1
\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:53,300
\nFor this week we’re listening to
\na talk that was given back at <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,300 –> 00:00:56,300
\nthe end of 2020 to buy Brother
\nDavid Jenkins from The Carter <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,300 –> 00:00:59,100
\nMuseum.
\nPlace Ecclesia in the UK. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:02,800
\nThis was given at the rugby
\nachalasia in the same country <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,300 –> 00:01:06,700
\nwhere he is taking a look in it
\nas a public lecture style, talk <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:06,900 –> 00:01:10,200
\nlooking at inspiration and what
\nit means and what is the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:14,900
\nsignificance of our belief, that
\nthe Bible isn’t the inspired <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:14,900 –> 00:01:19,500
\nword of God and Brother, David
\nis looking into the different <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:19,500 –> 00:01:25,300
\nmeanings in the impact of Add
\nand sort of diving more into how<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:25,300 –> 00:01:29,700
\nthe inspiration of God’s word
\nwould have come to be the <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:29,700 –> 00:01:33,100
\nstarting reading that he used
\nfor this was taken from 2nd, <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:33,100 –> 00:01:36,000
\nTimothy chapter 3, verses 14
\nthrough 17. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:38,200
\nSo if you want to read through
\nthat before you listen to the <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:38,200 –> 00:01:42,000
\ntalk, that is the section of
\nverses that he asked before he <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:45,700
\ngave it.
\nAnd I really just enjoy brother.<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:45,700 –> 00:01:48,500
\nDavid’s, look into this.
\nThis was a suggestion that we <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:48,500 –> 00:01:50,700
\nwere given and I found it to be
\na really powerful. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:54,900
\nFull public lecture that he gave
\njust underlying both the <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:57,500
\nimportance and the confidence
\nthat we have in the scriptures <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:57,500 –> 00:02:01,600
\nthat we read and how important
\nthose are for us to be able to <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:01,600 –> 00:02:06,300
\nunderstand that the words that
\nwe read aren’t just something <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:06,300 –> 00:02:09,199
\nthat somebody made up and he
\nalso spent some time looking at <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:13,200
\nalmost how the active
\ninspiration would have been <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:16,400
\nperceived by the very people
\nwriting it. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:16,400 –> 00:02:18,500
\nSo I thought that was kind of an
\ninteresting Little Nugget later <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:18,500 –> 00:02:23,000
\non in the in the class.
\nSo I hope you find this as <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:23,100 –> 00:02:26,400
\ninspirational as I did, sorry
\nfor the pun with that. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:29,700
\nI will turn it over to Brother
\nDavid Jenkins for his talk <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:29,700 –> 00:02:31,700
\ninspiration.
\nWhat does it mean? <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:39,500
\nSo we just read a short section
\nfrom Paul’s last letter on the <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:39,500 –> 00:02:43,500
\nlast of his letters that we have
\namongst the letters that are in <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:43,500 –> 00:02:47,900
\nthe pages of the New Testament,
\nwhere he’s writing to Timothy a <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:47,900 –> 00:02:50,800
\nyounger man.
\nBut one of his close companions <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:55,400
\nin the work of teaching, the
\ngospel around the Roman Empire <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:56,400 –> 00:03:00,900
\nand his giving advice here to
\nthis younger man as to how to <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:05,000
\nconduct himself.
\nAnd when the Apostle Paul is no <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:09,200
\nlonger around and as you’ll no
\ndoubt of clean from the few <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:09,200 –> 00:03:13,800
\nverses that we wretch that he’s
\nputting a great emphasis on <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:19,700
\nTimothy, paying attention to
\nGod’s words, he tells us that <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:24,100
\nGod’s word is able to make us
\nwise for salvation. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:29,200
\nHe tells us in verse 16 that the
\nword of God is profitable for <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:29,200 –> 00:03:32,100
\nDoctrine for teaching for
\nreproof. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:32,300 –> 00:03:37,000
\nRoof for correction for
\ninstruction, in righteousness, <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:37,700 –> 00:03:41,400
\nthat men and women of God’s
\nmight be thoroughly equipped <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:46,900
\nwith everything that they need
\nto live as God would have them <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:46,900 –> 00:03:50,400
\nlive.
\nSo there’s this emphasis upon <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:50,400 –> 00:03:52,400
\nthe word of God and it is
\nuseful. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:52,400 –> 00:03:57,900
\nIt is profitable for these
\nvarious different purposes and <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:57,900 –> 00:04:03,100
\nPaul says that the reason why
\nthe word of God is, Useful for <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:03,100 –> 00:04:07,100
\nthese different functions is
\nbecause it is given by <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:07,100 –> 00:04:10,900
\ninspiration of God.
\nIt’s directly because it is <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:10,900 –> 00:04:16,500
\ngiven by inspiration of God
\nverse 16 that it has these <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:16,500 –> 00:04:23,700
\nvarious qualities it can perform
\nthose various functions and when<\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:29,400
\nPaul writes about all scripture
\nthen of course includes the part<\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:32,000
\nof the Bible that we know as the
\nOld Testament. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:35,200
\nThe Jewish scriptures.
\nBut by the time that Paul is <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:35,200 –> 00:04:38,700
\nwriting this last of his letters
\nwithin the compass of the New <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:38,700 –> 00:04:43,900
\nTestament then the vast majority
\nof the material that makes up <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:43,900 –> 00:04:48,000
\nour new testament parts of our
\nBible are available and <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:51,200
\ncirculated around the
\ncongregations of Believers as <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:51,200 –> 00:04:54,200
\nwell.
\nSo that as far as Paul is <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:57,900
\nconcerned, the entirety of the
\nBible, both Old and New <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:57,900 –> 00:05:01,200
\nTestaments.
\nIt is useful for these purposes <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:06,700
\nbecause God has provided it by
\ninspiration. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:10,600
\nNow, the subject inspiration,
\nwhat does it mean? <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:11,000 –> 00:05:14,800
\nI’m not going to deal with it in
\nany kind of technical way this <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:17,700
\nafternoon.
\nSo I’m just going to spend two <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:17,700 –> 00:05:22,400
\nminutes on this word inspiration
\nand that’s about as technical As<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:22,400 –> 00:05:28,000
\nIt Gets.
\nSo when we speak to one another,<\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:28,800 –> 00:05:34,900
\nthen we are breathing in order
\nto live and we’re taking air in <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:34,900 –> 00:05:39,600
\nand out of our lungs.
\nAnd we pass are over our vocal <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:43,400
\ncords.
\nAnd in that process, we are able<\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:47,500
\nto produce sounds whereby.
\nWe communicate with one another <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:53,300
\nthat we breathe out that we pass
\nthe air over our vocal cords and<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:53,300 –> 00:05:58,400
\nwe use That to speak.
\nNow the word inspiration and <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:58,400 –> 00:06:02,300
\nthese new testament chapters was
\nfirst written in the Greek <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:02,300 –> 00:06:07,200
\nlanguage, the original word,
\ntranslated inspiration means god<\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:11,400
\nbreathed.
\nSo whereas we breathe in order <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:15,200
\nto speak and use our breath to
\nspeak, they’re really what <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:18,800
\ninspiration means.
\nIt’s that God has spoken that <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:18,800 –> 00:06:24,200
\nGod has breathed and smokin and
\ncommunicate it so that because <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:24,300 –> 00:06:29,500
\nDoes God has spoken then the
\nvarious parts of the Bible are <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:29,500 –> 00:06:33,400
\nuseful for the different
\nfunctions that the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:33,400 –> 00:06:38,200
\ndescribes.
\nBut how I’d like to address this<\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:38,200 –> 00:06:43,100
\ntopic, this afternoon is to look
\nat the experience of some of <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:43,100 –> 00:06:46,700
\nthose individuals who are
\nsubject to inspiration. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:47,300 –> 00:06:54,500
\nSo those individuals that God
\nused to produce his words and <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:54,500 –> 00:06:58,900
\nsee what they say about their
\nexperience and how that can help<\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:58,900 –> 00:07:03,700
\nus to understand what
\ninspiration really means. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:05,000 –> 00:07:08,400
\nNow, I’d like to begin with
\nMoses. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:11,200
\nSo I’m going to go back to the
\nsecond book of the Bible, the <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:17,700
\nbook of Exodus and Exodus
\nchapter 4, we can go to Moses <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:22,300
\nbecause Moses is the man that
\nGod used to writes. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:22,300 –> 00:07:27,700
\nThe first five books of the
\nBible as we have them in our <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:27,700 –> 00:07:32,700
\nBibles Moses was the individual
\nthat God used to lead the <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:32,700 –> 00:07:35,800
\nchildren of Israel.
\nFrom their slavery in the land <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:35,800 –> 00:07:39,300
\nof Egypt and through the
\nWilderness to the borders of the<\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:39,300 –> 00:07:43,300
\nland that he had promised to
\ntheir fathers, the land that we <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:43,300 –> 00:07:50,500
\nknow as the land of Israel and
\nin Exodus chapter 4 or Moses is <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:50,500 –> 00:07:55,600
\n80 years of age and he has been
\nliving in the land of Midian for<\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:58,800
\n40 years.
\nHaving run away from the land of<\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:03,800
\nEgypt, aged 40 and guard is
\ninteracting with Moses. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:08,200
\nThrough his Angel and telling
\nMoses that the time has come for<\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:08,200 –> 00:08:11,100
\nMoses to return to the land of
\nEgypt and to take up the <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:15,300
\ncommission that God has set
\nbefore him of leading the nation<\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:21,200
\nof Israel from their slavery and
\nMoses is not too keen on taking <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:21,200 –> 00:08:24,700
\nup the task.
\nIn fact here in Exodus chapter 4<\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:24,700 –> 00:08:29,500
\nhe’s making a sequence of
\nexcuses as to why he is not <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:29,500 –> 00:08:33,900
\nreally suitable for the role
\nthat God has. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:38,299
\nAsked him to do.
\nSo I’d like to pick up verse 10 <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:38,299 –> 00:08:44,700
\nhere of Exodus chapter 4.
\nMoses said unto the Lord, oh my <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:44,700 –> 00:08:47,100
\nLord.
\nI am not eloquent. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:47,500 –> 00:08:50,500
\nNeither heretofore nor since
\nthou Hast spoken unto thy <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:50,500 –> 00:08:55,500
\ncertainty but I am slow of
\nspeech and of a slow tongue. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:56,200 –> 00:09:00,500
\nSo here’s one of Moses is
\nreasons why he can’t be a <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:00,500 –> 00:09:02,900
\nsuitable leader for the people
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:03,200 –> 00:09:07,000
\nHe says, that he’s not eloquent,
\nhe’s not good at speaking. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:11,300
\nHe’s not a charismatic leader,
\nwhether that’s true or not. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:14,100
\nIs questionable that we could
\ndebate that from other Bible <\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:18,500
\nverses but that’s the reason
\nthat Moses gives he can’t speak <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:24,200
\nwell so he can’t be the leader.
\nNow look at God’s answer to that<\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:30,700
\nobjection in verse 11.
\nThe Lord said unto him who hath <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:30,700 –> 00:09:35,000
\nmade man’s mouth or who maketh
\nthe dumb or deaf or the seeing <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:40,900
\nor the blind have not.
\nI the Lord now therefore go and <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:40,900 –> 00:09:44,600
\nI I will be with thy mouth and
\nteach thee. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:52,000
\nWhat Thou shalt say.
\nSo God’s response to Moses is <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:59,000
\nthat he is the creator that he
\nwas responsible for creating the<\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:02,400
\nmouth of men and women and
\ntherefore in effect. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:04,700
\nHe says to Moses look I created
\nyour mouth. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:10,100
\nSo don’t tell me you can’t speak
\nbut he goes beyond that doesn’t <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:10,100 –> 00:10:15,000
\nsee because there in verse He
\nsays go and I will be with your <\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:19,600
\nmouth and teach you what you
\nshall say. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:20,400 –> 00:10:25,000
\nSo that God who made man’s
\nmouth, could teach you what to <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:27,700
\nsay.
\nThat’s exactly what he says he <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:27,700 –> 00:10:30,300
\nwill do.
\nIn the case of Moses that <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:30,300 –> 00:10:35,100
\nactually Moses his role as
\nleader won’t be dependent on, <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:35,100 –> 00:10:41,100
\nMoses ability to speak, it would
\nbe dependent upon God’s ability.<\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:41,400 –> 00:10:45,200
\nTo place words in the mouth of
\nMoses. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:46,000 –> 00:10:48,200
\nSo that’s that’s really the
\nstarting point for our <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:52,200
\nconsideration of inspiration.
\nWhat does it mean? <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:52,200 –> 00:10:58,300
\nWell God who made the mouse, can
\nteach it what to say, didn’t <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:58,300 –> 00:11:03,900
\ndepend on the man’s eloquence it
\ndepended on the words that God <\/p>\n

151
\n00:11:04,400 –> 00:11:09,200
\nprovided.
\nNow God used Moses to <\/p>\n

152
\n00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:11,300
\ncommunicate, a great deal of
\ninformation. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:11,500 –> 00:11:14,700
\nShould serve the nation of
\nIsrael gave them the laws that <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:14,700 –> 00:11:16,500
\nthey would live their National
\nLife. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:16,500 –> 00:11:20,800
\nBy it gave them the details of
\nhow they should worship God in <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:24,500
\nan appropriate way details.
\nWhich taught them many things <\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:24,500 –> 00:11:29,400
\nabout the principles by which he
\nwould extend salvation to men <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:29,400 –> 00:11:35,700
\nand women and God went into,
\namazing detail as to how Israel <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:35,700 –> 00:11:40,500
\nshould do things in their
\nworship of him that the center <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:44,400
\nof The worship of the nation of
\nIsrael from the time of Moses <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:44,800 –> 00:11:49,400
\nwas the tabernacle a tent which
\nIsrael first constructed in the <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:49,400 –> 00:11:51,600
\nwilderness.
\nAnd that was filled with various<\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:51,600 –> 00:11:56,000
\nitems of furniture that God had
\ndescribed and that would be used<\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:56,000 –> 00:11:59,800
\nin his worship.
\nAnd God talks about setting up <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:59,800 –> 00:12:03,200
\nthe tent talks about packing up
\nthe furniture talks about the <\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:03,208 –> 00:12:06,600
\ndifferent individuals, even who
\nwould carry that furniture as <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:09,200
\nthe nation of Israel.
\nMoved from place to place in <\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:13,800
\ntheir journey in the wilderness.
\nThere’s a remarkable level of <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:13,800 –> 00:12:19,800
\ndetail in what God provides.
\nI’d like you to bear that in <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:26,700
\nmind and come on in the pages of
\nthe Bible to 500 years or so <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:26,700 –> 00:12:29,100
\nlater, to the time of King
\nDavid’s. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:30,100 –> 00:12:33,600
\nNow those of you who were here
\nthis morning will, I hope <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:33,600 –> 00:12:35,900
\nremember that?
\nWe looked at the book of <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:35,900 –> 00:12:40,200
\nChronicles, I’d like to go to
\nthe the same section of the book<\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:40,200 –> 00:12:43,900
\nof Chronicles, but Inning at
\nFirst Chronicles chapter 13. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:44,600 –> 00:12:49,300
\nWhen David has become king of
\nall the Twelve Tribes of Israel <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:49,900 –> 00:12:53,700
\nhas captured the city of
\nJerusalem and decided that it <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:53,700 –> 00:12:57,200
\nwill become the capital of his
\nkingdom. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:57,900 –> 00:13:01,000
\nAnd he wants to take the Ark of
\nthe Covenant. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:04,600
\nThe most important of the pieces
\nof furniture that have been made<\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:04,600 –> 00:13:08,800
\nin the time of Moses and bring
\nit up to the city of Jerusalem, <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:12,700
\nthe Ark of the Covenant
\nrepresents The, The Throne of <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:12,700 –> 00:13:16,700
\nGod in the midst of his people.
\nAnd God, what and David wanted <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:16,700 –> 00:13:21,100
\nthat to be in the capital city.
\nSo that the whole of the life of<\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:21,100 –> 00:13:25,600
\nIsrael could be focused upon
\ntheir relationship with the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,500
\nliving gods.
\nAnd in first Chronicles chapter <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:34,100
\n13 and then David is going to
\nattempt to achieve his aim and <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:34,100 –> 00:13:38,800
\nto move the Ark of God from the
\nplace that had been for many <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:38,800 –> 00:13:42,500
\nyears up to the city.
\nOf Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:43,100 –> 00:13:46,200
\nI’ll pick it up in verse 5 of
\nthis chapter. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:46,900 –> 00:13:50,300
\nSo David gathered all Israel
\ntogether from shy horror of <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:50,300 –> 00:13:54,000
\nEgypt, even unto the entering
\nand of he math to bring the Ark <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:59,300
\nof God from kerchief.
\nJairam verse 7, They Carried the<\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:59,300 –> 00:14:03,400
\nArk of God in a new cart out of
\nthe house of abinadab and other <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:03,400 –> 00:14:08,400
\nand Ohio drive the car at verse
\n9 when they came to the <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:08,400 –> 00:14:11,200
\nthreshing floor of Charlie
\ndidn’t as I put forth. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:16,900
\nHis hands, a hold, the ark for
\nThe Oxen stumbled, and the anger<\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:16,900 –> 00:14:20,800
\nof the Lord was kindled against
\nus and he smote him, because he <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:20,800 –> 00:14:24,400
\nput his hands to the ark and
\nthere he died. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:28,900
\nYou’d before God’s verse 12
\ntells us. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:28,900 –> 00:14:31,100
\nDavid was afraid of God that
\nday. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:31,100 –> 00:14:36,200
\nSaying, how shall I bring the
\nArk of God’s home to me. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:36,900 –> 00:14:40,200
\nSo, David has great intentions.
\nHe wants to bring this <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:44,800
\nsignificant piece of Furniture
\nup to the capital city and other<\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:48,900
\none of the men who is
\ntransporting this piece of <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:48,900 –> 00:14:51,800
\nfurniture on a card.
\nAlso has great intentions <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:51,800 –> 00:14:55,300
\nbecause the oxen of stumbled the
\nCartesian shaking. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:55,800 –> 00:14:59,800
\nThere is a danger perhaps that
\nthis very important item might <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,800
\nfall from the carton be damaged
\nand so he stretches out his hand<\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:08,000
\nin order to study it with the
\nbest of intentions, and the Lord<\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:12,600
\nis displeased with his actions.
\nSo displeased that he strikes <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:18,000
\nhim and that he dies.
\nAnd David as we read was afraid <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:22,000
\nasking the question, when how
\nshall I bring the Ark of God <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:24,300
\nhome to me, to the city of
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:26,100 –> 00:15:29,500
\nEvery turn over a couple of
\npages to chapter 15, we find out<\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:29,500 –> 00:15:35,600
\nthat some months later.
\nDavid was successful in bringing<\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:35,600 –> 00:15:42,200
\nthe Ark of God up to Jerusalem.
\nStart at the beginning of the <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:46,600
\nchapter, David made him houses
\nin the city of David and <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:50,800
\nprepared a place for the Ark of
\nGod and pitched for it, a tent. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:51,700 –> 00:15:56,000
\nThen David said, none ought to
\ncarry the Ark of God but the <\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:56,000 –> 00:16:00,000
\nLevites for them.
\nHave the Lord chosen to carry <\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:00,000 –> 00:16:03,600
\nthe Ark of God and to minister
\nunto him forever. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:04,300 –> 00:16:08,200
\nAnd David gathered, all Israel
\ntogether to Jerusalem to bring <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:10,700
\nup the Ark of the Lord unto his
\nplace. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:14,800
\nWhich he had prepared for it.
\nAnd if we read on, then, with <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:14,800 –> 00:16:18,900
\ngreat joy and rejoicing, then
\nDavid and the people are able to<\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:18,900 –> 00:16:23,100
\nachieve their objective and a
\nbring the Ark of God to set it <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:23,100 –> 00:16:27,300
\nup in the city of Jerusalem.
\nBut you see what’s happened <\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:27,300 –> 00:16:29,600
\nbetween chapter 13 and chapter
\n15. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:32,900
\nIs that David has got his Bible
\nout? <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:33,300 –> 00:16:37,200
\nWell a series of Scrolls as the
\nBible would have been in the <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:37,200 –> 00:16:40,600
\ntime of David and he’s got the
\nScrolls. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:46,100
\nFirst written by Moses and he’s
\na read through those Scrolls and<\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:49,500
\nhe’s come to the book of numbers
\nand the scroll for the book of <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:49,500 –> 00:16:53,400
\nnumbers and he’s read what we
\ncall Numbers Chapter 4 or, and <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:53,400 –> 00:16:58,900
\nhe can say none, but the Levites
\nought to carry the Ark of God’s.<\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:02,800
\nHe’s read those very detailed
\ninstructions that God gave to <\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:02,800 –> 00:17:07,500
\nIsrael through Moses.
\nAnd now he knows the right way <\/p>\n

239
\n00:17:07,500 –> 00:17:10,700
\nthat God has authorized for the
\nArk of God. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:10,800 –> 00:17:16,099
\nTo be moved from place to place,
\nand when he conforms to what God<\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:16,099 –> 00:17:19,800
\nhad written, then he meets with
\nsuccess. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:21,200 –> 00:17:26,099
\nNow here’s here’s the points for
\nour topic this afternoon, but <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:26,099 –> 00:17:31,200
\nthat 500 years or so have passed
\nbetween the time of Moses. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:31,200 –> 00:17:34,900
\nAnd the time of David’s between
\nthe time when those instructions<\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:34,900 –> 00:17:37,900
\nwere given and then the time
\nthat David is trying to move the<\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:37,900 –> 00:17:43,500
\nark but the passage of time,
\ndoesn’t matter 1 B, the word of <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:48,800
\nGod has not changed and the word
\nthat was authoritative in the <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:54,700
\ntime of Moses is Equally
\nauthoritative in the time of <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:54,700 –> 00:17:57,300
\nDavid’s.
\nIt’s God’s words. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:57,900 –> 00:18:02,300
\nIt’s authoritative.
\nIt does not change. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:18:03,700 –> 00:18:10,800
\nNow then David himself was used
\nby God to write sections of the <\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:16,700
\nBible, the Psalms particularly
\nare associated with the pain of <\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:16,700 –> 00:18:21,200
\nDavid and the ability of David
\nwith music to worship and to <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:23,800
\npraise God.
\nBut there are other parts of the<\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:29,200
\nBible that also contain words
\nthat God used David to write. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:32,400
\nAnd I’d like to take you now, if
\nyou’re following in your Bibles <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:37,600
\nto the and book of Samuel and
\nchapter 23, because there we <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:37,600 –> 00:18:41,300
\nhave a section which is
\ndescribed for us as the last <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:41,300 –> 00:18:50,800
\nwords of King David’s that in
\nthis section, we get perhaps the<\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:50,800 –> 00:18:57,200
\nfullest description of
\ninspiration that we get anywhere<\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:01,300
\nin the Bible.
\nWe get a description of <\/p>\n

262
\n00:19:01,300 –> 00:19:06,200
\ninspiration.
\nWe don’t get an explanation that<\/p>\n

263
\n00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:11,400
\nthe Bible doesn’t explain how
\ninspiration works. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:19:11,700 –> 00:19:16,600
\nIt doesn’t explain how it is.
\nThat God can use a Man, Too. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:21,300
\nSpeak certain words or to write
\ncertain words and for them yet <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:21,300 –> 00:19:25,600
\nto be exactly the words that God
\nwished to expressed. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:25,600 –> 00:19:29,500
\nIt doesn’t explain that process
\nbut David does get as close as <\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:29,500 –> 00:19:34,000
\nwe get to a description of what
\ninspiration means. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:41,800
\nSecond Samuel chapter 23.
\nNow these be the last words of <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:47,000
\nDavid’s David, the son of Jesse
\nsaid, and the man who was raised<\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:50,900
\nup on high, the anointed of the
\ngod of Jacob and the sweet <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:50,900 –> 00:19:55,600
\npsalmist of Israel, seds, they
\nmight say, David has been a bit <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:59,200
\nrepetitive there.
\nDon’t you think, did you miss <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:01,300
\nthe point that David wrote these
\nwords. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:02,200 –> 00:20:06,500
\nThese are the last words of
\nDavid David, the son of Jesse <\/p>\n

276
\n00:20:06,500 –> 00:20:09,300
\nsaid the anointed of the god of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:20:09,400 –> 00:20:12,000
\nAnd the sweet psalmist of Israel
\nset. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:20:12,300 –> 00:20:15,300
\nWell, three times.
\nDavid has said, these are my <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:15,300 –> 00:20:18,800
\nwords.
\nBut look how he continues in <\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:18,800 –> 00:20:22,900
\nverse 2, the spirit of the Lord
\nspake by me. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:29,000
\nAnd his word was in my tongue.
\nThe god of Israel said, the rock<\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:33,000
\nof Israel speak to me and then
\nhe goes on with the message. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:36,900
\nHe, that ruleth over men must be
\njust ruling in the fear of God. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:41,400
\nSo is he in verse 1?
\nDavid says, three times these <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:45,400
\nare David’s words.
\nThese are my words, But then in <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:45,700 –> 00:20:48,500
\nverse 2 in the beginning of
\nverse 3, then 3 or 4 times. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:50,800
\nHe says well actually these are
\nGod’s words. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:58,000
\nAnd that’s inspiration that the
\nwords that were expressed by a <\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:58,000 –> 00:21:04,400
\nman could at one and the same
\ntime be the words of God’s. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:12,400
\nExactly the words that God
\nintended should be expressed. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:13,300 –> 00:21:16,400
\nAnd it’s not just restricted to
\nwords. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:21:16,400 –> 00:21:20,900
\nI’m going to go now to the first
\nbook of Chronicles again, and <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:20,900 –> 00:21:26,600
\nthis time to chapter 28, what
\nI’ve David’s, great Ambitions <\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:32,000
\nwas to build a temple of for the
\nLord, in the city of Jerusalem <\/p>\n

295
\n00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:38,700
\nto where he had moved the ark
\nand God prevented him from <\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:38,700 –> 00:21:44,700
\nundertaking that task but said
\nthat in Instead, it should be <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:51,400
\nperformed by his son Solomon,
\nbut David not put off made <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:51,500 –> 00:21:55,700
\nextensive preparation for the
\nbuilding of a temple for God, <\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:59,500
\nthat would be carried out after
\nhis death. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:22:00,100 –> 00:22:03,400
\nAnd in first Chronicles chapter,
\n28, we have some of the <\/p>\n

301
\n00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:08,200
\npreparations that David made of
\nfor the construction of that <\/p>\n

302
\n00:22:08,200 –> 00:22:13,300
\nTemple.
\nVerse 11 of First Chronicles 28.<\/p>\n

303
\n00:22:16,500 –> 00:22:20,500
\nThen David gave to Solomon, his
\nson, the pattern of the porch <\/p>\n

304
\n00:22:21,000 –> 00:22:24,600
\nand at the houses thereof and of
\nthe treasury’s thereof and of <\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:24,600 –> 00:22:28,500
\nthe upper chambers thereof and
\nof the inner parlors thereof, <\/p>\n

306
\n00:22:28,500 –> 00:22:30,900
\nand of the place of the mercy
\nseat. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:22:31,500 –> 00:22:35,100
\nAnd the pattern of all that he
\nhad by the spirit of the Courts <\/p>\n

308
\n00:22:35,100 –> 00:22:38,400
\nof the house of the Lord, and
\nhave all the chambers around <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,600
\nabout of the treasuries of the
\nhouse of God and of, the <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:46,100
\ntreasuries of the dedicated
\nthings and come down to verse 9,<\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:50,600
\n18.
\nAll this said, David the Lord <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:57,500
\nmade me understand in writing by
\nhis hand upon me all the works <\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:57,500 –> 00:23:01,500
\nof this pattern.
\nYou see what David is saying. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:23:01,500 –> 00:23:04,500
\nYou saying here are the
\narchitectural drawings. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:23:04,700 –> 00:23:07,800
\nHere are the plans which I’m
\ngoing to give to my son. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:12,800
\nSolomon to allow this Temple to
\nbe constructed and these aren’t <\/p>\n

317
\n00:23:12,800 –> 00:23:19,000
\nmy plans, but as I drew the
\nlines on the paper that God’s <\/p>\n

318
\n00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:23,800
\nhand was upon me so that they
\nshould exactly conform to the <\/p>\n

319
\n00:23:23,800 –> 00:23:32,000
\npattern that God determines Now,
\nDavid is a great man described <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:32,000 –> 00:23:37,600
\nin the Bible as the man after
\nGod’s Own Hearts, but even David<\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:41,800
\nwith his wonderful insight into
\nthe things of God was not <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:41,800 –> 00:23:48,100
\nsufficient to draw those plans.
\nAccording to his own ideas that <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:48,100 –> 00:23:51,600
\nfor a place, a temple, a house
\nwhere God should be worshipped, <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:51,700 –> 00:23:56,800
\nit was necessary that they
\nshould be exactly right to <\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:56,800 –> 00:23:59,600
\nexpress.
\nIs the ideas that were <\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:59,600 –> 00:24:05,000
\nappropriate for the worship of
\nGod from God’s perspective? <\/p>\n

327
\n00:24:05,100 –> 00:24:07,400
\nAnd not from the perspective of
\na man. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:24:07,500 –> 00:24:11,900
\nHowever, great that man might
\nbe, so that God didn’t leave it <\/p>\n

329
\n00:24:11,900 –> 00:24:13,700
\nto chance.
\nHe didn’t leave it to the <\/p>\n

330
\n00:24:13,700 –> 00:24:17,000
\nability of David’s.
\nBut, you know, David’s a great <\/p>\n

331
\n00:24:17,000 –> 00:24:18,400
\nman.
\nI’m sure he’ll get something <\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:21,600
\napproximately right, that that
\nwasn’t sufficient. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:24:21,600 –> 00:24:28,800
\nThat God guided, David’s Hands.
\nSo the plan would be exactly <\/p>\n

334
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:33,600
\nwhat was appropriate for a house
\nfor God to be worshipped. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:42,700
\nThat the things that God
\nprovided the ideas that God <\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:42,700 –> 00:24:49,200
\nexpressed were not in any way,
\nlimited by the capacity of the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:49,200 –> 00:24:54,100
\nindividual that he used.
\nIt wasn’t limited by David’s <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:54,100 –> 00:24:57,000
\nunderstanding or David’s
\ninsights that. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:57,000 –> 00:25:02,500
\nGod, could overrule that go over
\nand beyond that to ensure that <\/p>\n

340
\n00:25:02,500 –> 00:25:06,500
\nthey were exactly right as God’s
\nintended. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:25:06,600 –> 00:25:11,700
\nIt in the New Testament.
\nThen Peter has something to say <\/p>\n

342
\n00:25:11,700 –> 00:25:14,900
\nabout that.
\nThe Apostle Peter in the letters<\/p>\n

343
\n00:25:14,900 –> 00:25:19,600
\nthat he wrote switch, we find
\ntowards the end of the pages of <\/p>\n

344
\n00:25:19,600 –> 00:25:23,700
\nthe New Testaments.
\nLet’s go to the first letter of <\/p>\n

345
\n00:25:23,700 –> 00:25:27,300
\nPeter.
\nFirst of all, and chapter one. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:25:29,900 –> 00:25:38,000
\nPeter is writing about the
\nsalvation that God has made <\/p>\n

347
\n00:25:38,000 –> 00:25:41,500
\navailable to men and women
\nthrough the work of the Lord <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:41,500 –> 00:25:44,900
\nJesus Christ.
\nIn First, Peter chapter 1 in <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:44,900 –> 00:25:49,900
\nverse 10.
\nHe says of which salvation the <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:49,900 –> 00:25:53,700
\nprophets have inquired and
\nsearched diligently who <\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:53,700 –> 00:25:56,300
\nprophesied of the grace.
\nThat should come unto you <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:56,300 –> 00:25:59,400
\nsearching.
\nWhat or what manner of time the <\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:03,200
\nspirit Of Christ which was in
\nthem did signify when it <\/p>\n

354
\n00:26:03,200 –> 00:26:06,200
\ntestified beforehand the
\nsufferings of Christ and the <\/p>\n

355
\n00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:10,100
\nglory that should follow and to
\nwhom it was revealed that not <\/p>\n

356
\n00:26:10,100 –> 00:26:14,900
\nunto themselves but unto us they
\ndid Minister the things which <\/p>\n

357
\n00:26:14,900 –> 00:26:18,500
\nare now reported unto you buy
\nthem that have preached the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:26:18,500 –> 00:26:24,900
\ngospel unto you.
\nSo here’s Peter confirming. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:26:25,200 –> 00:26:29,700
\nThat God was not limited by the
\nunderstanding or the time. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:26:29,900 –> 00:26:34,300
\nAs or the circumstances, or
\nanything else that related to <\/p>\n

361
\n00:26:34,300 –> 00:26:38,800
\nthe men that he used the profits
\nthat he used to rights the <\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:38,800 –> 00:26:41,000
\ndifferent books of the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:41,400 –> 00:26:45,400
\nIt is saying in fact that
\nbecause God controlled the <\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:45,400 –> 00:26:50,300
\noutput of those individuals that
\nthey studied their own writings,<\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:50,600 –> 00:26:55,000
\nthey searched diligently the
\nthings that they had recorded. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:55,200 –> 00:26:59,800
\nSo they might understand more
\nfully the things that God had. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:59,900 –> 00:27:04,500
\nWaited through them concerning
\nthe work of the Christ, his son <\/p>\n

368
\n00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:08,500
\nthat they weren’t limited by
\ntheir knowledge. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:27:08,500 –> 00:27:13,000
\nThey could improve their
\nunderstanding by studying their <\/p>\n

370
\n00:27:13,000 –> 00:27:18,500
\nown words and beyond that
\nbecause God was in control of <\/p>\n

371
\n00:27:18,500 –> 00:27:22,700
\nthe process because God’s
\ninspiration was controlling the <\/p>\n

372
\n00:27:22,700 –> 00:27:27,200
\noutput that the prophets put
\ndown that the things that they <\/p>\n

373
\n00:27:27,200 –> 00:27:32,600
\nwrote are of even greater A
\nbenefit to those who live and <\/p>\n

374
\n00:27:33,200 –> 00:27:36,500
\nseek these things.
\nAfter the time of the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n

375
\n00:27:36,500 –> 00:27:41,200
\nChrist, there have greater
\nbenefit to people who lived long<\/p>\n

376
\n00:27:41,200 –> 00:27:45,800
\nafter the time that the prophets
\nwho wrote them lifts that as <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:45,800 –> 00:27:49,800
\nPeter said there in verse 12
\nthat they ministered to us, that<\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:49,800 –> 00:27:53,400
\nthey ministered to individuals
\nin later times who could get the<\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:53,400 –> 00:27:57,400
\nfull benefit of the prophets
\nmessage because they had the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:57,700 –> 00:27:59,700
\nblessing of being after the
\ntime. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:27:59,900 –> 00:28:03,900
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ and
\ntherefore could understand fully<\/p>\n

382
\n00:28:04,500 –> 00:28:09,400
\nhow God achieved salvation
\nthrough the life of the death <\/p>\n

383
\n00:28:09,400 –> 00:28:13,400
\nand the resurrection of his son.
\nThat’s because God is in <\/p>\n

384
\n00:28:13,400 –> 00:28:16,500
\ncontrol, that?
\nYeah let’s choose a prophet <\/p>\n

385
\n00:28:16,500 –> 00:28:23,900
\nIsaiah, say writing 700 BC,
\ncould write something that Peter<\/p>\n

386
\n00:28:23,900 –> 00:28:27,300
\nand the first century and
\nourselves in the 21st century <\/p>\n

387
\n00:28:27,400 –> 00:28:31,600
\ncan benefit from even more more
\nthan Isaiah and his <\/p>\n

388
\n00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:35,900
\ncontemporaries could benefit
\nfrom even though they could <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:36,100 –> 00:28:40,800
\nbenefit greatly because it
\nwasn’t limited by Isaiah’s <\/p>\n

390
\n00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:45,900
\ntimes, it wasn’t limited by
\nIsaiah’s understanding, it was <\/p>\n

391
\n00:28:46,500 –> 00:28:53,000
\nnot limited because it was God’s
\nwords that he provided to <\/p>\n

392
\n00:28:53,600 –> 00:28:57,800
\nIsaiah.
\nNow we come over to the second <\/p>\n

393
\n00:28:57,800 –> 00:29:02,700
\nletter of Peter, just going on a
\nfew pages, further it in the New<\/p>\n

394
\n00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:09,300
\nTestaments, then When Peter
\nmakes a another comments about <\/p>\n

395
\n00:29:09,300 –> 00:29:13,300
\nthis.
\nHe’s talking about the <\/p>\n

396
\n00:29:13,300 –> 00:29:18,500
\ndifference evidences that ashore
\nfollowers of the Lord, Jesus <\/p>\n

397
\n00:29:18,500 –> 00:29:22,900
\nChrist, that the things that
\nthey believe and the things that<\/p>\n

398
\n00:29:22,900 –> 00:29:26,600
\nthey have learned are true.
\nAnd one of the things that he is<\/p>\n

399
\n00:29:26,600 –> 00:29:30,200
\ntalking about in, this chapter,
\nis his own experience. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:33,800
\nAnd the things that he could
\nwitness to that, he had seen <\/p>\n

401
\n00:29:33,800 –> 00:29:38,800
\npersonally during his time with
\nJesus Christ in the days of the <\/p>\n

402
\n00:29:38,800 –> 00:29:42,400
\nministry of Jesus.
\nBut having spoken of his own <\/p>\n

403
\n00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:45,300
\npersonal witness to the things
\nthat he could sing. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:29:45,500 –> 00:29:52,100
\nHe says this in verse 19, second
\nPeter, chapter 1 and verse 19. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:29:53,500 –> 00:29:57,600
\nHe says we have also a more sure
\nword of Prophecy whereunto. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:29:57,600 –> 00:30:01,300
\nYou do well that you take heed
\nas unto a light that shines in a<\/p>\n

407
\n00:30:01,300 –> 00:30:05,500
\ndark place, until the day Dawn,
\nand the day star arise in your <\/p>\n

408
\n00:30:05,500 –> 00:30:08,400
\nhearts knowing this.
\nFirst, that no Prophecy of the <\/p>\n

409
\n00:30:08,400 –> 00:30:10,600
\nscripture.
\nNo Prophecy of the scripture is <\/p>\n

410
\n00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:15,000
\nof any private interpretation
\nfor the prophecy came not in Old<\/p>\n

411
\n00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:18,800
\nTime by the will of man, but
\nholy men of God, spake. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:30:18,800 –> 00:30:22,500
\nAs they were moved by The Holy
\nSpirits. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:30:23,600 –> 00:30:26,600
\nSo Peter is saying, you’ve not
\nonly got the eyewitness <\/p>\n

414
\n00:30:26,600 –> 00:30:30,600
\ntestimony that I can give to
\nyou, but there’s an even better <\/p>\n

415
\n00:30:30,600 –> 00:30:32,900
\nwitness which is the witness of
\nProphecy. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:30:32,900 –> 00:30:38,200
\nThe witness of the words written
\nby God’s prophets which gives <\/p>\n

417
\n00:30:38,200 –> 00:30:40,600
\nlight it.
\nGives education it illuminates, <\/p>\n

418
\n00:30:40,600 –> 00:30:45,900
\nlike a light in a dark place
\nbecause it’s not given by man. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:30:45,900 –> 00:30:52,400
\nIt’s not private in any way but
\nit comes from God’s and then he <\/p>\n

420
\n00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:56,500
\nmade that comment in verse 21
\nbecause the prophecy came not in<\/p>\n

421
\n00:30:56,500 –> 00:31:01,700
\nOld Time by the will of man, it
\nwasn’t of man’s volition that <\/p>\n

422
\n00:31:01,700 –> 00:31:05,400
\nthese things were written but
\nholy men of God, spake. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:31:05,500 –> 00:31:10,300
\nAs they were moved by the Holy
\nSpirit. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:31:11,700 –> 00:31:14,900
\nI’ve already commented that
\nthese new testament words were <\/p>\n

425
\n00:31:14,900 –> 00:31:17,900
\nfirst written in the Greek
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:31:18,300 –> 00:31:22,300
\nAnd when the Peter says that,
\nholy men of God, spake, as they <\/p>\n

427
\n00:31:22,300 –> 00:31:29,300
\nwere moved, he uses a word which
\nconveys quite a strong idea that<\/p>\n

428
\n00:31:29,300 –> 00:31:31,800
\nthere’s a record in the Acts of
\nthe Apostles. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:35,800
\nWhen the Apostle Paul has been
\ntaken to the city of Rome to <\/p>\n

430
\n00:31:35,800 –> 00:31:38,600
\nstand trial.
\nAnd during the course of that <\/p>\n

431
\n00:31:38,600 –> 00:31:41,200
\nJourney, he is Shipwrecked along
\nthe way. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:31:41,500 –> 00:31:44,500
\nAs the ship in which he is,
\ntraveling is caught up in a <\/p>\n

433
\n00:31:44,500 –> 00:31:49,000
\nmighty storm and the record
\ntells us that because of the <\/p>\n

434
\n00:31:49,000 –> 00:31:54,900
\nforce of the wind and then the
\nsailors had no opportunity to <\/p>\n

435
\n00:31:54,900 –> 00:31:58,900
\nsteer the ship that.
\nIf they try to steer the ship <\/p>\n

436
\n00:31:58,900 –> 00:32:02,300
\ndifferent to the way in which
\nthe wind was blowing, that the <\/p>\n

437
\n00:32:02,300 –> 00:32:06,600
\nforce of the wind was so great
\nthat it would up of uprooted the<\/p>\n

438
\n00:32:06,600 –> 00:32:09,800
\nmasks and wrecked the ship
\nearlier than it did. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:14,400
\nOtherwise, So the only option
\nthat the sailors had was to run <\/p>\n

440
\n00:32:14,400 –> 00:32:17,300
\nwith the winds.
\nThe force was so great that the <\/p>\n

441
\n00:32:17,300 –> 00:32:20,100
\nship just had to run before the
\nforce of the wind. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:32:20,300 –> 00:32:25,700
\nIt was compelled Along by the
\nferocity of the Gale. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:32:26,800 –> 00:32:30,200
\nAnd the word that’s used in The
\nActs of the Apostles to describe<\/p>\n

444
\n00:32:30,200 –> 00:32:35,900
\nthe ship being compelled to go
\nin a certain direction by the <\/p>\n

445
\n00:32:35,900 –> 00:32:39,500
\nforce of the storm.
\nIs the word that Peter uses <\/p>\n

446
\n00:32:39,500 –> 00:32:41,100
\nhere.
\nFor holy men of God. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:32:41,100 –> 00:32:45,400
\nBeing moved by the Holy Spirit.
\nThey were compelled. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:32:45,600 –> 00:32:49,100
\nThey were forced Along by the
\nHoly Spirit. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:32:49,100 –> 00:32:52,200
\nIt wasn’t down to their will, it
\nwasn’t out of their choice? <\/p>\n

450
\n00:32:52,700 –> 00:32:58,300
\nIt was what God requires that.
\nOnce expressed. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:32:59,500 –> 00:33:05,300
\nNow, I can illustrate that for
\nyou, going back to the Old <\/p>\n

452
\n00:33:05,300 –> 00:33:10,400
\nTestament and actually to the
\ntime of Moses, and going to the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:33:10,400 –> 00:33:14,000
\nBook of Numbers.
\nThis time, if you’re following, <\/p>\n

454
\n00:33:14,500 –> 00:33:20,200
\nlet’s go to Numbers chapter, 22
\nand Numbers, Chapter 23, bit. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:33:20,200 –> 00:33:26,300
\nBecause I suppose that this
\nphenomena of inspiration there, <\/p>\n

456
\n00:33:26,400 –> 00:33:30,700
\nvaries from Individual to
\nindividual, but that on the one <\/p>\n

457
\n00:33:30,700 –> 00:33:36,500
\nextreme, you might have a man
\nlike, David’s of a deeply <\/p>\n

458
\n00:33:36,500 –> 00:33:40,400
\nspiritual character with
\ntremendous insight into the word<\/p>\n

459
\n00:33:40,400 –> 00:33:45,900
\nof God, who could express the
\nPraises that came to his mind <\/p>\n

460
\n00:33:45,900 –> 00:33:50,800
\nand the understanding that he
\nhad and perhaps with, only a <\/p>\n

461
\n00:33:50,800 –> 00:33:54,400
\nsmall amount of change through
\nthe operation of God’s Spirits <\/p>\n

462
\n00:33:54,800 –> 00:34:00,600
\nbecame exactly what God Quiets
\nOn The Other Extreme you might <\/p>\n

463
\n00:34:00,600 –> 00:34:05,300
\nhave a rare case where God uses
\na man who is not inclined at all<\/p>\n

464
\n00:34:05,500 –> 00:34:10,900
\nto the things of God and who God
\noveralls completely in every way<\/p>\n

465
\n00:34:11,400 –> 00:34:17,600
\nto ensure words that God
\nrequires to be spoken are spoken<\/p>\n

466
\n00:34:17,900 –> 00:34:22,000
\nand such a case is the prophet
\nBalaam who we read about in The <\/p>\n

467
\n00:34:22,000 –> 00:34:26,100
\nBook of Numbers chapters 22 and
\n23 here. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:34:26,400 –> 00:34:32,100
\nBalaam is presented to us as a
\nfalse prophets, a man who has a <\/p>\n

469
\n00:34:32,100 –> 00:34:37,000
\nknowledge of the living Gods,
\nbut instead of using that <\/p>\n

470
\n00:34:37,000 –> 00:34:41,500
\nknowledge to worship God and to
\nseek more, clearly into the <\/p>\n

471
\n00:34:41,500 –> 00:34:45,600
\nthings of his truth, uses the
\nknowledge that he has to enrich <\/p>\n

472
\n00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:48,500
\nhimself and to manipulate
\nothers. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:34:48,500 –> 00:34:54,800
\nAnd in this section of the Book
\nof Numbers, the nation of <\/p>\n

474
\n00:34:54,800 –> 00:34:58,800
\nIsrael, making their Journey
\nHolds the land of Israel are <\/p>\n

475
\n00:34:58,800 –> 00:35:04,200
\ncamped in the plains of Moab and
\nthe king of that area is rather <\/p>\n

476
\n00:35:04,200 –> 00:35:08,400
\nconcerned by the presence of
\nthis large body of people on the<\/p>\n

477
\n00:35:08,400 –> 00:35:12,700
\nborders of his lamps.
\nHe’s worried that if there is <\/p>\n

478
\n00:35:12,700 –> 00:35:17,000
\nconflict between them, that his
\nkingdom will be taken from him <\/p>\n

479
\n00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:20,800
\nand he’s heard of the reputation
\nof this false prophet Baylin. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:35:21,400 –> 00:35:26,300
\nSo he wants Balaam to come and
\ncurse. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:35:26,400 –> 00:35:30,900
\nThe people of Israel.
\nAnd he’s prepared to pay <\/p>\n

482
\n00:35:30,900 –> 00:35:36,300
\nhandsomely for Balaam to do that
\nand there’s nothing that Balaam <\/p>\n

483
\n00:35:36,300 –> 00:35:39,700
\nwants more than to take the
\nmoney that’s on offer. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:35:40,100 –> 00:35:43,000
\nHe wants to fulfill the
\ncommission that the King has <\/p>\n

485
\n00:35:43,000 –> 00:35:45,600
\ngiven him.
\nHe wants to take the opportunity<\/p>\n

486
\n00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:52,400
\nto curse these people and to
\nreceive a bountiful rewards. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:35:53,100 –> 00:35:58,400
\nBut before he travels, he’s
\nwarned about the situation by an<\/p>\n

488
\n00:35:58,600 –> 00:36:03,500
\nYou love God’s Numbers, chapter
\n22, and verse 35. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:36:06,600 –> 00:36:12,000
\nThe angel of the Lord said unto
\nBalaam go with the men, but only<\/p>\n

490
\n00:36:12,000 –> 00:36:17,600
\nthe word that I shall speak unto
\nthee, that thou shalt speak. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:36:18,300 –> 00:36:21,200
\nSo Balaam went with the princes
\nof balak. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:36:21,300 –> 00:36:23,900
\nThey lack is the Kink of the
\narea. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:36:24,500 –> 00:36:29,600
\nSo the angel said to Balaam only
\nthe words that the angel allowed<\/p>\n

494
\n00:36:30,100 –> 00:36:38,500
\nshould Balaam speak we come into
\nWhere we can come down to verse <\/p>\n

495
\n00:36:38,500 –> 00:36:41,700
\n38.
\nWhen Balaam meets the king. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:36:41,700 –> 00:36:44,600
\nBalaam said unto Baal a khlo.
\nI am come unto thee. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:36:44,800 –> 00:36:49,800
\nHave I now any power at all to
\nsay anything, the word that God <\/p>\n

498
\n00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:52,300
\nputs in my mouth, that shall I
\nspeak? <\/p>\n

499
\n00:36:52,400 –> 00:36:58,500
\nSo he confesses that his own
\nwill has nothing to do with the <\/p>\n

500
\n00:36:58,500 –> 00:37:03,200
\nwords that he speaks.
\nAnd when we come into the next <\/p>\n

501
\n00:37:03,200 –> 00:37:08,600
\nchapter, then we find Balaam
\ntrying to Curse the nation of <\/p>\n

502
\n00:37:08,600 –> 00:37:14,500
\nIsrael in order to receive the
\nrewards and every time he opens <\/p>\n

503
\n00:37:14,500 –> 00:37:22,300
\nhis mouth to curse then instead
\nblessings come out and we have a<\/p>\n

504
\n00:37:22,300 –> 00:37:26,200
\nslime, a ridiculous situation
\nreally where where the king is <\/p>\n

505
\n00:37:26,200 –> 00:37:28,600
\nsaying to me, well, you know, I
\nwant you to curse and you’re <\/p>\n

506
\n00:37:28,600 –> 00:37:30,500
\nspeaking blessings.
\nWell, maybe if you come behind <\/p>\n

507
\n00:37:30,500 –> 00:37:33,000
\nthe hill that you can’t even see
\nthese people, you’ll be able to <\/p>\n

508
\n00:37:33,000 –> 00:37:35,100
\ncurse them.
\nSo, he goes behind the hill and <\/p>\n

509
\n00:37:35,100 –> 00:37:37,800
\nhe and he tries to Curse.
\nSo that every time he tries to <\/p>\n

510
\n00:37:37,800 –> 00:37:46,000
\ncurse then instead blessings
\ncome out verse 5 of chapter 23, <\/p>\n

511
\n00:37:46,600 –> 00:37:51,000
\nthe Lord put a word in balaam’s
\nmath and said return and to <\/p>\n

512
\n00:37:51,000 –> 00:37:56,600
\nbalak and thus Thou shalt speak
\nthat the word the laws rather <\/p>\n

513
\n00:37:56,600 –> 00:38:03,700
\ncontrolled, the tongue of Balaam
\nto enforce that the words that <\/p>\n

514
\n00:38:03,700 –> 00:38:06,000
\nthe almighty required to be
\nspoken. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:10,200
\nWere the words that he spoke the
\nking gets very frustrated. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:38:10,200 –> 00:38:14,000
\nIf we come down to verse 11 of
\nchapter 23, balak said unto <\/p>\n

517
\n00:38:14,000 –> 00:38:16,300
\nBalaam, what hast thou done unto
\nme. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:38:16,500 –> 00:38:20,200
\nI took me to curse, mine enemies
\nand thou Hast blessed them all <\/p>\n

519
\n00:38:20,200 –> 00:38:23,500
\ntogether.
\nAnd Balaam said answered and <\/p>\n

520
\n00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:27,500
\nsaid, most do not take heed to
\nspeak that which the Lord hath <\/p>\n

521
\n00:38:27,500 –> 00:38:32,800
\nput in my mouth.
\nSo they’re gone in absolute <\/p>\n

522
\n00:38:32,800 –> 00:38:36,100
\ncontrol.
\nWhat they l’m sets Amanda. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:38:36,300 –> 00:38:42,600
\nDesperate to curse.
\nBut only able to speak blessings<\/p>\n

524
\n00:38:43,000 –> 00:38:50,000
\ncompelled to bless by the will
\nof gods that overrules, the will<\/p>\n

525
\n00:38:50,500 –> 00:38:55,700
\nof the man.
\nGod’s words is not dependent on <\/p>\n

526
\n00:38:56,300 –> 00:39:05,400
\nor changeable by man in any way.
\nThat’s what the experience of <\/p>\n

527
\n00:39:05,400 –> 00:39:09,700
\nBalaam and the other prophets is
\ntelling us. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:39:12,800 –> 00:39:18,500
\nGo back to the New Testament for
\nour final few references. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:39:18,500 –> 00:39:21,500
\nWe started with the Apostle,
\nPaul and the Apostle. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:39:21,500 –> 00:39:27,400
\nPaul also comments about the
\ninspiration, that’s underpinned <\/p>\n

531
\n00:39:27,400 –> 00:39:31,600
\nhis teaching take you.
\nIf you’re following to the first<\/p>\n

532
\n00:39:31,600 –> 00:39:35,300
\nletter that he wrote to the
\nCorinthians to the communities <\/p>\n

533
\n00:39:35,800 –> 00:39:42,200
\nof Believers, in the city of
\nCorinth where he speaks about. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:39:42,300 –> 00:39:47,300
\nThe character and the quality of
\nthe inspiration of God as it <\/p>\n

535
\n00:39:47,300 –> 00:39:53,100
\noperates it in the teaching of
\nthe Apostles of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:39:54,000 –> 00:40:04,300
\nFirst of the Corinthians and
\ndeath 2:12. now we says speaking<\/p>\n

537
\n00:40:05,100 –> 00:40:09,300
\ninitially about himself and the
\nother Apostles we have received,<\/p>\n

538
\n00:40:09,300 –> 00:40:13,500
\nnot the spirit of the world, but
\nthe spirit, which is of god, <\/p>\n

539
\n00:40:13,700 –> 00:40:17,900
\nthat we might know the things
\nthat are freely given to us of <\/p>\n

540
\n00:40:17,900 –> 00:40:23,000
\nGod’s which things also, we
\nspeak not in The Words, which <\/p>\n

541
\n00:40:23,000 –> 00:40:27,200
\nman’s Wisdom teacheth, but which
\nthe Holy Spirit teaches <\/p>\n

542
\n00:40:27,600 –> 00:40:32,000
\ncomparing spiritual things with
\nSpiritual. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:40:33,200 –> 00:40:36,800
\nThat’s Paul, you know, this
\nisn’t education. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:40:37,100 –> 00:40:40,600
\nThis isn’t cleverness.
\nThis isn’t the ability of these <\/p>\n

545
\n00:40:40,600 –> 00:40:46,500
\nteachers that God is using.
\nThis is God’s activity that <\/p>\n

546
\n00:40:46,500 –> 00:40:51,400
\nthrough the Holy Spirit.
\nHe has taught them, the things <\/p>\n

547
\n00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:55,300
\nthey are to express.
\nI don’t know if you know <\/p>\n

548
\n00:40:55,300 –> 00:40:59,900
\nanything about the Apostle Paul.
\nThe Apostle Paul was a brilliant<\/p>\n

549
\n00:40:59,900 –> 00:41:02,600
\nman.
\nBefore he became a follower of <\/p>\n

550
\n00:41:02,600 –> 00:41:07,000
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ, he was
\none of the great up-and-coming <\/p>\n

551
\n00:41:07,000 –> 00:41:10,600
\ntalents of the Jewish
\nestablishments. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:41:11,000 –> 00:41:16,100
\nHe had the best education in the
\nthings of the Jewish, <\/p>\n

553
\n00:41:16,100 –> 00:41:18,600
\nunderstanding of the word of
\nGod, and the Old Testament <\/p>\n

554
\n00:41:18,600 –> 00:41:20,900
\nscriptures, that it was possible
\nto have. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:41:21,100 –> 00:41:25,700
\nHe had a Brilliant Minds, a
\nlawyer’s mind to argue with <\/p>\n

556
\n00:41:25,700 –> 00:41:29,300
\nlogic.
\nIs it it’s got nothing to do <\/p>\n

557
\n00:41:29,300 –> 00:41:32,600
\nwith my education.
\nIt’s got nothing to do with how <\/p>\n

558
\n00:41:32,600 –> 00:41:35,300
\nclever I am.
\nIt’s got nothing to do with the <\/p>\n

559
\n00:41:35,300 –> 00:41:36,900
\ndifferent abilities that I might
\nhave. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:41:36,900 –> 00:41:42,000
\nAnd that somebody else might not
\ngot nothing to do with my <\/p>\n

561
\n00:41:42,000 –> 00:41:48,500
\nability, but it’s down to The
\nWords, which God teaches through<\/p>\n

562
\n00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:51,900
\nthe operation of his holy
\nspirit, or even a brilliant <\/p>\n

563
\n00:41:51,900 –> 00:41:55,900
\nscholar, like Paul would admits
\nthat. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:41:55,900 –> 00:42:00,300
\nIt’s not his learning, not his
\nunderstanding, not his ability. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:42:01,000 –> 00:42:07,500
\nBut utterly controls by God’s.
\nNow, the outworking of that in <\/p>\n

566
\n00:42:07,500 –> 00:42:11,500
\nan illustration comes towards
\nthe end of this first letter to <\/p>\n

567
\n00:42:11,500 –> 00:42:14,400
\nthe Corinthians.
\nIf I can take you now to Chapter<\/p>\n

568
\n00:42:14,400 –> 00:42:24,300
\n14, verse Corinthians, chapter
\n14 and verse 37 towards the end <\/p>\n

569
\n00:42:24,300 –> 00:42:27,300
\nof the chapter there.
\nOne of the things that we learn <\/p>\n

570
\n00:42:27,300 –> 00:42:29,800
\nwhen we read through the first
\nletter that Paul wrote to the <\/p>\n

571
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:34,400
\nBelievers at Corinth, was that
\nhe had opponents, that there <\/p>\n

572
\n00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:38,500
\nwere other men who went to those
\ncommunities of Believers and try<\/p>\n

573
\n00:42:38,500 –> 00:42:41,400
\nto teach them something a little
\ndifferent, to the teaching of <\/p>\n

574
\n00:42:41,400 –> 00:42:46,400
\nthe Apostle Paul, and in order
\nto try and get others to accept <\/p>\n

575
\n00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:49,800
\ntheir point of view, who chose
\nto try and belittle and <\/p>\n

576
\n00:42:49,800 –> 00:42:54,500
\nundermine the Apostle Paul,
\nPaul, and that’s been happening.<\/p>\n

577
\n00:42:54,500 –> 00:42:57,300
\nAnd that’s the background to
\nwhat Paul has to say here. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:42:57,800 –> 00:43:03,300
\nSo, in verse 37 of First
\nCorinthians 14, he says If any <\/p>\n

579
\n00:43:03,300 –> 00:43:07,500
\nman think himself to be a
\nprophet or spiritual, let him <\/p>\n

580
\n00:43:07,500 –> 00:43:11,600
\nacknowledge that the things that
\nI write unto, you are the <\/p>\n

581
\n00:43:11,600 –> 00:43:15,700
\nCommandments of the law.
\nIt’s so with one eye on his <\/p>\n

582
\n00:43:15,700 –> 00:43:17,900
\nopponents, were trying to
\nundermine him. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:43:17,900 –> 00:43:22,600
\nSo, look, this is the situation.
\nIf anyone comes here and they <\/p>\n

584
\n00:43:22,600 –> 00:43:25,400
\nset themselves up to be a
\nprophet to speak for God, or a <\/p>\n

585
\n00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,900
\nspiritual person who can give
\nguidance to the Believers, let <\/p>\n

586
\n00:43:29,900 –> 00:43:33,300
\nthem first.
\nAcknowledge that Paul’s Words, <\/p>\n

587
\n00:43:34,200 –> 00:43:37,800
\nthe things that he has written
\nto the Believers in Corinth are <\/p>\n

588
\n00:43:37,800 –> 00:43:41,100
\nthe Commandments of the Lord
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:43:43,800 –> 00:43:45,000
\nBecause they weren’t Paul’s
\nwords. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:43:45,000 –> 00:43:48,100
\nAt all, they didn’t depend on
\nPaul. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:43:48,800 –> 00:43:53,300
\nThey were the words that Paul
\nhad been taught by the holy <\/p>\n

592
\n00:43:53,300 –> 00:43:55,300
\nspirit’s.
\nThey were the Commandments of <\/p>\n

593
\n00:43:55,300 –> 00:43:58,100
\nthe Lord’s.
\nTheir Authority came, not from <\/p>\n

594
\n00:43:58,100 –> 00:44:02,400
\nPaul and then he personal
\nAuthority, he might have, but <\/p>\n

595
\n00:44:02,400 –> 00:44:11,000
\nfrom God’s entirely.
\nAnd you know that even applied <\/p>\n

596
\n00:44:11,200 –> 00:44:16,400
\nto the Lord Jesus Christ
\nhimself, the son of Gods, the <\/p>\n

597
\n00:44:16,400 –> 00:44:21,400
\ngreatest of men.
\nFinally let’s go to John chapter<\/p>\n

598
\n00:44:21,400 –> 00:44:26,500
\n8 and see the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nSpeaking about his own <\/p>\n

599
\n00:44:26,500 –> 00:44:33,500
\nexperience.
\nIn John’s gospel, Jesus is often<\/p>\n

600
\n00:44:33,500 –> 00:44:35,700
\nfound in discussion and
\nargument. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:44:35,700 –> 00:44:40,300
\nWe might say, with the leaders
\nof the Jewish Nation, their <\/p>\n

602
\n00:44:40,300 –> 00:44:44,100
\nreligious teachers and
\nauthority, and he’s in that <\/p>\n

603
\n00:44:44,100 –> 00:44:51,000
\nsituation here in John chapter
\n8, John chapter 8, and verse 26.<\/p>\n

604
\n00:44:53,700 –> 00:44:57,800
\nJesus speaking, he says, I have
\nmany things to say and to judge <\/p>\n

605
\n00:44:57,800 –> 00:45:02,700
\nof you, but he that sent me is
\ntrue and I speak to the world, <\/p>\n

606
\n00:45:02,700 –> 00:45:08,500
\nthose things which I have heard
\nof him They understood not that,<\/p>\n

607
\n00:45:08,500 –> 00:45:13,400
\nhe spake to them of the father,
\nthen said Jesus unto them when <\/p>\n

608
\n00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:16,800
\nhe have lifted up the son of
\nman, then shall you know that I <\/p>\n

609
\n00:45:16,800 –> 00:45:20,100
\nam he and that I do nothing of
\nmyself. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:45:20,100 –> 00:45:22,400
\nBut as my father, hath taught
\nme. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:45:22,900 –> 00:45:26,900
\nI speak these things and he that
\nsent me is with me. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:45:26,900 –> 00:45:29,700
\nThe father hath not left me
\nalone for I do, always those <\/p>\n

613
\n00:45:29,700 –> 00:45:32,300
\nthings that please him as he
\nspake. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:45:32,300 –> 00:45:36,200
\nThese words, many believed on
\nhim, but that you see here is <\/p>\n

615
\n00:45:36,200 –> 00:45:37,900
\nJesus.
\nLaunched himself. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:45:38,200 –> 00:45:42,800
\nHere is the Son of God, saying
\nthe teaching that I’m giving you<\/p>\n

617
\n00:45:42,800 –> 00:45:45,700
\nhas Authority.
\nNot because of any personal <\/p>\n

618
\n00:45:45,700 –> 00:45:50,600
\nAuthority that I might have, but
\nno because I’m teaching verse <\/p>\n

619
\n00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:54,700
\n26, the things which I have
\nheard of God’s, the things, <\/p>\n

620
\n00:45:54,700 –> 00:45:59,300
\nwhich I have heard of him, or in
\nverse 28, I do nothing of <\/p>\n

621
\n00:45:59,300 –> 00:46:02,300
\nmyself, but as my father, hath
\ntaught me. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:46:03,000 –> 00:46:06,800
\nI speak these things that the
\nteaching of the Lord, Lord, <\/p>\n

623
\n00:46:06,800 –> 00:46:13,100
\nJesus Christ was authoritative.
\nBecause he had received it of <\/p>\n

624
\n00:46:13,100 –> 00:46:17,000
\nhis father that God’s word in no
\nway. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:46:18,100 –> 00:46:21,100
\nRests upon the Authority or the
\nability of man. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:46:22,200 –> 00:46:26,800
\nBut God has insured’s that the
\noriginal words that were <\/p>\n

627
\n00:46:26,800 –> 00:46:35,700
\nexpressed are the words that he
\nwanted to be set down exactly as<\/p>\n

628
\n00:46:35,700 –> 00:46:40,100
\nhe intended.
\nSo in thinking about this topic <\/p>\n

629
\n00:46:40,100 –> 00:46:43,700
\nof inspiration, this afternoon
\nand seeing just a few examples <\/p>\n

630
\n00:46:43,700 –> 00:46:48,900
\nof those who were subject to it
\nand experienced its that then we<\/p>\n

631
\n00:46:48,900 –> 00:46:56,600
\ncan draw out several key.
\nIs that the Bible puts to us but<\/p>\n

632
\n00:46:56,600 –> 00:47:00,900
\nthat Gods who made the mouth
\ncould teach you what to say <\/p>\n

633
\n00:47:01,300 –> 00:47:06,000
\nthat, God would control the
\nprocess that they’re God’s word,<\/p>\n

634
\n00:47:06,000 –> 00:47:10,600
\ndoes not change the passage of
\ntime, doesn’t alter its its <\/p>\n

635
\n00:47:10,600 –> 00:47:15,200
\nauthoritative.
\nThat God’s word is not limited <\/p>\n

636
\n00:47:15,200 –> 00:47:18,300
\nin any way, by the
\nunderstanding, or the time, or <\/p>\n

637
\n00:47:18,300 –> 00:47:23,400
\nthe circumstances of Those whom
\nhe used to produce it. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:47:24,200 –> 00:47:29,100
\nBut God’s word is not dependent
\nor changeable by man. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:47:32,800 –> 00:47:36,200
\nSo inspiration.
\nWhat does it mean? <\/p>\n

640
\n00:47:37,200 –> 00:47:39,900
\nWell, let me tell you what it
\nmeans in Practical to <\/p>\n

641
\n00:47:41,400 –> 00:47:46,900
\ninspiration means that the Bible
\nthat we are privileged to read <\/p>\n

642
\n00:47:46,900 –> 00:47:52,200
\nis God’s words.
\nAnd because it is God’s words, <\/p>\n

643
\n00:47:53,900 –> 00:48:12,400
\nwe cannot afford to ignore it.
