Tadros Malaty Mighty hunter before the lord = against god (Gen 10:8) next antichrist after cain nimrod nickname common name in egypt (bel) Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) 1. They want a technology not to be subject to judgement 2. They want not to be scattered “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” (Genesis 11:7) Again the US Babel = something you don’t understand Do we know how many languages God gave them? “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. (Deuteronomy 32:1) Moses puts his frustration near end of his life. Heavy heart. Putting into song. “Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you: When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. (Deuteronomy 32:7-8) 12 original languages starts a whole teaching that the children of israel will teach 12 nations the boundaries of people will be 12 so that the children of israel will be missionaries god wants you to be a kindgom of priests that’s why you are 12 that’s why jesus picks 12 moses’s knowledge is not his invention he’s asking them to go back to their fathers persians / babylonians dividing the stars of heaven into zodiac 12 constellations why 12? the persians and babylonians had knowledge that heavens are seeing 12 natinos each of those zodiac sections is controlling the fate of 12 nations 12 means humanity in relationship to god 12 means the church this number will go with us all the way to revelation the number redeemed = 12 x 12 the star of bethlehem, the legacy of the magi this man discovered what was the star of bethlehem the idea was it cannot be a very obvious supernatural phenomenon otherwise everyone would have seenit only the wise mean of the east had some science about it and knew how to read it the persians and babylonians had some science about how the constellations control the countries. at the very origin, they had 12 countries, 12 groups of people that heaven has to look over and care for to introduce us to pentecost why that? what would happen to pentecost = 1. scatter 2. knowedlge of languages remarkable == how can we understand them When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. (Acts 2:1) Why did God disperse humans? So they dont’ cling and clump? What was he doing with the languages here? We believe in one universal (katholiki). You wanted to be united against me? I’m going to separate you so you don’t get that goal. I’m going to united you through me. If you are united through me, you will have eternal life. You want to be united to defy God or united IN GOD? This gathering theme permeates the phrophets. I will gatehr you from all the nations I will pick you like figs So that all might be one is us (Jesus in John) 2 Chron David arrange priest service in temple 24 priests ! abijah father of -- one of the zechariah father of john beginning of john one of the 24 divisions that david had set up corresponds to 24 priests in revelation priests israel 2 groups of priests that serve every month always the king, son rule the nations not a kingdom just to rule israel kingdom to rule over nations seal is 12 x 12 oen from each tribe wall around heavenly jerusalem 144 cubits so that numer permeates the bible from beginning to end the humans that belong to god go look for 12, 144, 24 John 21 153 12 x 12 + 3 x 3 the saved those in the ark of noah 144000 = the saved the REAL people of god not the so-called people of god 1000 = perfect number of time symbolic number of what happens now we are now in the perfect time of christ the time since jesus reigned (from the cross to the second coming) john darby baptist form england established idea of dispensation millenium reign of christ traditional churches (catholic and orthodox) reject that but early church fathers said christ would come and reign for 1000 years majority fo church fathers reject it but doesn’t make sense, but second comign is at end of time so when you look at verses it doesn’t leave time ofr christ to when is that reighn? when we go to church john darby theories would have gone to rest except for scofield who put them inthat bible everbyody who bought that bible put the millenium into his faith it is a symbolic number of the time of the reign each covenant, god is advancing his help, according to humans ability to help noah - god gives animals as help to humans moses - gives them more sanctity - so they can be in his line he reveals more of himself old covenant - law new covenant - grace but ... not cancel moses 3 types of commandments 1. moral - 10 kill parents etc. -- perfecting, completing extended from physical to also spiritual -> calling for integrity -- prophets understood moses literally 2. ritual - sacrifice animals on feasts, circumcision, no work on sabbath, -- completed fulfilled jesus needed, sacrifices are not enough -- circumcision is replaced by baptism -- yom kippor -- good friday -- passover -- pascha resurrection -- jewish pentecost by christian pentecost 3. civil - bull gores, remedies for civil offenses -- you have heard that it has been said -- you have heard eye for eye but I tell you turn your cheek, give your coat -- this is canceled -- applied to judea local loaws that moses had given -- not god’s laws, moses laws, moses gave divorce for hardness of your heart, jesus canceled that totally -- divorce is a civil law jesus - you have heard but I tell you raca hellfire, angry council - you think murder is this; I’m telling you waht it is - adultery > lust not “this is what dad meant” - that jeremiah 7 you go out murder, adulery, false gods, false witness, then you come back to this place with my name on it, only to say you are saved, i have seen it the moral part is literal the ritual part is to fix the deficiencies in the moral but the sacrifices were not enough so here comes jesus to fix that did he cancel the moral law? no moral - perfected in the new ceremonial - canceled by the death of christ the cere was trying to protect the moral i sin go to temple slaughter the animal morsel of meat you’re forgiven taht was tough everybody had to be circumcised to bind themselves with that you had to be washed the moral is eternal jesus hightening the moral code giving helpt to do it but the old way, the ritual part was not enough to get us there but the jews thought they could cancel the moral law with the ritual law don’t have to think about moral code -- just do the sin offering led to the dilmma as long as I do the ritual don’t hae to wrory about what I’m doing morally sometimes the prot preachers teach us that god is not requiring any of it crazy NT shows god still demands all the moral “do not be fooled - no adulterers, fornicators, drunkards, theives, ...” what shuld I repent from if its’ all canceled we need to know the commandments examine ourselves against them ask help Aslan, CS Lewis: “We are never given the question, ‘What if?’”
