 Good evening and good morning. I guess depending on where you are There are some people who are not here in America who are on different parts of the globe who it may be morning for them So I just want to thank you all for being here. It has been a while I think this is the settled time that we will be in now God willing but anyway We're not gonna do much of a recap. I don't think we need to do much recap weeks. We left off with or discussing Solomon taking the reins as king and so That we're not gonna spend a lot of time on Solomon this thing is bright. We're not gonna spend a lot of time on Solomon Or at least him Being king we're gonna cover something that was brought up before Then we're gonna cover what really is happening now So we're gonna jump from the beginning of Solomon's reign to the end of Solomon's reign of truth be told It's not a whole lot of Solomon's reign in here. There are a couple of books though that Solomon did author and Because of that, we're gonna have to cover Looking at our Old Testament timeline You all see the books that we can discuss the books that we've covered thus far and that you are responsible for knowing and The books that you cannot jump to just quite yet but so far we have the ability to go through Genesis exodus numbers Joshua judges first and second Samuel and First Kings up to thus far up to first Kings chapter 9 we've also covered Joe Leviticus Deuteronomy as our Complementary books as well as Ruth and you also have first and second Chronicles But there's also some other writings now that being the case The other writings that we've talked about are or that we haven't covered are the wisdom writings We won't spend too much time now in those we'll pick up those as we go throughout the scriptures if you want to Bring those in at at the moment you can but there's one in particular that we're definitely gonna cover today Or we're gonna cover portions of it And that is the book of ecclesiastes The reason being is because of who the author is of ecclesiastes now There is some debate that it may not actually be solemn, but I think it's pretty clear We're gonna look at that just to determine that it is Solomon and because we're gonna see the end of Solomon's reign Well, then naturally we have to be able to include Solomon's writings as well. So that being the case. Let's go ahead and jump into a couple things. Remember The backdrop of what we're talking about before we go into Solomon Let's go to this covenant that we call the Davidic covenant that has to deal with Solomon Mainly it's about his father But a promise made to David about David and for his son and for Some just a particular descendant who is not yet named and there's a reason why we don't want to name things ahead of time if any of you have Taking a look at what's on patreon the first seminary class What you're doing on that particular class is a little bit. Well, it's basically what we've been doing We are only covering what we know We're not introducing anything else. And so what we do here. We make observations, which is the homework for the seminary class We make we make observations And hold off on the interpretation until we get enough of the information From the observation and then make now we never called it that before but that's in essence what we're doing That way we can stick with the text And we should all be pretty close to Pretty close to everyone else The only reason that you would have a different thought than everyone else is in many cases in most cases Because you want to and what I mean by because you want to mean because there might be a theological bent or a doctrinal bent in there For example, we have covered Who god is have we given all that there is to know about god? Well, no because you can go to the entire bible and still not discover all that there is to know about god And there is someone Also that we have not discussed relating to god In full but that being the case We've got enough information about god now the reason why i'm bringing that up is because there are some people who will say even still Their natural defense systems kick in And they'll say well, there's no such thing as a trinity now. We haven't called the name or use a term trinity thus far We've just talked about God's identity as much as he's revealed all we can go off of about god is What he has revealed about himself and so god has not revealed his full self to us As a matter of fact, no one can fully understand god has not fully revealed himself to anybody not even through his book But what he has revealed we are responsible for and up to this point He's revealed a good amount. We know some things about him We know some things about his character about his His belief how he moves how he feels what he thinks what he intends to do and that's important So that with the backdrop we go to second saniel chapter seven verse one And you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let's not go to verse one Let's move because I don't want to get too bogged down on something we've covered before But let's go to let's start in verse eight now. Therefore, uh, thus you shall say to my servant david. This is nathan speaking to Um to david Thus says the lord of hosts I took you from the pasture from following the sheep to be ruler over my people israel I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies enemies From before you and I will make you a great name like the names of the great men who are on the earth And there's a reason why this is highlighted Important reason why this is highlighted we've covered this before and so I won't I won't go back into it that much Slow the chats down. I sure will And matter of fact, let me stop and do that right now that way. I don't interrupt myself because Usually I do this one as a when there's a video playing. So anyway It says I will also appoint a place for my people israel and plant them now That's also important as a matter of fact. That's an important point to make As we're getting ready to look at what's getting ready to happen. So now let's just pause for a second Let me ask you guys and this is where guys you participate If you have any questions about what we're covering right now Feel free to put a big gigantic cue or question If I don't see it get the moderators attention so they can also get my attention But notice what he says guys and I and I want you all to see this Okay, put you put you all's comments on the on the screen. He says that I will also Appoint a place for my people israel and plant them there. So here's the question Who is he saying he's going to plan a place for well for israel? The question is plant them where where is he going to plant them now? This is speaking in the future. And so you might think wait a second god Hold on. Why do you say I will plant them? Have you just think about this for a second? Let's look at the passage. Look at the text. It's kind of weird when you think about it So because what we're trying to do is we are trying to put ourselves there We are trying to put ourselves on the ground like like reporters or observation or investigators God makes a statement that when you think about it That makes sense. This statement should not really make a whole lot of sense. Look what he says He says I will appoint Now this is future tense guys I will appoint a place for my people Israel and we'll plant them and that they may live in their own place. Wait a second What is interesting? What's weird? What's odd about this statement? Well Before I continue let me ask you guys that what do you all think that? It's odd. Christa G says text doesn't say israel. That is a good observation. However, we well actually does Yes, it does the text says I will also point a place for my people israel So it does say israel, but even before then we know who he's speaking of so now here's the question. Here's the question Why is this odd? What what makes this? odd What well, we know. Okay, I said you're saying she says that it says israel, but not where is what I meant So well, we know the place is Also that land because he's already told them that this is the length they're going to be and they'll have this land forever So god here is reiterating this So we so so we so we can know that that the place the actual location is physical israel and the people are israel Why is this a strange statement? That god is making about what he is going to do in israel. What is what is okay? Let's put it back on the screen What is god? What does he just say that he's going to do for israel verse 10? What does he say he's going to do with israel? He says I will plant them That they may live in their own place. Why is that an odd statement to make? It's there's something that should be just wait a second god hold up hold on i'm i'm confused god Why would? David or maybe even nathan or anyone else? Why would anyone be a bit confused about this? Well, here's the reason They're already in israel They're already in the land. Okay. It's an odd statement to make if i'm already in the land But he says I will plant them Huh? Okay, well remember we have covered this before about what god is going to do with backtracking Just a little bit But he says and I will plant them that they may live in their own place And there's also additions to what he's saying and not be disturbed again Okay, so this has to indicate that something's going to happen And they'll be replanted or put back in this land and he says not disturbed again Now obviously that hasn't happened yet, but look what he says though Nor will the wicked afflict them anymore as formerly Even from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people israel And I will give you rest from all your enemies the lord also declares to you that the lord will make a house for you When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers I will raise up your descendant after you your descendant. This is uh, you're right This is a singular descendant after you who will come forth from you and I will establish his kingdom He shall build a house for my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever Now this part established at the throne of his kingdom forever That's something that goes far beyond that singular seed that singular descendant Which we know is Solomon is and I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me Then he will commit iniquities when he commits iniquity. So guess what this wise man That's going to be his son after him. He's already born at the time though He is going to commit iniquity. He's going to commit sin. We're gonna look at that just a little bit But my loving kindness shall I'm sorry. I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of sons of men But my loving kindness shall not be depart from him as I took it away from Saul Whom I removed from from before you your house and your kingdom shall endure before excuse me Before me forever your throne shall be established forever in accordance with all these words and all the visions of so Nathan spoke so We're going to deal with a question In just a little bit We're going to deal with that with a pretty important question in just a little bit now before we do with the question Let's also recap what he says To him in first kings nine He says when it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the lord and the king's house And and all that Solomon desired to do that the lord appeared to Solomon a second time And he appeared to him at gibbian the lord said to him I have heard your prayers and your supplication which you have made before me I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting my name there forever And my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually as for you Look what he says if you walk before me as your father david walk In integrity of heart and uprightness during doing all according that I have commanded you You And will keep my statues and my ordinances then I will establish your throne of your kingdom for for israel forever Just as I promised to your father david saying you shall not lack a man on the throne of israel. So here he is he's make he's telling Solomon if you do right If you by the way notice notice something that he says as as Um as your father david did your father david walked in integrity of heart and uprightness Well, wait a second. I got a problem with that As a matter of fact, you probably have a problem with that too david walk in integrity and uprightness david walk in integrity and uprightness. How could that be david committed adultery? How could that be david um lied and had a man killed? How could that be? Because what god is looking at in in terms of integrity and uprightness Is not so much the sin. It's the heart behind it and the repentant Fervor that a person would have in turning to god or turning back to god in this case. So david was not a perfect man a sinless man, but his heart was a was humble Recognizing how fallen he was and how good and gracious and loving god is and this is what the lord is pointing to But he's telling Solomon if you do these things. I'll fulfill the promise that I spoke of Did god have every intent of fulfilling this promise with with david? And Solomon sure he did. However, god is not stupid. God is not slow God is not ignorant. God has been to the end and he knows exactly what's going to happen And so the promise wasn't any promise He just knew that the person that was being promised to Did not have the capacity to continue now What's going to happen is there's going to be something pretty serious that's going to come about So let's drop down from chapter nine of first kings to chapter 11 of first kings Now Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh Amulbite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sedonian and Hittite women in other words Solomon didn't have a preference Solomon loved the ladies Didn't matter what you were didn't matter how you look. It didn't matter what color what ethnicity that matter Solomon was a man about many flavors and he did he didn't have a type So here we have Solomon And by the way, notice these women these aren't women Who come from a nation that god wants Solomon to be a part of now? This is the same Solomon who is wiser than any other man ever Well, what's that mean? Well, it shows us that just because you're wise or you're the wisest of men ever You're still falling You're still not that great. You're still not that good. You are still prone to sin. You're still prone to your Proclivities Solomon could not control himself. And Ola says that is correct Verse two from the nations concerning which the lord had said to the sons of Israel You shall not associate with them. So again, Solomon you're going wrong. You're sinning Nor shall they associate with you for they will surely Turn your heart away after their gods Solomon held fast to these in love Solomon love these people these women More than he loved the statutes of god more than he loved that command the command is clear It's not a it's not a vague statute. It's not a it's not a hard to understand command But again, he says and by the way any of us if we spend time with people we're not supposed to Because what does bad company do it will corrupt you You indulge in them and you stay with them you end up being like them versus the other way around Jesus Let me just pause for a second I'm gonna I'm gonna say a name that we have not earned because we don't know the name Jesus But it's just just to kind of continue the thought and finish it People will say well, Jesus hung out with sinners. Well, no, he didn't Jesus did not hang out with sinners I wish that people would stop saying that he did not Jesus went to them And Jesus asked and demanded for them to repent and play and change what they were And come to him, but Jesus said, you know what what are you doing tonight? Let's go hang out. That was not what he was doing. So same with us Same with David same with solid. Oh by the way back to the story Same with israel when god made these Demands on them and told them not to do certain things It was so that they wouldn't not that they wouldn't have any association with other Nations, but that if they did those nations would have to Would have to come to israel meaning this The dietary laws we've got this before so we won't we won't go too far into it But the dietary laws that we see that god puts on israel where he says this animal's unclean this He says these are unclean Do you know not that they're unclean pure because he he is the one that created him What he meant to say what he was saying was not what he meant to say what he did say Say that they're unclean to you is so that you don't eat what the hit tides eat You don't eat what the amalekites eat. You don't eat what the phyllis sees eat Why because if you eat what they eat you have to go to their houses And when you go to their house you are you are actually given approval to them and their god And you are introduced to their gods However, if if the other way happens they come to you they're introduced to your god Are you guys with me? So it's not them. It's not you Keeping company with them is them keeping company with you them you entertaining them and they entertaining you and your god And so that was the whole point that god was after for israel to be separate and different like every other nation And really to be a light and an example for all the other nations because it's always being that anybody Who was not necessarily physically israel could join in partake? Just like a mob by this name Ruth just like a cantonight woman named ray had so continuing going back to it verse two I'm sorry verse three He had seven That's a lot Let's just say let's just let's tell the truth. Shame the devil. That's a lot seven What what do you do? I it's almost like now salam is trying to prove something Salam is trying to prove there's no way that you could maybe you can't I don't know may maybe you can spend time with all 700 I don't know. I don't I don't know now Will Chamberlain some of y'all know who will chamberlain's will say that he's got salam and beat What do you say famously 25,000 something like that? Okay, whatever will but 700 wives princesses And 300 look at that and 300 concubines and his wives turned his heart away That's a lot That and there's no there's no way there's absolutely no way you can know their name You just can't hey you are you one of mine? Come here. Hey you you one of mine. No. Well, you want to be come on That's that's that's essentially what's happening here. You're just taking people randomly I I'll leave that alone. Let's continue for when Solomon was old His wives turned his heart away after other gods and his heart was not wholly devoted to the lord His god as the heart of david his father had been so now I want to ask you guys a question Here's the question. I want to ask you Do you all think that Solomon died and had an inheritance in heaven? Do you think in other words another way of putting it? Do you think that Solomon was safe? Do you think that obviously not a christian? But do you think that Solomon was a believer? Do you think that Solomon was a follower of God? Do you think Where do you think Solomon is now? Do you think he's with the father? Or do you think he's inhale waiting for his final destination? We've got information that we can make a Not necessarily an educated guess, but we've got information that we can speak about it. So question What do you all think it's important? Because the one that you ought to see if if you were one watching the text to What's your reason because this is what we do and let me just say this Let me take you guys off screen for a second. This is what we do We make statements give opinions and don't back them up core. You're wrong Bob you're wrong. I disagree. Okay fine. You disagree Let's just now. Let me let me just put it the way. I ought to tell you if you disagree. So What who cares did you disagree now if you tell me why you disagree? Okay now? I'm listening now. I'm always I want to hear Why you disagree and so it's not enough It's not enough to say what you think you have to say what you think associated or accompanied with Why you think that way? Your opinion doesn't matter just like mine doesn't matter if I'm not going to back up with the scriptures Then it's just a baseless and really unworthy opinion So if you say something If you say something And you disagree, that's fine. No problem. Matter of fact, I tell you I will Most often if I'm going to engage with someone in the comments section or what have you it will be because they disagree So questions or disagreement and so when someone says disagree, well, we're fine So in this case not just disagreement, but say why you think why do you think that Solomon is in heaven? Or why do you think that Solomon is in hell? That's the question You guys are smart Christians. So you cannot you do not get away with What others might let you get away with and that is just an opinion without a rationale Now I want you to give an opinion But I want you to search we and you don't have to search because we literally went over enough as a matter of fact While you're formulating your opinion, but you know what before you form like you before I give you Some more scriptures Why do you think? Why why why do you think so? Why do you why do you think Solomon either is? Um in the grave waiting to go to hell. I mean waiting to go to like a fire Or why do you think he is with the father? Let me just look over these. Let's see chris worthy says I believe solvents in heaven Because what God said concerning his love Uh not depart. That's a good answer. That that is a very good answer. That is a very good answer What about those who believe let's see his heart Was not true to the lord as was his father david. Sorry. Hell You have to apologize to us. We're not I'm not related to uh, so he's not my brother. I'm kidding. Wouldn't it be some if I found out? I've come to find out that I am uh some sort of a Jew You said no one goes to hell because of sin. Okay. Well It No one goes to hell. But what what why do you what do people go to hell for? Apostle doesn't send people to hell either If you apostasy doesn't send people to hell if you believe at one time Well, I'm going to have to get pushed back because if you were atone for at that time And you moved away. What does the bible say is that person? That person's reward The term Backslide is only given in the old testament is only given to jews to israel And to those at backslid they certainly they most certainly who turned away or apostatized Certainly found themselves in hell. We're not talking about Being saved like we know safe Okay So I mean cifa says I think solomon's is saved because of the promise of david But now let's go back to the passage though. This this is a hard one though guys. This is I'm not saying a hard one this is a this is This has to make you think though. He says that uh Verse four for when solomon was old his wives turned his heart away After other gods and his heart was not wholly devoted to the lord his god As the heart of david his father had been That's a that's a pretty powerful statement to make That's a pretty powerful statement. Let's continue for solomon went after look what it says Solomon now Didn't did not israel the nation also do the same thing for solomon went after asterisk the goddess of the sedonians and after milcum the detestable idol of the ammonites Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the lord and did not follow the lord Fully as david his father had done Then then here we go Then solomon built a high place for kamosh the detestable idol of moab on the mountain Which is east of jerusalem and for molac the detestable idol Uh for the sons family, you know molac the ones that that that they would sacrifice their babies to Thus also he did for all his foreign wives who burn incense and sacrifice to their god Look at that. So now What does that look like? What about because we know we know if everyone else had done the same thing We know if anyone else would have been described as that what would have been Bubba of tarsus's Future if that were said about him if but if if it were written in the scriptures Or said that bubba of tarsus wouldn't ask for the ashris that bubba of tarsus Worshiped at the altar of moley that bubba of tarsus went after foreign gods Would we say that bubba of tarsus was atoned for that bubba of tarsus would have a place in heaven with the lord What would be the case? Yeah Correct lakisa. You you can't conflate what the new covenant says for israel versus now that hadn't happened They don't know of it all they know of this this covenant they have now they have the old covenant So what would it be said of anyone else? They would say bubba you got to go bubba's going to hell bubba of tarsus Goes to hell Why because he went after other guys as a matter of fact The detestable idols of of the sons of amon Thus also he did for all his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed their guys Now the lord was angry with salam because his heart was turned away from the lord the god of israel Who had appeared to him Twice and commanded him concerning this thing that he should not go after the other gods But he did not observe what the lord had commanded So the lord said to salam because you have done this and have not kept my covenant and my statutes Which i've commanded you i will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant Hold on now. Let's pause for a second. So there's also Some other consequences That have nothing to do with i have to do with him but have to do with other people such as israel first Well, nevertheless, I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father david But I will tear it out of the hand of your sons However, I will not tear away all the kingdom But I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant david And for the sake of druslan which i've chosen so The result of this is going to be That israel is going to be torn half will come back to israel in just a second So now let's go to some passages that might also either help clear things up or Further muddy the water. Let's go to ecclesiastes. Let's start in verse one chapter one Now by the way, we know that that david david that solomon wrote ecclesiastes Why because it ecclesiastes one he says the word of the preacher and this word preacher Uh co-health which is This is like to raising your voice, but this is the preacher The or I shouldn't say the son of david because it doesn't say the son. This is bane That we which is a son of david. So even though it says in the english the son We don't have a definite article to go here. So it's a son of david. However It also says this king melec Melec over israel king in or over drusselm Pretty hard to dispute that this would not be Solomon So we think this is probably solomon knows what he says he says Vanity of vanity says the preacher vanity of vanities all is vanity What advantages does man have in all his work which he does under the sun? Let's drop down to verse 14 And notice what he says since this since we know this is solomon He says I have seen all the works Which have been done under the sun And behold all is vanity and striving after wind What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted? So he seems Solomon to understand now. This is at the end of solomon's life Is it possible that solomon can't could have Backslid but then turned back to god? Well possibly because if we go to Ecclesiastal 12 13 knows what he says the conclusion when all has been heard is Fear god and keep his commandments because this applies to every person for god will bring every act of judgment Everything which is hidden whether it is good or evil evil now. So the question is Does that if if that's solomon? kind of in a repentant tone does that prove or show That he is That he is with the father Could be Could be It could just be that he recognizes the error of his ways Because there are other men that died and we know they don't have a place with the lord Recognizing still that they were faulty people that they were wrong I think sol kind of sticks out in my soul recognize what kind of person he was But he is who he is and so his place is going to be I don't think that sol is in heaven I don't I don't think that at all Let's going back to solomon sin I think there might be a bit of a A clue a bit of something that might help us out with with solomon Uh for solomon. Let's see for when solomon was old His wife turned his heart away from after other guys out here's something when he was old. So this is him being old So could it be him being old and him having all these problems that then he's like, yeah, I messed up I messed up, but he says, uh, his wife's turned his heart away after other guys And he says his heart was not here's a word right right here guys Uh, should I am which is holy completely fully Turned his and his heart was not fully or wholly devoted. Is that a little bit of Something that kind of helped save him He wasn't fully in with these other guys, but yet he wasn't fully in devoted towards the lord And there is a promise that god does make in the end guys. Can I give you the correct answer? You should when I say that you all should know what the correct answer is What is the correct answer to the question if solomon was indeed saved? This I want to know class. What is the correct answer if someone were to say Solomon was saved or solomon went to hell. What What's the correct answer for now? God knows obviously the true answer, but for us For us the and there you go dw2. I don't know Now if you meant to say that but I don't know not sure there you go, joshua I'm not a glakisa. I don't know You have to be able to say I don't know because if you're going to start making conclusive conclusions Sounds like a I don't need to say both of those a monkey moves shoulder shrug don't know You need to be able to say that You need to be able to say that so that you don't get in the habit of just making up stuff or making something fit Because you want to give an answer sometimes you're asked a question that you cannot give an answer By the way, even in math even in math There are times there are questions that you're asked and and the answer is don't have enough information It's possible Especially reading Ecclesiast said he here Solomon learned the errors of his ways or it could be that he learned the error of his ways and just All right. I messed up. There are people. I know for a fact in prison They recognize where they messed up and you know what now I made my bed now lying it So All you can say I don't know now you can say I think I'm not sure but I think he went to heaven because uh I'm not sure I think went to heaven because but as long as you put a caveat on that and says I'm not totally sure well then there you go Because there's just some things that we just aren't totally sure and that part is fine Now the problem is though What has happened as a result? Solomon has messed up for all his wisdom Solomon has just surely messed up. God says Because you've done this and then you have not kept my covenant and my statutes. Well, which covenants? Well for one the old covenant and this new covenant this this not the new covenant but the Davidic covenant I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant Now he hears this And he's going to do something that he probably shouldn't do or he can't do which also indicates He's not like his father. David. Uh, and so verse 14 Then the lord raised up an adversary to Solomon had died the it might he was one I'm sorry He was of the royal line and eat him and it came about when David wasn't eating now I'm not gonna go through the whole story about how this person Hadot came about But he also raises up someone else didn't got to raise up another adversary to him Raised on the son of Eliadah who had fled from his lord Uh, how to desert king of zoab and so god is now raising up enemies against who? Against david not david but against the throne Verse 26 though then Jarobo Jaroboam The son of nabat the the Ephraimite Of Zara Zareta Solomon's servant whose mother's name was Zerua a widow also rebelled against the king Now this was the reason why he rebelled against the king Solomon built the milo And closed up the breach of the city of his father david Now the man Jaroboam was a valiant warrior and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious he appointed him over all the forest labor of the house of joseph It came about at that time when Jaroboam went out of jr. That the prophet ahesia the shalomite found him on the road now ahesia Had clothed himself with a new cloak and both of them were along the field Then ahesia took hold of the new cloak which was on him and tore him in 12 pieces Okay While what's happening here? He said to Jaroboam Take for yourself 10 pieces for thus says the lord the god of israel behold I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you 10 tribes and this happens before Solomon's death Okay, uh, but he will be but he will have one tribe for the sake of my servant david And for the sake of drusel now Really too because he's going to have another tribe plus plus juda his own Uh, but went but he will have one tribe for the sake of my servant david and for the sake of drusel Which the city I have chosen from all the tribes of israel because they have forsaken me and have worship Ashrith the goddess of the sedonians commotion the god of moab and so forth. Let's drop down 34 I'm sorry and doing what is instead of stopped they stopped walking in the ways Doing what is right in my side observing my statues in my ordinances as his father david did Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand But I will make him a ruler all the days of his life For the sake of my servant david whom I chose Who observed my commandments and my statues, but I will take the kingdom from his son's hand And give it to you even 10 tribes But to his son, I will give one tribe that my servant david may have a lamp Always before me in drusel the city where I've chosen for myself to put my name Um, I will I will take I will take you and you shall reign over whatever you desire And you shall be king over israel Then it will be that if you listen to all that literally says to him though If you listen to all that I command you and walk in my ways And do what is right in my side by observing my status and my commandments as my servant david did Then I will be with you and build you an enduring house as I built for david And I will give israel to you thus I will afflict the descendant of david for this but not always Solomon sought therefore to put geroboam to death, but geroboam arose So now Solomon knows about this and so what does Solomon do? Wants to kill him. He's not like his father. Remember his father's the one that says I shall not touch the lord's anointed now This is god stating what he's going to do and Solomon knows what his fate is by the way Did you catch what god said to geroboam? Did you did you catch that little promise that was there? I don't know if you caught that guys What was the strange it was a strange little promise that the prophet that a haja is getting giving to geroboam It's like wait a second. This isn't this doesn't make this this this can't be How could this be he says to him? If you will look what he says in verse 38 Uh, if you will walk in my ways and do what is right in my side My observing my status and my commandments as my servant David did Then I will be with you and build you an enduring house this word enduring houses. It's just like Going on How enduring houses I built for David and I will give you Israel thus I will afflict the descendants of David So here's a question. How could that be? How is it is it possible? Is it possible That he would have given him this as he says this enduring house Is that is that Well, yeah, Cory. Why what's wrong with that? What is wrong with is there anything wrong with? If geroboam Would Have done those things now here's news flash spoiler Geroboam is not going to do right. He's not going to be a matter of fact What we're going to find out is that not one king in the northern territory not one king of israel Will be worthy all I'm going to be evil Most of the southern kings juda will also be But what is strange about god saying if you do this then I will Give you this enduring throne What what well Is geroboam Out of the tribe of juda No, he's not out of the tribe of juda So it's just odd for for first of all, so when we hear that What could geroboam say? You know what? This ain't gonna work out But we're gonna find out that geroboam could really care less about the word of god We're gonna find out that geroboam could really care less about the word of god But he could not be he could not extend this because He is not from the tribe of juda Just like just like when moses is Telling the story or when moses is delivering it ask this question before This comes up from time at time when moses Is having a discussion with the lord and the lord seems to say to moses won't go back into it But he seems to say to moses that I'll destroy all of them and start over with you That'd be a problem Why would that be a problem because previous to god making that statement or seemingly making that statement We already have we've already been told that the scepters should not depart from juda He's even gonna you're gonna destroy all of them including juda and start with moses who is not of the tribe of juda so It's not going to happen And when we go back and look at this promise God is not saying what could be what would be what he's just saying what actually will be From what he says in in genesis 49 that the tribe shall not depart from juda He's not giving all of the Extinuating circumstances all the little details. He's just stating for a fact that the tribe will never I mean that the scepter will never depart from juda Okay, you guys with me so Continuing verse 40 I'm sorry verse 41 now the rest of the acts of salam and whatever he did Uh and his wisdom are they not reading the book of the acts of salamon? Thus the time that salamone reigned in Jerusalem overall israel was 40 years and salamone slept with his fathers And was buried in the city of his father david and his sons Rehoboam reigned in his place Now we need to go to the next part now. We're going to have a divided kingdom. We've got rehoboam in the south He's got two tribes What are the two tribes that he has he has juda And what's the other tribe Well, let's read By the way, does anyone know ahead of time what the other tribe is? Uh, let's continue though Chapter 12 verse 1 then rehoboam went to shechem for all israel had come to shechem to make him king Now, this is how the how it got torn in half Now when jeroboam the son of nibba had heard of it. He was living in egypt for he was yet in egypt Uh, where he had fled from the presence of king salamone two rash decisions That propelled jeroboam one salamone what he did two What his son is about to do Then they sent and called him and jeroboam and all this into the israel came and spoke to rehoboam saying your father made our yoke hard Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us And we will serve you then he said to them depart for three days then returning me now I don't I don't know if rehoboam knows the situation If he did he's an idiot because These people said if you lighten the load, we will serve you So He does what every good king ought to do at least first initially He consults the elders King rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father salamone while he was still alive saying how do you counsel me They said well, you ought to go ahead and lighten the load But then what does he do? He does what every idiot does He go i'm sorry young folk. I'm sorry. But so what does he do? Then he goes to the young people. Let's see where he uh Verse eight, but he forcibly counseled the elders which which they had given him And consulted with the young man who grew up with him his homeboys his buddies his homies So they so he said to them What do you think I should what counsel you give me the young man who grew up with him spoke saying thus Thus you should say to this people Who spoke to you saying your father made our yoke heavy now you make it lighter for us But you shall speak to them my little finger is thicker than my father's loins his waist his thigh In other words, who you think I am I'm listening I'm This braggadocious nature Yeah, you don't come to us and make it into mass. I'll tell you what I'm gonna make it heavier well What do they say? Youth is wasted on the young certainly in this case that Why would you just ignore the advice of the elders and he does he ignores the advice of the elders? And so what do they do? They go off to be with This other guy this other fellow Jeroboam then Jeroboam and all the people came to Redbone on the third day As the king had directed saying return to me on the third day The king answered the people harshly for he forsook the advice of the elders which he had which had given him And spoke to them according to the advice my father made our yoke your yoke heavy But I will add to your yoke my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions Now they look tough talk. It's a good way to have a coup That's a good way to get that's that's a good way to get assassinated. He's don't get It's a good way for a dictator to get assassinated, right? Anyway So the king did not listen to the people for it was a turn of events from the lord That he might establish his word with the lord Spoken through haja to Jeroboam the son of Nebat When all israel saw that the king did not listen to them the people answered the king saying What portion do we have and they remember this happened? This came up before this was also spoken in second Samuel When they were like wait a second david we don't you're only for your people We have no portion in you this was brought up again We have no hair inheritance in the son of jesse to our tents. Oh israel now look after your own house david So israel departed to their tents, but as for the sons of israel who lived in the cities of juda Red bull rain over there the king of red bull sent out around who was over the forced labor and all israel's stone So he goes hey, he sends his one of his henchmen to go bring them back Red bull is nothing brightest. Let's just say that he's not the brightest not the wisest So verse 19 Israel has been in rebellion against the house of david to this day And it came about when all israel heard that jeroboam had returned That they sent and called him to assembly and made him king over israel None but the tribe of juda followed the house of david also, we're gonna find out that I'm sorry benjamin also verse let's go to verse 21 now when red bull had come to drusim He had assembled all the house of juda and the tribe of benjamin 180,000 chosen men who were warriors to fight against the house of israel to restore the king And so he's going to fight this war this battle But the word of god came to shamiah the men of god saying speak to red bull and the son of salamon king of juda and to all the house of juda and benjamin And and to the rest of the people saying thus as a lord You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of israel return every man to his house Where this thing has come from me This notice what he said this is goddess and this has come from me So they listen to the word of the lord and they return their way According to the word of the lord, so We're not going to fight because god is saying i mean it This is coming from me. We're not going to read but if we drop a little bit further He goes and he starts to matter of fact. We have to i'm sorry. We need to we need to But there's a problem that's going to happen here Remember that promise that the lord made to jeroboam now. He's giving him a big cut. He's giving him 10 of the 12 You would think there would be some gratitude but no Because we're going to have these evil wicked leaders in the north and in the south now before we continue Remember the old testament timeline. This is going to start coming into play here Notice what we have we have we have these prophets We have these we're going to have eventually two prophets to the northern kingdom And we're going to have all of these other prophets one two three four five We're going to have six prophets to the southern kingdom So we're going to have different prophets prophesied of different people different groups And there is a reason for that so just remember that we haven't gotten there yet But just remember that but now in first kings 1225 Then jeroboam built in chicam chicam in the hill country of Ephraim And lived there by the way the name for israel you'll find it will go back and forth Either for the name will be israel or the name will be Ephraim They mean the same thing. They're being used interchangeably. Okay, so when you hear Ephraim and you hear israel You're thinking the same thing. Okay Verse 26 jeroboam said in his heart now the no now listen to what he says This is violent evil and wicked, but it's kind of reminiscent of what israel is Jeroboam said in his heart now the kingdom will return to the house of david If this people go up and offer sacrifices in the house of the lord at Jerusalem So rather than going to Jerusalem and make offering sacrifices Which they were supposed to but I don't do that Then then the heart of his people will return to their lord Even to rebel on the king of juda and they will kill me and return to rebel on the king of juda now He didn't want to lose his place and did not want them in doing so turning their hearts to the lord How diabolical how despicable? We see that nowadays, right? I don't want I'd much rather you serve me than serve god That's certainly what's happening here So the king consulted and made two golden cast and he said to them It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Behold your gods. Here are your gods right here. Oh israel That I that I brought up from the land of egypt Hmm Hmm Interesting that even make that statement Interesting that jeroboam would make this statement behold your gods. Oh israel that I brought you up from the land of egypt Because maybe they don't they need to be reminded. I don't know. I don't know why it makes a statement Because to invoke coming up out of egypt also invokes what they did when they came up out of egypt by making these what golden calves that they're making here And so interesting Things that make you say hmm verse 29 He set one in bethah and the other he put in dan Now this thing became a sin for the people Uh went to worship before the one as far as dan and he made houses on high places And made priests from among all the people who were not of the sons of levi so i'm also my nose god because guess what? Levi where's levi well levi is in the north and in the south levi didn't have a place And so they're gonna you're gonna have priests of levi there as well But just so that we don't have these levis telling us how worship ought to be done. I won't choose them I will not choose Actual authentic priests. I will not choose the the who are supposed to be the men of god We'll make our own What do we see today by the way guys just a little side note. We see the same thing Let's not choose qualified men who know the scriptures. Let's not choose men who understand the word of god Let's go and promote other folks who have the best interests of the people Not so much the interests of god. I think that's kind of what we see here He says uh verse 32 jeroboam instituted a feast. Look what he says. No, this is this is horrible right here Jeroboam instituted a feast in the eighth month on the 15th day of the month like the feast which is in judah And he went up to the altar. Thus. He did it in Bethel sacrificing two calves Which he had made and stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places Which he had made now we're going to stop there reading about more of the insulting thing that he's doing But what is so significant about jeroboam? Having this feast in the eighth month on the 15th day Just like the one is in judah. What what feast do we have in judah in the eighth month on the 15th day? Does anybody know what feast that is does anybody know what that is what this is rivaling? Can anyone point out? What jeroboam has just taken away from 10 tribes in israel and this is this is vitally important close close spider monkey Close anola He's just taken away ladies and gentlemen He is just This is the day of atonement that was given for israel That is the day for the day of atonement. Well, let's see Couple things To give these offerings and sacrifices throughout throughout the year You won't have those because rather than doing them in the prescribed place in jerusalem We're going to make up our own little alters with our own little calves and so forth and then The day of atonement at pasha. We don't need that day of atonement day of atonement moment. We don't need it We'll do our own You don't even have you don't even have a way to even be saved now You don't even have a way to be atoned for If you're going to do that And that's what he's done That's always that's always going to be the plan of the enemy if it if it all possible to cut off salvation or atonement Don't do it this way do it that way Don't believe this believe that don't go here go there. This is what we're seeing Now let's back up a little bit further because we've got to cover something Because none of this is to not be expected First of all, let's go back to Deuteronomy Have you all ever heard people say we're blessed in the city bless in the fields Bless when we come and when we go Now by the way there's a song with that with those exact same words as well, but have you all ever heard that? Have you all ever heard people say this is I'm the head not the tail blessing the city bless one Have you heard that before? I'm pretty sure it's Fred Hammond yet Fred Hammond does sing that song, but have you guys heard that before? We love and I mean love we love to take the blessings of israel And apply it to ourselves I understand I understand there's a whole lot of israel envy A whole lot of israel envy now If you want to make that apply to you fun not knock yourself out knock yourself out Knock yourself out. Let's go and look at that. Shall we? Because there's something that comes with that let's start in verse four Bless shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your bees The increase of your herd and the young of your flock Bless shall you be I shall be your baskets and bless shall your kneading bone Bless shall you be when you come in and bless shall you be when you go out The Lord shall cause your enemies to rise up against you to be defeated before you That's wonderful. That is so awesome. So wonderful. Praise god I like that blessing. I'm blessed coming in going out. I'm my bowls are blessed everything about me is blessed However Because that's not the end of it. Let's drop down a little bit further. Let's go to verse 14 I'm sorry for first 15, but it should come about if you do not obey the lord your god And they don't and we don't none of us do To obey the lord your god to observe to do all his commandments and his statues With which I charge you today That all these curses will come up on you curse. Shall you be in the city curse? You mean tell me what he's saying? So the opposite of bless when we come and when we go is curse Shall we be when we come when we go? Yeah curse should be your baskets and your kneading bowls Curse shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of the ground The increase of your herd and the young of your flock Curse shall be when you come in and curse shall be when you go out The lord will send a point. Now here it is. This is where we are today or at least where we are in terms of where we are in in First kings with soloments and israel being torn in half The lord will make the pestilence cling to you until he has consumed you from the land Where you are entering to possess it. So before you go into that land I'm telling you now when you disobey the lord will make pestilence cling to you until he has Consumed you from the land until he's gotten rid of you. So you're all gone verse 22 The lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with Inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew The lord is going to mess you up. He's going to mess you up verse 24 The lord will make the rain of your land powder And dust from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed The lord shall cause you to be defeated before your enemies You will go out one way against them, but you will flee seven ways before them It's not going to look good for you israel because you are going to or when you disobey if you disobey Verse 27 the lord will smite you with the boils of egypt and with the tumors and with the scabs and with the torch and with the itch And you cannot be healed. There will not be any healing So when we even go to that other passage in isaac 54 17 Again, you've got to figure out how it's applied who it's applied to to what context when he says that No weapon formed against yourself prosper, but what if god forms a weapon? It will prosper Then he says verse 28 the lord will smite you with madness and with blindness and with the wilderness of heart Let's drop down. I want to get to a particular passage Your sons and daughters verse 32 shall be given to another people while your eyes look on and yearn for them Continually, but there will be nothing you can do Wow You can't do anything god is saying A people whom you do not know shall eat the up the produce of your ground and all your labor And you will and you will never be anything but oppressed and crushed continually You shall be driven mad by the sight of what you see the lord will strike you on the knees and legs with sores With sore boils From which you cannot be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head The lord will bring you and your look what he says now This part right here is vitally important. Notice what he says The lord will bring you and your king Whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known And there you shall serve other gods wood and stone You shall become a horror and a proverb or in other words a byword a proverb And a taunt among all the people where the lord drives you. Did you catch that? I don't know if you caught that guys. I don't know if you caught that Notice what he says and it's like wait a second god that part seems out of place Let's pause for a second. Let's go back in time. We are no longer At about 900 bc We're going to go back further to Right before they enter the land to Deuteronomy and let's let's let's think the way they're thinking Okay, I know it's hard, but think the way they are thinking in Deuteronomy What was weird about what god just said if they disobey? There was a word that was put in there that wait a second god, huh? What are you talking about as a matter of fact that word that god throws in there? They won't see for at least a thousand years There's a word that's put in there and like again lord god you're confusing me Because remember god does not explain everything but god knows everything he put something in there No, let's go back to it and the key is in verse 36 Notice what he says then the lord will bring you and your king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your Fathers have known and their show there you shall serve other gods wood and stone now and put it back on the screen again What is odd? What is interesting or seemingly out of place that god says there you go spider monkey King What king we ain't got no king we don't have there your dutch Dutch with the power sideburns Dutch who hates bald people not hate but hates on bald people it's okay though Kings we don't we don't we don't have any kings or we don't have we don't have no stinking kings We don't have any kings What do you mean god? Notice what he says though the lord will bring you and your king whom you whom you Set over you to a nation with so where'd this king come from? Well, remember back when samuel was the prophet They said give us a king So that we can have we can't we want a king like other nations. We don't Sick of following you we want a king Now remember in genesis they were also said the scepter shall not depart you we what scepter we don't have a king And then you bring this up here in Deuteronomy Maybe if you guys start taking notes These jews need a good bible study method If they need a good bible study method Or they can just take some notes get some highlighter highlight highlight purple for the king whenever you see king or scepter Highlight that in purple. Let's just make it easy Purple cuz you won't see it there that often, but when you say, you'll know king, huh? You guys chose a king It would help if you read the scriptures It it really would that's why later on the scriptures time out. I haven't earned this year I have to jump for because it's a good point That's why jesus makes a statement to a teacher of israel. He says you a teacher of israel don't know this It's there Everything that's going to be brought up in the new testament is here in not everything I shouldn't say but what he's building off of this should come as no surprise Two things should come as no surprise salvation to to the jews But also salvation to everyone else the holy spirit come important That should not come as a surprise because we're going to hear about this as we go And what god is doing? Okay time out. We're back going back to where we are Scratch what I just said about about jesus. We haven't heard about jesus yet, but Isn't it interesting that that's what's being brought up? God is stating that's what's going to happen to even to this king that you don't even know about Into a land that you haven't gone into because you guys are going to be disobedient little disobedient little somethings you Now Notice what he says. So you hear this this theme throughout the scriptures You'll hear this thing throughout the scriptures where he says Like we see in leviticus 26 He says let's go. Let's let's start in verse 40 If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers in their unfaithfulness which they committed against me And also in their acting with hostility against me I also was acting with hostility against them to bring them into the land of their enemies. So he's saying Remember, he's already told them when you mess up. I'm putting you out of the land I'm kicking you out now in 26 and 25. He's spoken about how they have to have this land Sabbath also So you being idolaters and not keeping the Sabbath with yourself and with the land I'm putting you out. Why for the sake of the land I'm the reason why I'm putting you out of the land because think about it. God could have just Could have destroyed israel. He could have afflicted israel all he wanted And kept him in israel in doing so He didn't need to He didn't need to put them out, did he? He didn't I'm sorry. I'm looking at something else He didn't need to necessarily put them out of the land to do so. He could have done so with or without them being in israel But he tells us we we saw before that he's going to do this for the sake of the land that land means something What did he tell abraham? I'm taking you to a land a land that I will show you I'm preparing this land and while you're out this land is actually going to have some some rest because you heathens Are going to put out so he's coming. So he's so he's this is what he's speaking of here in in leviticus 26 I was also acting with hostility against you Going down so or if their uncircumcised heart becomes so let's let's say in 41 I was also acting with hostility against them to bring them into the land of their enemies or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled So that they make then amends for their iniquity Then as he says I will remember also my covenant with isaac and my covenant with abraham As well and I will remember the land. So what is he going to do? I'm going to remember the covenant with who the covenant that I made with isaac Um with jacob, but just as importantly even more importantly my covenant with abraham I am going to remember that not because of you Not because matter of fact, it it couldn't be because of you you guys aren't worth remembering But I'm a god who will keep my own words and because I made this promise With israel because I make this problem with abraham with isaac and jacob The promise that I make I'm going to remember my covenant. So I am going to destroy you from the land I'm going to take you out of the land, but I'll bring you back. We already know that's going to happen And so what's happening is He's setting this up. They have not been taken out of the land But he's dividing them up right now. And so as he's dividing them up. What's next? I remember everything that god said he is going to do either good or bad to them He has done or will do Okay everything I'm out for a second. Why is that so important? And I'll answer some of you guys's question. Why is that so important? Well going forward When we look to this issue of salvation God is going to keep his promises Not for our sake Not because we're so worthy because we deserve it because of his name sake when he makes a promise You can bank on that promise And his promises his status his promises are forever Hey, man, so may I ask a couple of these questions and we can go ahead and move out of here? By the way, uh, federal exit theology or also known as 6089. Thank you so much for the super chat Uh, why do the majority of people support the palestinian cause because the land below I don't you know what the reason is They don't know either Matter of fact, if you were to ask there are videos out there on youtube and and facebook and so forth where you see people Uh, who are nozzles of the history engaging people here, especially those here in america who are pro palestinian And asking them whose land is it whose land it was before even before 1948? Who's left and where the name came from and so forth and you finally people just sucking for air because they can't figure out how to add to this The reason why though Ultimately the reason why they have this this view this feeling. I even I did a video. I'm not sure what I can remember the name of the video I can figure it out though something about why why is this happening in israel? When is real was in the land And this is around around the time of the war And this is around around the time of joshua Because they did not drive all the inhabitants out God makes a statement that is still true. He says that because you didn't do so I won't do so as a matter of fact. I'm going to keep those people in the land To be a prick and a thorn in your side Forever not forever until he comes back to remove them And so and plus their name is going to be There's going to be disdain for their name throughout the world. And so that's the reason why In many cases some cases they just don't realize there is a a demonic influence not that they are possessed or anything like that but Because the god of this world As he says that's blinded eyes not just of them but also other people and there is going to be this natural disdain for israel So I get mixed up sometimes I hear I hear from you and my pastor the same things But it sounds different from all the new testament kings are one and blessed coming and going Okay, well The only ones that are blessed come in going are are those jews The only promise that that's been made to bless come in going are those jews and that's only if That's only if they obey the problem is they don't obey And so that particular promise does not hold any water for them. So It was a promise that that was never going to be fulfilled because they were never going it now God would have kept his promise he was fulfilled it But they were never going to as a matter of fact when he talks about them Going to the land. He also tells him that he's going to put them out of the land Oh, you mean why why they were put out? They were put out of the land It well their sin obviously was one of the issues but their sin led them the reason They were going to be they were going to be afflicted because god could have put them into slavery And afflicted them while they were in the land But the problem was as far as the land is concerned He says that if you don't do this and I'll put you out of the land And and putting you out of the land the land will then get its rest So How many years were they put out of the land? Well, they were put out of the land for 70 years Why were they put out of the land for 70 years because they violated the land Sabbath 70 times now When they're getting ready and we'll even we hadn't earned this shit when they're getting ready To go back into the land after let's put it back on the screen If you notice here, we have these We have these different prophets. We have the prophets that are the prophets during the exile Notice one of the prophets in the exile y'all see the the prophets we we have lamentations We have Ezekiel You see that third prophet Daniel Daniel is a prophet Of israel all of them during when? During the exile And so what is going to happen? What is what is what is Daniel praying for it? Daniel is now praying? All right, god He's getting close to time It's almost time this seven years up what's gonna happen because Daniel has a concern about his people israel And it's important to understand his people israel. So the so the prayer is answered And so here he is standing before the angel and angel says what? The angel says does he remember remember what and why Is said to daniel what is said to daniel first of all? What what does the angel say to daniel and then why does he say this to daniel? I think you guys will you guys will be able to get this And i'm gonna wait for you guys. I want I want I need you guys to answer this What is the the answer to god? I mean to daniel's concern about israel as they're going back He's concerned about israel going back to the land and the angel gives him an answer regarding israel going back into the land And You didn't write it down. Well doggone write it down You when I say you go you're gonna like oh, you know what that's right So I'm and I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait for you guys to give me this answer There we go. Don't go on an arsenal. There we go I'm pushing the wrong button The response from the angel is 70 times 70 70 what he says 70 weeks or 77s. Why is that important? Because god has a awesome sense of humor You have you have these sevens that you have to observe And you violated the sevens how many times 70 so 70 sevens have been decreed 70 Sets of sevens have been decreed. Why well, I'm going to do that We haven't gotten there yet, but I'm gonna do something in these different sets of seven And there is one seven that is yet to come I don't care how anyone if they disagree with this understanding. That's fine You couldn't find there is no other rationale that's out there to uh to compensate for that last seven that's there You could not say that 70 consecutive sevens show up because that last seven or what happens at last seven Matter of fact, it couldn't be 70 consecutive sevens because in between the it's it literally states that missile will be cut off And then the last seven so There's just there's only one way that works. By the way, that's the way god meant it to be and god is not trying to fool us Excuse me, and so there's a reason why that and that all goes back to then violating the land Sabbath 70 times 70 times they violated and why did they do so? Well, this is this is what the This was the reason the rationale for god putting them out of the land They are going to be cut off. They're going to be divided and brought back And in the midst of that and in the midst of that all of that being stated god has thrown little Little nuggets in there God has put little nuggets all throughout even up to now Even thus far that we've read he's put little nuggets in there That have nothing to do with israel or they have something to do with israel But they concern us what god is going to do concerning us. He hadn't mentioned this by name Sort of he calls this us this these people who are out of people These people who are not beloved to be beloved. He is mentioning mentioning us and so God is also stating what he's going to do not just for israel But for the work because remember the first The first major covenant The covenant whereby all the other covenants flow Abrahamic covenant and in verse three of chapter 12. He says and through you All the nations or all the families of the earth shall be blessed Are the jews that were in the holocaust considered some of the real jews? I think so I think so. I don't know. I can't there's there's just no way to know for sure If these are the actual how many of them were actual jews What have you because what did what did jews do like everybody else? They married and intermediate with other people and so Who knows there's just no way to know however. We can't say this We can say this we're going to cover this we're going to do something that I kind of want to do but don't want to do Y'all know we have a hebra israelite ban. That is if they tell us they're hebra israelites If you're hebra israelite and you sit and you you know, you behave which most let's be honest most don't Then fine. You're welcome But we're going to take the ban off Next month for a few days Because we're going to cover this issue And one of the issues that is vital important that they and everyone else needs to understand Is that there must be at least not all I'm not saying all the jews in israel are true jews. That's what I'm saying But there must be some true jews in israel has to be Because god is not going to do certain things unless they're there okay God is not touching the hearts of other jews unless they're there Okay, there are some things that his word states that he only he's only going to do After they have been put back into the land so There has to be According to the scriptures some jews true jews that are there now are there some jews that aren't really jews is calling themselves jew Could be I have no idea. There's the only god knows only god knows who's actually i'm gonna eat my Only god knows who's actually who Right the same is when god comes back and and everyone gets a glorified body But what if uh my body was You know What what if you had what what if you had been cremated? Or what if a person lost a leg somewhere well god knows how to put all that together So just like he knows who's who and who's not and so forth so Anyway, all right guys that was that we are Next week we are going to spend some time covering the different kings We're not going to be super We'll be some well, you know, we won't be so exhausted because we're not going to cover every Every king we're just not We'll look at some of the good kings And some of the bad kings remember there's not a good king in israel There are few good kings in juda And we'll cover that as well. Okay, and we'll cover and we'll keep we'll have to keep looking back into what was stated Uh, what do you mean the fit? Yeah in the in the physical location of israel. Yes We have to keep looking back to To uh, what was stated because remember And by the way, that's why it's there you can look at what god said and compare what's happening Oh, you know what dawg on it. That's right. By the way, how do you all think how do you all think? Uh, just something how many books we have to read for seminar tonight. I've got to read Hold on I've got to watch I think one or two lectures And I've got to finish reading. I don't have to read any books that are due for nothing But I do have a couple papers that are coming up So by the way, I found out something this this is pretty cool. I just discovered I just discovered this I just discovered this I don't like writing and I don't like reading. I really don't But I was preparing some notes For a video just, you know, one to have one to be kind of sync matter of fact Here's what's funny the video that I did What video was this? Uh, let me let me pull up real quick. I gotta what videos is that I did I can't I can't remember the video That's that's how crazy it sometimes sometimes this stuff just goes. Oh, there it is. Um, is god speaking to you That video is going to be a pre-recorded video. So, you know, let me just let me let me just do it live That way I could also, you know The difference between me going live versus doing an edit video Sometimes edit videos are I think are better because I can put extra stuff into it But the live videos is just my my personality more I can kind of come alive more because I see reaction What have you I'm that's how I am if I preach to somebody I look at the people I'm like a I'm like a guy on stage if I if I see you not reacting in my dog I'm gonna make it now. I'm not gonna do crazy stuff to make you react, but that's kind of how I how I am so I set and began typing my notes And before you know it dog on it, wouldn't you know it? I end up having a little I'm not I'm not making that I had a one page paper worth of notes I had a one like wow, I said I said I would talk to my wife and honey I actually just I just typed a paper Didn't I I I believe the notes because I didn't need them anymore was like that's all that's all that's a lot of notes That I just I just kept going and kept going and kept going and kept going and thank god that when I was younger I learned how to type I can't type fast Um, but I can type depending upon what the words are between 40 45 words a minute I could probably type 120 words per minute, but none will be correct, but I can I can you know And so I looked up at and so typing these papers up won't be that difficult. So I hope not Y'all see what Dutch is doing Dutch is listen And I won't go I can't go in on them because it's just with me, right But I'm like the comedian on stage. You don't want that you do not want to heckle my brother My dumb brother chris he he's learning this He he comes back at me and chris. Why are you why are you doing this? I did listen I'll be here all week. Don't don't don't do this. I will Because when we're growing up, that's what we did. We we we talked about each other That was that was that was fun Yeah, your mom was built like a toaster that kind of stuff. That's what we did, right? You built like your microwave don't work that kind of you know, just just stupid stuff You look like the play-doh man. So just silly stuff. Don't do stuff To so anyway So but I but dutch. I love you. So I won't do that with you Anyway, anyway, stop. Let's get serious But I hope you guys can see the benefit of looking at what the word of God says And then comparing to what he's doing because no listen. He does not leave you lacking He doesn't leave you lacking What he's saying so I can promise you if he's doing something to israel they were warned about it and oh By we go oh by the way we go back and look and he even gave you detail Because think about it And we did this and intentionally when we read doing around we read those passages before We didn't talk about this king We read over Genesis 49 before we didn't go as far into it matter of fact, we didn't talk about the uh the cult That jesus is going to write on he's speaking about that there's a lot of things that he said specifically that we don't cover That's what I want you guys to get To see the preciseness of god and that he says what he means means what he says and everything that he says is going to come to fruition What is my take on okay? This is okay. I shouldn't answer because we can go somewhere with this but What is my take on an elect you mean whether there will whether there will be an election this year No, I don't see why listen. We don't have an election this year. Then something has happened If we don't have an election this year, I can something bad has happened Something horrible has happened Who to vote for? We will we'll get political on the other channel. We'll talk about some things on the other channel We cannot do it on this channel, but the uh what I call the fun channel We'll talk about it over there. Okay. We'll we'll we'll get political We'll as we go we'll talk more about about race We'll talk more about this the one thing that we really want to talk about on youtube We'll do it on If I ever just released it. I already had the video. We'll talk about The alphabet people and certain people that want to change Their chromosomal makeup on the outside. We'll talk about them on on patreon And you'll see kind of what i'm what i'm what i'm saying. It's just What i've seen because i've been with them a lot by being in prison They're all throughout the prison so When I do these videos the video the videos sometimes uh trade Sometimes they aren't as as long and hard So something like this you there's a video that you all will see just a little bit on the other channel It didn't take long at all didn't take long and it is it's bad I will say this though as bad as it is It's not in Atlanta. That's the good news. It's not in Atlanta. So anyway, all right guys love you so much Again, if you have not gone to patreon if you're not taking the uh the little seminary style classes go there They will help you I promise you and we're gonna add more and more and more We're gonna dump more and more on you gonna push you more and more We're gonna stretch you we're gonna. I'm gonna make you prove your point Even if you're right I'm gonna make you prove it. You're right. If you're wrong. I'm gonna we're gonna listen We're gonna make you feel bad and I'm gonna make you about being wrong But the goal is just to make you get used to look at the there's gonna be homework There's gonna be actual grades on this If you don't know I won't tell you I won't tell you what the homework is and I won't tell you what the subsequent homework is Lekisa do not tell them what the set the The subs the slack the subsequent homework is after that Because I don't want to upset them I don't want to upset them, but they will be Oh man, are you serious?
