03:42.934 --> 03:45.502 redemption' that runs all the 03:45.502 --> 03:47.968 way from Genesis 3:15 to the 03:47.968 --> 03:49.801 end of the human experience 03:49.801 --> 03:50.968 and we're going to just chase 03:50.968 --> 03:54.435 it down, because again, Satan 03:54.435 --> 03:57.268 knowing that the only way God 03:57.268 --> 04:01.767 can remain God is to keep all 04:01.767 --> 04:04.335 of this intact. And if Satan 04:04.335 --> 04:06.501 can do anything to destroy 04:06.501 --> 04:09.134 this 'scarlet thread of 04:09.134 --> 04:11.502 redemption' then the whole 04:11.502 --> 04:13.502 thing falls apart. Now it 04:13.502 --> 04:17.201 starts right off as soon as 04:17.201 --> 04:18.601 Adam and Eve have the two 04:18.601 --> 04:22.101 sons, Cain and Abel and Cain 04:22.101 --> 04:26.235 rises up and kills Abel. Well, 04:26.235 --> 04:28.034 in our day and time, it's just 04:28.034 --> 04:30.601 another murder, but so far as 04:30.601 --> 04:32.235 Cain and Abel was concerned it 04:32.235 --> 04:33.701 was Satan's attempt to 04:33.701 --> 04:36.868 immediately break the scarlet 04:36.868 --> 04:38.268 line of redemption because the 04:38.268 --> 04:41.068 Redeemer was to come through 04:41.068 --> 04:44.301 Abel. And certainly not Cain. 04:44.301 --> 04:45.567 Now in order to pick up that 04:45.567 --> 04:47.834 thread of redemption, I'm 04:47.834 --> 04:48.901 going to just take the easy 04:48.901 --> 04:50.734 way out and I'm going to jump 04:50.734 --> 04:52.502 all the way up to Matthew 04:52.502 --> 04:54.934 chapter 1 and then we'll have 04:54.934 --> 04:56.901 to finish the genealogies or 04:57.435 --> 05:02.968 the scarlet thread in Luke 05:02.968 --> 05:05.068 chapter 3. But first let's 05:05.068 --> 05:06.767 look at the genealogies in 05:06.767 --> 05:08.767 chapter 1. Now it's been a 05:08.767 --> 05:10.001 long time since we've done 05:10.001 --> 05:12.268 this on the program, so I hope 05:12.268 --> 05:14.834 I'm not guilty of repeating 05:14.834 --> 05:16.001 something that doesn't need 05:16.001 --> 05:18.567 repeating. But, again one of 05:19.134 --> 05:22.201 the intricacies of Scripture 05:22.201 --> 05:26.567 is that Matthew's genealogy of 05:26.567 --> 05:28.734 Christ's first advent only 05:28.734 --> 05:30.934 goes from Christ back to 05:30.934 --> 05:33.001 Abraham. And that of course, 05:33.001 --> 05:37.001 the reason is, that the King 05:37.001 --> 05:40.301 is what Matthew presents and 05:40.301 --> 05:42.301 the King was an unknown entity 05:42.301 --> 05:43.968 of Scripture until we get 05:43.968 --> 05:46.901 to Abraham. So, Matthew's 05:46.901 --> 05:49.001 genealogy will only go from 05:49.001 --> 05:53.301 Abraham until we get to the 05:53.301 --> 05:54.701 coming of Christ in His first 05:54.701 --> 05:56.667 advent and then we'll have to 05:56.667 --> 05:59.001 pick up Luke chapter 3 to find 05:59.001 --> 06:00.801 the genealogy from Abraham 06:00.801 --> 06:02.934 back to Adam. Now if you'll 06:02.934

--> 06:04.101 turn with me then to Matthew 06:04.101 --> 06:06.335 chapter 1 and we start out 06:06.335 --> 06:08.634 with verse 1, that "This is 06:08.634 --> 06:10.134 the book of the generations of 06:10.134 --> 06:12.034 Jesus Christ." The One that 06:12.034 --> 06:15.134 was born at Bethlehem who is 06:15.134 --> 06:17.001 referred to here as "the son 06:17.001 --> 06:18.501 of David." And that of course 06:18.501 --> 06:19.834 kicks right back to the 06:19.834 --> 06:21.468 Davidic covenant, that's what 06:21.468 --> 06:22.834 the covenant was all about 06:22.834 --> 06:24.468 that through the line of David 06:24.468 --> 06:27.201 would come Israel's Redeemer 06:27.201 --> 06:29.201 and Messiah. All right, ".the 06:29.201 --> 06:31.301 son of David who was (of 06:31.301 --> 06:33.634 course) the son of Abraham." 06:33.634 --> 06:35.401 Now here comes the genealogy. 06:35.401 --> 06:37.834 "Abraham begat Isaac. And 06:37.834 --> 06:39.901 Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob 06:39.901 --> 06:41.301 begat Judas" and so on and so 06:41.301 --> 06:42.301 forth. And you come all the 06:42.301 --> 06:43.868 way down through this 06:43.868 --> 06:47.368 genealogy, generation after 06:47.368 --> 06:49.701 generation until you come all 06:49.701 --> 06:54.068 the way down to verse 16, not 06:54.068 --> 06:56.435 the same Jacob of Abraham and 06:56.435 --> 06:59.001 Isaac, but a Jacob of Christ's 06:59.001 --> 07:01.468 time, "begat (or was the 07:01.468 --> 07:04.634 father of) Joseph, who was the 07:04.634 --> 07:07.534 husband of Mary, (and Mary was 07:07.534 --> 07:09.567 the one) of whom was born 07:09.567 --> 07:11.168 Jesus who is called the 07:11.168 --> 07:13.134 Christ." All right, now then 07:13.134 --> 07:14.734 if you skip over to Luke 07:14.734 --> 07:17.701 chapter 3 we can pick up the 07:17.701 --> 07:20.567 rest of that scarlet line 07:20.567 --> 07:23.134 of redemption that Satan 07:23.134 --> 07:24.901 constantly attempted 07:24.901 --> 07:27.968 to disrupt. But, God 07:27.968 --> 07:29.734 providentially prevented it. 07:29.734 --> 07:33.268 Now in Luke 3 starting in 07:33.268 --> 07:36.502 verse 23, we start from 07:36.502 --> 07:38.701 the birth of Christ and go 07:38.701 --> 07:42.801 backwards. Now Matthew started 07:42.801 --> 07:45.134 with Abraham and came forward. 07:45.134 --> 07:47.634 But here Luke is going to do 07:47.634 --> 07:49.268 just the opposite and again, 07:49.268 --> 07:50.667 we won't read all of the 07:50.667 --> 07:52.301 names. I merely want to make 07:52.301 --> 07:54.335 the point that here we have 07:54.335 --> 07:57.001 that constant genealogical 07:57.001 --> 08:00.968 line all the way from Adam up 08:00.968 --> 08:03.568 to Jesus and His birth in 08:03.568 --> 08:06.468 Bethlehem. All right, verse 23 08:06.468 --> 08:09.368 of Luke chapter 3, "And Jesus 08:09.368 --> 08:11.401 himself began to be at the age 08:11.401 --> 08:13.001 of thirty years, being as was 08:13.001 --> 08:15.335 supposed the son of Joseph." 08:15.335 --> 08:16.368 And of course we know that 08:16.368 --> 08:18.068 Joseph was not His physical 08:18.068 --> 08:20.268 father, he was merely the 08:20.268 --> 08:23.535 legal father. And so, "Joseph 08:23.535 --> 08:27.235 was of Heli and Heli was the 08:27.235 --> 08:29.268 son of Matthat" and so on down 08:29.268 --> 08:30.767 and we're not going to read 08:30.767 --> 08:31.767 all these names but you can do 08:31.767 --> 08:33.235 that in your spare time. And 08:33.235 --> 08:34.268 then all of a sudden you come 08:34.268 --> 08:39.101 on down to verse, oh let's 08:39.101 --> 08:40.435 just jump in where the names 08:40.435 --> 08:45.901 get familiar. Verse 34, verse 08:45.901 --> 08:51.535 34, "Who was the son of Jacob, 08:51.535 --> 08:53.934 who was the son of Isaac, who 08:53.934 --> 08:56.534 was the son of Abraham, who 08:56.534 --> 08:57.901 was the son of Terah, (now 08:57.901 --> 08:59.068 we're going beyond what 08:59.068 --> 09:01.834 Matthew had) who was the son 09:01.834 --> 09:04.568 of Nachor, (and then we come on 09:04.568 --> 09:06.535 down that) Nachor was the son 09:06.535 --> 09:07.801 of Saruch, who was the son of 09:07.801 --> 09:09.235 Ragau who was the son of 09:09.235 --> 09:10.901 Phalec." And all the way 09:10.901 --> 09:16.368 down to verse 37, "Noah (now) 09:16.368 --> 09:20.268 was the son of Mathusala, 09:20.268 --> 09:23.401 Mathusala was the son of Enoch 09:23.401 --> 09:25.834 and Enoch was the son of Jared 09:25.834 --> 09:28.268 who was the son of Maleleel, 09:28.268 --> 09:29.801 who was the son of Cainan who 09:29.801 --> 09:31.201 was the son of Enos who was 09:31.201 --> 09:33.934 the son of Seth." Now that 09:33.934 --> 09:35.335 name rings a bell. He's the 09:35.335 --> 09:37.801 one who took Abel's place. 09:37.801 --> 09:42.001 "And Seth was the son of Adam, 09:42.001 --> 09:43.301 who was (of course) the son of 09:43.301 --> 09:45.401 God" by virtue of creation. 09:45.401 --> 09:47.601 All right now then if you just 09:47.601 --> 09:49.934 look at human history and one 09:49.934 --> 09:52.368 of the more graphic examples 09:52.368 --> 09:54.901 is the book of Esther. And in 09:54.901 --> 09:55.868 the book of Esther you 09:55.868 --> 09:58.435 remember that this one wicked 09:58.435 --> 10:01.468 individual in the government 10:01.468 --> 10:02.767 of that time, I think it was 10:02.767 --> 10:05.235 King Artaxerxes, he got the 10:05.235 --> 10:07.134 grand idea that if he could 10:07.134 --> 10:09.034 just get the king to make a 10:09.034 --> 10:12.834 decree to destroy every Jew in 10:12.834 --> 10:14.701 the kingdom, then he would 10:14.701 --> 10:16.634 rise to a place a preeminence, 10:16.634 --> 10:19.034 because he hated the Jews. 10:19.034 --> 10:22.834 Well, he almost made it work, 10:22.834 --> 10:25.468 but you see, the queen was a 10:25.468 --> 10:28.101 Jewess and she intervened on 10:28.101 --> 10:29.901 behalf of her people and of 10:29.901 --> 10:31.368 course

through God's 10:31.368 --> 10:33.502 providence, Queen Esther was 10:33.502 --> 10:36.535 able to stop the decree. Haman 10:36.535 --> 10:37.934 instead went to the gallows 10:37.934 --> 10:40.068 instead of the Jew that he was 10:40.068 --> 10:41.767 trying to get rid of and so 10:41.767 --> 10:45.767 the scarlet line continued on. 10:45.767 --> 10:48.601 But always remember from day 10:48.601 --> 10:51.268 one, from the very onset of 10:51.268 --> 10:53.001 Adam coming out of the Garden, 10:53.001 --> 10:54.168 Satan is going to do 10:54.168 --> 10:55.968 everything in his power to 10:55.968 --> 10:58.968 thwart the fulfillment of His 10:58.968 --> 11:00.968 prophetic program. And of 11:00.968 --> 11:03.001 course, at the heart of it, 11:03.001 --> 11:04.667 once we get past Abraham, is 11:04.667 --> 11:07.201 the Nation of Israel. And I'm 11:07.201 --> 11:08.401 always pointing that out, 11:08.401 --> 11:09.502 especially in my local 11:09.502 --> 11:12.235 classes, don't ever wonder why 11:12.235 --> 11:14.767 the Jews are so hated by 11:14.767 --> 11:17.001 mankind in general. It isn't 11:17.001 --> 11:18.401 because they deserve the 11:18.401 --> 11:19.534 hatred, it's because Satan 11:19.968 --> 11:21.734 knows that they are 11:21.734 --> 11:24.734 instrumental in fulfilling all 11:24.734 --> 11:27.268 the promises of God. And if 11:27.268 --> 11:28.934 you take the Jew off the scene 11:28.934 --> 11:32.368 then the whole Bible falls 11:32.368 --> 11:34.667 apart, because you cannot have 11:34.667 --> 11:36.133 end time prophecy without 11:36.667 --> 11:39.868 Israel in the land. And so 11:39.868 --> 11:42.701 even today, why is the Arab 11:42.701 --> 11:45.767 world so intent on driving 11:45.767 --> 11:47.667 every last Israeli into the 11:47.667 --> 11:49.868 Mediterranean Sea? Well it 11:49.868 --> 11:51.801 isn't just the Arab world, 11:51.801 --> 11:53.368 it's the Satan behind it who 11:53.368 --> 11:55.934 is determined to get rid of 11:55.934 --> 11:57.901 the Nation of Israel so that 11:57.901 --> 11:59.368 he can be with winner and God 11:59.368 --> 12:01.168 will be the loser. But you 12:01.168 --> 12:03.134 see, fortunately God is still 12:03.134 --> 12:05.268 the all-powerful and God has 12:05.268 --> 12:07.468 decreed that it will never 12:07.468 --> 12:08.901 happen. And again, the way 12:08.901 --> 12:10.168 things are shaking out in the 12:10.168 --> 12:12.268 Middle East we know that the 12:12.268 --> 12:14.168 peace process, once again, is 12:14.168 --> 12:16.667 becoming front page news but 12:16.667 --> 12:18.767 behind the scenes remember 12:18.767 --> 12:20.634 there's still that satanic 12:20.634 --> 12:22.368 effort that no matter what the 12:22.368 --> 12:23.901 little Nation of Israel does 12:23.901 --> 12:25.734 he wants it to be their 12:25.734 --> 12:28.301 demise. He wants it to set 12:28.301 --> 12:30.034 the stage for their final 12:30.034 --> 12:32.001 destruction. And of course, I 12:32.001 --> 12:33.634 haven't even mentioned Hitler 12:33.634 --> 12:34.868 and the Holocaust. That again 12:34.868 --> 12:37.435 was another satanic endeavor 12:37.435 --> 12:39.435 to get rid of the Jew, to 12:39.435 --> 12:40.701 cleanse the earth of every 12:40.701 --> 12:42.101 last one of them. And then 12:42.101 --> 12:43.667 of course, Satan would be 12:43.667 --> 12:45.200 victorious. But fortunately we 12:45.801 --> 12:47.601 have the promises of Scripture 12:47.601 --> 12:49.767 that God is always going to be 12:49.767 --> 12:51.567 superior. Now drop back with 12:51.567 --> 12:53.767 me a minute to Jeremiah 31 12:53.767 --> 12:55.801 because we know there are so 12:55.801 --> 12:58.567 many, especially prominent 12:58.567 --> 13:00.401 preachers and Bible teachers 13:00.401 --> 13:01.567 who take this approach that 13:02.168 --> 13:03.934 God's all through with Israel. 13:03.934 --> 13:06.134 That even the Jews that claim 13:06.134 --> 13:08.134 to be Jews aren't Jews at all. 13:08.134 --> 13:10.134 They're imposters. Well, I beg 13:10.134 --> 13:12.268 to differ, on the basis of the 13:12.268 --> 13:14.301 Word of God and we've used 13:14.301 --> 13:15.567 these verses before and we'll 13:15.567 --> 13:17.034 probably use them again 13:17.034 --> 13:18.834 especially when we get to the 13:18.834 --> 13:23.201 New covenant. Jeremiah 31, and 13:23.201 --> 13:25.034 drop down to verse 35. See, 13:25.034 --> 13:27.468 this just guarantees that in 13:27.468 --> 13:29.734 spite of all Satan's power, in 13:29.734 --> 13:31.701 spite of his fomenting the 13:31.701 --> 13:34.468 hatred of the Jew, God has 13:34.468 --> 13:37.168 mandated that it's not going 13:37.168 --> 13:39.068 to happen. Israel is not 13:39.068 --> 13:40.801 going to disappear. All right, 13:40.801 --> 13:43.001 Jeremiah 31 drop down to verse 13:43.001 --> 13:46.168 35, "Thus saith the LORD who 13:46.168 --> 13:48.401 gives the sun for a light by 13:48.401 --> 13:50.634 day and the ordinances of the 13:50.634 --> 13:52.634 moon and the stars for a light 13:52.634 --> 13:53.601 by night." In other words, 13:53.601 --> 13:56.502 He's in control of all of the 13:56.502 --> 14:00.568 universe. Every body of space 14:00.568 --> 14:03.435 is under His control. And like 14:03.435 --> 14:04.634 I've mentioned in previous 14:04.634 --> 14:05.834 programs, have you ever 14:05.834 --> 14:07.567 stopped to think, that with 14:07.567 --> 14:09.268 all those billions, upon 14:09.268 --> 14:11.834 billions, upon billions of 14:11.834 --> 14:14.667 stars and bodies in space, 14:14.667 --> 14:15.767 they're not crashing into each 14:15.767 --> 14:18.435 other? They are all in perfect 14:18.435 --> 14:21.868 harmony one with another. Why? 14:21.868 --> 14:23.934 Well that's no accident. The 14:23.934 --> 14:25.767 Creator God is in control. All 14:25.767 --> 14:27.001 right, now He is in such 14:27.001 --> 14:29.568 control of the universe, then 14:29.568 --> 14:31.401 how much more can't He control

14:31.401 --> 14:33.435 our little solar system, 14:33.435 --> 14:34.667 because it is just a little 14:34.667 --> 14:36.301 nothing compared to the whole. 14:36.301 --> 14:38.634 But here it is. That "if the 14:38.634 --> 14:41.368 sun and the moon and the stars 14:41.368 --> 14:42.435 by night, which divide the 14:42.435 --> 14:45.001 sea. (Now verse 36.) If 14:45.001 --> 14:47.667 (that's the condition, 14:47.667 --> 14:49.401 that).if those ordinances 14:49.401 --> 14:51.435 depart." In other words, if 14:51.435 --> 14:52.934 the moon should fall out of 14:52.934 --> 14:54.368 its orbit. If the sun would 14:54.368 --> 14:56.201 suddenly burn out and quit 14:56.201 --> 14:58.934 sustaining the universe, 'if 14:58.934 --> 15:00.734 the sun and all these things 15:00.734 --> 15:03.368 would cease from being' ".and 15:03.368 --> 15:04.734 if they should depart, then 15:04.734 --> 15:06.535 the LORD says, the seed of 15:06.535 --> 15:08.801 Israel shall cease from being 15:08.801 --> 15:10.667 a nation before me." Verse 37, 15:10.667 --> 15:13.001 He gives another analogy. "If 15:13.001 --> 15:15.468 heaven can be measured and the 15:15.468 --> 15:16.968 foundations of the earth can 15:16.968 --> 15:18.601 be searched out beneath then I 15:18.601 --> 15:20.601 will cast off the seed of 15:20.601 --> 15:21.834 Israel for all that they have 15:21.834 --> 15:23.101 done." Because absolutely, 15:23.101 --> 15:24.468 they have not been the most 15:24.468 --> 15:26.801 obedient people. They've been 15:26.801 --> 15:29.201 anything but. But as we're 15:29.201 --> 15:30.368 going to see coming up through 15:30.368 --> 15:31.901 the covenants, in coming 15:31.901 --> 15:35.268 programs, God does not give up 15:35.268 --> 15:37.235 on the Nation of Israel. He's 15:37.235 --> 15:39.301 still going to have that 15:39.301 --> 15:41.934 remnant left for the end-time 15:41.934 --> 15:43.268 events. But He says, ".if 15:43.268 --> 15:44.601 heaven above can be measured 15:44.601 --> 15:45.901 and the foundations of the 15:45.901 --> 15:47.268 earth searched out beneath, I 15:47.268 --> 15:49.801 will also cast off the seed of 15:49.801 --> 15:51.268 Israel for all that they have 15:51.268 --> 15:53.868 done." But it's not going to 15:53.868 --> 15:56.335 happen. And so we have this 15:56.335 --> 15:58.801 guarantee that the 'scarlet 15:58.801 --> 16:00.435 line of redemption' is going 16:00.435 --> 16:01.868 to be fulfilled, which of 16:01.868 --> 16:03.634 course led to his first advent 16:03.634 --> 16:06.168 but we also have the guarantee 16:06.168 --> 16:07.801 that all of the end-time 16:07.801 --> 16:09.435 prophecies promised to the 16:09.435 --> 16:11.701 Nation of Israel will come to 16:11.701 --> 16:13.734 fulfillment in spite of 16:13.734 --> 16:14.968 everything. In fact, in light 16:14.968 --> 16:16.435 of the present day headlines, 16:16.435 --> 16:18.101 I'm going to take you back a 16:18.101 --> 16:19.435 minute, this thought just came 16:19.435 --> 16:21.034 to mind. Come back with me 16:21.034 --> 16:23.801 Matthew 24, because every one 16:23.801 --> 16:26.801 of us as Believers, every one 16:26.801 --> 16:28.468 of us who love the Nation of 16:28.468 --> 16:31.301 Israel simply because they are 16:31.301 --> 16:34.201 God's chosen people, we have 16:34.201 --> 16:37.101 to understand why things are 16:37.101 --> 16:39.034 taking place the way they are. 16:39.034 --> 16:41.168 All right, in Matthew 24 which 16:41.168 --> 16:42.968 of course is all Tribulation. 16:42.968 --> 16:44.235 We're not there yet. We're not 16:44.235 --> 16:45.701 in the Tribulation. Although I 16:46.268 --> 16:48.168 think we're getting close. I 16:48.168 --> 16:49.468 know we're getting closer! 16:49.468 --> 16:51.235 I've said that before, we know 16:51.235 --> 16:52.568 we're getting closer. But look 16:52.568 --> 16:59.734 in Matthew 24 verse 9. and as 16:59.734 --> 17:02.567 you see the world's hatred and 17:02.567 --> 17:06.601 the pressure from all the 17:06.601 --> 17:08.335 governments of the world to 17:08.335 --> 17:09.534 Israel, to give in to the 17:10.101 --> 17:11.968 demands of the Palestinians 17:11.968 --> 17:14.901 and hating them if they don't. 17:14.901 --> 17:15.934 This is what the Lord Himself 17:15.934 --> 17:19.968 said, Matthew 24 verse 9, 17:19.968 --> 17:21.235 "Then (that is when the 17:21.235 --> 17:23.734 Tribulation comes in).then 17:23.734 --> 17:25.268 shall they (that is all 17:25.268 --> 17:27.535 the other segments of the 17:27.535 --> 17:30.401 world).they shall deliver you 17:30.401 --> 17:34.201 up to be afflicted. They shall 17:34.201 --> 17:37.502 kill you. And you shall be 17:37.502 --> 17:40.168 (what?) hated." Now this is 17:40.168 --> 17:41.801 Scripture! This is what we can 17:41.801 --> 17:44.101 stand on. That the Jewish 17:44.101 --> 17:46.534 people are going to be "hated 17:46.534 --> 17:49.268 of all nations" because 17:49.268 --> 17:51.701 they're so despicable? No. 17:51.701 --> 17:55.201 Why? "For his name's sake." 17:55.201 --> 17:56.901 Because He has decreed and 17:56.901 --> 17:57.701 we're going to see that in 17:57.701 --> 17:58.901 coming covenants, He has 17:58.901 --> 18:02.502 decreed that they are His 18:02.502 --> 18:05.268 Covenant People. And no matter 18:05.268 --> 18:07.734 how much they rebel, no matter 18:07.734 --> 18:09.368 how much the majority may be 18:09.368 --> 18:12.034 in disobedience, yet God's 18:12.034 --> 18:15.335 mercy as He says, will never 18:15.335 --> 18:17.168 depart from them. All right, 18:17.168 --> 18:18.301 now in the few moments we have 18:18.301 --> 18:20.401 left. Time's going fast. Let's 18:20.401 --> 18:21.401 go back again if you will 18:21.401 --> 18:26.068 to Genesis chapter 3 where 18:26.068 --> 18:27.701 we have this running 18:27.701 --> 18:29.667 confrontation between Satan 18:29.667 --> 18:32.368 and the seed of the woman, 18:32.368 --> 18:34.034 which of course is a reference 18:34.034 --> 18:38.201

to Christ. And then, "the seed 18:38.201 --> 18:41.368 of satan, no the seed of the 18:41.368 --> 18:43.435 woman I'm sorry (verse 15) the 18:43.435 --> 18:45.001 seed of the woman shall bruise 18:45.001 --> 18:46.801 the head of Satan." Which of 18:46.801 --> 18:48.134 course, took place at the 18:48.134 --> 18:50.601 Cross when Christ finished the 18:50.601 --> 18:52.335 work of the Cross He signaled 18:52.335 --> 18:56.834 a total victorious power over 18:56.834 --> 18:59.667 Satan and all of his demonic 18:59.667 --> 19:01.634 powers. So that's where his 19:01.634 --> 19:04.601 head was crushed. But, because 19:04.601 --> 19:06.001 of the suffering that Christ 19:06.001 --> 19:10.168 entailed, "he would bruise the 19:10.168 --> 19:12.535 Messiah's heel." And so here 19:12.535 --> 19:14.901 is the whole big picture of 19:14.901 --> 19:16.634 Redemption and the coming of 19:16.634 --> 19:18.868 the Redeemer and the running 19:18.868 --> 19:21.101 battle between the two here in 19:21.101 --> 19:24.134 verse 15. All right, now then, 19:24.134 --> 19:25.968 we're going to move on to the 19:25.968 --> 19:27.801 third part of this Adamic 19:27.801 --> 19:29.435 covenant, which is God's 19:29.435 --> 19:31.168 dealing with the woman. Now 19:31.168 --> 19:34.368 you know, it's amazing how 19:34.368 --> 19:36.335 many phone calls I get, had 19:36.335 --> 19:37.468 one again the other day, which 19:37.468 --> 19:39.934 reminds me of it, that after 19:39.934 --> 19:43.235 all it was Eve who ate first 19:43.235 --> 19:46.268 and Eve precipitated the 19:46.268 --> 19:51.667 Curse. No. No. Eve ate first 19:51.667 --> 19:54.134 but she was not responsible. 19:54.134 --> 19:56.001 She was caught in a moment of 19:56.001 --> 19:57.502 weakness. Didn't realize what 19:57.502 --> 19:58.834 she was doing and before she 19:58.834 --> 20:00.767 knew it, she had eaten. 20:00.767 --> 20:03.001 But.and here's the vast 20:03.001 --> 20:04.335 difference and this is what 20:04.335 --> 20:06.934 folks have to understand. The 20:06.934 --> 20:09.134 Curse came about because of 20:09.134 --> 20:12.001 Adam's disobedience, not 20:12.001 --> 20:15.535 Eve's. But Eve is not left 20:15.535 --> 20:17.801 scot-free and so we'll look at 20:17.801 --> 20:20.535 hers first in verse 16. Here 20:20.535 --> 20:22.034 is what's going to happen to 20:22.034 --> 20:24.368 the female part of the race 20:24.368 --> 20:27.634 because of Eve's failure to 20:27.634 --> 20:28.801 understand what she was doing. 20:28.801 --> 20:32.435 So "unto the woman, he (God) 20:32.435 --> 20:35.535 said, I will greatly multiply 20:35.535 --> 20:38.268 thy sorrow in thy conception 20:38.268 --> 20:40.734 (child-bearing) for in sorrow 20:40.734 --> 20:42.301 thou shalt bring forth 20:42.301 --> 20:43.734 children." Now you know, I 20:43.734 --> 20:46.801 make people smile, when I 20:46.801 --> 20:49.268 refer to the Kingdom where 20:49.268 --> 20:50.634 flesh and blood people of 20:50.634 --> 20:51.468 course who have come in at the 20:51.468 --> 20:52.701 front end and they're going to 20:52.701 --> 20:55.134 have children. And they're 20:55.134 --> 20:56.535 going to be living the whole 20:56.535 --> 20:57.901 thousand years. I read another 20:57.901 --> 20:59.801 article by a well known 20:59.801 --> 21:01.101 theologian the other day and 21:01.101 --> 21:02.901 he affirmed my same thinking, 21:02.901 --> 21:05.101 that they're going to live the 21:05.101 --> 21:07.068 whole thousand year period of 21:07.068 --> 21:09.634 time. Well now ladies, you can 21:09.634 --> 21:12.101 smile if you want. But you 21:12.101 --> 21:14.502 see, if they have children now 21:14.502 --> 21:17.301 without the curse of the pain 21:17.301 --> 21:20.134 of childbearing, having 21:20.134 --> 21:21.068 children is going to be the 21:21.068 --> 21:22.868 most delightful thing on 21:22.868 --> 21:23.968 earth! And I think they're 21:23.968 --> 21:26.301 going to have hundreds! 21:26.301 --> 21:27.634 (Chuckles) I really do. I 21:27.634 --> 21:29.201 think women are going to have 21:29.201 --> 21:30.801 children throughout that whole 21:30.801 --> 21:32.868 thousand year period of time 21:32.868 --> 21:34.601 and every child will be a 21:34.601 --> 21:35.934 delight because there's not 21:35.934 --> 21:38.001 even the pain of delivery or 21:38.001 --> 21:39.201 anything because that was 21:39.201 --> 21:41.468 brought about by the Curse. 21:41.468 --> 21:44.101 Okay, so now back to my text. 21:44.101 --> 21:47.101 This is what the Curse brought 21:47.101 --> 21:48.834 on the female of the human 21:48.834 --> 21:51.335 race. "Sorrow in bringing 21:51.335 --> 21:53.467 forth children," and then 21:53.467 --> 21:56.001 wonder or wonders, the 21:56.001 --> 21:57.235 feminists should really smile 21:57.235 --> 21:59.601 at this, it's because of the 21:59.601 --> 22:01.435 Curse that the woman has been 22:01.435 --> 22:03.134 subjected to the headship of 22:03.134 --> 22:04.901 the man. And that's another 22:04.901 --> 22:05.868 thing that people can't get 22:05.868 --> 22:07.368 through their heads. Why 22:07.368 --> 22:09.701 should women be subjected to 22:09.701 --> 22:13.201 the husband? Because Eve ate 22:13.201 --> 22:15.268 first. And that much God is 22:15.268 --> 22:17.301 going to put on her because of 22:17.301 --> 22:19.601 her not knowing better and 22:19.601 --> 22:22.701 succumb to the wiles of Satan. 22:22.701 --> 22:24.535 So that's all part of the 22:24.535 --> 22:27.734 curse as it fell on the female 22:27.734 --> 22:30.201 of the human race - the sorrow 22:30.201 --> 22:33.034 and the pain of childbearing 22:33.034 --> 22:35.001 but also that the woman is to 22:35.001 --> 22:39.667 be subservient to the husband. 22:39.667 --> 22:40.801 All right, now let's just go 22:40.801 --> 22:43.335 look at a few of the Pauline 22:43.335 --> 22:44.235 verses with regard to that 22:44.235 --> 22:46.868 and this is exactly why Paul 22:46.868 --> 22:48.101 writes

what he writes is 22:48.101 --> 22:50.201 because of what God covenanted 22:50.201 --> 22:54.235 here in Genesis chapter 3. The 22:54.235 --> 22:55.335 first one I want to refer to 22:55.335 --> 22:58.734 is in Ephesians. Ephesians 22:58.734 --> 23:01.767 chapter 5 and so the next time 23:01.767 --> 23:04.034 someone raises the question in 23:04.034 --> 23:05.734 your Sunday School class or a 23:05.734 --> 23:07.767 Bible Study or something, 'why 23:07.767 --> 23:09.502 should women be subservient to 23:09.502 --> 23:11.401 their husbands?' This is the 23:11.401 --> 23:19.368 reason. Ephesians chapter 5 23:19.368 --> 23:26.667 and you drop down to verse 21. 23:26.667 --> 23:27.901 "Submitting yourselves one to 23:27.901 --> 23:29.868 another." In other words this 23:29.868 --> 23:31.368 is what makes for good 23:31.368 --> 23:32.501 relationships whether it's in 23:32.501 --> 23:34.101 the home or in the local 23:34.101 --> 23:35.767 church or in a work 23:35.767 --> 23:38.401 environment, it's giving in 23:38.401 --> 23:43.335 one to another. Now verse 22, 23:43.335 --> 23:46.568 "Wives submit." And you all 23:46.568 --> 23:47.767 know what that word means. It 23:47.767 --> 23:50.001 means just give in. "Wives 23:50.001 --> 23:52.567 submit yourselves to your own 23:52.567 --> 23:56.934 husbands, as (this is what 23:56.934 --> 23:58.034 makes the difference).as unto 23:58.034 --> 24:00.435 the Lord." Now when we come 24:00.435 --> 24:02.168 into the spiritual picture of 24:02.168 --> 24:04.301 all this, it makes beautiful 24:04.301 --> 24:06.401 sense. Next verse, "For the 24:06.401 --> 24:09.767 husband is the head of the 24:09.767 --> 24:12.734 wife, even as (now here's the 24:12.734 --> 24:15.834 biblical perspective.the 24:15.834 --> 24:17.534 husband is over the wife).as 24:17.534 --> 24:21.001 Christ is the head of the 24:21.001 --> 24:22.301 church (that is the church 24:22.301 --> 24:24.201 which is His body.)" Now 24:24.201 --> 24:26.435 goodness sakes, does Christ 24:26.435 --> 24:28.934 ever make life miserable for 24:28.934 --> 24:32.168 members of the Body? No. He's 24:32.168 --> 24:34.301 a benevolent Head. And of 24:34.301 --> 24:35.634 course the lesson is that 24:35.634 --> 24:36.934 that's what we as men are to 24:36.934 --> 24:38.567 be to our wives. We are to be 24:38.567 --> 24:41.101 benevolent instruments and 24:41.101 --> 24:44.068 never just make them feel like 24:44.068 --> 24:45.568 a second-class citizen, which 24:45.568 --> 24:47.335 too many husbands do. But the 24:47.335 --> 24:49.468 whole concept is that the 24:49.468 --> 24:51.634 husband is going to be the 24:51.634 --> 24:54.201 head of the wife because Eve 24:54.201 --> 24:55.968 in a weak moment ate of the 24:55.968 --> 24:58.201 fruit of the tree. All right, 24:58.201 --> 24:59.335 now I've only got a couple of 24:59.335 --> 25:00.934 minute left. I'm amazed how 25:00.934 --> 25:02.235 fast they go. Now come with me 25:02.235 --> 25:06.634 to I Timothy chapter 2 and 25:06.634 --> 25:08.335 here again Paul is going to 25:08.335 --> 25:10.368 deal with the subserviency of 25:10.368 --> 25:15.634 the woman to the husband. I 25:15.634 --> 25:21.535 Timothy chapter 2 and drop 25:21.535 --> 25:28.834 down to verse 11, and you have 25:28.834 --> 25:30.101 no idea how many phone calls I 25:30.101 --> 25:34.767 get on this one. I Timothy 25:34.767 --> 25:36.401 chapter 2 verse 11, "Let the 25:36.401 --> 25:41.268 woman learn in silence with 25:41.268 --> 25:44.634 all (what?) subjection 25:44.634 --> 25:46.667 (submission, see? Now here's 25:46.667 --> 25:49.567 the reason, verse 12.) For I 25:49.567 --> 25:52.335 permit not a woman to teach, 25:52.335 --> 25:55.034 nor to usurp authority over 25:55.034 --> 25:56.368 the man." That's the key 25:56.368 --> 25:58.502 statement. Now I tell people 25:58.502 --> 26:00.468 all the time. Women can teach. 26:00.468 --> 26:02.701 Women can pray. Women can do 26:02.701 --> 26:04.034 all kinds of things in the 26:04.034 --> 26:06.868 local church, but scripturally 26:06.868 --> 26:09.335 they should not be the senior 26:09.335 --> 26:11.134 pastor. I make no apology for 26:11.134 --> 26:13.235 that. But on the other hand, I 26:13.235 --> 26:15.401 will say this sometimes, that 26:15.401 --> 26:17.634 God has always been a God with 26:17.634 --> 26:19.767 a direct will but also a 26:19.767 --> 26:22.468 permissive will. And there may 26:22.468 --> 26:24.634 be instances where He will 26:24.634 --> 26:26.968 permit a lady to maybe from 26:26.968 --> 26:28.468 keeping a church, a small 26:28.468 --> 26:29.634 little church out in the 26:29.634 --> 26:31.401 boondocks where men will not 26:31.401 --> 26:33.268 go, or what ever the case may 26:33.268 --> 26:35.435 be, mission fields where God 26:35.435 --> 26:38.335 will permit a woman to be the 26:38.335 --> 26:40.301 minister or the pastor in 26:40.301 --> 26:41.502 order to keep the church from 26:41.502 --> 26:43.368 going down completely. But 26:43.368 --> 26:45.901 God's original purpose is that 26:45.901 --> 26:48.468 the man should be the one in 26:48.468 --> 26:50.134 authority. My goodness, I've 26:50.134 --> 26:51.435 only got a minute left. Now 26:51.435 --> 26:54.368 verse 13, here's the reason. 26:54.368 --> 26:56.335 Here's the biblical reason, 26:56.335 --> 27:00.767 "For Adam was first formed." 27:00.767 --> 27:02.734 Adam was created first. "And 27:02.734 --> 27:06.201 then Eve." Now here's the 27:06.201 --> 27:08.201 second part of the reason, 27:08.201 --> 27:10.667 "Adam was not deceived." So 27:10.667 --> 27:12.168 the Curse fell because of 27:12.168 --> 27:13.868 Adam. He knew what her was 27:13.868 --> 27:16.335 doing. "But the woman being 27:16.335 --> 27:18.368 deceived was still in the 27:18.368 --> 27:19.801 transgression, (she was still 27:19.801 --> 27:22.034 guilty. All right, then verse 27:22.034 --> 27:24.001 15.) Notwithstanding (even 27:24.001 --> 27:25.235 though she was part and parcel 27:25.235 --> 27:27.468 of it).she shall be saved in 27:27.468 --> 27:28.801 childbearing." Now that 27:28.801 --> 27:30.335 doesn't mean her own children, 27:30.335 --> 27:32.601 but she'll be saved by 'the' 27:32.601 --> 27:33.734 Childbearing, which is a 27:33.734 --> 27:35.368 reference to Christ. So the 27:35.368 --> 27:37.034 woman will be saved by [MUSIC] 27:37.034 --> 27:38.301 the work of the Cross, just 27:38.301 --> 27:40.701 like the man. But the order of 27:40.701 --> 27:42.368 the sexes was established 27:42.368 --> 27:45.167 back at the beginning. 27:45.701 --> 27:46.667 ANNOUNCER>> Thank you for 27:46.667 --> 27:48.034 watching Through the Bible 27:48.034 --> 27:50.468 with Les Feldick.
