Easter 2023 -Part 4
Of course.
The Grinch. Nicole rich or the rapping in our vernacular, we might call that the sandwich since we care more about the Earl of Sandwich and his little less solution to not getting peanut butter and jelly on the gambling cards, while he was eating snacks and gambling. At the same time. At least that's how the story goes. So we call him sandwiches. And now we have wraps, which are basically the same thing. So, that's just tossed back to you earlier versions and are vegan ization, of The world are hippie izing, going back to different forms less weight. What is, what is the correct way to say it? It is not a white patriarchal version of the food.
So the crutch is the making of the sandwich with a horseradish and an apple nut mixture in. These elements are put together and then the
The bread is taken and dip in it. And in the King James, if you have that, you'll notice that uses the term slop. So it says he took the soft and dipped it and that's talking about this, basically, it's a matzo bread because there's no love in any of the breads, but it's a matzo that is being dipped into this horseradish type of mixture as well. We're going to pick her up just for contacts and John Chapter 13 starting in verse 21. When Jesus had said these things he was troubled in spirit and testified and said most assuredly I say to you. One of you will betray me. Know what was going on? Why? Why is why is he saying this? What was he troubled about?
Movies. The apostles and disciples have been having some discussion.
And he's already explained to him that there was going to be a Defector and then he went through and washed everyone's feet after he watched everyone's speed, which was not a major emphasis on servanthood. It was a major emphasis on the fellowship that is needed with Christ. So that is the main takeaway. The washing, the feed is to show even as he interacted with Peter and he says, this type of Washington to use two words. They're so wash in a feet and it says, I must wash you and use the one term and the Peter came back uses will Lord if you're going to wash me. Wash me, but he used two different term luo which means to take a bath, a complete cleansing and Lord says, you don't have need of a complete cleansing. You said all of you have been completely questions except for one of you so that we have a couple of ways to interpret this, but the standard view is, that means the Judas is not a believer in the Judas is not saved and therefore, he is not completely Quinn's. Whether that bears out will pull into a discussion at a further time, I think that's it. Fairly safe assumption, but there's more to the eye than might be seen from the English text. And so we might need to work and wiggle a little bit to understand what was happening with Judas. See, this was a Old Testament if we want to call the dispensation this, prior to the New Testament, dispensation Believers are not sealed with the Holy Spirit. At this point, Believers are not filled with the Holy Spirit at this point, or in the case of church age, Believers filled with the father filled with the sun and filled with the spirit, we have God, the Father residing in this God, the son residing in us and God, the spirit residing in this. But this is prior to that. This is prior to, this was prior to the resurrection of Christ, this is Friar to Christ breathing on them, and same receive the holy spirit. So it's prior to all these thing. To make sure that we aren't klausing and blending the distinctions or making sure that the distinctions are preserved as we're looking at what's going on. So we're not going to do that. I just want to bring that up and let you know who we have to be precise and we'll find a time for that on that subject, the Judas subject. But we can say with absolute certainty. Is he was a betrayer and he took that spirit that teaching that inclination, that which describes Lucifer or Satan, which is, he is a Deceiver, And a betrayer.
And that's exactly what. Judas is doing at this point, he is betraying and he is deceiving.
Life is not being to see you, but all the other Apostles are the Christ is being betrayed now. Let me keep on with the reading and I'll come back to this most assuredly, so, okay, so he was troubled in spirit and testify. So now you know why he's trouble? Because there is one who's going to betray him one, who is not receiving Fellowship, even though he was washing his feet because most assuredly, I saved you, one of you will betray me now, he's putting that which bothers him on the table. In front of them, hearing verse 21 verse 22. Then the disciples looked at one another perplexed about whom he spoke.
John, I knew it was you.
Where's 23 now, there were leaning on Jesus busam. One of his disciples whom Jesus loved When you get to write your own golf ball, what a wonderful way to be able to portray. Listen to Rios instead of saying. And I was leaving on his, he's putting it into a narrative form. But he's reflecting the personal relationship in the fellowship that he had with the Lord Jesus Christ and his. So he said, leaning on Jesus, was one of his disciples who Jesus what we've gotten ourselves to the correct which is the dipping of the Saw Shop for the taking of the bread and dipping it in, passing it out. But one of the things that has happened at this point is everyone per the prescription of the seder meal. Everyone is to recline that is it's indicative of the fact that they are no longer slaves in Egypt. You see, they're going through this ceremony right before they leave. This is the Passover. They putting the blood on the lentils. On the doorway, they sacrifice the lamp. They have this supper with all these elements and things that are baked into it, if you will. And in this case, one of the elementary is that this point there was supposed to recline and they recline over on their side, like royalty. Does those people who are not slaves or servants, and what are they about to do? The about to eat, you see slaves in Egypt and typically throughout history, do not get to eat in a reclining position, that is for the best for the rich, for the royalty, for those who have the opportunity to eat and then they recline as they eat. This is a Display to the Jews that they are no longer slaves. Even though they are slaves taking this meal, but it's the last meal that they will take us slaves because the Lord has stayed, and I have liberated you through this process, especially through the replacement work of the Lord, Jesus Christ, on your behalf, understanding the picture of the Pascal. And you understand, and you're being delivered from slave Hood to sin and death and as a nation of Israel to Egypt and I'm going to deliver you out of that. That's what this whole satyrs about. We have two things going on, we have the picture of the Deliverance of Israel, and we have the picture of the Deliverance, of all of humanity, by the work of the Lord. Jesus Christ. Both both are being seeing there. And anyone who is saying, only one of those is there is B. Disingenuous with the text, the Calvinists like to go back. Many of the reformed thinkers like to say, well I were supposed to interpret all of the Old Testament in view of the New Testament and since they got rid of all of the Jewish influence about a d130 came easier and easy for them to teach through the Old Testament and saying, there's nothing about Israel's, Deliverance are, it's all about the Deliverance of humanity, you're putting too much into it. Well, they're taking too much out of it. There really is a Deliverance of Israel that is happening. What is being spoken up? Directly commented on. And so, we see that
So they are reclining to show at this point at this stage, but they are free. They are freedom. And we're celebrating and eating. And so that's why I don't because you eat with your right hand typically the majority, the vast majority of people are right-handed. So as to not impair the eating it gets awkward, if you're leaving on your right arm and then you're trying to eat and reach up on the put you on your elbow, it doesn't work as good. As if you're on your left side, you able to reach and fully extend with your right arm, grab the food and so forth. So that's why we have John leaning on the left side of Christ, which means, so if he is leaning on the left side of Christ, here's an interesting thought. That means that price.
we think this through, Upside down and backwards. Okay? Anyways, long long and short of it is he's right next to Christ. So he has immediate access to Christ and then there's another point will bring up which old leave off for the moments over 24, Simon Peter, there for motion to him. It was because he was right next to Jesus Christ. He had his ear, who is right there, leaning on him, and if you do nothing, just turns
What's a secret? What's going on? First 25 and then leaning back on Jesus breast, he said to him, Lord who is this. So you get the picture, he's leaning on Christ, Peter says he pee.
Okay. How many leaves back on the Lord? So that's what we just had depicted there. Okay, first, 26. Jesus answered it. Is he he's answering it. Is he to whom? I should give a piece of bread when I dipped it or if you have the King James version, it'll say he to who I will dip and give the sock. Stock. So what if your King James even then he's getting it's all getting soft. It's a soppy story. If you get there. Holding this reference, I shall give a piece of bread. When I have dipped it and having dipped the bread he gave it to Judas. Iscariot the son of Simon What are you talkin about? Judas is considered kind of the best of the best of all of the disciples. Gave it to Judas. Iscariot the son of Simon Builders to giudices and that's why we have a reference here by the way.
Judas. I've written a paper on this in dealing with the whole issue of what's going on with Judas and who he is, and what is he, in his, he saved, and isn't he saved it? Could he be your kidney be in people tend to have visceral reactions. Got emotional. So he is obviously evil and bad.
But it's interesting that his name in the Hebrew is actually Udi. And that is the name of the leading tribe of all Israel and they aren't you demons. Now we translated from the Hebrew to the Greek and then we latinize it and then we pull it in the English and so we kind of lose it along the way, but it is the same Judah. In Judah, is the tribal blessing. We have the tribe. That was the one that hung into the end. There's a tribe of Judah. And so we have the split tribe. We have Judith below, and then we have Manasseh and the other tribes up above is one of the ways that they're described. So, is actually one of the most respected. The fact we could say, unreservedly the most respected name out there, but we heard you'd us, we go evil back stabber, horrible person, and we take all the slots and associations and we put it on them. The apostles didn't have any of this. They were not carrying any of these presuppositions and these ways of describing characteristics that are associated with the name that we have today, that wasn't a play first $27 after the piece of bread. Satan entered him in. Jesus said to him, what you do do quickly. Now there's actually room in the English. Some translations. It says Satan entered him what we can say Satan actually.
Me and the deceiver deception The Wire. So the betrayer Satan is the betrayer and this betraying mentality absolutely entered into to do that's mine and Jesus said to him looking at him what you do do quickly. Now what I want you to see here
is that we have a little bit of
Let's call it a shoe. A Jesus Jiu-Jitsu that just happened. We have an outright, martial arts performance. It just happened right here in our face. You see as we studied before and we mentioned it as we were going through the passages previously. The priesthood already said, and decided we are not going to have this happen on the Passover. It cannot But you see the only way they're going to make this happen because they have one connection. One guy who betray Jesus. Who knows what he looks like? Who has access to him and get them? They don't even know what he looks like. They don't, they don't say go look for the best. Looking guy out there, you know what, the blonde, hair in the blue eyes, and the California waving his teeth Sparkle, when he smiles. Cuz he's not like that. We read in Isaiah's we did last week that you can't tell him from any other man. There's nothing calmly or that which would a tractor to him to make you thank you as more beautiful more good-looking than anyone else. So they couldn't find him, they couldn't. They didn't know how to describe him. He didn't stand out. He didn't wear a flashy robes or anything like that, you know, if it was the way most of the paintings from the Renaissance. Look if they all just walk in and find the one with the halo over his head.
shining Halo that's in go for the guy with the Halo, but That won't work either. So they have to be able to utilize this Jesus, or this Judas to get the Jesus, but see what just happened. Jesus said to him. What you need to do, go do it. And we have the proverbial. Grabbing the rug and pointed out. Everyone is standing on that rug because suddenly they don't have any choice. You just gets up and he leaves unexpectedly. He wasn't planning on leaving. He was planning on staying for the Seder, fate beast, but the Lord. Let him know that he knew that he was the betrayer and they told him what you're going to do. Do it now and for it to work, Judas had to leave quickly. And before this seder meeting was done, he had to get to the Jewish priests and leaders and get that connection. So they could come and arrest Jesus. Otherwise he's gone and he's out of there cuz he's just there for the Seder feast and then the progression out of town and then he leaves. And that's what happened. The Seder, Feast progression out of town and then they capture him on his way out of town. So it's very important. This was not the plan of the priests. I think that's worth noting. We just had that little that little change right there. A little Judo flip a little Perry thrust got you and now you have to start doing what you're planning on doing. Not in the time that you were planning on doing it at all costs. We are not going to do it during the Seder. During the Passover, we read that in multiple passages about the preparation that they were preparing to betray him, but they were not going to do it during the Passover. So I'm not going to belabor that point because we've already reviewed it. Birth 26 or 28, but no one at the table. New for what reason he let us try said this to him first 29 for some flat because Judas had the money box. See, he's the good guy. He's the most trustworthy individual that could be watching out for the money and taking care of everyone's knees. He's the delegated individual who we can do, we can trust, you know, we can trust him. Jesus had said to him, by those things we need for the feast or that he should give something to the poor. You see one of the things that happened during the Passover, is it arms or giving people do when they get arms, they get that money. The coinage and they are to take it out to those people who are poor, that's part of What's Done during the Passover.
Brewers 30. I've been received the piece of bread. He that's Judas, then went out immediately and it was night.
That's interesting. That John thinks it's important to comment here that it was night because the Passover doesn't start until Sunset. The next day they do all the preparation they have the day of preparation, or prepping everything. They're getting the lamb cooked and so forth. Emil all set the table set, all the work is done, you can work on the Passover. Who have everything prepped and ready to go. So that means that when they sit down, it's because three stars of come out. We've already flipped from daylight to Sunset and tonight recognizable and it is the legal next to him and then they start the Passover meal. So he is just emphasizing a point here that this is night time and he's going out to start doing the work that he was bidden to do by the chief priests verse 26. Jesus answered it. Is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it and having dip the bread, he gave it to Judas. Iscariot the Son of Sardar. I jump, I'm going back. So that was the end of that section there.
No, a couple points here. You should Jesus uses this ceremony to again, identify his betrayer for a second time or narrative actually moves from the end of a prior step of the ceremony. Where are psaki, guess all leaning to their left. And while this leading position Christ discloses, the Betrayal amount is this, someone will betray him. Peter asked John who was leaning on just you, that Jesus asked, who it might be for the second time. He did not name a name, but gave the dude that we read in verse 26. This is why I have a 26 year. Jesus call Wayne off to their left, which means that John is leaning on his left. So he is on the right side of Christ. So he is to the right of Christ dipping the bread. Or if you have the King James Bible to dip, the stop was to take that piece of matzo. Dip it in the horseradish mixture which is intended to bring tears to the eyes. You guys have any sushi lovers hear you get your sushi and you get a little bit of that green Wasabi and what's the point of the Wasabi claims was your pallet? And it gets everything ready for this beautiful little mommy taste it's coming but part of the effects of that is in the cleansing. It cleanses everything, including your eyes and you might cry a little bit. Some people don't feel good unless they had a good cry with her sushi. Personally, I like to be blubbering all over the place. I can take it hot and I'll leave it by The Spook mom will not fight, but I'll take more than your average, Joe. So they are to be doing that dipping it and crying, which is evoking, the tears of bitterness shed by the Jews while they were in Egypt. When the one who dips is the one who officiates Jesus. You should Jesus, is the one who's taking the bread and he's dipping it. and he will be dipping this 13 times for himself and each of the 12 So again, Christ, dip and gave the bread. Judas Iscariot who immediately got up and left the feast just as the horse radishes bitter. So too is the Betrayal of Judas, interesting. Jesus forces. The Betrayal of Judas at this point before sce's. The Betrayal by unveiling to Judas that he knows who he is and he knows what he's going to do and he says, what you're going to do, get on with it. And it comes at exactly this point of remembering the bitterness that the Israelites were to be remembering of Egypt, the bitterness of what it means to be. In the midst of sin, in the Captivity of sin and death is so Jesus Christ, even though he was, never captive to sin and death lived in the midst of the Captivity of sin and death with us. And even asked, use evoking, those remembrances of what happened in Egypt as the people are, remembering with tears, that which they are about to be relieved from any future years, would remember with tears that which was there been delivered from and then many, many years later would be remembering with tears that which they should at least have an inkling of what their forefathers went through with in Jesus Christ was going through it right then Tears in his eyes.
Cuz he's dealing with the bitterness of the Betrayal of Judas. I think that's worth noting.
So again, Christ dipped gave the bread of Judas. He got up and he left to go and betray according to page local page is, but another doctor Page at the Illusions. Coloring his book Jesus in the land, made a couple of comments here. He said the offering of the shop is an ancient Middle Eastern custom a gift of hospitality offered to a visitor who is considered to be the guest of honor. The soft is offered when the host takes the bread, breaks it from dips, it in a solid or a soft like hummus and then offers it to one of the guests. The first recipient of the saw is always the guest of honor. Did you catch you? The first? Recipient was it was Judas. So John indicates that Judas is the recipient of the swap. The mess is seeded in position 3. So it's Judas, John and Jesus right there. So I buy saw it in that position of Honor. Is a Judas? No, John wants to underscore as ironic as it might seem that Judas is the guest of honor at the Last Supper.
The irony.
Is immense. And yet, in a sense. What was this last supper all about?
Preparation for the real thing.
True. But I don't think that's the point here. Love. It's the, it's the point of he is the central figure in the Betrayal, which is how the crucifixion is going to happen. So, but he's also the guest of honor because he's the most respected of all the, all the apostles at the time, the most respected is the one who will betray in this case. Trying to move on to the third cup. Point seven, the third cup, the 7th element mentioned in the gospel. Here is the third cup following the dipping of the saw The Seder, just enjoy the main course, which consists of roasted lamb unleavened bread and bitter herbs. I'm in the second part of the, the afikomen ceremony occur with the unwrapping breaking, and distribution of the Hidden matzah followed by the third of the four cups of wine called the cup of the Redemption 2, right in the midst of the meal here at this point. At this reference does not all 15 of the points are being listed. But this point seven which is about the third cup is in Judaism.
I don't know if I mentioned it. So, the third of the four cups of wine is called the cup of the Redemption that is the title of this third cup. The cup of redemption in Judaism is carp, a Redemption symbolizes, the blood of the Lamb, that saved the Jewish firstborns from the last plague in Egypt and Joshua, identifies his blood with this cup. Luke made that clear. And we'll look that a moment here in 22:20. But what we have is in association with the third cup, And the blood of the Paschal Lamb, that's why the rabbis say that the wine to be wine must always be red. No, white wine is allowed because that does not depict depicting the redness of of blood. And we have the depiction of redness, because that's what happens when oxygen hits are iron-rich blood. When it comes out into the Open men, it becomes red. But if you noticed, it looks a different color. Underneath your skin before the oxygen hits it when it comes out and opened, its red switch shed blood then it's a depiction of shed blood about blood in the animal. Not the blood that needs to be shed. It's a depiction of the shed blood that which is the color of blood after it comes out of the animal. Luke 22:24 saying this cup is the New Covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
The first two cops. Are drunk before dinner. So we have drinking of cup, one drinking cup to. Then we have dinner while we're in the midst of dinner. Then we have the third cup, the cup of redemption Miss Khan's or I should say at the end after we've eaten but Pascal M at the end of it, then we have the third cup that comes after the meal and this cup is What he says is the New Covenant in my blood that which is poured out for you. So Matthew stated also for this is my blood In Matthew 26 verse 28. This is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins. So this is the finished deal. This is the post atonement shedding or provision that Jesus Christ. Has me is referring to the work that has been done. The Judgment has been taken within that has been poured out and the shedding of life that is part of that process. So this third cut, which reminds the Seder guests of the shed blood of the innocent lamb, the brought physical Redemption from Egypt is now becoming famous Passover supper, as explained by Christ, the symbol of the blood of the Lamb of God. You see in the Passover in the Seder. The third cut is the symbol of the land. The actual lamb itself of the Passover. Which is a picture of Christ, but now we're finding that this cup is the symbol of the blood of the Lamb of God. It's not the blood of the symbol. It's the blood of he who actually accomplish the work. So now it's a picture of the accomplished work done by Christ. The blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. So the new covered it Wallowing doubtedly a major theme in the New Testament. For example, as we read through Hebrews chapter, 8 through 10, we have mention after mention of this New Covenant, which is better than the old Covenant. Everything in Hebrews is talking about what Christ has provided is better and one of the things he is provided will he is better, everything he does has better, his work is leading his Provisions. His place as the ultimate point of all creation, am also of he who shed his blood from and fine. And every way he was better than what went before, he is of a higher priesthood and we've learned that his Covenant. Who's actually a higher Covenant than the other covenants, the old Covenant, the abramo Covenant. The Mosaic Covenant, the davidic Covenant, the Covenant that Christ has a higher Covenant.
We see this mentioned in Jeremiah 31.
Verses 31 through 34.
behold the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
Not according to the Covenant verse 32 that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them. Out of the land of Egypt, my Covenant, which they broke tho. I was a husband to them, says the Lord. First 33. But this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days. So is the Lord. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. And I will be their God and they shall be, my people never speaking of the New Covenant here and we have an awful. Lot of confusion would have been brought into the church. By those people who are of a disposition that is they believe that there are multiple kingdoms out there. There's a kingdom, is to come. There's a key member that God or Christ is rolling over. Now of which we are members, and we are existing in that Kingdom. And then we have those people who are saying we are taking back this world. As we progressed with the growth of the kingdom of Christianity that we will bring back the Lord Jesus Christ. Do we have the replacement theology individuals and say there is nothing about eschatology. Nothing that has to do with the Lord. Jesus Christ. She's me with Israel being led by Christ here, but it's all about the church. And so we have all these different perspectives against brought in, we need to take care and make sure that we understand the nature of things. The covenants and is to come Is the Covenant that happens verse 33 says, after those days, what is those days? Those days is speaking of that time, that time of conflict that begins with the signing of the treaty with the very beginning of the day of tribulation with day of judgment for the week of Daniel, as we understand that the seven years of tribulation will come in. That is those days that spoken of here by Jeremiah the days are coming. You said back in verse 31, I will make a New Covenant that I haven't made it yet. So that's interesting because the New Covenant doesn't start until the millennial Messianic Kingdom begins at the end of the tribulation after the after Christ returns he is. You guys the key and you'll be as real as their Messiah after they find. Find me repent. After two-thirds of all Jews on the face of the planet are killed in the tribulation, the final one-third believe. And they say, we believe, But you are our Messiah. We understand, we have rejected you in the past. Now we understand that you are, he who have rejected, we personally receive you, they are personally. Individually made regenerate born again. And as a nation that we learned in our study, through his equal, 36 or 38, as a nation, they are resurrected and they are born. They are brought together. I'm going to receive a new heart and a New Soul and that happens at the moment of the tribulation, at the moment of the end of the tribulation, in the beginning of the millennial Kingdom. What am I saying? All this? Because there are those who say, Christianity is about those who get a new heart and a new mind and that is not the Biblical teaching. That is a soft fuzzy uneducated sloppy manner of progressing through the facts and trying to bring in almost a quasi charismatic, if you will a moving and speaking, God gives Impressions on my heart. And so they give themselves a justification for having a subjective relationship to God's teaching and Truth as opposed to an objective relationship. You see the writing on the Soles in the hearts happens? At the Messianic Kingdom at the beginning at the institution of the New Covenant way. David doesn't Jesus say this is my new covenant or yes he does them at New Covenant begin and he says he will not drink up this Blood until when Until I return, he will not drink of the cup, the represents his atoning work, which speaks of the New Covenant, he will not participate again until I returned, which is the second Advent at the end of the tribulation, the beginning of the millennial Kingdom.
He says and I will be their God and they shall be my people. And that is Millennial Messianic Kingdom, speaking verse 34. No more. Every man, his brother saying know, the Lord for they all shall know me from the least of them to the greatest of them. Says the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more. This is speaking about that, which is
You can see them in this part of the replacement, Theology of the reformed movement in the mini mini in instances, very good Scholars, who just made some substantial mistakes, or been influenced by others or having done all the work on their own or haven't worked through everything that needs to be worked through in their biblical. Exposition, sometimes people are taking a system of theology. That is, for example, their tulip view of how it all scripture must conform to that tulip, understanding predestination. Everyone is predestined by God, and then you must prove it by persevering to the end. And if you don't, then you weren't predestined and it just proves that you were you thought you were. So they don't have an actual It's a confusing of everything. The New Testament teaches about righteousness. They take justification. I were just meant to the righteousness of God and sanctification, or adjustment to the power of sin, in our life, and then glorification the adjustment. The we have, as created creation, created Humanity to be true, knowledge of God and his perfect righteousness, and Mabel and all those verses together and mix them up and put them in a blender. So you can't tell one from the other man gets really confusing. So, you have to start distinguishing things along the way. When you do, it starts to make your water since I will forget their iniquity in their sin, I will remember no more. Now like all the other covenants, the New Covenant he was inaugurated with the shedding of blood which we looked at in Luke 22, verse 20, Matthew 26, verse 28.
I think I'm going to stop here. I'm going to come back and repeat this. Bring up a new point on the blood Covenant in the requirements of a blood Covenant. We will connect with so we can further understand what's going on with this third. Any questions at this point before I close?
I, Been anyone's. Popovers, you went topsy-turvy. You guys, okay, I didn't see what fall out of their chairs. Go ahead.
No that's it is the site of the New Covenant it is speaking. Who is speaking of Israel? But it's speaking of what is going to happen in the timeline. So misbehaving bad, bad bad Israel. But you going to be good, good, good Israel at the time of the New Covenant, when it's applied at the Messianic Kingdom, it was a big gap in there. So one could say, yeah it's the same Israel, there is a difference in the timeline that you will be who's talking about how they are, they are misbehaving, but they will be behaving in the millennial Kingdom.
No, I wouldn't take it that way. 40 double check my notes and make sure there's nothing missing but I don't think so. Yeah, if you have anything to the contrary, let me know. Royals closing prayer. Thank you. For this time of study. For the, during the break, we have the opportunity to refresh cool down for ice, water, overheads, whatever takes sugar up and then we can come back.

It's Ralph Allen. Really father we enter into the time of giving. This is a free-will offering word. We are not trying to make ourselves righteousness for a few or put ourselves under the law, but rather Reckoning back to a higher time of milk is a deck in time or when Abraham sacrifice and he gave. And he turned over that, which was his to the king of Peace. We understand our Lord Jesus Christ operates in a higher priesthood. Lord and our desire is to reflect the grace orientation which you have provided for us. You are he who sustains our every need and therefore we understand Lord that everything we have comes from you or goal at this time then is to give an offering or this reflective of your generous Spirit of our hearts ability to respond and the situation. You have placed Us in Lorde. We give with the gift of the life of Joy recognizing this is from the work. You've done, with our deepest understanding, we recognize the Jesus Christ, gave up everything, as of the position of God, and came to be a humble servant in a man, and ultimately the Lamb of God, that paid the price for All Mankind, play some magnificent. Well, to a place of impoverishment Lord, he ended up taking the, the Judgment for all sin. And then can we not only have our sin judge, but by virtue of his place and his righteousness, we find ourselves given righteousness, not or my faith, we believe only find herself changed in the new way. I'm different way we for reflect that Glory more from poverty to riches even, Price went from riches to Poverty. Lord, we reflect that in her heart as we dedicate this time, this offering to you.

Roy, let's reopen in prayer or the only father. Again, we thank you for this time. This opportunity to study your word, we to ask, for the moon, 80 Ministry of your spirit to guide and lead us. Pray. We give us the opportunity to dive deeper and to take a look at some of the doctrine that you've made available to us, that we might find ourselves growing in our relationship with you. We might be usable. Florida made available for all your purposes that we pray in Christ's name. Amen.
when I get back to the right place here,
Why? So, we've been taking a look at the third top and dipping into that a little bit and like,
We we mention that the Christ here has already spoken and said this third cop pictures. It symbolizes the New Covenant, which he has, or will inaugurate.
And it's interesting because as we pointed out, the third cop is a picture of the shed blood of the Paschal Lamb. It is to picture that sacrifice. What does that mean? It is via tuning work of the Paschal Lamb. Now, for Passover, we have two aspects of it that you have to keep in mind. A spec. Number one, we have a supper that has been being eaten in every Jewish persons home, they gather together and they go through this, passage this process. Each of the 16 items that are laid out before, then it may reflect on the meeting and then gauge and remembrance of what God has instructed them to be paying attention to. At the same time, we have the Feast of Passover at the temple itself. We find the Hebrew priests or going through a dedication, a presentation of the Paschal Lamb. Now that is not ultimately going to be seen until we have the day of atonement. Where we have that one, high priest going behind the screen behind the veil, into the holy of holies passed, everything up to the place, where the cherubim have their wings stretched out over the mercy, seat on top of the Ark of the Covenant, in the blood of the one sacrifice lamb, whose sin is to take away and to cover make provision. For all of Israel, is poured out on The Mercy Seat between the wings of the cherubim at that point, at that moment.
In Christ is making reference to that. That cup. Here's what we're talkin about. Each family is showing the Paschal Lamb, the lamb, slain him to provide force in that cop. Which Jesus Christ is the reality that that symbol for tells her points to that cop is what we have in front of them. In terms of the service, this is the cop. It represents the shed, blood work, accomplished of Christ. Now this is indicative, then of a New Covenant and then we just read through Jeremiah 30
1 verses 31 through 34, looking at a description of that new covenant.
I wanted to pick her up with the commentary that I found in from Lock in his notes. He's mentioning but like all other covenants. This new covenant. The Christ is referencing is inaugurated with the shedding of blood. You may not have thought this through, but every single Covenant in scripture is inaugurated with the shedding of blood, there is blood that corresponds to Now that speaks of both the conditional and the unconditional covenants but keep in mind the unconditional covenants are different from the conditional Covenant, we should be aware of. That one has the consequences of both parties. One has the consequences of one party when Adam gives me when Abraham entered into a covenant with Yahweh. He said I'm going to enter into this Covenant with you and then they took in this played out of the animals and they divided them up the shed, the blood, the man, you always put Abraham to sleep and he single-handedly as the Shekinah Glory walkthrough and proceeded through each of those pieces. Now the idea of slaying the animal may need a part, is we slay them and then we will both together walkthrough in a covenant agreement, but if either one of us violates this agreement, then it shall be to us like these slain animals. We are to be slain and subjugated to death destruction and dismemberment as a result of violating this. Very serious contract. But notice what you always did, as he said, that's how coming it's her done, but there is one guarantee for the Miss Covenant, the Covenant of faith. We need a loan walkthrough so you just coming. It depends completely on me. This is a guaranteed Covenant. This is the Covenant guaranteed by God alone. You see even though Abraham has a participant and a recipient is not a guarantor if he failed. The Covenant is not void. Therefore we have a covenant that can never be void because God can never fail. So notice that we have another coven is being spoken of here and it is inaugurated like every Covenant with the shedding of blood but we need to determine is this a conditional or an unconditional Covenant? Let's read our commentary here. How about locks notes up here? I place it up here, you can read along with me if you want to lock. It's the commentary on the new test Testament from page 407, but it's connected with the right of circumcision the Hebrew, Dom Barrett, the blood of the Covenant, which is also connected with the Passover in Exodus 12, 48 note also Moses took the blood and threw it upon the people instead, behold, the blood of the Covenant, which the Lord made with you, in accord, with all these words, we reviewed this previously a few months back and Exodus chapter 24 and an Exodus chapter 12, the expression, my blood of the Covenant, seems to emphasize the difference between the Mosaic Covenant and the Covenant of Jesus.
Now let me be clear. The Passover is actually a compliment that predates. The Mosaic Covenant but the how to carry out the Passover in the instructions. And so forth comes after the giving of the law. So we have something guaranteed before the giving of the law but how to fulfil the rights and passages of that, which is guaranteed is described now. It's quite clear here.
let me pick up where he's give me notice this and saw the expression. My brother, the cabinet seems to emphasize the difference between the Mosaic Covenant, in the Covenant of Jesus. Also significant in the spirit of Matthew's favorite phrase, forgiveness of sin.
My Covenant, which is given for the forgiveness of sin is omitted by Mark is from Leviticus 17, verse 11. For the life of the flesh, is in the blood and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For does the blood that make it the tone by reason of the lie? So many of us over time, I've had to deal with those people who come for me persuasion, and in their persuasion, and Evangelical persuasion. Maybe a little bit less technical a little bit less coming, strictly from the word of God. It's what they've been persuaded. They want you to know it's all about the blood of Christ. And if someone hasn't mentioned or thought about or claim, the blood of Christ, in their confession of Faith, they have not been so, they might tell you. We also might let you know that it's important for us to understand. Let the blood of Christ must be invoked and they stopped. There they go. No further. They talk about the blood. What their picture is the idea is Christ was on a cross, he died. His blood was shed that showed blood is what we are appealing to you, but what they are not catching, is that from the very beginning, scripture set this up as a symbol of the reality, blood is not the issue as we just read here from Leviticus 17:11. The life of the flesh is in the blood You might have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. That is there must be the giving of a life to pay for your wife, for your souls to be I must be the loss of life is, what is being Spoken Here For It? Is the blood that is the giving of life for the purpose of atonement. That maketh atonement by reason of that life. If there is no life given if there is just a puncture in a point of blood, it is not that blood that is efficacious. It is not a literal blood. The blood is a picture of the reality of a full Wautoma because the blood represents death throughout the levitical system. We have the shedding of blood. Every time we had the shedding of blood is the splitting of a throat in a bleeding out of the ox or the sheep or whatever. It might be, that we might have a full representation of the loss of life. What is the key? Uber ride is what we have is we have the third cup. What is a reference to the blood of the Paschal Lamb? The atoning work. The work of payment for all sin of all mankind was accomplished by the Lord. Jesus Christ is represented and so that he says, is what is in this? This Blood inaugurate, a New Covenant. Look at a couple of our parallel pasture pastures where the Sheep are parallel passages. Starting in Matthew 26.
Bernie took the cup and gave. Thanks, and he gave it to them saying drink from it. All of you.
so now when you are drinking or something, that has a symbolic, meaning what is happening, You are accepting the reality of the symbolism. You are stating. I am in agreement with this. What is represented here? If you are not in agreement, you don't drink, you don't fake, you don't drink. Brazilian drink from it, all of you for 28. For this is my blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins. What we find is that we have that which inaugural race, the New Covenant, which is the shedding of the blood which also was shed for the remission of sins.
So we have two things, we learn here, we have a new covenant, that is an operated by the shedding of blood and we have the reality of the remission of sins. Don't make the logical error of saying, those are the same thing. They are not. We have a new covenant which is shed for many and then we have the remission of sins away. This is tied together. I'm not going to get into the Greek and parse it out for you. Right now. There are commentators that are split on it but let's continue in the verse 29 he says, but I say to you the point being I will not drink of this. Fruit of the vine. Has a specific reference to this particular third cup. The fruit of the vine, it must be a red fruit representing. A dime will not drink of this fruit of the vine or this portion of this ceremony from now till the day when I drink it new with you in my father's Kingdom know those from a calvinist persuasion say that means when we get to heaven, we're all going to rejoice and we'll be drinking. What what is talking about? We are not replacement theology. We are not taking the truth about Israel and replacing it with the church. And even though that is not the attention, there's many places where people accidentally because they haven't been taught better do that. And they go in and they say, oh, that's going to happen when we get to heaven, know what's not talking about him, and it's talking about my father's Kingdom on Earth, which is the New Covenant Kingdom, which is the kingdom or the Covenant of Peace Kingdom, which is the Messianic Kingdom the millennial Kingdom the thousand year reign of Christ. After he comes back, take this world sets, it in order deals, with the nation's deals with Israel and inaugurate, a new Sublime Thousand-Year time and era of Peace, which much of the scriptures actually speak to us about You know, if you want to have a really interesting conversation going, talk to the average Christian and ask him what they know about the millennial Kingdom. You might get 56 things and I want to see. Jesus will be there. Apostles are going to be there or will be ruling and reigning with Christ if they're dispensational will be really in a rainy with Christ. Let's see the lay down, your pruning pruning. Things will be turn the Spheres pruning. Hooks at new you know, you know that thing
I don't know. Reference are intended.
Liar Liar.
Yet, there is a great deal. A great, great deal of detail. What about the Earth being recreated in reform? What about the subjugation of, send an expression of the consequences of sin and death here on Earth, what about Will, and Matthew, and change the mountains being brought low? The valley is being with adopt the New Jerusalem being raised. The new Temple, we have places where we have fire ascending through the Thousand Years. The result of the Great War that Christ brings to the end of the tribulation period, as we have places were smoke as a Sunday, including Babylon, that will be there as a record of the consequences of rejecting Christ of rejecting God and yet in a perfect environment ruled over by Christ. We will still have individuals, will choose to reject him into the end of that thousand year. We will have the Leave soon of Satan and his minions old Satan won't be here for a thousand years. No spiritual warfare happening. On planet Earth for a thousand years of the Demonic for fallen angels for anyways. But at the end of that thousand years old, be released, they will join forces with those humans who even in perfect environment will reject Jesus Christ in his work in provision. They will join together and we'll have one last combat and then we'll file have the final judgment and then the new heavens and a new Earth and all that will be Unleashed, which is a further expression of what is only him to that in the millennial Kingdom will see.
Made to come into. Foreplay for the Eternal Kingdom stuff. Mark continues on a parallel. Passages says, it has me worried Ting, Jesus Took bread blessed, and broke, and he gave it to them. And said, take E-ZPass is my body the man, he gave the cop and when you didn't think she gave it to them and they all drink from it first 24. And he said, then this is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many
First 25, assuredly, I say to you. I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day, when I drink, it new in the kingdom of God. So now we have essentially the same thing, stay here and Luke. Finally, we have a reference in 22 verse 20, which we looked at earlier like why is he also took the cup after supper saying this cup is the New Covenant in my blood which is shed for you know, Luke here is the specific one who states that this was the cup after supper, the food truck and it was a symbol of the physical Redemption that came as a result of the shedding of blood of the lamb in Egypt. From the symbol of redemption of Israel from Egypt was to represent the spiritual Redemption through the Messiah, even as Israel as redeemed from Egypt. So too, we have a picture of spiritual Redemption of All Mankind through the Messiah.
so, remember that the key theme of The Feast, His remembrance. Remembrance is the key to understanding, not ritual or not to go through a ritual work to be thinking or way through processing and working on and understanding. You always set this occasion in place before the law to show his Covenant relationship to Abraham Isaac. Jacob and Joseph. And in every case, your way was the sole guarantor of the Covenant. That means it depends 100% on your way and not even a smidgen on Israel.
Let's take a look at our H component.
4/8, components of the
Seder meal here.
We find that we have What's called the whole l. The first day of the whole L just means the the Psalms the singings. The first we're going to look at the setting for the hotel.
Give me a second of that. Shut the door.
Crossing over.
Or the other way around.
But how well this is the. This is the singing.
So now I hope during the Passover seder, the third cup which we just went through initiates a second ceremony at the end of that, there's another ceremony that kicks off, which tends to be less formal and it includes readings and recitations as well as seeing and discussion, but it is part of what they are to do. And so it is called the whole l.
Riddle like that. Luke 22 verse 24 where we have the setting for the lesson of this passage, which was brought abruptly by a dispute among the disciples. Go figure.
Luke 24. Now there was also a dispute among them. Well, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
So we get the picture Jesus Christ blood in the mill. Let's go. Prepare for the Passover. In two days. Hence I am going to be the sacrifice. We do hit two days, hence, I will die and then be raised again. After the third day keeps making statements like this are the Apostle paying attention know all it's suppertime. We got a party. Jesus is hosting a party, okay? But which day, I'm greater than you are Know, You're great and you're trying to figure out who is the greatest. So they have a dispute. Route 25, and he said to them,
By the way, the, the Rivalry between them is ironic in light of the fact that previous in the same evening. Your shoe at taught his disciples, the principle of survey into it and the principle of cleansing as he went through. And washed every one of their feet, which is not the job of the host of the party. It's what those people who prepare and put the party together or their servants, are supposed to do that. There must be a distinction between the world and the body of Believers. The world is one way, but they is Disciples of him or to be another way World exercise is lordship by man-made Authority by position. But for the body of Believers greatness is to be shown by serving. And that your shoe is life. Exemplified this greatness.
So here he is a 25. It says the kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors first 26. But not so among you on the contrary, he who is greatest among you let him be as the younger and he who governs, as he who serves now? Jesus is speaking, what you might in the vernacular in the technical term called gobbledygook That is no one understands a word that he's saying what the greatest the greatest is going to be the younger. Greatest you, the greatest was the one who gets everything, who gets all the rewards when you have your son's, the greatest is the oldest. The oldest was the one who gets the rewards guest of Christine. Guess The Inheritance. Everything else is at the Graeter's discretion as to what the other is inherit. If anything. But they're saying the greatest is to be like the young girl who gets nothing for gets the smallest share. If there is any share whatsoever, but he's saying that the greatest must be like the younger crazy speak. Manny says, he who governs the governor, the person in charge, the person who makes the rules and tells everyone. How am I to jumping on the way up jumping on the way up? How high here? Used to be the servant, the governor is the servant, so he's giving us a distinction about the realm of leadership and what he actually has been exemplifying his entire time with them. He has been their leader, but he has been the Servants of all and he will be the greatest servant of all mankind in his role as the sacrificial lamb for the 47, who is greater Excuse me, for who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves, is it not he who sits at the table yet? I am among you as the one who serves
Is it the head of the table who's the greatest or the one? Who is a servant? And yet, I served you, I'm serving you and yet I'm at the head of the table so he's making a distinction. Doctor admonishing, his disciples with these words and reminding them of the lessons. They had already been taught even that evening. Jesus repeats an earlier, promise ring. This is important. This is part of the context of what's going on in the Seder.
I'm done. 12 Thrones will be set up when the apostles will sit upon those Thrones and rule, the 12 tribes of Israel. For reference Luke. 22 verses 28 through 30. Luke 22. 28 through 30 also. When absolute monarchy will administer the kingdom. And the King will be. Your shoe was the Messiah part of what we've been working through in our studying Ezekiel on Wednesday night. Is this understanding, if the Messiah is the king, then how come King, David? Be the king? until we had to come into contact with the idea that there is the possibility of a subservient king or a secondary King, who has a lesser role who rolls rules in Roxy, for the king, who is in charge in, We we call that concept, plenipotentiary plenipotentiary and I, when it comes to the apostles, we find that they have a delegated power and authority that is theirs, but it's not their Authority that they yield and that they wield. It is actually in Authority, that came from the Lord, Jesus Christ, that's all we're going to find in the millennial Kingdom that we will have King Messiah. Who will have, they delegated King King, David, who will be resurrected and will be ruling in the Messianic Kingdom, but he will not be ruling under his own davidic authority, he will be ruling under the plenipotentiary authority of the Messiah himself, interesting. What other been resting things for us to unravel, which we have been doing then between what's going on with the promises to David versus what we're told is going to happen in the Messianic Kingdom. And so that's part of what we've had to been untying and unraveling to understand it.
so,
his government. What is the messiah's? Government will consist of two branches, one Jewish 1 Gentile, one Jewish and 1 Gentile. Now his government
In fact, we're told that the government will rest upon his shoulders. What is that talking about, if he's the one ruler and he's a ruler over the entire world. Why will there be governments in the Messianic Kingdom resting on his shoulder was going to be divided up into two. We have the Jewish Government. And then we have the Gentile governments.
So the church and tribulation Saints, Wilco rule with you, shua over the Gentile branch of government. We see this and Revelation, 20 Verses 4 through 6, reminder that I'm going to be Earthly Kings and natural bodies and Below them will be the Gentile Nations. So the resurrected Believers, that's you, and me, and those who participated in the church age, we will be resurrected. And then our Resurrection bodies, we will be serving under the Lord. Jesus Christ ruling over the nation's and underneath us, will be Kings and rulers were not in. Resurrection bodies who are incorporeal natural bodies. They still have the capacity to sin. They still can die but they should be living a thousand years. We will be ruling over them as they rule over the nation's. That tells you there's a lot of Gentiles and a lot of Gentile Nations that are going to be pulled. Back from The Fray was going to be a lot going on there. Some people think of all the Millennium thousand years were they going to do it? Just sounds so boring or you start to think about the complexities are being talked about here, is going to be a highly complex society in world with a lot going on this week, a revelation, 20 Verses 4 through 6, then I saw Thrones and they sat on them and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus, and for the word of God would not worship the Beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads, are on their hands, and they live and reign with Christ for a thousand years.
Meryl. I wanted to throw in a slightly different emphasis because I think it's over luck, really? We get there, we're going to be raining with Christ for a thousand years.
Have you thought that we are going to be living with Christ?
For a thousand years.
Who is delegated to go up and do your thing and then whoop. See, there's two views to God in theology, over time. We have God from The View, which is what we hold to be in the way of God for me to see you stick of you. And I'm the theistic system. I'm simplifying this down quite a bit. There's a great deal discussion to goes into it. Lots of back some force over 2000 years. People have argued with them.
But in the theistic view overall, there is a God who creates the universe spins, everything up, gets a going in motion than the steps back and it is a depersonalized view. The theistic view of God. So he's not personally intimately involved in our lives. In that sense, he just got everything in order and everything is taken care of. Let me have the D Ustick view, which is God is actively involved in every single aspect of her life, at every point, at every moment is not spun. Up the universe, he is actively ruling, and raining and involved in the universe and allowing an overriding as things gone to a completely different views. We tend to have a little bit of a theistic view about the millennial Kingdom, what's going to be going on, we're going to be raining with Christ. Well. We are going to be live. They live. In reign with Christ. I just wanted to show you that there is that emphasis here. We will have personal interaction with Lord. Jesus Christ for a thousand years. Thank you John 15 which is coming up actually right after they leave the room here. Jesus is going to be teaching a man for us part of that Upper Room discourse. He's going to be teaching them says. I am the vine. You are. The branches you abide in me and I abide in him. He will bear much fruit. It is talking about Fellowship. It's an issue of Fellowship fellowship with Jesus Christ. Very, very important things. So important that right before his death, Jesus made a huge point of teaching and talking about Fellowship.
Put on your Poker Face. How's your fellowship doing?
Who is fellowship with God?
Some of your going through trials and difficulties in deep things, but you're right, your grounding is in Bible Doctrine, in the person nature of your God. His faithfulness. and you will find fellowship with him in that
it's not about the joy that we have or we don't have any difficulty, it's the joy that we have while we are in difficulty as we perceive and recognize God moving and working in our personal situation, whatever dark difficulty, we may be dealing with him going through at that moment. With Bible Doctrine in our soul recognition to the person and character of God that he is active his real. He is a distant God, he lives with us.
Jesus came to abide with us.
There is a whole different game. Changing reality must be there. That is there because I smoked a couple weeks ago it's not the
Victorious. Christian can have this kind of life. This is the normal called-out described as normal life of every believer. He just simply Walks With God. Diggs in the truth. And as we have spoken it doesn't matter how much Doctrine you have in your soul. If You aren't living the doctor, knew your soul, or rather, I think better quit. If that Doctrine is not functioning in your soul, that has not giving you the reference tools. To know how to think is not taught you about the supernatural devices, the grace Provisions. The problem solving devices that we talked about the grace orientation, the doctrine orientation. The Christ orientation we must have right, perspectives, and right-thinking and Interesting, so we're not just raining with price, but we're living with them. So it begins. Now it happens now, but it will be continued and manifested, I think in a remarkable way. But we may be clueless, just like, we rewrite over this. How many times you read this? Then they live and reign with Christ?
Really, how many of us really thought? Okay, well,
Go right to the rain with rice and Skip right over the living with important. I wanted to Camp there for a moment cuz I thought it was worthy pulled out of the tax / 5. The rest of the Dead did not live again until the thousand years were finish. This is the first resurrection for 6. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection over such the second death has no power, but they shall be Priests of God, and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The first resurrection are those people who are going to be raining with him a thousand years.
Second death has no power over these, who is this? But everyone who is changed in a moment. Those of us who are raptured to be with the Lord and preceded, by those who will be resurrected, you don't have to worry about rushing off to heaven to see your loved one. Your loved one will be yanked out of the ground changed and transformed in a moment that you will meet them in the sky face-to-face with your focus on your lord and savior who is causing everyone to come home to a rejoicing meeting in the sky. The last 7 plus years because we have the time of the Rapture in the time up until if there is any the tribulation begins and that great document is signed between the Antichrist Israel, and all the rest of the world. Might take a day, might take a week. Good. Take 70 years. I doubt it. I don't think so. I think really, we are under the in terms of, is there a possible gap between the Rapture in the tribulation? Of course, for his switch to leave the door open? There's nothing that says, it happens. That one day. One second later that it's all happening that does not line up in scripture. Those who try to make that I think are forcing an objective. What is there a Gap? There's no evidence of that either. But we do know this, but the restraining order will be taken out of this Earth as we are told and second Thessalonians chapter 2 lift, the restrainer will be pulled out of this Earth when the restrainer is gone. Everything that Satan and Lucifer, that the overlord of this world will be called Cosmos, diabolicus everything that he is, after he can start implementing and put it in place and there will be nothing to stop him to restrain in. Cuz all the Republicans will be gone. No. Not exactly.
More to it than that.
So we mentioned a Government consists of two branches. One Jewish and one Gentile. Received at the church and tribulation Saints will Cole rule with your shoe and then co-ruling with your shoe all over the Jewish, branch of government will be the resurrected King, David have some references here for you will. Look at those verses, Jeremiah 30 verse 9, zequiel 34, I have it up on the board for you who looking 23 through 24 37 24 through 25 which is the passage. We are dissecting and working our way through on Wednesday night. Hosea 3:5 all parallel passages. Remember David will be the 12 apostles ruling. The 12 tribes of Israel as per Christ statement to that fact. The Matthew 19 verse 28 to extract a couple of these passages. Jeremiah 30 verse 9, what they did their Keen, whom I will raise up for them. If this is the new doctrine to you, it's here, it's in scripture. We didn't make it up. David is going to be resurrected that he might rain and serve the Messiah during the Messianic Kingdom. As we have noted, some of the promises in the davidic Covenant, have to do with his raining during what can only be the Messianic Kingdom, why people can't see that? Because they have replaced Israel, and they replaced the Messianic Kingdom with their views of the church. They want to reinterpret and say, oh, well that's intended for the church, to try to take the application and scrub out the reality. We want to understand what the reality is, what the passage says. And then, if there is a dark room for a mention of the character of God, that is applicable, that we can bring to our understanding of our relationship of the church without violating dispensations or the targeting of Israel. Messianic Kingdom etcetera. Then we can do that. We can bring many many promises from the Old Testament. Across many of them reveal the nature and they teach us about him and they teach us of how he has set things up so we can do that vehicle 34. Verses, 23 and 24. I will establish one Shepherd over them and he shall feed them. My servant David.
He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.
But speaking of the future Kingdom, this is Ezekiel Ezekiel live dr. David David's already dead. He's not talking forward about the coming. David is going to come to live in the lend. Me the king know, David Cain. He was a king, he died. His son came. They are some scheme or other Sons came. People are pulled out of the Kingdom. Ezekiel is in Babylon at the time that he's riding this prophecy. Any speaking of I will establish one Shepherd over them and he shall feed them. My servant David to throw it away. We've been studying. What is this reference mean? My servant David. We've been doing a lot of digging work for you. Demi and Joe get to see cuz, you know, when it's harvest time you do for you and me, we go down to the store and we buy that loaf of bread or we get a bag of flour when we make up a couple things and you know, but for the average person who isn't living in our westernized make everyone a rich and magnificently benefited individual. You go out in your harvest. The grain which means you cut down the grass stocks on which the top of it or the greens and me and you take it and you have to process it and prepare it. And you have to be dead and you have to whip it. And you have to try to separate the the chair from the Grain and then you have to thrash it and toss it up and get the white stuff blown away from the heavy stuff, which is the green. Go through all this work and he got to take all that and you got to take it over and grind it. And if you really don't want to die from fouling poisoning, which we in our society, we don't care about such stuff like that. You would actually take it after you grounded or before you grind it. You would take all those seeds and you would soak them. Soak them is salt water. That would kill all the foul Lakes which are actually the poison that's in the skin that keeps insects from eating her. That's why we can go into an archaeological dig and we pull up their baskets of grain down here. And the grain is still there. And it's still vulnerable. You can still grow it, we can still see the genetic makeup of brain from hundreds and thousands of years ago because it's protected with this tale poisonous. Microbes can eat it. In sex can eat it in our gut doesn't eat very well either. So so the practice was you thresh it, you separate it. You And then you take it and you're dry and it went, you dried it, then you take it and you grind it and you grind it into the thickness of the meal that you need, or the flower that you need to, then you can make whatever else you're going to do within you and make them your bread, you put in the rising agents and so forth. All of that. We just walk down and buy a love.
We have no idea how incredibly rich and privileged and spoiled. We are, we are so separated from mate. We don't even get the basics. Most people, I talked to 90% of people, I talk to whoever heard of a Sally, they don't know what that is, they don't know what the structure of thing. It does to the biome in your gut and how it makes you a malnourished individual who is sick,
How do I send?
What are you show? Feed their my servant. David he shall feed them and be their Shepherd prophecy for what is to come, fighting exciting verse 24 and I the Lord will be their God. And my servant David, a prince among them by the Lord has spoken at. This is a guaranteed Covenant, between God and David, and Israel. David has spoken out as the beneficiary or the cited individual. But Israel is the specific beneficiary, and who is the guarantor? It is, God, alone, I the Lord have spoken it.
So that is Ezekiel 34. Verses 23 and 24. And then as in our Wednesday study, we noticed the parallel, Ezekiel 37, verses 24, and 25 David. My servant shall be king over them and they shall all have one Shepard place. Also walk in my judgments and observe my statutes and do them well, which is it cuz it's David statutes and judgments or is it wait and there's one Shepherd, How can there be one Shepherd if you have Messiah and you have David? Will we settled that? There is a delegated place for David? He is ruling on the hat. Is the Visine here. If you will Messiah Christ, he has the plenipotentiary ruling power and he is the designated shepherd. He cares for Those who are designated who need to remember 25 and they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant. So this is the expanded promissory land given to Jacob. That is to Israel. Know if you've noticed, if you paid attention to the land grant promises each time, someone else gets involved, it gets a little bit bigger.
Who makes Shield? Well there, they their children and their children's children forever in my servant, David shall be their prince forever. Now, some people run into problems with this forever thing. And there's a couple of ways we can make it clear. Number one, there is no interruption allowed to This Promise because it's guaranteed by God. God is the Covenant provider. There is no end either. At the end of the tribulation the end of the millennial Kingdom. There is a final war that is coming. As we talked about the unbelievers and the minions of hell that are released. They will join together and they will come against Christ one last time.
No spoilers. There are people who think that is? I don't think so. I don't think there's any justification for that the Gog, Magog is specifically about the Antichrist. Okay? So, that's why we don't tie it to the war. There are people who don't make the tie to the Antichrist in there for because they don't have an anchor for it. They can load it over and they say, let's use it over here. So that's why I don't think, because they're very specific reasons to believe that God and may God. For speaking of the Antichrist of the tribulation period of the wars, with Christ comes and puts an empty. So, but the other thing that we can keep in mind, is it when Christ And we put them into that war and we have operation footstool, put in place and which means from a perspective, every one of us gets to take a demon by the neck and toss them into the Lake of Fire and see the final end of the resistance of God, and all sin and all Death. And All That is supposed to go out in the things of God will be cast into the lake of fire helmets, cell death. We are told everything opposed to God and his perfect creation will be placed into the lake of fire then. God will recreate the heavens and the Earth. This time is not going to reform it. Like Christ does just before the Millennium, but it's going to be a complete destruction, a burning of the elements of the basic thing. Bad witches Institute. Genesis chapter 1 When God says in the beginning. God created. The heavens and Mia and we get this picture, all of creation is tied up in Genesis 1. The only place there's room for a re-creation it is an exact Read Super Tatian of what has happened in Genesis one that happens right before the Eternal Kingdom, everything that is of matter that is cursed by soon will be burnt or what is recreated will be without curse. I'm not wear and which they had will be recreated. And the interesting thing we find is that the rats, the Hebrew land is actually the Earth and it is their inheritance and we were not Jewish. You were part of the church Age. We Gentile Believers. We will occupy the New Jerusalem that hangs between Earth and the moon and the new recreated environment. So, Play me, we have Jose, 35 afterward, the children of Israel, shall return and seek the Lord, their God, and David, their King, they shall fear the lord, and his goodness in the latter days.
We see here that we have a time together of God and David in the latter days. And then in the New Testament, Jesus said to them a truly, I say to you that in the Regeneration, when the son of man sits on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me, will also sit on 12 Thrones. So again, we're bringing this all back to our conversation at the table saying you will sit on 12 Thrones judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel. He says so Pay attention and you don't have to be arguing about your place. I'll just better. You get 12 Thrones and he doesn't say one of them's going to be a better than the other will be 12 equal Thrones ruled over by 12 designated Apostle. So thank you for your patience, looks close and prayers your way. Father, we just thank you for this time of, again, investigating. What is being talked about as prices there at the past, still suffer as he raises that third blast and he speaks of the New Covenant, the new blessing puts an end to the argument of the Apostles about who is greatest recognizing that there is something to happen in the future related to the third Covenant. So they were getting that they just were putting the pieces together. So we thank you for this opportunity to clarify a little bit. Pray that you would continue to take this deeper and prepare us this week that we might be used by you filled with your . Lord gifted for evangelism gifted for service or the we might mean your ministers For Your Glory. All these things we pray in Christ's name.
