it freely as a gift to all who obey him we understand that if [00:26] you do not obey him it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not believe [00:31] in this state you should expect no good thing from the most high however anything that you do get whether it be a gift of tongues a gift of Prophecy or [00:38] any Supernatural experience that you may have it can and it will be used against you in the day of judgment but that said [00:45] Peace to the saints that ear in the room to the saints that couldn't make it to the Saints watching on the camera and the saints that around the world

[01:55] let's uh let's recap so last week what did we talk about [02:01] what did we talk about last week what prophets did we talk [02:09] about what prophets did we speak [02:14] about there were two [02:20] prophets we talked about Ezekiel right a little bit about Ezekiel and we talked about who [02:28] else didn't we talk about [02:34] Jeremiah not David talked about Jeremiah and we talked about [02:41] Ezekiel right um one of the things we talked about with Jeremiah and Ezekiel [02:47] um as we talked about the New Covenant right we talked about remember Ezekiel said if we repent we'll be given a new [02:53] spirit and a new heart then we went to the uh Jeremiah and Jeremiah told us about the New Covenant [03:00] all right and he broke down the New Covenant for us and kind of let us know how how the most high god Set it forth [03:05] we talked about how Jeremiah prophesied that the New Covenant wouldn't be according to the Covenant that was made [03:11] with our fathers out in Horeb remember Horeb is Mount Si that's where uh that's where Moses was given the 10 words right [03:18] the Ten Commandments when we look at that that the way uh the word commandment was [03:23] translated there in Exodus is actually translated it's actually better translated as words [03:30] right so it's the 10 words or the the the 10 speeches that the most high God spoke he spoke it out of his own mouth [03:37] right and and uh Moses heard it people heard it and after a while the people [03:42] said you going up there and you hear from them you can bring it back down to us right the most high God told us it's [03:49] not going to be according to that Covenant he gonna make a New Covenant with us a new [03:56] Arrangement um so that's what we kind of looked into a little a little bit last week now we going to continue on who [04:03] remembers who our King is in the time frame that we're reading about who is our [04:11] King Jeremiah is the prophet right and the prophet is somebody that has a vision or a dream of the most high God [04:17] and they speak [04:22] right the guy who ate the honey the book very good but that's [04:28] that's uh eel but Ezekiel is also a prophet right [04:33] so he heard he had a vision and a dream he speaks of the most high God right but our King is [04:39] zedekiah right right now zedekiah and Nebuchadnezzar is the person he's he's like a Emperor right he got a whole [04:46] empire so he's a king also he's like the top King he's the right now the book considers him the King of Kings right [04:53] there a bunch of kings and he's a king over all the kings right so nebuch Nebuchadnezzar is the head hono right [04:59] now remember he took David not David Daniel um and Daniel and a lot of the [05:04] Hebrews is serving him right so everybody got to kind of bow down to Nebuchadnezzar he's ruling everything [05:11] zedekiah is a king in Jerusalem King in Judah right so let's go to Jeremiah [05:18] let's see how Jeremiah talk about zedekiah this is Jeremiah chapter 21 [05:24] let's do verse one jeremi IAH chap [05:31] 21 verse 1 a lot of the boys don't understand [05:38] this book and they make they make errors according to this book because they don't take the time to learn it some of the book is too [05:44] boring the only reason it's boring because they don't understand everything look the root of everything is not [05:50] understanding it I don't see how any of this book could be boring to you if you understand what you looking [05:58] at y y'all sit there and watch uh the movie what's the movie what's the

I be like n we [06:40] can't put that in that ain't in the book look man we got to sell some records we gotta sell some tickets we ain't got [06:46] time for that we got to tell the truth that's what the people lack the people lack truth everybody lying to [06:55] everybody you where Jeremiah CH 21 verse one took you long enough let's go [07:00] Jeremiah chapter 21 verse1 the word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh when King zedekiah sent unto [07:07] him passer the son of Maliah and Zephaniah the son of Messiah the priest [07:16] saying inquire I pray thee of Yahweh for us for nebuch hey why don't you talk to [07:22] Yahweh for us right he they asked them can you say something to Yahweh we need a word from him let's see keep going [07:33] for Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon makes war against us so be if so be that the [07:39] Lord will deal with us according to all his wondrous works that he may go up from [07:45] us right so he saiding listen Nebuchadnezzar keep messing with us he trying to make war with us so go ahead [07:51] and ask the most high God can he do some of his Wonder wonderful works so that Nebuchadnezzar leave us alone right [07:57] watch this keep going then said Jeremiah unto them thus shall you shall shall say to zedekiah thus says Yahweh God of [08:04] Israel behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands wherewith ye fight against the king of [08:10] Babylon and against the so now listen look listen to how they they went to the most high God they went to Jeremiah [08:18] asking him to speak to the most high God right they said listen can you inquire [08:24] of yah can you ask yah to make Nebuchadnezzar leave us Al Al to do one [08:31] of his wonderful works that we always read about and hear about and make zedekiah go away the most high guy [08:38] responded to him and said I'mma tell you what look this is what I'mma tell you I'mma make you and your weapons turn [08:46] back the weapons that you using against Nebuchadnezzar to fight against them so in other words the most high God said no [08:52] no no no no I'mma do a wonderful work against you as opposed to doing a wonderful work to help you right right [08:59] that's the response to they cry for help keep going behold I will turn back the [09:06] weapons of war that are in your hands wherewith you fight against the king of Babylon and against the calans which [09:12] besiege you out without the walls and I will assemble them into the midst of this city and I myself will fight [09:18] against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm even in anger and in Fury and in great wrath and I will [09:25] Smite the inhabitants of this city both man and Beast they shall die of a great pestilence and afterward shall sayith [09:33] the Lord I will deliver zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people and such as are left in his City from [09:39] the from the pestilence from The Sword and from the famine into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon and into [09:46] the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those that seek their life he shall Smite them with the edge of the [09:51] sword and he shall not spare them neither have pity nor have mercy and unto this people Thou shalt say thus [09:58] says yah behold I set before you the way of life and the way of death he that abides in [10:04] this city shall die by The Sword and famine and by pestilence right so who who whoever stays in the city you gonna [10:12] die by famine right and of pestilence right so he said I'm setting [10:17] before you the way of life and the way of death if you stay in this city that's the way of death watch this keep [10:24] going but he that goes out and falls to the calans that besiege you he shall live and his life shall be unto [10:31] him for a prey right but if you end up going and you fall before the the calans you fall in front of the calans then [10:39] you'll live and you gonna have your life as if it was like a like like it was a [10:44] uh like it was a prey like it was like a spoil of War like you want it right keep [10:53] going for I've set my face against this city for evil and not for good says Yahweh it [11:01] shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall burn it with fire and tou he shall do what burn it [11:07] with fire right the most high God is giving them hints for what's about to happen he's telling them the king of [11:13] Babylon is going to burn this city with fire understand our people haven't come [11:18] to terms yet with what's about to happen right we kind of like we kind of [11:23] in the city and we trying to fight a war right so Jeremiah is kind of speaking against that [11:30] war keep going watch [11:36] this and touching this house of the king of the king of Judah say hear the word [11:42] of the Lord oh House of David thus says Yahweh execute judgment in the morning and deliver him that is spoiled out of [11:48] the hand of the oppressor lest my Fury go out like fire and burn that none can quench it because the evil of your [11:55] doings behold I am against thee Oh inhabitant of the valley and rock of the plain says Yahweh which say who shall [12:02] come down against us or who shall enter into our habitation but I will punish you according to your fruit according to [12:09] the fruit of your doings says Yahweh and I will Kindle a fire and the forest thereof and it shall devour all things [12:14] round about it that's in yeah go to uh uh Ezekiel [12:24] chapter 24 it's Ezekiel chapter 24 verse uh [12:43] 1 at this point we are already at war with the king of uh King of Babylon with [12:51] Nebuchadnezzar right and so us being at war with the king of of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar we're we're trying to [12:58] find ways out of it so we went to to Jeremiah we looking like uh ask God yeah [13:04] I mean what are he going to do about this now mind you Jeremiah been telling us the whole time right we are going to [13:11] lose to Nebuchadnezzar if you give yourself over it's going to be good for you if you resist it you GNA mess around [13:18] and die he's been telling this and repeating this to us but we don't believe it because that's strange right [13:24] this is we the people of God this is the city of the most high God this is his Temple [13:29] his Temple lives here there's no way that the most high God that gave us a law that said our Temple cannot be [13:35] defiled and any stranger that goes into it shall you know what I'm saying shall be put to death right all these laws [13:42] that we have it doesn't make sense to us that the most high God would let this King come over here and just wal in so [13:49] we struggling with all the words that Jeremiah is telling us it's like I don't know if that makes sense but he's giv [13:55] certain prophecies to Jeremiah just letting them know yo the city going to be be destroyed Nebuchadnezzar going to set it [14:01] on fire we haven't really come to terms with oh we about to lose our Temple right that hasn't really occurred to us [14:08] yet right what Ezekiel chapter 24 verse [14:16] one bless you thank let's see what the book say again [14:21] in the ninth year of the 10th month and the 10th day of the month the word of Yahweh came unto me saying son of man [14:27] write Thee the name of the day even this same day the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day right so [14:35] you can see the same thing on this day that he's writing writing this the king of Babylon is fighting against Jerusalem [14:41] right now right so he's circling the city again remember he did this with [14:47] jeanah right jeanah he did the exact same thing he set himself around he take [14:53] took jeanah and he carried him off so now the same thing has happened in zedekiah [14:59] he's circling around on this day the most high God told Ezekiel he like yeah this day he's setting himself against [15:05] him write it down write the name of this day down he telling them to document the fact that today starts the [15:11] end right keep going watch this and utter utter a parable against [15:19] the rebellious house and say unto them thus says y God set on a pot set it on [15:25] and also pour water into it gather the pieces there into it every good piece [15:31] the thigh the shoulder fill it with the choice bones take the choice of the flock and [15:39] burn also the bones under it and make it boil well and let them see the bones of [15:45] it therein therefore right so listen he's saying take take a [15:52] pot put water in the pot put a fire under the pot and use the bone to fuel [15:59] the fire right so you take you take bones of a of a sheep or a lamb use [16:04] those bones to fuel the fire and then take the best pieces of the meat right including the bones [16:13] everything and put it inside of the pot in other words you boiling this meat you [16:18] boiling a lamb or a goat or you know what I'm saying you just boiling it watch this keep [16:24] going wherefore thus says Yahweh God woe to the bloody to the pot whose scum is [16:30] therein and whose scum is not gone out of it bring it out piece by piece let no Lot Fall upon [16:36] it for her blood is in the midst of her she she set it upon the top of a rock [16:42] she poured it not upon the ground to cover it with dust that it might cause Fury to come up to take Vengeance I have [16:50] set her blood upon the top of a rock that it should not be covered therefore thus says Yahweh God wo to the bloody [16:56] City I will even make the pile for fire great keep on wood Kindle the [17:02] fire consume the Flesh and spice it well and let the bones be burnt then set it empty upon the coals thereof that the [17:09] brass of it may be hot and May and may burn and that the filthiness of it may [17:14] be molten in it that the scum of it may be consumed she has wearied herself with [17:21] lies and her great scum went went not forth out of her her scum shall be in [17:27] the fire and the f filthiness is lewdness in thy filthiness is loudness [17:32] because I have purged thee and thou was not purged Thou shalt not be purged from thy [17:50] filessvg thee sayth yah God all right so now Ezekiel gave a had to give a [17:56] prophecy about making it hot for the people he gave them a picture of you sitting here and you boiling meat inside [18:03] of a pot until all the water is boiled up and everything just burning and all the filth that's inside of the pot from [18:10] it burning and it turning black and and and and just burning away it just keeps burning and burning he said until it [18:16] becomes molten so everything is melting the pot is melting everything it's just burning burning burning that's how hot it's [18:23] getting right he said and I'm not going to turn back I'm not going to turn away in other words oh it's about to [18:30] happen right keep going watch this and also the word of Yahweh came unto me saying son of man behold I take away [18:37] from Thee the desire of thine eyes with a with a stroke right watch what he said he said with a stroke I take away from [18:45] Thee the desire of thine eyes so in other words like this instantly right [18:53] instantly when it say with a stroke instantly right I out of nowhere I'm [18:59] taking away from you the desire of your eyes he's talking to the prophet Ezekiel [19:04] watch this yet neither shall thy mourn nor weep neither shall thy tears run down [19:11] for right he told Ezekiel when I take away the desire of your eyes you can't [19:16] mourn in other words you can't cry about it you can't weep right you can't take time to think [19:24] about it and be like you know what I'm saying be sad about he said you don't have to time for that you can't weep you [19:30] can't cry don't let no tears drop this is what he's telling Ezekiel right y'all think I'm bad when I [19:36] tell y'all stop all that crying right he told a grown man I'mma take the desire [19:41] of your eyes take it away from you in an instant and you can't cry about it don't [19:48] spend no time soaking don't spend no time feeling bad about it keep it moving [19:53] watch this keep going forbear to cry make no mourning for the Dead bind the [19:59] tire of thine head upon thee and put on thy shoes upon thy feet and cover not [20:04] thy lips and eat not bread eat not the bread of men so I spake unto the people in the morning and at the and at evening [20:11] my wife died and I did in the morning look what he said he said in the morning he spoke to the [20:17] people most high God didn't tell them exactly what was about to happen he just said I'mma take away the desire y [20:23] ey right so he got up in the morning he started speaking to the people and then guess what [20:29] book say his wife died in the even in an instant boom just like that just like he [20:35] said in a stroke she gonna be taken away and his wife died that's his [20:41] wife that's the desire of his eye book say he couldn't even mourn [20:47] about it you know what I'm saying you know one of us die guess what we gonna [20:53] do we going to mour we got have a funeral we going mess around have a funeral you know what I'm saying [20:59] somebody going you know what I'm saying some lying preacher goingon to get up there and start teaching you know what I'm saying telling lies and doing all [21:04] this other stuff we going to have a funeral and we gonna cry and we gonna remember the good times right and we G [21:11] we GNA try to use whatever use that motivation to carry on whatever Legacy is Left Behind Ezekiel couldn't do that most [21:19] high God told Ezekiel you can't do that he said don't cry about it don't take no time to mourn you better keep that hat [21:27] on your darn head and put your darn shoes on in other words keep moving [21:32] watch this keep going and I did in the morning as I was commanded and the people said unto me [21:39] will you not tell us what these things are to us that thou doest so right so [21:44] the people can look at him they like bro your wife died and he just keep it moving he ain't [21:51] crying about it so they like oh this must mean something because remember Ezekiel is already known remember [21:57] Ezekiel don't talk right so Ezekiel don't talk at all unless the word of the most high God [22:02] coming out of his mouth so everybody already look at Ezekiel and they looking like anything he do is kind of like you [22:08] got to pay attention to what he doing so then they see his wife die and they see he don't even mourn [22:15] for he just got to keep it pushing they looking like can you tell us what this mean [22:22] because remember he can't talk so this happens he's not talking to nobody [22:28] and he's just keeping them moving don't cry don't nothing but they ain't hearing no word of God from him either they [22:34] looking like can you just tell us what it mean because they know once they hear they know the only time he talk is when he telling the word of the most high God [22:40] so they trying to see what it is let's see keep [22:45] going then I answered them the word of Yahweh came unto me saying speak to the house of Israel thus says the Lord God [22:52] behold I will profane My Sanctuary the Excellency of your strength the desire of your eyes eyes and in that which your [23:00] soul hith and your sons and your daughters whom you have left shall fall [23:05] By The Sword and ye and ye shall do as I have done ye shall not cover your lips [23:11] nor eat the bread of men and your tires shall be upon your head and your shoes [23:17] upon your feet you shall not mourn nor weep but ye shall Pine away for your iniquities and mourn one tows one [23:24] towards another thus so he told us he gonna take away our Temple he going to take away our city right and from there [23:32] we ain't even going to have time to mourn so he says everything you see me doing it's gonna be [23:38] y'all all right keep [23:43] going and ye shall do as I have done ye shall not cover your lips nor eat the bread of men your ti shall be upon your [23:50] head and your shoes upon your feet ye shall not mourn nor weep but ye shall Pine away for your iniquities and mourn [23:56] one towards another th thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign according to all that [24:01] that he has done shall ye do and when he when this comes ye shall know that I am [24:06] Yahweh God also thou son of man shall not be in the day shall it not be in the [24:13] day when I take from them their strength the joy of their Glory the desire of their eyes and that whereupon they set [24:19] their minds their sons and their daughters that he that escapethe to cause thee to hear it with [24:26] thine ears in that day shall thy mouth be open to him which is escaped and thou [24:31] shalt speak and be no more dumb Thou shalt not Thou shalt be a sign unto them that they shall know that I am Yahweh [24:39] right so so the most high God told Ezekiel he said listen on the day that I do this in other words on the day that [24:45] the temple is destroyed I'mma send somebody and they gonna come and they gonna tell you that it's destroyed [24:50] because you know somebody gonna be Fred like I just came from Jerusalem it's destroyed bro it's all gone I'm telling [24:57] you that they just knock the whole thing over lit it on fire man right Ezekiel going to be sitting there cuz he can't [25:03] talk so Ezekiel going to be sitting there like trying to you know what I'm saying [25:08] communicate without words after he tell them the book say most high God told him [25:14] after you hear that you gonna be able to talk you no longer gonna be you know what I'm saying mute you no longer gonna [25:20] be deaf not deaf in s but you you goingon to be a right and then after that that's [25:27] supposed to be a signed to all the people so all the people that was walking around all this time and couldn't see him talk and all of a [25:32] sudden now he talk that was supposed to be a sign to the people like man this boy was the real one that's exactly how [25:39] he said it was gonna happen right because he could only talk when he was given the word of the most high [25:44] God right watch this keep [25:52] going the word of the Lord came to me that was the end yeah that was it so [25:58] let's go back to Jeremiah this is uh Jeremiah let's do chapter [26:09] 37 Jeremiah chapter 37 oh okay Jeremiah CH 37 [26:19] verse1 yes s s sister P now he don't play he don't play a lot of people [26:25] running their mouth talking about they want to be a prophet [26:31] right exal they self to be prophets they come with a cost and come with a [26:37] sacrifice there's a lot of stuff that y'all got to understand it's like we we you know say you got to remember when [26:43] the sons of zebede was talking to yahua right talking about James and John [26:49] when they spoke to yahushua you know what they said to him I want to sit at your right [26:56] hand right y'all responded to him he was like man you don't even know what you asking [27:01] for right you don't even know what you asking for but to do something like that you got to make a sacrifice that's why [27:07] he said he said are you gonna be baptized with the baptism I'm gonna be baptized [27:13] with right he talking about the sa yashua was talking about the sacrifice that he was about to have to make yahua [27:19] made the ultimate sacrifice and did it clean right we take days off sometime we [27:27] be having a bad day and just like man I'm about to sin I'm about to give in to my lust I'm about to give in to this [27:32] right I'm sad that things ain't going the way that I want them to and people are being mean to me or people it don't feel [27:38] fair right we say that stuff that's what's [27:43] happening so we get emotional about these different things that's going on in our life and then we take it easy or [27:50] we just outright sin or rebel against God yahua couldn't do that he had to be [27:57] strict and focus his entire life do the whole thing correctly he had to do the [28:03] whole thing correctly couldn't have no missteps we walk around we indulge [28:10] oursel something happen we give oursel an excuse to just sin or make ourself Feelgood with something that's [28:16] unrighteous right yahu on the other hand strict [28:24] straightforward he don't get mad and make himself feel better by cussing by [28:31] lying right he don't get bad about making somebody else feel [28:38] bad no what he got to do he got to keep it together everything on [28:45] him he can't get nothing the easy way everything got to go through the Narrow [28:50] Path and he walk it and he keep walking and he focus and people trying to [28:56] distract him and he stay focus and at the very end after doing [29:02] everything he's supposed to do guess what I got to take the penalty of a [29:08] sinner I got to get treated like a sinner my whole life I ain't never seen [29:14] my entire life but everybody walking around looking like I'm a drunker looking like I'm a gluttonous [29:20] like I'm greedy my whole life I give to everybody [29:26] and yahua he said they're giving to everybody his entire life and people [29:31] treat him like he's the scum they poking at him questioning [29:38] them right constantly and at the very end of that after upholding righteousness after [29:45] doing everything he's supposed to do after doing everything that the most high God asked for him he got to get [29:50] nailed to a cross spit on slapped humiliated in front of all these [29:56] people hung up on the cross until he died and suffered they stabbed a man in the darn side let him bleed [30:07] out then they take the darn man down after nailing him to the Cross they take his butt down and just throw him inside [30:14] of a tomb well that's a [30:19] sacrifice so of course the man that make that sacrifice is going to be the king [30:26] of because he made the ultimate sacrifice it's a lot of time we be running our darn mouth I want to be a [30:33] prophet and call exalting theyself to Apostles I wish God would speak to me I [30:38] wish God would show me a miracle do you understand these are the things that comes with [30:44] sacrifice if he gave it to you you gonna have to give up something this world got our minds warp [30:52] that's why he said he said he come to me and don't hate your mother your father [30:57] even your own life not worthy to be my disciple absolutely right you got to be [31:05] ready to give up everything not just some things not just the things that [31:11] yeah I don't really feel too much everything you got to be able to put yourself in the mindset that nothing no [31:18] matter how much you like it or love it will come between you and the most high God cuz as soon as you are not prepared [31:24] for that thought guess what Satan [31:30] attacking right so that's why you can see a prophet like Ezekiel has already [31:36] prepared itself mentally he's listening to the most high God the man had to sit on his side for for 390 days then on the [31:45] other side for 40 days he's already made sacrifices then [31:51] you got to get up you can't talk most high God to I've been able to talk my whole life if I'm Ezekiel [31:58] Ezekiel he been able to talk his entire life the man is a [32:03] priest then all of a sudden most high God come to you and say you can't talk no more until I tell you to talk you [32:11] walk around just regular Day stuff you want to say hi to somebody you can't even get it out no [32:17] more every morning your routine is to come out say hi you know what I'm saying [32:23] make you a little pot of coffee you know what I'm saying water your plants he got his whole routine right talk to your [32:29] neighbors so he doing everything his routine is and then guess what when it come time to talk to the neighbors I can't do [32:35] it can't do it only time I can talk is when the most high God give me a prophecy that's a sacrifice that you got [32:42] to make that's a sacrifice we're not prepared y'all willing we gonna be [32:49] prepared but we are not prepared to make the sacrifices that's necessary for us to make and not being prepared and being [32:56] entitled than feeling like God ought to do this for me or God ought to do you understand that nothing in this [33:05] life right we are we shouldn't look at anything in this life and feel like we [33:10] entitled to it if we righteous the only thing we should expect is that we die and get [33:18] resurrected right but it's the things that we have in this life that tempt Us in the damn [33:24] nation and that's what we got to change we got got to set ourselves up to be willing to give up everything in this [33:30] life everything in this life and once we got that mindset ain't nothing going to [33:36] happen right that's why Ezekiel he told Ezekiel he said man I'mma take away the you know what I'm saying I'mma take away [33:41] the desire of your eye and that even his wife died she darn [33:48] we right it's tough it's [33:54] tough cuz it take a man of God to be able to to take something like that be able to do that and still be faithful to [34:01] the man man tell you what's about to happen you still got to be faithful to the man he said you can't even cry about [34:08] that thing don't even shed a tear about that thing keep mve [34:14] it wife ain't got nothing to do with none of this foolishness your wife rightous you know [34:21] what I'm saying your wife follow your lead she righteous she ain't doing none of the foolishness that they doing over [34:26] there in the land nevertheless I'm taking your wife Ezekiel only if you entitled only if you [34:34] entitled and your mindset is I deserve my wife my wife my wife don't deserve that [34:41] right if your mind is entitled like that then okay you gonna rebel against the most high God but when you when you [34:47] settle in your mind the truth and the truth is I ain't entitled to nothing here most high guy asked a question who [34:56] who uh who by worrying can add an ounce of Life what do he say who by worrying can add can add uh a day to his life or [35:04] an hour to his life or something who who by worrying can add an inch to his stature right you can't change nothing [35:12] you can't yeah you can't change nothing you didn't ask to be here you just here and that's [35:19] it so it's like none of this is promised to you none of this that that we got around us is promised to [35:25] us matter of fact everything that's promised us revolves around [35:31] death everything we get got to come in the resurrection and if that's our mindset then we not entitled we [35:36] understand everything here is temporary okay I'm just passing through [35:41] what do I got to do to get to the part that's not temporary how do I get into the Kingdom right this is Jeremiah chapter [35:48] 37 give me verse one and King zedekiah the son of Josiah [35:53] reigned instead of konah the son of jeim who NE Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon [35:58] made King in the land of Judah but neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land did hearken unto the [36:04] words of Yahweh which he spake by the Prophet Jeremiah he telling them zedekiah nor his servants nor the people [36:11] of the land none of them paid attention to what uh Jeremiah was talking about [36:17] all this time all these prophecy we've been reading none of them have been paying attention to what he's saying [36:23] Jeremiah is talking to the boys they ripping his book up and throw in the fire they slapping the man they keep [36:29] putting him in and out of prison all this stuff is happening and he about to go back to we about to read it he about [36:34] to go back to prison watch it keep going zedekiah the king sent jeuk the [36:40] son of sheliah and Zephaniah the son [36:45] ofah the priest to the Prophet Jeremiah saying pray now unto Yahweh Our God for us now Jeremiah came in and went out [36:53] among the people for they had not put him into prison then pharaoh Army was come forth out of Egypt and when the [36:59] calans had besieged Jerusalem heard Jerusalem heard Tidings of them they [37:05] departed from Jerusalem then came the word of the Lord unto Jer unto Pro the Prophet Jeremiah saying wait hold on so [37:13] look they asked again Jeremiah just like before when we read they come to Jeremiah and they like yo you know what [37:19] I'm saying why don't you talk to God for us and uh you know what I'm saying get him to um to have the king of Babylon to [37:26] turn away from us you know what I'm saying leave us alone do one of your wondrous works you remember Jeremiah [37:31] came back to him like no I'mma turn y'all away from Nebuchadnezzar and y'all [37:37] gonna be the ones that lose I'mma fight against my own people is what y'all was saying right so now they did the same [37:44] thing they came back a little later it look like okay okay give us a break you know what I'm saying talk to the most [37:49] high God and just see if he'll give us a little bit of relief and all of a sudden the king of Egypt came [37:57] so the king of Egypt is down to the south of us he came up trying to fight against Nebuchadnezzar and so when the [38:04] people that was besieging us remember when we say besiege or Siege it's because they circling around our walls [38:11] and they beating down our walls and they blocking everything off so we ain't got no food that's coming in or [38:17] out right and it's starting to get tough so when they do that they siing us [38:24] then all of a sudden you hear about uh the king of Egypt the Pharaoh so Pharaoh [38:30] come up and he about to fight the calans hear of it the calans are the king the Babylonians right they hear about it and [38:36] they looking like uh let's get some reinforcements so they [38:42] leave right so when they leave how you think we [38:47] feel we feeling like okay we might got a chance right cuz they about ready to [38:54] beat us up they about ready to get us then all a sudden they just leave we don't really know why but they just [38:59] leave watch this then came the word of the Lord unto the Prophet Jeremiah [39:06] saying thus says the Lord God of Israel thus shall you say to the king of Judah that sent you unto me to inquire of me [39:13] behold Pharaoh's Army which has come forth to help you shall return to Egypt in their own land the caldan shall come [39:20] again and fight against this city and take it and burn it with fire thus says Yahweh deceive not yourselves saying the [39:26] calans shall surely depart from us for they shall not depart for though you have smitten the whole Army of the [39:32] calans that fight against you and there remain but wounded men among them yet should they rise up every [39:39] man in his tent and burn the city with fire and it came to pass that when the army of the calans was broken up from [39:45] Jerusalem for fear Pharaoh's Army that Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to separate [39:52] himself there in the midst of the people and when he was in the the Gate of Benjamin a captain of the ward was there [39:59] whose name was Elijah the son of shelemiah the son of [40:04] haniah and he took Jeremiah the prophet saying thou fallest away to the [40:10] calans Jeremiah so now look at what you have to pay attention to what Jeremiah's been saying this whole time Jeremiah [40:16] saying yo everybody look just give yourself over to the calans give yourself over to the Babylonians if you [40:23] do this you'll live that's been his message this entire time but jerem [40:28] Jeremiah hasn't gone anywhere because the most high God is telling Jeremiah to stay there and keep prophesying to the [40:34] people as long as they there right so now Jeremiah as soon as he saw a [40:40] break right he saw an opening because they was besieging us so we couldn't get [40:46] out all of a sudden the calans they kind of took a break they walked away so then Jeremiah said man I'm going up to [40:52] Benjamin then to kind of get out of Jerusalem so they on his way to Jerusalem I mean to Benjamin then one of [41:00] the uh one of the soldiers grabbed him well who was he he wasn't a soldier or he was a soldier but what kind of what [41:05] did it say a general he was the captain of the war like the warden of the jail like captain of the jail yeah so you had [41:12] the captain he he gaffled him up and he said yo you trying to go and give yourself [41:19] over and fall away to the Babylonians in other words he called them a [41:24] traitor right so he grab them up watch this and Jeremiah said it is false I [41:31] fall not away to the calans but he hearkened not to him so Elijah took Jeremiah and brought him into the [41:37] brought him to the princes when they say princes it's talking about the rulers right so he [41:42] brought him to the rulers and what happened the princes were wroth with Jeremiah and smote him and put him in [41:48] prison in the house of Jonathan the Scribe for they had made that the prison when Jeremiah was entered into [41:54] the dungeon into the cabins and Jeremiah had remained there many days zedekiah [42:00] the king sent and took him out the king asked him secretly in his house and said is there any word from [42:08] Yahweh and Jeremiah said there is for said he Thou shalt be delivered into the [42:14] hand of the king of Babylon moreover Jeremiah said unto the king zedekiah [42:19] what have I offended against thee or against thy servants or against this people that you have put me in prison [42:25] where are now so now zedekiah snuck to him now that he found that he is in a in a in a in jail locked up zedekiah S [42:33] snuck to him like look man are you hearing anything from the most high and so Jeremiah's looking like are [42:40] y'all crazy I've been telling y'all the same thing for years you are about to be [42:45] given over to the king of Babylon like that's not changing then after he told [42:51] him that he was like but what you got against me that you put me in here like I did something [42:57] wrong right watch this where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you [43:02] saying the king of Babylon shall not come against you nor against this land therefore here now I pray thee oh my [43:08] Lord the king let my supplication I pray thee be accepted before thee that thou cause me not to return to the house of [43:15] Jonathan The Scribe lest I die there then zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit commit Jeremiah into [43:21] the court of the prison and that they should give him daily piece of bread out of the Baker Street until all the bread [43:28] in the city were spent thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison right so remember the resources is [43:33] scarce because we can't just go out and get resources or trade with other nations or countries and everything so [43:40] everything we have is just what's stored up or what we can produce inside of our own Gates so he's saying okay Jeremiah [43:49] is like man I'm mess around and die the way y'all be treating me in the prison so zedekiah was like okay make sure he [43:54] get Daily Bread until we run out of bread right so you can imagine that you [44:00] know zedekiah is holding on to all the resources and making sure that certain people get the resources and that it [44:07] don't get spent up so now he's allocated resources to Jeremiah while he's in [44:12] prison just to make sure he keep him alive so it was a it was a show of Mercy on him right he Ain necessarily let him [44:18] free he ain't supposed to be in jail but as long as he in jail I at least make sure you get fed all right keep [44:25] going [44:30] then shefah the son of Matan and galiah the son of paser and jall the son of [44:37] sheliah and paser the son of melayah heard the words of Jer heard the words [44:42] that Jeremiah spoken unto all the people saying thus says Yahweh he that remain in this city shall die by the sword by [44:49] famine or by pestilence but he that goes forth to the caldan shall live for he shall have his life for a prey and shall [44:55] live thus says the Lord this city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of babylon's army which shall take [45:01] it therefore the prin said unto the king we beseech thee let this man be put to [45:06] death for thus he weaken the hands of the man of war and remain what he weaken [45:12] at the hands of the men of War right this is their charge against he said put [45:17] him to death because we are at War right now and he's making the people that have [45:23] to fight for us to try to save our nation he make them feel wrong for fighting [45:28] against them which weakens them right and you got to look at it from their point of view there this is [45:35] our n we in America right we in America we love America right this is our nation [45:41] this is our city our house we work hard you know what I'm saying everything we got here we own and you got the darn [45:49] Russians that think they got the nerve to come in here and drop bombs on us [45:55] right right the Russians is talking about how they going to destroy America and China [46:01] is going to talk about how they going to destroy America what so you know what you know what America's reaction would [46:06] be at that point right America's reaction would be I don't no I'm sending [46:12] my son to the military a matter of fact I'll go fight for [46:17] myself right that's what happened what happened after 9/11 you know what I mean people was [46:23] hyped after them plain f into the building and then they said the people [46:28] in the Middle East did it Saddam Hussein got weapons of mass destruction he's [46:34] behind all this stuff you know how many people were excited to say you know what [46:40] I'm signing up for the military today because you look at that and you [46:45] say my home is under attack I'mma fight [46:50] back so that's the same mindset of our people in in Judah we look looking like [46:56] our home is under attack against this raggedy Gentile this pork eaten darn [47:02] nasty dirty foot Gentile gonna kick in our Temple and take the artifacts out of [47:09] it and take it back to his land and they took the LA they they handled the last three kings we had they think they about [47:16] to do this to us they making us pay tribute to they unclean [47:23] Kingdom in our mind this is Ridiculousness so of course we want to [47:30] fight but then you got one guy every all the prophets everybody is saying we can [47:37] fight we can win things are going to go great but you got this one guy there's [47:44] one guy that's saying Noah y'all should give up turn yourself over you'll live if you [47:52] fight you going to die and he from the same place we are this his home like [47:59] us of course what you going to do is you going to look at him and say bro you a Traer that's why when he tried to go to [48:05] Benjamin they looking like you fall away to the caldan and another when it say fall away he saying he's saying you [48:11] trading on us right you g you gonna trade and you gonna go over there and work for the calans you a [48:18] spy right and then now they looking at him and they trying to make a case against him and say by the stuff he's [48:24] saying he weakening our hands the people that's we encouraging people like man look we can do this if we go and we line [48:32] up in this order and we swing our swords keep our shields in front of us we can do it we can win this war hyping each [48:38] other up and then you got somebody to come along like if y'all fight y'all gonna die don't do it matter of fact [48:44] just give yourself over it's gonna be all right you'll live if you give yourself over right but giving oursel over mean [48:52] we got to lose everything we got to lose our our house we got to lose our kingdom we got to [48:57] lose our Temple our stuff is going to be defiled there's no way that God you got to imagine how these people are [49:03] rationalized and stuff there's no way God want us to let a gentile defile our Temple imagine how these boys would be [49:09] talking today this Negro logic that these boys got today this stuff is ridic no man [49:16] brother that that'll never work you can't do that because God will never want you to blah blah blah the boy be [49:22] coming up their own darn Logic for what God want everything except reading what the book [49:27] say you don't think it was like that back then they doing the same thing they looking like no no man God never want us [49:33] to you know what I'm saying not fight that don't even make sense his Temple is here the same Temple that you've been [49:40] disrespecting because you a sinner keep going watch [49:51] this in speaking such words unto them for this man see seeks not the Warfare [49:56] of the people but the hurt then zedekiah the king said [50:02] behold he is in your hand for the king is not he that can do anything against [50:09] you then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malaya the son of H [50:17] HC hamc that was in the court of the prison and they let down Jeremiah with [50:23] cords and in the dungeon there was no water but me so Jeremiah sunk into the [50:29] Meer now when Eed MC the Ethiopian one of the Unix which was in the King's [50:35] house heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon the king then sitting in [50:40] the gate of Benjamin Eed MC went forth out of the King's house and spake unto [50:45] the king saying my Lord the king these men has done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they [50:51] have cast into the dungeon and he is like to die for Hunger in the in the place where he is for there is no more [50:58] bread in the city then the king commanded eat MC the Ethiopian saying [51:04] take from here 30 men with thee and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he died so EAD MC took [51:10] the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury and took from there old cast cloths and old [51:17] rotten rags and let them down by cords into the dungeon of Jeremiah nead meac [51:23] the Ethiopians said un Jeremiah but now these old cast cloths and rotten Rags [51:28] under thine arm arm holes under the cords Jeremiah did so so they drew up [51:34] Jeremiah with the cords and took him up out of the dungeon and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison right so now [51:41] when they wanted to kind of put Jeremiah to death you know what I'm saying they look like no put him to death man that [51:46] boy don't you know what I'm saying he weakened in the hands of the people he's speaking to our hurt he ain't looking for our well-being he ain't trying to [51:52] see this in other words they saying he ain't trying to see us win he want us to lose right put him to death if you know [52:00] NE Nebuchadnezzar is trying to kill all us and you got somebody to saying yeah let him kill him right meanwhile we out [52:06] here trying to say hey what can we do to live he working against our cause he ought to die right that's how they [52:12] looking at it so then they said uh the uh zedekiah was looking at like all right man well what this got to do with [52:18] me you know what I'm saying I can't do nothing to you so go ahead and kill him right so then the way they decided [52:26] to do it they said let's go to this dungeon and this dungeon is so deep that you can't climb out of it so they let [52:33] them down into the dungeon and then it ain't no food ain't no water ain't nothing down there and they just gonna [52:39] let them sit there and rot and die like uh what's Meer it's kind of like it's kind of like like poop or like like just [52:47] like uh what you find in gutters like like real nasty waste yeah nasty yeah [52:52] poop and stuff Maness pool they let him down in there [52:59] he's stuck in that stuff just sitting in it and then the Ethiopian run he heard about it Ethiopian run to the king like [53:06] man look you can't let this happen man gonna die right zakai was like man go get go [53:13] get 30 of them boy because it's a deep it's a deep pit they got to pull them up so you ain't gonna just be able to do it [53:18] with a couple people that's that's that's the only way it work in the movies right in the movies you'll just see somebody falling off a cliff you [53:25] know what I'm saying and they catch him at the last minute and hanging on like this that's fake ain't nobody gonna be able to be nobody gonna be strong enough [53:31] to do no foolishness like that right just hold a person like that and then pull them up you know what I'm saying [53:37] that's not happening right so they took 30 people they strung together and made something [53:44] like a rope and let it down and then they pulled them up you know what I'm [53:49] saying let them in I mean let them free well not free they they pulled them up and then they put them in a different [53:54] jail you know what I'm saying they that one too rough for you let's put him put him back in the the previous jail right [54:01] keep [54:08] going what was that okay then zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry [54:15] that is in the house of the Lord the king said unto Jeremiah I will ask the a thing hide nothing from me then Jeremiah [54:22] said unto zedekiah if I declare it to thee will thou not surely put me to death and if I give thee counsel will [54:30] thy not hearken unto me all right so he said listen he said look what are my options zedekiah coming to him again [54:36] like look just talk to me zedekiah keep coming to him because remember it's crunch time now and zedekiah ain't [54:43] really got no more prophets left that that lied to him right so he just trying [54:48] to hope for something different out of Jeremiah so he's looking like he looking like okay look just just talk to me you [54:56] know what I'm saying tell me something so then Jeremiah looking at her like okay let me ask you a question [55:03] you know what I mean if I tell you the truth ain't you gonna kill [55:09] me and if I give you some advice are you even gonna listen to [55:14] me right keep going watch this zedekiah the king swear secret [55:22] Jemiah saying as the Lord lives that us I will not put thee to death neither [55:28] will I give thee into the hand of those men that seek thy life then said Jeremiah unto zedekiah thus says Yahweh [55:34] the god of hosts the god of Israel if thou will assuredly go forth unto the king of babylon's princes then thy Soul [55:42] shall live and this city shall not be burnt with fire and thou shalt not live [55:47] in thine house but if thou will not go forth to the king of babylon's princes [55:52] then shall this city be given into the hand of of the calans they shall burn it with fire and thou shalt not Escape out [55:59] of their hand and zedekiah the King said unto Jeremiah I am afraid of the Jews that are Fallen to the calans lest they [56:06] deliver me into their hand and they mock me but Jeremiah said they shall not deliver thee obey I beseech Thee the [56:14] voice of Yahweh which I speak unto thee so it shall be well unto thee and thy Soul shall live but if you refuse to go [56:21] forth this is the word that Yahweh has showed me behold all all the women that are left in the king of judah's house [56:27] shall be brought forth to the king of babylon's princes and those women shall say thy friends have set thee on and [56:34] have prevailed against thee thy feet are sunk into the m and they are turned away [56:41] back so so they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the calans [56:46] Thou shalt not Escape out of their hand but sh be taken by by the hand of the king of Babylon and thou shalt cause [56:52] this city to be burnt with fire and zedi then said zedekiah unto Jeremiah let no [56:59] man know of these words and thou shalt not die but if the prince is here that I have talked with thee and they come unto [57:04] thee and say unto thee declare unto us now what you have said unto the king hide it not from us and we will not put [57:10] thee to death also what the king said unto thee then Thou shalt say unto them I presented my supplication before the [57:17] king that he would not caus me to return to Jonathan's house to die there then came all the princes unto Jeremiah and [57:23] asked him and and he told them according to all the words that the king had commanded so [57:29] they left off speaking with him for the matter was not perceived so Jeremiah abow in the court of the prison until [57:34] the day that Jerusalem was taken and he was there when Jerusalem was taken he was there when when Jerusalem was [57:41] taken right so you can see Jeremiah tried to leave he tried to get out of [57:46] there right but the most high God set it up they like no no no no no I need your butt to stay there until the last man is [57:53] there so Jeremiah ended up being there when it was taken right zedekiah was [57:58] talking to him while he was in prison trying to get something out of him he didn't get what he wanted to get what he wanted right Jeremiah just told him the [58:05] same thing like listen you got to turn yourself in you got to go trust me you'll be all right if you do right then [58:12] zedekiah was looking like man if I do that man the boy is gonna look at me like I trade you know what I'm saying the boys [58:19] gonna have my head they gonna mess around and kill me so now you can kind of see how to plot [58:25] is giving you a little bit more context of what's going on zedekiah is not conflicted because he internally is [58:32] consciously evil or rebellious to God he's conflicted because he's scared of his own people he's scared of being [58:40] overthrown he's scared of losing his his his his position he knows that these [58:46] boys just like when they came to came about Jeremiah a little bit earlier they came to Jeremiah and they looking like [58:52] no man zedekiah we should kill this boy and zedekiah's response was well I [58:58] can't do nothing to you so y'all you know I'm saying you do it them what you will he's scared of his [59:06] people he's scared of the people that's around him so you can see that there's [59:12] contention right within Israel there's contention within our own people our own [59:19] people is fighting against each other because it's getting tight there's a group of people that's [59:25] just like man I'mma go join the Babylonians and some of them did and [59:31] there's another group of people that's like never and I'mma kill any Hebrew that say some foolishness like that so [59:38] zedekiah looking like they're going to kill me themselves so after he got done talking [59:43] to uh Jeremiah he told him don't tell anybody about what we talked [59:50] about sure enough the rulers came afterwards and they came and asked like man what y'all talk about Jeremiah [59:57] couldn't tell them he couldn't tell them the full story of what they talked about right keep [60:05] going in the ninth year of zedekiah king of Judah in the 10th month came Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon and all [60:12] his Army against Jerusalem and they besieged [60:17] it in the 11th year of zedekiah in the fourth month the ninth day of the month [60:22] the city was broken up and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate even NE nural [60:31] Sherer Shamar Nebo shikim shkim and RAB sarus nural sharzer [60:40] rap magag with all the residue of the peoples of the princes of the king of Babylon and it came to pass that when [60:47] zedekiah the king of Juda saw them and all the men of War then they fled and went forth out of the city By Night by [60:54] the way of the King's Garden by the gate between the two walls and he went out of [60:59] the way of the plain but the caldan Army pursued after them and overtook zedekiah [61:04] and the plains of Jericho when they had taken him they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon to ribla [61:10] in the land of HTH where he gave judgment upon him then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Jed zedekiah in [61:18] riah before his eyes and also the king of Babylon slew all the Nobles of Judah whover he put out zedi eyes and bound [61:25] him with chains to carry him to Babylon and the calans burnt the King's house and the houses of the people with fire [61:32] and Break Down The Walls of Jerusalem the neb neb zaran the captain of the Guard carried [61:38] away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city and those that fell away and fell to him and [61:46] the rest so all the ones that fell away those are the people that that joined the Babylonians right like okay we give [61:52] up right we give up then the ones that fought they got taken [61:58] captive if they didn't die right if they didn't get killed so all the people that was left the book say everybody that [62:04] remained got taken now it's going to tell us a few a few was left that was poor keep going I think I think it say [62:10] it right here but nebar the captain of the Guard left of the poor of the people which had [62:17] nothing in the land of Judah and gave them Vineyards and Fields at the same time so who inherited the Earth the [62:26] poor right so the poor the weak folks the poor they're the ones that was given [62:33] Israel the poor of Israel the people that didn't have no choice most high God [62:38] set it up but he's like okay well it is some Hebrews that can stay here you know what now you poor now you own a Vineyard [62:46] all the stuff that all the rich people in in in Jerusalem had they ended up getting the benefit from [62:53] it all right that testify how yahua is going to do things absolutely and where [62:58] was that at uh it's in I think it's in the Psalms it said all of the riches of the world is just stored up just for the [63:04] righteous that's right all the stuff these rich people got all that stuff they got all the Jeff boses and the and [63:11] the and the Mike Zuckerberg of the world all the stuff they got just gonna be given to the righteous in the [63:17] end right just keeping it you know what I'm saying just keeping a little warm for us you know what I'm saying they keep a little warm all the Gentiles that [63:25] you know what I'm saying made all this money off the back of our ancestors they just keeping that thing warm for us it's all coming back to us one way or [63:33] another keep going or is that the end of the chapter [63:40] no all right now nebuchadrezzar king of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon gave [63:46] charge concerning Jeremiah the nebus are nebar zeran the captain of the Guard [63:53] saying take him and look well to him and do him no harm but do unto him even as [63:58] he shall say unto thee so nebus zardan the captain of the Guard sent and nebu [64:04] sesban rarus and nural sherzer rabag and all the king of babylon's princes even [64:12] they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison committed him unto galiah the son of ayim the son of shaan [64:19] that he should carry him home so he dwelt home so he dwelt among the people now the word of the Lord came unto [64:25] Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison saying go and speak to EAD MC the Ethiopian saying thus says [64:31] the Lord of host the god of Israel behold I will bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good and they [64:38] shall be accomplished in the day in that day before thee but I will deliver thee in that day says Yahweh and thou shalt [64:45] not be given into the hand of the men whom thou are afraid for I will surely deliver thee and thou shalt not fall by [64:51] the sword but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee because thou Hast put thy trust in me says [65:02] Yahweh so that's that's how that's how this whole thing gets wrapped up right Jeremiah ends up he ends up [65:10] being able to stay into the land the poor people end up taking over [65:16] the land the few that was left the poor everybody else got taken out of the land right grab second uh Second Kings [65:25] Give Me 2 Kings verse uh through verse 25 I mean chapter 25 verse one 2 Kings [65:32] chapter 25 verse one so you if you guys all remember from [65:40] the readings we've been reading the history we've been reading Kings and Chronicles but we kind of now that we're [65:47] at the end of Kings and the end of the uh the end of the um of us dwelling in [65:53] Israel we had to circle back to Jeremiah and Daniel and Ezekiel because around [65:59] those prophets timelines were around the time of the end for us in Israel so [66:05] we're just jumping back to Kings to summarize all of what we [66:15] read and it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign in the 10th month in the 10th day of the month the [66:21] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon came and all his host against Jerusalem and pinched against it and they built forts [66:27] against it round about and the city so this is talking about the same events same stuff that Jeremiah was just [66:32] telling us about about how he was circling us and he was fighting against us and zedekiah was asking like man what [66:39] should we do man can you tell can you ask God to come down here and make him go away and all that you know what I'm [66:44] saying it's the same event watch this keep going it's just from a different perspective this [66:49] time the city was besieged until the 11th year of king of of King zedekiah [66:55] and on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city there was no bread for the people of the land [67:01] the city was broken up and all the men of War fled By Night by the way of the gate between two walls which is by the [67:07] King's Garden now the cow now the CES were against the city round about the king went the way toward the plain the [67:15] army of when say it's against the city round about that means they circling the city and they they fighting through the [67:20] walls when it say the um the city was broken up that means that there was a breach of the wall so somewhere there [67:27] was a break in the wall and so all the people a lot of the people tried to escape through that break of the wall [67:33] right watch this keep going the army of the cdes pursued after the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho [67:39] and all his army were scattered from him so they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon to ribla and they [67:46] gave right so they caught the king cuz the king tried to get away too so when they when they broke through the wall [67:52] the king tried to run out boom boom you know what I'm saying running running running running running running trying to get away and all of a sudden they [67:59] overtook him in other words they caught up to him watch this and they slew the sons of zedekiah [68:05] before his eyes and put out the eyes of zedekiah and bound him with feathers of brass carried him to Babylon right so [68:12] then they they took his eyes out right they bound him up right in Chains and [68:19] then they took him to Babylon so if you remember Jeremiah's prophecy against Jeremiah told him he said you will be [68:26] taken to Babylon but you will not see it right all right so this was already [68:32] prophesied to zedekiah and Jeremiah probably didn't even know exactly this was gonna happen [68:38] but he knew I gonna play out your butt wasn't gonna see it and this is how it actually played out they took his [68:44] eyes in the fifth month on the seventh day of the month which is the 19th year of King Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon [68:52] came nebus Zara captain of the Guard a servant of the king of Babylon unto Jerusalem and he [68:58] burnt the house of the Lord and the King's house and all the houses of Jerusalem and every great man's house [69:03] burned he with fire and all the army of the CES that were with the captain of the Guard Break Down The Walls of [69:09] Jerusalem round about now the rest of the people that were left in the city and the fugitives that fell away to the [69:15] king of Babylon with the remnant of the multitude dezu zaran the captain of the Guard carry away the captain of the [69:22] Guard left of the poor of the land to be Vine dresses and husbandmen and the pillars of brass that were in the house [69:28] of the Lord and the bases in the Brazen seed that was in the house of the Lord [69:33] did the calans break in pieces and Carri the brass of them to Babylon and the P [69:39] so they they start breaking up all our stuff all these beautiful artifacts that that uh that we consider to be set apart [69:47] and holy and can't nobody touch them the Gentiles they touch them they'll die they ought to be put to death all this [69:53] stuff these Gentile walk right in just start breaking our stuff up just hammering it down breaking it into [69:59] pieces carrying it away so they can melt it down and they can make Idols out of it right this you got to understand how [70:07] we feel when this is happening right this is the most set aart holy thing [70:12] can't no Gentile touch our stuff they walk right in they killing us [70:18] they got us all gaffled up and chained up right and we got to watch them [70:24] slam Hammers and tools against the stuff that the most high God created off of [70:30] the designs Out of Heaven break this stuff up into pieces and they about in our minds they [70:37] about to take this stuff and go melt it down and make a darn Idol out of it and [70:43] this is God stuff the only true God and y'all about to defile it right we sick about what's happening [70:51] right now sick keep going watch this so that's why God [70:58] was telling Ezekiel I'm taking the pride of your eyes right your wife right don't [71:03] cry about it this is what God was talking about all of this the the Temple's burning the temple was the [71:10] pride of our eyes so God was like don't cry about it he was telling the people [71:15] in Ezekiel because Ezekiel them already in Babylon captives so Ezekiel so the [71:21] people got to look at Ezekiel they got to know like okay so he is he is acting [71:26] out what's about to happen to Jerusalem and this is what God was talking [71:33] about and the fire pans and the bows and such things and the bows and such things [71:38] as were as were of gold in gold and of silver in [71:45] silver my bad the captain of the Guard took away the two pillars one C and the [71:51] bases which Solomon had made for the house of the the Lord the brass of all these vessels was without weight and the [71:57] height of the one pillar was 18 cubits and the chaper upon it was brass and the [72:03] height of the chaper was three cubits and the wreath in the Wen work and the [72:09] palag granates upon the chaper round about all of brass and like unto these [72:14] had the second pillar with Ren work the captain of the Guard took Shariah the [72:19] chief priest and Zephaniah the second priest and the three keepers of the door [72:25] and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war and five men of them that were in the king's [72:32] presence which were found in the city and the principal scribe of the host which mustered the people of the land [72:38] and three score men of the people of the land that were found in the city and nebu zaran captain of the Guard took [72:45] these and brought them to the king of Babylon to ribler the king of Babylon smoke them and slew them at ribler in [72:51] the land of HTH so Bo right they got up some stragglers [72:56] took them right to to the king of Babylon so the king of Babylon can lay judgment and killed them [73:03] boys so Judah was carried uh carried away out of their land and asked for the [73:08] people that remained in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon had left even other even over [73:15] them he made gelah the son of aim the son of shaan ruler and when all the [73:20] captains of the armies they and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made galiah Governor there came to [73:27] galiah to mispah even Ishmael the son of nethaniah and Johan johanan the son of [73:35] kth Kira and Sariah son of tth and Nite and [73:44] Janiah the son of meath Mech meite they [73:50] and their they and their men and galiah swore to them and to their men and said unto them fear not to be the Servants of [73:56] the CES dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon and it will be well with you but it came to pass in the seventh [74:02] month that Ishmael the son of nathania nethaniah the son of Elisha of the royal [74:08] seed came 10 men with him and smoked galiah that he died and the Jews of the [74:13] C and the Jews and the CIS that were with him in mispah and all the people [74:18] both small and great and the captains of the armies arose and came to Egypt for they were afraid of the CES and it came [74:24] to pass in the seventh and 13th year of the Captivity of jeho and king of Judah [74:29] in the 12th month on the seventh and 20th day of the month that evil morodok king of Babylon in the year that he [74:36] began to Reign did lift up his head of jeho king of Judah out of the prison he [74:41] spake right so this is a different King right so you had some people that came out of Egypt that was hiding in Egypt [74:48] they came back to us in the land gelah had been King and galiah is a descendant [74:54] of David right so galiah had become king or not King but Governor right so [75:02] he he he was he was he was the one running the show right and he's telling [75:07] him like look I understand y'all back from Egypt but go ahead and turn yourself over into you know Babylon [75:13] trust me that's the only way it gonna work out right get a liar you saying he under he under Nebuchadnezzar thumb he [75:19] ain't playing with him he look like look just turn yourself in so our people didn't like that right we didn't like [75:26] that thing so what we did we killed him right killed that boy and ran back [75:32] went back you know what I'm saying got out of Dodge right so then after that um after [75:39] after he died then Nebuchadnezzar actually is no longer [75:44] King either so we read about some of this when we read in uh Daniel remember [75:51] NE Nebuchadnezzar he ended up up being like an animal running around like an animal right so NE Nebuchadnezzar he was [75:58] out there in the field with the animals and then he got his sight he gave you know what I'm saying he he gave his life to the most high God after that you know [76:04] what I'm saying he gave glory to the most high God after that right So eventually he no longer was King and the [76:11] next king of Babylon is uh read the name again I think is Evo moch Evo evil [76:18] morodo yeah eviah and Jeremiah tell you a little bit about like uh what was [76:24] going on at that time uh like right before G galiah died how he was running Jerusalem and Jeremiah he kind of [76:30] summarized the same thing but it's a little bit more detailed in Jeremiah if y'all want to know um like after after [76:37] the after Babylon took over Jerusalem Jeremiah gave a little uh little uh more [76:43] context on what was going on at the time before Gia got killed all right and so you see uh you [76:51] see the next king after Babylon the king of I mean the next king after Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon was [76:58] EV morodok right and then there's going to be another king after that that we'll learn about from Daniel so usually when [77:06] people read Daniel straight through they think it go right from right from Nebuchadnezzar to uh [77:14] Bazar right but that's not the case so first is evil morodo and then he's the [77:20] one who lets jeah go because remember jeah or jein right jein he got taken [77:27] captive but he was treated nicely in Babylon right when he was in Babylon he [77:33] was eating with the King he was eating at the king table right prison huh after [77:39] he got out of prison yet yeah yeah they let him out they let him out and they let him you know what I'm saying they he [77:45] he ate with the he ate with the rulers you know what I'm saying so after that [77:50] even morodo they let him go you know what I'm saying they gave him free Freedom so we'll we'll read more about [77:55] that and uh and and what's what's kind of happening next and now we have to kind of get into we have to get into uh [78:03] get back into Daniel and we're gonna look at the back of the Book of Daniel and kind of see [78:08] how things progress from there right Daniel's gonna have a whole lot of Prophecy for us right a whole lot of [78:14] Prophecy that we can get and then we gonna touch a little bit more in Ezekiel a tiny bit more in Jeremiah we'll [78:21] probably wrap Jeremiah up uh but we going to read uh Lamentations as well um to just kind of see how the [78:28] people felt after after we left the land after everybody left the land after our [78:33] Temple was destroyed you know how the people how the people was mourning it remember uh y'all told Ezekiel he said [78:39] the people couldn't mourn but they had to mourn to themselves in other words the way we would normally have to deal [78:45] with this is we would probably pray we Face the temple we kind of look at it and try to try to try to gather [78:52] ourselves like a f funeral right but he said no don't mourn you got to mourn to yourselves and that's what we going [78:58] that's what we going to read about in Lamentations how the people are just mourning to themselves right Jeremiah is [79:03] kind of documenting how the people are feeling and how they mourning to [79:08] themselves any questions so uh congratulations you know [79:14] you know you guys made it all the way from made it all the way from judges all the way from well all the way from [79:20] Joshua all the way to Kings right so remember Joshua brought us Joshua brought us into the land Joshua [79:27] generation die we get judges we just run around doing we want to do not necessarily having no leader to like [79:33] bring the people together and understand who the most high is so we in judges just trying to figure it out then we get [79:39] to Samuel Samuel come becomes a judge one of the first prophets of God in a long time give us Saul the king and the [79:46] kingdom starts then David takes his place right then David lead the people [79:51] then you got his son and they go all the way to the end of Kings now it's all gone just like God told us right Moses [79:58] even said it he said I know y'all rebellious y'all been rebelling this whole time how much more after I'm dead [80:05] I God already showed me what was gonna happen right Moses told us that in deuteron he like this thing G get taken away anyway you know what I'm saying so [80:12] now we see all of the Prophet all of the prophecy that came true based off us [80:18] breaking the Covenant right so we get the full story so you know when congratula y'all from like like sticking [80:25] with the sticking with it and understanding exactly what happened because a lot of people don't read this [80:30] stuff they have no idea right people that go to church they just jump right into like Jesus Christ dying on the [80:37] cross for their sins they have no idea all of the stuff that happened before that right so this give you a whole lot [80:43] more context a whole lot more knowledge whole lot more uh uh perspective on [80:49] exactly what the book is trying to tell you you know what I mean so uh then we even went through a few profit books so [80:55] this is real good stuff um we going to get into exactly what we got go what we had going on in uh Babylon and Persia [81:02] and then us being able to return but uh you know I just want to uh thank y'all for sticking with it you know you guys [81:07] have already like like gained so much knowledge from all of this stuff that [81:13] we've been reading and you got to like you got to leg up on like probably everybody that everybody ever that's [81:19] sitting in the church next to you right right and we ain't even halfway done huh I saying we ain't even [81:27] halfway done yeah we ain't even halfway there yeah right because what we what we transfer into now I want y'all to I want [81:34] y'all to really really focus on on on feeling what just happened right putting [81:40] yourself in in the shoes of our ancestors as this stuff is happened I can see y'all in the chat y'all kind of [81:46] you know what I'm saying oh tough time for our people right that's exactly how I want y'all to see it because now you [81:52] going to see when we shift right when we shift and when we have an opportunity to [81:58] to to show up for the most high God and and and to show ourselves um approved [82:04] before the most high God when we have a chance to come back to the land you gonna see the general attitude of the [82:10] people or at least some a lot of the people are is very different right people are going to respond to things [82:16] very different especially leaders right they G they were they going to take things a lot more serious right and this [82:22] is uh this is you know this is going to be some of the attitude that leads to what we see in the New Testament right [82:29] when we talk when we talk about the Pharisees and how strict they are for certain things and all that we G we [82:34] gonna understand where that attitude comes from right the scarcity that we [82:40] felt and and the feeling that you know all this could be taken away from us at any moment right it causes the [82:47] overcorrection so we going to kind of start seeing the the root of some of that stuff [83:01] all right let's pray out sa peace [83:09] y'all
