What if the promises made thousands of years ago to Abraham and David hold the key to understanding the New Testament? In this episode, we embark on a journey through the genealogical significance of Matthew 1:1 and the divine covenants that shaped our spiritual heritage. By weaving in Paul's insights from Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews, we explore how Abraham's faith and God's covenant with him are central to the existence of the Bible as we know it. This discussion underscores that Abraham’s belief was pivotal to the unfolding of God's plan, affecting everyone from Moses to the present-day community of faith.

Next, we highlight the remarkable legacy of James, the brother of Jesus. Despite never being a king, James played a monumental role in early Christianity, especially during the Council of Jerusalem. His decree that Gentile believers need not follow Jewish law for salvation was a turning point, promoting the spread of Christianity beyond Jewish communities. We reflect on his deep devotion, his understanding of divine revelation, and how his leadership ensured spiritual liberty and unity among believers across generations.

Finally, we uncover the profound theological implications of Jesus' eternal priesthood in the order of Melchizedek. Drawing on scriptural passages and contrasting the Levitical priesthood of Aaron with the perfect, everlasting priesthood of Jesus, we illustrate the transition from the old covenant to the new covenant brought by Christ. Through examples such as David and his men eating the showbread, we show how these events foreshadowed Jesus' role in God's eternal plan. Join us as we unveil the connections between King David, Melchizedek, and Jesus, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises throughout biblical history.

00:00:00.442 --> 00:00:02.149
Well, praise the Lord, hallelujah.

00:00:02.149 --> 00:00:08.012
Let's turn to Galatians, the fourth chapter.

00:00:08.012 --> 00:00:17.500
I'm sorry we may be in part of that Hallelujah.

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:28.356
I want to continue on talking about why the first words in your New Testament are so important.

00:00:28.356 --> 00:00:40.832
Matthew, the first chapter, chapter 1 and verse 1, says this the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David.

00:00:40.832 --> 00:00:42.185
Why is that so important?

00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:45.067
We've spent a couple of weeks on this.

00:00:45.067 --> 00:00:56.720
Because it is important, because to Abraham and to David were made great and precious promises.

00:00:58.603 --> 00:01:04.370
Now, that's not to say that promises were not made to others, but to many people.

00:01:04.370 --> 00:01:09.283
What came to them by the Spirit of God were prophecies.

00:01:09.283 --> 00:01:15.174
For example, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son.

00:01:15.174 --> 00:01:18.667
I believe that's in the ninth chapter of the book of Isaiah.

00:01:18.667 --> 00:01:22.161
It's in the book of Isaiah anyway.

00:01:22.161 --> 00:01:28.171
A virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Emmanuel.

00:01:28.171 --> 00:01:29.495
Amen.

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:43.572
And other things like this are prophecies that were given to a prophet, knowing that they would be written down to become the posterity of a people.

00:01:43.572 --> 00:01:46.134
Amen, be written down to become become the posterity of a people.

00:01:46.134 --> 00:01:46.233
Amen.

00:01:46.233 --> 00:01:51.787
Because those prophecies would foretell certain things about the messiah.

00:01:51.787 --> 00:01:52.930
Amen.

00:01:52.930 --> 00:01:55.853
And the bible is full of those kinds of prophecies.

00:01:55.853 --> 00:01:58.646
Jacob made a prophecy, amen.

00:01:58.646 --> 00:02:00.254
Others made prophecies.

00:02:00.254 --> 00:02:02.043
David made prophecies.

00:02:02.043 --> 00:02:04.192
Others made prophecies.

00:02:04.192 --> 00:02:10.699
David made prophecies.

00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:21.754
However, to David and to Abraham were given specific promises where God literally swore by himself to fulfill those prophecies.

00:02:21.754 --> 00:02:29.689
And we talked about Abraham last time we were together about the things that God had promised him.

00:02:30.681 --> 00:02:49.061
Now, the difference between a promise and a prophecy is that in the promise, god has made a promise to a man, amen, a prophecy.

00:02:49.061 --> 00:02:50.764
In the case of the prophecies concerning Jesus, they were.

00:02:50.764 --> 00:02:55.413
They were foretelling of things that would happen.

00:02:55.413 --> 00:02:58.467
Okay, they were, they were.

00:02:58.467 --> 00:03:04.449
They were you might call them promises, but they were more of a this is going to happen.

00:03:04.449 --> 00:03:10.746
This fact, this event, this thing over here is going to happen, amen.

00:03:10.746 --> 00:03:14.253
But there's no mention really of who was the virgin.

00:03:14.253 --> 00:03:19.447
Okay, behold, a virgin shall conceive.

00:03:19.447 --> 00:03:20.649
Okay, well, what's her name?

00:03:20.649 --> 00:03:22.413
Where is she located?

00:03:22.413 --> 00:03:24.243
Where's this going to happen?

00:03:24.243 --> 00:03:26.651
You know, how will we know when it happens?

00:03:29.382 --> 00:03:46.168
It doesn't go into all those details, but when he promised Abraham, it's said in the book of Hebrews that, not having anybody else to swear by, he swore by himself, saying blessing, I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.

00:03:46.168 --> 00:03:54.967
I'm going to make you the father of many nations I'm going to make you the your, your descendancy shall be like the sands of the seashore and the stars of the sky.

00:03:54.967 --> 00:03:59.143
Amen, there, all of these things he promised to one man.

00:03:59.143 --> 00:04:09.932
And then he turns around a thousand years later when David shows up and there's a whole bunch of things that he promised to David, one man, amen.

00:04:09.932 --> 00:04:13.109
We don't have to guess about who this is to.

00:04:13.109 --> 00:04:17.107
He's talking to David.

00:04:17.107 --> 00:04:18.567
He's talking to Abraham.

00:04:18.567 --> 00:04:22.444
He's not talking to a bunch of other people, he's talking to them.

00:04:22.444 --> 00:04:24.290
Amen.

00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:28.293
We don't know who Isaiah was talking to and he said behold, a virgin shall conceive.

00:04:28.293 --> 00:04:33.490
We know that that happened, but at the time that he spoke it, we don't know who he was talking to.

00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:43.350
But there's no doubt about who you promised when he was talking to Abraham, and there's no doubt who he was talking to when he was talking to David, amen.

00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:51.148
So you see what kind of what the difference is between it, how we make these things and these two giants of the Old Testament.

00:04:51.750 --> 00:04:57.002
As I mentioned, there is more Bible written about David.

00:04:57.002 --> 00:05:01.622
His name is mentioned more than any other person in the Bible, at the exception of Jesus.

00:05:01.622 --> 00:05:03.747
Amen.

00:05:03.747 --> 00:05:07.293
And without and without Abraham there is no Bible.

00:05:07.293 --> 00:05:12.927
The Bible was never written in Abraham's time.

00:05:12.927 --> 00:05:17.444
The Bible did not become written until Moses' time.

00:05:17.444 --> 00:05:18.485
Amen.

00:05:18.887 --> 00:05:28.112
Moses was almost 500 years after Abraham, hello, 500 years after Abraham.

00:05:28.112 --> 00:05:28.413
Hello.

00:05:28.413 --> 00:05:29.142
Abraham did not have a Bible.

00:05:29.142 --> 00:05:31.071
He had Melchizedek.

00:05:31.071 --> 00:05:34.829
Amen, and Melchizedek taught him the gospel.

00:05:34.829 --> 00:06:12.384
But if Abraham had not believed God and had not been counted unto him as righteousness amen there would not be an Isaac, a Jacob, a Judah, there would not be a people of Israel in Egypt, there would not be a deliverance, there would not be an Exodus, there would not be a Moses and there would not be a Bible, because Abraham is the father not only of the circumcision but of the uncircumcised who come into the faith of Abraham by faith.

00:06:12.384 --> 00:06:14.548
Amen.

00:06:14.548 --> 00:06:15.750
Are you hearing this?

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:17.052
This is all in the Bible.

00:06:17.052 --> 00:06:17.793
You can read this.

00:06:17.793 --> 00:06:19.740
It's all there.

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:21.702
It's all there.

00:06:22.182 --> 00:06:50.370
Paul took great pains to explain the importance of Abraham in both the book of Romans and in the book of Galatians and in the book of Hebrews, because it's foundational to who we are, not as Jews or not as replacement Israel, but as the people of God by faith.

00:06:50.370 --> 00:07:05.706
It says real clearly that was Abraham justified by his obedience to circumcision or was he justified on the basis of his obedience to the word before circumcision.

00:07:05.706 --> 00:07:31.596
Paul says definitely before circumcision, so that he could be the father of both those who are circumcised by faith.

00:07:31.596 --> 00:07:31.935
Point.

00:07:31.935 --> 00:07:38.610
When Noah came off the ark, everybody that ever was going to live was going to belong to Noah in some sense.

00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:40.533
Okay.

00:07:40.533 --> 00:07:43.682
But Abraham becomes this intersection.

00:07:43.682 --> 00:07:45.283
Okay, everybody's coming this intersection.

00:07:45.283 --> 00:07:46.704
Okay, everybody's coming off the ark.

00:07:46.966 --> 00:07:48.906
They would say everybody's coming off the ark.

00:07:48.906 --> 00:07:51.430
Well, I thought there was only eight people.

00:07:51.430 --> 00:07:59.096
Yeah, well, there were more than eight people in the loins of all of those eight people.

00:07:59.096 --> 00:08:04.478
Out of those eight people, the earth was repopulated.

00:08:04.478 --> 00:08:05.382
Are you with me?

00:08:05.382 --> 00:08:12.855
Okay, all of those people came off the ark and and they were all of Noah until Abraham.

00:08:13.718 --> 00:08:32.974
And because Abraham, in the midst of all that degradation, believed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness, there was this fork in the road where everybody, where most people, continued on in the line of Noah, but there was a branch that came off.

00:08:32.974 --> 00:08:37.889
Everybody say a branch, everybody know what the branch is.

00:08:37.889 --> 00:08:39.465
The branch came out of Jesse.

00:08:39.465 --> 00:09:07.333
Okay, there was a branch that came out of Abraham, not only in the flesh but by faith, so that those that belonged to Abraham by the flesh were one branch of people and with them comes all of those that came by Abraham by faith, which includes you, all of those that came by Abraham by faith, which includes you.

00:09:07.333 --> 00:09:12.678
So you no longer are under the covenant of Noah, you are under the covenant of Abraham.

00:09:12.678 --> 00:09:16.909
Hello, we got three covenants in operation.

00:09:16.909 --> 00:09:24.581
We got the covenant of Noah, we've got the covenant of Abraham, we got the covenant of Moses.

00:09:24.581 --> 00:09:26.024
You're going to be under one of those three covenants.

00:09:28.371 --> 00:09:33.109
Hello, I thought I was under the covenant of Jesus.

00:09:33.109 --> 00:09:44.956
Jesus is the head of the covenant of Abraham, because the promise to Abraham was made that all nations would be blessed through you, and Jesus was that blessing.

00:09:44.956 --> 00:09:46.620
Nations would be blessed through you, and Jesus was that blessing.

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:47.984
The Holy Ghost was that blessing.

00:09:47.984 --> 00:09:51.613
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:09:51.613 --> 00:10:06.386
I have just given you in 10 minutes, folks, and I've taught you this many times I have given you in 10 minutes what took me a decade to get from God.

00:10:06.386 --> 00:10:25.235
I had to put on many different hats and many different ways of thinking to come into this place where I understood that Jesus did not come to do his own covenant.

00:10:25.235 --> 00:10:33.928
God said do you realize that a great part of the way that your Bible is presented is wrong?

00:10:33.928 --> 00:10:44.107
Hallelujah, because it says the covenant of Jesus Christ right there on your title page in the New Testament.

00:10:44.107 --> 00:10:46.094
But it's not that it's the covenant of Jesus Christ Right there on your title page in the New Testament.

00:10:46.094 --> 00:10:47.645
But it's not that it's the covenant of Abraham.

00:10:47.645 --> 00:10:50.787
It says that in the book of Galatians.

00:10:50.787 --> 00:10:54.110
Oh, I wish I could preach Hallelujah.

00:10:55.041 --> 00:10:56.548
What did he promise to David?

00:10:56.548 --> 00:11:10.581
First of all, he promised to David that there would always be someone from David's bloodline who would sit on the throne of Israel.

00:11:10.581 --> 00:11:13.485
That was the promise.

00:11:13.485 --> 00:11:21.895
It also says that David will be a king over Israel forever.

00:11:21.895 --> 00:11:29.522
King over Israel forever.

00:11:29.522 --> 00:11:31.005
There is a promise of eternal kingship given to David.

00:11:31.005 --> 00:11:31.105
Amen.

00:11:31.105 --> 00:11:32.389
Listen to me very carefully.

00:11:32.389 --> 00:11:39.663
You can you, when somebody talks about David, they're gonna, they're gonna say well, what about Saul?

00:11:39.663 --> 00:11:42.806
Saul was a?

00:11:42.806 --> 00:11:45.548
How can I say this?

00:11:45.548 --> 00:11:48.812
What if?

00:11:48.812 --> 00:11:50.594
What if, what?

00:11:50.594 --> 00:12:02.539
Yeah, what if I told you that this man over here was the prophetic and anointed king of Israel?

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:08.491
King of Israel, but he's just a little kid.

00:12:08.491 --> 00:12:21.006
Over here is this six foot four strapping young man out of Benjamin, and so we want him to be king.

00:12:21.006 --> 00:12:30.705
Okay, let me ask you this question, question when do we get to vote in the kingdom of God, israel did?

00:12:30.705 --> 00:12:32.808
They voted.

00:12:32.808 --> 00:12:35.793
They voted for Saul to be king.

00:12:37.034 --> 00:12:38.845
Samuel told me you don't really want this.

00:12:38.845 --> 00:12:46.147
This is not going to end well, because he knew that this was not God's chosen.

00:12:46.147 --> 00:13:00.514
But you read the book of first, first and second Samuel, you'll find out that God treated, and David treated, saul as the anointed of God, when in fact he was an imposter.

00:13:00.514 --> 00:13:03.705
He at best he was a placeholder.

00:13:03.705 --> 00:13:17.508
At best best he was kind of okay, god goes, okay, I'm going to let you have Saul and you're going to find out what you get when you choose as opposed to what you get when I choose.

00:13:18.951 --> 00:13:36.206
And everybody needs to understand that that if you wait for God to choose for you, you will always get God's best, but if you insist on shoving it up to God for a blessing, you're going to have to live with it.

00:13:36.206 --> 00:13:47.205
I bet how many young women have we taught that to Hundreds, hundreds.

00:13:47.205 --> 00:13:48.850
And you know what they do.

00:13:48.850 --> 00:13:54.392
They run right out and do the opposite.

00:13:54.392 --> 00:13:55.585
They do what they want to do.

00:13:55.585 --> 00:14:01.110
I could tell you story after story after story.

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:04.340
I had this one woman in Martin's church.

00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:05.591
She wanted me to pray for her every time I went moran's church.

00:14:05.591 --> 00:14:05.827
She wanted me to pray for her.

00:14:05.827 --> 00:14:08.991
Every time I went to church she wanted me to pray for her, get a husband.

00:14:08.991 --> 00:14:10.934
I finally said you know what?

00:14:10.934 --> 00:14:21.039
I'm not going to pray for you to get a husband, I'm going to pray for you to get, to get so close to the lord that you'll hear him tell you which one you're going to have next time I go down there.

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:21.922
You know what she done?

00:14:21.922 --> 00:14:24.326
She married some fool of a guy.

00:14:24.326 --> 00:14:26.270
You know I'm going.

00:14:26.270 --> 00:14:27.533
What did you do that for?

00:14:27.533 --> 00:14:35.106
Oh, this lonely, this is not going to end well.

00:14:35.106 --> 00:14:38.765
Oh well, praise God.

00:14:38.765 --> 00:14:40.384
You know how this works.

00:14:42.926 --> 00:14:45.134
And Israel would not wait for David.

00:14:45.134 --> 00:14:49.567
But they had to have a king, like the other nations, and so they picked Saul.

00:14:49.567 --> 00:14:51.812
And Saul was a disaster.

00:14:51.812 --> 00:14:55.831
Saul ended up hunting down the anointed of God.

00:14:55.831 --> 00:15:04.268
Saul ended up ended up in such a level of rebellion that both he and Jonathan were killed on the battlefield.

00:15:04.268 --> 00:15:13.330
And yet David had such honor before the Lord that he would not touch the anointed of God.

00:15:13.330 --> 00:15:17.743
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:15:17.743 --> 00:15:23.828
So to David was promised an eternal kingship.

00:15:23.828 --> 00:15:31.134
Such a promise was not given to Saul, nor was it given to any other king after David.

00:15:31.134 --> 00:15:32.437
Amen.

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:38.167
The promise was made to David and the promise was listen.

00:15:38.167 --> 00:15:56.513
The promise was if your sons obey me, they will sit on the throne, but I will not change the word that I have uttered to my servant, david there will be a king out of your loins upon the throne of Israel forever.

00:15:56.513 --> 00:15:58.662
And God was talking about Jesus.

00:15:58.662 --> 00:15:59.943
Amen.

00:15:59.943 --> 00:16:02.827
When Jesus came and he fessed up.

00:16:02.827 --> 00:16:04.850
When Pilate said are you a king?

00:16:04.850 --> 00:16:09.725
He said for this reason have I come and for this reason I am here.

00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:20.306
Amen, I am a king, I am the rightful king of Israel and I will be the king of Israel forever.

00:16:20.306 --> 00:16:23.611
Praise God.

00:16:23.611 --> 00:16:24.394
Why?

00:16:24.394 --> 00:16:28.731
Because God promised to David that that was going to be the case.

00:16:33.023 --> 00:16:50.188
Now, when Jesus comes back and puts David in as the perpetual king of Israel, it's just a fulfillment of Psalm 110, saying the Lord said to my Lord, sit here at my right hand until I have made your enemies your footstool.

00:16:50.188 --> 00:16:52.543
It's just a prophecy of that.

00:16:52.543 --> 00:16:55.851
The Lord said to my Lord.

00:16:55.851 --> 00:17:03.349
And David would understand that even though he sits on the throne of Israel, his Lord is still over him.

00:17:03.349 --> 00:17:06.453
Glory to God.

00:17:06.453 --> 00:17:16.189
He was promised because of that, because there would be a king on his throne forever.

00:17:16.189 --> 00:17:25.967
He was promised the same thing that Abraham was promised Endless generations would come out of him.

00:17:25.967 --> 00:17:44.253
What David didn't know when that promise was made was that these endless generations were going to be generations that were created not according to the flesh but according to faith, amen.

00:17:45.182 --> 00:18:00.633
Let me give you an example and we're going to talk about this example much more probably the next time or the time after and that is that Jesus' young next brother, james.

00:18:00.633 --> 00:18:07.306
Amen lived longer on the planet than Jesus did, amen.

00:18:07.306 --> 00:18:09.453
Jesus lived 33 and a half years.

00:18:09.453 --> 00:18:13.155
James lived for quite a while after Amen.

00:18:13.155 --> 00:18:23.711
Now he was rightfully the king of Israel when Jesus left, but he never got to occupy that place, just like Jesus never got to occupy, but that didn't change anything.

00:18:23.711 --> 00:18:29.452
He was still the rightful king, but he couldn't occupy that position.

00:18:29.452 --> 00:18:32.614
So God had a different position for him.

00:18:32.614 --> 00:18:41.636
He became the apostle of the church, not just a local church, but the church, amen.

00:18:41.636 --> 00:18:50.573
Can you imagine the spiritual legacy that James left behind?

00:18:50.573 --> 00:19:03.778
Well, I'm going to give you one example, amen, and you're going to understand what I'm talking about in about 60 seconds.

00:19:04.605 --> 00:19:30.515
Acts 15 says that Paul took some men out of Asia Minor and came down to Jerusalem to settle an issue, because there had been some Jews that had gone up to where Paul was ministering and said these Gentiles have to believe the law, they have to come under the law, they have to be circumcised, they have to observe the feast, they have to come under the law or they can't be saved.

00:19:30.515 --> 00:19:41.384
Paul said that is not the gospel I received from Jesus for these people.

00:19:41.384 --> 00:19:54.409
He said we're going to go to Jerusalem and we're going to put this matter, not before Peter, not before John, not before Andrew before James, not before Andrew before James.

00:19:54.409 --> 00:20:00.316
They went to James, they did the whole thing.

00:20:00.316 --> 00:20:05.661
Peter testified, paul testified, others testified Amen.

00:20:10.226 --> 00:20:12.289
And James said some of the most important words that have ever been said.

00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:26.031
He said it seemed good to us and to the Holy Ghost Not to trouble the new believers that are coming in, the Gentile believers that are coming in by faith, except in four things.

00:20:26.031 --> 00:20:29.048
Listen to them all.

00:20:29.048 --> 00:20:30.094
Listed them all.

00:20:30.094 --> 00:20:36.536
You ought to thank God every day for the ministry of the Apostle James.

00:20:40.730 --> 00:20:41.492
Read his book.

00:20:41.492 --> 00:20:45.556
I mean he was hardline Jewish believer.

00:20:45.556 --> 00:20:49.904
I mean he went to the temple.

00:20:49.904 --> 00:21:12.511
The Bible says his knees were flattened and they called him camel knees because he spent so much time in prayer and his knees were bent on the stones of the temple mount, he still observed the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock hours of prayer.

00:21:12.511 --> 00:21:14.165
Are you?

00:21:14.165 --> 00:21:15.891
I mean, what the man was?

00:21:15.891 --> 00:21:16.673
Not you know?

00:21:16.673 --> 00:21:18.497
If you read his book, you'll understand.

00:21:18.497 --> 00:21:31.834
He was a Jewish believer and yet he understood the message that God was taking to the Gentiles by Paul, by revelation and because of the way he judged.

00:21:33.758 --> 00:21:36.874
Amen, we are not under the law.

00:21:36.874 --> 00:21:46.957
This thing would never have gotten out of the first century or two if we'd have come back under the strict law of Moses.

00:21:46.957 --> 00:21:53.865
It almost didn't make it when they did a perversion of the law and called it something else.

00:21:53.865 --> 00:21:57.230
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:21:57.230 --> 00:22:06.711
But I thank God for the apostle James, who was bold enough in his own town in Jerusalem to say they don't have to obey the law.

00:22:06.711 --> 00:22:09.935
Glory to God.

00:22:09.935 --> 00:22:11.618
Hallelujah.

00:22:13.441 --> 00:22:14.763
I'm talking about David.

00:22:14.763 --> 00:22:16.425
I'm talking about endless generations.

00:22:16.425 --> 00:22:32.115
You know how many, countless hundreds of millions of non-Jewish believers have come into the liberty of the gospel because of the kingship of the apostle James.

00:22:32.115 --> 00:22:35.099
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:52.638
Untold hundreds of millions of Christians have come into this glorious gospel and the freedom that comes by Christ, apart from the law, because of the kingship of Apostle James.

00:22:52.638 --> 00:22:58.327
Hallelujah.

00:22:58.327 --> 00:23:20.114
When God said endless generations to David, he was looking a thousand years down the road to James and 2,000 years of the offspring in the spirit of James' decision, continuing that liberty that's in Christ.

00:23:20.114 --> 00:23:42.895
When I say to you that what the law could not do in that was made weak through the flesh, god did by sending his son in the likeness of sinful flesh, thereby condemning sin in the flesh, so that those that walk not after the flesh but after the spirit, might fulfill the righteous requirements of the law.

00:23:42.895 --> 00:23:48.657
That was Paul saying what James had said in Jerusalem.

00:23:48.657 --> 00:23:51.507
Well, where'd it go?

00:23:51.507 --> 00:23:55.935
Hallelujah to Jesus.

00:24:00.344 --> 00:24:04.349
Now, if you've got endless generations, amen.

00:24:04.349 --> 00:24:22.673
You have to have eternal life, because life is going to spring forth out of these generations, from one generation to the next, so that they are all one generation.

00:24:22.673 --> 00:24:25.179
Amen, hallelujah.

00:24:25.179 --> 00:24:28.192
Are we not all one?

00:24:28.192 --> 00:24:42.713
The Bible says it doesn't matter whether we have preceded others in death, whether we are already in glory or we are still here on earth going through what we have to go through.

00:24:42.713 --> 00:24:43.817
Amen.

00:24:43.817 --> 00:24:47.273
We are all one in Christ.

00:24:47.273 --> 00:24:49.210
Amen, there is one body.

00:24:49.210 --> 00:24:54.068
There's not a body of resurrected Saints and a body of still here on the earth Saints.

00:24:54.068 --> 00:24:55.009
Amen.

00:24:55.009 --> 00:24:58.056
We are all one in Christ.

00:24:58.056 --> 00:25:00.626
Does it not say that?

00:25:00.626 --> 00:25:16.326
Amen, and if we're all one in Christ, amen then the eternal life that others are already fully in is still available to us who walk in this realm Amen.

00:25:16.326 --> 00:25:22.179
We're just not totally in it yet, but you can have as much of it as you want.

00:25:22.179 --> 00:25:34.548
You can walk in as much of this eternity as you want to walk in, or you can, by the other hand, you can choose to walk in as much death as you want to.

00:25:34.548 --> 00:25:36.252
That's up to you.

00:25:36.252 --> 00:25:41.048
You can choose to walk in the flesh, or you can choose to walk in the spirit.

00:25:41.048 --> 00:25:44.845
You can choose to walk in death, or you can choose to walk in eternity.

00:25:44.845 --> 00:25:47.107
Those choices are up to you.

00:25:48.148 --> 00:25:54.616
However, when God promised, praise God.

00:25:54.616 --> 00:25:58.381
I see the Lord continually.

00:25:58.381 --> 00:26:04.029
His face is always before me.

00:26:04.029 --> 00:26:08.896
Amen, praise God.

00:26:08.896 --> 00:26:11.328
I'm going to read this to you because it's so rich.

00:26:11.328 --> 00:26:13.125
This is what I'm going to read this to you because it's so rich.

00:26:13.125 --> 00:26:14.611
This is what I'm talking about.

00:26:14.611 --> 00:26:26.971
Therefore, my heart is glad.

00:26:26.971 --> 00:26:28.049
Oh, wait, here it is.

00:26:28.049 --> 00:26:34.645
I have set the Lord always before me because he is at my right hand.

00:26:34.645 --> 00:26:35.969
I shall not be moved.

00:26:35.969 --> 00:26:40.836
Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoices.

00:26:40.836 --> 00:26:52.486
My flesh will also rest in hope, for you will not leave my soul in Sheol or hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

00:26:52.486 --> 00:26:55.833
You will show me the path of light.

00:26:55.833 --> 00:27:02.893
In your presence is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

00:27:03.954 --> 00:27:14.919
God had promised to David eternal life, and not only that, but eternal life to all nations would come through him.

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:16.787
Praise God.

00:27:16.787 --> 00:27:18.770
Why is that?

00:27:18.770 --> 00:27:22.798
Because the promise of the Messiah was given to him.

00:27:22.798 --> 00:27:34.259
Because the Messiah was given to him, this promise of eternal life was as sure to David as it was to Jesus.

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:35.405
Amen.

00:27:35.405 --> 00:27:41.049
When Jesus came here, he said the father gave me one commandment that I lay down my life and pick it back up again.

00:27:41.049 --> 00:27:41.932
What's that sound like?

00:27:41.932 --> 00:27:47.069
Sounds like eternal life, sounds like eternity, sounds like an endless life.

00:27:47.069 --> 00:27:48.653
Amen.

00:27:48.653 --> 00:27:50.817
David had the same promise.

00:27:50.817 --> 00:27:59.914
Promise even though he was dead and buried and his tomb, peter said, was with them.

00:27:59.914 --> 00:28:03.622
Until that day, amen.

00:28:03.622 --> 00:28:09.093
He was still alive and he was still capable.

00:28:09.093 --> 00:28:22.464
Through Jesus, through James and through other Jesus' brothers, continued on to multiply this eternal life into the next generation.

00:28:23.867 --> 00:28:33.939
The Bible says that David served his generation and died, but Jesus talked of David like he was right there with him in a lie.

00:28:33.939 --> 00:28:42.030
Oh, glory to God if you don't think David was one of the first ones who came up out of the tomb when Jesus was resurrected.

00:28:42.030 --> 00:28:45.789
You got another thing coming glory to God.

00:28:45.789 --> 00:28:47.916
You don't think Isaac came up.

00:28:47.916 --> 00:28:51.048
Isaac came up right on the spot where I were.

00:28:51.048 --> 00:28:53.154
Abraham tried to sacrifice him.

00:28:53.154 --> 00:28:54.647
Glory to God.

00:28:54.647 --> 00:28:55.932
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:28:55.932 --> 00:29:03.712
I'm thinking that the only one to beat him up out of the grave was John the Baptist, because Jesus said he was the greatest of them all.

00:29:04.355 --> 00:29:06.851
Oh hallelujah, are you hearing any of this?

00:29:06.851 --> 00:29:14.372
All of these things are more real than the food you ate for breakfast this morning.

00:29:14.372 --> 00:29:16.857
It's more real than the air you breathe.

00:29:16.857 --> 00:29:19.009
This stuff is real, folks.

00:29:19.009 --> 00:29:29.073
It's real because Jesus made it real by the words that he said when he wanted to stump you know, stump the pastor questions.

00:29:29.073 --> 00:29:30.898
When he wanted to stump you know, stump the pastor questions.

00:29:30.898 --> 00:29:40.417
When he wanted to stump the Pharisees, he just asked him one question whose son is the Messiah?

00:29:40.417 --> 00:29:49.885
Now, see, you haven't been through all these questions or all these messages you'd have.

00:29:49.885 --> 00:29:56.766
You'd have got the answer correct he's the son of Abraham and the son of David, but Matthew hadn't been written yet.

00:30:04.922 --> 00:30:05.743
So they said David.

00:30:05.743 --> 00:30:09.906
They failed the answer, right there.

00:30:09.906 --> 00:30:10.790
They failed the answer.

00:30:10.790 --> 00:30:13.272
But they couldn't answer the next question.

00:30:13.272 --> 00:30:24.752
If David in the Spirit calls him Lord, saying the Lord said to my Lord, sit here at my right hand while I make your enemies your footstool.

00:30:24.752 --> 00:30:26.237
Amen.

00:30:26.237 --> 00:30:28.594
If David calls him Lord, how then can he be his son?

00:30:28.594 --> 00:30:30.356
They couldn't answer that question either.

00:30:30.356 --> 00:30:31.525
They didn't even that question either.

00:30:31.525 --> 00:30:44.332
They didn't even try Hallelujah, but he has promised eternity to all nations.

00:30:44.332 --> 00:30:48.633
I see the Lord always before my face.

00:30:48.633 --> 00:30:54.132
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:30:57.298 --> 00:31:17.664
Now, not only does he have eternity for all, but because of the verse 4 in that same scripture, in Psalm 110, he got a promise from God that there would be an endless and perfect and eternal priesthood.

00:31:17.664 --> 00:31:28.861
I have sworn that you will be a high priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:31:28.861 --> 00:31:31.263
According to the order of Melchizedek.

00:31:31.263 --> 00:31:34.471
Now this scripture is two verses away from that first scripture.

00:31:34.471 --> 00:31:41.030
That says the Lord said to my Lord, sit here at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:31:41.030 --> 00:31:49.932
And then he said I have sworn that you shall be a high priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:31:49.932 --> 00:31:53.776
He was talking about Jesus, but he was talking to David.

00:31:53.776 --> 00:32:03.753
Now I want you to see something, because this is also something that the Lord said of David.

00:32:07.606 --> 00:32:28.617
David was not a priest, but he sat in the office of a prophet, and I'm going to tell you something about David he carried in his loins the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:32:28.617 --> 00:32:34.512
I better come out and start all over.

00:32:34.512 --> 00:32:44.530
David was not of Levi, and all of the priests around him maybe Athar, zadok and others were all of Levi.

00:32:44.530 --> 00:32:46.028
They were all of Aaron.

00:32:46.028 --> 00:32:47.775
Amen.

00:32:47.775 --> 00:32:51.172
And all of the priests that continued on until the days of John the Baptist were all of Levi.

00:32:51.172 --> 00:32:55.127
And all of the priests that continued on until the days of john the baptist, or all of levi and all of aaron.

00:32:55.127 --> 00:32:56.290
Are you hearing me?

00:32:56.290 --> 00:33:00.018
But there was a another priest coming.

00:33:00.018 --> 00:33:18.395
There was another order coming, not for the household of moses, but for the household of jesus, not for the household of the law but for the household of grace, not based on a priesthood who was passed on by death, but based on the priesthood of an endless life.

00:33:18.395 --> 00:33:19.417
Amen.

00:33:19.778 --> 00:33:26.861
That priesthood not only was promised through David, but it was promised to David.

00:33:26.861 --> 00:33:29.327
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:33:29.327 --> 00:33:30.010
It was not promised through David.

00:33:30.010 --> 00:33:30.733
In other words, god gave it to David.

00:33:30.733 --> 00:33:31.537
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:33:31.537 --> 00:33:32.781
It was not promised through David.

00:33:32.781 --> 00:33:35.307
In other words, god gave it to David.

00:33:35.307 --> 00:33:40.325
David wrote it down and the promises for somebody in the future Amen.

00:33:40.625 --> 00:33:54.582
David was a witness to this promise and God was speaking to him and to the seed and to the linkage of the seed by the flesh, amen.

00:33:54.582 --> 00:34:04.951
When it came down to Mary, the son of Heli, jesus the son of Mary, are you getting any of this?

00:34:04.951 --> 00:34:12.932
So the promise to David was not that you.

00:34:12.932 --> 00:34:14.297
Okay, david, write this down.

00:34:14.297 --> 00:34:16.992
There's going to be a change in the priesthood when the Messiah comes.

00:34:16.992 --> 00:34:18.498
He's going to be the high priest.

00:34:18.498 --> 00:34:20.465
Hallelujah, glory to God.

00:34:20.465 --> 00:34:24.291
Give it a little Pentecostal shake and hallelujah and say you got it.

00:34:24.291 --> 00:34:25.112
David, now write it.

00:34:25.112 --> 00:34:28.838
That wasn't how it was.

00:34:28.838 --> 00:34:40.815
The promise was made to David and to the seed Jesus at the same time and in the same way.

00:34:40.815 --> 00:34:47.795
In other words, the seed, the priest, was already in David.

00:34:50.771 --> 00:34:55.992
The only thing that separated David and that priesthood manifesting was a thousand years.

00:34:55.992 --> 00:35:11.086
But the fact of the matter is, melchizedek had anointed him Glory to God In the person of David or in person of Samuel, amen.

00:35:11.086 --> 00:35:24.577
And that anointing came upon him and the transference of the priesthood that God had always planned Moses' priesthood, aaron's priesthood was a subset.

00:35:24.577 --> 00:35:25.018
It was a.

00:35:25.018 --> 00:35:40.001
You know, maybe it was something to get you through the Sinai, something to get you through the occupation of Canaan, something to get you through the Sinai, something to get you through the occupation of Canaan, something to get you through the next thousand years and in of your history, amen.

00:35:40.001 --> 00:35:41.766
But it was not the perfect, endless, eternal priesthood.

00:35:41.766 --> 00:35:49.489
I had to speak that to David because it was through David and in David that it was going to manifest.

00:35:49.489 --> 00:35:51.315
Oh, oh, glory to God.

00:35:51.315 --> 00:35:55.293
So when I watch this, watch this, you don't think I'm.

00:35:55.293 --> 00:35:55.875
You think I'm.

00:35:55.875 --> 00:35:56.878
I'm making this up.

00:35:57.500 --> 00:36:01.989
Jesus said exactly the same thing I'm saying, only in a different way.

00:36:01.989 --> 00:36:04.394
He didn't take as long.

00:36:04.394 --> 00:36:05.436
He never does.

00:36:05.436 --> 00:36:08.146
Amen, hallelujah.

00:36:08.146 --> 00:36:17.489
He said this when his disciples were walking through a field and they picked grain off and rubbed it in their hands and ate the raw grain.

00:36:17.489 --> 00:36:24.976
They said how come your disciples are defiling the Sabbath?

00:36:24.976 --> 00:36:29.952
He said well, what are you going to do about David?

00:36:35.246 --> 00:36:49.976
David and his mighty men went into the temple and they ate of the showbread off the table in the temple because they were hungry and they were found guiltless.

00:36:49.976 --> 00:36:55.414
They weren't struck down by God the way that Aaron's sons were struck down.

00:36:55.414 --> 00:36:58.831
They walked right into the temple.

00:36:58.831 --> 00:37:11.393
They walked right through the gate, right through the door, into the holy place, took the bread off the showbread, didn't genuflect, didn't cross themselves, just passed the bread out and walked out the door.

00:37:11.393 --> 00:37:15.150
Are you hearing me?

00:37:15.150 --> 00:37:22.454
They should have fried, they should have been burned by the fire that came off of the altar right there.

00:37:22.815 --> 00:37:23.376
And they were not.

00:37:23.376 --> 00:37:25.099
Why?

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:27.730
Because David was of another priesthood.

00:37:27.730 --> 00:37:37.347
He had the right, as the one who was bearing the priesthood of Melchizedek in his loins Amen.

00:37:37.347 --> 00:37:50.190
He had the right to go in because he was of a higher priesthood, jesus, and Jesus certified it.

00:37:50.190 --> 00:37:55.251
He said you don't even understand what your own priest can do.

00:37:55.251 --> 00:37:59.507
Your own priest can go in and eat of the bread and not be defiled.

00:37:59.507 --> 00:38:09.675
He said you don't even know what your own priest can do and you're trying to criticize these guys for eating a handful of grain.

00:38:09.675 --> 00:38:11.809
What are you going to do about David?

00:38:11.809 --> 00:38:17.315
God didn't judge David, but you would have.

00:38:20.766 --> 00:38:29.034
And the reason he didn't judge him was because the priesthood of eternal life was in him, hallelujah.

00:38:29.034 --> 00:38:41.831
And when God spoke that to David amen he put it there in black and white for us all to see and nobody saw it.

00:38:41.831 --> 00:39:12.496
He had to take Paul out of that system, blind him for three days, three nights, until Ananias came and laid hands on him and then he took Paul you know the story dropped him down the wall of Damascus and took him out into the wilderness and ministered to him for years so that he could explain this to us.

00:39:12.496 --> 00:39:16.827
Because God hid it.

00:39:16.827 --> 00:39:19.012
Everybody say God hid it.

00:39:19.012 --> 00:39:31.559
God hid it in a handful of verses and out of those handful of verses we get the entirety of the revelation of the new priesthood that was given to Paul.

00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.070
Are you hearing it?

00:39:34.070 --> 00:39:35.929
And when he's listen.

00:39:35.929 --> 00:39:43.541
And that entire revelation was given to David when he got Psalm 110.

00:39:43.541 --> 00:39:47.530
But he was only allowed to write down part of it.

00:39:47.530 --> 00:39:56.626
Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise God.

00:40:02.458 --> 00:40:10.224
Next, the next thing that David was promised was that he was promised Jerusalem, amen.

00:40:10.224 --> 00:40:15.518
And Jerusalem became known as the stronghold of David.

00:40:15.518 --> 00:40:23.918
Then it became known as the city of David, amen, amen.

00:40:23.918 --> 00:40:28.552
Hello, I've got news for you.

00:40:28.552 --> 00:40:30.166
You want some news?

00:40:30.166 --> 00:40:52.168
David was the first God-ordained king over Jerusalem since Melchizedek.

00:40:52.168 --> 00:41:04.222
So you've got this kind of line You've got Abraham and Melchizedek, and Abraham was a king and Melchizedek was king and priest over Jerusalem.

00:41:04.222 --> 00:41:14.076
The next time we have a king-priest over Jerusalem is David.

00:41:14.076 --> 00:41:15.277
He is the direct connection.

00:41:15.277 --> 00:41:17.742
Everybody say direct connection.

00:41:17.742 --> 00:41:24.849
He is the direct connection between Melchizedek and Jerusalem and David in Jerusalem.

00:41:24.849 --> 00:41:30.954
David is the thing that connects Jerusalem back to Melchizedek and vice versa.

00:41:30.954 --> 00:41:32.635
Amen.

00:41:32.755 --> 00:41:35.639
When Jerusalem was promised, how do I know?

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:37.601
Jerusalem was promised to David.

00:41:37.601 --> 00:41:38.461
You know the story.

00:41:38.461 --> 00:41:41.065
He took Goliath's head.

00:41:41.065 --> 00:41:58.612
He took the head of a satanically designed perversion, an abomination, and he took the head of that giant and took it to the gates of Jerusalem and just stood there.

00:41:58.612 --> 00:42:01.610
I'm coming for you.

00:42:01.610 --> 00:42:09.242
If I were you, I'd get out of town, amen.

00:42:09.242 --> 00:42:10.931
And he did.

00:42:10.931 --> 00:42:21.909
Many years later, he marshaled his forces and he went in and he possessed god's possession and god gave him the city.

00:42:21.909 --> 00:42:34.452
He had to repossess the stronghold of melchizedek so that he could be the rightful king of Jerusalem.

00:42:34.974 --> 00:42:37.672
You know I'm going to say this.

00:42:37.672 --> 00:42:43.233
People would disagree with me all day long, but just get the gist of it.

00:42:43.233 --> 00:42:53.134
The reason that God loves the environment of Israel is because Jerusalem is there.

00:42:53.134 --> 00:43:03.657
He had to have a land that was big enough to settle five to six million people, amen.

00:43:03.657 --> 00:43:06.452
But what he really cared about was Jerusalem.

00:43:06.452 --> 00:43:08.135
Why?

00:43:08.135 --> 00:43:11.512
Because that was the place that he had placed his name.

00:43:11.512 --> 00:43:14.945
Now I, you don't know what that means to god.

00:43:14.945 --> 00:43:16.769
I don't know what that means to god.

00:43:16.769 --> 00:43:19.958
What does it mean to god to place his name in a place?

00:43:19.958 --> 00:43:25.641
I don't know, but I do know this you don't want to mess with that place.

00:43:25.641 --> 00:43:45.007
If god's placed his name there, and because he had placed his name there, because he had placed his name there, because he had placed his name in Jerusalem, jerusalem is unlike any other spot on the planet and all of his focus is on that one spot, because that's where he's placed his name.

00:43:45.007 --> 00:43:46.393
That's what the Bible says.

00:43:46.393 --> 00:43:47.530
I'm not making this up.

00:43:47.530 --> 00:43:54.175
Israel is important to him, but it's important because that's where Jerusalem is.

00:43:55.204 --> 00:44:13.626
And Jerusalem had to be taken out of the hands of the Jebusites and put in the hands of David so that, from him forward, that place would be in the hands of the people through whom the Messiah would come.

00:44:13.626 --> 00:44:20.382
Because Jesus said a prophet cannot perish outside of Jerusalem.

00:44:20.382 --> 00:44:22.628
He knew where he had to be.

00:44:22.628 --> 00:44:24.637
He kept going back there.

00:44:24.637 --> 00:44:27.027
Don't go back there, master, they're gonna kill you.

00:44:27.027 --> 00:44:29.641
Yeah, he kept going, he kept going, he kept going.

00:44:29.963 --> 00:44:32.449
He was in hiding down by the River Jordan.

00:44:32.449 --> 00:44:36.396
They sent word Lazarus is sick, he's about to die.

00:44:36.396 --> 00:44:37.338
You better get up there.

00:44:37.338 --> 00:44:38.449
He waited a few days.

00:44:38.449 --> 00:44:42.775
He finally went up there, they said, lord, they're going to kill you if you go back up there.

00:44:42.775 --> 00:44:54.025
He went up there anyway and did something so outrageous, amen, that it couldn't be quiet.

00:44:54.025 --> 00:45:00.005
He raised Lazarus from the dead and by the time he went into Jerusalem the next week, there were thousands and thousands of people lining the streets.

00:45:00.005 --> 00:45:03.650
Glory to God.

00:45:03.650 --> 00:45:07.878
Are you hearing what the Lord is saying today?

00:45:07.878 --> 00:45:09.219
Praise God.

00:45:10.001 --> 00:45:19.688
He had to possess Jerusalem because Jerusalem was promised to him and to his seed, melchizedek.

00:45:19.688 --> 00:45:28.012
Amen was the king of righteousness, the king of peace and the king of Jerusalem.

00:45:28.012 --> 00:45:31.530
And who was this king?

00:45:31.530 --> 00:45:32.237
He was the king of Jerusalem.

00:45:32.237 --> 00:45:32.903
And who was this king?

00:45:32.903 --> 00:45:42.195
He was the son of David and, because of what we're learning here today, there is a direct link between David and Melchizedek.

00:45:42.195 --> 00:45:58.219
So not only was Jesus the son of David, the king of Israel, he was the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, who was the king and priest of Jerusalem.

00:45:58.219 --> 00:46:00.786
So what does that make Jesus?

00:46:00.786 --> 00:46:11.338
It makes him king of Israel, king of Jerusalem and the high priest of the order of Melchizedek all rolled, rolled into one Amen.

00:46:11.338 --> 00:46:31.831
And it all goes back to Abraham, who paid a tithe to Melchizedek on the road and received the bread and the wine from the one who was sent by God to preach Abraham the gospel, and the same anointing that was on Abraham was then given to David.

00:46:33.326 --> 00:46:38.639
Why, why can I say that I'm going to get to this and we're going to cover this point until you're going to be tired of hearing it?

00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:39.164
Amen.

00:46:39.164 --> 00:46:52.454
Because Samuel was not taken out of the order of Aaron and because Samuel was not of Aaron, he can only be anointed by another priesthood.

00:46:52.454 --> 00:47:01.248
You know what the Lord showed me the other day?

00:47:01.248 --> 00:47:02.112
This is a freebie.

00:47:02.112 --> 00:47:06.634
If you're taking notes, you can put a big X by it and say this one didn't cost me anything.

00:47:06.634 --> 00:47:08.791
I didn't even have to look it up.

00:47:10.646 --> 00:47:14.757
So Moses goes into wilderness, right?

00:47:14.757 --> 00:47:18.349
I'm just going to show you how all of this is connected.

00:47:18.349 --> 00:47:25.574
Moses goes into wilderness and ends up marrying the daughter of the high priest of Midian, right?

00:47:25.574 --> 00:47:27.840
Okay, yay, hallelujah, his name's Jethro, that's cool.

00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:32.652
Okay, yay, hallelujah, his name's Jethro, that's cool.

00:47:32.652 --> 00:47:41.525
Moses studies under Jethro for 40 years.

00:47:41.525 --> 00:47:48.422
What do you think Jethro taught him?

00:47:48.422 --> 00:47:51.911
Well, I'm going to tell you how this works.

00:47:51.931 --> 00:47:55.599
He belongs to a people named the Midianites, or of Midian.

00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:06.704
Midian is one of the sons of Abraham, of his wife that he had after Sarah.

00:48:06.704 --> 00:48:09.505
What priesthood do you think Abraham taught Midian?

00:48:09.505 --> 00:48:12.367
Priesthood of Moses, priesthood of Aaron?

00:48:12.367 --> 00:48:13.452
They didn't exist yet.

00:48:13.452 --> 00:48:16.010
There was only one priesthood in town.

00:48:16.010 --> 00:48:18.858
He taught him the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:48:18.858 --> 00:48:23.393
Of what order was Midian?

00:48:23.393 --> 00:48:26.534
Midian was of the order of Melchizedek.

00:48:26.534 --> 00:48:29.753
What priesthood did Moses learn?

00:48:29.753 --> 00:48:36.965
The order of Melchizedek.

00:48:36.985 --> 00:48:39.851
I'm gonna, I'm gonna submit this to you that Moses was not of the law.

00:48:39.851 --> 00:48:42.576
Moses was the lawgiver.

00:48:42.576 --> 00:48:51.934
Aaron was under the law because he was not trained in the priesthood of Melchizedek and he had to learn a different order.

00:48:51.934 --> 00:48:56.458
Amen, moses was not under that law.

00:48:56.458 --> 00:48:57.500
How do I know that?

00:48:57.500 --> 00:49:01.532
Because he got to do whatever, whatever God wanted him to do.

00:49:01.532 --> 00:49:14.186
If God wanted to come into the ark, come in before the ark and prepare and be before him, he was not subject to the law because he was under a different law that was higher than that law.

00:49:14.186 --> 00:49:17.672
So, just like David, he could go into the holy place.

00:49:17.672 --> 00:49:21.106
He could go into the most holy place if he wanted to.

00:49:21.106 --> 00:49:29.918
He could do whatever God told him to do because he was not under the law that Aaron was under.

00:49:29.918 --> 00:49:38.574
Aaron was the high priest of the law, but Moses was the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:49:45.753 --> 00:49:53.072
Now I wouldn't suggest you pulling that message out of your hat the next time they invite you to be the guest speaker at your local synagogue.

00:49:53.072 --> 00:49:59.731
Amen Wisdom would probably tell you to keep that one to yourself.

00:49:59.731 --> 00:50:01.971
But it's still true.

00:50:01.971 --> 00:50:03.208
Go to God.

00:50:03.208 --> 00:50:10.516
David had his own Melchizedek.

00:50:10.516 --> 00:50:25.293
First he had it in Samuel when Samuel came to him, picked him out of all of his brothers and anointed him as king, amen, and then in Zadok.

00:50:25.293 --> 00:50:30.949
In fact, zadok's name comes from the second part of the name of Melchizedek.

00:50:30.949 --> 00:50:34.110
Zadok's name comes from the second part of the name of Melchizedek.

00:50:34.110 --> 00:50:38.213
The name Melchizedek means basically king and priest.

00:50:38.213 --> 00:50:46.780
It means other things as well, because there's many meanings to the words, but it means king and priest, amen.

00:50:47.460 --> 00:51:01.900
David in his day, was the king, zadok was the priest, but this priest, zadok, was not the rightful high priest in his day.

00:51:01.900 --> 00:51:05.974
Abiathar was, but Abiathar disqualified himself.

00:51:05.974 --> 00:51:35.114
We're going to talk about that a lot in a week or so, about how this priesthood and the priesthood that we're a part of and the sonship we're a part of, you can be disqualified and you can be moved aside if you won't step into the eternity that is required for us to do this work that we're called to do in these days, this battle that is raging with the spirit of Antichrist.

00:51:35.114 --> 00:51:38.233
Hallelujah, glory to God.

00:51:38.233 --> 00:51:46.175
David in his day was a milky, he was a king and he had a Zadok who was the priest.

00:51:46.175 --> 00:51:49.672
Amen, because he is a perfect.

00:51:49.672 --> 00:51:56.876
David is a perfect type of Jesus who would be both king and priest unto God.

00:51:56.876 --> 00:52:05.014
Hallelujah to Jesus, king of Israel, king of Jerusalem, king of the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:52:05.014 --> 00:52:06.409
Are you hearing this?

00:52:06.409 --> 00:52:07.253
Glory to God?

00:52:07.253 --> 00:52:34.429
David was given all these promises Eternal kingship, the birth line of the Messiah and the seed, eternal priesthood through Melchizedek and Judah, the redemption of Jerusalem, the first God-ordained priest and king over Jerusalem since Melchizedek and king over Jerusalem since Melchizedek.

00:52:34.429 --> 00:52:39.634
And then he walked in this priesthood, in this Melchizedek relationship, in it, with a priest called Samuel and a priest called Zadok.

00:52:40.137 --> 00:52:41.563
You can't get away from this stuff.

00:52:41.563 --> 00:52:44.074
It's right there in the Bible amen.

00:52:44.074 --> 00:52:50.891
Everybody thinks that that that you know between Moses and Jesus is just this thing called the law.

00:52:50.891 --> 00:52:52.695
It was not that way.

00:52:52.695 --> 00:53:00.981
Amen, because of Samuel and because of Zadok.

00:53:00.981 --> 00:53:21.753
Amen, and because of the disobedience of Solomon, that God just broke out of the law so that he could get to the incarnation In the fullness of time.

00:53:21.753 --> 00:53:34.478
God brought forth a Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem all of those who were under the curse of the law.

00:53:34.478 --> 00:53:47.692
Hallelujah, god was trying to break out from under the law and get to this incarnation, where the seed had to fall to the ground and die.

00:53:47.692 --> 00:53:56.351
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, amen you may stand.

00:53:56.351 --> 00:53:57.213
Praise God.

00:53:57.213 --> 00:53:59.447
Thank you, jesus.
