Speaker 1: Hey, what is happening and what is up? Michaelmethean Knights.
Speaker 1: Hold up your glass because I am about to feel
Speaker 1: it up. We are continuing on our season one dig
Speaker 1: Bibel podcast and this is a two part series, and
Speaker 1: we broke down Jesus. This is really cool, guys. So
Speaker 1: we go through the life, we go.
Speaker 2: Through the death, we go through the resurrection, and we
Speaker 2: try to peel open and uncover these gold nuggets and
Speaker 2: these little hidden gems in this story of the man
Speaker 2: that is the anchor to our faith.
Speaker 1: So with that being said, this is when we were
Speaker 1: first trying to figure out the audio thing. So you
Speaker 1: got some air conditioning noise in the background, you get
Speaker 1: a little bit echo from the room. The quality is
Speaker 1: not what you're used to, but the nuggets are there.
Speaker 1: Grit through the quality issues because the content is there.
Speaker 1: Sit back, relax and enjoy week this journey.
Speaker 3: We should read our Bibles as a man dig for
Speaker 3: buried treasure.
Speaker 1: One of the most high game with the nations their inheritance.
Speaker 1: When He divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's
Speaker 1: according to the number of the sons of God.
Speaker 4: In those days and for some time after, Giant Nephilites
Speaker 4: lived on to the earth, for whenever the sons of
Speaker 4: God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children
Speaker 4: who became the heroes and famous warriors.
Speaker 3: Of ancient times.
Speaker 1: Take no partner fruitless deeds of darkness, but yet expose
Speaker 1: that though a thousand fall at your side, though ten
Speaker 1: thousand are dying around.

Speaker 1: another local plug. My cousin Justin Bryan at the bull
Speaker 1: of Oard Motors down and Green was gonna holp me up.
Speaker 1: Thank you, justin good stuff. Well, I guess we can
Speaker 1: dive right in. Before we do that, I guess we're
Speaker 1: gonna open up in prayer. Uh so if you want
Speaker 1: to pray, pray with us. Uh heave and Father, thank
Speaker 1: you for today and thank you for the mean blessings
Speaker 1: that you give us. Uh We thank you for the
Speaker 1: opportunity to give us a platform to to speak and
Speaker 1: dig into your word. And uh I have other people
Speaker 1: uh actually listen to what we have to say, and
Speaker 1: we just pray for a discernment and uh on your
Speaker 1: word and uh that you lead and guide us, and
Speaker 1: that hopefully we inspire others to dig into their Bible.
Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. Steven said it before
Speaker 1: many times. And if all this is you know, this
Speaker 1: is fun for us, Father, we enjoy it. But you know,
Speaker 1: if we inspire one person or lead one more person
Speaker 1: of the kingdom, it's all worth it. Uh. It's in
Speaker 1: your son's heaven name, we plaid Jesus Christ. Amen.
Speaker 3: Amen.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Jesus Christ, today's subject matter Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Yeah, last time we uh talked about you
Speaker 1: know who who was Satan? So now let's get out
Speaker 1: of darkness and into the light.
Speaker 4: You know, another good segue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh, I guess uh if you're going to
Speaker 1: go you know chronological, you know, order of things, uh
Speaker 1: uh old Testament, Yes, we had you know, Isaiah seven fourteen,
Speaker 1: you know, told you that a virgin shall conceive Embar's son,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel would be his name, and that means, you know,
Speaker 1: God is with us. You know the same thing in
Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter nine six through seven. And I got a
Speaker 1: little star beside of that, So I think that's indication
Speaker 1: I need to read that usually is what that means
Speaker 1: so Isaiah nine six through seven. For to us a
Speaker 1: child is born, to us a son is given, and
Speaker 1: the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name
Speaker 1: shall be called Wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince
Speaker 1: of peace. And in verse seven, of the increase of
Speaker 1: his government and of peace, there will be no end
Speaker 1: on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to
Speaker 1: establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness,
Speaker 1: from the time forth and forever more. Of course, you
Speaker 1: know that's you know, the prophecy of the coming Messiah.
Speaker 1: You got Micah chapter five, verse two through three. You
Speaker 1: know it says from Bethlehem that this Messiah will come,
Speaker 1: and that that has significance because you know, Bethlehem was
Speaker 1: a lowly poor city. You know, you never had kings
Speaker 1: come from this place. So you know, the the whole
Speaker 1: suffering servant theme, you know, with the with the coming Messiah.
Speaker 1: But one thing I thought was really crazy. I'll give
Speaker 1: a plug for a book on this one was reading
Speaker 1: reading Moses but seeing Jesus. And I never realized this,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, because I mean I'm not Jewish,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you don't really look
Speaker 1: into stuff typically if you're not of that faith or denomination.
Speaker 1: But you know, most of Judaism doesn't see Jesus as
Speaker 1: the Messiah. You know, like I said that that books
Speaker 1: was a good plug and that gives me a lot
Speaker 1: of insight to that. You know. Uh, they seen Moses
Speaker 1: as the Messiah because you know, there was like basically
Speaker 1: checklists qualifications from Messiah. You had to you know, do
Speaker 1: wondrous works and miracles. You had to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: lead your people, and you also had to free your people,
Speaker 1: you know, from slavery or bondage. You know, Moses done
Speaker 1: these things. And just because it is not realizing what
Speaker 1: Jesus really did exactly, they were looking at the physical world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Jesus didn't he done everything, but he didn't
Speaker 1: free the Jewish people from the Roman government. So therefore,
Speaker 1: in their carnal minds, he didn't get that check mark.
Speaker 1: You know. But what's funny is when you read and
Speaker 1: well I'll get more into it when we get there,
Speaker 1: but as you read through the New Testament, it's funny
Speaker 1: when you realize this and look back at those it's
Speaker 1: like Jesus and the biblical writers were comparing Jesus to
Speaker 1: Moses and trying to show the people of that time
Speaker 1: that he was he was the Messiah, but he was
Speaker 1: also greater than Moses in every single way. But they
Speaker 1: still missed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy, No, it is. I mean that's something else.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, I think what we and I know this
Speaker 4: is kind of turned into my catchphrase, let's back up
Speaker 4: just a little bit here.
Speaker 1: But uh, you need it on a shirt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andy need that on a shirt.
Speaker 4: But I think a big part of what we need
Speaker 4: to we need to kind of pinpoint here is everybody,
Speaker 4: I mean, even most non Christians have heard this story
Speaker 4: of Jesus and whether or not they believe it's true.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's obviously the difference sting to Christian and
Speaker 4: non a Christian. But the big part of this and
Speaker 4: what we're talking about today and what we're going to
Speaker 4: bring more to light is looking at it from and
Speaker 4: we talk about that that that new worldview, that that
Speaker 4: Deuteronomy thirty two worldview, and looking at it on a
Speaker 4: more a deeper level. Where As of right now, you know,
Speaker 4: we hear the story and everybody is okay, you know,
Speaker 4: oh Jesus, you know he died and he came back
Speaker 4: to life and save it from our sins. And it's
Speaker 4: just such a thing that we hear over and over
Speaker 4: and over again. It's beaten to our brains. And part
Speaker 4: of it, I mean, it's obviously true, but part of
Speaker 4: it is why is everybody okay with that part of
Speaker 4: the supernatural? And nothing else in the Bible, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? There's so much there but no one
Speaker 4: everything else is uncomfortable. But sticking with the theme today,
Speaker 4: we just have to look at this through different eyes
Speaker 4: and understand that the symbolism, there's so much stuff behind this.
Speaker 4: And you know, when Jesus spoken symbolism half of you know,
Speaker 4: through parables half and what he said, and it was
Speaker 4: up to us to dig into what that meant a
Speaker 4: lot of times. And if you look throughout the Bible,
Speaker 4: a lot of times, you know, God spoke to people
Speaker 4: through dreams and then he'd use individuals like Daniel or
Speaker 4: something like that to interpret those dreams. So there's so
Speaker 4: much symbolism in the Bible. And as soon as we
Speaker 4: just look at something as cut and dry and we
Speaker 4: don't look into it further, we're cheating ourselves out of truth.
Speaker 4: We're treating ourselves out. We're cheating ourselves out of so
Speaker 4: much more that's there. There's so much more, and that's
Speaker 4: what And Justin was just saying that before we started.
Speaker 4: He was We're looking at all this stuff through a
Speaker 4: whole new lens, and.
Speaker 1: And it draws you closer to God.
Speaker 4: It draws closer to God. And that's the whole point.
Speaker 4: God wants you to be in his word. He wants
Speaker 4: you to learn from it, and that at the same time,
Speaker 4: when you read that what God might tell you might
Speaker 4: be different than what God tells me. And that's how
Speaker 4: He speaks to you. But we have to once again
Speaker 4: look at the fact that there's so much more that
Speaker 4: when we read our Bibles, we've glossed over so much information.
Speaker 4: And and when we talk about Jesus birth, death, and resurrection,
Speaker 4: which is kind of the cornerstone of the entire Christian Church,
Speaker 4: I mean that that is the cornerstone. I mean, really,
Speaker 4: that's what everything's founded on. There's so much more to
Speaker 4: that whole story that we need to kind of delve into.
Speaker 4: And that's kind of the direction that we're going today.
Speaker 4: And I just think that we need to kind of.
Speaker 5: And you know, you know, he tells us in Matthew,
Speaker 5: you know it is given under you to know the
Speaker 5: mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 3: But to them it is not given because seeing they
Speaker 3: don't see, and hearing they don't hear. Neither do they understand.
Speaker 5: So if we don't take that responsibility to do these
Speaker 5: digs that we do and to dig deeper into the
Speaker 5: word of the Most High and his son, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: we're really going to be in the darkness of a
Speaker 5: lot of things. And like we kind of talked about
Speaker 5: the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven and the least
Speaker 5: among the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: Me myself, I definitely want to be Uh. I definitely
Speaker 5: want to be up there on that list when we.
Speaker 3: Get I want to be on the inside.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely so Verbs you know chapter one, you know
Speaker 1: it says that you know wisdom uh basically hangs out
Speaker 1: in the street and cries out to the people, Oh
Speaker 1: my people, how long will you be simple?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 1: You know we wis God is calling out to us.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, God's not just going to give
Speaker 1: you divine inspiration and knowledge and the secrets of heaven
Speaker 1: if you're just docile and laying back and they say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the Holy Spirit's the teacher. You know, if
Speaker 1: I need to know, he'll tell me. No, God meets
Speaker 1: you in the middle. You gotta grab your shove.
Speaker 3: If you search, you will find.
Speaker 5: If you knock, he will answer, and if you ask,
Speaker 5: I shall be given unto you. But if you don't
Speaker 5: put forth that effort, well, who knows what's going to
Speaker 5: be given to you. Well, So I just want to
Speaker 5: obey him and what he says. And the more that
Speaker 5: I do that, I feel like that he reveals hisself
Speaker 5: so much more to me. And uh, it's only going
Speaker 5: to be done through his word and his son. So
Speaker 5: I'm anxious to talk about this stuff today.
Speaker 3: JB. I know you got some good stuff for us.
Speaker 4: I got to just one more thing, is that when
Speaker 4: I get to Heaven, when we're on that new Earth
Speaker 4: and about us ago and go to those gates you
Speaker 4: know of the new Heaven, I want to know the
Speaker 4: secret handshake. I want to get in. I want to
Speaker 4: walk up that angel and be like, yeah, hey, this
Speaker 4: is the word. All right, you're in. You're good, you
Speaker 4: can go in, buddy. I want to be that guy.
Speaker 3: Without a doubt and also too.
Speaker 1: When you get there, you know, all the secrets and
Speaker 1: everything will be revealed until but but I don't want
Speaker 1: to use that as excuse not to look. You know,
Speaker 1: my my very best hopes is to get up there
Speaker 1: and be like, you know, God'll be like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you've done a lot of digging and research, and
Speaker 1: he did the podcast and everything. You're this close. You
Speaker 1: almost had it figured out. You know, you swung at
Speaker 1: the ball. I appreciate it. Well, I guess, uh, we're
Speaker 1: going to be talking about Jesus. You know, we talked
Speaker 1: about the prophecies of the coming Messiah. So next is
Speaker 1: the actual birthday?
Speaker 3: You got how many prophecies?
Speaker 1: I googled it real quick check give it? Well, I
Speaker 1: just gave a few. But yeah, I know there's time.
Speaker 1: There's on Google because you know it'd be alongifty one.
Speaker 1: This is here, three hundred and fifty one via what
Speaker 1: Google's telling us.
Speaker 3: Don't believe everything.
Speaker 1: What's the odds of one single man in what thirty say,
Speaker 1: thirty years? Was he thirty two, thirty three, thirty three
Speaker 1: in thirty years thirty three years?
Speaker 3: Did them all? It's impossible?
Speaker 1: And I like you said that. One day we were
Speaker 1: talking to you said impossible. What was it you said
Speaker 1: the Yeah, atheists will say, well, yeah, it was already
Speaker 1: written hundreds of years before he came. He was reading
Speaker 1: the Book of the Feeler. Was that you said? When
Speaker 1: he was on the cross? And what did Jesus say
Speaker 1: to the soldiers? Please I've made it this far, don't
Speaker 1: break my screw it all up. I did say that, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: please please, he's sitting there this far.
Speaker 3: Please please don't break my bones.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but they broke the bot Usually what you
Speaker 4: break their legs? Yeah, I mean that they would usually
Speaker 4: break their legs to help the asphyxiate them.
Speaker 1: Say, they break their legs, and they they he was
Speaker 1: out of the norm on that too.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's out of the norm of crucifixion in general.
Speaker 1: So I guess with the birthday of Jesus, you know,
Speaker 1: we are told, you know, December twenty fifth is Christmas,
Speaker 1: and I know sometimes we focus in on the you know,
Speaker 1: the Roman Catholics, you know a lot. But somebody told
Speaker 1: me that that that was a Roman Catholic holiday that
Speaker 1: they instituted to bring in pagans or something, you know,
Speaker 1: something about that.
Speaker 3: I kind of heard a thing or two.
Speaker 5: But my understanding is that, uh, you know, December the
Speaker 5: twenty fifth.
Speaker 3: They were celebrating.
Speaker 5: The dying residentrecting or the dying resurrecting Sun gods of
Speaker 5: iniquities birthdays hundreds of years before the birth of Yehusha,
Speaker 5: for the birth of the of the Son's most are
Speaker 5: the most high Sun and Soul. And Victis is actually
Speaker 5: who Constantine worshiped. Not only did he worship him, but
Speaker 5: he was initiated into the Order of Solen Victis four
Speaker 5: years prior to bringing together of the Council of Nicea
Speaker 5: and under the Holy Roman Church. Now, as far as
Speaker 5: what the astrology, as far as how the sun moves south,
Speaker 5: is that where we're at?
Speaker 3: Is that where you're going with?
Speaker 1: I think more about the date, uh and what and
Speaker 1: what like what it actually was.
Speaker 5: They, Yeah, they were celebrating solen victis birthday, all these
Speaker 5: dynas Saturnalia, which I mean, all these different sun gods
Speaker 5: that you see, we've talked about this before. This kind
Speaker 5: of comes back to the beginning at Babel, but without
Speaker 5: going there, you know, December twenty fifth was celebrating the
Speaker 5: dining resurrected Sun, guys of iniquities, birthday hundreds of years
Speaker 5: before the birth of Christ.
Speaker 3: So there was the Gentiles were worshiping that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then of course when they the Roman Catholic Church
Speaker 5: come together and they amalgamated Christianity with Paganism, and when
Speaker 5: they did that, we started to celebrate the birth of
Speaker 5: the most Hot Sun, the Messiah on December the twenty fifth.
Speaker 3: But my understanding.
Speaker 5: Is, along with Hugh Justin, you tell it so well,
Speaker 5: the true birthday of the Messiah would be on nine
Speaker 5: to eleven.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to run us through that and tell
Speaker 3: us how that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was getting to that.
Speaker 3: That was a building up for Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I had never done that, you know, or looked
Speaker 1: into that.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I know you've spoke on it a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: and I actually just kind of looked into it a
Speaker 1: little bit, and it blew my mind, you know, because
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of think, well, they had good intentions,
Speaker 1: you would like to think, you know, it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: they instituted this, this pagan holiday to try to bring
Speaker 1: in the pagans and the heathen and then once they
Speaker 1: got them in, then they could tell them the truth,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's why you would like to think,
Speaker 1: you know, but like you said, you know, it was
Speaker 1: he was designed to compete the you know, the December
Speaker 1: twenty fifth birthday of Christ. You know, it was designed
Speaker 1: to compete with the heat the heathen Roman feast of Satrilina,
Speaker 1: you know, in honor of the sun deity Mithra. You know,
Speaker 1: Mithra and the biblical Messiah, you know, bear a lot
Speaker 1: of remarkable similarities if you dig into who Mithra was.
Speaker 1: You know, Mithra was the creator God, He became flesh,
Speaker 1: saved mankind from the powers of darkness. His birth was
Speaker 1: December the twenty fifth. It was witnessed by shepherds. He
Speaker 1: had a last supper with his disciples, returned to heaven,
Speaker 1: and when one day we'll return, learn to judge and
Speaker 1: resurrect mankind and lead the chosen into immortality. Pretty similar
Speaker 1: that devi Will had a little bit of work going
Speaker 1: on there, don't Oh yeah, yeah, hey, let's let's make
Speaker 1: you believe so close.
Speaker 4: Well, that's the whole point the deception, right, The deception
Speaker 4: was always going to make.
Speaker 1: It sounds like flips everything up side.
Speaker 4: It makes it makes a little sense until right at
Speaker 4: the end. But I think that's crazy that Saturnalia that
Speaker 4: that festival you're talking about was the seven day festival
Speaker 4: from December seventeenth till December twenty fourth, which would have
Speaker 4: been Christmas Eve, you know now what we call Christmas Eve.
Speaker 4: But that would have taken us right up to that
Speaker 4: point and then they'd have been like, all right, now,
Speaker 4: look at us, Look at us, it's Birth of Jesus.
Speaker 4: Look over here, your festival's done. Come over here now
Speaker 4: and look at this. It's I think Heiser said that
Speaker 4: what if you look at the the full information kind
Speaker 4: of everything that he had that he said that he
Speaker 4: thinks Herod lived all the way until one BC, is
Speaker 4: what he said.
Speaker 1: And you had multiple herods too.
Speaker 4: Well, Herod the Great as we say, Herod the Great,
Speaker 4: but at that time. But as par as those things
Speaker 4: like you said, so we're talking Birth of Jesus really
Speaker 4: being somewhere between one to three BC is really.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the same time in December over there,
Speaker 1: you're not traveling, you're not walking.
Speaker 3: You know, you're not walking over there in the summertime either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was there getting with the pagan holiday
Speaker 1: December twenty fifth thing, you know, and you mentioned, you
Speaker 1: know Constantine you know, was behind that. You know, so
Speaker 1: the Roman emperor Constantine gave the most significant push to
Speaker 1: blend the two factions of pagan and Christianity.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He switched the Sabbath from thee the seventh day Saturday
Speaker 1: to the first day Sunday, you know, the day the
Speaker 1: Pagans worshiped the sun. That's you know what it's called Sunday.
Speaker 1: That all shops. He put out of order that all
Speaker 1: shops should be closed, you know, and all should rest.
Speaker 3: Had it illegal to keep the holy Sabbath. They were
Speaker 3: going to take you to jail for this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And uh and like you said, you
Speaker 1: also mentioned the Tower of Bible. You know, Nimrod married
Speaker 1: his mother, you know, sims How you say that simarais
Speaker 1: which is also uh Diana, Afrodite, a star, Traa, and Venus.
Speaker 1: According to which story or culture getting it from? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know her son Tamuz, we we mentioned him before.
Speaker 1: You know, it was also Bacchus, Adonus o Cyrus. Again
Speaker 1: according to which country or religion or you know, you
Speaker 1: get it from same.
Speaker 5: People, that's right, languages that was told in these different cultures,
Speaker 5: and it was the same story being told about the
Speaker 5: same deity. But but it comes down to the Sun
Speaker 5: worship of.
Speaker 1: Just like I said, And do you know where the
Speaker 1: Christmas tree comes from?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you can look at Jeremiah ten.
Speaker 5: And what they would do is they'd go out to
Speaker 5: the woods and they would chop these evergreens down and
Speaker 5: they would bring him into the house and they would
Speaker 5: line them with tensil and gold and they would erect
Speaker 5: this this idol in their house. And then they would
Speaker 5: take presents and put them under the tree, and you
Speaker 5: would bow down in front of the tree to grab
Speaker 5: your presence.
Speaker 3: You see.
Speaker 5: So you know, when you talk about these different traditions
Speaker 5: and stuff that's been overlapped in Christianity, this is where
Speaker 5: this came from.
Speaker 1: And it all tied the demrod, it all tied. That's
Speaker 1: why them this pic depictions. You see he's sitting there
Speaker 1: holding like this little miniature looking tree, which you know,
Speaker 1: they depicted him as like a giant.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 1: He was huge holding this Christmas tree and then you
Speaker 1: know they have him with the pine cone you know,
Speaker 1: and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: The way the story went was that he was dying
Speaker 1: and resurrecting, you know, and he would come back to life,
Speaker 1: but only when the dead yule log was thrown into
Speaker 1: the fire and the evergreen reappeared again at the winter
Speaker 1: solstice December of twenty fifth. And it says sim ress,
Speaker 1: how you say that again? Yes, Marires would claim that
Speaker 1: Nimrod would visit the evergreen and leave gifts under it,
Speaker 1: hence your Christmas tree.
Speaker 3: Ay, see how that works?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy, Saint Nick, they're the same person.
Speaker 3: Wow name, I.
Speaker 5: Guess it would definitely believe these these are man made traditions,
Speaker 5: you know, that were held by the Pagans. And then
Speaker 5: when Constantine brought forth together the Council the Sea in
Speaker 5: three twenty five, you know, he amalgamated these two things
Speaker 5: together and created one deity to where he could roll
Speaker 5: over everybody. You know.
Speaker 1: So, and what's crazy to is Tamuz. You know that
Speaker 1: was the Babylonian Sun, did he He was the first
Speaker 1: counterfeit savior, you know? Yahweh and Ezekiel eight fourteen through
Speaker 1: eighteen condemns the worship for Tamoos in the sun me
Speaker 1: and you've had conversations about that before.
Speaker 5: But it's unbelievable when you follow the trail of these
Speaker 5: scriptures and stuff and just how you can see in
Speaker 5: our world today.
Speaker 1: Have a seat and the iniquity, yeah, equity.
Speaker 3: That's being woven. It's just it's it's unbelieving people doesn't.
Speaker 1: We don't see this, But that's blind.
Speaker 5: We're willfully blind. And that's because we don't search. So
Speaker 5: we don't don't we don't knock, he don't answer, we
Speaker 5: don't ask him, and he don't give.
Speaker 3: It to us, you know.
Speaker 5: So here we are just ignorant, and we're ignorant to
Speaker 5: Satan's devices. And that's the last thing that we need
Speaker 5: to do. But uh, when you really start to do
Speaker 5: the study and do the research, I mean, you could
Speaker 5: be able to connect the dots and see the world
Speaker 5: for what it really is.
Speaker 3: And this is Satan's realm and that's.
Speaker 5: Why he was able to offer to the Messiah all
Speaker 5: the kingdoms because it was his to give. We've talked
Speaker 5: about this before, so definitely something I love to talk about.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, I guess since we've uh dives through
Speaker 1: the fake birthday and where it came from, we can
Speaker 1: get into the real stuff and what scripture says.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's get to the meat.
Speaker 1: And we want to thank you guys. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: so cool we looking and seeing people. We got people
Speaker 1: from United Kingdom, now, we got people from Belgium, all across
Speaker 1: the United States.
Speaker 5: We are very humble, and we're hearing something about maybe somebody,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, a big name coming, big name author coming in
Speaker 1: the world. Right, yeah, Okay, his name's not I know
Speaker 1: a guy.
Speaker 3: Do you know a guy? Yes? He does.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: I can't figure this out. I've got something. But now, okay, Steven,
Speaker 1: what did you say?
Speaker 3: Luke?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: Luke?
Speaker 1: Chapter one, verse five through twenty three.
Speaker 4: When Herod was king of Judea, there was a Jewish
Speaker 4: priest named Zachariah. He was a member of the priestly
Speaker 4: order of Abajah and his wife Elizabeth, who was also
Speaker 4: from the precy line of Erin. Zachary and Elizabeth were
Speaker 4: righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all the commandments
Speaker 4: and regulations. They had no children because Elizabeth was una
Speaker 4: to conceive and they were both very old. One day,
Speaker 4: Zachariah was serving God in the temple for his order
Speaker 4: was on duty that week. As was the custom of
Speaker 4: the priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the
Speaker 4: sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense. While the incense
Speaker 4: was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying well.
Speaker 4: Zachariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord
Speaker 4: appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar.
Speaker 4: Zachariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him,
Speaker 4: but the angel said, what do the angels always say?
Speaker 3: Fear not exactly.
Speaker 4: Don't be afraid, Zacharia. God has heard your prayer. Your
Speaker 4: wife Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are
Speaker 4: to name him John. You will have great joy and gladness,
Speaker 4: and many will rejoice at his birth.
Speaker 1: How far do you want me to go? Ull pulled
Speaker 1: up lost.
Speaker 4: I'll keep twenty three, okay, for he will be great
Speaker 4: in the Lord's eyes. He must never touch wine or
Speaker 4: other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy
Speaker 4: Spirit even before his birth, and he will turn many.
Speaker 4: He will turn many Israelites to the Lord, their God.
Speaker 4: He will be a man with the spirit and the
Speaker 4: power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the
Speaker 4: coming of the Lord, and he will turn the hearts
Speaker 4: of the fathers to their children. And he will cause
Speaker 4: those who are the rebellious to accept the wisdom of
Speaker 4: the godly. Zachariah said to the angel, how can I
Speaker 4: be sure this will happen? I am an old man now,
Speaker 4: and my wife is also well along in years. That's
Speaker 4: really nice. He didn't call his wife old, He just
Speaker 4: said she's got a couple of years on.
Speaker 1: And one thing too, you know a bit. Some people's like, well,
Speaker 1: what does Zachari and Elizabeth and John have to do
Speaker 1: with Jesus. Well, Zachariah was the uncle to Jesus and
Speaker 1: the father of John the Baptists, and so we're creating
Speaker 1: a timeline. Here's what we're doing.
Speaker 4: Yes, Then the angel said, I am Gabriel. I stand
Speaker 4: in the very presence of God. It was he who
Speaker 4: sent me to bring you the good news. But now,
Speaker 4: since you didn't believe in what I said, you will
Speaker 4: be silent and unable to speak until the child. I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: until the child is born, for my words will certainly
Speaker 4: be fulfilled at the proper time. Meanwhile, the people were
Speaker 4: waiting for Zacharia to come out of the sanctuary, wondering
Speaker 4: why he was taking so long. When he finally did
Speaker 4: come out, he couldn't speak to them. Then they realized
Speaker 4: from his gestures and his silence, that he must have
Speaker 4: seen a vision in the sanctuary. When Zachariah's week of
Speaker 4: service and the temple was over, he returned home. Soon afterward,
Speaker 4: Elizabeth became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months.
Speaker 4: How kind the Lord is, she exclaimed, He has taken
Speaker 4: away my disgrace of having no children.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that where are we at?
Speaker 3: Right there?
Speaker 4: That was Luke two five, and I actually went a
Speaker 4: little further, stuck.
Speaker 1: Through chapter one, five through twenty three.
Speaker 4: I went through twenty five on it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's fine. So we're trying to establish a timeline.
Speaker 1: So we know Jesus's uncle Zachariah was a priest. He
Speaker 1: was serving for the feasts and Holy days. He was
Speaker 1: told visit by an angel, said he'll conceive. He goes
Speaker 1: back home.
Speaker 4: He didn't believe.
Speaker 1: You didn't believe he was silenced. Then it gives you
Speaker 1: a time, that says. So she concealed herself for how
Speaker 1: many months? Five for five months, So pregnancy is nine months,
Speaker 1: So we lack four months. Right, We're going to fill
Speaker 1: in that four month time gap with scripture. But right
Speaker 1: here in my notes, I said her husband the priest
Speaker 1: was the eighth course of Abja, he would have to serve.
Speaker 1: According to the Talmud, he would have to serve two
Speaker 1: weeks in a row and serve for the week of
Speaker 1: Pentecost June. So five months later puts Us at November.
Speaker 1: Okay Luke chapter one, twenty six, twenty seven. That would
Speaker 1: place Mary's encounter with the Angel middle to the end
Speaker 1: of December. This is the time of Honukkah, the festival
Speaker 1: of lights. So Jesus, the Light of the world, was
Speaker 1: announced during the festival of lights. How fitting is that
Speaker 1: It says the Angel of the Lord told Mary of
Speaker 1: elizabeths now six month pregnancy, so she bolted to her
Speaker 1: cousin's house Luke, chapter one, verse thirty nine. She remained there.
Speaker 1: It says three months six plus three is nine months.
Speaker 1: So Luke chapter one, verse fifty six, she stayed for
Speaker 1: the birth of John the Baptist. By now Passover had come,
Speaker 1: so she might as well stay in Jerusalem. Right. This
Speaker 1: puts John the Baptist's birthday during past Over week, at
Speaker 1: the end of March, first week of April. This place
Speaker 1: is Jesus' birth mid September, first of October over right
Speaker 1: around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. And how
Speaker 1: fitting feast of Tabernacles is. You know, when they celebrated
Speaker 1: that God dwelled among them when they were leaving Egypt,
Speaker 1: he tabernacled with them, He dwelled with them. H So
Speaker 1: you know, that's when Moses was handed the law. That's
Speaker 1: you know, when they were in the wilderness, you know,
Speaker 1: and they built the tabernacle, the holiest of holies, in
Speaker 1: the presence of God rested.
Speaker 4: Now God rested on the ark of the Covenant.
Speaker 1: That was Yeah, so now God is physically dwelling among them.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a firm believer. God's of the divine
Speaker 1: architect and put stuff together so perfectly, you know, like
Speaker 1: a perfect you know, Hollywood thriller, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It just makes too much sense not to be real.
Speaker 4: And the part is it's like you don't it's it
Speaker 4: almost seems so common sense, but when you look at it,
Speaker 4: you don't. Like a good movie, you don't see the
Speaker 4: twist until it happens at the end. You don't see
Speaker 4: it coming that. God's like to look at this.
Speaker 1: And the thing is too about any movie. You're a
Speaker 1: good story. You got to know the beginning really well
Speaker 1: before you can understand the ending, because there's always that
Speaker 1: big twist and you're like, why is it doing this
Speaker 1: At the first of the movie, this makes no sense,
Speaker 1: and then you go through it, then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden there's that big plot twist, and then the ending
Speaker 1: comes and you're like, oh, that makes so much sense
Speaker 1: now exactly you know so, And right here I got
Speaker 1: to Luke chapter two. Do you believe the God of
Speaker 1: the Bible had all this pre planned? Well, of course
Speaker 1: he did. Do you think he would have had Joseph
Speaker 1: and Mary, who were carrying the light of the world
Speaker 1: his only son, on a forty mile trek alone in
Speaker 1: the middle of winter, riding a donkey while nine months
Speaker 1: pregnant in the freezing temperatures. No, he planned the trip
Speaker 1: when the weather was beautiful. Yeah, where they would enjoy
Speaker 1: the trip with the entire townsfolksing in to help during
Speaker 1: the time of great celebration. Yes, Yeshua was not born
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day.
Speaker 3: I feel like you should have a mic drop there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so Luke Chapter two and verse seven it says,
Speaker 1: and she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped
Speaker 1: him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger
Speaker 1: because there was no place for them in the end. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Taln had mentioned four large candles when I keep
Speaker 1: mentioning the talent, but that's a Jewish text that the
Speaker 1: priests and stuff would keep, you know, documentation on their feasts,
Speaker 1: how they practiced, you know what I mean. It's basically
Speaker 1: like a historical document. But the talm had mentioned four
Speaker 1: large candlesticks with four golden bowls at the top of each.
Speaker 1: In the women's court. The wicks were made from worn
Speaker 1: out priestly garments cut into strips. The Greek term wrapped
Speaker 1: in swaddling clothes means to wrap in stripes. Now, remember
Speaker 1: Mary's relative was a priest, Zachariah, and they traveled in
Speaker 1: groups with their families to these holy feasts Luke chapter two,
Speaker 1: verse forty three through forty five. You know, that's when
Speaker 1: they lost Jesus. They thought he was with the family
Speaker 1: up in the caravan, you know. So that showed you that,
Speaker 1: you know, they went to these feasts and holy days
Speaker 1: as a family. It was a family event. They traveled
Speaker 1: together in groups. You know. Yeshia was wrapped in linen
Speaker 1: stripes cut from the priestly garments, blood stained by the
Speaker 1: sacrifices offered up on our behalf to draw us nearer
Speaker 1: to God. That's where the swaddling clothes come from. Now,
Speaker 1: why was there no room for them in the end?
Speaker 1: Because it was the feast of Tabernacles. Josephus wrote that
Speaker 1: two point five million people were competing for space. Most
Speaker 1: of the out of towners traveling from Egypt, Syria and
Speaker 1: Jordan and so on would have arrived a few weeks
Speaker 1: earlier to be there for the feast of Trumpets or
Speaker 1: yam Kapul. Those traveling far away may have made a
Speaker 1: little vacation out of it. The ends would not have
Speaker 1: been filled during the dead of winter. Common sense dictates
Speaker 1: that this is because this was during the feast of Tabernacles.
Speaker 1: So I mean, we're following all this, putting our timelines
Speaker 1: together and establishing that. Well, the shepherds in the field, right,
Speaker 1: So the shepherds in the field, that's verse eight says,
Speaker 1: in the same region, there were shepherds out in the
Speaker 1: field keeping watch over their flock by night. So there
Speaker 1: are no shepherds in the fields in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night during the dead of winter. No, shepherds would
Speaker 1: have their livestock out in the tempers and freezing rain
Speaker 1: and possibly snow. They would be pinned up in and
Speaker 1: out of the elements. December through January is the rainy
Speaker 1: and cold season, but September October there may have been
Speaker 1: seven days of rain. And also another thing too. To
Speaker 1: back that up, if you read Jeremiah thirty six through
Speaker 1: let's see thirty six twenty two. Let me pull that
Speaker 1: up Jeremiah Yurmi thirty six twenty two. It says here
Speaker 1: it says it was the ninth month, and the king
Speaker 1: was sitting in the winter house, and there was a
Speaker 1: fire burning in the fire pot before him. So I
Speaker 1: mean that shows you that that's the the winter time.
Speaker 1: But when you go down to verse ten in Luke
Speaker 1: chapter two, says an angel said, fear not once again
Speaker 1: that fear not, uh shows up.
Speaker 3: Fear and not.
Speaker 1: It must be pretty scary, you know, intimidating.
Speaker 4: It's okay, I'm the.
Speaker 1: Good guy, but he says, you know, fear not, I'll
Speaker 1: bring you tidings of great joy, you know, you know.
Speaker 1: The Feast of Tabernacles was known as the Season of
Speaker 1: our Joy to the Hebrews, the people were commanded to
Speaker 1: rejoice for the entire week. If you read Deuteronomy sixteen fourteen.
Speaker 1: God even pre planned the birthday song Psalm one eighteen.
Speaker 1: They would recite this at the feast of tabernacles. Jesus's
Speaker 1: name Yeshua means salvation, So imagine two point five million
Speaker 1: Jews unwittingly reciting this psalm and replace salvation with Yeshua
Speaker 1: at his birth. Yeshua is in the tabernacles of righteousness
Speaker 1: only God. Luke goes on to say, suddenly there was
Speaker 1: an angel with the multitude of heavenly host praising God
Speaker 1: and saying glory to God in the highest and on
Speaker 1: the earth, peace, goodwill toward men. Luke, Chapter two, verse
Speaker 1: thirteen through fourteen. It's no wonder as they look down
Speaker 1: at the handiwork. He is truly the master conductor of
Speaker 1: the universe, coordinating everything from the beginning.
Speaker 3: Amen to that. That's crazy.
Speaker 5: A lot of depth right there, a lot of backing
Speaker 5: it up right there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and even the gifts. You know, because they
Speaker 1: talked about the wise men, but the wise man Uh
Speaker 1: is not in uh, Luke. You gotta go to Matthew
Speaker 1: for that. So if you go to Matthew chapter two,
Speaker 1: that's where you have the wise men encounter.
Speaker 4: Let's see, well, each of the gifts had a different meaning,
Speaker 4: and like the gold being for a gift for a king,
Speaker 4: I mean that would be a gift for a king, right,
Speaker 4: And then I'm trying to remember the murrh and frankensons
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, gold was the kingship, frankinsense was the
Speaker 1: symbolizing the deity, and the murder was the death.
Speaker 4: That was what you part of the part of the
Speaker 4: embalming processes with the smell.
Speaker 1: So uh with the wise men. And here's where you
Speaker 1: get into to the astrology part of it that ties
Speaker 1: it even together even more. June seventeenth to BC, Venus
Speaker 1: traveled east towards Jupiter. Both converged and appeared to be
Speaker 1: one bright star. There was also a full moon on
Speaker 1: this day from both sides of the dome of the
Speaker 1: sky was lit brightly. The wise men of Babylon noticed
Speaker 1: and went out to follow this star and find the
Speaker 1: birth of this king that was in the stars, that
Speaker 1: was foretold in the stars. And three months later, because
Speaker 1: of course they're not going to find it instantaneously, they
Speaker 1: had to travel for a ways. This was like a
Speaker 1: like a bat signal pretty much. They had to go
Speaker 1: find it and it says and three months later on
Speaker 1: September the eleventh, one year. Three months later September eleventh,
Speaker 1: three BC, they did Mike Haser's Reversing Hermon and the
Speaker 1: Star that Astonished the World by Ernest Martin, or two
Speaker 1: books you can look at that goes into great detail
Speaker 1: about this. This was no single star that they followed,
Speaker 1: but a set of stars slash constellations. Revelation twelve is
Speaker 1: a description of the birth of Jesus. It's not just
Speaker 1: metaphoric but physical. In the heavens, it was constellations. Psalms
Speaker 1: nineteen one says the heavens declare the glory of God,
Speaker 1: and the sky above declares his handiwork. It pours out
Speaker 1: speech and reveals knowledge. Romans ten Paul tells us the
Speaker 1: heavens communicated the coming of Jesus. Ancient people have been
Speaker 1: mapping the stars forever, the same stars they saw back
Speaker 1: then and documented we still see today. Genesis says God
Speaker 1: created the sun moon to separate day from night, and
Speaker 1: the stars and signs and seasons. Genesis one fourteen the
Speaker 1: sun tells the hour, the moon tells the month, the
Speaker 1: stars tell the seasons. It's like a perfect time peace
Speaker 1: or watch where they all take the same path continuously.
Speaker 1: And the ancient people documented these things so well that
Speaker 1: we can actually rewind those hands on that clock. So
Speaker 1: like the Revelation twelve breakdown is, you know where it's
Speaker 1: clearly astronomical. The sun, moon, and stars are mentioned are
Speaker 1: on her cloth in the sun, the twelve stars on
Speaker 1: her head, and the moon under her feet. You know,
Speaker 1: cloth in the sun simply means the Sun being in
Speaker 1: the midst of the constellation's virgo, between the neck and
Speaker 1: the knees, which I believe the womb she is pregnant
Speaker 1: with the Sun, who turns out to be God after all.
Speaker 1: But the Sun would have to be located between one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy degrees along
Speaker 1: the ecliptic. This clothing of the Sun in virgo occurs
Speaker 1: for a twenty day period each year. This twenty degree
Speaker 1: spread could indicate the general time when Jesus was born,
Speaker 1: but the moon under her feet really narrows the window.
Speaker 1: It's roughly a nine minute window to astronomically pinpoint the
Speaker 1: birth of Jesus. The twelve stars on her head is Leo,
Speaker 1: the lion king. Jesus was also from the line of Judah,
Speaker 1: the prophesized line of Judah. The dragon under her waiting
Speaker 1: to devour the child is the constellation Hydra, who coincidentally
Speaker 1: has seven heads like the one in Revelation. All these
Speaker 1: things lining up perfectly to give us the date of
Speaker 1: the birth of Jesus, which is September eleventh, three BC.
Speaker 3: Oh some stuff.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that was long winded.
Speaker 3: No, that's what it takes. Man, that's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: That was all the info. You got to give the
Speaker 4: background to line it all up.
Speaker 5: And I mean, if you look the sun, you know
Speaker 5: it moves down into the southern hemisphere all year long
Speaker 5: until it comes to the southernmost point at December the
Speaker 5: twenty fifth, and that's your assault is right there. And
Speaker 5: then perceive it will be the Sun stops moving after
Speaker 5: moving southbound all year long, after those three days of
Speaker 5: being stuck and moving south all year along, it's perceivably
Speaker 5: aligned with.
Speaker 3: What's called a constellation, the Crux.
Speaker 5: And then after three days, the Sun, after moving southbound
Speaker 5: all year long, starts to move northward.
Speaker 3: And this right here is when.
Speaker 5: The sun's starting to become more powerful and dominant. Of course,
Speaker 5: then it rises up and goes into the northern hemisphere.
Speaker 1: And just like the scripture says, you know, the stars
Speaker 1: foretell you know the glory of God and his handiwork.
Speaker 1: The croox is a cross, yes, So the sun goes to.
Speaker 3: The crosses on the cross three days. You said three days.
Speaker 1: Then it scends and is headed back to the northern hemisphere.
Speaker 3: Ye, after moving southbound all year long. So I mean,
Speaker 3: the stars definitely not.
Speaker 1: Just a coincidence. I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Well, it's probably a conspiracy. Let's just be honest about it.
Speaker 4: That's a bad word, right, I.
Speaker 3: Love it though. That's awesome stuff. Man, that spot on, Yeah,
Speaker 3: did a great job. Jab well.
