When 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.920 He divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's according 5 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.399 to the number of the sons of God. 6 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280 In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites 7 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239 lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of 8 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.199 God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children 9 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.119 who became the heroes and famous warriors. 10 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:33.600 Of ancient tides. 11 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.840 Take no part in the fruitless steeds of darkness, but 12 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.759 yet expose that though a. 13 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.079 Thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying 14 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:43.560 around you. 15 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.359 These ears will not touching. 16 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:49.799 Lives of garden man. 17 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.880 You gotta dig it. 18 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.679 Hell, old fellow treasure hunters, Welcome to the excavation side. 19 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.240 I'must in alongside and when we got Ben Steve even 20 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.560 in Chad will be your guides on this excursion.

You guys got anything 23 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.040 that you think is a spiritual warfare lens or significant 24 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.079 or something that may be that I think being told 25 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.040 or looked over well. 26 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.159 Well, things that we have to look at. The how 27 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.480 old was he? How many miracles he performed? I think 28 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.359 there's some symbolism in those numbers as well. 29 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.200 No, without a shadow of adel, what are you thirty 30 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.359 three years already performed thirty three miracles. Definitely a lot 31 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.760 of symbolism right there, especially when you talk about the occult. 32 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.519 We'll get there in a lay in the mountain that 33 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.840 he transcended on with the Marias prim Marinia location. 34 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.359 What was that? 35 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.719 Well in three point three. 36 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.120 Yes, when the angels descended on the earth from Genesis 37 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.120 six and born the daughters of men, the exact location 38 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.719 of where they landed was thirty three by thirty threes 39 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.799 degrees north of the Paris Prime Meridian, by thirty three 40 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.840 by thirty threes degrees east of the Paris Prime Meridian, 41 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.840 which was later changed from the Prime Meridian and the 42 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.840 name of it was changed to the Devil's Line. So 43 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.599 you can't make this stuff up, man. So and then 44 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.400 there's your occult right there, thirty three So definitely another 45 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.000 episode to be told right there, and I can't wait. 46 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.159 Till we get there. Let's talk about the light a 47 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.680 little bit. Oh yeah, which. 48 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.360 One thing I found. I seriously just found this this 49 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.719 weekend because where I got the logo's Bible software, I 50 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.199 look up you know, the Hebrew, you know, and the Greek, 51 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.800 the root you know, meanings and all this kind of stuff. 52 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.319 Yeah, you have to do that. 53 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.120 And what's cool is you know it said, you know 54 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.879 that Jesus, you know, was a carpenter. You know, well 55 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.960 when I did like a word search on the word carpenter, 56 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.439 which in Greek is the word tecton and Hebrew which shiresh. 57 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.520 You know, typically this means carpenter, but this same word 58 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:17.520 is used throughout the Bible to describe craftsmen, you know, stonemasons, artificers, 59 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.400 you know, engravers, just basically craftsmen in general. So you know, 60 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.879 we can't just put him into one lane. He's only 61 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.439 worked with wood. Yeah, you know, a tecton was was 62 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.199 a craftsman. And also what's you know I think kind 63 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.680 of funny was Noah? Noah was a master craftsman too, 64 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.159 wasn't he? 65 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.319 You know, you'd have to be to build a boat 66 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:40.800 that big. 67 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.639 I mean in Mercer, you know, you know, in Murcery, 68 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.680 in the letters to a Rata, you know, seek out 69 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.240 his wisdom and helped to try and get him to 70 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.479 help build the Tower Bible. 71 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:50.919 Did he not? 72 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.479 That is correct? 73 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.039 And God built the universe. I mean, he is the 74 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.120 ultimate craftsman. 75 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:01.439 The ultimate craftsmen. 76 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.759 I think a lot of men on earth try to 77 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.560 become that, uh, that craftsman. 78 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.960 And once again there's the occult. 79 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.759 Right there, the uh the architect of the universe. They 80 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.159 tried to portray that themselves, but we know what the 81 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.920 Most High is and don't get no better than that. 82 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.759 Well, one thing with the life I mentioned earlier was 83 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.120 that that book, you know, reading Moses and Jesus, how 84 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.360 they were trying to uh compare Jesus to Moses and 85 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.879 show the Jewish people that he was the Messiah and 86 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.519 better than Moses in every way. And that was something 87 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.199 that I always overlooked and until I read that book 88 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.120 and got a new set of eyes to actually see 89 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.279 it when I read it. But when you when you 90 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.560 put the two side by side, it's very uncanny. You know, 91 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.160 like some examples, you know, uh, a king ordered the 92 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.120 death of the the Jewish children. You know, Moses, he 93 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.720 was in Egypt and they and the king ordered the 94 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.360 death of the Jewish boys. So he was put in 95 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.959 a basket and floated down the Nile. 96 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:14.240 Right. 97 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.480 He basically went into the heart of Egypt to be saved, right, 98 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.519 or you know, to be protected. That's funny, exactly. So, yeah, 99 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.480 when you read Herod wanted the first born Jewish children murders, 100 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.639 so they fled to Egypt. Egypt, So they're the same. 101 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.000 So another example, you know, yeah, we already mentioned that 102 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.399 they fled to Egypt. So the next one, both of 103 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.199 them went through the water. You know, Moses led his 104 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.360 people through the Red Sea, went through the water, and 105 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.759 you know, water, like we've talked about in other episodes, 106 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.959 you know, represents chaos. It's symbolic for chaos. So Moses 107 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.120 parted the chaos and went through it to a new creation, 108 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.399 something new. You know. Noah went through the flood, through 109 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.399 the waters, something new, a new start, a new creation. 110 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:12.360 Jesus met John the Baptist, he was baptized, he went 111 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.000 through the water. Well what was the something new that 112 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:15.800 started there? 113 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:17.240 The Holy Spirit? 114 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.079 Yes, the start of God's kingdom coming to earth and 115 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.160 his ministry. Okay, so what happened after Moses went through 116 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.639 the sea. He wanted the wilderness. Right for forty years, 117 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.519 he was tested, and he failed repeatedly, him and his people. 118 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.240 Where did Jesus go right after he was baptized. 119 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.000 The wilderness for how long? 120 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.560 Forty days? Yeah, that's amazing. 121 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.399 Now was he tempted? Was Jesus tempted? 122 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:46.600 Oh? 123 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:47.920 Yeah, time and time again? 124 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:48.560 Did he fail? 125 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:49.920 Now he overcame. 126 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.439 He succeeded where Moses fell. 127 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.160 He fulfilled the law. 128 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.759 That's right, overcame. 129 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.959 So you know what I mean when you see these 130 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.079 similarities side by side, you know, it's like whoa uh. 131 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.839 And also another one uh. When the people were dying 132 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.959 in the wilderness with Moses, what did he do to 133 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:19.959 save the people? Y'all remember that story which time he 134 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.600 put a serpent on a on a on a pole 135 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.720 and raised it up and said, all who look and 136 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.199 believe shall be saved. Wouldn't Jesus raised up on a 137 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:42.439 tree and all who looked were saved, but saved really. 138 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:43.480 Right, not on this cardinal state, but in the existential 139 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.920 realm mm hmm. 140 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.839 And then the final act that they compared the two 141 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.920 together was Moses he freed his people from Egypt. Right, 142 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.319 he was a savior of his people. And this is 143 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.519 the one thing a lot of the Jewish people don't 144 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.199 think that Jesus qualifies as the Messiah because he didn't 145 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.680 free them from the Romans. No, they were looking carnally. 146 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.360 You know, Jesus freed them from the grasp of death 147 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.079 and sin. Yes, he give them the ultimate freedom, but 148 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.439 they were too carnal to see it. I mean that's 149 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.560 just oh yeah, absolutely, But that's definitely a book I 150 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.279 recommend you guys to check out. I can't remember the author, 151 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.759 but if you'll google it or search it up on Amazon, 152 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.120 you'll find it. And it's a very short book. It's 153 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.200 like maybe the size of two comic books put together, 154 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.919 so it don't take you long to get through it. 155 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:40.519 And I just hit the high points. 156 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.200 So now the death, I know, we got plenty on that, 157 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.519 the whole spiritual lens of the death and resurrection of Christ. 158 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.120 Oh yeah, the. 159 00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.679 Going down to Tartarus right descending declaring victory over the angels. 160 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:03.559 So we could go into what do you go? 161 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.919 Where's that at? Where I got it written down here 162 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.799 in my note somewhere, But where is it like that? Ain't? 163 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.320 I think you look at that too when we talk 164 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.440 about you know, the last really, when you look at 165 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.399 the Gospel let's talking about the last three years of 166 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.559 jesus life when he was actually doing his so service, 167 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.919 you know, uh, prophesying or preaching to the nature to 168 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:32.399 that area for about the last three years. But when 169 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.159 you look at that and you go through all that, 170 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.320 I really had a good direction. I was going here, 171 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.080 and now you totally distracted me through. 172 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:38.720 I was just. 173 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:47.120 But oh man, now you're killing you. Suck the air 174 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:54.000 out of the room. Buddy, I'm gonna pull it out. 175 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.519 Go ahead, go ahead, I'll pull it out here in 176 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:56.759 a minute. It's gonna come back to me. 177 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.080 You know. 178 00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:59.600 I started off with, you know, with prophecy of the 179 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.679 coming Siah and all that. So with prophecy, it even 180 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.480 prophesied the death of Christ and the Old Testament, you know, 181 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.480 Psalm sixteen, that wilt not leave my soul in hell? 182 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.440 You know, she old, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy 183 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.320 One to see corruption. You know, that was a prophecy 184 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.639 of the dying Messiah, because you know, he didn't abandon 185 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.360 his soul. She old. You know, he was resurrected after 186 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.080 three days. 187 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.240 I guess part of what I was trying to say 188 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.600 really was that through that whole time, you know, the 189 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.879 last three years, he's sitting there and the disciples are 190 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.799 with them every day, you know what I mean, they're 191 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.000 with them all the time. They're with them everywhere, and 192 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.519 he's on top of preaching to countless thousands of other people, 193 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.559 sometimes all at once, but thousands of other people that 194 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.039 they heard everything he was saying, They heard the message 195 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.279 he was saying. He was telling him exactly what was 196 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.200 going to happen, and even when it did happen, they 197 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.360 didn't comprehend it at that time. They still couldn't understand. 198 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.679 They were still waiting for them to waiting for Jesus 199 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.320 to free them from the Romans. Really they were right, 200 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.879 I mean even to that point. So when you're working 201 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:17.279 through those last three years, it's just he gave them 202 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.679 all the keys, and people who were around, actually physically 203 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.159 around Jesus still struggled to figure it out. I mean, 204 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.320 I think that's pretty amazing when you really think about it, 205 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.039 that you know, we're given the word here, but they 206 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.759 were getting that firsthand. 207 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.840 But Psalm twenty two, you know, this was a total 208 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.720 spiritual warfare side of the cross that I think a 209 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.919 lot of us overlook. You know, when you read Psalms 210 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:49.240 twenty two. It says, here, says, my God, My God, 211 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.919 why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far 212 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.960 from saving me from the words of my groaning? Oh? 213 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.480 My God? 214 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.200 I cry by day but you do not answer, And 215 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.600 by night but I find no rest. You know, a 216 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.320 lot of that. I mean, that sounds like the cross. 217 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.519 You know, he was even on the cross, he said, Father, 218 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.559 why have you forsaken me? It says, Yet you are 219 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.639 wholly enthroned to the praises of Israel. 220 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:18.360 In you. 221 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.679 Our fathers trusted, they trusted, and you delivered them to you. 222 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.159 They cried and. 223 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.759 Were rescued In you, they trusted and were not put 224 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.320 to shame. But I am a worm and not a man, 225 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.679 scorned by mankind and despised by the people. Now, have you, 226 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.399 guys ever heard the story of Jesus compared himself to 227 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:49.919 the worm and the scarlet worm. No, no, I always 228 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.559 thought this was pretty amazing. You know, Jesus compared himself 229 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.279 to a worm. You know, why did he do that? 230 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.960 You know he's referring to the scarlet slash. You know, 231 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.120 crimson worm from the Middle East. It was a red, 232 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.320 jelly filled worm that they would crush and bleed out 233 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.320 to make paint and ink for clothing and such. You know, 234 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.559 interesting fact about the worm is that that it would 235 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.159 climb a tree, you know, across you know, refer to 236 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.200 a tree, and gave birth to its young, which you know, symbolically, 237 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.240 you know, could represent us. God's people say, Then this 238 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.919 worm would cut itself open on the tree bark above 239 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:27.159 its young. Its crimsons insides would run down the tree 240 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.720 and cover its young. The mother worm would die to 241 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.840 save her young. The young would feed off of the mother, 242 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.360 so in her death, her young would live, so the 243 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.480 children were covered and protected by her blood. 244 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:41.720 Wow. 245 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.480 So when Jesus compared himself to the worm, he was 246 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.720 talking about the worm that's indigenous to his region that 247 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:48.480 they knew about. 248 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.600 His blood will cover us, protect us, and give its life. 249 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.759 Wow. Never heard of that. 250 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.039 I have not heard that before. 251 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.200 That's all. It's pretty cool. 252 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.000 Yeah, uh, But it goes on the verse seven and 253 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.840 twenty two says, all those who see me mock me, 254 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.080 They make mouths at me, they wag their heads. He 255 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.080 trusts in the Lord. Let him deliver him, let him 256 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.919 rescue him, for he delights in him. You know, when 257 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.480 he's on the cross. You know, where's your God? Tell 258 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.879 them to come save you. You know they taunted him. 259 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.320 Yet you are he who took me from the womb. 260 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.600 You made me trust you at my mother's breast. On you, 261 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.279 I was cast from my birth and from my mother's womb. 262 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.279 You have been my God. Be not far from me, 263 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.440 for trouble is near and there is none to help me. 264 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.759 And this is one of the ones. I think this 265 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.519 is really cool, says many. 266 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.559 Bulls encompass me. 267 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.240 Strong bulls of the shon surround me. 268 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.840 They opened wide their mouths at me, like raving and 269 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.960 roaring lions. You know they used that same phrase to 270 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.360 talk about Satan, a roaring lion. You know. I am 271 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.399 poured out like water. All of my bones are out 272 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.720 of joint. My heart is like wax, It is melted 273 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.919 within my breast. My strength is dried up like a potshard, 274 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.159 and my tongue sticks to my jaws. You lay me 275 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.600 in the dust of death, for the dogs encompass me. 276 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.480 A company of evildoers and circles me. They have pierced 277 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.639 my hands in my feet. I can count all my bones. 278 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.840 They stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments 279 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.519 amongst them, and for my clothing. 280 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:23.759 They cast lots. 281 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.720 You know, every bit of this is the Cross, I mean, 282 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.360 and it's it's totally from a supernatural worldview. 283 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:32.480 You know. 284 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.639 You know the bulls, you know, were worshiped throughout the world. 285 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.720 You know, their horns shown their you know, their authority. 286 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.799 And the area of DeShawn was known for its darkness. 287 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.639 It was even regarded as the land of Ephraim, the 288 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.840 ref Iem. I'm sorry the giants. You know, this is 289 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.720 where Mount Hermon is located. They were where the fallen 290 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.679 angels fell. It was known as the gateway to the underworld. 291 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.639 We are seeing the Cross from a supernatural of you here. 292 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.519 I'm sure Satan, the Roaring Lion and all of his 293 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.600 fallen angels and demons were gathered around the cross, mocking 294 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.320 and laughing, thinking that they had won. 295 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.159 Well you think, I mean, I guarantee you they were. Well. 296 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.240 But you go back and if you look throughout there's 297 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.080 I kind of think from the beginning of time. You know, 298 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.519 they're always trying to find a way. Is there a 299 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.039 way we can get rid of Jesus? This is the 300 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.360 way that we can that kill you know, that potential 301 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.519 for their salvation. You know, if we go all the 302 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.200 way through and you think about the whole point was 303 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.480 to to to corrupt God's creation, right, and then but 304 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:42.120 when we get through Jesus and you look at the 305 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.200 temptation of Jesus and you thought, oh, he's gonna say 306 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.440 throw yourself down. You know your angels will protect you. 307 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.720 It's always these things like trying to test and see, 308 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.080 you know, is is he immortal? Can we kill him? 309 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.120 Can we do this stuff? And finally he gets to 310 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.240 the cross. Finally they do get what they want and 311 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.320 they think they've won. That's the whole point. They think 312 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.320 they've won, when really that was God's plan the whole time. 313 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.960 And if if it's just crazy to me that you 314 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.319 think someone angelic, you know, Satan, who you know, can 315 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.200 sit there and think that he understands everything that's going on, 316 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.160 someone who is obviously way smarter than us, way smarter 317 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.920 than us, can sit there and see like, Okay, throughout 318 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.720 the Old Testament, we needed blood sacrifices and things of 319 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.640 this to be the atonement for everybody's sin. But they 320 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.359 had to do it every so often because the blood 321 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.720 of an animal is not the blood of Jesus obviously, right, 322 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.920 But we get to that point then in the when 323 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.240 the ultimate sacrifices needed to save us, and they still 324 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.559 couldn't see that connection. Satan couldn't see that connection. Jesus 325 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.759 died and they're like, got him done? 326 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.720 Was the parable of the good tenant? Yeah, you know, 327 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.000 you know we've talked about that in several shows. You know. Yeah, 328 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.119 they they killed the son of the land owner thinking 329 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.160 that would you know, run him off? You know, that 330 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.759 sealed their fate? You know, was it policy? And think 331 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.000 it was a Corinthians said if the rulers and the 332 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.480 principalities would have known, were they not, they would not 333 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:09.400 have killed you know, I can't remember the terminology the 334 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.240 son of God or the son of the Glory. 335 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.839 Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I think that's it's just it 336 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.480 blows me away when you think how God and it's 337 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.079 something that we all have to look at and all 338 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.519 have to see the you said it before, the great architect, 339 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.119 the great craftsmen. You look at how all that fit 340 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.839 in perfectly to get to where we are and to 341 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.839 give us you know, because at that point, the minute 342 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.519 Jesus died and he rose up, you know, three days later, 343 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.279 the ball was put in our court. Now it's up 344 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.880 to us after that point, I mean, God has given 345 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.400 us the tools. Now it's up to us to not 346 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.119 only dig into the Word like we've been doing, but 347 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:58.039 to continue to try to bring others to to you know, Jesus, 348 00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.160 to God. You know that they are around us. I mean, 349 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.799 He's given us all the tools. But we don't need 350 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.759 to go back and I don't need to sacrifice one 351 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.000 of your chickens, you know over there to cleanse my sins. 352 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.480 All you gotta do is ask God. Now he's given 353 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.119 us the keys. And that was the whole point. I 354 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.200 mean that if you look at the symbolism through the 355 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.759 whole Old Testament, blood sacrifices, all those things, it's so 356 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.519 much changed at that time. All of a sudden, Jesus 357 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.519 the ultimate sacrifice, and it changed the game. And I 358 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.839 mean that's obviously the cut and dry part that we 359 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.640 all know, we all hear, we all know that we 360 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.240 have to believe that, you know, for our salvation. But 361 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.039 if you look at all that that led up to that, 362 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.039 it's just amazing that the way that God put that 363 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.440 into place, and how perfect it was. 364 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.079 Well hindsight you know, hindsight's always twenty you know, and 365 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.920 if you look at the Old Testament too, I mean 366 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.559 God advertised this cryptically, you know, when we think you 367 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:54.079 know Satan, how did he not know? 368 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:54.440 You know? 369 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.559 I mean, well, we have the aftermath. We can look 370 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.119 back and piece things together. 371 00:19:59.279 --> 00:19:59.480 You know. 372 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.119 Isaiah fifty three three through six. You know by his 373 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.359 stripes we are healed. You know, Isaiah fifty three nine. 374 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.960 You know it said that he was between two thieves. 375 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.880 You know, Mark fifteen forty three through forty six, he 376 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.799 was buried in a rich man's tomb. And even Job, 377 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.440 a lot of people miss it was talking about Christ, 378 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.799 you know, Job chapter nineteen, verse twenty five and twenty six. 379 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.839 He says, for I know that my Redeemer lives, and 380 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.960 at the last he will stand upon the earth. And 381 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.119 after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh, 382 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.359 I shall see God. 383 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:41.039 That's awesome. 384 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:43.960 He knew after I'm dead and gone. Yeah, my Redeemer 385 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.599 he's going to walk on earth and I'm gonna, you know, 386 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.880 be resurrected and be face to face with God. 387 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.480 Yeah. 388 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.680 It's kind of like, you know, you go back to 389 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.640 the Old Testament again. You need to ask permission for 390 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.960 the keys to the mopar. Now he's just giving you 391 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.839 the keys to the mopar, you know what I mean.

That's the crazy part, 394 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.880 when you're really think about that's crazy. 395 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.279 And if you read too, like you know where Abraham 396 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.759 had to sacrifice Isaac. Did you ever look at that 397 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.319 and be like, that's a foreshadowing of the cross And Jesus. 398 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.359 I just never thought of it that way. 399 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.839 Oh, go into it, because you know, I mean it 400 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.039 was his firstborn son, his only begotten son, Abraham's, and 401 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.400
