1
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:09,800
Second Samuel, chapter 6. 
Students brains, that's where 

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,700
we're at tonight. 
And this will not be our last 

3
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,500
week. 
In this chapter, we will We'll 

4
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:25,000
cover it all by the. 
Hang tight and enjoy the 

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,500
journey. 
Second, Samuel chapter 6, are 

6
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,600
you there? 
if you there, meet me in verse 

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,400
9, We're going to read this in a
moment but want us to pray one 

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,600
more time, my brother just pray 
but doesn't hurt to Pray Again. 

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,600
Just come with your heart before
the Lord as the word is open. 

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Before you And realize that we 
are here in his presence before 

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,400
the Eternal decree of God. 
And Lord, we thank you that you 

12
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,700
have given us your word. 
Thank you. 

13
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:59,700
That you did the miracle of the 
new birth in each of us. 

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,400
And the evidence at least one 
Mark, is that we hunger for the 

15
00:01:03,408 --> 00:01:07,700
word as a newborn baby does for 
milk Lord? 

16
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:10,400
We thank you that that appetite 
is there, but we do not want 

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,500
milk. 
We want meat, we want to grow 

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,400
and be nourished. 
In the things of God. 

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,000
The Deep things of God. 
And though we know that it is 

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,500
not enough to have your word 
before us and to be able to 

21
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,100
cleverly put things together, we
need the Holy Spirit, to open 

22
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,500
our minds and to burn within our
hearts. 

23
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,900
And so Lord, we just pray that 
you would have your way through 

24
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:37,700
this text into our lives. 
That every man disappear but let

25
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,900
Christ be seen Christ be heard 
and Christ be cherished. 

26
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:43,400
As a result of our time 
together. 

27
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:45,600
We ask these things in Jesus 
name. 

28
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:51,300
Amen. 
If you were not here two weeks 

29
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:56,900
ago, we began our analysis of 
David's expedition to retrieve 

30
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,300
the Ark of the Covenant that was
abandoned for 70-something years

31
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:07,500
in the outskirts of Jerusalem 
and further out miles out from 

32
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:12,100
that main city. 
And David here has this praise 

33
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:17,000
worthy ambition to get this Arc 
and to find a permanent. 

34
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:22,300
Imminent and honorable home for 
this, symbol of God's divine 

35
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,400
presence on Earth with his 
people. 

36
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,000
And that Journey that mission is
covered in this one chapter but 

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,200
you and I are going to discover 
that it was accomplished into 

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,400
Ventures, not because it 
required two assignments to get 

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,300
the job done. 
But because David royally no pun

40
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:48,700
intended failed in his initial 
attempt to get the arc and so it

41
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:54,300
would require for him to plan 
and execute a second effort and 

42
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:59,400
it will be proven Successful to 
have God's presence where he 

43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,400
believed that belonged. 
Now, why did David fail? 

44
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:10,000
Very simply because he assumed 
that he can apply his own ideas 

45
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,200
and how to deal with the Holy 
things of God. 

46
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:18,000
And because of his willful 
neglect of the revealed will of 

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,900
God. 
And on top of that, his adoption

48
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:25,600
of worldly methods in order to 
accomplish a holy thing, a good 

49
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,700
thing. 
Divine discipline was in sued 

50
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:34,200
instead of divine blessing, And 
so David's little parade with 

51
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,100
the thousands of people who are 
celebrating that moment. 

52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,100
Quickly turn into a funeral. 
They're lying men. 

53
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:45,800
Dead swiftly, judged by God. 
And there's David with the other

54
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,300
staring at the scene with these 
mixed emotions. 

55
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:54,200
Now, rushing into his bosom, not
knowing our first, what to do. 

56
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,500
But now on this day on this 
night, we go back to that day to

57
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,500
see what David will do. 
What is his response? 

58
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,700
When and how will he move 
forward to carry out what he 

59
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,400
believed God impressed on his 
heart to do for his glory. 

60
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:09,700
And so this is what we're going 
to do. 

61
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,800
We're going to read a few verses
going to open it up and ask 

62
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,399
again remember our tool belts 
are on to see what it is that we

63
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,100
think the Lord is trying to say 
from an initial standpoint of 

64
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,100
the text verse 9. 
Remember we're on that day. 

65
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,800
There's uzza dead on the 
threshing floor of Macon, there 

66
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,700
are the thousands who stopped 
their instruments, playing and 

67
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,500
verse 9. 
We see and David was afraid of 

68
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,000
the Lord that day and he said 
how can the Ark of the Lord come

69
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,300
to me. 
So David was not willing to take

70
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,300
the Ark of the Lord into the 
city of David, but David took it

71
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,600
aside to the house of obededom 
the gittite And the Ark of the 

72
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,300
Lord remained In The House of 
obededom, the gittite three 

73
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,800
months and the Lord bless 
obededom and all his household. 

74
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,900
And it was told King David, the 
Lord has blessed the household 

75
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:12,000
of obededom and all that belongs
to him because of the Ark of 

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,400
God. 
So David went and brought up the

77
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,100
Ark of God from the house of 
obededom to the city of David 

78
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,600
with rejoicing. 
And when those Who Bore the Ark 

79
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,800
of the Lord had gone, six steps,
he sacrificed an ox, and a 

80
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,400
fatten animal and David danced 
before the Lord, with all his 

81
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,000
might, and David was wearing a 
linen ephod. 

82
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,900
So David and all the house of 
Israel, brought up the Ark of 

83
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:44,300
the Lord with shouting and with 
the sound of the horn. 

84
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,200
What stands out? 
What stands out? 

85
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:59,800
Yes. 
House of obededom. 

86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,500
Yeah. 
Okay. 

87
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,700
Good question. 
Who are the good times? 

88
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:10,100
So that's an observation and an 
important one. 

89
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:12,600
Anything else. 
There's a lot here. 

90
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:14,400
A lot. 
What else? 

91
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:23,200
Stands out. 
Amen. 

92
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,500
The blessing that obit at a Edom
experience. 

93
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,000
For three months was in direct 
correlation to the presence of 

94
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,600
God abiding in that home huge. 
Yes. 

95
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:41,500
Yeah, so wasn't until the 
blessing was known. 

96
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,300
That David was stirred to say. 
I want that for myself. 

97
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:46,900
I want this for the nation. 
Absolutely. 

98
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:56,100
Yes. 
A lot of emotion there. 

99
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Yeah, there's a lot of people 
scared of emotion in the church 

100
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,800
for some reason. 
We'll cover David dancing next 

101
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,900
week. 
So if you were looking forward 

102
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,900
to understanding, what, David 
dancing meant you have to come 

103
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:07,600
next week. 
There's just too much in here 

104
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,000
before we get to that point. 
But good observation, anything 

105
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
else, great observations? 
Yes. 

106
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,500
Yes. 
The cart. 

107
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:26,400
Yes. 
Very good. 

108
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:31,500
They did not implement the new 
cards approach this time, we're 

109
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,300
going to find out exactly how 
they did it. 

110
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Very important. 
Yes great. 

111
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Anything else? 
Yes. 

112
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:56,900
Yes. 
Well it's interesting that open 

113
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:59,600
edom's name is repeated. 
Many times in this tax, isn't it

114
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600
good? 
Observation stick around 

115
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,800
anything else? 
Yes. 

116
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:11,500
Isn't that interesting? 
Yeah. 

117
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:15,100
After six steps, they made a 
sacrifice an animal sacrifice. 

118
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,700
Is that required? 
Or is it over the top? 

119
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,000
Hmm, see what I did there. 
Anything else? 

120
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,800
Good observations. 
Yes. 

121
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,799
What is David doing? 
Wearing the attire that belonged

122
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:44,400
to the priests? 
Very, very, very important 

123
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,700
observation. 
Yes, cookies. 

124
00:08:50,300 --> 00:09:06,100
Yes. 
Yes, good. 

125
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,200
So you went the 1st Chronicles 
15, which is a huge part of this

126
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Bible study. 
David went to the word of God. 

127
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,000
During those three months, there
is no doubt about it. 

128
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,600
He Revisited the scriptures to 
know how to go about this whole 

129
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,900
endeavor. 
Beautiful. 

130
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:39,500
Observation may be a couple of 
more so we can move on anything 

131
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:51,300
else. 
Yes, you wanted to bless 

132
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,900
Jerusalem and he will. 
Yes, he will do that. 

133
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:59,100
Anything else. 
One more. 

134
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:07,100
Go ahead. 
Good balance, right? 

135
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,100
He does. 
Well, you know, and I think from

136
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:31,400
last week or two weeks ago, we 
heard how how our flesh kind of 

137
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,500
gets all worked up around the 
story with who's a dime, because

138
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,100
we go that, how is that fair? 
How can, how can I choose to be 

139
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:40,200
doing a good thing? 
And God disciplining for that, 

140
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,900
he was just trying to help and 
we came to the conclusion that 

141
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,000
we not. 
How did God not strike all of 

142
00:10:46,008 --> 00:10:47,600
them dead. 
Not just who's out. 

143
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,700
There is a particular 
instruction. 

144
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,200
In Numbers, Chapter 4, you don't
have to turn there that He said 

145
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,700
God's mercy was even being shown
while killing Musa. 

146
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,000
What was supposed to be done 
with the Holy things when it was

147
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,600
Winter supposed to be 
transported from one location to

148
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,700
the next, a lot of things were 
supposed to be done and one 

149
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,700
thing that we have every reason 
to say didn't happen in this 

150
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:14,600
text and that was to cover. 
Remember they were to literally 

151
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,300
cover the different articles in 
the Tabernacle so that the human

152
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:22,200
eye would not be hold those holy
things. 

153
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,300
There's no indication that they 
cover the ark. 

154
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:30,100
There is no indication that they
handled it the way that the 

155
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:34,300
scriptures prescribed, and it 
took 20 to touch it before God 

156
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,500
intervened and judged. 
And so God's mercy was already 

157
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:41,400
at work with the various Miss 
handlings, leading up to Z 

158
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,700
touching the ark. 
And so, we have to understand 

159
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,900
that God here is not, he does 
have a bad day and a good day. 

160
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,700
God is good. 
All the time, all the time 

161
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,400
consecutively, he is Always 
faithful. 

162
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:59,400
He is Holy and he is loved and 
we will see how David responds 

163
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,100
to the Holiness of God in verse 
9. 

164
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,700
David was afraid of the Lord 
that day. 

165
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:12,900
Question, healthy fear or 
unhealthy fear Godly fear that 

166
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:18,700
the Bible commands or ungodly 
fear that the Bible condemns. 

167
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:21,100
What do you think, who says 
healthy fear? 

168
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,700
Who says unhealthy fear? 
Interesting. 

169
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,100
That is the most hands. 
I've seen whenever asked that 

170
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,900
question on a Friday night and 
I've done it for seven years. 

171
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,700
Thank you for participating in 
that. 

172
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,400
Yes. 
Isn't that amazing? 

173
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600
He feared, God that day. 
And I believe we can come to a 

174
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600
clear conclusion by asking two 
questions. 

175
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:45,900
So we're going to see where 
we're going to land here based 

176
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,400
on these two questions. 
Number one, why was he afraid? 

177
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,000
It's very straightforward as a 
not. 

178
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:56,000
He was struck with fear because 
Moosa was struck dead and David 

179
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,300
had every right to think this 
can happen to me any second now,

180
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,600
and he was so he was under that 
dread realizing that God's 

181
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,600
discipline is active, it is 
Swift and sometimes can be 

182
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,300
immediate. 
And so now adrenaline is pumping

183
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,200
in his veins and he realizes 
this is not a God that you can 

184
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,700
play with. 
But that doesn't really give us 

185
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:24,100
a confident answer because all 
of us should have an awareness 

186
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,900
of God's discipline. 
Even as his children, all of us 

187
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:29,800
should approach him with 
caution. 

188
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:32,900
All of us should understand that
his word is not to be tampered 

189
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:35,900
with to our liking. 
We should all live with that. 

190
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:40,000
I believe it's the second 
question which is what did this 

191
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,200
fear encourage David to do? 
The helps us know whether it was

192
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,100
a healthy fear or unhealthy fear
what did this? 

193
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:54,000
This fear cause David to do. 
He pushes the presence of God 

194
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
away. 
He disses himself from the Lord 

195
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:03,400
and that is enough for us to say
he is operating under a slavish 

196
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:09,200
fear. 
Because there are those who have

197
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:15,700
this concept of God that he is 
just he is Holy but they fail to

198
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,000
see him in his totality. 
And so the only thing that they 

199
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
register and their understanding
of God is he will judge me, I've

200
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,800
rebelled against him. 
I I fail to remain in a place of

201
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,600
consistent Holiness and I'm 
going to pay for it one day and 

202
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,000
the reaction to that caused them
to do at least one or two 

203
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,500
things. 
One to reject the concept of All

204
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,100
together and to try to silence 
their conscience until they feel

205
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:41,300
like they have Liberty to do 
what they want without this 

206
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:44,400
disturbance, that one day that 
there's going to be 

207
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,900
accountability here. 
And the second thing is to not 

208
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:51,600
dismiss the reality of God, but 
to create an idol. 

209
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,200
And his name is Jesus, and he's 
loving and he's good and he will

210
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,700
never harm anyone. 
You would never judge anyone and

211
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,700
he Winks at my sin and he'll 
embrace me at the end of it all.

212
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:05,900
In fact, he'll Embrace everybody
at the end of it all. 

213
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:12,800
So you see there is this type of
fear that causes us to Shun God 

214
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,700
or to change God, and both are 
wrong. 

215
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,700
Both are evils. 
And David hears is kind of doing

216
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:24,000
that. 
He's saying I'm standing away 

217
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,700
from the I don't want to deal 
with this. 

218
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,200
And it's really a reaction that 
you see throughout the 

219
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,200
scriptures when people are in 
the wrong type of fear of God. 

220
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,200
So let me give an example, Mount
Sinai. 

221
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,800
God shows up and displays his 
Splendor and His Majesty in a 

222
00:15:38,808 --> 00:15:42,300
way that literally caused the 
people to shake in their sandals

223
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:47,700
and an Exodus 20, 20, Moses 
instructs, the people to run 

224
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:50,000
from that kind of fear to escape
that kind of Here. 

225
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,000
And he says it's so clearly and 
I want you to hear these words, 

226
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,400
he says to the people do not 
fear in Exodus, 20 20. 

227
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,100
That's an easy versus food 
remember for God, has come to 

228
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:05,900
test you that the fear of him, 
maybe before you that you may 

229
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,700
not send. 
I always I always use that 

230
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:10,000
scripture to teach on the fear 
of God. 

231
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,700
That's one of my go-to 
references. 

232
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:14,100
Do not fear. 
God has come to test you to fear

233
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000
will hold on. 
You just told me not to do it. 

234
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:18,200
Now, you're telling me to do it 
two types of fear. 

235
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,700
Two types of fear. 
And the fear here that the 

236
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:25,300
people are operating under the 
same, kind of feel that David 

237
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,400
was under. 
Because look at verse 21, the 

238
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:34,300
people stood far off, We don't 
want to come close to this God. 

239
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200
We don't want to deal with them.
We don't want any kind of 

240
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,000
relationship with him. 
And then what you see, Moses 

241
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,500
exemplifying the exact opposite 
attitude, the people stood far 

242
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:49,800
off while Moses Drew near. 
The people people stefanov, 

243
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,000
while Moses went into the thick 
Darkness into the very same 

244
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,100
thing that the people were 
terrified about Moses was 

245
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:03,000
compelled to commune with. 
So, there is a revelation of the

246
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,599
beauty of the Lord. 
The Holiness of who he is, that 

247
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:13,500
causes you to actually come to 
him and not run from him and 

248
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:18,500
that coming to him that magnetic
pulled also cause you to shun 

249
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:22,599
the evil that would offend him. 
Joyfully gladly that is the 

250
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:26,099
exact same thing that we see 
with Moses posture here. 

251
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:30,600
He has his healthy reverence, he
knows who God is, but it doesn't

252
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,400
discourage him. 
It doesn't cause him to be in 

253
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,800
dismay, it causes him to run to 
Origin. 

254
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,100
So, one element of the fear of 
the Lord is. 

255
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,700
Yes, there is. 
There is a sense of Aw, but 

256
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:46,300
there's also this fear of 
hurting the one that I love. 

257
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,300
That is an ingredient within 
the, the Theology of the fear of

258
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,900
God. 
When you love someone, you fear 

259
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:58,000
to hurt that person, you've 
probably given a gift to 

260
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,700
somebody, and it was a surprise 
gift. 

261
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,300
And when they received it, they 
just reacted in a way that was 

262
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:06,000
beyond your expectation and you 
exhale, you say I was afraid 

263
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,500
that you wouldn't love it. 
I think that is a part of the 

264
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,700
fear of the Lord, as much as I 
believe that it is also an ask 

265
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,300
me that cause you to tremble, 
literally tremble before him. 

266
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,500
And so David here, 
unfortunately, pushes God away. 

267
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And says I don't I don't want 
anything to do this. 

268
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,900
God and I take something else 
from this text that there are 

269
00:18:26,908 --> 00:18:29,900
those who are deceived them 
believing that if I draw closer 

270
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:34,300
to God or if I open my life to 
the presence of God the lordship

271
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,000
of Jesus Christ, then it's going
to be a burden more than it is a

272
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,500
blessing. 
And so I'm not interested. 

273
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,300
And it's a perception that he is
a stingy. 

274
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:50,400
God, who just wants to suck the 
life out of you. 

275
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,100
He wants to, he wants to hinder 
your happiness. 

276
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,800
He wants to, he wants to bring 
limitation to your movement in 

277
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,500
life, you know, it's good for 
you. 

278
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:02,400
It's like, it's like his 
commands are like broccoli. 

279
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,300
You know, it's good for you, but
you don't really like the taste 

280
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:07,300
of it. 
And sin is like the chocolate 

281
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:10,300
sundae that you just, you're 
always wanting but you know that

282
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:12,100
it's going to hurt you in the 
end. 

283
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,600
This is that's not only wrong, 
that's detrimental to believe 

284
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,200
that. 
And I've heard people say I'm 

285
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,400
afraid that God's going to lead 
me in a direction that I don't 

286
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,800
want to go. 
He's going to make me marry 

287
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,100
somebody that. 
I don't want to marry is going 

288
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:28,600
to make me move somewhere. 
I don't want to move and so it 

289
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,700
doesn't really seem like there's
a payoff to the lordship of 

290
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:33,600
Christ. 
I think I will remain autonomous

291
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,300
of my existence. 
And so if that's you and it's 

292
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:41,200
very likely that some even one 
person more than one person 

293
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,000
might be tempted to think that 
from time to time realize that 

294
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,700
David is going to learn a lesson
is going to show them the exact 

295
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:51,200
opposite that when you give your
heart to him, God gives so much 

296
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,300
more than you can imagine so 
much more than you can 

297
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,700
comprehend. 
So David says, I don't want it. 

298
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:00,200
This is, this is more than I 
thought. 

299
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,700
I can't handle it and he takes a
break for three months. 

300
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,000
That very thing that stirred him
to the point where he recruited 

301
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,800
the nation to join him on this 
project. 

302
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,200
Now, he just puts it aside, he 
goes back to his throne. 

303
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,500
He goes back to his headquarters
and just three months of doing 

304
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,900
day-to-day, who knows what until
the news reaches his Palace? 

305
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:28,300
God is blessing obededom. 
But David took it aside to the 

306
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:31,300
house of obededom to get tight 
and he's going to find out very 

307
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:32,600
soon that God's going to bless 
him. 

308
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,500
But before we get to that point,
our brother mentioned it more 

309
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:38,700
than once. 
In two verses we hear about this

310
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:41,300
guy named obededom obededom 
obededom. 

311
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,300
And David says obededom it's 
yours and we heard he's a good 

312
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,700
tight. 
Why is that important? 

313
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,000
There are many references to the
good side. 

314
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,700
One of the strongest references 
to the get tight is, is a guy 

315
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:05,700
that his name rhymes with if--. 
Goliath the gittite later on. 

316
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:10,700
In this book, he's going to be 
referred to as the get tight. 

317
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:14,200
Which would mean perhaps that 
some would believe this, that 

318
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,500
obededom is a Philistine. 
He's a gentile. 

319
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:23,800
He's a foreigner within the 
nation's boundaries. 

320
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,900
He could be someone who 
converted, we don't know. 

321
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:30,700
But people think just because he
is referred to as a good tight 

322
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:35,000
then he is surely an outsider. 
And if that is the case and what

323
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,700
David's doing here might be a 
little bit cruel. 

324
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:41,000
Because the last thing you see 
is God's Arc doing is judging 

325
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,900
somebody and he goes I don't 
want it to be to me. 

326
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,900
So like a hot potato. 
He passes it to the house of a 

327
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,000
Philistine egos God. 
If you're gonna do anything to 

328
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
do it in that guy's house. 
And we don't want to put that on

329
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200
day because that's that's not 
clear. 

330
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,800
It's just a thought but I don't 
believe he's a Philistine. 

331
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,100
Does anybody remember the 
chapter and First Chronicles? 

332
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:02,700
That paralleled the first 
attempt to David getting the 

333
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,000
ark? 
First Chronicles wife, 13. 

334
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:10,800
When you go to 1st Chronicles 
15, you get the expanded details

335
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:14,800
of this event. 
That is Rich with insight about 

336
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,200
what David thought what he said 
and how he went about all of 

337
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,100
this. 
And it's in that chapter in 

338
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:24,500
first Chronicles 15, that the 
name obededom shows up again and

339
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:28,500
there is a link between obededom
and a certain occupation that I 

340
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:32,500
believe it eliminates the 
possibility of him being a 

341
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:34,400
Philistine. 
Would you like to see it? 

342
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,000
So now, For the rest of this 
Bible study have one hand in 

343
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
first Chronicles, 15, and the 
other hand. 

344
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,900
In second, Samuel, chapter 6, go
to 1st Chronicles 15. 

345
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,200
I want your eyes to see the text
for yourself. 

346
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,800
And go to verse 24 quickly. 
And you're going to see 

347
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:57,900
something that's important. 
We get a list of names of the 

348
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,900
some of the Levites who went out
to fetch for the arc from 

349
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:05,500
obededom is home. 
And First Chronicles 1524, let 

350
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:12,200
me just read this sheb Anaya, 
Jehoshaphat Nathanael homicide, 

351
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:18,700
Zachariah Benaiah and Eleazar 
the priest, should blow the 

352
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:24,700
trumpets before the Ark of God, 
obededom and G, hiya, were to be

353
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:29,100
Gatekeepers for the arc. 
You read on. 

354
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,000
So David and the Elders of 
Israel and the commanders of the

355
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800
thousands went to bring up the 
Ark of the Covenant of the Lord,

356
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,200
from the house of who obededom 
with rejoicing. 

357
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,100
So seems like the context is 
suggesting that the same 

358
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:46,600
obededom in verse 25 is the 
obedient and verse 24. 

359
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,300
What was obededom going to do at
one point? 

360
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,900
Be a, what a gatekeeper who 
among the Israelites was allowed

361
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:01,000
to have any type of ministry, 
roll around the house of God, 

362
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:09,800
The Levites. conclusion obededom
was a levite, it was a levite 

363
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,600
and there is arguments about 
what it means for him to be a 

364
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,200
good tight, it can refer to one 
of the Cities there and Joshua 

365
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,200
If that's the case in David, 
learn his lesson real quick. 

366
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,900
He takes the ark and he sends it
to obededom. 

367
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:29,300
Someone who is much more 
qualified actually exclusively 

368
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:34,400
qualified to be supervising, the
Ark of God, and that's great. 

369
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:36,600
But I still wonder when I 
learned that. 

370
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,700
I still wonder about why 
obededom there was a bunch of 

371
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:42,900
Levites and could it be though? 
It's not clear. 

372
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:47,900
Could it be that obededom 
really, really wanted the Ark of

373
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:54,300
God in his home? 
Upon the assumption that he 

374
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:59,400
became a gatekeeper. 
Meaning he was willing to occupy

375
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,100
a certain role that protected 
the Ark of the Covenant when it 

376
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,800
would find a permanent home 
meaning what when the Ark of God

377
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,200
came to his home and it left his
home after 3 months. 

378
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,100
I don't want the presence of God
to be away from me. 

379
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,600
I'm willing to go where it goes.
And so he goes online and 

380
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,800
there's a position that David 
posted. 

381
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,100
We're looking for a gatekeeper 
for the ark obededom is all 

382
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:32,300
signed up. 
I want to be a gatekeeper. 

383
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:35,200
I want to be as near as I can to
the very presence of God and 

384
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,500
it's no wonder you heard it when
it came to his front step and it

385
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,600
entered into his Abode. 
God opened the heavens and 

386
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,800
showered blessing upon blessing,
not just on him, but on all that

387
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,500
he had and he tasted the 
goodness of God and he couldn't 

388
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,600
live on without it. 
That's what I believe what 

389
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,100
happened to obededom, a levite 
who hunger for God's presence. 

390
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:01,700
And I believe David as a man 
after God's heart perceive that 

391
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,900
and allowed the Arctic go to his
home. 

392
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,800
And once it left his home, 
obedience is, I must have it. 

393
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:14,300
I understand that God has his 
own home, but I want to make my 

394
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:17,700
home where he is and so he goes 
and for the rest of his life, 

395
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:19,600
presumably he stood at that 
gate. 

396
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Just enjoying the fact that he 
was as near as he could be the 

397
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,700
presence of God. 
Interestingly. 

398
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:34,000
When the ark was in the house of
abinadab for 20 years, remember 

399
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,200
that did we get any such 
description about blessings on 

400
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,800
his home? 
No. 

401
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,300
And it makes you wonder why when
you see the attitude of uzza 

402
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,200
years later you kind of can put 
the two and two together. 

403
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:53,200
But with this man there is 
blessing for three months and I 

404
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,100
think it's beyond the fact that 
he was an Israelite. 

405
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,000
I think it was more than he was 
a levite. 

406
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I believe is the way that he 
honored God's presence and 

407
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
because he honored God's 
presence, God blessed him. 

408
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,000
It is day to day. 
Should it be any different when 

409
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,900
you open your heart to the Lord?
Jesus Christ. 

410
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:20,600
No, the ark is a shadow of 
Christ who tabernacled Among Us,

411
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,800
the glory of God. 
And when you open your life to 

412
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,300
him, the home of your heart, 
scripture says that he abides in

413
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,800
that heart, meaning he lives 
there. 

414
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:38,800
Well, that implies many things 
and one of those things is, what

415
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,600
you see in obededom is life. 
There should be tangible 

416
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,000
evidence that he lives there, 
huh? 

417
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:51,000
I want you to think about it. 
We don't have a detailed list of

418
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,300
the things that we're blessed 
wants to our came in. 

419
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:58,100
But one thing is for certain, 
the people who knew obededom, 

420
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:02,400
perceived, this man is blessed. 
And they could not separate his 

421
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,300
blessing from the priest. 
And some God to the point that 

422
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:08,100
they were talking about it with 
one another until it reached, 

423
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:12,200
the capital of Israel. 
Here's what I'm proposing to you

424
00:28:12,208 --> 00:28:16,500
today. 
When Christ lives in us, there 

425
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:21,100
should be things flowing out of 
us that others who study us, 

426
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:25,200
long enough can say, there's 
something different, there's 

427
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,000
something different. 
And there are so many examples 

428
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,400
of this in the New Testament and
one that came to mind is a fit, 

429
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,400
very famous passage that people 
often refer to, in order to 

430
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,800
encourage the, people of God, to
know how to do apologetics and 

431
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,300
to know enough about the faith 
so that you can And yourself. 

432
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:45,200
When somebody says, why do you 
have this hope what reference is

433
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,500
that? 
First. 

434
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:52,900
Yes. 
Three. 15, so turn there, and I 

435
00:28:52,908 --> 00:28:55,500
want you to see that for 
yourself first, Peter 3:15 

436
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:59,200
notice what Peter says about. 
Believers, there's something in 

437
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,400
them. 
There's something in them. 

438
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:10,400
There's something in US. 
And first Peter 3:15. 

439
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:20,300
People of memorize this verse, 
it's a well-known scripture, but

440
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:25,800
in your hearts honor Christ, the
lord, as holy always being 

441
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,700
prepared to make a defense to 
anyone who asks you for a reason

442
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:33,900
for the hope that is in you yet 
do it with gentleness and 

443
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:36,100
respect. 
So I've seen many people come to

444
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:39,100
this, Texas a church. 
We need to know how to defend 

445
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,500
our faith. 
We need to know how to answer 

446
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,800
people's objections and 
skepticism. 

447
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,700
So here's some resources, and 
here's some Isabel 

448
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,900
understandings of the belief of 
this faith and not faith. 

449
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:51,200
And this is how you can answer 
it. 

450
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,800
That's good, that's important. 
It's so much deeper than that. 

451
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,100
My whole life. 
When I've heard people refer to 

452
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:02,100
this text, they refer to the 
second part and I rarely hear 

453
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:06,000
them use the first part because 
here's here's my question. 

454
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,800
Coming to this verse, I love 
asking the Bible questions. 

455
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:15,900
And one of the things I asked is
well, why would anyone even ask 

456
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:19,900
me about the hope that is in me 
unless there's something about 

457
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:23,600
me that causes them to ask? 
Is that a valid question? 

458
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:29,300
Why would anybody say hey can 
you explain this hope that you 

459
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,400
have in this thing that you call
the gospel? 

460
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:35,900
Why would anybody even ask that 
to begin with unless there is 

461
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:39,900
something observable for them to
be curious? 

462
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,700
So, I put that question aside 
and here's my other question and

463
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,200
I think it's a more important 
question. 

464
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,800
How? 
How and what needs to be done in

465
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,200
order for that possibility to be
more real? 

466
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,100
What is it that needs to be done
in me for people to say, hey, 

467
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,200
why do you have this hope? 
And the answer is in the same 

468
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,400
verse Did you see it? 
What was the first instruction 

469
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,100
before knowing how to defend 
your faith? 

470
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:18,000
Verse 15. 
Honor Christ. 

471
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,800
As hope. 
Be honest, maybe you have heard,

472
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400
I have it. 
I have never ever heard anybody 

473
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,700
refer to that instruction. 
Before completing this verse, 

474
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:32,700
what does it mean to honor 
Christ? 

475
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:35,600
Is holding some translations, 
I'm curious. 

476
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,800
What does it say in the King 
James sky? 

477
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:48,000
I like that sanctify, the Lord, 
as holy Okay. 

478
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,200
Sanctify him. 
Which that word Sanctified means

479
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,800
to set apart which implies to 
make holy Sanctify. 

480
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,000
The Lord or in your hearts. 
Honor Christ as holy. 

481
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,300
What does that mean? 
Because it influences the second

482
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,600
part by the way and if we're 
Christians were serious about 

483
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000
our witness then we won't be 
just serious about gathering 

484
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,900
information and knowing how to 
answer difficult questions will 

485
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:15,000
be serious about the first part 
just as much. 

486
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:21,400
Honor Christ, as holy. 
Here's what it means in your 

487
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:27,200
heart. 
In your heart Elevate Christ, to

488
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,500
be the primary object of your 
affection of your Adoration of 

489
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:34,600
your devotion of your 
submission. 

490
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:39,400
That's what it means. 
Let him have preeminence over 

491
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,700
your life. 
Let him be the head. 

492
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:46,300
Let him be the control center. 
Let him be everything to you. 

493
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:50,800
That's what it means. 
Let him have a category of love 

494
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,700
in your heart that nothing else 
will be. 

495
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,000
Challenging. 
That's what it means to honor 

496
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,100
crisis, holy sanctify him 
Elevate them exalt him, place 

497
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:05,700
them there as a supreme treasure
and the light of who you are. 

498
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:09,900
And here's here's what will 
happen when you do that. 

499
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,100
It will do something in you and 
through you to such a degree 

500
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,500
that others will say possibly 
there's something different 

501
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,400
about you. 
Can I know more? 

502
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:29,100
And I wonder if this part has 
been neglected and the emphasis 

503
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,400
on just stuffing our minds with 
the ability to know how to 

504
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,800
answer Muslims and Buddhists and
Mormons. 

505
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:39,500
I wonder if our witness has been
hindered because we haven't done

506
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,000
the first part. 
Honor Christ is Holy. 

507
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Honor Christ is Holy. 
Something is unlocked. 

508
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,500
Their something happens, they're
just like oh but edom's home 

509
00:33:52,100 --> 00:33:55,800
because he treated it with this 
reverence and when he treated 

510
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:01,000
with such Holiness, all the 
blessings started to flow, 

511
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,200
something started to Sparkle, 
something started to shine to 

512
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,699
the point where it was radiating
out of the windows. 

513
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,800
And people were saying, oh, to 
be you, something's happening 

514
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,100
here knocking on his door. 
What's going on here? 

515
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:15,699
Oh, it's the are Ever since it 
came just changed everything. 

516
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,500
Do you see the connection? 
Do you see the connection honor 

517
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,300
crisis? 
Holy and it can have such a 

518
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:26,600
radiating effect that people who
walk by or people who are around

519
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,600
you long enough can say, Why is 
it that you are this way? 

520
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:36,199
And in fact, when you understand
the hope, That Peter is calling 

521
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:41,900
the Believers to have. 
And to explain it has a context.

522
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,900
In the context is in verse 14. 
So you're still there, right? 

523
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,300
Look at verse 14. 
And notice what Peter says. 

524
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:53,500
But even if you should suffer 
for righteousness sake, you will

525
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,800
be blessed. 
Have no fear of them nor be 

526
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,300
troubled. 
And then he goes on to say, 

527
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:01,000
honor Christ, but honor Christ 
in your heart. 

528
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,100
As holy, Peter is speaking to 
persecuted Christians who are 

529
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:10,400
suffering at the hands of 
authorities who are Godless and 

530
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,500
making their lives difficult. 
And it is with that context. 

531
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:20,700
She says Christ is in you. and 
because Christ is in you, even 

532
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:25,200
though you were suffering for 
righteousness sake, you have the

533
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,500
ability to cause others who see 
that you are suffering to say, 

534
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,400
how is it that you're able to 
have so much hope? 

535
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,300
Even though these things are 
happening to you, even though 

536
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,800
they fired you, even though the 
taking away your possessions, 

537
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,200
even though there's slandering 
your name, how is it that you 

538
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,000
have hope? 
So I argue just like obededom 

539
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,800
things have Their Blessings. 
This piece, this Joy, the 

540
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,400
stability, and what a word for 
us in this day. 

541
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,400
People are fearful, people are 
questioning, people are in 

542
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,700
panic. 
He had to church. 

543
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:03,000
The church should be strong. 
And Shining with this hole, 

544
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,500
Brothers. 
Who say what is it? 

545
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,400
How is it that you guys are not 
affected by what's happening? 

546
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:11,600
And so I want to tell you today,
do you long for that? 

547
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,400
If you long for things to impact
others, it begins within your 

548
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,300
hearts, honoring crisis. 
Holy, that's where it's our and 

549
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:22,800
let the let the rest just flow. 
Let the rest just happen. 

550
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:26,600
You'd be amazed you'd be amazed 
to see how people will take 

551
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,000
notice. 
Even though they don't vocalize 

552
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,100
it, they will take notice. 
So we come back to 2nd Samuel. 

553
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,900
The news about the blessings, 
eventually reached David. 

554
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:40,900
And in awakened him, I want this
for my life. 

555
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:44,500
I want this for the nation. 
But this time he was going to go

556
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:46,300
about it in a completely 
different way. 

557
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,000
And we heard the first 
Chronicles 15, right? 

558
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,900
You want to see how he did it? 
We heard it already, but in 

559
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:57,300
first Chronicles 15, remember, 
one hand and second, Samuel, one

560
00:36:57,300 --> 00:36:59,800
hand and First Chronicles, so 
should be able to flip back and 

561
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,500
forth easily in first Chronicles
15 he says a lot. 

562
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,100
But notice what he says in verse
12 and First Chronicles 15 he 

563
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:12,300
looks at the Levites and now 
again Your tool belt is on. 

564
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,300
I want you to notice it. 
Give me some things that you 

565
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:16,600
see. 
When I read this, that are 

566
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,300
important. 
And said to them, you are the 

567
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,700
heads of the fathers, houses of 
the Levites consecrate 

568
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,100
yourselves, you, and your 
brother's. 

569
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:28,500
So that you may bring up the Ark
of the Lord, the god of Israel 

570
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:31,300
to the place that I have 
prepared for it because you did 

571
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:33,900
not carry it. 
The first time, the Lord, Our 

572
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:37,700
God broke out against us because
we did not seek Him. 

573
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:42,500
According to the rule, What 
stands out to this? 

574
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,100
Two things come to mind. 
I'm sure they're more but 

575
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:49,300
there's two things that are 
vital. 

576
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:53,800
What stands out to this? 
What about this? 

577
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,700
His mistake. 
He says we didn't do it the way.

578
00:38:00,707 --> 00:38:03,600
The Bible says to do it. 
Let's go back to the book that's

579
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,400
the first thing in his own 
words. 

580
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,200
We did not seek Him according to
the rule and like our brother 

581
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,800
said, I'm sure David went back 
to his home and he asked for the

582
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,800
Scrolls. 
And if he was a righteous King 

583
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,000
in this regard, he would had a 
copy of God's word. 

584
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,300
According to Deuteronomy 17, he 
would have studied And come to 

585
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:25,000
the conclusion. 
We did it wrong. 

586
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,700
Some would say that he knew what
he was doing wrong, that could 

587
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:31,300
be true as well. 
Regardless, he went back to the 

588
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,100
source, the answers were there, 
we have to do it according to 

589
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,900
the rule. 
And, you know, here's the thing,

590
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:42,800
somebody said, it two weeks ago 
when we looked at David's 

591
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,900
initial humility, when remember 
First Chronicles 13? 

592
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,100
He asked the leaders and he 
asked the people. 

593
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:50,300
Hey, what do you guys think? 
If we grab the ark, we praise 

594
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:54,000
them for his humility there. 
We said wow, what a leader, he 

595
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,500
didn't force himself on others, 
his spirituality was attractive,

596
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,500
it wasn't repulsive. 
And and there is a Grace that he

597
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:02,300
says why don't we go do this 
together? 

598
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,200
My heart is for the presence of 
God. 

599
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,000
Come on, let's do this. 
But here is his problem even in 

600
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,600
that, he did not. 
Old God, a church, any ministry 

601
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,000
will get in a lot of trouble 
when they treat Ministry and and

602
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,400
the local fold as a democracy. 
Meaning what we start asking 

603
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,500
people their opinions and we 
take votes and stuff. 

604
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:25,300
I'm not against 
congregationalism where they 

605
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:27,800
have that system. 
I'm saying when we run to the 

606
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,000
people, and when we think we can
get their ideas and based on 

607
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,800
their ideas will move forward, 
and don't go to the word we're 

608
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,800
in trouble. 
The word has to have supreme 

609
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,200
authority over all of us and 
that's where blessings come. 

610
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,400
And so David here, he got a vote
but he didn't get God's voice. 

611
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,900
He got the majority but he 
didn't get God's approval. 

612
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:50,900
So he says, we're going back to 
the world, that's where we're 

613
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:52,200
safe. 
And that's where God will open 

614
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,400
his Blessing. 
But there's a second thing he 

615
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,700
didn't just say, we're going 
back to the rule. 

616
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,400
He said something else 
initially, what is he saying? 

617
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:07,800
Consecrate yourselves. 
You want to Modern version clean

618
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,100
up your life. 
That's what he's saying that's 

619
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:15,800
important because to David, it 
wasn't enough for everybody to 

620
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,200
cross every T into dot every I 
and to just have everything in 

621
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,800
place. 
The way the Bible says, and then

622
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,700
just could do it with whoever 
no. 

623
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,100
It's more than just having an 
accurate biblically accurate 

624
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:32,400
Church government, it's more 
than having scripturally sound 

625
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,000
hymns and worship songs. 
It's more than just preaching. 

626
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,300
Verse by verse our pastor 
preaches biblically, it's more 

627
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:41,800
than having everything in place 
because none of that means 

628
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,300
anything. 
If those who occupy, those 

629
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:51,200
ministerial positions are Unholy
It wasn't just concerned about 

630
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,000
doing the bare minimum here. 
Let's just just, let's just try 

631
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,500
to do this and he says, no, no, 
no, we have to be holy our 

632
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,100
personalized. 
I'd be right. 

633
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,000
Not just me coming up on the 
stage and being somebody for for

634
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,800
half an hour and then I'm 
something else out there, you 

635
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,500
know, we must consecrate 
ourselves. 

636
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,500
And this is what he was calling 
for, and the people obeyed. 

637
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,900
And so the sounds kind of 
daunting right? 

638
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:22,300
I mean because we hear what we 
hear strict adherence, we hear a

639
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:24,600
high spiritual standard for 
those who would serve at any 

640
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,400
capacity that sounds difficult. 
That sounds disheartening. 

641
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:34,500
That sounds scary for some And 
so Satan would say rules rules. 

642
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:36,700
Really God is not a god of 
rules, you don't have to worry 

643
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:37,900
about that. 
God is flexible. 

644
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:39,700
You can bend things around. 
It's all right. 

645
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,700
Here's the thing, here's what's 
amazing. 

646
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:45,700
When David did have his own way 
when he went for the ark 

647
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:48,800
initially what did I do to him? 
What were the two emotions that 

648
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,800
he felt? 
Fear was one in the what? 

649
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,600
There was one before that anger.
Behold the life of somebody who 

650
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,000
wants to play it by their own 
rules. 

651
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:00,300
You want to relate to God the 
way you think you want to relate

652
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:02,500
to God. 
You're not going to get his 

653
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:04,600
Blessing, you're going to get 
turmoil, you're going to get 

654
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,900
confusion, you're going to get 
hollowness. 

655
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,400
You're going to get all this 
things that you don't want that.

656
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,300
You think you would Escape by 
saying, I'm going to do it my 

657
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:21,100
way and in fact, you and Harold 
the total opposite And when 

658
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:23,700
David does say consecrate 
yourselves, they obey when he 

659
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,200
says, we're going back to the 
book and we're going to stay as 

660
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,000
close as possible to the 
instructions of God, two things 

661
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,600
happen. 
Two, things happen that didn't 

662
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,800
happen when he said. 
I think that I'm just going to 

663
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,800
walk with my own wisdom and my 
own understanding of what a 

664
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,800
Christian should be two things 
happen. 

665
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:44,300
You scroll down and look what 
happens in verse 25 and First 

666
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:48,100
Chronicles 15. 
So David and the Elders of 

667
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:52,800
Israel and the commanders of 
thousands went to bring up the 

668
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,600
Ark of the Covenant of the Lord 
from the house of obededom with 

669
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:05,900
what Rejoice rejoice in joy. 
genuine heartfelt deep-seated 

670
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:10,700
joy in the place of what in the 
lane of ready for this rule, 

671
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:15,600
keeping Actually taking God at 
his word, as, and trying to be 

672
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,300
as close to obeying it as 
possible in that World. 

673
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:23,700
The Joy open up. 
Jesus says these things I have 

674
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:27,900
spoken to you that your joy may 
be full. 

675
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:34,500
Even before they says that, my 
joy may be in, you understand? 

676
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:38,600
That Christ wants to impart his 
joy, and it can only be 

677
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,000
experienced in the place of 
these things. 

678
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,300
I have spoken to you. 
Lord, what did you say? 

679
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:46,100
I will do it. 
He says here's a joy and he says

680
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:47,600
my joy. 
You know what that means? 

681
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:51,900
Supernatural, Joy Christ, being 
Supernatural himself saying I'm 

682
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:54,700
going to give you something that
nothing in this world can even 

683
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:58,900
come close to and the place of 
obedience so Joy. 

684
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:01,700
There is real Joy. 
Can I prove it to you? 

685
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,300
Can I put you have seen 
miserable Christians my whole 

686
00:44:04,300 --> 00:44:06,900
life, I've seen them happy and 
sometimes and other times, just 

687
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:09,500
miserable and the happiest 
you've ever been, right? 

688
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,100
Is when you were closest to 
Jesus. 

689
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:17,300
And when you got busy. 
And it began to affect your 

690
00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:20,100
schedule and it began to affect 
your time with the Lord and your

691
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:23,100
time here on the house of God, 
and you see now worldliness 

692
00:44:23,100 --> 00:44:26,800
creeping in you were distracted 
but you weren't joyful. 

693
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,000
You had little fireworks of 
excitement, but it quickly 

694
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,900
turned into smoke. 
The most miserable that you have

695
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:38,700
ever been is when you are 
furthest from God and the most 

696
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:42,900
joyful, and the most energetic 
you've been is when you're 

697
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:46,000
closest to, it's super easy. 
When you first got saved, what 

698
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,300
happened? 
Your world revolves around 

699
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:52,700
Christ and if felt like you were
floating every day you can just 

700
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:56,800
walk through walls. 
Almost nothing can stop you and 

701
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,800
you see that is the joy that 
Christ wants us to walk in. 

702
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,700
And that can only come when 
you're totally sold out there. 

703
00:45:06,100 --> 00:45:09,400
When you're like David, and you 
have these mixed Ambitions? 

704
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,400
I want the Ark of God, but I 
want the new cart from 

705
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,800
philistine. 
It's not going to happen and 

706
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,000
here's what else not going to 
happen. 

707
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,400
Look at the second thing that 
ensued in verse 26. 

708
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,500
And because God helped the 
Levites who were carrying the 

709
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:27,600
Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.
They sacrifice seven, bowls and 

710
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,100
seven Rams. 
What happened? 

711
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:35,100
God, help them. 
God help them when they did it 

712
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:36,600
with the new cart that God help 
them. 

713
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,400
He let the things stumble, who's
a put out his hand, he dies when

714
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,700
these men took the ark, put it 
on their shoulders with those 

715
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:50,400
poles and they started to head 
towards Jerusalem it says God 

716
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:55,300
came and he helped them And 
here's here's the messed-up 

717
00:45:55,300 --> 00:45:57,700
thing, right? 
We think that, if we do Church, 

718
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:00,200
the worldly way, if we do our 
personal walk with the Lord, the

719
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,200
worldly way, it will be lighter,
it'll be easier. 

720
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:08,100
It'll be happier. 
All the while we stumble along 

721
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:12,300
the way and yet the very thing 
that intimidates people, the 

722
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:15,400
very thing that people don't 
believe can work like preaching 

723
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,100
the Bible, just the way it is 
and having true church and not 

724
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:21,800
just entertainment. 
And not trying to win people 

725
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,000
with means that are silly and 
shallow when we do it, the way 

726
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,300
God does it as much as it's 
demanding as much as it may not 

727
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:30,600
be popular. 
God's help. 

728
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,700
Is there he comes to assist you.
Now that might not mean much to 

729
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,900
you because you're not in a 
position of leadership in a 

730
00:46:37,908 --> 00:46:39,600
church. 
So let me personalize it. 

731
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,300
God is ready to help you 
forgive. 

732
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,000
Because you know why people 
don't forgive their empowered by

733
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,600
holding something against 
somebody else? 

734
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,000
When you don't forgive you, I 
have something against you, 

735
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,300
right? 
This is how sick we are, because

736
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:56,700
the person that hurt us, we let 
them know, we're still hurt, and

737
00:46:56,700 --> 00:46:59,000
we see that that hurts them, and
that makes us feel good. 

738
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:01,500
That's sick. 
That's who we are though. 

739
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,200
And so, when Jesus says, forgive
forget the past, I don't hold 

740
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,700
that person's past against them.
Why are you keep bringing it up?

741
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:11,000
And you can't seem to do it. 
He's ready to help you. 

742
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,100
He's ready to help you. 
But you have to step out in 

743
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:20,100
obedience Purity, right? 
In the sexually-charged world. 

744
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,600
You can't go on and any kind of 
Avenue on your phone. 

745
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,600
You can't do almost anything in 
our city without some kind of 

746
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,400
pornographic thing popping in 
your face. 

747
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Purity is a possible. 
It's possible. 

748
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,900
He's ready to help you anger, 
anger rage. 

749
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:35,200
Right. 
You're angry person, right? 

750
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:40,700
He's ready to help you. 
With anything you think is so 

751
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:43,100
difficult and you think that you
can substitute it with your own 

752
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:46,900
Silly ideas or excuses, let that
die like uzza died. 

753
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,300
Trust God's word, walk in faith 
and watch the help cop. 

754
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:54,600
Watch his grace meet you in that
place. 

755
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,200
So, they experience this help. 
And they're walking, and they 

756
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,200
sensed this grace. 
And we come back to 2nd Samuel 

757
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,000
and we have two verses left and 
we're done. 

758
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,200
If we thought that this was 
unusual. 

759
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,500
David is going to do something. 
More unusual. 

760
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,400
Somebody observed, in our 
initial reading verse 13 and 

761
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,600
those Who Bore the Ark of the 
Lord had gone, six steps. 

762
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,200
He sacrificed an ox and a fat 
and animal. 

763
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,900
Here's my question, is that 
required in the law? 

764
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,600
Is there any command that you 
can find in the Old Testament 

765
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:39,600
says, when the arc goes out, six
steps stop build an altar of 

766
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,500
burnt some animals. 
No, it's not. 

767
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:47,000
It's not found anywhere. 
Not even slightly suggested 

768
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
anyway. 
So then what's the next 

769
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,500
question? 
Why did he do it? 

770
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:55,800
You have some who believe that 
David actually did this every 

771
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,300
six steps and I can see how they
can read that into it. 

772
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:03,500
But there is a verse that 
challenges that idea. 

773
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,900
He imagined every six step 
stopping and making a sacrifice.

774
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:10,600
I mean, as much as that sounds 
crazy, when you see what Solomon

775
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,600
did at the inauguration of the 
temple, he sacrificed thousands 

776
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,800
upon thousands of animals, so 
then you're like, maybe it is 

777
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,200
possible, but I don't think 
that's what David David is doing

778
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,500
your I think after the first six
steps, right? 

779
00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:26,100
So you have these guys, they're 
carrying 12 and I'm not going to

780
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:33,400
do the six steps, David stop. 
Build an altar, get the animals.

781
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,400
Let's sacrifice unto the Lord. 
Any idea, why he did this? 

782
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,400
Okay, you're on to something but
not yet. 

783
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:47,400
There's something there though, 
you're very close. 

784
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,400
But why does he doing why is he 
doing this? 

785
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,300
So, is there a connection 
between David not experiencing 

786
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:01,300
God's judgment and him 
responding to that reality? 

787
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:04,600
So there's that. 
Any other idea? 

788
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,100
Okay, so to six steps to get out
of the house and once they got 

789
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:13,800
out of the house, like okay, 
here we are. 

790
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:16,600
But what does that have to do 
with the sacrifice then? 

791
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:27,800
What did you say? 
Because of what, You have it. 

792
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,800
The answer is actually in the 
verse and First Chronicles 25 

793
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,500
that we just covered, it's 
actually tells us right there 

794
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:41,100
first Chronicles 15 verse 26 and
because God helped the Levites 

795
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,000
who were carrying the Ark of the
Covenant of the Lord. 

796
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,600
They sacrifice seven, bowls and 
seven Rams. 

797
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:53,100
That's why So David knowing 
that, I don't know what he saw, 

798
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:58,100
but he saw the Lord, assisting 
these men and blessing their 

799
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,700
Journey even early on to the 
point. 

800
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:05,000
Where says everyone stop. 
Let's give thanks to the Lord, 

801
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:08,000
so they get the altar, they get 
the animals and they worship 

802
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,900
God. 
And In the Flesh and the 

803
00:51:11,900 --> 00:51:15,600
natural, we would look at that 
and some would criticize and say

804
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,600
why are you taking your time? 
We don't need to do all of this,

805
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,900
we can get to Jerusalem. 
Faster, and have a bigger 

806
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:24,300
celebration, you're hindering, 
the journey. 

807
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,400
Come on, let's go. 
It's the same kind of critical 

808
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,800
attitude that Mary of Bethany 
experienced. 

809
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,800
Remember, when she broke open, 
that Alabaster flask imported an

810
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,400
anointed Jesus, and Judas. 
And the disciple says, why this 

811
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,100
waste you didn't have to do 
this. 

812
00:51:40,100 --> 00:51:42,700
In fact, We could have used this
for something else. 

813
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:50,100
The enemy tends to try to 
convince us and the Flesh and 

814
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:54,900
our own mind that we give more 
to God. 

815
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:59,100
It's not really beneficial. 
There's no need to do more than 

816
00:51:59,100 --> 00:52:03,500
what he asks of us. 
Just do the bare minimum, give 

817
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:08,400
him what he ordered and move on.
Right? 

818
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,400
But there are people and it's it
breaks my heart to say that it's

819
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,500
not Collective. 
I wish it was. 

820
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,200
But there are others who have 
experienced something of God, 

821
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,600
who have tasted something like, 
David, tasted of the goodness of

822
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,800
God, seeing his help in the legs
of these priests moving forward 

823
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:30,700
to such a degree that they can't
help. 

824
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:33,600
But gold more than what God 
asked of them. 

825
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:36,900
It's not legalism. 
If you're doing out of joy, 

826
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,300
There are some people who say 
Sunday morning church his not 

827
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:43,800
enough. 
I want to be in a house of God 

828
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,300
as much as possible. 
I know some people schedules. 

829
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:48,200
I'll permit that I'm talking 
about the heart desire. 

830
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:50,500
How I want to be where the 
Lord's people are? 

831
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:54,000
I want to hear more about God. 
I want to sing more to the Lord.

832
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,200
And so they come and you have 
people say why why is it Sunday 

833
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,500
afternoon up? 
It's not legalism. 

834
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:02,600
It's because they've been 
touched by the Lord. 

835
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:06,200
You have people who pray and 
they don't just pray and give 

836
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,100
God a grocery list, so they can 
go on with their day. 

837
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:11,600
They pray and they stayed in a 
personalized, way, in a private 

838
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,100
way. 
They Worship the Lord, they love

839
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:15,700
the Lord, they Adorn him with 
their praises and people think 

840
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:17,200
it's strange. 
Why are you doing that? 

841
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,300
Why? 
Why this sacrifice? 

842
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,900
It's not, it's you don't have to
do that. 

843
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,500
I know I don't have to I want to
He's worthy. 

844
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,200
This is what he's done and it 
pulls something out of me. 

845
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,000
More than just the bottom of the
barrel. 

846
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,600
Of my life. 
I think that's what David is 

847
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,300
demonstrating here. 
He didn't have to, he wanted to,

848
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,600
I want to get to that place 
where I walk with the Lord, 

849
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,900
where I understand what he's 
done in my life to such a degree

850
00:53:46,900 --> 00:53:50,000
that it naturally, just pulls 
more out of me. 

851
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,000
And I gladly, give it to him, 
let people criticize all they 

852
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,800
want. 
People want to be spiritual 

853
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,600
skeletons, looking to be 
spiritual skeletons. 

854
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:04,300
He sacrifice an ox and with 
fatten animal but no one is what

855
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:05,500
he does. 
In verse 14, and this is where 

856
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:09,800
we're concluding and David 
danced before the Lord and makes

857
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,800
people very uncomfortable. 
Something AMA Nations, more than

858
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,600
others. 
David danced before the Lord 

859
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,600
with all his might? 
We'll cover that next week but 

860
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,900
the second part of the verse is 
what you should look into. 

861
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:31,200
David was wearing a linen. 
Ephod Linen ephod. 

862
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:38,500
A Priestly garment. 
It's, it's there in the Old 

863
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:41,000
Testament where that is a part 
of their outfit. 

864
00:54:44,300 --> 00:54:47,200
And some would look at this and 
say, there's no problem here 

865
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,300
because David is actually 
demonstrated humility. 

866
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:55,800
He disrobed himself from his 
royalty and he puts on a an 

867
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,400
apron like things so that he can
relate and blend in with the 

868
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,300
priests and not stand out the 
arc, the presence of God. 

869
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:04,000
That's the true king, not David,
not David. 

870
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:06,100
I'm just, I'm just an ordinary 
servant of God, like these 

871
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,900
others who are going with me 
others would add to that and 

872
00:55:08,900 --> 00:55:13,000
say, well, Samuel little Samuel 
and first Samuel to we're told 

873
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,700
that he wore Linden. 
Thought and so David, wearing it

874
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:18,600
is not a big deal but there's a 
problem there. 

875
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:24,700
Samuel is is from what lineage? 
Is he from Judah? 

876
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:28,900
Or is he from a different tribe?
How could even become a priest? 

877
00:55:28,900 --> 00:55:32,900
A few was not a He was Levi, say
it was a Levi. 

878
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:36,800
He's one of the descendants of 
Korah. 

879
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:41,800
So Samuel makes sense for him to
wear a linen. 

880
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,500
Ephod, Samuel was being raised 
up to be a priest and to give 

881
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:47,100
him a little leaf onto it was 
cute. 

882
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:49,900
And it was, it was a statement 
there that he was set apart unto

883
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:52,800
God. 
David is not from Levi. 

884
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:58,500
David is from where. 
Jude, he's from the tribe of 

885
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:03,400
Judah. 
There's a lot of if you continue

886
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,800
this chapter there, a lot of 
connotations there are a lot of 

887
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,200
little hints of Priestly 
activity that David performs can

888
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,300
I give an example to scroll down
to verse 18 very quickly. 

889
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,700
And when David had finished, 
offering the burnt offerings and

890
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:22,000
the peace offerings. 
He blessed, the people, in the 

891
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:27,000
name of the Lord of hosts, So 
someone say, that's not David 

892
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,100
doing it, that's the priest 
doing it through his command, 

893
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:32,000
okay? 
But even the second part, where 

894
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,500
he blesses people, in the name 
of the Lord, that's what priests

895
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:38,900
do. 
So you get these hints of David 

896
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:44,600
dressing like and acting like a 
what priest? 

897
00:56:46,300 --> 00:56:49,500
Somebody got in a lot of trouble
for most for, assuming the role 

898
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:51,100
of a priest. 
Remember him? 

899
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,800
Yes. 
Saul did not wait for Samuel 

900
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:58,300
early on in his ministry when he
went to war with the Philistines

901
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:02,700
and he builds an altar and he 
performs a sacrifice and got 

902
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:06,800
held it against them. 
David here. 

903
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,100
Wearing a linen ephod. 
And if 18 we take it literally 

904
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:17,600
he's somewhat participating in 
the offerings and he he assumes 

905
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,700
this blessing upon others as 
though he has some kind of 

906
00:57:21,707 --> 00:57:25,200
authority Spiritual Authority. 
Why? 

907
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:36,100
how is he chosen to be, what did
he Okay, you have to prove it 

908
00:57:36,100 --> 00:57:39,500
though. 
Did God choose him to be a 

909
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:43,800
priest? 
He's anointed by the Lord to be 

910
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,800
a priest. 
He's a prophet. 

911
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,900
He is a prophet acts tells us 
he's a prophet. 

912
00:57:54,700 --> 00:58:10,700
Okay, what does it say? 
Is that speaking about David 

913
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:13,900
though? 
Why is David wearing a linen? 

914
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:40,000
Ephod? 
Okay, so you, I see what you're 

915
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,100
saying, maybe the priests 
allowed him to say David, it's 

916
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:43,400
okay, you're, you're close to 
us. 

917
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,000
We know who you are, you can 
have, I don't know. 

918
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,600
That's, I understand where 
you're coming from. 

919
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,300
That's a, that's a interesting 
way of looking at it. 

920
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,700
You can see why people are 
wrestle with this, right? 

921
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:58,600
And they just want to kind of 
just shoo it away to say, it's 

922
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,200
not as a it's not a big deal for
him to wear this, it's just a 

923
00:59:01,207 --> 00:59:02,900
cloth. 
It's not really the Priestly 

924
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:05,900
garments and so they kind of 
just want to not deal with it. 

925
00:59:07,700 --> 00:59:12,400
A couple more before moving on. 
Why would this and you're going 

926
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,700
to find out later on, in our 
studies second saying, I brought

927
00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:18,600
this up to a few people, you can
actually realize that we're told

928
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,000
in second Samuel, that David's 
Sons. 

929
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,700
Were what? 
Priest. 

930
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:29,300
Priest. 
What's happening here? 

931
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:34,200
That's exclusive to the Levites.
What are people from Judah doing

932
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:40,300
operating in the same capacity 
as priests will get there but 

933
00:59:40,300 --> 00:59:41,400
let's just deal with this for 
now. 

934
00:59:42,900 --> 01:00:02,400
A couple more in the Moon. 
Yeah. 

935
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:10,000
Okay, so he's kind of filling in
the role in the transition with 

936
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,600
Samuel who is a prophet priest. 
I these are these are 

937
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,100
interesting points for sure. 
Yes. 

938
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,100
Great observation. 
Did you guys hear that when 

939
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:36,500
David took the holy bread back 
in first Samuel, nothing nothing

940
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:38,800
happened to him, then when that 
was solely reserved for the 

941
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,800
priests. 
So you have these again, you 

942
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,000
have these little things that 
are happening in David's life 

943
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,500
where he reaches into the lane 
of priesthood and he does a 

944
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:53,300
couple things and God doesn't 
seem to intervene like he did 

945
01:00:53,300 --> 01:01:00,200
with saw one more of them and 
explain my Ah, did you hear 

946
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,300
that? 
Is there something there? 

947
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:09,200
In light of Jesus Christ. 
Okay, let's stop here. 

948
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,900
Right. 
David wrote, one of the clearest

949
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:19,500
Messianic songs that is often 
quoted in the New Testament, 

950
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,900
does anybody know what song I'm 
talking about? 

951
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,500
22 is a good one, but not 22, 
not to. 

952
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:31,700
That's a good one though. 
Nope, clothes. 110. 

953
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,800
Go to Psalm 110. 
Once you see you're going to 

954
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,100
say, oh, okay, I know it's 
something that that is Psalm 

955
01:01:38,100 --> 01:01:47,800
110. 
The Lord says to my Lord, 

956
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:53,700
remember when Jesus used that. 
Sit at my right hand until I 

957
01:01:53,700 --> 01:01:55,600
make your enemies your 
footstool. 

958
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,500
The Lord sends forth, from Zion,
your Mighty scepter rule in the 

959
01:02:01,500 --> 01:02:07,400
midst of your enemies. 
David's son his descendant. 

960
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,100
And remember, David wrote this 
song. 

961
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:14,700
David's son. 
Would be his Lord. 

962
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,700
And Jesus used that against the 
religious leaders of his day to 

963
01:02:19,700 --> 01:02:23,600
say, how could he be his son 
while also being his Lord? 

964
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:25,500
He knew the scriptures is 
amazing. 

965
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,200
And so David, under the 
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, 

966
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,900
at one point in his life, 
understood that my seed. 

967
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,600
Will be the Messiah, God 
himself. 

968
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,200
And as we read in verse two, 
Mighty scepter, rule in the 

969
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,600
midst of your enemies. 
What is that? 

970
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,900
What does that imply? 
He's going to be a king. 

971
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,600
But just the king, go to verse 
4. 

972
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,200
The Lord has sworn and will not 
change his mind. 

973
01:02:56,300 --> 01:03:03,400
You are priest forever. after 
the order of who not Aaron 

974
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:08,900
Melchizedek, So, track with me 
here, David under the 

975
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:12,800
inspiration of the Holy Spirit 
has a revelation, my seed. 

976
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,200
My son will be king, but he will
also be my Lord. 

977
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,000
There's something Divine about 
that. 

978
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,200
It goes beyond that though. 
He goes, not only is he going to

979
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,900
be a king, he's going to be a 
priest. 

980
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,400
And here's was astounding. 
You never had a marriage of 

981
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,300
those two roles. 
It was never legitimised in the 

982
01:03:33,300 --> 01:03:35,900
Old Testament, the kings were 
Kings. 

983
01:03:35,900 --> 01:03:39,600
The priests were priests, and 
whenever a king, try to be a 

984
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,000
priest. 
Remember, remember was I right? 

985
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,300
He went into the temple and he 
tried to give offering, and 

986
01:03:45,300 --> 01:03:47,100
80-something priest, right in. 
And they said, you're not 

987
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:50,200
supposed to be doing that, and 
he was struck with Leprosy. 

988
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,000
So Kings were in one lane. 
Priests were another, they there

989
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
was. 
But this, this this son of 

990
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,900
David, there's gonna be like a 
hybrid. 

991
01:03:57,700 --> 01:04:01,200
He's going to be a king and a 
priest that alone is mind 

992
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,100
blowing to the Jew, But it's 
even more than that because you 

993
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:08,400
would think, okay, you are a 
priest Forever After the order 

994
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:17,100
of Aaron. after the order of 
Melchizedek, Mackenzie deck is 

995
01:04:17,100 --> 01:04:20,200
only mentioned like really in 
three parts of the Bible. 

996
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,900
Genesis Psalm 110 Hebrews 
chapter 7. 

997
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:25,600
There's not much said about him.
That's by Divine Design. 

998
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:30,300
Hebrews tells us why God the 
Holy Spirit omit certain details

999
01:04:30,300 --> 01:04:34,100
about Melchizedek namely. 
We don't know where he's from, 

1000
01:04:34,100 --> 01:04:37,200
we don't know his lineage and we
don't know when and how he died.

1001
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,400
when is Melchizedek first 
mentioned in the Bible, Genesis 

1002
01:04:43,700 --> 01:04:47,100
and 14 verse 18. 
You have to go there to see how 

1003
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:49,200
this relates to David to a 
certain extent. 

1004
01:04:50,100 --> 01:05:01,000
Genesis 14 18, He was a king. 
you know, Genesis 14, 18, 

1005
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:08,400
Genesis 14, 18, And Melchizedek.
King of Salem. 

1006
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,000
Brought out Bread and Wine like 
come on brought out Bread and 

1007
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:18,600
Wine. 
He was Priest of God, most high.

1008
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,400
Now kids are the king of Salem 
brought out Bread and Wine. 

1009
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:28,000
He was Priest of God, most high.
He appears out of nowhere 

1010
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,900
mysteriously just appears on the
scene comes before Abraham. 

1011
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:36,200
Abraham recognizes something so 
Superior of him that he's 

1012
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:41,500
compelled to give a tithe to him
Melchizedek blesses Abraham. 

1013
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:46,600
And as I said, the obscurity of 
Melchizedek the omission of 

1014
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:52,400
certain details, the author of 
Hebrews use, That to make a case

1015
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,600
for Jesus. 
Don't lift your hand unless you 

1016
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,300
want to show me. 
Do you believe now? 

1017
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:04,500
Keswick was Jesus. 
He wasn't because in Hebrews 7, 

1018
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:10,300
we read that Melchizedek. 
Jesus coming from, his 

1019
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:12,900
priesthood was like him, he 
wasn't him. 

1020
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:16,700
So, Melchizedek is not Jesus, 
just to clarify that, right? 

1021
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,600
He's a separate individual. 
He's an actual priest. 

1022
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:27,000
And Jesus is priesthood. 
Comes from him. and the fact 

1023
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:32,000
that you don't know where he 
came from and how he left The 

1024
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,900
author of Hebrews uses that to 
make a case for the eternality 

1025
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:39,400
of Jesus in his divine nature 
and in his priesthood, its 

1026
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,800
unending, never had really a 
Jesus, never had a beginning. 

1027
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,800
He doesn't have an end and like 
Melchizedek the obscurity of the

1028
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:52,700
blurriness around him is to 
signify that Jesus in the 

1029
01:06:52,700 --> 01:06:57,000
literal substance form is 
without beginning Without End. 

1030
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,800
Tracking with me so far. 
Okay good. 

1031
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,700
I hope so. 
Just talk to me afterwards if 

1032
01:07:01,700 --> 01:07:04,300
you didn't. 
So let's let's backtrack for a 

1033
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:07,900
second. 
David had a revelation, my son 

1034
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,500
is going to be a king, he's 
going to be my Lord but it's 

1035
01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:14,600
also going to be a priest not 
after Aaron, but after 

1036
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,800
Melchizedek. 
Okay. 

1037
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,500
But when you come to Genesis 14 
18, you realize that Melchizedek

1038
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:25,100
there's individual Was a priest 
of God most high, but he was 

1039
01:07:25,100 --> 01:07:34,300
also the king of Salem. 
West Salem. 

1040
01:07:36,300 --> 01:07:40,700
Prove it. 
Sounds like Jerusalem. 

1041
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,600
If it's Jerusalem and this is, 
this is massive. 

1042
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,800
King of Salem. 
If you're a note taker or if you

1043
01:07:53,808 --> 01:07:58,000
have really good memory here's 
how you know Salem is Jerusalem.

1044
01:07:58,100 --> 01:08:08,500
Ready Psalm 76 verse 1 and verse
2, Psalm 76 verse 1 and verse 2 

1045
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,400
tells us That's Salem is 
Jerusalem. 

1046
01:08:20,300 --> 01:08:27,600
In Judah, God is known. his name
is great in Israel, his Abode 

1047
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:33,700
has been established where And 
Salem his Dwelling Place in 

1048
01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:37,300
Zaire. 
Now, we know that the dwelling 

1049
01:08:37,300 --> 01:08:41,399
place of God, what end up in 
Jerusalem and the author of this

1050
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:46,000
song uses the ancient reference 
for Jerusalem that we find in 

1051
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,600
Genesis, 14, 18 and I believe 
the Holy Spirit did that by 

1052
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,000
Design. 
So that when you would see that 

1053
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,600
Melchizedek was the king of 
Salem, and you kept reading your

1054
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,399
Bible and came to some 76. 
You would realize that Salem was

1055
01:08:57,399 --> 01:09:04,300
Jerusalem, So Melchizedek was 
the king of where Jerusalem at 

1056
01:09:04,300 --> 01:09:07,200
one point. 
Jerusalem before it was 

1057
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:11,800
recognized as the city of David.
Yes, but Jerusalem nonetheless. 

1058
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Here's what I'm proposing. 
It's not dogmatic. 

1059
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:24,700
Could it be just, could it be 
that David being a prophet and 

1060
01:09:24,700 --> 01:09:28,500
having a level of revelation of 
the Messiah, that would come 

1061
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:34,500
from his seed? 
He knew that his son would be a 

1062
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:39,800
king. 
My Lord, a priest, after the 

1063
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:46,300
order of Melchizedek and knowing
Genesis Melchizedek was a king 

1064
01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:55,100
and priest from where Jerusalem.
My son one day is going to be 

1065
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,800
king and priest. 
We're in Jerusalem. 

1066
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,300
That's where we're waiting in 
the second coming. 

1067
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,200
He's going to come and set up 
his Rule and reign in Jerusalem.

1068
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,800
Could it be that with that 
understanding when David became 

1069
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:17,400
king of Jerusalem in the very 
text that we are studying? 

1070
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,000
Maybe I'm allowed to wear a 
little ephod. 

1071
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:30,000
I'm king of Jerusalem. 
And Melchizedek priest king. 

1072
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,500
My son is going to be king and 
priest. 

1073
01:10:32,700 --> 01:10:35,600
I'm not going to obstruct the 
lineage of air and I'm not gonna

1074
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,600
obstruct what God is established
through Aaron. 

1075
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,700
But let me just where literally 
fought for now and let me just 

1076
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:43,500
let me just help a little bit 
here with some of the sacrifice.

1077
01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:45,000
Let me just pronounce one 
blessing. 

1078
01:10:46,500 --> 01:10:51,500
I wonder if David was just 
entertaining the thought knowing

1079
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:56,600
what the Holy Spirit revealed 
about him his son and that royal

1080
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:01,200
priesthood how there would come 
one day someone from Judah. 

1081
01:11:02,500 --> 01:11:06,500
Who would have a greater 
priesthood than that of Aaron? 

1082
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,700
It would be a greater King than 
all the other kings that came 

1083
01:11:09,700 --> 01:11:12,900
from David seed. 
Could it be that when you put 

1084
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:14,900
the pieces together in this 
moment? 

1085
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:19,700
David was just entertaining. 
The idea for himself knowing his

1086
01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:23,300
history and knowing his future 
is in the, the Bible. 

1087
01:11:23,300 --> 01:11:25,400
Amazing is in the word of God. 
Wonderful. 

1088
01:11:25,900 --> 01:11:27,400
Let's pray. 
Thank God for this. 

1089
01:11:43,500 --> 01:11:50,000
But we are amazed at your word. 
We are overwhelmed by Your Word,

1090
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:52,600
Lord. 
You are the author of this word.

1091
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:55,700
We Rejoice at your word as a 
song. 

1092
01:11:55,700 --> 01:12:01,800
Say we Rejoice at your word. 
Lord tonight on this Friday 

1093
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,700
evening. 
We want to thank you for 

1094
01:12:04,700 --> 01:12:08,900
touching our hearts. 
Thank you, Lord, for the word 

1095
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:13,800
richly abiding in us and Lord. 
At this time, we respond to the 

1096
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,100
things that we have just 
listened to and absorbed. 

1097
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:20,300
And we give you glory and we say
thank you Lord. 

1098
01:12:20,900 --> 01:12:24,400
Thank you, Lord, that you have 
shown us that you living in us 

1099
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,600
at you being Lord. 
Over us, is a blessing is not a 

1100
01:12:28,608 --> 01:12:34,500
burden. 
You don't destroy You don't kill

1101
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:40,100
you, don't give less you, give 
more you complete, you bring 

1102
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:43,400
abundance and or we have all 
experienced that and we've 

1103
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,100
experienced a new level of it 
tonight. 

1104
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:49,600
Father, we thank you that you 
have graced us with this portion

1105
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,500
and what we just want to with 
the remaining strength that we 

1106
01:12:52,500 --> 01:12:58,400
have magnify your name and to 
extol you and to give praise to 

1107
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,300
the king and priest who is to 
come again Rule and Reign from 

1108
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:08,500
Jerusalem and that Lord, we 
would be We would be those who 

1109
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:11,300
are heirs with Christ be holding
you and marveling at you. 

1110
01:13:11,300 --> 01:13:15,200
Thank you for redeeming us, and 
thank you for promising that 

1111
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,500
future for us. 
Lord, we just, we give you 

1112
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:21,000
praise, we are overwhelmed, 
overjoyed and now we Channel. 

1113
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:25,800
This wonderful experience into 
Worship in Jesus name, we pray. 

1114
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:26,900
Amen. 
Any man. 

1115

Lord?
