00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Sunday Service, Episode seventy seven.

2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I am your host, Josh Monday. If you don't member,

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Christian rapper, devoted husband, father, and Army veteran. And this

4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>is brought to you by Cult of Conspiracy Podcast. And yes,

5
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys so much for joining me. We're going

6
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to be in first chronicles seven today, probably gonna go seven,

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>eight and nine. So yeah, I'm looking forward to the show.

8
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>So I started a GoFundMe for this trip. So I

9
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>bought my tickets to Edmonton, Canada, bought my hotel, you know,

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>got a hotel stay or whatever there or it's like

11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 1>a basically a man what is that called. That's not

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a hotel, but it's the other service that you use

13
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 1>when you run a house. I can't remember what it's

14
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>called right now, but paid for that. It's like six

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>fifty And then I bought the tickets to Puta Arenas,

16
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>which ended up being way more expensive. It was about

17
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hundred dollars for those tickets. It's a seventeen hour flight,

18
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>so it's going to be a very long flight to

19
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>get there, and uh, I have to get a hotel

20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. It's probably gonna be like, you know, one

21
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks a night something like that, so it's gonna

22
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>come out to about eighteen hundred dollars for that trip.

23
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be getting a three sixty camera for

24
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>the trip, you know, to film the sunrise sunset from

25
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>both fifty three degrees north fifty three degrees south, and

26
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be very interesting. But yeah, I started gofund me.

27
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>If you go to my Instagram, you're gonna see a

28
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you'll see it on the story. Just go to Josh

29
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Monday Underscore Podcast if you're looking to donate. And also

30
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.879

33
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>could see a link there if you I can. Also

34
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>probably it's kind of hard because I can't put the

35
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>link here in I can't put the link in the chat,

36
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>so be the I don't really know what the website

37
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>is to go to this, so if you share it,

38
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 1>um copy link. Well, if you're interested, you can just

42
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. I'm trying to raise about twenty five hundred dollars.

43
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It's really just because you know, my wife told me, yeah,

44
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you can go, no problem, but try to crowdfund for this, soay,

45
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>it helps us pay for it. So that's kind of

46
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. I just want to make sure that

47
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, happy wife, happy life type deals. So if

48
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>you're interested, it'd be awesome if you donate ten bucks,

49
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>five bucks, whatever, would be cool, anything like that. I've

50
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>already raised about two hundred dollars, so I'm feeling very blessed.

51
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Milton o'campbell, one of my friends, donated already like two

52
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars to start, which is amazing. So s already

53
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>off to a good start. So no need to worry.

54
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 1>If you can't, it's all good. I'm not trying to

55
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>put anybody in any type of predicament. But if you're

56
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>interested in donating, I got it on the go fundb page.

57
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>If you look up support Josh Monday. It's basically support

58
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Josh's Flat Earth Experiment, is what it's under. I guess

59
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>if you probably searched that on gofundbe might be able

60
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 1>to find it or look up joshull Monday something like that.

61
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you guys,

62
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>even just commenting, sharing the show, whatever you guys do.

63
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate all of it, you know, and I appreciate

64
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody that listens. And hopefully it's assisting you guys in

65
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>your walk with the Lord, so that's the most important thing.

66
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 1>This is just a side thing for me because I've

67
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 1>been wrestling with biblical cosmology flat earth for about four

68
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>years now, so I want to go see what the

69
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>sun is doing in both these locations. It'll assist me in,

70
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, making sure that I'm teaching correctly in the

71
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Bible and stuff like that. So there's a spiritual aspect

72
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to it, and I want to go and test these claims,

73
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>so I don't want to be sitting on the microphone

74
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>always just talking all the time. I want to actually

75
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>go and test the claim. So there'll be a few

76
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>different things we're gonna do out there. Besides just filming

77
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>the sunrise sunset, We're gonna be also probably trying to

78
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>do some type of flat experiment as well to see

79
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>if that works. So the sun might be doing something.

80
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>But is the earth flat as well? Well, we're gonna

81
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 1>check that out too. But let's go to the most

82
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>important part and why we are all here. It is

83
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the Bible, okay, so let's go to that. We're going

84
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 1>to go to first chronicles verse our chapter seven, verse

85
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>one is where we're going to be. And let me

86
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 1>do some shout outs real quick. To those that commented

87
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>on Cult of Conspiracy, Sunday Service and Wednesday Service, let

88
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>me go there real quick. And for those that listen

89
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>to this on YouTube when this is released, if I've

90
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 1>already raised that amount of money, then you obviously don't

91
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>even then you can just not even listen to this,

92
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>but we'll see what happens. But anyways, okay, so Sunday

<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate that as well. Thank you guys. Let's

134
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>get to the Bible. So we're done with all the housekeeping.

135
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the Bible. So we have first Chronicle seven.

136
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>The intro to First Chronicle seven says, First Chronicle seven

137
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>continues the detailed genealogical records of the tribes of Israel,

138
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>moving from Ishkar to Asher. It presents a picture of

139
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the ancestral lineage that forms the history and identity of Israel,

140
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>signifying God's providence and promise to his people. Amazing. So

141
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go through some more genealogies and some

142
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>other stuff as well when we get to chapter nine. Okay,

143
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So let's go ahead and take a look at first

144
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 1>chronicle seven, verse one. And these are more more names

145
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that I get to Butcher, Yeah, here we go. The

146
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>family of Ishkar chapter one. Our chapter seven, verse one

147
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>says the sons of Iskar were Tola, Pua, Joshab, and

148
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Shimron four. And all the sons of Tola were Uzi, Raphaeya,

149
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>jeri Oh, Jemi, jib Sham, and Shamil are Shemuel sorry

150
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>heads of their father's house. The sons of Tola were

151
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 1>mighty men of valor in their generations. Their number in

152
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 1>the days of David was twenty two thousand, six hundred Wow.

153
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>The son of Uzzi wash Israah, and the sons of

154
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Israeah were Michael, Obidiah, Joel, and Ishaia. All five of

155
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 1>them were chief men, and with them by their generations.

156
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>According to their father's houses, were thirty six thousand troops

157
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 1>ready for war, many for they had many wives and sons.

158
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Now their brethren. Among all the families of Ishkar were

159
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 1>mighty men of valor, listed by their genealogies eighty seven

160
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 1>thousand and all. Wow, that's a lot. A lot of

161
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 1>them are soldiers too, So it's really interesting. So let's

162
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and check out what I have in my notes,

163
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>says God's faithfulness the genealogies and first Chronicle seven high

164
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>like God's faithfulness and preserving the tribes of Israel. Each

165
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>name represents a link in the chain of God's covenant promises.

166
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>So God's faithfulness is essential theme throughout the Bible, reflecting

167
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>his unwavering commitment to his promises and his people. The

168
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>attribute of God is foundational to understanding his character and

169
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 1>his interactions with humanity. The faithfulness of God assures believers

170
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of his reliability, trustworthiness, and steadfast love. The concept of

171
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 1>God's faithfulness is deeply rooted in the Old Testament. In

172
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Deuteronomy seven, verse nine, Moses declares, know therefore that the

173
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Lord your God is God. He is the faithful God,

174
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 1>keeping his covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations

175
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>with those who love him and keep his commandments. This

176
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>verse highlights God's covenantial faithfulness, emphasizing his enduring commitment to

177
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>his people. The Psalms frequently celebrate God's faithfulness. In Psalms

178
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty six five states, your loving devotional Lord reaches to

179
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Here the Psalmist

180
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>poetically describes the vastness and reliability of God's faithfulness sugg,

181
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>suggesting it as expansive as the heavens themselves. The prophet

182
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah also speaks of God's faithfulness, particularly in the context

183
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 1>of his promise to Israel. Isaiah forty nine seven says thus,

184
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 1>says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One,

185
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>kings will see and stand up, princes will see in

186
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 1>bow down because of the Lord Yahweh, who is faithful,

187
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the Holy One of Israel, who has chosenes you. This

188
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 1>passage underscores God's faithfulness and fulfilling his redemptive plans for

189
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 1>his chosen people, and in the New Testament, God's faithfulness

190
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>is revealed through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

191
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 1>The apostle, Paul frequently refers to God's faithfulness, and his

192
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>epistles and first Chronicles are First Corinthians one, verse nine.

193
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Paul writes, God, who has called you into fellowship with

194
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>his son Jesus Christ, our Lord, is faithful. This assurance

195
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>of God's faithfulness is foundational for the believer's confidence and

196
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>their salvation and ongoing relationship with Christ. The faithfulness of

197
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 1>God is also evident in his promises regarding temptation and trials,

198
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>and First Chronicles ten verse thirteen Paul Aschu's believers, no

199
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>temptation has seized. You accept what is common to man,

200
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and God is faithful. He will let you be tempted.

201
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>He will not let you be tempted beyond what you

202
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also

203
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>provide an escape so that you can stand up under it.

204
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 1>This promise highlights God's faithfulness in providing strength and a

205
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>way out during times of testing. The Book of Hebrew

206
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>further emphasizes God's faithfulness in the context of his promises.

207
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Hebrews ten twenty three encourage his believers Sorry. Hebrews ten

208
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty three encourages believers, let us hold resolutely to the

209
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>hope we profess for he who promises faithful. The exhortation

210
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>is rooted in the assurance that God's promises are reliable

211
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 1>and will be fulfilled. Implications for believers. For believers, God faithful.

212
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>God's faithfulness is a source of comfort, hope, and encouragement.

213
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>It assures that God will fulfill his promises, provide for

214
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 1>their needs, and remain with them through all circumstances. The

215
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 1>faithfulness of God calls believers to respond with trust, obedience,

216
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 1>and faithfulness in their own lives, reflecting the character of

217
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the one that they serve. Okay, so let's see if

218
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I have I have some more stuff. So significance of

219
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>each tribe. Each tribe had a unique role in contribution

220
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to the nation of Israel. Understanding these roles helps us

221
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the diversity and unity within God's peoples. People's God's people.

222
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I think we kind of went through this before, but

223
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll start out. We'll just go through a few here.

224
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna be talking about Ishkar. So. Ishkar, the ninth

225
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>son of Jacob and Leah, was known for his agricultural

226
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>abundance wisdom. The tribe was described as strong and industrious.

227
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Ishkar is a strong Donkey line down between sheep folds

228
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Genesis forty nine fourteen. We'll go Ruben. He was the

229
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 1>firstborn of Jacob and Leah. Despite his birthright, Rubin lost

230
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 1>his pre eminence due to an indiscretion with his father's concubine, Beliah.

231
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>His tribe settled on the east side of the Jordan River.

232
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Reuben's significance is often seen as initial leadership role, which

233
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>was later diminished. Benjamin is what we're going to be

234
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 1>talking about as well, So let me just go to

235
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>tribe Benjamin. Benjamin, the twelfth son of Jacob and Rachel,

236
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 1>was the smallest tribe but known for its fierce warriors.

237
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 1>The tribe's territory included Jerusalem, and it played a crucial

238
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 1>role in Israel's history. The Apostle Paul, as significant figure

239
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 1>in the New Testament, was from the tribe of Benjamin.

240
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Let me just highlight this and see Nephtali is another one.

241
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Nephtali. Nephtali, the sixth son of Jacob

242
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and Bellah, settled in the fertile region of Galilee. The

243
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 1>tribe is noted for its swiftness and valor in battle.

244
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Nephtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.

245
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.159
<v Speaker 1>The tribe's territory later became significant in the mystery in

246
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the Ministry of Jesus and then the family of Ephrium.

247
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>So we have Ephrium and Manassa we're going to talk about.

248
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 1>So let's go to that. Joseph, the eleventh son of

249
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Jacob and Rachel, received a double portion through his sons

250
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Ephrium and Manassai. Ephrium became the leader of the tribe

251
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 1>of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, while Manassai was known

252
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 1>for his law arch territory. Joseph's account is of suffering

253
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and redemption. Is a powerful narrative in God's providence. And

254
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>let's see what else we go into. Asher. Let's check

255
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>out Asher. Asher was the eighth son of Jacob and

256
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Zilpol was blessed with fertile land and prosperity. The tribe's

257
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 1>territory is known for its olive tree production. Asher's food

258
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>will be rich, he shall provide royal delicacies. All right,

259
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>So I'll see if in eight we talked about Benjamin,

260
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 1>so I kind of went over that, and I think

261
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>we talked a little bit about the tribe of Levi

262
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 1>and nine, Yeah, the Levites. So let's go to Levi

263
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 1>real quick, so you guys can get it back in

264
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>on that. The tribe of Levi was set apart for

265
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 1>religious duties. Levi's descendants, particularly the Levites, were responsible for

266
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 1>the tabernacle and lay to the temple services. Moses and

267
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Aaron were from this tribe, highlighting its spiritual significance at

268
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 1>that time. The Lord Yahweh set up the tribe of

269
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Levi to carry the ark of the Covenant for the

270
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 1>Lord Yahweh to stand before the Lord to minister and

271
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.

272
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 1>All right, it says that there. So let's go back

273
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to seven and we'll start at the family of Benjamin,

274
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and let me go back real quick. So I went

275
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.679
<v Speaker 1>over those just because we're going to be going over

276
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>those in the next couple chapters. All right. Legacy and Heritage.

277
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 1>The chapter underscores the importance of legacy and heritage. The

278
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>names listed are not just historical records, but testimonies to

279
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 1>faith and endurance. All right, So let's read a little

280
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>further and then I'll go over the legacy and heritage.

281
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 1>But before that, we'll go over a detailed account of

282
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 1>what we just read in verses one through five. First,

283
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles one through five outlines the genealogy of the tribe

284
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of Ishkar, highlighting its growth into a strong, populous tribe

285
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of eighty seven thousand Mighty Men of Valor during David's reign.

286
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It emphasizes God's faithfulness and preserving increasing and strengthening in

287
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 1>the tribe, transitioning from small beginnings to a significant battle

288
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 1>ready force. Key meanings include divine faithfulness and increase. The

289
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>passage records how the clan of Ishkar grew significantly, reflecting

290
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.319
<v Speaker 1>God's covenant promise of blessing and multiplication. Mighty Men of Valor.

291
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>The eighty seven thousand men listed were skilled, courageous warriors,

292
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 1>symbolizing the tribe's strength and importance in defending Israel. Record

293
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>of heritage. The detailed genealogy reinforces the importance of tribal identity,

294
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 1>family structure, and the preservation of God's people over generations

295
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and then contexts of growth. These verses, appearing during the

296
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>time of David, highlight the strength of the northern tribes

297
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and show that even admits changing times, God preserves the

298
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>lineage of his people. This section serves as a reminder

299
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of God's attention to detail, maintaining records, and raising up

300
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>strength within families. All right, let's go there. Now, let's

301
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>go to uh first chronicle seven, verse six. The family

302
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of Benjamin. The sons of Benjamin were Bellah, Beecher, and Jadeel.

303
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Three in all. The sons of Belah were esbon Uzzi, Uziel, Jeremov,

304
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and Erie. Five and all they were heads of their

305
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>father's houses, and they were listed by their genealogies. Twenty

306
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and thirty four men of Valor. The sons

307
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of Bechkar were Zamora, Joe ash Eliezer, Eleoni, Amri, Jeremov, Albajah, Onanath,

308
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and Elia Elimth. All these were the sons of Bakar,

309
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and they were recorded by genealogy according to their generations

310
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>heads of the father's houses. Twenty two hundred mighty men

311
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of Valor. The son of Jadeel was bell bill Hahn,

312
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:01.559
<v Speaker 1>and the sons of bill Hann were Jewish Jewish Gush,

313
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 1>not Jewish, not Jewish, but g USh. Benjamin Ehud Chennah

314
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Zithan Tharasharrahish and ahush Ah wait a high Shashar a

315
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>high Shashar. All these sons of Judio were heads of

316
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 1>their father's house. There were seventeen thousand, two hundred mighty

317
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 1>men of valor fit to go for war and battle.

318
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Shoe Pim and Hupim were the sons of her and

319
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Hushim were the sons of Ahir. Okay, so we went

320
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>over that. So let me just go over some context

321
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.799
<v Speaker 1>in the legacy and heritage real quick, and then we'll

322
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>go over a quick detail the account of what we

323
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 1>just read. Let me just highlight verse thirteen, so I

324
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>don't mess up like last week. There we go. I

325
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>know where I'm at, all right. So, in the Biblical context,

326
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the concept of legacy and heritage are deeply intertwined with

327
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the themes of faith, covenant, and transmission of spiritual and

328
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 1>moral values across generations. These themes are prevalent throughout scripture,

329
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 1>emphasizing the importance of leaving a godly legacy and preserving

330
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 1>a heritage that honors God. Legacy, the idea of legacy

331
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.519
<v Speaker 1>in the Bible, often relates to the spiritual and moral

332
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>influence one leaves behind. Proverbs thirteen twenty two states a

333
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but

334
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous. This

335
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 1>verse highlights the importance of leaving a legacy that benefits

336
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:37.839
<v Speaker 1>future generations, not just materially, but spiritually and morally. The

337
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 1>patriarchs of Israel, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are

338
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 1>prime examples of individuals who left a significant legacy. God's

339
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>covenant with Abraham, as recorded in Genesis twelve verses two

340
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>through three, promised that through him all nations would be blessed.

341
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 1>This covenantial promise was a spiritual legacy that extended beyond

342
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>his immediate descendants to all who would come to fit

343
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.079
<v Speaker 1>In the New Testament, the apostle Paul speaks of spiritual

344
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 1>legacy in terms of faith and teaching and two Timothy two.

345
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Verse two. Paul instructs Timothy and the things you have

346
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 1>heard me in the presence of many witnesses, and trust

347
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 1>to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Here,

348
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>the legacy is the transmission of sound, doction and faithfulness

349
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.319
<v Speaker 1>to the Gospel message. Let's talk about heritage. Heritage in

350
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 1>the Bible often refers to the inheritance of land, blessings,

351
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 1>and spiritual promises. The Israelites inheritance of the promised land

352
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>is a central theme in the Old Testament. In Deuteronomy four,

353
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty, Moses reminds the Israelites, but the Lord has

354
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 1>taken you, brought you out of the iron furnace, out

355
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as

356
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you are today. This heritage was not only a physical possession,

357
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>but also a spiritual identity as God's chosen people. In

358
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Psalms one twenty seven, verses three through five, speaks of

359
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 1>children as their heritage from the Lord. Behold, children are

360
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>a heritage from the Lord Ah, the fruit of the

361
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>moon a reward like arrows in the hand of a warrior.

362
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 1>So are the children born in one's youth. Blessed is

363
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the man who quiver is full of them, whose quiver

364
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>is full of them. This passage underscores the value of

365
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.039
<v Speaker 1>family and the responsibility to raise children, and the knowledge

366
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and fear of the Lord Yahweh. In the New Testament,

367
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:29.559
<v Speaker 1>believers are described as heirs of God's promises. Heirs of

368
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 1>heirrors of God's promises. Roman's eight to seventeen states, and

369
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>if we are children that are, then we are hers

370
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>errors of God and co errors with Christ. And indeed

371
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we suffer with Him so that we may also be

372
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 1>glorified with him. This spiritual heritage is the promise of

373
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>eternal life and the blessings of being part of God's family.

374
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Intergenerational transmission. The Bible places significant emphasis on transmission of

375
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>legacy and heritage through generations. Deuteronomy six Versus six through

376
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>seven commands these words, I am commanding you today are

377
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to be upon your hearts, and you shall teach them

378
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>diligently to your children, and speak to them when you

379
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 1>sit at home, and when you walk along the road,

380
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.039
<v Speaker 1>when you lie down, and when you get up. This

381
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 1>passage highlights the responsibility of parents to instill God's commandments

382
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and their children, ensuring the continuity of faith and obedience.

383
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.160
<v Speaker 1>The faith of Timothy, as mentioned in Two Timothy one,

384
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.039
<v Speaker 1>verse five, is an example of a legacy passed down

385
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 1>through generations. I'm reminded of your sincere faith, which first

386
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 1>lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice.

387
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.839
<v Speaker 1>And I am persuaded now lives in you. Also, this

388
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 1>illustrates the impact of Godly heritage on an individual's faith journey.

389
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>In summary, the Biblical concept of legacy and heritage emphasizes

390
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the importance of leaving a spiritual and moral influence that

391
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>honors God and benefits future generations through the faithful transmission

392
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.599
<v Speaker 1>of God's promises, teachings, and values. Believers are called to

393
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 1>ensure that their legacy and heritage reflect their commitment to

394
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>God's covenant and his his eternal kingdom. Okay, so let's

395
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 1>go over a detailed account of what we just read. First,

396
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles seven, verses six through twelve outlines the genealogy of

397
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the tribe of Benjamin, highlighting its growth, resilience, and military

398
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>strength by listing the descendants of Bellaw, Bachar, and Jedeo

399
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 1>jed Al. It emphasizes the tribe's recovery after early near

400
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 1>extinction extinction events, identifying over fifty nine thousand mighty warriors

401
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 1>who were crucial to Israel's structure, particularly during the era

402
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>of King David significance of the tribe. This section emphasizes

403
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the importance of the Benjamin clan, proving that every clan

404
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin carried into Canaan survived into the monarchy. Key individuals

405
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the text list Belah meaning destruction, are de owing, perhaps

406
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:05.640
<v Speaker 1>reflecting the tumultuous history Bachar young Kamel or firstborn, and

407
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Jadeel God knows or known by God military strength. The

408
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>passage emphasizes the military proudness of the tribe, with a

409
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>total of fifty nine thousand and four to thirty four

410
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:20.519
<v Speaker 1>mighty warriors listed. Genealogy tiding verse twelve clarifies relationships with

411
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>certain subclusters Shupim and Hupim within the tribe, reconciling in

412
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>early records like Genesis forty six twenty one contexts. These

413
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.559
<v Speaker 1>genealogies demonstrate God's faithfulness to the northern tribes, maintaining the

414
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 1>lineage of his people through centuries from Egypt to the

415
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Promised Land. Okay, next we're going to talk about the

416
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 1>family of Natali. The sons of Natali were Jazil, Gooni, Jazir,

417
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and Shaloum, the sons of Bilha. Okay, and that's it.

418
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>That's all they list on this one, not saying that's

419
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>all the sons that they had or whatever. I don't

420
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 1>know why. It just stops there, but let's read a

421
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 1>little further into this so first, Chronicle seven thirteen lists

422
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of four sons of Naphtali, Jaesio, Gunid, Jaesir, and Shaloum,

423
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>identifying them as descendants of Belah, Jacob's concubine. This brief

424
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:17.519
<v Speaker 1>genealogy serves to confirm the lineage, tribal continuity, and covenential

425
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:21.519
<v Speaker 1>inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali within Israel's structure. It

426
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 1>emphasizes God's faithfulness in preserving every family lineal continuity. The

427
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 1>verse confirms that despite the exile of the northern tribes,

428
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 1>God remembers and records the lineage of each tribe, ensuring

429
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>no family is truly lost significance of lineage. By listing

430
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the sons who are also recognized in Genesis forty six

431
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty four in numbers twenty six, forty eight through forty nine,

432
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the text provides a historical record validating the tribe's inheritance

433
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>in the Promised Land. Focus on the marginalized, this verse

434
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>highlights that these descendants came through the law a concubine,

435
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>showcasing that God includes all branches of family line and

436
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 1>his redemptive history connects into past and future. It bridges

437
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the patriarchs Jacob Bellah with the post exile community, reaffirming

438
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>its identity as part of the unified Twelve Tribes. The

439
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>genealogy in this chapter primarily functions to remind the returning

440
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 1>exiles of their heritage and their place in God's ongoing plan.

441
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, so this is written to them, right but

442
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 1>for us. So it's written to them for us something

443
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that we should recognize. And let me just put some

444
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>chaps in on. Okay, there you go, all right, So

445
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>now we're going to be on verse fourteen through nineteen.

446
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>The family of Manassai. It says west, so it must

447
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>be covering just the west. The descendants of Manassai, his

448
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Syrian concubine bore him Markshir, the father of Gilead, the

449
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 1>father of Asbriel. Mattir took his wife, the sister of

450
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 1>hoop Him and shoop Him, whose name was Makaw. The

451
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>name of Gilead's grandson was Zelophad, but Zellohad or Zelo had,

452
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 1>sorry Zelaphah had, but Zelafhah had begot only daughters. Mackay,

453
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the wife of Macar bore a son, and she called

454
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>his name Parish. The name of his brother was Shirish,

455
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and his sons were Ulam and Rakim. The son of

456
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Ulamb was Badan. These were the descendants of Gilead, the

457
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 1>son of Macar, the son of Manasi, his sister Pamela,

458
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 1>keth boor Ishad, Abbiezer and mah Lah. And the sons

459
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of Shemidah were Ahn, Shechem, Lekhi, and Anium. Okay, so

460
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>let's check out what we just read there. The First

461
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles seven verses fourteenth through nineteen, which we just read,

462
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 1>records the genealogy of the tribe of Manassai, focusing on

463
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>descendants through Macar and Gilead, including families that settled in Canaan.

464
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It highlights God's faithfulness in multiplying the tribe despite mixed

465
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Armine ancestry, showing how ordinary families of diverse origins fit

466
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:22.319
<v Speaker 1>into this covenant genealogical record. This passage, part of a larger,

467
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.799
<v Speaker 1>often condensed genealogical record of Israel's tribes, highlights the descendants

468
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 1>of Manassites, a son of Joseph, the line of Manassa.

469
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 1>It lists Asrael, Macar, Gilead, outlining families that received land

470
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and received land in the promised land. Inclusion of foreign heritage.

471
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Verse fourteen mentions Armine concubine who bore Macar, emphasizing that

472
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:51.279
<v Speaker 1>God's covenant promises included people from diverse backgrounds, reflecting a broader, inclusive,

473
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>redemptive plan. Significant names. The mention of specific names in

474
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 1>some interpretations daughters like Aha and Verse eighteen, which sometimes

475
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.480
<v Speaker 1>interpreted as a sister or place name, highlights the importance

476
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 1>of individual, historical and family lines of God's story. Geographical context.

477
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.039
<v Speaker 1>These verses refer to family of the half tribe of

478
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Manassa that settled on the west side of the Jordan

479
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 1>River and contrast to others in Gilead. So that's why

480
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 1>it says the family of Manassai west okay. So that

481
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 1>now let's go ahead and go down here to verse

482
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty through twenty eight. It's going to be talking about

483
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the family of Ephriam, the brother of Manassa. The sons

484
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of Ephrium were shul al Wait, Shihula, shoe la La

485
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.680
<v Speaker 1>buried his son Tahath, his son Elidah, his son to Hath,

486
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.880
<v Speaker 1>his son Zabad, his son shue La La Shutha Llah

487
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:57.400
<v Speaker 1>his son is Zir and Iliad. The men of Gath,

488
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.680
<v Speaker 1>who were born in the land killed them because they

489
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>came down to take away their cattle. Then Ephrium, their father,

490
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

491
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Then they went to his wife. She conceived in Bora's son,

492
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and he called him Bariah because tragedy had come upon

493
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 1>his house. But his daughter was Sharrah, who built lower

494
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 1>and upper Beth Haran and Uzin Sharrah and Repha was

495
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>his son. As well as reship reship what is it reship?

496
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And to law his son Taha his son, and Ladan

497
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>his son, Amahu his son, Elishama his son, None his son,

498
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and Joshua his son. Now their possessions of dwelling places

499
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 1>were Bethel and its towns to the east, Nuran to

500
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.079
<v Speaker 1>the west, Gazir and its towns, Shechem and its towns,

501
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.880
<v Speaker 1>as far as Aya and its towns, and by the

502
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>borders of the children of Manassai were beth Sheen and

503
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>its towns, to Knock and its towns, Megado in its towns,

504
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Dora and its towns, and these dwelt the children of

505
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Joseph and the son of Israel, sorry, children of Joseph,

506
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the son of Israel. Okay, so, the son of Jacob

507
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 1>all right so. In First Chronicles seven twenty through twenty

508
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 1>eight records the genealogy at Ephrium, highlighting God's covenant faithfulness

509
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>despite profound tragedy. It recounts Ephrium losing his sons in

510
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the cattle raid near Gath, his subsequent mourning, and the

511
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>birth of Bariah, whose lineage eventually leads to Joshua, which

512
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>we know Joshua write the Book of Joshua, The Conquer

513
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of Canaan. This narrative emphasizes restoration and the continuation of

514
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 1>God's purpose through generations okay, tragedy and restoration. Ephrium's mourning

515
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 1>over his killed sons Iszir and Iliad is followed by

516
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the birth of Bariah, showing how God brings life and

517
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:02.519
<v Speaker 1>hope down out of deep sorrow. The genealogical preservation the

518
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Passes list nine generations from Ephrium down to Joshua, ensuring

519
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the lineage is a key leader is preserved. Ensuring the

520
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:12.799
<v Speaker 1>lineage of a key leader is preserved. The rise of

521
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Joshua the genealogy highlights that Joshua the son of Nun

522
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 1>descends from the line of bria A, Beriah Buriah, emphasizing

523
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that God prepared a leader for Israel's future even after

524
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>early setbacks. Territorial Inheritance, Verses twenty eight through twenty nine

525
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>outlined the eras the areas Ephrium descendants settled, including Bethel

526
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:42.799
<v Speaker 1>and Shechem. God's fulfilling God's promise of land to Abraham's descendants.

527
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 1>The role of women. The passes notes Shariah, a daughter

528
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>of Ephriam, who built several cities, demonstrating the important role

529
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of women and establishing the nation. This section serves as

530
00:33:53.920 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 1>a reminder to the post ex Excelic community that exil

531
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like Exlek community that God is sovereign over history,

532
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.480
<v Speaker 1>works through human tragedy, and is faithful to his promises

533
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>across generations. Okay, so there we go there, and then

<v Speaker 1>next we're going to read the family of Asher. Verse

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.800
<v Speaker 1>The inclusion of Asher, a northern tribe, demonstrates that God's

558
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 1>covenant promises extend to the entire nation, not just Judah,

559

00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:53.320
<v Speaker 1>legitimacy and heritage, military strength, and leadership. The text describes

569
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>northern coastal region. This geology serves as to remind the

570
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.119
<v Speaker 1>post exotic readers that they are part of a larger

571
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sustained and promised people, with God keeping track of every

572
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 1>family or whether famous or forgotten, there we go, So

573
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:40.440
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and check out some divine order. The

00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:51.559
<v Speaker 1>us that He is sovereign over all generations. Divine order.

576
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Divine order refers to the arrangement and organization established by

577
00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 1>God in the universe, encompassing both its natural natural world

578
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and the spiritual realm. It is the principle that God

579
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>has a specific plan purpose for creation, and everything operates

580
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>according to his sovereign will and design. The concept is

581
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>rooted in the belief that God is a God of order,

582
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:19.199
<v Speaker 1>not chaos, and his creation reflects his orderly nature. Biblical foundation,

583
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.400
<v Speaker 1>The concept of divine order is woven throughout scriptures, beginning

584
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.679
<v Speaker 1>with the creation account in Genesis one, Verses one through

585
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:29.519
<v Speaker 1>two states in the beginning, God created the heavens and

586
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the earth. Now the earth was formless and void, and

587
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>darkness was over the face of the surface of the deep.

588
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It's darkness will over the face of the waters, and

589
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the spirit of God was hovering over the face of

590
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the waters. From this initial state of chaos. God brings

591
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:48.079
<v Speaker 1>order through his creative acts, culminating the creation of humanity

592
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:52.119
<v Speaker 1>and his image in Genesis one twenty seven. The orderliness

593
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>of creation is further emphasized in the passage such as

594
00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Psalms one four twenty four. How many of your work, O, Lord,

595
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Yahweh and wisdom have you made them? All? The earth

596
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.719
<v Speaker 1>is full of your creatures. This verse highlights the wisdom

597
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and intentionality behind God's creation, reflecting his divine order, Divine

598
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>order and human relationships. Divine order extends to human relationships

599
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and sociuld old structures of societal structures. In the family,

600
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>God has established roles and responsibilities to maintain harmony and

601
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:29.800
<v Speaker 1>reflect his order. In Ephesians five twenty two through twenty five,

602
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:33.039
<v Speaker 1>instructs wives submit to your husbands as to the Lord,

603
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>for the husband is the head of the wife, as

604
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Christ is the head of the Church, his body, of

605
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 1>which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits

606
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands

607
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and everything. Husbands love your wife, just as Christ loved

608
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the Church and gave himself up for her. Similarly, in

609
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the church, God has appointed leaders to guide and shepherd

610
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:56.679
<v Speaker 1>as people in one. Corinthians fourteen thirty three states, for

611
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.039
<v Speaker 1>God is not a god of disorder, but of peace,

612
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 1>as in all all churches of all the saints. This

613
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.280
<v Speaker 1>verse underscores the importance of order within the church community,

614
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:11.320
<v Speaker 1>reflecting God's character divine order in governance. The principle of

615
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:15.559
<v Speaker 1>divine order also applies to governance and authority. Romans thirteen

616
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>one through two teaches everyone must submit himself to the

617
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:21.800
<v Speaker 1>governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which

618
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 1>is from God. The authorities that exist zist have been

619
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.559
<v Speaker 1>appointed by God. Consequently, whoever resists authorities opposing what God

620
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:33.840
<v Speaker 1>is said in place, and those who do so, will

621
00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>bring judgment on themselves. This passage affirms that God establishes

622
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.039
<v Speaker 1>authorities to maintain order and justice in society, divine order

623
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.559
<v Speaker 1>in the spiritual realm and the spiritual realm. In the

624
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.400
<v Speaker 1>spiritual realm and the spiritual realm, divine order is evident

625
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.199
<v Speaker 1>in the hierarchy of angels, in the structure of heaven

626
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the kingdom. Colossians one sixteen declares for in Him, speaking

627
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus, all things were created in heaven and on earth,

628
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 1>visible and indivisible, Whether thrones or dominions, or rulers or authorities.

629
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 1>All things were created through Him and for him. This

630
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>verse highlights the ordered nature of the spiritual realm with

631
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Christ as a supreme authority. Conclusion, the concept of divine

632
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.880
<v Speaker 1>order is integral to understanding God's nature and his purpose

633
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.000
<v Speaker 1>for creation. It is a reflection of his wisdom, sovereignty,

634
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and desire for harmony in all aspects of life. Through

635
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:34.599
<v Speaker 1>divine order, God reveals his character and provides a framework

636
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 1>for living in accordance with his will. Awesome, So we're

637
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:45.039
<v Speaker 1>done with the chapter seven, So we will go ahead

638
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.159
<v Speaker 1>and read go over some practical applications for the chapter.

639
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Value of every individual, just as each name in the

640
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>genealogy has significance, every person today has a role in

641
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:03.159
<v Speaker 1>God's plan. We should value and encourage one another in

642
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:07.599
<v Speaker 1>our unique callings. Next, we have faithfulness in our generation.

643
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Like the tribes of Israel, we were called to be

644
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.880
<v Speaker 1>faithful in our generation, passing on the legacy to faith

645
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of faith to the next. Next, we have trust in

646
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:22.000
<v Speaker 1>God's sovereignty. In times of uncertainty, we can trust in

647
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 1>God's sovereign plan, knowing that he is working through history

648
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>to fulfill his purpose, and then we'll go over some

649
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.360
<v Speaker 1>connections to additional scriptures. We have Genesis twelve, verses one

650
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:38.280
<v Speaker 1>through three, God's promised to Abraham, which is foundational to

651
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the genealogies and the unfolding of his covenant. Then we

652
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>have Hebrews eleven, verse thirty nine through forty, the faith

653
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of those who came before us, highlighting the continuity of

654
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.519
<v Speaker 1>God's plan through generations. And then we have Romans eight

655
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:58.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight, assurance that God's works all God works all

656
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:02.599
<v Speaker 1>things together for good, reflecting his sovereign control over history. Okay,

657
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 1>so there we go. Now let me just jump to

658
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 1>chapter eight. Now, so let me jump to chapter eight

659
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:20.079
<v Speaker 1>on the screen, and I'm just gonna go over a

660
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:25.239
<v Speaker 1>quick introduction to chapter eight. Here we go. So, first,

661
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles eight presents an elaborate list of names, diving deep

662
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:33.599
<v Speaker 1>into the genealogical lineage of the tribe of Benjamin. This

663
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:38.639
<v Speaker 1>chapter serves as a historical record, preserving names, families, and

664
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.840
<v Speaker 1>their descendants. It's an essential exploration of the tribal heritage

665
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>of Israel and the family ties that bind them together.

666
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:57.079
<v Speaker 1>So let me just jump down here before we start

667
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.599
<v Speaker 1>the importance of genealogy. I think we went over there before,

668
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.559
<v Speaker 1>but I'll just go ahead, and genealogies in the Bible,

669
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:09.039
<v Speaker 1>such as First Chronicles eight, underscore the continuity of God's

670
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:14.800
<v Speaker 1>promise through generations. They remind us of God's faithfulness, of

671
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:18.440
<v Speaker 1>God's faithfulness to his covenant people. Okay, just so we

672
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:22.239
<v Speaker 1>know that the tribe of Benjamin. This chapter focuses on

673
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the descendants of Benjamin, emphasizing the tribe's significance in Israel's history.

674
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob, yet his descendants

675
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:33.679
<v Speaker 1>played crucial roles in the nation's story. So let me

676
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just go over this real quick before we start digging

677
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.639
<v Speaker 1>into this chapter. The tribe of Benjamin holds a significant

678
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:42.239
<v Speaker 1>place in the history of Israel as one of the

679
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:47.320
<v Speaker 1>twelve tribes descending from Jacob, also known as Israel. Benjamin

680
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:50.920
<v Speaker 1>was the youngest son of Jacob and his beloved wife Rachel.

681
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>His birth is recorded in Genesis thirty five sixteen through eighteen,

682
00:44:55.559 --> 00:45:00.119
<v Speaker 1>where Rachel names him Benani, meaning son of mine I

683
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.280
<v Speaker 1>sorrow before she dies in childbirth. However, Jacob renames him Benjamin,

684
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>meaning son of the right hand. Territory and location the

685
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.280
<v Speaker 1>territory allotted to the tribe of Benjamin was strategically located

686
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.519
<v Speaker 1>between the tribes of Judah to the south and Ephrium

687
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:20.159
<v Speaker 1>to the north. This central position is described in Joshua

688
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:23.960
<v Speaker 1>eighteen eleven through twenty eight, where the boundaries of Benjamin's

689
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:29.719
<v Speaker 1>inheritance are detailed. The land included significant cities such as Jericho, Bethel, Gibbeon,

690
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:33.559
<v Speaker 1>and Jerusalem, although Jerusalem was not fully under Israelite control

691
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 1>until later history. Significant historical significance, the tribe of Benjamin

692
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:42.840
<v Speaker 1>played a crucial role in several key biblical events. One

693
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of the most notable figures is the tribe of the

694
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.320
<v Speaker 1>tribe is King Saul, the first king of Israel. As

695
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:51.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned in First Samuel nine, Verses one through two. Saul's

696
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:54.519
<v Speaker 1>reign marked the transition from the period of the judges

697
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to the establishment of the monarchy. Another significant event involving

698
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the tribe and the is the Civil War described in

699
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Judges nineteen, chapter nineteen through chapter twenty one. The incident

700
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:12.039
<v Speaker 1>began with a grievous crime committed in Gibbah, a Benjamite city,

701
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.639
<v Speaker 1>leading to the conflict between Benjamin and the other Israelite tribes.

702
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>The war nearly led to the tribe's extinction, but the

703
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:22.000
<v Speaker 1>remaining Benjamites were preserved through a series of measures to

704
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:27.559
<v Speaker 1>ensure their survival and continuity noble figures. Apart from King Saul,

705
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the tribe Benjamin produced several other notable figures, such as

706
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Mordecai and Esther. Key figures in the Book of Esther

707
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:39.719
<v Speaker 1>were Benjaminites, who played pivotal roles in saving the Jewish

708
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:43.559
<v Speaker 1>people from destruction during the Persian Empire. The apostle Paul,

709
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.920
<v Speaker 1>originally named Saul, was also from the tribe of Benjamin,

710
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.480
<v Speaker 1>as he himself states in Philippians three, verse five, circumcised

711
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.719
<v Speaker 1>on the eighth day of the people of Israel of

712
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrews of Hebrews. As to

713
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the law of Pharisee. Prophetic messianic connections, the tribe of

714
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin is mentioned in various prophetic contexts. In the Blessings

715
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:09.519
<v Speaker 1>of Jacob, Benjamin is described as a ravenous wolf in

716
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Genesis forty nine twenty seven, which some interpret as a

717
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:17.400
<v Speaker 1>reference to the tribe's warrior nature and its future military exploits.

718
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Moses's blessing in Deuteronomy thirty through twelve highlights Benjamin's favored status, saying,

719
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 1>let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,

720
00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:29.440
<v Speaker 1>for he shields him all day long. And the one

721
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:34.159
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord Yahweh loves rest between his shoulders. Cultural

722
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and religious contributions. The tribe's central location contributed to its

723
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:42.199
<v Speaker 1>involvement in religious and cultural developments in Israel. The city

724
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of Gibeon, within Benjamin's territory, was a significant religious center

725
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.840
<v Speaker 1>during the time of the United Monarchy. Additionally, the proximity

726
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of Jerusalem allowed the Benjamines to play a role in

727
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the religious life of the nation, especially after the establishment

728
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.199
<v Speaker 1>of the Temple of Solomon. Legacy. Despite its small size,

729
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:04.559
<v Speaker 1>the Tribe of Benjamin the Tribe of Benjamin's Legacy is

730
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.679
<v Speaker 1>marked by its resilience and contributions to Israel's history. Its

731

733
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 1>describes the left handed warriors of Benjamin. The tribes enduring

734
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:21.960

<v Speaker 1>real quick. We'll stop at verse thirty eight so we

786
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:51.119
<v Speaker 1>can read a little further into Saul's generation, real quick,

787
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Saul's lineage. You know what we'll finish. We'll go all

788
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the way to forty. So Aziel had sons whose name

789
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:00.679
<v Speaker 1>this is verse thirty eight that we're going to read.

790
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Now we're going to go to forty. So let's do that.

791
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Aziel had six sons who names were these Azrakham, bou

792
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:16.920
<v Speaker 1>cheru Ishmael, Shariah, Obadiah, and Hainan. All these were the

<v Speaker 1>were Ulam his first born, Joush the second, and Eliphat

795
00:54:26.599 --> 00:54:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Elflet the third. The sons of Ulam were mighty men

796
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:35.199
<v Speaker 1>of valor archers. They had many sons and grandsons, one

797
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:38.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty and all they were the sons of Benjamin.

798
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:44.639
<v Speaker 1>So let's look at the SAAL's lineage. Verses thirty three

799
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:48.960
<v Speaker 1>through forty detailed the lineage of Saul, Israel's first king.

800
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:53.239
<v Speaker 1>This highlights the historical and spiritual significance of Saul's family

801
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and their impact on Israel's monarchy. Saul's lineage. Let's go

802
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:02.559
<v Speaker 1>over that. Saul, the first King of Israel, is a

803
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:05.880
<v Speaker 1>significant figure in the Biblical history, and his lineage is

804
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:09.000
<v Speaker 1>rooted in the tribe of Benjamin. The tribe of Benjamin

805
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from

806
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Jacob's youngest son, Benjamin. Saul's ancestry is detailed in the

807
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Old Testament, providing insight into his family background and the

808
00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:25.599
<v Speaker 1>tribal affiliation. The tribe of Benjamin holds a unique position

809
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:27.960
<v Speaker 1>among the tribes of Israel, known for their valor and

810
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:31.800
<v Speaker 1>skill in battle. The Benjamines were a small but formidable tribe.

811
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:35.000
<v Speaker 1>In Genesis thirty five twenty four, Benjamin is listed as

812
00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:37.239
<v Speaker 1>one of the sons of Jacob and Rachel, making him

813
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:41.039
<v Speaker 1>a full brother of Joseph. The tribe's territory was located

814
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:45.440
<v Speaker 1>between the tribes of Judah and Ephrium, a strategically significant

815
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.920
<v Speaker 1>area that included the city of Jerusalem. Kish, father of Saul.

816
00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Saul's father, Kish was introduced in First Samuel nine, verses

817
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.480
<v Speaker 1>one through two. Now there was a man in a

818
00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:59.599
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin whose name was Kish son of a Biel, the

819
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:03.199
<v Speaker 1>son of Zoror, the son of Beccarath, the son of

820
00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:07.159
<v Speaker 1>aphaia A Benjamine, a mighty man of Valor. He had

821
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:11.599
<v Speaker 1>a son named Saul, a choice and handsome young man

822
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.519
<v Speaker 1>who was who was no one more handsome among the

823
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Israelites than he, and he stood a head taller than

824
00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:22.360
<v Speaker 1>any other people. Kish is descendant described as a man

825
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of wealth influence within the tribe of Benjamin, indicating that

826
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Saul came from a family of some prominence genealogical line.

827
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:35.599
<v Speaker 1>The genealogical line of Saul is further elaborated in First

828
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles eight, verse thirty three and First Chronicles nine, verse

829
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:43.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine, which state Neer was the father of kish

830
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Kiss was the father of Saul, and Saul was the

831
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:52.119
<v Speaker 1>father of Jonathan, Malachi, Shua, and Benedab and Eshball. The

832
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:57.119
<v Speaker 1>lineage highlight Saul's direct descendant from Near, establishing his place

833
00:56:57.239 --> 00:57:01.360
<v Speaker 1>within the border the broader family structure of the tribe

834
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of Benjamin Saul's sons. Saul had several sons, the most

835
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.960
<v Speaker 1>notable being Jonathan, who is renowned for his close relationship

836
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:13.039
<v Speaker 1>with David, the future King of Israel. Jonathan's loyalty to

837
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:16.480
<v Speaker 1>David despite his father. Saul's animosity towards David is a

838
00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:20.960
<v Speaker 1>testament of his character and faithfulness. Saul's other sons, Malachi,

839
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Shua and Abinadab and esh Bel also known as Ishbasheth

840
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:31.000
<v Speaker 1>s boss Heath, played various roles in the events following

841
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Sal's reign. Tribal significance. The Tribe of Benjamin's significance is

842
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:38.480
<v Speaker 1>underscored by the fact that Israel's first king was chosen

843
00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:42.239
<v Speaker 1>among them. This choice reflects God's sovereign will and the

844
00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:46.239
<v Speaker 1>fulfillment of his promise for Israel. Despite the eventual decline

845
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:49.159
<v Speaker 1>in Sal's dynasty, the Tribe of Benjamin continue to play

846
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a vital role in Israel's history, particularly during the period

847
00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:56.559
<v Speaker 1>of the divided Kingdom and the return from exile conclusion.

848
00:57:57.159 --> 00:57:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Sal's lineage, rooted in the Tribe of Benjamin, provides a

849
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.159
<v Speaker 1>backdrop for understanding his rise to kingship and the subsequent

850
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:07.760
<v Speaker 1>events of his reign. His family's prominence and the tribe's

851
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:13.599
<v Speaker 1>maritual are martial reputations that the stage for Saul's initial

852
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:17.400
<v Speaker 1>success as the king, even as his personal failings and

853
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:20.960
<v Speaker 1>disobedience to God led to his downfall. The legacy of

854
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Saul's lineage is intertwined within the broader narrative of Israel's

855
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:30.199
<v Speaker 1>history and God's unfolding plan for his people. Okay, next

856
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:34.079
<v Speaker 1>we have the detailed genealogies reflect God's sovereign hand in history,

857
00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:39.280
<v Speaker 1>orchestrating events and lineage to fulfill his purpose. We'll look

858
00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:42.239
<v Speaker 1>a little deeper into God's sovereignty. Real quick, this was

859
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:47.679
<v Speaker 1>all one continuous This chapter is like one continuous read. Okay,

860
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:49.719
<v Speaker 1>so I went all the way through. So we'll go

861
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:51.519
<v Speaker 1>over some of these notes and then we'll do a

862
00:58:51.559 --> 00:58:54.599
<v Speaker 1>detailed description of what we just read. We'll do our

863
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:57.320
<v Speaker 1>practical applications, and then we'll do some verses that connect

864
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to this chapter eight. Okay, so definition and scope God's

865
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:05.800
<v Speaker 1>sovereignty will look a little deeper into that refers to

866
00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a supreme power and authority over all creation. It encompasses

867
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:13.559
<v Speaker 1>his ability to govern the universe and execute his will

868
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:18.360
<v Speaker 1>without any external influence or hindrance. This concept is foundational

869
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to understanding God's nature and his relationship with the world.

870
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Biblical foundation. The Bible consistently affirms God's sovereignty in Isaiah

871
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:31.280
<v Speaker 1>forty six, verses nine through ten, God declares, I am God,

872
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.519
<v Speaker 1>and there is no other. I am God, and there

873
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:38.079
<v Speaker 1>is none like me. Declaring the end, from the beginning

874
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and from ancient times what is still to come, I say,

875
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:45.000
<v Speaker 1>my purpose will stand in all my good pleasure, I

876
00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:49.440
<v Speaker 1>will accomplish. This passage highlights God's unique ability to declare

877
00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and accomplish his purpose, and the New Testament Ephesians one,

878
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:58.239
<v Speaker 1>verse eleven states in him we are also chosen as

879
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:02.159
<v Speaker 1>God's own, having been predestined according to the plan of

880
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Him who works out everything by the counsel of his will.

881
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:10.559
<v Speaker 1>This verse underscores the belief that God orchestrates all events

882
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>according to his divine plan. Attributes of sovereignty omnipotence. God's

883
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>sovereignty is closely linked to his omnipotence, meaning he possesses

884
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>unlimited power. Jeremiah proclaims in Jeremiah thirty two seventeen, Ah

885
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Lord God, you have made the heavens and the earth

886
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too

887
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:44.639
<v Speaker 1>difficult for you. Omniscience, I guess it is omnience. Omnience.

888
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to say this. Omniscience. I guess

889
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>omni since god sovereignty is also tied to his omniscience

890
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:56.519
<v Speaker 1>also known as nature. Okay, I guess omniscience. Psalms one

891
01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>seven states great is our Lord, mighty empower, understanding has

892
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>no limit. Next, we have providence. God's sovereignty is evident

893
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in his providential care for creation. Matthew ten twenty nine

894
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>through thirty one illustrates this are not two sparrows sold

895
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>for a penny, yet not one of them will fall

896
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:21.559
<v Speaker 1>to the ground apart from the will of your father.

897
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>And even the very hairs on your head are all numbered,

898
01:01:26.360 --> 01:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>so do not be afraid. You are worth more than

899
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>many sparrows. So every hair on your head is numbered.

900
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And even though we get older and we start losing

901
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>our hair, I'm not really losing mind too much yet,

902
01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>but still it's coming. Though. Maybe maybe I'll keep this

903
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>head of hair. We'll think about it. But the very

904
01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>hairs on your head are all numbered, so that's very interesting,

905
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:56.679
<v Speaker 1>and we're obviously worth more than many sparrows. Okay, we

906
01:01:56.719 --> 01:02:01.119
<v Speaker 1>got to understand that human responsibility and free will by

907
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>God as sovereign. The Bible also teaches human responsibility and

908
01:02:04.599 --> 01:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>free will. This is a complex interplay where God's sovereign

909
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>will will and human choices coexist. Proverbs nineteen verse Proverbs sixteen,

910
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:20.679
<v Speaker 1>verse nine reflects this balance. A man's heart plans his course,

911
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>but the Lord Yahweh determines his steps. Sovereignty and salvation.

912
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>God's sovereignty is particularly emphasized in the context of salvation.

913
01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Romans nine fifteen through sixteen states, for he has for

914
01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:39.039
<v Speaker 1>he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom

915
01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom

916
01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:46.559
<v Speaker 1>I have compassion. So then it does not depend on

917
01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a man's desire or effort, but God's mercy. This passage

918
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>highlights God's sovereign choice and granting mercy and salvation sovereignty

919
01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:59.679
<v Speaker 1>in history. Throughout history, God's sovereignty is evident in his

920
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>contry over nations and events. Daniel two twenty one declares

921
01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>he changes the times and seasons. He removes kings and

922
01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>establishes them. He gives wisdom to the rise and knowledge

923
01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:19.239
<v Speaker 1>to the discerning. Worship and trust. Recognizing God's sovereignty leads

924
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to worship and trust. Psalm's one of three nineteen affirms

925
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the Lord Yahweh has established his throne in the heaven,

926
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and his kingdom rules overall. Believers are called the trust

927
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>in God's sovereign rule, knowing that He works all things

928
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:40.679
<v Speaker 1>for good Romans eight twenty eight conclusion. God's sovereignty is

929
01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a central theme in the scripture, affirming his ultimate authority

930
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and control over all things. It provides believers with assurance

931
01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and hope, knowing that God's purposes will ultimately prevail. All right,

932
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>so that's the end of the chapter. Let's go go

933
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:04.559
<v Speaker 1>ahead and do a detailed account of what we just read. First,

934
01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Chronicles eight one through forty provides a detailed, often complex

935
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin, focusing on the restoration, prominence,

936
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>prominence in Jerusalem, and the family line of Israel's first king, Saul.

937
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It highlights God's grace in raising up a diminished tribe

938
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>nearly destroyed in Judges, and emphasizes the importance of lineage

939
01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:34.119
<v Speaker 1>leadership and maintaining ties to the Holy City, restoration and grace.

940
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>The tribe of Benjamin was reduced to only six hundred

941
01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>men during the period of Judges Judges twenty, but this

942
01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>chapter shows their remarkable recovery and growth. It highlights that

943
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>God can raise up and use what seems small, weaker,

944
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>insignificant for his purposes. Emphasis on Jerusalem. The text repeatedly

945
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>mentions Benjamin's living in Jerusalem, First Chronicles eight twenty eight,

946
01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>reinforcing their role in the city and the temple's history,

947
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>even though it was captured by David's tribe Judah. The

948
01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:10.559
<v Speaker 1>line of King Saul. The chapter gives significant attention to

949
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the lineage of Saul, the first King of Israel, and

950
01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:16.559
<v Speaker 1>his son Jonathan. This sets the stage for historical narrative

951
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of First Chronicles ten, which begins with the death of Saul.

952
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Significance of names. The preservation of these names, many otherwise unknown,

953
01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>signifies that God keeps the memory of his people alive.

954
01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Mighty men of Valor. The chapter concludes by highlighting the

955
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>descendants of Ulem, specifically noting their skill as mighty men

956
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:42.519
<v Speaker 1>of Valor and archers. First Chronicles eight, verse forty emphasises

957
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the tribe strength. What's the contextual purpose? Guys, I am

958
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:50.119
<v Speaker 1>shouting yan, which I do not like to do with you. Guys.

959
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:56.039
<v Speaker 1>I apologize. I had a very long day to day.

960
01:05:56.039 --> 01:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I went to the library my kids about eleven excuse

961
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>me to meet with my kid's teacher, and then we

962
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>went to the mall after that, and we we spent

963
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>about five or six hours at the mall, at the

964
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Ontario Mills Mall, and got to eat some amazing steak,

965
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:17.079
<v Speaker 1>which was cool, you know, got to take my wife

966
01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>out for steak. We were celebrating something and then well

967
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:24.119
<v Speaker 1>it was cool. But we spent about five hours or

968
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>something or four hours, I don't know. We got home

969
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>at about five o'clock. So sorry about the yawn. Please

970
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>excuse me. I'll do my best not to do that.

971
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:37.559
<v Speaker 1>What's the contextual purpose? Written post exile, likely by Ezra,

972
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:41.519
<v Speaker 1>this genealogy was intended to motivate the returning Benjamines to

973
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>work with the tribe of Judah and rebuilding the temple

974
01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:47.559
<v Speaker 1>and restoring the nation, highlighting their shared history and the

975
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:51.079
<v Speaker 1>aphortance of their ancestral land. It also serves as a

976
01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:55.079
<v Speaker 1>reminder that even in a broken family line, god fulfills

977
01:06:55.119 --> 01:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>his promises perfect So we'll go over some practical applications.

978
01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>That is the end of chapter eight. The end of

979
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>chapter eight, let's do some practical applications. Value of heritage,

980
01:07:14.639 --> 01:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>reflect on your own spiritual heritage, and the legacy you

981
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are building for your future generations. How can you honor

982
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and continue the faith of those who came before you. Next,

983
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>trust in God's plan. Just as God worked through the

984
01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:31.239
<v Speaker 1>generations of Benjamin, Trust that He is working through the

985
01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>details of your life, even when they seem mundane and insignificant. Next,

986
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:40.679
<v Speaker 1>we have roll in God's story. Recognize that each person

987
01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>as a role in God's redemptive story. Consider how you

988
01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:48.199
<v Speaker 1>can contribute to His kingdom purposes in your community and beyond.

989
01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Perfect additional scriptures that connect. We have Genesis thirty five,

990
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>verses sixteen through eighteen, the birth of Benjamin and the

991
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>significance of his name. Then we have First Samuel nine,

992
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:05.559
<v Speaker 1>verses one through two, the introduction of Saul a Benjamite

993
01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>as Israel's first king. Then we have Romans eleven, verse one,

994
01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Paul A Benjamine speaks of God's continued faithfulness to Israel.

995
01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Then we have Philippians three, verse five, Paul references his

996
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>heritage as a Benjaminite, highlighting the abhorreance of identity in Christ. Right.

997
01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's all good stuff, all good stuff. So let's

998
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:34.159
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and move to First Chronicles nine and guys,

999
01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>we've been kind of going for a little over an

1000
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>hour now, so I will probably do chapter nine and

1001
01:08:42.680 --> 01:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>then i'll see where we're at. I'll see how long

1002
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>chapter nine goes. So we have about fifty minutes. So

1003
01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>if I can fit all that into fifty minutes, that'd

1004
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>be nice, or we might have to go to chapter ten.

1005
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:58.239
<v Speaker 1>But let me just see something real quick. I want

1006
01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:03.119
<v Speaker 1>to check chapter ten real quick. Syew long it is? Oh,

1007
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>chapter ten is super short. All right, let's go ahead

1008
01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and work on nine. I might be able to fit

1009
01:09:10.399 --> 01:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>ten in. All right, So introduction to chapter nine. Let's

1010
01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>do a quick introduction real quick for chapter nine. It

1011
01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>says first Chronicles nine takes on. It takes us on

1012
01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a journey back in time, recording the events that happened

1013
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>when the Israelites returned from exile to Jerusalem. The chapter

1014
01:09:31.880 --> 01:09:35.479
<v Speaker 1>brings out the necessity of keeping records, illustrating how the

1015
01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Israelites trace their genealogies, and highlighting the roles and duties

1016
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:42.239
<v Speaker 1>of the levites and gatekeepers in the newly rebuilt temple.

1017
01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:46.399
<v Speaker 1>The chapter ends on a somber note, recalling King Saul's

1018
01:09:46.439 --> 01:09:51.279
<v Speaker 1>lineage and his tragic end. Okay, So let's go ahead

1019
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and jump down here to my teaching points. All right,

1020
01:09:56.840 --> 01:10:05.439
<v Speaker 1>So you uh take a drink of water in the

1021
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>military if you get tired, all they tell you. They

1022
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>don't tell you to drink coffee. When you're in basic training.

1023
01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:14.159
<v Speaker 1>They tell you to drink water. Drink water. Hopefully it

1024
01:10:14.199 --> 01:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>works tonight. All right, here we go. First Chronicles, chapter nine,

1025
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>verse one, priest and Levites in Jerusalem. So all Israel

1026
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:33.680
<v Speaker 1>was recorded by genealogies, and indeed they were inscribed in

1027
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was

1028
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:42.239
<v Speaker 1>carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. And

1029
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:45.239
<v Speaker 1>the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their

1030
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:53.239
<v Speaker 1>cities were Israelites, priest, Levites, and Nethnium. Okay, not nepheline.

1031
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:58.279
<v Speaker 1>But m all right, guys, and uh, let's go ahead

1032
01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and check out restoration in return. So first Chronicles nine,

1033
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>verse two states now the first to resettle their own

1034
01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:09.399
<v Speaker 1>property in their cities were Israelites, priests, levites, and temple servants.

1035
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what Nephnium is. This verse underscores the theme of

1036
01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:18.199
<v Speaker 1>restoration as God brings back his people to their land.

1037
01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>The themes of restoration in return are central in the

1038
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Biblical narrative, reflecting God's retentive plan for his people. These

1039
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:33.319
<v Speaker 1>themes are woven throughout the Old the New Testaments, illustrating

1040
01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:39.079
<v Speaker 1>God's faithfulness, mercy, and the fulfillment of his promises. Restoration

1041
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>often includes the return of God's people to a state

1042
01:11:42.880 --> 01:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of spiritual, physical, and communal wholeness, while return frequently refers

1043
01:11:49.640 --> 01:11:53.199
<v Speaker 1>to the physical or spiritual journey back to God or

1044
01:11:53.239 --> 01:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the promised land. Old Testament contexts the exilent return of Israel.

1045
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>The Babylonian exile is a pivotal event in the Old Testament,

1046
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>where the Israelites were taken captive due to their disobedience

1047
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:13.199
<v Speaker 1>and idolatry. The prophets such as Jeremiah and Ezekiel foretold

1048
01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>both the exile and the eventual return. Jeremiah twenty nine,

1049
01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>verse ten states, for this is what the Lord Yahweh says,

1050
01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>when seventy years for Babylon are complete, I will attend

1051
01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to you and confirm my promise to restore you to

1052
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>this place. The return from exile under leaders like Zeibal,

1053
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Ezra and Aomiah marks a significant period of restoration, as

1054
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:44.039
<v Speaker 1>the Israelites rebuilt Jerusalem and the Temple, renewing the covenant,

1055
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>their covenant with God. Prophetic promises of restoration. The prophets

1056
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>frequently spoke of a future restoration that transcended the physical

1057
01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:58.039
<v Speaker 1>return from exile. Isaiah sixty one to four declares, they

1058
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:01.359
<v Speaker 1>will rebuild the ancient ruins. It will restore the places

1059
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>long devastated. They will renew the ruined cities, the desolation

1060
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of many generations. This restoration is often depicted as both

1061
01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:13.359
<v Speaker 1>a physical and spiritual renewal, pointing to the coming of

1062
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom Covenanial restoration.

1063
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:21.239
<v Speaker 1>The concept of restoration is deeply tied to the covenant

1064
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>relationship between God and Israel. In Deuteronomy thirty verse three,

1065
01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Moses speaks of God's promise to restore his people. Then

1066
01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the Lord God Yahweh will restore you from Then the

1067
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Lord Yahweh, your God, will restore you from your captivity

1068
01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and have compassion on you, and gather you from the

1069
01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:43.359
<v Speaker 1>nations where He has scattered you. This restoration is contingent,

1070
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>contingent upon Israel's repentance and the return to God. New

1071
01:13:48.920 --> 01:13:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Testament fulfillment Jesus as the Restorer. In the New Testament,

1072
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the promise of restoration.

1073
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>He restores the broken relationship between God and humanity through

1074
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:05.279
<v Speaker 1>his death and resurrection. Acts three twenty one speaks of Jesus,

1075
01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:09.039
<v Speaker 1>whom heaven must receive until the time comes from God

1076
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to restore everything as he promised long ago through his

1077
01:14:12.319 --> 01:14:18.079
<v Speaker 1>holy prophets spiritual restoration. The New Testament emphasizes spiritual restoration

1078
01:14:18.199 --> 01:14:21.199
<v Speaker 1>through the work of the Holy Spirit. Believers are called

1079
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to be restored to a right relationship with God, as

1080
01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:28.079
<v Speaker 1>seen in Galatian six, verse one. Brothers, if someone is

1081
01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>caught in a trespass, you, who are spiritual, should restore

1082
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:37.199
<v Speaker 1>him with a spirit of gentleness. Return of Christ the

1083
01:14:37.279 --> 01:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>ultimate return and restoration of esteological pointing to the second

1084
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:46.439
<v Speaker 1>coming of Christ. Revelation twenty one, verses three through four

1085
01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>describes the final restoration. And I heard a loud voice

1086
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:52.439
<v Speaker 1>from the throne, saying, behold, the dwelling place of God

1087
01:14:52.520 --> 01:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>is with men, and He will dwell with them. They

1088
01:14:55.680 --> 01:14:58.239
<v Speaker 1>will be His people, and God himself will be with

1089
01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:01.479
<v Speaker 1>them as their God. They will wipe away every tear

1090
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>for their eyes, and there will be no more death

1091
01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and mourning or crying or pain. The former things have

1092
01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>passed away. Conclusion. The themes of restoration and return are

1093
01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>integral to understanding God's redemptive work throughout the Bible. They

1094
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>highlight God's desire to bring his people back to himself,

1095
01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>restoring what was once lost through sin and disobedience. These

1096
01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>themes find the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the

1097
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>promise of his people, where complete restoration will be realized

1098
01:15:33.199 --> 01:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in the New Heaven and New Earth. Amen. Perfect, All right, So,

1099
01:15:47.640 --> 01:15:50.399
<v Speaker 1>all right, so we read verses one and two. Right,

1100
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:56.880
<v Speaker 1>So first Chronicles nine. Verses one through two serves as

1101
01:15:56.920 --> 01:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a concluding summary for the preceding genieologies. Highlighted that all

1102
01:16:02.840 --> 01:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Israel was recorded, yet Judah was exiled to Babylon due

1103
01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to unfaithfulness. It pivots to the post exile era nothing,

1104
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:19.399
<v Speaker 1>noting that the first returning inhabitants priests Levite's servants who

1105
01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>resettled in their cities, making a restoration of their covenant identity.

1106
01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>As summary and warning, this verse acts as a bridge,

1107
01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:34.359
<v Speaker 1>concluding the genealogies from chapters one through eight. It refers

1108
01:16:34.359 --> 01:16:37.239
<v Speaker 1>to an official but not now lost book of the

1109
01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>kings of Israel and Judah. The mention of the exile

1110
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to Babylon serves as a stark historically reminder that their

1111
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:47.359
<v Speaker 1>captivity was a direct consequence of their disobedience and transgression

1112
01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>against God. First Chronicles nine, verse two. This verse shift's

1113
01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:58.319
<v Speaker 1>focus on the first inhabitants remnant returning from exile. It

1114
01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:01.479
<v Speaker 1>highlights the restoration of the communit unity, emphasizing the return

1115
01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of priests, levites and temple servants nethal nim nethanim okay,

1116
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.199
<v Speaker 1>this is what servants means, essential for restoring worship and

1117
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the covenant life in Jerusalem. Significance. The passage serves to

1118
01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:21.039
<v Speaker 1>re establish the identity of God's people after the exile,

1119
01:17:21.319 --> 01:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>showing that despite their post unfaithfulness, God is faithful to

1120
01:17:25.479 --> 01:17:29.079
<v Speaker 1>his covenant and verse one has brought a remnant back

1121
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to resume their spiritual duties. In verse two, all right,

1122
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:39.039
<v Speaker 1>so there we go. Now, let's go ahead and read

1123
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>First Chronicles nine, verse three. Dwellers in Jerusalem. Now in Jerusalem,

1124
01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the children of Judah Dwelt and some of the children

1125
01:17:49.239 --> 01:17:54.079
<v Speaker 1>of Benjamin and of the children of Ephrium and Manassai, Uthai,

1126
01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the son of Imihud, the son of Amri, the son

1127
01:17:57.760 --> 01:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of Imri, the son of Benai, of the descendants of Perez,

1128
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the son of Judah, of the Shilo Nites Shilo Nites,

1129
01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Asiah the firstborn of his sons, of the sons of Zira, Jerul,

1130
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>wit Joel and their brother in six hundred and ninety,

1131
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:23.319
<v Speaker 1>of the sons of Benjamin, Salu the son of Meshulam,

1132
01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:30.279
<v Speaker 1>the son of Haravayah, the son of Hashanua, Ibenyah, the

1133
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:38.439
<v Speaker 1>son of Jerome, Jeroham jeraham Elah, the son of Uzi,

1134
01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the son of McCrae Wait, mike Rai, mike try Mashu,

1135
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Lamb the son of Shephatai, Shephatai, the son of Ryul,

1136
01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the son of Ibijah, and the brethren. According to the

1137
01:18:56.600 --> 01:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>generations nine hundred and fifty six, all these men were

1138
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>heads of the father's house and fought and then father's

1139
01:19:04.720 --> 01:19:10.239
<v Speaker 1>houses okay, dwellers in Jerusalem. So in First Chronicles nine,

1140
01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:13.239
<v Speaker 1>verses three through nine, lists the first group of posts

1141
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Exalic x Wait exile, exilic settlers, compromising Judah, Benjamin, Ephrium,

1142
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and Manassai who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity.

1143
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>This passage highlights God's faithfulness and restoring a remnant of

1144
01:19:28.560 --> 01:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>their homeland, rebuilding their community, and re establishing the temple

1145
01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:37.199
<v Speaker 1>worship as a testament to his covenant. A remnant returns.

1146
01:19:37.319 --> 01:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>This verse highlights the initial settlers returning from Babylonian captivity,

1147
01:19:42.079 --> 01:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>emphasizing God's mercy and restoring the people after the seventy

1148
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>year exile. Rebuilding Jerusalem. The focus is on the resettlement

1149
01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:54.479
<v Speaker 1>of the city that God chose for his dwelling, unification

1150
01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of tribes. While mostly Judah and Benjamin the Southern Kingdom,

1151
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the mention of Ephrium Assi from the former Northern Kingdom

1152
01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:06.720
<v Speaker 1>shows the reuniting of God's people. The lineage matters. The

1153
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>detailed listing of families descendants of Pared, Shalah and Benjamin

1154
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>underscores the importance of keeping the genealogy intact for religious,

1155
01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:22.079
<v Speaker 1>so societal, and prophetic purposes. Preparation for service. These settlers

1156
01:20:22.119 --> 01:20:25.039
<v Speaker 1>were crucial in laying the foundation for rebuilding the temple

1157
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and restoring the daily and orderly worship of God. In summary,

1158
01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:34.439
<v Speaker 1>First Chronicles nine, Verses three through nine, signifies the restoration

1159
01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of covenant life, showing that despite past disobedience and exile,

1160
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:41.039
<v Speaker 1>God is faithful to bring his people back to the

1161
01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:46.640
<v Speaker 1>place of his presence to continue his redemptive work. Okay,

1162
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>so there we go. Now we're going to be talking

1163
01:20:49.560 --> 01:21:00.880
<v Speaker 1>about the priest at Jerusalem. Okay. Of the priests Jadiah,

<v Speaker 1>the son of Ahtab, the officer over the House of God.

1168
01:21:22.439 --> 01:21:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Adiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the

01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:52.800

1173
01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>one thousand, seven hundred and sixty. They were very able

1174
01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:59.680
<v Speaker 1>men for work for the service of the House of God.

1175
01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, So let's see what the my notes say.

1176
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Sorry to me to drop my phone. See what my

1177
01:22:06.279 --> 01:22:11.479
<v Speaker 1>notes say about the priestly duties in Verses ten to thirteen.

1178
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>In the Biblical context, priestly duties encompasses the roles and

1179
01:22:17.880 --> 01:22:22.039
<v Speaker 1>responsibilities assigned to the priest, primarily from the tribe of Levi,

1180
01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>who served as mediators between God and the people of Israel.

1181
01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:30.159
<v Speaker 1>These duties are detailed extensively in the Old Testament, particularly

1182
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The

1183
01:22:34.680 --> 01:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>priesthood was established by God to maintain the spiritual and

1184
01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:42.279
<v Speaker 1>ceremonial life of the nation, ensuring that the covenantial relationship

1185
01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:48.479
<v Speaker 1>between God and his people was upheld. Consecration and ordination.

1186
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:52.159
<v Speaker 1>The priestly duties began with the consecration and ordination of

1187
01:22:52.199 --> 01:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Aaron and his sons, as described in Exodus twenty eight.

1188
01:22:56.159 --> 01:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>In twenty chapter twenty nine, God commended Moses to anoin

1189
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Aaron and his sons, setting them apart for service, take

1190
01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the anointing oil anoint him by pouring it on his

1191
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:12.680
<v Speaker 1>head Exodus twenty nine to seven. This anointing symbolized the

1192
01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:18.039
<v Speaker 1>sanctification and dedication to God's service sacrificial system. One of

1193
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the primary duties of the priest was to oversee this

1194
01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:25.680
<v Speaker 1>sacrificial system which was central to Israel's worship and atonement

1195
01:23:26.039 --> 01:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>for sin. Leviticus Chapters one through chapter seven outlining various

1196
01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:36.039
<v Speaker 1>offerings including burnt offerings, grain offerings, peace offerings, sin offerings,

1197
01:23:36.039 --> 01:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and guilt offerings. The priests were responsible for performing these

1198
01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:45.640
<v Speaker 1>sacrifices according to their specific regulations given by God. The

1199
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:48.680
<v Speaker 1>priests shall burn all of it on the altar as

1200
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a burnt offering, an offering made by fire and pleasing

1201
01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:56.199
<v Speaker 1>aroma to the Lord Leviticus one verse nine. Teaching an instruction.

1202
01:23:56.760 --> 01:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Priests also held the responsibility of teaching the law to

1203
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the people. They were to instruct Israel in God's statutes

1204
01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:06.439
<v Speaker 1>and commandments, ensuring that the nation lived in accordance with

1205
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:10.319
<v Speaker 1>His will. For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge,

1206
01:24:10.760 --> 01:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he

1207
01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>is a messenger of the Lord Yahweh of Host Malachi two,

1208
01:24:18.319 --> 01:24:24.159
<v Speaker 1>verse seven. Intercession and blessing. Intercession was another critical aspect

1209
01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:29.319
<v Speaker 1>of priestly duties. Priests acting as intermediaries, offering prayers and

1210
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>supplications on behalf of the people. They also pronounced blessings,

1211
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>as seen in the Aaronic Aronic Blessing the Lord Yahweh

1212
01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>has blessed you to keep you. The Lord Yahweh, make

1213
01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

1214
01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:48.039
<v Speaker 1>The Lord Yahweh lift up his continents upon you and

1215
01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>give you peace. Number six twenty four through twenty six.

1216
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Maintenance of the Tabernacle and temple. The priests were charged

1217
01:24:56.920 --> 01:24:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with the care and maintenance of the tabernacle, and later

1218
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:03.079
<v Speaker 1>the teen were God's presence dwell among his people. This

1219
01:25:03.199 --> 01:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>included ensuring the sacred space that was kept holy and

1220
01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:11.680
<v Speaker 1>performing rituals such as lighting the lamps, burning incense, and

1221
01:25:11.760 --> 01:25:16.000
<v Speaker 1>settling out the showbread. Setting out the showbread, aaron shall

1222
01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:20.560
<v Speaker 1>burn fragrant incense on every morning that he tensed the lamps.

1223
01:25:21.399 --> 01:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Judicial functions. In additions to their religious duties, priests sometimes

1224
01:25:25.880 --> 01:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>served in judicial capacities, helping to resolve disputes and interrupt

1225
01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the law. Deuteronomy seven, verses nine through eleven describes the

1226
01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:38.880
<v Speaker 1>role in making legal decisions. Go to the levitical priests

1227
01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:41.239
<v Speaker 1>to the judge who was in the office at that time.

1228
01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Inquirer of them, and they will give you the verdict.

1229
01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Purity and holiness. Priests were required to adhere to strict

1230
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:52.399
<v Speaker 1>standards of purity and holiness, as they were representatives of

1231
01:25:52.439 --> 01:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>God to the people. Leviticus twenty one outlines various regulations

1232
01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:02.199
<v Speaker 1>concerning their conduct, marriages, and physical condition, emphasizing the need

1233
01:26:02.239 --> 01:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>for them to be set apart or holy. They must

1234
01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>be holy to their God and not profane the name

1235
01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of their God. Leviticus twenty one to six. The priestly duties,

1236
01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:17.560
<v Speaker 1>as ordained by God were integral to the spiritual life

1237
01:26:17.600 --> 01:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>of Israel, serving as a foreshadowing of the ultimate high Priest,

1238
01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ, who would fulfill and transcend these roles through

1239
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>his perfect sacrifice and eternal intercession. Perfect all right, so

1240
01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:34.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll go over a detailed description of what we just

1241
01:26:34.960 --> 01:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>read in verses ten through thirteen. First Chronicles nine. Verses

1242
01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>ten through thirteen lists the priest and Levites who return

1243
01:26:44.039 --> 01:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem, highlighting that one thy,

1244
01:26:48.119 --> 01:26:51.319
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and sixty skilled men dedicated to restoring the

1245
01:26:51.359 --> 01:26:55.840
<v Speaker 1>temple worship. These verses emphasize the restoration of priestly order,

1246
01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the importance of lineage, and God's faithfulness in rebuilding the

1247
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:04.880
<v Speaker 1>community at the judgment. Key takeaways from these verses include

1248
01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:08.319
<v Speaker 1>restoration of worship. The focus on the return of the

1249
01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:17.600
<v Speaker 1>priest Jediah, Jehorab and Jachin du Chin to restore the organized,

1250
01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:23.159
<v Speaker 1>orderly service of God's House, divine order and continuity continuity.

1251
01:27:24.119 --> 01:27:29.239
<v Speaker 1>By by listing the specific qualified priestly families, the text

1252
01:27:29.319 --> 01:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>affirms that God maintains order and continuity and worship even

1253
01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:37.479
<v Speaker 1>after a long period of exile and disruption. Able Men

1254
01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Verses thirteen. Verse thirteen highlights that these men seventeen hundred

1255
01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and sixty men were very able men for the work

1256
01:27:45.880 --> 01:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of the service of House of God, indicating their competence, strength,

1257
01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:54.319
<v Speaker 1>and commitment to these to their duties. Significance of the Remnant.

1258
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:58.399
<v Speaker 1>These verses underscore the importance of the faithful remnant who

1259
01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>returned to the to rebuild you Jerusalem, emphasizing that God's

1260
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>promises are fulfilled and his worship continues. These verses serve

1261
01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:10.520
<v Speaker 1>as a record for the spiritual leadership and the organizational

1262
01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:15.640
<v Speaker 1>structure that was essential for the re establishment of the

1263
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:21.520
<v Speaker 1>community in Jerusalem. Perfect So let's go ahead and read

1264
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:30.640
<v Speaker 1>verses fourteen through twenty seven. The Levite Gatekeepers and the

1265
01:28:30.680 --> 01:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>gatekeepers of shaloum Akab talman Ahaman and their brethren. Shalom

1266
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:43.159
<v Speaker 1>was the chief until they had been gatekeepers for the

1267
01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:45.479
<v Speaker 1>camps of the chosen of Levi at the King's gate

1268
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:51.359
<v Speaker 1>on the east. Shalum the son of Kor, the son

1269
01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:57.159
<v Speaker 1>of ebisaf Abbasaff the son of Korah, and his brethren

1270
01:28:57.239 --> 01:29:02.199
<v Speaker 1>from the Father's house house though Cora Heights Coora Heights,

1271
01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>were in charge of the work of the service gatekeepers

1272
01:29:06.039 --> 01:29:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the

1273
01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:14.239
<v Speaker 1>entrance of the camp of the Lord, and Finnihas the

1274
01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>son of Eliezer, had been the officer over them in

1275
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the time past. The Lord was with him. Zachariah, the

1276
01:29:23.399 --> 01:29:27.279
<v Speaker 1>son of Meshlabayah, was a keeper of the door of

1277
01:29:27.319 --> 01:29:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the Tabernacle of meeting. All those chosen as gatekeepers were

1278
01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and twelve. They were recorded by their genealogy

1279
01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:40.279
<v Speaker 1>and their villages. David and Samuel the Seer had appointed

1280
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:44.680
<v Speaker 1>them to their trusted office. So they and their children

1281
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>were in charge of the gates of the House of

1282
01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:50.199
<v Speaker 1>the Lord Yahweh, the house of the North and South,

1283
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:54.279
<v Speaker 1>and their brethren and their villages had come with them

1284
01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>from time to time. For seven days for in the

1285
01:29:58.680 --> 01:30:04.239
<v Speaker 1>trusted office were four chief gatekeepers. They were Levites, and

1286
01:30:04.279 --> 01:30:07.239
<v Speaker 1>they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the

1287
01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>House of God. And they lodged all around the House

1288
01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of God because they had responsibility, and they were in

1289
01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>charge of opening it every morning. Okay, So let's go

1290
01:30:19.840 --> 01:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>ahead and check out verses fourteen through twenty seven. In

1291
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>my notes, it says verse fourteen through twenty seven describe

1292
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:32.119
<v Speaker 1>the responsibilities of the Levites and Gatekeepers, illustrating the organized

1293
01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:35.399
<v Speaker 1>structure and dedication required in serving God. We'll look up

1294
01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the Levites and gatekeepers and look a little deeper into that.

1295
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>The Levites were one of the twelve tribes of Israel,

1296
01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>descended from Levi Levi, the third son of Jacob and

1297
01:30:45.640 --> 01:30:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Leah Genesis twenty nine, thirty four. The tribe of Levi

1298
01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was set apart or holy for special religious duties in

1299
01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.439
<v Speaker 1>service to God, distinct from the other tribes of Israel.

1300
01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:01.039
<v Speaker 1>This separation is rooted in the events surrounding the Golden

1301
01:31:01.119 --> 01:31:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Calf incident, where the Levites stood with Moses in support

1302
01:31:04.319 --> 01:31:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord Yahweh Exodus thirty two, twenty six through

1303
01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine. Role and duties the Levites were given the

1304
01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:17.279
<v Speaker 1>responsibility of serving the tabernacle and later in the temple,

1305
01:31:17.359 --> 01:31:20.479
<v Speaker 1>assisting the priest and their duties. They were not given

1306
01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a territorial inheritance like other tribes, but instead distributed among

1307
01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the tribes of Israel in forty eight Levitical cities in

1308

01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>seemingly minor roles in God's service are sacred, requiring faithfulness,

1366
01:35:58.119 --> 01:36:07.199
<v Speaker 1>ordering vigilance in guarding God's per come with them to

<v Speaker 1>for some reason? Did I? I don't know, see what happens?

1369
01:36:13.439 --> 01:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I start reading these notes and then I started getting

1370
01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:20.359
<v Speaker 1>mixed up, just for I'm just gonna go over this

1371
01:36:20.399 --> 01:36:26.880
<v Speaker 1>real quick. And then because I went over to Levite's

1372
01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and gatekeepers. Did I already read that for you guys?

1373
01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Or not? See this? What happens? See what's next? Okay,

1374
01:36:35.680 --> 01:36:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll just go through this real quick. The passage highlights

1375
01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the importance of order, dedication, and faithful service to God. Okay,

1376
01:36:43.960 --> 01:36:54.039
<v Speaker 1>so these passages do, okay, So hold on okay. So

1377
01:36:54.119 --> 01:36:57.159
<v Speaker 1>the gatekeepers sons of Kora were not merely door openers.

1378
01:36:57.199 --> 01:36:59.840
<v Speaker 1>They were trusted officials, some of who managed the treasures

1379
01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and temple chambers historical continuity. The rules were established by

1380
01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:06.800
<v Speaker 1>David and Samuel Lincoln, the post Exalic community back to

1381
01:37:06.840 --> 01:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>their ancestors services tent of meeting strategic security. They were

1382
01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:14.560
<v Speaker 1>positioned on all four sides of the temple, with specific

1383
01:37:14.600 --> 01:37:18.560
<v Speaker 1>responsibility for the East King's gate daily maintenance. They resided

1384
01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>around the temple to protect it, opening it daily, and

1385
01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:24.680
<v Speaker 1>managing the sacred vessels. The passages highlights the importance of order,

1386
01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:28.720

01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. So I'm going to read seventeen through twenty

1388
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:33.520
<v Speaker 1>seven because I can't remember if I did or not,

1389
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and if I did. Sorry, guys, it happened again where

1390
01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm digging into my notes and it's getting me confused.

1391
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:42.880
<v Speaker 1>But let me just do that. The Levi gatekeepers and

1392
01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the gatekeepers were Shalom Acab Telman, Ahem and brethren. Shalom

<v Speaker 1>was the chief and they have been gatekeepers for the

1394
01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:52.159
<v Speaker 1>camps of the children of Levi and the King's gate

1395
01:37:52.239 --> 01:37:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on the east. Shalom, the son of Cory, the son

1396
01:37:55.039 --> 01:37:58.399
<v Speaker 1>of Episov, and the son of Karah and his brethren

01:38:03.960 --> 01:38:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance of the

1400
01:38:06.279 --> 01:38:12.279
<v Speaker 1>camp of the Lord Yahweh, and Finias, the son of

1401
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the Eliezer, had been the officer whom over him. In

1402
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:19.039
<v Speaker 1>time passed, the Lord Yahweh was with them. Zachariad, the

1403
01:38:19.079 --> 01:38:23.319
<v Speaker 1>son of Michalemia, was the keeper of the door and

1404
01:38:24.760 --> 01:38:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the tabernacle of meeting. All those chosen as gatekeepers were

1405
01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:31.199
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and twelve. They were recorded by the genealogy

1406
01:38:31.199 --> 01:38:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and their villages. David and Samuel the Seer had appointed

1407
01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:36.600
<v Speaker 1>them in their trusted office, so had their children were

1408
01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:38.119
<v Speaker 1>in charge of the gates of the House of the

1409
01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Lord Yahweh the house of the tabernacle by assignment. The

1410
01:38:41.520 --> 01:38:44.800
<v Speaker 1>gatekeeper were assigned by four directions, the east, West, north,

1411
01:38:44.840 --> 01:38:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and south. So, guys, I didn't read this, so I'm

1412
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>glad that I read it. Forgive me, for in this

1413
01:38:50.640 --> 01:38:54.359
<v Speaker 1>trusted office were four chief gatekeepers. There were the levites,

1414
01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and they had charged over the chambers and treasuries of

1415
01:38:56.800 --> 01:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the House of God, and they lodged all around the

1416
01:38:58.880 --> 01:39:01.640
<v Speaker 1>House of God because they had responsibility. They were in

1417
01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:04.640
<v Speaker 1>charge of opening it every morning. So what I did

1418
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:06.520
<v Speaker 1>is I went over a detailed account or what I

1419
01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:08.239
<v Speaker 1>thought I just read, but I didn't read it yet.

1420
01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I read it now. So we did go over those verses.

1421
01:39:10.960 --> 01:39:13.359
<v Speaker 1>They are covered. Now We're going to jump down to

1422
01:39:13.600 --> 01:39:17.279
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty eight, and I'll jump down here so I

1423
01:39:17.279 --> 01:39:21.520
<v Speaker 1>remember that I'm in verse twenty eight on these notes. Sorry, guys,

1424
01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, forgive me. Sometimes I jump ahead or

1425
01:39:25.800 --> 01:39:30.479
<v Speaker 1>jump behind an accident. Other levite responsibilities. And I've seen

1426
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:32.399
<v Speaker 1>pastors do this before, you guys, when they have three

1427
01:39:32.399 --> 01:39:35.680
<v Speaker 1>different sections of notes, or they do do this. So

1428
01:39:36.039 --> 01:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you know I'm not the only one that's guilty of that.

1429
01:39:38.760 --> 01:39:43.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, First Chronicles nine, verse twenty eight. Other levite responsibilities.

1430
01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Verse twenty eight says, now some of them were in

1431
01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:50.720
<v Speaker 1>charge of the serving vessels. They were brought for. They

1432
01:39:50.760 --> 01:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>brought them in and took them out by count. Some

1433
01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all

1434
01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the implements of the sanctuary, and over the fine flower

1435
01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and the wine, and the oil, and the incense and spices.

1436
01:40:04.119 --> 01:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>And some of the sons of the priests made the

1437
01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:13.079
<v Speaker 1>ointment of the spices. Meth Metaitaia of the Levites, the

1438
01:40:13.079 --> 01:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>first born of Shaloom. The Chorite, had the trusted office

1439
01:40:17.640 --> 01:40:20.640
<v Speaker 1>over the things that were baked in the pans. Some

1440
01:40:20.680 --> 01:40:24.319
<v Speaker 1>of the brethren of the sons of the Chorites Chrathites,

1441
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:27.720
<v Speaker 1>were in charge of preparing the show bread for every Sabbath.

1442
01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:31.760
<v Speaker 1>These are the singers heads of the father's houses of

1443
01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and that were

1444
01:40:35.079 --> 01:40:38.359
<v Speaker 1>free from other duties. They were employed in that day

1445
01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:43.279
<v Speaker 1>and night. They were employed in that day, work day, sorry,

1446
01:40:43.359 --> 01:40:47.239
<v Speaker 1>in that workday and night. These heads of the father's

1447
01:40:47.239 --> 01:40:49.920

1448
01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:53.359
<v Speaker 1>dwelt at Jerusalem, all right, So we read verses twenty

1449
01:40:53.399 --> 01:41:00.199
<v Speaker 1>eight through thirty four. So in first Chronicles nine twenty

1450

1453
01:41:18.039 --> 01:41:21.680
<v Speaker 1>prepping bread, and singing or vital consecrated service to God.

1454
01:41:22.279 --> 01:41:26.720
<v Speaker 1>These verses emphasized stewardship, orderly worship, and the importance of

1455
01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:30.760
<v Speaker 1>daily faithfulness orderly service. In twenty eight through twenty nine,

1456
01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Levites were responsible for the inventory of sacred utensils, gold, silver,

1457
01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:39.920
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, and the supplies flour, wine, oil, incense. They

1458
01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:45.039
<v Speaker 1>counted items in and out, showing meticulous care, stewardship and accountability,

1459
01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and worship specialized duties. Specific families held specialized roles, such

1460
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:55.439
<v Speaker 1>as mixing spices, anoided priests, or preparing the weekly showbread,

1461
01:41:55.760 --> 01:42:00.720
<v Speaker 1>showing that every role, no matter how small, was sacred

1462
01:42:02.279 --> 01:42:06.199
<v Speaker 1>constant devotion. The singers musicians lived in the temple chambers

1463
01:42:06.239 --> 01:42:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that were exempt from other duties, as their service and

1464
01:42:08.800 --> 01:42:14.159
<v Speaker 1>worship was day and night. Post exotic contexts following the

1465
01:42:14.159 --> 01:42:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Babylonian exile, these regulations ensured that the newly restored worship

1466
01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:23.560
<v Speaker 1>followed the strict godly order established by King David, ensuring

1467
01:42:23.680 --> 01:42:28.640
<v Speaker 1>no chaos or improper handling of holy items application meaning

1468
01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in the mundane. The work of the Levites shows that

1469
01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:34.439
<v Speaker 1>in the day of small tasks, daily repetitive tasks are

1470
01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:40.279
<v Speaker 1>actually high value service to God, demanding faithfulness and diligence accountability.

1471
01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Just as the utensils were counted to prevent loss, these

1472
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:48.000
<v Speaker 1>verses called for care, responsibility, and serving God today worship

1473
01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:51.760
<v Speaker 1>as priority. The singer's twenty four to seven role highlights

1474
01:42:51.760 --> 01:42:57.920
<v Speaker 1>that praise is a perpetual, vital duty. Perfect there we go,

1475
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:02.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, So now we're gonna go over the family

1476
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of King Saul. Jill, the father of Gibeon, whose wife's

1477
01:43:08.399 --> 01:43:12.199
<v Speaker 1>name was Macaw, dwelt in Gibeon. His firstborn son was

1478
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:19.880
<v Speaker 1>at Abdon the zir keish Bil near Nadab Goodoor Ohio

1479
01:43:21.840 --> 01:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Zachariah and Mick Lough and micklf begot Siam all right Shimim.

1480
01:43:28.279 --> 01:43:31.600
<v Speaker 1>They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem with their

1481
01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:36.439
<v Speaker 1>brethren near begot Kish Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan,

1482
01:43:37.079 --> 01:43:44.960
<v Speaker 1>uh Malchishua a Benda dab and esh Bel. The son

1483
01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:49.119
<v Speaker 1>of Jonathan was Marie Bel, and Marie Bell begot Makaiah.

1484
01:43:49.239 --> 01:43:56.039
<v Speaker 1>The sons of Makaiah were Pithon, Malek, Taria, and it

1485
01:43:56.199 --> 01:44:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Has and it has Begot Jirah, Jarrah, begot l and

1486
01:44:01.439 --> 01:44:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Ozmaveth and Zimri, and Zimri, begot Mosa, Mosa, Begot Benaiahrafaiyah

1487
01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:13.680
<v Speaker 1>his son, Helieza his son, and Azel his son. And

1488
01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Azel had six sons whose names were these azrakham Bochuru, Ishmael, Shariah, Abadiah,

1489
01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and Hanan. And these were the sons of Azel. Okay,

1490
01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:32.279
<v Speaker 1>so that is the end of chapter nine. Let me

1491
01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:35.399
<v Speaker 1>just give you a brief description of what we just read,

1492
01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:39.279
<v Speaker 1>and then I will finish with faithfulness and service here

1493
01:44:40.079 --> 01:44:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and we'll just end on chapter nine. I'm not going

1494
01:44:42.680 --> 01:44:46.439
<v Speaker 1>to do chapter ten. First Chronicles nine thirty five through

1495
01:44:46.439 --> 01:44:49.960
<v Speaker 1>forty four acts as a bridge between the Postixalo genealogies

1496
01:44:49.960 --> 01:44:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and the narrative King Saul's death in chapter ten, repeating

1497
01:44:53.399 --> 01:44:56.760
<v Speaker 1>his lineage to highlight the transition from Saul's feil dynasty

1498
01:44:57.159 --> 01:45:03.319
<v Speaker 1>to David's rightful kingdom. It underscores God's faithfulness in preserving lines,

1499
01:45:03.439 --> 01:45:09.640
<v Speaker 1>honoring covenants, and demonstrating orderly sovereign control over history contexts

1500
01:45:09.640 --> 01:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>of repetition. These verses are nearly identical to First Chronicles

1501
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:17.039
<v Speaker 1>eight twenty nine through thirty eight serving to reintroduce Sal's

1502
01:45:17.039 --> 01:45:20.720
<v Speaker 1>family just before the account of business demise, emphasizing the

1503
01:45:20.800 --> 01:45:25.439
<v Speaker 1>shift in and continuity of Israel's leadership. A line of Salt.

1504
01:45:25.439 --> 01:45:28.239
<v Speaker 1>The passes list the key figures of Benjamin's tribe, focusing

1505
01:45:28.279 --> 01:45:31.720
<v Speaker 1>on Saul's family through his son Jonathan, emphasizing that while

1506
01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Saul failed, his line was preserved through descendants like marrab

1507
01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Bell Mehoshabeth are Mehebo Chef as seen in First Chronicles

1508
01:45:43.479 --> 01:45:47.239
<v Speaker 1>eight significance of Gibbeon. The mention of Gibbeon connects the

1509
01:45:47.279 --> 01:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>lineage to a specific location, perhaps reflecting the continued organized

1510
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and settled state of certain families after the Babylonian captivity

1511
01:45:56.159 --> 01:46:00.359
<v Speaker 1>divides sovereignty and covenant. The inclusion of this genealogy shows

1512
01:46:00.359 --> 01:46:04.039
<v Speaker 1>that God holds all things in order, that even in

1513
01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:07.479
<v Speaker 1>the wake of a failed reign, there is divine orderly purpose.

1514
01:46:08.079 --> 01:46:11.399
<v Speaker 1>It highlights David's faithfulness in honoring his purpose to Jonathan

1515
01:46:11.520 --> 01:46:15.640
<v Speaker 1>not to destroy his family line connection to Christ. Through

1516
01:46:15.640 --> 01:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the preservation of this line, the genealogy ultimately points toward

1517
01:46:19.600 --> 01:46:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the King, the true King, Jesus, who restores people from

1518
01:46:22.960 --> 01:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>spiritual exile. In essence, these verses emphasize that God's plan

1519
01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:31.960
<v Speaker 1>continued despite human failure, maintaining order and structure in both

1520
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:38.239
<v Speaker 1>history and in worship. Okay, so in my notes, I

1521
01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.800
<v Speaker 1>have faithfulness and service. The chapter concludes with a focus

1522
01:46:41.800 --> 01:46:45.560
<v Speaker 1>on faithfulness of those who served in the temple, reminding

1523
01:46:45.600 --> 01:46:48.680
<v Speaker 1>us of the importance of steadfastness in our own service

1524
01:46:48.800 --> 01:46:52.439
<v Speaker 1>to God. Faithfulness and service is a central theme in

1525
01:46:52.479 --> 01:46:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the Christian life, reflecting a commitment to God and his purposes.

1526
01:46:57.039 --> 01:47:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It is characterized by steadfastness, reliability, and dedication, and fulfilling

1527
01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>one's duties and responsibilities, both to God and to others.

1528
01:47:06.199 --> 01:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>The Bible provides numerous examples and teachings that highlight the

1529
01:47:09.520 --> 01:47:14.720
<v Speaker 1>importance of faithfulness and service biblical foundations. The concept of

1530
01:47:14.760 --> 01:47:18.680
<v Speaker 1>faithfulness and is deeply rooted in the chapter of God himself.

1531
01:47:19.840 --> 01:47:24.039
<v Speaker 1>In Deuteronomy seven, verse nine, we read know therefore that

1532
01:47:24.079 --> 01:47:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the Lord Yahweh God is God, the faithful God who

1533
01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:30.920
<v Speaker 1>keeps his covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations

1534
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:34.199
<v Speaker 1>with those who love Him and keep his commandments. God's

1535
01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:37.399
<v Speaker 1>faithfulness serves as the ultimate model for believers who are

1536
01:47:37.439 --> 01:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>called to emulate his steadfastness and their own lives. Faithfulness

1537
01:47:41.920 --> 01:47:45.279
<v Speaker 1>in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, faithfulness and

1538
01:47:45.359 --> 01:47:49.359
<v Speaker 1>services often illustrated through the lives of key figures. For instance,

1539
01:47:49.600 --> 01:47:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Moses is commended for his faithfulness in leading the Israelites

1540
01:47:53.159 --> 01:47:56.920
<v Speaker 1>out of Egypt through the wilderness. Numbers twelve, verse seven states,

1541
01:47:57.359 --> 01:47:59.760
<v Speaker 1>not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in

1542
01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:03.800
<v Speaker 1>all my house. Moses's unwavering commitment to God's commands and

1543
01:48:03.840 --> 01:48:09.000
<v Speaker 1>his leadership exemplified the essence and faithful service. Similarly, Daniel's

1544
01:48:09.039 --> 01:48:12.800
<v Speaker 1>life is a testament to faithfulness. Despite facing persecution and

1545
01:48:12.880 --> 01:48:16.359
<v Speaker 1>the threat of death, Daniel remains steadfast in his devotion

1546
01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to God and Daniel six verse four notes Thus the

1547
01:48:20.159 --> 01:48:24.520
<v Speaker 1>administrators and sattraps sought to find a charge against Daniel

1548
01:48:24.880 --> 01:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>regarding the kingdom, but they found no charge or corruption

1549
01:48:30.079 --> 01:48:34.720
<v Speaker 1>because he was trustworthy and no negligence or corruption was

1550
01:48:34.800 --> 01:48:39.039
<v Speaker 1>found in him. And The New Testament continues to emphasize

1551
01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:42.720
<v Speaker 1>faithfulness and service, particularly through the teaching of Jesus and

1552
01:48:42.760 --> 01:48:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the apostles. In the Parable of the Talents in Matthew

1553
01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:50.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty five fourteen, Jesus illustrates the importance of being faithful

1554
01:48:50.359 --> 01:48:54.399
<v Speaker 1>with what God has entrusted to us. The Master commends

1555
01:48:54.439 --> 01:48:58.239
<v Speaker 1>the faithful servant, saying, well done, good and faithful servant,

1556
01:48:58.720 --> 01:49:01.239
<v Speaker 1>You have been faithful with the few things. I will

1557
01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:03.840
<v Speaker 1>put you in charge of many things. Enter into the

1558
01:49:03.960 --> 01:49:07.880
<v Speaker 1>joy of your Master. The apostle. Paul also underscores the

1559
01:49:07.920 --> 01:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>significance of faithfulness and service. In one Corinthians four, verse two,

1560
01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:14.960
<v Speaker 1>he writes, now it is required of stewards that to

1561
01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:18.960
<v Speaker 1>be found faith, that they be found faithful. Paul him

1562
01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:22.279
<v Speaker 1>self is an example of faithfulness as he tiresly spread

1563
01:49:22.279 --> 01:49:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the gospel despite facing numerous hardships and persecutions. Faithfulness in

1564
01:49:27.039 --> 01:49:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the church, faithfulness and servicens extends to the life of

1565
01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the church, where believers are called to serve one another

1566
01:49:32.960 --> 01:49:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and the community and of Pheesians four eleven through twelve.

1567
01:49:36.439 --> 01:49:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Paul explains that Christ gave some to be apostles, some

1568
01:49:39.960 --> 01:49:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to

1569
01:49:42.640 --> 01:49:45.600
<v Speaker 1>be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for works

1570
01:49:45.640 --> 01:49:48.800
<v Speaker 1>of ministry to build up the Body of Christ. Each

1571
01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:51.119
<v Speaker 1>member of the church is encouraged to use their gifts

1572
01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:55.840
<v Speaker 1>faithfully for the edification of the body. Okay, so personal

1573
01:49:55.920 --> 01:50:00.640
<v Speaker 1>application for everybody. For individual believers, faithfulness and servi involves

1574
01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the daily commitment to live according to God's will and

1575
01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to serve others with love and integrity. Colossians three thirty

1576
01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:10.680
<v Speaker 1>three are twenty three through twenty four. I'm sorry, exhorts.

1577
01:50:10.680 --> 01:50:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Whether you do, work at it with your whole whatever

1578
01:50:14.600 --> 01:50:17.319
<v Speaker 1>you do, work at it with your whole being for

1579
01:50:17.439 --> 01:50:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the Lord and not for men, because you know that

1580
01:50:20.760 --> 01:50:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you will receive and inheritance from the Lord as your reward.

1581
01:50:24.680 --> 01:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>As it is, as it is the Lord Christ you

1582
01:50:28.039 --> 01:50:31.960
<v Speaker 1>are serving. Faithfulness and service is not limited to grant acts,

1583
01:50:32.199 --> 01:50:35.640
<v Speaker 1>but is demonstrated in the small everyday task perform with

1584
01:50:35.680 --> 01:50:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the heart devoted to God. As believers strive to be

1585
01:50:38.840 --> 01:50:42.279
<v Speaker 1>faithful in their service, their service, they reflect the character

1586
01:50:42.359 --> 01:50:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of Christ and bring glory to God. All right, So

1587
01:50:48.439 --> 01:50:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that is the end of chapter nine. That is so

1588
01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:55.199
<v Speaker 1>perfect because we're about it an hour and fifty minutes.

1589
01:50:55.439 --> 01:50:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's it's good. I'm just going to go over

1590
01:50:57.840 --> 01:51:04.439
<v Speaker 1>these practical applications and I'll do that now. Embrace restoration.

1591
01:51:04.880 --> 01:51:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Just as God restored Israel, he can restore our lives.

1592
01:51:07.720 --> 01:51:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Trust in his power to renew and rebuild what he

1593
01:51:11.960 --> 01:51:17.039
<v Speaker 1>has broken. Next, prioritize worship. Make worship a central part

1594
01:51:17.079 --> 01:51:20.159
<v Speaker 1>of your life, recognizing its importance and maintaining a strong

1595
01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:25.439
<v Speaker 1>relationship with God. Next, serve faithfully, whether in church, church,

1596
01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:29.159
<v Speaker 1>or in daily life. Commit to serving God with dedication

1597
01:51:29.399 --> 01:51:33.479
<v Speaker 1>and integrity, just as the Levites and Gatekeepers did. Then

1598
01:51:33.479 --> 01:51:37.520
<v Speaker 1>we have value community. Recognize the importance of community and

1599
01:51:37.560 --> 01:51:40.920
<v Speaker 1>fellowship as seen in the resettlement of the Israelites in

1600
01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>their cities. Additional scriptures that connect we have Ezra too,

1601
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Ezra chapter two. This chapter parallels First Chronicles nine, providing

1602
01:51:51.680 --> 01:51:54.680
<v Speaker 1>another account of the return from exile and the restoration

1603
01:51:54.800 --> 01:51:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of the community. Neemiah seven offers further insight into the

1604
01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:03.760
<v Speaker 1>genealogies and the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem. Then we have

1605
01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Psalms one twenty six. Verse three reflects the joy and

1606
01:52:07.960 --> 01:52:11.399
<v Speaker 1>gratitude of the Israelites upon their return. When the Lord

1607
01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:17.720
<v Speaker 1>restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers. Okay, perfect,

1608
01:52:18.119 --> 01:52:23.079
<v Speaker 1>we finished chapter nine. Good stuff, Good stuff, guys, Let

<v Speaker 1>that are teaching the Word. Thank you Lord for everything. Lord.

1640
01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for all the churches out there that are

1641
01:54:16.119 --> 01:54:21.800
<v Speaker 1>accepting people and assisting you on getting people saved, baptizing

1642
01:54:21.840 --> 01:54:23.439
<v Speaker 1>people in the name of the Father, the Son, and

1643
01:54:23.479 --> 01:54:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Spirit, baptizing people in the name of Jesus.

1644
01:54:26.760 --> 01:54:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Just whatever is going on, Lord, just everything that's happening

1645
01:54:30.199 --> 01:54:32.119
<v Speaker 1>in the body of Christ. Lord, thank you for all

1646
01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of that. We understand that there's a lot of evil

1647
01:54:34.640 --> 01:54:38.359
<v Speaker 1>in this world, including in our own government in America. Lord,

1648
01:54:38.680 --> 01:54:41.399
<v Speaker 1>we have the Epstein files came out. There's a bunch

1649
01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of disgusting things in there that I'm sure you are

1650
01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:47.439
<v Speaker 1>unpleased with. We know that you are the judge, Lord,

1651
01:54:47.880 --> 01:54:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and some of us are trying to get together and

1652
01:54:50.119 --> 01:54:52.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe get mad about this, and maybe we want to

1653
01:54:52.279 --> 01:54:54.640
<v Speaker 1>do this and do that. But Lord, I ask for

1654
01:54:54.720 --> 01:54:58.760
<v Speaker 1>your guidance, So please help and assist people in making

1655
01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:04.800
<v Speaker 1>those kind of decisions, because we are called to follow you, Lord,

1656
01:55:04.960 --> 01:55:07.479
<v Speaker 1>and also to be imitators of Christ, so we want

1657
01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to imitate Christ. So I just want to pray for

1658
01:55:09.880 --> 01:55:13.680
<v Speaker 1>all those out there that are getting agitated and ready

1659
01:55:13.720 --> 01:55:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to strike. They need to understand that God is in control.

1660
01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:20.119
<v Speaker 1>We know that you're in control, Lord, so I just

1661
01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:22.880
<v Speaker 1>want you to show them that you're in control and

1662
01:55:22.920 --> 01:55:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that you got this. We don't need to depend on

1663
01:55:25.239 --> 01:55:29.119
<v Speaker 1>human hands or human guns or human knives to handle this. Lord,

1664
01:55:29.159 --> 01:55:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I know you can handle this and they will be judged,

1665
01:55:31.439 --> 01:55:34.159
<v Speaker 1>so assist us. Thank you God for everything. Thank you.

1666
01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:36.600
<v Speaker 1>We love you in Jesus name. Amen, thank you for

1667
01:55:36.680 --> 01:55:39.319
<v Speaker 1>joining me. I really appreciate you, guys, and God bless
