so I just want to pray for us lord help
us every day to be disciplined to read
your word to speak it out to hear
ourselves
there is a second half to his mission
and that he will not come as a suffering
servant but as a conquering king he will
not come as a meek lamb but he will come
as a roaring lion and when he comes the
second time it will not be to die for
our sins but it will be to judge the
world of their sins and to establish his
kingdom upon the earth
[Music]
good morning everyone
[Music]
when I started thinking about our
meeting today this morning with God
[Music]
I was thinking of this upcoming weekend
which is Passover
and every family in the people of Israel
are busy cleaning out their home taking
out the yeast the leaven scrubbing every
room
they work so hard to get deep into it
[Music]
but I thought we have a gift we have a
privilege
[Music]
and I remembered what King David wrote
in Psalm 51 verse 12
he spoke about the true cleansing
and that's what I feel the Lord wants to
speak to us
today elohim
it says "Create in me a clean heart oh
God and renew a steadfast spirit within
[Music]
me." King David isn't asking for an
external
cleaning but this is after he sinned
with Basha and he wants a true inward
deep cleaning
and that's what God wants us to ask from
him in this
season that's what God wants the people
of Israel to ask a true
[Music]
cleansing so Father in heaven thank you
for your
grace thank you that you only can do
true cleansing in our hearts
this morning we ask for a true deep
cleansing in each and every one of our
lives and we ask for true cleansing and
forgiveness of sins for the people of
Israel
[Music]
we call on you this morning and we ask
for forgiveness of sins
that this Passover would be a Passover
of deep deep true cleaning and cleansing
thank you Lord that you hear prayers
[Music]
and thank you for your grace
[Music]
it's also so clear that David saw he
couldn't do it himself
he said "Create it create it
it's something we can't do on our
own it's too deep of a clean
we could clean maybe a half on our
own but the full job is something that
only he can do cuz it has to be created
a new creation amen
[Music]
hallelujah let's bring this before
only God can create in us a new heart
above our
expectations hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah

God lord as we approach the season when
your identity your ministry Lord as the
lamb of God Lord the lamb of God whose
blood we remember being shed on the
doorpost of our ancestors before leaving
Egypt oh God as our people celebrate the
Passover which seems more real the
Exodus Passover story more real to us
this year than in at any other time in
our lives where our people are crying
out to you where many are desperate for
you where the hostages are surely
desperate for you those who can identify
with the Exodus story Lord as probably
none of us uh otherwise can oh God would
you begin Lord to remove that veil
that's described in 2 Corinthians
chapter 3 where you say that there is a
veil over the eyes and hearts and minds
of the Jewish people when Moses is read
but if anyone turns to the Lord the veil
is removed and so God as hearts and
minds are turning to you let there be
now in this land a uh a piercing a uh
tearing apart of that veil even as there
was a tearing apart of the veil in the
temple of God after the crucifixion let
the veil be torn over the minds and
hearts of our people as never before
that they may behold the lamb of God who
takes away the sins of the world and we
are in agreement before your throne of
grace for the truth of your word that
there is no other name given to us under
heaven by which we must be saved reveal
oh God the true face of Yeshua to our
people to your people for in his name
and for his glory amen
just want to continue on that prayer
that Father the time of the Exodus you
didn't
just remove the slave people you
demonstrated to the whole world your
power your power Lord your glory you
brought plagues upon the kingdom of evil
you brought to their knees the evil
kingdom Lord you brought out you let so
that everyone in the whole world heard
the story and father we pray that we're
going to come out of this season that
your hand Lord we ask you yes rescue the
hostages but Lord we're asking you for
your mighty arm to be shown that every
single nation Lord from China from India
from Russia to America to Europe to
Africa lord we pray for every nation to
know that there is a God in Israel that
he is all powerful that he is the only
God he is the only true God and he
brings justice and punishment and
destruction to the forces of evil in
Yeshua's name

[Music]
Yeshua praying for salvation of Israel
out of Romans 10 1
or brethren my heart's desire and prayer
to God for Israel is that they may be
saved for I bear them witness that they
have a zeal for God but not according to
knowledge for they being ignorant of
God's righteousness and seeking to
establish their own righteousness have
not submitted to the righteousness of
God for Messiah is the end of the law
for righteousness to everyone who
believes
father as your son said it's not the
healthy that needs a doctor but the sick
and we ask Lord God as Lord many are
believing whether Jews and Muslims and
maybe even some Christians that through
their religious works that they can be
saved we ask God that Lord you would
Lord as that uh tax collector came
before you and said God have mercy upon
me a sinner god I ask for conviction
release the spirit of fear of the Lord
God upon Jew and Arab and others Lord
God in this city in this land lord that
Lord that Yeah apart from your son Lord
like that Pharisee that prided himself
in prayer and fasting giving alms and
looking down at others seeing himself as
more righteous you resist the proud but
give grace to the humble and so we cry
out "Father have mercy for every
spiritual pride in this city god we ask
for conviction of sin and only that in
your son's righteousness will our sin be
atoned for only by his blood many call
upon the name of Yeshua in this Passover
and be saved in Yeshua's name." Amen
we make
you

hallelujah
[Music]
the word of God says "For do you not
know that you are the temple of the Holy
Spirit and he dwells inside of you?"
What a privilege
that the spirit of God is in the very
DNA of each one of us
[Music]
and when I think about it there's only
one reason
[Music]
and it's because the very God sitting in
the heavens above paid the price for
each one of us to be with him yeshua
Hamashiach and that's Yeshua the Messiah
yeshua Hamashiach the blood of Yeshua
the Messiah
[Music]
and in order to receive life in order to
receive
protection it blood needs to be spilled
hallelujah
[Music]
and that's the precious blood of Yeshua
our Messiah
we can see in Egypt the lamb's blood on
the doorpost
[Music]
that protected the lives of the
firstborn of the
Jews but the blood of Yeshua the Messiah
is not only for the people of Israel
it's blood that covers everyone no
matter who we
[Music]
are so thank you Father for your
[Music]
blood it's blood that doesn't just give
protection but it gives eternal
[Music]
life it's blood that gives life it
brings the dead to life
[Music]
father thank you for reminding us that
your blood is so much more powerful
the people of Israel need your
blood we need in our own lives to
recognize the power of your blood
thank you for your love and your grace
thank you for the price that you paid
[Music]
and this Passover we bring all the
people of Israel before you in
[Music]
prayer we bring before you all those who
have gotten lost
[Music]
we declare life over every place that is
dead and asleep
thank you Lord that the blood of Yeshua
has overcome the world hallelujah
aba Father I just I want to repent for
the
nations God the nations who do not
recognize Pesak
Passover God but we just jump right to
Easter because Lord it's out of Pesak
that you created a
people your people the only nation God
that you made a covenant
with and you have a purpose for
Israel always and to the
end so Aba Father God I ask on behalf of
the nations oh Lord that you would
forgive
us forgive us oh God for forgetting your
people
Israel especially at this time of Pesak
where so many don't even know what Pesak
is
but we only think of Easter about Yeshua
and we know that is the culmination of
everything yeshua you are the king that
brings salvation to the
world but oh God forgive us
Lord forgive us oh God aba
father for not
remembering
Israel we repent God i repent oh God on
behalf of the
nations lord I repent
God father I ask Lord this Passover God
you would remove the veil from the
church from the nations oh
God remove the veil oh Lord that we
would see the fullness of your
plan the full plan of restoration that
involves your people Israel God
lord that as you remove the veil from
your people Israel God you would remove
the veil from the church in the nations
Lord open our eyes
Lord open our eyes oh God to your
wonderful and masterful plan of
redemption for the whole world

pray in the name of Yeshua

Aba lord on the 10th day of the first
month you stopped the Jordan River and
Israel entered the promise finally Lord
and on the 10th day of the first
month we brought the lambs into our
house to observe the lamb
and so Lord I ask that this time this
day
Lord you you would send your spirit to
allow Israel to enter the promise fully
Lord and as they look upon the lamb Lord
that eyes would be opened hearts would
be opened that your spirit of grace and
supplication would be pouring out poured
out
Lord upon the household of David the
inhabitant of Jerusalem and all Israel
and we would look upon you who was
pierced Lord and mourned for your son as
one mourns for a firstborn let this your
spirit the same wind of your spirit that
parted the Red Sea do that for our
people now Lord for your people thank
you Lord
[Music]
lord you said through the prophet Isaiah
that Israel had had a spirit of harlotry
within her that they did not know the
Lord moreover the pride of Israel
testified against her and Lord you said
"I will go away and return to my place
until my people acknowledge their guilt
and seek my face." In their affliction
they will earnestly seek me says the
Lord israel responds "Come let us return
to the Lord for he has torn us but he
will heal us he has wounded us but he
will bandage us he will revive us after
two days he will raise us up on the
third day that we may live before him so
let us know yes let us press on to know
the Lord his going forth is as certain
as the dawn he will come to us like rain
like the spring rain watering the earth
aba I'm asking in this time Lord in this
season that you would respond to
Israel's cry Lord the seeking and the
searching Lord that you would come to
this nation like rain that you would
fall Lord that you said in the last days
that you would pour out your spirit on
all flesh lord we ask that in this last
days era Lord that you would pour out
the Holy Spirit on Israel that you would
pour out the spirit on Jews and Arabs
Lord the nations that are here in this
country Lord that in the midst of the
harlotry in the midst of of the turning
aside from the Lord that now there would
be a turning now there would be a
turning yes let us seek the Lord let us
know him bashim
Yeshua hallelujah well um thank you for
the wonderful worship i want us to pray
one more prayer before we end right now
as we're here praying there's a very
heated discussion going on in the
Supreme Court which is right
there and uh it's so loud I can hear
them from my apartment i can hear them
screaming uh but uh anyway there's about
four or five issues uh here in which
there's a clash between the Supreme
Court and the um and the executive
branch and uh they're they're coming
they all come up over the next few
months and they really will determine a
lot what happens in Israel they're very
complex issues the one issue today that
they're talking about is whether
Netanyah has the right to fire the
previous uh Shabbach leader Ronin Bar
and but there's several coming up after
that and u we as the believers here
sometimes are on one side of the issues
and sometimes on the other side of the
issue so uh we just really need to pray
for righteousness this is a key issue
and it's kind of a domino effect on a
lot of different things we don't want to
go into all the politics but we can pray
for righteousness so let's just reach
out our hands it's right about right
over there right on the other side of
the kitchen right there father we just
thank you Father uh as in with the
Supreme Court of Bagots they're
discussing right now uh the authority of
the government to fire the um chabbak
the internal security uh uh forces
leader Lord and whether to switch him
Lord we pray for righteous decision Lord
righteous decision Lord righteous
decision Father God we thank you Lord
for a a true checks and balances in this
nation Lord God for uh freedom of
religion Lord of righteous standards of
righteous uh uh moral values we thank
you Father and clear functioning of this
government Lord the right balance
between the executive the judicial and
the legislative thank you Father God
we're praying today for the right
decision concerning Ronin Bar Lord and
then the four or five next decisions are
going to have to come over this next two
months we thank you for that happening
Lord in Yeshua's name righteousness
wisdom and justice righteousness wisdom
and justice righteousness wisdom and
justice upon the Supreme Court of Israel
in Yeshua's name amen
hallelujah
thank you Lord
[Music]
there's a few points I want to bring in
closing that I was thinking
[Music]
about the power that each and every one
of us have here
and we said earlier it's by the power of
the blood of Yeshua
and sometimes we make light of that
power we don't think of its power
that each and every one of us here
[Music]
hold that we have forgiveness of sins
what mo many people in the world don't
have
we have a covenant
we have life
true life
we've received such mercy and
[Music]
grace and the most powerful thing that
we have victory at every point in time
[Music]
and we have unity with God oneness with
him and peace with him what many people
don't have
and one last powerful thing we have is
an access into the holy of
holies so Father thank you for reminding
us of this today
thank you for reminding us of your grace
and your victory
father we are children of God
we are beloved
and we are overcomers
thank you for your grace in Yeshua's
name amen amen
well it's good uh to see all of you some
faces people who were away away for the
weekend at a youth camp teaching away uh
in different places people back from New
Jersey from New from New England from
traveling wonderful uh we're continuing
today uh in what will be a three-part
series today's the second one on uh
discernment really is the title uh from
Yeshua's temptations in the wilderness
in Matthew chapter 4 okay and uh the
title of the series is discernment
equals three things if you remember
first one is identity knowing who you
are in God and the second one is of
course the word the voice of God
understanding and discerning when is God
speaking and how and of course obeying
obeying that that word and then the
third thing is the supernatural
discerning what's happening in the
spirit in the spiritual realm in the
supernatural realm so we talked last
time about I'm just going to do a really
quick review like in a minute if you
remember out of the first
temptation Yeshua's finished 40 days of
fasting after he was baptized after he
heard the voice of the father say "This
is my son 40 days are finished it's time
to eat he's hungry and he hears a
voice." And remember I said uh
that went on is that all right
sh I'll just hold
on that's a good reminder to turn off
phones right uh and he we said that um
Yeshua was tempted and tested it's the
same word just like we are remember that
picture I showed you it's not like the
devil came to him in a red suit with
smoke coming out of his nose and talking
like the devil okay because that doesn't
require a great deal of discernment most
5-year-olds who have watched enough
cartoons can discern that that's the bad
guy okay he came he he I believe he came
the devil came to him just as he comes
to us which is through the spirit
through our soul into our mind okay so
that he heard a voice not like a radio
voice in his head but in his mind that
said "If you're really the son of God
speak to this stone and turn it into
bread." Right we remember the test he's
got to go through everything that Israel
and Moses went through 40 days in the
wilderness for him is equal to the 40
years of Israel in the wilderness um
he's going to go through tests just like
Moses did just like the people of Israel
did if you are the son of God this voice
is like you have to prove it remember we
talked about ego if you there's
something of the ego in there i've got
to prove who I am as the son of God wait
a minute i just heard 40 days before the
father said it i don't have to do
anything do I uh holy scripture we
talked about how Yeshua learned for 30
years and we don't it's just 30 years of
his life is we get one or two verses of
summary that's it he lived a normal life
no Harry Potter no magic no supernatural
moving things nothing just a good Jewish
boy sinless who learned the Torah and
the word of God and memorized the whole
thing so that when this time came the
Holy Spirit I was saying the Holy Spirit
is kind of like a browser you know it's
like your internet browser right there's
all this material out there and the
browser just goes and finds it and puts
it together and connects things that's
what the Holy Spirit does but if you
don't have the scriptures if you haven't
done the work of filling up your datab
bank with the scriptures the Holy Spirit
doesn't have much to work with okay and
I told you my story how when I was first
my first year as a believer when I
didn't have much scripture because I
hadn't grown up with it and I didn't you
know I didn't uh learn it I had to have
a lot of supernatural communication from
God directly but then he said go and
learn the scriptures and things changed
okay so that's something else we learned
from that first uh first temptation uh
we learned about where how waiting on
God that the speech of God is not most
of the time we don't hear God speaking
we see the result of his
speech when God God said let there be
light nobody was there to hear that and
he he had to tell Moses thousands of
years later on Mount Si that's how it
happened right but the proof that God
spoke is there was light right the proof
of God providing or speaking mana to the
people of Israel in this Passover season
when they're on their way out of Egypt
uh is nobody heard God say or nobody got
a word or Moses didn't have to command
the mana to come down from heaven god
apparently spoke and there it was a new
thing uh so we have to wait on God
learning to wait on God to change our s
praying waiting for God to change
circumstances and then he's that's how
he speaks most of the time um then we
learned about how also the the
supernatural Yeshua knew from his
reading of scripture and also from the
character of God that there's no
examples of people in the scriptures
doing supernatural things just for
themselves just for fun just to prove it
just cuz they're hungry that all of
Yeshua's signs to feed people were all
in ser in ministry signs that he gave to
help others okay um so we learn we just
we're going through process of
discernment just like he does and it's
all about God testing what's in our
heart and that's where Yeshua finishes
with Deuteronomy 8:3 remember he humbled
you and let you be hungry and fed you
with mana which you did not know nor did
your fathers know this is a new stage in
in history at the Exodus okay and at new
stages in history god does supernatural
things but he does them right um that he
might make you understand that man does
not live by bread alone but man lives by
everything that proceeds out of the
mouth of the Lord and Yeshua's
conclusion
was if God wants to provide supernatural
food for me he would do that and speak
it i don't see it it hasn't happened god
has not spoken i'm going to walk a few
kilometers into the nearest village i'm
hungry i finish my fast i'll ask for
some bread i'll
say I'll pray and thank God for the
miraculous bread that we eat every day
and I'll be a normal human being okay
that's last time now with that
background okay we come to the second
temptation and this is where it gets
really I mean this was I mean he's
tested at a level that none of us are
ever going to be tested okay at that
level there's similarities but this is
really
nasty and clever what the devil does by
the way remember we talked about this
last time we know from the beginning of
the first verse of chapter 4 Matthew
tells us that it's the
devil okay we know but the whole point
of the testing is that Yeshua doesn't
know at the beginning he's in a process
of discernment as the son of God as our
high priest he has to go through
everything that we that we go through uh
so here we are the next temptation the
second one that's what the focus of
today's message is is going to be verses
5-7
then the devil took him there again we
know the devil took
him into the holy city and had him stand
on the pinnacle of the temple yeshua
said to him "Oh I'm sorry i I chopped
off that in my copy paste." And he hears
the v the the in his mind the verses
quoted from Psalm 91 11 and
12 cast yourself down the angels will
gather you in their hand they'll save
you okay jesus said to him "On the other
hand it is written you shall not put the
Lord God your God to the
test."
Wow we don't know exactly what happened
but remember Yeshua is somewhere down
there towards Jericho he's pretty far
from Jerusalem he's in the Judean
wilderness okay suddenly he's at the top
of the temple right over there
we're not told was that a total physical
experience was it in the spirit in other
words it could have been that his body
was still down there near Jericho but he
was but it whatever it is it's
real it's a real test by the way I
checked according to most researchers
the second temple the height the
pinnacle was about 50 m which is about
17 stories 16 17 stories so when you
look out the window here that's about
the height Yeah of the very top of the
temple and you can see down you can see
people it's not like people are little
ants you can see the people and if they
looked up they could see him okay but
it's a height that if you jump and you
know nothing miraculous happens splat
that's it you can call you're you're
going straight to wherever
um so that's where he is well this must
mean that God has spoken cuz it happened
right didn't I say that from the
previous
temptation if if if it happens and it's
super then then God has spoken
right maybe maybe not okay he's really
there he can feel the wind he can hear
the voices down there
and he that same place that same thought
comes to him and says
jump test God okay because it's
written the devil knows the
scriptures oh that's tricky he's been
around a long time he reads them i don't
know in what language Hebrew Greek
Chinese whatever but he can quote them
apparently and use them and mi and
misuse them all right that's what we'll
see so this is a big test right okay you
you say you're not you live only by the
word of God okay only by what God really
does here I'll give you a
supernatural there we are in Jerusalem
they Yeshua knew if he's the Messiah his
ultimate destiny is Jerusalem the temple
and supernatural things are going to
happen there all right this is really a
big test okay as we last time we went
through said okay as Yeshua would knows
the scripture the Holy Spirit helping
him he saw what Moses did at Mibba with
the rock and he instead of speaking to
it he whacked him in the book of numbers
and he got angry we talked about Elijah
and the ravens you remember supplying
him with supernatural food bread and and
meat morning and evening things that
happened supernaturally by way of
provision that neither Moses or Elijah
had to command to happen god did it
right we think okay if the Holy Spirit
is helping Yeshua go through the spir
sort of the the Tanakh the Old Testament
to tell okay what about this what about
is there any precedent for people
testing God in this way and the answer I
couldn't find anything i mean people I
don't know Moses tried to jump off Mount
Si or something i don't think I you know
people doing really dangerous things
intentionally and then expecting God to
just send the angels and save them no I
don't i mean it's it's hard to kind of
find a reference for that that's part
that's one thing is you this is
not this is not biblical this is not
what Moses did this is not what Elijah
did this is not what David did okay and
he and then he answers with this verse
from Deuteronomy 6 and I want us to go
there if you have the Bible remember
we've talked so much also when I was
teaching Romans 9:101 about when the
when there's these quotes in the New
Testament it's just one verse you got to
go back to the
original context and start reading and
you'll find oh this is referencing not
just that one verse but a bunch of other
things so if you go to Deuteronomy 6
okay which of course is also the Shama
and this is after the Shama um
Deuteronomy
6:10 I'll start
then it shall come about when the Lord
your God brings you into the land which
he swore to your fathers Abraham Isaac
and Jacob to give you great and splendid
cities which you did not build and
houses full of all good things which you
did not fill and huned sistns which you
did not dig vineard vineyards and olive
trees which you did not plant and you
eat and are
satisfied then watch yourself that you
do not forget the Lord who brought you
from the land of Egypt out of the house
of slavery you shall fear only the Lord
your God Yhovah your God and you shall
worship him and swear by his name you
shall not follow other gods any of the
gods of the peoples who surround you for
the Lord your God in the midst you in
the midst of you is a jealous God
otherwise the anger of the Lord your God
will be kindled kindled against you and
he will wipe you off the face of the
earth you shall not put the Lord your
God to the test that's what Yeshua
quotes okay as you tested him at
Masa Masa okay you should diligently
keep the commandments etc etc this is
referencing the similar event not the
one in Numbers but the first one in
Exodus 17 when the people complained
bitterly to Moses about the lack of
water they were really really thirsty
and they said "What did you bring us out
here to die in the wilderness?" Okay and
Moses and Aaron cry out to God this time
all right and he says "Take your staff
and go." And he the Lord says "I will
stand on the rock of of Hobb and water
will come from the rock." Okay and it
does and the people are
uh their thirst is quenched okay and
they're happy this is the test and now
this is really different than being at
the top of the temple and thinking of
jumping off okay
but the people think about it was just
the lack of faith god brought us out of
Egypt remember all the signs and wonders
the parting of the Red Sea you read in
Deuteronomy 6 he's promising us the
promised land he's going to take us in
there we're going to have victory we're
going to take over the land people have
prepared it for us miraculous things are
going to happen we're going to have a
great life just believe just keep on
going he's not going to let us die of
thirst that doesn't make sense right so
but they tested God because of their
lack of faith and that's what Yeshua
quotes okay now think we'll think about
that we'll talk about it a little bit
more as uh we go on but that was the the
test of the people of Israel which they
failed and now Yeshua is being tested
and he's going to pass and he's going to
pass with flying colors as we say
because he knows or we don't know how
much he knew exactly at this point
because you see a development in the
gospels of Yeshua starting to announce
what is going to happen at the end his
crucifixion and his
resurrection
okay
yeshua is going to go he's going he's
not testing God he's obeying God but
he's going to do something far more
miraculous than a few angels catching
you falling off a building and that's
that's pretty good what is Yeshua gonna
do what is he going to
do 3 years later he's going to die he's
going to allow himself to be
killed listen to this this is Matthew
27:39 yeshua on the cross
and you'll hear some similar language
from the temptations in the wilderness
at that time two rebels were being
crucified with him one on the right hand
and one on the
left and those passing by were speaking
abusively to him shaking their heads and
saying "You who are going to destroy the
temple and rebuild it in 3 days save
yourself if you are the son of God."
Have we heard that
before come down from the
cross do something
miraculous in the same way the chief
priests also along with the scribes and
elders were mocking him and saying "He
saved others he can't save
himself he's the king of Israel you're
the king of is if you're the king of
Israel come down from the cross and then
we'll believe in you
he's trusted in God let God rescue him
now if he takes pleasure in him they're
quoting scripture for he said "I am the
son of God." And the rebels who had been
crucified with him were also insulting
him in the same way think about
it yeshua who know he in his spirit he
knew this was coming so he's
saying Jerusalem the temple yeah that's
my destiny to to to destroy the temple
and start a whole new temple in my body
my resurrected body after three days but
it's not going to be like this it's not
going to be by jumping off and the
angels saving me and a few may How many
people are going to notice down there
maybe they'll notice maybe they don't no
no no no there's no quickies here we're
going into the land there's an
inheritance it's going to take some time
there's a process i've got to walk it
out and let God don't get ahead of God
let the Father do it he's going to do
some new things just like he did the
time of Mount Si the Exodus the
mana i don't have to work it up i don't
have to do anything
crazy sorry no thanks all right let's um
just look at some of the lessons okay
that we can learn for our own
discernment our own process of
discernment that we learned from this
incident from this second temptation the
first one is not all that glitters is
gold you've all heard that and not
everything supernatural is from
God
ah 2 Thessalonians 2 uh verse 10 then
the law or is it it says 8 through 10
but it's one verse i'm not sure which
one it is uh no it's 8 then that lawless
one will be revealed whom the Lord will
slay with the breath of his mouth and
bring to an end by the appearance of his
coming that is the one whose coming is
in accord with the activity of Satan
with all power and signs and false
wonders it's interesting he's going to
have power especially as we get towards
the end there's going to be signs and
false wonder what's a false wonder i'm
not sure does that mean it actually
happens but it's it's Satan did it and
so you got to be careful or it's a trick
that's not really happening but it's
like smoke and mirrors i don't
know but he's going to have power to
deceive a lot of people by supernatural
or things that look supernatural and we
have to be able to discern that that's
not God um then
um 2 Corinthians 11:14 no wonder for
even Satan disguises himself as an angel
of light angels angels we'll talk about
that in a little bit okay we've we are
not Satan can remember he doesn't come
to us with those like with the pitchfork
and the red suit okay that's not that's
too easy to discern he comes to us as an
angel of light power signs and wonders
he can quote scriptures all kinds of
things um you know I've when I talk
about this um I've noticed over the
years that a lot of where people get
mixed up with the prophetic which is a
supernatural thing uh and especially
people who are coming from a less
charismatic background who aren't used
to it and then they go to some meeting
where there's a prophet or a prophetic
person maybe it's their first time and
the person points them out and says
Um I see I I see you when you were 5
years old and you and your family got in
that car accident right and you
go right that's like supernatural
knowledge a person doesn't know anything
about me and they're pointing out
something that's true right when I was 5
years old I'm not me i'm just saying for
example I was this car accident there
was a traumatic thing in our family and
d
um and people then
assume because that's a
supernatural knowledge that then God
must be speaking and whatever the person
is going to say next to you must also be
from
God i've seen a lot of people get messed
up this way in the prophetic because
guess
what um people you know there are uh
I've spent a lot of time in the Far East
uh there's a long traditions there of
palm reading and uh tarot card reading
and all kinds of other you know
soothsayers and people we here even at
our house in downtown Jerusalem right
across our the alley is a yeshiva
synagogue and there's a a rabbi rabbi
Brener who teaches there um regularly
and people come from all over Israel and
he reads their palms he reads their
palms and prophesies and some people
believe that he has healing powers what
okay um you know now those people and
the ones who who are really good at it
and makes make big money you find them
on the internet horoscopes and all kinds
of do you think it's all
fake a lot of Christians think "Oh it's
all fake cuz it's demons it's not God."
No that people with a little intuition a
little prophetic sort of knowledge can
read sometimes what's happening in the
soul realm that's how I understand it
all right especially if this is why in a
lot of houses of prayer and pro
prophetic places they one of the things
they say is when you people come you
don't know them no prophesying about or
no words of knowledge about with women
especially about having children or
about marriage with men as single men
and women why because the people who
have a woman who is wanting for years
can't get pregnant can't have a child
there's a deep deep soul cry the prayer
that's been going on all for years in
that woman's soul like Hana okay and if
you're just a little you don't need a
lot of training okay you can be
intrigued believer unbeliever you can
pick you can you can sense that okay so
uh we have to be careful okay about how
what what kind of what we do with when
people have that kind of knowledge about
us so they see something it can be a
prophetic word from God it can't how do
we know we have to discern it you have
to listen to it record it write it down
um I
I always when I teach on this on on the
prophetic maybe the most important
scripture in all of of the New Testament
is Revelation 19:10
uh where John has there's a this huge
angel who's been showing him incredible
things and then it says I John fell at
his feet to worship him and he said to
me don't do that I'm a fellow servant of
yours and your brethren who hold the
testimony of Jesus worship God for the
testimony of Jesus is The spirit of
prophecy that means that whatever
prophetic word or insight someone brings
to you if it if what they do with it the
application of I saw this I see your
accident age fin and the trauma it went
through and they start preaching healing
in Jesus's name according to the
testimony of the
gospel of who Jesus is what he did what
he's doing what he does for us in our
lives according to the word of God then
it's kosher then it's from God okay
that's how you judge it if what they
that prophetic knowledge comes or or
that prophetic insight and then what
they do with it
is something speaks something that maybe
is bringing some comfort to you but it's
not according to the testimony of Yeshua
meaning it's a kind of comfort that says
you don't have to
suffer that's not the testimony of
Yeshua
yeshua had to go to the cross we have to
take up our cross we have to deny
ourselves this is the problem with the
what we call the prosperity gospel you
know what I'm talking about where a lot
of the messages God did he did it all
now you can just enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy
all the blessings without any
suffering that's not the testimony of
Yeshua that's not a proper spirit a
prophetic spirit you know what I'm
talking about okay so that's just one of
the one of the examples you think of
where there can be something that is
supernatural
and that's okay someone sees something
but what the application what the the
message is is something you have to
discern and be careful of okay that's
the first lesson the second one is
Jerusalem
syndrome
remember Yeshua knows he He's grow he's
read the scriptures 40 days before he's
declared the son of God he hears that he
knows as the
Messiah he's going to be doing things
for a few years he maybe doesn't know
exactly how long but it's all going to
end up here in Jerusalem and at or near
the temple okay it has to because
Jerusalem is Jerusalem it's Zion the
promises of God there's so much in
scripture and we love preaching about it
and sharing about it here we are in
Jerusalem high up over Jerusalem and we
will share that with the world but you
know there's there's a flip side it can
also be a little bit dangerous it can be
like a drug actually in Zechariah it
says in the end of days he will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling like a drug
to the nations okay a rock of rock of
stumbling as well
um that uh you know here in Jerusalem
we've got to be careful uh cuz it can it
can do some weird things have you ever
heard there's actually a
semi-csychotic experience that they call
Jerusalem syndrome it's on the
psychological books i did a little
research on it it was kind of
interesting there's the people who come
who already have been diagnosed with
some kind of
psychotic thing and then they just it
kind of gets worse that's we're not
talking about that we're talking about
regular normal people they said about
it's like 50/50 between Jews and non-
Messianic Jews and Christians um who
come here usually as part of a group
okay and they actually who's we have
tour guide here too you've been to tour
guide school did they teach you about it
it was saying that they made Yeah they
make sure the tour guides know what to
look for okay because the same it's like
clockwork it's the same thing happens
yeah it's against us okay um is a person
they're in a group and the person starts
to get a little anxious a little start
to act a little differently and then
they want to go separate they want to go
I've got to go pray i've got to go do my
thing right that's the first sign okay I
I need to the group's going I I have to
do something else right and then it h
then they the people become uh kind of
obsessed with purity and cleanliness
they start cutting their nails and
washing and showering all the time and
then they take the bed sheets from their
hotel and they make some kind of white
robe and again nobody's it's not like
they're watching it on YouTube and you
know someone you know oh this is how you
do it it's been happening for years few
people I don't know how many every year
right and they get and then they begin
to have delusions that they're a
biblical character right john the
Baptist Virgin Mary is a big one you
know my son
Jesus and it usually happens to single
it was interesting said 90 something%
it's single men or women i used to think
it was mostly women but actually the
stat says no it's evenly divided um by
the way you know it's interesting it
happens mostly to single single people
you know
inidiced Judaism they have a kind of
rule that is you're not allowed to study
Cabala which is mystical Judaism until
you're married and have one kid at least
one kid then of course they have 10 more
right but you know the the thinking is
if you're you know you got to be rooted
something about marriage family children
keeps you rooted in this world before
you go and start studying the mystical
charismatic stuff right uh so anyway
that's what happens Jerusalem syndrome
and then the people begin to have these
weird experiences and usually it's pre
they you know they take them away they
don't
there's a psychiatric hospital here for
a day just give them a little tranquil
little drug and they send them home and
they're fine and they come out of it
they're not it's not like a but it
happens now I'm not suggesting that's
happening to any of we have to be
careful and you know as things go on and
here in our group people we have all
kinds of people who come here You know
and I just say the people out there if
you're thinking of coming to Jerusalem
if you're alone and as this is
especially if you're alone as soon as
God is telling me to go and intercede it
may be but make sure you've got a group
your pastors leader people are blessing
you people are praying for you don't
come alone you know come with a group
cuz this is the universal center of
spiritual warfare here and weird things
can happen and we don't want them to
happen have it happen to anybody but
there's a good Jerusalem syndrome and
that is we're here we believe in God's
promises to Zion Jerusalem and we're
doing everything we can to hasten his
coming right over there to the Mount of
Olives hallelujah and he's going to be
in dressed in white whiter than the bed
sheets of any hotel hallelujah all right
shining like the sun
amen um that's so that's the the second
one the third lesson here from this this
temptation is rightly understanding the
word of God in
context now if anybody's been to
seminary in these modern times you learn
that historical grammatical contextual
interpretation of scripture in other
words you have to understand scripture
in its original context as best we can
the languages the culture the
archaeology all that kind of stuff okay
it's not something new it's what Yeshua
did right here with Psalm 91 or what the
Holy Spirit helped him to do with Psalm
91 okay so let's look at the kind
remember Psalm 91 11 and 12 that the
devil quotes to him in his mind that you
know just the angels are going to catch
you okay and he quotes accurately the
scripture here are the first two verses
of Psalm 91 when by the way in Hebrew in
those times they didn't have numbers on
the on the Bible there were no chapter
verse numbers they recognized the Psalms
by usually by their first line okay that
was like the title and so they would say
"Hey go to go to they wouldn't say go to
Psalm 91." They'd say go to
beton okay that's the the first line the
first words in Hebrew all right
the one who sits dwells in the secret
place or the secret of Eljon of the
highest and abides in his in Elshadai's
shadow and the one who says to
Jehovah this is verse two my stronghold
my fortress
Elohai my God I trust in him
all right that's the beginning of the
psalm the one who's seated and abiding
in the secret place of God you know this
whole thing about sitting Yeshua where
is he
today he's sitting down where at this
throne at the right hand of the father
in this the huge black hole in the
center of the universe that's what I
believe right we don't we have the
address by
prayer and he's bringing that throne
here the tabernacle of God will be with
men the new Jerusalem okay so he's there
he's sitting he's not standing what does
that
mean he's resting it's
done he's remember how confident he was
remember this is all about
identity if you're the son of God yeah
I'm the son of God i'm going to be
seated at the right hand of the father
okay the one who sits in the secret
place of the most high the one who is so
confident of his relationship with God
of his sunship of the adoption who's
seated that's how this starts for that
person for us as we stay in that place
of being children of God of grace not
needing to prove anything remember not
getting our ego involved then you read
the rest of Psalm 91 there's all kinds
of wonderful promises what he's going to
how he's going to save you and protect
you jumping off the top of the temple to
prove that God is going to save you come
on that's not that's not what this psalm
is about that's not the context of the
psalm who wrote this he wasn't writing
promises that you could just sort of
pull here and there and proof text and
put them on and go "Oh now here it says
I can just jump off and the angels are
going to catch
me." That's not how you read the
scripture
okay
um 2 Timothy 2:14 and 15 Paul says to
Timothy "Mind them of these things and
solemnly charge them in the presence of
God not to wrangle about words which is
useless and leads to the ruin of the
hearers be diligent to present yourself
approved to God as a workman who does
not need to be ashamed accurately
handling the word of
truth brothers and sisters we have to
study and it's not just proof text you
know what proof texting is you get an
idea and you take one verse and you say
sometimes that works sometimes you may
be taking the verse out of context and
making it say something that it's not
really saying he said people who wrangle
about words you know people get all
mixed up sometimes about the uh well the
Greek says this and the way and we need
to study that stuff and sometimes you
can miss what do they say miss the
forest for the trees you get focused on
details and words and you miss the whole
context of what the scripture is trying
to tell us that's what the devil was
trying to do to Yeshua he says "Okay we
want to talk about the word of God here
but I don't think Satan can properly
accurately quote the word of God he can
only lie." Okay but he can use the
scriptures and so we have to know and
understand that's why we study theology
what's the relationship between the old
and new and law and grace and the
gospels and the letters and all these
things okay we need to study we need to
know how to accurately handle and divide
the word of God so that we don't so that
the voices or whatever will not will not
deceive us the last thing the lesson
that I learned from this one I call it
the gospel over the
angels you know in the second temple
period there was a lot of stuff about
angels and there's all kinds of other
extra biblical Jewish literature about
all kinds of angelic stuff there was a
lot of angelic activity and peop and
Jewish people there were people who were
connecting with different angels and all
kinds of stuff and prayers to angels we
have one that's left over it's been left
with us for kabala Shabbat for Friday
night in Jewish tradition
shalom we sing this song which is the at
the beginning of Shabbat dinner or the
service in the synagogue where you're
welcoming it says we welcome the angels
to come maha say who make peace right
with the angels of the most high we say
come stay and then we say go okay we
sing that I in our house sometimes but I
also have to be a little careful with it
okay because we don't talk to angels we
don't need to they're there we don't
need to command them there's nothing in
the New Testament that tells you to
command angels right why because we we
have direct access to the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords who sits at the
right hand of the throne he's the one he
he does he send the angels to do stuff
that we don't have to know about or see
some people have a gift for singing okay
um at the end of the third temptation in
verse 11 Matthew chapter 4 it says the
devil left him and behold the angels
came and began to minister to him yeshua
didn't invite them he didn't look for
them god sent them to minister to him
the son of man this is the other thing
people back in the second temple they
kind of worship the angels like we're
below the angels like they're higher
than us no psalm 8 he made us
temporarily it looks like we're made a
little lower than the angels but
actually because a son of because a man
is the son of God and we're human beings
we are higher than the angels it says in
the Corinthians that in the age to come
we are going to judge angels right so we
don't need to get mixed up trying to get
angels to you know that like they're
high like John when he saw in in
Revelation 19 he worships the angel the
angel says "No no no don't do that we're
just servants like you
guys." Um says Revelation 19 uh in
Hebrews 1:14 this is a verse I always
read or declare at the end of Shalom
after we sing that on on Friday night in
of Shabbat are they not all ministering
spirits it's talking about the angels
sent out to render service for the sake
of those who will inherit salvation
that's us god made the angels to serve
us not the other way around all right
um let's end with this i'm going to read
from 1 Corinthians 2
uh
6-10 and just keeping in mind what
Yeshua knew again we don't know how much
he knew at this stage but his knowledge
grew that he had to obey God and he was
going to obey God in Jerusalem he was
going to do things at the temple and he
was going to be
crucified the king of Israel crucified
the ultimate obedience the ultimate test
if you will of God okay a human being is
dead three days he can't there's no
formulas there's no prayers there's
nothing he can do you're dead and he's
saying "I I trust God i trust God i will
follow him unto death even the death of
the cross." And God raised him from the
dead among the mature however we speak a
message of wisdom but not the wisdom of
this age or of the rulers of this age
who are coming to nothing no we speak of
the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God
which he destined for our our glory
before time began none of the rulers of
this age understood
it if they had they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory rather as it
is written no eye has seen nor ear has
heard nor heart has imagined what God
has prepared for those who love him but
God has revealed it revealed it to us by
his spirit in other words Satan there in
the wilderness he's trying to tempt
Jesus he's trying to get Jesus to sin
he's trying to bring Jesus
down he
thought that when he crucified that was
it he didn't this was a
secret god had kept this secret satan
didn't know about it it's in the
scriptures but it's hidden right
and then when Yeshua rose from the dead
after he had descended into hell Satan
said
"Uhoh he won he won we didn't see it
coming."
Hallelujah so let's pray
lord it says in first Peter that the
prophets of old
searched by the Holy Spirit the time and
to know about your suffering and what
what the Messiah would do and it says
that they did these things by the Holy
Spirit things which the
angels want or long to see
into the mystery of the gospel this
hidden wisdom and Lord we thank you that
we have it that Yeshua knew it and he is
the author and finisher of our faith and
he was
obedient even unto death a terrible
death when they mocked him and and and
screamed at him just like Satan if
you're the son of God if you're the king
of show us something prove it come down
from the cross he said "No I know what
I'm doing i'm going to obey God until
the end." Lord help us to be such people
who do not love our lives even unto
death who have the blood of the lamb and
the word of our testimony which is how
we also overcome him and we thank you
that we can trust Lord help us to be
discerning people Lord in these times to
be first and foremost so confident
because of the word of God because of
the deep dwelling indwelling presence of
the Holy Spirit that we're so confident
in who we are as children of God that we
don't need to prove
anything and our ego is not and ego is
not involved in discerning your will
help us to study your word and to go
deeper and deeper thank you for Yeshua
the pioneer the author and finisher who
has just gone before us and was tested
at such a level Lord that none of us
could have survived but he did and by
his grace and by his spirit in us we can
overcome his will bishm Yeshua
amen amen amen questions comments
criticisms anything go ahead
good teaching Ariel thank you just a
question on something that you touched
on um can you comment on a popular
charismatic teaching car in the
charismatic community of which we are a
part um that we are to command angels to
do things i mean there are many people
that I have prayed with that have prayed
along those lines do you see any
scriptural authorization
said in in message I don't and I would
say this yeah I would say that we are
and from the example of Yeshua here um
we
generally as a doctrine do not do that
and don't need to do that because again
we're our prayers are directed to the
king of kings and he will speak and he
will change and he will send the angels
and they will do things um however I do
There is room for exceptions and people
can be led by the Holy Spirit to do
things usually one
time but what the problem with us is
that we tend to make we make a system
out of it yeah we make a dash like oh he
led me to do that once so that means now
I can do it all the time that's my
automatic thing and it's not and then
and then you're against the doctrine of
scripture all right another one is pray
is praying to the Holy Spirit for
charismatics this is very important um
the the general tendency of prayer in
the New Testament is to the father and
through Yeshua okay the worship in the
book of revelation is to the father and
to Yeshua you don't see people
worshiping the holy spirit or talking to
the holy or or praying holy spirit do
come holy spirit holy spirit that's a
doctrine okay so in our pray if someone
once here and there feels led to say
holy spirit holy spirit come okay but
we've watched I remember I was early
early on in my uh walk with the Lord
um I don't want to mention any names but
you'll know who it is uh someone wrote a
book a great charismatic healing
evangelist wrote a book called Good
Morning Holy Spirit i remember reading
the book and
going no that's not what the that's not
what the New Testament it teaches the
apostles didn't pray that way he didn't
relate to actually Derek Prince at the
end of his life said this was his
greatest concern about the in the move
in the charismatic movement of which he
was one of the the fathers and pioneers
was that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
was getting weird and that they were
saying okay you can just relate to
because it's three persons it's like you
you know it's almost like you sort of go
okay in the morning holy spirit for
lunch the father and dinner I'll pray to
Jesus you know so like you pick them no
it's that's not that's not how they
prayed or worshiped So it's it's a
similar thing that they don't Yeah we're
not I don't see making commanding angels
as a as a regular thing that we do but
again if God leads you and you think and
it and there's some proof that it
happened great just don't make a a thing
out of it don't make a repetitive you
know on YouTube here I am i'll help you
command angels just like I do which is
what people
do yeah anybody else uh John you got
there you're just I've got two questions
but I'll ask my important one first um I
It's interesting i'm I'm kind of
flipping through while you're speaking
it's interesting to me that right when
Yeshua received the word from heaven
from the father you are my son that that
word was tested by the enemy three and
there's three if you are the son of God
exactly but then after that throughout
his ministry he gets those same
temptations so John 6 he says to the
people you you don't really want signs
you just want me to feed you again
basically you want me to make you more
bread miraculously miraculously and then
the Pharisees and Sadducees they've come
to test him show us a sign do these
things and it's the last temptation
about Yeshua bowing and worshiping Satan
the flip of that is the people want him
to succumb to their demands that you'll
overthrow Rome and be our king so we can
worship you and so it's just interesting
to me i I wonder if there's any
precedent to when we receive a genuine
word from the Lord about our identity
about who we are if it's first going to
be tested by Satan himself or the
demonic realm and once we've passed that
test we'll have more tests with men and
people i just I don't know it was
interesting to me that it happened in in
that flow of Yeshua's life any thoughts
to that um well I'd say yeah that yeah
the the p the pattern or the template of
Satan's temptations are are repeated the
same kind of things that's what I showed
at the end you know he's on the cross
and there they are screaming if you're
the son of God so yeah the same kind of
things happen for him and happen to us
um the second part about you know word
of God about our identity or who who we
are is that what I I think I mean
there's two there's the dimension of the
gospel truth to all of us which is your
the adoption as sons and daughters of
God that's what that's at the highest
level and that that we're constantly
tested on on how do we really believe
that are we willing to live that
confidently and what does that mean
right terms of the other things about
maybe our identity and calling in the in
the sort of lower maybe um but uh those
things you know I think you got to those
are prophetic things that we have to
discern and my experience is mostly
that if you you just have to walk out
your your life and faith and if it's
true it will it you'll see it happen you
know anyway this here John you want to
give or he's got
there go ahead our brother from Kansas
City
um two
questions one is uh I was just talking
to a friend and he was talking about the
tabernacle in Moses tabernacle
And he was saying he was concerned that
people went uh just to the holy place
rather than holy of holies that is they
stop at Yeshua or holy spirit in manura
and the showbread but sometimes they
just stop there and they don't enter
into the father's presence they didn't
or or
now cuz in back then they couldn't only
the high priest once a year could yum
kipur could go into the holy is that
what you're talking about or more
prophetically spiritually for us now
I guess um yeah one thing is uh what I'm
hearing from him is that people stop at
Yeshua and Holy Spirit but not wait for
the father's glorious presence so so
yeah so that I found that was very
fascinating that maybe you know we have
been given access to the holy of holies
but maybe we stop premature you know um
and so I guess one of the questions I
have is
like how are we supposed to glorify the
father and the son we're supposed to
glorify both and it's like Yeshua came
to glorify the father but then the
father glorifies the son you know you
know at the mount of transfiguration and
baptism and so um I don't know any
comments on that sure well that come I
was I didn't wasn't part of the message
today but it relates to how I was
answering Sandy's question that yeah it
is in general the direction of biblical
prayer is to the father in the name of
which means through Jesus and again it's
not that the name is not the important
thing it's not how you pronounce the
name or like it's a magic thing you can
just God give me a million dollars in
Jesus's name you know like it's going to
happen because of the name it means who
he gospel it's the whole identity of who
he is and what he's done what he's doing
what he's going to do and and who I am
in that and that's how we pray there is
room and examples of glorifying and
worshiping Jesus but as I was saying the
Holy Spirit says Jesus said of the Holy
Spirit he glorifies me he reveals me
he's the Derek Prince said he is the
Holy Spirit is God the
servant who does not draw attention to
himself right um but he just reveals you
know the Holy Spirit has been there when
we're in worship and there's that sense
of the presence of God and the
revelation of Jesus that the holy that's
the holy the Holy Spirit did that but he
doesn't go
he reads yeah anyway that was Dary
Prince one one more question maybe from
a I'm sorry I just have one other
question really quick two at the
beginning but this would be three but
it's all right we love you come a long
way yeah um there was a charismatic um
preacher he said that he saw in the
spirit realm he said when he spoke about
himself the angels would leave but when
the he spoke about Yeshua the angels
would come you know um and I feel like
you know one thing is that uh Lucifer
for he worshiped initially God but then
that turned toward self gaze or self-
worship and I feel like that's so
dangerous that you know that we could
all be vulnerable for that yeah and that
the spirit of antichrist is not to get
against Christ but replacing Christ with
something else or someone else and so
like I feel like that's yeah very
important to discern yeah of Satan was
his pride and his his pride also his
sense of competition with Yeshua i think
that's I mean you read in Ezekiel and
Isaiah you know this prophecies of the
king of Ty and that
that this Lucifer Satan was a maybe the
highest of all the angels and leading
the heavenly worship
but when he saw that there was Jesus the
son of man
receiving praise and worship he he got
jealous because he's as an angel you
can't worship the angels they can't be
worshiped and other than the father the
father said there's only one there's one
being in the universe who can share my
glory and I've committed everything to
him and you can worship him and that's
my son Yeshua that's it anything else
anybody else forbidden one more from
over there go ahead yeah i have a quick
little question you were saying how
That's what everybody says
it might be quick all right you were
saying how no prophet did a miracle for
themselves and so I was wondering about
the example of Elijah and Elisha where
right before Elijah's taken up to heaven
he hits the Jordan River and it splits
correct i think I got that right and um
and then they go through and so I'm
thinking like oh that's very convenient
they didn't have to swim they didn't
have to find a bridge but it doesn't
seem like necessary or for the people it
was kind of for themselves even though
or for it was for
Alisha that's what you're saying they
were together right eli Ela of Elisha
were together
yes right so I would say that Eli Yahu
did things
to increase to demonstrate to Elisha to
pass it on to him but yeah that's that's
the closest example maybe of being but
there he's not alone he's not in other
words there's not Eli if Elijah is just
alone he comes to the Jordan River and
says I don't want to
swim you know or I'm hungry you know we
this we don't we don't see the examples
of that so there's at least there's one
other person that he's doing something
to to serve to build up to pass on to
his his uh
successor by himself to the other
prophets yeah there you go there you
go there you go okay that's it it's high
noon
almost malik Vakasha
Malik I'm just thinking about the idea
of Yeshua being on the mountain and the
people that doesn't want us to believe
that everything was true saying like he
was alone so who quoted him i keep on
which mountain you mean with the devil
oh on on the on the Well that's the
third one he's on the mountain sees the
whole kingdoms that's next or two weeks
from now but that this thing and that's
the thing that he's alone like right so
who wrote the story for Well he must
have he must have told
Matthew and Luke yeah this were the two
temptation stories or you know if you
watch the chosen Mary you know he told
his mother and she told everybody there
especially in Luke in Luke yeah in Luke
there's all they developed that from the
book of Luke that it seems like they had
to interview Mary but which makes sense
it could have
been you know God bless the
mothers hallelujah well thank you folks
bless you have a great you're all here
for the holiday yeah pray pray it's a
special time these times of year i mean
it's so hard for us to believe that our
people can go through the the seder and
not see it you know and not see the lamb
of God and but it's just it's the veil
like we were praying this All right
