OUR LESSON TODAY WILL BE BROUGHT

00:07:31.48\00:07:37.32
>>THANK YOU, PASTOR ROSS.
00:07:37.32\00:07:38.89
WELCOME, FRIENDS,

00:07:38.89\00:07:41.02

SCATTERED AROUND THE GLOBE WHO
00:07:56.44\00:07:58.74
ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE -
THEY'RE BELIEVERS - THEY'RE
00:07:58.74\00:08:01.28
MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, BUT THEY
DON'T HAVE A LOCAL CHURCH THEY
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.38
CAN ATTEND, EITHER BECAUSE OF
GEOGRAPHY OR INFIRMITY OR SOME
00:08:04.38\00:08:07.92
REASON. IF YOU'D

CONTACT US AT THE GRANITE BAY
WEBSITE - GRANITEBAYSDA.ORG -
00:08:12.59\00:08:18.03
AND THERE'S MORE
INFORMATION THERE.
00:08:18.03\00:08:19.56
WE'RE CONTINUING WITH OUR LESSON
DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
00:08:19.56\00:08:23.26
REBELLION AND REDEMPTION AND
WE'RE JUST NOW IN LESSON #3 AND
00:08:23.26\00:08:28.80
THE TITLE FOR TODAY'S LESSON
IS GLOBAL REBELLION AND THE
00:08:28.80\00:08:31.81
PATRIARCHS . NOW,
IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF
00:08:31.81\00:08:34.68
STUDIES WE TALKED
ABOUT THE FALL IN HEAVEN.
00:08:34.68\00:08:40.92
LAST WEEK WE DEALT
WITH THE FALL IN EDEN.
00:08:40.92\00:08:45.25
AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE FALL AMONG THE PATRIARCHS.
00:08:45.25\00:08:48.36
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
00:08:48.36\00:08:50.86
THE MEMORY VERSE IS
FROM GENESIS 28, VERSE 15.
00:08:50.86\00:08:54.63
IF YOU WANT TO SAY IT WITH
ME, IT'S IN THE NEW KING JAMES
00:08:54.63\00:08:56.43
VERSION HERE IN
YOUR STUDY GUIDE.
00:08:56.43\00:08:58.43
GENESIS 28, VERSE
15 AND - ARE YOU READY?
00:08:58.43\00:09:03.24
"BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU AND WILL
KEEP YOU WHEREVER YOU GO, AND
00:09:03.24\00:09:08.58
WILL BRING YOU BACK TO THIS
LAND; FOR I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU
00:09:08.58\00:09:12.45
UNTIL I HAVE DONE
WHAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU."
00:09:12.45\00:09:16.02
THIS IS NOT ONLY WHAT THE
LORD SAYS TO JACOB, IT'S WHAT HE
00:09:16.02\00:09:19.69
TELLS ALSO MOSES AND HE - JESUS,
HE SAID, 'BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU
00:09:19.69\00:09:25.36
TO THE END OF THE WORLD.' AND SO
THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO BE WITH
00:09:25.36\00:09:28.73
US. NOW WE'VE GOT A LOT TO COVER
00:09:28.73\00:09:31.73
TODAY AND THE FIRST SECTION
IS DEALING WITH CAIN AND ABEL.
00:09:31.73\00:09:35.30
WHY DON'T YOU
TURN THERE WITH ME?
00:09:35.30\00:09:36.97
CAIN AND ABEL AND
WE'RE GOING TO READ THIS.
00:09:36.97\00:09:41.34
YOU CAN FIND THIS IN GENESIS
4 AND IF YOU LOOK IN - SOMEONE'S
00:09:41.34\00:09:45.95
GOING TO BE READING A MEMORY
VERSE FOR ME IN GENESIS 4:9 -
00:09:45.95\00:09:49.55
OKAY, HAFDIS'LL HAVE
THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:09:49.55\00:09:51.89
AND IF YOU LOOK IN GENESIS 4,
LET'S JUST READ THIS TOGETHER.
00:09:51.89\00:09:56.93
"NOW ADAM KNEW EVE HIS WIFE, AND
SHE CONCEIVED AND BORE CAIN, AND
00:09:56.93\00:10:01.73
SAID, 'I HAVE ACQUIRED A
MAN FROM THE LORD.'" NOW I
00:10:01.73\00:10:04.63
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT CAN BE
TRANSLATED, LITERALLY, FROM THE
00:10:04.63\00:10:08.64
HEBREW, 'I HAVE A MAN' OR 'I'VE
GIVEN BIRTH TO A MAN, THE LORD,
00:10:08.64\00:10:13.31
YAHWEH.' AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE
SHE THOUGHT - THEY KNEW THAT THE
00:10:13.31\00:10:17.38
SAVIOR WAS COMING - THE
MESSIAH WOULD COME SOMEDAY.
00:10:17.38\00:10:20.52
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN AND
SHE THOUGHT 'THIS IS HIM'.
00:10:20.52\00:10:23.79
HOW DISAPPOINTED SHE WAS GOING
TO BE - CAIN WAS ANYTHING BUT
00:10:23.79\00:10:26.39
THE SAVIOR. BUT, YOU
KNOW, BIRTH MUST HAVE
00:10:26.39\00:10:29.79
BEEN SUCH A MIRACLE FOR
THEM. THIS WAS THE FIRST BIRTH.
00:10:29.79\00:10:33.09
THEY'D NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT
BEFORE AND EVERYONE ELSE HAD
00:10:33.09\00:10:36.90
BEEN CREATED AND ADAM AND EVE
WERE GIVEN THE ABILITY - LIKE
00:10:36.90\00:10:40.90
GOD - NOT ONLY WERE THEY GIVEN
DOMINION OF THE WORLD, THEY WERE
00:10:40.90\00:10:44.61
MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE IN THAT THEY
COULD PROCREATE IN THEIR OWN
00:10:44.61\00:10:47.68
IMAGE THROUGH AN ACT OF LOVE.
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, "THEN
00:10:47.68\00:10:53.65
SHE BORE AGAIN, THIS
TIME HIS BROTHER ABEL.
00:10:53.65\00:10:56.52
NOW ABEL WAS A KEEPER OF SHEEP,
BUT CAIN WAS A TILLER OF THE
00:10:56.52\00:11:00.32
GROUND." SO
RIGHT OFF YOU SEE THAT
00:11:00.32\00:11:01.72
THERE'S A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.
00:11:01.72\00:11:05.69
"AND IN THE PROCESS OF TIME, IT
CAME TO PASS THAT CAIN BROUGHT
00:11:05.69\00:11:09.10
AN OFFERING OF THE FRUIT
OF THE GROUND TO THE LORD.
00:11:09.10\00:11:12.47
ABEL ALSO BROUGHT OF THE
FIRSTBORN OF HIS FLOCK AND OF
00:11:12.47\00:11:15.54
THEIR FAT. AND THE
LORD HAD RESPECT TO ABEL
00:11:15.54\00:11:18.51
AND HIS OFFERING, BUT HE DID NOT
RESPECT CAIN AND HIS OFFERING.
00:11:18.51\00:11:22.74
AND CAIN WAS VERY ANGRY,
AND HIS COUNTENANCE FELL."
00:11:22.74\00:11:25.48
NOW WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH CAIN'S OFFERING?
00:11:25.48\00:11:27.92
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU THINK
YOU'D JUST BE THANKFUL FOR ANY
00:11:27.92\00:11:29.92
OFFERING YOU GET. BUT
HAD GOD SPECIFIED THAT
00:11:29.92\00:11:33.32
WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD
THERE WAS NO FORGIVENESS OF SIN?
00:11:33.32\00:11:36.73
THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM
WAS EXPLAINED TO ADAM AND EVE.
00:11:36.73\00:11:39.83
THAT'S WHY GOD CLOTHED
THEM WITH ROBES OF SKIN.
00:11:39.83\00:11:44.47
SOMETHING HAD TO DIE
TO INITIALLY COVER THEM.
00:11:44.47\00:11:46.67
AS THEY LEFT THE GARDEN OF EDEN,
THEY PROBABLY BROUGHT THEIR
00:11:46.67\00:11:49.20
SACRIFICES THERE SOMEWHERE NEAR
THE GATE WHERE THE ANGEL WAS
00:11:49.20\00:11:52.77
STILL GUARDING THE WAY.
IT WAS AS CLOSE AS THEY COULD
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.04
GET TO THE PLACE WHERE GOD
HAD WALKED AMONG THEM AND CAIN
00:11:55.04\00:11:59.35
THOUGHT, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S
A - ABEL, I COULD SEE WHY HE
00:11:59.35\00:12:03.32
WOULD GIVE AN OFFERING OF THE
SHEEP, BUT I'M A TILLER OF THE
00:12:03.32\00:12:07.66
GROUND AND HE'LL GIVE WHAT HIS
WORKS ARE AND I'LL GIVE WHAT MY
00:12:07.66\00:12:11.43
WORKS ARE.' BUT IT SAYS THAT
HIS OFFERING WASN'T ACCEPTED.
00:12:11.43\00:12:16.40
NOW, YOU REMEMBER, WHEN GOD
ACCEPTED THE OFFERING OF ELIJAH
00:12:16.40\00:12:21.30
AND NOT THE OFFERING OF BAAL,
WHAT WAS THE SIGN THAT GOD HAD
00:12:21.30\00:12:23.94
ACCEPTED ELIJAH'S
OFFERING? >>FIRE FROM HEAVEN.
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.74
>>FIRE FROM HEAVEN. WHEN
DAVID MADE AN OFFERING ON
00:12:26.74\00:12:31.21
THE THRESHING FLOOR OF ORNAN,
TO STOP A PLAGUE, WHAT HAPPENED?
00:12:31.21\00:12:35.78
>>FIRE. >>FIRE CAME DOWN.
00:12:35.78\00:12:37.99
WHEN SOLOMON DEDICATED THE
TEMPLE - NOW YOU FIND THIS, I
00:12:37.99\00:12:40.96
BELIEVE, IN CHRONICLES, BUT NOT
IN THE VERSION IN KINGS - BUT IN
00:12:40.96\00:12:44.06
CHRONICLES IT SAYS
THE FIRE OF GOD CAME DOWN.
00:12:44.06\00:12:48.00
THE GLORY OF THE LORD SO FILLED
THE PLACE THEY COULDN'T MINISTER
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.03
THERE. AND IT WAS
A SIGN OF APPROVAL
00:12:50.03\00:12:53.23
WHEN THEY BUILT THE TABERNACLE
IN THE WILDERNESS, THE
00:12:53.23\00:12:55.27
FIRE OF GOD CAME DOWN.
AND SO, WHEN CAIN AND ABEL
00:12:55.27\00:12:59.21
BROUGHT THEIR OFFERINGS, AT
LEAST BACK THEN, GOD SHOWED HIS
00:12:59.21\00:13:02.38
APPROVAL BY HE WOULD CONSUME IT.
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT GATHERED
00:13:02.38\00:13:06.18
ON CAIN'S
OFFERING WAS FRUIT FLIES.
00:13:06.18\00:13:09.35
AND THE FIRE OF GOD CAME
DOWN AND GOD HAD ACCEPTED ABEL'S
00:13:09.35\00:13:13.89
OFFERING. AND SO THAT REALLY
BOTHERED THE OLDER BROTHER.
00:13:13.89\00:13:20.20
AND IT - YOU CAN READ ABOUT
IT HERE. IT SAYS THAT CAIN WAS
00:13:20.20\00:13:25.70
ANGRY - HIS COUNTENANCE
FELL. HE BEGAN TO BROOD.
00:13:25.70\00:13:29.07
"SO THE LORD SAID TO
CAIN, 'WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?
00:13:29.07\00:13:31.84
AND WHY HAS YOUR
COUNTENANCE FALLEN?
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.11
IF YOU DO WELL, WILL YOU NOT
BE ACCEPTED?'" NOW THERE'S A LAW
00:13:34.11\00:13:37.41
OF LIFE - "'IF YOU DO
WELL, WILL YOU NOT BE ACCEPTED?
00:13:37.41\00:13:41.15
AND IF YOU DO NOT DO
WELL, SIN LIES AT THE DOOR.
00:13:41.15\00:13:46.22
AND ITS DESIRE IS FOR YOU'"
- THE DESIRE OF SIN IS FOR YOU
00:13:46.22\00:13:49.42
- "'BUT YOU SHOULD RULE
OVER IT.'" - YOU SHOULD HAVE THE
00:13:49.42\00:13:51.43
MASTERY OVER IT. DO
NOT LET IT CONTROL YOU.
00:13:51.43\00:13:54.23
WHATEVER CONTROLS YOU, YOU
ARE THE SERVANT OF THE ONE THAT
00:13:54.23\00:13:56.20
CONTROLS YOU. BUT
CAIN WAS BEING CONTROLLED
00:13:56.20\00:14:01.30
AND CONSUMED BY HIS
PRIDE AND HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.
00:14:01.30\00:14:05.01
AND THEN IT TELLS US THAT
IT WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE.
00:14:05.01\00:14:07.98
"NOW CAIN TALKED WITH ABEL HIS
BROTHER; AND IT CAME TO PASS,
00:14:07.98\00:14:11.41
WHEN THEY WERE IN THE FIELD,
THAT CAIN ROSE UP AGAINST ABEL
00:14:11.41\00:14:14.82
HIS BROTHER AND KILLED HIM."
NOW DID THEY NOT THINK THAT
00:14:14.82\00:14:19.65
GOD SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
GO AHEAD, WE'RE GOING TO READ
00:14:19.65\00:14:23.99
VERSE 9 - WHY DON'T
YOU READ THAT FOR US?
00:14:23.99\00:14:27.86
>>"THEN THE LORD SAID TO CAIN,
'WHERE IS ABEL YOUR BROTHER?'
00:14:27.86\00:14:32.60
HE SAID, 'I DO NOT KNOW.
AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?'"
00:14:32.60\00:14:37.91
>>NOW WHEN GOD CONFRONTED
ADAM AND SAID, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
00:14:37.91\00:14:42.04
ADAM DEMONSTRATED A VERY
DIFFERENT ATTITUDE THAN THAT OF
00:14:42.04\00:14:45.08
CAIN. HE SHOWED THAT HE WAS
ASHAMED. HE WAS CONFUSED. BUT
00:14:45.08\00:14:52.15
CAIN IS DEFIANT. HE'S CYNICAL.
HE'S NOT HUMBLING HIMSELF.
00:14:52.15\00:14:59.13
AND THE SARCASM - AM I MY
BROTHER'S - HE TOOK CARE OF
00:14:59.13\00:15:03.97
SHEEP - IT SOUNDS LIKE
CAIN HAD DISDAIN FOR SHEEP.
00:15:03.97\00:15:06.90
'I'M NOT GOING TO BRING A SHEEP.
00:15:06.90\00:15:08.20
WHAT DOES TAKING SMELLY ANIMALS
- I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE
00:15:08.20\00:15:11.31
FRUIT OF THE GROUND. MY - I'LL
BE SAVED BY MY WORKS. I MADE
00:15:11.31\00:15:16.28
THESE ZUCCHINI AND I'M GOING
TO OFFER THEM TO THE LORD.'
00:15:16.28\00:15:19.28
SEE, IT WAS JUST A WHOLE - ONE
WAS RIGHTEOUSNESS BY WORKS AND
00:15:19.28\00:15:22.42
ONE WAS RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
00:15:22.42\00:15:24.49
AND VERY DIFFERENT
ATTITUDES THAT THEY HAD.
00:15:24.49\00:15:28.72
AND THE IDEA THAT
HE COULD HIDE FROM GOD.
00:15:28.72\00:15:32.63
DID JONAH THINK HE COULD RUN
FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD?
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.93
ADAM AND EVE RAN FROM THE
PRESENCE OF GOD - IT SAYS IN -
00:15:35.93\00:15:38.97
WHAT IS IT, PSALM
137? - 'WHERE SHALL I FLEE
00:15:38.97\00:15:42.40
FROM YOUR
PRESENCE?' YOU CAN'T RUN FROM
00:15:42.40\00:15:45.34
THE PRESENCE OF GOD. AND
THEN THE CURSE FELL ON CAIN.
00:15:45.34\00:15:49.78
YOU'LL NOTICE, RIGHT
HERE, THAT THERE IS A DIVISION.
00:15:49.78\00:15:52.58
SIN ENTERED THIS FAMILY AND -
OH, HOW BROKEN HEARTED WERE ADAM
00:15:52.58\00:15:55.12
AND EVE WHEN YOU'VE GOT ONE
BROTHER KILLS THE OTHER BROTHER
00:15:55.12\00:15:59.92
AND ONE BECOMES AN OUTCAST?
00:15:59.92\00:16:02.32
DO SOME OF YOU REMEMBER A STORY
IN THE BIBLE WHERE A WOMAN COMES
00:16:02.32\00:16:07.36
TO KING DAVID AND AT THE
ENCOURAGEMENT OF JOAB SHE
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.63
CONCOCTS THIS STORY ABOUT THIS
WIDOW THAT HAD ONLY TWO SONS.
00:16:10.63\00:16:15.74
AND THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT IN THE
FIELD AND ONE SLEW THE OTHER AND
00:16:15.74\00:16:22.48
NOW THEY WERE GOING TO EXECUTE
THE LIVING SON WHO HAD SLAIN HIS
00:16:22.48\00:16:25.41
BROTHER AND SHE WOULD HAVE NO
HEIR AND NO ONE TO TAKE CARE OF
00:16:25.41\00:16:29.15
HER. ANY OF YOU
REMEMBER THAT STORY?
00:16:29.15\00:16:31.42
THIS IS SOMETHING LIKE WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:16:31.42\00:16:34.86
THIS IS - CAIN WAS THE FIRST
BIRTH AND HE WAS ALSO THE FIRST
00:16:34.86\00:16:37.63
MURDERER. THE
FIRST DEATH, AND WE
00:16:37.63\00:16:40.80
MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, THE FIRST
DEATH WAS ABEL - ACTUALLY, THE
00:16:40.80\00:16:45.10
FIRST DEATH WAS A LAMB - A
SHEEP - AND THEN THE - THE FIRST
00:16:45.10\00:16:49.84
HUMAN TO DIE WAS A SHEPHERD.
SO YOU'VE GOT A SHEEP AND A
00:16:49.84\00:16:53.41
SHEPHERD WERE THE FIRST TO DIE.
AND SO, THIS WAS VERY SAD AND IT
00:16:53.41\00:16:58.95
TELLS US ABOUT WHERE
SIN ENTERS THE WORLD.
00:16:58.95\00:17:02.85
NOW, YOU FIND A LOT OF EXAMPLES
HERE OF SEPARATION THAT ARE
00:17:02.85\00:17:09.19
TAKING PLACE. YOU CAN
READ WHERE, BECAUSE OF
00:17:09.19\00:17:14.10
THE SIN OF LUCIFER,
HE'S CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:17:14.10\00:17:18.97
BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF ADAM
AND EVE, THEY'RE CAST OUT OF THE
00:17:18.97\00:17:22.47
GARDEN. BECAUSE OF
THE SIN OF CAIN, HE
00:17:22.47\00:17:25.97
GOES OFF FROM THE PRESENCE
OF THE LORD, EASTWARD OF
00:17:25.97\00:17:28.71
EDEN, AND BUILDS A CITY.
AND YOU WILL FIND SOME OTHER
00:17:28.71\00:17:33.01
EXAMPLES OF THAT
AS WE READ ON HERE.
00:17:33.01\00:17:35.55
AND SO, CAIN AND ABEL
REPRESENT TWO GREAT CLASSES.
00:17:35.55\00:17:38.69
NOW THE BIBLE BEGINS - DON'T
MISS THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT -
00:17:38.69\00:17:41.52
WHAT'S PART OF THE CURSE?
THE GROUND IS CURSED BECAUSE
00:17:41.52\00:17:44.19
OF WHAT CAIN HAS DONE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO YIELD - THE
00:17:44.19\00:17:46.53
THING HE LOVED THE MOST WAS
THE SOIL AND HIS WORK IN THE
00:17:46.53\00:17:50.20
SOIL WOULD BE CURSED.
>>THAT WAS ADAM'S CURSE TOO.
00:17:50.20\00:17:54.90
>>AND BEYOND THAT, IT SAYS
A MARK IS PLACED UPON CAIN.
00:17:54.90\00:17:59.44
NOW DO YOU FIND THAT HAPPENING
IN THE LAST PART OF THE BIBLE?
00:17:59.44\00:18:03.24
HERE IN THE LAST PART OF
THE BIBLE YOU'VE GOT ONE WHO
00:18:03.24\00:18:06.88
WORSHIPS GOD THE WAY THE LORD
SAYS, ANOTHER GROUP WHO WORSHIPS
00:18:06.88\00:18:11.45
THEIR OWN WAY. THE
ONES WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST
00:18:11.45\00:18:14.92
AND ARE DOING IT THEIR OWN WAY
BY WORKS, PERSECUTE AND SEEK TO
00:18:14.92\00:18:18.89
KILL THE ONES
WHO DO IT GOD'S WAY.
00:18:18.89\00:18:21.66
AND SO YOU'VE GOT TWO CATEGORIES
- THE SAME TWO CATEGORIES THAT
00:18:21.66\00:18:24.37
YOU HAVE AT THE BEGINNING IN THE
WORLD - RIGHT AFTER THEY LEFT
00:18:24.37\00:18:27.60
EDEN - YOU HAVE THOSE SAME TWO
CATEGORIES AGAIN AT THE END OF
00:18:27.60\00:18:30.14
TIME. IT'S THE
SAME REBELLION AND
00:18:30.14\00:18:33.27
REDEMPTION THAT YOU FIND
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BIBLE
00:18:33.27\00:18:35.71
- SIN AND SALVATION.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO JUMP -
00:18:35.71\00:18:37.45
WE'VE GOT A LOT TO COVER HERE -
WE'RE GOING TO JUMP OVER - ONTO
00:18:37.45\00:18:40.98
THE NEXT SECTION THAT'S DEALING
WITH THE STORY OF THE FLOOD.
00:18:40.98\00:18:44.89
AND TURN IN YOUR
BIBLE TO GENESIS 6.
00:18:44.89\00:18:47.49
THIS IS A PASSAGE THAT
HAS CONFUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:18:47.49\00:18:51.93
GENESIS 6 - AND IT SAYS IN VERSE
1, "NOW IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN
00:18:51.93\00:18:56.56
MEN BEGAN TO MULTIPLY ON THE
FACE OF THE EARTH, AND DAUGHTERS
00:18:56.56\00:19:02.07
WERE BORN TO THEM, THAT THE SONS
OF GOD SAW THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN,
00:19:02.07\00:19:06.98
THAT THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL; AND
THEY TOOK WIVES FOR THEMSELVES
00:19:06.98\00:19:09.78
OF ALL WHOM THEY CHOSE."
ALRIGHT, EVERY JANUARY AT
00:19:09.78\00:19:16.55
THE BIBLE ANSWERS LIVE
RADIO PROGRAM, WE GET A LOT OF
00:19:16.55\00:19:20.06
QUESTIONS ABOUT
THIS. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:19:20.06\00:19:22.72
A FEW THINGS HAPPEN IN JANUARY:
HEALTH CLUB MEMBERSHIPS SPIKE IN
00:19:22.72\00:19:27.03
JANUARY AND PEOPLE ALSO MAKE NEW
YEAR'S COMMITMENTS THEY'RE GOING
00:19:27.03\00:19:33.00
TO READ THROUGH
THEIR BIBLES IN JANUARY.
00:19:33.00\00:19:35.20
AND SO PEOPLE GET TO GENESIS
6 AND THEY READ 'SONS OF GOD SAW
00:19:35.20\00:19:39.54
THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN AND THEY
TOOK WIVES' AND THEN IT GOES ON
00:19:39.54\00:19:44.38
AND SAYS, 'AND THERE WERE GIANTS
ON THE EARTH' - IN VERSE 4 - 'IN
00:19:44.38\00:19:47.55
THOSE DAYS, AND AFTERWARD, WHEN
THE SONS OF GOD CAME IN TO THE
00:19:47.55\00:19:50.99
DAUGHTERS OF MEN - THEY WERE
MIGHTY MEN - MEN OF OLD' - SO
00:19:50.99\00:19:55.52
THESE SONS OF GOD HAVE RELATIONS
WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN AND
00:19:55.52\00:19:59.49
THEY HAVE THESE
SUPERNATURAL CREATURES.
00:19:59.49\00:20:02.16
WHAT COULD THAT MEAN?
AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME
00:20:02.16\00:20:04.67
BIBLE VERSIONS THAT SAY, 'WHEN
THESE FALLEN ANGELS SAW THE
00:20:04.67\00:20:08.27
DAUGHTERS OF MEN WERE BEAUTIFUL,
THEY HAD INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH
00:20:08.27\00:20:11.87
THEM AND THEN THE CHILDREN WERE
GIANTS.' IS THAT WHAT IT MEANS?
00:20:11.87\00:20:15.98
HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:20:15.98\00:20:19.78
THAT IS A TERRIBLE DISTORTION.
OR OTHERS HAVE SAID THESE ARE
00:20:19.78\00:20:22.95
CREATURES FROM OTHER
PLANETS - THE SONS OF GOD.
00:20:22.95\00:20:25.99
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A DAY WHEN
THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO GATHER
00:20:25.99\00:20:27.69
BEFORE THE LORD - IN THE BOOK OF
JOB - AND IT TALKS ABOUT ANGELS
00:20:27.69\00:20:30.63
OR RULERS OF OTHER
WORLDS. AND SO 'THESE ALIENS HAD
00:20:30.63\00:20:35.56
INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH HUMANS
AND THEY HAD THESE SUPER-GIANT
00:20:35.56\00:20:38.23
CHILDREN' - AND THERE ARE A
LOT OF DIFFERENT SPINS ON THIS.
00:20:38.23\00:20:42.87
NO, FRIENDS, THAT'S
NOT WHAT IT'S SAYING.
00:20:42.87\00:20:45.17
WHO ARE THE SONS OF GOD?
BY THE WAY, THIS IS WHY OUR
00:20:45.17\00:20:47.71
SPECIAL OFFER FOR THIS LESSON -
AND WE HOPE YOU ASK FOR IT - THE
00:20:47.71\00:20:50.78
SPECIAL OFFER FOR TODAY'S LESSON
- YOU CAN CALL THE PHONE NUMBER
00:20:50.78\00:20:53.65
ON YOUR SCREEN AND ASK
FOR THAT AND THEY'LL SEND
00:20:53.65\00:20:55.35
YOU A FREE COPY. OR
YOU CAN READ IT ONLINE.
00:20:55.35\00:20:57.32
THE BIBLE TELLS US
WHO THE SONS OF GOD ARE.
00:20:57.32\00:21:00.76
FIRST OF ALL, SOMEONE'S GOING
TO READ GALATIANS 3:26 IN JUST A
00:21:00.76\00:21:03.53
MOMENT. GET READY FOR THAT.
00:21:03.53\00:21:05.89
YOU CAN READ MATTHEW 5:9,
"BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS,
00:21:05.89\00:21:09.50
FOR THEY" - ARE
WHAT? >>SONS OF GOD.
00:21:09.50\00:21:12.37
>>THEY ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD
AND IT SAYS THEY ARE THE SONS OF
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.24
GOD. SO WHO ARE THE SONS OF GOD?
THE ONES WHO SERVE THE LORD.
00:21:14.24\00:21:19.07
ROMANS 8:14, "FOR AS MANY AS ARE
LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THESE
00:21:19.07\00:21:23.28
ARE SONS OF GOD." AND
THEN YOU CAN READ IN 1 JOHN
00:21:23.28\00:21:28.38
CHAPTER 3, "BEHOLD WHAT MANNER
OF LOVE THE FATHER HAS BESTOWED
00:21:28.38\00:21:31.82
ON US, THAT WE SHOULD
BE CALLED SONS OF GOD!"
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.82
SO THE SONS OF GOD ARE THE ONES
WHO ARE IN THE WORLD, FOLLOWING
00:21:34.82\00:21:38.59
ADAM AND EVE, WHO
STILL SERVE THE LORD.
00:21:38.59\00:21:40.96
CAIN TOOK HIS WIFE, AND
EVERYONE'S GOING TO SAY,
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.23
'WHERE'D HE GET HIS WIFE?'
00:21:43.23\00:21:44.53
YOU READ IN GENESIS 5, ADAM AND
EVE HAD MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS
00:21:44.53\00:21:48.94
BESIDES CAIN AND ABEL.
THEY LIVED HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
00:21:48.94\00:21:51.67
ADAM - 930 YEARS - THEY WERE
PROBABLY - TODAY, THE BEARING
00:21:51.67\00:21:59.41
WINDOW, BECAUSE OUR LIVES
ARE SHORT, THE FERTILITY OF A
00:21:59.41\00:22:02.58
MARRIED COUPLE IS GOING TO
BE THIRTY YEARS. BUT BACK IN THE
00:22:02.58\00:22:07.79
DAYS OF ADAM AND EVE IT COULD
HAVE BEEN FOUR HUNDRED YEARS IF
00:22:07.79\00:22:11.86
YOU JUST PUT THEIR LIFE
SPAN UP AGAINST THE SAME RATIO.
00:22:11.86\00:22:15.80
IF YOU WERE IN PERFECT HEALTH
AND YOU'RE MARRIED AND GOD SAYS,
00:22:15.80\00:22:19.17
'BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY'
AND YOUR BEARING YEARS ARE FOUR
00:22:19.17\00:22:22.30
HUNDRED YEARS, HOW MANY
CHILDREN DO YOU THINK THEY HAD?
00:22:22.30\00:22:29.61
THERE WERE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE - THERE MAY
00:22:29.61\00:22:32.51
HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
BY THE TIME THE FLOOD CAME.
00:22:32.51\00:22:34.65
ANYWAY, SO - AND IT SAYS CAIN
TOOK HIS WIFE - HE TOOK ONE OF
00:22:34.65\00:22:37.45
HIS SISTERS. ADAM,
TECHNICALLY, MARRIED HIS SISTER.
00:22:37.45\00:22:42.16
IT WASN'T A SIN. THERE
WERE NO GENETIC DEFECTS IF
00:22:42.16\00:22:45.09
YOU MARRIED CLOSE TO THE FAMILY
TREE BACK THEN, IT WAS JUST AS
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.73
TIME WENT BY, BY THE TIME
OF MOSES IT WAS FROWNED ON.
00:22:47.73\00:22:51.00
THINK ABOUT IT, JACOB MARRIED
HIS FIRST COUSIN, DIDN'T HE?
00:22:51.00\00:22:54.57
ABRAHAM MARRIED
HIS HALF SISTER SARAH.
00:22:54.57\00:22:59.51
EVEN IN SONG OF SOLOMON IT SAYS,
'MY SISTER, MY SPOUSE.' IT'S
00:22:59.51\00:23:02.81
KIND OF WEIRD, ISN'T
IT? BUT YOU - YOU'VE GOT -
00:23:02.81\00:23:08.12
WHO IS THE OTHER ONE? JACOB -
ISAAC MARRIED HIS FIRST COUSIN.
00:23:08.12\00:23:11.59
SO IT WASN'T A PROBLEM.
BY THE TIME OF MOSES THEY
00:23:11.59\00:23:13.92
DISCOURAGED IT BECAUSE YOU
DON'T HAVE THE GENETIC VITALITY.
00:23:13.92\00:23:17.46
SO WHY DOES IT SAY 'WHEN
THE SONS OF GOD, THE CHILDREN OF
00:23:17.46\00:23:20.96
SETH - THE CHILDREN OF ADAM AND
EVE THAT WERE FAITHFUL TO GOD -
00:23:20.96\00:23:24.97
MORE SPECIFICALLY,
THE CHILDREN OF SETH.
00:23:24.97\00:23:26.77
YOU REMEMBER WHEN ADAM AND
EVE HAD SETH IT SAYS, 'THEN MEN
00:23:26.77\00:23:31.14
BEGAN TO CALL ON
THE NAME OF THE LORD.
00:23:31.14\00:23:33.58
AFTER SETH WAS BORN IT SAYS,
'THEN THEY BEGAN TO CALL ON THE
00:23:33.58\00:23:35.88
NAME OF THE LORD. SETH
AND HIS FAMILY, THEY SAID,
00:23:35.88\00:23:38.08
'WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE
MISTAKE OF CAIN AND HIS FAMILY.'
00:23:38.08\00:23:42.15
THEY WERE TWO COMPLETE,
SEPARATE, DISTINCT PEOPLES AND
00:23:42.15\00:23:45.42
AS LONG AS THEY STAYED SEPARATE,
THEY MAINTAINED THEIR HOLINESS.
00:23:45.42\00:23:49.29
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS IF
WE'RE UNEQUALLY YOKED - WHEN THE
00:23:49.29\00:23:52.36
SONS OF GOD BEGAN TO LOOK ON THE
DAUGHTERS OF MEN AND SAY, 'OH,
00:23:52.36\00:23:55.00
YOU KNOW, BUT THEY'RE FAIR.
THEY'RE PRETTY AND THEY'RE NICE.
00:23:55.00\00:23:58.33
EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T
WORSHIP GOD, WHO CARES?'
00:23:58.33\00:24:01.27
AND THEY BEGAN TO INTERMARRY
WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN - THE
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.51
DAUGHTERS OF CAIN AND
THEN THE HOLINESS WAS LOST.
00:24:03.51\00:24:08.11
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THEN THE
THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS WERE
00:24:08.11\00:24:09.54
ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.
SO THE SONS OF GOD WERE WHO?
00:24:09.54\00:24:14.12
>>DESCENDANTS OF SETH.
>>DESCENDANTS OF SETH WHO WERE
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.65
FAITHFUL TO GOD - THE BELIEVERS.
THEY BEGAN TO INTERMARRY WITH
00:24:16.65\00:24:20.16
THE DAUGHTERS OF
MEN WHO WERE WHO?
00:24:20.16\00:24:22.76
DESCENDENTS OF CAIN THAT
HAD TURNED THEIR BACK ON GOD.
00:24:22.76\00:24:28.53
BUT WHY DOES IT SAY
THEIR CHILDREN WERE GIANTS?
00:24:28.53\00:24:34.17
THIS IS SOMETHING VERY
SIMPLE CALLED GENETIC VITALITY.
00:24:34.17\00:24:37.51
IT IS A RULE OF LIFE THAT
WHEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:24:37.51\00:24:40.34
SEPARATED FOR A COUPLE
OF GENERATIONS, WHEN THEY
00:24:40.34\00:24:42.88
INTERMARRY AND THEY GET FRESH
GENES CO-MINGLING, YOU CAN HAVE
00:24:42.88\00:24:46.95
VERY STRONG SPECIES.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
00:24:46.95\00:24:49.48
CROSS A HORSE AND A
DONKEY? WHAT DO YOU GET?
00:24:49.48\00:24:51.75
>>A MULE. >>A MULE.
00:24:51.75\00:24:54.06
IS A MULE GOING TO BE
BIGGER THAN A DONKEY? TYPICALLY.
00:24:54.06\00:24:57.83
MATTER OF FACT, THE MULE CAN BE
BIGGER THAN THE FATHER HORSE AND
00:24:57.83\00:25:01.30
THE MOTHER DONKEY. DO
YOU KNOW YOU CAN CROSS A LION
00:25:01.30\00:25:04.83
AND A TIGER AND
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GET?
00:25:04.83\00:25:07.04
>>A LIGER. >>A LIGER.
00:25:07.04\00:25:08.64
IT'S TRUE - ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
AND DID YOU KNOW THE LIGER WILL
00:25:08.64\00:25:11.27
BE BIGGER THAN THE
LION AND THE TIGER.
00:25:11.27\00:25:14.08
AND THIS IS CALLED GENETIC
VITALITY. SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN
00:25:14.08\00:25:18.28
MY FRIEND JOHN LOMACANG.
I ALWAYS TEASE HIM AND USE
00:25:18.28\00:25:21.95
HIM AS AN EXHIBIT OF THIS.
JOHN'S MOTHER, WHO I MET, WAS A
00:25:21.95\00:25:26.69
FILIPINO JUST
PUSHING PAST FOUR FEET.
00:25:26.69\00:25:30.76
HIS FATHER, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
- NEITHER WERE AS TALL AS JOHN
00:25:30.76\00:25:34.73
WHO'S LIKE SIX-THREE -
THAT'S CALLED GENETIC VITALITY.
00:25:34.73\00:25:39.77
IT'S A COMMON SCIENCE AND SO
IT WASN'T THAT ALIENS OR FALLEN
00:25:39.77\00:25:44.44
ANGELS - DO ANGELS
INTERMARRY WITH HUMANS?
00:25:44.44\00:25:48.54
NO, THE BIBLE'S
VERY CLEAR ON THAT.
00:25:48.54\00:25:50.41
IT SAYS THEY NEITHER
MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE.
00:25:50.41\00:25:53.08
ANGELS DO NOT PROCREATE.
AND SO, DON'T BELIEVE SOME OF
00:25:53.08\00:25:57.92
THESE STRANGE INTERPRETATIONS.
ANYWAY, SO AS A RESULT OF THIS
00:25:57.92\00:26:02.69
INTERMARRIAGE, THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT THEY WERE TO
00:26:02.69\00:26:05.63
MAINTAIN A SEPARATION. NOW
CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE IN THE
00:26:05.63\00:26:08.10
WORLD, TO BE SEPARATE FROM
THE WORLD, AND YET KNOW HOW TO
00:26:08.10\00:26:11.47
MINGLE ENOUGH TO WITNESS TO THE
WORLD - VERY CAREFUL BALANCE.
00:26:11.47\00:26:14.97
DO NOT FOLLOW THE
WAYS OF THE WORLD.
00:26:14.97\00:26:17.11
DO NOT WALK IN THE -
HAVE YOU READ THE FIRST PSALM?
00:26:17.11\00:26:21.08
BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT WALKS
NOT IN THE WAY OF THE UNGODLY OR
00:26:21.08\00:26:23.98
STANDS IN THE
SEAT - OR WHAT IS IT?
00:26:23.98\00:26:26.48
SITS IN THE
SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.
00:26:26.48\00:26:28.65
STANDS IN THE WAY OF SINNERS
- BECAUSE YOU START WALKING THEN
00:26:28.65\00:26:31.85
YOU STAND AND THEN YOU SIT
AND YOU BECOME ONE OF THEM.
00:26:31.85\00:26:34.39
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BE A
WITNESS WITHOUT BECOMING ONE OF
00:26:34.39\00:26:36.66
THEM. AND THAT'S THE CHALLENGE.
00:26:36.66\00:26:38.96
WELL, WHEN THE SONS OF GOD BEGAN
TO MARRY THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN
00:26:38.96\00:26:43.40
AND THEY GOT TOGETHER FOR
HOLIDAYS AND THEN PRETTY SOON
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.17
THEY STARTED LIVING IN THE
VALLEYS WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF
00:26:45.17\00:26:46.97
CAIN AND THE PEOPLE AND PRETTY
SOON THEIR HOLY DISTINCTION WAS
00:26:46.97\00:26:50.14
LOST. THEY BEGAN - IF YOU
GET A BELIEVER THAT MARRIES AN
00:26:50.14\00:26:53.21
UNBELIEVER, SOMETIMES THE
BELIEVER WILL INFLUENCE THE
00:26:53.21\00:26:57.31
UNBELIEVER TO BECOME A BELIEVER.
BUT HOW DOES IT USUALLY WORK?
00:26:57.31\00:27:03.05
DOES GRAVITY MAKE
YOU FALL UP OR DOWN?
00:27:03.05\00:27:05.72
>>DOWN.
00:27:05.72\00:27:07.19
>>PEOPLE DON'T SAY, 'WELL, I
FELL UP.' YOU CAN JUMP UP BUT IT
00:27:07.19\00:27:10.83
TAKES MORE EFFORT AND SO
THE NATURAL TENDENCY IS WHEN A
00:27:10.83\00:27:14.46
BELIEVER AND AN UNBELIEVER GET
TOGETHER, THE BELIEVER BECOMES
00:27:14.46\00:27:17.53
THE ONE WHO
COMPROMISES, AT SOME POINT.
00:27:17.53\00:27:21.70
AND THEY WHOLE WORLD
BEGAN TO COMPROMISE THEIR FAITH.
00:27:21.70\00:27:24.47
AND IT SAYS GOD WAS
GRIEVED THAT HE MADE MAN.
00:27:24.47\00:27:27.98
ALL THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR HEARTS
WERE ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.
00:27:27.98\00:27:32.41
SO DID I HAVE YOU READ -
YEAH, YOU READ GALATIANS 3:26.
00:27:32.41\00:27:39.65
YOU DIDN'T READ IT YET?
OH, GO AHEAD, READ THAT.
00:27:39.65\00:27:42.06
THAT'S ANOTHER GOOD ONE.
>>FOR YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD
00:27:42.06\00:27:46.29
THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
JESUS. >>THAT'S VERY CLEAR.
00:27:46.29\00:27:49.66
THROUGH THE SPIRIT WE'RE SONS
OF GOD, THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
00:27:49.66\00:27:51.57
JESUS WE'RE SONS OF GOD,
AND SO THE SONS OF GOD WERE THE
00:27:51.57\00:27:54.67
DESCENDANTS OF SETH. I
KNOW I RODE THAT A LONG TIME,
00:27:54.67\00:27:57.94
BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
YOU DIDN'T GET CONFUSED ON IT.
00:27:57.94\00:28:00.48
SO THE RESULT WAS WICKEDNESS ON
THE EARTH, BUT WHAT DOES GOD DO
00:28:00.48\00:28:05.38
THEN? YOU CAN READ
IN GENESIS 6, VERSE
00:28:05.38\00:28:08.75
6, "THE LORD WAS SORRY THAT HE
MADE MAN," - THAT'S SO SAD THAT
00:28:08.75\00:28:12.65
GOD WAS SORRY - "...AND
HE WAS GRIEVED IN HIS HEART."
00:28:12.65\00:28:15.69
THINK ABOUT THAT -
GOD'S GRIEVED - SORRY.
00:28:15.69\00:28:19.73
THE LORD LOOKS DOWN AND SAYS,
"I WILL DESTROY MAN WHOM I HAVE
00:28:19.73\00:28:22.06
CREATED FROM THE FACE OF
THE EARTH, BOTH MAN AND BEAST,
00:28:22.06\00:28:24.73
CREEPING THING AND BIRDS OF THE
AIR, FOR I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE
00:28:24.73\00:28:26.94
MADE THEM." THEN,
RIGHT THERE, IT SAYS -
00:28:26.94\00:28:30.11
THIS IS THE GENEALOGY OR
THIS IS THE GENERATION OF NOAH.
00:28:30.11\00:28:33.61
"NOAH WAS A JUST MAN,
PERFECT IN HIS GENERATIONS."
00:28:33.61\00:28:36.58
WE'VE GOT TO PAUSE RIGHT THERE.
00:28:36.58\00:28:38.28
WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT CHRISTIAN
PERFECTION, I MIGHT NOT KNOW
00:28:38.28\00:28:41.85
EVERYTHING INVOLVED OR WHAT THAT
MEANS, BUT I KNOW THAT THE BIBLE
00:28:41.85\00:28:45.35
SAYS THERE WAS A
PERSON NAMED NOAH.
00:28:45.35\00:28:47.86
THERE WAS A PERSON NAMED
ZACHARIAH - AND ELIZABETH - IT
00:28:47.86\00:28:50.36
SAYS, 'THAT WALKED IN ALL THE
COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.' THERE
00:28:50.36\00:28:52.23
WAS A PERSON NAMED
JOB. AND GOD CALLS US TO
00:28:52.23\00:28:54.63
LIVE HOLY LIVES, RIGHT? >>AMEN.
00:28:54.63\00:28:57.50
>>AND BECAUSE OF THAT, HE FOUND
GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD.
00:28:57.50\00:29:01.64
NOAH WALKED WITH GOD
AS ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD.
00:29:01.64\00:29:05.71
AND THEN HE WAS
GOING TO SEPARATE.
00:29:05.71\00:29:08.48
HE BRINGS THIS FLOOD. NOW
THE FLOOD IS THE CULMINATION
00:29:08.48\00:29:12.88
OF CREATION IN REVERSE.
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IN CREATION,
00:29:12.88\00:29:18.25
GOD SEPARATES THE WATERS
ABOVE FROM THE WATERS BELOW.
00:29:18.25\00:29:21.36
WHEN THE FLOOD
COMES, THEY BECOME CONFUSED.
00:29:21.36\00:29:23.99
IN THE CREATION, GOD SEPARATES
THE BIRDS AND THE FISH.
00:29:23.99\00:29:26.96
IN THE FLOOD, YOU'VE
GOT A BIG HASH - A STEW -
00:29:26.96\00:29:29.63
OF THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:29:29.63\00:29:31.30
ALL THE SEPARATIONS THAT
GOD CREATED DURING CREATION THAT
00:29:31.30\00:29:35.40
WERE GOOD SEPARATIONS, DURING
THE PUNISHMENT AND THE FLOOD, IT
00:29:35.40\00:29:38.74
JUST BECOMES A
CACOPHONY OF CONFUSION.
00:29:38.74\00:29:44.98
BUT GOD BRINGS OUT A
REMNANT. GOD SAVED ADAM AND EVE.
00:29:44.98\00:29:50.82
THEN HE SAVED
SETH AND HIS FAMILY.
00:29:50.82\00:29:53.82
AND WHEN THE WORLD WAS
CORRUPT, THEN HE SAVES NOAH AND
00:29:53.82\00:29:57.03
REPOPULATES THE WORLD. YOU
NOTICE A REMNANT KEEPS BEING
00:29:57.03\00:30:00.36
TAKEN OFF. AND THEN AT THE TOWER
OF BABEL, THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE
00:30:00.36\00:30:04.43
GOD - GENESIS 11 - AND
MAN IS GOING TO SAVE HIMSELF.
00:30:04.43\00:30:12.34
GOD SAID, 'GO, DISPERSE, BE
FRUITFUL, MULTIPLY.' THEY DIDN'T
00:30:12.34\00:30:14.34
WANT TO DISPERSE.
'WHAT IF THERE'S A FLOOD?
00:30:14.34\00:30:15.88
LET'S MAKE A NAME FOR
OURSELVES.' AND THEY REFUSED -
00:30:15.88\00:30:19.45
THEY SAID, 'AND JUST IN CASE GOD
DOES FLOOD THE WORLD AGAIN, WE
00:30:19.45\00:30:22.32
CAN SAVE OURSELVES. WE'LL
BUILD A TOWER. WE'LL RUN TO THIS
00:30:22.32\00:30:24.69
TOWER, GET ABOVE THE WATERS...'
AND GOD CONFOUNDED THEIR
00:30:24.69\00:30:28.36
LANGUAGES AND THERE WAS
A GREAT SEPARATION AGAIN.
00:30:28.36\00:30:32.69
AND, THROUGH THE CONFUSION
OF TONGUES, THEY ALL SCATTERED.
00:30:32.69\00:30:35.20
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT ABRAHAM
AND THE CALL OF ABRAHAM .
00:30:35.20\00:30:38.40
NOW, IF YOU GO TO GENESIS
CHAPTER 12 - AND SOMEONE'S GOING
00:30:38.40\00:30:41.87
TO READ FOR ME, IN A
MOMENT, GENESIS 13:8.
00:30:41.87\00:30:46.07
IF YOU GO TO GENESIS 12, VERSES
1 THROUGH 3, "NOW THE LORD HAD
00:30:46.07\00:30:50.58
SAID UNTO ABRAM: 'GET THEE
OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM THY
00:30:50.58\00:30:53.31
KINDRED, AND FROM THY FATHER'S
HOUSES, UNTO A LAND THAT I WILL
00:30:53.31\00:30:56.89
SHEW THEE:'" - WHY IS
HE TELLING THEM TO GET OUT?
00:30:56.89\00:30:59.49
GOD SEPARATED NOAH BECAUSE
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS CORRUPT.
00:30:59.49\00:31:04.13
AS LONG AS SETH AND HIS FAMILY
WERE SEPARATED, THEY WERE THE
00:31:04.13\00:31:07.40
SONS OF GOD. GOD SEPARATED
NOAH TO SAVE THE WORLD.
00:31:07.40\00:31:12.47
NOW GOD HAS TO SEPARATE ABRAHAM
FROM THE TOWER OF BABEL. WHY?
00:31:12.47\00:31:16.34
IT SAYS THAT ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE EUPHRATES, THE LAND OF
00:31:16.34\00:31:19.31
MESOPOTAMIA, THEY
BEGAN TO SERVE IDOLS AGAIN.
00:31:19.31\00:31:22.98
SO GOD IS GOING
TO CALL OUT ABRAHAM.
00:31:22.98\00:31:24.65
AGAIN YOU HAVE THAT
SEPARATION HAPPENING.
00:31:24.65\00:31:26.98
"'GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY,
AND FROM THY KINDRED, AND FROM
00:31:26.98\00:31:29.42
THY FATHER'S HOUSES, UNTO A LAND
THAT I WILL SHEW THEE: AND I
00:31:29.42\00:31:33.62
WILL MAKE OF THEE A GREAT
NATION, AND I WILL BLESS THEE,
00:31:33.62\00:31:36.52
AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT;'" -
THIS IS DIFFICULT FOR ABRAHAM,
00:31:36.52\00:31:39.96
ON A COUPLE OF FRONTS.
FIRST OF ALL, IS IT HARD
00:31:39.96\00:31:44.10
TO LEAVE YOUR FAMILY?
DOESN'T JESUS SAY, 'UNLESS YOU
00:31:44.10\00:31:49.20
LOVE ME MORE THAN YOUR
FATHER, MOTHER, SISTER, BROTHER,
00:31:49.20\00:31:52.01
HUSBAND, WIFE,
YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF ME'?
00:31:52.01\00:31:54.24
SO HE'S CALLING ABRAHAM
TO SEPARATE FROM HIS FAMILY.
00:31:54.24\00:31:57.88
AND FAMILY, BACK IN BIBLE TIMES,
WERE PROBABLY CLOSE - CLOSER
00:31:57.88\00:32:02.62
TOGETHER THAN WE ARE IN
THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY WHERE
00:32:02.62\00:32:06.89
PEOPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, RIP SNORT
AROUND THE WORLD AND DO THEIR
00:32:06.89\00:32:09.26
OWN THING. THEY
GREW UP - FAMILIES
00:32:09.26\00:32:12.06
WERE VERY CLOSE. SO
THAT WAS ONE HARD THING.
00:32:12.06\00:32:17.50
THE OTHER HARD THING WAS
HE'S GOING TO A PLACE HE'S NEVER
00:32:17.50\00:32:20.30
BEEN. NOW, IF I WAS GOING TO
TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, I'D
00:32:20.30\00:32:22.57
GET ONLINE. I'D
FIND OUT WHAT I COULD.
00:32:22.57\00:32:24.21
I'D FIGURE OUT HOW TO PACK.
I'D LEARN ABOUT THE CUSTOMS AND
00:32:24.21\00:32:26.17
SEE WHAT THE CLIMATE WAS LIKE
AND - ABRAHAM COULDN'T DO THAT.
00:32:26.17\00:32:30.01
GOD'S SENDING HIM TO A
COUNTRY HE'S NEVER SEEN.
00:32:30.01\00:32:31.91
HE CAN'T SEE -
LOOK AT A PICTURE OF IT.
00:32:31.91\00:32:33.15
HE HAS TO GO BY FAITH.
HE'S GOING ON A JOURNEY
00:32:33.15\00:32:35.75
HE'S NEVER BEEN ON BEFORE.
BUT HE GIVES HIM A PROMISE.
00:32:35.75\00:32:39.12
HE SAYS, "'I WILL MAKE YOU A
GREAT NATION; I WILL BLESS YOU
00:32:39.12\00:32:42.29
AND MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT.'"
- NOW, HE AND SARAH HAVE NO
00:32:42.29\00:32:44.23
CHILDREN, AND GOD IS SAYING, 'IF
YOU GO OUT, I'M GOING TO BLESS
00:32:44.23\00:32:46.23
YOU.' SO THEY SAY, 'WE'LL GO.'
- "'AND I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO
00:32:46.23\00:32:50.03
BLESS YOU, AND I WILL CURSE HIM
WHO CURSES YOU;'" - AND THEN THE
00:32:50.03\00:32:52.17
GREATEST PROMISE THAT CAN BE
GIVEN TO ANY FAMILY IS GIVEN TO
00:32:52.17\00:32:54.80
THEM: - "'AND IN YOU" - THROUGH
YOUR SEED - "'ALL THE FAMILIES
00:32:54.80\00:32:58.57
OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.'"
- 'IT'LL HAPPEN THROUGH YOU.'
00:32:58.57\00:33:01.84
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
FOR ME GENESIS 13:8 - AND ARE
00:33:01.84\00:33:07.42
YOU READY FOR
THAT? GO AHEAD, TIM.
00:33:07.42\00:33:09.98
>>"SO ABRAHAM SAID TO LOT,
'PLEASE LET THERE BE NO STRIFE
00:33:09.98\00:33:14.09
BETWEEN YOU AND ME, AND BETWEEN
MY HERDSMEN AND YOUR HERDSMEN;
00:33:14.09\00:33:18.46
FOR WE ARE BRETHREN."
>>ALRIGHT, SO AFTER ABRAHAM
00:33:18.46\00:33:21.13
COMES INTO THE PROMISED
LAND - HE DOES TAKE PART OF
00:33:21.13\00:33:23.16
HIS FAMILY WITH HIM.
HE'S GOT HIS NEPHEW, BECAUSE
00:33:23.16\00:33:24.97
LOT'S FATHER HAD
DIED. HE SORT OF ADOPTS HIM.
00:33:24.97\00:33:28.00
BUT GOD BLESSED LOT AND HE
BLESSED ABRAHAM WITH SO MANY
00:33:28.00\00:33:30.74
FLOCKS AND HERDS - THEY ALL
HAD THEIR OWN SHEPHERDS AND THEY
00:33:30.74\00:33:35.74
BEGAN TO FIGHT. AND ABRAHAM
SAYS, LOOK, WE'RE BROTHERS.
00:33:35.74\00:33:42.22
IT'S BETTER THAT WE SEPARATE.'
I THINK ABRAHAM ALSO KNEW LOT'S
00:33:42.22\00:33:45.42
WIFE DIDN'T SHARE THE SAME
LOVE FOR GOD THAT SARAH HAD AND
00:33:45.42\00:33:51.76
THAT THINGS WERE
HAPPENING DIFFERENT.
00:33:51.76\00:33:53.60
AND HE SAID, 'LOOK, YOU GO TO
THE RIGHT, I'LL GO TO THE LEFT.
00:33:53.60\00:33:56.06
YOU PICK FIRST.'
WHERE DOES LOT CHOOSE TO GO?
00:33:56.06\00:33:58.67
>>TO SODOM. >>DOWN TO SODOM.
00:33:58.67\00:34:01.34
THEY START OUT CAMPING -
PITCHING THEIR TENT BY SODOM.
00:34:01.34\00:34:04.41
BY THE TIME THE ANGELS COME,
THEY'RE NOT IN A TENT ANYMORE,
00:34:04.41\00:34:06.91
THEY'RE LIVING IN TOWN IN A
HOUSE. DID YOU EVER NOTICE THAT?
00:34:06.91\00:34:10.45
HE STARTS OUT DOING THE
SHEPHERDS - HE'S JUST ON THE
00:34:10.45\00:34:12.31
OUTSKIRTS, BUT AS YOU GET CLOSER
AND CLOSER TO EVIL, PRETTY SOON
00:34:12.31\00:34:14.78
YOU'RE CAMPING DOWN
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
00:34:14.78\00:34:18.25
GOD SAYS - 2 CORINTHIANS 6:17
- YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS ALL
00:34:18.25\00:34:21.59
THROUGH OUR LESSON TODAY -
"THEREFORE 'COME OUT FROM AMONG
00:34:21.59\00:34:24.93
THEM AND BE
SEPARATE,' SAYS THE LORD.
00:34:24.93\00:34:27.66
'DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS
UNCLEAN, AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU.
00:34:27.66\00:34:30.97
I WILL BE A FATHER TO YOU,
AND YOU SHALL BE MY SONS AND
00:34:30.97\00:34:33.94
DAUGHTERS,'" - THERE YOU HAVE
SONS AND DAUGHTERS AGAIN, RIGHT?
00:34:33.94\00:34:36.60
WHO ARE THE ONES THAT ARE
THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD?
00:34:36.60\00:34:38.67
THE ONES WHO COME
OUT AND ARE SEPARATE.
00:34:38.67\00:34:40.64
SO THERE'S A SEPARATION THAT
HAPPENS FROM ABRAHAM FROM UR OF
00:34:40.64\00:34:45.05
THE CHALDEES - AND THEN THERE'S
A SEPARATION THAT HAPPENS FROM
00:34:45.05\00:34:47.32
ABRAHAM FROM LOT - DON'T HAVE
TIME TO COVER IT TODAY, BUT WHEN
00:34:47.32\00:34:52.45
HAGAR AND ISHMAEL - YOU REMEMBER
SARAH - I'VE GOT TO COVER A LOT
00:34:52.45\00:34:55.56
OF PATRIARCHS TODAY, SO
FORGIVE ME, I'M GOING QUICK.
00:34:55.56\00:34:57.76
I'VE GOT TO GET ALL THE
WAY TO JOSEPH FROM CAIN.
00:34:57.76\00:35:01.66
AND SO WHEN - WHEN, AT THE
URGING OF SARAH, HE TAKES HAGAR
00:35:01.66\00:35:07.17
- HAS A SON WITH HER - GOD SAYS,
'I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO DO THAT.
00:35:07.17\00:35:10.01
THAT WAS A LACK OF
FAITH. THAT WASN'T MY PLAN.
00:35:10.01\00:35:11.77
HE DOES SOMETHING
THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT.
00:35:11.77\00:35:15.14
HOW OFTEN DOES GOD
RECOMMEND DIVORCE IN THE BIBLE?
00:35:15.14\00:35:18.38
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S
WHAT HE DID WITH HAGAR.
00:35:18.38\00:35:21.08
IT SAYS, 'PUT
HER AWAY - SEPARATE'.
00:35:21.08\00:35:24.79
HE GAVE THEM A GIFT AND
HE SAID, 'YOU CAN'T STAY.
00:35:24.79\00:35:27.39
THERE'S GOING TO - IT'S GOING
TO RUIN THE FAITH.' HAGAR WAS AN
00:35:27.39\00:35:31.09
EGYPTIAN AND IT WAS
GOING TO CORRUPT THE INFLUENCE.
00:35:31.09\00:35:34.10
THE FATHER AND MOTHER OF ISAAC
NEEDED TO BE BOTH BELIEVERS IN
00:35:34.10\00:35:39.17
JEHOVAH. AND SO THERE'S ANOTHER
00:35:39.17\00:35:41.77
SEPARATION THAT HAPPENS
THERE. AND SO YOU JUST SEE THIS.
00:35:41.77\00:35:44.24
GOD IS SAYING TO HIS PEOPLE,
'SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO BE
00:35:44.24\00:35:46.24
SEPARATE FROM THE WORLD.
TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING.
00:35:46.24\00:35:49.34
COME OUT FROM AMONG
THEM.' FINALLY ABRAHAM GETS THE
00:35:49.34\00:35:52.51
ULTIMATE TEST AND HE SAYS -
AFTER HE SEPARATED - YOU GO TO
00:35:52.51\00:35:58.92
GENESIS 13 - THIS IS IN YOUR
LESSON - GENESIS 13:14, "AND THE
00:35:58.92\00:36:04.86
LORD SAID TO ABRAM, AFTER LOT
HAD SEPARATED FROM HIM: 'LIFT
00:36:04.86\00:36:08.70
YOUR EYES NOW AND LOOK FROM THE
PLACE WHERE YOU ARE - NORTHWARD,
00:36:08.70\00:36:12.43
SOUTHWARD, EASTWARD, AND
WESTWARD; FOR ALL THE LAND WHICH
00:36:12.43\00:36:15.27
YOU SEE I GIVE TO YOU
AND YOUR DESCENDANTS FOREVER.
00:36:15.27\00:36:18.71
AND I WILL MAKE YOUR DESCENDANTS
AS THE DUST OF THE EARTH; SO
00:36:18.71\00:36:21.34
THAT IF A MAN COULD NUMBER
THE DUST OF THE EARTH, THEN YOUR
00:36:21.34\00:36:23.98
DESCENDANTS ALSO COULD
BE NUMBERED.'" SO HE SAID,
00:36:23.98\00:36:26.41
'COME OUT. BE
SEPARATE. DON'T WORRY, I'M
00:36:26.41\00:36:28.55
GOING TO BLESS YOU. EVEN
THOUGH YOU - LOOKS LIKE LOT
00:36:28.55\00:36:30.32
TOOK THE BEST OF THE LAND, I'M
SAVING THE BEST FOR YOU AND I'LL
00:36:30.32\00:36:34.66
MULTIPLY YOUR DESCENDANTS.' THEN
YOU GET TO GENESIS CHAPTER 21,
00:36:34.66\00:36:40.10
22 AND HE ASKS HIM TO
MAKE A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION.
00:36:40.10\00:36:44.77
HE SAYS, 'TAKE YOUR SON - YOUR
ONLY SON WHO YOU LOVE AND BRING
00:36:44.77\00:36:50.01
HIM TO THE MOUNTAINS' - AND IT'S
ACTUALLY GENESIS 22 - AND OFFER
00:36:50.01\00:36:54.01
HIM THERE.' NOW WHY DID
GOD ASK ABRAHAM TO OFFER ISAAC?
00:36:54.01\00:36:58.71
THERE'S AN INTERESTING COMMENT
ON THIS IN PATRIARCHS AND
00:36:58.71\00:37:01.82
PROPHETS, 154 AND 155 - AND I'M
JUST TAKING SEGMENTS OF THIS TO
00:37:01.82\00:37:06.89
SAVE SOME TIME, "IT WAS TO
IMPRESS ABRAHAM'S MIND WITH THE
00:37:06.89\00:37:11.33
REALITY OF THE GOSPEL, AS WELL
AS TO TEST HIS FAITH, THAT GOD
00:37:11.33\00:37:15.60
COMMANDED HIM TO SLAY HIS
SON. THE AGONY WHICH HE ENDURED
00:37:15.60\00:37:19.47
DURING THE DARK DAYS OF THAT
FEARFUL TRIAL" - WHEN HE HAD
00:37:19.47\00:37:21.87
TO GO FROM HEBRON DOWN TO
THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH - "WAS
00:37:21.87\00:37:27.14
PERMITTED THAT HE MIGHT
UNDERSTAND, FROM HIS OWN
00:37:27.14\00:37:29.48
EXPERIENCE, SOMETHING OF THE
GREATNESS OF THE SACRIFICE MADE
00:37:29.48\00:37:32.35
BY THE INFINITE GOD
FOR MAN'S REDEMPTION.
00:37:32.35\00:37:35.25
THE SACRIFICE REQUIRED OF
ABRAHAM WAS NOT ALONE FOR HIS
00:37:35.25\00:37:39.25
OWN GOOD, NOR SOLELY FOR
THE BENEFIT OF SUCCEEDING
00:37:39.25\00:37:41.62
GENERATIONS, BUT IT WAS ALSO
FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF SINLESS
00:37:41.62\00:37:45.59
INTELLIGENCES OF
HEAVEN AND OTHER WORLDS."
00:37:45.59\00:37:49.00
SO ONE OF THE REASONS GOD ASKED
ABRAHAM TO DO WHAT HE DID WAS
00:37:49.00\00:37:52.10
FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF UNFALLEN
CREATURES - ANGELS - EVEN
00:37:52.10\00:37:57.07
INTELLIGENCES OF
OTHER WORLDS. WHY?
00:37:57.07\00:37:59.87
BECAUSE ABRAHAM HAD SHOWN A LACK
OF FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES WITH
00:37:59.87\00:38:03.58
WHAT HE DID WITH SARAH AND -
HAGAR, RATHER - HE DIDN'T TRUST
00:38:03.58\00:38:07.45
- HE HAD TO GO THE SECOND
STEP NOW AND SHOW 'I REALLY HAVE
00:38:07.45\00:38:10.42
LEARNED TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD,
SO MUCH SO THAT, NOW THAT YOU'VE
00:38:10.42\00:38:14.26
GIVEN ME THIS PROMISED SON, I AM
WILLING TO EVEN PUT HIM ON THE
00:38:14.26\00:38:17.19
ALTAR - PUT EVERYTHING ON THE
ALTAR FOR GOD.' HE DEMONSTRATED
00:38:17.19\00:38:21.10
THIS ALMOST SUPERNATURAL FAITH
- BELIEVING GOD COULD EVEN RAISE
00:38:21.10\00:38:24.23
HIM UP. "BECAUSE
HE'D SHOWN THIS LACK OF
00:38:24.23\00:38:28.54
FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES, SATAN
HAD ACCUSED HIM, BEFORE ANGELS
00:38:28.54\00:38:31.64
AND BEFORE GOD, OF HAVING FAILED
TO COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS
00:38:31.64\00:38:35.21
OF THE COVENANT AND AS
BEING UNWORTHY OF ITS BLESSINGS.
00:38:35.21\00:38:38.51
GOD DESIRED TO PROVE HIS LOYALTY
- THE LOYALTY OF THIS SERVANT
00:38:38.51\00:38:41.98
BEFORE ALL OF HEAVEN TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT NOTHING LESS
00:38:41.98\00:38:45.22
THAN PERFECT OBEDIENCE CAN BE
ACCEPTED AND TO OPEN, MORE FULLY
00:38:45.22\00:38:48.79
BEFORE THEM, THE
PLAN OF SALVATION."
00:38:48.79\00:38:50.96
DID ABRAHAM UNDERSTAND THE PLAN
OF SALVATION IN A NEW WAY WHEN
00:38:50.96\00:38:54.56
GOD ASKED HIM TO OFFER HIS SON?
00:38:54.56\00:38:57.23
YES, NOTHING COULD BE
MORE DIFFICULT THAN THAT.
00:38:57.23\00:39:01.24
ALRIGHT, JACOB AND
ESAU - JUMPING ON HERE.
00:39:01.24\00:39:05.64
YOU KNOW, IN GENESIS 25 -
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ GENESIS
00:39:05.64\00:39:09.68
31:24 IN JUST A MOMENT - IN
GENESIS 25 IT SAYS THAT WHEN
00:39:09.68\00:39:15.58
RACHEL WAS - I'M SORRY - WHEN
REBEKAH WAS PREGNANT, IT SAYS,
00:39:15.58\00:39:20.26
'THE CHILDREN
STRUGGLED WITHIN HER.'
00:39:20.26\00:39:22.86
NOW WHO WAS
STRUGGLING WITHIN HER?
00:39:22.86\00:39:27.00
>>JACOB - >>JACOB AND ESAU.
00:39:27.00\00:39:28.70
JACOB IS A SYMBOL
FOR THE SPIRIT AND FAITH.
00:39:28.70\00:39:33.54
ESAU WAS A SYMBOL FOR THE
CARNAL NATURE AND THE FLESH.
00:39:33.54\00:39:37.77
JACOB WANTED THE BIRTHRIGHT.
ESAU WANTED THE POTTAGE.
00:39:37.77\00:39:42.04
WHAT DOES A WOMAN
REPRESENT? >>CHURCH.
00:39:42.04\00:39:45.18
>>ISN'T THE CHURCH FILLED
WITH PEOPLE WHO FEEL A STRUGGLE
00:39:45.18\00:39:47.82
BETWEEN THE SPIRIT
AND THE FLESH INSIDE?
00:39:47.82\00:39:50.39
YEAH, WE'VE GOT BOTH. YOU
CAN READ IN HEBREWS 12:16,
00:39:50.39\00:39:54.69
"LEST THERE BE ANY FORNICATOR
OR PROFANE PERSON LIKE ESAU, WHO
00:39:54.69\00:39:59.43
FOR ONE MORSEL OF
FOOD SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT."
00:39:59.43\00:40:02.70
DO PEOPLE STILL, TODAY,
SOMETIMES SELL THEIR ETERNAL
00:40:02.70\00:40:04.87
BIRTHRIGHT BECAUSE OF TEMPORARY
PASSING PLEASURE? YEAH.
00:40:04.87\00:40:11.24
GENESIS 25:33, "THEN JACOB SAID,
'SWEAR TO ME AS OF THIS DAY.'" -
00:40:11.24\00:40:16.51
HE SAID, 'YOU WANT SOME
OF MY PORRIDGE? SWEAR TO ME.
00:40:16.51\00:40:19.31
MAKE A COVENANT.' - "AND
SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT TO JACOB.
00:40:19.31\00:40:22.65
AND JACOB GAVE ESAU BREAD
AND STEW OF LENTILS; THEN HE ATE
00:40:22.65\00:40:26.42
AND DRANK,
AROSE, AND WENT HIS WAY.
00:40:26.42\00:40:28.66
THUS ESAU
DESPISED HIS BIRTHRIGHT."
00:40:28.66\00:40:31.29
HOW DID EVE AND ADAM
GET INTO TROUBLE WITH SIN?
00:40:31.29\00:40:35.36
DID IT HAVE TO DO WITH
EATING A FORBIDDEN MEAL?
00:40:35.36\00:40:38.60
HOW DID ESAU LOSE HIS
BIRTHRIGHT? HE JUST GOT SO
00:40:38.60\00:40:43.51
HUNGRY HE WAS READY TO SELL IT.
WHAT IS THE DEVIL GOING TO DO IN
00:40:43.51\00:40:46.91
THE LAST DAYS WHEN
PEOPLE CAN'T BUY AND SELL?
00:40:46.91\00:40:50.31
WILL THERE BE OTHER PEOPLE, YOU
THINK, IN THE FUTURE, WHO WILL
00:40:50.31\00:40:53.52
BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR
OBEDIENCE TO GOD FOR A MEAL?
00:40:53.52\00:41:00.66
AND IF WE CAN'T EVEN CONTROL
WHAT WE EAT AND WHEN WE EAT NOW,
00:41:00.66\00:41:05.76
WHAT ARE THE ODDS WE'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO DENY OURSELVES AND
00:41:05.76\00:41:08.46
FAST FOR OUR
FAITH WHEN WE'RE TESTED?
00:41:08.46\00:41:12.67
ESAU WAS CONTROLLED BY
HIS STOMACH AND HE SOLD HIS
00:41:12.67\00:41:15.30
BIRTHRIGHT.
NOW, HE DID IT TWICE.
00:41:15.30\00:41:19.31
JACOB WANTED THE BIRTHRIGHT
- THE BIRTHRIGHT - AND HE - I
00:41:19.31\00:41:25.41
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT ELMER
FUDD, 'YOU WASCALLY WABBITS' -
00:41:25.41\00:41:28.58
SOMETIMES I HAVE
TROUBLE SAYING 'THE BIRTHWHITE'.
00:41:28.58\00:41:30.55
(LAUGHTER) AND HE - HE WANTED
THE - THE BIRTHRIGHT, BUT HE
00:41:30.55\00:41:35.59
WASN'T SURE THAT HE WAS GOING TO
KEEP HIS FIRST PROMISE SO, WHEN
00:41:35.59\00:41:37.89
ISAAC GOT OLD AND HE'S BLIND AND
HE WAS GOING TO BLESS HIS SONS,
00:41:37.89\00:41:41.23
AND HE SAID, 'ESAU, GO
GET VENISON LIKE I LOVE.
00:41:41.23\00:41:44.00
YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE IT.
AND GO OUT AND HUNT AND FIND
00:41:44.00\00:41:46.07
THAT WILD DEER AND MAKE IT FOR
ME AND I'LL EAT THAT - THAT MEAL
00:41:46.07\00:41:50.01
AND THEN I'LL BLESS YOU WITH THE
BLESSING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
00:41:50.01\00:41:52.44
HOW MUCH LONGER I'M GOING
TO LIVE AND I NEED TO LAY HANDS
00:41:52.44\00:41:53.91
ON YOU AND BLESS YOU WITH THE
INSPIRED BLESSING OF THE FIRST
00:41:53.91\00:41:56.58
BORN.' AND SO ESAU, HE SAID,
'WELL, I KNOW I SOLD IT TO MY
00:41:56.58\00:42:01.78
BROTHER, BUT WHO'S
GOING TO REMEMBER THAT?'
00:42:01.78\00:42:04.72
AND HE GOES OUT TO GO HUNTING
- RACHEL OVERHEAD - ISAAC WAS
00:42:04.72\00:42:08.59
BLIND - HE DIDN'T KNOW
HIS WIFE WAS LISTENING.
00:42:08.59\00:42:10.89
REBEKAH - I'M SORRY -
OVERHEARD WHAT ISAAC HAD SAID.
00:42:10.89\00:42:15.16
SHE TELLS JACOB,
'DON'T ARGUE WITH ME.
00:42:15.16\00:42:17.57
YOU NEED TO GET THE BLESSING.
THERE'S A SPIRITUAL BLESSING.
00:42:17.57\00:42:20.00
WHEN HE LAYS HANDS ON YOU,
THAT'S GOING TO SEAL THE DEAL.
00:42:20.00\00:42:22.80
YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE
BLESSING OF THE FIRSTBORN.
00:42:22.80\00:42:25.04
HERE'S WHAT YOU DO. PUT
ON YOUR BROTHER'S CLOTHES.
00:42:25.04\00:42:29.38
HE'S A HAIRY MAN. I'M
GOING TO SACRIFICE TWO KIDS.
00:42:29.38\00:42:33.28
ONE WILL BE A MEAL,
THE OTHER WILL COVER YOU.
00:42:33.28\00:42:36.22
AND YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THE FUR ON
YOUR HANDS AND BEHIND YOUR NECK
00:42:36.22\00:42:41.06
AND YOU BRING IN THIS MEAL
TO HIM AND YOU TAKE THE NAME OF
00:42:41.06\00:42:44.96
YOUR BROTHER AND YOU'RE GOING
TO GET THE BLESSING OF THE FIRST
00:42:44.96\00:42:48.20
BORN BECAUSE YOUR FATHER WILL
CLOSE HIS EYES AND HE WILL SMELL
00:42:48.20\00:42:51.93
YOU AND HE WILL FEEL YOU AND
EVEN THOUGH YOUR VOICE SOUNDS A
00:42:51.93\00:42:57.11
LITTLE DIFFERENT, YOU'RE
GOING TO GET THE BLESSING OF THE
00:42:57.11\00:42:59.04
ELDEST BROTHER.' NOW, DO YOU
KNOW, IN THAT STORY - Y'ALL KNOW
00:42:59.04\00:43:02.18
THE STORY OF JACOB? IN THAT
STORY YOU'VE GOT THE GOSPEL.
00:43:02.18\00:43:07.85
A LAMB DIES AND
COVERS HIS HANDS.
00:43:07.85\00:43:09.58
SO INSTEAD OF BEING THE HANDS OF
JACOB, WHO DOESN'T DESERVE THE
00:43:09.58\00:43:11.72
BLESSING, HE
FEELS THE OLDER BROTHER.
00:43:11.72\00:43:13.99
DOES THE FATHER SEE
US ROBED WITH CHRIST?
00:43:13.99\00:43:18.63
SHE PUT THE ROBES - THE BEST
ROBES OF ESAU - ON JACOB AND IT
00:43:18.63\00:43:24.73
- HE SMELLED THE FIELD
WHERE ESAU LIKED TO HUNT.
00:43:24.73\00:43:28.10
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A SACRIFICE
- THE SMELL USED TO GO FROM THE
00:43:28.10\00:43:31.17
SACRIFICE INTO THE
PRESENCE OF GOD, IT SAYS.
00:43:31.17\00:43:34.44
AND SO HE SAYS, 'THE VOICE
IS LIKE THE VOICE OF JACOB, BUT
00:43:34.44\00:43:37.61
YOU'VE GOT THE HANDS.' DOES
JESUS HAVE MARKS ON HIS HANDS
00:43:37.61\00:43:41.25
THAT THE FATHER SEES?
THE HANDS AND THE NECK - THE
00:43:41.25\00:43:45.22
BACK OF THE NECK - HE
FEELS THEM. HE SMELLS HIM.
00:43:45.22\00:43:47.96
HE SAYS, 'I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
THE BLESSING OF THE FIRSTBORN.'
00:43:47.96\00:43:51.16
HE EATS THE SACRIFICE.
THE SACRIFICE IS ACCEPTED.
00:43:51.16\00:43:55.00
HE GIVES HIM THE BLESSING OF THE
FIRST BORN, EVEN THOUGH HE IS
00:43:55.00\00:43:57.27
NOT. THAT'S A WONDERFUL
ILLUSTRATION OF THE PLAN OF
00:43:57.27\00:44:00.24
SALVATION. SO HERE YOU FIND
THESE BROTHERS, AGAIN, JACOB AND
00:44:00.24\00:44:03.84
ESAU. NOW HOW DOES ESAU
RESPOND? HE'S NOT VERY HAPPY.
00:44:03.84\00:44:07.58
YOU GO TO GENESIS 40 - 27, VERSE
41 - WHEN ESAU FINDS OUT HE
00:44:07.58\00:44:12.58
"...HATED JACOB BECAUSE OF THE
BLESSING WITH WHICH HIS FATHER
00:44:12.58\00:44:15.25
BLESSED HIM, AND ESAU SAID IN
HIS HEART, 'THE DAYS OF MOURNING
00:44:15.25\00:44:18.42
FOR MY FATHER ARE AT HAND;'"
- HE SAID, 'HE WON'T LIVE MUCH
00:44:18.42\00:44:20.49
LONGER' - "'THEN I WILL KILL MY
BROTHER JACOB.'" WHAT DID CAIN
00:44:20.49\00:44:24.49
DO? 'I WILL KILL MY BROTHER.'
ALRIGHT, YOU CAN SEE IT
00:44:24.49\00:44:29.86
HAPPENING ALL THIS TIME.
NOW JACOB, THE DECEPTION THAT HE
00:44:29.86\00:44:34.04
PRACTICED KIND
OF BACKFIRES ON HIM.
00:44:34.04\00:44:36.00
HE GETS TO
EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING.
00:44:36.00\00:44:38.01
GO AHEAD, READ
GENESIS 31:24 FOR US, CAROL.
00:44:38.01\00:44:42.18
>>"BUT GOD HAD COME TO LABAN THE
SYRIAN IN A DREAM BY NIGHT, AND
00:44:42.18\00:44:46.45
SAID TO HIM, 'BE CAREFUL THAT
YOU SPEAK TO JACOB NEITHER GOOD
00:44:46.45\00:44:50.75
NOR BAD.'" >>SO
AFTER JACOB HE GOES TO
00:44:50.75\00:44:53.82
MARRY A GIRL THAT BELIEVES IN
JEHOVAH. HE LEAVES TOWN BECAUSE
00:44:53.82\00:44:57.99
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
GOD. WE LEARNED FROM GENESIS 6.
00:44:57.99\00:45:01.40
LABAN COMES CHASING AFTER HIM
BUT GOD STOPS LABAN IN A DREAM.
00:45:01.40\00:45:05.87
HE SAYS, 'DON'T SPEAK TO HIM
GOOD OR EVIL.' AND WHAT HE MEANT
00:45:05.87\00:45:07.60
WAS EVERY TIME LABAN
SPOKE GOOD HE WAS LYING.
00:45:07.60\00:45:10.14
HE'D MAKE ALL KINDS OF NICE
PROMISES, BUT HE DIDN'T KEEP
00:45:10.14\00:45:12.24
THEM. JACOB
SAYS, 'YOU'VE CHANGED
00:45:12.24\00:45:13.58
MY WAGES TEN TIMES.' HE
SAID, 'DON'T SPEAK EVIL.
00:45:13.58\00:45:15.58
DON'T SPEAK GOOD.' HE
SAYS, 'YOU DON'T HARM HIM.
00:45:15.58\00:45:18.35
DON'T MAKE PROMISES TO HIM.
HE'S MINE.' GOD TOLD JACOB AND
00:45:18.35\00:45:23.35
HIS FAMILY TO
SEPARATE FROM LABAN.
00:45:23.35\00:45:25.79
DID LABAN HAVE
IDOLS IN HIS FAMILY?
00:45:25.79\00:45:28.12
DID IT AFFECT HIS
DAUGHTER? REMEMBER, RACHEL STOLE
00:45:28.12\00:45:30.16
HER FATHER'S IDOLS? AND
SO YOU SEE THE SAME THING -
00:45:30.16\00:45:33.80
'SEPARATE AGAIN - I'M
CALLING YOU OUT TO BE SEPARATE.'
00:45:33.80\00:45:37.43
JACOB COMES IN
THE PROMISED LAND, BUT
00:45:37.43\00:45:40.10
NOW YOU'VE GOT
JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS.
00:45:40.10\00:45:42.27
THEY DIDN'T LIKE
JOSEPH VERY MUCH.
00:45:42.27\00:45:44.94
FIRST OF ALL, JACOB PUTS
A BEAUTIFUL ROBE ON JOSEPH.
00:45:44.94\00:45:49.44
HE FAVORS JOSEPH BECAUSE THE
OLDEST WAS NORMALLY WHO? REUBEN.
00:45:49.44\00:45:56.35
BUT REUBEN, IF YOU READ IT,
REUBEN HAD A FORBIDDEN INTERLUDE
00:45:56.35\00:45:59.82
WITH HIS
STEP-MOTHER AND JACOB SAID.
00:45:59.82\00:46:01.89
'BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO GET THE BLESSING OF THE
00:46:01.89\00:46:03.39
FIRST BORN AND
EVERYONE'S WONDERING,
00:46:03.39\00:46:04.83
'WHO'S GOING TO GET IT?'
AND WHEN THEY SAW JACOB PUT THIS
00:46:04.83\00:46:07.86
BEAUTIFUL COAT ON JOSEPH,
THE BROTHERS BECAME JEALOUS.
00:46:07.86\00:46:10.83
'JOSEPH, HE'S
SECOND TO THE YOUNGEST.
00:46:10.83\00:46:12.83
YOU'RE GOING TO
MAKE HIM THE FIRST BORN?'
00:46:12.83\00:46:15.14
AND THEN JOSEPH
STARTED HAVING DREAMS.
00:46:15.14\00:46:16.67
'I DREAMT YOU'RE ALL GOING TO
BOW DOWN TO ME.' 'I DREAMT' - I
00:46:16.67\00:46:19.71
WOULDN'T HAVE SHARED THOSE
DREAMS THE WAY THEY WERE ACTING.
00:46:19.71\00:46:21.91
BUT HE COULDN'T HELP IT.
HE SAID, 'THEY'RE DIVINE.
00:46:21.91\00:46:23.78
DON'T YOU WANT TO HEAR
IT?' HIS BROTHERS HATED HIM
00:46:23.78\00:46:26.82
AND WHAT DOES IT SAY? YOU
CAN READ IN GENESIS 37:19,
00:46:26.82\00:46:34.22
"THEN THEY SAID TO ONE ANOTHER,
'LOOK, THIS DREAMER IS COMING!'"
00:46:34.22\00:46:36.36
- HE COMES LOOKING FOR HIS
BROTHERS - TO SEEK THEM - HE
00:46:36.36\00:46:38.86
COMES FROM THE FATHER
SEEKING HIS LOST BROTHERS.
00:46:38.86\00:46:41.03
DID JESUS - WAS JESUS SENT
FROM THE FATHER TO SEEK HIS LOST
00:46:41.03\00:46:44.87
CHILDREN? AND WHAT DID THEY SAY
00:46:44.87\00:46:46.80
WHEN THEY SAW
THEM? 'HERE'S THE HEIR.
00:46:46.80\00:46:49.20
LET US KILL HIM ADD
THE INHERITANCE IS OURS.
00:46:49.20\00:46:52.17
YOU REMEMBER THE
PARABLE JESUS TOLD?
00:46:52.17\00:46:53.88
'THIS IS THE HEIR.
LET US KILL HIM AND
00:46:53.88\00:46:55.28
THE INHERITANCE IS OURS.'
AND WHAT DID THE BROTHERS SAY?
00:46:55.28\00:46:57.65
I'M READING IN GENESIS CHAPTER
37, VERSE 19, "'COME THEREFORE,
00:46:57.65\00:47:02.88
LET US NOW KILL HIM"
- WAS HE THEIR BROTHER?
00:47:02.88\00:47:04.92
- "AND CAST HIM INTO SOME
PIT; AND WE SHALL SAY 'SOME WILD
00:47:04.92\00:47:07.19
BEAST HAS DEVOURED HIM.' WE
SHALL SEE WHAT WILL BECOME OF
00:47:07.19\00:47:09.56
HIS DREAMS!'" -
'THAT HE'LL RULE OVER US.'
00:47:09.56\00:47:11.93
NOW DO YOU SEE A
PATTERN HERE? OF FAMILY FEUDS?
00:47:11.93\00:47:15.46
OF BROTHERS - RIVALRY BETWEEN
BROTHERS - THERE'S A RIVALRY
00:47:15.46\00:47:18.63
BETWEEN CAIN AND ABEL - BETWEEN
JACOB AND ESAU - BETWEEN JOSEPH
00:47:18.63\00:47:22.87
AND HIS BROTHERS. AND
YOU CAN SEE IT GOING ON
00:47:22.87\00:47:26.27
SEVERAL OTHER
PLACES THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:47:26.27\00:47:28.14
YOU'VE GOT THIS SIBLING RIVALRY.
YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS SAYS?
00:47:28.14\00:47:31.91
MATTHEW 10:21 - MATTHEW 10:21
- "NOW BROTHER WILL DELIVER UP
00:47:31.91\00:47:36.62
BROTHER TO DEATH, AND A FATHER
HIS CHILD; AND CHILDREN WILL
00:47:36.62\00:47:40.56
RISE UP AGAINST PARENTS AND
CAUSE THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
00:47:40.56\00:47:43.69
AND YOU WILL BE HATED
BY ALL FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
00:47:43.69\00:47:47.20
BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO
THE END WILL BE SAVED."
00:47:47.20\00:47:50.17
CHRIST SAID, 'MAN'S FOES WILL
BE THOSE OF HIS OWN HOUSE.' READ
00:47:50.17\00:47:54.94
JOHN 16:2, "THEY WILL PUT YOU
OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUES;" - IT'S
00:47:54.94\00:47:58.37
TALKING ABOUT FRIENDLY FIRE.
HE'S SAYING, 'YOU COULD BE PUT
00:47:58.37\00:48:00.88
OUT OF THE CHURCH.' FOR
THE DISCIPLES, IT MEANT PUT
00:48:00.88\00:48:03.85
OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE.
FOR US TODAY, YOU MIGHT BE
00:48:03.85\00:48:05.91
KICKED OUT OF THE CHURCH BECAUSE
OF YOUR FAITH, BEFORE IT'S OVER.
00:48:05.91\00:48:09.22
'YES, THE TIME IS COMING THAT
WHOEVER KILLS YOU WILL THINK
00:48:09.22\00:48:12.42
THAT HE'S OFFERING SERVICE TO
GOD.' BROTHER KILLING BROTHER.
00:48:12.42\00:48:17.56
YOU EVER READ ABOUT ABIMELECH
- WHO KILLED ALL OF HIS BROTHERS
00:48:17.56\00:48:21.13
AND ONE ESCAPES? AND
ATHELIAH TRIES TO KILL ALL
00:48:21.13\00:48:25.73
OF THE SONS OF DAVID - BUT
ONE ESCAPES. THERE'S A REMNANT.
00:48:25.73\00:48:29.34
GOD CONTINUES TO
PRESERVE A REMNANT.
00:48:29.34\00:48:32.21
AND JOSEPH, THEY THOUGHT THEY
KILLED HIM, BUT HE SURVIVED AND
00:48:32.21\00:48:36.68
LO AND BEHOLD, THEY DID.
YOU KNOW, THE STORY OF JOSEPH'S
00:48:36.68\00:48:39.08
PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST STORIES
IN THE BIBLE THAT OUTLINES
00:48:39.08\00:48:41.25
THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
HERE THEY SELL THEIR BROTHER
00:48:41.25\00:48:44.19
FOR THE PRICE OF A
SLAVE - FOR SILVER.
00:48:44.19\00:48:46.22
NOW WITH JESUS
IT'S THIRTY PIECES.
00:48:46.22\00:48:48.62
WITH JOSEPH IT'S TWENTY PIECES,
BUT THAT WAS A THOUSAND YEARS
00:48:48.62\00:48:50.59
LATER AND THERE'S
INFLATION FOR A SLAVE.
00:48:50.59\00:48:52.66
(LAUGHTER) THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENED BACK THEN.
00:48:52.66\00:48:54.23
AND THEY TAKE HIS ROBE
AND THEY COVER IT WITH BLOOD.
00:48:54.23\00:48:57.40
THEY PRESENT IT TO THE
FATHER TO COVER THEIR SIN.
00:48:57.40\00:49:00.10
A BLOOD-STAINED ROBE IS
PRESENTED TO THE FATHER TO COVER
00:49:00.10\00:49:03.61
THEIR SIN. THEY
COME TO THEIR BROTHER
00:49:03.61\00:49:06.41
SEEKING BREAD AND
THEY DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS.
00:49:06.41\00:49:08.91
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE BREAD
OF LIFE.' EVERYONE HAS TO GO TO
00:49:08.91\00:49:11.38
JOSEPH FOR BREAD.
JOSEPH KNOWS THEM BUT
00:49:11.38\00:49:14.18
THEY DON'T KNOW HIM.
'HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN; HIS
00:49:14.18\00:49:16.08
OWN DIDN'T EVEN KNOW.'
JOSEPH FORGIVES HIS BROTHERS.
00:49:16.08\00:49:21.16
HE FINALLY REVEALS
HIMSELF TO HIS BROTHERS.
00:49:21.16\00:49:23.53
JOSEPH IS SEPARATED FROM HIS
FATHER FOR MANY YEARS BECAUSE OF
00:49:23.53\00:49:26.83
HIS BROTHERS' TREACHERY.
JESUS IS SEPARATED FROM THE
00:49:26.83\00:49:30.13
FATHER BECAUSE HE CAME INTO
THIS WORLD TO SAVE MUCH LIFE.
00:49:30.13\00:49:33.57
THE STORY OF JOSEPH IS JUST ONE
OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORIES
00:49:33.57\00:49:36.74
OF THE LIFE OF
JESUS AND HIS SAVING US.
00:49:36.74\00:49:40.94
JOSEPH'S IN JAIL -
WAS CHRIST IN PRISON?
00:49:40.94\00:49:44.48
JOSEPH'S IN JAIL AND HE'S
SURROUNDED ON THE RIGHT AND THE
00:49:44.48\00:49:46.65
LEFT BY TWO MEN
THAT ARE CONDEMNED.
00:49:46.65\00:49:50.65
AND JOSEPH TELLS THEM, 'ONE
OF YOU WILL LIVE AND ONE OF YOU
00:49:50.65\00:49:53.12
WILL DIE.' JESUS IS ON THE CROSS
BETWEEN TWO THIEVES, HE SAYS,
00:49:53.12\00:49:56.76
'ONE OF YOU
LIVES. ONE OF YOU DIES.'
00:49:56.76\00:49:58.99
ONE HAD FAITH. ONE DID NOT.
00:49:58.99\00:50:00.76
YOU JUST GO THROUGH THE WHOLE
EXPERIENCE OF JOSEPH AND YOU CAN
00:50:00.76\00:50:02.83
SEE THE WHOLE GOSPEL
THERE. DO YOU SEE IT?
00:50:02.83\00:50:04.97
OR DO I - AM I THE ONLY ONE
HAVING THESE HALLUCINATIONS?
00:50:04.97\00:50:08.90
SO ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU CAN
SEE THIS PATTERN WHERE GOD IS
00:50:08.90\00:50:12.21
SEPARATING - HE'S SEPARATING HIS
PEOPLE AND HE KEEPS CALLING OUT
00:50:12.21\00:50:18.05
A REMNANT TO SAVE THEM AND
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE IN
00:50:18.05\00:50:22.65
THE STORY OF GENESIS 6, WHERE HE
SAID, 'WHEN THE SONS OF GOD SAW
00:50:22.65\00:50:26.35
THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN THEY TOOK
THEM WIVES OF ALL THEY CHOSE.'
00:50:26.35\00:50:30.56
WHAT GOT SAMSON INTO
TROUBLE? I DON'T WANT TO TAKE -
00:50:30.56\00:50:34.30
PASTOR ROSS IS GOING TO
TALK ABOUT JUDGES NEXT WEEK.
00:50:34.30\00:50:36.97
I DON'T WANT TO STEAL HIS
THUNDER, BUT HE SAID TO HIS
00:50:36.97\00:50:38.83
PARENTS - HE SAID, 'I WANT A
PHILISTINE.' THEY SAID, 'CAN'T
00:50:38.83\00:50:41.00
YOU FIND A GIRL
FROM YOUR OWN PEOPLE?'
00:50:41.00\00:50:43.27
'OH, GET HER FOR
ME. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:50:43.27\00:50:44.97
SHE PLEASETH ME WELL.' AND
INSTEAD OF THINKING WITH HIS
00:50:44.97\00:50:48.54
SPIRIT, HE WAS
THINKING CARNALLY.
00:50:48.54\00:50:52.05
AND THE LORD TELLS US THAT THERE
NEEDS TO BE A SEPARATION WHERE
00:50:52.05\00:50:54.48
GOD STAYS FIRST - A BATTLE
BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND THE FLESH
00:50:54.48\00:50:57.32
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.

FOR OUR SABBATH
SCHOOL STUDY HOUR.
00:51:19.77\00:51:22.34
(MUSIC) >>AMAZING
FACTS - CHANGED LIVES.
00:51:22.34\00:51:33.56
>>I GREW UP HERE
IN NEW YORK, CITY.
00:51:33.56\00:51:35.92
I GUESS DEALING WITH ALL THE
TEMPTATIONS YOU WOULD HAVE IN A
00:51:35.92\00:51:39.23
BIG CITY - EVERYTHING THAT YOU
COULD IMAGINE THAT YOU COULD RUN
00:51:39.23\00:51:42.86
INTO: DRUGS,
CRIME - WAS ALWAYS HERE.
00:51:42.86\00:51:48.17
WHEN I WAS AT A YOUNG AGE I
ACTUALLY GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH
00:51:48.17\00:51:51.04
THE LAW AND MY ONLY OUT WAS TO
JOIN THE MILITARY, AT THE TIME,
00:51:51.04\00:51:55.91
IN ORDER NOT TO DO TIME.
00:51:55.91\00:51:58.18
SO I LEFT NEW YORK AND TRAVELED
THE WORLD A LITTLE BIT WHILE I
00:51:58.18\00:52:02.02
WAS IN THE MILITARY.
EVENTUALLY I CAME BACK.
00:52:02.02\00:52:06.52
HAVING GROWN UP AS A HIP-HOP
KID, I EVENTUALLY FOUND MYSELF
00:52:06.52\00:52:09.79
WORKING IN THE
MUSIC BUSINESS, ACTUALLY.
00:52:09.79\00:52:12.43
I WORKED AT A COUPLE OF
MAJOR RADIO STATIONS - HIP-HOP,
00:52:12.43\00:52:15.16
REGGAE. I WAS AT ALL THE BIG
00:52:15.16\00:52:16.77
REGGAE SHOWS WORKING THEM.
NO MATTER WHAT I DID TO TRY AND
00:52:16.77\00:52:19.63
SATISFY MYSELF,
NOTHING REALLY WORKED.
00:52:19.63\00:52:24.41
I REMEMBER I USED TO PLAY
AT THIS ONE CLUB IN MANHATTAN.
00:52:24.41\00:52:27.34
WE USED TO PLAY
THERE EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT.
00:52:27.34\00:52:30.05
SO I CAME HOME ONE SATURDAY
MORNING AFTER LEAVING THE CLUB
00:52:30.05\00:52:34.15
AND I TURNED ON THE VIDEO
CHANNEL LIKE I USUALLY DO.
00:52:34.15\00:52:37.69
THERE WAS THIS GUY ON THE
VIDEO CHANNEL TALKING AND HE WAS
00:52:37.69\00:52:39.89
DEFINITELY OUT OF PLACE, BUT THE
THINGS THAT HE WAS SAYING JUST
00:52:39.89\00:52:44.53
TOTALLY AMAZED ME. I
HAD NEVER HEARD ANYONE SPEAK
00:52:44.53\00:52:47.86
ABOUT THE BIBLE
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
00:52:47.86\00:52:50.47
SO I STARTED COMING HOME EARLY
ON SATURDAY MORNINGS JUST TO
00:52:50.47\00:52:53.34
CATCH THIS SHOW. I
FOUND THE THINGS THAT HE WAS
00:52:53.34\00:52:55.90
SAYING ABSOLUTELY AMAZING,
TO THE POINT WHERE IT LITERALLY
00:52:55.90\00:53:01.08
MADE ME STOP AND START TO THINK
ABOUT HOW I WAS LIVING MY LIFE.
00:53:01.08\00:53:06.05
SO I FOUND THAT ALL OF THESE
THINGS THAT I HAD BEEN DOING TO
00:53:06.05\00:53:08.45
TRY AND FIND HAPPINESS WERE
ACTUALLY NOT MAKING ME HAPPY AT
00:53:08.45\00:53:12.32
ALL BUT WERE REALLY
JUST LEAVING ME EMPTY INSIDE.
00:53:12.32\00:53:16.26
WHEN I STARTED READING THE BIBLE
AND IT STARTED TO MAKE SENSE, I
00:53:16.26\00:53:19.69
STARTED TO MAKE CHANGES.
I EVEN TRIED TO KEEP THE
00:53:19.69\00:53:23.16
SABBATH, WHICH I
FAILED AT MISERABLY.
00:53:23.16\00:53:26.57
SO I WAS ACTUALLY INVITED
BY AMAZING FACTS TO GO TO SEE A
00:53:26.57\00:53:30.21
LIVE SERIES AT ONE OF THE LOCAL
CHURCHES, BUT AFTER GOING THE
00:53:30.21\00:53:34.68
FIRST NIGHT, I ENDED UP GOING
ANOTHER NIGHT AND ANOTHER NIGHT.
00:53:34.68\00:53:38.28
I STAYED FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES.
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT I MADE A
00:53:38.28\00:53:41.08
DECISION THAT CHANGED THE REST
OF MY LIFE FOREVER. I GAVE MY
00:53:41.08\00:53:44.35
LIFE TO CHRIST AND EVERYTHING
WAS DIFFERENT AFTER THAT.
00:53:44.35\00:53:48.06
I MADE A DECISION TO GIVE UP THE
MUSIC BUSINESS, STOP HANGING OUT
00:53:48.06\00:53:50.86
AT ALL OF THE CLUBS - I MADE A
DECISION THAT WAS ETERNAL FOR ME
00:53:50.86\00:53:54.73
AND FOR MY FAMILY. I
STARTED GOING TO CHURCH.
00:53:54.73\00:53:59.83
I GOT A POSITION IN CHURCH WHERE
I WAS ACTUALLY IN CHARGE OF THE
00:53:59.83\00:54:03.20
PERSONAL MINISTRIES DEPARTMENT
AND THE SAME AMAZING FACTS
00:54:03.20\00:54:07.48
STUDIES THAT CHANGED MY LIFE, I
ACTUALLY GOT TO SHARE THEM WITH
00:54:07.48\00:54:11.08
PEOPLE AND SIT DOWN WITH
THEM AND TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:54:11.08\00:54:16.15
(MUSIC)
00:54:16.15\00:54:32.07
>>YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD
THE EXPRESSION BEFORE, 'IF YOU
00:54:32.07\00:54:33.90
DON'T LIKE THE WEATHER IN TEXAS,
JUST WAIT; IT'LL CHANGE.' AND
00:54:33.90\00:54:37.54
YOU'VE ALSO HEARD, 'EVERYTHING
IS BIGGER IN TEXAS - THE
00:54:37.54\00:54:40.24
RANCHES, THE BELT BUCKLES,
THE COWBOY HATS...' BUT THE MOST
00:54:40.24\00:54:44.48
FAMOUS SLOGAN ABOUT
TEXAS IS 'REMEMBER THE ALAMO!'
00:54:44.48\00:54:52.35
THE VIOLENT BATTLES AND BRAVERY
OF ICONIC HEROES, HAVE BEEN THE
00:54:52.35\00:54:55.69
STUFF OF LEGENDS, THROUGHOUT
WHICH ENTIRE CULTURES OFTEN DRAW
00:54:55.69\00:54:58.76
THEIR IDENTITY AND PRIDE, EVEN
LONG AFTER CENTURIES ARE PAST.
00:54:58.76\00:55:02.60
AND IN TEXAS, THE STORY OF THE
ALAMO HAS BEEN A RALLYING CRY OF
00:55:02.60\00:55:06.13
TEXAS
INDEPENDENCE FOR 200 YEARS.
00:55:06.13\00:55:09.24
ONE REASON THAT TEXANS LOVE TO
BRAG THAT EVERYTHING IS BIGGER
00:55:09.24\00:55:12.27
IN TEXAS IS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE
TEXAS IS THE LARGEST OF THE
00:55:12.27\00:55:15.68
LOWER 48 U.S. STATES.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS
00:55:15.68\00:55:19.51
MASSIVE STATE GOT ITS BEGINNING
IN A VERY SMALL CHRISTIAN
00:55:19.51\00:55:23.18
MISSION DURING THE
BATTLE OF THE ALAMO.
00:55:23.18\00:55:26.65
EVERY YEAR THIS FAMOUS MISSION
MUSEUM RECEIVES OVER TWO AND A
00:55:26.65\00:55:29.69
HALF MILLION VISITORS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE PLANET, THAT ARE
00:55:29.69\00:55:32.96
EAGER TO GET A GOOD
LOOK AT THIS LEGENDARY SITE.
00:55:32.96\00:55:36.60
THE ALAMO PLAYED A CRITICAL
ROLE IN THE TEXAS REVOLUTION.
00:55:36.60\00:55:40.24
IN DECEMBER 1835, TEXANS
AND TEJANO VOLUNTEERS BATTLED
00:55:40.24\00:55:44.57
MEXICAN TROOPS QUARTERED IN
THE CITY, FORCING GENERAL MARTIN
00:55:44.57\00:55:47.84
PERFECTO DE COS TO SURRENDER.
THE VICTORIOUS VOLUNTEERS
00:55:47.84\00:55:51.28
THEN OCCUPIED THE ALAMO
AND STRENGTHENED ITS DEFENSES.
00:55:51.28\00:55:54.98
FAMOUS AMERICANS LIKE DAVY
CROCKETT, JIM BOWIE, AND COLONEL
00:55:54.98\00:55:58.65
WILLIAM TRAVIS MADE THIS
LOCATION - THIS ANCIENT MISSION
00:55:58.65\00:56:02.16
- THE BEACHHEAD - THE LAST
STAND IN AN EPIC BATTLE TO WIN
00:56:02.16\00:56:06.19
INDEPENDENCE OF
TEXAS FROM MEXICO.
00:56:06.19\00:56:09.46
ON FEBRUARY 23, 1836, THE
ARRIVAL OF GENERAL ANTONIO LOPEZ
00:56:09.46\00:56:14.57
SANTA ANA NEARLY CAUGHT
THEM BY SURPRISE. UNDAUNTED, THE
00:56:14.57\00:56:18.71
TEXANS AND TEJANOS
PREPARED TO DEFEND THE ALAMO.
00:56:18.71\00:56:22.08
FOR THIS SMALL RAG-TAG GROUP OF
REBELS, THE YOUNGEST OF WHOM WAS
00:56:22.08\00:56:25.05
ABOUT SIXTEEN AND THE OLDEST
SEVENTY-FIVE, WAS AGAINST THE
00:56:25.05\00:56:28.22
WELL-TRAINED AND
ORGANIZED MEXICAN ARMY OF SIX
00:56:28.22\00:56:30.95
THOUSAND-PLUS SOLDIERS.
IT WAS A FIERCE AND LOPSIDED
00:56:30.95\00:56:34.16
BATTLE, YET THE SMALL FORCE
OF REBELS WAS ABLE TO REPEL THE
00:56:34.16\00:56:37.66
TROOPS FOR THIRTEEN DAYS.
LEGEND HOLDS THAT WITH THE
00:56:37.66\00:56:42.46
POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL HELP
FADING, COLONEL TRAVIS DREW A
00:56:42.46\00:56:45.97
LINE IN THE GROUND WITH A SWORD
AND ASKED ANY MAN WILLING TO
00:56:45.97\00:56:49.57
STAY AND FIGHT TO
STEP OVER THE LINE.
00:56:49.57\00:56:52.17
ALL EXCEPT ONE CROSSED OVER.
00:56:52.17\00:56:55.31
THE FINAL ASSAULT
CAME BEFORE DAYBREAK.
00:56:55.31\00:56:57.61
ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 6, 1836,
THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE SIEGE,
00:56:57.61\00:57:02.32
CANON AND SMALL ARMS FIRE
FROM INSIDE THE ALAMO BEAT BACK
00:57:02.32\00:57:05.99
SEVERAL MEXICAN ATTACKS.
REGROUPING, SANTA ANA'S SOLDIERS
00:57:05.99\00:57:10.09
SCALED THE WALLS AND RUSHED
INTO THE COMPOUND. THE DESPERATE
00:57:10.09\00:57:14.10
STRUGGLE CONTINUED UNTIL
THE DEFENDERS WERE OVERWHELMED.
00:57:14.10\00:57:17.57
BY SUNRISE, THE BATTLE HAD ENDED
AND THE GARRISON WAS SLAIN.
00:57:17.57\00:57:21.64
YOU KNOW, HISTORIANS MAY DEBATE
SOME OF THE DETAILS REGARDING
00:57:21.64\00:57:24.34
THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO,
BUT NONE OF THEM QUESTION THE
00:57:24.34\00:57:27.14
INCREDIBLE SACRIFICE THAT WAS
MADE AND THE COURAGE THAT WAS
00:57:27.14\00:57:29.88
DISPLAYED DURING THAT INTENSE
CONFLICT. THEY MADE THE ULTIMATE
00:57:29.88\00:57:34.02
SACRIFICE - GIVING THEIR LIVES -
AND THIS IS WHY THE STORY OF THE
00:57:34.02\00:57:37.15
ALAMO IS SO INSPIRING
AND SO ENCOURAGING. YOU KNOW
00:57:37.15\00:57:41.06
AND THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE IS
SO INSPIRING, FRIENDS, BECAUSE
00:57:41.06\00:57:43.46
SOMEONE WAS WILLING TO MAKE THE
ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AND GIVE HIS
00:57:43.46\00:57:46.09
LIFE SO YOU COULD HAVE
FREEDOM AND ETERNAL LIFE.
00:57:46.09\00:57:49.80
DON'T YOU THINK YOU COULD TRUST
YOUR LIFE TO A FRIEND LIKE THAT,
00:57:49.80\00:57:52.50
THAT WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING?
00:57:52.50\00:57:54.04
THE STORY OF THE GOSPEL IS
A STORY OF COURAGE AND HOPE.
00:57:54.04\00:57:57.14
IT'S THE STORY OF GOD WHO WILL
NEVER LEAVE YOU WITHOUT DEFENSE
00:57:57.14\00:57:59.81
AND SUPPORT. JESUS
IS THE GOOD NEWS AND
00:57:59.81\00:58:03.18
THE GOSPEL IS A
STORY WORTH REMEMBERING.
