The Pattern That Explains the Entire Bible

WEBVTT
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.900
Before truth can be heard it must be spoken the
00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:11.580
vault absolute truth podcast Welcome to the vault
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:17.300
absolute truth podcast Today's episode is gonna
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.500
be a broad one. It's gonna be a deep one It might
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:22.059
have some episodes that just kind of piggyback
00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:26.280
off of it Just based on how much content is related
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:31.379
to today's episode so You know, most people,
00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:35.719
they don't struggle with believing the Bible.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.799
I'm gonna make a really broad statement there,
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.380
focused mostly towards Christians, obviously.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.880
But out of those folks that accept the Bible
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:57.789
as truth, and rightfully so. The majority of
00:00:57.789 --> 00:01:00.030
those people, they struggle with understanding
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.890
it. Look, I've been there myself, especially
00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:09.989
early in my Christian walk as a believer. And
00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:13.430
it's mostly because when they open it, it can
00:01:13.430 --> 00:01:18.150
very easily feel like a collection of stories
00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:25.469
instead of one unified revelation. And it's not.
00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:31.879
The problem isn't that it's segmented or fragmented
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.079
or broken up into all these different narratives.
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.260
The problem isn't the Bible. It's not scripture.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:44.400
It's not what God shared. A portion of the problem
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.120
and a really big portion of the problem is the
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:58.239
lens we've been reading it through. So what if
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:03.459
scripture isn't random? What if it's not fragmented?
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:11.439
What if it's built on a single consistent pattern?
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.840
And let me say that again because it's a bold
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.800
claim. What if scripture is built on a single
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:31.259
consistent pattern? And what if it appears everywhere?
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.439
And I mean everywhere. What if everything is
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:45.960
an expression of this same pattern? And when
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.259
I mean everything, I mean reality, I mean scripture,
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.960
I mean faith, I mean salvation, I mean everything.
00:02:54.539 --> 00:03:01.669
And what if that pattern leads to one unavoidable
00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:05.949
and undeniable conclusion. What if that pattern
00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:11.669
is a progression towards something or someone?
00:03:14.689 --> 00:03:21.750
And what if Jesus isn't a quote unquote part
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:27.069
of the story? What if he's the entire structure?
00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:32.229
everything so I'm gonna let you guys take a breath
00:03:32.229 --> 00:03:34.289
for a second because I just dropped a lot on
00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:40.250
you right when we're getting started here okay
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:44.789
so hopefully everybody's still with me so let's
00:03:44.789 --> 00:03:47.770
look at what exactly I'm talking about you know
00:03:47.770 --> 00:03:49.770
let's look at where we're mostly comfortable
00:03:49.770 --> 00:03:54.490
and and part of how many of us interpret God's
00:03:54.490 --> 00:04:01.479
Word so Many of us are familiar or maybe even
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.840
intimately know many of the narratives or stories
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.020
or items shared in the Bible, whether it's the
00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:12.699
story of Noah and the flood, whether it's the
00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:17.079
Exodus story, Moses being chosen by God to lead
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.420
the people of Israel out of bondage and towards
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:26.980
the promised land, the story of David. the account
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:34.180
of shepherd that became king, or the story of
00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:38.040
Jesus and redemption, a narrative of redemption
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.079
shared through the gospel. As I said, many of
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.259
us are familiar with these items. We're familiar
00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:49.819
with the account of creation, the garden, Adam
00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:57.839
and Eve, and the time in Eden. What is prevalent
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.819
is the segmentation or the splitting up or the
00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:06.339
fracturing of even, we'll call it fragmentation
00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:10.500
just for lack of better word, of all of these
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.480
items. We kind of put them all in their own little
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.180
drawer and when it's time to go there we open
00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:18.199
that drawer and we take them out and we examine
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.379
them and we interact with them and we delve into
00:05:21.379 --> 00:05:23.620
them and then we put them back in the drawer.
00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:28.399
Like that's its place. Just that place. And now
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.379
that I'm going to something else, I have to leave
00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:35.660
it in that place. That is where I'm going to
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:42.160
challenge us today. So we see the pieces, but
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.019
we miss the pattern. That is what we're going
00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:49.360
to talk about today. We see the pieces, but we
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.459
miss the pattern. And when you miss the pattern,
00:05:53.769 --> 00:05:57.009
the Bible or our interpretation of the Bible,
00:05:57.350 --> 00:06:00.930
it can feel disconnected, it can feel fragmented
00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:04.610
as we said, but we've got to understand that
00:06:04.610 --> 00:06:11.370
it never was and it isn't. So we're going to
00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:13.829
anchor this and we're going to carry that throughout
00:06:13.829 --> 00:06:17.970
our discussion today and throughout this claim
00:06:17.970 --> 00:06:22.629
and the presentation of it. So this is very important.
00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:26.930
So what this pattern and this convergence and
00:06:26.930 --> 00:06:33.970
this thread that ties it all together and it's
00:06:33.970 --> 00:06:38.470
really a breakdown of expressions, but we're
00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:42.370
going to call it a pattern just so I don't leave
00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:46.550
everybody behind. One pattern throughout all
00:06:46.550 --> 00:06:48.629
of scripture and really throughout all of reality
00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:54.389
and that pattern is this initiation formation,
00:06:55.610 --> 00:07:00.629
and completion. All right, so initiation, formation,
00:07:01.629 --> 00:07:08.670
and completion. God initiates, God forms, God
00:07:08.670 --> 00:07:13.449
completes. And there's two anchor scriptures
00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:16.870
that we're gonna use for our understanding of
00:07:16.870 --> 00:07:23.209
it. And that's Romans 11 36. Paul's epistle to
00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:28.009
that church and that group of believers He says
00:07:28.009 --> 00:07:34.230
that all things are from him through him and
00:07:34.230 --> 00:07:41.810
to him Initiation formation completion Romans
00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:45.509
11 36 all things are from him through him and
00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:49.589
to him And then our other anchor, really these
00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:57.350
two pillars are the visual anchors to the structure
00:07:57.350 --> 00:08:02.910
that we're building. John 14 6. So Paul said
00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:08.209
it in Romans, Jesus himself says it in the gospel
00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:13.389
of John 14 6. He says, I am the way, the truth,
00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:17.170
and the life. essentially what he's saying is
00:08:17.170 --> 00:08:21.930
I am the initiation. It is because of me that
00:08:21.930 --> 00:08:25.470
it starts. I am the formation because he said
00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:27.050
he is the Word and the beginning was the Word
00:08:27.050 --> 00:08:28.990
and the Word was with God and the Word was God
00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:34.350
in the beginning. He is the truth and then the
00:08:34.350 --> 00:08:37.690
life. He is eternal life. He is the completion
00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:41.029
of us. He is the destination. He is what the
00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:45.350
progression leads to. So he says, I am the way,
00:08:45.590 --> 00:08:49.149
the truth, and the life. Paul says that all things
00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:52.490
are from him, through him, and to him. And what
00:08:52.490 --> 00:08:56.850
both of these verses are saying is that God initiates,
00:08:57.070 --> 00:09:01.590
God forms. And God completes. Initiation, formation,
00:09:02.049 --> 00:09:04.529
completion. These are not two different ideas
00:09:04.529 --> 00:09:06.769
that are same structure. And they're spoken in
00:09:06.769 --> 00:09:09.730
two different words. From Him is the way. Through
00:09:09.730 --> 00:09:13.409
Him is the truth. To Him is the life. And it's
00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:16.269
not poetry. It's not, oh, whoa, that'll preach.
00:09:16.909 --> 00:09:19.909
It's architecture. It's reality. God designed.
00:09:19.970 --> 00:09:22.730
God created. God put everything in place. The
00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:25.509
plan of redemption. Creation, redemption, the
00:09:25.509 --> 00:09:31.629
kingdom. It's all the same. So let's let it breathe,
00:09:31.649 --> 00:09:35.370
make sure I'm not losing anybody. And now we're
00:09:35.370 --> 00:09:39.230
gonna start tying it into every single aspect
00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:42.049
of scripture. Now for time constraints, we're
00:09:42.049 --> 00:09:44.070
gonna obviously try to hit some of the heavy
00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.929
hitters. Maybe we'll circle back around and have
00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:51.250
specific episodes that delve into these individually
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:54.429
a bit more. But right now we're gonna carry that
00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:57.889
along with us. So remember, initiation, formation,
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:03.679
completion. The way the truth the life from him
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.639
through him to him so we're not gonna rush So
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.659
we'll start at the beginning creation beginning
00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:16.519
for us actually creation Genesis 1 so Genesis
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.820
1 has In the English we kind of read through
00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:25.340
Genesis 1 Genesis 2 that the account of creation
00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:28.860
and we read through it very quickly Because we're
00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:31.539
familiar with it We kind of read to get to the
00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:35.059
next part. But when you actually read it within
00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:38.100
its original context and specifically its original
00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:42.539
language, man, it has so many layers. It's so
00:10:42.539 --> 00:10:46.919
prophetic. It is so layered in convergence and
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:54.460
truth and really it becomes almost the rails
00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:58.360
for the rest of scripture. So let's look at creation.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.620
What happened in the beginning? Well, what did
00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:07.500
God do? He spoke. Let there be light. And in
00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:13.159
Hebrew, that's yehi or. Yehi or let there be
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:20.360
light. So who spoke? God spoke. Where did everything
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.879
come from? It came from God. So who initiated
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:29.659
it? God initiated it. Initiation from Him. the
00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:34.820
way. So then what did he do? Well, that word
00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:40.799
for let there be light and God created something
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.960
out of nothing is the Hebrew word barah, barah.
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.679
And it means just that, to make something from
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.919
nothing. Only God can barah. I can't barah, you
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.100
can't barah, nobody else can barah. Even science
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:56.740
says that something cannot come from nothing.
00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:00.159
So nobody can Barah, only God. Word is specific
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.299
to him. So that is something from nothing, Barah.
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.360
And in the creation days that follow, as God
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.500
is really shaping and forming what he has made,
00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:18.279
what he has spoken, he's putting these things
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.860
in place, but it's a progression towards its
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:26.899
ultimate purpose. And as he's forming these items,
00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:31.759
when they fall into place to their intended purpose,
00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:34.840
God says that they are good. But when he says
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.100
they are good in the Hebrew, it isn't good like
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:42.539
ice cream. He says they are tov. And tov means
00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:47.419
good as in fulfilling its intended purpose, within
00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:49.940
its purpose. That's what tov is. And then God
00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:52.519
said that it is within its purpose, that it is
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:57.179
complete, that it is good. So the the word used
00:12:57.179 --> 00:13:07.299
for this forming is uh is linked to this pattern
00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:10.480
that we are talking about. So it's the word the
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.360
Hebrew word asa. So the uh to make from nothing
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:19.200
is barah and this shaping and and forming really
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:27.720
this ordering is asa. God creates everything,
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.299
and then he orders it. When I share this with
00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:37.340
folks, I'm a big dork, and I use an illustration
00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:43.019
about Legos. You buy a box of Legos, and I didn't
00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:47.019
make the Legos. Somebody else initiated the Legos.
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.679
I just get the box. But when I rip the box open,
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.649
and I... pour the Legos out on the table. The
00:13:55.649 --> 00:14:01.370
Legos exist, but they're not yet progressed towards
00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:06.190
their intended purpose. So they have to be shaped.
00:14:06.289 --> 00:14:08.870
They have to be ordered. They have to be put
00:14:08.870 --> 00:14:14.190
together so they fit within their intended purpose.
00:14:14.190 --> 00:14:17.590
They progress towards their intended purpose.
00:14:17.990 --> 00:14:23.879
So that order formed is a song. formation and
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.419
you see it in the creation days. You start at
00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:31.960
day two and you progress. God forms. So then
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.460
you have day six and he creates man and he creates
00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:41.840
man differently and the word there is yetzor.
00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:45.419
The Hebrew word is yetzor and it's an intimate
00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:51.679
shaping for completion. It's like a potter. finishing
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.559
his work. And, you know, God created, He spoke
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.240
everything else into existence. But when He finished
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.960
man, and He shaped man, it was intimate. He used
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.799
the very earth to form him with His very hands.
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:15.080
Adam. Earth. And then He breathes His very essence,
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.240
His very being, His very spirit, in Hebrew, His
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.269
very ruach. It's very life, it's very light into
00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:28.049
man, completing man in his own image. And this
00:15:28.049 --> 00:15:34.009
leads into the purpose of all creation. Man,
00:15:34.629 --> 00:15:39.250
intimately formed, is the completion of creation.
00:15:39.649 --> 00:15:43.350
And that word is yetzar, yetzar. So we have barah,
00:15:43.370 --> 00:15:46.169
asah, yetzar, for those of you keeping score.
00:15:47.090 --> 00:15:51.710
And these words, mean initiation, formation,
00:15:52.049 --> 00:15:54.850
and completion. You see, creation didn't just
00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:59.169
happen randomly. It followed from Him, through
00:15:59.169 --> 00:16:04.330
Him, to Him. The way, the truth, the life, initiation,
00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:08.110
formation, completion. It followed a pattern.
00:16:08.690 --> 00:16:11.909
And that pattern is the nature of God. It's His
00:16:11.909 --> 00:16:14.690
very being. God didn't say, well, how do I make
00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:16.509
it? He just said, this is who I am and I make
00:16:16.509 --> 00:16:20.690
it. So let's let's progress forward, but let
00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:23.070
me give you guys just a second to take a couple
00:16:23.070 --> 00:16:25.269
deep breaths Make sure I don't lose anybody try
00:16:25.269 --> 00:16:29.889
not to get overly deep because this is profound
00:16:29.889 --> 00:16:37.129
if you want to understand the The complete narrative
00:16:37.129 --> 00:16:39.370
of the Bible and what God is telling us from
00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:41.649
Genesis all the way to Revelation stick with
00:16:41.649 --> 00:16:46.490
us Alright, so let's move Continue move through
00:16:46.490 --> 00:16:48.289
scripture. Let's go in the book of Exodus and
00:16:48.289 --> 00:16:52.509
where we see just a huge foundational visual
00:16:52.509 --> 00:16:58.990
structure of this pattern and That is the tabernacle.
00:16:58.990 --> 00:17:04.779
So in the wilderness Israel has Been led by God
00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:08.119
using Moses out of bondage out of slavery in
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.059
Egypt They come out of Egypt and they're in the
00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:13.259
wilderness and as they're in the wilderness God
00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:17.059
tells Moses and he commands them to build the
00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:20.839
Tabernacle and the Tabernacle is a tent. So it's
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:25.380
a structure and this is where God is going to
00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:29.000
interact and his very presence is going to be
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:34.640
with the people of Israel. So, in Exodus, I think
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:40.980
it's 25 -9, he tells Moses to make this tabernacle,
00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:44.519
to make it in the pattern, and that Hebrew word
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.779
is tabnit, in the tabnit, in the pattern that
00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:51.170
I show you. and it's going to be in the pattern
00:17:51.170 --> 00:17:54.089
of these heavenly things so he's truly saying
00:17:54.089 --> 00:17:56.490
this is the way that heaven is this is the way
00:17:56.490 --> 00:17:58.750
my throne room is this is the way that the things
00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:01.750
in heaven are structured and you're going to
00:18:01.750 --> 00:18:03.910
make it in the same pattern that i'm revealing
00:18:03.910 --> 00:18:07.589
to you and that's god's instruction so as this
00:18:07.589 --> 00:18:10.750
tabernacle is being made it's not just some random
00:18:10.750 --> 00:18:15.309
tent it literally has purpose that's saying something
00:18:15.309 --> 00:18:20.599
revealing something And it's a physical structure
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.839
that is saying this same pattern. So let's go
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.640
into it. It's actually broken up into three portions.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.339
The outer court, the holy place, and the most
00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:32.900
holy place. And as I say those, those are kind
00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:34.940
of like the creation days. So you're going to
00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.039
start at the beginning and then you're going
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.579
to work, you're going to progress towards the
00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:45.759
presence of God. So the outer court is the entryway.
00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:49.299
It was there was a gate that led you you were
00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:51.680
into wilderness and then you went through this
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.700
gate into the outer court and the outer court
00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:56.559
was actually outside of the actual tent but there
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.740
were pieces of furniture and there are two pieces
00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.819
of furniture and they're symbolic I don't want
00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:03.359
to get too far into that but it's the altar of
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.640
sacrifice and the laver so it's the the where
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.380
the blood was shed and where the washing occurred
00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:12.700
as you were moving forward into the presence
00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:15.539
of towards the presence of God And then you had
00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:18.759
the holy place, and this was the larger portion
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.579
in the tent, and there was three pieces of furniture
00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:24.400
there, the lampstand, the table of showbread,
00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:27.480
and the altar of incense, and these are all profound,
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.319
and they have many different layered meanings,
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.859
both specific to the people during this time,
00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:40.900
and also prophetic and symbolic. And so these
00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:44.859
are, this is where the worship occurred. worship
00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:48.099
is a form of ordering. This is where the table
00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:50.420
of showbread which pointed forward to the Word
00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:55.220
of God and was symbolic to it, nourishment, and
00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:57.740
then you have the, and it was unleavened bread
00:19:57.740 --> 00:20:01.319
without sin, holy, and then you have the lamb
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:06.039
stand with the oil and the wicks and the tending
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:11.160
to, and this is the spirit, the continuous process
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.720
of the spirit being there with them, guiding
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.900
them and interacting. And then you have the altar
00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:21.339
of incense, which was to burn continuously with
00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:24.839
only a specific type of incense that could only
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:29.279
be burned there. And that continuous burning,
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.579
it's reflective to... The presence of God being
00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:36.299
continuously there to the prayers of the saints.
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.680
So really you have the three aspects of sanctification
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:42.400
there. What we would call is Christian sanctification.
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.960
You have the Word, you have the Spirit, and you
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.140
have prayer. How we interact with God. The things
00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:54.440
of God that shape us are in this holy place.
00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:57.640
So that's the place of formation. So you have
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:01.690
the entry place, the access, the way. which is
00:21:01.690 --> 00:21:04.710
the outer court, you walk through the gate, the
00:21:04.710 --> 00:21:08.589
blood is shed, you are cleansed, your sin is
00:21:08.589 --> 00:21:12.809
removed, you are washed, and then you can progress
00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:17.549
towards the presence of God. And then it is God
00:21:17.549 --> 00:21:20.630
who forms you, it is you who are willing and
00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:24.549
put yourself in the place, in the progression
00:21:24.549 --> 00:21:27.309
that is leading you towards intimacy with God.
00:21:27.529 --> 00:21:29.869
So it's that same progression we're seeing and
00:21:29.869 --> 00:21:33.559
then you have the holy place, and man, the holy
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.799
place is where the Ark of the Covenant, the last
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.720
piece of furniture was, and man, what a profound
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.339
piece of furniture that is. It was literally
00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:46.740
the place where God said, I will meet with you.
00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:49.700
Here that is what he said to Moses where the
00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:53.240
bottom of the ark which had contents and we're
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:55.819
going to really really quickly In the top of
00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:58.339
the ark, which was the lid that was called the
00:21:58.339 --> 00:22:00.740
mercy seat Which is where the actual blood was
00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:03.660
sprinkled for atonement. God said I will meet
00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:09.019
you at the place where the the the mercy seat
00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:16.910
is meets with the Ark and where the blood is,
00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:20.170
that's the place where I will meet you. And there's
00:22:20.170 --> 00:22:22.730
so much there. I don't want to get too far into
00:22:22.730 --> 00:22:25.569
it. And for lack of a better word, me and my
00:22:25.569 --> 00:22:28.849
buddies say nerd out, but it's just so powerful,
00:22:28.970 --> 00:22:31.289
so profound. I challenge you to look into that
00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:34.829
because it is actually, every aspect of this
00:22:34.829 --> 00:22:39.940
points towards Christ. He was... He was the mercy
00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:43.940
seat. He is the presence. And the actual, real
00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:48.440
quickly, the bottom of the ark was made out of
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.299
Acadia wood. And that's a very common wood that
00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:54.900
was found all throughout the wilderness. It was
00:22:54.900 --> 00:23:00.220
common. And it was completely covered in gold.
00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:04.039
So you had the common covered in gold. And gold
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:09.900
was a symbol of divinity. kingship so you had
00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:15.500
common and divine in the ark so it was not just
00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:18.920
the exterior of the ark but the inside was so
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.059
the whole thing was plated and covered in gold
00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:25.559
the common wood completely plated and covered
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.680
and inside were contents or the the budding staff
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.140
of of Aaron signifying priesthood and life from
00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:37.299
death. It was just a broken branch that that
00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:42.319
budded. You had the tablets of the law again
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:52.519
signifying God's holy ways and priesthood. just
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.259
so that part is so deep again can only go so
00:23:56.259 --> 00:24:00.140
far with it so we can keep moving forward and
00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:02.779
then you had manna the provision that God gave
00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:05.259
them throughout their entire time in the wilderness
00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:07.720
manna means what is it they didn't even know
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.920
what it is what is it I don't know but it's of
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:13.960
God and it nourished us so you had the the nourishment
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.250
that is found in God the the provision is what
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:21.650
it signified. The provision, you had the instruction,
00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:30.890
and you had the broad of Aaron signifying life
00:24:30.890 --> 00:24:33.630
from death and priesthood, and all those things
00:24:33.630 --> 00:24:39.769
are Christ. So you had Christ, who was God, who
00:24:39.769 --> 00:24:43.750
made himself man, who limited himself to the
00:24:43.750 --> 00:24:48.880
common. That's the Acadia wood But he was still
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.539
God. He was still completely divine Fully God
00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:58.440
fully man Acadia wood covered in gold The Ark
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:02.880
is was always pointing to Jesus. It was God revealing
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.319
who he is the perfect expression of him to us
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.329
and then you have the mercy seat which is Heaven
00:25:10.329 --> 00:25:13.190
coming down, the throne room coming down, throne
00:25:13.190 --> 00:25:17.890
of God. That was all gold, not covered. It was
00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:21.549
solid gold. It had two cherubim, which are the
00:25:21.549 --> 00:25:24.910
type of angelic beings that are found on each
00:25:24.910 --> 00:25:28.829
side of the throne in heaven and also were found
00:25:28.829 --> 00:25:34.930
at the entrance to Eden, the place where God's
00:25:34.930 --> 00:25:39.170
presence was interacting with man. Again, these
00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:43.109
angelic beings signify the presence of God. They
00:25:43.109 --> 00:25:47.630
protect His very presence where He's at, His
00:25:47.630 --> 00:25:50.750
throne. So the mercy seat is the throne of God
00:25:50.750 --> 00:25:55.589
and pointing to it and it's Jesus who it's pointing
00:25:55.589 --> 00:25:58.730
to where heaven meets earth is where God said,
00:25:58.890 --> 00:26:04.160
I will meet you and I will come to you. So went
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.220
a lot into that one, but man, that one's so deep.
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.720
That's the most holy place where the presence
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.119
of God is. So we progress from the wilderness.
00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:16.819
He brings us towards Him, progressing into the
00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:19.920
outer core, the initiation of our salvation.
00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:24.980
We call that justification. And that allows us
00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:27.920
to come towards Him in relationship and intimacy.
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.359
And if it's true relationship and true intimacy,
00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:36.099
We allow them to form us by worship and obedience.
00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:41.980
That is the holy place. That's the Word, which
00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:44.099
is a table of show, but it's a lamp stand, the
00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:46.099
Spirit of God that then dwells within us. It's
00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:49.019
the prayer that is how we speak to God as He
00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:52.039
speaks to us through His Word. It's authentic
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.380
worship. We lay ourselves down in worship and
00:26:55.380 --> 00:27:00.259
in obedience, and He forms us through it. It's
00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:04.609
in creation, it's a song. It's that verse. And
00:27:04.609 --> 00:27:11.289
then you have the to Him. You have the life.
00:27:11.329 --> 00:27:14.390
You have the holy place. And it's His presence.
00:27:14.650 --> 00:27:17.690
Everything is progression towards Him. And everything
00:27:17.690 --> 00:27:21.809
is of God. It's Him who saved us. It's Him whose
00:27:21.809 --> 00:27:24.509
blood was shed. It's Him who cleanses us. It's
00:27:24.509 --> 00:27:27.509
Him who shapes us through His Word, through His
00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:30.849
Spirit, through prayer. And it's Him through
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.480
that we ultimately come to. That's the Kingdom.
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.420
That's what Revelation 21 and 22 tell us, that
00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:41.180
it will be new heaven and new earth and new Jerusalem,
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.599
and He will reign here. Man, and that's such
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:50.039
a misconception of, such a misunderstanding within
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.859
Christians today. I mean, one of, to me, it's
00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:55.019
got to be one of the top three misunderstandings
00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:59.180
of what we believe. That, oh, if I do everything
00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:03.440
right, I can just go to God. And there's some
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.099
truth to that. Don't get me wrong. Before Jesus
00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:12.640
comes, those that are in Christ, I'm sure their
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:19.299
soul is with God in heaven. But that's not our
00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:21.799
ultimate destination. We are not intended to
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.160
go strum harps on clouds or go do our favorite
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.799
thing for eternity. That's not eternity. The
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:34.819
Bible tells us that eternity is the kingdom and
00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:37.339
it's not us going to him It's him dwelling with
00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:41.859
us the equivalent of what occurred in Eden That's
00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:45.380
what what the whole Bible is about God created
00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:48.440
for relationship. He had relationship with man
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.880
the crown the apple of his eye the crown jewel
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:57.079
of creation God gives dominion over creation
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.309
to man and in man sins Fellowship is broken.
00:29:03.509 --> 00:29:05.450
Something comes between that relationship and
00:29:05.450 --> 00:29:08.329
how God intended it. And everything from that
00:29:08.329 --> 00:29:14.569
point to the kingdom is from Him, through Him,
00:29:14.809 --> 00:29:18.569
to Him. It's restoration, progression, taking
00:29:18.569 --> 00:29:23.630
care of sin for us. He became sin for us, paid
00:29:23.630 --> 00:29:28.190
the price for us, removed sin from us. So we
00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:31.099
might allow Him to shape us. so we might come
00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:33.980
into his presence and dwell there eternally as
00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:36.319
he dwells with us here in New Heaven, New Earth,
00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:38.940
and New Jerusalem. That's the Bible. Whether
00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:41.279
you like it or not, whether you want to believe
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.160
it or not, whether you think it's something you've
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.960
never heard and it makes you uncomfortable or
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.900
not, that's truth. Open your Bible right now.
00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:51.119
Go get it. Turn to the book of Revelation. Start
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.279
at chapter 21 and 22 and you will find Jesus,
00:29:55.579 --> 00:29:59.920
God, coming here. The Bible tells us that It'll
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:03.599
be the Lamb and God on the throne. One throne.
00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:07.259
The Lamb and God. Who is the Lamb and God? It
00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:14.160
is Jesus. He is coming here to reign. So if that's
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.319
some medicine you're taking, take it. Go learn
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.880
about it. It'll change the way you live your
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.299
life when you realize that this is real and it's
00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:26.039
coming and it's not this pie in the sky thing.
00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:28.720
But I'm way off track, so let's get back on course.
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.579
All right, really quick little nugget just really
00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:35.000
quick before we move forward because I don't
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:38.799
want to leave behind it it just is a I Think
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.400
a beautiful and profound part. So, you know,
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.319
we talked about earlier in Exodus 25 God tells
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.400
Moses to make this the tabernacle make it in
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:54.079
the pattern the Tabernet that I show you It's
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:59.789
a shadow of heavenly things. So God anoints and
00:30:59.789 --> 00:31:03.210
purposes to individuals to build these things.
00:31:03.769 --> 00:31:07.990
Moses is in charge, you know, he's the general
00:31:07.990 --> 00:31:11.329
contractor, let's say. But these are the craftsmen.
00:31:11.630 --> 00:31:16.680
These are the workers. And one is Basilel. Bezalel
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.480
and his name and this is where it's so you know
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.740
God purposing people or were both you and me
00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:25.480
or purposed for a reason that God puts works
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.640
ahead of us for us to be in obedience to and
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.559
this is him and his work God made this guy a
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:39.319
certain way he named him certain way he was purposed
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:43.059
by God for this thing and he completed it and
00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:46.660
he was obedient to it so his very name Bezalel
00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:52.220
means in the shadow of L and L is God with a
00:31:52.220 --> 00:31:58.220
big G so in the shadow of L so this guy's name
00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:01.380
is linked to the things being done that are made
00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:03.819
in the shadow of heavenly things which reflect
00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:06.619
the very being in the nature of God. And his
00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:10.559
name means in the shadow or in the pattern of
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.900
Elf. Man, that's awesome. And the other individual,
00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:20.779
Aholiab who was building and helping with the
00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:22.960
textures and the other fabrics and these other
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:26.880
items there, his name was Aholiab and his name
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:33.829
means Father's tent. Father's tent. So here is
00:32:33.829 --> 00:32:37.349
this tent, the tabernacle, that is being built
00:32:37.349 --> 00:32:40.650
in the pattern of heavenly things for the presence
00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:45.990
of God to dwell with man. And this guy's name
00:32:45.990 --> 00:32:49.430
is Father's tent, his whole purpose. He stepped
00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:52.589
up the bat and hit a home run. And I think that's
00:32:52.589 --> 00:32:55.819
just super... Super profound, super awesome.
00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:59.339
Again, we lose so much within our English translations
00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:01.599
and our modern translations. There are so many
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.819
layers that just testify to how awesome and perfect
00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:07.779
God is and how awesome His Word is. But let's
00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:10.079
move forward. So next pattern, let's kind of
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:14.160
recap. Initiation, formation, completion. That's
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.990
the root of it. From Him. Through him to him
00:33:17.990 --> 00:33:23.009
Romans 1136 and then a gospel of John 14 6 I
00:33:23.009 --> 00:33:26.069
am the way the truth and the life that is what
00:33:26.069 --> 00:33:28.329
this episode is about showing this convergence
00:33:28.329 --> 00:33:30.829
from the beginning all the way back to him the
00:33:30.829 --> 00:33:34.029
entirety of the Bible everything that is revealed
00:33:34.029 --> 00:33:38.630
our Salvation reality all of it is showing this
00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:41.650
pattern and it's not this random inferred thing.
00:33:41.650 --> 00:33:47.119
It is truly a tab knit pattern of heavenly things
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:50.019
and heavenly things are of him. It is the nature
00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:53.819
of God revealed. These are expressions of God
00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:56.740
and they're consistent because they're of him.
00:33:57.700 --> 00:34:01.720
So the feasts, the feasts of the Lord, Moedim,
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:05.579
the appointed times of the Lord. We are just
00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:09.159
a couple of days removed from Passover and in
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:14.429
unleavened bread and ultimately upcoming on the
00:34:14.429 --> 00:34:18.289
feast of first fruits. These are the appointed
00:34:18.289 --> 00:34:21.929
times found in Leviticus 23, which we are commanded
00:34:21.929 --> 00:34:26.110
to remember and never told to stop, never told
00:34:26.110 --> 00:34:28.550
to stop remembering, not necessarily the shedding
00:34:28.550 --> 00:34:31.630
of blood. that comes with Passover and the sacrifice
00:34:31.630 --> 00:34:33.989
because this all pointed towards Jesus and was
00:34:33.989 --> 00:34:36.769
fulfilled in him. But to remember even the feast
00:34:36.769 --> 00:34:40.409
of tabernacles and the prophetic books were told
00:34:40.409 --> 00:34:45.230
that even in the end times in New Kingdom during
00:34:45.230 --> 00:34:47.829
the millennial reign those that were enemies
00:34:47.829 --> 00:34:52.230
of the Lord come before New Jerusalem to celebrate
00:34:52.230 --> 00:34:56.050
the feast of tabernacles and acknowledge Jesus
00:34:56.050 --> 00:35:00.280
as King and as Lord. These are eternal. If they're
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.800
done then, and we're commanded to do them forever
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.059
and remember them forever, and then we're doing
00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:07.460
them when Jesus comes back, and He never said
00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:10.960
stop, then why are we celebrating Easter and
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.880
Christmas and Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:19.980
Day and Valentine's Day and all of these holidays?
00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:25.860
And the things of God that are intertwined with
00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:29.090
this message that He's giving to us. hidden and
00:35:29.090 --> 00:35:31.869
let me tell you they're hidden purposefully by
00:35:31.869 --> 00:35:35.469
the enemy and the world and if you're blind to
00:35:35.469 --> 00:35:40.349
it and I was for a long time you're deceived
00:35:40.349 --> 00:35:50.309
you are in the mouth of the one who is a a lion
00:35:50.309 --> 00:35:55.480
seeking whom to devour So be careful. It's the
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:01.219
enemy who is deceiving and he is a great deceiver
00:36:01.219 --> 00:36:07.579
a liar he mimics and And he wants to deceive
00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:09.400
the very same way he did at the garden so that's
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:12.920
what we find there The feast Leviticus 23 if
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.699
you're interested if you have a Bible mark them
00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:17.860
the appointed times of the Lord and they're really
00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:23.079
broken down into three Three seasonal groups,
00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:27.719
spring, summer, and fall. And spring is kicked
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.760
off by Passover, and it includes unleavened bread
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.360
and first fruits. Those are the spring feasts.
00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:37.980
And they point to the first coming of Christ.
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:40.440
That's what they are. But they are the initiation.
00:36:40.739 --> 00:36:49.460
They are the from Him. They are the the Passover
00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:53.500
lamb being slain. They are sin being removed
00:36:53.500 --> 00:36:56.440
from us unleavened bread They are the first fruits
00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:02.360
of new life in Christ the resurrection That he
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.900
keep he the tomb was empty and he rose on first
00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:10.760
fruits He laid in the tomb during the time of
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.820
unleavened bread and he was on the cross and
00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:17.019
Passover the beginning feast the spring feasts.
00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:19.880
And they are Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles.
00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:22.739
Those are the first, the middle, and the last
00:37:22.739 --> 00:37:29.139
of the feasts. But all together, they are Passover,
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.639
Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, which
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:35.079
is when the law was given, when the Spirit came
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:40.460
down, and the Church was born, and Feast of Trumpets,
00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:47.090
Atonement, Feast of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles.
00:37:50.030 --> 00:37:54.610
So understand it's a progression towards God
00:37:54.610 --> 00:37:59.050
dwelling with man. It's the pattern of feasts
00:37:59.050 --> 00:38:04.670
or the pattern. It's progression to get us back
00:38:04.670 --> 00:38:08.750
into the intimacy of God. It is from Him through
00:38:08.750 --> 00:38:12.760
Him to Him. The way, the truth, the life. It's
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.179
from Him, Passover. It was His blood. He was
00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:19.559
the Lamb. He is the unleavened bread. He is the
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:22.780
one that removed the sin from us. There is no
00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:27.639
sin. In the Bible, leaven or yeast is symbolic
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.780
of sin. That's why they were told to have unleavened
00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:35.760
bread. Bread without yeast. And then first fruits,
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:42.880
the blossoming, new life. It's the death. burial
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.980
and resurrection of Christ. And what does that
00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:48.519
lead us to? Well, what did it lead the early
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:52.780
church to? Pentecost. Where the spirit was given
00:38:52.780 --> 00:38:55.760
to them and purpose was given. Forming. This
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:58.539
is who you are to be and this is what you are
00:38:58.539 --> 00:39:03.880
to do. Obey it or not. And that is that shaping
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:06.320
that we talked about, the through him, the asaw
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:11.579
part of creation. Pentecost, the middle feast.
00:39:11.769 --> 00:39:16.670
and it is the longest feast. It takes the longest
00:39:16.670 --> 00:39:21.550
time frame because shaping is the forming, that
00:39:21.550 --> 00:39:26.349
of God that laying down in preparation. It's
00:39:26.349 --> 00:39:28.789
the days two, three, four, you know, as you're
00:39:28.789 --> 00:39:30.909
going through creation, that was the longest
00:39:30.909 --> 00:39:33.670
time. Initiation was quick of God. And then the
00:39:33.670 --> 00:39:37.050
forming that led to the intimacy. Well, that's
00:39:37.050 --> 00:39:39.960
Pentecost. It's the forming. that leads to the
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:41.760
intimacy. That's why we've got to be so careful.
00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:46.139
For those of us that fight that forming, there's
00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:55.059
a scripture that we come towards God and we think
00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:57.219
we're one thing and he tells us that's not what
00:39:57.219 --> 00:40:01.679
we are. He says, depart from me. I never knew
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.760
you. And he doesn't just say I never knew you,
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:08.539
he says you worker of lawlessness, of iniquity.
00:40:09.110 --> 00:40:11.610
Torah -lessness is really what that word is.
00:40:12.090 --> 00:40:13.530
And what does that mean? Does that mean that
00:40:13.530 --> 00:40:15.590
we have to work for our salvation? That we have
00:40:15.590 --> 00:40:18.590
to follow the Torah? We have to follow the commandments
00:40:18.590 --> 00:40:21.230
or else we're not saved? No, what he's saying
00:40:21.230 --> 00:40:24.510
is that we kind of stayed out in the outer court
00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:28.010
portion, in the from him portion. We clung to
00:40:28.010 --> 00:40:31.070
the cross and didn't want to come towards him.
00:40:31.489 --> 00:40:35.349
So I got the cross. I don't need it. God's word.
00:40:35.710 --> 00:40:38.369
I don't need his spirit. I don't need his prayer,
00:40:38.369 --> 00:40:40.590
meaning I don't need relationship with him. I
00:40:40.590 --> 00:40:43.710
don't need to know him. And then what does he
00:40:43.710 --> 00:40:47.929
tell them? Depart from me. I never knew you.
00:40:48.570 --> 00:40:52.550
They did not allow the formation part. And man,
00:40:53.309 --> 00:40:55.210
you want to talk about profound. You want to
00:40:55.210 --> 00:41:00.170
talk about scary. They said, Lord, Lord, they
00:41:00.170 --> 00:41:05.030
thought they knew him. Because They were hanging
00:41:05.030 --> 00:41:07.670
out in the outer court. But you know what's right
00:41:07.670 --> 00:41:12.250
next to the outer court? The wilderness. They
00:41:12.250 --> 00:41:15.610
look back, just like Lot's wife. Let me look
00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:20.230
back to what was. No, no, he's saving, he's delivering
00:41:20.230 --> 00:41:23.869
you. Keep progressing towards him. No, no, let
00:41:23.869 --> 00:41:28.750
me look back to the things I love, to my flesh.
00:41:29.909 --> 00:41:34.210
Turn into a pillar of salt. Depart from me. You
00:41:34.210 --> 00:41:38.489
worker of iniquity, of torelessness, lawlessness.
00:41:39.329 --> 00:41:43.369
I never knew you. Man. And for those of us that
00:41:43.369 --> 00:41:48.289
do believe, you want to be motivated, look at
00:41:48.289 --> 00:41:50.070
your friends, look at your family, look at your
00:41:50.070 --> 00:41:54.630
neighbors, look at those you worship with. Is
00:41:54.630 --> 00:41:58.369
it real for them? And if it's not, is it because
00:41:58.369 --> 00:42:01.989
it's not real for you? Because that's our testimony.
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:06.500
You want to show them what formation, what God's
00:42:06.500 --> 00:42:08.619
shaping someone looks like, how that brings them
00:42:08.619 --> 00:42:13.380
closer to Him? Live it. When God becomes the
00:42:13.380 --> 00:42:16.739
most important thing, you're in the holy place.
00:42:17.659 --> 00:42:20.219
And it leads you to His presence in the most
00:42:20.219 --> 00:42:23.380
holy place. And I know some of you might not
00:42:23.380 --> 00:42:26.239
like that. Some of you, grace alone, it's only
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:29.880
God. Yes, it is, initiation. He saved me, it's
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.079
His blood. He's the one that removed the sin
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.949
from me. And I say I love him because of it.
00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:40.769
And if I love him, why won't I wrap myself into
00:42:40.769 --> 00:42:44.510
things of him? That's relationship. The purpose
00:42:44.510 --> 00:42:49.929
of creation and the purpose of redemption, renewed
00:42:49.929 --> 00:42:52.809
intimacy and relationship eternally in the kingdom.
00:42:53.250 --> 00:42:55.409
What you call heaven is the kingdom, and that's
00:42:55.409 --> 00:42:58.670
what it is. So if you don't love him now, what
00:42:58.670 --> 00:42:59.849
do you think? You're going to start loving him
00:42:59.849 --> 00:43:05.750
then? Depart from me. Man, that's a tough one.
00:43:06.989 --> 00:43:10.929
It ought to beat us all up. He said, if your
00:43:10.929 --> 00:43:14.010
foot got stepped on, it's time for some quiet
00:43:14.010 --> 00:43:17.949
time of reflection and prayer. And if you haven't
00:43:17.949 --> 00:43:22.090
really laid yourself down as a living sacrifice
00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:25.849
to him, do so. I encourage you. Or find somebody
00:43:25.849 --> 00:43:28.030
that can walk you through some of these items.
00:43:28.289 --> 00:43:31.110
And I would gladly do so if you reach out to
00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:36.920
me. So the feast spring summer fall Passover
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.360
Pentecost tabernacles and and the others that
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.519
are in between You know, it's really God's calendar
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:46.960
and time itself the harvests the feasts all saying
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:50.719
the same thing initiation formation completion
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.719
All right. Let's let's keep pressing because
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:56.500
now this is where it starts hitting hitting home
00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:59.460
salvation You know, when we're talking about
00:43:59.460 --> 00:44:01.659
the understanding and the breakdown in the study
00:44:01.659 --> 00:44:04.860
of salvation and how we interpret the three different
00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:10.239
aspects of salvation, they follow the same from
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:12.360
Him, through Him, to Him, the way, the truth,
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.039
the life, initiation, formation, completion.
00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:21.840
It's the same pattern. Justification, sanctification,
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:27.099
glorification. God doesn't just save, He completes.
00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:31.079
It isn't just the outer court. It isn't just
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.340
the beginning, the initiation. In creation, He
00:44:34.340 --> 00:44:36.420
didn't just say, let there be light. And that
00:44:36.420 --> 00:44:39.780
was the end of it. So that's justification. It
00:44:39.780 --> 00:44:42.460
is the blood. It's through the blood of Christ,
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:46.320
and only God can do that. You just have to accept
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.500
it. But it's of Him. It's like creation, that
00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:53.059
verberon. that we said at the beginning that
00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:55.500
only God can create no one else can make something
00:44:55.500 --> 00:44:59.199
out of nothing well no one else can shed their
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.519
blood and take away your sin that's justification
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:08.679
and and then the washing he didn't just pay the
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:13.599
price for your sin he removed your sin from you
00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:18.380
at that point only God can do that and then sanctification
00:45:18.380 --> 00:45:21.369
that If you're a Christian, if you've ever sat
00:45:21.369 --> 00:45:23.869
through a Sunday school class or a teaching from
00:45:23.869 --> 00:45:27.590
a pastor, you've probably heard sanctification
00:45:27.590 --> 00:45:31.710
kind of described and defined this way. It's
00:45:31.710 --> 00:45:35.889
that lifelong process where you grow closer to
00:45:35.889 --> 00:45:38.969
the things of God, to the nature of God, to holiness,
00:45:39.670 --> 00:45:43.599
and it's shaping. It's ordering. It's the holy
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:47.679
place in the tabernacle. It's a saw during creation,
00:45:47.980 --> 00:45:50.860
that Hebrew verb. It's the Feast of Pentecost
00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:54.780
where the law was given, where the Spirit was
00:45:54.780 --> 00:45:59.579
given. That's what it is. It's truth, the way,
00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:03.219
the truth, the life. It's through Him, from Him,
00:46:03.300 --> 00:46:07.500
through Him, to Him. And it's justification,
00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:11.829
sanctification, glorification. the way, the truth,
00:46:11.909 --> 00:46:16.869
the life. Justification from Him. Sanctification
00:46:16.869 --> 00:46:21.050
through Him. Glorification to Him. You know,
00:46:21.050 --> 00:46:23.630
we always talk about glorification. Oh, when
00:46:23.630 --> 00:46:27.710
I have my glorified body, it's not the body that
00:46:27.710 --> 00:46:30.250
makes you glorified, it's His presence. Now,
00:46:30.250 --> 00:46:32.869
is that a thing? Yes. Scripture tells us that
00:46:32.869 --> 00:46:37.269
we will be renewed, but He's the one that renews.
00:46:37.409 --> 00:46:42.500
It's His presence that does this. So the glorification
00:46:42.500 --> 00:46:44.739
aspect isn't a thing that He's giving you, it's
00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:48.099
Himself that He's giving you. It's to Him. We're
00:46:48.099 --> 00:46:51.980
drawing into His presence. It is a progression.
00:46:52.500 --> 00:46:55.400
They're not three different random aspects. They're
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.579
a progression towards the presence of God, towards
00:46:58.579 --> 00:47:01.239
intimacy and relationship. And that's how we
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:03.900
need to view it because it's the complete structure
00:47:03.900 --> 00:47:07.690
of the Bible. It's our redemption. It's salvation.
00:47:08.190 --> 00:47:11.690
So don't look at it as this one thing and then
00:47:11.690 --> 00:47:14.210
this other thing and then here's this last thing
00:47:14.210 --> 00:47:17.829
that it's a progression. It's a journey that
00:47:17.829 --> 00:47:23.969
He has brought us on and we just have to accept
00:47:23.969 --> 00:47:27.130
it. That's the beauty behind it. He's the one
00:47:27.130 --> 00:47:31.550
that does it. We just accept it. So then we have
00:47:31.550 --> 00:47:33.730
the structure of Scripture. I'm going to try
00:47:33.730 --> 00:47:39.780
to Speed up just a little bit. So what is the
00:47:39.780 --> 00:47:41.820
structure of scripture? The law of the prophets
00:47:41.820 --> 00:47:44.699
and then the gospels and the apostles Christ.
00:47:45.380 --> 00:47:48.119
The law of prophets and Christ. The law defines.
00:47:48.619 --> 00:47:54.820
The prophets call back and shape and call into
00:47:54.820 --> 00:48:00.039
alignment. and then Christ fulfills it. Everything
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.840
is moving somewhere. You actually see it in the
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.719
Gospels on the Mount of Transfiguration. You
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.119
see Jesus, and he picks his intimate group of
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:10.940
disciples, and he says, you guys come with me,
00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:12.840
and they go to this mountain, and it's unnamed,
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.099
but they go to this mountain, and they climb
00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:18.559
to the top, and when they get there, they see
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:22.480
Jesus, and they see Moses, and they see Elijah.
00:48:23.219 --> 00:48:26.500
So you see Moses? And who does Moses signify
00:48:26.500 --> 00:48:29.980
in the Bible and scripture? He signifies the
00:48:29.980 --> 00:48:33.619
law. So you see the law. And then who's the figurehead
00:48:33.619 --> 00:48:36.960
of the prophets? It's Elijah. So they see Moses,
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:40.940
and they see Elijah, and they see Jesus. So they
00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:43.940
see the law, they see the prophets, and they
00:48:43.940 --> 00:48:47.559
see the fulfillment. And when they're up there,
00:48:48.059 --> 00:48:51.670
and Peter says, hey Lord, should I make... tents
00:48:51.670 --> 00:48:56.409
for you guys a place for all three of you and
00:48:56.409 --> 00:49:00.170
the answer is no and when they look back and
00:49:00.170 --> 00:49:03.309
this cloud comes and covers it I believe is how
00:49:03.309 --> 00:49:07.329
it said I don't have it in front of me and when
00:49:07.329 --> 00:49:12.289
they look up again and see the law is no longer
00:49:12.289 --> 00:49:15.889
there the prophets are no longer there the only
00:49:15.889 --> 00:49:18.750
thing that's there is the fulfillment all they
00:49:18.750 --> 00:49:23.440
see is Jesus at that point And man, what a powerful
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:27.980
and deep, deep time there that we just kind of
00:49:27.980 --> 00:49:29.559
sometimes read over and say, man, that's cool.
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:31.199
He took them up there and they saw him in his
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:34.480
transfigured form. But he was just the fulfillment
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:38.440
of it. We seem to miss that part, that there
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:40.699
was a reason why it was Moses, the law. There
00:49:40.699 --> 00:49:42.760
was a reason why it was Elijah, the prophets.
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.679
And there was a reason why it was the fulfillment
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:47.820
of Jesus. And there was a reason why when everything
00:49:47.820 --> 00:49:50.789
cleared, The only thing left was the fulfillment,
00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:53.789
what it always was pointing to, what it always
00:49:53.789 --> 00:49:57.369
was progressing to. It's the progression of scripture.
00:49:58.170 --> 00:50:00.309
Everything is always moving, progressing towards
00:50:00.309 --> 00:50:02.570
the presence and intimacy and fulfillment of
00:50:02.570 --> 00:50:06.809
God. So even the geography, you know, we talked
00:50:06.809 --> 00:50:11.130
about the tabernacle and the temple mimics the
00:50:11.130 --> 00:50:14.010
same pattern, which mimics the pattern in heaven,
00:50:14.070 --> 00:50:16.809
but even the mountains of God are the same thing.
00:50:17.110 --> 00:50:19.269
What was the beginning? What was the initiation?
00:50:19.670 --> 00:50:23.630
Eden. Was his presence there? Yeah. Walked with
00:50:23.630 --> 00:50:25.889
him in the cool of the evening. He said, Adam,
00:50:25.929 --> 00:50:30.750
where are you? And then when it was time to go,
00:50:31.269 --> 00:50:33.829
it was the angelic beings, the cherubim that
00:50:33.829 --> 00:50:36.250
guarded along with the flaming sword. You no
00:50:36.250 --> 00:50:38.809
longer have access. We are protecting the presence
00:50:38.809 --> 00:50:44.489
of God. So the place that initiated it was Eden.
00:50:45.230 --> 00:50:49.389
Sinai. What was given at Sinai? the law. That
00:50:49.389 --> 00:50:52.449
was the mountain where Moses went up. God's presence
00:50:52.449 --> 00:50:56.349
was at the top and Israel was at the foot of
00:50:56.349 --> 00:50:58.769
the mountain and the law was given. Well, what
00:50:58.769 --> 00:51:01.650
is the law? It's ordering, it's shaping, it's
00:51:01.650 --> 00:51:04.849
instruction. This is how you act to come back
00:51:04.849 --> 00:51:09.710
into my presence. And then Moriah. And Moriah
00:51:09.710 --> 00:51:13.590
is fulfillment. It's the mountain. There's the
00:51:13.590 --> 00:51:17.940
ridge of Moriah is where Abraham presented Isaac
00:51:17.940 --> 00:51:21.440
as a sacrifice and God said, no, no, no, I will
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:25.940
provide the sacrifice. And it was a ridge of
00:51:25.940 --> 00:51:30.860
Moriah, which is Golgotha, Calvary, where Jesus
00:51:30.860 --> 00:51:34.460
was crucified. So on that very mountain ridge
00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:40.039
that God told Abraham, no, no, no, I'll do it,
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:43.159
is where he did it. And it was the fulfillment.
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:48.380
everything there and on that very on the the
00:51:48.380 --> 00:51:53.139
plateau is where the temple is and that's where
00:51:53.139 --> 00:51:55.800
the threshing floor was and where the temple
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:57.679
ends up being built and where the new temple
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:01.059
in New Jerusalem will be and that's where Jesus
00:52:01.059 --> 00:52:04.679
ascended and that's where he'll descend again
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:11.840
fulfillment Eden Sinai Moriah the mountains And
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:13.679
then numerically, you know, I don't want to get
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.400
into this one too far, but man, there's numerical
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.900
convergences that say the same thing. You know,
00:52:18.980 --> 00:52:21.579
we talked earlier, Barah, let there be light,
00:52:21.739 --> 00:52:24.460
that initiation. And in Hebrew, that's Yehi Or.
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.760
And Yehi Or has a Hebrew numerical value of 232.
00:52:29.219 --> 00:52:32.860
And if you go to Psalm 33, six, we're also speaking
00:52:32.860 --> 00:52:36.300
of creation. And it says, by the word of the
00:52:36.300 --> 00:52:40.010
Lord. things were made. By the word of the Lord,
00:52:40.010 --> 00:52:43.929
and if you take that, D 'var Yahweh, by the word
00:52:43.929 --> 00:52:48.389
of the Lord, that numerical convergence there,
00:52:48.869 --> 00:52:51.650
both talking about the Logos, the word in the
00:52:51.650 --> 00:52:56.349
beginning, is 232 also. The value of those letters
00:52:56.349 --> 00:52:59.070
equal 232, just like as the values of the letters
00:52:59.070 --> 00:53:02.210
in Let There Be Light equal 232. There's numerical
00:53:02.210 --> 00:53:06.389
convergence that goes into that, you know, and
00:53:07.150 --> 00:53:10.150
In the garden you have, and not really in the
00:53:10.150 --> 00:53:14.730
garden in life, we have a choice. But in Hebrew
00:53:14.730 --> 00:53:20.110
Meshach is Messiah and it has a numerical value
00:53:20.110 --> 00:53:23.269
of 358. And they said a lot of these things are
00:53:23.269 --> 00:53:27.070
just testimonial witnessing aspects, a layer
00:53:27.070 --> 00:53:30.949
that testifies to what truth is, but it exists.
00:53:31.670 --> 00:53:40.690
And Messiah is 358. the sock is 358 and that
00:53:40.690 --> 00:53:44.889
is serpent so you have Messiah and serpent and
00:53:44.889 --> 00:53:47.929
they're both 358 you say well that's not the
00:53:47.929 --> 00:53:54.250
same oh it is it's choice it's the axis of choice
00:53:54.250 --> 00:53:58.210
it's the two trees is it gonna be the tree of
00:53:58.210 --> 00:54:00.650
life or is gonna be the tree of knowledge of
00:54:00.650 --> 00:54:03.030
good and evil which is autonomy you can do it
00:54:03.030 --> 00:54:05.739
you too can be like God So you got to choose
00:54:05.739 --> 00:54:11.699
which 358, Messiah, Messiah, or Nesach, serpent.
00:54:13.019 --> 00:54:16.280
And in 496, completion, that's the numerical
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:18.880
value of the kingdom, and it's a perfect number.
00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:23.860
One of only a few known perfect numbers that
00:54:23.860 --> 00:54:28.380
exist, and that's not coincidental. That's our
00:54:28.380 --> 00:54:32.500
destination, perfection, the kingdom. So even
00:54:32.500 --> 00:54:35.599
the numerical layers reflect that very same progression,
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.059
that very same movement. But again, secondary,
00:54:39.179 --> 00:54:42.659
the structure stands without it. This just falls
00:54:42.659 --> 00:54:46.820
within it and says, well, here it is also. And
00:54:46.820 --> 00:54:50.219
man, we'll wrap it all up together here. All
00:54:50.219 --> 00:54:56.260
right, so let's bring it all together. So let's
00:54:56.260 --> 00:55:00.019
look at this. I mean, I can go on all day long
00:55:00.019 --> 00:55:03.500
with these. I mean all day long to the point
00:55:03.500 --> 00:55:07.519
that you'd be like this is insane because it
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:11.900
it's impossible apart from what what exists it's
00:55:11.900 --> 00:55:16.760
um you see it in every aspect of everything I
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:20.079
mean you can go as random as random can be you
00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:23.000
can go into the Maseroth and the Maseroth are
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:27.639
what uh the The stars and the constellations
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:29.440
were called before they're called what they're
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:32.320
called now and the first one is Virgo and it
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:34.519
aligns these constellations actually are 12 and
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:38.019
they align with the tribes of Israel if you didn't
00:55:38.019 --> 00:55:40.260
know that look into it very interesting stuff
00:55:40.260 --> 00:55:44.179
and it predates what our normal what our horoscope
00:55:44.179 --> 00:55:47.099
is now and what what we call them that all came
00:55:47.099 --> 00:55:49.639
to be with with the Greeks and the Romans and
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:54.699
all that but The first sign is Virgo the Virgin
00:55:55.070 --> 00:55:58.650
It's God initiates. It's the virgin birth. And
00:55:58.650 --> 00:56:02.510
then the middle one is Aquarius. It's a woman
00:56:02.510 --> 00:56:06.530
reaching down and washing in water. It's the
00:56:06.530 --> 00:56:10.309
spirit and it shapes and cleanses. And then the
00:56:10.309 --> 00:56:14.030
last one is Leo, the culmination. It's the king.
00:56:14.369 --> 00:56:18.079
It's the kingdom. It's the sun completing. Those
00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:21.019
are from him, through him, to him. Those are
00:56:21.019 --> 00:56:23.920
initiation, ordering, completion. It's the way,
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:28.099
the truth, the life. It's even in the stars,
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.579
he put it up there, he said, because those are
00:56:30.579 --> 00:56:34.780
markers for the appointed times. It's everywhere.
00:56:35.469 --> 00:56:38.389
I mean, the books of the Bible are structured
00:56:38.389 --> 00:56:40.110
that way. Book of Romans is structured that way.
00:56:40.150 --> 00:56:42.150
Book of Psalms is structured that way. The entire
00:56:42.150 --> 00:56:44.650
Bible is structured that way. Book of Nehemiah
00:56:44.650 --> 00:56:48.010
is structured that way. It's bronze, gold, and
00:56:48.010 --> 00:56:50.570
the ark. It's the progression towards the holy
00:56:50.570 --> 00:56:53.849
things. Even the medals are that. It's the cross,
00:56:53.909 --> 00:56:58.030
the grave, and the resurrection. All of it is
00:56:58.030 --> 00:56:59.429
just saying the same thing. All of it's saying
00:56:59.429 --> 00:57:01.889
justification, sanctification, glorification.
00:57:02.269 --> 00:57:09.099
All of it. It's Father, Spirit, Son, the initiator,
00:57:10.219 --> 00:57:14.239
the one who leaves us to shape us, and the complete
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:17.019
and perfect embodiment of God the Father, and
00:57:17.019 --> 00:57:20.340
the completeness, the full deity. Hebrews tells
00:57:20.340 --> 00:57:23.400
us that, that Christ is the fullness of the deity.
00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:29.559
And we see that, Paul writes that also, which
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:32.750
Hebrews... you know in all honesty probably Paul
00:57:32.750 --> 00:57:36.929
writing that too but um he's the embodiment of
00:57:36.929 --> 00:57:39.769
it but he's also the destination we progress
00:57:39.769 --> 00:57:43.449
towards intimacy with him uh father of spirit
00:57:43.449 --> 00:57:46.650
jesus is the perfect expression of god where
00:57:46.650 --> 00:57:49.369
he dwells and he will dwell with us uh so you
00:57:49.369 --> 00:57:55.429
see it in every aspect of everything and it can't
00:57:55.429 --> 00:58:03.500
be an accident it can't be uh this This, oh well,
00:58:03.659 --> 00:58:05.920
just happenstance that absolutely everything
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:09.739
is structured this way. It's the beginning was
00:58:09.739 --> 00:58:11.739
the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word
00:58:11.739 --> 00:58:14.000
was God. It's initiation, it's ordering, and
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:18.719
it's completion. Even the Hebrew alphabet is
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:20.960
that way. The first letter, the 11th letter,
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:23.300
and the 22nd letter, they mean the very same
00:58:23.300 --> 00:58:25.199
thing. The first letter means God. It's only
00:58:25.199 --> 00:58:30.360
of God. The middle letter, Kaph. The symbol for
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:35.539
it is a hand reaching down to order. And then
00:58:35.539 --> 00:58:40.079
the last letter is tov and it's cross, it's covenant,
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:44.940
it's complete. You see it in every aspect of
00:58:44.940 --> 00:58:49.699
every single thing. Body, spirit, soul. Your
00:58:49.699 --> 00:58:53.519
body is, you come to be. Your spirit is the ordering
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:55.699
of who you are and your soul is the eternal that
00:58:55.699 --> 00:58:59.400
will be forever. It's the same thing everywhere.
00:58:59.880 --> 00:59:02.340
You say, man, you really made all this stuff.
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.539
No, it's reality. And it's all an expression
00:59:05.539 --> 00:59:08.900
of the one that everything came from. So when
00:59:08.900 --> 00:59:11.360
a structure appears across language, across time,
00:59:11.500 --> 00:59:14.980
across geography, across theology, across history,
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:17.440
I think there's just not a lot of options left.
00:59:17.539 --> 00:59:19.780
Either it happened by chance, which I'm going
00:59:19.780 --> 00:59:23.559
to say is impossible, or someone designed it.
00:59:23.659 --> 00:59:26.599
And it's an expression of the designer. And when
00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:30.519
you remove chance, and you remove human control
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.780
over all of these domains, really only one explanation
00:59:34.780 --> 00:59:40.280
remains. You see, Jesus doesn't introduce the
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:46.039
pattern. He fulfills it. Jesus didn't say, I
00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:48.420
am the way, the truth, and the life. He was revealing
00:59:48.420 --> 00:59:54.219
that he is the entry point, the alignment, and
00:59:54.219 --> 01:00:01.119
the destination. He's not just in the story.
01:00:02.300 --> 01:00:06.780
And it isn't a story. It's reality and it's the
01:00:06.780 --> 01:00:10.300
narrative of all things. He is what the entire
01:00:10.300 --> 01:00:12.760
narrative, what the entire story, what the entire
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:16.860
progression has been structured around from the
01:00:16.860 --> 01:00:22.239
beginning. And we'll finish up here. The pattern
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:26.559
is not pointing to a concept. It's pointing to
01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:31.820
a person. So the question isn't just, do you
01:00:31.820 --> 01:00:37.059
understand the Bible? The question is, do you
01:00:37.059 --> 01:00:39.619
recognize this pattern that has been presented?
01:00:40.699 --> 01:00:45.519
This bold claim. And more importantly, do you
01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:50.639
recognize where it leads? Because if this is
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.880
true, and I absolutely believe it to be true.
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:57.460
I presented it to you. Refute it. I'm all ears.
01:00:58.780 --> 01:01:02.739
But if this is true, then everything in scripture,
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:07.119
everything in reality, is not just revealing
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:14.719
truth. It's revealing Him. From Him, through
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:23.250
Him, to Him. The way, the truth, the life. So
01:01:23.250 --> 01:01:26.369
guys if you enjoyed this and I did I could go
01:01:26.369 --> 01:01:30.409
on all day with this stuff. It is just so humbling
01:01:30.409 --> 01:01:35.110
and profound and simple Just when you understand
01:01:35.110 --> 01:01:38.650
That it's all pointing to him. It all makes sense.
01:01:38.650 --> 01:01:43.250
It's not 66 different stories It's one expression
01:01:43.250 --> 01:01:48.050
broken up. It's one structure Broken up into
01:01:48.050 --> 01:01:50.670
66 different expressions and he is the structure.
01:01:50.829 --> 01:01:55.150
He is salvation He is God. And everything else
01:01:55.150 --> 01:01:58.309
is just bringing us back towards Him in a progression
01:01:58.309 --> 01:02:01.510
towards His presence and intimacy. But no, I
01:02:01.510 --> 01:02:05.250
just, a lot of this is in the book that we just
01:02:05.250 --> 01:02:08.849
released, The Way, The Truth, The Life. You can
01:02:08.849 --> 01:02:11.309
find this one on Amazon. This one so far is just
01:02:11.309 --> 01:02:14.710
an Amazon exclusive, but you can find it on Amazon.
01:02:15.389 --> 01:02:19.130
It is, you can find it also through AlexisARamos
01:02:19.130 --> 01:02:23.000
.com, or you can just, search my name on Amazon,
01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:26.940
it'll pop up. I encourage you. It has over 20
01:02:26.940 --> 01:02:30.239
visuals, teaching visuals. I use them also on
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:32.579
social media. If you follow me on social media,
01:02:32.699 --> 01:02:34.940
you've probably seen some of them. Very simple.
01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:43.280
Actually, it tried to make it so simple that
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:46.539
the pushing narrative behind the book is red,
01:02:46.780 --> 01:02:49.340
blue, and green. That's how simple we want to
01:02:49.340 --> 01:02:52.630
make. the way, the truth, the life, red, blue,
01:02:52.670 --> 01:02:56.050
green, initiation, ordering, completion, from
01:02:56.050 --> 01:02:58.570
him, through him, to him. It's just red, blue,
01:02:58.769 --> 01:03:01.289
green. You can remember red, blue, green. You

01:03:10.030 --> 01:03:12.150
it if you didn't enjoy it keep it to yourself.
01:03:12.150 --> 01:03:13.969
We don't we don't need any of that in our life
01:03:13.969 --> 01:03:17.690
Okay, but reviews definitely help it adds credibility
01:03:17.690 --> 01:03:19.989
to the message of simple truth. We're trying
01:03:19.989 --> 01:03:23.389
to share We want more people to understand. I
01:03:23.389 --> 01:03:25.989
think it's important. I think it's one of the
01:03:25.989 --> 01:03:28.769
most important things apart from salvation is
01:03:28.769 --> 01:03:32.170
that they understand that God's truth is one
01:03:32.170 --> 01:03:34.869
thing. It's not 66 different things. It's not
01:03:34.869 --> 01:03:37.309
two different things Old Testament New Testament
01:03:37.659 --> 01:03:40.239
And it doesn't say a bunch of different things.
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:43.780
It says the same thing in every aspect of it.
01:03:43.820 --> 01:03:46.460
Even you and I are made up in the same way. So
01:03:46.460 --> 01:03:51.739
guys, remember Malachi 3 .6, I the Lord do not
01:03:51.739 --> 01:03:54.500
change. He is perfect. His ways are perfect.
01:03:54.619 --> 01:03:57.599
His nature is perfect. The expressions of him
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.960
is perfect. The fulfillment of him, Jesus Christ,
01:04:01.219 --> 01:04:05.710
is perfect. So if... If you're not following
