1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,200
Good morning, everybody. 
It is great to be here together 

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,700
to worship Our God together. 
It's wonderful to have some 

3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,800
visitors with us this morning to
worship with us or thankful. 

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,800
You're here and to praise our 
God as the main priority we have

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,500
today, we've done so in prayer 
in Psalm and now we're going to 

6
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,700
do throat. 
Do so through the study of his 

7
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,800
word together. 
Now as we go through this, I'm 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200
going to confess to you. 
Obviously, I do not have a 

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,000
handle on everything, the Bible 
teaches. 

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,800
I do not have a handle and 
everything, Hebrews teaches 

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,600
Hebrews takes a lot of jogs, a 
lot of tangents, a lot of paths 

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,700
that I'm still trying to process
through. 

13
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,100
So this study this morning, 
through this first half of 

14
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,800
Hebrew of Hebrews, chapter 2 is 
not going to be exhaustive 

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,900
necessarily, but we're going to 
go ahead and study after we 

16
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,000
studied Hebrews 1 the last time 
I spoke. 

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,100
We're going now into Hebrews 
chapter 2. 

18
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:58,100
So we're going to cover verses 1
through 10 of Hebrews chapter 2 

19
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,200
and the kind of the Point that I
want to notice in this 

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,200
introduction is the first main 
point that's made in this 

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,300
section, we must give the more 
Earnest heed to the things we 

22
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:16,800
have heard, lest we drift away 
now, the first part of this 

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,300
second chapter starts out with 
the word. 

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,800
Therefore, so whenever we see 
the word, therefore, we have to 

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,500
go back to see what that word 
is. 

26
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,000
Therefore, so we're going to 
spend a minute here. 

27
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,400
Going back to Hebrews chapter. 
R1 and Hebrews chapter one. 

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,600
Last time we covered it was all 
about drawing. 

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,900
These Hebrew Christians back to 
the faith. 

30
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,400
They're starting to drift, there
are starting to maybe even leave

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,600
the faith because of difficulty,
because of the Messiah has not. 

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Come yet. 
What are we going to do? 

33
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,400
And so there were several 
arguments made the beginning of 

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,700
the chapter, said, God who at 
various times. 

35
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:57,500
And in various ways, spoke in 
time past to the father's. 

36
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,200
By the prophets has in these 
last days spoken to I spy son, 

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,600
then he goes to give a Sevenfold
to fits for the Suns for the 

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,699
sun's credibility, in light of 
the Gospel, in light of the New 

39
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:14,000
Covenant, he calls the son, the 
heir of all things. 

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,900
It says that he made the world's
the he is the brightness of his 

41
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:21,700
or God's glory. 
He is the express image of his 

42
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:24,700
or God's person. 
He is the upholder of all 

43
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,700
things. 
He is the perjure of sins, and 

44
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,000
he has sat down at the right 
hand of the Majesty. 

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,700
Ian. 
Hi, so, how much how Worthy is 

46
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:35,400
this? 
Jesus of serving and following 

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,900
in light of all these things? 
And there is a special 

48
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,400
comparison. 
We talked a lot last week about 

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,100
angels, how great Angels were 
and yet the Hebrew writer says, 

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Jesus Is God, which is much 
greater than the Angels. 

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,700
So in light of this previous 
build up. 

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Now, that's why he's going to 
say therefore at the beginning 

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,600
of Hebrews chapter 2 therefore 
because of all of these reasons 

54
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,400
let's read Hebrews. 2 verses 1 
through 10. 

55
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:07,400
Therefore we must give the more 
Earnest heed to the things we 

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,400
have heard, lest we drift away 
for if the word spoken through 

57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Angels, proved steadfast and 
every transgression and 

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,000
Disobedience, received a just 
reward, how shall we escape if 

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,200
we neglect? 
So great a Salvation which at 

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,800
the first began to be spoken by 
the Lord, was confirmed To Us by

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,300
those who heard him. 
God also bearing witness both 

62
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:34,700
with signs and wonders. 
With various Miracles and Gifts 

63
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,400
of the Holy Spirit. 
According to his own will for he

64
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,000
has not put the world to come 
of, which we speak in subjection

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,900
to Angels. 
But one testified, in a certain 

66
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:48,500
place saying, what is man that 
you are mindful of him or the 

67
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:50,300
son of man that you take care of
him. 

68
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:53,900
You have made him a little lower
than the Angels you have crowned

69
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,300
him with glory and honor and set
him over the works of your 

70
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,500
hands. 
You have put all things in 

71
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,500
subjection under his feet for in
that he put all in Objection 

72
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,100
under him, he left nothing. 
That is not put under him, but 

73
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,000
now we do not yet see all things
put under him. 

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,800
But we see Jesus who was made a 
little lower than the angels for

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,899
the suffering of death. 
Crowned, with Glory and Honor 

76
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:23,400
that he by the grace of God, 
might taste death for everyone. 

77
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,900
For it was fitting for him for 
whom are all things and by whom 

78
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:32,200
are all things in bringing many 
sons to glory to make the 

79
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,500
captain of their Their salvation
perfect through sufferings. 

80
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,400
It is difficult in and a large 
letter with a lot of urgency 

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,300
that we see here to break up 
this into separate sections. 

82
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,700
Like last week, we started right
before therefore so I know I've 

83
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,900
stopped kind of in the middle of
a thought but that's the nature 

84
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:56,300
of reading a letter, we kind of 
have to so Hebrews 2:1 It says 

85
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,900
therefore we must give the more 
Earnest heed to the things we 

86
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:04,400
have heard, lest we drift away. 
That is one of the main points, 

87
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,600
this Riders making at the outset
of the letter. 

88
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,400
So the Hebrew writer, he goes 
through a series of build up 

89
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,300
giving reasoning giving defense 
giving logic and theology for a 

90
00:05:15,308 --> 00:05:17,100
conclusion that he makes. 
And this is his first 

91
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,700
conclusion. 
He says, given more Earnest 

92
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:22,300
heed, we don't we don't say 
that. 

93
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:25,900
One of those words mean, he's 
basically saying Pay More close,

94
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:31,000
attention, give more concerted 
concern, commitment, and Care in

95
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,900
your service to God, draw closer
to these things and you notice 

96
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,900
he gives kind of a relative 
statement. 

97
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,600
He didn't say get to this point 
he says give a more Earnest heed

98
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,000
and that is that's a pattern in 
our Christian lives. 

99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
If we are always going for a 
more earnest Stand a more 

100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,300
Earnest and a more caring 
commitment to serving God we 

101
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,800
will always be better. 
It is a relative standard that 

102
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
we're always pushing to and that
these Hebrews needed to hear 

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,500
less, they not drift away. 
This word drift away, is exactly

104
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,500
what it sounds like it's a 
slipping away. 

105
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,000
It's not a necessarily, an 
intentional thing. 

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,700
But to drift away from anything,
or from the faith, you simply 

107
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:19,300
have to do nothing. 
We know how to be saved. 

108
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:24,400
We know the steps to come to 
salvation, but the path to being

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,200
lost and being away from God is 
a simple process. 

110
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,600
You do absolutely nothing. 
That's what he was concerned 

111
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200
about for them. 
The less they drift away, we're 

112
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,400
going to come back to that a 
little bit more in a second 

113
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,600
verse 24. 
If the word spurt spoken through

114
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,100
Angels, proved Steadfast and 
every transgression and 

115
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,100
Disobedience received. 
A just reward or adjust 

116
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,800
consequence. 
How shall we escape? 

117
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,900
If we neglect. 
So, great a Salvation. 

118
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,000
So he's these Hebrews, he's 
treating them. 

119
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,200
Like they understand the Old 
Testament. 

120
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:04,200
So we've already talked about 
the role of Angels, Angels were 

121
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,700
a vessel through, which God 
provided than the Old Law. 

122
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,200
We receive that in the book of 
Galatians. 

123
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,000
We see that several places in 
Acts where the Angels were the 

124
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400
ones who brought the Old Law who
are kind of helping to bring 

125
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,100
that in. 
So Jesus is bringing in a New 

126
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:22,600
Covenant and he's basically 
saying how shall we escape if we

127
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,200
neglect? 
So great, a Salvation that is in

128
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,000
this new covenant and if the Old
Testament, the word spoken 

129
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
through Angels, that's the Old 
Law. 

130
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:36,700
They knew about it if that 
proves steadfast How much more 

131
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600
basically shall? 
We pay attention to this new law

132
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
brought in by the Son of God 
himself. 

133
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:47,800
Now that statement about the 
Angels, the word of the Angel, 

134
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,600
spoken being steadfast, we're a 
little removed from a lot of 

135
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,700
those events for the Hebrews 
reading this or hearing this 

136
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:56,500
message. 
It would have been very much in 

137
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,700
there and their History, part of
their, what they are grown up 

138
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,900
being taught and our culture 
were taught this. 

139
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,300
All could be gibberish for all, 
we know. 

140
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,000
We're not giving in our culture.
We respect for God's word to 

141
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,600
treat this like actual history. 
The Old Testament is legitimate 

142
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,500
actual history. 
It's corroborated with events. 

143
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,500
We see in other history books 
from other places. 

144
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,200
Now in order to give us maybe a 
more serious perspective on what

145
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,800
they might have thought of, I 
want to take us too. 

146
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,900
The situation was Sodom and 
Gomorrah and the Old Testament. 

147
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,600
So the Hebrew people can trace 
their lineage back to a lot and 

148
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,200
Abraham and in Genesis 13 we can
read about these events. 

149
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,000
So when the Bible says a just 
reward for their Disobedience 

150
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,600
Sodom and Gomorrah is a popular 
example. 

151
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,900
There's some interesting things 
we will note here, we're going 

152
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,300
to be covering this in our Old 
Testament reading next week. 

153
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,800
So I thought it might be fitting
to give this example, Genesis 13

154
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,500
verse 10, You have Abraham and 
lot who are going to claim their

155
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:04,500
lands and it says this and lot, 
lifted his eyes and saw all the 

156
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:09,100
plain of Jordan that it was 
well, watered everywhere before 

157
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,700
the Lloyd before their lord 
destroyed. 

158
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:16,300
Sodom and Gomorrah and it was 
well, watered like the garden of

159
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:20,600
the Lord, like the land of Egypt
as you go towards or lately. 

160
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,300
I've been trying to pick up on 
references, back to the Garden 

161
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:27,800
of Eden. 
And here's one that This Jordan 

162
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,400
plane is referred to often as 
the plane. 

163
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,300
It consists of an area of 
fertile land around the Jordan, 

164
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:38,400
which is kind of around the Dead
Sea now, and it was like the 

165
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,700
garden of the Lord, that's an 
interesting picture here because

166
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,300
Sodom Gomorrah is going to be I 
think you know already is going 

167
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:50,100
to be destroyed but it used to 
be this flourishing land. 

168
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,900
Well watered it was a fertile 
place like the Garden of Eden 

169
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:57,500
but sin came and corrupted and 
tainted that Land. 

170
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,100
Okay, keep that in mind as we go
forward. 

171
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,400
So they cluded they include in 
parentheses and parentheses 

172
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,000
before the Lord destroyed it. 
So, let's go on see what happens

173
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:14,600
in verse 12. 
Of see, this is This is in 

174
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,300
Genesis chapter, 19. 
So we've skipped a few chapters 

175
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:20,900
to see what happens in Sodom and
Gomorrah Genesis chapter 19 

176
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:24,300
beginning of verse 12. 
Then the men said to lat. 

177
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,700
Now, these men, we learn are not
normal men and it tells us in 

178
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,700
some other verses around it. 
These are actually Angels taking

179
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,000
the form of men. 
Okay. 

180
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,700
God does that sometimes then the
men said to Lat, have you anyone

181
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,000
else here? 
Son-in-law your son's, your 

182
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,100
daughters and whomever you have 
in the city, take them out of 

183
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:45,800
this place, we will see next 
When we read about, what do they

184
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,900
do? 
What was so bad in Sodom, but 

185
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,400
it's an out for now, it's 
suffice to say, God is judging 

186
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,000
them, and his angels, as 
Messengers are telling them to 

187
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,800
get out of this place. 
God is going to destroy it. 

188
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Verse the verse 13 for. 
We will destroy this place 

189
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,800
because the outcry against them 
has grown great before the face 

190
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,200
of the Lord and the Lord has 
sent us to destroy it. 

191
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,900
Okay, so that's that's one of 
the clues, you know? 

192
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:16,700
It's angels Verse 14. 
So lot went out and spoke to his

193
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,900
sons-in-law. 
So, his daughters wives, who had

194
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:24,500
married his daughters and said, 
get up, get out of this place 

195
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:30,200
for the Lord, will destroy this 
city, but to his sons-in-law, he

196
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,200
seemed to be joking. 
This is a connection to the, to 

197
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:40,400
the Hebrew writer because The 
Hebrew writers trying to get the

198
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,400
audience to take, what he's 
saying, seriously, he's trying 

199
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,100
to make us pay more close 
attention to the word that was 

200
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,700
spoken because judgment is real,
and this is a common problem. 

201
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:55,300
What son-in-law kind of thought 
he was joking about the Judgment

202
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:59,300
that was coming. 
He didn't take it seriously and 

203
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:03,300
not prove to be deadly for them.
Let's go on verse 15. 

204
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,400
When the morning dawned the 
Angels urged. 

205
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,100
A lot to hurry saying arise, 
take your wife and your two 

206
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,000
daughters, who are here. 
Lest you be consumed in the 

207
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,400
punishment of the city and while
he lingered. 

208
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,900
So he was a little hesitant to 
leave. 

209
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:23,300
The men took hold of his hand. 
Hand, his wife hand, his wife's 

210
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:26,300
hand and the hands of his two 
daughters, the Lord being 

211
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:30,700
merciful to him and they brought
him out and set him outside. 

212
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,700
The city. 
So it came to pass when they had

213
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:38,200
brought them outside that he 
said, Escape for your life. 

214
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,600
Do not look behind you. 
Nor stay anywhere in the plane. 

215
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,700
Remember, this is the Fertile. 
Beautiful. 

216
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,600
Eden, like plain of the Jordan 
escape to the mountains. 

217
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,400
Get away. 
Lest you be destroyed? 

218
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,200
Verse 23. 
So lot tries to reason with him 

219
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,300
asked him to please. 
Save the city and does it happen

220
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800
verse 23? 
The sun had risen upon the earth

221
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:04,800
when lot enters or so that was a
little ways away. 

222
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:10,500
Then the Lord rained Brimstone, 
which is sulfur and fire on 

223
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:13,400
Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur's the 
smell. 

224
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,700
You're going to smell today. 
This evening, when you hear that

225
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:18,700
when you see the fireworks going
off, that smell of the fireworks

226
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:22,300
is like sulfur. 
That might be, what is smelled? 

227
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:26,900
Like, when this is when these 
events happen, the Lord rained 

228
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:32,600
Brimstone and fire on Sodom and 
Gomorrah from the Lord, out of 

229
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,200
the heavens, the word Heavens in
the Old Testament. 

230
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,600
It simply means the sky, there 
is different words translated, 

231
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,900
but the heavens is the fire, and
brimstone is coming from the sky

232
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,200
verse 25. 
So he overthrew those cities, 

233
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,500
all the plane. 
So Several cities around fertile

234
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:56,600
area in the Jordan, all the 
inhabitants of the cities and 

235
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,100
what grew on the ground. 
God's judgment was serious here.

236
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,400
They thought he was joking. 
It was tragic. 

237
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:08,200
This had to have been sad for 
God to see because this is one 

238
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,800
of those places that was like 
the Garden of Eden says, it was 

239
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,900
a beautiful place full of life 
and life bringing water today. 

240
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,400
The Dead Sea is one of the 
saltiest places on the earth. 

241
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:21,500
We're going to get to more of 
that in a minute. 

242
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,800
But now that Dead Sea, is a 
place of death, it's a place of 

243
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,300
Destruction and a place where 
life doesn't grow. 

244
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:31,500
Well, this is all tied back to 
God's Judgment of Sodom. 

245
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,700
It says and what grew on the 
ground. 

246
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,400
So I want to help tie this more 
to our current understanding to.

247
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,000
So we will see the evidence and 
the seriousness of this call, 

248
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,000
there's an article posted in 
2018 based on a study and 

249
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,200
archaeological study that was 
done around the area of the 

250
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,700
Jordan and the Dead Sea. 
And they found some very 

251
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,000
interesting things. 
So this is archaeologists found 

252
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,700
this, according to the papers 
abstract, the scientists 

253
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,300
discovered evidence of a high 
heat explosive Event, north of 

254
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:09,700
the Dead Sea that 
instantaneously devastated, 

255
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:14,700
approximately 500, km2. 
Okay, so this is a this is a 

256
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:17,200
quote from The Times of Israel. 
This is kind of like, you know, 

257
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,900
the the New York Times this 
isn't some like this is a this 

258
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,100
is a legitimate news source and 
there's a bunch of them. 

259
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,900
The explosion would have wiped 
out all civilization in the 

260
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,000
affected area, including middle,
Bronze Age, cities and towns 

261
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Sylvia told science news with 
the blast would have instantly 

262
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,300
killed the estimated 40,000 to 
65,000. 

263
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:42,900
People who inhabited, middle 
Gore a 25. 

264
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,500
Her wide circular plane in 
Georgia. 

265
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Let's go on. 
Likewise the fertile soil would 

266
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,000
have been stripped of the 
nutrients by the high heat and 

267
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,400
the waves of the Dead. 
Sea's. 

268
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,300
Briny, and hydride salts, would 
have tsunami-like washed over 

269
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:05,500
the surrounding area at the same
time, the explosions Fallout or 

270
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:09,800
the the wave, the force. 
I'm not going to describe all 

271
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,300
that because I don't really know
enough, but the force would have

272
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:17,100
caused a blisteringly hot strong
winds, which deposited a rate of

273
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,500
mineral grains. 
Ins which have been found on 

274
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:24,000
Pottery at and this is the 
excavation site tall el-hammam 

275
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,800
is what they're calling the 
excavation site. 

276
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,600
Let's continue on a little more 
five, large sites in the region 

277
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,800
which have also been excavated 
offer additional evidence of an 

278
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,300
immediate end to settlement at 
the same time of the proposed 

279
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,500
tall el-hammam disaster. 
According to Science, News 

280
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:45,100
radiocarbon dating of organic 
archaeological evidence has 

281
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:49,900
shown that structures mud-brick 
walls suddenly disappeared 

282
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,800
around 3,700 years ago, leaving 
only Stone foundations. 

283
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:59,100
This whole article isn't giving 
any definite things, but it 

284
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,800
looks like this might be at the 
site, where the Sodom and 

285
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,099
Gomorrah destruction happened 
contemporary potsherds, glazed 

286
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,500
contemporary potsherds glazes. 
Apparently experience, 

287
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:16,000
temperature is high enough to 
transform them to Glass perhaps 

288
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,400
as hot as the surface of the 
Sun. 

289
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,200
Sylvia told the news source, so 
there's Pottery there, they got 

290
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,099
so hot in it. 
Turn into To glass. 

291
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000
Now the study was born of a 
historical Riddle That the most 

292
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,400
productive agricultural land in 
the region which had supported 

293
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,100
flourishing civilizations 
continuously for at least 3,000 

294
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:42,700
years should suddenly relinquish
then, resist human habitation 

295
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:46,200
for such a long period of time 
has begged investigation. 

296
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,100
That's why they're saying, 
that's the reason we wanted to 

297
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,600
study this. 
You had a flourishing fertile 

298
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,600
land where all civilization seem
to kind of grow out of and then 

299
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,200
it just stopped. 
Why Why based on archaeological 

300
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,200
evidence, it took, at least 600 
years to recover sufficiently 

301
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,900
from the soil, destruction, and 
contamination. 

302
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:09,500
Before civilization could again,
become established and the 

303
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:14,300
Eastern Middle Gore. 
That speaks to when the Bible 

304
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:18,200
says it destroyed all the crops 
and destroyed all of them land. 

305
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:22,000
Maybe this was where that was 
going on verse 26. 

306
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
But his wife looked back behind 
him and she became a pillar of 

307
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,600
salt. 
I don't know if that's 

308
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,400
connection to the Dead Sea. 
Salt content, what happened 

309
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,500
there. 
It's an interesting connection. 

310
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,700
I don't know verse 27 and 
Abraham went early in the 

311
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:38,300
morning to the place where he 
had stood before the Lord then 

312
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,500
you look towards Sodom and 
Gomorrah and toward all the land

313
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,300
of the plain. 
And he saw and behold the smoke 

314
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,500
of the land, which went up like 
the smoke of a furnace. 

315
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,800
And it came to pass. 
When God destroyed the cities of

316
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,900
the, plain, the god remembered 
Abraham and sent lot out of the 

317
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,200
midst of the overthrow when he 
threw over through the cities in

318
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,700
which law had dwelt. 
A place that used to be a land 

319
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800
of life. 
Might look something like this, 

320
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:12,000
a land of death. 
Hebrews chapter 2. 

321
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,000
For if the word spoken through 
Angels, prove steadfast and 

322
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,500
every transgression and 
Disobedience, received a just 

323
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,900
reward, how shall we escape if 
we neglect? 

324
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:27,000
So great a Salvation. 
So we wanted them to see the 

325
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
seriousness of the Old Law and 
judgment, which is what we've 

326
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,900
just gone over an example and 
how we still see the effects of 

327
00:19:33,908 --> 00:19:37,800
that today. 
And it was all about their 

328
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:41,800
drifting. 
They're spiritual drifting. 

329
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:46,700
And he said, how shall we escape
if we neglect? 

330
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:49,600
So great a Salvation. 
So the Bible doesn't say here, 

331
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,400
if you reject, so great, a 
Salvation It doesn't say if we 

332
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,500
outright say, no, I'm not going 
to do that. 

333
00:19:56,500 --> 00:20:00,200
I'm not going to be a Christian.
He says, if we neglect it and 

334
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,100
neglect plays into the idea of 
adrift, That we could buy in 

335
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:10,600
action by a lack of focus on our
spiritual goals by a lack of 

336
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,500
intentional living in God's 
sight. 

337
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,600
We could drift. 
And it's saying that we're not 

338
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,000
going to escape. 
If we neglect this great 

339
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,100
salvation. 
One of the commentators said a 

340
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:31,200
greater word brought by a 
greater person, having greater 

341
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,200
promises than the old law will 
bring a greater condemnation. 

342
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,800
If it is neglected. 
We have a wonderful, wonderful, 

343
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,100
New Covenant, Why in the world 
would we neglect our spiritual 

344
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:49,200
lives in service of it? 
No, it's time for some 

345
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,900
self-evaluation. 
This is something you have to do

346
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:54,200
in your CI. 
Is this speaker have to evaluate

347
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,100
myself? 
I'm we're told in the Bible that

348
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,500
teacher shall be given the 
greater judgment. 

349
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,000
You have the same job in your 
seat. 

350
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,600
Where are you spiritually? 
The Bible uses the term drift 

351
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,300
and when you're on the when 
you're on water as you're 

352
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:10,000
navigating the Seas or the 
Lakes, one of the ways you 

353
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,900
navigate on the water is use 
reference points on land, use 

354
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,500
reference points and so I ask 
you to do that with me. 

355
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:24,000
Where are you, spiritually? 
Where were you five years ago? 

356
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:26,600
Spiritually, compared to where 
you are now? 

357
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:34,600
Are you happy with that? 
Are you are you happy or looking

358
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,500
back? 
Would you have been happy 

359
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,800
looking forward to now with 
where you're at? 

360
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,700
Spiritually knowing as Chris 
talked about a few weeks ago, 

361
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:47,500
knowing the fear of the Lord we 
persuade men, Where are you? 

362
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:48,900
Spiritually. 
Where am I spiritually? 

363
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,300
I have to ask that same 
question. 

364
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:55,400
Where do you want to be in a 
couple years? 

365
00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:00,100
We have to use some goals. 
Sometimes to give ourselves 

366
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:02,700
spiritual Focus to help us 
understand. 

367
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:08,100
Am I just drifting spiritually? 
Am I neglecting my salvation? 

368
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:11,200
What goals, do you have for the 
next five years? 

369
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,600
The next two years. 
Are you growing spiritually? 

370
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,300
Are you giving a more Earnest 
heed to that salvation that 

371
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:23,800
we've been called too? 
Now amidst these conversations 

372
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,500
about the severity and judgment.
I want to make sure I don't give

373
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:29,200
a totally negative picture and 
New Testament. 

374
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,700
In first John chapter 1 verse 7 
we learn the other side of that.

375
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,100
You don't have to live in fear, 
you don't need to live in fear 

376
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:39,800
of the Judgment. 
If you're a Christian and in 

377
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,800
particular is he's in this 
context. 

378
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,300
If you were giving more Earnest,
heed your salvation, you don't 

379
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:49,800
have to live in fear first. 
John 1:7 says, but if we walk in

380
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,000
the light, as he is in the 
light, we have fellowship with 

381
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,500
one another and the blood of 
Jesus Christ, his son cleanses, 

382
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:01,400
a cleanses us from all sin, you 
can take hope in that and 

383
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,800
confidence in that, if you're in
the body of Christ today, not 

384
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,100
just in word, but in lifestyle 
and in commitment and true. 

385
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,200
Focus and obedience. 
That word cleanses is a 

386
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,400
continual process, continually 
cleansing us that even though 

387
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,900
we're going to mess up, it's 
going to happen. 

388
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,500
We have confidence and comfort 
in that chapter 5 verse 13, says

389
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:28,500
these things. 
I've written to you, who believe

390
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:32,300
in the name of the son of God, 
that you may know that you have 

391
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,800
eternal life. 
Now that belief is an active 

392
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,300
belief, right? 
We know that that you may know 

393
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:40,700
that you have eternal life and 
that you may continue to believe

394
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,900
see there. 
So it's not just a one-time 

395
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:45,900
thing that you may continue to 
believe in the name of the son 

396
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:51,800
of God, we have comfort judgment
is serious, but that's why we 

397
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:56,100
Don't have to have fear. 
Now, the points made, I think on

398
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,100
both sides. 
Now, we can move on from that 

399
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:02,800
verse 3 goes on to say. 
So how great shall we escape? 

400
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,400
How shall we escape? 
If we neglect. 

401
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,800
So, great, a Salvation, which at
the first began to be spoken by 

402
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,200
the Lord and was confirmed To Us
by those who heard him. 

403
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,100
God also bearing witness both 
with signs and wonders with 

404
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:18,000
various Miracles and Gifts of 
the Holy Spirit according to his

405
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,800
own will. 
So if we were to to try to 

406
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:24,600
Defend this case. 
He's saying the Lord Jesus. 

407
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:27,000
It was confirmed by those who 
heard him. 

408
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,800
So even some human Witnesses. 
God, the Father also bearing 

409
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Witness Both with signs and 
wonders. 

410
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,300
So he did some serious works and
gifts of the holy spirit. 

411
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,500
So now we have the Holy Spirit, 
the Savior, Jesus, God, the 

412
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:44,700
father and human Witnesses. 
If all this has been confirmed, 

413
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,600
if all this has been seriously, 
portrayed from God himself, 

414
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,100
according to his own, will from 
God himself. 

415
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800
How shall we escape? 
This is what he was saying to 

416
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,500
the Hebrews who might have been 
leaving the faith or drifting 

417
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,400
This word has been delivered by 
God. 

418
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,900
His serious verse 54. 
He has not put the world to come

419
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:11,500
of which we speak in subjection 
to Angels. 

420
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:14,600
So, once again, he's continuing 
to make this comparison to 

421
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,400
Angels, you old law, the Angels 
who delivered it. 

422
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,500
He has not put the world to 
come. 

423
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,300
So this phrase the world to 
come, you know, I kind of 

424
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:28,100
thought that meant though maybe 
after presently. 

425
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:30,200
So where we're sitting right now
the world to come out After 

426
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,100
this. 
Maybe have but actually, he's 

427
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,500
writing to Hebrews, we have to 
remember the audience and since 

428
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:40,600
this is writing to Hebrews for 
them, it has been for a long 

429
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,700
time. 
This world to come the new age 

430
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,500
in which the Messiah would come 
in the church. 

431
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,500
Should be established. 
So for this world to come from 

432
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,800
my studies, seems to be the 
Messianic age or the church age 

433
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,600
in which we live. 
So for he has not put this 

434
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,600
church age, the Messianic age of
which we speak in subjection to 

435
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,100
Two angels, one of the 
commentators from this is the 

436
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:08,100
contending for the faith. 
Commentary read that time period

437
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:11,200
to which the author refers does 
not refer to a future world to 

438
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,400
come. 
Instead he refers to the new 

439
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,300
dispensation the present 
Messianic age. 

440
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,100
So for the Jews it was the world
that have been for so long to 

441
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,600
come. 
Okay, so this is where when I 

442
00:26:23,608 --> 00:26:26,400
was talking a little earlier 
about how I don't have a handle 

443
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,600
on all of this, the next five or
so versus can be a little 

444
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,700
challenging. 
No, we can make the clear points

445
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:38,000
that need to be made. 
It is very clear. 

446
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
That is the applications will 
make from it, but as we dive 

447
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,300
deeper and we dig into these 
verses, there's there's kind of 

448
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:47,400
rabbit holes of questions, you 
might ask. 

449
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:51,800
So I'm going to try to present. 
Clearly what we do know after 

450
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,700
reading these verses so verse 6 
but one testified in a certain 

451
00:26:55,700 --> 00:27:00,500
place and that is in Psalm 8, a 
Psalm of David saying, what is 

452
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:04,000
man that you are Mindful of him 
or the son of man, that you take

453
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,700
care of him. 
You have made him a little lower

454
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:10,000
than the Angels, you have 
crowned him with glory and with 

455
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,500
honor and set him over the works
of your hands. 

456
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:15,600
You have put all things in 
subjection under his feet. 

457
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:19,200
For in that, he put all things 
in subjection under him, he left

458
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,500
nothing that is not put under 
him, okay, so you're starting to

459
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,800
see kind of the difficulty. 
There's a lot of hymns and use 

460
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,200
and he's friend that he put four
in that he put all subjection 

461
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,400
under him. 
He left nothing. 

462
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,500
That is not put under him. 
Yeah, but now we do not yet, see

463
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:37,300
all things put under him. 
But we see Jesus who was made a 

464
00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:40,800
little lower than the angels for
the suffering of death. 

465
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Crowned, with Glory and Honor 
that he by the grace of God, 

466
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,100
might taste death for everyone. 
Okay, so let's work through this

467
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:53,800
piece by piece. 
So this highlighted section is 

468
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,200
what the writer of Hebrews. 
References from the songs. 

469
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,900
Okay. 
So we have that reference there.

470
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:06,000
So he goes on to say after the 
reference So it's let's take a 

471
00:28:06,008 --> 00:28:08,700
piece by piece, what is, man 
that you are mindful of him? 

472
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:11,900
So this is being said by the 
psalmist, David or the son of 

473
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,400
man that you take care of him, 
okay? 

474
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:18,100
So it can apply to all men. 
You have made him a little lower

475
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:22,100
than the Angels you have crowned
him with glory and honor and set

476
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:23,600
him over the works of your 
hands. 

477
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,500
You have put all things in 
subjection under his feet. 

478
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,700
So the whole point of the Hebrew
writer is giving credit to Jesus

479
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,100
So the definite application we 
can make is that he is trying to

480
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,600
use this Prophecy of the Messiah
and connect, connect it to the 

481
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,800
Messiah. 
And we'll see that further as he

482
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,200
gets into this foreign that he 
being God put all in subjection 

483
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,400
under him. 
I believe that. 

484
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,500
Speaking of Jesus he being God 
let nothing that is to be put 

485
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,300
left nothing that is not put 
under him. 

486
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:01,500
So sentence basically said 
everything is going to be put 

487
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:06,000
under the Messiah but now we do 
not yet see all things put under

488
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,900
him. 
But we see Jesus. 

489
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:11,200
Okay. 
So this is the focus who was 

490
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,700
made a little lower than the 
angels for the suffering of 

491
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:16,600
death. 
Crowned, with Glory and Honor 

492
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,600
that he by the grace of God 
might taste death for everyone. 

493
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,900
Okay. 
If in the next few minutes it 

494
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:25,700
gets a little confusing or I 
could present it confusingly. 

495
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,800
The main idea is that he's 
pointing at an age to be subject

496
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,400
to Jesus. 
Not the Angels case objection to

497
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,800
Jesus, not the angels. 
So, what about this phrase? 

498
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,700
We do not yet. 
See, all things put under him. 

499
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,500
Does that mean we can't see yet?
Or does that mean it hasn't 

500
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,200
happened yet? 
It's the ladder. 

501
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,600
And I want to direct our 
attention to First Corinthians 

502
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,400
chapter 15. 
The Bible says then comes the 

503
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,200
end when he delivers the kingdom
to God. 

504
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:58,300
The father has it happened yet 
when he puts an end to all Rule 

505
00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:00,500
and all authority and power has 
it happened? 

506
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:01,900
Yet? 
We still have government's, we 

507
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:04,900
still have a lot of authority 
over us verse 25. 

508
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:10,000
For he, speaking of Jesus must 
Reign until he has put all 

509
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,200
enemies under his feet. 
So Jesus must Reign until God 

510
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,400
has put all enemies under 
Jesus's feet. 

511
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,400
Okay so that hasn't Yet that's 
very similar to what we just 

512
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,700
said in Hebrews 2. 
Okay, so verse 26, The Last 

513
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,700
Enemy that will be destroyed is 
death, that hasn't happened. 

514
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,000
Yet we still will die in the 
world. 

515
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,800
We live in verse 27, for he has 
put all things under his feet. 

516
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:40,200
Okay, that's a quotation but 
when he says all things put 

517
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,400
under him and it's evident that 
he who puts all things under him

518
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,300
is accepted, so everyone, except
for God, the father is going to 

519
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:52,200
be Put under Jesus. 
Yeah, everyone except for God 

520
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,900
the father is going to be put 
under Jesus during this time 

521
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,300
verse 28. 
Now when all things are made 

522
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:02,900
subject to him, then the son 
himself will also be subject to 

523
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:09,000
him, who put all things under 
him that God may be all in all. 

524
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:14,100
Okay, so the point I was trying 
to make from this is that this 

525
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Phrase, we do not yet, see all 
things put under him that's 

526
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,200
because it hasn't happened yet. 
All things have not been put 

527
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:27,400
under under Jesus yet. 
Okay. 

528
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,100
Verse 9, but we see Jesus who 
was made a little lower than the

529
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,500
Angels. 
Okay, let me see. 

530
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,500
For the suffering of death, 
crowned with Glory and Honor 

531
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:42,200
that he by the grace of God 
might taste death for everyone. 

532
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:45,400
Okay. 
When you read this, you can say 

533
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:48,800
is this. 
About man, the psalmist who 

534
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,100
wrote it or is it about Jesus 
and prophecy? 

535
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,600
The interesting thing is there's
parallels, so it's focusing on 

536
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,300
Jesus, but it's all money of 
these. 

537
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:02,400
Things are also hinting back to 
man in the garden. 

538
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,000
His original design and his 
intention. 

539
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,100
Okay? 
So verse 3, this is verse 3 of 

540
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:13,500
Psalm 8, before the first 
reference, that was made. 

541
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:16,200
So we pick up and Hebrews 
saying, what is man that you are

542
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,200
mindful of him? 
Him. 

543
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,800
But in the actual song, I'm 
going to start here in verse 3. 

544
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:24,000
It says David, the psalmist 
writes. 

545
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,000
When I consider your Heavens or 
the skies, the work of your 

546
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,700
fingers, the moon, and the 
stars, which you have ordained. 

547
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,100
This is where we picked up, what
is man that you are mindful of 

548
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,400
him and the son of man that you 
visit him. 

549
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,000
So this is clearly a human 
expressing. 

550
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,100
This right. 
Verse 5 for you have made him a 

551
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:49,400
little lower than the Angels. 
Okay, so we know that is true, 

552
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:55,100
both of Man, and Jesus because 
we are a little lower than the 

553
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,700
angels. 
We are not, we are not Heavenly 

554
00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:01,100
beings, but that's also, true of
Jesus. 

555
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,700
And I think Hebrews is trying to
get us focus on the fact that 

556
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:08,600
this is about Jesus, you made 
him speaking of Jesus, a little 

557
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,700
lower than the Angels while he 
was here on Earth, and you have 

558
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,700
crowned him with Glory and 
Honor. 

559
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:17,600
So this is definitely talking 
about Jesus. 

560
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,600
Jesus has Glory and Honor. 
But that one's a little 

561
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,200
confusing for me when I try to 
apply it to man, in general, 

562
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:29,600
will come back to that. 
So, the third thing he says, is 

563
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,000
that you have made him to have 
dominion over the works of your 

564
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,100
hands. 
Okay, that's definitely true for

565
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,800
Jesus because it talked about, 
he's put all things, he's going 

566
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,800
to put all things in subjection 
under him. 

567
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,400
But what about us? 
Well, in the next verse it says 

568
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,100
you have put all things under 
his feet all sheep and oxen even

569
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,800
the beasts of the field and the 
birds of the air and the fish of

570
00:33:52,808 --> 00:33:57,700
the sea. 
So man, having dominion over the

571
00:33:57,700 --> 00:33:59,700
works. 
Acts of this hands in some ways.

572
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:05,200
It's a parallel to Jesus in that
man was given Dominion on Earth.

573
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,700
That's a privilege. 
We have dominion over animals, 

574
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:11,300
and the ox and all these things,
but it's a greater picture of 

575
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:14,600
Jesus, who is going to have all 
Dominion all power. 

576
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,000
Okay. 
So there are some parallels 

577
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
between Fallen man and the 
perfect man. 

578
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:25,100
The difference is Jesus. 
Never fell. 

579
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,400
And I consider this phrase, you 
have crowned him with Glory and 

580
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:36,600
Honor. 
We read in verse 9 of Hebrews 2,

581
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,500
but we see Jesus who was made a 
little lower than the angels, 

582
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,699
for the suffering of death. 
Crowned, with Glory and Honor. 

583
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,699
Jesus is definitely crowned, 
with Glory and Honor because of 

584
00:34:45,707 --> 00:34:49,500
his suffering for us. 
Okay, what about us, though? 

585
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,199
So, if that's the perfect, man, 
Jesus, what about the Fallen 

586
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:54,900
man? 
Can we read that in light of us?

587
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:03,100
I think verse 10, if there is a 
way verse 10 might have it for, 

588
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:06,700
it was fitting for him. 
Speaking of Jesus for whom are 

589
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:11,700
all things and by whom are all 
things in bringing many sons to 

590
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:14,700
glory to make the captain of 
their salvation. 

591
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:16,800
Perfect through sofa, through 
sufferings. 

592
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,400
So, maybe the way in which we 
have been crowned with Glory and

593
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,100
Honor, if that's it, it because 
we have been brought to Glory by

594
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:29,600
Jesus in his sufferings There's 
parallels between Fallen man and

595
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,200
the song, but it was also a 
prophecy of Jesus, who would be 

596
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,300
made lower than the Angels, who 
would be crowned with glory and 

597
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:40,500
honor and have all things put 
under his feet with never 

598
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:42,000
failing. 
He never failed. 

599
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,500
He never got kicked out of the 
garden because of his sin. 

600
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,800
And lost his his Purity. 
Okay. 

601
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,500
That's where we're going to 
stop. 

602
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:54,500
It's in the middle of the 
chapter, but we've made the 

603
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,900
point that Jesus is greater than
the angels. 

604
00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:00,600
We should listen to that word 
spoken because of the severity 

605
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,900
of judgment, the seriousness of 
judgment. 

606
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,100
But also because of the beauty 
of the Covenant, we can come 

607
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:10,800
into and we see that Jesus is 
great. 

608
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,200
He is crowned with glory and 
honor and he's brought us 

609
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,300
bringing us to Glory. 
If you're not a part of this 

610
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:18,600
Kingdom that he saves. 
Why not. 

611
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,400
Today we've already talked about
the severity of judgment and the

612
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,200
goodness of God and it's a 
simple but difficult process, we

613
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,700
can hear the word as we've 
already started to today believe

614
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:34,200
this word repent of our past 
life changed live God's way and 

615
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,700
confess that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God, be baptized, For the

616
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,800
remission of our sins. 
If you haven't done that, why 

617
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,800
not? 
Why not give them more Earnest. 

618
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,100
Heed to your soul salvation 
today. 

619
