Speaker 1: I just really can't believe that I'm blessed to be
Speaker 1: able to have this show in particular. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: it's just amazing. And my other show, I'm starting to
Speaker 1: get more motivation. I literally was. I literally was getting
Speaker 1: to a point where I was feeling I was feeling overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: you know, because I was doing this show and the
Speaker 1: Wednesday service and then my show, and it just took
Speaker 1: a little bit for me to get remotivated. And I
Speaker 1: feel like I am remotivated now for my other show.
Speaker 1: This show I've been motivated. I lose no motivation for
Speaker 1: this show because this is what I've been driving and
Speaker 1: living for, teaching the word. Okay, so this show, I
Speaker 1: am motivated. My other show, I started kind of having
Speaker 1: it like this, this feeling like, ah man, I've done
Speaker 1: so much conspiracies already, should I keep going? But it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, God is motivating me and giving me
Speaker 1: more guests. What can I do? And booked all the
Speaker 1: way till July. I'm also obviously I'm gonna continue that show.
Speaker 1: People are hitting me up and I prayed about it
Speaker 1: and I told God, like, hey, I didn't have anybody booked. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was to the point where I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna continue releasing, you know, my older Sunday service
Speaker 1: and then maybe start releasing Wednesday service on my show,
Speaker 1: and just kind of seeing what it's gonna do. And
Speaker 1: then now now people have been hitting me up and
Speaker 1: I'm booked all the way till them with July. So
Speaker 1: you know, God works in mysterious ways, but it looks
Speaker 1: like he wants me to continue my Josh Monday Christian
Speaker 1: conspiracy podcast show. And you know what, we all are human,
Speaker 1: and we all end up with times of hardship. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we feel like maybe we're not spending enough time with
Speaker 1: our kids. I do put a lot of research into
Speaker 1: this show, Okay. I mean I'm literally putting probably eight
Speaker 1: hours of research in for the New Testament study, eight
Speaker 1: hours of time in the Old Testament study. Yet sometimes
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes six hours of studying sometimes more, you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm doing like when I have it like down down,
Speaker 1: when you guys can hear when I'm on like I'm
Speaker 1: on it, I probably put in a good eight to
Speaker 1: ten hours of studying these chapters, you know. So that's
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, So it takes a long a
Speaker 1: lot of time, a lot of time, and I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I'm giving time to my children,
Speaker 1: time to my wife, and enough time to God. Besides this,
Speaker 1: you know, we just juggle. But anyways, Hey, I just
Speaker 1: want to let you guys know I'm motivated, I'm ready
Speaker 1: to go, and I'm very happy to be here tonight
Speaker 1: teaching you guys Deuteronomy fourteen. So let's oh, now, I
Speaker 1: just want to let you guys know some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: This is this is a sermon from Moses to the
Speaker 1: people that are going to enter the Promised Land. So
Speaker 1: what is what is Moses going to do? He is
Speaker 1: going to uh reinnerate what the people before, the generation
Speaker 1: before them already knew, the parents already knew. He needs
Speaker 1: to reinnerate so that they understand what God wants from them. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if all the people that were supposed to go to
Speaker 1: the Promised Land went to the Promised Land, Moses wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to have this sermon, or maybe he would. Maybe
Speaker 1: people would be forgetting and maybe he would have to
Speaker 1: redo it. I don't know, but he's just making sure
Speaker 1: that before he passes away he drops all the knowledge
Speaker 1: on these people that he can all the instruction for
Speaker 1: them before they enter the Promised Land, so that when
Speaker 1: he get when he's on his final day, he could say, hey,
Speaker 1: I was a good faithful servant Lord, you know. And
Speaker 1: he's just following God's command to do this. So so
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and read Deuteronomy fourteen, chapter one. You
Speaker 1: are the children of the Lord your God. You shall
Speaker 1: not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head
Speaker 1: for the dead. For you are holy people to the
Speaker 1: Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to
Speaker 1: be a people for yourselves, a special treasure above all
Speaker 1: people who are on the face of the earth. So
Speaker 1: why is he telling him this specific command? Well, the
Speaker 1: he to be holy means to be set apart. So
Speaker 1: obviously there's pagans and people like from Egypt and that
Speaker 1: they that they lived with that are worldly people that
Speaker 1: we're doing pagan's things. And there's also people in the
Speaker 1: Land of Canaan, in the land that are about to
Speaker 1: take over, that are doing pagan practices. So God is
Speaker 1: telling them the Israelites these commands. Okay, what happens sometimes
Speaker 1: is we end up reading Deuteronomy and we apply these
Speaker 1: things to ourselves and say, if this makes them holy,
Speaker 1: then this has to make us holy. But see he
Speaker 1: says it right here, for you are a holy people
Speaker 1: to the Lord, your God. The Lord has chosen you
Speaker 1: to be people for your for himself a special treasure
Speaker 1: above all people who are on the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: So he is specifically speaking to the Israelites right now, saying,
Speaker 1: do not shave your head for the dead. What does that?
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Well, what's happening back then
Speaker 1: is these Pagans were shaving their head for the dead,
Speaker 1: and he's telling them do not do that. They were
Speaker 1: also cutting themselves. Does that sound familiar? Yes, right now,
Speaker 1: there are people and you know what, if you ever
Speaker 1: had this in the past or anything, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to talk bad about you or anything, but it's some
Speaker 1: people have this problem with cutting themselves. And you see
Speaker 1: way God was warning them back then. It was even
Speaker 1: happening back then, you shall not cut yourselves nor shave
Speaker 1: the front of your head for the dead. So obviously
Speaker 1: they were cutting themselves for the dead and shaving the
Speaker 1: front of their head for the dead. And God wants
Speaker 1: them to be holy, which means to be set apart
Speaker 1: from the world, or set apart from the pagans, or
Speaker 1: are the ones that were worshiping other gods, doing rituals
Speaker 1: and sacrificing the idols that are not the Lord God
Speaker 1: Yahweh okay Hua or Yahweh. People pronounce it in different ways,
Speaker 1: so that's what was going on there. He is speaking
Speaker 1: specifically to the Israelites telling him not to do this
Speaker 1: because the reason why is because the people around them
Speaker 1: were doing this. Okay, clean and unclean meat, you shall not.
Speaker 1: This is Deuteronomy fourteen, verse three. You shall not eat
Speaker 1: any detestable thing. These are the animals which you may eat,
Speaker 1: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle,
Speaker 1: the road deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope,
Speaker 1: and the mountain sheep. And you may eat every animal
Speaker 1: with cloven hooves, having the hoof split in two parts,
Speaker 1: and that choose the cud among the animals. Nevertheless, of
Speaker 1: those that chew the cud, of those cloven hoofs, you
Speaker 1: shall not eat, such as these, the camel, the hair,
Speaker 1: and the rock high racks, for they chew the cud,
Speaker 1: but do not have cloven hoofs. They are unclean for you.
Speaker 1: Also the swine or the pig is unclean for you
Speaker 1: because it has cloven hoofs yet does not chew the cud.
Speaker 1: You shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's put a pause there. Okay. Now people are going, oh,
Speaker 1: what about bacon, what about Vietnamese pork and rice? We
Speaker 1: love that stuff, you know, people love it, you know,
Speaker 1: And uh, what I would say to that, I mean,
Speaker 1: there is health benefits to not eat pig. We've found
Speaker 1: lately that pigs do not have sweat glands. Okay, So
Speaker 1: there's a reason why God is telling them not to
Speaker 1: eat these animals. Is he telling him not to eat
Speaker 1: these animals because he wants to make all these rules
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, I don't want you to
Speaker 1: eat these animals because these are the rules that I'm
Speaker 1: stay Okay, no, because there's something behind each one of
Speaker 1: these commandments. Okay. Also, if you don't cook pig all
Speaker 1: the way, then it could be deadly and back then
Speaker 1: if they get a disease like that, then you know,
Speaker 1: you don't have kaiser to go to right away, and
Speaker 1: they don't have medicine and they don't have ivs in
Speaker 1: case you get dehydrated, and there is a lot of
Speaker 1: like disease, and and and if you're if you're not
Speaker 1: like if you don't have pig like also and some
Speaker 1: of these other animals stored correctly, it could cause sicknesses
Speaker 1: that that are not good. Okay, so I think there's
Speaker 1: health benefits behind this. Also, the pigs they eat like trash, garbage.
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll eat anything, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They'll eat the corn that's been on the floor for
Speaker 1: like months, the late old corn, the eat food, trash, whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't have picks. I don't know exactly what the e
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying so am so there's reasons behind this.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I'll just tell you what it
Speaker 1: says in Mark seven versus eighteen through twenty three. This
Speaker 1: is something in the New Testament referring to unclean animals. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is uh, let's hold on Mark seven eighteen
Speaker 1: through twenty three. I just want to pull it up
Speaker 1: on here because it'll be a lot easier for me
Speaker 1: to tell if this is Jesus speaking. This is very important. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks like it is, uh, eighteen through twenty three.
Speaker 1: Let's see, yes, okay, eighteen, yes, Okay, let's read this now.
Speaker 1: Mark seven eighteen through twenty three. So he's okay, I'll
Speaker 1: start from seventeen. Actually, Mark seventeen, seven seventeen, when he
Speaker 1: had entered a house away from the crowd, his disciples
Speaker 1: asked him concerning the parable. So we said to them,
Speaker 1: are you thus without understanding? Also do you not perceive
Speaker 1: what whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,
Speaker 1: because it does not enter his heart but his stomach,
Speaker 1: and has eliminated this, purifying all foods. And he said,
Speaker 1: what comes out of it of a man defiles a
Speaker 1: man from For from within, out of the heart of
Speaker 1: a man proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, ludus,
Speaker 1: and evil eye, blasphemy, pride. All these evil things come
Speaker 1: from within and defile a man. Okay, So I'll go
Speaker 1: a little further back, it says Mark seven fourteen. Let
Speaker 1: me just read that. He says, when he had called
Speaker 1: all the multitudes to himself, he said to them, hear me,
Speaker 1: everyone to understand. There is nothing that enters a man
Speaker 1: from the outside which can defile him. But the things
Speaker 1: which come out of him, those are the things that
Speaker 1: defile the man. If anyone hears to hear, let let
Speaker 1: him hear. Which is interesting because on the last month,
Speaker 1: last week I was talking to you guys, it says here,
Speaker 1: oh Israel right, So yeah, so Jesus is saying here,
Speaker 1: what do you not perceive that whatever enters a man
Speaker 1: from outside cannot defile him? Okay, I just want to
Speaker 1: tell you guys that. So that's what it's saying in
Speaker 1: the New Testament is Does that mean Jesus is saying,
Speaker 1: go eat pig? It's no problem. I'm not. He's just
Speaker 1: saying that it's not defiling you from the outside. So
Speaker 1: there's a reason why God is speaking specifically to these
Speaker 1: is Israelites about this. Now, are we supposed to eat pig? Now? On?
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you one hundred percent. Okay, even though
Speaker 1: some people would say it's fine, God doesn't care anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you yes or no on
Speaker 1: that because I don't have a definitive answer for you. Okay.
Speaker 1: But if you.
Speaker 2: Feel convicted when you eat pig, if you eat bacon,
Speaker 2: or if you eat pork and rice, or you eat
Speaker 2: pork beans or whatever, and you feel defiled, and you
Speaker 2: feel like, hey, it's if you feel like the Holy
Speaker 2: spirit's convicting you, don't eat it.
Speaker 1: There's a reason for it. Okay, just letting you guys
Speaker 1: know that. So let's stop there real quick and let
Speaker 1: me just read my We're gonna just highlight that so
Speaker 1: I don't forget. So Deuteronomy fourteen to two states that
Speaker 1: for you are people holy to the Lord, your God,
Speaker 1: and the Lord has chosen you to be people for
Speaker 1: his prized possession, out of all peoples on the face
Speaker 1: of the earth. This verse underscores the theme of holiness
Speaker 1: and being set apart. That's exactly what I was talking about.
Speaker 1: He's asking he wants you to not do as the
Speaker 1: Pagans do. He wants the is Relights to do as
Speaker 1: God wants them to do, which makes them holy. What
Speaker 1: does holy mean to be? Set heart? Okay? Dietary laws
Speaker 1: Verses three through twenty one outline specific dietary restrictions, emphasizing
Speaker 1: clean and nuclean animals. These laws were meant to distinguish
Speaker 1: the Israelites from surrounding nations. So it's another thing it's
Speaker 1: meant for the Israelites at that time, because all the
Speaker 1: other tribes that are around them are probably doing things
Speaker 1: with these animals that are not good, and they're probably
Speaker 1: eating all these animals, and they're probably sacrificing these animals
Speaker 1: to their gods. And God does not want them to
Speaker 1: get anything mixed together. He wants it to be peer
Speaker 1: and holy. He doesn't want to get them confused with
Speaker 1: any of the stuff that these pagans are doing. So
Speaker 1: God is setting them apart from the surrounding nations. Let's go.
Speaker 1: We'll continue to read Deuteronomy fourteen, chapter nine. These you
Speaker 1: may eat of all that are in the waters. You
Speaker 1: may eat all that have fins and scales. And whatever
Speaker 1: does not have fins and scales you shall not eat.
Speaker 1: It is unclean for you. Oh man, here's another thing. Now,
Speaker 1: we're like, what lobster, crab, shrimped, no octopus, several things
Speaker 1: that are that have no fins? Oh, that have no scales. Sorry,
Speaker 1: they have to have fins and scales. Most of the
Speaker 1: fish have fins, you know what I mean. But see
Speaker 1: some of the ones that don't have scales. They're bottom
Speaker 1: feeders and they're probably not good to eat. Okay, they're
Speaker 1: what clean the ocean shrimp? All these different things. You know,
Speaker 1: crab even crab eats everything that's on the bottom. So
Speaker 1: there's a reason behind this, Okay, there's a reason behind this.
Speaker 1: Besides the separating you from that, Besides separating the nations
Speaker 1: from the nations you know, from the other nations around them,
Speaker 1: besides separating the is your lights from the other nations
Speaker 1: around them. There's other health benefits to not eating these things. Now,
Speaker 1: eating fish with scales, I mean, if you eat fish
Speaker 1: minus there's so much mercury in the water. Now. But
Speaker 1: besides that eating fish, if you had a fish diet,
Speaker 1: fish a lot of fish, a little bit of rice,
Speaker 1: a lot of fish, a little bit of rice, like
Speaker 1: a Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is like what makes
Speaker 1: people live the longest. Okay, there's like a blue I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's called. See, I wish my mind
Speaker 1: was fresh right now. See I'm doing a night show.
Speaker 1: Sometimes my mind's not as fresh at night. But it's
Speaker 1: like the blue zone. And that's all usually Mediterranean food,
Speaker 1: the tomatoes, the lettuce, the fish, the rice, you know,
Speaker 1: the goat. You know, they eat all these the Mediterranean
Speaker 1: food that is super healthy for you. That the cheese
Speaker 1: coat cheese and all this stuff. Right, So if you
Speaker 1: notice that diet actually is very very healthy for you,
Speaker 1: the diet we eat right now is in America is
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible for you. So yeah, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: there's so there's just letting you guys know, there's certain
Speaker 1: there's certain reasons behind this about being holy, and I
Speaker 1: think there's also some help benefits to paying attention to this. Okay, okay, dud,
Speaker 1: don't want to be fourteen eleven. All clean birds you
Speaker 1: may eat, but these you shall not eat. Which, hey,
Speaker 1: good thing. The eagle, because the bald eagle is endangered here,
Speaker 1: so we eat eagle. We're gonna be done anyway. The eagle,
Speaker 1: the vulture, the buzzard, the red kite, the falcon, the
Speaker 1: kite after their kinds, every raven after its kind, the ostrichs,
Speaker 1: the short eared owl, the seagull, and the hawk after
Speaker 1: their kinds, the little owl, the screen owl, the white owl,
Speaker 1: the jack draw, the carrion, vulture, the fisher owl, the stork,
Speaker 1: the hair on after its kind, and the hopie and
Speaker 1: the bat. The bat that's where COVID came from. Isn't it?
Speaker 1: Good thing? We're not eating bats? No, I'm just kidding. Guess. Also,
Speaker 1: creeping thing that flies is unclean for you. They shall
Speaker 1: not be eaten, but he will tell you what you
Speaker 1: can eat the clean birds. But listen. So we have
Speaker 1: all these things out here, A lot of them are
Speaker 1: you know, they're eating dead carcasses. You know. Uh, some
Speaker 1: of these are eating dead carcasses. Not saying all of them,
Speaker 1: but some of them. Right, So a lot of us
Speaker 1: aren't looking, you know, craving seagull Anyway, I don't really
Speaker 1: crave to eat an owl. If I see an owl,
Speaker 1: I'm not like I want lunch, you know, unless I
Speaker 1: was on like an episode of a loon and I'm
Speaker 1: out there with the bow and arrow and aal as
Speaker 1: a ten and I'm starving, then they're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: who cares? But there's two They're just gonna eat it
Speaker 1: whatever they can, you know. Uh. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys ever watch alone, but you see there they
Speaker 1: see something fly up, they're like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: and they're just starving and they're shaking because they're so hungry,
Speaker 1: and they're just they get got it and then oh
Speaker 1: I can't. They have to try to find it. They
Speaker 1: feel like you know, sometimes they lose their arrow. They're like,
Speaker 1: oh so anyways, so yeah, you see that, and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So we got to understand that there's a different different
Speaker 1: clean and unclean. So let's find out the clean birds
Speaker 1: that you can eat you shall not eat. Oh I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh it says you may eat all clean birds. So
Speaker 1: anything that's not mentioned here is okay to eat chicken,
Speaker 1: you know, turkey, the things that we normally eat. The
Speaker 1: only thing that we add that I have to cut
Speaker 1: out of my diet, which I eat once in a
Speaker 1: great while, would be pork. And my wife is tie
Speaker 1: and Filipino, right, and like we like Asian food, so
Speaker 1: sometimes they have pork in their Asian food, especially the
Speaker 1: Filipino food, and they that's something that I have to
Speaker 1: i'd have to. I mean, it's not something major I
Speaker 1: need to cut on my diet. Mostly what I eat
Speaker 1: is beef. I'll tell you guys what I do real quick.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, sorry, I don't want to get sidetracks,
Speaker 1: but four days a week I eat lean ninety three
Speaker 1: lean ground beef. I put it inside of a pan,
Speaker 1: a big pan like this big. You can only see
Speaker 1: it on video probably, but it's it's big. And then
Speaker 1: I put ground beef, I put broccoli, I put cauliflour,
Speaker 1: and I put carrots a bunch of them, like thirty
Speaker 1: two ounces of that stuff. Mix it all together with
Speaker 1: an onion, and I cook it for the week. And
Speaker 1: that's what I eat throughout the week, four days a week.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. So that's no carbs. All I'm eating is that.
Speaker 1: And then so that's about three pounds or four pounds
Speaker 1: of meat I eat in four days. One pound of
Speaker 1: meat basically a day sounds like a lot, but you know,
Speaker 1: when you lift weights, then you want to get the protein.
Speaker 1: But that's something I do and I and it's been
Speaker 1: helping me tremendously. And then on the weekends, I try
Speaker 1: to eat as best as I can. So I do
Speaker 1: like a sixty forty split, sixty percent clean thirty maybe
Speaker 1: you know, seventy percent clean, thirty percent unclean. That's kind
Speaker 1: of where it works. Not unclean like this, but not
Speaker 1: unclean like the Bible is saying, but uncleaned, as in
Speaker 1: I was eating clean. And then something, you know, on
Speaker 1: the weekend, I eat like a little less clean, you know,
Speaker 1: like but yeah, once in a great, great while maybe
Speaker 1: once a month or every two or three months will
Speaker 1: have bacon, but I could probably switch that to turkey bacon.
Speaker 1: So that's all I have to get out of my life,
Speaker 1: is just that I don't have him been eating any
Speaker 1: short eared owl. I don't know about you, guys. Let's continue,
Speaker 1: dud want to be fourteen Verse twenty one. You shall
Speaker 1: not eat anything that dies of itself, because why because
Speaker 1: it probably had a disease. Okay, you may not give
Speaker 1: it to the alien or which means the person that's
Speaker 1: the outsider, who is within your gates, that he may
Speaker 1: eat it. You may give it to the alien who
Speaker 1: is within your gates, that he may eat it. Or
Speaker 1: you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are
Speaker 1: holy people, the Lord your God. You shall not boil
Speaker 1: a young goat in it's mother's milk. Interesting, and then
Speaker 1: I don't know if it gets to that, but it
Speaker 1: always talks about don't drink blood, don't eat the blood.
Speaker 1: Life is in the blood, right, So we got to
Speaker 1: understand that. Okay, So now we got through the dietary laws,
Speaker 1: Let's see what I can Okay. The chapter begins with
Speaker 1: instructions or on clean and unclean animals. What the Israelites
Speaker 1: are permitted to forbid it to eat. This section emphasizes
Speaker 1: the importance of holiness and obedience to God's commands. And
Speaker 1: we are prohibited against pagan practices, mourning practices. That's what
Speaker 1: that is. So in Deuteronomy fourteen one through two, I
Speaker 1: forgot to tell you guys about this. The Israelites are
Speaker 1: starting not to cut thisself. Their shaved their foreheads. This
Speaker 1: prohibition is rooted in their identity as holy people chose them.
Speaker 1: The Hebrew term quadote emphasizes they're set apart status. So
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's pagan mourning practices when they're
Speaker 1: shaving their head for the dead. That's what it is.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we are are right here now, we're in
Speaker 1: tithing right So the chapter and then Deuteronomy fourteen three
Speaker 1: through eight. The chapter outline onlines which an animals are
Speaker 1: considered clean and unclean, which you read. Clean animals include
Speaker 1: these that shew the cut and have a split hoof.
Speaker 1: The Hebrew word to whore is used for clean, indicating
Speaker 1: purity and suitability for consumption. Permissible sea creatures. Only sea
Speaker 1: creatures with fins scales are deemed clean. This distinction is
Speaker 1: part of meaning maintaining ritual purity, as indicated in the
Speaker 1: Hebrew term snappier for fins and quissette wait cascasset for
Speaker 1: scales forbidden birds. These birds are often associated with scavenging,
Speaker 1: which is contrary to the purity laws. All flying insects
Speaker 1: are considered unclean, except those that are specifically permitted. This
Speaker 1: maintains the theme for distinguishing between clean and unclean. Okay,
Speaker 1: prohibiting eating carcasses. The Hebrew term nevellah refers to carcasses,
Speaker 1: emphasizing the importance of consuming only what is ritually clean. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to be in tithing instructions, so let's
Speaker 1: go ahead, and let's go ahead and start there. Let's
Speaker 1: get back to tithing in generosity. So Deuteronomy fourteen, verse
Speaker 1: twenty two tithing principles. You shall truly tithe all the
Speaker 1: increase of your grain that the field produces year by year,
Speaker 1: and you shall eat before the Lord your God, in
Speaker 1: the place where he chooses to make his name. Abide
Speaker 1: the tithe of your grain and your new wine, and
Speaker 1: your oil of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks,
Speaker 1: that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
Speaker 1: But if the journey, if the journey is too long
Speaker 1: for you, so that you are not able to carry
Speaker 1: the tithe, or the place with the Lord your God
Speaker 1: has chosen to put his name is too far from you.
Speaker 1: When the Lord God has blessed you, then you shall
Speaker 1: exchange it for money. Take the money in your hand
Speaker 1: and go to the place which your Lord or God chooses,
Speaker 1: and you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires,
Speaker 1: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, whatever
Speaker 1: your heart desires. You shall eat there before the Lord
Speaker 1: your God, and you shall rejoice. You and your household.
Speaker 1: You shut up for sake the levite who's within your gates,
Speaker 1: for he has no partner inheritance with you. So there's
Speaker 1: always going to be a reminder. Because the levite has
Speaker 1: no inheritance and doesn't have a flock of sheep, doesn't
Speaker 1: have vegetables growing where he can eat. You have to
Speaker 1: remember the Levites. That's why you have to tie. Because
Speaker 1: the Levites don't have money, they don't have a job.
Speaker 1: They're constantly doing what God needs them to do, and
Speaker 1: they're focused on that. They don't need to be focused
Speaker 1: on farming and sheep and this. They need to be
Speaker 1: focused on what God needs them to focus on. That's
Speaker 1: why he keeps reminding them to not forsake the Levite
Speaker 1: who's within your gates, where he has no part or
Speaker 1: inheritance with you. So Tithing in Generosity Verses twenty two
Speaker 1: through twenty nine discussed the practice of tithing, highlighting the
Speaker 1: importance of giving back to God and supporting the Levites, foreigners, orphans,
Speaker 1: and widows, which we're going to read about right now,
Speaker 1: and Deteronomy fourteen twenty eight, it's going to talk about
Speaker 1: the poor and the widows and the levites. At the
Speaker 1: end of every third year, you shall bring out the
Speaker 1: tithe of your produce at the year and store it
Speaker 1: up within your gates. And the Levite, because he has
Speaker 1: no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and
Speaker 1: the fatherless and the widow are within your gates, may
Speaker 1: come and eat and be satisfied that the Lord your
Speaker 1: God may bless you in all the work of your hand,
Speaker 1: which you do. Okay, so yeah, So this chapter emphasizes
Speaker 1: that obedience to God's commands brings blessing and sustenance, reinforcing
Speaker 1: the covenant relationship between God and his people. Okay, we
Speaker 1: need to understand that. And so practical applications that we
Speaker 1: could place in our life is living set apart. Consider
Speaker 1: how you can live a life that is distinct and
Speaker 1: wholly in today's world. You see, we have to live apart.
Speaker 1: We have to live do not be of this world.
Speaker 1: Jesus says that, okay, and that is not only just
Speaker 1: like about how you act, but it's also how you think,
Speaker 1: and it's how you perceive yourself, how you There's so
Speaker 1: much you know that the world does that we should
Speaker 1: not do. Also, I think we should understand that there's
Speaker 1: things in the world they try to push on us,
Speaker 1: which I've talked about before. Let's think about it, like
Speaker 1: the Big Bang theory, evolution for some people. I know
Speaker 1: some people believe in a globe and helocentricy, but I
Speaker 1: think that's another thing that we should probably read the
Speaker 1: Bible and consider see what it says about cosmology. There's
Speaker 1: things that we need to understand about, like abortion. There's
Speaker 1: things that we need to understand about, like so much
Speaker 1: that the Bible teaches that the world tries to push
Speaker 1: on us, you know, transgenderism, all this other stuff they
Speaker 1: try to push. There's just a ton I don't need
Speaker 1: to mention all of them, but adultery, divorce, so much stuff, Pride, covaging,
Speaker 1: coveting people's stuff, becoming rich, greed, selfishness, self righteousness, there's
Speaker 1: so much stuff that we need to be set apart. Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to be holy in today's world, and it
Speaker 1: is so difficult because there's so much stuff pulling on
Speaker 1: your spirit to be come like the world. So we
Speaker 1: have to be stronger than ever. So what I would
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, is this kind of Bible study or
Speaker 1: being in a Bible study is vastly important right now.
Speaker 1: So whatever study you're in, if you're in mind, thank God,
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you, you know, But we need to understand
Speaker 1: that we need to reflect on our identity as followers
Speaker 1: of Christ. Reflect on our identity as followers of Christ,
Speaker 1: reflect on what we're doing on a day to day basis.
Speaker 1: Reflect on the decisions that we're making from time to time.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes we might be making decisions for ourselves
Speaker 1: and not making decisions that are God's will. So let's
Speaker 1: pray and let's make sure that we are including God
Speaker 1: in our decisions, and then it will help do I
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, every single day, every single moment, make
Speaker 1: a decision that I think God would love. No. I
Speaker 1: do my very best to make sure that I'm following
Speaker 1: God and his will. But sometimes I am human, just
Speaker 1: like you guys, So I don't I don't expect you
Speaker 1: to to just like you know, snap of a finger.
Speaker 1: Just be holy all the time. It just takes time, maturity,
Speaker 1: the Bible, praying, having spiritual weapons ready at your disposal,
Speaker 1: having Bible versus ready at your disposal, and it takes
Speaker 1: a lot. So mindful consumption, yeah, be mindful of what
Speaker 1: you consume. Okay. This says while the specific dietary laws
Speaker 1: are not binding for Christians, the principle of being mindful
Speaker 1: about what we consume physically and spiritually remains relevant. So
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Well, if I go and I
Speaker 1: go and drink alcohol instead of drinking water, it's going
Speaker 1: to cloud your mind. Right, It's going to cause you
Speaker 1: to probably fight with your wife. It's probably gonna cause
Speaker 1: you to not read the Bible. It's probably gonna cause
Speaker 1: you to go out and do things that you probably
Speaker 1: didn't want to do. It could cause you to get
Speaker 1: a dui. It could cause people to see that you're drunk,
Speaker 1: and then you try to preach the gospel to them
Speaker 1: and they're like, ah, he's a drunkard. You know. I
Speaker 1: know some people that cannot go one day without drinking,
Speaker 1: and they are constantly going to the liquor store and
Speaker 1: they cannot stop because if they stop, they have withdraws
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they feel like they're gonna die, and
Speaker 1: they actually literally could die. So this kind of stuff
Speaker 1: is very important what you physically consume. And that's just
Speaker 1: like one thing. If you're physically consuming marijuana, smoke, if
Speaker 1: you're physically consuming psychedelics, if you're physically consuming cocaine, speed
Speaker 1: or whatever, meth or any of these things, you are
Speaker 1: separating yourself from God. Then you need to make sure
Speaker 1: that you just quit doing that. Spiritually, what are we
Speaker 1: you know, also, what are we consuming like on a
Speaker 1: listening to podcast level, or what are we consuming when
Speaker 1: it comes to watching TV? What are we consuming when
Speaker 1: it comes with our eyes? Are we consuming pornography? Are
Speaker 1: we consuming Instagram butts? Are we consuming romance novels that
Speaker 1: that are you're reading about people doing lustful things and
Speaker 1: then you're like getting excited. Are you are you doing
Speaker 1: certain things like that? You know, it's like what are
Speaker 1: you consuming? What is your mind consuming? We have to
Speaker 1: be careful because when you're reading the Word of God
Speaker 1: and then you're watching that kind of stuff, those kind
Speaker 1: of pictures, they they're stuck in your mind. So you
Speaker 1: could be reading the Word of God and then all
Speaker 1: you're thinking about the devil keeps putting that picture in
Speaker 1: your mind of what you looked at, and then you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to read the Bible today. It's
Speaker 1: gonna have to cut kick back on that real quick,
Speaker 1: you know, because you have the devils like using that
Speaker 1: putting that in your face. So be careful what we
Speaker 1: physically consume and spiritually consume. It's very relevant today. Generosity
Speaker 1: and stewardship. Reflect on your own practices of giving and
Speaker 1: how you can support these in need within your community. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very important to support those that are in need
Speaker 1: for sure. And then you know, tithing at your church
Speaker 1: or you know, as long as everything's going to the
Speaker 1: right place, you know, stuff like that, obedience to God.
Speaker 1: Evaluate areas in your life where you may need to
Speaker 1: align more closely with God's commands, trusting that his ways
Speaker 1: lead to blessings. Obedience to God. I've always said this
Speaker 1: on a lot of my podcasts and I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: Pray for obedience. Obedience is a way to show God
Speaker 1: that you love him, following his commandments and his ways,
Speaker 1: and you know, doing his will shows him that you
Speaker 1: love him. Okay, it's a way of worship. People think
Speaker 1: that worship is just having your hands up at church
Speaker 1: when someone singing some rock song. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that's not worshiping God. And if you could worship God
Speaker 1: in your own way, but one way to worship God
Speaker 1: is obedience. Did you know that that is one major
Speaker 1: way to show God. To worship God through your obedience,
Speaker 1: trusting His ways leads to blessings for sure. And let's
Speaker 1: see if I have anything provision for the needy. I
Speaker 1: have this in the notes, and what it says is
Speaker 1: every third year, the tie this store within the towns
Speaker 1: to support the levites, the foreigners, the orphans, and widows.
Speaker 1: This reflects the Hebrew concept of teza daka, or righteousness
Speaker 1: through social justice and care for the vulnerable. A few
Speaker 1: verses that additional scriptures that connect to this chapter would
Speaker 1: be first Peter two, verse nine. You are not chosen people,
Speaker 1: a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people of God's own possession,
Speaker 1: to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out
Speaker 1: of darkness in the marvelous light. That's probably paraphrasing right there.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to the actual scripture, but it might
Speaker 1: be the actual scripture. I don't know if it's exact.
Speaker 1: Matthew five sixteen. In the same way, let your light
Speaker 1: shine before others, that you may see your good deeds
Speaker 1: and glorify your Father in heaven, Amen two Corinthians six seventeen. Therefore,
Speaker 1: come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord,
Speaker 1: touched no unclean thing, and I will receive you. All right. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a really good chapter and a great review
Speaker 1: of what the Israelites needed to know. And I will
Speaker 1: click the chapter fourteen on here, and then we go
Speaker 1: up to the top and click the chapter fourteen on here.
Speaker 1: Debts canceled every seven years. This is something we went
Speaker 1: over in Leviticus, but we're gonna go over again. It
Speaker 1: looks like for some reason, my my internet was stripping.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's going to be okay debts cancer every seven years.
Speaker 1: At the end of this is Deuteronomy fifteen, verse one.
Speaker 1: At the end of every seven years, you shall grant
Speaker 1: a release of debts. And this is This is the
Speaker 1: form of the release. Every creditor who has lent anything
Speaker 1: to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not require
Speaker 1: it of his neighbor or his brother. Because it is
Speaker 1: called the Lord's release of a foreigner. You may require it,
Speaker 1: but you shall give up your claim to what is
Speaker 1: owed by your brother, except when you may be no
Speaker 1: poor among you, except when they're except when there may
Speaker 1: be no poor among you. For the Lord will greatly
Speaker 1: bless you in the land which the Lord your God
Speaker 1: has given you to possess as an inheritance, only if
Speaker 1: you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God
Speaker 1: to observe with care all his commandments which I command
Speaker 1: you today. For the Lord your God will bless you
Speaker 1: just as he promised you. You shall lend to many nations,
Speaker 1: but you shall not borrow. You shall reign over many nations,
Speaker 1: but you shall not reign, but they shall not reign
Speaker 1: over you. Interesting For your Lord God will bless you
Speaker 1: just as you promise. You shall not lend to many nations,
Speaker 1: but but you shall not borrow. You shall lend to
Speaker 1: many nations. So you can give too many nations, but
Speaker 1: not borrow from those nations. Why because those nations are
Speaker 1: pagan and what are you borrowing from them? Whatever you're
Speaker 1: borrowing or probably unholy, So understand that. So uh. And
Speaker 1: then this verse is also talking about every seven years
Speaker 1: a sabbath years proclaimed where debts are to be canceled,
Speaker 1: while leading where lending is encouraged God desires. God's desire
Speaker 1: is for there's to be no poor among the Israelites.
Speaker 1: He asserts them blessings if they obey the command making
Speaker 1: them lenders, not borrow borrowers to other nations. And then
Speaker 1: in verses one and two, the year of release describes
Speaker 1: the commandment to cancel debts every seven years. This practice
Speaker 1: underscores the importance of mercy to the prevents of perpetual poverty.
Speaker 1: At the end of every seven years, you must cancel debts.
Speaker 1: This is how it is to be done. Every creditor
Speaker 1: shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelites.
Speaker 1: Which is interesting because how long does it take for
Speaker 1: something to fall off your credit? Seven years. What it's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting, right, so every seven years, like let's
Speaker 1: say if you have like a something, let's say you
Speaker 1: have a collections on your account, like your credit score,
Speaker 1: then it falls off after seven years, which is very
Speaker 1: interesting because it kind of seems to line up to this,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Generosity to the poor? Excuse me, oh, before
Speaker 1: we go there? Four to six. Yeah, God's provision and
Speaker 1: promise emphasizes that obedience to God's commands will lead to
Speaker 1: his blessing and provision. There will be no poor among
Speaker 1: you because the Lord will surely bless you in the land.
Speaker 1: The Lord your God is giving you the possesses, giving
Speaker 1: you to possess as an inheritance. And then generosity to
Speaker 1: the poor is next. It's going to be Deuteronomy fifteen,
Speaker 1: verse seven. They make sure I'm not missing anything here
Speaker 1: that goes all the way to Deudonomy fifteen events the
Speaker 1: year release describes, okay, so the year release, and Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: one and two describes the commandment of the year of release,
Speaker 1: known as Shemtah. Every seventh year, debts are to be canceled.
Speaker 1: The Hebrew root for release is shematah, which signifies letting
Speaker 1: go or release. The passage states, at the end of
Speaker 1: every seven years, you must cancel debts. This is how
Speaker 1: it is to be done. Every critaitor shall cancel alone.
Speaker 1: It is made to its fellow Israelite. So it's talking
Speaker 1: about brothers, right. That's why it says brothers. It means
Speaker 1: the fellow Israelite and blessings from obedience. Doudonanomy Be fifteen
Speaker 1: four through six promises blessings for obedience to this command.
Speaker 1: This past emphasized that there will be no poor among
Speaker 1: the Israelites if they obey God's commands. He's saying, if
Speaker 1: you obey his commandments, there will be no poor here,
Speaker 1: and as He has blessed them abundantly. The text states,
Speaker 1: there will be no poor among you, however, because the
Speaker 1: Lord will surely bless you with the land that the
Speaker 1: Lord of God has given you to possess as an inheritance. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's look at open handed generosity. Okay, let's check out
Speaker 1: the law and wait generosity to the poor, and I
Speaker 1: will go right up here to verse seven through eleven.
Speaker 1: So let's go Dodonomy fifteen, verse seven. If there is
Speaker 1: among you a poor man of your brethren within any
Speaker 1: of the gates of your land, which the Lord your
Speaker 1: God has given. You shall not hearden your heart nor
Speaker 1: shut your hand from your poor brother. But you shall
Speaker 1: open your hand wide to him, and willingly lend him
Speaker 1: sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. Beware less there
Speaker 1: be a wicked thought in your heart, saying the seventh
Speaker 1: year the year of releases at hand, and your eye
Speaker 1: be evil, because your poor brother you given, you give
Speaker 1: him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you,
Speaker 1: and it becomes and it becomes sin among you. You
Speaker 1: shall surely give to him. And your heart should not
Speaker 1: be grieved when you give to him. Because for this
Speaker 1: thing the Lord your God will bless you. And all
Speaker 1: your works and all which you have put in your
Speaker 1: hand for the poor will never cease from the land.
Speaker 1: Therefore I command you, saying, you shall open your hand
Speaker 1: wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy,
Speaker 1: and your land. Okay, So this one is call for
Speaker 1: your open hearted generosity towards the poor, highlighting the need
Speaker 1: for compassion and action. If there is a poor man
Speaker 1: among your brothers, you shall not harden your heart or
Speaker 1: shut your hand to your poor brother. Okay. So let's
Speaker 1: see what's down here in my notes places events open handed. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's this. Verses seven through eleven encourage generosity towards the poor.
Speaker 1: The Israeites are instructed not the heart in their hearts
Speaker 1: or close their hands against their poor brothers. The Hebrew
Speaker 1: word for open is patak, meaning to open or loosen.
Speaker 1: The passage includes if there's a poor man among you. Okay,
Speaker 1: we already read that, so we don't need to go
Speaker 1: over that. Next, we're gonna talk about bond servants. Okay,
Speaker 1: bond servants. A bond servant means a bond servant or
Speaker 1: bond slave is a slave that after the seven years
Speaker 1: is up and wants to stay with their master. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what that means. That's what bond servant means. Let's
Speaker 1: go there. Deuteronomy fifteen. Deuteronomy fifteen, we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: teaching points. Make sure that's pulled up. If your brother,
Speaker 1: this is Dounonomy fifteen twelve. If your brother, a Hebrew
Speaker 1: man or Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves
Speaker 1: you six years, then in the seventh year you shall
Speaker 1: let him go free from you. And when you send
Speaker 1: him away free from you, you shall not let him
Speaker 1: go away empty handed. You shall supply him liberally from
Speaker 1: your flock, from their threshing floor, and from your wine press.
Speaker 1: From what the Lord your God has blessed you with
Speaker 1: you shall give to him. You shall remember when you
Speaker 1: were a slave in the land of Egypt, and your
Speaker 1: Lord God redeemed you. Therefore, I command you to do
Speaker 1: this thing today. Let's stop there, so listen to what
Speaker 1: he's saying. He's saying that they serve the slaves serve
Speaker 1: you for six years. The seventh year, you let him go.
Speaker 1: And what do you do? You provide them with flock.
Speaker 1: You and it says you provide them liberally from your
Speaker 1: flock and threshing floor, from your white press. So you
Speaker 1: don't let them go empty handed. You show them you
Speaker 1: appreciate their work that they've done for you. Also, they're
Speaker 1: just like God redeemed. You redeem them. Remember that you
Speaker 1: were a slave. So when you become a slave owner
Speaker 1: of these people that owe you a debt or however
Speaker 1: it works, you don't sit there and treat him like crap,
Speaker 1: you know, because remember you were once a slave in
Speaker 1: the land of Egypt and the Lord redeemed you. He
Speaker 1: wants them to remember Okay, that makes so much sense.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it makes a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to you, but it makes so much sense to me.
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy fifteen, verse sixteen. And if it happens that he
Speaker 1: says to you, I will not go away from you
Speaker 1: because he loves you in your house, since he prospers
Speaker 1: with you, then you shall take an all and thrust
Speaker 1: it through his ear at the door, and he shall
Speaker 1: be your servant forever. Also to your female servant, you
Speaker 1: shall do likewise. It shall not seem hard to you
Speaker 1: when you send him away free from you. He has
Speaker 1: been worth double hired servant and serving you six years.
Speaker 1: Then the Lord your God will bless you in all
Speaker 1: that you do. That's what I talked about. For the
Speaker 1: bond servant, that's somebody that loved the master, or you
Speaker 1: know the Master. You know, and honestly, guys, I know,
Speaker 1: we guys think, oh, certain slavery is terrible. Do you
Speaker 1: understand that all of us are slaves to something? Right now?
Speaker 1: I am a slave to my employer. You might not
Speaker 1: think you are, but let me tell you something. If
Speaker 1: you don't show up for three days, you're gonna be fired,
Speaker 1: and your life is gonna be held until you find
Speaker 1: unemployment if you can get it, or if you get fired.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean if you quit, if you quit
Speaker 1: the job, then you're not gonna be able to get unemployment.
Speaker 1: But you are definitely a slave to something, whether it's
Speaker 1: your car payment, your house payment, your mortgage, your credit
Speaker 1: card debt, whatever. We are slaves to something, and our
Speaker 1: employer is just like the master. Besides, it's the employer,
Speaker 1: right and we show up forty hours a week, maybe fifty,
Speaker 1: sometimes sixty, depending on what kind of job you have.
Speaker 1: But I'm a slave to my system. Right now, I
Speaker 1: have a water system. And if I get called that said,
Speaker 1: there's an earthquake right now, and I'm off, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm off on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, right I'm off for
Speaker 1: three days. But if there's an earthquake, I got to
Speaker 1: go in. I'm an emergency employee. If there's an earthquake
Speaker 1: and there's a crack pipe or a bunch of crackpipes
Speaker 1: that water's blowing out of, then I have to be there.
Speaker 1: So I am definitely a slave to my job. I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, guys. I'm on call twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven, but I enjoy my job. I appreciate my job.
Speaker 1: I love my job. I appreciate that God is blessed
Speaker 1: you with the job. I appreciate the fact that I mean,
Speaker 1: I literally went to the military for the water treatment
Speaker 1: training so I could become a water treatment operator. And
Speaker 1: now I am here, ladies and gentlemen, a water treatment operator,
Speaker 1: a production operator. I am so happy to have a job.
Speaker 1: But I'm just letting you guys know that we are
Speaker 1: all slaves to something, even to this day. Okay. And
Speaker 1: we could choose to love our job like the bond
Speaker 1: servants love their masters, or we could choose to just go.
Speaker 1: But some of you might own your own business, okay,
Speaker 1: and so you might tell me I'm not a slave
Speaker 1: to that, but you're still a slave to here more
Speaker 1: we gets, aren't you. So anyways, just letting you guys know.
Speaker 1: Let's see voluntary servitude. Okay, that's something that's discussed in
Speaker 1: verses sixteen through seventeen, till my notes provide for the
Speaker 1: possibility of a slave choosing to remain with their master
Speaker 1: out of love, illustrating a relationship based on mutual respect
Speaker 1: and affection. So, yeah, we have this thing where we
Speaker 1: think about slavery like they like, you know, these people
Speaker 1: back in the seventeen hundreds and eighteen hundred, all this stuff,
Speaker 1: you know that they were doing too, African Americans and
Speaker 1: all that. So our perception of slavery is different, like
Speaker 1: what we would probably think, like nobody's ever going to
Speaker 1: remain with their master. They were swipping their people with whips.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the same. Just letting you
Speaker 1: guys know. I don't think it was the same. You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously that's why there's bond servants and some people wanted
Speaker 1: to stay. And also these other you know, the way
Speaker 1: that they were, you know, the these other these slave
Speaker 1: owners that that were in America that they weren't they
Speaker 1: weren't doing that we're letting go free after seven years.
Speaker 1: They were just taking them as long as they wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know. So totally different. Okay, totally different, and just
Speaker 1: letting you guys know. So yeah, let's continue. We're going
Speaker 1: to go to Deuteronomy fifteen, verse nineteen. This is the
Speaker 1: law concerning firstborn animals. Before I go there, let me
Speaker 1: make sure I'm not so a fellow Hebrew Israelite who
Speaker 1: has become a servant due to debt or poverty is
Speaker 1: to be released in the seventh year. The Hebrew word
Speaker 1: for servant is eved, which can meant servant or slave.
Speaker 1: Your male servant and female servant. These these individuals who
Speaker 1: serve within a household are to be treated like with
Speaker 1: fairness and released in the sabbatical year. The Hebrew terms
Speaker 1: a ed or male servant a mob for female servant.
Speaker 1: So they're supposed to be treated with fairness, and they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be treated right. They're supposed to get fed,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to you know, they're not supposed to be
Speaker 1: treated poorly. They're they are working and they are assisting.
Speaker 1: But they're supposed to be treating them with fairness, which
Speaker 1: is something. You know. We have this odd thing about slavery.
Speaker 1: Obviously it was terrible and it was bad. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it anything was good about it, but there was
Speaker 1: probably maybe some that were treating people hopefully with fairness.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't there, I wasn't alive. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. I think that some of the history
Speaker 1: that we learn is either sideways or it's it's it's
Speaker 1: probably pushed too much in one direction or less in
Speaker 1: one direction. I'm not sure, so I don't like to
Speaker 1: talk about it. I mean, I don't really know, so
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about the cities of refuge.
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy fifteen the cities of refuge. Although not directly mentioned
Speaker 1: in this chapter, the concept of cities of retus is
Speaker 1: part of the border broader legal and social structure within
Speaker 1: which these laws operate. These cities provide a place of
Speaker 1: safety and a justice aligned with the themes of mercy
Speaker 1: and redemption found in Douronomy fifteen. Okay, cool, and so
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy fifteen eighteen. Here's something else that was in my notes.
Speaker 1: He encourages masters not to view the release of servants
Speaker 1: as a hardship, reminding them the value of the servants
Speaker 1: work do not regard as hardship. Right, So there's that.
Speaker 1: And then we're going to talk about the consecration of
Speaker 1: firstborn animals right now, So Verses nineteen through twenty three
Speaker 1: is going to go over the law concerning firstborn amimals.
Speaker 1: Let's go there. So it's Deuteronomy fifteen, verse nineteen. All
Speaker 1: the firstborn males that come from your herd and your flock,
Speaker 1: you shall sanctify to the Lord your God. You shall
Speaker 1: not work with the firstborn of your herd. You shall
Speaker 1: do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor
Speaker 1: shear the firstborn of your flock. You and your household
Speaker 1: shall eat it before the Lord your God, year by year,
Speaker 1: in the place which the Lord chooses. But if there's
Speaker 1: a defect in it, if if it is lame or blind,
Speaker 1: or as any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it
Speaker 1: to the Lord your God. You may eat it within
Speaker 1: your gates. The unclean. The clean person alike may eat
Speaker 1: it as if they were as if it were a
Speaker 1: gazelle or dear. Only you shall not eat its blood.
Speaker 1: You shall pour it on the ground like water. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's an example. If you were having let's say,
Speaker 1: let's say you were having the governor of California, which
Speaker 1: I probably would never eat it with that guy, but
Speaker 1: that's probably a bad example. Let's say you're having dinner
Speaker 1: with President Trump and he's coming over to your house.
Speaker 1: Or let's say if you're in the military and uh,
Speaker 1: the sergeant major of the army was coming over, you know,
Speaker 1: and and he comes over and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I'm gonna cook you this sheep, and
Speaker 1: the sheep's coming up, limping with one eye like, and
Speaker 1: you're like, that's the sheep I chose. And you have
Speaker 1: all these great sheep around you, and you choose that
Speaker 1: one to feed your sergeant major or the president or whatever.
Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna choose that one. So don't choose
Speaker 1: that one for God. Okay. If it's limping like with
Speaker 1: one eye coming over and it looks all defected, God
Speaker 1: doesn't want that. God wants your best. And that's the
Speaker 1: same thing you would do if you had someone you're
Speaker 1: trying to impress, your boss, your ceo, whatever's coming over
Speaker 1: for dinner. You're not gonna grab this beat up lamb
Speaker 1: with one eye that's that's limping over here. You know,
Speaker 1: looks defective. Nah, And you're probably gonna grab the best
Speaker 1: of your flock. So that's what God wants. What more
Speaker 1: is God than your boss or ceo, President Trump or
Speaker 1: what what the heck? Not even saying all those people
Speaker 1: should opress you anyways, But I'm just making an example
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Okay, So versus nineteen instructor israeites to
Speaker 1: consecrate the first more males of their herds and the
Speaker 1: flocks of the Lord. There's no work, which we talked about.
Speaker 1: Let's check the teaching points. They really didn't say much
Speaker 1: on that portion. Okay, didn't really have much on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, perfect, And we can go over voluntary
Speaker 1: servitude we already talked about. We can go over some
Speaker 1: practical applications that's going to be UH practice forgiveness. Consider
Speaker 1: how you can apply the principle of debt forgiveness in
Speaker 1: your own life, whether they're whether through financial means or
Speaker 1: relational forgiveness. Cultivate generosity. Look for opportunities to be generous
Speaker 1: with your resources, time, and talents, especially towards those in need.
Speaker 1: Definitely I agree with all that reflect on God's provision.
Speaker 1: Trusting God's promise to provide for your needs as you
Speaker 1: obey his commands, live out his principles. Okay, God will
Speaker 1: provide for your needs. Okay, just obey his commands and
Speaker 1: your life will be blessed. You know why because you
Speaker 1: know what happens. You know what happens with What happens
Speaker 1: with with you is when you're disobeying God, it ends
Speaker 1: up causing major problems in your life. If you're with
Speaker 1: your wife, and you're treating her and you're loving her
Speaker 1: like Christ love the Church, like the Bible says, and
Speaker 1: you're being obedient to God. You're living God's will. You're
Speaker 1: reading the Bible to your family. You're being great guy.
Speaker 1: You're taking care of your wife. You're being a servant,
Speaker 1: You're doing everything you could do, doing the dishes, taking
Speaker 1: care of you know, every need. And your wife's taking
Speaker 1: care of all your needs. And he's doing all the
Speaker 1: stuff that she's supposed to do. Your life is running
Speaker 1: like a machine, you know what I mean. And it's
Speaker 1: it's it just does it's just great things. But when
Speaker 1: you're disobeying God's commands, not living God's will and doing
Speaker 1: your own thing, coming home from work, throwing your feet
Speaker 1: up on the couch like hey, give me a beard,
Speaker 1: clean the kitchen to your wife, not loving her like Christ,
Speaker 1: Love the Church, then then all of a sudden things
Speaker 1: are gonna start going sideways. It causes arguments, it causes fights,
Speaker 1: and then when your wife, you know, might have that
Speaker 1: time of the month, she might be a little edgy,
Speaker 1: and then you're like over here, like whatever, start fighting
Speaker 1: with her. It's gonna cause problems. But if you're doing
Speaker 1: God's will, you have patience. Love is kind love his patient.
Speaker 1: It does not it does not love evil. I can't
Speaker 1: remember what it is. But you know, if you follow
Speaker 1: all these you follow the Bible and you're doing God's will,
Speaker 1: your life is not gonna be perfect, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: be so much stress free. And then you're not gonna
Speaker 1: have all these convictions. There's not gonna be an elephant
Speaker 1: on your chest when your wife's in the room, But
Speaker 1: when you're doing things that are bad and disrespectful to
Speaker 1: her and you're doing things that are against God's will,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have all this conviction. You're gonna have an
Speaker 1: elephant in the room all the time. Okay, So reflect
Speaker 1: on God's provision. And it's also wifes to husbands too.
Speaker 1: Make sure that you are also doing everything the Bible
Speaker 1: says for you to do as well. Right, not just
Speaker 1: the husband. But I just speak from a man's point
Speaker 1: of view. That's why I say that trust in God's
Speaker 1: promise to provide for your needs. We already talked about
Speaker 1: that value freedom and justice. Advocate for justice and freedom
Speaker 1: in your community, remembering the importance of treating others with dignity,
Speaker 1: and respect. Whether you're dealing with someone at the grocery store,
Speaker 1: or you're dealing with someone at the gas station, or
Speaker 1: you're dealing with somebody that's walking by you, or whether
Speaker 1: you're dealing with someone in church, whether you're dealing with
Speaker 1: someone in school, whether you're dealing with somebody in college,
Speaker 1: whether you're dealing with someone with somebody that's an employee,
Speaker 1: whether you're dealing with anybody, Treat them with respect for sure, dignity,
Speaker 1: respect and integrity. When you give someone your word, keep
Speaker 1: your word. When you're dealing with your wife, deal with
Speaker 1: respect and dignity and love. When you're dealing with your kids, dignity, respect,
Speaker 1: and love. Okay, And for some reason I have on here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is Malachi one eight. This has to
Speaker 1: do with the firstborn animals. Malachi one eight. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I will probably read that to you from the new
Speaker 1: King James, because I don't want to give you some
Speaker 1: water downversh. Sorry, sorry, ESV. I just want to not saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying. I'm just saying, I just
Speaker 1: want to try to right. Malachi one verse eight. Let's see,
Speaker 1: and when you offer the blind as a sacrifice is
Speaker 1: it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick,
Speaker 1: is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor?
Speaker 1: Would you be pleased with you? Would it be accept
Speaker 1: Would he accept you favorably? Says the Lord of Hosts.
Speaker 1: But now entreat God's favor that he may be gracious
Speaker 1: to us while being done by your hands. Will they
Speaker 1: accept you favorably? Says the Lord of host So what
Speaker 1: he's trying to tell you is the same exact thing
Speaker 1: I told you where I told you that you know,
Speaker 1: what would you what would you? Uh? What would you
Speaker 1: cook for the governor? You know? And that's what? More
Speaker 1: is the governor than to God? God? Is this way
Speaker 1: more important than anybody anybody? Okay, okay, let's continue. Should
Speaker 1: be more important than your wife, okay, more important than
Speaker 1: your kids, more important than anything or anybody. So now
Speaker 1: we're gonna go over this kind of go over this
Speaker 1: kind of quickly, because this is this review, the passover reviewed. Okay,
Speaker 1: And well I always say go over something quickly, and
Speaker 1: then I get into my notes and it's not quickly. Right,
Speaker 1: let's go over here? Oh wait, I'm sorry, yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: I want to have practical applications for that chapter perfect.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over Deuteronomy the Passover Deuteronomy sixteen
Speaker 1: one through eight. Deuteronomy sixteen one says, observe the month
Speaker 1: of a Bib and keep the passover of the Lord
Speaker 1: your God. For in the month of a Bib, the
Speaker 1: Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Speaker 1: Therefore you shall sacrifice the passover to the Lord your
Speaker 1: God from the flock and the herd in the place
Speaker 1: where the Lord chooses to put his name. You shall
Speaker 1: eat no leaven bread within it seven days. You shall
Speaker 1: eat on leaven bread with it, that is the bread
Speaker 1: of affliction. For you come out of the land of
Speaker 1: Egypt in haste that you may remember the day in
Speaker 1: which you came out of the land of Egypt all
Speaker 1: the days of your life. And no leaven shall be
Speaker 1: among you in your territory for seven days, nor shall
Speaker 1: any of the meat which you sacrify the ice the
Speaker 1: first day at twilight remain overnight until morning. So what
Speaker 1: it's saying, leven repriments sin so that he wants unleavened bread, right,
Speaker 1: so sinless. And I want to tell you this. Let's see,
Speaker 1: that's going to be four through Okay, let me continue.
Speaker 1: You may not sacrifice the Passover with any of the gates.
Speaker 1: You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of the
Speaker 1: gates which your Lord or God gives you. But at
Speaker 1: the place where the Lord your God chooses to make
Speaker 1: his name abide. There you shall sacrifice the Passover at twilight,
Speaker 1: at the going down of the sun, at the time
Speaker 1: you come out of Egypt, and you shall roast and
Speaker 1: eat it in the place where the Lord your God chooses.
Speaker 1: And in the morning you shall turn and go to
Speaker 1: your tents. Six days you shall eat eleven bread, and
Speaker 1: on the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly
Speaker 1: to the Lord your God. You shall do no work
Speaker 1: on it. Right, So it's a sabbath, right, So all right,
Speaker 1: So that makes sense. So let's let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: read some teaching points. The Passover is a commemoration of
Speaker 1: Israel's deliverance from Egypt, highlighting God's power and faithfulness. It
Speaker 1: is to be observed in the month of a Bib,
Speaker 1: marking that the beginning of the Jewish religious calendar. The
Speaker 1: sacrifice must be made at the place of God chooses,
Speaker 1: emphasizing the importance of worshiping. According to God's and instructions.
Speaker 1: So Deuteronomy sixteen wfirst to Egypt. That's a place where
Speaker 1: the Israelites were delivered. The first States observed the month
Speaker 1: of a Bib to celebrate the Lord your God, that
Speaker 1: which we already went through. The Hebrew word for Egypt
Speaker 1: is mitzra jim, which is often associated with the idea
Speaker 1: of a narrow or constructed place, symbolizing the bondage from
Speaker 1: which the Israelites were freed. Deuteronomy the phrase the place
Speaker 1: the Lord wills. Okay, so let's see it. It's actually
Speaker 1: refers to the pacific location where God would choose to
Speaker 1: establish his name and where the Israelites were to bring
Speaker 1: their sacrifice in offering. The exact locations not named to
Speaker 1: this chapter, but it is understood to be Jerusalem, where
Speaker 1: the temple was eventually built. The Hebrew word for choose
Speaker 1: is bachar bakar, indicating a deliberate selection by God. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we got to understand that, and we'll go over
Speaker 1: a few other things. The month of a bib, the
Speaker 1: month of a bib and celebrate the passover the Lord
Speaker 1: your God. Because of the month Dinonymy sixteen, the word
Speaker 1: a bib refers to the first month of the Hebrew calendar,
Speaker 1: marking the beginning of the barley harvest and the time
Speaker 1: of Exodus. The next thing is to celebrate Passover Denonyomy
Speaker 1: sixteen to two. The Passover Pasakh commemorates the israelites deliverance
Speaker 1: from Egypt, emphasizing the importance of sacrifice and obedience, which
Speaker 1: you talked about. Eating unleven bred okay, so eleven bread
Speaker 1: matzat symbolizes the haste of the exodus and the purity
Speaker 1: required in worship. No leaven to be seen Dounonomy sixteen four.
Speaker 1: The absence of leven signifies, which is seure signifies the
Speaker 1: removal of sin and corruption Dononomy sixteen to five. The
Speaker 1: centralization of worship as designated place underscores the unity and
Speaker 1: holiness of the community Denonomy sixteen nine. I don't think
Speaker 1: we've done yet, so let me just hold off on
Speaker 1: that and reading that part, and let's read it Deteronomy
Speaker 1: sixteen verse nine. You shall count seven weeks for yourself.
Speaker 1: Begin to count the seven weeks from the time you
Speaker 1: begin to put the sickle to the grain. Then you
Speaker 1: shall keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God.
Speaker 1: With the tribute of a farewell fare farewell of a
Speaker 1: free will offering from your hand, which you shall give
Speaker 1: as the Lord your God blesses you. You shall rejoice
Speaker 1: before the Lord your God, You and your son, and
Speaker 1: your daughter, your mail sir, your female servant, the levite
Speaker 1: who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless,
Speaker 1: and the widow, who are among you, at the place
Speaker 1: where the Lord your God chooses to make his name abide.
Speaker 1: And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt.
Speaker 1: And you shall be careful to observe these statutes. Needed
Speaker 1: some more water, So celebrate the feast of weeks known
Speaker 1: as chevat what you guys have probably heard that the
Speaker 1: feast marks the completion of the grain harvest giving and
Speaker 1: the giving of the Torah. Okay, the next verse is
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy sixteen eleven. They command the command to rejoice. Shamack
Speaker 1: emphasizes communal joy and inclusivi inclusivity in worship. And then
Speaker 1: did we do Nope, we haven't done that yet. The
Speaker 1: feast of tabernacles reviewed. So we're gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: go there. And uh, this is Deuteronomy sixteen, verse thirteen.
Speaker 1: You shall observe the feast of tabernacles. Seven days, when
Speaker 1: you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your
Speaker 1: wine press, you shall rejoice in your feast. You and
Speaker 1: your son and your daughter, your male servant, your female servant,
Speaker 1: and the levite, the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow,
Speaker 1: who are within your gates. Seven days you shall keep
Speaker 1: a sacred feast to the Lord your God in the
Speaker 1: place which the Lord chooses. Because the Lord your God
Speaker 1: will bless you and all your produce and all your
Speaker 1: work in your hands, so you so that you surely rejoice.
Speaker 1: It's the end of that little portion. So in Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: sixteen thirteen also knows this no known as Sukut, the
Speaker 1: feast commemorates the Israelites will this journey in God's provision.
Speaker 1: So a lot of this stuff I went over before.
Speaker 1: So I have a little something for you guys. Here,
Speaker 1: a little something extra here, right, So I've gone over
Speaker 1: this before, so I have some there's some gems in
Speaker 1: this Bible. Study notes that I have Deuteronomy sixteen, verse sixteen.
Speaker 1: Three times a year, all of your males shall appear
Speaker 1: before the Lord your God in the place which he
Speaker 1: chooses at the feast of unleavened bread, at the feast
Speaker 1: of weeks, at the feast of Tabernacles. They shall not
Speaker 1: appear before the Lord empty handed. Every man shall give
Speaker 1: as he is able, according to the blessing of the
Speaker 1: Lord your God, which he has given you. Okay. In
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy sixteen sixteen, these pilgrimage festivals shall loose rajalim highlight
Speaker 1: the rhythm of the worship and the covenant relationship with God.
Speaker 1: In Deuteronomy sixteen sixteen through seventeen, the principle of giving
Speaker 1: naton is the word in Hebrew reflects gratitude and acknowledgment
Speaker 1: of God's provisions. Very nice. Is there any teaching points
Speaker 1: that I may be missing? Yes. The feast of Tabernacle,
Speaker 1: which we read this feast is the celebration of harvest
Speaker 1: and reminder of Israel's wilderness journey. It is a time
Speaker 1: of joy and gratitude, lasting seven days. All males are
Speaker 1: required to appear before the Lord, signifying the importance of
Speaker 1: communal worship and accountability. Now we're going to do Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: sixteen eighteen through twenty two, and this is going to
Speaker 1: be justice and worship. Justice, must be administered. Deuteronomy sixteen,
Speaker 1: verse eighteen. You shall appoint judges an office in all
Speaker 1: your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according
Speaker 1: to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with
Speaker 1: just judgment. You shall not pervert injustice. You shall not
Speaker 1: show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds
Speaker 1: the eyes of the wise and twists the words of
Speaker 1: the rights. I wish our government would uh listen to that.
Speaker 1: You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may
Speaker 1: live and inherit the land which your Lord your God
Speaker 1: is giving you. You shall not plant yourselves any tree
Speaker 1: as a wooden image near the altar which you build
Speaker 1: for yourselves to the Lord your God. You shall not
Speaker 1: set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God
Speaker 1: hates justice and worship. So in verses eighteen through twenty two,
Speaker 1: the appointment of judges and officials is commanded doing sure
Speaker 1: justice and righteousness in the land. The prohibition against idolatry
Speaker 1: and setting up a sacred stone of asherah poles highlights
Speaker 1: the need for pure worship. So obviously the Pagans were
Speaker 1: setting up astroot polls and all this different things. God
Speaker 1: is saying not to do that. Okay, that's all that
Speaker 1: is set up being set apart. That's the end of
Speaker 1: the chapter, and I want to go over some practical applications.
Speaker 1: Let me make sure I'm not missing anything down here.
Speaker 1: The principle of giving the ton we already talked about.
Speaker 1: So let's go over practical applications we can apply to
Speaker 1: our life. Remember and celebrate God's faithfulness regularly. Set aside
Speaker 1: time to reflect on and celebrate God's work in your life.
Speaker 1: That is such a something we should definitely do. Our
Speaker 1: life is running so fast and we have so many
Speaker 1: things coming at us. That's how I feel sometimes. I'm
Speaker 1: a high functioning person, so I like a lot of
Speaker 1: things happening, you know, and I have to always be creating.
Speaker 1: That's just the way my mind works. Whether it's I'm
Speaker 1: not creating music really much anymore, so I'm creating more
Speaker 1: for my podcasts and stuff like that. So I have
Speaker 1: a lot going on, but I have to set aside
Speaker 1: time to reflect on and celebrate God's work in my life.
Speaker 1: God has worked in my life so much, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I went from went from struggling so much, you know,
Speaker 1: struggling so much, to where I'm at today is just amazing.
Speaker 1: God is so great. Cultivate a heart of gratitude. Practice
Speaker 1: gratitude by acknowledging God's provision and sharing your blessings with others,
Speaker 1: especially those in need. And we talked about that in
Speaker 1: the last chapter. We need to do that for sure.
Speaker 1: Help those in need. Don't be afraid to give someone
Speaker 1: the shirt off your back or a jacket in your car,
Speaker 1: or food or whatever somebody needs that's in need. You know.
Speaker 1: Pursue justice and righteousness. Engage in actions and decisions that
Speaker 1: promote justice and reflect God's character in your community. Age
Speaker 1: and actions and decisions that promote justice and reflect God's character. Yes,
Speaker 1: we need to reflect God. We need to reflect God's
Speaker 1: character so much as much as possible. I know that
Speaker 1: we're human and sometimes we get mad, sometimes we get angry,
Speaker 1: sometimes we have issues with that, but we need to
Speaker 1: definitely reflect God's character in our community. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: That's how you attract people to the faith. That's how
Speaker 1: people will come to you and say, what do you
Speaker 1: have that I don't have? What is that joy in
Speaker 1: your life? Why are you so nice when someone might
Speaker 1: be mean to you? Why do you treat that person
Speaker 1: with such kindness and compassion when most people don't act
Speaker 1: like that. Why do you always say hi to each
Speaker 1: person you see? Why do you always say good morning?
Speaker 1: And how you doing? How's everything going? Why you always
Speaker 1: check on your friends? Why you always check on people?
Speaker 1: Why are you always filled with love? Why are you
Speaker 1: that person? Why? Because you're reflecting God's character in your community?
Speaker 1: Worship in spirit and truth, ensure that your worship is
Speaker 1: aligned with God's word, free from idology and distractions. How
Speaker 1: do you ensure that your worship is aligned with God's word?
Speaker 1: Read the Bible. That is it and we are reading
Speaker 1: it right now. That's the only way you can make
Speaker 1: sure that what you are, how you are worshiping is
Speaker 1: aligning with God's word. Okay, you have to know God's word.
Speaker 1: And this is why we have these kind of studies.
Speaker 1: This is why I'm really appreciative of having this show
Speaker 1: because you know it will really assist people, hopefully in
Speaker 1: knowing how to worship God. So, okay, so we're done
Speaker 1: with that chapter. All I have left for Deudonomy sixteen
Speaker 1: is some additional scriptures Exodus twelve Versus one through fourteen.
Speaker 1: Those are like Chapter one all the way through fourteen
Speaker 1: is what are originally talks about passover. Okay, So Exodus
Speaker 1: twelve verses one through fourteen, if you want to go
Speaker 1: back and study those, it'll tell you about what happened
Speaker 1: and what passovers all about. Acts two versus one through
Speaker 1: four the fulfillment of the feast of weeks at Pentecost
Speaker 1: with the coming of the Holy Spirit, if you want
Speaker 1: to read that, Acts two, verses one through four. And
Speaker 1: then we have John seven thirty seven through thirty nine,
Speaker 1: Jesus teaching during the feast of Tabernaco's offering living water.
Speaker 1: Check that out. And then Maca six verse eight. Chapter
Speaker 1: six verse eight has a call to act justly, love mercy,
Speaker 1: and walk humbly with God. So that is some extra verses.
Speaker 1: If you want to do some extra studies and that
Speaker 1: I'll definitely assist you find out what passover is. You know,
Speaker 1: that's always good to know. So we'll go to Doudo
Speaker 1: to be seventeen. I'm not going to go over all
Speaker 1: that stuff because we've I've gone over that many times.
Speaker 1: And if you want to go back to my study
Speaker 1: on Exodus, Bam, you can go back and look in
Speaker 1: Sunday Service and you'll go to where I'm going over Exodus,
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do. Where's it
Speaker 1: at Exodus twelve, verses one through fourteen. You will see
Speaker 1: where I talk about passover. Also I talk about passover
Speaker 1: when we're going into Leviticus as well. I don't remember
Speaker 1: what episode that is, but yeah, if you want to
Speaker 1: go over that, I will get into it. But this
Speaker 1: is all kind of review for everybody. So the ones
Speaker 1: that have been sticking with me week by week probably
Speaker 1: already have a good idea. So now we're going to
Speaker 1: be on Deuteronomy seventeen. Here we go, perfect Deuteronomy seventeen.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start out with various instructions. I think there's
Speaker 1: some stuff about idolatry in here. Yep. Cool, seventeen is
Speaker 1: fairly short, but we will get into it. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: one through seven is going to be prohibition, prohibition, prohibition
Speaker 1: or prohibiting of idolatry. Okay, So we are going to
Speaker 1: read it first, and then I got some verses and
Speaker 1: stuff that you need to study about idolatry, so you
Speaker 1: know exactly what that is, and let's get into it.
Speaker 1: It says you shall not sacrifice to the Lord a
Speaker 1: bull or sheep that has any blemish or defect or
Speaker 1: this is an abomination to the Lord your God. We
Speaker 1: already talked about it, right. You want to give God
Speaker 1: your best, just like you would give to your father
Speaker 1: in law, or your governor, or your senator, or your mayor,
Speaker 1: or whatever you think is a your highly respectivele person.
Speaker 1: I just think everybody's everybody. I don't look at people
Speaker 1: any different. But when it comes to God, obviously you
Speaker 1: want to offer your best. Deuteronomy seventeen, verse two. If
Speaker 1: there is found among you, within any of your gates,
Speaker 1: which the Lord your God gives you, a man or
Speaker 1: a woman who has been wicked in the sight of
Speaker 1: the Lord your God in transgressing his covenant, who has
Speaker 1: gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the
Speaker 1: Sun or moon, or any of the host of heaven,
Speaker 1: which I have not commanded. And it is told to
Speaker 1: you that you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently.
Speaker 1: And it is if it is indeed true and certain
Speaker 1: that such an abomination has been committed in Israel, then
Speaker 1: you shall bring out, bring out to your gates that
Speaker 1: man or woman who has committed the wicked thing, and
Speaker 1: shall stone to death. That man or woman with stones,
Speaker 1: whoever is deserving of death, shall be put to death
Speaker 1: on the testimony of two or three witnesses. It can't
Speaker 1: just be one person that has a vendetta against somebody
Speaker 1: trying to get someone in trouble. It has to be
Speaker 1: two or three witnesses. He should not be put to
Speaker 1: death in the testimony of one witness. The hands of
Speaker 1: the witness shall be the first against him to be
Speaker 1: put him to death, and afterward the hands of all
Speaker 1: the people. So you shall put away the evil among you.
Speaker 1: Why would God care about you worshiping the sun? Why
Speaker 1: would God care about you worshiping the moon? Why would
Speaker 1: God care about you worshiping the host of heaven. Listen
Speaker 1: to my biblical cosmology. Listen to the way I teach
Speaker 1: on when I jump on people's shows. I'm telling you, guys,
Speaker 1: there's more going on in the heavens. What does it
Speaker 1: say in Ephesians six versus twelve when it says we've
Speaker 1: wrestled not against flesh and butter or principalities and evil.
Speaker 1: Principality is a vase in heavenly places. What is it
Speaker 1: talking about the only heavenly places that there is is
Speaker 1: if you look up where the moon, sun of the
Speaker 1: stars are located, that's where the principalities of evil are located.
Speaker 1: That's the heavenly places. There's not principalities of evil located
Speaker 1: in in God's throne. What is below God's thrown well
Speaker 1: the firmament Ezekiel one twenty six, Ezekiel ten to one,
Speaker 1: Isaiah forty twenty two. God is looking down on the
Speaker 1: circle of the Earth. I mean, there's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of verses. But all I'm telling you, guys, is between
Speaker 1: Earth and Heaven. How we're far away it is, we
Speaker 1: don't know. And whether you believe in a heliocentric globe
Speaker 1: or you believe in biblical cosmology, whatever you want to believe,
Speaker 1: all I'm telling you is that where the moon, sun
Speaker 1: of the stars are located is where the battles are happening.
Speaker 1: The spiritual battles are happening. Why do we call planets,
Speaker 1: or what we call in the Bible wandering stars? Why
Speaker 1: are they named after a bunch of gods Saturn, Mars, Jupiter.
Speaker 1: Why they are wandering stars? They are not doing the
Speaker 1: same path that God wants the stars to be doing.
Speaker 1: They're wandering. That's what they're called in the Greek wandering
Speaker 1: stars planets. They're named after all these different gods because
Speaker 1: people are worshiping them. Why do you think that Warner
Speaker 1: von Braun called it saturn five Saturnalia, Brotherhood of saturn
Speaker 1: Elia in Germany, that is where he came from. Brotherhood
Speaker 1: of saturn Elia is a secret society there. All I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, guys is look what God says right here.
Speaker 1: And you, guys, you know what. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: dig into biblical causemulgerator, I'm just trying to tell you guys.
Speaker 1: It says he's saying not to worship the sun, the moon,
Speaker 1: or any of the hosts of heaven. He's not even
Speaker 1: calling them stars, He's calling them host of heaven. Ooh, well,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and go to a strong skydcordance and
Speaker 1: find out what that means. Because I want to know
Speaker 1: exactly what that means.
Speaker 2: I go to.
Speaker 1: Genesis Deuteronomy seventeen. This is the blue Letter Bible, if
Speaker 1: you guys want to do this. Deuteronomy seventeen. I go
Speaker 1: to verse three because he had got out sources up
Speaker 1: the sun, moon, or any of the host of heaven.
Speaker 1: That's what it says right here in the King James
Speaker 1: and in the New King James. What in the heck
Speaker 1: are the host of heaven an army, host of angels,
Speaker 1: the sun, moon and stars the whole creation war warfare service,
Speaker 1: go out to war service. Is it saying that the
Speaker 1: host of heaven or that stars or angels? Oh, oh man,
Speaker 1: look at you strong co accordance, listen to that. Yes,
Speaker 1: God doesn't want you to worship them. Because the stars
Speaker 1: biblically are angels. What does Satan do he takes a
Speaker 1: third of the stars with him. What does it say
Speaker 1: in Isaiah Isaiah that the host of heaven are going
Speaker 1: to fall to the earth. What does it say in
Speaker 1: the Book of Revelation all the stars are going to
Speaker 1: fall to the earth. Am I telling you that every
Speaker 1: single angel that God has ever created as a star. No,
Speaker 1: what I am telling you is, Biblically, stars are angels.
Speaker 1: Scientifically stars are balls of gas. And all the different
Speaker 1: things he tried to tell you that are twenty four
Speaker 1: train miles away. But what I'm telling you in the
Speaker 1: Bible is that stars are angels a type of angel.
Speaker 1: Book of Enoch will tell you the same thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: But I'm just letting you guys know, there's something more
Speaker 1: to between us and heaven. Where the moon, sun, and
Speaker 1: the stars are located. There's something more there. That's why
Speaker 1: God doesn't want you to worship them. The people were
Speaker 1: worshiping the sun in where Egypt the moon. Oh, we
Speaker 1: know who worshiped the moon. You know, it's on their
Speaker 1: flags all the time, Muslim even though they don't know it.
Speaker 1: But you know, you see the moon all over the place.
Speaker 1: You see the sun all over the place. Shell gas
Speaker 1: station is the sun. I mean, you see the sun.
Speaker 1: Even the Walmart sign a sun. You see the sun everywhere.
Speaker 1: Egypt was worshiping the sun. That's raw, that's Osyrus. You
Speaker 1: have Apollo, you have all these different gods. People worshiping
Speaker 1: the stars, worshiping planets. There's a lot of that, and
Speaker 1: God is saying not to do that. And what does God?
Speaker 1: He doesn't want you to mix their pagan worship with
Speaker 1: worshiping him. He doesn't want you to worship the creation.
Speaker 1: He wants you to worship the Creator. Which makes total sense. Okay,
Speaker 1: it makes total sense, But it's really interesting that that
Speaker 1: word host. It says that which goes forth army war warfare. Host.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, guys, the spiritual battles are happening between
Speaker 1: Earth and Heaven. Biblically, that's what we need in the
Speaker 1: biblical sense. So I just want you to know that
Speaker 1: there's something there that's more, that's incredible. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: do I did a show on this and a very
Speaker 1: deep study on this, and it just came out. It'll
Speaker 1: be out soon on once I receive it. I just
Speaker 1: recorded it on someone else's show. Once I received this show,
Speaker 1: i'll put it out. And when I put it out,
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys know, so you guys can see
Speaker 1: what I found. It is incredible. Okay, Sorry I got
Speaker 1: a little off track, but this is just stuff that
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in. So okay, So we went over that,
Speaker 1: and what I want to tell you guys is Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: seventeen one through seven emphasizes the seriousness of idolatry and
Speaker 1: the need for thorough investigation before administering justice. You must
Speaker 1: not sacrifice to the Lord. You must not sacrifice to
Speaker 1: the Lord your God. An oxis sheep with any defect
Speaker 1: or flaw. It is detestable to him. That's Deuteronomy seventeen
Speaker 1: one and prohibition of defective sacrifices, which we just talked about.
Speaker 1: The Hebrew word for defect is mum. Emphasizes the sounds
Speaker 1: like how a cow sounds. A mum emphasizes the requirement
Speaker 1: for offerings to be without blemish, reflecting God's holiness and
Speaker 1: the need for purity and worship, and then punishment for idology.
Speaker 1: If a man or woman has found among the Azeites
Speaker 1: who has worshiped committed idolatry by worshiping other gods, they
Speaker 1: shut they are to be thoroughly investigated. If proven true,
Speaker 1: the guilty party is to be stoned to death. This
Speaker 1: underscores the saredness of idology and the need to maintain
Speaker 1: covenant faithfulness. God does not want you to come in
Speaker 1: there and mix pagan with God worshiping God, and that's
Speaker 1: happening right now in our church. Man's traditions coming in
Speaker 1: and they want you to worship, you know, they want
Speaker 1: you to have all these new things they're adding to it.
Speaker 1: You know, God doesn't want that you're poisoning the well.
Speaker 1: It's like if you have a cup of water and
Speaker 1: it's pure water, and then you put three drops of
Speaker 1: poison in there and you drink it, you could die.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the same thing that's happening there. He
Speaker 1: doesn't want to bring that poison into the camp. And
Speaker 1: then they start poisoning other people, and other people are
Speaker 1: starting to worship the moon, the sun, and the stars
Speaker 1: and the host of heaven. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you got one hundred people doing that, and then now
Speaker 1: they're not worshiping God anymore. That's why they're to be
Speaker 1: taken out and stoned and taken out. It's like, pluck
Speaker 1: it at the root and get them out of here.
Speaker 1: Requirement of two to three witnesses Deuteronomy seventeen six. A
Speaker 1: person cannot be put to death in the testimony of
Speaker 1: only two or three witnesses. There must be two or
Speaker 1: three witnesses. The principle of requiring multiple witnesses a deem
Speaker 1: ensures justice and prevents false accusation and then the execution
Speaker 1: of the sentence. The witnesses are to be the first
Speaker 1: to okay, the witnesses are to be the first to
Speaker 1: cast stones. That's very important because if the witnesses are lying,
Speaker 1: they're not going to cast the stone. They're probably gonna
Speaker 1: go I lied, Please don't do this, and then they're
Speaker 1: gonna get killed, you know what I mean, But you
Speaker 1: know probably, and then the rest of the people will
Speaker 1: start the act of communal participating in justice serves as
Speaker 1: a deterrent to sin and reinforce the community role in
Speaker 1: upholding God's law. Very important. Now, let's go over some
Speaker 1: other verses that talk about idolatry throughout the Bible. The
Speaker 1: Bible explicitly condemns warning against worshiping or giving devotion into
Speaker 1: anything or anyone other than God. Key verses highlight the prohibition,
Speaker 1: including an Exodus twenty verses three through six, which declares
Speaker 1: you shall have no other gods before Me and prohibits
Speaker 1: making or bowing to any image. Other verses emphasizing this
Speaker 1: fullishness of idolatries and its consequences, like Isaiah forty nine
Speaker 1: through twenty and Romans one twenty one through twenty three.
Speaker 1: Key Bible verses on idolatry are Exodus twenty verses three
Speaker 1: through six, which I kind of already went over for
Speaker 1: you guys. It says you shall not make no other
Speaker 1: gods before me. You shall not make yourselves an image
Speaker 1: in the form of anything in heaven above or on earth,
Speaker 1: or in the waters below. You shall not bow down
Speaker 1: to them or worship them. Leviticus twenty six to one.
Speaker 1: You shall not make idols for yourselves or wrecked an
Speaker 1: image or pillar. You shall not set up a figured
Speaker 1: stone in your land to bow down to it. Psalms
Speaker 1: one fifteen, verses four through eight. The song ridicules idols,
Speaker 1: highlighting the inability to speak, see, or to hear, and
Speaker 1: mocks those who make and trust in them. Okay, so
Speaker 1: now we have Romans twenty one through twenty three. For
Speaker 1: although they knew God, they neither glorify, hit him as God,
Speaker 1: nor gave thanks to him. But their thinking became futile,
Speaker 1: and their foolish minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise,
Speaker 1: they became fools. They exchanged the glory of the immoral
Speaker 1: God for images made to look like mortal people and
Speaker 1: birds and animals and crawling things. For this reason God
Speaker 1: gave them over to shameful passions. That's Romans one through
Speaker 1: twenty six. UH one First John five twenty months. The
Speaker 1: little children, keep yourselves from idols Colossians three five mortify.
Speaker 1: Therefore the members of your earthy body, sexual immorality, impurity,
Speaker 1: unbridled pack and evil desires and coveraiousness which is idolatry.
Speaker 1: One Corinthians ten, fourteenth SSS. Therefore, my beloved flee from idolatry.
Speaker 1: Galatians five nineteen through twenty one lists idologies, along with
Speaker 1: other sins, as part the work of the flesh that
Speaker 1: will not inherit the kingdom of God. The nature of idology.
Speaker 1: The Bible defines idology as giving ultimate allegiance, worship, or
Speaker 1: devotion to anything or anyone other than God. Idols can
Speaker 1: be physical objects, but also include anything that takes the
Speaker 1: place of God in your heart, such as greed, LUs, jealousy, pride, okay.
Speaker 1: Idology is a serious sin that can lead to spiritual
Speaker 1: and physical ruin. The dangers of idology robs God of glory.
Speaker 1: Idolatry is a direct affront to God, who is the
Speaker 1: only one worthy to worship. It also causes spiritual corruption.
Speaker 1: Idolatry leads to hardening of the heart and dissent into
Speaker 1: spiritual darkness and physical ruin. Idolatry can bring about physical suffering, death,
Speaker 1: and judgment. I'm only going over these things because it's
Speaker 1: so vastly important to stay away from idolatry. Okay, that
Speaker 1: is why I am highlighting and emphasizing this. Okay, So
Speaker 1: Galatians five, I'm gonna go over this real quick. Nineteen
Speaker 1: through twenty five. Let me go now to Galatians five, Okay,
Speaker 1: because I want to make sure I'm hitting hard on this,
Speaker 1: because it's very important. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: go over something. I'm not gonna hit on something unless
Speaker 1: it's super important for you guys. Okay, Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go over Galatians nineteen through twenty five, so you guys
Speaker 1: understand this, the importance of this. Now, the works of
Speaker 1: the flesh are evident, which are adultry, fornication, uncleanliness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousness,
Speaker 1: outbursts of wrass, selflessness and bitsious dissensions, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness, revelries,
Speaker 1: and the like of which I tell you beforehand, just
Speaker 1: as I also told you in time past, that those
Speaker 1: who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Speaker 1: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
Speaker 1: long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithful, and his gentleness self control.
Speaker 1: Against such there is no law. And those who are
Speaker 1: Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Speaker 1: If we live in the spirit, let us live also.
Speaker 1: Let us walk in this spirit. Let us not become conceited,
Speaker 1: provoking one another and being one another. Okay, All of
Speaker 1: those things that I mentioned can become idols. Okay, and
Speaker 1: stand in the place of God. We don't want to
Speaker 1: do that, Okay. We do not want to have anything
Speaker 1: that's standing in place of God or the worship of God.
Speaker 1: Oh that was a lot, all right. So let's go
Speaker 1: here to Deuteronomy seventeen, verse eight. If a matter arises
Speaker 1: which is too hard for you to judge between degrees
Speaker 1: of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or
Speaker 1: between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates,
Speaker 1: then you shall arise and go to the place which
Speaker 1: the Lord your God chooses, And you shall not come
Speaker 1: to the priests, the levites, and to the judge there's
Speaker 1: there in those days, in acquire of them. They shall
Speaker 1: pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment. You shall do
Speaker 1: according to the careful to according to all that they
Speaker 1: order you according to the sentence in the law in
Speaker 1: which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they
Speaker 1: tell you shall do. You shall not turn aside to
Speaker 1: the right hand or to the left from the sentence
Speaker 1: which they pronounce upon you. Now, the man who acts
Speaker 1: presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister, Therefore,
Speaker 1: before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man
Speaker 1: shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel,
Speaker 1: and the people shall hear and fear, and no longer
Speaker 1: act presumptuously. So in Deuteronomy seventeen eight through nine, for
Speaker 1: difficult cases that are too hard to judge locally, the
Speaker 1: Israelites are to go to the place the Lord chooses
Speaker 1: that consult the levitical priest and the judge in office.
Speaker 1: The centralization of judicial authorities and church consistency and adherence
Speaker 1: to divine law and a judicial authority. You must act
Speaker 1: according to the verdict that they give you at the
Speaker 1: place the Lord will choose. Now we're going to go
Speaker 1: to guidelines for kingship, principal governings for kings. Let's see
Speaker 1: if there's any other teaching points for this portion. Did
Speaker 1: I go through tenth. Yeah, the people obedience to judicial decisions,
Speaker 1: the people that command to act according to the decisions
Speaker 1: given by the priests and judge without deviating to the
Speaker 1: right or left. This is obedience to judicial authority. Reflects
Speaker 1: the importance of maintaining order and justice in society. Deuteronomy
Speaker 1: seventeen twelve through thirteen, which we already went over. Anyone
Speaker 1: who shows contempt to the priests or judge must be
Speaker 1: put to death to purge the evil from Israel and
Speaker 1: to serve as a warning to others. This severe penalty
Speaker 1: highlights the gravity of undermining God given authority. Very interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's important to follow God. God shows these people their positions,
Speaker 1: especially the priesthood. Right, let's continue. Principal governing kings Deuteronomy seventeen,
Speaker 1: verse fourteen. And we've gone over a lot of this stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is kind of review for some people. Principal
Speaker 1: governing kings. When you come to the land which the
Speaker 1: Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and
Speaker 1: dwelling it, and say I will set a king over
Speaker 1: me like all the nations that are around me. You
Speaker 1: shall surely set a king over you whom your Lord,
Speaker 1: God chooses one from among you, your brethren, you shall
Speaker 1: set as king over you. You may not set a
Speaker 1: foreigner over you who is not your brother. But he
Speaker 1: shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people
Speaker 1: to return to Egypt to multiply horses. For the Lord
Speaker 1: has said to you, you shall not return that way again.
Speaker 1: Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart
Speaker 1: turn away, nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold
Speaker 1: for himself. So these are guidelines for a king. When
Speaker 1: they Israelites desire a king, there to be a point.
Speaker 1: They are to a point, one chosen by God from
Speaker 1: among their brothers, not a foreigner. This ensures that a
Speaker 1: king shares the same covenetual obligations and cultural identity as
Speaker 1: the people. As we know, the first king is King Saul,
Speaker 1: and he comes from Samuel, and Samuel annoints him with oil,
Speaker 1: so you know he chooses him, God chooses him to
Speaker 1: be king. So the people they have to know that.
Speaker 1: That's a guideline for becoming a king. Let's see, and
Speaker 1: then sixteen through seventeen, the king must not acquire many horses, wives,
Speaker 1: or excessive wealth. To prevent reliance on military power, foreign alliances,
Speaker 1: or materialism. These prohibitions aim to keep the king's heart
Speaker 1: aligned with God's purposes. Isn't this interesting that we have Solomon,
Speaker 1: He had many wives, excessive wealth. Right, he asked for
Speaker 1: wisdom and he got all that stuff. So I thought
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting when I was kind of studying.
Speaker 1: Right now now we're at Deuteronomy seventeen, verse eighteen. Also,
Speaker 1: it shall be when he sits on the throne of
Speaker 1: his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy
Speaker 1: of this book, this law, and a book for the
Speaker 1: one before the priest of Levites. It shall be with him,
Speaker 1: and he shall read it all the days of his life,
Speaker 1: and he shall may that he may learn to fear
Speaker 1: the Lord is God, and be careful to observe all
Speaker 1: the words of this law and these statutes, that his
Speaker 1: heart may not be lifted above his brethren, he may
Speaker 1: not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand
Speaker 1: or to the left, and that he may prolong his
Speaker 1: days in his kingdom, he and his children in the
Speaker 1: midst of Israel. This is a king's duty to the law.
Speaker 1: The king is to write for himself a copy of
Speaker 1: the law, read it all his life, and follow it carefully.
Speaker 1: This personal personal engagement with the law ensures that the
Speaker 1: king remains humble, obedient, and just leading the Nabel, leading
Speaker 1: the Nabel, leading the nation in righteousness vastly important. And
Speaker 1: then the king is instruction around themself. Yeah, we already
Speaker 1: talked about that. The guide, the guidelines for kingship. We
Speaker 1: already talked about that. No evidence, we already talked about
Speaker 1: that perfect Well, the only thing left is going to
Speaker 1: be the practical applications for you guys. Upholding justice ensure
Speaker 1: that justice is pursued with integrity and thoughtfulness and thoroughness
Speaker 1: in your community, reflecting God's standards. Yes, respect for others.
Speaker 1: Recognize and respect the role of leaders and authorities, Understanding
Speaker 1: that God given responsibility to maintain order. Yes, it would
Speaker 1: be nice if everybody that's in government follows God's law
Speaker 1: or God follows what God has to say, or you know,
Speaker 1: we're Christians, but unfortunately we don't have that now, right.
Speaker 1: I know, Roman's thirteen says certain things, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of hard to discern us certain things
Speaker 1: with the government that we have, you know, like sometimes
Speaker 1: we have people in power that are. But you know
Speaker 1: it's it's we we get give We get people given
Speaker 1: to us in power because we of our disobedience. So
Speaker 1: you want to have disobedience, then here you're gonna have
Speaker 1: this king or this president or this dictator whatever. It's Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's sad. But you know we there's people doing abortions,
Speaker 1: and people doing this and that and things that go
Speaker 1: against God and and uh stirring up. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: God to give you a leader that this is not
Speaker 1: going to be what we want. What you want respect
Speaker 1: for authority, recognize the respector old leaders. Where he talked
Speaker 1: about that leadership and accountability encourage leaders to be accountable
Speaker 1: to God's word, ensuring that they lead with humility and righteousness. Okay.
Speaker 1: Personal devotion to scripture like the king, commit to regular
Speaker 1: reading and meditation on Scripture to guide or decisions and actions.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That's why this this this
Speaker 1: study is so important. We're reading God's word every single
Speaker 1: Sunday so and every Wednesday. So I would just encourage
Speaker 1: you guys to stick with this and also encourage you
Speaker 1: to share the show with people that need this message. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just vastly important during this time, especially because it
Speaker 1: is just as you could tell, people need this right. So, okay,
Speaker 1: that's enough of that chapter. The only thing I can
Speaker 1: kind of tell you guys about is is there any
Speaker 1: scriptures that connect? Yes, we have justice and righteousness In
Speaker 1: Macaus six'. Eight he has shown you a man is.
Speaker 1: Good what does The lord require of you but to act,
Speaker 1: justly to love, mercy and to walk homely with Your.
Speaker 1: God respect for. AUTHORITY i talked about It romans thirteen to,
Speaker 1: One romans thirteen. One, SORRY i think that the screen
Speaker 1: Froze romans thirteen to. One let every soul be subject
Speaker 1: to the government. Authorities, yeah we already talked about, that
Speaker 1: but uh, yeah study, that and we need to do
Speaker 1: a deep study and dive on. That when we get To,
Speaker 1: romans we'll, help we'll do a really deep dive on.
Speaker 1: That leadership and humility One peter five two through. Three
Speaker 1: be shepherds Of god's, flock that is among, you watching
Speaker 1: over them not out of a compulsion, compulsion but because
Speaker 1: it Is god's, will not out of greed but out of,
Speaker 1: eagerness but lording it over to entrusted, you but being
Speaker 1: examples to the. Flock, okay so, yes that was really
Speaker 1: awesome good. Stuff we so the reflect of the Word
Speaker 1: god's Word, torah meaning the law or instruction of fighting
Speaker 1: the king's. Rule, OKAY i think that was enough of that.
Speaker 1: Chapter we are going to flip to my notes and
Speaker 1: go to chapter. Eighteen it's NICE i have two phones
Speaker 1: now because of the comment that one of the somebody
Speaker 1: made or they're, like, hey you need to switch to
Speaker 1: The you got to get to your notes a little, faster.
Speaker 1: BUDDY i think it was definitely a good, comment AND
Speaker 1: i am doing my very. Best deuteronomy eighteen is going
Speaker 1: to cover the portion of the priest And. Levites we
Speaker 1: have about fifteen minutes, left SO i think that this
Speaker 1: would be okay to. Finish we'll try to do our
Speaker 1: very best to get done in about fifteen minutes BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i try to keep it in about two. HOURS i
Speaker 1: want to keep you guys too long. Here deuteronomy, Eighteen verse,
Speaker 1: one the, priest The, levites all the tribe Of levi
Speaker 1: shall have no part nor inheritance With. Israel so he's
Speaker 1: reminding them once again about no inheritance for The. Levites
Speaker 1: they shall not eat the offerings of The lord made
Speaker 1: by fire and his. Portion therefore they shall not have
Speaker 1: no inheritance among their. Brethren The lord is their, inheritance
Speaker 1: and he said to, them and this shall be the
Speaker 1: priest due from the. People for those who offer a,
Speaker 1: sacrifice whether it is a bull or they shall give
Speaker 1: to the priest the, shoulder the, cheeks and the, stomach
Speaker 1: the fistful of your, grain and your new, wine and your,
Speaker 1: oil and the first of your fleece of your. Sheep
Speaker 1: you shall give. Him for The lord Your god has
Speaker 1: chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to
Speaker 1: minister in the name of The lord him and his sons.
Speaker 1: Forever so if a levite comes from any of your,
Speaker 1: gates from where he dwells Among, israel and comes with
Speaker 1: you all that desire of his mind to the place
Speaker 1: which The lord, chooses then he may serve the name
Speaker 1: of The, lord His, god and his, brethren the levite
Speaker 1: stew who stand there before The, lord they shall have
Speaker 1: equal portions to eat besides what comes from the sale
Speaker 1: of his. Inheritance, okay so. Listen deuteronomy one through eight
Speaker 1: outlines the provision for the levitical, priests emphasizing the role
Speaker 1: and the community's responsibility to support them the divitical. Priests,
Speaker 1: indeed the whole tribe Of levi shall have no portion
Speaker 1: or inheritance With. Israel they shall eat the, babe they
Speaker 1: shall eat the offerings made by fire to The, lord
Speaker 1: for that is their. Inheritance so we have that going.
Speaker 1: On and Then deuteronomy. Eighteen the chapter assumes that the
Speaker 1: place is not the, events the provision of the vedical,
Speaker 1: Priest so The hebrew term nack a law refers to
Speaker 1: the inheritance or, possession emphasizing that their portion is The lord.
Speaker 1: Himself their portion is The lord. Himself in verse three through,
Speaker 1: five which we went, over this provision is a perpetual,
Speaker 1: statue as The lord has chosen them to serve him
Speaker 1: and bless his. Name, okay that's the, provision is going
Speaker 1: to be the, shoulder the, cheeks the stomach of the.
Speaker 1: Animals right, now we're going to go over avoid wicked,
Speaker 1: Customs avoid wicked, customs and that's going to Be deuteronomy
Speaker 1: nine through. Fourteen, Okay deuteronomy, eighteen verse, nine when you
Speaker 1: come into the land which The lord Of god is giving,
Speaker 1: you you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those.
Speaker 1: Nations there shall not be found among you anyone who
Speaker 1: makes his son or daughters pass through the, fire or
Speaker 1: no one who practices, witchcraft or a, southsayer or one
Speaker 1: who interprets, omens or a, sorcerer or one who can conjure,
Speaker 1: spells or a medium or a, spiritus or one who
Speaker 1: calls up the. Dead for, all one who calls up
Speaker 1: the dead is a. Medium. Right so for all who
Speaker 1: do these things are an abomination to The. Lord and
Speaker 1: because of the, abominations The lord Your god drives them
Speaker 1: out from before. You you shall be blameless before The
Speaker 1: lord Your god for these, nations which you will dispose disposes.
Speaker 1: Dispossess dispose this. Dispossess listen to southsayers and. Diviners but
Speaker 1: as for, you The lord Your god has not appointed
Speaker 1: such for. You so that whole portion we need to. Understand,
Speaker 1: okay there is a lot of that going on, nowadays
Speaker 1: which you don't even. Know there's a lot of, witchcraft.
Speaker 1: Soothsayers what do you see on a lot of the street.
Speaker 1: Corners you have somebody that wants to read your. Palm
Speaker 1: you have somebody that wants to give you a tora.
Speaker 1: Reading we have, psychics we have. Mediums we have witchcraft
Speaker 1: going on right. Now if you see a botanical place
Speaker 1: that has, candles if you go To Joanne's arts And, crafts,
Speaker 1: now what do you Mean joann's is, Not but that's
Speaker 1: a good. Place there's a bunch of witches that go in.
Speaker 1: There There's i'll give you an. Example my. Cousin i'm
Speaker 1: not going to say her name obviously Because i'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that to. Her but it's crazy because
Speaker 1: my cousin and just went to my mom was telling
Speaker 1: me about. This it's on my mom's. Side she's, like,
Speaker 1: HEY i just saw this thing on Her. Facebook she erased,
Speaker 1: it but she ended up going To, Salem massachusetts and
Speaker 1: going to a yarn. Festival, now when you when you
Speaker 1: think of a yarn, festival you're, like there must be
Speaker 1: a bunch of old ladies there just you, know, knitting.
Speaker 1: Crocheting what's a yarn? Festival what do you gotta? Think
Speaker 1: this lady, SAYS i COULD i could make, THIS i can,
Speaker 1: YARN i can make this crochet faster than, you and
Speaker 1: then they have competitions on who can make the biggest.
Speaker 1: Blanket no yarn festival is actually. Witchcraft witch is getting
Speaker 1: together and. WHATEVER i don't, know exchanging. SPELLS i don't
Speaker 1: know what it. Is but, uh she ended up going
Speaker 1: into this house but that she's gonna, stay and it's
Speaker 1: like an airbnb and there's a bunch Of Torah tora,
Speaker 1: cards tarat, carts tarot cards, everywhere there, is uh spell
Speaker 1: books and all this, stuff and she's all. EXCITED i
Speaker 1: didn't happy to be. There i'm, like oh my, Gosh
Speaker 1: i'm just praying for. HER i, KNOW i need to
Speaker 1: pray for her so, much you, know pray for. Her
Speaker 1: but you, Know i'm not gonna tell you her, name
Speaker 1: but because that's kind of embarrassing AND i don't want,
Speaker 1: to you, know do. That BUT i was so. SURPRISED
Speaker 1: i haven't talked to my cousin in a, while and
Speaker 1: she's a very nice, person you, know SO i don't
Speaker 1: know what she's getting. Into but we have to be
Speaker 1: more mindful of this because even though, nowadays you, KNOW i,
Speaker 1: mean there's probably a lot of people that listen to
Speaker 1: cult and conspiracy that know about this type of, stuff
Speaker 1: you know WHAT i, mean BECAUSE i see the kind
Speaker 1: of episodes and some of the things that come out
Speaker 1: where people are, commenting AND i know there's some people
Speaker 1: that hit me up that are you, know there's probably
Speaker 1: people that pray against, me and some of these people
Speaker 1: pray against my podcast and pray a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: Against there's some witches that go into churches and pray against.
Speaker 1: Churches there's some. Warlocks there's some people that are working
Speaker 1: with the devil hand in, hand you, know and that's
Speaker 1: just what, happens you. Know they they basically some people
Speaker 1: try to sell their soul for. Money they try to
Speaker 1: sell their soul for. Fame they do, witchcraft they contract
Speaker 1: they talk to you, know when someone tries to tell, you, like,
Speaker 1: hey you want to talk to Your Aunt, margaret and
Speaker 1: you go there to talk to Your Aunt margaret and
Speaker 1: you Hear Aunt margaret's, voice it's Not Aunt. Margaret it's a. Demon.
Speaker 1: Okay that's what people need to. Understand so you. Can't you.
Speaker 1: Can't you're not going to be able to speak to
Speaker 1: Your Aunt. Margaret, okay you can't pray to Your Aunt
Speaker 1: margaret and Your Aunt margu's can hear, you and then
Speaker 1: she's gonna be able to talk To god for. You.
Speaker 1: Okay you just pray Through jesus to talk To. God
Speaker 1: it's pretty. Easy but what's fascinating is people they get
Speaker 1: they get deceived into thinking that you. Know but the
Speaker 1: only place THAT i actually see where you, Know saul
Speaker 1: goes to the wick of The witch Of ORNDOR i
Speaker 1: think it is or. Something saul brings Up, samuel, right
Speaker 1: And samuel's, like why are you bothering? Me you know
Speaker 1: it's In. Kings it's crazy like that. Happened but that's
Speaker 1: the only time THAT i saw actually someone that was dead.
Speaker 1: Come but you, KNOW i Think god let that. Happen
Speaker 1: but usually she's she was a medium that was probably
Speaker 1: just bringing demons and then having them act like there's,
Speaker 1: somebody but she was surprised to actually See, samuel like
Speaker 1: what you? Know Uh, SO i just want to tell you,
Speaker 1: guys a lot of these abominations are still happening. Today
Speaker 1: protect your, children protect your. Mind know that there's different
Speaker 1: places that you probably don't want to go hang. Out
Speaker 1: there's a lot of witches in, places LIKE i, Said Joannes,
Speaker 1: fabrics arts and. Crafts you'll see people at these. Botanicals you,
Speaker 1: know a lot of people in Like haiti and all
Speaker 1: these different, countries you, Know. MEXICO i, Mean i'm not you,
Speaker 1: know there's just a lot of different places In america.
Speaker 1: Too you, know you see a lot of it In
Speaker 1: america as, well where this stuff is going on, today
Speaker 1: and we are very very blind to. It unless you
Speaker 1: know signs of, it unless you read The, bible unless
Speaker 1: you know, conspiracies you're probably not going to see. It
Speaker 1: and the people would be able to walk among you
Speaker 1: and you would never notice it unless you study the
Speaker 1: type of stuff That i've studied and the type of
Speaker 1: stuff that you guys hopefully have studied before if you're
Speaker 1: into conspiracy a little. Bit but, anyways, next let's see
Speaker 1: if there's anything about. That about that little portion right,
Speaker 1: there The israelites were warned against adopting the abominable practices
Speaker 1: of the nations they are, disposing such as child, sacrifice,
Speaker 1: divination and. Witchcraft The hebrew word teva is used to
Speaker 1: describe these practices as detestable or. Abominable fifteen through nineteen
Speaker 1: is what we're going to go over. Next let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and go back to my teaching. Points, okay let's go.
Speaker 1: There it's going to Be deuteronomy, eighteen verse. Fifteen The
Speaker 1: lord Your god will raise up for you a prophet
Speaker 1: like me from your, midst from your. Brethren SO i
Speaker 1: think he's this Is moses speaking. Right so The lord
Speaker 1: Your god will raise up you a prophet like me
Speaker 1: from your midst saying that like, me Like, moses from
Speaker 1: your brethren, him you shall hear according to all you
Speaker 1: desired for The lord Your god In horeb in the
Speaker 1: day of The, assembly, saying let me not hear again
Speaker 1: the voice of The, lord My, god nor let me
Speaker 1: see this great fire anyone less. Die and The lord
Speaker 1: said to, me what what they have spoken is. GOOD
Speaker 1: i will raise up from them a prophet like, you
Speaker 1: from among their, brethren AND i will put my words
Speaker 1: in his, mouth and you shall speak to them ALL
Speaker 1: i commanded. Him and it shall be that whoever will
Speaker 1: not hear my words which he speaks in my, NAME
Speaker 1: i will require it of. Him but the prophet who
Speaker 1: presumes to speak a word in my name WHICH i
Speaker 1: have not commanded him to speak for he for who
Speaker 1: speaks in the name of other, gods that prophets shall.
Speaker 1: Die and if you say in your, heart how shall
Speaker 1: we know the word which The lord has not. Spoken
Speaker 1: when a prophet speaks in the name of The, lord
Speaker 1: if the thing does not happen or come to. Pass
Speaker 1: that this thing which The lord has not, spoken the
Speaker 1: prophet has, spoken and presumptuously you shall not be afraid of.
Speaker 1: Him so in verses fifteen through, nineteen a, prophet The
Speaker 1: lord Your god will raise up for you a prophet
Speaker 1: like me from among your. Brothers you must listen to.
Speaker 1: Him That's deuteronomy fifteenth, ninety which we talked About test
Speaker 1: of true. Prophecy verses twenty through twenty two provide criteria
Speaker 1: for discerning true prophets from false. Ones if what a
Speaker 1: prophet proclaims in the name of The lord does not
Speaker 1: take place or come to, pass then that is a
Speaker 1: message The lord has not. Spoken how many times do
Speaker 1: we have people, saying, well the end of the world's
Speaker 1: going to be On september twenty, fifth two thousand and,
Speaker 1: one you know WHAT i, mean and it doesn't. Happen
Speaker 1: and then they, say, oh, WELL i got word from
Speaker 1: The lord the other day and it's really going to
Speaker 1: be twenty twenty, five you, know and it's, like that's
Speaker 1: not coming from The. Lord you. Know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that act, like, well The lord told, Me
Speaker 1: god told, Me god said to, me and, Uh we
Speaker 1: got to be very careful with false prophets or false
Speaker 1: prophecies that people are telling. You don't depend on it to,
Speaker 1: happen because a lot of people are false prophets that
Speaker 1: are trying to act like they. Know you, know let's
Speaker 1: see a prophet Like. Moses in fifteen through, Nineteen god
Speaker 1: promises to raise up a prophet Like. Moses this prophet
Speaker 1: will Speak god's word and the people are commanded to
Speaker 1: listen to it to. Him The hebrew word nave means,
Speaker 1: prophet indicating one who speaks on behalf Of. God in
Speaker 1: twenty through twenty, two instructures are given on how to
Speaker 1: dissert a true prophet from a false. One and for
Speaker 1: prophet speaks in the name of The, lord and The
Speaker 1: lord and the word does not come to pass that
Speaker 1: prophet has spoken. Presumptuously The hebrew word z implies arrogance or.
Speaker 1: Presumption we need to understand. That and so. Perfect so
Speaker 1: that was. PERFECT i, mean it's eleven oh nine right.
Speaker 1: Now so ALL i have for, you guys is just
Speaker 1: practical applications for this. Chapter and it looks like next
Speaker 1: week we're going to pick up In deuteronomy, nineteen we're
Speaker 1: moving smoothly through The book Of. Deuteronomy all, right let's.
Speaker 1: Go so spiritual practical applications support spiritual, leaders recognize and
Speaker 1: support that those who are called to spiritual, leadership understanding
Speaker 1: their role in guiding the community in, faith reject occult,
Speaker 1: practices stay vigilant against modern forms of divination and occult,
Speaker 1: practices remaining faithful To god's. Word, so As, christians do
Speaker 1: you think we should be going to get our palm? Read?
Speaker 1: No should we be going to get a psychic? Reading?
Speaker 1: No should we be going to ask someone to do
Speaker 1: a tarot card for? Us? No, no. No should we
Speaker 1: be practicing? Witchcraft? No should we be doing? Drugs? No
Speaker 1: should We should we be doing these? Things? No we
Speaker 1: should not be doing any of these ecult. Practices we
Speaker 1: need to stay faithful To god's. Word should we be
Speaker 1: going to ask a woman To, hey how you, doing?
Speaker 1: Ma'am can you? Ask can you talk to my Aunt
Speaker 1: martha that that died seven years? Ago BECAUSE i needed
Speaker 1: to know where she left her purse or. WHATEVER i
Speaker 1: need to know where We're Uncle john's stocks are. Located,
Speaker 1: YEAH i, Know. Paul let me talk to An martha for.
Speaker 1: You and then a demon comes, Like, hi how you
Speaker 1: Being and you're, like, oh Aunt, martha you know WHAT i?
Speaker 1: Mean like all that is is just tricking you and
Speaker 1: deceiving you because that the demon can. Talk like whoever
Speaker 1: reject a cult? Practices, Okay, now if somebody is doing
Speaker 1: a cult, practices somebody is doing, witchcraft someone's doing, divination
Speaker 1: are you supposed to go in and just you, know
Speaker 1: go fight them or beat them. Up, no you need
Speaker 1: to be treat them with respect and try to lead
Speaker 1: them to The lord and try to get them to
Speaker 1: stop doing. That but you, know just you need to
Speaker 1: stay faithful To god's word and do your best to
Speaker 1: lead them To. God if you, can't then you, know
Speaker 1: plant the seeds and Let god take over. It, okay
Speaker 1: you can only do your best and make sure your
Speaker 1: spiritually equipped to handle people like, that because they could be,
Speaker 1: witchcraft they could be, deep and they can be so
Speaker 1: deep that there's you, know they're doing things for the,
Speaker 1: devil like sacrificing, whatever animals or maybe, KIDS i don't,
Speaker 1: know it gets real, crazy but you never know how
Speaker 1: deep they are with the. Devil and if you're just
Speaker 1: some Weak, christian that's, uh you, know watered down and
Speaker 1: not ready to, go then you've got to be prepared
Speaker 1: for spiritual battle if you're gonna get involved in. Them,
Speaker 1: okay just lukewarm is WHAT i would. Say you got
Speaker 1: to make sure you're ready for. Battle listen To, jesus
Speaker 1: Acknowledge jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of the promised, prophet
Speaker 1: and commit to following his. Teachings, yes Acknowledge jesus as
Speaker 1: the ultimate fulfillment of the promised, prophet and commit to follow.
Speaker 1: Me that's one, percent and his teachings are being taught
Speaker 1: On wednesday. Service check those. Out i'm all the way
Speaker 1: to The book Of luke and The gospel Of luke
Speaker 1: and it's getting really. Interesting discernment and, prophecy develop discernment
Speaker 1: to evaluate teachings and, prophecies ensuring the alignment scripture and
Speaker 1: come to. Pass, so, yeah when someone is giving you
Speaker 1: a teaching or prophetic, word make sure it's lining up
Speaker 1: with scripture because there's so many people out there that
Speaker 1: are giving you end, times prophecies and end times that
Speaker 1: you know they have a little bit of man mixed in. There,
Speaker 1: OKAY i kind of talked about it last, episode where
Speaker 1: make sure that they have chapter And verse for everything
Speaker 1: they're teaching you in the way it lines, up because
Speaker 1: there's things that are made that where they're just, like,
Speaker 1: look this prophecy's being the. Fido in nineteen forty, six
Speaker 1: The jews became a, nation you, Know israel became a nation.
Speaker 1: Again in the nineteen sixty, Four jerusalem became a you know,
Speaker 1: This and then they start adding this stuff where it's
Speaker 1: like this and this and this and all this other
Speaker 1: stuff is happening like And i'm not saying that they're
Speaker 1: wrong or. Right i'm just telling you that there's just
Speaker 1: a lot of things that people add. On they write
Speaker 1: books about, it they freaking make tons of money off of,
Speaker 1: it and they do all these things and they can only.
Speaker 3: Stick to this exact prophetic word that's gonna happen no matter.
Speaker 3: What the seven Year, tribulation then the Anti christ and
Speaker 3: the rapture in this and then people are writing book
Speaker 3: after book after book after, book and people are, like
Speaker 3: oh my, GOSH i can't wait for the.

Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonna. Happen you don't know when
Speaker 1: the rapture is gonna. Be is it gonna be, before
Speaker 1: is it gonna be, made is it gonna be? After
Speaker 1: or is it gonna be When jesus comes? Back are
Speaker 1: you gonna have to go through the? Tribulation, well it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be the rapture, before isn't? It isn't it?
Speaker 1: Pre isn't it one hundred? Percent we don't. Know we're
