houston texas ecclesia

4
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.630
brother stan's classes for the week come

5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.390
under the topic of

6
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.790
the divine habitation

7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.750
of the spirit's dwelling

8
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.310
and today's class is entitled

9
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.589
the people

10
00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:31.029
the purpose

11
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.510
and the pattern from heaven

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.110
it's now our pleasure to call upon our

13
00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:39.670
brother stan isbell

14
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:41.270
it is an immense

15
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.869
privilege and pleasure

16
00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:46.869
to be able to address all of you

17
00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:48.869
the divine habitation of the spirit's

18
00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:50.069
dwelling

19
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.189
seems to encompass a tremendous amount

20
00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:55.270
and indeed it does as we let our minds

21
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.630
flow from genesis through the apocalypse

22
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.029
it is a subject that could contain and

23
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.470
does contain

24
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:03.990
principles

25
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.550
of our heavenly father's eternal realm

26
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.230
which he will establish on this earth

27
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:10.070
for the kingdom of god

28
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:12.390
is only an intermediate step

29
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:13.670
as all of you know it's only a

30
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.990
transition

31
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.830
we center our hearts upon the kingdom of

32
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.109
god

33
00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:21.429
and we should indeed

34
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.550
but again

35
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.030
it's only a stepping stone

36
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.350
to that greater glory that will cover

37
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:28.630
this earth

38
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.469
and our lord will deliver up the kingdom

39
00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:32.310
unto the father

40
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:37.190
and we must establish those visions

41
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.429
in building any habitation i know many

42
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.389
of you brethren have

43
00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:44.870
dealt with building materials and

44
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.710
patterns blueprints

45
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:49.190
architectural renderings

46
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.510
and indeed our heavenly father

47
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.469
laid out that glorious blueprint of the

48
00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:56.230
kingdom of god

49
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:58.149
in the tabernacle

50
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.789
it is indeed a blueprint that has divine

51
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.270
specifications

52
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.950
and as all of you know who have dealt

53
00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:06.630
with blueprints

54
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.589
into every quarter-inch

55
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.750
line that is drawn on a blueprint

56
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.150
there's a tremendous amount of thought

57
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:15.990
and calculation

58
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.910
and it's devised

59
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:19.910
by that architect

60
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:22.550
to the very best of his ability

61
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.430
and no less so with our heavenly father

62
00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:27.830
our heavenly father

63
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.990
from the beginning

64
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.229
had this panorama

65
00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:33.750
of his plan

66
00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:35.350
of this earth

67
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.710
and the inhabitants thereon to glorify

68
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.589
him and reflect his character

69
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.750
in all the beauty and the glory that we

70
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:47.350
have seen embodied in his son

71
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:48.309
he

72
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.869
tabernacled in him

73
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.550
and we've seen him

74
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.710
we've seen parts of him this morning

75
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.509
we've seen his results

76
00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:00.149
so we go back to the people

77
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.589
that glorious hebrew race

78
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.309
that was cut out of egypt

79
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.390
and all i know all of you have

80
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.550
the background of egypt

81
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.869
in the sense that you know what egypt

82
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.030
from the scriptures represents sin and

83
00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:17.030
bondage death

84
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.710
disease

85
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:20.229
and we've been called out of egypt

86
00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:21.589
haven't we

87
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.750
we've been baptized in the cloud in the

88
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:25.509
red sea

89
00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:27.589
even as our brother mansfield brought

90
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.990
out to us yesterday

91
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.830
and laid out a beautiful

92
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.390
exposition on exodus 15.

93
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.990
in elvis israel

94
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.390
of which all of you are familiar

95
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.470
we read the means by which god will make

96
00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:45.990
this globe a glorious province

97
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.350
and the new

98
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.789
imperial abode of the divine majesty

99
00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:53.589
couldn't be phrased any better

100
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.589
but note the five steps by which he's

101
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.270
going to do this to cover the earth with

102
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.229
his glory by his creative energy to lay

103
00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:03.110
the foundation

104
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.470
by constitutional arrangement and

105
00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:09.670
angelic oversight or providence

106
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.910
to shape and rule

107
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:15.110
or overrule all things so as to work out

108
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.550
the end proposed

109
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.150
by the moral force of truth

110
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.550
argued and attested

111
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.710
by judicial interference in human

112
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.189
affairs

113
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.590
by re-creative energy

114
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.189
in the renovation of the earth

115
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.590
and my dear brethren we are on again i

116
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.230
repeat with urgency the threshold

117
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.230
of that day of renovation

118
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.510
and the nations around us

119
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:51.110
they're driving headlong into a destiny

120
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.030
a destiny

121
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.830
with their

122
00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:56.390
maker

123
00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:58.390
and we're going to look at that

124
00:04:58.400 --> 00:04:59.990
let's turn if you would to genesis

125
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.990
chapter 3 just for a moment just to get

126
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.670
a brief background

127
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:12.710
genesis 3.

128
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.070
we know the beginning we know the way

129
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:18.070
we know the creative force of god in

130
00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:20.469
creating this earth

131
00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:22.469
and man upon it to reflect his image and

132
00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:24.150
likeness and the transgression the

133
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.430
temptation

134
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:27.350
the fall

135
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.189
and we put in at verse

136
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.230
24 he drove out the man

137
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.230
and he placed at the east of the garden

138
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.790
of eden caribbeans and a flaming sword

139
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.790
which turned every way to keep the way

140
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.390
of the tree of life and the word in the

141
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:45.270
hebrew foreplaced is sheikhan

142
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:48.390
it means to dwell

143
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.070
and this is where

144
00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:52.870
we get the hebrew word or the word the

145
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:55.430
hebrews adopted that came from this word

146
00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:58.550
actually a derivative chicana

147
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.430
shekinah shekinah glory the shekinah

148
00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:03.430
glory that abode over the tabernacle

149
00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:05.510
over the most holy place over god's

150
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:06.629
throne

151
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.510
which was between the caravans

152
00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:11.510
so we see a dwelling

153
00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:13.029
already

154
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:15.350
god's dwelling at the east of the garden

155
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.550
of eden

156
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.390
in which that flame and that sword the

157
00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:20.710
flame to consume the sacrifice the sword

158
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.469
to slay it

159
00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:24.469
to continue and propagate the battle

160
00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:25.909
against flesh

161
00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:27.270
which began as we mentioned in the

162
00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:28.550
beginning

163
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.029
when he instituted that enmity

164
00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:32.150
between

165
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.350
the woman

166
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.629
and the serpent

167
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.390
between her seed

168
00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:37.830
and the serpent

169
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:41.430
and between her seed in the serpent seed

170
00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.990
and between us and sin

171
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.430
and that battle continues to rage on

172
00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:50.950
in the hearts of every warrior

173
00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:53.430
in god's troops

174
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.950
to keep the way of the tree of life

175
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:01.110
we continue on through history in

176
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.950
genesis chapter 9

177
00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:08.950
when noah

178
00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:11.110
was giving the curse upon canaan in

179
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.550
verse 25

180
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.469
a servant of servants shall he be unto

181
00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:16.629
his brethren and he said blessed be

182
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.710
yahweh elohim of

183
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.870
shem the name

184
00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:25.350
and canaan shall be his servant

185
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.749
and elohim shall enlarge japheth and he

186
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.629
shall dwell in the tents of shem

187
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.710
the tents of shaman canaan shall be a

188
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.550
servant

189
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.430
so the one son of noah

190
00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:39.749
who would be the progenitor of the name

191
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.589
and the people who bore that precious

192
00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:43.189
name

193
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.110
his tent

194
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.110
would be in lord japheth would dwell and

195
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.350
canaan would be his servant and we are

196
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.869
going into that tent that glorious tenth

197
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.629
of god's making

198
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.869
and brothers and sisters more than that

199
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.390
we are the tent

200
00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:02.309
and in us dwell

201
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.390
the principles

202
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:07.430
of which that material that made up that

203
00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:10.150
tent reflects and teaches

204
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.469
so we must maintain those principles in

205
00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:13.749
our lives

206
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.749
that there might be

207
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.749
a tent

208
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:21.110
chapter 11

209
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.629
you're familiar with the account of the

210
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.150
tower of babel

211
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.110
men decided to build didn't they

212
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.749
they decided to build a community and a

213
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.270
tower in the plain

214
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:36.790
land of shinar and they dwelt there

215
00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:38.389
and you know the outcome of that

216
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.750
building that tower for that name

217
00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:44.310
of man that reflects the image

218
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.190
of sin and self-will

219
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.829
and earthy objectives

220
00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:51.670
all under the name of religion and

221
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:53.430
worship

222
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.150
the heavens

223
00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:58.790
and what was the outcome

224
00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:00.310
it's amazing

225
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.070
it truly is if you look at verse

226
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.470
16

227
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.870
there was a brother

228
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:11.190
whose name was eber

229
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.509
he lived four and thirty years and begat

230
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.509
pele he had a son

231
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.910
and you know how we name our sons

232
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:19.350
after

233
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.110
our hearts desire and the truth

234
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.630
oftentimes sometimes we name them after

235
00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:24.550
ourselves which is fine

236
00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:26.150
we want them to be a reflection of

237
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:27.910
ourselves

238
00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:29.990
and we hope we are a reflection

239
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.829
of our heavenly father

240
00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:33.910
but heber decided to name his son pilate

241
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:37.590
why because it tells us why

242
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.070
because peleg as you notice your margin

243
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.630
over i'm sorry turn to chapter 10 verse

244
00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:46.470
2 verse 25 and it gives us the

245
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.430
definition of peleg's name

246
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.350
unto evil were born two sons the name of

247
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.190
one was peleg for in his days was the

248
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.509
earth divided and his brother's name was

249
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.269
jochen then we read it in genesis 11

250
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.829
what caused the division of the earth

251
00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:04.550
well we just spoke of that didn't we

252
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:06.310
and i believe that it

253
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.710
it was the effects of the tower of babel

254
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.630
that god divided

255
00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.470
their tongues first of all and broke

256
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.190
down that communication

257
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.269
that he said

258
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.509
was going to be a means whereby they

259
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.750
could do anything

260
00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:23.350
and so there's really nothing surprising

261
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.190
in this world today is it

262
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.350
all the technological advances of the

263
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.509
world we have seen and seen them go to

264
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.710
the moon contemplating space stations

265
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.230
all of these things that we couldn't

266
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.790
even begin to list they have done with a

267
00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:38.790
common communication

268
00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:41.509
mathematics

269
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:42.790
not to mention

270
00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.829
the learning of multiples of

271
00:10:44.839 --> 00:10:47.509
languages to help them in their

272
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.389
endeavors to build higher and higher

273
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.350
higher

274
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.670
their technological tower of babel that

275
00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:55.110
is going to come down

276
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.590
very soon and we can rejoice in the fact

277
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.550
that god is going to build his

278
00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:02.069
habitation upon the ruins of this so

279
00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:04.710
what are we doing building

280
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.110
in the tower of babel

281
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.630
well we're not that's why we're here

282
00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:11.190
isn't it we're building in the tent of

283
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.310
shannon

284
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.470
we're building a habitation

285
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.470
for the spirit

286
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.710
we're preparing a habitation as we read

287
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.829
yesterday in exodus 15.

288
00:11:21.839 --> 00:11:24.150
but another point on this if you return

289
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:25.110
with me

290
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.269
to deuteronomy chapter 32 i'd like to

291
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.790
show you an interesting point i hope you

292
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:32.949
find it as interesting as i did

293
00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:39.110
this glorious song of moses

294
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.630
and he says in verse one give hero ye

295
00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:42.630
heavens and i will speak and hear o

296
00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:45.910
earth the words of my mouth

297
00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:48.710
my doctrine shall drop as the rain

298
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.230
my speech

299
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.870
shall distill as the dew

300
00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:55.110
as the small rain upon the tender herb

301
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.110
and as the showers upon the grass and

302
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.110
that verse brothers and sisters is

303
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.790
pregnant with meaning

304
00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:02.310
of the saints

305
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.670
coming down

306
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:06.550
as rain upon the freshly mowned grass as

307
00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:09.030
we read in psalm 72

308
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:11.030
and we think about that glorious day

309
00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:12.710
that dew will not be seen except for the

310
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.230
sun's rising in the morning from the

311
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.509
east

312
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.350
and then we shall shine in the glory of

313
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.629
the kingdom of our father

314
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.870
but i'd like to show you verse

315
00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:28.150
put in at verse 7 if you would

316
00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:29.990
moses says

317
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.190
remember the days of old

318
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.150
consider the years of many generations

319
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:39.829
ask who ask your father

320
00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:41.910
and he will show thee

321
00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:46.870
thy elders and they will tell thee

322
00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:48.949
you know young people we can do that

323
00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:50.310
right

324
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.509
we can ask our fathers of the ecclesia

325
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.750
and the elders of the ecclesia and

326
00:12:55.760 --> 00:12:59.670
they'll tell us

327
00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:05.269
and i say that with mixed emotions

328
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.069
but we're starting anew

329
00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:10.629
we're rededicating

330
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:17.190
elders and fathers of israel

331
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.829
when the most high

332
00:13:19.839 --> 00:13:21.670
take note of this verse

333
00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.910
when the most high

334
00:13:23.920 --> 00:13:27.110
divided to the nations their inheritance

335
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.190
when he separated the sons of adam he

336
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.790
set the bounds of the people according

337
00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:33.110
to the number of the children of israel

338
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.870
the children of israel didn't even exist

339
00:13:34.880 --> 00:13:38.069
in that day

340
00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:40.470
you remember we just read it eber named

341
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.069
his son peleg

342
00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:44.230
because

343
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.150
the most high divided to the nations

344
00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:47.990
their inheritance

345
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.189
and he separated the sons of adam

346
00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:53.189
and he set the bounds of the people

347
00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:54.470
according to the number of the children

348
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.910
of israel

349
00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:58.069
he was establishing the pattern by which

350
00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:01.110
he would build this glorious earth into

351
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.389
a habitation

352
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.189
and why do nations go so far in their

353
00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:07.430
boundaries and they can war and they can

354
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.990
fight as napoleon fought into europe and

355
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.470
he conquered all of the catholic nations

356
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.230
but when he went outside the bounds of

357
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.150
europe what happened he was defeated god

358
00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:18.470
said that's far enough napoleon

359
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.150
you're not going any further

360
00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:23.030
my angelic hand of providence is

361
00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:25.509
overruling your strongest desires to

362
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.310
conquer the world

363
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.350
that's far enough

364
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.590
the united states you'll only go as far

365
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.509
as the rio grande and that's it

366
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.430
and the border of canada

367
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.790
he knew all the bounds of their

368
00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:43.350
habitations

369
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.110
according to the number of the children

370
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.910
of israel the children of israel

371
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:51.269
they were the determining factor

372
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.069
they were the blueprint as it were

373
00:14:54.079 --> 00:14:55.430
the specs

374
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:56.870
as far as

375
00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:58.389
the nations would go

376
00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:59.829
but those nations were going to develop

377
00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:02.069
to the fullest and their fighting

378
00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:03.030
efforts

379
00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:06.069
and their politics and all of their vain

380
00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:08.389
repetitious programs and institutions

381
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.710
that's as far as they'd go

382
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.870
because god is overruling all things in

383
00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:15.110
the nations and we don't get involved in

384
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.269
any of that we've got more glorious and

385
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.509
precious things to keep our mind busy

386
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.670
with

387
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:24.829
for yahweh's portion is his

388
00:15:24.839 --> 00:15:27.990
people jacob is the lot of his

389
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.230
inheritance and knows your margin jacob

390
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.269
is the lot the cord by which anything is

391
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.870
measured

392
00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:36.790
a portion of and it's measured with the

393
00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:38.550
cord

394
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:40.470
and you stake it in as you would real

395
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:41.590
estate

396
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.430
there's a certain point of triangulation

397
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.590
and surveying that becomes the point

398
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.470
from which all movements are taken

399
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:51.590
and you know what that point of

400
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.870
triangulation is in our life

401
00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:56.230
and brother dennis gillett brought this

402
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.990
out at a bible school at northwood and

403
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.949
i've never forgotten it when they drove

404
00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:03.430
in that stake

405
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.110
at golgotha

406
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.189
we govern our lives by that

407
00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:12.069
sacrifice of our lord

408
00:16:12.079 --> 00:16:14.150
that's our point of triangulation from

409
00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:16.069
whence all our lives are measured and

410
00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:17.670
all of our dealings with one another

411
00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:18.629
should be

412
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.389
governed god governed people israel

413
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.269
not jacob the supplanter

414
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.269
israel god

415
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.430
governed by his principles not the

416
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.990
principles of the ruler of this earth

417
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.670
verse 10 he found him in a desert land

418
00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:38.949
and in the waste howling wilderness

419
00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:42.310
he led him he compassed him about he

420
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.389
instructed him he kept him as the apple

421
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.870
of his eye as an eagle stir us up her

422
00:16:46.880 --> 00:16:49.030
nest fluttereth over her young spread of

423
00:16:49.040 --> 00:16:50.629
the broader wings taketh them and

424
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.189
beareth them on her wings

425
00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:55.110
so yahweh alone

426
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.990
did lead him and there was no strange

427
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.670
god with him

428
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:03.189
and he goes on through the song of moses

429
00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:07.189
in an absolutely beautiful fashion

430
00:17:07.199 --> 00:17:09.110
but brothers and sisters we know the

431
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:10.390
conditions

432
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.949
of israel in egypt

433
00:17:12.959 --> 00:17:14.470
and truly

434
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.750
it was

435
00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:18.549
a deplorable condition

436
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.350
and if you would turn with me to exodus

437
00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.150
that

438
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.590
beginning

439
00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:36.710
exodus chapter 3.

440
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.029
and that great theophany

441
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.710
of the spirit to moses

442
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.430
that because he was in the presence

443
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.630
of the living god of all the universe

444
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.870
rather the representative that angel who

445
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.789
was the representative

446
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.230
of yahweh

447
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.750
the father

448
00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:57.110
of glory

449
00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:59.430
that in create majesty and power of all

450
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.390
the universe

451
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.190
that governs all things

452
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.029
according to the attributes of his

453
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:06.150
character

454
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.190
which are

455
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.750
interpenetrated into the very atoms that

456
00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:14.070
make up matter of which were all made

457
00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:15.669
shouldn't we obey his laws than the

458
00:18:15.679 --> 00:18:18.230
moral force of his word why because

459
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.909
we're made up

460
00:18:19.919 --> 00:18:22.070
of his spirit in him we live and move

461
00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:23.830
and have our being paul said that to

462
00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:28.950
gentiles who didn't even know him

463
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.510
why should we obey his laws

464
00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:34.230
why should we love his law

465
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.150
why should we speak of the things of god

466
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.510
in the morning when we rise up

467
00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:41.029
and throughout the day and speak of them

468
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.350
to our children

469
00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:45.350
why

470
00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:49.350
oh i hope we understand why

471
00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:51.270
we're going to be his habitation

472
00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:53.350
and we want to be built

473
00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:55.270
in such a manner that when he shaketh

474
00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:57.909
all things that can be shaken

475
00:18:57.919 --> 00:19:01.350
we aren't

476
00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:03.909
but we are planted firmly

477
00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:06.950
firmly

478
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.350
and matter-of-factly

479
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:12.950
yahweh said i have surely seen the

480
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:14.470
affliction of my people which are in

481
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.870
egypt verse 7 and have heard their cry

482
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.110
by reason of their task masters

483
00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:23.029
for i know their sorrows

484
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.470
i have heard sorrows i have felt sorrows

485
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.150
we have all felt sorrows and we know

486
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.990
sorrow

487
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.310
but not like our lord

488
00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:37.029
and yahweh saw he knew their sorrows in

489
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.510
egypt and they cried out to him under

490
00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:46.789
the oppression of the pharaoh's whip

491
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.990
but what was his purpose

492
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.150
down in verse 12 and he said

493
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.950
certainly i will be with thee moses

494
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:58.630
and this shall be a token unto thee that

495
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.230
i have sent thee

496
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.149
you didn't go on your own i have sent

497
00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:03.350
thee

498
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.430
when thou has brought forth the people

499
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.470
out of egypt ye shall serve god upon

500
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.390
this mountain

501
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.870
oh what a purpose brothers and sisters

502
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.630
there's not a higher purpose there

503
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.390
wasn't in that day and there is not

504
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.190
today

505
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.070
yahweh brought israel out of egypt

506
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:29.990
not to save them

507
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.190
you know what's coming next don't you

508
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.070
you thomas sites

509
00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:37.909
man wasn't ushered into being for the

510
00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:40.950
purpose of being saved or lost

511
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.990
god manifestation not human salvation is

512
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.830
the purpose

513
00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:47.430
of the eternal spirit and we wonder why

514
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.270
our children are shaking

515
00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:53.750
and bending and falling

516
00:20:53.760 --> 00:20:55.029
well we know why the kids in the world

517
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.590
do it we know why they blow their brains

518
00:20:57.600 --> 00:20:58.390
out

519
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.149
either quickly

520
00:21:00.159 --> 00:21:02.789
or slowly we know why

521
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.630
no purpose

522
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.390
none

523
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.190
hasn't been established in their minds

524
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.029
there's no power

525
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.070
to save them from their selves

526
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:16.710
which they are constantly opposing

527
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.669
by their nature

528
00:21:19.679 --> 00:21:23.270
we know why the children in the world

529
00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:26.149
do it

530
00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:27.669
but we have been called out of egypt to

531
00:21:27.679 --> 00:21:29.350
serve

532
00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:31.750
upon this mountain

533
00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:32.950
the mountain

534
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.630
of god's kingdom and we must live by

535
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.070
those principles that are going to

536
00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:42.070
govern the kingdom of god

537
00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:43.669
moses had to go back to egypt he didn't

538
00:21:43.679 --> 00:21:45.190
want to go back to egypt

539
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.789
he resisted to the point to where the

540
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:49.669
angel of god was just accept

541
00:21:49.679 --> 00:21:51.350
moses

542
00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:53.430
i know

543
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.149
that thy brother aaron the levite can

544
00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:58.230
speak well

545
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:02.310
i can't speak moses said i can speak

546
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:05.430
and truly many of us

547
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:09.750
can understand that

548
00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:11.909
but i know yahweh said that thy brother

549
00:22:11.919 --> 00:22:16.310
aaron can speak well he was a spokesman

550
00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:19.350
he had experience in that

551
00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:21.029
and yahweh told him thy brother aaron

552
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.789
comes to meet thee

553
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.590
and he'll rejoice when he sees you

554
00:22:27.600 --> 00:22:30.149
in verse 27 of chapter four yahweh said

555
00:22:30.159 --> 00:22:31.669
to aaron go into the wilderness to meet

556
00:22:31.679 --> 00:22:33.110
moses and he went and met him in the

557
00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:35.430
mount of god and kissed him moses told

558
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.110
aaron all the words of yahweh who had

559
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:39.190
sent him and all the signs which he had

560
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.630
commanded them

561
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.310
and you know they were to go back to

562
00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.270
pharaoh

563
00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:45.510
walk right into the court of pharaoh

564
00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:47.830
here's a man that was a rebel 40 years

565
00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:49.350
earlier moses

566
00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:51.430
he was

567
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.070
found killing the egyptians

568
00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:56.470
which in those days was probably capital

569
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.230
punishment

570
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.149
just as it was in the days of paul

571
00:23:00.159 --> 00:23:01.750
or scourging a roman or killing a roman

572
00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:03.430
citizen

573
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.870
but moses left

574
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.029
and he went into yahweh's school moses

575
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.270
had the finest training

576
00:23:09.280 --> 00:23:11.110
that egypt the greatest civilization at

577
00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:14.310
that time could offer

578
00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:16.070
the finest education

579
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:18.470
in the things of egypt

580
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.029
to serve in pharaoh's house right

581
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.029
yes and moses thought i'm surely the

582
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.110
deliverer i can see the oppression of my

583
00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:29.590
people and i must get them out of egypt

584
00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:31.430
i have risen to the top of the political

585
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.029
arena

586
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.390
and i know my purpose i know my calling

587
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.269
the first egyptian he slew with his own

588
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:43.029
hand

589
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:44.390
lost his place

590
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.110
in pharaoh's house

591
00:23:47.120 --> 00:23:49.750
and he fled into midian

592
00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:51.669
and he went to yahweh school in the

593
00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:53.110
wilderness which is where each and every

594
00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:54.310
one of us

595
00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:57.269
each and every one of us must get to the

596
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.590
wilderness

597
00:23:59.600 --> 00:24:02.310
to really understand

598
00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:04.310
to get away from all of the things of

599
00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:06.310
the world

600
00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:09.110
and to let the voice

601
00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:12.390
of the word of god speak to our heart

602
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.350
not just get it up here academically

603
00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:16.789
with all those wonderful instruments

604
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:19.350
that enable us to

605
00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:21.909
study the word of god which are valuable

606
00:24:21.919 --> 00:24:23.830
and i don't mean to devalue them in any

607
00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:25.190
way

608
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.390
but the word of god will speak to us if

609
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:32.070
we prayerfully ask him for the wisdom

610
00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:35.990
that solomon asked for to govern this so

611
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.110
great thy people

612
00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:44.830
and i ain't but a

613
00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:47.830
child exodus chapter one you're all

614
00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:49.669
familiar with that oppression

615
00:24:49.679 --> 00:24:53.750
all but those hebrew midwives

616
00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:55.750
look what they did the pharaoh said kill

617
00:24:55.760 --> 00:24:59.669
them the firstborn of every son kill him

618
00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:04.870
he said every child didn't he

619
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.549
in verse 16 when you do the office of a

620
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.230
midwife to the hebrew women and see them

621
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:10.230
upon the stools if it be a son then he

622
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.549
shall kill him every son

623
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:14.789
but be a daughter then she shall live

624
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:16.390
he was going to that was the first

625
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:19.269
launching of the first anti-semitic

626
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.510
massacre as it were

627
00:25:21.520 --> 00:25:23.750
and egypt was determined

628
00:25:23.760 --> 00:25:25.990
to crush out

629
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.390
not just israel but you know what else

630
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.870
the hope of israel

631
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.789
emphasis israel

632
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.789
they were out to he was out to crush it

633
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.789
out because the seed of the woman was

634
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.510
coming through them

635
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:43.830
the sea the blessed promised seed that

636
00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:45.750
was going to be the deliverer

637
00:25:45.760 --> 00:25:47.510
and the crusher

638
00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:50.230
of the dragon the crusher of the serpent

639
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.149
he was going to come through them those

640
00:25:52.159 --> 00:25:53.990
hebrew midwives they knew their

641
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.110
scripture

642
00:25:55.120 --> 00:25:58.870
though it hadn't been written

643
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.190
by the word that had been passed down by

644
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.669
the elders and by the fathers and by

645
00:26:03.679 --> 00:26:07.110
those glorious mothers of israel nursing

646
00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:08.230
mothers

647
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.630
like jochebed

648
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:13.669
who protected moses

649
00:26:13.679 --> 00:26:15.750
how she got so close

650
00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:17.510
to pharaoh's house

651
00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:19.350
knowing exactly where pharaoh's daughter

652
00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:22.710
was coming to the river's brink

653
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.390
i personally believe and it's my opinion

654
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.870
but that was an offensive move not a

655
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.029
defense to protect her baby

656
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:29.909
which is

657
00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:32.149
a natural reaction right mothers and

658
00:26:32.159 --> 00:26:33.830
fathers it's a natural reaction to

659
00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:35.990
protect our children and a perfectly

660
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.510
good one that's in bread into human

661
00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:39.750
nature and animal nature but it's

662
00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:40.870
instinctive

663
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.950
to protect that which reflects us to

664
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:46.149
continue our seed in our name and our

665
00:26:46.159 --> 00:26:48.070
image and our likeness and make sure

666
00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:49.590
that they have the very best and the

667
00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:51.750
very greatest of comfort and all that

668
00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:53.510
money can buy to protect them so that

669
00:26:53.520 --> 00:27:05.510
they can continue our household right

670
00:27:05.520 --> 00:27:07.590
verse 20 god dealt well with midwives

671
00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:09.190
and the people multiplied and wax very

672
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.430
mighty why did he deal

673
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.310
well with the midwives and made them

674
00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:17.909
houses which is in reference to israel

675
00:27:17.919 --> 00:27:21.190
because verse 17 says the cause now is

676
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.029
they feared god

677
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.350
and did not as the king of egypt

678
00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:27.990
commanded them but saved the men

679
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:29.669
children alive

680
00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:31.590
and jacob did the same thing these

681
00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:33.750
hebrew midwives would have a wonderful

682
00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:35.990
occupation later on at the foot of mount

683
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.990
sinai when they had been brought out

684
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.190
through that glorious national baptism

685
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:43.669
and their fingers

686
00:27:43.679 --> 00:27:46.070
and their thoughts and their skills

687
00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:49.750
would weave and spin that glorious

688
00:27:49.760 --> 00:27:51.750
work of righteousness in the linen

689
00:27:51.760 --> 00:27:54.070
curtains and fence oh they had a

690
00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:56.070
wonderful opportunity ahead of them and

691
00:27:56.080 --> 00:27:57.430
they were going to take full advantage

692
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.789
of it

693
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:03.350
the taskmasters in verse 11

694
00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:05.909
there was a dealing wisely by pharaoh

695
00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:07.669
subtly

696
00:28:07.679 --> 00:28:09.590
subtly

697
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:11.590
lest they multiply and it come to pass i

698
00:28:11.600 --> 00:28:12.950
realize i'm jumping around you'll

699
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.430
forgive me for that

700
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.029
but pharaoh

701
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.510
put task masters over them

702
00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:21.350
and oppressed them with hard bondage and

703
00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:23.590
who were the task masters

704
00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:25.190
well if we turn

705
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.389
over

706
00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:28.310
to the point of where moses and aaron

707
00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:30.630
have come into the land and and

708
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.549
addressed the elders of israel in

709
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.710
chapter four the last verses in chapter

710
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:37.029
five moses and aaron have now gone in

711
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.870
and told pharaoh the ultimatum

712
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.669
thus saith yahweh elohim of israel let

713
00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:45.669
my people go that they may hold a feast

714
00:28:45.679 --> 00:28:49.750
unto me in the wilderness

715
00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:52.470
yahweh that i should obey his voice to

716
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.070
let israel go

717
00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:59.190
just like king's sin

718
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.470
in romans chapter 6

719
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.149
paul exhorts us

720
00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:06.630
not to render our members

721
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.269
unto the servitude of king's sin

722
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.510
but to render our members unto

723
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:17.110
righteousness unto the father

724
00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:18.549
but verse 3

725
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.029
and they said the elohim of the hebrews

726
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.830
hath met with us let us go we pray thee

727
00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:25.510
three days journey into the desert and

728
00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:27.909
sacrifice into yahweh our elohim lest he

729
00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:30.549
fall upon us with pestilence or

730
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.269
with the sword the flame and the sword

731
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:34.230
again

732
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.870
and the mind of moses the mind of aaron

733
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.789
as he spoke to pharaoh

734
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:41.590
aaron had some

735
00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:43.269
royal

736
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.630
palatial etiquette so to speak

737
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.950
he knew the mannerisms

738
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.190
of the white house

739
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.710
and approaching

740
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.350
the leader of the greatest civilization

741
00:29:55.360 --> 00:29:57.430
at that time pharaoh he understood the

742
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:59.110
etiquette how

743
00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:01.990
how did aaron understand that

744
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:03.669
turn with me to second samuel we just

745
00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:05.830
read it in our readings recently

746
00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:10.470
you'll recall

747
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:13.590
remember aaron was moses brother

748
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:18.950
who moses jochebed hid

749
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:30.710
at the drink

750
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.710
i'm sorry i told you second samuel it's

751
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.909
actually first samuel

752
00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:39.430
you'll find that my tongue will get

753
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:41.510
ahead of my head a number of times and i

754
00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:44.230
hope you'll pardon me for that

755
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:45.990
first samuel

756
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:47.430
chapter 2

757
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:50.310
we know the condition of eli and perhaps

758
00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:52.230
god willing we will touch upon eli and

759
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.789
his sons as we discuss

760
00:30:54.799 --> 00:31:00.070
the material of brass

761
00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:02.549
chapter 2

762
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.549
and verse 27

763
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:05.909
samuel

764
00:31:05.919 --> 00:31:07.029
i'm sorry

765
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:10.149
there came a man of elohim unto eli and

766
00:31:10.159 --> 00:31:13.110
said unto him thus saith yahweh

767
00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:15.350
did i plainly appear unto the house of

768
00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:16.710
thy father

769
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.990
when they were in egypt that's really

770
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.750
adequate he could have stopped there

771
00:31:23.760 --> 00:31:25.990
but he doesn't

772
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.430
and notice what he says

773
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.830
in pharaoh's house

774
00:31:33.840 --> 00:31:36.310
well we know who eli's father was

775
00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:38.070
it was aaron

776
00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:39.509
his sons

777
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.750
who were the priests who had elect

778
00:31:41.760 --> 00:31:43.269
by yahweh's hand

779
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:47.350
but brethren i ask you what were they

780
00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:50.389
doing in pharaoh's house

781
00:31:50.399 --> 00:31:52.549
and you looked that up in a concordance

782
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.909
and it's not used very often

783
00:31:55.919 --> 00:31:59.110
israel was in the house of bondage

784
00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:01.350
from which they were brought out to

785
00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:05.110
serve yahweh to be a holy priesthood a

786
00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:06.549
nation

787
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:10.630
a kingdom of priest

788
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:12.549
but what were they doing in pharaoh's

789
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.430
house and there's a lot of indications

790
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.750
that they were closer

791
00:32:17.760 --> 00:32:20.470
in serving pharaoh

792
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.590
than what we might first

793
00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:26.070
imagine

794
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:28.070
why did the people congregate and grab

795
00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:30.470
aaron and say you make us gods to lead

796
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.310
us back into egypt

797
00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:34.630
you know what we want you know exactly

798
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.710
how to engrave that gold let's turn to

799
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:45.190
that could you exodus 32.

800
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.190
verse one when the people saw that moses

801
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.310
delay to come down out of the mount

802
00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:53.830
oh you know what's so beautiful i have

803
00:32:53.840 --> 00:32:55.350
found about scripture

804
00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:57.029
you read it

805
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.669
and you do more than read it

806
00:32:59.679 --> 00:33:03.190
it speaks volumes to you

807
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.149
when he comes down out of the mount

808
00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:09.350
he's going to return to his people

809
00:33:09.360 --> 00:33:11.669
the beauty the dimension the depth of

810
00:33:11.679 --> 00:33:14.470
this eternal word when you read a few

811
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.389
words on a page

812
00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:20.389
it says volumes to us

813
00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:22.870
and that's the glory and the power of

814
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.190
the spirit word

815
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.990
that your mind races from genesis to the

816
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.149
apocalypse and you search

817
00:33:30.159 --> 00:33:32.470
just by meditation chewing the cut of

818
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:34.070
the clean animals

819
00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:36.149
and walking carefully

820
00:33:36.159 --> 00:33:39.350
with the cloven imparted hoof but

821
00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:40.870
there's another problem you get off on

822
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.710
tangents

823
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.149
but when they saw that moses delayed to

824
00:33:46.159 --> 00:33:47.590
come down out of the mouth the people

825
00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:49.909
gather themselves together oh there's a

826
00:33:49.919 --> 00:33:51.750
gathering there's an ecclesia there's an

827
00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:54.470
assembly of the congregation wonderful

828
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.070
maybe not

829
00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:58.310
they said to aaron up make us gods we

830
00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:01.190
shall go before us whereas this moses

831
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.389
the man that brought us up out of the

832
00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:03.990
land of egypt

833
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.830
oh they think a man brought them out of

834
00:34:05.840 --> 00:34:08.470
the land of egypt first indication that

835
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.669
their spiritual thinking is off kilter

836
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:13.430
we want not what has become of him we

837
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.190
don't know what happened to moses

838
00:34:15.200 --> 00:34:17.430
aaron said unto them well break off the

839
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.030
golden earrings which are in the ears of

840
00:34:19.040 --> 00:34:20.710
your wives of your sons and of your

841
00:34:20.720 --> 00:34:23.109
daughters and bring them unto me and all

842
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.710
the people break off the golden earrings

843
00:34:24.720 --> 00:34:26.069
which were in their ears and brought

844
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:27.190
them unto air and where they get those

845
00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:29.669
golden earrings brothers and sisters

846
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:32.470
the spoils of egypt

847
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:34.389
and yahweh had told

848
00:34:34.399 --> 00:34:37.909
moses and aaron that you will spoil

849
00:34:37.919 --> 00:34:40.550
the egyptians yeah he told him that

850
00:34:40.560 --> 00:34:42.389
but you know he told someone else that

851
00:34:42.399 --> 00:34:43.990
keep your hand here we'll be right back

852
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.909
okay you would please turn to genesis

853
00:34:45.919 --> 00:34:51.190
chapter 15.

854
00:34:51.200 --> 00:34:53.349
all the glorious promise of abraham the

855
00:34:53.359 --> 00:34:55.430
father of this nation that is now under

856
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.589
the rule of pharaoh about to be brought

857
00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:59.589
out brought out in the most glorious

858
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:03.430
exodus

859
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:05.990
chapter 15

860
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:07.990
we'll put in at verse 13 for lack of

861
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.150
time but the context is the covenant

862
00:35:10.160 --> 00:35:12.710
that god made with abraham

863
00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:14.710
where he parted the beast

864
00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:16.870
and he virtually set out the blueprint

865
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.589
for the sacrificial system of rituals

866
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.349
under the law under the levitical law

867
00:35:21.359 --> 00:35:22.710
right here

868
00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:24.390
in the covenant with abraham and he

869
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.150
promised him concerning his seed as he

870
00:35:26.160 --> 00:35:28.870
fell into a deep sleep in verse 12. he

871
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.990
said unto abram no of assurity that thy

872
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.870
seed shall be a stranger in a land that

873
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:39.510
is not theirs and shall serve them

874
00:35:39.520 --> 00:35:41.430
and they shall afflict them

875
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.430
four hundred years and also that nation

876
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:46.630
whom they shall serve will i judge and

877
00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:48.150
afterwards shall they come out with

878
00:35:48.160 --> 00:35:49.750
great substance

879
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:51.750
it was owed to them there was no

880
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:54.150
borrowing as the av renders it

881
00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:56.470
it was owed to israel

882
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.589
and the egyptians heaped it upon them

883
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.950
and that's why they saved

884
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:04.870
the egyptians

885
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.310
that's what saved the egyptians

886
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.390
was that substance that the egyptians

887
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:14.390
heaped upon them as they left egypt that

888
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.950
horrible night of passover when all the

889
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:18.310
firstborn

890
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.390
of every egyptian family and every

891
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.109
hebrew family that refused to believe

892
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.910
in the life power of that blood which

893
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.829
was but a token

894
00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:29.589
on the doorpost

895
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.430
of their home

896
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.510
they didn't believe god

897
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:34.790
it was a simple

898
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.829
simple

899
00:36:38.839 --> 00:36:41.750
matter but they would come out of egypt

900
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:44.069
and they wouldn't serve

901
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.550
egypt any longer

902
00:36:46.560 --> 00:36:48.150
because now they were god's people and

903
00:36:48.160 --> 00:36:50.550
he was bringing them to his mount

904
00:36:50.560 --> 00:36:52.630
to establish them first of all in the

905
00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:55.030
holy principles before he took them into

906
00:36:55.040 --> 00:36:56.550
the promised land that he had promised

907
00:36:56.560 --> 00:36:59.670
abraham

908
00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:03.589
he had to get egypt out of israel

909
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:05.829
and that was a tremendous job much

910
00:37:05.839 --> 00:37:07.030
harder

911
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:09.349
than getting israel out of egypt

912
00:37:09.359 --> 00:37:10.870
and brothers and sisters we fall into

913
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:12.790
the same situation because stephen tells

914
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:14.470
us in acts

915
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.230
chapter 7 that

916
00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:17.670
the children in the wilderness were but

917
00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:19.750
the ecclesia

918
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:21.589
in the wilderness

919
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.349
and we are truly in a wilderness

920
00:37:25.359 --> 00:37:26.950
and brothers and sisters back to exodus

921
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:30.230
32.

922
00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:32.550
do i have five minutes

923
00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:34.829
i guess i do al do i have five

924
00:37:34.839 --> 00:37:37.990
minutes that's my greatest enemy

925
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.230
time

926
00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:45.030
but chapter 32 the earrings the golden

927
00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:46.150
earrings

928
00:37:46.160 --> 00:37:48.390
those golden earrings and we're going to

929
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:51.670
see the metal of gold as being symbolic

930
00:37:51.680 --> 00:37:54.550
a token of what you're all familiar with

931
00:37:54.560 --> 00:37:56.150
that

932
00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:57.910
in first peter

933
00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.990
keep your hand in exodus 32 we're going

934
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.750
to run i'll use up all your fingers but

935
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:12.950
turn to first peter if you would please

936
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.349
first peter chapter 1

937
00:38:17.359 --> 00:38:18.710
and verse

938
00:38:18.720 --> 00:38:21.190
putting in at verse

939
00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:23.589
4.

940
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:25.190
could we go back to three

941
00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:26.710
blessed be the god and father of our

942
00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:28.310
lord jesus christ

943
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.390
which according to his abundant mercy

944
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.550
hath begotten us again

945
00:38:32.560 --> 00:38:34.550
unto a lively hope

946
00:38:34.560 --> 00:38:36.390
by the resurrection of jesus christ from

947
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:37.349
the dead

948
00:38:37.359 --> 00:38:39.030
he's begotten us as we mentioned

949
00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:41.190
yesterday in the exhortation by the

950
00:38:41.200 --> 00:38:43.670
incorruptible power of the sea the word

951
00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:45.030
of god

952
00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:47.670
and he goes on to say to an inheritance

953
00:38:47.680 --> 00:38:50.790
incorruptible and undefiled and that

954
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.510
fadeth not away reserved in heaven for

955
00:38:53.520 --> 00:38:54.470
you

956
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.910
who are kept

957
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.950
by the power of god which paul says in

958
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:00.550
romans chapter 1

959
00:39:00.560 --> 00:39:04.230
the gospel of salvation is the power the

960
00:39:04.240 --> 00:39:05.270
dunamis

961
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.870
the dynamite in our life

962
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.349
to everyone that believeth

963
00:39:11.359 --> 00:39:12.710
first to the jew

964
00:39:12.720 --> 00:39:16.069
and to the gentile he goes on to read

965
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:17.430
through faith

966
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.430
unto salvation

967
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.310
ready to be revealed

968
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.950
in the last time

969
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:26.950
and we brothers and sisters are in the

970
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.190
last time

971
00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:31.670
and it's about to be the apocalypse the

972
00:39:31.680 --> 00:39:33.270
unveiling

973
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:37.750
of that most holy place

974
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.870
and we must be a part of that most holy

975
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:44.710
place

976
00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:47.109
which represents heaven itself where our

977
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.030
lord resides at the right hand of the

978
00:39:49.040 --> 00:39:50.630
greatest power

979
00:39:50.640 --> 00:39:52.790
in all of the universe

980
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.790
interceding on our behalf as our

981
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.990
representative

982
00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:59.670
wherein peter goes on to say in verse

983
00:39:59.680 --> 00:40:02.790
six you greatly rejoice though now for a

984
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:06.230
season if need be ye are in heaviness

985
00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:09.270
through manifold temptations and trials

986
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.589
tribulation by which all of us must

987
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:14.230
enter the kingdom of heaven

988
00:40:14.240 --> 00:40:16.790
and we know that moses said in numbers

989
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.630
that that which passes through the fire

990
00:40:18.640 --> 00:40:20.950
and pass doesn't withstand the trial of

991
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:21.990
the fire

992
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.510
the medals the materials that you

993
00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:25.349
brought out of egypt that it that it

994
00:40:25.359 --> 00:40:26.870
must pass through the waters of

995
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:30.309
separation

996
00:40:30.319 --> 00:40:33.270
and he goes on to say if need be

997
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.109
ye are in heaviness through manifold

998
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:37.349
temptations verse 7 that the trial of

999
00:40:37.359 --> 00:40:38.470
your faith

1000
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:40.470
being much more precious than of gold

1001
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:41.990
that perisheth

1002
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.069
though it be tried with fire might be

1003
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.589
found unto praise and honor and glory at

1004
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:50.630
the appearing of jesus christ

1005
00:40:50.640 --> 00:40:52.630
much more precious than of gold that

1006
00:40:52.640 --> 00:40:54.150
perisheth

1007
00:40:54.160 --> 00:40:56.390
where are our values brothers and

1008
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:58.150
sisters

1009
00:40:58.160 --> 00:41:00.950
we have come to the school because our

1010
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.030
values all of us

1011
00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:05.829
tend earthward

1012
00:41:05.839 --> 00:41:09.750
tend to slide decline

1013
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.030
into what men think is the standard of

1014
00:41:13.040 --> 00:41:15.030
success

1015
00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:16.710
and that's this

1016
00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:18.470
and we know

1017
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.390
how many snares the righteous have

1018
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.069
fallen into throughout the history of

1019
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:26.550
israel because of that money

1020
00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:28.790
but we've got a higher standard

1021
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.150
we're going to see that glorious

1022
00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:31.109
standard

1023
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:34.870
standard of faith tried

1024
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.430
in the fiery furnace

1025
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:39.829
that yahweh told israel in deuteronomy

1026
00:41:39.839 --> 00:41:41.670
chapter 4

1027
00:41:41.680 --> 00:41:43.750
i've brought you out of the fiery

1028
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:44.710
furnace

1029
00:41:44.720 --> 00:41:45.910
furnace but

1030
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:47.829
i'm going to mold you and shape you by

1031
00:41:47.839 --> 00:41:49.829
the fire of trials

1032
00:41:49.839 --> 00:41:51.589
within my hands and you'll be my

1033
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:53.990
handiwork

1034
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.470
turn to first corinthians

1035
00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:03.109
uh you can let go of exodus 32.

1036
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:04.710
we have time

1037
00:42:04.720 --> 00:42:08.069
for just

1038
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:11.190
a key verse first corinthians as paul

1039
00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:14.150
addressed this ecclesia in corinth

1040
00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:16.870
they had their problems but if you put

1041
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.950
in with me in verse 9

1042
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:21.670
for we he tells them our laborers

1043
00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:25.349
together with god

1044
00:42:25.359 --> 00:42:27.990
and you are god's

1045
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.950
husbandry

1046
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:31.990
ye

1047
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.190
are god's

1048
00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:35.670
building according to the grace of god

1049
00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:37.670
which is given unto me as a wise master

1050
00:42:37.680 --> 00:42:39.750
builder i have laid the foundation and

1051
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.829
another buildeth thereon

1052
00:42:41.839 --> 00:42:44.950
but let every man take heed

1053
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:47.589
how he buildeth thereon

1054
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:50.150
for other foundation can no man lay than

1055
00:42:50.160 --> 00:42:54.390
that is laid which is jesus christ

1056
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:55.910
now if any man build upon this

1057
00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:57.910
foundation gold silver precious stones

1058
00:42:57.920 --> 00:42:59.510
wood hay stubble

1059
00:42:59.520 --> 00:43:01.589
every man's work should be made manifest

1060
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:03.190
for the day shall declare it because it

1061
00:43:03.200 --> 00:43:06.230
shall be revealed by fire and the fire

1062
00:43:06.240 --> 00:43:08.150
shall try every man's work of what sort

1063
00:43:08.160 --> 00:43:09.270
it is

1064
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.270
if any man's work abide which he has

1065
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:13.349
built thereupon he shall receive a

1066
00:43:13.359 --> 00:43:14.470
reward

1067
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.150
if any man's work shall be burned he

1068
00:43:16.160 --> 00:43:18.550
shall suffer loss but he himself

1069
00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:21.510
shall be saved yet so is by fire

1070
00:43:21.520 --> 00:43:23.349
we just heard about fire

1071
00:43:23.359 --> 00:43:24.950
the judgment is going to be a fiery

1072
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:27.430
thing it's going to consume us in our

1073
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.670
conscience and if our conscience has not

1074
00:43:29.680 --> 00:43:32.550
been elevated by this continual reading

1075
00:43:32.560 --> 00:43:34.790
and studying and discussion of the word

1076
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.270
of god and our conscience is not

1077
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:41.030
co-conscious with god

1078
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:43.510
there won't be anything to say

1079
00:43:43.520 --> 00:43:45.750
nothing

1080
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.309
there's got to be something there

1081
00:43:48.319 --> 00:43:49.670
you know the children of israel were

1082
00:43:49.680 --> 00:43:53.510
oppressed by their task masters at first

1083
00:43:53.520 --> 00:43:54.390
they had

1084
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.630
straw to make the bricks of which they

1085
00:43:56.640 --> 00:43:57.990
were building what

1086
00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:59.589
they were building treasure cities for

1087
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.550
pharaoh ramses and pithom

1088
00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:04.710
treasure cities

1089
00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:07.190
by which pharaoh would supply his slaves

1090
00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:10.150
to continue to build a civilization that

1091
00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:13.190
whose basis was entirely based upon the

1092
00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:16.550
principles of sin and death and

1093
00:44:16.560 --> 00:44:19.829
pyramidal tombs preparing for that death

1094
00:44:19.839 --> 00:44:22.710
as we prepare for what the kingdom of

1095
00:44:22.720 --> 00:44:25.349
god or our perhaps

1096
00:44:25.359 --> 00:44:27.510
retirement

1097
00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:28.950
and i believe our brethren will speak to

1098
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.390
that to us on that subject as well

1099
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:33.910
but you know what the children of israel

1100
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:36.550
were reduced to and i'm not saying that

1101
00:44:36.560 --> 00:44:39.030
retirement is wrong i do not want to be

1102
00:44:39.040 --> 00:44:40.710
understood

1103
00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:42.710
i don't look forward to it myself but

1104
00:44:42.720 --> 00:44:45.349
you know good and well why

1105
00:44:45.359 --> 00:44:47.589
i have been diligently praying for our

1106
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:51.990
lord's return

1107
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:53.589
out of fear i think of speaking at this

1108
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.829
bible school son

1109
00:44:57.839 --> 00:45:01.030
you just don't know

1110
00:45:01.040 --> 00:45:03.510
but the children of israel were reduced

1111
00:45:03.520 --> 00:45:05.990
to stubble

1112
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.589
pharaoh took away the straw

1113
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:11.589
and they were grieved and they still had

1114
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:12.630
to come up

1115
00:45:12.640 --> 00:45:15.270
they still had to come up with it

1116
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:17.030
to pay the pharaoh

1117
00:45:17.040 --> 00:45:18.870
that tally of bricks

1118
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:20.309
they had to go out

1119
00:45:20.319 --> 00:45:22.550
and they were reduced to stubble and

1120
00:45:22.560 --> 00:45:24.230
what does paul say

1121
00:45:24.240 --> 00:45:25.990
in first corinthians

1122
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:27.270
now if any man build upon this

1123
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.230
foundation gold silver

1124
00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:33.270
all the glorious metal precious stone

1125
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:35.510
that's my signal

1126
00:45:35.520 --> 00:45:37.430
wood

1127
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.670
it's combustible but it can still be

1128
00:45:39.680 --> 00:45:41.910
used in the habitation of the spirit if

1129
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:44.870
it's covered with gold a tried faith

1130
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:46.790
and he goes on to say hey

1131
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:48.309
the children of israel had hay they

1132
00:45:48.319 --> 00:45:49.910
still had a little hope

1133
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.109
but then pharaoh took that and said now

1134
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:54.069
build
