Speaker 1: to see the comments, you know, and I like to
Speaker 1: know exactly what you guys think, you know, if there's
Speaker 1: any improvements I need to make or you know, it
Speaker 1: really helps me out to be able to see what
Speaker 1: you guys would like me to do. So all right,
Speaker 1: well let's get to the Bible. Let's get to the Bible.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead. Share screen if you are watching
Speaker 1: this on video. We are in Exodus seventeen. Yes, yes, yes, amen,
Speaker 1: let's do this. So Exodus seventeen, we're gonna start. We'll
Speaker 1: start up right away. A couple of things, a couple
Speaker 1: of things I wanted to go over. Maybe i'll I'll
Speaker 1: wait till the end to go over those. I'll see
Speaker 1: if I even get to those. There was just a
Speaker 1: couple verses on Israel. But uh, yeah, so they're roughly
Speaker 1: there are roughly two million Israelites at this point. Just
Speaker 1: let you guys know which is. And it's an enormous
Speaker 1: task to move all of them, all right, It's an
Speaker 1: enormous task for Aaron and Moses. So you know God
Speaker 1: is assisting and God is helping him out. So you
Speaker 1: know they have faith here, and you know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, some prophecy that will be fulfilled
Speaker 1: in an Exodus nineteen that gets really interesting. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and start Exodus seventeen, Verse one. If
Speaker 1: you're following along and I'm reading out of the New
Speaker 1: King James version just so you guys know a little
Speaker 1: bit easier for me to read. And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: Water from the Rock is what the title of this is.
Speaker 1: It says, then all the congregation of the children of
Speaker 1: Israel set out on their journey from the wilderness of
Speaker 1: Sin according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped
Speaker 1: and refidem. But there was no water for the people
Speaker 1: to drink. Therefore, the people contended with Moses and said,
Speaker 1: give us water that we may drink. So first of all,
Speaker 1: God led them to raffidem. All right, you know that
Speaker 1: God knew there was going to be no water there.
Speaker 1: Right of course God knew because God knows the future
Speaker 1: and God knows everything. So this is God testing Israel
Speaker 1: and showing Israel that they need to depend on the Lord.
Speaker 1: So it's all about testing them. You know, you got
Speaker 1: to think about this. Israel did not have the Holy
Speaker 1: Bible the way. They don't get to build faith by
Speaker 1: reading the word of God. They don't get to build
Speaker 1: faith like we do. We get to read the Old Testament,
Speaker 1: we get to read the New Testament, we get to
Speaker 1: look at the strongs concordance we get to look at
Speaker 1: the Greek, the Hebrew, dig deep into you know, what
Speaker 1: God is trying to say to us. And that's the
Speaker 1: way God communicates to us. But when God communicates to them,
Speaker 1: he has to show them signs and he also has
Speaker 1: to you know, he kind of deals with us the
Speaker 1: same way he has. He wants us to really on
Speaker 1: God as well. You know, we get put in situations too,
Speaker 1: we get tested as well. But what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: that the Israelites, the you know, they're looking for a sign.
Speaker 1: You know, they're looking for miracles. That's this that's the
Speaker 1: way that God built faith in him through his miracles.
Speaker 1: That he would have people, you know, do like Moses
Speaker 1: for example. You know, like he would do miracles through Moses,
Speaker 1: and they knew it was coming from Yahweh, it was
Speaker 1: coming from the Great I Am. Okay, it's coming from God. Right.
Speaker 1: And this is this is very interesting when you read
Speaker 1: this and you see that that Israel they need a sign.
Speaker 1: They they as you see, they go from they go
Speaker 1: from having faith God split the Red Sea. You know, Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's a sign. That's huge, right, God just did
Speaker 1: this for us. Let's move, you know, and there's two
Speaker 1: million of them moving through. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people moving, a lot of moving parts, a lot of
Speaker 1: personalities here. Okay, it's not like, yeah, it's not an
Speaker 1: easy task, That's what I was saying, you know. So,
Speaker 1: so basically they start complaining and contending with Moses, give
Speaker 1: us water that we may drink. So Moses said to them,
Speaker 1: why are you why do you contend with me? Why
Speaker 1: do you tempt the Lord? Basically saying, have faith like
Speaker 1: God's gonna take care of us, you know, why are
Speaker 1: you trying to contend or complain? Uh, you know, for
Speaker 1: for water, it says, and the people thirsted for water.
Speaker 1: And the people complained against Moses and said, why is
Speaker 1: it you? Why is it you have brought us out
Speaker 1: of Egypt to kill us and our children and our
Speaker 1: livestock with thirst, which obviously is not true. All right,
Speaker 1: so they're saying that because they're thirsty. Now, something that
Speaker 1: happens with us humans is we we tend to murmur
Speaker 1: and come plane when we're thirsty. We tend to murmur
Speaker 1: and complain when we're hungry. We tend to murmur and
Speaker 1: complain when we're tired, lack of sleep, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't have the discipline to not complain. You know,
Speaker 1: that's why it's hard for a lot of people to fast.
Speaker 1: That's why it's hard for a lot of people to
Speaker 1: go through hard times. But what I'll tell you right now,
Speaker 1: even in the United States Army, when I was in
Speaker 1: the military, that you know, once I went through basic training,
Speaker 1: once I went through deployment. Now my regular life is
Speaker 1: you know, when when I'm faced with challenges, it's a
Speaker 1: lot easier for me to handle those challenges because I've
Speaker 1: been through the gutter. I've been through hard times. The
Speaker 1: same thing with people that have grown up, you know,
Speaker 1: without money or you know, I didn't grow up with money.
Speaker 1: My family didn't have money, so you know, that's kind
Speaker 1: of the same thing, you know. But what happens is
Speaker 1: you build you start building a tolerance to certain things
Speaker 1: when you're you know, when you go through the military,
Speaker 1: because you've been through such hard times that the regular
Speaker 1: civilian life it's easy compared to that. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that everybody's is, but you know, that's how
Speaker 1: it is for me. You know, like things that I've
Speaker 1: done in the Army, it's you know, when I do
Speaker 1: my regular civilian job now for the water district. Like
Speaker 1: for me, I feel like I've been deployed and I've
Speaker 1: been through the suck and how to embrace the suck,
Speaker 1: and I've been through that, so now it's a lot
Speaker 1: easier for me. So this is kind of what's happening.
Speaker 1: They're getting taken through and it's building you know, it's
Speaker 1: building up resilience. That's what's happening here. So so Moses
Speaker 1: cried out to the Lord, saying, what shall I do
Speaker 1: with this? People? They're almost ready to stone me. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're really Yeah, you're thirsty. You need water. That's very important.
Speaker 1: And the people just forgot to uh instead of going
Speaker 1: to Moses and saying, Moses, we need water, Moses, we
Speaker 1: need this. You know, they have just prayed, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody prayed. But it's like, I'm guilty of it too, right,
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, I might be going through something and
Speaker 1: I might snap, or I might get mad, or I
Speaker 1: might get upset or might you know, instead of going
Speaker 1: to God and just praying, you know, so I think
Speaker 1: that would probably probably be the better thing here. But
Speaker 1: they they start to murmur and complain, and God obviously
Speaker 1: hears it, and the Lord said to Moses, go on
Speaker 1: before the people, and take with you some of the
Speaker 1: elders of Israel. And take in your hand your rod,
Speaker 1: which which you struck the river, and go behold. I
Speaker 1: will stand before you there on the rock and herb,
Speaker 1: and you shall strike the rock, and water will come
Speaker 1: out of it, that the meat that the people may drink.
Speaker 1: All right. So and Moses did so in the sight
Speaker 1: of the elders of Israel. So we called the name
Speaker 1: of the place Massah and Mahrabah because the contention of
Speaker 1: the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord,
Speaker 1: saying this is the Lord among us. Not so so
Speaker 1: the complaining and murmuring uh they did. That's that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's interesting. But yeah, I was kind of
Speaker 1: letting you know, that's that's the time we need to
Speaker 1: know something. You know, we need to learn something too
Speaker 1: from the Bible. That when you are hungry, when you
Speaker 1: are thirsty, when you were tired, when you're sleepy, that
Speaker 1: is the time that Satan attacks. That's why a lot
Speaker 1: of people feel like they get they get spirits. The
Speaker 1: attacked at night. You know, he waits for you to
Speaker 1: get weak and then he attacks, you know, or then
Speaker 1: he tempts you, or then he does just like Jesus
Speaker 1: when he was up on that you know, he took
Speaker 1: him up to the highest mountain. He was fasting for
Speaker 1: forty days, he was tired, he was hungry, he was thirsty,
Speaker 1: and and and that's when that's when he decided to attempt.
Speaker 1: So we need to understand that. So kind of the
Speaker 1: same thing that's happening here. These people are being tempted.
Speaker 1: They're being tested by the Lord, but tempted by the devil,
Speaker 1: you know, to complain, you know, and they're and they're
Speaker 1: they're definitely taking the bait here. Now, Massa it actually
Speaker 1: means testing and marabah means quarreling. So so Moses called
Speaker 1: it massa and maraba for testing and quarreling. That's pretty
Speaker 1: interesting there. So let's go let's go ahead and go
Speaker 1: down to verse seventeen, uh sorry, chapter seventeen, verse eight.
Speaker 1: Victory over the Amalekites. Now Amalik came and fought with
Speaker 1: Israel and Raphadeem, and Moses said to Joshua. This is
Speaker 1: the first time that Joshua is actually mentioned in the Bible,
Speaker 1: and what is my name, josh Monday. I'm named after Joshua,
Speaker 1: So Joshua Caleb Monday is my name. Uh. Yes, So
Speaker 1: josh Monday is my name, and that's why you would see,
Speaker 1: you know, named after Joshua. And then my middle name
Speaker 1: is Caleb, so I'm named after Joshua and Caleb uh.
Speaker 1: And then Jasonel for my brother, you know. So choose
Speaker 1: us some men and go out fight with Amelak tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I will stand on the top of the hill with
Speaker 1: the Rod of God in my hand, So Joshua did
Speaker 1: Moses said to him, said to him, and fought with Amalak,
Speaker 1: and Moses and Aaron and her went up to the
Speaker 1: top of the hill. So and it was so when
Speaker 1: Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed, and that
Speaker 1: when he let down his hand, Amlak prevailed. So he
Speaker 1: was on top of the mountain, and Moses has to
Speaker 1: hold his hands up with the rod. And every time
Speaker 1: Moses got weak and put his arms down, then Amelak
Speaker 1: started winning and the battle. So he has to keep
Speaker 1: his arms up. When he keeps his arms up, then
Speaker 1: then Israel prevailed. When he put his hands down, a
Speaker 1: Malak prevailed. Right, But Moses's hand became heavy, so they
Speaker 1: took us. So they took us stone and put it
Speaker 1: under his arm, and he sat on it, and Aaron
Speaker 1: and her supported his hands, one on one side and
Speaker 1: and the other on the other side, and his hands
Speaker 1: were steady until the going down of the sun. So
Speaker 1: Joshua defeated Amalak and his people with the edge of
Speaker 1: the sword. So praise God. So you see he it's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting, right He's standing on top of the mountain
Speaker 1: holding up the rod, and he's holding it up, and
Speaker 1: they're winning when he's holding it up, and then you know,
Speaker 1: as soon as he starts putting it down and they
Speaker 1: started losing, He's got to hold it up. So that
Speaker 1: is another thing of testing, you know, willpower working, you know,
Speaker 1: towards towards that victory, which is interesting. I believe if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, that the that that Amalekites are they giants.
Speaker 1: I have to check. According to the Amakots were unlike
Speaker 1: were likely usually unusually tall, because the word means giant.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the plural is Amalaki in the Bible that
Speaker 1: Melakites were the enemy of the Israelites, described and living
Speaker 1: in Nagar there's realts who hey, but yeah, so the Amaloks,
Speaker 1: all right, the Amalekites were a giant tribe. Look at
Speaker 1: that another time, that they're fighting against giants. That's so
Speaker 1: interesting because we keep seeing that, you know, in the
Speaker 1: Book of Numbers, you're going to see that Exodus, we
Speaker 1: see them fighting against the Amalekites. The Book of Judges,
Speaker 1: they're fighting against the Amalekites and the Judges three thirteen
Speaker 1: and Judges six one through six. Right, so that is
Speaker 1: their enemies, you know. And so in Arab and Arabic,
Speaker 1: Amalekites means giant. That's really interesting. The Amalekites were descendants
Speaker 1: of Amalik and the grandsons of Esau. Wow, that's interesting
Speaker 1: because Esau. Actually you know the interesting part about that
Speaker 1: is uh Esau. Yeah, all right, we won't get into that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't want to get too crazy into that.
Speaker 1: So then we'll go back to Exodus seventeen, verse fourteen.
Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses, write this for a
Speaker 1: memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing
Speaker 1: of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance
Speaker 1: of the amalek from under heaven the remembrance of Amalek
Speaker 1: from under the heaven, and Moses built an altar and
Speaker 1: called its name, the Lord is my banner, where he said,
Speaker 1: because the Lord has shown, the Lord will have war
Speaker 1: with Amalik from generation to generation. Very interesting. Well, all
Speaker 1: I was gonna say about Esau, excuse me, guys, sorry
Speaker 1: about that. About Esau is that he was harry right,
Speaker 1: and his he came out with red hair and a
Speaker 1: harry back. So some people believe that Esau was actually
Speaker 1: part giant. I don't know. That's just with some buildie.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be able to say that for sure.
Speaker 1: I do know that he was a mighty man. He
Speaker 1: was a hunter. He was fighting outside, so you know
Speaker 1: that he was tough. And also when Jacob went to
Speaker 1: meet with Esau, as we went in the book of Genesis,
Speaker 1: what do we see. We saw Jacob was bowing down
Speaker 1: to Esau as he was walking up to him because
Speaker 1: he was afraid of him. Because he's a warrior. He
Speaker 1: was a fighter, he was a hunter. He was someone
Speaker 1: that that was good with a bow, you know, he
Speaker 1: was he was a man's man, you know, and he
Speaker 1: was strong, very strong, and more of the outside type
Speaker 1: and Jacob was what he was more the inside type.
Speaker 1: So you see that the Amalekites were descendants of a Malik,
Speaker 1: the grandson of Esau, so maybe maybe and Esau was
Speaker 1: marrying a Canaanite woman. Right, So if you notice that
Speaker 1: the Canaanites were the ones that God was I to
Speaker 1: make it so that they were not marrying into if
Speaker 1: you notice in the in the story, you see that
Speaker 1: they were they were actually Isaac was actually upset that
Speaker 1: Esau was marrying into the Canaanite tribe. And also he
Speaker 1: made he married a wright. The Wrights were actually a
Speaker 1: giant tribe. So you see Esau married into a giant tribe,
Speaker 1: and now you have the Amalekites, which were giants. So
Speaker 1: that's the part I wanted to get to. I just
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't think of it off the top
Speaker 1: of my head really quick. But it came out perfect.
Speaker 1: So praise God for that, all right. So Exodus eighteen,
Speaker 1: Verse one, Jethro's at fist. Now this is very interesting
Speaker 1: because Jethrow is actually uh a paid he's a pagan,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, he's not like, uh he's not he's
Speaker 1: not dedicated to to you know, the God of Israel,
Speaker 1: the God of Isaac, Jacob and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
Speaker 1: you know, at this point. So but you know, it's
Speaker 1: not like it's forbidden in the Bible to take advice
Speaker 1: from someone that's a pagan. You know, you just you know,
Speaker 1: it's not forbidden. But you know, obviously you want to
Speaker 1: you want to filter it through. If it's not biblical,
Speaker 1: then obviously you don't want to take the advice from them.
Speaker 1: But looks like here Moses. You know, Jethro is Moses's
Speaker 1: father in law, so you know, he's just he's taken
Speaker 1: some advice from me here, so it says, and Jethro,
Speaker 1: the priest of Midian, moses father in law, heard all
Speaker 1: that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people,
Speaker 1: and the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. Then Jethro,
Speaker 1: Moses's father in law, took Zipporah, Moses's wife, after he
Speaker 1: had sent her back with her two sons, of whom
Speaker 1: the names were Gush Gersham, after he said, I have
Speaker 1: been a stranger in a foreign land. And then the
Speaker 1: other name was Eliezer, for he said that God and
Speaker 1: my father was my help and delivered me from the
Speaker 1: sword of Pharaoh. And Jethro, Moses's father in law, came
Speaker 1: with his son and wife to Moses in the wilderness
Speaker 1: where he has encamped at the Mountain of God. Now
Speaker 1: he had said to Moses, I your father in law, Jethro,
Speaker 1: and coming to you with your wife and your two
Speaker 1: sons with her. Now we're at chapter eighteen, verse seven.
Speaker 1: So Moses went out to meet his father in law,
Speaker 1: bowed down and kissed him, and they asked each other
Speaker 1: for their well being. And they went into the tent,
Speaker 1: so you know, they greeted each other. They were asking
Speaker 1: each other, how you doing, how are you doing? And
Speaker 1: Moses told his father in law that the Lord had done.
Speaker 1: And then Moses told his father in law all that
Speaker 1: the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians
Speaker 1: for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon
Speaker 1: them on the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.
Speaker 1: Then Jericho rejoiced from all the good what's the Lord
Speaker 1: had done for Israel, whom he had delivered out of
Speaker 1: the hand of the Egyptians. And Jethro said, blessed be
Speaker 1: the Lord who has delivered you out of the hand
Speaker 1: of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh,
Speaker 1: and who has delivered the people from under the hand
Speaker 1: of the Egyptians. Now I know that the Lord is
Speaker 1: greater than all the gods. Very interesting right here is
Speaker 1: you notice that it says that the Lord is greater
Speaker 1: than all the lowercase g gods. So let me ask
Speaker 1: you guys a question. Do you guys think that there's
Speaker 1: other gods? Is there literally other gods? I think that's
Speaker 1: important for people to know, you know, does does God
Speaker 1: talk bring up other gods in the Bible? Yes? He does.
Speaker 1: A couple examples of this are. I want to make
Speaker 1: sure I save my place right here. Let me just
Speaker 1: I'm gonna highlight that. A couple examples is like Psalms
Speaker 1: eighty two, verse one. I'm gonna go there real quick
Speaker 1: on my phone because I don't want to pull it
Speaker 1: up on the screen, so I want to keep that
Speaker 1: part right there. Psalms eighty two, verse one. Listen, it
Speaker 1: says God standeth in the congregation of the Mighty. He
Speaker 1: judges among the gods the little g gods. How long
Speaker 1: will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked?
Speaker 1: Defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted
Speaker 1: and needy, Deliver the poor and needy, rid them out
Speaker 1: of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither
Speaker 1: will they understand. They will walk in the darkness. All
Speaker 1: the foundations of the earth are out. Of course, I said,
Speaker 1: ye are gods, little case g or eloheims, and all
Speaker 1: of you are children of the Most High. But ye
Speaker 1: shall die like men and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O, God,
Speaker 1: judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all nations. So
Speaker 1: what is he talking about here? These are all the
Speaker 1: children of the Most High, sons of God. Right, they
Speaker 1: shall die like men? Yeah, because they're not men, they're
Speaker 1: sons of God. And they're also ruling over these nations.
Speaker 1: Very interesting. So God is talking, He's going into standing
Speaker 1: in the Congregation of the Mighty, like the Divine Council,
Speaker 1: telling these little g gods or eloheim angels, sons of
Speaker 1: gods that are looking over these nations. So it looks
Speaker 1: like to me that fallen angels are representing these other gods.
Speaker 1: It's like Apollo, you know, I would say that maybe
Speaker 1: Apollo or Zeus or whatever you want to say, you
Speaker 1: know any any Roman god you want to name, or
Speaker 1: any any uh, you know, Nimrods or whatever people want
Speaker 1: to worship. I wouldn't say Nimrods so much, but a
Speaker 1: lot of these, you know, Apollo or you know, these
Speaker 1: other lowercase g gods that people are worshiping. Do you
Speaker 1: not think that maybe that these deities maybe have appeared
Speaker 1: to the Greeks and make them worship them, or appeared
Speaker 1: to the Romans, you know, Saturn or Jupiter appeared to
Speaker 1: them to make them want to worship them. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're lowercase g gods. Yeah, they're sons of gods.
Speaker 1: They're fallen angels or some of them. Maybe Lucifer maybe
Speaker 1: might play these roles as well. They're coming to them,
Speaker 1: that's why they're worshiping them, you know. So that's who
Speaker 1: God is talking to right here. And what happens is
Speaker 1: if these nations want to worship of God, then then
Speaker 1: God the Father will say you take go ahead, you
Speaker 1: can have these gods, and he lets them rule over
Speaker 1: their nations. An example of this is in the Book
Speaker 1: of Daniel when he it's I think it's Daniel thirteen,
Speaker 1: where he does the prayer, and he prays, and then
Speaker 1: you know that the angel is going to answer his
Speaker 1: prayer and he's fighting with the Prince of Persia. He
Speaker 1: asks Michael Lee archangel to help you see what I
Speaker 1: mean the Prince of Persia, Right, this is an evil angel.
Speaker 1: Obviously that's over the Prince of Persia because they're fighting
Speaker 1: against God's angels. But he's ruling over Persia. So you
Speaker 1: see that there's examples in the Bible of fallen angels
Speaker 1: ruling over nations. Obviously, God is ruling over Israel. That
Speaker 1: these are his people, and this is the God you know,
Speaker 1: he's the one that they're worshiping, so he's going to
Speaker 1: represent for them at this time. Right, But look at
Speaker 1: Egypt and these other nations. For example, Jethro it says
Speaker 1: that he's the priest of the Medians, right, the Midians,
Speaker 1: which he's the priest of them, you know, the worshiping
Speaker 1: other gods. So that is why Jethro says he is
Speaker 1: above them. Then Jethrow, Yeah, that's why he's saying that
Speaker 1: the Lord, you know, you know, God is greater than
Speaker 1: all the gods. So it's it's just very interesting to me.
Speaker 1: Some people would would probably contend to that and say, oh,
Speaker 1: that's not true. But what about Apheesian six twelve. You know,
Speaker 1: what about a Feesians six twelve? And what I would
Speaker 1: also contend is and Ephesians six twelve. They're actually, let
Speaker 1: me read it real quick, for we wrestle not against
Speaker 1: flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
Speaker 1: rulers of darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places. What
Speaker 1: they're in high places. Yeah, So I just want to
Speaker 1: let you guys know that, all right, So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of go over that for you guys.
Speaker 1: So when they're talking about little little lower case g gods,
Speaker 1: I believe biblically it would be like demons, or I
Speaker 1: would say fallen angels. I'm not saying that demons and
Speaker 1: fallen angels are the same, but sometimes they're worshiping demons.
Speaker 1: You know, you got Bao, you got Moloch, you got
Speaker 1: all these different gods. You know, I believe a lot
Speaker 1: of them are idioms for Satan. Some of them are
Speaker 1: idioms for fallen angels. That's what I believe. And and
Speaker 1: even Paul says, behind these idols there are demons, right,
Speaker 1: So that's that's very interesting when when Paul says that
Speaker 1: it's not like they're just worshiping nothing. There's something there
Speaker 1: that is enemies of the Most High right, So it's
Speaker 1: not just like they're worshiping thin air. There's some kind
Speaker 1: of deity or entity behind this, all right. So for
Speaker 1: in the very thing in which they have behaved proudly,
Speaker 1: he was above them. Then Jericho, Moses's father in law,
Speaker 1: took a burnt offering and other sacrifices to offer to God.
Speaker 1: And Aaron came with the elders to Israel to eat
Speaker 1: bread with moses father in law before God. So they
Speaker 1: were all just eating fellowship. Looks like Jethro was okay
Speaker 1: with with worshiping and worshiping yahweh, you know. And it was.
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to Exodus eighteen, verse thirteen. And
Speaker 1: so it was on the next day that Moses sacked
Speaker 1: to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses
Speaker 1: from morning until evening. So when Moses' father in law
Speaker 1: saw all that he did for the people, he said,
Speaker 1: what is this thing that you are doing for the people.
Speaker 1: Why do you alone sit and all the people stand
Speaker 1: before you for the morning until evening, and Moses said
Speaker 1: to his father in law, because the people come to
Speaker 1: me to inquire God of God when they have a difficulty,
Speaker 1: They come to me, and I judge between one and
Speaker 1: the other, and I make known the statutes of God
Speaker 1: and his laws. Man, can you imagine being Moses? Can
Speaker 1: you imagine being Moses having to deal with all these
Speaker 1: different personalities and all these different people, and all these
Speaker 1: different quarrels and all these different complaints. And man, I
Speaker 1: must have been pretty crazy, you know. A good thing
Speaker 1: he had God on his side, because man would go
Speaker 1: nuts dealing with all that. So Moses's father in law
Speaker 1: said to him, the thing that you do is not good.
Speaker 1: Both you and these people who are with you will
Speaker 1: surely wear it yourselves out. Yeah. See that's what he's
Speaker 1: saying here. For this is the thing is too much
Speaker 1: for you. You are not able to perform it by yourself.
Speaker 1: Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel,
Speaker 1: and God will be with you. Stand before God for
Speaker 1: the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God.
Speaker 1: So it looks like he's he's a older older obviously
Speaker 1: than Moses, and he's you know, breaking some game down
Speaker 1: to him, and also, you know, get just giving them
Speaker 1: some I think this has given them some great advice.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes God can talk through non believers, Believe
Speaker 1: it or not. Sometimes God can use non believers in
Speaker 1: your life to teach you a lesson or teach you
Speaker 1: something that you probably need to know. And you shall
Speaker 1: teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them
Speaker 1: the way in which they must walk, and and they
Speaker 1: and the work they must do. Moreover, you shall select
Speaker 1: from all the people able men such as fear God,
Speaker 1: men of truth, such as such men that fear God,
Speaker 1: men of truth, hating covetousness, and place such over them
Speaker 1: to be rulers of the thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers
Speaker 1: of fifties, and rulers of tens, and let them judge
Speaker 1: the people at all times. Then it will be very are.
Speaker 1: Then it will be that every great matter they shall
Speaker 1: bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge.
Speaker 1: So it will be easier for you that they will
Speaker 1: bear the burden with you. If you do this thing,
Speaker 1: and God so commands you, then you will be able
Speaker 1: to endure. And all this people will also go to
Speaker 1: their place in peace. So you know, take a little
Speaker 1: burden off Moses's back. Moses is trying to do everything himself.
Speaker 1: He's saying, it's gonna wear yourselves out. It's gonna wear
Speaker 1: the people out. They're gonna be sick of dealing with you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be sick of dealing with them. So you
Speaker 1: need to get, you know, to get some judges put
Speaker 1: in place. And so Moses heeded the voice of his
Speaker 1: father in law and did all that he said. And
Speaker 1: Moses chowse able men out of all Israel and made
Speaker 1: them them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers
Speaker 1: of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of ten. So
Speaker 1: they judge the people at all times. The hard cases
Speaker 1: they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case
Speaker 1: among themselves, small cases themselves. Then Moses let his father
Speaker 1: in law depart and they went his way to his
Speaker 1: own land. So, yeah, very interesting there. He's just taking
Speaker 1: a little burden off them. You know, like once in
Speaker 1: a while, you know, you need help, and you can't
Speaker 1: just always make your own decisions. You need to pray
Speaker 1: to God for discernment, pray for guidance, you know, God
Speaker 1: will guide you, but sometimes you need somebody to come
Speaker 1: and kind of put things in order for you. You know,
Speaker 1: like I said, two million people, they're moving. They got
Speaker 1: people coming up to him asking him questions, you know,
Speaker 1: having quarrels, having arguments, having fights. He has to judge.
Speaker 1: He has big things, small things, things that probably don't matter,
Speaker 1: things that probably really do matter that he's dealing with.
Speaker 1: And and like you said, Jethro's you're gonna get worn
Speaker 1: out doing this. So I think God speaking through Jethrow,
Speaker 1: I think he gave him some great advice there. And
Speaker 1: now we have Exodus nineteen, so this is interesting. So
Speaker 1: Exodus nineteen we have we'll have some really interesting stuff
Speaker 1: happened here the And just let you guys know, the
Speaker 1: san Hadrin also used that pattern the seventy elders that
Speaker 1: Moses had brought to Israel, like you know, that same
Speaker 1: kind of pattern. The Sanhedrin ended up using that same
Speaker 1: exact pattern when Jesus was on the earth, so they
Speaker 1: actually kept that same exact thing going. So that's interesting.
Speaker 1: So Exodus nineteen, Verse one, and then Exodus actually is
Speaker 1: going to be fulfilling Exodus three. You know, now they're
Speaker 1: going to be at Mount Siinai, right, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: stay there for a while. Actually, I think all the
Speaker 1: way till I think it's like the middle of the
Speaker 1: Book of Numbers or something. They're gonna be staying there
Speaker 1: for a while here. So Exodus nineteen, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: on verse one and the third month. After the children
Speaker 1: of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt,
Speaker 1: on the same day they came to the wilderness of Sinai.
Speaker 1: For they had departed from Rapideem had come to the
Speaker 1: wilderness of Siinai and camped in the wilderness. So Israel
Speaker 1: camped there before the mountain. So and Moses went up
Speaker 1: to God. So he went up the mountain to speak
Speaker 1: to God, excuse me. And the Lord called to him
Speaker 1: from the mountain, saying, thus you shall say to the
Speaker 1: house of Jacob or the house of Israel, and tell
Speaker 1: the children of Israel. Yet you have seen what I
Speaker 1: did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on
Speaker 1: eagles wings and brought you to myself something I think
Speaker 1: I need to reiterate here. Okay, this is really powerful stuff.
Speaker 1: So he says, and I bore you on eagles wings.
Speaker 1: It brought you to myself. If you guys look up
Speaker 1: what eagles do with they're young that they're taking care of.
Speaker 1: They don't hold them with their claws. They actually put
Speaker 1: them on their backs and they fly. So what happens is, uh,
Speaker 1: think about it. If somebody was down on the on
Speaker 1: the on the ground with the arrow and they try
Speaker 1: to shoot an arrow up, well, the eagle is gonna
Speaker 1: have it on its back, so it would take the
Speaker 1: arrow first before we can hit the one, you know
Speaker 1: behind it. It's basically full protection mode against anything that's coming.
Speaker 1: That's why it puts the eagle on its back. So
Speaker 1: that's what it says right here, that eagles wings and
Speaker 1: brought you to myself. You know so I I just
Speaker 1: like to to think about that. You know, how much
Speaker 1: God was taking care of them, and that idiom of
Speaker 1: the of the eagle wings and brought you to myself.
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty interesting there. So now, therefore, if
Speaker 1: you indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then
Speaker 1: you shall see a special treasure to me above all people,
Speaker 1: for all the earth is mine, and you shall be
Speaker 1: to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
Speaker 1: These are the words which you shall speak to the
Speaker 1: children of Israel. So you see God speaking to Moses
Speaker 1: here saying that you shall be to me a kingdom
Speaker 1: of priest and a holy nation. So I think that's,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty interesting. It's like because, yeah, they become holy,
Speaker 1: but man, it's a holy nation. But you see, you'll
Speaker 1: see what happens with the with the children of Israel
Speaker 1: and what they end up doing. Uh here when I
Speaker 1: once he comes back down with the Ten Commandments, it says,
Speaker 1: so Moses came and called for the elder of the
Speaker 1: people and laid before them all the words which the
Speaker 1: Lord commanded him. Then all the people answered together and
Speaker 1: said all that the Lord has spoken, well we will do.
Speaker 1: So Moses brought back the words of the people to
Speaker 1: the Lord, and the Lord said to Moses, behold, I
Speaker 1: come to you in a thick cloud, and all the
Speaker 1: people may hear when I speak with you, and believe
Speaker 1: you forever. So now the people are down at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the mountain, you know, looking up basically playing.
Speaker 1: You know, he's the middleman. And obviously God doesn't need
Speaker 1: Moses to come deliver the message. God already knows what
Speaker 1: the people are saying. But the people don't know God's
Speaker 1: power fully at this point doesn't always omnipresent, omnipotent and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So that this is the way they're
Speaker 1: doing it, and God needs to build their faith up
Speaker 1: in Him and also build their faith up, and that
Speaker 1: Moses is a is a good leader. So the way
Speaker 1: he's doing that is sending him down the hill, down
Speaker 1: the mountain to the people. The people are telling him
Speaker 1: stuff and they're going he's going up. God is telling
Speaker 1: him what he's his word, uh, and he's going back
Speaker 1: down and delivering the message to the people. So he
Speaker 1: is the middleman. It shows great leadership. It would build
Speaker 1: faith in God because God is telling him stuff and
Speaker 1: God is fulfilling his promises just like right here, he's
Speaker 1: fulfilling Exodus three seventeen through eighteen. It says, and I
Speaker 1: have said, I will bring you up out of the
Speaker 1: affliction of Egypt onto the land of the Canaanites, the
Speaker 1: hit Tights, the Amorites, and so on, and telling him
Speaker 1: that he's you know, he's gonna bring him out of
Speaker 1: Egypt and they're gonna end up on the on the mountain,
Speaker 1: you know again. So you know, he's fulfilling that so
Speaker 1: anything that God is telling them, he is. He is
Speaker 1: telling him prophecy, and he is fulfilling it. He's giving
Speaker 1: him signs, he's giving him miracles, he's building faith. So
Speaker 1: so it says, so I'm gonna go back to chapter
Speaker 1: nineteen Exodus, Chapter nineteen, verse ten. So Moses told the
Speaker 1: words of the people to the Lord. Then the Lord
Speaker 1: said to Moses, go to the people and consecrate them
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, and
Speaker 1: let them be ready for the third day. For on
Speaker 1: the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount
Speaker 1: Sinai in the sight of all the people. You shall
Speaker 1: set bounds for the people all around, saying, take heed
Speaker 1: to yourselves that you do not go up to the
Speaker 1: mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountains shall
Speaker 1: surely be put to death. Not a hand shall touch him,
Speaker 1: but he shall surely be stoned or shot with the narrow,
Speaker 1: whether the man or beast, he shall not live. When
Speaker 1: the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.
Speaker 1: So one thing we fail to realize sometime is the
Speaker 1: we we we failed to appreciate the fact that we
Speaker 1: could come to God through our mediator Jesus Christ. We
Speaker 1: get to be like Moses on that mountain, you know,
Speaker 1: without having to go through all this stuff. The people
Speaker 1: before they couldn't come and walk up to the Lord
Speaker 1: and speak. They need to have a priest talk to him.
Speaker 1: There's all those things that they had a high priest.
Speaker 1: So we need to understand that, appreciate the fact that
Speaker 1: we have a mediator in Jesus and we could speak
Speaker 1: through Jesus to God, and that we even have the
Speaker 1: ability to pray because look at the way that they
Speaker 1: had to they had to do, you know, look at
Speaker 1: the way they had to communicate with God before. There
Speaker 1: was a lot of things you had to put in
Speaker 1: place that before you could speak to him, you know,
Speaker 1: you have to have you know, it was just it's
Speaker 1: a lot different. You know. We need to appreciate the
Speaker 1: fact that we could just pray to God now, but
Speaker 1: we haven't mediator in Jesus, and we can and we
Speaker 1: have that open communication with the Lord. I mean, we
Speaker 1: don't really think about that sometimes, but when we read
Speaker 1: the Bible, the Old Testament, we see the things they
Speaker 1: had to go through and we realized, like, wow, we
Speaker 1: are so blessed. Praise God to be able to pray
Speaker 1: to God. And even though we're not holy, and we
Speaker 1: are disgusting and our works are just filthy rags, We're
Speaker 1: able to speak to God because of what Jesus did
Speaker 1: on the cross. Tell me that just amazing stuff. I'm beautiful,
Speaker 1: you know. So this is a exodus nineteen verse fourteen.
Speaker 1: So Moses went down from the mountain to the people
Speaker 1: and sanctify the people, and they washed their clothes, and
Speaker 1: he said to the people, be ready for the third day,
Speaker 1: and do not come near your wives. So do not
Speaker 1: have sex with your wives. Do not lay with your wives.
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Stay basically, just abstain, you know, can
Speaker 1: you can you abstain? Can you fast from this? Basically
Speaker 1: he wants them to fast from it. So I think
Speaker 1: that's that's just interesting too. You know. It's like sacrifices
Speaker 1: you need to make, you know, it's it's it's obviously
Speaker 1: that's something that's hard for men to uh to not do,
Speaker 1: you know. So he wants you to stay away from that.
Speaker 1: Do not come near your wives. It says, then it
Speaker 1: came to pass on the third day in the morning
Speaker 1: that there were thunderings and lightnings in a thick cloud
Speaker 1: on the mountain, and the sound of a trumpet was
Speaker 1: very loud, so that all the people who were in
Speaker 1: the camp trembled. Can you imagine being in the camp
Speaker 1: two million people around this mountain and you're just chilling
Speaker 1: there waiting for Moses to come down, you know, looking like, oh,
Speaker 1: where's he at? And all of a sudden you see
Speaker 1: the thundering, the lightning, thick clouds on the mountain, and
Speaker 1: and the trumpets, Like the trumpet just probably wasn't like
Speaker 1: a burnt burner. It was probably so loud and overbearing.
Speaker 1: It was probably frightening, dude, really interesting. And Moses brought
Speaker 1: the people out of the camp to meet with God,
Speaker 1: and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now
Speaker 1: Mount Sinai was completely in smoke because the Lord descended
Speaker 1: upon it in fire. It smoke ascended like the smoke
Speaker 1: of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly, so
Speaker 1: it's shaking like an earthquake. The blast of a trumpet
Speaker 1: sounded long, it became louder and louder. Moses spoke and
Speaker 1: God answered him by voice, and the Lord came down
Speaker 1: upon Mount Sinai on the top of the mountain, and
Speaker 1: the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain
Speaker 1: and Moses went up. Now look at that real quick.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine, Moses, uh, how much courage
Speaker 1: that has to take, even though you know you're you're
Speaker 1: gonna go meet with God and you know you don't
Speaker 1: have anything to worry about at this point because you've
Speaker 1: already been dealing with God. Can you imagine seeing that
Speaker 1: thick cloud, the thundering, the trumpet, and and you know,
Speaker 1: and then you know there's got to be angels there
Speaker 1: as well, you know what I mean, like protecting the
Speaker 1: Lord and everything. You know. So, dude, Moses is about
Speaker 1: to go up there, and that must have been incredible, incredible,
Speaker 1: and it takes courage to do that. And Moses has
Speaker 1: been building courage up because before he told God, I'm
Speaker 1: not the guy. I'm not the one to do this.
Speaker 1: I'm not I can't even speak, I stuttered, I have
Speaker 1: a speech impediment. I'm not the guy. And look at
Speaker 1: he's his leadership that he's learning here, you know, and
Speaker 1: this is good stuff. And the Lord said to Moses,
Speaker 1: go down and warn the people lest they break through
Speaker 1: a gaze at the Lord and many of them perish,
Speaker 1: and let the priests who come near the Lord consecrate themselves.
Speaker 1: Let the Lord break out against them. But Moses said
Speaker 1: to the Lord that people cannot come up to Mount Sinai,
Speaker 1: for you warned us, saying, set back around the mountain
Speaker 1: and consecrate it. Then the Lord said to him, away,
Speaker 1: get down, and then come up you and Aaron with you.
Speaker 1: But do not let the priest and the people break
Speaker 1: through to come up to the Lord unless he break
Speaker 1: out against them. So Moses went down to the people
Speaker 1: and spoke to them. So what is it building? Like
Speaker 1: I said, it's building leadership in Moses. It's building confidence
Speaker 1: in Moses. He's able to go up and speak to
Speaker 1: the Lord. The people are probably like, dude, this guy
Speaker 1: gets to go talk to God. God trust him this much.
Speaker 1: He's able to you know, he's able to go up
Speaker 1: and talk to him, you know. And it makes it
Speaker 1: so that the people, it makes it so that, uh,
Speaker 1: people trust the commandments that come from God, the laws
Speaker 1: that come from God a lot more. That's why Moses
Speaker 1: has looked up to is like such a figure, uh
Speaker 1: you know in you know, the Jews look up to
Speaker 1: him a lot because you know. And then Jesus, if
Speaker 1: you look at a on five forty five, if you
Speaker 1: don't believe the words of Moses, how are you gonna
Speaker 1: believe my words? You know. So so even even Jesus
Speaker 1: points to Moses as well, and and then uh, it's
Speaker 1: just to me, it's just uh, it's fascinating and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as you know, being prior military, you know,
Speaker 1: the leadership. I was a sergeant in the in the army.
Speaker 1: Like I wish I would have dug a lot deeper
Speaker 1: into the word of God during that time I was.
Speaker 1: You know, I wish that before I I wish you know,
Speaker 1: I spent way more time, uh, you know, being fully saved.
Speaker 1: You know, I wish I spent a lot more time.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I went through a lot of
Speaker 1: hardships and stuff and and during you know, during those
Speaker 1: times before I joined the army, and I had to
Speaker 1: go through that to get to where I am today,
Speaker 1: you know. So anyways, Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1: So all right, so we are going to now go
Speaker 1: to Exodus twenty and this is gonna be now speaking
Speaker 1: of the Ten Commandments. Here we go, and God spoke
Speaker 1: all these words saying, I am the Lord your God
Speaker 1: who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out
Speaker 1: of the house of bondage. You shall have no other
Speaker 1: gods before me. There we go, no other little g
Speaker 1: gods before me. So that is nombree, no. Right. So
Speaker 1: I had a full breakdown of this here. I was
Speaker 1: trying to look for it really quick explain. Oops. All right, So,
Speaker 1: so the first four commandments are going to be like
Speaker 1: how to worship God and stuff like that. The last
Speaker 1: six are our dead, are or to us? You know,
Speaker 1: so are directed towards us. So it says you shall
Speaker 1: have no other gods before me. Right, you shall not
Speaker 1: make yourselves a carved image, any likeness or anything that
Speaker 1: is in heaven above, that is in the earth beneath,
Speaker 1: or that is in the water under the earth. You
Speaker 1: shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I,
Speaker 1: the Lord your God, am a jealous god, visiting the
Speaker 1: iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third
Speaker 1: and fourth generate nations to those who hate me, but
Speaker 1: showing mercy to thousands to those who love me, and
Speaker 1: keep my commandments. You understand that. So, so when he
Speaker 1: says that you shall have no other gods before me.
Speaker 1: That's you know, he talks about the but and then
Speaker 1: he goes he says, you shall not make yourselves a
Speaker 1: carved image or likeness of anything that is in heaven
Speaker 1: above on the earth they needs, So think about that.
Speaker 1: So he's talking about those idols as well, those carved images. Yes,
Speaker 1: but he's speaking about the gods as well. You shall
Speaker 1: have no other gods before me, So we got to
Speaker 1: understand that. So I think that it's very important that
Speaker 1: that he is separating that, right, So he's actually he's
Speaker 1: separating those two because that's two different things. Yes, there's
Speaker 1: carved images made of these gods, but he's saying, did
Speaker 1: not put any other gods before him, don't put other
Speaker 1: elohem before him. So it's kind of it's two different things.
Speaker 1: People don't separate that. They just think that that he's
Speaker 1: talking about idols and carved images. He's talking about gods,
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that there's other gods that can
Speaker 1: create like God can. What I'm telling you is that
Speaker 1: there's sons of gods, fallen angels that are playing these
Speaker 1: roles of these of these other gods. So there's actually
Speaker 1: deities behind him, behind the other gods, the worshiping and
Speaker 1: God is like, I am the King of Kings, the
Speaker 1: God of gods. Do not worship any of them, don't
Speaker 1: put any of them before me. I think it's just
Speaker 1: super interesting. So you shall not take the name of
Speaker 1: the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will
Speaker 1: not hold him guiltless who has taken his name in vain. Wow.
Speaker 1: So some people believe that taking the Lord's name in
Speaker 1: vain is you know, discussing while using God's name, but
Speaker 1: using the Lord's name in vain is saying I'm a
Speaker 1: Christian and representing God, but not but representing him in
Speaker 1: a like a bad way where you're making Christians look
Speaker 1: bad or you're making God look bad, you know, saying
Speaker 1: you know, like if I was a a Christian, saying
Speaker 1: I'm a Christian and I'm a God fearing Christian, and
Speaker 1: then I'm over here cussing people out and making people
Speaker 1: feel bad and slandering people. And you know, I am
Speaker 1: taking God's name in vain because I'm representing God, but
Speaker 1: I am doing it in vain. You know where it's
Speaker 1: it's it's detracting people from the faith. I'm not attracting
Speaker 1: people to the faith. I'm I'm pushing people away from
Speaker 1: the faith. That's part of using God's name in vain.
Speaker 1: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days
Speaker 1: you shall labor and do all your work. But the
Speaker 1: seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Speaker 1: In it you shall do no work. You nor your son,
Speaker 1: nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant,
Speaker 1: nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
Speaker 1: For in six days the Lord made the heavens and
Speaker 1: the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
Speaker 1: and rested the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the
Speaker 1: Sabbath day and hollowed it. Very very interesting. I love
Speaker 1: the fact that he says, for in six days the
Speaker 1: Lord made the heavens and the earth. Come on, guys,
Speaker 1: you know, thousand years, millions of years, billions of billions
Speaker 1: of years. It says that the Lord made the heavens
Speaker 1: and the earth and six days. I love it. So
Speaker 1: the Sabbath. Okay, So that's something I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people have issues with as well. You know, what
Speaker 1: when is the Sabbath? Why are you at church on Sunday?
Speaker 1: Uh is the Sabbath day for this seventh So it's Saturday, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I was just trying to look up to Shabbatan Hebrew.
Speaker 1: So it's Friday evening until Saturday evening. That's the Sabbath.
Speaker 1: What's very interesting to me is what day in America
Speaker 1: does everybody go out to party and to drink and
Speaker 1: to do all the crazy stuff that I used to
Speaker 1: do back in the day. Friday night, the moon is right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Friday night, which is the
Speaker 1: day of the Sabbath. That is the day that everybody says,
Speaker 1: it's the weekend. It's time to go and party. It's
Speaker 1: time to go and hang out with these women and
Speaker 1: to do drugs and to drink and to fournicue and
Speaker 1: to do all this crazy stuff. It's Friday night, right,
Speaker 1: go gamble, let's go do this because it's the weekend.
Speaker 1: And that's so interesting that that's how what the Sabbath is,
Speaker 1: and those are the times that the world is pushing
Speaker 1: us to celebrate, to party, to do things. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you can't have fun as a Christian.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is that, uh, it's just funny how
Speaker 1: the world pushes that on us. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that you can't have fun as a Christian, like you
Speaker 1: can go out and have sex with different women all that.
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: you're able to celebrate God. Man, You're able to still
Speaker 1: have fun. You know, it's not it's not like it's
Speaker 1: you just have a boring life. You know, you could
Speaker 1: definitely have fun with the Lord. Now what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: to you, you know, is you're gonna be convicted in
Speaker 1: areas that you weren't convicted before, believe me. And you're
Speaker 1: gonna know when you're doing right and when you're doing wrong.
Speaker 1: And not all of us get that right, believe me.
Speaker 1: So now the Lord's Day for Catholics, for Protestants, uh,
Speaker 1: they celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday or they go to
Speaker 1: church on Sundays. Now, what what I would say, you know,
Speaker 1: is what I would say is I think it's interesting,
Speaker 1: like I think we should honor the I think we
Speaker 1: should honor God every day. I think we should celebrate
Speaker 1: God every day. I think we should read the Bible
Speaker 1: every day. You know, I think that if you have
Speaker 1: a day that is the Sabbath, whether it's Friday to Saturday,
Speaker 1: or whether it's Saturday to Sunday night or Sunday evening
Speaker 1: to our Sunday morning to Sunday night. Whatever day that
Speaker 1: you're gonna use is the Sabbath day. You should you
Speaker 1: should have a day like that for sure. But sometimes
Speaker 1: it's not gonna fall on Friday evening to Saturday evening,
Speaker 1: you know. Like the Jews in Israel, they they they
Speaker 1: they they have they use that, you know, they do
Speaker 1: Friday evening to Saturday evening. Hey, that's great, you know,
Speaker 1: That's that's what tradition says to do. And uh, that's
Speaker 1: that's what I think is is important. But I think
Speaker 1: that we should have a Sabbath day period, you know,
Speaker 1: and and if it ends up being Sunday, or it
Speaker 1: ends up being Saturday and ends up being Friday, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just think we need it. It's important
Speaker 1: to have that day of rest. That's the point, you know.
Speaker 1: And also on the Sabbath, if you are celebrating the Sabbath,
Speaker 1: and let's say you are doing it like uh like uh,
Speaker 1: the Bible says, uh, Jesus obviously says that if somebody's
Speaker 1: in need or in trouble or something's happening, you need
Speaker 1: to help that person. If you're gonna heal somebody, you
Speaker 1: need to heal them. If a donkey falls in the lake,
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick the donkey out of the lake. Even
Speaker 1: though it's a Sabbath, so it's important to UH to
Speaker 1: to to do the Sabbath. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's like people get so legalistic with it. They start
Speaker 1: getting even when people hearing what I'm saying right now.
Speaker 2: That you said Sunday, Oh, that's well pagan, that's that's
Speaker 2: freaking Jesuit.
Speaker 1: Like now, I'm just all I'm telling you is I
Speaker 1: think you should have a Sabbath day. That's I think
Speaker 1: that's good. You have a Sabbath day, have a day
Speaker 1: that you do that, have a day that you rest.
Speaker 1: God has given you that rest. But it's also you're
Speaker 1: spending time with the Lord. And if you spend time
Speaker 1: with the Lord all day Saturday instead of Friday evening
Speaker 1: to Saturday, I think God's gonna be upset. No, God
Speaker 1: just wants you to have that Sabbath day. It's a
Speaker 1: blessing God mate, the day holy. Yes, But uh you know,
Speaker 1: remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. It's it. But
Speaker 1: we should try to be holy all all week, you know.
Speaker 1: Don't just be like, hey, on Sundays, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: holy and then all the other days I'm not, you know.
Speaker 1: And and I'm guilty of this too. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do what I do, you know, and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a very it's a very tough life. I'll just say that,
Speaker 1: the Christian walk, it's very hard because there's so much
Speaker 1: out there to to stop us from from being holy.
Speaker 1: So that's that's my little take on that. The next
Speaker 1: one is gonna be Honor your father and your mother,
Speaker 1: that your days maybe be long upon the land which
Speaker 1: the Lord your God has given you. So hold on, guys,
Speaker 1: let me turn the volume down on my breen. You
Speaker 1: can't have that plan now. Let's see, sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Let's do this.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that quiets it down anyway. Sorry. Honor your father
Speaker 1: and mother. Honor your father. Honor your father and your mother,
Speaker 1: that your days may be long upon the land which
Speaker 1: the Lord your God is giving you. Okay, So honor
Speaker 1: your father and mother. Okay, now, yes, this is super important.
Speaker 1: Honor your father, and your mother. You know, you got
Speaker 1: to understand that that your your parents, they they they
Speaker 1: got together, they had you. We know how difficult it
Speaker 1: is once you do have kids, How hard it is
Speaker 1: to raise kids, how hard it is to pay attention
Speaker 1: to all of them, How hard it is to give
Speaker 1: them all the love that you need to give them,
Speaker 1: How hard it is to to you know, sleepless nights
Speaker 1: and go to work all day and come home and
Speaker 1: you know it's how hard it is to do all
Speaker 1: these things. You know, how hard was it for your parents.
Speaker 1: Even if your parents were not the best parents in
Speaker 1: the world by your standards, understand that your parents went
Speaker 1: through a lot to have you, a lot to bring
Speaker 1: into this world, a lot to feed you. They went
Speaker 1: through so much stress and so much stuff that you
Speaker 1: need to honor them now, even if they are jerks
Speaker 1: to you, or even if they are a certain way
Speaker 1: to you, you need to honor them anyways, because God
Speaker 1: wants you to forgive. God wants you to honor them.
Speaker 1: And if you honor them and they're being bad to you,
Speaker 1: then that sin is on them. It's not on you.
Speaker 1: You are You don't fight fire with fire. There you
Speaker 1: fight fire that they're trying to do to you. With
Speaker 1: grace and grace and grace, Okay, the sin will be
Speaker 1: on them, not on you. You are giving grace, you
Speaker 1: are being loving, and you are honoring them. If they're
Speaker 1: not honoring you back, that's on them. So all I
Speaker 1: say is I think it's important to honor your father
Speaker 1: and mother. You know, my mom, I love her. She
Speaker 1: my dad has passed away. He's gone now. And my
Speaker 1: dad did some things in his life that obviously I
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate, and you know, but I forgive him. I
Speaker 1: love him, but he did certain things, you know, but
Speaker 1: I always was still there for him and I still
Speaker 1: loved him, you know. So my mom, she's always been
Speaker 1: there for me, and she's been through a lot in
Speaker 1: her life. And you know, to this day, she listens
Speaker 1: to my podcast, she listens to my show. We always
Speaker 1: we talk all the time. I wish she lived closer
Speaker 1: than me. She lives in Ohio, but I'm in California.
Speaker 1: But a man honor that following her mother. It's very important.
Speaker 1: But one thing that's important, though, is you also are
Speaker 1: gonna get married, and you're gonna break away from your
Speaker 1: father and your mother. They no longer. Once you're an
Speaker 1: adult and you're out of the house, you don't let
Speaker 1: them start controlling your life. Okay, you honor them, yes,
Speaker 1: but you now are your own father and mother now
Speaker 1: of your own family. So you don't go relying on
Speaker 1: mom and data. You get out and you do your thing,
Speaker 1: and now you're separated from them. You honor them still,
Speaker 1: but now you are your own father or mother over
Speaker 1: your family. You see what I mean. So people need
Speaker 1: to understand that. I see a lot of people letting
Speaker 1: their parents still rule their life. You know, come on,
Speaker 1: all right, so we have you shall not murder. So
Speaker 1: this one is obvious. You know, we should not murder.
Speaker 1: We should not take somebody's life. We should not take
Speaker 1: somebody's life with malice. We should not try to go
Speaker 1: out there and plot to kill somebody. Now, if you
Speaker 1: are in your own home protecting your family and a
Speaker 1: thief comes into your home or your house, that is
Speaker 1: called killing. That is not called murder. Now. Another thing
Speaker 1: that people try to tell you is that if you
Speaker 1: go to war, that it's accepted and it's not murder.
Speaker 1: And that's what it seems to be in the Bible.
Speaker 1: But these people that are fighting these wars as we know,
Speaker 1: or they're not fighting these wars for God. They're not
Speaker 1: out there fighting it for I don't care if it's
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I don't care if it's anybody you think
Speaker 1: is a good person, you know, or whatever you think
Speaker 1: about these these presidents and those guys are Kennedy was great,
Speaker 1: this person is. They're all not fighting any war for God.
Speaker 1: And just because that somebody's an enemy to the United
Speaker 1: States doesn't mean they're an enemy to God. Okay, So
Speaker 1: we need to understand that. So it's very hard. But sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, you do go to battle and you do
Speaker 1: end up killing people while you're in battle, and that's
Speaker 1: something you need to take up with the Lord, you know.
Speaker 1: Thank God, Thank you Lord, thank you Jesus, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you for not allowing me
Speaker 1: to go into combat and having to kill somebody. I
Speaker 1: was in a combat zone, uh, combat area, you know.
Speaker 1: I went to Kuwait. I'm feeling helicopters. The combat area
Speaker 1: was probably like forty miles away, you know, so I
Speaker 1: wasn't wasn't having to kill, but I really had to
Speaker 1: battle with that as a soldier like about you know,
Speaker 1: with I was battling that and uh, and you know
Speaker 1: you talk to talk to the chaplain about that, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're there, and they'll tell you like, oh, well, god,
Speaker 1: you know you're here fighting for America. So you know
Speaker 1: they'll tell you too, like like, hey, you know, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be murdered. It's not gonna be murdered. It's
Speaker 1: gonna you know, because you're you're in battle and you're
Speaker 1: in war, and you know, and and you know that's
Speaker 1: the thing that you know you have to take up
Speaker 1: with with with the Lord. But I just think it's
Speaker 1: important to know that later when we go over the
Speaker 1: laws and Leviticus, if a thief comes into your home
Speaker 1: and you end up killing them, then you were protecting
Speaker 1: your family. That's different than murder. Okay, you shall not commit.
Speaker 1: Adultery is another one, and that one's very hard. You know.
Speaker 1: That's something that and you know that I've battled with
Speaker 1: in my life a long time ago, and also a
Speaker 1: lot of people battle with right now. And adultery is
Speaker 1: is uh. Jesus says that if you think of another woman,
Speaker 1: think about having sex with another woman, you know you've
Speaker 1: already committed it. You know, if you if you go
Speaker 1: beyond just looking at a woman and you start thinking
Speaker 1: about having sex with them, then you basically have already
Speaker 1: committed adultery. So that's very hard for so many men nowadays, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, or even back then or any time, you know,
Speaker 1: because people just have us uh we're raised as men,
Speaker 1: you know, especially in America to you know, your your
Speaker 1: dad or your friends are always like, hey, look at
Speaker 1: that girl, or look at that butt, or you know,
Speaker 1: you have Instagram and you have all these different things
Speaker 1: that are out there to try to bait you. The
Speaker 1: devil can bait you into committing adultery with your mind
Speaker 1: without even having to physically do it. Pornography, you know,
Speaker 1: where you're you're looking at pornography and you're you're basically
Speaker 1: committing adultery that way because you're thinking about having sex
Speaker 1: with that woman or whatever. You know. So that's just
Speaker 1: you know, you go to the gym and people talk
Speaker 1: to people at work, and you know, it just it
Speaker 1: happens so much, you know, and divorce rate is so
Speaker 1: high in America. It's it's it's just crazy. And it's
Speaker 1: because that's that sin is so readily available, and Satan
Speaker 1: uses all this stuff to to just you know, bring
Speaker 1: you further and further away from God, you know. And
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is happening in the church, happening
Speaker 1: with pastors, it's happening with people you think are the
Speaker 1: best people in the world. Man. Sometimes the scandal will
Speaker 1: pop up and and it's a you know, in military, right,
Speaker 1: I was in the army. That's something that's that's very
Speaker 1: hard for a lot of people in the military that
Speaker 1: are deployed. A lot of relationships get broken up because
Speaker 1: of that. And uh, you know, you need to make
Speaker 1: sure you're there for your wife and there for your
Speaker 1: family or that kind of stuff pops up. You shall
Speaker 1: not steal. Ah, Yes, So that's a that's the thing
Speaker 1: you know obviously. Uh that and that's something that's big too, man.
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of which I found out
Speaker 1: from my wife that a lot of women like to steal,
Speaker 1: you know. I I didn't even know that, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: I guess when you're a teenager. You know a lot
Speaker 1: of people, a lot of women go through this phase
Speaker 1: what they need makeup or they need this, and they
Speaker 1: just go into target and just you know, snatch it
Speaker 1: up and put it in their purse. A lot of
Speaker 1: men too. I'm not just trying to pick on women.
Speaker 1: But I had no idea to do that. People do
Speaker 1: that because when I was a kid, I would be like, man,
Speaker 1: that's hard for me to even take a pack of
Speaker 1: gum or a piece of gum, or it's hard for
Speaker 1: me to even take a quarter off someone's laundry or
Speaker 1: washing machine. I just had this thing in me that
Speaker 1: was instilled. Not saying I was a perfect angel, but
Speaker 1: when it comes to stealing for some reason, but when
Speaker 1: it came to other stuff, I would definitely do it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, for some reason I had that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you shall not steal. Now, think about this too, when
Speaker 1: it's something that you know people that are in jail
Speaker 1: are not obviously they're not holy. There there are some
Speaker 1: that have made it to the Lord. But you notice
Speaker 1: that when you do certain things like this in jail,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get dealt with, and one of them is stealing.
Speaker 1: You know, if you steal for somebody in jail, you
Speaker 1: and you know you're a known thief, you are now
Speaker 1: marked and they they will definitely take care of you.
Speaker 1: So stealing is something that is very sneaky and very
Speaker 1: especially if you steal from one of your friends, or
Speaker 1: you start doing fraud, or you start stealing people's credit.
Speaker 1: I mean it can cause some major problems, you know,
Speaker 1: major problems. And you steal from some people, You're gonna
Speaker 1: get killed. There's no joke. So these are very important things.
Speaker 1: The commandments that God is giving us that are super
Speaker 1: important for our life, that we should definitely follow. You
Speaker 1: shall not bear false, false witness against your neighbor's I'm
Speaker 1: noticing that happening right now in the community, that the
Speaker 1: truth or community right now, that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are bearing false witness against their neighbor. I'm noticing it's
Speaker 1: happening right now, a lot of division and the truth
Speaker 1: or community about certain issues and certain things. And I'm
Speaker 1: seeing that right now, and I'm seeing it, and I'm
Speaker 1: feeling like, wow, the devil is just laughing at uh,
Speaker 1: these some of the people right now and just tap
Speaker 1: dancing all over them because they're they're bearing false witness
Speaker 1: against their neighbor and you know, lying and stuff like
Speaker 1: that about there, about what people are doing and and
Speaker 1: just yes, it's not uh, it's not good. I could
Speaker 1: I could look up with the actual knowingly lie or
Speaker 1: to make a false statement, especially in a legal setting.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Now, I'd have to know what
Speaker 1: the biblical false witness in the Bible is, someone who
Speaker 1: intentionally lies about another person to make them seem guilty
Speaker 1: when they are innocent. You see how that could be
Speaker 1: bad speaking falsely in a way, lying or speaking unjustly
Speaker 1: against someone to damage their reputation. So the person is
Speaker 1: innocent and you are saying they are guilty. You see,
Speaker 1: there's that bearing false witness against your neighbors happening all
Speaker 1: throughout the flat earth community right now. It's going crazy
Speaker 1: and people are lying here and people are it's just
Speaker 1: as the nuts. So yeah, we need to learn from
Speaker 1: what the Bible is saying here. Don't do that. There's
Speaker 1: one judge, you know, there's one judge. You know, God
Speaker 1: is the judge. We are not the judge. So we
Speaker 1: need to stop doing that. You know. We need to
Speaker 1: let God, you know, bring it to the Lord, pray
Speaker 1: to God, put it at the altar, and let God
Speaker 1: handle it. We are not the ones that are to
Speaker 1: be out here mocking people, bearing false witness, saying you're
Speaker 1: a liar, and let me catch you in this, let
Speaker 1: me do this, let me do that. We gotta be
Speaker 1: careful with it. And I to myself, man, because sometimes
Speaker 1: I do conspiracy podcasts. That's why. Man, Sometimes I gotta
Speaker 1: understand that this Bible study stuff I'm doing for you
Speaker 1: guys is the most important. The conspiracy stuff is very fun.
Speaker 1: I love it. I like to dig into it. I
Speaker 1: like to you know, conspiracy to the Bible and this,
Speaker 1: and it gets real cool in the deep and the
Speaker 1: loller research. Yeah, it's fun. But the most important thing
Speaker 1: I could do for you guys is this right here,
Speaker 1: right now, studying the Word of God for you and
Speaker 1: I and I. Sometimes I get I get sucked off,
Speaker 1: like to a different area of and I and I
Speaker 1: get put into it sucked off. I'm sorry, I said that.
Speaker 1: I meant like, I get pushed into a different area
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, I'm studying something, and then I
Speaker 1: in like the like the Final Experiment, for example. I
Speaker 1: got sucked into that so much that I started studying
Speaker 1: that and I started doing a show on that. I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: I gotta, I'm sorry, I gotta get back. I gotta,
Speaker 1: I gotta get back into the Word, you know, And
Speaker 1: this is the most important right here. So I just
Speaker 1: want to let you guys know that I love the
Speaker 1: fact that you guys even allow me to do this
Speaker 1: a Bible study with you. You know, I really appreciate
Speaker 1: every one of you, anyone that's listening right now. I
Speaker 1: just want to let you know I appreciate you because
Speaker 1: I need this just as much as you need it.
Speaker 1: You know, I need it too, And I don't want
Speaker 1: to present stuff to you unless I've studied it. So
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Well, that's why I would sometimes I
Speaker 1: might do a show on something else because it's like
Speaker 1: I want to I don't want to come to you
Speaker 1: guys without studying some of this stuff first. You know,
Speaker 1: so you shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall
Speaker 1: not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor
Speaker 1: his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor
Speaker 1: anything that is your neighbors. This is very interesting because
Speaker 1: this has to do with something in the mind. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not physically doing an activity. This is coveting
Speaker 1: your neighbor's house. This is wanting something that your neighbor has.
Speaker 1: This is looking into your neighbor's garage saying I wish
Speaker 1: I had that wish I had that. I'm not happy
Speaker 1: with my car, I'm not happy with my wife. This
Speaker 1: has to do with pornography too, because what you're doing
Speaker 1: when you're watching pornography and stuff is you're covering that woman,
Speaker 1: and that woman is probably someone's wife. You know. That's
Speaker 1: that's just letting you know. But this has to do
Speaker 1: something with your mind actually not even doing a physical act.
Speaker 1: This has to do with thinking about it. So that
Speaker 1: is very interesting to me. This is the This is
Speaker 1: an interesting one that has to do with your thoughts,
Speaker 1: you know, your heart. So I think that's fascinating. So
Speaker 1: now we're gonna go to So that's the ten commandments
Speaker 1: laid out for you. Kind of did my best to
Speaker 1: explain they know certain things here and there, just to
Speaker 1: just so you understand and you know. So now we're
Speaker 1: gonna go to UH chapter twenty, verse eighteen. It says
Speaker 1: the people afraid of God's presence. Now all the people
Speaker 1: witness the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet,
Speaker 1: and the mountains smoking. And when the people saw it,
Speaker 1: they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses,
Speaker 1: you speak with us, and we will hear, but not
Speaker 1: let God speak with us lest we die. So they
Speaker 1: were saying, basically, you speak with us, will listen, cool,
Speaker 1: but don't let God speak to us because we already
Speaker 1: scared of the lightning, the thunder, the flashes, the trumpet,
Speaker 1: And they're very intimidated at this point. They're afraid of
Speaker 1: God's presence. And Moses said to the people, do not fear,
Speaker 1: for God has come to test you, and that His
Speaker 1: fear may be before you, that you may not sin.
Speaker 1: So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near
Speaker 1: the thick darkness where God was. That's what I told you, man,
Speaker 1: Moses has some courage here, some courage like I couldn't
Speaker 1: even imagine what this scene looked like. And Moses is
Speaker 1: gonna walk into the dark that's where God was. Like
Speaker 1: he had faith. He had faith right here. You could
Speaker 1: tell the law of the altars what this is called.
Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses, thus you shall say
Speaker 1: to the chilset of Israel, you have seen that I
Speaker 1: have talked with you from heaven. You shall not make
Speaker 1: anything be with you, Gods of silver or gods of gold.
Speaker 1: You shall not make for yourselves an altar of earth
Speaker 1: you shall make for me, and you shall sacrifice on
Speaker 1: it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep,
Speaker 1: your oxen. In every place where I record my name,
Speaker 1: I will come to you, and I will bless you.
Speaker 1: And if you make me an altar of stone, you
Speaker 1: shall not build it of hoombstone, for if you use
Speaker 1: your tool on it, you profaned it. Nor shall you
Speaker 1: go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness
Speaker 1: may be exposed on it. So the strict rules that
Speaker 1: God is placing and just letting you know, you know,
Speaker 1: like I guess certain things that God just needs you
Speaker 1: to do before you build that altar. Now we're gonna
Speaker 1: go with Exodus twenty one, Verse one. Now these are
Speaker 1: the judgments what you shall set for set before them.
Speaker 1: If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years,
Speaker 1: and the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing.
Speaker 1: It becomes in by himself, he shall go out by himself.
Speaker 1: It becomes in married, then his wife shall go out
Speaker 1: with him. If his master has given him a wife,
Speaker 1: then he and she was born him sons or daughters.
Speaker 1: The wife and her children shall be her masters, and
Speaker 1: he shall go out by himself. But if the servant
Speaker 1: plainly says, I love my master, my wife, and my children,
Speaker 1: I will go out for go out free, I will not.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I will not go out free. Then his
Speaker 1: master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also
Speaker 1: bring him to the door and to the door posts.
Speaker 1: And his master shall pierce his ear with an all,
Speaker 1: and he shall serve him forever. So people will freak
Speaker 1: out about this verse and say, oh, my goodness, look
Speaker 1: at this. Slavery is in the Bible. Oh my, what's
Speaker 1: going on now? This is a first of all, this
Speaker 1: is a total different time than we're in right now,
Speaker 1: and we need to understand that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get too much into the slavery thing, because, like I said,
Speaker 1: people will flip out about this verse and be like, look, well,
Speaker 1: my goodness, I can't believe this law. And especially atheist
Speaker 1: you know that the Bible talks about slavery. Well, they
Speaker 1: got to study it first and find out what why
Speaker 1: someone's a servant in the first place. You owe a debt,
Speaker 1: you know, So when if I was like, I'm working
Speaker 1: for my employee right now, right, I'm in debt to
Speaker 1: what my house, my cars, actually my cars are paid off.
Speaker 1: But I'm in debt to my house. Right, So I'm
Speaker 1: in debt. I'm a slave right now too. And I
Speaker 1: and I work a job, and I'm a slave to
Speaker 1: my employer. I will I'm literally on call twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven for my employer. I am a slave to that,
Speaker 1: to that phone. Okay, it calls me. I have to
Speaker 1: check the system, look at the water. I gotta do.
Speaker 1: I gotta do all these different things. My boss calls me,
Speaker 1: even if I'm off o work, He'll call me, Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going. I see that this emergency popped up
Speaker 1: or this popped up? What's going on? So I am
Speaker 1: a slave to my job. No, I'm an employee. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm an employee to my job. Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm a slave, and I'm in debt to all these
Speaker 1: places I have to pay. I'm in debt to my
Speaker 1: car payment. I'm in debt or not car payment, alright,
Speaker 1: I'm in debt to the solar bill. I'm in debt
Speaker 1: to Edison, I'm in debt to the water company. I'm
Speaker 1: in debt to these different things. And uh, you know, insurance,
Speaker 1: whatever you gotta pay. We're in debt, so we owe.
Speaker 1: So whether you're a Hebrew servant and you're living in
Speaker 1: their household and you're you know, you're you know, you're
Speaker 1: getting food three meals a day, it's the same thing
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. We're basically in debt for to
Speaker 1: feed our children, to feed our families, and in debt
Speaker 1: to Vond's or whatever. Heck, you buy groceries from Walmart
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. So it's still here.
Speaker 1: It's like it's basically it's full circle. And I don't
Speaker 1: care what people say. We're still slaves to this day,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So we'll continue. And if
Speaker 1: a man sells his daughter to be a female slave,
Speaker 1: she saw go out as the male slaves do. And
Speaker 1: if she does not please her master, who was bethralled
Speaker 1: her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed.
Speaker 1: He shall have no right to sell her to a
Speaker 1: foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her, and
Speaker 1: he has bothered I'll be be thralled. Sorry, I don't
Speaker 1: know why I can apologize. Be thralled her to his son.
Speaker 1: He shall deal with her according to the custom of
Speaker 1: the daughters. And if he takes another wife, he shall
Speaker 1: not diminish her food, her clothing, her marriage rights. And
Speaker 1: he does not do these three for her, as she
Speaker 1: shall go out free without paying money. All right, So
Speaker 1: that's on a servant's law concerning servants. So now just
Speaker 1: let you know I didn't get all the way to
Speaker 1: Exodus twenty one. I got to study till twenty and
Speaker 1: then I finished. I didn't get to study these, so
Speaker 1: some of this stuff will be new to me. You know,
Speaker 1: I've obviously gone over before, but I haven't, like recently
Speaker 1: read it, so it'll be new to me. How didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to study this too much. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go over this, and you know it'll be both
Speaker 1: of us can go over it together. The law concerning violence,
Speaker 1: he who strikes a man so that he dies shall
Speaker 1: surely be put to death. However, if he did not
Speaker 1: lie in wait, but God delivered him into his hands,
Speaker 1: then I will appoint you for a place where he
Speaker 1: may flee. But if a man acts with premeditation against
Speaker 1: his neighbor to kill him by treachery, you shall take
Speaker 1: him from my altar, and he may die. And he
Speaker 1: who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be
Speaker 1: put to death. You see that, That's how it used
Speaker 1: to be. He who kidnaps a man and sells him,
Speaker 1: or if he has found in his hand, shall surely
Speaker 1: be put to death. Now listen, I definitely agree with that. Man.
Speaker 1: If you take somebody against their will, you cannap a kid,
Speaker 1: you can have a wife, somebody's wife. You kidnap people
Speaker 1: against their will, and you just take them. Man, I
Speaker 1: understand why they were put to death. Believe me, because
Speaker 1: if somebody kidnaped my kids would I would understand why
Speaker 1: someone want to put someone to death or why they
Speaker 1: should be put to death. And he who curses his
Speaker 1: father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
Speaker 1: Now that's very interesting. You curse them? What does that
Speaker 1: hold on? I like to find out. Let's see really quick,
Speaker 1: Exodus twenty one. It's going to be seventeen, twenty one, seventeen.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff you gotta do. You
Speaker 1: got to you gotta look in the concordance and find
Speaker 1: out what what does that work? Curse? Curses even mean
Speaker 1: to be light, be swift, be trifling, be of little account,
Speaker 1: be light, to be slight abated, so to be despicable
Speaker 1: to curse. So so yeah, so it looks like that
Speaker 1: that word cursed is to be trifling, to like screw
Speaker 1: them over, to do something that's that's that's really bad.
Speaker 1: I don't think cursing is like to curse him out.
Speaker 1: I think it's like you be in trifling to them,
Speaker 1: to do something that's that's terrible to them, you know.
Speaker 1: So you shall be put to death if men contend
Speaker 1: with each other and one strikes the other with a
Speaker 1: stone or with his fist, and he does not die,
Speaker 1: but is confined to his bed. If he rises again
Speaker 1: and walks about outside with his staff, then he who
Speaker 1: struck him shall shall be acquitted. He shall only pay
Speaker 1: for the loss of his time, and shall provide him
Speaker 1: uh to be thoroughly healed. So you should pay for them,
Speaker 1: you know, till until he's healed. First of all, I
Speaker 1: don't think you should strike people with stones, you know,
Speaker 1: with your fist. I mean, I don't think you should
Speaker 1: strike people with fist either, But I can understand where
Speaker 1: that laws in place for sure. And if a man
Speaker 1: beats his male or female servant with the rod so
Speaker 1: that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished, notwithstanding,
Speaker 1: if he remains alive a day or two, he should
Speaker 1: not be punished for he is for it is for
Speaker 1: he shall not be punished for he is his property.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. If a man beats his male or female
Speaker 1: servant with the rod so that he dies under his hand,
Speaker 1: he shall surely be punished, notwithstanding if he remains alive
Speaker 1: a day or two, he should not be punished. Okay,
Speaker 1: I see what it says. If men fight and hurt
Speaker 1: a woman with child, with the child with child so
Speaker 1: that he she gives birth prematurely, like if a man
Speaker 1: hurts a woman that's pregnant and she gives birth prematurely
Speaker 1: like causes it a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows,
Speaker 1: he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband
Speaker 1: imposes on him. He shall pay as the judges determined.
Speaker 1: But if any harm follows, that you shall give life
Speaker 1: for life, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
Speaker 1: hand for a hand, foot for a foot, burn for burn,
Speaker 1: wound for wound, stripe for stripe. That's just the way
Speaker 1: that God wanted it. And you know, capital punishment. That's
Speaker 1: something that I think it's really interesting that people will
Speaker 1: fight and fight and fight for people not to have
Speaker 1: the death penalty, but they won't fight and fight and
Speaker 1: fight for abortions not to happen. I think that's freaking ridiculous. So,
Speaker 1: and you know what, I think that the court system
Speaker 1: needs to be one hundred percent that that person definitely
Speaker 1: committed that murder, because I have seen people get framed
Speaker 1: and all this stuff that cops do. Detectives said, it
Speaker 1: kind of becomes a very sticky situation. But if a
Speaker 1: man strikes the eye of his male or female servant
Speaker 1: and destroys it, he shall let him go free for
Speaker 1: the sake of his eye. And if he knocks out
Speaker 1: the tooth of his male female servant, he shall let
Speaker 1: him go free for the sake of his tooth. So basically,
Speaker 1: don't beat your servants, you know, don't be a jerk,
Speaker 1: and don't be your help animal control laws. If an
Speaker 1: ox gores a man or a woman to death, then
Speaker 1: the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall
Speaker 1: not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall
Speaker 1: be acquitted. But if the ox tended to thrust with
Speaker 1: its horn in times past, and it has made known
Speaker 1: to its owner that he has not yet kept it confined,
Speaker 1: so that it has killed a man or woman, the
Speaker 1: ox shall be stoned, and its owner shall be put
Speaker 1: to death. If there is impose on him a sum
Speaker 1: of money, then he shall pay to redeem his life
Speaker 1: whatever is imposed on him, whether it is gored a
Speaker 1: son or gord a daughter. According to the judgment, it
Speaker 1: shall not be done to him. If the ox gorees
Speaker 1: a male or female servant, he shall give to their
Speaker 1: master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Speaker 1: If a man opens up a pit, or a man
Speaker 1: digs a pit and does not cover it, and an
Speaker 1: ox or a donkey falls in it, the owner of
Speaker 1: the pit shall make it good. He shall give money
Speaker 1: to the owner, but the dead animal shall be his.
Speaker 1: If the man's ox hurts another so that it dies,
Speaker 1: that he shall sell the live ox and divide the
Speaker 1: money from it, and the dead ox shall also divide.
Speaker 1: Or if it's known that the ox tended to thrust
Speaker 1: in the time past, and the owner is not yet
Speaker 1: kept it confined, he shall surely pay ox for ox,
Speaker 1: and the dead animal shall be his own. Exodus twenty two,
Speaker 1: Verse one is where We're gonna be So these are
Speaker 1: all rules and everything for the for the for the Israelites.
Speaker 1: You got to understand, there's two million of them. They're
Speaker 1: all living amongst each other. There's probably a little bit
Speaker 1: of chaos happening. They don't have these rules, these regulations.
Speaker 1: Things are happening that that we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1: Jethro was speaking to Moses and he's telling them you
Speaker 1: need to have judges, you need to have this that.
Speaker 1: So these are probably the things that Moses was dealing with,
Speaker 1: that he was having problems with, and God put it
Speaker 1: in order. Right. Some of these might not we might
Speaker 1: not agree with. We might think like, hey, this during
Speaker 1: modern times. Now, this this stuff we don't I know,
Speaker 1: you might think, oh, I don't think we should. I
Speaker 1: don't really agree with this in modern times. And what
Speaker 1: we got to understand ISUS died on the cross for us, right,
Speaker 1: so be glad, these these are these are made for
Speaker 1: a covenant with Israel. Right. This is not like you know,
Speaker 1: even though you know, I think the Church is Israel.
Speaker 1: Now we got to understand, so you might not agree
Speaker 1: with certain things, but understand that this is for these
Speaker 1: people at this time, and we need to make sure
Speaker 1: that that, uh, you know, pay attention to what's happening,
Speaker 1: but we need to know the context of some of
Speaker 1: this stuff and don't take it out of proportion. Don't
Speaker 1: take it with out of context, and understand what's going
Speaker 1: on here and the stuff that Moses is dealing with. Right,
Speaker 1: if you didn't go and read Genesis or Exodus sixteen
Speaker 1: seventeen and or read Exodus one all the way to seventeen,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even understand why any of these laws would
Speaker 1: have to be in place in the first place. You
Speaker 1: didn't understand the stuff that Moses was going through, you
Speaker 1: would you would think like, hey, well, God's probably just
Speaker 1: coming down giving all these laws. That's not what's happening.
Speaker 1: Like these people needed these laws so that Moses, excuse me,
Speaker 1: has less stress on him and now they know what
Speaker 1: laws to follow, you know. So I think it's important.
Speaker 1: Obviously God knows best right and these are probably things,
Speaker 1: like I said, that Moses was dealing with that God
Speaker 1: put in order. You know, God is a god of order, right,
Speaker 1: so responsibility for property. If a man steals an ox
Speaker 1: or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he
Speaker 1: shall restore five oxen or an ox and four sheep
Speaker 1: for his sheep. If the thief is found breaking in
Speaker 1: and he has struck so that he dies, there shall
Speaker 1: be no guilt for his bloodshed. This is the part
Speaker 1: that I was talking about. So this is called killing
Speaker 1: and not murdering. If the sun has risen on him,
Speaker 1: there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make
Speaker 1: full restitution. If he has nothing, he shall be sold
Speaker 1: for his If the theft is certainly found alive in
Speaker 1: his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep,
Speaker 1: he shall restore double. So stop stealing, little thiefs. If
Speaker 1: a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed
Speaker 1: and let loose his animal, and it feeds another man's field,
Speaker 1: he shall make restitution for the best of his own
Speaker 1: field and the best of his own vineyard. If fire
Speaker 1: breaks out and catches and thorns so that the stacked grains,
Speaker 1: stacked standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who
Speaker 1: kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. Speaking of that,
Speaker 1: I live in Rialto, California. Okay, these fires in LA
Speaker 1: are going off, so it's going crazy. So pray, you know, pray,
Speaker 1: pray for these people. We know that in Maui there
Speaker 1: was like, you know, do direct energy weapons, all this
Speaker 1: different crazy stuff happening. There's a lot of conspiracy know
Speaker 1: about that, and as you guys know, but pray, you know,
Speaker 1: we see what's happening here. Man, We know that the
Speaker 1: great reset is upon us. So just pray. If a
Speaker 1: man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep,
Speaker 1: and it is stolen out of the man's house, if
Speaker 1: the thief is found, he shall pay double. If the
Speaker 1: thief is not found, then the master of the house
Speaker 1: shall be brought to the justes to see whether he
Speaker 1: has put his hand into his neighbor's goods. Let's go
Speaker 1: for any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox,
Speaker 1: a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind
Speaker 1: of lost thing which another claims to be this be his.
Speaker 1: The cause of both parties shall come before the judges,
Speaker 1: and whomever the judge condemned shall pay double to his neighbor.
Speaker 1: If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey or ox,
Speaker 1: a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies,
Speaker 1: is hurt or driven away no one seeing it, then
Speaker 1: the oath of the Lord shall be between them both.
Speaker 1: And he has not put his hand into his neighbor's goods.
Speaker 1: And the owner of it shall accept that he shall
Speaker 1: not make it good. But in fact it is stolen
Speaker 1: from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
Speaker 1: And it is torn to pieces by a beast, that
Speaker 1: he shall bring it has evidence he shall not make
Speaker 1: good that was good what was torn? Okay, So yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna when we we're gonna go through the Bible.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter, you know, even going through this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep going through the Bible no matter what,
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue this. You know. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: sometimes my mind is as it wanders as I'm reading.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, like I hope the people are understanding
Speaker 1: while I'm reading all this, because I want to go
Speaker 1: through the whole entire Bible, That's why. And I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that you understand that these laws are
Speaker 1: put in place for reasons, and we have to think
Speaker 1: about it. One thing we got to think about is
Speaker 1: can you imagine an anarchy? That would be terrible? So
Speaker 1: that's why there's laws put in place so that we
Speaker 1: have orderly conduct in life. And if a man borrows
Speaker 1: anything from his neighbor. And it becomes injured or dies
Speaker 1: the owner, the owner of it not being with it,
Speaker 1: he shall surely make it good. If his owner was
Speaker 1: with it, he shall not make it good if he
Speaker 1: was tired it came for its hire. Now we have
Speaker 1: moral and ceremonial principles. If a man entices a virgin
Speaker 1: who is not bethralled and lies with her, he shall
Speaker 1: surely pay the bride price for her to be his wife.
Speaker 1: If her father utterly refuses to give her to him,
Speaker 1: he shall pay money according to the bride price of virgins.
Speaker 1: You shall not permit a sorceress to live. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's interesting. You shall not permit a witch to live. Now,
Speaker 1: we got to understand that right. That is so. Witchcraft
Speaker 1: is an abomination to the Lord. Okay, you are using
Speaker 1: the power of Satan to do literally miracles and wonders.
Speaker 1: We've already gone through Exodus, and we saw that the
Speaker 1: magi or the magicians for the Egyptians, were going against Moses,
Speaker 1: who was using the Lord God's powers and the Satan's powers.
Speaker 1: And you know that when the Antichrist comes, he's gonna
Speaker 1: have lying signs and wonders signs in the heavens, He's
Speaker 1: gonna have Satan's power. Now, is it a surprise to
Speaker 1: use Christians or people that are listening. Is it a
Speaker 1: surprise that Satan has power? He does. So when you
Speaker 1: go and you start using Satan's power to do things,
Speaker 1: God right here says you shall not permit a devil
Speaker 1: worshiping sorcerer, whatever you want to say, to live. This
Speaker 1: is the law back then, right, because you don't understand
Speaker 1: what is causing you know, God wants. God wants the
Speaker 1: children of Israel to worship him. He is the one
Speaker 1: and only you see exactly what God wants. God is
Speaker 1: a jealous God. He doesn't want you to be worshiping
Speaker 1: other gods. He doesn't want you to be going to
Speaker 1: the enemy Satan and asking him for power and trying
Speaker 1: to use his power. He wants you to come to
Speaker 1: him and pray to him and and and have faith
Speaker 1: in Him. So when these sorcerers or these sorcereers, or
Speaker 1: these witches or are going around using Satan's power to
Speaker 1: ruin people's lives, to cause curses on people, to cause
Speaker 1: generational curses on people, to cause the leaders and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know in churches or whatever. Uh, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: these witches do, God, he hates it. It's an abomination
Speaker 1: to him when a witch is trying to talk to
Speaker 1: a demon and ask him for you know, can you
Speaker 1: help me do this? Can you help me this love spell?
Speaker 1: Can you help me with this spell? Can you help
Speaker 1: me curse these people? Can you help me do all
Speaker 1: these things? God, it's an abomination to the Lord, and
Speaker 1: he's telling him right there, the sorceress are not permitted
Speaker 1: to live. So you can understand how everything that you've
Speaker 1: studied as conspiracy theorist, how much God is probably not
Speaker 1: happy with Hollywood, with America, with everybody in the world
Speaker 1: right now. Basically, you know, there's so much witchcraft and
Speaker 1: sorcery and things going on in Hollywood, in movies, in Disney.
Speaker 1: What does every single thing start with a magical spell?
Speaker 1: Every movie starts with a magical spell? You know, or
Speaker 1: you know you see that The World and the six
Speaker 1: six six in Disney, and you know, if you look
Speaker 1: at Jamontry, I don't really do all that, but people
Speaker 1: do that, and they show like Walt Disney equals this
Speaker 1: and all this free Masonic crazy stuff that you see
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, and then the Hollywood Tree, you know, is
Speaker 1: all used for magicians. You know. There's so much stuff
Speaker 1: going on, you know, on a daily basis. And then
Speaker 1: you watch a program, you know, on a TV and
Speaker 1: you have to use a channel changer, you know, and
Speaker 1: you have a remote, you know, like remote viewing, and
Speaker 1: all these different spells that are casting on us with
Speaker 1: the human language. You see all this stuff, and it's
Speaker 1: all sorcery that's used on us. And we don't like it.
Speaker 1: I know, people that are awake don't like it. We
Speaker 1: see it. We can see it whenever there's movies that
Speaker 1: my kids might be watching. I see these little things
Speaker 1: that they're trying to end the windows are trying to
Speaker 1: push on our kids. That is witchcraft. They're trying to
Speaker 1: do that. So we don't like it. God doesn't like
Speaker 1: it either, you see what I mean. So that's why
Speaker 1: God is saying I should not permit them to live,
Speaker 1: because they are using Satan's power to do these things,
Speaker 1: and it's really deceitful and it's really evil, and it
Speaker 1: causes massive problems in these with the Israelites. You know,
Speaker 1: you can imagine, whoever lies with an animal shall surely
Speaker 1: be put to death best reality. You know, that's obviously
Speaker 1: just abomination to God. That is abomination, like that's you know,
Speaker 1: obviously that's disgusting, you know, but that's the kind of
Speaker 1: stuff that was happening before the flood, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like all evil. Everybody's thoughts were evil continually.
Speaker 1: Now that's another thing we got to think about before
Speaker 1: the flood. God doesn't want the people to go back
Speaker 1: to how they were before the flood. So he's putting
Speaker 1: all these rules and and stipulations and and and and
Speaker 1: he's making order out of the chaos that they have.
Speaker 1: He's making order out of that, you know what I mean, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: that's an order out of chaos. Is something that's that's
Speaker 1: uh free based onic. Let me to say it that way.
Speaker 1: What I mean is all the you know that's pretty
Speaker 1: chaotic in the camp, you know, with Moses. So God
Speaker 1: is just putting it in order, like he's helping the
Speaker 1: people have laws. He who sacrifices to any god except
Speaker 1: the Lord, he shall utterly destroyed. He shall be utterly destroyed.
Speaker 1: So if you're sacrificing to any god except the Lord,
Speaker 1: only you know, to bail the Moloch, you know all
Speaker 1: these different people, like dude, I mean, all these different entities.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's something behind them. They're not just some kind
Speaker 1: of figure standing there that that's a block of woods.
Speaker 1: They have no power like God has. You know, they
Speaker 1: have no power against someone that's a believer, you know,
Speaker 1: but they have power when you're not a believer. You
Speaker 1: got to think about that. They're using Satan's power. You
Speaker 1: shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you
Speaker 1: were strangers in the land of Egypt. You see, when
Speaker 1: I talked about Psalms eighty one eighty two to one,
Speaker 1: I was talking about that, you know, I should not
Speaker 1: judge the the the poor, you know, the iniquity, like
Speaker 1: like dude, like you shall not mistreat a stranger. So
Speaker 1: that's why, and you know, and and it's really it's
Speaker 1: really interesting that you see people like Abraham right when uh,
Speaker 1: when the three men they were supposedly men, but two
Speaker 1: of them were angels. One of them was I believe Jesus.
Speaker 1: They come, he makes that tells his wife to go
Speaker 1: make food, and and they and they welcome the people
Speaker 1: in and and the hospitality that they show and then
Speaker 1: like uh, just like lot when the two angels came,
Speaker 1: come into my house, Come sleep in my house. Don't
Speaker 1: sleep in the court. You see that? That? Uh, how
Speaker 1: they how they the hospitality that they showed. I kind
Speaker 1: of went over that in the Book of Genesis and
Speaker 1: all the hospitality and stuff. You know. So that's what
Speaker 1: God is saying. You shall neither mistreat a stranger or
Speaker 1: oppress them. Don't oppress. That's it's terrible to oppress. You
Speaker 1: shall not. Now that's racism too, right, racism, dude, Like
Speaker 1: like the devil was having you know, back on all
Speaker 1: this racism was happening and all that stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happens today still, but the devil was having
Speaker 1: a field day with that. Look look what the Bible says,
Speaker 1: do not oppress people, And look what was happening all
Speaker 1: through You know, man, bro, it's crazy. You shall not
Speaker 1: afflict any widow or fatherless child. If you afflict them
Speaker 1: in any way and they cry at all to me,
Speaker 1: I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath will
Speaker 1: become hot, and I will kill you with the sword.
Speaker 1: Your wife shall be widows and your children fatherless. Wow.
Speaker 1: Listen to that. Wow, you should you know that's really
Speaker 1: really interesting if you think about what happens in these
Speaker 1: inner cities and these gang bangers, and you know, their
Speaker 1: fatherless child children, some of them, even though they might
Speaker 1: have a father, they might be in prison, or there's
Speaker 1: no father at home. There's only a mother, right, And
Speaker 1: I know that maybe their father, maybe they died in
Speaker 1: a gang whatever, you know, whatever happens, maybe they're in life,
Speaker 1: in prison. They're basically like a fatherless child. Man, don't
Speaker 1: afflict them in any way, you know, Man, it's like,
Speaker 1: what's happening is that's happening all the time, you know.
Speaker 1: And if you lend money to any of my people
Speaker 1: who are poor among you, you shall not be like
Speaker 1: a Monday lender to him. You shall not charge him interest. Wow, Man,
Speaker 1: tell that to Visa, Tell that to MasterCard, Tell that
Speaker 1: to the solar company. That I tell that to the
Speaker 1: mortgage lenders. They put interest on the front end so
Speaker 1: that you barely play the principal your whole the whole
Speaker 1: time you're living. So by the time you do die,
Speaker 1: I mean you paid off the principle at all. You're
Speaker 1: just paying interest. So it's crazy if you ever take
Speaker 1: your neighbor's garment as a pledge you shall return it
Speaker 1: to him before the sun goes down, for that is
Speaker 1: for that is his only covering. It is his garment
Speaker 1: for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it'll
Speaker 1: be that he cries to me, I will here, for
Speaker 1: I am gracious. You shall not revile God nor curse
Speaker 1: a ruler of your people. You shall not revile God
Speaker 1: nor curse a ruler of your people. That's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: Definitely understand that not revile God, and you don't want
Speaker 1: to curse the ruler of your people. So it's kind
Speaker 1: of interesting that the ruler of the people. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: i'd have to look into that verse and see what,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I could look at the strong scre
Speaker 1: accordance to see if that word curse is the same Exodus.
Speaker 2: Twenty two, Exodus twenty two, twenty two, twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh wow, that shall not revile the ruler.
Speaker 1: I guess it's revile in the king James to be
Speaker 1: select to be swifter, trifling. Yeah, that's the same word.
Speaker 1: It's the same one. So yeah, anyways, you know, that'd
Speaker 1: be basically like a police officer. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: want to like trifle them because you'rena end up getting
Speaker 1: put in prison. Right, So it's basically they're saying, don't
Speaker 1: curse the ruler of your people, the ruler of the people,
Speaker 1: which I could find out what that means. The ruler.
Speaker 1: The ruler is one lifted up chief, prince, captain, leader,
Speaker 1: probably the leaders of the of the people, probably the
Speaker 1: elders that they chose. It says, do not curse the
Speaker 1: elder of your people. So in the context, basically the
Speaker 1: elders that are chose the judges. Don't curse them, right,
Speaker 1: don't trifle them, and then do not revile God. You
Speaker 1: shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce, produce,
Speaker 1: and your juice. Is the firstborn of your sons, you
Speaker 1: shall give to me. Likewise you shall do with your
Speaker 1: ox and your sheep. It shall be with its mother
Speaker 1: seven days. On the eighth day, you shall give it
Speaker 1: to me. You shall not delay to offer the first
Speaker 1: of your ripe produce and your juices. Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Your firstborn of your sons you shall give to me. Yep,
Speaker 1: So we already know about all that. And you shall
Speaker 1: be holy men to me. And you shall not eat
Speaker 1: meat torn by beast in the field. You shall throw
Speaker 1: it to the dogs, so don't pick up. Uh. I
Speaker 1: can't remember what it is right now. My mind is
Speaker 1: a little tired right now. Just let you guys know,
Speaker 1: I worked all day today, so by this time I'm
Speaker 1: always I'm a little bit tired. It's already eleven at night.
Speaker 1: Usually you guys catch me in the early morning rain.
Speaker 1: You guys usually catch me at five am doing this show.
Speaker 1: My wife is going to be out of town this weekend,
Speaker 1: so I have my kids by myself, so I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that I knocked this show out tonight instead.
Speaker 1: So I think that was I think that was a
Speaker 1: It was a great episode. I really enjoyed that one.
Speaker 1: I think that we're probably I could probably just do
Speaker 1: Exodus twenty two. I could probably just finish this off.
Speaker 1: That's what I'll do. Think I got about ten minutes,
Speaker 1: so I'll leave five minutes for prayer. So responsibility for proper.
Speaker 1: If a man steals an ox or a sheep and
Speaker 1: slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen
Speaker 1: or an ox and four sheep for a sheep. If
Speaker 1: the thief is found breaking in and he has struck
Speaker 1: that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
Speaker 1: It's saying it again. Letting you know. Man, you catch
Speaker 1: a thief in your house, trying to steal, trying to
Speaker 1: take your women, trying to take your kids, trying to
Speaker 1: do something bloodshed. If the sun has risen on him,
Speaker 1: there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. He should
Speaker 1: have make full restoration. If he has nothing, then he
Speaker 1: shall be sold for his theft. If the theft is
Speaker 1: certainly found alive in his hand, whether it be an ox,
Speaker 1: or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm actually rereading uh Exodus twenty two, which
Speaker 1: I've already gone through. My bad. Let's go back to
Speaker 1: UH Exodus twenty three. So it wasn't repeated, it was
Speaker 1: just on that spot. So justice for all Exodus twenty three.
Speaker 1: You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put
Speaker 1: your hand with the wicked to be unrighteous witness, to
Speaker 1: be an unrighteous witness. You shall not follow a crowd
Speaker 1: to do evil, Nor shall you testify in a dispute
Speaker 1: so as to turn aside for many of your pervert justice.
Speaker 1: You shall not show partiality to a poor man in
Speaker 1: his dispute. If you meet your enemy's ox or his
Speaker 1: donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to
Speaker 1: him again. If you see the donkey of one of
Speaker 1: who hates you lying under its burden, you would and
Speaker 1: you would refrain from helping it. You shall surely help
Speaker 1: him with it. So, yeah, make sure that you know, basically,
Speaker 1: just take care of your neighbor, even if you don't
Speaker 1: like him. You shall not pervert the judgment of the
Speaker 1: poor and his dispute. Keep yourself far from a false matter.
Speaker 1: Do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will
Speaker 1: not justify the wicked, and you shall take no bribe.
Speaker 1: A bribe blinds the discerning, It perverts the words of
Speaker 1: the righteous. Also, you shall not oppress a stranger, for
Speaker 1: if you know the heart of a stranger, because you
Speaker 1: were strangers in the land of Egypt. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: all makes sense for sure. The laws of the Sabbaths,
Speaker 1: All right, this is interesting. Six years you shall sow
Speaker 1: your land and gather in its produce, But the seventh
Speaker 1: year you shall let it rest and live. Follow that
Speaker 1: the poor of your people may eat, and that you
Speaker 1: will leave the beast of the field may eat in
Speaker 1: the in like manner, shall you do your vineyard and
Speaker 1: your olive grove. Six days you shall do your work,
Speaker 1: And on the seventh day you shall rest, and your
Speaker 1: ox and your donkey may rest in the son of
Speaker 1: your female servant, and the stranger may be refreshed. And
Speaker 1: in all that I have said to you, the circumspect,
Speaker 1: and make no mention of the name of the other gods,
Speaker 1: nor let it be heard from your mo mouth. Make
Speaker 1: no mention of the name of other gods, or let
Speaker 1: it be heard from your mouth. Wow, maybe I gotta
Speaker 1: be careful on that, because I was mentioning all these
Speaker 1: different gods. Three times you shall keep a feast to
Speaker 1: to me. In your year. You shall keep the feast
Speaker 1: of unloven bread. So yeah, these are these are annual feast.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Three times you shall keep a feast to me. In
Speaker 1: the year. You shall keep the feast of unloven bread.
Speaker 1: You shall eat unleven bread seven days, as I command
Speaker 1: you at the time appointed in the mouth of a
Speaker 1: bebe for in your for in you came out of Egypt.
Speaker 1: None shall appear before me empty. And the feast of
Speaker 1: harvest the first fruits of your labors which you have
Speaker 1: sown in the field, and the feast of in gathering.
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, when you have gathered
Speaker 1: in the fruit of your labors from the field three
Speaker 1: times in a year, all of your males shall appear
Speaker 1: before the land, shall appear before the Lord God. You
Speaker 1: shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leven bread,
Speaker 1: nor shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until morning
Speaker 1: the first of its first fruits of your land you
Speaker 1: shall bring into the house of your Lord God. You
Speaker 1: shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta have sacrifice to the Lord, you know. So
Speaker 1: that's definitely understandable. The Angel and the Promises, so this
Speaker 1: is going to be the very last portion that we read.
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I finish this chapter so
Speaker 1: that when I pick up on the next chapter, I
Speaker 1: know exactly where I'm starting. The Angel and the Promises. Behold,
Speaker 1: I send an angel before you to keep you in
Speaker 1: the way and to bring you into the place which
Speaker 1: I have prepared. Beware of him and obey his voice,
Speaker 1: and do not provoke him, for he will not pardon
Speaker 1: your transgressions, for MY name is in him. But if
Speaker 1: you indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak.
Speaker 1: Then I may be an enemy of your enemies, and
Speaker 1: the adversary of your adversaries. From my angel will go
Speaker 1: before you and bring you into the Amorites, the Hittites,
Speaker 1: the Parasites, the Canaanites, the Hippatites, the Jebusites, and I
Speaker 1: will cut them off. Notice those are giant tribes that
Speaker 1: he's mentioning. Right there. You shall Now, why do you
Speaker 1: need an angel, Because you're just a man going against giants,
Speaker 1: So you definitely need angel's help. You need the Lord's help.
Speaker 1: You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them,
Speaker 1: nor be according to their works, but you shall utterly
Speaker 1: overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars. The
Speaker 1: Lord is speaking here right man, the Amorites, that is
Speaker 1: the king of Bashan. You see that. The Hittites. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see these these are This is very interesting. So you
Speaker 1: shall serve the Lord your god, and he will bless
Speaker 1: you your bread and your water. And I will take
Speaker 1: sickness away from you. In the midst of you. No
Speaker 1: one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land.
Speaker 1: I will fulfill the number of your days. So if
Speaker 1: you follow everything, then it'll be like that, but obviously
Speaker 1: they didn't follow. I will send my fear before you.
Speaker 1: I will cause confusion among all the people do whom
Speaker 1: you come, and I will make all your enemies turn
Speaker 1: their backs to you. I will send hornets before you,
Speaker 1: which shall drive out the Hippatite, the Hivte, the Canaanite,
Speaker 1: the Hivnite before you. I will not drive them out
Speaker 1: before you in one year, lest the land becomes desolate
Speaker 1: and beast of the field becomes too numerous for you.
Speaker 1: Little by little, I will drive them out from before you,
Speaker 1: until you have increased and you inherit the land. And
Speaker 1: I will send your bounds of the red sea to
Speaker 1: the sea Fistia, and from the desert to the river.
Speaker 1: For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into
Speaker 1: your hand, and you shall drive them before you. You
Speaker 1: shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Speaker 1: They shall dwell in your land. Let's make you sin
Speaker 1: against me, for if you serve their gods, it will
Speaker 1: surely be a snare to you. You see what I mean,
Speaker 1: and you see what's happening. Man with the you see
Speaker 1: what's happening. A lot of other gods are being served,
Speaker 1: especially in America, especially in India, especially in even if
Speaker 1: you know what, you can only worship one master. So
Speaker 1: if you're not worshiping God, then you're actually you're you're
Speaker 1: worshiping other gods and you don't might not even know it,
Speaker 1: and you might be worshiping the devil and not even
Speaker 1: know it. And you know, you don't have to be
Speaker 1: in a cloak and sitting in there with a six
Speaker 1: sixty six on your forehead to be worshiping the devil.
Speaker 1: You might be worshiping in and not even know it.
Speaker 1: And that's the worst. You're a lukewarm. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: So next week, as long as no other crazy show
Speaker 1: comes up or some guest comes on that I think
Speaker 1: is important for you guys to listen to, we will
Speaker 1: be on Exodus twenty four. So we covered Exodus seventeen
Speaker 1: all the way to Exodus twenty four, and I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the Bible study. I mean, praise the Lord,
Speaker 1: Praise God for us to even have this time together.
Speaker 1: And if you guys are on a cult and Conspiracy's Patreon,
Speaker 1: then you can see the video. If you're not, then
Speaker 1: you're just gonna hear the audio. But yeah, I really
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys. And if you see the video, then
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to see the Bible versus on
Speaker 1: the screen as I'm going over them. If you are
Speaker 1: just hearing this on audio, then leave a comment below
Speaker 1: on Spotify so I know that you're enjoying the Bible studies.
Speaker 1: So I know, like, hey, I like the roundtable that
Speaker 1: you did. I like this. I really enjoyed you having
Speaker 1: Gary Wayne on or having this gentleman on, Ryan Pitterson, whatever.
Speaker 1: And if you see any guests that I have on
Speaker 1: my show and you want to see me do a
Speaker 1: Bible study with them on my Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy podcast,
Speaker 1: let me know. I will contact them.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to do these Bible studies myself. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I have really early morning shows, so it's hard for
Speaker 1: some of these guys on the West coast to join me.
Speaker 1: It's a lot easier for someone on the East coast
Speaker 1: to join. So I think next week I might have
Speaker 1: Jaron from Jerinism on one of the shows, whether it's
Speaker 1: this one or mine. I'm not sure. He's not Christian,
Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know whether to bring him
Speaker 1: on this platform because it's Sunday Service or Wednesday service,
Speaker 1: but I think it's I want to talk to him though,
Speaker 1: you know, talk to him about Antarctica and everything and
Speaker 1: see where he's at. And I want to definitely lead
Speaker 1: to whoever I can to the Lord, no matter who
Speaker 1: it is, so as long as God brings them to me,
Speaker 1: I will definitely plant the seed and it's up to
Speaker 1: God to make make the seed grow. So anyways, thank
Speaker 1: you guys so much for joining me for this, for
Speaker 1: this Bible study and this podcast. Sunday Service, please join
Speaker 1: me for Wednesday service on Wednesdays. If you're on Spotify,
Speaker 1: they will episodes will be coming out Wednesdays and then
Speaker 1: on Sundays. Sunday Service will be coming out on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So we have two services going right now. Wednesday's service,
Speaker 1: what am I going to be doing. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: my very best to start bringing you New Testament on
Speaker 1: Wednesday service and Old Testament on Sunday Service. Now, like
Speaker 1: I said comment below, let me know, Hey, we'd like
Speaker 1: you to do a couple of shows conspiracy if you
Speaker 1: can or whatever, and I'll do my best to conform.
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm here to teach you. I'm here to
Speaker 1: lead you to Jesus. I'm here to get you saved.
Speaker 1: I'm here to lead you to Yahweh. I'm here to
Speaker 1: lead you to the Holy Spirit. I'm here to lead
Speaker 1: you as best that I can. You know, I am
Speaker 1: not perfect by any means. I am not sinless, Okay.
Speaker 1: I go through trials and tribulations. I go through spiritual battles.
Speaker 1: I go through sin too, and I'm fighting the best
Speaker 1: that I can. But I'll what I will try to
Speaker 1: try to do, you know, is I'm going to try
Speaker 1: to study before I come to this Sunday service and
Speaker 1: try to teach you. Once in a while, I go
Speaker 1: over what I have studied because I only got a
Speaker 1: four day week to study and now I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: studying the New Testament and Old Testament. So next month
Speaker 1: in February, I have a Genesis roundtable. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: with Gary Wayne. I'll probably get a couple other guys
Speaker 1: on and it'll be a good show. So we have
Speaker 1: some good stuff planned for the future. But you know,
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much for listening and for tuning in.
Speaker 1: Like I always do, I end this in prayer, so
Speaker 1: Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for everything you do for us. I appreciate
Speaker 1: this time. I appreciate you know, Exodus and being able
Speaker 1: to go over the Ten Commandments and go over when
Speaker 1: you were speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai. What a beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful picture that I see with him going up on
Speaker 1: the mountain and you you standing there on Mount Sinai
Speaker 1: and there's dunder, and there's lightning, and there's the trumpet,
Speaker 1: and you're speaking to Moses, and you know, the courage
Speaker 1: that you gave Moses for him to come up there
Speaker 1: and speak to you. I think it's just amazing. If
Speaker 1: you could bless us with that kind of courage, if
Speaker 1: you could bless us with that kind of faith, you know,
Speaker 1: I would really appreciate it. If you could help the
Speaker 1: viewers out there that especially the ones that are unsure
Speaker 1: on whether they should believe in you or not, or
Speaker 1: if they believe in the Bible or not, or if
Speaker 1: they're on the fence. Lord, we need to help them,
Speaker 1: you know, bring them to you, Lord, and help them
Speaker 1: put everything on the altar and for them to understand
Speaker 1: that you send your only begotten son to die on
Speaker 1: the cross for us. You know, we appreciate that so dearly,
Speaker 1: and thank you for that, Lord, And thank you for
Speaker 1: giving us a mediator to be able to speak to you, Lord,
Speaker 1: like speaking through Jesus and being able to speak to you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for giving us the high priest where we
Speaker 1: don't need to, you know, stand at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the mountain and wait for someone else to speak to you.
Speaker 1: We could speak to you Lord personally like we are
Speaker 1: doing right now. We appreciate that. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for that, and thank you for the opportunity to have
Speaker 1: Wednesday service and Sunday service on this show. I understand
Speaker 1: that there might be some things taught on this show, Lord,
Speaker 1: the shows that I'm not on that are against what
Speaker 1: you teach. But I am here to lead the conspiracy
Speaker 1: theorist to you, Lord, and you will do the rest.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm here to do. You're placing me
Speaker 1: in the battlefield, and I'm a soldier for you, ready
Speaker 1: to go to war. So thank you for that. Lord.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you to help us through all the spiritual
Speaker 1: battles that we may be going through throughout the week,
Speaker 1: help us to battle those and for us to dodge
Speaker 1: the wiles of the devil. Lord, thank you for everything
Speaker 1: you do. We love you in Jesus name. Amen, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Praise God. What a beautiful episode. I really love this.
Speaker 1: I really had a good time. I don't really do
Speaker 1: a night episode with you guys, but I enjoyed this night.
