I 52 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.960 didn't know how long I'd be doing the show on 53 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.919 COLT Conspiracy, and then all of a sudden they hit 54 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.319 me up like hey, let's do a Wednesday show, and 55 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.080 I'm like, wow, So it seems like you guys are 56 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.400 you know, it seems like you guys are definitely reacting 57 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.319 to the show, and and it seems like a lot 58 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.800 of you are listening. So that's that's a blessing. I'm 59 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.800 really trying to do as much as I can to 60 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.560 bring the conspiracy crowd and audience like I've always tried 61 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.439 to do on Josh Monday Christening conspiracy to the Lord, 62 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.000 That's what the whole thing is. And I'm not trying 63 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.400 to bring him to Lord. I'm actually just trying to 64 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.280 plant seas and then God will bring you to him, 65 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.520 you know. So let's go ahead and go over some 66 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.159 intro to Mark, some things that I didn't even know 67 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:49.240 before before I before I dug into this. But his Mark, 68 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.479 his surname is actually Mark. Okay, so his name is 69 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.719 John Mark. Didn't know that Mark was twelve when Jesus 70 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.879 was alive. So a lot of theologians believe that the 71 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.159 Gospel of Mark actually came from a first Tann account 72 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.719 from Peter. Now do we have one hundred percent proof 73 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.159 of that. No, But you know, there's there's some people 74 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.039 that believe that, and some you know, smart people that 75 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.160 are smarter than me. Her Chuck Misser talk about this, 76 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.439 pastor Chuck Smith, and I've I've heard them saying that 77 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.399 a lot of theologians that they know actually believe this 78 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.759 because since Mark was only twelve when Jesus was alive, 79 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.000 Like I said, a lot of theologians to believe that 80 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.839 that Peter that he was writing down the gospel from Peter, 81 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.560 and yeah, and so we have that. And then also, 82 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.879 if you look in the book of Acts twelve versus 83 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.399 twelve through twenty, we're gonna read it really quick. Mark's 84 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.360 mom is Mary in this exact story. So let's check 85 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:56.120 that out. So Acts twelve versus twelve through twenty, and 86 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.600 I'm reading out of the king New King James. So 87 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.839 when he had considered this, he came to the house 88 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.079 and marry the mother of John, whose surname was Mark. 89 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.120 You see now, you see that whole connection there where 90 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.199 many were gathered together praying, And as Peter knocked at 91 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.480 the door to the gate, a girl named Ronda came 92 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.879 to answer when she recognized Peter's voice. Because of her gladness, 93 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.000 she did not open the gate, but ran in and 94 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.000 announced that Peter stood before the gate. But they said 95 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.360 to her, you were beside yourself. Yes, she kept insisting 96 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.199 that it's so, so they said it is an angel. 97 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.720 Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door 98 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.160 and saw him, they were astonished, but mentioning to them 99 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.040 with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them 100 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.800 that the Lord had brought him out of prison. So 101 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:50.040 you guys remember when the Angels got Peter out of prison. Well, 102 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.199 this whole scenario is actually at Mark's house and it 103 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.319 mentions Mary, which is Mark's mom. It also mentions John 104 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.240 was a surname who's surname was Mark. So this is 105 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.120 the same Mark that wrote the Gospel of Mark. So 106 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.839 that's what I want to let you guys know. I 107 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.800 thought that was fascinating. And he said to tell these 108 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.079 things to James and brethren, that he departed and he 109 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.240 went to another place. So I'm not going to continue 110 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.040 reading there. You guys get the gist of it. That story. 111 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.040 I didn't even know that. Maybe you guys did. I 112 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.279 I didn't know that when I when I read Acts, 113 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.879 you know, and and I just it just kind of 114 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.600 breezed through because of the John surname Mark part. But 115 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.920 now as I read, uh, as I kind of study 116 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.560 it a little deeper, I find out that that's actually 117 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.079 the Mark that that wrote that actually wrote. So uh, now, Mary, 118 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.639 she was, she was pretty wealthy. A lot of people, 119 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.879 a lot of them came to church at her house 120 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.040 for you know, when they when they met up, which 121 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.759 I thought was, you know, pretty fascinating. That's Mark's mother. 122 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.519 Mark's mom, Mark or Mary is his Mark's mom, and 123 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.079 her brother is Barnabas. Okay, Barnabas was the companion of 124 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.920 Paul who went on their first missionary journey. So let's 125 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.639 go ahead and check that out. Acts thirteen, verses two 126 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.480 through eight. As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, 127 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.720 the Holy Spirit said, now separate to me Barnabas and 128 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.199 Saul to speaking of Paul, for the work to which 129 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.399 I have called them. Then, having facetted and prayed and 130 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.000 laid hands on them, they sent them away. So, being 131 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:32.079 sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Silucia, 132 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.639 and from there they sailed to Cyprus, and when they 133 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.360 arrived in Salamis, they preached the Word of God and 134 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.680 the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as 135 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.879 their assistant. Okay, who is John Well? John Mark Marcus 136 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.800 his surname. They're talking about the same exact Mark Barnabas 137 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.600 is his nephew. Isn't that really awesome? So this is 138 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.079 this kind of stuff that I wanted to kind of 139 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:57.839 start with just to let you guys know kind of 140 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.000 a little background on Mark. It says, now I'm going 141 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.319 to continue reading. Now. When they had gone through the 142 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.920 island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, 143 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.000 a Jew whose name was bar Jesus Wow and who 144 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.519 was the prompt school Sergius Palaus. An intelligent man. This 145 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.560 man called for Barnabas and saw and sought to hear 146 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.279 the word of God, but allows the socier. I don't 147 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.120 really need to keep continue reading. The whole connection there 148 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.439 is that Barnabas and Mark went with Paul on his 149 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:35.519 first missionary journey. Now what happened is Mark went with them, 150 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.639 but he left them. It says Mark went with them 151 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.519 and left them. We don't know why he left. Ooh wayeah, 152 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.480 we have no idea why he left, but he left. 153 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.159 This is in Acts thirteen thirteen. Barnabas wanted John Mark 154 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.960 or Mark, the guy that wrote the Gospel of Mark, 155 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.639 to accompany them, while Paul was opposed because he had 156 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.759 deserted Paul and Barnabas on our earlier journey. So this 157 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.360 is Acts thirteen thirteen. It says that Barnabas wanted Mark 158 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.919 to accompany them, but Paul was opposed because he had 159 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.279 deserted Paul and Barnabas on the earlier journey. This led 160 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.320 to sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, causing them to 161 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.320 part ways. Paul and Silas traveling through Syria and Celicia, 162 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.919 and Barnabas and John Mark sailing for Cyprus. So it's 163 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.759 in Acts thirteen thirteen. I think I was kind of 164 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.919 reading you a little brief, a little brief thing of 165 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.879 what happened. I don't think that was actually Acts thirteen thirteen, 166 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.639 but I think that it shows up in Acts thirteen thirteen. 167 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.600 But so you see and then but later Paul and 168 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.639 Mark ended up in Rome together. Okay, So later Mark 169 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.840 later appears with Paul during his first arrest in Rome 170 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:52.919 in Colossians four to ten, and then Phileman Won twenty four. Interestingly, 171 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.440 Mark and Luke both wrote one of the Gospels, perhaps 172 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.559 during the same time period, in Rome two. Timothy four 173 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.039 to nine, nine through eighteen updates Timothy on Paul's ministry 174 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.039 partners as well as antagonists. Okay, so I just kind 175 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.879 of wanted to go over that with you because I 176 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.480 thought that was fascinating. Now you kind of see the 177 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.720 connection between Paul and Mark, and then you also see 178 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.240 the connection between Peter and Mark and Uh, it was 179 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.519 It's just it's really fascinating to me. And uh So 180 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:29.159 if you look at Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John Uh, 181 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:34.480 the the genealogies that are presented there is gonna be 182 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.639 Matthew is gonna be the Messiah Abraham. It's like the 183 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:44.200 legal uh genealogy. And Luke it's the son of man 184 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.639 from Adam. Uh it's like the all the way from Adam. 185 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:53.639 It's like the bloodline genealogy. And then in Uh, Mark 186 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.960 there's no genealogy, it's he's it's he's basically just kind 187 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.759 of describing Jesus and his servitude. Okay, so that's what 188 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.360 we're going to get into and uh and then what 189 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.159 did Jesus do? Like basically, in Matthew it's going to 190 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.159 be like what Jesus kind of said. In Mark, it's 191 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.879 going to be kind of what Jesus did, you know, 192 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.639 it's going to be a servitude. And then in Luke 193 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.039 it's like what Jesus felt. And then in John it's 194 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.559 like what Jesus was because in John, you know, you 195 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.720 find out he's the son of God and that he 196 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.519 is God, he was God, he was you know all 197 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.840 this all this stuff in John one one and you know, 198 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.480 some interesting stuff. And then uh, to the first miracle 199 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.440 the Jew from Matthew, it was it was kind of 200 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.639 to the Jew it was the leper cleansing. And then 201 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.080 when you look at Mark, the first one was to 202 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.000 a Roman a demon expelled, and then on Luke it's 203 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.320 to the Greek it's a demon expelled. And then to 204 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.000 John it's kind of to the church water to wine, okay, 205 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.919 and then it ends with the resurrection in Matthew. In 206 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.279 Mark it ends with the ascension. In Luke it ends 207 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.000 with the promise of spirit, and John it ends with 208 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.679 the promise of return. I kind of wanted to go 209 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.519 over that just so you guys kind of get a 210 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.320 little rundown, and just wanted to give you kind of 211 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:15.240 a kind of a brief introduction before we start the 212 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.480 Gospel of Mark. And then I kind of was kind 213 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.679 of going over some stuff that Chuck Messer had wrote 214 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:29.799 and one of his in one of his episodes, he 215 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:34.399 was kind of comparing Leviticus to John, Luke, Matthew, and Mark. 216 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:40.039 So with John s Leviticus one through seven, John, the 217 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.960 death of our Lord was the burnt offering glorifying the 218 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.559 Father in the scene where he had done so dishonored 219 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.080 by sin Luke as the peace offering that man may 220 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.399 have with fellowship with the Father. And Matthew, whose theme 221 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.840 is the government of God, identifies the work of the 222 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.720 Cross with the trespass offering, where the could say, as 223 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.200 in Psalms sixty nine, then I restored, which I took 224 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.480 not away, And then Mark is the sin offering is 225 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.840 before Christ dying, not only for the truspass committed, but 226 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.679 because we are sinners by nature, which our practice makes evident. Okay. 227 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.399 So that's something that he was kind of connecting there, 228 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.120 which I thought was pretty fascinating. Because we are going 229 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.360 over the Book of Leviticus on Sunday service, right, so 230 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.440 that is kind of like a little brief brief background. 231 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.399 And the Book of Mark starts out in the beginning 232 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.240 of Jesus' ministry. It doesn't start with when Jesus was born. 233 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.360 So I thought that was fascinating. So let's go ahead 234 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:50.600 and jump to the Bible and start reading. All right, 235 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.159 So we're at Mark one, and this is going to 236 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.360 be Mark one to one. We are starting the Book 237 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.399 of Mark, or the Gospel of Mark. What a blessing. 238 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.480 So we have Mark one one, the beginning of the 239 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.639 Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as it 240 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.159 is written in the Prophets. Behold, I send my messenger 241 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.919 before your face, who will prepare your way before you 242 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.639 the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the 243 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.840 way of the Lord, make his past straight. And so 244 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.840 it starts out. I wonder if I have this in 245 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:44.039 my notes. Let me see no, Ma two, Okay, I 246 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.879 think it's uh, let me find out where it's at. 247 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.440 I know one of them is in the Book of Isaiah. 248 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.399 Let me check the other one. And I think I 249 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.240 told you guys this last time because I think it 250 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.399 was actually in the book in a Gospel of Matthew. 251 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:06.279 So be old messenger before your face. 252 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.879 Is Malachi three to one, and it's also in Matthew 253 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.080 eleven ten, and it's also in Mark one two. And 254 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.240 then the other one is Isaiah fifty seven fourteen. Just 255 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.840 so you guys, if you guys want to go back 256 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.120 to those and you want to check those out and 257 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.679 read them, that's what that that's what those two are. Okay. 258 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.559 Let me just let me just make sure that that 259 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.240 other one is the Isaiah fifty seven verse Okay, I 260 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.240 don't want to point you to somewhere that is wrong. 261 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.039 It kind of popped up on my phone really quick. 262 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.480 Well I was looking it up, but I just want 263 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.000 to make sure the voice crying in the wilderness. Excuse me, 264 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.159 I don't mean the phrase appears in the Book of 265 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:54.159 Isaiah forty three. Sorry forty verse three, chapter forty verse 266 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.039 three Isaiah. Okay, sorry about that. See, that's why I 267 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:01.159 had to look it up and make sure. So there 268 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.320 you go, and let me check this off for a 269 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.759 quick couple you guys can I don't know if you 270 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.639 guys can see that. Now we are on Matthew or Mark. See, 271 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:12.600 I'm gonna do that because we just got done reading 272 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.559 the Book of Matthew. So Mark chapter one, verse four. 273 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.120 Now John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a 274 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.200 baptism of repentance for the remissions of sin. They're all 275 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.559 the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem went out 276 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.720 to him and were all baptized by him in the 277 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.240 Jordan River, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with 278 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.000 camel hair with a leather belt around his waist. And 279 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.039 he ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached saying, 280 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.360 there comes one after me who is mightier than I, 281 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:47.240 whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down 282 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.080 and loose. I indeed baptize you with water, but he 283 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.279 will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. Of course, he's 284 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.159 referring to Jesus, right, So we're starting at the gospel 285 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.039 of Jesus, right, So what is going on? Where are 286 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.240 we starting? We're starting when he gets baptized, right, So 287 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.000 that's what's interesting. And you see John here already having 288 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.440 the utmost respect for Jesus. I indeed baptize you with water, 289 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.920 but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. So 290 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.599 that's a lot more powerful, right, And we're gonna look 291 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.000 at when John baptizes Jesus here Mark one, verse nine. 292 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.720 It came to pass in those days that Jesus came 293 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.640 from Nazareth to Galilee and was baptized by John and 294 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.519 the Jordan And immediately coming up from the water, he 295 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.519 saw the heaven's parting and the spirit descending upon him 296 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.200 like a dove. And then a voice came from heaven. 297 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.240 You are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. 298 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.559 So if you are a Trinitarian like I am, then 299 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:56.599 this is what I'm seeing here, the heaven's parting and 300 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.720 the Spirit descending upon him like a dove. So you 301 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:05.319 got Jesus in the water and then him coming out 302 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.720 of the water. Then you have the Holy Spirit descending 303 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.359 on him like a dove. So you have two and 304 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.640 then you have the third one, which is the fuck, 305 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.359 God the Father speaking from heaven. You are my beloved son, 306 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.079 and whom I am well please. Interesting thing is God 307 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.079 the Father sends his Holy Spirit down, So now you 308 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:29.119 have three different bodies, three different bodies or three different 309 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.160 places that these things are at one time. So this 310 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.119 is very interesting. If you're not a Trinitarian, then you 311 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.000 could just take it however you take it. I'm not 312 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.680 trying to push anything on any of you, guys, but 313 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.599 this is how I see it. Because Jesus is down 314 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:49.359 here on earth, God the Father parts Heaven, opens heaven 315 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.640 lets his Holy Spirit descend upon him like a dove. 316 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.319 So now you have the Holy Spirit coming down, you 317 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:57.680 have Jesus on the earth, and you have God the 318 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.200 Father in heaven on the throne of the firmament. Personally, 319 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.519 that's what I believe. Yeah, he is about the fermad 320 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.200 that's what the Bible says. And Ezekiel one twenty six, 321 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.519 Ezekiel ten to one. So this is what I'm seeing here. 322 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.119 And then it jumps right in to Satan tempting Jesus. 323 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.400 So it says immediately this spirit drove him into the wilderness, 324 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.079 and he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted 325 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.640 by Satan and was with the wild beasts and the 326 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.279 angels ministered to him. Now you're missing a whole section 327 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.200 right here of detail that you get in the Book 328 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:36.599 of Matthew, where Jesus is tempted, right, So let's go 329 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.200 ahead and check that out so that we don't just 330 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.480 now if you guys are just joining me it's tempted. 331 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.079 I want to make sure that you know, you guys 332 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.359 could be new. Somebody out there could be new and 333 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.759 not not. Maybe I didn't go over this part for them, 334 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.400 so we do have to do this. So Matthew four 335 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.200 verses one through eleven, we're gonna read that really quick, 336 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.039 just to review so you guys understand what's going on here, 337 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.480 because Mark it doesn't go so much into detail like 338 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.960 Matthew does. And I want to make sure that you 339 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.200 guys understand what's happening here. Matthew four, Jesus is tested 340 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:26.799 in the wilderness. Then Jesus was led by the spirit, 341 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:28.599 and oh you know what that was in the NIV. 342 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.640 I want to make sure I'm doing the new King James. 343 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.960 I don't want a two water down, all right. Then 344 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:43.400 Jesus led. Then Jesus was led up by the spirit 345 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.000 into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. First 346 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.279 of all, I think that's interesting that even says here 347 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.920 immediately the spirit drove him into the wilderness. So Jesus 348 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.799 is at his He's fasting first of all, forty days, right, 349 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.039 so he is he is already at his wits end. 350 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.680 He is probably super exhausted, He is probably super tired. 351 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.799 He is probably at his very limit of what his 352 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.519 body could take, you know. So, and when he had 353 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.640 fasted forty days and forty nights afterward, he was hungry. 354 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.359 I'm back to Matthew four or verse three. 355 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:21.640 Now. 356 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.720 Now, when the tempter came to him, he said, if 357 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.519 you are the son of God, command that these stones 358 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:30.839 become bred. Do you see how he's trying to tempt 359 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:37.559 him there and what happens. Jesus doesn't respond with, hey, Satan, 360 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.200 you're a jerk. I can't stand you, and pulls out 361 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.200 a gun. No, what does he do? The weapon that 362 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:47.359 Jesus uses is the word of God. But he answered 363 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.480 and said, it is written, man shall not live by 364 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.640 bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the 365 00:21:54.680 --> 00:22:00.680 mouth of God. That's his offense. The sword, right, which 366 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.960 is like, it's the devil ed sword he uses, all right, 367 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.240 understand that. So Jesus is giving us a lesson here 368 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:13.119 on how to handle the devil. First of all, if 369 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:18.359 you resist the devil, he will flee. But he's not 370 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:24.240 only resisting the devil, he is reciting scripture to the devil, 371 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:29.240 and that he's using that offensive weapon. Obviously, Jesus already 372 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.680 has a shield of faith right now. He doesn't need 373 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:35.160 to build his shield of faith because he knows one 374 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:39.079 million percent that his you know, God, the Father is 375 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:43.440 in heaven, so he doesn't need to build, you know, 376 00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.200 keep building this shield like we are trying to do. 377 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.079 Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. 378 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.200 Jesus knows the word of God because Jesus is the 379 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.960 word so you understand how much faith that he has 380 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.680 going into this battle. The devil doesn't have a chance 381 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.079 because Jesus is the word, right, So he is he 382 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:06.200 has everything that he needs. His arsenal is ready, and 383 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.160 he might be a little bit, you know, exhausted, you know, 384 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.920 but you know Jesus, he handles this perfect. Then the 385 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.240 devil took him up into the Holy city, set him 386 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.240 on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, 387 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.519 if you are the son of God, throw yourself down, 388 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.480 for it is written. Now the devil is like, oh, 389 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.720 you're gonna use scripture against me, Well, let me use 390 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.119 some scripture against you. He shall give his angels charge 391 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.559 over you, and their hands they shall bury you up 392 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.799 lest you dash your foot against a stone. Jesus said 393 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.319 to him, it is written you shall not tempt the 394 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:54.519 Lord your God. So one thing we should learn here 395 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.680 is hold on. He shall give his angels charm over you. 396 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:10.440 Let me find out what he shall. I want to 397 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:19.480 see if okay, he is actually quoting Psalms ninety one 398 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.920 eleven through six. Okay, that is what the devil is 399 00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:30.559 quoting there to Jesus, who is the word. That's pretty interesting. 400 00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:36.119 And the devil says this to him, and then Jesus 401 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.920
