#599- Sunday Service Episode 7 w/Josh Monday

If you would like to check that show out, it's available on YouTube at Josh Monday Music and Podcast and also it's available on audio at Josh Monday Music and or sorry, Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy Podcast anywhere that uh, you know, podcasts can be found any audio. So, uh, yeah, So we've gone over some very important meet of the Bible, you know, the past, uh, the past, uh, you know, six episodes and we're gonna get into some very interesting stuff in this uh parts of the Bible for sure.

And yeah, the Abraham, the Abraham Covenant is what we're going to go over. And also we're going to go over some very important typologies of Abraham with Isaac. Very interesting information there. So we'll kind of get into it first. We're going to start out at Genesis twenty one, Verse one. If you want to follow along. So Isaac is born, so it says, and the Lord visited Sarah as he said, and the Lord did for Sarah as he had spoken for.

Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, and the set time which God had spoken to him, and Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. So let's stop there real quick now. Isaac. Actually the name it means laughter, I'm sure laughing in a way of joy. But also if you go back to Genesis eighteen twelve through fifteen, we already kind of talked, we already went

over this before. But Sarah she laughs at herself, saying, after I am worn out and my Lord is old, shall I have pleasure basically talking, She's kind of lacked when God was telling her that she's going to conceive and bore a child. So that's, you know, part of

the reason why his name is laughter. So yeah, so I want to go over also Romans fifteen, verses four through six, just so we know, like anything that's written here or for learning through patients comfort scriptures that might have so it says for whatever things were written before we're written for our learning that through the patients and comfort of the scriptures, might we have hope now made the God of patience and comfort grant to you like

minded toward one another according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind, one mouth, glorified God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Right. So all it's just telling you there is that you know, everything is written for learning and for a reason. Right, So all this stuff is all written for learning and for a reason. So we're gonna find out, you know, some very interesting stuff here. So also I want to let you know that it took twenty five years for this promise to

be fulfilled for Isaac to be born. So you got to understand. I kind of went over this on other episodes. The older that Isaac and Abraham, I'm sorry Abraham and Sarah became the less faith they had in having a child, you know, because which is understandable. But when God makes a promise and tells you that you're gonna bore a child through Sarah, he is going to fulfill his promise. And Abraham, I'm sure he knew that, but it's just became more and more a parent that his faith became.

It seemed like less and less as they got older, you know, which makes sense because you you know, if you're at the age of ninety, which Sarah was ninety when she had Isaac, you know, can you imagine being a ninety year old woman and having a child. I mean it must have been. First of all, it's spectacular, and it's a miracle, you know, similar to when Jesus was born. You know, Jesus was born through a virgin,

which was a miracle. You know, Isaac was born after she felt like her womb was closed, and she obviously was trying to conceive and believing that she was going to conceive. But the older she got, the tougher it was for her, and so much so that even when the Lord came to Abraham in Genesis eighteen, before they went to some to Megamora, before the two angels with the Sadom Megamorah, the Lord said it again, you know, and she inside laughed, and the Lord kind of checked

her on that, like why are you laughing? And even asked Abraham why was she laughing? And not the same way that Abraham when he fell down and laughed. I think that was more of a playful thing. But I think Sarah laughed like like, huh really, you know, uh, so I think that's very important. So so it's interesting that she calls you know, Isaac laughter. Right, So let's let's continue reading and understand, guys, it's all about faith,

you know. So back then, also understand that they didn't have the Bible to read, they didn't have the Torah to read, they didn't have the Holy Bible to read. So they don't even know the characteristics of God. The only way that they know the characteristics of God is by trusting God, by having faith, and by also the actions of God, you know, And that's what they had. He had a first hand account from God, and he

was able to speak to God. And actually it says that he was able to eat with God, which was so interesting. And we went over that in Genesis eighteen. So let's continue reading here. So we're on Genesis twenty one four. Then Abraham circised circumcised his son Isaac that when he was eight years old, as God had commanded him. Now, Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born. And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, and with all who will laugh with me. She also said,

who would you have said? Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son at his old age. So she's super excited, joyful, happy. You know. In that culture, it's all about having children, boring children. Throughout the Bible, you're going to find people that their womb is closed. They're trying to have children and bore children, and it's hard for them, and they have to pray and pray and pray. We have examples

like Hannah Rachel. We're gonna get a little bit further in the Bible and show you that where people they prayed and prayed and prayed to have children and their womb was closed, you know, and as they pray and they get gathered, we're faith. You know, God was able to open the womb. So something we find out here as we're going through Who gives you the ability to have children? Who blesses you with children? Who forms these children in the womb? God does? Okay, he is able

to control that. That's what the Bible's telling us here. So we got to understand that. So and certain people can't have children for certain reasons and certain things happen, you know. But some people are blessed with the gift of singleness and they're not married. You know. Paul was talking about that in the Bible, that he was blessed with the gift of singleness. Some people are blessed with having many children, some people that I agree with probably

what people do. Think some of them don't deserve it, you know, and they might be doing bad stuff and you know, and things happen, you know, in life. But yeah, we just want to understand that. And now we're going to get into Genesis twenty one some of the drama that unfolds when you go against what God tells you and you end up going with your maiden like Abraham did and then boring a child. You know, this is something that happened in the earlier chapters which you've gone over.

But we see what happens when you don't obey God. You go and listen to your wife and do your own thing by going, you know, becoming one with Hagar and having Ishmael. But he's still you know, as we're gonna read, he still does promise Hagar, you know, through Ishmael blessings as well. So but let's let's read this.

It says Genesis twenty one, verse eight. So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day the same day that Isaac was weaned, and Sarah saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom she had born to Abraham scoffing. All right, let's uh, let's understand this real quick. So when a child weaned back then, what that is is weaning, is weaning off

the breast, right, that's that's when you stop breastfeeding. And understand, back then, some people say that they stop breastfeeding is as late as like twelve, but if you know, when you do deep studies, it looks like it's more like three to five years old. Now, what we got to understand first of all, is that breast milk has so many nutrients and it's super healthy for you. So back then, they were you know, moving city to city, tent to tent.

Some of them were nomads, and you know, in that culture, you stop breastfeeding a lot later than we do now. You know, we see people that stop breastfeeding, you know, at one years old, some children at six years old, but are six months old. I'm sorry, so what happens with them is we have some kind of replacements that

we use, like formula or something like that. See, back then, they couldn't go to Walmart and buy formula, you know, they just they were giving them this breast milk because there's so many nutrients in it and a lot it's a lot more convenient for us now to wean them off of the breast. But you know, even some kids don't even get to breastfeed because some women, you know, it's hard for them to breastfeed, right, so they end

up just doing formula. But you know, we have those replacements nutrients and stuff like that in the formula that they didn't obviously have back then. They couldn't go to Walmart and go buy this. So they would wean like at three to five years old and these and obviously they would actually celebrate this, you know. So and what was happening here is Abraham he made a feast that same day Isaac was weaned, So they we're celebrating the

fact that he's weaning off the breast. Right. And Sarah, she saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian Ishmael scoffing. We could try to you know kind of see what that word means. But scoffing is basically like making fun or or or laughing at the child and kind of making fun of the child, you know, which Sarah obviously is not liking at this moment. It's offending her greatly.

And so what she said to Abraham is cast out this bond woman and her son, for the son of this bond woman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac. And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight because of his son. See, but here's what happens. I think I think there's you know, God's promise is through Isaac. Obviously Jesus comes through the line of Isaac,

very important. And God doesn't want this beef to continue between Sarah and between Hagar, right, so it's causing problems between the you know, for the relationship between Abraham and now Abraham is probably keeping Hagar around, not because he wants to continue to sleep with her or continue to be with her, it seems, but only keeping Hagar around to take care of Ishmael because this is his son

as well. Right. So it's obviously when you have a child, which I have three and I actually have two more on the way. Uh, you know, God willing, I have twins in the oven. You know, my wife is pregnant. So uh, God is great and he does he miss you know, he does miracles and gave us some twins. You know, so I understand how it is. I don't know how it is to have a child with somebody else and then still have my wife. That's you know

that that's happening a lot nowadays. But obviously, uh, you don't see it a lot where you're you're with your wife and then you know the girl that you're with your ex is actually you know, living in the same household. You could see how uncomfortable that would be, you know. So this is what's happening. So obviously there's an ongoing

beef that Sarah had in the very beginning. She didn't she she she gave him permission to go into her, but you could tell right away that there was some jealousy and that she was kind of like, hey, I don't want you to, you know, I don't want you to you know, she didn't want it to happen. She obviously she approved it, and she said it because she

felt like, you know, her faith was going down. But obviously you see here it's starting to bother her now where she's like send them away, And it was hurting Abraham deeply here. But he sought the Lord, you know. It seems like he went to the Lord, and in his old age he's learning to do this a lot more to sought the Lord, you know. So this is what God said to Abraham, it says, but God said to Abraham, do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad Ishmael or because of your

bond woman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac your seed shall be called. Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bond woman, because he is your seed. So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and skin of water, putting it on her shoulder. He gave it and the boy to Hagar and sent her away. Then she departed, wandering in the wilderness of Bersheba. So that's what's happening here. Let's go and check out something

real quick that is interesting about this situation. First of all, you guys could imagine your son, you sending your son off like that. It's really, it would be really hard to do that, obviously, because I think they said he was a teenager at this point. So Abraham loved Ishmael as well, and Abraham love Isaac, Isaac through Sarah. With Sarah, he loved so much. But do you really want this

kind of fighting and stuff happening there between him? But this is a very interesting passage even it's used by Paul and in illustration of Christians that you know, kind of the illustration is that legalistic Christians that are in bondage compared to the Christians that are free in faith.

So let's go ahead and read that Real Quick escalationis for twenty two through thirty one, and he uses this scenario to kind of explain people that are in bondage compared to like a free, free person that's in faith, you know, full of grace. So listen it says, for it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bond woman and the other by a free woman.

But he is but he was on the But he who was of the bond woman was born according to the flesh, and he of the free women through promise, which things are symbolic, for there are two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar. For Hagar is in Mount Sinai and Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem, which now is and is in

bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of all of us all, for it is written, rejoice, oh barn you who do not bear, break forth, And shall you who are in labor not in labor. For the desolate that has many children, then she who has a husband. Now we are brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise, as he was born

according to the flesh. Then persecuted him who was born according to the spirit, So saying basically that Isaac was born according to the spirit, obviously because God was involved, and you know, it's a miracle. The other one was born according to the flesh, right according to Abraham, going against God. Not like God told them not to do that. But obviously they made that plan themselves, and they went according to the flesh instead of according to the spirit.

Even it is so. Now, nevertheless, what does the scripture say, cast out the bond woman and her son, For the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then brethren, we are are we not children of the bond woman, but of the free right. So we got to understand that we are actually free of bond slavery, and we know we're in grace, but we got to understand though there's

some there's definitely some things there. I want to bring that up because that's the he uses this story in particular to kind of go over that subject. But what we got to understand is, if you look at James, faith is dead without works, right. So we'll get into that later in the New Testament. But you know, so we got to make sure that we got to kind of define what faith is there. You know, we are saved by grace through faith, but we got to define

what faith is. Is faith just believing, Yeah, that's what it's says in John three sixteen, but also in James, it says that faith is dead without works, right, So we got to make sure. I'm not saying that we're saved by works. It says that we're not saved by works. No man shall boast. But what I am telling you is that you got to be a disciple, and you

got to, you know, there's a lots to it. So obviously, right now, this is just the foundation we're building for you guys as we're going through the Word of God.

But what I like to do is when I find something that matches the stories that I'm going over and matches certain things, I like to go up to the New Testament and show you guys when they're using these type of examples, so that you can see why I'm going through the Book of Genesis and why I'm going to try to go through the Old Testament before we get to the New Testament, right, because there's some important stuff here, and there's a foundation being laid for whom

for Jesus when he comes right and this is an example of that. You see that good still comes out of evil, right evil, you know, being Abraham going and hooking up with Hagar and having Hagar have Ishmael and Ishmael, there's still twelve kings that come out of him and all these nations come out of him as well. So there's some good that comes out of evil, you know.

So let's continue reading here. It says that then she departed and wandered Hagar into the wilderness of Beersheba, and the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs. Then she went and sat across from him, at a distance of about a bow shop. First she said to herself, let me not see the death of the boy. So she sat opposite of him and lifted her voice and wept.

Another thing we got to understand here is the angel of the Lord came to Hagar when she first got sent out, when and Sarah sent her out the first time and told her that many nations will come through is Ishmael. So there was a promise there. He said, I, you know, will make your descendants as much as the stars. Right, so there was already a promise back then. Hagar has gone through fifteen years. Maybe I don't know how old he was at the time. Some people say he was

fifteen at this time. Sixteen. Maybe she forgot about that promise because right here she is thinking that the boy's gonna die. All Abraham gave her was the water and you know enough, you know, some bread. He could have given her so much more, but he sent her off

with this amount. Obviously, I think, you know, this is just me speculating, and that he didn't want to get Sarah mad and try to show favor to her and give her, So what he did is he just gave her through faith and bread, knowing that his descendants will be many, so obviously he's going to live through this. So he gave her the amount that he felt and sent them on their way. And obviously they're going through the desert. Water is scarce, and they used up all

their water, and she is now weeping, crying. Now God has obviously seen everything that she's been through. She was a servant, an Egyptian servant to Abraham and Sarah and been with them for a long time. She was just serving them, and then she ended up Abraham ended up going into her having Ishmael, and she was probably taking care of Ishmael, probably a good mom, doing her thing, and then Sarah all of a sudden said, hey, you know what, send them away. So now she's in an

I feel bad for this woman. Now she's in a position where she's in the desert. They're out of water, you know, they're probably out of food, and they're just like, she's crying out to the Lord, not want to see my son die. So they go a bow shot away, and she's crying out and who hears her? And God heard the voice of the lad. So she was weeping. But obviously Ishmael was probably like praying, God, if you're real, you know, I need you, you know. So God heard

the voice of the lad Ishmael. Then the Angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said to her, what ails you? Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is a rise, Lift up the lad, Hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation. So now once again we got that promise coming back. And this is the Angel of God. So this is really interesting. It doesn't say an angel a n it says the Angel of God. There's also an the Bible the angel of

the Lord. I think this is interesting. And he's also speaking from heaven. I always have to tell you guys certain things. How is he speaking from heaven on this heliocentric model where heaven is further and further ever expanding away. He's speaking from heaven because God's throne is located above the firmament. Speaking from heaven down to the earth. This is no problem on the model I've taught you guys, go back to the very first episode and you will

see very interesting. So then God opened her eyes and saw a well, and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled the skin with the water and gave the lad a drink. So God was with the lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness and became an archer. He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. So we don't know if this well was then, and he just led her to the well. We don't know if this is supernaturally put by God,

but somehow that well was. She saw the well and they got to drink, filled the wine skin and gave the lad a drink. And that that's what they need in the desert. When you're walking through the desert, just you know you're feeling like you're about to die. Well, God provided, right. God promised already in earlier chapters that he was gonna have many as much as the stars, just like he promised Abraham that he was descendants will be as much as the stars. Said the same thing.

The Angel of the Lord said this to Hagar, So he's keeping his promise. That's what we're seeing here a lot and in these chapters is God is keeping his promise. Now. Obviously, if you feel like, hey, God has taken to way too much time, we're not. God is not on our watch. He's on his own watch, and he has his own plan, he has his own will, and he's gonna let it be done. But if he makes you a promise, obviously

it's gonna be fulfilled, you know. And we see that here. Now, sometimes us humans we forget, We just go, hey, you know what, I know, he might have promised me this, Like you know, Abraham and Sarah they kind of just you know, start laughing and giggling at the fact that God promised them twenty five years ago. Look they have Isaac, and look at this. They're in the desert. They're about to die of thirst. And what happens, God delivers. God's

promise comes through again and it's very interesting. So, you know, and later on we'll hear about his descendants Ishmael, but we don't really hear anymore where Abraham and Ishmael get back together and talk or speak. Now, who knows what happened, But it's not biblically written that you don't see them get back together and talk or anything like that, or Hagar and Abraham talking. In any way, we do find out who who what descendants come through Ishmael's line, which

is very important. You know, a covenant with Abimelech. And it came to pass that at the time that Abimelech and and Ficole, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham saying, God is with you and all that you do. Now, therefore, swear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have done to you, that you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt. And Abraham said, I swear,

I will swear. Then Abraham rebuked to Bimlic because of a well of water which a Bimlik servants had seized. So let's stop there. They're in the desert. You know, this is so important. Water is vastly important. It's something that we actually take for granted. We get in America, not saying in other countries. Some countries they don't take it for granted because they don't get you know, they

don't get the water that we get. But I work for the water industry, you know, I work for a water company, and we definitely do take it for granted. I see what goes on behind the scenes to deliver this water, and there is a lot of infrastructure and things that need to be taken care for this water to be delivered. But this is right here. You see that Abraham rebuke to Bimleck because of a well of water. So excuse me, And abim Malek said, I do not know who has done this thing. You do not tell me,

nor had I hurt it until today. A Bimlek is a king. One of his servants is having a dispute with Abraham about a well. Looks like they try to take it from him, and Abraham is bringing us to his attention, and at bim Malik is like, hey, you know what, I'm busy with all this other stuff going on. I didn't realize this happened, But now that you brought it to my attention, I will take care of it.

So Abraham took two sheep and oxen and gave them to a Bimelek, and the two of them made a covenant, and covenant is basically two people coming together and making that covenant. And let's read this. It says in Abraham set seven ooh lambs of the flock by themselves. Then a Biboleic asked Abraham, what is the meaning of the seven uh lambs which you have set themselves? And he said, you will take these seven uh lambs from my hand, and they may be my witnesses that I have dug

this well. Therefore he called that place Bersheba, because the two of them swore an oath there. Thus they made a covenant in Bersheba. So Bimelek rose with Ficole, the commander of the army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines. Then Abraham planted a tamaris tree in Bersheba, and there called on the name of the Lord and the Everlasting God. And Abraham stayed in the land of the phili Sin's many days, all right, So I think

that's super interesting. Ishmael cried out to God, Abraham, yep, okay, here we go. So I kind of went over that whole thing. I think that was a pretty cool little chapter, the chapter twenty one, And now we're gonna get into some really interesting stuff in chapter twenty two. Here, this is a very very interesting chapter right here. Okay, guys, this is Abraham's faith confirmed, all right, before we go into this chapter. Actually, we'll read the chapter first and

then I will go into the hall of faith. You know, there's a bunch of names mentioned in the Book of Hebrews talking about how this faith is you know, is been tested him and just shows all the faith that all these these gentlemen had in the Bible. And I like to go over that. But let's read this Genesis twenty two. It says, now, but came to past after these things, that God tested Abraham and said to him, Abraham,

and he said, here I am he said. Then he said, haeik, now your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mariah and offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains in which I shall tell you. All right. So, now this is just something very very interesting because God he hates human sacrifice. Okay, he hates human sacrifice. There's a you know, if you look in the Bible. Later on in the

later chapters, we're going to go over these things. But Moloch was a god that they used to, you know, put a fire and they would take children and put them on the fire. There was a lot of stuff going to bail, human sacrifice offering to bail. Nowadays you see satanic richul abuse and and things like that happening behind the scenes where people are being sacrificed. We have even if you go to Bohemian Grove, they do mock sacrifices. They say, mock. Who knows if it is or not.

But also if you go to some videos of Cern, I've seen the one video of Cern where they were in front of Cern next to that destroyer Shiba, and they were doing a mock sacrifice. So maybe it's real. I don't know, mock sacrifice, who knows, But it's things that happen now. But what we have to understand, do you guys understand this whole thing right here? I want to show you real quick before God hates human sacrifice.

Let's look at Leviticus twenty verses one through five, so I can kind of show you guys that then the Lord spoke to Moses saying again, you shall say to the children of Israel, whoever of the children of Israel or the strangers who dwell in Israel. Who gives any of the descendants to Moloch, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him

with stones. I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Moloch to defile my sanctuary and profane my holy name. And if the people of the land should in any way hide their eyes from the man, then he gives of his descendants to Moloch and they do not kill him, then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and I will cut him off from his people, who

prostitute themselves with him, and commit all the tree with Moloch. Okay, So we got to understand. And so this is a test for Abraham, a true test. Right, This is a test Abraham's faith. Did he need it? Okay? I was just trying to read my notes, Sarah, So listen, this is this is the chapter is called Abraham's Faith confirmed. That's what it says here in my Bible. Right. So got to understand, Like I said before, Abraham and Sarah don't have the Holy Bible to read to find out

the character of God. They have a first hand account of God. And what happened is he promised that Isaac would have descendants, right, and it's going to be many as many as the stars. Right, So we got to understand this. Abraham a covenant or promise. Abraham already knows that God has promised him this, and Abraham already delivered Isaac already to him, telling him that Sarah would have

Isaac at old age, and it already happened. So at this point Abraham's faith is strong and he acts a little different now, so much so that soon as God told him this, you need to take your son bring him up on the land of Mariah, which, let me tell you, guys, this very interesting. If you go into it, it'd be Jerusalem and the highest mountain would actually be go Gotha. So this is traditionally they say Mariah is where the temple was built, and the highest land is

go Gotha. What's actually where Jesus was crucified, right, So I think this is very interesting. Traditionally, right, they say that that Mariah is where the is where the temple was right, So, and the highest mountain would be go Gotha,

where Jesus was crucified. So now we have Abraham kind of being in the position of God the Father, and Isaac being in the position of Jesus Christ right here right, So we have Abraham, a human being, going to take his They say, he says, your only son, whom you love. Which I need you guys to understand that this is the first because we've already gone from Genesis one all the way to Genesis twenty two. We've already read through all that in the other episodes, and you don't ever

see the word love. This is the first time the word love appears. And when something appears for the first time, then it's always important. Okay, this is God knows that Abraham, he he is old age, he had this child. He waited twenty five years for this promise the Russea, which whom he loved. This woman, she was beautiful even in her old age, so much that he was lying for, you know, to tell all these kings and pharaohs about her so that they don't take her. But listen, he

loved his son. Same thing in the New Testament, where God the Father loves Jesus like he's gonna give his only be got well, Actually he loved the world, so he gave his only begotten son, for whoever believed him shall not perish, or should not perish, but have everlasting life. Wow, now we have this a typology happening in the Old Testament everythudevery the Old Testament. There's all these This is

foundations set up for the New Testament. This is a foundation set up through Abraham to just this is prophetic stuff that's gonna happen here. That this is prophetic. You're gonna see as I go through this. So he tells him to take your son, Isaac, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mariah and offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, of which I shall tell you. Choose that mountain, because that's where Jesus is going to be crucified. This

is why he's gonna lead you to that mountain. So Abraham rose up early in the morning. No longer is he not listening to the Lord. But he has so much faith that morning he woke up and said, here we go, let's go. We're gonna go ahead and go up here. He has faith that God is gonna still bring these descendants to Isaac. So either he's gonna have to kill his son as this altar and God's gonna raise him from the dead, or God is gonna do some type of mirac this miracle or its or he's

not gonna end up having to do this. He knows. So, so Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and he split the wood from the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place in which God had told him. Then on the third day, very interesting, the third day. There's a lot of third days.

If you go through the Bible and kind of look at all the threes of the the third day, or Jesus rose again on the third day, you'll see, you know, you could do a Bible study and all the all this third day stuff. So on the third day, Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place so far off, and Abraham said to his young men, stay here with the donkey the lad, and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you. So he's telling

his servant, stay here with the donkey the lad. Isaac and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you. So he is declaring that he is going to come back with Isaac. He knows he's going to come back with Isaac. So Abraham took the wood and burnt offering and laid it on his son, Isaac. So he's got the wood, and Isaac is carrying that wood up the mountain. Who else carried the wood up the mountain? Who else carried it? Jesus he carried the cross, right,

So this is a typology completely. Isaac, he's carrying the wood which he's going to go up that mountain. Jesus carried the cross up to that mountain. You knew he was going to die on sacrifice himself for our sins. So Abraham took the wood of the burno offering and laid it on Isaac's son, and he took the fire in his hand and a knife, and the two of

them went together. If you look at that burst, if you look at that burst, when it says that two of them went together, in a little bit further down, it means that the two of them went in agreement. It says, but Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said my father. And he said, here I am my son. Then he said, look the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb of a burnt offering? And Abraham and said, my son, God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering. So the two of them

went together or went in agreement. That's what's really interesting. They both went in agreement. And also he says, Abraham said, my son, God will provide for him instead of saying for himself. And then and then in the King James, let's read that really quick. And the King James, uh, let's see what it says my father and here I am my son. Behold the firing lamb and God, God said, God will provide. It says God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. Right, doesn't say for himself.

I think in the New King James, that's a bad translation. God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. That's prophetic right there. That is prophecy that God will provide himself a lamb instead of not for himself, but will provide himself a lamb. So let's go back to the the New King James, and I read out of the New King James. Uh, and I will try to point these things out about the King James. The reason why I read out of the New King James. I'm

just gonna let you guys know. It's just it's it flows better for me because I'm reading the Bible to you guys, and it's it's when I read the New when I read the King James, I can read it and and you know, but uh, sometimes it's a little choppy for me. So I'll go back when I see certain things that aren't in the in the in the King James as best as I can. So let's go back to this. So Rose early. Okay, here I am son, and my son God will provide for himself the lamb

for a burnt offering. So the two of them went together. Then they came to the place in which God had told them. And God and Abraham built an authar there and an altar there, and placed the wood in order. And he bound Isaac, his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. So you can imagine him if you're watching on a Patreoni ski. You could see what I'm saying. You can imagine him

just going up like this with the knife. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. All right, so let's stop there real quick. Wow, Isaac the son that he loved, and it says his only son. That is not true because what about Ishmael. But God is only recognizing Isaac because of his promise through Abraham. Right, he was the son that was built, I mean, that was born through God. He's the promised one. He is the one that was that was that's recognized

here as this only begotten son. You know, kind of the same type of language that God uses for Jesus. So interesting. You kind of see a lot of ways that that there's connections between, you know, typology of Christ and Isaac. Really interesting. And Abraham stretched out his hand took the knife to slay his son. But the Angel of the Lord steps in again, called to him from heaven and said Abraham, Abraham. So we said, here I am. He said, do not lay your hand on the lad

or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son your only son from me, all right? So what do we have here? We have the Angel of the Lord, capital a the Messenger of the Lord. Some people believe and even me, I do believe that the Angel of the Lord is Jesus in the Old Testament, a Christophany. Here we have the angel or the messenger of the Lord. I'm not saying that Jesus is an angel. Don't take it that way. But that word angel doesn't mean angel

like with the wings like he got in the background. Here. What that word means. It means messenger. Right, my whole screen is like you see that. It's like basically it's like too, like a fallen angel fighting against an angel. That's what this Josh Bunday Christian conspiracy podcast logo is. But this is so interesting. But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, Abraham, Abraham, so listen

once again, calling from heaven. But the Angel of the Lord, I believe it's a Christophany, is witnessing a man, not Jesus, who's you know, I believe is God dying on the cross, but a man about to do this the same thing that's gonna happen in the New Testament later on where God sends has only begotten son to die for our sins. This is so interesting that the Angel of the Lord shows up, the messenger of the Lord, the Word of

the Lord called out to him for Abraham. Abraham, so he said, here I am, And he said, do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. So by this point Abraham's faith is built so much because God has, you know, fulfilled his promises with him. He knows that God is going to fulfill his promise.

I believe that Abraham, by faith knew that even if he did kill his son Isaac right here, that God is going to raise him from the dead or somehow God's promise is going to be fulfilled. Now, what we have to understand is God. He must have known the voice of God. He must have known when he speaks to God. He must know that more than now. Now, I hear a lot of people try to say, I heard the voice of the Lord and glory God told me to do this, and God said I need to

do this, and you know, I don't know. I don't I've never had God speak to me like how he's speaking Abraham here. But man, he must have known the voice of the Lord, because you know, there is a devil, you know what I mean? And think about it. What if the devil was telling him to do this? You know what I mean? He obviously has so much faith in God that he knew that God was the one testing him here, testing his faith? What kind of tests?

What kind of faith? Uh? You know is uh? You know your faith can't be can't be trusted if it can't be tested. That's pretty much what I wanted to say there. And keep in mind that Abraham didn't have a Bible learn about God. He only trusted him from his experiences. Like I was saying earlier, he trusted God so much in this situation that I kind of want to tell you something real quick. Listen to James one, two, and then fourth through eight says, my brother encountered all

the joy when you fall into various trials. But let patience have its perfect work. Let that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, then let God. Then let him ask of God, who gives to us liberally and without reapproach and to be given him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting. For he who doubts as like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed in the wind. For not, for let not that man supposed that he will receive anything from

the Lord. He is double minded, a man unstable in all ways. So I'm just talking about the faith aspect of asking God. And then I also wanted to read some more stuff to you guys about this scenario, and let's read. Let's read about faith really quick, the Hall of Faith, right, I kind of want to go like a It's like, instead of Hall of Fame, it's the Hall of Faith. And I just want to read real quick Hebrews eleven if you guys want to turn there,

Hebrews eleven one through forty. I know it's a long bit to read, but I kind of want to go over this. It's very important we're save by grace through faith. All these people that I'm mentioning here have faith in. Abraham is mentioned here, and so is Isaac. Okay, Abraham and Isaac. This whole scenario is mentioned here. You'll catch it as I'm reading. But there's also a lot of other men of faith that are mentioned here. So I think it's interesting. So now faith is the substance of

things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elder obtained a good testimony. By faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. Very interesting. God spoke and things existed, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith, Able offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, to which he obtained witness that he was righteous God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he, being dead, still speaks by faith.

Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and he was not found because of God had taken him. For before he was taken he had this testimony that he pleased God. But without faith, it is impossible to please him or please God. Right without faith, it is impossible to please God. For he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is the

rewarder of those who diligently seek him by faith. Noah, being divinely warned of things not seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an arc for saving his household by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which he according to faith. By faith, Abraham, here we go obeyed when he was called to go to the place which he would receive as an inheritance, and he went out,

not knowing where he was going. By faith, he dwelt in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling intents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs by whom of whom the same promise. For he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith. Sarah herself also received strength to conceive a seed, and she bore a child when she was age, because

she judged him faithful, whom he had promised. Therefore, one man and him as good as dead, were born, as many of the stars and the sky, in multitude innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them, and confessed that there were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For those who say things declare plainly that they seek a homeland, and truly, if they had called to mind the country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better that is, a heavenly country, which is awesome. Therefore, God is not a shame to be called their god, for he has prepared a city for them by faith. Going back now to Abraham, by faith, Abraham, when he

was tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promise that offered up his only begotten son, whom it was said, and Isaac, your siege shall be called, concluded that God was able to raise him up even from the dead, from which the also received him in a figurative sense. By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come by faith. Jacob, when he was dying, bless each one of the sons, Joseph and worship leaning

on the top of his staff by faith. Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of children of Israel, and gave instruction concerning his bones by faith. Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months in the parents by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the King's command.

Excuse me, I'm sorry about that command. By faith, Moses, when he became an age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing's pleasure of sin, estimating the reapproach of Christ's greater riches and the treasure of Egypt, for he looked to the reward by faith, he forsook Egypt by fearing the wrath of

the king, he endured as seeing him as invisible. By faith, he kept the passover and sprinkling of the blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith, they passed through this red seeds as dry a land, whereas the Egyptians attempted to do so. Where he drowned by faith. The walls of Jericho fell down after they encircled for seven days. By faith, the harle that Rahab did not perish with those who did not receive, and

she had received the spies with peace. And I shall say, for the time fail me to tell him of Gibeon and Barack, Samson and Jacob, also David and Samuel, and the prophets whom, through faith the duke Kingdom's work. Righteousness of taint promises stopped, the mouth of lions quenched, the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the out of the weakness, were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to the flight of the armies and aliens. Who received

army of the aliens. That's really interesting. Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not according to deliverance that might obtain better as resurrections. Still others had trial, mocking scourgings. Yes, of the chains of imprisonment. They were stoned, and son and two were tempted and slain by the sword. So I just want to tell you guys that it says that being desolate, afflicted, tormented, of whom the world is worthy. They wandered in deserts

and mountains and dens and caves and the earth. All these things that were obtained and good testamentmony through faith. Did not receive the promise God having provided something better for us, They should not be made perfect apart from us. I read all that stuff just so you guys know that this is all by faith and in this life we live now. Man Moses was our sorry Abraham was so faithful in obedience that he took his son that

he loved up on the mountain. What I want to tell you, guys is I you know, I love my daughters so much. You know, once you have children, as you guys know that this story touches me in a different way now because before when I read this, when I didn't have children, I would be like, Okay, well he's taking his son up and well sounds good. Whatever it's it's it's like it's it's not as meaningful as

when you have children. And you know, and if you don't have a child and you read this, just understand that you can you can imagine the love that he had for Isaac and for God to tell him to do this, He must have so much faith and obedience

for him to take him up on this mountain. And I just think that we need to understand that these these types of scenarios are are are so important for us to understand the faith which was so important for us to have, but also to understand the obedience that Abraham had that he went that morning, he took his son up there, knowing that God's going to provide and did all this stuff obedience. You know, something that we

as Christians need to pray for. I think it's so important, me and myself included, geez, I try to pray to

God for obedience. It's it's hard for some people in this life that are Christians and to even abstain from you know, from drinking, or abstain from smoking cigarettes, or abstain from watching pornography, or abstain from doing drugs, or abstain from going to clubs and hooking up with a bunch of women, or abstain from sexual pleasures or or or abstain from you know, just anything that we have because because everything is so readily available, it's hard for

us right now. But obedience is so important that we see this and this is the lesson that we should understand. First of all, we need to have a lesson in faith here that he is so faithful to God that he's going to bring his son, which he loves, up to that mountain knowing that God will provide. But also what we need to understand here is God is going to do this later with his son Jesus for us, and he's actually watching a human being have so much faith.

I mean, it had to make God smile. I don't know, doesn't say that God smiled, But I just think that I think that Jesus seeing this, you know, because I believe that Jesus saw this as well, saying a human being acting out the same thing that's going to happen later on. It's just crazy, these typologies that happen in the Bible that we need to learn from. But one thing we need to learn from as Christians and in human beings, right here is the obedience of Abraham, the

faith of Abraham. Right That's why I was reading that, all of faith, all these different stories in the Bible which we will get to, we will learn from. Okay, so let's continue reading Genesis twenty two. Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horn. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son a ram er.

I thought he was going to provide a lamb. He says, God himself will provide a lamb, But no, he provided a ram. Is Abraham a liar? No? When he said that statement, that is prophetic? Who is the lamb, God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ, that's the lamb. But he does provide here in this scenario a ram, which I thought was very interesting. I do believe that the reason why he provided the ram is because that prophetic that he's going to provide a lamb. It makes you think,

what do you mean that he's gonna provide a lamb? Well, and Jesus is written in every page of the Old Testament, okay, and we see it right here. Who is that lamb? That is Jesus, right, that is Yrshu of the Missiak, the Messiah. That's who that lamb is. But he does give him a ram, right, and he's caught in the

thicket by his horn. So Abraham went and took the ram, offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son Isaac, who sweat off your brow right there then, and Abraham called the name of the place the Lord will provide. And it is said to this day in the mount of the Lord, it shall be provided. In the mount of the Lord, it shall be provided. The Lord shall provide. Yes, Amen, God does provide. What does he provide for us? Not only does he provide this ram,

instead of Isaac. Thank God he provided that ram, because if he would have killed Isaac and Isaac would have not lived, then obviously the to say, will not you know, the Messiah will not be born. But no, God provided and God fulfilled his promise, and he provided that ram. And this is what he calls that mountain and the

mount of the Lord. It shall be provided. And the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, by myself, I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, Blessings that will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply your descendants.

Hold on, whoa, whoa, whoe. The Angel of the Lord called the Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, by myself, I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, Blessings that will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sandwich of the seashore. And your descendants

shall possessed the gait of their enemies. Understand that that's really really interesting that the Angel of the Lord, or the Word or the messenger of the Lord called the Abraham a second time out of heaven. Where's heaven located, It's up. Where's hell located, It's down. He's calling out of heaven. And this is the Angel capital A. Not that Jesus is an angel, but Jesus is the messenger or Jesus is the Word of the Lord. By myself, I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done

this thing, you know, so understand that. And it's really interesting that he says, blessings, I will bless you multiplying. I will multiply. So the Angel the Lord saying, I will do this. Wow in your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice. So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Berceeba, and Abraham dwelt in Bersheba. Genesis well twenty two to nineteen. Let's go

to that really quick, Genesis twenty two. Genesis twenty two. I just kind of like to do this sometimes. Nineteen. What does Bersheba mean? I think it means covenant. Let's see what that means, oh, well, of the sevenfold Oah is what Bersheba means. So yeah, I think that's interesting, right there, anything else obeyed? My voice sown a second time. Let's see what does it say together? Excuse me, mountains the I want to just look at that word together

real quick. Both of them went together, and just want to point out that I believe that means in agreement, union all together alike. Yeah, so it's in agreement. So here we go. Let's continue reading. We're in Genesis twenty two, verse twenty. That whole lesson right there was just amazing. Like I said, it's all about obedience and all about faith. So let's continue to read. The Family of Nahar is

what the title is. Now. It came to pass after these things that it was told abrahams saying, indeed, Malak also was born children to your firstborn Nahara, who is his firstborn, Buzz, his brother Camille, the father of Aaron, chest Hazo, phil Dash, Jefflapp, Mathiel, and maule Begat Rebecca. These eight Malachaia boor to noahor Abraham's brother. His concubine whose name was Ramu, also bore Toba Kaham Tosh and macab So we're hold this because bethle begat Rebecca. This

is just showing you Abraham's brother. So this is a just telling you about Rebecca, which is gonna come in a little bit here. Uh, just wanted to They wanted to just tell you that because later you know, it's gonna later on in the story. So I think that's really cool that they let us know that. So Sarah's death and burial were on Genesis twenty three. Okay, yes, Uh, this is Sarah whom Abraham loved. He loved this woman.

This was his woman. He was with her for a long time, going through all this stuff, God's promises, sadaminga moura, them moving, them, going here, them him knowing his descendants are coming through. They've gone through all this with Hagar. But all this stuff they went through, we get to see all of it. This is obviously a very important woman in the Bible because we get to see it. Talks about her death and her burial and her funeral. We don't see that with the other women in the Bible.

This is the only woman we get to see. We get to hear about her burial, which I think is She's an important figure in the Bible, an important vessel, I would say, used by God, right, used by God to show faith, to have the Abraham and Covenant, to have Isaac. So let's read here. It says Sarah lived one hundred and twenty seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah. So Sarah died in Kadrath Arabah,

that is, hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. You know, I've never had a wife die before. One thing that they should appreciate back then is look how long they got to live. Look at everything they went through. But obviously Abraham loved this woman and he wept for her. He cried, And this is the land of Hayburn. So let's we're in Genesis twenty three. Let's see if I have any good notes on this whole thing right here.

What I do, guys, I just want to be honest with you guys, and tell you, guys, my whole thing is I tried to every single chapter that I go through. I'm literally trying to find all these nuggets and whatever I could find for you guys, and I'm doing studies throughout the week. Now. Not only is this blessing you guys, I hope, I pray that is blessing you guys with information on the Bible and blessing you with faith, and blessing you with obedience, and blessing you with everything He

needs to bless you with. God is blessing you, not me. I'm just a man. But it's also blessing me because I'm able to read through the Bible. Now. I've always said on my podcast, Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy Podcast, said I love the Bible, and I love to teach the Bible, and I love to go through the Bible. And you know what, it's something that this show is completely engulfing me into the Word. And I am so appreciative of

God for giving me this opportunity. And also I'm appreciative of Jonathan Jacob and I mentioned Julia too because she's also in the program. But I'm very appreciative that God had these gentlemen ask me to do this because it's helping me to go verse by verse, word by word through the Bible. And I think it's so important for everybody that's listening, and important for myself as well, included for me to learn the Bible. God said, hey, you

love the Bible. I'm just thinking this speculating that God was just like, you love the Bible so much, Well, then teach it verse by verse. God has a good sense of humor. So let's see here. So Sarah's one hundred and twenty seven years old. She got to see Isaac reached the ripe age of thirty seven because she was ninety when she had him. Okay, what I want to tell you guys about this story is it was customary to bury someone that died in the land that they are from. They need to need to be buried

next to their ancestors. It's customary, it's a tradition. But what's very interesting is he chose the barrier in Hebron, right, he chose to bury her there. Normally, what he would do is he would take her back to the land that they were in Mesopotamia, where they were from. But no, see, Abraham was promised this land for his descendants and he knows that. So now he's basically gonna bury her in Hebron,

which is modern day Palestine. Right. Uh, Now, I don't know some people have these differences on Palestine and Israel, and there's a lot of differences happening. I I personally have neighbors that are that are Palestinian, and uh, you know, I love Palestinian. I love Israel. I love everybody, black, white, anything, I love everybody. And uh, these neighbors are very good and they have this is the same hospitality that you see in the Bible. There they have. They're very hospitable

and very nice people. But so he's burying them in Hebron, which is modern day Palestine slash Israel, depending on your beliefs. So he is making a claim on this land. Instead of him taking and burying her in Mesopotamia, where they're from, He's now burying him in Hebron, knowing that this land is going to be promised to him and that he is gonna he is basically staking claim on this land.

We'll come back to those notes as we read. So then Abraham stood up from before his dead and spoke to the sons of Heath, saying, I am a foreigner and a visitor among you. Give me property property for burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. Still weeping, you know, probably still feeling this emotion, but he wants to stay claim on this land, knowing that this will be this land is promised to him. Not only does descendants promised to him,

but also this land is promised to him. Som And the sons of Heath answered Abraham, saying to him, hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us bury your dead and the choices of your burial places. None of us will withhold from you his burial place that you may bury your dead. Now, what we got to understand about Abraham. He has plenty of oxen, plenty of camel, plenty of money. I think he is wealthy. You know,

he has a lot of things going on. They're calling him a prince at this point, right, so I think that's really interesting, it says. Then Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heath, the Heathites, that's what they are, and he spoke to them, saying, it is it is your wish that I bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and meet with Ephron, the son of Zohar h for me that they give me the cave of Makaloth which he has, which is at the end of his field.

Let him give it to me at the full price as a property for a burial place among you, full rip, you know, just let me, let me have it. He wants to bury U Sarah, and he wants these uh this So now Efron Dwoth among the sons of Heath, the Heathites, and Ephron the heath the Hittite. Sorry, not the Heathight the Hittite, answered Abraham, in the presence of the sons of Heath, all who entered at the gate of the city, saying, no, my lord, hear me, I give you this field and cave that is in it.

I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you bury your dead. So what people tend to read here sometimes is some people they read this and they think that the guy's just being a nice guy and wants to give it to them. But it's going to be paid. There's a price that's going to be paid. This is

like a bargaining between these two. This is bargaining to take away some of the what they what they found out about the Hittites on some of the I guess they found some old laws from the hit Tights in a When you own land, there's some taxes that you're obligated to pay if you have it. So some people speculate that this gentleman was knew that and he was like, Hey, I want to get rid of some of my lands so I don't have to pay the taxes on it.

That's what some people say about this verse. And you're going to see that he full rips Abraham right here, and he pays full price for it, like you said earlier. Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land, and he spoke to Ephron and the hearing of the people of the land, saying, if you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there. And Efron answered saying to him, my word, listen to me.

The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is this between you and me? So bury your dead. And Abraham listened to the e Fhron, and Abraham wighed out the silver for Efron, which he had named, and the hearing of the sons of Heath four hundred shekels of silver and currency in the merchants. What I thought was interesting is they're doing this deal and the gates of the city they don't you know, the gates of

the city is where they make deals. You know, they don't have a city council, they don't have a city hall. But this is where people were, you know, were married and deals were made and oaths were made. This is where judges were and you know, in the gates of the city where they would do this type of stuff. So that's what's happening here. Four hundred shekels of silver is quite hefty for this land. But like I said, Abraham is wealthy man. You know, he's wealthy, so he

wants this land. He wants to bury you know, Sarah, and he chooses to pay that four hundred shekels of silver. Now, what people were buried here in this grave site that Abraham is a purchasing right here. Well, according to Jewish tradition, it is the site of the graves of Abraham, of Sarah, of Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, and Leah. These graves have been buried under the church built in Beslatine period in Israel, which is now used as a mosque. I think that's interesting.

But Rachel was buried in Bethlehem, but Rebecca, Isaac's wife was was was also buried in there. That's according to Jewish tradition. That and this is actually a double cave, so there's actually, you know, two different spots here in this cave. And according to a Jewish tradition, that's who was buried there. Okay, Sarah, Abraham, Rebecca, all these different people in the Bible that we that we read in

Abraham's family. So I think this is very interesting. He does pay that four hundred shekels of silver for this, which is very hefty for this, but he just pays it. And obviously he's taken claim to this land, and that's

very interesting. So the field of Ephron, which was in Meltek was before memory, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within the surrounding borders are deeded to Abraham as possession in the presence of the sons of Heath before all who went in the gate of his city. And after this, Abraham buried Sarah, his wife in the cave of the field. Mcaplef before memory. That is,

hebron in the land of Canaan. So the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heath at the property of a

burial place. So he buries his wife Sarah, which we've actually read through here, and you guys understand the whole if you guys go from you know, if you guys go back a couple episodes, you see everything that happened between Abraham and Sarah and everything that went along, you know, with Lot and the Sodomigamoora and all these different scenarios are happening through Abraham, and you guys will learn all

this cool stuff that we went over. So if you guys are just tuning in for the first time in episode seven, go back to episode one and listen to episode one, two, three, four, or five six. What you're gonna get is a bunch of meat and a bunch of interesting stuff, and it's going to build up to get into this point of Genesis twenty three where Sarah death and burial and uh. People need to understand that

that uh, that Abraham he loved his wife. They were trying to bore children together and they lived, and they saved a lot, and they you know, got kidnapped, and they went through all these things together Ishmael and Hagar. All this stuff happened, and they went through so much stuff, and as they were going and so much faith was built. And and you see that he was weeping for his wife. We're weeping for his wife. And now she passed. So now we're gonna continue here Genesis twenty four. A bride

for Isaac. Right, So this is this is very important because Isaac needs to have children, right, We need these descendants that become many. So let's let's check this out. And this is some very awesome stuff too, of faith and how to handle certain things, and how to choose a wife. It would have been cool if before I chose my wife, I did the same kind of test to see the servitude of of her beforehand. You'll see some really cool stuff here here in Genesis twenty four.

So let's see if I have anything else in my notes for Genesis twenty three. This is Genesis twenty three, four hundred shekels. We already went over that buried deals were made in the city. Yeah, you don't really need to know anything else. I don't have anything else in my notes about chapter twenty three. We're gonna go to chapter twenty four now and we'll continue reading. Let's do that. So a bride for Isaac Chapter twenty four. First one, Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age, and the

Lord had blessed Abraham and all things. So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all he had, Please put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of Heaven and the God of the Earth, that you will not take a wife, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites. So he did not want Isaac to marry any of the Canaanites. Nope, he wants him to go back to his old country Mesopotamia, and he wants to

get a wife from his tribe. Right, he wants to marry his tribe. You know, if you look at the Canaanites, a lot of them were giants, right, Look at all the giants that dwelt in the land of Canaanites. Look at the DNA. Right. We went over sa Toomingamora. Maybe the second incursion. There is some DNA that is kind of up here. Again, there's Raphaeim in the land. There's giants, there's Amorites, which are giants. The king of Bashan, there's all these different He doesn't want that Canaanite DNA. He

wants to go back to his land. He knows that that is clear of giants. That's what I believe, you know. So what does he do? He tells him swear. So put your hand under my thigh and I will make you swear by the Lord. Yeah. So if you kind of go into if you kind of go into that whole scenario. The ancient form of oath swearing described in verses two through four and nine is explained by Charles F. Feiffer.

According to the Bible, Biblical idiom children are said to issue from the thigh or loins of their father, placing the hand under the thigh, signifying that in the event that an oath we violated, the children who had issued or might issue from that thigh would avenge the act of disloyalty. This has been called a swearing biposterity and is particularly application here because the servant's mission is to

ensure a posterity for Abraham through Isaac. Okay, so we got to understand that, all right, So this is this is this is such a cool story. But that's that whole thing, you know, swearing by the I just wanted to kind of go over that because you might read that and be like, what what is that? That's that's not something that we do. But yeah, obviously there's different things in different cultures that they do compared to us, that that's going to be different. But yeah, I just

want to go over that. So he obviously didn't want that Canaanite bloodline. Man, that's really important there. And as we go through the Bible, you're going to notice that there's certain things that you're going to pick up that that you wouldn't pick up going to a normal church.

That's why I think this is so important because a lot of these churches are not teaching about giants, about the Raphi aim, about the nepheline, about fallen angels having sex with women and creating boring giants, the heroes of old, the men of renown, and they're not teaching that type of stuff. They're teaching the Sethite Canaanite theory, where you know these people mingled and had giants. So how did that happen? Well, fallen angels had sex with women, had

the DNA. Uh you know, the DNA get mixed up there. And I think that we need Jesus to come through the line of Isaac right through David, King David. So we need this DNA to stay pure, just like Uh, Noah's DNA was pure, it was perfect in his generations. The DNA was clear of raphaem nepheline blood line. Yeah, there's a lot. That's why the blood is is so important throughout this Old Testament. And and I you know, stuffy you pick up on when you know certain things

about the Bible. That's so important. But you shall go to the country to my family and take a wife from my son Isaac. And Thists the servant said to him, perhaps this woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which I came, which you came. But Abraham said to him, beware that you do not take my son back there. The Lord God of Heaven, who took me from my father's house, from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me,

saying to your descendants, I give this land. He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife from my son from there. If the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath. And not only do not take my son back there. So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his master, and swore to him concerning this matter. Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were

in his land. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, the city of Nahar. Okay, so going back to Abraham's old stomping grounds, going back to his old tribe. So understand that. And he's taking ten camels with him. Remember that. Remember that part right there, because I think it's a really interesting And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when the woman go out to draw water.

Then said, oh, Lord God, my master of Abraham, please give me success this day and show kindness to my master Abraham. Behold here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. Okay, so listen. He gets to the land he made a covenant or like a promise to Abraham, put his hand under his thigh, and now he's here to deliver. What does he do? Soon as he gets there, he drops down and prays to God, and the Lord God, give me success this day and

show kindness to my master Abraham. Behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are now coming out to draw water. So soon as he gets there, he drops down and he prays, you know, like please, he's relying on God. What you're supposed to do, like pray always. Now let it be there as the young woman to whom I say, please let down your picture that I may drink, And she says drink, and I will also give your camels

a drink. Okay. So so he sees this young woman, he says, please let down your picture that I may drink. She says drink, and I will also give you your camel's a drink. Let her be the one you have a pointed for your servant, Isaac. And by this I will let that you have shown kindness to my master. So so he asked for a drink, which is in the in the Hebrew actually means like a sip. And she gives him as much as he wants to drink, and also says that I will give your camels a drink.

And camels they could, they could drink like twenty gallons of water. So this is no small task. So this woman, beautifully hospitality servant, she's she's being I'm going to servant saying, oh, you want a little drink, you want to sip? No, no, no, no, here, here's here's a here's some gallons of water, you know. And also he she says that she is going to serve his camels hospitality servant. But this is a test.

This is a test right here by Abraham's servant. And it happened before he had finished speaking, that behold Rebecca, who was born of Bethel, son of Milac, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with the picture on her shoulder. Now the young woman was very beautiful, to behold, a virgin. No man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher and came up, and the servant ran to meet her and said, please,

let me have a little water from your pitcher. Excuse me, A little water in Hebrew means a sip of water, like I said, so she said, drink, my lord. Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand and gave him a drink. And she when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, I will also draw the water for your camels until they have finished drinking. Think about this, This is no small task. Twenty gallons of water. She's going to the well. She's getting all

this this water for her his camels as well. He knows that this is a catch right here. A beautiful woman. It says she was a no one has known her, so she's a virgin, and she is beautiful, just like Sarah was beautiful. Isaac is going to be with this beautiful girl as well. And this is the one right here, Rebecca so beautiful. Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water and drew for all his camels. This is a

special moment right here. She's working, right, She's like, all right, I got this, and it's almost like you know something is going to happen, you know, And it's really awesome what happens here? And the man wondered at her, remained silent as to know whether the Lord had made his

journey prosperous or not. So it was when the camels had finished drinking that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, and said, whose daughter are you? Tell me? Please? Is their room in your father's house for us to lodge? She said to him, I am the daughter of Bethel, Meloch's son, whom she bore to Nohrror. Moreover, she said to him, we have

both straw and feed enough to room to lodge. So they're giving straw food to the camels, they're giving water to the camels. The hospitality is great here, just like and he knows that something's going on. So then the man bowed down to his head and worshiped the Lord, basically just saying, thank you God, you know, praise God, you know you made my journey not a waste of time. I'm going to go back to my master, and I'm gonna get Isaac. This beautiful woman, Rebecca, And what a blessing.

And he's also says here that he said, blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, for he has not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master. As for me being on my way, the Lord led me me to the house of my master's brethren. So the young woman ran and told her mother's household these things. Now, Rebecca had a brother whose name was Lebon, and Lebon

ran out to the man by the well. So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, that he had heard the words of his sister Rebecca, saying, thus the man spoke to me that he went to the man, and there he stood by the campbell's at the well. So you'll hear some more stuff about Lebon later. He's kind of a little sisty character. Leban is his name. You're

gonna he's kind of a shisty character. You'll see. Basically, he sees the gold and all this, he runs out there to talk to the guy, like, hey, I want to get involved in this too, And he said, come in, Oh, blessed, So Lebon said to it, and he said, come in oh, blessed of the Lord, Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.

Then the man came to the house, and he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the animals, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. Food was set before him to eat, but he said, I will not eat until I have told about my errand and he said, speak on. And so he said, I am Abraham's servant. The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master, whom she was old, and to him he was given, has given all that he has. Now my master made me swear, saying, you shall not take a wife. You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of Canaanites, in whose land I dwell. But you shall go to my father's house and to my family and take a wife from my son. And I said to my master, perhaps the woman will not follow me.

But he's said to me the Lord before whom I walk, I will send his angel with you and prosper your way. And you shall take a wife for my son, for my family who my father's house. You will clear from the oath when you arrive among my family, for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath. And this day I came to the well and said, Lord, O, Lord, God of my master Abraham, you will now prosper in a way which I go. Behold, I stand at the well of water.

And it came to pass that when the Virgin comes to the draw water, I say to her, please give me a drink of a little drink of water. Picture drink. And she said to me drink, and I will draw from the camels. Also I let the woman whom the Lord appointed for my master's son. But before I had finished speaking by heart, there was Rebecca coming out from her picture on her shoulder, and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her,

please let me drink. And she made haste and let her picture down from her shoulder and said, drink, and I will give your camels drink. Also. So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink. Also. Then I asked her whose daughter are you, and she said, the daughter of Bethel, no horse son, whom Miloche bore to him. So I put the nose ring on her nose, and

the bracelets on her wrist. And I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brother from his son. Now, if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me, and if not, tell me that I may turn to the right hand or to the left. Then Lebon and Bethel answered and said, the thing comes from the Lord. The thing comes from the Lord.

We cannot speak to you either bad or good. Here is Rebecca, before you take her and go and let her be your master's son's wife. As the Lord has spoken so very interesting stuff. Here we have Rebecca, a beautiful woman, virgin, gonna go with him. You know. So this this promise is gonna be fulfilled, and they're gonna have children, and you're gonna see the everything in the

scenario being built right here, and everything that happens. We're going to continue through the Bible, and you're gonna see. But and it came to pass when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he had worshiped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth. Then the servant brought out jewelry of silver, jewelry of gold, and clothing and gave them to Rebecca he was. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night.

And they arose in the morning, and he said, send me away to my master. But her brother and her mother said, let the young woman stay here with us a few days, and less ten that she may go. So, you know, the mother is like, hey, you're about to take my daughter. Let me spend you know, let me spend some time with her before she goes. Looks like

ten days. She probably knew that back then. It's not like where you have a car where you're gonna drive to your mama's house and drive to your grandma's house and drive across country and it's no problem. This is different. She probably knew that she wouldn't see her daughter for a long time. You know, this is actually a four hundred and fifty mile trip that he took from Hebron to Mesopotamia. This is no easy task. This is a far trip. This takes a long time. This is they

are far away. So this woman is like, hey, sure she knows the journey. I'm sure that she's worried about her daughter, and she knows she she wants to spend some time with her, you know, before she goes. And he said to them, do not hinder me, since the Lord has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master. And so they said, we will call the young woman and ask her personally. And they called Rebecca and said will you go with this man?

And she said I will go. So they went away, Rebecca, their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men. And they blessed Rebecca and said to her, old sister, may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possessed the gates of those who hate them. Then Rebecca her maids arose, and they rode on their camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebecca and departed. Now Isaac came from the way

of Bear Liroi, and he dwelt in the south. And Isaac went out to the mediate in the field in the evening, and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there the camels were coming. Yes, So he's like, all right, the ten camels are coming. I'm waiting for my bride. I'm waiting for my bride, my beautiful bride that comes by faith. And the Lord provided once again. The Lord provided once again, and you know he provided this beautiful woman. Rebecca lifted her eyes and when she saw Isaac, she

dismounted from her camel. You can imagine this beautiful scene. Or she's on the camel. She's looking up and she sees Isaac and she's like, whoa, he's hot too. I don't know what she said, but she's probably like, all right, I want to hook up with this guy. But whatever. But you know, she knows they're gonna get married. But you see this beautiful scene and he sees the beauty of Rebecca and he's probably like, all right, man, this is gonna be awesome and amazing. And the Lord provided

me with this beautiful wife, you know. And she seems like she's also feeling the same way, says for she had said to the servant, who is this man walking in the field to meetas the servant said, it is my master. So she took a veil and covered herself. It's probably a tradition to cover herself. And she's probably like, okay, you know, she's getting ready for this beautiful moment. And this servant told Isaac all the things that he had done,

traveled four hundred and fifty miles. This woman as well, traveled four hundred and fifty miles with them coming back with these you know, probably this is probably a long trip. She's probably like just mount. She's dismounting her camel, looking at Isaac, like, who's this man? This is the man. This is when you're Genna, marry Rebecca. She covered herself and she's ready to do this, you know, so very powerful stuff here, yeah, very powerful man. And faith cometh

by hearing the word of God. This is how you build faith hearing the word of God. This is why I read the Bible directly from the Bible and then try to let you guys know. And this is a beautiful scene here. And then Isaac brought her into his mother's Okay, it says, and the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. So the servant Abimelech is telling him, hey, I traveled four hundred and fifty miles I you know, I prayed when I got there, and this beautiful woman came and I asked for a

little drink. She gave me as much water as I wanted. She ended up feeding giving water to all the camels. And her hospitality was beautiful. She is a servant. She did this not even knowing who I am. Just a nice woman with the beautiful heart, you know, and and and just took care of me, the hospitality, and then she took me to you know, just told her everything

that had happened, you know. And I'm sure Isaac was like, okay, well, hey she's beautiful, she's got hospitality, she has a beautiful heart. And then Isaac brought her into this mother Sarah's tent, and he took Rebecca and he became and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted by his mother's death. So now Isaac obviously was still mourning for his mother's death. Abraham said, hey, I need you to go and get this wife. He goes out

there and gets it. Everything happens, And do they go and get together and go to a church and and have a pastor marry them or a priest to marry them. That is that the way this marriage went down. No, it doesn't. The marriage becomes a fish when he took Rebecca into that tent and he loved her, or he made love to her, and that's that's what that that's what that is. So marriage is not about It's not biblical for you to take a man and wife and

go get a marriage certificate. That's not what marriage is about. Marriage is when you go and you become one with somebody, when you make love to them, and that's kind of what you see here. But going and making a covenant with God and getting married in a church or getting married and getting marriage certificate, that's not biblical, but it is something we do. We make a covenant with God till death to his part. I think it is beautiful

and I think it's important. But just to know biblically, it's not about that they go into the tent and he took Rebecca. He took her, which means he made love to her and she became his wife. And so it's all about when you go. You know, people think that sex is so let me just go have sex with this person, this person, this person. But biblically it's about going. When you do that, you are now married.

So how many people are you married to biblically? Me? Man, I before I got saved and everything, you know, before I had my wife. Ah man uh yeah, very interesting man. That that that that's that's what it's about there. So we're gonna go to uh, we're gonna go to Genesis twenty five and just continue reading here. So Abraham took a wife. Her name is Katura, and she bore him zim zim Ran joke Shan Medan medidion ishbak and Shua

joke shock butt Shiba d Dan. The sons of d Dan were Assyrium, Lysium, uh Lumium, and the sons of Midian were a Farr, fr haynok abhivian a Lota, and those were the children of Katara. So Abraham remarries and took another wife, Katara, and bore more children. Remember that his descendants would be many. Wow. So he actually has Katara,

a new wife, and they bore all these children. Some of these children are actually going to be Saudi Arabia, and different nations are through these children, and I think that it's very important. A lot of people don't continue reading through the Book of Genesis, or maybe they only know about these stories that pastors go over, but look

at all this right here. As you go through the Bible, you find out that Abraham remarried, got with this lady, and other nations came through them, and Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had. One thing that people they miss interpret concubines is being horrors, but really it's not. It's like wives, you know, like like

they'd be like second wives. You might have a main wife like he had Sarah, and then Hagar would be like a concubine, which is like your second wife, you know. But they're not like horrors. That's what people think, Well, I got a thousand horrors. No, they're like a thousand wives. Uh huh is what it means. Which Abraham had, and while he was still living, he sent them eastward, away from Isaac and his son to the country of the East. So let's read this real quick. Abraham's death and burial.

So we have Abraham's death and burial being recorded here. So this is the sum of the years of Abraham's life, which he had lived one hundred and twenty five years.

Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man full of years, and was gathered to his people, and his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Malak, which is before memory, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohara that hits height, the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heath, that Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham that God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt in

in beer lehigh Roy. So let's see if what notes I have for Genesis twenty five. Yeah, so I didn't know I was going to make it to Genesis twenty five. I know it's we're about an hour fifty minutes in, but there is some stuff I wanted to go over. So so Katara had jakashan Sheiba and didan that's Saudi Arabia, thedan if are ishar hanak Abadai, and alada are the Bedoians. Word are the Badoians from I have to look that up. Badeau and nomadic arab of the desert is what Badoians mean,

meaning Badoian. They're desert dwellers. That's what that means. So the Badoian are nomadic people who traditionally lived in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. The term Bidoyan comes from the Arabic word Badoi, which means desert dweller. The Bible trays the early Israelites as nomads. Some scholars believe that the Israelites were once in Badoian, which were some ways of Badoian cultures reflected in the Bible. So understand that. So we have that. Yeah, so I just

like to kind of go over the descendants. So, yeah, we have that, and you know, we're we got probably another nine minutes or so, so we'll kind of continue going through this couple of genealogies before we end the family of Ishmael and Isaac. Now, this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham's son in whom Hagar, the Egyptian Sarah's maid servant bore to Abraham. And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to

the generations. The firstborn Navajath, then Kadar, Abdil Mibsam, Mishima, Dumah, Massa, Haydar, tama Jatur, napish Cadath. These were the sons of Ishmael that were in the names, but they're towns of their settlements. Twelve princes according to their nation. So Ishmael has twelve princes. Wow, I think that's fascinating. Just like the Angel of the Lord, just like God promised Abraham, and just like he promised, Ishmael was going to have descendants that are going to

be great. He has twelve princes that came from him, and these became according to their nations. These were the years in the life of Ishmael one hundred and thirty seven years. And he breathed his last and died. He was gathered to his people. They dwelt from the have A Llah, thus is sure, which is east of Egypt, as they go towards Syria. He died in the presence of all his brethren, so it records his death here, so and it also records his genealogy here. So it

is important. God loves all people, right, he loves all people, and he's going over Ishmael's people. And I think that's super interesting that his genealogy is there, the twelve princes, the different nations that came from, the different nations that came through him many, you know, just like the sands of the seas, nations came through him. It's like God had promised. This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham's son

Abraham Begat. Isaac. Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca his wife, that virgin, that beautiful woman we talked about, the daughter of Bethel the Syrian, of Puddin around, the sister of Labam the Syrian. Now, Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife because she was barren, and the Lord granted his plea. So she also had problems conceiving. What is going on here with this problem conceiving? Well,

what does this build? This makes it so that Isaac praise to God for his wife to be barren for him to open the wound. Abraham was praying to God for Sarah to have a child. This is what's happening here. Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife. This builds faith, This builds relationship between Isaac and the Lord. Same thing with Abraham. This makes it so that you're not depending on man or depending on yourself, or depending on your wife.

You're depending on the Lord. You're praying. So if your wife cannot conceive or have children, what should you be doing? Pleading with the Lord for you to have children. Have faith that you're going to be able to have children. Me and my wife before we had our first daughter, Ariel, we you know, we were praying because it was taking a long time to conceive. I started having children late

in life because I was in the military. I got deployed and I was serving, you know, in the army, So that that kind of being in that lifestyle, you know, leaving, being gone and doing all that, it's it's a lot difficult to have children. Also, I needed time to mature because I was partying and doing all this crazy stuff you know before, you know, I wasn't saved yet, So

I think God wanted time for me to mature. Once I joined the military, I went through, you know, all this stuff I had to go through through the army, and I had children late in life, so we chose to have children late. My wife is six years younger than me, so she was accusing the child bearing age, but I was getting up there in age, and we

had children late in life. So we prayed and prayed and prayed, and we put oil on us and prayed, and we did everything that we could, having my pastor pray and we prayed, we prayed, and we finally had Ariel. So what you gotta do is you got to plead with the Lord. Okay, you gotta plead, you gotta pray, and this is what happens here. And the Lord granted his plea, and Rebecca, his wife, conceived, but the children struggled together within her, and she said, all is well,

why I am like this? So she went to inquire to the Lord, and the Lord said to her, two nations are in your womb. Two people shall be separated from your body. One people shall be stronger than the other. The older shall serve the younger. So when her days were fulfilled to give her birth, indeed there were twins in her wound, and first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over, so that they called

him Esau. Afterward, his brother came out and his hand took hold of Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them, so Isaac was old too, man when he had children, sixty years old having children. But they pleaded with the Lord, but they knew. He knew that he was going to be able to have children, but he pleaded with God, and he waited patiently for Rebecca, his love, and she bore these twins, and he literally grabbed the heel. He

wanted to be the first born. He's like, get down, but no, he ended up being born Esauth, first born, and they called him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. So the boys grew and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling intents. And Isaac loved l because he ate of his game. But but Rebecca loved Jacob. So we have a a sibling rivalry here, right.

We got Isau and uh and and and Jacob and uh because he ate of his game, but Rebecca loved Isaac loved because he ate of his game, so he would just hunt for him and they would eat together, and they would you know, dine together and dwell together. Rebecca loved Jacob right. He was a tent dweller. It seemed like he was more of a helping out around the house the inside. He didn't really like to be outdoors. Wasn't that type. But Esau was a hunter, right, so

manly man right, and he was red too. I think that's really interesting. And he was Harry. That's just really interesting. Well, I think we're well, we're gonna stop here. Uh we we went over Genesis twenty five. We're halfway through, you know what, we won't stop her. We'll continue real quick and then we'll get to Genesis twenty six for next week's session. Esau sells his birthright now, Jacob cooked a stew and Esau came from the field, and he was weary.

What does that word weary mean. Let's see what that says there, weary. So we're Genesis twenty five. This probably means you starving. Genesis twenty five, verse twenty nine, and Jacob sewed pottage and Esau came from the field and he was faint, right, that's what the King James says. He was faint, he was exhausted, he was weary, he was hungry, thirsty. And Esau said to Jacob, please feed me with the same bred stew, for I am weary. Therefore his name was called eat him, eat them might.

Therefore his name was called eat them. But Jacob said, sell me your birthright as of this day. And Esau said, look, I am about to die, so what is this birthright to me? And Jacob said, swear to me of this day. So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave hisself bread and stew lentils, and then he ate and drank a rose and went away. Does Esau despise his birthright? So that's what we have here. We have him selling his birthright. It's a very important

passage that people go over and and and uh. And Esau despised his birthright. So Jacob, he wants to that line is going to come through Jacob. Okay, uh, the line of Jesus comes through Jacob. So there's a promise there through him, you know. So we'll pick up next the week. In Genesis twenty six, I should have some very interesting stuff. Like I always say, and I really

really seriously appreciate everybody that's listening. If you could, if you listen to the end of this episode, you know, comment and also if you could, please do me a favor and leave a five star review for Cult of Conspiracy podcast and let them know if you're enjoying this DM Jonathan and Jacob, let them know if you're enjoying these the scriptures that were going over. I will do

my best to bring the scriptures alive. I will do my best with studies and try to make it so that you guys are entertained at the same time building faith, you know, because faith come by hearing the word of God. And I think it's vastly important because right now you see how evil the world is, you know, because all these conspiracies you guys have been taught. I mean, jeez, what five hundred and something episodes that these gentlemen have

gone over. And I'm sure you've listened to other shows, the Jordan Maxwell's, the all these different people teaching you all this stuff about conspiracies, and you know, my show and other people's shows. You see the evil, you see the devil, you see the one that's behind all these plans. You see that the fallen angels, You see the demons that are involved in all these plans. You see these governments that are ruled by fallen angels and demons and by Satan. You see this. You guys know this. You

guys need an answer to these conspiracies. There is an answer. Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. Okay uh, there is an answer. God is the answer. That is what the answer is to to all these conspiracies that you guys have gone through. There is an answer, and there is peace and there is joy that you can find through the Lord. And I just am here to share the Gospel message with you, but I here to share the Biblical message. And we are going through the

Bible Genesis to Revelation. And this show will continue all right, whether it's on cult conspiracy podcasts. I hope it just continues, you know, and you guys can continue listening through here. But no matter what, this show will continue. I will just continue until we get to the end of revelation. I'm prophesying this and I'm saying this in Jesus' name that this show will continue. I will make sure of it, and God will make sure of it. Because this is

very important for you guys. So next week we're gonna pick up in Genesis twenty six. We're gonna go over Isaac and what he went through, and I hopefully we can find some gold nuggets there that will help you through build faith and help you to you know, in your life. But what we gather from these verses that we went over is we gather the obedience, We gather faith. We gather what men should do when their wife cannot bear children. We gather that we need to pray and

go to the Lord. We also gathered that that Abraham's servant he bowed down and prayed to God when he ended up showing up there when you know, to get Rebecca, he prayed. We see that Isaac pleaded with the Lord, or prayed to the Lord, or asked the Lord for him to be able to build chillsen through Rebecca. There's

there's prayer there. The faith that Abraham had when when he took Isaac on that mountain, the typeology of what happens later on when God gave his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us go Gothas where this was located. You know, we have typology there of what happens later in life, but we have Abraham's faith. We went over that and that way, you guys can see this stuff in motion. Faith in motion, you know, is what you see. You get faith acted out.

You got to see all that which is so fast and important. But like I always do, though, I always end this in prayer. So let's do that. So Father God and the name of Jesus, we appreciate everything you do for us. Thank you so much for this glorious time. Thank you so much for blessing me with this show Sunday Service and also the Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy podcast.

Thank you for blessing me with that. Anybody that's listening right now that that you know is having issues with coming closer to you, having issues with sin, including myself. You know, if I have anything in my life that's preventing me from getting close to you, Lord, I pray that you you you break those chains or anything that's that's that's in any of our lives, you know that's stopping us from getting closer to you. Just remove them,

remove those block walls. You know, we have so many things that tempt us, and so many things that that the devil tries to use against us to make sure that we're not getting close to you. Lord, I pray and you show the Michiak's name, that you remove those out of our life, whatever stopping us from getting closer to You, Lord, remove them, break those chains.

for glory for myself. This is not for glory for Jacob, Jonathan or Julia or anybody that's involved in this show. But this is for the glory of You. This is for you know, even if one person out of you know, twenty thousand people end up getting saved, then then this message is doing its job. But I just want to make sure this gets out to the people that need it,

that uh that that that want to build faith. And and even if they don't want to build faith, if they just want to learn about the Bible and they're they're not they don't believe in you yet, Lord, at least this You know, faith cometh by hearing, so allow the word to to assist them. And you know, I know the importance Father God of this show. I know the importance of reading your word and going verse by verse. I think it's just vastly important. And Lord, I will

do my best to study. I will do my best on my end for you to for you to speak through me as a vessel. So just assist me on that. And as I'm going, Lord, assist the people that are listening to get deeper into your word and for them to read the word, these words that I'm speaking, these verses. Have them read it for themselves. Lord, help them to do that so that they can read and you know, catch things here and there that that you'd like to
