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 is a part two of The Dissension and
-
the Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. In part one we discussed the dissension
-
of the Son of God. Now we're going to get to part two and
-
talk about the ascension of God the Son. It's this action that switches around
-
the appropriate title of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now this ties in to another
-
phraseology associated with the Lord Jesus Christ in that part that he is called our
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Now this and Greek, you need to understand what he's
-
saying in Hebrew is that Jesus is both I don't know and musiak he is
-
both Lord and Savior. This is in reference to two different types of rulers
-
over God's children called the children of Israel. So take note. This is
-
why that the Hebraist and most certainly this stems from the Judaist. The simple
-
fact that there are two messiahs that are expected from the Jews. One is
-
the Messiah son of David. One is the Messiah son of Joseph. And
-
you need to know that comes from Ezekiel's prophecy the two Sticks. You can
-
interchange Judah and David, because David was from the tribe of Judah. You
-
can also interchange Joseph for manassa same thing. God is doing mechanisms at play
-
here. So we're going to start out from where we began last time Ephesians
-
chapter four Versus deven and through ten. But to each one of us grace
-
was given according to the measure of Christ's gifts. Therefore, it says,
-
when he ascended on high, he led captive a host of captives, and
-
he gave gifts to men. Now this expression he ascended, what does it
-
mean except that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth. He
-
who descended is himself also he who ascended far above the heavens, so that
-
He might fill all things. So here's this mechanism where it says that God
-
and God alone not only came down, he also is the only one that
-
went back up to that point of origin. And let's make this perfectly clear.
-
This point of origin is pairmount to the case. So we're not just
-
talking about the rise and the fall of angels, which is seen many times
-
in scripture. And of course we even know that one time a sacrifice was
-
made and an angel jumped in the fire and ascended to heaven. Right,
-
that's not exactly the mechanation that we're talking about. Twice in scripture John thirteen,
-
verse three and John sixteen, verse twenty eight, Jesus alone stated that
-
he came from the Father. That is to say, when you look at
-
this at the Hebrew and Geeki realized he's saying that they occupied the same space.
-
That's what's really being stated here. But from the ESV. We're gonna
-
switch up today's study a little bit. Everybody knows that the mainstay of this
-
ministry is the New American Standard Bible, the nineteen ninety five update. But
-
that is to say, you can use any of the various translations. So
-
we're going to take this where Jesus made perfectly clear his point of origin from
-
the English Standard version John thirteen, verse three. Jesus, knowing that the
-
Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from
-
God and was going back to God. So here you have to understand,
-
this is outside the realm of the angelic. Yes, angels do come from
-
heaven to earth and then they return once their assigned duties have been completed.
-
However, this is saying that Jesus' point of origin was God, not Heaven.
-
He was saying that his origin was God. Let me see that again.
-
These verses in Greek says that Jesus' point of origin is God, Heaven.
-
Okay, so that's very important that you see that. And next in
-
John chapter sixteen, verse twenty eight, I came from the Father and have
-
come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going back
-
to the Father. Here again, Heaven's never mentioned. He's saying, my
-
point of origin is the Father. That's what he's saying. That's what he's
-
saying. This is of pirmount importance that you understand that once he did this,
-
he is God the Son. He's no longer the Son of God.
-
I know, that's a lot for you to take in. That's a lot
-
to take in. It. You must expand the borders of your finite mind.
-
You have to take it into the infinite reality of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Once again, let's say that in Hebrew, I don'tny Yeshuah hamasiak Lord
-
and Savior Jesus. Remember that Christ in Greek that is Messiah, that that
-
is anointed. So that's why it says the Lord Jesus and then Christ.
-
So this translated from Greek to Hebrew would be this. So the Lord as
-
we see it, that would be I don't and then Jesus' name Yeshua,
-
and then Messiah. What what we say Christ is from the Greek, that's
-
that's Christ dosed, Well, what is that in Hebrew? That's Messiah.
-
That's my sek that's what that is. That is I'm gonna say the Lord,
-
I don't ni, Jesus the Savior. That's what it is. You
-
have to realize that this makes him God the Son, and the only mechanism
-
that you have to connect who that power source that he is the father of
-
all creation is through God the Son. You have to start switching these things
-
in your mind, and you have to understand how very important it is that
-
you begin to cry out in Christ Jesus. Let me say that again,
-
these verses here from John thirteen three and sixteen twenty eight. The mechanism behind
-
it is so that you know you need to pray in Christ Jesus, in
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know y shuah hamashiak or however different way.
-
I mean, there's many different viewdaists that want to pronounce that differently.
-
You know you're ua or look, we're not going to go down that road.
-
You just need to know what the mechanism behind it is. The Lord
-
Jesus the Savior. He is both the Lord because he is from Judah and
-
David. He is also the Savior, being from both Joseph and Ephreom.
-
You need to know that he is the Lord and the Savior. He is
-
both the King and the priest. That's what this mechanism is going on,
-
and it is critically important that you understand. This is why you need to
-
realize that. This is why Jesus stated on many occasions that he and the
-
Father had the same point of question, because he did this twice and particularly
-
quoting from the same exact verse. Although most people when they look at these
-
cross references, they have only the cross reference to Exodust three verse fourteen,
-
and only one of these references, and that is the first reference. Now
-
I haven't given you the references yet. I know that I am quite capable
-
of creating information overloads. So you need to get things to write with and
-
things to write on, because I could rapid fire to you the word of
-
God, just rapid fire it to you, and it creates, well,
-
it creates information overloads. So for now you need to know that this story,
-
these these two episodes, this series is a cue part. I don't
-
know, perhaps it may have to go to three, but you need to
-
know that the event horizon for this idea is Ephisions chapter four, verses seven
-
through ten. Okay, Ephisians chapter four seven through ten, where Christ states
-
that his point of origin is God. The Father is John thirteen, verse
-
three and John sixteen, verse twenty eight. And we'll get to those other
-
references here in a minute. Let's move on to where the New Testament emphatically
-
describes this type of mechanism. What happened and Jesus went back to the Father,
-
not back to heaven. Now we can all know with clarity and certainty
-
that when the archangel Michael goes back to Heaven, he goes back to his
-
original place. He hasn't moved in position or authority. The same thing with
-
the angel Gabriel. Gabriel came, he had a fight, duked it out
-
with the Prince of Persia. When he went back to heaven, it had
-
not changed his rank, his title, his place. None of those things
-
happen. But what does Ephsions the first chapter, verses fifteen through twenty three
-
say. What does it say what happened to the Son of God once he
-
ascended back to the Father, thus becoming God the Son. For this reason,
-
I, too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which
-
exists among you and your faith for all the saints, do not cease giving
-
thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers, that the
-
God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give
-
you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him. I
-
pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will
-
know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the
-
glory in his inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of
-
his power toward us who believe these are in accordance with the working of the
-
strength of His might, which he brought about in Christ when he raised him
-
from the dead and seated him at the right hand in the heavenly places,
-
far above all rule and authority, and power and dominion and every name that
-
is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
-
And he put all things in subjugation under his feet and gave him as
-
head over all things to the Church, which is his body, the fullness
-
of Him who feels all in all that states it sincly, Jesus Christ descended
-
from God the Father, and when he ascended back to that point of origin
-
of God the Father, he transcended all sort of angels that are in heaven.
-
It gave you a list here of names of particular angels. And you
-
need to know that's what the Greek is doing here. That's what the mechanism
-
is behind this. It states, for above all rule, that's an angelic
-
rank of ruler, and it just gives you a list here. The next
-
one is authority, that's the authorities, that's a rank, and power and
-
dominion those are different ranks of angels. When Christ ascended when he went back
-
up to his point of origin. It's telling you that in the ascension and
-
occupation of that point of that a bit horizon, being the Creator, he
-
was put above all things that are in heaven. So he not only went
-
back through heaven, he went back to a particular place in heaven, that
-
place being the event horizon of the Creator itself. He was placed above everything.
-
It is paramount that you understand. This is why the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
when he taught you how to pray, he began with including himself.
-
When I say this, it usually takes a while for people's mind to expand
-
out to the proper place where it should be the infinity of Christ for them
-
to understand. Oh, that's why he did. He's literally saying our Father.
-
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is why the Lord Jesus Christ taught
-
his disciples to pray. Now, when you pray, you need to say
-
our Father. He was referencing you personally and himself Jesus Christ. Us pray
-
to your collective father, God, the Father, and you must do that
-
in inclusion of the Lord Jesus Christ. So when you pray, the Lord's
-
prayer when you say our Father, you're not meaning yourself and myself. That's
-
not what you're meaning. When you say, our Father, which are in
-
heaven, how lowd be thy name, Thy kingdom, Come, Thy will
-
be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day or
-
daily bread. And forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trustpassed
-
against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
-
For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever all men.
-
When you say that, you praying from the vintage point that the Father
-
is the father of the Lord, Jesus Christ and yourself, not you and
-
all other Christians. It's you at Jesus. That's what the hour comes from
-
our Father, which are in heaven. Jesus went back to that point,
-
not just any location in heaven. He went back to the event horizon of
-
God, the Father, the Creator. That's what he did. So when
-
you pray, you need to pray in both the Lord. Remember Hebrew.
-
That's I don't know. I don't I've been David. He's the ruler that
-
comes from the tribe of Judah. I don't I've been David, And and
-
Mamasiak been Joseph the Savior. From Joseph, only the Lord Jesus Christ could
-
be both, and in order to be both, he had to go back
-
to the event horizon. The event horizon for creation is the creator, Ladies
-
and gentlemen. What the Greek is saying here, which is one of the
-
most complex languages you could ever get your hands on, is the coin in
-
the Greek this was written in. Now you need to understand that modern Greek
-
has been so terribly dumbed down. It's ridiculous. This is fantastically complicated.
-
And what this is saying is that both Heaven and Earth had an event horizon
-
that was the creator. It was the creatorture which created both Heaven and the
-
families that are in Heaven and Earth and the families that are on the Earth.
-
They came from the same exact location. And you need to know that.
-
You need to understand that's the mechanism behind it. He's saying that you're
-
coming from an event horizon. Massively important that you know that. Now this
-
phraseology is coming of course from Ephysions chapter three, verses fourteen and fifteen.
-
We know this is the case. Listen very carefully. For this reason,
-
I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and
-
Earth is aimed. These two versus just loudly declared that there are families of
-
angels in heaven, okay, which are Seraphim, Cherubim, rulers, authorities,
-
hours, dominions. And there's also families on Earth. Those families are
-
well, they're Americans, they're Grits, they're Irish, they're Russian. Many
-
different families on Earth and families in Heaven. The event horizons for all of
-
these families, whether in Heaven or on Earth, is the Father. The
-
Father is the event horizon. It is of paramountain importance that you know you
-
need to begin to implement the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. What is
-
that in Hebrew? Do you know what that's in Hebrew? Because it is
-
increasingly important. But I'm not going to talk about that right now because I
-
don't want to push over into the realm of well Judaism. I'm not trying
-
to turn you into a Judaist. That's not what I'm trying to do.
-
I'm trying to convert you from the Hebrew roots heresies. I'm trying to convert
-
you from dispensationalism. I'm trying to convert you from criticism. I'm trying to
-
convert you into being a Christian. You need to be in the name of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God the Sun. When he descended and
-
performed his ministry for three and a half years, he was the son of
-
God. Now that he ascended, and we are waiting for the last three
-
and a half years of that covenant that he made, he will execute that
-
as God the Son. Completely different thing. And you need to understand how
-
wonderful this is. Is this the only time that the Bible lays out this
-
sort of machination. No. We can also go to First Peter chapter three,
-
verses eighteen through twenty two. For Christ also died for sins, once
-
for all the just, for the unjust, so that he might bring us
-
to God God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made
-
a lie in the spirit, in which he also went and made proclamation to
-
the spirits now in prison, who are once disobedience, When the patience of
-
God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the Ark,
-
in which a few, that is, eight persons were brought safely through
-
the water. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you not through removal of
-
dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through
-
the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God,
-
having gone into heaven after angels and authorities and powers have been subjected to him.
-
This subjected to him. You need to understand what this just said.
-
It reiterated the same thing. The Lord Jesus Christ did not just defend into
-
heaven. He ascended back to the event horizon of the creator of all of
-
creation, both the heavens that have been created and the earth that has been
-
created. He went back to the event horizon of the Father. He said
-
this more than once. Let's go to the first reference that I afore mentioned
-
to you, where Christ is really quoting from Exodus, chapter three, verse
-
fourteen. He does this twice. Actually, but you have to be familiar
-
with the Bible source code. What's the Bible source code. It is both
-
the Hebraica and the Hellenica. It's two things. It's a binary code.
-
It is written in both Greek and Hebrew. Yes it is. And if
-
you can't get a hold of the Hellenica, the Bible, God's Holy Word
-
as it is written in the coinity at Greek. You can't see this.
-
You think, well, that's a different that's a different word. Well,
-
in Greek it is fantastically complicated. It is an exacting language. And if
-
you're going to say a thing, switching it from singular to plural, it
-
is such a highly complicated matter that it can switch words. And if you
-
switch words, you switch strong numbers associated with those words, and it'll go
-
right over your head. It'll go right over your head if you don't know
-
what you're looking for. So thak. Note the first time this is used
-
in John chapter eight, verse fifty eight. We all know this famous quote
-
where Jesus says before Abraham was born, I am before Abraham was born,
-
and then he uses this infamous phrase I am. This is directly quoting from
-
Exodus chapter three, verse fourteen, using the same exact phraseology everything the English
-
Standard version. It says God said to Moses, I am who I am,
-
And he said, say to the people of Israel, i AM has
-
sent me to you. Here Jesus is saying I am. He does the
-
same exact thing in John chapter ten, verse thirty one. Only you have
-
to know the Hellenica to be able to see what's going on. Yes,
-
you do. If you can't punch the Bible source code and get to what
-
God is actually saying, you're not gonna be able to catch it. You
-
just won't. It's the important that you are able to do this. So
-
let's get to John the tenth chapter. Please, if you're flipping through your
-
Bibles, it is John chapter ten and verse thirty one. We're going to
-
take a look at this and the original Greek, we're going to see really
-
what this is coming from. Actually verse thirty not thirty one. It says
-
I and the Father are one. What is this? Let's tear this apart.
-
In the Greek. I'm gonna take that note when he says I okay
-
I, that is G. Fourteen seventy three, and yes, that is
-
what it is. In the Hebrew it means me I. The next phraseology
-
that he uses there is G. Twenty seventy are one. That's really not
-
a proper translation. That really means you exist, I and the Father exist.
-
That's the proper translation. You need to know what because this in this
-
verse. Okay, this in this verse, you have to understand the case
-
and form of what we're talking about here, Ladies and gentlemen, you need
-
to realize what's going on behind the mechanism. And this is this here in
-
John, I and the Father are one is first person plural. Let me
-
say that again. It's first person plural because he's saying I and the Father
-
all exist. Be the proper translation, will exist. That's what he's saying,
-
I and the Father will exist. Were at the same place. Now
-
take note, how is this coming from? Exis chapter three, verse fourteen,
-
because you have to understand there, when God says I am, he
-
does the same thing. He uses I in the Greek G. Fourteen seventy
-
three. Then he uses G fifteen ten. Why would he do that?
-
Why would he do that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, you need understand
-
where these words come from. You have to understand where they come from.
-
Because, ladies and gentlemen, this word here in the Exodus chapter three,
-
verse fourteen is G fifteen ten. It's G fifteen ten. This is is
-
the event horizon for what's used in John chapter ten, verse thirty, because
-
what that is G twenty seventy. It is just the first person plural indicative
-
of fifteen ten. Let me say that again. In Exes chapter three,
-
verse fifteen, there's not two people mentioned, just one. So God says
-
I am or exist, I exist. That's G fifteen ten. That's G
-
fifteen ten, And it's in that case as if it's first person. Yes,
-
it's first person, ladies and gentlemen, you need to know that.
-
But in John chapter ten, verse thirty, it's plural, so you need
-
to understand that G twenty seventy. I'm going to say it again. It
-
is the first person plural indicative of G fifteen ten. This is how Jesus
-
is quoting one once again. In John chapter ten, verse thirty one.
-
He is quoting from Ectodus chapter three, verse fourteen. He even puts it
-
in that he must put it in the plural indicative case form because he's saying,
-
I am the Father coexist. Greek is such a complicated language. This
-
takes two different words. It takes write these numbers down G fifteen ten.
-
That's used in the singular God said I exist, I am. But in
-
John chapter ten, verse thirty, Jesus also mentions the father. So he
-
said I am the Father. That means it must be changed, and that
-
word is changed from fifteen ten into G. Twenty seventy, which is what
-
let me say it again, what that is. It's very important that you
-
write these things down. You need to write them down. G. Twenty
-
seventy comes from that word G. Fifteen ten. Both of these verses,
-
John eight fifty eight and John ten thirty one are both quoting from Exodus chapter
-
three, verse fourteen. It's just its different case form in the Greek.
-
So Jesus had to switch down. Jesus had to switch this up. He
-
had to switch the case in form to make a proper statement, and he
-
was saying I am, but he had to add to that statement. It
-
changes the case form of the word. So it goes from G. Fifteen
-
ten seventy. Write these things down literally, it's being stated here and John
-
chapter ten, verse thirty is I and the Father coexist. That's what it's
-
really saying. This is of paramount importance that you're able to understand these things
-
as we move forward from where we currently are into the birth pains. This
-
is of paramountain importance, especially from when we move from the time of the
-
birth pains into the time of the Great Tribulation. You need to understand that
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, he didn't go back to Heaven. He went back
-
to the event horizon of God, the Father. She went to the the
-
right hand of the Father. He's not hanging out with Michael. He didn't
-
return to a station, whatever that station is. That Gabriel has none of
-
those things. He went back to the event horizon. He went back to
-
the creed ador, he went back to the Creator. How do I know
-
this? How can we expand upon these ideas? Because it's literally all over
-
the New Testament. Let's talk about Acts Chapter twenty, verse twenty eight.
-
Be shepherds of the Church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
-
Don't you understand who this's talking about. This just said Jesus is God.
-
It just said Jesus is God. Let me read it for you one
-
more time. Be shepherds of the Church of God, which he bought with
-
his own blood. This is a clear and sing reference to the crucifixion of
-
Christ, and it is saying that the God of the Church is the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Now take note first Peter chapter one, verse one also states
-
the same type of mechanism, and it blows me away. How most people
-
will not quote from this, Well, you know, the Bible doesn't come
-
out and say that Jesus is God. Oh really, the Bible does not
-
come out and say that Jesus is God. Really, that's really what's going
-
on here. Well, they're obviously not familiar with the texts. I mean,
-
they're just not They're just not looking at the texts. Because there can
-
be no mistakes that this is stated more than once in the scripture. It
-
stated more than once in the scripture. This idea is all over the place.
-
It's literally all over the place. You cannot escape it. But most
-
people just can't see it because they're not familiar enough with the text at hand.
-
They have just they're so unfamiliar with the text that just blows you away.
-
And ladies and gentlemen, it's moving forward. You need to have these
-
things down at You need to understand what is happening. You have got to
-
come to grips with what's happening. This is just no joke. For example,
-
let's go to the English Standard version of tewod Peter, Chapter one,
-
verse one. Simon Peter a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ to those who
-
have obtained faith of equal standing with us with ours by the righteousness of our
-
God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Here it just said it. It said
-
Jesus was both God and Savior. And here once again in the Hebrews using
-
those types of phraseology, letting you know that he's God and Savior. Jesus
-
Christ did not just go back to the Cherubim. He didn't go back to
-
the Seraphim. He didn't go back to Michael. He didn't go back to
-
the angels. He didn't go back to the angels. He went back to
-
God because he is God the Son. Repeat after me, the Lord,
-
Jesus Christ is God the Son. Most people right now in the West,
-
in their prayer lives, they do not proclaim that Jesus is God the Son.
-
They don't do it for some reason. They always pray and will in
-
their prayers or put forth their partitions in the name of Jesus the Son of
-
God. No, no, no, no, no no. He went
-
back to the event horizon. He is God the Sun. Now that's what
-
he is. Now, well, we've got twenty minutes to go. You
-
need to know that this word here in the Greek to ascend. We talked
-
about what it is to descend in the Greek in our part one, that
-
is G. Twenty five ninety seven pad to byo pa bino To ascend is
-
anna fino esna bino to as sin it is G. Three oh five.
-
It comes together in the very next chapter that we covered last week. Last
-
week we covered four kata byoh we covered John chapter six. If you go
-
there in the very next chapters, there four times twice in one verse.
-
It's in verse eight, it's twice in verse ten, and it's in verse
-
fourteen. These chapters are coming together and culminating in the perfect windows of opportunity.
-
And take note. For part one, we had to cover a certain
-
section in Zachariah chapter nine, verses eleven through seventeen, because that is where
-
the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned is covenant, this covenant of his blood. Take
-
note, John chapter seven is going to get it's event horizon. Also from
-
the book of Zachariah, most particularly Zachariah chapter fourteen, verses sixteen or nineteen.
-
I know I'm quoting a lot of chapters and verses. You're going to
-
have to get something to write with and something to write on, and write
-
it down quickly, write it down quickly. So we're going to be I
-
have chosen to do you know this part in the New King James version.
-
Why no other reason than the simple fact that this is a translation. It
-
is a very good translation, utilizing the Aditdo Regia. What is the a
-
The Addo Regia is the only manuscript that you get the chapters and verses from
-
God has literally pointed out to the whole world, especially at the time when
-
he did it. This is the New Testament. There is no Texas Receptus,
-
all the different kind of Greek. No, there's just one that which
-
the Church in its entirety adapted all the chapters and verses from. That's the
-
addital Regima. So without a mind, when you go to do your personal
-
Bible study for these chapters and verses, if you're not looking at the Greek
-
manuscript, the Addital Regia, you're not doing yourself any good. You're wasting
-
your time. But anyway, today we're reading from the New King James version.
-
Boy, I don't have much time left, but I need to make
-
sure that you understand this event Horizon being from the book of Zachariah's from the
-
Feast of Boose also called ah Yes, the feast of in Gathering. It's
-
of paramount importance. It culminates in one chapter in the Gospels. That's right,
-
John chapter seven, John chapter seven, starting in verse one. After
-
these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk
-
in Judea because the Jew sought to kill him. Now the Jew's feast of
-
Tabernacles was at hand. His brothers therefore said to him, depart from here
-
and go into Judea, that your disciples may also see the works that you
-
are doing. For no one does anything in secret, while he himself seeks
-
to known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
-
For even his brothers did not believe him. Then Jesus said to them,
-
my time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
-
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it
-
that its works are evil. You go up here, and a bino to
-
go up. You go up to this feast. I am not yet going
-
up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come. And
-
when he had said these things to them. He remained in Galilee, but
-
his brothers had gone up there. It is and a bino again, it's
-
just used repeatedly through this text. Then he also and a bino, went
-
up to the feast, not open, but as it were, in secret.
-
Then the Jews saw him at the feast and said where is he?
-
And there was much complaining among the people concerning him. Some said he is
-
good, others said no, on the contrary, he deceives the people.
-
However, no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. Now
-
about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up and a bino there we
-
go again into the temple and taught, and the Jews marveled, saying,
-
how does this man know letters? Having never studied. Jesus answered him and
-
said, my doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. Here
-
Again, Jesus is saying, my event horizon is the Creator. That's what
-
he's actually saying here. He's saying what I am saying is coming from the
-
Creator. Its origin is not in creation, not the creation of heaven nor
-
the creation of earth. This is what he's saying Verse seventeen. If anyone
-
wills to do his will. He shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it
-
is from God or whether I speak from my own authority. He who speaks
-
from himself seeks his own glory, But he who seeks the glory of the
-
one who said him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did
-
not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law?
-
Why do you seek to kill me? The people answered and said, you
-
have a demon who is seeking to kill you. Jesus answered and said of
-
them, I did one work, and you all marvel. Moses therefore gave
-
you circumcision that is not from Moses, but from the Fathers. And you
-
circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man received circumcision on the Sabbath,
-
so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you anger
-
with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath. Do not
-
judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. So it's from here
-
that the people really begin to come at odds with Jesus. And take note,
-
this text was very clear that he went up in the middle in the
-
midst of the week. Ladies and gentlemen, you need to know that this
-
is the week verse fourteen. We'll read it from the New American Standard Bible.
-
But when it was in the midst of the feast, Jesus went up
-
to the temple and began to teach ladies and gentlemen. This is prophetically laying
-
out to you the Feast of Tabernacles, which is quoted, which is defined
-
how it's going to be in the millennial reign of Christ in Sachariah chapter fourteen,
-
verses sixteen through nineteen. It is of paramount importance that you understand that
-
this feast has two different names. Actually it is the Feast of Tabernacles.
-
It is also called in the Bible God Holy Word, the Feast of in
-
Gathering, the feast of the in Gathering. I'm going to read a little
-
bit here about the Feast of Tabernacles. It begins with a holy convocation or
-
a Sabbath day, and the Israelite orders stop working and to set aside the
-
day for worshiping God. On each day of the feast they were to offer
-
an offering made by fire to the Lord, and then after seven days of
-
feasting again, the eighth day was to be another holy convocation when they were
-
to cease from work and offer sacrifice to God. So it lasted eight days.
-
The feast of Tabernacle begins and ends with the Sabbath day of rest.
-
During the eight days of the feast, the Israelites would dwell in booths or
-
tabernacles that were made from the branches of trees. So you need to understand
-
this mechanism here is also at play in this text, even though we haven't
-
read all the way to the end of it, because it does come up
-
here and man, there's so much here. Man, boy, there's just
-
so much here we could talk about, but we need to get to Zachariah.
-
You need to understand that this is a perfect window of time that all
-
these things were happening here in John chapter seven and the mentioning of the feast,
-
it's just to me, it's amazing. Let's jump down to verse thirty
-
seven real quick, because it mentions the last day of the feast, the
-
importance of the last day. On the last day, the great day of
-
the feast, Jesus stood out saying, if anyone thirst, let him come
-
to me and drink he who believes in me. As the scripture has said
-
out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But thus he spoke
-
concerning the spirit whom those believing in him would receive, for the Holy Spirit
-
was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Some take note
-
he waited to the last day of the feast to do this, but he
-
was speaking in future tints of a time at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
-
which they had not received. So let's get on. I just needed
-
to point that out to you, that the mechanism of this feast is incredibly
-
important. But let's get to Zachariah chapter fourteen, verses sixteenth through nineteen from
-
the New King James version. And it all came to pass that everyone who
-
has left of all the nations which come against Jerusalem shall go up year to
-
year to worship the King, the Lord of Host, and to keep the
-
feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the
-
earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of
-
Host, on them there will be no rain. If a family of Egypt
-
will not come and enter in, they will have no rain. They shall
-
receive a plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up
-
to the feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the
-
punishment of all the nations that do not come to keep the feast of Tabernacles.
-
Boy, this is pretty important and one of the very first things that
-
you need to understand that this is in direct correlation with John chapter seven and
-
the Lord Jesus Christ ascending back to the Creator, back to the event horizon,
-
not just any place in heaven. This is the ascension of God the
-
Son. He is God the Son. He is no longer the Son of
-
God that operated in the past tense. He is now post ascension. He
-
is God the Son. He occupies the event horizon. He's at the right
-
hand of the Father. Nothing else can take this position. Michael, the
-
archangel cannot occupy the right hand of the Father. Gabriel as exalted of an
-
angel, is he as he is being the angel of you know, the
-
proclamation of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is not occupying the
-
right hand of the Father. He is not at the event horizon. The
-
Lord Jesus Christ alone is both I don'ty and mushiak. He's alone is both
-
Lord and Messiah. This is what the scripture is loudly proclaiming, and this
-
is what you need to get a hold of. You need to implement this
-
in not only your body and your mind, but also in your spirit.
-
This ties directly into First Thesalonians, chapter five, verse twenty three in the
-
Greek Soma psyche numa. You need to implement the Lord Jesus Christ into these
-
things understanding. You need to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. You need
-
to pray from the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Boy, I've mentioned
-
a whole lot of scriptures in this episode. I've literally rapid fire all sorts
-
of scriptures to you, and I didn't even cover half as many as I
-
could have. I know that's just enough to blow your mind. You know,
-
I need to point something else out to you. Concerning John chapter five
-
and verse twenty Let's read this out of the revised Geneva translation, which I
-
strongly suggest all of you get a copy of. If you would like a
-
copy, send me a message, and I have gotten them on book I
-
can get you a copy. Not only that, with the copy, I
-
will also send you a copy of the Lexum English, step Dielogen. You
-
put these two together, and you have, as far as the English goes,
-
a complete Hellenica, a complete he a complete Greek Bible. So anyway,
-
reading from the revised Geneva translation, but we know that the Son of
-
God has come, and it has given us a mind to know him who
-
is true, and we are in him who is true, in his son,
-
Jesus Christ. The same is the very God, that e very God,
-
and that eternal life. Ladies and gentlemen. This just came out and
-
said that Jesus Christ is God and eternal life. That's what it said.
-
Now your translation probably reads differently. I got very tickled when I put this
-
into Google Translate and it actually gave a proper translation. It's that last phrase
-
that you're wanting to look at. But this is how Google Translate translated.
-
We have seen that the Son of God is and that he has given us
-
understanding to know the true One, and we are in the true One,
-
in his son, Jesus Christ, who is the true God and eternal life.
-
Google Translated translated it correctly. This first in Greece is in Greek,
-
is saying that Jesus is God and eternal life. That's what it's saying.
-
But if you get it in varying different translations, it doesn't say that.
-
Now I did find one that did it pretty good. It's called the Disciples
-
Literal New Testament, and it states, for first John chapter five, verse
-
twenty, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given
-
us understanding in order that we might know the true One, and we are
-
in the true One in his son Jesus Christ. This one is the true
-
God and eternal life. So ladies and gentlemen, you need to know that
-
most translations is worded in such a way that you're not getting the full meal
-
deal. Most translations just don't cut it. They just don't get it right.
-
But here first John chapter five, verse twenty, let's try it into
-
KJV. It states this last phrase, this is the true God and eternal
-
life. It's separating it by putting a period between in his son Jesus Christ.
-
Then it puts a period and says, this is the true God and
-
eternal life. No, lady is gentlemen, you need to get to the
-
Greek. That's not what I'm saying. It's saying that his son, the
-
Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now he is God and the
-
only eternal life. He not only is God, he is eternal life.
-
So you need to add this to the verses that I've already given you,
-
which plainly state Jesus is God. Jesus is God. I'm going to say
-
this one more time. If you would like a complete Hellenica, that is
-
to say, a Lexum English Sibscuagint, and a new Testament of the revised
-
Geneva translation. Please get a hold of me and I'll send you these things
-
for completely free. You need to be able to access the Bible, God's
-
Holy Word because it is these things and only these things. It is in
-
fired, it is in errant, and it is infallible. And you need
-
to know that ninety nine point ninety nine of all churches do not proclaim it
-
to be these three things. They don't and you need to know that.
-
Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless and God speed. Thank
-

Now, if you are a God fearing, Bible believing, Gospel preaching Christian,
-
please repeat after me, I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's Holy
-
Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light into
-
my path its words, while I hide in my heart that I might not
-
sin against God.
