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:22,760 –> 00:17:26,319
\nWe’re not going to look it up,
\nbut Exodus 12 and 18, Exodus 13,<\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:26,319 –> 00:17:28,800
\nthree and four good references
\nif you want to put them in your <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:29,160 –> 00:17:31,480
\nin your notes, but we are now
\nfinding. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:17:31,480 –> 00:17:33,680
\nOurselves in the crucifixion
\nweek. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:17:34,360 –> 00:17:39,120
\nModeled after the Passover, the
\nredeeming of the nation by the <\/p>\n
338
\n00:17:39,120 –> 00:17:40,640
\ncovering of the blood of the
\nlamb. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:17:40,640 –> 00:17:42,800
\nSo it’s keeping very much in
\nline. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:17:42,960 –> 00:17:47,160
\nWith what we’re talking about
\nfor this whole week now, we’ve <\/p>\n
341
\n00:17:47,160 –> 00:17:49,240
\ngot a couple things that come
\ninto play. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:17:49,480 –> 00:17:50,640
\nWhich are going to start adding
\nit up. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:17:50,640 –> 00:17:55,280
\nWe know the Passover is the 14th
\nand then this three dates and <\/p>\n
344
\n00:17:55,280 –> 00:18:03,040
\nthree nights thing gets us 14 +
\n3 is the Ark came to rest on the<\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:07,920
\nday our Lord was resurrected.
\nLooking for Christ in the ark <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:07,920 –> 00:18:08,920
\nisn’t hard.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:09,120 –> 00:18:14,080
\nWe’ve been told a date that made
\nno sense to them, but because we<\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:14,080 –> 00:18:16,880
\nhave that information, we now
\nget to put the resurrection of <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:16,880 –> 00:18:22,080
\nour Lord in a direct response to
\nwhat happened after the flood. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:23,480 –> 00:18:26,120
\nNow it also dispels the Good
\nFriday nonsense, and I may as <\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:26,120 –> 00:18:27,520
\nwell say it because it’s
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:27,520 –> 00:18:29,120
\nI think we get we get this
\nright. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:29,920 –> 00:18:32,280
\nWe have number of times of
\nreference to three days and <\/p>\n
354
\n00:18:32,280 –> 00:18:34,480
\nthree nights and I’ve seen
\nplenty of work, some of them <\/p>\n
355
\n00:18:34,480 –> 00:18:36,600
\nChris Adelphian, trying to
\nfigure out how do we get <\/p>\n
356
\n00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:39,840
\ncrucified on Friday, resurrected
\non Sunday. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:18:39,840 –> 00:18:42,200
\nThat is not three days, three
\nnights, no matter how you divide<\/p>\n
358
\n00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,360
\nit up and Jesus could have said
\nyou. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:18:46,320 –> 00:18:48,200
\nKnow I’m going to be in the
\ngrave for a little bit little <\/p>\n
360
\n00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:51,800
\nbit hey, I got a couple days get
\na little time to he doesn’t he’s<\/p>\n
361
\n00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:54,800
\nvery specific tying to Jonah,
\nwhich we’ll do that later to. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:18:55,840 –> 00:18:59,440
\nThree days, three nights.
\nSo let’s not argue with Jesus. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:18:59,920 –> 00:19:01,560
\nThree days, three nights means
\nwe. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:01,560 –> 00:19:05,680
\nCannot have Friday to Sunday
\nthat’s not possible now you can <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:05,680 –> 00:19:07,440
\nthank the church for that
\nbecause that’s where it came <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:07,440 –> 00:19:09,800
\nfrom and it sure makes a lot of
\nsense and it makes it a <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:11,840
\nconvenient holiday I’ll.
\nGive you all that. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:12,040 –> 00:19:15,760
\nBut it does not match the words
\nof Jesus. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:16,680 –> 00:19:18,960
\nNow we talked about the evening
\nmorning concept last night. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:18,960 –> 00:19:21,440
\nWe were looking at Genesis 1.
\nAnd that’s relevant here because<\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:21,440 –> 00:19:25,560
\nthe Jewish day starts in the
\nevening of the day before you. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:25,560 –> 00:19:27,560
\nAnd I would think the.
\nCalendar is. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:19:28,120 –> 00:19:30,320
\nI don’t know if that made any
\nsense at all, but right now. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:19:30,520 –> 00:19:35,080
\nWe all agree today is Friday at
\nmidnight. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:19:35,080 –> 00:19:38,720
\nOur calendar say it’s Saturday,
\nbut to the Jewish calendar, <\/p>\n
376
\n00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:43,920
\nSaturday night starts today
\nabout sundown. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:19:45,800 –> 00:19:48,320
\nSo now let’s put that in
\nperspective. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:19:48,920 –> 00:19:50,880
\nLet’s go to the Crucian
\ncrucifixion weeks. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:19:50,880 –> 00:19:53,240
\nThere are a number of ways we
\ncan do this, so I’m not <\/p>\n
380
\n00:19:53,240 –> 00:19:57,120
\nsuggesting this is the only way
\nbecause in my very short. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:19:57,120 –> 00:20:00,200
\nPeriod of time as a Bible
\nstudent, I have changed what I <\/p>\n
382
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:01,400
\nthought this meant more than
\nonce. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,960
\nSo you might be getting a
\nversion that five years from now<\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:05,120
\ngo.
\nI don’t know that I believe that<\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:05,120 –> 00:20:07,040
\nanymore, but I’ll give you where
\nI am today. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:11,520
\nThe requirement has to match 3
\ndays and three nights and we got<\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:11,520 –> 00:20:13,840
\n17 to 3.
\nIt gets us to 14, which puts us <\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:13,840 –> 00:20:15,880
\non the day of Passover and I
\ncannot possibly. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:15,880 –> 00:20:18,720
\nAccept that as a coincidence.
\nSo here’s where I am today. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:19,920 –> 00:20:27,880
\nWednesday the 13th is the day of
\npreparation and the 14th begins <\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:27,880 –> 00:20:29,480
\nat sundown.
\nRemember, they were going to <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:29,480 –> 00:20:32,160
\nbreak their legs because they
\nweren’t going to be on. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:20:32,440 –> 00:20:35,280
\nThe tree when the Passover
\nbegan, which would have been <\/p>\n
394
\n00:20:35,440 –> 00:20:40,080
\nWednesday night to us, but
\nThursday night to them dusk. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:20:40,520 –> 00:20:42,840
\nBut Jesus was already dead, so
\nthat gives us a little bit on <\/p>\n
396
\n00:20:42,840 –> 00:20:46,680
\nthe timeline.
\nSo then we have Thursday being <\/p>\n
397
\n00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:50,680
\nthe Passover.
\nWell, Friday would be the 15th <\/p>\n
398
\n00:20:50,680 –> 00:20:54,240
\nin the Gospel record makes a
\nreference to them coming to the <\/p>\n
399
\n00:20:54,240 –> 00:20:57,960
\ngrave the day before the Sabbath
\nand coming to the grave the day <\/p>\n
400
\n00:20:57,960 –> 00:21:01,320
\nafter the Sabbath.
\nAnd that’s hard to reconcile, <\/p>\n
401
\n00:21:01,680 –> 00:21:04,160
\nespecially if he was crucified
\non a Friday. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:21:04,880 –> 00:21:10,840
\nBut if he literally was buried
\non Thursday, and Thursday is the<\/p>\n
403
\n00:21:10,840 –> 00:21:14,360
\nPassover, all holy days under
\nthe law were Sabbaths. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:21:15,280 –> 00:21:20,080
\nSo you have Friday is both the
\nday before the Sabbath, the net <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:20,080 –> 00:21:23,720
\nthe weekly Sabbath, and the day
\nafter the Passover Sabbath. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:23,720 –> 00:21:25,520
\nIt actually aligns the gospel
\nrecord. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:26,240 –> 00:21:28,560
\nThen we have Saturday.
\nThe 16th of this is the Sabbath.<\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:28,560 –> 00:21:32,760
\nDay and Sunday the 17th we have
\nhim resurrected sometime before <\/p>\n
409
\n00:21:32,760 –> 00:21:36,240
\ndawn, qualifying for three days
\nand three nights, lining up both<\/p>\n
410
\n00:21:36,240 –> 00:21:39,520
\nwith the Passover account and
\nthe resting of the Ark and <\/p>\n
411
\n00:21:39,520 –> 00:21:41,920
\nArarat.
\nNow you might come up with <\/p>\n
412
\n00:21:41,920 –> 00:21:44,200
\nanother way to do that, and if
\nyou’ve got a great idea, share <\/p>\n
413
\n00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:47,360
\nit because I am open to
\nsuggestion as long as your <\/p>\n
414
\n00:21:47,360 –> 00:21:49,520
\nsuggestion has an allotment of
\nthree days and three nights. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:21:49,520 –> 00:21:51,680
\nI’ll at least listen to you.
\nIf you want to go back to Good <\/p>\n
416
\n00:21:51,680 –> 00:21:53,280
\nFriday, you’re going to have to
\ntalk to someone else. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:21:53,920 –> 00:21:57,800
\nOK?
\nVerse 5, the waters decreased <\/p>\n
418
\n00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:00,240
\ncontinually until the 10th month
\nand the 10th month. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:22:00,400 –> 00:22:02,800
\nThe first day of the month were
\nthe top of the mountain scene. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:22:03,200 –> 00:22:05,440
\nSo we have decreasing.
\nWe have the waves getting <\/p>\n
421
\n00:22:05,440 –> 00:22:08,720
\nsmaller from verse 3.
\nThis is approximately 2 1\/2 <\/p>\n
422
\n00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:12,360
\nmonths later, as we’ll see,
\ncomparing to verse 4, it’s <\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:12,440 –> 00:22:17,680
\nunseen but present.
\nSo we know, we know that this is<\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:17,680 –> 00:22:19,600
\nhappening.
\nThe waters are going to <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:19,600 –> 00:22:21,360
\neventually recede and the top of
\nthe mountains. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:23,760
\nWill be able to be seen.
\nSo they know they’re there, they<\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:23,760 –> 00:22:27,240
\njust aren’t able to see it.
\nNice reference again to Christ <\/p>\n
428
\n00:22:27,240 –> 00:22:29,720
\nin the ark.
\nWe know Christ is there wherever<\/p>\n
429
\n00:22:29,720 –> 00:22:31,720
\ntwo or more of the.
\nMore of us are gathered. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:34,680
\nHe is here.
\nWe can’t see Him or we would all<\/p>\n
431
\n00:22:34,680 –> 00:22:37,720
\nbe quiet sitting and listening
\nto Him, but He’s here. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:22:39,360 –> 00:22:42,680
\nHebrews 11\/1 tells us that faith
\nis based on substance and <\/p>\n
433
\n00:22:42,680 –> 00:22:46,560
\nevidence, and so we look for the
\nsubstance and evidence around <\/p>\n
434
\n00:22:46,560 –> 00:22:48,800
\nour lives to see.
\nGod is at work as the wind in <\/p>\n
435
\n00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:52,600
\nthe trees doing things to help
\norchestrate His glory, and is up<\/p>\n
436
\n00:22:52,600 –> 00:22:56,040
\nto us to incorporate our
\nthinking into His so His glory <\/p>\n
437
\n00:22:56,040 –> 00:22:58,360
\ncan incorporate.
\nUs in the future. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:22:59,240 –> 00:23:01,360
\nSo let’s put this on a map.
\nHere’s a nice one for your <\/p>\n
439
\n00:23:01,360 –> 00:23:03,880
\nchildren.
\nLet’s look at the one that <\/p>\n
440
\n00:23:03,880 –> 00:23:06,640
\nactually shows.
\nThe real map. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:23:07,480 –> 00:23:11,480
\nSo this is now getting us to
\nwhere Israel is, where Turkey <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:11,480 –> 00:23:16,520
\nis, and lo and behold, Wallah
\ntop right, we have Mount Ararat.<\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:16,640 –> 00:23:18,760
\nLet’s get specific to Ararat
\nitself. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:21,720
\nSo this picture is actually a
\nsatellite. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:21,840 –> 00:23:24,880
\nLooking down on the snow covered
\nMount Ararat and then the one <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:24,880 –> 00:23:26,600
\nlittle next to it kind of looks
\nlike a pimple. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:26,880 –> 00:23:29,520
\nThe one little next to it that
\nthey call Little Ararat. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:23:29,560 –> 00:23:32,800
\nReally creative, I know.
\nThese mountains are actually <\/p>\n
449
\n00:23:32,800 –> 00:23:35,880
\ninactive volcanoes.
\nThat’s interesting. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:23:36,320 –> 00:23:40,000
\nThere are three miles above sea
\nlevel, and this is traditionally<\/p>\n
451
\n00:23:40,000 –> 00:23:42,240
\nwhat’s referred to as the place
\nof the resting of the arc. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:23:42,640 –> 00:23:45,720
\nNow you can see below the lava
\nfields if you look closely and <\/p>\n
453
\n00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:47,520
\nsee the definition and then you
\ncan. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:23:47,520 –> 00:23:49,240
\nSee green fields even below
\nthat. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:23:49,240 –> 00:23:51,760
\nSo let’s get a little bit
\ncloser. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:23:51,760 –> 00:23:55,360
\nAll right, too close.
\nThere we go. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:23:55,440 –> 00:24:01,560
\nOK, now this is a picture
\nshowing from the side. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:06,160
\nYou see obviously which one is.
\nBig air rat, little air rat. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:24:06,440 –> 00:24:08,240
\nSo it gives us a picture of what
\nwe’re looking at. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:09,360
\nThis is.
\nThis is the. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:24:09,360 –> 00:24:12,320
\nTopography they would have been
\nfirst encountering when they got<\/p>\n
462
\n00:24:12,320 –> 00:24:16,720
\noff the boat it’s like great we
\nhave been on this boat for a <\/p>\n
463
\n00:24:16,720 –> 00:24:18,880
\nlong time and let’s.
\nDo this. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:24:18,880 –> 00:24:20,440
\nWe’ve got lots of time and
\nenergy. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:24:20,440 –> 00:24:23,480
\nLet’s do some mountain.
\nClimbing all right. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:24:23,760 –> 00:24:25,880
\nSee, because when we picture in
\nour head, we picture this cute <\/p>\n
467
\n00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:28,440
\nlittle boat with a few animals
\ngoing down the road and somebody<\/p>\n
468
\n00:24:28,440 –> 00:24:30,040
\ntake out and take the giraffe
\nfor a walk. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:24:30,040 –> 00:24:33,520
\nIt’s not exactly.
\nWhat would have matched reality?<\/p>\n
470
\n00:24:34,800 –> 00:24:37,320
\nAll right, it came to pass in
\nthe end of 40 days that Noah <\/p>\n
471
\n00:24:37,320 –> 00:24:39,920
\nopened the window of the ark,
\nthat he had made another number <\/p>\n
472
\n00:24:39,920 –> 00:24:44,080
\nfor us to tie 40 and he sends.
\nForth a Raven, which went forth <\/p>\n
473
\n00:24:44,080 –> 00:24:47,040
\nto and fro until the waters were
\ndried up from off the face of <\/p>\n
474
\n00:24:47,040 –> 00:24:50,280
\nthe earth.
\nNow here’s where we’re going to <\/p>\n
475
\n00:24:50,280 –> 00:24:55,480
\nhave some fun with our sevens.
\nNow we’ve got the Raven and <\/p>\n
476
\n00:24:55,480 –> 00:24:59,360
\nwe’ve said Christ is being
\nrepresented in the Ark and we’re<\/p>\n
477
\n00:24:59,360 –> 00:25:04,200
\ngoing to see.
\nThe Raven and a dove, a dove and<\/p>\n
478
\n00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:05,840
\na dove.
\nI hope I spoiler alert you. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:25:05,880 –> 00:25:08,240
\nI think you know the story.
\nDoves are coming next, so we’re <\/p>\n
480
\n00:25:08,240 –> 00:25:11,920
\ngoing to have four birds.
\nThat are going to be released <\/p>\n
481
\n00:25:11,920 –> 00:25:14,400
\nfrom the ark and details given
\nabout each. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:25:16,120 –> 00:25:20,480
\nNow the Raven is unclean.
\nThat means there’s only two of <\/p>\n
483
\n00:25:20,480 –> 00:25:24,080
\nthese guys on the boat, which
\nmeans this guy had to come back.<\/p>\n
484
\n00:25:25,080 –> 00:25:28,000
\nWe know that he went two and
\nfour, but we don’t have him ever<\/p>\n
485
\n00:25:28,000 –> 00:25:30,960
\nreturning.
\nBut you know, he made it. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:25:30,960 –> 00:25:32,440
\nOtherwise, there’d be no Ravens
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:25:33,360 –> 00:25:35,440
\nFrom a football reference, maybe
\nsome of you would like that. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:25:36,760 –> 00:25:40,200
\nSo sorry, I’m in Philadelphia.
\nI had to do it that way. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:42,120
\nI could have done it another
\nanyways, whatever. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:25:42,480 –> 00:25:46,080
\nThe point is, Mr. Ravens
\nsurvived, but we don’t hear <\/p>\n
491
\n00:25:46,080 –> 00:25:49,200
\nanything else about him.
\nBut we know he made it. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:25:49,840 –> 00:25:52,440
\nAnd so if we want to see Jesus
\nin the bird references, boy, <\/p>\n
493
\n00:25:52,440 –> 00:25:56,600
\nit’s going to be easiest, easier
\nfor us to see the the dove as <\/p>\n
494
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:26:00,400
\nRepresentative Jesus.
\nBut how could the Raven possibly<\/p>\n
495
\n00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:02,600
\nrepresent Jesus, an unclean
\nbird? <\/p>\n
496
\n00:26:04,400 –> 00:26:06,320
\nAnd I will.
\nSay these four birds then <\/p>\n
497
\n00:26:06,320 –> 00:26:10,280
\nrepresent 4 appearings of Christ
\nafter the crucifixion. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:26:10,520 –> 00:26:12,480
\nThe.
\nFirst time we have Christ <\/p>\n
499
\n00:26:12,480 –> 00:26:15,400
\nvisible after the crucifixion.
\nWhat does he say? <\/p>\n
500
\n00:26:17,560 –> 00:26:19,960
\nOh, like what you say when
\nyou’re unclean? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:26:20,800 –> 00:26:23,960
\nTouch me not.
\nI have not yet ascended to my <\/p>\n
502
\n00:26:23,960 –> 00:26:27,320
\nfather.
\nBird #1 represents Jesus. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:26:27,880 –> 00:26:32,800
\nAfter the crucifixion, but yet
\nbefore the ascension, but the <\/p>\n
504
\n00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:33,840
\nnext one.
\nWhat’s the next? <\/p>\n
505
\n00:26:33,840 –> 00:26:40,160
\nTime we see Jesus on the scene,
\nhe tells Thomas, touch me. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:26:41,120 –> 00:26:45,160
\nPut your fingers in my hands, my
\nfeet, check out my scars, look <\/p>\n
507
\n00:26:45,160 –> 00:26:48,800
\nat the open wounds.
\nSo it’s OK to touch him now, but<\/p>\n
508
\n00:26:48,800 –> 00:26:53,960
\nnow he’s come back immortalized.
\nThen he comes back in AD 70. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:26:54,480 –> 00:26:58,240
\nAs we’re told by the Gospels,
\nthat’s a example of a cameo of <\/p>\n
510
\n00:26:58,240 –> 00:27:02,520
\nthe return of Jesus.
\nAnd then he doesn’t return for a<\/p>\n
511
\n00:27:02,520 –> 00:27:05,200
\nlong time and we’re waiting for
\nthat dove to resurface again. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:27:05,720 –> 00:27:09,240
\nYour 4 dubs tying directly to
\nthe four different AD, four <\/p>\n
513
\n00:27:09,240 –> 00:27:12,440
\ndifferent appearances of Jesus
\nafter the crucifixion. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:27:13,360 –> 00:27:16,080
\nWell, let’s keep going.
\nSo he sends a Raven and we don’t<\/p>\n
515
\n00:27:16,080 –> 00:27:17,600
\ntalk about him anymore.
\nHe sent him and he went. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:27:17,920 –> 00:27:20,240
\nWe know he survived, so he sends
\na dove. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:27:21,520 –> 00:27:24,120
\nTo see if the waters were abated
\nfrom a face off the face of the <\/p>\n
518
\n00:27:24,120 –> 00:27:26,680
\nground.
\nSo now we’ve got more than one <\/p>\n
519
\n00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:27,600
\noption.
\nGood thing. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:27:28,560 –> 00:27:31,920
\nSo the dove is sent being sent
\nout and the dove is a clean <\/p>\n
521
\n00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:35,560
\nanimal.
\nThe turtle dove or young pigeon <\/p>\n
522
\n00:27:35,720 –> 00:27:38,200
\nwere the only acceptable birds
\nof sacrifice. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:27:38,200 –> 00:27:40,800
\nSo we’re tying not just to clean
\nas in you can eat. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:44,600
\nThem, but they’re acceptable as
\nan offering of sacrifice. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:27:45,400 –> 00:27:50,920
\nWhich ones leprosy Leviticus
\nchapter 4 which is talking <\/p>\n
526
\n00:27:50,920 –> 00:27:53,520
\nabout?
\nSin as an example of leprosy and<\/p>\n
527
\n00:27:53,520 –> 00:27:57,600
\nhow we clean clean the house.
\nThe turtle dove or young pigeon <\/p>\n
528
\n00:27:57,600 –> 00:28:00,480
\nwas what they were to offer for
\nthe covering of sin. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:28:01,280 –> 00:28:03,240
\nHow about a childbirth?
\nA childbirth. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:28:03,800 –> 00:28:06,480
\nYou were to offer a lamb and one
\nof these birds, but if you were <\/p>\n
531
\n00:28:06,480 –> 00:28:11,520
\npoor, two birds were acceptable.
\nWhen Jesus was born, what do <\/p>\n
532
\n00:28:11,520 –> 00:28:13,920
\nthey offer?
\nTwo birds? <\/p>\n
533
\n00:28:14,120 –> 00:28:17,920
\nA tie back to the ark, but
\nthere’s one more. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:28:19,640 –> 00:28:21,920
\nWhen Jesus was baptized and
\nstraightway went out of the <\/p>\n
535
\n00:28:21,920 –> 00:28:24,680
\nwater, lo, the heavens were
\nopened unto him, and he saw the <\/p>\n
536
\n00:28:24,680 –> 00:28:27,720
\nSpirit of God descending like a
\ndove, and lighting upon him, <\/p>\n
537
\n00:28:28,480 –> 00:28:32,000
\ndescending like a dove.
\nWell, there’s much more here, <\/p>\n
538
\n00:28:32,000 –> 00:28:33,640
\nbut we’re going to try to stick
\nto our topic. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:28:33,640 –> 00:28:34,760
\nSort of.
\nBut I. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:28:34,760 –> 00:28:38,520
\nDo want to add that going back
\nfrom the dove back to the Ark, <\/p>\n
541
\n00:28:38,960 –> 00:28:42,120
\nit’s got a couple detours on the
\nway and one of my favourites is <\/p>\n
542
\n00:28:42,120 –> 00:28:45,160
\nthe story of Jonah.
\nThere is connections to the <\/p>\n
543
\n00:28:45,160 –> 00:28:48,000
\nstory of Jonah connecting the
\nark and the work of Jesus <\/p>\n
544
\n00:28:48,000 –> 00:28:49,520
\neverywhere.
\nI’ll give you a few so you can <\/p>\n
545
\n00:28:49,520 –> 00:28:51,080
\nplay with them in your readings
\nnext year. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:28:51,800 –> 00:28:53,440
\nThe number 40 comes up a lot in
\nboth. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:28:53,440 –> 00:28:56,040
\nStories.
\nThe judgement of a generation <\/p>\n
548
\n00:28:56,040 –> 00:28:58,760
\ncomes up a lot in both stories.
\nThe preaching effort to the <\/p>\n
549
\n00:28:58,760 –> 00:29:01,800
\nGentiles comes up a lot in both
\nstories. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:29:02,720 –> 00:29:04,760
\nAnd both of them are given the
\nepitaph by Jesus. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:29:04,760 –> 00:29:09,840
\nAs it was in the days of Jonah,
\nso will it be in the days of the<\/p>\n
552
\n00:29:09,840 –> 00:29:13,120
\ncoming of Son of Man.
\nThe sacrifice for sin and <\/p>\n
553
\n00:29:13,120 –> 00:29:15,560
\ndedication at childbirth comes
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:29:16,640 –> 00:29:19,720
\nAnd of course, Jonah’s name
\nmeans Dove. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:29:21,000 –> 00:29:26,480
\nWhat’s Jonah’s father’s name?
\nYeah, we all know that, Amitai. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:29:26,480 –> 00:29:28,480
\nIt’s probably, I’m probably
\nsaying it wrong. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:29:28,480 –> 00:29:32,560
\nMaybe that’s why you’re thrown.
\nSo if we have Dennis son of <\/p>\n
558
\n00:29:32,560 –> 00:29:35,920
\niniquity, we have Dennis filled
\nwith iniquity. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:41,840
\nSo when we have Jonah, son of
\nAmitai, we have dove filled with<\/p>\n
560
\n00:29:41,840 –> 00:29:45,960
\ntruth.
\nNow we’re getting somewhere. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:29:45,960 –> 00:29:50,720
\nIn fact, the story of a study of
\nthis the book of Jonah is a blow<\/p>\n
562
\n00:29:50,720 –> 00:29:53,320
\nby blow reference to the first
\nadvent of Jesus. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:29:53,320 –> 00:29:55,160
\nYou.
\nWant to see the? <\/p>\n
564
\n00:29:55,160 –> 00:29:56,920
\n2nd Advent, you’ve got to look
\nat Nahum. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:29:57,800 –> 00:29:59,080
\nAll right, let’s get back to
\nNoah. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:30:00,400 –> 00:30:03,960
\nSo the dove found no rest for
\nthe sole of her foot, and she <\/p>\n
567
\n00:30:03,960 –> 00:30:06,480
\nreturned unto him into the ark.
\nThe waters were on the face of <\/p>\n
568
\n00:30:06,480 –> 00:30:08,440
\nthe earth.
\nHe pulled forth, out his hand, <\/p>\n
569
\n00:30:08,440 –> 00:30:09,800
\ntook her, and pulled her into
\nthe ark. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:30:10,240 –> 00:30:13,320
\nSo a dove is a clean burn in
\nevery sense of the word. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:30:13,320 –> 00:30:15,760
\nIt will not put its feet in mud
\nif it can avoid it. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:30:15,760 –> 00:30:17,840
\nIt it wants to avoid getting
\ndirty. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:30:18,440 –> 00:30:21,120
\nSo it goes out for a little
\nflight, takes a look at the <\/p>\n
574
\n00:30:21,120 –> 00:30:25,080
\nlandscape, goes yuck, and comes
\nback. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:30:25,280 –> 00:30:28,880
\nIn fact, that’s why the dove
\nlanded on Jesus. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:30:29,440 –> 00:30:33,480
\nWhere was he baptized?
\nIn the Jordan River, which was <\/p>\n
577
\n00:30:33,480 –> 00:30:38,120
\nknown for being muddy and dirty.
\nThere’s only one clean thing for<\/p>\n
578
\n00:30:38,120 –> 00:30:42,240
\nme to land on.
\nOh, this is my beloved son, in <\/p>\n
579
\n00:30:42,240 –> 00:30:44,920
\nwhom I’m well pleased.
\nAll right, keep going. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:30:46,360 –> 00:30:49,600
\nHe stayed yet other.
\nSeven days, and again sent forth<\/p>\n
581
\n00:30:49,600 –> 00:30:52,200
\nthe dove out of the ark.
\nAnd the dove came in unto him in<\/p>\n
582
\n00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:53,920
\nthe evening.
\nAnd lo, in her mouth was an <\/p>\n
583
\n00:30:53,920 –> 00:30:57,720
\nolive leaf plucked, plucked off.
\nSorry, so no one. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:30:57,720 –> 00:31:00,520
\nKnew that the waters were abated
\nfrom off the earth, so now we’ve<\/p>\n
585
\n00:31:00,520 –> 00:31:02,400
\ngot evidence that something is
\ngrowing. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:31:02,920 –> 00:31:06,080
\nNow the dove is a common symbol
\nof peace for both Jew and <\/p>\n
587
\n00:31:06,080 –> 00:31:08,440
\nGentile.
\nIn fact this picture could be <\/p>\n
588
\n00:31:08,440 –> 00:31:12,320
\nreferencing either direction.
\nBut the fact that the olive <\/p>\n
589
\n00:31:12,320 –> 00:31:15,240
\nbranch is mentioned gives you
\nand IA little bit to play with. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:31:15,960 –> 00:31:20,400
\nBecause olives do not need any
\ncultivation, they are not <\/p>\n
591
\n00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:24,720
\ndependent on man.
\nAn olive can be grown in the <\/p>\n
592
\n00:31:24,720 –> 00:31:26,160
\nwild.
\nIn fact, Paul picks. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:31:26,160 –> 00:31:29,280
\nThis up what talks about the
\nwild olive grafted into the hope<\/p>\n
594
\n00:31:29,280 –> 00:31:33,600
\nof the natural branch.
\nNormally an olive tree has no <\/p>\n
595
\n00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:36,880
\nberries until how many get?
\nAnyone want to guess how many <\/p>\n
596
\n00:31:36,880 –> 00:31:40,320
\nyears?
\n7’s a great guess, yes, seven <\/p>\n
597
\n00:31:40,320 –> 00:31:42,800
\nyears before the berries are
\neven evidence. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:31:43,520 –> 00:31:47,640
\nNow we mentioned Paul in Romans
\n11 as he talked talked about <\/p>\n
599
\n00:31:47,640 –> 00:31:51,000
\nthis grafting.
\nIn which allows the bringing of <\/p>\n
600
\n00:31:51,000 –> 00:31:55,360
\na covenant relationship with
\nChrist through Christ to the <\/p>\n
601
\n00:31:55,360 –> 00:31:58,840
\nFather, not only to the Jew
\nfirst. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:31:59,200 –> 00:32:01,480
\nBut also to the Gentile.
\nOh, another wonderful tie to <\/p>\n
603
\n00:32:01,480 –> 00:32:03,680
\nJonah.
\nBut we must aggress in. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:05,320
\nIn fact, how much time do I
\nhave? <\/p>\n
605
\n00:32:05,480 –> 00:32:08,560
\nI’m OK, Ish.
\nWe’ll be quick. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:32:08,960 –> 00:32:11,600
\nThe four fruits of Israel.
\nThis is not a rock band. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:32:11,600 –> 00:32:13,800
\nYou’ve not heard of this.
\nJust simply looking at four <\/p>\n
608
\n00:32:13,800 –> 00:32:16,120
\ndifferent fruits that describe
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:32:16,360 –> 00:32:18,160
\nDifferent types of Israel for
\nsure. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:32:18,560 –> 00:32:21,240
\nNow, we’ve already talked about
\nthe fig natural Israel. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:32:21,240 –> 00:32:23,680
\nThat one comes right out of
\nGenesis chapter 3, and it’s the <\/p>\n
612
\n00:32:23,680 –> 00:32:27,080
\ncovering of sin by man’s design,
\nand it’s used to describe <\/p>\n
613
\n00:32:27,080 –> 00:32:28,600
\nnatural Israel throughout
\nhistory. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:32:28,600 –> 00:32:33,040
\nIn fact, we mentioned yesterday
\nduring the talk about Babylon <\/p>\n
615
\n00:32:33,360 –> 00:32:37,280
\nthat The Dirty figs were dirty
\nand rotten figs were left behind<\/p>\n
616
\n00:32:37,280 –> 00:32:39,640
\nto rot in the land.
\nThat’s natural Israel. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:32:40,320 –> 00:32:45,280
\nThen we’ve got the olive here, a
\nrepresentation of spiritual <\/p>\n
618
\n00:32:45,280 –> 00:32:47,360
\nIsrael.
\nThis is the wild olive grafted <\/p>\n
619
\n00:32:47,360 –> 00:32:50,040
\nback into the natural branch.
\nSo we were able to. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:32:50,040 –> 00:32:53,280
\nSee in the olive, a reference to
\nspiritual Israel. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:32:53,280 –> 00:32:55,960
\nThis is where you and I get our
\nhope, unless we’ve got some <\/p>\n
622
\n00:32:55,960 –> 00:32:57,920
\nJewish heritage we can lean on
\nsomewhere else. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:32:58,800 –> 00:33:01,120
\nBut it’s also interesting
\nbecause most of the time we hear<\/p>\n
624
\n00:33:01,120 –> 00:33:05,240
\nthe word oil under the law, it’s
\nactually olive oil that we’re <\/p>\n
625
\n00:33:05,240 –> 00:33:07,800
\nlooking at.
\nSo we can see a representation <\/p>\n
626
\n00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:11,240
\nof the Gentiles hope everywhere
\nwe look throughout the <\/p>\n
627
\n00:33:11,240 –> 00:33:15,080
\nTabernacle.
\nWell then we have the grape <\/p>\n
628
\n00:33:15,920 –> 00:33:18,200
\nperfect Israel.
\nHere we have Jesus. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:33:18,200 –> 00:33:20,200
\nI am the vine.
\nHere are the branches. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:33:20,440 –> 00:33:24,320
\nSo we have perfect, a perfect
\nIsrael in the face of Jesus. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:33:25,640 –> 00:33:28,440
\nAnd last we have the
\npomegranate, multitudinous <\/p>\n
632
\n00:33:28,440 –> 00:33:31,000
\nIsrael.
\nThere’s a lot of cool things <\/p>\n
633
\n00:33:31,000 –> 00:33:33,280
\nabout the pomegranate you can
\nplay with this on your own, but <\/p>\n
634
\n00:33:33,280 –> 00:33:34,560
\nwe’ll touch on a couple big
\nones. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:33:34,560 –> 00:33:38,240
\nThe seeds themselves are
\nactually white, but they’re <\/p>\n
636
\n00:33:38,240 –> 00:33:39,840
\nstained by the blood of the
\nfruit. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:33:40,560 –> 00:33:45,120
\nThey’re individually encased,
\nbut the fruit is as a whole with<\/p>\n
638
\n00:33:45,120 –> 00:33:47,200
\nmultiple chambers.
\nIn my father’s house, there are <\/p>\n
639
\n00:33:47,200 –> 00:33:50,160
\nmany mansions covered by the
\nblood of the fruit. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:33:50,760 –> 00:33:53,760
\nTo be 1 fruit before the father.
\nOh, with a little crown on top <\/p>\n
641
\n00:33:54,720 –> 00:33:57,360
\nto think of the crown of life.
\nNow there’s more. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:33:57,360 –> 00:34:00,400
\nPlay with it if you want.
\nMy favorite example of this is <\/p>\n
643
\n00:34:00,400 –> 00:34:04,200
\nactually the Song of Solomon
\nwhere the bride is seen with <\/p>\n
644
\n00:34:04,200 –> 00:34:07,600
\nher.
\nTemples or as a piece of <\/p>\n
645
\n00:34:07,600 –> 00:34:11,719
\npomegranate, meaning she is
\nthinking on the exposed fruit. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:34:11,760 –> 00:34:14,719
\nOf the multitudinous Christ you
\ncan see the multitude of seas <\/p>\n
647
\n00:34:14,719 –> 00:34:17,560
\nonly when the fruit is open.
\nThere’s more play with it you <\/p>\n
648
\n00:34:17,560 –> 00:34:20,040
\nwant, but we’ve.
\nGot that all starts its roots in<\/p>\n
649
\n00:34:20,040 –> 00:34:25,840
\nthe story of Noah.
\nHe stays at another seven days <\/p>\n
650
\n00:34:26,040 –> 00:34:28,560
\nand sent forth the dove, which
\nreturned not again to him <\/p>\n
651
\n00:34:28,560 –> 00:34:30,520
\nanymore.
\nSo now we know the Earth is <\/p>\n
652
\n00:34:30,520 –> 00:34:35,000
\nclean, the dove surveyed.
\nIt could find a place to land. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:34:35,280 –> 00:34:37,960
\nAha.
\nI’m home and now all is good. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:34:38,440 –> 00:34:41,679
\nSo no longer in the muddy water,
\nin the mud itself, but now has <\/p>\n
655
\n00:34:41,679 –> 00:34:44,840
\nfound a place to settle.
\nVerse 13. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:34:45,880 –> 00:34:48,600
\nIt came to pass in the six.
\n101st year, the first month, the<\/p>\n
657
\n00:34:48,600 –> 00:34:51,000
\nfirst day of the month, the
\nwaters that were dried up from <\/p>\n
658
\n00:34:51,000 –> 00:34:54,040
\noff the earth, and Noah removed
\nthe covering of the ark and <\/p>\n
659
\n00:34:54,040 –> 00:34:55,880
\nlooked, and behold, the face of
\nthe ground was dry. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:34:56,320 –> 00:34:57,920
\nSo we remember we.
\nGot the religious calendar <\/p>\n
661
\n00:34:57,920 –> 00:35:02,000
\nplaying in here too.
\nSo as we put this onto the <\/p>\n
662
\n00:35:02,000 –> 00:35:06,440
\nreligious calendar, what was the
\nfirst day of the 7th month on <\/p>\n
663
\n00:35:06,440 –> 00:35:08,920
\nthe religious calendar under the
\nlaw again, a date. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:35:08,920 –> 00:35:12,000
\nThat meant nothing to Noah’s
\nfamily, but would play a role in<\/p>\n
665
\n00:35:12,000 –> 00:35:13,400
\nthe law.
\nAnd you want to know what the <\/p>\n
666
\n00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:16,760
\nfirst day of the 7th month in
\nthe religious calendar was? <\/p>\n
667
\n00:35:17,920 –> 00:35:20,880
\nSomebody said it.
\nTrumpets Feast of trumpets, <\/p>\n
668
\n00:35:21,040 –> 00:35:24,840
\nwhich includes the burnt
\noffering of total dedication to <\/p>\n
669
\n00:35:24,880 –> 00:35:27,280
\nour Father.
\nNow, according to Leviticus, the<\/p>\n
670
\n00:35:27,280 –> 00:35:30,640
\nanimal was to be skinned and
\nthen the insides were to be <\/p>\n
671
\n00:35:30,640 –> 00:35:33,800
\nwashed before the body.
\nAnd there was an order, first <\/p>\n
672
\n00:35:33,800 –> 00:35:40,720
\nthe head, then the feet, then
\nthe rest, but the skin was left <\/p>\n
673
\n00:35:40,720 –> 00:35:44,720
\noff the altar and that was to be
\nplaced on the altar to be <\/p>\n
674
\n00:35:44,720 –> 00:35:47,280
\ntotally consumed by God, which
\nis a wonderful model that gives <\/p>\n
675
\n00:35:47,280 –> 00:35:48,920
\nus.
\nFor us to be wholly dedicated to<\/p>\n
676
\n00:35:48,920 –> 00:35:50,920
\nour Father, it’s really not
\nabout what we look on the <\/p>\n
677
\n00:35:50,920 –> 00:35:53,600
\noutside.
\nIt starts with get your head <\/p>\n
678
\n00:35:53,600 –> 00:35:56,720
\nright first.
\nWalk God’s path. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:35:57,560 –> 00:36:00,720
\nAnd let your insides yearn for
\nserving the Father and the Son <\/p>\n
680
\n00:36:00,720 –> 00:36:03,200
\nforever.
\nThat’s the concept of a whole <\/p>\n
681
\n00:36:03,200 –> 00:36:07,040
\nburnt offering.
\nThe focus was on the inside, not<\/p>\n
682
\n00:36:07,040 –> 00:36:10,120
\nthe outside.
\nIt’s obvious ties to Jesus, who <\/p>\n
683
\n00:36:10,120 –> 00:36:14,360
\nwas the only true clean.
\nAnd complete dedicated sacrifice<\/p>\n
684
\n00:36:14,520 –> 00:36:18,320
\nwho was offered as a whole burnt
\noffering and just as the smoke <\/p>\n
685
\n00:36:18,680 –> 00:36:21,560
\nascended as a sweet smelling
\nsavour to our God. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:36:22,560 –> 00:36:26,440
\nWhy our Lord Jesus, after his
\ncrucifixion, ascended? <\/p>\n
687
\n00:36:26,840 –> 00:36:29,760
\nTo the father as a whole, burnt
\noffering acceptable to the <\/p>\n
688
\n00:36:29,760 –> 00:36:31,680
\nfather.
\nOh this is fun. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:36:31,680 –> 00:36:35,840
\nLet’s play in Romans chapter 12.
\nI beseech you, therefore, <\/p>\n
690
\n00:36:35,840 –> 00:36:39,080
\nbrethren, by the mercies of God,
\nthat you present your bodies a <\/p>\n
691
\n00:36:39,080 –> 00:36:41,880
\nliving sacrifice, holy,
\nacceptable unto God, which is <\/p>\n
692
\n00:36:41,880 –> 00:36:46,120
\nyour reasonable service.
\nA full exertation could be taken<\/p>\n
693
\n00:36:46,120 –> 00:36:48,120
\nfrom this chapter.
\nWe’re not going to do that. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:36:48,120 –> 00:36:49,920
\nWe’re going to focus on the
\noffering part. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:36:50,520 –> 00:36:53,840
\nAll of us want to present
\nourselves as a living sacrifice <\/p>\n
696
\n00:36:53,840 –> 00:36:58,120
\nor a walking, breathing example
\nof God’s glory and measure. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:36:59,080 –> 00:37:03,400
\nOur Lord did it in perfection.
\nWe try to do it to a degree, but<\/p>\n
698
\n00:37:03,400 –> 00:37:05,160
\nthere is more.
\nThe Word. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:37:05,160 –> 00:37:09,600
\nHoly, we know, means separate,
\nso we present ourselves as a <\/p>\n
700
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:13,120
\nliving sacrifice, a walking.
\nExample of the glory of God, <\/p>\n
701
\n00:37:13,440 –> 00:37:19,680
\nseparate and acceptable, which
\nis translated well pleasing at <\/p>\n
702
\n00:37:19,680 –> 00:37:21,600
\nabout about half the time that
\nword is used. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:37:21,600 –> 00:37:24,760
\nSo we are to be separate and
\nwell, pleasing in the eyes of <\/p>\n
704
\n00:37:24,760 –> 00:37:27,680
\nthe Father.
\nBut look at this reasonable. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:30,240
\nNow reasonable is an interesting
\none. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:37:30,520 –> 00:37:32,600
\nThere’s only two times it’s used
\nin the New Testament. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:37:32,600 –> 00:37:36,480
\nThe other one is translated of
\nthe word as in first Peter two <\/p>\n
708
\n00:37:36,480 –> 00:37:40,520
\nand two, as newborn babies
\ndesire the sincere milk of the <\/p>\n
709
\n00:37:40,520 –> 00:37:42,160
\nword.
\nThat’s the word translated <\/p>\n
710
\n00:37:42,360 –> 00:37:44,400
\nreasonable that you might grow
\nthereby. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:47,960
\nSo let’s reread that together
\nusing that definition, that we <\/p>\n
712
\n00:37:47,960 –> 00:37:51,480
\nmay be presenting our bodies as
\na living sacrifice, separate, <\/p>\n
713
\n00:37:51,640 –> 00:37:55,120
\nwell, pleasing unto God in our
\nservice of the word. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:37:56,160 –> 00:37:58,120
\nDoes that not match what we’ve
\nbeen talking about all? <\/p>\n
715
\n00:37:58,120 –> 00:38:00,240
\nWeek and lead us to the
\nTabernacle with the Father and <\/p>\n
716
\n00:38:00,240 –> 00:38:02,520
\nthe Son.
\nWell, yes it does. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:38:02,520 –> 00:38:05,800
\nVerse 14 of Genesis 8, the
\nsecond month on the 7th day of <\/p>\n
718
\n00:38:05,800 –> 00:38:08,080
\nthe month, excuse me, second
\nmonth on the 7th and 20th day of<\/p>\n
719
\n00:38:08,080 –> 00:38:11,960
\nthe month, the earth was dried
\nand God spake unto Noah saying, <\/p>\n
720
\n00:38:12,080 –> 00:38:14,720
\ngo forth of the ark, thou and
\nthy wife and thy sons and thy <\/p>\n
721
\n00:38:14,720 –> 00:38:17,520
\nsons wives with thee, go forth.
\nTime to move on. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:38:17,520 –> 00:38:19,760
\nCan’t stay in the blocks, got to
\nmove. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:38:20,120 –> 00:38:23,360
\nSo they, they survived the work
\nof redemption through obedience.<\/p>\n
724
\n00:38:23,680 –> 00:38:26,280
\nNow they have to continue to
\nfollow the instructions of God <\/p>\n
725
\n00:38:26,480 –> 00:38:28,840
\nto continue to survive.
\nAnd that’s the same. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:38:28,880 –> 00:38:30,440
\nWe don’t get to the waters of
\nbaptism. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:38:30,440 –> 00:38:32,280
\nWe went, I made it, whoo I’m
\ndone. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:38:33,000 –> 00:38:34,880
\nWe just punched the starting
\nclock. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:38:34,880 –> 00:38:37,120
\nWe haven’t ended the service.
\nThat’s the beginning of our <\/p>\n
730
\n00:38:37,120 –> 00:38:39,320
\nopportunity.
\nTo work in the service of the <\/p>\n
731
\n00:38:39,320 –> 00:38:41,640
\ntruth.
\nTo continue to follow those same<\/p>\n
732
\n00:38:41,640 –> 00:38:43,600
\ninstructions, to stay closer to
\nour God. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:38:43,880 –> 00:38:46,320
\nNow, you’ll notice that I
\nskipped over a date, and you <\/p>\n
734
\n00:38:46,320 –> 00:38:48,800
\nmight be wondering why, Because
\nI don’t know what that one’s <\/p>\n
735
\n00:38:48,800 –> 00:38:51,520
\ntied to.
\nThere might be something. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:38:51,520 –> 00:38:55,400
\nIf you find it, let me know and
\nI’ll change my slide verse 17. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:38:58,000 –> 00:39:00,840
\nBring forth with thee every
\nliving thing that is with thee, <\/p>\n
738
\n00:39:00,840 –> 00:39:04,200
\nall flesh, both of fowl, of
\ncattle, every creepy thing that <\/p>\n
739
\n00:39:04,200 –> 00:39:07,440
\ncreepeth upon the earth.
\nThat they may breed abundantly <\/p>\n
740
\n00:39:07,760 –> 00:39:10,040
\nin the earth and be fruitful and
\nmultiply. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:39:10,240 –> 00:39:11,760
\nNotice.
\nThis is a little bit different. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:39:11,760 –> 00:39:14,880
\nSee, when we got to the
\nbeginning of this story, we had <\/p>\n
743
\n00:39:15,600 –> 00:39:17,880
\nyou prepare, you gather the
\nfood. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:39:18,400 –> 00:39:19,520
\nI’ll.
\nBring you the animal. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:39:19,520 –> 00:39:23,000
\nSo it wasn’t up to him to call
\nhim, but he is told you you have<\/p>\n
746
\n00:39:23,000 –> 00:39:25,360
\nto get him out.
\nSo he’s supposed to bring them <\/p>\n
747
\n00:39:25,360 –> 00:39:27,400
\nforth to let them out and let
\nthem go out. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:39:27,400 –> 00:39:29,160
\nThe cattle, the fowl, the
\ncreeping thing. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:39:29,440 –> 00:39:31,280
\nThey are and they have a job to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:39:32,240 –> 00:39:34,240
\nThey’ve got to replenish the
\nearth. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:39:34,240 –> 00:39:36,440
\nThey’ve got to.
\nBreed abundantly. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:39:36,440 –> 00:39:41,920
\nSo be, go and be.
\nFruitful and multiply as an echo<\/p>\n
753
\n00:39:41,920 –> 00:39:46,160
\nback to Genesis chapter 1 and 2.
\nSo Noah went forth, and his <\/p>\n
754
\n00:39:46,160 –> 00:39:48,400
\nsons, his wife and his son’s
\nwives with them. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:39:48,400 –> 00:39:50,720
\nEvery beast, creeping thing,
\nfowl whatsoever creeps on the <\/p>\n
756
\n00:39:50,720 –> 00:39:53,040
\nearth after their kind went
\nforth out of the ark. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:59,080
\nSo following the steps they go,
\nthey bring. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:40:00,080 –> 00:40:03,280
\nAnd now they’ve went, so we’ve
\ngot it in the past tense, which <\/p>\n
759
\n00:40:03,280 –> 00:40:05,440
\ntells us the same thing we’ve
\nbeen talking about all week, <\/p>\n
760
\n00:40:05,680 –> 00:40:08,320
\neverything that God commanded.
\nSo he did. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:40:08,600 –> 00:40:09,920
\nAnd so he was told.
\nGo. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:40:10,000 –> 00:40:13,600
\nBring and then we have here
\nverse 19 They went past tense <\/p>\n
763
\n00:40:13,600 –> 00:40:19,960
\nbecause they obeyed.
\nVerse 20 Noah builded an altar. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:40:20,440 –> 00:40:22,920
\nUnto the Lord, and took of every
\nclean beast and every clean <\/p>\n
765
\n00:40:22,920 –> 00:40:25,000
\nfowl, and offered burnt
\nofferings on the altar. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:40:25,600 –> 00:40:28,000
\nAnd so now we have another Bible
\nnew. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:40:29,000 –> 00:40:32,520
\nThis is the first time in the
\nBible an altar is mentioned. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:40:33,560 –> 00:40:36,920
\nNow it’s inferred an Abel story
\nfor sure, but check it out. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:40:36,920 –> 00:40:43,120
\nThere’s no altar in chapter 4.
\nThe first act they perform after<\/p>\n
770
\n00:40:43,120 –> 00:40:49,400
\nleaving the Ark is to offer one
\nof every clean animal that they <\/p>\n
771
\n00:40:49,400 –> 00:40:53,480
\nbrought in.
\nCan you imagine how many this is<\/p>\n
772
\n00:40:53,480 –> 00:40:54,960
\nand how long this would have
\ntook? <\/p>\n
773
\n00:40:56,640 –> 00:41:00,440
\nIt’s a lot of work.
\nNow I’m putting myself in their <\/p>\n
774
\n00:41:00,440 –> 00:41:07,520
\nshoes and saying if I were on a
\nboat for over a year, basically <\/p>\n
775
\n00:41:07,520 –> 00:41:13,880
\nin a functional zoo, the first
\nthing I do when I get out might <\/p>\n
776
\n00:41:13,880 –> 00:41:15,160
\nbe.
\nKiss the ground. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:41:16,440 –> 00:41:18,360
\nLet’s build a house that doesn’t
\nmove. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:41:20,520 –> 00:41:23,040
\nBoy, I’m hungry.
\nI was afraid to light a BBQ up <\/p>\n
779
\n00:41:23,040 –> 00:41:26,080
\nwhen I had the boat going, but
\nthere’s a lot of things I can <\/p>\n
780
\n00:41:26,080 –> 00:41:29,880
\nthink of.
\nBut where did they start? <\/p>\n
781
\n00:41:31,160 –> 00:41:35,600
\nDedication to the father and
\noffering a burnt offering a. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:41:35,640 –> 00:41:39,600
\nWhole burnt offering so that we
\ncan see in the 7th the <\/p>\n
783
\n00:41:39,600 –> 00:41:43,400
\ncompletion of the covenant, the
\nascension to the Father. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:41:44,040 –> 00:41:48,480
\nAnother reference to Jesus, and
\nwhat makes that so interesting <\/p>\n
785
\n00:41:48,480 –> 00:41:52,200
\nis we’ve spent so much time
\ngoing back to the early parts of<\/p>\n
786
\n00:41:52,200 –> 00:41:54,760
\nGenesis to see how this is just
\nbuilding on the story we already<\/p>\n
787
\n00:41:54,760 –> 00:41:58,120
\nhad.
\nAnd so in this altar, now we can<\/p>\n
788
\n00:41:58,120 –> 00:42:01,400
\nbuild on the story that starts
\nin Genesis chapter 3, when the <\/p>\n
789
\n00:42:01,400 –> 00:42:04,080
\nangels provided a coat of skins
\nfor the covering of sin required<\/p>\n
790
\n00:42:04,080 –> 00:42:07,960
\nthe shedding of blood and the
\nobject lesson to that, Cain and <\/p>\n
791
\n00:42:07,960 –> 00:42:10,840
\nAbel.
\nAnd then we have a reference <\/p>\n
792
\n00:42:10,840 –> 00:42:14,720
\npoint.
\nCain and Abel in the in the <\/p>\n
793
\n00:42:14,720 –> 00:42:17,480
\nprocess of time came to offer
\nbefore God. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:42:17,680 –> 00:42:21,080
\nThere’s no reference.
\nThere was a command they came to<\/p>\n
795
\n00:42:21,080 –> 00:42:25,680
\noffer Cain.
\nI cultivate fruit and <\/p>\n
796
\n00:42:25,680 –> 00:42:28,360
\nvegetables.
\nI’m going to give God what I <\/p>\n
797
\n00:42:28,360 –> 00:42:31,080
\nhave.
\nNow we look at Cain and we see <\/p>\n
798
\n00:42:31,080 –> 00:42:32,920
\nthe end result as evil.
\nAnd it is. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:42:33,360 –> 00:42:35,360
\nBut we must note that it doesn’t
\nstart there. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:42:35,480 –> 00:42:37,720
\nIt starts with somebody wanting
\nto give God something. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:42:37,840 –> 00:42:39,440
\nHow can that be bad?
\nWell, it’s only. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:42:39,440 –> 00:42:41,080
\nBad when God says I don’t really
\nwant that. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:42:41,680 –> 00:42:43,200
\nAnd we said, well, too bad,
\nthat’s what I want to give you. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:42:43,200 –> 00:42:46,560
\nOK, now you’ve crossed the line.
\nIn fact, the Genesis record says<\/p>\n
805
\n00:42:46,560 –> 00:42:50,040
\nthat because he says, if you do
\nwell, will I not also accept <\/p>\n
806
\n00:42:50,040 –> 00:42:51,760
\nyour offering?
\nAnd nowhere in Scripture do we <\/p>\n
807
\n00:42:51,760 –> 00:42:54,160
\nhave any evidence that God says
\nyou can have the totally <\/p>\n
808
\n00:42:54,160 –> 00:42:56,600
\nmiserable heart, but if you
\nfollow the right rule, I’ll <\/p>\n
809
\n00:42:56,600 –> 00:42:58,480
\naccept you.
\nThat’s not biblical. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:42:58,880 –> 00:43:01,120
\nSo the fact that God said I
\nwould accept you tells you your <\/p>\n
811
\n00:43:01,120 –> 00:43:03,560
\nheart’s not the problem here,
\nbut your action is. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:43:03,840 –> 00:43:05,800
\nFix your action and I’ll accept
\nyou. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:43:06,080 –> 00:43:10,760
\nBut if not.
\nLike there’s a there’s a sin <\/p>\n
814
\n00:43:10,760 –> 00:43:12,600
\noffering on your porch and
\nyou’re going to need them. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:43:12,720 –> 00:43:15,160
\nThe Minka, That’s what it says
\nin the Hebrew. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:43:16,040 –> 00:43:16,720
\nSo you don’t.
\nYou’re not. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:43:16,720 –> 00:43:18,440
\nYou haven’t sinned yet because
\nyou’re ignorant. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:43:18,440 –> 00:43:21,440
\nBut now, if you now know I don’t
\nwant that and you refuse to give<\/p>\n
819
\n00:43:21,440 –> 00:43:23,240
\nit to me, you’re going to need a
\nsin offering. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:43:23,920 –> 00:43:25,920
\nObviously, Cain was not willing
\nto change. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:43:26,280 –> 00:43:28,720
\nAnd as a result of that, killed
\nhis brother. <\/p>\n
822
\n00:43:28,720 –> 00:43:33,640
\nSo we added insult to injury,
\nbut his brother became the model<\/p>\n
823
\n00:43:33,640 –> 00:43:36,120
\nthen of.
\nWhat it is to have a life is <\/p>\n
824
\n00:43:36,120 –> 00:43:40,800
\ndedicated to God and can be seen
\nraising as a sweet smelling <\/p>\n
825
\n00:43:40,800 –> 00:43:42,920
\nsavour to the Father.
\nWhere do we get that? <\/p>\n
826
\n00:43:44,280 –> 00:43:47,400
\nOh, in the book of James where
\nit talks about Abel whose life <\/p>\n
827
\n00:43:47,400 –> 00:43:50,400
\nwas as a vapour, which is what
\nAbel needs. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:43:51,560 –> 00:43:53,360
\nInteresting.
\nAs we start tying these early <\/p>\n
829
\n00:43:53,360 –> 00:43:58,080
\nstories together, we then get a
\nchance to see God’s work at work<\/p>\n
830
\n00:43:58,080 –> 00:43:59,680
\nin the world, building on
\nsymbols. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:44:00,040 –> 00:44:04,240
\nAnd we’re only on the 8th
\nchapter of the book and we see <\/p>\n
832
\n00:44:04,240 –> 00:44:06,240
\nso much of what God has
\ndesigned. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:44:06,600 –> 00:44:08,600
\nEverywhere because our God is
\nembedding them. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:44:08,600 –> 00:44:11,200
\nEarly so we can build on them
\nfor the rest of our lives. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:44:11,880 –> 00:44:15,960
\nNow I like to think of of these
\nthat were put on the offer that <\/p>\n
836
\n00:44:15,960 –> 00:44:18,640
\none of every clean.
\nFound its way here, which would <\/p>\n
837
\n00:44:18,640 –> 00:44:22,200
\nmake it the 7th and you think
\nabout all the work in <\/p>\n
838
\n00:44:22,200 –> 00:44:24,320
\npreparation to required to make
\nit happen. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:44:26,160 –> 00:44:28,560
\nAnd here’s God’s response to the
\nfamily of Noah. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:44:29,560 –> 00:44:33,480
\nThe Lord smelled a sweet savour,
\nand the Lord said in his heart, <\/p>\n
841
\n00:44:33,480 –> 00:44:35,920
\nI will not again curse the
\nground anymore for man’s sake, <\/p>\n
842
\n00:44:35,920 –> 00:44:39,240
\nfor the imagination of man’s
\nheart is evil from his youth. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:44:39,440 –> 00:44:43,680
\nNeither will I again smite
\nanymore every living thing as I <\/p>\n
844
\n00:44:43,680 –> 00:44:49,000
\nhave done.
\nThe word translated sweet savor <\/p>\n
845
\n00:44:49,720 –> 00:44:54,760
\nin the Hebrew is a word that
\nmeans savor of rest. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:44:56,480 –> 00:45:00,120
\nOh, it’s tied specifically to
\nNoah and the number 7. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:45:00,280 –> 00:45:03,120
\nSo every time we make that
\nreference, whether it’s in a <\/p>\n
848
\n00:45:03,120 –> 00:45:06,080
\nreading or in a prayer, the
\nsweet smelling savour is a <\/p>\n
849
\n00:45:06,080 –> 00:45:10,360
\ndirect connection back to the
\nfirst altar, the life of Noah, <\/p>\n
850
\n00:45:10,520 –> 00:45:12,520
\nthe completion of a covenant and
\nseven all of. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:45:12,520 –> 00:45:15,240
\nWhich pointing towards the work
\nof our Jesus, our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
852
\n00:45:15,240 –> 00:45:18,320
\nChrist.
\nNow we have a nice interesting <\/p>\n
853
\n00:45:18,320 –> 00:45:20,240
\nnote here about.
\nThe heart that the heart, the <\/p>\n
854
\n00:45:20,240 –> 00:45:23,040
\nimagination of every man’s heart
\nis evil and this is the center <\/p>\n
855
\n00:45:23,040 –> 00:45:27,520
\nof thinking to their day.
\nWe’re good at designing evil <\/p>\n
856
\n00:45:27,520 –> 00:45:30,520
\nthings.
\nWe as people are good at <\/p>\n
857
\n00:45:30,520 –> 00:45:32,880
\ndesigning things that pleasure
\nourselves and give us <\/p>\n
858
\n00:45:32,880 –> 00:45:36,520
\nself-service if we do.
\nNot try to rein that in by <\/p>\n
859
\n00:45:36,520 –> 00:45:40,440
\noverriding the thinking of the
\nflesh with the mind of God. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:45:41,360 –> 00:45:44,120
\nWhy we go back to Genesis
\nchapter 3 and we see the curse <\/p>\n
861
\n00:45:44,120 –> 00:45:47,320
\nof the serpent, the thinking of
\nthe flesh without considering <\/p>\n
862
\n00:45:47,320 –> 00:45:49,960
\nthe mind of the Father.
\nAnd what was the curse of the of<\/p>\n
863
\n00:45:50,120 –> 00:45:53,200
\nthe serpent?
\nTo be a dust liquor. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:45:55,320 –> 00:45:57,840
\nFrom dust out lust to dust out
\nshalt return the. <\/p>\n
865
\n00:45:57,840 –> 00:46:03,440
\nModel for both the cursing for
\nfollowing the imagination of the<\/p>\n
866
\n00:46:03,440 –> 00:46:07,440
\nevil heart is paired right next
\nto the path that leads to life <\/p>\n
867
\n00:46:07,440 –> 00:46:10,720
\nthe covering of sin requires a
\nshedding of blood and we see in <\/p>\n
868
\n00:46:10,720 –> 00:46:14,920
\nboth of these the example of
\nJesus and his perfect obedience <\/p>\n
869
\n00:46:15,040 –> 00:46:16,760
\nhaving the lust of the flesh
\nlust the. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:46:16,760 –> 00:46:20,440
\nEyes pride of life, focusing on
\nthe word of the Father, and <\/p>\n
871
\n00:46:20,440 –> 00:46:23,040
\nthough it required pain and
\nsacrifice on his behalf. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:46:23,720 –> 00:46:26,720
\nLaid down his life on the altar
\nof life to give you and I hope <\/p>\n
873
\n00:46:26,840 –> 00:46:32,280
\nof eternal life.
\nWhile the earth remaineth seed, <\/p>\n
874
\n00:46:32,280 –> 00:46:36,360
\ntime and harvest, cold and heat,
\nwinter and our summer and winter<\/p>\n
875
\n00:46:36,360 –> 00:46:37,920
\nand day and night shall not
\ncease. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:46:38,600 –> 00:46:41,880
\nAnd so we see from this just the
\nopportunity. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:46:41,880 –> 00:46:45,520
\nRemember, our God is in control
\nand a reminder that God always <\/p>\n
878
\n00:46:45,520 –> 00:46:48,720
\nkeeps his promises.
\nAnd so we’ll we’ll close with a <\/p>\n
879
\n00:46:48,720 –> 00:46:51,280
\nquote from Ecclesiastes 1 and.
\nFour. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:46:51,280 –> 00:46:56,040
\nThat says one generation passeth
\naway and another generation <\/p>\n
881
\n00:46:56,040 –> 00:46:59,040
\ncometh, but the earth abideth
\nforever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
