00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:21.280
I'm your host, Gary Daniels, and we are seeking the Bible's answers to various topics, in which the Bible has the final say in the matter.
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:29.519
Joining us tonight are our beloved three panel speakers, Bob Grandi, Chris McCann, and Carl von Herenga.
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.479

So at the half hour mark, we'll open up the lines for callers.
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.239
We'd like to hear your on-topic questions.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.799
All right, so let's go to our panel.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.280
And today's topic is the inheritance, and we'll start with you, Bob.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.560
Thanks, Gary.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:25.359
Yeah, in the Bible, the idea of inheritance can point to many different things, but um I'm just going to talk about two important spiritual inheritances.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:37.280
First, inheritance in the Bible can be defined by saying that all of God's elect people inherit the Lord Jesus Christ and eternal life.
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:52.000
And this is because God chose his elect people before the foundation of the world, and his choosing was based exclusively on his good pleasure, not anything that mankind has done.
00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:04.400
And in eternity past, Christ died and resurrected at the foundation of the world, and by this action he became the Son of God.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.960
And this finished work paid for all the sins of all the elect who he had chosen.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:24.719
Then after Christ created the universe and this world, he was obligated to give the Holy Spirit and salvation and eternal life to everyone that was elected or chosen.
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.599
That is, everyone whose name was written in the Lamb's book of life.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:44.159
And this inheritance of Jesus Christ and eternal life for every elect individual first began when God gave him or her a new resurrected soul at some point during their physical life.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.199
And we read about this in uh Ephesians 1, verse 11.
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:50.800
Now read that.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:03:04.479
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:18.240
And the last part of verse 13 in Ephesians 1 describes the receiving of our new resurrected soul as being sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:30.400
And then verse 14 tells us that that Holy Spirit of promise is the earnest, which is an old English word meaning down payment.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:40.719
It's the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory.
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:59.520
So the promise spoken of here is the certainty that God will complete all of his elect's inherited gift of eternal life when each of his elect are either resurrected or raptured on the last day of Earth's existence.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:09.520
We have learned from the Bible that there is abundant evidence pointing to that last day occurring sometime in the year 2033.
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:21.360
And on that day, all of God's elect will receive their new spiritual bodies and will live and dwell forevermore in the new heaven and new earth with our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.399
And what an incredibly tremendous inheritance that would be.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.360
And we don't deserve it, not anybody.
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:09.680
That means he made us born again, unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.319
And that's talking about it in eternity past.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.959
I'm sorry, chapter one, verses three and four.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:06:08.399
And lastly, in Matthew 19, verse 29, and everyone that hath forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my name's sake shall receive in hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.240
So that's the first uh way of looking at inheritance.
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:22.000
The second way is it an inheritance in the Bible can also be defined by saying that the Lord Jesus Christ inherits his elect people.
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.720
And there's a few verses I want to read that point this out.
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:40.160
In Psalm 33, verse 12, Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:58.319
And Psalm 74, verse 2, remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased of old, the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, this Mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:06.240
So the Bible teaches that God's elect people inherit Christ and eternal life as a free gift of God's grace.
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:15.360
And at the same time, Christ inherits all of his elect people based on the truth that he paid for all of their sins at the foundation of the world.
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:34.720
And uh lastly, there's there's a verse uh in in Revelation 21 that kind of uh uh looks at both ways uh of this biblical inheritance that I've been talking about in Revelation 21, 6 and 7.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.439
And he said unto me, It is done.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.720
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.959
I will give unto him that is the thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:54.160
He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:05.600
And like I mentioned before, there's other ways of looking at biblical inheritance, but I'm sure we'll get into that as we, you know, through tonight's discussion, but I'll give it back to you guys at this point.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.439
Thanks, Bob.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.759
Uh I like the fact that the inheritance is legally given.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.040
It it has to be righteously obtained.
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:25.279
And uh it really is a blessing that God's people obtain an inheritance that they did not work for, that Christ, on behalf of his elect, you know, purchased.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:33.519
It's a purchased inheritance on behalf of those uh who did not inherit that by their own works.
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.559
It was Christ's work.
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:42.000
Yeah, it's a great mystery that that it's by his good pleasure, you know, that he he did this.
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.039
And uh that's very mysterious to me.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.399
You mentioned um that Christ uh uh inherits his elect a little earlier.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:57.279
Uh Numbers 18 talks about um how uh how God is our inheritance.
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:58.480
It says it also as well.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.519
It says Jehovah spake unto Aaron, thou shalt have no inheritance in the land, neither shalt thou have any part among them.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.879
I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:16.080
And that also reminded me of um what remember God told Abraham in Genesis, I I am thy exceeding great reward.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.639
I think that's Genesis fifteen.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.320
Yeah, he says uh Genesis 15.1.
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.519
It doesn't use the word inheritance, but just reminded me of it.
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:36.480
After these things, the word of Jehovah came unto Abraham in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abraham, I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward.
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.279
I just wanted to add to the what he had said to that.
00:09:41.919 --> 00:10:11.120
Yeah, yeah, I want to add something to what Bob was saying too in Ephesians 1, um, where in verse 11 uh it says, In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that ye believed, and of course we believed uh because God gave us um a heart to believe.
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.440
Um we're saved by the faith of Christ, and afterward we believe.
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:28.159
After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, and and to be sealed, the uh 12,000 of the twelve tribes were sealed in Revelation 7.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:34.960
Uh, it it has to do with being sealed by the Holy Spirit in salvation.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:40.480
When someone becomes saved, we're we're given the Holy Spirit.
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.120
A lot of people think that's salvation.
00:10:43.279 --> 00:11:40.399
That's, you know, I have the Spirit of God, but that, as Bob pointed out, is the down payment of the whole package, and that's why it says you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession that is our bodies, our bodies, until they're like Romans 8 talks about the redemption of the body, and and until then we have the spirit um as a down payment on on the whole purchase that God has purchased, which is us, you're bought with a price, and uh it's it's meant to comfort us, to encourage us, if he who has begun a good work in you will finish it in the day of the Lord Jesus.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.440
So uh uh in this life it's only begun and it will be finished.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:55.200
The word promise, that Holy Spirit, you're a seal with that Holy Spirit of promise, um which is the earnest of our inheritance.
00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:02.000
I I found a few verses where promise and inheritance go together in Hebrews six.
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:17.840
In Hebrews six, it says, starting in verse twelve, that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.759
So uh faith and patience.
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.279
Revelation thirteen, here is the faith and the patience of the saints.
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:27.519
Uh-huh.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:33.279
Revelation 14 here is the patience and faith of the saints, the two tribulations.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.360
Chapter 13 is the Great Tribulation, Chapter 14 is Judgment Day.
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:48.559
So um the followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.159
What's been the problem with people who have gone back since May 21, 2011?
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:12.559
No patience, no faith, but but also not waiting on the Lord, just jumping to conclusions, wrong um deadly conclusions, and and and that's why you have to have faith.
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:35.519
You have to have uh faith and patience, like it says in Hebrews ten, um in verse thirty-five, cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward, for you have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God ye might receive the promise.
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.480
For yet a little while and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:47.200
Now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:53.200
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but to them that believe to the saving of the soul.
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.399
So we have need of patience that we might receive the promise.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.600
What promise?
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.799
What promise?
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:04.639
The inheritance that that through faith and patience inherit the promises.
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:20.879
Well not only that, not only all of God's promises, but they're all kind of wrapped up in the inheritance, as Bob also mentioned, Matthew 19, 28, uh the the inheritance of everlasting life.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.519
That's the promise of God that we will receive everlasting life.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:53.679
In Hebrews 9, in verse 15, it says, and for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:04.559
Again, promise, eternal inheritance, and it's tied to the mediator of the New Testament, who by means of death, right?
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:09.840
There there has to be someone who dies before you get the inheritance.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.159
If no one dies, you don't get the inheritance.
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:29.039
And it is the death of Christ, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, that has provided his people throughout the whole history of the world, the promise of the inheritance.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:35.440
Now, um, that is Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were saved.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:44.000
Noah found grace in the eyes of God, and they were forgiven their sins because the blood was shed at the foundation of the world.
00:15:44.240 --> 00:16:07.120
But still, it's been a promise throughout all ages, uh, which is why at the end of Hebrews 11, God makes reference to all the people of faith, and he says in verse 39 and 40, and these all having obtained a good report through faith, receive not the promise.
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:14.960
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.120
They will not be made perfect, that is, receive a new resurrected body.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:35.759
Without us, all on the last day will receive the fullness of the promise concerning the uh eternal inheritance.
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:46.720
We will be equipped with a new resurrected body that is uh sufficient or or capable of eternal life, of living forevermore.
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:53.120
And um and and and so uh I have a few more verses, but uh do you want to say something, Bob?
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.559
No, I was just coughing.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.559
Okay.
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.200
I I was doing the old mute thing with my finger.
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.559
How do I shut this guy up?
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.480
No, not at all.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:27.279
But you know, I I I'm not sure if this is a direct relation, but when I think about uh the brothers, Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, and the the birthright, the birthright, and and how the the birthright was so sought after, and Jacob supplanted his brother for it.
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.119
And it and it also reminds me of the prodigal son.
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:36.480
He goes to his father and he says, You know, give me the goods that befalleth unto me.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.640
And he divided them his portion.
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:56.240
Now I looked at the words, and it's not the inheritance, but spiritually, I I'm not sure what that would represent, but it seems to fall in line that the the inheritance has a lot to do with the gift of salvation, and and they're seeking that, or at least or at least a a picture of that.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.519
Would you would you agree, uh, Chris and and gentlemen?
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:01.920
Yeah, I was I was gonna talk about that, yeah.
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.279
With Esau.
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.599
Were you gonna talk about Esau?
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.480
I was gonna I was gonna mention both if nobody else.
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.599
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.240
Go ahead.
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:22.960
Well, no, I mean, yeah, like like uh with with uh the prodigal son, uh he took everything that I guess he was expecting to get when his father died, and he said, give it to me now.
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:34.079
And you know, and uh and then he went off and and spent it on riotous living, and then uh yeah, I I I think that that does have to do with uh inheritance.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:42.640
I mean, the the parable points to the fact that he realized, you know, oh here I am eating what the swine eat.
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:49.359
Let me go back to my father's house where you know even the servants have uh are are being well taken care of.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.920
And I think bred to the full.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:01.359
Yeah, so yeah, it's a beautiful picture of salvation, uh, that where he he really uh was, he did receive the inheritance.
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.880
Uh true inheritance.
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.000
The true inheritance of it was pointing to salvation.
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.039
Yeah, Chris, if you want to talk about Jacob and Esau, go ahead.
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:53.839
Well, I I was just gonna mention Hebrews 12, um, where God is referring to Esau, and he says um in verse 15, looking diligently, lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled, lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright, for you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
00:19:54.480 --> 00:20:03.839
So there God does say that had to do with with the inheritance uh and and he's rejected.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:09.920
And the word the word rejected is um translated mostly disallowed.
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.880
Now the the headstone on the corner was was disallowed.
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:20.400
So the nation of Israel didn't won Christ, and they rejected him.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:32.720
And so he was Esau was disallowed, and he found no place of repentance, and and God is telling us that's what he was after with the tears.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.960
And Father was no blessing for me, even for me.
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:54.960
So that would tie in with seeking wouldn't that tie in with seeking salvation and a time where it's too late because he's he's sought he's seeking it carefully with tears, isn't that what like the rich man essentially was doing, not with tears, but he was looking for that drop of salvation.
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:55.920
Yeah.
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.640
Yeah, I think it does tie in um with the time at the end.
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:08.000
Um because um oh what was what was I gonna say?
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:15.920
Yeah, uh I I I think it does relate the the oh the separation of the wheat and the tares.
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:22.000
Um you know, God um rejected the tares.
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.200
Oh, the fish too, I think.
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.960
Um where is that?
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:29.920
Yeah.
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:38.160
There's also a separation of the fish in the New Testament where he they catch the fish and they're separating the good from the bad.
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.119
Yeah.
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:48.960
Uh Chris, while while you're looking there, there's a uh there's another set of verses that have at length promise and inheritance.
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:55.359
I thought I'd uh read it uh in Galatians three, verses fifteen to eighteen.
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.119
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:07.200
Though it's Be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth thereto.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:20.559
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made, he saith not, and to seeds as of many, but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:38.000
And this I say that the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul that it should make the promise of non-effect.
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:47.359
For if the inheritance of the law, I'm sorry, for if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise.
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.440
But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.039
So there it is.
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.119
The inheritance and the promise are linked.
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.400
And it's not by the law, it's by promise.
00:22:59.359 --> 00:22:59.920
Interesting.
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:10.319
Uh, if I may, it reminds me of Ruth the Moabites, where the other man, the other kinsman, he didn't want to mar his own inheritance.
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.160
So he said, I cannot redeem it.
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.839
Let me let me read that verse.
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.200
This is Ruth chapter four, verse six.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:24.559
And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance.
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:30.000
Redeem thou my right to thyself, for I cannot redeem it.
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:39.440
And I like the fact that you know, sometimes we do mourn or many times we mourn about folks who are not true elect children of God.
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:51.519
But when I read stories like this, it really it really shows how someone who's who's not truly saved does not want the salvation of Jehovah and they despise it.
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:58.799
And and and it's in our nature, it's our nature to re to to to be an offense to the truth.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:07.359
And so as we do uh sorrow and grieve uh for folks, you we also know that, and and this has happened many times.
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:16.480
You could be at a an outing and you see it maybe a lovely couple, or you just have a conversation, and if it goes to the Bible, it gets awkward very quickly.
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:39.200
And you can feel the energy change, and and even though we mourn for folks, we can see that we despise the inheritance by nature, unless God unless God purchases and promises to perform that good work in us, to fulfill His His Word, we don't want the inheritance, just like the kinsmen here who cannot redeem it.
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:46.880
And Esau uh with the bowl of porridge, he he despised it.
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:56.480
He definitely despised the birthright, and the birthright was tied to the blessing, and God relates that to the inheritance.
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.759
Um is that you, Carl?
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.400
Uh yeah, I want to just check on your mic because it sounds a little bit distant.
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:16.960
Yeah, I just wanted I just wanted to see if it was connected to uh it's been like this the past few uh Yeah, it's not connected um to the roadcaster.
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.839
Let's try that.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:21.599
Yeah, that's much better.
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.599
Oh, you can hear me?
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.279
That's better, much better.
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.839
Yeah, it sounds distant.
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:29.599
Yeah, this is much better.
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:31.039
All right, well, thanks.
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.000
I I thought I had a wonders of modern technology.
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.240
Oh, that's normally Carl, but Carl's here.
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.359
He wouldn't do that.
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:41.279
The hearing ear.
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:53.039
Um the the promise um is also mentioned in um Galatians three.
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.839
Galatians three, uh, along with being an heir.
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:04.079
It says in Galatians three, well, actually, why don't we go back Genesis 17?
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:29.759
Genesis 15, then Genesis 17, and we'll see um the promise that God gave to Abram in Genesis fifteen, in verse um in uh verse five, and he brought him forth abroad and said, Look now toward heaven and tell the stars if thou be able to number them.
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.720
And he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.720
And he believed in Jehovah, and he counted it to him for righteousness.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:43.759
And um that's complicated.
00:26:44.240 --> 00:27:11.920
It is not Abraham's belief that was counted to him for righteousness, but God counted the faith of Christ, the righteousness of Christ, the atonement of Christ already performed to Abram for righteousness, and he said unto him, I am Jehovah that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it.
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:17.680
And he said, Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:20.319
And then he lays out the sacrifices.
00:27:20.640 --> 00:28:03.920
But notice that God brought Abram out of the land of Babylon, Ur of the Chaldees, to inherit the land, and the land of Canaan in Genesis 17 is said to be an everlasting land in verses seven and eight, and I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee, in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, and I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:15.039
So God gives Abram in chapter 17, he's Abraham, the promise of the land for an everlasting possession.
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.319
And he told them this when he came out of Ver of the Chaldees.
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:38.079
He came out of Babylon, and uh and and it's uh not long after that uh 25 years, uh actually 75 uh 24 years, because he's 99, and then next year Isaac will be born when he's 100.
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.799
So um that relates to what God has done with us.
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:58.319
Come out, come out of the churches, uh, and in the day of judgment, come out of Babylon, which is the world, be separate, in order to prepare us for receiving the inheritance.
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:14.880
And um what I was trying to think of earlier, there there's a verse, I can't I still can't think of it, but it indicates that that God will um he will reject like he did Esau.
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.640
He will reject the tares, let's say.
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.559
And then he'll have his people who are the weak.
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:36.720
And the the promise is not for the ungodly, it's not for the unsaved, even if they're professed Christian, it is for the truly saved.
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:46.079
And so um, when when this is put together, you know, properly, when you put the verses together, the end of the church age makes sense.
00:29:46.400 --> 00:30:05.279
It is God dividing, dividing uh wheat from tear to gather his sons, his children, for the receiving of the promise uh of the new heaven and new earth.
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.799
Well, thank you, Chris.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.079
Let me just pause really to check in with the audience.
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.839
We're gonna open up the program after your complete thought, Chris.
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.119
Please go ahead, Chris.
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:21.039
Well, yeah, uh going back to Genesis 17, the promise, to Abraham and his seed.
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.799
That's mentioned a few times.
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:28.400
And in Galatians 3, uh, I think we're familiar with this.
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:36.400
God says in verse 16, now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:46.960
He saith not and to seeds as of many, but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:58.160
So the promises made to Abraham and to his seed singular, which is Christ, Christ receives the inheritance.
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:07.119
He receives the inheritance of the land of Canaan, uh for an everlasting possession.
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:20.559
And then in Galatians 3, verses 28 and 29, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bon nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:32.799
And if he be Christ, then are ye, and that's plural, plural you, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.759
And the heir receives the inheritance.
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:50.400
So in Christ, all that he has named, predestinated, like Ephesians 1 tells us, elected to salvation, are counted for the seed in him.
00:31:50.960 --> 00:32:03.839
So he's really the one who inherits, and we inherit in him the promises, and the promises are a new heaven, new earth.
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:33.599
And um, by the way, in the Old Testament, the word promise, uh, for example, in Psalm 105, in verse 42, it says there, uh, for he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant, and he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness, and gave them the lands of the heathen, the land of Canaan.
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:38.079
And they inherited the labor of the people.
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:41.119
So he remembered his holy promise.
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:55.279
We can see how that fits in with all these other verses, the promise of the inheritance, and the word promise in Psalm 105.42 is debar, the Hebrew word for word.
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.759
He remembered his holy word.
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:07.200
He remembered the Bible as the holy word of God, and that relates all scripture to God's promises.
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:21.920
It's not just specifically what he has said regarding the land of Canaan uh or or um other things, but it's everything.
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.119
Everything uh comes under the heading of the promises of God.
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:37.200
Everything that he has said that requires fulfillment is a promise, and he will fulfill the whole thing.
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.960
He'll fulfill everything.
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:45.680
Uh and he well, he's fulfilled a great many of those things now, and just just a few things remain.
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:56.400
It is also interesting, David, that he left at age seventy-five, because we know that's the uh a factor of 4200 years that he's leaving Ur of the Caladis, right?
00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:07.519
To into the the promised land at age seventy-five, and then exactly 4200 years or 75 times 56 takes you to 2033.
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:11.119
You know, so from his birth to when he turns 75.
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.199
Right.
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.480
So it so uh he's born 2167.
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:21.679
He turns 75 um 2092.
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:25.360
Yes, 2092.
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:30.960
So you're saying from 2092, there's a series of 75 years?
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.039
Yeah, it takes you all the way to 2033.
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.239
Again and again and again and again until you get to 2033.
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:36.880
Right.
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:41.199
Yeah, it's just a factor, because 75 in is a factor of 4200.
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.480
You know, just like just like his age of 173.
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.920
So so 2092 wouldn't be 4200.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.480
Well, it would you start from his birth, so when you turn 75, that would be the first set.
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:56.239
Then you go another 75.
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:59.599
You do that for a total of 56 times from his birth.
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:06.719
So the very first 75-year increment is when he leaves to to Canaan.
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.119
Oh, yeah, 50 56.
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.519
Yeah, and that breaks down to seven times eight.
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:14.079
Mm-hmm.
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:19.519
Seven times times eight or fifty-six, yeah, seven times eight.
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:29.280
Well, that that's amazing that these series, these run-ons, the that's like the fifth or the sixth one, at least.
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.840
Yeah, yeah, but and it a lot of it's centered right around 2167.
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:43.199
From 2167, right, you go to 2033, and it is uh a breakdown of 40.
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.440
I I don't know the exact breakdown.
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:53.440
25, 105, 105 times 40, which means from 2167, you go 40 years, 40 years, 40 years.
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.800
105 times, you end up at 2033, and that's when Abraham's born.
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:13.119
But at the same starting point that you're now bringing up, goes 75, and then when he's 75, you keep going, keep going, 75, 75, all the way to 2033 again.
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.280
And tell him the other one, Carl.
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:16.719
175.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.599
Right.
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.159
175 times 24, right?
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:21.440
Well, well, why?
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.880
Why 175?
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:24.719
Because that's his entire lifespan.
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:25.519
How long he died.
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:26.800
He died, yeah.
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:32.400
He died in 1992 BC, at age 175.
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.719
So it's not that we're selecting the number.
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.320
That that's what's amazing.
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.280
God's selecting the number because it's his death age, 175.
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.000
Then you go 175, 175, how many times?
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:48.960
24.
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.639
24 times, and and you land on 2033.
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.719
It's 23 from his death.
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.079
24 from his birth.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.000
God gives us 175.
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:06.239
We follow that number, and we come to this year that that so much else is focused on.
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:10.400
Uh yeah, I'm really amazed by these series of numbers.
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:18.239
All of this is uh all of this is shown on on our website on the on the uh count on the uh calendar that you've created, right?
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:20.639
Yeah, it's on the timeline page, yeah.
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.440
Uh the the 75 is interesting because I noticed Mr.
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:29.039
Camping had pointed that out in the book, and he said he left Ur of the Chaldes, which is Babylon.
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:34.079
So that was spiritually leaving the world, going into the promised land, Canaan.
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.840
But just think about that for a moment.
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.320
That time path leads you to 2033.
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:40.639
The crossing, that's the inheritance, right?
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:40.960
Yeah.
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:46.239
Where there's biblical evidence we leave this world and go to the actual kingdom of God.
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:49.519
So yeah, uh that's what's amazing.
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:51.840
And here's a here's a minor point.
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:56.480
I'm sure you're this term you're gonna feel like it's familiar.
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:58.559
The daughters of Zalafahad.
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:08.719
I know that rings a bell, but these these daughters, uh unfortunately, their father died, and they weren't married, and they wanted to have the inheritance.
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:10.800
They didn't have any sons, right?
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.760
That's right.
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.079
Yeah.
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:16.000
And there was a a legal possession that had to take place.
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.599
And since there were no sons, they had to marry.
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:24.800
They had to marry that was lawful in order for them to obtain within their tribe.
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:31.519
But interestingly enough, the daughters or that phrase Elapahad is used eight times.
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:42.159
And it just reminds me of of God's elect, who are hopefully, if I understand correctly, are a picture of these daughters who are to obtain an inheritance.
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.440
And it's listed um eight times in the Bible.
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:46.159
Interesting.
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.880
I think that's probably correct that they're a picture of the elect.
00:38:52.320 --> 00:39:01.599
Yeah, there's another uh there's a verse in Matthew 5, uh, verse 5, it says, Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.039
And you know, the word will inherit the land of Canaan.
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:06.320
Sorry?
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:07.039
I'm sorry.
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.760
I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:09.039
No, no, no.
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:10.639
That yeah, the land of Canaan.
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:13.360
That's uh the new heaven and new earth.
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.199
Uh, and that's what this is talking about.
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.400
They shall the meek shall inherit the new heaven and new earth.
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:20.320
And uh who are the meek?
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:25.199
The meek are everyone that's that's their names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:34.559
It's not because uh they're you know meek in the in the in the sense that we uh the human way of being meek.
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:39.840
This is just a identifier that God gives to his elect once they become saved.
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:41.920
So they will inherit the earth.
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:51.119
And uh we uh we were also talking about uh Jacob and Esau, where Jacob represents all of the elect.
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:56.639
Jacob have I loved, and Esau represents all of those that were not elect.
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.639
Uh Esau I have hated.
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:07.840
And there's uh some verses that talk about those uh those of the uh ones that are Esau.
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.320
And it says, um in uh let's see.
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:17.039
No, I don't have that.
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:18.719
I don't have those verses handy.
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:19.679
I thought I did.
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.480
I just I just have the ones that are names, their names that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.280
Uh for instance, Philippians 4, verse 3.
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:45.440
And I entreat thee also, true yoke fellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
00:40:45.920 --> 00:41:07.599
And in uh Revelation 21, 27, and there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth well, this these are those that are of Esau, that uh anything that defileth, neither uh whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie.
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:18.719
Uh but on the other hand, but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life, so only those that are written in the Lamb's book of life will enter will inherit the earth.
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:20.880
They are the ones that are the meek.
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.360
That also ties in with Psalms uh 37 and 11.
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:30.320
But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:31.920
Yeah.
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:46.480
And uh actually, Psalm 37, if we look at verse 9, for evildoers shall be cut off, but those that wait upon Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth.
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:53.840
And verse 11, I think that's what you just read, the meek shall inherit the earth, shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
00:41:54.079 --> 00:42:02.559
Verse 22, for such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth, and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:08.800
They will not inherit the earth, but but those who are meek, those who are blessed.
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:14.239
And then in verse 29, the righteous shall inherit the land.
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:18.960
In the Hebrew the word land is translated often as earth.
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.880
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever.
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:26.639
Another eternal promise.
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:35.199
And in verse thirty-four, wait on Jehovah, keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land.
00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:39.679
When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:44.239
And that's today we're seeing the wicked cut off.
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.519
When God shut the door, that's what he did.
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:57.440
I have all my people within, and now uh all the unsaved are without, and it's fixed.
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.400
There's not to be any change.
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:08.320
Um eternally, uh this will be this will be everyone's spiritual condition is established.
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:25.360
Uh there there's another verse in Psalm twenty-five, in verses twelve and thirteen, where it says, uh, what man is he that feareth Jehovah?
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:29.440
Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:34.320
His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:35.840
Back to the seed.
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:55.280
Now, this helps us in interpreting Genesis 17, where we read of the seed will um inherit, Genesis 17, in verse 8, and I will give unto thee and to thy seed after thee the land.
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.159
And it's the same thing for this word land.
00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.440
It's translated.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.079
Hundreds of times as earth.
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:05.760
But here it's specified the land of Canaan.
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.000
So it's correct.
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:16.960
The land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:24.480
So the seed um will receive an everlasting possession of the land of Canaan.
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:31.599
And God is using the land of Canaan as a figure of the new heaven and new earth to come.
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:47.519
It is not a promise to Abraham's physical descendants.
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:59.039
It's not a promise to those who are blood related, you know, the Jews who could maybe perhaps trace their line back to Abraham.
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:06.880
This is not a promise to them, nor is it a promise of the land over in the Middle East.
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:14.800
It's just God used that as a type and figure to represent the new creation.
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.079
And we already checked out the word seed.
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:21.119
Who is the seed?
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.039
Is it the physical descendants of Abraham?
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:43.440
No, it is in particular Jesus Christ, singular, counted for the seed, and then Jew and Gentile who are elect, those that are saved in him, that they receive the land, not the land over in the Middle East.
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:46.480
Tell you the truth, I don't think I would want that land.
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.639
I don't think I would want to go over there and inhabit that land.
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:56.880
I don't want to inhabit any piece of land in all this world for an everlasting possession.
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:58.000
No, thank you.
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:18.639
With the hurricanes and tornadoes and earthquakes and plagues and thorns and thistles, and and despite and not to mention the least of it is I will die, you know, a long while before everlasting comes.
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:37.039
And so the promises of God here are not focused on this world, not focused on the Middle East, not focused on physical Jews, but spiritual Jews and a spiritual earth that he's going to give his people.
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.719
Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:33.599
There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel.
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:35.280
All came to pass.
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:36.880
Exactly.
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:41.599
There's a lot of other verses too that that that uh complement that.
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:43.519
Nehemiah 9.
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:44.960
Nehemiah 9.
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:53.280
They conveniently tend not to focus on that verse, and they will they will stretch to probably think, well, there's more.
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:56.159
There's more, they'll tell you.
00:47:56.400 --> 00:47:59.360
And uh they'll they and that's the nate that's our nature.
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:00.320
That's our nature.
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:12.880
We we want to uh have a heart of unbelief, and we resist the truth, and we don't seek spiritual things, and unfortunately, uh mankind will seek out their own inventions.
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:18.239
We do we do have a caller, and uh if you don't mind, let's go with uh you, Mandy.
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:19.679
Please go ahead.
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:35.840
I I had a question about um uh Galatians four, five um on the inheritance, and I it was something that came up in when you were talking, and I was wondering if you could go to that verse and then ask my question.
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:36.800
Sure.
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:39.199
Galatians four verse one.
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:44.559
Now I say uh I'm going to read uh a little bit of the passage.
00:48:44.719 --> 00:49:03.440
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be Lord of all, but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father, even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:17.199
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:34.639
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father, wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:36.800
I'm glad you read further about that.
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:38.559
I didn't see that air down there.
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:43.599
Um yeah, I was gonna ask you about adoption, if this is similar to the inheriting.
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:51.440
Um, I just was what I was wondering because when I looked up that word, it it kind of showed me that it's a children or son or just adoption.
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:52.719
If you could talk about that.
00:49:53.519 --> 00:50:03.440
Well, uh, yeah, it's it's um just indicating that um God has um taken people.
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:10.079
We read in Revelation 7 concerning the great multitude from every people, tribe, and tongue.
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:18.400
Uh it's it the Gentiles uh are uh from every nation in the world.
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:26.960
And uh we're we're not um children of God in our in our sinful condition.
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:42.960
You know, we we've been estranged, and and so the Lord uses the language of adoption, and really um he speaks very well of it, and it's a very honorable thing for people to adopt children.
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:44.639
It's very biblical.
00:50:44.960 --> 00:51:07.360
God has adopted his people into the family of God, so that we're no longer servants, we're no longer um uh, you know, um someone outside the royal family, but we've been adopted into the royal family itself.
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:27.280
Can you imagine um the the big ado that would go on if, like, say the royal family in England, if if they just for some reason adopted uh a couple of little children into the into the royal family and was raising them as royals, um, it would it would be amazing.
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:31.840
Well, God has done that with us, with us.
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:40.960
And uh we are true sons, but um it it it's um it wasn't always that way.
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:54.079
Uh he he has brought us into his family, and now that we're children through adoption, but children, we qualify as heirs of God in Christ.
00:51:54.239 --> 00:52:08.480
And this fits in with Galatians 3 that was in the previous chapter uh that I read that neither Jew nor Greek, bun nor free, male nor female, ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:16.000
And if ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:26.320
And here uh it's said that God has sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father, wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son.
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:31.199
And if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:32.400
Through Christ.
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.719
It's all centered on him.
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:40.639
He is the inheritor, and we through him.
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:41.280
Thank you.
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:56.480
Yeah, and also and also many in uh Romans 8, verse uh 14 to 17, it's it's a kind of a parallel passage, for as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
00:52:56.719 --> 00:53:08.320
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption, where whereby we cry, Abba Father.
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:28.559
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:38.559
If I if I may one let me pause at this point, we're gonna say goodbye for today's Bible exalted episode for our radio listeners.
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:45.760
However, we will continue this program for an additional half an hour, and we'll pick up um on the topic.
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:47.199
So thank you.
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:49.440
Good night, folks.
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:52.159
Welcome back to the Bible Exalted program.
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:54.559
This is our bonus half an hour.
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:58.159
Tonight's topic is the inheritance.
00:53:58.480 --> 00:53:59.360
The inheritance.
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:05.840
And we have our beloved speakers, Bob Grandy, Chris McKinnon, and Carl von Herenga.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:11.920
We have a caller who is uh discussing uh a good uh question with us, and and let's continue.
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:48.480
Uh yeah, I just have another verse regarding adoption in Ephesians 1, where it says um that, well, verse 3 says that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings, blessings in heavenly places in Christ, according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will.
00:54:48.639 --> 00:54:56.960
So God's whole predestination election program is tied to adoption.
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:08.639
And um that's that's a wonderful thing that um there is that possibility or was that possibility in the day of salvation.
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:11.440
Thank you, Mandy.
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:24.639
Yeah, I found uh I found a couple of those verses that talk about those uh Esau's that will not inherit the kingdom of God uh in Galatians five nineteen to twenty-one.
00:55:25.360 --> 00:56:00.800
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revilings, and such like, of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:05.440
And and also in uh first Corinthians fifteen, fifty.
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:17.119
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:20.079
Excellent point.
00:56:20.559 --> 00:56:26.079
First Corinthians six uh verse nine to eleven.
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:28.800
I was gonna read that one too, and I figured it was too long.
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.159
Oh, he's taking up too much of the mic.
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:35.360
This reminds me of the handfuls of purpose.
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:40.159
You you left remember the handfuls of purpose are left for someone coming along.
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:44.400
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
00:56:44.800 --> 00:57:03.039
Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.440
I think that covers everybody.
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:07.199
That covers everybody.
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:23.039
But keep going such were some of you, but you're washed, but you're sanctified, but you're justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:36.159
So um unless we're washed, unless we're sanctified, justified in salvation, no inheritance of the kingdom of God.
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.480
Uh there there is only inheritance in Christ.
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.039
In Christ, you have to be in him.
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:50.559
And his righteousness, not one's own righteousness, that's the only way to enter into the kingdom of God.
00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:52.159
You guys read.
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:33.840
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran, and from thence when his father was dead, he removed him into this land wherein ye now dwell, and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on, yet he promised that he would give it to him for possession and to his seed after him when as yet he had no child.
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.440
So that just ties in with what we looked at earlier.
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:45.199
Yeah, and and and good point, and also a false teaching is a false inheritance.
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.920
It's it's a deceitful inheritance.
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:56.960
And one of the stories I I used to like was Sennacherib, and I always wondered Sennacherib was uh quite chaotic.
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:04.480
He he would have this, you know, come to me and and I'll I'll give you this if you submit, but I'm also gonna destroy you.
00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:05.840
But but come to me.
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:13.920
And uh I'm gonna read just a few uh verses here and uh I'll start with verse thirteen.
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:25.199
Then Rabshake stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language and said, Hear ye the words of the great king what pride, the king of Assyria.
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:37.840
Thus saith the king, let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you, neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us.
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:42.159
This city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
00:59:42.480 --> 01:00:08.320
Hearken not to Hezekiah, for thus saith the king of Assyria, make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and eat ye every one of his vine and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern, until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:13.760
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:33.519
And that always struck me that he tried to give a promise of a land, their own land, and and it just mo it just mocks the true gospel and for someone who doesn't have eyes to see, it's a false inheritance, and it's a great destruction if they were to give into that.
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:37.280
Yeah, I think this verse goes along with that.
01:00:37.920 --> 01:01:07.199
In Jeremiah 16, Jeremiah 16, um in verse 19, O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles or the nations shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall sh and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no prophet.
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:10.880
Shall man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:14.239
So our fathers have inherited lies.
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:19.760
And that is true of every secular person.
01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:26.079
That's true of every individual in a false religion, raised under a false religion.
01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:34.400
It's true of all the apostate churches and all the people brought up under apostate churches.
01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:41.280
The churches, they inherited confessions and creeds from centuries ago.
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:46.800
And they have errors in the confessions and creeds, and they maintain them.
01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:50.159
They hold on to them, must be true, must be true.
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:52.960
They're 400, 500 years old.
01:01:53.280 --> 01:02:00.559
And uh, you know, a great great deal of the world is inherited lies.
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:19.119
Um, and it's it's only the true gospel that breaks that cycle as God comes to his people in all walks of life, and and he draws them by his word by the truth, and the truth sounds so strange.
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:21.519
It's so odd, you know.
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:23.679
Um people don't believe it.
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:29.440
Like Jesus said, You do not believe me because I tell you the truth.
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:40.159
If if someone um you know tells a tall tale, well, you'll get a lot more people to believe it than the actual truth.
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:45.440
They look upon the truth as, oh boy, this this this guy is out there.
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:47.679
It's like they never heard it before.
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:52.320
And very, very possible they never heard the truth.
01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.679
They they have no recognition of the truth, like Pilate.
01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:57.280
What is truth?
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:04.480
And uh so in Acts, they when Paul brought the truth, you know, these strange things unto us.
01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:11.039
I remember uh Gary, me and Gary went on a show and and we were talking about how God sets his word above his name.
01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:14.320
And they had never heard that before, so they all like gasped.
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:15.920
They're all like, What?
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:18.719
They couldn't believe that something that they heard.
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:24.559
Yeah, not to mention that verse where you said where they put it forth strange uh gods.
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:29.360
If you if you look at that word, gods, it's the Greek word daemonion.
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:42.719
So when they were critiquing Paul, the translators didn't use the word daemonion, they used the word gods, because I I guess the translators understood that they had no spiritual understanding.
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:48.960
But they accused Saul of of speaking of strange demons, if you look at that word in that in that verse.
01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:53.440
You're talking about the one in Acts when when it yeah.
01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:56.159
I thought it was the one that Yeah, I'm thinking of Martis Hill.
01:03:56.400 --> 01:03:57.599
Yeah, look at look at the Greek word.
01:03:57.679 --> 01:03:59.360
I looked at that word strange gods.
01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:01.599
It's the it's the Greek word daemonion.
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:08.159
So so if you're if you're telling the true gospel, uh they're gonna they're gonna see it as evil.
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:10.480
Not just not just strange gods.
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:16.880
They're they're gonna count it as evil if if they're not truly uh saved and their eyes are not spiritually opened.
01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:25.039
Uh another another passage about not inheriting in Ephesians five.
01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:41.599
But fornication, verse three, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becometh saints, uh, neither filthiness nor foolish talking, nor jesting which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:53.199
For this ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
01:04:53.679 --> 01:05:03.119
Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:07.280
I actually had a question for you, Chris.
01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:13.440
When you were reading the one in the verse in Psalms, I think it was Psalms uh 105, 42.
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:17.039
No, 37 about the meek inheritance.
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:18.000
Uh-huh.
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:22.320
It talks about um where's it that talks about the land?
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:23.519
What verse was that?
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:32.639
Um that was um that was uh well the verses are 9, 11.
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:49.679
11 says inherit the earth, nine says inherit the earth, twenty-two, um says about the land inheriting the uh verse twenty two inherit the earth, verse twenty-nine, inherit the land, and verse thirty-four, inherit the land.
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:50.559
Yeah.
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:52.079
See, I was wondering about that.
01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:58.159
Of course, when I was younger, I used to I used to read that verse, the meek shall inherit the earth, you know, the land.
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:05.760
And you know, it kind of makes You think of this world, but you know, I thought about the verse in if you look at it from a natural perspective.
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.760
But then I thought about the verse in Ezekiel.
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:13.679
Remember, it talks about that God's gonna put his spirit within them and he's gonna place them in their own land.
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:14.239
Yeah.
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.039
I think you talked about that being New Jerusalem, right?
01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:23.519
They're coming out of Babylon, the spiritual land of Babylon, and they're going into the spiritual land of Jerusalem.
01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:25.280
So that is that what it's talking about?
01:06:25.679 --> 01:06:39.360
Well, uh it it that that's um it's kind of hard there in that passage, um, because you know, we we can go into the land spiritually.
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:55.440
We have our citizenship in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, so we're we're counted to be there, and it's a little difficult sometimes as God talking about the actual end of all things and going there.
01:06:55.840 --> 01:07:01.119
But uh yeah, I I'm not exactly sure what's in view in Ezekiel 37.
01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:09.760
But it also talks about in Daniel how the saints possess the kingdom too as while they're ruling, just as Christ is ruling on this earth.
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:11.920
So I've wondered about that.
01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:16.000
But it so the meek inheriting the earth, that wouldn't be referring to that, right?
01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:20.000
Could that only be referring to the new heavens?
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:26.480
Um Yeah, I I I don't think s it.
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:32.320
Yeah, I I don't know, I never thought of that.
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:47.280
Uh as far as you know, there is there's a verse in Psalm 2 where it's referring to Christ, but what's true of Christ would be true of the saints who are judging the world with him.
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:55.199
It says in Psalm 2, uh, verse 6, yet have have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:58.239
Zion would be Jerusalem, the body of the elect.
01:07:58.400 --> 01:07:59.760
I will declare the decree.
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:05.199
Jehovah has said unto me, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:10.239
Uh going back to the foundation of the world and resurrection.
01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:26.880
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, that is to the Son of God, to the Lord Jesus, the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
01:08:27.199 --> 01:08:36.319
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.840
So it kind of um awkward, right?
01:08:42.079 --> 01:09:06.800
I'll give you first we might think the nations, the Gentiles, well, a great multitude, God did save, I'll give you the heathen for your inheritance, as Bob was saying, to begin with, were God's inheritance, and uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession, but then in the next verse, thou shalt break them with a rod of iron.
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:08.880
Well, well, who's them?
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:10.079
Who's them?
01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:21.279
Um it would, you know, appear it's the heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth that are going to be broken.
01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:28.399
Uh, and yet they're given for an inheritance, and Christ is ruling the world.
01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:34.159
He he is king and lord over the world right now.
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:44.880
Uh and and yet it's w his, it's up to him whatever he wants to do with it, and what he wants to do with it is destroy it.
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:52.159
Well, I just thought of it because Daniel 22 mentions it three times, like or sorry, Daniel 7, verse 22.
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:57.359
It says, Unto the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high.
01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.119
So we know it's judgment day.
01:09:59.279 --> 01:10:02.479
And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:07.520
And then it mentions uh the saints again in verse 18.
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:10.319
The saints of the most high shall take the kingdom.
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:13.119
I think three times mentioned.
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:17.600
Well, well, it is it is possessed, it is taken.
01:10:18.079 --> 01:10:38.319
Christ deposed Satan and and has taken the throne, ruling the earth, and the saints, the elect with him, you know, the Matthew 19, the Son of Man will sit upon the throne of his glory, and you will sit upon the twelve tribes, will sit upon twelve thrones.
01:10:39.119 --> 01:10:41.600
So there there is that aspect to it.
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:46.479
Uh that that's ruling, but what what did you what did what was your question?
01:10:46.640 --> 01:11:07.359
Is it or I was thinking about inheriting Yeah, inheriting the land, would that would would that be this temporary land, or would that just be because I said it was the meat shall inherit the earth, but but we know that there's well that because uh it in uh Psalm 37, it speaks of everlasting, right?
01:11:07.520 --> 01:11:09.920
That that's found in that chapter.
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:11.760
It's found in that Psalm.
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:15.119
Genesis 17, it speaks of everlasting possession.
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:21.439
That isn't going to be destroyed, and and the meek will inherit the earth.
01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:29.199
Um uh, I I think would go along with that because land and earth, same Hebrew word.
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:55.520
Um and but you're bringing up something else um that it it seems to be true of Christ in Psalm 2, that he receives the world, the Gentiles, uttermost parts of the earth, for inheritance, and uh he uh apparently will destroy them with a rod of iron.
01:11:56.079 --> 01:11:56.399
Okay.
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:33.920
Yeah, does that go along with uh with that verse in uh Peter, let me see, where Christ uh he bought let's see, who privilege shall bring um there were in uh second Peter two yeah, Second Peter two verse one, but there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you who privileges damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:40.640
Is that is that who is gonna be uh in in Psalm two?
01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:44.720
Is that is that who the Lord is gonna dash in pieces?
01:12:45.520 --> 01:13:08.720
Well well um well there it it seems to be the whole all the nations, but it it reminds us of the parable Matthew 13 with uh the treasure in the field and and the man buys the field in order to field is the world treasure.
01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:19.279
Like in Matthew 13 in verse 44, again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field, the field is the world.
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:40.720
So there's treasure in the world, the treasure would be the elect, and and so um the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:49.920
So he he purchased the larger piece of land, the world.
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:56.079
He purchases the world for the purpose of getting the treasure.
01:13:56.479 --> 01:14:00.159
And so that could uh help explain Psalm two.
01:14:01.439 --> 01:14:11.680
After he gets the treasure out of the world, after God brings his elect to himself, he has no law and no further purpose for the field.
01:14:12.079 --> 01:14:23.920
He only bought the field to get the treasure, and uh that that was his desire, and so afterward destroy the world.
01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:25.680
And also the spoiling, right?
01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:26.880
Would that tie in?
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:34.560
Because he's plundering Satan's kingdom, he's spoiling Satan's kingdom, you know, gathering of the gold and the silver.
01:14:35.439 --> 01:14:38.319
Would that be having to do with the treasure?
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:41.680
Well, yeah, uh right.
01:14:42.000 --> 01:15:29.680
The uh Second Chronicles 20, they they gather the spoil uh amongst the dead, and and the strong man uh keeps his treasure until stronger than he comes along, and God uh it it it interesting in Revelation 18 when Babylon has fallen, Babylon the kingdom of Satan, that that it looks at the destruction of Babylon in uh in verse eight, therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and she shall be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:35.600
And that's the same word um from Luke 11, 21, 22.
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:42.000
A strong man keepeth his palace, but stronger than he shall come upon him.
01:15:42.479 --> 01:15:55.279
And and so here uh the kingdom of Babylon, strong uh king of Babylon, stronger than he is God, causes his kingdom to fall.
01:15:55.760 --> 01:16:16.720
And uh and so I I I think it does relate because where we find the house divided verses, it's always in the context of of um like like this statement about the um the man keeping his goods in his palace in Luke 11.
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:30.880
Where uh notice what what leads up to that, verse 17, but he knowing their thoughts said unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, a house divided against the house falleth.
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:47.600
Brought to desolation ties this to the fall of Babylon, because the word brought to desolation, it's one Greek word, 2049, is found three times in Revelation concerning Babylon.
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:59.439
It's only found, I believe, five times total, twice concerning the house divided, three times, twice in Revelation 18, concerning the fallen Babylon.
01:16:59.600 --> 01:17:04.000
So brought to desolation a house divided against the house falleth.
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:08.239
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:18.800
Because ye say that I cast out devils through Beazelbub, and if I by Beazabub cast out devils by whom do your sons cast them out, therefore shall they be your judges.
01:17:19.039 --> 01:17:24.720
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God has come upon you.
01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:41.359
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace, but when a stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor, wherein he trusted and divideth his spoils.
01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:57.680
So I it it's in Mark, it's in Matthew, and it's here, in that kind of order, house divided, kingdom divided, and a few within a few verses, the strong man.
01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:21.279
Uh you have to bind him to spoil the goods, and it seems to fit very well with um the idea in judgment day, um, there will be at least a manifestation of ransacking the house of Satan and taking the treasure, taking out the treasure.
01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:28.960
You mentioned too that this tied in with David, right, after he killed Goliath, who's a picture of Satan, and about his armor.
01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:32.399
Yeah, um, I was I have a note here.
01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:40.000
Uh 1 Samuel 17, 50-54, he uh spoiled their tents.
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:47.760
He's and and also the word he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusts and divideth his spoils.
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:57.359
1 Samuel 17, 53, 54, David put armor in his tent and uh spoiled their tents.
01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:06.640
And and I noticed too, remember after David killed Goliath, they said David kills or Saul kills his thousands, but David is ten thousands.
01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:13.039
I thought that was interesting too, because if that's a picture of Christ, Goliath being killed is a picture of Satan.
01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:16.720
Now David is a he hasn't become king yet, right?
01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:22.720
But he's been exalted to uh that position of power.
01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:24.399
He's been made a free man.
01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:28.960
And and uh I just thought it was interesting that says David has killed his ten thousands, right?
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:29.680
Because price.
01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:33.840
Well, no, that was coming back, wasn't it?
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.119
That's when Saul started getting jealous.
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:37.760
Right.
01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:39.760
And so he was eyeing David, yeah.
01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:42.159
They gave me but thousands.
01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:46.000
As if that wasn't enough.
01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:48.800
They gave me but thousands.
01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:52.239
Yeah, but that ten thousand, that number kind of stands out too.
01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:56.000
Yeah, because Jehovah cometh with ten thousands of his saints.
01:19:56.399 --> 01:20:00.720
So, you know, Saul is recognizing that he doesn't have the ten thousand.
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:01.520
You know?
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:08.479
It's interesting how when when one is rejected, there's a lot of anger and hate.
01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:16.880
There's a there's a lot of the one when one realizes they are rejected, they immediately turn to the one who's been accepted and they want to kill them.
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:22.640
They they want to treat them uh really evilly, I'm I'm noticing.
01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:23.680
Throughout their minds.
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:41.680
Because if if Goliath is Satan, Satan's cast down on May 21, David is a picture of Christ, is Saul the church is how they You know, you know what's interesting, I was reading Saul said that he loved David very much in the beginning.
01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:47.600
So what kind of love is that, right?
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:51.920
Well, in Revelation 2, God said, Return to your first love.
01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:56.399
Because the church had a love for Christ early on.
01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:57.279
Right.
01:20:58.159 --> 01:20:58.800
Yeah.
01:20:59.680 --> 01:21:22.720
There's there's a interesting verse that there there may be many people out in the world might be asking this, and it's in uh Luke 18, 18, where we read it, uh, and a certain ruler asked him, asked her asked Jesus, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:23.520
Right?
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:29.199
And probably a lot of people out there are asking the same question.
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:43.039
And uh in uh the same passage is in uh Mark, Mark uh chapter 10 and in verse uh 17.
01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:55.600
Uh and when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him and asked him, Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit an eternal life?
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:59.439
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:03.119
There is none good but one, that is that is God.
01:22:04.239 --> 01:22:16.560
And and thou knowest that he so Jesus tells him to go obey all the commandments, and uh the man says, Oh, I've done I've done this uh for since my youth.
01:22:16.800 --> 01:22:35.039
And and then it says in verse 21, then Jesus, beholding him, loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest, go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, take up the cross and follow me.
01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:45.520
And he and the next verse 22, and he was sad at that saying, and went grie went away grieved, for he had great possessions.
01:22:46.239 --> 01:23:07.039
And um I believe that word grieved is is uh he went away with godly sorrow, uh, which which means that he he and the fact that Jesus loved him uh indicates that that he did become saved, but it was not because of any anything that he did, it was because Jesus loved him.
01:23:07.199 --> 01:23:10.399
Uh, we love him because he first loved us.
01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:24.399
And in Matthew 19, it it says, um, when when uh Christ said it's it's easier, um what's that saying with the camel?
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:26.479
Oh, it's twenty five.
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:28.880
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:30.960
Yeah, it's also in Mark, yeah.
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:37.520
It says, uh And they were rich men saying among themselves, who then can be saved?
01:23:37.760 --> 01:23:47.039
And Jesus looking upon them saith, with men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible.
01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.439
But all things is referring to salvation.
01:23:49.840 --> 01:24:13.600
So it's impossible to inherit eternal life for man with uh other works, by doing you know, something that we you know, mankind, like the churches say you can accept Christ, uh all the things you can say the sinner's prayer or get baptized, but none of that ever saved anybody.
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:14.720
Yeah.
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:29.600
And there's probably millions out there across the world that, you know, like I said before, that that could ask this question, and uh maybe maybe they were saved, you know, maybe they were saved before God shut the door.
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:29.920
Yeah.
01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:32.720
Of course that complicates things today, right?
01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:36.960
That it's not like any other time in past history.
01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:41.359
We're living in judgment day where God shut the door.
01:24:41.760 --> 01:24:42.399
Yeah.
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:48.079
Which which means he's not granting eternal life.
01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:59.199
He's he's no longer adopting people into his family, no longer saving, no longer giving them inheritance.
01:25:00.479 --> 01:25:01.680
It's all done.
01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:15.439
The only hope for people is maybe God has already saved them prior to his shutting the door May 21, 2011.
01:25:16.479 --> 01:25:26.399
And and that would be the only um way that that someone could think, well, maybe I can inherit eternal life.
01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:43.439
Well, uh it if you if you were outside the church and and you heard the word of God, even the littlest bit of the word of God prior to May 21, 2011, then there would be a possibility that maybe God saved you.
01:25:43.680 --> 01:25:45.680
And that would be the way to approach him.
01:25:46.479 --> 01:25:50.640
Yeah, if they saw a b if they saw a billboard, so that said judgment day.
01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:50.880
Yeah.
01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:53.359
And judgment day is the word of God.
01:25:56.479 --> 01:26:11.760
I guess it's also equally scary if somebody today was seeking salvation, you know, at a time when you know they're looking for the straight gate and and just seeing all the turmoil at the rich man in hell, you know, just asking for a drop, drop of salvation.
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:25.600
It doesn't take much for God to save someone as long as it's in the right setting and during the time of salvation with the right timing.
01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:27.439
It doesn't take much.
01:26:28.720 --> 01:26:31.680
Yeah, it it didn't it didn't take much.
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:36.159
After all the work was done.
01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:43.119
I I find myself writing um, you know, when I'm responding to somebody, I'll use past tense.
01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:52.720
I don't think anyone ever picks up on it on these storms or threads, but I'll I'll say something like, you know, when God was saving, or I'll use past tense, you know.
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:55.920
And I I'm just surprised nobody's ever said, What do you mean?
01:26:56.079 --> 01:26:58.000
You know, why are you using past tense?
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:02.239
I probably think uh you you need a little help with English grammar.
01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:13.359
But but you're being um you're being careful and and you're stating it correctly.
01:27:14.319 --> 01:27:14.880
Yeah.
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:25.439
And and we do look forward uh to receiving the inheritance and and if if I understand correctly, that in our bodies.
01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:26.000
Right?
01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:29.119
We're we're looking for that redemption and that completion.
01:27:29.600 --> 01:27:36.960
Did did we read First Corinthians 15 about the um the new the inheritance of the body?
01:27:37.600 --> 01:27:40.560
I think you briefly mentioned it, but I don't think we ever talked about it.
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:45.520
Last there was I think last time, maybe we we talked about it a lot, but not today.
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:53.920
Um 1 Corinthians 15, verse 47.
01:27:54.319 --> 01:27:59.680
The first man is of the earth earthy, the second man is the Lord from heaven, as is the earthy.
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:11.199
Such are they also that are earthy, and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly, and as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:22.319
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:24.720
So oh, you did read that.
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:26.239
Maybe I yeah, at the beginning.
01:28:32.479 --> 01:28:34.560
What chance has any person?
01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:53.520
Well, um, the reason it says that is because in verse uh 44, it is sown a natural body, it is raised the spiritual body, there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
01:28:53.920 --> 01:29:16.960
So when God uh resurrects on the last day, when He when He brings us up, all that are truly saved, they're changed, their physical flesh and blood bodies changed to a spiritual body that qualifies to enter into the spiritual kingdom of God.
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:24.319
Flesh and blood is a physical body that's fitted for a physical earth.
01:29:25.039 --> 01:29:33.920
And you know, so many people have in mind they they picture themselves in in heaven forevermore.
01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:43.359
It's just going to be the the same, basically, maybe a new and improved version of themselves, a new and improved physical body, but that's not it.
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:53.439
It's a spiritual body that uh that has to it's how you pass through the gate.
01:29:53.760 --> 01:29:58.880
You you there there's like a sensor goes off flesh and blood.
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:02.880
No, you can't get through, can't get through.
01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:20.239
And that starts or started with a new soul, a new spirit, uh the down payment, that earnest of the spirit, the down payment on the overall salvation, which will include the body.
01:30:20.479 --> 01:30:30.079
If you don't have by now, you you need the earnest of the spirit, the down payment of the spirit in order to get the rest.
01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:48.880
If you lack at this point the spirit within, the the Holy Spirit, and that only would come if if God saved you, then um there will be no inheritance because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom.
01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:57.600
So you're saying there's a censor now that that that it's not it's not uh Peter that uh it's mocking the king?
01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:00.720
Well, that that that needs a little updating.
01:31:01.039 --> 01:31:07.359
It's the eyes, it's the eyes of Jehovah that inspects everyone at the marriage feast who has a wedding garment.
01:31:07.680 --> 01:31:08.560
Yeah, there you go.
01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:16.000
And the the the glaring eyes of God will be upon those who who don't have a wedding garment are speechless.
01:31:16.560 --> 01:31:17.359
Speechless.
01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:19.600
And that and they know that's interesting.
01:31:19.840 --> 01:31:22.159
They're speechless because they don't have a word.
01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:28.960
They don't have a word of God to re to return uh back because they don't have the word of God in their heart.
01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:31.600
They're speechless, they have nothing to say.
01:31:32.640 --> 01:31:37.039
So that that would be those who appear to have been following the truth.
01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:38.800
They had salvation.
01:31:41.119 --> 01:31:44.239
They came a long way, right into the marriage feast.
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:45.199
Yeah.
01:31:45.680 --> 01:31:48.640
They they weren't the ones burned up in the city.
01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:49.600
You know?
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:53.439
Um those who rejected the the that would be the church.
01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:55.279
They came out of the church.
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:59.119
This this guy would have been among the highways and the byways.
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:06.239
You know, that verse makes so much more sense because I remember, you know, prior to May 21 looking at that and thinking, like, how did this guy get in?
01:32:06.399 --> 01:32:12.159
You know, if this is supposed to be, you know, when God has gathered all of his elect, how did this person get in?
01:32:12.239 --> 01:32:16.000
But now, of course, it makes perfect sense because it's talking about this time.
01:32:16.479 --> 01:32:19.359
And interestingly, he was bound hand in foot.
01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:20.479
Yeah.
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:22.720
And cast into outer darkness.
01:32:23.199 --> 01:32:23.680
That's right.
01:32:23.760 --> 01:32:24.000
Yeah.
01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:27.760
He didn't say the flaming fires of torment.
01:32:28.239 --> 01:32:33.359
God he's specifically using outer darkness, you know?
01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:33.920
Yeah.
01:32:34.159 --> 01:32:40.159
I heard uh somebody who was not I think he believed in eternal hell, but somebody had asked him about that.
01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:51.600
And uh it was the guy who was interviewing um waiting, it was all mentioned names, but he was saying, you know, the universe is like outer darkness, and then you know, where the flame is the fire is unquenched.
01:32:51.760 --> 01:33:00.640
So he realized that it didn't really make sense, those two verses, because how could hell be an eternal place of suffering, but then also be outer darkness?
01:33:00.960 --> 01:33:02.079
Not going to be at fire.
01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:16.079
And incidentally, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God because if one tries to pay for their sins with their body, well, you're not gonna make it because you just gave up your body, your life.
01:33:17.199 --> 01:33:18.720
You've extinguished your life.
01:33:19.119 --> 01:33:23.600
You can't make it on the other side because you're you're paying for your own sin.
01:33:23.760 --> 01:33:31.279
And so therefore, you you don't have anything left over after you've given everything you own, which is your very life, for for redemption.
01:33:31.439 --> 01:33:38.239
And that's why when someone pays for their sins, it's an accepted sacrifice, life for life.
01:33:38.479 --> 01:33:39.359
And that's it.
01:33:39.520 --> 01:33:41.279
It's uh the payment is made.
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:43.119
You're we're done.
01:33:43.359 --> 01:33:44.159
We're done.
01:33:44.720 --> 01:33:47.520
Well, that's what's happening now during judgment day, right?
01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:53.680
Everybody that's not uh uh their names were not written in the Lamb's book of life.
01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:57.199
They're they're paying for their sins right now, whether they know it or not.
01:33:57.520 --> 01:33:57.840
Yeah.
01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:03.199
It was a beautiful day, and I was like, wow, you know, this, you know, it's we're living in hell.
01:34:03.359 --> 01:34:07.039
And just shows the the kindness of God, you know, the mercy of God.
01:34:07.199 --> 01:34:13.920
Even in in this flame, in the state of hell, you know, God's mercy is is being dis on display.
01:34:14.960 --> 01:34:20.000
Yeah, I was um I was on there's a social media platform called Threads.
01:34:20.159 --> 01:34:27.920
And I don't know if I screenshotted it, but somebody was um they were saying how it didn't make sense how God paid for everyone's sins.
01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:29.439
You know, he covered the debt.
01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:36.399
So this person was questioning, you know, what why would God pay for everyone's sins, but then not allow them to get to heaven if the debt's paid.
01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:38.079
It doesn't make sense to me.
01:34:38.319 --> 01:34:41.119
You know, don't just start giving me a bunch of random verses.
01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:42.720
You know, I want you to explain that.
01:34:43.119 --> 01:34:43.359
Yeah.
01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:49.039
And then people might so I responded to it, but it it somebody realized that it doesn't make sense.
01:34:49.439 --> 01:34:51.680
Seems more than a good observation.
01:34:52.079 --> 01:34:54.000
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was going to say.
01:34:54.159 --> 01:35:05.199
More and more people uh realizing the various truths, and yet they they don't get the whole picture, but but they'll they'll get this point and that point.
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:08.560
But we I don't remember hearing that in the past.
01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:18.720
You know, like someone talking about an angel of light who's of public figure or or uh you know these other things.
01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:20.720
It's very interesting, Chris.
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:22.159
Very interesting.
01:35:22.479 --> 01:35:32.000
It seems as if uh people are are trying to seek truth and almost it's almost like they're circling around it.
01:35:32.399 --> 01:35:34.640
They don't hit it, but they're they're circling around it.
01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:39.439
And they're like, man, just a little a few more points, he would almost be there, you know?
01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:42.000
I I found the person's comment.
01:35:42.159 --> 01:35:46.079
She she writes, To me, Jesus dying the way he did makes zero sense.
01:35:46.159 --> 01:35:53.279
If he died for our sins, however, our sins can still get us sent to hell, then why did he have to die at all if the debt was paid?
01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:55.439
Why do we still get a penalty for sinning?
01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:58.159
Please don't give me mumbo jumbo from scriptures.
01:35:58.239 --> 01:36:00.640
I'm asking from a critical thinking standpoint.
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:03.119
Make it make sense in your words.
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:06.159
The church says, well, it's it's up to you.
01:36:06.239 --> 01:36:07.520
You gotta accept it.
01:36:07.680 --> 01:36:12.319
You gotta plug your outlet into the the wall and get that energy.
01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:14.479
You gotta sign the check.
01:36:14.640 --> 01:36:15.840
You gotta sign the check.
01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:17.359
You gotta seal the deal.
01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:18.479
Endorse it.
01:36:18.560 --> 01:36:19.680
You gotta endorse the check.
01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:20.960
It's already made out to you.
01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:23.039
This is somebody defending it.
01:36:23.119 --> 01:36:25.279
I actually get why that doesn't make sense at first.
01:36:25.439 --> 01:36:27.279
You're not crazy for seeing it that way.
01:36:27.439 --> 01:36:35.039
The confusion usually comes from thinking Jesus died, so nobody gets judged anymore, but that's not what Christians mean when they say he paid for sin.
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:40.960
A better way to think about this is imagine someone racks up a massive life-ruining debt they could never repay.
01:36:41.199 --> 01:36:43.439
Someone else steps in and says, I'll cover this.
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:46.800
The debt is generally paid, but that person's thus accepted.
01:36:51.760 --> 01:37:02.880
That's that, you know, when you we were just talking about this, Carl, when we were at a restaurant and we were saying, we were joking amongst ourselves, if a very wealthy person covers our meal, we'll be like, sure, go right ahead.
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:10.159
But but in this context, this person is saying that if someone covers your meal, you have to accept it.
01:37:10.720 --> 01:37:13.840
Many, many times somebody will pay and it's too late.
01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:18.159
And it can be very displeasing because you wanted to take part in it.
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:20.960
And the person will tell you it's already done.
01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:22.960
And you you do feel a bit helpless.
01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:28.159
So that analogy doesn't seem to ring true in real life, even on that level.
01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:30.079
It's contradictory.
01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:31.760
It's like nature.
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:32.479
Yeah.
01:37:33.279 --> 01:37:38.640
But yeah, I wonder if two people are just questioning what they believe because they're questioning a lot of things.
01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:42.399
They're questioning what governments have told them, what scientists have told them.
01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:47.439
And so I'm not surprised that you see Christians questioning what they're what they're taught, you know.
01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:50.079
So I think it's maybe the same type of thing.
01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:52.640
You know, is this really the case, you know?
01:37:52.880 --> 01:37:58.560
Which makes me wonder if they'll also question free will, you know, start to wonder, you know.
01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:00.399
So I guess we'll see.
01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:16.239
What an interesting and maybe perhaps, Lord willing, as time progresses, we can discuss this matter because perhaps the work of Satan has been greatly um troubled, like when the disciples were toiling and could not get anywhere when they were in the waters.
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:27.920
Maybe Satan's work has been greatly troubled, and so perhaps during this time of judgment, mankind is not so greatly clouded as they used to be with the um the deceit of Satan.
01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:37.039
And so maybe perhaps some of those um you know stumblings are are not as often, and so maybe they can grab a little more than they used to.
01:38:37.600 --> 01:38:38.319
Perhaps.
01:38:40.079 --> 01:38:45.920
I think it uh unfortunately goes back to now it's too late.
01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:46.800
Yeah.
01:38:47.039 --> 01:39:06.880
You know, like with uh Israel coming out of Egypt, sending the spies, and the spies coming back with their evil report, and everyone's murmuring, and well, practically everyone and they want to go back to Egypt, and so God uh judges them.
01:39:07.279 --> 01:39:24.079
Now you're going to wonder 40 years, a year for a day, and once they realize they're judged, then they they want to do what God wanted them to do in the first place, which was go take the land, we'll go up.
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:27.760
And and but at that point that became rebellion.
01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:47.920
So once the door shut, now um, if you look at it from, say, the enemy's perspective, Satan, that where he was trying to prevent people from being saved in order to thwart the plan of God.
01:39:48.159 --> 01:40:10.000
Well, now the plan of God's carried out, and is it all that important if um, you know, um from the the evil one's perspective, he was stirring up people to just have nothing to do with election, nothing to do with understanding the angel of light.
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:17.760
You know, you don't want to know that that that you know pastor in the church is what 2 Corinthians 11 is talking about.
01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:44.239
Well, now he um he he doesn't have that motivation, and also Christ is the one in charge, in full, in full complete control over the church, over the world, and allowing people to come to a um a better understanding of various doctrines won't change anything.
01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:49.039
It's not going to cause someone to be translated.
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:58.000
Well, now I understand, now I believe, now I believe the true gospel of election won't save anybody.
01:40:58.159 --> 01:41:03.359
If they're not saved, belief of that won't belief of any truth won't save them.
01:41:03.760 --> 01:41:15.199
It really goes back to that whole idea that during the Great Tribulation, when the deception was so great, only God's elect could see through that deception, but it was so great that if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived.
01:41:15.439 --> 01:41:26.640
But now I'm starting to wonder, because Satan's been cast down, remember at the cross that says he was bound so that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were expired.
01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:35.039
So I was thinking about if he was if he was rebound on May 21, perhaps too that binding limited his deception.
01:41:35.279 --> 01:41:49.760
So pr maybe that's why now they're they're seen, you know, because that the deception that was there during the Great Tribulation was placed upon the world where like like you said, nobody even talked about these things, but now they're you know, they're talking about it.
01:41:50.079 --> 01:42:07.199
I think we have to remember that there's also many at least I believe there's many tens of millions of people out there that I think that social media is gonna reach them, and we're we're we're trying to feed the sheep, feed those people.
01:42:07.600 --> 01:42:12.800
And uh the fact that uh you know it it really can't be blocked.
01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:18.560
This this uh the true teaching of the Bible is out, it's getting out there via social media.
01:42:18.880 --> 01:42:24.000
I mean yeah, before the churches had total control over everything.
01:42:24.319 --> 01:42:25.680
Or the news media, yeah.
01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:27.760
Or the new news media, yeah.
01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:31.680
So I mean, yeah, there that's that's interesting.
01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:43.920
There's gonna be a lot of people that it's too late for, but there's on the other hand, there's also gonna be a lot of people that um are that were saved during the Great Tribulation, and they're gonna start seeing it too.
01:42:44.000 --> 01:42:47.520
So so it's kind of preparing for that, preparing the way for that.
01:42:47.840 --> 01:43:00.319
Yeah, and and and it's gonna be I I mean, I think I think some of us uh believe that what as we get closer to 2033, we'll start to see it.
01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:09.840
Maybe uh uh you know the sheep start, you know, understanding and getting it and uh realizing that they were saved.
01:43:10.399 --> 01:43:11.039
Wow.
01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:14.079
That would that would be incredible.
01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:16.720
That would be incredible if that were the case.
01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:22.239
Or or at least they'll they would show some desire to learn the truth.
01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:28.880
Perhaps you know they may not be strong in the faith, but they would have an ongoing desire to seek the truth.
01:43:29.039 --> 01:43:33.439
And and ultimately, um, they're not gonna want to hear false teaching.
01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:38.640
They're gonna be very uncomfortable to hear the same old uh lies of of the past.
01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:44.720
I think it'd be hard if if many people started to be drawn, you know, and for them to hide that, to hide that.
01:43:44.800 --> 01:43:48.079
You know, you'd have tur turmoil families, right?
01:43:48.239 --> 01:44:00.319
Just think about how the truth divides, and you know, I would I would think it would if if a whole bunch of people started to become drawn to the truth, that would have a pretty big effect, you know.
01:44:01.439 --> 01:44:17.039
And and lastly, I I was watching, I was down the rabbit hole, I was watching some old May 21 videos, and this one man, he was literally on the roof of his house, and he said, Well, it's six o'clock, it's May 21, 2011, we're still here.
01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:20.319
And you could tell he was not mocking.
01:44:20.479 --> 01:44:23.760
He he really was thinking that that could have been it.
01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:37.359
And so there's many people who were watching that day, and slowly but surely as they see all the turmoil in the world and they're seeking the truth from the Bible, you know, maybe simultaneously they'll start to uh awaken.
01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:41.119
Maybe that's the real woke that we hear about.
01:44:41.520 --> 01:45:02.720
Well, there there is also going to be a lot of um uh discussion about 2029 and 2033 because um a lot of Christians and a lot even secular um uh authorities date the cross at 33 AD.
01:45:03.520 --> 01:45:06.640
And everybody can say it's 2,000 years.
01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:14.960
And with what everything that's going on in the world, uh someone was sharing with me on Facebook, they sent me this thing.
01:45:15.119 --> 01:45:30.239
I think it was like Catholic Church related, but it but it was talking about the celebration of exactly 2,000 years of Christ on the cross and the Jubilee in 2033.
01:45:31.039 --> 01:45:37.520
Uh and uh I don't know if you guys remember Y2K back in the year 2000.
01:45:37.760 --> 01:45:38.159
Yep.
01:45:38.720 --> 01:45:44.399
That was uh a little crazy, you know, the way people were worried about that.
01:45:44.720 --> 01:45:46.479
And that's nothing.
01:45:46.800 --> 01:46:04.800
That's nothing to to I mean, look at it how the world's changed, and everyone's like on eggshells concerning Israel and World War III and nuclear weapons and worldwide viruses, all uh everything's falling apart.
01:46:05.359 --> 01:46:18.000
And and here we're approaching two big dates that uh uh a lot of lot of people are going to be talking about them.
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:35.199
And here is e-Bible Fellowship, you know, going on for years now, continuing just to say what we know, and it would make it much more um uh uh uh uh you know uh receivable.
01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:36.000
Is that a word?
01:46:36.239 --> 01:46:42.800
It would make it more easily received by people if they're seeing this everywhere.
01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:48.159
They're they're seeing this everywhere, and biblical evidence for the end, 2033.
01:46:49.279 --> 01:47:05.199
Um so uh I I think the Lord is definitely, of course, preparing things, but maybe in a way we haven't we haven't ever seen before concerning these years to come.
01:47:05.840 --> 01:47:12.720
Because what are people mentioning about 29 that that you know, I mean, we we know about it, but yeah.
01:47:12.880 --> 01:47:24.880
Um I can't I my memory is so bad, but there there was uh individual You keep saying that, but it's not the way the way you remember things in the Bible, yeah.
01:47:28.560 --> 01:47:29.199
Yeah.
01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:39.520
So yeah, there was there was a guy, he was just bringing something up, and he made reference to to to something where some people were talking about 2029.
01:47:39.840 --> 01:47:52.479
And you know, people are talking about 2026, 2028, but when you mentioned 2029, now you're in the area of Christ's first coming or the ministry of Christ.
01:47:53.199 --> 01:47:53.520
Yeah.
01:47:54.159 --> 01:47:54.880
People know that.
01:47:55.119 --> 01:48:02.880
People know that the 15th year of uh Tiberius from 14, right?
01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:10.000
He began to reign, and the 15th uh was when John the Baptist baptized in the 29th year.
01:48:10.560 --> 01:48:29.199
You know why they I even hook heard like um not a Muslim, but somebody I I don't remember who but they they followed the Jewish calendar and ushers, and and according to their calendar, every 2,000 years is a unique event, like from creation to the flood, from the flood to Christ, and then from Christ.
01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:32.000
So they they the wrong time path.
01:48:32.399 --> 01:48:36.800
The wrong time path, but they're they're wrong, they're right for the wrong reason, right?
01:48:36.960 --> 01:48:40.560
So they they go 2,000 years too from the cross.
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:42.640
You know, and they yeah.
01:48:43.039 --> 01:48:46.800
I don't want to be presumptuous, but what about our dear former friends?
01:48:47.039 --> 01:48:51.920
Our dear former friends who who um who labored with us.
01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:54.319
And they're seeing the world upside down.
01:48:54.560 --> 01:49:00.319
You know, I would be so curious to say, what are you seeing in the Bible right now?
01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:08.960
Because I think it's to the point where I would almost feel embarrassed or ashamed because some of these folks have have fought against these teachings.
01:49:09.279 --> 01:49:12.239
Now you're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.
01:49:12.560 --> 01:49:20.560
Because if you if you agree, you have a faithful ministry, if you disagree, you're basically saying it's not raining.
01:49:22.399 --> 01:49:22.800
It's hard.
01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:23.359
It's really hard.
01:49:23.680 --> 01:49:26.319
I think I think a lot of them are probably watching.
01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:33.680
You know, they're probably I mean, I don't know who knows, they might just check in every now and then, but but you're right.
01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:50.000
Um, if the world's seeing how crazy it is, and and they're then people who have um still understanding, you know, they remember probably some of the information.
01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:52.479
They might even still have the books, right?
01:49:52.640 --> 01:49:52.880
Mr.
01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:54.399
Camping's books.
01:49:54.720 --> 01:49:59.760
And and uh here it here it is, and and look where we're approaching.
01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:12.319
So uh and I don't know if they're really into rock and a hard, they might feel that way, but it's a matter of really being between um pride and humility, right?
01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:15.600
The someone's pride might keep them.
01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:21.840
Well, you know, I I can't I can't go back to these guys now after so long.
01:50:22.079 --> 01:50:22.640
Wow.
01:50:22.880 --> 01:50:36.000
And and yet uh you know, uh look at the prodigal, and and who of us is any better or different?
01:50:36.159 --> 01:50:45.520
We we have offended, we have transgressed, we are guilty of a great many things, or I'll speak from I'm guilty of a great many things.
01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:50.159
And and you know, it's the whole nature of the gospel, right?
01:50:50.720 --> 01:50:54.000
Turn, turn, repent.
01:50:54.319 --> 01:51:02.960
Repent means uh when you look at the two words in the Greek, think again, consider again.
01:51:03.600 --> 01:51:09.520
Okay, you you went off, and who knows where you've been?
01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:11.760
Nobody's even gonna ask you.
01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:13.920
I'm not gonna ask.
01:51:14.399 --> 01:51:15.840
Any of you guys are going to ask?
01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:17.359
Uh I won't ask anyone.
01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:20.239
I'll I'll just be very happy to see you.
01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:20.880
Right.
01:51:21.199 --> 01:51:25.039
Very happy to see you if someone were to come back.
01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:27.760
Um, yeah, God reaches us that.
01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:30.000
Did the father go to the son?
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:37.199
And not that we're the father, but but just the idea of how God receives those who have gone away.
01:51:37.439 --> 01:51:41.039
Did the father, when when he saw the son and he went running to him?
01:51:41.279 --> 01:51:42.479
Now, what have you been doing?
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:46.239
What have you didn't I tell you it wasn't that at all?
01:51:46.640 --> 01:51:59.039
It was bring the the the robe, the best robe, and slay the fatted calf, and and let's let's celebrate because this my son was dead and now is alive.
01:51:59.439 --> 01:52:06.640
So um it just might be something built up in a person's mind.
01:52:07.119 --> 01:52:12.960
And it it could, of course, you know, be related to to uh pride.
01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:24.640
And um and the thing to do is, well, you know, uh go you know, you don't even have to come back to e-bible fellowship.
01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:25.920
Go to God.
01:52:26.319 --> 01:52:27.039
Go to God.
01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:28.399
We don't have to see you.
01:52:28.720 --> 01:52:42.319
Go to God, go, go to the truth of the Bible, and just just uh return to the truth, and God will work it out, he'll take it from there.
01:52:43.039 --> 01:52:45.760
Yeah, that prodigal son passage is pretty encouraging.
01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:56.159
I I never thought to look at that in light of judgment day, but it makes sense that that it's uh because if it's their father's house, they have to be within the kingdom.
01:52:56.960 --> 01:53:00.319
And they're they're eating they're eating the husks right now, you know.
01:53:00.479 --> 01:53:08.319
They're probably sitting in the pews and they're hearing some, you know, really awful, awful no no truth, no teaching.
01:53:08.399 --> 01:53:13.840
Well, and they're probably thinking, man, that other faithful ministry, they're getting bred to the full.
01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:23.199
But again, you know, we as Chris stated, they they don't have to come back just for our pride sake or just to see them with our eyes.
01:53:23.359 --> 01:53:25.279
That's that's that's meaningless.
01:53:25.359 --> 01:53:29.920
But we do miss you, uh, some of our dear friends who may be watching this program.
01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:34.239
One wonderful thing is um someone can watch at home, right?
01:53:34.319 --> 01:53:35.520
Yeah, we we won't see.
01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:41.439
They could be, or they can even call or or join on YouTube chat anonymously.
01:53:41.920 --> 01:53:47.359
You you can participate, and nobody would know who you were.
01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:48.560
Yeah, yeah.
01:53:50.960 --> 01:53:55.359
Well, uh, I really enjoyed this this uh this discussion of inheritance.
01:53:55.520 --> 01:53:57.680
You're watching the Bible Exalted.
01:53:59.119 --> 01:54:06.239
What a pleasure it is to be with all you like-minded friends that the Lord has kept us uh since since May 21, 2011.
01:54:06.319 --> 01:54:07.199
I love this program.
01:54:07.359 --> 01:54:17.039
And and once again, folks, if you if we haven't seen you in a while, again, like Chris said, you we don't have to see you, but it is uh a wonderful thing to be in God's word.
01:54:17.840 --> 01:54:19.760
Wonderful thing to be in God's word.
01:54:20.720 --> 01:54:26.720
And to celebrate uh the time that we're living in, even though it's a horrible time, hell on earth.
01:54:26.960 --> 01:54:33.359
We can have programs like this where we can feed on God's word and be sustained and nourished during this time of judgment.
01:54:33.520 --> 01:54:37.840
So until next time, friends, uh may the Lord keep you during this time of judgment.
01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:38.640
Good night.
01:54:41.439 --> 01:54:46.000
You've just heard a pre recording of an e Bible fellowship panel discussion.
