1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,399
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Sabbath, April five,

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,479
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,240
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,159
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,719
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,960
study series. This is lesson number two how to study

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:58,759
Bible Prophecy, and our caption for today is the Genesis Foundation,

17
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,679
the Genisis Foundation. We'll get into that in just a moment,

18
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:05,400
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and

19
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,120
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

20
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,680
Please join our online community and make sure you have

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,439
the Companion Guide or the Life Application Guide This is

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,879
a way that we apply the truths that we study,

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,200
even in how to study Bible prophecy in four key

24
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:29,560
areas using the win or win principle. So please go

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,480
there because sometimes we have a difficult time applying what

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,439
we study. Applying what we learn very intelligent discussion, sometimes

27
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:45,280
even in ancient languages, you understand, but applying it to

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,680
our lives, like have faith is not applying like have

29
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,680
faith is not application. That's a concept. Well, how do

30
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:54,599
we have faith?

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,159
Speaker 1: In?

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: What ways do we have faith? What does it look

33
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,840
like in our lives? Et cetera. Okay, well, please do

34
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:04,439
that at the appropriate time at your daily portion dot com.

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,959
This is one of the ways that we continue to

36
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,599
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,879
then we will get underway. Bather in Heaven, thank you

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120
for this Sabbath morning and for giving us the privilege

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,319
of being called by your name, and thank you for

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,719
taking us back to the beginning. Help us to remember

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,199
our first love, Help us to remember how you gave

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,960
us your power to overcome evil. In Jesus' name, I pray,

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,479
Amen and Amen again. The lesson writer takes us right

44
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,919
back to the Bible Book of John, chapter one and

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240
verse twenty nine. I'll read it and then ask you

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,960
a very important question. And the Bible reads the next day,

47
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:51,280
John saw Jesus coming toward him. We're talking about John

48
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:56,039
the Baptist, and he said, behold the Lamb of God,

49
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:00,400
which taketh away the sins of the world. I won't

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680
give you a whole long story about that, but this

51
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,360
was in fulfillment of a Bible prophecy in the Book

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,759
of Daniel that is nestled in the seventy weeks of

53
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:15,879
Years prophecy. And Messiah the Prince, the anointed One is

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,360
now appearing on the scene publicly. He's about he is

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,560
thirty years of age. I corrected myself, he's thirty years

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,479
of age. That's very important, exactly thirty years of age.

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,879
And John is saying, this is the one that God,

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840
our father taught me about, that would appear in this

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,599
certain way. I would be the forerunner of I would

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,400
baptize him. And the rest, as they say, is history.

61
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680
But the big question with which we need to contend

62
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:56,240
is why why do we need the lamb of God?

63
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,159
Because John made a great big deal of it. He's

64
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,000
in the middle of doing what he was called to do.

65
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,879
He's the baptizer. It might have been. It may have

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,400
it may very well have been his surname, like John,

67
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:14,199
his surname baptizer. You understand the baptist. This is how

68
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,079
critical it was, Like he's the one whose voice is crying.

69
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,199
He's crying in the wilderness. Make straight the paths to

70
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,240
welcome in the Messiah who was to come, And now

71
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120
he's here. Why do we need in twenty twenty five

72
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,240
the lamb of God. And of course we go back

73
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,079
to the Bible Book of Genesis, and I'm going to

74
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,360
make a lot of really interesting parallels in a moment.

75
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,759
But in the Bible Book of Genesis, we see where

76
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:45,600
Adam really sold us down the river. And somebody might say,

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120
all but Eve eight of the fruit, she was talking

78
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560
to the serpent, who really was the devil? I get it.

79
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,279
But Adam was created first. And the Bible says as

80
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:59,279
by one man, sin entered into the world and death

81
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,959
by sin, and the Bible continues about salvation through Christ.

82
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:08,560
But Adam is the one responsible. He is the representative

83
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,279
of the human race. He was the leader. Gentlemen, are

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,639
you listening, are you married? You are the leader in

85
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,399
the sense of responsibility. God is looking at you in

86
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,560
a unique and special way, just like he was looking

87
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,279
at Adam. And when God came to the pair the

88
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,360
Holy couple, he came and said, Adam, where are you?

89
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279
And we need to hear for that from that voice today, Adam,

90
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120
where are you? Are you hiding in the bushes today? Adam?

91
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,480
Or are you standing? Are you standing ten toes down,

92
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,120
responsible and holy at the head of your families? I

93
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,240
wish I had the time, but that's not the context

94
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,879
of our study today. And so the lesson writers said

95
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:58,199
at the end of the first paragraph. Nearly every key

96
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,199
concept mentioned in Revelation appears in some form in the

97
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,040
opening chapters of the Bible. And I'll just call that

98
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,879
the Book of Genesis. And so I'm going to go

99
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:13,680
through a list of them. I have thirty written down.

100
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,639
I have thirty written down, but I'll just share a few.

101
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,600
In Genesis, chapter two and verse nine, the Bible reads

102
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:23,480
the tree of life also is in the midst of

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,079
the gardens. So we're talking about the tree of life

104
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:30,439
Revelation chapter two and verse seven to him that overcometh

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,959
will I give to eat of the tree of life,

106
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,319
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

107
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,800
And so God is not only going to restore us,

108
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,639
but he is going to put us into a position

109
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
because we will have made our final decision by the

110
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,519
time we are righteous, righteous and stay righteous. The Bible

111
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,079
talks about that in the Book of Revelation. So that

112
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,920
now when we reach forth our hand and take from

113
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,600
the tree of life, we'll be able to do that

114
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,680
from I mean fourn in the future. Okay. And then,

115
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,600
of course there is this serpent, or we could see

116
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,240
him as the dragon in the New Testament, okay. In

117
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,079
Genesis chapter three and verse one, the Bible says, now

118
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480
the serpent, that's the devil, was more subtle than any

119
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120
beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

120
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,399
In Revelation chapter twelve and verse nine, that same beast,

121
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:24,439
that same evil serpent, which is really the devil and

122
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,240
the great dragon, was cast out, that old serpent called

123
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:33,360
the devil, when he was kicked out of heaven number

124
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:37,120
three Creation and then New Creation Genesis one and verse one.

125
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,319
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

126
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,519
In Revelation chapter twenty one and verse one, the Bible says,

127
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,399
and I saw a new heaven and a new earth.

128
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,959
Of course, there is marriage. There's marriage. Don't don't go

129
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,199
too far, don't go too fast. I know exactly what

130
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,480
Jesus said in Matthew chapter twenty two, but the concept

131
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,079
the print. The Bible reads in Genesis chapter two, in

132
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,319
verse twenty four, therefore man shall leave his father and

133
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
mother and shall cleave to his wife. Now, Paul said,

134
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,439
I show you a mystery. Don't be confused about what

135
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,399
we're talking about. I'm speaking to you about Christ and

136
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,720
the Church. And so marriage is representative of our relationship

137
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:26,279
with God through Christ right and so in that Vein

138
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,040
and Revelation chapter nineteen and verse seven, the Bible reads,

139
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,080
let us be glad and rejoice, for the marriage of

140
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,000
the Lamb is come. And ultimately, when we look at

141
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:40,600
it all the way through to chapter twenty two, that

142
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,919
is God's people, ultimately after the judgment is complete, and

143
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:52,399
God's judgment and character are vindicated, and God's people are

144
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,480
sealed and fully holy after the judgment, and the Bible

145
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,919
is identifying God's people in the end in the Holy City,

146
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,159
and together they are the bride, the Lamb's wife. I know,

147
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,279
I said a lot because nineteen all the way through

148
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,320
the twenty two covers two very important principles. But I continue,

149
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,600
and then there is dominion that is lost and pardon

150
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:23,039
me restored. And God said in Genesis one, verse twenty six,

151
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,279
let them have dominion. And in Revelation chapter five and

152
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,159
verse ten, the Bible reads and has made us unto

153
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,159
our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign on

154
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,679
the earth. So much more I said I had thirty.

155
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:41,519
Can you imagine God is returning our minds to the

156
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,840
beginning so we can appreciate the end. Peace.

157
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

158
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

159
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

160
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
