S2E63 Homily 46.01.18-25 Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the homily for today,

Homily forty six point zero one point eighteen through twenty five.

What does that mean? First Corinthians is the forty sixth

book of the Bible, the first chapter, verses eighteen through

twenty five, and this homily coming from the New King

James version. We're just following the New King James version.

The heady for this is Christ, the power and wisdom

of God. Right from the beginning of these verses it

makes a reference to Isaiah. We're going to have to

go there and sort that out because Christ is the

wisdom of God. He is the wisdom of God. So

in that you're going to see why why this stand

is built around Isaiah chapter twenty nine, particularly verse fourteen.

So it's important that you realize what is the point

of view I'm coming from? What is my event horizon,

what's my what's my greg coordinance when it comes to

the Bible. Maredath the ministries has always believed that the

Bible is inspired, in errant, and infallible. So that's where

we're coming from. So let's read these verses and just

digest it. I mean, when is the last time you

heard this preached from the pulpit, it is highly likely

that you've never heard it preached from the pulpit. So

that being the case, let's get right to the text.

Please remember that this ministry uses the New King James version.

Why is that we use it because of the manuscript translated.

It is from the Adito Regia manuscript. That is what

any New Testament should be translated off of, as it

was rightly divided. How so, ladies, and this is common

knowledge your Bible. It's its chapters and verses from the

Stefanas fifteen fifty. It has always been called. It was

labeled by the Church, the royal edition, the Adido Regia.

That's why I said, and everybody knows it. Historically this

is commonly known. It was the Adito Regia that was

rightly divided into chapters and verses. So from the New

King James version, starting in verse eighteen of first Grints,

Chapter one. For the message of the Cross is food

business to those who are perishing, but to us who

are being saved, it is the power of God. For

it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the

wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is

the disputer of this age? Has not God made the

foolish the wisdom of this world? For since in the

wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God.

It pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached

to save those who believe. For Jews request to sign,

and Greeks after wisdom. But we preach Christ crucified to

the Jews the stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.

But to those who are called both Jews and Greeks,

Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and

the weakness of God is stronger than men. So this

entire thought process comes from Isaiah chapter twenty nine. That's

that's what this whole thing is built upon of. Now,

this chapter can be divided into true things. It can

be divided into the verses that talk about the foolish,

and it can be divided into the verses that talk

about the wise. And I'm going to concentrate on the positive.

I'm going to talk about us Christ. It Pleaseia. We

are the congregation of Christ and our being the wise.

So I'm not going to, you know, do this entire chapter.

We're going to do. I'm going to pick out the

verses once, particularly about the wise. So verse fourteen. You'll

take note that what we from in first Parivius chapter one,

it didn't quote the whole first So verse fourteen of

Isaiah chapter twenty nine, from the New King James version. Therefore, behold,

I will again do a marvelous work among the people,

a marvelous work, wonder, for the wisdom of their wise

men shall perish, and the understanding of the prudent men

shall be hidden. So he is saying that this is

a new thing. This is in fact established in the

New Covenant. What was the old covenant. The old covenant

was the covenant of the law. The new Covenant. Per

Jesus Christ, when he dictated what we should do at communion,

he himself stated, the new Covenant is the covenant of

his blood. This is new, This is the new marvelous

work and wonder. So skipping down here to verse eighteen,

in that day the death shall hear the words of

the book. Very important that we know here. Let's stop

right here. We have to put together, both the Hellenica

and the Hebraica, the Hebraca, that is the Hebrew Bible.

This word for book here is sifer, or say far.

Remember God took the vows. We don't know how to

pronounce it, but that is to say, say far. That's

what it is. And in the Greek what is it?

What does the Hellenica say? That's right, it says biblios

here right here, the words of the book, the logost biblios.

That's what it says in Greek. So take notes of

that and do some personal Bible studies based around this verse.

But let me continue on. Just read both these verses together,

because they go together, verses eighteen and nineteen. And that

day the death shall hear the words of the book,

and the eyes of the little blind shall see out

of obscurity and out of darkness. The humble also shall

increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among

the men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

So this perfectly describes what First Corinthians, Chapter one, verses

eighteen through twenty five, is talking about. Jump down here

to the closing verses, these last three verses twenty two

through twenty three, Therefore, thus says the Lord who redeemed

Abraham concerning the House of Jacob that take note. Here

he gives you this term Jacob before Jacob was renamed.

He is telling you that the old covenant of Jacob

is going to be done away with, and the new

covenant will pertain to the House of Israel. Take note.

It is a common misconception today for some strange reason,

that the Church is going to be reintegrated into the

tribe of Judah. That is the last thing on earth.

The Bible says it is going to happen. What is

going to happen is the tribe of Judah is going

to be reintegrated into the children of Israel. That's what's

going to happen. So continuing on, Jacob shall not be ashamed,

nor shall his face grow pale. But when he sees

his children the work of my hands is mixed. They

will hollow my name, and hollow the Holy One of Jacob,

and fear the God of Israel. These also, who aired

in spirit, will come to understanding, and those who complain

will learn doctrine. Wow, very important here they will they

will how low my name. They will make this new

covenant the name Holy. Very important that we must realize

there is only one way to enter the New Covenant.

I've already mentioned it. At the Union, the Lord Jesus

Christ said, the New Covenant is my blood in that name.

That is the only name under heaven which you can't

be saved, the Lord Jesus Christ. So it is of

paramount important that you be able to digest Isaiah chapter

twenty nine. You have to be able to focus on

what it's talking about, and only from this perspective. When

you understand this, can you go forward in your understanding

of First Corinthians chapter one, verses eighteen through twenty five.

It is paramount that you understand in this and take note.

Let's talk a little bit here about eschatology. Why here

is it in multiple verses It makes a differentiation between

Jews and Greeks. What is the actual Greek here talking about?

You have to realize, ladies and gentlemen, that that Bible

prophecy is always structured around the same nrave. You have

to understand this. The entire planet has been hellenized at

this point. If your country votes, if your country has

a system of education, it's been hellenized. Everybody knows this.

This is why in the eighth chapter of Daniel, you

can know and understand what it's really talking about concerning

the end of time. Yes, what happened in it exactly

happened with Alexander the Great. In that narrative, Alexander the

Great plays the role he played. But in the end times,

take note. In the end times this is going to

happen again and the entire planet gets hellenized. Take note,

the German people have been hellenized. Their entire system of

government is based on the Greeks. Their entire system of

education is I can go down the line France, Great Britain, America,

any other Western world, any of the Western world you

go to, you go to Spain, it doesn't matter where

you go. The entire planet has been hellenized. So apart

from that, there are the Jews. So we have to

understand two great, big, different systems, and the Jews come

from the system of government that is what the hellenis

ever set up. The Jews go off a king, they

go off of monarchy. There's two different types of government.

There's a monarchy, a system of you know, royal kings,

and then there's elected officials which is a society that's

been hellenized. You need to realize these things are important

for you to know and you have to be able

to sort them out there. So in multiple verses, when

this talks about the Jews and the Greeks, it is

talking about diometrically opposed systems of thought. You need to

understand that. You need to know that I hope that

you are enjoying these homilies, because I certainly am. This

is what I was designed to do. I am designed

to do exactly this and just exogetically go through the Bible,

God's Holy Word, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I
