with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Dennis Murray good day to you god bless you welcome to shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we're gonna pick it up today 2nd Samuel chapter 16 verse 12 we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you care to we'd love to have you in our last lesson David's probably at one of the lowest points in his life he's leading a group of people out of Jerusalem and not knowing who is supporting him who has betrayed him to Absalom and on the way out of Jerusalem ziba a servant of Saul came out and told David that mephibosheth and understand David had taken Mephibosheth in and he was eating at David's table he was treated as one of the princes as one of David's sons of Israel and ziba came to David on the way out of Jerusalem and said Mephibosheth is saying that Israel is going to return his father's kingdom to him today which was a lie we'll see that that comes to light at a future point but then a little further down the road one a Benjamite by the name of shimmy I was throwing rocks at David and cursing David and calling him a bloody man a murderer and shimmy I was yelling at David you took the throne away from Saul now the Lord has taken the throne away from you and giving it to your son Absalom Abba Shai one of David's nephew said why should this dead dog live let me go over and take off his head and David sternly rebuked evidently Joab joined in too but in verse 10 what have I to do with you ye sons of xerath and David went on to explain to them my own son out of my own loins has betrayed me and is stealing the throne away from me and this Benjamite all he's doing is cursing me leave him alone so David's continuing as we pick it up today in verse 12 to tell the people with him how he feels at this point in his life and as let's ask that word of wisdom and Yeshua's precious name father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day 2nd Samuel chapter 16 verse 12 and it reads it may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction or look on my tears and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing referring to shimmy I this day and I think David is looking on all of this that's happening to him as possible retribution or payback from God for what he did to Bathsheba and the adulterous affair and then sending Uriah the Hittite and thinking that all this is coming from the Lord David is willing to accept it and you know that's a big part of repentance is being willing to accept the punishment that God chooses to to give you and when God does punish you always remember Hebrews chapter 12 or 6 and 7 he only chastises those he loves so when the paddle comes out and you're the recipient kissed the paddle thanked the father and put your head down and go back to work for him verse 13 and as David and his men went by the way shimmy I went along on the hillside over against him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and cast dust dusted him with dust now this won't be David's last encounter with shimmy eye there's a civil war on the horizon when David is victorious over the armies of Absalom and he crosses the Jordan backed on the west side of the Jordan into Israel shimmy I is one of the first that David encounters will cover that when we get there verse 14 and the king and all the people that were with him came weary and refreshed themselves there this place weary it's thought to be a place not a condition that the people were in when they got there yeah they were weary all right and they probably needed the rest verse 15 now Absalom is entering Jerusalem and making plans for how he can put the throne firmly in his grasp verse 15 and Absalom and all the people the men of Israel came to Jerusalem and a hipa fell with him now a hipa fell was one of David's most loyal and most trusted counselors now he's betrayed David and you remember I'll remind you in earlier chapter David prayed that the counsel of a hipa fell to Absalom would become folly or foolishness now Absalom is truly a type for the Antichrist you see Jesus Christ at one point in the future will return to Jerusalem as king of kings and Lord of lords there is a fake the Antichrist who's coming first and Absalom is a type for the Antichrist he's not God's anointed king he's stealing the throne from David who is God's anointed verse 16 and it came to pass when who shy the r-ky David's friend was coming to Absalom that who shy said unto Epsilon God saved the king God saved the king in the Hebrew this is let the King Live now who Shai remember is also a close trusted counselor of David he on the other hand saddled up and was going with David and when David saw him he said no don't come with me I want you to stay in Jerusalem you'd be more of a burden to me than you would be a help hoosh I was getting on up in years but he went on to explain to who Shai that he needed him to be a spy to communicate to David what was going on in Absalom's camp so this is a very friendly approach by who shy to Absalom but notice how sharp who she is how wise he is did he say god save Absalom god save Absalom no he said God saved the king God saved the king and he could very well have met King David and I'm sure that's what he meant who she is trying to convince Absalom that he supports him now in this warm greeting and recognising Absalom as king kinda-sorta verse 17 and Absalom said to who shy is this thy kindness or is this thy love to thy friend referring to David why wentest now not with thy friend why didn't you go with David and it might have gotten back to Absalom that who shy was settled saddled up to go with David but then returned so I think Absalom probably rightfully so a little surprised by who shiz welcome and in response and suspicious at the same time verse 18 and hoosh I said unto Absalom nay but whom the Lord in this people and all the men of Israel choose his will I be and with him will I abide David has him spying on Absalom again he's who Shai is crafty and wise did he say that the Lord had chosen Absalom to be king or the men of Israel obviously they had but who's the who the Lord chose to be the king of Israel I will be his and again he's not committing to Absalom but rather David verse 19 and again whom should I serve should I not serve in the presence of his son as I have served in my father's presence so will I be in thy present and he's in his presence so he's not lying very crafty he gains Absalom's confidence and and hoosh I had he turned over on David would have been a very valuable source of information very few people knew David and his strategies better than Who shied verse 20 then said Absalom to a hit FL give counsel among you what shall we do what what are the next steps for claiming the throne and locking it in you see at this point in his life Absalom is probably 23 24 years old he's a young man he's still green behind the ears and it's wise of him to seek out the Council of the elders twenty-one and a HIPPA fell said unto Absalom go in unto thy father's concubines which he hath left to keep the house and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred by thy father then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong your supporters will be strengthened by the fact that you have laid claim you see what was the king's if you claimed it as being yours you were taking over the king's reign and this is part of Nathan's prophecies of chapter 12 verse 11 you remember when God came down on David for what he did with Bathsheba and to Uriah the Hittite God said you took Bathsheba in private I'm going to make it to where one takes your wives under the Sun in other words everyone will know about it in chapter 15 verse 16 of the same book is where David left ten of his concubines now I hid the fell has a motive here as well you see he's kind of burned bridges as far as David is concerned and this act that he's encouraging Absalom to take the taking of David's wives would make it impossible that there would be a reconciliation between David and Absalom and that would be good for a hit FL because at this point if Absalom and David did find a way to reconcile it would probably cost a Hitler fell his life verse 22 so they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house on the king's palace and Absalom went in and to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel God's prophecies always come to pass just as they are spoken just as they are written and the counsel of a hit FL which he counseled in those days was as I was is if a man had inquired at the Oracle or the Word of God so was all the counsel of a hit the fell both with David and with Absalom that's quite a statement saying that the counsel of a hit FL is as wise as the word of God a hit the fellows counsel will not be so highly regarded in the next chapter in not so distant future chapter 17 verse 1 moreover or in addition HIPPA fell said unto Absalom let me now choose out 12 thousand men and I will arise and pursue after David this night this would be the the following day after David had left a hit FL continues to Absalom and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed and will make him afraid and all the people that are with him shall flee and I will smite the King only and this is very possibly very good counsel what I hit the fellas proposing is that quickly attacked David before word gets around as to what has happened in Jerusalem and David's supporters have time to travel to be with him to help him regain the throne verse 3 and I note how many times I hit the fell is saying I in verse 1 I will arise and pursue David verse 2 I will come upon him the latter part of verse 2 I will smite the King only verse 3 I will bring back all the people unto thee that's a lot of eyes on the part of a hit FL Absalom has got an ego and I think Absalom is probably a little more anxious to hear what about me what is the role Absalom plays in all this bring back all the people unto thee the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned so all the people shall be in peace and thus worst kind of losses that what I hit the fellas saying is I'll track David down I'll just kill David and when the others that are with him see that he is no longer there to be king then they will follow me back to Jerusalem and support you Absalom verse four and the saying the sayings of HIPPA fell pleased Absalom well and all the elders of Israel good plan but the Lord will use who Shai to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel to turn the counsel of a hipa fell to foolishness verse 5 then said Absalom call now who Shai the archite also and let us hear likewise what he saith let's get a second opinion from another wise counselor time for who shy to go to work for David verse 6 and when who shy was come to Absalom Absalom spake unto him saying a hipa fell has spoken after this manner what we shall we do after his saying after his words if not speak thou this is what I hid the fell proposed he proposed that he take twelve thousand of Israel and track David down quickly before he's had time to rest and before people that support him have time to travel to be with him and I hid the fell will smite David only and turn the hearts of the rest of the people to support Absalom that's what he counseled what do you counsel and hoosh I said unto Absalom the counsel that a hypnotherapist it's it's wise but it's not good at this time who shot buying time to get word to David that danger is imminent to flee across the Jordan River as quickly as you possibly can remember David is stopping in the plain of Jordan before he gets to the River Jordan and what's so important about crossing the River Jordan there are a lot of good places to hide on the east side of Jordan verse 8 for said who see I now knowest thy father David and his men that they be mighty men and they be chaffed in their minds as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field and thy father is a man of war and will not Lodge with the people david is smarter than to lodge with the people this isn't David's first rodeo he was on the run from Saul for years and years David knows how to hide where he cannot be found and he is a mighty man David's reputation started off when he was 16 or 17 years old and defeated the champion of Gath Goliath when no one else would take him on Saul killed his thousands of Philistines David killed his tens of thousands of Philistines and your father's as mad as a bear who has had her cubs stolen from her first know behold he is hid now in some pit he's hiding in some cave yeah I hid the fell had good counsel but I don't think he could find him or in some other place and it will come to pass when some of them when some of a hit the fells twelve thousand be overthrown or fallen at the first that whosoever hear it that will say there is a slaughter a defeat among the people that follow Absalom you're gonna lose the psychological war when people hear that a hit the fell couldn't find David to slay him but then some of the twelve thousand were defeated by David and his word would get around that you are blamed Absalom for the unsuccessful counsel of Ahithophel and he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion referring to David and his men shall utterly melt excuse me I'm talking about these are the valiant who support Absalom is what this is talking about when they hear that David and his have killed a bunch of the twelve thousand they're not going to be so courageous their heart will melt for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man and they which be with him are valiant men it's not their first rodeo either the men that were with David they've been with David for years and years and they're used to being outnumbered by tremendous odds there were times that six hundred were going against thousands that were with souls so the fact that they're outnumbered is not going to frighten them this time verse 11 therefore I counseled that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee not just twelve thousand all of the armies of Israel from Dan even to bear Sheba that means the extreme north of Israel to the extreme south all of it as the sand that is by the sea for multitude and that thou go to battle in thine own person remember a hit the fell was saying I will gather 12,000 mile track David down here who Shai is appealing to Absalom's ego you know gather all the troops of Israel which would take a little more time but then you Absalom lead the armies of Israel that would suit Absalom to a cup of tea I mean yes let me be in charge you know I'll have all the armies of Israel so I really won't have to worry that I have to fight against my father David or any of his mighty men I'll have the armies to protect me but I can claim the honor and the glory of a victory verse 12 so shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one you'll be victorious and you can claim the glory and the honor for yourself will come upon him as the dew falleth on the ground in other words we're going to cover every inch of it I guess that would always be the case unless you had Gideon's fleece involved verse 13 moreover if he be gotten into a city a fortified walled city then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city and we will draw it the wall in other words into the river until there be not one small stone they're on you have the command of enough power that he if he David hides in a walled city you can command and the people of Israel will pull the walls of the city down David have a place to hide still playing further on Absalom's ego you have the power power power verse 14 and Absalom and all the men of Israel said the Council of Russia I the archite is better than the Council of a hit the fell for the Lord had appointed to defeat the good counsel of a hit the fell to the intent that the Lord might bring evil or calamity upon Absalom this was all in God's plan David prayed that the Lord would bring a hit the fells council - foolishness and that has happened verse 15 then said who shy into Zadok into a buyeth are the priests note the sense of urgency he didn't stop an eat breakfast on the way to the sea the priests he didn't stop at the post office to get the mail he went directly to the priests thus and thus did a hit the fell council Absalom and the elders of Israel and thus and thus have I counseled you remember this was the network that David set up as he was leaving Jerusalem he told who shy I want you to gain Absalom's trust and then if something happens you can get word to a by Othar and Zadok the priest you can trust them and their sons then will get the message to me and of course the message that who Shai is trying to get to David now is flee get across the river Jordan before it's too late Absalom might change his mind continue to go with the counsel of Ahithophel verse 16 now therefore sin quickly until David sang Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness but speedily Passover could cross the Jordan River lest the King be swallowed up and all the people that are with him that's referring to King David again Absalom might change his mind irregardless there's war on the horizon either twelve thousand of a hit the fell or all the armies of Israel gathered together against David run get across the Jordan and running was not David's style David was a warrior and to flee and tail and run you can bet was a difficult thing for David to do verse 18 nevertheless a lad saw them oh we got a spy for Absalom and told Absalom but they went both of them away quickly these are the priests sons who they're part of the plan was to get word to David and came to a man's house in Bay who rum this is in Benjamin which had a well in his court whether they went down the two sons of the priests realized that they had been betrayed by the spy and so what they're doing they're going down the well to hide until the king's men go by and the woman and the man's wife that honed the well took and spread a covering over the wells mouth and spread ground corn thereon and the thing was not known she was putting corn on the surface as though drying the grain these were pretty brave people had they been caught helping David and obviously they were supporters of David this Bay who room is where shimmy Ike the Benjamite came out and was cursing David and throwing rocks near there so that most of the people in this area probably supported Saul over David but these people obviously supported David and the woman took the Sprint we got that verse 20 and when Absalom servants came to the woman to the house they said where is a high my as in Jonathan the sons of the priest and the woman said unto them they be gone over the brook of water they went thattaway is what she's saying and when they had sought that then could not find them they returned to Jerusalem she sent them on a wild goose chase no doubt these people had seen David and his group in that that's where shimmy I was the same town they saw David and his heading toward the Jordan no doubt this woman was smart enough to send them the other direction they gave up looking and went back to Jerusalem but these were courageous people that they would risk their necks to support David verse 21 and it came to pass after they this is Absalom's men were departed that they this is the the priests sons of high Mayas and Jonathan came up out of the well and went and told King David and said unto David arise and passed quickly over the water get across the Jordan for thus have a hit the fell counseled against you although hit the fells council was defeated did not take any chances there's war in trouble on the horizon so David get across the Jordan where you can and gather your troops those who would come out of Israel to support him verse 22 then David arose and all the people that were with him and they passed over Jordan by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan all safely across the Jordan and all accounted for now this is a lot of covert activity going on now if you know the enemy's plan it promises victory I might ask you do you know the enemy's plan do you know Satan's plan knowing that plan promises the victory and when you do things God's Way verse 23 and when I hit the fell saw that his counsel was not followed he saddled his ass and arose and got him home to his house in guile Oh to his city and put his household in order and hanged himself and died and was buried in the Sepulcher of his father I think at this point I hit the fell realized that David was not going to be defeated that David would return to Jerusalem and hit the fell would not have a place in David's cabinet any longer in fact is I hid the fell wouldn't have a safe place to hide from David so how will all this

god bless you Pastor Dennis well absolutely and god bless you as well Antonio for for what you do in caring for that friend being a caretaker is of someone in need is definitely a righteous act people who are caretakers it's a very stressful situation oftentimes and they get so involved with taking care of the one they're caring for that they forget to take care of themselves sometimes and very hard work and it's very much needed work though and yes it is a righteous act Jeanne in Pennsylvania should I pray to God before I eat first Timothy chapter four verses three four we should receive meets that God has created to be received with Thanksgiving that means to thank the Lord and I love going to a restaurant and seeing a family put their cell phones down long enough to join hands and pray before they partake of a meal they're not Christians who are ashamed to be seen praying Edward in Michigan is the Antichrist coming back disguised as Jesus and will the Antichrist be coming back in the east clouds like Jesus will I don't have a clue what you're talking about the east clouds but in Revelation chapter 6 verse 1 in the following verses we learned there that the Antichrist arrives on a white horse guess who else returns on a white horse Revelation chapter 19 Jesus Christ he's a fake he's gonna do the best he can to make everyone think that he's Jesus just like Absalom tried to make everyone think he was the king of Israel 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 through 4 Jesus will not return until there's first a great falling away that's an apostasy and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition who opposeth and exalteth above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that He is God yes he comes back first are you ready Kathleen and Michigan this is a silly question but does the Bible say anything about black sheep I enjoy the program greatly and in a matter of fact it does say a little bit about black sheep in Genesis chapter 30 verse 31 in the following verse Jacob was a very good husband dreaming he was a good rancher he was a new livestock very well and it states there that the Laban asked Jacob what can I pay you and Jacob said well I'll take of all your herds the speckled and spotted cattle and goats and the brown sheep that word brown in the Hebrew is Combe and it means blackish and then what Jacob did he went down by the watering hole and he built a temporary fence a Corral if you will and he put mail speckled cattle and goats and mail brown sheep close to the watering hole so that when the other livestock came to get water if one of the females should be in heat he made sure that there was a male speckled cattle or goat or a brown sheep there to take care of business guess what that made a lot more speckled cattle and she goats and a lot more black sheep Jacob was wise ray from Washington my question the Virgin Mary was married to Joseph and she had Jesus but reading the drama of the lost disciples in the Bible I can't find when he died and what happened to him I do find where Joseph of Arimathea Mary's uncle and Jesus great-uncle became the legal guardian of the family he was the kinsman redeemer he went to the Romans to claim the body of Christ after the crucifixion is there anywhere in the Bible that tells of Mary's husband Joseph's death or how he died no it's not written it's thought that he died when Jesus was probably at a fairly young age because it was Joseph of Arimathea his great uncle that Jesus there historically recorded that they went to blastin berry England where Joseph of Arimathea was known as the tin man the metal tin Randy in New Mexico how close do you think we are getting to the arrival of the Antichrist well we are in the fig tree generation there is no question about that one of the Passover messages for 2017 was a message entitled get ready and I tell you beloved we had better be ready everything will happen on God's schedule but we are in that the the fig tree generation it's going to come to pass before this generation expires Dale in Georgia what are your thoughts on the solar eclipse coming up the fact that it crosses the entire United States is there a prophetic reason watch Watchmen watch and in Tennessee please explain both sides of the Gulf okay and you'll find the Gulf and the King James Version Bible in Luke chapter 16 and on the one side of the Gulf you find Abraham I referred to that as the good side of the Gulf Lazzara thin that in Luke 16 wound up on the good side of the Gulf and was in Abraham's bosom there was a rich man on the other hand that went to the other side of the Gulf and it's important to understand Luke the book of Luke Luke was a physician a medical doctor and he used terminology that was unique to the medic medical world and this word golf is a medical term it means an in unpassable crevasse and that's the way it is right now you can't cross from one side of the Gulf to the other at this point in time second esdras if you have an Apocrypha look up second esdras chapter 7 verse 77 and it gives even more details about how unpleasant it is on the wrong side of the Gulf Robin in Texas my sister passed away and the pastor teaches our righteous acts weave together our clothes in heaven if I get to heaven and my sister is naked I don't know if I would want to see that if this is the case can I share my clothes with my sister while sisters are known to share and swap clothes in the flesh but I don't think it will be allowed in for us to share and swap clothing in our spiritual bodies you see what you earn is what you've got and in Revelation chapter 14 verse 13 it states there that your works go with you that's the only thing when you die that goes with you is your works whether good bad or ugly your works go with you and we're going to be judged on our works Revelation chapter 20 when that great white throne judgment comes to pass you can't swap a righteous clothing act and fool God you're going to be judged on your works Thomas in North Carolina I hear you talk about trumps seals and vials what are these which comes first okay well Trump's and there are seven of them and you'll find them in Matthew 24 also in mark 13 they are in chronological order the first one comes first the seventh one comes last seals on the other hand you'll find in chapter six of the book of Revelation they are not in chronological order but they're in the order of importance the first one I mentioned earlier is and where the Antichrist comes back on a white horse the vials you'll find in Revelation chapter 16 which I think those are controlled by the two witnesses the two witnesses are going to have supernatural powers you might want to order CD three zero four six two seven seals seven trumpets and Arkansas I've never heard this question I know Satan comes first acting like Jesus Christ it says it will be like the days of Noah question-how oh I'm having trouble with your writing how will we be able to know the Fallen Angels that come with Satan Matthew chapter 7 verse 20 by their fruits you shall know them you follow I know to have Christ over my head meaning in my heart my friend who is also a member has grandchildren how does she protect them she only has so much influence in that area well utilize that influence that she has to teach them you know everyone is responsible for their own works but I know how parents and grandparents are or they want to guide their children and their grandchildren but do what you can plant seeds teach them use that influence that you have Carolyn and Oregon I'm having a hard time being happy in these last days of the Second Earth age is that a sin people are so rude nowadays times are much different than what they used to believe used to be please tell me what to do well I know what you mean it it seems that we live a generation that even our congressmen have lost all sense of common courtesy I'd pray for our lost brothers and sisters I do pray for our lost brothers and sisters but also know that this generation we have those third of God's children who followed Satan in the first Earth Age it's only fair that they would be here when the Antichrist comes back to see will they follow Satan again I'll leave you with one scripture Carolyn and others as well Nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 the joy of the Lord is our strength and when the world seems like it's going to hell in a fruit basket and I like I said I I can't appreciate what you're saying I know I feel the same way sometimes know that the joy of the Lord is our strength take joy in him Elizabeth from Missouri haven't we been in the end times since Christ's crucifixion and if you have repented and love God and are baptized why worry about the end I personally do not want to see the end of man that for me is too sad all the self-destruction and lack of faith well there isn't going to be an in man other than in the flesh you see when this earth age comes to a close another one begins and when that seventh trumpet sounds and Jesus Christ returns there will be no more flesh from that time on no as far as why worried that's that's a good question Jesus teaching in Matthew chapter 6 verse 25 in the following verses he says you know there's nothing to worry about the end is the end of this age and as what the point I'm trying to get to but Jesus teaches in 625 and the following verses which of you by taking thought by worrying in other words can add one cubit to your stature which means which of you by worry can add one day to your life in fact is those who are worried warts probably shorten their lives because they send so much spend so much time worrying 90% of what people worry about never comes to pass anyway Liz and Alabama how do I address a situation where my son is hanging out with his gay friend when I don't want to judge him well teach your son that homosexuality is an abomination to God Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22 Leviticus chapter 20 verse 13 teachers son that if you want God's blessings in his life that you try and be pleasing to God to do things his way Leviticus 26 Deuteronomy 28 we find that God can bless if we do things his way he can curse if we don't do things his way Denise in Michigan please explain Genesis chapter 3 verses 14 through 19 I don't understand the part of verse 15 about him between thee and the woman thank you so much for your teaching you're welcome the first prophecy of the Bible you'll find there in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 and what's happening there is God is dressing down the Serpent and Eve for what they did in the Garden of Eden they had sexual intercourse and she conceived verse 16 makes that adamantly clear what God says in in in chapter 3 verse 15 of Genesis is that I will put enmity which means hostility between your seed the serpent seed and the seed of the woman which is Jesus Christ and it the the seed of the woman will bruise your head speaking to serpent that's in the future and the serpent seed will bruise the heel of Jesus certainly did when they nailed his heels to the cross and crucified him Clarence and Virginia peace be with you and your staff peace to you as well I was brought up in churches where Ridge runners and stump jumpers would use the same message to scare young people into church I am so thankful for your in-depth teaching it's overloaded my donkey a couple of times but I unload the donkey and went back for more I unload the donkey and come back for more if you have lost faith in man's elephant or donkey tried the lamb that's good advice I like that if you have lost faith in man's elephant or donkey try the lamb question did the elders of the Hebrews keep genealogy and miracles recorded on their staffs their walking sticks and handed them down from generation to generation is there scripture on this if possible please answer this on the broad cast the recording of events on a staff or a walking stick just is not biblical as far as scribes go first chronicles chapter 2 verse 55 the Kenites had worked their way in as scribes for the tribe of Judah early on Denis in California thank you and all your volunteers and staff I watched your program every day and you have helped me so much my question is this pastor Arnold always said that we will have to be judged by God at the end of the thousand years but in John 5:22 it says for father judgeth no man but hath committed all judgment unto the son please explain john 5:30 the words of jesus my judgment is just because I seek not mine own will but the will of my father Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14 a virgin will conceive and you'll call his name Emmanuel which means God with us Jesus was God with us saying that God is the judge and Jesus as the judge is saying the same thing Bob in California and Bob I am out of time I promise you'll be a first thing in our next lecture I do love you all a great deal why because you do enjoy studying God's Word yeah your donkey gets loaded every once in a while but you unload your donkey and you come back for more that's
