Hello! Welcome to Faith Chapel.
00:00:30.44\00:00:32.04
My name is Jeff
Zaremsky. Today we're
00:00:32.07\00:00:33.71
gonna be talking
about the garments that
00:00:33.74\00:00:35.17
you see me wearing
and looking at it in
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.20
the light of the
Bible, don't worry,
00:00:37.28\00:00:38.46
I'm not gonna tell
you that everybody has to
00:00:38.63\00:00:40.13
wear it or that it
should be worn or anything
00:00:40.28\00:00:41.67
like that, but we're gonna learn
00:00:41.83\00:00:42.80
some spiritual
analogies from it.
00:00:42.81\00:00:44.13
But let's start with
prayer. Our Lord and God,
00:00:44.55\00:00:46.88
King of the
universe, speak through me and
00:00:47.02\00:00:49.65
speak to each one of
our hearts from heaven,
00:00:49.70\00:00:52.63
from your throne, in
Jesus holy name, amen.
00:00:52.84\00:00:56.17
The prayer shawl
that you see me wearing
00:00:57.48\00:00:59.21
it's traditionally
worn during Jewish people
00:00:59.92\00:01:01.50
during prayer times
and it's just like I say
00:01:01.57\00:01:03.46
a little background
just give you a little
00:01:03.49\00:01:04.53
history on it, again
not to get anyone all
00:01:04.60\00:01:07.59
fearful that we're
starting revolution here
00:01:07.62\00:01:09.87
that everyone has
to start wearing these
00:01:10.39\00:01:11.76
things, but some
interesting things we're
00:01:11.85\00:01:13.47
gonna look at.
They're usually 24 inches to
00:01:13.53\00:01:18.47
60 inches wide and
usually about 72 inches
00:01:18.50\00:01:21.85
long, so kind of
rectangular in shape.
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.79
The majority of them
have white colors like
00:01:24.51\00:01:26.19
you see this one with
some stripes some times
00:01:26.22\00:01:28.93
black stripes,
sometimes blue stripes maybe
00:01:28.96\00:01:31.56
a gold stripe
also, or a silver stripe,
00:01:31.59\00:01:34.05
but there's
variety colors today.
00:01:34.53\00:01:36.49
The most common ones
are the black or blue
00:01:37.07\00:01:39.35
with the majority
of it being white.
00:01:39.78\00:01:41.38
It traditionally
was only worn by men,
00:01:43.38\00:01:45.29
but today women are
wearing them as well
00:01:45.45\00:01:48.17
in Jewish circles.
There is no Biblical
00:01:48.49\00:01:51.21
injunction to wear a
Tallit to wear a prayer
00:01:51.29\00:01:54.79
shawl, although
there is a Bible text that
00:01:54.82\00:01:57.23
refers to the
fringes and we're gonna read
00:01:57.48\00:02:01.15
that text here and
to the prayer shawl is
00:02:01.24\00:02:04.39
basically just a
place to hang the fringes.
00:02:04.42\00:02:06.21
So let's the read
that Bible text out of
00:02:06.78\00:02:08.78
Numbers chapter 15 that says,
00:02:08.87\00:02:12.65
the Lord spoke
unto Moses, saying,
00:02:12.88\00:02:15.53
"Speak to the
children of Israel: Tell them
00:02:15.97\00:02:18.12
to make tassels on
the corners of their
00:02:18.15\00:02:19.83
garments
throughout their generations,
00:02:19.86\00:02:22.11
and to put a blue
thread in the tassels of the
00:02:22.64\00:02:25.58
corners. And you
shall have the tassel,
00:02:25.61\00:02:28.00
that you may look
upon it and remember
00:02:28.03\00:02:29.98
all the
commandments of the LORD and do
00:02:30.01\00:02:32.70
them. And that
you may not follow the
00:02:32.83\00:02:35.12
harlotry to which
your own heart and your
00:02:35.15\00:02:36.96
own eyes and
inclined, and that you
00:02:36.99\00:02:38.81
remember and do
all My commandments,
00:02:38.84\00:02:41.52
and be holy for your
God. I am the LORD your
00:02:41.86\00:02:45.47
God, who brought
you gout of the land of
00:02:45.50\00:02:47.03
Egypt, to be your God:
I am the LORD your God."
00:02:47.11\00:02:51.59
And so God is wanting
us to remember that He
00:02:52.74\00:02:54.01
is the Lord God that
He is all powerful and
00:02:54.04\00:02:55.58
He is the one who
brought us out of the
00:02:55.69\00:02:56.69
land of Egypt, and
we couldn't come out of
00:02:56.78\00:02:58.40
Egypt in our own
strength and power but that
00:02:58.45\00:03:00.24
he took God doing
it, and so He mentions
00:03:00.27\00:03:03.27
there in that
text, to put tassels.
00:03:03.33\00:03:06.14
Now I believe that
the tassels commandments
00:03:06.20\00:03:08.58
is very similar to the
Circumcision Commandment
00:03:08.61\00:03:10.69
that it came about
2500 years into earth's
00:03:11.16\00:03:15.68
history no one didn't
have tassels, Methuselah
00:03:15.72\00:03:18.45
didn't have tassels
even Abraham Isaac and
00:03:18.51\00:03:20.55
Jacob didn't have
tassels, it doesn't come along
00:03:20.69\00:03:22.39
again until the
writings of Moses. So there's a
00:03:22.83\00:03:25.06
specific time for a
specific purpose like
00:03:25.18\00:03:27.42
circumcision, but
the text does saying to
00:03:27.53\00:03:29.83
put it and it mentions
blue so we have to blue
00:03:29.86\00:03:32.01
ribbon on it as well.
Today, modern Tallit don't
00:03:32.19\00:03:36.22
usually have a blue
ribbon and there is a
00:03:36.25\00:03:38.62
rabbinical reason
for that but and there is
00:03:38.65\00:03:43.27
certain amount of
knots, that and knots and
00:03:43.31\00:03:45.85
coils and this again
rabbinical interpretation
00:03:45.97\00:03:48.30
they get the knots
and the coils to match up
00:03:48.54\00:03:50.73
to the sentence that
God is one as well as it
00:03:51.53\00:03:54.59
counting of them to
bring it up to the number
00:03:54.62\00:03:57.23
of 613 and there are
613 commandments in the
00:03:57.26\00:04:02.31
Torah, and there
is that symbolism of
00:04:02.38\00:04:04.90
can bringing it
back to the word of God,
00:04:04.93\00:04:06.55
bringing back to the Bible.
00:04:06.85\00:04:08.96
A Tallit is worn
for times of prayer,
00:04:13.26\00:04:15.14
some Jewish people
will wear a small Tallit
00:04:16.52\00:04:19.53
called a Tallit Katan
that usually worn under
00:04:19.65\00:04:22.55
their garments, but
the big ones that you
00:04:22.58\00:04:25.19
see that's one for
times of prayer and the
00:04:25.22\00:04:29.74
synagogues or in
Israel you see at the
00:04:29.79\00:04:31.75
western worn then
being worn their from
00:04:31.82\00:04:34.27
morning prayer in
their home. Lets look at
00:04:34.30\00:04:37.27
some Bible text
that biblical experiences
00:04:37.38\00:04:40.06
that possibly referring
to the Tallit and let's
00:04:40.09\00:04:43.01
start with the
Elijah. You remember Elijah he
00:04:43.04\00:04:44.94
was on Mount Carmel
and having this experience
00:04:44.98\00:04:47.48
with the pagan
Baal worshipers, and God
00:04:48.17\00:04:54.04
brings down fire from
heaven and destroys or
00:04:54.09\00:04:57.24
consumes the altar and
his sacrifice and all the
00:04:57.41\00:05:00.19
water that he
poured on it and ends the
00:05:00.25\00:05:02.28
three and half
years of drought, and then
00:05:02.47\00:05:04.83
it begins to rain
and many people surround
00:05:04.86\00:05:10.02
Elijah and believe
in Lord, believe in the
00:05:10.05\00:05:11.84
Lord of Elijah and
there is a great revival
00:05:11.87\00:05:13.87
taking place and
Elijah goes then running
00:05:13.90\00:05:16.31
and with King Ahab
and he comes and the
00:05:16.77\00:05:20.26
Queen tells them
that she's gonna have him
00:05:20.29\00:05:22.40
killed, Jezebel
says she's gonna have him
00:05:22.48\00:05:23.74
killed and he folds
his faith, wavers after
00:05:23.77\00:05:26.47
that high
experience and he goes running
00:05:26.50\00:05:28.57
again and he runs
all the way and he hides
00:05:28.60\00:05:30.57
in the mountain and
that's where we'll pick
00:05:30.60\00:05:31.69
up our text in First
Kings chapter 19 verses 11
00:05:31.72\00:05:35.53
through 13, Then He
said, go out, and God
00:05:35.56\00:05:38.66
speaks to him and
God says go out and stand
00:05:38.71\00:05:40.84
on the mountain
before the LORD." And behold,
00:05:40.87\00:05:43.49
the LORD passed by,
and a great and strong
00:05:43.52\00:05:46.51
wind tore into the
mountains and broke the
00:05:46.54\00:05:48.79
rocks in pieces,
that must have been some
00:05:48.83\00:05:50.71
mighty wind, and
before the LORD, but the
00:05:50.75\00:05:53.68
LORD was not in
the wind; and after the
00:05:53.71\00:05:55.94
wind and
earthquake, but the LORD was not
00:05:56.05\00:05:58.40
in the earthquake
and after the earthquake
00:05:58.43\00:06:00.71
a fire, but the
LORD was not in the fire;
00:06:00.76\00:06:03.51
and after the fire
a still small voice.
00:06:04.20\00:06:06.93
And so it was, when
Elijah heard it, that he
00:06:07.62\00:06:10.20
wrapped his face
in his mantle and went
00:06:10.27\00:06:13.96
out and stood in the
entrance of the cave.
00:06:14.10\00:06:17.01
Suddenly a voice
came to him, and saying,
00:06:17.98\00:06:19.83
"What are you
doing here Elijah?"
00:06:20.18\00:06:22.78
And so Elijah wraps
himself in his prayer
00:06:23.76\00:06:27.52
shawl in his mantle
and comes out before the
00:06:27.60\00:06:30.77
LORD hears the
LORD'S voice speaking in
00:06:30.80\00:06:32.84
that still small voice
and he wraps himself in
00:06:32.94\00:06:34.88
prayer and
surrender to the LORD God and
00:06:34.91\00:06:37.91
God is now able to
talk to him. Continue on in
00:06:37.94\00:06:42.34
Elijah's life and God
calls Elijah to go and
00:06:42.37\00:06:46.10
mentor Elisha to
replace him and so Elijah goes
00:06:46.16\00:06:51.09
down to where Elisha
is and we pick that up
00:06:51.12\00:06:54.77
in First Kings chapter
19 verse 19, and Elijah
00:06:54.80\00:06:59.28
So he departed from
there, and found Elisha
00:06:59.37\00:07:02.26
the son of Shaphat,
who was plowing with
00:07:02.31\00:07:05.50
the twelve yoke
of oxen before him,
00:07:05.55\00:07:07.36
and he was with the
twelfth. Then Elijah
00:07:07.66\00:07:11.51
passed by him and
threw his mantel on him.
00:07:11.54\00:07:15.16
And so Elijah then
comes up to him takes
00:07:15.76\00:07:18.23
his mantle takes
his prayer shawl that he
00:07:18.26\00:07:20.89
had used in prayer
and he threw it over
00:07:20.93\00:07:23.77
Elisha indicating that
he is passing the torch,
00:07:24.29\00:07:27.69
he is passing the
prophetic gift on to
00:07:27.76\00:07:33.23
Elijah. Elisha hesitates
a little bit and but then
00:07:33.50\00:07:37.66
comes and follows his
sacrifices of the oxen
00:07:37.81\00:07:40.96
that he has and he
follows Elijah. And eventually
00:07:41.08\00:07:46.26
Elijah then is
preparing to depart, God has
00:07:46.42\00:07:48.62
revealed to him that
it's time for him to leave
00:07:48.65\00:07:50.68
and so Elijah and
Elisha go down to the Jordan
00:07:50.88\00:07:54.63
river, back at the
entrance where we entered
00:07:54.80\00:07:56.84
Israel back during
the time of Joshua.
00:07:56.87\00:07:59.68
And so they are going back down,
00:08:00.19\00:08:01.43
they go back down
to the Jordan and we'll
00:08:01.46\00:08:02.83
pick it up in Second
Kings chapter 2 verses 8
00:08:02.90\00:08:06.73
through 13, Now
Elijah took his mantle,
00:08:06.78\00:08:09.89
so he takes off his
mantle he takes off his
00:08:09.94\00:08:11.39
prayer shawl, he takes
his mantle rolls it up,
00:08:11.42\00:08:13.48
and struck the water;
and it was divided this
00:08:13.58\00:08:16.64
way and that, so
that the two of them
00:08:16.67\00:08:18.74
crossed over on dry
ground. And it was so,
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.95
when they had crossed
over, that Elijah said
00:08:21.98\00:08:24.17
to Elisha, Ask!
What may I do for you,
00:08:24.20\00:08:27.22
before I am taken away from you?
00:08:27.40\00:08:29.19
And Elisha said,
Please let a double portion
00:08:29.57\00:08:32.69
of your spirit be
upon me. And so he said,
00:08:32.72\00:08:35.78
You have asked a
hard thing, nevertheless,
00:08:35.84\00:08:38.01
if you see me when
I am taken from you,
00:08:38.28\00:08:40.69
it shall be so for
you; but if not, it shall
00:08:40.97\00:08:44.00
not be so. And then
it happened, as they
00:08:44.03\00:08:46.77
continued on and
talked, that suddenly a
00:08:46.83\00:08:49.45
chariot of fire appeared
with the horses of fire,
00:08:49.56\00:08:53.16
and separated the
two of them; and Elijah
00:08:53.45\00:08:55.74
went up by
whirlwind into heaven.
00:08:55.78\00:08:57.83
And Elisha saw
it, and he cried out,
00:08:58.87\00:09:00.84
"My Father, my
Father, the chariot of Israel
00:09:00.89\00:09:03.87
and its horsemen!"
So he saw him no more.
00:09:03.90\00:09:06.61
And he took hold of
his own clothes and tore
00:09:07.10\00:09:09.29
them into two
pieces. And he also took up
00:09:09.42\00:09:12.10
the mantle of Elijah
that had fallen from him,
00:09:12.13\00:09:15.49
and went back and
stood by the bank of the
00:09:16.19\00:09:19.04
Jordan. So we see
here they come down to
00:09:19.07\00:09:22.74
the Jordan, Elijah
takes off the mantle,
00:09:22.82\00:09:24.97
takes off the prayer
shawl, strikes the water
00:09:25.00\00:09:27.64
of Jordan river and
it parts again just like
00:09:27.77\00:09:30.43
it did for them
entering in, in the time of
00:09:30.46\00:09:32.68
Joshua and they pass
over across and Elijah
00:09:32.71\00:09:35.90
makes this wonderful
offer to Elisha what would
00:09:36.02\00:09:38.04
you like and he asked
for a very good thing,
00:09:38.07\00:09:40.44
that same Holy
Spirit that's been upon you,
00:09:40.61\00:09:42.40
I want double
portion of that, if I'm gonna
00:09:42.58\00:09:45.96
take over the
ministry, if I'm gonna take
00:09:46.01\00:09:47.32
over your mantle,
if I'm gonna, if God is
00:09:47.35\00:09:48.76
gonna use me then I
one that use me powerfully
00:09:48.88\00:09:51.26
I want to be fully
surrendered to him,
00:09:51.35\00:09:52.89
I want to be fully
filled with him and I
00:09:52.92\00:09:54.26
want a double portion
of your spirit, that's a
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.66
great prayer. And so
Elijah tells him oh if you
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.67
get to see me go
then God is gonna grant it
00:10:00.70\00:10:02.38
to you and this thing
then the chariot comes
00:10:02.48\00:10:04.60
down and this is
symbolic of the second coming.
00:10:04.63\00:10:07.39
Now the Lord comes
down and translates
00:10:07.52\00:10:10.03
those that are
living straight up in the
00:10:10.66\00:10:11.93
heaven, takes Elijah
up to heaven and Elijah
00:10:11.96\00:10:16.30
could to see it.
Now, and it says as he's
00:10:16.33\00:10:18.35
going up, as Elijah
is going up he drops
00:10:18.38\00:10:21.11
you, he either
tosses or somehow he leaves
00:10:21.14\00:10:23.19
his prayer shawl, he
leaves his mantle again
00:10:23.40\00:10:26.86
passing that
anointing onto and it's not
00:10:27.01\00:10:31.46
the piece of the cloth
but passing that symbolic
00:10:31.49\00:10:34.37
prophetic anointing
onto Elijah and to he
00:10:36.18\00:10:40.21
picks up that mantle
the only thing that's
00:10:40.26\00:10:41.70
left of Elijah and
he leaves that, they say
00:10:41.73\00:10:44.52
you can't take it
with you, you know he
00:10:44.55\00:10:45.79
took everything else
with him, but he left
00:10:45.90\00:10:47.61
his prayer shawl,
he left his mantle,
00:10:47.80\00:10:49.27
and Elisha picks it
up and Elisha goes back
00:10:49.62\00:10:53.76
to the Jordan to
the same spot that they
00:10:54.24\00:10:57.41
had crossed over
before very close if
00:10:57.48\00:10:59.63
not the same sport
that the children of
00:10:59.66\00:11:02.04
Israel crossed over
and after the 40 years
00:11:02.07\00:11:04.39
in the wilderness and
so reliving the history
00:11:04.42\00:11:06.63
here again entering
into the promise land and
00:11:06.67\00:11:09.42
then right after
resurrection now entering
00:11:09.56\00:11:10.88
into the promised
land. We're gonna pick
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.51
it up in Second
Kings chapter 2 verse 14,
00:11:13.54\00:11:17.07
and he took the
mantle of Elijah that fell
00:11:17.53\00:11:19.71
from him and smote
the waters and said,
00:11:19.76\00:11:22.66
"Where is the
LORD, the God of Elijah?"
00:11:22.78\00:11:24.94
And when he also
had struck the waters
00:11:25.57\00:11:27.29
with that mantle
with that prayer shawl
00:11:27.39\00:11:29.16
they departed hither
and thither and Elisha
00:11:29.45\00:11:32.64
went over. And
when the sons of the
00:11:33.11\00:11:35.05
prophets, which
were to view at Jericho
00:11:35.25\00:11:37.33
saw him, they said,
The spirit of Elijah does
00:11:37.63\00:11:41.11
rest on Elisha. So
they were able to see
00:11:41.23\00:11:44.29
that the spirit of the
Lord that was on Elijah
00:11:44.32\00:11:46.10
was now on Elisha.
And I'm sure was more
00:11:46.14\00:11:48.97
than just seeing that
he's wearing his mantle
00:11:49.00\00:11:50.72
but with the spirit
of Lord there were just
00:11:51.25\00:11:52.41
able to see that
God's presence out of him
00:11:52.44\00:11:55.55
or we see being used
that the prayer shawl
00:11:56.26\00:11:57.88
as a mantle as a
passing on of that anointing.
00:11:57.91\00:12:01.75
Let's go back
several years before this
00:12:02.45\00:12:04.02
back to the time of
Samuel and Saul during
00:12:04.05\00:12:06.96
times of First Samuel
we'll look in the Bible
00:12:08.69\00:12:10.34
in First Samuel
chapter 15 verses 27 and 28,
00:12:10.37\00:12:15.04
and as Samuel
turned around to go away,
00:12:16.37\00:12:18.97
Saul seized the edge
of his robe, and it tore.
00:12:19.39\00:12:22.44
So Samuel said to
him, "The LORD has torn
00:12:22.98\00:12:25.37
the kingdom of
Israel from you today,
00:12:25.40\00:12:27.48
and had given it to
a neighbor of yours,
00:12:28.06\00:12:29.90
who is better than
you. And so, Samuel
00:12:30.12\00:12:34.74
and Saul had that's
turned from the LORD
00:12:34.77\00:12:37.27
not totally but in
his actions he was not
00:12:37.60\00:12:40.83
following the LORD
and so Samuel comes to
00:12:40.93\00:12:42.74
rebuke him and tells
him the kingdom's gonna
00:12:42.80\00:12:45.15
be taken from him.
King Saul grabs a hold
00:12:45.18\00:12:48.19
of his robe and tears,
the scripture said tears
00:12:48.32\00:12:53.02
the border and he
tore it, grabbed that sees
00:12:53.33\00:12:56.53
the edge of the robe
and that's right where
00:12:56.56\00:12:59.16
the blue would be,
that's where that blue
00:12:59.19\00:13:01.28
ribbon would have
been and he tears that.
00:13:01.35\00:13:04.28
Now the, the white
in the robe represents
00:13:04.85\00:13:07.94
the righteousness,
the purity of God's
00:13:08.16\00:13:10.71
righteousness. Gold
would represent faith,
00:13:10.74\00:13:13.16
but the blue will
represent God's royal law.
00:13:13.30\00:13:16.40
And so he tears
the edge of his robe.
00:13:16.99\00:13:19.72
In other words he's
broken the commandments
00:13:21.64\00:13:23.89
just as Moses did
when we were breaking
00:13:24.23\00:13:26.61
the commandments
at the base of the
00:13:26.64\00:13:28.25
mountain Moses
came down and then broke
00:13:28.40\00:13:30.88
the physical
commandments, because we had
00:13:31.26\00:13:33.66
already broken
them. And so here Saul had
00:13:33.86\00:13:37.28
been breaking the
commandments and so now
00:13:37.31\00:13:39.03
he whips the robe.
In other words, Samuel
00:13:39.06\00:13:42.89
sees that analogy
and says that the kingdom
00:13:42.99\00:13:44.92
has been torn from
you, it's been whipped from
00:13:44.99\00:13:47.39
you, you've
broken God's laws, you've
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.66
broken your
connection with Him and you
00:13:49.76\00:13:51.83
just symbolically
done it whipping the edge
00:13:51.86\00:13:54.73
of that garment,
whipping that blue thread
00:13:54.76\00:13:57.20
which is a
reminder of the commandments
00:13:57.23\00:13:59.34
of God and that God
is that one who leads
00:13:59.57\00:14:02.29
us and guides us
and delivers us. We go
00:14:02.32\00:14:06.67
back even further in
history and we go back
00:14:06.73\00:14:09.35
to the time of Israel,
Jacob Israel and Joseph.
00:14:09.43\00:14:13.45
Genesis chapter 37
verse 3, and the Bible
00:14:14.07\00:14:17.93
says in this text that
Israel, now Israel loved
00:14:17.97\00:14:21.48
Joseph more than all
his children, because he was
00:14:21.51\00:14:24.99
the son of his old
age. And he made him a
00:14:25.02\00:14:27.40
tunic of many
colors. And so we see the
00:14:27.43\00:14:30.25
Bible using some
different terms mantle,
00:14:30.28\00:14:32.56
robe, tunic, coat, his
coat of many colors his
00:14:32.60\00:14:36.10
outer garment. It
might not have been a prayer
00:14:36.17\00:14:38.26
shawl but very
well could have been of
00:14:38.29\00:14:40.05
many colors and
today they have ones,
00:14:40.08\00:14:41.90
they called them
Joseph's coat that have
00:14:41.93\00:14:43.62
more colors then the
one I am wearing today,
00:14:43.69\00:14:45.45
very brightly colored
but still with the majority
00:14:45.75\00:14:47.53
of it being white.
And so, Jacob makes this
00:14:47.56\00:14:52.02
coat for him, and we
know that Jacob has a
00:14:52.09\00:14:55.46
heart after Joseph
and is desiring to pass on
00:14:55.49\00:14:58.26
the lineage to him,
wanting him to receive
00:14:58.29\00:15:00.76
the birthright,
wanting him to take over,
00:15:00.92\00:15:02.73
even though he is
the 11th of the 12th sons
00:15:02.80\00:15:05.65
of Israel of Jacob,
and yet he has a heart
00:15:05.69\00:15:09.49
for him. Jacob is,
Joseph is the firstborn
00:15:09.52\00:15:12.30
of his wife Rachel
that he loves more than
00:15:12.75\00:15:16.96
he loves Leah and so
he is wanting to bestow
00:15:16.99\00:15:19.05
upon Joseph this
mantle as we see with like
00:15:19.08\00:15:23.08
Elijah this mantle of
authority to pass it on
00:15:23.28\00:15:26.84
to Joseph and so he
makes him this coat of
00:15:27.26\00:15:29.74
many colors. And,
of course the brothers
00:15:30.05\00:15:33.66
kind of pick up on this
that something special's
00:15:33.79\00:15:35.41
going on here that
hey that dad's bypassing
00:15:35.44\00:15:38.51
us and he's going
to be passing on this
00:15:38.54\00:15:41.48
authority onto
Joseph and give him all the
00:15:41.51\00:15:44.18
specialties of the
double portion and of the
00:15:44.21\00:15:47.06
spiritual
leadership and so they're very
00:15:47.32\00:15:49.64
jealous, they've
been jealous of Joseph to
00:15:49.73\00:15:51.13
begin with and this
is kind of the icing on
00:15:51.24\00:15:53.10
the cake, and so we
pick it up there in the
00:15:53.13\00:15:55.73
same chapter
Genesis chapter 37 verse 23,
00:15:55.76\00:15:59.45
where it says
that it came to pass,
00:15:59.71\00:16:02.12
and so it came to
pass, when Joseph had
00:16:02.15\00:16:04.33
come to his
brothers, that they stripped
00:16:04.36\00:16:06.86
Joseph of his
tunic that was on him,
00:16:06.90\00:16:10.08
the tunic of many
colors that was on him.
00:16:10.21\00:16:13.07
And so the brothers
are not happy at all,
00:16:13.83\00:16:15.74
they ripped this
tunic off the symbolism off,
00:16:16.14\00:16:19.31
the symbol of
authority, the symbol of
00:16:19.38\00:16:20.85
rulership over
them, and they rip it off
00:16:21.00\00:16:23.13
of him. They could
have taken anything off,
00:16:23.16\00:16:25.52
but that is specifically
where their anger is at,
00:16:25.59\00:16:28.76
they rip this off
of him and they're just
00:16:29.41\00:16:32.14
trying to rip the
authority from him,
00:16:32.19\00:16:34.28
and take back their
feeling of rightness of
00:16:34.49\00:16:37.59
the role of the first
born and receiving the
00:16:37.62\00:16:41.46
inheritance. And
then in Genesis chapter 37
00:16:41.49\00:16:44.08
verse 31, so they
took Joseph's tunic,
00:16:44.44\00:16:47.84
killed a kid of the
goat, and dipped the tunic
00:16:48.34\00:16:50.90
in the blood. So
here they take Joseph,
00:16:50.93\00:16:53.55
they take his coat
away, they take his tunic
00:16:53.74\00:16:55.38
away, they take
his outer garment this
00:16:55.44\00:16:57.31
prayer shawl away
and the symbolism of
00:16:57.34\00:16:59.86
God's love of his
father's love for him and
00:16:59.98\00:17:01.79
authority and they
killed his goat and they
00:17:01.82\00:17:03.87
dipped it in blood.
And so now his garment
00:17:04.12\00:17:06.77
his outer garment
is colorful garment,
00:17:07.37\00:17:09.38
his brightly
colored garment coat kind of
00:17:09.63\00:17:11.74
many colors is
now dipped in blood,
00:17:11.77\00:17:13.80
a robe dipped in
blood. And as we think of
00:17:13.87\00:17:17.71
Joseph and we
think how he's then sold
00:17:17.75\00:17:19.88
into Egypt and then
he's there in Egypt and
00:17:19.91\00:17:22.26
he becomes the
sitting at the right hand of
00:17:22.29\00:17:26.06
the ruler and from
there he is used to save
00:17:26.09\00:17:30.78
and deliver the
people. Well, that makes me
00:17:31.06\00:17:33.77
think of
Revelation and as we turn to
00:17:33.86\00:17:35.35
Revelation chapter
19 verses 13 and 16 the
00:17:35.41\00:17:41.71
scripture says, and
he was clothed referring
00:17:41.78\00:17:43.99
to Jesus, that he
is clothed with a robe
00:17:44.02\00:17:48.09
dipped in blood. Just
like Joseph's robe was
00:17:49.25\00:17:52.67
dipped in blood and
his name is called the
00:17:52.74\00:17:56.38
word of God. And
he was on, and he has
00:17:56.41\00:18:01.62
on his robe and on
his thigh a name written
00:18:01.65\00:18:04.67
King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. And so,
00:18:05.13\00:18:08.92
Jesus himself wrapped
in a robe that is also
00:18:09.24\00:18:13.43
dipped in blood
just as Joseph's robe was
00:18:13.48\00:18:16.95
dipped in blood and
God used him to save the
00:18:17.01\00:18:20.01
people. God uses
Jesus' robe dipped in blood,
00:18:20.04\00:18:24.59
Himself dipped in
blood, His life dipped in
00:18:24.99\00:18:27.45
blood. When we see
that robe representing
00:18:27.48\00:18:29.29
Him, the robe is
dipped in blood Jesus was the
00:18:29.32\00:18:31.39
one that was dipped
in blood, He is the one
00:18:31.42\00:18:33.30
who shed His blood
for us. It wasn't His robe
00:18:33.33\00:18:35.03
that were shed, it
wasn't His robe that was
00:18:35.10\00:18:36.99
dipped it was He
Himself that was dipped in
00:18:37.02\00:18:40.67
blood. And so the
robe itself is symbolic of
00:18:40.76\00:18:44.68
Jesus. We'll see that
here a little bit more.
00:18:44.71\00:18:47.43
Let's look now in
The Book Of Luke in the
00:18:48.84\00:18:51.75
time of Jesus on
this earth as a human
00:18:51.82\00:18:54.42
being down from
heaven. Luke chapter 8 verses
00:18:54.54\00:18:59.01
43 and 44, now a
woman, having a flow of
00:18:59.04\00:19:04.53
blood for twelve
years, who had spent
00:19:04.58\00:19:07.84
all her livelihood on
physicians and could not
00:19:07.92\00:19:10.86
be healed by any,
came from behind and
00:19:10.91\00:19:13.91
touched the
border of His garment.
00:19:14.03\00:19:17.18
And immediately her
flow of blood stopped.
00:19:17.62\00:19:21.08
That's very
interesting that she has had
00:19:22.27\00:19:25.58
this illness for
twelve years at this point
00:19:25.61\00:19:28.07
of time Jesus is
on His way to heal a
00:19:28.67\00:19:31.81
young girl who has
died, who is twelve
00:19:32.01\00:19:34.90
years old. And so
there's this twelve year
00:19:34.93\00:19:36.94
old girl and this
lady comes to Him and she
00:19:36.97\00:19:39.57
has a sickness
about the same time twelve
00:19:39.60\00:19:41.80
years she gets sick
about the same time this
00:19:41.83\00:19:43.95
child is born, and
she comes up to Jesus
00:19:43.98\00:19:46.60
and she says to
herself if I might just touch
00:19:46.66\00:19:48.80
the border of His
garments. Now to reach
00:19:49.08\00:19:53.22
the border of His
garment if he was wearing
00:19:53.59\00:19:55.12
it as he is walking
along and he's wearing it
00:19:55.17\00:19:56.69
down like this and
he's just wearing this
00:19:56.72\00:19:58.44
outer garment
just down like this,
00:19:58.47\00:20:00.15
she's got to kind of
bend over in order to
00:20:00.18\00:20:02.96
reach the edge, in
order to reach the border
00:20:03.05\00:20:05.50
of His garment.
She's gotta humble herself
00:20:05.78\00:20:08.58
in a way to come
down and reach it.
00:20:08.62\00:20:11.02
She could just say
it would be a whole lot
00:20:11.24\00:20:12.34
easier if I could
just reach across somebody
00:20:12.46\00:20:13.82
and just touch
His shoulder and touch
00:20:13.85\00:20:15.23
anywhere on Him or
touch any part of him
00:20:15.31\00:20:18.14
but she wants to
touch the border of his
00:20:19.16\00:20:21.61
garment and
again that's where the,
00:20:21.66\00:20:23.54
where the blue would
be the, the blue ribbon
00:20:23.83\00:20:25.89
that would have been
on the border of Jesus'
00:20:26.14\00:20:29.29
outer garment.
Certainly he was a practicing
00:20:29.46\00:20:33.54
Jewish man and he
was would have been
00:20:33.58\00:20:35.03
wearing a outer
garment and so she wants
00:20:35.10\00:20:38.27
to touch that
border and as she touches
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.66
that border, again
symbolizing God's love,
00:20:40.89\00:20:44.03
symbolizing God's
righteousness, symbolizing
00:20:44.16\00:20:46.48
God's commandments,
in other words she's
00:20:46.75\00:20:48.75
repent and she's
bowed down before the Lord
00:20:48.78\00:20:50.90
sorry for the sins
of her past, but wanting
00:20:50.93\00:20:53.24
to keep the
commandments, wanting the God
00:20:53.27\00:20:54.82
to deliver her, to
heal her and to touch her
00:20:54.90\00:20:58.04
life and to come
into her life, putting her
00:20:58.07\00:21:01.02
life into harmony with
him, and as she touches
00:21:01.05\00:21:03.53
that touch of faith
touches the border of
00:21:03.56\00:21:06.97
His garment. She is
made whole and she's
00:21:07.13\00:21:11.13
healed right then
and there. And so that
00:21:11.17\00:21:13.91
number 12 that
number of totality we have
00:21:13.94\00:21:15.86
the twelve tribes and
the twelve disciples and
00:21:15.89\00:21:20.12
so we have this
year's twelve and then
00:21:20.15\00:21:21.70
Jesus goes on and
then He heals and raises
00:21:21.88\00:21:23.79
his life that girl
who was dead who was
00:21:23.82\00:21:27.19
twelve years old. So
we see Jesus wearing this
00:21:27.22\00:21:30.00
garment, and her
touching the garment.
00:21:30.09\00:21:32.41
Now this garment
that Jesus is wearing is
00:21:32.52\00:21:34.70
mentioned another
place in the scriptures,
00:21:34.73\00:21:36.70
but prophetically
mentioned back in Psalm
00:21:36.97\00:21:40.43
22, Psalm 22
verse 18, it says that,
00:21:40.54\00:21:45.83
they divided My
garments among them,
00:21:46.23\00:21:49.04
and for My
clothing they cast lots.
00:21:49.44\00:21:53.04
So there is this
prophetic portion that the
00:21:53.97\00:21:57.38
Messiah is going to
come in Isaiah 20:22,
00:21:57.41\00:22:00.93
I mean Psalm 22 the
very prophetic chapter
00:22:00.96\00:22:02.93
of the Messiah dying,
His hands being pierced
00:22:03.18\00:22:05.92
and his feet being
pierced and it says they dip,
00:22:06.32\00:22:08.27
they divided His
garments among them,
00:22:08.55\00:22:10.70
and for the
clothing they cast lots.
00:22:11.12\00:22:12.86
And we see that
being fulfilled in Jesus.
00:22:13.33\00:22:16.34
When He's on His
way to the cross as
00:22:17.60\00:22:19.64
mentioned in John
chapter 19 verses 23
00:22:19.81\00:22:23.54
and 24, it says, and
the soldiers, when they
00:22:24.09\00:22:27.88
had crucified Jesus,
took His garments and
00:22:27.94\00:22:32.14
made four parts to
each soldier a part,
00:22:32.17\00:22:34.84
and also the tunic.
Now the tunic was without
00:22:35.60\00:22:40.15
seam, woven from
the top in one piece.
00:22:40.21\00:22:44.46
And they said
therefore among themselves,
00:22:45.33\00:22:46.61
let us not tear it,
but cast lots for it,
00:22:46.82\00:22:49.18
whose it should be
that the scripture might
00:22:49.56\00:22:52.11
be fulfilled which
says; they divided My
00:22:52.14\00:22:55.37
garments among
them, and for My clothing
00:22:55.40\00:22:57.79
they cast lots. And
so this tunic again,
00:22:58.18\00:23:02.60
he mentions that
tunic, that outer coat His
00:23:02.63\00:23:04.38
garment, which
garment of all that he was
00:23:04.41\00:23:06.42
wearing they
divide all His clothes up,
00:23:06.45\00:23:08.22
they divide it into
four parts, but this one
00:23:08.25\00:23:11.36
garment and it
describes the garment,
00:23:11.86\00:23:13.28
it describes the
garment as not having any
00:23:13.65\00:23:16.27
seam, the
prayer shawls have not,
00:23:16.32\00:23:17.88
don't have any
seam, woven from top to
00:23:17.91\00:23:20.19
bottom seamless
garment, and something
00:23:20.29\00:23:22.60
of value that they
would want to keep,
00:23:22.67\00:23:24.49
that they wouldn't
want to just be ripped
00:23:24.55\00:23:26.01
into four pieces and
divide up and use His
00:23:26.04\00:23:28.57
rags, but they know
it has some value maybe
00:23:28.60\00:23:30.61
they're able to
sell it on the market for
00:23:30.75\00:23:32.13
every reason these
roman soldiers who want it,
00:23:32.19\00:23:33.92
but they're fulfilling
the promise that they,
00:23:34.24\00:23:36.30
the prophecy that
they cast lots for His
00:23:36.53\00:23:38.67
garment. It was the
prayer shawl that they
00:23:38.76\00:23:41.06
were casting their
lots for, that they were
00:23:41.09\00:23:42.92
casting lots
for, that they wanted,
00:23:42.95\00:23:44.87
that seamless
garment as in fulfillment of
00:23:45.60\00:23:49.23
that Psalms 22
chapter. Now, this prayer
00:23:49.52\00:23:58.06
shawl, this garment,
let's look at some text
00:23:58.09\00:24:01.05
regarding it in
light of God and how it
00:24:01.08\00:24:03.19
represents God.
Psalm 104 verses 1 and 2,
00:24:03.28\00:24:08.29
Bless the Lord, o
my soul! O LORD my God,
00:24:09.28\00:24:12.76
you are very great:
You are clothed with honor
00:24:13.25\00:24:17.70
and majesty, Who
cover yourself with light as
00:24:17.97\00:24:23.16
with a garment.
And so God Himself,
00:24:23.58\00:24:27.31
who stretched out to
heaven like a curtain.
00:24:27.69\00:24:30.04
So God himself he's
clothed in his garment
00:24:30.76\00:24:34.55
of light. He's clothed
in majesty and in honor.
00:24:34.74\00:24:38.12
He is very great and
He covers Himself with
00:24:38.36\00:24:41.10
a garment of light.
Now, if I asked people what
00:24:41.13\00:24:45.43
were Adam and Eve
wearing in the Garden
00:24:45.52\00:24:47.53
of Eden, and most
people will say well they
00:24:47.56\00:24:49.51
were naked and
they weren't wearing
00:24:49.54\00:24:50.74
anything, that's not
true they were clothed
00:24:50.77\00:24:53.28
in God's garment
of light. The same one
00:24:53.67\00:24:56.58
that he has, the
same garment that He is
00:24:56.62\00:24:58.39
covered with that
righteousness of light,
00:24:58.48\00:25:00.91
it wasn't until they
sinned that they became
00:25:01.22\00:25:03.80
naked and left that
garment of righteousness
00:25:03.91\00:25:07.97
and then they had
to cover themselves,
00:25:08.32\00:25:10.67
they tried to
cover themselves with fig
00:25:11.03\00:25:12.44
leaves and then after
they leaved the Garden
00:25:12.47\00:25:15.27
of Eden after
they're kicked out of the
00:25:15.30\00:25:16.42
Garden of Eden, God
then the scriptures say
00:25:16.45\00:25:18.35
God covers them,
clothes them with animal
00:25:18.50\00:25:22.14
skins, where they
get these animal skins
00:25:22.29\00:25:24.82
from? They had to
sacrifice lambs to receive
00:25:24.85\00:25:29.66
forgiveness and
of those same lambs,
00:25:29.69\00:25:31.77
lambs that they
have never seen die
00:25:31.82\00:25:33.16
before they
themselves had to kill,
00:25:33.19\00:25:34.83
they themselves had
to slit their throats and
00:25:34.98\00:25:37.22
then clothed
themselves, God clothed them
00:25:37.25\00:25:39.56
with those skins
off of that sacrifice,
00:25:39.91\00:25:42.35
off of those lambs.
And that's the same thing
00:25:42.38\00:25:45.20
God covers us with
Jesus. He covers our
00:25:45.23\00:25:48.57
sinful nakedness with
His robe of righteousness,
00:25:48.60\00:25:52.86
he is clothed with
light and he wants to
00:25:53.37\00:25:54.78
cover us with
light. He is all light,
00:25:54.87\00:25:56.65
He is all purity, He
is all righteousness and
00:25:56.73\00:25:59.17
that's what the
prayer shawl presents that
00:25:59.20\00:26:00.61
white purity of
God's righteousness.
00:26:00.64\00:26:03.34
And then Isaiah
chapter 61 verses 3 and 10
00:26:04.41\00:26:08.89
we read, to console
those who mourn in Zion,
00:26:09.12\00:26:12.74
to give them beauty
for ashes, the oil of joy
00:26:12.90\00:26:15.87
for mourning, the
garment of praise for
00:26:15.90\00:26:18.23
the spirit of heaviness;
that they may be called
00:26:18.26\00:26:21.14
Trees of Righteousness,
the planting of the
00:26:21.36\00:26:23.81
LORD, that He may be
glorified." God wants
00:26:23.84\00:26:28.76
to clothe us with His
righteousness with His
00:26:28.79\00:26:31.45
robe of righteousness,
He wants to clothe us
00:26:31.52\00:26:34.86
with Jesus, He wants
to clothe us with Jesus'
00:26:34.91\00:26:36.62
righteousness, and
just as it's mentioned when
00:26:36.67\00:26:38.99
it's mentioned there
in the book of Numbers
00:26:39.02\00:26:41.40
about the tassels
that we could not deliver
00:26:41.58\00:26:44.81
ourselves that of
the Egypt. We can not
00:26:44.84\00:26:46.86
deliver ourselves
out of sin, we can not
00:26:46.91\00:26:48.95
deliver ourselves
out of our wrong habits,
00:26:48.98\00:26:50.95
it needs to be
Jesus, Jesus needs to take
00:26:51.31\00:26:53.14
control of our
lives. We need to come under
00:26:53.17\00:26:54.79
His presence, we need
to come under His blood
00:26:54.89\00:26:56.91
stained robe, we
need to receive His
00:26:57.24\00:26:59.13
forgiveness for our
sins, we need to have
00:26:59.20\00:27:00.80
Him transform our
hearts, we need to have
00:27:00.88\00:27:02.59
Him live out His
commandments in us and
00:27:02.73\00:27:04.35
through us and for
us and that symbolism of
00:27:04.38\00:27:06.81
his righteousness
his robe covering us and
00:27:06.87\00:27:09.49
that's what He will
see in the judgment,
00:27:09.60\00:27:11.59
he won't see us
in our deformities,
00:27:11.62\00:27:13.35
but our sins will be
forgiven, our record will
00:27:13.38\00:27:15.32
be washed clean
and he'll see Jesus'
00:27:15.35\00:27:17.46
robe of righteousness,
that robe of light
00:27:17.49\00:27:19.87
covering us and
shining through in his Jesus'
00:27:20.85\00:27:23.66
righteousness
that sees us through,
00:27:23.76\00:27:25.50
not our own
righteousness. We have no
00:27:25.63\00:27:27.14
righteousness
of our own, our own
00:27:27.18\00:27:28.97
righteousness is
like filthy rag not like a
00:27:29.00\00:27:31.91
holy garment of
His righteousness.
00:27:31.96\00:27:34.59
And so as we
surrender our own deeds and
00:27:35.09\00:27:37.00
our own actions
and our own ways and
00:27:37.03\00:27:38.65
our own thoughts
and our own desires
00:27:38.68\00:27:40.76
and surrender them
all to Him and allow
00:27:40.95\00:27:43.30
Him to anoint our
mind and our heart and
00:27:43.36\00:27:46.03
write His laws in
our hearts and in our
00:27:46.19\00:27:47.54
minds and in our
actions, He will live
00:27:47.62\00:27:49.54
through us and for
His honor and glory will
00:27:49.60\00:27:52.20
be magnified and
glorified, God bless you.
00:27:52.23\00:27:55.13
