Summary:

Plumbing the depths of 1 Peter chapter 1.
An apostle is one sent out or an ambassador from the Kingdom of Heaven to the world or unbelievers.
The message they are to deliver is the Gospel and Torah.
“Strangers” in verse one would be better rendered “sojourners”.
The elect are those who have entered into covenant with YHWH that they will obey all of commandments.
Peter is writing to sojourners (fellow believers) not strangers.
Foreknowledge means that something was known beforehand not that the choice was made for us.
The renaming of Jacob to Israel is an excellent example of the foreknowledge of Elohim.
My past is not without sin but my future can be.
The Spirit that sanctifies is the Holy behavior revealed to us in YHWH’s word, which is the revelation to us of His mind and will.
Our sanctification comes through coming under the covering of Yeshua ha Mashiach and obedience to Torah.
Sprinkling points to Passover but more to day of Atonement.
Grace comes from an idiom pointing to Torah.
The Word is Grace because perfection is found in the Word.
Mercy is a subset of grace and it gets you into the kingdom.
Grace comes when you are perfected as you keep Torah after receiving mercy.
“Lively hope” animates and gives us purpose.
Manifestation only works because the person manifesting lives for it.
Mercy is tied to being “born again.”
Our lively hope is tied to the resurrection of the dead.
The spirits and bodies of those in the Kingdom will be reunited in the resurrection in a perfect state.
SJR 1 Peter 1:5 – The faithful are protected by Torah, trough faith, unto Salvation at the final judgement.
The Son executes the will of the Father. Blessings and cursing come from His hand.
Salvation is different from exaltation, just as justification is different from sanctification.
The lively hope gives us joy and peace in our temptations and trials.
Remember why you entered into “the way” when that which tempts you returns and don’t get discouraged.
Verse 7 – Your faith is shown through your trials, which refine you for sanctification.
Compare verse 7 with Alma 5 questions.
Verse 8 – Imagery for calling and election made sure. This can happen without having seen Yeshua in the flesh.
Verse 9 – The object of our faith is our salvation.
Verse 10 – Prophets have inquired diligently and can instruct us on how to receive grace.
Verse 11 – The word (Spirit) of YHWH testified beforehand the sufferings of the Messiah and the grace to be bestowed. Samson and Jeptha are excellent examples.
Verse 12 – The gospel is preached with the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Torah). Adam is the first example of this. Torah is revealed to people so that they can help others.
Verse 13 – Prepare to work and battle in your mind. Don’t be a drunkard with alcohol or false doctrine. Take the gospel seriously. Maintain your hope.
Verse 14 – Become as obedient children. Compare this to Mosiah 3:16. Torah sets the bounds in which we may safely walk. Tzit-tzits are a reminder to stay within those bounds.
Verse 15 – “Conversation” means how you live not how you talk.
Verse 16 – Be Holy because Yeshua is holy. It brings continual peace. This is better over the long term.
Verse 17 – Compare Psalms 5:5. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Those under the covering of Yeshua are held to a higher standard of behavior. We need to be afraid of ourselves or the natural man.
Verse 18 – We need to leave the vain traditions of our fathers. We were not paid for with money.
Verse 19 – We are redeemed by the blood of the Messiah.
Verse 20 – Our Messiah was foreordained, before the foundation of the world, to be made manifest in the last days. It was an accomplished fact before He came to earth and did it.
Verse 21 – We believe in YHWH through Yeshua. He is the foundation of our hope and trust.
Verse 22 – We purify our souls by obeying the truth (Torah). Unfeigned love for our bretren points to providing for the needs of the poor.
Verse 23 – We are born again by the word of YHWH. Become a new man not an old man with new excuses. Once saved always saved is a lie from hell
Verse 24 – Flesh fades and the glory of man fades. Torah is the glory and power of YHWH.
Verse 25 – Torah abides forever. It doesn’t change. Torah and the gospel is what apostles preach. True apostles don’t teach self-help stuff. The gospel is the good news that Yeshua paid our sin debt if we will follow Him. The gospel is a subset of Torah.
Our hope is in Yeshua. It is not in ourselves. The apostles were charged with making disciples of all nations. A disciple comes under the covering of Yeshua and walks in his way, following in his footsteps in keeping Torah.

Transcript:

00:00:03 So this last Sabbath, Johnny and I were
00:00:09 looking at First Peter chapters 1 and
00:00:13 two. We we went through both chapters.
00:00:16 Tonight we’re Tonight we’re only going
00:00:17 to be going through chapter 1 as a
00:00:20 group, but there was so much in these
00:00:23 chapters that I thought was just so
00:00:28 cool. So, and and I wanted
00:00:32 to go through it as a group with my
00:00:36 friends here
00:00:38 and to and to bring out the depths the
00:00:42 bring out the depths of what’s here.
00:00:46 And so, this is what this is what we’re
00:00:48 going to be uh this is what we’re going
00:00:50 to be talking about is first Peter
00:00:52 chapter 1. Um, this is an epistle of
00:00:56 Peter
00:00:57 uh to the uh
00:01:02 converted Gentiles that are with the
00:01:05 dispersion.
00:01:06 And you’ll find that out in the uh first
00:01:09 verse here
00:01:12 >> as we go into it. So, without further
00:01:14 ado, if I could get
00:01:18 um
00:01:20 let’s see if I could get Andrew
00:01:25 to read verse one
00:01:28 >> and uh and and after he re So, the way
00:01:31 this is going to go,
00:01:33 we’re going to have somebody read a
00:01:36 verse and then we’re going to go and
00:01:38 then then I’m going to pull out what I
00:01:41 want to pull out from it.
00:01:44 And we then we can all and then other
00:01:47 people can if they see other interesting
00:01:50 things they can pull those out as well
00:01:52 because I guarantee you I don’t see
00:01:54 everything.
00:01:56 In fact, it’s uh in fact uh it’s often
00:02:00 pointed out to me how little I do see.
00:02:03 So
00:02:04 um
00:02:06 we so it’ll I think this will be good
00:02:09 for us to discuss together.
00:02:14 So if
00:02:16 >> yes, verse one.
00:02:17 >> Yeah.
00:02:18 >> Peter,
00:02:19 >> Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the
00:02:22 strangers
00:02:24 scattered throughout Pontis,
00:02:27 Galatia,
00:02:30 um, Capidoshia,
00:02:32 Asia,
00:02:34 and
00:02:35 Bethnia.
00:02:37 >> Yes.
00:02:39 Well [clears throat] done you. You said
00:02:40 it. Now um the
00:02:45 first off
00:02:46 >> Peter an apostle of Yeshua Hamashiach.
00:02:51 The word for apostle in Greek is aposto
00:02:56 and the Hebrew equivalent to that is
00:02:59 shelak
00:03:01 which means sent one
00:03:05 >> an ambassador
00:03:07 >> from one kingdom to another from the
00:03:10 kingdom of God to the world from the
00:03:14 kingdom of Elohim to the world.
00:03:18 That is what an apostle is. An apostle
00:03:21 does not stand at a he doesn’t stand at
00:03:24 a pulpit and deliver messages to those
00:03:28 who are already quote unquote of the
00:03:30 kingdom of God.
00:03:32 >> So they’re supposed to go to the
00:03:35 non-believers.
00:03:36 [clears throat]
00:03:37 >> Yes, that is that is correct. Now
00:03:41 >> along with sent out instead of sent in.
00:03:45 >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That that’s
00:03:48 >> that’s crazy.
00:03:49 >> Yeah. And there’s an important thing.
00:03:53 The apostles are ambassadors of the
00:03:56 kingdom of Elohim, the kingdom of heaven
00:04:00 to the world. And so the message that
00:04:03 they are supposed to deliver is that of
00:04:07 the mind and will of their master or
00:04:10 Elohim.
00:04:11 >> Yeah. Uh not their own.
00:04:13 >> Not their own.
00:04:15 >> Okay. So
00:04:16 >> wait, wait a minute before you go. This
00:04:18 is just a minor one. I do want to share
00:04:21 this real quick.
00:04:22 >> Okay.
00:04:24 >> And I I just caught it this time, but
00:04:26 the strangers is better. Sojourers.
00:04:30 >> Um and and and the reason it makes a big
00:04:34 deal to me anyways is when he’s writing
00:04:37 to believers
00:04:39 >> and I would imagine here he’s even
00:04:42 writing to [clears throat] leaders as he
00:04:44 does in other places. Okay. such as
00:04:46 Romans 7.
00:04:47 >> I was actually going to go I was
00:04:49 actually going to look I was actually
00:04:51 going to go to Bible hub here with this
00:04:55 because this strangers
00:04:58 um
00:05:00 >> I think a better translation is
00:05:01 sojourers. So basically
00:05:03 >> so well yes the better translation is
00:05:05 sojourers and when you think about that
00:05:08 in relation to what the law says there
00:05:11 shall be one law for you and for the
00:05:14 sojourer among you and this means not
00:05:17 just native born for nativeorn Israel
00:05:20 and for the gentile converts.
00:05:24 >> Yes. And this is what’s going on here.
00:05:27 Um because stranger sounds like they’re
00:05:29 not brothers, but when you join the
00:05:32 church, you are brothers and sisters.
00:05:35 So,
00:05:35 >> and in fact, let’s go back to the
00:05:38 interlinear real quick.
00:05:40 >> Sure.
00:05:42 >> And there’s some really interesting
00:05:44 things here in this interlinear where it
00:05:47 talks about the the uh sojourer. Let me
00:05:52 I can’t see it very well because I’m
00:05:55 >> uh I can try to zoom. Let’s see.
00:05:59 >> Okay.
00:05:59 >> Is that better?
00:06:01 >> Yes. Uh
00:06:03 to the so to the elect sojourers
00:06:08 of the dispersion
00:06:12 to the elect sojourers dispersed around
00:06:14 these areas.
00:06:17 And it even actually looks like they
00:06:19 left out elect part in the king.
00:06:21 >> Yeah.
00:06:23 >> Yeah. They left out the fact that these
00:06:24 are elect. Now, in order to be elect,
00:06:30 except that they put it in verse two,
00:06:33 but in order to be elect, that means
00:06:35 that one has to have um
00:06:40 >> striving to keep Torah, though. Yeah,
00:06:42 they have to be
00:06:44 >> probably in verse two words that they
00:06:46 put that goes along with there.
00:06:48 >> So basically, you have to enter you have
00:06:51 to enter into covenant to keep Torah and
00:06:53 be striving to do so.
00:06:55 >> Oh, wait a minute. Does that mean that I
00:06:58 do think that means that you have to uh
00:07:02 Well, once you’ve entered into that
00:07:03 covenant, doesn’t that mean you have to
00:07:05 be baptized as a sign that you’ve
00:07:07 entered into that?
00:07:08 >> Oh, yeah.
00:07:10 >> Yes. A and um you’re actually
00:07:14 working on keeping the covenant that you
00:07:16 made rather than being relaxed about it.
00:07:19 >> And that and that’s what makes one a
00:07:22 sojourer with Israel as opposed to
00:07:27 >> a stranger. Yeah.
00:07:28 >> A stranger.
00:07:29 >> Yeah.
00:07:30 >> So I I I I didn’t prepare anything for
00:07:34 that one. Um but I I the reason I have
00:07:37 an issue with it, he’s not writing to
00:07:39 strangers. He’s writing to fellow
00:07:41 believers which goes along with the
00:07:43 sojourers. So yes,
00:07:44 >> correct.
00:07:45 >> Yeah.
00:07:46 >> Which we find which we find that the
00:07:50 actual uh that the actual um man the
00:07:54 actual manuscript here backs up
00:07:57 sojourers over strangers.
00:08:01 >> It could go either way. Um,
00:08:03 >> it’s just the the innerlinear at Bible
00:08:06 Hub picked sojourners, but I don’t
00:08:09 always agree with what that innerlinear
00:08:11 picks. Um, so anyways,
00:08:13 >> okay,
00:08:14 >> do it in this case.
00:08:19 >> So, Ren, could you read ver uh Ren,
00:08:22 could you read verse two?
00:08:24 uh elect according to the fornowledge of
00:08:27 God the Father through sanctification of
00:08:30 the spirit unto obedience and sprinkling
00:08:33 of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace unto
00:08:35 you and peace be multiplied.
00:08:39 >> So you are elect according to the
00:08:42 fornowledge
00:08:44 of Elohim the father.
00:08:50 >> Does fornowledge means that he mean that
00:08:52 he made the choice for you?
00:08:54 No. So, do you want me to get the
00:08:56 dictionary up for you, Ben?
00:08:58 >> Yeah, please. Okay,
00:08:59 >> let me go change.
00:09:01 >> We’re gonna We’re going to look up for
00:09:03 knowledge.
00:09:19 >> Okay. Is that big enough or you want it
00:09:21 bigger? Yeah, that will be good. Um,
00:09:25 knowledge of a thing before it happens.
00:09:30 >> Precience
00:09:32 >> or Yes. So
00:09:35 that knowing something is going to
00:09:38 happen before it happens
00:09:41 is not the same as causing it to happen.
00:09:45 No, it’s like um playing a chess game,
00:09:51 >> right?
00:09:52 >> Or a go game, which I actually like
00:09:53 more. But anyways, that you’re pretty
00:09:56 instead of with with us humans, we’re
00:09:58 pretty sure a player is going to play
00:10:00 this or that move, right? So, we plan
00:10:04 for that.
00:10:05 >> Um
00:10:07 >> Yahweh, on the other hand, knows
00:10:09 everybody so well. he knows exactly what
00:10:12 they’re going to be doing. Uh even
00:10:15 though he didn’t force them to do it, he
00:10:17 actually um gave their their agency, but
00:10:20 he just knows them so well. He knows
00:10:22 what they’re going to pick.
00:10:24 >> So if you are rebellious, he knew you
00:10:27 would be that way.
00:10:29 >> Did that force you? Did his knowledge of
00:10:31 that force you to be rebellious? No.
00:10:34 >> No.
00:10:34 >> You still made that choice, but he knew
00:10:36 that you would.
00:10:38 So along
00:10:39 >> if you choose not to be rebellious but
00:10:42 to be obedient, he similarly knew that
00:10:45 that is what you would do.
00:10:48 >> So along this lines, if if Ben’s done, I
00:10:52 have a thought that goes with this.
00:10:53 >> Yeah, sure.
00:10:55 um the
00:10:58 um Jacob being renamed to Israel and
00:11:00 what um
00:11:03 the Hebrew scriptures actually define
00:11:06 that as
00:11:08 >> yes
00:11:09 >> one who has wrestled with Yah and men
00:11:12 and overcome.
00:11:14 >> Wrestling is something that you work
00:11:17 through and do.
00:11:19 >> It’s not something that you’re just
00:11:21 following a script.
00:11:23 Yeah,
00:11:24 >> it’s about figuring it out and becoming
00:11:27 yourself.
00:11:30 >> And agency,
00:11:32 >> the ability to choose right and wrong
00:11:34 allows you to be able to become
00:11:38 and not just follow a script.
00:11:43 >> Okay.
00:11:44 >> The wrestling it is figuring it out and
00:11:47 and and also probably making mistakes.
00:11:50 If it’s anything like me, I’ve I’ve made
00:11:53 mistakes and sinned. I’ll I’ll claim
00:11:55 both here. Okay.
00:11:56 >> I have I have been very open about my
00:11:59 own mistakes.
00:12:01 >> Um
00:12:02 >> Okay.
00:12:03 >> But I recognize that they were mistakes
00:12:05 and sins even.
00:12:08 >> Right. Um
00:12:09 >> my past is not without sin,
00:12:12 but my future can be.
00:12:15 >> Correct.
00:12:16 >> My present can be.
00:12:18 >> Oh. Um now
00:12:20 >> but just going into the fornowledge
00:12:23 although he knows it’s going to happen
00:12:26 doesn’t mean he’s causing it to happen
00:12:29 >> right so the with we are elect according
00:12:33 to the fornowledge of Elohim because
00:12:36 Elohim knew that we would respond
00:12:40 positively to the word as it was brought
00:12:43 to us.
00:12:45 >> Yes.
00:12:45 >> He knew that we would. So we are elect
00:12:48 according to the fornowledge of Elohim
00:12:50 the father through sanctification of the
00:12:53 spirit.
00:12:56 >> This is a line that is very often
00:12:58 misunderstood.
00:13:00 >> It’s not through sanctification of some
00:13:02 strange spiritual entity that suddenly
00:13:04 seizes you and causes you to have um and
00:13:07 causes you to have a temperature
00:13:09 temperature hike.
00:13:11 >> Uh no.
00:13:14 So this the sanctification of the
00:13:16 spirit. The spirit is the mind and will
00:13:20 of Elohim and that is revealed to us in
00:13:23 the word.
00:13:24 >> Yeah. So one of the definitions of
00:13:26 spirit is behavior.
00:13:29 >> And Yahweh states uh more in the Old
00:13:33 Testament also in the New Testament that
00:13:34 we should be holy as he is holy.
00:13:39 Um and to do that is to follow his
00:13:42 behavior which is defined in Torah,
00:13:45 >> right? So so that san and that and
00:13:48 following that behavior will lead us to
00:13:50 sanctification,
00:13:52 >> right? Which is obedience
00:13:54 >> which is what which is what he next
00:13:56 states onto obedience
00:13:59 and
00:14:01 sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua
00:14:02 Hamashiach
00:14:03 >> which is Torah.
00:14:05 >> What is he saying here? What is he
00:14:06 saying here? Our sanctification
00:14:10 is through Torah and coming under the
00:14:12 covering of Yeshua Hamashiach.
00:14:14 >> Correct.
00:14:15 >> Yeah.
00:14:17 >> And that because you know and this
00:14:19 actually the sprinkling of the blood of
00:14:21 Yeshua Hamashiach is a very wonderful
00:14:24 image that points us to the Passover how
00:14:27 they sprinkled the blood or painted the
00:14:30 blood on the door with the with the
00:14:32 hissup branch.
00:14:34 So um on the sprinkling I think that
00:14:37 leads more to day of atonement because
00:14:39 there is actual there is actual
00:14:42 sprinkling on that day. So
00:14:44 >> that’s true. That’s true.
00:14:46 >> It is true. Yeah. Yep.
00:14:48 >> Which actually I mean both point to the
00:14:50 atonement, right? A Passover and a day
00:14:53 of atonement. But the sprinkling I do
00:14:55 believe points more to Day of Atonement.
00:14:57 That
00:14:58 >> and you know that that’s a really that’s
00:15:00 a really valid point that you make.
00:15:04 So it says,
00:15:06 >> so after this, this is the uh I do
00:15:11 realize again I’m every time I see this
00:15:15 and every time I draw meaning from one
00:15:17 of these punctuation points, I do
00:15:19 realize that they weren’t there in the
00:15:21 original script.
00:15:24 But
00:15:26 this colon between obedience and the
00:15:30 sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua
00:15:31 Hamashiach says,
00:15:34 “Grace unto you
00:15:38 and peace be multiplied
00:15:42 because of their obedience and
00:15:44 sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua
00:15:46 Hamashiach.
00:15:51 It comes from that,
00:15:54 you know, in the the the
00:15:59 uh Hebrew word.
00:16:01 >> Here I’m going again.
00:16:04 The Hebrew word that is indicates um
00:16:10 the Hebrew word that indicates uh grace
00:16:18 comes from an idiom that points to
00:16:20 Torah.
00:16:25 >> You want to get in the details on that?
00:16:27 Um this you can find out about this in
00:16:31 um the Hebrew gospels.
00:16:34 >> Okay. So let me pause for a minute and
00:16:36 let me get that ready. Okay.
00:16:38 >> Yep.
00:16:39 >> Okay.
00:16:41 >> All right. So grace is grace is actually
00:16:44 a synonym for Torah. We can read about
00:16:46 this in the Hebrew Gospels. Um
00:16:49 >> so just so people are aware I can put a
00:16:52 link in the notes. There’s the Hebrew
00:16:54 Gospels and then there’s the Matthew.
00:16:56 But there’s other books also. Okay. Uh
00:17:01 it has the the four gospels and then
00:17:03 some others. Okay. Other Hebrew New
00:17:05 Testament. And so we’re looking at the
00:17:08 book of Matthew right now.
00:17:10 >> Yeah. And in Matthew chapter 4 when he’s
00:17:13 dealing with the temptations of the
00:17:14 devil
00:17:17 um he says
00:17:21 the the uh translation the he the
00:17:24 translation from the safarid Hebrew text
00:17:27 states
00:17:29 in verse four of Matthew chapter 4.
00:17:32 Then he answered and said unto him, it
00:17:35 is written, man will not live by bread
00:17:37 al by the bread alone, but by the grace
00:17:41 of y of y.
00:17:43 So
00:17:45 this is um
00:17:48 and and there’s a footnote underneath
00:17:50 this is grace is a synonym for Torah. In
00:17:53 other words, and we have this given to
00:17:55 us in the King James version. Man can’t
00:17:58 will not man shall not live by bread
00:18:00 alone but by every word that proceedth
00:18:02 forth from the mouth of Elohim. The the
00:18:05 word is grace.
00:18:08 >> Yeah. So um let’s get into this some do
00:18:11 you want to or you want me to. Ben,
00:18:13 >> you go ahead and you go ahead and kind
00:18:16 of
00:18:16 >> Okay. So the reason why grace and Torah
00:18:20 are connected is the same reason that
00:18:23 perfection or perfect is connected with
00:18:28 Torah. There is a Psalms that
00:18:30 specifically states that Yahweh’s Torah
00:18:34 is perfect. So when in sermon on Torah,
00:18:37 which more people know as sermon on the
00:18:40 mount states that we are to be perfect,
00:18:42 Yahweh is stating we are to keep Torah.
00:18:46 So um
00:18:49 there are as we get into the kingdom um
00:18:53 there is
00:18:55 that’s grace. Grace is a subset I mean
00:19:00 sorry mercy is a subset of grace. Mercy
00:19:05 is what’s received when you are
00:19:08 justified. Okay? As in you start to when
00:19:11 you are baptized and Yahweh says he sees
00:19:15 your broken heart and contrite spirit
00:19:17 which are attributes of someone who
00:19:20 wants to repent aka return to his law
00:19:23 Torah. Okay.
00:19:26 later
00:19:28 uh you will receive grace or
00:19:30 sanctification which actually goes along
00:19:33 with uh first Peter two with the
00:19:37 sanctification of the spirit behavior
00:19:40 Torah. Okay.
00:19:41 >> Right. So
00:19:43 yes, the sanctification of the spirit
00:19:45 onto obedience and the sprinkling of the
00:19:47 blood of Yeshua Hamashiach. And
00:19:49 therefore it says, “Grace,
00:19:52 Torah, the word perfection be unto you.”
00:19:57 >> Okay? So grace is not Torah.
00:20:00 Grace is received because we keep Torah
00:20:03 after we’ve come his covering. And
00:20:07 >> uh and that’s why they go together. The
00:20:10 baptism of sanctification, the baptism
00:20:12 of the holy holy like uh we’re supposed
00:20:16 to be be holy as he is holy. And Torah
00:20:19 tells us how to be holy and spirit means
00:20:22 behavior. And Torah is teaching us how
00:20:25 to behave.
00:20:26 >> Yeah. Well, I should probably have said
00:20:28 completion or perfection. The completion
00:20:32 and perfection and peace be multiplied.
00:20:35 >> Sure. So what I’m trying to bring out
00:20:37 here is how the reason why grace goes
00:20:41 with Torah is because you receive grace
00:20:45 when you are actually keeping your
00:20:47 promise that before you made your
00:20:50 baptismal of covenant as a witness that
00:20:54 you did you stated you will keep
00:20:57 Yahweh’s
00:20:58 commandments aka Torah. you know,
00:21:02 >> sanctification
00:21:03 or grace is when you’re doing that,
00:21:06 hence the reason those two are tied
00:21:08 together.
00:21:09 >> And I do find it interesting and so
00:21:11 often we hear of these righteous people
00:21:14 praying that grace be found in them,
00:21:20 >> which will only be found um if they’re
00:21:24 keeping Torah.
00:21:25 >> Correct. Okay. That is
00:21:28 >> goes along with sanctification because
00:21:29 there’s the mercy justification among
00:21:33 other names and the grace aka
00:21:35 sanctification which is
00:21:39 um you’ve become pure.
00:21:41 >> Yeah.
00:21:42 >> You’ve gone beyond just being justified
00:21:44 by Yahweh’s blood
00:21:46 >> to come into the kingdom. You are now
00:21:49 like him because you’re keeping the same
00:21:52 law that he is keeping.
00:21:55 And so what we have here is Peter
00:21:59 um informing them of how sanct of this
00:22:03 of the sanctification that comes from
00:22:05 obedience and the sprinkling of the
00:22:07 blood of Yeshua Hamashiach and then
00:22:09 wishing that shalom
00:22:13 be upon them.
00:22:15 >> Right? And and if I would add a a glyph
00:22:17 here, I would say unto full obedience
00:22:21 because it’s he’s talking about grace
00:22:24 rather than partial obedience which
00:22:26 would you
00:22:27 >> justification or mercy. Right. So
00:22:30 >> right.
00:22:32 >> Yes.
00:22:34 So, um, Zach, do you want to read verse
00:22:37 three
00:22:44 >> of First Peter?
00:22:46 >> First Peter chapter one.
00:22:47 >> Yes.
00:22:50 >> Must be the the Elohim and father of our
00:22:55 adon, right?
00:22:57 >> Yeah. I I I I wonder if it’s Yahweh, but
00:23:00 we’d have to look at the Greek to know
00:23:02 which one it is. Um
00:23:04 >> I’m inclined to do Yahweh, but it could
00:23:06 do be a dawn.
00:23:07 >> Yeah.
00:23:09 >> Either or.
00:23:11 >> Yeah. Um
00:23:12 >> I don’t know. I tend to go I tend to go
00:23:15 with a don just because the whole word’s
00:23:17 not capitalized,
00:23:19 >> but
00:23:20 >> that doesn’t always happen in the New
00:23:23 Testament and especially this edition
00:23:26 that I have up. But anyways,
00:23:28 >> yeah, that’s true. That’s true. The JST
00:23:30 doesn’t
00:23:32 I’m looking at my King James version, so
00:23:34 it’s
00:23:35 >> Yeah, that’s fine. And mind your thing
00:23:37 either way. Go on, Zach.
00:23:38 >> Yeah,
00:23:39 >> start over. Blessed be the the Elohim
00:23:42 and father of our Adon Yeshua
00:23:46 Hamashiach, our Messiah, which according
00:23:50 to his abundant mercy hath begotten us
00:23:53 again unto a lively hope by the
00:23:56 resurrection of Yeshua,
00:23:59 >> the Messiah from the dead.
00:24:01 >> Okay.
00:24:04 So, blessed be. And now the the bonus to
00:24:09 it to the lord being ya is then this
00:24:13 becomes an a reference to modalism
00:24:17 uh a direct reference to modalism
00:24:21 uh with adon it’s a uh reference to our
00:24:25 relationship to Yeshu to Yeshua uh the
00:24:28 Messiah
00:24:30 uh he is our master and we do what he
00:24:33 says.
00:24:36 uh which according to his abundant mercy
00:24:39 hath begotten us again to a lively hope.
00:24:43 >> Is it possible to have a hope that’s not
00:24:45 lively?
00:24:47 >> Uh no.
00:24:50 >> Uh well, so I I think lively is going
00:24:54 along the lines how it’s emanating you,
00:24:56 giving you purpose.
00:24:58 >> Yes.
00:24:58 >> Um as in which goes along with the
00:25:01 Hebrew concept of hope.
00:25:04 >> Yes.
00:25:05 contrasted to the Greek idea of hope
00:25:09 where usually idea that you believe in
00:25:12 but doesn’t cause you to do anything
00:25:14 because
00:25:16 >> Greeks are fun are are
00:25:20 numbers stats where Hebrew is functional
00:25:23 and I think partly what’s going on here
00:25:26 I is that here they’re trying to
00:25:28 communicate Hebrew ideas into a Greek
00:25:30 mindset and that’s why they’re adding
00:25:32 the lively as in
00:25:35 activating you, causing you to act on it
00:25:40 >> as opposed to as opposed to simply
00:25:42 putting it out into the universe and
00:25:44 expecting it to come to you.
00:25:46 >> Uh like manifestation. Yes. Um
00:25:51 >> well, yeah. The funny thing is
00:25:53 >> modern Christians,
00:25:54 >> the funny thing is is that a lot of
00:25:56 people who claim that manifestation
00:25:58 works when they when you actually look
00:26:01 at what they did, they didn’t just put
00:26:02 it out into the universe. They then went
00:26:05 out and they lived as they they and they
00:26:08 then went out and lived for it.
00:26:12 >> Made choices to make it happen.
00:26:15 >> Yeah. Okay. So, this gets into some some
00:26:17 interesting tid tidbits here. Uh, the
00:26:20 demons will do things to deceive you.
00:26:22 So, they may do some minor things to
00:26:24 make you think manifestation’s true. Um,
00:26:28 so I I can see what Ben is saying.
00:26:30 Sometimes it is because you’re actually
00:26:32 doing something, but I can also see how
00:26:35 sometimes it’s because the demons are
00:26:37 trying to trick you.
00:26:39 >> Yeah.
00:26:40 >> So, but either way, uh, there is a
00:26:43 difference between the Greek thought and
00:26:45 the Hebrew thought.
00:26:46 >> Absolutely. Absolutely. And so the point
00:26:49 is is that
00:26:52 the this hope
00:26:55 drives us to as we go back to verse
00:26:59 number two,
00:27:01 obedience and coming under the covering
00:27:05 of the blood of Yeshua Hamashiach.
00:27:08 >> Yeah. I I think Johnny want did you want
00:27:10 to say something, Johnny?
00:27:11 >> Yes. Manifestation is not like uh a a
00:27:15 person just appeared out of nowhere.
00:27:18 like many of like like uh like like many
00:27:23 people say that it is.
00:27:25 >> So Johnny just let’s be most of the time
00:27:28 when the idea of manifestation is used
00:27:31 is that they believe you can think a
00:27:33 thought and that the universe is just
00:27:36 going to give it to you. It’s not about
00:27:38 someone just appearing out of nowhere.
00:27:39 It’s
00:27:40 >> other things uh appearing, not people.
00:27:43 >> Right.
00:27:45 Unless they’re wishing about a spouse or
00:27:48 or
00:27:49 >> Yeah. If they’re trying to manifest a
00:27:51 lover, the
00:27:52 >> Yeah. So, generally speaking, it’s not
00:27:55 that. Also, I I do want to
00:27:58 >> similar matter that I was trying to
00:28:00 >> Yeah. But yeah, I get what you’re trying
00:28:02 to say and we’re actually responding to
00:28:04 that. So,
00:28:06 >> right. So manifestation uh that’s taught
00:28:09 um in the new age and other occult ideas
00:28:13 is wrong. That’s not what’s going on
00:28:16 here. I do want to bring out something
00:28:18 that I do find it uh significant that is
00:28:22 tying mercy
00:28:24 uh with uh the begotten as in being born
00:28:30 again. Okay.
00:28:32 >> Yes.
00:28:33 So this is where I was somewhat talking
00:28:36 about earlier of there’s a difference
00:28:40 between mercy where you’re
00:28:42 >> accepted into the kingdom which is when
00:28:44 you’ve been gotten again or born again
00:28:48 because you’re now starting to be a new
00:28:50 creature.
00:28:52 >> Okay.
00:28:52 >> Yes. Yes.
00:28:53 >> You just started to get into the
00:28:55 kingdom. And so I do find it significant
00:28:57 they’re tying mercy with being born
00:28:59 again or begotten. Okay. And this being
00:29:02 born again is unto
00:29:05 that hope which drives us.
00:29:10 >> Yes. As in the resurrection uh of Yeshua
00:29:14 from and here it’s going to be the
00:29:16 physical death because it’s talking
00:29:18 about the resurrection [clears throat]
00:29:19 >> from the from the dead. And let’s read
00:29:22 verse four because verses four and five
00:29:24 because these are all parts of the same
00:29:26 thought. Oh
00:29:27 >> okay. So, uh, Stephen, do you mind
00:29:30 reading verses four and five?
00:29:32 >> Sure. Uh, four, to an inheritance
00:29:35 incorruptible. Okay. So, this has to do
00:29:38 with our physical bodies. Okay. It may
00:29:40 not be obvious here, but I know how this
00:29:43 term’s used in various places throughout
00:29:45 the scriptures in that
00:29:48 um, uh, well, we’ll just go with this.
00:29:50 These guys like to make fun of my
00:29:52 balding hair. They were doing [laughter]
00:29:54 it earlier.
00:29:57 >> Yeah. I I it’s all aside. Um
00:30:01 >> Whoops. My bad.
00:30:02 >> No, no, that’s fine. I’m just using it
00:30:04 as a prime example. Okay.
00:30:06 >> Right.
00:30:07 >> And that’s because I’m aging though. I
00:30:10 did start aging that pretty early.
00:30:12 [laughter]
00:30:13 So, I don’t know how much that has to
00:30:14 >> Anyways,
00:30:16 >> um but that is because of my
00:30:19 incorruptible body or corruptible
00:30:22 body. But in the resurrection, I’ll get
00:30:25 my hair back. Hopefully not all of it
00:30:27 because then it I’d be tripping over it.
00:30:30 But anyway,
00:30:31 >> yeah, if you count all the hair, will we
00:30:34 get all the hair back that we’ve ever
00:30:35 cut off? Um,
00:30:38 >> no. I think it’s more that we just won’t
00:30:40 be bald anymore. Um, and actually the
00:30:42 Book of Mormon brings that out, but it’s
00:30:44 more it’s pointing that we won’t be bald
00:30:47 anymore, but also to the fact that the
00:30:50 uh symbolic meaning of that we’ll get
00:30:52 we’ll still have the authority that we
00:30:54 have when we got here on Earth.
00:30:56 >> There you go.
00:30:58 >> Yeah. And I know you have a translation
00:31:00 of five. That’s
00:31:02 >> Oh, yeah. But I haven’t even finished
00:31:03 four yet. So,
00:31:04 >> yeah, [laughter]
00:31:05 >> I know translation of five. That’s why I
00:31:07 wanted you to read these two verses.
00:31:09 >> Yeah. Yeah. and undefiled meaning um not
00:31:13 going to have misformity.
00:31:16 I think I said that
00:31:16 >> deformities.
00:31:18 >> Deformities. Yeah, we’re not going to
00:31:20 have any of that.
00:31:21 >> They’re they’re
00:31:23 so
00:31:25 >> No, no sicknesses. No any of that.
00:31:28 >> Correct. And and wounds are going to be
00:31:30 heal completely healed. Okay.
00:31:32 >> So sickness is a part of the fact that
00:31:34 our bodies are corruptible.
00:31:36 >> Right.
00:31:37 >> Right. Right. No, I I think and that
00:31:38 goes along with the undefiled because
00:31:40 that’s sickness is the defilement.
00:31:42 That’s fine.
00:31:43 >> Yep. [clears throat]
00:31:44 >> Yep.
00:31:44 >> And fadeth not away. And this goes along
00:31:47 with how when our bodies go into the
00:31:50 grave, they fade or
00:31:52 >> discompose.
00:31:54 Yes.
00:31:54 >> Or decompose. They start going away.
00:31:57 Okay.
00:31:57 >> Y
00:31:59 and reserved in heaven for you. So,
00:32:01 you’re going to have this wonderful
00:32:03 physical body
00:32:05 in heaven. Okay.
00:32:07 Okay.
00:32:07 >> Incorruptible, undefileable.
00:32:10 It’s not going to go away.
00:32:14 >> Right.
00:32:15 >> Okay. So, this is reserved in heaven for
00:32:18 you. Who? For who?
00:32:23 This is reserved in heaven for you. For
00:32:24 who?
00:32:25 >> Uh the ones that uh received the baptism
00:32:29 of justification or mercy or been
00:32:32 accepted into the kingdom,
00:32:34 >> right, of Yahw,
00:32:35 >> right?
00:32:37 So, so verse five kind of
00:32:39 >> I think the verse five I think the verse
00:32:41 five deals in some of that too.
00:32:44 >> Okay. So, um I I I did do a re-ransation
00:32:48 of verse five. Um so I’ll read that
00:32:52 which is why Ben said he wanted me to
00:32:53 read this one. So who the faithful okay
00:32:58 >> are protected. Um, and that I I mean I I
00:33:04 can see how kept says that even in
00:33:06 modern English, but it’s not as obvious.
00:33:08 Okay.
00:33:09 >> Right.
00:33:09 >> Right.
00:33:10 >> But when you go look at the Greek uh
00:33:12 54:32, it really gets into that. Okay.
00:33:15 >> Yeah.
00:33:16 >> By the power Oh, go ahead, Ben.
00:33:18 >> No, I said I was just saying absolutely
00:33:20 it does.
00:33:21 >> Yeah. Yeah. And by the power of Elohim.
00:33:23 So, um, and I have here that the power
00:33:27 of Elohim is Torah. And and this is a
00:33:29 whole big subject, but um it is because
00:33:33 that Yeshua kept Torah that he can give
00:33:37 the blessings
00:33:39 >> and the cursings.
00:33:41 >> Absolutely.
00:33:42 >> From it. And that’s the power. The power
00:33:44 is to do those types of things to give
00:33:46 blessings and cursings.
00:33:48 >> Yep.
00:33:49 >> Right. Right.
00:33:49 >> And they’re defined in
00:33:52 Torah.
00:33:53 >> Yeah. The son, the son has always been
00:33:56 the executive of the will of the father.
00:33:59 >> Correct?
00:34:00 >> So when the father declares curses, it
00:34:03 is the son that enacts them.
00:34:05 >> When the father when the father uh
00:34:08 declares
00:34:09 uh when the father declares blessings,
00:34:11 it is the son that enacts them.
00:34:13 >> Right? So uh and and uh we all here
00:34:17 believe in modalism. So the the father
00:34:20 is the mold or or the mode of the same
00:34:24 soul that figured all this out and the
00:34:27 son’s the one that went and did it
00:34:29 making it all possible.
00:34:31 >> Right.
00:34:33 >> Uh and we went over that with the
00:34:36 recording with Samsung Honey and uh the
00:34:40 lion. I’ll put a link to that.
00:34:42 >> Yep.
00:34:43 >> At some point here I would want to
00:34:45 listen to that. But anyway,
00:34:47 >> yeah. Uh because yeah, because that is
00:34:51 uh that’s an important point to remember
00:34:54 that it is that um
00:34:58 the personage of the father is
00:35:02 that he who is he who declares it, he
00:35:04 who figures it out, and the personage of
00:35:07 the son executes it.
00:35:09 >> Yeah. And so one of my favorite things
00:35:11 about modalism is the fact that how
00:35:14 everybody in the world wants they want
00:35:16 they say that they want someone to
00:35:18 follow what they teach.
00:35:21 >> That’s modalism.
00:35:23 >> Mhm.
00:35:24 >> Yep.
00:35:25 >> The son followed what he taught as the
00:35:28 father.
00:35:29 >> Yes.
00:35:30 >> It’s a perfect leader which everybody
00:35:33 says that they want the son. the son and
00:35:37 the father who is the father does them.
00:35:40 I I looked at
00:35:43 thing a little video earlier where
00:35:46 some where people where it talks about
00:35:50 the great apostasy where there were some
00:35:53 who wanted to wanted to follow Yeshua
00:35:57 but but because of the bishop there came
00:36:01 a doctrine that says we uh we don’t need
00:36:06 to follow the law anymore which that’s
00:36:08 not true.
00:36:09 >> Correct. Uh so
00:36:12 >> yeah this is from one of the early
00:36:14 Christian fathers and the early
00:36:16 Christian fathers said we did not keep
00:36:17 need to keep the law
00:36:19 >> right not to mention Constantine’s creed
00:36:22 and other issues with them but um
00:36:26 >> I do think that Constantine’s creed
00:36:29 simply
00:36:30 um crystallized and struct and gave
00:36:34 structure to the um prejudice that was
00:36:36 already fostered by the early Christian
00:36:39 fathers.
00:36:40 Yes.
00:36:40 >> Yeah, I I agree with that. Yes. Um and
00:36:44 so not all believers that way, but it
00:36:46 was the majority of them as uh you’ll
00:36:50 get in the New Translation or the JST or
00:36:52 inspired version. There’s always a
00:36:54 remnant and a remnant is someone who’s
00:36:56 actually striving to follow to the best
00:36:59 that they know how. Uh but if nothing
00:37:02 else, they’re doing better than the
00:37:04 general public. Right. So,
00:37:06 >> right. So if I understand what we have
00:37:09 so far, that’s basically the people who
00:37:13 have this glorious inheritance reserved
00:37:16 for them are those who are protected by
00:37:19 Torah.
00:37:20 >> Yes. And partly it’s because they’re
00:37:23 protected by the power of Elohim, which
00:37:26 is Torah, is because they’re keeping it
00:37:29 or they’re actually guarding it.
00:37:31 >> Oh, are you talking about through faith
00:37:32 maybe?
00:37:33 >> Uh yeah, which is actually uh It’s like
00:37:37 faithful. And actually in the next
00:37:40 stanza, faith, right? [laughter]
00:37:42 >> Yeah.
00:37:43 >> Trust in diligent obedience. Yes.
00:37:45 >> Yeah. And so partly the reason why
00:37:47 they’re protected by Torah is because
00:37:50 they’re keeping Torah.
00:37:52 >> Yeah.
00:37:52 >> Yeah. [clears throat]
00:37:53 >> Because
00:37:55 Torah gives blessings when kept and
00:37:57 cursings when broken.
00:38:00 >> Correct. So, and part of the
00:38:03 pro protection comes from Yahweh because
00:38:06 we’re keeping Torah.
00:38:08 >> And so, this is actually one of the
00:38:10 things that I wanted to point out is
00:38:12 that for a lot of people, a lot of
00:38:14 people tend to believe that the son is
00:38:17 all love, all forgiveness, all of this,
00:38:20 but it is the son who enacts both the
00:38:23 blessings and the cursings. Oh, yeah.
00:38:26 The only reason they think that is
00:38:27 because they are just listening to false
00:38:31 preachers
00:38:32 >> instead of actually reading the New
00:38:34 Testament.
00:38:36 >> Cursed in the New Testament. In fact,
00:38:38 even just fig tree which has a lot of
00:38:41 symbolic meaning which we won’t get into
00:38:43 >> which in fact which in fact Yeshua kind
00:38:46 of warns us about false messiahs and
00:38:49 false prophets all over the uh gospel of
00:38:53 Matthew which I
00:38:55 did write did read about.
00:38:58 >> Yes. Which goes along with the false
00:39:00 teachers that I said right Johnny. Um
00:39:03 >> and they’re causing he curses those
00:39:05 false teachers
00:39:07 >> even within the New Testament like the
00:39:09 Sadducees and the Pharisees. He cursed
00:39:11 them. He said they were followers of
00:39:13 Satan, aka sons of Satan. Okay.
00:39:16 >> Yep. Yep. Yep.
00:39:18 >> And when I read it, I was kind of like,
00:39:21 wow,
00:39:23 >> language there.
00:39:24 >> Yes. He’s not the loveydovey that a lot
00:39:27 of people uh want him to be. Let’s just
00:39:30 say let’s just say that uh when people
00:39:35 actually see him, they’ll be a might
00:39:37 surprised.
00:39:39 >> Uh yes. And they will not recognize him
00:39:42 because they won’t be like him.
00:39:45 >> Matthew 5.
00:39:48 >> No, but that’s fine. Um but anyways,
00:39:52 back to here. But they’re
00:39:53 >> get back here. Oh yeah,
00:39:54 >> they’re protected by Torah because
00:39:57 they’re keeping Torah because faith
00:40:00 means trust in the word of Yahweh and
00:40:03 his promises and diligently keeping his
00:40:05 commandments. Okay.
00:40:07 >> Which
00:40:09 um
00:40:10 >> Oh, and be blessed.
00:40:14 >> And that is onto salvation by the way.
00:40:16 >> Yeah. Well, and and that’s like uh being
00:40:20 into the kingdom which goes along with
00:40:21 the mercy
00:40:23 >> that was what in verse three I think.
00:40:27 >> Yes.
00:40:29 >> There there is a difference between
00:40:30 salvation and exaltation. Salvation’s
00:40:33 justification. Exaltation is
00:40:35 sanctification. Okay.
00:40:37 >> All one all one has to do to be an heir
00:40:39 of salvation is to barely squeak by into
00:40:41 the kingdom.
00:40:44 >> Yes. uh by Yahweh letting you squeak in,
00:40:49 not a man. Okay.
00:40:50 >> Right. Yes. Yes. Yes.
00:40:53 >> Good grief. [laughter]
00:40:55 >> And so anyway, so through faith onto
00:40:57 salvation.
00:40:58 >> Okay. Ready to be revealed as in your
00:41:01 salvation as in your place into the
00:41:04 kingdom.
00:41:06 And hopefully more than salvation.
00:41:08 Hopefully it’s exaltation, but that’s
00:41:10 another discussion. Okay.
00:41:12 >> Right.
00:41:13 uh in the last and this is another
00:41:17 translation I did instead of time as in
00:41:19 King James I did appointment
00:41:22 or appointed time which in this case is
00:41:26 talking about final judgment because
00:41:28 your final judgment will reveal if you
00:41:31 have salvation or not.
00:41:33 >> Yeah. That
00:41:35 >> just like just like uh at the day of
00:41:37 atonement your sins are either covered
00:41:39 or they’re not
00:41:41 >> correct. Um well, so uh day of atonement
00:41:45 has a two-edged sword there. So if
00:41:47 you’re a son of predition,
00:41:50 you’re just you’re gonna get stoned. If
00:41:52 you’re in the kingdom, it’ll bring out
00:41:55 which uh glory you will receive within
00:41:58 the kingdom.
00:41:59 >> Yeah.
00:42:00 >> So there there’s a double-edged sword
00:42:02 there, but I’m Yeah. Anyways, I’m being
00:42:04 technical to me. So I’ll go back to the
00:42:07 new translation
00:42:09 >> now that we looked at my translation.
00:42:11 Anyways, [laughter]
00:42:14 >> so um let’s see.
00:42:18 >> Okay, I will read verse six now.
00:42:21 Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
00:42:24 though now for a season, if need be, ye
00:42:28 are in heaviness through manifold
00:42:30 temptations. So this inheritance that we
00:42:35 are to receive that we hope for though
00:42:38 we have not seen it
00:42:43 and that hope drives us to obed and
00:42:46 drives us to to walk in the mind and
00:42:48 will of Ya.
00:42:53 We rejoice in that hope
00:42:57 even in trial and we find peace in our
00:43:01 trials through that hope.
00:43:04 >> Daddy the Barry died.
00:43:06 >> Okay.
00:43:06 >> Hey Ben, can you choose the movie very
00:43:09 quick so I can get that on?
00:43:11 >> So let me pause for a second.
00:43:13 >> Yeah.
00:43:15 >> Okay. So one one thing I see in verse
00:43:18 six is how um
00:43:23 you can rejoice
00:43:26 greatly because of what’s coming
00:43:30 and remember that and remember that when
00:43:34 you’re going through the temptations
00:43:35 because they’re going to be hard. Okay.
00:43:39 Mhm.
00:43:40 >> So, and even on top of that, where um
00:43:45 when you first start doing anything,
00:43:47 including joining the the faith of
00:43:49 Yeshua, there’s this uh season where
00:43:52 it’s easy and wonderful or a honeymoon
00:43:55 stage. Okay.
00:43:57 >> Yes.
00:43:58 uh wherein you go wherein greatly
00:44:02 rejoice though now for a season or for a
00:44:05 bit of a period if need be you are in
00:44:09 heaviness through man of man manifold
00:44:11 temptations. So uh in a bit your your
00:44:16 temptations are going to come back to
00:44:17 you and you need to work through them.
00:44:20 Okay.
00:44:21 >> Yeah.
00:44:22 >> Uh because you’ll get off the high and
00:44:24 the normal life happens. Okay.
00:44:27 Um, but remember
00:44:31 why you did it.
00:44:33 >> Keep that hope alive. In fact, I’ll just
00:44:36 say this real quick. Faith is trust.
00:44:41 And you only hope for what you trust
00:44:43 for. Hebrew hope.
00:44:46 >> You only Hebrew hope for what you really
00:44:48 trust in.
00:44:50 >> Yes. And then charity is actually when
00:44:53 you go look at the Hebrew definition of
00:44:55 charity um it’s keeping the commandments
00:44:59 or being
00:45:01 >> Yeah. The word
00:45:01 >> diligence.
00:45:02 >> Yeah. The word is sedaka
00:45:05 which means right action.
00:45:09 >> So when they say faith, hope and
00:45:11 charity, I think a better translation is
00:45:13 faith is hope and charity.
00:45:16 >> Yeah.
00:45:18 I I know that sounds weird, but go look
00:45:20 at the definition.
00:45:21 >> I mean, I Yeah, I can kind of I can kind
00:45:22 of see where you’re going with that. I
00:45:25 Yeah, I can kind of get behind that.
00:45:27 >> You only hope for what you trust. If you
00:45:29 didn’t trust it, you wouldn’t hope for
00:45:30 it.
00:45:30 >> Yeah, that’s true.
00:45:32 >> So, anyways, um so I just see how here
00:45:37 um things will get hard, but
00:45:42 keep rejoicing. Okay.
00:45:44 >> There like
00:45:45 >> Well, and the thing is is that
00:45:48 the these manifold temptations,
00:45:55 the these manifold temptations,
00:45:59 you know, we when real life sets in, you
00:46:02 have a tendency to get down on yourself
00:46:05 because
00:46:07 maybe
00:46:10 in some small ways you slip up. Maybe
00:46:12 you’re angry with somebody when you
00:46:14 shouldn’t be. Maybe you’re uh maybe or
00:46:17 maybe you’re angrier than you should be.
00:46:19 Or maybe there’s some uh small things
00:46:23 that keep coming back into your life and
00:46:25 you start to feel you start to feel
00:46:27 discouraged.
00:46:30 Don’t be discouraged just because
00:46:34 life happens.
00:46:37 Simply you need to you need to remember
00:46:41 the joy and then you need to recommmit
00:46:44 yourself
00:46:48 and that’s it.
00:46:52 >> Yeah. Yeah. Completely agree.
00:46:54 >> The thing the thing that’s keeping me a
00:46:57 little bit concerned right now it’s my
00:47:01 family because I haven’t seen them in a
00:47:03 little while.
00:47:04 It keeps them It kind of gets me a
00:47:06 little concerned.
00:47:08 >> Oh, because you want them to have the
00:47:09 same faith, Johnny.
00:47:11 >> Yeah, I want to try to convert them if I
00:47:13 can, but
00:47:15 they have a choice in the matter.
00:47:17 >> They they do. Um because I if if you
00:47:22 could force
00:47:24 they it wouldn’t really be them, would
00:47:26 it?
00:47:27 >> No, no, no, no, no. It won’t be them.
00:47:29 That would have been me. But however,
00:47:32 it’s just a little discouraging.
00:47:34 >> Sure. Sure. Well, perhaps in your
00:47:37 prayers, you can include uh hopefully
00:47:39 Yahweh, ask Yahweh to help you know how
00:47:42 to inspire them to want the truth and
00:47:45 believe it.
00:47:46 >> Yep.
00:47:47 Because because it feels like right now
00:47:50 it feels like outside of my dad and a
00:47:53 few of my uncles, it feels like the
00:47:55 brand majority of my family has totally
00:47:57 cast me out
00:47:59 or or they’re just dealing with their
00:48:02 own issues.
00:48:03 >> Well, some of the casting you out were
00:48:05 because the wicked hate the righteous
00:48:07 just as the wicked hated Yeshua. So,
00:48:10 >> yeah.
00:48:10 >> Um
00:48:12 >> but hopefully they’ll stop being wicked,
00:48:14 right? Which is a good desire. Oh yeah.
00:48:18 >> So, um, Andrew, do you want to read
00:48:21 verse seven?
00:48:27 That the trial of your faith being much
00:48:29 more precious than of gold that
00:48:32 perisheth, though it be tried with fire,
00:48:36 might be found unto praise and honor and
00:48:39 glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
00:48:42 And so is the trial of your faith more
00:48:45 precious than gold or is your faith more
00:48:47 precious than gold?
00:48:48 >> I could say faith.
00:48:52 >> So um this gets into uh even
00:48:57 re-ransations I’ve done of Hebrews 11:1
00:49:02 that your faith is shown through the
00:49:05 trials. without the trials
00:49:09 um you don’t know what you don’t even
00:49:12 know what your faith is and so it’s
00:49:15 because of the trials that you can glory
00:49:19 about it that you can then actually say
00:49:22 in confidence
00:49:24 I trusted and I was diligent through
00:49:28 what would the trial
00:49:31 >> yes
00:49:31 >> and then also if you fell short you’re
00:49:34 like well okay I I know what I need to
00:49:36 work on. So that’s also a good um
00:49:40 um what what’s the word? Um I guess it’s
00:49:44 a good barometer for where your faith
00:49:46 actually is. Yeah.
00:49:47 >> Correct. Yeah. And I I will say I think
00:49:50 it’s significant that he’s using gold
00:49:53 here.
00:49:54 >> Gold is symbolic as sanctification.
00:49:57 >> Yes.
00:49:57 >> Which is what we’ve talked about that we
00:50:00 want here, right? The grace and the
00:50:02 sanctification. Even even just the word
00:50:05 in verse two. Okay.
00:50:07 >> Yeah.
00:50:07 >> So I deliberately asked that question in
00:50:10 that way because we need I wanted I we
00:50:14 need to reconstruct the way that we
00:50:16 think. This is a typical Greek.
00:50:19 The question I asked was a typical Greek
00:50:22 dividing
00:50:24 of the two things trial and faith.
00:50:28 And we need to rework the way that we
00:50:30 think about these things because our
00:50:33 faith is shown as we weather the trials.
00:50:37 And this somehat goes along with the
00:50:39 wrestling with yah and man that I talked
00:50:42 about earlier, right?
00:50:44 >> Yeah.
00:50:44 >> If there is no trial, there is no
00:50:46 becoming.
00:50:48 And uh what Paul’s oh no, sorry, this is
00:50:51 not Paul. This is Peter. Sorry, my bad.
00:50:54 Um Peter’s bringing out here that
00:50:57 becoming like Yeshua through the trials
00:51:01 which Yeshua knows that we can handle
00:51:07 is more important than having money here
00:51:09 on earth which goes along with the
00:51:11 statement from Yeshua.
00:51:13 Uh choose whom you will serve this day.
00:51:18 >> I’m I’m I’m mixing Old Testament, New
00:51:19 Testament together. Sorry about that,
00:51:21 but I’m not sorry. Um, you will either
00:51:24 >> both of them are useful here.
00:51:27 >> Correct? You’re either going to follow
00:51:29 Yahweh or you’re either going to go
00:51:31 follow money.
00:51:33 >> So, here’s the other thing here. Here’s
00:51:35 the other thing here
00:51:36 >> might be found on praise and honor and
00:51:38 glory at the appearing in Yeshua
00:51:40 Hamashiach.
00:51:42 >> Is this a similar thing to those
00:51:44 questions that Elma asks in chapter 5?
00:51:48 There’s uh where where he asks, “Have
00:51:51 you received his image and your
00:51:52 countenance?”
00:51:53 >> Yeah. Which is where you’ll get the
00:51:55 praise.
00:51:57 >> Have you felt to sing the song of
00:51:58 redeeming love?
00:52:00 >> Yeah. Have you become like Yeshua?
00:52:05 >> That’s what what honor prays from
00:52:09 Yeshua.
00:52:12 >> One of my goals is to uh hear the words
00:52:20 Well done, my true and faithful servant.
00:52:27 What a praise.
00:52:31 And what a glory.
00:52:33 >> Yeah.
00:52:33 >> At his appearing.
00:52:38 >> Yeah.
00:52:40 And that can only be done
00:52:44 through conquering
00:52:46 the trials.
00:52:48 >> Yeah.
00:52:50 So, Zach verse 8.
00:53:03 >> Doctor, are you all right?
00:53:05 >> I’m here.
00:53:06 >> Yep. Verse eight.
00:53:09 Whom having not seen.
00:53:14 Yeah. Whom having not seen ye love in
00:53:18 whom
00:53:20 though now you see him not.
00:53:24 Yet believing ye rejoice with joy
00:53:27 unspeakable unfolded glory.
00:53:35 So these people that he’s talking to
00:53:38 have not seen Yeshua
00:53:40 but they love him.
00:53:47 Oh also I I want to bring out here this
00:53:49 is another imagery for calling election
00:53:52 maid sure
00:53:54 >> and even uh second comforting
00:53:57 second comforter full of glory. Full of
00:54:01 glory means receiving the full glory of
00:54:04 the father here. And um they received
00:54:08 that without seeing him which actually
00:54:12 goes with uh what is it DNC
00:54:16 um something. Sorry. This also
00:54:20 >> this also goes against the idea that
00:54:23 that some believe that um you cannot
00:54:28 receive your second comforter without
00:54:30 seeing Yeshua.
00:54:31 >> Yeah. So I’ll just show the screen real
00:54:33 quick. We don’t have to get into it
00:54:34 much, but it’s DNC 882 through5 which
00:54:38 specifically states the second comforter
00:54:41 is being told you have eternal life
00:54:43 which is full glory or celestial glory.
00:54:47 Okay, which uh it even states celestial
00:54:50 there. So anyways, I I’m I’m more trying
00:54:54 to make these connections with these
00:54:55 imageries how they’re pointing to the
00:54:57 same idea just through a slightly
00:55:00 different image. Okay?
00:55:04 Because the only way to have full glory
00:55:05 is to receive full uh all the glory
00:55:08 which is celestial glory, right? I mean,
00:55:11 call me crazy, but I I Anyways,
00:55:16 >> and here’s another thing from that. Whom
00:55:18 having not seen ye love? How do we show
00:55:20 that we love God? If ye love me, keep my
00:55:24 commandments.
00:55:24 >> Keep my commandments.
00:55:27 >> Torah, his Torah contains the
00:55:30 commandments, right? So,
00:55:32 >> and plus coming into the covering of
00:55:35 Yeshua
00:55:37 as we Yeshua or Jesus.
00:55:41 >> Yeah. We come under his covering when we
00:55:44 covenant with him to keep his
00:55:46 commandments.
00:55:47 >> Oh, okay.
00:55:50 >> And and are fully immersed by water aka
00:55:53 baptism.
00:55:55 >> Yes. Fact does the b the word baptism
00:55:58 actually means immersed. So anyways,
00:56:04 so
00:56:05 um and that’s that’s interesting this
00:56:09 whole idea this very clearly states that
00:56:13 you that people are receiving their
00:56:16 sanctification
00:56:17 without having seen
00:56:21 Yeshua in the flesh. Yeah. Full of
00:56:26 glory.
00:56:27 Full glory. I mean, we could go look at
00:56:29 the interlinear there. So, I I do
00:56:32 believe some of these translations
00:56:33 aren’t horrible, but they’re dumb
00:56:35 because people don’t understand the
00:56:37 translators. So,
00:56:39 >> yeah. So, Brennan, can you read verse
00:56:41 nine?
00:56:44 >> Receiving the object of your faith, even
00:56:47 the salvation of your soul.
00:56:50 >> So, yeah. So, this that is So, what is
00:56:54 the object of our faith, Brennan?
00:56:56 uh our salvation.
00:56:59 >> Yeah. Our salvation which is ultimately
00:57:02 expressed in
00:57:05 sanctification.
00:57:07 >> All right.
00:57:07 >> Yeah. So I I do like the new translation
00:57:10 JST inspired version. I I just want to
00:57:13 make sure people are aware that the one
00:57:16 of the definitions of the word end does
00:57:19 mean purpose which goes along with
00:57:21 object. Okay.
00:57:23 >> Or or or reason. So, um I mean I I I
00:57:28 would probably put purpose myself, but
00:57:30 with what object with the multiple
00:57:34 definitions of object, it it completely
00:57:36 makes sense, right?
00:57:37 >> Okay.
00:57:38 >> And he was uh Joseph Smith on here is
00:57:40 just more modernizing it because people
00:57:42 forget
00:57:44 the multiple definitions of the word
00:57:46 end, right?
00:57:47 >> Yeah. So, Johnny, do you want to read
00:57:50 verse 10 off of the screen here?
00:57:52 >> Yeah.
00:57:55 of cons concerning which salvation the
00:57:59 prophets who prophesied of the grace
00:58:03 bestowed upon upon you inquired and
00:58:08 searched diligently
00:58:10 who prophes
00:58:12 >> You’re done. You’re done.
00:58:15 >> Yep. Inquired and searched diligently.
00:58:18 So
00:58:20 this salvation
00:58:23 um
00:58:27 this salvation was
00:58:30 is uh the salvation it comes from
00:58:35 the prophets prophesied of it. They
00:58:37 prophesied of the grace.
00:58:39 >> Yeah. and they laid out the path that
00:58:43 Yeshua walked that we also need to walk
00:58:46 to receive it. Um,
00:58:49 >> and the and they and they’re able to
00:58:50 reveal it to us because they have
00:58:52 inquired and searched diligently within
00:58:54 the mind revealed mind and will of Yahw
00:58:57 and also from Yahw himself.
00:58:59 >> Correct. And they know others are going
00:59:03 to receive it. Hence the prophesying,
00:59:07 right?
00:59:07 >> Yep. Absolutely.
00:59:11 So, um, okay. I guess I will read verse
00:59:14 11
00:59:15 >> All right. You read yet, Stephen?
00:59:19 >> You want me to read 11?
00:59:20 >> Yeah, you go ahead and read 11.
00:59:22 >> Okay. searching what time and what
00:59:25 manner of salvation the spirit of the
00:59:29 Messiah which is in them did signify
00:59:34 when it testified beforehand the
00:59:36 sufferings of the Messiah and the glory
00:59:39 which should follow. So this is bringing
00:59:41 out how
00:59:44 uh the word of Yahw had or had testified
00:59:49 of Yeshua’s death and resurrection in
00:59:52 various uh forms and matters or ways and
00:59:57 we went over one last week, right?
01:00:00 >> Yes.
01:00:01 >> With Samson and the um and the
01:00:04 >> Yeah. uh a and um which goes along with
01:00:08 testified beforehand the sufferings of
01:00:11 the Messiah. He had to die whenever you
01:00:15 want.
01:00:15 >> The lion died. Um
01:00:18 >> so and it’s because of Yeshua’s death
01:00:22 that we can have salvation.
01:00:27 >> And I I don’t know how much to get in
01:00:28 the atonement right now, but he had to
01:00:30 break the bands of death. And the only
01:00:33 one that could do that is the one that
01:00:35 was at the head who had not sinned.
01:00:39 >> Also, also another one another example
01:00:43 showing the um the showing the grace
01:00:46 that was the [snorts] grace that is to
01:00:48 be bestowed upon you. Um the story of
01:00:52 GIFA in Judges 11
01:00:56 uh definitely points to that to that
01:00:59 grace and that salvation, that
01:01:00 exaltation.
01:01:03 Yeah.
01:01:06 >> So, so there is that. So, what we find
01:01:10 is that the word
01:01:13 in so many of these cases that we think
01:01:15 are just plain weird, if we look at it
01:01:18 as a
01:01:21 if we look at it as a prophetic type,
01:01:24 we can see the prophecy of grace.
01:01:28 >> Yes.
01:01:30 And I I’ll tell you, I I love symbolism.
01:01:33 Uh Yahweh’s helped me wake up to it. And
01:01:36 um and I put some effort into figuring
01:01:38 it out beyond that to hone the skills
01:01:40 that he’s given me. But understanding
01:01:44 symbolism makes these weird stories have
01:01:47 a lot more meaning to them.
01:01:49 >> Yeah.
01:01:51 >> So I will read verse 12. on unto whom it
01:01:55 was revealed that not unto themselves,
01:02:00 but unto us. They did minister the
01:02:03 things which are now reported unto you
01:02:06 by them that have preached the gospel
01:02:09 unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down
01:02:12 from or the Ruah Kakodesh sent down from
01:02:16 heaven. Oh, wait a minute. What is the
01:02:18 rule?
01:02:20 What’s the what’s one of the first
01:02:21 instances of the Ruah Kakodesh being
01:02:23 sent down from heaven that we can think
01:02:25 that we can read about um in uh
01:02:31 that we can read about in the scriptures
01:02:33 >> going to be Genesis with Adam.
01:02:36 >> Adam. Yeah,
01:02:38 >> it’s going to be Adam and he gave him
01:02:39 commandments and told him to sacrifice.
01:02:43 >> Yeah. Well, even he just breathed it
01:02:46 into his nose as a thrust. Um yeah and
01:02:49 because of the trust of that that he
01:02:52 then acted on because you this is
01:02:54 functional I if you trust it you do it
01:02:58 right
01:02:58 >> that’s right you know yeah you you act
01:03:02 on what you actually believe see when
01:03:05 the Hebrew concept of belief has nothing
01:03:07 to do with just oh I believe
01:03:12 that’s the Greek that’s not going to
01:03:14 that’s not going to work out too well
01:03:16 for you actually at the at the day of
01:03:20 judgment that simply having believed or
01:03:24 mentally asented to the truth is not
01:03:28 going to help you that much.
01:03:29 >> Actually, if you just mentally ascent
01:03:32 and but you do against it will actually
01:03:34 condemn you more.
01:03:35 >> Yeah. So, what you want is that faith
01:03:39 that bedrock belief that simply does
01:03:44 what you’re commanded to do.
01:03:49 Because you know for what reason the
01:03:52 commandment was given. You trust for
01:03:55 what reason the commandment was given.
01:03:58 >> Yeah.
01:04:01 Not no is the wrong word. Trust is the
01:04:03 right word. You trust.
01:04:08 you have trust in the giver and in uh
01:04:12 and and in the purpose.
01:04:16 So, uh
01:04:18 >> wait, I’m I’m not done yet. Um so unto
01:04:21 whom the fathers it was revealed
01:04:25 >> Mhm.
01:04:25 >> Uh
01:04:28 and so
01:04:30 since they were seeking after Yahw uh
01:04:33 part of the purpose of life is to then
01:04:37 help others. So they were given things
01:04:39 unto them to help others that not unto
01:04:43 themselves.
01:04:45 So because they had become they are now
01:04:49 helping others. And so this actually
01:04:51 I’ll just say this real quickly. Uh this
01:04:54 gets into uh
01:04:58 Jacob’s ladder which is actually oh
01:05:03 what was the the apostle that sat under
01:05:05 the tree that [sighs] I forget his name.
01:05:10 Anyways, one of the apostles were
01:05:12 sitting on the tree uh and then Yeshua
01:05:14 told him he saw him there and told him
01:05:16 that he would see people uh the angels
01:05:18 ascending and descending. Okay,
01:05:21 >> so this gets into the purpose of life to
01:05:24 come under Yeshua’s covering,
01:05:27 keep his Torah, and then help others do
01:05:29 the same. Because right, the ascending
01:05:32 is going up to becoming like Yeshua. the
01:05:35 going down is uh coming back down to
01:05:38 help others to do the same.
01:05:40 >> Yes. So there
01:05:42 >> and and I just want to say just real
01:05:44 quick and then I’ll I’ll give it back to
01:05:45 you.
01:05:46 >> That is what that apostle saw.
01:05:49 >> Yes.
01:05:50 >> He saw himself. Wait a minute, Johnny.
01:05:53 He saw himself ascend up that Jacob’s
01:05:56 ladder and then he descended to go help
01:05:58 others. And this is similarly
01:06:03 uh this is similar to what Jacob saw
01:06:05 when he first saw the latter. The angels
01:06:09 or servants of Yah ascending and
01:06:13 descending.
01:06:14 >> Yes. And this is opposite of what um the
01:06:19 occult and sadly people who follow the
01:06:22 occult unknowingly push. How you have to
01:06:24 descend to ascend. No. Jacob’s latters
01:06:28 ascend
01:06:29 as in become like Yeshua before you can
01:06:32 come back down and help others to do the
01:06:34 same.
01:06:36 >> As Yeshua said to Peter, um
01:06:40 when thou art converted,
01:06:43 strengthen thy brethren.
01:06:45 >> Yeah. And that’s the same thing that
01:06:47 says send and then go back and help
01:06:49 others to do.
01:06:50 >> By the way, converted
01:06:52 means changed.
01:06:55 >> Yes. when you are changed
01:06:58 >> or in your brethren.
01:07:00 >> Yeah,
01:07:02 >> the uh the Lord of the Rings definitely
01:07:05 uh shows the twist you just mentioned
01:07:07 here how uh how they basically say the
01:07:11 descended ascend thing. They totally use
01:07:14 that in the Lord of the Rings for the
01:07:17 secret stair which is the twisted
01:07:19 version of Jacob’s ladder.
01:07:21 >> Yeah. Yes, they they do have that there
01:07:24 among other occulted uh movies. So,
01:07:28 >> yeah. Yeah.
01:07:29 >> But yes, Lord of the Rings is one of
01:07:31 them. Yes.
01:07:32 >> Yeah. There there’s lot the uh the the
01:07:36 false Jacob’s Ladder is a common thing
01:07:38 in a cult in um not a cult I would say
01:07:42 Gnostic movies. Gnostic movies.
01:07:45 >> Yes. And it’s even among believers who
01:07:48 don’t know any better but
01:07:51 >> think they do. Right. So
01:07:53 >> yeah.
01:07:54 >> Okay. Andrew, are you ready to read
01:07:56 verse 13?
01:07:59 >> Yeah. One second.
01:08:02 >> Verse 13.
01:08:04 >> Wherefore g up the loins of your mind.
01:08:08 be sober and hope to the end of for the
01:08:12 grace that is to be brought unto you at
01:08:15 the revelation of Jesus Christ.
01:08:17 >> Okay, so this is some I see something
01:08:20 really cool and right in that first
01:08:22 phrase there that gird up the loins of
01:08:26 your mind. Get your mind ready to work.
01:08:30 >> And I would say it’s even more than just
01:08:33 work. It’s get your mind ready to
01:08:36 battle. Yes.
01:08:37 >> Burning up your loins was done an
01:08:40 expression that goes along get ready for
01:08:42 war.
01:08:43 >> Well, it was done to get ready for war.
01:08:45 It was also done to get ready for
01:08:48 regular mana for manual physical labor.
01:08:51 >> Yeah.
01:08:53 >> It was both.
01:08:54 >> No. Okay. All right.
01:08:56 >> Uh because it’s very hard to go to war
01:08:59 with those uh long uh with those long
01:09:02 robes hanging around your ankles. It’s
01:09:04 also very hard to do uh manual physical
01:09:07 manual labor uh with those long robes
01:09:10 hanging around your ankles.
01:09:12 >> Okay.
01:09:13 >> No,
01:09:14 >> because that’s the that’s the purpose of
01:09:16 the girding up your loins is to
01:09:20 um is to get those get the skirts of
01:09:24 those robes out of the way of your the
01:09:26 movement of your legs.
01:09:28 >> Yeah. So you could run and be fast and
01:09:31 >> No. Yeah. No, there’s also the the whole
01:09:35 other thing about gerting up is like
01:09:37 getting ready like you know for example
01:09:40 like a bunch of like getting your armor
01:09:43 on and many other things equipment.
01:09:46 >> Yeah, that’s true. Putting on the armor
01:09:48 of God like Paul says.
01:09:50 >> Which goes along with the war but yes.
01:09:53 >> Yeah.
01:09:53 >> Yeah. So that’s gerting up the loins of
01:09:55 your mind getting ready to be be ready
01:09:57 to fight. Be ready to work because guess
01:10:00 what? Actually learning Torah is a lot
01:10:02 of work.
01:10:05 It’s a lot of work in your mind.
01:10:08 Actually learning Torah so that you can
01:10:10 keep it. And that’s your most effective
01:10:12 spiritual warfare is actually keeping
01:10:13 Torah and helping others to do the same.
01:10:16 Um
01:10:17 >> not spiritual
01:10:19 >> actually learning it but actually
01:10:21 learning.
01:10:22 >> Yeah. You don’t. This isn’t telling you.
01:10:25 This is not instructing you to learn all
01:10:26 sorts of spiritual warfare prayers.
01:10:29 >> Not spiritual war prayers. Sorry, folks.
01:10:33 >> Okay. Okay.
01:10:37 Are we
01:10:38 >> This is spiritual warfare, Johnny.
01:10:41 >> No, I mean,
01:10:44 right now, what we’re doing right now,
01:10:46 what we’re doing as we figure out what
01:10:48 is in the mind and will of Yah. This is
01:10:50 spiritual warfare.
01:10:54 Oh, I imagine more making a big deal
01:10:56 about them. Uh,
01:10:57 >> you’re you’re more wor. You’re still
01:11:00 you’re still st you’re stuck on those
01:11:01 prayers, aren’t you?
01:11:02 >> Yeah, those prayers. I need to probably
01:11:05 stop.
01:11:06 >> Yeah, you need to I I would say that’s a
01:11:08 good call.
01:11:10 Okay. So, one thing on 13 where in um
01:11:15 what was it? Another verse. I think it
01:11:17 was nine.
01:11:19 >> Yeah. Uh Joseph Smith re-ransated end to
01:11:22 object. He didn’t in 13 where we could
01:11:25 put a purpose or object for the grace,
01:11:28 right?
01:11:29 >> Yes. Yes.
01:11:30 >> Uh and I mean does mean purpose and so
01:11:34 it is actually okay how it is but it I
01:11:38 think in modern language it’s better a
01:11:41 purpose or object. I’m more prone to put
01:11:43 purpose but either way is fine.
01:11:45 >> Yeah. So that that word sober, be sober
01:11:50 means you need to take this seriously.
01:11:54 >> Yes. And also I think it goes along with
01:11:56 don’t being drunk or drunker to be more
01:12:00 specific.
01:12:01 >> A and it’s okay to be drunk
01:12:03 occasionally.
01:12:05 Um especially high holidays
01:12:08 anyway. But uh the one thing I I want to
01:12:12 bring out is a drunkard is someone who
01:12:15 just only drinks. They’re not doing
01:12:18 anything.
01:12:19 Um and that goes along with having joy
01:12:23 without keeping the commandments. And
01:12:25 that will deceive you and send you to
01:12:28 hell.
01:12:30 >> Just something else to kind of go along
01:12:32 with that. Bring a go into a spiritual
01:12:36 level on that.
01:12:38 Don’t get drunk on false doctrine.
01:12:44 >> Yeah. Yeah, I would agree with that.
01:12:47 >> So, this is this is this is that this is
01:12:50 more of that same thing of girding up
01:12:52 the loins of your mind. Be sober. Take
01:12:54 it seriously. Take the ends of your
01:12:56 faith seriously.
01:12:59 >> And uh don’t don’t don’t
01:13:03 uh don’t pollute your mind with false
01:13:05 doctrine. Don’t get drunk on false
01:13:07 doctrine. Um, also probably don’t want
01:13:12 to be spending a whole you don’t want to
01:13:14 be a habitual drunk. That’s going to
01:13:16 inhibit your mental capabilities. That
01:13:18 is the very opposite of girding up the
01:13:21 loins of your mind. [laughter]
01:13:24 >> So,
01:13:25 >> you can say that again.
01:13:26 Uh, so you know, you know, there’s
01:13:29 nothing nothing wrong with nothing wrong
01:13:31 with a glass of wine a day or or even
01:13:34 more on occasion,
01:13:37 but don’t be a habitual drunk.
01:13:40 >> Correct.
01:13:41 >> And uh, hope hope to the end for the
01:13:47 grace that is to be brought unto you at
01:13:49 the revelation of Yeshua Hamashiach.
01:13:52 So, I I will do a plug for uh Brennan
01:13:56 because he’s probably not prone to do
01:13:57 it, but his uh post on health and kosher
01:14:00 has a lot of verses on wine and so even
01:14:05 just for the the joy of it. So,
01:14:07 >> no, they go now. I did see a little bit
01:14:10 of uh Brandon’s po post when we looked
01:14:14 at it where especially around the uh the
01:14:19 portions of the New Testament where he
01:14:21 and I did see the vaccine in the pig bit
01:14:24 of it where we’re not supposed to
01:14:27 where we’re not supposed to take the
01:14:28 vaccines. We’re not supposed to eat pig.
01:14:30 We’re not supposed to. Yep. And you’re
01:14:33 >> correct. But that’s changing subjects a
01:14:35 little bit.
01:14:35 >> You’re changing the subject.
01:14:37 >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We’ll back up.
01:14:38 Okay.
01:14:39 >> So, you know, um
01:14:42 and this is one of those things that uh
01:14:45 we we can learn from and that is uh just
01:14:49 because something comes into your mind
01:14:51 if it’s not related to the subject at
01:14:53 hand, it’s pro you don’t necessarily
01:14:55 have to say it.
01:14:57 So,
01:14:58 >> sorry.
01:15:00 So, um, but the point is that we’re
01:15:04 getting on here that Peter is getting on
01:15:06 to here is get and get your mind ready
01:15:09 to work and to battle.
01:15:12 Be sober. Take it seriously and hope.
01:15:16 >> It’s a whole
01:15:17 >> let that hope
01:15:18 >> Oh, yeah. I’ll let you finish. Sorry.
01:15:21 >> And let that trust
01:15:23 because that hope is built in trust.
01:15:29 You’re trusting in the grace that has
01:15:31 been promised
01:15:33 >> and and just to let you know that Torah
01:15:38 is not an easy thing to do, but it it
01:15:41 but it is the purpose of life.
01:15:44 >> Yep.
01:15:45 >> So, um on that point, the reason it’s
01:15:48 hard is because society makes it hard or
01:15:53 >> uh it make or they mock you for it. It
01:15:56 it actually is pretty easy to be honest.
01:15:59 And and on that point, everybody wants
01:16:02 people to keep Torah with respect to how
01:16:05 they treat them. They’re how others are
01:16:08 treating them. They just don’t want to
01:16:10 do it for others. It’s really not that
01:16:12 hard.
01:16:12 >> It’s not what makes
01:16:14 >> And guess what? Yeshua summed it up in
01:16:17 uh two parts. Love Yahweh and love your
01:16:21 neighbor and yourself. That’s actually
01:16:23 really not that hard. It’s not hard. It
01:16:26 What makes it hard to do for most people
01:16:30 is that they actually care about
01:16:34 you. You’re placing another Elohim
01:16:38 above your Elohim
01:16:41 >> and you’re thinking you’re letting other
01:16:43 men judge you.
01:16:48 >> Oh,
01:16:49 >> goes against the first division of Torah
01:16:51 or the first commandment. Right. me.
01:16:54 >> So, yeah, definitely need to be careful
01:16:56 about about any of this about anything
01:16:59 like that.
01:17:00 >> Okay. All righty. So, can we move on?
01:17:03 >> Yes. Yes.
01:17:04 >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Um, Zach, do
01:17:08 you want to read 14?
01:17:14 Verse 14.
01:17:19 as obedient children, not fashioning
01:17:21 yourselves according to the former lusts
01:17:24 in your ignorance.
01:17:26 >> Oh. Oh. So, oh, wait a minute. So, in
01:17:31 other words,
01:17:33 this grace,
01:17:36 this hope to the end for the grace that
01:17:39 is to be brought on and brought on to
01:17:41 you at the revelation of Yeshua
01:17:42 Hamashiach, that is expressed as
01:17:45 obedient children.
01:17:47 >> Yeah. and not how you used to do things
01:17:50 in your life.
01:17:51 >> Oh,
01:17:51 >> because you’re ignorant.
01:17:53 >> Is that Is that like in Mosaiah 3:16?
01:17:57 >> Uhhuh. Yeah.
01:17:58 >> Where it says, “The natural man is an
01:18:00 enemy to God and has been from the fall
01:18:02 of Adam and will be forever and ever,
01:18:05 unless he yields to the enticings of the
01:18:07 Holy Spirit. He putteth off the natural
01:18:10 man and becometh a saint through the
01:18:14 atonement of Yeshua Hamashiach.
01:18:19 >> Yeah. Uh considering the spirit is Torah
01:18:22 which uh tells you what to do which thus
01:18:25 goes with obedient. I completely agree.
01:18:28 >> Yeah. uh and becometh as a child.
01:18:31 Submissive, meek, humble, p submissive,
01:18:35 meek, humble, patient, willing to submit
01:18:38 to whatever the father sees to inflict
01:18:40 upon him.
01:18:41 >> Yeah.
01:18:44 So that’s it.
01:18:46 Not going after the lusts of your
01:18:48 ignorance. So, uh, Brennan verse 15.
01:18:54 So, real quick, it’s just this is like
01:18:56 saying that Torah
01:18:59 is setting the bounds that you can do
01:19:01 things, right?
01:19:02 >> Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. Does that have
01:19:05 something to do with Zits?
01:19:07 >> No. No. I I I don’t know what those are
01:19:09 at all.
01:19:12 >> I guess you do.
01:19:13 >> I guess you do.
01:19:15 >> They are to remind us to stay within the
01:19:17 bounds that Yahweh has set.
01:19:19 >> Oh, yeah. There. It’s stated in the
01:19:22 scripture that they are there to remind
01:19:23 us of our command of the commandments.
01:19:26 >> Yeah. Aka the bounds that he set.
01:19:30 >> Yeah. If you walk outside those bounds,
01:19:32 you won’t be like him. [laughter]
01:19:35 >> That’s right. Go ahead, Brandon. What
01:19:36 were you going to say?
01:19:37 >> But but as he which hath called you as
01:19:40 holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
01:19:42 conversation.
01:19:43 >> Okay. So when he says conversation, he’s
01:19:46 not just talking about speaking.
01:19:49 This is a old English thing where in
01:19:53 conversation includes your works.
01:19:56 >> Yes. Uh words have changed their
01:19:58 meanings andor
01:20:01 people have forgotten some of the
01:20:02 definitions of words and it
01:20:05 >> so what it’s not saying is since Yeshua
01:20:10 is holy um talk holy. That’s not what
01:20:14 it’s saying.
01:20:17 behavior.
01:20:19 >> Yeah.
01:20:20 >> No, [laughter]
01:20:22 no. Uh,
01:20:25 no. What I’m No. Uh, the whole thing
01:20:29 about the a lot of is a lot of people
01:20:34 when it comes to the manner of allo
01:20:39 be holy and all manner of conversation
01:20:42 is a lot of people would want to say,
01:20:44 “Oh, don’t cuss. Don’t say any bad
01:20:46 words. Don’t
01:20:49 >> That’s not what this is saying.
01:20:51 >> Yeah, I I can see. But Johnny’s bringing
01:20:53 out a good point here. A lot of people
01:20:54 are going to say, “Well, that means
01:20:56 don’t say swear words.” That’s not what
01:20:57 it’s saying.
01:20:58 >> Oh, okay.
01:20:59 >> Yeah, it’s not it
01:21:02 this isn’t saying talk holy because
01:21:04 Yeshua is holy. This is saying be holy
01:21:08 as is stated in verse 16. If you’d read
01:21:11 that for us, Stephen. because it is
01:21:14 written as in Torah,
01:21:16 “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” And that’s
01:21:19 quoting uh from the five books of Moses.
01:21:22 >> I don’t remember where, but it is.
01:21:23 >> And this is actually going Yeah, that’s
01:21:26 true. This is actually going into um the
01:21:30 reason for which commandments are given.
01:21:33 >> Yeah. So we can be like him.
01:21:36 >> Yeah.
01:21:36 >> Which is holy. Aka have a holy behavior.
01:21:41 Oh, I mean holy spirit. Yeah. [laughter]
01:21:45 >> Yeah.
01:21:46 >> That’s inconvenient.
01:21:48 >> No, it’s not. It’s actually [laughter]
01:21:52 >> it’s very convenient if you want peace.
01:21:55 >> Yeah.
01:21:56 >> So, the question you have to ask, do you
01:21:58 want acceptance from man which makes you
01:22:01 always running after something to to
01:22:04 have the next pleasure or happiness or
01:22:08 do you want continual peace from Yahweh?
01:22:12 Yeah, that
01:22:13 >> which one will you find more convenient?
01:22:15 I know what I pick.
01:22:17 >> Hell yeah.
01:22:18 >> I would prefer uh the words of y’all
01:22:22 more than uh more than the next
01:22:24 convenient thing. I mean, convenient
01:22:26 things are good once they come, but I
01:22:29 prefer y’all’s things more than the
01:22:32 things of this world.
01:22:33 >> Very good, Johnny.
01:22:34 >> Uh yes. Uh and
01:22:38 and it and that will become more true
01:22:40 the more you the more you value Yahw’s
01:22:43 word. Yeah.
01:22:47 So uh I will read verse 17. And if you
01:22:51 call on the And if ye call on the father
01:22:54 who with resp who without respect of
01:22:56 persons
01:22:58 uh judgeth according to to every man’s
01:23:02 work
01:23:03 pass the time of your sojouring here in
01:23:07 fear.
01:23:09 Oh
01:23:10 I do not think that I don’t I think that
01:23:13 that is this is something similar to
01:23:16 working out your salvation with fear and
01:23:18 trembling.
01:23:19 >> Yeah. So if you call on the father, so
01:23:21 that’s going to be with prayer.
01:23:23 >> Yep.
01:23:23 >> And then they’re saying how um reminding
01:23:27 or Peter’s reminding them the father is
01:23:30 no respector of persons.
01:23:33 >> Yeah.
01:23:34 >> Which means that he judges everybody’s
01:23:36 works exactly the same way.
01:23:39 >> Oh shoot. I’m seeing something in here.
01:23:42 connection to the idea expressed by the
01:23:45 psalmist
01:23:48 that the prayer of the wicked is an
01:23:50 abomination onto him.
01:23:52 Yes, I I would agree with that because
01:23:55 he’s not going to even listen to it and
01:23:57 uh you’re wicked. So why are you asking
01:23:59 me for stuff, right?
01:24:00 >> I think I think that the Torah does
01:24:03 state something to the fact as well that
01:24:05 the prayer of the wicked person is an
01:24:09 abomination. Well, yes, of course it
01:24:11 does. It’s in the It’s in the Psalms.
01:24:13 >> Yeah, it’s Psalms 55 to be specific.
01:24:16 >> Y
01:24:18 >> So, but on the last part though is it’s
01:24:21 telling you how that you should be
01:24:24 spending your time here on earth
01:24:27 in reverence with Yahweh and his ways.
01:24:30 >> Yes.
01:24:31 >> Because he’s not a respector of persons.
01:24:34 meaning um
01:24:36 uh he’s not going to judge you
01:24:39 differently just because you think
01:24:40 you’ve gotten on his good graces. No,
01:24:43 >> you actually, if anything,
01:24:46 uh need to do a higher standard now.
01:24:50 >> Yeah. So, that’s one of the things that
01:24:52 I hear sometimes that makes me cringe
01:24:56 when people talk about how they’re good
01:24:58 with God now.
01:25:00 >> Yeah, that’s cringeworthy right there.
01:25:03 I I it makes me go
01:25:08 >> if only if only you knew what you were
01:25:11 saying and then I would try to tell them
01:25:13 what they’re saying, let them know what
01:25:15 they’re saying and then the conversation
01:25:18 usually goes sideways. But um
01:25:21 >> and uh and another thing that makes me
01:25:24 want to cringe sometimes is the whole
01:25:26 God knows my heart thing.
01:25:29 Yeah, it he does know your heart and
01:25:31 that’s the problem.
01:25:34 >> Yeah, he told you what your heart is.
01:25:35 It’s deceitful. He
01:25:36 >> knows it is desperately wicked.
01:25:39 >> Wicked and deceitful beyond measure.
01:25:41 >> Hence, that’s why you think it’s okay to
01:25:43 break his commandments because you’re
01:25:46 deceitfully wicked. So, I I I mean,
01:25:49 yeah, he knows your heart and you should
01:25:50 be fearful of that. So,
01:25:52 >> yeah. So, this is why they say to work
01:25:54 out your salvation with fear and
01:25:56 trembling.
01:25:56 >> Yeah.
01:25:58 It’s not so much that the person who is
01:26:01 in the walk with Yahw and actually
01:26:04 trying to live his word um needs to be
01:26:07 literally afraid of judgment and
01:26:10 hellfire.
01:26:12 It’s that the person who has it’s that
01:26:18 our we need to be afraid of our we need
01:26:20 to be more afraid of ourselves
01:26:24 and of our own hearts and of the fact
01:26:26 that we um the fact that we are
01:26:30 deceitfully wicked.
01:26:33 We need to be aware of ourselves
01:26:36 and we need to
01:26:38 this is why we need to put off the
01:26:41 natural man and become an become a saint
01:26:44 through the atonement of Christ of
01:26:48 uh of the anoint of the anointed Messiah
01:26:52 >> because the man by its own kind of is
01:26:54 just like a beast or an animal.
01:26:57 >> Mhm. Hence the
01:27:00 natural
01:27:01 creature or natural man, right?
01:27:06 >> Okay. So I suppose the next one is
01:27:09 Andrew of verse 18.
01:27:14 >> Okay. One second.
01:27:17 For as much as ye know that um ye were
01:27:22 not redeemed with corruptible things as
01:27:25 silver and gold from your vain uh
01:27:28 conversation received by tradition from
01:27:31 your fathers. So okay. So so this is why
01:27:36 you need to work out. Thank you for
01:27:38 reading that before you got off Andrew.
01:27:41 Thanks for thank thanks for everything
01:27:43 that you’re doing.
01:27:45 Um,
01:27:46 I hope you have a good night. Rest well.
01:27:50 For as much as you know that you were
01:27:52 not redeemed with corruptible things as
01:27:53 silver and gold
01:27:56 or from your vain conversation, your
01:27:58 vain behaviors received by tradition
01:28:02 from your fathers.
01:28:04 >> Oh, you know, like the whole minute
01:28:06 Valentine’s Day and all that.
01:28:08 >> Yeah, vain traditions.
01:28:09 >> Yeah, it’s a vain tradition. So, it’s
01:28:12 going off of how uh you shouldn’t be
01:28:15 doing things as you have done in the
01:28:17 past because it did you no good, right?
01:28:20 >> Yeah. But you were not redeemed with
01:28:23 corruptible things. You’re you your your
01:28:26 price for your soul was not paid in gold
01:28:29 or silver guild.
01:28:31 >> Right. Right. And but this also somewhat
01:28:32 goes along with the pagan traditions
01:28:35 where they were paying for these
01:28:36 offerings that supposedly were saving
01:28:39 them
01:28:39 >> or or the pagan tradition of law wherein
01:28:42 you paid uh wherein every soul had
01:28:47 wherein every life had its worth and you
01:28:50 and if you killed somebody you could get
01:28:52 you could get away with it by paying the
01:28:54 worth of that person.
01:28:57 >> H
01:28:59 that’s not easy. No, but that’s anyways
01:29:04 um so um but the the pagans did think
01:29:09 they could save themselves from these
01:29:12 offerings and sacrifices where this is
01:29:15 bringing out here that we’re saved by
01:29:16 the blood of the Messiah.
01:29:18 >> Yeah. And that fact
01:29:20 >> is that we accept him with a broken
01:29:23 heart and contrite spirit. Right.
01:29:25 >> Yeah. And that’s actually what it says
01:29:26 in the very next verse. Exactly.
01:29:28 >> Okay. I did I honestly didn’t read
01:29:30 forward
01:29:31 >> yet. It’s actually interesting how even
01:29:34 the uh how even both the Israelites and
01:29:37 sometimes the pagans actually do their
01:29:40 still do the offerings.
01:29:43 Uh
01:29:45 uh I think you need to be more specific
01:29:47 because uh yeah
01:29:51 >> no I’m talking about the offerings of
01:29:53 animals and all
01:29:55 >> the uh
01:29:56 >> animal sacrifice is coming back um
01:29:58 Johnny
01:29:59 >> yeah animal sacrifice is coming back the
01:30:01 it’s not the it’s not correct animal
01:30:04 sacrifice that is evil
01:30:06 >> it is thinking that you could save
01:30:08 yourself by your sacrifices that it’s
01:30:10 evil
01:30:11 >> right even if you do correct animal
01:30:13 sacrifices uh um through authorized
01:30:17 servants. If you think you’re saved
01:30:19 because of that, that’s evil. Um because
01:30:22 that’s not the blood of the lamb.
01:30:24 >> You’re denying the blood of the lamb.
01:30:26 >> Yeah.
01:30:27 >> Oh, yeah. Don’t know that.
01:30:29 >> So anyway, uh so may we proceed now?
01:30:33 >> Yeah.
01:30:33 >> Okay. Zach, would you like to read verse
01:30:36 19?
01:30:37 >> Yeah.
01:30:40 but with the precious blood of Messiah
01:30:43 as of a lamb without blemish and without
01:30:46 spot.
01:30:48 >> Yeah. So this is what we are redeemed
01:30:50 with the precious blood of the Messiah.
01:30:54 A lamb without blemish without spot.
01:30:56 This lamb without blemish and without
01:30:58 spot points to the daily lambs. It also
01:31:02 points to the Passover lamb.
01:31:05 >> It also points to how he lived his life.
01:31:08 >> Yep.
01:31:11 And also
01:31:12 >> he he kept Torah without
01:31:16 sin.
01:31:17 >> Yeah.
01:31:18 >> Proving
01:31:20 that a man in mortality could do it.
01:31:25 >> Great. Which goes on faith five
01:31:27 actually.
01:31:28 >> And therefore because man in immortality
01:31:32 can do it. Y is a just judge for judging
01:31:37 us by it.
01:31:39 >> Yeah.
01:31:42 >> Which is why you need to work out your
01:31:44 salvation with fear and trembling and
01:31:46 not trust in your not trust in your own
01:31:48 innate goodness.
01:31:50 >> Mhm.
01:31:51 >> Because man as itself it’s actually a a
01:31:55 be is a beast.
01:31:59 >> Yeah. And yes, you’ve said that before.
01:32:01 Thank you. Thank you for Thank you for
01:32:03 backing me up on that.
01:32:07 Okay, so verse uh Brennan, you want to
01:32:10 read verse 20?
01:32:12 >> Uh who verily was for ordained before
01:32:16 the foundation of the world, but was
01:32:18 manifest in these last times for you.
01:32:20 >> Oh, wait a minute. Is this another last
01:32:22 days verse?
01:32:24 >> Uh so I I did look at this. the uh Greek
01:32:28 word under times is not specifically
01:32:31 day.
01:32:33 >> So um I don’t know if that’s been a
01:32:36 perversion in the manuscripts or just a
01:32:38 weird way to say last days.
01:32:42 >> Um I’m inclined to think it is last
01:32:45 days. Okay. So I do agree with you
01:32:47 there, Ben, because that’s when he came
01:32:49 because last days starts with the first
01:32:51 coming.
01:32:52 >> I can’t support it by the manuscript.
01:32:55 >> Right. Right. So, this is this is one of
01:32:58 those things that uh this is one of
01:33:02 those things that depends on having a
01:33:04 correct definition of last days. And we
01:33:06 have a uh we have a resource page that
01:33:09 we can link to to help you understand
01:33:14 uh what last days refers to.
01:33:18 >> Yeah. So, and I’ll just re-emphasize I
01:33:21 do I I’m inclined to say the original is
01:33:24 last days. It’s just the manuscripts
01:33:26 that we have right now. I can’t prove
01:33:27 that.
01:33:28 >> Yeah. So, but he was for ordained before
01:33:32 the foundation of the world. So,
01:33:35 it it fordained before the foundation of
01:33:38 the world means that even though it
01:33:40 hadn’t happened in the in our physical
01:33:41 reality yet, it had happened.
01:33:45 >> Correct. And Adam felt the effect of it
01:33:49 before it happened.
01:33:51 >> Yeah. So, uh I think the I think the
01:33:56 lamb suffered from the foundation of the
01:33:59 world as I think that uh Jesus.
01:34:03 >> Yes.
01:34:04 >> Yes, it is. Uh it’s good to make that
01:34:06 explicit. Thank you, Johnny.
01:34:07 >> Yep.
01:34:10 >> Good job. Good job. Let’s see. Uh who
01:34:14 just read
01:34:16 >> I think it’s I think it’s Brenon read
01:34:18 last time.
01:34:19 >> I just read.
01:34:20 >> Okay. You just read Stephen, you want to
01:34:22 read verse 21?
01:34:23 >> Sure.
01:34:25 Who by him do believe in Elohim that
01:34:29 raised him up from the dead and give him
01:34:33 glory that your faith and hope might be
01:34:36 in Elohim.
01:34:38 >> Okay. So, um Oh, you go ahead, Ben.
01:34:42 >> Yeah. So, that u I’ll be right back.
01:34:45 That
01:34:46 >> that hymn is Yeshua.
01:34:50 And it
01:34:52 we by Yeshua we believe in Elohim.
01:34:56 This is a vague reference to modalism by
01:34:59 the way.
01:35:00 >> Mhm.
01:35:01 So by Yeshua, we believe in Elohim that
01:35:04 raised Yeshua up from the dead and gave
01:35:06 Yeshua his and gave the son who who
01:35:09 raised the son from the dead and gave
01:35:11 the son glory
01:35:13 that our faith and our hope that we
01:35:16 might have faith onto hope in our
01:35:20 Elohim.
01:35:23 Yeah. Well, you can’t have faith without
01:35:25 hope. They they go together. Um in clo
01:35:29 in fact Moroni 7 actually brings out how
01:35:31 you cannot have faith without hope and
01:35:34 charity which goes along with how I say
01:35:36 faith is hope and charity. Okay.
01:35:39 >> Okay.
01:35:40 >> Um but um but because Yeshua was raised
01:35:45 from the dead, we can have that trust
01:35:49 >> Mhm.
01:35:50 >> in Yahweh and his words. And we can have
01:35:54 that trust in what is referenced
01:35:56 earlier, that
01:35:58 inheritance, that incorruptible
01:36:00 inheritance. Oh
01:36:02 >> that we will receive if we are in the
01:36:05 kingdom.
01:36:08 >> Mhm.
01:36:11 >> Okay.
01:36:12 Raised him up from dead.
01:36:16 All righty. I guess it’s my turn now.
01:36:24 All right. Seeing you purified your
01:36:26 souls in obeying the truth. Oh, wait.
01:36:30 What purifies our souls? Obeying the
01:36:31 truth. Oh, through the spirit. Oh,
01:36:34 through the behavior unto unfeigned love
01:36:37 of the brethren. Guess what? The
01:36:39 brethren are not the leaders. The
01:36:41 brethren are just the
01:36:44 >> every single one of us here. Every
01:36:45 single one of us here.
01:36:46 >> It’s the fellow believers, the church,
01:36:48 right?
01:36:48 >> Yeah. Every single one of us here is one
01:36:50 of the brethren.
01:36:52 See that you love one another with a
01:36:55 pure heart fervently.
01:36:59 So that kind of goes along with how
01:37:01 Yeshua stated Torah was about how to
01:37:03 love him and uh everyone else including
01:37:07 yourself, right?
01:37:09 >> Mhm.
01:37:10 >> And how uh to purify your soul is to
01:37:15 keep his Torah. That’s how you become
01:37:19 pure. Because when you step outside of
01:37:22 that, that’s when you come defiled, the
01:37:25 opposite of pure.
01:37:28 See that you love one another with a
01:37:30 pure heart fervently. And this is one of
01:37:32 those things that reminds me of King
01:37:34 Benjamin’s address where he reminds them
01:37:37 that if they wish to retain
01:37:39 forgiveness of their sins, they need to
01:37:41 look after their brethren.
01:37:44 So they are their brother’s keeper
01:37:46 >> and they need to help those in need.
01:37:50 >> As in your brother’s keeper.
01:37:52 >> Yeah. Which by the way is a commandment
01:37:57 >> Torah.
01:37:58 >> Yeah.
01:38:00 And Yeshua uh did a wonderful imagery
01:38:04 about how when you give unto others, you
01:38:06 give unto me or what you did unto
01:38:08 others, you did unto me.
01:38:10 >> Yes.
01:38:12 So, Zach, verse 23.
01:38:16 >> Yes.
01:38:19 >> Being born again, not of corruptible
01:38:21 seed, but of incorruptible,
01:38:24 by the word of Elohim, which liveth and
01:38:26 abideth forever.
01:38:28 >> So, what are we born again by?
01:38:30 >> Yahweh’s word.
01:38:32 >> The word of Elohim. Yes.
01:38:34 >> So, one of the imageries of the seed is
01:38:37 the word of Yah. And that is the word of
01:38:41 Yahw that makes us a new creature or
01:38:44 born again.
01:38:46 >> You mean you’re not just coming up with
01:38:48 new excuses for why you can sin?
01:38:52 >> Um,
01:38:53 you shouldn’t be doing that. If you are,
01:38:56 you haven’t really repented.
01:38:58 >> That’s right. [laughter]
01:39:02 >> That’s pretty. Yep. that that so you
01:39:06 know it’s it’s very important that you
01:39:08 realize that Yeshua’s atonement is not
01:39:12 just a coverall excuse for you
01:39:16 doing whatever you want.
01:39:19 >> Oh, it’s kind of like a joke that we
01:39:21 used to keep sharing.
01:39:24 You didn’t die so we could so we could
01:39:26 have ham sandwiches.
01:39:29 uh that that’s that’s a really limited
01:39:32 that’s a really limited example there.
01:39:35 But it’s
01:39:38 it’s kind of along those lines. But at
01:39:40 the same time, what I’m saying is
01:39:43 there’s so many people
01:39:46 who use
01:39:49 there’s so many people who claim belief
01:39:51 in Yeshua who use that atonement
01:39:55 to simply write off
01:39:59 in their own minds the effects of
01:40:02 whatever sins that they do.
01:40:04 >> They they they haven’t become a new
01:40:06 creature. They said, “I can do whatever
01:40:08 I the hell I want now because I have the
01:40:10 atonement.”
01:40:12 >> That’s a big mistake.
01:40:14 >> That’s becoming the That’s the same
01:40:17 creature with new excuses.
01:40:19 >> Yeah.
01:40:21 >> You haven’t become again or born again.
01:40:25 You just have new excuses to keep doing
01:40:27 what you’re doing before.
01:40:29 >> If the if the law is not written,
01:40:33 I if the law if the desire to keep
01:40:36 Yahwa’s law is not on your heart, you
01:40:41 have not been born again.
01:40:47 Um,
01:40:50 >> if the desire to make all sorts of
01:40:52 excuses why you don’t need to keep
01:40:54 Yahwa’s law is what’s on your heart, you
01:40:58 have not been born again.
01:41:00 >> So, we need to be careful with this
01:41:02 statement. You may have been born again,
01:41:04 but then you unborn. You were a still
01:41:07 birth.
01:41:08 >> Still, sorry. Yes, you’re still
01:41:11 >> because we can uh
01:41:15 although and and Saul’s a very good
01:41:17 example of this. Although he was
01:41:19 sanctified and saved, he uh rejected it
01:41:23 after. The same thing can happen to
01:41:26 anybody. And uh once saved always saved
01:41:30 is a doctrine from hell with the author
01:41:33 of Satan. Okay.
01:41:35 >> Which sadly that’s shared in
01:41:37 Christianity. Yes, it is.
01:41:39 >> Yes. And they’re not the only ones, but
01:41:42 yes, they they’re probably the bigger
01:41:44 proponents of it.
01:41:45 >> But and now the last thing I want to
01:41:47 touch on in this, the word of God, which
01:41:49 liveth and abideth forever.
01:41:55 The commandments do not change.
01:41:58 >> What’s that f word again? I’m sorry.
01:42:01 >> Yeah, forever. I’m I’m sorry. I don’t
01:42:04 feel like stuttering it today, but it’s
01:42:06 forever.
01:42:08 >> [laughter]
01:42:09 >> That’s That hurts my ears.
01:42:11 >> For her
01:42:14 [laughter]
01:42:15 instead of whatever forever. Okay.
01:42:18 >> I took grandpa’s stance and basically
01:42:22 turned it into a
01:42:24 >> Yeah. So that it abides forever.
01:42:28 >> So did did does that mean it didn’t
01:42:33 change?
01:42:34 >> Yes.
01:42:35 >> Yes. It is unchanging. It is unchanging.
01:42:39 >> Avidth forever didn’t change. Okay.
01:42:42 Thank you.
01:42:43 >> Yeah. I I’m glad I could clear that up
01:42:45 for you.
01:42:45 >> Yes. Thank you. I was confused.
01:42:47 >> Yeah. [laughter]
01:42:49 So, Brennan is could read verse 24.
01:42:53 >> Where all flesh is as grass, and all the
01:42:55 glory of man is the flower of grass. The
01:42:58 grass witherth, and the flower thereof
01:43:00 fallth away.
01:43:02 >> Oh, wow. And now verse 25, Stephen.
01:43:05 >> Well, wait, wait, wait a minute. This is
01:43:07 just being going off how
01:43:10 >> um so flowers have to do with Torah.
01:43:12 Okay.
01:43:13 >> And grass is something that just it
01:43:15 comes and goes. Okay.
01:43:18 >> Yeah. Just like
01:43:20 >> Yeah.
01:43:21 >> Just like the glory of man, it just
01:43:23 comes and goes. Like Napoleon, he came
01:43:26 and he left. Right. like like the
01:43:30 kingdoms and the empires of Daniel’s
01:43:32 statue.
01:43:34 >> Like for example, Alex empire
01:43:37 >> they come and they go. Yeah. Even
01:43:40 Solomon’s is just come and go even.
01:43:43 Yeah. Okay. And and so glory comes from
01:43:47 keeping Torah. And this is why he’s
01:43:49 bringing up flower because flower is
01:43:50 symbolic of um Torah. Okay. Yeah.
01:43:54 >> And so
01:43:56 men’s glory comes and goes. That’s what
01:44:01 >> and and the and the and the flower that
01:44:03 comes from man or the glory that comes
01:44:07 from man or the beauty that comes from
01:44:09 man fades.
01:44:11 >> It’s falls away.
01:44:12 >> It’s similar to another example of this
01:44:15 is like for Alexander’s empire. It risen
01:44:18 and then it fallen and fell to pieces.
01:44:21 >> Yeah. Yeah. Alexander had glory for a
01:44:23 while and then he didn’t.
01:44:26 >> Yeah. And then he was dead.
01:44:28 >> Yeah.
01:44:29 >> And then his empire was gone.
01:44:31 >> Yeah. The moment he died, his empire
01:44:33 split into four pieces.
01:44:34 >> Yes. Yes. Yeah. As prophesied uh through
01:44:37 Daniel before it happened. But anyways,
01:44:39 >> so so now read verse 25 if you would,
01:44:42 Stephen.
01:44:42 >> Yes. But the word of Yahweh endureth
01:44:46 forever,
01:44:49 meaning it applies forever. It’s never
01:44:53 going to have a time where it does not
01:44:57 um have its applications or purpose or
01:45:02 effect on you. Okay?
01:45:06 And this is the word which by the good
01:45:09 news is preached unto you.
01:45:13 And the good news that that Yeshua paid
01:45:16 my debt and your debt, our debt of sin,
01:45:22 which is actually in Torah. Torah
01:45:26 teaches this throughout. And I we’ve
01:45:29 done recordings where expounding the
01:45:32 sacrifices that point to his atonement.
01:45:35 Not all of them, but some of them,
01:45:37 right?
01:45:38 >> Yeah.
01:45:38 >> I only have so many hours in a day.
01:45:41 >> Yeah, we we can only do so many of these
01:45:44 recordings.
01:45:45 >> Yeah. Yeah. Uh I mean, we do them
01:45:46 regularly, once a week for the most
01:45:48 part, right? But anyways,
01:45:49 >> but uh what Yahweh has declared
01:45:55 is set in stone, meaning it will not go
01:45:58 away. Mhm.
01:46:01 >> And this is the word which by the gospel
01:46:07 is preached unto you. The word Torah
01:46:12 with the gospel is what they teach is
01:46:15 what an apostle teaches.
01:46:17 >> And I would just even go even uh more.
01:46:20 The gospel, the good news is a subset
01:46:23 of the word.
01:46:25 >> Yeah. not teach people how to do
01:46:28 self-help, nor any of that nonsense.
01:46:32 >> Yes, apostles do not provide self-help
01:46:35 manuals.
01:46:37 >> Nor any of that depends
01:46:38 >> of which if you’re talking the true ones
01:46:40 or the false ones cuz false
01:46:41 >> Yeah, that’s true. There’s false
01:46:43 apostles.
01:46:44 >> But um
01:46:47 the good news points us to Yeshua
01:46:50 and then Yeshua brings us to the law to
01:46:53 become like him. Because the truth of
01:46:55 the matter is,
01:46:57 just to wrap this up, our hope is in
01:47:01 Yeshua. It is not in ourselves. No, our
01:47:06 hope is in Yeshua.
01:47:10 Our trust
01:47:16 which guides our actions
01:47:18 must be founded in Yeshua.
01:47:23 He showed us the way by living Torah
01:47:27 perfectly.
01:47:32 And if we are to be his disciples, we
01:47:34 must walk in his footsteps.
01:47:40 Are you a disciple
01:47:44 or do you make excuses?
01:47:50 Because you can’t do both.
01:47:53 >> Now the charge to the apostles was not
01:47:57 to preach the word to everybody. It was
01:47:59 to make everyone disciples. Disciples
01:48:02 means you believe the word and then you
01:48:04 start doing it. Hey gay uh come under
01:48:07 his covering and start keeping Torah.
01:48:09 And it is absolutely clear from the
01:48:12 first chapter of this epistle that this
01:48:14 is people who are doing this from among
01:48:19 the Gentiles
01:48:21 that are meeting with the dispersion.
01:48:27 These are who he’s writing to
01:48:29 people who are doing this. Yep. Right.
01:48:33 He is not none of the promises
01:48:36 in the future chapters of this
01:48:40 epistle apply to anybody else.
01:48:48 You don’t get to be a royal priesthood
01:48:51 unless you’re keeping Torah.
01:48:55 Correct. Um because to be get into the
01:48:58 priesthood first you are striving to
01:49:01 keep Torah. Um but and that’s in the
01:49:04 next chapter.
01:49:05 >> That’s in the ne but that’s in the next
01:49:07 chapter. Preview of coming attractions.
01:49:10 You don’t
01:49:14 nothing else in the rest of this book is
01:49:18 for anybody who is not under the
01:49:21 covering of Yeshua Hamashiach and
01:49:23 keeping Torah.
01:49:25 In fact to going along with it here
01:49:27 there’s a there’s a the ver in this
01:49:31 first verse of the second chapter where
01:49:34 it says wherefore lay aside all manner
01:49:37 of malice guile hypocrisies
01:49:41 I
01:49:43 envies and all manner of speaking of
01:49:47 evil
01:49:48 >> which are are things that Yahweh’s Torah
01:49:53 states are evil. Right.
01:49:56 >> So, so I would encourage So, I would
01:49:59 encourage anybody who wa who happens to
01:50:02 watch this video.
01:50:07 Let’s
01:50:08 take Yeshua at his word.
01:50:11 Realize that not one y or tit
01:50:17 of Torah
01:50:21 will pass away
01:50:24 while a heaven or earth
01:50:27 exists.
01:50:29 >> And guess what? Heaven and earth is
01:50:31 never going to stop existing. So,
01:50:34 >> so let’s start the the the
01:50:38 humble are going to inherit the earth.
01:50:41 It’s not going to go away. So,
01:50:43 >> right um earth becomes heaven.
01:50:46 >> Yeah.
01:50:48 So the the thing is so we need to
01:50:53 understand
01:50:56 that Yeshua
01:51:02 needs if we love Yeshua, we need to keep
01:51:05 his Torah
01:51:06 >> indeed. And that is going to and that is
01:51:10 going because when we come under his
01:51:13 covering, we promise that we will
01:51:16 and we need to keep our promises.
01:51:19 We need to be men, women, children of
01:51:24 honor
01:51:27 because it is our honor that
01:51:31 when Satan asks Yahw to give him his
01:51:34 power,
01:51:36 he says, “Give me thine honor.”
01:51:38 >> Yeah.
01:51:40 >> Our honor is our power.
01:51:44 >> Yeah. And our word.
01:51:45 >> Mhm.
01:51:47 I’m trying to keep my honor here.
01:51:50 >> And the power of Yahweh is Torah. That
01:51:54 is his word.
01:51:56 >> So walk in Torah.
01:51:59 Under assume that Yeshua knows more than
01:52:05 the early Christian fathers told you
01:52:07 that Paul knew.
01:52:09 >> Yep.
01:52:14 >> Because Paul actually knew what Yeshua
01:52:16 knew. And the early Christian fathers
01:52:18 have dumbed him down for you.
01:52:20 >> Yeah. And and
01:52:22 >> they did.
01:52:24 >> They mixed the Hebrew thought with Greek
01:52:27 philosophy which was evil to do that was
01:52:31 mixing good and evil together which is
01:52:34 >> which led up to what we got as current
01:52:37 Christianity.
01:52:38 >> Yes.
01:52:39 >> Yes. And so I would say
01:52:44 start keeping start living by the word.
01:52:50 Start living by the word.
01:52:53 You need to know what’s in the law.
01:52:56 When you know what’s in the law, as you
01:52:58 receive these commandments, receive
