commanded us to 00:12.540 --> 00:18.780 keep this sabbath day Holy because it is a sign and I repeat it is a sign between him 00:18.780 --> 00:24.600 and us for a perpetual covenant throughout all of our generations So again, 00:24.600 --> 00:30.440 I want to welcome everyone here to this To this place of convocation to this place of 00:30.440 --> 00:35.820 worship and Service where we come together to learn how to serve this great deity 00:35.820 --> 00:41.860 according to his will Not according to our will but according to his will Today's 00:41.860 --> 00:48.720 class is titled the Nazarene Today's class is titled the Nazarene The objective of 00:48.720 --> 00:53.700 today's class is to understand what name was applied to the people of the new 00:53.700 --> 00:56.620 covenant who followed Yahshua and 01:00.500 --> 01:05.160 What was the theology or doctrine that they studied and practiced? 01:05.860 --> 01:08.360 How do they compare to the sect of the Christians? 01:08.920 --> 01:13.360 Are they the same group or a totally different group of people with a totally 01:13.360 --> 01:15.120 different set of practices? 01:16.080 --> 01:18.140 What happened to the Nazarenes? 01:18.400 --> 01:23.820 And how did the early church fathers of Christianity feel about them? 01:23.820 --> 01:30.180 What was their perspective on this group called the Nazarenes? 01:30.880 --> 01:35.340 What were the feelings of the Nazarenes towards their early Christian church 01:35.340 --> 01:35.840 fathers? 01:36.680 --> 01:41.100 This and much more will be covered in today's discussion titled The Nazarene. 01:41.840 --> 01:45.720 I would like to state to our visitors and listeners that the form that we use for 01:45.720 --> 01:48.220 teaching is based upon comparatives. 01:48.220 --> 01:53.560 We merely take what's in the Bible as a word of the highest Elohim and compare it 01:53.560 --> 01:56.140 with the doctrine and practices of the world. 01:56.840 --> 02:03.060 Yes, mainly Christianity and other applicable religions if necessary. 02:03.560 --> 02:08.080 Our belief is one cannot understand the truth unless the lie is also being 02:08.080 --> 02:08.600 presented. 02:09.220 --> 02:12.160 And one cannot see a lie unless the truth is shown. 02:12.160 --> 02:16.740 So please understand we're not judging anyone or any organization but merely 02:16.740 --> 02:23.340 speaking the word and comparing it to what Christianity and other religions in this 02:23.340 --> 02:23.960 world teaches. 02:24.420 --> 02:28.720 Today's reader will be Brother Yishmael of NCCI Charlotte. 02:28.920 --> 02:34.340 Let's go ahead and begin our discussion at Acts chapter 9 verses 1 through 2. 02:36.660 --> 02:43.100 This is... we have a lot of scripture to go through as well as a lot of secular 02:43.100 --> 02:43.720 information. 02:45.240 --> 02:50.020 So certainly if you have questions, you know, please chime in. 02:50.080 --> 02:52.180 If you'd like to interject, please chime in. 02:52.760 --> 02:59.100 Give us a second to get to you so you can speak into the mic so those that are on 02:59.100 --> 03:05.600 the outside of the sanctuary will be able to hear you and be edified as well. 03:06.160 --> 03:09.460 It's very important that if you have comments, it's very important. 03:09.780 --> 03:14.800 If you have questions or, you know, if you'd like to interject anything, 03:14.800 --> 03:16.360 it's very important that you do so. 03:17.580 --> 03:20.040 You know, this is the form that we have. 03:20.080 --> 03:23.160 So everybody can be edified, including myself. 03:23.560 --> 03:29.320 Okay, let's pick it up at Acts chapter 9 and we're going to read verse 1 through 2. 03:29.320 --> 03:32.160 Acts chapter 9 verse 1 through 2. 03:32.560 --> 03:36.120 Again, the title of this class is the Nazarene. 03:36.740 --> 03:40.800 And so yet breathing out threatenings and slander or slaughter against the disciples 03:40.800 --> 03:46.260 of the master went unto the high priest and desired of him letters to Damascus to 03:46.260 --> 03:49.120 the synagogue that if he found any of this way... 03:49.120 --> 03:50.320 Well, what's this way? 03:51.200 --> 03:52.460 What's this way? 03:54.180 --> 03:55.880 What's this way? 03:56.660 --> 04:02.040 If he found any of this way, he didn't say if he found any Christian. 04:02.200 --> 04:04.480 He didn't say if he found any Nazarene. 04:04.620 --> 04:06.640 He said if he found any of this way. 04:07.220 --> 04:07.680 Go ahead. 04:08.120 --> 04:12.140 Whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 04:12.380 --> 04:14.900 Okay, Acts 19, 8 through 9. 04:15.740 --> 04:18.900 Acts 19, 8 through 9. 04:19.120 --> 04:22.720 Acts chapter 19, 8 through 9. 04:22.720 --> 04:31.460 Today we will have a very clear and a very clean understanding of what the 04:31.460 --> 04:36.000 practitioners of the new covenant were called. 04:36.320 --> 04:37.500 What were they called? 04:37.880 --> 04:41.040 Were they called Christians or were they called something else? 04:42.720 --> 04:44.480 Were they called Muslims? 04:46.780 --> 04:47.400 Go ahead. 04:49.020 --> 04:53.220 And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for the space of three months, 04:53.480 --> 04:57.020 disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of Elohim. 04:57.800 --> 05:04.240 But when divers were hardened and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the 05:04.240 --> 05:09.020 multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, disputing daily 05:09.020 --> 05:11.180 in the school of one Tyrannus. 05:11.180 --> 05:11.840 Okay. 05:12.380 --> 05:19.420 But when some were hardened and believed not, but spoke evil of that way, 05:19.820 --> 05:25.720 spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them and 05:25.720 --> 05:29.480 separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 05:29.700 --> 05:33.180 Okay, go ahead and pick it up at verse 21 through 23, please. 05:35.930 --> 05:40.570 After these things were ended, Saul purposed in the spirit when he had 05:40.570 --> 05:45.810 passed through Macedonia to go to Jerusalem, saying, after I have been 05:45.810 --> 05:48.110 there, I must also see Rome. 05:48.510 --> 05:54.170 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that minister unto him, Timothy and Erastus. 05:54.530 --> 05:56.910 But he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 05:57.650 --> 06:03.750 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way, about that way. 06:03.910 --> 06:09.770 And in some of your secular material, you're going to see way is capitalized, 06:09.830 --> 06:10.110 right? 06:10.310 --> 06:11.430 It's a proper noun. 06:11.870 --> 06:12.230 Okay. 06:12.550 --> 06:13.010 Way. 06:13.490 --> 06:14.130 All right. 06:14.510 --> 06:19.810 And the same time there rose no small stir about that way. 06:20.570 --> 06:25.090 There is a Christian denomination called followers of the way. 06:26.090 --> 06:30.710 And followers of the way, how many of you familiar with denominator followers of the 06:30.710 --> 06:30.830 way? 06:31.270 --> 06:38.730 Does anybody know their, their theological beliefs and practices? 06:39.190 --> 06:40.350 Anybody familiar with it? 06:41.090 --> 06:41.590 Okay. 06:42.610 --> 06:45.830 It's not according to the way we find here in this book. 06:45.910 --> 06:46.730 I can tell you that. 06:47.230 --> 06:47.550 Okay. 06:47.790 --> 06:51.550 They hold to the same central teachings of the Catholic Church. 06:51.830 --> 06:52.330 Okay. 06:52.870 --> 06:53.550 All right. 06:53.570 --> 06:56.550 Let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts 22, 1 through 4. 07:00.230 --> 07:02.650 Acts 22, 1 through 4. 07:16.500 --> 07:21.560 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear you my defense, which I make now unto you. 07:22.500 --> 07:26.920 And when they heard that he spoke in the Hebrew tongue to them that kept the more 07:26.920 --> 07:28.900 silence. 07:29.060 --> 07:32.360 And he said, I'm verily a man, which I'm a Jew. 07:32.440 --> 07:33.820 Now he said I was a Christian now. 07:34.460 --> 07:34.940 Okay. 07:35.320 --> 07:36.280 He says, I'm a Jew. 07:36.420 --> 07:36.720 Go ahead. 07:36.720 --> 07:44.180 I am verily a man, which I'm a Jew born in Tarsus, a city in Sicilia, yet brought up 07:44.180 --> 07:48.600 in this city at the feet of Gamaliel and taught according to the perfect manner of 07:48.600 --> 07:49.400 the law of the fathers. 07:49.400 --> 07:53.780 And taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers. 07:54.100 --> 07:55.500 Just keep that in your mind. 07:56.100 --> 08:02.360 And taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers and was zealous 08:02.360 --> 08:03.540 towards Elohim. 08:03.900 --> 08:05.960 How many of you are zealous towards Elohim? 08:07.660 --> 08:10.240 How many of you are zealous towards Elohim? 08:10.360 --> 08:12.280 How many of us are zealous towards Elohim? 08:12.500 --> 08:15.380 Do we even know what it means to be zealous towards Elohim? 08:17.580 --> 08:21.540 And was zealous towards Elohim as you all are this day. 08:21.700 --> 08:23.100 And I persecuted, what? 08:24.960 --> 08:30.440 Persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering it to prisons, 08:30.600 --> 08:32.740 both men and women. 08:33.160 --> 08:33.480 Okay. 08:33.540 --> 08:34.980 Let's see what this way is called. 08:34.980 --> 08:38.680 Let's go to Acts 24, 1-5. 08:51.860 --> 08:57.260 And after five days, Ananias the high priest descended with the elders and with 08:57.260 --> 09:01.360 a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Saul. 09:02.160 --> 09:06.860 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that 09:06.860 --> 09:12.040 by you we enjoy great quietness and that very worthy deeds are done unto this 09:12.040 --> 09:14.040 nation by your providence. 09:14.040 --> 09:20.460 We accept it always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 09:21.400 --> 09:26.260 Notwithstanding that I be not further tedious unto you, I pray you that you 09:26.260 --> 09:28.900 would hear us of your clemency a few words. 09:29.160 --> 09:29.160 Right. 09:29.260 --> 09:29.520 Okay. 09:29.600 --> 09:30.240 Now go here. 09:31.000 --> 09:32.420 For we have found this man. 09:32.460 --> 09:33.600 Now who's this man now? 09:34.060 --> 09:34.680 Saul. 09:35.240 --> 09:36.820 Saul is this man. 09:36.940 --> 09:38.460 For we have found this man. 09:39.400 --> 09:41.020 A pestilent fellow. 09:41.120 --> 09:42.440 He's a pestilent fellow. 09:42.440 --> 09:44.160 And a mover of sedition. 09:44.400 --> 09:46.140 A mover of sedition. 09:46.420 --> 09:47.720 Among all the Hebrews. 09:47.740 --> 09:49.140 Among all the Hebrews. 09:49.460 --> 09:50.260 Throughout the world. 09:50.280 --> 09:51.240 Throughout the world. 09:51.440 --> 09:52.960 And a ringleader of the sect. 09:53.020 --> 09:55.060 And a ringleader of the sect. 09:55.200 --> 09:56.120 Of the Nazarenes. 09:56.120 --> 09:57.480 Of the Nazarenes. 09:57.760 --> 09:59.400 Of the Nazarenes. 09:59.480 --> 09:59.720 Right? 10:00.060 --> 10:01.380 Now watch. 10:02.500 --> 10:05.200 Watch what Felix says. 10:05.640 --> 10:07.720 Or watch what Luke writes about Felix. 10:08.060 --> 10:09.260 Go and read verse 22. 10:09.260 --> 10:14.400 So we're bringing a Nazarene, okay, to be judged. 10:14.600 --> 10:14.740 Right? 10:15.160 --> 10:19.260 We're bringing not just a Nazarene, but a ringleader of the Nazarenes. 10:19.980 --> 10:20.300 Okay. 10:20.600 --> 10:21.680 To be judged. 10:21.760 --> 10:22.000 Right? 10:22.140 --> 10:22.340 Okay. 10:22.620 --> 10:26.440 Now watch what Felix equates to be a Nazarene. 10:26.500 --> 10:26.900 Go ahead. 10:27.180 --> 10:31.140 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way. 10:31.220 --> 10:32.100 Of that way. 10:32.960 --> 10:34.380 The way of the Nazarenes. 10:35.100 --> 10:36.320 Not the way of Christianity. 10:36.420 --> 10:36.980 Right? 10:37.040 --> 10:37.220 Why? 10:37.340 --> 10:38.880 Because it never appeared in your Bible. 10:38.880 --> 10:40.080 It never appeared in your book. 10:40.340 --> 10:42.820 Until the Gnostics, okay, translated. 10:44.600 --> 10:46.240 From Hebrew to Greek. 10:46.400 --> 10:46.620 Okay. 10:46.920 --> 10:48.020 And they inserted. 10:48.200 --> 10:48.560 Right? 10:48.640 --> 10:49.860 Christian in the book. 10:50.980 --> 10:52.420 Under the directive. 10:52.760 --> 10:52.940 Okay. 10:53.020 --> 10:54.580 Or guidance, if you will. 10:55.220 --> 10:56.020 Of Ignatius. 10:56.420 --> 10:58.360 He was the first one to use that term. 10:58.420 --> 10:59.640 Go ahead and pick it up at verse 22. 11:00.400 --> 11:04.220 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way. 11:04.420 --> 11:06.200 He deferred them and said. 11:06.800 --> 11:11.560 When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your 11:11.560 --> 11:11.940 magic. 11:12.340 --> 11:12.340 Okay. 11:12.540 --> 11:12.880 Alright. 11:13.320 --> 11:14.720 That way is a unique way. 11:14.920 --> 11:16.240 The way of the Nazarenes. 11:16.480 --> 11:23.360 And today we are going to attempt to have an exhaustive study on the sect of the 11:23.360 --> 11:24.300 Nazarenes. 11:24.500 --> 11:24.800 Okay. 11:24.940 --> 11:26.800 Let's see who the Nazarenes were. 11:26.940 --> 11:28.620 Let's see who they are today. 11:28.820 --> 11:31.920 And let's see who is heir to the kingdom. 11:32.240 --> 11:32.500 Okay. 11:32.500 --> 11:33.200 Alright. 11:33.440 --> 11:35.640 Let's go ahead and pick it up at our first bullet, my brother. 11:37.100 --> 11:39.400 The word does not occur in the Bible. 11:39.520 --> 11:39.920 That's right. 11:40.260 --> 11:47.000 In Greek, christianism, Christianity was first used by Ignatius. 11:47.020 --> 11:49.040 This was after the death of the apostles. 11:49.460 --> 11:49.600 Okay. 11:49.740 --> 11:51.240 After the death of the apostles. 11:51.520 --> 11:52.160 Go ahead. 11:54.400 -->

Luke's epistles is that they were called 12:18.240 --> 12:19.900 Christian first at Antioch. 12:19.980 --> 12:22.640 They were not called Christians first at Antioch. 12:23.020 --> 12:23.120 Okay. 12:23.120 --> 12:31.200 Christian was a term that was created and used by everyone after Ignatius. 12:32.000 --> 12:34.560 They were called followers of Meshiach. 12:34.820 --> 12:34.980 Right. 12:35.160 --> 12:36.800 Followers of the anointed. 12:37.020 --> 12:37.240 Okay. 12:37.460 --> 12:40.960 At Antioch or Nazarenes at Antioch. 12:41.000 --> 12:41.260 Okay. 12:41.500 --> 12:43.600 Now

of a sect of early Christians of Jewish origin. 13:01.660 --> 13:02.080 Okay. 13:02.420 --> 13:04.660 Y'all just might as well strike that out of your mind. 13:04.760 --> 13:08.640 A member of a sect of early Christians of Jewish origin. 13:09.160 --> 13:10.700 Of Jewish origin. 13:10.720 --> 13:12.680 Now notice what it says here. 13:12.880 --> 13:14.140 Who retained. 13:14.660 --> 13:16.320 This

13:33.340 Followers of Yahshua the anointed. 13:33.920 --> 13:35.200 Acts 24 and 5. 13:35.640 --> 13:39.760 The earliest Christians were sometimes referred to as Nazarenes. 13:40.140 --> 13:42.820 Particularly by their Jewish contemporaries. 13:42.820 --> 13:47.940 In later church history, the term was applied to a sect of 4th century Jewish 13:47.940 --> 13:50.340 Christians who observed Jewish rituals. 13:50.600 --> 13:50.680 Okay. 13:50.780 --> 13:55.140 No such thing as a Jewish Christian which we will learn a little bit later in this 13:55.140 --> 13:55.980 discussion. 13:56.700 --> 13:57.040 Okay. 13:57.420 --> 13:58.380 Next bullet please. 13:58.560 --> 14:01.760 Thus a new Jewish sect arose known as the Nazarenes. 14:01.780 --> 14:03.520 Thus a new Jewish sect. 14:03.520 --> 14:04.580 Not no Jewish Christian. 14:05.420 --> 14:11.560 A new Jewish sect arose known as the Nazarenes. 14:11.560 --> 14:17.760 Under the leadership of James. 14:17.980 --> 14:20.080 Based on the belief in. 14:20.700 --> 14:21.800 And they have Jesus here. 14:22.400 --> 14:24.320 Continued Messiah ship. 14:25.280 --> 14:30.180 The Pharisees did not regard the sect as a heretical. 14:30.440 --> 14:31.380 Is that right? 14:31.440 --> 14:31.840 Barack? 14:32.660 --> 14:33.600 Heretical. 14:34.000 --> 14:34.280 Okay. 14:35.060 --> 14:40.760 Indeed, the Nazarenes were regarded as being within the Pharisee party. 14:42.500 --> 14:46.560 Regarded as being within the Pharisee party. 14:46.900 --> 14:48.940 In other words, strong similarities. 14:49.300 --> 14:52.080 This is from Revolution in Judea, page 168. 14:53.060 --> 14:54.080 Next bullet please. 14:54.700 --> 15:00.040 Actually, the name Nazarene only occurs about a dozen times in Talmudic 15:00.040 --> 15:00.420 literature. 15:00.760 --> 15:00.940 Uh-huh. 15:01.440 --> 15:06.040 In all but two of these instances, it refers to Jesus the Nazarene. 15:06.420 --> 15:06.800 Uh-huh. 15:07.060 --> 15:10.280 Half of these passages were censored in the Middle Ages. 15:26.060 --> 15:33.180 Either by Christian editors or Jewish editors for fear of them. 15:33.460 --> 15:37.620 Okay, I will tell you that it was edited by the Christians. 15:38.440 --> 15:39.820 That's what I will tell you. 15:39.820 --> 15:43.400 And I will be able to substantiate that momentarily. 15:44.120 --> 15:50.380 The censored passages were restored to the Talmud by R.N.N. 15:51.260 --> 15:56.920 Rabbo Navasi-Gitscher, what we just call him Rabbi, from older MSS. 15:59.090 --> 16:03.980 From references to the early Nazarenes from various sources, we have learned a 16:03.980 --> 16:06.260 number of vitally important things about them. 16:06.260 --> 16:14.920 For example, we have discovered that they used both Old and New Testaments, 16:15.200 --> 16:21.440 believed in the resurrection of the dead, had a knowledge of Hebrew and read the Old 16:21.440 --> 16:27.960 Testament, and at least one gospel in that language, believed Elohim is the creator 16:27.960 --> 16:33.680 of all things, believed in one Elohim and his son Yahshua the anointed. 16:34.720 --> 16:41.080 Nazarenes never believed that Yahshua was the almighty God, but they did believe 16:41.080 --> 16:47.080 that he indeed was the son of God, which is verified throughout the epistles, 16:47.700 --> 16:49.460 throughout all of the epistles. 16:50.880 --> 16:56.540 Believed in one Elohim or one God and his son, Yahshua the anointed, observed the 16:56.540 --> 17:02.660 law of Moses, had a high respect for the writings of the apostle Paul. 17:02.840 --> 17:04.020 All right. 17:04.620 --> 17:07.940 We're talking about the sect of the Nazarenes. 17:08.120 --> 17:10.440 We're talking about the sect of the Nazarenes. 17:10.580 --> 17:15.200 Now let's go and read what the Christians wrote about them. 17:15.420 --> 17:20.440 Not what Nazarenes wrote about Nazarenes, but what about, but let's go and read what 17:20.440 --> 17:22.700 Christians wrote about Nazarenes. 17:23.580 --> 17:24.860 First bullet, please. 17:25.120 --> 17:28.820 Church confessions, a history of anti-Semitism. 17:29.000 --> 17:29.660 You got that right. 17:30.300 --> 17:31.020 Epiphanius. 17:31.880 --> 17:36.860 We shall now especially consider heretics who call themselves Nazarenes. 17:36.920 --> 17:43.420 These heresies passing over the name of Jesus did not call themselves Aesians. 17:43.580 --> 17:46.160 We didn't call ourselves right after Jesus. 17:46.740 --> 17:47.460 Go ahead. 17:47.680 --> 17:49.460 And did not keep the name Jews. 17:49.660 --> 17:51.960 They did not call themselves Christians. 17:51.960 --> 17:52.660 That's correct. 17:52.880 --> 17:53.760 But Nazarenes. 17:53.820 --> 17:54.840 But Nazarenes. 17:55.120 --> 17:55.840 Go ahead. 17:55.920 --> 17:58.160 Taking this name from the place Nazareth. 17:58.300 --> 17:59.740 Now this is Epiphanius. 17:59.820 --> 18:00.040 Okay. 18:00.080 --> 18:01.520 One of the early church fathers. 18:01.660 --> 18:01.960 Okay. 18:02.460 --> 18:06.600 You know, who was talking about these Nazarenes in his epistle. 18:06.820 --> 18:07.100 Okay. 18:07.260 --> 18:07.640 Go ahead. 18:08.100 --> 18:10.780 They are mainly Jews and nothing else. 18:11.360 --> 18:16.320 They make use not only of the new Testament, but they also use it in a way 18:16.320 --> 18:17.600 of the old Testament Jews. 18:18.020 --> 18:23.200 For they do not forbid the books of the law, the prophets and the writings so that 18:23.200 --> 18:29.040 they are approved of by the Jews for whom the Nazarenes do not differ in anything. 18:29.360 --> 18:34.220 And they profess all the dogmas pertaining to the prescriptions of the law and to the 18:34.220 --> 18:37.400 custom of the Jews, except they believe in the Messiah. 18:37.840 --> 18:39.220 Except they believe in the Messiah. 18:39.540 --> 18:43.880 The difference between one of the old order and the new order, right? 18:44.120 --> 18:48.780 The new order practices the precepts of the old order with the exception they 18:48.780 --> 18:51.200 believe in Yahshua as a son of Elohim. 18:51.740 --> 18:52.100 Okay. 18:52.480 --> 18:52.920 Go ahead. 18:53.400 --> 18:58.980 They preach that there is but one Elohim and his son Yahshua, the Messiah. 18:59.240 --> 19:01.600 Well, they are very learned in the Hebrew language. 19:01.760 --> 19:05.900 For they like the Jews read the whole law than the prophets. 19:06.280 --> 19:09.260 They differ from Jews because they believe in the Messiah. 19:09.920 --> 19:14.240 And from the Christians in that they are to this day bound to the Jewish rights 19:14.240 --> 19:18.400 such as circumcision, the Sabbath and other ceremonies. 19:18.940 --> 19:23.420 They have the good news according to Matthew in its entirety in Hebrew. 19:23.740 --> 19:23.860 Right. 19:24.000 --> 19:24.340 Go ahead. 19:24.460 --> 19:29.560 For it is clear that they still preserve this in the Hebrew alphabet as it was 19:29.560 --> 19:30.360 originally written. 19:30.560 --> 19:30.840 Okay. 19:30.860 --> 19:36.580 This is a confession of Epiphanios. 19:37.000 --> 19:37.100 Okay. 19:37.420 --> 19:37.920 All right. 19:37.980 --> 19:38.880 Next bullet, please. 19:39.320 --> 19:44.780 These Jewish believers in Messiah were called Pasagan Indians who are so named by 19:44.780 --> 19:50.800 the Italians from the Latin word Pasagium, meaning passage because of the wandering 19:50.800 --> 19:52.440 unsettled life of these people. 19:52.700 --> 19:52.780 Okay. 19:52.880 --> 19:55.260 Wandering unsettled life of these people. 19:55.380 --> 19:56.980 Wandering and unsettling. 19:57.180 --> 19:57.940 Go ahead. 19:59.820 --> 20:06.560 Gregorius of Pergamo wrote about the Nazarenes, Pasagini in 1250 CE stating. 20:06.720 --> 20:07.620 1250 CE. 20:07.780 --> 20:11.140 So we're talking about what, 800 years ago, around 800 years ago, maybe. 20:11.540 --> 20:11.780 Okay. 20:11.960 --> 20:12.280 Go ahead. 20:12.840 --> 20:15.660 There still remains the sect of the Pasagini. 20:15.940 --> 20:19.880 They teach that the Old Testament festivals are to be observed. 20:20.780 --> 20:21.320 Circumcision. 20:21.500 --> 20:21.740 Right. 20:21.980 --> 20:23.100 Distinction of food. 20:23.140 --> 20:23.520 Go ahead. 20:23.960 --> 20:26.660 And nearly all other matters save the sacrifice. 20:26.660 --> 20:28.100 Except the sacrifices. 20:28.120 --> 20:30.780 See, they teach that you have to keep the synodic covenant. 20:30.840 --> 20:33.360 The only thing that they teach against are the sacrifices. 20:34.460 --> 20:34.620 Okay. 20:34.980 --> 20:38.440 So, I mean, they're called Nazarenes, and then you had Italians, right? 20:38.600 --> 20:39.980 You know, call them Pasagini. 20:41.140 --> 20:42.000 Wanderers, right? 20:42.420 --> 20:44.240 And Nazarene been called a Christian yet. 20:45.140 --> 20:45.800 Go ahead. 20:45.880 --> 20:46.080 Read. 20:46.280 --> 20:49.600 The Old Testament is to be observed as literally as the new. 20:49.780 --> 20:50.180 Right. 20:50.320 --> 20:52.820 We observe the Old Testament as the new, not no old. 20:53.520 --> 20:55.960 And so I think you have history on that. 20:56.600 --> 21:04.300 The division of the Old and New Testament, if you will, was a concept of one of the 21:04.300 --> 21:05.140 early church fathers. 21:05.260 --> 21:05.800 Is this correct? 21:06.360 --> 21:06.500 Okay. 21:07.220 --> 21:07.680 All right. 21:08.180 --> 21:08.560 Let's see. 21:08.620 --> 21:11.740 The Old Testament is to be observed as literally as the new. 21:12.480 --> 21:15.200 Circumcision is to be kept according to the letter. 21:15.500 --> 21:17.160 In other words, 8th day. 21:18.880 --> 21:19.660 Go ahead. 21:19.800 --> 21:20.220 Next bullet. 21:20.720 --> 21:23.800 Justin Martyr in a letter to Diognetus. 21:23.980 --> 21:24.200 Okay. 21:24.440 --> 21:26.480 We had church father Epiphanius. 21:26.840 --> 21:29.320 We have a other church father, Gregorius, right? 21:29.420 --> 21:30.020 A Bergamo. 21:30.200 --> 21:32.380 And let's go and see what church father. 21:32.680 --> 21:34.760 Now, our church fathers are Christians. 21:35.160 --> 21:36.000 They are Christians. 21:36.120 --> 21:36.480 Okay. 21:36.880 --> 21:44.280 And I didn't have this this secular history explained out in any in any depth. 21:44.460 --> 21:48.240 The reason why you have the term Christian that was created. 21:48.580 --> 21:55.040 The reason that the term Christian was created was to create a religious body 21:55.040 --> 22:00.860 that was separate and that was anti-Hebraic. 22:01.140 --> 22:04.360 That was the purpose for creating the term Christian. 22:04.880 --> 22:05.060 Okay. 22:05.320 --> 22:07.200 You can go back and you can verify that. 22:07.400 --> 22:11.580 And some of that will be verified here in our discussion on this Sabbath. 22:12.620 --> 22:16.940 Justin Martyr in a letter to Diognetus concerning Jewish practices. 22:17.720 --> 22:23.920 As for their scrupulousness about meat and their superstitions about the Sabbath and 22:23.920 --> 22:28.060 their much vaunted circumcision and their pretentious festivals and new moon 22:28.060 --> 22:33.940 observances, all of them too nonsensical to be worthy to worth discussing. 22:34.500 --> 22:35.860 Fifth Epistle to Diognetus. 22:36.080 --> 22:39.440 Yes, all of them too nonsensical to be worth discussing. 22:39.700 --> 22:40.200 Right? 22:40.300 --> 22:43.200 We want to talk about that mess, that mess, right? 22:43.380 --> 22:45.200 And then and understand something. 22:45.360 --> 22:47.600 They're talking about the Nazarenes people. 22:48.540 --> 22:49.040 Okay. 22:49.060 --> 22:50.640 They're talking about the Nazarenes. 22:50.720 --> 22:57.300 And here you have a Hebrew that has accused Saul of being the ringleader of 22:57.300 --> 22:58.140 the Nazarenes. 22:58.500 --> 23:04.460 But when we go in and we qualify and define who Nazarenes are, they keep the 23:04.460 --> 23:10.160 customs that the Most High established amongst their fathers. 23:10.400 --> 23:12.220 In other words, they practice the covenant. 23:12.980 --> 23:13.920 That's what the Nazarenes. 23:14.140 --> 23:19.560 The only difference is that they believe that Yahshua, the anointed, is indeed the 23:19.560 --> 23:23.380 son of Elohim and that you have to be purified. 23:23.380 --> 23:25.160 Go ahead and read. 23:26.480 --> 23:32.800 Epistle of Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch to the Maxians in 115 CE. 23:33.080 --> 23:34.000 Okay, go ahead. 23:34.180 --> 23:39.880 Now let's see what he wrote to his churches that he was the overseer of. 23:40.320 --> 23:40.660 Go ahead. 23:41.040 --> 23:46.380 To profess Jesus Christ while continuing to follow Jewish customs is an absurdity. 23:46.440 --> 23:51.420 Okay, this is what the first Bishop of Antioch said to profess Jesus Christ while 23:51.420 --> 23:54.600 continuing, while continuing. 23:55.180 --> 24:02.300 Okay, so this suggests that Ignatius was pulling people from practicing what they 24:02.300 --> 24:07.820 call Jewish rights or Jewish rituals while professing the anointed. 24:08.040 --> 24:08.480 Right. 24:08.700 --> 24:10.780 So what is Ignatius doing? 24:11.500 --> 24:14.900 He is removing people from Nazarene theology. 24:15.280 --> 24:16.840 That is what he's doing. 24:17.080 --> 24:18.240 Does everybody follow that? 24:18.920 --> 24:24.360 Because our secular history is going to get very disturbing here in a little bit. 24:24.720 --> 24:29.960 Okay, so we just need to understand what the motive and what these Christian church 24:29.960 --> 24:31.240 fathers are doing. 24:31.680 --> 24:32.640 Okay, go ahead and read. 24:33.220 --> 24:38.040 To profess Jesus Christ while continuing to follow Jewish customs is an absurdity. 24:38.060 --> 24:42.920 Okay, now, you know, John, John the Revelator, okay, was exiled to the Isle of 24:42.920 --> 24:43.380 Patmos. 24:43.480 --> 24:45.520 And we have this epistle in the year 96 CE. 24:46.100 --> 24:51.320 Okay, and we have this epistle being written, okay, to one of Ignatius, 24:51.540 --> 24:55.640 one of Ignatius assembly in Magnesia, okay, and 115 CE. 24:55.920 --> 25:05.320 So not soon after, okay, after the death of the last apostle, the so called last 25:05.320 --> 25:07.580 apostle, do we see this? 25:08.120 --> 25:11.960 Do we see what you call it? 25:12.340 --> 25:14.400 This mess being communicated? 25:14.800 --> 25:15.260 Go ahead. 25:16.000 --> 25:18.580 The Christian faith does not look to Judaism. 25:18.680 --> 25:21.320 The Christian faith does not look to Judaism. 25:21.680 --> 25:25.010 The Christian faith does not look to Judaism. 25:25.350 --> 25:28.750 The Christian faith does not look to Judaism. 25:29.310 --> 25:29.530 Why? 25:29.730 --> 25:32.890 Because it is an entity of itself. 25:34.220 --> 25:34.890 Go ahead. 25:35.210 --> 25:37.570 But Judaism looks to Christianity. 25:37.670 --> 25:39.250 Judaism looks to Christianity. 25:40.430 --> 25:41.770 Okay, go ahead and read. 25:42.250 --> 25:45.650 Tertullian concerning the Sabbath and circumcision. 25:45.810 --> 25:52.390 It follows according that insofar as the abolition of carnal circumcision and of 25:52.390 --> 25:57.850 the old law is demonstrated as having been consummated at its specific times, 25:58.210 --> 26:02.570 so also the observance of the Sabbath is demonstrated to have been temporary. 26:03.010 --> 26:04.930 Demonstrated to have been temporary. 26:05.330 --> 26:07.370 Okay, this is from Tertullian. 26:08.470 --> 26:09.190 Tertullian. 26:09.850 --> 26:11.770 Okay, next bullet please. 26:13.050 --> 26:17.930 Augustine, the true image of the Hebrew is Judas Iscariot. 26:18.090 --> 26:22.370 Okay, the true image of the Hebrew is Judas Iscariot. 26:22.370 --> 26:22.850 Go ahead. 26:22.950 --> 26:25.050 Who sells the master for silver? 26:25.570 --> 26:29.950 The Jew can never understand the scriptures and forever will bear the guilt 26:29.950 --> 26:31.850 for the death of Yahshua. 26:32.150 --> 26:33.190 Okay, all right. 26:33.550 --> 26:35.630 Let's go ahead and pick it up at our next bullet. 26:38.950 --> 26:43.490 Jerome, those who accept the Messiah... In other words, who are the Nazarenes? 26:43.590 --> 26:44.810 Who are the Nazarenes? 26:44.930 --> 26:45.510 Okay, go ahead. 26:46.170 --> 26:50.630 Those who accept the Messiah in such a way... They are those who accept the 26:50.630 --> 26:51.130 Messiah. 26:51.130 --> 26:53.390 They are those who accept the Messiah. 26:53.510 --> 26:53.970 Go ahead. 26:54.650 --> 26:58.670 In such a way that they do not cease to observe the old law. 26:58.830 --> 26:59.630 Uh-huh. 26:59.710 --> 27:02.370 Jerome, Acts 8 14. 27:02.510 --> 27:02.790 Go ahead. 27:03.010 --> 27:07.330 They believe in the anointed, the son of Elohim, born of Mary the virgin. 27:07.350 --> 27:07.710 Uh-huh. 27:08.090 --> 27:12.710 And they say about him that he suffered under Pontius Pilate and rose again. 27:12.790 --> 27:13.150 Go ahead. 27:13.550 --> 27:17.510 And they have mixed faith in the anointed with the keeping of the law. 27:18.210 --> 27:21.130 Okay, let's go and run down some scriptures. 27:21.370 --> 27:22.170 Isaiah 8. 27:23.290 --> 27:24.270 Isaiah 8. 27:24.450 --> 27:26.390 And let's pick it up at 16 and 20. 27:30.980 --> 27:37.800 Jerome brought this up as he was expounding on Isaiah 8 and 14. 27:38.440 --> 27:38.680 Okay. 27:41.360 --> 27:45.860 Nazarenes have the perfect understanding of the will of the Most High. 27:46.040 --> 27:49.180 And the will of the Most High is to be obedient. 27:49.180 --> 27:49.640 Okay. 27:49.940 --> 27:51.120 To his code of ethics. 27:51.340 --> 27:51.980 Okay. 27:52.240 --> 27:55.180 And to have the testimony of his son, Yahshua. 27:55.540 --> 28:00.480 Uh, to accept him as a propitiation for our iniquity and to accept him as the 28:00.480 --> 28:08.460 mediator as the intercessor and as, uh, as the king, as the king over all of 28:08.460 --> 28:13.620 the earth to fulfill the prophetic statement that he will sit on David's 28:13.620 --> 28:18.320 throne and will establish a theocracy upon the face of this earth. 28:18.540 --> 28:18.660 Okay. 28:19.120 --> 28:24.360 Uh, Isaiah 8 and let's go ahead and finish with, uh, Jerome's, uh, discussion 28:24.360 --> 28:26.960 regarding 14, 15 and 16. 28:27.060 --> 28:27.440 Go ahead. 28:28.560 --> 28:33.140 Bind up the testimony, bind up the testimony, seal the law among my 28:33.140 --> 28:33.620 disciples. 28:33.760 --> 28:34.000 Okay. 28:34.360 --> 28:41.620 The law among my disciples seal the law among my disciples seal the law among my 28:41.620 --> 28:46.220 disciples verse 20 to the law and to the testimony. 28:46.740 --> 28:52.040 If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them to 28:52.040 --> 28:53.540 the law and to the testimony. 28:54.440 --> 28:59.760 If anyone who speaks to you does not speak according to the law and to the testimony, 29:00.500 --> 29:03.140 it is because there is no truth in them. 29:03.980 --> 29:06.560 Matthew chapter 7, 21 through 23. 29:06.800 --> 29:09.960 We want to understand what is Nazarene theology? 29:10.100 --> 29:14.280 One of the reasons why, uh, Hebraic assemblies, and I can certainly speak for 29:14.280 --> 29:18.920 this Hebraic assembly feels uncomfortable with saying, well, we practice Nazarene 29:18.920 --> 29:22.580 theology is because how many churches Christian churches do, you know, 29:22.580 --> 29:24.080 call church of the Nazarenes. 29:24.700 --> 29:29.020 They are loaded and they all on Sunday worship. 29:29.160 --> 29:30.600 They do not observe the law. 29:30.680 --> 29:31.120 Okay. 29:31.280 --> 29:32.900 The law has been fulfilled, right? 29:33.060 --> 29:34.680 They use Jesus Christ a whole not. 29:34.840 --> 29:36.340 And this is what we're going to see. 29:36.340 --> 29:40.420 If this is what the Nazarenes did, according to the Bible, according to the 29:40.420 --> 29:45.080 scriptures, Matthew chapter 7, 21 through 23. 29:46.560 --> 29:51.360 Not everyone that says unto me, master, master shall enter into the 29:51.360 --> 29:55.760 kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my father, but he that does the 29:55.760 --> 29:59.580 will of Jesus go here, but he that does the will of my father. 29:59.660 --> 29:59.860 Okay. 29:59.880 --> 30:03.680 But he that does the will of Christ go here, but he that does the will of my 30:03.680 --> 30:09.420 father, which is in heaven, many will say to me in that day, master, master, 30:09.580 --> 30:11.820 have we not prophesied in your name? 30:11.900 --> 30:12.280 That's right. 30:12.640 --> 30:14.460 And in your name have cast out devil. 30:14.760 --> 30:17.220 And in your name done many wonderful work. 30:17.320 --> 30:17.500 Okay. 30:17.500 --> 30:18.240 Let's make sure. 30:18.360 --> 30:18.560 Okay. 30:18.620 --> 30:22.000 Now let's just go ahead and, and, and, and go through our elimination. 30:22.240 --> 30:22.720 Okay. 30:23.120 --> 30:24.300 A process here. 30:24.340 --> 30:24.620 Okay. 30:25.100 --> 30:26.840 Muslims, you can throw them out. 30:26.880 --> 30:27.280 Okay. 30:27.840 --> 30:29.980 Allah and Muhammad, right? 30:30.220 --> 30:34.040 Not Yeshua, not a Mashiach, not Christ, anything of that nature. 30:34.480 --> 30:36.340 Hindus throw them out. 30:36.540 --> 30:38.620 Buddhists throw those guys out. 30:39.420 --> 30:43.840 Uh, Shinto isms and, uh, me isms and I isms throw all that stuff out. 30:43.900 --> 30:44.220 Okay. 30:44.420 --> 30:52.880 So we are left with two groups, two ecclesiastical units, Nazarenes and 30:52.880 --> 30:59.620 Christians, Nazarenes and Christians, all secular information points to the fact 30:59.620 --> 31:05.540 that the Nazarenes practice the synodic covenant with the exception of the 31:05.540 --> 31:06.320 sacrifices. 31:06.660 --> 31:08.700 In other words, they kept law. 31:08.780 --> 31:09.640 They practice law. 31:10.920 --> 31:16.900 The Christians, the Christians stated that law was not to be observed. 31:17.080 --> 31:21.920 They had that it had been a null promulgated right on Mount Sinai. 31:21.980 --> 31:22.300 Okay. 31:22.300 --> 31:25.180 But what's fulfilled in the blood of the Messiah. 31:25.500 --> 31:26.020 Okay. 31:26.300 --> 31:27.620 All right, go ahead. 31:28.120 --> 31:30.200 And in your name done many wonderful works. 31:30.460 --> 31:34.540 And then when I profess unto them, I never knew you. 31:34.700 --> 31:35.500 I never knew you. 31:35.560 --> 31:37.020 Now this is the time of refreshing. 31:37.240 --> 31:38.260 This is the time of judgment. 31:38.720 --> 31:42.240 And Yahshua is going to say something very specific to them. 31:42.740 --> 31:43.100 Go ahead. 31:43.420 --> 31:44.360 Depart from me. 31:44.540 --> 31:45.780 You that work iniquity. 31:45.860 --> 31:46.840 You that work iniquity. 31:46.920 --> 31:50.020 Now, how many of you have a marker by iniquity in your books? 31:50.760 --> 31:51.060 Okay. 31:51.540 --> 31:53.840 And, uh, what does it say in your book? 31:55.340 --> 31:55.820 Lawlessness. 31:56.640 --> 31:58.360 Yahshua says, depart from me. 31:58.500 --> 32:00.720 You that work lawlessness. 32:01.260 --> 32:02.580 Notice what he says. 32:02.960 --> 32:06.460 He says, and then when I profess unto them, I never knew you depart from me. 32:06.700 --> 32:08.780 You that work lawlessness. 32:09.360 --> 32:11.240 In other words, this is their practice. 32:11.780 --> 32:14.100 Keep in your mind, work lawlessness. 32:14.320 --> 32:15.940 They don't even acknowledge the law. 32:16.840 --> 32:18.480 They don't acknowledge the law. 32:18.780 --> 32:21.340 The law does not exist to them. 32:22.160 --> 32:30.280 And the very last day they say, or Yahshua will say, get away from me. 32:30.460 --> 32:34.280 You who have not observed law. 32:35.060 --> 32:35.560 Okay. 32:35.640 --> 32:38.380 Let's continue Matthew 13 and 41. 32:45.350 --> 32:52.190 Let's, uh, let's bring Yahshua on back to, to, to, to this earth and let's see what, 32:52.370 --> 32:53.290 what takes place. 32:58.500 --> 33:04.280 The son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom. 33:04.660 --> 33:05.900 All things that offend. 33:06.160 --> 33:08.900 I'm trying to find what do we offend against? 33:09.060 --> 33:11.300 I mean, what do we against? 33:11.600 --> 33:15.460 I mean, he shall gather out of, uh, he shall gather out of his kingdom. 33:15.460 --> 33:19.060 All things that offend, offend, go ahead. 33:19.380 --> 33:24.780 And them, which do iniquity and them that, and them, and them, which do iniquity. 33:24.840 --> 33:26.900 How many of you have a marker by iniquity? 33:28.580 --> 33:29.060 Lawlessness. 33:29.500 --> 33:29.960 Okay. 33:30.020 --> 33:34.080 So let's backtrack the son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall 33:34.080 --> 33:35.780 gather out of his kingdom. 33:36.000 --> 33:42.260 All things that offend and them, which them, which do not practice law. 33:43.000 --> 33:43.840 Okay. 33:44.500 --> 33:48.620 Let's, uh, go to, uh, Matthew, excuse me. 33:48.880 --> 33:55.220 Let's pick it up at Luke chapter 16, nine through 31, Luke chapter 16, 33:55.760 --> 33:57.320 19 through 31. 33:59.760 --> 34:07.720 We want to understand exhaustively who the Nazarenes are, who they were, uh, 34:07.980 --> 34:10.020 what, what MO, what was the MO? 34:10.420 --> 34:12.400 What, what, I mean, what was their method of operation? 34:12.560 --> 34:12.820 Okay. 34:13.280 --> 34:15.980 You know, uh, RP, their religious practices. 34:16.200 --> 34:16.720 Okay. 34:17.100 --> 34:19.640 You know, their TO their theocratic ordinances. 34:19.840 --> 34:20.200 Okay. 34:21.380 --> 34:26.760 Uh, let's go ahead and pick it up at, uh, Luke 16, 19 through 31. 34:28.920 --> 34:35.020 The so-called doctrine arose out of Nazareth because Yahshua was the Nazarene 34:35.020 --> 34:36.500 Yahshua of Nazareth. 34:36.500 --> 34:36.860 Right. 34:37.120 --> 34:39.160 And so what we have is some correction. 34:39.340 --> 34:39.660 Okay. 34:40.280 --> 34:44.880 Um, in the, in the writings as where you would find many scholars, okay. 34:45.160 --> 34:49.220 Uh, states that it really should have been, uh, not Yahshua of Nazareth, 34:49.340 --> 34:50.860 but Yahshua, the Nazarene. 34:51.240 --> 34:51.720 Okay. 34:51.940 --> 34:52.660 Go ahead. 34:54.380 --> 35:00.240 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared 35:00.240 --> 35:01.700 sumptuously every day. 35:02.140 --> 35:06.700 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate full 35:06.700 --> 35:11.000 of sores and desiring to be fed with the crumbs, which fell from the rich man's 35:11.000 --> 35:11.440 table. 35:12.300 --> 35:14.700 Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. 35:15.360 --> 35:19.620 And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into 35:19.620 --> 35:20.640 Abraham's bosom. 35:21.080 --> 35:23.680 The rich man also died and was buried. 35:24.700 --> 35:30.940 And in hell, he lift up his eyes being in torments and sees Abraham afar off and 35:30.940 --> 35:32.080 Lazarus in his bosom. 35:32.260 --> 35:32.400 Okay. 35:32.580 --> 35:36.000 Now this is where the Christians come and quote that you go off to heaven. 35:36.060 --> 35:36.780 He's been good. 35:36.860 --> 35:38.480 And you go up to hell if you've been bad. 35:38.500 --> 35:38.760 Right. 35:38.840 --> 35:42.500 And you said, well, we'll know that that's, you know, that's really not, 35:42.680 --> 35:42.960 not true. 35:43.380 --> 35:44.160 This is a parable. 35:44.280 --> 35:45.340 No, it was not a parable. 35:45.480 --> 35:45.760 Okay. 35:46.460 --> 35:46.760 All right. 35:46.780 --> 35:48.000 Hold your place right here. 35:48.940 --> 35:53.260 And let's go over to John the third chapter and pick it up at John chapter 35:53.260 --> 35:54.780 three, verse 13. 35:54.860 --> 35:55.240 Okay. 35:55.340 --> 35:58.780 Let's go ahead and put, let's go ahead and put the poor man in heaven. 35:59.260 --> 36:01.000 John three and 13. 36:19.870 --> 36:22.210 And no man has ascended up to heaven. 36:22.430 --> 36:22.630 Okay. 36:23.730 --> 36:28.070 No man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, 36:28.290 --> 36:31.890 even the son of man, which is in heaven, how can, how in the world can he be in 36:31.890 --> 36:32.130 heaven? 36:32.250 --> 36:33.770 And he's sitting back here talking to Nicodemus. 36:33.950 --> 36:35.470 So he's speaking prophetically. 36:35.770 --> 36:36.210 Okay. 36:36.630 --> 36:40.450 But he says, no man has ascended up to heaven. 36:40.650 --> 36:43.410 So that took care of Enoch and that took care of Elijah. 36:43.610 --> 36:44.050 Okay. 36:44.150 --> 36:46.350 And that also takes care of your poor man. 36:47.210 --> 36:49.210 No man has ascended up to heaven. 36:49.350 --> 36:51.930 How about those who have descended into hell? 36:52.490 --> 36:54.850 Well, let's go to revelations and let's pick that up. 36:55.750 --> 37:00.890 Go over to revelations and pick it up at revelations chapter 19 and pick it up at 37:00.890 --> 37:01.390 verse 20. 37:20.480 --> 37:24.980 And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before 37:24.980 --> 37:30.320 him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them 37:30.320 --> 37:31.460 that worshiped his image. 37:32.040 --> 37:35.680 These boys were cast alive in a lake of fire, burning with brimstone. 37:35.680 --> 37:36.040 Okay. 37:36.120 --> 37:36.520 All right. 37:36.560 --> 37:38.660 So we just threw them over in the lake of fire. 37:38.660 --> 37:39.880 With the rich man. 37:39.980 --> 37:44.740 So let's go over here and read revelations chapter 20 and pick it up at verse 10. 37:53.440 --> 37:57.060 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, 37:57.600 --> 38:02.580 where the beast and the false prophet are and the rich man, where the beast and the 38:02.580 --> 38:08.400 false prophet are and the wealthy and the beast and the false prophet are and shall 38:08.400 --> 38:10.940 be tormented day and night forever and ever. 38:11.160 --> 38:11.380 Okay. 38:11.420 --> 38:13.780 And then we have three entities over here in the lake of fire. 38:13.920 --> 38:19.760 Where the rich man, where the rich man, let's go back to Luke chapter 16, 38:20.400 --> 38:22.640 Luke chapter 16. 38:23.480 --> 38:27.240 Everybody missed the, you know, the, the nation, 68% of the world 38:27.240 --> 38:29.700 population, four out of six, okay. 38:30.340 --> 38:35.060 Missed what Yahshua was talking about because they were so eager to do away with 38:35.060 --> 38:36.220 the Hebraic culture. 38:36.320 --> 38:36.980 So eager. 38:37.240 --> 38:43.280 And you know, it is, it is, you know, the Gnostics took, I mean, created 38:43.280 --> 38:47.920 opportunities, literally created opportunities, found some opportunities to 38:47.920 --> 38:52.320 try to paint a picture that the law no longer exists. 38:52.860 --> 38:53.760 Go ahead. 38:55.140 --> 38:59.060 And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into 38:59.060 --> 38:59.980 Abraham's bosom. 39:00.220 --> 39:02.820 The rich man also died and was buried. 39:03.100 --> 39:09.300 And in hell, he lift up his eyes being in torment, sees Abraham afar off and Lazarus 39:09.300 --> 39:09.960 in his bosom. 39:10.040 --> 39:10.380 That's right. 39:10.720 --> 39:15.300 And he cried and said, father, Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus 39:15.300 --> 39:19.920 that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am 39:19.920 --> 39:22.140 tormented in this flame. 39:22.860 --> 39:25.540 Like a little bit of water going to satisfy that, right? 39:25.600 --> 39:26.820 I mean, just look at this now. 39:27.660 --> 39:32.320 But Abraham said, son, remember that you and your lifetime receive as your good 39:32.320 --> 39:35.560 things and likewise Lazarus evil things. 39:36.180 --> 39:40.140 But now he is comforted and you are tormented. 39:40.960 --> 39:47.160 And beside all this, between us and you, there's a great gulf fixed so that they 39:47.160 --> 39:49.720 which would pass from hence to you cannot. 39:50.300 --> 39:53.620 Neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. 39:54.180 --> 39:58.800 Then he said, I pray you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my 39:58.800 --> 39:59.960 father's house. 40:00.580 --> 40:04.580 For I have five brethren that he may testify unto them. 40:05.100 --> 40:08.260 Least they also come into this place of torment. 40:08.320 --> 40:09.120 Go ahead, Yishmael. 40:09.440 --> 40:14.140 Abraham said unto him, they have Moshe and the prophets. 40:14.540 --> 40:16.200 Let them hear them. 40:16.420 --> 40:17.640 Read 29 again. 40:17.740 --> 40:23.280 And Abraham said unto him, they have Moses and the prophets. 40:23.760 --> 40:26.420 They have Moses and the prophets. 40:26.820 --> 40:30.460 Remember in the book of Isaiah, the spirit of Elohim said, seal the law 40:30.460 --> 40:31.880 amongst my disciples. 40:32.580 --> 40:37.220 Then he says to the law and to the testimony, the testimony of the prophets, 40:37.420 --> 40:39.840 to the law and to the prophets. 40:39.960 --> 40:45.300 If they don't speak according to the law and the prophets, there is no truth in 40:45.300 --> 40:45.720 them. 40:46.540 --> 40:53.460 Yahshua is bringing everybody back, everybody back to the basic foundation of 40:53.460 --> 40:53.960 the truth. 40:53.980 --> 40:56.020 And that's the law and the prophets. 40:56.020 --> 40:59.540 And he said, nigh, father Abraham. 41:00.000 --> 41:04.040 But if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 41:04.680 --> 41:11.000 And he said unto him, if they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they 41:11.000 --> 41:11.860 be persuaded. 41:12.200 --> 41:14.540 The one rose from the dead. 41:15.540 --> 41:21.360 If they don't hear Moses and they do not hear the prophets, neither will they be 41:21.360 --> 41:21.880 persuaded. 41:21.980 --> 41:26.040 Although one rose from the dead, the moral of the story, brothers and 41:26.040 --> 41:28.360 sisters, is that you've got to what? 41:29.400 --> 41:30.580 Keep the law. 41:31.500 --> 41:40.140 You have got to have your spiritual foundation rooted in the law and the 41:40.140 --> 41:40.780 prophets. 41:41.000 --> 41:42.900 There's nothing new in the New Testament. 41:43.200 --> 41:45.280 That is Christian rhetoric. 41:46.000 --> 41:46.160 Okay. 41:46.400 --> 41:47.020 All right. 41:47.040 --> 41:48.980 Let's go to Acts chapter 2. 41:49.220 --> 41:53.240 Now, these are the things that Yahshua said. 41:53.420 --> 41:53.560 Okay. 41:53.680 --> 41:59.180 Let's go ahead and pick it up at Matthew chapter 5. 42:00.540 --> 42:02.140 Go ahead and pick it up at verse 17. 42:06.030 --> 42:07.190 Matthew chapter 5. 42:07.230 --> 42:08.450 And let's pick it up at verse 17. 42:25.240 --> 42:27.800 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. 42:27.800 --> 42:30.620 Don't think that I've come to destroy the law or the prophets. 42:30.860 --> 42:31.240 Go ahead. 42:31.720 --> 42:35.040 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. 42:35.040 --> 42:38.780 I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. 42:39.000 --> 42:41.260 And he's come to fulfill the prophets, right? 42:41.900 --> 42:46.680 The prophecy speaks of two advents, his first coming and his second coming, 42:46.960 --> 42:47.200 right? 42:47.660 --> 42:52.140 Yahshua came to fulfill his first advent, his first coming. 42:52.400 --> 42:53.820 And he did that, right? 42:54.440 --> 43:00.220 But we are left with the prophetic fulfillment of his second advent that has 43:00.220 --> 43:01.440 yet to be fulfilled. 43:01.980 --> 43:02.780 Go ahead. 43:03.520 --> 43:09.960 For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jolt or one tittle, 43:10.400 --> 43:14.200 shall a no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 43:14.580 --> 43:15.720 To all be fulfilled. 43:16.060 --> 43:17.280 To all be fulfilled. 43:17.740 --> 43:25.160 The prophecies speaks of a theocratic kingdom that has not yet been fulfilled. 43:25.480 --> 43:31.520 The prophecy speaks of Yahshua reigning on his father's throne, David, that is yet to 43:31.520 --> 43:32.160 be fulfilled. 43:32.160 --> 43:33.260 Go ahead. 43:34.220 --> 43:39.040 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach 43:39.040 --> 43:43.040 men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. 43:43.620 --> 43:48.900 But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the 43:48.900 --> 43:49.580 kingdom of heaven. 43:49.680 --> 43:50.080 All right. 43:50.180 --> 43:50.560 Okay. 43:50.660 --> 43:52.460 Now let's go ahead and springboard. 43:52.640 --> 43:55.140 Let's go ahead and springboard in the New Testament, right? 43:55.280 --> 43:57.120 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is the Old Testament. 43:57.180 --> 43:58.960 So let's go ahead and go into the New Testament. 43:59.040 --> 44:03.060 Let's go to the book of Acts and let's pick it up at Acts chapter two, 44:03.300 --> 44:07.720 verse one through 15, Acts chapter two, verse one through 15. 44:32.870 --> 44:38.210 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, there were all with one accord in 44:38.210 --> 44:38.990 one place. 44:40.050 --> 44:42.510 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven. 44:42.630 --> 44:47.690 And my question is why you have 120 people, you know, on the day of Pentecost, 44:47.690 --> 44:48.990 all in one place. 44:48.990 --> 44:53.270 And all of these are disciples on the day of Pentecost, right? 44:53.570 --> 44:55.330 Which is what we're going to be having this evening. 44:55.530 --> 44:55.750 Okay. 44:55.890 --> 44:59.210 And all of us are going to be in one place on one accord. 44:59.850 --> 45:00.290 Okay. 45:01.150 --> 45:06.370 Now, how many Christians, how many Christian bodies will be keeping will be 45:06.370 --> 45:08.270 keeping Pentecost this evening? 45:08.470 --> 45:08.650 Okay. 45:08.970 --> 45:09.730 Y'all tell me one. 45:12.630 --> 45:13.930 Tell me one. 45:14.510 --> 45:15.470 You got one, brother? 45:16.610 --> 45:17.650 You don't have one? 45:18.410 --> 45:19.530 Can you make up one for me? 45:21.330 --> 45:21.810 Okay. 45:21.810 --> 45:22.290 None. 45:23.050 --> 45:23.550 All right. 45:23.790 --> 45:24.830 Go ahead and finish reading. 45:25.390 --> 45:27.730 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven. 45:27.890 --> 45:33.050 Now, the point I'm bringing out is that now we have Hebrews, okay, that have been 45:33.050 --> 45:35.150 purified in the name of Yahshua. 45:35.390 --> 45:35.550 Okay. 45:35.970 --> 45:38.850 Yahshua has now ascended into heaven. 45:38.990 --> 45:39.190 Okay. 45:39.290 --> 45:41.070 He ascended to heaven 10 days ago. 45:41.430 --> 45:41.690 Okay. 45:41.690 --> 45:43.730 10 days ago, he ascended into heaven. 45:43.790 --> 45:44.090 Okay. 45:44.250 --> 45:45.990 And they're hanging around. 45:46.150 --> 45:46.490 Okay. 45:46.630 --> 45:48.010 They're observing Pentecost. 45:48.230 --> 45:48.510 Okay. 45:48.830 --> 45:49.370 Go ahead. 45:50.230 --> 45:54.870 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind. 45:54.970 --> 45:57.450 And it filled all the house where they were sitting. 45:58.010 --> 46:01.410 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire. 46:02.170 --> 46:03.550 And it set upon each of them. 46:04.170 --> 46:08.410 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other 46:08.410 --> 46:11.150 tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 46:11.150 --> 46:12.710 And we know that all of these are angels. 46:12.970 --> 46:13.530 Go ahead. 46:14.030 --> 46:15.550 And the angels spoke. 46:15.850 --> 46:16.330 Go ahead. 46:17.050 --> 46:21.970 And they were dwelling at Jerusalem, Hebrews, devout men out of every nation 46:21.970 --> 46:22.610 under heaven. 46:23.450 --> 46:27.510 Now, as this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were 46:27.510 --> 46:31.590 confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 46:31.670 --> 46:31.930 Go ahead. 46:32.390 --> 46:36.150 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, 46:36.210 --> 46:38.290 are not all these which speak Galileans? 46:38.630 --> 46:42.990 And how here we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born? 46:42.990 --> 46:43.350 Go ahead. 46:44.130 --> 46:50.490 Parthenians, Medes, Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, 46:51.170 --> 46:56.330 Cappadocia, and Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, and Egypt, 46:56.970 --> 47:01.690 and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Hebrews, 47:02.230 --> 47:08.350 and Proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the 47:08.350 --> 47:09.730 wonderful works of Elohim. 47:10.510 --> 47:14.650 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does 47:14.650 --> 47:15.310 this mean? 47:16.110 --> 47:19.770 Others mocking said, These men are all full of new wine. 47:20.450 --> 47:25.130 But Simeon standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said unto them, 47:25.310 --> 47:30.450 You men of Judea and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this note unto you and 47:30.450 --> 47:31.510 listen to my words. 47:32.010 --> 47:37.990 For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the 47:37.990 --> 47:38.270 day. 47:38.430 --> 47:38.830 Uh-huh. 47:38.970 --> 47:39.250 Okay. 47:39.330 --> 47:44.890 Now I wanted to pick that up because you have Christians who say that Yahshua and 47:44.890 --> 47:48.570 the apostles and people, they did not drink, you know, they did not drink 47:48.570 --> 47:49.670 fermented wine. 47:49.830 --> 47:51.830 They drink unfermented wine. 47:51.990 --> 47:52.150 Okay. 47:52.230 --> 47:53.910 And wine is wine in the scriptures. 47:54.190 --> 47:54.450 Okay. 47:55.310 --> 48:00.490 You know, and that is a wine of intoxicants, if you will, or the ability 48:00.490 --> 48:01.950 to intoxicate. 48:02.510 --> 48:08.990 So here we have the term new wine being used, which would suggest new wine is 48:08.990 --> 48:10.310 basically grape juice. 48:10.370 --> 48:10.670 Okay. 48:11.070 --> 48:16.350 Now, uh, one of the ways that you can, um, um, one of the ways that you can 48:16.350 --> 48:21.810 refute and rebut that scripturally is if new wine is grape juice, then why do we 48:21.810 --> 48:27.210 have here in verse 13, the people saying others mocking said, these men are full of 48:27.210 --> 48:28.230 new wine. 48:28.770 --> 48:35.030 Then Simeon comes back and says, uh, Simeon standing up with the 11 lifted 48:35.030 --> 48:38.870 up his voice and said unto them, you men of Judea and all you that dwell at 48:38.870 --> 48:43.410 Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words for these are not 48:43.410 --> 48:44.090 drunken. 48:44.190 --> 48:47.110 As you I've never, ever seen anybody get drunken off grape juice. 48:47.270 --> 48:48.790 Never ever seen that before. 48:49.390 --> 48:49.910 Okay. 48:50.150 --> 48:50.550 All right. 48:50.550 --> 48:56.370 But again, that's people in that that's people in their Christian state. 48:56.490 --> 48:56.810 All right. 48:56.810 --> 48:58.270 And we're going to, and we're going to deal with that. 48:58.290 --> 48:58.610 Right. 48:58.990 --> 49:04.430 Um, there are doctrines that does not make any sense whatsoever, and you can't even 49:04.430 --> 49:05.650 make it make sense. 49:06.630 --> 49:07.630 All right. 49:09.630 --> 49:10.570 Go ahead and pick it up. 49:10.630 --> 49:11.530 Acts chapter four. 49:11.930 --> 49:17.070 So the very first thing that we see, um, those which are associated with 49:17.070 --> 49:19.470 Nazarenes, they are observing, okay. 49:19.770 --> 49:20.610 Shavuot, right? 49:20.870 --> 49:22.110 They're observing Pentecost. 49:22.250 --> 49:23.710 That's the first thing that we see. 49:23.930 --> 49:24.450 Okay. 49:24.750 --> 49:25.210 All right. 49:25.290 --> 49:27.290 So that's your highlight number one. 49:27.390 --> 49:31.930 And what you do is this, you just ask, uh, your friends, your associates, 49:31.950 --> 49:35.630 your devout, uh, you know, Christians and pastors and religious leaders, 49:35.810 --> 49:39.650 you know, explain to me the events of the first 30 years of the church. 49:40.330 --> 49:43.910 Explain these events has taken place the first 30 years of the church, right? 49:44.190 --> 49:49.690 Event number one, why do we have 120 some odd people together on Pentecost? 49:49.890 --> 49:50.170 Why? 49:50.530 --> 49:51.270 That's the question. 49:51.730 --> 49:52.030 Okay. 49:52.250 --> 49:52.690 All right. 49:52.730 --> 49:54.970 Now let's move on to number two. 49:55.170 --> 49:57.050 Acts four, 10 through 12. 50:16.370 --> 50:23.390 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of 50:23.390 --> 50:27.970 Yahshua, the anointed of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom Elohim raised 50:27.970 --> 50:32.010 from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you hold. 50:32.130 --> 50:32.450 Go ahead. 50:32.770 --> 50:38.230 This is a stone which was set at nought of you builders, which has become the head of 50:38.230 --> 50:38.670 the corner. 50:39.290 --> 50:41.790 Neither is there salvation in any other. 50:41.790 --> 50:44.270 Neither is there salvation in any other name. 50:44.410 --> 50:44.790 Go ahead. 50:45.070 --> 50:50.070 Well, there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be 50:50.070 --> 50:50.370 saved. 50:50.630 --> 50:50.810 Okay. 50:50.870 --> 50:53.170 Acts 26, 12 through 15. 50:53.710 --> 50:55.950 Acts 26, 12 through 15. 50:58.770 --> 51:03.450 We see that in the prophecies, in the book of Zechariah, we have the 51:03.450 --> 51:07.390 brothers coming out of Babylonian captivity and one Yahshua. 51:07.830 --> 51:07.950 Okay. 51:08.490 --> 51:13.370 And he became the symbol of the promised Messiah, right? 51:13.750 --> 51:16.790 Called the branch and called by name Yahshua. 51:17.030 --> 51:20.970 So this was the prophetic statement that was made as it relates to the Messiah's 51:20.970 --> 51:21.330 name. 51:21.470 --> 51:27.310 This is the reason why the angel Gabriel told Mary she had to name him Yahshua, 51:27.550 --> 51:28.570 Yah's salvation. 51:28.930 --> 51:34.150 That name had to be given unto him at birth because the angel Gabriel said it's 51:34.150 --> 51:35.230 already been spoken. 51:35.830 --> 51:36.690 Go ahead and read. 51:39.250 --> 51:43.250 Whereupon, as I went to Damascus with authority, I mean, you know, people say, 51:43.310 --> 51:44.570 you know, well, what's in a name? 51:44.650 --> 51:45.770 You know, y'all call him Yahshua. 51:45.930 --> 51:46.710 I'll call him Jesus, right? 51:46.750 --> 51:48.290 Well, then why not baptizing Leroy? 51:49.090 --> 51:50.130 I mean, what's in a name? 51:51.550 --> 51:58.130 What's in a name are instructions, instructions that those within the divine 51:58.130 --> 51:59.470 order gave. 51:59.650 --> 51:59.810 Okay. 51:59.890 --> 52:04.870 The most I gave specific instructions on what should be done in this name. 52:04.950 --> 52:05.570 Go ahead. 52:06.370 --> 52:06.810 Why? 52:06.930 --> 52:08.870 Because this is how the most I received his glory. 52:09.750 --> 52:11.350 Yahshua, Yah saves. 52:11.870 --> 52:12.370 Go ahead. 52:12.650 --> 52:13.730 Yes, sir. 52:16.310 --> 52:17.450 Hold on one second. 52:17.530 --> 52:18.910 We got we got a mic here. 52:21.390 --> 52:25.630 The Messiah said, if one will come in his own name, him you will receive. 52:26.630 --> 52:27.190 Absolutely. 52:27.530 --> 52:27.770 Right. 52:27.930 --> 52:32.370 And so we had somebody came in the name of Jesus and everybody received that. 52:32.430 --> 52:32.670 Right. 52:33.050 --> 52:33.370 Yeah. 52:35.710 --> 52:36.270 Yeah. 52:38.370 --> 52:38.930 Okay. 52:39.150 --> 52:41.390 Acts chapter 26 and verse 12. 52:43.030 --> 52:48.030 Whereupon, as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief 52:48.030 --> 52:53.990 priest, at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven above the 52:53.990 --> 52:58.470 brightness of the sun shining round about me and then which journey with me. 52:59.250 --> 53:03.310 And when we all were fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me and 53:03.310 --> 53:08.610 saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? 53:08.770 --> 53:09.430 And what tongue? 53:09.650 --> 53:10.930 In the Hebrew tongue. 53:11.030 --> 53:11.450 Go ahead. 53:12.050 --> 53:14.510 It is hard for you to kick against the pricks. 53:14.510 --> 53:17.090 And I said, who are you, master? 53:17.610 --> 53:20.690 And he said, I am not sure whom you persecute. 53:20.830 --> 53:23.550 So then let me ask you something then, Yishmael. 53:23.790 --> 53:29.090 So then he spoke to him in the in the Greek tongue, in the in the in the in the 53:29.090 --> 53:29.790 Latin tongue. 53:30.390 --> 53:33.230 He says in the Hebrew, the Hebraic tongue. 53:33.290 --> 53:34.790 Then why do you have Jesus here? 53:36.230 --> 53:36.530 Huh? 53:38.030 --> 53:38.330 Jesus. 53:38.550 --> 53:40.010 There's no J in Hebrew. 53:40.970 --> 53:42.610 There's no J in Hebrew. 53:42.610 --> 53:43.070 Right. 53:43.630 --> 53:48.650 And in the 16th century, when they created a J, right in this period, they were 53:48.650 --> 53:52.190 calling they had a name, Isis, which was a pagan god of healing. 53:52.570 --> 53:56.150 OK, so it's impossible to say Jesus in a Hebrew tongue. 53:56.210 --> 53:56.930 Right now. 53:56.950 --> 53:58.410 How many of you watch passion? 54:00.150 --> 54:00.910 Passion, right? 54:00.930 --> 54:05.790 They clearly said Yeshua, but at the bottom, OK, they had Jesus. 54:06.710 --> 54:08.070 OK, all right. 54:08.970 --> 54:16.630 The apostles, the apostles delivered, OK, unto the people a Hebraic name by 54:16.630 --> 54:17.530 commandment. 54:17.630 --> 54:21.310 And when you go back and you look at your secular sources, your historians, 54:21.930 --> 54:23.410 your theologians, right? 54:23.530 --> 54:28.010 Your scholars will tell you Yeshua was never called Jesus in the day, 54:28.290 --> 54:31.530 a day in his life was never called Jesus. 54:31.730 --> 54:32.210 OK. 54:32.350 --> 54:32.910 All right. 54:32.950 --> 54:33.790 Let's go ahead and pick it up. 54:33.870 --> 54:35.770 Acts 10, 24 through 28. 54:37.150 --> 54:42.270 Jesus was a name that was created by the Gnostics in order to appeal to the Greeks, 54:42.290 --> 54:48.930 OK, in order to convert these people under a name that they would be able to be under 54:48.930 --> 54:53.210 a name that they would be able to be familiar with and accept. 54:53.770 --> 54:54.050 OK. 54:54.490 --> 54:54.910 All right. 54:55.050 --> 54:57.290 Acts chapter 10, 24 through 28. 55:04.230 --> 55:09.890 And the more after they entered into Syria and Cornelius waited for them and had 55:09.890 --> 55:12.390 called together his kinsmen and their friends. 55:12.650 --> 55:17.510 And as Simeon was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and 55:17.510 --> 55:18.090 worshiped him. 55:18.450 --> 55:21.210 And Simeon took him up saying, stand up. 55:21.330 --> 55:23.510 I myself also am a man. 55:23.530 --> 55:23.950 That's right. 55:24.170 --> 55:28.070 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many that will come together. 55:28.250 --> 55:34.070 And he said unto them, you know how that it is unlawful that it is an unlawful 55:34.070 --> 55:38.610 thing for a man that is a Hebrew to keep company or come unto one of another 55:38.610 --> 55:38.970 nation. 55:39.010 --> 55:43.730 Why would Simeon be concerned with Hebraic law? 55:44.430 --> 55:48.710 Why would he be concerned about going into a Gentile's house, right? 55:49.370 --> 55:55.530 A house that typically would be classified by our ancestors as being unclean because 55:55.530 --> 55:59.410 the people were uncircumcised, you know, till they probably had, 55:59.490 --> 56:02.210 you know, pig feet in the refrigerator or something like that. 56:02.590 --> 56:04.910 You know, why would he make this statement? 56:04.910 --> 56:10.230 You know that it's unlawful for he who was a Jew, right, to come unto or keep company 56:10.230 --> 56:11.670 of one of another nation. 56:12.710 --> 56:13.010 Why? 56:14.010 --> 56:17.930 Nazarenes, as our secular information stated, right, Nazarenes, right, 56:17.990 --> 56:19.570 continue to keep the synodic covenant. 56:19.930 --> 56:23.590 The only thing that changed with them was they put down sacrifices. 56:24.370 --> 56:25.330 But let's see. 56:26.390 --> 56:29.950 Let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts chapter 11, 1 through 4. 56:30.650 --> 56:34.690 Let's see if this was just Simeon or if there were any other apostles. 56:35.230 --> 56:36.790 I mean, it's very interesting to me. 56:37.030 --> 56:41.170 You spend three and a half years with Yahshua and Yahshua doesn't communicate 56:41.170 --> 56:46.110 any of these things to you about, well, you know, no, you can go ahead and 56:46.110 --> 56:47.370 eat anything you like. 56:48.030 --> 56:51.670 Well, you know, what we're going to do after our into heaven, we're going to go 56:51.670 --> 56:53.430 ahead and change that Sabbath day to Sunday. 56:54.750 --> 56:57.870 You know, as a matter of fact, you can, you know, you can defile 56:57.870 --> 56:58.370 yourself. 56:58.510 --> 56:59.230 It doesn't matter. 56:59.370 --> 57:03.130 You get all that stuff because after I send to heaven, I'm going to do away with 57:03.130 --> 57:03.450 all that. 57:03.810 --> 57:05.530 None of that stuff was ever communicated. 57:05.830 --> 57:10.370 The only thing Yahshua communicated during the three and a half years that he was 57:11.090 --> 57:15.430 evangelizing, you know, he said, worship the father, believe on me, 57:15.890 --> 57:18.790 keep the commandments, love your brother. 57:19.310 --> 57:20.610 That's all he said. 57:25.660 --> 57:31.100 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also 57:31.100 --> 57:32.740 received the word of Elohim. 57:33.380 --> 57:38.280 And when Simeon was come up to Jerusalem, they, there were other circumcision 57:38.280 --> 57:39.680 contended with him. 57:39.720 --> 57:45.060 And when Simeon was come up to Jerusalem, they, there were other circumcision, 57:45.300 --> 57:52.400 uh, circumcision contended with him saying, you went in to men uncircumcised 57:52.400 --> 57:55.200 and did eat with them. 57:55.880 --> 57:59.700 They had a big issue with this, a big issue. 57:59.820 --> 58:00.260 Why? 58:00.440 --> 58:03.620 Because this was not Hebraic culture. 58:03.720 --> 58:08.040 This was not a part of, uh, uh, uh, this was not clean. 58:08.220 --> 58:10.020 This was an act of uncleanliness. 58:10.500 --> 58:14.740 And the apostles expressed a concern to Simeon about this action. 58:15.260 --> 58:15.660 Okay. 58:16.180 --> 58:17.280 Keep your mind on that. 58:17.500 --> 58:19.860 Go over to Acts chapter 12, one through four. 58:34.350 --> 58:39.230 Now about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vex certain 58:39.230 --> 58:40.090 of the assembly. 58:40.530 --> 58:44.950 And he called and he killed Yaakov, the brother of Yohanan with the sword. 58:45.310 --> 58:50.470 And because he saw it pleased the Hebrews, he proceeded further to take Simeon also. 58:51.130 --> 58:53.170 Then were the days of unleavened bread. 58:53.370 --> 58:53.450 Okay. 58:53.550 --> 58:56.890 Now Luke is writing to Theophilus and he's saying to Theophilus, he says, 58:56.970 --> 59:00.310 Theophilus, when this took place, right, you know, then were the days of 59:00.310 --> 59:00.950 unleavened bread. 59:01.750 --> 59:03.310 These were the days of unleavened bread. 59:03.330 --> 59:05.370 Right now, Theophilus, a Christian. 59:05.530 --> 59:05.850 Okay. 59:05.890 --> 59:09.190 And we, we got commentary on these Christians and so forth. 59:09.210 --> 59:09.450 Right. 59:09.790 --> 59:13.030 Why would Theophilus even know, be concerned about an unleavened bread? 59:13.490 --> 59:19.130 I tell you what, you go and you ask the average Christian today about an 59:19.130 --> 59:19.810 unleavened bread. 59:21.790 --> 59:25.350 Ask him, you know, you know, have you ever observed unleavened bread? 59:25.690 --> 59:28.010 Let me tell you something, the average Christian will tell you, I don't know what 59:28.010 --> 59:28.470 that is. 59:30.570 --> 59:30.970 Okay. 59:30.970 --> 59:31.930 Go ahead and read. 59:33.270 --> 59:37.730 And when he had, and when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison and 59:37.730 --> 59:42.950 delivered him to four Caturians of soldiers to keep him, intending after the 59:42.950 --> 59:45.110 Passover to bring him forth to the people. 59:45.130 --> 59:48.850 Until after Passover to bring him forth to the people. 59:49.050 --> 59:49.310 Okay. 59:49.450 --> 59:50.950 Passover and unleavened bread. 59:51.230 --> 59:51.570 All right. 59:51.970 --> 59:52.730 Let's go ahead and pick it up. 59:52.750 --> 59:55.850 Acts 13, 42 through 45. 59:56.570 --> 59:58.550 Why would Luke write to Theophilus? 59:58.570 --> 59:58.910 Okay. 59:58.970 --> 01:00:01.130 In a manner that Theophilus could not understand. 01:00:01.270 --> 01:00:03.890 Theophilus understood Passover, Pesach. 01:00:04.110 --> 01:00:06.210 He also understood unleavened bread. 01:00:06.390 --> 01:00:06.650 Why? 01:00:06.970 --> 01:00:09.250 Because they were practicing it. 01:00:11.190 --> 01:00:14.690 Acts chapter 12 and go ahead and pick it up at verse one through, uh, well, 01:00:14.710 --> 01:00:15.390 we just read that. 01:00:15.470 --> 01:00:21.010 Go ahead and pick it up at, um, Acts chapter 13, Acts 13, 42 through 45. 01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:29.100 And when the Hebrews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles, but saw that 01:00:29.100 --> 01:00:31.800 these words might be preached to them the next Shabbat. 01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:32.260 Uh-huh. 01:00:32.580 --> 01:00:35.900 Now, when the congregation was broken up, many of the Hebrews and religious 01:00:35.900 --> 01:00:41.700 proselytes followed Saul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to 01:00:41.700 --> 01:00:43.300 continue in the grace of Elohim. 01:00:43.500 --> 01:00:43.820 Watch this. 01:00:44.200 --> 01:00:48.400 And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of 01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:48.840 Elohim. 01:00:48.940 --> 01:00:49.180 Okay. 01:00:49.200 --> 01:00:52.140 The next Sabbath day, they came together, right? 01:00:52.200 --> 01:00:54.360 The next Sabbath day, they weren't meeting on Sunday. 01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:58.880 In order to hear the word of Elohim, they knew that they need to show up on the 01:00:58.880 --> 01:00:59.700 Sabbath day. 01:00:59.820 --> 01:01:05.460 On the Sabbath day, the ecclesiastical units that were established, okay, 01:01:05.780 --> 01:01:13.260 were overseen by Hebrews, apostles, mainly who were the circuit overseers and 01:01:13.260 --> 01:01:13.880 disciples. 01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:14.400 Okay. 01:01:14.560 --> 01:01:20.000 Uh, that may have been placed in a, uh, in an overseeing, uh, position, 01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:23.900 but they knew that the doors open on the Sabbath day. 01:01:24.220 --> 01:01:29.200 And the Gentiles, if the Gentiles, if the Indo-Eurasiatic people and any 01:01:29.200 --> 01:01:33.460 other nationality or ethnic group were going to hear the words of Elohim, 01:01:33.780 --> 01:01:37.320 they would have to show up on the Sabbath day, not Sunday. 01:01:38.260 --> 01:01:41.260 You can sit around somebody's synagogue on Sunday. 01:01:41.380 --> 01:01:44.980 You'll just be sitting on a doorstep because the doors did not open on 01:01:44.980 --> 01:01:48.220 venerable day and open up on the Shabbat. 01:01:48.520 --> 01:01:49.040 Yes, ma'am. 01:01:51.160 --> 01:01:52.080 Excuse me. 01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:53.400 Okay. 01:01:53.560 --> 01:01:54.500 So you just teasing me. 01:01:55.540 --> 01:01:56.180 Okay. 01:01:56.640 --> 01:01:57.240 All right. 01:01:58.580 --> 01:02:00.060 We have a question back here. 01:02:09.430 --> 01:02:14.770 You mentioned about the order in the church among the apostles. 01:02:14.950 --> 01:02:20.830 You said there was someone who's established the church and then he set 01:02:20.830 --> 01:02:21.670 someone else up. 01:02:21.690 --> 01:02:23.750 In essence, there was a definable order. 01:02:24.470 --> 01:02:26.450 How is that reflected in this assembly? 01:02:27.170 --> 01:02:28.150 In this assembly here? 01:02:28.570 --> 01:02:29.770 In this assembly? 01:02:30.130 --> 01:02:34.910 Well, in this assembly, I'm the overseer and I have an assistant overseer, 01:02:34.990 --> 01:02:40.710 if you will, or someone to take, um, my stead in the position, um, 01:02:41.070 --> 01:02:46.090 um, or in, in, in, in a time where I'm not able to perform. 01:02:49.110 --> 01:02:51.030 Is that, is that, is that your question? 01:02:51.590 --> 01:02:51.910 Okay. 01:02:52.310 --> 01:02:52.470 Yeah. 01:02:53.770 --> 01:02:54.210 Okay. 01:02:54.210 --> 01:02:54.790 All right. 01:02:54.870 --> 01:02:58.830 Go ahead and pick it up at, uh, Acts chapter 13 and let's pick it up 42 01:02:58.830 --> 01:02:59.810 through 45. 01:03:02.130 --> 01:03:02.570 Okay. 01:03:02.590 --> 01:03:03.390 We just read that. 01:03:03.430 --> 01:03:03.630 All right. 01:03:03.670 --> 01:03:06.070 Go over to Acts chapter 15, 18 through 22. 01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:34.780 No, not to Elohim, all his works from the beginning of the world. 01:03:36.300 --> 01:03:41.180 Wherefore, my sentence is that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles 01:03:41.180 --> 01:03:46.980 are turned to Elohim, but that we write unto them that they abstain from pollution 01:03:46.980 --> 01:03:51.380 of idols that's found in the law code that they abstain from pollutions of idols. 01:03:51.580 --> 01:03:51.960 Go ahead. 01:03:52.180 --> 01:03:55.860 And from fornication and from fornication, that's also in the law code. 01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:00.080 The law states that if you lie down with a woman, you should endow her to be your 01:04:00.080 --> 01:04:00.460 wife. 01:04:00.500 --> 01:04:00.940 Go ahead. 01:04:01.040 --> 01:04:04.100 And from things strangled and from things strangled. 01:04:04.200 --> 01:04:04.380 Okay. 01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:07.600 The law states that you should not eat any animals that dive itself. 01:04:07.600 --> 01:04:08.200 Go ahead. 01:04:08.380 --> 01:04:12.120 And from blood and there should not be any bloodletting or blood consumption. 01:04:12.140 --> 01:04:15.240 These four things are found written in the law code. 01:04:15.300 --> 01:04:15.580 Okay. 01:04:16.020 --> 01:04:20.780 And this is what the brother of Yeshua James, the overseer of the assembly in 01:04:20.780 --> 01:04:23.400 Jerusalem stated to the apostles. 01:04:23.600 --> 01:04:23.920 Okay. 01:04:24.020 --> 01:04:29.280 At this council, as it relates to the Gentiles coming into the new covenant 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:30.820 assemblies to worship. 01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:36.520 What are we going to do about these people who are coming into the assembly whom the 01:04:36.520 --> 01:04:42.140 Pharisees have raised up a good case that they need to be circumcised and keep all 01:04:42.140 --> 01:04:43.100 of the law of Moses. 01:04:43.300 --> 01:04:44.500 So what do we do? 01:04:44.860 --> 01:04:49.540 And the law states that a Gentile or a stranger must be circumcised. 01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:54.880 If he has been bought with your money or born in your house, this is when he must 01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:55.920 be circumcised. 01:04:56.040 --> 01:04:57.980 So here we have Gentiles. 01:04:58.000 --> 01:04:58.380 Okay. 01:04:58.380 --> 01:05:02.760 Not born in a house or bought with our money, specifically dealing with the 01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:06.140 assemblies that are being established in Antioch and Asia minor. 01:05:06.340 --> 01:05:10.700 What are we going to do with these people who are designed to come into a new 01:05:10.700 --> 01:05:11.540 covenant assembly? 01:05:11.860 --> 01:05:14.680 And this is what they will agree upon. 01:05:14.900 --> 01:05:16.220 Go ahead and pick up a verse 21. 01:05:17.460 --> 01:05:23.580 For Moshe of old time has in every city, them that teach him being read in the 01:05:23.580 --> 01:05:25.300 synagogues every Shabbat day. 01:05:25.300 --> 01:05:26.420 Mm hmm. 01:05:26.900 --> 01:05:27.400 Go ahead. 01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:33.460 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole assembly to send chosen men 01:05:33.460 --> 01:05:38.480 of their own company to Antioch with Saul and Barnabas, namely Judah, surname 01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:42.160 Barthabas and Silas chief men among the brethren. 01:05:42.340 --> 01:05:42.600 Okay. 01:05:43.040 --> 01:05:44.940 For Moses of old time. 01:05:45.200 --> 01:05:45.560 All right. 01:05:45.640 --> 01:05:50.040 Moses of old time, not Moses of today, your uncle Moses, your cousin, 01:05:50.120 --> 01:05:51.980 Moses, Moses, the drunk, right? 01:05:51.980 --> 01:05:58.960 We're talking about Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him being 01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:02.800 read in the synagogues every Shabbat day. 01:06:03.180 --> 01:06:08.780 So when this was communicated, we then have Luke writing, then this 01:06:08.780 --> 01:06:15.860 pleased the apostles and elders with the whole assembly to send chosen men of their 01:06:15.860 --> 01:06:19.200 own company to Antioch with Saul and Barnabas. 01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:19.860 Okay. 01:06:20.260 --> 01:06:24.420 Let's pick it up at acts chapter 16, 11 through 13. 01:06:25.120 --> 01:06:26.480 So what are we saying? 01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:33.520 Again, we see laws that are still being adhered to that is being extracted. 01:06:33.520 --> 01:06:33.940 Okay. 01:06:33.980 --> 01:06:39.620 Obviously from the Torah being expounded upon and people are being held accountable 01:06:39.620 --> 01:06:40.220 to it. 01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:41.340 That's number one. 01:06:41.460 --> 01:06:46.940 Number two, the rest of the laws are going to be communicated to those who are 01:06:46.940 --> 01:06:53.460 seeking to understand the will of the most high on the Sabbath day by the teachers of 01:06:53.460 --> 01:06:54.180 Moses. 01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:54.940 Right. 01:06:55.200 --> 01:06:55.600 Okay. 01:06:55.900 --> 01:06:56.440 Go ahead. 01:06:56.520 --> 01:06:57.640 Let's continue with that. 01:07:00.780 --> 01:07:06.160 Therefore, losing from choice, we came with a straight course to some of 01:07:06.160 --> 01:07:12.800 Isiah and the next day to Neapolis and from fence to Philippi, which is the chief 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:15.800 city of that part of Macedonia and a colony. 01:07:16.580 --> 01:07:19.460 And we were in that city abiding certain days. 01:07:19.580 --> 01:07:20.800 Okay, here we go. 01:07:20.820 --> 01:07:26.100 And on the Sabbath, we went out of the city by riverside where prayer was want to 01:07:26.100 --> 01:07:26.560 be made. 01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:30.580 And we sat down and spoke unto the women which resorted there. 01:07:30.660 --> 01:07:30.920 Okay. 01:07:31.020 --> 01:07:37.960 And what you're going to find in the days of old, if there were not funding for an 01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:44.300 assembly for people to meet, to hold a convocation, they generally met by 01:07:44.300 --> 01:07:49.940 riverbanks and different areas where they had a convocation on the outside. 01:07:50.520 --> 01:07:51.780 And this is exactly what we see. 01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:53.340 Read verse 11 again, please. 01:07:53.920 --> 01:07:58.940 Therefore, losing from choice, we came with a straight course to some of 01:07:58.940 --> 01:08:04.680 Isiah and the next day to Neapolis and from fence to Philippi, which is the chief 01:08:04.680 --> 01:08:07.460 city of that part of Macedonia and a colony. 01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:10.900 And we were in that city abiding certain days. 01:08:11.040 --> 01:08:16.340 And on the Sabbath, we went out of the city by riverside where prayer was want to 01:08:16.340 --> 01:08:20.180 be made, where prayer was customary on the Sabbath day. 01:08:21.020 --> 01:08:24.440 And we sat down and spoken to the women which resorted there. 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:27.960 Okay, let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts 18, one through four. 01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:33.740 What we're doing is we are seeing what the Nazarene's practices were. 01:08:34.260 --> 01:08:39.300 We're seeing what their practices were, what the Nazarene's practices were. 01:08:39.700 --> 01:08:44.240 And then we're going to expound on what the Christian's practices are. 01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:48.940 Okay, let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts 18, one through four. 01:08:49.540 --> 01:08:55.420 After these things, Saul departed from Athens and came to Corinth and found a 01:08:55.420 --> 01:09:01.480 certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy with his wife, 01:09:01.480 --> 01:09:02.000 Priscilla. 01:09:02.760 --> 01:09:07.920 Because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome and came unto 01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:08.260 them. 01:09:09.240 --> 01:09:13.280 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them in wrath. 01:09:13.980 --> 01:09:17.060 And for by their occupation, they were tent makers. 01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:22.440 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded the Jews and the 01:09:22.440 --> 01:09:22.680 Greeks. 01:09:22.700 --> 01:09:24.040 The Jews and the Greeks. 01:09:24.140 --> 01:09:27.060 It did not say the Jews and the Grecians. 01:09:27.740 --> 01:09:34.360 It specifically said the Jews and the Greeks, the Hebrews and the Europeans that 01:09:34.360 --> 01:09:39.060 were meeting in the synagogues, okay, that were practicing the old 01:09:39.060 --> 01:09:39.700 covenant. 01:09:40.300 --> 01:09:45.940 And Saul was persuading them, okay, to come under the new covenant. 01:09:46.320 --> 01:09:48.700 And this is what the Nazarene's did. 01:09:48.700 --> 01:09:49.340 Okay. 01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:51.000 All right, let's continue. 01:09:51.160 --> 01:09:53.160 Acts 18, 18 through 21. 01:09:56.630 --> 01:10:02.130 And so after this, tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the 01:10:02.130 --> 01:10:04.850 brethren and sailed thence into Syria. 01:10:05.150 --> 01:10:10.650 And with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Synchrea, 01:10:10.990 --> 01:10:11.970 for he had a vow. 01:10:12.290 --> 01:10:15.110 And he came to Ephesus and left them there. 01:10:15.110 --> 01:10:17.650 Here you have Paul and Nazarene. 01:10:18.130 --> 01:10:20.870 He shaved his head because he had a vow. 01:10:21.030 --> 01:10:22.410 This is number the sixth chapter. 01:10:22.830 --> 01:10:23.910 This is found in the Torah. 01:10:24.030 --> 01:10:25.490 This is found in the law book. 01:10:25.590 --> 01:10:25.870 Okay. 01:10:26.010 --> 01:10:31.630 So he takes a Nazarite vow, okay, separates himself unto Elohim. 01:10:31.830 --> 01:10:33.190 What's your time step on this? 01:10:34.690 --> 01:10:35.210 What? 01:10:36.410 --> 01:10:37.310 54 AD. 01:10:37.510 --> 01:10:38.410 54 AD. 01:10:38.690 --> 01:10:39.290 Okay, go ahead. 01:10:39.850 --> 01:10:42.370 And he came to Ephesus and left them there. 01:10:42.370 --> 01:10:46.350 But he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 01:10:47.070 --> 01:10:52.690 When they desired to him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not, 01:10:53.330 --> 01:10:58.470 but bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that 01:10:58.470 --> 01:10:59.430 comes in Jerusalem. 01:10:59.810 --> 01:11:03.070 But I will return again unto you if Elohim will. 01:11:03.190 --> 01:11:06.090 So here we have 12 years after the death of the Messiah. 01:11:06.610 --> 01:11:08.830 Saul is taking a Nazarite vow. 01:11:08.930 --> 01:11:10.910 Nobody forced him to take a Nazarite vow. 01:11:11.210 --> 01:11:11.530 Okay. 01:11:11.810 --> 01:11:13.310 Found in Numbers, the sixth chapter. 01:11:13.430 --> 01:11:16.050 And then he says to the assembly at Ephesus. 01:11:16.210 --> 01:11:16.450 Okay. 01:11:16.550 --> 01:11:20.710 He says, I must go to Jerusalem to keep this feast. 01:11:21.730 --> 01:11:24.930 I must go to Jerusalem to keep this feast. 01:11:25.050 --> 01:11:26.750 And Paul is a ringleader of who? 01:11:27.210 --> 01:11:29.730 Sect of the Nazarenes. 01:11:29.810 --> 01:11:30.150 Okay. 01:11:30.390 --> 01:11:33.590 Let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts 20 verse six. 01:11:34.470 --> 01:11:35.450 Acts 20. 01:11:35.630 --> 01:11:42.350 We want to have a biblical and a historical understanding of the practice, 01:11:42.790 --> 01:11:49.850 the practices of this sect, the group that's called the sect of the Nazarenes. 01:11:51.010 --> 01:11:53.510 Acts 20, and let's pick it up at six. 01:11:55.790 --> 01:11:59.630 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread. 01:11:59.630 --> 01:12:02.930 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread. 01:12:03.930 --> 01:12:08.850 Why, why would they sail away from Philippi after the days of unleavened 01:12:08.850 --> 01:12:09.190 bread? 01:12:09.550 --> 01:12:11.030 Can anybody tell me? 01:12:11.970 --> 01:12:13.970 Can anybody tell me where's my mic? 01:12:14.410 --> 01:12:14.790 Go ahead. 01:12:14.870 --> 01:12:20.430 So why would they sail away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread? 01:12:21.450 --> 01:12:22.210 Go ahead. 01:12:24.710 --> 01:12:27.310 Because it's commanded for them to keep these feast days. 01:12:27.530 --> 01:12:32.070 So they were keeping the seven days of unleavened bread outside of Jerusalem. 01:12:32.630 --> 01:12:32.730 Why? 01:12:32.850 --> 01:12:37.170 Because the Nazarenes were not under the sacrificial ordinances. 01:12:37.810 --> 01:12:41.350 But yet they continue to keep the convocations wherever they were. 01:12:42.090 --> 01:12:45.210 After the days of unleavened bread, then they sailed. 01:12:45.610 --> 01:12:45.650 Okay. 01:12:46.110 --> 01:12:46.550 All right. 01:12:46.850 --> 01:12:48.290 And what's your time stamp on this? 01:12:48.750 --> 01:12:49.630 59 AD. 01:12:49.830 --> 01:12:50.690 59 AD. 01:12:52.750 --> 01:12:56.410 All right, go ahead and pick it up at verses 13 through 16. 01:13:00.310 --> 01:13:04.750 And we went before... So here we have 26 years after the death of the Messiah. 01:13:05.290 --> 01:13:08.970 26 years keeping seven days of unleavened bread. 01:13:09.210 --> 01:13:10.730 Seven days of unleavened bread. 01:13:11.150 --> 01:13:11.810 Go ahead. 01:13:13.870 --> 01:13:17.370 And we went before to ship himself unto Assos. 01:13:17.830 --> 01:13:23.370 They're intending to take in Saul, for so had he appointed minding himself to 01:13:23.370 --> 01:13:24.050 go afoot. 01:13:24.410 --> 01:13:30.070 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mithilene. 01:13:30.610 --> 01:13:34.530 And we sailed thence and came to the next day over against Chios. 01:13:35.070 --> 01:13:39.730 And the next day we arrived at Samos and tarried at Troglion. 01:13:40.030 --> 01:13:42.170 And the next day we came to Miletus. 01:13:42.710 --> 01:13:47.390 For Saul had determined to sail by Ephesus because he would not spend the time in 01:13:47.390 --> 01:13:54.310 Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him to be at Jerusalem the day of 01:13:54.310 --> 01:13:55.230 Pentecost. 01:13:55.790 --> 01:13:57.390 The day of Pentecost. 01:13:58.070 --> 01:13:58.250 Okay. 01:13:58.470 --> 01:13:58.990 All right. 01:13:59.030 --> 01:14:01.810 We're going to go ahead and take a 10 minute break here. 01:14:01.990 --> 01:14:07.710 And we're going to come back and pick up the second part and the conclusion of our discussion.
