teaching away uh 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.920 in different places people back from New 00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:15.440 Jersey from New from New England from 00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:18.480 traveling wonderful uh we're continuing 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.480 today uh in what will be a three-part 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.279 series today is the second one on uh 00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:29.359 discernment really is the title uh from 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.439 Yeshua's temptations in the wilderness 00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:35.120 in Matthew chapter 4 okay and uh the 00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.239 title of the series is discernment 00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:40.000 equals three things if you remember 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.640 first one is identity knowing who you 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.520 are in God and the second one is of 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.840 course the word the voice of God 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.559 understanding and discerning when is God 00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:55.920 speaking and how and of course obeying 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.079 obeying that that word and then the 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.600 third thing is the supernatural 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.719 discerning what's happening in the 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.320 spirit in the spiritual realm in the 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.479 supernatural realm so we talked last 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:08.240 time about I'm just going to do a really 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.760 quick review like in a minute if you 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.400 remember out of the first 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.880 temptation Yeshua is finished 40 days of 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.960 fasting after he was baptized after he 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:18.560 heard the voice of the father say "This 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.799 is my son." 40 days are finished it's 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.200 time to eat he's hungry and he hears a 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.720 voice and you remember I said uh 00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.439 that went on is that all right 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.560 Sh i'll just hold 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.240 on that's a good reminder to turn off 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.040 phones right uh and he we said that um 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.280 Yeshua was tempted and tested it's the 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.000 same word just like we are remember that 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.840 picture I showed you it's not like the 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.399 devil came to him in a red suit with 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:52.640 smoke coming out of his nose and talking 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.360 like the devil okay because that doesn't 00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:57.600 require a great deal of discernment most 00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:59.119 5-year-olds who have watched enough 00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:01.840 cartoons can discern that that's the bad 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.360 guy okay he came he he I believe he came 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:07.200 the devil came to him just as he comes 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.679 to us which is through the spirit 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:12.720 through our soul into our mind okay so 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:15.280 that he heard a voice not like a radio 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.280 voice in his head but in his mind that 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.640 said if you're really the son of God 00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.879 speak to this stone and turn it into 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.720 bread right and we remember the test 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:26.319 he's got to go through everything that 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.959 Israel and Moses went through 40 days in 00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:30.640 the wilderness for him is equal to the 00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:34.000 40 years of Israel in the wilderness um 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.920 he's going to go through tests just like 00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:37.680 Moses did just like the people of Israel 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.239 did if you are the son of God this voice 00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:42.800 is like you have to prove it remember we 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.319 talked about ego if you there's 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.239 something of the ego in there i've got 00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:47.920 to prove who I am as the son of God wait 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:49.760 a minute i just heard 40 days before the 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.760 father said it i don't have to do 00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:54.640 anything do I uh holy scripture we 00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:57.200 talked about how Yeshua learned for 30 00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:59.200 years and we don't he's just 30 years of 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:01.680 his life is we get one or two verses a 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.120 summary that's it he lived a normal life 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.400 no Harry Potter no magic no supernatural 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.800 moving things nothing just a good Jewish 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.280 boy sinless who learned the Torah and 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.800 the word of God and memorized the whole 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.239 thing so that when this time came the 00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:19.920 Holy Spirit I see the Holy Spirit is 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:21.200 kind of like a browser you know it's 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:22.879 like your internet browser right there's 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.560 all this material out there and browser 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.840 just goes and finds it and puts it 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.920 together and connects things that's what 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:29.840 the Holy Spirit does but if you don't 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.360 have the scriptures if you haven't done 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.239 the work of filling up your datab bank 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:35.840 with the scriptures the Holy Spirit 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.159 doesn't have much to work with okay and 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.080 I told you my story how when I was first 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.680 my first year as a believer when I 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.519 didn't have much scripture because I 00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:45.040 hadn't grown up with it and I didn't you 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:47.680 know I didn't uh learn it i had to have 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.000 a lot of supernatural communication from 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.040 God directly but then he said go and 00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:55.440 learn the scriptures and things changed 00:03:55.440 --> 00:03:57.599 okay so that's something else we learned 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.319 from that first uh first temptation uh 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.280 we learned about how waiting on God that 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.640 the speech of God is not most of the 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:11.360 time we don't hear God speaking we see 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.879 the result of his 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.280 speech when God God said let there be 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:20.799 light nobody was there to hear that and 00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:22.639 he he had to tell Moses thousands of 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.560 years later on Mount Si that's how it 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.280 happened right but the proof that God 00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:32.000 spoke is there was light right the proof 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.759 of God providing or speaking mana to the 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.919 people of Israel in this Passover season 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:40.000 when they're on their way out of Egypt 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.280 uh is nobody heard God say or nobody got 00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:44.880 a word or Moses didn't have to command 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:47.440 the mana to come down from heaven god 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:49.479 apparently spoke and there it was a new 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:52.320 thing uh so we have to wait on God 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:54.759 learning to wait on God to change our s 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.880 praying waiting for God to change 00:04:56.880 --> 00:04:58.639 circumstances and then he's that's how 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.080 he speaks most of the time um then we 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.280 learned about how also the the 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:06.479 supernatural Yeshua knew from his 00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:08.160 reading of scripture and also from the 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.919 character of God that there's no 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:11.840 examples of people in the scriptures 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:13.600 doing supernatural things just for 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.440 themselves just for fun just to prove it 00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:17.199 just cuz they're hungry that all of 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.840 Yeshua's signs to feed people were all 00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:23.360 in ser in ministry signs that he gave to 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.280 help others okay um so we learn we just 00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:28.639 we're going through process of 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.680 discernment just like he does and it's 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.240 all about God testing what's in our 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.080 heart and that's where Yeshua finishes 00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:38.720 with Deuteronomy 8:3 remember he humbled 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.039 you and let you be hungry and fed you 00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:43.680 with mana which you did not know nor did 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.759 your fathers know this is a new stage in 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.440 in history at the Exodus okay and at new 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.600 stages in history God does supernatural 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.280 things but he does them right um that he 00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:59.759 might make you understand that man does 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.960 not live by bread alone but man lives by 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:05.360 everything that proceeds out of the 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.919 mouth of the Lord and Yeshua's 00:06:06.919 --> 00:06:08.520 conclusion 00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:13.199 was if God wants to provide supernatural 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.400 food for me he would do that and speak 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:18.240 it 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.720 i don't see it it hasn't happened god 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.639 has not spoken i'm going to walk a few 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.280 kilometers into the nearest village i'm 00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:29.600 hungry i finish my fast i'll ask for 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.479 some bread i'll 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.759 say I'll pray and thank God for the 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.400 miraculous bread that we eat every day 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:41.759 and I'll be a normal human being okay 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.680 that's last time now with that 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.319 background okay we come to the second 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.360 temptation and this is where it gets 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.440 really I mean this was I mean he's 00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:55.919 tested at a level that none of us are 00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:59.120 ever going to be tested okay at that 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.759 level there's similarities but this is 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.000 really 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.599 really 00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:08.240 nasty and clever what the devil does by 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.599 the way remember we talked about this 00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:12.240 last time we know from the beginning the 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.520 first verse of chapter 4 Matthew tells 00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:19.520 us that it's the devil okay we know but 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.039 the whole point of the testing is that 00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:23.039 Yeshua doesn't know at the beginning 00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:26.639 he's in a process of discernment as the 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.400 son of God as our high priest he has to 00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.000 go through everything that we that we go 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.400 through uh so here we are the next 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:34.400 temptation the second one that's what 00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:36.240 the focus of today's message is is going 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.960 to be verses 5-7 00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:40.720 then the devil took him there again we 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.599 know the devil took 00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:46.160 him into the holy city and had him stand 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.360 on the pinnacle of the temple yeshua 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.479 said to him "Oh I'm sorry i I chopped 00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:56.080 off that in my copy paste." And he hears 00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:59.599 the v the in his mind the verses quoted 00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:02.199 from Psalm 91 11 and 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.039 12 cast yourself down the angels will 00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:06.319 gather you in their hand they'll save 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.120 you okay jesus said to him "On the other 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.039 hand it is written you shall not put the 00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:13.319 Lord God your God to the 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.319 test." 00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:20.639 Wow we don't know exactly what happened 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.879 but remember Yeshua is somewhere down 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.280 there towards Jericho he's pretty far 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:27.680 from Jerusalem he's in the Judean 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.840 wilderness okay suddenly he's at the top 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.919 of the temple right over there 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.640 we're not told was that a total physical 00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:41.279 experience was it in the spirit in other 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.039 words it could have been that his body 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.880 was still down there near Jericho but he 00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.240 was but it whatever it is it's 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.160 real it's a real test by the way I 00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:52.800 checked according to most researchers 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:54.560 the second temple the height the 00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:58.240 pinnacle was about 50 m which is about 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.800 17 stories 16 17 stories so when you 00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:02.720 look out the window here that's about 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.839 the height yeah of the very top of the 00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:08.080 temple and you can see down you can see 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.680 people it's not like people are little 00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:11.680 ants you can see the people and if they 00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:14.720 looked up they could see him okay but 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.839 it's a height that if you jump and you 00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:20.480 know nothing miraculous happens splat 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.720 that's it you can call you're you're 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.600 going straight to wherever 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.480 um so that's where he is well this must 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.000 mean that God has spoken cuz it happened 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.839 right didn't I say that from the 00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:36.920 previous 00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:40.800 temptation if if if it happens and it's 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:44.519 super then then God has spoken 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:49.200 right maybe maybe not okay he's really 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.760 there he can feel the wind he can hear 00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:55.640 the voices down there 00:09:55.800 --> 00:09:59.200 and he that same place that same thought 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.560 comes to him and says 00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:06.279 jump test God okay because it's 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.440 written the devil knows the 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.079 scriptures oh that's tricky he's been 00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:17.360 around a long time he reads them i don't 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.720 know in what language Hebrew Greek 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.560 Chinese whatever but he can quote them 00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:27.760 apparently and use them and mi and 00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:29.839 misuse them all right that's what we'll 00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:33.440 see so this is a big test right okay you 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.519 you say you're not you live only by the 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.320 word of God okay only by what God really 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.320 does here I'll give you a 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.079 supernatural there we are in Jerusalem 00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:47.079 the Yeshua knew if he's the 00:10:47.079 --> 00:10:49.760 Messiah his ultimate destiny is 00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:51.920 Jerusalem the temple and supernatural 00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:53.760 things are going to happen there all 00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:57.360 right this is really a big test okay as 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.279 we last time we went through said okay 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.040 as Yeshua would knows the scripture the 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.959 Holy Spirit helping him he saw what 00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:05.279 Moses did at MBA with the rock and he 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.200 instead of speaking to it he whacked at 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.800 him in the book of Numbers and he got 00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:11.279 angry we talked about Elijah and the 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.760 ravens you remember uh supplying him 00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:16.160 with supernatural food bread and and 00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:18.240 meat morning and evening things that 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.600 happened supernaturally by way of 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.600 provision that neither Moses or Elijah 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.120 had to command to happen god did it 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.600 right we think okay if the Holy Spirit 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.680 is helping Yeshua go through the spir 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:35.200 sort of the the Tanakh the Old Testament 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200 to tell okay what about this what about 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.279 is there any precedent for 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.160 people testing God in this way and the 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:46.640 answer I couldn't find anything i mean 00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:48.240 people I don't know Moses tried to jump 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.839 off Mount Si or something i don't think 00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:53.880 I you know people doing really dangerous 00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:56.399 things intentionally and then expecting 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.040 God to just send the angels and save 00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:02.079 them no I don't i mean it's it's hard to 00:12:02.079 --> 00:12:04.640 kind of find a reference for that that's 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:07.000 part that's one thing is you this is 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000 not this is not biblical this is not 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.839 what Moses did this is not what Elijah 00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:14.320 did this is not what David did okay and 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.959 he then he answers with this verse from 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:20.880 Deuteronomy 6 and I want us to go there 00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:22.240 if you have the Bible remember we've 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.880 talked so much also when I was teaching 00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:27.200 Romans 9:101 about when the when there's 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.680 these quotes in the New Testament it's 00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.680 just one verse you got to go back to the 00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:35.600 original context and start reading and 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.000 you'll find oh this is referencing not 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.160 just that one verse but a bunch of other 00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:42.240 things so if you go to Deuteronomy 6 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.639 okay which of course is also the Shama 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.120 and this is after the Shama um 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.519 Deuteronomy 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.839 6:10 I'll 00:12:50.839 --> 00:12:53.279 start then it shall come about when the 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:54.800 Lord your God brings you into the land 00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:56.560 which he swore to your fathers Abraham 00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:58.959 Isaac and Jacob to give you great and 00:12:58.959 --> 00:13:01.519 splendid cities which you did not build 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.920 and houses full of all good things which 00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:06.959 you did not fill and hume sistns which 00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:09.279 you did not dig vineard vineyards and 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.079 olive trees which you did not plant and 00:13:12.079 --> 00:13:14.040 you eat and are 00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:16.320 satisfied then watch yourself that you 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.480 do not forget the Lord who brought you 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.079 from the land of Egypt out of the house 00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:23.120 of slavery you shall fear only the Lord 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.760 your God Yhovah your God and you shall 00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:28.079 worship him and swear by his name you 00:13:28.079 --> 00:13:30.000 shall not follow other gods any of the 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.480 gods of the peoples who surround you for 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.560 the Lord your God in the midst you in 00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:36.800 the midst of you is a jealous God 00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:38.480 otherwise the anger of the Lord your God 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.320 will be kindled kindled against you and 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.760 he will wipe you off the face of the 00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:44.800 earth you shall not put the Lord your 00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:46.959 God to the test that's what Yeshua 00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:52.040 quotes okay as you tested him at 00:13:52.040 --> 00:13:55.200 Masa masa okay you should diligently 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.480 keep the commandments etc etc this is 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.920 referencing the similar event not the 00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:01.720 one in Numbers but the first one in 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.600 Exodus 17 when the people complained 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.600 bitterly to Moses about the lack of 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.399 water they were really really thirsty 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.079 and they said "What did you bring us out 00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:17.440 here to die in the wilderness?" Okay and 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.920 Moses and Aaron cry out to God this time 00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:21.440 all right and he says "Take your staff 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.079 and go." And he the Lord says "I will 00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:27.040 stand on the rock of of Horeb and water 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:29.040 will come from the rock." Okay and it 00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:31.560 does and the people are 00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:34.720 uh their thirst is quenched okay and 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.079 they're happy this is the test and now 00:14:38.079 --> 00:14:39.440 this is really different than being at 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.880 the top of the temple and thinking of 00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:43.279 jumping off okay 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.920 but the people think about it was just 00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:48.959 the lack of faith god brought us out of 00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:51.279 Egypt remember all the signs and wonders 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.440 the parting of the Red Sea you read in 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.600 Deuteronomy 6 he's promising us the 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.120 promised land he's going to take us in 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.800 there we're going to have victory we're 00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:00.399 going to take over the land people have 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.639 prepared it for us miraculous things are 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.680 going to happen we're going to have a 00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:06.560 great life just believe just keep on 00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:08.800 going he's not going to let us die of 00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:13.040 thirst that doesn't make sense right so 00:15:13.040 --> 00:15:15.680 but they tested God because of their 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:17.920 lack of faith and that's what Yeshua 00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:20.399 quotes okay now think we'll think about 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.600 that we'll talk about it a little bit 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:26.160 more as uh we go on but that was the the 00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:28.839 test of the people of Israel which they 00:15:28.839 --> 00:15:32.240 failed and now Yeshua is being tested 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.199 and he's going to pass and he's going to 00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:37.600 pass with flying colors as we say 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.760 because he knows or we don't know how 00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:42.240 much he knew exactly at this point 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.079 because you see a development in the 00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:47.199 gospels of Yeshua starting to announce 00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:49.600 what is going to happen at the end his 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.720 crucifixion and his 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.920 resurrection okay 00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:58.800 yeshua is going to go he's going he's 00:15:58.800 --> 00:16:01.120 not testing God he's obeying God but 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.240 he's going to do something far more 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.600 miraculous than a few angels catching 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.519 you falling off a building and that's 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.320 that's pretty good what is Yeshua going 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.399 to 00:16:13.160 --> 00:16:15.399 do what is he going to 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:20.560 do three years later he's going to die 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:24.360 he's going to allow himself to be killed 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.880 listen to this this is Matthew 00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:31.519 27:39 yeshua on the cross and you'll 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.560 hear some similar language from the 00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:36.320 temptations in the wilderness at that 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.639 time two rebels were being crucified 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.560 with him one on the right hand and one 00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:42.480 on the left 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.320 and those passing by were speaking 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.800 abusively to him shaking their heads and 00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:50.800 saying "You who are going to destroy the 00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:54.440 temple and rebuild it in 3 days save 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:58.040 yourself if you are the son of 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:01.680 God."

00:20:44.320 talk about this um I've noticed over the 00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:46.720 years that a lot of where people get 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.600 mixed up with the prophetic which is a 00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:52.480 supernatural thing uh and especially 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.120 people who are coming from a less 00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:57.120 charismatic background who aren't used 00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:00.559 to it and then they go to some meeting 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.559 where there's a prophet or a prophetic 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.559 person maybe it's their first time and 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.799 the person points them out and says 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.799 Um I s I see you when you were 5 years 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.480 old and you and your family got in that 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.440 car accident right and you 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:18.960 go right that's like supernatural 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.080 knowledge the person doesn't know 00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:21.679 anything about me and they're pointing 00:21:21.679 --> 00:21:24.400 out something that's true right when I 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.159 was 5 years old I'm not me just saying 00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:27.280 for example I was there this car 00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:28.720 accident it was a traumatic thing in our 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.520 family and d 00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:33.400 um and people then 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.280 assume because that's a 00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:39.200 supernatural knowledge that then God 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.280 must be speaking and whatever the person 00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:44.640 is going to say next to you must also be 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.400 from 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.080 God i've seen a lot of people get messed 00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:51.280 up this way in the prophetic because 00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:55.679 guess what um people you know there are 00:21:55.679 --> 00:21:57.640 uh I've spent a lot of time in the Far 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.480 East uh there's a long traditions there 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.400 of palm reading and uh tarot card 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.240 reading and all kinds of other you know 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.799 soothsayers and people we here even at 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.480 our house in downtown Jerusalem right 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.280 across our the alley is a yeshiva 00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:16.320 synagogue and there's a a rabbi Rabbi 00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:18.960 Brener who teaches there um regularly 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.480 and people come from all over Israel and 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.159 he reads their palms he reads their 00:22:22.159 --> 00:22:24.080 palms and prophesies and some people 00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:25.440 believe that he has healing powers and 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:30.240 they go what okay um you know now those 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.000 people and the ones who who are really 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.080 good at it and makes make big money you 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:35.600 find them on the internet horoscopes and 00:22:35.600 --> 00:22:38.600 all kinds of do you think it's all 00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:40.799 fake a lot of Christians think "Oh it's 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:43.559 all fake cuz it's demons it's not God." 00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.520 No that people with a little intuition a 00:22:47.520 --> 00:22:51.640 little prophetic sort of knowledge can 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.080 read sometimes what's happening in the 00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:56.159 soul realm that's how I understand it 00:22:56.159 --> 00:22:58.799 all right especially if this is why in a 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.559 lot of houses of prayer and prophetic 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:02.400 places that one of the things they say 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.400 is when you people come you don't know 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.520 them no prophesying about or no words of 00:23:07.520 --> 00:23:10.000 knowledge about with women especially 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:13.200 about having children or about marriage 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.080 with men as single men and women why 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:19.440 because the people who have a woman who 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.080 is wanting for years can't get pregnant 00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:24.000 can't have a child there's a deep deep 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.200 soul cry the prayer that's been going on 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.799 all for for years in that woman's soul 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.840 like Hana okay and if you're just a 00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:35.840 little you don't need a lot of training 00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:37.440 okay you can be intrigued believer 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.840 unbeliever you can pick you can you can 00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:44.200 sense that okay so uh we have to be 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.000 careful okay about how what what kind of 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:49.679 what we do with when people have that 00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:52.320 kind of knowledge about us so they see 00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:53.840 something it can be a prophetic word 00:23:53.840 --> 00:23:55.840 from God it can how do we know we have 00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:58.240 to discern it you have to listen to it 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:03.840 record it write it down um I Uh I always 00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:06.400 when I teach on this on on the prophetic 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.919 maybe the most important scripture in 00:24:07.919 --> 00:24:09.280 all of of the New Testament is 00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:11.679 Revelation 19:10 00:24:11.679 --> 00:24:14.640 uh where John has there's this huge 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.480 angel who's been showing him incredible 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.039 things and then it says I John fell at 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.679 his feet to worship him and he said to 00:24:21.679 --> 00:24:23.760 me don't do that I'm a fellow servant of 00:24:23.760 --> 00:24:25.120 yours and your brethren who hold the 00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:28.520 testimony of Jesus worship God for the 00:24:28.520 --> 00:24:33.320 testimony of Jesus is The spirit of 00:24:33.320 --> 00:24:36.799 prophecy that means that whatever 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.080 prophetic word or insight someone brings 00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:43.039 to you if it if what they do with it the 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:45.120 application of it I saw this I see your 00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:47.600 accident age five and the trauma it went 00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:49.360 through and they start preaching healing 00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:51.039 in Jesus's name according to the 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.760 testimony of the 00:24:52.760 --> 00:24:55.840 gospel of who Jesus is what he did what 00:24:55.840 --> 00:24:57.760 he's doing what he does for us in our 00:24:57.760 --> 00:24:59.760 lives according to the word of God then 00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:02.559 it's kosher then it's from God okay 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.640 that's how you judge it if what they 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.120 that prophetic knowledge comes or or 00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:10.559 that prophetic insight and then what 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:11.720 they do with it 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.320 is something speaks something that maybe 00:25:14.320 --> 00:25:16.799 is bringing some comfort to you but it's 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:19.919 not according to the testimony of Yeshua 00:25:19.919 --> 00:25:23.279 meaning it's a kind of comfort that says 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.720 you don't have to 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.840 suffer that's not the testimony of 00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:29.760 Yeshua 00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:32.880 yeshua had to go to the cross we have to 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.240 take up our cross we have to deny 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.600 ourselves this is the problem with the 00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:37.279 what we call the prosperity gospel you 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.520 know what I'm talking about where a lot 00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:41.520 of the messages God did he did it all 00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:44.559 now you can just enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.720 all the blessings without any 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:50.159 suffering that's not the testimony of 00:25:50.159 --> 00:25:52.640 Yeshua that's not a proper spirit a 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:53.760 prophetic spirit you know what I'm 00:25:53.760 --> 00:25:55.840 talking about okay so that's just one of 00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:57.679 the one of the examples you think of 00:25:57.679 --> 00:26:02.240 where there can be something that is 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:03.799 supernatural 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.600 and that's okay someone sees something 00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:10.159 but what the application what the the 00:26:10.159 --> 00:26:12.559 message is is something you have to 00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:15.919 discern and be careful of okay that's 00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:18.000 the first lesson the second one is 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.080 Jerusalem 00:26:19.080 --> 00:26:22.880 syndrome remember Yeshua knows he he's 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.000 grow he's read the scriptures 40 days 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.840 before he's declared the son of God he 00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:31.600 hears that he knows as the Messiah he's 00:26:31.600 --> 00:26:33.760 going to be doing things for a few years 00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:36.320 he maybe doesn't know exactly how long 00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:39.640 but it's all going to end up here in 00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:43.600 Jerusalem and at or near the temple okay 00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:46.559 it has to because Jerusalem is Jerusalem 00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.279 it's Zion the promises of God there's so 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.120 much in scripture and we love preaching 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:52.480 about it and sharing about it here we 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.960 are in Jerusalem high up over Jerusalem 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.799 and we will share that with the world 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.360 but you know there's there's a flip side 00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:01.200 it can also be a little bit dangerous it 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.039 can be like a drug actually in Zechariah 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:04.840 it says in the end of days he will make 00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:07.600 Jerusalem a cup of trembling like a drug 00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:10.320 to the nations okay a rock of rock of 00:27:10.320 --> 00:27:12.679 stumbling as well 00:27:12.679 --> 00:27:16.400 um that uh you know here in Jerusalem 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.360 we've got to be careful uh cuz it can it 00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:20.960 can do some weird things have you ever 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.159 heard there's actually a 00:27:23.159 --> 00:27:25.520 semi-csychotic experience that they call 00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:27.039 Jerusalem syndrome it's on the 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.960 psychological books i did a little 00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:30.080 research on it it was kind of 00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:32.320 interesting there's the people who come 00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:34.480 who already have been diagnosed with 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.640 some kind of 00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.240 psychotic thing and then they just it 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.840 kind of gets worse that's we're not 00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:40.880 talking about that we're talking about 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.440 regular normal people they said about 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.080 it's like 50/50 between Jews and non- 00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:49.120 messianic Jews and Christians um who 00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:51.320 come here usually as part of a group 00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:54.799 okay and they actually who we have tour 00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.240 guide here too you've been to tour guide 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:58.080 school did they teach you about it it 00:27:58.080 --> 00:27:59.760 was saying that they made Yeah they make 00:27:59.760 --> 00:28:01.279 sure the tour guides know what to look 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.279 for okay because the same it's like 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.760 clockwork it's the same thing happens 00:28:05.760 --> 00:28:09.039 yeah it's a guest that's okay um is a 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:10.559 person they're in a group and the person 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.240 starts to get a little anxious a little 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.440 start to act a little differently and 00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:14.880 then they want to go separate they want 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.799 to go I've got to go pray i've got to go 00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.440 do my thing right that's the first sign 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.520 okay I I need to the group's going I I 00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:23.520 have to do something else right and then 00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:26.960 it h then they the people become uh kind 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.679 of obsessed with purity and cleanliness 00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:30.960 they start cutting their nails and 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.039 washing and showering all the time and 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.480 then they take the bed sheets from their 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.799 hotel and they make some kind of white 00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:42.159 robe and again nobody's it's not like 00:28:42.159 --> 00:28:43.679 they're watching it on YouTube and you 00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:45.919 know someone you know oh this is how you 00:28:45.919 --> 00:28:48.799 do it it's been happening for years few 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.720 people I don't know how many every year 00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:52.559 right and they get and then they begin 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.799 to have delusions that they're a 00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:58.279 biblical character right john the 00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.720 Baptist Virgin Mary is a big one you 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.279 know my son 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.960 Jesus and it usually happens to single 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.679 it was interesting said 90 something% 00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:10.159 it's single men or women i used to think 00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:11.520 it was mostly women but actually the 00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:14.279 stat says no it's evenly divided 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.120 um by the way you know it's interesting 00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:19.279 it happens mostly to single single 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.760 people you know in kidic Judaism they 00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:25.919 have a kind of rule that is you're not 00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:27.760 allowed to study Cabala which is 00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:29.679 mystical Judaism until you're married 00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:31.679 and have one kid at least one kid then 00:29:31.679 --> 00:29:34.880 of course they have 10 more right but 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.200 you know the the thinking is if you're 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:38.880 you know you've got to be rooted 00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.720 something about marriage family children 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.080 keeps you rooted in this world before 00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:45.799 you go and start studying the mystical 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.799 charismatic stuff right uh so anyway 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:50.240 that's what happened Jerusalem syndrome 00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:51.679 and then the people begin to have these 00:29:51.679 --> 00:29:53.840 weird experiences and usually it's 00:29:53.840 --> 00:29:56.159 pretty they you know they take them away 00:29:56.159 --> 00:29:58.279 they don't 00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.960 there's a psychiatric hospital here for 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.200 a day just give them a little tranquil 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:04.480 little drug and they send them home and 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:06.240 they're fine and they come out of it 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.760 they're not it's not like a but it 00:30:08.760 --> 00:30:11.200 happens now I'm not suggesting that's 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.399 happening to any of them but we have to 00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:13.760 be careful in the end you know as things 00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:15.600 go on and here in our group people we 00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:17.360 have all kinds of people who come here 00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:19.279 you You know and I just say the people 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.320 out there if you're thinking of coming 00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:22.799 to Jerusalem if you're alone and as this 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:24.320 is especially if you're alone and some 00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:26.640 God is telling me to go and intercede it 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.039 may be but make sure you've got a group 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.799 your pastors leader people are blessing 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.799 you people are praying for you don't 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.039 come alone you know come with a group 00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:37.840 cuz this is the universal center of 00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:40.080 spiritual warfare here and weird things 00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:41.520 can happen and we don't want them to 00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:43.760 happen to happen to anybody but there's 00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:46.320 a good Jerusalem syndrome and that is 00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:48.399 we're here we believe in God's promises 00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:50.320 to Zion in Jerusalem and we're doing 00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:52.799 everything we can to hasten his coming 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.720 right over there to the Mount of Olives 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.720 hallelujah and he's going to be in 00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.640 dressed in white whiter than the bed 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.000 sheets of any hotel hallelujah all right 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.240 shining like the sun 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.679 amen um that's the the second one the 00:31:07.679 --> 00:31:09.640 third lesson here from this this 00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:14.000 temptation is rightly understanding the 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.960 word of God in context 00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.039 now if anybody's been to seminary in 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.840 these modern times you learn that 00:31:21.840 --> 00:31:24.720 historical grammatical contextual 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:26.559 interpretation of scripture in other 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.000 words you have to understand scripture 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.799 in its original context as best we can 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.960 the languages the culture the 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.080 archaeology all that kind of stuff 00:31:35.080 --> 00:31:38.399 okay it's not something new it's what 00:31:38.399 --> 00:31:42.559 Yeshua did right here with Psalm 91 or 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:44.640 what the Holy Spirit helped him to do 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.679 with Psalm 91 okay so let's look at the 00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:50.799 kind remember Psalm 91 11 and 12 that 00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:54.640 the devil quotes to him in his mind that 00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.559 you know just the angels are going to 00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.840 catch you okay and he quotes accurately 00:31:59.840 --> 00:32:01.240 the 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.279 scripture here are the first two verses 00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:06.720 of Psalm 91 when by the way in Hebrew in 00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:09.679 those times they didn't have numbers on 00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:11.600 the on the Bible there were no chapter 00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:14.240 verse numbers they recognized the Psalms 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.880 by usually by their first line okay that 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.399 was like the title and so they would say 00:32:18.399 --> 00:32:20.240 "Hey go to go to they wouldn't say go to 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.240 Psalm 91 they'd
