02:21
Tonight we're going to go back into Hebrews Hebrews chapter 1 verses 13 and 14 and continue to look at the most quoted verse from the
02:32
Old Testament in the New Testament and There The New Testament uses it to show different point many different points
02:45
To make many different points a Lot of times we use
02:51
It's pointing back to Psalm 110 and and we read that last week.
02:56
We can look at it again tonight but it points back to Psalm 110 and a
03:01
Lot of times because Dan and I have talked so much about eschatology We pull out from that the the part of Psalm 110 where Jesus enemies are being made his footstool are being put underneath his feet and that last enemy is going to be death and and we even talked about last week how
03:23
That is that is the thing that is happening now the victory that Christ had on the cross is is being played out in in our time
03:34
From the time of his ascension and seating at the right hand of the Father from then until now and on into the future that that's what is taking place the the outworking the results of Christ's victory on the cross and that is
03:50
God Putting his enemies under the the feet of Christ and we the last verse that we looked at Dan was was
03:58
Revelation 19 Where where Jesus the Word of God? Is using the
04:03
Word of God as a sword to Rule and reign to to save and protect and preserve his people and also to bring justice
04:10
Here on this earth and and working out using his word to work out Psalm 110
04:17
Bringing his enemies under his feet and also making enemies his friends as you pointed out last time.
04:22
Mm -hmm Yep, and we only heard that a few minutes ago. Everyone else had to wait
04:28
That's right, that's right, it is kind of strange to it is kind of strange to record like this because we just talked about it but You will have have to hear it a week
04:40
More than just a set of clothes. We just don't just didn't change. That's right So we're looking at Psalm 1
04:47
Psalm chapter. Uh, excuse me Hebrews. We're in Hebrews Hebrews chapter 1 verses 13 and 14 and At this point it will be a conversation that you and I had a week earlier
05:02
Before the podcast, but I appreciate what you said Before the conversation that we had off -air where we were talking about why we wanted to look at Hebrews while we wanted to go to the book of Hebrews itself and And you made the comment that well studying all the scripture
05:19
Going to Hebrews studying Hebrews will help give us a robust a deeper understanding
05:30
More biblical type theology of Certain doctrines that we want to hold to from Scripture like eschatology
05:40
We if we go to other places beside just Revelation or The prophecies that we find in the
05:47
Old Testament if we if we look through it, go ahead. What was the newspaper? I Don't go there
05:54
Don't go to the newspaper. Don't get your theology from the newspaper or your hermeneutics Don't learn your human hermeneutics 101 from the newspaper
06:04
But yeah, I mean what you were saying was exactly right. We go to go throughout all Scripture to get a deeper understanding of eschatology
06:14
Go ahead right each one of the the Things That's brought up in Hebrews is pointing to Christ.
06:24
So the priesthood the Old Testament sacrificial system The sacrifices the
06:33
Melchizedek which we're going to talk about quite a bit today The angels
06:42
Mankind all of it if you if you look at all of it Individually as you're coming through the
06:48
Old Testament you may Not pick up on what it's saying.
06:53
I mean you should if you read it enough You should be able to pick up on it but Let's face it.
07:00
Not everybody is read the scripture that much So it's nice to have something that can kind of point that out and spell that out for you
07:07
Hebrews does just that the each and every one of the the aspects of the
07:12
Old Testament that that's being revealed is Pointing to an aspect of Christ His forgiveness of sins or his deity
07:22
It's all pointing to him So if you if you learn to see those things in the
07:28
Old Testament as you're reading it Then when you come into the New Testament, you have a much better understanding of what's actually going on You remember the
07:36
Old Testament types and shadows and that they're pointing to Christ You remember the Old Testament language and the judgment and all those things and how they're pointing to Christ then when you hear
07:44
Christ speak you can see how he's making the shift from the Old Covenant system to the New Covenant system and As he's making that shift of how they're doing things
07:54
You you can see the outworking of it moving on towards your eschatology
08:00
So your view of the end times know what's gonna happen in the future or what's gonna happen from here until Christ returns?
08:08
Or here until the end You know what what happens and so, you know that if you look all the way through the the
08:14
Old Testament Scriptures and you Understand the trajectory of Scripture going throughout if you come to the end and you have something that doesn't fit that trajectory
08:23
You're probably off base Won't name any names
08:31
But y 'all know who I'm talking about Let me ask you this question before we jump in any further to looking at these verses
08:42
I'm thinking about the different Eschatological views sure you're you're pre -meal pre -trib dispensationalist your your a meal your post meal your your mid -trib
08:55
I mean just all of them and I look at this verse the verse that's quoted the most in the
09:01
New Testament from the old and If you are a pre -tribulation rapture dispensationalist and You come across this verse in Psalm 110 in Hebrews in Matthew all these other places that that quote or allude to Psalm 110 where The Lord says to my
09:23
Lord sit in my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet How does a pre -tribulation rapture dispensationalist understand this verse?
09:36
They believe that the that They believe that that when
09:44
Christ Alright, it's changed some There's been a lot of pushback on Dispensationalists because they used to say that Christ is in no way seated on the throne of David His kingdom is in no way come yet, and it will only come at the time of the
09:59
Millennium They've shifted on that some and I think it's a good step. I think they need to go a lot farther
10:07
It's a good step because they're recognizing that that there is a sense in which Christ's kingdom has begun
10:14
There is a sense in which Christ is seated upon the throne of David now They believe that they're waiting for the consummate reality of Christ actually coming down and physically seat sitting himself upon the throne in the temple in Jerusalem You know real sticks and stones earthy point to it on a map type stuff.
10:34
Yeah Whereas we understand that Sitting at the right hand of the father is sitting at the right hand of the father in heaven
10:44
All right, that is the seat of David right? He's really in reigning now that his kingdom will grow forever and ever let me use their favorite word
10:53
He is literally sitting at the right hand of the father. I Believe he's literally sitting up there, too
10:59
Right Yeah, what was the passage we read just a little bit ago is
11:04
Hebrews 10, wasn't it? Hebrews 10 I Believe it kind of puts it it puts it
11:14
It kind of puts the dispensational argument to rest because there's not a sense in which and then it's fully coming later
11:23
It says it quoting the same the same verse from from Psalm 110
11:33
Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices which can never take away sin
11:40
But he having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time Which is quoted also in Hebrews 1.
11:49
I says he sat down at the right hand of God Sit at my right hand no from Psalm 110
12:03
Waiting from that time onward from the time that he sat down Onward waiting present tense waiting
12:15
Until his enemies be made a footstool for his feet He's talking about it as a present reality.
12:22
Yeah, so that's something it's not just a a Happening a little bit now, but much more later
12:29
It was at the time of his ascension that he sat down at the right hand of the father He said where am
12:37
I going I'm going to the father like what's he gonna do just stand around But he was going up there to sit at his right hand.
12:43
That's that's where he was going He was going to share with the glory of God the glory that God doesn't share with anyone
12:49
Which also speaks to Christ deity. That's right. That's right. And and that's why I think this this verse that we're looking at tonight
12:57
Points points us to More to the post -millennial view sure.
13:03
I mean from a preacher dispensational view What has to happen because it is this verse speaks as if it's a continual thing
13:14
It's a continual process that that God is working out But if if you hold to the dispensational view, then you the
13:22
Millennial Kingdom hasn't started yet And it's gonna be a literal thousand years, but there's gonna be this thousand years where this it's this
13:30
Golden Age where there's There's not gonna be death. The Jesus is gonna reign here on earth and it's well, there's there's some
13:42
Iffiness to that, okay, some people believe that there will be death but not death for everyone because Remember that the time of the
13:55
The beginning of the new heavens in the new earth Dispensationalist will also take that to be the Millennial Kingdom. Mm -hmm
14:00
That's wrong. Um, and so what they'll say is that there's still some death that happens upon the earth, but it will be greatly reduced
14:10
That if you died a hundred you'll be called young right stuff like that So the we'll say that there'll be some death
14:17
But they'll also say that those Saints who come back with Christ to roll around on the earth. They can't die again So there'll be some immortal humans
14:25
And some mortal humans, right? I don't know how that works But Yeah, well, so maybe oh maybe
14:35
I'm a little off and I don't want to misrepresent Sure. I mean, there's so many different positions out there and I Had a class on it and I don't want to brag but I got a 98 and it was at a dispensational school
14:49
And so I don't know I could be off on some stuff Really didn't understand everything but I really wanted to make sure that I could at least represent the position
14:59
Well, right or say that I don't know right, right, which that could happen.
15:05
Yeah Well, I still think that these this passage Points us more to the post -millennial view.
15:13
Yeah Yeah so, um Let's continue looking at some other other verses that point to or allude to some 110 sure
15:26
Well, let's look at So the Psalm 110 verse 4
15:34
Says the Lord has sworn and will not change his mind
15:40
You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek Now Melchizedek is an interesting guy
15:54
Melchizedek is I heard I heard one person say that that they thought that Even in in the
16:03
Lord of the Rings the books. There's a character called Tom Bombadil He like comes in just randomly sings some little happy song and just like bleeds
16:15
He just he comes on the scene. He does this thing. He's out and you just you just like reading through the page
16:21
Like what was that? Where did this come from? Who is this guy? He had no beginning. No, and you don't know where he came from Don't know where he went and that's kind of the idea of Melchizedek If you look look the quotation is coming from Hebrews 7 or that Part of Psalm 110 is quoted in Hebrews 721
16:44
So we will go Is it 721? Yes We'll back up a little bit into Verse We'll have to go all the way back to verse 11 to catch the context.
17:04
Gotcha Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, he's talking about the contrast of priesthoods
17:11
Levitical priesthood being Aaron and his sons and the whole Levite system that whole thing for on the basis of it the people received the law what further need was there for another priest or rise according to the order of Melchizedek and Not to be designated a quarter according to the order of Aaron For when the priesthood is changed of necessity there takes place a change of law also
17:38
For the one concerning for the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe from which no one has
17:48
Officiated at the altar in other words The the Levites were supposed to be the ones who were taking care of the altar.
17:54
This guy's coming from somewhere else He's not a part of the Levites So how in the world is he supposed to be there?
18:01
There has to be a change in law because if you go by the political priesthood law Melchizedek can't serve at the altar.
18:07
So there has to be a change. There has to be something that's different or something different here Where are we at verse?
18:15
13 for the one concerning a note verse 14 for it is evident that our
18:21
Lord was descended from Judah a Tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
18:27
So Jesus physical Human lineage came from Judah. They are not
18:33
Levites. So they're not priests And this is clearer still if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek Who has become such has become such not on the basis of law of physical requirement but according to the power of an indestructible life
18:54
Indestructible life now think about that the trauma Immortality here now that is incredible It says this
19:03
For it is attested of him The one who is who they're speaking of with that indestructible life
19:10
You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, which is the second half of Verse four now, let's look for the first half of verse four is also quoted a little bit a little bit down below For on the one hand there is a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness for the law
19:31
Made nothing perfect on the other hand There is the bringing in of a better hope through which we draw near to God and in as much as it was not without It was not without an oath
19:44
For they indeed became priests without an oath But the one with an oath through the one who said to him the
19:52
Lord has sworn and Will not change his mind you are a priest forever and we know the next line from Psalm 110 says after the order of Melchizedek now, what is he talking about an indestructible life?
20:12
Genesis 14 I'm sorry,
20:22
Robert. I'll let you talk here in a second. Keep going. Keep going 14 or 17 says then after his return from the defeat of Jadar Lamar and The kings who were with him the king of Sodom went out to meet with him at the valley of Sheba that is the
20:40
Kings Valley and Melchizedek king of Salem Salem meaning peace
20:46
Brought out bread and wine. Now. He was a priest of God Most High He blessed him and said blessed be
20:54
Abram the God of God Most High Possessor of heaven and earth and blessed be
20:59
God Most High who has delivered your enemies into your hand He gave him a tenth of all the king said
21:08
To Abram give the Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself and Abram said to the king of Sodom I have sworn to the
21:18
Lord the God Most High Possessor of heaven and earth I will not take a thread of the sandal or a sandal thong or anything that is yours
21:25
So you see Melchizedek show up with bread and wine Abraham gives him stuff the king of Melchizedek blesses him and then he's gone
21:37
You don't hear about him anymore Where did he go? Where did he come from?
21:43
It's like a cotton -eyed Joe song over here Like you don't know where he came from you don't know where he went
21:54
He just kind of popped on the scene with bread and wine said Bless be God and blessed be you for who gave you that your enemies into your hand and boom he's gone
22:03
So he's one that that had no beginning has no end is
22:09
Full of good things bread and wine pointing to Christ. I mean that's communion right there
22:15
He gave him the Lord's Supper before the Lord's Supper was the Lord's Supper and then he blessed him and this pointing to Christ as a picture of Melchizedek is a picture of Christ The one who has no beginning
22:31
Who has no end who has the bread and the wine who he gives freely to his people who he blesses and we give our
22:39
We give our stuff to him, right? Why because really it was it was
22:44
Christ's anyway But it's amazing that he swore an oath
22:51
Was an oath by God That established Christ as priests forever
22:57
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind This is this was something that that God had decreed from eternity past and he's not gonna change his mind about it
23:08
It's the same thing in Psalm 2 where he says The nation's rage and God laughs at them he holds them in derision because they want to take over the world and he says
23:18
I already have my king that I'm gonna set up and You guys have nothing to do with it and I'm going to set him up this guy is forever a king now here
23:28
He's forever a priest He's also the prophet from Moses. So you got prophet priest and King right there from Deuteronomy So that it's really interesting how he draws
23:41
Melchizedek into this right, I Was I was curious also about this this changing of the law
23:49
Which is which is a huge conversation, you know for us as Christians, how do we view the law? How do we understand it?
23:56
How do we interpret it? How do we apply it to our lives and here Hebrews is saying That there had to be a change in the law because Jesus was not of this this line that the law says he must come from so I'm thinking about this this law and What what changes it speaking of what was it talking about?
24:18
And I was just thinking and you can let me know if you think this connection is is going in the right direction but One of the things that that was mentioned in the podcast that we shall not name at this time
24:33
There's a couple of them now there's two now there's two now It's it's the
24:40
It's the newest one the newest podcast He was speaking of how
24:46
Jesus said that we will Worship in spirit and in truth or in the reality of the spirit.
24:53
So so what has changed is We we understand the
24:59
Old Testament we apply the New Testament we we live as New Testament Christians According to the spirit and the reality of the spirit we under understand things spiritually
25:10
And So do you think that that may be the the change that has occurred here in Hebrews is that it's no longer
25:21
By the letter but by the spirit and that's how Jesus can now be considered a priest because it's it's the laws
25:29
Change into being understood spiritually Kind of okay.
25:34
I think depending on how you're defining your terms. I think you're on the right track. Okay because what what he's the
25:43
The whole context what he's saying is there was a law that determined Who the priests were going to be and those priests were always
25:51
Levites because that's the way that God handed it down This is the way the nation of Israel is going to work Now he's saying that there's someone else who's coming in and he has a legitimate claim to a priesthood that God has established
26:03
But it's not based on The Levitical law it's based on a different law and what law is that I believe it's the law
26:12
The eternal law of God. It's his decree So he set up this is the way the nation of Israel will work and here's the
26:19
Levitical priesthood This is the way that that God is set up for his priest this is what the
26:26
Levitical priesthood was pointing to it was the type and shadow the Melchizedekian priesthood is the fulfillment of it
26:35
A fellow one of my fellow RP's Denny Pruto wrote a book
26:42
Public worship 101 It talks about know why you should sing the Psalms and not use instruments in worship
26:49
And no, he's really good at that kind of stuff So read it, but it's not what he's getting out here in the first the first bit and talking about that verse
26:57
He says this now I just happen to have this I was just reading through it and it just was relevant
27:04
Second Christ therefore also speaks of worship in spirit and truth in verse 24
27:11
He says such worship is necessary. We must worship in spirit and truth spirit and truth is a
27:18
And this is a big word he'll define it here in a second a handy oddies
27:27
What is that? It's a figure of speech for referring to one thing using two nouns that are connected with the word and So it's two nouns the word and in the middle and it means
27:39
Something it's it's a one thing, but you use two nouns to draw it together We interpret this figure of speech as truly spiritual worship
27:52
As such worship then is from the heart truly spiritual worship is of the
27:57
Father Through the Son by the power of the Spirit so it's a worship that that recognizes the reality of the
28:07
Godhead as God has revealed himself to be and it It doesn't necessarily rely upon physical ritual, but on the reality of the
28:18
Spirit God who is spirit no father and Son and spirit, you know,
28:25
God is spirit and does not have a body like men like the Children's Catechism says so I Forget why that was relevant, but if it was just run with it
28:39
You were helping me define my terms so that the direction that I was going would be relevant.
28:45
I think it was And if not, somebody will just get confused of what we just talked about and have fun with it anyway
28:53
What in the world are they? We don't know No, cuz
28:59
Nick is also mentioned in chapter 5 of Hebrews this same
29:07
Section. I know I kind of jumped on but oh, yeah, we lost train of thought. So we're just gonna jump in somewhere else
29:13
We'll lose that train of thought to it. It'd be great Starting in first bit of chapter 5 for every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God in Order that both gifts and sacrifices for sins he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided since he himself also was beset with weakness and Because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins as for the people so also for himself
29:46
So he has to make sacrifices for the people and himself He has to yet he can be sympathetic to their needs because hey
29:53
He needs to have those sacrifices as well, which is also one of the reasons why we preachers and pastors
30:01
Need the gospel We need to hear it frequently because we're sinners too and our people are not the only ones who need to hear the gospel
30:09
That's something that we need to remember a lot, especially those of us who speak along a lot
30:15
It says this in verse 4 and no one who takes the honor to him and no one takes the honor to himself
30:22
But receives it when he is called by God Even as Aaron was so you can't just be a priest because you want to be you've got to be called by God So also
30:33
Christ did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest but he
30:40
Who said to him? You are my son today. I have begotten you remember that was also quoted back in Hebrews 1
30:48
Just as he also says in another passage. You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek So what's being said here is that?
31:00
Jesus was not just some other guy. He wasn't just someone who was out there
31:08
Trying to become a leader and taking this upon himself God himself appointed him to the priesthood and I think that's where your change in law comes in because The Levitical priesthood would not allow somebody from Judah to be a priest
31:25
Christ was from Judah and yet God very clearly said you are my son today
31:31
I've begotten you Claimed him as his son, and then he said you were a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek So you were a priest forever and not like those
31:42
Levitical priests you were going to be different. You're gonna show up Eternal you're going to have bread and wine in your hand and blessings for your people which is
31:53
Absolutely, beautiful every time we take the Lord's Supper. He has bread and wine and blessings for his people or Bread and grape juice
32:02
But we're working on that I'll take either one.
32:08
Either one's following me for now. I'll take it. I'll take it while I get it Let me we we have approached the end of our time
32:17
I just wanted to ask you one more question There's quite a few other verses that we could look at but we'll end chapter 1
32:25
I with this question Chapter 1 verse 13 and 14 is is where we would have been at looking at Psalm 110 which is quoted here sit in my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool over your feet and then
32:40
Looking at 14 a little bit. Yeah, are they not all ministering spirits? Speaking of the angels which
32:47
Jesus is better than sent out to render service For the sake of those who will inherit salvation
32:57
Do you think that? What they are doing this this rendering of service is a part of pointing back to verse 13
33:07
Which is pointing back to Psalm 110 part of their rendering of service it is part of that process of Making your enemies a footstool putting them under your feet
33:22
We see which we're going to get to next time chapter 2 that it was for For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, so they they were
33:31
Indeed messengers is what is what their namesake is angels means messengers. So they were messengers of the the
33:39
Word of God and And so and then we learn in in these videos Last week will be last week now.
33:47
We looked at Revelation chapter 19 then the tool or the weapon that God uses is
33:54
His word to to render justice or or to save to make enemies his friends so he's while he's raining and while he's
34:04
What the tool that he's using to put the enemies under his feet is the Word of God here on this work earth
34:11
So do you think that The rendering of service that the that these angels these ministering spirits are doing is part of this putting enemies under the feet of Christ Yes, okay, but it
34:34
It's not as if they're like going rogue and just doing their own thing. Oh, yeah, they're doing it it says here
34:44
Set out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation So they're doing it at the command of the one who's giving them their command now the way that Hebrews puts it
34:56
It's kind of saying, you know It goes through proving the deity of Christ through passage after passage after passage and says
35:02
But to which of the angels did he say? Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your seat
35:09
For your feet say are they not all ministering spirits set out to render service?
35:16
for Those who will inherit salvation So they're they're doing work
35:23
But the real work was done by Christ on the cross right now with that said the angels were there to tell
35:33
To tell people hey, he's not here. He's risen The angels if I'm not mistaken
35:39
Yeah, and acts one were there. What are you staring at? He's not here
35:44
He went up there and he's coming back the same way that he he went They're clearly angels and Hebrews itself says that we entertain angels the
35:57
King James says unawares like we don't know that we're that so angels are absolutely in Somehow some form and fashion doing work of seeing people save It doesn't mean that you're doing the saving
36:13
But they're definitely behind the scenes doing what God asks of them toward that end.
36:19
Yeah Yeah, and once again, and it's not without the
36:24
Word of God clearly in verse 2 For it if the Word of God spoken through angels, so it's not absent of the
36:32
Word of God It's with the Word of God always right and that's why it's so dangerous because You do have those those good ministering spirits seeking
36:44
Salvation for those who are going to be saved. You also have those fallen angels who
36:52
Don't they seek your destruction? they want to give you worldly pleasures and and things of the world and all the while they'll take them away from you at the drop of a hat and Watch you struggle and suffer and laugh all the while while you're on your way to hell
37:13
They they want to see you deceived so It's a it can be it can be a scary thing to know that you you have hordes of demons
37:25
Satan himself all coming for your soul but it's it's it's also very comforting knowing that not only that but you have
37:35
Christ with his White horse who's riding with his his Robe dipped in the blood of his enemies who is coming with his saints who are the armies of heaven and angels in great hosts and armies of angels all serving to see the salvation of men and doing so because Christ came and died on the cross and laid in the grave and took sins away and Provided a means of salvation for folks
38:09
So that way if if anyone is to turn from their sin and repent and believe in Christ They they find him to be that perfect perfect Savior the the one who is coming out with with blood on his robe and a sword in his hand with armies behind him is
38:26
Running not at you to kill you but running past you to defeat your enemies because that is what he's done upon the cross
38:34
So that's that's why we preach the gospel because we want people to know that God who saves his people from their sin
38:41
Not just from the consequences of it or from the sin itself that you don't have to sin anymore
38:47
That one day if you can't break free of us of a sin if you repent and you turn from it You keep on turning from it
38:53
You plead the God to take it away from you that if no other Time God will take it away from you at death and you won't have to deal with it anymore
39:00
You will truly be saved from your sin and it will be gone forever Good stuff.
39:07
Yeah, and and and this Word of God this gospel of God Says it was so that that is the power of God unto salvation
39:16
Yeah, and so when when we are tempted to be fearful of man and and not speak speak the gospel or Afraid to be speak the gospel afraid to offend or or don't know what to say
39:30
We can speak with the authority of Christ or in other words speak with the authority of the Word of God Because it is the power of God unto salvation
39:39
The the power of God to be defeating his enemies And and we can we trust in it we can rely on it and and use it without fear because we have seen all throughout scripture that it's his word that he uses and He's going to continue to use and that that word is also
40:05
Jesus Christ himself The last thing that I'll throw in here is when you're talking about the demons and How they laugh and they want to see people
40:17
Go down It reminded me of when I was a young Christian and I first learned that I needed to look at words and understand
40:26
Understand them look them up see what they mean. So I could help so it would help me understand the passage more and This has to be one of the one of the first Words that I looked up And I can't even remember
40:41
Where the passage is now the reference to it? But it describes Satan in the in the same way that you were talking about it described
40:49
Satan as the pernicious one And I was like what in the world does that mean and I looked it up so I'm gonna
40:55
Understand how God was describing Satan and and what I learned then
41:01
I still remember to this day which is which is odd because I have a horrible memory, but God graciously helped me remember as a young Christian Learning wanting to learn words to help understand the
41:16
Word of God pernicious meaning that he Satan knows that he's going down and he's wanting to take others with him
41:24
And that's how I understood the word pernicious and understand understood Satan's character and what he's doing in this world and So yeah
41:36
Very relatable to what you were saying about the demons as Satan being the pernicious one and so We we want to be mindful of that That that's that's a reality that's going on in this world now that's happening in this world now and But yet we can we can be on the other side.
41:57
We don't have to be His enemy anymore. We can be on the other side. We could we don't have to be one of those who?
42:06
are going to be Put under his feet But we we can be on the other side
42:12
To where those things that are within us that we hate the sin that we hate the things that we do that are against God that we loathe
42:21
Those are the things that can be removed from our lives That can be placed under under the feet of Jesus.
42:29
We can kill those things We can mortify those things mortify the flesh mortify our sin and and be putting those things under The feet of Christ through the power of the
42:39
Holy Spirit through the power of his word and that's what he's doing He's doing that with this his physical enemies with the spiritual enemies.
42:47
He's doing that with The the sin even within ourselves and We want to be on that side of the cross on the saving and redeeming side and not on the wrath side and He's making that call
43:06
That call is still being sent out. It's not too late For you if you are watching or listening to this
43:15
So again, we would implore you with everything that we have to repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in in Jesus and All that he has done all that he has accomplished and all that he is
43:30
