We'd really appreciate it. Yeah. Just to get a few things out of the way before we get started. If you are in the Hickory, North Carolina area, Western, North Carolina please go visit the Carolina Theatre, they are so graciously Looking for a banner here.

There we go. Got the ticket going and They are so graciously playing the laborers gospel presentation before each movie played and so it will be interesting to see then how many tickets they've sold and how many people have actually seen this gospel presentation where I'm So grateful that they are giving us this opportunity and they're working with us there and they are the Carolina Theatre they are one of the businesses that say we support the truth and love network and what you guys are doing and if you are a church a Christian business owner a Ministry and you say hey, we like what you guys are doing.

All right. Thank you guys for your support. We really appreciate it. You know, my favorite part about all that is yeah. Did you have the thing with the movie theater and the businesses and all of it? Is that it is very very important for us to press the gospel into each and every area of our lives.

So be it your business. Movie theater try to catch somebody's going to watch something. They shouldn't with a gospel message beforehand. Maybe it'll grate on their nerves a little bit while they're watching the movie.

Oh, I shouldn't be doing this. Let me repent of my sin turn to Christ. It's it's it's great that we we don't just keep to ourselves or just try to preach the gospel church. Which we should but it's great that we would press it into the public sphere because it's it's far too often that we don't do that that we Think oh, we should just be quiet.

We should let the public sphere be neutral and There's no neutrality. Everything is Christ and it should be treated as such and that's why I love that sort of stuff. So all those businesses businesses, you know, if I could support you from upstate New York using you I would but Way too far away for that, but keep up the good work and keep on trucking.

Absolutely. Yeah, we I mean we've got we got folks that are in marketing. We've got folks that are in the doula services. We've got health care provider That that sponsors the network with it with their prayers and and verbal supports Pastor Jonathan and his business Kingdom contractors.

I know we do do some advertisements now at the At the front of the podcast, but I really I really like those guys that really Get into it and I don't have to wait forever and fast-forward forever to get to the point.

So let's let's just jump into Hebrews and We'll we'll see where it takes us. We last time we were together. We did Hebrews chapter 1 verses verses 1 through 3. Let me read 1 through 3 real quick. And I just wanted to make one comment That as I was going back over it The thought come to me and I want to get your thoughts on it.

So verse 1 through 3 God after he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets and in many portions and In many ways in these last days has spoken to us in his son whom he appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the world and He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his nature and Upholds all things by the word of his power when he had made purification of sins.

He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Before I make my comment and I'm looking. Thank you, Andy. Good to see you, brother. Hope you're doing well my friend. But before I make my comment I just wanted to say Dan sermon from Sunday is on Hebrew chapters 1 verses 1 through 3 and I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet I'm hoping to get to that tomorrow but I encourage you to go to the Truth and Love Network Facebook page.

It is posted there and check out Dan sermon from this past Sunday beginning of Hebrews so the.

Entitled diamonds are a girl's best friend. Oh.

Very. What's the word catchy. Catchy pulls you in there.

Fancy with diamonds asked me fancy.

But here's what I was thinking Dan as I was reading back over this this first part of these first three verses. The author of Hebrews is telling us that in these last days that God has spoken to us through his son.

But in the past long ago he spoke to us through the fathers and the prophets. And in many portions in many ways but but ultimately. We know that all scripture is inspired. It's coming from from God through the Holy Spirit.

Absolutely. Ultimately. Ultimately it's coming from God through the Holy Spirit and. And and God is. Jesus is part of the Trinity he's he's the God the Son.

Did I misspeak. Sounds like partialism, it's really hard to speak about the Trinity without in in certain circles their Liturgical circles. If you follow the liturgical calendar, there is a whole Sunday set apart for Preaching on the Trinity and from what I understand a lot of the the pastors have a guest preacher.

So they don't actually have to preach heresy that that Sunday. Because they all know that they're gonna misspeak at some point because it's so easy to do so go ahead. I'm just messing with you. Well, I mean.

That begs the question and we can come back to it later. You know if if there's the heresy of partiality and it's not right to say Jesus is part of the Trinity, how would you. How would you refer to him in his role in the Trinity?

So let's come back to that, but I wanted to make this point and get your reaction on it. So basically what I'm saying is sure all of Scripture. The Old Testament, which is what he's referring to here, which is what we have.

Comes from God he right which is what he says. He comes from God. He spoke through the prophets and then in many other ways, but it comes from God and Jesus. Jesus being God. The word it comes from him ultimately.

But here he says in these last days He has spoken to us in his son. Yeah. But isn't it from the Sun as well all the. In all the former ways that he spoke is that not from the Sun as well.

It it is. And that kind of bleeds through a little bit where it says he is the radiance of the glory of God the exact imprint of his nature the things where the Sun Upholds the world the universe by the word of his power.

It Kind of kind of bleeds through a little bit that he he was speaking there. I really think what? What the the Hebrews is trying to get at here is that We were spoken to Or our fathers were spoken to through prophets.

You know dreams all sorts of different ways. Yeah. And they were given things in type and shadow. They were given, you know the law which is good. They were given Prophets which were good. They were given the Nation of Israel their their whole being and makeup, which is good because it was given to them and ordained by God.

However, those things were all meant to point to a greater reality, which is Christ. So while we were spoken to by the agency of the prophets beforehand, we were done so in type and shadow whereas now when we we have Have the Word of God spoken to us.

It's pointing to Christ as the ultimate reality so we We have Christ who spoke in the Gospels and we have this promise of sending us the Holy Spirit which would lead us into all truth which is Something that wasn't necessarily promised to the Old Testament Saints now, I'm not saying that they didn't have the Holy Spirit.

He wasn't working among them. He absolutely was he was there a part of creation. He inspired the scriptures of the Old Testament. But we have a special Ascending of the Holy Spirit by the Son to us that would continue his his Speaking as the final word the final revelation of God to man instead of us going back to prophets.

We now have the Holy Spirit speaking more Intentionally sounds wrong, but more directly To us does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely and it's because of the type the type and shadow the the the.

You know, the type and shadow is Gone. We're now the things that were pointing to something are No longer pointing. I mean, they're still pointing to it, but you have the focal point in view Christ, yeah.

And this particular subject.

Goes to depths. Beyond what you know. We could imagine and and Dan and I are independently listening to the same podcast and this particular podcast that we're listening to it's that it's taking me into some of those depths and understanding you know that I've not been before and that's.

You know, it's causing me to grow and causing me to think and and see how glorious God is and how he worked from the beginning. Through all of Scripture and. It's been very enlightening very encouraging to listen to this podcast and listen to this teaching.

But Jesus now speaking as the Son which which we're going to get into the way I understood it is. Yes, it was it the word in the old covenant. In the Old Testament it was yes it was given by God. That that's his word.

He spoke through them. But what makes it different is the incarnate Son it has come. He has come he is present he became man, and so he is he is now speaking in in that way as the which.

If you if you go back to Deuteronomy Deuteronomy has a section of it towards the end where Moses Explicitly says there's coming a prophet one of your brothers that it's gonna come. He's the anointed one and when he shows up you listen to him or you will perish.

It was it was that message that was spoken through the Old Testament and through the prophets through the angels. To the fathers in times past. That That prophet that Messiah the anointed one Jesus has shown up.

So everything that was in the Old Covenant was pointing to something was pointing to that one coming Jesus speaking to us in the last day. Yeah. Yeah. And and looking at looking at it from Genesis on.

It's God's arrangement. Working to that point where Jesus comes that that final authority and the one whom you must listen to like he there these people are. We no longer have mediators like prophets and And poets and all the other, you know authors of the Old Testament Who were receiving dreams or visions, you know, no more mediators like that.

Jesus is the If it comes from his mouth, it's it's the Word of God because.

Like was Jeremiah said, you know no longer will everyone say to his brother Know the Lord because they'll all know him. Why. Because he's here. He's spoken. Yeah.

And that and that flowing what's also amazing is you know, we want to when we'll have this split in between the the two covenants and. But it it's a just a continuous flow that that arrangement doesn't stop and start.

It's just this continuous flow. There's no, you know, no replacement. There's no getting rid of there's no adding in an addition to or Changing. It's a continuous flow. It was all pointing to Jesus and Jesus is continuing that mission All throughout the rest of time.

Yep, just amazing thing. So you're gonna be a Presbyterian soon. I.

Am a reformed Covenanter Baptist. A One step at a time. Well, I gotta start somewhere. Dan is trying to get me to change my title above my name.

And I know you know if if the guys from the reform pub could both go then the guys from From truth and love podcast can both. Presbyterian.

Well, I don't know. I guess. What's gonna be the the major divide between us? Yeah, I know it's baptism. And I'm really not sure as far as the you know, the secondary issues.

Well once. Church Polity Church Polity, that's right Church Polity, but we have hit we've hit a rabbit trail we'll cover.

Which well just since you brought up Church Polity, that's what we're gonna be talking about Thursday night on the labors podcast Shameless plug and then the conversation on baptism is coming up three weeks.

Three more episodes counting this one coming up this week. So join us for the baptism conversation between the Baptist and the Presbyterian and hopefully our Church of God brother.

That'd be fun. It will be it will be. More interesting to see what John will say than you.

Yeah. You know, that's right, that's right well and Keith Keith Foskey he has added it to his calendar. He's super busy. He is part of the truth and love Network. He is at your Calvinist on Twitter, and he does a lot of good YouTube and Facebook videos kind of satire Baptist satire.

And so we're I'm excited to have Keith. And I didn't realize that he was he was a doctor so we I'm honored to have him on the network. As much as I am anybody else, but I'm I am honored to have Dr. Keith Foskey on the network and I listened to a debate.

It was on the Sabbath. I think that he posted that he did a while back. That was a good debate. And so I'm I'm excited to hear. Or Okay, we need to do a labors podcast on the Sabbath. Because that will be a difference between us and I.

But I think speaking of the baptism issue I am looking into it more and I I think that I'm I'm in a position where I would I Would make the Baptist also turn their head and cause them to think. And I can't wait to have that conversation with you to bounce it off you guys to see what you say.

So I'm not only going to be Differing from the Presbyterians. I may cause a few Baptist to turn their head and think so It'll be interesting so back to Hebrews back to Hebrews. What was it that I had us set aside and to come back to.

You were gonna make a point and I can't remember what it was. Yeah, I don't know. Okay. Oh. All right, so the the theme of Hebrews I Would say based on what we were talking about Dan. That continuous flow the author of Hebrews is trying to remind them that They got God has this arrangement and continuous flow throughout time.

Jesus is the The culmination the the peak of it. He is greater than than everything. There's There's no need to go back. Because it was all pointing to him and these are all the ways that Jesus is is greater and better than then all these things that you're tempted to go back to.

Because it was all pointed to him. And the first thing that he starts off with is angels. Let me read verse 4 and you can give me some thoughts Dan verse 4 having become as much better than the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

Christ Superior to the Angels

Yeah a couple things in there one angels is a transliteration of unloss, which is Just a word for messenger so it can be speaking of a Human messenger or a what we would consider angelic messenger a spiritual messenger.

I think both are in view, but it does specifically I think Lead us to believe a spiritual messenger. If you look down in verse 14 Talking about are they not all ministering spirits out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

So I think The the human messengers are in view because of what was said earlier about Speaking through the prophets but his point isn't so much that he's greater than other humans but greater than even other spirits who are sent out by God to To minister to mankind.

Second point I would say from there is what is the name that he is inherited? What is his name?

Robert. What I'm saying which on the spot. Well what I'm saying how I would answer that question and and I'm open to correction but It's what he's already stated a couple times He his his name or his title now is is the Sun which he's always been the Sun from eternity past but I'm saying that his name which is which is greater than all the others is the Sun.

Well, I don't think you're wrong but. Let me maybe throw a twist in there for you, okay. This goes back to that that whole Trinity thing. Long ago at many times in many ways God spoke to our fathers by the prophets.

I spoke now he's spoken to us by his son. So I think you're you're right there. Son is. At least an aspect of the name that's here in verse 4. But it says that he is the radiance of the glory of God the exact imprint of his nature.

He upholds the world or the universe by the word of his power. He also sits at the right hand of God in heaven.

Before you give your answer. Right. Right before you give your answer. Can I take another guess? Sure, I'll say okay. So go ahead and then right before you give your answer. I want to take another stab at it.

Sure.

Okay, so I think part of what's being brought forth here is Christ deity so the name That would be his that would be inherited as son would be.

So Since he's also referencing the the prophets and those who spoke of old Which he continues to do in the verses that we're going to look at tonight He's going back to those prophets and it was prophesied that he would be called Emmanuel God with us.

You're also not wrong. I Think the name that he's inherited because of his status as son is Yahweh. Okay, and And here here's why? When you go throughout the New Testament you watch where the New Testament quotes the name Yahweh.

From the Old Testament When it quotes it you can see that Quotation being used of the Father. You can see it being used of the Son and you can be you see it being used of the Holy Spirit. So all three in the New Testament are The when they quote from the Old Testament Yahweh it said of all three persons of the Trinity.

So when here it's saying Is it talking about the the deity of the Son I'm speaking of Christ Deity. This is why he is much more Spectacular. He has the exact imprint of his nature. He is the radiance of the glory of God.

He's calling him God. So the name that he has on the basis of his sonship, I believe is Yahweh now, I don't know if that's a specific answer that I would Nail down and hang my hat on but I think that's the point of what's being said here.

Why is his name more superior more excellent than theirs? His name is God their name is servant. So whether or not it is actually Yahweh in view, that's the idea the gist behind it that Jesus is God they are not which is seen brought out in the the verses that follow because it says Different things saying this is something that can only be said of God.

This is something that can only be said of God. Whereas when he speaks of the angels, he says this then it goes on it does the same thing again. This is what's said of God. This is what's said of God, but he doesn't say those things of The angels so the point being made is that the name is He's God, right?

Jesus is God, right? Does that make sense? Yeah, I follow you. I follow you. We'll see people agree or not, but Well, at least I have a case for it, yeah, I mean it makes sense and it's and it's true.

Something else I think we should we should tackle here, which we will be tackling I think. So it'll be good to to get off the start starting blocks here with this verse because we're gonna tackle it in these in these following verses is a parent discontinuity or apparent contradiction that you have here in this verse and in the following verses and so where you see that is so if If you're correct, and if what I'm saying was great Jesus is Emmanuel Jesus is Yahweh.

Jesus is God. That's that's what we're saying. That Hebrews is saying right. And the Emmanuel meaning God with us, right?

Right. So we I mean we were on the same page there. Yeah, if that is true Then he is then he is eternal. He is he's always existed. He's always been there. So here you have a word that is Anthropomorphic it's it's a language that that we can understand and it's applied here to Jesus where it says he has inherited.

So, how can how can God inherit something?

How do we make sense of that well inheritance is language of Family of Son of Passing of air or air airship is airship a word not not like zoom but It is now heir ship. It's that language. It's it's what?

What is there is mine? Even if I need to take possession of it. And that that's one of those things Christ is taking possession of the entirety of the universe. He's pulling it back from sin death and the devil is already purchased salvation.

No dealt the death blow now. All things are being put under his feet. So when it says that he's inheriting Or inherited a name more excellent than theirs. It's it's the nature of I'm sonship airship, which is linked to his being God.

Now One of the things about Inheriting something and being a son is Begetting or begotten know what does that mean? We're not saying that there was a time when Jesus was not and now he is Right. Um, so what does that mean?

And we have to look that's one of those instances where we if we're going to understand it at all. We have to let scripture interpret scripture. What is it saying? When it says you are my son like go into verse 5 No fruit to which of the angels did God ever say.

In other words, this isn't angle angel language. This is Godhead language. You are my son today. I've begotten you. What does it mean to be get Jesus and Wonderful fashion. I was gonna say luckily, but no providentially the Holy Spirit has Placed this in two different portions of scripture of this quotation comes from the Psalms and then it is used again in a sermon in acts 13.

Where he actually expounds upon what he means he gives a Kind of a timeline of what it means to be get. So let's run to. First let's run to Psalm 2 because this is where the quotation comes from Psalm 2 verse 7.

Psalm 2 is that Psalm where it talks about the nation's raging the people's plotting against God and God's sitting in the heavens and laughing and then after he laughs his his you know, the smile on his face turns to something Horribly terrifying and he speaks of his wrath and his fury and he says as for me I've set my king on my holy hill.

No on Zion on my holy hill. Verse 7. I will tell of the decree. This is a decree of God the Lord said to me you are my son. Today I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will make the nation's your heritage.

The ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. So there is a point in time where The Where the the the Sun is going to ask for the nation's he's going to receive them.

He's going to break them with a rod of iron and dash them like the pieces of a potter's vessel. We're also going to speak carefully here because there is a There's some false teaching that Arises surrounding this subject called the eternal subordination of the Sun and I wanted from the get-go.

We're not talking about that that is a branch of a certain type of error in understanding the Godhead. So what what does that mean. And in the book of Acts? chapter 13 it's used as a part of a a Sermon Paul and Barnabas or Antioch.

They're speaking to to a group of people and Let's go to verse. We'll say 26 He's kind of recounting Israel's history and showing how Jesus coming is a an Outworking of the history of Israel that brings salvation from the Jews to all of a believing mankind.

His brothers Sons of the family of Abraham and those among you who fear God to us has been sent the message of this salvation. For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers because they did not recognize him Nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath Fulfilled them by condemning him.

In other words. They didn't know the scripture. So they fulfilled the scriptures by Condemning Christ to death and Though they found in him. No guilt was worthy of death. They asked Pilate to have him executed and They had carried out all that was written of him.

And when they had carried out all those written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in the tomb. But God raised him from the dead. And for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.

Who are now his witnesses to the people and we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers. This he has fulfilled to us Their children by raising Jesus as also it is written in the second Psalm You are my son Today I have begotten you.

So when it talks about Begetting the son it is related to the resurrection of Jesus. Which one of the angels did God say you are my son. I am bringing you to life none but to the son. He said you are my son.

And I'm going to bring you to life you who have entered the grave you who took the sins of others upon yourself you who were Condemned and hung on the cross and died and laid in the grave. You are being Risen you were being made alive.

You were my son. Today I have begotten you right, right.

Do you think it would be appropriate to to think about it metaphorically? Because when we see the word begotten we think about birthing, you know, we think about You know our natural lives and Birthing a child of such-and-such begot such-and-such.

We're familiar with that in Scripture, but metaphorically He is birthed into this this position I.

Don't know if I would say metaphorically I think scripturally this is an idea that that is. It's not just here because Jesus is also called the firstborn of all creation, right? So what is it that's being?

Born or begotten here is Redeemed humanity. It's not that Jesus wasn't around or that Jesus didn't take on Human flesh beforehand, but what we see in his resurrection is a resurrection. Resurrected Christ a Christ who has defeated death one who was considered the firstborn of his brothers.

He goes on in the same passage in Acts and says. And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead No more to return to corruption. He has spoken in this way. I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.

Therefore he says also in another psalm. You will not let your Holy One see corruption so He goes on. For David after he served the purpose of God in his own generation fell asleep and was laid with his father's and saw corruption.

But he whom God raised up did not see corruption. Let it be known therefore brothers that though That through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you and by him everyone who believes is freed from Freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

So the the begetting the sonship the being of firstborn of all creation is speaking of His raising from the dead his fulfilling of the law and his Not is fulfilling of all of the the Old Testament promises.

Especially the ones referring to David the the type and shadow that David had of Christ is fulfilled. Especially in Christ's resurrection because he never did see corruption. Whereas David did see corruption, right?

That's right. And I don't know if I answered your question. Exactly. I got a little lost there. It was good stuff.

So I just good enough good enough. Well, there's something else interesting in Psalm 2. So if you look back at verse verse 7 8 I Will surely tell the decree of the Lord. He said be you you are my son today I begotten you ask of me and I will surely give the nations as your inheritance and the very ends.

The earth is your possession. So for the author and the readers there.

What you gonna say? No, no, go ahead. You're gonna talk about inheritance. Yeah, well.

For the author of the readers that was to come that was in the future. But for us that has happened that is how so if you if you read the verses down below where you stopped, I mean especially those of us who hold to post-millennialism or or how we should speak into and bringing up what you were talking about earlier about how we are to intervene and speak into Cultural society, I mean listen listen to how he's speaking to those in authority.

After he makes this announcement, there's there's this thing that's going to happen and for us it has happened and he says now. Therefore all Kings show discernment. Take warning old judges of the earth worship the Lord with reverence and rejoicing with trembling.

Do homage to the Son that he not become angry and You perish in the way for his wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in him. So How do we need to be speaking in the culture? How do we need to be speaking to those in authority?

Jesus is King therefore Honor him as King in your position Lest he become angry.

The Son, the Father, and the Davidic Covenant

Yeah, um it It goes on the second half of verse 5 is another quotation I will be a father to him. This is back in Hebrews. I Will be a father to him a father and he shall be to me a son. This is the from the the Covenant found in 2nd Samuel 7.

Specifically from verse 14. But it also says and again when he brings the firstborn into the world It's being the one being Christ. He says let all God's angels worship him. Hmm, and I mean we really should go to all of the references and look at all those passages and see how they fit together because One Of our main points of the last episode we did was that all of these things all of these facets these these little cuts of the diamond are Or working together to show one true whole reality in Christ.

So Psalm 2 is connected to 2nd Samuel 7 is connected to Deuteronomy 32 and Psalm 97 the idea of Sonship inheritance the resurrection from the dead the preaching of Salvation that came through the Jewish nation and spread to all the families of the earth.

It's all one one big Story that was Unfurled for us throughout the Old Testament and pointed very specifically at Christ In the in the end of it, right, right. You got it. No turning. What do what? Well, I will turn I can tell what you got.

Yeah, I didn't I didn't know if you wanted to continue to look at more of those references or not, but. Something specific about this passage that has caused me to stop and think and I was trying to find that verse but we'll get to it a little bit later as we walk through Hebrews, but.

Okay, so. The the last part of verse 6 and let let all the angels of God worship him. But you think about go over to chapter 2 verse 7 you have made him for a little while lower than the angels. So so for this little while Jesus was made lower than the angels I guess by becoming becoming a man putting on flesh.

He become a little lower than the angels. Right, but yet even while he was here a little lower than them. They didn't let that stop their worship. They didn't they didn't see him in that light. They continued to.

You go to his his temptation and he was successful in the wilderness and they come to him and minister to him. They they did not cease to serve him. They didn't cease to worship him as God as he truly is.

Right.

This this that that you're bringing out in the catechism says Causes Christ's humiliation. Christ's humiliation consisted in him being born and born in a low condition made under the law undergoing the miseries of this life the pain and death of the cross and being Buried and remaining under the power of death for a time.

That was all his humiliation, but you're right because If you remember from from Philippians, it says that was a Philippians 2 said that while being God Thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Um, there's other phrasing and I've probably butchered that but but the idea is the same that Christ when he came to the earth came in a humiliated position and while he Was still divine still deity still God Came in the humiliated form in order to accomplish or Inherit That firstborn status that begetting status which was his Resurrection from the dead.

So he underwent that humiliation for a time so that his exaltation Would be that much more grand, right? Right and as I would be procured for for his people right.

Well it as. As far as a little bit of application goes We want to we want to be lockstep with the angels here and and I think it's probably one of the reasons why scripture tells us to Set our mind on things above.
