1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, August thirteen,

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,119
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,799
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:45,719
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:49,240
today is no exception. We are continuing in lesson number

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,880
seven in our Lesson study series through the Book of Mark,

16
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:57,560
and our caption for today is the Mountain and the Multitude.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,200
The Mountain and the Multitude. We'll get into that in

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,599
just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome

19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,560
to you and ask you to please go over to

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,719
your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

21
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:13,879
pick up the Your Daily Portion book and let us

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,799
know where you are in the world, and this is

23
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,959
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,959
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,640
will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,439
us the opportunity to see your ministry at work. Please

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
teach us to model or emulate what we see. Help

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,959
us to live like Jesus lived while he was on

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,040
planet Earth. Father, and Jesus diay my pray, Amen and

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Amen again the mountain and the multitude. Now, Jesus had

31
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:48,760
so much work to do when he lived on Earth.

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,879
Saving people from our sins is no light matter like

33
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,480
that is not a joke. It's not tiny, it's not small.

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,719
It's not a simple task. But he took and stride

35
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,719
because why he was reliant upon his father, and he

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,120
was on a mission. He had a singular focus to

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,759
seek and to save that which was lost. And of

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,360
course that focus glorified his father, which was in heaven,

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,360
which is in heaven. And so we read now with

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,120
that in mind, from the Book of Mark chapter nine,

41
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:22,960
beginning at verse one, and see what we can glean

42
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,159
from these lessons and the Bible reads and he said,

43
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:30,919
unto them, verily, I say unto you, that there be

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,039
some of them that stand here which shall not taste

45
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,560
of death till they see, until they have seen the

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,599
Kingdom of God come with power. Jesus is about to

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,360
reveal something massive. In not so long, He's going to

48
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,960
reveal something massive. And after six days Jesus taketh with

49
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:54,439
him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up

50
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:59,280
into a high mountain apart by themselves. Where were they

51
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,319
in a mountain? The mountain in the multitude, the mountain

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,360
in the multitude? Where were they they were in the

53
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,520
mountain with whom were they in the mountain with Jesus?

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,639
Have you ever seen anybody in a mountain with Jesus

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,280
in the Bible, I'm saying, anybody in the mount with Jesus.

56
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:17,319
Speaker 1: Oh.

57
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: I think Moses was in the mountain with Jesus and

58
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,879
was enfolded into a cloud. Oh I think Joshua was

59
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,560
up there with Moses on one of those occasions, and

60
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:31,400
he experienced God in a special way. And sometimes we

61
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:35,560
don't realize this, but Joshua was being primed and ready

62
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:39,960
for taking over from Moses. And Moses. Neither Moses nor

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Joshua knew this. But that's a different story. So when

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,039
you see God's people going into a mountain with Jesus,

65
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
then something is about to happen. And in this case,

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,919
when you see Peter and James and John together doing

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,199
anything with Jesus, you know something spectacular is about to happen.

68
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:02,759
And so the Bible says that he was transfigured. He

69
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:06,599
was transfigured before them. So when he said that you

70
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:08,840
will see the Kingdom come, some people will see the

71
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:12,039
kingdom come, they were getting a foretaste of the kingdom

72
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,319
right there. To be transfigured means that he was. He

73
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,680
appeared as dazzling brightness, just like you would expect a

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,959
heavenly being to appear. You remember when Moses said, if

75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
I have found glory, if I have found favor with you,

76
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,600
show me your glory, and Jesus said, there shall no

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,560
man see me and live. So he allowed Moses to

78
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,759
experience the glory before the time, but it was a

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,399
distilled version, just so that that he could experience it

80
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,720
but and not die. But that experience that Moses had

81
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,040
was so incredible that it actually changed how Moses looked.

82
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,360
It changed how Moses looked like his countenance was so

83
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,240
bright that the people of God said, cover that up,

84
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,199
like because of their lack of faith. But that's a

85
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,560
different discussion. Cover that up. I can't take that brightness,

86
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800
put a veil over your face. But he was reflecting

87
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,680
the brightness of God. And so Jesus is now transfigured

88
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,519
before them, brighter than any fuller, as the Bible says

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,279
could have whitened. Okay, and his raiment here it is,

90
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,680
his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow, as no

91
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,079
fuller on earth can white them. That is no cleaner

92
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,720
if you want to say detergent verse four. And there

93
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,639
appeared unto them Elias. Who is that? Elijah? They saw

94
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,360
with their real eyes, the real man of God, who

95
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:47,519
did not ever taste death, but God took him into

96
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,759
heaven in chariots of fire. And who else did they see?

97
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,000
They saw? They saw Elias and Moses. So Elijah and Moses.

98
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Bible says in the Bible Book of Jude that Jesus

99
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,360
and the devil contended over the body of Moses, and

100
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:09,319
of course Jesus won. He won. He rebuked the devil.

101
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,480
He said, the Lord rebuke you, Satan. And of course

102
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,160
we know now that Moses was resurrected. So Elijah, who

103
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,160
never saw death experience death and Moses, who did die

104
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,720
but was raised, now stand as representatives, representatives of those

105
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,519
who will go to heaven one day and then the

106
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
earth made knew first the people who will be what

107
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,480
we call translated who are alive and remain, as Paul

108
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,519
describes it, when Jesus comes, those who are alive and

109
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:44,160
remain will be caught up together with them who's the them,

110
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,920
people like Moses who were once dead but now raised incorruptible.

111
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,720
And so those who are alive and remain will also

112
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,439
go to heaven together with those who were dead that

113
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,920
were God's people and raised. And together we go to

114
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,279
heaven and invest a thousand years until we get the reward,

115
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,079
which is the earth made new. I hope that made sense.

116
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,519
I know I'm speaking quickly. We have to run along.

117
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,439
And then the Bible says here that they and they

118
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:18,560
were talking to Jesus. Can you imagine the kind of

119
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,360
encouragement that Elijah and Moses were giving Jesus. Can you

120
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:27,160
imagine it was not like what Peter did yesterday we

121
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:31,040
discussed it where he rebuked Jesus saying that you will

122
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,839
not do what you just said, do you will not

123
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,639
give your life. The people won't hate you, they won't

124
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,560
persecute you, or whatever it is that he was saying.

125
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,839
But these men of God understood their assignment. They came down,

126
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,040
they spoke with Jesus. What do you think that they

127
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,240
were talking about? Can you imagine? If Jesus failed? God

128
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,360
forbid banished the thought. But if Jesus failed on his mission,

129
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,399
then Elijah, who had been living in heaven for thousands

130
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,600
of years, would have to come back and then be punished,

131
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,959
sentenced to each other dial death. Moses, who had been

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,920
living in heaven for thousands of years, would have been

133
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,759
taken out of heaven and then condemned, punished. And Jesus

134
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600
is now getting encouragement from these men. This is what

135
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,240
I see in my mind. I see him, I see

136
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,120
them encouraging Jesus. Verse five. And Peter answered and said,

137
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,680
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here.

138
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:27,800
Let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, one for Moses,

139
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:31,759
and one for Elijah. And he wish not what to say,

140
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,440
for they were sore afraid, and there was a cloud

141
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,159
that overshadowed them, and a voice that came out of

142
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,519
the cloud, saying, this is my beloved son. Hear him.

143
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,240
So now, Father God is putting his stamp of approval

144
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,840
on Jesus, just like he did at the Jordan River

145
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,200
verse eight. And suddenly, when they had looked around about,

146
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,840
they saw no man anymore save Jesus, only with themselves.

147
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,519
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged

148
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,320
them that they should tell no man what things they

149
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,720
had seen till the Son of Man were raised from

150
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:14,159
the dead. And they kept that, saying to themselves, questioning

151
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,120
one with another what the rising of the raising of

152
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:20,240
the dead should mean. And he asked them, saying, why

153
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,080
say the scribes that Elias must first come? And he

154
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,240
answered and told them, Elias verily is cometh first, and

155
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,279
restoreth all things. And now, as it is written of

156
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,399
the Son of Man that we must he must suffer

157
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,639
many things and be set at naught. And I say

158
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,080
unto you, Elias is indeed come, and they have done

159
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:44,679
unto him whatsoever they desired. Make it a great day.

160
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

161
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

162
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

163
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

164
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your Daily Portion with El David Harris. Make

165
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day, yeah,
