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 Leviticus chapter 26 verse 30 we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you care to chapter 26 of Leviticus the blessings and cursings of God the first several verses of chapter 26 we learned that if we do things God's Way that we'll have plenty to eat that we won't have to be afraid of our enemies and then we learn though that if you don't do things God's Way there were four levels of chastisement we made it to the fourth level as we ended our last lecture and from going from the blessings of God that you would have plenty to eat in the fourth level of cursings it was prophesied that you would eat your own children that happened in verse 29 the prophecy it came to pass in 2nd Kings chapter 6 28 and 29 under King Jehoram king of Israel we're gonna finish the Book of Leviticus today so we better hit the ground running let's ask that word of wisdom and Yeshua's precious name father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day Leviticus 26 verse 30 and it reads and I the Lord speaking will destroy your high places these would be unlawful places of worship of Jehovah or places of worship of other gods small gene and cut down your images Tamar in the Hebrew your son pillars which were Canaanite ease nature worship and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols and my soul shall abour you the latter came to part came to pass under josiah king of judah prophesied hundreds of years before his birth second chronicles chapter 34 verse 3 he cleaned house in judah and got rid of the places of idol worship he burned the bones of the priests of the idol worshippers on their altars desecrating them where people wouldn't use them verse 31 and I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation and when I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours I will take no pleasure in your burnt offerings don't don't bother offering sacrifices to me when you're worshiping other gods verse 32 and I will bring the land into desolation and your enemies which dwell therein shall be a stunning at it they'll say to themselves is this the promised land that that God brought these people out of Egypt out of bondage and gave it to them and they'll be astonished they'll be amazed at what happened to the people of Israel verse 33 and I will scatter you among the heathen boy has that come to pass his people the ten northern tribes in particular have been scattered to the four winds of the earth and will draw out a sword after you and your land shall be desolate in your cities wastes in Ezekiel chapter 5 verse 12 God states there the if you don't straighten up one third of you will die of the famine one third of you will die by the sword the third of you that's left I'm going to scatter from one end of the earth to the other verse 34 then shall the land enjoy her Sabbath's as long as it lieth desolate and you be in your enemy's land you're going to be in captivity to the Babylonians even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbath's and I think the failure of the people of Israel to observe the sabbatical years every seventh year we learned in a previous chapter of Leviticus that the land was to rest he worked to plant any crops you weren't to reap anything that came up of its own and States in second chronicles chapter 36 verse 21 that seventy years would judah be in captivity to the king of babylon for the number of years that they failed to let the land rest what this is saying is that the land will rest and make up for lost time because you're not going to be in the promised land you're going to be in captivity to the Babylonians verse 35 as long as it lieth desolate it shall rest because it did not rest in your Sabbath's when you dwelt upon it you didn't follow my instructions God speaking I told you to not plant any crops the seventh year and that was to happen every seventh year they did not observe his instructions 36 and upon them that are left alive ever fewer and fewer survivors of you I will send a faintness into your hearts I want to cause your back bones to turn to mush I'm gonna make cowards out of you in the lands of their enemies and the sound of a shaking leaf shall chase them and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword and they shall fall when none pursue earth no rest as compared to in contrast to verse 6 I will give them peace and you will lie down in green pastures no peace no peace of mind when you don't do things God's Way also in contrast we have in verse 8 if you do things God's Way five of you will put a hundred of the enemy to flight a hundred of you will put ten thousand of the enemy to flight if you're doing things God's Way God's fighting with you and you have the victory on the other hand if you don't do things his way the sound of a rustling leaf will threaten you and your run when no one pursues no backbone whatsoever Ezekiel 21 7 we have prophecy there of the sword of Satan verse 37 and they shall fall one upon another as it were before a sword when none pursue it and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies you know there are many who won't have power to stand before our enemies Satan in fact as many of them are going to be worshiping him when he appears as the Anti Christ those of you who have backbone will stand those of you who know to have the gospel armor so that you can stand against the fiery darts of Satan verse 38 and you shall perish among the heathen and the land of your enemies shall eat you up doesn't sound like God's blessings there at all does it 39 and they that are left of you ever fewer and fewer shall pine away this means to to rot or mould away in their iniquity that's their sins in your enemies lands and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them now we come to the part that if even after all this that the people will turn their hearts back toward God he'll forgive them and he'll gather them back home verse 40 if that's a little word that means a lot it's a big condition if they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers with their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me if they'll realize that the punishment that's come upon them is from Yahweh and that they deserved it because of their actions 41 and that I also have walked contrary unto them and have brought them into the land of their enemies if then their uncircumcised Lass's unsanctified hearts be humbled and they then except of the punishment of their iniquity humiliation of the heart resulting from the confession verse 42 then well I remember my covenant with Jacob and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember and I will remember the land but only after confession and humbling of the heart do you think God forgot his covenant with Jacob or with Isaac or with Abraham of course he didn't forget this verse says I will remember but what he's saying is you people broke the covenant the contract and therefore that released me from the contract but if you will repent and return with me to me with you all your heart then I will remember the Covenant that I made with Jacob Isaac and Abraham verse 43 the land also shall be left of them and shall enjoy her Sabbath's while she lieth desolate without them the why their because they're not going to be there they're gonna be in the the land of Babylon and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity because even because they despised my judgments and because their soul abhorred my statutes and part of obtaining forgiveness from God is willingness to accept the punishment the chastisement and always remember when you're chastised Hebrews chapter 12 verse 6 in the following verses God only chastises those that he loves but because their soul abhorred my statutes you their souls rejected his law and accepted the law of the heathen 44 and yet for all that when they be in the land of their enemies I will not cast them away neither will I abhorred them to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them for I am the Lord their God the ever unchangeable faithful one he keeps his promises he's he's he's incapable of lying he's incapable of breaking promises as long as we meet the conditions when there are conditions 45 but I will for their sakes remember the Covenant of their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I might be their God I am the I'll renew that covenant if they will turn back to me I'll gather them back home out of the land of the heathen 46 these are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount sinai by the hand of Moses and there you have the cyanotic law the law that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai chapter 27 is more or less an addendum to the previous chapters of The Book of Leviticus what we're going to be talking about is directions concerning vows vows which were freewill offerings they weren't required but once you they're not required but once you make a vow you better well keep it Deuteronomy 23 verses 22 and 23 state that it is not a sin not to make a vow and I discourage people from making vows because once as I said once you make a vow you better well keep it because that is a sin to break a vow to God whereas not to make a vow is not a sin let's go with chapter 27 verse 1 and the Lord speaking to Moses saying verse 2 speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them when a man shall make a singular this is a special vow the person shall be for the Lord by thy estimation verses 2 through 8 are going to be talking about the vowing of persons people Israelites could not sell themselves into slavery a vow the purpose of it was to they have the priests estimate the value and then the money Redemption money was collected and given to the tabernacle but people had to be redeemed there was no alternative a person could bow themself that could vow someone who was under their control such as a child or a slave this word vow in the Hebrew was Nader and it's a promise to God and when you make a promise to God you need to keep it verse 3 and the estimation shall be of the male from 20 years old even unto 60 years old even thou shalt be fifty shekels of silver after the shekel of the sanctuary there was also a shekel of the king as opposed to the shekel of the sanctuary now vows were made for several reasons it could have been to avoid something negative such as danger or distress or it could be made in an effort to obtain a favor from God something a material possession for example someone might say God if you will see that I'm able to obtain such-and-such I promise that I will do this and that for it so but again it's a promise to God verse 4 and if it be a female then the estimation shall be 30 shekels and this would be a female between the ages of 20 and 60 now we note that there's a difference between the male and the female some scholars point out that the valuation price was regulated by the capacity of the person vigor of life the male seen by some scholars being the stronger I'll go along with those that the male is usually physically stronger than a woman but when it comes to emotional spiritual strength I'll put my side with the ladies on that one ladies are much tougher than men emotionally and spiritually women are always the hardest workers in any organization verse five and if it be or if the person be better from five years old even into twenty years old then the estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels and the lesser the age the lesser the estimated valuation and again the purpose of establishing this was this was money that if someone bowed one of their sons who was between the ages of five years old and 20 years old he would be required to pay twenty shekels of silver to the sanctuary and this of course was for the maintenance of the sanctuary the sustenance of the priest and so forth verse six and if it be from a month old even unto five years old we're talking infants here then the estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver and for the female by estimation shall be three shekels of silver and once again a person there was no alternative to redeeming them that a person who was vowed had to be reteamed and of course the redemption money went to the sanctuary as Corbin or a gift if you will verse seven and if it be from sixty years old and above if it be a male then the estimation shall be 15 shekels and for the female ten shekels and the only purpose again for the valuation was setting the redemption that was required verse 8 but if he the person that made the vow be poorer than by estimation then he shall present himself before the priest and the priest shall value him according to his ability that vowed all the priests value him and according to what his hand could raise this similar situation came back up in chapter 5 when the trespass offerings there were several alternative animals that were suitable for a trespass offering which one was required was determined by what the person could afford verse 9 and if it be a beast in other words the bow was of a beast an animal we switched gears here we're of men bring an offering unto the Lord in other words clean animals all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy and this implies no redemption that these were to be sacrificed unless they were blemished and if they had a blemish then they would be given to the priest for their use verse 8 he shall not alter it nor change it a good for a bad or a bad for a good and if he shall at all change beasts for beasts then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy in other words if you vowed a certain ox and then when it came time to pay up you said whoa wait a minute that ox is a lot healthier than this little scrub back here I'm on a studio switcheroo and give the scrub to the Lord you couldn't do that if you got caught you you not only gave the original ox that you vowed you also gave the scrub that you tried to switch verse 11 and if it be any unclean beast now we switch gears again notice we're talking about unclean beasts now of which they do not offer a sacrifice under the Lord it would be an abomination to offer an ass for example an unclean animal then he shall present the Beast before the priests and again only clean animals could be sacrificed to the Lord the others what happened to them follows verse 12 and the priest shall value it whether it be good or bad this kind of loses it in the translation what this is saying is the priest won't set a high value or a low value but an average value as now value stood who are the priests so shall it be and these would then be sold for the benefit of the sanctuary and verse 13 but if he the the owner will at all redeem it then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation and what this is if he says okay well I don't want to sell the ass then he would have to give not only the estimated price but a fifth part 20% which back under the trespass offerings and Channel five in Chapter five you have the same situation when someone trespassed against man or the Lord not only did they have to repay what they had had shorted the person or God they had to add 20% verse 14 and when a man shall sanctify or vow his house to be holy unto the Lord then the priest shall estimate it whether it be good or bad in other words he again he he won't over value it or undervalue it but take the average value as the priest shall estimate so shall it stand verse 15 and if he this being the owner of the house that vowed it that sanctified or vowed it will redeem his house then he shall had a fifth part of the money of the estimation unto it and it shall be his if not soul for the good of the sanctuary if he didn't redeem it but if he redeemed it he had to give the value plus 20% now we're gonna be talking about redemption of land that's bowed and there are two standards established one the first that we'll be covering is for inherited land the second which will be for the purchase of land or actually the produce purchased from land not the land being sold that'll begin in verse 20 to 16 and if a man will sanctify or vows what this means under the Lord some part of a field of his possession then the estimation shall be according to the seed thereof an omer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver and this is a little difficult to understand we're not talking about that the land that could produce an omer of barley seed what we're talking about is that sowing time that it would take an omer to seed this much land an omer by the way according to bullinger approximately eight bushels so that's quite a bit of planting seed and this proudness fifty shekels of that would be if the land had been vowed for the entire fifty years between jubilee it is possible that someone bout it for less than the fifty years as we'll see in a moment verse 17 if he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee a according to the estimation it shall stand there'll be no need for adjustment in other words vowing the land for 50 years you paid 50 shekels of silver for each section of land that it would require one omer of barley seed to plant verse 18 but if he sanctify his field after the jubilee then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain even unto the year of Jubilee and it shall be abated or reduced from the estimation in other words if it were 30 years until the next Jubilee and someone vowed their land then they would own oath 30 shekels rather than 50 shekels of silver for the land that would be would require one over of barley seed to plant verse 19 and if he that sanctifies the field or vows the field will in any wise redeem it then he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation unto it and it shall be assured to him in other words that he'll be okay for him to use the land again but again if you vowed it you owed it to God and to take it back was a violation or a transgression against the Lord which required that you give a fifth part 20% in addition to the amount that was valued at verse 20 and if he will not redeem the field in other words by the next Jubilee or if he have sold the field to another man and one not in his family it shall not be redeemed any more it could not be redeemed and because failure to redeem would result in the forfeiture of the land 21 but the field when it goeth out in the Jubilee in other words when it becomes free again at the year of Jubilee shall be holy unto the Lord as a field devoted the possession thereof shall be the priest that will be treated as their property from that point on this word devoted we'll be talking more about it when we get to verse 28 verse 22 and if a man sanctify or vow unto the Lord a field which he hath bought which is not of the field of his possession now we go to that second standard in other words if he had purchased the produce from someone else's land then that's what we're talking about here and then he makes a vow on that land 23 then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of the estimation even unto the year of Jubilee and he shall give 9 estimation in that day as a holy thing unto the Lord immediately and all at once would it be due 24 in the year of Jubilee the field shall return unto Him of whom it was bought the original owner the year of Jubilee everything set back the way God established it even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong as we covered in chapter 25 verses 23 through 28 verse 25 and all the estimation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary again as opposed to the shekel of the king 20 garras shall be the shekel a gira could be translated a colonel ke r ne L or a coin even so basically the the shekel you would be wrong to think of it as a single coin it was made up of twenty gira whether you want to call them kernels of silver or coins of silver it was by weight in other words 26 now and we're gonna be talking about things that you cannot bow to the Lord 26 only the first leg or the firstborn of the Beast which should be the Lord's first leg no man shall sanctify it no man shall bow it whether it be ox or sheep it is the Lord's you can't bow to the Lord that already belongs to him that makes no sense at all 27 and if it be that's this being the firstborn of an unclean beast then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation and shall add a fifth part of it there - 20 percent or if it be not redeemed then it shall be sold according to the estimation and when it says thigh it's talking about Moses at first and then when Aaron became the high priest it became the responsibility of the high priests to establish the valuation now this law is was given earlier of how a unclean firstborn was to be treated make a note of Exodus chapter 13 verse 13 and Exodus 34 20 where it states that if an unclean firstborn animal were not redeemed plus a fifth part the valuation plus 20% then the animal's neck was to be broken this modification to the law much to the benefit of the sanctuary selling and unclean firstborn to a foreigner would be much more beneficial to the sanctuary than breaking the animal's neck obviously 28 we switch gears once again notwithstanding no devoted thing that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath both of man and beast and of the field of his possession shall be sold or redeemed every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord irrevocable and unredeemable now what we're talking about here is our things that are banned normally this would apply to something that had been associated with idolatrous worship a book of Durrant Deuteronomy when Israel moved into the promised land there were incidences that God put a total ban on a city and nothing was to be spared the people were killed the animals were killed that's what this is talking about a devoted thing the Hebrew word for devoted Karim it's something that's doomed its it applies to things that should have already been destroyed in other words you can't bow that should have already been destroyed verse 29 nun devoted which shall be devoted of men shall be redeemed but shall surely be put to death and this would be carried out by the leaders of the community whether it be of man beasts or land pertained again to idolatrous worship verse 30 and all the tithe this word is the first time in the King James Version Bible that the word tithe appears its mass are in the Hebrew it means a tenth of the land whether of the seed of the land the the produce of the land the crop or of the fruit of the tree the grapes or the olives I should say in the case of trees grapes for the vine is the Lord's it is holy unto the Lord you cannot vow something that is part of your tithe it's already belongs to the Lord by law and if a man will it all redeem art of his tithe he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof in other words it was legal for someone to purchase their tithes back what would be an instance that one might do that well let's say he's given oil olive oil and the price of olive oil has gone up tremendously this last year so if he could buy the olive oil back for what it was valued at for the tithe and then had and pay 20% penalty and still sell it for more than that it would be advantageous and I'm throwing hypotheticals out but I was just trying to think to myself why would somebody do that that is a reason 32 and concerning the tithe of the herd or of the flock even of whatsoever passeth under the rod the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord and at this time a Shepherd would stand with his rod and as his helpers would drive the herds or the flocks by him he would literally pass his rod over each individual animal as he counted them and every tenth animal was to be his tithe to the Lord if someone for example well let's you know let's go to the next verse and then I'll explain verse 33 he shall not search whether it be good or bad neither shall he change it and if he changed it at all then both it and the change thereof shall be holy it shall not be redeemed in other words the Shepherd that's passing his rod over the livestock if they go by if he counts - if he looks up the line and he sees a really really good one and it's going to be the 10th one and he goes seven eight nine nine and a half ten I you couldn't do that in that case the good one nine and a half and ten were to be the Lords if he got caught verse 34 these are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel out Mount Sinai and this being the conclusion by which chapter 27 is attached to the law given at Mount Sinai the Book of Leviticus God telling his people how they were to worship him God teaching his children the difference between clean and unclean the difference between holy and unholy in chapter 26 taught us that if we do things his way we receive his blessings if we don't do things his way we receive his cursings but there

some questions and see what's on the mind of folks were this is a lengthy one to start off with Elizabeth in Maine thank you for the many blessings you send us through your ministry by staying the word my name is Elizabeth my question how would I answer a co-worker that is aggravated by people that go through life not knowing or caring about father but at the last minute before they pass on pray for salvation she thinks it is not fair that the rest of us try our best every day and night to do the right thing I don't know how to go about answering her because I love father and I would and I'm going to cut the question off there but what we do is have her read Matthew chapter 20 starting with verse 1 through 16 and we learned there that a certain householder the householder is God because Jesus starts off by saying the kingdom of heaven is like and this is what the kingdom of heaven is like this householder went out early in the morning and hired day laborers and he agreed for them to work and in his land all day and he would pay them a penny he went back out midday and hired some more he went back out and hired some more just almost at quitting time and he paid them all a penny as well and the ones that worked all day by the sweat of their brow kind of started complaining and said hey how come those who worked just an hour getting the same thing that I got for working all day and the Lord said hey I've done you no wrong I paid you what I promised you and you know someone who feels the way that your friend does Elizabeth a little concerned about their compassion I mean the angels in heaven rejoice when someone finds their way your friend doesn't rejoice she thinks it's wrong that someone found their way and just because it was in the last hour before they passed away again I question her compassion Dennis from Missouri and thank you for your kind comments Dennis my question Joshua 24 the flood in verses 2 3 14 and 15 is this Noah's Flood or is this talking about the Euphrates River or is it talking about serving other gods the flood of Lies question the flood discussed there in Joshua is the Euphrates River okay that verse 15 there in Joshua 24 one of my favorite scriptures quit saying it's my favorite but it's one of my favorite Joshua there said you know if it did I'm paraphrasing Joshua said you know if it's seen evil to you to serve the Lord Yahweh and choose you out another god of the gods of the heathens but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord tanja in Texas pastor Dennis I like the way you and your father teach a lot of us believed the Bible but we don't understand the Bible thanks for the thorough teaching I bet I would have learned algebra if my teachers talked the way you all do well I bet you were too learned algebra too if you didn't we've got the two before out William in Virginia it seems that whenever I decided to fast I get a dinner invitation oh my what a what a quandary should I decline the invitation and continue to fast or should I decline without explaining why or should I accept without mentioning the fast should you ever mention a fast I want to please God but I hate to miss a free meal as well okay boy I'm with you William to the best of my knowledge that detailed instructions for fasting you're not going to find them in the Bible the word fast is certainly in God's Word I think of the word more as humbling yourself or afflicting yourself before the Lord I personally don't fast and I would advise anyone who decides too fast that you consult a physician before doing so make sure that your your health is up to a fast Mike in California excuse me my question is I know Jesus loves us all and God tells so many things when I go to him in prayer and reading my Bible daily yet I can't help but wonder about Down syndrome children who simply can't read the Bible are they saved absolutely Down syndrome children others who are are handicapped God understands that they're not capable of reading they are beautifully innocent they are will be in the kingdom Ardi from early I believe it is the AR t IE from North Carolina that's what it looks like I hope I'm pronouncing your name right I enjoy watching you mornings on channel 2 that's the only channel I get you on ok I enjoy the monthly newsletter well we're glad you enjoy the newsletter we've been getting a lot of positive comments about our monthly newsletter lately and we're glad so many of you look forward to that Bible study I would like to know why do I thank think of my past all the time it worries me very much thinking or thank you for the newsletter you're welcome we all have memories of the past early and and we usually treasure you know memories of family of good times if on the other hand you're talking about you continue to think about bad things that you have done in the past that's problematic and and what that indicates to me is if you are asking God's forgiveness for the bad things that you've done in the past and he's forgiven you if you if you repent it and ask for forgiveness but if you keep bringing them up and thinking about them that's as though you doubted that God forgave you and I think you're forgetting to for give yourself that's one of the most important things about forgiveness is remembering to forgive yourself Christians are conscientious people we oftentimes think you know boy I can't believe I messed up that bad I sure didn't mean to and then you start beating yourself up and you blow I'll tell you Satan I'll jump right in there and help you beat yourself up if you allow him to ask for God's forgiveness repent and then get on with your life don't keep bringing up the bad thoughts and bad things if you're talking about good times that you have memories of enjoy them guy in California how would you become an ordained pastor I have studied with shepherd's chapel since 1992 I have a good recall of verses well guy we do not offer ordination for students of shepherd's chapel because we can't be responsible for what they're teaching all across the country that isn't to discourage you Lord knows we need more Bible teachers the more the better if you are led to teach seek out other means of being ordained and there are plenty of other means of being ordained out there but we have chosen not to start ordination because again we can't be responsible for what people are teaching that we can't hear what they're teaching Maria in Minnesota very troubled my daughter and you mentioned her name is gay now she has a wedding date set I am heartbroken my daughter knows how I feel that it it is an abomination to God but she wants me to be there at her wedding I don't know what to do can you help me well pray about it and ask God's counsel he has the best counsel you know available your daughter Marie will always be your daughter regardless of how you choose to handle the wedding invitation Sharon in Virginia where in the bible does it say you will be known as you are known as in family friends etc I believe I heard the pastor say this was located in the millennium ezekiel chapter 44 verse 25 where these a doc the elect will be serving with jesus christ in the Millennial temple and if one of their immediate family members failed to participate in the first resurrection of Revelation chapter 20 verses 4 & 5 the Zadok can leave the Millennial temple and try to help their immediate family member talk some sense into them and obviously they'd have to know them in order to go to them you see we're all in spiritual bodies from Ezekiel chapter 42 the end Brunell in Minnesota why do we need the leaves for healing when we have Jesus Christ Revelation chapter 22 verse 2 let me ask you where do the leaves come from the leaves come from the tree of life and I hope you know the tree of life who was in the Garden of Eden in Genesis is Jesus Christ and Rick in Tennessee given that Satan once held an esteemed role in service to God and started it out presumably good he was a cherub that protected the mercy seat Ezekiel chapter 28 do you think there could arise a new evil entity that is against God in the eternity the third age after Satan and his followers have been blotted out that's an interesting question if Satan started out good and turned what's to keep someone from that after the Eternity and the lake of fire is done away with then what's to keep someone else who is good from turning bad I guess I would answer that that the answer is found in Revelation chapter 22 verses three four and five which is in the eternity and it states there the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it and his servants shall serve Him verse five they will reign forever and ever if someone goes bad God in the lamb are in charge and they will know what to do be a and Arkansas is the Old Testament relevant oh boy is the Old Testament relevant thou shalt not steal do you think that's not revelant relevant today when we learned that in the Old Testament Exodus chapter 20 Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 and 18 Jesus said I come not to change one jot that's the smallest Hebrew letter that looks like a comma in English or tittle a tittle is an ornamental dot that changes the sound of a Hebrew letter but he who commits kills and the law says thou shalt not kill that's to do murder that is very relevant you follow with another question why did the Lord God who formed us out of the ground every beast of the field and every fowl of the air bring them to Adam to see what he would call them Genesis chapter 2 verse 15 God put Adam in charge of the Garden of Eden that he gave him the right to name David from Georgia I'm writing to ask you a question I used to be a homosexual I did not know it was an abomination until I started studying with the chapel can I be forgiven if it's an abomination unto God I asked God for help and he helped me I no longer do those things I used to your dad said because God would help me if I asked him to overcome and he helped me I did this is why I stay with the chapel I hope someday I can get to meet you pastor Dennis I miss pastor Arnold but I still enjoy his teachings I know it's the truth homosexuality is not the unforgivable sin David you are in good shape you've changed your life you found God you've repented I'm sure and asked for forgiveness go forth and be productive for the Lord again I want to thank you all for inviting me into your homes over the last several weeks it's an honor that you do so and again I'll never take it
