you're not able to follow it I will encourage you to either get the videos get the message or something but make sure you find it because it was quite some foundation and exciting time of study let's examine quickly Jesus is teaching from the beginning Jesus is teaching from the beginning now when Jesus responded today accuse accusing Pharisees about marriage he points their attention away from marriage to the very reason for which it was risen for the very reason for which it was written in other words marriage in Genesis chapter 2 was a parable marriage in Genesis chapter 2 was a parable look at Matthew chapter 19 verse number 3 Matthew chapter 90 in verse number 3 he to verse 5 the Pharisees also came unto Him tempting him and saying unto Him is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause Maximas and he answered and said unto them have you not read an aggie no school have you not read that is have you not carefully read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female next verse and he said for this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and the twain shall be one flesh and the twain shall be one flesh so Jesus quoted from the book of Genesis and particularly the first three chapters of the book of Genesis observe Jesus's words what dear for God has joined together let no man put asunder this statement is a summary not a direct quote from Genesis is a summary all right Jesus was explaining the very reason for the parable in Genesis chapter 2 please pay attention that what God has joined together is not a particular man and woman but marriage the word marriage was used three times in the Epistle from the Greek word vamos vamos q a MOS a noun the verb is a mu a QA M yo for those of you making notes the the word is Cuomo's QA M OS a noun and the verb of the word Cuomo's is cute a m EO in the Greek it means to be with another marriage to be with another or to be joined to another the word vamos was used in hebrews chapter 13 verse 4 hebrews chapter 13 verse number 4 hebrews chapter 13 verse 4 marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge you will see the use of the word again in Revelation chapter 19 verse 7 Revelation chapter 19 verse number 7 let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him for the marriage of the lamb is come and his wife had made herself ready marriage Revelation chapter 19 verse 9 Revelation chapter 19 verse 9 and he said unto me write blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the lamb and he saith unto me these are the true sayings of God the quotation then or the question then is what Mary is being referred to in this context brother Paul will explain what marriage you was talking about in his letter to Ephesus efficient of the five verse 23 to 25 Ephesians chapter 5 verses 23 to 25 for the husband is a head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church and is a savior of the body next verse therefore as the church is subject unto Christ so other wives or so let the wives be to their own husband's in everything next verse husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it particular attention should be paid to Paul's use of physical marriage as a mirror the physical marriage was designed to be a mirror to Christ and the church because if you look at Ephesians chapter 5 verse 32 it will come handy not efficient stop the 5 verse 32 this is a great mystery but I speak concerning Christ and the church I speak concerning Christ at the church so in other words Genesis chapter 2 verse 24 refers to the inseparable marriage of Christ and the church the inseparable marriage of Christ and the church natural marriage is only used as a mirror of that that is what is available in Genesis so this explains Jesus's use of the term from the beginning it was not so from the beginning it was not so God's marriage is an inseparable union but look at Matthew 19 verse 7 pay attention Matthew 19 verse 7 they said unto him why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her away next he saith unto them Moses because of the hardness of your hearts because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives but from the beginning it was not so meaning that whatever Moses commanded them to do apart from what was from the beginning was not in the beginning Moses allowed them because of the hardness of their hearts skeller scleral code khadiyah sclera katya is a greek because of the hardness of their hearts a word used for unbelief for this reason what they did not believe is in god's faithfulness so since they didn't believe in God's faithfulness Moses permitted them to put away their wives which is not a reflection of what was in the beginning which is goz union with the chart which is inseparable for them to believe there must have been a message preached which they did not believe so Moses in his writings presents the Gospel through the life of Abraham Isaac and Jacob if Moses wrote to them to put away their wives it was because of unbelief unbelief in the gospel Moses therefore must have preached the gospel to them pay attention to the statement socially man leave his father and cleave to his wife and the two shall be one flesh is a promise what believing that statement is the promise of God what believing and also the statement male and female created he them this is a promise about Christ because in Christ there is male and female or male and female will be found in Christ therefore good scriptural reading if you are reading the Scriptures very well good scriptural reading as has been seen with Jesus is a scriptural rhythm that focuses on the promised salvation life light grace over a list again good scriptural women will be seen as Jesus to focus on the promised salvation life light grace which is found in Genesis which is found in Genesis and is not lost in the stories of the characters the ring is found in Genesis and is not lost in the stories of the characters during notice that 1 1 and 1/2 chapters of Genesis account of creation therefore in that creation he says the term like seventh day I used the phrase God rested on the seventh day look at chapter 2 of Genesis verse 3 Genesis chapter 2 verse 3 Genesis chapter 2 verse 3 not exodus Genesis chapter 2 verse number 3 Genesis chapter 2 verse 3 and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made remember the Scriptures were not written in chapters and verses I've told you that before so a good practice in scriptural reading is to read the scriptures in paragraphs you read the scriptures in paragraphs this implies bringing related statements or statements in context together as a paragraph bearing in mind Genesis 2:4 appears to be the beginning of another paragraph so Genesis 2:3 is the end the of chapter 1 in paragraphs look at that Genesis again chapter 2 verse 3 then you see how four begins Genesis chapter 2 verse 3 and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and built then look at verse 4 now these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth does another paragraph altogether the beginning of a new paragraph so that's why you don't read the Bible in chapters and verses you read the Bible for better comprehension and for effective understanding in paragraphs please stay with me now so Genesis 2:4 seems to begin another paragraph explaining again the creation account it summarizes the creation using in the day so there are two terms used to teach creation seven-day and a seventh day and the day by now it should be clear that the day in Scripture as taught by Moses does not necessarily mean 24 hours this is one of Moses's use of figures of speech in communicating his writings particularly Genesis chapter one chapter two chapter three those three chapters of Genesis Moses taught those describing God's race as man's rest God's rest as man's race for example as well 66 verse 1 see the way the prophet Isaiah will make reference in a scripture as they are 66 verse 1 does say of the Lord the heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool where is the house that you build unto me and where is the place of my rest then see the scripture again that Genesis made reference to by by Stephen in acts 747 747 but Solomon built him and house next verse happy eat the most hi do I let not in temples made with hands as saith the prophet 49 heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool what house will you build me saith the Lord or what is the place of my rest remember Solomon built a house for God remember Moses built a house for God remember zerubabbel was also building a house for God yet while all those houses were standing God was still accent where is my house because the most high does not dwell in physical buildings he was making poop he was pointing to the fact that the house that God will live in cannot be built by human hands God Himself will build that house God Himself will build a house where God Himself will living and I have news for you when Jesus was about to die he said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up and they were thinking it was the Temple of Solomon which was beautiful for the six years and they were angry but the Bible says when Jesus died and rose then the disciples understood that the house he was talking about was not a physical structure what he was saying is if you destroy my body in three days I will raise it up so God's house thia form is the born-again man God's house is the believer in Jesus God - and in place God's residence God's place of rest is in man these are the terms Moses used in Genesis chapter one two three which may not be literal but we are used to communicate the message of the gospel please take note if you are making of this the good one to write down he was Moses usually you know figures of speech not literals to communicate the message of the gospel for example he used light and darkness light and darkness in Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 to fall light there was darkness God said let there be light so he uses light and darkness number two he uses waters in Genesis 1:2 what us what us to communicate the gospel number three he uses the seed seed seed in Genesis 111 212 seed in Genesis 111 - 12 then genesis 3:15 the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent so he is using seed to communicate the message of the gospel then he uses three three three in Genesis 1 11 - 12 he uses three to communicate the message of the gospel in figurative speech 3 and you will see it again in Genesis 2:16 2:17 Genesis 2:16 2:17 the Tree of Life the Tree of Life then you will see again in Genesis chapter 3 verse 1 all those were Moses his communication of the gospel using figures of speech he uses fruit fruit to communicate the gospel Genesis 1 11 to 12 fruit and then Genesis 1:29 he uses fruit number 6 he uses cutting garden to communicate the gospel in Genesis chapter 2 verse 9 and 10 Genesis chapter 2 verse 9 and 10 and then Genesis chapter 2 verse 15 to 16 he use garden as a metaphor to communicate the message of the gospel that he uses rivers rivers as a metaphor in Genesis 210 and Genesis 213 214 Genesis 210 and Genesis 213 214 then he uses serpent to communicate the gospel Surf's Up and in Genesis 3 verse 1 to 2 Genesis 3 verse 1 to 2 and verse 14 Genesis 3 verse 1 to 2 and Genesis 3:14 then he uses rests to communicate the gospel rest there remaineth arrest and God rested to communicate the gospel in Genesis chapter 2 verse 2 to 3 Genesis chapter - vas - to tree so Jesus was always correcting the impressions of the Pharisees in the way he taught them he corrected he says you have read that it had been said by them of old an eye for eye tooth for tooth but I say because Jesus came to redefine the character of God Jesus is God redefining his character Jesus is God explaining in exact terms explaining in precise terms they are contradictory character of God Jesus came to you know give us a comprehensive understanding of God first John 5:20 and we know that the Son of God is come and has given us an understanding that we may know him that we may know him that's why Jesus came that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his son Jesus Christ this is the true God and eternal life why will he do that because in John John chapter 1 verse 18 in John chapter 1 verse 18 he says no man had seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he had declared him so the manifestation of Jesus in the Incarnation was to answer all the questions surrounding the personality of God the Queen Jesus showed up in the Incarnation the Incarnation the birth of Christ in the manger was a defining moment concerning the character of God which was misrepresented by people in the Old Testament who never saw God so for the first time God manifested or showed up in humanity in the person of Jesus to redefine all the all the misconceptions concerning the personality of God so he says no one has seen God at any time until the Incarnation the word bosom the only begotten which is in the bosom of the father the word bosom is translated from the Greek word kolpos CK kol POS kolpos it's used for something close to the heart like the breast pocket it refers to something you carry in your heart something you know something that is intimate or something that is close to you kolpos the bosom you will see the use of that word bosom in John 13 23 John 1323 look at it John touching 23 now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples whom Jesus loved the word bosom their shows intimacy it shows intimacy so Jesus is the intimate one with the father oh you see the Father through Jesus or you see Jesus through the father remember I told you because God created all things including man man therefore cannot discover God man cannot discover God because God created him man can only know God by God revealing himself to man man can only know God by God revealing himself to man that is why in the Old Testament in the midst of idol worship worshipping a god they didn't know idolatry worshipping from Mountain to mountain trying to look for a God that they could know facto and in the midst of idol worship God walks to Abraham and says to Abraham I will bless you I will bless those that bless you in you shall all families of the earth be blessed why because man cannot discover God so God will have to reveal himself to me that's what Galatians brother Paul writing says God preached the gospel before to Abraham say the preaching of the gospel was a revelation of God to man not man discovering god but God revealing himself to man and that is why the accurate revelation of God in humanity is in Christ the accurate revelation of God in humanity is in Christ so Jesus is God revealed so Jesus in John 1:18 is seen together with God remember John chapter 14 verse 1 no one comes to the Father but by me believe in God believe also in me so faith in Christ is faith in God faith in prize is faith in God please stay with me in the book of John chapter 1 verse 18 again there is a word declared him the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he had declared him so Jesus alone declares the father the word declared is translated from the Greek word as a gamma as a gamma it implies to unfold to unfold something observe he didn't say he will declare him he said he has declared he has declared him John means here that Jesus has declared our thinking or has cleared our view or has cleared our perspective about God Jesus has cleared our top button concerning God or Jesus has cleared our questions on the personality character and on the nature of God Jesus came to clarify he has declared that is he has made clear cut distinction that cannot be faulted Jesus has made clear cut distinction that not be faulted he has put God in right light he has put God in right light in Matthew 17 verse 5 the scripture calls him my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased hear him he I am means hear him concerning me hear Jesus concerning God our only access to God is Jesus not Moses not Elijah Jesus is our only access to God he is our exclusive access to God not Moses not Elijah so by using the word as Akamai which is declare John implies that Jesus was possessor of the explanation of God Jesus was the possessor of the explanation of God the word is Akamai was referenced in Luke 24 35 look 24 verse 35 look 24 35 and the third word things were done in the way and how he was not of them in breaking of bread it is used for a personal witness a personal witness something you had experience vessel it implies to bring him out or to narrate an experience to bring him out or to narrate an experience the word is ago mine it was explained also in Acts chapter 10 verse 8 Acts chapter 10 verse number 8 Acts of the Apostles then 8 and when he had declared all these things unto them he sent them to Joppa personal witness look at acts 15:12 also for that war declared acts 15 verse 12 then all the multitude kept silence and give audience to Barnabas and Paul declaring what miracles and wonders God a growth among the Gentiles by their next verse and after they are a healthy appease James and sustain men and brethren hearken unto me next verse Simeon had declared how God at the fresh did visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name 15 and to disagree the words of the prophets as it is written look at acts 21 19 again for the application of the word is over mind and when he had saluted them he declared as Abba my particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry wherever the world is used it means an experience is being explained that means we can only experience God in Christ we can only experience God in Christ when Jesus came to earth God as man it was for man to experience him it was for man to experience him vitally so so the Incarnation itself explains God the Incarnation explains God watch this the Incarnation itself is a correction because many people think that God is a terrorist you know he does Tunde and lighten him and it does all kinds of wicked acts but then suddenly God comes to the earth you will think he will fall from the sky and just land and sea I have arrived but look at Ali comes the womb of a woman out in a manger that is corrective the Incarnation in itself is corrective of the Old Testament on the character of God comes as a baby in a manger gross goes through life he is he is abused insulted he does nothing that on his own is a statement on the character of God the incarnation of Christ because the Incarnation is God in physical redefining and correcting answering questions on the character of God are you still in the building so the incarnation is an explanation he took the form of a man and then became a man shut up that God is our Father Jesus had that way with which he taught as one who had Authority that's how he taught as one who had Authority and not as the scribes look at Matthew 7 28 to 29 mark you 7 28 to 29 and it came to pass when Jesus had entered the Saints the people were astonished at his doctrine next verse 4 he taught them as one having Authority and not as the scribes they were astonished as his doctrine in other words Jesus presented how the Old Testament should be read he will tell them have you not read a nagging osco have you not read carefully that is have you not read closely what is telling them is in your reading something is missing out and that is explanation there therefore the Old Testament was quoted out of context so it had to be explained by Jesus no one has seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he had declared him explained him he had expressed him as a face and experience he has unveiled or revealed the only begotten son alone has the comprehensive exclusive right to unveil the father that term seen at any time no one has seen God seen at any time refers to the Incarnation so based on what Jesus taught in the four Gospels explaining his sufferings and the glory that shall follow from the law of Moses and the prophets John Deere for called Jesus the Word of God in John chapter 1 verse 3 John chapter 1 and verse number 3 all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made John 1:16 John chapter 1 verse 16 and of his fullness when we saw jesus the apostles were seen as firsthand when we saw him we saw his fullness and of his fullness have all we received grace and for grace observed a very important aspect of Jesus's teaching ministry in the four Gospels mark chapter 1 verse 27 please pay attention mark chapter 1 verse 27 and they were all amazed in so much that the question among themselves saying what theme is this what new doctrine is this for with authority commanded he even the unclean spirits and they do obey Him notice the Pharisees refer to what Jesus taught as a new doctrine if your Bible is man I will underline that as a new doctrine what new doctrine it are not being recorded in the Old Testament books that anyone cast out evil spirits nobody no prophet none of them was able to cast out an evil spirit and Jesus chosen and it begins to cast her evil spirits why was this they had little or no knowledge about evil spirits in the Old Testament all the prophets had little or no knowledge about evil spirits and it showed in the way they spoke please follow this now it showed in the way the Old Testament people spoke Jesus cast out evil spirits in his practice something was going on he was this wishing what God did from what God did not do listen when Jesus cast out evil spirits he was distinguishing it was intentional he was distinguishing what God did from what God did not do remember when he cast out evil spirits they called it a new doctrine meaning nobody has done this before now and the reason is this the Old Testament people didn't know about evil spirits or only knew little so Jesus shows up now he begins to cast out evil spirits but in that cast him out he was making a distinguishing between what God does and what God does not do very instructive he was distinguishing between what God does and what God does not do and that was never done in the Old Testament so Jesus casting out demons was an explanation in itself it was a lesson look at Matthew 12 22 to 28 stay with me Matthew 12 22 to 28 there was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil blind and dumb did you see the possessed with a devil blind and dumb and He healed him in so much that the blind and dumb both spake and saw next verse and all the people were amazed and said is not this the Son of David but when the Pharisees heard it they said this fellow does not cast out Devils but by Beelzebub the Prince of the Devils jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them every Kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand and if Satan cast out Satan he is divided against himself how shall then his kingdom stand are you following next verse and if I buy bacon see Bob cast out Devils by whom do your children cast them out because he knows that their children do not cause them out therefore they shall be your judges next verse but if I cast out Devils by the Spirit of God then the kingdom of God is come unto you the kingdom of God is come unto you please follow these Matthew 12 35 to 37 marcha 12 35 to 37 a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things but I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment for by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned now the work begins ABAB was called like a goddess of the flies and he said can Satan cast out Satan does explanation if God was behind dumbness deafness and blindness how will God cast out himself just like Satan cannot cast out Satan so what Jesus witness was explaining to them that the person behind blindness and dumbness and disease was not God otherwise if it was God he Jesus who is God in human flesh will not cast out himself are we in the building here he was using that to show them that the devil has been the one behind sickness disease evil things Jesus use casting out demons to communicate that's why the Pharisees cried out and said wow this is a new doctrine we have never seen this before because the devil is been exposed in the light of the revelation of Christ am i communicating at all now so Jesus is using that to explain the character of God so look at mark 139 Mach 139 mark chapter 1 verse 39 and he preached in their synagogue throughout all Galilee and cast out Devils somebody shall cast out Devils right now he cast out Devils because casting out of demons itself is an explanation of the Old Testament that is what John will say this is the explanation of God he calls Jesus the world the logos the logic the thinking pattern the thought the idea the mindset the reason behind he called Jesus that in a summary that Jesus is the logic of God he's the thinking pattern Jesus is the reason behind the operations of God John could only summarize Jesus like that so consider demons in itself was Jesus to him an explanation of God's character look at Matthew 12:39 Matthew 12:39 glory to God but he answered and said unto them an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of the Prophet Jonas next verse 4 as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales belly so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth that is a sign that will be given to them Jonas look at Matthew 12 verse 4 Matthew 12 verse 4 how he entered into the house of God and eat the shewbread which was not lawful for him to eat neither for them they were with him but only for the priests the term greater than Jonah's refers to one who explains Jonah Jesus was still explaining Jonah to them Jonah Jonah Jonah look at Luke 10 17 Luke chapter 10 verse 17 and the 70 returned again with joy saying Lord even the Devils are subject unto us through your name demons featured prominently in the four gospel the Synoptics and a few in the Epistle the word demons is the word diammonium Diamond Yin in the Greek you will see that in first Timothy 4:1 festival to each of the four vast number one now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devil's doctrines of devils the word Devils here refers to demons so jesus by casting out demons he destroyed the works of the devil observe that's what John wrote in 1st John 3:8 1st John chapter 3 verse number 8 a lot of scriptures but good for your health he that committeth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning the devil's in a famine the beginning Genesis for this purpose the Son of God was manifested why that he might destroy the works of the devil the word destroyed there is the greek word lo lo lu o law which implies to untie or to separate destroy untie or to separate in context john was teaching love and hatred he said the devil seems from the beginning what he implied was that the love of God demonstrated in Jesus is action exposed the devil the love of God demonstrated in Jesus his action of death burial and resurrection exposed the devil in essence this was separating what God did or what God does from what the devil does walks of the devil the Old Testament for example you will almost have no information about Satan yet Jesus said I saw that they will fall down like lightning from heaven so we've been trying to find God in the midst of evil and I'm gonna get into some exciting explanations now let's go over into something today like I told you we're gonna go over some things praise the Lord are you still in the building there is the term we've been dealing with which is growth of God the wrath of God because sometimes when somebody is going through trying times they will say maybe has done something wrong God is punishing him or things are not working out or you know strange things sickness disease some people even say the coronavirus has got punished in the world and some people because of that I've developed a hatred for a God that does not exist because in their minds they feel that if God is really good and is a good person why will he allow all these evil things are happen in the world and so people have those kind of questions and and they're bothered about that evil some Christians who go to churches have issues with that in their heart there is an unsecured meant about God's character even though they have the form of religiosity that makes them act like Christians but in the heart in the inner recesses of their hearts they are questioning the character of God and I've told you the reason is because they have not submitted themselves to sound Bible teaching so let's observe the way the wrath of God is used in the following scriptures Exodus 32 11 stay with me Exodus 32 11 and Moses besought the Lord is God and said Lord why the rod works hot against thy people which there was brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand Deuteronomy 9 7 deuteronomy chapter 9 verse 7 remember and forget not how that provoked as the LORD thy God tore off in the wilderness from the dead and out is depart out of the land of Egypt until you came on to this place you have been rebellious against the lord please be taking note of the word wrath and the things that they explained came as a result of that Ezra chapter 8 verse 22 Ezra chapter 8 verse 22 Ezra for I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way because we have spoken unto the king saying the hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him so they give an impression that if you forsake God his anger will be against you and it will look for a way to deal with you so all of these are impressions you will find in the Old Testament concerning God Ezra chapter 10 verse 14 Ezra chapter 10 verse 14 let now our rulers of all the congregation stand and let all them which are taking strange wives in our cities from at at appointed times and with them the elders of every city and the judges thereof until the fear out of our God for this matter be turned from us so the impression they give Raisa because people have marry many wives God became angry with the land and so God now allowed disasters to come upon the land and now their acts in the people the married many wives to come out so that the anger of God will be turned away from them all of these assumptions and impressions again don't forget we have explained in the cause of this service that there was a hidden personality in the Old Testament who was behind sickness disease and disasters hiding they didn't know that upon the arrival of Jesus in the incarnation exposed him as the devil remember that Jesus exposed the person as the devil and look at Sam 78 31 Sam's chapter 78 verse 31 the wrath of God came upon them and slew the fattest of them and smote down the chosen men of Israel the wrath of God the word wrath was also used in the New Testament look at the way it will be used in the New Testament John 3:36 John 3:36 he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him Romans 1:18 Romans 1:18 for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness the wrath of God look at Romans 2:5 Romans chapter 2 verse 5 but after the hardness and impenitent heart treasurers up unto the self wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God righteous judgment of God efficient of the five the six officials chapter 5 verse 6 let no man deceive you with vain words for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience Colossians 3 6 Colossians 3 6 for which things sake the wrath of God comment on the children of disobedience revelation 14:10 Revelation chapter 14 verse 10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb Revelation 14 19 revelation 14 19 and the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God the word wrath should be understood in the context by which it was explained remember after it has no or miniboss application for words of scripture words of scripture must be looked you know within the context of their usage it was used for man the word wrath was used for man the word wrath James 1:19 James 1:19 wherefore my beloved brethren let every man be swift to hear slow to speak slow to wrath official's 426 Ephesians 4:26 useful man be angry and sin not let not the Sun go down upon your wrath it is also used for God John 3:36 when we read the wrath of God Romans 1:18 the wrath of God and Ephesians 5:6 the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience then pay pay attention is also used for what is to come a future event Romans 5:9 Romans chapter 5 verse 9 much more day being now justified by his blood we shall be saved from wrath through him Colossians 3 6 Colossians 3 6 for which things sake the rod of God cometh on the children of disobedience fester solonius 1:10 for future faster solonius 1:10 and to wait for his son from heaven whom he raised from the dead even Jesus which delivered us from the rod to come he delivered us from the wrath to come now let's look at the scripture that explains growth in relation to God John 3:36 John 3:36 he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him the word wrath rod was translated from the Greek word or gay or rge it means punishment of vengeance it has a rich root word or ragu or our AG oh it means settled indignation settled indignation so wrath can mean to react to someone's action by vengeance and punishment to react to someone's actions by vengeance and punishment in the book of Genesis Georgian wrath as a reaction of God to sin becomes difficult why because Moses wrote in the first chapter of Genesis and it repeats the word good seven times in the first chapter look at Genesis 1:4 let's read a few Genesis chapter 1 verse 4 and God saw the light that it was good God saw the light that it was good Genesis 1:10 Genesis 1:10 and God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters called he seas and God saw that it was good Genesis 1:12 Genesis 1:12 and the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself of this kind and God saw that it was good Genesis 1:18 Genesis 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good Genesis 1:21 Genesis 1:21 and God created great whales and every living creature that moveth which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind and every winged fowl after his kind and God saw that it was good Genesis 1:25 Genesis 1:25 and God made the beasts of the earth after his kind and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the head of the sky and God saw that it was good Genesis 1:31 Genesis 1:31 and God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good and evening and the morning were the sixth day observe the start one of Genesis 1 summarizes everything God created as very good notice in Genesis 1 there was nothing evil spoken of this part reveals that God is absolutely good that the only thing you find in God is goodness the word good was translated from the Hebrew word talk it implies something perfect without evil or something perfect without anything to him in Genesis chapter 2 finding rot as a reaction of God becomes difficult to so North in Chapter one North in Chapter two observe observe Moses account Genesis 2:16 follower I'm teaching Genesis 2:16 and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat next verse but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die he didn't say I will kill you and he didn't say I will destroy you he is informing man as a loving father of the consequence of an action that has pet in it is an information this is before man sinned remember God's knowledge of sin does not validate his involvement in it that he knows ahead of time does not mean he's behind it all right so God's knowledge of seeing does not validate his involvement in it recall again that death is the absence of life God is life what God made available for man in Genesis 1 as we saw was life Genesis 2 it was called the Tree of Life so Genesis 2:16 is a statement of God's love a loving father reaffirming man of God non involvement in C non involvement in scene in case man does not heed his instruction and the death day are you shall surely die will mean that God's life will be absent that there you eat it you will experience the absence of course life are we following here God's life will be absence is called death so it suffices therefore to say that sin and death cannot be traced outside of God's will which is life and light which means what defines sin is God what defines scene because it will not be seen until God says and you disobey it is your disobedience to what God says that defines him so if God didn't say it you will not disobey under Benassi so are you following what I'm saying God is not behind see but they are the most same if God never said there will be no scene if God never said it will soon be clear why they call it the wrath of God even though God is not involved in it why they call it the wrath of God even though God is not involved in it because in Genesis 2:16 where we read is not a statement or a threat to kill but a statement outlining the consequence of man's actions either life if he chooses the tree of life or death if he rejects the tree of life therefore when man made a choice to see God stated the consequence of his disobedience in Genesis 3 verse 14 put it off for me Genesis 3 verse number 14 and the Lord God said unto the serpent because thou has done this now add observe hast he didn't say you are cause you are positive that is the moment you did it you brought a cause on yourself cause see I see you our sed cost take note of the terms Dow our cost and cost is the ground the word cost was translated from the hebrew word ARA ARA ARA just like darkness being the absence of life and debt of light and death been the absence of life cause refers to inability in ability so if the good is cause for man's sake it means that man seen affected it so in Genesis 3 God was not reacting to man's sin but God was pronouncing the consequence of man see now observe Genesis chapter 4 becomes the first mention of the word wrath in the book of Genesis Genesis 42 5 pay attention Genesis 4 2 2 5 and she again boy his brother Abel and Abel was a keeper of sheep but Cain was a tiller of the ground next verse and in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord and a bell he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering verse 5 but unto Cain and his offering he had not respect and Cain was very wroth that the first time you see the word rot in Genesis and it was applied to a man and Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell his countenance fell the word Roth was translated from the Hebrew word shara shara CH a are a hitch Charles used 91 times in the Hebrew is a strong word which implies to be angry to burn to be displaced or to watch hot now it was explained subsequent to this occurrence of Cain you will see it right down for personal study we will read it but you will find it when you read the scriptures Genesis 18 30 Genesis 30 verse 2 Genesis 3 35 36 Exodus 4:14 Exodus 22 24 Exodus 32 10 numbers 12 9 numbers 32:13 ago right again Genesis 18 30 Genesis 32 Genesis 3 35 36 Exodus 4:14 Exodus 22 24 Exodus 32 10 numbers 12 9 numbers 32:13 Georg's to 14 verse Samwell 18 8 verse Samwell 12 5 explain as something that is boiling hot notice God's role in the scenario of Cain and Abel Genesis 4 6 to 8 Genesis 4 6 to 8 and the Lord said unto Cain why art thou wroth and why is thy countenance fallen next verse if thou doest well shalt thou not be accepted and if not always not well sin lieth at the door and on to this shall be his desire and thou shalt rule over him next verse and Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him who killed Abel k man killed man the first debt you will see recorded in the Bible was man killed man [Music] God told Cain don't do it Kim insisted look at verse nine Genesis fall and the Lord said unto Cain where is Abel that brother and he said I know not am I my brother's keeper next was and he said what has thou done the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground 11 and now a doubt paused did you see the cause there is not cause is costing that is past that is where you acted from your action there was a consequence that brought a cause on you put it up again now our cost from the end which had opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from that so God was only informing came of the obvious came manifested wrath his rod does not truncate God's goodness and mercy so look at God's goodness baba came here genesis 4:13 pay attention God's rule Genesis 4:13 and Cain said unto the Lord my punishment is greater than I can be a look at verse 14 the older has driven me out of this day from the face of the earth and from the face shall I be hid and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth and it shall come to pass that everyone defining me shall slay me look at verse 15 and a Lord said unto him therefore also ever slayeth Cain vengeance shall be taken on him Sevenfold and a lot set a mark upon Cain lest any man finding him should kill him the narrative implied that God's mercy on Cain was very obvious there was not in spoken of as God's wrath in the case of Cain because in what we see in the entire scenario is the goodness and the mercy of God is it obvious the goodness and the mercy of God however what is seen is man's rough-in that Cain was rough and killed his brother so the first full of debt in the physical body mother and Roth is found in man Jesus made an allusion to this in John 8:44 John 8:44 you are of your father the devil and the loss of your father he will do he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for is a liar and the father of it the word devil was translated from the Greek word I Apollo's it refers to deceiver Jesus made an allusion to the beginning the word murderer was translated from the Greek word anthropic anthropic tono's in the Greek anth ro P ok t/o n OS and through Peppino's means manslayer this means that in Genesis 4 the devil was behind the scene consequently he was also behind the scene in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve ate of the tree but you know they use the word serpent the serpent was more subtil because he was hidden they didn't know the devil if you remember oratory Paul applied these terms you know to describe the devil in 2nd Corinthians 11:3 2nd Corinthians 11:3 put it up quickly second Corinthians 11:3 but I fear lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve CEDA as a Sabbath through his subtlety so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ the context of post explanation was false doctrine those who twist the truth of God's Word in the book of Revelation the serpent is also described revelation 12:9 revelation 12 verse nine and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him so the devil is described in subtlety right and it was the murderer from the beginning so Satan was behind came killing Abel Satan was behind Cain killing Abel this explains why when death are not there were mentioned in the Old Testament scripture they were not mentioned without God this is because God defines what seemed death and darkness remember God is light so the absence of God darkness God is life so the absence of God dead are we following are we following so you cannot talk about death until God is absent you cannot talk about life I mean you cannot talk about darkness until God who is light is absent so that's why when something happened they just say it was God where it was destructive or darkness or death so when man sins and encounters the consequence of that scene they called it the wrath of God you know I recall it the wrath of God it means the absence of God or the inactivity of God is what brought death of darkness or destruction because God's goodness and mercy or saving power is absent in that scene remember that the word scene is translated from the Hebrew word as chatta chatta implies something is missing observe further that it was a refusal to heed and receive God's promise so sin implies a lot or that something is missing which is God so anywhere there is seen God is missing remember I gave you a ward in the pillar service which is a figure of speech in the writing of spirituals and that figure of speech is metonym metal me my metal my metonymy is felt as a meaty ony my metal my is a figure of speech that was used in the writing of Scripture now that figure of speech is where a part represents a hole or a hole represents a part God's in action in see unbelief and its consequences is what they called the wrath of God the wrath of God is therefore a figure of speech called a metonym I let's examine the plagues that happened in Egypt all of those plagues this show of power and all of that Exodus 12 23 pay attention Exodus 12 23 for the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians and when we see at the blood upon the lintel another two side post the Lord will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer if your Bible was man I was circled that word and the Lord will not suffer the destroyer to come in on to your houses to smite you the destroyer Excel or 6:1 Exodus 6 1 then the Lord said unto Moses now shalt thou see what I would do to Pharaoh for with a strong hand shall I let go and we're a stronger shall I Drive them out of his land look at Exodus eight one two three Exodus 8 one two three and the Lord spoke unto is go on to Pharaoh and say unto Him thus saith the Lord let my people go that they may serve me vast you and if thou refuse to let them go behold I will smite all that borders with frogs vas 3 and the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly which shall go up and coming to the house and into the bedchamber and upon that bed and into the house of thy servants and upon thy people and Internet ovens and in today nitin throws now let's examine of all the plagues the major one in Exodus 11 1 to 6 let's examine that major one and the Lord said unto Moses yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt afterwards he will let you go hence when he shall let you go he shall surely trust you out hence all together thus to speak now in the ears of the people and let every man borrow of his neighbor every woman of a neighbor jewels of silver and jewels of gold verse 3 and the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt in the sight of Pharaoh's sovereigns and in the sight of the people next verse and Moses said thus saith the Lord about midnight when I go out into the midst of Egypt verse 5 and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne ever on to the firstborn of the maidservants that is behind the mill and all the firstborn of beasts next verse and there shall be a great cry trod on the land of Egypt such as there was none like it nor shall none nor shall be like it any more the plague like others was ascribed to God but in Exodus 12 where we read the instruction issued to Israel concerning the plagues can be seen obviously all right we read it and it says the instruction to Israel is that they should kill alarmed put the blood on the doorpost to prevent from the ham that was going to happen in the rendering of the event they observe that the protection from evil was attributed to God however the evil itself was also attributed to God did you observe that it is God that was saying I am protecting you people then they now also say that it is God that is killing did you observe right because in that Exodus chapter 12 you will see that just like we saw in Genesis there is a personality behind the scene the personality who is called the destroyer look at Exodus 12 23 the personality is called a destroyer for the Lord will pass through to smile Egyptians and when you see the blood upon the little and on the two side posts the Lord will pass over the door and will not so far the destroyer - coming on to your houses to smite you this cannot be God because God created things in Genesis and it did not destroy anything we established in Genesis one and two and three that God only created good and not evil in the Septuagint Greek does the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures the word used there was only three oh that was explained in the Epistle now let's observe the explanation 1st Corinthians 10:10 in the epistle 1st Corinthians 10:10 neither murmur ye as some of them also murmured I observe and we are destroyed of the destroyer so question who did the destruction in Egypt talk to me citizen can I hear you louder they destroyer is that God of course can never be God so there was a destroyer hiding and when it does have up the Old Testament people who didn't know God will actually built it to God look at Hebrews 11 28 Hebrews 11 28 through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood less he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them less he that destroy the firstborn the Greek word Allah trio implies to spoil to slave or destroy so observe the writer of the book of Hebrews did not say God was killing the firstborn not neither did Paul say but there was a destroyer there was a destroyer so the destroyer destroyed because they did not believe God's Word is that true hello did a destroyer destroy where there was blood he only destroyed where there was no blood so where there was blood did they believe God where there was no blood did they believe God so the destroyer only function where there was an unbelief of God's Word is that true so that means God was not present in the destruction because God is only present in faith God is not present in unbelief so in unbelief the destroyer function but in faith the destroyer could not function because God functions within the parameters of faith is a Clarion so in the destruction of the first bonds of Egypt the devil only destroyed because the people we are in unbelief the people we are functioning in a lack of faith now so he now says neither look at it in first Corinthians 10:3 2 for pay attention first corinthians 10:3 to fall and did all eat the same spiritual beats next bus and did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them and that rock was Christ next verse but with many of them God was not well pleased for they were overthrown in the wilderness they were what overthrew look at the next verse verse 6 now these things were our examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as the law stood next verse nettabi I told us also some of them as it is written the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play next verse neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day three and twenty thousand verse nine neither let us tempt Christ neither let us tempt Christ as some of them tempted and were destroyed of Sabine's the work kept their tempt was translated from the Greek word a Perazzo e KP e aí r SZ o morado it implies to act for someone to ask for what someone cannot do to ask for what someone cannot do all to pressure beyond the person's power in same word in Matthew 4 7 thou shall not tempt the LORD thy God in same word in Luke 4 12 it means to go beyond the boundaries of a person jesus was clear that God cannot be tempted with evil how will Paul say they should not tempt Christ he was referring to them rejecting the message because if you reject the message you are trying to make Christ go beyond the boundary of his world to function outside of his limits that is temptation and he said neither let us tempt Christ by subscribing to unbelief unbelief to the gospel tempting Christ means they went away from God's ability their persistence and inability to enter into his rest because of their unbelief was the temptation they went out of his power they went out of where you could save them and that is what is called a wrath of God when people go out of God's saving power when people go out of God's security boundary then God cannot help them so this destroyer is not God but certainly the devil hid behind seeing and unbelief and did havoc and because the people didn't know God they ascribed it to God consumers are hallelujah but were fully persuaded do not err my beloved brethren every good and perfect gift cometh from above from the Father of lights with whom there is no variableness not a shadow of Tony God is absolutely good totally good always good consistently good consistently constantly good and good all the times there is nobody in God he has been good he is good he will always be good and anytime there is evil the only part god plays is to deliver not ashamed of the gospel is the power of God unto salvation God's power only saves can somebody shout hallelujah God's power only saves stand on your feet all of God for in the service God's power only save all the events in the Old Testament when well explained you will always see that the only part that God plays in any situation is salvation he told them put the blood mark on your door so now when the destroyer comes he will see the blood and pass over he can't be the one putting the blood mark under one destroyed God is absolutely good has only one character one personality and has always been consistent in his goodness
