Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Hello, and welcome to another Leviticus Hebrews Bible Study on
the No Wrong Questions Bible Study either No Wrong Questions
Bible Study channel on YouTube or the alternatively show channel.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
But this is the Bible study.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
If you've been around for a while, you know, if
you haven't been around for a while, what are you doing?
On part ten the Bible Study of levitic What are
you doing with your life? Maybe God wants some to
listen to this episode, and maybe this is going to
be the best one. Actually, I did want to say,
like we were not planning on recording this today.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Liz. Liz had put together a show on.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Exorcism, the Exorcism Question, and we were supposed to record
two parts of her Exorcism Question, and she's sad because it.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Turned into three parts. And I was like, I'm not
recording for another three hours. We could do a one
hour Bible study today. We only recorded the first part
and we'll get to the part two and three one. Yeah,
we get them.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, but it was really good and I'm excited for
you guys to hear it. Of course you're going to
hear it. I think before you hear this, because of yeah,
I think so that's anyway, because we already have one
other Bible study prerecorded, so that's going to come out first.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, are there just gonna be so confused about time
and we're gonna guesslight you to thinking more time travelers
what we should do. Instead of telling you all of
our plans what we're doing ahead of time, just leave
out that part and just refer to things out of order,
so they're like, what is where's what?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
But what we are doing and what we're kind of
committing to be doing will remind you of this is
that every weekend we work, we will record and we'll
record what we what we have to record when it
makes sense for us to record. So this weekend, it's
made sense for us to do this, so that there
are going to be times probably where we have an
overage of Bible studies and we might give you an

(02:29):
extra Bible study in a week. It just it's we're
going to record what we have and then we're going
to give you what we have and.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
We'll leave it to the Lord.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
But all that to say, I am really excited to
do this Bible study that we weren't planning on doing.
So I am hopeful that God has something special for
us today, and maybe it's just special for me and
it's not actually gonna be special for you, and.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Is like definitely not special for anyone, but happy. You
guys are just like stuck on Abby's whims or whatever.
But I'm the main character, so that's the main character.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
No, I'm really I'm really happy about this. So shout
out to Liz for writing really long notes.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I guess yeah, I'm It's like the miracle of Eli
Generalish miracle of the wine the oil, and this is
sever ends. It's like my notes. I'm like, we're We've
done ten shows off of this one notes and it's
still not over. What is happening here? I don't think
I wrote all of these.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
It is fun, like how those conversations like expand because
there's so much interesting stuff in them. Okay, let's get
into it. Liz, will you pray for us?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Sure? Jesus, thank you for our freedom to do this,
to read the Bible openly and discuss it openly, I asked.
And you help it to minister to people's hearts, whether
they are saved or not. You use it to plant
seeds in their hearts so that they will continue to
grow closer to you, and I ask that you lead
us into truth and keep us away from error, keep
us away from leaving people into error. And I ask

(04:01):
you just if anything that we say is true, let
it bring untrue in the hearts of listening so that
they go and do the research themselves. And I pray
all this in Jesus name med A men. So we are.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
We are on Hebrews chapter eleven today and Hebrews only
has thirteen chapters, and then Leviticus has twenty seven chapters
and we are on chapter twenty one, so we're tracking
pretty good. But that's kind of our status on Leviticus
right now, on both books right now.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
So we will.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Let's get into Hebrews eleven, which is my favorite chapter
of Hebrews. And it's probably my favorite chapter because my
third grade teacher in Christian school Christian private school that
we were in for a while because reasons, made us
memorize it. So it's one of those things that's been
written on my heart for a long time, and I
just love it.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I love reading it. I would read this one a lot.
I didn't have to memorize it, but I just really
liked it. Yeah, it's really cool, okay. Verse one.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the
conviction of things not seen, for by the people of
old receive their commendation by faith. We understand that the
universe was created by the Word of God, so that
what is seen was not made out of things that
are visible. So this interplay between things that are not

(05:20):
seen and yet are very real, and that our faith
isn't isn't just as nebulous, like oh, I guess I believe,
I guess I believe in miracles, I believe in the spiritual,
but like it's an assurance, it's a conviction that we
have this confidence that these unseen things exist and in
fact that everything that is seen was created out of

(05:44):
the unseen, that even any error, that everything we see
as being real is actually less real than the stuff
we can't see. Yes, that that it relies on the
things that cannot be seen. And so we had this
ten to think that that what we can't see, what
we have faith in, is less real than the stuff
in front of us, when it's the opposite.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like I think someone was mentioning in every the passage
where the I think it's Elijah praise that his servant's
eyes will be opened, and then he sees like ten
thousands of angels people have gone off of that and
been like the spiritual life, Like the spiritual beings may
vastly outnumber us, like a gazillion to one, that there's
like so much other stuff and we're just like a

(06:27):
tiny little portion of creation. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it.
It's possible.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I won't actually have a lot to say about this passage.
I reserve the right too, But it may be that
it's a little bit more narrative some of these. Yeah,
a lot of Like our last episode, we just talked
about like half a chapter of Pepers and that's all
we got to the whole hour because it was so thick.
But I think this kind of doesn't need as much expence.
It's not that difficult to purse you and also just

(06:52):
flows really nice. So it's a walk through history by faith.
Able offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than king,
through which he was commended as righteous God commending him
by accepting his gifts and through his faith. Though he died,
he still speaks by faith. Enoch was taken up so
that he could not see death, and he was not

(07:13):
found because God had taken him. Now before he was taken,
he was commended as having pleased God. And without faith,
it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw
near to God must believe that he exists and that
he rewards those who seek him. This is this is
cool here. It's impossible to please God without your faith

(07:35):
and to because faith is how you come near to God.
So what pleases God is us coming near to him
in relationship. And in order to do that, in order
to draw near to God, you have to believe that
he exists. But that's not enough, Like it's not enough
to just feel like, oh, God's real, because there are
a lot of people who are like God's real and
he hates me, or God's real, and I have to

(07:56):
be afraid. I like, I'm just I'm just gonna not
because I'm afraid of hell and all that. But no,
like that, he rewards those who seek him.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
He doesn't hide himself from you. Isn't like coy Like
if you seek him, you will find him. Verse seven.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
By faith, Noah being warned by God concerning events as
yet unseen in reverent fear, constructed an arc for the
saving of his household. By this, he condemned the world
that became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
This verse, sorry, is a pair of the verse in
James refers to the faith and works of Noah, and
this one is explaining the works of Noah are by faith,
Like the action became because of faith. Yeah. And it's
not the works that saved, it is the faith it's saved. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Like Noah had faith that God was telling him the
truth when he warned of the coming events and gave
him his structures of what to do, and the faith
would have been false if he hadn't followed through with
the action.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
We know he believed God because he obeyed God. If
he was like, yeah, God, I believe you that a
storm is coming and I'm going to need an arc
to get through it, and then that doesn't build an arc.
He clearly doesn't trust God, didn't actually believe what God said.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, But by his faith he condemned the world. I
find that fascinating too. Of Like, you know how you
people get so mad when you do better than them
because it condemns their own actions, that you're your right
behavior makes them look bad.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
That I think that's what this is about. Like if
I'm really successful at one thing and other people are like, wow, gee,
I would never be able to do that thing, kind
of wish you weren't successful, because now I feel bad
about not trying because you prove that it's possible, right,
I would prefer the excuse that it's not possible. Yeah,
because no one can say, oh.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I I died in the flood because God's just a
big meaning that flooded the world. No, he provided a
way of escape. It's just only know what took it.
Had you trusted in God, yeah, you would have been
on the boat. Because God never said I'm only going
to save you. In fact, I wasn't Moses like yeah preaching. No,
it was supposed to get preached like anyone who wanted
to believe in God, ac come on there could have Yeah,

(10:02):
but a less verse eight by faith, Abraham obeyed when
he was called to go out to a place that
he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went
out not knowing where he was going.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's the language in this chapter is so beautiful.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, the way that these people's faith is painted, especially
when you know the stories and like you, most of
this is most of not all of us, is from Genesis,
and but it's put in a different way, and you're like, wow,
that like makes it more meaningful.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
What was that? What actually happened here?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
That he God told him to go and he did
not know where he was going, and he just went
by faith. He went to live in the land of promise,
as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac
and Jacob ers with him of the same promise. For
he was looking forward to the city that has foundations,
whose designer and builder is God. So that's the news. Yeah,
So Abraham went and lived in tents in the promised Land,

(10:54):
looking forward to something that we haven't even seen yet,
and that I don't think he even saw as clearly
as we see it now in light of revelation.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
This kind of clicked something for me because I was
always like God promised him this promised land and he
never really got to inherit it. Yeah, but like what
God promised him, I'm thinking of it as like the
physical stuff that the Jews live in, but it's the
the end thing that's still coming that he's still going
to get to.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, the promised Land hasn't really been fulfilled yet.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That whole thing already not yet. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, by faith, Sarah herself received power to conceive even
when she was past the age, since she considered him
faithful who had promised I love this because.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
She literally laughed at God. It was like, that's really
funny that you think I'm gonna get Frank. I always
I always took it that way of like she was scoffing.
But I kind of wonder if, like she believed him.
But she just laughed because she was suddenly taken by
just the absurdity of like an old woman having a baby.
It was like a lack of faith that made her laugh.
But that she you know, lied about it because she

(11:53):
was kind of worried that it would be taken that.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Way, don't right, Well, I think that if we're talking
about faith and works when you're past the age.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
To conceive, oh they were, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So her active faith would be I mean it's not
to say that a woman whose past menopause doesn't still
want sex with her husband, but you yeah, women who
don't think that they can have kids anymore, aren't tracking
their cycle, aren't thinking about whatever, and so in order
for God basically told her, you, like, you have the

(12:29):
power to conceive, you're going to have a kid.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
So they were probably trying the whole time.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I would imagine that her active faith would be to
continue trying to have a kid because she believed God
would give her one. Yeah, that's kind of how I
read this. For her to be in the faith passage
at all, I think cast heavily implies that she she
wasn't just like, oh I randomly had sex with Abraham
one day and sure enough a baby showed up.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Like I think she was active, yeah, trying. I think
it wasn't well for thirteen years, like they were like,
oh we didn't randomly get a baby, might as well
try sex this time.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, but like at that age, I imagine that had
she not had the faith, that they probably weren't having
as much sex at that point. This is just speculation,
but there's a reason she's.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
In here for her faith. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, therefore from it, and it seems to by faith,
Sarah herself received power to conceive even when she was
past the age, since she considered him faithful who had
promised that. Consider it's there's like a because she believed
because she had faced she got the child, and I
think that's more than just an emotion, like the action
is part of the faith.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, she like took God at his word of like, Okay,
you know you made this promise and you're going to
fulfill it. Like it's not like a oh, we'll see
if this pans out right. Right.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Therefore, from one man and him, as good as dead
were born to sentence, as many as the stars of heaven,
and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by
the sea shore. Now, I will say also when Sarah
had for him to try with Hagar, it wasn't that
she lost faith that a child was going to be
given to her. It's that she lost faith in her
understanding of what God had said. But her understanding had

(14:08):
been correct, and she just needed to be like, Okay,
he's coming a little bit later than I thought.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
This is something.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
I'm glad you said that because I struggled with this
so much where I'm like God, it's.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I think, okay, Like.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I was so sure that you told me this, and
then I was wrong. And there's been especially a part
of me that's like, am I condemned with other false
prophets because I was wrong? Because I misheard you, but
like I believed in good faith if this is what
you were doing. And I think that there are times
where God has called me to a path and he

(14:47):
has shown me the reward at the end of the path,
and I have taken that to mean you promised this
to me, and you promised this to me in the time,
in a certain timetable this way, and there have been
times where it it was difficult for me to see

(15:09):
how that panned out. Well, yeah, really confusing stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
When the pattern in the Bible very often is God
will give a promise and then a really long amount
of time will happen, right, and then the promise comes true.
And it's not just that it's like, oh, yeah, I
said that and then I forgot to make a note
in my calendar. Oh my god, No, no, no, yeah, fine,
I'm sorry, you're old now. It's that God makes a promise,
he shows you the destination, and then he equips you

(15:36):
for it, because at this point where you're given the promise,
you actually don't have what it takes to enter into
the promised land. And then you have to go through
the wilderness and learn trust and faith in God that
prepares you for going into the Promised Land, because the
Israelites they could have gone just like a bee line
straight from Egypt to the Promised Land and then like boom.
But what God needed to do before they reached the

(15:57):
promise end the first time was build the faith in
them to show His mighty works, to take care of them,
sustain them. And then they get to the promised them
and they're like, you know, actually, you know, all that
work we did, it didn't take. It didn't take. So
then they had to do more work with the next generation,
and it took that time before they learned faith in God.
Of like okay, when he says I'm gonna go with you,
we're gonna fight the the large people, that's the politically

(16:21):
correct term from them. We're gonna trust God can give
the lynn to us.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, yeah, yeah, no, it's really it's really beautiful. Where
like the air Sarah's error, well, I think there's two errors,
like trying to make something happen in your own strength, yes,
but also questioning whether or not you actually heard God
correctly when you when you did. And there's there's been

(16:46):
times in my life where a spiritual leader in my
life has tried to come along and tell me you
didn't hear God correctly. And that's been really like that's
shaken me.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
And it's hard.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Because like, is this spiritual leader in my life to
correct me? Or is this this spiritual leader trying to
spiritually bully me and is not in the right Uh?
And I shouldn't listen to somebody who's saying to God
really say, yeah, these these are these are really confusing things. Yeah,
And I think that there's definitely ways where I think

(17:24):
I have heard I heard God say something or caught
a vision for something and it was like an if
if you and the people with you in this situation
will be faithful, this is what I'm going to do.
And then maybe I was faithful and the other person wasn't,
and so the thing that I thought was guaranteed doesn't
happen because I wasn't the only person in the situation.

(17:46):
And then is the is that vision and promise gone
for me? Or does it happen in a different time.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Well, in answer to that, Caleb and Joshua, by their
faith alone, they were ready to go into the promise
se yeah, and the other weren't, and they still had
to wander in the desert for forty years because of
all the stinky poopa poo heads. They got it on
the Promised Land.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, God gave them long enough life. He gave them
strength to not only go into the Promised Land, but
going to the Promised Land as still strong men who
were able to fight battles.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Like I think God added like an extra forty years.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
On their life, right, I mean, yeah, Caleb was like
still beating giants in battle when he came into the Promise.
But they were some of the only they were the
only two that whole generation that we're still alive.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Forty years longer, even though they had the faith because
other people didn't have the faith. So when you don't
have the faith, not only do you screw yourself over,
you screw other people over. And for that you get
to drop it in the wilderness.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
They had to wait forty years longer, but they got
to be the greatest man in the Promise. Yeah, they
got to lead, They got to be the we know
their names now, we know their names. They got really
choice inheritances for their family like that.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
It wasn't wasted. Yeah, Joshua got a book of the
Bible named after him. I'm not sure what Caleb did.
He didn't really get one. You can try to rename Ruth.
It will fill all little awkward work with that. That's
what it is, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised,
but having seen them and greeted them from Afar, and
having acknowledged that they were strangers in exiles on the earth.
Which is interesting thing, because Sarah did receive the thing promised,
which was that she didn't receive Jesus.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yes, like the things promised that, like the things that
we think of in the material world are the small
shadow and God's like wait a second, that I'm talking
about heaven with me, right right? Yeah? Wow.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
For people who speak thus make it clear that they
are seeking a homeland. If they have been thinking of
that land from which they had gone out, they would
have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they
desire a better country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore,
God is not a shame to be called their god,
for he has prepared for them a city. This is
why we are all supposed to be considered sojourners in
the land, because we are all also in the same

(19:59):
way look forward to the heavenly city we're just passing through.
I think this is a good defense of Zionism as well,
that even though you could make every argument in the
book about the imperfection of especially the government, like the
current government of Israel and the people of Israel and

(20:22):
missing the Messiah, like there's religious aspects or secular aspects.
I mean, the vaccine mandates that new who put down
in twenty twenty were was like terrible. So there's any
number of like reasons why you could go, well, this
isn't like why would you as a Christian be so

(20:45):
obsessed with this nation? And it's like because this was
the location of the promise and the promise still stands,
and Hebrews is saying it's still coming, like there's a
way that this is still being fulfilled. It's still coming
to Jesus is still going to stand on the mount
of all like the location matters and so and God's

(21:11):
continuing to defend the land like no matter who tries
to take it. There is something I think righteously spiritually
correct about having this hope for the future of it
is reel because of what God has said He's going to.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Still do there. And also I do find it interesting
that people will argue, well, there's corruption in the Jewish
government and the Israeli government, so they shouldn't have a state,
which I just find interesting logic because then no country
should be a country right, literally, no country right as
a perfect government. I don't know, I'm doing Trump pans
here no country. How's a perfect government? I know we've
got Trump, but like, if that's your metric, we should

(21:52):
just nuclick all the nations.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
But the thing we're hoping for is the work that
God said he's going to do. It doesn't matter how
perfect Israel is as a nation, as a people, like,
it's the thing that we hope for. The reason why
we love the land of Israel and the people of
Israel is because of God and what he has said.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
And I think this is where like Christian nationalism is
really retarded, because they almost seem to have this view
of like we need to make everyone perfect and follow
God enough so then he'll come back. It's like news flash.
The whole point of the Bible is that no one
is faceful, only God is faithful.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
And it seems to be the ideas of Christian nationalism
seem to be trying to trying to create in our
own strength the promised city, instead of realizing that we're
still seeking a homeland. We're strangers and exiles on the earth.
We desire about our country that is the heavenly one.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
We're still trying to make a baby with Hagar.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, and this life like therefore, God is not a
shame to be called their God, for He has prepared
for them a city like Christian nationalism is like trying
to create the city. And Mormonism does this too, trying
to create the city.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
And I do so to suspect God'll be like, you
can have that city, you can't have mine. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Seventeen by Faith. Abraham when he was tested, offered up Isaac,
and he who had received the promises, was in the
act of offering up his only son, which is like
a picture of God offering up his only son, of
whom it was said through Isaac, shall your offspring be named.
He considered that God was able even to raise him
from the dead, which from which figuratively speaking, he did

(23:27):
receive him back. But this is such a picture of
like God offering up his only son and him being
raised from the dead.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
But also in addition, because like Abraham knew if my
son dies, you know those I'm promised descendants, its numerous
dens we see. Likewise, spiritual descendants is numerous sands of
the sea through Jesus.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, the promise had promises, have these
like It's like, not only is the law being fulfilled,
but the promises like that we thought were just these
like oh yeah, he promised Abraham was going to have
a kid. Cool, Like no, he promised that he was
going to have all of these descendants because of Jesus.

(24:09):
Because yes, because of Isaac and because of Jacob, and
because of that line, but because of Jesus who came
to the line. Okay, you already said that, but I
said it differently and more but better.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I was gonna say better. You said better.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
By faith, Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau
by So it's this idea that like it is an
act of faith even that Isaac gave past these blessings
on like there are.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Here.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I'll because this continues the thought by faith. Jacob, when dying,
blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing and worship
over the head of his staff by faith. Joseph at
the end of his life made mention of the exodus
of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones. So
like these these prophetic blessings that were given in faith.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Well, because Joseph is even prophesia the yeah, there need
to be an exodus.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, yeah, he's prophesying returning to the Promised Land and
giving directions to bring his bones to the Promised Land.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Which, like, that's a mummy. Yeah. I wonder if we'll
ever find a mummy in the prophet So the Victorians
went through this period where they ate a bunch of mummies,
so it is kind of possible to eat those.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, but they were eating mummies from Egypt. I don't
know if they.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Would have I don't know if they discriminated. No, they
probably haven't. Foun Joseph. He's probably buried in a Jewish cave. Yeah,
would be interesting if we didn't think they were eating
Jewish bones. First, by faith, Moses when he was born
was hidden for three months by his parents because they
saw that the child was beautiful and they were not
afraid of the king's edict. By faith, Moses when he
was grown up refused to be called the son of

(25:50):
Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people
of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the
treasures of Egypt. He didn't know Christ, but he considered
the reproach of Christ greater wealth and the treasures of Egypt,
for he was looking to the reward by faith. He
left Egypt not being afraid of the anger of the king,
for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. By faith,

(26:12):
he kept the passover and sprinkled the blood so that
the destroyer of the Firstborn might not touch them. So
all of this faith had incredibly far reaching effects, allowing
like choosing to be mistreated rather than.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Because Moses had this choice whether he was going to
identify as a Jew and be mistreated or identify as
an Egyptian and be basically royalty right, and he chose
being a Jew.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Being a Jew is worth dying for what they were.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
The two repetitions here of like not being afraid you
just did the right thing, the right thing, the painful thing,
and not being afraid of what evil men said that
they were going to do what the threat was, what
the discomfort was in this situations.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Like they didn't stop to think, am I like is
this scary? Should I do it? If it's scary or not.
It's like being brave involves acting before you stop being afraid,
Like just acting so quickly that fear doesn't have time
to catch up with you.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah. Another example of this by faith doing a work.
My faith, he kept the passover so that the firstborn
might not touch them. It's God told him keep the
pass like, do the passover so that your firstborns don't die.
And faith is false, is meaningless if that work doesn't

(27:38):
flow out of it. You don't actually believe He's going
to do what he says he's going to do, and
you have to obey in the way that he will do.
To obey, you can't just give lip service to God
by faith that people cross the Red Sea as on
dry land. But the Egyptians, when they attempted to do
the same, were drowned. By faith, the walls of Jericho
fell down. Ah Okay, yes, so it's not all Genesis

(27:58):
we are getting into. Yeah, wow, was that Joshua or Judges?
I think we're gonna like speed, run a whole bunch
of books. But yes, we got Exodus, and then we've
got Joshua, and then we're going to get into judges
in a second. By faith, the people crossed the Red
Sea as on dry lap. The Egyptians, when they attempted
to do to the same, were drowned.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
By faith.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
The walls of Jericho fell down after they had been
encircled for seven days. Now was such a strange command
on God's part of life? Just walk around?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah? By faith?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Rayhab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient,
because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
And what more shall I say? For time would fail
me to tell of Gideon, Barrek, Samson, Jeff of David,
and Samuel, and the prophets who through faith conquered kingdoms,
enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped, the mouths of lions quenched,

(28:49):
the power of fire escaped, the edge of the sword,
were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war,
put foreign armies to flight. Women received back they're dead
by resurrection. Some were tortured, refused to accept release so
that they might rise again to a better life. Others
suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They
were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed

(29:10):
with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep
and ghosts, destitute, afflicted, mistreated, of whom the world was
not worthy, wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in
dens and caves.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Of the earth.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
And all these, though commended through their faith, did not
receive what was promised, since God had provided something better
for us, that apart from us, they should not be
made perfect.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Because if they had received it was promised, we wouldn't
have gotten in on it. But they got They got
a pause put on the promise we'd get grafted in.
And everything closes at the end where everyone gets to
receive this promise. So cool, So I love he res love,
and I'm so tickled that we got to do that
again again, okay. Leviticus Leviticus twenty one, verse one. And

(29:53):
the Lord said to Moses, speak to the priest the
sons of Aaron, and say to them, no one shall
make himself unclean for the dead among his people, except
for his closest relatives, his mother, his father, his son,
his daughter, his brother or his virgin sister who was
near to him, because she has had no husband for her,
he may make himself unclean. So this is just for
the priesthood, that they could only basically sit with a

(30:14):
dead body if it was their closest relatives. And it
sounds like once she's married, she's not really his closest
relative anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
And I think that this is like, because there's no
one else to sit with her, he can sit with her.
He shall not make himself unclean as a husband among
his people, and so profane himself. They shall not make
bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges
of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.
This is kind of a repetition of what we talked

(30:44):
about in chapter nineteen.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Two things. First of all, yes, God recognizes there's importance
to sitting with the dead, so you know that ties
and maybe with the soul slip thing of like are
you are you aware in needing comfort in your like
dead state or like there's anyway. But the other thing
is you shall not make bald patches on their heads
like the tonsure, which is a pagan thing. Mm h.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane
the name of their God. For they offer the Lord's
hood offerings the bread of their God. Therefore they shall
be holy. They shall not marry a prostitute or a
woman who has been defiled. Neither shall they marry a
woman divorced from her husband. For the priests holy to
his God. So there's there's in this chapter, we're seeing
that there's a higher level of rule for the priesthood

(31:32):
than there is for everyone else. Yes, because there's a
higher responsibility and a higher like they're mediating.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
They need to be really really, it's not a part Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, because I mean God told Hoseiah to marry a prostitute,
but he wasn't a priest.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
There's a prophet.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread
of your God. He shall be holy to you, For
I the Lord who says, defy you am holy. And
the daughter of any priest. If she profanes herself by
worring profanes her father, she shall be burned with fire.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Which is different than stony.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, it's I guess a more severe Yeah, more severe death.
The priest who is chief among his brothers, or who
on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who
has been consecrated to wear the garment shall not let
the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes.
He shall not go into any dead bodies, nor make
himself unclean. So the chief priest can't be around any

(32:31):
dead body. So he's even a higher level of standard.
And this clarifies even for his father, for his mother,
even the closest. He shall not go out of the
sanctuary lest he profane the sanctuary of his God, for
the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is
on him.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I am the Lord. There's an extent to which like,
if you like are that close to God, your entire
life is given over too.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, you have an incredibly high responsibility, and so you
have an incredibly high standard. And this this repeats itself.
The standards shift, but it repeats itself with the rules
for pastors that they are held to a higher standard
than the rest of the congregation. But it's a bit
different because they're not mediating between God and man. So

(33:12):
the standards is more do you have your house in order,
as opposed to are you this perfectly clean? Following all
these cleanliness rules person.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Okay, let's see. Let's see.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
And he shall take a wife in her virginity, a widow,
or a divorced woman, or a woman who has been defiled,
or a prostitute. These he shall not marry. But he
shall take as his wife a virgin of his own people,
that he may not profane his offspring among his people.
For I and the Lord who sanctifies him, and the
Lord spoke to Moses saying, speak to Aaron, saying, none
of your offspring, throughout their generations, who has a blemish,

(33:45):
may approach to offer the bride of his God. For
no one who has a blemish shall draw near a
man blind or lame, or one who has a mutilated face,
or a limb too long, or a man who has
an injured foot, or an injured hand, or a hunchback,
or a dwarf, or a man with a defect in
his sight, or itching disease, or scabs or crushed testicles.
No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who
has a blummish shall come near to the to offer

(34:06):
the Lord's food offerings. Since he has a blemish, he
shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
He may eat the bread of his God, both of
the most holy and of the holy things, but he
shall not go through the veil or approach the altar,
because he has a blumish that he may not profane
my sanctuaries for I and the Lord who sanctifies them.
So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and
to all the people of Israel. And this isn't because
God hates these people, or that he's ablest, or whatever

(34:30):
you want to say. But I think that's such a
kind of a dumb idea anyway. But the metaphor of
perfection was so important to maintain for the moral understanding.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I think that like because these imperfections are a
result of the fall, they are like a direct effective sin,
not because the persons in or their parents say necessarily.
I did want to just go back the verse where
he said he shall not marry a he has to
mary a virgin on a divorced woman or a defiled woman.
I wanted to look up to file to see is
this a woman who's just slept around or is it

(35:05):
someone who's been raped? And the word used means slain, pierced, wounded, dead,
So I'm guessing yeah. Yeah, but that's an interesting choice
of words because that's really strong wording and like a
lot of people undermine that, but God doesn't. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
And the Lord spoke to for chapter twenty two, verse one,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak to Aaron
and his sons, so that they abstain from the holy
things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me,
so that they do not profane my holy name.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I am the Lord.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Say to them, if any one of all your offspring
throughout your generations approach the holy things that the people
of Israel dedicate to the Lord while he has an uncleanness,
that person shall be cut off from my presence.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
I am the Lord. None of the offspring of Aaron
who has a leper like. I think the parallel there,
Like the point you made there is if I were
as I am, if I were not saved, if I
walked into the throne room of God, I would just
get obliterated. There isn't any way that you approach God
without being saved.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, if anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations
approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicated
to the Lord. While he has an uncleanness, that person
shall be cut off from My presence.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
I am the Lord.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous
disease or discharge me eat of the holy things until
he is clean. You have to be clean to enter
the presence of God. That's the thing he's teaching the people.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
And the next thing we learn is we can't make
ourselves clean.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Right right, only Jesus again, Yeah, whoever touches anything that
is unclean. So again, this is like faith in something
where they didn't receive the promise. Yeah, but they acted
in faith to obey this law.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Also connected, Sorry, whoever touches anything that is unclean through
contact with the dead pausing right there, When we die,
we become unclean in death, and it is only through
Christ and the Resurrection that we were made clean. Just
the physical aspect of death, Yeah, would make as unclean. Interesting,
even if I lived a perfect holy life and then

(36:58):
I died, that death would just called from being ax.
That's fascinating because I'd be unclean because you're kind of
touching a dead body.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
If you're at least at least under the old law yeah,
that you died in your sins like that's that's that's
the metaphor, you died in your sins.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Like these blemishes. You're not allowed to enter God's presence
with these blumishes. The bloomishes are a result of sin. Death
is a result of sin. Death happens to you as
a result of sin, and so you can't Yeah wow, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead,
or a man who has had an omission of semen,
or whoever touches a swarming thing by which he may
be made unclean, or a person from whom he may
take uncleanness, whatever his uncleanness may be, the person who
touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening,
and shall not eat of the holy things unless he
has bathed his body in water.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Sorry, real quickcase, I'm still beating the dead horse. This
might be another argument for until the resurrection happens, and
we're giving glorified bodies as not being able to be
in the presence of God. Yeah, I don't know, I
think I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Anyway, when the sun goes down, he shall be clean,
and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because
they are his food. He shall not eat what dies
of itself or is torn by beasts, and still make
himself unclean by it.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I am the Lord.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin
for it and die thereby when they profane it. I
am the Lord who sanctifies them. A lay person shall
not eat of a holy thing. No foreign guest of
the priest or hired workers shall eat of a holy thing.
But if a priest buys a slave as his property
for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone
born in his house may eat of his food. So
this is interesting because the holy food was food for

(38:30):
the priests, and they didn't have another way to get food,
like they only had property through like they were provided
for through the offer. So if they have a slave,
which would be somebody who sold themselves into slavery to
pay their debts. To be clear, if a priest bought
that slave, then he has to feed them of the sacrifices,

(38:51):
because that's what he has to give to his slave.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
You can't.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
So God's making sure that there's not this situation where
the slave goes hungry because there has no food for it.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
But then you do have to be ritually clean or
you don't get to eat this food. Right, So if
you have made yourself unclean, you just don't get deep. Yeah,
I guess, so it's good motivation to Yeah, so you
have to fasten your uncleanness. As this property for money,
the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in
his house may eat of his food. If a priest's
daughter marries a layman, she shall not eat of the

(39:22):
contribution of the holy things, because she would be provided
for by her. But if a priest daughter is widowed
or divorced and has no child and returns to her
father's house as in her youth, she may eat of
her father's food. Yet no life person shall eat of it.
So just making sure that in these edge cases, these
people are provided for. God. It's very thoughtful in these ways.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
And like doesn't he doesn't accidentally leave a loophole in
the law where someone just falls through the cracks and
goes hungry and isn't provided for. And if anyone eats
of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth
of its value to it and give the holy thing
to the priest. They shall not profane the holy things
of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the Lord,
and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt by

(39:59):
eating their holy things, for I am the Lord who
sanctifies them. This this repeated line, I am the Lord
who sanctifizes them. It's like I am giving you clear, explicit,
explicit instructions, and you are going to obey those instructions
because I sanctify you, and I decide how you are sanctified.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, you don't get to make up.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
You don't get to Yeah, you don't get to make
up the rules by which you are right with me.
I make up the rules. I sanctify you. I am
extending this to you, and you need to just obey
in faith. There is no sanctification outside of what is
provided here verse seventeen. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people
of Israel, and say to them, when any one of
the House of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel

(40:40):
presents a burnt offering as his offering for any of
their vows or free will offerings that they offer to
the Lord, if it is to be accepted, for you
it shall be a male without blemish of the bulls
or the sheep or the goats. You shall not offer
anything that has a blemish, for it will not be
accepted for you, acceptable for you, acceptable for you. So
the priests can't enter with a blemish to offer the second,

(41:00):
but the sacrifices can the blooms in them either, because
the sacrifice can't cover your sin if it's not if
it's imperfect.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
I still remember that comic of like the shepherd coming
up to the priest and his sheep is like on
crutches in like really dazed, and the guy's like, what
do you mean you won't take my sacrifice?

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Yeah, Like how do you How do you think that
something that has is laden with a metaphor of sin
can cover your sin for you?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
It's just like, you know, a sinful person like Abby
can't die for my sins because she's a simple person. Jesus,
it's not a simple person. He's a not bloo mush lamb,
and so he can have for my sins and like
you can't.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I think there's a lot of people in Christianity today
where they're like, well, I didn't I give up so
much for you? Didn't I didn't I perform all this Christianity,
didn't I.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Do all this blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
It's like, well, you are not clean, you can't sacrifice
enough for your own salvation.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
I think this is the root of why Catholics. I
know that they say it's because Jesus need to be
born perfect, but I think this is the root of
why Catholics need Mary to be perfect, because they do
trust in her for salvation. Not every Catholic, but there
are there are so many that do. Yeah, and you
can't trust an unperfect person for salvation, so you have
to pretend she's perfect. Yep, yep, and I do.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
It's not a discussion for right now, but I think
that there's some like deeper heart issues of like desperately
needing a female God or desperately wanting a female God
and rejecting the completion of the masculine God's salvation for you,
that there's this we have to have Mary.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Well. I've literally seen people on all the Catholic side
voice that of, like, Christianity's too masculine, that's why God
gave us a mother.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, that's not but it is interesting to see like
all the people who hate women insist on revering Mary. Yeah,
but they need a sexless Mary in order to do
that because they hate women in that weird sexual way.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
They need her to be woman virginal.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah yeah, almost a child anyway, Sorry, that's off, that's off.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
So yeah, nolaish on it. First.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Two animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a
discharge or in itch or s cabs.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So this is so funny to read.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
I'm not trying to laugh at the Bible or not
taking series of but like, in light of what we
know now about Jesus and about sin, it is funny
to look at the old metaphors and go.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
You can't have it at your scabs, but your metaphor
is important. You can't sacrifice your cap that has a
yeast infection sin.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
You shall not offer to the Lord or give them
to the Lord as a food offering on the altar.
You may present the bull or Okay, this is also
interesting too, because like it's not just that you're giving
it to God, it's that it's the food for the
priests as well. And so to like offer a diseased
animal is food for the priest, you.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Be kind of a dick like my cow is Raby's.
You can have that one, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yeah, So there's some multiple levels where God's working here
here twenty three. You may present to bowl or a
lamb that has.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
A part too long or too short. So if if
one of its legs is too long.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Oh, you may present a bull or a land that
has a part too long or too short for a
free will offering, but for a vow offering, it cannot
be accepted. So basically, like it's not that you send,
it's not that you are fulfilling about, but like you
just you're like, man, I just want to give something
to God, and it's allowed to have like.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Because it's not like you're not trying to substitute, Like, oh,
I have to give this one, so I'll give you.
I'll swindle you and give you the bad one. It's
like I want to give you this one. Yeah, it
does happen to be a little walk. God's like, okay,
I'll take your walk. It's really cute. You can have
the weird one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I think maybe I'm taking the metaphor too far on this,
but like if you are just out of the love
in your heart trying to give something to God.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
He's not like, how dare you that time? Good enough? Yeah,
but if you're trying to justify your own sins badness, yeah, exactly,
good news.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
That delights me that God's like, you can give me
your walk here if you really want that one.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I'm not going to despise it. Yeah, you got a
little tired of leveling the table. So now you.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or
torn or cut, you shall not offer to the Lord.
You shall not do it within your land. Neither shall
you offer as the bread of your God any such
animals gotten from a foreigner, since there is a blummish
and then because of their mutilation, they will not be
accepted for you.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I think it's because God wants male offerings and then
a long mail. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
It is interesting that particularly like the sexual nature and
the reproductive nature, God has some like a lot of
really strict rules around sex, and and like the pagan
stuff around them was like super over sex, and.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I would almost kind of wanted this is just completely
split alling, But I wonder if there was a practice
of pagan sacrifices where they did crush the testicles first,
because this is so specific, like how often animals getting
the testicles crushed?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah, I mean I imagine that, like if you had
a male where you're like, it's perfect except that testicles
are crushed, but it is not reproducing, and so I
want to sacrifice this, Like I think that that would
probably be a really heavy temptation of like this animal
is not particularly useful for me. Yeah, but it might

(46:23):
be a variety of reasons here. And the Lord spoke
to Moses saying, when an ox or sheep or goat
is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother,
and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable
as a food offerings of the Lord. But you shall
not kill an ox or a sheep and her young
in one day. And when you sacrifice the sacrifice of
thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall sacrifice it so that
you may be accepted. It shall be eaten on the

(46:44):
same day. You shall leave none of it until morning.
I am the Lord.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
I think that this is an art.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
There may be a pagan practice attached to this, and
I don't know, but I read it as like, just
don't be cruel to animals.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yeah, Like I don't know that's weird. There's like a
certain order of things like don't wipe out a family
in one day sort of thing. Yeah, but the mom
enjoy her baby for a little bit also.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Though, Yeah, I almost read that backwards though, because I
would have said that that you should kill them both
in one day, so that the mom isn't sad or
the baby isn't sad, but it's sane.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Don't feel them in one day. Huh.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Maybe it is something about a pagan practice again, great question,
like you shall not cook a young goat in its
mother's milk.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
That like it seems to be like a perverting yeah,
playing off Yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
And then that the baby has to be a certain
age to be an acceptable age top or two as well.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I think that's to do with the blood because like
circumcision after eight days because in the wood.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yeah, interesting observation, okay, verse thirty one. So you shall
keep my commandments and do them im the Lord, and
you shall not profane my holy name that I may
be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the
Lord who sanctifies you, who brought you out of the
land of Egypt to be your god. I am the Lord.
Like that line is interesting. I rescued you from slavery

(48:13):
to be your God. Yeah, like I adopted you to
be your parent. And that's that idea is repeated of
like God set us free from the slavery to sin
so that we would serve Him, not just so that
we would just like, oh, thank you for taking away
my sin. Bye, Okay, I think we have time for

(48:34):
one most second. Leviticus twenty three, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,
these are the appointed feasts of the Lord, that you
shall proclaim as holy convocations. They are my appointed feast.
If you have somehow missed it, I did an episode
on Jewish feast as Prophecy go pretty heavily into this
passage and other passages that list all the feasts and

(48:54):
talk about kind of the metaphorical significance and the prophetic
significance of these feasts. So rather than getting into it today,
I would just refer you to that, because yes, it
was a good show, Thank you. I was really proud
of what I did there, so probably skimmed through this
because I've already covered it so fully. Sabbath six days

(49:16):
shall work be done. But on the seventh day is
a sabbath of solemn arrest, a holy convocation.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
You shall do no work.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
It is a sabbath to the Lord in all your
dwelling places.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Just note here.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Charlie Kirk was working on a book about the Sabbath,
about observing Shabbat. He's he's he was a Protestant Christian,
but he had found in his life that and he
said this, and this is the reason he wrote the book,
that observing Shabbat, observing the Sabbath made a huge impact
on his life, and he was an incredibly effective person.

(49:49):
So just from a like self help book kind of right,
but I think that he had he had some anyway,
he was working on this. It was supposed to come
out in a couple months. I think it got pushed
back a couple months, but I think December is when
it's now going to supposed to be published. So I'm
really interested in that. I hope you guys check that

(50:09):
out as well. I will probably read it and talk
about it on the show. Yeah, but Sabbath is one
of those things where we don't have to I don't.
I don't think Christians have certainly not to the extent
that the Jews were called to. It looks like it's
coming out December nine. Yeah, But I think that every

(50:30):
time I've heard Christians talk about this, they've been like,
I chose with my freedom to begin observing the Sabbath,
not because I'm afraid that I'm not going to be
acceptable before God because I'm not keeping the law. They're
not trying to go back to the law, but they're
choosing to observe the Sabbath because they believe there was
a God instituted something good and that they wanted to
get that good. And I've heard a lot of Christians say, yeah,

(50:53):
that this is this is a very a good thing
to do, not in a legalistic way. And I think that,
like you can choose whether you do that on Saturday
or Sunday as a Christian or any day of the week.
I think that the idea is just six day shall
work be done, and on the seventh day is a

(51:13):
Sabbath of solemn rest.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Anyway, I'll leave that there.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
It's something that I'm thinking about more of, like do
I want to be more serious and strict about taking
a day and like not posting on social media potentially
or not posting anything political on a day, like maybe
I would post, but it would just be like fun
life stuff that day, or like are there are there
things I want to set up in my own life

(51:38):
to keep the Sabbath in a non legalistic way, but
where I set rules for myself to get these benefits
that got created.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
And one thing that I think is kind of interesting
two things. First of all, I found on the days
where I just literally do nothing but read all day,
it's an amazing day. I do wonder if us Christians
combining our Sabbath day rest with church actually did tracts
from some of the rest. Like you you get fed
at church, but like I have to get up earlier.
It's what I do. I have, I have to go out,

(52:07):
I have to pay attention for several hours, especially if
to do Sunday school. I get home, half the day
is gone. I don't really get a full day of rest,
like it's a good day. But what I've kind of
taken to doing is like there's church I go to
the Sunday. I go to church on Sunday and I
do other stuff on Sunday, and then I have a
different day where I just rest and that seems better. Yeah,

(52:27):
I can see that definitely, because I don't think I
could be wrong. But I don't think on Sabbath, the
original Jewish Sabbath they had like a service they went to. Well,
it's it's just on vacation.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
So I think, yeah, yeah, it says it's true a
holy convocation.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
What does convocation mean? I just want to look at
the exact definition. But I do think it kind of
evolved because yeah, yeah, so they were meeting. Okay, so
don't listen to me, but do listen to me anyway.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
No, I think you make some good points that are
worth thinking about as you're thinking about, like how how
do I apply this best in my own life? And
I'm curious to see what Charlie said about it.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Because like, if I were to do I do Sunday
school in church, if I were to also do like
the Sunday afternoon church, I would barely get any rest
that day. I would feel like I did not rest.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Yeah, these are the appointed feasts of the Lord, the
holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed
for them. In the first month. On the fourteenth day
of the month at twilight is the Lord's Passover, and
on the fifteenth day of the same month as the
feast of unloved and Bread to the Lord. For seven
days you shall eat on love and bread. On the
first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall
do no ordinary work. You shall not do any ordinary work,

(53:35):
but you shall present a food offering to the Lord
for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation,
you shall not do any ordinary work. So Passover and
unlove and bread were fulfilled. In the week of Jesus'
Jesus's death the feast of first Fruits, and the Lord

(53:55):
spoke to Moses, saying, speak to the people of Israel,
and say to them, when you come into the land
that I give you and read it to harvest, you
shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your
harvest to the priest, and he shall wave the sheaf
before the Lord, so that you may be accepted. On
the day after the Sabbath, the priest shall wave it.
And on the day when you wave the sheaf, you
shall offer a male lama year old without blemish, as
a burnt offering to the Lord, and the grain offering
with it shall be two tenths of an efa of

(54:16):
fine flower mixed with oil, a food offering to the
Lord with a pleasing aroma. And the drink offering with
it shall be of wine a fourth of a hen.
So this is kind of this prefiguring of.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Communion.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yes, and you shall eat neither bread nor grain, parched
or fresh until the same day, until you have brought
the offering of your God. It is a statute forever
throughout your generations and all your dwellings. This was fulfilled
with Jesus's resurrection, the first fruits from the dead, and
the first fruits was like this beginning of the growing season,

(54:48):
the first time you get some fruit of your harvest.
It's going to be months before you have a full harvest,
but it's the promise of what's coming. And Jesus was
the first fruits of promise of the resurrection that's coming.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
The feast of weeks.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
You shall count seven full weeks from the day after
the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf
of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to
the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present
a grain offering of new grain to the Lord. You
shall bring from your dwelling places, two loaves of bread
to be waved, made of two tents of an epha.
They shall be a fine flower, and they shall be
baked with loven its first fruits to the Lord. And
you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year

(55:21):
old without blemish, and one bull from the herd, and
two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the Lord,
with their grain offering and their drink offering, a food
offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. And you
shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and
two mail lambs a year old, as a sacrifice of
peace offerings. And the priest shall wave them with the
bread of the first fruits as a wave offering before
the Lord. With the two lambs. They shall be holy
to the Lord for the priest, and you shall make
a proclamation. On the same day you shall hold a

(55:43):
holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It
is a statute forever and all your dwelling places throughout
your generations. This line is going to continue to be repeated,
and this is where I've made the argument that the
Jewish people are supposed to continue keeping these feasts in perpetuity,
no matter where they live throughout their generations, statute forever.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
These aren't these were.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
God is fulfilled some of these, but they're not supposed
to stop celebrating them just because they're fulfilled, because it's
like the firstborn, like the chosen people, are still serving
a role of doing this constant remind or this constant symbolism.
And when you reap the harvest of your land, you
shall not reap your field right up to its edge,
nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You

(56:28):
shall leave them for the porn for the sojourner. I'm
the Lord your God. That's a repetition of rural given earlier,
but he's reminding them in the context of like, as
you're celebrating these things around your harvest, remember this the
feast of weeks. You shall count fifty days. This is Pentecost.

(56:50):
This is an on day of Pentecost. This feast was
fulfilled with the Holy Spirit coming and making Jewish Christians
and Gentile Christians one church. And so you have like
these these two anyway, I go a lot more deep
in the other. I'm not gonna have Okay, the feast
of trumpets and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak

(57:10):
to the people of Israel, saying, in the seventh month,
on the first day of the month, you shall observe
a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with the
blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do
any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering
to the Lord. The trumpet the fesa trumpets is the
calling in of the people to Israel for the last
set of a feasts of the year of their year.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
And these have not been fulfilled yet. So trumpets the
day of atonement.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, now on the
tenth day of the seventh month is the day of atonement.
It shall be for you a time of holy convocation,
and you shall afflict yourselves, which is fasting, and present
a food offering to the Lord. And you shall not
do any work on that very day, for it is
a day of atonement to make atonement for you before
the Lord your God. For whoever is not afflicted on
that very day shall be cut off from his people.
And whoever does any work on that very day, that

(57:59):
person I will destroy from among his people. You shall
not do any work. It is a statue forever throughout
your generations and all your dwelling places. It shall be
to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall
afflict yourselves on the ninth day of the month, beginning
and evening from evening to evening. Shall you keep your sabbath?
I think something that we do not understand is that
trumpet hasn't been fulfilled, and the day of Atonement hasn't
been fulfilled. Passover is the feast that Jesus fulfilled with

(58:22):
his sacrifice. And while the day of Atonement has some
is still connected with Jesus, it hasn't been fulfilled yet
because the day of a Toment is the day that
Israel is atoned for by Jesus. Yes, but that's the
day that they are going to look on the one
that they pierced and mourn that they missed him the
first time, but they're they're going to get him the

(58:43):
second time.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
And this also as an argument for dispensationalism.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Yes, the feast of booths and the Lord spoke to
Moses saying, speak to the people of Israel, saying on
the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and for seven
days is the feast of booths to the Lord.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
On the first day it shall be a holy convocation.
You shall not do.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Any ordinary work. For seven days you shall present food
offerings to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall
hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to
the Lord. It is a solemn assembly. You shall not
do any ordinary work. These are the appointed feast of
the Lord, which you shall proclaim as times of holy convocation,
for presenting to the Lord food offerings, burnt offerings and
green offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its property.

(59:20):
By the way, this feast goose is just wrapped up
last week. Oh okay, which is why bench pair was
in it Israel because he was there for this holiday season.
Burnt offerings and green sacris the hostages were released. Yeah yeah, yeah,
travel and it's it's a feast of celebration, uh, the

(59:43):
feast of booses, burnt off drink overs each on his property.
Besides the Lord's sabbaths, and besides your gifts, and besides
all your vow offerings, and besides all your free will
offerings which you give to the Lord. On the fifteenth
day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in
the produce of the land. You shall celebrate the feast
of the Lord seven days. On the first day shall
be a solemn rest, and on the eighth they shall
shall be a solemn rest. And you shall take on

(01:00:05):
the first day of the fruit of splendid trees, branches
of palm trees, and boughs of leafy trees, and willows
of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord
your God seven days. You shall celebrate it as a
feast to the Lord for seven days in the year.
It is a statue forever throughout your generations. You shall
celebrate it. In the seventh month, you shall dwell in
booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths,

(01:00:26):
that your generations may know that I made the people
of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord, your God.
Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed
feasts of the Lord.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
And I've seen people argue, like, why do we have
to do these if it was like our ancestors, And
it's like, because it's also you, like you are. The
past is being made present in you as you do
these things.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, yes, no, yes, yeah, we are at time and okay, okay,
so what we actually I'm so pleased. We made quite
a bit of ground. We we did all the way through.
I'm going to write this down. Computers being weird, mom
is being weird, just a little bit of glitching glitching

(01:01:08):
out in the computer. But we made it through. We
made it through twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
So we start twenty four.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
And yeah, so we have two more chapters of Hebrews
and four six four more chapters, so one two ratio. Yeah,
so yeah, okay, so if we can, we should. Ideally
we will have two more parts. I'm writing this down,
two more parts of the studies. We'll have a twelve
part study and in the next two parts we will

(01:01:38):
do one chapter of Hebrews and two of Levitic Kuss.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
That's the plan.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
If we end up having a weird thing where two
entire shows on one passage, yeah, which then we might
end up having a thirteenth or fourteenth part. But the
plan right now is two more parts with a one
to two ratio, which is really neat and tidy, and
I'm pleased with that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
All right, Dale, Thank you so much for this day.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
I thank you. This was this was a real blessing
to me. I hope it was blessing. To listen to
everyone who's listening to this later on, probably in two
weeks when they hear it. But I pray that you would,
you would bless all the hearers, separate out any error
that we may have stumbled into along the way. I'm
press on. I pray that the Holy Spirit would teach
where we have just commented, and that all of this

(01:02:29):
would be applied into the listener's hearts by your spirit.
And yeah, just bless everybody who heard your name.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Amen. I kind of ran out of words there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Good night, everybody, love you, Bye.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Together, big bomb together, Big

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Bo
