Exploring Theological Themes in Hebrews

Okay, do we need that little box up there or no? You do? You do? Okay. Alright, so we good? Alright, and my mic is on. Alright. Wow, I can cut that thing right on out from the top, huh? All right. Oh, that's all good. All right, so this will be part 18. And the focus is going to be understanding the theological themes in the book of Hebrews. We will be highlighting ways of understanding prophecy. Lastly, some thoughts concerning the Ruach. Okay? Ruach meaning the spirit. So Har Ruach is the spirit. All right. Of course, we know the rules. Please keep your mic muted except when asking or answering a question. Use the mic to speak. There's a feature in the room where you can raise your hand if you have a question. All questions must be on the topic. You have 60 seconds to ask or answer a question. If you... pass your 60-second window, your mic will be muted for you. These rules are due to time and their recordings of the lessons. There are live teachings. We must give Mori enough time to complete the lesson. All right, so we'll get right into it. The book of Hebrews. All right, so it says, Allahu at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, the Nebi'im, right? So it's going to be very important to know about prophets, prophet, prophecy. All those go together. OK, so keep in mind, I highlight it red because we're going to revisit that today. Prophecy. Yep. Number two, it says, has in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world or the ages. So we look at. Verse two, it says in these last days spoken of by his son. Notice that's an age. Remember, remember, these last days represent something. Now, in the future, we can line up these days or these ages with Jubilee ages. Right. But we're not going to do that today. But just know that this is how things are set up in the father's time. OK, his time, his order, everything has a time. All right. These passages link to Hebrews chapter 2, 5 through 9, which says, For it was not to Melchizedek that Eloah subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, what is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you care for him? For you made him a little while lower than the Melchizedek, you have crowned him with esteem and honor, chabod and honor, putting everything in subjection unto his feet. So we're going to go where this quote is in Psalms. Okay, we'll go in a minute, but the thought I want you to see here is, here's something that was said in Psalms, and the question becomes, was it fulfilled in Psalms, or was it not fulfilled in Psalms? So it could have been fulfilled with David, or was this fulfilled for the Mashiach, or how do you guys look at this? Right, where this is coming from? This is coming from somewhere. So this is coming from Psalms, right? It says, what is man that you are mindful of him, and instead of man that you visit him, for you have made him a little lower than the Malakim and have crowned him with the Chabot of the Seem and Honor. You made him to have domain over the works. of your hands, you have put all things under his feet. So question is, it's said here, but it's also said in the book of Hebrews. Is Psalms talking about the Mashiach or Psalms talking about David? How does that work? Okay, they're going to give you a mic. When I read it in Hebrews and Psalms and what it's saying there, I came to, like, it's about the Messiah. Okay, so your conclusion is it came that Psalms was talking about the Messiah. Does anyone have anything different? So all the mics are down. I don't see David having dominion over all the works of his hands. Even though man, initially, that's what he commanded us to have, dominion over the fish of the sea, pretty much all the works of his hands here on earth. But he said he's put all things under his feet. So I don't think David had all. He didn't have death under his feet because he'd be alive. OK, but we don't see death. We got to go by what we see here. Right. So it says, what is man that you mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him for? You have made him a little lower than Melchizedek. So that's the making of the man and have crowned him with esteem and honor. You have made him to have domain over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet. Who is his feet? Man. Man. Right. So it has to be Adam. Right. Man or mankind. Right. But notice here that this here can talk about everyone that's having this domain of the father gives domain in certain places. But it's an ongoing fulfillment. That's what I want us to see. This is ongoing. This is this hasn't stopped. So you read something that says, oh, it was fulfilled over here. And they say, oh, see. And then if you find, which we're going to go over today, you'll find that some places have been filled inside the Tanakh already. And they say, well, how could the Brit Kadashah or the New Testament say it's been fulfilled over here when we already know it's been fulfilled over here? Right. So we'll see those examples today. Right. That's why I say last days is things are happening certain ages. Right. Same principles happening with all all the scriptures and the prophets. The prophets are prophesied sometimes. of their day and of the future. So we're going to see how this works. All right. So any questions up to this point, Ken? I couldn't hear you. I really couldn't hear you. So you're saying that this particular prophecy is not 100% specific to Hamashiach, even though it is, he is within this prophecy, but it is all those who fall within his seed as well. also have that. Right. We'll see how this goes going forward. So what does prophecy mean? The word for prophecy is Nabua or Nabiah, right? These are two ways of saying the word prophecy and even Nabi, which is somewhat of the root sentence, noun form Nabi. But the point is, what does prophecy mean? Can someone tell me what that means? I know you guys done some real good research and you just want to say, hey, I've read that before. Something that has not happened yet or something that is foretold. Something that has not happened yet or something that is foretold. OK, anyone else? A prediction. Prediction. OK, prediction. Anything else? Something that's going to happen in the future. I think y'all are saying the same thing in different ways you like. Okay. Thanks, Tom. Okay. Got to raise your hand. Okay. Maury, do you have something? Prophecy also could be for direction. Foresight also for correction. Okay. All right. I was going to say. It's basically the will of the Most High, Yah, what he has determined. OK, so let's look at some definitions here. OK, so Nabi, meaning the root of the verb of it. Now, this is in Ugaritic, Arcadian. All of them have it meaning name or to something to call, to call out something. All right. So it means prophetic utterance. OK, a prophetic utterance. All right, Bible sense, look at it, it says prophecy in and out, a prophetic utterance with a focus on the whole of the content. OK, then prophecy records. Now it says a written record of a prophet, a prophetic utterance with a focus on the whole of the content. So a prophetic utterance and there's a written one. Right. So the point becomes is you're going to notice that these utterances is going to be something that he can be talking about at that time. It's also something he can talk about that time, but it's also going to be in the content. You can see it in the future. So you're going to see parallels of the same thing happening in different centuries. Does that make sense? Like you say, OK, I'll give you one. Daniel talks about Daniel chapter 9, maybe starting about verse 25, talks about going down, if you read that, the abomination of desolation. Everyone familiar with that, right? So the abomination of desolation, Daniel prophesies about this question. When did that abomination of desolation take place? Okay, so during the Maccabean period, you read about the abomination of desolation. But you also read about it in 70 CE. So was Daniel talking about 70 CE, or was he talking about the Maccabean period? My point is that you'll see that these cycles and those destructions happen at the same year. You know, both temples, if you will. But at any rate, my point is that you'll see that it did happen in the future in one spot. And then it happened again later in 70 CE. All right? So everyone understands what I'm saying. When he prophesied, when the Father gave you something, the Father can give you something that could be of the future, but he also can give you something that's cyclical. It's not only going to happen there, it's going to happen again, it's going to happen again, and we're going to see an example of that in Leviticus, or Acre, chapter 26. All right, so everyone's good up to this point? All right. So I said prophecy is not limited to a one-time event. It can repeat until it reaches its fullness. There are multiple prophecies that were only partially fulfilled. A prophet can prophesy of what will happen in their day and in the future. Okay. All right. Yirmiyahu. Here's some examples of one. And then I got one that... I think you guys might catch. All right, so how to understand some prophecy in the B'rit Hadashah. So Yom Yahuwah 315 says, Thus saith Yahuwah, a voice was heard in Ramah, lamentations and bitter weeping, Rachel, weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith Yahuwah, reframe your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears. For your works, your work shall be rewarded, sayeth Yehuah, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. Now, question is, how and why is Raquel weeping? You said you need to speak in the mic? I was just speaking. I was just saying Raquel wasn't even alive, so he's got to be speaking figurative Raquel. Okay, so you say Raquel is dead. So how can she be weeping? Anyone? Her children are weeping. Prophetically? Okay, so in this situation here, why is this weeping happening anyway? Obviously, there's a captivity happening. The kids have been, the children have been driven off the land. Okay. So, but why Raquel then? Oh, it was Yosef's. Huh? It's Yosef's kids. You know, he's the one, you know, that has the name, bears the name. His children bears the name. Okay. Of Israel. Okay, so, but Raquel, Raquel, who's her children? And Yosef. Yosef. Okay. All right. Okay, let's read something really fast. Yirmiyahu 40 verse 1 says, The word that came to Yirmiyahu from Yahuwah, after that Nebuzar Ma'ad, the other guy there, the captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah. When he had taken him, being bound in chains among all that were carried away, captive of Yerushalayim and Yehudah, which were carried away captive into Babylon, right? Ramah was the place where Yehudah was taken in captivity in the land of Benjamin, okay? In Benjamin, in Benjamin. So, but it's saying Raquel is weeping. So how does that work? Right, so it's her children, technically, if you're following this here, it's technically her children are weeping, and this thing is happening in the land of Benjamin. Okay, is everyone with me so far? Right, right, right, it's in that territory. All right, so now Matthew's. So 18 says, and Rama was there, voice heard, lamentations and weeping, a great morning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they are not. Okay, so I put mirrored event. So the reason I'm putting mirrored event for right now, we're not really going into Matthews and how that works. I'm simply stating that there is a mirroring effect that's happening in this time that happened in the time of Yirmiyahu's prophecy. No? Everyone can hear me, right? Everyone can hear me, right? Okay. It sounds like the mic went off. I'm right here. Huh? Yes, we can hear you. Okay. All right. So, as we see, there's going to be a mirroring effect, or there was a mirroring effect that happened during the time. Have you guys know the story of Herod and the babies and the killing? Okay. So there is a mirroring that took place. And this is why they were using that, not to say that the writer of Matthew is saying that this is the fulfillment of Yirmeyahu as though nothing else ever happened in his day. Why? Because you know that they didn't even have Matthew's revelation at this time. They had the Tanakh. They knew exactly what the writing said and what happened in these days. But we start seeing cycles of the same thing. This is a fulfillment. This is fulfilled. Right. But not to say that it's doing away with the other. fulfillments. Is everyone with me so far? Okay, we'll see more of that in a minute. So in scripture, there are cycles or events that repeat itself in different centuries. Nothing new under the sun. When these events come again, the view is as a fulfillment of prophecy that happened in their day. They are not stating that the event did not happen in the time of the Tanakh. All they had was the Tanakh. It's about the application of the event, okay? So we're going to go through an exodus, if you will, right? There was an exodus that took place for the other tribe, for the northern tribe, the southern tribe. So my point is, these things are cycles that's going to keep happening over and over again, but it's building to something, and this is what we're going to see. All right, so... Some ways to understand prophecy. So what is the main number that is considered a prophetic number? Seven, right? Okay, so now the number seven, yes, there are more numbers, 340. We're not going to talk about those numbers, right? But my point is we can glean from the numbers. What can we glean from the seven? I'm just giving it to you. So seven days of creation, right? Seven feast days are aligned to the cyclical cycles of seven. First, in the last seven feast days, which means that unleavened bread, you got seven days of unleavened bread. The last, or the seventh month, which is tabernacle, Sukkot, you have seven days. So this cycle of seven is for a reason. So I want you to see in the feast days and in the weekly Shabbat, there's a number of seven, right? Seven days, Yahuwah caused the rain in the days of Noach. If you remember the story, he told them in seven days, this is going to take place. Did this happen in the Jubilee cycle? Absolutely. But we're not talking about that today. And then Noah stays in the ark and sends forth a dove. Seven days. You guys remember that, right? All right. The seven lambs as a witness for Abraham. the priests sprinkled blood seven times you know everyone's familiar with that great um washed seven times in the yardane do i remember that with uh elisha he tell him hey go in there and okay and then miriam spent seven days outside the camp right uh righteous man may fall seven times all right listen what does that mean first What does that mean? Anyone, it's okay. I know some of y'all don't think they can fall. a righteous man can fall right he can all all and not saying women won't but mankind in general i'm saying is we all can fall short being righteous but we can make mistakes we can fall but we have to keep getting up pent and doing everyone with me so far hallelujah all right um yacob served seven years for raquel and for leah everyone remember that right it was like nothing to him She was so, it was like, man, when he got Leah, seven years? No, he didn't say that. All right. The dreams of Yosef having seven cows, seven abominations of Yahuwah, mission of Proverbs 6.16. The list goes on. There's about 40 cycles, but I wasn't going to put all 40 on here. All right. Revelations 120, the mysteries of the seven stars, which are, which you saw in the right hand and the seven golden. menorahs are candlesticks, the seven stars are the malakim of the seven assemblies, and the seven menorahs, the candlesticks which you saw, are the seven assemblies. Now, again, there's a prophecy in these cycles of seven, right? There's prophecies in it. There's appointed times, and when some of these events, or majority of these events, that's in the day of Yahuwah, if his day is feast days, if his day is Shabbat, then judgment and other things are going to be happening. on the day that he has appointed, right? Is everyone with me so far? Everyone's good for this part? Okay, good. So when it comes to end time prophecy, I want to show these cycles pointing to prophecies and prophetic cycles. Most main events fall on the day of Yahuwah. This includes things happening to his people and those who are not. The day of Yahuwah will be a day of judgment. So you I'll give just a little example. Leviticus 26 18 says, and if you will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. Then he says, and if you will walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. There's something about this seven and the punishment that's going to take place. And these punishments happen to be happening on feast days or his day. Okay, when I say his day, like Yom Shabbat. Okay, keep that in mind. Then you go to Matthew 18, 21. Then came Kepha to him and said, Adonai, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him till seven times? And then he says. Yahushua says unto him, I say unto you until seven times, but until 70 times seven, right? So I said, so when you put feast days, judgments, Shabbat day of rest, forgiveness, and other days, events together, they all make up the day of Yahuwah. Cycles are to help us see his plan of salvation and redemption. Each fulfillment of prophecy is a time drawing closer to his final day. Every age is linked to a Jubilee. These are also linked to events or repeated events. OK, so again, right now, this is just I'm just really highlighting this here. But when we maybe do maybe just a series on Jubilees, then we'll add how that works and go over some of these events. I don't know. We're going to be able to do that. I think that's not going to happen no time soon. All right. That's on the wish list. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So here's some here's something I want you guys to see. Here's another example. After six days, Yosha takes Kepha, Yaakov and Yochanan, his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart and was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Musheh Moses and Eliyahu. talking with him. What do you get out of that? We read this a lot of times, I'm sure, right? What did we get out of this here? Absolutely nothing, huh? I understand. Well, let's see what we can get. Okay, it's okay. Well, let's just look. I'm glad we were able to talk about it today. After the sixth day, there was a transfiguration. Okay, this was a small picture of what's to come. Musha was a picture of someone who died and was resurrected. Eliyahu was a picture of those that have not died at his coming. Okay? So now, if you think about what's happening here, if the 6,000, which we're going to talk about in a minute, if you think about a 6,000-year reign and then a 7,000-year millennial reign, it aligns itself to six days you work, seventh day is a Shabbat of rest. And that millennial reign is on that. 7,000th year, which means there's a rest. There's going to be a transfiguration. So here's a picture, just a small picture of how that would look. Okay. Is everyone with me so far? Is there anything else you might see in here? Okay. Well, that's when they transfigure on that seventh day. Sure. Anything else? That's it. Awesome. Mujah and Eliyahu represents the law and the prophets. I mean, that's originally that every time you think about them together, it's just the law and the prophets. I never thought of them as being. I never saw. of Musha as being the representation of one who died and was resurrected or Eliyahu as one who has not died. OK. So next, what prophet is the last book of the Tanakh? What was what's that prophet traditionally? And then Tanakh, the last one. Malachi. Okay, Malachi. And this is what Malachi says. Remember you the law of Moshe and Moses, my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb, for all Israel with statutes and judgment. Behold, I will send you Elijah. the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahuwah. And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. These I come and smite the earth with a curse. So the very last prophet is showing you Moses and the prophet again. See that. So and then it's telling you that use this on. Now, this is the last in the canon, if you will. So when it carries over here, you got someone is coming in the. in the spirit of Eliyahu or Elijah. And he's pointing to the Mashiach. And the Mashiach is teaching about the laws and the prophets and saying, it's speaking of me, right? So this carries over into saying, this should be a continuation of understanding going forward. Not how traditional Christianity or Christendom is today, where all that's been washed. We don't have to do that no more. First century, second century, third century, I think all the way to maybe the fifth or sixth century, they still believed in keeping law, statutes, and commandments. and belief in the Mashiach. Okay. All right. So everyone's good so far. All right. So just a little fast. I said, can you see the law, Moshe and the prophets, Eliyahu, speaking of his word? All right. Let's go. Keep going. Exodus 24, 16 says, and the Kabbalah, the esteem of Yehua abode upon Mount Sinai and the cloud covered it. How many? Six days. And the seventh day he called unto Moshe Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Will this be a future pattern? In the thousand year reign will be a gathered, be gathered to Mount Zion? Question. Is this prophetic? So now my first point here is just to say, notice the six days. And then on seventh day, he takes Moses up into the mountain. So is there a time where we're going to meet the Mashiach at Mount Zion or Mount Zion, right? And in that day, what day would that be? If we use the pattern of what we're seeing, right? Because we're going to get rest, right? All right. So more on this in the future. Shemot 21.1 says, Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them. If you buy a Hebrew servant six years, he shall serve in... and the seventh, he shall go out free for nothing, right? The feast day, the feast of Jubilees are also set in this manner, even the sabbatical years as well, right? Let your servants go free, all right? So there's a cycle that we need to see about these sevens that we'll see, we'll talk about in the future. Isaiah 61 says, The spirit of Yahuwah denies upon me because Yahuwah has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. And he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and opening of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of Yahuwah and the day of vengeance of our Elohim to comfort all that mourn. Now, mind you, this here is a set time. Of course, you can read this in Luke chapter 4, 18 and 7, 22 about the Meshach reading this hearing in the ear because it was set at a certain time. All right. The acceptable year. Right. Keep that in mind. Three says to appoint unto them that mourn in Sion to give unto them beauty for ashes and oil of joy. So right now, the oil of joy that we have is just a small token of what's going to happen in the future. OK, for mourning the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. that they might be called trees of righteousness planted of Yahuwah, that he might be esteemed. All right. Everyone starting to see these cycles so far? Okay. So that's the cycles of seven. We're only going to briefly talk about this here, which is, but beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing that one day is with Yahuwah as... a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, right? And you can see Psalms, Tehillim 84, technically Mismore 84, 10 and 90 verse 4. Who was the oldest that ever lived on the earth? Methuselah, everyone agrees? All right, so he says he's 969 years old, right? My name is Bereshit or Genesis 527. Adam lived 930. You can find that in Bereshit Genesis 5.5. But think about this here. He says, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it. In it the day that you eat, thereof you shall surely die, right? So now, no one lived to be a thousand years old, okay? Not one day in Yah's eyes, right? So no one lived the day, his day, on this earth. with Yahuwah, okay? But I put, we will in the thousand-year reign of Mashiach. So I'm saying, think about the garden. Things are going to always be pointing back to the garden, okay? All right. Revelations 20, verse 4 says, And I saw the thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua. And for the word of Elohim. Wait a minute. Even for the word of... What word are they talking about? So we saw the Mashiach, but the word of Elohim too? So that must mean... And if the word of Elohim is the Tanakh, that means it must still stand. Anyway. Okay. And which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Mashiach a thousand years, but the rest of the dead lived not again until a thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Doe, you had something? He might have hit it by accident. He might have bumped it by accident. All right. So everyone's with me so far. No problems. All right, so when you add up the days from the time of Adam, you should come up to about 6,000 years. Anyone? Right, right. From Adam to now, you should be in our 6,000 years right now. Huh? No, we're both. The 7,000 year is understood to be the seventh day. This can be seen as a timeline linked to the seven days of creation. Now, I said these are cycles of a thousand that we read early, which we just went over really fast. But I am simplifying this slide into cycles of 2000. All right. So now in between these cycles, we must have the cycles of seven. The Jubilee cycles will help with this in future series. Whenever that series would be, I'm not going to give you a time. It could be 2040. All right. Adam was created about 4000 years before Mashiach. OK. 4,000 years before Mashiach. Are you with me so far? All right. Before Mashiach was created in the womb of Miriam. From Adam. To Abraham, it was 2,000 years, okay? From Abraham to Yahushua is 2,000 years, all right? So we are 2,000 years, meaning today, Akshav, now, we are 2,000 years from the time of Yahushua the Mashiach, right? Hence, we have today, we're 2020, as it says today, as it commonly called. So I want you to see these 2,000s in this manner so far. All right, so... Mashiach's birth, death, and resurrection. This will be important if you understand the events of that time and today's time. So I put more in the future. And again, this future is going to be so far away. I decided just to give you some highlights because you might want to just go ahead and get started studying on your own. So knowledge increased during that time of the Mashiach. Knowledge increased 2,000 years later. Awakening of his people, he woken up those that were asleep, if you will. He's waking his people up now. That's asleep. OK, the pouring out of the Ruach 2000 years, pouring out of Ruach now. Does everyone understand what's happening? All right. So I said each 2000 year cycle cycles repeated itself with his people. If we was a breakdown in every 2000 years, it was happening the same time within that cycles. OK, is everyone with me so far? Everyone understands. All right. So, OK, so. So that's why I make sure that if you really want to study this out, you can look at what happened in Abraham. He got a covenant. This happens. Something's happening here. And then what else happened? You know, what did he do? Did he keep the law, statutes and commandments? This is what it says in Bereshit, chapter 26, verse five. OK, great. As you go down to a thousand years later, what happened? Two thousand years after that, what happened? Right. So that'd be a great, awesome study for you guys to do on your time. Hallelujah. Now, the word fulfillment, once more, male, be full, to feel fullness, that which feels fulfilled, completed. This word is used throughout scripture to show age or ages, being fulfilled, but also cycles of fulfillment. When you read fulfilled, it says in, let's say, in the B'ri Kadashah, they are showing another fulfillment in their age. They are not discounting things that were already fulfilled or partially fulfilled. Does everyone see that, right? So just because you read something in Matthews, Mark, Luke, or John, and it fulfilled this, you say, okay, so that's when it got fulfilled. No other time was it ever fulfilled in the Tanakh. That's not what it's saying, all right? All right. What is the point of suffering? I know it sprung up on you guys. I think we need to suffer a little bit more so we can get the point. They may not understand what suffering does for. No? Okay, no problem. Well, let's read about something. Hebrews 2.9 says, But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than Malakim, for the suffering of death, crowned with esteem and honor, that he, by the favor of Eloah, should taste death for every man. Now, in the Targums, it has, you know, and you made him a little less than Malakim and you crown him with esteem and brightness. King James has you have made him a little lower than Malakim and crown him with esteem and honor, chabad and honor. OK, now 10 says, for it became him for whom all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto esteem to make the captain of their salvation. Perfect through. suffering. Now, how does that work? No one's been through suffering here? No, I mean, if you haven't, then wow, man, I really need to talk to you guys. Like, how did you get there? All right. Okay. He's on his way. Most of my suffering came from my own. disobedience. From your own disobedience? The Father's word. And that's a place where if we continue to pray, what I did, I kept praying, asking for forgiveness. And asked that he let the Ruach and as Yahushua, I just need a little more strength. Where can I get it? Through the scriptures. Okay? Okay. All right. So just keep in mind salvation. Perfect through suffering. Keep that in mind. Hebrews 5a says, though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. OK, see how you might go through something, learn obedience through the suffering, if you will, and being made perfect. He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him. So perfection or maturity can come by two things. obedience and suffering. I want to interject there. When we think of suffering, I think a lot of times Agony and pain. Yeah, but this suffering is endurance. The things he endured. And if we endure with obedience, we can make our salvation perfect. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age. Even those who, by reason of you, have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. So for you guys in the future, I would like to look up the term for suffering and look up discerning both good and evil. Now, we've already went over a little bit of that already, if you guys remember. But if you haven't, by all means, it will be a good study for you guys. Suffering sometimes is designed to make you mature, a form of chastisement. It is to push you to obedience, to help you learn, also to be an example for others that may go through. Sometimes you don't know why you're going through. It doesn't even make any sense. But then later on in life, you realize someone else is going through something that might you want to lose their life. You can say, hold on. I was there. Let me tell you how I got out of it. Let me share it. Let me talk to you. Things like that. OK, so you don't never know. Now, it's a well, why would he do that to me? Because some of us, you know, we're just too good for that. So why would he do that to me? And then you got this. Then you read about somebody that was blinded. And he said he was blinded for this hour, for this moment. Why would he do that? Right. So, again, you don't know what the reason might be. All right. Hebrews 7, 19 says, for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of the better hope did by which he draw nigh unto Eloah. So. Here's your word for perfect, teleo, right? Means complete or perfect. Another meaning is final step, supreme stage, crown, goal, maturity, result, conclusion, end, session. Verbally meaning in finally or fully or totally. Now, the law makes nothing perfect. What do you mean the law makes nothing perfect? How does that work? The law makes nothing perfect. Why not? Is this the first time you've ever seen Hebrews 7.19? It's the very first time, my king. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm glad we're talking about it today. Yep. This is actually, yeah, it's in the canon. I was going to say, the law doesn't make it perfect because, honestly, it's like, it's the instruction. It's why you're learning. I was actually, yeah, it's in the canon. I was going to say, the law doesn't make it perfect because... She had to turn her mic down so we can hear. It's during the time where you're still learning. So it's just like in school, okay? You haven't reached that point of full understanding. So you are not really where you need to be, in other words. Okay. All right. Someone else had something? All right. So here's the deal. It says the law makes nothing perfect. In other words, it doesn't make you a certain way. You have to make a decision. I don't know if you can hear me, Maury, but the law makes nothing perfect. In other words, she has to turn her mic down because she's getting feedback. We're not going to be able to hear her. Okay. So when you think about what the law does, it's instructions. right everyone understands it instructs you there's still another part to that instruction that you have to do which we'll talk about in a minute so it's not going to make you perfect okay i kept the shabbat next and i'll keep the shabbat again next and i kept the feast days every time i didn't have my heart in it i wasn't happy i just did it because he told me to do it letter of the law that's what it's about anything else it's not designed for that so when i'm in the throne i said father yes i did i kept every Shabbat that you told me. And he said, well, let me just show you your heart. Well, it doesn't matter. I kept your law, right? That's what it's talking about, right? So we'll see that in a minute. So 9a says, the Kodesh Ruach, or set-apart spirit, this signifying that the way into this set-apart of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing, which was a figure of for the time then present, in which were offered both gift and sacrifice. that could not make him that did service perfect as pertaining to the conscience. Even sacrificing. So in other words, not just the law, but, oh, okay, I'm about to go do it. I'm going to sin willfully, or I'm going to do this, and all I need to go get me a bull or a goat and sacrifice, I should be fine. There's something wrong with your heart. If you're not going to do the law, or if at the time of sacrifice, you're just doing it because you just know that all you need to do is a sacrifice, you have a problem. All right, 10-1 says, for the law having a shadow of good things to come. So is the law good? Is it perfect? Yes. So the law itself is perfect, and it is good, and it is spiritual, but you are the problem. So we have to fix you. It's designed to help you, right? That way you can get that better hope. Anyway, so it says, For law is a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never, with those sacrifices which they offer year by year, continually make the comers their unto perfect. Matthew 5.48 says, Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father, which is in heaven. We can't be perfect. No one is able to be perfect, right? He's lying to you. Huh? No one's. Have you got heard that before, though? But of course, we understand it from King James, not King James, but a Webster's dictionary or some type of dictionary that defying that word perfect versus the Hebrew word Tamim. Right. All right. So we'll see in a minute what what. Well, you got the definition of tough, which means mature and things like that. But anyway, we'll see some more. Acts 222, verse three says, I am verily a man which am. a Yehudah, born of Tarsus, a city of Sicilia, yet brought up in the city at the feet of Gamliel, and he taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the father, and was zealous towards Eloah, as you all are this day. So yes, being taught according to the perfect manner of the law, he said, well, of the fathers, but it says, and was zealous towards Elohim and the Father as well, right? So we're going to see that there has to be a connection there. Romans 12, 2 says, and be not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing where? Okay. So the law can tell you everything you want it to do, but you have to get your mind right. You got to change your mind in order for this to work. Okay. So the renewing of your mind that you may prove that which is good. What was considered good? The law is good. Okay, now you can prove it's good and acceptable. And is the law perfect? Okay, and perfect. And that is what? That is the will of the law. That is the will of Yahuwah. Okay, 1 Corinthians 2, 6 says, how be it we speak wisdom among them that are that are perfect, right? Telios means someone that's mature or someone that is focused. How come we're not focused? Okay, I'm mature. Okay, let's just say you are. Are you focused in your maturity? If you're not, then you're going to have a problem, right? So be focused, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor the prince of this world that comes to naught. 2 Corinthians 7.1, having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from some filthiness. Oh, I'm sorry. All filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting set apart in the fear of the law. Now, if you think about this here, if you ask yourself, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness. What filthiness do you guys, what filthiness do you think he's talking about? I'm not, let's just say lust of the flesh. We got that. How about some other things? That hatred, that bitterness I got in my heart, that disdain for other people, lack of love, trust, trust issues, all kinds. Yeah. Idols. Oh, kind of idols you're talking about. My car, my house, my children, my wife, all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Okay. So. Don't mind this. OK, so I want to be very clear that if you want to also know some some fast ways of finding filthiness, everyone know the fruit of the spirit, right? The opposite of all those fruits. Just do the opposite of all those fruits. You got a soul. You're good to go. Right. The opposite of all the fruits. You should be in business. All right. That's like that. Just keep that in mind. 2 Timothy 3.16 says, All scripture is given by inspiration of the law and is proper for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. So in other words, this is what the law, this is what its instructions can do. It can give you the reproof. It can give you the correction, the instructions to righteousness. It gives you everything that you need, but you have to make a decision, not just knowing what the word says or what the law says, but you have to actually apply it in your life. There has to be some works in there. Faith without works is dead. All right. James 1.25 says, But whoso look into the perfect law of liberty. Wait a minute. The law gives you liberty? When does it not give you liberty? When does it not give you? When you're fighting the thing you want to do. And you feel the laws hindering you from doing what you, your soul wants to do. And I'm not talking about no one in here. I'll give you an example like crabs, lobsters. So let's suppose you want, I mean, is that, we remember last week I said, is that going to stop me from getting into the kingdom? Because I ate some shrimp. You mean to tell me, man, listen, I like to put some butter on that thing, eat that puppy. I just ask for forgiveness after I get done. That ain't nothing. He's not going to let me stop because I had some shrimp. OK, now keep on eating. We'll see. I want you to keep in mind because some people, you know, have a different understanding what liberty is. Liberty, everything the father giving law is good for you. The thing that's not good for you when you do it all of a sudden. Oh, my gosh, I got this illness. Oh, I got this happened to me. Oh, I got worms coming out my tail. And you say, well, what happened? What? Yeah, well, y'all didn't ever had that? Ain't nobody had that? Oh, okay. Huh? Okay. So just think about it now. When you start eating those nasty foods, when you start eating those nasty foods, your body's telling on you. You can smell it, you know, whether your friends, families around or not, it's there. All right. We'll keep going. Hebrews 6, 1 says, therefore, leaving the principle of the doctrine of Mashiach. So what is that? Let us go on to where? Okay. All right. So we got the understanding with the doctrine of Mashiach, right? Not laying of hands again, foundation of repentance, of dead works, and the faith towards Elohim. We got all that, right? Of the doctrine of immersion and laying of hands and the resurrection of the dead. These are all milk things. Now it's time to mature. It's time to move on to perfection, right? And that perfection is going to require some changing of your mind, a renewing of your mind, a renewing of your heart. Okay. Is everyone good so far? All right. So remember the perfect will of Yahuwah. Now let's look at it in the book of Kings. First Kings 861 says, let your heart therefore be perfect. What's the word for perfect here? Shalem. Shalem. Right. Shalem. To be complete, sound, to be true, to be whole with Yahuwah Elohim, to walk in his statutes and keep his commandments as it. as at this day. First Chronicles 29 says, for you, Shlomo, my son, know you, you that Elohei, our father, and severe him with a perfect heart, hence a perfect heart with the will. The word for will is? hafiz okay hafiz right take delight it means or to be pleasant to have a desire so i he wants you with this perfect heart with a willing or a delight for a pleasurable way right it says your mind mind is the word nefesh right Refresh oneself. Okay? Refresh oneself. Your mind needs to have a refreshing, right? So, but also notice that your mind does have an appetite. It wants everything. What about this? What about that? How about this? What do you think about this? Why are you doing that? Right? All right. That's your soul. Got 50 billion questions, right? Anyway, for Yahuwah searches all hearts and understanding. And it says, all the imagination of the thoughts. If you seek him. He will be found of you. But if you forsake him, he will cast you far off forever. Of course, you know, these two here. I delight to do your will. O my Ali. Yea, your law is within my heart. So when it's within your heart, that means it's within your your labor, your heart, your mind, your thought. You constantly thinking about his word and how you can please him. Matthew 7.21 says, Not everyone that is sent to me, Adonai, Adonai, shall enter through the kingdom of heaven, or Shemayim, but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mark 3.35, For whosoever shall do the will of Yehua, the same is my brother and my sister and my mother. Right? So, the will of Yehua. That's how you're going to know them, by their fruits. Okay? 1 John 2.17 says, For the world passes away. and the luster of. But he that does the will of the Lord abides forever. Okay. All right. Something must tell you his will, make you complete, whole, and sound. It must be perfect, right? So this is how you get to the perfect will of Yahuwah. Something has to tell you how to do that. that's what his law that's what his commandments are for it's telling you how to do that and once it tells you how to do it then the next part is decision time decision time is will i be willing to do this or not i like that father no i don't like that now that makes sense but can i do it this way can we negotiate your law statutes and commandments oh yeah you know uh i'm not ready yet but i do love you oh yeah you We don't have those moments. Be patient with me. Still working on me. All right. So keep that in mind. All right. So the book of Hebrews, back to the book of Hebrews 8.8. Listen to what it says. And then I got some things for you guys and then we'll close. This is for finding fault with them. He says, Behold, the days are coming, saith Yahuwah, when I will make a new or renewed covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Yehudah. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the days that I took them out by the hand and led them out of the land of Mitzrayim or Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahuwah. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. Israel, after those days, saith Yahuwah, I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts. and I will be to them an Elohim, and they shall be to me a people. Now, of course, we see this repeat here in Jeremiah 31, 31. But before we talk about that, notice that it's still saying the days are coming. It hasn't. So someone said it already came. It says the days are still coming. And in this coming, what's supposed to happen? The law is going to be in their minds, written on their hearts, right? And then he will be their Elohim. So in order for me to do that, you need to be doing these things. Okay? Now, Yom Yahuwah 31, 31. It's just a repeat. Behold, the days are coming. Sayeth Yehudah, I will make a new or renewed covenant with the house of Israel or Yashroel and with the house of Yehudah. Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the days that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitzrayim, which my covenant they break. Although I was a husband unto them. Sayeth Yehudah. this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days. I will put my laws in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their Elohim and they shall be my people. So, again, it's showing that there's a continuation. There's still a fulfillment that still has to take place. Is everyone with me so far? All right. So now I put why did Israel go into captivity according to Yirmiyahu? OK. So we just read in Yom Ha'Achad 31 and the book of Hebrews chapter 8 that the days are coming and that he will put his law in our inward parts. But let's read just before chapter 31 and see when this would take place. So Yom Ha'Achad 30, 24 says the fierce anger of Yahuwah shall not return until he has done it and until he has performed the intent of his heart. When? In the latter days. you shall understand it. That's when it's going to happen. So put it together with Hebrews 9.26, for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world, but now once in the end of the world or the cosmos has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. So in line with the end time prophecy or tone of Hebrews 9.26, Yirmiyahu's prophecy was also one that was linked to latter days happening. You read that in Yirmiyahu 30.24, in the latter days. With Yirmiyahu 31-31, days are coming. Yirmiyahu 31-33, after those days. Yirmiyahu 30-24 says that Israel, in the latter days, will understand. So this is the time that we will understand in these last days. What is the intent of Elohim's heart? In expressing His fierce anger against them, Elohim will put His law within them and on their heart, which is based on Him forgiving their iniquity. That is, Israel would understand that the consequences of Elohim's judgment of them is not merely to punish, but ultimately that forgiveness would be extended to them. OK, so it's an ongoing prophecy. And you're going to see these cycles happening over and over again until it's being fulfilled. And I don't know if I put on this slide or not, because some stuff I took off. So I'll just tell you that it's like birth pains. these cycles, as they keep coming, they get stronger and stronger. So you start to recognize it because you've read it before, these things written for us for our, right? And then not only that, but reading it, we're actually walking it out. Just like they walked it out, we're walking it out. And we're starting to feel like some of the things that they went through. So these birth pains are going to start to get stronger and stronger until ultimately, you know, he comes. All right. So Hebrews, the taste, no taste in C. Hebrews 6, 4 says, for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Chodesh Ruach and have tasted the good word of Eluah and the powers of the world to come. So the followers of Yahushua had tasted the powers, as we went over earlier, of the age to come. You see that in verse 5, among which is the heavenly gift. which is the Kodesh Ruach, which you just read in verse 4. So this is one of the closest passages that comes to identifying the Kodesh Ruach as a mark of the unbreaking eschological age. Is anyone with me so far? All right, so Romans 8.23 says, and not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Ruach, keep that in mind, even we ourselves grown within ourselves. waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 2 Corinthians 1.21.22 says, Now how which established us with you in Mashiach and has anointed us in Eluah, who has also sealed us and given the earnest of the Ruach in our hearts. Ephesians 1.13 says, In whom you also trusted. After that you heard the word of the truth. the besorah, the good news of your salvation, in whom also after that you believe you were sealed with the Kaddish Ruach of promise, Ephesians 4 30, and grieve not the Kaddish Ruach of Eloah, whereby you are sealed until the day of redemption. Okay, so from the top, tasting of the heavenly gift. So what's the heavenly gift? The Ruach. The Ruach is the heavenly gift. Is everyone with me so far? And then also tasting the good word of Elohim. You got to have both. Right. So then you see. OK, now I'm going to share with you a little bit more about this. The question, though, is what does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach? You guys read that before, too, right? OK. Hallelujah. So I know I'll get a lot of answers. Okay. What does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach? We just read it. What does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach? No? The fruits of the Spirit. Fruits of the Spirit. Okay. So let's define something first. The word first fruit. Notice what the word means, apache, which means to rule, to begin, in the Septuagint or the LXX, usually a sense of a temporal beginning. First fruit, right? First fruits. First fruits, okay? First fruits. Now, we don't have the fullness of the Ruach, okay? We have the first fruits, the beginning phase or phases, if you will. We were not given the Spirit without measure. So what has been given to us are the following. Now, giving you 12, fruit of the Ruach, right? Fruit of the Spirit. The Ruach is a gift that gives gifts, okay? The Ruach or the Spirit helps guide us, helps us grow and mature, okay? The Ruach or the Spirit gives us peace. gentleness, mercy, and willingness. The rock helps us overcome our sinful nature and helps us to resist and overcome shaitan. The rock of the spirit is our down payment for eternal life. Our vessel is built together for inhabitation of the Lord through his rock or through his spirit. The rock gives wisdom and power. The rock is a seal. The Ruach of the Spirit regenerates and renews. The Ruach of the Spirit purifies. And number 12, the Ruach, the Spirit helps us understand the thoughts of Yahuwah. Now, mind you, all these things that the Spirit does, with all of this in mind, it is only the first fruits of the Ruach. There's so much more the Ruach can do, meaning resurrection, meaning transfer. transferring you from one state to another state, meaning there's a lot more that the spirit can do. But just so you know, we are at a stage with this spirit, right? And this was just the gift. This gift is going to become really abundant at the last day when you're going to see how the spirit really works inside of us. All right.

Okay, do we need that little box up there or no? You do? You do?

Okay. Alright, so we good? Alright, and my mic is on. Alright.

Wow, I can cut that thing right on out from the top, huh? All right. Oh, that's all good.

All right, so this will be part 18. And the focus is going to be understanding the theological themes in the book of Hebrews. We will be highlighting ways of understanding prophecy. Lastly, some thoughts concerning the Ruach.

Okay? Ruach meaning the spirit. So Har Ruach is the spirit. All right.

Of course, we know the rules. Please keep your mic muted except when asking or answering a question. Use the mic to speak. There's a feature in the room where you can raise your hand if you have a question.

All questions must be on the topic. You have 60 seconds to ask or answer a question. If you... pass your 60-second window, your mic will be muted for you.

These rules are due to time and their recordings of the lessons. There are live teachings. We must give Mori enough time to complete the lesson.

All right, so we'll get right into it. The book of Hebrews. All right, so it says, Allahu at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, the Nebi'im, right? So it's going to be very important to know about prophets, prophet, prophecy. All those go together.

OK, so keep in mind, I highlight it red because we're going to revisit that today. Prophecy. Yep. Number two, it says, has in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world or the ages.

So we look at. Verse two, it says in these last days spoken of by his son. Notice that's an age. Remember, remember, these last days represent something.

Now, in the future, we can line up these days or these ages with Jubilee ages. Right. But we're not going to do that today.

But just know that this is how things are set up in the father's time. OK, his time, his order, everything has a time. All right. These passages link to Hebrews chapter 2, 5 through 9, which says, For it was not to Melchizedek that Eloah subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, what is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you care for him?

For you made him a little while lower than the Melchizedek, you have crowned him with esteem and honor, chabod and honor, putting everything in subjection unto his feet. So we're going to go where this quote is in Psalms. Okay, we'll go in a minute, but the thought I want you to see here is, here's something that was said in Psalms, and the question becomes, was it fulfilled in Psalms, or was it not fulfilled in Psalms?

So it could have been fulfilled with David, or was this fulfilled for the Mashiach, or how do you guys look at this? Right, where this is coming from? This is coming from somewhere.

So this is coming from Psalms, right? It says, what is man that you are mindful of him, and instead of man that you visit him, for you have made him a little lower than the Malakim and have crowned him with the Chabot of the Seem and Honor. You made him to have domain over the works.

of your hands, you have put all things under his feet. So question is, it's said here, but it's also said in the book of Hebrews. Is Psalms talking about the Mashiach or Psalms talking about David? How does that work?

Okay, they're going to give you a mic. When I read it in Hebrews and Psalms and what it's saying there, I came to, like, it's about the Messiah. Okay, so your conclusion is it came that Psalms was talking about the Messiah.

Does anyone have anything different? So all the mics are down. I don't see David having dominion over all the works of his hands.

Even though man, initially, that's what he commanded us to have, dominion over the fish of the sea, pretty much all the works of his hands here on earth. But he said he's put all things under his feet. So I don't think David had all. He didn't have death under his feet because he'd be alive. OK, but we don't see death.

We got to go by what we see here. Right. So it says, what is man that you mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him for?

You have made him a little lower than Melchizedek. So that's the making of the man and have crowned him with esteem and honor. You have made him to have domain over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet.

Who is his feet? Man. Man. Right. So it has to be Adam.

Right. Man or mankind. Right.

But notice here that this here can talk about everyone that's having this domain of the father gives domain in certain places. But it's an ongoing fulfillment. That's what I want us to see.

This is ongoing. This is this hasn't stopped. So you read something that says, oh, it was fulfilled over here. And they say, oh, see. And then if you find, which we're going to go over today, you'll find that some places have been filled inside the Tanakh already.

And they say, well, how could the Brit Kadashah or the New Testament say it's been fulfilled over here when we already know it's been fulfilled over here? Right. So we'll see those examples today.

Right. That's why I say last days is things are happening certain ages. Right.

Same principles happening with all all the scriptures and the prophets. The prophets are prophesied sometimes. of their day and of the future.

So we're going to see how this works. All right. So any questions up to this point, Ken? I couldn't hear you. I really couldn't hear you.

So you're saying that this particular prophecy is not 100% specific to Hamashiach, even though it is, he is within this prophecy, but it is all those who fall within his seed as well. also have that. Right. We'll see how this goes going forward.

So what does prophecy mean? The word for prophecy is Nabua or Nabiah, right? These are two ways of saying the word prophecy and even Nabi, which is somewhat of the root sentence, noun form Nabi. But the point is, what does prophecy mean?

Can someone tell me what that means? I know you guys done some real good research and you just want to say, hey, I've read that before. Something that has not happened yet or something that is foretold. Something that has not happened yet or something that is foretold.

OK, anyone else? A prediction. Prediction. OK, prediction. Anything else?

Something that's going to happen in the future. I think y'all are saying the same thing in different ways you like. Okay. Thanks, Tom. Okay.

Got to raise your hand. Okay. Maury, do you have something?

Prophecy also could be for direction. Foresight also for correction. Okay. All right. I was going to say.

It's basically the will of the Most High, Yah, what he has determined. OK, so let's look at some definitions here. OK, so Nabi, meaning the root of the verb of it. Now, this is in Ugaritic, Arcadian.

All of them have it meaning name or to something to call, to call out something. All right. So it means prophetic utterance.

OK, a prophetic utterance. All right, Bible sense, look at it, it says prophecy in and out, a prophetic utterance with a focus on the whole of the content. OK, then prophecy records.

Now it says a written record of a prophet, a prophetic utterance with a focus on the whole of the content. So a prophetic utterance and there's a written one. Right. So the point becomes is you're going to notice that these utterances is going to be something that he can be talking about at that time.

It's also something he can talk about that time, but it's also going to be in the content. You can see it in the future. So you're going to see parallels of the same thing happening in different centuries. Does that make sense?

Like you say, OK, I'll give you one. Daniel talks about Daniel chapter 9, maybe starting about verse 25, talks about going down, if you read that, the abomination of desolation. Everyone familiar with that, right?

So the abomination of desolation, Daniel prophesies about this question. When did that abomination of desolation take place? Okay, so during the Maccabean period, you read about the abomination of desolation. But you also read about it in 70 CE.

So was Daniel talking about 70 CE, or was he talking about the Maccabean period? My point is that you'll see that these cycles and those destructions happen at the same year. You know, both temples, if you will.

But at any rate, my point is that you'll see that it did happen in the future in one spot. And then it happened again later in 70 CE. All right?

So everyone understands what I'm saying. When he prophesied, when the Father gave you something, the Father can give you something that could be of the future, but he also can give you something that's cyclical. It's not only going to happen there, it's going to happen again, it's going to happen again, and we're going to see an example of that in Leviticus, or Acre, chapter 26. All right, so everyone's good up to this point?

All right. So I said prophecy is not limited to a one-time event. It can repeat until it reaches its fullness.

There are multiple prophecies that were only partially fulfilled. A prophet can prophesy of what will happen in their day and in the future. Okay. All right. Yirmiyahu.

Here's some examples of one. And then I got one that... I think you guys might catch.

All right, so how to understand some prophecy in the B'rit Hadashah. So Yom Yahuwah 315 says, Thus saith Yahuwah, a voice was heard in Ramah, lamentations and bitter weeping, Rachel, weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith Yahuwah, reframe your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears. For your works, your work shall be rewarded, sayeth Yehuah, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. Now, question is, how and why is Raquel weeping?

You said you need to speak in the mic? I was just speaking. I was just saying Raquel wasn't even alive, so he's got to be speaking figurative Raquel.

Okay, so you say Raquel is dead. So how can she be weeping? Anyone?

Her children are weeping. Prophetically? Okay, so in this situation here, why is this weeping happening anyway? Obviously, there's a captivity happening. The kids have been, the children have been driven off the land.

Okay. So, but why Raquel then? Oh, it was Yosef's. Huh?

It's Yosef's kids. You know, he's the one, you know, that has the name, bears the name. His children bears the name. Okay.

Of Israel. Okay, so, but Raquel, Raquel, who's her children? And Yosef. Yosef. Okay.

All right. Okay, let's read something really fast. Yirmiyahu 40 verse 1 says, The word that came to Yirmiyahu from Yahuwah, after that Nebuzar Ma'ad, the other guy there, the captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah.

When he had taken him, being bound in chains among all that were carried away, captive of Yerushalayim and Yehudah, which were carried away captive into Babylon, right? Ramah was the place where Yehudah was taken in captivity in the land of Benjamin, okay? In Benjamin, in Benjamin.

So, but it's saying Raquel is weeping. So how does that work? Right, so it's her children, technically, if you're following this here, it's technically her children are weeping, and this thing is happening in the land of Benjamin. Okay, is everyone with me so far?

Right, right, right, it's in that territory. All right, so now Matthew's. So 18 says, and Rama was there, voice heard, lamentations and weeping, a great morning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they are not.

Okay, so I put mirrored event. So the reason I'm putting mirrored event for right now, we're not really going into Matthews and how that works. I'm simply stating that there is a mirroring effect that's happening in this time that happened in the time of Yirmiyahu's prophecy. No?

Everyone can hear me, right? Everyone can hear me, right? Okay.

It sounds like the mic went off. I'm right here. Huh?

Yes, we can hear you. Okay. All right. So, as we see, there's going to be a mirroring effect, or there was a mirroring effect that happened during the time.

Have you guys know the story of Herod and the babies and the killing? Okay. So there is a mirroring that took place.

And this is why they were using that, not to say that the writer of Matthew is saying that this is the fulfillment of Yirmeyahu as though nothing else ever happened in his day. Why? Because you know that they didn't even have Matthew's revelation at this time.

They had the Tanakh. They knew exactly what the writing said and what happened in these days. But we start seeing cycles of the same thing.

This is a fulfillment. This is fulfilled. Right. But not to say that it's doing away with the other. fulfillments.

Is everyone with me so far? Okay, we'll see more of that in a minute. So in scripture, there are cycles or events that repeat itself in different centuries.

Nothing new under the sun. When these events come again, the view is as a fulfillment of prophecy that happened in their day. They are not stating that the event did not happen in the time of the Tanakh.

All they had was the Tanakh. It's about the application of the event, okay? So we're going to go through an exodus, if you will, right? There was an exodus that took place for the other tribe, for the northern tribe, the southern tribe.

So my point is, these things are cycles that's going to keep happening over and over again, but it's building to something, and this is what we're going to see. All right, so... Some ways to understand prophecy. So what is the main number that is considered a prophetic number? Seven, right?

Okay, so now the number seven, yes, there are more numbers, 340. We're not going to talk about those numbers, right? But my point is we can glean from the numbers. What can we glean from the seven? I'm just giving it to you. So seven days of creation, right?

Seven feast days are aligned to the cyclical cycles of seven. First, in the last seven feast days, which means that unleavened bread, you got seven days of unleavened bread. The last, or the seventh month, which is tabernacle, Sukkot, you have seven days. So this cycle of seven is for a reason.

So I want you to see in the feast days and in the weekly Shabbat, there's a number of seven, right? Seven days, Yahuwah caused the rain in the days of Noach. If you remember the story, he told them in seven days, this is going to take place.

Did this happen in the Jubilee cycle? Absolutely. But we're not talking about that today. And then Noah stays in the ark and sends forth a dove. Seven days.

You guys remember that, right? All right. The seven lambs as a witness for Abraham.

the priests sprinkled blood seven times you know everyone's familiar with that great um washed seven times in the yardane do i remember that with uh elisha he tell him hey go in there and okay and then miriam spent seven days outside the camp right uh righteous man may fall seven times all right listen what does that mean first What does that mean? Anyone, it's okay. I know some of y'all don't think they can fall.

a righteous man can fall right he can all all and not saying women won't but mankind in general i'm saying is we all can fall short being righteous but we can make mistakes we can fall but we have to keep getting up pent and doing everyone with me so far hallelujah all right um yacob served seven years for raquel and for leah everyone remember that right it was like nothing to him She was so, it was like, man, when he got Leah, seven years? No, he didn't say that. All right.

The dreams of Yosef having seven cows, seven abominations of Yahuwah, mission of Proverbs 6.16. The list goes on. There's about 40 cycles, but I wasn't going to put all 40 on here.

All right. Revelations 120, the mysteries of the seven stars, which are, which you saw in the right hand and the seven golden. menorahs are candlesticks, the seven stars are the malakim of the seven assemblies, and the seven menorahs, the candlesticks which you saw, are the seven assemblies. Now, again, there's a prophecy in these cycles of seven, right? There's prophecies in it.

There's appointed times, and when some of these events, or majority of these events, that's in the day of Yahuwah, if his day is feast days, if his day is Shabbat, then judgment and other things are going to be happening. on the day that he has appointed, right? Is everyone with me so far?

Everyone's good for this part? Okay, good. So when it comes to end time prophecy, I want to show these cycles pointing to prophecies and prophetic cycles.

Most main events fall on the day of Yahuwah. This includes things happening to his people and those who are not. The day of Yahuwah will be a day of judgment.

So you I'll give just a little example. Leviticus 26 18 says, and if you will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. Then he says, and if you will walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

There's something about this seven and the punishment that's going to take place. And these punishments happen to be happening on feast days or his day. Okay, when I say his day, like Yom Shabbat.

Okay, keep that in mind. Then you go to Matthew 18, 21. Then came Kepha to him and said, Adonai, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him till seven times? And then he says.

Yahushua says unto him, I say unto you until seven times, but until 70 times seven, right? So I said, so when you put feast days, judgments, Shabbat day of rest, forgiveness, and other days, events together, they all make up the day of Yahuwah. Cycles are to help us see his plan of salvation and redemption. Each fulfillment of prophecy is a time drawing closer to his final day.

Every age is linked to a Jubilee. These are also linked to events or repeated events. OK, so again, right now, this is just I'm just really highlighting this here.

But when we maybe do maybe just a series on Jubilees, then we'll add how that works and go over some of these events. I don't know. We're going to be able to do that.

I think that's not going to happen no time soon. All right. That's on the wish list. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. So here's some here's something I want you guys to see.

Here's another example. After six days, Yosha takes Kepha, Yaakov and Yochanan, his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart and was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Musheh Moses and Eliyahu.

talking with him. What do you get out of that? We read this a lot of times, I'm sure, right? What did we get out of this here? Absolutely nothing, huh?

I understand. Well, let's see what we can get. Okay, it's okay. Well, let's just look.

I'm glad we were able to talk about it today. After the sixth day, there was a transfiguration. Okay, this was a small picture of what's to come.

Musha was a picture of someone who died and was resurrected. Eliyahu was a picture of those that have not died at his coming. Okay? So now, if you think about what's happening here, if the 6,000, which we're going to talk about in a minute, if you think about a 6,000-year reign and then a 7,000-year millennial reign, it aligns itself to six days you work, seventh day is a Shabbat of rest.

And that millennial reign is on that. 7,000th year, which means there's a rest. There's going to be a transfiguration.

So here's a picture, just a small picture of how that would look. Okay. Is everyone with me so far?

Is there anything else you might see in here? Okay. Well, that's when they transfigure on that seventh day. Sure.

Anything else? That's it. Awesome. Mujah and Eliyahu represents the law and the prophets. I mean, that's originally that every time you think about them together, it's just the law and the prophets.

I never thought of them as being. I never saw. of Musha as being the representation of one who died and was resurrected or Eliyahu as one who has not died. OK.

So next, what prophet is the last book of the Tanakh? What was what's that prophet traditionally? And then Tanakh, the last one. Malachi.

Okay, Malachi. And this is what Malachi says. Remember you the law of Moshe and Moses, my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb, for all Israel with statutes and judgment. Behold, I will send you Elijah. the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahuwah.

And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. These I come and smite the earth with a curse. So the very last prophet is showing you Moses and the prophet again.

See that. So and then it's telling you that use this on. Now, this is the last in the canon, if you will. So when it carries over here, you got someone is coming in the. in the spirit of Eliyahu or Elijah.

And he's pointing to the Mashiach. And the Mashiach is teaching about the laws and the prophets and saying, it's speaking of me, right? So this carries over into saying, this should be a continuation of understanding going forward.

Not how traditional Christianity or Christendom is today, where all that's been washed. We don't have to do that no more. First century, second century, third century, I think all the way to maybe the fifth or sixth century, they still believed in keeping law, statutes, and commandments. and belief in the Mashiach. Okay.

All right. So everyone's good so far. All right. So just a little fast. I said, can you see the law, Moshe and the prophets, Eliyahu, speaking of his word?

All right. Let's go. Keep going. Exodus 24, 16 says, and the Kabbalah, the esteem of Yehua abode upon Mount Sinai and the cloud covered it. How many?

Six days. And the seventh day he called unto Moshe Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Will this be a future pattern? In the thousand year reign will be a gathered, be gathered to Mount Zion? Question.

Is this prophetic? So now my first point here is just to say, notice the six days. And then on seventh day, he takes Moses up into the mountain. So is there a time where we're going to meet the Mashiach at Mount Zion or Mount Zion, right? And in that day, what day would that be?

If we use the pattern of what we're seeing, right? Because we're going to get rest, right? All right. So more on this in the future. Shemot 21.1 says, Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them.

If you buy a Hebrew servant six years, he shall serve in... and the seventh, he shall go out free for nothing, right? The feast day, the feast of Jubilees are also set in this manner, even the sabbatical years as well, right? Let your servants go free, all right? So there's a cycle that we need to see about these sevens that we'll see, we'll talk about in the future.

Isaiah 61 says, The spirit of Yahuwah denies upon me because Yahuwah has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. And he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and opening of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of Yahuwah and the day of vengeance of our Elohim to comfort all that mourn. Now, mind you, this here is a set time.

Of course, you can read this in Luke chapter 4, 18 and 7, 22 about the Meshach reading this hearing in the ear because it was set at a certain time. All right. The acceptable year. Right.

Keep that in mind. Three says to appoint unto them that mourn in Sion to give unto them beauty for ashes and oil of joy. So right now, the oil of joy that we have is just a small token of what's going to happen in the future. OK, for mourning the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

that they might be called trees of righteousness planted of Yahuwah, that he might be esteemed. All right. Everyone starting to see these cycles so far? Okay. So that's the cycles of seven.

We're only going to briefly talk about this here, which is, but beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing that one day is with Yahuwah as... a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, right? And you can see Psalms, Tehillim 84, technically Mismore 84, 10 and 90 verse 4. Who was the oldest that ever lived on the earth?

Methuselah, everyone agrees? All right, so he says he's 969 years old, right? My name is Bereshit or Genesis 527. Adam lived 930. You can find that in Bereshit Genesis 5.5. But think about this here. He says, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it.

In it the day that you eat, thereof you shall surely die, right? So now, no one lived to be a thousand years old, okay? Not one day in Yah's eyes, right?

So no one lived the day, his day, on this earth. with Yahuwah, okay? But I put, we will in the thousand-year reign of Mashiach. So I'm saying, think about the garden.

Things are going to always be pointing back to the garden, okay? All right. Revelations 20, verse 4 says, And I saw the thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua. And for the word of Elohim.

Wait a minute. Even for the word of... What word are they talking about? So we saw the Mashiach, but the word of Elohim too? So that must mean...

And if the word of Elohim is the Tanakh, that means it must still stand. Anyway. Okay. And which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands.

And they lived and reigned with Mashiach a thousand years, but the rest of the dead lived not again until a thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Doe, you had something?

He might have hit it by accident. He might have bumped it by accident. All right. So everyone's with me so far. No problems.

All right, so when you add up the days from the time of Adam, you should come up to about 6,000 years. Anyone? Right, right. From Adam to now, you should be in our 6,000 years right now. Huh?

No, we're both. The 7,000 year is understood to be the seventh day. This can be seen as a timeline linked to the seven days of creation.

Now, I said these are cycles of a thousand that we read early, which we just went over really fast. But I am simplifying this slide into cycles of 2000. All right. So now in between these cycles, we must have the cycles of seven.

The Jubilee cycles will help with this in future series. Whenever that series would be, I'm not going to give you a time. It could be 2040. All right. Adam was created about 4000 years before Mashiach.

OK. 4,000 years before Mashiach. Are you with me so far? All right. Before Mashiach was created in the womb of Miriam. From Adam.

To Abraham, it was 2,000 years, okay? From Abraham to Yahushua is 2,000 years, all right? So we are 2,000 years, meaning today, Akshav, now, we are 2,000 years from the time of Yahushua the Mashiach, right?

Hence, we have today, we're 2020, as it says today, as it commonly called. So I want you to see these 2,000s in this manner so far. All right, so... Mashiach's birth, death, and resurrection. This will be important if you understand the events of that time and today's time.

So I put more in the future. And again, this future is going to be so far away. I decided just to give you some highlights because you might want to just go ahead and get started studying on your own.

So knowledge increased during that time of the Mashiach. Knowledge increased 2,000 years later. Awakening of his people, he woken up those that were asleep, if you will.

He's waking his people up now. That's asleep. OK, the pouring out of the Ruach 2000 years, pouring out of Ruach now.

Does everyone understand what's happening? All right. So I said each 2000 year cycle cycles repeated itself with his people. If we was a breakdown in every 2000 years, it was happening the same time within that cycles.

OK, is everyone with me so far? Everyone understands. All right. So, OK, so.

So that's why I make sure that if you really want to study this out, you can look at what happened in Abraham. He got a covenant. This happens. Something's happening here.

And then what else happened? You know, what did he do? Did he keep the law, statutes and commandments?

This is what it says in Bereshit, chapter 26, verse five. OK, great. As you go down to a thousand years later, what happened? Two thousand years after that, what happened? Right.

So that'd be a great, awesome study for you guys to do on your time. Hallelujah. Now, the word fulfillment, once more, male, be full, to feel fullness, that which feels fulfilled, completed.

This word is used throughout scripture to show age or ages, being fulfilled, but also cycles of fulfillment. When you read fulfilled, it says in, let's say, in the B'ri Kadashah, they are showing another fulfillment in their age. They are not discounting things that were already fulfilled or partially fulfilled. Does everyone see that, right?

So just because you read something in Matthews, Mark, Luke, or John, and it fulfilled this, you say, okay, so that's when it got fulfilled. No other time was it ever fulfilled in the Tanakh. That's not what it's saying, all right? All right.

What is the point of suffering? I know it sprung up on you guys. I think we need to suffer a little bit more so we can get the point.

They may not understand what suffering does for. No? Okay, no problem. Well, let's read about something. Hebrews 2.9 says, But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than Malakim, for the suffering of death, crowned with esteem and honor, that he, by the favor of Eloah, should taste death for every man.

Now, in the Targums, it has, you know, and you made him a little less than Malakim and you crown him with esteem and brightness. King James has you have made him a little lower than Malakim and crown him with esteem and honor, chabad and honor. OK, now 10 says, for it became him for whom all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto esteem to make the captain of their salvation.

Perfect through. suffering. Now, how does that work? No one's been through suffering here?

No, I mean, if you haven't, then wow, man, I really need to talk to you guys. Like, how did you get there? All right. Okay.

He's on his way. Most of my suffering came from my own. disobedience.

From your own disobedience? The Father's word. And that's a place where if we continue to pray, what I did, I kept praying, asking for forgiveness.

And asked that he let the Ruach and as Yahushua, I just need a little more strength. Where can I get it? Through the scriptures.

Okay? Okay. All right. So just keep in mind salvation.

Perfect through suffering. Keep that in mind. Hebrews 5a says, though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.

OK, see how you might go through something, learn obedience through the suffering, if you will, and being made perfect. He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him. So perfection or maturity can come by two things. obedience and suffering.

I want to interject there. When we think of suffering, I think a lot of times Agony and pain. Yeah, but this suffering is endurance. The things he endured. And if we endure with obedience, we can make our salvation perfect.

But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age. Even those who, by reason of you, have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. So for you guys in the future, I would like to look up the term for suffering and look up discerning both good and evil. Now, we've already went over a little bit of that already, if you guys remember.

But if you haven't, by all means, it will be a good study for you guys. Suffering sometimes is designed to make you mature, a form of chastisement. It is to push you to obedience, to help you learn, also to be an example for others that may go through. Sometimes you don't know why you're going through. It doesn't even make any sense.

But then later on in life, you realize someone else is going through something that might you want to lose their life. You can say, hold on. I was there. Let me tell you how I got out of it.

Let me share it. Let me talk to you. Things like that.

OK, so you don't never know. Now, it's a well, why would he do that to me? Because some of us, you know, we're just too good for that.

So why would he do that to me? And then you got this. Then you read about somebody that was blinded.

And he said he was blinded for this hour, for this moment. Why would he do that? Right. So, again, you don't know what the reason might be.

All right. Hebrews 7, 19 says, for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of the better hope did by which he draw nigh unto Eloah. So. Here's your word for perfect, teleo, right?

Means complete or perfect. Another meaning is final step, supreme stage, crown, goal, maturity, result, conclusion, end, session. Verbally meaning in finally or fully or totally. Now, the law makes nothing perfect.

What do you mean the law makes nothing perfect? How does that work? The law makes nothing perfect. Why not?

Is this the first time you've ever seen Hebrews 7.19? It's the very first time, my king. Oh, wow.

Okay. I'm glad we're talking about it today. Yep. This is actually, yeah, it's in the canon.

I was going to say, the law doesn't make it perfect because, honestly, it's like, it's the instruction. It's why you're learning. I was actually, yeah, it's in the canon.

I was going to say, the law doesn't make it perfect because... She had to turn her mic down so we can hear. It's during the time where you're still learning.

So it's just like in school, okay? You haven't reached that point of full understanding. So you are not really where you need to be, in other words.

Okay. All right. Someone else had something? All right.

So here's the deal. It says the law makes nothing perfect. In other words, it doesn't make you a certain way. You have to make a decision.

I don't know if you can hear me, Maury, but the law makes nothing perfect. In other words, she has to turn her mic down because she's getting feedback. We're not going to be able to hear her.

Okay. So when you think about what the law does, it's instructions. right everyone understands it instructs you there's still another part to that instruction that you have to do which we'll talk about in a minute so it's not going to make you perfect okay i kept the shabbat next and i'll keep the shabbat again next and i kept the feast days every time i didn't have my heart in it i wasn't happy i just did it because he told me to do it letter of the law that's what it's about anything else it's not designed for that so when i'm in the throne i said father yes i did i kept every Shabbat that you told me.

And he said, well, let me just show you your heart. Well, it doesn't matter. I kept your law, right? That's what it's talking about, right?

So we'll see that in a minute. So 9a says, the Kodesh Ruach, or set-apart spirit, this signifying that the way into this set-apart of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing, which was a figure of for the time then present, in which were offered both gift and sacrifice. that could not make him that did service perfect as pertaining to the conscience.

Even sacrificing. So in other words, not just the law, but, oh, okay, I'm about to go do it. I'm going to sin willfully, or I'm going to do this, and all I need to go get me a bull or a goat and sacrifice, I should be fine.

There's something wrong with your heart. If you're not going to do the law, or if at the time of sacrifice, you're just doing it because you just know that all you need to do is a sacrifice, you have a problem. All right, 10-1 says, for the law having a shadow of good things to come. So is the law good? Is it perfect?

Yes. So the law itself is perfect, and it is good, and it is spiritual, but you are the problem. So we have to fix you.

It's designed to help you, right? That way you can get that better hope. Anyway, so it says, For law is a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never, with those sacrifices which they offer year by year, continually make the comers their unto perfect. Matthew 5.48 says, Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father, which is in heaven.

We can't be perfect. No one is able to be perfect, right? He's lying to you. Huh? No one's.

Have you got heard that before, though? But of course, we understand it from King James, not King James, but a Webster's dictionary or some type of dictionary that defying that word perfect versus the Hebrew word Tamim. Right. All right. So we'll see in a minute what what.

Well, you got the definition of tough, which means mature and things like that. But anyway, we'll see some more. Acts 222, verse three says, I am verily a man which am. a Yehudah, born of Tarsus, a city of Sicilia, yet brought up in the city at the feet of Gamliel, and he taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the father, and was zealous towards Eloah, as you all are this day.

So yes, being taught according to the perfect manner of the law, he said, well, of the fathers, but it says, and was zealous towards Elohim and the Father as well, right? So we're going to see that there has to be a connection there. Romans 12, 2 says, and be not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing where? Okay. So the law can tell you everything you want it to do, but you have to get your mind right.

You got to change your mind in order for this to work. Okay. So the renewing of your mind that you may prove that which is good. What was considered good?

The law is good. Okay, now you can prove it's good and acceptable. And is the law perfect? Okay, and perfect. And that is what?

That is the will of the law. That is the will of Yahuwah. Okay, 1 Corinthians 2, 6 says, how be it we speak wisdom among them that are that are perfect, right?

Telios means someone that's mature or someone that is focused. How come we're not focused? Okay, I'm mature.

Okay, let's just say you are. Are you focused in your maturity? If you're not, then you're going to have a problem, right? So be focused, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor the prince of this world that comes to naught.

2 Corinthians 7.1, having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from some filthiness. Oh, I'm sorry. All filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting set apart in the fear of the law. Now, if you think about this here, if you ask yourself, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness.

What filthiness do you guys, what filthiness do you think he's talking about? I'm not, let's just say lust of the flesh. We got that.

How about some other things? That hatred, that bitterness I got in my heart, that disdain for other people, lack of love, trust, trust issues, all kinds. Yeah.

Idols. Oh, kind of idols you're talking about. My car, my house, my children, my wife, all kinds of stuff.

Yeah. Okay. So. Don't mind this.

OK, so I want to be very clear that if you want to also know some some fast ways of finding filthiness, everyone know the fruit of the spirit, right? The opposite of all those fruits. Just do the opposite of all those fruits.

You got a soul. You're good to go. Right. The opposite of all the fruits. You should be in business.

All right. That's like that. Just keep that in mind.

2 Timothy 3.16 says, All scripture is given by inspiration of the law and is proper for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. So in other words, this is what the law, this is what its instructions can do. It can give you the reproof. It can give you the correction, the instructions to righteousness.

It gives you everything that you need, but you have to make a decision, not just knowing what the word says or what the law says, but you have to actually apply it in your life. There has to be some works in there. Faith without works is dead.

All right. James 1.25 says, But whoso look into the perfect law of liberty. Wait a minute. The law gives you liberty?

When does it not give you liberty? When does it not give you? When you're fighting the thing you want to do.

And you feel the laws hindering you from doing what you, your soul wants to do. And I'm not talking about no one in here. I'll give you an example like crabs, lobsters. So let's suppose you want, I mean, is that, we remember last week I said, is that going to stop me from getting into the kingdom?

Because I ate some shrimp. You mean to tell me, man, listen, I like to put some butter on that thing, eat that puppy. I just ask for forgiveness after I get done.

That ain't nothing. He's not going to let me stop because I had some shrimp. OK, now keep on eating.

We'll see. I want you to keep in mind because some people, you know, have a different understanding what liberty is. Liberty, everything the father giving law is good for you.

The thing that's not good for you when you do it all of a sudden. Oh, my gosh, I got this illness. Oh, I got this happened to me. Oh, I got worms coming out my tail. And you say, well, what happened?

What? Yeah, well, y'all didn't ever had that? Ain't nobody had that? Oh, okay. Huh?

Okay. So just think about it now. When you start eating those nasty foods, when you start eating those nasty foods, your body's telling on you.

You can smell it, you know, whether your friends, families around or not, it's there. All right. We'll keep going.

Hebrews 6, 1 says, therefore, leaving the principle of the doctrine of Mashiach. So what is that? Let us go on to where? Okay. All right.

So we got the understanding with the doctrine of Mashiach, right? Not laying of hands again, foundation of repentance, of dead works, and the faith towards Elohim. We got all that, right?

Of the doctrine of immersion and laying of hands and the resurrection of the dead. These are all milk things. Now it's time to mature. It's time to move on to perfection, right? And that perfection is going to require some changing of your mind, a renewing of your mind, a renewing of your heart.

Okay. Is everyone good so far? All right. So remember the perfect will of Yahuwah. Now let's look at it in the book of Kings.

First Kings 861 says, let your heart therefore be perfect. What's the word for perfect here? Shalem. Shalem. Right.

Shalem. To be complete, sound, to be true, to be whole with Yahuwah Elohim, to walk in his statutes and keep his commandments as it. as at this day.

First Chronicles 29 says, for you, Shlomo, my son, know you, you that Elohei, our father, and severe him with a perfect heart, hence a perfect heart with the will. The word for will is? hafiz okay hafiz right take delight it means or to be pleasant to have a desire so i he wants you with this perfect heart with a willing or a delight for a pleasurable way right it says your mind mind is the word nefesh right Refresh oneself. Okay? Refresh oneself.

Your mind needs to have a refreshing, right? So, but also notice that your mind does have an appetite. It wants everything.

What about this? What about that? How about this?

What do you think about this? Why are you doing that? Right?

All right. That's your soul. Got 50 billion questions, right?

Anyway, for Yahuwah searches all hearts and understanding. And it says, all the imagination of the thoughts. If you seek him. He will be found of you.

But if you forsake him, he will cast you far off forever. Of course, you know, these two here. I delight to do your will. O my Ali. Yea, your law is within my heart.

So when it's within your heart, that means it's within your your labor, your heart, your mind, your thought. You constantly thinking about his word and how you can please him. Matthew 7.21 says, Not everyone that is sent to me, Adonai, Adonai, shall enter through the kingdom of heaven, or Shemayim, but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mark 3.35, For whosoever shall do the will of Yehua, the same is my brother and my sister and my mother. Right? So, the will of Yehua.

That's how you're going to know them, by their fruits. Okay? 1 John 2.17 says, For the world passes away.

and the luster of. But he that does the will of the Lord abides forever. Okay. All right.

Something must tell you his will, make you complete, whole, and sound. It must be perfect, right? So this is how you get to the perfect will of Yahuwah.

Something has to tell you how to do that. that's what his law that's what his commandments are for it's telling you how to do that and once it tells you how to do it then the next part is decision time decision time is will i be willing to do this or not i like that father no i don't like that now that makes sense but can i do it this way can we negotiate your law statutes and commandments oh yeah you know uh i'm not ready yet but i do love you oh yeah you We don't have those moments. Be patient with me. Still working on me.

All right. So keep that in mind. All right. So the book of Hebrews, back to the book of Hebrews 8.8. Listen to what it says.

And then I got some things for you guys and then we'll close. This is for finding fault with them. He says, Behold, the days are coming, saith Yahuwah, when I will make a new or renewed covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Yehudah.

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the days that I took them out by the hand and led them out of the land of Mitzrayim or Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahuwah. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. Israel, after those days, saith Yahuwah, I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts. and I will be to them an Elohim, and they shall be to me a people.

Now, of course, we see this repeat here in Jeremiah 31, 31. But before we talk about that, notice that it's still saying the days are coming. It hasn't. So someone said it already came.

It says the days are still coming. And in this coming, what's supposed to happen? The law is going to be in their minds, written on their hearts, right? And then he will be their Elohim.

So in order for me to do that, you need to be doing these things. Okay? Now, Yom Yahuwah 31, 31. It's just a repeat. Behold, the days are coming. Sayeth Yehudah, I will make a new or renewed covenant with the house of Israel or Yashroel and with the house of Yehudah.

Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the days that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitzrayim, which my covenant they break. Although I was a husband unto them. Sayeth Yehudah.

this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days. I will put my laws in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their Elohim and they shall be my people. So, again, it's showing that there's a continuation.

There's still a fulfillment that still has to take place. Is everyone with me so far? All right.

So now I put why did Israel go into captivity according to Yirmiyahu? OK. So we just read in Yom Ha'Achad 31 and the book of Hebrews chapter 8 that the days are coming and that he will put his law in our inward parts. But let's read just before chapter 31 and see when this would take place.

So Yom Ha'Achad 30, 24 says the fierce anger of Yahuwah shall not return until he has done it and until he has performed the intent of his heart. When? In the latter days. you shall understand it. That's when it's going to happen.

So put it together with Hebrews 9.26, for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world, but now once in the end of the world or the cosmos has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. So in line with the end time prophecy or tone of Hebrews 9.26, Yirmiyahu's prophecy was also one that was linked to latter days happening. You read that in Yirmiyahu 30.24, in the latter days. With Yirmiyahu 31-31, days are coming.

Yirmiyahu 31-33, after those days. Yirmiyahu 30-24 says that Israel, in the latter days, will understand. So this is the time that we will understand in these last days. What is the intent of Elohim's heart?

In expressing His fierce anger against them, Elohim will put His law within them and on their heart, which is based on Him forgiving their iniquity. That is, Israel would understand that the consequences of Elohim's judgment of them is not merely to punish, but ultimately that forgiveness would be extended to them. OK, so it's an ongoing prophecy.

And you're going to see these cycles happening over and over again until it's being fulfilled. And I don't know if I put on this slide or not, because some stuff I took off. So I'll just tell you that it's like birth pains.

these cycles, as they keep coming, they get stronger and stronger. So you start to recognize it because you've read it before, these things written for us for our, right? And then not only that, but reading it, we're actually walking it out.

Just like they walked it out, we're walking it out. And we're starting to feel like some of the things that they went through. So these birth pains are going to start to get stronger and stronger until ultimately, you know, he comes. All right.

So Hebrews, the taste, no taste in C. Hebrews 6, 4 says, for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Chodesh Ruach and have tasted the good word of Eluah and the powers of the world to come. So the followers of Yahushua had tasted the powers, as we went over earlier, of the age to come. You see that in verse 5, among which is the heavenly gift.

which is the Kodesh Ruach, which you just read in verse 4. So this is one of the closest passages that comes to identifying the Kodesh Ruach as a mark of the unbreaking eschological age. Is anyone with me so far? All right, so Romans 8.23 says, and not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Ruach, keep that in mind, even we ourselves grown within ourselves.

waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 2 Corinthians 1.21.22 says, Now how which established us with you in Mashiach and has anointed us in Eluah, who has also sealed us and given the earnest of the Ruach in our hearts. Ephesians 1.13 says, In whom you also trusted. After that you heard the word of the truth. the besorah, the good news of your salvation, in whom also after that you believe you were sealed with the Kaddish Ruach of promise, Ephesians 4 30, and grieve not the Kaddish Ruach of Eloah, whereby you are sealed until the day of redemption.

Okay, so from the top, tasting of the heavenly gift. So what's the heavenly gift? The Ruach.

The Ruach is the heavenly gift. Is everyone with me so far? And then also tasting the good word of Elohim.

You got to have both. Right. So then you see. OK, now I'm going to share with you a little bit more about this. The question, though, is what does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach?

You guys read that before, too, right? OK. Hallelujah.

So I know I'll get a lot of answers. Okay. What does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach?

We just read it. What does it mean to have the first fruits of the Ruach? No? The fruits of the Spirit.

Fruits of the Spirit. Okay. So let's define something first.

The word first fruit. Notice what the word means, apache, which means to rule, to begin, in the Septuagint or the LXX, usually a sense of a temporal beginning. First fruit, right? First fruits.

First fruits, okay? First fruits. Now, we don't have the fullness of the Ruach, okay?

We have the first fruits, the beginning phase or phases, if you will. We were not given the Spirit without measure. So what has been given to us are the following.

Now, giving you 12, fruit of the Ruach, right? Fruit of the Spirit. The Ruach is a gift that gives gifts, okay? The Ruach or the Spirit helps guide us, helps us grow and mature, okay? The Ruach or the Spirit gives us peace.

gentleness, mercy, and willingness. The rock helps us overcome our sinful nature and helps us to resist and overcome shaitan. The rock of the spirit is our down payment for eternal life.

Our vessel is built together for inhabitation of the Lord through his rock or through his spirit. The rock gives wisdom and power. The rock is a seal. The Ruach of the Spirit regenerates and renews.

The Ruach of the Spirit purifies. And number 12, the Ruach, the Spirit helps us understand the thoughts of Yahuwah. Now, mind you, all these things that the Spirit does, with all of this in mind, it is only the first fruits of the Ruach.

There's so much more the Ruach can do, meaning resurrection, meaning transfer. transferring you from one state to another state, meaning there's a lot more that the spirit can do. But just so you know, we are at a stage with this spirit, right? And this was just the gift.

This gift is going to become really abundant at the last day when you're going to see how the spirit really works inside of us. All right.
