Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do
-
you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal
-
Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen,
-
Welcome to the program. I am your host, Matthew Tonight,
-
where are doing a fellowship on the Biblical New Testament
-
word redeem. This is kind of a a confluted way
-
that this come about. Probably Jennifer ought to describe how
-
this come about, because I'm not not quite sure Aleck
-
came about. So, Jennifer, why are we doing this New
-
Testament New Testament word for redeemed tonight?
-
Essentially, it's because I can't hear misunderstood what you said
-
on one of your shows. So that's how this happened.
-
So and it's my fault.
-
Well that's good. That's good because this is a really
-
good study. I noticed that Joni was in the chat
-
and it was very important to her, and I said,
-
we can certainly do it, and nobody ever clarified. However,
-
that's not the study We're going to do. That study
-
that word I talked about that that Jennifer miss heard
-
was renewed. You must be renewed. It's going to be
-
maybe a part three. Well, it is the part three.
-
The question of whether I'm going to do it or
-
not I formally announced to publicly is a two part series,
-
born again and then reborn. Well, the third part is renewed,
-
so we may do that. But this is this is
-
just as an important study because this is so closely
-
tied together. It's it's amazing how these words work out
-
to me in Hebrews. But tonight we're going to talk
-
about the Greek because in a New Testament, the word
-
used for redeemed in a lot of translations, especially the
-
New King James version, is two different Greek words, and
-
to a person looking at it, you don't know, you
-
have no clue what's actually going on. And that's one
-
of the reasons why I take umbrage with well all
-
English translations, because here case in point one of these
-
words should be translated ransom should be ransom. But this
-
is a perfect Bible study because there's just three instances
-
of each word in the New Testament. Now, if we
-
expand to the septuagen Old Testament, that's that's a whole
-
another pill to swallow. That's that gets into Bible prophecy,
-
that goes places. We don't have time to do that tonight.
-
But looking at the document that I'm made for everybody,
-
Redeemed the two words here in Greek. The first one
-
is G thirty eighty four the true, the true. It
-
comes up in three different passages in the New Testament.
-
And the idea of this of this Greek word is
-
to loosen or to free, that's really the idea behind it.
-
It can also mean to dissolve or even to divorce,
-
that is to say, separate. So that's why this root
-
word means to loosen or to release. And I guess
-
that's properly the best English translation we would have in
-
this context, because even in the use of the word divorce,
-
you release your spouse from the vow. So that's probably
-
probably a really good way to translate this would be released.
-
But yes, the new King James version use redeemed, and
-
when when I read it to you, you're going to
-
see it in the context. But I put the document
-
in the chat for everybody to be able to get
-
access to it. Very simple. I just wanted you to
-
see the Greek, and when it's in the verses, I
-
put the case in form there with it. I don't
-
put the generic form of the word. I let you
-
see what you need to see. So the very first
-
time this word comes up in the Greek New Testament
-
is this infamous time after g Jesus has been resurrected,
-
this infamous event that happens on the road to Emmaus,
-
where I have long stated this and I base all
-
my arguments really off this instance of the word redeemed
-
one of the first miracles, and really the first miracle,
-
one of the first miracles that Jesus did was the
-
crowd goes to stone him and he passes in their midst.
-
That is to say, I'm thoroughly convinced that he just
-
quite simply changed his appearance. And I think what happens
-
here on the road to Emmaus is the true case
-
and form. I don't think you could paint a picture
-
of the Lord Jesus Christ. I think that if you're
-
someone like me, and you have your grandfather was full
-
blooded German from Germany, and your grandmother was full blooded Indian,
-
he took her right off the trail of tears. He
-
went down there to get himself a wife. And so
-
I am quite certain that if I looked at Jesus,
-
I would see someone like myself. Ily believed that if
-
you were a islander from Scotland and you looked at him,
-
you would see a very pale, complexed redhead. And that's
-
what you're going to see here. And well, that's why
-
I've always caught that in a classroom setting. I thoroughly
-
believe that you don't know what Jesus looked like, because
-
I believe he changed his appearance with the needs. So,
-
starting here in verse thirteen of Luke, chapter twenty four,
-
now Baho, two of them were traveling that same day
-
to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem,
-
and they walked together of all these things which had happened.
-
So it was while they conversed and reasoned that Jesus
-
himself drew near and went with them, But their eyes
-
were restrained, so they did not know him. And he
-
said to them, what kind of conversation is this that
-
you have with one another as you walk and are sad?
-
Then one of those whose name was Pleampus, answered and
-
said to him, are you the only stranger in Jerusalem.
-
And you have not known the things which have happened
-
in these days. And he said to them, what things?
-
So they said to him, the things concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
-
who was a prophet mighty indeed and word before God
-
and all the people. And now the chief priest and
-
our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and
-
crucified him. But we were hoping that it was he
-
who was going to redeem Israel. There's the word g four. Indeed,
-
besides all this, today it is the third day since
-
these things happened. Yes, and certain women of our company
-
who arrived at the tomb early astonished us when they
-
did not find his body. They came saying that they
-
had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.
-
And certain of those who were with us went to
-
the tomb and found it just as the woman had said,
-
but they did not see him. Then he said to them, oh,
-
foolish ones, and slow of heart, to believe all that
-
the prophets has spoken. Not the Christ have suffered these things?
-
And to enter his glory? And beginning at Moses and
-
all the prophets, he expounded to them all the scriptures,
-
the things concerning himself not take No, here's the first
-
usage of the word g thirty eighty four. But we're
-
saying here in the New King James version as redeemed,
-
it means yes, to lose. What were they talking about.
-
They wanted the Lord Jesus Christ to free Israel from Rome.
-
That's what they were wanting. This was their primary thrust.
-
That they wanted the Kingdom of Heaven to be an
-
Israelite empire. That's what they were wanting. So you need
-
to know that here in the case redeem it means
-
to be loosed. They were wanting to be free from
-
the bondage. So does anybody have anything they want to
-
talk about this passage of scripture? Anybody any questions, anything
-
that sticks out to you. Nope, We'll move on to
-
the next instance. The next instance is in Titus chapter two,
-
verse fourteen, taken from the New King James version. Again,
-
for the grace of God that brings salvation has appear
-
to all men, teaching us that denying and godlingness and
-
worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in
-
the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the
-
glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
-
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
-
from every lawless deed and purify for himself his own.
-
Special people zealous for good works, speak these things, exhort
-
and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. Boy,
-
this really ties in with the idea that you must
-
be born again. This is very plain to the text.
-
Anyone that teaches you Antiinomian free grace is Antichrist. This
-
very plainly in the Greek text is saying that the
-
Lord Jesus Christ has freed us from lawlessness. We are
-
no longer to be bondage to our What's a good
-
way to put it, carnal desires that carnal desire to
-
get ahead. So you lie about your fellow employees so
-
you can be promoted. You lie in your taxes so
-
you can further your retirement savings. And I can go
-
on and on and on. We have been loosed from
-
those things. And boy, I could just start right here
-
doing a big sermon. I mean, this is really plain
-
into the text that the reason why the Lord Jesus
-
Christ did this was to purify for himself his own
-
special people's zealous for good works. Anybody got any comments.
-
Isn't that kind of different from what people think it means?
-
I mean in the church, you think, well, he freed
-
me from my sin from death, and that's like, I
-
know what they think that gives them a license to
-
keep sinning, like, oh, I myssed up. That's okay, you
-
know what I'm saying.
-
Yes, I know what you're saying, and that's why. That's
-
why I said what I said. This proves that those
-
words are Antichrist.
-
Well, it's amazing too that the first it almost the
-
second section almost seemed to rebuttal the like or be
-
a counter to.
-
The first section.
-
Yep, And that the first.
-
Section was saying, you know, hey, aren't you going to
-
free us from all of these physical things that are
-
ruling over us? But he's they don't even understand what
-
is actually ruling over them, because the second section is
-
talking about these things, these lusts of the flesh, that
-
are actually what is ruling over everybody. I guess is
-
how I sort of perceived what you read.
-
And that's exactly the way it should be perceived. Yes,
-
and Jinny, don't you realize that they can't see it,
-
can they? They can't see it that they don't realize
-
that their present condition is that of the damned. That's
-
their present condition, and the Lord Jesus Christ came to
-
free us from that. It is to free us from
-
the addiction to the forbidden fruit. Jenny, that's your problem.
-
It's always been your problem. That is Hammy's problem. It's
-
the same exact problem she's always had that I've always had. Unfortunately,
-
in the garden in Genesis chapter three, we god hoodwinked
-
and addicted to that forbidden fruit. The Book of Hebrews
-
is very plain the text. It drills home authoritatively that
-
the Lord Jesus Christ was the new atom. Through his
-
blood we are redeemed. This idea, that's what these this
-
short short stands up. Oh my goodness, how many verses
-
are here, people, How many verses are here. That's five
-
verses here. Yet it's saying, even though it doesn't mention
-
the forbidden fruit that everybody else is addicted to, it's
-
saying you've been free from that. That's saying you've been
-
freed from you've been cured of that addiction to ungodliness.
-
That's why they can't see it, Jenny. They can't see it.
-
And I hate to tell you this is a serious
-
litmus test. If you give this in a classroom setting,
-
can read it and just look over the class and
-
I can immediately know who, what, where, and why. You
-
can just look at their demeanor, watch them instantly change,
-
and know in their hearts what they are. This is
-
very simple, you know, I've talked about it so much
-
I'm gonna have to read it again. This text is
-
saying that the Lord Jesus Christ sacrifice has released you
-
from your carnal nature. You are supposed to be born again.
-
You are supposed to be reborn. Why am I using
-
two different words, because the Greek uses two different words.
-
You must be renewed. That's what this is saying. And
-
if you're not hearing that, if you're hearing that the
-
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ gives you a license
-
to sin, it's because I can't help you anyway. There's
-
nothing I can do. There's nothing I can say to
-
tell you the truth. But I'm going to read them
-
anyway in hopes that the Lord, my God might use
-
my voice to create in you you know, I'm not
-
going to finish my statements quite simply because I've made
-
this statement too many times, and you think these verses
-
are a licensed to sin, I can't help you. Titus
-
Chapter two, verses eleven through fifteen, for the grace of
-
God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching
-
us that be not by ungodliness and worldly lust. We
-
should live soberly, righteously and godly in the present age,
-
looking for the blessed, hope and glorious appearing of our
-
great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for
-
us that he might redeem us from every lawless deed
-
and purify for himself his own. Special people zealous for
-
good works, speak these things, exhort and rebuke with all authority.
-
Let no one despise you. You know this usually makes a
-
lot of people gnash their teeth, especially the Hebrew roots people.
-
Oh my goodness, they hate these verses because you understand,
-
this verse came right out and said that that who
-
is Jesus, this attributes things to him that they don't like.
-
It is an anathema who the spirit of Antichrist within them.
-
They can't say these words. Repeat after me, everybody, I
-
dare you our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, our
-
great God. Yes, Jesus is God, the Sun and Savior.
-
So believe me when I say just this phrase is
-
a litmus test for the spirit of Antichrist, and it
-
always has been so. It is as Jenny says, It
-
is as Tammy says, that the Lord Jesus Christ gave
-
himself for us that we might be loosed from the
-
addiction of the forbidden fruit. And I'm going to describe
-
to you what those things are. It's just like the testimony.
-
Now We've talked about this many times. I've taught about
-
this and taught about it and taught about it. This
-
phrase from Isaiah to the Law and to the testimony.
-
You need to know what that is. How will they
-
know you? They will know you for your love for
-
one another?
-
Right?
-
What is love? It's the beatitudes. It's the beatitudes. It
-
always was, it always will be the beatitudes. If you
-
execute them, that testifies to what you are. If you
-
love someone, you will not buy elate the Beatitudes or
-
the Ten commandments. The war that individual. That's a fact.
-
What is the opposite of that what's the opposite of
-
the Ten Commandments and the beatitudes? Ungodliness worldly lust. That's it.
-
Ungodliness and worldly lust. That's it. This is the this
-
is the antipode to that. There's the law and the testimony.
-
What they follow is ungodliness and worldly lust. That's what
-
they do. They can't hide it from you. They can,
-
you know, wear all kinds of the chosen T shirts. Right,
-
you can get all kinds of T shirts with Scripture
-
versus on it. So you see from this very simple
-
verse that how important it is that we are redeemed
-
in the Greek sense of this word. We've been freed
-
from that addiction. We could expand this Bible study right now,
-
we don't have enough time. But I can take these
-
two words and trace it directly back to the two culprits.
-
I've probably said enough to pique your attention. Wait a minute,
-
what is he saying? Who's the two culprits? Well, who's
-
the two culprits from the garden? Take note. You can
-
take these two Greek words ungodliness and worldly lust. Okay,
-
you can take those words and trace them right back
-
to the two culprits. But we don't have time to
-
do that. That's not what we're doing tonight. I've said
-
enough about this stanza. Let's move on to the book
-
to colossee Colossian's chapter two or chapter four. Verses two
-
through six. Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it,
-
with thanksgivings. Meanwhile, praying also for us that God would
-
open to us a door for the word to speak
-
the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chage,
-
that I might make it manifest as I ought to speak.
-
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside redeeming the time.
-
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt,
-
that you may know what you ought to answer each one, Boy,
-
this is a very simple stanza, although it's very complicated
-
in its situation. But take note, this is the first
-
reference to time being loosed. I'm not going to talk
-
too much about this. You just need to know that
-
there's a reason why this word is tied to this
-
concept of time. It's necessary, it's necessary. So now we're
-
going to jump over to the other Greek word for
-
redeemed in the New Testament. Boy, where do I start
-
with this one? This word four the first one we
-
did was eighteen oh five. This one's a little different.
-
It also has three instances here, So that's pretty important
-
that you know that each of these words in Greek
-
are in the New Testament three times apiece. That should
-
immediately I tell you that this is a highly complicated affair.
-
We're talking about highly complicated A Claire and very simple
-
uh to trapes through this mess? And you know what,
-
I just realized that, boy, I was doing this out
-
of order, wasn't I? Did anybody catch that? I just
-
kept trying to five.
-
I was trying to follow along with your document, and
-
you went from Titus two colawtions. But yeh, Peter was
-
the one that in the document that was next.
-
That's right, that's right. I got I got twisted and
-
turned around, didn't I that I'm putting everybody to the test.
-
Why did somebody speak up and say, hey, you did
-
that out of order? Oh my goodness, Okay, we just
-
did colostions with eighteen oh five. Yeah, we're just going
-
to move. Wow, I did that completely out of order,
-
didn't I? Oh my goodness, Why didn't somebody say something
-
to me? Uh my goodness, Well, boy, that doesn't happen
-
very often. Maybe we should just take comments right now,
-
anybody got any comments.
-
I My head's spinning around thinking about this being loose
-
art business because it brings me back to what is
-
loosed on having loosed on earth bound and heaven bound
-
on Earth. So I'm thinking this has something to do
-
with that.
-
Well, what versus are you talking about?
-
Well, I don't know what versus. It's just in my
-
in my head, that's that. That thought came to my
-
came to me where it is what what is loosed
-
in heaven be loosed on earth? And so when you're
-
talking about redeemed me beaning loose or loosed or to
-
loose like from bondage, yes, because you know it has
-
the bond thing too.
-
Yes. So yeah, you're talking about the passage from Matthew
-
chapter sixteen.
-
So that that will my mind, Well it should because
-
that that word for it's not the same word that's
-
G thirty eighty nine.
-
So well maybe we should just just take a look
-
at that, so very very close in form uh to
-
what we've been talking about. But that's D thirty eighty four,
-
all right, which is a verb. So let me jump
-
over here. We'll take me but a second to jump.
-
So this thirty eighty nine is also a verb. It's
-
it's the same thing, but in a different sense. It
-
means to break. But really it's it's really it's the
-
same word using just used with different different verb tenses
-
and case. So, yes, you're right to say that, you
-
know it reminds you of that and it should break
-
is highly highly complicated. But yes, this series of words g.
-
Thirty eighty four through thirty eighty nine basically all means
-
the same thing. It means too loosen or to release.
-
So the verse in questions she's talking about, I will
-
give you a key ease of the Kingdom of Heaven,
-
and whatever you bond on earth but bound in heaven,
-
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Yes,
-
that's the same same family of words in the Greek.
-
So why did it make you think of that tammy?
-
Because if we're talking about the redemption of the blood,
-
you know, redemption through Christ. Right we see receive the redemption,
-
So that means also that ties into that what we read,
-
what we read, what is redeemed on earth is in
-
heaven and so forth.
-
Right, bro, Yes, absolutely, it.
-
Gives us authority is what I'm saying. It speaks to
-
our authority as someone that is redeemed.
-
Yes. And you know this is the also the Greek
-
word that you've heard me talk about so so many
-
times at Bierrano, that we have this in the heavenlies.
-
This this this whole idea that that Christians are seated
-
in the heavenlies at the Irano with Christ because we
-
are well technically at this point, our great and God,
-
you know, and Savior Jesus, we are his heirs and
-
that means we are heirs actually to God. Now, boy,
-
a lot of people and they should, they should get
-
really upset when you hear somebody say that. But I mean,
-
there's no there's no way around what the New Testament
-
says about it. And you know, I really messed this
-
up switching back and forth between the Greek words and
-
I should not have done that. But the two words
-
in question here is G eighteen o five and G
-
thirty eighty four. Boy, I'm sorry I got that out
-
of order. I hope everybody's looking at the document and
-
you know what I was actually talking about. But we
-
need to go back up to G. Eighteen oh five.
-
The first instant of this in Galatians chapter four, verses
-
one through seven. This is where we get this, this
-
idea that through the Lord J's will, like I said,
-
under normal circumstances, if you hear somebody say this, it
-
should shoot up red flags, you know. And this is
-
many people have built cults off these. I mean, look
-
at David koresh right, he had his followers believing that
-
he was actually David. He wasn't. But anyway, this here
-
we get the Greek wered g. Eighteen oh five and
-
verse five. Now I say that the heir, as long
-
as he is a child, does not differ at all
-
from a slave, though he is master of all, but
-
is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by
-
the Father. Even so, we, when we were children, were
-
in bodonage under the elements of the world. But in
-
the fullness of time had come God sent forth his son,
-
born of a woman, born under the law, who redeemed
-
those who are under the law, so that we might
-
receive the adoption as sons verse six. And because you
-
are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his
-
son into our hearts, crying abba Father. Therefore you were
-
no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son,
-
then you an heir of God through Jesus Christ. So
-
when you put that in the proper context, and take
-
note this is a different Greek word that this doesn't
-
mean to loosen, and I need to go over there
-
right now before I go any further. So this word
-
is a Greek compound word. The first word is from
-
on or above, and the second word it means to
-
go to market, to buy, So this means to purchase.
-
So literally, the better word here would actually be although
-
I'm kind of conflicted with that, but it should be ransom.
-
This is literally saying that you have been paid for
-
with the price as if at a market. The idea
-
here being that you were for all intents and purposes,
-
you were bought from the world or you know, I
-
don't want to really say that, but you know, we
-
are under Satan's dominion. And this, this word here, and
-
this usage is not loosed. It's saying that Christ has
-
purchased us. He has ransom, he has he has paid
-
the devil his due and bought us from the worldly system.
-
He has bought us from Satan. Even though just be careful,
-
I'm speaking figuratively here. So so really, you know, this
-
had some very very hard things. I mean, verse seven
-
is off the hook. How many times have you heard
-
this from the pulpit. Now, when I was a child,
-
I get got this all the time from the pole,
-
But I got all this all the time from the
-
book because I was warned and warned and warned. Once
-
you're a Christian, your stewards will hammer you if needs be,
-
and those stewards, of course, your guardians includes the host
-
of Heaven. Now, I'm going to tell you a private
-
conversation that me and my wife just had.
-
We've had a very very bad events happen at our church,
-
and as my wife was discussing it, my wife pointed
-
out what we had been taught when we were children.
-
Well, you will know if they're forgiven or not. You're
-
going to know because they're going to be hammered. And
-
she's correct. If they go on and prosper and you
-
see that the world takes them right in and they
-
grow in wealth and power, know in your heart they're damned.
-
That's a very hard thing to say, but I'm telling
-
you from the pulpit that's exactly what my childhood preach.
-
Your brother Marshall burned into my brain. You better figure
-
this out. That it's one thing for the damned to sin,
-
it's what they do. But if a Christian does this,
-
they will be taken to the woodshed, so to speak,
-
and they will receive a hammering in full. Now, if
-
this person that's a Christian that's done the dirty deed,
-
if they do not receive a hammering, know in your
-
heart what they are, Know in your heart what they are.
-
So what's a very hard thing to say. But you
-
need to know and understand this, and this needs to
-
make you quake in your boots. Look be so easy
-
for me to take advantage of people. I mean, at
-
my place of employment, I could do all manner of
-
ungodliness and prosper I could steal, I mean, you name it,
-
I could do it. It's very easy to do. But
-
guess what once you do and you're a Christian, if
-
you don't think that the Lord is not going to
-
instruct who these verses are talking about to discipline you,
-
you've got another thing coming. I hope none of you
-
ever find this out, but I'm telling you the truth.
-
You need to go over these verses, and you really
-
do need to memorize relations Chapter four, verse seven, And
-
you better think twice about cheating on your taxes, because
-
about the minute you cheat on your taxes, a tornado
-
will row through your neighborhood. I'm just telling you, if
-
you want to steal from your neighbor, you better watch out.
-
You better watch out because you know, you know the
-
old adage remains true that you will exist forever. Your
-
choices are this. You're gonna die forever or you're gonna
-
live forever, and make no mistakes about it. You can
-
steal from your neighbor, but I warn you, answers very expensive.
-
That I shock you. You know you can steal at work,
-
but I'm here to tell you that root canals aren't cheap.
-
You know I'm telling you the truth. You can lie.
-
You can certainly lie and get your coworker fired so
-
that you can move up the corporate ladder. Yes, you
-
can do that. However, you need to know this downsizing
-
really does hurt. So I think I'm going to read
-
these verses again. And you really do need to memorize
-
verse seven. And I don't know why this has turned
-
into a holiness speech or whatever whatever you'd like to
-
call it. Lesson. Of course, I don't give teachings. I
-
don't know what that is. I give Bible lessons. But
-
you really do need to memorize verse seven of Galatians
-
chapter four. Now I say that in an air, as
-
long as he is a child, does not differ at
-
all from a slave, though he is mister of all.
-
So let's expand upon that. You need to understand what
-
was just said. You outrank the angels. That's what it said.
-
That's what it meant. It expands on this idea, but
-
is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by
-
the Father. Even so, we, when we were children, were
-
in bondage under the elements of the world. But when
-
the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son,
-
born of a woman, born under the law, who redeem
-
those who were under the law, that he might receive
-
the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God
-
has sent forth the spirit of his Son into our hearts,
-
crying abba Father. Therefore you are no longer a slave,
-
but a son, And if a son, then an heir
-
of God. Let that sink in. You're in God's family.
-
You're an air of God through Jesus through Jesus. So boy,
-
we're getting the full gambit with these Greek words. Before
-
we talked about the great God and Savior Jesus. In
-
these verses, well yeah, you're getting the magnifying element of God,
-
the Father being tied to the Lord Jesus Christ through
-
the spirit. So wow, I mean, how could you ever
-
read verses six and seven and deny the Trinity. I
-
don't know. Well, I mean, if the spirit of Antichrist
-
is in you, that's exactly what you're going to do,
-
is deny the Trinity. But these verses said it as
-
plainly as you could get it. It really did. Let's
-
talk about Ephesians chapter five, verses fifteen through twenty one.
-
Once again, this is the Greek word g eighteen oh five.
-
This element tied to time. See then that you walk circumspectly,
-
not as fools, but as wise redeeming the time because
-
the days are evil. Therefore, do not be unwife, but
-
understand what the will of the Lord is, and do
-
not be drunk with wine, which is dispiation. To be
-
filled with the spirit, speaking to one another in psalms
-
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody, in
-
your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all
-
things to God the Father, in the name of our
-
Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one of another in fear
-
of God. Here we got this Greek word tied to time, redeemed,
-
the time, purchase, the time ransom the time for these
-
days are evil, this time is evil. We already talked
-
about Colossians chapter four, verses two through six, once again
-
speaking about time. We are too ransom. Time, boy, I
-
wish we had time to Yes.
-
One third of those verses talked about time.
-
Yeah, two six, Okay, yes'm I don't want to dwell
-
there too awful long because we're already at the top
-
of the hour. So but yes, you saw something. You
-
caught that really clearly. So anyway, moving on, we need
-
to jump down to First Peter chapter one, which once
-
again this is going back to G thirty eighty four.
-
I'm sorry I did these out of order, but anyway,
-
sometimes you know what, It is quite clear that I
-
made this document in order. It was quite clear that
-
my thoughts had walked this path. It's quite clear that
-
I wanted you to know what God's word actually says.
-
That's why I made this document for you, And the
-
only thing I can say is everything is beautiful, and
-
it's time and tonight. It is proof that God wanted
-
me to deliver things in the order that I did,
-
and I am a victim to that spirit crying within me. Ah,
-
a Father, It's obvious that my brain clanned out a
-
roadmap for me. Right. Everybody can attest to that. You're
-
sitting here looking at the document, and I'm sure that
-
everyone was confused when I started jumping around when I
-
did not mean to jump between Greek words. That was
-
never my intention. So let's talk about first Peter, Chapter one,
-
verses thirteen through twenty one. Therefore, gird up the loins
-
of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully
-
on the grace that is to be brought to you
-
at revelation of Jesus Christ. Wow, let me ask everybody something.
-
When is the revelation of Jesus Christ in relationship to
-
the tribulation? When is this somebody tammy? When is the
-
revelation of Jesus Christ during the birth things? No, tammy,
-
absolutely not. The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ is
-
when he returns at the end of the tribulation.
-
Oh, I thought you meant the book wouldn't have the start.
-
Uh right, that just frew right over your head, didn't it.
-
Yeah, I thought, okay, what size of red book of
-
How did that start?
-
Again? Oh? Yeah, he's talking about Okay, let's ask Sherry
-
just to be sure, Sherry, when is the revelation of
-
Jesus Christ? When does that happen on the timeline? Well,
-
I would have said when he returned. That's right, that's right, Sherry.
-
Thank you for thank you for clarifying. Yes, this happens
-
at the end of the tribulation. It's before the millennial
-
reign of Christ. So you obviously need to know that
-
right now because the majority of churches in the West
-
are one of two things. They're either dispensationalist or preyerist.
-
The preterists say you're in the millennial reign of Christ
-
right now. The dispensationalists say, I don't need to go
-
into links as to what they say. They say that
-
you're going to be raptured before this event. There's only
-
one return of the Lord Jesus Christ that is at
-
the end of the tribulation, and it is before the
-
literal millennial reign of Christ. That's when it is. I
-
stopped here for a reason because everything else that I read.
-
If you don't know that, you're just going to confuse yourself,
-
and I will never be able to untangle your mind.
-
You need to know this first verse first. Therefore, gird
-
up your loins of your mind, be sober, and rest
-
your hope fully on the grace that is to be
-
brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Yes
-
he is bringing his recompense with him. He's bringing his
-
reward with him. Yes he is. Yes, he is moving
-
on as obedient children, not confirming yourselves to the former
-
lust as in your ignorance. I am literally saying the
-
same thing I've already said. He is literally repeating himself
-
using different words. He is saying, you have been loosed
-
from the addiction of the forbidden fruit. That's what he
-
just said. He just said it a different way. I'm
-
sorry for interrupting God's word verse fifteen.
-
But as he who called you is holy, you also
-
be holy in all your conduct, because it is written,
-
be holy, for I am holy. And if you call
-
on the Father, who without partiality judgess according to each
-
one's work conduct yourself throughout.
-
The time of your stay here in fear. Now they
-
all realize I told you to memorize that verse. You
-
all better memorize it. I mean you'd understand that wasn't
-
me preaching. I was just reading God's word, That's all
-
I was doing Verse eighteen. Knowing that you were not
-
redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from your
-
aimless conduct, received by tradition from your father's but with
-
the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb, without
-
blemish and without spot He indeed has fore ordained before
-
the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these
-
last times for you who through Him, through him believing God,
-
who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
-
so that your faith and hope are in God. Ladies
-
and gentlemen. I can't preach that. You can't say that
-
any better in any tongue. You can't say that any better.
-
You can't say it any better. You have been loosed,
-
You have been redeemed from your addiction to the forbidden fruit.
-
What is it that purchased you? What is it that
-
ransomed you from well? I told you the big two right,
-
ungodliness and worldly lust. What currency was used to free
-
you from that bondage? The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
That's what did it. Then one aspect, what is it
-
talking about here? Which land did he perform? What happened here?
-
What is it talking about out? This is talking about
-
the Passover lamb. You know, many people who get into
-
Bible study, especially Hebrew Bible study, sometimes they go down
-
the road they can't come back from them. They they
-
start studying the Hebrew side of things, and they get
-
familiar with the Judaist, and all of a sudden, through
-
some rhyme, some mechination, they begin to think that the
-
Lord Jesus Christ was you know, the sacrifice on jong Kapoor. No, No,
-
he wasn't. Every single year in the fall. They go
-
on and on and on and on and on about
-
the fall East, ladies and gentlemen, Jesus Christ was sacrificed
-
on Passover. Yes he was. You need to know you
-
have been redeemed. Write these things down. If you're listening
-
to this and the archive, write these things down. B.
-
Eighteen oh five, Singlations chapter four. It's Anyphisions chapter five.
-
It's in Colossians chapter four, G. Thirty eighty four is
-
in Luke twenty four, Titus two and one Peter chapter one,
-
and you combine the usages here. The message that's being
-
related is you've been loosed from your addiction to the
-
forbidden fruit that you received, that you acquired in the
-
Garden of Eden, and only the blood of Christ can
-
save you from that ungodly desire to perform your worldly lust.
-
Now you're thinking in your mind that the word lust
-
is associating with sexual connotations. No, it's not those of
-
you who cheat on your taxes. It's your worldly lust
-
to keep that money that you think you made in
-
your pocket. So it's lust by way of desire. Something
-
just drives you to rebel against God. I mean, look,
-
I'm going to tell you this in plain English. Thou
-
shalt not lie. You shall not lie. The Bible is
-
very clear, The Book of Revelation is very clear. No
-
liar will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. You need to
-
know what freed you from from the addiction of lying,
-
what freed you from the addiction of stealing. You need
-
to know what freed you from the addiction to ungodliness
-
and worldly lust, worldly pleasure, worldly desire. It was the
-
Passover Lamb, and I'm here to tell you you need
-
to know that this translates to the end of days.
-
You need to know that. Now all of you are
-
so unfamiliar with the Bible, God's Holy Word that it's
-
amazing to me. But I need to tell you this.
-
The passover Land facilitated protection against the wrath of God,
-
and I mean the wrath of God the Father, and
-
everybody knows that, and you need to know just like
-
He executed the first passover, he himself says. Look, I
-
can't go on at length about this because I'm already
-
pushing the time to the limit. But you need to
-
know that it's the Great day of the Lord that's
-
going to start the tribulation, and I'm sorry you are
-
going to go through it. There is no exit stage left.
-
If you are alive at the onset of the birth pains,
-
you better buckle up, and I'm going to tell you
-
the truth. On the great day of He who setteth
-
upon the throne, the only thing that's going to save
-
you is the blood of the ass over Land, the
-
blood of our world Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
-
I know you've heard everything else under the sun, but
-
I'm here to tell you the verses I gave you tonight.
-
You know, when I was a teenager, I had to
-
memorize all these stanzas. There's just you know, there's just
-
six scriptures here. It's not that hard. Any six year
-
old can memorize any of these verses. Take note, what
-
was the longest passage that I gave? How many verses?
-
Everybody scrambling right now, Let's take a look at the
-
first one. It is Galatians four one through seven. I
-
mean this should be pretty easy, right, I mean, not
-
hard at all. Seven verses here. I'm telling you any
-
six year old can memorize this because I have taught
-
every age group. I've taught every age group of Sunday School,
-
and I always taught not only not only the primary
-
age group. I also taught this in junior Church, which
-
covered all the age group, because I had all the
-
kids that wants you think in your mind, this is hard.
-
It's only seven verses long. If you memorize this two
-
verses at a time, it's not hard at all. Within
-
one week, within seven days, a six year old can
-
memorize this. And I'm telling you, if you have children
-
or grandchildren. You better start. You better start, because if
-
you train up a child in the way they should go,
-
when they are older, they will not depart from it.
-
And you need to harken to my voice. The last
-
thing on earth you need to do is buy your
-
grandkids the latest Xbox game. You are damning that child,
-
that's what you're doing. I'm telling you. If you have children,
-
if you have grandchildren, I'm just telling you, the best
-
thing you could do would be have them memorize these
-
six passages of Scripture over the next six weeks. And
-
if you do, when they are older, they will not
-
depart from it. It will be ingrained in them, just
-
like it's ingrained in me. My mother saturated my sight
-
with the Bible, God's holy Word. You cannot take it
-
from me. You can't. I have forgotten more verses than
-
most people know at present moment. It's not hard to do. Okay,
-
closing questions, anybody anybody got questions now that I jumped
-
around and covered multiple Don't even ask me what I
-
was doing anyway, any questions. Everybody's dead silent.
-
That's a first.
-
Yeah, that's that's a first. That's a first. But I'm
-
glad that that Jenny had us do. This meeks very
-
simple message. But you know this said things here that
-
it says things here that need to be said because
-
it removes your emotions out of the equation. You read
-
these verses and there's no mistaking the godly for the ungodly.
-
There's there's no mistaking, there's no there's no mistaking what
-
a child of the promise is and the children of disobedience.
-
There's no mistaking those two groups. So if nobody has
-
further discussion on it, who's going to pray us out
-
of here? Well? I can pray Okay, very good.
-
Hey, Father, thank you so much for sending your son
-
Jesus to redeem us so that we can be with
-
you and be airs with with Christ and be I'm
-

-

-
