Full Transcript for Jay Dyer vs Dinesh D’Souza

teaches the Trinity, right? 68 00:04:42.930 --> 00:04:46.189 This is another basic bitch word concept fallacy. Now, in 69 00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:51.829 my opening statement to Daniel Hakikachu, we addressed this issue 70 00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:54.529 because this is the Muslim tier argument. These people are 71 00:04:54.569 --> 00:04:58.420 so stupid. They're literally making Muslim level arguments. You saw 72 00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:02.069 Owen Benjamin say, Trinity's not even the Bible. You've got 73 00:05:03.050 --> 00:05:06.009 Dinesh D'Souza saying that the Old Testament could not have 74 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.620 worshipped the Trinity because they did not use the word Trinity. 75 00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:11.459 Trent Horn said the exact same thing to me. It 76 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:14.259 does not require the word Trinity to believe and worship 77 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.839 in three hypostases or Yahweh, his angel, and his spirit. Well, 78 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.740 guess what? All throughout the Old Testament, Yahweh, his angel messenger, 79 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.819 who is also called Yahweh, and his spirit are all 80 00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:29.389 given divine titles and appellation and worship. So the Trinity 81 00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:31.879 is all throughout the Old Testament. That's why this is 82 00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:34.579 such an important kill shot, not just for Islam, not 83 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:38.459 just for Roman Catholicism, Vatican II natural theology, but also 84 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.110 for evangelical dispensational goobers like Dinesh D'Souza. So I have 85 00:05:44.129 --> 00:05:46.230 a video here called Trinity in the Old Testament. And 86 00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:49.829 that video just looks through Genesis and Exodus. Then we 87 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.870 have this opening statement to Daniel Hakikachu in our debate 88 00:05:53.569 --> 00:05:56.670 about Trinity in the Old Testament. My whole opening statement 89 00:05:56.709 --> 00:05:59.430 is just showing that what the Old Testament teaches the 90 00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:02.850 Trinity is then they're not Unitarian Muslims in the Old Testament. 91 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.550 And that destroys Islam. It's a kill shot, right? Unless 92 00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:10.389 you're 60 IQ. So take a look at those arguments. 93 00:06:10.410 --> 00:06:14.370 Take a look at those clips. That's the fundamental, just 94 00:06:14.610 --> 00:06:18.850 really sad level of argumentation that you've got from whether 95 00:06:18.889 --> 00:06:23.980 it's Trent Horn or whether it's Dinesh D'Souza, you know, 96 00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:30.189 this older lesbian Hindu woman here, lesbian Hindu mom. I mean, 97 00:06:30.389 --> 00:06:32.529 they're all making the same mistake, which is to think 98 00:06:32.610 --> 00:06:36.089 that the Old Testament teaches Unitarianism and the Trinity is 99 00:06:36.129 --> 00:06:38.709 this new tacked on idea in the New Testament. It's

100 00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:42.439 so stupid. Again, it doesn't require the word Trinity to 101 00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:47.959 have recognition and worship of Yahweh, his angel messenger that 102 00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:52.620 literally meets with and eats with the patriarchs. Okay. And 103 00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:56.699 multiple references. There's dozens of references to the spirit of 104 00:06:56.740 --> 00:07:01.389 God throughout the Old Testament. as a distinct reality, distinct person, 105 00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:07.439 distinct hypostasis, with all of the same attributes of the Father, 106 00:07:07.810 --> 00:07:13.600 of God. So we've been outlining this, explaining this for 107 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.079 the last 10 years online. None of these people have 108 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.699 even made the slightest effort to understand the other people's position. 109 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.259 That's what's also frustrating. Even if I was Trent Horn 110 00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:27.220 or if I was Dinesh D'Souza, or even Owen Benjamin, 111 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:30.100 wouldn't you at least want to know why the other 112 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.279 position makes the arguments they make? We just did a 113 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:36.139 stream with Alex Soren, what, yesterday or the day before? 114 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.600 And the whole stream was how to debate and how 115 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.100 not to debate. And we talked about the principles that 116 00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:45.759 underlie successful debate, one of which is at least know 117 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.259 your opponent's position, ideally to their satisfaction. And that is 118 00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:53.060 an idea that has been completely lost in modern debate. 119 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.860 Even at least 10 years ago, It's a dictum that 120 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.389 Bonson always hammered home was you should ideally be able 121 00:08:00.430 --> 00:08:03.250 to state your opponent's position to their satisfaction. I'm talking 122 00:08:03.269 --> 00:08:05.350 about a formal debate. I'm not talking about idiots calling in. 123 00:08:05.389 --> 00:08:08.170 I'm talking about in a real formal debate, you need 124 00:08:08.189 --> 00:08:10.610 to know the other person's position. If you can't do that, 125 00:08:10.689 --> 00:08:15.420 then you're defective in your debate strategy. Anyway, but let's 126 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.019 listen to the rest of this. 127 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.399 This does not mean that these historical figures were somehow Christian. 128 00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:30.449 And the same, of course, applies here. It's amazing he 129 00:08:30.490 --> 00:08:32.529 doesn't know what a word concept fallacy is. 130 00:08:32.610 --> 00:08:36.009 So because the New Testament doesn't use the word Christian 131 00:08:36.049 --> 00:08:38.409 until they're first called Christians at Antioch in the book 132 00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:42.240 of Acts, he thinks that that means that nobody was a, quote, Christian. 133 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.480 When we say all the Old Testament patriarchs are Christians, 134 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.240 what we mean is that they worship the same tripersonal 135 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.620 God that we do. Whether they had the term Trinity 136 00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:56.279 or not is irrelevant. And the quickest way to destroy 137 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.019 this is that all these same people believe the New 138 00:08:59.090 --> 00:09:02.830 Testament teaches the Trinity, even though it's never used in 139 00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:05.629 the New Testament, the word. And the first person to 140 00:09:05.830 --> 00:09:09.129 use the word ended up being a heretic, right? Tertullian 141 00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:11.620 uses the word Trinitas. He ends up being a heretic. 142 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.500 It doesn't matter because the idea is what's captured by 143 00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:17.980 the word Trinity. So if the idea of three distinct 144 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.820 persons and one common nature is there, it doesn't matter 145 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.440 ultimately whether they knew the word Trinitas or not. Also, 146 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.080 I think Theophilus of Antioch used it around the same 147 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.899 time contemporary with Tertullian. So, go ahead. 148 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:35.570 I just want to say that if you own books 149 00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:40.149 by people you don't agree with, you automatically agree with them. 150 00:09:40.649 --> 00:09:40.990 Can you get. 151 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:44.370 Just by owning the book. If I own a copy 152 00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:47.950 of the Communist Manifesto, I am a communist just by 153 00:09:48.049 --> 00:09:48.710 owning that book. 154 00:09:49.210 --> 00:09:52.710 Who is making that argument? What are you applying that to? No, 155 00:09:53.029 --> 00:09:54.309 we've joked about this before. 156 00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:58.970 If you know somebody else's position, sometimes people even get 157 00:09:59.029 --> 00:10:01.679 confused or like, wait why do you know so much 158 00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.039 about this do you actually believe in that like the 159 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.740 concept of knowing the opposite position is actually foreign to 160 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.879 a lot of people like they. 161 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.000 Don't they don't oh i see what you're saying yeah 162 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.330 exactly Yeah, they don't go out. 163 00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:18.190 And research other belief systems to see if you would 164 00:10:18.230 --> 00:10:21.509 want to counter it or know why it's incorrect. It 165 00:10:21.529 --> 00:10:24.039 would just be, I know I don't believe in that, 166 00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:26.639 so therefore I never want to know anything about it 167 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.429 and don't want to ever read a book about it. 168

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:31.440 And if I find someone who owns a book about 169 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.779 it or knows a lot about it, they probably believe 170 00:10:33.830 --> 00:10:34.009 in it. 171 00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:37.990 It's time to get into the nonsense. This is the 172 00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:40.830 issue that has taken over Twitter, and we've been in 173 00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:43.210 the thick of it. We've been arguing. We've been calling out. 174 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.460 Dinesh D'Souza. 175 00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:48.919 Brother, where are you, brother? We try to call you out, brother. 176 00:10:49.419 --> 00:10:52.110 You are out there. Wait, we call the Verizon call center. 177 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.450 You're not there, brother. Where do you go? Where do 178 00:10:54.470 --> 00:10:58.549 you wish? Brother, we call you. We even have booger wishes. 179 00:10:59.289 --> 00:11:00.470 Dinesh D'Souza. 180 00:11:01.929 --> 00:11:08.750 So if you didn't see, Dinesh D'Souza got called out. 181 00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:15.200 But he's terrified. He doesn't want to have an actual debate. Shocker. 182 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:22.950 He's going to support the nation of Israel. 183 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:32.090 Of refuting Christian Zionism and dispensationalism. And we're going to 184 00:11:32.129 --> 00:11:37.389 start with the scriptures, obviously. Not difficult to refute. This 185 00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:45.139 is a retorto heresy. It is preposterous. It is going 186 00:11:45.179 --> 00:11:48.840 to be easy to refute. How do we do that? Well, 187 00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:54.879 let's start with the covenants. Now, the first covenant is 188 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.000 in the Garden of Eden, and God established a relationship 189 00:11:58.019 --> 00:12:06.340 with man and gave certain criteria and certain stipulations. And 190 00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:11.279 those stipulations depended upon Adam's obedience and what he would do. 191 00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:15.000 as to whether or not he would experience covenant blessings 192 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.350 or covenant cursings. Now, there's a pattern to these kinds 193 00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:23.139 of covenants throughout the Old Testament. It's patterned kind of 194 00:12:23.179 --> 00:12:26.149 along the lines of a suzerain treaty of the ancient 195 00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:30.970 Middle East, the ancient Near Eastern world. The suzerain is 196 00:12:31.049 --> 00:12:36.470 the king who makes a deal with the vassal. In 197 00:12:36.509 --> 00:12:39.649 the Bible, these covenants are very similar to the covenant 198 00:12:39.710 --> 00:12:44.000 agreements that exist today. in the cultures around Israel in 199 00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:47.990 the Near East as well. So the king or the 200 00:12:48.129 --> 00:12:54.309 Lord basically promises sometimes upon himself, sometimes upon other things. 201 00:12:54.850 --> 00:12:56.730 In the scriptures, there's actually a bunch of different versions. 202 00:12:56.750 --> 00:13:00.529 There's a hand covenant, a salt covenant, animal covenants, etc. 203 00:13:01.289 --> 00:13:04.309 And in this case, God is going to, in some 204 00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:07.629 of these cases, do different things to symbolize and show 205 00:13:07.669 --> 00:13:11.419 forth different patterns and different ideas. So in Genesis 8, 206 00:13:11.419 --> 00:13:13.779 God makes a covenant with Adam. And it is later 207 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.139 stated in the scriptures that it is a covenant relationship 208 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.559 with Adam. Even the word covenant is not immediately used 209 00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:21.769 in Genesis. Later on in the Minor Prophets, it does mention, 210 00:13:22.169 --> 00:13:25.470 those are some strong Zen pack right there. Dang. It 211 00:13:25.509 --> 00:13:31.690 does mention this relationship in a covenant way. It also 212 00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:36.360 mentions in Isaiah that mankind after rebelling entered into a 213 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.259 covenant with death. So if you're not in covenant with Adam, 214 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.480 excuse me, with Christ, you are kind of by default 215 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.909 in covenant with Adam and with death, and death is 216 00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:50.789 an angel. So all of these covenants are in some 217 00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:55.309 way personal. They relate to the suzerain or the ruler 218 00:13:55.549 --> 00:13:59.090 that you are covenanting with. Now, we all know Adam 219 00:13:59.110 --> 00:14:03.879 and Eve failed to keep that covenant in Genesis with God, 220 00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:08.019 and they were booted out. Now, not too long after this, however, 221 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:14.289 God begins the patterns of bringing man back to himself, right? 222 00:14:15.129 --> 00:14:18.750 And the first instance that we have of this restoration 223 00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:24.299 is Genesis 9. And as you note, when we walk 224 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.259 through these covenants, you'll notice that each one of these 225 00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:32.059 covenants has a predictive typological fulfillment in the person of Christ. Obviously, 226 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.179 these are all about Christ. And we'll see that where 227 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.899 Paul says, all the promises of God are yea in him. 228 00:14:38.990 --> 00:14:42.509 Promises there refers to covenant promises. In other words, the deal, 229 00:14:42.990 --> 00:14:47.450 the relationship that God is establishing with man in all 230 00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:51.960 of these covenants. All of the covenants are one. Sometimes 231 00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:56.259 New Testament writers like Paul will contrast elements of, say, 232 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.820 the Mosaic covenant over against the new covenant in Christ. 233 00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:04.779 That does not mean that they are oppositional covenants and 234 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.029 that they're

different plan Bs that God has with his people. 235 00:15:09.429 --> 00:15:14.220 That is the central heresy of the schizophrenic deity of dispensationalism, 236 00:15:14.250 --> 00:15:17.620 who keeps trying plan B, plan C, plan D, because 237 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.559 it's a chopped up schizo version of history, and there's 238 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.100 no unifying factor in the person of Christ, and there's 239 00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:27.710 no single people of God or city of God, as St. 240 00:15:27.750 --> 00:15:31.649 Augustine wrote about, throughout all of history, from Genesis to 241 00:15:31.669 --> 00:15:34.129 the end of the world. There's one city of God 242 00:15:34.649 --> 00:15:37.049 that is the people of God, that is the covenant 243 00:15:37.110 --> 00:15:40.779 people of God, And it is only and always the church. 244 00:15:41.379 --> 00:15:44.799 Even in the Old Testament is the ecclesia, the church, 245 00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:47.720 the called out people of God in covenant with him. 246 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.279 And all of these people believe in the gospel. When 247 00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:54.320 I read this in the New Testament, when I myself 248 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.779 was a young goober, retarded evangelical, and I believe in dispensationalism, 249 00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:01.659 I realized, wait a minute, the gospel was preached to Abraham? 250 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.690 The gospel was preached in the wilderness? Well, then that 251 00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:07.860 means that it's the same gospel at all times. And 252 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.919 even though we have more revelation than they had in 253 00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:14.190 Genesis or in the days of the judges or whatever, 254 00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:18.570 it is still the same fundamental revelation about the person 255 00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:20.110 of Christ. And the only difference is that they look 256 00:16:20.129 --> 00:16:22.409 forward to the coming of the Messiah and we look 257 00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:26.210 back and await his second coming. So God has a 258 00:16:26.309 --> 00:16:30.309 covenant with Noah. And as you know, there are certain 259 00:16:30.450 --> 00:16:34.590 elements of this covenant that deal with, for example, the, uh, 260 00:16:35.750 --> 00:16:39.620 natural progression of the seasons, right? We get basically a 261 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:43.460 providential covenant of nature. It is the Noahic covenant that 262 00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:46.779 follows after the Adamic covenant. So this is the beginning 263 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.830 of God restoring what was lost as Adam and Eve 264 00:16:51.889 --> 00:16:55.870 are banished out of Eden, which was a spiritual metaphysical 265 00:16:55.950 --> 00:16:59.850 reality different than what they walked out of when they 266 00:16:59.889 --> 00:17:03.649 came onto the earth after the fall. In the Orthodox view, 267 00:17:03.929 --> 00:17:07.430 via Romans 8, the fall affects all

of the cosmos. 268 00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:12.069 And everything fundamentally is altered as a result of this, 269 00:17:12.529 --> 00:17:17.710 leading to decay, entropy, death, animal death, plant death. All 270 00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:21.619 death comes from Adam's sin. And Adam is falling upon 271 00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:26.519 the angelic sin because he covenanted with the serpent. Genesis 272 00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:30.799 is not talking about a snake talking. The text is 273 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:35.230 talking about an angelic being in the appearance of an 274 00:17:35.369 --> 00:17:38.849 angelic serpentine image. In the rest of the scriptures, when 275 00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:41.910 that serpentine image is used, it is talking about a 276 00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.470 fallen angel. It is not talking about an actual literal 277 00:17:45.609 --> 00:17:48.980 snake talking. And so when atheists come to the text 278 00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:52.559 and say, oh, you dumb Christians believe in talking snakes, 279 00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:57.880 it's an angelic being. It's just described as serpentine in image. 280 00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:00.930 And that's discussed in other passages where we're told that 281 00:18:01.490 --> 00:18:07.970 There are angelic beings like serpents. I think they're called nefesh. No, 282 00:18:08.190 --> 00:18:10.200 there's a Hebrew word. I'm forgetting the name off the 283 00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:12.400 top of my head, but there's a specific Hebrew word 284 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.119 for what those beings are. In this covenant, you'll notice 285 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.210 that God has Noah positioned as the head of a 286 00:18:21.349 --> 00:18:24.670 new household, a new humanity. This is the church. That's 287 00:18:24.710 --> 00:18:28.430 why the church is pictured as a boat, like Noah's Ark. 288 00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:31.759 That's why this famous icon, I have a giant version 289 00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:36.089 of it at my house, the Ark of Salvation. This 290 00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:40.990 is Noah's boat. Noah's boat is a type of the 291 00:18:41.049 --> 00:18:46.250 church as a boat. And Jesus is the ultimate Noah, 292 00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:49.329 just like Jesus is the new Adam. And that's how 293 00:18:49.369 --> 00:18:52.210 we know, for example, that Adam was also in a covenant. 294 00:18:52.210 --> 00:18:55.579 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians as well talks about 295 00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:58.940 Adam's relationship as the head of all humanity. And when 296 00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:00.960 Adam fell, he brought death upon all of his descendants. 297 00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:03.619 And then Christ as the new Adam brings life upon 298 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.720 all of his descendants, which is all of humanity in 299 00:19:06.769 --> 00:19:08.549 terms of their nature. That doesn't mean everybody's a son 300 00:19:08.569 --> 00:19:10.549 of God. It just means that all of the nature 301 00:19:10.609 --> 00:19:15.750 of man is resurrected through recapitulation. Now, Jesus is then 302 00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:19.069 the new Noah in this covenant. And so everything that 303 00:19:19.130 --> 00:19:22.390 Noah is doing, everything that you see happening in this 304 00:19:22.430 --> 00:19:26.430 Noahic covenant is a type. Be fruitful and multiply. The 305 00:19:26.470 --> 00:19:29.240 fear of you will be upon all of the animals, etc. 306 00:19:29.380 --> 00:19:31.200 And this is where we're first told that men can 307 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:35.819 now eat animals, right? Before this, it was normative to 308 00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:40.549 eat vegetables because there was still a close proximity to 309 00:19:40.670 --> 00:19:43.450 the fall. This is another reason why people had longer 310 00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:47.569 lifespans is that they're still relatively close, temporally speaking, to 311 00:19:48.369 --> 00:19:52.799 the Edenic state. But when outside of Eden, there are 312 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.599 new stipulations, one of which is the state. It is 313 00:19:56.619 --> 00:19:58.960 the first time that men are told not only can 314 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.769 they eat animals if the blood is removed, they can 315 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.869 also now exact the death penalty. And the death penalty 316 00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:11.269 is part of the governance of man post-fall. So it's 317 00:20:11.309 --> 00:20:14.549 actually a good thing that God has established some role 318 00:20:14.650 --> 00:20:17.150 of the state here. This is the first institution of 319 00:20:17.250 --> 00:20:21.190 a Christian state with the figure of Noah. And you'll 320 00:20:21.210 --> 00:20:24.359 notice that at no point, all the way up until Romans, 321 00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:29.240 does this idea of the death penalty and some role 322 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.119 of the state acting that the death penalty go away. 323 00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:38.440 It is simply a fiction, an invented nonsense reality that pacifists, 324 00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:41.339 and other people have come up with, that this no 325 00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:44.920 longer matters, it doesn't apply. It consistently applies from the 326 00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:48.079 time of Noah all the way until Romans 13. But 327 00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:49.859 I think a lot of people don't even know that 328 00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:53.319 Noah was given the right to exact the death penalty. 329 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:58.170 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man's blood shall he be shed, 330 00:20:58.630 --> 00:21:01.150 because it is an attack on the image of God. 331 00:21:01.730 --> 00:21:04.269 To kill a person is to deface the image of God. 332 00:21:05.289 --> 00:21:08.619 And thus, Eye for an eye, justice requires that that 333 00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:11.589 person be put to death because they are now not 334 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.109 just a defacer of the divine image by killing someone, 335 00:21:14.650 -->

00:21:18.529 they are now also a murderer. And so it is 336 00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:21.869 just to put to death people who are now murderers. 337 00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:25.089 It doesn't mean anyone can do this. It's not a, 338 00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:30.119 I'll do it. It is given to Noah here as 339 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.380 the head of this covenant. So Adam and Eve in 340 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:36.480 a covenant, 1 Corinthians 15 says that Adam... was a 341 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.000 type of Christ. Eve is a type of the church. 342 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.859 Eve is a type of Mary, many times over throughout 343 00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:46.640 the Bible. As we move up into this, Peter says 344 00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:49.369 that they were all baptized in the cloud. Paul says 345 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.920 they were baptized in the cloud and the sea. Peter 346 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:54.789 says that what happened with Noah was a type. You 347 00:21:54.849 --> 00:21:58.329 are now saved by baptism. The baptism is the washing 348 00:21:58.390 --> 00:22:02.509 away of the world of its filth here, because humanity 349 00:22:02.549 --> 00:22:06.150 had defaced and defiled itself by turning to all kinds 350 00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:09.420 of wicked practices at the time of Noah. And so 351 00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:13.380 God saves Noah and says, I will establish my covenant 352 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:20.269 with you and all your descendants after. Ultimately, this is Christ. 353 00:22:20.589 --> 00:22:23.789 Christ is the true Noah who saves us through the 354 00:22:23.910 --> 00:22:26.609 ark of the church. The New Testament is very clear 355 00:22:26.630 --> 00:22:30.210 in that typological imagery. God promises that he will never 356 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.430 cut off the earth with a flood. And the rainbow 357 00:22:34.509 --> 00:22:37.769 is the sign of this covenant. It is an everlasting covenant. 358 00:22:38.269 --> 00:22:42.470 And it's also, for us, something that demonstrates providence in nature. 359 00:22:42.630 --> 00:22:45.089 The signs and the seasons of the times will always 360 00:22:45.130 --> 00:22:48.619 continue until the end of the world when there is 361 00:22:48.630 --> 00:22:52.700 the conflagration, which is the purifying of the universe with 362 00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:55.980 the divine energies. Why do we say that? There's no 363 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.960 created fire of God. God is not a creature. Paul 364 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:02.200 says our God is a consuming fire. which means that 365 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.019 there's no created purgatory fire. There is only the uncreated 366 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.400 divine energy that you see in Leviticus 9 or Numbers 367 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.160 12 when the cloud and the pillar and so forth 368 00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:16.829 are theophanic manifestations. Theophanies are not creatures. They're God in 369 00:23:16.869 --> 00:23:19.549 time and space. It's called God in time and space. 370 00:23:19.650 --> 00:23:22.410 It is worshipped. It is called the uncreated glory. To 371 00:23:22.450 --> 00:23:26.289 call that a creature is to be a stupid Thomistic heretic. 372 00:23:26.609 --> 00:23:30.430 So the next covenant, as you I'm sure know, is 373 00:23:30.470 --> 00:23:34.819 the Abrahamic Covenant. Abraham was a pagan, and his dad 374 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.289 was an idol maker, Terah. And then Abraham hears the 375 00:23:38.309 --> 00:23:42.289 voice of God and converts. He converts to the true God. God, 376 00:23:42.410 --> 00:23:45.430 of course, saves him by grace. Abraham is not saved 377 00:23:45.470 --> 00:23:49.049 by his works. But you'll notice that God appears to him. 378 00:23:49.630 --> 00:23:52.130 This is a theophany. The Lord said to Abraham, get 379 00:23:52.170 --> 00:23:54.269 out of your country to your father's house, the land 380 00:23:54.289 --> 00:23:56.650 that I will show you. I will bless those that 381 00:23:56.690 --> 00:23:59.440 bless you, and I'll curse those that curse you. Verse 7, 382 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.690 the Lord appeared to Abraham. To your seed I will 383 00:24:02.710 --> 00:24:06.690 give this land. And Abraham went and moved there to 384 00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:08.769 the mountain east of Bethel and pitched his tent with 385 00:24:08.809 --> 00:24:11.390 Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And 386 00:24:11.410 --> 00:24:14.279 there he built an altar to the Lord and called 387 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.180 upon the name of the Lord. So notice in verse 8, 388 00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:22.819 after this theophany, Abraham erects an altar. Noah also sacrificed 389 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.190 when he came out of the ark. And there was 390 00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:31.190 the dove, right? And so Noah offers a sacrifice. Abraham 391 00:24:31.230 --> 00:24:36.410 offers a sacrifice. This is liturgical worship. From the very beginning, 392 00:24:36.930 --> 00:24:40.650 God is worshipped with an altar and with liturgy. There 393 00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:43.890 is never a time when God does not accept worship 394 00:24:43.910 --> 00:24:48.930 through altar and liturgy. This alone refutes Protestant heretics, and 395 00:24:48.970 --> 00:24:54.079 it refutes Islam as not in continuity with the Old 396 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.509 Testament religion. Clear as day. Now, that's not all that 397 00:24:57.529 --> 00:25:05.519 there is, because the Abrahamic covenant is a series of theophanies, restatements, reaffirmations, 398 00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:08.880 and promises. But I want you to remember that the 399 00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:11.819 original statement is, when you get to this land, you're 400 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.779 going to be protected, and all the families of the 401 00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:18.980 earth will be blessed in you. How are all the 402 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.089 families of the earth going to be blessed through one 403 00:25:22.150 -->

00:25:23.009 guy's lineage? 404 00:25:23.190 --> 00:25:23.609 Hmm. 405 00:25:24.210 --> 00:25:28.819 Hmm. Turns out it's not actually that. Complicated, despite what 406 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:32.259 all the evangelical goobers want to say to make it 407 00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:36.140 complicated and nonsensical. God says, I am your exceeding reward 408 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.410 in Genesis 15. So the ultimate reward isn't even a 409 00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:44.930 patch of land to Abraham. The ultimate reward is God himself, 410 00:25:45.230 --> 00:25:47.490 not a patch of land. What's the patch of land 411 00:25:47.509 --> 00:25:49.789 going to symbolize? Well, we're going to see in Romans 412 00:25:49.789 --> 00:25:52.849 4 exactly what the patch of land symbolizes. Did you 413 00:25:52.869 --> 00:25:56.190 know that the Bible explains itself? That's not sola scriptura. 414 00:25:56.230 --> 00:26:01.089 That's just canonical interpretation. To say that other passages explain 415 00:26:01.130 --> 00:26:04.450 other passages is just part of the doctrine of inspiration. 416 00:26:04.470 --> 00:26:07.650 It has nothing to do with sola scriptura. That's just 417 00:26:07.730 --> 00:26:11.890 how you interpret a holistic, full revelation of Old and 418 00:26:11.930 --> 00:26:14.960 New Testament working together. Here you'll notice in Genesis 15, 419 00:26:14.950 --> 00:26:20.059 in this theophany, it is stated that the one who 420 00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:23.539 is the voice, and it's actually worded better in the Septuagint, 421 00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:28.150 because in verse 4 it says, the logos came to him. 422 00:26:28.789 --> 00:26:32.190 So in Genesis 15, four, the logos came to him. 423 00:26:32.970 --> 00:26:35.890 The voice came to, how does a voice appear? How 424 00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:39.880 does a logos appear to you? And in this situation, 425 00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:46.000 he's got a childless wife, but he's got another possible 426 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.799 seed that he could have through Hagar. And God says, no, 427 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.119 it's not going to be through Hagar. It's going to 428 00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:55.000 be through Sarah, but Sarah's old. How's that possible? It's 429 00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:58.339 going to be a miraculous birth. A miraculous birth. Where 430 00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.759 have we heard this before? This is a type. This 431 00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:05.549 is looking forward to. It's foreshadowing the virgin birth. The 432 00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:08.660 ultimate miraculous birth. And throughout the Old Testament, there are 433 00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.930 many miraculous births. Those are anticipatory. They're preparing for the 434 00:27:12.970 --> 00:27:15.470 miraculous birth of the Messiah. The one who is the 435 00:27:15.529 --> 00:27:19.390 seed that fulfills all of these promises. How will I 436 00:27:19.430 --> 00:27:23.309 know that I will inherit this land? Well, God says this. 437 00:27:23.849 --> 00:27:26.390 cut up these animals, puts them in a trance, and 438 00:27:26.430 --> 00:27:31.589 God moves through like smoking oven and lamps of fire. 439 00:27:32.009 --> 00:27:36.019 Verse 17, God appeared like a burning torch. That's the 440 00:27:36.150 --> 00:27:40.319 uncreated fire. God is an all-consuming fire. That's a theophanic manifestation. 441 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.200 God is not a torch, but he appeared like a 442 00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:48.059 torch and a smoking oven. This is the burning presence 443 00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:52.079 of God. This is a theophany. And if you read Ezekiel, 444 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.140 It actually explains what that light and torch imagery is. 445 00:27:57.740 --> 00:28:01.210 In Ezekiel 1.13, it reads, when he sees the likeness 446 00:28:01.349 --> 00:28:04.089 of the cherubim, the living creatures, as for the likeness 447 00:28:04.130 --> 00:28:07.230 of these creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire. 448 00:28:07.349 --> 00:28:10.849 Some of them say torches, burning lights. Now you say, well, 449 00:28:10.890 --> 00:28:13.900 wait a minute. Ezekiel's talking about cherubim. I thought you 450 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:15.319 were saying that this was God himself. 451 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.200 It is. 452 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.920 Because when you read Ezekiel, and we have a whole 453 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.380 podcast on this, This is the presence of the Spirit 454 00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:26.109 amongst the wheels or the cherubs. What is this fire? Well, 455 00:28:26.130 --> 00:28:28.990 it turns out Ezekiel tells you what this is. This 456 00:28:29.089 --> 00:28:33.289 is one like a son of man riding the chariot. 457 00:28:33.589 --> 00:28:37.930 It's a throne chariot. The living creatures are the chariot 458 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.480 that the Logos, the son of man, rides. That's Ezekiel 459 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.000 1 through 10. Go watch my podcast on that. That's 460 00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:46.200 not what we're doing today. But I'm just telling you that, 461 00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:50.279 showing you that the Bible interprets the Bible, the burning coals, 462 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:54.559 the divine presence, the torches, the lights. It's the same 463 00:28:54.619 --> 00:28:59.900 thing happening in Genesis 17 with Abraham. So it's going 464 00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:01.440 to be a miraculous birth. It's going to be a 465 00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:06.680 seed that somehow reaches all the people of the earth. 466 00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.630 God renames him here in the third statement of the 467 00:29:09.670 --> 00:29:12.849 covenant in Genesis 17. I will give you the land 468 00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:18.710 of Canaan as an everlasting possession. Oh, does that prove dispensationalism? Well, 469 00:29:19.329 --> 00:29:23.210 At this point, we want to look at Romans 4. Therefore, 470 00:29:23.250 --> 00:29:28.910 this descent of being a child of

Abraham is upon 471 00:29:29.049 --> 00:29:32.670 all those who have faith and through grace are in 472 00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:34.710 this covenant. For it is written, I've made you a 473 00:29:34.710 --> 00:29:37.450 father of many nations in the presence of God in 474 00:29:37.490 --> 00:29:40.230 whom Abraham believed, who gives life to the dead. and 475 00:29:40.289 --> 00:29:43.410 calls those to things which were not so this is 476 00:29:43.430 --> 00:29:48.480 a miraculous sonship and birth so will your descendants be 477 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.160 and though he did not consider though not being weak 478 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:53.920 in faith he did not consider his own body already 479 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:56.240 dead he did not waver at the promise of God 480 00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:59.519 but was strengthened in faith and he became the heir 481 00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:03.210 right If you read Romans 4, you'll notice that the 482 00:30:03.509 --> 00:30:08.269 miraculous presence in the womb of this child, even though 483 00:30:08.309 --> 00:30:13.329 Sarah was advanced in age, this actually refers to the 484 00:30:13.349 --> 00:30:17.359 miraculous birth that we experience through faith. It's not just 485 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.259 the seed, it's also we are reborn as new seeds, right? 486 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.940 In Romans 5, we are told that the gift is 487 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:31.519 actually reigning through Christ, through faith, and And it is 488 00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:35.900 the whole world that is the taking of the land. 489 00:30:36.150 --> 00:30:39.529 So the typology of Canaan being taken by the Jews 490 00:30:40.130 --> 00:30:43.150 is fulfilled in the church taking the whole land of 491 00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:47.470 the earth. The meek shall inherit the earth. Promise to 492 00:30:47.589 --> 00:30:50.069 Abraham is you'll be given this land of Canaan. That 493 00:30:50.130 --> 00:30:52.730 is a type of the church taking over the world 494 00:30:52.789 --> 00:30:57.000 through the gospel. Everything happening in these covenants is typologically 495 00:30:57.059 --> 00:31:01.799 fulfilled in the new covenant in the first advent. So 496 00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:07.640 all the evangelical dispensational heresies will prolong and postpone all 497 00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:10.599 the realities that Christ brought at the first advent. 498 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.299 Why? 499 00:31:11.700 --> 00:31:15.619 Because they are ecclesiological heretics. They don't understand the fulfillment 500 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.740 of these promises, not just in the person of Christ 501 00:31:17.779 --> 00:31:21.099 and his work, but in his church, which is his 502 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:23.660 mystical living body in time and space. And that's why 503 00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:27.359 they were all severed from the historic church. Now, people 504 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.299 think that there are no stipulations to the Abrahamic covenant.

505 00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:33.099 That is not actually true. God says, you will keep 506 00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:37.019 my covenant and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 507 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.400 This is the covenant that you will keep. You will 508 00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.829 do this. You will be circumcised, etc. Circumcision is a 509 00:31:42.869 --> 00:31:47.609 type of baptism, which is a symbol in part of 510 00:31:47.650 --> 00:31:50.009 the circumcision of the heart and the transformation of the 511 00:31:50.049 --> 00:31:53.470 inner man by the Holy Spirit. It is wrong to 512 00:31:53.569 --> 00:31:58.779 divorce that from the actual ritual that we do. And 513 00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.000 that's why Jesus says you must be born of water 514 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.329 and spirit. That's why Acts 2 says, repent and be 515 00:32:04.369 --> 00:32:07.299 baptized for the remission of sins, and they immediately water 516 00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:10.319 baptize people. That's why it is called the labor of regeneration. 517 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.859 All of the Gnostic Baptist heretics divorce the work of 518 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.769 the Holy Spirit from the physical matter, and that's why 519 00:32:17.789 --> 00:32:21.349 they don't have sacraments. They revert to an Old Testament 520 00:32:21.430 --> 00:32:24.529 idea of what the rites are. So in other words, 521 00:32:24.569 --> 00:32:28.009 in their position, it's a retrograde movement to go from 522 00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:33.769 typological Old Testament rites to more typological rites. In other words, 523 00:32:33.829 --> 00:32:37.349 the rites don't do anything now other than what they 524 00:32:37.390 --> 00:32:40.450 did in the Old Testament. Baptism is no different than 525 00:32:40.490 --> 00:32:43.329 circumcision for these people. But in the New Testament, the 526 00:32:43.349 --> 00:32:46.089 realities are here because the Son of God has joined 527 00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:50.410 himself to matter, to flesh, and he uses bread and 528 00:32:50.470 --> 00:32:53.569 wine and water because the Holy Spirit is joined then 529 00:32:53.670 --> 00:32:58.359 to those elements. And every heresy is is a deviation 530 00:32:58.500 --> 00:33:02.309 from that reality that the Old Testament types are pointing to. 531 00:33:02.890 --> 00:33:07.549 They all want to go back to Old Testament rites. 532 00:33:07.990 --> 00:33:12.130 That's why Protestantism as a whole is ultimately a Judaizing heresy, 533 00:33:12.230 --> 00:33:17.230 especially when it comes to its sacramentology. So, and in 534 00:33:17.309 --> 00:33:21.250 Genesis 22, we have another statement about the stipulation when 535 00:33:21.329 --> 00:33:24.829 Jesus steps in and stops Abraham from even giving up 536 00:33:24.910 --> 00:33:29.009 his son in this period of testing. But you'll notice 537 00:33:29.390 --> 00:33:31.470 he says, since you have not withheld your only son, 538 00:33:31.990 --> 00:33:33.670 all of these things I will give to you. This 539 00:33:33.730 --> 00:33:35.769 is another restatement of the covenant. So you notice too 540 00:33:35.789 --> 00:33:40.410 that Abraham has consistently done faithful covenantal actions. It doesn't 541 00:33:40.430 --> 00:33:45.109 mean he's sinless. He has committed sins. There's nobody sinless. 542 00:33:45.690 --> 00:33:48.809 But he has continued to be faithful to the covenant, 543 00:33:48.849 --> 00:33:51.869 which even makes provision for sin. So there was never 544 00:33:51.890 --> 00:33:55.150 an expectation that anyone could be sinless by keeping the covenant, right? 545 00:33:55.910 --> 00:34:00.329 And By the way, you'll notice that it's verse 18, right? 546 00:34:00.990 --> 00:34:02.710 In your seat, all the nations of the earth will 547 00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:06.589 be blessed because you obeyed what I said. So notice 548 00:34:06.630 --> 00:34:11.409 that obedience is still even part of the Abramic Covenant. 549 00:34:11.869 --> 00:34:15.030 This disproves the Protestants who will say, oh, the Abramic 550 00:34:15.150 --> 00:34:18.769 Covenant was all about no works at all, right? You 551 00:34:18.789 --> 00:34:22.980 don't do any works. That's only one-sided covenant. And that's 552 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:26.989 why Paul uses Abraham as the model of justification. But 553 00:34:27.050 --> 00:34:30.070 as we pointed out many times in Romans 4, Paul 554 00:34:30.170 --> 00:34:34.050 doesn't cite Genesis 15. Excuse me, he cites Genesis 15, 555 00:34:34.030 --> 00:34:36.389 but he should have cited Genesis 12 because according to 556 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.300 the Protestant idea, Abraham would have been saved in Genesis 12. 557 00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:42.440 That's when he would have been transitioned out of wrath 558 00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:47.500 into grace. So that refutes Protestantism in terms of sola fide. 559 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:53.019 All right, next, of course, is the Mosaic Covenant. in 560 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:58.119 Exodus 19. And of course, Moses, just like Abraham, is 561 00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.460 a type of Christ. Who is the seed? Well, the 562 00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:04.570 seed is Jesus, according to Galatians 3 and Galatians 4 563 00:35:04.570 --> 00:35:07.530 and Romans 3 and 4. So we know that Jesus 564 00:35:07.610 --> 00:35:09.829 is the seed in the Abrahamic covenant. And so what 565 00:35:09.889 --> 00:35:13.670 Jesus brings is the fulfillment of the promises to Abraham. Now, 566 00:35:13.730 --> 00:35:16.269 what does Jesus bring? The opening up of the covenant 567 00:35:16.429 --> 00:35:20.219 to the Gentiles, which is prophesied in dozens and dozens 568 00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:23.869 of Old Testament passages from the Psalms, to Isaiah, to 569 00:35:23.889 --> 00:35:26.550 the minor prophets. Many, many, many times over, we did 570 00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:29.340 a whole talk on this years ago about how the 571 00:35:29.400 -->

00:35:34.119 prophecies aren't just messianic prophecies. They're also ecclesiological prophecies. In 572 00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:36.940 other words, the church is also a massive element of 573 00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:39.500 the fulfillment of all these Old Testament passages of the 574 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:42.610 Gentiles being brought into the covenant. When you understand that, 575 00:35:42.650 --> 00:35:45.949 that means that the church of history is the fulfillment 576 00:35:45.969 --> 00:35:48.329 of these things. The church of the first thousand years 577 00:35:48.849 --> 00:35:51.690 is not Protestant. Therefore, the church of history is not 578 00:35:51.730 --> 00:35:54.019 the Protestant church And it is the Orthodox Church that 579 00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:59.360 fulfills these promises. In the Mosaic Covenant, you have God 580 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.300 making a promise to the nation of Israel that if 581 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:08.519 they keep these laws and these sacrifices and whatnot, they 582 00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:13.460 will be blessed in the land. God will prosper them 583 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:18.719 and so forth. And it is confirmed with blood sacrifice. Now, 584 00:36:19.329 --> 00:36:23.019 the New Covenant in Christ says, is the ultimate fulfillment 585 00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:26.260 of this because the Passover, the High Priest, all of 586 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.969 those elements of this Mosaic Covenant, according to the book 587 00:36:29.989 --> 00:36:33.800 of Hebrews, are all explained as fulfilled in the work 588 00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.949 of Christ. And even the High Priest, when he goes 589 00:36:37.030 --> 00:36:39.150 in on the Day of Atonement and he atones for 590 00:36:39.190 --> 00:36:40.570 the people at the Ark of the Covenant, at the 591 00:36:40.590 --> 00:36:43.590 mercy seat, that is explained by Hebrews 7 to be 592 00:36:43.630 --> 00:36:47.190 when Jesus went into, in the Ascension, the Holy of 593 00:36:47.210 --> 00:36:50.380 Holies in the third heaven's, and cleanse the way in 594 00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.579 our nature for us. So even the high priest walking 595 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.840 into the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement 596 00:36:55.059 --> 00:36:59.340 is fulfilled in Jesus ascending into the tabernacle in heaven. 597 00:36:59.750 --> 00:37:01.590 This covenant, as we read in the book of Hebrews, 598 00:37:01.849 --> 00:37:04.969 is confirmed with blood. The new covenant is confirmed in 599 00:37:05.010 --> 00:37:07.570 the blood of the high priest himself, the Son of God. 600 00:37:07.610 --> 00:37:10.650 That's why Jesus is prophet, priest, and king, and that's 601 00:37:10.690 --> 00:37:15.409 why this icon actually teaches you that. All of Orthodox 602 00:37:15.489 --> 00:37:19.670 iconography teaches you our theology. So when you see this 603 00:37:19.730 --> 00:37:23.010 picture of Jesus as the great high priest, that right there, 604 00:37:23.489 --> 00:37:27.070 that is teaching you that he fulfills the triplicity of 605 00:37:27.179 --> 00:37:30.719 roles of the Old Testament, prophet, priest, and king. All 606 00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:35.440 those roles, the Old Testament prophets, the Old Testament priests, 607 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.659 the Old Testament kings, all point to Jesus. Did you 608 00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:43.710 know that? In terms of the kingship, we look at 609 00:37:43.710 --> 00:37:47.079 2 Samuel 7. And this is the covenant that God 610 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:51.760 makes with David. David is the next great typological figure 611 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.980 that God makes a covenant with, which obviously points directly 612 00:37:56.019 --> 00:37:58.510 to Christ. Because once again, we are told, through the 613 00:37:58.590 --> 00:38:02.769 seed of David, God will build a house. This great 614 00:38:02.849 --> 00:38:05.889 house will bless all the nations. And it will be 615 00:38:05.909 --> 00:38:09.969 through his descendant that this righteous seed comes. Now remember, 616 00:38:10.670 --> 00:38:14.230 even Jews believe that all of these prophecies and predictions 617 00:38:14.250 --> 00:38:17.360 are are of the Messiah. They just don't think it's Jesus. 618 00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:22.019 So all of Jewish theology, at least Messianic Jewish theology 619 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:25.840 and classical Jewish theology, still believes that this is talking 620 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.360 about the Messiah. They just don't think it's Jesus. But 621 00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:31.099 that's why the New Testament is so adamant to stress 622 00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:35.230 that Jesus is the descendant of Abraham and David. Because 623 00:38:35.730 --> 00:38:39.570 the promises to David, I will establish an eternal kingdom, 624 00:38:40.010 --> 00:38:43.889 an eternal house. My house will be through your son. 625 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:47.480 and all of your sons will be my sons. Once again, 626 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.199 just like with Abraham. It's not lineal descent, physical descent, 627 00:38:52.739 --> 00:38:55.889 that is the ultimate determiner of this. There is a 628 00:38:55.929 --> 00:39:00.429 biological aspect in that Jesus really was the biological descendant 629 00:39:01.349 --> 00:39:07.329 of Abraham, of David, and then he comes, right, to 630 00:39:07.369 --> 00:39:10.949 fulfill those promises. But it's also spiritual in that it 631 00:39:11.010 --> 00:39:13.650 is opened up to the Gentiles and And thus the 632 00:39:13.690 --> 00:39:18.320 Gentiles come into the Orthodox Church, which is the spiritual Israel. 633 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.570 It is that simple. There is no other church in 634 00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:27.550 history in the first thousand years of Christianity other than 635 00:39:27.570 --> 00:39:31.260 the Orthodox Catholic Church. Therefore, it is the fulfillment of 636 00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:35.840 all these promises. And if other things deviate

or go away, well, 637 00:39:35.860 --> 00:39:40.719 guess what happens? Covenant sanctions. What are covenant sanctions? Well, 638 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:48.510 if we go back to Deuteronomy, God told the Israelites... 639 00:39:48.369 --> 00:39:51.110 There are certain blessings in this relationship that we have. 640 00:39:51.150 --> 00:39:55.219 And in many passages throughout the Old Testament, God's relationship 641 00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:58.519 to Israel is pictured as a husband and a wife, 642 00:39:58.579 --> 00:40:01.340 as a man and his bride. Israel is the bride 643 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:04.760 of God. That imagery comes to its fulfillment in Christ 644 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:09.769 the Messiah, Israel incarnate. Jesus is Israel incarnate. Out of 645 00:40:09.829 --> 00:40:12.809 Israel I've called my son. Speaking of Jesus as Israel. 646 00:40:13.349 --> 00:40:17.360 The church is the bride of Jesus, the bridegroom. There 647 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:21.800 are covenant sanctions and covenant blessings, just like with all 648 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:26.409 the covenants. If Abraham was disobedient, then he would not 649 00:40:26.449 --> 00:40:30.670 have inherited those promises. He was obedient through an active 650 00:40:30.829 --> 00:40:34.829 living faith. That's why Paul says in Galatians, faith working 651 00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:38.130 through love is what counts, not empty dead faith, as 652 00:40:38.190 --> 00:40:40.880 James says. And so James and Paul are in harmony 653 00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:43.980 because Protestants don't read the rest of Galatians where Paul 654 00:40:44.019 --> 00:40:46.500 says that it has to be a faith working through love. 655 00:40:47.059 --> 00:40:50.039 So Paul's very clear what he means by a saving faith. 656 00:40:50.739 --> 00:40:53.980 It's the same thing James means. Protestants just divorce this 657 00:40:54.340 --> 00:40:57.659 and create their own fictional legal categories to justify their 658 00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.989 stupid heresy. There's covenant blessings and cursings. If you disobey, 659 00:41:02.010 --> 00:41:04.650 you get cursings. If you obey, you get blessings. Now, 660 00:41:04.989 --> 00:41:07.869 it is true that at the time of the Mosaic Covenant, 661 00:41:08.530 --> 00:41:13.590 the emphasis was on the physical temporal blessings. Even still, though, 662 00:41:13.670 --> 00:41:16.719 at this time, there are spiritual blessings. Blessings. But God 663 00:41:16.780 --> 00:41:23.670 was utilizing a temporal focus to teach a spiritual pedagogical lesson. 664 00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:27.429 So even then they were supposed to understand you circumcise 665 00:41:27.469 --> 00:41:30.630 your heart. That's why Jeremiah says circumcise your heart. That's 666 00:41:30.670 --> 00:41:33.019 not invented in the New Testament. Jeremiah said that. In 667 00:41:33.059 --> 00:41:36.119 other words, even then, circumcision was supposed to teach you 668 00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.099 that it's the inner man that has to be changed. 669 00:41:38.579 --> 00:41:42.139 The only difference between the covenant blessings here and what 670 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.550 happens now is that the emphasis shifts. Whereas it was 671 00:41:45.610 --> 00:41:49.599 emphasized temporally at the Mosaic period, now that we're in 672 00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:52.599 the new covenant, the emphasis switches to the spiritual emphasis. 673 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.199 It still doesn't even mean that there's no temporal emphasis 674 00:41:56.659 --> 00:42:00.070 or blessing. If you're blessed, it's still from God. How 675 00:42:00.090 --> 00:42:02.510 do I know this? Where am I getting this? Blessings 676 00:42:02.570 --> 00:42:06.210 and cursings. Oh, did you notice that when Jesus talks 677 00:42:06.250 --> 00:42:10.159 to the seven churches in Asia Minor, it's the same setup. 678 00:42:10.889 --> 00:42:14.309 It's blessings and cursings based on your disobedience in the 679 00:42:14.349 --> 00:42:17.110 new covenant. If you obey, you will overcome. I will 680 00:42:17.130 --> 00:42:20.320 give you this, this, this. For example, those that claim 681 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.960 to be Jews but are the synagogue of Satan, they 682 00:42:25.059 --> 00:42:28.840 will be humiliated before you if you obey me. To 683 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:32.510 the compromising church of Pergamos, if you do not repent, 684 00:42:32.789 --> 00:42:36.090 I will come against you and fight against you with 685 00:42:36.130 --> 00:42:39.369 the spirit of my mouth, the sword of my mouth. Again, 686 00:42:39.449 --> 00:42:42.969 showing that the idiot premillennial view that the sword that 687 00:42:43.010 --> 00:42:45.150 proceeds out of his mouth is not the second coming. 688 00:42:45.530 --> 00:42:48.090 It's the covenant curses and blessings in the preaching of 689 00:42:48.110 --> 00:42:51.550 the gospel, even in the book of Revelation itself. However, 690 00:42:52.110 --> 00:42:56.550 if at Pergamos you are faithful, I will give you 691 00:42:56.630 --> 00:42:58.989 of the hidden manna. I will give you a white stone. 692 00:42:59.030 --> 00:43:04.219 You will get certain blessings for obedience. If you are disobedient, 693 00:43:04.780 --> 00:43:08.420 you will undergo the curses. Blessings and curses in the 694 00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:11.159 New Testament apply to the churches, the new covenant people. 695 00:43:11.820 --> 00:43:18.030 In other words, it's the bride-groom relationship, and it's covenantal, 696 00:43:18.349 --> 00:43:21.190 and it's blessings and cursings based on whether you're faithful 697 00:43:21.329 --> 00:43:25.309 or unfaithful to the covenant. It is no different. Notice here, 698 00:43:25.909 --> 00:43:28.110 if you do not repent and continue to do the 699 00:43:28.150 --> 00:43:31.489 things that you're doing over here at Thyatira, I will 700 00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:35.849 come against you with disease and death. Jesus is saying, 701 00:43:35.929 -->

00:43:39.329 I'm going to come kill you. not physically, directly, but 702 00:43:39.630 --> 00:43:43.670 he will send disease and death the same way he 703 00:43:43.710 --> 00:43:49.030 sent disease and death on the disobedient Israelites at Baal Peor. 704 00:43:49.750 --> 00:43:54.349 Exactly what Deuteronomy said. If you disobey, you get death 705 00:43:54.510 --> 00:43:57.849 and curses. If you obey, you will win. You will 706 00:43:58.369 --> 00:44:02.710 dominate your enemies, and perhaps even in this life. That's 707 00:44:02.730 --> 00:44:04.909 why the church was so powerful and victorious for so 708 00:44:04.929 --> 00:44:07.860 many years and for so many centuries. And then when 709 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.420 you become like the world, you undergo covenant cursings and 710 00:44:12.460 --> 00:44:16.409 you are weak and you are trampled on. You can 711 00:44:16.449 --> 00:44:20.829 either dominate your opponents through divine power, if you're faithful, 712 00:44:22.050 --> 00:44:26.030 or you will be dominated and perhaps even killed. This 713 00:44:26.110 --> 00:44:29.230 is no different than the blessings and cursings of Deuteronomy. 714 00:44:29.289 --> 00:44:34.190 It's just a difference of emphasis. In fact, you're even 715 00:44:34.250 --> 00:44:37.739 warned that Which one is it? One of them, he says, 716 00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:40.590 I will take away your lampstand. So you won't even 717 00:44:40.630 --> 00:44:43.489 be in the covenant anymore. You will be removed. Blessings 718 00:44:43.550 --> 00:44:47.710 and cursings, Revelation 2 and 3, applied identically the same 719 00:44:48.250 --> 00:44:52.289 as Deuteronomy and Leviticus 26. Now, again, the emphasis is different. 720 00:44:52.610 --> 00:44:56.440 So it is more spiritually focused now. But you'll notice, 721 00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:00.500 did Jesus say, oh, I will not come with physical 722 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.320 death and sickness? No, he said physical death and sickness. 723 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:05.420 Paul says, if you come to the Eucharist and you 724 00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:10.179 eat unworthily, some of you are now dead, physical death 725 00:45:10.739 --> 00:45:17.280 through transgressing the covenant, the covenant meal. So what does 726 00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.219 this mean? This means that the church is Israel. It 727 00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:26.440 is the true Israel. Paul calls it the Israel of God, 728 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:31.889 Galatians 6.16. As many as you walk according to his rule, 729 00:45:32.010 --> 00:45:35.730 his teaching, Peace be upon you and upon the Israel 730 00:45:35.750 --> 00:45:39.110 of God. The church is the Israel of God. In fact, 731 00:45:39.150 --> 00:45:41.909 Jesus makes this so abundantly clear in Matthew 21 in 732 00:45:41.929 --> 00:45:45.710 the parable, it's kind of amazing that anyone doesn't believe this. 733 00:45:46.409 --> 00:45:48.780 When the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he 734 00:45:48.820 -->

00:45:52.199 do to the vinedressers? That's the Jews. He'll destroy them. 735 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.519 Have you not read the scripture? The stone that the 736 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.059 builders rejected, Jesus is the stone, the Jews are rejecting him, 737 00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.760 has become the cornerstone. Therefore, the kingdom of God will 738 00:46:01.780 --> 00:46:05.260 be taken from you and given to a nation producing 739 00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:08.269 the fruits thereof. That's the Gentiles. He's just using the 740 00:46:08.289 --> 00:46:12.449 word nation to symbolize or reference all of the other 741 00:46:12.590 --> 00:46:16.170 Gentiles that would come in. This nation that he's talking 742 00:46:16.190 --> 00:46:20.230 about is his kingdom, the church, wherein he says, you, 743 00:46:20.389 --> 00:46:23.250 my apostles, will sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 744 00:46:23.250 --> 00:46:27.429 tribes of Israel. That's the church. Romans 11. Wait a minute. 745 00:46:27.730 --> 00:46:32.559 But what about promises to Jews and the Old Testament Israelites. 746 00:46:32.980 --> 00:46:36.320 Salvation has come upon the Gentiles to eventually provoke Jews 747 00:46:36.380 --> 00:46:40.639 to convert. That's the whole point. If Jews failing in 748 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:45.949 their mission means that salvation is opened up to the Gentiles, well, 749 00:46:45.989 --> 00:46:48.269 how much better will it be when they convert? How 750 00:46:48.309 --> 00:46:49.949 that is and when that is, we don't know, but 751 00:46:49.989 --> 00:46:53.650 they will convert. We're told that. Paul says, I'm speaking 752 00:46:53.670 --> 00:46:57.210 to Gentiles because I am an apostle to the Gentiles. 753 00:46:57.769 --> 00:47:00.440 If the casting away of the Jews out of the 754 00:47:00.500 --> 00:47:04.500 covenant results providentially in the reconciling of the Gentiles to God, 755 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:10.019 then what will it be when they accept Christ, accept 756 00:47:10.099 --> 00:47:13.380 life from the dead? For if the first fruit is holy, 757 00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:14.739 the lump is holy. If the root is holy, so 758 00:47:14.780 --> 00:47:17.239 are the branches. Some of the branches are broken off 759 00:47:17.300 --> 00:47:20.519 so that Gentiles could be grafted in. That is not 760 00:47:21.099 --> 00:47:24.800 dual covenant. That is one tree, one branch, one covenant, 761 00:47:25.739 --> 00:47:30.010 and grafted in or grafted out. The imagery refutes dual 762 00:47:30.050 --> 00:47:34.409 covenant theology heresy of dispensationalism. You Gentiles in Rome will say, 763 00:47:34.449 --> 00:47:36.389 but the Jewish branches were broken off so that I 764 00:47:36.429 --> 00:47:40.420 could be grafted in. Okay, but do not be arrogant, 765 00:47:40.460 --> 00:47:43.119 but fear. If God did not spare the natural branches, 766 00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:44.820 he may not spare you. Oh, wait a minute. I 767 00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:48.019 thought the church of Rome was indefectible. Isn't it interesting 768 00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:52.199 that providentially Paul gives us warning to the church of Rome, 769 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.190 which became haughty. and ended up rejected. Rome had its 770 00:47:57.409 --> 00:48:00.829 lampstand removed, exactly as was predicted for the other churches 771 00:48:00.869 --> 00:48:05.449 in Revelation that are disobedient. Paul is providentially saying this 772 00:48:05.489 --> 00:48:07.849 to the church at Rome, that they will be haughty 773 00:48:07.889 --> 00:48:11.840 and arrogant. Beware. If you continue Church of Rome in 774 00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:14.619 God's goodness, otherwise you will be cut off. Oh, but 775 00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.099 wait a minute. Did Paul not know about Vatican I, 776 00:48:17.139 --> 00:48:20.239 that it's impossible for the Roman seed to defect? It 777 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:23.639 can never be cut off. How ridiculous is Roman Catholic religion? 778 00:48:24.070 --> 00:48:27.610 nonsense theology in regard to what Paul says. Clear as day. 779 00:48:28.130 --> 00:48:30.889 Blindness has happened to the Jews until the fullness of 780 00:48:30.909 --> 00:48:33.559 the Gentiles comes in. And then he goes on to 781 00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:38.500 say that in God's providence, there will be a conversion 782 00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:40.860 of the Jews, and they will come to Christ. How 783 00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:43.260 and when that is, we don't know. But God will 784 00:48:43.300 --> 00:48:46.000 remove the veil over their heart at some point. And 785 00:48:46.019 --> 00:48:48.539 the church fathers comment on this, and almost all of 786 00:48:48.579 --> 00:48:50.599 them that talk about this admit, yes, there is a 787 00:48:50.659 --> 00:48:53.820 future conversion of the Jews. So, There's a lot of 788 00:48:53.900 --> 00:48:57.500 dumb heresies to avoid here. We're not premillennialists. We're not 789 00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:02.239 pre-trib goobers. We don't worship the socialist nation state of Israel, 790 00:49:02.260 --> 00:49:06.989 which is founded as an atheistic, pantheistic nonsense state. It's 791 00:49:07.030 --> 00:49:09.889 a geopolitical entity. It doesn't have anything to do with this. 792 00:49:10.510 --> 00:49:13.570 Jews as a people group, as a religious people group, well, 793 00:49:14.250 --> 00:49:17.510 at some future point, become Orthodox Christians. How and when, 794 00:49:17.550 --> 00:49:20.139 we don't know. But Paul is saying that that will 795 00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:24.239 happen in the future. When the Gentiles have finished coming in, 796 00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.960 and I think this might even, this is my speculation, 797 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:31.260 so don't quote me on this as all Jays think 798 00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:35.349 he's a church father. My speculation is that the largely 799 00:49:35.510 --> 00:49:40.500 majority Gentile church will actually apostatize and And at some point,

800 00:49:40.579 --> 00:49:44.320 the Jews will be grafted back in as converts to 801 00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:47.429 Orthodox Christianity. That's my speculation. I could be wrong, but 802 00:49:48.050 --> 00:49:51.409 it seems to line up with the patterns that Paul 803 00:49:51.469 --> 00:49:57.690 talks about here. Now, all of that is 100% contrary 804 00:49:57.769 --> 00:50:03.110 to the dispensationalist narrative. For example, there are many passages 805 00:50:03.130 --> 00:50:05.139 that talk about, and we'll look at a couple of them, 806 00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:10.329 God enforcing the covenant sanctions to divorce Israel. Now, wait 807 00:50:10.349 --> 00:50:12.869 a minute. How does God keep his promise of, I 808 00:50:12.909 --> 00:50:16.340 will never leave you, forsake you. You are Israel. I 809 00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:18.340 will always love you. You are my beloved, et cetera, 810 00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:21.619 et cetera. But also prophecies and predictions of the divorce 811 00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:21.980 of Israel. 812 00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:22.480 Hmm. 813 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.659 What we saw in Matthew 21, 43, Jesus is referring 814 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:27.949 to that divorce. The kingdom of God will be taken 815 00:50:27.989 --> 00:50:34.449 away from you. Sit at my right hand until I 816 00:50:34.449 --> 00:50:37.969 make your enemies your footstool. All the evangelical heretics and 817 00:50:38.030 --> 00:50:42.289 goobers postpone that to the end of the world. Oh, 818 00:50:42.329 --> 00:50:45.139 that's when Jesus comes back and sets up his temple 819 00:50:45.409 --> 00:50:49.500 and we have animal sacrifices again and we have a millennium. 820 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.860 Then why does the book of Acts cite this about 821 00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:56.119 the ascension? David did not ascend into the heaven. The 822 00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:58.010 Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand 823 00:50:58.550 --> 00:51:00.429 until I make your enemies your footstool. Therefore, let all 824 00:51:00.449 --> 00:51:02.289 the house of Israel know that God has made Jesus. 825 00:51:02.909 --> 00:51:03.110 Lord. 826 00:51:03.510 --> 00:51:06.429 So Psalm 110 is not the end of the world. 827 00:51:06.949 --> 00:51:09.369 It's the ascension. Do you know what the ascension is? 828 00:51:09.710 --> 00:51:11.449 I mentioned the Protestants don't even know what we're talking about. 829 00:51:13.050 --> 00:51:17.469 That's when Jesus ascended after the resurrection. The beginning of 830 00:51:17.530 --> 00:51:19.679 the book of Acts. What are you talking about? The 831 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.760 plan of God in history is chopped up into a 832 00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.380 bunch of different plan B, plan C, plan D, etc. 833 00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:29.519 God created man and he gave a covenant of works 834 00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:33.570 with Adam and Adam failed and so God established this 835 00:51:33.690 --> 00:51:37.380 next covenant called the covenant of conscience with Cain and Abel. 836 00:51:38.300 --> 00:51:40.960 Who knows where Darby and Schofield got this? They just 837 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.440 made it up. That failed, and so they gave Noah 838 00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:45.920 the covenant of human government. That's what you heard me 839 00:51:45.980 --> 00:51:49.039 referring to with Noah having the ability to exact the 840 00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:52.219 death penalty. That didn't do well, and so God called 841 00:51:52.300 --> 00:51:56.090 out Abraham and gave him a promise, and the promise 842 00:51:56.130 --> 00:52:02.030 of Abraham is a one-sided, not works-based covenant, a covenant 843 00:52:02.070 --> 00:52:06.559 of grace. And that's contrasted to the covenant with Moses, 844 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:09.960 which is a covenant of works. And so some dispensationalists 845 00:52:10.059 --> 00:52:12.980 actually believe that you can be saved by doing good 846 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:17.199 works and keeping the Mosaic covenant. That's stupid. But what 847 00:52:17.219 --> 00:52:20.329 they don't realize is that Paul says that the gospel 848 00:52:20.369 --> 00:52:24.909 was preached to Abraham. Galatians 3.8, Scripture, foreseeing that God 849 00:52:24.929 --> 00:52:29.150 would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham, saying, 850 00:52:29.550 --> 00:52:32.530 In you all the nations shall be blessed. That means, 851 00:52:32.610 --> 00:52:36.539 contrary to what idiot Trent Horn said, they actually believed 852 00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:39.500 in the Trinity. They actually believed in Jesus. There's no 853 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:42.159 way to be saved other than Jesus. The only difference 854 00:52:42.219 --> 00:52:45.559 is that Abraham didn't just look forward to him. I mean, 855 00:52:45.579 --> 00:52:49.099 he did, but Abraham knew him. Because when you study 856 00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.059 the Theophanies and you understand that Abraham is eating with Jesus, 857 00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:55.780 now you see, oh, that's how he worships the Trinity. 858 00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:01.289 He met Jesus in person. In fact, That is the 859 00:53:01.590 --> 00:53:07.409 Orthodox Catholic teaching. Trent Horn doesn't even know that his 860 00:53:07.449 --> 00:53:10.750 stupid heresy of denying the belief in the Trinity in 861 00:53:10.769 --> 00:53:15.800 the Old Testament makes him an Aryan and a Muslim. 862 00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.219 What does St. Maximus say? St. Maximus the Confessor taught 863 00:53:21.260 --> 00:53:25.239 that Abraham believed in and worshipped the Trinity. God appeared 864 00:53:25.260 --> 00:53:27.139 to Abraham who was perfect in knowledge and who already 865 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.590 possessed an intellect completely beyond matter and his figurations. God 866 00:53:30.670 --> 00:53:33.070 taught him that the immaterial principle of the Trinity adheres 867 00:53:33.110 --> 00:53:35.809 in the principle of its unity. For

this reason, God 868 00:53:35.869 --> 00:53:38.230 appeared to Abraham as three and spoke as one. 869 00:53:38.809 --> 00:53:41.869 I'm delighted to present my latest book, In Defense of Israel. 870 00:53:42.409 --> 00:53:44.829 This book will expose the sins of the fathers and 871 00:53:44.869 --> 00:53:47.829 the vicious abuse of the Jewish people. In Defense of 872 00:53:47.929 --> 00:53:52.130 Israel will shape Christian theology. It scripturally proves that the 873 00:53:52.190 --> 00:53:55.550 Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. 874 00:53:56.150 --> 00:53:58.489 It will also prove that Jesus did not come to 875 00:53:58.550 --> 00:54:01.440 earth to be the Messiah. It will prove that there 876 00:54:01.460 --> 00:54:05.159 was a Calvary conspiracy between Rome, the high priest, and 877 00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:06.699 Herod to execute Jesus. 878 00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:09.400 Did you hear that? Jesus is not the Messiah. I think, 879 00:54:09.420 --> 00:54:14.699 by the way, there was rumors that allegedly he even 880 00:54:14.739 --> 00:54:17.360 had to pull this book because it was so controversial, 881 00:54:17.380 --> 00:54:18.300 but I don't know if he did or not. 882 00:54:18.940 --> 00:54:22.900 As an insurrectionist too dangerous to live, since Jesus refused 883 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.420 by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah. 884 00:54:26.019 --> 00:54:31.519 Did you hear that? This idiot. actually said Jesus refused 885 00:54:32.579 --> 00:54:37.489 to claim to be the Messiah. And there are millions 886 00:54:37.739 --> 00:54:41.050 of people that believe this idiotic heretic. It's kind of unreal. 887 00:54:41.550 --> 00:54:44.190 How can the Jews be blamed for rejecting what was 888 00:54:44.250 --> 00:54:48.250 never offered? Read it in this shocking expose in defense 889 00:54:48.329 --> 00:54:48.789 of Israel. 890 00:54:50.550 --> 00:54:56.179 That is dispensationalism in its essence right there. What is 891 00:54:56.219 --> 00:55:00.179 the kingdom of God? In Luke 17, 21, Jesus says, 892 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:02.489 they will not say see here or see there, for 893 00:55:02.530 --> 00:55:10.250 indeed the kingdom of God is within you. When he 894 00:55:10.289 --> 00:55:16.579 talked to Peter, he said, blessed are you, Simon Barjona, right? 895 00:55:21.019 --> 00:55:23.039 On this rock I will build my church and the 896 00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:25.820 gates of hell will not prevail against it. I will 897 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:29.550 give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Peter 898 00:55:29.610 --> 00:55:34.340 has an office of exercising the keys of the kingdom. 899 00:55:34.500 --> 00:55:37.980 How is this possible if the kingdom is a 2,000 900 00:55:37.980 --> 00:55:42.260 year later, 3,000 year later future reality? Obviously, the kingdom 901 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.780 is the church. It is identified as the church many 902 00:55:45.820 --> 00:55:49.449 times over. The kingdom is the church. It is the 903 00:55:49.670 --> 00:55:53.309 holy nation, the royal priesthood, 1 Peter 2. It is 904 00:55:53.369 --> 00:55:55.869 the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven that Paul 905 00:55:55.909 --> 00:56:05.119 says is a present reality In Galatians 4, we are 906 00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:09.820 the children of promise, like Isaac, the children of the 907 00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:14.989 Jerusalem above, the heavenly Jerusalem, mother church, right there, the 908 00:56:15.030 --> 00:56:15.840 mother of us all.
