Suites myself as we get into the word of His grace glory to God all right this is the misunderstood God part three and we're looking at knowing God in Christ knowing God in Christ second Timothy chapter 3 verse number 15 second Timothy chapter 3 verse number 15 and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus the Scriptures are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus in the course of this series we have established that faith in Christ unlocks the Old Testament faith in Christ unlocks the Old Testament the second thing was established it is that the Old Testament must be explained the Old Testament must be explained look at that verse 16 of 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse number 16 all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine the word doctrine there is over there Scalia or teaching or explanation that the Scriptures are profitable advantageous or useful for teaching or explanation so the Old Testament must be explained remember on Sunday as we began to establish a few things from the Word of God we said that God created everything including man God created everything including man so man cannot discover god man cannot discover God God will be the only one that will have to reveal himself to man God will have to reveal himself to man so we're looking at revelation knowledge today as we proceed in the course of this story we're going look at the two kinds of knowledge they we have the sense knowledge and we have the revealed knowledge we're going to do some work Liam so get yourselves really excited tonight as we look into the Word of God one of the way is through which men receive information or knowledge is by perception perception through the five senses or the physical senses this will include the sense of sight and the sense of hearing look at the way brother Paul will put it in first Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9 first Corinthians chapter 2 verse number 9 thank you Lord Jesus but as it is written I have not seen nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God had prepared for them that love him I had not seen nor ear heard the census which has to do with perception brother Paul alluded to this fact it implies that information gets to the heart of man by the things he sees all years information gets to the heart of man by the things he sees all years that's very important and this applies to man generally for example in schools I mean academic institutions that we all attended we hear and see and observe we hear and see and observe as a learning process however in matters of the or in matters of the event where Jesus acts as disciples of people's opinion about him and we will see another perspective through which man can perceive look at Matthew chapter 16 in verse number 13 Matthew chapter 16 verse number 13 when Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do men say that I the Son of Man am verse 14 and they said some say that thou art John the Baptist Sam Elias and others Jeremias or one of the prophets next verse he saith unto them but whom say ye that I am next verse and Simon Peter answered and said thou are the Christ the Son of the Living God 17 jesus answered and said unto him blessed are thou Simon bar Jonah for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven but my father which is in heaven so it implies that there is a revelation that is from flesh and blood and there is another one that is inspired of God the word through the word to know through flesh and blood will refer to knowing by the senses to know through flesh and blood will refer to know him through the senses or via the intellect the senses or the intellect while the other one will be by the father revealing to man remember jesus said no man knows the Father except the Son and no one knows the son except the father and he to whom the son will reveal him revelation so jesus said my father has revealed it to you not just before then he acts of what people said concerning him and the response is given by his disciples where based on the people's sensual perception of him what they perceived of him by seeing and hearing and must have been because they saw and heard of the miracles with Jesus wrought while he was on the eighth this was a fact that was you know noise abroad when Jesus walked the face of the earth look at Acts chapter 10 verse 37 Acts of the Apostles chapter 10 verse number 37 that word I say you know which was published throughout all Judea it was published throughout all Judea and began from Galilee after the baptism with John preached vos how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with him for God was with him it's important to observe that the Gentiles reference to Jesus was from the scriptures as a corrupt as nation where in the scriptures with specific emphasis on John the Baptist Elias Jeremias John the Baptist or one of the prophets now so John the Baptist also was one of those prophets look at Luke chapter 7 verse 26 please pay attention Luke chapter 7 verse number 26 but what went ye out for to see a prophet yay I say unto you and much more than a prophet next verse this is he of whom it is written behold I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee next verse for I say unto you among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he so from the accounts of the synoptic writings or the four Gospels you observe that the people had information about Christ look at Matthew chapter 2 verse 4 a few scriptures to read Matthew chapter 2 verse number 4 and when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together he demanded of them where Christ should be born look at Matthew chapter 22 verse 42 Matthew chapter 22 verse 42 they had an idea that Christ was to be born saying what thinking of Christ whose son is he they say unto Him the son of David look at Luke chapter 3 verse 15 Luke chapter 3 verse number 15 Luke chapter 3 verse 15 and as the people were in expectation and all men mused in their hearts of John whether he had a Christ or not now look at Luke chapter 23 verse 35 Luke chapter 23 verse number 35 thank you Lord Jesus Luke 23 verse number 35 hallelujah Luke chapter 23 verse number 35 whoever is on the computer please we need somebody serious there and the people stood behold him and the rulers also with them derided him saying he saved others let him save himself if he be Christ the chosen of God they were making mockery of Jesus look at verse 39 of Luke 23 Luke 23 verse number 39 and one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him saying if thou be Christ save thyself and us if they are the Christ save thyself and us not the scripture again Matthew 26 63 Matthew 26 verse 63 when establishing that the eyewitness is all the people had an idea that Christ was to be around but Jesus held his peace and the high priest answered and said unto him a Geordie by the Living God that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ the Son of the Living God look at verse 68 of the same of that same Matthew chapter 26 verse 68 of Matthew 26 saying prophesy unto us now Christ who is he that smote thee who is he that smoothly look at Matt 1461 mark chapter 40 in verse number 61 thank you lord mark 1461 when establishing that they had an eyewitness understanding of the Christ but he held his peace and uncertain nothing again the high priest asked him and said unto Him and out the Christ the Son of the Blessed endow the Christ the Son of the Blessed look at much of the 16 verse 20 March chapter 16 verse number 20 thank you lord mark 16:20 and they went forth and preached everywhere the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following a man it is obvious that they were expecting the Christ to come and save or deliver they were expecting that when the Christ comes he will save or deliver they also knew that Jesus was a man look at much of the sixth verse through much of the six verse number two mark chapter six verse number two and when the Sabbath day was calm he began to teach in the synagogue and many hearing him were astonished say from whence have this man these things and what wisdom is this which is give unto Him that even such mighty walks are wrought by his hands gimme the next verse it's not this the carpenter the son of Mary the brother of James and Joe says and of Judah and Simon and are not his sister she arose and they were offended at him they were offended at him so they knew that Jesus was a man and this knowledge of him is according to flesh and blood that means they knew that Jesus was a man by the five senses but it requires revelation to know that the same Jesus was the Christ it requires revelation to know that the same Jesus was the Christ emerge of the thirteen Jesus gave a parable and the disciples asked why he spoke in parables look at Matthew chapter 13 verse 10 Matthew chapter 30 in verse 10 and the disciples came and Acts and said unto Him why speakest thou unto them in parables why speakest thou unto them in parables Jesus then pointed out the fact that there is this is needed for Revelation for them to understand the knowledge was given to people to know it was needed that these people will come to a place of understanding look at Matthew chapter 16 in verse number 17 Matthew chapter 16 verse 17 and jesus answered and said unto Him blessed are thou Simon bar Jonah for flesh and blood hath not revealed please underline the word revealed flesh and blood had not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven the word revealed is critical underline that word the word revealed is from the Greek word Apocalypto Apocalypto people kaal upto Apocalypto it means to uncover it means to uncover that word is using Matthew 1026 pay attention Matthew chapter 10 verse 26 fear them not dia formed for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed Apocalypto and he that shall not be known and he that shall not be known Matthew 11:25 Matthew 11:25 at that time jesus answered a say I thank the offer the lord of heaven on earth because I was hid these things from the wise and prudent and as we filled them on to babes you have heeded from the wise and prudent and as we filled it unto babes look at Matthew 11:27 Matthew 11:27 all things are delivered unto me of my father and no more knoweth the son but the father neither knoweth any man the father saved the Sun and here to whomsoever the Sun will reveal again the word revealed Luke chapter 10 verse 21 Luke chapter 10 verse 21 in that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and say it--um do for the lord of heaven on earth that there was hid these things from the wise and prudent and as we feel them unto babes even so father for so it seemed good in that side give me vice 22 the next verse all things are delivered to me of my father and no man knoweth the sku the Sun is but the father and who the father is but the Son and he to whom the son will reveal him he to whom the son will reveal him again the word Apocalypto look at where it is used again in Romans 1:17 that same word Apocalypto Romans 1:17 for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith as it is written the just shall live by faith look at Romans chapter 8 verse 18 Romans chapter 8 verse number 18 for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us Apocalypto which shall be revealed in us look at first Corinthians chapter 14 verse 30 many scriptures good for your health 1st Corinthians 14 verse 30 if anything be revealed to another that seated by let the first hold his peace now the noun of the word revealed is the word revelation the noun of the word revealed is the word revelation it is also used for Apocalypto and translated as apocalypsis apocalypsis you will see the use of the word apocalypses which is the noun of a book Apocalypto in Romans chapter 2 verse 5 Romans chapter 2 verse 5 please stay with me and pay attention Romans chapter 2 verse number 5 but after the hardness and impenitent heart treasure is upon today's self wroth against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment revelation of the righteous judgment of God look at Romans chapter 8 verse 19 Romans chapter 8 verse 19 for the NS creature or earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God Luca Romans 16:25 Romans chapter 16 verse 25 now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began now the question will be since Jesus has to be revealed how does the father reveal Christ how does the father reveal Christ unto men how does the father reveal Christ unto men look at Matthew 11:25 Matthew 11:25 at that time jesus answered and said I turned II or Father Lord of Heaven and Earth because thou has hid these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes the background of the above scripture we just read is that Jesus was a bread in the cities that did not believe in him look at verse 22 24 of Matthew 11 so you get the background Matthew 11 22 24 then began heed to abrade the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done because they repented not next verse woe unto thee chorazin woe unto the Bass's bethsaida for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in tyre and Sidon they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes next verse but I say unto you it shall be more tolerable for tyre and sidon at the day of judgment than for you next verse and thou Capernaum which are exhorted unto heaven shall be brought down to hell for if the mighty works which have been done in deed had been done in Sodom it would have remained until this day next verse but I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment than for thee now give me the next verse now 25 pay attention at that time jesus answered and said I turned the offer the lord of heaven on earth because thou has hid these things from the wise and prudent and as we fill them unto babes pay attention so he rebuked the cities for their unbelief he rebuked the cities for their unbelief the Bible is mine you were rather unbelief in capital letters he rebuked the cities for their unbelief that same story is told in Luke chapter 10 verse 22 21 let me read it look 10 22 21 notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven 21 in that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said I Tongji offer the Lord of heaven on earth that thou has hid these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes even so father for so it seemed good in thy sight for so it seemed good in thy sight the reservoir there that has been very frequently appearing in the verses the word heat there was heat the word he was translated from the greek word apple apple crypto apple crypto AP or k r upto which implies to conceal away to conceal away or to keep secret to conceal away or to keep secret not what is using Colossians 1:25 Colossians chapter 1 verse 25 we're off I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you to fulfill the Word of God next verse even the mystery which had been healed from ages and from generations but now is made manifest to his Saints hid from ages and from generations please pay attention look at Ephesians chapter 3 verse 9 the world heed again is used and to make all men see what is the mystery or the Fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world had been heat had been heat in God who created all things by Jesus Christ had been healed again now it is important to know how the language of the script is used in writing so as not to misconstrue the intent of the auto for example the above text appear like the father deliberately concealed facts from men like the father he hides facts from men deliberately does the way it was sound also remember that God's nature are seen in his approach to men is different let's look at the nature of God first John chapter 1 verse 5 first John chapter 1 verse 5 this then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all God is light and in him there is no darkness at all look at John chapter 1 verse 4 John chapter 1 verse number 4 in him was life and the life was the light of men verse 5 and the light shine it in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not and the darkness comprehended it not look at Matthew chapter 5 verse 14 Matthew chapter five verse number fourteen you are the light of the world a city that is set on an Hill cannot be hid next verse 15 neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house God is light and cannot be heat it implies that light reveals light exposes light reveals so on the other hand darkness hides or conceals it is darkness that hides or conceals light expose and reveals so in essence one will need a proper understanding of the language used in these scriptures we just read as we see that Jesus in Matthew Totten says he will alter the things kept in secret he will alter the things kept in secret we are trying to decipher who has hid the revelation from men Jesus in Matthew 13 says he will utter the things that are kept in secret also remember God is light God is light light exposes light reveals darkness conceals and darkness keeps secrets now look at Matthew 13 35 Matthew chapter 13 in verse number 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet saying I will open my mouth in parables I will utter things which are being kept secret from the foundation of the world things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world here Jesus was caught in the Sammis the same who spoke prophetically there by describing the Ministry of Jesus look at it in some 78 vos jeux Psalms 78 verse 2 to 4 I will open my mouth in a parable I will utter that sayings of old verse 3 which we have heard unknown and our fathers of told us verse 4 we will not hide them from their children showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord and his strength and his marvelous works that he had done please pay attention so from uttering Jesus in Matthew 13:44 look at what Jesus says in Matthew 13:44 concerning the kingdom of God again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid hid in a field that which when a man hath found that the which when a man had found he hide it and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he had and by it the field and by it the field that is what Jesus said concerning the kingdom then look at verse 16 of that Matthew 13 please pay attention Matthew 13 verse 16 but blessed are your eyes for the see and your ears for they hear your eyes for the see and your ears for they hear Jesus call those eyes and ears blessed why did he call them blessed because they see and they hear meaning not even heat from those eyes and nothing is heat from those ears we are still looking at who hides revelation from men stay with me let's see the background of this bless our eyes for the sheep and your ears for they hear Matthew 13 11 to 16 Matthew chapter 13 verse 11 to 16 he answered and said unto them because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given next verse also Everhart to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance but whosoever had not from him shall be taken away even that he has next verse therefore speak I to them in parables because they see in see not and hearing they hear not neither do they understand next verse and in them is fulfilled a prophecy of Esaias which saith by hearing you shall hear and shall not understand and see you shall see and shall not perceive see you shall see and shall not perceive why for these people's hearts if your Bible is - he placed on the line for these people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes they have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes hear with their ears and shall understand with their heart and should be converted and I shall heal them next verse but blessed are your eyes for the see and your ears for they hear so Jesus points out that they don't know or that revelation is hid from them look at me everybody that revelation is heat from them because of the state of their heart revelation is hid from them because of the state of their heart their heart is in unbelief he said their heart is gross that that they have closed their eyes and they have closed their ears so they are the ones who deliberately disbelieved the gospel so Jesus use of parables was because of his audience who we are in unbelief because of his audience who we are in unbelief so a very important question is who does the hiding who does the hiding of the revelation now please pay attention the X the expression concerning the Father hiding is a figure of speech the father hiding is a figure of speech as it is explained as what he did not do the father did not hide Radha they close their eyes and they close their ears the unbelief is what hides the wisdom of God from man unbelief is what hides the wisdom of God from man I repeat one more time unbelief is what hides the wisdom of God from man let's explain the scene and hearing Luke chapter 10 verse 21 Luke chapter 10 verse 21 a lot of scriptures good for your health in that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said I turn thee O Father Lord of Heaven on earth that I was he these things from the wise and prudent and as we feel them unto babes even so father foresaw it simmered in thy sight Luke said the father hid the facts from the wise and prudent but has revealed them to babes he hid it from the wise and prudent but as we filled it to babes this also implies that the hiding or revealing of the facts is relative to the wise and prudent and then two babes have seen in the text brother Paul will help to explain the use of this language by Jesus in first Corinthians chapter 2 verse 7 stay with me 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory please pay attention which God ordained before the world unto our glory verse 8 which none of the princes of this world knew for had I known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory next verse but as it is written I have not seen nor ear heard neither the entered into the heart of man the things which God had prepared for them that love him next verse but God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit God has revealed them unto us by his spirit for the spirit searcheth all things yea the deep things of God so that settles this how is the wisdom of God hidden how is the wisdom of God hidden it will be clear if you follow the sequence of how brother Paul was this Ksenia in first Corinthians look at first Corinthians chapter 1 verse 17 first Corinthians chapter 1 verse 17 for Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel not with the wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ should be made of non effect Paul establish a significant aspect of the gospel meaning the preaching of the gospel he takes the wave symbolism from the gospel he takes away symbolism from the gospel for Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel so he subtracts symbolism the symbol we see here is the practice of baptism of water which will differ from the word baptism in jesus's use look at the 1st Corinthians chapter 1 verse 18 first Corinthians chapter 1 verse 18 to 23 follow the reading for the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved it is the power of God 19 for it is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the product 20 where is the wise where is the scribe where is the disputer of this world pay attention had not God made foolish the wisdom of this world next verse 4 after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not god it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe the foolishness of preaching next verse for the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom next verse but we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumbling-block and unto the Greeks foolishness so brother Paul begins to talk about the wisdom of the wise in this world which will be sense knowledge sense knowledge here in seeing touching sense knowledge then he talked about the wisdom of God which is Christ crucified evidenced in preaching to men then he contrasts God's wisdom from man's wisdom the wisdom of God is heat from the intellect or the wisdom of God is heat from the wisdom of this world pay attention to the contrast the use of the phrase wise and prudent refers to men who are enriched with the wisdom of this world and then oppose the wisdom of God in their understanding wise and prudent a man that are rich in the wisdom of this world and using that to oppose the wisdom of God in their understanding we will see the use of terminologies please pay attention terminology such as the foolishness of God please pay attention the foolishness of God look at first Corinthians 1:25 first Corinthians chapter 1 verse 25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men take note of the word foolishness of God look at me this expression foolishness of God is a figure of speech actually an oxymoron which expresses the fact that God is foolish in the heart of the man that does not receive the wisdom of God that oxymoron is expressing the fact that God is foolish in the heart of the man that does not receive the wisdom of God then we will see similar use of terminologies when he explained the wrath of God as the consequence of rejecting the grace of God the wrath of God as the consequence of rejecting the grace of God or rejecting the message of God please pay attention so we have seen the foolishness of God as foolishness to those that are wise in this world it's not that God is foolish is just an oxime the use of that word is a figure of speech the foolishness of God we are the wise and the prudent of this world a concern then it talks about the wrath of God as a consequence of rejecting the grace of God look at the scripture 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 so the wrath of God is the consequence of not believing in the son look at Romans chapter 1 verse 18 the use of the term the rod of God we have seen the foolishness of God for the rod of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness who hold the truth in all righteousness if you read down then he said because this man that hold the truth in unrighteousness refused to retain God in their hearts look at me because they refuse to retain God in their hearts God gave them all to their choices God gave them all to their lost to do things that are not convenient is in that same context so the lot of God is actually the consequence of a man who rejects the grace of God look at Ephesians chapter 5 verse 6 Ephesians 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 upon the children of disobedience look at Colossians chapter 3 verse 6 Colossians chapter 3 verse 6 for which things say it the rod of God commit on the children of disobedience so brother Paul uses such monologist like the wrath of God and the foolishness of God as relative to God and man as relative to God and man now both terminologies relates to man's actions both terminologies relates to man's actions the foolishness of God is seen in that the preaching of the gospel a man who believes is translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his dear son while the rod of God is equal to man's unbelief in the gospel thereby making it man-made the rod of God there is a figure of speech and the rod of God there is manmade manmade in this instance of God's wisdom as rejected by the wisdom of men so the wisdom of man calls the wisdom of God foolish the wisdom of man calls the wisdom of God foolish reject him with the rejection this rejection the rejection of God's wisdom or the rejection of the message of the grace of God will be by the reason of man's intellect the reason of man's intellect that is the wisdom of God is explained in the scriptures as Jesus dying for sins Jesus dying for sin is the wisdom of God which explains the power of God unto salvation this does not make sense neither is it logical to the wisdom of this world for this purpose brother Paul says it is hidden to men for this purpose brother Paul said it is hidden from men so God is hidden from unbelief a man in unbelief can not of Revelation because unbelief means you are wiser than God unbelief means God is foolish in your eyes unbelief means God alpha is not good enough unbelief means you have something better that one than what God has for you so that is why the wisdom of man calls the wisdom of God foolishness and that is where the rejection of the gospel is called the root of God the rejection of the gospel is called the root of God so pay attention first Corinthians chapter 2 verse 1 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse number 1 and I brethren when I came to you came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of God declaring unto you the testimony of God even though brother Paul was an intellectual that was not his approach he was educated he was an intellectual guy but that was not his approach in preaching the gospel of Christ he said it did not come to them by the way of his intellect he simply presented the wisdom of God the cross of Christ asks the power of God the cross of Christ as the power of God so the faith of the HERA will not stand in the wisdom of man but in the wisdom of God which is the gospel of Christ crucified so that the faith of man will not stand on intellectual reasoning but in the wisdom of God which is Christ crucified the power to salvation please stay with me 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 4 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 4 and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power the work demonstration is a Greek word up Alexis a product six APO Dei X is every first a flash for auto flashlight upon a surface to make it visible Paul implied that a spiritual flashlight upon things written in the Old Testament books the spirit of flashlight upon things that are written in the Old Testament books the term power refers to Christ crucified every time you hear the power of God is talking about the crucifixion of Christ and this is made known to us in the preaching of the Cross the preaching of the cross so the demonstration of the Spirit and power is the preaching of the gospel from the Old Testament so an attempt to present the gospel in accordance with the wisdom of this world will hide the gospel any attempt to present the gospel with the wisdom of this world will hide the truths of the gospel the world has what attempts power when unbelievers or people that don't know God talk about power they are talking about force they are talking about damage they are talking about going against a man's wheel but God predominantly explains his power within the facts of the gospel God fundamentally explains his power within the facts of the gospel Paul explains that the gospel is heat to those that do not believe revelation knowledge of Jesus the revelation of God will be heat to those that do not believe second Corinthians chapter 4 verse 3 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 3 but if our gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost next verse in whom the god of this world blinded the minds of them which believe not lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine unto them so their eyes could not see and their ears could not hear or the hearts could not receive the wisdom of God because of unbelief revelation knowledge will not come to a man in unbelief look at Matthew 13 13 Matthew 13 verse 13 therefore speak I to them in parables because they seeing see not and hearing they hear not neither do they understand give me verse 14 glory to God and in them is fulfilled a prophecy of Isaiah which saith by hearing you shall hear and shall not understand see you shall see and shall not perceive next verse 15 for these people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes they have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and shall understand with their heart and should be converted and I surely heal them look at 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9 first Corinthians chapter 2 verse number 9 but as it is written I had not seen nor ear heard neither the enter into the heart of man the things which God had prepared for those that love him however in looked at 21 the wise and the prudent will refer to unbelief the wise and the prudent will refer to unbelief then there is awardee used the word babe used to refer to those who have faith in the word author he has heeded from the wise and the prudent and he has revealed it to babes babes are those that live the gospel the wise and prudent are those who because of intellectualism oppose the gospel and when you function in unbelief the regulation of God in Christ will be heat from you that unbelievable obscure it will keep you from accessing revelation knowledge the descriptive words use wise and prudent as well as babes within this context will refer to man's attitude towards the Scriptures or towards the Word of God remember in second Timothy 3:15 the gospel is the power of God unto salvation through faith through faith which is in Christ Jesus through faith which is in Christ Jesus so the receiving of the world will therefore have to be by faith in the message of the Scriptures you receive revelation by faith in the message of the Scriptures you will come to a place of the accurate knowledge of God by faith in the message of the Scriptures what is the message of the Scriptures faith in Christ faith in Christ faith in Christ look at Romans chapter 1 verse 1 to 4 Romans chapter 1 verse 1 to 4 Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle separated unto the gospel of God next verse which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures next verse concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh verse 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the the prophets book about Christ so faith in the message of the Prophet is faith in Christ so we cannot disappoint safely say that God reveals himself unto man by faith in the scriptures we can safely say that God reveals himself unto man by faith in the scriptures by faith in the scriptures so we can understand what happened to Peter in Matthew 16 we can understand what happened to Peter in Matthew 16 it was not selective it was not as if God was Pasha the other disciples didn't know Jesus then the father made Peter to know Jesus know from what we have explained Peter simply believed the words of the prophets Peter simply believed the words of the Prophet that Jesus was the Christ simple when he believed what he has been reading he affirmed it by saying down at the Christ the Son of the Living God revelation knowledge came to Peter because Peter believed Peter believed the message of the prophets in the scriptures concerning Christ similar thing happened to Philip and Nathaniel John 1:45 John 1:45 stay with me Philip findeth Nathanael fili find an eternal and said unto him we have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write Jesus of Nazareth son of Joseph many also believe the scriptures like Mary Mary believe the scriptures when the angel appeared to her look at it in Luke 1:38 Mary believed Luke 1:38 a Mary said the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me according to thy word she believed be it unto me according to thy world remember Mary was a virgin that has not met a man and an injure says to her you will carry a baby she said how can these things be the angel said about the Holy Ghost shall overshadow you Mary said I believe be it unto me according to the scriptures God has chosen to be known by faith in the gospel preached God has chosen that the only way you will know him is by faith in the gospel that is preached you cannot know God in doubt and unbelief you must believe the gospel that is preached so it has been active the word is hid by unbelief without being active the word of Jesus is heat from man because of unbelief but God is revealed by faith in the scriptures God is revealed by faith in the scriptures please that's very important look at John chapter 6 verse 29 John chapter 6 verse 29 jesus answered and said unto them this is the work of God how that you believe on Him whom he has sent this is the work of God that you believe on Him whom he has sent when Jesus appeared to his disciples after he rose from the dead he rebuked him for their unbelief as they did not believe the report of his resurrection look at mark 16 14 mark chapter 16 verse 14 afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat and abraded them with their unbelief and hardness of heart because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen this is similar to how he collected the disciples on the way to Emmaus look 24 2507 and he said unto them all fools slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory and beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself then Italia's expound that to them look at Luke 24 31 Luke 24 31 and their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished out of their sight their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished out of the aside the question is what open their eyes what opened their eyes faith in the scriptures look at it Luke 24 32 Luke 24 32 and they said one to another did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way and while he opened to us the scriptures so it is the teaching after his resurrection that further expand the emphasis he made in his teaching in the four Gospels they believed the message the emphasis and eyes were opened and they knew him faith in the scriptures opens you up to the revelation of God faith in the scriptures opens you up to the revelation of God in looking for Jesus explained to them the words of the prophets concerning himself now listen carefully Jesus Jesus took time to teach God's definition of facts Jesus's definition of facts is God's definition of facts and Jesus to Ty to explain what God's definition of facts are please stay with me Jesus took time to explain what God's definition of facts are all of Jesus sermons were centered around the resurrection everything he preached in the four Gospels they were centered around the resurrection majority of his sermons were only understood after he rose from the dead he used God's vocabulary and shows God's definitions the facts that were veiled by the wisdom of men Jesus you've got vocabulary to show God's definition of those facts that were veiled by the wisdom of men for example the wedding in Cana of Galilee the wedding in Cana of Galilee when he was told to toll water to wine look at what Jesus said to them John chapter two verse one to fall John chapter two verse one to fall and the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee and the mother of Jesus was there verse 2 and both Jesus called his disciples to the marriage verse 3 and when they wanted wine the mother said unto him they have no wine next verse jesus said unto a woman what have I to do with thee mine hour is not yet come mine hour is not yet come those words took the attention of his audience from the physical wine that they requested for by saying my hour had not come he was referring to his resurrection which is his glorification my hour has not come look at John 12 23 John 12 23 and jesus answered them saying the hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified the hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified look at John 17 1 John 17 1 this world speak Jesus and litter abyss eyes to heaven and said father the hour is come glorify thy son that thy son also may glorify thee that thy son also may glorify thee so when it turned the water to wine it was a miracle but his emphasis was upon his Allah the resurrection his emphasis was upon his hour the resurrection Jesus explains the significance of wine at the Passover table what is the significance of the wine on the Passover table look at matthew 26:26 module 26 26 and as they were eating Jesus took bread and blessed and broke it and gave to the disciples and said take it this is my body 27 and it took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drink he all of it 28 for this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins 29 but I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my father's Kingdom he explains that the wine was symbolic representation of his blood which will be shed for the remission of sins for many and this was fulfilled upon his resurrection the blood was for the remission of sins the blood of Jesus is not for traveling I plead the blood no no the blood was not to be sprinkled on the road the blood was for the remission of sins this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many why for the remission of sins for the remission of sins so the significance of the blood of Jesus shed was for the remission of sins look at Revelation chapter 1 verse 5 Revelation chapter 1 verse 5 let's corroborate it and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the Dead and the Prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and washed us from our sins in his own blood look at Hebrews 9:14 Hebrews chapter 9 verse 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the Eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God so the blood was shared for sins the blood was shed for the remission of sins stay with me in church of the six Jesus explore the use of the word prayed because it is wine and bread on the Passover table Jesus explained the use of the word bread John 633 John 6 33 for the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and give that life unto the world jesus said this bread will give eternal life so he refers himself as the bread of life he is the bread of life not the bread from bakery he himself is the bread of life look at John 6:35 John chapter 6 verse 35 and Jesus said unto them I am the bread of life he cometh to me shall never hunger and he that believeth on me shall never thirst look at verse 51 51 of John 6 John 6 51 I am The Living bread which came down from heaven if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever and the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world look at 53 and 54 of the same chapter john 6:53 then said then jesus said unto them verily verily I say unto you except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you so the eating of the flesh and the drinking of the blood is for eternal life look at the next verse the next verse 54 whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life and our resum up at the last day resurrection the wisdom of this world defines in sense knowledge it will refer to a loaf made from flour as bread but Jesus figuratively taught his audience that he himself is the bread of life they could not understand because of the hardness of their heart they did not believe Moses teaching of Christ and they did not believe Christ look at Matthew 19 verse 8 see what Jesus said in Matthew 19 verse 8 he saith unto them Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives but from the beginning it was not so from the beginning it was not so because of the mess of your hat so the law of Moses was a reflection of the hotness of men's hearts the suribabu said the law is not for the righteous but for the sinner stay with me Paul also confirmed it in 2nd Corinthians 3:13 2nd Corinthians 3:13 and not at Moses would put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not stedfastly looked at the end of that which is abolished 14 but their minds were blinded for until this day remain at the same veil on taken away in the reading of the Old Testament which veil is done away in Christ next verse but even unto this day when Moses is read the veil is upon their hearts next bus hyah nevertheless when it shall turn from Moses to the Lord the veil shall be taken away the minds of these people was veiled by unbelief Moses allowed them to do what was in their hearts because they were hardened towards God and that has been from the beginning but in John chapter 1 verse 1 to 5 God's Word is light and the light shines in darkness but darkness which describes the heart of man in unbelief could not comprehend it God's Word is light and the light shines in darkness but darkness which describes the heart of man in unbelief could not comprehend it unity added in John chapter 1 verse 1 to 5 God's Word is light which shines in darkness but darkness which describes the heart of man in unbelief could not comprehend it it is clear that God's Word is literal it is unbelief the hardness of man's heart that brought about the use of symbols in communication so Moses used symbols in such as animals in the Old Testament to explain Christ those symbols veiled Christ all that Jesus said about the Passover happened at the resurrection and not on the table it happened at his resurrection look at Matthew 26 29 March 26 29 glory to God but I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my father's Kingdom look 22 18 look 22 18 for I say unto you I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come so the new wine will be his resurrection the use of symbols we are for the unyielding it was for the unyielding because faith is by hearing here in the message of Christ which brings faith all to salvation jesus also explained Moses in John chapter 3 verse 14 John chapter 3 verse 14 another symbol and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of Man be lifted up 15 that also ever believed that in Him should not perish but have eternal life whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life they were to believe what Jesus said not to be carrying a serpent on a pole every day that serpent was symbolic of faith in Christ which brings life just like the bread and wine was symbolic of faith in Christ which gives eternal life what about the temple in John chapter 2 verse 16 look at John 2:16 temple the temple worship jesus said unto them that sold doves take these things hence make not my father's house an House of merchandise the father's house refers to the father's dwelling place which was made clear in John 14 to aintry give me the scripture John 14 to aintry in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so i will have told you I go to prepare a place for you verse 3 and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also notice my father's house there means father's household my shows there means the dwelling of the father prepared a means to make a room or space within is an internal walk Jesus went further in lot of asses to explain what he means John 14 10 to 11 John 14 10 to 11 believers doubt not that I am in the father and the father in me the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works next verse believe me that I am in the father and the father in me or else believe me for the very works sake at that point Jesus was the fattest wailing then his peak of what would happen upon his resurrection John 14:16 2:17 John 14:16 2:17 and I will prayer the father I will pray the father and he will give you another comforter that may abide with you forever 17 but the Spirit of Truth the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him but you know him for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you similar explanation officials to 21 officials to 21 in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord 22 now in whom you also are builded together for an habitation of God through the spirit the charge is the father's house the church is the mansion the church is the father's dwelling look at first Corinthians 3:16 first Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16 know ye not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you look at verse 19 glory 19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God for it is written he taketh the wise in their own craftiness so the father's house is the church the Assembly of the saints this implies that collectively individually we are the temple we are the father's house he lives in us we live in him and that is a reality after his resurrection look at John chapter 2 verse 19 glory to God John 2:19 jesus answered and said unto them destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up [Music] 21:21 but he spec of the temple of his body 22 when therefore he was risen from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this on to them and they believed the scriptures and the world with Jesus had said so what was the temple in the Old Testament what was Jesus referring to he was referring to not a physical during but sense knowledge sees a physical building but felt in the scriptures could not have met anyone to look at the physical building as a temple so Christ life is Moses his wine Christ life is Moses his bread Christ's life is Moses is temple glory to God all these are understood in the resurrection of Jesus as fulfillment of the message of the Old Testament so in explaining the two kinds of knowledge there is help knowledge does this bread and wine and there is reveal knowledge that sees the gospel as the body on the book and the wine of Jesus all right the reality is in the message sense knowledge sees the temple reveal knowledge sees us as the temple of God glory to God glory regard help knowledge since the brazen serpent on the pole revelation knowledge sees the gospel of his burial resurrection as the source of life that which is of God is revelation that which is of the world is symbols glory to God glory to God I have news for you friends when Jesus died you died with him when he was buried you were buried when he rose again you rose triumphantly with him glory to God stand on your feet that's all I've got for you tonight but I pray for everybody under the sound of my voice by radio by

Abel domina at yahoo.com or the numbers who are going to read in another one two minutes you can call and ask for information will be or not to give it information to send in your offerings to support what we do but whether you in the house sent our compasses prepare your offerings I'm gonna pray over them right now and take the offerings now somebody asked me since God was not on Mount Sinai it was Angel's and Moses from what we have thought so how did God make covenant with Abraham he wants to understand what is that covenant the answer is this God has only made one covenant from the beginning of time and that covenant is the new covenant which began in Genesis and was interrupted by the law of Moses I can show you scriptures quickly Acts chapter 3 verse 26 Acts chapter 3 verse 26 before I pray for the offering give me 25 for clarity 25 you are the children of the prophets and of the Covenant which God made with our fathers saying unto Abraham and in thy seed shall all the Kindred's of the earth be blessed 26 unto you first God having rest of his son Jesus sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities so the Covenant that God made with the father's was the resurrection of Jesus which was presented in the gospel of his son the gospel of life but when they rejected the gospel then Moses gave them the laws you can also read Galatians chapter 3 verse 17 18 19 you will see clearly spelled out in Galatians 3 17 18 19 so the promise of God has always been the resurrection of Jesus which is the New Covenant that started in Genesis and was interrupted by the law of Moses in response to the hardness of men's hearts glory to God before I pray for the offering those of you listening to me on radio I would like to send you 33 messages
