Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 202<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:06,600 –> 00:00:08,800
\nWestern christadelphians Bible
\nschool. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,800 –> 00:00:12,900
\nAt Minooka, this is the third
\nclass in a series given by <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:12,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nbrother, Matthew blew it on the
\nsubject. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,700 –> 00:00:21,100
\nMeditations in Revelation.
\nThis class is titled names and <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:21,100 –> 00:00:28,900
\nplaces.
\nWell, good morning everyone. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:29,100 –> 00:00:30,700
\nGood to see you all this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,200 –> 00:00:33,600
\nEverybody recovered from the
\ndancing. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:34,500 –> 00:00:39,100
\nVery impressed in the skills you
\nhave over here at West certainly<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:39,100 –> 00:00:44,600
\ngot some of the frontier skills
\nstill there in your blood so <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:46,100 –> 00:00:48,600
\ngreat to be here and see that.
\nSo we’re going to carry on with <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:52,000
\nour meditations and Revelation
\nand what we going to be doing in<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:55,500
\nthe next three sessions is
\nreally a sharing some <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:55,500 –> 00:00:58,000
\nmeditations with you hopefully,
\nThrough that process, may be <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:58,000 –> 00:01:02,200
\nsharing some spiritual insights.
\nAlso just going over the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:06,100
\napproach that I’ve used.
\nAnd through example, hopefully, <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:06,300 –> 00:01:10,000
\nencouraging and inspiring more
\npeople to want to use Revelation<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:14,700
\nas a meditation book, book to to
\ngain these spiritual principles <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:14,700 –> 00:01:16,900
\nfor today.
\nAnd what I’ve tried to also do <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:20,600
\nin the next three sessions is to
\nis to group The meditations in <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:20,600 –> 00:01:24,400
\nto reveal the diversity of the
\nBook of Revelation that I’ve <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:26,400
\nspoken to.
\nSo you’ll see today we’re going <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:26,400 –> 00:01:32,200
\nto use examples of meditations
\nthat refer to places and people.<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:35,100
\nSo if you’re the kind of person
\nthat likes to think about <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:35,100 –> 00:01:38,200
\nrelationships and that talks
\nyour language then Revelations, <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:38,200 –> 00:01:40,300
\ngot something for you tomorrow,
\nwe’ll look at numbers. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:40,500 –> 00:01:43,700
\nIf you’re more of a spread sheet
\nnumbers person, then Revelations<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:43,700 –> 00:01:48,100
\ngot passages for you and the
\nlast day we’ll look at colors <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:48,100 –> 00:01:51,500
\ncolors and pictures so if you’re
\nmore of an IT person Revelation <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:51,500 –> 00:01:53,800
\ncan speak to you as well.
\nAnd I think that’s the power of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:53,800 –> 00:01:56,400
\na whole Bible but specifically
\nsaid in the Book of Revelation, <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:56,400 –> 00:02:00,000
\nit’s It’s diversity in the way
\nthat it’s expressing the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:02,400
\nmessage.
\nAnd and I think that’s very <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:05,600
\npowerful for us to use in our
\nown preaching that we’ve got to <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:08,699
\nrealize, we’re talking to people
\nfrom different backgrounds, who <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:08,699 –> 00:02:10,800
\nhave different languages that
\nthey communicate, and we can’t <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:10,800 –> 00:02:12,900
\nhave only one method of doing
\nthat and I think it’s <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:12,900 –> 00:02:15,400
\nbeautifully summarized in the
\nBook of Revelation. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:15,700 –> 00:02:18,800
\nSo we’re going to start with a
\nlittle Revelation, but very <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:21,300
\nsmall meditation.
\nAnd then I’m going to go through<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:21,700 –> 00:02:23,400
\nwhat I’ve caught in the past are
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:26,600
\nBut swear, we’ve got something
\nthat we’ve chased up a bit <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:28,100
\nfirst.
\nFurther and some interesting <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:31,300
\ninsights that have come from my
\nmeditations. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:31,700 –> 00:02:37,200
\nSo starting with this passage
\nfrom very well-known passage <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:37,500 –> 00:02:40,300
\nit’s go back where we can get it
\nin full screen or as best as we <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:40,300 –> 00:02:46,400
\ncan and it’s from Revelation
\nchapter 14 and we have read this<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:48,200
\nmessage.
\nI guess many times before. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:48,600 –> 00:02:51,900
\nIt says another Angel followed
\nsaying Babylon is Fallen is <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:51,900 –> 00:02:56,500
\nFallen that great City because
\nshe has made all nations drink <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:56,500 –> 00:02:59,200
\nof the On of the wrath of her
\nfornication. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:59,500 –> 00:03:01,900
\nSo, one morning that was my
\nmeditation. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:02,500 –> 00:03:06,500
\nA passage that you think, well,
\nwhat spiritual Insight can we <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:09,800
\nget from this passage?
\nAnd so as I was thinking and <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:14,400
\nfocusing on it and trying to
\nfocus on the detail of a passage<\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:14,400 –> 00:03:17,600
\nthat I’ve read so many times
\nbefore, and as I’ve mentioned <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:17,600 –> 00:03:21,300
\nbefore, it’s in passages that we
\nread so many times before that, <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:21,300 –> 00:03:24,700
\nwe’ve got to work a bit harder
\nto to try and see perhaps a <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:24,708 –> 00:03:27,100
\nmessage for us.
\nAnd the thing that caught At my <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:27,100 –> 00:03:29,500
\nattention.
\nIs this phrase? <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:29,500 –> 00:03:33,900
\nBabylon is Fallen is fallen.
\nIn fact, it’s used like in that <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:33,900 –> 00:03:37,300
\nsame way actually originally in
\nthe book of Isaiah Babylon is <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:37,300 –> 00:03:40,500
\nFallen is fallen.
\nAnd, you know, it comes over <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:40,500 –> 00:03:44,400
\nlips so easily, it doesn’t it.
\nAnd we know that in the New <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:44,400 –> 00:03:47,600
\nTestament, specifically often a
\nword is repeated for emphasis, <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:47,600 –> 00:03:51,900
\nJesus would say truly, truly, I
\nsay unto you, verily verily. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:55,300
\nIn other words, what I’m about
\nto say is, is important. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:55,300 –> 00:03:58,500
\nYou need to concentrate But on
\nthe morning that I was thinking <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:58,500 –> 00:04:01,100
\nabout this, I thought a bit more
\ndeeply about this idea. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:04,400
\nThat Babylon is Fallen is
\nfallen. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,500
\nAnd what got me thinking is, as
\nI was thinking about The Echoes <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:08,500 –> 00:04:11,000
\nof Babylon.
\nI mean, the obvious thought came<\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:15,200
\nto my mind here in the Book of
\nRevelation Babylon is such an <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:15,200 –> 00:04:19,200
\nimportant city.
\nIt’s a big part of the narrative<\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:23,400
\nand yet we know that Babylon,
\nshouldn’t even be here. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:24,200 –> 00:04:29,700
\nBecause the Babylon that we have
\nmet in the time of Daniel and in<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:29,700 –> 00:04:34,200
\nthe Prophecies of Isaiah and
\nother Major Prophets has been <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:36,900
\ndestroyed, it was prophesied
\nthat it would be destroyed. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:37,400 –> 00:04:39,400
\nWe all know this well-known
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:41,900 –> 00:04:46,500
\nSo, the echo that that obviously
\nis from our first principles, is<\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:51,100
\nthis idea that Babylon us?
\nWe can see the glory of the <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:53,100
\nKingdom’s.
\nThe beauty of the Chaldeans <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:53,100 –> 00:04:57,300
\nPride will be as when God
\noverthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, it<\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:57,300 –> 00:05:01,200
\nwill never be inhabited.
\nAnd of course, we take this <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:01,200 –> 00:05:04,400
\nbeautiful Prophecy from Isaiah
\nand we say, there it is. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:06,300
\nIt’s been four full bail on his
\ndestroyed. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:06,300 –> 00:05:10,500
\nYou can go there and the fact
\nthat it remains a rune is <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:10,700 –> 00:05:14,900
\nContinuous proof of the power
\nthat God has over the nation’s. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:15,300 –> 00:05:17,800
\nAnd yet we sort of Liberty come
\ninto Revelation. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:20,700
\nAnd we find this Babylon and
\nit’s there and it’s alive. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:23,600
\nAnd of course, the way we
\nreconcile that is quite simply <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:27,000
\nwe say, well, that that’s the
\nphysical Babylon that was <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:28,700
\ndestroyed in here in the Book of
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:28,700 –> 00:05:32,600
\nWe are being taught that there
\nis a spirit of Babylon which is <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:34,800
\nan interesting Insight because
\noften we spend more time trying <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:38,700
\nto identify a particular city
\nthat is Babylon, whereas the <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:41,700
\nfact that physical Babylon
\nremains just Asteroid is <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:41,700 –> 00:05:44,500
\nscreaming at us.
\nThat what we have in Revelation <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:44,700 –> 00:05:47,800
\nis the spirit of Babylon,
\nbrought to life, not necessarily<\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:47,800 –> 00:05:52,500
\nin one city, but in a way that
\ndemonstrates all that Babylon <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:52,500 –> 00:05:55,500
\nstood for and will actually see
\nthat a bit later in another one <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:55,500 –> 00:05:58,500
\nof my meditations.
\nSo, that’s an interesting Echo. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:04,400
\nAnd so this idea that Babylon is
\nFallen is Fallen, is perhaps <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:04,400 –> 00:06:08,900
\nmaking us also think that in
\nfact, Babylon has to be <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:08,900 –> 00:06:13,500
\ndestroyed twice And, and that’s
\nan interesting idea. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:13,500 –> 00:06:19,500
\nWhen we view sin itself, we
\nunderstand as Jesus said that, <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:19,500 –> 00:06:24,100
\nwe’ve got to be very careful in
\nour view of sin that sin <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:28,500
\nactually has to be dealt with on
\nthe outside and the inside. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:29,300 –> 00:06:31,500
\nWe can live lives.
\nLike the Pharisees were living <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:31,500 –> 00:06:33,300
\nwhere it looks like.
\nThey’ve dealt with all the <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:33,300 –> 00:06:36,700
\noutside manifestations of this.
\nAnd as he said, you’ve made the <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:36,700 –> 00:06:40,000
\noutside look, very clean, but
\nyou haven’t dealt with the <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:40,600 –> 00:06:43,600
\nInside the thoughts and intents
\nof your heart. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:47,200
\nHave not been dealt with.
\nAnd really, in the sense, we’re <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:47,200 –> 00:06:51,700
\ntaught that sin requires a
\ndouble blow, it needs to be <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:51,700 –> 00:06:54,900
\ndealt with twice as it were
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:57,500
\nA summarizes this beautifully in
\nPsalm 51. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:57,500 –> 00:07:01,800
\nHe says, hide your face from my
\nsins and blot out all my <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:03,600
\niniquities.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:03,600 –> 00:07:06,400
\nThat’s I need forgiveness for
\nthe things that I’ve done wrong,<\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:09,200
\nbut that alone doesn’t deal with
\nmy problem. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:09,700 –> 00:07:12,500
\nYou know, you can Can, you know,
\nkill the tree, but if you <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:12,500 –> 00:07:14,600
\nhaven’t dealt with the roots,
\nwill take out the weed. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:17,300
\nBut if you haven’t taken out the
\nroots, it’s coming back. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:18,000 –> 00:07:20,900
\nI need to also have my heart
\ncleaned. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:23,100
\nThis is what David understood.
\nI need. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:23,100 –> 00:07:27,000
\nI need you to come in and change
\nmy very way of thinking, because<\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:29,900
\neven though today, I didn’t do
\nthat thing that I didn’t want to<\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:29,907 –> 00:07:33,800
\ndo tomorrow.
\nIt’s coming back so so sit in a <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:33,808 –> 00:07:37,500
\nway, needs to be destroyed.
\nObviously, in the outside, we <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:37,500 –> 00:07:40,100
\nneed to work and stop ourselves
\nfrom doing the things that we <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:42,200
\nought to.
\nDo, but the way that ultimately <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:46,200
\ntakes place is by the inside
\nalso being cleansed. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:46,300 –> 00:07:50,900
\nSo perhaps there’s this idea
\nthat Babylon is Fallen is Fallen<\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:51,600 –> 00:07:55,200
\nteaching us that we need to
\nunderstand that certain our Labs<\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:55,500 –> 00:07:58,800
\nrequires the double blow that
\nDavid I think is referring to. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:59,100 –> 00:08:02,900
\nSo there’s a quick thought, just
\nfrom the idea of Babylon is <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:07,100
\nFallen is Fallen a little tidbit
\nin that same little passage, is <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:07,100 –> 00:08:12,600
\nthe idea that Babylon is always
\nreferred to as Great Babylon in,<\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:15,100
\nin the, in both actually in
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:19,000
\nAnd in many of the texts that we
\nfound in Isaiah and you might <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:22,400
\nwant to think about why, what’s
\nthe reason for that Echo? <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:22,500 –> 00:08:24,600
\nThe word great.
\nBy the way, in Greek is the <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:26,700
\nword, Mega.
\nWe still use that word today. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:27,100 –> 00:08:29,300
\nSo I’ll leave you with that.
\nThought for yourself. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:30,200 –> 00:08:33,600
\nI want to start to go to this
\npassage which is the passage if <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:35,400
\nyou’ve got your Bibles open
\nbecause that’s not very clear. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:35,900 –> 00:08:39,299
\nStill battling with resolution,
\nyou know, if we go to Revelation<\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:39,299 –> 00:08:42,200
\nchapter 7, you I want to open
\nyour Bibles, thanks for that <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:48,100
\nRevelation chapter 7 and there
\nis the the passage that deals <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:48,100 –> 00:08:50,600
\nwith the sealed of God.
\nVery well-known. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:55,900
\nBeautiful passage describing,
\nwhat we call the 144,000 these <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:55,900 –> 00:08:59,500
\nhave been washed, had their
\nclothes washed in the blood of <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:59,500 –> 00:09:03,400
\nthe lamb and have been sealed
\nwith the name of God, on their <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:03,400 –> 00:09:07,100
\nforeheads.
\nAnd what morning when I was <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:11,200
\nconsidering this passage what
\ncaught my attention, And what <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:16,400
\ncaught my focus is the way when
\nthis this multitude are <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:16,400 –> 00:09:21,600
\ndescribed, I heard how many
\nthere were who were marked with <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:27,300
\nthe Seal of the Lord 144,000
\nfrom all the tribes of Israel. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:28,200 –> 00:09:29,700
\nAll right?
\nAnd I think in another version <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:29,700 –> 00:09:32,800
\nit says from the children the
\ntribes of the children of <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,100
\nIsrael, we’re going to highlight
\nthem in the moment and then he <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:35,100 –> 00:09:38,800
\ngoes on to say, I’ll tell you
\nhow those hundred and forty-four<\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:42,100
\nthousand were made up.
\nHe then mentions each of the <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:42,100 –> 00:09:45,000
\ntribes and gives us the the
\nnumber twelve thousand for <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:49,500
\nJudah, 12,000 for Ruben, 12,000
\nfor Levi, and I won’t go through<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:49,500 –> 00:09:51,900
\nall the lists, what caught my
\nattention and this is what often<\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:51,900 –> 00:09:54,800
\ncatches, your attention when
\nyou’re meditating, is the level <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:54,800 –> 00:09:57,800
\nof detail again.
\nI mean he could have stopped by <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:57,800 –> 00:10:01,900
\nsaying, you know, I saw a great
\ncrowd 144,000 of the tribes of <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:01,900 –> 00:10:05,000
\nthe children of Israel and we
\nwould have had a good picture, <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:05,600 –> 00:10:09,800
\nbut he goes specifically to
\nmention each of the names of the<\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:12,400
\ntribes.
\nAnd to tell us that each of them<\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,000
\nis allocated 12,000.
\nSo, I think, you know, again <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,500
\nfrom a from a high-level point
\nof view there we go. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:18,600 –> 00:10:20,400
\nJust need to press the button,
\nthen it would have been nice and<\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:20,400 –> 00:10:23,100
\nclear from a high-level point of
\nview. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:23,100 –> 00:10:27,400
\nWhat we’re seeing is, is this
\nbeautiful idea that amongst the <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:27,400 –> 00:10:30,700
\nsteel of God, amongst the reveal
\nthe redeemed, there’s a place <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:30,700 –> 00:10:33,000
\nfor all of us.
\nThere’s a place for everyone. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:36,900
\nIt’s an entry of abundance,
\nthere’s an abundant injury often<\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:40,500
\nwe obviously look with fear and
\nuncertainty will. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:40,700 –> 00:10:43,800
\nBe a place for me.
\nBut the message in Revelation <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:46,400
\nand certainly In this passage is
\nthis a place for everyone. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:46,600 –> 00:10:51,200
\nThere’s 12,000 for every tribe.
\nAnd and I think the reason every<\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:51,200 –> 00:10:55,100
\ntribe is named is in a way.
\nYes, we’re no, the allusions to <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:55,800 –> 00:10:58,600
\nthe spiritual Israel and and
\nback to each of the tribes. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:58,600 –> 00:10:59,600
\nAnd we’ll look at that in a
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:02,900
\nBut the point is each trap.
\nAlso, represented. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:05,100
\nI’ve been talking about
\ndiversity different <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:05,100 –> 00:11:07,000
\ncharacteristics and all of them
\nare there. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:09,900
\nAll of your cultural
\nbackgrounds. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:09,900 –> 00:11:12,800
\nAll of your heritage all of your
\npersonality traits. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:13,300 –> 00:11:16,200
\nGod has a place for every one of
\nyou and your Equity treat it <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:19,800
\n12,000 for each.
\nAnd of course that message is <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:22,400
\ncoming out strongly because when
\nwe go back to look at the tribes<\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:22,400 –> 00:11:25,800
\nas they recorded in numbers,
\nwhen the numberings were done, <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:29,000
\nthey were certainly not equal in
\nsize, some of the tribes were <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:29,300 –> 00:11:32,800
\ntwo times the volume in terms of
\npopulation, the number then <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:32,800 –> 00:11:35,900
\nother tribes had some very
\nfertile woman in their tribes. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:40,400
\nSo but when we come, The message
\nof of the Seal of God, every <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:44,100
\nchild receives 12,000, abundant
\nentry space for everyone that’s <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:44,100 –> 00:11:48,300
\ninspiration for us.
\nBut then of course, we do know, <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:48,300 –> 00:11:51,900
\njust a little detail, little
\ndetail becomes apparent and it’s<\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:56,400
\nthis detail.
\nHere is the, the tribes of the <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:56,400 –> 00:12:00,200
\nchildren of Israel and he goes
\nthrough each of them and names <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:02,200
\nthem.
\nAnd and what do we notice? <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:06,500
\nWell there’s a list of
\nRevelation chapter 7 when we go <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:06,500 –> 00:12:10,800
\nback to Genesis chapter 29,
\nwhere we have a list of the <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:10,800 –> 00:12:14,400
\nchildren of Israel.
\nWe notice of course that the <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:19,600
\nlist in Revelation chapter 7 is
\nmissing someone and that is Dan.<\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:22,400
\nNow you’ll know that in Numbers
\nChapter 1, when the tribes are <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:25,100
\nlisted in terms of the way that
\nCamped around the Tabernacle, <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:25,500 –> 00:12:29,700
\nEphraim and Manasseh as a part
\nof the double portion coming to <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:29,708 –> 00:12:34,200
\nreplace Joseph.
\nAnd Levi, although remaining as <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:34,200 –> 00:12:37,600
\na tribe was not one of the
\ntribes that kept in the twelve <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:40,900
\nencampments the three
\nencampments on the four points <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:40,900 –> 00:12:44,400
\nof the compass.
\nBut I think when you look at the<\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:48,200
\ncomparison between Revelation
\nchapter 7 and Genesis 29 being <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:48,200 –> 00:12:50,900
\nthe children of Israel and
\nthat’s the reference that’s made<\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:50,900 –> 00:12:53,500
\nin Revelation chapter 7 the
\nmissing person actually. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:53,600 –> 00:12:57,000
\nAshley is Dan.
\nWhat’s happened is Levi’s, been <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:57,000 –> 00:13:01,200
\nbrought back in as you can see,
\nand then Joseph is brought back <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:01,200 –> 00:13:04,300
\nbecause he is one of the
\nchildren and in replace of Dan <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:08,300
\nin, in place of Dan is Manasseh,
\nwho, in fact was the firstborn <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:08,700 –> 00:13:11,400
\nchild of Joseph?
\nPerhaps he’s there because of <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:12,700
\nthe double portion.
\nI’m sure we could have <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:12,700 –> 00:13:17,100
\ndiscussions about that, but the
\nmissing tribe is Dan, you know, <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:17,100 –> 00:13:19,700
\nI thought about it.
\nI thought imagine this, you <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:19,700 –> 00:13:22,500
\nknow, it’s this beautiful scene
\nis painted. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:22,500 –> 00:13:27,000
\nImagine if you were Part of the
\ntribe of Dan and you come to <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:31,200
\nthis Revelation chapter 7 and
\nyou come to imagine the picture <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:32,100 –> 00:13:34,100
\nand you know like when we all
\nlook through photograph albums <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:34,100 –> 00:13:36,200
\nIf we’re honest we looking
\nthrough a photograph album. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:38,700
\nLook at the photos and suddenly
\nwe were looking for one of our <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:42,400
\nselfie suddenly stopped or here.
\nI am we we drawn to ourselves. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:46,000
\nWe might not want to show it, we
\nput but if you are of the tribe <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:50,500
\nof Dan and you were reading
\nRevelation chapter 7 You <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:50,500 –> 00:13:53,600
\nwouldn’t be very happy because
\nwe’re not be. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:54,900 –> 00:14:00,400
\nAnd so, it got my mind thinking
\nabout why, why would in this in <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:04,700
\nthis picture of abundance, in
\nthis picture of God making place<\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:04,700 –> 00:14:09,200
\nfor every trap, specifically One
\nTribe is left out. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:09,200 –> 00:14:12,300
\nSo let’s take a while just to
\nthink about what spiritual <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:12,300 –> 00:14:15,800
\nlesson we can take from missing
\nDan. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:20,900
\nNow, this idea of of one being
\nmissing amongst the chosen is is<\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:20,900 –> 00:14:23,900
\nEcho.
\nDefinitely in the life of Jesus.<\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:24,700 –> 00:14:29,100
\nRemember when Jesus said in John
\n6, did I not Choose You the <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:29,100 –> 00:14:33,100
\ntwelve and one of you is a
\ndevil, so there’s a lovely Echo.<\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:33,100 –> 00:14:39,200
\nTheir 12 chosen one has turned
\nTwelve Tribes, 12 children of <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:39,200 –> 00:14:41,700
\nIsrael.
\nOne is not there, of course, in <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:41,700 –> 00:14:44,700
\nthe case of of Judas, we know he
\nwas a betrayer. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:45,400 –> 00:14:49,500
\nHe was not prepared to wait for
\nJesus to work out his own <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:49,500 –> 00:14:52,700
\npurpose, he wanted to force the
\nissue, whatever your view is as <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:52,700 –> 00:14:56,900
\nto why he portrayed Jesus.
\nSo that’s quite clear but but <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:56,900 –> 00:15:01,400
\nDan is it the same spirit and
\nDan that that will not allow us <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:04,200
\nto be a part of those redeemed?
\nIt’s an important question. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:04,700 –> 00:15:06,800
\nSo let’s think a bit more about
\nthe on Sir. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:07,500 –> 00:15:13,600
\nLet’s go in search of Dan now
\ntypically people will say to you<\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:17,300
\nand I’ve certainly heard it that
\nDan is missing from this list <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:17,300 –> 00:15:21,700
\nand I’m sure some of you thought
\nabout it because his name means <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:21,700 –> 00:15:27,000
\nto judge and this list.
\nPeople that we have in <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:29,800
\nRevelation chapter 7 of the
\nredeemed. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:30,500 –> 00:15:33,600
\nMercy, we’ve been talking about
\nthat throughout this week, <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:33,700 –> 00:15:37,100
\ntriumphs over judgment.
\nSo, in a sense from just, the <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:37,100 –> 00:15:39,100
\nmeaning of his name, we
\nshouldn’t expect to find them <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:39,100 –> 00:15:41,900
\nthere because these are the ones
\nwho have had mercy. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:41,900 –> 00:15:45,700
\nSo, I guess there’s some Merit
\nin that, but when we dig deeper <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:45,700 –> 00:15:48,700
\nand we understand and we look
\nfor The Echoes, I think there’s <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:48,700 –> 00:15:53,200
\na greater spiritual principle
\nunderlying why someone might be <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:56,300
\nmissing despite But the
\navailability of mercy. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:57,000 –> 00:16:00,400
\nSo, so yes.
\nDad’s name does mean to judge to<\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:00,400 –> 00:16:03,600
\ncontend to vindicate?
\nThe question is, what is meant <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:06,600
\nby that judgment?
\nWhat do we mean by that <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:06,600 –> 00:16:07,700
\njudgment?
\nAnd the way to answer the <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:07,700 –> 00:16:10,900
\nquestion, of course, is what
\nwe’ll do just now is to go back <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:11,100 –> 00:16:14,600
\nto Genesis and to try and
\nunderstand what was the very <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:14,600 –> 00:16:17,700
\njeans that you re very DNA of
\nDan. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:18,100 –> 00:16:20,800
\nBefore we do that some
\ninteresting things Dan as a <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:20,800 –> 00:16:22,800
\nname, both referring to the
\nindividual. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:22,800 –> 00:16:26,400
\nAnd the tribe appears about 60
\ntimes in the bar, This surprised<\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:29,200
\nme, he’s the fifth most
\nreference son of Jacob. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:29,200 –> 00:16:32,400
\nSo you got the obvious guys that
\nyou would think are in the in <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:35,800
\nthe top spot Judah.
\nLevi obviously being mentioned <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:40,200
\nquite a lot of times but here is
\nDanforth and Lon he’s mentioned <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:40,500 –> 00:16:43,000
\na lot more than some other quite
\nfamous. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:43,000 –> 00:16:45,700
\nI think Ruben, for example, is
\nmentioned far less times and <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:45,700 –> 00:16:47,400
\nDan.
\nHe was the first born. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:47,700 –> 00:16:52,300
\nSo he becomes quite an important
\ntrap in the land of Israel. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:57,500
\nHe’s the only son Of Israel.
\nHe’s not mentioned at all in the<\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:57,500 –> 00:17:00,400
\nNew Testament at all.
\nSo not in Revelation nowhere in <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:00,408 –> 00:17:04,800
\nthe New Testament.
\nSo interesting, let’s do what <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:07,900
\nwe’ve been saying.
\nWe like to do and go back to <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:07,900 –> 00:17:10,700
\nGenesis and see if we can find
\nout something about Dan. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:11,099 –> 00:17:13,900
\nAnd I think the essence of the
\nspirit of Dan is actually <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:13,900 –> 00:17:16,900
\ncaptured in his naming and his
\nbirth. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:17,099 –> 00:17:20,500
\nSo this is what happens when he
\nis born. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:23,700
\nRachel said, God has Vindicated
\nme. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:23,700 –> 00:17:25,400
\nRemember, that was one of the,
\nthe tri-state. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:25,599 –> 00:17:27,500
\nSo, it’s named in the King James
\nversion. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:27,500 –> 00:17:30,800
\nIt says, God is Judge Me.
\nHe has listen to my plea and <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:33,600
\ngiven me a son because of the
\nshe named him, Dan. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:33,600 –> 00:17:36,800
\nSo here, she’s capturing the
\nvery Spirit of the birth of her <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:37,500
\nson.
\nDan? <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:38,600 –> 00:17:42,000
\nNow, I want you to think a bit
\nabout that word that’s been used<\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:42,000 –> 00:17:44,400
\nat the Tri-State, is choose to
\nuse the word Vindicated, <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:46,300
\nslightly different in our
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:46,300 –> 00:17:48,900
\nThe word judge.
\nI think it’s actually a bit more<\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:51,600
\nhelpful.
\nThe idea there is that God has <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:56,100
\ncome through for me, he and she
\nsays that I pleaded to him. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:56,200 –> 00:18:00,100
\nHe’s listen to my plea and he’s
\ngiven me what I wanted, which <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:00,100 –> 00:18:03,900
\nwas a son.
\nAs we unravel the story, we’re <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:03,900 –> 00:18:06,200
\ngoing to see that.
\nThere’s nothing true about that.<\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:07,200 –> 00:18:10,800
\nAnd this is where the real
\nspiritual truth lies. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:14,500
\nThat’s been revealed to us, I
\nBelieve by focusing on the <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:14,500 –> 00:18:17,300
\nmissing Dan in Revelation
\nchapter 7. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:18,500 –> 00:18:21,000
\nSo how does the story begin?
\nWell, you know, the story <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:25,200
\nthere’s a two wives and their in
\nthe baby competition and of <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:28,300
\ncourse, Rachel was the first one
\nup, she was the favorite. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:29,000 –> 00:18:33,100
\nAnd all she wanted to do was to
\ngive her husband a son, but she <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:33,100 –> 00:18:35,500
\nwas Barren.
\nAnd Leah was just producing the <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:39,000
\nwives one after of the wife’s.
\nThe sun’s one, after another <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:39,300 –> 00:18:44,000
\nfour in a row every season, and
\nshe becomes desperate, and look <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:44,000 –> 00:18:48,200
\nat what she says.
\nThis is when she saw that she <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:50,600
\nwas not bearing.
\nJacob, any children she became <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:50,600 –> 00:18:53,600
\njealous.
\nSo she said to Jacob, give me <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:53,600 –> 00:18:58,800
\nchildren or I will die.
\nSo immediately we learn a lot <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:58,800 –> 00:19:02,400
\nabout Rachel, don’t we?
\nShe has a problem. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:06,200
\nShe’s desperate for children.
\nShe doesn’t get on her knees, <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:10,000
\nlike, Hannah and pray to God
\nbecause she had on you. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:10,100 –> 00:19:12,200
\nThat.
\nThat’s where children come from.<\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:16,600
\nShe goes to Jacob, says, give me
\nchildren or I will die. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:21,000
\nJacob course, being a man of
\nFaith answers correctly. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:25,800
\nJacob became angry with her and
\nsaid, am I in place of God who <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,500
\nhas kept you from Children.
\nSo he points her in the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:29,508 –> 00:19:31,200
\ndirection that she should be
\ngoing. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:34,100
\nHe says, I’m not the one who can
\ngive you children. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:34,100 –> 00:19:35,900
\nIt’s God.
\nAnd I want you to notice those <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:35,900 –> 00:19:38,400
\nwords.
\nAm I in place of God. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:43,600
\nAm I the substitute for God in
\nthis case and so he’s <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:45,700
\nencouraging her.
\nAnd so what does Rachel do, does<\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:45,700 –> 00:19:48,600
\nshe get on her knees like henna
\nand pray for children as she <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:50,100
\nsaid.
\nShe’d it does she plead for <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:50,100 –> 00:19:51,700
\nchildren?
\nThat’s not in the record. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:52,800 –> 00:19:55,400
\nMaybe she did, but it’s not the
\nway the writer of Genesis <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:55,400 –> 00:19:57,100
\nchooses to reveal the story to
\nus. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:57,400 –> 00:20:03,000
\nThis is what she does.
\nSo, she said, here is my maid <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:07,100
\nbulla, go into her and she will
\nbear a child on my knees. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:07,200 –> 00:20:09,200
\nThat I also may have children by
\nher. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:14,600
\nShe came up with the solution.
\nIronically the solution she came<\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:14,600 –> 00:20:19,500
\nup with was the very solution
\nthat God had said to her, <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:19,500 –> 00:20:23,400
\nfather-in-law, father, right?
\nRemember when Abram was <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:26,000
\nwondering, where the promised
\nseed would come from, was he <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:26,000 –> 00:20:29,200
\ngoing to come through any ASA?
\nWas it going to come through his<\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:29,300 –> 00:20:32,900
\nhandmade that had been?
\nGiven to him from Sarah and God <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:32,900 –> 00:20:34,300
\nsaid very clearly.
\nNo, no, no. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:34,800 –> 00:20:37,600
\nYour wife Sarah will bear you.
\nA child. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:40,400
\nSo, in the family, they had
\nalready learnt this principle. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:40,400 –> 00:20:44,400
\nBut but for Rachel, she wanted
\nso desperately to have a son <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:48,900
\nthat she would find her own way
\nto do it and that the use of the<\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:49,000 –> 00:20:51,200
\nHebrew expression, I think it’s
\nlost in some of the newer <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:53,400
\ntranslations is so powerful,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:57,800
\nLook at that phrase and she will
\nbear a child on my knees. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:58,400 –> 00:21:01,300
\nShe’s giving us a visual image.
\nShe’s going to take this hand <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:01,300 –> 00:21:04,000
\nmate, and when she’s about to
\ngive birth, she’s going to put <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:06,900
\nher on her knees, so that it
\nwill appear that the child that <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:06,900 –> 00:21:11,500
\nis born is actually from Rachel.
\nI’ve done it. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:12,100 –> 00:21:14,800
\nI’ve given birth to a child to a
\nson. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:18,000
\nThere can be given to you.
\nJacob. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:19,000 –> 00:21:20,600
\nAnd when we stop to think about
\nthat. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:22,100 –> 00:21:25,800
\nAnd we now read these words.
\nGod has Vindicated me. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:28,900
\nHe has listened to my plea and
\ngiven me a son. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:31,700
\nWe understand how incorrect it
\nwas. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:31,900 –> 00:21:36,400
\nShe had Vindicated herself, she
\nhad judged herself. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:36,500 –> 00:21:42,100
\nShe had found a way to deliver
\non the problem that she had and <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:42,100 –> 00:21:48,700
\nI guess we might summarize that
\nparticular Spurt as this, my <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:48,700 –> 00:21:52,200
\nplan is God’s plan.
\nAnd, you know, so often in our <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:52,200 –> 00:21:54,900
\nlives, we find ourself in that
\nsituation. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:54,900 –> 00:21:59,200
\nWe find ourselves impatient not
\nwilling to wait for God to work <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:02,500
\nin us and through us.
\nAnd so, what we do is eventually<\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:02,500 –> 00:22:04,600
\nwe find our own way to do
\nwhatever it is. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:04,600 –> 00:22:07,500
\nWe want to achieve, but there’s
\nsomething a bit more Insidious <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:07,500 –> 00:22:11,800
\nyears in there and we’re good at
\ndoing this as well, we work our <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:11,800 –> 00:22:15,000
\nown solution and then we ascribe
\nit to God. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:15,900 –> 00:22:20,700
\nWe find a way to manipulate what
\nwe have done and say, well, it’s<\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:20,700 –> 00:22:23,900
\nthe work of God.
\nNow, I contested and you, and <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:23,900 –> 00:22:26,600
\nyou can test it on me, but in
\nour hearts and in our <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:26,600 –> 00:22:29,300
\nconscience, we can sometimes see
\nthat. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:30,200 –> 00:22:32,600
\nAnd this is where this danger
\nSpirit lies. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:32,800 –> 00:22:36,800
\nThis thing that God cannot
\nthrough his Mercy, because God’s<\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:42,500
\nmercy cannot deal with autonomy.
\nGod’s Mercy is only dependent on<\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:42,500 –> 00:22:44,700
\none thing that you are dependent
\non him. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:45,900 –> 00:22:49,200
\nThe the unforgivable sin that’s
\nin that says the spirit and <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:49,200 –> 00:22:53,200
\npower of God, the Holy Spirit
\nhas no power in my life because <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:57,000
\nmy power is what counts becomes
\nthe unforgivable sin. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:57,600 –> 00:23:00,200
\nMy plan is God’s plan.
\nNow, we see this. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:04,600
\nNow in the spirit of the birth
\nof Dan, The Echoes of Genesis <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,700
\nthat something about Dan speaks
\nto this desire to execute our <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:08,700 –> 00:23:10,400
\nown will.
\nBut as we go through now, very <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:13,600
\nquickly, we’ll do it as we go
\nthrough other parts of that and <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:15,500
\nwe see the same idea coming
\nthrough. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:15,700 –> 00:23:20,400
\nFor example, you’ll know that
\nJacob gave these blessings to <\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:20,408 –> 00:23:24,300
\nthe 12 children and they
\nsummarized the characteristics <\/p>\n
403
\n00:23:24,300 –> 00:23:26,800
\nof each of the Jordan show up on
\nthe screen yet when he was <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:29,400
\nblessing Judah.
\nHe summarized the vector Judah <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:29,400 –> 00:23:31,700
\nwas going to be a leader.
\nMaybe he really had demonstrated<\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:31,700 –> 00:23:35,500
\nthose qualities and he said
\nyou’re like a lion and from this<\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:35,500 –> 00:23:38,300
\nwe get the idea of the Lion of
\nthe tribe of Judah or a great <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:38,300 –> 00:23:42,100
\nleader.
\nWhat did he say when he came to <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:42,400 –> 00:23:46,600
\nDan?
\nHe said Dan shall judge his <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:48,300
\npeople as one of the tribes of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:48,600 –> 00:23:52,800
\nDan shall be a serpent by the
\nway, a Viper by the pot, that <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:52,800 –> 00:23:56,300
\nbotch the horses heels.
\nSo that it’s Rider shall fall <\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:56,300 –> 00:23:59,900
\nbackward.
\nSo isn’t this an amazing <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:59,900 –> 00:24:02,700
\ndescription of what we had seen
\nwith Rachel? <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:05,900
\nThis idea that Dan is going to
\njudge his people. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:05,900 –> 00:24:09,300
\nI don’t think he means become a
\njudge on behalf of God, he’s <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:09,300 –> 00:24:11,900
\ngoing to judge.
\nHis people will see a bit later.<\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:12,100 –> 00:24:16,800
\nAccording to his own way.
\nIt’s his own rules and not only <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:20,100
\nis he going to do that, he’s
\ngoing to be very deceptive, he’s<\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:20,100 –> 00:24:23,000
\ngoing to come as a snake behind
\nthe rider. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:24:23,100 –> 00:24:25,300
\nSo he’s going to be a snare to
\nthe rest of Israel. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:24:26,400 –> 00:24:28,500
\nAnd he’s going to present to
\nthem something that looks like <\/p>\n
423
\n00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:31,400
\nthe judgments of God and he’s
\ngoing to take them out just like<\/p>\n
424
\n00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:37,300
\nthe echo of the serpent that
\nsaid, God knows that the day <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:37,300 –> 00:24:40,400
\nthat you eat of the tree of the
\nknowledge of Good and Evil, you <\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:40,400 –> 00:24:43,700
\nwill become like him.
\nIn other words to present that, <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:47,500
\nthat this opportunity that you
\nhave Eve, is really not that <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:47,500 –> 00:24:51,000
\nbad, because really, it’s just a
\nway in which you can make the <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:51,000 –> 00:24:54,200
\njudgments of God yourself.
\nYou can discern between Good and<\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:54,200 –> 00:24:56,800
\nEvil.
\nAnd that was really the essence <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:56,800 –> 00:25:01,300
\nof the Serpent’s Temptation and
\nno wonder, Jacob says in Dan is <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:01,300 –> 00:25:05,900
\nthe spirit of that deception
\nthat thing which says I can make<\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:11,100
\nthe Judgment separate from God
\nand I can ascribe it to God. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:12,000 –> 00:25:14,900
\nIsn’t it interesting that
\nSuddenly at the end of his <\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:14,900 –> 00:25:17,800
\ndescription of Dan?
\nJacob puts Verse 18. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:18,800 –> 00:25:21,200
\nAnd when you’re reading it, you
\nthink I see put that in there, <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:21,200 –> 00:25:22,300
\nwhat’s that?
\nGot to do with the rest? <\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:22,600 –> 00:25:25,500
\nI have waited for your
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:25,700 –> 00:25:28,000
\nO Lord isn’t that the essence of
\nit? <\/p>\n
440
\n00:25:28,900 –> 00:25:32,800
\nWell is it that we want to
\nexecute our own judgment when it<\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:32,800 –> 00:25:36,000
\nis it that we want to do it our
\nway when we no longer prepared <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:36,000 –> 00:25:38,900
\nto wait?
\nYou see, patients is one of <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:38,900 –> 00:25:42,100
\nthose incredible qualities of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:42,100 –> 00:25:44,900
\nIt’s in almost all the lists
\nthat represent the <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:44,908 –> 00:25:47,200
\ncharacteristics of God.
\nIf you got to Exodus chapter 34,<\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:47,900 –> 00:25:51,000
\nit’s the third long-suffering,
\nmerciful gracious. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:51,000 –> 00:25:54,300
\nLong-suffering you go to the
\nfruit of the spirit. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:54,500 –> 00:25:55,800
\nWe’ve got love joy.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:55,900 –> 00:25:59,500
\nPatience, you go to the First
\nCorinthians 13. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:59,500 –> 00:26:00,900
\nDefinition of love.
\nLove is kind. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:00,900 –> 00:26:05,700
\nLove is patient.
\nOver and over again, patients, <\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:09,000
\nthis incredible, quality of
\nwaiting for the Salvation of the<\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:13,600
\nLord and Rachel couldn’t do it.
\nAnd it’s built into Dan and Dan <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:13,600 –> 00:26:16,700
\ncannot wait for God’s.
\nWill, to be worked out the very <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:16,700 –> 00:26:19,700
\nessence when it comes down to
\nthe crunch with the Lord. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:26:19,700 –> 00:26:21,900
\nJesus Christ.
\nWhat is it that he’s tested on <\/p>\n
457
\n00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:27,100
\nin the garden?
\nIt all comes down to this that <\/p>\n
458
\n00:26:27,100 –> 00:26:30,600
\nyour will may be done and not
\nmine. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:26:31,400 –> 00:26:33,000
\nThat was the essence of the
\ntest. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:34,500 –> 00:26:38,900
\nAnd so, when we go and have a
\nlook at the, the nation of Dan <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:38,900 –> 00:26:41,500
\nthe tribe that was born out of
\nthe spirit. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:45,500
\nWe’re not surprised that we find
\nthat they called the, the city <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:45,500 –> 00:26:48,900
\nthat was the capital of Dan
\nafter the name of Dan, he was <\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:48,900 –> 00:26:50,400
\ntheir leader.
\nSo, let’s call it down. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:54,000
\nHe’s going to be our judge.
\nAnd they, they the children, it <\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:58,000
\nsays, verse 30 of Dan sets up
\nfor themselves, a carved image, <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:58,300 –> 00:27:00,300
\nand Jonathan, the son of
\ngershom, the son of Vanessa. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:00,300 –> 00:27:03,100
\nAnd his sons were priests to the
\ntribe of Dan until the day of <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:03,100 –> 00:27:06,600
\nthe Captivity and I set up for
\nthemselves Bacchus cough image <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:06,700 –> 00:27:10,000
\nwhich he made all the time that
\nthe house of God was in China. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:10,000 –> 00:27:13,000
\nWhat do they do?
\nThey decided, you know what? <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:13,000 –> 00:27:16,000
\nWe still want to worship?
\nYes, we still believe in God. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:17,400
\nWe were seeing this.
\nWhat did you call it? <\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:18,000 –> 00:27:19,200
\nIt was a bit of weird seeing
\nChris. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:27:19,400 –> 00:27:22,800
\nWas it syncretism beautiful
\nsyncretism? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:26,900
\nThey mixed what work for them
\ntogether, what looked like, <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:26,900 –> 00:27:30,100
\nDevon and godly worship.
\nOwn priesthood, is to go to <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:30,100 –> 00:27:32,900
\npriesthood, we’ve got places to
\nworship, don’t need to go down <\/p>\n
479
\n00:27:32,900 –> 00:27:36,100
\nto Shiloh next.
\nLet’s mix what God has given us <\/p>\n
480
\n00:27:36,100 –> 00:27:38,200
\nbut that which is inconvenient
\nwill take out. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:39,000 –> 00:27:42,500
\nAnd presented back as something
\nacceptable. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:43,600 –> 00:27:44,900
\nYou see what’s so powerful
\nabout? <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:44,900 –> 00:27:48,000
\nThis isn’t just a normal sin,
\nGod can deal with those. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:48,000 –> 00:27:49,900
\nHe’s promised us that he will
\nwash them away. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:50,100 –> 00:27:55,300
\nThis cannot be dealt with, you
\nwon’t be amongst Revelation <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:55,300 –> 00:28:00,400
\nchapter 7 with this condition.
\nThose who swear by the sin of <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:00,400 –> 00:28:03,000
\nSumeria who say as your God
\nLives. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:03,000 –> 00:28:05,000
\nOh Dan?
\nAnd as the way of Beersheba, <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:05,100 –> 00:28:09,800
\nthey shall fall and look what it
\nsays and never rise again. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:10,600 –> 00:28:14,500
\nIn this state in this state,
\nwhat is called the city of <\/p>\n
491
\n00:28:14,500 –> 00:28:16,800
\nSamaria.
\nWhen you have given yourself <\/p>\n
492
\n00:28:16,800 –> 00:28:22,500
\nover to independence from God,
\nself-reliance autonomy, driving <\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:22,500 –> 00:28:26,100
\nyour own judgments.
\nThere is no place, you shall <\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:26,100 –> 00:28:28,900
\nnever rise again.
\nSo in summary, we have This, <\/p>\n
495
\n00:28:29,100 –> 00:28:35,400
\nthis wonderful message coming to
\nus from this little meditation, <\/p>\n
496
\n00:28:35,900 –> 00:28:37,700
\nlearning to submit our will to
\nGod. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:28:37,700 –> 00:28:40,800
\nWe’ve got to understand in our
\ndaily living that that he is the<\/p>\n
498
\n00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:43,800
\nPotter, where the clay in.
\nHow often we want to resist him.<\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:46,000
\nWe’re impatient.
\nWe’re not willing to let them <\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:46,100 –> 00:28:49,200
\nwork with us.
\nPatiently waiting for his will <\/p>\n
501
\n00:28:49,200 –> 00:28:52,700
\nto be done.
\nThere’s no places there for the <\/p>\n
502
\n00:28:52,700 –> 00:28:55,300
\nspirit of Dan in the sealed of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:59,600
\nGod, God cannot the one thing he
\nwill not and cannot do is cure <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:59,600 –> 00:29:03,200
\nself Vindication.
\nAnd so, let’s be aware of that. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:04,000 –> 00:29:06,500
\nThere is an abundant entry.
\nWe’re being taught in <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:06,500 –> 00:29:09,400
\nRevelation, chapter 7, and
\nabundant entry into the kingdom <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:11,600
\nfor all of us, and that’s an
\ninspiration. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:11,800 –> 00:29:16,200
\nAnd that’s an encouragement,
\nexcept if you refuse to submit <\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:16,200 –> 00:29:20,300
\nour will, if we make our
\njudgments God’s judgments, if we<\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:20,300 –> 00:29:23,600
\nchoose not to Wait for the
\nSalvation of God. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:24,800 –> 00:29:29,500
\nSo there is a meditation on some
\nnames and some people that we <\/p>\n
512
\n00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:33,500
\ncan go back and listen to The
\nEchoes from the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:33,600 –> 00:29:37,100
\nLet’s keep in this theme and I
\nwant to draw your attention to <\/p>\n
514
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:40,100
\nthis passage also very
\nwell-known passage from <\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:40,100 –> 00:29:43,300
\nRevelation, Chapter 2 and verse
\n17. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:29:43,900 –> 00:29:48,500
\nSo let’s read it together.
\nHe who has an ear, let him hear <\/p>\n
517
\n00:29:48,500 –> 00:29:51,900
\nwhat the spirit says, to the
\nchurches, to him who overcomes, <\/p>\n
518
\n00:29:51,900 –> 00:29:55,900
\nI will give some of the Hidden
\nManna to eat, and I will give <\/p>\n
519
\n00:29:55,900 –> 00:29:58,200
\nhim a white stone.
\nAnd on that stone, a new name <\/p>\n
520
\n00:29:58,200 –> 00:30:02,900
\nwritten which no one knows
\nexcept him who receives it. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:03,100 –> 00:30:08,000
\nSo, thinking again, about Echoes
\nof themes and names in the <\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:08,000 –> 00:30:10,700
\nprevious one, we were looking at
\nthe names of the children of <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:10,700 –> 00:30:13,200
\nIsrael.
\nHere, we have direct reference <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:13,200 –> 00:30:17,000
\nto this name that that’s going
\nto be given to Us this beautiful<\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:20,600
\nidea that we can imagine
\nourselves, I can picture it. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:20,600 –> 00:30:25,200
\nSo, so beautifully being there,
\nbeing accepted by Jesus waiting,<\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:29,600
\nas he comes to me, and he
\npresents me with a white stone. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:30:30,800 –> 00:30:35,700
\nAnd as I grab that white stone
\nand I turn it over, it says it <\/p>\n
529
\n00:30:35,700 –> 00:30:40,500
\nhas a new name for me and it’s
\npowerful because it says, you <\/p>\n
530
\n00:30:40,500 –> 00:30:43,200
\nknow, that new name that you’re
\ngoing to get no one else would <\/p>\n
531
\n00:30:43,200 –> 00:30:46,400
\nhave heard of it before.
\nIt’s an interesting thought you <\/p>\n
532
\n00:30:46,408 –> 00:30:49,300
\nknow we often think about the
\nfact that we have taken on the <\/p>\n
533
\n00:30:49,300 –> 00:30:53,200
\nname of God of course that’s
\nCentral to the gospel message, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:30:53,200 –> 00:30:55,700
\nisn’t it?
\nThis idea that Simeon has <\/p>\n
535
\n00:30:55,700 –> 00:30:58,300
\ndeclared Our God at the first at
\nvisit the Gentiles to take out <\/p>\n
536
\n00:30:58,300 –> 00:31:03,400
\nof them a people for his name.
\nYes, we are called at to Bear <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:07,100
\nthe name of Yahweh, the name of
\nGod, the name that was given to <\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:07,100 –> 00:31:08,500
\nJesus.
\nThat is above every name. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:09,000 –> 00:31:14,000
\nBut there’s a sense in this
\nmeditation that there is a new <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:14,000 –> 00:31:19,300
\nname, a name that is given to us
\npersonally, that no one else <\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:19,300 –> 00:31:21,700
\nknows except him who receives
\nit. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:22,500 –> 00:31:25,800
\nAnd this is where my focus went,
\nthis is where my thought process<\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:25,800 –> 00:31:28,300
\nwent.
\nAs in terms of not just the <\/p>\n
544
\n00:31:28,300 –> 00:31:30,400
\nEchoes that abound throughout
\nthe word of God. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:31:30,600 –> 00:31:33,900
\nOur names.
\nBut the the idea of giving and <\/p>\n
546
\n00:31:33,900 –> 00:31:38,100
\nreceiving names that that we
\nwill receive a new name. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:31:38,900 –> 00:31:41,500
\nThat seems to be very personal.
\nNow, if we think about names <\/p>\n
548
\n00:31:41,500 –> 00:31:44,400
\nvery quickly, let’s think about
\nnames a very quickly. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:31:44,900 –> 00:31:47,400
\nWe each have two names.
\nSome of you may have more <\/p>\n
550
\n00:31:47,400 –> 00:31:49,600
\nbecause your parents were
\nfeeling generous and have the <\/p>\n
551
\n00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:52,900
\nmoney to give you more names,
\nbut we at least hopefully each <\/p>\n
552
\n00:31:52,900 –> 00:31:56,200
\nhave two names that are used to
\nidentify us uniquely. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:31:56,800 –> 00:31:59,700
\nWe have our surnames, we call
\nthem our family names. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:31:59,700 –> 00:32:01,800
\nOur second name, Ames and
\nprimarily. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:01,800 –> 00:32:05,600
\nIf you think about your surname
\nit’s a name that yes it <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:05,600 –> 00:32:08,500
\nidentifies you but it more
\nidentifies you in terms of <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:08,500 –> 00:32:11,500
\nbelonging.
\nSo you can tell a lot about <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:11,500 –> 00:32:14,800
\nsomeone by knowing their sooner,
\nyou can often tell where they <\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:14,800 –> 00:32:17,700
\ncame from.
\nSo if your surname is slum in, <\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:18,200 –> 00:32:19,800
\nyou probably haven’t heard that
\nin the u.s.a. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:21,300
\nThat’s a very common surname
\nback. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:32:21,300 –> 00:32:23,500
\nYeah, you will work out.
\nThis chap doesn’t come from the <\/p>\n
563
\n00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:25,400
\nUSA.
\nProbably comes from somewhere <\/p>\n
564
\n00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:28,400
\nelse and I can tell you comes
\nfrom a province called <\/p>\n
565
\n00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:32,900
\nkwazulu-natal in South Africa.
\nIf the person’s name is Trump, <\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:33,500 –> 00:32:36,400
\nyou probably work out that he
\ncomes from. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:36,600 –> 00:32:38,800
\nWhere should I say Russia?
\nRussia must be Russia. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:32:38,800 –> 00:32:44,300
\nYes.
\nBut we can work out a lot from <\/p>\n
569
\n00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:49,200
\nthe surname of the individual
\nand who they belong to, and in <\/p>\n
570
\n00:32:49,200 –> 00:32:51,600
\nthe many ways, the name that
\nwe’ve been caught, you is our <\/p>\n
571
\n00:32:51,600 –> 00:32:54,000
\nfamily name.
\nWe’re going to belong to the <\/p>\n
572
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:57,300
\nfamily of God, but then we have
\na first name. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:32:58,100 –> 00:33:00,200
\nAnd, you know, our first names
\nare a lot about our <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:00,200 –> 00:33:03,500
\nindividuality on that.
\nWe associate people’s first <\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:03,500 –> 00:33:05,700
\nnames with the individual
\npersonality traits. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:05,700 –> 00:33:08,100
\nThat’s why often if we had a bad
\nexperience with a particular <\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:09,400
\nfirst name.
\nAnd then the wife says she would<\/p>\n
578
\n00:33:09,400 –> 00:33:11,400
\nlike to call someone by that
\nname, you’ll go on touch. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:33:12,300 –> 00:33:16,000
\nLove to call my child at all,
\nlike and of start working for <\/p>\n
580
\n00:33:16,000 –> 00:33:17,400
\nme.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:33:17,900 –> 00:33:22,800
\nSo so first names talk to
\nindividualization and and there <\/p>\n
582
\n00:33:22,800 –> 00:33:24,600
\nis an idea.
\nHere isn’t the in Revelation <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:24,600 –> 00:33:28,300
\nChapter 2 and this meditation
\nthat that although we are called<\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:28,300 –> 00:33:31,000
\nto be one, although we are
\ncalled to bear. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:31,000 –> 00:33:36,300
\nThat one name, we are diverse.
\nLet me god is the creator of <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:36,300 –> 00:33:39,600
\ndiversity.
\nIf that were not true, then why <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:39,600 –> 00:33:44,000
\nis it that every one of us has a
\nabsolutely unique fingerprint <\/p>\n
588
\n00:33:44,000 –> 00:33:47,300
\nand absolutely unique eye and
\nabsolutely unique DNA, <\/p>\n
589
\n00:33:47,500 –> 00:33:50,700
\neverything completely unique.
\nEvery snowflake that falls is <\/p>\n
590
\n00:33:50,700 –> 00:33:53,100
\ncompletely unique.
\nHe has a God that creates <\/p>\n
591
\n00:33:53,100 –> 00:33:55,500
\ndiversity and brings it into
\nUnity. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:33:55,500 –> 00:33:58,900
\nNot uniformity.
\nSo there’s a sense that that <\/p>\n
593
\n00:33:58,900 –> 00:34:03,500
\nthat as an individual, you have
\na name that fits into your <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:03,900 –> 00:34:06,000
\nbelonging name and I want to
\nexplore this idea. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:06,100 –> 00:34:08,900
\nThis idea of of first Names.
\nBecause I think this is what’s <\/p>\n
596
\n00:34:08,900 –> 00:34:11,600
\nbeen captured in Revelation
\nChapter 2. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:34:12,199 –> 00:34:15,900
\nLet’s think quickly about giving
\nand receiving of names. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:34:16,000 –> 00:34:18,000
\nHave you ever noticed this in
\nthe Book of Genesis? <\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:18,699 –> 00:34:20,100
\nOf course, you’ve noticed the
\npassage. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:20,100 –> 00:34:23,400
\nThis is our Genesis Gene that
\nthat in the midst of all the <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:27,199
\nintensity of everything that’s
\ngoing on in Genesis, and all the<\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:27,199 –> 00:34:30,500
\nthings that are being explained
\nto us, it makes so much sense. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:30,900 –> 00:34:34,699
\nWe have this curious event where
\nAdam is taken. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:34,900 –> 00:34:37,000
\nAnd God says, I’m going to bring
\nthe animals in front of you, and<\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:37,000 –> 00:34:39,699
\nyou can name them.
\nAnd he gets to name all of the <\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:39,699 –> 00:34:43,400
\nbeautiful animals of God.
\nWhy did God do that? <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:48,199
\nAnd why is it recorded for us?
\nIt’s the first time that name <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:48,199 –> 00:34:52,400
\nappears in the Bible, Adam
\ncalled them every living <\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:52,400 –> 00:34:55,300
\ncreature, the name that he would
\ngive them and such was his name.<\/p>\n
610
\n00:34:55,500 –> 00:34:58,200
\nThe first time it appears.
\nSo there’s there’s a DNA in <\/p>\n
611
\n00:34:58,200 –> 00:34:59,300
\nthis.
\nThere’s something for us to <\/p>\n
612
\n00:34:59,300 –> 00:35:02,300
\nunderstand, I want to put it to
\nyou this. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:02,900 –> 00:35:06,400
\nYou see that the characteristic
\nof God that we often don’t talk <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:06,400 –> 00:35:10,600
\nabout, but it is the very first
\nthing we learn about God, is <\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:15,200
\nthat he is creative.
\nThe first thing we re in the <\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:15,200 –> 00:35:20,500
\nbeginning God created, he’s a
\ncreative God, he’s Innovative. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:20,600 –> 00:35:23,800
\nHe’s about making things, and
\nthat’s what he did. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:23,800 –> 00:35:26,900
\nHe made the whole earth and this
\nbeautiful landscape that we’re <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:26,900 –> 00:35:31,300
\nenjoying this week.
\nAnd in a sense, what did he do? <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:31,800 –> 00:35:36,100
\nHe created this incredible
\nfabric of creation and he makes <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:36,100 –> 00:35:40,000
\none part of that creation
\nspecial with the ability to also<\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:43,900
\ncreate with the intellect and
\nthe power and the free will to <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:43,900 –> 00:35:47,500
\nalso be creative.
\nIt’s what’s unique about humans?<\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:47,500 –> 00:35:50,600
\nCompared to the rest of the
\ncreation and the way that he <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:50,600 –> 00:35:53,600
\ndemonstrates, that that’s what
\nhe wants is he says to Adam, you<\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:53,600 –> 00:35:55,600
\nknow what, I’ve done this
\ncreation, but I want you to <\/p>\n
627
\n00:35:55,600 –> 00:35:58,300
\nfinish it off.
\nYou guys, often the honor and <\/p>\n
628
\n00:35:58,300 –> 00:36:00,600
\nthe privilege.
\nEach if you’ve assigned tests <\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:00,600 –> 00:36:03,400
\nand you discover something new,
\nmakes the honor and the <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:03,400 –> 00:36:06,100
\nprivilege of the scientists to
\nbe able to name. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:06,500 –> 00:36:12,000
\nIt is the privilege of the the,
\nthe Creator to name that which <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:12,000 –> 00:36:15,600
\nis creating.
\nSo we get the privilege when we <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:19,400
\ngive birth to a baby as the mom
\nand dad have been heavily <\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:19,400 –> 00:36:21,900
\ninvolved in the creative part to
\nname the child. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:22,400 –> 00:36:25,200
\nWe wouldn’t feel very good if we
\nadd the job, in some person, the<\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:28,400
\ndoctor walks in and says, oh
\nthis looks like an author and <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:28,400 –> 00:36:31,800
\ngives the Night and so it is
\nwhen someone discovers a news <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:35,300
\nand you star or some new
\ndiscovery they name it. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:39,500
\nIt’s a part of the creative
\nprocess and I think this idea <\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:39,500 –> 00:36:44,800
\nthat that name giving is given
\nto Adam is really God saying <\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:47,500
\nI’ve called you to be a
\nco-creator with me. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:50,900
\nThe first commandment he ever
\ngot the first words he ever <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:50,900 –> 00:36:54,200
\nspoke to man, be fruitful and
\nmultiply we are called not just <\/p>\n
644
\n00:36:54,200 –> 00:36:58,400
\nsit back not to to hold on to
\nthe very little that we have. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:36:59,500 –> 00:37:02,000
\nGod says, I want you to grow, I
\nwant you to be abundant, but I <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:02,000 –> 00:37:07,100
\nwant you to grow in supporting
\nmy creative work, understanding <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:07,100 –> 00:37:09,600
\nthat you have to create together
\nwith me, the idea of <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:11,600
\nco-creation.
\nNow, this is a very important <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:11,600 –> 00:37:14,900
\nInsight, especially for me.
\nIt teaches us that in every part<\/p>\n
650
\n00:37:14,900 –> 00:37:20,800
\nof our life, we have a way to,
\nto live out our calling, whether<\/p>\n
651
\n00:37:20,800 –> 00:37:26,100
\nit be at work, whether it be in
\nthe in our relaxation, Tom, <\/p>\n
652
\n00:37:26,300 –> 00:37:29,200
\nwhether it be in the family, we
\nare being called to use. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:37:29,400 –> 00:37:32,600
\nCreativity to ultimately move
\nhis plan for it. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:37:33,300 –> 00:37:36,200
\nAnd that’s what he was calling
\nadamant to do now. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:37:36,600 –> 00:37:40,200
\nIf you think I’m making too much
\nof that when, when the first <\/p>\n
656
\n00:37:40,200 –> 00:37:44,200
\nhuman is named, who was given
\nthe right to name the first <\/p>\n
657
\n00:37:44,200 –> 00:37:47,200
\nhuman?
\nWell, the often the the <\/p>\n
658
\n00:37:47,200 –> 00:37:50,700
\nspontaneous answers.
\nWell that was God because the <\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:50,700 –> 00:37:55,300
\nfirst human named is Adam and if
\nI have my slides up there, I’d <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:55,300 –> 00:37:58,100
\nbe able to show you that
\nactually Adam never received the<\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:58,107 –> 00:38:01,700
\nname.
\nOkay, so Adam, who we know, as <\/p>\n
662
\n00:38:01,700 –> 00:38:06,200
\nAdam in fact, all that is is the
\nHebrew word that describes the <\/p>\n
663
\n00:38:06,200 –> 00:38:10,200
\ncreation of, man.
\nIn fact, when we first have the,<\/p>\n
664
\n00:38:10,500 –> 00:38:14,500
\nthe now use my little glasses.
\nWhen we first find Adam <\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:14,500 –> 00:38:18,100
\nmentioned, I think, his first
\nname is mentioned. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:18,100 –> 00:38:19,800
\nIf you have your Bibles, you’ll
\npick it up. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:20,300 –> 00:38:24,300
\nHis name is first, mentioned in
\nGenesis 2, verse 19, first time <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:24,300 –> 00:38:26,000
\nhe’s called Adam.
\nIf you’ve got the King James <\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:26,000 –> 00:38:30,600
\nversion Genesis 219, do you know
\nthat the Word has been used, non<\/p>\n
670
\n00:38:30,600 –> 00:38:34,100
\nThomas before that.
\nCharles States has just decided <\/p>\n
671
\n00:38:34,100 –> 00:38:35,500
\nat some point.
\nWe’ll just use the Hebrew. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:38:36,000 –> 00:38:38,100
\nSo in actual fact to be
\nconsistent you could just keep <\/p>\n
673
\n00:38:38,100 –> 00:38:42,300
\ncalling a man the man the man.
\nSo the word name and you can <\/p>\n
674
\n00:38:42,300 –> 00:38:44,600
\ncheck it is never used that God
\nnamed him, Adam. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:38:44,600 –> 00:38:48,400
\nI think that’s important because
\nthe first human ever night is in<\/p>\n
676
\n00:38:48,400 –> 00:38:50,800
\nfact, Eve.
\nAnd that’s recorded for us in <\/p>\n
677
\n00:38:50,800 –> 00:38:56,800
\nGenesis 3, verse 20, Adam called
\nhis wife’s name, Eve, you see? <\/p>\n
678
\n00:38:57,300 –> 00:39:01,900
\nThis is consistent.
\nGod has given name giving two <\/p>\n
679
\n00:39:01,900 –> 00:39:05,500
\nmen.
\nAnd it’s interesting that the <\/p>\n
680
\n00:39:05,500 –> 00:39:08,400
\nnames that are then given when
\nhe gives her the name EV says, <\/p>\n
681
\n00:39:08,700 –> 00:39:10,100
\nshe shall be the mother of all
\nliving. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:39:10,100 –> 00:39:14,600
\nIn other words, the name was to
\ncapture the way that person was <\/p>\n
683
\n00:39:14,600 –> 00:39:17,300
\ngoing to be a part of God’s
\ngreat creative process. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:17,500 –> 00:39:19,800
\nShe was going to be the
\nbeginning of creating living <\/p>\n
685
\n00:39:19,800 –> 00:39:22,500
\npeople.
\nAnd who do you think gave the <\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:22,500 –> 00:39:25,200
\nname to the first human ever
\nborn? <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:26,400 –> 00:39:28,800
\nOf course, it was Adam and Eve.
\nAnd the first human ever born <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:32,500
\nwas Cain, and they gave him his
\nname and his name actually was a<\/p>\n
689
\n00:39:32,508 –> 00:39:35,900
\npart of the idea.
\nIt actually means position. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:39:36,400 –> 00:39:39,600
\nIt means possession, it’s quite
\ninteresting when, when Eve <\/p>\n
691
\n00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:44,000
\nnames, akane and Genesis for
\nburst, once you said I have <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:44,000 –> 00:39:49,200
\ncreated a man, just as the Lord
\nShe’s starting to work out. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:49,200 –> 00:39:52,800
\nThat this idea of of creativity
\nis a part of our calling. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:53,300 –> 00:39:56,200
\nThe very fact that I can have
\nchildren even saying is <\/p>\n
695
\n00:39:56,200 –> 00:39:59,200
\ndemonstration that.
\nI’m a co-creator with God. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:40:00,300 –> 00:40:03,300
\nAnd she was able to name him as
\ndemonstration of that. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:40:03,300 –> 00:40:06,700
\nBut there’s something in the
\nwords of Eve that that catches <\/p>\n
698
\n00:40:06,700 –> 00:40:10,400
\nour attention, I have created a
\nman just as the Lord did. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:40:11,800 –> 00:40:13,400
\nBut here’s the edge brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:40:13,500 –> 00:40:15,600
\nIt seems so simple.
\nDoesn’t it? <\/p>\n
701
\n00:40:16,000 –> 00:40:19,600
\nThat that on the one hand we
\nhave to rely on God, but you <\/p>\n
702
\n00:40:19,600 –> 00:40:22,100
\nsaid God is calling us to be
\ncreative. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:40:22,100 –> 00:40:26,000
\nHe’s calling us to multiply.
\nHe’s calling us to be abundant. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:40:26,000 –> 00:40:28,400
\nHe’s calling us to be named
\ngivers. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:40:29,400 –> 00:40:33,500
\nBut in that process, there is
\nthe risk that we become named <\/p>\n
706
\n00:40:33,700 –> 00:40:38,700
\nbuilders in that process.
\nWe become not co-creators but <\/p>\n
707
\n00:40:38,700 –> 00:40:41,500
\nself creators.
\nAnd as we follow the theme of <\/p>\n
708
\n00:40:41,500 –> 00:40:44,100
\nnames, it doesn’t take long
\nbefore we get to the Tower of <\/p>\n
709
\n00:40:44,107 –> 00:40:48,700
\nBabel and what do they say?
\nLet us make a name for <\/p>\n
710
\n00:40:48,700 –> 00:40:52,000
\nourselves.
\nAnd so they go from being named <\/p>\n
711
\n00:40:52,000 –> 00:40:55,600
\ngivers demonstrated, the
\nco-creative role that we have <\/p>\n
712
\n00:40:55,600 –> 00:40:58,900
\nbeen caught you to name, givers,
\nand name, builders. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:41:00,100 –> 00:41:04,000
\nAnd then we come to to the next
\nmanifestation of Babylon that we<\/p>\n
714
\n00:41:04,000 –> 00:41:07,800
\nwere talking earlier and we come
\nto that incredible passage that <\/p>\n
715
\n00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:09,800
\nI think you will know.
\nWell, you don’t even need to see<\/p>\n
716
\n00:41:09,800 –> 00:41:14,100
\nit in the screen.
\nWhen Nebuchadnezzar stands on <\/p>\n
717
\n00:41:14,100 –> 00:41:16,500
\nthe same planes, where they
\nbuilt the Tower of Babel, where <\/p>\n
718
\n00:41:16,500 –> 00:41:18,000
\nthey had built a name for
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:41:18,200 –> 00:41:23,200
\nAnd, and captures, the very, the
\nvery Spirit of Babylon when he <\/p>\n
720
\n00:41:23,200 –> 00:41:27,800
\nsays, is not this great Babylon,
\nwhich I have built by the power <\/p>\n
721
\n00:41:27,800 –> 00:41:32,500
\nof my might and The honor of my
\nname. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:41:33,600 –> 00:41:36,000
\nYou see you see what has
\nhappened yet? <\/p>\n
723
\n00:41:36,500 –> 00:41:42,600
\nIs is Nebuchadnezzar has has
\nlost contact with the cause of <\/p>\n
724
\n00:41:42,600 –> 00:41:45,300
\ncreation.
\nYou see as co-creators we never <\/p>\n
725
\n00:41:45,300 –> 00:41:49,600
\nlose sight that he is the cause
\nwe purely have a fabric, he’s <\/p>\n
726
\n00:41:49,600 –> 00:41:51,800
\ngiven us incredible Fabric, and
\nall we doing is putting the <\/p>\n
727
\n00:41:51,800 –> 00:41:53,700
\nfinishing touches finishing
\ntouches. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:41:54,200 –> 00:41:58,400
\nBut when we lose sight of the
\ncause of our creativity, we will<\/p>\n
729
\n00:41:58,400 –> 00:42:01,200
\nlose sight of the purpose.
\nSo, Nebuchadnezzar looks at <\/p>\n
730
\n00:42:01,200 –> 00:42:02,800
\nGreat Babylon.
\nIs this is not this great <\/p>\n
731
\n00:42:02,800 –> 00:42:04,800
\nBabylon, 5, Pulled by the power
\nof my much. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:42:04,900 –> 00:42:09,500
\nAnd therefore, for my honor.
\nWhat a great lesson, you know, <\/p>\n
733
\n00:42:09,500 –> 00:42:13,400
\nDavid I think picks up on this
\nidea, David spends so much time,<\/p>\n
734
\n00:42:13,400 –> 00:42:17,900
\ndoesn’t he in the Psalms?
\nHe tells us to constantly? <\/p>\n
735
\n00:42:17,900 –> 00:42:22,500
\nBe reminded that all that we see
\nout there is a reminder that he <\/p>\n
736
\n00:42:22,500 –> 00:42:26,300
\nis the cause of all creativity.
\nEverything that you’ve ever <\/p>\n
737
\n00:42:26,300 –> 00:42:29,400
\nachieved is only because he gave
\nyou it to work with. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:42:29,400 –> 00:42:32,800
\nSo he looks upon the stars and
\nand looks at the heavens and <\/p>\n
739
\n00:42:32,800 –> 00:42:36,500
\nbeholds, the glory of God, the
\nhandiwork of God and because <\/p>\n
740
\n00:42:36,500 –> 00:42:41,900
\nDavid Always understood that God
\nwas the cause of creativity, he <\/p>\n
741
\n00:42:41,900 –> 00:42:43,800
\ntherefore understood that he was
\nthe purpose. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:42:43,800 –> 00:42:46,400
\nIn other words, it was always to
\nhis glory. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:42:47,100 –> 00:42:50,100
\nThat was why when David brought
\nthe Ark of the Covenant into <\/p>\n
744
\n00:42:50,100 –> 00:42:52,500
\nJerusalem?
\nThe first thing he did as it <\/p>\n
745
\n00:42:52,500 –> 00:42:55,900
\ncame, as a manifestation of the
\nglory of God, is he took off his<\/p>\n
746
\n00:42:55,900 –> 00:42:59,900
\ncrown, he took up his Royal robe
\nso that he could say, here is <\/p>\n
747
\n00:42:59,900 –> 00:43:03,900
\nthe purpose of creativity?
\nHere is where the glory belongs.<\/p>\n
748
\n00:43:04,300 –> 00:43:06,600
\nOf course, his wife marker
\nlooked at that and she couldn’t <\/p>\n
749
\n00:43:06,600 –> 00:43:09,500
\nsee what He was doing, you have
\nmade yourself as one of the <\/p>\n
750
\n00:43:09,800 –> 00:43:14,300
\nvulgar ones because you have
\nhumbled yourself in the sight of<\/p>\n
751
\n00:43:14,300 –> 00:43:20,000
\nthe commonest.
\nSo when we look to ourselves and<\/p>\n
752
\n00:43:20,000 –> 00:43:24,300
\nwe understand that we are called
\nto be named givers to be <\/p>\n
753
\n00:43:24,300 –> 00:43:30,600
\nco-creators and yet in doing
\nthat as we gain success, as we <\/p>\n
754
\n00:43:30,600 –> 00:43:34,300
\nget the satisfaction that God,
\nalways intended you to have in <\/p>\n
755
\n00:43:34,300 –> 00:43:38,500
\ncreativity.
\nAs we start to get perhaps some <\/p>\n
756
\n00:43:38,500 –> 00:43:41,600
\naccolades behind our name.
\nPerhaps is at the end of your <\/p>\n
757
\n00:43:41,600 –> 00:43:45,700
\nname, PhD, be calm, or whatever
\nit is or perhaps it’s at the <\/p>\n
758
\n00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:47,500
\nfront of your name.
\nDoctor Sir? <\/p>\n
759
\n00:43:47,600 –> 00:43:51,100
\nAnd we begin to build the
\nTemptation, is we become brand <\/p>\n
760
\n00:43:51,100 –> 00:43:55,100
\nbuilders that the Legacy moves
\nfrom being a legacy for God? <\/p>\n
761
\n00:43:55,100 –> 00:43:58,600
\nBut a legacy for ourselves and
\nwe’re on Facebook, and we’re on <\/p>\n
762
\n00:43:58,600 –> 00:44:01,800
\nLinkedIn, and we can Google
\nourselves and our name gets <\/p>\n
763
\n00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:07,000
\nbigger and bigger until such
\ntime, as we have the spirit of <\/p>\n
764
\n00:44:07,000 –> 00:44:10,600
\nBabylon in each and every one of
\nus. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:44:11,600 –> 00:44:15,000
\nSo I think the lesson is very
\nclear brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:44:15,600 –> 00:44:20,700
\nIt is for us to understand that
\nhe gave us the opportunity. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:44:21,100 –> 00:44:25,500
\nHe gave us the blessing of being
\nco-creators so that we could <\/p>\n
768
\n00:44:25,500 –> 00:44:28,900
\nfinish his creation.
\nBut you know what, ultimately, <\/p>\n
769
\n00:44:29,600 –> 00:44:33,600
\nhe wants to give you that first
\nname that your mom and dad gave <\/p>\n
770
\n00:44:33,600 –> 00:44:36,000
\nyou, he wants to change it.
\nHe wants to complete his <\/p>\n
771
\n00:44:36,000 –> 00:44:39,600
\nCreation in you and we know
\nthat’s true from revelation. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:41,900
\n2:7.
\nWe read in 11. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:44:41,900 –> 00:44:45,000
\nThis this beautiful passage when
\nJohn Was preparing the message <\/p>\n
774
\n00:44:45,000 –> 00:44:49,800
\nof the Gospel he says, but as
\nmany as received him to them, he<\/p>\n
775
\n00:44:49,800 –> 00:44:52,400
\ngave the right to become the
\nchildren of God. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:44:52,500 –> 00:44:55,400
\nIn those, who believe in his
\nname, who were born? <\/p>\n
777
\n00:44:55,400 –> 00:44:58,700
\nNot of blood, nor of the will of
\nthe flesh, nor of the will of, <\/p>\n
778
\n00:44:58,700 –> 00:45:02,400
\nman.
\nBut of God, you see, it’s not <\/p>\n
779
\n00:45:02,400 –> 00:45:05,800
\nabout whether we choose.
\nIt’s about whether we receive <\/p>\n
780
\n00:45:07,200 –> 00:45:10,000
\nHe’s chosen to give you a new
\nname, he’s waiting to give it to<\/p>\n
781
\n00:45:10,000 –> 00:45:11,800
\nyou.
\nYou will receive run from your <\/p>\n
782
\n00:45:11,800 –> 00:45:14,600
\nparents.
\nIt wasn’t by your will not by <\/p>\n
783
\n00:45:14,600 –> 00:45:16,800
\nthe will of man or by flesh.
\nYou just got it. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:45:17,100 –> 00:45:18,300
\nYou can’t even complain about
\nit. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:45:18,300 –> 00:45:20,300
\nI know some people like to
\nchange their names, but that’s <\/p>\n
786
\n00:45:20,300 –> 00:45:23,200
\nit.
\nHe says, but I am willing to <\/p>\n
787
\n00:45:23,200 –> 00:45:26,800
\ngive you a new name.
\nI’m willing to give it to you, <\/p>\n
788
\n00:45:26,800 –> 00:45:29,500
\nbut you need to want to receive
\nit. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:45:30,000 –> 00:45:32,100
\nYou need to be ready to give up
\nall that. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:45:32,100 –> 00:45:34,300
\nYou’ve achieved behind your
\nfirst name here. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:45:35,100 –> 00:45:39,000
\nAnd you know what I believe.
\nI believe that when we were in <\/p>\n
792
\n00:45:39,000 –> 00:45:43,000
\nthe Kingdom with him, and he
\ngives us that watch stone, that,<\/p>\n
793
\n00:45:43,000 –> 00:45:47,800
\nthat new name, that’s recorded.
\nThey will summarize everything <\/p>\n
794
\n00:45:47,800 –> 00:45:51,100
\nthat we did all of our talents,
\nall of our skills that <\/p>\n
795
\n00:45:51,100 –> 00:45:54,100
\nco-created with him, that helped
\nus each person. <\/p>\n
796
\n00:45:54,100 –> 00:45:56,700
\nNeed to do something to forward
\nhis master plan. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:45:57,400 –> 00:46:00,700
\nAnd that is why when you turn
\nthat stone over and you read <\/p>\n
798
\n00:46:00,700 –> 00:46:03,300
\nthat name though, nobody else
\nwill know it because they never <\/p>\n
799
\n00:46:03,300 –> 00:46:05,700
\ncalled you by that name.
\nThey called you Harold, they <\/p>\n
800
\n00:46:05,700 –> 00:46:09,900
\ncalled you Cameron.
\nThere is a name that God will <\/p>\n
801
\n00:46:09,900 –> 00:46:14,900
\ngive that summarizes everything
\nyou ever did to co-create with <\/p>\n
802
\n00:46:14,900 –> 00:46:17,000
\nhim.
\nAnd to me, that is so <\/p>\n
803
\n00:46:17,000 –> 00:46:20,300
\ninspirational because today
\nwe’re working on that new name <\/p>\n
804
\n00:46:21,100 –> 00:46:24,500
\nand we need to hold on to it and
\nmake sure we don’t. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:46:24,500 –> 00:46:28,000
\nHold on to the name that we were
\ngiven by our parents. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:46:28,300 –> 00:46:31,300
\nSo may God bless you as you
\ncontinue to meditate on the Book<\/p>\n
