00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.919
<v Speaker 1>We should read our bibles as men dig. You for

00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>bury treasure, one of.

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>The most high game with the nations their inheritance. When

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>He divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's according

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 2>to the number of the sons of God.

6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient tides.

10
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Take no pardon the fruitless steeds of darkness, but yet

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>You gotta dig it.

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 4>Hell, old fellow treasure hunters, Welcome to the excavation side.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 4>you brought your shovel in your compass, because we got

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 4>the map. Hey, everybody, welcome back.

22
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 3>What's up?

23
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Guys? How you being?

24
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as good as I can be. I ain't better.

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I'd be sick of myself.

27
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 3>It's been a long week.

28
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>True story.

29
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 3>We've had a lot.

30
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Of octane fueled fun past few weeks. We me and

31
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>being half Steven got in on it this weekend too.

32
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, I don't know how many jeeps you can

33
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>see before you said you've seen all the jeeps.

34
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Hold on, let me turn around. We got some beautiful

35
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>I see two back here.

36
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they had a jeep fest in our hometown. About

37
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>three hundred jeeps lined up and lots of good, clean,

38
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>family fun, good food and ducks everywhere.

39
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. But unfortunately the man here with all the jeep,

40
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 3>the jeep man, I didn't even know anything about it.

41
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 1>You know it was you. I told you.

42
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Was at the Bristol Dragstrip. Oh yeah, my father's day.

43
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh go ahead, top fuel drag racing. Oh it was

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 3>good boys for the first time.

45
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>My favorite thing about the whole jeep show, though, was

46
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the hummer that said on the dashboard. Set on the

47
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>dashboard like a jeep, but for men.

48
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>I've ridden in plenty hummers. I'm pretty sure my jeep

49
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 3>go place is over.

50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Will go.

51
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

52
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>The week before last I went to a show called

53
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>a Mopar Meet in the mountains. It's all mopar show,

54
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>so there's a lot of jeeps and challengers. There's actually

55
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>like over three or four hundred cars, and like one

56
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty six or fifty eight was all challengers.

57
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of hard to stand out in that crowd.

58
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Didn't get no hardware from that one. But we did

59
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>some racing. Now, that was a lot of fun.

60
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you as to me about it.

61
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I found it.

62
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>In the parking lot. Oh yeah, parking lot racing with cones.

63
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they called it the what was it? I think

64
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>they call it solo racing or auto cross?

65
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 3>Auto cross?

66
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, my car ain't built for that, but

67
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>it's still fun getting sideways around the corners.

68
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, like I was saying, if you, you know, if

69
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>you're going in there to win at trophy or something

70
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 3>and you don't your little heart broke. If you're just

71
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 3>going there to have some fun, then who cares about

72
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 3>trophies or your time? Really?

73
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Just maybe the tires and gas.

74
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, these days you do have to put that.

75
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>In accounts, right, Well, I guess the subject matter this

76
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>week is the Mark of God and the Mark of

77
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the Beast six sixty six. A lot of stuff throughout

78
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the entire book, probably a lot of people look over.

79
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>We're hoping to maybe set off a few light bulbs

80
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>with you, get you digging. I guess we'll start off

81
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>with the prayer, Father, thank you for all the many

82
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>blessings we especially when say Happy Father's Day to you, Father,

83
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the Father of fathers. We just pray that you continue

84
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>to bless the podcast and grow our insights and perspectives

85
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 2>on your Word. And we pray that the people listening

86
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>dig into their Bibles and enjoy it, because we know

87
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>we sure enjoy it. If you know, if anything else

88
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 2>is sitting around going through your Word and bouncing ideas

89
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>off each other, it's a lot of fun. We get

90
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of enjoyment out of it. But we just

91
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>pray that this message goes through today smooth and you

92
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>reveal some things to us and hopefully get people digging

93
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>into their Bible and maybe figure out a couple of

94
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>new things on their perspectives to Father Jesus name Amen, Amen.

95
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>So mark, what I guess we could start with what

96
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>is a mark?

97
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, it depends because if you're talking about I mean

98
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a mark, you could say is just something that's put

99
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>on you, but a seal. And when we talk about

100
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a seal, and it talks about God's seal too. Was

101
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>always a kingly thing, right, that was always something that

102
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you knew when he put his seal on top of something.

103
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>When he put it on, it came from the king.

104
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It was a signet on his ring he put down

105
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in that wax. It was not to be open. It

106
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was from the king, and you knew that. So I

107
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>think that when you have the seal of God on you,

108
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows it's from It's from God.

109
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Other words, what we're saying is it's like you can't

110
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>be yes, oh, the king gave you this letter. Well,

111
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 3>where is the.

112
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Seal validation stamp?

113
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Exactly?

114
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 2>And what's cool too, is the word mark in our

115
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>English Bibles when you go to the Greek is charagma,

116
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 2>which means imperial seal for documents, money, coin, stuff like that.

117
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>So what a segue? I know, that was beautiful.

118
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And beautiful segue. So I guess since we've established, I

119
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>guess what a mark is. Where do we first see

120
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 2>a mark in our Bible? If you go to Genesis,

121
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 2>chapter four, verse fifteen. Now, this you know is right

122
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 2>after the incident with Kane and abel Kine is quote

123
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>unquote marked, it says. Then the Lord said to him,

124
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>not so if anyone kills Caine, vengeance shall be taken

125
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>on him sevenfold. And the Lord put a mark on

126
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Cain least any who found him should attack him. You know,

127
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>this is the last that we hear of Cain, other

128
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>than the lineage in genealogy. Some say that this mark,

129
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, cursed him to live forever. You guys ever

130
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 2>heard that or seen some of the Hollywood movies and

131
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that.

132
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's a wrestler, I mean.

133
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>But that I mean, I don't know if I really

134
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>sold on it or not. You know, the mark was

135
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>for nobody to kill Cain. You know, God doesn't want

136
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Cain to go before his time. You know, he wants

137
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>him to fully experience the pains of life, and I

138
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 2>guess quote unquote serve his time. You know, that's just

139
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>my opinion. You though, but maybe give him an opportunity

140
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 2>to change his heart, who knows, you know. But interestingly,

141
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>this is the first spiritual mark of the Bible. You know,

142
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>we know of two marks, God's mark and the Beast mark.

143
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's to say safe to say who's mark?

144
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>This is but one thing I find interesting. God's mark

145
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible was for protection in this case, you know,

146
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that's what this mark does. It protects kin from being murdered.

147
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, it doesn't prevent people from

148
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>murdering because you know, God plainly says for those that

149
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>do vengeance will follow a man sevenfold. So obviously it

150
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 2>could still be killed. But it's weird that the mark

151
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>that God gives is kind of you know, protecting Cain

152
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>seems like. But another time that we see this and

153
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm trying my best to keep it chronological,

154
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 2>but was in Exodus chapter thirteen three through sixteen. Now

155
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>this talks about the feast of uneleven bread. Now, Ben,

156
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 2>do you want to read along with us?

157
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Chapter thirteen, Yeah, verse three.

158
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>He's just got his logos and he's finally starting to

159
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>figure it out. It's his virgin tour here, Yeah, Maiden

160
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>voyage Exodus.

161
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right. Some Mode said to the people, this

162
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 3>is the day you remember forever, the day he left

163
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Egypt with the place of your slavery. Today the Lord

164
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 3>has brought you out of the power of his mighty hand. Remember,

165
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 3>eat no food containing yeast on this day in every

166
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 3>spring in the month of a Bib. I guess that's

167
00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 3>they said that a bib you will have been set free.

168
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 3>You must celebrate this event and this month each year.

169
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 3>After the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,

170
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 3>hed Hittites, Amrites, Hates, and jimpy sites. He swore to

171
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 3>your ancestors that he would give you this land and

172
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the land flowing with milk and honey. For seven days,

173
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 3>the bread you eat must be made without yeast. Then

174
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 3>you excuse me. Then on the seventh day, celebrate a

175
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 3>feast to the Lord. Eat bread. Hold, I'll eat bread

176
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.399
<v Speaker 3>without yeast during those seven days. In fact, there must

177
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 3>be no yeast in bread, or any yeast at all

178
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 3>found within the borders of your land during this time.

179
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 3>On the seventh on the seventh day, you must explain

180
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 3>to your children, I am celebrating what the Lord did

181
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 3>for me when I left Egypt. This annual festival will

182
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 3>be a visible sign to you, like a mark branded

183
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 3>on your hand or your forehead that sounds familiar. Let

184
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 3>it remember you always to recite these teachings for the

185
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Lord with a strong hand. The Lord rescued you from Egypt,

186
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 3>so observe the decree of the festival at the appointed

187
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 3>time each year. This is what you must do when

188
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 3>the Lord fulfills the promise he swore to you and

189
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 3>your ancestors when he gives When he gives you the

190
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 3>land there where the Canaanites now live, you must present

191
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 3>all firstborn sons and first born male animals to the Lord.

192
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 3>That's hard to be due. Present your firstborn.

193
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Sons, get your first fruits, yeah, to the Lord, for

194
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>they belonged to him.

195
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 3>The firstborn donkey may be brought back from the Lord

196
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 3>by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place,

197
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 3>but if you do not buy it back, you must

198
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 3>break its neck. However, Yeah, however, you must buy back

199
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 3>every firstborn son. Well, that's good. You thought this was

200
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 3>going darky, that that'd be kind of hard to do

201
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>because they got two boys. I don't think I give

202
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 3>up any of them.

203
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad.

204
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. In the future, your children will ask you what

205
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 3>does this mean? Then you will tell them with the

206
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 3>power of his mighty hand. The Lord bought us, brought

207
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 3>us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery. Pharaoh

208
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 3>stubbornly refused to let us go, so the Lord killed

209
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 3>all the first born males throughout the land of Egypt,

210
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 3>both people and animals. That is, you know, that is

211
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>why I now sacrifice all the first born males to

212
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 3>the Lord, except that the firstborn sons are always brought back.

213
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 3>This ceremonial, or this ceremony will be like a mark

214
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.440
<v Speaker 3>branded on your hand or your forehead. It is a

215
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 3>reminder that the power of the Lord, the Lord's mighty

216
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 3>hand brought us back out of Egypt. Okay, so we

217
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 3>saw some correlations here, so we break them down. One

218
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 3>thing I thought stood out. You know, it says.

219
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.039
<v Speaker 2>It's in verse one where it says, for by a

220
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>strong hand, the Lord brought you out of this place.

221
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, the strong hand, you know, the right hand.

222
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>You know when you read to your Bible talking about

223
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the strong hand, you know it was a right hand

224
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>dominant world, you know. So the right hand was the

225
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>strong hand, the hand of action, you know, the right

226
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>hand of the father, you know, and so on.

227
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 3>It's your sword hand.

228
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then you go down. You know a beb talk

229
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 2>about the month of a bebe. You know that's the

230
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>month of passover, but it's also the time of the

231
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>ears of barley harvest. And the green growing season. But

232
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 2>when you go down, you know, to verse nine, it says,

233
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and it shall be to you as a sign on

234
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that

235
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the law the Lord may be in your mouth, for

236
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.039
<v Speaker 2>with a strong hand there it is again the Lord

237
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>has brought you out of Egypt. So now we have

238
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the correlation with the It's the same as the mark

239
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of the beast, the right hand, the strong on hand,

240
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and the forehead right. You know, there's a lot of

241
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>symbolism here. You know, the sign on your hand, the

242
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>strong hand that you were delivered. You know, the right hand,

243
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the hand of action. Then between your eyes, you know

244
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 2>your frontal cortext. You know some people, you know new

245
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>agers call the third eye. You know that's where all

246
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 2>your decisions are made. You know, these signs are marked

247
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 2>where you make your decision, your mind, and where your

248
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>actions your hand comes from. This is God's mark that

249
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Revelation talks about. And the bottomless pit is opened. It

250
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 2>shows that six sixty six. You know Marcus Satan's but

251
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you know it's just an imitation or counter counterfeit mark.

252
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>That's what Satan does. It takes things God's created and

253
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 2>manipulates it, and.

254
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 3>He tries to make everyone believe he's God.

255
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Or to corrupt everything. Yeah, yeah, I mean his goal

256
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 1>is to corrupt everything God created.

257
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.279
<v Speaker 2>And then when you go down the verse fifteen, it says,

258
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 2>for when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the

259
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,

260
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>both firstborn man, firstborn animal. Therefore, that's wise sacrifice to

261
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the Lord, all the males that first opened the wound.

262
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>But the first born of my sons I redeem. It

263
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>shall be as a mark on your hand front, or

264
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 2>the fretles between your eyes, you know, by the strong

265
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 2>hand you was brought out of Egypt. You know, the

266
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Law was said to have been a tutor or guardian

267
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 2>until Christ came. You know, this was a foreshadowing of

268
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.799
<v Speaker 2>the Cross. The Law is now fulfilled, now no one void.

269
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 2>We no longer know, We no longer require sacrifices. You know,

270
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice,

271
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the lamb without spot or blemits, you know, he redeemed

272
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>us all.

273
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, back then, the perfect lamb.

274
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they had to sacrifice lambs to redeem their sons. Well, God,

275
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, came in the flesh Jesus Christ, and that's

276
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 2>how he redeemed us. And we're free from that now.

277
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>You know. Jesus, his blood covered and slash redeemed us.

278
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 2>You know the sting of the second death.

279
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Listen, if he hadn't done that, I'd be guarding my

280
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.799
<v Speaker 1>farm a lot. I'm coming for them goats before durned,

281
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>right now.

282
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 3>You know they ain't killing my boy, I tell you

283
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:06.440
<v Speaker 3>that much.

284
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>But you know this first one was was a carnal saving.

285
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, the second was a spiritual saving. You know,

286
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>just as you know Moses carnally saved Israel from Egypt,

287
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Jesus saved us spiritually from death and sin.

288
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 3>You think the ls use chickens instead of the goats.

289
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I got enough, Well, I got plenty of chickens.

290
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>You'll let those go before your kids, Huh.

291
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 3>I'll kill like.

292
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Twenty of them, But twenty one that's too much.

293
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean whatever I was just you know, I'll

294
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 3>kill them all. It'd be hard to kill little Brusie.

295
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:41.440
<v Speaker 4>See.

296
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Then again we go down to you know, the later book.

297
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>It's Deuteronomy, chapter six, verse one through fifteen. It says

298
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 2>this is the greatest commandment. It says, now, this is

299
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.919
<v Speaker 2>the commandment, the statutes, that the rules that the Lord

300
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>your God commanded me to teach you. That you may

301
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>do them in the land to which you are going

302
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>over to possess it. That you may fear the Lord

303
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>your God, you and your sons and your son's sons,

304
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 2>by keeping all the statutes and his commandments which I

305
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>commanded you, all the days of your life, and that

306
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>your days may be long. Here therefore, oh Israel, and

307
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>be careful to do them, that it may go well

308
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 2>with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the Lord,

309
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the God of your father's has promised you. And the

310
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 2>land flowing with milk and honey. Here o Israel, the Lord,

311
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.359
<v Speaker 2>our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the

312
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Lord your God with all your heart and with all

313
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 2>your soul, and with all your might. And these words

314
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>that I command you today shall be on your heart.

315
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 2>You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall

316
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 2>talk of them when you sit in your house, and

317
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 2>when you walk by the way, and when you lie down,

318
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.599
<v Speaker 2>and when you rise. You shall bind them as a

319
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.799
<v Speaker 2>sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets

320
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts

321
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of your house and on your gates, you know. So

322
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 2>it says, you know, this is the the greatest commandment.

323
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're to teach it to your children when

324
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you're sitting in the house, you're walking on the road

325
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>at night, when you put them down the bed. So

326
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously this was very important, you know.

327
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:30.119
<v Speaker 3>And they said that.

328
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 2>You bind it as a sign to your hands in

329
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>your forehead, you know, once again, going back to the

330
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the imitation mark of the beast. So I mean that

331
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>shows you it was God's greatest commandment. It was just

332
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>very important to him. And then when you in the

333
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:52.039
<v Speaker 2>same book, when you go down to Deuteronomy eleven eighteen,

334
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 2>it speaks on it again. It says, you shall therefore

335
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>lay up these words of mine in your heart and

336
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>in your soul, and you shall bind them as a

337
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>sign on your hand, and they shall be frontlets between

338
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 2>your eyes. Once again, I mean, it's just the correlations

339
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 2>of all that stuff. You know. This this mark is

340
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 2>also on your you know, right hand, in your mind.

341
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's like you always have dualism in the Bible.

342
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.680
<v Speaker 2>You have literal and you have a lot of symbolic stuff,

343
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, So it's like you judge the tree by

344
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>its fruit. You know, if you're saying that, you know

345
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 2>you are you know your God's Yeah, you're gonna be

346
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>making godly decisions with your with your mind, with your mind,

347
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and your actions with your right hand. It's gonna be godly.

348
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>So that you know it's a it's a spiritual I mean,

349
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's probably literal also, but you can't ignore

350
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 2>the spiritual side of it. Also, there's always dual meanings

351
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in your Bible. And what's really crazy, and forgive me

352
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>for laughing, but you know, we always have pure literalists everywhere,

353
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the fair season stuff and the Bible,

354
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 2>they were so literal and focused on the law and

355
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 2>everything else. You know, they took it so literal.

356
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 3>They miss they missed kind of what it was telling them.

357
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh, they missed the Christ right in front of their eyes.

358
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 2>But one thing they would do is they would literally

359
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 2>wear a box on their heads with the laws written

360
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 2>down inside of them called philacteries.

361
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.880
<v Speaker 3>So that's quite literal.

362
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>So that that is something that still goes on today

363
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Jewish faith. But they do that right before

364
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.599
<v Speaker 1>they're bar mets for their bot mitzvah. Depending if you're

365
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a boy or a girl, but you wear it, you

366
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.559
<v Speaker 1>wear it. I guess it's only Jewish Men that wear them.

367
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>But you wear it. It's called a teflin and you

368
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>wear it on your wrist or you wear it on

369
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>your forehead, and Jewish men wear it before their bar mitzvah.

370
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just kind of a it's kind of a symbolic

371
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 1>and it actually has four texts written on a single

372
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:59.079
<v Speaker 1>parchment strip, and it has four different compartments with a

373
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 1>single text. And he but it's it's there. It's their

374
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 1>way of kind of you know, following that literally what they.

375
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Said their greatest commandment.

376
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

377
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's crazy to different stuff you can find, you know,

378
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:13.680
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, you know, we're not Jewish, you know

379
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, if we didn't actually dig and look

380
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.480
<v Speaker 2>into that stuff, we would miss it, you know. I

381
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.039
<v Speaker 2>mean that's why I think it's so important to dig

382
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 2>a little deeper and find out the whys and all

383
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 2>that stuff and the roots. Yeah, you know, and also

384
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in Exodus, you know, where you know, he comes down

385
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 2>to Sinai and gives the the commandments, you know, and

386
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 2>he says you know, he'll make them a nation of priests,

387
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 2>and he will be their god, you know, and to

388
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 2>give them, you know, the Ten Commandments.

389
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

390
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 2>And I read this in a book bearing the name

391
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>by Carmen somebody I can't remember, and that's where I

392
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of got some of this stuff from. But have

393
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you guys grew up in church, you know you've always

394
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 2>heard don't take the Lord's name in vain?

395
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Right?

396
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>What have you been taught that means.

397
00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Don't say g D yeah right?

398
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Or don't you know in anger use God's names and

399
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.160
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. Well, this, this woman, you know, brought

400
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.920
<v Speaker 2>it into a whole new light for me. She was

401
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.359
<v Speaker 2>saying that when they went to mout Sinai, you know,

402
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>he said, you know, keep my statutes, you'll be my people.

403
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm calling you to be a nation of priests. So

404
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>they were going to bear his name, you know. So

405
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>she was basically making the point that to take the

406
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Lord's name in vain is basically just don't be a hypocrite.

407
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Because if you're.

408
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Saying, hey, I'm God's chosen people, right, but with my mark,

409
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 2>my mind in my hand, I'm doing worldly things and

410
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>not godly things, then I'm a hypocrite. You're taking exactly,

411
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I've taken the name fame.

412
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.640
<v Speaker 3>You're saying you're a Christian or a godly follower, but

413
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:50.039
<v Speaker 3>you're not.

414
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, your fruits say otherwise.

415
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that makes perfect.

416
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it did to me, you know, it said, so

417
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.079
<v Speaker 2>you know and what And that's in Exodus nineteen six

418
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>where it says he'll all you to be a nation

419
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 2>of priests. They said, but then again, ask yourselves, well,

420
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 2>what did the priests have on their heads? Exodus twenty eight,

421
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>verse thirty six to thirty eight talks about a gold signet,

422
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a mark that should stay on his forehead that he

423
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.480
<v Speaker 2>may be accepted before the Lord. Okay, so if you're

424
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:25.960
<v Speaker 2>taking the Lord's name and you are going to be

425
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a nation of priests like he's called them to do,

426
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>be you will have a signet or mark of gold

427
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>on your forehead, and that makes you acceptable to the

428
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Lord because you are bearing his name. You're taking his name,

429
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.200
<v Speaker 2>okay on your forehead. Yeah, it says. So, it says,

430
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>we are called to be a nation of priests, and

431
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 2>we are told here not to take the Lord's name

432
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>in vain. You know, people misinterpret this all the time.

433
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.519
<v Speaker 2>This doesn't mean not to cuss with the Lord's name,

434
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 2>which of course you mean you don't want to do that,

435
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 2>right of course. Still yeah, but taking it in vain

436
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 2>this means you don't.

437
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Be a hypocrite, after mean in hypocrite, And.

438
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't be a bad imagure of God exactly, don't

439
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.240
<v Speaker 2>claim to be his child and bear his name and

440
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>misrepresent it, you know. To do that is to take

441
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the Lord's name in vain.

442
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:12.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

443
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:17.279
<v Speaker 2>So what do priests us, what we're called to be,

444
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:23.279
<v Speaker 2>have on our heads a golden pure signet or mark

445
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 2>so that we will be acceptable to the Lord.

446
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Pretty cool, hunh.

447
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.960
<v Speaker 2>So, whether we realize it or not, we're bearing the

448
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:31.400
<v Speaker 2>mark of God.

449
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 3>Even though it's not a signet exactly, a spiritual marking whatever. Yeah,

450
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 3>but that also makes you think I need to clean

451
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.279
<v Speaker 3>my world might act up? Oh yeah, if you look

452
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 3>at it the way taking the Lord names in vain

453
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 3>like you just described.

454
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And what's really cool when you break down the name.

455
00:24:54.720 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 2>The name right in Hebrew is a shim, so the

456
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 2>name is hush him Stephen. I'm gonna pass this to you.

457
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.039
<v Speaker 2>I want you check this out. Read this excerpt. And

458
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.839
<v Speaker 2>this is from the great Michael Heiser. It breaks down

459
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>great the name, and this is the little arrow that

460
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 2>goes to the next page.

461
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Biblical writers, I love.

462
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Hearing him read. He just sounds scholarly.

463
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:19.799
<v Speaker 3>He does.

464
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Michael Heiser sure does sound scholarly.

465
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.960
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about you, babes.

466
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Thanks buddy, he just get some hair.

467
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey, lowball, low ball.

468
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:36.400
<v Speaker 1>That's sorry, that's taking my name in vain. That's not cool.

469
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, all right.

470
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Biblical writers often refer to Yahweh, the God of Israel,

471
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.599
<v Speaker 1>as the name, a usage that the contemporary Conservative Jews

472
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.200
<v Speaker 1>practice today, referring to God's special divine name yah Wah

473
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>or Yahweh without using it Yeah, however, occurs in the

474
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Old Testament nearly seven thousand times. So Biblical writers did

475
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.799
<v Speaker 1>not you it was Hashem to avoid using the divine name. Rather,

476
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>it was a supplementary way to refer to Yahweh. In addition,

477
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 1>these writers cast the name as an embodied person, identifying

478
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the phrase as an important part of the Godhead. Thinking

479
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 1>in ancient Israel, that New Testament carries on the name

480
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>theology of the Old Testament, applying it in subtle ways

481
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to Jesus, thereby making a strategy for New Testament writers

482
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to identify Jesus with Yahweh. Isaiah thirty twenty seven through

483
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight uses the name Hashem as a substitute for

484
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Yahweh and cast the name in terms of the personhood. Behold,

485
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the name of Yahweh comes from Afar, burning with his

486
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>anger and in his thick rising smoke. His lips are

487
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>full of fury, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.

488
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>His breath is like an overflowing stream that reaches up

489
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to the neck to sift the nations with the sieve

490
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.839
<v Speaker 1>of destruction, and to place the jaws of the people's

491
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>a bridle that leads astray. Similarly, Psalm twenty reads, may

492
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Yahweh answer to you in the day of trouble. May

493
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.519
<v Speaker 1>the name of God, the God of Jacob, protect you.

494
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we

495
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.319
<v Speaker 1>trust in the name of Yahweh, our God. The Psalmist

496
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:24.880
<v Speaker 1>encourages the Israelites to trust in Yahweh, proclaiming he is

497
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.599
<v Speaker 1>who he says he is, and he can do what

498
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 1>he says he can do. It goes on a little further,

499
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.559
<v Speaker 1>but that's pretty much the you want to keep going

500
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to the hole.

501
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean, that's fine. I mean, that was definitely

502
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the gist. But basically, you know what it says, you know,

503
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I think it's in Proverbs. It says a good name

504
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>is to be held higher than precious gold and jewels.

505
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, it ain't saying your name, it ain't being literal.

506
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:54.039
<v Speaker 2>The name is representation right your character.

507
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Just I mean, like the old saying, you know,

508
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 3>a man's only as good as his word. It it's

509
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of the same application.

510
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess it'll be a good name bearer, have a

511
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 2>good reputation. So all this stuff you hear about the name,

512
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the name, the name, it's the reputation right of the name.

513
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 3>So supposed to be good, godly people. We're representing God,

514
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 3>so we got to do it in a favorable manner

515
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:22.640
<v Speaker 3>the whole.

516
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, the power in the name exactly, you know,

517
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:31.200
<v Speaker 2>is power in your actions. You're thinking the reputation, the representation,

518
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 2>the image of God that you are portraying.

519
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a big part of that though, when

520
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 1>you look back throughout the Bible when it asks, you know,

521
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like they ask, well was it Moses was talking? I

522
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>think it was to God and you say, who should

523
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I say sent me? And he says, I am sent you.

524
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not saying yahweh sent you. It's not

525
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 1>saying yah. You know, no, I am meaning just it's

526
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows. It's in me. It's in me. It's definitive.

527
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.839
<v Speaker 3>It's God, that's in the Bible. It talks about all

528
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 3>the names he goes by. That's my favorite, the great

529
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:09.279
<v Speaker 3>I Am.

530
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I mean that's it.

531
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 3>How you describe I am you can't. It's everything.

532
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>It's everything, and it's just I'm over here, Tyran Oh, yeah,

533
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

534
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I got just a couple more. I'll power through and

535
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 2>then we'll get to the mark of the beasts. And

536
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 2>this is where these guys are really excelled in. They're

537
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 2>going to take the steering wheel here. But Ezekiel chapter nine,

538
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:38.960
<v Speaker 2>verse four through six. It says, and this is basically

539
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.839
<v Speaker 2>where you know, God's talking to this Ezekiel here and

540
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 2>showing him all the abominations that you know, a woman

541
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 2>is crying at the steps of the temple for Tamuz,

542
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the sun god worship, and that people were

543
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 2>turning their backs to the temple and bowing to the

544
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Sun you know that, So this is just right after

545
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>all that, you know. So it says, and the Lord

546
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 2>said to him, pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and

547
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.839
<v Speaker 2>put a mark on the foreheads of the men who

548
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.119
<v Speaker 2>sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed

549
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 2>in it, and to the others. He said, in my hearing,

550
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.720
<v Speaker 2>passed through the city after him, and strike your eye

551
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 2>shall not spare, and you shall not show no pity.

552
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Kill old men outright, young men, maidens, little children, and women,

553
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>but do not touch the one whom is the mark.

554
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>And it began at my sanctuary. So they began with

555
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.039
<v Speaker 2>the elders and who were before the house. So here

556
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:47.440
<v Speaker 2>we go, we see this mark again. So my commentary

557
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>notes I got over here. It says they put a

558
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 2>mark on the foreheads. The mark was probably the Hebrew

559
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.839
<v Speaker 2>letter tav, which an ancient script, was shaped like an

560
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>X or a plus. The tav was the last letter

561
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 2>in the Hebrew alphabet, and Jewish groups in the Second

562
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Temple period and late antiquity continue to use it as

563
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 2>a mark of righteousness until it's similarly with the Christian cross,

564
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 2>made it unpopular in Judaism, because you know, they don't

565
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>believe the whole, you know, Jesus' Messiah thing. So they

566
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.319
<v Speaker 2>stopped using the tav. The tav, they said, they believe

567
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that's the mark that was used. It looks like a cross. Yeah, okay,

568
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.680
<v Speaker 2>so that's the mark that they were putting on everybody's head.

569
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>The tav is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Well,

570
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.359
<v Speaker 2>in the Book of Revelations, was he say, He said,

571
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I am the Alpha and the Omega, right, the beginning

572
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and end, the beginning and the end. But when you

573
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 2>look at the symbolism, the first letter in the Hebrew

574
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:49.240
<v Speaker 2>alphabet is the alph It's the symbol for God. It's

575
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the silent letter that starts everything. You know, he was

576
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the creator of all, He existed before everything. So and

577
00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 2>then the last letter, you know, he says, I'm the

578
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 2>off of the Omega. Well, the Omega was the tav.

579
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So he's the Alpha to the Omega. He is the

580
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:08.079
<v Speaker 2>alph which is God to the tav, which.

581
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Is the cross.

582
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>He was saying, I am the God that's coming to

583
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 2>the cross for your salvation.

584
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 1>As the symbolism.

585
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:19.039
<v Speaker 2>And you know what the middle letter is. The middle

586
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>letter is the men. So when Bosso by saying that

587
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>he says, you know, he's the alph to the tav alph.

588
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>The first letter is symbol for God. Then you have

589
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>men right in the dead center, and then tav. So

590
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.119
<v Speaker 2>when he's saying, I am the alpha of the omega.

591
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.599
<v Speaker 2>When you put those three letters together, you know a

592
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Hebrew word that makes truth. I am the way, I

593
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.359
<v Speaker 2>am the truth, I am the life. You shall know

594
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the truth, and that truth shall set you free.

595
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy, that's awesome. Well, thank you for listening to
