If you know me, 3 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.359 I'm a Christian rapper, devoted husband, father, and NOMY veteran. 4 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.919 And this is brought to you by Culting Conspiracy Podcast. 5 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.199 Thank you so much for joining me, and this time 6 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.920 I did not butcher the intro, Thank God. All right, 7 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.120 So first off, I on a shout out everybody that 8 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.359 has donated to the GoFundMe today. I actually got a 9 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.879 few things, so i'll show you guys on camera. Obviously, 10 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.440 those that are listening on audio aren't gonna be able 11 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.000 to see it until my YouTube comes out. But I 12 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.880 got this. I don't know if you guys can see this. 13 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.600 I got this Tripad tripod. It's very hard to see 14 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.000 because I got the blue the green screen. I got 15 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.439 this brand new tripod from That's y. I also got 16 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.399 a fast charger hub for an Insta three sixty camera. 17 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.000 I also got a SD card two hundred and fifty 18 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.359 six gigabytes, so I'll be able to record your sun 19 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.159 for seventeen hours when I do though, And I also 20 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:09.760 got this. I got an extra battery and also I 21 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.879 got this very hard to see. It might be upside down. 22 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.319 You can kind of see it though. This is actually 23 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.319 a power bank. So what I'll do is I'll charge 24 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.519 this thing up fully and when it's charged all the way, 25 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.560 I'll be able to hook up the camera to this 26 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.159 so that way it keeps it charged for you know, 27 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.079 it should be about seventeen eighteen hours worth of charge 28 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.359 so and the battery will last about an hour and 29 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.879 a half on the camera. So this should be good 30 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.079 enough for me to run the camera for seventeen hours 31 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.560 because I'm trying to film the sun when I'm in Atmitting, Canada, 32 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.120 and also put the arenas for twenty four hours. But 33 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.680 let me just do so. Had to grab this other 34 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.280 thing I got, which really it's really easy to see 35 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.000 through back here, but this is a also got a 36 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.439 it's a military compass, so I got that as well. 37 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.840 I used that money for that too. And this is 38 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.159 really cool, man. This is a Insta three sixty camera, right, 39 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:21.039 So this is actually a Insta three sixty. I think 40 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.879 it's called the Insta three sixty times four. And I 41 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.280 got this donated to me Pastor Will Duffy. He did 42 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.120 the final experiment. He saw that I was going on 43 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.879 the trip. I had a budget obviously, because I started 44 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.479 gofund me, and he actually donated this camera to me. 45 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.360 He gave it to me. He sent it to me 46 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.560 in the mail, which is such a blessing. I was like, man, 47 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.560 So I was basically saying, I was balling on a budget. 48 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.400 I needed I needed equipment, and through the GoFundMe that 49 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.240 we have so far, which was raised eight hundred and 50 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.439 eighty five dollars, I bought all that, all the accessories, 51 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.960 and I got the camera sent to me. So Pastor 52 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.960 will Duffy is someone that he's a glober obviously, and 53 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.639 he took all those guys on the final experiment and 54 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.599 he bought two cameras for the final Experiment one trip, 55 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.680 one or two of them for the Antarctica trip. So 56 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.719 he said, I don't need to so he actually sent 57 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.120 me one in the mail, which is a super which 58 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.800 is a blessing. I was like wow. So I talked 59 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.840 to him and he said that the best thing to 60 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.800 film with would be that three sixty camera because if not, 61 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.240 you're gonna have to have a camera that's gonna be 62 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.280 able to follow the sun. So this three sixty camera, 63 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.039 I could face east to west, put it on my 64 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.919 tripod and hook up the power to it, and I'll 65 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.400 be able to film the sun for seventeen hours. So 66 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.599 that way we could see exactly what the sun does 67 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.319 in the north at fifty three degrees north, and then 68 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.000 we're gonna be able to see exactly what the sun 69 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.680 does at fifty three degrees south. And what it's supposed 70 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.120 to do is it's supposed to rise in the southeast, 71 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.439 in the south, and it's supposed to set in the southwest. 72 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.560 So that's going to be crazy. I don't know if 73 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.240 exactly that's what it does. That's not what the flat 74 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.680 Earth calls for. So that's what I'm trying to go see. 75 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:09.680 That's the reason why I'm doing it, So I have 76 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.560 to go fund me up. It's it's if you go 77 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.919 to my YouTube, Josh Monday Music and Podcasts, you're going 78 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.240 to be able to see the link below. I can't 79 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.879 put it the link below here obviously because this is 80 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.360 not my podcast. This is a Cult of Conspiracies podcast. 81 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.680 But if you want to donate to the link, it's cool. 82 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.079 I'm trying to raise twenty five hundred dollars. It's six 83 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.920 hundred and fifty dollars for the trip to Edmonton including 84 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.120 airfare and the trip and then to Puta Arenas it's 85 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.720 fifteen hundred dollars just to fly there, and it costs 86 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.120 about two eighty or something or two fifty I think 87 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.560 for the rooms, so plus the all the accessories that 88 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.079 I got, So twenty five hundred is what I'm trying 89 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.199 to raise, and I'm all the way up to eight 90 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.920 eighty five or ready, which is amazing. So I'm taking 91 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.319 that money as it's coming in from GoFundMe, and I'm 92 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.759 trying to buy accessories and things that I need for 93 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.680 the trip, you know. So anyways, let's go ahead and 94 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.759 shout out those last week that went ahead and commented. 95 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.959 So on Sunday Service episode seventy eight, we had ten comments, 96 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.639 which is amazing.

Thank you you guys must have 103 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.560 listened to it a little bit late, because I haven't 104 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.639 checked the comments in a while on there and just 105 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.199 noticed that there's actually ten, which is that's that's awesome. 106 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.199 I love seeing that, you know, and it looks like 107 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.639 we're having some new listeners as well, so that actually 108 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.639 really excites me as well.

Looks like we have four comments, 110 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.319 So if you guys haven't watched Wednesday Service yet, you're 111 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.079 going to see that. I botched the intro, I said, 112 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.519 said Sunday Service, episode seventy eight, but then I go 113 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.199 into the Book of Hebrews, so I apologize for that. 114 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.600 I was staring at my phone when I did that intro, 115 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.680 and I was looking at Sunday Service, episode seventy eight, 116 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.759 so I can so I can read off the comments. 117 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.079 And for some reason, my mind was I was very 118 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.560 tired that night and I'm still getting over the sickness. 119 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.160 It's been like a week and a half, so I 120 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.279 read it off the screen. I don't know why instead 121 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.920 of same Wednesday Service. So please forgive me, guys, but 122 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.920 this week is definitely Sunday Service, the normal Sunday service. 123 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.399 All right, guys, so that one wasn't botched.

It's gonna be 156 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:14.240 going towards an experiment that is, you know, just collecting 157 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.680 data from standing on the earth, filming the sun, collecting data. 158 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.120 And then I'm going to also go to Thailand next 159 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.240 year and I'm gonna do the same exact thing. It's 160 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.560 going to be basically about ten degrees I think it's 161 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.639 ten degrees north, so I'll be right there on the equator, 162 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.320 so I'll be able to film the Sun from there 163 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.559 see exactly what the Sun is doing. And we'll be 164 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.720 able to get information from Antarctica, if you guys believe 165 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.639 the twenty four sun or not Antarctica. We're gonna have 166 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.399 information from the north the Arctic, which you've already we 167 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.919 already have that recorded. Then we're gonna have information from 168 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.080 fifty three degres north, fifty three degears south, and then 169 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.240 I'm gonna try to get information on the equator, which 170 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.960 is about ten degrees off the equator. So that way 171 00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.799 we kind of see what the sun is doing and 172 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.399 it'll be interesting. So looking forward to doing that. So 173 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.080 pulling up on the screen now, I'm pulling up First 174 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:14.600 Chronicles and I'll pull up chapter fourteen. Perfect, there we go. 175 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.120 So let's go ahead and kick this off now. So 176 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.720 we'll just go ahead, go with the intro to First 177 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.720 Chronicles fourteen, and every single listener that listens to the show, 178 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.600 from the bottom of my heart, thank you, I appreciate you. Okay. 179 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.799 Chapter fourteen of First Chronicles in the Brand Standard Bible 180 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.879 follows the journey of King David as he establishes his 181 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.679 reign in Jerusalem. With the blessings and help of King 182 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.159 Hiram of Tyree, David constructs his palace and solidifies his power. 183 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.080 This chapter portrays David's trust and divine guidance, his victories 184 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.960 over the Philistines and establishment of his family in Jerusalem. 185 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.320 Excuse me told you, guys, still trying to get over 186 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:03.279 this cold Hiram, which means my brother is exalted, hinting 187 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.879 at a friendly ruler, lifted up in cooperation. And then David, 188 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.240 just so you guys know, means beloved. Okay, David means beloved. 189 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.679 I do not want to get bit by you, So sorry, 190 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.080 I don't know if that was a mosquito or not 191 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.759 look like one. There we go. Let me just go 192 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.159 and go down to my teaching points. Here David favor 193 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.000 with God and man. Okay, so let's go ahead and 194 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.720 start first. Chronicles fourteen, Chapter one. Now, Hiram, king of Tyree, 195 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.320 sent messages messengers to David and cedar trees with masons 196 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.879 and carpenters to build him a house. So David knew 197 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.360 that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, 198 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:44.639 for his kingdom has highly exalted for the sake of 199 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.639 his people Israel. Then David took more wives in Jerusalem, 200 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.559 and David begot more sons and daughters. And these are 201 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.200 the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem. 202 00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:11.879 It's Shamuah, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, ibhar Ilishua, uh El, Noga, Niga, Uh, Nigag. 203 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.639 Looks like it's no, it's not Nigog. It's Niga and Noga. 204 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:25.480 I guess you'd call Noga, n O, g a h Uh, Nephag, Jaffia, Elishama, 205 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:32.639 Ballidia and Eli flat. All right, So I got some 206 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.559 notes real quick to kind of go over with the 207 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.000 with what just what we just read. So David's favor 208 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:42.679 with God and man uh So in First Chronicles fourteen one, Hiram, 209 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.279 king of Tyree, sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees, stonemasons, 210 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.519 and carpenters, to build a palace for him. David's favor 211 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.159 favor with Hiram signifies God's blessing and the importance of God. 212 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.759 The alliances excuse me. So. David, the son of Jesse 213 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.039 is one of the most prominent figures in the Bible, 214 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.399 known for his deep relationship with God and his significant 215 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.840 impact on the history of Israel. His favor in both 216 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.039 God and Man is reoccurring theme throughout the biblical narrative, 217 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.759 highlighting his unique role as a shepherd, warrior, king, and 218 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.279 man after God's own heart atoning in early favor. Favor 219 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.919 with God is first evident when the prophet Samuel annoys 220 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.440 him as king while he is still a young shepherd boy. 221 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.399 God instruct Samuel, saying, do not consider his appearance for 222 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.440 his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does 223 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.600 not see as man sees, for man sees the outward appearance, 224 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:44.399 but the Lord sees the heart. The divine selection underscores 225 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.919 God's recognition of David's heart and character, setting him apart 226 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.600 from his brother's and establishing his favor in God's eyes. 227 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.960 Favor in the royal court, David's favor extends to his 228 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.600 interactions with King Saul and the royal court. After his anointing, 229 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.600 David enters all serve as a musician to sue the 230 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.399 king's troubled spirit, which is in Samuel sixteen, verse twenty 231 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.799 three says wherever the spirit from God came upon Saul, 232 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.279 whenever the spirit of God came upon Saul, David would 233 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.720 take his heart and play, and relief would come to Saul. 234 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.519 He would feel better and the evil spirit will leave him. 235 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.720 David's musical talent and spiritual present earn him favor with 236 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:30.759 Saul alabe I'll bet temporarily as Saul's jealousy later turns 237 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:38.159 to enmity. Victory over Goliath and public acclaim. David's favor 238 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.120 with the people of Israel is solidified through his victory 239 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.039 over Goliath, the Philistine giant. This act of faith encouraged Noli. 240 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.360 He demonstrates his trust in God, but also earns him 241 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.759 widespread acclaim. This is in Fir Samuel eighteen, verse seven, 242 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.480 as they dance, the women saying out Saul has slain 243 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.919 his thousands and David his tens of thousands. This public 244 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.759 recognition marks the beginning of Saul's rise and popularity and 245 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.720 influence among the Israelites, and also that kind of created 246 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.519 the rise of Saul's jealousy. Okay. Friendship with Jonathan. David's 247 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.759 favor is evident in his deep friendship with Jonathan, Saul's son. 248 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.519 Despite the potential threat David poses to Jonathan's succession, Jonathan 249 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.679 loves David at his own soul and makes a covenant 250 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.799 with him in First Samuel eighteen, verses one through three. 251 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.879 This bond exemplifies the favor David finds with individuals who 252 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.440 recognize his integrity and God's hand upon his life, kingdom, 253 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.399 and leadership As king. David's favor with God is continually 254 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.440 affirmed through his military successes, administrative wisdom, and the establishment 255 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.879 of Jerusalem as the political spiritual center of Israel. And 256 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.639 David became greater and greater for the Lord God hosts 257 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.360 was with him. That's Tewod Samuel five, verse ten. His 258 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.639 friendship is marked by a commitment to justice and righteousness, 259 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.720 earning him respect and loyalty of his people covenant with God. 260 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.000 God's favor towards David is most profoundly expressed in the 261 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:03.480 Dividic Covenant, where God promises to establish David's throne forever 262 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.080 your house. This is a Tewod Samuel seven, verse sixteen. 263 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.240 Your house and kingdom will endure forever before me, and 264 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.720 your throne will be established forever. This covenant not only 265 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.840 secures David's legacy, but also points to the future messiah, 266 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.559 Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the son 267 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:26.919 of david repentance and restoration. Despite his sins, including the 268 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.600 incident with Bathsheba, David's favor with God is evident, and 269 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.240 his sincere repentance in God's willingness to forgive and restore him. 270 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.559 Psalm's fifty one captures David's contrite heart and desire for renewal. 271 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.720 Psalms fifty one to ten says create in me a 272 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.639 clean heart, o God, and renew a right spirit within me. 273 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.080 His ability to seek God's mercy and his subsequent restoration 274 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.320 highlight in the enduring nature of God's favor legacy. David's 275 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.440 favor with God and man is a testament to his faith, leadership, 276 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.720 and heart for God. His life serves as a model 277 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.559 of divine favor, illustrating the blessings and responsibilities that come 278 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.879 with being chosen by God. David's account is a powerful 279 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.759 reminder of the impact one individual can have when they 280 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:13.320 walk in obedience and humility before the Lord. So very 281 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:19.120 very interesting information. And then in Psalms fourteen two, I said, 282 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.440 so David knew the Lord had to establish The Lord 283 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.120 Yahweh has established him as king over Israel. For his 284 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.799 kingdom is highly exalted. For the sake of his people Israel. 285 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.320 So this is the recognition of God's establishment and first 286 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.440 Chronicles fourteen two, and it said David acknowledges that his 287 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.080 kingship is for a benefit of God's people, not personal gain. 288 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:44.919 And then we also have David's family growth in verses 289 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:50.240 three through seven. Verses three through seven detailed David's growing 290 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.679 family in Jerusalem, emphasizing the importance of family and legacy 291 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:59.200 in God's plan. David, the second King of Israel, is 292 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.480 a central figure of the Biblical narrative, known for his 293 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:05.200 profound military relationship with God, his military conquest, and his 294 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.079 complex family dynamics. His family growth is documented primarily in 295 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.799 the Books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, providing insight into 296 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.400 his personal life the broader implications for the nation of 297 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.880 Israel our early family life. David was the youngest son 298 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:24.400 of Jesse of Bethelite Bethelmite, and was anointed by the 299 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.519 prophet Samuel to be king while Saul was still reigning. 300 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.400 Marriage and children, David's family began to expand during his 301 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:35.000 time as a fugitive from Saul. He married several women, 302 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.200 which was customary for kings of that era, both for 303 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.039 personal and political reasons. One is Mike Hall. David's first 304 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:47.079 wife was Michael, the daughter of Saul. Their marriage was 305 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.279 initially a political alliance, but it was marked by love 306 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.799 and later tension. My call helped David escape from Saul, 307 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.279 but their relationship deteriorated over time. This is in First 308 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.960 Samuel eighteen twenty seven, teen eleven through seventeen, and Sewod 309 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:08.519 Samuel six, verses sixteen through twenty three. Uh. This is 310 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:14.160 Ahinome of Jezreel. While fleeing from Saul, David married Ahinom, 311 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.920 who bore him his first son, Amnon first Samuel twenty five, 312 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.759 verse forty three and Second Samuel three, verse two, and 313 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.200 then he married Abigail. David's marriage to Abigail, the widow 314 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.480 of the Baal, was both a personal and strategic alliance. 315 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.319 Abigail is noted for her wisdom and beauty, and she 316 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:36.599 bore David a son named chilieb also called Daniel in 317 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.079 First Samuel twenty five, verse thirty nine through forty two 318 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.599 and for Samuel three, verse three. Then he married Makaw. 319 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:47.839 David's marriage to Macaw, the daughter of Telmai, king of Jashir. 320 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.440 She bore him, Absalom and Tamar, both of whom played 321 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.920 significant roles in their later narrative of David's reign, and 322 00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.720 then Hageth, Abatall and Iglaw. These wives bore David additional sons, 323 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:06.920 ad On Nija, shep Tia, and Ithrium, respectively. In Second 324 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.440 Samuel three verses four through five and then number six 325 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:15.079 is Bathsheba, perhaps well the most well known of David's wives. 326 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.640 Bathsheba was initially the wife of Uriah the Hittite. David's 327 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.440 adultery with her and the subsequent murder of Uriah marked 328 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.359 a turning point in his life. Bathsheba boor David a 329 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.680 son who died shortly after birth, but later she gave 330 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.640 birth to Solomon, who succeeded David as king. Second Samuel eleven, 331 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.279 verses one through twenty seven explains, I think the hit 332 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.640 Tite Uriah, the Hittite and Bathsheba and David story, and 333 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.359 then twelve fifteen through twenty four is also another one. 334 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.799 So legacy David's family growth and the associated narratives highlight 335 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.559 the complexities of his personal life and the broader implications 336 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.960 for the Kingdom of Israel. His lineage despite his challenges 337 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.319 has integral was integral fulfillment of God's covenant promises, ultimately 338 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.759 leading to the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah from 339 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.839 the line of David, and he had some pretty crazy 340 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:14.480 family dynamics. David's family life was fraught with turmoil and tragedy. 341 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.640 Much was steamed from his own sins and resulting from 342 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.680 divine judgment. The prophet Nathan foretold that the sword shall 343 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.920 never depart from your house Second Samuel twelve, verse ten, 344 00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:29.279 a prophecy then enfolded in the following events Amnon and Tomorrow. Amnon, 345 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.039 David's firstborn, committed a grievous sin against his half sister Tomorrow, 346 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.599 leading to familial discord and eventual murder by Absalom. Second 347 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.400 Samuel thirteen, verses one through twenty nine explains that story. 348 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.000 Then Absalom's rebellion. Absalom, Tomor's full brother, harbored resentment against 349 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.960 David for not punishing Amnon. This led to Absalom's rebellion 350 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.279 against David, a conflict that ended with Absalom's death. This 351 00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:59.200 is in Second Samuel fifteen, verse through eighteen. Then Ada 352 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.720 Nijah's Amber as David's health decline at a Nijah, another son, 353 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.440 attempted to seize the throne. This was thwarted by the 354 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:08.880 actions of Basheva and the prophet Nathan, ensuring Solomon's succession 355 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:13.279 in First Kings One, verses five through fifty three. So 356 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.480 that's where that's filmed. So it's good to kind of 357 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:17.200 go over that stuff so that you guys kind of 358 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.839 have a we revisit it just in case there's new 359 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.599 listeners to the show, and also just in case, you know, 360 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.359 so that we kind of renew go back and kind 361 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.400 of renew the stories that we kind of already read. 362 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.680 So let's go ahead and give you a brief description 363 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.200 of what we just read. And verses one through seven. 364 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.759 First Chronicles fourteen one through seven focuses on the establishment 365 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.279 of David's kingdom in Jerusalem, highlightings God's blessing through his 366 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.119 secure palace built by Hiram of Tiree and the growth 367 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:53.119 of David's family. It signifies the formalizing of David's reign 368 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.039 as king over Israel, supported by neighboring nations and a 369 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:01.079 large household, establishing establishment of sovereignty. Iiram, king of Tyree, 370 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.440 sent materials and craftsmen to build David a house, a palace, 371 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:09.839 signaling international recognition and divine confirmation of his kingship. Family 372 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.920 growth in Verses three through seven list David's wives and children, 373 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.119 demonstrating the expansion of his household and the blessing of 374 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:20.079 a numerous issue which added to his honor a purpose 375 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.319 of prosperity, David understood his kingdom was raised on high 376 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.920 now from his own glory, but from the sake of 377 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:32.039 the people of Israel. The context of success, this passage 378 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.359 serves as a bridge between David's failure to bring the 379 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.839 arc in chapter thirteen and his eventual success in chapter fifteen, 380 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.240 showing that even during a period of personal indulgence taking 381 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:46.799 more wives, God continued to strengthen his position, confirmation, establishing 382 00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:51.319 the security in David's throne, divine favor, God's blessings on 383 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.960 David's house and lineage, expansion and growth, increase in family, 384 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.359 and by extension, strength, recognition, international validation of David's power 385 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.759 by King Hiram. Those are all synonyms and related themes. 386 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.480 The usage of examples sermons on stewardship used to illustrate 387 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.640 the power and wealth are provided by God for the 388 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.119 benefit of others. Studies on leadership, highlighting the need for 389 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:16.839 a leader to have a firm foundation, the palace and 390 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.359 a stable legacy. The children discussion on God's grace, highlighting 391 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.799 how God can strengthen a leader's position despite human imperfections. Okay, 392 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.359 so now let's go ahead and jump down to verse eight. 393 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:35.200 The Philistines defeated first Chronicles fourteen. Verse eight says, now, 394 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.799 when the Philistines learned that David had been annointed king 395 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.759 over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search 396 00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.519 for David, and David heard of it and went up 397 00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.480 against them. Then the Philistines went and made a raid 398 00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:49.519 of the value of Rapayim. All right. We already know 399 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.599 Rafayeim is the value of giants, all right, and Rapayim 400 00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.880 means a giant tribe here, okay. And David inquired of God, saying, 401 00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:59.920 shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver 402 00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:02.720 them in my hand? And the Lord Yahweh said to him, 403 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:04.839 go up, for I will deliver them into your hand. 404 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:09.680 So they went to bail Parizemee, and David defeated them there. 405 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.319 Then David said, God has broken through my enemies by 406 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.519 my hand like a breakthrough of water. Therefore they called 407 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:22.079 the name of that palace bail Parizeine. And when they 408 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.720 left their gods there, David gave a commandment and they 409 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.119 were burned with fire. Then the Philistines once again made 410 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.519 a raid on the valley. Therefore David inquired again of God, 411 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:35.640 and God said to him, you shall not go up 412 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.880 after them, circle around them, and come upon them in 413 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.799 front of the molberry trees. And it shall be when 414 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:43.920 you hear a sound of marching in the tops of 415 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.759 the molberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, 416 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.359 for God has gone out before you to strike the 417 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:52.799 camp of the Philistines. So David did as God commanded him, 418 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.519 and they drove back the army of the Philistines from 419 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.279 Gibeon as far as Gazir. Then the fame of David 420 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.200 went out into the all the lands, and the Lord 421 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:06.960 Yahweh brought the fear of him upon all nations. You see, 422 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:13.960 this is a very important example here, because as you 423 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.799 see David here not all the time, but here he's 424 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.519 going to God and he's asking him what shall I do. 425 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.400 He's inquiring to God, and God is responding to him. 426 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.400 Then the Lord said to him, go up, and I 427 00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.160 will deliver them into your hands. And what does David have? 428 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.079 David has faith. Doesn't matter if you're going to the 429 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.519 Valley of Raphaim, the value of giants, you're going to 430 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.200 go against Goliath, You're going to go against all these 431 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.680 Amorites or whatever you're going to go against. You know, 432 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.359 you know that the Philistines, you know, these guys are 433 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:50.400 strong guys, strong army. God tells you the Lord Yahweh says, 434 00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:53.640 go up, for I will deliver them into your hand. Now, 435 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:56.759 for some people, they just think, oh, well, you know, 436 00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.400 David just ended up going up there and God delivered them. 437 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.119 That's not it's not about that. It's not only about that. 438 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.759 It is about that, but it's not only about that. 439 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.200 It's about David having the faith to go up there 440 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.119 and go against these giants and and and the Philistines 441 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.400 you know, are going to this valley, and he has faith, 442 00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.960 you know. So that's what's awesome. And it's awesome that 443 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.839 he's inquiring even though he's a king. Now and you 444 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.759 might start getting a little prideful, like, hey, I'm a king. 445 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.799 Someone's billing me in palace. Let's go I got the money, 446 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:31.160 I got these wives, I got these children. My dynasty's strong. 447 00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:34.279 But you see, he's not doing like those other kings 448 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.079 that we read about in the other chapters in Kings, right, 449 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:40.640 what does he do? He inquires to the Lord, He 450 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.960 waits for an answer, and then when the when the 451 00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:47.279 Lord answers him, he reacts. And then also, you know 452 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:50.599 a little further down, when God asked him again, uh, 453 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.720 if he should if he should go, God gave him 454 00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:58.480 ah what he wanted to, you know, the way that 455 00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.960 God wanted him to handle it, you know, militarily, and 456 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.319 he listened because God said, for God has gone out 457 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.000 before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. So 458 00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:12.319 God probably used his angels to go down and strike him, 459 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.119 or God did one of the two. I don't know 460 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.640 how he worked that, but obviously God has an army 461 00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.000 as well, He has a host in heaven. Probably had 462 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.319 them come handle business. So David did as God commanded, 463 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:24.400 and they drove back the army of the Philistines from 464 00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.480 Gibeon as far as Gazir. Then the fame of David 465 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:29.759 went into all lands, and the Lord Yahweh brought the 466 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.079 fear upon all nations. You see it's God using the 467 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.160 evil of the Philistines and the good of David. Right, 468 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.279 So God's turning evil into good. You know, all the 469 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.000 raphaim and all these different giant tribes, all that evil, 470 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:47.480 will God turn it into good. That's how he made 471 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.680 a name for David. That's every time they defeated the giants, 472 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.279 any of the Israelites, what does that do? That builds 473 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.880 more faith and shows that God has their back, and 474 00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.359 God's able to take out these giants even though they're 475 00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.559 like there's big get cedars and they're scared and they're afraid. Well, 476 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:05.279 when God is there with you, you can handle anything. 477 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:10.079 You know, you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you. Right, 478 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:14.480 It's just it's amazing. So all right, so we finished 479 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.000 that chapter. But let me just go over a few 480 00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.519 notes I have here. One of them is seeking God's 481 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:21.839 guidance in battle, which I'd kind of just talked about. 482 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.079 So David inquired to God, should I go up against 483 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.279 the Philistines, will you deliver them into my hand? The 484 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.039 Lord Yahweh replied, go, for I would deliver them into 485 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.559 your hand. That's first Chronicles fourteen ten. David's inquiry shows 486 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.160 his dependence on God for strategic decisions. That's what I 487 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.680 meant to say earlier strategic decision. But I just you know, 488 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.880 I can pull the word. In the Biblical narrative, seeking 489 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.160 God's guidance in battle is a reoccurring theme that underscores 490 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.119 the importance of divine direction and reliance on God's wisdom 491 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.200 and strength. Throughout the Old Testament, Various leaders in kings 492 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.119 sought the Lord's council before engaging in warfare, demonstrate and 493 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.519 a profound dependence on God for victory and protection. The 494 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.559 example of King David. King David is quintessential example of 495 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.079 a leader who constantly sought God's guidance in battle. Before 496 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.839 engaging with the Philistines, David inquired to the Lord asking 497 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:17.799 whether he should go up against them, and Second Samuel five, 498 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.759 verse nineteen, it's recorded so David inquired of the Lord, 499 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.039 should I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver 500 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.160 them into my hand? The Lord rep I go, I 501 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.000 will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand. David's practice 502 00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:32.319 of seeking divining counsel before battle highlights his reliance on 503 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:36.519 God's direction rather than his own military prowess. The role 504 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.960 of priest and prophets, and ancient Israel, priests and prophets 505 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.079 often played a crucial role in conveying God's guidance to 506 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:48.480 the leaders. The room and thumb him. Sacred lots used 507 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.880 by the high priests were one means by which God 508 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:59.599 will which God's will was discerned. In one Samuel fourteen 509 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.359 thirty seven, Sow inquired of God through the priests, shall 510 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.839 I go down after the Philistines, will deliver them into 511 00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.160 the hand of Israel. However, God did not answer him 512 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.799 that day, illustrating that divine guidance was not always granted, 513 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.480 especially when sin or disobedient was present. The importance of 514 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.160 obedience and faith. Seeking God's guidance in battle was not 515 00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.839 merely a ritualistic act, but required obedience and faith. In 516 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.160 Joshua six, the Iselites were instructed to march around the 517 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.519 city of Jericho for seven days as part of God's 518 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:33.759 strategy for victory. Their obedience to the unconcovenential plan demonstrated 519 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.559 their trust in God's wisdom over human understanding, and Hebrews eleven, 520 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.240 verse thirty reflects on this event, stating by faith, the 521 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.519 walls of Jericho fell after the people had marched around 522 00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:47.440 them for seven days. The consequences of neglecting God's guidance. 523 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:51.119 The Bible also records instances where neglecting to seek God's 524 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.680 guidance led to disastrous outcomes. And Joshua nine, the Israelites 525 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.400 failed to consult the Lord when approached by the Gibeonites, 526 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:05.640 who into making a treaty. This oversight resulted in untended 527 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.960 consequences and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers 528 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.519 of relying solely on human judgment. The assurance of God's 529 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:16.279 presence When God's guidance was sought and followed, his presence 530 00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:20.240 and assurance accompanied the Agilites in battle. In Deuteronomy twenty 531 00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.279 verse one, Moses instructs the people, when you go out 532 00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.000 to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots 533 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.480 and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid 534 00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.920 of them, for the Lord Yahweh, your God, who brought 535 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.240 you out of the land of Egypt, is with you. 536 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:39.039 This promise of divine presence provided courage and confidence, reinforcing 537 00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:43.720 the belief that victory ultimately dependent on God's intervention. The 538 00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.000 New Testament perspective, while the New Testament does not focus 539 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.839 on physical battles. The principle of seeking God's guidance remains 540 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:54.960 relevant in spiritual warfare. Of Phesian six Versus eighteen through 541 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.039 ten exhorts believers to put on the full armor of 542 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:00.599 God and pray and the spirit on all occasions, emphasising 543 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.599 the need for divine strength and guidance in the spiritual 544 00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:07.000 battles faced by Christians. Also, you know, we wrestle not 545 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.519 against flesh and blood or principalities of evil, you know, 546 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:16.200 dark forces and also principalities in heavenly places. All right. 547 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:20.920 That means that there's spiritual battles happening between earth and heaven. 548 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.039 All right. That's really interesting. And then it says in summary, 549 00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.200 the biblical accounts of seeking God's guidance and battle reveal 550 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:32.599 a pattern of dependence on divine wisdom, the necessity of obedience, 551 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.359 and the assurance of God's presence. These principles continue to 552 00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.799 resonate with believers today, encouraging a reliance on God in 553 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.279 all aspects of life, including spiritual conflicts. All right. So 554 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.200 that's that's aimed at us right now. I don't know 555 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.119 if you guys are going to be soldiers going into 556 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.039 any physical battles. Who knows right now, right, we have 557 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.559 some craziness going on, so you know, we may need 558 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:02.440 God's guidance as well and actual war, you know, with 559 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:05.480 the how this is going, I don't know if they're 560 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.319 going to I don't know if they're going to. They 561 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.599 might like the thing is sticky, you're gonna put some 562 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:14.519 water down. I don't know if we're going to be 563 00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:18.720 going to war boots on the ground. I'm not saying 564 00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:24.039 that I'm going. Already served and I don't know. I'm 565 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.119 forty two now, so I don't know if I'm gonna 566 00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:27.440 be going. But I'm just saying there might be some 567 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:29.720 people that are listening that might be going. So you 568 00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:34.599 might need to see God's guidance in battle as well. Okay, 569 00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:39.000 so next we have obedience in Victory First Chronicles fourteen, 570 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:42.720 verse sixteen. You see that he was victorious, so David 571 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.119 did as God commanded him, and they struck down the 572 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.920 Philistine army from Gibeon to Gazer, First Chronicles fourteen, verse sixteen. 573 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.759 Obedience to God's instruction leads to victory. All right, so 574 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.000 let's check out obedience in Victory obedience in the Biblical 575 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:03.000 context we first act of submitting to the commands, laws, 576 00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.319 and will of God. It is a central theme throughout 577 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.599 the scriptures, emphasizing the imhortance of aligning one's actions and 578 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.880 heart with God's directives. The Bible presents obedience as a 579 00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:18.320 demonstration of faith and love towards God, often resulting in 580 00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.639 blessings and favor, and the Old Testament obedience is closely 581 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:25.639 tied to the covenant relationship between God and his people. 582 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:30.400 For instance, Deuteronomy eleven twenty six through twenty eight, God 583 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.000 sets before the Israelites a choice between a blessing and 584 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.920 a curse. See today, I am setting before you a 585 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.800 blessing and a curse. A blessing if you obey the 586 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.239 commandments of the Lord. YEAHWEH your God, will that I 587 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.159 am giving you today, but a curse if you disobey 588 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:48.920 the commandments of the Lord. YEAHWEH your God, and turn 589 00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.159 a sign for the path I command you today by 590 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.760 following other gods which you have not known to see 591 00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.480 their stipulations to some of these things that God sets up. Fourth, 592 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.280 the account of Abraham is a profound example of obedience. 593 00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.159 In Genesis twenty two. God tests Abraham by asking him 594 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:11.679 to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham's willingness to obey even 595 00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.400 in such a difficult command, even even in such a 596 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.119 difficult command, demonstrates his deep faith and trust in God. 597 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.519 As a result, God provides a ram as a substitute 598 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:27.440 and reaffirms his covenant with Abraham, promising blessings and numerous descendants. 599 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:32.280 In the New Testament, Jesus Christ exemplifies perfect obedience Philippines 600 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:38.119 Philippines Philippians two, verse eight states, and being found in 601 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:41.239 appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient 602 00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:45.519 to death, even death on a cross. Jesus, obedience to 603 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.679 the Father, even unto death, is a foundation to the Father, 604 00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:52.559 even unto death, is the foundation of salvation for humanity. 605 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:56.079 Believers are called to emulate Christ's obedience as a mark 606 00:35:56.639 --> 00:36:02.159 of true discipleship. So Paul emphasizes the importance of obedience 607 00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.239 in the life of a believer. In Roman six, verse sixteen, 608 00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:09.000 he writes, do you not know when you offer yourselves 609 00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.920 as obedient slaves? You are slaves to the one you obey, 610 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.159 Whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or 611 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.840 to obedience leading to righteousness. Obedience to God leads to 612 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:23.199 righteousness and sactification, setting believers apart for his purpose. Now, 613 00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.679 let's talk about victory. Victory in the Bible biblical sense 614 00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:30.199 is often associated with triumph over sin, evil, and the 615 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.960 challenges of life through faith in God. It is not 616 00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:36.840 merely a physical, temporal success, but a spiritual conquest that 617 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:42.559 reflects God's power and sovereignty. In the Old Testament, victory 618 00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.400 is frequently depicted in the context of battles and deliverance. 619 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.320 The account of David and Goliath and First Samuel seventeen 620 00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.880 illustrates how faith and reliance on God lead to victory. David, 621 00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.880 a young shepherd, defeats the giant Goliath, not by his 622 00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:57.840 own strength, but by trusting in the Lord Yahweh. In 623 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:02.679 First Samuel seventeen, verse forty seven, the Israelites conquest in Jericho, 624 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.039 which we talked about earlier, is another example of victory 625 00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:08.280 through obedience and faith, where God instructs Joshua to have 626 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.280 the people march around the city for seven days. On 627 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.039 the seventh day, the walls of Jericho fall, and the 628 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:17.000 New Testament, victory is primarily spiritual, achieved through Jesus Christ 629 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.000 one Corinthians fifteen fifty seven proclaims, but thanks b to 630 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:24.760 God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 631 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.320 Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquers sin and death, 632 00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:33.559 granting believers victory over their spiritual forces of darkness. The 633 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:39.480 apostle John writes in First John five to four, for 634 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.920 everyone born of God overcomes the world, and this is 635 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:48.480 the victory that overcome the world. Our faith, faith in 636 00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:51.960 Jesus Christ, is the means by which believers experience victory 637 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.800 over the trials and temptations of the world. And Revelation, 638 00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:58.440 the ultimate victory is depicted in the final defeat of 639 00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:03.400 Satan and the established of God's eternal kingdom. Revelation twelve 640 00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:06.679 ten declares, then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, 641 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:11.239 now have come the salvation and the power of the 642 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.599 kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ. 643 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.280 For the accusers of his brothers has been thrown down 644 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:20.960 he who accuses them day and night before our God. Thus, 645 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:26.280 obedience and victory are intricately linked in biblical narrative. In 646 00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.760 the Biblical narrative, with obedience to God leading to spiritual 647 00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.000 victory and the fulfillment of his promises. All right, So 648 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.199 I just thought i'd go over that very important stuff. 649 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.599 And then God's fame and fear among nations in First 650 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.920 Chronicles fourteen, verse seventeen, where it says, and the fame 651 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.480 of David went out into the lands, and the Lord 652 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.840 Yahweh caused all nations to fear him. God's work through 653 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:54.599 David brings reverence and recognition among the nations. So we'll 654 00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:58.119 look a little deeper into that. The theme of God's 655 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.000 fame and fear of him among the nations is the 656 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:07.239 rear carrying motif throughout the Bible, illustrating his sovereignty, power, 657 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:11.679 and the universal recognition of his divine authority. This concept 658 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.840 is deeply rooted in the narrative of Israel's history in 659 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:20.320 God's interactions with other nations. In the Old Testament, God's 660 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.760 fame is often linked to his mighty acts and the 661 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:26.960 deliverance of his people. The exodus up from Egypt is 662 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:36.840 a seminal event establishes God's reputation among the nations. Exodus 663 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.480 nine sixteen, God declares to Pharaoh, but I have raised 664 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.400 you up for this very purpose, that I might display 665 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.079 my power in you, and my name might be proclaimed 666 00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:49.360 on all the earth. His proclamation underscores the attention behind 667 00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:56.320 God's miraculous interventions to make his name known in the realm, 668 00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.960 in this realm, or globally, or however you want to 669 00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:02.559 say it. The conquest of Canaan further amplifies this theme. 670 00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:07.239 In Joshua two nine through eleven, Rahab, a resident of Jericho, 671 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.000 acknowledges the fear that has fallen upon her people due 672 00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:12.679 to the Israelites approach, saying, I know that the Lord 673 00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.519 Yahweh has given you this land, and that a great 674 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:17.440 fear of You has fallen on us, so that all 675 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.000 who live in this country are melting in fear because 676 00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.800 of you. This fear directly attributed to the reports of 677 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:26.320 God's mighty works, such as parting the Red Sea and 678 00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:32.000 the defeat of the Amorite kings. So throughout scripture, the 679 00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.559 fame and fear of God among the nations serve as 680 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:38.320 a testament to his unparalyzed power, parallel power, and the 681 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:42.599 ultimate fulfillment of his redemptive plan. This theme underscores the 682 00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:46.239 universal scope of God's authority and the inevitable recognition of 683 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:50.320 his glory by all peoples. Okay, so there we go. 684 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.599 That's a nice little explanation of that. So let's go 685 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.039 over a brief description of what we just read. That 686 00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.800 would we get details of that first. Chronicles fourteen eight 687 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.400 through seventeen details David's victory over the Philistines, highlighting the 688 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:08.239 abhorreance of relying on divine guidance over personal strength. David 689 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:13.880 sought God for strategy in both battles, winning with God's 690 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:19.280 help using different tactics, and subsequently gained national renowns, cementing 691 00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:23.800 his role as king. Expect resistance. Even when God grants 692 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:29.840 peace in advancement, Spiritual opposition often flows follows. Seek seek 693 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:34.519 God constantly. David did not rely on past successes, but 694 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:38.920 required of God for each new battle divine strategy. Victory 695 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:44.400 came through obedience to specific, sometimes unconventional instructions. The sound 696 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.880 of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees God's power, 697 00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:52.320 not man's. David recognized God as the breaker who broke 698 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:58.280 through enemy lines total victory. David destroyed the idols of 699 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:03.159 the Philistines, demonstrating a comitment to removing false worship. This 700 00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.519 passage highlights that true success comes from relying on God's 701 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:11.159 timing and methods rather than human strength. All right, so 702 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.079 now we're done with chapter fourteen. Let's go over some 703 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:20.159 practical applications real quick, seek God's guidance. Like David, we 704 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:23.519 should seek God's direction in our decisions, trusting his wisdom 705 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:29.159 over our own understanding. Acknowledge God's role and success. Recognize 706 00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.760 that our achievements are not established by God for his purposes, 707 00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:38.320 not merely for personal advancement. Sorry, he says, Recognize that 708 00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:41.719 our achievements are established by God for his purposes, not 709 00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:46.159 merely for personal advancement. The next one is value godly relationships. 710 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:49.920 Cultivate relationships that honor God and contribute to his work, 711 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:54.679 as seen in David's alliance with Hiram. Obey God's commands, 712 00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.599 follow God's instructions faithfully, knowing that obedience leads to his 713 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:04.119 blood and victories. So let's go ahead and jump up 714 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.280 here to additional scriptures that connect Proverbs three verses five 715 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:11.440 through six. Trust in the Lord Yahweh with all your heart, 716 00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:14.800 and lean on on your own understanding in all your ways. 717 00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:19.480 Acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Next, 718 00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:22.559 we have Psalms thirty seven, verse twenty three. The steps 719 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.199 of a man are ordered by the Lord Yahweh, who 720 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:30.239 takes delight in his journey. James one five. If any 721 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.559 of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives 722 00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:38.719 generously to all without finding fault, and will be given 723 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:42.320 to him. Right. That's James one five. So there you go. 724 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:47.480 That is chapter fourteen. We're complete there. Now, let me 725 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:52.719 just read the introduction to chapter fifteen. Okay, so we 726 00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:58.719 have first Chronicles fifteen is a chapter of celebration, obedience, 727 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:02.920 and reflection on this sanctity of God's commandments. It outlines 728 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:07.400 King David's elaborate preparations and grand procession for the transportation 729 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.440 of the Arc of the Covenant to the City of David, 730 00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:14.920 following God's precise directives. The chapter concludes with a moment 731 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:19.760 of personal criticism David faces from his wife McCall, further 732 00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:24.960 emphasizing the contrast between public rejoicing and private conflict. Okay, 733 00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:28.800 so we have Let me just get down to my 734 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:33.880 teaching points here and then we're gonna jump to chapter 735 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:41.880 fifteen on the screen. Oh man, what happened to me? 736 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:47.199 Oh wow? That sucks. All these little what is it 737 00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.280 called bulba got stuck to the bottom. There we go. 738 00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:56.559 I don't want the bulba to come in this trow 739 00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:57.880 because it makes me have to chew, and I don't 740 00:44:57.880 --> 00:44:59.320 want to chew while I'm talking to you guys. So 741 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:03.719 let's go ahead and do this. So first Chronicles fifteen, 742 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:11.639 verse one, the Ark brought to Jerusalem. So David built 743 00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:14.199 houses for himself in the city of David, and he 744 00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:17.079 prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched 745 00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:20.639 a tent for it. Then David said, no one may 746 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.199 carry the Ark of God but the Levites, for the 747 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:26.000 Lord Yahweh has chosen them to carry the Ark of 748 00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:30.280 God and to minister before him forever. And David gathered 749 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.360 all Israel together at Jerusalem to bring up the Ark 750 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.280 of the Lord Yahweh to its place which he had 751 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.559 prepared for it. Then David assembled the children of Aaron 752 00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:46.159 and the Levites of the sons of Cohath Yuriel the Chief, 753 00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:48.480 and one hundred and twenty of his brethren of the 754 00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:54.719 sons of MARRORII Asiah the Chief, and two hundred and 755 00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:57.960 twenty of his brethren of the sons of Jersham Joel 756 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:02.119 the Chief and thirty of his brethren of the sons 757 00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:07.840 of Eliza fan Shemaiah the Chief, and two hundred of 758 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:10.480 his brethren of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the Chief, 759 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:13.360 and eighty of his brethren of the sons of yu 760 00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:18.079 Zeal and Aminidab the Chief, in one hundred and twelve 761 00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:23.559 of his brethren, and David called Zaduk and Abbathar the 762 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:32.480 priest and for the Levites, for Yuriel, Asiah, Joel, Shamaiah, Eliel, 763 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:35.800 and Aminadab, and said to them, you are the heads 764 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.320 of your father's houses of the Levites, sanctify yourselves, you 765 00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:41.440 and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark 766 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.639 of the Lord Yahweh, God, of the Ark of the 767 00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:47.559 Lord Yahweh, God of Israel, in the place I have 768 00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:50.320 prepared for it. For because you did not do it 769 00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.800 the first time, the Lord Yahweh, our God, broke out 770 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:56.440 against us because he did not, because we did not 771 00:46:56.599 --> 00:47:00.679 consult him about the proper order. So the priests and 772 00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.559 the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the Ark of 773 00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:07.440 the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel, and the children of 774 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.480 the Levites bore the Ark of God on their shoulders 775 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:13.920 by its polls, as Moses had commanded, according to the 776 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.159 word of the Lord. Now let's stop here real quick. 777 00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:23.400 So first of all, I don't know if you guys 778 00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:26.440 have every been in the military and you've ever carried 779 00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:29.639 this massive flag. And I won the Soldier of the 780 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.079 Year competition. It was like the NCO of the Year competition. 781 00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.599 When I was in the Army, it's a Sergeant of 782 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.599 the Year. NCO means sergeant, so a sergeant of the 783 00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:42.079 Year for my battalion and then for my brigade. And 784 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.400 then also I went and competed in this for the 785 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.119 State of California Sergeant of the Year. So it was 786 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.559 like a big deal in the Army National Guard. It 787 00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:53.400 was like I got chosen by the sergeant majors to 788 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:56.159 do this, and I had to go through these competitions 789 00:47:56.239 --> 00:47:58.960 to you know, go you know, make it from one 790 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:02.000 level to the next level and then eventually go to state. 791 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.119 And since I became n c O the year for 792 00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:08.039 the battalion of the brigade, we did this company run 793 00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:14.519 with like I mean, we had the whole entire I 794 00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:17.079 don't know if it was the whole I think it 795 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:21.719 was the whole fortieth cab running on this doing this run, 796 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.480 and I'm holding this since I was the n c 797 00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:26.199 O of the year, I'm holding this flag and I'm 798 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:34.639 running and uh, our command sergeant major was running with us, 799 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:36.719 you know. All we had all these these people running, 800 00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.960 and then our lieutenant colonel was also running in the 801 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:41.840 front with me, and I had to be in the 802 00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:44.239 front of everybody. And what he said was, I need 803 00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.599 you to take that flag, and I want you to 804 00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:49.960 run all the way around the whole formation and then 805 00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.039 run all the way back up and catch up to me. 806 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:56.239 And I'm already like, oh my goodness, I'm already huffing 807 00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:58.440 just carrying this flag. So I'm like, all right, So 808 00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.400 I got a run and I got a hold flag. 809 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:03.320 And the whole reason why I'm bringing this up is 810 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.760 because these guys have the Arc of the Covenant on 811 00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.639 their shoulders and it's by poles, so they're probably walking 812 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.079 this thing and they're probably you know, there's a lot 813 00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:14.400 of pressure on them, and it was a lot of 814 00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.039 pressure on me when I was holding this flag. I 815 00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:18.639 didn't run all around the whole formation, and we're all 816 00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:21.599 the way to the front, and our lieutenant colonel is 817 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.079 a runner he has no problem. He's got these long legs, 818 00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:26.519 he's tall. I'm a lot shorter than him. I'm like, 819 00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:28.239 oh my goodness, how many catch up to this guy? 820 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.960 And I'm running with this big old flag. So anyways, 821 00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:34.159 it's a lot of pressure because that flag is very 822 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:36.840 important to everybody in that and that I can't let 823 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:39.840 that drop on the floor. And I also can't fall 824 00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:42.159 out because I'm the souldier of the year. I better 825 00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.519 do it. So I kind of can tell the pressure 826 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.199 that these guys have on them, you know, putting this 827 00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:48.039 thing on their shoulder. You got to sometimes I try 828 00:49:48.079 --> 00:49:50.400 to put myself in their place, like, dang, they're carrying 829 00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.599 this thing on their shoulder. It's probably, you know, a 830 00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:54.679 little heavy, and it starts to get heavy as you 831 00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.960 walk in, you know. So it's really interesting. But let's 832 00:49:58.079 --> 00:49:59.800 just let me just go over some notes real quick 833 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:04.800 that I have with the first verse. Okay, we're stopping 834 00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:07.719 at chapter verse sixteen, just so you guys know. But 835 00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:13.800 so it says David's preparation. David prepared a place for 836 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.239 the ark of God and pins to ten for it. 837 00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:20.760 First Chronicles fifteen, verse one. This shows the importance of 838 00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:27.320 preparing our hearts and lives to welcome God's presence. So David, 839 00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:28.880 the youngest son of Jesse, is one of the most 840 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:32.679 prominent figures in the Bible. Let's see where music skills 841 00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:34.559 defeating Like, yeah, you know what, I'm not going to 842 00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.400 go over that, because David's preparation is not really going 843 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.559 over the ark of the covenant preparation. It's going over 844 00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:42.480 everything we already went through on the last one I read, 845 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:43.760 so I don't want to read through that again for 846 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.400 you guys, Let's look up the Levites role. David gathered 847 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:50.480 the descendants of Aaron and the Levites to carry the arc, 848 00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:53.559 as they were chosen by God for this sacred duty 849 00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:57.320 First Chronicles fifteen, verse two. This highlights the importance of 850 00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:02.519 respecting God's appointed roles and we responsibilities, And we'll go 851 00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:07.760 over the Levites role. Levites hold a significant position within 852 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:11.760 the Biblical narrative, serving as a distinct tribe set apart 853 00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.719 for religious duties in service to God. Their role is 854 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:18.480 deeply rooted in the covenantial relationship between God and Israel, 855 00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:22.159 as outlined in the Old Testament. The Levites, descendant of Levi, 856 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:24.440 one of the twelve sons of Jacob. Their selection for 857 00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:27.719 religious services linked to their zealous actions. During the incident 858 00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.559 of the Golden Calf, as recorded in Exodus thirty two, 859 00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:33.840 Moses himself, a Levite, called for those who were on 860 00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:37.199 the Lord's side, and the sons of Levi responded, executing 861 00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:42.800 judgment on the idolators Exodus twenty are thirty two, twenty 862 00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:45.639 six through twenty nine. This act of loyalty set them 863 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.599 apart for service to God, duties and responsibilities. The primary 864 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.119 role of the Levites was to assist the priests, who 865 00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.719 were also from the tribe of Levi, specifically from the 866 00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.840 line of Aaron. The Levites were responsible for the care 867 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.039 and transportation of the tabernacle and its furnishings. During the 868 00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:08.880 Israelites' wilderness wanderings, they were charged with setting up, taking down, 869 00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.079 and carrying the sacred tent and its implements. In the 870 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.119 Promised Land, the Levites continued their service by maintaining the 871 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:19.119 sanctuary and assisting in various offerings and sacrifices. They were 872 00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:23.159 also tasked with teaching the law to the people, as 873 00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.679 seen in Deuteronomy thirty three, verse ten. You shall teach 874 00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:32.840 your ordinances to Jacob and your law to Israel inheritance 875 00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.800 of provision. Unlike the other tribes, the Levites did not 876 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.559 receive a territorial inheritance. Instead, their inheritance was from the 877 00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.519 Lord himself, as stated in Deuteronomy eighteen, verses one through two. 878 00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:46.199 Role in music and worship, The Leevites played a crucial 879 00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:49.039 role in the musical aspect of worship. Under King David, 880 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:51.400 they were organized into groups to provide music for the 881 00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:55.800 temple services first Chronicles fifteen sixteen through twenty two. This 882 00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.960 included singing, playing instruments, and leading the congregation in worship, 883 00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:02.400 of a tradition that continued into the time of the 884 00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:07.800 Second Temple. Judicial and administration administrative functions. Beyond their religious duties, 885 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:12.960 the Levites also served in judicial and ad administrative capacities. 886 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.159 They acted as judges and officials, helping Tom maintain justice 887 00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:21.480 and order within the community Deuteronomy seventeen eight through nine. 888 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:24.760 Their presence and the cities of refuge, as was outlined 889 00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:28.639 in numbers thirty five, further underscores their rolling upholding justice 890 00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:33.079 and mercy. Spiritual significance. The Levites symbolized dedication and service 891 00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:36.719 to God, embodying the principle of holiness and separation for 892 00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:42.039 divine purposes. Their unique role underscores the importance of worship, teaching, 893 00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:47.079 and justice within the covenant community. As intermediaries between God 894 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:51.000 and people, the Levites highlight the necessity of faithful service 895 00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:59.039 and obedience to God's commands. So and then in verse fourteen, 896 00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:02.159 the priests and the Livites sanctified themselves to bring the 897 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:07.119 ark of the Lord God of Israel, the Lord Yahweh, 898 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.719 God of Israel. So the Levites consecrated themselves to bring 899 00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:14.280 the ark of the Lord Yahweh one Chronicles fifteen fourteen. 900 00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:18.599 This act of consecration signifies the need for purity and 901 00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:23.559 holiness in approaching God. So let's see what consecration is. 902 00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:28.360 Consecration is a significant significant Biblical concept that denotes the 903 00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:31.639 act of setting apart a person, place, or object for 904 00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:35.039 the service and worship of God. This act is deeply 905 00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:38.719 rooted in the understanding of holiness and dedication to the 906 00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.159 divine purpose. Throughout the scriptures, consecration is betrayed are portrayed 907 00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:48.159 as both a divine initiative and a human response, reflecting 908 00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:53.239 the covenant relationship between God and his people. Okay, consecration 909 00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:56.199 is not limited to specific rituals or ceremonies, but is 910 00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:59.960 continuous aspect of worship and daily living. Believers are encourag 911 00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:03.159 to consecrate their hearts and actions to God, seeking to 912 00:55:03.239 --> 00:55:07.000 align their lives and His will. As spoken about in 913 00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:10.199 two Timothy two twenty one, Paul writes, if a man 914 00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:13.480 cleanses himself with the latter, he will be an instrument 915 00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.559 for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master, and 916 00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:19.719 prepared to do any good work. This pasts underscores the 917 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:24.280 importance of personal holiness and readiness for God's service, and 918 00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:27.599 then in the Old Testament, consecration is often associated with 919 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:31.159 the priesthood, the tabernacle on the temple. The Hebrew word 920 00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:37.000 for consecration is qwadesh implpies make implies making something holy 921 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.320 or setting it apart for sacred use. The consecration of 922 00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:43.119 Aaron and his sons as priests is a prominent example, 923 00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:46.039 and exos is twenty nine to one. God commands Moses, 924 00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:49.079 this is what you are to do to consecrate them 925 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:54.719 so they may serve me as priests. This process involves sacrifices, watching, anointing, 926 00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:58.960 and wearing of sacred garments. Symbolizing purification and dedication to 927 00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:02.760 God's service. The consecration of the tabernacle and its furnishing 928 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:06.280 is another key aspect and Exodus forty, verse nine, God 929 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:10.280 instructs Moses take the annoyting oil and anoit the tabernacle 930 00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:13.760 and everything in it, consecrate it all the furnishings, that 931 00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:16.639 it will be holy. This act signified the Tabernacle was 932 00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:19.920 set apart as a dwelling place for God's presence among 933 00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.559 his people. In the New Testament, the concept of consecration 934 00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:26.480 extends to the life of every believer. Through the sacrificial 935 00:56:26.559 --> 00:56:30.519 work of Jesus Christ, Believers are called to live consecrated lives. 936 00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:34.800 Romans twelve to one exhorts Therefore, I urge you, brothers, 937 00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:37.199 on account of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as 938 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:41.159 living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your 939 00:56:41.239 --> 00:56:44.960 spiritual service of worship. This verse highlights the call for 940 00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:49.360 Christians to dedicate their entire being to God, living in 941 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.880 a manner that reflects His holiness. The consecration of Jesus 942 00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:56.119 himself as central theme in the New Testament. In John seventeen, 943 00:56:56.239 --> 00:57:01.239 verse nineteen, Jesus praise for them, I sanctify myself so 944 00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:04.239 that they too may be sanctified by the truth. Here 945 00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:07.360 Jesus sets himself apart for the purpose of redeeming humanity, 946 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:14.760 demonstrating the ultimate consecration. So the symbolism of consecration is 947 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:18.400 rich throughout the Bible. It often involves elements such as 948 00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:22.360 anoiting oil, sacrifices, and the laying on of hands, each 949 00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:28.039 representing aspects of purification, dedication, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. 950 00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:31.960 The anoitting oil, for instance, is a symbol of the 951 00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:35.280 Holy Spirit's presence and the setting apart of individuals for 952 00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:39.880 divine purposes. Consecration is a profound expression of the believer's 953 00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:43.920 relationship with God, reflecting a commitment to live according to 954 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:47.039 his statutes and purposes. It is both a privilege and 955 00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.880 a responsibility, calling for a life marked by holiness, obedience, 956 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.679 and devotion to the Lord. I wanted to make sure 957 00:57:53.719 --> 00:57:57.440 I went over that for everybody. And then first Chronicles fifteen, 958 00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:02.320 obedience to God's instructions, David instructed the Levites to carry 959 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:04.920 the arc of the shoulders with poles, as God had 960 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:11.760 commanded through Moses Verse Chronicles fifteen fifteen. This demonstrates the 961 00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:16.760 importance of adhering to God's specific instructions and worship. We'll 962 00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:19.559 look a little deeper into that before we read verse sixteen. 963 00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:24.039 Obedience to God's instructions is a fundamental aspect of the 964 00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:28.079 Christian faith, reflecting a believer's submission and the commitment to 965 00:58:28.199 --> 00:58:31.960 God's will. In this act of aligning one's actions, thoughts, 966 00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:35.000 and intentions with the commands and teachings found in scripture, 967 00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:38.679 obedience is not merely a legalistic adherence to rules, but 968 00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:45.480 a heartfelt response to God's love and authority. The Bible 969 00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:48.719 consistently emphasized the importance of obedience as a demonstration of 970 00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:51.800 faith and love for God, and the Old Testament, obedience 971 00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:54.760 is es central to the covenant relationship between God and 972 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:59.920 his people. Duteronomy eleven, verse one states you shall therefore 973 00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:05.639 love the Lord Yahweh, your God, and always keep his charge, 974 00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:09.719 his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments. This verse underscores 975 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:13.039 the connection between love for God and obedience to his commands. 976 00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:19.239 In the New Testament, Jesus exemplifies perfect obedience, and Philippians two, 977 00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.119 verse eight describes Jesus as being found in appearance as 978 00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.400 a man, he helped himself and became obedient to death, 979 00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.360 even death on the cross. Christ's obedience is the model 980 00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.719 for believers, demonstrating that true obedience often involved sacrifice and 981 00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:34.079 submission to God's greater plan. What's the role of the 982 00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:37.320 Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in 983 00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:41.960 enabling believers to obey God's instruction. Ezekiel thirty six twenty 984 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:44.639 seven promises, and I will put my spirit within you 985 00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:47.840 and cause you to walk in my statutes and carefully 986 00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:52.199 observe my ordinances. The in dwelling of the Holy Spirit 987 00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:59.920 empowers Christians to live in accordance with God's will, transfer 988 01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:06.639 their hearts and minds to desire what God desires obedience 989 01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:14.840 and faith. Obedience is entrance intrinsically linked to faith. Hebrews eleven, 990 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:18.760 often referred to as the Faith Hall of Fame, highlights 991 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:22.199 numerous individuals whose faith was demonstrated through their obedience to 992 01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:27.920 God's commands. Hebrews eleven eight notes by faith, Abraham obeyed 993 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.519 when he was called to go out to a place 994 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:36.119 he would later receive as an inheritance. Consequences of obedience 995 01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:40.360 and disobedience scripture outlines both the blessings and obedience and 996 01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:44.159 the consequences of disobedience. In Deuteronomy twenty eight, God presents 997 01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:49.920 a series of blessings for obedience, including prosperity, protection, and favor. Conversely, 998 01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:55.000 disobedience leads to curses and hardships. That dichotomy illustrates the 999 01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:59.239 principle that obedience brings life and blessings, while disobedience results 1000 01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:04.199 in separation from God's favor and in the New Testament, 1001 01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:07.719 in James one twenty two, obedience for God's instruction is 1002 01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:10.480 not limited to grand jesture, but is reflected in daily 1003 01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:14.960 life choices. James one t two exhorts believers be doers 1004 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.239 of the word and not hears only deceiving yourselves. This 1005 01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:23.119 called the action, emphasizes that true obedience involves applying God's 1006 01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:26.960 word in every aspect of life, from personal conduct to 1007 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:32.320 interactions with others. While obedience to God God's instruction is 1008 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:35.480 a lifelong journey, it is essential for spiritual growth and 1009 01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:39.480 intimacy with God. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, 1010 01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:42.760 the example of Christ, and the support of the Christian community, 1011 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.239 believers are equipped to live obediently, reflecting God's love and 1012 01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:50.639 holiness to the world. Let's go ahead and jump right 1013 01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:57.679 back to oops. Hopefully that okay, let's jump right back 1014 01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:03.840 to verse sixteen. So first Chronicles fifteen, verse sixteen. Now, 1015 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:06.920 then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to 1016 01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:10.320 appoint their brethren to be the singers, accompanied by instruments 1017 01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:13.880 of music, string instruments, harps, and symbols, by raising the 1018 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:18.599 voice with resounding joy. So the Levites appointed he Man 1019 01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:24.199 the son of Joel, and his brethren, Asaf the son 1020 01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:30.599 of Berachiah, and their brethren the sons of Marrariah, Ethan 1021 01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:35.519 the son of Kushiah, and with them their brethren of 1022 01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:49.239 the second rank Zachariah, ben Jazil, shamirmth Jahil ni Iliab, Beniah, Massiah, 1023 01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:58.119 not Messiah but Massiah, matt Tatiya, elf Law, Mickniah, obed 1024 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:03.599 Edom and Gea the gatekeepers. The singers he Man, A, 1025 01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:08.239 Saff and Ethan were to sound the symbols of Bronze, Zachariah, a, 1026 01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:19.159 zeal U, shim Mirimoth, Jaheel, ooney ilieb Masssiah, and Benaiah 1027 01:03:19.440 --> 01:03:30.639 with strings. According to Alamoth Mattathiah, h lit Law Aliphile Mcneah, 1028 01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:36.719 oh Uh obed Edom, Geu and Asiah to direct the 1029 01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:45.039 harps on the uh shith wait shim and Ah. Janaiah, 1030 01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:47.800 leader of the Levites, was instructed in charge in charge 1031 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:53.159 of the music because he was skillful. Bereykiah and Elkanah 1032 01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:59.159 were doorkeepers of the arc uh she Benaiah, Joseph at 1033 01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:09.239 Nothanel neth was It nethanel A, massk Guy, Zachariah, ben 1034 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:12.639 and Aiah, and Eliezer. The priests were to blow the 1035 01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:15.920 trumpets before the ark of God and obed Edom and 1036 01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:19.559 Janiah doorkeepers for the ark. So David, the elders of 1037 01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:22.079 Israel and the captains over thousands went to bring up 1038 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:24.559 the ark of the Covenant to the Lord Yahweh from 1039 01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:28.239 the house of obed Edam with joy. And so it 1040 01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:30.760 was when God helped the lee bites who bore the 1041 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:33.760 ark of the Covenant of the Lord Yahweh, they offered 1042 01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:37.400 seven bulls and seven rams. David was closed with the 1043 01:04:37.559 --> 01:04:40.440 robe of fine linen, as were all the lee bites 1044 01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.199 who bore the ark, the singers, the Chennanaiah, the music 1045 01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:47.719 master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod 1046 01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:50.960 thus all Israel brought up the ark of the Covenant 1047 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:53.840 of the Lord Yahweh was shouting and with the sound 1048 01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.639 of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making music 1049 01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:01.039 with string instruments and harps. And it happened as the 1050 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:03.199 ark of the Covenant of the Lord Yahweh came to 1051 01:05:03.239 --> 01:05:06.840 the Yahweh came to the city of David. That McCall 1052 01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:10.039 Saul's daughter looked through a window and saw King David 1053 01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:14.000 whirling and playing music, and she despised him in her heart. 1054 01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.920 All right, So not the right wife to be with 1055 01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:20.519 if she's despising you for playing music to the Lord. Right, 1056 01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:25.400 joyful music, Let's look at that. We have some joyful worship. 1057 01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:29.159 The procession was marked by music singing in great joy 1058 01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:33.119 first Chronicles fifteen, verses sixteen, and then also twenty five 1059 01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:36.599 through twenty eight. Worship should be a joyful expression of 1060 01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:44.639 love and reverence for God. Joyful worship is a expression 1061 01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:50.079 of reverence and adoration towards God, characterized by joy and gladness. 1062 01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:54.079 It is a vital aspect of Christian life, reflecting the 1063 01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:58.280 believer's gratitude, love, and the awe for the Creator. Joyful 1064 01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:01.239 worship is not merely an emotional response, but a profound 1065 01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:06.880 acknowledgment of God's majesty, goodness, and faithfulness. Biblical foundation, the 1066 01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:10.559 Bible frequently emphasizes the aphorreance of joy in worship. In 1067 01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:13.559 the Old Testament, the Psalms were replete with calls to 1068 01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:18.280 worship God joyfully. Psalms one hundred, verses one through two 1069 01:06:18.480 --> 01:06:21.559 exhorts shout for joy to the Lord Yahweh. All the 1070 01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:24.719 earth serve the Lord Yahweh with gladness, come into his 1071 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.920 presence with joyful songs. This passage highlights the communal and 1072 01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:34.360 exuberant nature of worship, inviting all creation to participate in 1073 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:39.400 joyful praise. In the New Testament, joyful worship is further 1074 01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:45.639 exemplified in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The 1075 01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:49.920 Early Church has ascribed in Acts often gathered with glad 1076 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:54.079 and sincere hearts, praising God Acts two forty six through 1077 01:06:54.159 --> 01:06:58.199 forty seven. The Apostle Paul also encourages believers to rejoice 1078 01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:02.000 in the Lord always Philippian four to four, underscoring the 1079 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:08.599 perpetual nature of joy in Christian life expressions and joyful worship. 1080 01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:14.519 Joyful worship can be expressed in various forms, including singing, dancing, clapping, 1081 01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:18.920 and playing musical instruments. Psalms one fifty, verse four encourages 1082 01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:23.199 worship worshippers to praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise 1083 01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:26.719 him with strings and flu These expressions are not limited 1084 01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:30.840 to personal worship, but are often part of corporate gatherings, 1085 01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:35.880 where the collective joy of the congregation magnifies the worship experience. 1086 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:41.000 Theological implications, joyful worship is rooted in the understanding of 1087 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:44.679 God's character and his redemptive work through Jesus Christ. It 1088 01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:49.000 is response to the recognition of God's sovereignty, love, and grace. 1089 01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:52.480 The joy experience in worship is a foretaste of the 1090 01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:56.440 eternal joy promised to believers, as seen in Revelation nineteen 1091 01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:01.800 verses six through seven, where the multitude and He exclaims, 1092 01:08:02.719 --> 01:08:06.320 Hallelujah for the Lord. Yahweh our God the Almighty reigns. 1093 01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:09.039 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory. 1094 01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:14.400 Challenges and considerations. While joyful worship is a biblical mandate, 1095 01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:17.920 it can be challenging for some believers due to personal circumstances, 1096 01:08:18.359 --> 01:08:23.279 cultural differences of worship styles. It is essential to recognize 1097 01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:28.159 that joy in worship is not dependent on eternal external conditions, 1098 01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:31.840 but is the fruit of the spirit Galatians five, twenty two. 1099 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:36.560 Believers are encouraged to cultivate a heart of gratitude and 1100 01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.680 focus on God's unchanging nature, which transcends temporal trials. Conclusion, 1101 01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:46.000 joyful worship is an integral part of the Christian faith, 1102 01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:51.359 reflecting a deep seated joy that arises from a relationship 1103 01:08:51.439 --> 01:08:55.079 with God. It is both a personal and communal expression 1104 01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:59.439 of adoration rooted in biblical teachings, and a transformative power 1105 01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:03.239 of the Holy Spirit. Through joyful worship, believers experience a 1106 01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:08.000 profound connection with God, celebrating his presence and anticipating the 1107 01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:11.640 eternal joy of his kingdom. All right, So I thought 1108 01:09:11.640 --> 01:09:15.319 i'd go over that with you, guys. So we finished 1109 01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.039 chapter fifteen. So let's go ahead and go over a 1110 01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:21.000 brief description of what we read. And this is going 1111 01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:24.279 to be a brief description of chapter fifteen versus one 1112 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:28.600 all the way through twenty nine. So in First Chronicles 1113 01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:32.279 fifteen one through twenty nine describes King David bringing the 1114 01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:36.439 Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem with proper reverence, utilizing 1115 01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:40.479 levites for transport and celebrating them with music and dancing. 1116 01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:45.399 It highlights the correction of previous mistakes following God's instructions 1117 01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:49.680 and highlights the joy of honoring God's presence despite McCall's 1118 01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:57.000 disapproval key themes and meanings correcting mistakes at Uzah's death. 1119 01:09:57.119 --> 01:09:59.479 During the first attempt to move the arc, David ensures 1120 01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:03.039 the Levi follow the exact instruction from the Book of Numbers, 1121 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:07.279 carrying it on their shoulders rather than a court preparation 1122 01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:13.479 and sanctification. David commands the priest to purify sanctify themselves 1123 01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:18.319 before transporting the arc, emphasizing the need for holiness and 1124 01:10:18.479 --> 01:10:23.119 careful reverend action when dealing with God's presence, worship and celebration. 1125 01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:27.760 The occasion is marked by immense joy, with worshipers singing, 1126 01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:32.319 playing instruments, and dancing, demonstrating that presence of God should 1127 01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:38.199 be met with public enthusiastic celebration. David's humility despite being king, 1128 01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:41.640 David wore a simple linen ephod a garment worn by 1129 01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:45.039 priest instead of royal robes, showing he viewed himself as 1130 01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:51.399 a servant to God. McCall's contempt in Versus fifteen, Verse 1131 01:10:51.439 --> 01:10:56.199 twenty nine. The passage concludes with Saul's daughter McCall despising 1132 01:10:56.319 --> 01:10:59.840 David for his passionate worship, which highlights the contrast between 1133 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.359 true worshipers and those who focus on rigid outward appearances 1134 01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:09.840 USTA's examples. This passage is commonly used in studies discussing 1135 01:11:09.880 --> 01:11:13.680 the order of worship, proper handling of the Holy learning 1136 01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:27.119 from past failures, and enthusiastic prayer praise synonyms related terms procession, procession, consecration, reverence, worship, sanctify, leevites, 1137 01:11:27.399 --> 01:11:31.840 ark of the Covenant, epod, rejoicing, Tabernacle of David. All right, 1138 01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:35.479 so pretty cool stuff. Let's go over some practical applications 1139 01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:41.000 for chapter fifteen. Prepare your heart. Just as David prepared 1140 01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:43.319 a place for the arc, we should prepare our hearts 1141 01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:47.520 to receive God's presence through prayer and reflection. Number two, 1142 01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:52.600 Respect God's order. Recognize and respect the roles and responsibilities 1143 01:11:52.880 --> 01:11:56.000 of God God has established within the church and community. 1144 01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:01.079 Pursue holiness. Like the Levites, we should strive for holiness 1145 01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:05.439 and purity in our lives, setting ourselves apart for God's purposes. 1146 01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:11.479 Number four, follow God's instructions. Ensure that our worship and 1147 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:15.359 service aligned with God's word, following his instructions with diligence 1148 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:20.600 and care. Number five worship with joy. Approach worship with 1149 01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:24.159 a heart full of joy and gratitude, celebrating God's presence 1150 01:12:24.600 --> 01:12:28.479 and blessings in our lives. Let's go out to go 1151 01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:33.119 with some additional scriptures that connect Exodus twenty five, verse fourteen, 1152 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:37.600 instructions for carrying the arc, emphasizing obedience to God's commands. 1153 01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:42.600 Psalms twenty four, verses seven through ten, a Psalm of 1154 01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:46.079 David celebrating the entrance of the King of Glory, reflecting 1155 01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:51.119 the joy and reverence in worship. Hebrews twelve, verse twenty 1156 01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:54.960 eight through twenty nine, encouragement to worship God with reverence 1157 01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:59.600 and all recognizing his holiness. Then we have Romans twelve, 1158 01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:04.399 verse one, a call to present our bodies as living sacrifices, 1159 01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:09.520 holy and pleasing to God as an act of spiritual worship. Oops. 1160 01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:22.000 Oh jeez, jeez, give me one second. Yeah, I had 1161 01:13:22.039 --> 01:13:26.680 a clog toilet upstairs. So even though you guys don't 1162 01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:30.159 really recognize that, it'll had to be gone for just 1163 01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:34.119 a minute and ran up there real quick. So let's 1164 01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:37.760 go ahead and jump to chapter sixteen. Now, So yeah, 1165 01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:41.680 we're in chapter sixteen, verse one, the arc placed in 1166 01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:44.880 the tabernacle. So first Chronicle sixteen, let's go ahead and 1167 01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:51.680 read a brief intro real quick before we start. Almost 1168 01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:54.079 forgot the intro. I don't want to forget that. So 1169 01:13:54.279 --> 01:14:00.920 we have first Chronicles sixteen recounts the joy the joyous 1170 01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:03.119 arrival of the Ark of the Covenant to the tent 1171 01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:07.319 of David in Jerusalem. This chapter is a symphony of celebration, 1172 01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:11.520 showcasing in nation's reverence and worship. It captures David's song 1173 01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:16.640 of Thanksgiving, which underlines the divine majesty, covenantial faithfulness, and 1174 01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:20.520 the universal reign of God. So let me jump down 1175 01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:24.600 to my teaching points so I can start the chapter. So, 1176 01:14:25.319 --> 01:14:34.119 the Ark of the Covenant, this is what we're going 1177 01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:40.800 to be talking about. Here, I get some water. Here 1178 01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:46.640 we go, all right, First Chronicle sixteen, verse one. So 1179 01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:49.199 they brought the Ark of God and said it in 1180 01:14:49.319 --> 01:14:52.520 the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. 1181 01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:56.239 Then they offer burn offerings and peace offerings, before God. 1182 01:14:57.000 --> 01:14:59.520 And when David had finished offering the burn offerings and 1183 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:02.479 the peace brings, he blessed the people in the name 1184 01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:06.079 of the Lord Yahweh. Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, 1185 01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:08.800 both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, 1186 01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:12.000 a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. And 1187 01:15:12.119 --> 01:15:14.960 he appointed some of the levites to minister before the 1188 01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:18.479 Ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to think and to 1189 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:22.439 praise the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel. Asaf the Chief, 1190 01:15:22.920 --> 01:15:29.359 and next to him Zachariah, then Jeal, Shamir, Moth, Jahel, 1191 01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:35.720 mattahyah Iliab ben Andiah, and obed Edam and Jeal with 1192 01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:39.000 stringed instruments and harps, but ass Of made music with 1193 01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:45.399 symbols Benaniah and Jehaziel. The priests regularly blew the trumpets 1194 01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:49.960 before the ark of the Covenant of God. Okay, so 1195 01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:54.960 that's ending verse six. What's the significance of the Ark 1196 01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:57.319 of the Covenant. I've gone over this many times, but 1197 01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.920 you know, for those that are new need didn't understand. 1198 01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:06.279 The Covenant represented God's presence among his people. David's efforts 1199 01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:09.439 to bring it to Jerusalem highlight the centrality of God's 1200 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:13.399 presence in the life of Israel. So the arc as 1201 01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:17.880 described in the Bible holds profound theological and historical significance. 1202 01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:22.239 It's primarily reference in two distinct contexts. The Ark of 1203 01:16:22.359 --> 01:16:25.479 Noah and the Ark of the Covenant. Each serves as 1204 01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:30.279 a pivotal symbol of God's interaction with humanity, his covenantial promises, 1205 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:33.680 and his divine presence. Let's talk about the Ark of 1206 01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:36.520 Noah first. The Ark of Noah is introduced in Genesis 1207 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:40.840 six' nine in response to the persuasive wickedness of. Humanity 1208 01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:44.479 But god decides to bring a flood to cleanse the. Earth, 1209 01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:48.079 however he Instructs, noah a righteous, man to build an 1210 01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:51.359 arc to preserve the family and pairs of every living creature. 1211 01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:57.319 Creature the arc therefore becomes a vessel of salvation and 1212 01:16:57.439 --> 01:17:02.439 a testament To god's grace and. Judgement genesis six fourteen 1213 01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:06.720 through sixteen provides specific instructions on the construction of the. 1214 01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:11.279 Arc make yourself an arc of gopher, wood make rooms 1215 01:17:11.319 --> 01:17:14.159 in the, ark and code it with pitch inside and. 1216 01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:16.439 Out and this is how you are to build. It 1217 01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:19.640 the arc is to be three hundred cubits. Long fifty 1218 01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:25.439 cubits wide and thirty cubits. High the detailed instruction underscores 1219 01:17:25.479 --> 01:17:29.800 the importance of obedience To god's. Commands, theologically the ark 1220 01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:34.079 of The covenant Symbolizes god's provision and. Protection it prefigures 1221 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:37.520 the salvation offered Through Jesus, christ as noted in Verse peter, 1222 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:41.760 three verse twenty through twenty, one which draws a parallel 1223 01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.680 between the waters of the flood and the waters of, 1224 01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:49.720 baptism signifying a new beginning and. Redemption now let's talk 1225 01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:52.279 about The arc of The. Covenant The arc of The 1226 01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:55.800 covenant is a sacred chest described In exodus twenty, Five 1227 01:17:55.920 --> 01:17:59.319 verses ten through twenty. Two it was constructed under the 1228 01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:03.680 direction Of moses Following god's command and housed the tablets 1229 01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:06.960 of The Ten, Commandments aaron's, rod and a pot of. 1230 01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:10.560 Manna the ark was placed in The holy Of holies 1231 01:18:10.600 --> 01:18:14.439 within The tabernacle and later The, temple Signifying god's dwelling 1232 01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:19.479 among his. People exodus twenty five twenty two, states AND 1233 01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:22.399 i will meet with you there above the mercy seat 1234 01:18:22.520 --> 01:18:25.800 between the two, cherubim that over the ark of the. 1235 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:29.239 TESTIMONY i will speak with you about all THAT i 1236 01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:34.920 command you regarding The. Israelites this highlights the arc as 1237 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:39.439 the focal point of divine communications and communication and. Presence 1238 01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:42.399 the ark of the coven also played a central role 1239 01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:45.880 In israel's religious and national. Life it was carried into, 1240 01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:49.359 battle Symbolizing god's leadership and, power as seen In joshua 1241 01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:53.359 Six during the conquests Of. Jericho the ark's presence assured 1242 01:18:53.479 --> 01:18:57.880 victory and divine, favor reinforcing the covenantial relationship Between god And.
