UNDERSTANDING OF THE
GREAT COVENANT THAT YOU HAVE

MADE WITH MANKIND
AND HOW WE CAN BECOME THE
00:08:24.37\00:08:26.47
RECIPIENTS OF THE
BLESSINGS OF THAT COVENANT
00:08:26.47\00:08:29.00
BY FAITH IN JESUS.
BE WITH US THIS MORNING,
00:08:29.00\00:08:32.14

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
00:08:32.14\00:08:35.08
OUR LESSON TODAY WILL
BE BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR
00:08:35.08\00:08:37.28

THANK YOU, PASTOR DOUG.
00:08:37.28\00:08:43.02
>>THANK YOU, PASTOR
ROSS. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.
00:08:43.02\00:08:46.42
>>GOOD MORNING.
>>AND HAPPY SABBATH.
00:08:46.42\00:08:49.29
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR
FRIENDS THAT ARE STUDYING
00:08:49.29\00:08:50.99
FOR SABBATH SCHOOL
STUDY HOUR WITH US ON TV.
00:08:50.99\00:08:54.66
WE HAVE AN
EXTENDED CLASS OUT THERE.
00:08:54.66\00:08:57.60
WE'RE REMINDED WHENEVER
WE TRAVEL, HOW MANY PEOPLE
00:08:57.60\00:08:59.73
OUT THERE ARE PART OF
THE GROWING CLASS AND THAT IS
00:08:59.73\00:09:05.51
A PRIVILEGE TO GREET
YOU. WE ARE STUDYING THE BOOK
00:09:05.51\00:09:08.78
OF JEREMIAH AND, IN
PARTICULAR TODAY, WE'RE
00:09:08.78\00:09:11.85
GOING TO BE
LOOKING AT JEREMIAH 31:31.
00:09:11.85\00:09:16.15
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
MONTHS HAVE 31 DAYS IN THEM.
00:09:16.15\00:09:18.99
YOU MIGHT REMEMBER IT
THAT WAY - JEREMIAH 31:31 -
00:09:18.99\00:09:22.56
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
NEW COVENANT PEOPLE ALWAYS
00:09:22.56\00:09:25.13
THINK, WELL, YOU GO TO
THE NEW TESTAMENT TO FIND THE
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.40
NEW COVENANT. THAT'S NOT
TRUE. FIRST PLACE YOU FIND THE
00:09:27.40\00:09:31.27
NEW COVENANT IS
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:09:31.27\00:09:34.34
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN
FIND THE NEW COVENANT ALL
00:09:34.34\00:09:35.84
THE WAY BACK IN
THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.61
IT'S REPEATED BY
MOSES. BUT CERTAINLY JEREMIAH
00:09:37.61\00:09:41.18
31:31 - AND THAT'S OUR
MEMORY VERSE IF YOU WANT
00:09:41.18\00:09:43.58
TO SAY THIS WITH ME -
I'VE GOT IT HERE OUT OF THE
00:09:43.58\00:09:46.21
NEW KING JAMES
VERSION. YOU READY?
00:09:46.21\00:09:48.92
"'BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE
COMING,' SAYS THE LORD,
00:09:48.92\00:09:52.89
'WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW
COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF
00:09:52.89\00:09:56.19
ISRAEL AND WITH THE
HOUSE OF JUDAH'" - NOW BEFORE I
00:09:56.19\00:10:00.20
GO ANY FARTHER, AND WE
STUDY THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:10:00.20\00:10:02.73
NEW COVENANT, IF YOU
ASKED THE TYPICAL CHRISTIAN IN A
00:10:02.73\00:10:08.04
BAPTIST OR METHODIST
OR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND
00:10:08.04\00:10:10.74
SAY, 'TELL ME, ARE
YOU SAVED UNDER THE NEW
00:10:10.74\00:10:15.51
COVENANT OR OLD
COVENANT?' THEY'LL SAY, 'NEW
00:10:15.51\00:10:17.58
COVENANT.' AND I'LL SAY,
'IS THE NEW COVENANT WITH
00:10:17.58\00:10:21.38
THE GENTILES OR WITH THE JEWS?'
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'LL SAY?
00:10:21.38\00:10:25.49
'IT'S WITH THE
GENTILES, OF COURSE, THE OLD
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.02
COVENANT WAS WITH THE
JEWS.' TRY IT SOMETIME.
00:10:27.02\00:10:31.66
BUT IT'S PATENTLY
WRONG. WHERE DOES HE SAY HE
00:10:31.66\00:10:36.93
MAKES THE NEW
COVENANT? 'I WILL MAKE A NEW
00:10:36.93\00:10:40.04
COVENANT AFTER THOSE
DAYS, WITH THE GENTILES'?
00:10:40.04\00:10:42.77
NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS.
00:10:42.77\00:10:44.67
'I WILL MAKE A NEW
COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF
00:10:44.67\00:10:46.37
ISRAEL AND THE PEOPLE
OF JUDAH.' SO IN ORDER FOR
00:10:46.37\00:10:52.31
YOU TO BE ABLE TO BE A
RECIPIENT AND BENEFIT FROM
00:10:52.31\00:10:56.18
THE NEW COVENANT, YOU
MUST BE A SPIRITUAL JEW - AND
00:10:56.18\00:11:00.82
WE'LL GET TO
THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.62
BUT ANYWAY, THERE'S A
NUMBER OF COVENANTS THAT
00:11:02.62\00:11:04.96
ARE GIVEN IN THE
BIBLE. AND WHAT IS A COVENANT?
00:11:04.96\00:11:08.00
I SHOULD MAYBE SAY
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:11:08.00\00:11:09.53
COVENANTS - A
COVENANT IS AN AGREEMENT.
00:11:09.53\00:11:12.87
A COVENANT IS MORE
OF A FORMAL AGREEMENT.
00:11:12.87\00:11:16.71
IF YOU SAY, 'YEAH, COME
ON OVER FOR LUNCH AT 12:30'
00:11:16.71\00:11:19.07
AND I SAY, 'OKAY.'
YOU CAN SAY, 'YOU MADE A
00:11:19.07\00:11:21.11
COVENANT.' WELL,
THAT'S A LITTLE OVER THE TOP.
00:11:21.11\00:11:24.15
THAT'S JUST AN
AGREEMENT. BUT A COVENANT IS A
00:11:24.15\00:11:25.81
LITTLE MORE OF A
FORMAL AGREEMENT.
00:11:25.81\00:11:27.38
IF YOU SAY, 'I'M
SELLING MY HOUSE.' AND I SAY,
00:11:27.38\00:11:30.92
'OKAY, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?'
00:11:30.92\00:11:32.22
AND YOU SAY, 'I WANT
$200,000.00.' AND I SAY,
00:11:32.22\00:11:35.56
'OKAY, THAT SOUNDS GOOD
TO ME.' THEN YOU SAY, 'OKAY,
00:11:35.56\00:11:39.09
LET'S WRITE IT UP.'
AND YOU WRITE IT UP AND YOU
00:11:39.09\00:11:42.50
USUALLY HAVE TWO
COPIES, DON'T YOU?
00:11:42.50\00:11:44.57
YOU'VE GOT ONE FOR YOU AND ONE
FOR ME SO WE BOTH HAVE A COPY.
00:11:44.57\00:11:48.44
PERIODICALLY I WILL DO
AN ARTICLE FOR A MAGAZINE OR
00:11:48.44\00:11:52.07
A BOOK AND THE PUBLISHER
WILL SEND ME - ONCE THEY
00:11:52.07\00:11:54.11
AGREE THEY SAY, 'LOOK,
WE'LL PAY YOU THIS MUCH.'
00:11:54.11\00:11:55.98
I SAY, 'OKAY.' WE GET A
VERBAL AGREEMENT AND THEY
00:11:55.98\00:11:58.48
SAY, 'ALRIGHT, WE'LL SEND
YOU A CONTRACT.' THEY SEND
00:11:58.48\00:12:00.38
ME A CONTRACT AND THEY
SAY, 'HERE'S TWO COPIES.
00:12:00.38\00:12:02.18
SIGN THEM BOTH. KEEP
ONE FOR YOUR RECORDS.
00:12:02.18\00:12:04.79
SEND ONE BACK TO
US.' THAT'S A COVENANT.
00:12:04.79\00:12:07.26
THAT'S A PUBLISHING AGREEMENT.
00:12:07.26\00:12:09.16
THEY HAVE THEM WHEN YOU
BUY HOUSES - WHEN YOU BUY
00:12:09.16\00:12:10.53
CARS. SOMETIMES I'LL SELL A USED
00:12:10.53\00:12:12.29
CAR AND I SAY,
'LOOK IT'S A USED CAR.
00:12:12.29\00:12:14.76
IT'S NOT COMING WITH A WARRANTY.
HERE'S HOW MUCH WE WANT.
00:12:14.76\00:12:16.80
HERE'S HOW MANY MILES
ARE ON IT.' I SAY, 'WE'RE
00:12:16.80\00:12:19.20
SELLING IT 'AS
IS' - I'LL SIGN IT.
00:12:19.20\00:12:20.84
YOU SIGN IT. YOU KEEP
A COPY. I KEEP A COPY.'
00:12:20.84\00:12:23.07
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
HAVE THOSE KIND OF COVENANTS.
00:12:23.07\00:12:26.41
WELL THERE'S A
COVENANT - THERE'S AN AGREEMENT
00:12:26.41\00:12:29.74
THAT'S MADE THAT IS SEALED IN
BLOOD. THAT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS
00:12:29.74\00:12:34.62
AGREEMENT THAT
GOD MAKES WITH US.
00:12:34.62\00:12:38.35
AND YOU NOTICE WHEN GOD
GAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:12:38.35\00:12:41.79
FIRST HE SPOKE THEM -
FIRST VERBALLY, GOD SAID,
00:12:41.79\00:12:46.29
'HERE'S THE DEAL:' -
HE SPOKE IT - THE PEOPLE
00:12:46.29\00:12:49.20
HEARD IT. THEY
SAID, 'SOUNDS GOOD.
00:12:49.20\00:12:50.90
ALL THE LORD HAS SAID WE
WILL DO.' GOD SAID, 'OKAY,
00:12:50.90\00:12:53.74
I'M SENDING MOSES UP
THE MOUNTAIN TO GET THE
00:12:53.74\00:12:56.27
WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT
OF THE VERBAL AGREEMENT.
00:12:56.27\00:12:59.44
YOU SEE, THAT'S HOW
A COVENANT WORKS - AND
00:12:59.44\00:13:01.71
THAT'S WHEN HE
WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN.
00:13:01.71\00:13:03.48
WELL, WHILE HE WAS
GETTING THE WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT,
00:13:03.48\00:13:05.35
THEY GOT INTO A LOT OF
TROUBLE AND THEY FORGOT,
00:13:05.35\00:13:08.38
BASICALLY, ALL OF IT.
00:13:08.38\00:13:09.38
SO THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF COVENANTS THAT YOU WILL
00:13:09.38\00:13:12.02
FIND IN THE BIBLE AND
THE COVENANT OF SALVATION IS,
00:13:12.02\00:13:18.79
OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT.
00:13:18.79\00:13:20.10
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT COVENANT WE'RE SAVED BY.
00:13:20.10\00:13:23.57
IT IS A MISTAKE TO THINK
THAT PEOPLE WERE SAVED IN
00:13:23.57\00:13:27.57
THE OLD TESTAMENT BY
THE OLD COVENANT AND WE ARE
00:13:27.57\00:13:31.74
SAVED IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT BY THE NEW COVENANT.
00:13:31.74\00:13:34.84
NOBODY IS SAVED
UNDER A COVENANT OF WORKS.
00:13:34.84\00:13:39.41
AND SOME ARE SAVED BY THE
COVENANT OF FAITH OR GRACE.
00:13:39.41\00:13:43.25
YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD THAT BEFORE.
00:13:43.25\00:13:44.92
THERE'S THIS OLD
DISPENSATION THAT GOD
00:13:44.92\00:13:46.52
SAVED JEWS BY THE COVENANT
OF WORKS AND NOW HE SAVES
00:13:46.52\00:13:51.06
THE GENTILES BY
THE COVENANT OF GRACE.
00:13:51.06\00:13:53.60
'WE'RE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT.'
00:13:53.60\00:13:54.73
IS ANYBODY SAVED BY WORKS?
WAS ABRAHAM SAVED BY WORKS?
00:13:54.73\00:14:01.60
OR DOES THE BIBLE SAY
'ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND
00:14:01.60\00:14:04.77
GOD COUNTED IT UNTO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS'?
00:14:04.77\00:14:07.21
SO WAS ABRAHAM SAVED BY
WORKS OR BY FAITH? BELIEF?
00:14:07.21\00:14:10.28
EVERYBODY IS SAVED BY FAITH.
00:14:10.28\00:14:12.95
NOW THE COVENANTS
WENT THROUGH SOME DIFFERENT
00:14:12.95\00:14:15.82
ITERATIONS, AND WE'LL
TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT - A LOT OF
00:14:15.82\00:14:19.72
MISCONCEPTIONS
ABOUT THE COVENANT.
00:14:19.72\00:14:21.56
GOD DOES NOT MAKE
THIS SAVING COVENANT WITH
00:14:21.56\00:14:23.73
THE GENTILES AND A
DIFFERENT COVENANT WITH
00:14:23.73\00:14:26.23
THE JEWS. THE
GENTILES ARE GRAFTED
00:14:26.23\00:14:29.30
INTO THE COVENANT OF THE JEWS.
00:14:29.30\00:14:33.00
THAT'S WHAT PAUL
SAID IN ROMANS CHAPTER 10.
00:14:33.00\00:14:35.40
ALRIGHT, YOU'VE GOT
FIRST THE EDENIC COVENANT - THE
00:14:35.40\00:14:37.97
COVENANT GOD MADE WITH ADAM.
00:14:37.97\00:14:39.41
YOU'LL FIND THAT - IF YOU
LOOK IN GENESIS CHAPTER 3,
00:14:39.41\00:14:42.18
VERSE 15, "AND I WILL
PUT ENMITY" - GOD SAYS -
00:14:42.18\00:14:46.72
"BETWEEN YOU AND THE
WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR
00:14:46.72\00:14:49.15
SEED AND HER SEED; HE
SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD,
00:14:49.15\00:14:52.72
AND YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL."
00:14:52.72\00:14:54.36
GOD MAKES A COVENANT TO SAVE.
00:14:54.36\00:14:56.36
IT'S MADE BASED
ON THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:14:56.36\00:14:58.29
IT'S MADE ON THE PROMISES
OF GOD AND YOU FIND THIS
00:14:58.29\00:15:01.30
BATTLE BETWEEN GOD -
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - AND
00:15:01.30\00:15:07.70
THE SERPENT AND THE
WOMAN. THERE'S THESE THREE
00:15:07.70\00:15:10.84
CHARACTERS INVOLVED
IN THE PLAN OF SALVATION:
00:15:10.84\00:15:13.64
YOU HAVE GOD.
YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL.
00:15:13.64\00:15:17.85
AND YOU'VE GOT THE
CHURCH. DO YOU FIND THOSE SAME
00:15:17.85\00:15:20.72
THREE CHARACTERS
IN REVELATION 12?
00:15:20.72\00:15:23.12
THE DRAGON WAS WROTH WITH
THE WOMAN AND WENT TO MAKE
00:15:23.12\00:15:25.99
WAR WITH THE
REMNANT OF HER SEED.
00:15:25.99\00:15:28.49
AND GOD - SHE KEEPS
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND
00:15:28.49\00:15:31.63
HAS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
00:15:31.63\00:15:33.23
AND SO YOU'VE GOT THE
SAME THREE CHARACTERS THAT ARE
00:15:33.23\00:15:35.03
IN THIS PRINCIPLE
BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:15:35.03\00:15:38.07
SO GOD SAYS, 'LOOK, THE
PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH,
00:15:38.07\00:15:41.17
BUT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
MERCY.' HE COVERS ADAM AND
00:15:41.17\00:15:44.54
EVE'S NAKEDNESS WITH A
ROBE - WHAT KIND OF ROBE?
00:15:44.54\00:15:48.28
SKIN. HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?
SOMETHING WAS SACRIFICED.
00:15:48.28\00:15:52.25
SO GOD ESTABLISHES
THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM.
00:15:52.25\00:15:54.58
THAT'S WHY, IN REVELATION,
YOU READ ABOUT THE LAMB
00:15:54.58\00:15:57.19
THAT WAS SLAIN FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD -
00:15:57.19\00:15:59.62
SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WAS
ESTABLISHED WAY BACK THEN
00:15:59.62\00:16:03.19
THAT THEY WOULD BE SAVED
BY GRACE BECAUSE GOD WOULD
00:16:03.19\00:16:05.83
SEND HIS OWN SON. THE
LAMBS THAT WERE SACRIFICED
00:16:05.83\00:16:09.50
WERE ALWAYS A SYMBOL OF
THAT. WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?
00:16:09.50\00:16:15.17
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:16:15.17\00:16:16.17
THAT'S NOT IN THE
BIBLE BUT IT'S A GOOD SONG.
00:16:16.17\00:16:18.27
BUT IT DOES SAY IN
THE BIBLE 'CALVES AND RAMS
00:16:18.27\00:16:23.98
THOU DOES NOT DESIRE.
A BODY I HAVE PREPARED.'
00:16:23.98\00:16:27.85
TALKING ABOUT THE
SACRIFICE OF HIS SON.
00:16:27.85\00:16:29.95
SO THAT WAS ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.
00:16:29.95\00:16:31.95
NOW THERE ARE OTHER
COVENANTS IN THE BIBLE.
00:16:31.95\00:16:34.06
LET'S GO TO GENESIS
CHAPTER 12 AND TALK ABOUT
00:16:34.06\00:16:36.26
THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:16:36.26\00:16:40.46
IMPORTANT COVENANTS
THAT GOD MADE IN THE BIBLE.
00:16:40.46\00:16:42.70
GENESIS 12:1 TO 3 - IN
A FEW MOMENTS SOMEONE IS
00:16:42.70\00:16:46.30
GOING TO READ FOR ME
MATTHEW 3:9 - GENESIS
00:16:46.30\00:16:49.77
12:1, "NOW THE LORD HAD
SAID TO ABRAM: 'GET OUT OF
00:16:49.77\00:16:53.34
YOUR COUNTRY," - THIS IS
BEFORE HE GOT HIS NEW NAME
00:16:53.34\00:16:55.91
- "GET OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY
FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FROM
00:16:55.91\00:16:58.35
YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE, TO A
LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.
00:16:58.35\00:17:01.42
I WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT
NATION; I WILL BLESS YOU
00:17:01.42\00:17:05.09
AND MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT;
AND YOU SHALL BE A BLESSING.
00:17:05.09\00:17:08.12
I WILL BLESS THOSE
WHO BLESS YOU, AND I WILL
00:17:08.12\00:17:10.16
CURSE HIM WHO CURSES
YOU; AND IN YOU ALL THE
00:17:10.16\00:17:14.00
FAMILIES OF THE
EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED."
00:17:14.00\00:17:16.33
NOW HOW DID ABRAHAM
UNDERSTAND THAT COVENANT?
00:17:16.33\00:17:19.17
WHAT DID HE MEAN 'IN
YOU' ALL THE NATIONS OF THE
00:17:19.17\00:17:22.14
WORLD WOULD BE BLESSED?
00:17:22.14\00:17:23.64
WHAT WAS THE WORLD LOOKING FOR?
00:17:23.64\00:17:25.84
A SAVIOR - MESSIAH - WHAT TRIBE?
00:17:25.84\00:17:29.41
WHO WOULD HE COME THROUGH?
00:17:29.41\00:17:30.98
WELL, THEY WERE ALL
RELATED TO NOAH BACK THEN,
00:17:30.98\00:17:33.58
BUT NOW GOD
SINGLES OUT A REMNANT.
00:17:33.58\00:17:36.48
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT GOD
OFTEN SAVES A REMNANT AND
00:17:36.48\00:17:39.29
HE TRANSFERS THOSE
PROMISES - THAT REMNANT
00:17:39.29\00:17:43.56
BECOMES A CONDUIT FOR
THE PROMISES THAT GOD GIVES.
00:17:43.56\00:17:49.03
AND SO GOD WAS SAYING
THAT THE PROMISE OF THIS
00:17:49.03\00:17:51.03
COVENANT NOW WAS GOING TO
COME THROUGH ABRAHAM - THE
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.87
MESSIAH WOULD
COME THROUGH HIS SEED.
00:17:53.87\00:17:55.84
AND YOU CAN TRACE THROUGH
THE BIBLE, HE CONTINUES TO
00:17:55.84\00:17:58.34
NARROW THE FOCUS -
THE TARGET - OF WHO THE
00:17:58.34\00:18:01.84
MESSIAH WOULD COME THROUGH.
00:18:01.84\00:18:03.08
WE SAY IT'S GOING TO
COME THROUGH ABRAHAM, BUT THEN
00:18:03.08\00:18:05.81
ABRAHAM HAD
SEVERAL SONS - WHICH ONE?
00:18:05.81\00:18:07.62
THEN THROUGH ISAAC -
ISAAC HAD JACOB AND ESAU - WHICH
00:18:07.62\00:18:11.05
ONE? BUT THEN THROUGH
JACOB - JACOB HAD TWELVE SONS,
00:18:11.05\00:18:13.72
WHICH ONE? THEN
THROUGH JUDAH - JUDAH
00:18:13.72\00:18:16.02
HAD MANY SONS - WHICH
ONE? THEN THROUGH DAVID.
00:18:16.02\00:18:18.43
SEE HOW HE CONTINUES TO
SAY THE FOCUS - THE BRANCH
00:18:18.43\00:18:22.16
- THAT'S WHY IT SAYS
THAT DAVID COMES FROM THE
00:18:22.16\00:18:25.40
BRANCH OF JESSE - IT'S A
TREE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY
00:18:25.40\00:18:29.00
BACK TO NOAH AND ADAM AND
YOU CAN FOLLOW THAT FAMILY
00:18:29.00\00:18:32.14
TREE AND IN THAT
FAMILY TREE THE MESSIAH WOULD
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.88
COME AS A MAN. THEY
WERE ALL WONDERING, 'WHERE?'
00:18:35.88\00:18:38.71
THEY WERE LOOKING
AROUND AT THE BRANCHES AND THE
00:18:38.71\00:18:40.32
LEAVES AND THE TWIGS -
WHERE IS HE GOING TO BE?
00:18:40.32\00:18:42.75
SO GOD IDENTIFIED THAT
THROUGH THESE COVENANTS
00:18:42.75\00:18:44.89
AND THROUGH
PROMISE. ANOTHER COVENANT TO
00:18:44.89\00:18:47.96
ABRAHAM - HE REPEATS
THE COVENANT TO ABRAHAM
00:18:47.96\00:18:49.76
ABOUT THREE TIMES.
YOU GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER
00:18:49.76\00:18:52.46
15 AND YOU CAN READ,
BEGINNING WITH VERSE 1,
00:18:52.46\00:18:56.03
"AFTER THESE THINGS THE
WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO
00:18:56.03\00:18:59.90
ABRAM IN A VISION, SAYING,
'DO NOT BE AFRAID, ABRAM.
00:18:59.90\00:19:03.27
I AM YOUR SHIELD, YOUR
EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD.'
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.37
BUT ABRAM SAID, 'LORD
GOD, WHAT WILL YOU GIVE ME,
00:19:06.37\00:19:09.84
SEEING I GO CHILDLESS,
AND THE HEIR OF MY HOUSE IS
00:19:09.84\00:19:12.11
ELIEZER OF DAMASCUS?'
THEN ABRAM SAID, 'LOOK,
00:19:12.11\00:19:15.88
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME NO
OFFSPRING; INDEED ONE BORN
00:19:15.88\00:19:18.59
IN MY HOUSE IS MY
HEIR!'" - MEANING HIS CHIEF
00:19:18.59\00:19:21.06
STEWARD, ELIEZER, WHO
WAS A GOOD GUY, BY THE WAY.
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.43
HE'S THE ONE THAT
FOUND THE WIFE FOR ISAAC.
00:19:23.43\00:19:26.59
"AND BEHOLD, THE WORD
OF THE LORD CAME TO HIM,
00:19:26.59\00:19:28.46
SAYING, 'THIS ONE SHALL
NOT BE YOUR HEIR, BUT ONE
00:19:28.46\00:19:31.77
WHO WILL COME FROM
YOUR OWN BODY SHALL BE YOUR
00:19:31.77\00:19:33.77
HEIR.' THEN HE BROUGHT
HIM OUTSIDE AND SAID, 'LOOK
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.60
NOW TOWARD HEAVEN, AND
COUNT THE STARS IF YOU ARE
00:19:36.60\00:19:39.97
ABLE TO NUMBER THEM.'
AND HE SAID TO HIM, 'SO SHALL
00:19:39.97\00:19:41.94
YOUR DESCENDANTS BE.'"
AND IT SAYS - YOU JUMP DOWN TO
00:19:41.94\00:19:45.48
VERSE 6 - "AND HE BELIEVED
IN THE LORD, AND HE (GOD)
00:19:45.48\00:19:49.32
ACCOUNTED IT TO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
00:19:49.32\00:19:53.05
BECAUSE HE
BELIEVED THE PROMISE OF GOD,
00:19:53.05\00:19:55.29
GOD LOOKED UPON
HIM AS RIGHTEOUS.
00:19:55.29\00:19:57.36
YOU'VE HEARD OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH?
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.46
THIS IS EXHIBIT A OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
00:19:59.46\00:20:02.56
HE BELIEVED THE PROMISE
OF GOD THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD
00:20:02.56\00:20:07.00
BE BORN THROUGH HIM AND
HE WAS DECLARED RIGHTEOUS.
00:20:07.00\00:20:10.84
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING
INTO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
00:20:10.84\00:20:13.01
AND THERE'S THAT SONG
LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
00:20:13.01\00:20:16.44
THAT HAS THAT VERSE,
'BE BORN IN US TODAY.' A
00:20:16.44\00:20:20.92
MIRACLE BIRTH TOOK
PLACE WHEN JESUS CAME IN THAT
00:20:20.92\00:20:24.52
THE HOLY SPIRIT CONCEIVED
CHRIST WITHIN MARY IN A
00:20:24.52\00:20:28.56
MIRACULOUS WAY AND
WHEN THE ANGEL PROMISED THIS
00:20:28.56\00:20:32.63
WOULD HAPPEN, SHE
BELIEVED WHAT THE ANGEL SAID
00:20:32.63\00:20:35.60
AND A CONCEPTION TOOK PLACE.
00:20:35.60\00:20:38.57
DOES GOD PROMISE THAT
CHRIST CAN BE BORN IN US?
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.60
DO YOU BELIEVE - THAT
YOU CAN BE BORN AGAIN?
00:20:41.60\00:20:45.81
AND THAT CHRIST CAN
LIVE OUT HIS LIFE IN YOU?
00:20:45.81\00:20:47.91
BE IT UNTO YOU
ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH.
00:20:47.91\00:20:49.94
IF YOU BELIEVE IT, GOD
WILL COUNT IT UNTO YOU FOR
00:20:49.94\00:20:52.21
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU
BEGIN TO LIVE A NEW LIFE.
00:20:52.21\00:20:55.65
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU
NEED TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT'S
00:20:55.65\00:20:58.05
CONNECTED WITH THE
NEW COVENANT - BELIEVING A
00:20:58.05\00:21:00.19
MIRACLE THAT YOU CAN'T
EXPLAIN TAKES PLACE - ANY
00:21:00.19\00:21:03.12
MORE THAN YOU CAN
EXPLAIN THE VIRGIN BIRTH.
00:21:03.12\00:21:05.59
YOU START TALKING TO
PAGANS ABOUT THE VIRGIN
00:21:05.59\00:21:06.96
BIRTH AND THEY SCOFF.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO
00:21:06.96\00:21:11.20
READ MATTHEW - MATTHEW
3:9. >>"AND DO NOT THINK TO SAY
00:21:11.20\00:21:15.87
TO YOURSELVES, 'WE
HAVE ABRAHAM AS OUR FATHER.'
00:21:15.87\00:21:19.07
FOR I SAY TO YOU THAT
GOD IS ABLE TO RAISE UP
00:21:19.07\00:21:21.51
CHILDREN TO
ABRAHAM FROM THESE STONES."
00:21:21.51\00:21:24.38
NOW BECAUSE GOD MADE
A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM,
00:21:24.38\00:21:27.98
YOU'LL FIND THAT THROUGH
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS AND
00:21:27.98\00:21:30.79
THE APOSTLES, JOHN THE
BAPTIST - THAT MANY OF THE
00:21:30.79\00:21:34.49
DESCENDANTS OF
ABRAHAM THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE
00:21:34.49\00:21:36.79
SAVED BY VIRTUE OF
BEING BLOOD RELATIVES OF
00:21:36.79\00:21:40.66
ABRAHAM. WAS
THERE SOME ADVANTAGE
00:21:40.66\00:21:44.70
TO BEING PHYSICALLY JEWISH?
00:21:44.70\00:21:48.70
YES, IF YOU WERE PART OF
THE JEWISH NATION, GOD HAD
00:21:48.70\00:21:54.11
COMMITTED TO THE
JEWS THE ORACLES OF TRUTH.
00:21:54.11\00:21:58.18
THEY WERE TO BE THE
GUARDIANS OF THE WORD.
00:21:58.18\00:22:01.78
DID GOD GUARANTEE THAT
IF YOU HAD JEWISH DNA HE
00:22:01.78\00:22:04.75
WOULD SAVE YOU? NO,
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE.
00:22:04.75\00:22:08.92
MATTER OF FACT, YOU WILL
FIND THAT WITH MOST OF THE
00:22:08.92\00:22:13.23
DESCENDANTS OF ADAM
AND NOAH AND ABRAHAM AND
00:22:13.23\00:22:17.20
DAVID, THEY SEEMED TO
BE IN A LOST CONDITION.
00:22:17.20\00:22:22.17
THE BENEFIT WAS IN
HAVING THE COVENANT OF FAITH.
00:22:22.17\00:22:26.14
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID, AND
00:22:26.14\00:22:28.64
WE JUST READ THIS, 'DO
NOT THINK TO SAY WITHIN
00:22:28.64\00:22:30.58
YOURSELVES, WE HAVE
ABRAHAM AS OUR FATHER AND
00:22:30.58\00:22:34.08
SO GOD'S GOING TO SAVE US.'
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.85
WHOEVER IS CHRIST'S,
HE IS ABRAHAM'S SEED.
00:22:35.85\00:22:41.09
SO WHEN GOD SAID,
'ABRAHAM, LOOK AT THE SKY,
00:22:41.09\00:22:42.89
LOOK AT THE SAND -
COUNT THE STARS, COUNT THE
00:22:42.89\00:22:44.96
GRAINS OF SAND - SO
SHALL YOUR SEED BE.' AND THE
00:22:44.96\00:22:48.56
IMPLICATION THAT YOUR
DESCENDANTS WOULD BE SAVED
00:22:48.56\00:22:50.70
- IT'S TALKING ABOUT
THOSE WHO ARE CHILDREN OF
00:22:50.70\00:22:53.07
ABRAHAM BY FAITH. JESUS SAID
- HE WAS TALKING - HAVING AN
00:22:53.07\00:22:58.11
ARGUMENT WITH SOME OF
THE PHARISEES AND THEY SAID,
00:22:58.11\00:23:01.71
'WE'RE ABRAHAM'S SEED.'
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE NOT CHILDREN
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.65
OF ABRAHAM.' 'WHAT?!
LET'S GO GET A DNA TEST.
00:23:03.65\00:23:06.61
OF COURSE WE'RE CHILDREN
OF ABRAHAM.' AND IF THEY
00:23:06.61\00:23:08.25
HAD TAKEN THE DNA
TEST, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN
00:23:08.25\00:23:09.72
RIGHT, BUT JESUS
WASN'T LOOKING AT THAT.
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.45
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE OF
YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL.' WELL,
00:23:11.45\00:23:15.19
THAT'S NOT VERY
NICE. BUT HE SAID, 'ABRAHAM
00:23:15.19\00:23:18.73
NEVER DID THE
WORKS THAT YOU'RE DOING.
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.70
IF YOU WERE
ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN YOU'D DO THE
00:23:20.70\00:23:22.96
WORKS OF ABRAHAM.
ABRAHAM BELIEVED ME.
00:23:22.96\00:23:25.67
ABRAHAM LONGED TO SEE
MY DAY AND HE SAW IT.'
00:23:25.67\00:23:28.67
AND WHAT DID THEY DO?
00:23:28.67\00:23:29.47
THEY TOOK UP
STONES TO KILL JESUS.
00:23:29.47\00:23:31.81
AND SO WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT BEING SAVED UNDER THE NEW
00:23:31.81\00:23:34.31
COVENANT, EVEN PEOPLE
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT
00:23:34.31\00:23:38.08
WERE SAVED - DAVID WAS
SAVED BY FAITH - DOESN'T -
00:23:38.08\00:23:42.52
READ HEBREWS 11.
WHAT IS HE SAYING
00:23:42.52\00:23:44.52
IN HEBREWS 11?
HEBREWS 11 DOESN'T
00:23:44.52\00:23:46.19
MENTION ANY NEW
TESTAMENT CHARACTERS.
00:23:46.19\00:23:48.26
HEBREWS 11 - WHERE IT
TALKS ABOUT THAT HALL OF
00:23:48.26\00:23:49.86
FAITH - HEROES OF FAITH
- IT TALKS ABOUT GIDEON,
00:23:49.86\00:23:52.66
ABRAHAM, SARAH, BARAK,
SAMSON - HE TALKS ABOUT
00:23:52.66\00:23:57.13
THEM BEING SAVED BY
FAITH. THEY WERE ALL SAVED BY
00:23:57.13\00:24:00.34
FAITH BACK THEN,
RIGHT? WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:24:00.34\00:24:04.14
THEY WERE NOT
SAVED BY BLOOD TYPE.
00:24:04.14\00:24:06.94
GOD IS NO
RESPECTER OF PERSONS, IS HE?
00:24:06.94\00:24:11.15
BUT WHOSOEVER IN ANY
NATION BELIEVES - AND THEN
00:24:11.15\00:24:15.12
PAUL SAYS - BUT IS THERE
SOME ADVANTAGE TO BEING A JEW?
00:24:15.12\00:24:17.42
- HE SAYS, 'YES, IN MANY
WAYS. FIRST OF ALL, BUT BECAUSE
00:24:17.42\00:24:20.66
TO THEM WAS COMMITTED
THE ORACLES OF TRUTH.'
00:24:20.66\00:24:23.22
THEY HAD THE FIRST
OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR IT.
00:24:23.22\00:24:26.56
JESUS SAID TO THE
DISCIPLES, 'DO NOT GO IN
00:24:26.56\00:24:28.33
THE WAY OF THE GENTILES,
GO FIRST TO THE LOST SHEEP
00:24:28.33\00:24:31.47
OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL' - WHEN THEY STARTED
00:24:31.47\00:24:32.67
PREACHING - THEY HAD THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT
00:24:32.67\00:24:35.60
WASN'T BECAUSE OF
THEIR BLOOD OR THEIR GENETICS
00:24:35.60\00:24:38.67
THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:24:38.67\00:24:40.51
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING
THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN
00:24:40.51\00:24:45.21
GENES - CERTAIN RACES
OF PEOPLE THAT GET DISEASES
00:24:45.21\00:24:48.95
THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GET.
00:24:48.95\00:24:51.12
THERE ARE DISEASES
THAT ARE EXCLUSIVE TO
00:24:51.12\00:24:53.89
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
THERE ARE DISEASES THAT
00:24:53.89\00:24:56.86
ARE EXCLUSIVE TO
JEWS. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:24:56.86\00:25:00.56
AND SO, AS WE GET FURTHER
AND FURTHER AWAY FROM ADAM
00:25:00.56\00:25:04.40
AND EVE AND THE TREE
OF LIFE, OUR GENES AREN'T
00:25:04.40\00:25:06.94
ALWAYS A BENEFIT.
AND IF WE MARRY TOO CLOSE
00:25:06.94\00:25:10.27
TO THE FAMILY TREE
IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS,
00:25:10.27\00:25:12.17
AS THEY SAY. SO
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO
00:25:12.17\00:25:15.48
BE A CHILD OF ABRAHAM?
GALATIANS 3:6, "JUST AS
00:25:15.48\00:25:19.68
ABRAHAM 'BELIEVED GOD,
AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM
00:25:19.68\00:25:22.75
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
THEREFORE KNOW THAT ONLY
00:25:22.75\00:25:25.65
THOSE WHO ARE OF
FAITH ARE SONS OF ABRAHAM."
00:25:25.65\00:25:28.99
I'M GOING TO SAY IT
AGAIN AND I WANT YOU TO SAY
00:25:28.99\00:25:30.76
'AMEN' IF IT'S CLEAR.
"THEREFORE" - PAUL SAYS -
00:25:30.76\00:25:33.50
GALATIANS CHAPTER 3,
VERSE 7, "KNOW THAT ONLY THOSE
00:25:33.50\00:25:38.30
WHO ARE OF FAITH
ARE SONS OF ABRAHAM."
00:25:38.30\00:25:41.60
- HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THE REAL SONS - "AND THE
00:25:41.60\00:25:43.10
SCRIPTURE, FORESEEING
THAT GOD WOULD JUSTIFY THE
00:25:43.10\00:25:45.17
GENTILES BY FAITH,
PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO
00:25:45.17\00:25:47.51
ABRAHAM BEFOREHAND,
SAYING, 'IN YOU ALL THE
00:25:47.51\00:25:50.05
NATIONS (OF NOT JUST THE
HEBREWS) IN ABRAHAM ALL THE
00:25:50.05\00:25:53.11
NATIONS OF THE
WORLD WOULD BE BLESSED.'
00:25:53.11\00:25:55.75
MEANING THAT IT
INCLUDED THE GENTILES -
00:25:55.75\00:25:58.02
WERE BLESSED
THROUGH ABRAHAM, RIGHT?
00:25:58.02\00:25:59.79
AND SO - BUT YOU ARE
GRAFTED IN, SPIRITUALLY,
00:25:59.79\00:26:03.32
TO THE STOCK OF ISRAEL
BECAUSE THE NEW COVENANT
00:26:03.32\00:26:05.29
IS ONLY MADE WITH JEWS.
SO YOU BECOME ADOPTED IN
00:26:05.29\00:26:09.00
AND YOU BECOME
CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.
00:26:09.00\00:26:11.57
AND THAT'S WHY WE CAN
READ THE OLD TESTAMENT - YOU
00:26:11.57\00:26:13.70
SEE, ONE REASON IT'S
SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
00:26:13.70\00:26:15.17
THIS - AND I COME FROM
THE PERSPECTIVE OF FIRST
00:26:15.17\00:26:18.04
ATTENDING EVANGELICAL
CHURCHES BEFORE I WAS A
00:26:18.04\00:26:21.51
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN, WHERE SOME
00:26:21.51\00:26:23.78
CHURCHES HAD NO OLD TESTAMENT.
00:26:23.78\00:26:25.58
THEY SAID,
'THAT'S THE OLD COVENANT.
00:26:25.58\00:26:26.88
WE'RE NOW SAVED UNDER
THE NEW COVENANT.' AND IT WAS
00:26:26.88\00:26:29.88
VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, 'WOW,
00:26:29.88\00:26:31.65
YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
THE NEW COVENANT WITHOUT
00:26:31.65\00:26:33.19
THE OLD COVENANT.'
AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN READ
00:26:33.19\00:26:36.02
THEIR OLD TESTAMENTS -
AND ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL
00:26:36.02\00:26:37.96
PROMISES ABOUT THE NEW
COVENANT ARE IN THE OLD
00:26:37.96\00:26:39.83
TESTAMENT. >>AMEN.
00:26:39.83\00:26:41.03
>>YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND
THE PROPHECIES ABOUT JESUS
00:26:41.03\00:26:43.97
WITHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT,
BUT I GET TO CLAIM THE
00:26:43.97\00:26:47.70
PROMISES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
JUST LIKE ANY JEW DOES.
00:26:47.70\00:26:51.91
WELL, I'VE GOT
DOUBLE BENEFIT BECAUSE I
00:26:51.91\00:26:53.24
PHYSICALLY AM HALF JEWISH
BUT, I MEAN, ANY OF YOU DO.
00:26:53.24\00:26:56.61
WE GET TO CLAIM THE
PROMISES MADE TO ABRAHAM
00:26:56.61\00:26:58.95
BECAUSE WE ARE GRAFTED IN
AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE
00:26:58.95\00:27:01.92
PROMISE, RIGHT?
ALRIGHT, I'M TAKING
00:27:01.92\00:27:04.79
TOO MUCH TIME.
THIS IS A GREAT STUDY.
00:27:04.79\00:27:06.65
JOHN 8:39 - AND -
I READ THIS ALREADY.
00:27:06.65\00:27:11.36
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU ARE
ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN YOU DO
00:27:11.36\00:27:13.13
THE WORKS OF ABRAHAM.'
AND THEN GALATIANS 3:29, "AND
00:27:13.13\00:27:16.67
IF YOU ARE CHRIST'S,
THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED,
00:27:16.67\00:27:19.40
AND HEIRS
ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE."
00:27:19.40\00:27:20.97
ALRIGHT, NOW IF YOU LOOK
IN GENESIS 17, YOU'VE GOT
00:27:20.97\00:27:23.57
ANOTHER COVENANT TO
ABRAHAM - 1 AND 2 - "WHEN
00:27:23.57\00:27:26.41
ABRAM WAS
NINETY-NINE YEARS OLD, THE LORD
00:27:26.41\00:27:33.48
APPEARED TO ABRAM AND
SAID TO HIM, 'I AM ALMIGHTY
00:27:33.48\00:27:36.42
GOD; WALK BEFORE
ME AND BE BLAMELESS.
00:27:36.42\00:27:39.25
AND I WILL MAKE MY
COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND
00:27:39.25\00:27:41.76
YOU, AND WILL MULTIPLY
YOU EXCEEDINGLY.'" WHY DID GOD
00:27:41.76\00:27:44.86
REPEAT HIS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM?
00:27:44.86\00:27:48.13
FROM VERSE 12 AND THEN
CHAPTER 15 OF GENESIS AND
00:27:48.13\00:27:51.20
NOW CHAPTER 17?
WAS ABRAHAM HAVING
00:27:51.20\00:27:53.60
PROBLEMS FINDING
THAT PROMISED SEED?
00:27:53.60\00:27:56.40
TOOK - FIRST HE WONDERED
IF, YOU KNOW, IT WAS HIS
00:27:56.40\00:27:59.01
SERVANT, ELIEZER, AND
GOD SAID, 'NO, HE'S GOING TO
00:27:59.01\00:28:02.21
COME THROUGH YOU.'
HE SAID, 'OH, OKAY.' AND
00:28:02.21\00:28:04.21
SARAH BROUGHT A HANDMAID,
HAGAR, AND HE SAID, 'OH, I
00:28:04.21\00:28:07.08
GUESS IT'S GOING TO COME
THROUGH ME AND HAGAR.' GOD
00:28:07.08\00:28:09.88
SAID, 'NO, IT'S GOING TO
COME THROUGH YOU AND YOUR
00:28:09.88\00:28:11.75
WIFE, SARAH.' THAT REALLY
MESSED THINGS UP AND WE'RE
00:28:11.75\00:28:14.59
STILL STRUGGLING WITH
THE FALLOUT FROM ABRAHAM AND
00:28:14.59\00:28:18.13
HAGAR TODAY IN THE
WORLD. AND SO HE'S REMINDING
00:28:18.13\00:28:22.63
HIM AGAIN A THIRD TIME
- NINETY-NINE YEARS OLD -
00:28:22.63\00:28:25.73
IT'S GOING TO
COME THROUGH SARAH.
00:28:25.73\00:28:28.60
AND THEN A YEAR LATER
HE HAD ISAAC WITH SARAH AND
00:28:28.60\00:28:31.71
HE PROMISED THAT.
AND HE GIVES HIM A
00:28:31.71\00:28:33.17
COVENANT - HE GIVES HIM A
COVENANT - A SIGN - YOU'VE
00:28:33.17\00:28:36.34
GOT A PHYSICAL SIGN OF
THE RAINBOW, NOW HE GIVES
00:28:36.34\00:28:38.71
ABRAHAM A PHYSICAL
SIGN OF THE COVENANT.
00:28:38.71\00:28:40.58
WHAT DO WE CALL
THAT? >>CIRCUMCISION.
00:28:40.58\00:28:42.82
>>IT'S CIRCUMCISION.
AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT
00:28:42.82\00:28:44.49
THAT IN, OF COURSE,
THE REST OF CHAPTER 17.
00:28:44.49\00:28:48.19
NOW I DON'T WANT TO SPEND
A LOT OF TIME ON THIS, BUT
00:28:48.19\00:28:49.86
THE BIBLE SAYS A LOT
ABOUT IT AND SO YOU NEED TO
00:28:49.86\00:28:52.03
ADDRESS IT AND BE AS
DELICATE AS YOU CAN, BUT
00:28:52.03\00:28:56.06
GOD WAS PROMISING,
THROUGH THE SEED OF ABRAHAM,
00:28:56.06\00:28:58.80
THE MESSIAH WOULD COME.
00:28:58.80\00:29:00.47
THERE WOULD BE A
CONSECRATION OF THE SEED.
00:29:00.47\00:29:05.71
THERE WAS ALSO GOING TO
- IT WAS GOING TO REPRESENT
00:29:05.71\00:29:07.98
A CUTTING AWAY OF
THE FLESH BECAUSE THE
00:29:07.98\00:29:10.48
DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM
ARE GOING TO BE NOT CONTROLLED
00:29:10.48\00:29:14.05
BY THE FLESH, BUT BY THE SPIRIT.
00:29:14.05\00:29:16.28
THE NEW COVENANT IS
THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE.
00:29:16.28\00:29:19.52
IT IS NOT THE LIFE
BEING CONTROLLED BY THE FLESH.
00:29:19.52\00:29:22.52
AND THERE'S THAT AND
MUCH MORE INVOLVED IN THAT.
00:29:22.52\00:29:25.26
YOU KNOW THAT THE FIRST
TIME JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD
00:29:25.26\00:29:28.86
WAS EIGHT DAYS OLD -
WHEN HE WAS NAMED AND THEY
00:29:28.86\00:29:33.50
BROUGHT HIM TO THE
TEMPLE. HE WAS CIRCUMCISED AND
00:29:33.50\00:29:37.04
THAT'S WHEN HE WAS
NAMED AND SIMON TOOK
00:29:37.04\00:29:39.34
HIM IN HIS ARMS.
JEREMIAH SAYS SOMETHING
00:29:39.34\00:29:42.51
ABOUT CIRCUMCISION
IN THE NEW COVENANT.
00:29:42.51\00:29:44.45
GO TO JEREMIAH 4:4 -
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
00:29:44.45\00:29:46.31
FOR ME, IN A
MOMENT, DEUTERONOMY 36 -
00:29:46.31\00:29:48.55
WHO'S GOT THAT? OKAY.
00:29:48.55\00:29:49.72
JEREMIAH 4:4 - HE SAYS,
"CIRCUMCISE YOURSELVES TO
00:29:49.72\00:29:54.42
THE LORD, AND TAKE
AWAY THE FORESKINS OF YOUR
00:29:54.42\00:29:57.09
HEARTS, YOU MEN OF
JUDAH AND INHABITANTS OF
00:29:57.09\00:29:59.39
JERUSALEM, LEST MY FURY
COME FORTH LIKE FIRE, AND
00:29:59.39\00:30:02.90
BURN SO THAT NO ONE CAN
QUENCH IT," - THERE YOU GO
00:30:02.90\00:30:05.53
AGAIN WITH UNQUENCHABLE
FIRE - "BECAUSE OF THE
00:30:05.53\00:30:08.10
EVIL OF YOUR DOINGS."
SO GOD WAS ASKING FOR WHAT
00:30:08.10\00:30:11.47
KIND OF
CIRCUMCISION? YOUR HEARTS.
00:30:11.47\00:30:14.64
NOW DID JEREMIAH JUST
DREAM UP THAT CONCEPT AND
00:30:14.64\00:30:17.41
METAPHOR BY HIMSELF OR
WAS HE QUOTING THE BIBLE?
00:30:17.41\00:30:21.52
DEUTERONOMY 10:16 -
MOSES SAID - THIS GOES ALL THE
00:30:21.52\00:30:25.49
WAY BACK TO MOSES -
'CIRCUMCISE THE FORESKIN
00:30:25.49\00:30:28.72
OF YOUR HEART, AND BE
STIFF-NECKED NO LONGER."
00:30:28.72\00:30:31.43
SO EVEN MOSES
UNDERSTOOD THE HEART IS WHAT THE
00:30:31.43\00:30:35.06
COVENANT IS ALL ABOUT.
00:30:35.06\00:30:36.50
READ FOR ME, PLEASE,
DEUTERONOMY 30, VERSE 6.
00:30:36.50\00:30:40.60
>>"AND THE LORD YOUR GOD
WILL CIRCUMCISE YOUR HEART
00:30:40.60\00:30:43.71
AND THE HEART OF YOUR
DESCENDANTS, TO LOVE THE
00:30:43.71\00:30:46.41
LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL
YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL
00:30:46.41\00:30:48.78
YOUR SOUL, THAT YOU MAY LIVE."
00:30:48.78\00:30:51.28
>>YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS
THINK OF MOSES AND THE TEN
00:30:51.28\00:30:53.31
COMMANDMENTS AND WHAT IS
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT THAT
00:30:53.31\00:30:57.19
MOSES CONTINUED TO EMPHASIZE?
00:30:57.19\00:31:00.36
'I COMMAND YOU THIS
DAY THAT THOU SHALT" - WE
00:31:00.36\00:31:03.86
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT
'SHALT NOT' - THOSE ARE THE
00:31:03.86\00:31:06.66
NEGATIVE COMMANDS,
BUT THERE IS A POSITIVE
00:31:06.66\00:31:08.50
COMMAND - 'THOU SHALT
LOVE' - NOW HOW MANY OF
00:31:08.50\00:31:12.67
YOU LIKE BEING ORDERED AROUND?
00:31:12.67\00:31:15.37
SOME OF YOU ARE VERY
COMPLIANT YOU'RE, YOU
00:31:15.37\00:31:16.97
KNOW, A LITTLE
INSECURE AND YOU LIKE SOMEONE -
00:31:16.97\00:31:18.61
'JUST TELL ME WHAT TO
DO.' BUT MOST OF US, WE KIND OF
00:31:18.61\00:31:21.88
LIKE THE FREEDOM -
IT'S INTERESTING SOMETIMES,
00:31:21.88\00:31:27.38
YOUNG PEOPLE, THEY RUN
AWAY FROM HOME TO GET AWAY
00:31:27.38\00:31:30.32
FROM MOM AND DAD AND
THEY JOIN THE MILITARY
00:31:30.32\00:31:32.12
(LAUGHTER) BECAUSE THEY
WANT TO BE ON THEIR OWN.
00:31:32.12\00:31:35.72
(LAUGHTER) AND THEY
THINK THAT MOM AND DAD WERE
00:31:35.72\00:31:40.66
AUTHORITARIAN AND THEN
THEY END UP IN MARINE BOOT CAMP.
00:31:40.66\00:31:45.17
YOU DON'T GET TO
DECIDE ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF -
00:31:45.17\00:31:48.27
NOT UNTIL YOU'RE
WITH THEM FOR AWHILE.
00:31:48.27\00:31:50.27
BUT NOBODY LIKES TO
BE ORDERED AROUND AND
00:31:50.27\00:31:53.71
ESPECIALLY, HOW DO YOU
LIKE IT WHEN SOMEONE SAYS,
00:31:53.71\00:31:55.88
'LOVE ME.' 'YOU BETTER
LOVE ME.' 'IF YOU DON'T
00:31:55.88\00:31:59.15
LOVE ME, I'M GOING TO
BURN YOU.' AND, YOU KNOW, IT
00:31:59.15\00:32:03.42
DOESN'T - PEOPLE
DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:32:03.42\00:32:05.62
BUT GOD, WHEN HE COMMANDS
US TO LOVE HIM, WHY IS HE
00:32:05.62\00:32:09.49
COMMANDING US TO LOVE
HIM? BECAUSE HE'S BASICALLY
00:32:09.49\00:32:12.73
SAYING, 'I MADE YOU SO
YOU WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED OR
00:32:12.73\00:32:17.03
FULFILLED UNLESS YOU LOVE
ME. I'LL SHOW YOU WHO I AM SO
00:32:17.03\00:32:21.97
THAT YOU SEE I'M
LOVEABLE, BUT IF YOU LOVE OTHER
00:32:21.97\00:32:25.01
THINGS - IF YOU WORSHIP
OTHER THINGS BESIDES ME,
00:32:25.01\00:32:27.64
YOU'RE NEVER
GOING TO BE SATISFIED.
00:32:27.64\00:32:29.14
YOU WILL BE
ADDICTED TO OTHER THINGS.
00:32:29.14\00:32:31.71
THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE
REAL FULFILLMENT IS TO LOVE ME
00:32:31.71\00:32:34.58
AND TO LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR.' EVEN IN THE TEN
00:32:34.58\00:32:37.35
COMMANDMENTS, ARE WE
COMMANDED, IN THE TEN
00:32:37.35\00:32:38.92
COMMANDMENTS, TO LOVE THE LORD?
00:32:38.92\00:32:41.66
IS ONE OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS TO LOVE GOD?
00:32:41.66\00:32:45.09
YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS
IN THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT
00:32:45.09\00:32:47.03
IDOLATRY? READ IT ALL.
00:32:47.03\00:32:49.30
IT SAYS, 'SHOWING
MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM
00:32:49.30\00:32:54.10
THAT LOVE ME AND KEEP
MY COMMANDMENTS.' SO WHAT'S
00:32:54.10\00:32:58.71
THE KEY FOR KEEPING HIS
COMMANDMENTS? LOVING HIM.
00:32:58.71\00:33:02.14
HE SAYS THAT ALL
THE WAY BACK THEN.
00:33:02.14\00:33:03.45
AND THAT'S THE NEW COVENANT.
00:33:03.45\00:33:05.61
NOW LET ME ALSO READ
FOR YOU ROMANS 2:28, "FOR HE
00:33:05.61\00:33:10.65
IS NOT A JEW WHO IS
ONE OUTWARDLY, NOR IS
00:33:10.65\00:33:13.69
CIRCUMCISION THAT WHICH
IS OUTWARD IN THE FLESH; BUT
00:33:13.69\00:33:16.86
HE IS A JEW THAT IS ONE
INWARDLY; AND CIRCUMCISION
00:33:16.86\00:33:20.10
IS THAT OF THE HEART,
IN THE SPIRIT, NOT IN THE
00:33:20.10\00:33:24.20
LETTER; WHOSE PRAISE IS
NOT FROM MEN" - YOU MIGHT
00:33:24.20\00:33:28.37
SAY, 'OH, THIS PERSON,
YOU KNOW, THEY CIRCUMCISED ME
00:33:28.37\00:33:30.87
PHYSICALLY.' YOU
MIGHT PRAISE THEM - AND PAUL
00:33:30.87\00:33:34.44
SAID THEY WERE GOING
AROUND IN HIS DAY SAYING,
00:33:34.44\00:33:36.21
'OH, I'M OF PAUL.
PAUL BAPTIZED ME.'
00:33:36.21\00:33:37.71
'OH, I'M OF APOLLOS.
APOLLOS BAPTIZED ME.'
00:33:37.71\00:33:39.31
'I'M OF PETER.
PETER BAPTIZED ME.'
00:33:39.31\00:33:40.78
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY
WERE GIVING CREDIT TO MEN.
00:33:40.78\00:33:43.02
BUT WHEN YOU ARE BORN
AGAIN IN THE HEART, WHO
00:33:43.02\00:33:45.95
GETS THAT CREDIT?
NO MAN CAN GIVE YOU A
00:33:45.95\00:33:48.29
NEW BIRTH IN YOUR
HEART. IT IS A WORK
00:33:48.29\00:33:50.93
OF THE SPIRIT. >>AMEN.
00:33:50.93\00:33:52.49
>>YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
READING THIS WEEK - NOT
00:33:52.49\00:33:54.10
REALLY READING, TO
BE HONEST, I'VE BEEN
00:33:54.10\00:33:55.46
LISTENING TO THE TAPE
THIS WEEK IN MY CAR - OF
00:33:55.46\00:33:57.83
PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS
, TALKING ABOUT DAVID AND
00:33:57.83\00:34:00.17
SAUL AND ALL OF THAT.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT WHEN
00:34:00.17\00:34:02.34
SAUL WAS ANOINTED,
THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME ON
00:34:02.34\00:34:05.34
HIM AND A NEW
SPIRIT WAS GIVEN TO HIM.
00:34:05.34\00:34:09.28
AND IT HAPPENED TO DAVID
AND IT HAPPENED WHEN SAUL
00:34:09.28\00:34:12.25
SENT PEOPLE TO ARREST
DAVID LATER, IT SAYS THAT
00:34:12.25\00:34:15.22
THESE MESSENGERS HAD
COME TO SAMUEL TO ARREST DAVID
00:34:15.22\00:34:17.99
- THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD CAME ON THEM.
00:34:17.99\00:34:20.72
OH THEY DIDN'T
PLAN THAT. IT WASN'T IN
00:34:20.72\00:34:21.92
THEIR APPOINTMENT
BOOK. IT'S SOMETHING GOD DID.
00:34:21.92\00:34:24.46
AND AT PENTECOST -
THEY WERE PRAYING TOGETHER -
00:34:24.46\00:34:26.29
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THAT DAY.
00:34:26.29\00:34:28.93
GOD HAS TO DO IT.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO PREPARE
00:34:28.93\00:34:32.77
FOR THE
OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT?
00:34:32.77\00:34:34.77
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO?
00:34:34.77\00:34:36.57
HUMBLE OURSELVES
BEFORE GOD, PUT AWAY OUR
00:34:36.57\00:34:38.84
DIFFERENCES WITH EACH
OTHER, LOVE ONE ANOTHER -
00:34:38.84\00:34:40.84
THAT'S WHAT THE DISCIPLES DID.
00:34:40.84\00:34:42.18
THAT'S WHAT THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL DID BEFORE THE
00:34:42.18\00:34:43.68
RAIN CAME. THEY
HUMBLED THEMSELVES.
00:34:43.68\00:34:45.85
THEY SAID, 'THE LORD,
HE IS GOD.' AND WHEN WE DO
00:34:45.85\00:34:48.25
THESE THINGS, WE ARE
MAKING ROOM IN OUR HEART
00:34:48.25\00:34:51.19
FOR GOD TO FILL
US WITH HIS SPIRIT.
00:34:51.19\00:34:52.79
YOU CAN CHOOSE THE DAY
OF YOUR BAPTISM - WATER
00:34:52.79\00:34:56.02
BAPTISM. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
00:34:56.02\00:34:57.79
SCHEDULE THE DAY OF
YOUR SPIRIT BAPTISM.
00:34:57.79\00:35:01.80
ALL YOU CAN DO IS
SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE
00:35:01.80\00:35:03.53
LORD AND HOPE THAT GOD
WILL DO IT WHEN HE SEES
00:35:03.53\00:35:07.30
BEST - AND YOU NEED
TO HAVE IT - A THOROUGH
00:35:07.30\00:35:10.21
CONVERSION - THAT NEW BIRTH.
00:35:10.21\00:35:12.51
NOW GETTING INTO THE
SPECIFICS OF THE COVENANT
00:35:12.51\00:35:15.64
DIFFERENCE. I
WANT TO READ SOMETHING.
00:35:15.64\00:35:16.98
WHAT IS THE OLD
COVENANT? LET'S BE REAL CLEAR.
00:35:16.98\00:35:20.35
DEUTERONOMY 4, VERSE 12,
"AND THE LORD SPOKE TO YOU
00:35:20.35\00:35:25.59
OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE
FIRE. YOU HEARD THE SOUND OF THE
00:35:25.59\00:35:28.36
WORDS, BUT SAW NO FORM;"
- GOD EMPHASIZES YOU DIDN'T
00:35:28.36\00:35:31.23
SEE A FORM, DON'T MAKE AN IDOL.
00:35:31.23\00:35:33.23
YOU HEARD HIM -
"YOU ONLY HEARD A VOICE.
00:35:33.23\00:35:35.86
SO HE DECLARED TO
YOU HIS COVENANT WHICH HE
00:35:35.86\00:35:38.60
COMMANDED YOU TO PERFORM,
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; AND
00:35:38.60\00:35:41.70
HE WROTE THEM ON
TWO TABLETS OF STONE."
00:35:41.70\00:35:43.97
FRONT AND BACK - NOW
I'VE HEARD SOME ELOQUENT
00:35:43.97\00:35:46.61
ARGUMENTS - REMEMBER
WHAT WE SAID ABOUT COVENANTS -
00:35:46.61\00:35:49.08
THAT THERE'S TWO COPIES?
00:35:49.08\00:35:50.45
AND SOME HAVE SAID, 'WELL,
THE REASON THEY WERE WRITTEN
00:35:50.45\00:35:53.62
ON THE FRONT AND THE
BACK IS BECAUSE THE TEN
00:35:53.62\00:35:55.15
COMMANDMENTS THAT
MOSES BROUGHT DOWN, THERE WAS
00:35:55.15\00:35:57.12
ONE FOR THEM AND ONE
FOR HIM.' I DON'T KNOW.
00:35:57.12\00:36:00.12
IT DOES SAY THERE WERE TWO
STONES WRITTEN ON BOTH SIDES.
00:36:00.12\00:36:03.93
AND IT MAY BE THAT IT
TOOK - ONE STONE HAD THE FIRST
00:36:03.93\00:36:08.43
FOUR AND THE OTHER
STONE HAD THE LAST SIX.
00:36:08.43\00:36:11.60
GOD DOES HAVE A COPY IN HEAVEN.
00:36:11.60\00:36:13.50
HAVE YOU READ REVELATION 11?
00:36:13.50\00:36:14.87
'I SAW THE TEMPLE OF GOD
OPEN IN HEAVEN; I SAW THE
00:36:14.87\00:36:16.47
LAW.' AND THAT'S WHY
JESUS SAID HEAVEN AND EARTH HAVE
00:36:16.47\00:36:19.21
TO PASS AWAY BEFORE ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW FAILS -
00:36:19.21\00:36:21.74
BECAUSE HE'S GOT AN ORIGINAL.
00:36:21.74\00:36:23.61
YOU MIGHT DESTROY YOUR
CONTRACT I'VE MADE WITH
00:36:23.61\00:36:24.81
YOU, BUT I'VE GOT A
COPY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:36:24.81\00:36:28.08
AND GOD SAID, 'I'VE GOT A COPY.
00:36:28.08\00:36:29.32
IT'S NOT CHANGING.
HEAVEN AND EARTH WOULD
00:36:29.32\00:36:30.99
HAVE TO PASS AWAY.'
SO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:36:30.99\00:36:33.15
ARE THE COVENANT.
NOW THIS IS VERY, VERY,
00:36:33.15\00:36:35.89
VERY, VERY,
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
00:36:35.89\00:36:40.20
HE DECLARED TO YOU HIS
COVENANT THAT HE COMMANDED
00:36:40.20\00:36:42.16
YOU TO DO - THIS IS
DEUTERONOMY 4:13 - "...HE
00:36:42.16\00:36:44.80
COMMANDED YOU TO PERFORM,"
- HE WANTS YOU TO DO IT -
00:36:44.80\00:36:47.20
"THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"
- WROTE THEM ON TWO TABLES
00:36:47.20\00:36:49.80
OF STONE - VERSE 14 -
"AND" - THREE-LETTER WORD
00:36:49.80\00:36:52.54
- "AND THE LORD COMMANDED
ME" - MOSES WAS SPEAKING -
00:36:52.54\00:36:56.54
"AT THAT TIME TO TEACH
YOU STATUTES ADD JUDGMENTS,
00:36:56.54\00:36:59.41
THAT YOU MIGHT OBSERVE
THEM IN THE LAND WHICH YOU
00:36:59.41\00:37:01.82
CROSS OVER TO
POSSESS." WAS THERE A DIFFERENCE
00:37:01.82\00:37:04.05
BETWEEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND
THE OTHER STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS
00:37:04.05\00:37:07.19
AND CEREMONIAL LAWS AND
ORDINANCES THAT MOSES WROTE OUT?
00:37:07.19\00:37:10.79
ONE IS WRITTEN ON STONE
- THE SABBATH IS PART OF
00:37:10.79\00:37:14.23
THAT - THE SEVENTH-DAY
SABBATH - TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:37:14.23\00:37:16.60
- THERE WERE CEREMONIAL
SABBATHS THAT WERE WRITTEN
00:37:16.60\00:37:19.43
ON PAPER - TEN
COMMANDMENT SABBATH GOES BACK TO
00:37:19.43\00:37:22.47
CREATION - IT'S IN GENESIS
2 - THE CEREMONIAL SABBATHS
00:37:22.47\00:37:26.57
WERE PART OF THE LAW -
THE PASSOVER, THE EXODUS -
00:37:26.57\00:37:29.74
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET TO
COLOSSIANS - I'M GOING TO JUMP
00:37:29.74\00:37:32.65
THERE RIGHT NOW JUST
BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT.
00:37:32.65\00:37:34.48
WHEN YOU GET TO COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 2 AND HE TALKS
00:37:34.48\00:37:39.59
ABOUT VERSE 13 - "AND
YOU, BEING DEAD IN YOUR
00:37:39.59\00:37:44.29
TRESPASSES AND
UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR
00:37:44.29\00:37:46.83
FLESH, HE HAS MADE ALIVE
TOGETHER WITH HIM, HAVING
00:37:46.83\00:37:50.33
FORGIVEN YOU ALL
TRESPASSES, HAVING WIPED
00:37:50.33\00:37:52.63
OUT" - NOTICE - "THE
HANDWRITING" - THE WHAT
00:37:52.63\00:37:55.80
KIND OF WRITING? >>HANDWRITING.
00:37:55.80\00:37:56.87
>>WRITTEN BY HAND -
SPEAKING OF A MAN'S HAND.
00:37:56.87\00:37:59.77
GOD WROTE WITH HIS
FINGER, NOT HIS WHOLE HAND.
00:37:59.77\00:38:01.61
NOTICE - THERE'S A
DIFFERENCE THERE - NOTICE
00:38:01.61\00:38:03.48
- I'LL PROVE IT - HANG
ON - "HAVING WIPED OUT THE
00:38:03.48\00:38:05.68
HANDWRITING OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS
00:38:05.68\00:38:07.68
AGAINST US." SOME
OF THESE ORDINANCES
00:38:07.68\00:38:10.29
WERE AGAINST US - WHY
DOES HE SAY 'AGAINST US'?
00:38:10.29\00:38:12.95
- "WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO
US. AND HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF
00:38:12.95\00:38:15.89
THE WAY, HAVING
NAILED IT TO THE CROSS."
00:38:15.89\00:38:18.26
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT
THE OLD COVENANT WAS NAILED TO
00:38:18.26\00:38:19.76
THE CROSS? - "HAVING DISARMED
00:38:19.76\00:38:25.73
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS,
HE MADE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE
00:38:25.73\00:38:28.00
OF THEM,
TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT.
00:38:28.00\00:38:30.67
SO LET NO ONE JUDGE
YOU IN FOOD OR IN DRINK, OR
00:38:30.67\00:38:35.24
REGARDING A FESTIVAL OR
A NEW MOON OR SABBATHS," -
00:38:35.24\00:38:37.98
PLURAL - "SABBATHS, WHICH
ARE A SHADOW" - THERE WERE
00:38:37.98\00:38:40.88
SOME SABBATHS WHICH
WERE SHADOWS - "OF THINGS TO
00:38:40.88\00:38:43.15
COME, BUT THE
SUBSTANCE IS OF CHRIST."
00:38:43.15\00:38:44.95
ALRIGHT, FIRST I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE - 2 CHRONICLES -
00:38:44.95\00:38:47.56
YOU - YOU'LL WANT THIS
VERSE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE
00:38:47.56\00:38:49.12
DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT -
2 CHRONICLES 33:8, "AND I
00:38:49.12\00:38:54.20
WILL NOT AGAIN REMOVE
THE FOOT OF ISRAEL FROM THE
00:38:54.20\00:38:56.03
LAND WHICH I HAVE
APPOINTED FOR YOUR FATHERS
00:38:56.03\00:38:58.13
- ONLY IF THEY ARE
CAREFUL TO DO ALL THAT I HAVE
00:38:58.13\00:39:00.57
COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING
TO THE WHOLE LAW AND THE
00:39:00.57\00:39:05.87
STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES
BY THE HAND OF MOSES."
00:39:05.87\00:39:09.58
HANDWRITING - THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE ARK;
00:39:09.58\00:39:12.51
HANDWRITING OF MOSES
ON PAPER - PARCHMENT -
00:39:12.51\00:39:14.85
OUTSIDE THE ARK IN A POCKET.
00:39:14.85\00:39:17.12
THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT LAWS.
00:39:17.12\00:39:19.25
YOU DON'T NAIL
STONE TO ANYTHING.
00:39:19.25\00:39:21.32
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WERE NOT NAILED TO THE CROSS,
00:39:21.32\00:39:23.56
SO THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE OLD COVENANT AND THE
00:39:23.56\00:39:25.56
NEW COVENANT IS NOT
THAT GOD CHANGED THE LAW, THE
00:39:25.56\00:39:29.46
NEW COVENANT IS THE
SAME LAW, BUT HE'S WRITING IT
00:39:29.46\00:39:32.77
IN A NEW PLACE.
00:39:32.77\00:39:34.44
LET ME GIVE YOU
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: DEUTERONOMY
00:39:34.44\00:39:37.01
31:24, "SO IT WAS, WHEN
MOSES HAD COMPLETED WRITING
00:39:37.01\00:39:41.38
THE WORDS OF THIS LAW
IN A BOOK, WHEN THEY WERE
00:39:41.38\00:39:44.35
FINISHED, THAT MOSES
COMMANDED THE LEVITES, WHO
00:39:44.35\00:39:46.08
BORE THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT OF THE LORD,
00:39:46.08\00:39:47.75
SAYING: 'TAKE THIS BOOK
OF THE LAW,'" - IT'S NOT THE
00:39:47.75\00:39:50.09
TABLETS - "'AND PUT
IT BESIDE THE ARK OF THE
00:39:50.09\00:39:53.22
COVENANT'" - WHERE -
THAT'S THE NEW COVENANT -
00:39:53.22\00:39:55.82
THAT'S THE OLD
COVENANT, RATHER - THE TEN
00:39:55.82\00:39:57.19
COMMANDMENTS - "'OF THE
LORD YOUR GOD, THAT IT MAY
00:39:57.19\00:39:59.43
BE THERE AS A
WITNESS AGAINST YOU;'" - YOU
00:39:59.43\00:40:01.63
REMEMBER WHAT HE
SAID IN COLOSSIANS?
00:40:01.63\00:40:03.00
'THE HANDWRITING THAT WAS
AGAINST US.' IT'S THE BOOK
00:40:03.00\00:40:07.57
OF THE LAW - THE
ORDINANCES THAT A WERE
00:40:07.57\00:40:10.84
WITNESS AGAINST US
CURSES EVERYONE THAT DOES NOT DO
00:40:10.84\00:40:13.11
EVERYTHING FOUND IN THE BOOK.
00:40:13.11\00:40:15.51
AND SO THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN
00:40:15.51\00:40:18.65
DONE - YOU KNOW, FRIENDS,
IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
00:40:18.65\00:40:21.32
A DOCTRINE OF DEVILS, ONE
OF THE MOST OBSCENE THINGS
00:40:21.32\00:40:26.89
- ONE OF THE
GREATEST ABOMINATIONS THAT IS
00:40:26.89\00:40:29.02
TAUGHT IN CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES - YOU KNOW, A LOT
00:40:29.02\00:40:31.83
OF US HAVE - DIFFERENT
CHURCHES HAVE SOME, YOU
00:40:31.83\00:40:34.66
KNOW, STRANGE HERESIES.
SOME ARE NOT THAT DANGEROUS.
00:40:34.66\00:40:38.03
THE MOST DANGEROUS,
DEADLY HERESY IS THAT CHRISTIANS
00:40:38.03\00:40:41.04
DO NOT NEED TO KEEP THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE
00:40:41.04\00:40:43.47
THEY WERE NAILED TO THE
CROSS. THAT'S THE DEFINITION -
00:40:43.47\00:40:46.94
SIN IS THE
TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
00:40:46.94\00:40:48.31
THAT IS A TERRIBLE TEACHING.
00:40:48.31\00:40:51.31
THIS STATEMENT, THAT
IS OFTEN TAKEN OUT OF
00:40:51.31\00:40:53.18
CONTEXT, IS CLEARLY
TALKING ABOUT THE JEWISH
00:40:53.18\00:40:56.35
ORDINANCES THAT CHRIST
FULFILLED WHEN THE VEIL
00:40:56.35\00:40:58.89
WAS TORN IN THE TEMPLE -
THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WAS
00:40:58.89\00:41:01.92
DONE AWAY WITH - HE WAS
THE FULFILLMENT OF THAT.
00:41:01.92\00:41:04.43
THOSE THINGS WERE ALL
SHADOWS POINTING FORWARD
00:41:04.43\00:41:06.73
TO CHRIST. THE COVENANT GOD MADE
00:41:06.73\00:41:08.66
WITH ISRAEL IS
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:41:08.66\00:41:10.93
THE NEW COVENANT IS 'I
WILL TAKE THAT LAW AND PUT
00:41:10.93\00:41:14.84
IT IN THEIR HEARTS.' NOW
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK HERE
00:41:14.84\00:41:16.84
AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE
DIFFERENCES ARE - IS - I'M
00:41:16.84\00:41:20.41
NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME
TO GET INTO THIS - HERE, GO
00:41:20.41\00:41:22.78
WITH ME TO HEBREWS 10,
VERSE 15 - WE'RE TALKING
00:41:22.78\00:41:30.39
ABOUT THE COVENANT AT SINAI.
00:41:30.39\00:41:32.69
IT SAYS - WELL, I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT - SOME -
00:41:32.69\00:41:35.72
WHO'S GOT HEBREWS 8:6?
00:41:35.72\00:41:37.16
YOU'RE GOING TO READ
THAT IN A SECOND, ALRIGHT?
00:41:37.16\00:41:38.19
YOU'LL HAVE HEBREWS
8:6 IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:41:38.19\00:41:39.86
LET ME READ EXODUS
24:3, "SO MOSES CAME AND TOLD
00:41:39.86\00:41:43.20
THE PEOPLE ALL THE WORDS
OF THE LORD" - HERE YOU'VE
00:41:43.20\00:41:45.60
GOT THE VERBAL PART OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENT COVENANT -
00:41:45.60\00:41:48.37
"AND ALL THE PEOPLE
ANSWERED WITH ONE VOICE
00:41:48.37\00:41:50.01
AND SAID, 'ALL THE WORDS
WHICH THE LORD HAS SAID WE
00:41:50.01\00:41:53.04
WILL DO.'" WE WILL
DO. WHO WILL DO IT?
00:41:53.04\00:41:55.91
PEOPLE SAID, 'WE WILL DO IT.'
00:41:55.91\00:41:57.38
DID THEY DO IT? NO.
BEFORE HE EVEN GOT DOWN
00:41:57.38\00:42:00.82
THE MOUNTAIN THEY
HAD BROKEN THEM ALL.
00:42:00.82\00:42:02.75
HEBREWS 10:15, "BUT THE
HOLY SPIRIT ALSO WITNESSES
00:42:02.75\00:42:07.22
TO US; FOR AFTER HE HAD
SAID BEFORE, 'THIS IS THE
00:42:07.22\00:42:11.56
COVENANT THAT I WILL
MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE
00:42:11.56\00:42:13.03
DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO
00:42:13.03\00:42:17.20
THEIR HEARTS, AND IN
THEIR MINDS I WILL WRITE THEM,'"
00:42:17.20\00:42:20.97
- THERE I'LL WRITE THEM
- AND HE ADDS, "THEIR SINS
00:42:20.97\00:42:22.90
AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
00:42:22.90\00:42:26.14
SO THE NEW COVENANT
GOD SAYS, 'I WILL.' THE OLD
00:42:26.14\00:42:29.58
COVENANT THE PEOPLE
SAID, 'WE WILL.' THE NEW
00:42:29.58\00:42:32.38
COVENANT IS BASED
UPON BETTER PROMISES.
00:42:32.38\00:42:35.25
WHY ARE THE PROMISES BETTER?
00:42:35.25\00:42:36.42
THE OLD COVENANT WAS THE
PEOPLE SAYING, 'WE WILL DO
00:42:36.42\00:42:38.45
IT.' THAT PROMISE DIDN'T WORK.
00:42:38.45\00:42:40.69
OUR PROMISES ARE NO
GOOD. THE NEW COVENANT IS GOD
00:42:40.69\00:42:42.86
SAYING, 'I WILL DO IT.'
IS THE LAW DIFFERENT IN THE
00:42:42.86\00:42:46.49
OLD COVENANT AND
THE NEW COVENANT? NO.
00:42:46.49\00:42:49.50
WAS THERE ANYTHING WRONG
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:42:49.50\00:42:51.80
THE NEW COVENANT IS 'I
WILL WRITE MY LAW' - HE
00:42:51.80\00:42:54.84
STILL HAS HIS LAW - 'IN
THEIR HEARTS.' THAT'S WHY
00:42:54.84\00:42:57.54
JESUS SAID, 'DO NOT
THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO
00:42:57.54\00:43:00.88
DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
00:43:00.88\00:43:02.51
I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY
BUT FULFILL.' AND HE GOES
00:43:02.51\00:43:05.15
ON TO SAY, 'WHOSOEVER
THEREFORE WILL BREAK ONE
00:43:05.15\00:43:07.62
OF THE LEAST' - THIS IS
MATTHEW 5:19 - "WHOSOEVER
00:43:07.62\00:43:10.45
THEREFORE BREAKS ONE
OF THE LEAST OF THESE
00:43:10.45\00:43:11.92
COMMANDMENTS," -
WHAT COMMANDMENTS?
00:43:11.92\00:43:13.46
HE HAD JUST SAID -
'YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID BY THEM OF
00:43:13.46\00:43:15.32
OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY.' 'YOU SHALL NOT
00:43:15.32\00:43:17.23
KILL.' 'YOU SHALL NOT
BEAR FALSE WITNESS.' - HE'S
00:43:17.23\00:43:19.06
QUOTING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:43:19.06\00:43:20.83
IT SAYS, "WHOSOEVER
THEREFORE WILL BREAK ONE
00:43:20.83\00:43:22.26
OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS, AND TEACHES
00:43:22.26\00:43:24.57
MEN SO, SHALL BE
CALLED LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF
00:43:24.57\00:43:28.10
HEAVEN; BUT WHOEVER DOES
AND TEACHES THEM," - JESUS
00:43:28.10\00:43:31.04
CAME TO MAGNIFY
AND EXALT THE LAW.
00:43:31.04\00:43:33.51
THIS IDEA THAT
IS SPREADING THROUGH
00:43:33.51\00:43:35.54
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IS
LIKELY AS WICKED AS IT
00:43:35.54\00:43:37.28
COULD BE THAT CHRISTIANS
DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE TEN
00:43:37.28\00:43:39.48
COMMANDMENTS. THAT
IS A DOCTRINE - THE
00:43:39.48\00:43:42.05
DEVIL JUST IS SO HAPPY
THAT THEY THINK THAT THE
00:43:42.05\00:43:44.82
TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE
NAILED TO THE CROSS AND
00:43:44.82\00:43:47.09
THAT JESUS DIED
SO WE CAN SIN FREELY.
00:43:47.09\00:43:49.96
AND, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY
PROBLEM THEY'VE GOT WITH
00:43:49.96\00:43:51.29
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS ONE
COMMANDMENT. YOU REALIZE THAT?
00:43:51.29\00:43:55.20
BECAUSE YOU GO TO MOST
OF THESE CHURCHES THAT SAY
00:43:55.20\00:43:57.40
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
THE OLD COVENANT NAILED TO
00:43:57.40\00:43:59.30
THE CROSS, YOU STAND UP
IN THEIR CHURCH AND SAY IT'S
00:43:59.30\00:44:01.47
OKAY TO COMMIT
ADULTERY, THEY'LL THROW YOU OUT.
00:44:01.47\00:44:03.67
YOU STAND UP AND SAY YOU CAN
STEAL, THEY'LL THROW YOU OUT.
00:44:03.67\00:44:07.74
YOU STAND UP AND SAY YOU
CAN USE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN
00:44:07.74\00:44:10.48
OR THAT YOU CAN
COVET, THEY'LL THROW YOU OUT.
00:44:10.48\00:44:16.38
YOU STAND UP AND SAY,
'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY'
00:44:16.38\00:44:18.55
THEY SAY, 'OH MAN, HERESY!
THAT IS THE OLD COVENANT.
00:44:18.55\00:44:23.19
THAT'S BEEN NAILED TO
THE CROSS.' THE ONLY REASON
00:44:23.19\00:44:26.19
THEY HAVE TO TRY TO
CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THE
00:44:26.19\00:44:28.36
TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
NAILED TO THE CROSS, IS
00:44:28.36\00:44:30.63
BECAUSE ONE COMMANDMENT
IN THE MIDDLE REALLY MAKES
00:44:30.63\00:44:33.57
THEM NERVOUS AND THE
DEVIL HATES IT ABOVE ALL THE
00:44:33.57\00:44:35.67
OTHERS BECAUSE IT'S
ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD AND GIVING
00:44:35.67\00:44:38.04
HIM OUR TIME. YOU
DON'T LOVE SOMEONE
00:44:38.04\00:44:40.41
WITHOUT TIME WITH THEM
AND THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT US
00:44:40.41\00:44:42.48
TO HAVE THAT HOLY TIME WITH
GOD. ANYWAY, I'M RUNNING OUT OF
00:44:42.48\00:44:45.81
TIME AND I'VE
STILL GOT LESSON LEFT.
00:44:45.81\00:44:47.42
OKAY, SO YOU HAVE, YOU
KNOW, THERE'S THE DAVIDIC
00:44:47.42\00:44:51.72
COVENANT - GOD PROMISED
DAVID THAT THROUGH HIM -
00:44:51.72\00:44:55.46
HE SAID, 'YOU WILL HAVE
A SON AND HE WILL BUILD A
00:44:55.46\00:44:58.83
HOUSE THAT WILL LAST
FOREVER. GOD TOLD DAVID, 'YOU'RE
00:44:58.83\00:45:01.53
GOING TO HAVE A SON
THAT WILL BUILD UP MY HOUSE.'
00:45:01.53\00:45:03.43
SO WHEN JESUS COMES, THE
SON OF DAVID, AND HE SAYS,
00:45:03.43\00:45:06.20
'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE
MADE WITH HANDS AND IN THREE
00:45:06.20\00:45:08.30
DAYS I WILL MAKE
ONE WITHOUT HANDS.'
00:45:08.30\00:45:09.90
THAT WAS A FULFILLMENT
OF THE DAVIDIC COVENANT.
00:45:09.90\00:45:13.07
CHRIST WAS NOT TALKING
ABOUT THE JEWISH TEMPLE,
00:45:13.07\00:45:15.64
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS
BODY. THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF
00:45:15.64\00:45:19.71
CHRIST. JESUS IS
THAT SON OF DAVID.
00:45:19.71\00:45:22.98
JESUS IS GOING TO
REIGN OVER THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:45:22.98\00:45:26.55
HE IS MELCHIZEDEK. HE IS THE SON
OF DAVID. AND SO THOSE THINGS
00:45:26.55\00:45:30.73
ARE REITERATED
THERE IN THAT COVENANT.
00:45:30.73\00:45:32.96
SO, WHEN YOU READ IN
JEREMIAH 31:31, "'BEHOLD,
00:45:32.96\00:45:37.20
THE DAYS ARE COMING,'
SAYS THE LORD, 'WHEN I WILL
00:45:37.20\00:45:39.57
MAKE A NEW COVENANT
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND
00:45:39.57\00:45:41.67
WITH THE HOUSE OF
JUDAH-NOT ACCORDING TO THE
00:45:41.67\00:45:43.64
COVENANT THAT I MADE
WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE DAY
00:45:43.64\00:45:45.34
THAT I TOOK THEM BY THE
HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF
00:45:45.34\00:45:47.64
THE LAND OF EGYPT, MY
COVENANT WHICH THEY BROKE,
00:45:47.64\00:45:50.58
THOUGH I WAS A HUSBAND
TO THEM,' SAYS THE LORD.
00:45:50.58\00:45:53.75
'BUT THIS IS THE COVENANT
THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE
00:45:53.75\00:45:56.02
HOUSE OF ISRAEL...I WILL
PUT MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS,
00:45:56.02\00:45:59.52
AND WRITE IT ON THEIR
HEARTS;'" - HOW MANY WOULD
00:45:59.52\00:46:01.52
LIKE THAT? - "'I WILL BE THEIR
GOD AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE.
00:46:01.52\00:46:06.59
NO MORE SHALL EVERY
MAN TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR, AND
00:46:06.59\00:46:08.26
EVERY MAN HIS BROTHER,
SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,'
00:46:08.26\00:46:09.66
FOR THEY ALL SHALL KNOW
ME,'" - THE NEW COVENANT'S
00:46:09.66\00:46:12.00
ABOUT WHAT? KNOWING HIM.
00:46:12.00\00:46:14.37
'THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE
THAT THEY MIGHT' - JESUS SAID -
00:46:14.37\00:46:16.81
'KNOW THEE.' JOHN CHAPTER 17.
00:46:16.81\00:46:20.31
NOW, NOT ONLY DO YOU
FIND THE NEW COVENANT BEING
00:46:20.31\00:46:22.91
MENTIONED BY
JEREMIAH, BUT ALSO BY ONE OF HIS
00:46:22.91\00:46:26.21
CONTEMPORARIES.
WHO HAS LUKE 22:19?
00:46:26.21\00:46:31.55
DID I EVER LET YOU
READ YOURS? OH, I FORGOT.
00:46:31.55\00:46:34.02
YOU GO AHEAD AND READ
YOUR VERSE - I - I GOT ENAMORED
00:46:34.02\00:46:36.79
WITH MY OWN VOICE.
>>"BUT NOW HATH THEE
00:46:36.79\00:46:40.63
OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT
MINISTRY BY HOW MUCH ALSO
00:46:40.63\00:46:44.90
HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A
BETTER COVENANT WHICH WAS
00:46:44.90\00:46:48.74
ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES."
00:46:48.74\00:46:51.81
>>ALRIGHT, THERE YOU
HAVE IT - BETTER PROMISES.
00:46:51.81\00:46:54.58
THE OLD COVENANT -
PEOPLE SAID, 'WE WILL.'
00:46:54.58\00:46:56.71
THE NEW COVENANT
GOD SAYS, 'I WILL.'
00:46:56.71\00:46:58.95
NOW DOES SOMEBODY HAVE
LUKE 22:19 - YOU'LL BE NEXT.
00:46:58.95\00:47:02.25
ALRIGHT, JUST A
MOMENT. LET ME READ
00:47:02.25\00:47:03.59
SOMETHING FIRST.
EZEKIEL - WAS EZEKIEL A
00:47:03.59\00:47:06.02
CONTEMPORARY OF
JEREMIAH? HE WAS, REMEMBER?
00:47:06.02\00:47:09.92
HE WAS CARRIED OFF
IN, I THINK, THE SECOND
00:47:09.92\00:47:11.23
CAPTIVITY OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:47:11.23\00:47:12.76
LISTEN TO WHAT
EZEKIEL SAYS ABOUT THE NEW
00:47:12.76\00:47:14.40
COVENANT - 36:24 - "FOR
I WILL TAKE YOU FROM AMONG
00:47:14.40\00:47:19.37
THE NATIONS, GATHER YOU
OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES, AND
00:47:19.37\00:47:22.60
BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND.
00:47:22.60\00:47:24.21
THEN I WILL SPRINKLE
CLEAN WATER ON YOU," - SOME USE
00:47:24.21\00:47:27.04
THAT AS AN ARGUMENT FOR
BAPTISM BY SPRINKLING - "I
00:47:27.04\00:47:29.64
WILL SPRINKLE CLEAN
WATER ON YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE
00:47:29.64\00:47:31.98
CLEAN; I WILL CLEANSE
YOU" - BY THE WAY, THE REASON
00:47:31.98\00:47:34.42
HE SAYS 'SPRINKLE' - THEY
USED TO SPRINKLE THE BLOOD
00:47:34.42\00:47:36.02
IN THE TEMPLE AND
HE'S JUST USING THAT SAME
00:47:36.02\00:47:39.49
LANGUAGE - "I WILL
CLEANSE YOU FROM ALL YOUR
00:47:39.49\00:47:42.66
FILTHINESS AND
FROM ALL YOUR IDOLS.
00:47:42.66\00:47:45.23
I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW
HEART AND PUT A NEW SPIRIT
00:47:45.23\00:47:48.16
WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE
THE HEART OF STONE OUT OF
00:47:48.16\00:47:51.10
YOUR FLESH AND GIVE
YOU A HEART OF FLESH.
00:47:51.10\00:47:53.30
I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT
WITHIN YOU AND CAUSE YOU
00:47:53.30\00:47:55.60
TO WALK IN MY
STATUTES, AND YOU WILL KEEP MY
00:47:55.60\00:47:58.31
JUDGMENTS AND DO
THEM." HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD
00:47:58.31\00:48:00.71
LIKE THE LORD TO DO THAT?
TO CAUSE YOU - TO PUT THAT
00:48:00.71\00:48:03.38
SPIRIT - THAT'S
THE NEW COVENANT.
00:48:03.38\00:48:05.51
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
TO PLEAD AND PRAY FOR.
00:48:05.51\00:48:07.35
AND THE MORE THAT YOU
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR IT,
00:48:07.35\00:48:08.92
THE MORE YOU'LL RECEIVE IT.
00:48:08.92\00:48:10.69
I BELIEVE THAT YOU
CAN EXPERIENCE THAT NEW
00:48:10.69\00:48:12.29
COVENANT IN VARYING DEGREES.
00:48:12.29\00:48:14.86
THE MORE ROOM YOU MAKE
IN YOUR HEART FOR GOD'S
00:48:14.86\00:48:17.76
LEADING AND HIS WILL, THE
MORE YOU'LL EXPERIENCE IT.
00:48:17.76\00:48:20.90
THE MORE SURRENDERED -
THE MORE FILLING YOU'LL HAVE.
00:48:20.90\00:48:23.70
IT SAYS, "THEN YOU'LL
DWELL IN THE LAND THAT I
00:48:23.70\00:48:25.90
GAVE YOUR FATHERS;
YOU SHALL BE MY PEOPLE,
00:48:25.90\00:48:27.77
AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.
00:48:27.77\00:48:28.90
I WILL DELIVER YOU
FROM ALL YOUR UNCLEANNESS."
00:48:28.90\00:48:31.41
THAT'S THE
BEAUTIFUL NEW COVENANT.
00:48:31.41\00:48:33.54
READ FOR US, PLEASE, LUKE 22:19.
00:48:33.54\00:48:36.24
>>"AND HE TOOK BREAD, GAVE
THANKS AND BROKE IT, AND GAVE IT
00:48:36.24\00:48:39.85
TO THEM, SAYING, 'THIS IS
MY BODY WHICH IS GIVEN FOR
00:48:39.85\00:48:43.35
YOU; DO THIS IS
REMEMBRANCE OF ME.'
00:48:43.35\00:48:46.86
LIKEWISE HE ALSO TOOK
THE CUP AFTER SUPPER, SAYING,
00:48:46.86\00:48:51.36
'THIS CUP IS THE NEW
COVENANT IN MY BLOOD,
00:48:51.36\00:48:54.30
WHICH IS SHED FOR
YOU.'" >>ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
00:48:54.30\00:48:57.80
OLD COVENANT?
THEY CONSECRATED THE
00:48:57.80\00:49:00.40
TEMPLE WITH THE
SHEDDING OF BLOOD.
00:49:00.40\00:49:02.50
NEW COVENANT?
JESUS' BODY IS THE TEMPLE.
00:49:02.50\00:49:06.24
HE GIVES THEM THE GRAPE
JUICE - OF COURSE IT'S A
00:49:06.24\00:49:07.84
SYMBOL OF HIS BLOOD THAT
WOULD BE SHED AND IT'S THE
00:49:07.84\00:49:11.01
TOKEN THAT RATIFIES
THE COVENANT - JUST AS
00:49:11.01\00:49:14.78
CIRCUMCISION WAS THE
PHYSICAL TANGIBLE TOKEN,
00:49:14.78\00:49:18.09
WHEN WE CELEBRATE THE
LORD'S SUPPER TOGETHER IT
00:49:18.09\00:49:20.56
IS A REMINDER THAT WE ARE
EMBRACING THE NEW COVENANT
00:49:20.56\00:49:23.56
THAT GOD WILL WRITE HIS
LAW ON OUR HEARTS - THAT
00:49:23.56\00:49:26.59
HE WILL GIVE US HIS SPIRIT.
00:49:26.59\00:49:28.40
WHAT GOD DID IN FILLING
JESUS - WHERE GOD BECAME A
00:49:28.40\00:49:32.37
MAN IN CHRIST - HE
WILL FILL US WITH HIS SPIRIT
00:49:32.37\00:49:35.50
IN THE SAME WAY.
00:49:35.50\00:49:37.14

>>PORT ROYAL, HERE
IN JAMAICA, WAS ONCE
00:50:27.59\00:50:29.59
CONSIDERED THE MOST
WICKED CITY IN THE WORLD.
00:50:29.59\00:50:32.29
THEY HAD MORE BARS AND
BROTHELS PER SQUARE FOOT
00:50:32.29\00:50:34.83
THAN ANY OTHER
PLACE ON THE PLANET.
00:50:34.83\00:50:36.63
IT WAS SAID TO BE
JUST FULL OF CUTTHROATS AND
00:50:36.63\00:50:38.77
PIRATES BUT, DURING THIS
TIME, THE KING OF FRANCE,
00:50:38.77\00:50:42.07
LOUIS XIV, HE BEGAN TO
PERSECUTE THE PROTESTANTS
00:50:42.07\00:50:45.61
AND THE HUGUENOTS IN
THE KINGDOM AND MANY FLED.
00:50:45.61\00:50:48.48
THAT'S WHEN LOUIS
GALDY AND HIS BROTHER LAURENT
00:50:48.48\00:50:50.91
CAME TO PORT ROYAL.
WHEN LOUIS GALDY ARRIVED,
00:50:50.91\00:50:55.95
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY DUMBFOUNDED
AT THE UNRESTRAINED IMMORALITY,
00:50:55.95\00:50:59.42
VIOLENCE, AND EXTRAVAGANCE
THAT FILLED PORT ROYAL.
00:50:59.42\00:51:02.82
THAT'S WHY NOBODY WAS SURPRISED
WHEN THE JUDGMENT OF GOD
00:51:02.82\00:51:05.66
FINALLY HAPPENED.
JUST BEFORE NOON ON JUNE
00:51:05.66\00:51:08.40
7, 1692, THERE WAS A
MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE THAT
00:51:08.40\00:51:11.70
AFFECTED THE WHOLE ISLAND,
PORT ROYAL, IN PARTICULAR.
00:51:11.70\00:51:15.24
TWO THIRDS OF IT
SLID INTO THE SEA.
00:51:15.24\00:51:17.41
THEN CAME A
TSUNAMI. THOUSANDS PERISHED.
00:51:17.41\00:51:20.14
UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN
LOUIS GALDY WAS SWALLOWED UP IN
00:51:20.14\00:51:23.35
THE EARTHQUAKE. YOU
KNOW, MUCH OF JAMAICA
00:51:23.35\00:51:28.95
IS A ROCK, BUT PORT
ROYAL WAS BUILT ON THE SAND.
00:51:28.95\00:51:32.39
AND SO, WHEN THE
EARTHQUAKE STRUCK, THE
00:51:32.39\00:51:34.32
SAND VIRTUALLY LIQUEFIED,
SWALLOWING MUCH OF THE CITY
00:51:34.32\00:51:36.93
AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
00:51:36.93\00:51:38.59
LOUIS GALDY WAS
BURIED ALIVE, BUT WHILE
00:51:38.59\00:51:41.53
UNDERGROUND HE WAS
STILL CONSCIOUS AND HE PRAYED.
00:51:41.53\00:51:45.47
HE RESIGNED HIMSELF TO
HIS FATE, PRAYED TO THE LORD,
00:51:45.47\00:51:48.10
AND THEN ANOTHER
MIRACLE HAPPENED.
00:51:48.10\00:51:50.21
THERE WAS AN AFTERSHOCK,
WITH VOLCANIC ACTIVITY,
00:51:50.21\00:51:52.87
THAT EXPLODED,
BLOWING LOUIS GALDY OUT OF THE
00:51:52.87\00:51:55.58
EARTH HUNDREDS OF YARDS
OFF INTO THE SEA WHERE HE
00:51:55.58\00:51:58.55
HAD A PRETTY HARD
LANDING, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO SWIM
00:51:58.55\00:52:01.48
UNTIL HE WAS RESCUED.
LOUIS GALDY DEDICATED THE
00:52:01.48\00:52:04.42
REMAINING 47 YEARS OF
HIS LIFE TO SERVING JESUS IN
00:52:04.42\00:52:07.82
THIS ISLAND AND HE'S
EVEN BURIED HERE STILL TODAY.
00:52:07.82\00:52:15.53
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TELLS US, JUST BEFORE JESUS
00:52:15.53\00:52:17.23
COMES BACK THE CONDITIONS
IN THE WORLD WILL BE VERY
00:52:17.23\00:52:19.40
MUCH LIKE THEY WERE IN
SODOM AND IN PORT ROYAL.
00:52:19.40\00:52:22.70
THERE'S GOING TO BE A
TREMENDOUS EARTHQUAKE AND
00:52:22.70\00:52:24.61
EVEN ISLANDS
WILL BE SWALLOWED UP.
00:52:24.61\00:52:26.34
BUT GOD'S PEOPLE
DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:52:26.34\00:52:28.48
THE SAME WAY THAT THE
LORD TOOK CARE OF LOUIS GALDY,
00:52:28.48\00:52:31.01
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:52:31.01\00:52:32.51
IT SAYS IN PSALM 91
THAT YOU MIGHT SEE A THOUSAND
00:52:32.51\00:52:35.05
FALL AT YOUR SIDE OR
TEN THOUSAND AT YOUR RIGHT
00:52:35.05\00:52:36.99
HAND, BUT ONLY WITH
YOUR EYES WILL YOU SEE AND
00:52:36.99\00:52:39.55
BEHOLD THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE WICKED.
00:52:39.55\00:52:41.36
HE CAN PROTECT
YOU AND RESURRECT YOU.

>>AMAZING FACTS CHANGED LIVES.
00:53:28.14\00:53:35.94
>>NOBODY WAS THERE TO DEFEND ME.
00:53:35.94\00:53:39.55
NOBODY WAS THERE TO PROTECT ME.
00:53:39.55\00:53:41.38
MY QUESTION WAS, 'WHY
DID THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?
00:53:41.38\00:53:44.99
WHY DIDN'T YOU INTERVENE?'
ONCE I HIT MY TEENAGE
00:53:44.99\00:53:49.49
YEARS, EVERYTHING
JUST STARTED COMING OUT.
00:53:49.49\00:53:53.33
I FELT EMBARRASSED OF
WHAT HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE FOR
00:53:53.33\00:53:56.70
SO LONG I FELT IT WAS MY FAULT.
00:53:56.70\00:53:59.27
THERE WERE TIMES THAT I
PRAYED, BUT IT WAS PRAYERS
00:53:59.27\00:54:02.84
OF RESENTMENT AND ANGER
AND JUST YELLING AT GOD.
00:54:02.84\00:54:07.58
I WAS SO CONFUSED, SO
DEPRESSED, AND I COULD NOT
00:54:07.58\00:54:12.05
BEAR ANY MORE OF THE
PAIN. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S
00:54:12.05\00:54:14.92
THE POINT OF
LIVING? IT'S MIGHT AS
00:54:14.92\00:54:16.35
WELL JUST DIE. I
STARTED CUTTING MYSELF
00:54:16.35\00:54:22.29
BUT I HEARD A SMALL
STILL VOICE AND IT SAID, 'STOP!
00:54:22.29\00:54:28.06
GIVE ME A SECOND
CHANCE.' AND RIGHT THERE I JUST
00:54:28.06\00:54:33.57
FELT SOMETHING
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
00:54:33.57\00:54:36.77
I FELT A PRESENCE THERE
AND I PUT EVERYTHING DOWN
00:54:36.77\00:54:40.74
AND I WENT TO MY
ROOM. I JUST STARTED CRYING.
00:54:40.74\00:54:43.51
I REALIZED THAT ME AND
GOD CONNECTED SO WELL AND I NO
00:54:43.51\00:54:48.62
LONGER SAW HIM AS JUST A
GOD THAT NO LONGER CARED,
00:54:48.62\00:54:52.19
BUT I ACTUALLY SAW HIM
AS A FATHER AND I CONTINUED
00:54:52.19\00:54:55.46
PRAYING. ONE DAY I WAS SLEEPING.
00:54:55.46\00:54:59.89
MY MOM CAME TO THE BED
AND SHE SAID, 'CONNIE, HE'S
00:54:59.89\00:55:03.77
HERE. HE'S IN TOWN AND THE LORD
00:55:03.77\00:55:06.33
IMPRESSED ME THAT YOU
NEED TO FACE THE SITUATION.
00:55:06.33\00:55:10.41
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO
FORGIVE.' WHEN SOMETHING
00:55:10.41\00:55:13.58
SO DRASTIC AND SO PAINFUL
HAS HAPPENED, FORGIVENESS
00:55:13.58\00:55:19.31
IS VERY HARD
BECAUSE YOU'RE VULNERABLE.
00:55:19.31\00:55:23.92
YOU LET GO OF THAT EGO
- THAT PRIDE - THAT HAS
00:55:23.92\00:55:26.72
TAKEN OVER YOU
FOR SO MANY YEARS.
00:55:26.72\00:55:29.76
I PRAYED AND WHEN WE
CONFRONTED THE SITUATION,
00:55:29.76\00:55:33.76
IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING
MOMENT WHERE WE COULD PRAY
00:55:33.76\00:55:37.17
AND WE COULD CRY
AND WE COULD FORGIVE.
00:55:37.17\00:55:40.37
AND BECAUSE OF THAT,
I'M ABLE TO HELP OTHERS AND
00:55:40.37\00:55:43.17
TELL OTHERS THAT THERE
IS HOPE AND THERE IS SOMEONE
00:55:43.17\00:55:46.47
THAT DOES CARE.
