What if understanding the spiritual battle we're engaged in could transform your life? Join us on a remarkable journey as we explore the divine warfare between good and evil,. In "Enmity with the Seed," we examine spiritual warfare between the Christ, as our divine warrior, and antichrist. our ancient enemy, emphasizing the importance of knowing our adversary to avoid defeat. We'll uncover the fragmented nature of Satan's kingdom, also focusing on the spirit of jezebel and its influence over false religions, steering people away from recognizing God as the Creator.

In our exploration, we unravel the deep meanings found in Genesis 3:15, interpreting the "seed of the woman" as the Church and Christ, the new creation. This enlightening analysis promises to illuminate God's declaration of enmity between the serpent and the seed, signifying a spiritual battle culminating in Christ's victory. We reflect on the eternal struggle between good and evil, fortified by the hope delivered through the new covenant, and the critical role of blood sacrifice through Jesus as the Lamb of God. The narratives of Cain and Abel serve as a backdrop to understand the spiritual importance of sacrifice and the implications of obedience.

We journey through significant biblical events, contrasting historical sacrificial practices with the profound significance of the bloodline of Seth. Abel's faith and righteousness set divine standards against the spirit of Antichrist, establishing the enduring narrative of sacrifice and redemption. As we honor God's divine plan, the unwavering commitment to honoring the blood sacrifice becomes ever more essential as we look unto Jesus' fulfilled mission. Join us in seeking strength to follow the righteous path, exemplified by figures like Abel and Abraham, and discover the transformative power of faith in the battle for spiritual victory.

00:00:01.304 --> 00:00:01.864
well.

00:00:01.864 --> 00:00:09.746
Praise the Lord, hallelujah Father, we do rejoice with our brother Mike.

00:00:09.746 --> 00:00:11.631
We are so glad he's out of the hospital.

00:00:11.631 --> 00:00:12.372
Thank you, lord.

00:00:12.372 --> 00:00:20.920
Going before us is a consuming fire, consuming all of your enemies round about.

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.064
We just thank you, lord, bless you.

00:00:23.064 --> 00:00:24.954
Praise you, lord, as we begin enemies round about.

00:00:24.954 --> 00:00:25.777
We just thank you, lord, bless you.

00:00:25.777 --> 00:00:35.185
Praise you, lord, as we begin a new series here.

00:00:35.185 --> 00:00:37.103
Lord, I just praise you.

00:00:37.103 --> 00:00:41.566
You're going to open our eyes to see, open our mouths to speak.

00:00:41.566 --> 00:00:45.546
Give us a heart of revelation and insight.

00:00:45.546 --> 00:01:01.411
Impart your wisdom to us, lord, that we might understand, hallelujah, the things that you know, lord, we may not yet know, but you want to make them known to us.

00:01:01.411 --> 00:01:03.435
We give you praise.

00:01:03.435 --> 00:01:10.709
Oh, thank you, jesus, that the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight.

00:01:10.709 --> 00:01:13.585
O Lord, you are our strength and our redeemer.

00:01:13.585 --> 00:01:16.632
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:01:16.632 --> 00:01:19.147
Well, glory to God.

00:01:19.147 --> 00:01:23.807
Praise the name of Jesus.

00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:50.959
For many, many, many, many, many months now, we have been studying the theme that the Spirit speaks clearly, and I believe that the Lord was getting us ready to embark on this study.

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:56.233
That is, in part.

00:01:56.233 --> 00:02:19.931
It is going to be very difficult to receive, because there is, there is just no doubt that it's going to touch your experience in the Lord and touch the experience that people that you know have had in the Lord and where they're at right now it is.

00:02:19.931 --> 00:02:31.548
It is in no way is this intended to be kind, and so, you know, strap on your boots.

00:02:31.548 --> 00:02:43.233
It will take a while to warm up to that, so you'll get used to it in the process.

00:02:43.233 --> 00:03:14.140
But the title of this series is called Emnity with a Seed, and first thing I want to make you aware of and I've taught you this before is in the book of Exodus it tells us that God is a man of war, amen.

00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:31.771
Now I have taught a series for many, many, many years ago on spiritual warfare from the point of view that that if God is a God of war, then the principles of war are God given.

00:03:31.771 --> 00:03:59.731
And if we study the principles of war either from you know, an army college point of view, um, military school point of view, uh, ancient writers point of view, those things that if they are successful in warfare it's because God invented them, because he is a God of war, amen.

00:03:59.731 --> 00:04:03.510
Now the question is who is he at war with?

00:04:03.510 --> 00:04:08.125
Now, the question is, who is he at war with.

00:04:08.125 --> 00:04:17.735
And we know that the Bible says that Satan broke and rebelled against God.

00:04:17.735 --> 00:04:28.870
But we're going to find out today that it wasn't Satan that declared war, because God is a God of war, amen.

00:04:30.002 --> 00:04:39.230
And here's something else that we need to think about that if our Father is at war, we are at war, amen.

00:04:39.230 --> 00:04:41.387
You can't avoid the fact.

00:04:41.387 --> 00:04:53.769
If your Father is at war, you can't just say, well, I'm gonna sit this one out because I'm all about peace, I'm all about love, I'm all about, you know, being happy and content and things like that.

00:04:53.769 --> 00:05:02.406
You know, that's not, that's not realistic.

00:05:02.406 --> 00:05:07.831
If your father's at war, one would think praise god.

00:05:07.831 --> 00:05:15.800
So the question is the easy answer is that he's at war with the devil.

00:05:17.041 --> 00:05:33.360
But one thing that that we need to understand is that and this, and this is one of the principles of war that you need to be very familiar with, and most Christians don't like this part of it Amen.

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:41.826
I can tell you this right now Most Christians, you know they don't like it, and that is that you have to know your enemy.

00:05:41.826 --> 00:05:53.071
If you don't know your enemy, you will constantly be defeated, because you'll be just like a drunk person running around at night.

00:05:53.071 --> 00:05:56.026
You won't know what's going on, you'll never know where they're coming from.

00:05:56.026 --> 00:06:02.069
You don't understand them, you can't second guess them, you can't anticipate what they're going to do.

00:06:02.069 --> 00:06:03.425
You have to know your enemy.

00:06:04.641 --> 00:06:18.053
One of the things you have to know about Satan's kingdom is that Satan's kingdom is is really divided into three, three other kingdoms, and those kingdoms don't like each other.

00:06:18.053 --> 00:06:31.764
And this is another thing you need to know about the kingdom of of of your enemy is that you need to know about the kingdom of your enemy is that the kingdom of the enemy is not a well-oiled machine.

00:06:31.764 --> 00:06:36.392
It is run by snarling, bickering, hateful.

00:06:36.392 --> 00:06:37.375
They hate each other.

00:06:37.375 --> 00:06:44.012
They're not like a bunch of good old boys that get together and slap each other on the back and you know, let's go bother the christians.

00:06:44.012 --> 00:06:53.211
They are, they're a nasty bunch of folks and they don't like each other.

00:06:53.211 --> 00:07:02.973
Anyway, the the.

00:07:02.973 --> 00:07:09.088
If there's, if there's a similarity, you can just do the math yourself.

00:07:09.088 --> 00:07:11.877
Praise God.

00:07:12.197 --> 00:07:29.887
Anyway, the kingdom of of the enemy is divided into three kingdoms and those kingdoms have three heads the spirit of Antichrist, the spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of death and hell.

00:07:29.887 --> 00:07:55.211
They have a hierarchy of imps, devils, archangels, angels, fallen angels, fallen archangels and all kinds of stuff working for them, but they have specific responsibilities.

00:07:55.211 --> 00:08:02.514
Spirit of Jezebel is basically and primarily established and set up.

00:08:02.514 --> 00:08:22.095
Established and set up to keep people from gravitating to the reality of Christ, Okay, and to keep people from honoring God through the creation that he made.

00:08:22.095 --> 00:08:32.104
Romans 1 says that everyone is responsible for honoring God as God and creator on the basis of creation.

00:08:32.104 --> 00:08:36.471
Okay, so what does Jezebel do?

00:08:40.341 --> 00:08:51.056
Jezebel creates all of these different forms of false religion to explain creation, to explain how things work, to explain.

00:08:51.056 --> 00:08:52.823
And so what do you have?

00:08:52.823 --> 00:08:54.910
You have this pantheon of gods.

00:08:54.910 --> 00:09:01.345
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of gods in the Hindu religion, same thing in Chinese religion.

00:09:01.345 --> 00:09:16.251
For every kind of natural manifestation, be it thunder, be it lightning, be it rain, be it floods, be it drought, be it this, that horse, dog, pig, whatever they've got a God for it.

00:09:16.251 --> 00:09:20.727
Why is there so many gods?

00:09:20.727 --> 00:09:24.227
Well, first of all, because it's man-made.

00:09:24.227 --> 00:09:28.041
Many gods?

00:09:28.041 --> 00:09:34.890
Well, first of all, because it's man-made and second of all, it keeps people from honoring the one God who created everything.

00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:41.528
You see, if people will obey that one commandment that is written in the stars, amen.

00:09:41.528 --> 00:09:42.889
But what do they do?

00:09:42.889 --> 00:09:43.912
They don't.

00:09:43.912 --> 00:09:45.173
They don't obey that.

00:09:45.173 --> 00:09:46.802
They obey astrology.

00:09:46.802 --> 00:10:01.912
They obey, they obey, they obey star watching, you know, and trying to attribute all kinds of meanings to that kind of stuff, instead of they're worshiping the creation rather than the creator.

00:10:01.912 --> 00:10:08.407
Okay, if Jezebel can keep you from doing that, you'll never find Jesus.

00:10:08.407 --> 00:10:18.546
Praise God, it's as simple as that.

00:10:18.546 --> 00:10:24.427
Now, the complexity that Jezebel goes to to do that is amazing.

00:10:24.427 --> 00:10:26.144
Complexity that that Jezebel goes to to do that is amazing.

00:10:26.163 --> 00:10:33.207
In that kingdom is all false religion, with the exception of one major exception.

00:10:33.207 --> 00:10:33.929
I'll get to that.

00:10:33.929 --> 00:10:37.581
It's in the it's.

00:10:37.581 --> 00:10:43.650
It's responsible for all sexual perversion Except for one, and I'll get to that.

00:10:43.650 --> 00:10:43.750
Amen.

00:10:43.750 --> 00:10:45.840
It's responsible for all perversion except for one, and I'll get to that Amen.

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.131
It's responsible for all religious kind of perversions.

00:10:51.902 --> 00:11:11.990
And when Paul went to places like Corinth and Athens and Ephesus and other major cities in the Mediterranean world, he would encounter this perversion of religion that the Bible says would grieve him, vex him.

00:11:11.990 --> 00:11:14.076
It tormented his spirit.

00:11:14.076 --> 00:11:31.460
Amen, because it was just so bizarre what they did, but they had been at it for centuries, they'd had a long history of it, and all of this, all of this, and we'll get to this in two or three lessons.

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:57.282
But all of this came started back at Babylon after the flood and from Babylon went worldwide with the dispersion of languages and dispersion of cultures, that central core of many gods and a total aberration of what Noah brought off the ark, amen.

00:11:57.282 --> 00:11:59.730
All of that just went worldwide.

00:11:59.730 --> 00:12:04.235
So it's not unusual that we have all these different gods, amen.

00:12:04.235 --> 00:12:05.620
And that is, have all these different gods Amen.

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:25.455
And that is what Jezebel does Through false religion, through perversion, through sexual and oftentimes the mixing of religion and sex into these bizarre kinds of combinations.

00:12:25.455 --> 00:12:27.820
That's what Jezebel does.

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:41.640
Death and hell, primarily, is concerned with keeping people in bondage to what the Bible calls the haunting fear of death their whole life, their whole life.

00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:59.399
And so if we can keep people death minded Instead of life minded, they will not search for life, they'll search for escape from death.

00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:05.567
See the difference Jesus Jesus was was.

00:13:05.567 --> 00:13:19.200
If you read what, how Jesus approached this subject, you'll find out that Jesus didn't teach escape from death.

00:13:22.287 --> 00:13:31.705
Matter of fact, you've got to go through death to enter into life, but that death is not this haunting specter out there that's going to plunge you into an eternal abyss.

00:13:31.705 --> 00:13:35.011
It is something that you don't even have to see it.

00:13:35.011 --> 00:13:36.094
You can go right by it.

00:13:36.094 --> 00:13:40.429
You just put down this tent, this body, and you enter into something else.

00:13:40.429 --> 00:13:41.981
But you do have to go through it.

00:13:41.981 --> 00:13:43.730
You can't avoid it.

00:13:43.730 --> 00:13:53.791
And if you know that you can't avoid it, and if you know that you can't avoid that death, then you'll also you'll quickly learn that you can't avoid the little deaths that you have to go through every day.

00:13:53.791 --> 00:14:04.830
Because if you're all the time avoiding, trying to avoid the big death, you're gonna avoid anything that looks like there's somebody.

00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:05.652
Help me here, amen.

00:14:05.652 --> 00:14:07.918
You're going to avoid anything that looks like it Somebody.

00:14:07.918 --> 00:14:08.279
Help me here, amen.

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.551
You're going to avoid everything that has the sense of death about it.

00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.169
You'll never come into an agreement with what Paul said, that I die daily.

00:14:16.169 --> 00:14:27.668
You'll never do that as long as you are in the haunting fear of death, because you can't ask the question what can they do to you?

00:14:27.668 --> 00:14:31.921
Well, they can kill me, you know.

00:14:31.921 --> 00:14:41.895
But when Jesus brings you out of that and into his life, when somebody says, well, what can they do to you?

00:14:41.895 --> 00:14:52.749
They can't do anything to me, there's nothing they can do to me, I mean, it may hurt, I may not like it, but they can't do anything to me.

00:14:52.749 --> 00:14:55.125
If they could do anything to you or me.

00:14:55.125 --> 00:14:56.408
They would have done it a long time ago.

00:14:56.408 --> 00:14:57.351
They'd have been done with us.

00:14:57.351 --> 00:15:00.245
They'd have done it a long time before.

00:15:00.245 --> 00:15:07.739
You know, thousands of people got saved, thousands of people got filled with the Holy Ghost before thousands of people got saved, thousands of people got filled with the Holy Ghost, thousands of people got healed.

00:15:07.739 --> 00:15:10.950
They wouldn't have waited until after that and figured out, hey, we better get rid of this guy.

00:15:10.950 --> 00:15:14.760
Glory to God, anyway.

00:15:15.924 --> 00:15:21.267
So that leaves us with the spirit of Antichrist and the spirit of Antichrist.

00:15:21.267 --> 00:15:32.110
If there's one thing, if there's such a thing as first among equals, this would be the spirit of Antichrist.

00:15:32.110 --> 00:15:49.539
And in this kingdom is lawlessness, hatred, hatred.

00:15:49.539 --> 00:16:06.293
The only false religion that is allocated to the kingdom of Antichrist is Islam, and the only sexual sin that's allocated to that kingdom is homosexuality.

00:16:06.293 --> 00:16:13.066
Because, why?

00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:16.428
Because it's anti-life.

00:16:24.179 --> 00:16:45.750
Now, the fact of the matter that we're going to be discussing for many, many, many, many times is this God's at war, not only with the devil, but specifically he is at war with the spirit of Antichrist.

00:16:45.750 --> 00:16:59.854
And that is because, now see, when I mention Antichrist, you know the religious world will immediately go to the Antichrist is going to sit in the temple.

00:16:59.854 --> 00:17:05.808
The temple is going to be rebuilt, the Antichrist is going to sit in the temple and the Antichrist is going to come from Syria.

00:17:05.808 --> 00:17:08.133
And the Antichrist is probably in the earth right now.

00:17:08.133 --> 00:17:14.973
And you know, we've got all this fixation on this man of lawlessness Right.

00:17:14.973 --> 00:17:21.192
But John, 2000 years ago, said there are many Antichrist in the earth right now.

00:17:21.192 --> 00:17:23.644
Antichrist is here.

00:17:23.644 --> 00:17:24.930
Amen, in the earth right now.

00:17:24.930 --> 00:17:25.392
The Antichrist is here.

00:17:25.392 --> 00:17:25.491
Amen.

00:17:25.491 --> 00:17:41.208
And in fact, when you look back, going back, the Antichrist has been in the earth and has been at war with God for at least 6,000 years and a lot longer than that.

00:17:41.208 --> 00:17:43.728
But we're going to limit it to that.

00:17:43.728 --> 00:17:52.417
Amen, praise God.

00:17:56.660 --> 00:18:09.931
Now, the way this whole thing started was at the end of 2020, I heard a prophecy that said this, and there's been a few things that I've heard in my lifetime that have just never left me, and this is one of them.

00:18:09.931 --> 00:18:25.769
The prophecy said this that God was going to do miracles upon the earth in these days that have never been done before and have never been witnessed by human flesh.

00:18:25.769 --> 00:18:31.970
I got to thinking about that and I went home and I I started thinking.

00:18:31.970 --> 00:18:32.971
I said, does that mean?

00:18:32.971 --> 00:18:35.243
And I kind of went back in my mind.

00:18:35.243 --> 00:18:41.122
You know, does that mean greater than this, greater than this, greater than this, greater than this?

00:18:41.122 --> 00:18:42.923
And so I asked the lord.

00:18:42.923 --> 00:18:44.664
I said is that what that means?

00:18:44.664 --> 00:18:45.625
He said yes.

00:18:45.625 --> 00:18:51.011
And then the Lord began to teach me.

00:18:54.674 --> 00:19:04.628
And when we look back on the history of great miracles in the Bible, I'm talking Noah in the flood.

00:19:04.628 --> 00:19:06.250
I'm talking Noah and the flood.

00:19:06.250 --> 00:19:07.932
I'm talking Nimrod.

00:19:07.932 --> 00:19:11.037
I'm talking Moses in the Red Sea.

00:19:11.037 --> 00:19:15.553
I'm talking Joshua and the battle with the Amorites.

00:19:15.553 --> 00:19:17.859
I'm talking, you know, david and Goliath.

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:20.703
I'm talking all of these major things.

00:19:22.645 --> 00:20:06.133
God showed me that they were manifestations of this ongoing warfare with the spirit of the Antichrist and that in each instance, the Antichrist was trying to eradicate some ministry of Jesus off of the planet so that if he could substitute something else for the real manifestation of the ministry of Jesus, then when Jesus finally came, there would be no expectancy of Jesus fulfilling that ministry in his fleshly appearance.

00:20:06.133 --> 00:20:09.307
Do you follow what I'm saying?

00:20:09.307 --> 00:20:14.131
We're going to study tonight about Abel?

00:20:14.131 --> 00:20:16.781
That's going to be where we're going to go tonight.

00:20:16.781 --> 00:20:45.827
The manifestation that was up for grabs, if you will, or up for warfare whoever won the battle was going to eradicate that okay was the blood sacrifice, the necessity of a blood sacrifice.

00:20:45.847 --> 00:20:53.450
Now, we know, see, we know things from this side of Calvary and we know things from this side of the New Testament.

00:20:53.450 --> 00:21:00.650
We know that it says in the book of Hebrews without the shedding of blood there is no remittance right.

00:21:00.650 --> 00:21:11.626
We know these things, but I guarantee you Cain did not know these things.

00:21:11.626 --> 00:21:15.157
But I guarantee you, cain did not know these things.

00:21:15.157 --> 00:21:15.839
Praise God.

00:21:16.923 --> 00:21:53.777
So let's turn for just a moment to the third chapter of the book of Genesis, and I'm going to take you to a very familiar point of scripture, genesis 3.14.

00:21:53.777 --> 00:22:05.851
Adam and Eve have just been caught in the act of eating the fruit.

00:22:05.851 --> 00:22:12.425
The Lord, god, said to the woman in verse 13, what is this that you have done?

00:22:12.425 --> 00:22:14.728
The woman said the serpent deceived me and I ate.

00:22:14.728 --> 00:22:27.409
So the Lord said to the serpent Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle and more than every beast of the field, and on your belly you shall go and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:28.903
Verse 15,.

00:22:28.903 --> 00:23:02.846
This is the verse I want to talk about, and I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed, and he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel, your head, and you shall bruise his heel Now, for good reason and for falling in love, with obvious explanations.

00:23:02.846 --> 00:23:13.502
Everybody thinks the woman in verse 15 is Eve and you would think that because there's a reference to the woman in verse 13,.

00:23:13.502 --> 00:23:16.460
There's a reference to the woman in verse 16.

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:34.400
Amen, but the reference to the woman in verse 15 cannot be Eve, and the reason simply is because Eve doesn't have seeds.

00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:40.596
She has eggs.

00:23:40.596 --> 00:23:52.382
If she is going to bring forth fruit, a seed has to be placed into her egg.

00:23:52.382 --> 00:23:56.277
She doesn't know this yet.

00:23:56.277 --> 00:24:00.781
I mean, she hasn't had, you know, has it brought forth.

00:24:00.869 --> 00:24:19.454
But anyway, the point of this is that that woman is not Eve, which means that we have, at this meeting, we have God, we have the serpent, we have Adam, we have Eve and we have another woman.

00:24:19.454 --> 00:24:38.782
That woman is the church, that woman is the body of Christ, that woman is the woman that's in Revelation, chapter 12, that flies to the moon and bears a man, child, amen.

00:24:38.782 --> 00:24:48.669
And then comes back to earth and the earth swallows up.

00:24:48.669 --> 00:24:53.049
You know, satan chases after her and releases a water to drown her and the earth swallows up the water and hides the woman for a season.

00:24:53.049 --> 00:24:54.289
You remember that story in Revelation?

00:24:54.289 --> 00:24:58.981
That's this woman, because she is the one who will bear the seed.

00:24:58.981 --> 00:25:23.181
Okay, the seed is in seed form until Jesus raises from the dead and then the seed transforms from seed form into the new creation and becomes the seed, transforms from seed form into the new creation and becomes the manifestation of the seed.

00:25:25.231 --> 00:25:26.195
Paul said it this way.

00:25:26.195 --> 00:25:36.863
He said God made a promise to Abraham and to his seed, the seed not being many, and most Bibles translate that word seed as descendants.

00:25:36.863 --> 00:25:42.181
But Paul said it wasn't made to many seeds, it was made to one seed and that seed was Christ.

00:25:42.181 --> 00:25:53.657
Amen, the seed that's being talked about here, her seed is that man-child Christ that came out of this woman.

00:25:53.657 --> 00:25:58.409
Hello, are you with me so far?

00:25:58.409 --> 00:26:00.674
This woman, hello, are you with me so far?

00:26:00.674 --> 00:26:06.536
Just think of it this way.

00:26:07.851 --> 00:26:15.638
Normally you would think look at it this way there's Adam, there's Eve, there's God, there's a devil, and that's how most people interpret this meeting.

00:26:15.638 --> 00:26:35.617
But since Eve doesn't carry seeds, then he cannot be talking to her and her seed, because the seed listen, jesus is not the seed of Mary.

00:26:35.617 --> 00:26:41.403
What he got from Mary was a flesh body.

00:26:41.403 --> 00:26:49.213
What he got from God was the destiny of the new creation and that destiny was planted.

00:26:49.213 --> 00:26:54.463
That seed of the new creation was planted in Mary, but it wasn't her seed.

00:26:54.463 --> 00:26:59.851
If it was her seed, we would all be born of Mary and not be born of God.

00:26:59.951 --> 00:27:01.472
I'm feeling the Holy Ghost here.

00:27:01.472 --> 00:27:03.636
I'm seeing this for the.

00:27:03.636 --> 00:27:17.565
If this was normal seed amen by generational procreation, amen then we would all be born of Mary and not be born of God.

00:27:17.565 --> 00:27:20.920
But the Bible says that we are born of God.

00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:27.079
So if we are born of God, then just take it backwards.

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:32.321
If we are born of God, then Jesus cannot be the seed of Mary.

00:27:32.321 --> 00:27:35.259
He is the seed of God.

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:40.349
He is the seed of God.

00:27:40.349 --> 00:27:46.201
And furthermore, when he spoke to Abraham back then, he was speaking to Abraham and the Christ to the seed.

00:27:46.201 --> 00:27:49.440
So you can take this one step further.

00:27:49.670 --> 00:27:51.538
There's now six people at this meeting.

00:27:51.538 --> 00:28:01.417
There's God, there's the devil, there's Adam, there's Eve, there's the woman and there's the seed.

00:28:01.417 --> 00:28:08.420
And he says to the devil he said looky here.

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:31.859
He said I don't know what you think you're doing, but you have just fought big trouble, because not only am I against you, but this woman is against you and this seed is against you and you may bruise his heel, but he is going to crush your head.

00:28:35.311 --> 00:28:36.958
Now, this is God Almighty talking.

00:28:36.958 --> 00:28:37.454
There's not room.

00:28:37.454 --> 00:28:38.286
This is God the man, god Almighty talking.

00:28:38.286 --> 00:28:38.630
There's not room.

00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:44.739
This is God the man of war talking, and he's not leaving any wiggle room for the devil.

00:28:44.739 --> 00:28:49.769
But you know, the problem with the devil is that he's chronically brain dead.

00:28:49.769 --> 00:28:56.144
I mean, he's stuck in this hatred of God that doesn't know any.

00:28:56.144 --> 00:28:58.655
What's the word I'm looking for?

00:28:58.655 --> 00:29:04.661
It won't be tamed, it won't be smoothed over.

00:29:04.661 --> 00:29:09.082
He's just all the time hating God and it blinds him for what's coming.

00:29:09.082 --> 00:29:14.089
God announces it, tells him what's going to happen, and he still goes ahead and does it anyway.

00:29:14.089 --> 00:29:21.450
And he still goes ahead and does it anyway.

00:29:21.450 --> 00:29:30.380
So here's what I'm trying to get you to see in this little digression here is that God's declaring war on the devil.

00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:33.675
He said this is it.

00:29:33.675 --> 00:29:43.500
I told you back in, told you it back in heaven, what was going to happen if you mess with Adam and you mess with Eve.

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:44.715
I told you what was going to happen.

00:29:44.715 --> 00:29:46.295
Now it's going to happen.

00:29:46.295 --> 00:29:55.018
I am declaring war on you and all the sons and daughters of Satan that will be born out of this disobedience.

00:29:55.018 --> 00:30:00.038
I am declaring war Now you go well, that's kind of strong.

00:30:00.038 --> 00:30:01.395
You think that's strong.

00:30:01.395 --> 00:30:13.416
You ask Noah if that's strong Because Noah was tasked with executing the terms of surrender to the devil before the flood.

00:30:15.373 --> 00:30:16.678
I'll get to that next time.

00:30:16.678 --> 00:30:27.250
But the terms of surrender were read to the devil and then said look, all of your seed are about to be wiped off the planet.

00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:29.319
You don't think I'm serious.

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:30.865
You better get better.

00:30:30.865 --> 00:30:39.723
Get busy thinking I'm serious, because if you don't think I'm serious, we're going to keep dancing this tune until you are eradicated.

00:30:43.471 --> 00:30:58.141
Now I'm here to tell you that the history of the earth, or of mankind upon the earth since Adam, has been one long warfare dance of the devil being taught this lesson.

00:30:58.141 --> 00:31:20.940
You don't mess with me and you don't mess with mine, and every time you raise up against mine like a flood, the spirit of God is going to raise up a standard against you and you're going to wish you had never seen the day.

00:31:20.940 --> 00:31:35.703
Some of the most amazing miracles that have ever been recorded on the planet are because the devil just is a hard case and won't learn the lesson, amen.

00:31:35.703 --> 00:31:43.678
So here's God declaring war on him, and it won't be.

00:31:43.678 --> 00:31:52.181
It won't come to an end until the devil can no longer molest the people of God.

00:31:53.393 --> 00:31:59.200
And the key for that that God knew and the devil never did know was the second creation.

00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:13.306
Because in the second creation, amen we are going to be created in a way that we cannot possibly fall for the same trick that he tricked Adam and Eve with.

00:32:13.306 --> 00:32:15.055
We can't do it.

00:32:15.055 --> 00:32:16.239
We're not made for that.

00:32:16.239 --> 00:32:17.837
Adam and Eve were made for that.

00:32:17.837 --> 00:32:18.722
We're not made for that.

00:32:18.722 --> 00:32:19.366
Adam and Eve were made for that.

00:32:19.366 --> 00:32:19.849
We're not made for that.

00:32:19.849 --> 00:32:32.819
We have been born again into a different creation, to where we can know the difference, discern the difference of good and evil.

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:36.615
We can walk in this and not fall flat on our face like they did.

00:32:36.615 --> 00:32:40.482
Amen, praise God.

00:32:40.482 --> 00:32:43.531
Yes, so really is.

00:32:43.692 --> 00:32:56.240
It at this point is when he is declaring war on Satan and Jesus is going to be the most innocent.

00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:03.864
And the woman, the church and the body.

00:33:03.864 --> 00:33:07.298
See, that's the thing.

00:33:07.298 --> 00:33:09.520
That's the thing that you know.

00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:13.198
You can't dump it all on Jesus' shoulders, because Jesus won't let that happen.

00:33:13.198 --> 00:33:18.516
The second creation was created for his body.

00:33:18.516 --> 00:33:22.221
How they do you?

00:33:22.221 --> 00:33:27.051
So what happens next?

00:33:27.051 --> 00:33:32.917
Eve conceives and bears a child.

00:33:32.917 --> 00:33:35.559
Child's name is Cain.

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:43.010
Soon after, she conceives and bears another child Child's name is Abel.

00:33:43.010 --> 00:33:46.773
They grow up into adulthood.

00:33:46.773 --> 00:33:55.421
You know the story One day, god requires a sacrifice.

00:33:55.721 --> 00:33:57.303
Now, how did God?

00:33:57.303 --> 00:34:03.932
How did these men learn what God required as far as the sacrifice was?

00:34:03.932 --> 00:34:14.233
Well, the first sacrifice, the first record of a blood sacrifice, amen, was what God did.

00:34:14.233 --> 00:34:25.637
Bible says that when Adam and Eve sinned, the first thing they noticed was that they were naked, and so they covered themselves with leaves.

00:34:25.637 --> 00:34:29.579
But God would not leave it at that.

00:34:29.579 --> 00:34:48.898
Now, if Cain would have just paid attention and learned that leaves, vegetables don't cover sin, then he would have understood that a blood sacrifice is the only thing that will cover sin.

00:34:48.898 --> 00:34:55.599
But Adam and Eve had the vegetable.

00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:02.603
Just think of it this way they had salad on for clothes, okay.

00:35:02.603 --> 00:35:06.492
And God said that's not going to do so.

00:35:06.492 --> 00:35:15.661
Who was it that killed the lamb that made the clothes that Adam and Eve wore?

00:35:15.661 --> 00:35:21.737
God made the clothes that Adam and Eve wore.

00:35:21.737 --> 00:35:26.744
God as a foreshadowing of what would happen at Calvary.

00:35:26.744 --> 00:36:03.077
And if there's any sense of destiny and space and time with God, I guarantee you that those lambs were slaughtered on the precise point where the cross would go in the ground, just the way that Adam or Abraham had to go to that precise point and offer up Isaac, praise God.

00:36:03.257 --> 00:36:15.559
So in this family, god is teaching them that because now that sin has entered into the world, there has to be a sacrifice for sin.

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:18.224
And God's teaching them.

00:36:18.224 --> 00:36:34.422
And God's teaching them, if he preached the gospel to Abraham and he preached the gospel to Noah and he preached the gospel to Adam and he preached the gospel to his sons and he explained to them about the necessity of the blood sacrifice, this has to be.

00:36:34.422 --> 00:36:46.954
If you're going to offer me a sacrifice for Thanksgiving, then bring whatever what you will, but if you're offering up a sacrifice for sin, there has to be a blood component to it.

00:36:46.954 --> 00:36:54.451
Something has to die, death has to be involved, blood has to be shed.

00:36:54.451 --> 00:36:55.753
Are you following this?

00:36:55.753 --> 00:36:57.317
Amen?

00:36:57.317 --> 00:37:00.824
You just can't offer up anything you want to to atone for sin.

00:37:00.824 --> 00:37:05.181
Now, if you're giving a Thanksgiving offering or a yay, I'm happy.

00:37:05.181 --> 00:37:12.130
Or thank you for giving me a new child, or something like that, that's fine, amen.

00:37:12.130 --> 00:37:19.992
But I mean Job taught us this that Job sacrificed every morning for his children just in case they might sin.

00:37:19.992 --> 00:37:24.634
Hope we did, god.

00:37:24.634 --> 00:37:28.835
I didn't have that luxury.

00:37:28.835 --> 00:37:30.342
I figured you know they were.

00:37:30.342 --> 00:37:32.282
There wasn't any way they were gonna.

00:37:32.282 --> 00:37:36.184
They were gonna anyway, praise God.

00:37:41.427 --> 00:37:56.565
Adam Eve, two boys and whoever else they had brought into the world, were learning about this from God, god being the first one to do it and then continued to show them.

00:37:56.565 --> 00:38:00.606
Adam or Abel learned, did he not?

00:38:00.606 --> 00:38:10.427
Cain may have learned, but he chose not to obey.

00:38:10.427 --> 00:38:16.885
Don't think that Cain didn't learn, he learned.

00:38:16.885 --> 00:38:21.114
Now, why is this so important?

00:38:21.114 --> 00:38:29.304
It was important because this is the first, the first we've been talking about first words and first principles.

00:38:29.914 --> 00:38:35.387
The first principle of the incarnation of Christ is that he is going to have to die.

00:38:35.387 --> 00:38:50.389
The blood has to be spilled Listen to me very carefully Not only for sin committed, but for sin that could potentially be committed.

00:38:50.389 --> 00:38:58.485
Job sacrificed for sin that might or might not be committed.

00:38:58.485 --> 00:39:04.155
Amen, oh hallelujah.

00:39:04.155 --> 00:39:09.228
The Bible says that Job was a was a man of righteousness.

00:39:09.228 --> 00:39:10.516
Amen.

00:39:10.516 --> 00:39:13.065
There was no one like under Job.

00:39:13.065 --> 00:39:19.547
I mean, how would you like like it if God threw you open to Satan?

00:39:19.547 --> 00:39:21.242
Have at him Satan, just don't kill him.

00:39:21.242 --> 00:39:29.648
He had that much faith in Job's righteousness that he acquired from God.

00:39:30.114 --> 00:39:55.916
So, anyway, this God was trying to teach these first people that a blood sacrifice was absolutely required to offer up for sin, amen.

00:39:55.916 --> 00:39:59.724
Not that it could do anything about the sin.

00:39:59.724 --> 00:40:03.137
And he would teach them that the seed is coming.

00:40:03.137 --> 00:40:05.500
You heard me prophesy about the seed.

00:40:05.500 --> 00:40:06.961
The seed is coming.

00:40:06.961 --> 00:40:19.728
When the seed comes, he will make atonement, not with the blood of bulls or goats, but with the blood, with his own blood, amen.

00:40:20.155 --> 00:40:33.315
And so it was absolutely necessary that Adam Eve and their descendants learned that this blood sacrifice couldn't be set aside.

00:40:33.315 --> 00:40:36.699
It was an absolute first principle.

00:40:36.699 --> 00:40:41.387
The Lamb of God had to shed his own blood.

00:40:41.387 --> 00:40:43.956
There wasn't any way around it.

00:40:43.956 --> 00:40:45.822
There couldn't be a plan B.

00:40:45.822 --> 00:40:56.065
He could have sacrificed, jesus could have gone up to the temple mount and bought a thousand lambs and sacrificed them all, and it wouldn't have done a thing for the sin of the world.

00:40:57.255 --> 00:41:03.764
But the fact of the matter is that John the Baptist pointed him out and, in pointing him out, called him the Lamb of God.

00:41:03.764 --> 00:41:11.740
And in calling him the Lamb of God, he harkened all the way back to the lambs that God had slain for Adam and Eve.

00:41:11.740 --> 00:41:16.409
And not only that, but back to Abel's sacrifice.

00:41:16.409 --> 00:41:36.384
See, abel continually, whenever he offered, picked the best lamb from his flocks, the one that he had specifically been raising for sacrifice.

00:41:36.384 --> 00:41:51.387
See, it's one thing to go out and put your arrow in your bow and take the first animal that you see, kill it, need it.

00:41:51.387 --> 00:42:02.704
It's a whole other thing to raise the prize animal, the best of your flock, knowing that the day is coming when you're going to slit its throat.

00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.302
Think about the difference in mentality.

00:42:09.302 --> 00:42:16.266
Think about the difference between Esau and Jacob.

00:42:16.266 --> 00:42:19.338
Think about how that works throughout the Bible.

00:42:19.338 --> 00:42:25.101
Amen, now, as God's teaching them.

00:42:25.101 --> 00:42:27.699
Abel is obeying.

00:42:29.315 --> 00:42:40.650
Cain, on the other hand, knows that he should do this, but it's less work and more convenient just to go gather a few vegetables.

00:42:40.650 --> 00:42:58.630
Now, they both build the same fire, they both go through the same prayers, they both go through the same motions, except one offers blood and the other offers corn on the cob.

00:42:58.630 --> 00:43:00.338
You know I mean.

00:43:00.338 --> 00:43:09.574
One offers blood, one offers vegetables, one offers blood, one offers vegetables, one offers animals.

00:43:09.574 --> 00:43:14.655
One offers something that could not bring forth blood if you squeezed it until the cows came home.

00:43:14.655 --> 00:43:35.835
There's no blood in it, and this was so important that that belief go down through the generations so that when Jesus came, amen.

00:43:38.262 --> 00:44:03.208
It may not be obvious to everyone that the Messiah had to die for the nation, but Caiaphas, in spite of himself as the high priest that year, and not even a legitimate high priest, but the Holy Ghost still moved on him to prophesy that Jesus had to die for the nation, and not only the nation of the Jews, but for those that were afar off.

00:44:03.208 --> 00:44:10.590
Glory to God, those that were afar off glory to God.

00:44:10.590 --> 00:44:13.423
Jesus could not escape the destiny that awaited him.

00:44:13.423 --> 00:44:36.550
But if this expectation was not in the earth amen, if the devil could steal and rob that expectation out of the earth, then there would be no expectation when the seed came.

00:44:36.550 --> 00:44:38.362
Now, they didn't know when the seed was going to come.

00:44:38.362 --> 00:44:41.262
They didn't know it was going to be 4,000 years.

00:44:41.262 --> 00:44:43.222
They thought it might be next week.

00:44:43.222 --> 00:44:44.416
They didn't know.

00:44:45.760 --> 00:45:02.425
But if there's no expectation of a blood sacrifice, then when the seed comes he'll just bypass Calvary and figure out some other way to do it, which was exactly what the devil hit him with in the wilderness.

00:45:02.425 --> 00:45:04.007
You not get this.

00:45:04.007 --> 00:45:08.195
I mean wilderness.

00:45:08.195 --> 00:45:08.596
You not get this.

00:45:08.596 --> 00:45:25.159
I mean, as soon as he was in the wilderness, he hit him with the same temptations he hit Adam with, and precisely hit him with the same temptations that would deny the blood sacrifice Go up on the top of the temple and jump off, descend down in the midst of the Jews and say, here I am.

00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:33.202
Well, they're not going to demand that you go to Calvary, not with that kind of an entrance.

00:45:33.202 --> 00:45:47.065
You know, if you're the ruler of all the nations of the earth, they're not going to take you to Calvary, they're going to make you king, they're going to make you the supreme ruler of the earth.

00:45:47.065 --> 00:46:00.842
If you take this bread and change it, and take these rocks and change it into bread and have a little sandwich here, nobody's going to say anything to you, but you won't have to go to Calvary if you do it.

00:46:00.842 --> 00:46:11.601
The miracle working power that you display on the basis of the people I mean, as soon as he fed the 5,000, they wanted to come and take him and make him king.

00:46:11.601 --> 00:46:15.681
Well, if they make him king, two things are going to happen.

00:46:15.681 --> 00:46:24.824
He's either going to be slaughtered by the rulers of the day, or else they're going to have to vacate and run out of town, and he's going to be king, and in either case he's not going to go to Calvary.

00:46:24.824 --> 00:46:29.715
Going to be king and in either case he's not going to go to Calvary.

00:46:29.715 --> 00:46:43.081
See what I'm saying If the blood sacrifice is taken out, then Jesus, when it comes to his day, will find a way around Calvary.

00:46:47.697 --> 00:46:48.963
And God couldn't let that happen.

00:46:48.963 --> 00:47:00.822
So he worked in Abel and he taught Cain, but Cain would not obey.

00:47:00.822 --> 00:47:10.809
And so when this day came, that Abel brought his sacrifice, and it was pleasing to God.

00:47:10.809 --> 00:47:17.726
And Cain brought another sacrifice, and it was not pleasing to God.

00:47:17.726 --> 00:47:25.867
Cain fully inhabited by the spirit of Antichrist.

00:47:25.867 --> 00:47:38.653
Fully inhabited by the spirit of Antichrist, and knowing, listen to this, you know what it means.

00:47:38.653 --> 00:47:43.561
I'm going to broaden your horizon a little bit right now.

00:47:43.561 --> 00:47:44.262
We think this.

00:47:44.262 --> 00:48:15.610
This is what we think, because this is what we've been taught and and you know we don't ever think any further than this we think that when, when Abel's sacrifice, when the smoke of that sacrifice reached up to heaven and and it was a sweet, smelling savor to God, and when that that those rutabagas got burned up in the fire and and you know, and it came up to God as a great stench.

00:48:15.610 --> 00:48:19.875
You know God was happy with the barbecue, but he hated the vegetables.

00:48:19.875 --> 00:48:23.322
You know we get all these kind of stupid, you know.

00:48:23.804 --> 00:48:26.177
Interpretations to that Amen.

00:48:26.177 --> 00:48:28.692
The Bible said it.

00:48:28.692 --> 00:48:29.295
Interpretations to that Amen.

00:48:29.295 --> 00:48:31.599
The Bible said it was pleasing to him.

00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:33.545
The other one was not pleasing to him.

00:48:33.545 --> 00:48:39.650
Why was it pleasing?

00:48:39.650 --> 00:48:48.335
Because it determined where the bloodline would go.

00:48:48.335 --> 00:48:51.856
See, there was no.

00:48:51.876 --> 00:48:52.556
At this point, we had C, had Cain.

00:48:52.556 --> 00:49:04.028
At this point we had Abel and we didn't know where the seed was going to come from, at Abel's obedience.

00:49:04.028 --> 00:49:19.338
But Abel's obedience was so pleasing to God that he decreed in the heavens that the bloodline was going to come through Abel.

00:49:19.338 --> 00:49:27.449
It was not pleasing to him what Cain did and he took the right of the firstborn away from Cain and gave it to Abel.

00:49:27.449 --> 00:49:29.090
Have we heard this movie before?

00:49:29.090 --> 00:49:36.717
Have we seen this movie before?

00:49:36.717 --> 00:49:39.003
Where the firstborn, the right of the firstborn, are we talking of Esau and Jacob?

00:49:39.003 --> 00:49:40.746
Are we talking of some others?

00:49:40.746 --> 00:49:49.387
Where God overlooked the older brothers of David and anointed the 15-year-old kid that was working in the fields?

00:49:49.387 --> 00:49:51.981
Have we seen this movie?

00:49:51.981 --> 00:49:53.304
Don't worry about God.

00:49:53.304 --> 00:50:00.666
And he took the birthright away from Cain and gave it to Abel.

00:50:00.826 --> 00:50:02.909
And that's what angered Abel.

00:50:02.909 --> 00:50:08.516
He didn't get angry just because God smiled at Abel and frowned at Cain.

00:50:08.516 --> 00:50:10.039
That wasn't it.

00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:21.005
It was the fact that the, the seed promise, passed from the firstborn to the secondborn, based on obedience and based on the blood.

00:50:21.005 --> 00:50:26.494
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:50:26.494 --> 00:50:34.547
Why is that so important because the antichrist hated it.

00:50:34.547 --> 00:50:40.282
He hated it that he had not been able to corrupt.

00:50:40.282 --> 00:50:49.806
See, if Cain disobeyed and the seed was going to be given to him anyway because he was the firstborn, all bets were off.

00:50:49.806 --> 00:51:04.429
And here what God did was he changed the order of things, based on obedience to his word and based on the blood covering that Abel provided through his sacrifice.

00:51:05.996 --> 00:51:11.869
Now what happens next is that Cain Antichrist sees that the gig is up.

00:51:11.869 --> 00:51:18.367
No matter what he does now, the seed is not coming through him, it's going to come through Abel.

00:51:18.367 --> 00:51:23.648
He picks up a stone, bashes Abel's head in and said now, what are you going to do?

00:51:23.648 --> 00:51:28.574
And said now, what are you going to do?

00:51:28.574 --> 00:51:30.358
That's exactly what happened.

00:51:30.358 --> 00:51:36.414
It was all about the blood, it was all about the blood covering, it was all about the blood sacrifice and it was all about the seed.

00:51:36.414 --> 00:51:38.563
It's always about the seed.

00:51:38.563 --> 00:51:40.840
You got to say that.

00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:43.364
It's always about the seed.

00:51:43.364 --> 00:51:49.360
Everything in the Bible is about the seed, one way or the seed.

00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.494
Everything in the Bible is about the seed, one way or the other.

00:51:56.217 --> 00:52:11.306
Now what happened next is that, instead of receiving the seed, like Cain thought the promise of the seed, like Cain thought the promise of the seed.

00:52:11.306 --> 00:52:36.503
He got the promise of the mark and now, wherever he went, men would know that this son of Adam is not the anointed one, he is not the anointed, he is not the anointed one, he is not the anointed, he is not the anointed, he is the anti-anointed, he is the anti-Christ.

00:52:36.503 --> 00:52:41.103
Now, where else do we see a mark?

00:52:41.103 --> 00:52:54.041
And you think that God didn't write this here?

00:52:54.041 --> 00:52:59.623
We are all the way at the end, at the other end of the Bible, and men are receiving the mark.

00:52:59.623 --> 00:53:05.336
That is the mark of Cain, it's the mark of a man, it's not the mark of the seed.

00:53:12.965 --> 00:53:22.653
And wherever Cain went, men would know because, listen, folks, we're not talking about a planet with 8 billion people on it.

00:53:22.653 --> 00:53:28.003
You know we're talking how many people on it?

00:53:28.003 --> 00:53:30.168
You know we're talking how many, how many, how many?

00:53:30.168 --> 00:53:31.030
You know I'm not going to.

00:53:31.030 --> 00:53:37.782
I'm not going to go get tedious with you and talk about the race of men that were born before Adam, that were not sons of God.

00:53:37.782 --> 00:53:44.860
I'm not going to go there because, you know, obviously Cain had to marry somebody, and it wasn't his sister, you know.

00:53:44.860 --> 00:53:56.664
And there was a woman that lived in Nod, east of Eden, and so if she was lived there, she had a mother and a father and probably some brothers and sisters that weren't related to Cain.

00:53:56.664 --> 00:53:59.260
Amen, because that would be incest.

00:53:59.260 --> 00:54:06.445
I mean, it reminds me of the story of this.

00:54:06.585 --> 00:54:11.181
One guy called up the pastor and said I've got to come over and ask you a question.

00:54:11.181 --> 00:54:12.264
He said what is it?

00:54:12.264 --> 00:54:13.581
He said no, no, I've got to come over.

00:54:13.581 --> 00:54:14.840
It's 2 o'clock in the morning.

00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:16.179
I've got to come over right now.

00:54:16.179 --> 00:54:20.402
Okay, comes over, gets the pastor out of bed.

00:54:20.402 --> 00:54:24.494
You know what's your question.

00:54:24.494 --> 00:54:28.666
He says where did Cain's wife come from?

00:54:28.666 --> 00:54:33.543
He said from Nod, east of Eden.

00:54:33.543 --> 00:54:35.581
You idiot, you woke me up for this.

00:54:35.581 --> 00:54:36.878
Get out of my house.

00:54:36.878 --> 00:54:40.847
Hope for you to God.

00:54:40.847 --> 00:54:57.726
There are these people, cain now.

00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:12.541
I mean, what I was trying to say is that everybody knew about the promise, everybody knew that God had declared war on the devil and everybody knew that all this stuff was real.

00:55:12.541 --> 00:55:15.067
You know we are talking serpents.

00:55:15.067 --> 00:55:16.137
We've got dragons.

00:55:16.137 --> 00:55:17.159
We've got angels.

00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:19.244
We've got living trees.

00:55:19.244 --> 00:55:20.927
We've got, you know, all this stuff.

00:55:20.927 --> 00:55:24.219
We've got an Eden that nobody can get into.

00:55:24.219 --> 00:55:26.063
We've got, you know, adam.

00:55:26.063 --> 00:55:29.047
We've got Eve, the first created of God.

00:55:29.047 --> 00:55:30.349
I mean, these are real.

00:55:30.349 --> 00:55:32.742
You know, these aren't stories.

00:55:32.742 --> 00:55:37.239
These people are real and everybody knew.

00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:39.884
And as soon as Cain got the mark, they knew.

00:55:39.884 --> 00:55:54.626
And as soon as Cain got the mark, the next thing that happens is that Eve conceived and she brought forth a son whose name was Seth.

00:55:54.626 --> 00:56:03.188
And now Cain was really upset because he knew what was going to happen.

00:56:03.188 --> 00:56:08.983
He could not receive the promise.

00:56:08.983 --> 00:56:20.922
And they kept Seth and they protected him, and the promise of the seed came to Seth.

00:56:26.577 --> 00:57:01.481
But I want you to hear what the book of Hebrews says, that when Jesus came and sacrificed himself according to the blood sacrifice requirement of God, the Bible says that His blood now speaks a better word than whose, abel's.

00:57:01.481 --> 00:57:27.965
Hear what the Word of God says that until Jesus shed his blood on Calvary, the blood of Abel spoke for the righteousness of God and the blood covering of his promise.

00:57:27.965 --> 00:57:33.764
That's how righteous this man, abel, was.

00:57:33.764 --> 00:57:41.684
His blood spoke to God.

00:57:41.684 --> 00:57:45.675
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:57:45.675 --> 00:57:48.681
His blood spoke.

00:57:48.681 --> 00:58:17.092
Not only his blood, but the blood sacrifice that he offered spoke to god for 4 000 years to be merciful, for 4 000 years, to let your righteousness trump your judgment, to let your holiness and your mercy reign supreme, to look forward to Calvary instead of looking backwards to Cain and Adam and their sin.

00:58:17.092 --> 00:58:17.675
Amen.

00:58:17.675 --> 00:58:22.202
That scripture just blows me.

00:58:22.202 --> 00:58:24.186
I can't get my hands on it.

00:58:24.186 --> 00:58:33.507
I can't get my hands on it that his blood spoke for 4,000 years until a better blood was brought before God.

00:58:33.507 --> 00:58:44.364
And when Jesus rose up from the grave we studied this just the other day and he presented that blood to God.

00:58:44.364 --> 00:58:50.126
You know who was there as a witness?

00:58:50.126 --> 00:59:08.748
Abel was there and he was rejoicing that the blood of the Lamb of God had finally been shed and that now a true and living way had been made.

00:59:08.748 --> 00:59:11.782
Hallelujah, glory to God.

00:59:15.597 --> 00:59:34.342
Now here's something we're going to learn about this ongoing battle Is that when the Spirit of God raises up a standard against Antichrist, what happened here?

00:59:34.342 --> 00:59:35.606
What was the standard?

00:59:35.606 --> 00:59:46.746
The standard was that Abel was righteous when Cain was not, that Abel did the difficult thing when the easy thing would have been.

00:59:46.746 --> 00:59:54.655
You know who knows who cares.

00:59:54.655 --> 01:00:11.887
Not only that, but the miracle was that the blood of Abel spoke before God for 4,000 years and we didn't have to listen.

01:00:11.887 --> 01:00:19.179
We didn't have to deal with the fact that the Messiah was not going to die.

01:00:19.179 --> 01:00:22.501
Hmm, are you hearing me?

01:00:22.501 --> 01:00:28.047
That battle settled the issue of the blood covering.

01:00:28.047 --> 01:00:29.809
God won.

01:00:29.809 --> 01:00:33.498
The devil didn't, that issue would not be raised up.

01:00:33.498 --> 01:00:38.228
Now would he try to get societies and cultures to bypass that?

01:00:38.228 --> 01:00:41.659
Would he try to get societies and cultures to pervert that?

01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:53.090
I stood on a place in the center of Mexico City where 25,000 virgins were sacrificed every year.

01:00:53.090 --> 01:01:02.005
Their skulls fill a cavern underneath the city streets.

01:01:02.005 --> 01:01:04.889
That is so thick and so wide.

01:01:04.889 --> 01:01:07.402
It's almost like a wall of human skulls.

01:01:07.402 --> 01:01:07.925
I've seen it.

01:01:07.925 --> 01:01:14.565
They have it down underneath the ground and they have a glass wall over it.

01:01:14.565 --> 01:01:21.465
You can't get to it to cannibalize it, but you can steal from it, but you can see it.

01:01:22.916 --> 01:01:23.619
You know what they did.

01:01:23.619 --> 01:01:26.344
You know what the church did.

01:01:26.344 --> 01:01:29.143
They built a cathedral right over the top of it.

01:01:29.143 --> 01:01:32.114
That's what I'm talking about.

01:01:32.114 --> 01:01:35.985
I'm talking about it's not enough just to do away with it.

01:01:35.985 --> 01:01:40.356
But if they, you know there was perversions of it.

01:01:40.356 --> 01:01:46.702
There was just just atrocities upon atrocities in every culture in the world.

01:01:48.804 --> 01:02:08.394
But God, through his servants, through Noah, through Moses, through David, through others, preserved the bloodline of Seth and the truth of the blood sacrifice.

01:02:08.394 --> 01:02:15.914
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:02:15.914 --> 01:02:27.726
Moses gave Israel the Passover, and from Moses to Jesus, millions of lambs were slaughtered.

01:02:27.726 --> 01:02:35.021
To etch that into their psyche, that without the shedding of blood there is no remission.

01:02:35.021 --> 01:02:39.128
Amen, I'm telling you.

01:02:39.128 --> 01:03:03.081
You know, if you're big on the third temple being built in Jerusalem, if that's your little pet project being built in Jerusalem, if that's your little pet project, you know, I'm here to tell you they're not looking for perfect lambs, they're looking for a perfect red heifer, because they know that without the shedding of blood there is no remission.

01:03:03.081 --> 01:03:05.498
Oh, where they gone?

01:03:05.498 --> 01:03:06.282
Are you hearing me?

01:03:06.282 --> 01:03:12.521
You can have all the lambs you want to, which are great for Passover, but that doesn't get you anywhere.

01:03:13.563 --> 01:03:17.079
On the day of atonement, glory to God.

01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:42.487
But I'm here to tell you that the blood of Jesus speaks a better word than not the blood of lambs, nor the blood of a red heifer, but speaks a better word than the blood of Abel, a living man who obeyed God and, rather than offend him, obeyed him and obtained the promise.

01:03:42.487 --> 01:03:47.771
Promise.

01:03:47.771 --> 01:04:01.885
And when he obtained the promise and it was taken away from Cain and taken away out of the hands of the Antichrist, the seed, the promise of the seed was preserved and the promise of the blood sacrifice to produce the seed was assured.

01:04:01.885 --> 01:04:22.704
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of God raises up a standard and said, not only will the blood sacrifice be preserved, but it will speak until the seed comes.

01:04:22.704 --> 01:04:27.668
See, the devil never figured that one.

01:04:27.668 --> 01:04:39.965
This was the first battle, the first principle, the first blood, the first fatality in the battle.

01:04:42.356 --> 01:04:54.068
We're talking about a lot of firsts here, and it all comes down to that one man, abel, who obeyed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness.

01:04:54.068 --> 01:05:13.706
He believed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness, so much so that, just like Abraham that comes many years later, the promise of the seed was passed to him because he obeyed and believed.

01:05:13.706 --> 01:05:16.331
He obeyed and believed.

01:05:16.331 --> 01:05:18.516
He believed and obeyed.

01:05:18.516 --> 01:05:26.969
He believed and obeyed, and it was counted unto him as righteousness and the seed was passed.

01:05:26.969 --> 01:05:29.762
The promise of the seed was passed.

01:05:29.762 --> 01:05:44.054
Hallelujah, praise God, father, seal this word Because in many times, lord, we have chosen the easy rather than the difficult.

01:05:44.054 --> 01:05:47.030
We have chosen the convenience of our designs rather than the difficult.

01:05:47.030 --> 01:05:51.820
We have chosen the convenience of our designs rather than the sacrifice of yours.

01:05:51.820 --> 01:06:00.202
Teach us, lord, teach us to walk in the steps that Abel showed us to walk in.

01:06:00.202 --> 01:06:06.139
Oh, give us, give you praise and honor and glory in Jesus' name.

01:06:06.139 --> 01:06:07.163
Thank you, lord.

01:06:07.163 --> 01:06:10.800
Hallelujah, glory to God.

01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:15.375
Well, bless the Lord, amen.
