So, uh, yeah, 11 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.880 So we've gone over some very important meet of the Bible, 12 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.640 you know, the past, uh, the past, uh, you know, 13 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:52.240 six episodes and we're gonna get into some very interesting 14 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.719 stuff in this uh parts of the Bible for sure. 15 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.079 And yeah, the Abraham, the Abraham Covenant is what we're 16 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.439 going to go over. And also we're going to go 17 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:10.319 over some very important typologies of Abraham with Isaac. Very 18 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:15.239 interesting information there. So we'll kind of get into it first. 19 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.079 We're going to start out at Genesis twenty one, Verse one. 20 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.040 If you want to follow along. So Isaac is born, 21 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.159 so it says, and the Lord visited Sarah as he said, 22 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.280 and the Lord did for Sarah as he had spoken for. 23 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.120 Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, 24 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.359 and the set time which God had spoken to him, 25 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.760 and Abraham called the name of his son who was 26 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.680 born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. So 27 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.280 let's stop there real quick now. Isaac. Actually the name 28 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.159 it means laughter, I'm sure laughing in a way of joy. 29 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.040 But also if you go back to Genesis eighteen twelve 30 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.280 through fifteen, we already kind of talked, we already went 31 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.199 over this before. But Sarah she laughs at herself, saying, 32 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.719 after I am worn out and my Lord is old, 33 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.479 shall I have pleasure basically talking, She's kind of lacked 34 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.000 when God was telling her that she's going to conceive 35 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.560 and bore a child. So that's, you know, part of 36 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.879 the reason why his name is laughter. So yeah, so 37 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.199 I want to go over also Romans fifteen, verses four 38 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.599 through six, just so we know, like anything that's written 39 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.080 here or for learning through patients comfort scriptures that might 40 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.840 have so it says for whatever things were written before 41 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.680 we're written for our learning that through the patients and 42 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.639 comfort of the scriptures, might we have hope now made 43 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.039 the God of patience and comfort grant to you like 44 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.319 minded toward one another according to Christ Jesus, that you 45 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.120 may with one mind, one mouth, glorified God and Father 46 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.479 of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Right. So all it's just 47 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.120 telling you there is that you know, everything is written 48 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.719 for learning and for a reason. Right, So all this 49 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.039 stuff is all written for learning and for a reason. 50 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.879 So we're gonna find out, you know, some very interesting 51 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.479 stuff here. So also I want to let you know 52 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.759 that it took twenty five years for this promise to 53 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.960 be fulfilled for Isaac to be born. So you got 54 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.719 to understand. I kind of went over this on other episodes. 55 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:40.000 The older that Isaac and Abraham, I'm sorry Abraham and 56 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.439 Sarah became the less faith they had in having a child, 57 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.879 you know, because which is understandable. But when God makes 58 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.120 a promise and tells you that you're gonna bore a 59 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.240 child through Sarah, he is going to fulfill his promise. 60 00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:00.159 And Abraham, I'm sure he knew that, but it's just 61 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.960 became more and more a parent that his faith became. 62 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.639 It seemed like less and less as they got older, 63 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.719 you know, which makes sense because you you know, if 64 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.079 you're at the age of ninety, which Sarah was ninety 65 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.480 when she had Isaac, you know, can you imagine being 66 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.000 a ninety year old woman and having a child. I 67 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.319 mean it must have been. First of all, it's spectacular, 68 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.839 and it's a miracle, you know, similar to when Jesus 69 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.240 was born. You know, Jesus was born through a virgin, 70 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:37.519 which was a miracle. You know, Isaac was born after 71 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.160 she felt like her womb was closed, and she obviously 72 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.319 was trying to conceive and believing that she was going 73 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.720 to conceive. But the older she got, the tougher it 74 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.759 was for her, and so much so that even when 75 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.519 the Lord came to Abraham in Genesis eighteen, before they 76 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.519 went to some to Megamora, before the two angels with 77 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.240 the Sadom Megamorah, the Lord said it again, you know, 78 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.800 and she inside laughed, and the Lord kind of checked 79 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.959 her on that, like why are you laughing? And even 80 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.879 asked Abraham why was she laughing? And not the same 81 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.879 way that Abraham when he fell down and laughed. I 82 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.800 think that was more of a playful thing. But I 83 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.839 think Sarah laughed like like, huh really, you know, uh, 84 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.839 so I think that's very important. So so it's interesting 85 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.480 that she calls you know, Isaac laughter. Right, So let's 86 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.120 let's continue reading and understand, guys, it's all about faith, 87 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.800 you know. So back then, also understand that they didn't 88 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.040 have the Bible to read, they didn't have the Torah 89 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.519 to read, they didn't have the Holy Bible to read. 90 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.079 So they don't even know the characteristics of God. The 91 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.720 only way that they know the characteristics of God is 92 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.319 by trusting God, by having faith, and by also the 93 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.680 actions of God, you know, And that's what they had. 94 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.240 He had a first hand account from God, and he 95 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.600 was able to speak to God. And actually it says 96 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.959 that he was able to eat with God, which was 97 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.920 so interesting. And we went over that in Genesis eighteen. 98 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.560 So let's continue reading here. So we're on Genesis twenty 99 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:34.120 one four. Then Abraham circised circumcised his son Isaac that 100 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.519 when he was eight years old, as God had commanded him. Now, 101 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.720 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac 102 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.000 was born. And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, 103 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.519 and with all who will laugh with me. She also said, 104 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.759 who would you have said? Who would have said to 105 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.720 Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne 106 00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:00.680 him a son at his old age. So she's super excited, joyful, happy. 107 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.120 You know. In that culture, it's all about having children, 108 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.680 boring children. Throughout the Bible, you're going to find people 109 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.160 that their womb is closed. They're trying to have children 110 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.959 and bore children, and it's hard for them, and they 111 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.800 have to pray and pray and pray. We have examples 112 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.839 like Hannah Rachel. We're gonna get a little bit further 113 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.519 in the Bible and show you that where people they 114 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.720 prayed and prayed and prayed to have children and their 115 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.240 womb was closed, you know, and as they pray and 116 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.560 they get gathered, we're faith. You know, God was able 117 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.560 to open the womb. So something we find out here 118 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.319 as we're going through Who gives you the ability to 119 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.160 have children? Who blesses you with children? Who forms these 120 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.560 children in the womb? God does? Okay, he is able 121 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.639 to control that. That's what the Bible's telling us here. 122 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.319 So we got to understand that. So and certain people 123 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.120 can't have children for certain reasons and certain things happen, 124 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.800 you know. But some people are blessed with the gift 125 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.439 of singleness and they're not married. You know. Paul was 126 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.240 talking about that in the Bible, that he was blessed 127 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.600 with the gift of singleness. Some people are blessed with 128 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.720 having many children, some people that I agree with probably 129 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.279 what people do. Think some of them don't deserve it, 130 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.600 you know, and they might be doing bad stuff and 131 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.279 you know, and things happen, you know, in life. But yeah, 132 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.480 we just want to understand that. And now we're going 133 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.240 to get into Genesis twenty one some of the drama 134 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.600 that unfolds when you go against what God tells you 135 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.919 and you end up going with your maiden like Abraham 136 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.080 did and then boring a child. You know, this is 137 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.600 something that happened in the earlier chapters which you've gone over. 138 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.679 But we see what happens when you don't obey God. 139 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.799 You go and listen to your wife and do your 140 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.279 own thing by going, you know, becoming one with Hagar 141 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.039 and having Ishmael. But he's still you know, as we're 142 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:08.759 gonna read, he still does promise Hagar, you know, through 143 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.399 Ishmael blessings as well. So but let's let's read this. 144 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.600 It says Genesis twenty one, verse eight. So the child 145 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.519 grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast 146 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.399 on the day the same day that Isaac was weaned, 147 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.279 and Sarah saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom 148 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.080 she had born to Abraham scoffing. All right, let's uh, 149 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:37.200 let's understand this real quick. So when a child weaned 150 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:42.159 back then, what that is is weaning, is weaning off 151 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:47.120 the breast, right, that's that's when you stop breastfeeding. And understand, 152 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.960 back then, some people say that they stop breastfeeding is 153 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.720 as late as like twelve, but if you know, when 154 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.080 you do deep studies, it looks like it's more like 155 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.600 three to five years old. Now, what we got to 156 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.759 understand first of all, is that breast milk has so 157 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.159 many nutrients and it's super healthy for you. So back then, 158 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.759 they were you know, moving city to city, tent to tent. 159 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.279 Some of them were nomads, and you know, in that culture, 160 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.919 you stop breastfeeding a lot later than we do now. 161 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.960 You know, we see people that stop breastfeeding, you know, 162 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.480 at one years old, some children at six years old, 163 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.879 but are six months old. I'm sorry, so what happens 164 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.440 with them is we have some kind of replacements that 165 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.879 we use, like formula or something like that. See, back then, 166 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.759 they couldn't go to Walmart and buy formula, you know, 167 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.559 they just they were giving them this breast milk because 168 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.879 there's so many nutrients in it and a lot it's 169 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.720 a lot more convenient for us now to wean them 170 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.679 off of the breast. But you know, even some kids 171 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.360 don't even get to breastfeed because some women, you know, 172 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.519 it's hard for them to breastfeed, right, so they end 173 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.399 up just doing formula. But you know, we have those 174 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.759 replacements nutrients and stuff like that in the formula that 175 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.720 they didn't obviously have back then. They couldn't go to 176 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.600 Walmart and go buy this. So they would wean like 177 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:12.879 at three to five years old and these and obviously 178 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:19.639 they would actually celebrate this, you know. So and what 179 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:24.200 was happening here is Abraham he made a feast that 180 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.799 same day Isaac was weaned, So they we're celebrating the 181 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.639 fact that he's weaning off the breast. Right. And Sarah, 182 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.120 she saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian Ishmael scoffing. 183 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.720 We could try to you know kind of see what 184 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.879 that word means. But scoffing is basically like making fun 185 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.799 or or or laughing at the child and kind of 186 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.480 making fun of the child, you know, which Sarah obviously 187 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.600 is not liking at this moment. It's offending her greatly. 188 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:02.200 And so what she said to Abraham is cast out 189 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.559 this bond woman and her son, for the son of 190 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.639 this bond woman shall not be heir with my son, 191 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.600 namely with Isaac. And the matter was very displeasing in 192 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.879 Abraham's sight because of his son. See, but here's what happens. 193 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:22.840 I think I think there's you know, God's promise is 194 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.320 through Isaac. Obviously Jesus comes through the line of Isaac, 195 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:34.360 very important. And God doesn't want this beef to continue 196 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:43.320 between Sarah and between Hagar, right, so it's causing problems 197 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.519 between the you know, for the relationship between Abraham and 198 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:51.840 now Abraham is probably keeping Hagar around, not because he 199 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.080 wants to continue to sleep with her or continue to 200 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.519 be with her, it seems, but only keeping Hagar around 201 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.399 to take care of Ishmael because this is his son 202 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.919 as well. Right. So it's obviously when you have a child, 203 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.960 which I have three and I actually have two more 204 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.279 on the way. Uh, you know, God willing, I have 205 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.039 twins in the oven. You know, my wife is pregnant. 206 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.799 So uh, God is great and he does he miss 207 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.679 you know, he does miracles and gave us some twins. 208 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.759 You know, so I understand how it is. I don't 209 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.120 know how it is to have a child with somebody 210 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.519 else and then still have my wife. That's you know 211 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.679 that that's happening a lot nowadays. But obviously, uh, you 212 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.200 don't see it a lot where you're you're with your 213 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.320 wife and then you know the girl that you're with 214 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.480 your ex is actually you know, living in the same household. 215 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.159 You could see how uncomfortable that would be, you know. 216 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.159 So this is what's happening. So obviously there's an ongoing 217 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.039 beef that Sarah had in the very beginning. She didn't 218 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:57.159 she she she gave him permission to go into her, 219 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.360 but you could tell right away that there was some 220 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.759 jealousy and that she was kind of like, hey, I 221 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.759 don't want you to, you know, I don't want you 222 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.360 to you know, she didn't want it to happen. She 223 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.159 obviously she approved it, and she said it because she 224 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.120 felt like, you know, her faith was going down. But 225 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.279 obviously you see here it's starting to bother her now 226 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.879 where she's like send them away, And it was hurting 227 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:24.559 Abraham deeply here. But he sought the Lord, you know. 228 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.639 It seems like he went to the Lord, and in 229 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.080 his old age he's learning to do this a lot 230 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.399 more to sought the Lord, you know. So this is 231 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.159 what God said to Abraham, it says, but God said 232 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.720 to Abraham, do not let it be displeasing in your 233 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.639 sight because of the lad Ishmael or because of your 234 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.159 bond woman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to 235 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.600 her voice. For in Isaac your seed shall be called. 236 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.320 Yet I will also make a nation of the son 237 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:57.120 of the bond woman, because he is your seed. So 238 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.240 Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and 239 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.440 skin of water, putting it on her shoulder. He gave 240 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.399 it and the boy to Hagar and sent her away. 241 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.039 Then she departed, wandering in the wilderness of Bersheba. So 242 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.799 that's what's happening here. Let's go and check out something 243 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:21.200 real quick that is interesting about this situation. First of all, 244 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:25.600 you guys could imagine your son, you sending your son 245 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:30.759 off like that. It's really, it would be really hard 246 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.919 to do that, obviously, because I think they said he 247 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.840 was a teenager at this point. So Abraham loved Ishmael 248 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.000 as well, and Abraham love Isaac, Isaac through Sarah. With Sarah, 249 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.600 he loved so much. But do you really want this 250 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.559 kind of fighting and stuff happening there between him? But 251 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.919 this is a very interesting passage even it's used by 252 00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:01.519 Paul and in illustration of Christians that you know, kind 253 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.360 of the illustration is that legalistic Christians that are in 254 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.879 bondage compared to the Christians that are free in faith. 255 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.480 So let's go ahead and read that Real Quick escalationis 256 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.559 for twenty two through thirty one, and he uses this 257 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:20.080 scenario to kind of explain people that are in bondage 258 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.600 compared to like a free, free person that's in faith, 259 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.080 you know, full of grace. So listen it says, for 260 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.279 it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one 261 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.879 by a bond woman and the other by a free woman. 262 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.759 But he is but he was on the But he 263 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.240 who was of the bond woman was born according to 264 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.840 the flesh, and he of the free women through promise, 265 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.399 which things are symbolic, for there are two covenants, the 266 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.879 one from Mount Sinai, which gives birth to bondage, which 267 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.799 is Hagar. For Hagar is in Mount Sinai and Arabia, 268 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.080 and corresponds to Jerusalem, which now is and is in 269 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.880 bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, 270 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.319 which is the mother of all of us all, for 271 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.799 it is written, rejoice, oh barn you who do not bear, 272 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.160 break forth, And shall you who are in labor not 273 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.319 in labor. For the desolate that has many children, then 274 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.480 she who has a husband. Now we are brethren, as 275 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:28.720 Isaac was, are children of promise, as he was born 276 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.160 according to the flesh. Then persecuted him who was born 277 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.880 according to the spirit, So saying basically that Isaac was 278 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.400 born according to the spirit, obviously because God was involved, 279 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.960 and you know, it's a miracle. The other one was 280 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.680 born according to the flesh, right according to Abraham, going 281 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.680 against God. Not like God told them not to do that. 282 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.680 But obviously they made that plan themselves, and they went 283 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.160 according to the flesh instead of according to the spirit. 284 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.359 Even it is so. Now, nevertheless, what does the scripture say, 285 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.480 cast out the bond woman and her son, For the 286 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.680 son of the bond woman shall not be heir with 287 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.519 the son of the free woman. So then brethren, we 288 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.240 are are we not children of the bond woman, but 289 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.960 of the free right. So we got to understand that 290 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.480 we are actually free of bond slavery, and we know 291 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:29.680 we're in grace, but we got to understand though there's 292 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.720 some there's definitely some things there. I want to bring 293 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.440 that up because that's the he uses this story in 294 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:39.240 particular to kind of go over that subject. But what 295 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:43.960 we got to understand is, if you look at James, 296 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.400 faith is dead without works, right. So we'll get into 297 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.400 that later in the New Testament. But you know, so 298 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.000 we got to make sure that we got to kind 299 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.839 of define what faith is there. You know, we are 300 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.240 saved by grace through faith, but we got to define 301 00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.759 what faith is. Is faith just believing, Yeah, that's what 302 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.000 it's says in John three sixteen, but also in James, 303 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.079 it says that faith is dead without works, right, So 304 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.960 we got to make sure. I'm not saying that we're 305 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.920 saved by works. It says that we're not saved by works. 306 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.680 No man shall boast. But what I am telling you 307 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.160 is that you got to be a disciple, and you 308 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.240 got to, you know, there's a lots to it. So obviously, 309 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.039 right now, this is just the foundation we're building for 310 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.480 you guys as we're going through the Word of God. 311 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.039 But what I like to do is when I find 312 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.119 something that matches the stories that I'm going over and 313 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.519 matches certain things, I like to go up to the 314 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.920 New Testament and show you guys when they're using these 315 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:39.160 type of examples, so that you can see why I'm 316 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.359 going through the Book of Genesis and why I'm going 317 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.400 to try to go through the Old Testament before we 318 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.039 get to the New Testament, right, because there's some important 319 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.960 stuff here, and there's a foundation being laid for whom 320 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.519 for Jesus when he comes right and this is an 321 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.640 example of that. You see that good still comes out 322 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.839 of evil, right evil, you know, being Abraham going and 323 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:12.160 hooking up with Hagar and having Hagar have Ishmael and Ishmael, 324 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:16.079 there's still twelve kings that come out of him and 325 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.680 all these nations come out of him as well. So 326 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.119 there's some good that comes out of evil, you know. 327 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.559 So let's continue reading here. It says that then she 328 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.759 departed and wandered Hagar into the wilderness of Beersheba, and 329 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.319 the water in the skin was used up, and she 330 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.880 placed the boy under one of the shrubs. Then she 331 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.519 went and sat across from him, at a distance of 332 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.319 about a bow shop. First she said to herself, let 333 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.599 me not see the death of the boy. So she 334 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.920 sat opposite of him and lifted her voice and wept. 335 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.039 Another thing we got to understand here is the angel 336 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.680 of the Lord came to Hagar when she first got 337 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.240 sent out, when and Sarah sent her out the first 338 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:07.319 time and told her that many nations will come through 339 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.400 is Ishmael. So there was a promise there. He said, I, 340 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.359 you know, will make your descendants as much as the stars. Right, 341 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.359 so there was already a promise back then. Hagar has 342 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.319 gone through fifteen years. Maybe I don't know how old 343 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.039 he was at the time. Some people say he was 344 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.440 fifteen at this time. Sixteen. Maybe she forgot about that 345 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:35.079 promise because right here she is thinking that the boy's 346 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:39.920 gonna die. All Abraham gave her was the water and 347 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.440 you know enough, you know, some bread. He could have 348 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.720 given her so much more, but he sent her off 349 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.119 with this amount. Obviously, I think, you know, this is 350 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.440 just me speculating, and that he didn't want to get 351 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.240 Sarah mad and try to show favor to her and 352 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.039 give her, So what he did is he just gave 353 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:03.400 her through faith and bread, knowing that his descendants will 354 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.160 be many, so obviously he's going to live through this. 355 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.640 So he gave her the amount that he felt and 356 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.720 sent them on their way. And obviously they're going through 357 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.079 the desert. Water is scarce, and they used up all 358 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:20.799 their water, and she is now weeping, crying. Now God 359 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.559 has obviously seen everything that she's been through. She was 360 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.480 a servant, an Egyptian servant to Abraham and Sarah and 361 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.920 been with them for a long time. She was just 362 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.880 serving them, and then she ended up Abraham ended up 363 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.359 going into her having Ishmael, and she was probably taking 364 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.119 care of Ishmael, probably a good mom, doing her thing, 365 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.720 and then Sarah all of a sudden said, hey, you 366 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:48.039 know what, send them away. So now she's in an 367 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:50.680 I feel bad for this woman. Now she's in a 368 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.279 position where she's in the desert. They're out of water, 369 00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:57.359 you know, they're probably out of food, and they're just like, 370 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.680 she's crying out to the Lord, not want to see 371 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.759 my son die. So they go a bow shot away, 372 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.480 and she's crying out and who hears her? And God 373 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.359 heard the voice of the lad. So she was weeping. 374 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:19.119 But obviously Ishmael was probably like praying, God, if you're real, 375 00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:23.799 you know, I need you, you know. So God heard 376 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.039 the voice of the lad Ishmael. Then the Angel of 377 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:31.960 God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, 378 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.480 what ails you? Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard 379 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:39.599 the voice of the lad where he is a rise, 380 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.319 Lift up the lad, Hold him with your hand, for 381 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.599 I will make him a great nation. So now once 382 00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:49.799 again we got that promise coming back. And this is 383 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:54.319 the Angel of God. So this is really interesting. It 384 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:58.359 doesn't say an angel a n it says the Angel 385 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.400 of God. There's also an the Bible the angel of 386 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.440 the Lord. I think this is interesting. And he's also 387 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:09.000 speaking from heaven. I always have to tell you guys 388 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:14.039 certain things. How is he speaking from heaven on this 389 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:19.079 heliocentric model where heaven is further and further ever expanding away. 390 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.039 He's speaking from heaven because God's throne is located above 391 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.960 the firmament. Speaking from heaven down to the earth. This 392 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.079 is no problem on the model I've taught you guys, 393 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.720 go back to the very first episode and you will 394 00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:37.119 see very interesting. So then God opened her eyes and 395 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.200 saw a well, and she saw a well of water, 396 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.440 and she went and filled the skin with the water 397 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.880 and gave the lad a drink. So God was with 398 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:50.000 the lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness 399 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.079 and became an archer. He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, 400 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.640 and his mother took a wife for him from the 401 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.319 land of Egypt. So we don't know if this well 402 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.920 was then, and he just led her to the well. 403 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.640 We don't know if this is supernaturally put by God, 404 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:10.519 but somehow that well was. She saw the well and 405 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.519 they got to drink, filled the wine skin and gave 406 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.759 the lad a drink. And that that's what they need 407 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.680 in the desert. When you're walking through the desert, just 408 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.680 you know you're feeling like you're about to die. Well, 409 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:26.039 God provided, right. God promised already in earlier chapters that 410 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.119 he was gonna have many as much as the stars, 411 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.079 just like he promised Abraham that he was descendants will 412 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.480 be as much as the stars. Said the same thing. 413 00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.880 The Angel of the Lord said this to Hagar, So 414 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.240 he's keeping his promise. That's what we're seeing here a 415 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:46.519 lot and in these chapters is God is keeping his promise. Now. Obviously, 416 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.680 if you feel like, hey, God has taken to way 417 00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.200 too much time, we're not. God is not on our watch. 418 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.400 He's on his own watch, and he has his own plan, 419 00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.319 he has his own will, and he's gonna let it 420 00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.160 be done. But if he makes you a promise, obviously 421 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:05.039 it's gonna be fulfilled, you know. And we see that here. Now, 422 00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:09.200 sometimes us humans we forget, We just go, hey, you 423 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.720 know what, I know, he might have promised me this, 424 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.799 Like you know, Abraham and Sarah they kind of just 425 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.039 you know, start laughing and giggling at the fact that 426 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:21.559 God promised them twenty five years ago. Look they have Isaac, 427 00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.359 and look at this. They're in the desert. They're about 428 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.880 to die of thirst. And what happens, God delivers. God's 429 00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:33.599 promise comes through again and it's very interesting. So, you know, 430 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:39.680 and later on we'll hear about his descendants Ishmael, but 431 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.880 we don't really hear anymore where Abraham and Ishmael get 432 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:50.200 back together and talk or speak. Now, who knows what happened, 433 00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:53.119 But it's not biblically written that you don't see them 434 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.200 get back together and talk or anything like that, or 435 00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.440 Hagar and Abraham talking. In any way, we do find 436 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:05.359 out who who what descendants come through Ishmael's line, which 437 00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:11.039 is very important. You know, a covenant with Abimelech. And 438 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.279 it came to pass that at the time that Abimelech 439 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.519 and and Ficole, the commander of his army, spoke to 440 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:23.119 Abraham saying, God is with you and all that you do. Now, therefore, 441 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.279 swear to me by God that you will not deal 442 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.559 falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity, 443 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.759 but according to the kindness that I have done to you, 444 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.599 that you will do to me and to the land 445 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.359 in which you have dwelt. And Abraham said, I swear, 446 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:43.799 I will swear. Then Abraham rebuked to Bimlic because of 447 00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.799 a well of water which a Bimlik servants had seized. 448 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.400 So let's stop there. They're in the desert. You know, 449 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.400 this is so important. Water is vastly important. It's something 450 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:03.000 that we actually take for granted. We get in America, 451 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.359 not saying in other countries. Some countries they don't take 452 00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.039 it for granted because they don't get you know, they 453 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:08.880 don't get the water that we get. But I work 454 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.279 for the water industry, you know, I work for a 455 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.599 water company, and we definitely do take it for granted. 456 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.599 I see what goes on behind the scenes to deliver 457 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.640 this water, and there is a lot of infrastructure and 458 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.720 things that need to be taken care for this water 459 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:27.119 to be delivered. But this is right here. You see 460 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.039 that Abraham rebuke to Bimleck because of a well of water. 461 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:35.240 So excuse me, And abim Malek said, I do not 462 00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.720 know who has done this thing. You do not tell me, 463 00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:41.839 nor had I hurt it until today. A Bimlek is 464 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.039 a king. One of his servants is having a dispute 465 00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.640 with Abraham about a well. Looks like they try to 466 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:52.759 take it from him, and Abraham is bringing us to 467 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.759 his attention, and at bim Malik is like, hey, you 468 00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:58.400 know what, I'm busy with all this other stuff going on. 469 00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:00.960 I didn't realize this happened, But now that you brought 470 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.400 it to my attention, I will take care of it. 471 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.559 So Abraham took two sheep and oxen and gave them 472 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.279 to a Bimelek, and the two of them made a covenant, 473 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:17.240 and covenant is basically two people coming together and making 474 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.759 that covenant. And let's read this. It says in Abraham 475 00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.039 set seven ooh lambs of the flock by themselves. Then 476 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.640 a Biboleic asked Abraham, what is the meaning of the 477 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.680 seven uh lambs which you have set themselves? And he said, 478 00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.480 you will take these seven uh lambs from my hand, 479 00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:35.720 and they may be my witnesses that I have dug 480 00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:39.519 this well. Therefore he called that place Bersheba, because the 481 00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:43.519 two of them swore an oath there. Thus they made 482 00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:47.880 a covenant in Bersheba. So Bimelek rose with Ficole, the 483 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.240 commander of the army, and they returned to the land 484 00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:54.759 of the Philistines. Then Abraham planted a tamaris tree in Bersheba, 485 00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.559 and there called on the name of the Lord and 486 00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.559 the Everlasting God. And Abraham stayed in the land of 487 00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:03.079 the phili Sin's many days, all right, So I think 488 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:11.000 that's super interesting. Ishmael cried out to God, Abraham, yep, okay, 489 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.039 here we go. So I kind of went over that 490 00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:15.920 whole thing. I think that was a pretty cool little chapter, 491 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.759 the chapter twenty one, And now we're gonna get into 492 00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:25.359 some really interesting stuff in chapter twenty two. Here, this 493 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.119 is a very very interesting chapter right here. Okay, guys, 494 00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:35.359 this is Abraham's faith confirmed, all right, before we go 495 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:40.200 into this chapter. Actually, we'll read the chapter first and 496 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.440 then I will go into the hall of faith. You know, 497 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.079 there's a bunch of names mentioned in the Book of 498 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.319 Hebrews talking about how this faith is you know, is 499 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.400 been tested him and just shows all the faith that 500 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.759 all these these gentlemen had in the Bible. And I 501 00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:02.319 like to go over that. But let's read this Genesis 502 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.640 twenty two. It says, now, but came to past after 503 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.680 these things, that God tested Abraham and said to him, Abraham, 504 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:14.480 and he said, here I am he said. Then he said, haeik, 505 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:19.839 now your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, 506 00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.680 and go to the land of Mariah and offer him 507 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.680 as a burnt offering on one of the mountains in 508 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.559 which I shall tell you. All right. So, now this 509 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:36.960 is just something very very interesting because God he hates 510 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:43.279 human sacrifice. Okay, he hates human sacrifice. There's a you know, 511 00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.720 if you look in the Bible. Later on in the 512 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:47.880 later chapters, we're going to go over these things. But 513 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.240 Moloch was a god that they used to, you know, 514 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.319 put a fire and they would take children and put 515 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.720 them on the fire. There was a lot of stuff 516 00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:03.039 going to bail, human sacrifice offering to bail. Nowadays you 517 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:07.039 see satanic richul abuse and and things like that happening 518 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.680 behind the scenes where people are being sacrificed. We have 519 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:18.960 even if you go to Bohemian Grove, they do mock sacrifices. 520 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.000 They say, mock. Who knows if it is or not. 521 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.480 But also if you go to some videos of Cern, 522 00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:28.759 I've seen the one video of Cern where they were 523 00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:32.079 in front of Cern next to that destroyer Shiba, and 524 00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.599 they were doing a mock sacrifice. So maybe it's real. 525 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:38.480 I don't know, mock sacrifice, who knows, But it's things 526 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:43.319 that happen now. But what we have to understand, do 527 00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:48.680 you guys understand this whole thing right here? I want 528 00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:51.359 to show you real quick before God hates human sacrifice. 529 00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:54.400 Let's look at Leviticus twenty verses one through five, so 530 00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.759 I can kind of show you guys that then the 531 00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.599 Lord spoke to Moses saying again, you shall say to 532 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.279 the children of Israel, whoever of the children of Israel 533 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.279 or the strangers who dwell in Israel. Who gives any 534 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.480 of the descendants to Moloch, he shall surely be put 535 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.880 to death. The people of the land shall stone him 536 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.039 with stones. I will set my face against that man 537 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.640 and will cut him off from his people, because he 538 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.839 has given some of his descendants to Moloch to defile 539 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.599 my sanctuary and profane my holy name. And if the 540 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.640 people of the land should in any way hide their 541 00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:29.759 eyes from the man, then he gives of his descendants 542 00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.200 to Moloch and they do not kill him, then I 543 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.920 will set my face against that man and against his family, 544 00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.079 and I will cut him off from his people, who 545 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.200 prostitute themselves with him, and commit all the tree with Moloch. Okay, 546 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:52.000 So we got to understand. And so this is a 547 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.599 test for Abraham, a true test. Right, This is a 548 00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:00.440 test Abraham's faith. Did he need it? Okay? I was 549 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.640 just trying to read my notes, Sarah, So listen, this 550 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:05.680 is this is the chapter is called Abraham's Faith confirmed. 551 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.039 That's what it says here in my Bible. Right. So 552 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:13.519 got to understand, Like I said before, Abraham and Sarah 553 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.079 don't have the Holy Bible to read to find out 554 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:18.719 the character of God. They have a first hand account 555 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:23.239 of God. And what happened is he promised that Isaac 556 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.440 would have descendants, right, and it's going to be many 557 00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.679 as many as the stars. Right, So we got to 558 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.239 understand this. Abraham a covenant or promise. Abraham already knows 559 00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.239 that God has promised him this, and Abraham already delivered 560 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.280 Isaac already to him, telling him that Sarah would have 561 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:43.920 Isaac at old age, and it already happened. So at 562 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:48.920 this point Abraham's faith is strong and he acts a 563 00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:53.440 little different now, so much so that soon as God 564 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:55.760 told him this, you need to take your son bring 565 00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:58.480 him up on the land of Mariah, which, let me 566 00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.559 tell you, guys, this very interesting. If you go into it, 567 00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:06.119 it'd be Jerusalem and the highest mountain would actually be 568 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:11.679 go Gotha. So this is traditionally they say Mariah is 569 00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:15.440 where the temple was built, and the highest land is 570 00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.119 go Gotha. What's actually where Jesus was crucified, right, So 571 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:24.440 I think this is very interesting. Traditionally, right, they say 572 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.559 that that Mariah is where the is where the temple 573 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.519 was right, So, and the highest mountain would be go Gotha, 574 00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:37.679 where Jesus was crucified. So now we have Abraham kind 575 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.239 of being in the position of God the Father, and 576 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.159 Isaac being in the position of Jesus Christ right here right, 577 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.800 So we have Abraham, a human being, going to take 578 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.920 his They say, he says, your only son, whom you love. 579 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.840 Which I need you guys to understand that this is 580 00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:58.719 the first because we've already gone from Genesis one all 581 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:00.760 the way to Genesis twenty two. We've already read through 582 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.360 all that in the other episodes, and you don't ever 583 00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.039 see the word love. This is the first time the 584 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.480 word love appears. And when something appears for the first time, 585 00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.599 then it's always important. Okay, this is God knows that Abraham, 586 00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:19.599 he he is old age, he had this child. He 587 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.679 waited twenty five years for this promise the Russea, which 588 00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:28.079 whom he loved. This woman, she was beautiful even in 589 00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.079 her old age, so much that he was lying for, 590 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:33.280 you know, to tell all these kings and pharaohs about 591 00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:36.320 her so that they don't take her. But listen, he 592 00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:41.000 loved his son. Same thing in the New Testament, where 593 00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.800 God the Father loves Jesus like he's gonna give his 594 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:48.039 only be got well, Actually he loved the world, so 595 00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:50.519 he gave his only begotten son, for whoever believed him 596 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.400 shall not perish, or should not perish, but have everlasting life. Wow, 597 00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:57.679 now we have this a typology happening in the Old 598 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:02.679 Testament everythudevery the Old Testament. There's all these This is 599 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.400 foundations set up for the New Testament. This is a 600 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:09.880 foundation set up through Abraham to just this is prophetic 601 00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:13.320 stuff that's gonna happen here. That this is prophetic. You're 602 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.800 gonna see as I go through this. So he tells 603 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.400 him to take your son, Isaac, your only son, Isaac, 604 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:23.679 whom you love, and go to the land of Mariah 605 00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.760 and offer him as a burnt offering on one of 606 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:30.880 the mountains, of which I shall tell you. Choose that mountain, 607 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:34.039 because that's where Jesus is going to be crucified. This 608 00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.920 is why he's gonna lead you to that mountain. So 609 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.920 Abraham rose up early in the morning. No longer is 610 00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:42.559 he not listening to the Lord. But he has so 611 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.639 much faith that morning he woke up and said, here 612 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.920 we go, let's go. We're gonna go ahead and go 613 00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.639 up here. He has faith that God is gonna still 614 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.360 bring these descendants to Isaac. So either he's gonna have 615 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:56.239 to kill his son as this altar and God's gonna 616 00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.119 raise him from the dead, or God is gonna do 617 00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.760 some type of mirac this miracle or its or he's 618 00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.280 not gonna end up having to do this. He knows. So, 619 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.719 so Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled 620 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:12.440 his donkey and took two of his young men with him, 621 00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.320 and Isaac his son, and he split the wood from 622 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:17.679 the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place 623 00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.880 in which God had told him. Then on the third day, 624 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.559 very interesting, the third day. There's a lot of third days. 625 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.000 If you go through the Bible and kind of look 626 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.320 at all the threes of the the third day, or 627 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.119 Jesus rose again on the third day, you'll see, you know, 628 00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:33.800 you could do a Bible study and all the all 629 00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.760 this third day stuff. So on the third day, Abraham 630 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.039 lifted his eyes and saw the place so far off, 631 00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:42.599 and Abraham said to his young men, stay here with 632 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:45.920 the donkey the lad, and I will go yonder and worship, 633 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.840 and we will come back to you. So he's telling 634 00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:53.599 his servant, stay here with the donkey the lad. Isaac 635 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:56.400 and I will go yonder and worship, and we will 636 00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:00.440 come back to you. So he is declaring that he 637 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.880 is going to come back with Isaac. He knows he's 638 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.400 going to come back with Isaac. So Abraham took the 639 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:09.320 wood and burnt offering and laid it on his son, Isaac. 640 00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.679 So he's got the wood, and Isaac is carrying that 641 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:16.840 wood up the mountain. Who else carried the wood up 642 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.880 the mountain? Who else carried it? Jesus he carried the cross, right, 643 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.519 So this is a typology completely. Isaac, he's carrying the 644 00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.320 wood which he's going to go up that mountain. Jesus 645 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.280 carried the cross up to that mountain. You knew he 646 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.920 was going to die on sacrifice himself for our sins. 647 00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.039 So Abraham took the wood of the burno offering and 648 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.800 laid it on Isaac's son, and he took the fire 649 00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:42.199 in his hand and a knife, and the two of 650 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:50.840 them went together. If you look at that burst, if 651 00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.920 you look at that burst, when it says that two 652 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.320 of them went together, in a little bit further down, 653 00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.880 it means that the two of them went in agreement. 654 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.079 It says, but Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and 655 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:06.880 said my father. And he said, here I am my son. 656 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.840 Then he said, look the fire and the wood, but 657 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.800 where is the lamb of a burnt offering? And Abraham 658 00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:18.559 and said, my son, God will provide for himself the 659 00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:21.199 lamb for a burnt offering. So the two of them 660 00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:25.480 went together or went in agreement. That's what's really interesting. 661 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:29.719 They both went in agreement. And also he says, Abraham said, 662 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:34.599 my son, God will provide for him instead of saying 663 00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.320 for himself. And then and then in the King James, 664 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:44.119 let's read that really quick. And the King James, uh, 665 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:49.920 let's see what it says my father and here I 666 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.480 am my son. Behold the firing lamb and God, God said, 667 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:57.079 God will provide. It says God will provide himself a 668 00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.119 lamb for a burnt offering. Right, doesn't say for himself. 669 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.760 I think in the New King James, that's a bad translation. 670 00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:08.280 God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. 671 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:15.199 That's prophetic right there. That is prophecy that God will 672 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.519 provide himself a lamb instead of not for himself, but 673 00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:23.599 will provide himself a lamb. So let's go back to 674 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:27.360 the the New King James, and I read out of 675 00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.480 the New King James. Uh, and I will try to 676 00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.920 point these things out about the King James. The reason 677 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:33.320 why I read out of the New King James. I'm 678 00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.400 just gonna let you guys know. It's just it's it 679 00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:37.880 flows better for me because I'm reading the Bible to 680 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.280 you guys, and it's it's when I read the New 681 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.199 when I read the King James, I can read it 682 00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.320 and and you know, but uh, sometimes it's a little 683 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.800 choppy for me. So I'll go back when I see 684 00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.440 certain things that aren't in the in the in the 685 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:56.760 King James as best as I can. So let's go 686 00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:02.320 back to this. So Rose early. Okay, here I am son, 687 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:08.159 and my son God will provide for himself the lamb 688 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:11.199 for a burnt offering. So the two of them went together. 689 00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:14.920 Then they came to the place in which God had 690 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.599 told them. And God and Abraham built an authar there 691 00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:22.159 and an altar there, and placed the wood in order. 692 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:24.880 And he bound Isaac, his son, and laid him on 693 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:27.679 the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his 694 00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.440 hand and took the knife to slay his son. So 695 00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:33.519 you can imagine him if you're watching on a Patreoni ski. 696 00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:35.400 You could see what I'm saying. You can imagine him 697 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:39.159 just going up like this with the knife. And Abraham 698 00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:41.840 stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay 699 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:45.559 his son. All right, so let's stop there real quick. Wow, 700 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:49.800 Isaac the son that he loved, and it says his 701 00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:54.039 only son. That is not true because what about Ishmael. 702 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:58.039 But God is only recognizing Isaac because of his promise 703 00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:03.920 through Abraham. Right, he was the son that was built, 704 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:07.679 I mean, that was born through God. He's the promised one. 705 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:10.719 He is the one that was that was that's recognized 706 00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:14.960 here as this only begotten son. You know, kind of 707 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:18.000 the same type of language that God uses for Jesus. 708 00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:21.679 So interesting. You kind of see a lot of ways 709 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.760 that that there's connections between, you know, typology of Christ 710 00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:29.519 and Isaac. Really interesting. And Abraham stretched out his hand 711 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.599 took the knife to slay his son. But the Angel 712 00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:37.000 of the Lord steps in again, called to him from 713 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.679 heaven and said Abraham, Abraham. So we said, here I am. 714 00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:43.960 He said, do not lay your hand on the lad 715 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:47.400 or do anything to him. For now I know that 716 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.800 you fear God, since you have not withheld your son 717 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.320 your only son from me, all right? So what do 718 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:57.159 we have here? We have the Angel of the Lord, 719 00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:01.400 capital a the Messenger of the Lord. Some people believe 720 00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:03.840 and even me, I do believe that the Angel of 721 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.480 the Lord is Jesus in the Old Testament, a Christophany. 722 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:11.039 Here we have the angel or the messenger of the Lord. 723 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.719 I'm not saying that Jesus is an angel. Don't take 724 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.039 it that way. But that word angel doesn't mean angel 725 00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:19.039 like with the wings like he got in the background. Here. 726 00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:23.840 What that word means. It means messenger. Right, my whole 727 00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.480 screen is like you see that. It's like basically it's 728 00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:29.920 like too, like a fallen angel fighting against an angel. 729 00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:35.480 That's what this Josh Bunday Christian conspiracy podcast logo is. 730 00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:40.440 But this is so interesting. But the Angel of the 731 00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:43.800 Lord called to him from heaven, Abraham, Abraham, so listen 732 00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.960 once again, calling from heaven. But the Angel of the Lord, 733 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:54.760 I believe it's a Christophany, is witnessing a man, not Jesus, 734 00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.760 who's you know, I believe is God dying on the cross, 735 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.639 but a man about to do this the same thing 736 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:05.400 that's gonna happen in the New Testament later on where 737 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.760 God sends has only begotten son to die for our sins. 738 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:12.519 This is so interesting that the Angel of the Lord 739 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.599 shows up, the messenger of the Lord, the Word of 740 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:18.719 the Lord called out to him for Abraham. Abraham, so 741 00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:21.159 he said, here I am, And he said, do not 742 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.719 lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him. 743 00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:26.480 For now I know that you fear God, since you 744 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.800 have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. 745 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:34.800 So by this point Abraham's faith is built so much 746 00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.119 because God has, you know, fulfilled his promises with him. 747 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:40.519 He knows that God is going to fulfill his promise. 748 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:44.400 I believe that Abraham, by faith knew that even if 749 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.440 he did kill his son Isaac right here, that God 750 00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:50.239 is going to raise him from the dead or somehow 751 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.400 God's promise is going to be fulfilled. Now, what we 752 00:45:53.480 --> 00:46:00.360 have to understand is God. He must have known the 753 00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.519 voice of God. He must have known when he speaks 754 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:08.440 to God. He must know that more than now. Now, 755 00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:10.639 I hear a lot of people try to say, I 756 00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:13.079 heard the voice of the Lord and glory God told 757 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.000 me to do this, and God said I need to 758 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.679 do this, and you know, I don't know. I don't 759 00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:20.119 I've never had God speak to me like how he's 760 00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:24.679 speaking Abraham here. But man, he must have known the 761 00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:28.159 voice of the Lord, because you know, there is a devil, 762 00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:32.239 you know what I mean? And think about it. What 763 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.840 if the devil was telling him to do this? You 764 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:38.119 know what I mean? He obviously has so much faith 765 00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:41.119 in God that he knew that God was the one 766 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.760 testing him here, testing his faith? What kind of tests? 767 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:50.119 What kind of faith? Uh? You know is uh? You 768 00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:55.360 know your faith can't be can't be trusted if it 769 00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:59.000 can't be tested. That's pretty much what I wanted to 770 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.199 say there. And keep in mind that Abraham didn't have 771 00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:04.960 a Bible learn about God. He only trusted him from 772 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.840 his experiences. Like I was saying earlier, he trusted God 773 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:12.000 so much in this situation that I kind of want 774 00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:21.000 to tell you something real quick. Listen to James one, two, 775 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.440 and then fourth through eight says, my brother encountered all 776 00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:26.280 the joy when you fall into various trials. But let 777 00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:29.119 patience have its perfect work. Let that you may be 778 00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.920 perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, 779 00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:36.480 then let God. Then let him ask of God, who 780 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:41.199 gives to us liberally and without reapproach and to be 781 00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:44.119 given him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting. 782 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:46.840 For he who doubts as like a wave of the sea, 783 00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:50.599 driven and tossed in the wind. For not, for let 784 00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:53.760 not that man supposed that he will receive anything from 785 00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:56.360 the Lord. He is double minded, a man unstable in 786 00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:59.039 all ways. So I'm just talking about the faith aspect 787 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:03.920 of asking God. And then I also wanted to read 788 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:08.079 some more stuff to you guys about this scenario, and 789 00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:14.119 let's read. Let's read about faith really quick, the Hall 790 00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:15.679 of Faith, right, I kind of want to go like 791 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:17.840 a It's like, instead of Hall of Fame, it's the 792 00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:20.239 Hall of Faith. And I just want to read real 793 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:23.199 quick Hebrews eleven if you guys want to turn there, 794 00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:27.320 Hebrews eleven one through forty. I know it's a long 795 00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.440 bit to read, but I kind of want to go 796 00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.440 over this. It's very important we're save by grace through faith. 797 00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.920 All these people that I'm mentioning here have faith in. 798 00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:39.159 Abraham is mentioned here, and so is Isaac. Okay, Abraham 799 00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:42.000 and Isaac. This whole scenario is mentioned here. You'll catch 800 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.039 it as I'm reading. But there's also a lot of 801 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:48.800 other men of faith that are mentioned here. So I 802 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:53.000 think it's interesting. So now faith is the substance of 803 00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:58.639 things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. For 804 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.639 by it the elder obtained a good testimony. By faith, 805 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.039 we understand that the worlds were framed by the word 806 00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:13.639 of God. Very interesting. God spoke and things existed, so 807 00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:17.159 that the things which are seen were not made of 808 00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:23.199 things which are visible. By faith, Able offered to God 809 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:26.840 a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, to which he obtained 810 00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:30.400 witness that he was righteous God testifying of his gifts, 811 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:35.280 and through it, he, being dead, still speaks by faith. 812 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.719 Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, 813 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:41.800 and he was not found because of God had taken him. 814 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.880 For before he was taken he had this testimony that 815 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.519 he pleased God. But without faith, it is impossible to 816 00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:54.280 please him or please God. Right without faith, it is 817 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:58.039 impossible to please God. For he who comes to God 818 00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:01.039 must believe that He is and that He is the 819 00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:06.840 rewarder of those who diligently seek him by faith. Noah, 820 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:11.119 being divinely warned of things not seen, moved with godly fear, 821 00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:14.920 prepared an arc for saving his household by which he 822 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.480 condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which 823 00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.679 he according to faith. By faith, Abraham, here we go 824 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:26.199 obeyed when he was called to go to the place 825 00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:31.400 which he would receive as an inheritance, and he went out, 826 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.719 not knowing where he was going. By faith, he dwelt 827 00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:38.559 in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, 828 00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:42.800 dwelling intents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs by whom 829 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.440 of whom the same promise. For he waited for the 830 00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:51.280 city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 831 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:56.000 By faith. Sarah herself also received strength to conceive a seed, 832 00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:01.320 and she bore a child when she was age, because 833 00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:06.679 she judged him faithful, whom he had promised. Therefore, one 834 00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:10.559 man and him as good as dead, were born, as 835 00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:15.280 many of the stars and the sky, in multitude innumerable 836 00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.760 as the sand which is by the seashore. These all 837 00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.639 died in faith, not having received the promises, but having 838 00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:27.360 seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them, 839 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.239 and confessed that there were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 840 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.400 For those who say things declare plainly that they seek 841 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:37.920 a homeland, and truly, if they had called to mind 842 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:40.440 the country from which they had come out, they would 843 00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:43.519 have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a 844 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:47.920 better that is, a heavenly country, which is awesome. Therefore, 845 00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.239 God is not a shame to be called their god, 846 00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:53.360 for he has prepared a city for them by faith. 847 00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:57.159 Going back now to Abraham, by faith, Abraham, when he 848 00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:02.320 was tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received 849 00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:06.079 the promise that offered up his only begotten son, whom 850 00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:08.679 it was said, and Isaac, your siege shall be called, 851 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.639 concluded that God was able to raise him up even 852 00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:15.559 from the dead, from which the also received him in 853 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.280 a figurative sense. By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau 854 00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:24.320 concerning things to come by faith. Jacob, when he was dying, 855 00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:27.800 bless each one of the sons, Joseph and worship leaning 856 00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:31.119 on the top of his staff by faith. Joseph, when 857 00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:33.599 he was dying, made mention of the departure of children 858 00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:38.440 of Israel, and gave instruction concerning his bones by faith. Moses, 859 00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:40.920 when he was born, was hidden three months in the 860 00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:44.239 parents by his parents because they saw he was a 861 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.519 beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the King's command. 862 00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:51.559 Excuse me, I'm sorry about that command. By faith, Moses, 863 00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:54.119 when he became an age, refused to be called the 864 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:57.159 son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with 865 00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.880 the people of God than to enjoy the passing's pleasure 866 00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:03.000 of sin, estimating the reapproach of Christ's greater riches and 867 00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.320 the treasure of Egypt, for he looked to the reward 868 00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.440 by faith, he forsook Egypt by fearing the wrath of 869 00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:14.239 the king, he endured as seeing him as invisible. By faith, 870 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.239 he kept the passover and sprinkling of the blood, lest 871 00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:19.960 he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith, 872 00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:23.599 they passed through this red seeds as dry a land, 873 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:26.719 whereas the Egyptians attempted to do so. Where he drowned 874 00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:29.320 by faith. The walls of Jericho fell down after they 875 00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:32.840 encircled for seven days. By faith, the harle that Rahab 876 00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:36.880 did not perish with those who did not receive, and 877 00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:41.679 she had received the spies with peace. And I shall say, 878 00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:46.639 for the time fail me to tell him of Gibeon 879 00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:50.119 and Barack, Samson and Jacob, also David and Samuel, and 880 00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:53.960 the prophets whom, through faith the duke Kingdom's work. Righteousness 881 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:57.519 of taint promises stopped, the mouth of lions quenched, the 882 00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:00.679 violence of fire, escaped the edge of the out of 883 00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:04.320 the weakness, were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned 884 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.199 to the flight of the armies and aliens. Who received 885 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:11.280 army of the aliens. That's really interesting. Women received their 886 00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:14.800 dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not according 887 00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:18.239 to deliverance that might obtain better as resurrections. Still others 888 00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:22.119 had trial, mocking scourgings. Yes, of the chains of imprisonment. 889 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:26.519 They were stoned, and son and two were tempted and 890 00:54:26.599 --> 00:54:28.760 slain by the sword. So I just want to tell 891 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:34.880 you guys that it says that being desolate, afflicted, tormented, 892 00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.639 of whom the world is worthy. They wandered in deserts 893 00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:39.880 and mountains and dens and caves and the earth. All 894 00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:43.599 these things that were obtained and good testamentmony through faith. 895 00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.280 Did not receive the promise God having provided something better 896 00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:51.199 for us, They should not be made perfect apart from us. 897 00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:53.840 I read all that stuff just so you guys know 898 00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:56.679 that this is all by faith and in this life 899 00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:00.960 we live now. Man Moses was our sorry Abraham was 900 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:04.840 so faithful in obedience that he took his son that 901 00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:07.400 he loved up on the mountain. What I want to 902 00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:12.000 tell you, guys is I you know, I love my 903 00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:16.000 daughters so much. You know, once you have children, as 904 00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.239 you guys know that this story touches me in a 905 00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:22.199 different way now because before when I read this, when 906 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:25.280 I didn't have children, I would be like, Okay, well 907 00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:28.159 he's taking his son up and well sounds good. Whatever 908 00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:33.280 it's it's it's like it's it's not as meaningful as 909 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.679 when you have children. And you know, and if you 910 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:40.000 don't have a child and you read this, just understand 911 00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:42.960 that you can you can imagine the love that he 912 00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.719 had for Isaac and for God to tell him to 913 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:48.679 do this, He must have so much faith and obedience 914 00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:50.719 for him to take him up on this mountain. And 915 00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:54.000 I just think that we need to understand that these 916 00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:58.480 these types of scenarios are are are so important for 917 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:01.480 us to understand the faith which was so important for 918 00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:07.119 us to have, but also to understand the obedience that 919 00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:10.239 Abraham had that he went that morning, he took his 920 00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:12.920 son up there, knowing that God's going to provide and 921 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.920 did all this stuff obedience. You know, something that we 922 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.039 as Christians need to pray for. I think it's so important, 923 00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:22.679 me and myself included, geez, I try to pray to 924 00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:25.599 God for obedience. It's it's hard for some people in 925 00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:29.800 this life that are Christians and to even abstain from 926 00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:33.840 you know, from drinking, or abstain from smoking cigarettes, or 927 00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:39.920 abstain from watching pornography, or abstain from doing drugs, or 928 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.519 abstain from going to clubs and hooking up with a 929 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:46.199 bunch of women, or abstain from sexual pleasures or or 930 00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.440 or abstain from you know, just anything that we have 931 00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:54.119 because because everything is so readily available, it's hard for 932 00:56:54.199 --> 00:57:00.119 us right now. But obedience is so important that we 933 00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:03.519 see this and this is the lesson that we should understand. 934 00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:05.440 First of all, we need to have a lesson in 935 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:08.679 faith here that he is so faithful to God that 936 00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:10.840 he's going to bring his son, which he loves, up 937 00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:13.440 to that mountain knowing that God will provide. But also 938 00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:16.159 what we need to understand here is God is going 939 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.639 to do this later with his son Jesus for us, 940 00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:24.039 and he's actually watching a human being have so much faith. 941 00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:26.599 I mean, it had to make God smile. I don't know, 942 00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:29.320 doesn't say that God smiled, But I just think that 943 00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:33.079 I think that Jesus seeing this, you know, because I 944 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:35.719 believe that Jesus saw this as well, saying a human 945 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.039 being acting out the same thing that's going to happen 946 00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:42.039 later on. It's just crazy, these typologies that happen in 947 00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:44.480 the Bible that we need to learn from. But one 948 00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:47.559 thing we need to learn from as Christians and in 949 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.960 human beings, right here is the obedience of Abraham, the 950 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.920 faith of Abraham. Right That's why I was reading that, 951 00:57:55.880 --> 00:57:58.960 all of faith, all these different stories in the Bible 952 00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:03.599 which we will get to, we will learn from. Okay, 953 00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:09.000 so let's continue reading Genesis twenty two. Then Abraham lifted 954 00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:11.800 his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a 955 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.920 ram caught in the thicket by his horn. So Abraham 956 00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:17.239 went and took the ram and offered it up for 957 00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.840 a burnt offering instead of his son a ram er. 958 00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:23.800 I thought he was going to provide a lamb. He says, 959 00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:30.199 God himself will provide a lamb, But no, he provided 960 00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:33.800 a ram. Is Abraham a liar? No? When he said 961 00:58:33.800 --> 00:58:38.320 that statement, that is prophetic? Who is the lamb, God's 962 00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:43.119 only begotten son, Jesus Christ, that's the lamb. But he 963 00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:46.960 does provide here in this scenario a ram, which I 964 00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:55.000 thought was very interesting. I do believe that the reason 965 00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:59.000 why he provided the ram is because that prophetic that 966 00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:01.679 he's going to provide a lamb. It makes you think, 967 00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:04.679 what do you mean that he's gonna provide a lamb? Well, 968 00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.639 and Jesus is written in every page of the Old Testament, okay, 969 00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:12.199 and we see it right here. Who is that lamb? 970 00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.679 That is Jesus, right, that is Yrshu of the Missiak, 971 00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:19.079 the Messiah. That's who that lamb is. But he does 972 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.360 give him a ram, right, and he's caught in the 973 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.639 thicket by his horn. So Abraham went and took the ram, 974 00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:27.760 offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his 975 00:59:27.800 --> 00:59:32.199 son Isaac, who sweat off your brow right there then, 976 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:35.119 and Abraham called the name of the place the Lord 977 00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:38.239 will provide. And it is said to this day in 978 00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:41.760 the mount of the Lord, it shall be provided. In 979 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:44.280 the mount of the Lord, it shall be provided. The 980 00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:49.400 Lord shall provide. Yes, Amen, God does provide. What does 981 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:52.679 he provide for us? Not only does he provide this ram, 982 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:56.119 instead of Isaac. Thank God he provided that ram, because 983 00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:57.880 if he would have killed Isaac and Isaac would have 984 00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:01.039 not lived, then obviously the to say, will not you know, 985 01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:04.760 the Messiah will not be born. But no, God provided 986 01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:08.760 and God fulfilled his promise, and he provided that ram. 987 01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:12.559 And this is what he calls that mountain and the 988 01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:15.880 mount of the Lord. It shall be provided. And the 989 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:19.320 Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time 990 01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:22.320 out of heaven and said, by myself, I have sworn, 991 01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.320 says the Lord, because you have done this thing and 992 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:28.239 have not withheld your son, your only son, Blessings that 993 01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:31.639 will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply your descendants. 994 01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:36.719 Hold on, whoa, whoa, whoe. The Angel of the Lord 995 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:39.920 called the Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, 996 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:45.280 by myself, I have sworn, says the Lord, because you 997 01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:48.159 have done this thing and have not withheld your son, 998 01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:52.440 your only son, Blessings that will bless you, and multiplying, 999 01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:56.039 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven 1000 01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:59.760 and as the sandwich of the seashore. And your descendants 1001 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:03.519 shall possessed the gait of their enemies. Understand that that's 1002 01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:06.519 really really interesting that the Angel of the Lord, or 1003 01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:08.800 the Word or the messenger of the Lord called the 1004 01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:12.639 Abraham a second time out of heaven. Where's heaven located, 1005 01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:17.880 It's up. Where's hell located, It's down. He's calling out 1006 01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:21.800 of heaven. And this is the Angel capital A. Not 1007 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:25.360 that Jesus is an angel, but Jesus is the messenger 1008 01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:29.360 or Jesus is the Word of the Lord. By myself, 1009 01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:31.360 I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done 1010 01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:33.800 this thing, you know, so understand that. And it's really 1011 01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:37.119 interesting that he says, blessings, I will bless you multiplying. 1012 01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.280 I will multiply. So the Angel the Lord saying, I 1013 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:45.000 will do this. Wow in your seed, all the nations 1014 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:48.039 of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed 1015 01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:52.920 my voice. So Abraham returned to his young men, and 1016 01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:56.920 they rose and went together to Berceeba, and Abraham dwelt 1017 01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:02.239 in Bersheba. Genesis well twenty two to nineteen. Let's go 1018 01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:07.760 to that really quick, Genesis twenty two. Genesis twenty two. 1019 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:11.559 I just kind of like to do this sometimes. Nineteen. 1020 01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:17.639 What does Bersheba mean? I think it means covenant. Let's 1021 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:23.639 see what that means, oh, well, of the sevenfold Oah 1022 01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.400 is what Bersheba means. So yeah, I think that's interesting, 1023 01:02:28.519 --> 01:02:34.679 right there, anything else obeyed? My voice sown a second time. 1024 01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:47.159 Let's see what does it say together? Excuse me, mountains 1025 01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:51.159 the I want to just look at that word together 1026 01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.679 real quick. Both of them went together, and just want 1027 01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:58.280 to point out that I believe that means in agreement, 1028 01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:07.360 union all together alike. Yeah, so it's in agreement. So 1029 01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:11.519 here we go. Let's continue reading. We're in Genesis twenty two, 1030 01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:15.599 verse twenty. That whole lesson right there was just amazing. 1031 01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:18.920 Like I said, it's all about obedience and all about faith. 1032 01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:23.119 So let's continue to read. The Family of Nahar is 1033 01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:25.719 what the title is. Now. It came to pass after 1034 01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:29.920 these things that it was told abrahams saying, indeed, Malak 1035 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:34.239 also was born children to your firstborn Nahara, who is 1036 01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:38.360 his firstborn, Buzz, his brother Camille, the father of Aaron, 1037 01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:45.480 chest Hazo, phil Dash, Jefflapp, Mathiel, and maule Begat Rebecca. 1038 01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:51.639 These eight Malachaia boor to noahor Abraham's brother. His concubine 1039 01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:55.559 whose name was Ramu, also bore Toba Kaham Tosh and 1040 01:03:56.280 --> 01:04:04.679 macab So we're hold this because bethle begat Rebecca. This 1041 01:04:04.840 --> 01:04:09.519 is just showing you Abraham's brother. So this is a 1042 01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:13.440 just telling you about Rebecca, which is gonna come in 1043 01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:16.320 a little bit here. Uh, just wanted to They wanted 1044 01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:20.719 to just tell you that because later you know, it's 1045 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:23.119 gonna later on in the story. So I think that's 1046 01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:27.519 really cool that they let us know that. So Sarah's 1047 01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:32.880 death and burial were on Genesis twenty three. Okay, yes, Uh, 1048 01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:39.760 this is Sarah whom Abraham loved. He loved this woman. 1049 01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:42.760 This was his woman. He was with her for a 1050 01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:47.760 long time, going through all this stuff, God's promises, sadaminga moura, 1051 01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:51.599 them moving, them, going here, them him knowing his descendants 1052 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:54.320 are coming through. They've gone through all this with Hagar. 1053 01:04:54.559 --> 01:04:58.039 But all this stuff they went through, we get to 1054 01:04:58.039 --> 01:05:01.239 see all of it. This is obviously a very important 1055 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:05.280 woman in the Bible because we get to see it. 1056 01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:09.480 Talks about her death and her burial and her funeral. 1057 01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:12.400 We don't see that with the other women in the Bible. 1058 01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:15.800 This is the only woman we get to see. We 1059 01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:19.840 get to hear about her burial, which I think is 1060 01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:26.079 She's an important figure in the Bible, an important vessel, 1061 01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:31.079 I would say, used by God, right, used by God 1062 01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:35.119 to show faith, to have the Abraham and Covenant, to 1063 01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:39.800 have Isaac. So let's read here. It says Sarah lived 1064 01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:43.719 one hundred and twenty seven years. These were the years 1065 01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:47.960 of the life of Sarah. So Sarah died in Kadrath Arabah, 1066 01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:51.719 that is, hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham 1067 01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:55.000 came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. 1068 01:05:56.199 --> 01:06:03.119 You know, I've never had a wife die before. One 1069 01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:07.000 thing that they should appreciate back then is look how 1070 01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:09.559 long they got to live. Look at everything they went through. 1071 01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:14.760 But obviously Abraham loved this woman and he wept for her. 1072 01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:17.960 He cried, And this is the land of Hayburn. So 1073 01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:22.039 let's we're in Genesis twenty three. Let's see if I 1074 01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:25.199 have any good notes on this whole thing right here. 1075 01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:29.000 What I do, guys, I just want to be honest 1076 01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:32.559 with you guys, and tell you, guys, my whole thing 1077 01:06:33.400 --> 01:06:36.960 is I tried to every single chapter that I go through. 1078 01:06:37.480 --> 01:06:41.639 I'm literally trying to find all these nuggets and whatever 1079 01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:44.599 I could find for you guys, and I'm doing studies 1080 01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:48.840 throughout the week. Now. Not only is this blessing you guys, 1081 01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:51.639 I hope, I pray that is blessing you guys with 1082 01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:54.719 information on the Bible and blessing you with faith, and 1083 01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:56.920 blessing you with obedience, and blessing you with everything He 1084 01:06:56.960 --> 01:06:59.880 needs to bless you with. God is blessing you, not me. 1085 01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:04.039 I'm just a man. But it's also blessing me because 1086 01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:06.639 I'm able to read through the Bible. Now. I've always 1087 01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:10.320 said on my podcast, Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy Podcast, said 1088 01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:12.960 I love the Bible, and I love to teach the Bible, 1089 01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.760 and I love to go through the Bible. And you 1090 01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:21.960 know what, it's something that this show is completely engulfing 1091 01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:24.960 me into the Word. And I am so appreciative of 1092 01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:29.400 God for giving me this opportunity. And also I'm appreciative 1093 01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:33.239 of Jonathan Jacob and I mentioned Julia too because she's 1094 01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:36.400 also in the program. But I'm very appreciative that God 1095 01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:40.079 had these gentlemen ask me to do this because it's 1096 01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:44.159 helping me to go verse by verse, word by word 1097 01:07:44.599 --> 01:07:47.639 through the Bible. And I think it's so important for 1098 01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:51.559 everybody that's listening, and important for myself as well, included 1099 01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:57.119 for me to learn the Bible. God said, hey, you 1100 01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:01.119 love the Bible. I'm just thinking this speculating that God 1101 01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:03.840 was just like, you love the Bible so much, Well, 1102 01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:09.039 then teach it verse by verse. God has a good 1103 01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:13.559 sense of humor. So let's see here. So Sarah's one 1104 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:17.199 hundred and twenty seven years old. She got to see 1105 01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:20.920 Isaac reached the ripe age of thirty seven because she 1106 01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:24.560 was ninety when she had him. Okay, what I want 1107 01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:26.880 to tell you guys about this story is it was 1108 01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:30.239 customary to bury someone that died in the land that 1109 01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:33.399 they are from. They need to need to be buried 1110 01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:36.640 next to their ancestors. It's customary, it's a tradition. But 1111 01:08:37.359 --> 01:08:42.680 what's very interesting is he chose the barrier in Hebron, right, 1112 01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:45.840 he chose to bury her there. Normally, what he would 1113 01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:51.479 do is he would take her back to the land 1114 01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:56.720 that they were in Mesopotamia, where they were from. But no, see, 1115 01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:01.199 Abraham was promised this land for his descendants and he 1116 01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:05.520 knows that. So now he's basically gonna bury her in Hebron, 1117 01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:09.960 which is modern day Palestine. Right. Uh, Now, I don't 1118 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:12.520 know some people have these differences on Palestine and Israel, 1119 01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:15.560 and there's a lot of differences happening. I I personally 1120 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:18.600 have neighbors that are that are Palestinian, and uh, you know, 1121 01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:24.600 I love Palestinian. I love Israel. I love everybody, black, white, anything, 1122 01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:28.279 I love everybody. And uh, these neighbors are very good 1123 01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:31.800 and they have this is the same hospitality that you 1124 01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:34.720 see in the Bible. There they have. They're very hospitable 1125 01:09:35.039 --> 01:09:39.359 and very nice people. But so he's burying them in Hebron, 1126 01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:43.640 which is modern day Palestine slash Israel, depending on your beliefs. 1127 01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:47.159 So he is making a claim on this land. Instead 1128 01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:50.600 of him taking and burying her in Mesopotamia, where they're from, 1129 01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:53.920 He's now burying him in Hebron, knowing that this land 1130 01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:57.119 is going to be promised to him and that he 1131 01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:01.720 is gonna he is basically staking claim on this land. 1132 01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:04.319 We'll come back to those notes as we read. So 1133 01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:08.439 then Abraham stood up from before his dead and spoke 1134 01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:11.119 to the sons of Heath, saying, I am a foreigner 1135 01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:14.560 and a visitor among you. Give me property property for 1136 01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:17.760 burial place among you, that I may bury my dead 1137 01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:21.119 out of my sight. Still weeping, you know, probably still 1138 01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:26.439 feeling this emotion, but he wants to stay claim on 1139 01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:29.159 this land, knowing that this will be this land is 1140 01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.680 promised to him. Not only does descendants promised to him, 1141 01:10:31.800 --> 01:10:36.760 but also this land is promised to him. Som And 1142 01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:39.960 the sons of Heath answered Abraham, saying to him, hear us, 1143 01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:42.760 my lord, you are a mighty prince among us bury 1144 01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:45.760 your dead and the choices of your burial places. None 1145 01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:48.600 of us will withhold from you his burial place that 1146 01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:50.880 you may bury your dead. Now, what we got to 1147 01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:55.960 understand about Abraham. He has plenty of oxen, plenty of camel, 1148 01:10:56.319 --> 01:11:00.359 plenty of money. I think he is wealthy. You know, 1149 01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:03.680 he has a lot of things going on. They're calling 1150 01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:06.560 him a prince at this point, right, so I think 1151 01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:09.439 that's really interesting, it says. Then Abraham stood up and 1152 01:11:09.479 --> 01:11:12.199 bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons 1153 01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:15.239 of Heath, the Heathites, that's what they are, and he 1154 01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:20.039 spoke to them, saying, it is it is your wish 1155 01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:22.760 that I bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, 1156 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.039 and meet with Ephron, the son of Zohar h for 1157 01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:31.520 me that they give me the cave of Makaloth which 1158 01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:34.560 he has, which is at the end of his field. 1159 01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:37.680 Let him give it to me at the full price 1160 01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:41.399 as a property for a burial place among you, full rip, 1161 01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:43.479 you know, just let me, let me have it. He 1162 01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:47.199 wants to bury U Sarah, and he wants these uh 1163 01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:51.640 this So now Efron Dwoth among the sons of Heath, 1164 01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:56.000 the Heathites, and Ephron the heath the Hittite. Sorry, not 1165 01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.279 the Heathight the Hittite, answered Abraham, in the presence of 1166 01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:02.800 the sons of Heath, all who entered at the gate 1167 01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:06.319 of the city, saying, no, my lord, hear me, I 1168 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:08.520 give you this field and cave that is in it. 1169 01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:10.920 I give it to you in the presence of the 1170 01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:13.279 sons of my people. I give it to you bury 1171 01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:21.319 your dead. So what people tend to read here sometimes 1172 01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:23.840 is some people they read this and they think that 1173 01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:26.239 the guy's just being a nice guy and wants to 1174 01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:28.800 give it to them. But it's going to be paid. 1175 01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:30.880 There's a price that's going to be paid. This is 1176 01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.319 like a bargaining between these two. This is bargaining to 1177 01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:37.800 take away some of the what they what they found 1178 01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:43.439 out about the Hittites on some of the I guess 1179 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:47.600 they found some old laws from the hit Tights in 1180 01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:53.000 a When you own land, there's some taxes that you're 1181 01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:56.279 obligated to pay if you have it. So some people 1182 01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:01.319 speculate that this gentleman was knew that and he was like, Hey, 1183 01:13:01.680 --> 01:13:03.359 I want to get rid of some of my lands 1184 01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:05.000 so I don't have to pay the taxes on it. 1185 01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:09.319 That's what some people say about this verse. And you're 1186 01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:13.880 going to see that he full rips Abraham right here, 1187 01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:17.119 and he pays full price for it, like you said earlier. 1188 01:13:17.439 --> 01:13:20.600 Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land, 1189 01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:23.039 and he spoke to Ephron and the hearing of the 1190 01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:25.520 people of the land, saying, if you will give it, 1191 01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:28.439 please hear me. I will give you money for the field. 1192 01:13:28.520 --> 01:13:31.720 Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there. 1193 01:13:31.920 --> 01:13:35.279 And Efron answered saying to him, my word, listen to me. 1194 01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:38.359 The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What 1195 01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:41.000 is this between you and me? So bury your dead. 1196 01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:45.840 And Abraham listened to the e Fhron, and Abraham wighed 1197 01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:48.039 out the silver for Efron, which he had named, and 1198 01:13:48.119 --> 01:13:50.800 the hearing of the sons of Heath four hundred shekels 1199 01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:53.680 of silver and currency in the merchants. What I thought 1200 01:13:53.720 --> 01:13:58.760 was interesting is they're doing this deal and the gates 1201 01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:01.560 of the city they don't you know, the gates of 1202 01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:05.600 the city is where they make deals. You know, they 1203 01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:07.880 don't have a city council, they don't have a city hall. 1204 01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:10.359 But this is where people were, you know, were married 1205 01:14:10.399 --> 01:14:12.960 and deals were made and oaths were made. This is 1206 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:15.479 where judges were and you know, in the gates of 1207 01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:17.439 the city where they would do this type of stuff. 1208 01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:22.199 So that's what's happening here. Four hundred shekels of silver 1209 01:14:22.319 --> 01:14:26.720 is quite hefty for this land. But like I said, 1210 01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:32.239 Abraham is wealthy man. You know, he's wealthy, so he 1211 01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:36.680 wants this land. He wants to bury you know, Sarah, 1212 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:40.800 and he chooses to pay that four hundred shekels of silver. Now, 1213 01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:46.000 what people were buried here in this grave site that 1214 01:14:46.399 --> 01:14:50.600 Abraham is a purchasing right here. Well, according to Jewish tradition, 1215 01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:54.600 it is the site of the graves of Abraham, of Sarah, 1216 01:14:55.479 --> 01:15:01.279 of Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, and Leah. These graves have been 1217 01:15:01.399 --> 01:15:05.000 buried under the church built in Beslatine period in Israel, 1218 01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:08.039 which is now used as a mosque. I think that's interesting. 1219 01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:15.560 But Rachel was buried in Bethlehem, but Rebecca, Isaac's wife 1220 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:18.560 was was was also buried in there. That's according to 1221 01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:22.760 Jewish tradition. That and this is actually a double cave, 1222 01:15:22.920 --> 01:15:25.479 so there's actually, you know, two different spots here in 1223 01:15:25.520 --> 01:15:29.199 this cave. And according to a Jewish tradition, that's who 1224 01:15:29.279 --> 01:15:33.960 was buried there. Okay, Sarah, Abraham, Rebecca, all these different 1225 01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:37.239 people in the Bible that we that we read in 1226 01:15:37.279 --> 01:15:40.920 Abraham's family. So I think this is very interesting. He 1227 01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:43.239 does pay that four hundred shekels of silver for this, 1228 01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:46.039 which is very hefty for this, but he just pays it. 1229 01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:51.000 And obviously he's taken claim to this land, and that's 1230 01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:54.520 very interesting. So the field of Ephron, which was in 1231 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:59.600 Meltek was before memory, the field and the cave which 1232 01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:01.439 was in it, and all the trees that were in 1233 01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:04.920 the field, which were within the surrounding borders are deeded 1234 01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:07.600 to Abraham as possession in the presence of the sons 1235 01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:10.680 of Heath before all who went in the gate of 1236 01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:14.159 his city. And after this, Abraham buried Sarah, his wife 1237 01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:19.319 in the cave of the field. Mcaplef before memory. That is, 1238 01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:22.520 hebron in the land of Canaan. So the field and 1239 01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:24.800 the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham 1240 01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:26.680 by the sons of Heath at the property of a 1241 01:16:26.720 --> 01:16:30.760 burial place. So he buries his wife Sarah, which we've 1242 01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:34.640 actually read through here, and you guys understand the whole 1243 01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:37.520 if you guys go from you know, if you guys 1244 01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:40.640 go back a couple episodes, you see everything that happened 1245 01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:44.399 between Abraham and Sarah and everything that went along, you know, 1246 01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.640 with Lot and the Sodomigamoora and all these different scenarios 1247 01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:50.119 are happening through Abraham, and you guys will learn all 1248 01:16:50.119 --> 01:16:52.199 this cool stuff that we went over. So if you 1249 01:16:52.199 --> 01:16:55.159 guys are just tuning in for the first time in 1250 01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:59.119 episode seven, go back to episode one and listen to 1251 01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:02.199 episode one, two, three, four, or five six. What you're 1252 01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:04.000 gonna get is a bunch of meat and a bunch 1253 01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:06.840 of interesting stuff, and it's going to build up to 1254 01:17:06.880 --> 01:17:10.199 get into this point of Genesis twenty three where Sarah 1255 01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:13.960 death and burial and uh. People need to understand that 1256 01:17:13.960 --> 01:17:17.479 that uh, that Abraham he loved his wife. They were 1257 01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.600 trying to bore children together and they lived, and they 1258 01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:23.800 saved a lot, and they you know, got kidnapped, and 1259 01:17:23.800 --> 01:17:26.720 they went through all these things together Ishmael and Hagar. 1260 01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:29.680 All this stuff happened, and they went through so much stuff, 1261 01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.800 and as they were going and so much faith was built. 1262 01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:36.039 And and you see that he was weeping for his wife. 1263 01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:38.760 We're weeping for his wife. And now she passed. So 1264 01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:45.359 now we're gonna continue here Genesis twenty four. A bride 1265 01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:48.479 for Isaac. Right, So this is this is very important 1266 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:51.720 because Isaac needs to have children, right, We need these 1267 01:17:51.720 --> 01:17:55.720 descendants that become many. So let's let's check this out. 1268 01:17:55.760 --> 01:18:00.439 And this is some very awesome stuff too, of faith 1269 01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.119 and how to handle certain things, and how to choose 1270 01:18:04.119 --> 01:18:06.960 a wife. It would have been cool if before I 1271 01:18:07.079 --> 01:18:09.680 chose my wife, I did the same kind of test 1272 01:18:10.279 --> 01:18:16.039 to see the servitude of of her beforehand. You'll see 1273 01:18:16.079 --> 01:18:18.199 some really cool stuff here here in Genesis twenty four. 1274 01:18:18.319 --> 01:18:23.199 So let's see if I have anything else in my 1275 01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:31.279 notes for Genesis twenty three. This is Genesis twenty three, 1276 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:37.000 four hundred shekels. We already went over that buried deals 1277 01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:39.439 were made in the city. Yeah, you don't really need 1278 01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:41.359 to know anything else. I don't have anything else in 1279 01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:45.279 my notes about chapter twenty three. We're gonna go to 1280 01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:52.920 chapter twenty four now and we'll continue reading. Let's do that. 1281 01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:57.439 So a bride for Isaac Chapter twenty four. First one, 1282 01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:01.439 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age, and the 1283 01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:04.960 Lord had blessed Abraham and all things. So Abraham said 1284 01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:07.960 to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over 1285 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:12.399 all he had, Please put your hand under my thigh, 1286 01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:14.880 and I will make you swear by the Lord, the 1287 01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:17.439 God of Heaven and the God of the Earth, that 1288 01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:20.560 you will not take a wife, that you will not 1289 01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:24.000 take a wife for my son from the daughters of 1290 01:19:24.359 --> 01:19:27.800 the Canaanites. So he did not want Isaac to marry 1291 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:31.520 any of the Canaanites. Nope, he wants him to go 1292 01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:37.399 back to his old country Mesopotamia, and he wants to 1293 01:19:37.479 --> 01:19:41.199 get a wife from his tribe. Right, he wants to 1294 01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:44.680 marry his tribe. You know, if you look at the Canaanites, 1295 01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:48.960 a lot of them were giants, right, Look at all 1296 01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:51.319 the giants that dwelt in the land of Canaanites. Look 1297 01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:55.399 at the DNA. Right. We went over sa Toomingamora. Maybe 1298 01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:59.199 the second incursion. There is some DNA that is kind 1299 01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:04.000 of up here. Again, there's Raphaeim in the land. There's giants, 1300 01:20:04.039 --> 01:20:07.159 there's Amorites, which are giants. The king of Bashan, there's 1301 01:20:07.239 --> 01:20:12.920 all these different He doesn't want that Canaanite DNA. He 1302 01:20:13.199 --> 01:20:16.279 wants to go back to his land. He knows that 1303 01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:20.399 that is clear of giants. That's what I believe, you know. 1304 01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:24.319 So what does he do? He tells him swear. So 1305 01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:27.119 put your hand under my thigh and I will make 1306 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:30.279 you swear by the Lord. Yeah. So if you kind 1307 01:20:30.279 --> 01:20:35.560 of go into if you kind of go into that 1308 01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:43.760 whole scenario. The ancient form of oath swearing described in 1309 01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:47.720 verses two through four and nine is explained by Charles F. Feiffer. 1310 01:20:48.119 --> 01:20:51.520 According to the Bible, Biblical idiom children are said to 1311 01:20:51.680 --> 01:20:55.319 issue from the thigh or loins of their father, placing 1312 01:20:55.359 --> 01:20:57.880 the hand under the thigh, signifying that in the event 1313 01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:01.359 that an oath we violated, the children who had issued 1314 01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:04.840 or might issue from that thigh would avenge the act 1315 01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:09.079 of disloyalty. This has been called a swearing biposterity and 1316 01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:12.680 is particularly application here because the servant's mission is to 1317 01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:17.600 ensure a posterity for Abraham through Isaac. Okay, so we 1318 01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:21.520 got to understand that, all right, So this is this 1319 01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:25.039 is this is such a cool story. But that's that 1320 01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:28.000 whole thing, you know, swearing by the I just wanted 1321 01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:29.439 to kind of go over that because you might read 1322 01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:31.239 that and be like, what what is that? That's that's 1323 01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:33.399 not something that we do. But yeah, obviously there's different 1324 01:21:33.439 --> 01:21:36.399 things in different cultures that they do compared to us, 1325 01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:38.600 that that's going to be different. But yeah, I just 1326 01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:42.119 want to go over that. So he obviously didn't want 1327 01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:45.800 that Canaanite bloodline. Man, that's really important there. And as 1328 01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:47.680 we go through the Bible, you're going to notice that 1329 01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:49.960 there's certain things that you're going to pick up that 1330 01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:52.399 that you wouldn't pick up going to a normal church. 1331 01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:55.159 That's why I think this is so important because a 1332 01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:57.720 lot of these churches are not teaching about giants, about 1333 01:21:57.760 --> 01:22:00.840 the Raphi aim, about the nepheline, about fallen angels having 1334 01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:04.680 sex with women and creating boring giants, the heroes of old, 1335 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:06.960 the men of renown, and they're not teaching that type 1336 01:22:06.960 --> 01:22:10.760 of stuff. They're teaching the Sethite Canaanite theory, where you 1337 01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:13.520 know these people mingled and had giants. So how did 1338 01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:16.439 that happen? Well, fallen angels had sex with women, had 1339 01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:20.680 the DNA. Uh you know, the DNA get mixed up there. 1340 01:22:21.039 --> 01:22:25.359 And I think that we need Jesus to come through 1341 01:22:25.359 --> 01:22:28.319 the line of Isaac right through David, King David. So 1342 01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:32.279 we need this DNA to stay pure, just like Uh, 1343 01:22:32.720 --> 01:22:36.800 Noah's DNA was pure, it was perfect in his generations. 1344 01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:42.399 The DNA was clear of raphaem nepheline blood line. Yeah, 1345 01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:44.960 there's a lot. That's why the blood is is so 1346 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:48.399 important throughout this Old Testament. And and I you know, 1347 01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:51.880 stuffy you pick up on when you know certain things 1348 01:22:51.880 --> 01:22:55.199 about the Bible. That's so important. But you shall go 1349 01:22:55.399 --> 01:22:57.680 to the country to my family and take a wife 1350 01:22:57.760 --> 01:23:01.600 from my son Isaac. And Thists the servant said to him, 1351 01:23:01.640 --> 01:23:04.279 perhaps this woman will not be willing to follow me 1352 01:23:04.399 --> 01:23:06.920 to this land. Must I take your son back to 1353 01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:09.600 the land from which I came, which you came. But 1354 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:12.920 Abraham said to him, beware that you do not take 1355 01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:16.920 my son back there. The Lord God of Heaven, who 1356 01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:19.520 took me from my father's house, from the land of 1357 01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:22.640 my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, 1358 01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:25.600 saying to your descendants, I give this land. He will 1359 01:23:25.680 --> 01:23:28.279 send his angel before you, and you shall take a 1360 01:23:28.359 --> 01:23:31.079 wife from my son from there. If the woman is 1361 01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:34.039 not willing to follow you, then you will be released 1362 01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:37.399 from this oath. And not only do not take my 1363 01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:40.960 son back there. So the servant put his hand under 1364 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:44.039 the thigh of Abraham, his master, and swore to him 1365 01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:47.640 concerning this matter. Then the servant took ten of his 1366 01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:51.079 master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were 1367 01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:54.159 in his land. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, 1368 01:23:55.399 --> 01:24:01.720 the city of Nahar. Okay, so going back to Abraham's 1369 01:24:01.880 --> 01:24:06.279 old stomping grounds, going back to his old tribe. So 1370 01:24:08.199 --> 01:24:12.520 understand that. And he's taking ten camels with him. Remember that. 1371 01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:15.640 Remember that part right there, because I think it's a 1372 01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:20.399 really interesting And he made his camels kneel down outside 1373 01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:22.720 the city by a well of water at evening time, 1374 01:24:23.279 --> 01:24:25.680 the time when the woman go out to draw water. 1375 01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:30.239 Then said, oh, Lord God, my master of Abraham, please 1376 01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:33.439 give me success this day and show kindness to my 1377 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:37.600 master Abraham. Behold here I stand by the well of water, 1378 01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:39.880 and the daughters of the men of the city are 1379 01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:44.840 coming out to draw water. Okay, so listen. He gets 1380 01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:47.920 to the land he made a covenant or like a 1381 01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:51.640 promise to Abraham, put his hand under his thigh, and 1382 01:24:51.760 --> 01:24:54.520 now he's here to deliver. What does he do? Soon 1383 01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:58.399 as he gets there, he drops down and prays to God, 1384 01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:03.479 and the Lord God, give me success this day and 1385 01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:06.680 show kindness to my master Abraham. Behold, I stand by 1386 01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:08.199 the well of water, and the daughters of the men 1387 01:25:08.279 --> 01:25:10.560 of the city are now coming out to draw water. 1388 01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:13.239 So soon as he gets there, he drops down and 1389 01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:17.960 he prays, you know, like please, he's relying on God. 1390 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:22.439 What you're supposed to do, like pray always. Now let 1391 01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:25.119 it be there as the young woman to whom I say, 1392 01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:28.319 please let down your picture that I may drink, And 1393 01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:31.000 she says drink, and I will also give your camels 1394 01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:36.840 a drink. Okay. So so he sees this young woman, 1395 01:25:37.920 --> 01:25:40.439 he says, please let down your picture that I may drink. 1396 01:25:40.880 --> 01:25:43.279 She says drink, and I will also give you your 1397 01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:46.279 camel's a drink. Let her be the one you have 1398 01:25:46.399 --> 01:25:49.600 a pointed for your servant, Isaac. And by this I 1399 01:25:49.640 --> 01:25:53.840 will let that you have shown kindness to my master. 1400 01:25:55.119 --> 01:26:01.800 So so he asked for a drink, which is in 1401 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:05.479 the in the Hebrew actually means like a sip. And 1402 01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.000 she gives him as much as he wants to drink, 1403 01:26:09.399 --> 01:26:12.159 and also says that I will give your camels a drink. 1404 01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:16.840 And camels they could, they could drink like twenty gallons 1405 01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:20.039 of water. So this is no small task. So this woman, 1406 01:26:20.439 --> 01:26:25.920 beautifully hospitality servant, she's she's being I'm going to servant saying, oh, 1407 01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:28.279 you want a little drink, you want to sip? No, no, no, no, here, 1408 01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:30.800 here's here's a here's some gallons of water, you know. 1409 01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:33.800 And also he she says that she is going to 1410 01:26:35.399 --> 01:26:43.760 serve his camels hospitality servant. But this is a test. 1411 01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:50.279 This is a test right here by Abraham's servant. And 1412 01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:53.520 it happened before he had finished speaking, that behold Rebecca, 1413 01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:56.640 who was born of Bethel, son of Milac, the wife 1414 01:26:56.680 --> 01:27:01.199 of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with the picture on 1415 01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:05.960 her shoulder. Now the young woman was very beautiful, to behold, 1416 01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:09.560 a virgin. No man had known her. And she went 1417 01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:12.000 down to the well, filled her pitcher and came up, 1418 01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:14.960 and the servant ran to meet her and said, please, 1419 01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:20.239 let me have a little water from your pitcher. Excuse me, 1420 01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:23.840 A little water in Hebrew means a sip of water, 1421 01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:28.319 like I said, so she said, drink, my lord. Then 1422 01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:31.000 she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand and 1423 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.560 gave him a drink. And she when she had finished 1424 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:37.039 giving him a drink, she said, I will also draw 1425 01:27:37.079 --> 01:27:40.079 the water for your camels until they have finished drinking. 1426 01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:43.840 Think about this, This is no small task. Twenty gallons 1427 01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:45.760 of water. She's going to the well. She's getting all 1428 01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:49.640 this this water for her his camels as well. He 1429 01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:52.760 knows that this is a catch right here. A beautiful woman. 1430 01:27:53.039 --> 01:27:55.800 It says she was a no one has known her, 1431 01:27:55.920 --> 01:28:00.399 so she's a virgin, and she is beautiful, just like 1432 01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:03.680 Sarah was beautiful. Isaac is going to be with this 1433 01:28:03.800 --> 01:28:07.199 beautiful girl as well. And this is the one right here, 1434 01:28:07.319 --> 01:28:14.119 Rebecca so beautiful. Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into 1435 01:28:14.199 --> 01:28:17.560 the trough and ran back to the well to draw 1436 01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:20.239 water and drew for all his camels. This is a 1437 01:28:20.319 --> 01:28:23.399 special moment right here. She's working, right, She's like, all right, 1438 01:28:23.479 --> 01:28:26.880 I got this, and it's almost like you know something 1439 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:30.199 is going to happen, you know, And it's really awesome 1440 01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:34.520 what happens here? And the man wondered at her, remained 1441 01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:37.640 silent as to know whether the Lord had made his 1442 01:28:37.840 --> 01:28:40.960 journey prosperous or not. So it was when the camels 1443 01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:44.199 had finished drinking that the man took a golden nose 1444 01:28:44.279 --> 01:28:48.000 ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her 1445 01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:52.079 wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, and said, whose daughter 1446 01:28:52.199 --> 01:28:54.880 are you? Tell me? Please? Is their room in your 1447 01:28:54.920 --> 01:28:58.840 father's house for us to lodge? She said to him, 1448 01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:04.640 I am the daughter of Bethel, Meloch's son, whom she 1449 01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:07.880 bore to Nohrror. Moreover, she said to him, we have 1450 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:11.039 both straw and feed enough to room to lodge. So 1451 01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:16.439 they're giving straw food to the camels, they're giving water 1452 01:29:16.560 --> 01:29:20.319 to the camels. The hospitality is great here, just like 1453 01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:24.439 and he knows that something's going on. So then the 1454 01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:27.479 man bowed down to his head and worshiped the Lord, 1455 01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:33.159 basically just saying, thank you God, you know, praise God, 1456 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:37.000 you know you made my journey not a waste of time. 1457 01:29:37.039 --> 01:29:39.359 I'm going to go back to my master, and I'm 1458 01:29:39.359 --> 01:29:44.359 gonna get Isaac. This beautiful woman, Rebecca, And what a blessing. 1459 01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:51.159 And he's also says here that he said, blessed be 1460 01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:54.319 the Lord God of my master Abraham, for he has 1461 01:29:54.439 --> 01:29:57.000 not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master. 1462 01:29:57.560 --> 01:29:59.880 As for me being on my way, the Lord led 1463 01:29:59.920 --> 01:30:02.600 me me to the house of my master's brethren. So 1464 01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:06.399 the young woman ran and told her mother's household these things. Now, 1465 01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:10.359 Rebecca had a brother whose name was Lebon, and Lebon 1466 01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:13.439 ran out to the man by the well. So it 1467 01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:15.800 came to pass, when he saw the nose ring and 1468 01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:18.359 the bracelets on his sister's wrists, that he had heard 1469 01:30:18.399 --> 01:30:21.279 the words of his sister Rebecca, saying, thus the man 1470 01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:23.640 spoke to me that he went to the man, and 1471 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:26.000 there he stood by the campbell's at the well. So 1472 01:30:26.199 --> 01:30:28.960 you'll hear some more stuff about Lebon later. He's kind 1473 01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:34.439 of a little sisty character. Leban is his name. You're 1474 01:30:34.479 --> 01:30:38.079 gonna he's kind of a shisty character. You'll see. Basically, 1475 01:30:38.119 --> 01:30:40.319 he sees the gold and all this, he runs out 1476 01:30:40.359 --> 01:30:42.399 there to talk to the guy, like, hey, I want 1477 01:30:42.439 --> 01:30:46.000 to get involved in this too, And he said, come in, Oh, blessed, 1478 01:30:46.880 --> 01:30:50.159 So Lebon said to it, and he said, come in oh, 1479 01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:52.920 blessed of the Lord, Why do you stand outside? For 1480 01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:55.760 I have prepared the house and a place for the camels. 1481 01:30:55.840 --> 01:30:58.199 Then the man came to the house, and he unloaded 1482 01:30:58.199 --> 01:31:01.439 the camels, and provided straw and feed for the animals, 1483 01:31:01.760 --> 01:31:04.239 and water to wash his feet and the feet of 1484 01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:07.319 the men who were with him. Food was set before 1485 01:31:07.399 --> 01:31:10.039 him to eat, but he said, I will not eat 1486 01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:12.920 until I have told about my errand and he said, 1487 01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:16.520 speak on. And so he said, I am Abraham's servant. 1488 01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:19.680 The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has 1489 01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:23.720 become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver 1490 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:28.720 and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 1491 01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:32.479 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master, 1492 01:31:32.680 --> 01:31:35.319 whom she was old, and to him he was given, 1493 01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:39.720 has given all that he has. Now my master made 1494 01:31:39.760 --> 01:31:43.159 me swear, saying, you shall not take a wife. You 1495 01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:45.760 shall not take a wife for my son from the 1496 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.279 daughters of Canaanites, in whose land I dwell. But you 1497 01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:52.560 shall go to my father's house and to my family 1498 01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:56.359 and take a wife from my son. And I said 1499 01:31:56.399 --> 01:31:59.319 to my master, perhaps the woman will not follow me. 1500 01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:02.920 But he's said to me the Lord before whom I walk, 1501 01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.760 I will send his angel with you and prosper your way. 1502 01:32:06.119 --> 01:32:07.960 And you shall take a wife for my son, for 1503 01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:10.640 my family who my father's house. You will clear from 1504 01:32:10.680 --> 01:32:13.720 the oath when you arrive among my family, for if 1505 01:32:13.760 --> 01:32:17.079 they will not give her to you, then you will 1506 01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:20.520 be released from my oath. And this day I came 1507 01:32:20.640 --> 01:32:23.840 to the well and said, Lord, O, Lord, God of 1508 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:26.760 my master Abraham, you will now prosper in a way 1509 01:32:26.800 --> 01:32:29.119 which I go. Behold, I stand at the well of water. 1510 01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:31.720 And it came to pass that when the Virgin comes 1511 01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:34.520 to the draw water, I say to her, please give 1512 01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:38.199 me a drink of a little drink of water. Picture drink. 1513 01:32:38.600 --> 01:32:40.600 And she said to me drink, and I will draw 1514 01:32:40.680 --> 01:32:43.000 from the camels. Also I let the woman whom the 1515 01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:46.279 Lord appointed for my master's son. But before I had 1516 01:32:46.359 --> 01:32:50.880 finished speaking by heart, there was Rebecca coming out from 1517 01:32:50.920 --> 01:32:53.600 her picture on her shoulder, and she went down to 1518 01:32:53.680 --> 01:32:55.199 the well and drew water. And I said to her, 1519 01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:58.520 please let me drink. And she made haste and let 1520 01:32:58.560 --> 01:33:00.760 her picture down from her shoulder and said, drink, and 1521 01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:03.239 I will give your camels drink. Also. So I drank, 1522 01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:05.520 and she gave the camels a drink. Also. Then I 1523 01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:08.279 asked her whose daughter are you, and she said, the 1524 01:33:08.399 --> 01:33:12.039 daughter of Bethel, no horse son, whom Miloche bore to him. 1525 01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:14.520 So I put the nose ring on her nose, and 1526 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:17.319 the bracelets on her wrist. And I bowed my head 1527 01:33:17.479 --> 01:33:19.479 and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord of my 1528 01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:22.600 master Abraham, who had led me in the way of 1529 01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:25.439 truth to take the daughter of my master's brother from 1530 01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:29.439 his son. Now, if you will deal kindly and truly 1531 01:33:29.600 --> 01:33:32.479 with my master, tell me, and if not, tell me 1532 01:33:32.600 --> 01:33:34.680 that I may turn to the right hand or to 1533 01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:37.840 the left. Then Lebon and Bethel answered and said, the 1534 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:41.319 thing comes from the Lord. The thing comes from the Lord. 1535 01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:44.720 We cannot speak to you either bad or good. Here 1536 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.039 is Rebecca, before you take her and go and let 1537 01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:50.760 her be your master's son's wife. As the Lord has 1538 01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:56.720 spoken so very interesting stuff. Here we have Rebecca, a 1539 01:33:56.920 --> 01:34:03.439 beautiful woman, virgin, gonna go with him. You know. So 1540 01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:07.640 this this promise is gonna be fulfilled, and they're gonna 1541 01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:12.199 have children, and you're gonna see the everything in the 1542 01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:15.720 scenario being built right here, and everything that happens. We're 1543 01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:19.119 going to continue through the Bible, and you're gonna see. 1544 01:34:19.159 --> 01:34:21.800 But and it came to pass when Abraham's servant heard 1545 01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:24.399 their words, that he had worshiped the Lord, bowing himself 1546 01:34:24.439 --> 01:34:28.119 to the earth. Then the servant brought out jewelry of silver, 1547 01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:31.479 jewelry of gold, and clothing and gave them to Rebecca 1548 01:34:32.039 --> 01:34:34.920 he was. He also gave precious things to her brother 1549 01:34:35.319 --> 01:34:38.479 and to her mother. And he and the men who 1550 01:34:38.520 --> 01:34:41.239 were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. 1551 01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:43.439 And they arose in the morning, and he said, send 1552 01:34:43.479 --> 01:34:46.199 me away to my master. But her brother and her 1553 01:34:46.279 --> 01:34:49.479 mother said, let the young woman stay here with us 1554 01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:52.880 a few days, and less ten that she may go. So, 1555 01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:55.600 you know, the mother is like, hey, you're about to 1556 01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:58.239 take my daughter. Let me spend you know, let me 1557 01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:01.119 spend some time with her before she goes. Looks like 1558 01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:06.399 ten days. She probably knew that back then. It's not 1559 01:35:06.520 --> 01:35:08.800 like where you have a car where you're gonna drive 1560 01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:10.880 to your mama's house and drive to your grandma's house 1561 01:35:10.920 --> 01:35:14.279 and drive across country and it's no problem. This is different. 1562 01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:18.720 She probably knew that she wouldn't see her daughter for 1563 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:23.680 a long time. You know, this is actually a four 1564 01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:28.199 hundred and fifty mile trip that he took from Hebron 1565 01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:32.479 to Mesopotamia. This is no easy task. This is a 1566 01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:36.159 far trip. This takes a long time. This is they 1567 01:35:36.199 --> 01:35:40.680 are far away. So this woman is like, hey, sure 1568 01:35:40.760 --> 01:35:43.479 she knows the journey. I'm sure that she's worried about 1569 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.000 her daughter, and she knows she she wants to spend 1570 01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:48.760 some time with her, you know, before she goes. And 1571 01:35:48.920 --> 01:35:51.000 he said to them, do not hinder me, since the 1572 01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:53.640 Lord has prospered my way. Send me away that I 1573 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:57.159 may go to my master. And so they said, we 1574 01:35:57.239 --> 01:36:00.079 will call the young woman and ask her personally. And 1575 01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:02.720 they called Rebecca and said will you go with this man? 1576 01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:06.239 And she said I will go. So they went away, Rebecca, 1577 01:36:06.319 --> 01:36:10.560 their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men. 1578 01:36:11.079 --> 01:36:13.640 And they blessed Rebecca and said to her, old sister, 1579 01:36:14.119 --> 01:36:16.920 may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands, 1580 01:36:17.439 --> 01:36:20.439 and may your descendants possessed the gates of those who 1581 01:36:20.520 --> 01:36:25.119 hate them. Then Rebecca her maids arose, and they rode 1582 01:36:25.159 --> 01:36:27.800 on their camels and followed the man. So the servant 1583 01:36:27.840 --> 01:36:31.000 took Rebecca and departed. Now Isaac came from the way 1584 01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:34.239 of Bear Liroi, and he dwelt in the south. And 1585 01:36:34.359 --> 01:36:37.600 Isaac went out to the mediate in the field in 1586 01:36:37.680 --> 01:36:40.239 the evening, and he lifted his eyes and looked, and 1587 01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:43.520 there the camels were coming. Yes, So he's like, all right, 1588 01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:46.720 the ten camels are coming. I'm waiting for my bride. 1589 01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:52.039 I'm waiting for my bride, my beautiful bride that comes 1590 01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:58.920 by faith. And the Lord provided once again. The Lord 1591 01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:03.279 provided once again, and you know he provided this beautiful woman. 1592 01:37:03.439 --> 01:37:07.439 Rebecca lifted her eyes and when she saw Isaac, she 1593 01:37:07.600 --> 01:37:11.039 dismounted from her camel. You can imagine this beautiful scene. 1594 01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:13.520 Or she's on the camel. She's looking up and she 1595 01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:17.880 sees Isaac and she's like, whoa, he's hot too. I 1596 01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:21.520 don't know what she said, but she's probably like, all right, 1597 01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:23.239 I want to hook up with this guy. But whatever. 1598 01:37:23.560 --> 01:37:25.159 But you know, she knows they're gonna get married. But 1599 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:27.920 you see this beautiful scene and he sees the beauty 1600 01:37:27.960 --> 01:37:30.039 of Rebecca and he's probably like, all right, man, this 1601 01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:33.119 is gonna be awesome and amazing. And the Lord provided 1602 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:36.119 me with this beautiful wife, you know. And she seems 1603 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:40.680 like she's also feeling the same way, says for she 1604 01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:43.279 had said to the servant, who is this man walking 1605 01:37:43.319 --> 01:37:45.039 in the field to meetas the servant said, it is 1606 01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:47.920 my master. So she took a veil and covered herself. 1607 01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.479 It's probably a tradition to cover herself. And she's probably like, okay, 1608 01:37:51.560 --> 01:37:54.079 you know, she's getting ready for this beautiful moment. And 1609 01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:56.800 this servant told Isaac all the things that he had done, 1610 01:37:57.199 --> 01:37:59.760 traveled four hundred and fifty miles. This woman as well, 1611 01:38:00.760 --> 01:38:03.439 traveled four hundred and fifty miles with them coming back 1612 01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:06.399 with these you know, probably this is probably a long trip. 1613 01:38:06.760 --> 01:38:10.319 She's probably like just mount. She's dismounting her camel, looking 1614 01:38:10.439 --> 01:38:12.439 at Isaac, like, who's this man? This is the man. 1615 01:38:12.520 --> 01:38:14.880 This is when you're Genna, marry Rebecca. She covered herself 1616 01:38:15.199 --> 01:38:18.520 and she's ready to do this, you know, so very 1617 01:38:18.600 --> 01:38:23.079 powerful stuff here, yeah, very powerful man. And faith cometh 1618 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:25.039 by hearing the word of God. This is how you 1619 01:38:25.159 --> 01:38:27.399 build faith hearing the word of God. This is why 1620 01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:30.680 I read the Bible directly from the Bible and then 1621 01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:33.279 try to let you guys know. And this is a 1622 01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:37.159 beautiful scene here. And then Isaac brought her into his 1623 01:38:37.319 --> 01:38:40.279 mother's Okay, it says, and the servant told Isaac all 1624 01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:43.199 the things that he had done. So the servant Abimelech 1625 01:38:43.319 --> 01:38:45.960 is telling him, hey, I traveled four hundred and fifty 1626 01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:50.039 miles I you know, I prayed when I got there, 1627 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:53.239 and this beautiful woman came and I asked for a 1628 01:38:53.279 --> 01:38:55.520 little drink. She gave me as much water as I wanted. 1629 01:38:56.159 --> 01:38:59.199 She ended up feeding giving water to all the camels. 1630 01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:02.920 And her hospitality was beautiful. She is a servant. She 1631 01:39:03.079 --> 01:39:05.439 did this not even knowing who I am. Just a 1632 01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:08.960 nice woman with the beautiful heart, you know, and and 1633 01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:11.199 and just took care of me, the hospitality, and then 1634 01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:13.039 she took me to you know, just told her everything 1635 01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:16.239 that had happened, you know. And I'm sure Isaac was like, okay, well, 1636 01:39:16.239 --> 01:39:20.319 hey she's beautiful, she's got hospitality, she has a beautiful heart. 1637 01:39:20.840 --> 01:39:24.039 And then Isaac brought her into this mother Sarah's tent, 1638 01:39:24.399 --> 01:39:27.560 and he took Rebecca and he became and she became 1639 01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:30.520 his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted 1640 01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:35.159 by his mother's death. So now Isaac obviously was still 1641 01:39:35.279 --> 01:39:38.920 mourning for his mother's death. Abraham said, hey, I need 1642 01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:41.239 you to go and get this wife. He goes out 1643 01:39:41.279 --> 01:39:45.600 there and gets it. Everything happens, And do they go 1644 01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:48.960 and get together and go to a church and and 1645 01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:52.159 have a pastor marry them or a priest to marry them. 1646 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:55.880 That is that the way this marriage went down. No, 1647 01:39:56.800 --> 01:40:01.319 it doesn't. The marriage becomes a fish when he took 1648 01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:07.199 Rebecca into that tent and he loved her, or he 1649 01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:10.439 made love to her, and that's that's what that that's 1650 01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:15.079 what that is. So marriage is not about It's not 1651 01:40:15.239 --> 01:40:18.680 biblical for you to take a man and wife and 1652 01:40:18.840 --> 01:40:21.920 go get a marriage certificate. That's not what marriage is about. 1653 01:40:23.840 --> 01:40:26.960 Marriage is when you go and you become one with somebody, 1654 01:40:27.039 --> 01:40:31.199 when you make love to them, and that's kind of 1655 01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:34.720 what you see here. But going and making a covenant 1656 01:40:34.800 --> 01:40:37.479 with God and getting married in a church or getting 1657 01:40:37.520 --> 01:40:41.840 married and getting marriage certificate, that's not biblical, but it 1658 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:44.119 is something we do. We make a covenant with God 1659 01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:46.119 till death to his part. I think it is beautiful 1660 01:40:46.159 --> 01:40:48.520 and I think it's important. But just to know biblically, 1661 01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:51.680 it's not about that they go into the tent and 1662 01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:54.159 he took Rebecca. He took her, which means he made 1663 01:40:54.199 --> 01:40:56.720 love to her and she became his wife. And so 1664 01:40:56.840 --> 01:40:59.199 it's all about when you go. You know, people think 1665 01:40:59.279 --> 01:41:01.560 that sex is so let me just go have sex 1666 01:41:01.600 --> 01:41:04.680 with this person, this person, this person. But biblically it's 1667 01:41:04.720 --> 01:41:08.279 about going. When you do that, you are now married. 1668 01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:12.520 So how many people are you married to biblically? Me? Man, 1669 01:41:12.600 --> 01:41:14.840 I before I got saved and everything, you know, before 1670 01:41:14.840 --> 01:41:21.079 I had my wife. Ah man uh yeah, very interesting man. 1671 01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:24.079 That that that that's that's what it's about there. So 1672 01:41:27.560 --> 01:41:31.920 we're gonna go to uh, we're gonna go to Genesis 1673 01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:38.720 twenty five and just continue reading here. So Abraham took 1674 01:41:38.800 --> 01:41:42.680 a wife. Her name is Katura, and she bore him 1675 01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:50.119 zim zim Ran joke Shan Medan medidion ishbak and Shua 1676 01:41:50.800 --> 01:41:54.079 joke shock butt Shiba d Dan. The sons of d 1677 01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:58.880 Dan were Assyrium, Lysium, uh Lumium, and the sons of 1678 01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:04.880 Midian were a Farr, fr haynok abhivian a Lota, and 1679 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:10.079 those were the children of Katara. So Abraham remarries and 1680 01:42:10.159 --> 01:42:14.600 took another wife, Katara, and bore more children. Remember that 1681 01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:18.800 his descendants would be many. Wow. So he actually has Katara, 1682 01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:21.960 a new wife, and they bore all these children. Some 1683 01:42:22.079 --> 01:42:24.640 of these children are actually going to be Saudi Arabia, 1684 01:42:25.359 --> 01:42:29.359 and different nations are through these children, and I think 1685 01:42:29.439 --> 01:42:32.359 that it's very important. A lot of people don't continue 1686 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:35.720 reading through the Book of Genesis, or maybe they only 1687 01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:39.319 know about these stories that pastors go over, but look 1688 01:42:39.359 --> 01:42:41.960 at all this right here. As you go through the Bible, 1689 01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:45.319 you find out that Abraham remarried, got with this lady, 1690 01:42:45.880 --> 01:42:52.279 and other nations came through them, and Abraham gave all 1691 01:42:52.439 --> 01:42:55.399 that he had to Isaac. But Abraham gave gifts to 1692 01:42:55.520 --> 01:43:00.800 the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had. One thing 1693 01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:04.840 that people they miss interpret concubines is being horrors, but 1694 01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:08.000 really it's not. It's like wives, you know, like like 1695 01:43:08.319 --> 01:43:10.640 they'd be like second wives. You might have a main 1696 01:43:10.680 --> 01:43:13.119 wife like he had Sarah, and then Hagar would be 1697 01:43:13.159 --> 01:43:16.359 like a concubine, which is like your second wife, you know. 1698 01:43:16.520 --> 01:43:20.800 But they're not like horrors. That's what people think, Well, 1699 01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:23.439 I got a thousand horrors. No, they're like a thousand wives. 1700 01:43:24.119 --> 01:43:26.600 Uh huh is what it means. Which Abraham had, and 1701 01:43:26.680 --> 01:43:29.720 while he was still living, he sent them eastward, away 1702 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.840 from Isaac and his son to the country of the East. 1703 01:43:33.399 --> 01:43:38.800 So let's read this real quick. Abraham's death and burial. 1704 01:43:39.199 --> 01:43:41.960 So we have Abraham's death and burial being recorded here. 1705 01:43:45.079 --> 01:43:49.159 So this is the sum of the years of Abraham's life, 1706 01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:55.119 which he had lived one hundred and twenty five years. 1707 01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:59.079 Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good 1708 01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:03.600 old age, an old man full of years, and was 1709 01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:07.319 gathered to his people, and his sons Isaac and Ishmael 1710 01:44:07.439 --> 01:44:11.520 buried him in the cave of Malak, which is before memory, 1711 01:44:11.680 --> 01:44:14.039 in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohara that 1712 01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:17.640 hits height, the field which Abraham purchased from the sons 1713 01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:21.279 of Heath, that Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife. 1714 01:44:21.680 --> 01:44:24.039 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham 1715 01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:27.680 that God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt in 1716 01:44:28.000 --> 01:44:34.720 in beer lehigh Roy. So let's see if what notes 1717 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:39.840 I have for Genesis twenty five. Yeah, so I didn't 1718 01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:41.800 know I was going to make it to Genesis twenty five. 1719 01:44:41.880 --> 01:44:45.279 I know it's we're about an hour fifty minutes in, 1720 01:44:46.640 --> 01:44:50.159 but there is some stuff I wanted to go over. 1721 01:44:50.359 --> 01:45:01.199 So so Katara had jakashan Sheiba and didan that's Saudi Arabia, 1722 01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:07.399 thedan if are ishar hanak Abadai, and alada are the Bedoians. 1723 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:10.560 Word are the Badoians from I have to look that up. 1724 01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:23.000 Badeau and nomadic arab of the desert is what Badoians mean, 1725 01:45:24.399 --> 01:45:31.840 meaning Badoian. They're desert dwellers. That's what that means. So 1726 01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:35.239 the Badoian are nomadic people who traditionally lived in the 1727 01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:38.000 deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. The term 1728 01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:42.479 Bidoyan comes from the Arabic word Badoi, which means desert dweller. 1729 01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:45.960 The Bible trays the early Israelites as nomads. Some scholars 1730 01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:49.079 believe that the Israelites were once in Badoian, which were 1731 01:45:49.560 --> 01:45:52.600 some ways of Badoian cultures reflected in the Bible. So 1732 01:45:52.920 --> 01:45:57.359 understand that. So we have that. Yeah, so I just 1733 01:45:57.479 --> 01:46:02.399 like to kind of go over the descendants. So, yeah, 1734 01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:05.600 we have that, and you know, we're we got probably 1735 01:46:05.600 --> 01:46:09.079 another nine minutes or so, so we'll kind of continue 1736 01:46:10.479 --> 01:46:14.199 going through this couple of genealogies before we end the 1737 01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:17.800 family of Ishmael and Isaac. Now, this is the genealogy 1738 01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:22.359 of Ishmael, Abraham's son in whom Hagar, the Egyptian Sarah's 1739 01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:25.680 maid servant bore to Abraham. And these were the names 1740 01:46:25.720 --> 01:46:27.920 of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to 1741 01:46:27.960 --> 01:46:37.359 the generations. The firstborn Navajath, then Kadar, Abdil Mibsam, Mishima, Dumah, Massa, Haydar, 1742 01:46:38.159 --> 01:46:42.239 tama Jatur, napish Cadath. These were the sons of Ishmael 1743 01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:44.680 that were in the names, but they're towns of their settlements. 1744 01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:52.560 Twelve princes according to their nation. So Ishmael has twelve princes. Wow, 1745 01:46:52.800 --> 01:46:57.000 I think that's fascinating. Just like the Angel of the Lord, 1746 01:46:57.199 --> 01:47:02.439 just like God promised Abraham, and just like he promised, 1747 01:47:05.560 --> 01:47:07.880 Ishmael was going to have descendants that are going to 1748 01:47:07.920 --> 01:47:12.039 be great. He has twelve princes that came from him, 1749 01:47:12.399 --> 01:47:15.720 and these became according to their nations. These were the 1750 01:47:15.840 --> 01:47:18.199 years in the life of Ishmael one hundred and thirty 1751 01:47:18.279 --> 01:47:21.399 seven years. And he breathed his last and died. He 1752 01:47:21.640 --> 01:47:24.600 was gathered to his people. They dwelt from the have 1753 01:47:24.760 --> 01:47:27.640 A Llah, thus is sure, which is east of Egypt, 1754 01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:30.199 as they go towards Syria. He died in the presence 1755 01:47:30.279 --> 01:47:33.359 of all his brethren, so it records his death here, 1756 01:47:33.840 --> 01:47:37.640 so and it also records his genealogy here. So it 1757 01:47:37.760 --> 01:47:41.600 is important. God loves all people, right, he loves all people, 1758 01:47:41.640 --> 01:47:45.520 and he's going over Ishmael's people. And I think that's 1759 01:47:45.600 --> 01:47:50.159 super interesting that his genealogy is there, the twelve princes, 1760 01:47:50.439 --> 01:47:54.920 the different nations that came from, the different nations that 1761 01:47:55.039 --> 01:47:59.119 came through him many, you know, just like the sands 1762 01:47:59.159 --> 01:48:02.399 of the seas, nations came through him. It's like God 1763 01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:06.479 had promised. This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham's son 1764 01:48:06.640 --> 01:48:09.720 Abraham Begat. Isaac. Isaac was forty years old when he 1765 01:48:09.840 --> 01:48:13.039 took Rebecca his wife, that virgin, that beautiful woman we 1766 01:48:13.119 --> 01:48:16.520 talked about, the daughter of Bethel the Syrian, of Puddin around, 1767 01:48:16.600 --> 01:48:20.279 the sister of Labam the Syrian. Now, Isaac pleaded with 1768 01:48:20.479 --> 01:48:23.680 the Lord for his wife because she was barren, and 1769 01:48:23.800 --> 01:48:27.840 the Lord granted his plea. So she also had problems conceiving. 1770 01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:32.039 What is going on here with this problem conceiving? Well, 1771 01:48:32.720 --> 01:48:35.640 what does this build? This makes it so that Isaac 1772 01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:39.079 praise to God for his wife to be barren for 1773 01:48:39.439 --> 01:48:43.600 him to open the wound. Abraham was praying to God 1774 01:48:43.720 --> 01:48:46.880 for Sarah to have a child. This is what's happening here. 1775 01:48:47.479 --> 01:48:52.119 Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife. This builds faith, 1776 01:48:52.479 --> 01:48:56.079 This builds relationship between Isaac and the Lord. Same thing 1777 01:48:56.159 --> 01:48:59.760 with Abraham. This makes it so that you're not depending 1778 01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:03.720 on man or depending on yourself, or depending on your wife. 1779 01:49:04.039 --> 01:49:07.520 You're depending on the Lord. You're praying. So if your 1780 01:49:07.560 --> 01:49:11.119 wife cannot conceive or have children, what should you be doing? 1781 01:49:12.279 --> 01:49:16.279 Pleading with the Lord for you to have children. Have 1782 01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:19.279 faith that you're going to be able to have children. 1783 01:49:21.680 --> 01:49:25.560 Me and my wife before we had our first daughter, Ariel, 1784 01:49:26.600 --> 01:49:30.800 we you know, we were praying because it was taking 1785 01:49:30.880 --> 01:49:33.720 a long time to conceive. I started having children late 1786 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:36.359 in life because I was in the military. I got 1787 01:49:36.439 --> 01:49:39.359 deployed and I was serving, you know, in the army, 1788 01:49:39.800 --> 01:49:46.439 So that that kind of being in that lifestyle, you know, leaving, 1789 01:49:46.680 --> 01:49:49.159 being gone and doing all that, it's it's a lot 1790 01:49:49.239 --> 01:49:51.920 difficult to have children. Also, I needed time to mature 1791 01:49:52.079 --> 01:49:54.640 because I was partying and doing all this crazy stuff 1792 01:49:54.680 --> 01:49:57.880 you know before, you know, I wasn't saved yet, So 1793 01:49:57.960 --> 01:50:00.159 I think God wanted time for me to mature. Once 1794 01:50:00.199 --> 01:50:02.600 I joined the military, I went through, you know, all 1795 01:50:02.680 --> 01:50:04.279 this stuff I had to go through through the army, 1796 01:50:04.720 --> 01:50:08.000 and I had children late in life, so we chose 1797 01:50:08.039 --> 01:50:10.640 to have children late. My wife is six years younger 1798 01:50:10.720 --> 01:50:14.199 than me, so she was accusing the child bearing age, 1799 01:50:14.520 --> 01:50:16.039 but I was getting up there in age, and we 1800 01:50:16.119 --> 01:50:18.800 had children late in life. So we prayed and prayed 1801 01:50:18.840 --> 01:50:21.000 and prayed, and we put oil on us and prayed, 1802 01:50:21.000 --> 01:50:24.119 and we did everything that we could, having my pastor 1803 01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:26.600 pray and we prayed, we prayed, and we finally had Ariel. 1804 01:50:27.479 --> 01:50:29.399 So what you gotta do is you got to plead 1805 01:50:29.560 --> 01:50:32.520 with the Lord. Okay, you gotta plead, you gotta pray, 1806 01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:35.560 and this is what happens here. And the Lord granted 1807 01:50:35.640 --> 01:50:39.920 his plea, and Rebecca, his wife, conceived, but the children 1808 01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:43.239 struggled together within her, and she said, all is well, 1809 01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:47.159 why I am like this? So she went to inquire 1810 01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:49.479 to the Lord, and the Lord said to her, two 1811 01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:53.520 nations are in your womb. Two people shall be separated 1812 01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:56.640 from your body. One people shall be stronger than the other. 1813 01:50:57.079 --> 01:51:01.079 The older shall serve the younger. So when her days 1814 01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:03.800 were fulfilled to give her birth, indeed there were twins 1815 01:51:03.840 --> 01:51:07.479 in her wound, and first came out red. He was 1816 01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:11.760 like a hairy garment all over, so that they called 1817 01:51:11.800 --> 01:51:15.960 him Esau. Afterward, his brother came out and his hand 1818 01:51:16.039 --> 01:51:19.760 took hold of Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. 1819 01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:24.039 Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them, so 1820 01:51:24.239 --> 01:51:26.600 Isaac was old too, man when he had children, sixty 1821 01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:29.600 years old having children. But they pleaded with the Lord, 1822 01:51:29.960 --> 01:51:32.760 but they knew. He knew that he was going to 1823 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.720 be able to have children, but he pleaded with God, 1824 01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:39.520 and he waited patiently for Rebecca, his love, and she 1825 01:51:39.800 --> 01:51:44.079 bore these twins, and he literally grabbed the heel. He 1826 01:51:44.199 --> 01:51:46.600 wanted to be the first born. He's like, get down, 1827 01:51:46.720 --> 01:51:49.840 but no, he ended up being born Esauth, first born, 1828 01:51:50.319 --> 01:51:53.760 and they called him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old 1829 01:51:54.079 --> 01:51:57.159 when she bore them. So the boys grew and Esau 1830 01:51:57.359 --> 01:52:00.119 was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but 1831 01:52:00.279 --> 01:52:03.720 Jacob was a mild man, dwelling intents. And Isaac loved 1832 01:52:04.079 --> 01:52:08.319 l because he ate of his game. But but Rebecca 1833 01:52:09.079 --> 01:52:14.319 loved Jacob. So we have a a sibling rivalry here, right. 1834 01:52:14.760 --> 01:52:18.920 We got Isau and uh and and and Jacob and 1835 01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:23.199 uh because he ate of his game, but Rebecca loved 1836 01:52:23.920 --> 01:52:26.279 Isaac loved because he ate of his game, so he 1837 01:52:26.319 --> 01:52:28.359 would just hunt for him and they would eat together, 1838 01:52:28.439 --> 01:52:30.640 and they would you know, dine together and dwell together. 1839 01:52:30.920 --> 01:52:34.359 Rebecca loved Jacob right. He was a tent dweller. It 1840 01:52:34.399 --> 01:52:37.000 seemed like he was more of a helping out around 1841 01:52:37.039 --> 01:52:40.159 the house the inside. He didn't really like to be outdoors. 1842 01:52:40.279 --> 01:52:43.680 Wasn't that type. But Esau was a hunter, right, so 1843 01:52:44.640 --> 01:52:47.920 manly man right, and he was red too. I think 1844 01:52:47.960 --> 01:52:53.880 that's really interesting. And he was Harry. That's just really interesting. Well, 1845 01:52:54.479 --> 01:52:57.880 I think we're well, we're gonna stop here. Uh we 1846 01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:02.479 we went over Genesis twenty five. We're halfway through, you 1847 01:53:02.520 --> 01:53:04.439 know what, we won't stop her. We'll continue real quick 1848 01:53:04.479 --> 01:53:07.520 and then we'll get to Genesis twenty six for next 1849 01:53:07.600 --> 01:53:12.479 week's session. Esau sells his birthright now, Jacob cooked a 1850 01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:16.319 stew and Esau came from the field, and he was weary. 1851 01:53:17.319 --> 01:53:19.520 What does that word weary mean. Let's see what that 1852 01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:30.840 says there, weary. So we're Genesis twenty five. This probably 1853 01:53:30.920 --> 01:53:37.880 means you starving. Genesis twenty five, verse twenty nine, and 1854 01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:40.640 Jacob sewed pottage and Esau came from the field and 1855 01:53:40.680 --> 01:53:44.000 he was faint, right, that's what the King James says. 1856 01:53:44.079 --> 01:53:49.319 He was faint, he was exhausted, he was weary, he 1857 01:53:49.520 --> 01:53:55.680 was hungry, thirsty. And Esau said to Jacob, please feed 1858 01:53:55.800 --> 01:53:58.960 me with the same bred stew, for I am weary. 1859 01:53:59.039 --> 01:54:02.319 Therefore his name was called eat him, eat them might. 1860 01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:06.560 Therefore his name was called eat them. But Jacob said, 1861 01:54:06.720 --> 01:54:10.319 sell me your birthright as of this day. And Esau said, look, 1862 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:13.479 I am about to die, so what is this birthright 1863 01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:16.319 to me? And Jacob said, swear to me of this day. 1864 01:54:16.920 --> 01:54:19.960 So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 1865 01:54:20.279 --> 01:54:23.560 And Jacob gave hisself bread and stew lentils, and then 1866 01:54:23.640 --> 01:54:26.399 he ate and drank a rose and went away. Does 1867 01:54:26.600 --> 01:54:30.479 Esau despise his birthright? So that's what we have here. 1868 01:54:31.119 --> 01:54:37.000 We have him selling his birthright. It's a very important 1869 01:54:37.079 --> 01:54:41.760 passage that people go over and and and uh. And 1870 01:54:42.039 --> 01:54:47.920 Esau despised his birthright. So Jacob, he wants to that 1871 01:54:48.079 --> 01:54:51.279 line is going to come through Jacob. Okay, uh, the 1872 01:54:51.399 --> 01:54:56.439 line of Jesus comes through Jacob. So there's a promise 1873 01:54:56.479 --> 01:54:59.920 there through him, you know. So we'll pick up next 1874 01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:03.720 the week. In Genesis twenty six, I should have some 1875 01:55:03.880 --> 01:55:08.079 very interesting stuff.

I will 1913 01:57:19.560 --> 01:57:22.479 just continue until we get to the end of revelation. 1914 01:57:22.640 --> 01:57:25.880 I'm prophesying this and I'm saying this in Jesus' name 1915 01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:28.720 that this show will continue.

So next week we're gonna 1918 01:57:33.199 --> 01:57:36.159 pick up in Genesis twenty six. We're gonna go over 1919 01:57:36.359 --> 01:57:39.159 Isaac and what he went through, and I hopefully we 1920 01:57:39.239 --> 01:57:41.840 can find some gold nuggets there that will help you 1921 01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:45.399 through build faith and help you to you know, in 1922 01:57:45.520 --> 01:57:50.479 your life. But what we gather from these verses that 1923 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:54.720 we went over is we gather the obedience, We gather faith. 1924 01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:59.039 We gather what men should do when their wife cannot 1925 01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:02.680 bear children. We gather that we need to pray and 1926 01:58:02.760 --> 01:58:05.720 go to the Lord. We also gathered that that Abraham's 1927 01:58:05.760 --> 01:58:09.560 servant he bowed down and prayed to God when he 1928 01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:12.119 ended up showing up there when you know, to get Rebecca, 1929 01:58:12.840 --> 01:58:16.479 he prayed. We see that Isaac pleaded with the Lord, 1930 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:19.039 or prayed to the Lord, or asked the Lord for 1931 01:58:19.199 --> 01:58:21.840 him to be able to build chillsen through Rebecca. There's 1932 01:58:22.039 --> 01:58:25.960 there's prayer there. The faith that Abraham had when when 1933 01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:29.520 he took Isaac on that mountain, the typeology of what 1934 01:58:29.720 --> 01:58:33.239 happens later on when God gave his only begotten son, 1935 01:58:33.399 --> 01:58:35.760 Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us go 1936 01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:40.840 Gothas where this was located. You know, we have typology 1937 01:58:40.920 --> 01:58:43.640 there of what happens later in life, but we have 1938 01:58:44.239 --> 01:58:47.119 Abraham's faith. We went over that and that way, you 1939 01:58:47.199 --> 01:58:50.119 guys can see this stuff in motion. Faith in motion, 1940 01:58:50.359 --> 01:58:52.720 you know, is what you see. You get faith acted out. 1941 01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:55.279 You got to see all that which is so fast 1942 01:58:55.319 --> 01:58:58.640 and important. But like I always do, though, I always 1943 01:58:58.720 --> 01:59:00.560 end this in prayer. So let's do that. So Father 1944 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:02.880 God and the name of Jesus, we appreciate everything you 1945 01:59:02.960 --> 01:59:05.960 do for us.
