Will always been going through an interesting, a journey. A journey to help us tie a p'tan. Understand specifically Ezekiel 37 verses 24 and 25.

Where is that 27? And 28, I forget where we are now.

What time in new text. Ezekiel 37.

Verses 24 and 25.

We have been studying on the subject of my servant David. And we've been working through this, which is one of the undecided things, in which we have, kind of a couple of camps inside of our free or premillennial, dispensational interpretation, and then, we belong to. And so, some people are thinking that, do we have one king who is ruling in the Millennium, which is the Messiah. Then we have those who have identified and said, no. We actually have David himself, will be resurrected, and ruling. And then we find people who find conflict between some of the statements that are out there until we've been having to identify everything that's relevant to help us basically understand the situation and what we have. expose so far, is the nature and character of this Millennial Kingdom which you were back to again, we've looked at the roles of the

Shepherd of the prince of the reference to my servant David, we have in Ezekiel 37, really. That I don't have a screen and slide in front of me, but I'll read that starting in Ezekiel 37 verse 25. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant where your father's wealth and they shall dwell there. They their children and their children's children forever and my servants, David shall be their prince forever. That's a strong statement. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them and I shall be an Everlasting Covenant with then I will establish them and multiply them and I will set my sanctuary and their midst forevermore. So we've been working our way through 10 Bite at a time. I was explaining to a group of people the other day actually, was last night that online group that I minister to and I come up with all kinds of questions. And we have everything from people who come out of the King James version, only background of people who were ex-catholics X Calvinists. And they seen the errors of their ways is it least they're attracted to the free Grace message and I was speaking to the idea of context and how it's easy for us to insert our own hyper literalism, and we change the meaning of a phrase based on a word. But actually that word changes based on the phrase or the context that it's in and I gave them as an example. I said, you know, if we bring up the word trunk, you might have a preconceived idea of what it is. I'm talking about, but if you don't know what the context is for the word trunk, you won't really know. But if I tossed in a few other things, if you've heard elephant, you have one idea. For me, if I have tossed in car, you have another idea for me at 5 tossed in, you know, packing it and steamer, and traveling. Then you may have another idea that is coming tomorrow. I need to those are vastly different and it's the contact that helps us drive the correct. Meaning of those words actually come from a common place, there is a common element behind. Then we can trace it back. We can get into the entomology. We're just a good grief. All those words came from the same place or maybe they didn't in English, we often have similar words that came from vastly different words, they just have the same sound, how about, you know, the same spelling it. So then we treat them as the same word and we have to figure out which it is contact means everything. And so we have spent time dealing with the context that helps us understand when it comes to my servant. David one of the things we've revealed through multiple passengers here in our past studies, is that David is going to be a vice Regent. That is, he is going to be a ruler in kind. A ruler and representation for the Messiah, but he is going to be the king in the ruler and he will be resurrected and raised again and it will be I who will be ruling over all of Israel. So the davidic Covenant, when we look at it we say well that wasn't all alone for field know. It wasn't that we look at it, we say, but it looks like it's saying but there's going to be a seed or another David that's going to come, which is the Messiah. And so there are people who say they see that and I say, do you speak? But we have to be careful, we have a tendency because of the past, be a logical, milieu. The Weave coming out of has been a replacement theology million. The first thing we got, right? Yeah.

Yes.

Yes in part and he's been called the son of David and he's been called David. So we have references to Christ or the Messiah infatuated. Yeah, I have some, we're not careful. We can we can easily get confused. And so we need to make sure that we have and I with specificity and we want to have a matter of habit. As a learned hermeneutic there was a time 50 years ago. When all of us in the same cap were thinking, well there might be an opportunity for double references who's give me this. And that can mean that what we found is that causes problems. It doesn't actually seem to be something that fits the pattern of scripture. There's nothing in Scripture, that teaches us that there's no interpretations of the new testament which read the Old Testament that way. So it doesn't work. Doesn't make sense. And then we have You're saying what we have the near in the far reference. So there is what is actually being talked about at that time and history, right? Then you know invading armies and so forth and then it's also speaking of the same thing in the future again that's kind of a double reference and so we're going to stay away from that. We're going to say let's be careful that's cause problems so we're cleaning up our hermeneutic as we go along or finding out why but we actually want to be literal specific stick with the context. Unless there's something in the text that tells us otherwise there isn't always, we read through, you know, some of the Messianic Psalms we're going from Far Cry. 2 is going to be crucified to coming back and ruling with. With an iron scepter is there is no Gap in between. So sometimes it just takes wisdom to say, is talking about the Messiah in totality different events happening as he is the messiah. So we need exercise wisdom and say, well, let's not try to cram at all, you know, in one Advent or the other or try to come up with with the weird scenario sometimes that's just the way that God in his wisdom and his understanding how to set and praying the jewel of Prophecy in the maximum way, to maximize the glorification of the Lord, Jesus Christ through all of eternity, he has set things in scripture with a specificity.

That is jaw dropping the more we get into it. The more we look into the details, the more we examine just the specificity of the Hebrew or the exactness of the phrase. The Striking to me and there are individuals who want to, I don't know, second-guess God, they want to come up with the formula, what is the formula? So I can know that and then they want you to turn it into a mechanical thing. Hi Hub, Tampa Bay.

Left right brain that says, you do those tests? I don't know if you guys were taking these before, for example.

You're going to go camping. And okay, so you get everything ready to pack the car, you think it had some people just throw everything in the car. Other people have a notebook, and they're going through and checking off all the items. When they got the kids already free coordinated made up everything, they're just pulling it out of the garage transfer from the shop to the car, everything we need, and they get there. And then this question arises in the. Are you a left brain? Right brain or type of question. Which by the way is it invalid view of the human brain? It was a theory that was popular back in the seventies and eighties is pretty much been disproven since then. But we tend to be organized or unorganized no artistic or you know not you know the engineer brain versus the artist brain. So we have these categories are ways of viewing people here in this questionnaire. It's so when you get to the camping spot what do you do? Flooring. Check out the territory then, come back and set up camp after the sun's gone down. Trying to get everything set up by and I'll get the kerosene cat pumped up so you can see and get the fire going. So, you can see and pull out the flashlights and we're a little bit better off today in this led Society. You know, you just go quick and You know, you got the whole thing ready, but there was a day when I was going to either or so the question is, which ones are you and the family? I grew up in my mom, we would get to the camp so I didn't immediately we're pulling everything out of the car and setting up the camp. We are marking out. The band Breeze we are putting up the clothes lines, we are figuring out where the wood is going to be stacked. We're seeing where the kitchen is, where the tents are going. All that kind of stuff is done. It's marked out, all the chairs are taken out and put in their place. Everything is either in the camper in the car or the staging area or blah blah blah. All the food was packed away is pulled out, you know and and made sure that it's all Critter resistant places and so forth, all that stuff going on. And Lil B, you know my time where as running and see where everything is and so I found that I am somewhere, right? Exactly in the middle I'll get a few things set up. I'll look around. Get my lay of the land. So what do I need to do? Now? Get this out. What can I see before? The sun goes down, do that? What can I do after the sun goes down, then I just kind of balance it all out, but some people are completely smack dab to the left. You know, I don't recognize spontaneous other people or to the right. Everything has to be ordered and done in a timeline and if not, then they're not having fun. We're not spontaneous or not having fun. If we're not completely over organized, we're not having fun. And then there's the people that are in between and there's always people in between. So when I look at the word of God, I'm somewhere, right? Smack in the middle and my sense is what I just explained to you that the word of God. Is designed like a jeweler fashioning. Specific jewels. Give me a jeweler gets in there and depending if he knows what exactly. He was fabricating that gym for, then he may be shaping that gem to go into a fitting but it is designed to be worn or displayed or maybe just the opposite, maybe he is found a gem and he's revealing the intricacies of that. Jim, you cutting chip right here? You have a perfect face, right here to go to display and look inside and see what's going on. And it is this interaction between what call flaws, what people called flaws. And other people call characteristics. That allow you to have Exquisite valuable gems. And I think the God is crafted scripture like that for us in that way for us to be able to work and ship work on the facets. And I'm available all the riches of his plan of his character of his provisions. And so I think cuz we're going through prophecy. We have that same thing or things, some people look at it may go. It's just a big monkey Mouse. I mean he says that and she says that there's things all over the place and I can't figure out which way it's going, you know, Joel says this, and Michael says that the book of Acts, they quoted it over here and then, you know, Paul's quoting this and then you have this. And then you have other people go through, come through methodically and they say well, this fits that mess with that Misfits that they do. A pretty good job. Me of other people were just extremely meticulous, they say this.

Got a problem here. This one fit. We need to figure out what that problem is and wants her over there after we can move on. So we've progressed from Ken of being in that sloppy. But, you know, good observational, eschatological camp that we were into a much more tuned, exact and precise cancel those who seen the lay of the land. A little bit more who have been through the studies a few times, who have studied through like the stuff we're going through their starting to get all the pieces fit together and therefore they know they can verbalize what happens from A to Z very easily because they've gone through all the studying but someone who walks up and hears them verbalize everything from a to z may think. Well yeah but you just made that up. Well, no.

No. So then we have to go back and we have to you know work through and explain in detail all that out. So anyways I just wanted to explain that. I think that's a prophecy is an Exquisite gem. The review has reveals the character of God and so our approach to studying at is one of respect one vacuum away and say, oh my gosh, that's magnificent is gorgeous, and they get up close soon as gorgeous. And you get out the ring, the little eye microscope. So recall, those things, the loops or whatever, you know, and you look at it, you go to me. And you can just spend time up close or time for a way, whichever way you look at it. You see the Magnificent. So for me that's part of what we're doing in a m in my own messed up little brain. Messed up is going through that that process. So sorry, I believe her the point. So we are taking a look at the let's email Ezekiel 37 verse 20 25 and 26. And we have been specifically digging into my servant David what? That meant. And we've put quite a bit of study into that. Most recently we have been looking at the contract here, the reference that is made in verse 26 where it says and it shall be an Everlasting Covenant with them. So if that time is it, that room Everlasting Covenant is exactly synonymous with Covenant of peace and New Covenant. So this Everlasting Covenant is a covenant of peace. And it is a New Covenant. So you see the beginning of verse 26, more over, I will make a covenant of Peace within, and it shall be an Everlasting Covenant with them. And then we find that the descriptions for this or exactly the same as the description for the New Covenant is the Messianic Covenant between the Messiah and Israel. And yet, it cannot be entered into until he comes back in the second Advent as the Messiah of Israel. Moving forward with Israel being ruled here, physically on Earth. So then we get into the issue of the New Covenant. We're not going to take any time for that. Now, as to how that applies to this, who we can say is the work in the reconciliation that he provided for to be able to provide for the new hearts and the new soul for all of Israel forever more as every individual believes on him is also made available to us in this Mysterion. This time of mystery that your change that is running between the rejection of Christ by Israel up until that point at which were raptured out and very shortly thereafter. We have the time of tribulation Israel, which will run seven years and at the end of that time, they come back and they see their lord recognize him Express and call upon his name and they will be physically safe. And of course, they will be eternally save forever. So interesting stuff happening.

So, we looked at the Covenant of peace or description of the Covenant of Peace last week when we looked at the first Advent, compared to the second Advent, and that's where we left off. So, today we are picking up at the

I'm in the right place.

But that's not the right place. That's the right place. Get the date, right? May 3rd. So we are looking at the divine presence in Ezekiel 37 verses, 27 through 28. so, The divine presence and so will start up front with this statement is wine presents of Ezekiel 37, verses 27, and 28 is often connected to the Covenant formula. The brexit is 29 versus 45 and 46. An Express is the final form of fulfillment. Which Yahweh?

Express, is that he will never abandon his people? Serena, look at a couple passages first. Let's start in Ezekiel 37. Pick up where we left off. We read verse 25 and 26, turnovers 27, and 28 Mi Tabernacle verse, 27 also shall be with them. Indeed, I will be their God and they shall be my people. So now we're talking the millennial Kingdom, the Messianic Kingdom, and this is between Israel, and God verse 28. The Nations also will know that I the Lord sanctify Israel. I have set them apart with My Sanctuary is in their midst forever. Sanctuary in their Mist forever.

Interesting. So we spoke of the Covenant in Exodus, 29 versus 45 and 46. Let's look at that. An exodus 29. We read. Converse 45, I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God. Now, that word, well, Is that same word from which we get Shekinah. Okay. It's the occupying, the Tabernacle in the dwelling in our midst and he says I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God shall know that. I am the Lord their God who brought them up out of the land of Egypt that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord, their God to see there. Is this connection here? He's saying there's a relationship between them. I will eternally be there. Lord. And you will know them because I'm the one that brings them out of Egypt. For the purpose of dwelling abiding, existing in the midst of them. Pretty interesting, won't get all the way into the Fulfillment of this tonight.

but notice as we get to mention before and the overview slide and Matthew 28 verse 20,

Jesus parting words here.

Matthew 28:20, he says, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded, you speak into the apostles and lo I am with you always.

Here we have Jesus right before he departs.

Right before he goes up for his Ascension in his session. At the right hand of God, the Father

He is telling the apostles. He was repeating that. Which has been said, back at the beginning of Exodus. You explain how you know, I am the god who wants to do well with you and I'm bringing you out of Egypt and I might there might be in your midst. We did this. Study, we're actually still a bit more to get through, but we've been going.

I'm taking a look at what's happening and you see that the Shekinah Glory has appeared over time and various places and it always has to do with a Reconciliation between God and man that God might well in their missed the first time we see the Shekinah Glory apart from the cloud covering and the the the darkness which was running interference between Pharaoh's Army, and Israel and cross the Red Sea and then they have two weeks and then they start crying because they don't have lentils and onions to put in their soup. And they say Moses, God has brought us out here that we might die. And closer says God, these people are crying. I can't handle it.

I have a right. I don't think it is funny. Actually, it is true. I mean both amusing funny and it is just incredibly. The meaning is that related to show what level they had dropped you. In terms of almost an emotional IQ and their relationship with God, their spiritual like you was so low. They had so little capacity to deal with difficulties because they had so little Doctrine in their soul. And yet they have been in a place that has been taught to have retained the teachings of the word. And we have Moses was well taught by his parents, well taught by God, will end up being a teacher of them for, you know, forty years in the wilderness Omega Todd to get caught in the guitar. But it is the second generation that takes in the teaching, it gets saturated with the teaching, it actually ends of crossing over the Jordan. Going into the land and into the prosperity of the Lord. So in the picture of things, because Paul says that this was a picture for our understanding that, we are understand these things. The Ibanez Israel was brought out of Egypt. So to those people who are believers, were brought out of the world, they brought brought out of the place, the cursive slavery. And so here we are in the desert, two weeks out, and they're crying. And God says, Okay, I'll do something. But the first thing he does is he appears as the Shekinah Glory a burning fire in the wilderness, and they look out and they see the Shekinah Glory of God and then he fulfills and explain to them. That there will be a man of that, they need that ability to eat, which he will buy a new mad as a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so we went through a couple classes studying through that. The Lord Jesus Christ is a picture of that and he made the connection himself in the New Testament, back to this Old Testament point and said I am here, I am that you people are falling around because you want your bellies filled. What's not about filling bellies. It's about the word of God has come to give you eternal life and then you might have spiritual life so we have that picture. In Jesus says lo I am with you so he is making this identification with the Shekinah presence of God dwelling in their midst, the dwelling of God with his people even to the end of the events of the end. Of the age.

Lewis brings us to the idea of the original purpose of the sanctuary. Now, as we went, through our Christmas, Which included our Passover Bible, study service, and then our Christmas service and then our new year service, we found that there is a connection here that God has woven in which shall we see that the temple or the sanctuary ends up being a prediction of War? A picturing a foreshadowing of that which is the Lord Jesus Christ. And so we see the Shekinah Glory coming in a lighting inside the sanctuary inside the temple, inside the holy of holies, but that is a mere picture because that represents the Lord Jesus Christ. It's a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. Being the Shekinah, Glory of God himself in the midst of mankind. So, we want to go back there and take a look in the Old Testament. Dredge up in the context for Ezekiel 37 and what are we seeing about the presence of God? So the possibility of the presence of the holy God in the midst of Unholy, Israel is the reason that is given in Exodus 25:8 for the sanctuary, Exodus 25 verse 8 we read them. Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

It is amazing how these things just fit together.

Almost like God planned it, like all these connections are here for a reason, like he knew what he was doing, like he was a vast architect of scripture in the progressive revelation, which these people were blind to. The something that God has a master architect or Master designer is just putting all these links and connections together for us to see. That is definitely happening. Let them make me. A sanctuary.

That I may dwell among them. So the same thing is being seen, as being said here, who were seeing that a ceremonial service is being set up in the midst of Israel, which provides a ritual, not actual a ritual purification, enabling Israel to serve the Lord and its designated as a holy nation as a result because it is actually an Unholy nation of Unholy people. But it is called the holy nation. Because God has created a sanctifying process and a kingdom of priests. Isn't this interesting? How is it that God is taking a nation that people group, and he is taking them from the Unholy to Holy what's not the actual acts of their going through in the sacrifices? It's not the sacrificial system. Those are for Shadows of the actual real thing, which makes them holy, which is the atoning sacrifice you guys mentioned before in the last several months and I'll keep repeating it because it's part of the theme of this group of passages and text. We have to be studying through and Amazing how the Lord when we're on one track. And we're studying one thing on Sunday and another track thing, something else on Wednesday, suddenly they call why don't we have the exact same thing being caught and be referenced. I think that maybe God the Holy Spirit does lead congregations individually independently. One of the reasons why we have a need for pastor teachers and a local assembly because God the Holy Spirit has designated this. Here's a funny saying that God might Dwell among us and that threw that guy to teachers not something I with my mental capacity could ever tile these things together as something that we come across as we're studying, it is God the Holy Spirit and he chooses to dwell in our congregation in our assembly. And so there is a knitting and a foreman and a ministration that comes from God. That is his purpose and having individual local church with individual pastors. One of the reasons for that as a doctrines or one of the places that we would part ways a little bit with some of the Baraka background and teaching is it, we do not believe in a pasture teacher that you can identify and sit under as a taper that is just not a Biblical concept. God pulls people together geographically. And I may be in this day and age you pulling them together as groups on the internet. I don't tend to think so I'm telling everyone that I'm talking to them as if they need to be plugged into a local shirt just maybe a place of learning to fellowship and so forth. But I'm explaining to them, I'm not your pastor. I'm just able to speak as a pastor and speak and teach and so forth. So we need to have wisdom there and I think that's something for us to know. I thought I'd point that out so God has set up Israel. As a holy nation, Exodus 19, verse six and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel. Understand Israeli, you are set apart. You have been carved out from all the peoples of the earth that you might be my nation called after my name, and you will be fully Because I am providing the beans of Holiness for you between the wings of the cherubim, we shall meet bad as where the atoning sacrifice of seeing you will be Sanctified, you will find your fellowship with me there. So there is no other way for us to have fellowship or him to dwell in her. Miss other than the atoning work of the Lord. Jesus Christ. Providing that means in our lives.

When the Lord returned to the Tabernacle. At the foot of Mount Sinai, we know that there has been a long absence of the creator. From his creation as a result of the intrusion of sin into the Garden of Eden from the desecration of all of creation under the delegated authority of man. It's like everything was a glass house and it shattered every aspect of creation under the authority and management of mankind was impacted was, shattered, was defaced. Defiled was brought to a lower level was brought under a curse. Of the meaning. I'm destruction. But we do not see the Lord dwelling. with mankind between Genesis And this point in the Science Guy. When he appears again, it says, I want to dwell with you when when was the last willing all the way back, there have been no dwelling since then you might say about there has been a kind of us has appeared. In fact, they have the Shekinah Glory in the garden is there we have the Shekinah Glory at the gates, with the cherubim, with their swords drawn. We are the Shekinah Glory Express to Abraham at the Covenant that God sets between him and Abraham. We have Moses encountering a Shekinah, Glory burning bush. Yes we have occurrences of this kind of work. Does Shekinah Glory predate? Just coming to Mount Sinai. He shows up but it is not a well It is not a continual dwelling that is going on. In each case, it is a specific point in time for a provision and a quickie for all of mankind for the promises that God is set up for that Scarlet. Thread, if you will, that has been designated the runs all the way through, scripture that leaves from Adam and Eve all the way down to the person in the work of the Lord. Jesus Christ, everything is connected. So yes, we have them showing up at specific times, expressing the Shekinah Glory, and it's always, to shape the direction of progressive revelation that we might be able to trace the right way to think about things and it is something that is stalking me fast and firm know when the Lord returns

What you that will change but let's pop back to Genesis 3 vs 8. Read a few versus here down the verse 19 and they heard the sound of the Lord. God, Walking In The Garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves. From the presence of the Lord God Among the Trees of the garden.

Can I repeat?

There's just so much to comment on here. We did a study here in the last. Your believe it was, we went through and We examined the four kinds of trees in the garden to help us understand the doctrine of trees. In the categories of blessing. May God's grace provision preceded, the fall of Man, try to have a tendency to thank you Grace, our sin and fall of Man Pine God's. Every interaction with us, as always, been based on Grace undeserved favor, it is, that could saw that ministration. The proceeds from the very nature and character of God himself. It is who he is, how he is able to enter. Actress first based on Grace, true was impacted by sin. You can't just pour out that same Grace provision anymore if we eat of the tree of eternal life, as we're about to find out that creates a problem. So he moves us forward with Provisions based on Grace. the notice that they killed themselves from the presence of the Lord,

Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Cuz cuz you can't hide yourself from the omniscience of God. Who what we're saying is that we have a localized occurrence of God. What we might understand as his Shekinah is dwelling. Occupying in Abiding, and being with them, his ability to kind of rub elbows with his creation. He shows up in Shekinah, Glory in a perfect setting in scenario where they hide from that, physical presence of the Lord God, Among the Trees of the garden. Interesting. Because based on the doctrine of the Trees of the garden. We understand that some are for the pleasure of eating summer for sustenance summer, the beauty of creation. We see just the provision of God in creation, absolutely, no purpose for it. Other than absolute grace of God, being being poured out. So, and and I just, I just think it's ironic. Do I have so many great friends who I've met in the Arts and being a person who has raised up in the arch, raised up in the music Community, you know, with parents and grandparents and that's what they did their involved. And you know, Opera and, you know, making music and musicianship than concerts and, you know, music and churches in music here in music there. And, you know, it's been a wonderful thing. But there's always been this huge Liberate element. That's there. That is always just really been something to struggle with there. So many liberal people involved in the Arts and I I think I see a reason for it. Here they're hiding or hiding amongst the beautiful things from the presence of God. You know, I can't get no work till here but it appealed to me for the moment. So, Do I repair verse 9? When the Lord God called Adam and said to him, where are you? Bruce said, you said, I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. Then I hit myself.

The Angst of man arises immediately soon comes and we are angsty by the way. Thanks anxious. Anxious anxious and written comes from the same place. we're so loving and he said, who told you that he

It doesn't go. Why were you afraid? You guys who told you? You were naked. Have you eaten from the tree? Which I command you. That you should not eat. You know? This is so Jewish.

You know, the kid walks in the room.

Who's this? Socratic interaction. That is just part of the Jewish mentality and seems to have been for as long as we have eyes to see 12. And then the man said the woman whom you gave to be with me. She gave you the tree and I ate haha, not my fault. You didn't give me a good enough. Help me. She was deficient defective or something she gave me to eat. And by the way, this is the point at which all women are condemned to be those who prepare food for the man forevermore, it comes with the territory. So I got to make up for the first mistake, you know? And I know some people make it worse, some people make it better. First 13, I mean some people are good cooks, and some people I have done and then I ate. This is the one in my family, we called Kick the chicken, but I think I described it before the little family Insight went to know, Dad yelled at mom, mom yelled at me. I push my brother Steven and he'd go out and kick the chickens.

So we have this little downhill, you know, the scent of a blame, the woman said, the serpent deceived me, and I ate verse 14. And so, the Lord God said to the serpent because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle and more than every beast of the field on your belly. You shall go, then you shall eat dust all the days of your life, you are constrained to a life amongst the dirt and the dust and you will not have any of the opportunity to even be able to be standing up on all fours and chewing on all kind. You will be hiding in the rocks and then know the dirty places verse 15 and I will put enmity between you and the woman between your seed and her seed, he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heels. And here, we have What's called the protoevangelium come Evangelion. What are Latin and it means this is the first gospel presentation that we have in the Bible. Verse 16 is the woman, he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow, and your conception in pain, you shall bring forth children, your desire shall be for your husband and he shall rule over you. So we have the perpetuation of the, of the constant love, triangle, someone who desire someone else who's not interested, and looking off to something else. Might Works more important because he is going to be living by the sweat of his brow or 17. And Adam, you said, because you have heeded, the voice of your wife and I've eaten from the Tree of which I commanded you saying you shall not eat of it. Cursed is the ground for your sake and toriel, you should have been all the days of your life. So man is focused on his job a woman's focused on the relay. ship with man children are coming out willy-nilly painful and

Where's 18? Both forms and thistle shall bring forth for you and you shall eat the herb of the field. That means you're going to have to eat plants. You had you had fruit before but now you have to eat herbs. The point being thorns and thistles are going to be brought forth. So all of creation are The Descent of the curse has fallen on creation and that is what we have in large part being described here, the curse is applied to all mankind to a woman. Kind to all Labor's interactions with this Earth. We have, we build our Gardens. We have our special places that we build up. We have our houses or places of isolation. We try to make our Heavens on Earth. We try to find the places to eat. The way to, we try to find the people that we can hang out with that are better than being alone or better than being with those other people. We always try to improve the situation and find a better version but we are constantly living under the power of the curse on Earth verse 19 in the sweat of your face. You shall eat bread till you return to the ground for out of that. You were taken in for dust, you are and to dust you shall return.

next, we see the man is exiled from God's presence, as the chair of them are placed at the entrance of Eden, couple of Versus we skip over in verse 22. Lord, God said, behold the man has become like one of us to know good and evil and now lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever. Meaning in that curse, ID state Where's 23? Therefore, the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. First 24. So he drove out the man. He plays cheer of them at the east of the Garden of Eden. In the Flaming sword which turned every way to guard the way to the Tree of Life. Don't know. Here because it's been part of our dirty, recent studies, the theme of the cherubim associated, with the loss of the presence of Yahweh and the gaining of the presence of Yahweh You see the cherubim were involved in the access to? The place of abiding of Fellowship, of dwelling of where we had the Shekinah Glory for the glory manifest. In God, dwelling with us is always surrounded by the by the turim. Hi, I find that intriguing

so, at the very point, then

That point at which Shekinah is lost or the dwelling of God, not the appearing in epiphanies of Shekinah through time. But the dwelling that happens in Garden, in the Garden of Eden, the cherubim step forward who made guard that. Place of abiding so that man no longer has access to it. Except

What we are finding God Returns on Mount Sinai and says, now I want to do well with you again. And how is that going to happen?

They're going to take the blood of the sacrifice. I'm stunning work. Call Belen on Yom Kippur on the day of the holy of holies and they're going to pour it out.

Between the wings of the cherubim set in Gold Over The Mercy Seat. In the holy of holies of the Tabernacle in the fire of God is going to cover. MBA send upon the can and God will be dwelling with Israel. Specifically out of all of mankind following the lineage of promised through Noah and Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob down to Moses and all the people of Israel and God is going to dwell with them again. So we have the loss of the abiding with the presence of God in Genesis at the Garden of Eden and the cherubim were there to witness and be part of it. They are the access the gate before Bitters. And then we have the regaining of the abiding presence of God in his Shekinah, Glory on planet Earth again happening. As we have the cherubim shown representing as Hebrews told us, We have studied again. Previously very recently. It was a picture of Zion. It is a picture of what is going on in the heavenlies. That is represented in what is portrayed in the Tabernacle and in the temple. So do God himself is going with us again, but it is between the weans of the cherubim that we have access, which means by association the place where the atoning works of Jesus Christ is seen so significant. And yet, here's interesting thing, even in this charismatic day, you think this would be something be bantered about, you know, people be talking about, let's go, let's go, let's go someplace where we are or whoever is close to the next picture that we could start one right here. We have a coffee shop in a little pull in coffee shop. We're going to call it between the wings of the cherubim, get it. Do you like come together and hang out? And
