Dad Marzia romanized is Mari 39 00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:55,100 issue. Dad Marussia. 40 00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:59,900 Circa 8850. So mid 18th century. 41 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:03,900 He was a bishop of Hadith which was a town, close to the mouth 42 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,700 of the other Mount of the great, Zab in Arabic. 43 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:13,900 It's called and zap al-kabir. And in Kurdish is z budino, no 44 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:17,200 Zane machine. And it was during the Abbasid 45 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,800 caliphate, which was near the current day mosul, Iraq and a 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200 prominent Theologian. He was of the Assyrian Church of 47 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,800 the He's and best known for his commentaries on the Syriac a 48 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,500 Bible. And he quotes amazingly. 49 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:38,100 He you, he gives us 10 /. I'm sorry if seven points of why 50 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:42,400 Jesus did what he did. The, the type and the images 51 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,600 that he was portraying, excuse me. 52 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,900 And he begins by saying, why a beast of burden. 53 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:55,700 He says our Lord uses a beast of burden which was not his Mm. 54 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,300 Not on account on fatigue. He wasn't tired. 55 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,200 He wasn't exhausted on the way to Jerusalem because he walked 56 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,400 by foot for 17 miles from Jericho to the house of olives. 57 00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:16,600 And he then requests a beast or a creature, or an animal, a 58 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,500 little for a little less than two miles from the house of 59 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:24,800 Olives to Jerusalem. Why the first thing Mary should 60 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,600 add Comments, is that he went on foot from Jericho to Bethpage 61 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,500 that? He might, if typify the laborers 62 00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:35,700 and displeasures of human nature. 63 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:40,900 That is our nature, which our nature bears in this cursed 64 00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:45,200 Earth from transgression of the Commandment to this point, the 65 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,900 breaking of the Commandment to this point. 66 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,800 So, when Christ was walking, From Jericho to the house of 67 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,400 Olives. Or from Jericho de Bethpage, he 68 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,800 was typifying. Our displeasure, our fallen 69 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,500 nature, because which we had borne the guilt and the burden 70 00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:12,300 of the Fallen nature, the Fallen State because of the breaking of 71 00:05:12,308 --> 00:05:17,200 the commandant until that point. And today, even today, beloved, 72 00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:23,000 we continue to carry that burden because we are still a broken 73 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,500 sinful people. That is why we continue to sin. 74 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:32,700 That is why we continue to disobey God, but what Jesus did 75 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:35,400 gives us hope. And he goes on to say about 76 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,700 from, Bethpage the beast of burden and what preceded it Tiff 77 00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:48,800 of typify, sufficiently the retraction, or the abolition of 78 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,500 the abolishment of the Fatigue of our nature and its Liberation 79 00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,500 from harm to the rest. That is in heaven. 80 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,700 So from Jericho to Bethpage, he was typifying. 81 00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:07,200 Our burden from Bethpage to Jerusalem, which is the city 82 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,300 above ways? Sure. 83 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,300 Today our Jerusalem is the heaven that we away. 84 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:18,700 Await Christ is typifying, the that he sufficiently retracted 85 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:23,700 that burden and that he took. Took away that burden in his 86 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:27,800 nature. So that we may from this point 87 00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:32,600 until the second coming into entrance into the kingdom of 88 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,300 heaven, we will be liberated with him. 89 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,300 As secondly, he goes on to say, the Beast of Burden. 90 00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:47,200 That is the the donkey or the ass typifies, the riding on the 91 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:53,100 Flaming clouds. He's owned at once and hours 92 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,100 when he was taken up into the clouds. 93 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,900 We read in the Holy scriptures and the angel says, to the 94 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,200 disciples, why do you gaze in heaven? 95 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,400 This Jesus Christ, who was taken up. 96 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,300 So the same way he will return one more time. 97 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:13,800 But when we read 1 Thessalonians, 4:17, Paul writes 98 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:19,100 on the day when the Lord returns he writes then we who are alive 99 00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,300 and remain shall Be caught up together with them in the 100 00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:27,900 clouds, to meet our Lord in the air so that we can meet him and 101 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:32,100 greet him. And that we may come in Praise 102 00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:36,800 before him. So that we may meet our Lord in 103 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,700 the air. And so shall we ever be with our 104 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,500 Lord therefore take comfort one another, or give come or Comfort 105 00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:49,300 one another with these words. So the Beast the writing of the 106 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:56,000 Beast into Jerusalem typifies signifies he's taken up in the 107 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,300 cloud into heaven and when he returns we the same way, 108 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:04,100 according to 1 Thessalonians 4:17 will be taken up with him 109 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,600 into heaven. Ian marechal that goes on and 110 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,700 says about an ass and not another animal. 111 00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:20,100 This is to say a balusters, a white donkey We're going to read 112 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:26,500 some scripture about this white donkey, why, why was it a white 113 00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:32,600 donkey and not another animal? Number one to destroy pride. 114 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:36,000 And this is so common Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey to 115 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,700 teach us. Humility, I mean to that but he 116 00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:43,299 goes on to say to tease destroy Pride which is The Offspring of 117 00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:48,200 Satan and typify. Humility The Fountain and cause 118 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,900 of all our good things which is humility. 119 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,800 Why a blaster the balusters, which signifies he's He listened 120 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:06,900 to this, his lordship and his kingdom for it was the custom of 121 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:12,200 satraps, that is Governors and kings of that time in the Old 122 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,900 Testament to parade about in honor upon such animals, that 123 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:23,300 means a white donkey, or a white ass, a molester and evidence of. 124 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:27,200 This is Deborah. The prophetess and wise woman 125 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:33,100 saying you that are Wished among the peoples bless the Lord, and 126 00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:39,100 you that right on white asses. That is a donkey's Jude. 127 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,400 Uh, sorry, I'm sorry, Judges, chapter 5 and I think it's about 128 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,500 first 10. So what would happen Kings and 129 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:51,000 governors returning from from wars being Victorious on these 130 00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,100 white donkeys? And and the crowd would shout 131 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,200 save save, meaning you saved us from our enemies. 132 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,000 That's what I was. Earning means, Hosanna is a 133 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,200 praise but Hosanna means save because Jesus Christ is going to 134 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,400 save us from the burden of sin, and he will ride and we to with 135 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400 him when he returns into the Kingdom of Heaven. 136 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,300 Those who have or will be saved on that day when he returns, 137 00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:23,600 that is why it was not an ordinary donkey. 138 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:27,000 It was a white donkey. It was a balusters. 139 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,000 And he goes on to say also that he might establish a law for the 140 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,900 Shepherds and rulers of the church. 141 00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:44,000 Let me say it again, let me read it again that Jesus sitting on a 142 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000 donkey being a white donkey because of his lordship and his 143 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800 kingdom because Kings would ride on those. 144 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:54,500 Our King of Kings is riding on the donkey. 145 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,300 You know, after we've it's ascertained that it was 146 00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,300 humility.

This also that, He might 149 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,600 establish according to Marie.

Those who oppose fasting. 240 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,100 There's the word in the scriptures when they had broken 241 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,300 their fast. Jesus said to Simon, Peter 242 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:20,100 Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these things? 243 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,300 He said to him?
