In the Beginning, Part One
Welcome to the gospelizer featuring Pastor, John McCain.
First podcast, ever episode 1. Is entitled. In the beginning. after all of our Hebrew Scholars bereshit
All right. Shalom, and welcome to the gospel izer hosted by me. Pastor John president of faithful church.org., You're on my Ministry for the 21st century Church of Christ. All right. I was called on September 22nd. 2014 by Yahweh. God himself that. If I created a site where his son Jesus Christ, good news, that salvation could be proclaimed to the world. He would bring those whom he has chosen to me, sort of like a, if you build it. They will come thing. The 21st century church. Is that a living breathing organism? Not an Earthly organization. The Holy Spirit collects us from all walks of life to form the church. Not a building in any way. My God, our God is amazing and he can't lie. That's for over 4 years. Now. We have reached a thousand upon thousands of people from almost every country around the world. With one simple message, repent believe in the son of righteousness. Who is Jesus Christ and be baptized. I've affectionately nicknamed myself, John the gospel, iser. You know, my spin on John, the Baptist. Baptized, ER, I have the honor of delivering the message that those living in the second Advent of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, or in Hebrew, you, shua Messiah. So with that said, our first-ever podcast, it's titled as a sit before in the beginning.
In this podcast, we will be focusing on the beginning of time in the Book of Genesis particularly chapter 11 verses 1 through 9. So we will pause here. Let everyone find that and then I will read it.
All right, so we are reading about the Tower of Babel. We're reading about this particularly because it
What kind of explain where God has leading me to to teach with regard to technology? I want you to bear with me and will read this first and then I promise that I will make it clear as to what he wants us to know and be prepared for. So I'm reading Genesis chapter 11 verses 1 through 9, and I am reading from the new King James Version. And I will be reading now. Now the whole earth had one language and one speech and it came to pass as they journeyed from the East that they found plane in the land of shinar and they do out there. Didn't they say to one another come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly. They had brick for stone and they had asphalt for Mortar and they said, come let us build ourselves a city and the tower whose top is in the heavens. Let us make a name for ourselves. Lest. We be scattered abroad over the face of the whole Earth. But the Lord Yaweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built and the Lord Yahweh said, indeed. The people are one and they all have one language and this is what they begin to do. Not nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Let us go down there, confuse their language that they may not understand one another speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the Earth and they ceased building the city there for its name is called Bible because they fear the lord Yaweh confuse the language of all the Earth and from there the Lord y'all always scattered them abroad over the face of all the Earth.
Pretty interesting stuff right there about the beginning and how the Earth was scattered abroad. So what we learn is We have to keep in mind that during this time a mighty Hunter, a warrior name Nimrod. If you read further, if you read before in the scripture or passage conquered many territories, including Babylon, the people during that time under nimrods leadership decided that they would build a great Tower or what we would know. Now, as a skyscraper skyscraper, excuse me, that would touch the heavens. A scripture tells us at one time, the world had the same language and vocabulary. The great flood destroyed the Earth's inhabitants with the exception of faithful, Noah and his family. Y'all were told them to be fruitful and multiply just as he did with Adam and Eve, so many people began to once again, feel the Earth. And here we are now talking about the same people wanting to make a name for themselves by building a city which would prevent them from being further scattered throughout the planet. So let's quickly, jump to our time for just a second. Do we not see the same thing occurring today though, technology has greatly reduced manual. Labor. The same activebuilding using corrects hasn't really changed. Its just done with technology. Is it not amazing that thousands of years ago people were able to build such a tower? The Bible said it was to reach the top of the sky or to heaven and I'm going to take a pause here for just a second. There's the book called to share and whether or not we believe its Authority or not. The historical significance of it should be noted and it speaks the Book of Joshua actually speaks about how the people were felt sole purpose was to build the tower under new leadership. That could reach the heavens so that they could battle against the heavenly bodies, which you're the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Legion of angels that there are so that was the true intent. So if you look at that and compare it to what we just read and chapter 11 verses one through nine Genesis, you will see why it was important for God, to come down, look at what was going on and confuse their language has, okay. I hope I'm making sense. If I'm not hit me up at faithful church.org. And I will answer all of your questions. Okay, so let's get back to this, the good stuff here. Alright, so
History, certainly repeats itself as King Solomon says, there is nothing new Under the Sun that could not be more prophetic. There's always a competition of who can build the highest tower, the fastest train, for example, just look at the USA or Japan or Dubai. All trying to become like Gods by building the highest tower. The skyscraper is it It means in one word, of course. Money Financial power. Which brings me to the meat of this message to you are the Lord came down to look at the progress of the city and its tower for spices that and I'm paraphrasing. If we don't intervene if we don't do something now anything these people think of will not be impossible for them to do. Don't do that for a minute as you reflect on just how far Science and Technology have come. Do you see where I'm headed here? I wants to certain show on a certain streaming device. And more than one episode, humans have found a way to take out very Consciousness and placing in what they call artificial intelligence such as robots computer, programs Holograms, and even as one hit movie suggested, place it into other humans, far-fetched, impossible. Just said if he didn't intervene by confusing, the languages of all people, then nothing would be impossible. So it is not impossible for humans to really do anything.
Let's take a step deeper and Genesis 3. We see that the serpent or the devil Satan convinced Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of knowledge. When they did this, their eyes became open and they were able to differentiate their action from what God said. If you eat of this tree, you will surely die. Satan knew this. He also knew that by eating Adam and Eve would be able to know good from evil.
Actually good and evil. Isn't really the most accurate translation of the original Hebrew from, which the Old Testament is written Adam and Eve were now able to actually tell functional. From dysfunctional. You see how we didn't have? There was no equivalent. So it became good and evil or bad. Those are completely synonymous. But there is really no English equivalent. So translators decided on the closest wording on story short. Look at those two words for yourself and you should see that we have inherited the same discernment and I put it to use in too many ways to discuss hearing this first podcast.
Humans are now trying to find a way to live forever, playing God, and attempting to mock him, though. He cannot find a way to take this flesh and make it. A mortal humans. Have used this function to slow down the aging process. And back to my earlier, point take are very personality and thoughts and implant them in devices, which in my opinion, could only be demonic in nature. So, what am I telling you? I'm not trying to induce any Theory or Scare Tactics to gain your attention and definitely is a true man of God. My purpose for sharing. This is that the world needs to be on God. We not, we're not just the Believers or it's not just for us Believers. But every human being needs to be prepared for the return of Jesus Christ. That's the entire point of our discussion humans in our efforts to be like God knowing function, good or dysfunction bad are only limited by our imaginations. We can look around and see the tremendous technological progress that is occurring too fast to keep up with. So unless our heavenly father intervenes and sends his son, the Messiah to save us from ourselves and from our sinful Wicked actions. Just as he did with the people of Babylon, which means confusion, there is no telling what we will do. Jesus Christ says himself that there will be a Great Tribulation that the world has never seen. He went further to say that things would be so very bad on the earth that if he doesn't cut the day short or return to redeem the faithful, there would be no more. That would be no more planet. We will talk more about Jesus and the Great Tribulation in future podcast. So be looking for that. I want each of you to do your own personal research and what I shared with you, use your Bibles. Look at historical resources and just look at the world to see things unfold just as the Bible prophesize. So gospel lights until next week. Remember to love God with every fiber of your being and love your neighbor as yourself. Shalom. Peace. May you always be with you in the name of Jesus Christ. I pray. Amen.
