there are a lot of people in the world who are confused but I would not like for you to be one of them there are people who pray to the universe and they think that the universe is God thinking that the universe is God is kind of like thinking that a Tesla is Elon Musk the universe is not God God is the creator of the universe and on this video I'm going to show you how God's word is God's wand or Abracadabra watch God pull a universe out of nothing in Genesis 1:1 it says in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth in John 1 by the way that's the English version in case y'all were wondering what language that was in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth in John chapter 1 verses 1-4 it says in the beginning was the word and the white word word there is capitalized in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him him who him the word and without him was not anything made that was made in him was the life and the life was the light of men over in Hebrews 11: 1-3 it says for by faith uh um now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen for by it that is by faith the elders obtained a good report be and then it says in verse three by faith we understand like I I I don't even know if I'm ready to go any further it didn't say by understanding we have faith and a lot of people erroneously believe that as as soon as I understand I will believe but God says that's not how I set it up because the spirit is supposed to be super over the mind and the mind supposed to be over the body so as soon as you have faith then you will be able to understand and so it says uh for by faith uh um we understand that the worlds that's world's plural were framed by the word of God and that's interesting that it doesn't say that the world was framed but it says the worlds were framed which makes me ask the question what worlds are we speaking of and all I have to really do is keep on reading to understand what's being said by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen that's one world we're not made of the things which do appear That's the other world so by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God and so when we see uh in John 1 it says in the beginning was the word and the Word was God and the Word was with God and the same was in the beginning with God and all things were made by him and in Genesis 1:1 in English it says in the beginning God created heaven and earth we can see that God created everything and the scripture clearly says that God created everything out of nothing we struggle with comprehending that because we are finite and we're finite in time space and matter we're finite in time we have a clear beginning and a clear end we're finite in space we can only physically be in one place at a time and we are finite as matter we're only going to live in this fleshly body for X number of years and then we're gone so we are finite so attempting to like believing that there's that it's possible for a human being to fully comprehend the Infinity of God would be it would be easier for me to put the Pacific Ocean in this cup than it would be for me to fully comprehend God so the objective of this this this Bible study is not even to get us to fully comprehend God but to better appreciate and believe in who he is and how he operates and so so in Hebrew every Hebrew letter is also a number but every Hebrew letter also has a definition so in like in English a is just the letter A it's not a number it doesn't have meaning like if I spell c a t and that spells cat the letters in the word cat give me absolutely no indication whatsoever to what a cat is right in um Eastern languages like Chinese for instance if a cat the word for cat would be a symbol and it would be a picture that represents a cat but there's nothing in the letters that would show you what the word sounds like but in Hebrew the letters are both phonetic they have sounds they are um symbolic they have meaning and they are destructive they are actually components with which the from which the universe is built which is kind of mind-blowing and so um there's a word that a magician says when he gets ready to pull a rabbit out of his hat I should have brought my cowboy hat I wish I have thought of that because that's the biggest hat I have um but but but but but a a magician he W like magicians always do this which is so cool that's such a cool thing to do just and it makes you wonder what are they going to do next and so I'm not going to do anything next so I just did that to show you what magicians do but but then they they they take their hat they wave their magic wand and they said watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat well yeah that's cool so they pull a rabbit out oh it's a rabbit yay right but God started with nothing he existed of himself with himself by himself in nothing that was everything enough for God to do that and then he creates everything out of nothing using his words it's there are so many things about that that are so mind-blowingly beautiful but when the magician gets ready to pull the rabbit out of his hat he says a word right what does an English-speaking magician say when he gets ready to pull a rabbit out of his hat Abracadabra that's right um what does a Russian M magician say abracadabra okay anyway so so my point is my point is that the word Abracadabra is the same word in almost every language in the world isn't that kind of mindblowing but in Hebrew the word Abracadabra if you spell the word Abracadabra in Hebrew it's Olive bate re Olive doid wow I write big in Hebrew um uh bait no Abra oh I forgot one I forgot okay Olive and then um um C Olive B uh C dbar rate and then okay ah so that just looks like that actually doesn't really look like anything unless you can read Hebrew right is that right it doesn't look it just looks like a bunch of jibber jabber it looks like a bunch of scribble unless you can read Hebrew but when you can but when you understand Hebrew and you understand each one of these letters represent something this letter right here represents God it's the olive it's the it's the first letter in the word Elohim it's the first letter in the word El Shai it's the first letter um um in the word it's the first letter in the word ABA which means father so the letter Olive it means the strength of the ox but it's the picture it's the it's the letter that represents God and an olive is made of two other Hebrew letters It's Made of Two yods and a V and the yods are hand that's the word for hand and the VV is the word for nail and so the letter that represents God in Hebrew is made of two hands and a nail how's that for mind-blowing but if you put it together Olive that's God and then bait R bit r h um is the word barah now we spell it like this in English barah what is barah by the way the only person in scripture who ever baras anything is God so uh Al if makes a sound a ab ab barah means to speak into existence out of nothing it means to fatten it means to thicken and the only person in Scripture that ever baras anything is God that is why you hear me say often no you can't speak things into existence I can't speak things into existence and I know there are preachers who disagree with me and I know there are motivational speakers who disagree with me they're all wrong it doesn't matter I mean you might believe they're right okay but the reality is if you could speak something into existence you would have already spoken something different into existence and what you got in existence right now I wish I had some okay so so so God so barah oh I I I wrote the word barah but I didn't write what it means the word barah means creates so God creates oh barah that's barah that's the whole word right there barah and then is the word as so God creates as oh this is actually meaning something Abra means as darar this is the word darar and it means speaks God creates as speaks and this letter represents what again God God creates as speaks God so the word Abracadabra means god creates as God speaks but it gets little better because the scripture says in Genesis 1:1 it says Brash Elohim hash there's a word in Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew that is not in English because there is no English translation so it's Brit which means in beginning barah God created Elohim God so the sentence structure in Hebrew is different than the sentence structure in English so it reads differently so it's it's in beginning created uh rashit Barat in beginning created God because the verb comes before the noun um and um Brash um Brash bah Elohim at here's the word it's the word at and it's the it's it's it's the word alif Tav that there's no English translation so in in Hebrew um um sentence structure the olive Tav is the direct object marker of the verb I don't even know what that means I just know that's what they told me it is I don't even know what that means but it always points to the object of the verb so so Brash Elohim at hasham the Sky Waters the heavens theet and with the olive so it's there twice the Earth so God created the heavens and the Earth with the olive Tav well what is the Olive Tav the olive Tav includes several things number one it's the it's the entirety of the Hebrew alif bait alive bait giml do he alive is the first letter of the Hebrew alif bait Tav is the last letter oh so when it says Brash barah Elohim ET in the beginning God created the and the Earth with the olive bait with the word it says the same thing in Genesis chter 1 but it can't be translated to that in English so in Hebrew Genesis 1:1 matches John 1:1 more than it matches John 1:1 in English I'm like this is so amazing but not only that what about the fact that the alive Tav is not just it's not just doesn't just include the word but it's also the first letter and the last letter of the Hebrew albate does anybody remember what Christ said he is in the book of re reation he said I'm the first and the what last I'm the beginning and the what I'm the alpha and the Omega but if he were speaking in the Hebrew he wouldn't have said I'm the alpha and omega he would have said I am the alav oh that also reminds us of what it says in John 1 verse one in the beginning was the word and the Word was God and the Word was with God and the same was in the beginning with god what the olive Tav this letter here is the letter that represents God this represents a cross or a covenant in fact in ancient paleo Hebrew the actual letter for Tav looked like a cross now you say my okay what's the point the point is that God has created everything from his word which means that his word is the essence of everything watch this God is Unbound Unbound he's he's unrestricted um he can he can he can he can have Jesus on a boat in John chapter 4 and the boat is full of water but the boat's still floating on the water even though it's full of water he can speak to Moses out of a burning bush and the burning bush is not consumed see principles have to obey God God doesn't have to obey principles are y'all tracking but even though God is Unbound he put a restriction on himself and the restri restriction that God put on himself is that he cannot lie which means he must keep his word so this is about to get juicy so that was all introduction okay that was all introduction because you so that you can wrap your mind around what's about to happen so the first thing we see is that the properties of the word from the beginning from the very beginning are comprehensive it's everything in the beginning was the word and the Word was God and the Word was with God and the same was in the beginning with God and all things were made by him and in case we didn't understand what that meant it goes on to say and without him was not anything made that was made just in case you didn't understand the first way I said it I'm going to make sure you understand the second way I said it he made everything and anything that was made was not there's nothing that was made that wasn't made with him him who him the word so if God does everything with his word how many of us how many of us in this room how many of us watching this YouTube video right now would really like to be used by God so the more we desire to be used go by God the more we have to be yielded to his word because everything that God ever does he does through his word and God is not going to contradict his word for you me or the next person his word from the beginning was comprehensive everything was made by him which when you think about it I like what I like what I heard an old preacher say one time be L said who was that put the moon in the sun and the heavens and deck the heavens with the Stars and he smooth out a chaotic Earth and scooped out a place with his hand and put the water in it tied it down with a rope of O with the Rope of sand and called it oceans he put a garment of green over the valleys and the mountains and the hills he buttoned it up with lies and garlands and wo it with laughing daffodils that's the God my friend I serve and he did that with his word the more of God's word we have in us the more we have the opportunity to be used by God the less of God's word we have in us the more likely we be are to be confused by the experiences that we have in this world because we have to measure everything against the truth that is the only truth and by the way there is no his truth her truth Your Truth my truth their truth our truth no there's the truth and anything that's not the truth is a lie we don't have individual truth so because the word of God is comprehensive from the beginning the more comprehensive I study the word the more comprehensively I study the word I was like why can't I finish this sentence okay the the more comprehensively I study the word and the more completely I comprehend the word then the more God can use me to do the things that he's called me to do from his word are y'all tracking okay and so it says um in Revelation 1 18 it says I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end the ending sayith the Lord which is and which was and which is to come the almighty so understand that the word of God is comprehensive you are not going to circumvent it I'm not going to circumvent it people say I don't believe in God it doesn't matter God does not require you to believe in him he could he could care less in order for him to exist he does not require that you believe in him God is going to be God whether you believe in him or not I mean I could you could say about me I don't believe in myON golden I don't believe he's real that's just a hologram okay like people come up with all kinds of stuff but the reality is the properties of the word of God are com comprehensive from the very beginning of time from before the beginning of time but also the personality of the word from the beginning is Christ the personality of the word from the beginning is Christ what does that mean well it says John 1 um John 1:14 and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as the glory of the only begotten of the father it says in Colossians chapter 1: uh 1213 12-15 it says giving thanks unto the Father which has made us meat to be partakers of the inherit inance of the Saints in light who who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of his dear son in whom we have Redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sin who is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of every creature you know how much the personality of the word of God is Christ from the very beginning even if you look at we already talked about the letter Allah you there's the by the way did you know that God Elohim is not God's name right you know God is not God's name God is God's title it's like um if um there's a general in the military um uh whatever a general's name is I can't think of anybody right now um but General so and so we'll call him um Flynn okay did you say Flynn Flyn General Flynn so General Flynn his name's not General his title is General okay so God is not God's name God is God's title God's name is Yahweh right it's like the Jewish people won't even say it they they refer to God as Hashem and Hashem means the name because they don't want to take the name in vain so they don't say the name at all right and so but the word for God's name is yid hey b hey now again what does that if I don't read Hebrew you know what that means to me pretty much nothing but when I understand the significance of what this says in Hebrew this is a hand this means behold this is a nail and this is behold the hand behold the nail behold read it backwards behold the nail behold the hand that is the name of God what this is so mind-blowing the personality of the word from the beginning is Christ oh okay that one didn't help you how about this one Genesis 1:1 Brash Elohim right Brash is the first word in the Hebrew alphabate do you know that a Hebrew Rabbi wrote an entire book and I think it was like 500 pages on why the Torah begins with a bait and not an alive since the alive is the letter that represents God it's kind of mind-blowing when you think if the AL is the letter represents God why would they begin the Torah why the Torah being the Book of Genesis the first five books in the Bible why would it begin with an A baate and not an olive well I don't know but maybe the word Brit bit R um alive Shin uh no yes Shin yod that's the first word Brash rashidah Elohim well that's a word but see there are no there are no uh vowels in Hebrew just consonants but you have you have vow sounds but if you take this word Brit which means in beginning and you part the letters differently and you just do bait R the word bait R spells the word bar and the word bar means son which you've you kind of knew that because you know barabus was released by pilate what does barabus mean son of the father right that's fascinating by itself right that the person's name that was released was named son of the father but the person who was kept and crucified even though he was innocent was the son of the father there's no there's no Poss POS way that a human being could have come up with all of this intricate detail it's not POS it's not even possible it's inconceivable okay so bait race the son the letter ol represents what God so this is the Son of God the letter Shin it it's a picture of teeth but it also means destroyed it's also the the one of the main letters in fire um but it means destroyed so the Son of God is destroyed yo is a hand with his hand and then a t is a cross or a covenant so the very first word in the Bible is the Son of God is destroyed with with his hands on a cross for our covenant that's the first word and and and people think people think like we we have so much arrogance we're made in the image of God which makes us higher than all the creatures and it makes us higher than creation but it doesn't make us higher than the Creator and what happens is we get caught up in Pride and we think that we can rise above the Creator I'm telling you it's not going to happen like like at the end of your life you going to figure it out if you don't figure it out before then you ain't fixing to rise above God that ain't happening but from the very beginning it from the very beginning it's Christ This is why and a lot of people don't like the fact a lot of people don't like the fact that the scripture teaches that putting your faith and trust I and I know I'm going to make some enemies here but that's okay I don't it is what it is um uh that's why the scripture clearly states that there is no substitute for putting faith in Christ for faith in Christ as the full complete all-in-one payment for us to be redeemed back to God there's nothing else that can you you can do it's not and by the way I'm not saying it's that plus stuff it's not the death bar and resurrection of Christ plus your church attendance and your tithe and you're praying and your good deeds and you're helping old ladies across the street no no it's and your baptism no none of that and your sacraments and all the other religious no it's none of that it's one thing it's the death burial and resurrection of Christ you trust that or you've trusted nothing that works period like I get it there are people who disagree with me great I remember seeing a very famous preacher I'm not going to mention him because my point is not to put him on blast my my I just remember him being interviewed on Larry King and it's the only time I've ever seen this person like visibly uncomfortable I'm and I'm not going to mention who this because that's not the point but Larry King asked the question um do you really believe that Jesus is the only way a person can be saved well um oh oh unless you want my answer camera's rolling or not better not ask me but I would have given him I would have given him an answer that would have really helped him go check himself so he don't wreck himself I would have said I have said um I'll happily answer that question for you Mr King but let me ask you a question no he didn't that's not what he asked him that wasn't the question he asked him he asked him if he actually believed that homosexuality was a sin that was the question he asked him and he I would have asked Larry King this question do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only way that a person can have eternal life and spend eternity in heaven what do you think Larry King would have said to that absolutely I don't believe that cool so here's my other question for you Mr King if I don't need you to believe what I believe in order for me to believe it why do you need me to believe what you believe in order for you to believe it could it be could it be because you actually don't really believe what you're saying but you're attempting to create group think so that you don't have anybody left to disagree with the opinion you already know is wrong it's just a thought but it's a good one it's a good thought do you indeed do do you realize that the only way for you to be more like Christ is for you to be more in line with and walking in the word that's it it's the whole thing that's that this whole exper God made us in His image and then we marred the image that he made us in and then he sent his son to redeem us to restore us to himself and then when we trust in that death burial and Resurrection then we spend the rest of our lives learning to yield to his word so we can become more like the way he made us from the beginning and less like the way we marred ourselves after the beginning okay y' y y'all are tracking good y this is the fastest y'all have ever listened okay so we can see clearly we can see clearly that the properties of the word from the beginning were comprehensive the personality of the word from the beginning was Christ and the Prophecies of the word from the beginning are complete I love what it says in Isaiah 46 9 and 10 here's what it says remember the former things of old I am God there is none else I am God and there's none like me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done saying my counsel shall stand and I will do my pleasure you know what's missing today in modern day what I call churchianity in all these sermons that all these people are preaching you know what's missing the supremacy of God we have brought God down to man's level so that he's acceptable to man and we can be relevant and build a big following and a big church and so what we'll do is we'll tell people whatever we want them to whatever they want to hear to make them feel comfortable so they'll come back and they'll listen to our music and and listen to our sermons that aren't biblically based anyway and we'd rather be relevant than righteous in our churches and the church is something that Christ instituted to feed the sheep but we've turned it into a mechanism for entertaining the goats hoping that they will one day become sheep but there's no place in scripture where the scripture tells us that God turns a goat into a sheep there are saved sheep and lost sheep there are no previously goat sheep and what we have to do is we have to trust that the word of God is the way and God knows the end from the beginning well how could God know the end from the beginning because God does not God operates in time but exists outside of time I Psalm 461 God is our refuge and our strength a very present help in trouble therefore will not we fear though the Earth be removed the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea though the waters thereof Roar and be troubled say m what are you saying God is a very present help in trouble why a present help because in the realm of time we don't really have the ability to experience the present we only have the ability to experience the past and the future as soon as I say now it becomes then so there is no now in now in in the realm of time it's it's the only way that now can exist in the realm of time is when God's operating in time or when I am focused on eternity while I'm in time because in time there's only the be there's only the past and the future but in eternity there's only the present there's only the present we live in an arena that looks like this we live in an arena that looks like this God operates in an arena that looks like this and the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning in a circle but we have a beginning day and an end day God doesn't have that God is eternal when we wrap our mind around the fact that God can know the end from the beginning because he orchestrated the whole thing but Myan don't we have free will um the Bible doesn't use Free Will as something that we have it does talk about it does talk about Free Will offerings that's funny um but but the Bible does not talk about the phrase Free Will is not a biblical term like as like I have free will I do have a will and I have a mind and I get to make decisions and I get to make choices but still God determined the whole thing you say how do you reconcile that I don't need to reconcile it I just trust that God knows what he's doing I can trust a God who is Sovereign even when I can't trace that God even when I don't understand why he's doing what he's doing I understand that he understand why understands why he's doing what he's doing I gave this illustration yesterday when I was talking to some folks I'm going to give it again even we as human beings can experience this godlikeness in that we can know the end from the beginning in the things that we've created right if I read boss Moo's book um is it up here if I read if I read it's under that one yeah it's under uh trash man to cash man if I read this book I don't have to wait till I get to the end to know how it turns out I wrote it I know the end from the beginning oh well imagine you are imagine you wrote a script for a movie you produced it you directed it you acted in it and you edited a movie and it's like a blockbuster action adventure love story comedy okay didn't leave out any good genres there okay and then the whole way through this movie like you're the main actor and you're all doing all these Cliffhanger Mission Impossible Jason Bourne Bruce Lees he's about to die she's about to die and everybody else is like oh my goodness oh my goodness I can't watch oh my and you're just sitting there watching the movie all calm they're like how can you not be look did you not see what just happened everywhere can you not be I wrote the movie I produced the movie I directed it I acted it and I edited it I know what's going to happen be when you sat in that seat I know how the movie was going to end because I determined it and you're experiencing it in real time but I've experienced the whole thing before it was ever before it was ever shown on screen and that's the best way that I can give us a little bit of comprehension about how God can can know the end from the beginning but if you want to read a book and I'm going to end with this you can find this book in mying Golden amc.com um it's by Rabbi Jonathan Khan It's called The Oracle the book The Oracle puts the sovereignty of God on display like no book I've ever read I hope this video helps you and once again God's word is God W God's wand Abracadabra watch God pull a universe I don't know stay blessed by the best thanks for watching
