0:00:00 - 0:00:27 And when you ask that question, go back to the other video to hear the question, he will answer it. And revelation tends to be continuous and sequential and uh it's line upon line, but it's also focus upon focus like when you're, you're looking into a camera and you're focusing it, um it gets better 0:00:27 - 0:00:51 and better over time. And this is another limitation that we place upon God. When we say I will only hear messages if they're in a completed and perfect form. And if that's your attitude, I guess you, you're just gonna throw the scriptures away because there's all kinds of stuff in there that is uh not 0:00:50 - 0:01:12 expressed in perfect finality. And you're never going to listen to any messenger God ever sends you because even when he comes himself, he has to express things line upon line because of where you are. And so if you're requiring the final truth, we're talking about mouth shutting, that's gonna shut his 0:01:12 - 0:01:33 mouth. But the point of mouth shutting, this theme, I'm talking about people shutting their mouths at the res at the in response to the revelation of greater things from God. So I guess let's get back on to that topic. But I wanna give you like, I wanna give you these jewels and these tools because you 0:01:32 - 0:02:05 might not realize the worth of them, but I am just flinging them at you all the time and their tools as well. They're valuable jewels and their valuable tools. My um my wife is uh very supportive of many of my eccentricities. And one of those is that years ago, every time I went to Lowe's or Home Depot 0:02:04 - 0:02:28 , I'd buy a shovel or I'd buy a rake, uh, and a bucket. And it didn't matter why I was in Home Depot or Lowe's, I was just like, oh, I, I need another shovel. I need another rig. And, uh, when the aftermath of COVID started unfolding, I came home one day and I said, do you have any idea how expensive 0:02:28 - 0:02:53 shovels are now? And she guessed like five times before she got it because that's how high it was compared to what it used to be. And, uh, and I said it's a good thing. We have so many shovels. Huh? And she said, yeah, you're right about that one because I'm not always right about everything and, um 0:02:52 - 0:03:14 , tools, you know, that a shovel would be worth a lot if you were suddenly in a situation where you had to grow all your food by hand, wouldn't it? And, and there's no gas, there were no stores and you don't know how to where to find iron ore or how to smelt it or how to make a shaft or whatever. So 0:03:13 - 0:03:50 the value of things is not always apparent, but the unfolding increasing shares of the fullness of what could be reveals the worth of things incrementally. Ok. So Isaiah 5215. So shall he Sprinkle many nations? The king shall shut their mouths at him for that which had not been told them, shall they 0:03:50 - 0:04:09 see? And that which they had not heard, shall they consider? And so in my own study, I have asked a lot of questions about scriptural meanings. And why was this word used? And what's the Hebrew and why you know what are the other senses of the Greek and all these other things? And could this be rendered 0:04:09 - 0:04:31 more plainly? And in this interactive process, I've generated text and refined text and I go back to it every time God teaches me something new, I keep it reconciled to my present sincere understanding. And in my reflection, I would currently today render this text as follows. This is not a translation 0:04:30 - 0:04:57 . This is just my reflection um through the ideas he disseminates from heaven as a priest flinging blood oil and water onto the object he sanctifies. He will end the smugness of the false security previously enjoyed by many nations. Even the greatest among them will shut their mouths because they will 0:04:57 - 0:05:24 see what they had never been shown and they will understand what they had never before considered. Now, I don't want to expound on the first sentence and that right now, but this is about the end time servant and the references to the sprinkling, that's a very rich word in Hebrew. I said, I'm not gonna 0:05:24 - 0:05:43 expound about up on it. And here I go, I won't say all things about this that I'd like to right now. But the sprinkling, it's not, it doesn't mean Sprinkle. It's what the priest did with this hyssop which is a plant and they dipped it in blood oil and water according to prescriptions of ordinances. And 0:05:43 - 0:00:00 they, they, it's the word the verb used for what the high priest did on the ark of the covenant and on sacrifices and to sanctify objects that were used in the temple. It's the word used when you take the blood of the lamb on uh just prior to the Exodus and you put it on the, the lintel of the door. 0:00:00 - 0:06:30 Um So blood oil and water are all different symbols of different aspects of what God provides. And um well, you know, we'll leave that at, at that, but that ending the smugness of false security previously enjoyed by many nations is really important. Um That sense is in the Hebrew, the, the, it's a little 0:06:30 - 0:06:54 extrapolation. It, it mixes in ideas from other places in the scriptures, particularly Isaiah. It's a theme, but um it's not just that he like sprinkles nations, right? This this person, this end times character, the servant of God, this priest, he in doing so in revealing what he reveals, remember how 0:06:53 - 0:07:14 Gabriel came and just standing there, he didn't even say anything, just standing there before he said anything. Daniel's comeliness turned to corruption. The comeliness of the world is complete corruption. Daniels was his best attempt at finding and following righteousness from God. The world is Babylon 0:07:14 - 0:07:37 , it's fallen. Everything's an illusion, it's false, it doesn't endure, it's made up. Um The, the glory of the world is a social construct. Everything else that they say, maybe not so much, but it will all come crashing down. And uh anyway, um ironically, it's these things are coupled because when truth 0:07:36 - 0:07:59 is revealed, consequences come with it and all of a sudden what was sufficient to withstand the very much held back, share of reality becomes insufficient and it collapses. And um there are reasons for why the collapse is so sudden. But um anyway, that's not what I want to talk about. I wanna end this 0:07:59 - 0:08:14 on this thought that what, what the reason I bring this up is about the shutting of the mouths because I wanna tell you don't do that, right? And I've kind of told you how this might not look how you would think it would look if you just read the words and thought, what does this look like? Um But you 0:08:14 - 0:08:42 probably do this. Ok. That's a finger wag. Um, you probably do this and you really shouldn't, you really shouldn't. So, um. Right. What does this mean to shut their mouths? What does it mean? Um, it would go back to the word astonished. They're so shocked at what they've been told because it's so different 0:08:41 - 0:09:05 from whatever they've been told, but also because it suddenly takes everything they thought they knew and just makes it look like a paper bag lunch. Like, who even cares, right? Who even cares? You need to understand, you know, end time servant, whatever. Let's talk about Jesus. That's the point of all 0:09:04 - 0:09:26 of it when he came to that woman at the, well, all he did was say, ah, you're not married right now but you're with a guy and you've been with a bunch of other guys. Do you know what she said to her people back in town? She said, I found the Messiah because he told me everything I've ever done. This 0:09:26 - 0:09:49 is really sad. I don't know the lady but I feel bad for her because she identified everything she'd ever done with the seven guys she had slept with. That's pretty, that's pretty sad. But, um, that she didn't have more meaning in her life. But, um, that's how she interpreted it. It was so huge. What 0:09:49 - 0:10:09 she re everyone reacts to the, the blasting of light differently. But she reacted to this tiny chunk by saying I have found the Messiah and you should come hear him. So we talked before about the role other people can have in promulgating God's word and his glory and his goodness and his character. This 0:10:08 - 0:00:00 is an example. He got an in with all the other people there in Samaria through this lady. And she was willing to say, hey, this is she didn't, she didn't exaggerate in in she exaggerated. Let's be honest. She but she said look, this is a real conversation to have with the guy. This is what happened. 0:00:00 - 0:10:48 If you do what I asked you to and you read John Nine, it's a much better example. That guy never exaggerated what Jesus did. He went step by step acknowledging exactly what he had seen to the level he had seen it and that was enough for them to throw him out of their church but doesn't take much with 0:00:00 - 0:00:27 And when you ask that question, go back to the other video to hear the question, he will answer it. And revelation tends to be continuous and sequential and uh it's line upon line, but it's also focus upon focus like when you're, you're looking into a camera and you're focusing it, um it gets better 0:00:27 - 0:00:51 and better over time.
