Thy Name Shall Be Abraham; for a Father of Many Nations Have I Made Thee

Transcript:

[00:00] sabbath eve it's another opportunity for us to hear and learn that a word of truth that's given to us by the most high god [00:07] all honor goes to the father through the son whose name is yahushua in him lies the only hope for salvation [00:13] we know that it is obtained by grace through faith not of works lest anyone should boast and give it freely as a [00:19] gift to all who obey him we understand that if we do not obey him it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not [00:26] believe in this state you should expect no good thing from the most high however anything that you do get whether it be a [00:32] gift of tongues the gift of prophecy or any supernatural experience that you may have it can and it will be used against [00:38] you in the day of judgment with that said peace to the saints that are in the room to the saints that couldn't make it [00:43] but no peace to the wicked the only thing we say to them is repent that they might live [00:49] right last week we talked about uh noah [00:55] we talked about noah and noah had to had to weather his way through a storm [01:00] the way he did that is the most hot guy gave him the instruction to build an ark on that arc he invited animals male and [01:07] female of each animal of each kind of animal according to the [01:13] book and seven kinds of the clean animal [01:18] he brought the animals onto the ark and there was a flood [01:24] the flood was so uh the flood waters got so high that it [01:30] went over all the mountains meaning that the entire earth was submerged it was baptized right [01:37] then after that the water started to subside he sent out a few birds so he could prove that the waters was subsided [01:45] he came off of the ark and the most high gay god gave him an instruction who remembers what that [01:51] instruction was multiplied he said yes multiply and the book says in the [01:58] king james replenish the earth but the actual word there what it means is to refill the earth to feel the earth right [02:06] in other words spread out all right so what we're going to look at is we're going to continue on from noah [02:12] and we're going to try to identify you know how we end up getting to the next person in our in our narrative timeline [02:18] the next person in our narrative timeline is abram right but calls him abram later his name becomes abraham [02:26] all right but to do that we have to be able to to get the genealogies to show that how we get there so let's start [02:32] let's actually jump a little bit let's start with abraham this is uh genesis chapter 15 verse 1. [02:38] that's the other side the other way son it's at the very beginning [02:44] it's genesis chapter 15 verse 1. put those cards back boy [02:50] after these things the word of the lord came unto abram in a vision saying fear not abram i am your shield and your [02:56] exceedingly great reward he said i am your shield and your exceedingly great [03:01] reward right it's important see we don't understand what just happened right so what we're going to do [03:08] is we're going to start here but we're going to go back because a lot of things i don't think we're going to be able to get let's just keep reading because i [03:13] don't think we'll be able to get too far right here because we have to understand the significance of what the most high [03:18] god is saying one of the things that that as we go through the book this time one of the things i want to do is i want [03:25] to make sure that we can see i feel like a christian saying that but [03:30] i want to make sure that we can see the humanity of the people that we look at right i want to make sure that we can [03:37] look at them and we can say i would have made a similar decision or i can see someone making that decision i [03:44] want to make sure that we understand why things are happening and how people may have felt given the circumstances that [03:50] we read about right so to do that you're gonna have to understand like why would the most high [03:56] guys say i am your exceedingly great reward i'm your shield and your exceedingly great reward here in the [04:02] beginning of genesis 15. we're gonna get into it let's keep going [04:08] and abram said lord god what will you give me seeing i go childless and the steward of my house [04:14] is this eliezer of damascus right so he's saying what in the world are you going [04:19] to give me seeing that i go childless so most like god says i'm your reward [04:26] and the first thing that abram thinks about is i don't have a child there's a reason [04:32] why his thought goes there first we have to get the context to get there right so let's let's try to let's try to build [04:38] the context first and then we're going to come back here and see if that make a little bit more sense so let's go back [04:43] to um actually let's look at some uh let's look at some genealogies first [04:52] let me one second here so if you look at the genealogy that's on the screen [05:10] this is what's what what's commonly known as the table of nations and they call it the table of nations because [05:17] this is where all the nations of the world stem from remember all the world was flooded [05:23] until noah came along right so when noah came along [05:29] that gets us to where we have someone to repopulate the earth well along with noah [05:35] there were also his three sons who each of them had wives [05:41] right so through them the whole world was repopulated so if we read in genesis [05:47] chapter 10 we don't have to get it but in genesis chapter 10 it started to tell us about japheth and his children right [05:53] and his uh his lineage so it had gomer magog mayday javon [05:59] uh touball meshech and uh tyrus [06:04] and under gomer you have several sons over yvonne you have several sons and [06:10] we'll kind of talk about what these nations end up becoming but in genesis chapter 10 it tells us that these are [06:15] the isles of the gentiles and when you think of gentiles it's another way of saying nations so these are the the [06:22] isles it's like saying other nations right so these are the isles of those other nations those outside nations [06:28] then next it goes through him in genesis chapter 10. and it goes through summerhand it kind of talks to them so a [06:35] lot of these names we won't go through them but a lot of these names will end up coming back to [06:41] right because you'll have we already talked about kanan a little bit and we know that kanan got cursed right so [06:47] kanan he's going to end up being the nation that that uh the israelites take over [06:53] the territory that we're about to learn about with abraham he's in the land of canaan so that's very important and you [07:00] see kanan has a number of uh descendants and many of these [07:05] descendants are descendants that eventually moses is going to prepare a [07:11] people to take over all right then you have misrain mithraim is egypt [07:16] all right so these are the people of egypt if you go down and follow that lineage all the way through it's going [07:21] to take you to the philistines and the philistines are another people that's going to be in the land that we'll learn [07:27] about later so you found it yeah yeah that's what it is for me so um [07:32] and then lastly it goes into shim and so with shim [07:38] there's a number of things that occur you have elam you have artifacts it you have uh asher [07:46] you have uh saila lud what is that arana [07:52] raw all right um so you have you have you have a ram probably arum [07:58] um so you have you have multiple signs that came from shim now the lineage that takes us to abraham [08:06] is going to go from uh uh our our faxad to salah to eber which [08:15] is where the hebrew people came from his name is eber but that ends up being uh hebrew uh which in the actual language [08:22] is is more like everway right but we say here in english it'll be hebrew [08:27] then you have peleg now i'm going to stop here at peleg because something interesting happens at [08:34] the time of peleg can you grab genesis chapter [08:41] i think it's let's try i don't know what it is [08:47] actually i think it's genesis when is payload [08:53] is it genesis maybe it's the end of genesis 10 yeah it's the end you see it [08:58] i don't know uh yeah verse 25. so this is genesis chapter 10 verse 25. why should the book [09:04] say and we're talking about peleg and unto eber were born two sons so eber they [09:10] were born two sons which ones the name of one was peleg so you have pele pelag [09:16] right here and then what's the name of the other one for in his days was the earth divided and his brother's name was [09:21] joktan right and his brother name was joktan so we're talking about this right here right so p-leg came first [09:29] and in his days what happened the earth was split the earth was split it was [09:34] divided right earth was divided yeah it's a it's a it's a very specific event that [09:40] occurred in the time of p-leg right so if we go and we look [09:46] you'll see that p-leg has a definition the definition for p-leg is earthquake [09:52] according for the hebrew word that p-leg comes from it means earthquake right [09:58] so his name means earthquake and then also it says this is the time [10:03] where the world was divided that's very important because there's an event that happens [10:09] during the time of p-leg that we'll kind of look into so let's look at genesis chapter 11 [10:15] and let's see what we can uh what we can kind of figure out here is genesis [10:21] chapter 11. [10:28] genesis chapter 11 let's do verse one and the whole earth was one language and of one speech so the entire earth was [10:35] one language and of how many speeches one speech and of one speech you know [10:40] what that means everybody did what same thing everybody spoke the same [10:46] language who's ever seen somebody speak a different language what language did you hear uh [10:54] you never heard nobody speak no dark chinese what about you [11:09] japanese what about you [11:14] cars all right expanded now we ought to heard a whole [11:20] bunch of mexicans and different people speak spanish right because where we are [11:25] there's a lot of people close we're close to mexico so there's a lot of people when they come from mexico or [11:31] people who are here in in living before america took over the land that the mexicans used to have [11:37] or the people that mexicans come from used to have there's a lot of people here right a lot of this land used to be [11:42] mexico right so because of that there's a lot of people that speak spanish [11:48] right mexicans speak spanish there's a lot of other languages that speak spanish as well [11:54] imagine if everybody spoke the same language no matter what everybody understood what the other other group [12:00] was saying right it would be different people would be able to unify and that's exactly what [12:05] happened here everybody spoke the same language let's see and the earth was of one language and of one speech [12:11] and it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plane in the land of shinar and they dwelt there [12:17] so now the whole world everybody is journeying together everybody's unified [12:22] right so they they came from the east and then they looked for a place and they found a place called shinar [12:29] and what else happened and they said one to another go to let us make brick and burn them thoroughly right here let's [12:35] make some brick what do you do with bricks and build something you build what you what what might you [12:41] build with a brick you might build a wall what else you what else you might build [12:48] a path or you probably put it in or a brick house you might build somewhere to stay right what else [12:54] what you got whatever you into boy i don't know [12:59] what's wrong with my boy [13:06] no you just darn being silly right but you you take bricks and you'll build something like a house right something [13:12] strong well that's kind of what they're doing watch this watch what they built [13:17] and they said one to another go to let us make brick and burn them thoroughly and they had brick for stone and slime [13:23] had they for mortar and they said go to let us build us a city in a tower whose top may reach unto [13:29] heaven so they wanted to build a city that's kind of like building a house right they wanted to build a city and then in [13:36] the midst of the city what else did they build a tower a tower that does what [13:42] it reaches up into heaven that reaches up into heaven right what does that mean [13:47] when the book say it reaches up into heaven what does that mean really really high in the sky [13:53] it's big it's a skyscraper right another way of saying sky is heaven right when we look when you see [14:00] heaven in the bible it's like saying sky right so just like when people say it's a skyscraper it's like it would be the [14:06] same saying that it's it's a heaven scrape scraper or it's in the heaven right so they tried to build a [14:11] skyscraper just like what we see in the world today when you go to new york or go to la or chicago or all these cities [14:18] they have these high buildings that's all the way in the sky they tried to build something to build something like [14:23] that go ahead what do you have a question about that huh [14:29] they're tall what do we got and let us make a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth so now they said [14:37] let us make a name right so they want to build this city they want to give this city a name and the [14:44] reason why they don't want to do it is because they don't want to be scattered abroad across the earth [14:50] is that a problem yeah that's a problem why is that a problem [14:55] the lord said replenish the earth the most high god said you supposed to feel the earth you're supposed to spread out [15:03] right i told you to multiply and spread out but y'all tried to multiply and stay [15:10] right in the same spot all speak the same languages so now mozart guy got to fix the issue let's see what happened [15:16] and the lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built right but god came down he saw it [15:22] and what do you say and the lord said behold the people is one and they have all one language [15:28] and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do he said [15:33] nothing would be restrained from them that they've imagined to do and the reason is because they all had one [15:41] language everybody has one language and they're unified [15:48] this is something that god acknowledges you know how people say we just have too much division in the world if we were [15:53] all just unified we'd be able to the most like god knows that that's true if everybody was unified book says read [16:00] it again watch what god says and lord said behold the people is one and they have all one language he says the people [16:05] is one and they all have one language watch this and this they began to do and now nothing will be restrained from them [16:11] which they have imagined to do he said nothing that they imagined would be kept from them because they are one people [16:17] with one language so that shows that if everybody is unified man you can't stop [16:23] all them people if everybody is unified right and this is the most high god [16:29] saying it well like i said look everything they imagine they gonna be able to get to it [16:34] but i got like i can't have that happen so let's see what the most like guy did in return go to let us go down [16:41] and there confound their language that they may not understand one another's speech when the book says confounded it means [16:47] confused right so he said you have to confuse their language so where people knew what [16:53] everybody else spoke the language everybody else spoke when the muslim god confounds it or confused the language [16:59] now not everybody knows what everybody speaks so he mixed up the languages and he gave people different languages watch [17:05] this so the lord scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth and [17:11] they left off to build the city right so the exact thing that they were preventing that they wanted to prevent [17:16] from happening remember they built that city because they didn't want to be scattered abroad but the most high god scattered them and he spreaded them out [17:23] throughout all the earth the book say right and then they left off from building that city watch this [17:31] therefore is the name of it called babel because the lord did there did there confound the language of all [17:37] the earth from there did the lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth [17:42] so the most high god scattered everybody at that point it's important that we see that the most high god had to intervene [17:48] because everybody was on the same page right if we look at um let's grab uh first corinthians chapter one verse one [17:55] real quick actually not verse one give me verse ten it's first corinthians chapter 1 verse [18:00] 10. [18:07] because this is this is this is why reading the old testament is important because everybody we reading about in the new testament they were raised on [18:14] the old testament or they had to learn or rely for their wisdom on the old testament [18:28] relative i guess it's relatively close if you compare it to yes another one that's closer [18:36] but it's not geography class now i beseech you brother by the name of [18:42] our lord yahshua the messiah that you all speak the same thing and that you and that there be no divisions among you [18:49] but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind in the same judgment right so you see paul when he [18:54] was talking about obeying yahushua and being one in the truth he's saying [18:59] listen we have to speak the same thing and have the same judgment with no division [19:05] well that's the same thing the most high god saw that was so dangerous when people were not aligned according to his [19:10] instruction his instruction was to spread out right he said that on purpose [19:17] he knows how this thing gonna play out they didn't listen so what he did is he went down and he spread them out he [19:22] forced them to spread out and confuse their language right one day because everybody is doing whatever they want to [19:28] do not everybody obeys god one day everybody will need to obey god and when that happened guess what most [19:34] like god gonna do give him one language he gonna give us one language again grab zephaniah [19:43] this is zephaniah chapter three [19:58] zephaniah 3 give me verse 8. [20:06] [Applause] [20:11] therefore weigh ye upon me says the lord until the day that i rise up to the prey [20:16] for my determination is to gather the nations that i may assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them my indignation even [20:22] all my fears anger right this is what we read about uh a couple weeks ago when we were talking about revelations keep [20:28] going for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy that's right for then will i turn to the people of pure [20:35] language he said then i'll i'll return to the people at pure language [20:40] that they may all call upon the name of the lord to serve him with one consent with one what consent everybody on the [20:47] same page right everybody is on the same page that's what it's about most high god [20:54] knows how powerful that is so if everybody is not on the same page according to his will guess what [21:00] he got to scatter it he got him confounded he got to confuse it right otherwise people will be [21:08] united to something that's going to end up killing them or sending them to hell [21:13] okay so he scattered him he scattered the people the reason why he scattered them [21:18] because if everybody is united in the way that's against his word that that's going to send them to hell so this is the act of grace that causes them to be [21:25] scattered but this is how we end up with multiple languages this is how we end up with people today that speak one [21:30] language versus another language okay let's go uh let's go well actually before we go back [21:37] let's look back at our our charts again so we could try to get an understanding of um [21:43] p-leg so now [21:49] looking at p-leg [22:02] [Applause] um [22:15] there we go all right so now looking at p leg [22:23] we see that his name means earthquake so now with his name meaning earthquake [22:30] this is where we can see that the world was not only the people were not only spread out [22:37] there was also an earthquake that spread and separated the people from from different lands so the world [22:44] starts to take a different shape similar to the shape that what we see today right [22:50] so if we look at this map we have many of the same names that we were just looking at remember we talked about [22:55] gomer and ashkenaz this attempts to lay them down in the map [23:00] to show kind of where all these different people went so we see where greece is you'll see yvonne right so [23:07] yvonne became a number of other people you see um you see uh right here egypt you see [23:14] mitzrayim remember we talked about how mr aim was egypt you see ethiopia over here you see kush [23:21] right that's many of the people that that started out as being ethiopian right so this is the beginning of where [23:27] the nation started to take form then of course from there you had people spread out right we know just to kind of get an [23:33] understanding of what we're looking at right now this is africa right so this is africa down here and [23:39] then this is europe up here [23:45] this is what we have is saudi arabia and this is the beginning of asia here [23:51] all right so if you look at it that way you'll see that everything everything was kind of started out here and then of [23:58] course over time things evolved people moved out people went to different lands [24:03] people crossed you know and went over to what was now known as the americas and all that stuff but at the beginning this [24:10] is where it kind of started out and people just continuously spread it out and that wouldn't have happened unless [24:16] the most high god cause people to separate languages and cause people to be divided like [24:22] you have to imagine that a flood just happened right and during that flood the ground was rupturing and water was [24:29] coming out it makes sense that when the flood subsided [24:34] go to um go to verse [24:40] what verse was that see if you can find in chapter maybe eight [24:46] what'd it look like when the floods start coming down [25:04] i think maybe it's eight it might be when the floods start coming out i want to say it's eight [25:11] haters when he sent out the dove and then it talked about the water i swaged in the beginning [25:20] um oh it's not in it's not in uh [25:27] it's in genesis i mean it's in uh psalms let me see if i can find where that [25:32] psalms was uh [25:37] okay we don't have to get it but there's a place in psalms that tells you that let me see if this is it [25:46] yeah now there's a place in psalms that tells you that the most high god lifted mountains [25:52] and moved the mountains around just to uh cause the water to kind of go into where the mountains are [25:58] and so if you do that you can imagine that that left places [26:04] that doesn't look quite like what we see today like islands well then i think the islands may come [26:10] from the earthquakes that happened in p-legs time right just kind of just so we can kind of [26:15] theorize and kind of look at what what may have been going on okay [26:22] so then the next thing we look at is kind of getting the idea of the flood this is the timeline right so remember [26:28] adam live 930 years old and then you can see seth lifespan so you can kind of see where all the [26:34] overlap is and you can see where the flood happened remember the flood killed everybody that [26:40] came before the flood and so that leaves you with the only thing listed here is shim [26:45] but it leaves you with shims people so we talked about shem we talked about um [26:50] our facsid we talked about salah we talked about eber we talked about p-leg [26:56] and then after that you get rue uh mariyu we get cerugu [27:01] uh you get nehor you get tara and then you get abraham but what do you notice about these [27:07] lifespans shorter they just keep getting shorter and shorter [27:13] so you're that's going to be important as we as we go through this because when we're looking at these lifespans we know [27:20] adam he was having kids until he is 130 years old all right well he had kids at 130 and [27:27] after that right we had seth he is having kids and had kids after 105. [27:33] and enos was 90 having kids and after that having kids kanan was 70 having [27:38] kids and after that having kids 65 162 65 [27:44] 187 182 noah it didn't say i don't think he had did [27:50] he have his kids at 502 i don't remember yeah noah might have his kids at a 502 [27:56] household yeah i think he did so noah having kids at [28:01] 502 right so you see that people are having children at very very very old ages in [28:08] comparison to what we look at today but then the ages started to slow down [28:14] so we see the green areas when they started to have our or when the book is telling us that they had their kids [28:19] right so you see shim a hundred then all of a sudden or fax it [28:26] is 35 30 34 30 32 30 [28:32] 29 70 with tara and then abraham's 100. [28:37] all right we're going to talk about abraham being 100 getting this kid [28:42] let's uh let's get back to it let's start off with um genesis chapter [28:48] 12. [28:54] genesis chapter 12. yeah well they say the earth is millions [29:00] of years old yeah now you can't listen nothing these people say baby out here taking wild [29:05] guesses it's writing them to take guesses because they don't have the information the only problem is it's not right that they don't have the [29:11] information because it's provided to us if you don't have the information you're supposed to guess right you you're [29:16] supposed to sit there and act like you know you're supposed to guess you're gonna be wrong because you don't have the information [29:21] right problem is that they got the information available to them and they just not paying attention to it what's that [29:26] genesis chapter 12 good job now the lord had said unto abram [29:32] get thee out of your country and from your kindred and from your father's house into a land that i will show you that's right and i will make of you a [29:39] great nation i will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing right he said i'm going to make [29:44] of you a great nation i will bless you and make your name great and you're going to be a blessing watch this [29:49] and i will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you the people that bless you i'ma bless them and the people that curse you i'ma curse them [29:57] and then you shall all families of the earth be blessed okay keep going so abraham departed as the lord had spoken [30:02] unto him first of all the most high god is speaking directly unto him it's not like what the christians god i just felt [30:08] the lord speak to me today i've noticed now it's not the same thing most like god spoke to this man is the prophet [30:14] right so you can see the more he trusted the most high god and moved when the most high god told him to move let's see keep [30:20] going there's not no intuition this wasn't a guess it wasn't like maybe i think maybe [30:25] god was talking to me last night no no most like god clearly spoke to him told you this is exactly what you need to do [30:31] right let's see so abraham departed as the lord had spoken unto him and lot went with him and abram was 75 years old [30:39] when he departed out of heroin right and lot went with him let's jump back this is genesis chapter 11. what's the last [30:45] couple verses i want to learn about lot 10 well 10 talk about the descendants it starts [30:51] there but i just want to hear about lot all right should be right at the end there [30:58] uh-uh don't let her touch that boy uh 23 [31:04] so this is genesis chapter 11 verse 25. [31:13] genesis chapter 11 verse 25. and nahor lived after he begat terror [31:21] 119 years and begot sons and daughters uh-huh and tara lived 70 years and begot [31:26] abram nahor and harad uh-huh now these are the generations of terror terror [31:31] begot abram nehor and haran and haran begat lot right so [31:37] abram's brother his name is uh haram [31:43] haran had a son his name was lot so that means lot was what to abraham [31:50] uh his uncle right abraham was life's uncle [31:55] keep going and haran died before his father tara in the land of his nativity take that in ur [32:00] of the counties and abraham and ahor took them wives the name of abram's wife was sarai in the [32:07] name of nahor's wife melka okay the father of melka and of the father of [32:12] ishkah but sarai was barren she had no child and terror took abram his son in lot in [32:19] the son of haran his son son and sarai his daughter-in-law [32:25] his son abram's wife and they went forth with them from ur of the counties to go into the [32:31] land of canaan and they came to haran and dwelt there okay so now let's go back to uh genesis chapter 12 where did [32:37] we leave off now that we know who lot is be careful baby girl going at your foot for [32:44] genesis chapter 12 verse 4 remember we got to get all the way back [32:49] to genesis chapter 15. but we need to build the story and make sure we understand because the most high [32:54] god pop up out of nowhere and he told him he was like listen i'm your shield and your exceedingly great reward [33:00] and the first thing abraham thought about that was yeah but you ain't gave me no air so we got to figure out why [33:05] would that come to abraham's mind abram's mind as the first thing there's a story behind that right [33:12] so keep going so abram departed as the lord had spoken unto him and lot went with him and abram was 75 years old so [33:19] he's 75 at this point watch this and abram took sarai his wife and lot his brother's son and all of [33:27] their substance and they had that they had gathered in the souls that they had gotten in her rod and they went forth to [33:33] go into the land of canaan and into the land of canaan they came right so before [33:39] he even got started he already had cattle and the book says the souls that he had gotten when he was in iran so he [33:46] had cattle and he had people that tells you that he wasn't a poor man already [33:51] right abraham wasn't poor already he already had a little bit of substance right so he's moving along [33:58] and he went into where he came right so we talked about kanan so he went into the canaanites land [34:04] let's keep going and abram passed through the land unto the place of sikkim [34:10] unto the plain of moray canaanite was and the canaanite was then [34:16] in the land right and the canaanite was then in the land so he had to coexist with the canaanite let's jump over to uh [34:23] chapter 14. [34:32] and it came to pass in the days of am rafael king of shinar ariak king of eliza well some context [34:39] important here too so in chapter 13 it was a little squabble between lot and [34:44] abram right we didn't we didn't look at it but in chapter 13 they had a little disagreement and abram said listen your [34:52] people don't need to be fighting with my people i tell you what you take whatever part of the land you want to take and [34:57] you chill there and then we'll take a different land that lets you know it was already a lot of people that was with [35:02] them right so lot ended up going to a place called sodom [35:08] right and abram ended up taking uh the the a lot of the [35:13] space that's in canaan they didn't own this land but these are the people that they decided to dwell with so that their [35:19] people didn't mix as much and they weren't so cramped they spread it out a bit right [35:25] so this is chapter 14. watch this in the canyon pass in the days of america [35:30] m raphael king of shinar ariat king of a laser he dolimer king of evil entitled [35:36] king of nations that's four kings right so it came to pass that there were four kings and what happened that these made [35:42] war with bera king of sodom and with birsha king of gamora [35:48] shinab king of admira and shimber king of zeboyam so that's for and what else [35:54] king of zeborum and whatever the king of bela which is or uh-huh so so that was [35:59] four kings on one side and four kings on the other side they made war against each other [36:04] it's four on four in terms of the kingdoms right let's see what happens all these were joined together in the [36:11] vowel of sittim which is the salt sea twelve years they served kidalomer and [36:18] in the thirteenth year they rebelled and in the fourteenth year came kidalimer and the kings that were with [36:24] him and smote the rifams in asteroth kernayam and the zunin zuzims in ham [36:31] and the imems and shiva kyrie thyme so i don't know if you guys remember these names but last week we [36:38] talked about these names because we talked about in deuteronomy these names were mentioned and it was told to us in [36:45] deuteronomy that these are the names that came from the giants right it came from the nephilim that we [36:51] talked about in genesis chapter 6 where the most high god said that uh the sons [36:56] of god the celestial beings or what we consider angels came down and they lay with the daughters of men right and they [37:03] ended up creating giants well these are descendants it doesn't explicitly tell us here but in [37:09] deuteronomy chapter 2 that we read last week it talked we talked through it and it told us that those are the same people that came from giants so all [37:15] these people are involved in the war and they're trying to take over these giants right keep going watch this [37:22] in the in the horizon the in the horizon there mount seer unto el paran which is [37:28] by the wilderness and they returned and came to end misfat which is in kadesh and smote all the [37:34] country of the amalekites and also the amorites that dwelt in hazes on tamar [37:40] and there went out the king of sodom and the king of gomorrah and the king of admiral and the king of zeboyam and the [37:45] king of bela and they joined battle with them in the veil of siddim [37:51] with kodalimer the king of elim and with tidal the king of nations and am raphael [37:56] king of shinar and ariad king of eliza four kings with five and the veil of siddim was full of slime [38:04] pits and the kings of sodom and gomorrah fled and fell there and they that remained fled to the mountain [38:09] and they took all the goods of sodom and gomorrah and all their victories and went their way and they took lot abram's [38:15] brother son who dwelt in sodom and his goods and departed and there came one that had escaped and told abraham that [38:22] he the hebrew right so somebody escaped when they found out that they took lot [38:27] remember lot was in sodom sodom is involved in this war they came and captured them they took lot along with [38:33] the rest of the spoils when they took over sodom and stole them away so somebody escaped and they came and told [38:40] abram watch this for he dwelt in the plane of mamrie the amorite brother of eschkal and brother of aynor and these [38:47] were confederate with abram and when abram heard that his brothers his brother was taken captive he armed his [38:53] trained servants look when abraham heard that the his nephew his brother was taken captive you know what he did [39:00] he got together as trained servants right got everybody together everybody suited up everybody heard about the [39:07] movie 300. watch this born in his own house 318 and pursue [39:12] them unto dan yeah he took 318 people and you see i told you he had a lot of people with him so he took 318 with him [39:20] that was trained and he pursued the people onto what damn that's way up north and he divided [39:26] himself against them and he sat and he and his servants by night and smote them and pursued them unto hoba which is on [39:34] the left hand of damascus and he brought back all the goods and he brought again his brother lot and his goods and the [39:40] women also and the people uh-huh and the king of sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of [39:46] kidalomer and of the kings that were with him at the valley of shiva which is the king's dale and melchizedek [39:52] king of salem brought forth bread and wine and he was the priest of the most high god so melchizedek king of salem so [40:00] salem is a place that became known as jerusalem right so he was the king of a [40:05] place salem all of this has happened happening in the land that will eventually become israel right right now [40:12] it's it's a bunch of different territories but eventually it becomes israel so there's a guy named [40:18] melchizedek who's the king of salem of the king of the place that will eventually become jerusalem [40:24] and let's see what happens and brought from and brought forth bread and wine [40:30] and he was the priest of the most high god so he was the priest of our god right [40:35] so him being a priest of the the most high god he came and he uh he started to talk to abram [40:41] watch this and he blessed him and said blessed be abram the most high gods [40:46] possessor of heaven and earth uh-huh and bless be the most high god which has [40:52] delivered thine enemies into your hand and he gave him tithes of all so abraham [40:57] or abram ended up giving uh the tithes of everything that he had remember he [41:02] wasn't a poor man so everything that he had he gave him ties which means he gave him 10 of everything that he had [41:09] uh talking about melchizedek and he did that to honor god right so this is the this is where tithes end up coming from [41:16] we're going to learn about that when the law comes when we get to moses let's keep going and the king of sodom [41:21] said unto abram give me the persons and take the goods to yourself and abram said to the king of sodom i have lift up [41:28] my hand unto the lord the most high god the possessor of heaven and earth that i will not take from a thread even uh even [41:35] to a shoe ratchet and that i will not take anything that is yours unless you [41:40] should say i have made abram abram rich right so abram said you know [41:45] what the well first the king of sodom told me is like listen i just want the people you you rescue my people if you just [41:52] give me the people we good you can keep all the spoil you earned it i appreciate you going to go get the people right [41:58] right even like no no no no no we're not going to do that because you're gonna mess around and come back later and try to say you made me [42:04] right you the reason that i'm that that i'm rich or you the reason that you know and try to make it look like i owe you something so he said i'm not gonna do [42:10] now i'm not gonna take nothing from you watch this save only that which the young men have eaten and the portion of [42:16] the men which went with me he said the only thing that i'm keeping is [42:21] what the cost right the cost of kind of carrying out this ordeal and me feeding everybody here like pay me back for that [42:28] you know what i'm about give me give me my money back for what i what i paid for outside of that though [42:34] we good watch this aynor eshkoll and memory let them take their portion [42:42] that's the end all right let's go this is uh chapter 15. so now that just happened now we back to where we started in chapter 15 [42:49] right and let's see if this make a little bit more sense abraham just got our abram just got into a war he just [42:56] rescued some people he didn't take nothing and he just paid ties to the most high god right then after that this [43:03] happens you know and after these things the word of the lord came unto abram in the vision saying fear not abram i am your [43:10] shield and your exceedingly great reward right so at this point after he just denied a reward for something the most [43:18] high god said i'm your sheer shield i'm your protection ain't nobody gonna be able to get you right and i'm also your [43:24] exceedingly great reward he just denied a reward and instead of taking he took ten [43:31] percent of everything he had and gave it to god and he didn't try to get it back from the king of sodom he said no can [43:37] you stop him just pay me back for everything that that that was a cost to me to take care of your people and [43:42] regain your people but don't give me anything extra you take everything else right keep going watch this [43:49] and abram said lord god what will you give me seeing i go childless and the steward of my house is this eliezer of [43:55] damascus right so you remember back in chapter 12 the most high god promised him i'm going to make you a nation [44:04] right and i'm going to make your seed great so if you think about that from abraham's point of view it's like [44:12] i ain't got no kids right i don't have any kids you haven't [44:17] i tried to have kids because you tell them you're like man you haven't given me no kids so that means i try to have [44:22] kids but i haven't been able to have kids right so he's looking at him like what [44:27] are you gonna give me he's saying man listen i ain't got no air watch this [44:36] and abram said behold to me you have given no seed and lo one born in my house is my heir and behold the word of [44:42] the lord came unto him saying this shall not be your heir but he shall come forth out of your own bowel shall be your heir [44:49] right he's saying the air that i'm talking about he's gonna come forth right out of your bowels in other words [44:55] he's gonna come directly from you he's gonna be your biological son right abram's kind of offering up like yeah [45:01] man oh boy he was born here he said the man that's born in my house is gonna have to be my heir in other words it's [45:07] gonna be you know susie and joe they end up having a kid and i'm over you know i'm protecting them i'm their leader and [45:15] so their kid gonna have to be my heir i don't have no kid for myself to be a heir or i'm gonna mess around i have to [45:20] give it to lot my nephew you know what i'm saying because i don't have no kid myself to be in my air watch this [45:28] most like god said no no no no no your own biological kid is going to be your heir right watch this and he [45:34] brought him forth abroad and said look now toward heaven and tell the stars if you be able to number them [45:41] and he said unto him so shall your seed be right so now he's showing them the stars and he's telling them as many [45:47] stars there are so is going to be as many people that come from you directly [45:53] right it's important to understand what's happening here and try to think about it from abraham's or abram's point of view [46:00] right abram is looking at this like this don't make sense i haven't had no [46:05] kids i haven't been able to have kids so that must mean that the most high god is going to give me a kid [46:11] and then if he give me a kid i'm 75 years old and we starting to see that it [46:17] was less than likely for people to start having kids that old right most of the kids would have theirs [46:22] having a 30 right the oldest one after the flood was 70. he's 75 [46:28] and he hasn't been able to have kids up to this point right watch this and he believed in the lord and he [46:34] counted it to him for righteousness well abraham believed it right and the most high god counted it to him his [46:39] righteousness watch this and he said unto him i am the lord that brought you up brought you out of ur of the counties [46:46] to give you this land and to inherit and he said lord god whereby shall i [46:51] know that i shall inherit it and he said unto him take me a heifer of three years old in a she-goat of three [46:57] years old and a ram of three years old and a turtle dove and a young pigeon and he took unto him all these and [47:03] divided them in the midst and laid each piece one against another but the birds divided he not [47:09] and when the fouls came down upon the carcasses abram drove them away all right so that means there were vultures [47:15] that came down trying to eat the dead bodies of the animals that he's about to sacrifice so he drove them away there's [47:21] a lot in there we're not going to talk about it today but we don't have to come back to that we're gonna talk about what that means right keep going watch this [47:28] and when the sun was going down a deep sleep fell up on abram and low a horror of great darkness fell upon him [47:34] right so if he he felt the great darkness that fell upon him right watch this and he said unto abram know of a [47:41] surety that your seed shall be a stranger in the land that is not theirs and shall serve them right [47:46] and they shall afflict them 400 years so he said 400 years your seed [47:52] are gonna be uh afflicted but he said before that no of a surety that your seed are gonna be [47:58] say it again shall be a stranger in the land that is not theirs they're gonna be a stranger [48:04] in a land that is not theirs for how many generations and they shall afflict them [48:10] for 400 years before that he said unto abram noah for surety that [48:17] your seed shall be a stranger in the land that is not theirs and shall serve them and shall afflict them for 400 years oh okay my bad after that then [48:24] let's keep going and also that nation whom they shall serve will i judge and afterward shall they come out with great [48:29] substance and you shall go to your fathers in peace you shall be buried in a good old [48:34] age but in the fourth generation they shall come here again for the iniquity of the amorites is not yet full [48:41] so he said in the fourth generation they shall come here again abram right now is [48:46] in the land of canaan which eventually becomes israel so he's saying after the fourth generation you're gonna have [48:53] children that are going to come here again that lets abra so [48:59] abram wouldn't know this right because the most high god is just giving them he's giving them dark sayings things are difficult to understand right [49:06] but as we look back in hindsight what the most high god is trying to communicate is two different things [49:11] one there's going to be a people that's going to be afflicted in a land that's not their own for 400 years [49:18] that's one then also there's going to be his people his seed that are have to go somewhere [49:24] because they're going to end up coming back to where abraham is now after four generations a lot of people [49:31] theorize and say oh the fourth generation is the same as the 400 years but that's not true if you look at how [49:36] the book looks at generations it's talking about people it's talking about this man had a son and his son's name is [49:43] this who then had a son and his son named this who then had a son those are generations if you have four sons or [49:51] four grandchildren or not four grandchildren but for uh four generations of lineage right [49:58] your son had a son and his son had a son and his son had a son that would be four generations and that's what this is [50:04] discussing at this point keep going [50:13] and it came to pass that when the sun went down and it was dark behold a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that [50:18] passed between those pieces in the same day the lord made a covenant with abram saying unto thy seed saying [50:25] unto thy seed have i given this land from the river of egypt unto the great river the river euphrates the kenites [50:31] and the canazites and the kodoma the codmonites and the hittites and the [50:38] perizzites and the raphaems and the amorites and the canaanites and the gurgashites and the jebusites [50:46] keep going that's interception you're going 16. yep [50:52] now sarah abram's wife bare him no children and she had a handmaid an egyptian whose name was hagar right so [50:59] sarah couldn't have any children she thought and then she had a handmade it's very important to understand where [51:07] abram is coming from right now right abram is old he's worried that he probably can't have [51:14] kids at this point right i haven't been able to have kids up to this point for whatever reason right i haven't had [51:20] children up to this point the mosaic god is telling me that it's going to be a child that comes from me he didn't [51:26] mention my wife right he just said it's going to be a child that comes from me watch this [51:33] sarah is his wife watch this and sarah said unto abraham behold now the lord has restrained me from bearing i pray [51:39] thee go in unto my maid it may be that i may obtain children by her right [51:45] so now sarah is looking like listen i figured it out i can't have no darn kids [51:52] but i have a maid who i'm responsible for who i'm accountable for who's under my [51:58] leadership i'll tell you what if you go into her then technically i'ma have kids through [52:05] her if you do it that way guess what it's still abram's biological kid because the most [52:11] high guy said your heir will come from your bowels so abraham is flipping this thing over [52:17] he looking like it actually might work maybe that's what the most high god is thinking about let's see what happens [52:24] and abram harken unto the voice of sarai and sarai abram's wife took hagar her maid the egyptian after abram had dwelt [52:32] ten years in the land of canaan and gave her to her husband abram to be his wife uh-huh and he went in onto hagar and she [52:38] conceived and when she saw that she had conceived her mistress was despised in her eyes right [52:45] so now she's despised right the egyptian lady is despised in [52:51] the eyes of sarai why would that happen it was sarah's idea right yeah [52:58] why do you think that would happen a little jealous you get jealous you see that happening [53:04] all the time right they got it it's all the rave nowadays [53:10] they got something called a uh what they call polly is it polyamory what you know about it [53:17] are you watching the red table top oh goodness but yeah that's all why it's all arrayed because the will and jada smith right so you got this thing where [53:23] your marriage one way or another you let a whole bunch of people into your marriage right and so you you wrestling with all these [53:30] different people but it's an agreement within your marriage that this is okay right that you can do all this wrassling [53:36] everybody is okay right in that agreement it's it's okay we agreed you [53:44] can do your thing as long as i know about it as long as it's that another i can do my thing long as i know about it [53:50] it's another everything seems fine but guess what often happens in these types of relationships [53:57] fight someone gets upset right although it was their idea [54:05] so now will smith is looking crazy right but away from them [54:10] you have real life situations where people are saying you know what i changed my mind about that [54:17] i got jealous maybe you like her a little too much or like him a little bit too much right it makes me feel a [54:23] certain way i don't like it well the reason why is because the most i got one the most high god ain't set it up that [54:28] way that not to say that you can't have a successful relationship like that because if you got two people that ain't [54:34] got nothing to do with the most high god it wouldn't matter how the most like god set it up right but that is to say if you got somebody [54:40] who has any inkling of the most high god inside of them or any tug from the most high god [54:46] they're going to resist that internally at some point they don't feel like this ain't right i don't like this i'm [54:52] jealous now and that's what just happened with sarai sarah tried to give her handmaid over [54:58] right but then by the baby by it working by that plan working by abram being able to [55:05] get this egyptian woman pregnant guess what that says to sarai oh i was the problem [55:12] how do you think that feels to her right that feels to her like oh i'm the one [55:18] that's not that's not sufficient i'm the one that's holding my husband back [55:24] he's gonna love this woman more than me this little made woman i'm rich i got [55:29] all this stuff and this main woman got more than me she got my husband and she gonna be the one to give him the son [55:36] that the most high guys are gonna grant all these things through so guess what now she immediately [55:43] despises the woman let's see what happens as a result and sarah i said unto abram my wrong be upon you he said [55:50] my wrong be upon you why did he say that she [55:57] mad at him like man look what you did i have given my maid into your bosom and [56:02] when she saw that she had conceived i was despised in her eyes the lord judged between me and you uh-huh but abram said [56:10] unto sarah i behold your maid is in your hand due to her as it pleases you and [56:16] when sarah and sarah i dealt hardly with her she fled from her face all right so now the egyptian woman she had to run [56:23] off because they had a little beef right so she had to run off [56:29] and what else happened keep going and the angel of the lord was found her uh found her by the fountain of water [56:35] and the wilderness by the fountain and the way to shirt uh-huh and he said hey guard sarah is made where are you coming [56:42] from and where will you go and she said i flee from the face of my mistress sarah [56:48] and the angel of the lord said unto her return to your mistress and submit yourself unto her hands and the angel lord said unto her i will [56:54] multiply your seed exceedingly that it shall not be numbered for multitude and the angel of the lord said unto her [57:00] behold you are with child and shall bear a son and shall call his name ishmael [57:05] because the lord has heard your affliction and he will be a wild man his hand will [57:11] be against every man and every man's hand against him and he shall dwell in the presence of all his [57:17] brothers all right so you have ishmael that's coming through [57:23] and there's a prophecy attached to him right at the same time you have hagar that tried to escape because her and [57:30] sarah are beefing and she don't like it right abram [57:36] got a son on the way right sarah is looking like good [57:41] riddance now the angel told tells hagar to go back and submit herself to sarah [57:48] let's see what happens now and she called the name of the lord that spake unto her [57:54] thou god sees me for he said have i also here looked after him that sees me [58:01] wherefore the well was called beer lehiroi behold it is between kadish and [58:06] barrett and hagar bear abram assange and abram called his son's name which hagar bear ishmael and abram was four score [58:14] and six years old when hagar bare ishmael right 86 so he was 86 years old [58:21] at the time that uh hagar uh was pregnant right let's keep going [58:29] and when abram was 90 years old in 90 years old and nine the lord appeared to abram and said unto him i am the [58:36] almighty god walk before me and be perfect right so 99 years old we ain't [58:42] got no context of him hearing from the most i got in all this time he got this son he think everything rolling [58:48] everything is cool 99 years old guess what most i got pop up guess what they say to them [58:54] let's see 86 to 99 so what's that math what is it 13 years so so the boy 13 [59:00] years old at this point about 13 years old right watch this [59:06] walk before me and be thou perfect and i will make my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly and [59:12] abram fell on his face and god talked with him saying as for me behold my covenant is with you and you shall be a [59:18] father of many nations neither shall your name anymore be called abram but your name shall be abraham all right so [59:24] he gave him a new name your name is abraham now he said walk before me and be thou perfect right [59:30] from now on you do everything i say you do right watch this for a father of many nations have i made [59:37] you uh-huh and i will make you exceedingly fruitful and i will make nations of you kings [59:43] shall come out of you that's right and i will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you and the [59:49] generation for an everlasting covenant to be god unto thee into your seed after thee right he said i'm gonna be god unto [59:56] you and all your seed and i'm gonna make a covenant right keep going watch this we'll give unto you [60:02] and to the seed after you the land where you are a stranger or the land of canaan [60:08] for an everlasting possession and i will be their god uh-huh so it's the third time he promised him this land [60:13] right we didn't read the first time we skipped over it but he promised him to land one time in uh [60:19] and i think it was genesis 12 at the end of genesis 12 i think it was and then he promised in the land again in genesis 15 [60:27] and now he's promising the land again right here in genesis what are we 17 17 genesis chapter 17 right watch this and [60:34] god said unabraham you shall keep my covenant therefore you and your seed after you in their generations uh-huh [60:40] this is my covenant which you shall keep between me and you and your seed after you why should every man child among you [60:45] shall be circumcised every man child among you shall be circumcised everybody wonders where the circumcision come from [60:52] why do we do this some people just think oh it's just cuter or it's more healthy and all that maybe maybe not but we know [61:00] for sure what it came from is abraham this is a covenant that was set up with [61:05] abraham right keep going watch this and you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin and it shall be a token of the [61:11] covenant between me and you uh-huh and he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you every man child in [61:16] your generations he that is born in the house or bought with money of any stranger which is not of your seed [61:23] he that is born in your house and he that is brought bought with your money brought with your money must needs to be [61:29] circumcised and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant and the uncircumcised man child whose [61:35] flesh is in his foreskin is not circumcised that soul shall be cut off from his people he has broken my covenant and god [61:42] said unto abraham as for your as for sarah your wife you shall not call her name sarai but sarah shall be her name [61:48] watch this so now remember he's already had a child by the handmaid the handmaid [61:54] ran off handmade was told by angel to come back right and you know she's sharing that

me again [62:26] about the covenant we like yeah i finally got this seed he gonna make this boy great [62:32] right and we confirmed it because guess what the angel already told uh hagar that that the the boy would be a wild [62:39] man but he have all these nations he gonna dwell amongst his brethren right watch this [62:46] and god said unto abraham and i will bless her and give thee a son also of her yay i will bless her and she [62:52] shall be a mother of nations kings of people shall be of her right so he said [62:58] i'mma bless sarah gave her a new name called her sarah he said i'mma

ishmael his son and all that were born in his house and all that were [66:45] bought with his money every mail and every man every email among the men of abraham's house and what do you do to [66:51] god's the flesh of their foreskin he's circumcised any day as god has said unto him uh-huh keep going watch this abram [66:56] was 90 years old and nine and when he circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin uh-huh when he was circumcised in [67:03] ishmael his son was 13 years old when he was circumcised as the flesh of his foreskin and the self-same day was [67:08] abraham circumcised and ishmael his son and all the men of his house born in the house bought with money of the stranger [67:14] were circumcised with him that's a rough day that's a rough day keep going [67:22] what's that that's the end of 17 yeah let's get let's get the beginning of 18 we'll probably come back to it we don't [67:28] got to get it right now let's get the beginning at 18. let's just see what it say and the lord appeared unto him in the plains of memory and he sat in the [67:33] tent of the door at the heat of the day and he lift up his eyes and looked and lo three men stood by him and when he [67:39] saw them he ran to meet them from the tent door and bowed himself toward the ground look at that so now the most high [67:46] god appeared to him appearing to him in flesh [67:51] right in the form of three men right so it's three celestial beings [67:56] that's appeared to him abram abraham knew it he ran down and he [68:02] bowed down next week that's what we're gonna pick up and we're gonna talk about this event at this point abraham hasn't had his [68:09] second son yet all he has is uh ishmael but we're going to talk about highs that work out how does he end up getting his [68:15] second son and then the book is going to tell us how his second son ends up getting the name we already know what [68:20] his name will be but we haven't learned exactly the reason that is his name but it ties in it's gonna make sense [68:28] um yeah anyway
