Mykah 6:8 dismantles the religious ideal of modesty by showing that tsana’, rooted in tsanaph, conveys being tightly wrapped and bound to Yahowah while exercising mishpat, chesed, courage, and sound judgment rather than meek submission. Yahowah’s preference for the Gabowr and the chazaq reveals the qualities He values in His coworkers~capable, resolute, bold, forceful, courageous, resilient people who remain loyal, complete their assignments, and embrace the liberating purpose of the Beryth. The discussion then advances through Mykah 6:9–10 into Dowd, the Mateh, Yahowah’s restored name, and 2 Shamuw’el 6, where the movement of the ’Arown Beryth becomes a prophetic portrayal of Yisra’el’s restoration and return to Yahowah.

00:00:00 ~ Intro ~ Verbatim
00:17:27 ~ “And most of all, Yahowah wants us to demonstrate that we can be useful. We can listen, learn, reply and respond, engage and endure. We can stay the course. We can kalah, complete the mission.”
00:26:32 ~ “To be liberated from this planet, you have to be emancipated from three dimensions. You have to be freed through the fourth, fifth, sixth, and into the seventh dimension. It is all about being liberated in dimensionality.”
00:34:25 ~ “She knew, as do I, that Yahowah has an affinity for Gabowr. He presents himself and those that he works with as being chazaq. And chazaq is fiercely bold, abundantly forceful, valiantly courageous, overtly combative, tough, resilient.”
00:54:59 ~ “The voice of Yahowah to the inhabitants of the city, he invites and he summons, calling out while reading and reciting. So, the one successfully executing sound judgment, who shows the capacity for understanding Yahowah. This is tuwshyah. He is shown, he observes, he perceives, he revels in, and he reveals and delights in your name.”
01:08:24 ~ “And while I’m sure that everything happened this way, I’m even more certain that this story was told to be prophetic. And all of its profoundly important and revealing implications, right down to the smallest details. It is magnificent.”

00:00:25Bashar, Bashar
00:00:30Bring children home, and here we are. Bashar, the Herald of Yahweh.
00:01:03Bashar, the Herald of Yahweh.
00:01:05But nevertheless, we will press on. I'm totally alone here now, too, because even Wookiee decided that after he had
00:01:12his tea, he would bail out of being a co-host.
00:01:17So here we are. Now, considering all the foregoing, and we've done a number of series, probably 10, 12 already
00:01:25on our Bashar Herald series, it has become vital to know, Wookiee does not want to be back up here.
00:01:35However, that it's important to appreciate the value of sound teaching and throughout history and unto this very day, Yahweh's
00:01:45instructions have been grossly misappropriated to promote all manner of religious conspiratorial notions, all of which should lead the unwary
00:01:56away from God.
00:01:57Now, I'm rewriting Written in Stone now, which was the first book that was presented as an introductory to all
00:02:04the others, the only short book I ever wrote.
00:02:06And but I'm incapable of writing it as an introductory book anymore.
00:02:11It'll still be short. It'll be probably 300 pages or just shy by the time it's it's rewritten.
00:02:19But when I am in the midst of it, I have to tell people that, you know, the Torah is
00:02:25a historical portrayal, but that's not his purpose.
00:02:30Nobody that heard what Moshe had to say listened.
00:02:35They paid no attention to him. Yeah, they knew God's name was Yahweh.
00:02:38They just didn't care.
00:02:39They knew that he had liberated them from apartheid and genocide, but they had no appreciation.
00:02:47They fully recognized that he was God.
00:02:51It just didn't matter to them.
00:02:55And they stayed that way, not only through the 40 years of the Exodus, but for the 3,400 years
00:03:04that followed.
00:03:05Never wavering from what was just wholesale belligerence.
00:03:12And so my understanding of all this now is that while the Torah is historic and it portrays the
00:03:26really challenging relationship that Yahweh had with Israel, that's not its primary purpose.
00:03:34Its primary purpose is to be prophetic for us today, because if we don't listen today, there won't be an
00:03:44us tomorrow.
00:03:44There won't be a tomorrow.
00:03:48And this is no different, no matter where we look.
00:03:52In the Torah and prophets, the prophecies did absolutely no good.
00:03:59Not a psalm, not a proverb, not a prophetic account, not a single book in the Torah.
00:04:11They did no good whatsoever for the audience at the time they were delivered.
00:04:20And so it's either we understand them and listen carefully, contemplate the meaning and act accordingly now.
00:04:29Or there just will be no us tomorrow.
00:04:35So even now, we are aware that a clinically should be clinically diagnosed.
00:04:43People are really way out of touch with reality.
00:04:49No matter how hard one works trying to garner the attention of God's people, they remain as recalcitrant, as difficult
00:05:00as they have ever been.
00:05:03And we also find that there's insider revolts, too.
00:05:08And they also are belligerent.
00:05:12And they wouldn't care so much if it wasn't for the fact that credibility is the currency of this job.
00:05:19And when someone tries to impugn it, in today's world, the negation of character and credibility is exceedingly easy.
00:05:29The establishment of it is extraordinarily difficult.
00:05:34So we find that God is consistently ever ready to demonstrate his unrelenting resolve and confidence in what we are
00:05:45doing.
00:05:46He doesn't ever want us to cower or hide.
00:05:49And since Yahweh had a lot to say about the troublemakers, both of his people and the insiders who would
00:05:56be so obnoxious,
00:05:57it's important that we recognize that he took the time to say these things and that we learn from them
00:06:03so that our response is consistent with his.
00:06:09Yahweh wants everyone to know that he will never turn, ever, under any circumstances, against those he has chosen.
00:06:20Now, you might say that, oh, well, you know, there were issues with Joe.
00:06:23But think, just go back a moment.
00:06:31With Adam, when he took Adam out of the garden, he told Adam what he had done.
00:06:38And he told Adam that this would be the consequence going forward.
00:06:42But he didn't give up on Adam.
00:06:44He gave Adam advice.
00:06:46He told Adam what to expect.
00:06:47And then he provided Chinook to care for him.
00:06:52So you look at Moshe.
00:06:54Now, I am sure there was some grumbling and swearing that went along with building a 550-foot Teba.
00:07:05Lots of splinters.
00:07:07You know, imagine putting tar on that sucker and then, you know, it ripping the hairs off your arm as
00:07:15you're trying to scrape off the tar at the end of the day.
00:07:18I mean, this was a tough job.
00:07:22But did you ever hear once where he always says, oh, come on, you know, Noah, chill, pal.
00:07:28You know, it's not that hard.
00:07:30Stick with it.
00:07:31Swear not.
00:07:32Or I be not with you or something.
00:07:34No, he never said, never said anything unkind about Noah.
00:07:41With him 100% every day all the way.
00:07:48So, in fact, he got so trusting in Noah that it was Noah who accompanied him with his son Shem
00:07:56when meeting with Abraham and Sarah on the announcement of a son when discussing the fate of Sodom.
00:08:02That was such a repulsive retort from Abraham.
00:08:06And it was, again, 10 years later, Noah and Shem that accompanied Abraham and Yishak to Mount Moriah to provide
00:08:18the dress rehearsal for Passover.
00:08:22But you go forward in time and you have Ruth and Boaz after a horrible civil war in Israel.
00:08:32And you find Boaz is the official mayor of Bethlehem and, you know, a man that had it all.
00:08:43And you find Ruth waltzing into town absolutely full of prophetic insights and confidence in her relationship with the Iowa
00:08:55and how everything was going to turn out marvelously.
00:09:01And look what God did with them.
00:09:05They had the confidence to say, you know, she said, I'm the Amma.
00:09:09I'm going to deliver the kinsman redeemer.
00:09:11By the way, you are the kinsman redeemer.
00:09:14And together we're going to deliver the kinsman redeemer.
00:09:18You are the Nakar.
00:09:20I am the Nakara.
00:09:22Bold the whole time.
00:09:23Is there ever a rebuke from God?
00:09:26There's one from Israel.
00:09:28Never.
00:09:31You know, you read the story of what Ethan Hawes Rocky and his wife had to do to restore Dode's
00:09:38reputation and relationship with the Iowa.
00:09:42It's nothing but positive.
00:09:47And you look at Moshe, turn back the clock a little bit, and Moshe had his meltdown moments.
00:09:52But when he did, God never gave up on him, never turned, never said anything other than he understood.
00:10:02He understood why Moshe wanted him to kill him.
00:10:07Probably wanted to blow his own brains out, too.
00:10:09I mean, children of Israel were really obnoxious.
00:10:11It was an impossible job.
00:10:12God knew it.
00:10:13He had tried it.
00:10:15Nobody could survive these people.
00:10:18And so even with Moshe's meltdowns, Yahweh never backed away from him.
00:10:24Even when he struck the rock at the end, God gave him a really extraordinary personal airborne tour of the
00:10:34promised land.
00:10:35And said, hey, man, here it is.
00:10:39You're going to get to live in it with me here in paradise.
00:10:44And I'll show you what the whole thing is.
00:10:45But I'm going to remove you from having to deal with any of this.
00:10:52I think we've got our camera there at a little bit of a tilt, and we have the earth at
00:10:58this angle.
00:11:00The ocean is going to run out into the east and dump over the edge, of course, because it must
00:11:08be flat.
00:11:08And at this point, it must be angled, but we'll get that resolved.
00:11:15The palm tree is at an angle, too, so maybe it all works.
00:11:20And, you know, you look at Dode.
00:11:23When Yahweh was frustrated with Dode for his total debolical with Bathsheba and Bathsheba's husband, he stopped talking to Dode.
00:11:41Dode, he reprimanded Dode, and they had a timeout that lasted for years.
00:11:49But Yahweh didn't give up on him.
00:11:52He sent souls of Ruth and Boaz as Ethan Hawes, Rocky, and Niama, and to coach him, to support him.
00:12:06And it worked out beautifully.
00:12:08So that's really God's nature.
00:12:10He is absolutely committed to those souls that he has used throughout time to advance his bidding.
00:12:19To oppose them is really foolish because God's uncompromising in this regard.
00:12:26It was so hard to find, I'm sure, souls that were uncompromising in return, that would never give up on
00:12:32him,
00:12:32that would finish whatever job they were tasked with, no matter how difficult.
00:12:37And so God is exceedingly loyal.
00:12:40And he's always been loyal to Dode.
00:12:42And he's been loyal to the mother and father that support his son.
00:12:47And he's going to continue to be loyal.
00:12:50He's even loyal to the nitwits that comprise the children of Israel.
00:12:58You want up?
00:12:59What do you want?
00:13:00What do you want?
00:13:02I cannot figure out sometimes what the Wook has decided.
00:13:08But we'll toss him a piece of meat.
00:13:10No, that did not serve his interest.
00:13:17Okay.
00:13:19Wow.
00:13:22Sometimes it's just hard to know.
00:13:25What are you supposed to do, huh?
00:13:28So, ah, the only issue was the blue ball was on the table.
00:13:35And my Wookiee, he loves that blue ball.
00:13:38He loves that blue ball, I swear, more than he loves life.
00:13:43All right.
00:13:44So, even with Dode, they worked it out.
00:13:47Even with the children of Israel, they're going to work it out.
00:13:50There's going to be a remnant.
00:13:54So, well, God doesn't like many people and dislikes most people.
00:14:00In the end, those people that he has chosen to express his loyalty and support,
00:14:08he's going to be with them in the end.
00:14:11He wants his people to be assured in this regard.
00:14:15Because the religious have corrupted this.
00:14:19The two most popular religions are based upon stealing everything from God,
00:14:25including his people, and claiming that God came to hate the chosen people,
00:14:31that he replaced them, that he's so dishonest and so unreliable
00:14:38that he walked away from an agreement, a solemn oath with his people,
00:14:42and replaced them with other people.
00:14:44That's the nature of Islam.
00:14:46It's the nature of Christianity.
00:14:49That's not the God that communicates through the Torah and Prophets.
00:14:54I'll tell you that for sure.
00:14:56So, he wants his people to be able to rely on his reliability.
00:15:01And we know that Yahweh is an accomplished teacher,
00:15:05so we're always wiser when we contemplate his prophetic testimony.
00:15:10When his guidance is woven into the story that,
00:15:13well, it's always a story that seems somehow to pertain to us.
00:15:19And as we read them, we have additional proof that he cares about who we are
00:15:25and what we're doing and is reminding us that we can trust him.
00:15:29He is willing to guide us through any current challenge,
00:15:34revealing how important our success is to what he once achieved
00:15:40and how much it means to his people at this time.
00:15:46Now, even more than this, Yahweh actually needs certain people, select individuals,
00:15:54particular set-apart souls, to serve as examples.
00:16:00We must demonstrate that we can endure and that we can prevail.
00:16:06And when attacked, that we will stay the course and never run away.
00:16:12He wants us to experience the heartache of a fractured family
00:16:18so that we can speak with empathy regarding what he has had to deal with
00:16:25throughout the millennia.
00:16:27It's the reason that Hosha was asked to marry Goma, the religious prostitute.
00:16:33It is why Dode actually gained by having so many horrible marriages and kids.
00:16:45That's why Moshe's willingness to see the job through,
00:16:51even when tormented by his own people, matters.
00:16:56Further, God knows that it is helpful and it is also reassuring
00:17:02when we prove the naysayers wrong.
00:17:06He values the approach we are using,
00:17:10which is to logically present evidence and reason
00:17:13and to overcome deceptions and delusions,
00:17:17even if we slay them one at a time and over time,
00:17:22not filling them all at the same time.
00:17:27And most of all, Yahweh wants us to demonstrate that we can be useful.
00:17:32We can listen, learn, reply and respond, engage and endure.
00:17:40We can stay the course.
00:17:43We can complete the mission.
00:17:49Therefore, to set the scene for those who may not be aware,
00:17:56we had a fractured family event with a mother goddess promoting conspiratorial nonsense.
00:18:04And they actually went so far as to deny the sacrifice of Dode as the Passover lamb.
00:18:11Now, that might not mean anything to anybody unless you're among the few
00:18:16who had it proven that Dode was the Passover lamb
00:18:20and that his willingness to fulfill Chagmatzah in year 4000 Yah 33 CE
00:18:27is the essence of covenant reconciliation.
00:18:34And they also were belligerent in saying that Yadda is not the Adama Param
00:18:39and that he has no role in fulfilling Teruah,
00:18:43which I guess you're going to leave it then to a red cow.
00:18:48Gee, so, you know what?
00:18:51You're saying, I guess, that there was no fulfillment of Pisach and Matzah.
00:18:58You know, somebody found a stray lamb somewhere and nailed it to an upright stake
00:19:07and Dode wrote about the lamb?
00:19:09I guess.
00:19:10And that rather than the two luminaries fulfilling the Moedim,
00:19:16as God prophesied, that that's not going to occur
00:19:20or anything that was in Numbers 15,
00:19:22when it's all about the redemption that's provided by the ram and the bull and the goat,
00:19:28those aren't people, it doesn't matter.
00:19:30We'll just find a stray cow on Teruah and that'll take care of everything.
00:19:36Yeah, have the rabbis find themselves a red heifer and that'll fix everybody up.
00:19:42Anyway, that was their play.
00:19:47So that would leave the mortal remnant of God ill-prepared for his return.
00:19:53In fact, there would be no mortal remnant because there'd be no one to call them home.
00:19:59They went to the extent of seeking to misapply scores of descriptive titles
00:20:05that Yahweh has chosen to explain our collaboration, because it's important to him.
00:20:13Opining with all evidence, of course, to the contrary,
00:20:17that those who speak for Yahweh must be perfect.
00:20:24Huh?
00:20:25So I want to ask you, who spoke for Yahweh that was perfect?
00:20:31Hmm?
00:20:34It certainly wasn't Moshe, and he was called the greatest of the prophets.
00:20:39You know, when you tell God, even before you leave Mitzrayim,
00:20:44that this whole idea was craziness, that he had said,
00:20:48I told you it wasn't going to work, and all you've done is make the situation worse
00:20:52for these people.
00:20:55Give up.
00:20:55Go away.
00:20:56I don't want to be part of this thing anymore.
00:20:58And, you know, you don't get three days out of Choreb, and he's saying,
00:21:01God, just kill me.
00:21:03You must hate me for having put me in this situation.
00:21:06So you want to pretend that that's perfect?
00:21:12No.
00:21:14It's just so irritatingly insane to claim that everyone who speaks for God
00:21:26should be perfect.
00:21:28And one of the reasons it's so insane is that God himself is not perfect.
00:21:32You can't be God, have created Adam and the garden,
00:21:38and it turned out so poorly that you have to kick him out of the garden
00:21:43if you're perfect.
00:21:45You can't say, I regret having created humanity if you're perfect.
00:21:52You can't arrange for a meeting with Israel after you've saved them
00:21:58from apartheid and genocide and have them tell you to go away and shut up
00:22:04that they never want to see you or hear from you again,
00:22:08if you're perfect.
00:22:10And if you were perfect, what would be the point of anything?
00:22:14How would you grow?
00:22:16Where would you go?
00:22:17What would you do?
00:22:19Now, as for people,
00:22:22if you're stupid enough to think that God wants perfect people,
00:22:26then what are we all going to be?
00:22:29Blue-eyed and blonde-haired?
00:22:31Are we all going to be women at 5'10 and men at 6'2?
00:22:38Are we all going to look the same?
00:22:41Because perfection would be demanded.
00:22:45Are we all going to have exactly the same personalities?
00:22:49Are we all going to know exactly the same things?
00:22:51Are we all going to know everything
00:22:56and be in a position where we can learn nothing?
00:22:59Because being perfect means you know it all.
00:23:02And you can never make a mistake and prove your worth
00:23:05by growing as a result of it.
00:23:08It means that if we were perfect,
00:23:11we'd be totally irritating to God since he's not.
00:23:15And if you were perfect,
00:23:19then why would God want more than one of you?
00:23:23Perfect, everybody's the same.
00:23:25What's the point?
00:23:27Well, the point is that perfect is a religious concept.
00:23:31And when God speaks to us about those
00:23:36through whom he is working
00:23:37and what he is trying to achieve,
00:23:39he uses tamim and tamam, exact same word.
00:23:43One's the singular and the other is the plural.
00:23:45And it doesn't mean perfect.
00:23:47It means God wants finishers,
00:23:50those who complete,
00:23:51those who are committed to get the job done,
00:23:54those who he can trust and rely upon
00:23:56because he's trustworthy and rely upon and reliable.
00:24:01In the last paragraph I wrote
00:24:04and written in stone before sitting in this chair,
00:24:11I was commenting on the second presentation
00:24:15of the first statement that Yawa etched
00:24:18on the first tablet,
00:24:19where he spoke of being responsible
00:24:23for liberating the children of Israel
00:24:26from the house of slavery
00:24:29and from a servitude.
00:24:34And he presents himself as an emancipator,
00:24:38a great liberator.
00:24:40And so you say, okay, why that?
00:24:46Why speak of a historical event
00:24:49in the first statement
00:24:51that you're going to etch in stone,
00:24:53particularly if my conclusion is accurate,
00:24:57that the children of Israel
00:24:58paid no attention to what God wrote,
00:25:00which is why the tablets were put
00:25:02in the Aaron Barath.
00:25:04And it is why once they were put
00:25:06in the Aaron Barath,
00:25:07the top was closed,
00:25:08they didn't look at them again.
00:25:10And then ultimately,
00:25:12before the Babylonians arrived,
00:25:15the Aaron Barath was taken away
00:25:17and put in Jeremiah's grotto
00:25:19where it remains,
00:25:20only to be displayed again
00:25:22during the last days.
00:25:24So why would he double down
00:25:29on emancipation?
00:25:31I'm the God who liberated you
00:25:33from slavery,
00:25:34from the house of bondage.
00:25:36What's the big deal,
00:25:38particularly prophetically?
00:25:41I still haven't reconciled
00:25:43the entire family.
00:25:45Well, that's true,
00:25:46but that isn't the answer.
00:25:49The answer is that
00:25:51what God is offering
00:25:53through the covenant,
00:25:53which is all that matters to him,
00:25:56is first and foremost,
00:25:59liberation,
00:26:01total emancipation.
00:26:02We are stuck here
00:26:04almost like we're slaves
00:26:05in time and place
00:26:08on earth in three dimensions.
00:26:10I can jump as high as I can jump
00:26:13and I can get about a foot
00:26:14and a half off the ground.
00:26:16I can get in my airplane, man.
00:26:18I can get 30,000 feet.
00:26:22So what?
00:26:24You can get in a rocket ship.
00:26:26You can go all the way to the moon.
00:26:28Big deal.
00:26:32To be liberated
00:26:35from this planet,
00:26:37you have to be emancipated
00:26:39from three dimensions.
00:26:42You have to be freed
00:26:44through the fourth,
00:26:46fifth,
00:26:47sixth,
00:26:47and into the seventh dimension.
00:26:50It is all about
00:26:51being liberated
00:26:53in dimensionality.
00:26:55That is how you become
00:26:57empowered,
00:26:59enlightened,
00:27:00enriched.
00:27:02It is how you become
00:27:04immortal.
00:27:06It's how you enter
00:27:07God's presence.
00:27:08It is total
00:27:09and complete
00:27:11emancipation.
00:27:13But with that emancipation
00:27:15comes tremendous
00:27:16responsibility
00:27:17because
00:27:18your capabilities
00:27:20are infinitely
00:27:22greater than they are now.
00:27:23And look how much
00:27:24damage
00:27:25man
00:27:25locked in three dimensions
00:27:27has done to this world
00:27:29and to his fellow man
00:27:30and to
00:27:30his relationship
00:27:31with God.
00:27:34Now imagine
00:27:35being liberated
00:27:36into the seventh dimension.
00:27:38So that is what
00:27:39God
00:27:40is offering.
00:27:41But to do that,
00:27:43he has to be
00:27:44absolutely
00:27:45certain
00:27:45that we can live up
00:27:47to that responsibility.
00:27:50So it is
00:27:51the essence
00:27:52of what God
00:27:52is offering.
00:27:55Liberation.
00:27:56Liberation from
00:27:57human,
00:27:58religious,
00:27:58and political
00:27:59control.
00:28:01Liberation from
00:28:02the constraints
00:28:02of three dimensions.
00:28:06that is what
00:28:07he is offering.
00:28:08And to
00:28:09capitalize on it,
00:28:10you need to process
00:28:12all the rest
00:28:13of the statements
00:28:15that he etched
00:28:16in stone.
00:28:20And there's not
00:28:21a single one
00:28:21of them,
00:28:23not one of them,
00:28:24that hints at
00:28:25or suggests
00:28:27that you should
00:28:28be perfect.
00:28:29as a matter
00:28:30of fact,
00:28:31all but one
00:28:32of the ten
00:28:34was written
00:28:35in the imperfect.
00:28:38Speaking of
00:28:38perfect.
00:28:40And in the
00:28:40imperfect,
00:28:41it says that
00:28:42you can do
00:28:43something a thousand
00:28:44times,
00:28:44all you need to do
00:28:45is eventually
00:28:46stop.
00:28:48I mean,
00:28:48it's the
00:28:49antithesis of
00:28:50perfect,
00:28:50which is probably
00:28:51why they call it
00:28:52the imperfect.
00:28:58perfect.
00:28:59So,
00:29:00there never
00:29:01have been
00:29:02and never
00:29:02will be
00:29:03any perfect
00:29:03people.
00:29:04There never
00:29:05has been
00:29:06and never
00:29:06will be
00:29:06a perfect
00:29:07God.
00:29:09Perfection
00:29:10is
00:29:12counterproductive.
00:29:13It is
00:29:14a guarantee
00:29:15of eternal
00:29:16misery.
00:29:18It would
00:29:19be like
00:29:19that
00:29:20Twilight Zone
00:29:21episode
00:29:21where the
00:29:23guy wakes
00:29:24up and
00:29:24he has
00:29:24the most
00:29:25beautiful
00:29:25wife,
00:29:26the most
00:29:26perfect
00:29:26kids,
00:29:27the perfect
00:29:28lawn without
00:29:29a weed,
00:29:29the perfect
00:29:30flowers,
00:29:31and the
00:29:31perfect white
00:29:32picket fence.
00:29:33And he
00:29:34goes to
00:29:35his job
00:29:36and he
00:29:37gets the
00:29:38perfect
00:29:38promotion
00:29:38and the
00:29:39perfect
00:29:39raise,
00:29:40and he's
00:29:40driving the
00:29:40perfect
00:29:41car,
00:29:41and that
00:29:42everything
00:29:42in his
00:29:43life turns
00:29:43out absolutely
00:29:44perfectly.
00:29:46He plays
00:29:47the lottery
00:29:47and he wins
00:29:48the lottery
00:29:49and everything
00:29:50he wants
00:29:51and he
00:29:52does it
00:29:53day after
00:29:53day after
00:29:54day after
00:29:54day until
00:29:55he says,
00:29:56God, I
00:29:57can't handle
00:29:58this anymore.
00:30:01And he
00:30:02is informed,
00:30:03you're not
00:30:03in heaven,
00:30:04you're in
00:30:04hell.
00:30:08So,
00:30:09this lack
00:30:10of perfection,
00:30:12it includes
00:30:13Adam and
00:30:14Chanuk,
00:30:15Noah and
00:30:15Abraham and
00:30:16Sarah and
00:30:17Yishak and
00:30:17Jacob the
00:30:18worm,
00:30:20Leah and
00:30:20Ruth and
00:30:22Boaz and
00:30:23Shamuel and
00:30:24Dode.
00:30:25Is Dode a
00:30:27prophet?
00:30:29Dode a
00:30:30prophet?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:31Yeah?
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33Was Dode
00:30:33perfect?
00:30:34No.
00:30:37Did Dode
00:30:38learn as he
00:30:39grew and
00:30:40was confronted
00:30:41with who
00:30:42he was and
00:30:42what
00:30:43responsibility
00:30:43he should
00:30:44bear?
00:30:45Obviously.
00:30:46His father
00:30:46taught him
00:30:47well.
00:30:48It did.
00:30:51Ethan was
00:30:52had his
00:30:52act
00:30:52together
00:30:53as did
00:30:53Obed
00:30:54Edom,
00:30:55but they
00:30:56weren't
00:30:56perfect.
00:30:56Elia
00:30:57definitely
00:30:58was not
00:30:59perfect.
00:31:00You will
00:31:00pretty smart
00:31:01guy,
00:31:02not perfect.
00:31:03Yasha,
00:31:03yeah,
00:31:04lots of
00:31:04troubles.
00:31:06Yirma,
00:31:07yeah,
00:31:07in fact,
00:31:07he broke
00:31:08down in
00:31:08tears at
00:31:10one point.
00:31:12Yirma,
00:31:12yeah,
00:31:13viewed himself
00:31:14unqualified for
00:31:15the job,
00:31:15which is
00:31:16far from
00:31:16perfect.
00:31:18So,
00:31:19since Yirma
00:31:20worked with
00:31:20all of them,
00:31:21communicated
00:31:21through them,
00:31:22the perfection
00:31:23myth is
00:31:24obviously
00:31:25errant.
00:31:26Of course,
00:31:27the people
00:31:27wielding it
00:31:28are scum.
00:31:31We are
00:31:31instead called
00:31:32to listen
00:31:33and learn,
00:31:33to explore
00:31:34and examine,
00:31:35to contemplate
00:31:36and comprehend,
00:31:37to respond
00:31:37and engage,
00:31:38becoming
00:31:38productive
00:31:39and steadfast,
00:31:41confident
00:31:41and courageous
00:31:42such that
00:31:43when we
00:31:44make
00:31:44inadvertent
00:31:45mistakes,
00:31:46we can
00:31:46admit them.
00:31:47We can
00:31:48correct them.
00:31:49We can
00:31:50grow beyond
00:31:51them.
00:31:51And we
00:31:52can demonstrate
00:31:53our credibility
00:31:55and integrity
00:31:57in the
00:31:57process.
00:31:59It is the
00:32:00only way
00:32:00to do
00:32:01these things.
00:32:03It's the
00:32:04essence of
00:32:04growth,
00:32:04which is the
00:32:06essence of
00:32:06life.
00:32:08And one
00:32:09of the
00:32:09more recent
00:32:10ploys of
00:32:11this malevolent
00:32:12group has
00:32:13been to
00:32:13deny the
00:32:14work of
00:32:15the
00:32:15Nakhri
00:32:15of the
00:32:16Chodur
00:32:16and the
00:32:16Adamah
00:32:17Parah
00:32:17by falsely
00:32:18claiming that
00:32:19those engaged
00:32:20in pursuing
00:32:21God's people
00:32:22must also be
00:32:23meek and
00:32:25modest.
00:32:26They used
00:32:27a citation
00:32:28in Micah
00:32:296.8
00:32:30to justify
00:32:31the notion
00:32:32that bulls,
00:32:33rams,
00:32:34and goats
00:32:35are demure.
00:32:41I'm fairly
00:32:42familiar with
00:32:43bulls,
00:32:45rams,
00:32:45and goats.
00:32:47And demure
00:32:48is not
00:32:50among their
00:32:51characteristics.
00:32:52Now,
00:32:53tripping on
00:32:54their own
00:32:54forked tongue,
00:32:55one of the
00:32:55most villainous
00:32:57foes was so
00:32:58insistent in
00:32:59promoting modesty
00:33:00that she began
00:33:02her word of the
00:33:03day with
00:33:04Shanna.
00:33:06Now,
00:33:07her word of
00:33:07the day
00:33:09was a
00:33:09word
00:33:11that
00:33:13only
00:33:13appeared
00:33:13once.
00:33:15So,
00:33:15why do you
00:33:16think she
00:33:16picked a
00:33:16word that
00:33:18only
00:33:19appeared
00:33:19once?
00:33:21You know,
00:33:21I'm going to
00:33:21pick a word
00:33:22of the day.
00:33:22I'm going to
00:33:22pick,
00:33:23well,
00:33:23maybe
00:33:23Hayah
00:33:24appears
00:33:24thousands
00:33:25of times
00:33:26of
00:33:26Anna,
00:33:27of
00:33:28Kara,
00:33:29of
00:33:30Barath,
00:33:31of
00:33:31Torah.
00:33:32I have a
00:33:33lot of
00:33:33words that I
00:33:34think would
00:33:34be really
00:33:35cool to
00:33:36be the
00:33:36word of
00:33:36the day,
00:33:37and I'd
00:33:37start with
00:33:38the big
00:33:38guns.
00:33:39With
00:33:40Shanna,
00:33:41you'd only
00:33:42do that
00:33:42if you
00:33:43have a
00:33:44really
00:33:46wee
00:33:46little
00:33:47agenda.
00:33:49Yeah,
00:33:50it's a
00:33:50term that
00:33:50with that
00:33:51spelling is
00:33:52only used
00:33:53once in
00:33:54the entirety
00:33:55of the
00:33:55Torah,
00:33:56Nabiyam
00:33:56Wam
00:33:56is more,
00:33:57but it
00:33:58was a
00:33:59ploy.
00:34:00So,
00:34:01the thousand
00:34:01better
00:34:02options,
00:34:02it was an
00:34:03odd choice
00:34:04to be
00:34:04sure.
00:34:04So,
00:34:05Leah,
00:34:05my wife,
00:34:06who manages
00:34:06branding for
00:34:07Yadaya.com,
00:34:09the Yadayawa
00:34:10books,
00:34:11and the
00:34:12Yadayawa
00:34:12blog,
00:34:13immediately and
00:34:15correctly realized
00:34:16that something was
00:34:17amiss,
00:34:18and that this
00:34:20was agenda-driven,
00:34:22and therefore
00:34:23wrong.
00:34:25She knew,
00:34:26as do I,
00:34:27that Yadayawa has an
00:34:28affinity for Gabor.
00:34:29He presents
00:34:32himself and
00:34:32those that he
00:34:33works with
00:34:34as being
00:34:34Shazak.
00:34:36And Shazak
00:34:37is fiercely
00:34:38bold,
00:34:39abundantly
00:34:40forceful,
00:34:42valiantly
00:34:43courageous,
00:34:44overtly
00:34:45combative,
00:34:46tough,
00:34:48resilient.
00:34:50These are the
00:34:50adjectives most
00:34:51commonly ascribed
00:34:53by God to
00:34:55Dode when
00:34:57his son is
00:34:57at his
00:34:58best.
00:34:59And as a
00:35:00result of
00:35:01Yadayawa's
00:35:02preference and
00:35:03knowing that
00:35:04our target audience
00:35:05of secular
00:35:06Jews is
00:35:08comprised of
00:35:09secular Jews,
00:35:09it was Leah
00:35:10who has tried to
00:35:12make our
00:35:12branding reflect
00:35:14Yadayawa's
00:35:14style.
00:35:15It's bold.
00:35:16But unfortunately,
00:35:18women still
00:35:19mired in the
00:35:20culture of
00:35:21demeaning
00:35:22and
00:35:22misogynist
00:35:23religious
00:35:24customs,
00:35:25which are so
00:35:25prevalent in
00:35:26Judaism,
00:35:27Christianity,
00:35:28and Islam,
00:35:30find this
00:35:31rather uncomfortable.
00:35:33So they
00:35:34tend to
00:35:35attack those
00:35:36who ruffle
00:35:37their prudish
00:35:37feathers.
00:35:39Now,
00:35:39realizing
00:35:40the absurdity
00:35:41of offering
00:35:43a word
00:35:43for the
00:35:43day,
00:35:44using a
00:35:45word
00:35:46that is
00:35:47only used
00:35:48once,
00:35:49and is
00:35:50thereby
00:35:50subject
00:35:51to
00:35:52religious
00:35:52interpretation,
00:35:55Leah brought
00:35:55the post
00:35:56to me
00:35:57and asked
00:35:57if
00:35:58Shana
00:35:59was
00:36:00correctly
00:36:01rendered
00:36:01as
00:36:02modesty.
00:36:04So,
00:36:05I'll present
00:36:06the evidence
00:36:06and let
00:36:07you be
00:36:08the judge.
00:36:09Here's how
00:36:10the narrative
00:36:10reads.
00:36:12He has
00:36:12reported
00:36:13to you
00:36:14informing
00:36:14you,
00:36:16Adam,
00:36:17mankind,
00:36:17what
00:36:18should be
00:36:19questioned
00:36:20and
00:36:20considered
00:36:21that is
00:36:21beneficial,
00:36:23productive,
00:36:24proper,
00:36:25and good.
00:36:26So,
00:36:26what should
00:36:27be pondered
00:36:28and investigated
00:36:29regarding that
00:36:30which Yahweh
00:36:31seeks from you
00:36:32and cares
00:36:33about you
00:36:34regarding you?
00:36:36For,
00:36:37indeed,
00:36:37as a condition,
00:36:39act upon
00:36:40and engage
00:36:41in sound
00:36:42decision-making,
00:36:43exercising
00:36:44good judgment,
00:36:45while loving
00:36:47and desiring,
00:36:48even showing
00:36:49an affinity
00:36:49for mutually
00:36:51beneficial,
00:36:52loving,
00:36:53and affectionate
00:36:54relationships,
00:36:55even when
00:36:56sexuality is
00:36:57considered
00:36:59embarrassing
00:36:59and deemed
00:37:00shameful,
00:37:01Cheset,
00:37:01while also being
00:37:03bound up,
00:37:05Shana,
00:37:06being tightly
00:37:07wrapped
00:37:07from
00:37:08Shanaf
00:37:09to wrap,
00:37:10traveling
00:37:12through life
00:37:13while walking
00:37:15with and
00:37:17near
00:37:18your God.
00:37:21Micah,
00:37:21asking questions
00:37:23regarding
00:37:24Yahweh,
00:37:26Micah 6,
00:37:278.
00:37:28All right,
00:37:29so let's go back
00:37:29through that one more time.
00:37:30and we'll read
00:37:31the whole thing
00:37:31to you again
00:37:32and then we'll
00:37:33discuss what
00:37:34it is that
00:37:35God has
00:37:35conveyed to us.
00:37:37So,
00:37:38he has reported
00:37:38to you,
00:37:39informing you,
00:37:41mankind,
00:37:42that you
00:37:43should be
00:37:44questioned
00:37:45and,
00:37:46excuse me,
00:37:47it's informing you,
00:37:48mankind,
00:37:49what should be
00:37:49questioned
00:37:50and what should
00:37:51be considered.
00:37:52What is beneficial,
00:37:53productive,
00:37:54proper,
00:37:55and good?
00:37:55All right,
00:37:56so God has
00:37:57given us
00:37:57information
00:37:59to all
00:38:00of humankind
00:38:01so that
00:38:02we're in a position
00:38:03to know
00:38:03what we should
00:38:05question,
00:38:05what we should
00:38:06consider,
00:38:07such that we
00:38:08have an appreciation
00:38:08for what
00:38:09he thinks
00:38:10is beneficial,
00:38:12productive,
00:38:13proper,
00:38:13and good.
00:38:13So he's
00:38:14setting up
00:38:15the goalposts
00:38:16here.
00:38:17This is
00:38:18what we
00:38:19should
00:38:19think about
00:38:21so that
00:38:21we know
00:38:22God's
00:38:22perspective
00:38:23on productive,
00:38:25proper,
00:38:25good,
00:38:26and beneficial.
00:38:27So,
00:38:28what
00:38:29should be
00:38:30pondered
00:38:31and investigated
00:38:32regarding
00:38:33that which
00:38:34Yahweh seeks
00:38:35from you
00:38:36and cares
00:38:37about
00:38:38regarding you.
00:38:40So,
00:38:42once you know
00:38:43that God
00:38:44has given us
00:38:45information
00:38:45that tells us
00:38:46what's productive
00:38:47and unproductive,
00:38:48then we should
00:38:49be thinking
00:38:50about and
00:38:50investigating
00:38:51those things
00:38:52that Yahweh
00:38:53seeks
00:38:54from us,
00:38:55and he
00:38:57hopes
00:38:57that he
00:38:59can achieve
00:38:59through us
00:39:01and regarding
00:39:01us.
00:39:03For,
00:39:04indeed,
00:39:04as a
00:39:04condition,
00:39:07act upon
00:39:07and engage
00:39:08in,
00:39:09sound decision-making,
00:39:11exercising good
00:39:12judgment.
00:39:13So,
00:39:14the very first
00:39:15thing as an
00:39:16example of what
00:39:16Yahweh finds
00:39:17productive and
00:39:18good is
00:39:19that when we
00:39:20act and
00:39:21engage,
00:39:22not passive,
00:39:23we act
00:39:24and engage,
00:39:25we're not
00:39:26laying down
00:39:27and saying,
00:39:28you know,
00:39:28I want to be
00:39:28meek and
00:39:30mild-mannered,
00:39:31you just pass
00:39:32me right on
00:39:32by,
00:39:33I'm going to
00:39:33be a
00:39:33wallflower
00:39:34here,
00:39:35you all else,
00:39:35all you other
00:39:36guys,
00:39:36you ought to
00:39:36go and do
00:39:37something.
00:39:37No,
00:39:38it says,
00:39:39what God,
00:39:40let me give you
00:39:40an example
00:39:41of what God
00:39:42finds beneficial
00:39:44and good
00:39:44and proper,
00:39:46and he's
00:39:47interested in
00:39:48seeing from
00:39:48you.
00:39:49First thing
00:39:50on the list,
00:39:50act,
00:39:51engage and
00:39:54do so with
00:39:54your mind.
00:39:55Make sound
00:39:56decisions,
00:39:57exercise good
00:39:57judgment,
00:39:58mishpat.
00:39:59The second
00:40:00thing is,
00:40:04do so in
00:40:06a highly
00:40:07desirable
00:40:08manner,
00:40:10showing an
00:40:12affinity for
00:40:13genuinely
00:40:15loving.
00:40:16Loving is
00:40:17a strong
00:40:18emotion.
00:40:19Be
00:40:20passionate
00:40:21about.
00:40:21So act
00:40:22in a way
00:40:22that you're
00:40:23engaging your
00:40:24mind,
00:40:25making sound
00:40:26decisions,
00:40:27while your
00:40:29core,
00:40:31your motivations,
00:40:32your emotions
00:40:33are fully
00:40:35engaged,
00:40:36loving and
00:40:36desiring,
00:40:38showing an
00:40:38affinity for.
00:40:40Mutually
00:40:41beneficial,
00:40:42affectionate
00:40:43relationships.
00:40:44relationships,
00:40:45even if
00:40:46sexuality is
00:40:47considered
00:40:48embarrassing
00:40:49and deemed
00:40:50uncomfortable
00:40:52for you,
00:40:53chess said,
00:40:56while also
00:40:57being tightly
00:40:58bound.
00:41:00So now,
00:41:02traveling through
00:41:02life while
00:41:04walking,
00:41:05walking,
00:41:06engaged again,
00:41:06so we're
00:41:07loving,
00:41:08we're thinking,
00:41:09we're acting,
00:41:10and we're
00:41:12traveling through
00:41:12life,
00:41:13we're walking
00:41:13near and
00:41:15in dear,
00:41:16near and
00:41:17with your
00:41:18God.
00:41:19Everything
00:41:20is active,
00:41:23emotional,
00:41:24thoughtful,
00:41:25you name it,
00:41:26right?
00:41:27Fully engaged.
00:41:29So what in
00:41:30this world,
00:41:31word is,
00:41:32Shana,
00:41:33is God
00:41:34countering the,
00:41:36I want you
00:41:36to think,
00:41:37I want you
00:41:38to love,
00:41:39I want you
00:41:40to act,
00:41:43and he's
00:41:44countering all
00:41:44that with,
00:41:45I want you
00:41:45to be
00:41:47modest,
00:41:48I want you
00:41:49to be
00:41:49timid,
00:41:52I want you
00:41:53to be meek,
00:41:54wouldn't that
00:41:55be countered
00:41:55to all that?
00:41:58And why
00:41:59is the
00:42:00only route
00:42:02that we
00:42:03can discern
00:42:04the meaning
00:42:05associated
00:42:06with Shana
00:42:07Shanaf,
00:42:08which means
00:42:09to be
00:42:10tightly
00:42:10wrapped.
00:42:11That means
00:42:12to be
00:42:12fully
00:42:15covered
00:42:15and
00:42:16wrapped
00:42:17in
00:42:17and
00:42:17bound
00:42:18up in.
00:42:19All of
00:42:20this
00:42:20idea
00:42:21of being
00:42:22emotionally,
00:42:24mentally,
00:42:25actively
00:42:28engaged
00:42:28with God.
00:42:31So,
00:42:33to begin,
00:42:34Micah,
00:42:34is an
00:42:35abbreviation
00:42:36of
00:42:38Micah,
00:42:39and it
00:42:40is comprised
00:42:41of the
00:42:41interrogatory
00:42:42Mai,
00:42:43and it's
00:42:44asking the
00:42:44who,
00:42:44when,
00:42:45where,
00:42:45why,
00:42:46questions,
00:42:47key,
00:42:47because indeed,
00:42:48doubtless,
00:42:49it is certain
00:42:50that it is
00:42:51Shiawa.
00:42:53That is relevant
00:42:54because the
00:42:55statement in
00:42:55question includes
00:42:56two
00:42:58interrogatories,
00:42:59and it is
00:43:00posed in a
00:43:02very provocative
00:43:03manner.
00:43:05This statement
00:43:06opens by
00:43:07telling us
00:43:07that Yahweh
00:43:08has previously
00:43:09answered the
00:43:10questions which
00:43:11follow.
00:43:12He has made
00:43:13his preferences
00:43:14known,
00:43:15and that
00:43:16there are
00:43:17many options
00:43:18for man
00:43:19by using
00:43:20Adam
00:43:20without the
00:43:22definite article.
00:43:23the inference
00:43:24is that
00:43:25either God
00:43:26has had
00:43:27this discussion
00:43:28with Adam,
00:43:30or that we
00:43:31can find
00:43:31the answer
00:43:32in the
00:43:33narrative
00:43:34pertaining
00:43:35to Adam
00:43:36in the
00:43:37garden.
00:43:38Now,
00:43:39the opening
00:43:39question asks
00:43:40us to
00:43:41consider
00:43:41what Yahweh
00:43:42reported to
00:43:43Adam regarding
00:43:45what was
00:43:45Tob,
00:43:46good.
00:43:47Oh,
00:43:48the garden
00:43:48was good.
00:43:49Shiawa
00:43:50was good
00:43:51for Adam,
00:43:51at least it
00:43:52was perceived
00:43:53that way.
00:43:54The fruit
00:43:55was good.
00:43:56There was
00:43:57even a tree
00:43:57of knowledge
00:43:58of good,
00:43:59as well as
00:44:00bad.
00:44:01And,
00:44:02of course,
00:44:03Adam and
00:44:03Shiawa
00:44:04were naked,
00:44:05and that
00:44:07was good
00:44:07too.
00:44:09Now,
00:44:10as a result
00:44:10of this
00:44:11introduction
00:44:11and what
00:44:11follows,
00:44:12it appears
00:44:13that Leah's
00:44:14answer in
00:44:15refuting
00:44:16modesty
00:44:17was inspired.
00:44:20We can
00:44:21turn to
00:44:21the garden
00:44:22to demonstrate
00:44:23and determine
00:44:24Yahweh's
00:44:25preferences.
00:44:26This had
00:44:27been something
00:44:27I had
00:44:28reiterated
00:44:29for,
00:44:30I've done
00:44:30this for
00:44:3124 years,
00:44:32now 25
00:44:33years,
00:44:34because I
00:44:35realized that
00:44:36the story
00:44:36of Eden
00:44:37was told
00:44:38for this
00:44:38purpose.
00:44:39We need
00:44:40to understand
00:44:41it because
00:44:42that's where
00:44:42we're returning.
00:44:43It's prophetic
00:44:44of where God
00:44:45is taking
00:44:45us.
00:44:47As it
00:44:47was in
00:44:48Gan Eden,
00:44:49it will be
00:44:50following
00:44:50Sukkah in
00:44:512033.
00:44:52Should you
00:44:53not like
00:44:54the conditions
00:44:55of the
00:44:56garden?
00:44:57Should you
00:44:57not want
00:44:59to respond
00:45:01to Yahweh
00:45:02in a way
00:45:03that allows
00:45:03you to stay
00:45:04there rather
00:45:05than being
00:45:05booted out?
00:45:06Then you
00:45:07probably need
00:45:08to know
00:45:08what went
00:45:09wrong there
00:45:10and what
00:45:11was right
00:45:12there.
00:45:13And one
00:45:13of the
00:45:13things that
00:45:14was right
00:45:14there,
00:45:15of course,
00:45:15was a
00:45:16lack of
00:45:16modesty.
00:45:18They were
00:45:19naked.
00:45:21And it
00:45:21was cool.
00:45:24Now,
00:45:25that is why
00:45:26the prophet
00:45:28Micah,
00:45:29asking
00:45:30questions
00:45:31regarding
00:45:31Yahweh,
00:45:32wrote,
00:45:33he has
00:45:34reported
00:45:34to you
00:45:35informing
00:45:36you,
00:45:36Adam,
00:45:37what
00:45:38should be
00:45:39questioned
00:45:39and considered
00:45:40that is
00:45:41beneficial,
00:45:42productive,
00:45:43proper,
00:45:43and good.
00:45:44So what
00:45:45should be
00:45:46pondered and
00:45:47investigated
00:45:48regarding that
00:45:49which Yahweh
00:45:50seeks from
00:45:51you and
00:45:52cares about
00:45:52regarding you?
00:45:56So it's
00:45:57important that
00:45:57we consider
00:45:58what God
00:45:59views as
00:46:00good,
00:46:00beneficial,
00:46:01and proper,
00:46:02and particularly
00:46:04in light of
00:46:05how he
00:46:05interacted
00:46:06with Adam
00:46:07and with
00:46:07Chahua in
00:46:08the garden
00:46:09and the
00:46:10conditions
00:46:10and opportunities
00:46:11that he
00:46:12established
00:46:14for them
00:46:15in that
00:46:15situation.
00:46:17This is
00:46:18pertinent
00:46:18because that
00:46:19is where
00:46:20we are
00:46:20returning
00:46:21and what
00:46:23Yahweh
00:46:23perceived as
00:46:24good back
00:46:24then
00:46:25will be
00:46:25well,
00:46:26good tomorrow.
00:46:28Well,
00:46:28good for
00:46:29him,
00:46:29but whether
00:46:30or not
00:46:30it's good
00:46:30for you
00:46:31all depends
00:46:31on your
00:46:32attitude,
00:46:32I guess,
00:46:32on what
00:46:33we're going
00:46:33to continue
00:46:34to discuss.
00:46:36The opening
00:46:36phrase of
00:46:38the answer
00:46:39is a bit
00:46:40tricky.
00:46:41While
00:46:42he can be
00:46:42considered
00:46:43indeed,
00:46:44certainly,
00:46:44surely,
00:46:45truly,
00:46:45or because,
00:46:46and when
00:46:47written with
00:46:48the aleph
00:46:49has a host
00:46:51of possibilities
00:46:52beginning
00:46:52with if,
00:46:54it addresses
00:46:55conditional
00:46:56clauses
00:46:57and exceptions
00:46:57and is
00:46:58rendered
00:46:59whenever
00:47:00that not
00:47:01withstanding
00:47:02or nevertheless.
00:47:03Taking all
00:47:04of this
00:47:04into consideration,
00:47:05I think
00:47:06that it
00:47:06is fair
00:47:07to render
00:47:08key M
00:47:09as foreign
00:47:11deed.
00:47:12As a
00:47:13condition,
00:47:14nevertheless,
00:47:14this approach
00:47:15to the
00:47:16truth
00:47:17is conditional.
00:47:19And based
00:47:20on some
00:47:21of what
00:47:21follows,
00:47:21particularly
00:47:22when compared
00:47:23to Adam's
00:47:25experience in
00:47:25Edom,
00:47:27that approach
00:47:28is certainly
00:47:28justified.
00:47:30Now,
00:47:31Yahweh's
00:47:31encouraging us
00:47:32to mishvat,
00:47:34think rationally
00:47:35and judgmentally
00:47:35about what is
00:47:37tobe,
00:47:37what is productive
00:47:38and beneficial.
00:47:38If we want
00:47:39God to see us
00:47:40as being useful,
00:47:41appropriate,
00:47:42and pleasing,
00:47:43our actions
00:47:44and responses
00:47:45should be
00:47:46conditioned
00:47:46by exercising
00:47:48good judgment.
00:47:50In this
00:47:51case,
00:47:51we're
00:47:52encouraged
00:47:52to discern
00:47:53and deduce
00:47:54why it is
00:47:54appropriate
00:47:55to show
00:47:55an
00:47:57ahaba,
00:47:59an affinity
00:47:59for,
00:48:01desiring
00:48:02and loving
00:48:04Chesed.
00:48:06Loving
00:48:07and love,
00:48:09if you will.
00:48:09And while
00:48:11the secondary
00:48:12definition
00:48:12of Chesed
00:48:13is loving,
00:48:14devoted,
00:48:15and affectionate
00:48:16relationships
00:48:16with mutual
00:48:17benefits,
00:48:18the primary
00:48:19connotation
00:48:20is listed
00:48:21as sexual
00:48:23and that
00:48:24which is
00:48:25seen
00:48:25as embarrassing
00:48:27by religious
00:48:28cultures.
00:48:32Now,
00:48:33this is to
00:48:34suggest
00:48:34that Adam
00:48:35and Chawa
00:48:35enjoyed
00:48:36one another's
00:48:37company
00:48:37sexually.
00:48:38They were
00:48:39naked
00:48:39and unashamed.
00:48:41Likewise,
00:48:42the religious
00:48:43who are so
00:48:43hung up
00:48:44on modesty
00:48:45that they
00:48:45condemn
00:48:46opening up
00:48:47to the
00:48:48joy of
00:48:48loving
00:48:50sexuality
00:48:51becomes a
00:48:52real issue
00:48:53for them.
00:48:55Say it
00:48:55another way,
00:48:56Leah
00:48:57was right.
00:48:59designed
00:49:00us
00:49:01to
00:49:01arouse
00:49:02sexually
00:49:03and
00:49:04loving
00:49:04and affectionate
00:49:05mutually
00:49:06beneficial
00:49:07relationships.
00:49:10Nakedness
00:49:10and sex
00:49:11are good,
00:49:11not bad.
00:49:12And I
00:49:13speak
00:49:14from some
00:49:15experience.
00:49:16I am
00:49:17married
00:49:18to Leah
00:49:19after all
00:49:19and have
00:49:20been for
00:49:21much of
00:49:22the last
00:49:226,000
00:49:23years.
00:49:25Now,
00:49:26Yahweh's
00:49:26exceptions
00:49:27are few
00:49:28and far
00:49:29between.
00:49:30They
00:49:31include
00:49:34exceptions
00:49:35to
00:49:35sexuality,
00:49:36I should
00:49:36say,
00:49:37to be
00:49:37more
00:49:37explicit.
00:49:38We're
00:49:38not to
00:49:39traumatize
00:49:39children
00:49:40by having
00:49:40them see
00:49:41their parents
00:49:42naked,
00:49:43not to
00:49:44engage in
00:49:44incest,
00:49:45pedophilia,
00:49:45rape,
00:49:46or bestiality.
00:49:47To this,
00:49:49Yahweh wants
00:49:49women to
00:49:50have the
00:49:50privacy to
00:49:51deal with
00:49:52their menstrual
00:49:52cramps and
00:49:53bleeding without
00:49:54being pestered
00:49:55by men.
00:49:56This is
00:49:57not only
00:49:58for her
00:49:58health,
00:49:59but also
00:49:59for the
00:50:00health of
00:50:01the
00:50:01relationship.
00:50:03This
00:50:03brings us
00:50:04to the
00:50:04word of
00:50:05the day.
00:50:06By way
00:50:07of introduction,
00:50:08this word
00:50:08conveys
00:50:09something we
00:50:10should
00:50:10demonstrate
00:50:11and be
00:50:12cognizant
00:50:13of based
00:50:13upon the
00:50:15preceding
00:50:15narrative in
00:50:16the garden,
00:50:17especially
00:50:17in our
00:50:18walk
00:50:18through life
00:50:20with
00:50:20God
00:50:20as
00:50:22previously
00:50:22mentioned.
00:50:23When
00:50:23spelled
00:50:24as
00:50:24the
00:50:25TASDA
00:50:25T-S
00:50:26A-N
00:50:27A with
00:50:28the
00:50:28A-N
00:50:30at the
00:50:30end.
00:50:30So it's
00:50:32TASDA
00:50:33NUN
00:50:34A-N
00:50:35The word
00:50:37is found
00:50:37only in
00:50:37this one
00:50:38place.
00:50:38So the
00:50:39definition
00:50:40became a
00:50:41function
00:50:42of how
00:50:43religious
00:50:44publications
00:50:44had chosen
00:50:46to render
00:50:47it.
00:50:48religious
00:50:49institutions
00:50:50want the
00:50:52masses
00:50:52humble
00:50:53and meek
00:50:54because that's
00:50:55the easiest
00:50:56way to
00:50:56control
00:50:56them.
00:50:57Yeah,
00:50:58well,
00:50:58one says
00:50:58bold and
00:50:59strong
00:50:59because that's
00:51:01the best
00:51:01way to
00:51:02accomplish
00:51:02something,
00:51:03particularly
00:51:04to overcome
00:51:05all of the
00:51:06control
00:51:06mechanisms
00:51:07of religious
00:51:08institutions.
00:51:09Now,
00:51:10in such
00:51:10cases,
00:51:11to avoid
00:51:12being dragged
00:51:12down a
00:51:13misleading
00:51:14path,
00:51:14we must
00:51:15search for
00:51:16either an
00:51:17actionable
00:51:18root or
00:51:18cognates.
00:51:19And in
00:51:20this case,
00:51:20the verbal
00:51:21root is
00:51:22shanah.
00:51:25Its first
00:51:26use appears
00:51:27in Kara,
00:51:28called out
00:51:28Leviticus
00:51:2916.4,
00:51:31where it
00:51:31describes
00:51:32wrapping
00:51:33and winding
00:51:34and binding
00:51:36oneself
00:51:36in a
00:51:38fire that
00:51:39is set
00:51:39apart after
00:51:41our bodies
00:51:41are washed
00:51:42in water.
00:51:46and then
00:51:47in its
00:51:47final use,
00:51:49sanof,
00:51:50is used
00:51:51in
00:51:52Zechariah
00:51:523.5.
00:51:54There it
00:51:55addresses the
00:51:56wrapping
00:51:56of the
00:51:57turban
00:51:58worn by
00:51:59a high
00:51:59priest,
00:52:00as will
00:52:01be the
00:52:02case with
00:52:03Dode when
00:52:03he returns.
00:52:05So,
00:52:06girding
00:52:07oneself
00:52:09after a
00:52:10bath
00:52:11or
00:52:13properly
00:52:14placing
00:52:14the
00:52:15head wrap
00:52:16of a
00:52:17high
00:52:17priest so
00:52:18that you're
00:52:18prepared to
00:52:19enter the
00:52:20inter-sanctum
00:52:21where the
00:52:24eromberethes
00:52:27doesn't seem
00:52:27like there's
00:52:28even a
00:52:29hint of
00:52:30modesty
00:52:31or timidity
00:52:32in any
00:52:32of that,
00:52:35does there?
00:52:36And so,
00:52:37to take the
00:52:37verbal root
00:52:38and go from
00:52:38those two
00:52:39expressions when
00:52:40it's deployed
00:52:41to modesty
00:52:43or timidity
00:52:45is just
00:52:46religious
00:52:46foolology.
00:52:48And it's
00:52:49obvious that
00:52:49it's religious
00:52:51foolology.
00:52:51It doesn't
00:52:51fit the
00:52:52context,
00:52:53doesn't
00:52:54fit the
00:52:54verbal
00:52:54root.
00:52:58Therefore,
00:52:59we are
00:53:00to be
00:53:01Shana,
00:53:02wrapped up
00:53:03with Yah,
00:53:04bound to
00:53:05Him in
00:53:05our walk
00:53:06through life.
00:53:07When our
00:53:09emotions
00:53:10and our
00:53:11thoughts
00:53:12are bound
00:53:13with His,
00:53:14then we're
00:53:15going to be
00:53:15productive and
00:53:16pleasing.
00:53:18It's not
00:53:19complicated.
00:53:25with a
00:53:25little
00:53:26mishvat.
00:53:27The meaning
00:53:28is easily
00:53:29deduced and
00:53:30it is
00:53:30straightforward.
00:53:31But you
00:53:32ought to
00:53:32have seen
00:53:33the
00:53:33vitriol
00:53:34of this
00:53:37when we
00:53:38took the
00:53:38time to
00:53:39nicely
00:53:39correct her
00:53:40and say
00:53:40that is
00:53:41not the
00:53:42meaning of
00:53:42the word
00:53:43and said
00:53:44it exceedingly
00:53:45nicely and
00:53:45walked her
00:53:46all through
00:53:46the process.
00:53:48oh,
00:53:49she turned
00:53:49vicious because
00:53:51the whole
00:53:51thing had
00:53:51been a
00:53:52setup.
00:53:55So,
00:53:56the answer
00:53:57is always
00:53:57in the
00:53:57text.
00:53:58Go where
00:53:58the words
00:53:59lead.
00:54:01For
00:54:02indeed,
00:54:02as a
00:54:03condition,
00:54:05truly,
00:54:05if that
00:54:06notwithstanding
00:54:06whatever or
00:54:07nevertheless,
00:54:08this approach
00:54:08to the
00:54:09truth is
00:54:09conditional,
00:54:11act upon
00:54:11and engage
00:54:12in,
00:54:13sound
00:54:14decision-making,
00:54:15exercising
00:54:15good judgment,
00:54:16while loving
00:54:17and desiring,
00:54:18even showing
00:54:19an affinity
00:54:20for mutually
00:54:21beneficial,
00:54:22loving and
00:54:22affectionate
00:54:23relationships,
00:54:24even when
00:54:25sexuality is
00:54:27considered
00:54:27embarrassing,
00:54:28while also
00:54:29being bound
00:54:29up,
00:54:30traveling
00:54:30through
00:54:30life,
00:54:32walking
00:54:33with and
00:54:34near your
00:54:34God.
00:54:37Marvelous.
00:54:39So,
00:54:39what,
00:54:40we don't
00:54:42leave the
00:54:43prophet
00:54:43Micah
00:54:44answering
00:54:45questions
00:54:46regarding
00:54:47Yahweh
00:54:47prematurely.
00:54:48I would
00:54:49say that
00:54:50we should
00:54:51also consider
00:54:51what he
00:54:52has to
00:54:52say next.
00:54:53What do
00:54:54you think?
00:54:55This is
00:54:56what he
00:54:56wrote next.
00:54:57The voice
00:54:59of Yahweh
00:55:00to the
00:55:02inhabitants
00:55:02of the
00:55:03city,
00:55:03he invites
00:55:04and he
00:55:05summons,
00:55:06calling out
00:55:07while reading
00:55:09and reciting.
00:55:10So,
00:55:11the one
00:55:12successfully
00:55:13executing
00:55:14sound
00:55:16judgment
00:55:16who shows
00:55:18the capacity
00:55:19for
00:55:20understanding
00:55:21Yahweh.
00:55:23This is
00:55:24Tushiah.
00:55:26He is
00:55:27shown,
00:55:28he observes,
00:55:29he perceives,
00:55:31he revels
00:55:32in,
00:55:32and he
00:55:33reveals and
00:55:33delights
00:55:34in
00:55:36your name.
00:55:39Hmm.
00:55:412,500
00:55:42years
00:55:42have gone,
00:55:45come and
00:55:45gone,
00:55:46and there's
00:55:46only one
00:55:47person
00:55:47of whom
00:55:49that claim
00:55:50can be
00:55:51made.
00:55:53and you're
00:55:54listening to
00:55:54him and
00:55:55looking at
00:55:55him.
00:55:56He was
00:55:57the first
00:55:57person
00:55:58in 2,500
00:55:59years
00:56:00to celebrate
00:56:02Yahweh's
00:56:02name,
00:56:03to bring
00:56:04attention
00:56:05back to
00:56:05his name,
00:56:06to understand
00:56:07what his
00:56:07name means,
00:56:09to actually
00:56:10execute sound
00:56:11judgment and
00:56:12show the
00:56:13capacity to
00:56:14understand
00:56:14Yahweh.
00:56:16He was the
00:56:17one who was
00:56:17shown how
00:56:19to perceive
00:56:20and then
00:56:21reveal,
00:56:21as well as
00:56:22delight in
00:56:24your name.
00:56:28Pretty clear
00:56:29who that's
00:56:30talking about.
00:56:31The fellow
00:56:32that has
00:56:32the
00:56:32Yahweh.com
00:56:33website,
00:56:34the fellow
00:56:34that's written
00:56:3440 books
00:56:35called
00:56:36Yahweh.
00:56:37The fellow
00:56:38speaking to
00:56:38you now
00:56:39as part of
00:56:39the Yahweh
00:56:40vlog.
00:56:42Of your
00:56:42own free
00:56:43will,
00:56:44choose to
00:56:45listen to
00:56:46the
00:56:46Mate.
00:56:48who's
00:56:49the
00:56:49Mate?
00:56:50He's the
00:56:51branch.
00:56:52He's the
00:56:53staff.
00:56:54He's the
00:56:55rod.
00:56:56He is even
00:56:57the chief
00:56:58of staff
00:56:59who is
00:57:00extended.
00:57:01Sounds a lot
00:57:02like the
00:57:02Choder,
00:57:03doesn't it?
00:57:04So,
00:57:07who
00:57:10chose,
00:57:11selected,
00:57:12and appointed
00:57:14this?
00:57:18Who
00:57:20made that
00:57:21decision?
00:57:22Well,
00:57:22last time I
00:57:23checked,
00:57:24Leia's
00:57:24husband is
00:57:25the cold
00:57:26voice of
00:57:26Yahweh.
00:57:27He is the
00:57:28one who
00:57:28Kara invites
00:57:29and summons
00:57:30calling out
00:57:30while reading
00:57:31and reciting.
00:57:33He even
00:57:34came to
00:57:35this island
00:57:35on
00:57:36Kara.
00:57:38And since
00:57:39he is
00:57:40unique in
00:57:41this role
00:57:41and there
00:57:42is no
00:57:42one even
00:57:43remotely
00:57:43like him,
00:57:44not now
00:57:44and never
00:57:45has been,
00:57:47Yahweh
00:57:47affirms on
00:57:48behalf of
00:57:48those who
00:57:49are not
00:57:49as hostile
00:57:50to him
00:57:51as the,
00:57:51well,
00:57:52the woman
00:57:53who chose
00:57:55to be
00:57:55belligerent
00:57:56in this
00:57:56case,
00:57:57that his
00:57:58voice will,
00:57:59as the
00:57:59singular male,
00:58:01execute sound
00:58:02judgment while
00:58:03showing the
00:58:04capacity to
00:58:04understand
00:58:05Yahweh.
00:58:07And as
00:58:08a result,
00:58:10he was
00:58:10the first
00:58:11in 2,500
00:58:13years
00:58:14to
00:58:15Ra'ah
00:58:16to be
00:58:17shown,
00:58:17observed,
00:58:18perceived,
00:58:18reveal,
00:58:19and delight
00:58:19in Yahweh's
00:58:20name.
00:58:21But alas,
00:58:23where
00:58:23the
00:58:26malcontents
00:58:27are headed,
00:58:29they don't
00:58:29like any
00:58:31of this
00:58:31very much,
00:58:32and they
00:58:33changed
00:58:34Yahweh
00:58:35his name
00:58:36to manifest
00:58:38their own
00:58:38mommy
00:58:39delusions.
00:58:41Now,
00:58:42since then,
00:58:43they've just
00:58:44completely erased
00:58:44it.
00:58:45They've gone
00:58:45back to
00:58:47YHWH,
00:58:48which is
00:58:50a full
00:58:51violation of
00:58:52the third
00:58:52statement that
00:58:53Yahweh
00:58:53itched
00:58:53and stole.
00:58:54You can
00:58:55write it
00:58:56in Hebrew
00:58:56and assume
00:58:58people know
00:58:58how to
00:58:59pronounce
00:58:59the Hebrew
00:59:01letters,
00:59:02but you
00:59:03can't write
00:59:03it by
00:59:04replacing
00:59:05the Hebrew
00:59:05letters
00:59:06with English
00:59:07letters without
00:59:08providing the
00:59:10letters needed
00:59:10to pronounce
00:59:11it.
00:59:13It's an
00:59:14absolute
00:59:14violation of the
00:59:15third statement,
00:59:16Yahweh etched
00:59:16in stone.
00:59:17Anyway,
00:59:17God's suggestion
00:59:18is to
00:59:19listen to
00:59:21the
00:59:21maté,
00:59:21the branch,
00:59:22the staff,
00:59:22and the rod.
00:59:24This chief
00:59:25of staff
00:59:26who he has
00:59:26extended.
00:59:28The text
00:59:29continues,
00:59:30and it says,
00:59:30for how
00:59:30long must
00:59:31this
00:59:31individual
00:59:32be
00:59:33questioned
00:59:34as a
00:59:34witness
00:59:34by
00:59:36the
00:59:37house
00:59:37of the
00:59:37guilty
00:59:38and
00:59:39condemned
00:59:40by those
00:59:41who are
00:59:41wrong?
00:59:43This
00:59:43storehouse
00:59:44of vexing
00:59:45injustice
00:59:45and
00:59:46condemnable
00:59:47guilt
00:59:47along
00:59:48with a
00:59:48wasteful
00:59:49measure
00:59:49of
00:59:50incapacitating
00:59:51and
00:59:52emaciating
00:59:53disease
00:59:55needs
00:59:56to be
00:59:56angrily
00:59:58denounced
00:59:58and furiously
01:00:00cursed.
01:00:04You know,
01:00:05it doesn't
01:00:05matter where
01:00:05we turn.
01:00:06The
01:00:07malcontents
01:00:08direct us
01:00:08to something
01:00:09they misrepresent
01:00:10it,
01:00:11and you
01:00:12go back
01:00:12and you
01:00:13just look
01:00:13at what
01:00:14it was
01:00:14they cited,
01:00:15and every
01:00:16time,
01:00:17it's God
01:00:18saying,
01:00:18well,
01:00:19they're really
01:00:21antagonizing.
01:00:21I'm disgusted
01:00:23by them.
01:00:23I have no
01:00:25explanation as
01:00:26to why they
01:00:26act so
01:00:27belligerently,
01:00:27but I've
01:00:28got your
01:00:28back.
01:00:31Always,
01:00:32without
01:00:32exception.
01:00:33So,
01:00:34like I
01:00:34said,
01:00:35little
01:00:35Leah was
01:00:35right.
01:00:36And now
01:00:37as for
01:00:37this
01:00:40reprehensible
01:00:41woman,
01:00:41if it
01:00:42hadn't
01:00:42already
01:00:43happened,
01:00:44she is
01:00:45sure to
01:00:45be applauded
01:00:46by the
01:00:46we hate
01:00:47Leah cult
01:00:48too,
01:00:49because
01:00:50they're
01:00:50into
01:00:51worshipping
01:00:51their spirit
01:00:52mom.
01:00:53It is
01:00:54comprised of
01:00:55frigid
01:00:55women
01:00:56who live
01:00:58in
01:00:58loveless
01:00:59marriages
01:00:59and
01:01:00lives,
01:01:01they're
01:01:02religious
01:01:02prudes,
01:01:03and they
01:01:04are similarly
01:01:05fooled.
01:01:05So,
01:01:07she would
01:01:07be right
01:01:08at home
01:01:09in that
01:01:11group.
01:01:12Now,
01:01:13a misconception
01:01:15regarding our
01:01:16relationship with
01:01:16God began
01:01:17when a
01:01:19modesty
01:01:19agenda,
01:01:20which I
01:01:20tried to
01:01:21correct with
01:01:21a better
01:01:22translation,
01:01:23but it
01:01:24was received
01:01:25so poorly
01:01:26that we
01:01:27were given
01:01:28the choice
01:01:28between
01:01:29ignoring a
01:01:30misconception
01:01:31that led
01:01:33to a
01:01:33tragic
01:01:34outcome
01:01:34for
01:01:35many
01:01:36now
01:01:36two
01:01:36years
01:01:37ago,
01:01:38are
01:01:39confronting
01:01:40it with
01:01:40a very
01:01:41stark
01:01:42and seldom
01:01:43considered
01:01:44reality
01:01:46regarding
01:01:46Eden's
01:01:48past
01:01:49and future.
01:01:50So,
01:01:51rather than
01:01:51stand back
01:01:52and let
01:01:52such
01:01:53misconceptions
01:01:54lead others
01:01:54away,
01:01:55we decided
01:01:56to double
01:01:56down
01:01:57with some
01:01:58jolting
01:01:59realism,
01:02:00sadly,
01:02:02humankind
01:02:02has been
01:02:02so subjected
01:02:04to religion
01:02:05that it
01:02:06is ubiquitous
01:02:07in our
01:02:07culture,
01:02:08and in
01:02:09Christianity,
01:02:09Judaism,
01:02:10and Islam,
01:02:11sexuality,
01:02:12and nudism,
01:02:13or nudity,
01:02:15are considered
01:02:16sense,
01:02:17but that's
01:02:17not the
01:02:18case with
01:02:18the Iowa.
01:02:20It was
01:02:21meant to
01:02:22be
01:02:22uncomfortable,
01:02:25if it
01:02:26was,
01:02:27then
01:02:28more of
01:02:29us
01:02:30would
01:02:30become
01:02:31comfortable
01:02:32with
01:02:32Yahuwah.
01:02:33But
01:02:34the reason
01:02:35people can't
01:02:36get comfortable
01:02:37with nudity
01:02:38and with
01:02:39exposure to
01:02:41God is
01:02:41they have
01:02:42really hideous
01:02:43things they're
01:02:44trying to
01:02:44hide.
01:02:45And the
01:02:45more you
01:02:45realize that
01:02:46Doe carried
01:02:47our guilt
01:02:48into Sheol,
01:02:49the more
01:02:49comfortable you
01:02:50are being
01:02:51exposed to
01:02:51God,
01:02:53the more
01:02:54comfortable you
01:02:54are in
01:02:54his presence,
01:02:55and the less
01:02:57comfortable you
01:02:57are with
01:02:57man's ways.
01:02:59we have
01:03:00those among
01:03:01us,
01:03:02as once
01:03:02before,
01:03:03who would
01:03:03treat women
01:03:04and loving
01:03:05relationships
01:03:06religiously,
01:03:07prudishly,
01:03:08negatively.
01:03:10We are
01:03:11committed to
01:03:13preparing those
01:03:14who will
01:03:15re-enter
01:03:15Eden with
01:03:17what they
01:03:18will experience
01:03:19in Eden,
01:03:20and therefore
01:03:21we need to
01:03:21be frank
01:03:22with them.
01:03:24and if
01:03:26the
01:03:26numbskulls
01:03:27want to
01:03:27convey a
01:03:29different
01:03:29agenda,
01:03:30and they
01:03:31want to
01:03:32hashtag my
01:03:32name so
01:03:33as to
01:03:34discredit
01:03:36what I
01:03:37have to
01:03:37say about
01:03:38what I
01:03:38was trying
01:03:39to achieve,
01:03:40then we
01:03:41cannot stay
01:03:42silent.
01:03:44So,
01:03:45our
01:03:46preceding
01:03:47review was
01:03:48quite reassuring,
01:03:49but there
01:03:51is another,
01:03:52one far
01:03:53more provocative,
01:03:54especially as
01:03:56an illustration
01:03:57for Yahweh's
01:03:58disdain for
01:03:59modest,
01:04:00prudish
01:04:01behavior.
01:04:02And it
01:04:03is by
01:04:04surveying
01:04:05this narrative
01:04:06that we
01:04:06find the
01:04:07perfect
01:04:08rebuttal to
01:04:09the mommy
01:04:10goddesses who
01:04:11are dashing
01:04:13their every
01:04:14assertion and
01:04:15tossing it
01:04:18into the
01:04:19rubbish.
01:04:20It is
01:04:21essential
01:04:22that we
01:04:24show
01:04:25what
01:04:26God
01:04:27wants us
01:04:28to do,
01:04:29to think,
01:04:31to feel,
01:04:32to act,
01:04:34to engage,
01:04:35and that we
01:04:36do not
01:04:36allow any
01:04:37religious,
01:04:39conspiratorial,
01:04:40false,
01:04:41misleading
01:04:42rubbish to
01:04:43clear,
01:04:44to
01:04:45corrupt
01:04:46that
01:04:46path.
01:04:49And so
01:04:50there is
01:04:50a jewel
01:04:52of a
01:04:53historical
01:04:53portrait that
01:04:54has become
01:04:54prophetic
01:04:55in this
01:04:57regard.
01:04:58So when
01:04:59it comes
01:04:59to acting
01:05:00upon Yahweh's
01:05:01instructions
01:05:01to celebrate
01:05:03with God
01:05:05and to
01:05:06learn from
01:05:07him,
01:05:082 Samuel
01:05:096 is
01:05:10a gold
01:05:11mine.
01:05:12It begins
01:05:13with a
01:05:14loving
01:05:14embrace
01:05:15of the
01:05:16Aaron
01:05:16of the
01:05:17covenant,
01:05:18but quickly
01:05:19descends
01:05:20into missing
01:05:21the intent
01:05:21of what
01:05:23everyone was
01:05:24witnessing.
01:05:25It is
01:05:26then that
01:05:26the story
01:05:27evolves
01:05:27into
01:05:28correcting
01:05:29one's
01:05:30mistake
01:05:30and to
01:05:31finally
01:05:31moving
01:05:32on in
01:05:33a way
01:05:33that speaks
01:05:34prophetically
01:05:35to us
01:05:36in this
01:05:37day and
01:05:38in this
01:05:39situation.
01:05:40and there
01:05:41are some
01:05:44things in
01:05:462 Samuel
01:05:476 that
01:05:48are just
01:05:49breathtaking
01:05:49and their
01:05:51prophetic
01:05:51implications.
01:05:53Now what's
01:05:54particularly
01:05:55interesting about
01:05:56this prophetic
01:05:57portrayal
01:05:57is its
01:05:59proximity
01:06:00to the
01:06:01very first
01:06:02passage that
01:06:03I translated
01:06:0525 years
01:06:07ago.
01:06:10A
01:06:10discussion
01:06:11between
01:06:12Yawa and
01:06:12Dode,
01:06:13which has
01:06:14become,
01:06:15well,
01:06:16my favorite.
01:06:17And yet if I
01:06:18had ventured
01:06:19into the
01:06:20dramatic
01:06:21preamble to
01:06:22it prior to
01:06:23this time,
01:06:24I might well
01:06:25have done
01:06:26as Dode
01:06:27did and
01:06:28missed the
01:06:28point of
01:06:29the story,
01:06:30or at least
01:06:31until such
01:06:32time as
01:06:33it was
01:06:34explained to
01:06:35him.
01:06:37So now
01:06:38after all
01:06:39of this
01:06:40time,
01:06:4025 years,
01:06:42and considering
01:06:42all that we
01:06:43have learned
01:06:44along the
01:06:44way,
01:06:45it's never
01:06:46been more
01:06:47appropriate for
01:06:48us to
01:06:48consider one
01:06:49of the most
01:06:50extraordinary
01:06:50episodes in
01:06:52Dode's life
01:06:53with Yawa
01:06:54and how God
01:06:55shaped the
01:06:56narrative to
01:06:58sever one
01:06:59of the most
01:07:01one of
01:07:02the most
01:07:02relevant
01:07:03prophecies
01:07:05and learning
01:07:07experiences of
01:07:08our time.
01:07:09So as we
01:07:10journey back
01:07:11into the
01:07:11second book
01:07:13of Shamuel,
01:07:15I want to
01:07:16share several
01:07:17thoughts with
01:07:18you.
01:07:18The first
01:07:19is that
01:07:20this is
01:07:21among the
01:07:22most malign
01:07:23text I
01:07:25have ever
01:07:25witnessed
01:07:26when correcting
01:07:28it to the
01:07:28Dead Sea
01:07:28Scrolls.
01:07:334Q50 or
01:07:354Q5-1-Sam
01:07:41is, well,
01:07:43bears very
01:07:44little resemblance
01:07:45to the
01:07:45Masoretic
01:07:46text, and
01:07:48it corrects
01:07:50almost as
01:07:50much as
01:07:51it confirms.
01:07:53Second,
01:07:55while I
01:07:55realized that
01:07:56there were
01:07:57some profoundly
01:07:59important
01:07:59insights to
01:08:00share regarding
01:08:02Dode and
01:08:03the conveyance
01:08:04of the
01:08:04Aaron of
01:08:05the
01:08:05Barath, I
01:08:07was amazed
01:08:08by just how
01:08:10instructive
01:08:10this narrative
01:08:11is for our
01:08:13current situation.
01:08:15this is beyond
01:08:17anything we
01:08:19have read
01:08:19this far in
01:08:20terms of
01:08:22specificity.
01:08:23And while I'm
01:08:24sure that
01:08:26everything happened
01:08:27this way, I'm
01:08:28even more
01:08:29certain that
01:08:29this story
01:08:31was told to
01:08:32be prophetic
01:08:33and all of
01:08:35its profoundly
01:08:37important and
01:08:39revealing
01:08:39implications,
01:08:40right down to
01:08:42the smallest
01:08:43details.
01:08:45It is
01:08:46magnificent.
01:08:47We're at an
01:08:48hour and
01:08:49eight minutes
01:08:49into our
01:08:50program.
01:08:51We typically
01:08:51try to leave
01:08:52these at around
01:08:53an hour's time.
01:08:54So I'm
01:08:55going to
01:08:55share this
01:08:55next statement
01:08:56to give us
01:08:57something to
01:08:57think about
01:08:58and we'll
01:08:58return to
01:08:59it at this
01:09:00time tomorrow.
01:09:03It reads
01:09:04once again,
01:09:06Dode gathered
01:09:07all of the
01:09:08chosen,
01:09:09the desirable
01:09:10and the
01:09:12tested
01:09:12of Yisrael.
01:09:15Some
01:09:1530,000.
01:09:18This is
01:09:19Samuel.
01:09:20Listen to him.
01:09:202 Samuel
01:09:216.1.
01:09:23At this
01:09:24point,
01:09:25there were
01:09:25likely a
01:09:27million
01:09:28Israelites.
01:09:29So this
01:09:31was just a
01:09:32cross-section
01:09:33of them.
01:09:34And we
01:09:35don't know
01:09:36if Bacar
01:09:37is revealing
01:09:38that these
01:09:39are those
01:09:40that Dode
01:09:41chose,
01:09:42that he
01:09:43tested,
01:09:44or if they
01:09:45were deemed
01:09:45to be the
01:09:46best by
01:09:47others.
01:09:49Nevertheless,
01:09:49this is
01:09:51still a
01:09:51fairly
01:09:52significant
01:09:53gathering,
01:09:54especially
01:09:54for the
01:09:55time,
01:09:55for the
01:09:56route,
01:09:57and for
01:09:58the intended
01:09:58destination.
01:10:00Beyond
01:10:01all of
01:10:02this,
01:10:02the
01:10:03quantification
01:10:04of Bacar,
01:10:06the chosen,
01:10:06could be
01:10:07indicative
01:10:08of that
01:10:10which
01:10:11follows
01:10:12as it
01:10:13was
01:10:13presented
01:10:14for the
01:10:15best and
01:10:16brightest
01:10:16of today.
01:10:20that's
01:10:21a lot
01:10:21of
01:10:21people
01:10:21though.
01:10:23Expressly
01:10:23excluding
01:10:24the
01:10:24dimwits
01:10:25and the
01:10:25naysayers,
01:10:26apart from
01:10:27the numbers,
01:10:27we can
01:10:28say that
01:10:29yes,
01:10:29God is
01:10:29still
01:10:30trying to
01:10:30gather
01:10:31on behalf
01:10:32of his
01:10:32beloved
01:10:33son,
01:10:33Dode,
01:10:34the
01:10:36best and
01:10:36the
01:10:36brightest,
01:10:37the most
01:10:37responsive
01:10:39of people.
01:10:40So setting
01:10:41the scene,
01:10:42our king
01:10:42our king
01:10:43was leading
01:10:44the procession
01:10:45away from
01:10:46the Lord's
01:10:48influence based
01:10:49upon where
01:10:50the ark
01:10:51was coming
01:10:51from.
01:10:52We have
01:10:53a much
01:10:53clearer
01:10:54affirmation
01:10:54of this
01:10:55based upon
01:10:55the reading
01:10:56found in
01:10:57the Dead
01:10:57Sea Scrolls
01:10:58which adds
01:10:59considerable
01:11:00insight to
01:11:00this narrative
01:11:01and okay,
01:11:03I'm going
01:11:03to read
01:11:04this next
01:11:05statement since
01:11:06I walked
01:11:06right into
01:11:07it.
01:11:07When Dode
01:11:08rose,
01:11:09standing up
01:11:09and walking
01:11:10all of
01:11:11the people
01:11:11who for
01:11:12the benefit
01:11:12of the
01:11:12relationship
01:11:13who were
01:11:14with him
01:11:15left
01:11:16Bali,
01:11:17my Lord.
01:11:19Now,
01:11:21one of
01:11:22the things
01:11:22I have
01:11:22learned
01:11:23is that
01:11:24not only
01:11:25do Hebrew
01:11:26words have
01:11:26a dark
01:11:27and light
01:11:27side and
01:11:28Baal is
01:11:29one of
01:11:29them,
01:11:30that the
01:11:31primary
01:11:32definition
01:11:33of Baal
01:11:34isn't
01:11:34Lord,
01:11:36it's
01:11:36husband.
01:11:37And so
01:11:38this could
01:11:39have been
01:11:39and should
01:11:39have been
01:11:39rendered,
01:11:41I left,
01:11:43they left
01:11:44my husband.
01:11:47Yahweh
01:11:47himself
01:11:48refers to
01:11:49himself as
01:11:51the Baal
01:11:51of Israel,
01:11:53saying that
01:11:54from his
01:11:55perspective,
01:11:56they were
01:11:56married and
01:11:57he was
01:11:58their husband.
01:11:59And so
01:12:00it is a
01:12:01term that
01:12:01has really
01:12:02very positive
01:12:03meanings,
01:12:04being a
01:12:05husband in
01:12:06the proper
01:12:06way and
01:12:07supportive of
01:12:08one's wife,
01:12:08within the
01:12:10covenant and
01:12:11raising children
01:12:11and showing
01:12:12the proper
01:12:12example of
01:12:13what it is
01:12:14to be a
01:12:14husband is
01:12:15something that
01:12:15Yahweh really,
01:12:17really cares
01:12:17deeply about.
01:12:19And yet
01:12:21acting like
01:12:22the Lord,
01:12:23not so much.
01:12:24And so
01:12:24what did,
01:12:26but understand
01:12:27that the term
01:12:28Lord for the
01:12:29day,
01:12:30it's used by
01:12:31virtually all the
01:12:32prophets.
01:12:32Do it even
01:12:33refers to
01:12:33Yahweh under
01:12:34Adonai.
01:12:36and so
01:12:37the Lord
01:12:38title was
01:12:40also ascribed
01:12:41to God.
01:12:42It was like
01:12:43saying,
01:12:44sir,
01:12:44it's a sign
01:12:45of respect,
01:12:47recognition that
01:12:48he is the
01:12:49owner of the
01:12:50universe.
01:12:53And so
01:12:54to have an
01:12:55appreciation for
01:12:56words,
01:12:57you have to be
01:12:57careful
01:12:59in making
01:13:00certain that
01:13:01you realize
01:13:02there is a
01:13:03dark and light
01:13:03side and that
01:13:04you have to
01:13:05apply the
01:13:05right aspect.
01:13:07So the
01:13:07Ark of the
01:13:08Covenant,
01:13:09the Aaron
01:13:10Barath was
01:13:13from their
01:13:14perspective
01:13:15at my
01:13:17husband.
01:13:17And my
01:13:18husband at
01:13:18this time
01:13:19would have
01:13:20described
01:13:20Yahweh.
01:13:22The fact
01:13:23that Satan
01:13:24covets the
01:13:25things of God
01:13:26is just
01:13:27something we
01:13:28have to deal
01:13:28with and
01:13:29understand why
01:13:30that's the
01:13:30case.
01:13:31So this
01:13:32was
01:13:33Ariath,
01:13:35Ya'arim,
01:13:37the town
01:13:38of forested
01:13:38thickets,
01:13:39which belongs
01:13:40to Yahudah,
01:13:42the beloved
01:13:43of Yah.
01:13:44Therefore,
01:13:45the
01:13:47Bali,
01:13:48my husband,
01:13:50was in
01:13:51the
01:13:51garden
01:13:53woods
01:13:53of Yahudah,
01:13:55the beloved
01:13:56of Yah.
01:13:57And they
01:13:58would ascend
01:13:58from there
01:14:00with
01:14:02the
01:14:02Aaron.
01:14:03Behold the
01:14:04harvest
01:14:06of
01:14:06the
01:14:07Almighty.
01:14:08Aaron.
01:14:09Behold the
01:14:10harvest.
01:14:10Notice all
01:14:11things pertaining
01:14:12to the
01:14:13ingathering.
01:14:14It's from
01:14:14Aru,
01:14:15behold,
01:14:16and Ara,
