Help them to get into a good church if they're not already, Lord. For your honor and glory, it's in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
All right, next up we're going to do song 213, There is Glory in My Soul.
213, There is Glory in My Soul.
🎵Music🎵
Good singing. If you didn't already get a bullets in you'd like one, lift up your hand nice and high.
On the front we have our Bible memory passage. We're trying to wrap up Proverbs 31. We're getting really close.
If you have not received your prize but you have completed the entire passage, you can see me or brother Jason and we can help you with that.
Also on the inside we have our service times, our soul winning times, church stats. Make sure you're turning in your soul winning numbers to your soul winning captains.
On the right is a list of several expecting ladies. Please be in prayer for them.
We have a prayer list as well if you'd like to be added. Please just email us. You can send in with the title, prayer request.
If it is private please indicate otherwise we assume it is public. On the back we have upcoming events. This Saturday is going to be a preaching class.
April 29th is a homeschool field trip and we really need you to sign up today.
Technically you could still sign up on Wednesday but we need you to sign up today. So if you want to participate, sign up.
You need to have at least one child that is five years and older and is homeschooled.
If you do have that, if you meet that criterion, the whole family is welcome and the whole family will be provided for completely.
Also there is going to be a lunch. It is also provided for but that's why we need you to sign up.
That way we can make sure we have everything prepared for you guys. Make sure to be there at 10 a.m. or earlier.
Sometimes it's actually a little crowded and so if you think like the GPS is telling you at a certain time,
you probably need to add at least 15, 20 minutes at least just to make sure you get there.
That would be like getting there right at times. So it just sometimes can be a little crowded getting in.
Also we will be meeting at the front entrance. So just keep that in mind. Please sign up.
Baby shower is going to be on May 4th from 1230 p.m. to 230 p.m. for the Hernandez and their baby boy, Micaiah.
I really like that name. He never does prophesy good about Joe Biden.
RSVP to Ms. Milstead and it's nursing zone preferred. If you'd like to bring a dessert or dish, you can.
Of course you don't have to bring anything but if you'd like to, you're more than welcome.
Yesterday we had a great soul winning event. I didn't get an exact count but we had probably around 75, 80 people in total come out.
A lot of people with their families come out for soul winning yesterday.
We had people from Louisiana, a couple churches that are over there.
We had evangelists for down there with us and brother Theo Theodore from Oklahoma City.
And so oh yeah, there you go. And so it's great to have them out there with us.
And we had a lot of you guys, a lot of people from our church.
And we ended up on the bullets and it says 114, but someone also turned in another five to me this morning.
So we had 119 in Shreveport. So praise the Lord on that.
Yeah, that place is just, you know, a really fun place to go soul winning.
And so thank you so much to everybody that prayed.
Thank you to everybody that drove out there and participated with us.
And it was a great, great day, great harvest. It was really perfect weather and everything went super amazing.
When we were at the park, I started making these announcements and notice like someone's trying to have a like a birthday party right next to us or whatever.
But then brother Ben talked to them and I guess they were actually Baptist.
And so they were like really appreciative and they liked us.
And so you know what? There's a lot of Baptist out there, folks.
OK, but we need to get more to get the Baptist bias.
All right. That's an extra plug.
That's pretty much all I have as far as announcements.
We'll go ahead and sing our third song this morning.
It's gonna be Psalm one hundred and nineteen.
Of course, it's not the entire one, but don't get too nervous, right?
It's a section of Psalm one hundred and nineteen.
Sing it out nice and loud.
Psalm 119.
On to my.
Right.
Judge.
Very much.
But to.
I.
My word is.
I.
Teach me.
I.
Get.
I.
Singing everybody go ahead and turn your Bibles to Hebrews chapter number eight.
Hebrews chapter number eight.
I.
Hebrews eight, the Bible reads.
The things which we have spoken this is the sum.
We have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens.
A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices.
Wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
For if he were on earth he should not be a priest.
Seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law.
Who serve under the example and shadow of heavenly things as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle.
For see saith he that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant which was established upon better promises.
For if that first covenant had been faultless then should no place have been sought for the second.
For finding fault with them he saith behold the days come saith the Lord when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
Because they continued not in my covenant and I regarded them not saith the Lord.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days saith the Lord.
I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people.
And they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying no the Lord.
For all shall know me from the least to the greatest.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
In that he saith a new covenant he hath made the first old.
Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer.
Father in heaven we thank you Lord for this day and for this church.
I pray that you fill Pastor Shelley with the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit as he preaches to us.
Soften hearts in the room Lord and open ears so that we can receive the message that you've laid on the man of God's heart.
Love you and in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Amen.
The book of Hebrews really deals with kind of this transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament specifically.
And it explains a lot of things that were happening in the Old Testament.
How they're either fulfilled, changed, altered or representative of things in heaven and the New Testament and the new covenant specifically.
And chapter number eight is pretty interesting because I don't feel like a lot of people preach on this chapter because it's kind of just a summary.
In the sense that like all the information that we've kind of learned in chapters one through seven is being summarized again in chapter number eight.
It's not really necessarily a lot of new information.
But what I like about chapter eight is it's kind of trying to put everything together in one cohesive narrative to kind of understand here.
And I want to kind of go through a lot of Hebrews this morning.
So we're going to kind of go through chapters eight, nine, ten a little bit.
But what I want to talk about is the true tabernacle, the true tabernacle.
Notice what it says in verse number two.
A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man.
The Bible describes a true tabernacle.
Now what is a tabernacle?
That's kind of an odd word.
We don't really use that word.
The word tabernacle is kind of in a basic sense just a dwelling place or it's a habitation.
Sometimes these words are used interchangeably in the Bible.
Specifically when we talk about God's tabernacle sometimes it's referred to as the sanctuary.
That doesn't mean that the tabernacle is always a sanctuary.
Tabernacle is kind of just a really basic word that's just describing some kind of a structure in a place where someone dwells or people exist or people go.
So tabernacle could be used in so many different ways.
You could say that your house is a tabernacle.
You could say your bedroom is a tabernacle.
You could say a tent is a tabernacle.
You could say a church building is a tabernacle.
So I don't want you to get confused on this word and think that it has a specific meaning.
Tabernacle is defined by its context in the sense that it's just a very basic word.
A simple word to just kind of describe some kind of a dwelling place or place that people that go, exist, live or are at.
And when we talk about the true tabernacle, what we're talking about is we're talking about the dwelling place of God.
The true dwelling place of God.
Because on earth, Moses and the children of Israel, they were wandering through the wilderness and they had a kind of like a tent-style tabernacle that they had set up.
And God would come down and He would dwell there in a sense, but that wasn't really the true tabernacle.
Then King David built a temple.
And of course that is supposed to be a place where God would exist or dwell.
But again, that wasn't the true tabernacle.
You even have the rebuilding of the temple and yet that still was not the true tabernacle.
And that's why when we talk about specifically here in this chapter, the true tabernacle, we're not talking about anything on earth, we're talking about something in heaven.
And this is a very important doctrine because it helps us identify why certain things exist on earth and why they shouldn't exist on earth as well.
Now in verse 1 of chapter 8 here, it's talking about Jesus.
It says, Now the things that we have spoken, this is the sum, we have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens.
The Bible constantly describes Jesus Christ right now as seating to the right hand of God the Father on a throne.
Where is this throne? This throne is in the true tabernacle in heaven.
So the Bible describes that there is a true tabernacle in heaven and in the midst of that tabernacle is a throne and seated on the throne is God and seated at the right hand of God is Jesus Christ.
That's what the Bible describes often and over and over again in all kinds of different passages and different places.
But this is my point 1 and I want to just prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt but that God lives in the temple in heaven.
God dwells in the tabernacle in heaven. God is in the true tabernacle in heaven.
That's where He is, okay? That's what the Bible constantly affirms and describes specifically about God dwelling in a tabernacle in heaven.
Now let's keep reading here a little bit. Let's read verse number 3.
The Bible says, For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices, wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Who's this man? This is the man Christ Jesus, okay?
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law, who serve under the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle.
For see, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
According to the Bible, Jesus Christ is the high priest.
But he just explained in chapter number 7 that Jesus is the high priest of Melchizedek, not of the order of Aaron.
Now as I go through these things, I'm going to try my best to explain them but this is a little bit deeper of a sermon. This is a more doctrinal style sermon.
But I want you to try and go to the places I'm going and so you can kind of understand.
Keep your finger here and go to Exodus chapter 25, go to Exodus chapter 25.
I just want you to scream about how bad Biden is. Biden sucks, there you go, alright?
There was your moment, okay? But now we're going to talk about the Bible for a little while, alright?
Exodus 25, I want to show you verse number 8. The Bible says this.
And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them, according to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
So when Moses built a tabernacle here on the earth, he wasn't just making it from scratch or building some new construction.
What the Bible says is that God literally showed Moses the true tabernacle in heaven.
And he said, this is how I want you to make it. This is what I want you to make. This is what you're going to create.
And so he made a tabernacle that was supposed to be after the pattern of the one in heaven.
And I'm getting deep again. What does the word pattern mean, okay?
Pattern is a plan, a diagram, or a model to be followed in making things, okay?
So it's a plan, diagram, or model to be followed in making things.
So the tabernacle in heaven was the true original model and that they were copying it, okay?
And if you even look at pattern like synonyms, here are synonyms for the word pattern.
Model, example, copy, original, sample.
So in fact, a synonym for the word pattern is original.
Why? Because there is the original temple in heaven and they're making a copy of it.
Now this is good doctrine because this is how we got our Bible.
There is a real Bible in heaven and man, we're getting a copy of it from heaven, okay?
We have a pattern of the Bible in heaven, okay?
And so just like the tabernacle, we're getting a copy of this.
Go to verse 40 in this chapter for a moment.
Verse number 40, the last verse of the chapter.
And look that they'll make them after their pattern which was showed thee in the mount.
There is a real tabernacle in heaven.
There is a real dwelling place for the Lord in heaven and it was not made by man,
it was made by the Lord Jesus Christ, okay?
And we are copying his pattern.
Now go back if you went to Hebrews chapter number 8.
So at the end of the day, basically we're all just trying to be like China
and just copying everybody else's patterns, okay?
So, you know, they don't really necessarily invent products but they copy them
and they're really good at manufacturing them because they make like everything basically.
Moses was supposed to make this example, this tabernacle, this dwelling place of the Lord.
Now, I just want to read just a little bit more but then I want to go to Revelation.
But it says in verse number 6,
Now here's what the text is saying.
The text is saying that the first covenant is the Old Testament
and he wants to make a new covenant which we know as the New Testament
and he says there was a problem with the Old Testament.
The problem with the Old Testament was that people are sinners.
That was the essence.
People can't keep the law.
There's nothing wrong with the law.
The law is perfect, the law is spiritual, the law is just, the law is holy
but unfortunately man is incapable of keeping the law.
That's why you can't go to heaven by repenting of your sins
because no one can keep the law perfectly.
Therefore, there was a place sought for a second which is a better,
which is called grace and mercy that came by Jesus Christ.
It's the gospel of Jesus Christ and that covenant,
notice what it says specifically in verse number 8,
the new covenant is with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
You know, some people would say that they don't like this term replacement theology.
And they say, oh, you think that the church replaced the Jews.
Now here's the thing, I don't mind that terminology.
I think it's helpful.
But in a sense, it's not that God didn't offer the New Testament
or the new covenant to the Jews or to the children of Israel.
It was actually offered directly to them.
It's their covenant.
You know, they say like, oh, they have their covenant.
Yeah, their covenant is the New Testament.
The children of Israel's covenant is the new covenant, is the New Testament.
They're not offered the old covenant because it's not offered to anyone.
The only thing offered to anyone is the new covenant, is the New Testament.
But they rejected the new covenant.
Then he says specifically in verse number 9,
but they continue not in my covenant, I regard them not, say it the Lord.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts,
and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
And they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother,
saying, know the Lord, for all shall know me,
from the least to the greatest, for I will be merciful to them in righteousness,
and their sins and their nickneys will I remember no more.
And that he saith a new covenant, he hath made the first old.
Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Obviously the moment that Jesus Christ died on the cross,
the Bible says the veil was rent in twain.
So technically the New Testament started right then.
I mean that is when you could argue that the New Testament has begun.
It's in his blood.
He said that at the Last Supper that it was in his body, in his blood.
This is the New Testament, okay, specifically.
But obviously if you talk about a worldwide experience,
not everybody is ready to just jump into the New Covenant at that moment.
They don't even understand it yet.
So you kind of see a transition period where essentially
people are learning about the New Covenant and entering into it,
but there's still some people that are kind of going under the guise of,
or the understanding of the old covenant,
while we're going through this transitionary period.
But while we're going through this transitionary period,
the Bible is saying something about the old covenant specifically.
It's saying it's decaying and waxing old and is ready to vanish away.
Think about this.
What decays?
A dead body, okay?
And here's the thing.
The old covenant was dead at that moment,
and it was slowly decaying, and it wasn't good anymore.
It wasn't what anybody should be doing.
Everybody needed to get into the New Covenant,
but obviously there was a transition here,
but eventually it decayed so much that it was gone.
And our dead bodies will eventually see so much corruption,
it'll just turn back into dust, and it'll be nonexistent.
This is what happened to the old covenant.
The old covenant, those who practiced the religion of the Jews,
waxed old, decayed, and in 70 AD, it perished.
It perished.
And you say, no, no, no, no, there's people in Israel today that are Jews.
Yeah, they're not practicing what that old covenant was.
That old covenant is gone.
They're not that people.
The old covenant is done.
I could argue, yes, there was a little bit of a transition,
there was a little bit of an overlap,
there was obviously people still offering sacrifices
after Christ had already died on the cross,
but those people weren't saved, they didn't understand,
and God allowed there to be a time period of transition,
but it was waxing old, decaying, and eventually it perished in 70 AD,
and God stopped that from even existing.
And all of the Jews are scattered into all of the world,
and they intermingled and mixed with everybody,
and I talked to a guy last week on Soul Winning,
and he's just like, do you know who the real Jews are?
And I'm like, they don't exist.
That's who the real Jews are.
And he's like, well, what about Revelation chapter 3?
Yeah, but here's the thing.
When it talks about the Jews, they say they're Jews and they are not.
They're the synagogue of Satan,
meaning that there is a resurrection of a religion called Judaism,
but it's not following the old covenant,
it's not following the Old Testament,
it's just literally following Satan.
I asked somebody in the car yesterday,
when we were driving over there,
I said, do you think if we eliminated every single person
that's ethnically Jewish by what they call ethnically Jewish,
and even that religion, would Judaism cease to exist?
And they said no, and I agree with them,
because here's the thing.
People are going to still gravitate towards Satanism,
and they're going to rekindle the flames of Satanism,
and honestly, if you study where the Jews even really came from,
they're not coming from this portion of history,
they're coming from like the 6th century,
from the Talmud, from the Babylonian Talmud,
and just an anti-Christ religion.
There's an anti-Christ religion which they call Judaism,
but it's not really the religion of the Jews,
it's the religion of the devil, okay?
And modern day Jews are not like the Pharisees and the Sadducees,
they're not like the Jews of the Old Testament.
No, no, no, no. They're way different.
Because many people that were of the Pharisees and stuff were getting saved,
they actually believed a lot of the Bible.
When we look at the Pharisees and Sadducees,
they're more like Catholics, and some certain Protestants,
and some of the fake versions of Christianity.
That's more similar to what the Pharisees and Sadducees were like.
The religion of Judaism is an anti-Christ, God-hating, Christ-rejecting religion
that really doesn't have a lot of parallels, you know, necessarily,
to what we see in Jerusalem.
Probably the closest thing is the traveling sect of Jews that would harass Paul,
where they would rile up the lewd fellows of the baser sort,
as the Bible describes them.
That's probably as close as you're going to get to the anti-Christ Judaism that exists today.
But what we have to understand, and this is very important,
is that the Judaism of today is not the religion of the Jews in the Old Testament.
That already died.
There is no covenant that's an old covenant offered to Jews.
There is only the new covenant offered to all people.
That is the only thing that is offered.
Keep your finger, go to Revelation chapter 11.
Why? Well, they want to do something, don't they?
What do people in Israel want to do?
They want to build a tabernacle.
They want to build a temple.
They want to go back to animal sacrifices.
But here's the thing.
They are not giving instruction, like Moses and David,
to see the true pattern of the real tabernacle and to build that.
They've been given no commandment, and we already have the true tabernacle,
and we already have all the sacrifices that were ever needed,
and to go back and build another temple,
or to re-sacrifice an animal, would be the most blasphemous thing you can possibly do,
because it's a full rejection of the new covenant, of the Messiah,
and of the sacrifice of the Lamb, and it's denying the true tabernacle.
Look, even if you didn't agree with what I'm saying about Hebrews,
you say, I'm Old Testament only. I'm a Jew. I believe the Old Testament.
Okay, well, do you realize that Moses was shown a pattern of the true tabernacle,
the true tabernacle in heaven?
So you'd have to acknowledge there's a true tabernacle in heaven that he modeled after.
But here's the thing.
You also have to recognize that your sacrifices have stopped for some reason.
Okay? Isn't that interesting?
I mean, where do you find Jews doing all these animal sacrifices and doing the Passover?
Yeah, obviously they celebrate on that day, Passover,
but they're not doing what the Old Testament commands them to do on that specific day.
Well, why did it stop? Oh, because Jesus was the Passover.
He died on the Passover. Literally, you killed him.
Your ancestors at least did.
And Jesus is in that true tabernacle in heaven, and that's where you found redemption.
Redemption, even in the Old Testament, was not found in the physical tabernacle.
It was found in the true tabernacle in heaven.
Now, in Revelation chapter 11, look at verse 19.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament,
and there were lightnings and voices and thunderings, and an earthquake and great hell.
So where is God?
God's in the temple of God in heaven, and he's with what?
The ark of his testament.
There's the Bible.
Go to chapter 15 and look at verse 15.
Chapter 15, or I'm sorry, verse 5. I'm not saying 15.
Chapter 15, verse 5, the Bible says,
And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen,
and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials,
full of the wrath of God, who liveth forever and ever.
And the temple was filled with the smoke from the glory of God, and from his power,
and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
That word till means until that happened.
So then men were able to go back into the temple.
Well, what's going on in the temple?
There's all this smoke coming from something.
Well, where there's smoke, there's what?
There's fire, all right?
And where there's fire, there's the Lord God,
because he's a consuming fire, and his wrath is waxing so hot in the end times,
and his wrath is so hot that the smoke emanating through the temple from God himself
is so strong that man can't even enter into the tabernacle in heaven, okay?
Now, I'm just going to read a couple of verses.
Go back to Revelation, I'm sorry, go back to Hebrews chapter 9.
The Bible says this in Psalms 11.
The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven,
his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.
The Lord is in his holy temple.
The Bible says in Isaiah 6, 1,
And the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
What is his train?
Well, for non-bozos, we're not talking about a woman's dress, okay?
A wedding dress.
We're talking about in the train is his entourage.
And you know, it's interesting, if I go to a modern dictionary,
if I just go to, just type in train definition.
This is what I did, I typed in train definition.
The first definition in Merriam-Webster was entourage.
That was the first definition.
Here's other explanations.
A body of employees or servants who accompany and wait on a person.
So in fact, it's a very common, well-known understanding of what a train is.
When the Queen of Sheba came unto King Solomon,
the Bible talks about her train of camels and servants
and whatever else that was coming with her.
She had a great train following her, okay?
And so, we see that the Lord, according to the text,
over and over, all over the Bible, he's in his true tabernacle in heaven.
Now in Hebrews chapter 9, look at what it says in verse 1.
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service
and a worldly sanctuary.
Notice that key word, worldly.
The tabernacle that Moses built, David built, Solomon,
well, Solomon prepared, I'm sorry, David prepared for, Solomon built,
and also we had the second rebuilding,
the second rebuilding is a worldly sanctuary.
Then verse 2 says, for there was a tabernacle made, the first,
wherein was the candlestick and the table and the shewbread,
which is called the sanctuary.
And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the most,
or the holiest of all.
This is where you have to understand what I said earlier
about the word tabernacle for a second, okay?
When it says there was a tabernacle made, the first,
what it's not talking about is like the first temple and the second temple.
What it's talking about is the actual structure itself
had two different compartments.
It had an outer layer, which is what they're calling the first tabernacle here,
and in this outward layer, all the priests can go in
and they have specific items in that area specifically.
What are the candlestick, the table, the shewbread,
and they call that area generally the sanctuary.
But then within the sanctuary is another smaller room,
smaller habitation, or a smaller tabernacle, the second,
and the only way to get into that second one is through a veil.
So everything was covered with curtains and veils
so you couldn't necessarily see into the next area or the next room,
just like we have walls, you can't necessarily see in the next room.
It's saying in the second one, after the second veil,
the tabernacle, which is called the holiest of all,
what does it have? Verse 4,
Which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant,
overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna,
and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant,
and over it the cherry-bims of glory, shadowing the mercy seat,
of which we cannot now speak particularly.
So he doesn't necessarily know what that looks like
because he can't go in there.
There's only one person allowed in that specific place.
It's the high priest.
Why did God have all these really specific instructions to Moses?
Why is he building this building in a specific way
and then there's only like one person that's ever allowed
to enter into this specific most holy sanctuary?
Because it patterns something of the true.
What is the true?
In heaven, there is a true tabernacle with an outward sanctuary
and then there is an inward tabernacle which is where God dwells on the throne,
on the mercy seat, and he's covered with cherry-bim.
And there's only one person that's allowed to enter into that.
And who is that high priest? Jesus Christ.
That is what is being pictured and patterned and modeled the example of.
Verse 6, Now when these things were thus ordained,
the priest went always into the first tabernacle accomplishing the service of God.
But in the second went the high priest alone once every year,
not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the heirs of the people.
The Holy Ghost this signifying that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest while as the first tabernacle was yet standing.
Now, I want to slow down on this for just a second.
What is he saying?
He's saying the high priest has to take the blood of bulls and goats.
He has to take the blood of an animal and he has to go into this altar
and he has to sprinkle his blood literally on the mercy seat
and that blood is not just for the people, it's for him too.
Because he has sinned.
The high priest that's a man of the Levites, Aaron, he has sinned too.
And the Bible is saying specifically that he has to do this for himself
and for the heirs of the people.
But this is different from the Lord Jesus Christ. Why?
Because the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't have to offer blood for his heir
or for his sin because he's the perfect and spotless lamb of God.
He is without sin.
Now it says in verse number 8, the Holy Ghost is telling us something
that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest.
Well, what does that mean specifically?
It's meaning that there's something that hasn't happened yet.
Something hasn't been made clear yet.
What was it that was not made clear yet?
Well, what was not made clear yet was the gospel of Jesus Christ
and that Jesus was going to do this.
So in the Old Testament they're performing this ritual,
this ceremony over and over, this tradition,
signifying what Jesus would do in the future,
signifying what the Messiah would do in heaven for them.
But it was not yet made manifest.
So we don't know at that point in time what's really going on
or how it's going to work.
And the only way to get to God was through this veil.
If I wanted to get to God, I had to go through this veil specifically.
Well, the Bible tells us specifically about the veil
that it's not referring to just a physical curtain,
but it's referring to Jesus Christ.
And I'm going to get to that in a moment,
but the Bible makes it abundantly clear that this veil specifically
is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now look at verse number 9,
which was a figure for the time then present
in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices
that could not make him that did the service perfect
as pertaining to the conscience,
which stood only in meats and drinks and divers washings
and cardinal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation.
But Christ being come and high priest of good things to come,
by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands,
that is to say, not of this building,
neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us.
So what is it saying?
They're going and doing this for years,
high priest going in offering animals blood,
animals blood once a year, every single year,
and it's saying but Christ didn't go into the physical,
the worldly sanctuary,
he went into the heavenly sanctuary
and then entered in the holiest of all
and not with the blood of bulls and of goats,
but with what?
Specifically it's saying that it went in with his blood,
it says,
But by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us.
So Jesus Christ had to take his blood
and take it into this most holy
and do what they would do as a ritual
and sprinkle that blood on the mercy seat
and that's what gave the forgiveness of sins.
That's what gave us eternal redemption for us
and that he only had to do it once.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean,
sanctify at the purifying of the flesh,
how much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works
to serve the living God.
What is the dead works?
The dead works is performing these rituals,
doing the works of the law.
But here's the problem,
doing the works of the law never gave you eternal redemption.
You could have been perfect in the Old Testament law
and you still didn't have eternal redemption
because it's not through the sacrifice of blood
of bulls and goats,
it's only by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
That's the only thing that gets you salvation.
It's the only thing that ever did get you salvation.
They're saying,
you know why they had to do this every year?
Because they didn't have an eternal redemption through that.
That was a temporary situation
and the only way to have the true redemption
was the foreshadowing of what Christ would do
and him sprinkling his blood on the mercy seat.
That's why it says in verse 15,
And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament,
that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the First Testament,
they which are called
might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
For where a testament is,
there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is a force after men are dead,
otherwise it is of no strength at all
while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the First Testament
was dedicated without blood,
for when Moses had spoken every precept
to all the people according to the law,
he took the blood of calves and of goats
with water and scarlet wool and hyssop
and sprinkled both the book and all the people,
saying, this is the blood of the New Testament
which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover, he sprinkled with blood
both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.
And all things, and almost all things
are by the law purged with blood
and without shedding of blood is no remission.
So in the Old Testament,
after Moses read all the law to the people,
he then sacrificed the animals,
took their blood literally with hyssop,
which hyssop is kind of like,
for lack of a better word,
like a tumbleweed or something.
I don't know.
It just kind of looks like some kind of brush,
you know, that you can find
and it just has a lot of points to it
and basically he's dipping it in there
and then when he's flicking it,
all those little sticks off of the brush
are just flicking the blood
and so just like sprinkling blood.
He's literally sprinkling the book
and all the people with blood
and he's dedicating them into the New Testament
and that's when they start in the Old Covenant.
Well, how did you get in the New Covenant?
Well, it wasn't while Jesus was alive
because it's saying that a testament
is not a force until the person dies,
until the testator dies,
meaning like if your parents have a will
but they're alive,
it doesn't have any effect.
In fact, they can change it.
That's why they always say like,
you're going to be taken out of the will
and you're like, oh no, you know.
The will only has effect when the person dies.
So Jesus taught us a lot about the New Testament
but you know what?
That didn't happen until he died
and specifically, what did the Jews say to Pilate?
His blood be on us and on our children.
So they were sprinkled and sanctified
with the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ.
They killed that animal
and that's when they entered into the New Testament
and that's when they entered into the New Covenant
in a sense.
Obviously, that doesn't mean all of them got saved.
That doesn't mean that all of them accepted it
but that was how the New Testament,
the New Covenant was entered into
and the blood was sprinkled and was shed
and there is no remission of sins
without the shedding of blood,
meaning we could not be redeemed,
we could not be saved
without blood being shed specifically
and that blood being shed was Jesus Christ's blood
and his blood was then applied to the throne in heaven.
Look at verse 23.
It was therefore necessary
that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these
but the heavenly things themselves
with better sacrifices than these
for Christ has not entered into the holy place
made with hands
which are the figures of the truth
but in the heaven itself
now to appear in the presence of God for us
nor yet that he should offer himself often
as the high priest entered in the holy place every year with blood of others
for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world
but now once in the end of the world
that he appeared to put away sin
by the sacrifice of himself
as it is appointed unto men once to die
but after this the judgment
so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many
and unto them that look for him
shall he appear the second time without sin and salvation.
So the Bible is saying
yeah, they were doing this on earth
but we had to have a better sacrifice
meaning God could not kill an animal
and give us forgiveness of sins.
It had to be a better sacrifice.
He couldn't kill man
and give us the forgiveness of sins.
He could only kill the Son of God
the perfect and spotless Lamb of God
and with that blood
is the only way we could have the remission of sins.
Many people could die
but they can't redeem mankind.
The only person that could redeem mankind
was the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ
and notice what it said in verse 24
for Christ has not entered in the holy place made with hands.
No, at the end of this
it says now to appear in the
but into heaven itself
now to appear in the presence of God for us.
Where is God?
God is dwelling in the most holy place
of the true tabernacle
and the only way to get in there
was Jesus Christ going in there
with the blood of himself
and sprinkling it on the altar
for us to then have access to God
and to have redemption
and eternal redemption
and forgiveness of sins.
That's how we got it.
Chapter 10 verse 1
For the law having a shadow
of good things to come
and not the very image of the things
can never with those sacrifices
which they offered year by year continually
make the comers thereunto perfect.
Notice what it's saying.
The Old Testament only had a shadow
and the shadow was of things to come in the future.
It was not the very image
and it can, notice this,
never with those sacrifices
which they offered year by year continually
make the comers thereunto perfect.
People that teach that in the Old Testament
the Jews had to follow the law to be saved
are liars.
They're liars and they're not saved.
If you think that works salvation
has anything to do with salvation
you're not saved.
It's never been by works.
It never will by works
and it can never be by works.
And so those who want to bring back
animal sacrifices
it's a Judaizing of the Bible
and it's bringing people back under the law
which can never give you salvation.
The only thing the law can give you
is condemnation.
It's the menstruation of death
is how the Bible describes it.
And of course that has been done away with.
It's over.
There's no resurrecting that.
We are now in the New Covenant
and it's already been brought into us
by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ.
That veil was rent in the Old Covenant.
When Jesus Christ died
this is what the Bible says in Matthew 27
The veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom
and the earth did quake and the rocks were rent.
So as soon as Jesus Christ died
that veil was rent
and now there's no longer this mystery
of what's going on in the Most Holy.
We now have access
to that innermost part of the tabernacle
through Jesus Christ.
Now keep your finger
go to 2 Corinthians 3
Go to 2 Corinthians 3
Look what the Bible says in verse 13
And not as Moses
which put a veil over his face
that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look
to the end of that which was abolished
but their minds were blinded
for until this day
untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament
which veil is done away in Christ
but even unto this day when Moses read
the veil is upon their heart
nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord
the veil should be taken away.
Another aspect of this is the fact that
when an unsaved person
tries to understand the Old Testament
it would be like someone trying to describe to you
what's behind the veil
and they've never been there.
It's someone that's not the high priest
has never been in there
doesn't know what it's looked like
and they're gonna try and tell you
what's going on behind this curtain
something that they've never seen.
This is what it's like when someone
tries to tell you what the Old Testament means
and they're not saved.
So you know it's confusing to me
is how many Christians will
literally bring Jews
who are not saved
into their churches and ask them
to interpret the Old Testament for them
to tell them what's going on.
It's like this person is blind
according to the Bible.
I mean imagine someone
hey I found this guy
he's born blind
he's never seen his entire life
he's gonna describe to us
what the color purple looks like.
How?
How can that even happen?
That doesn't even make sense.
Hey I found this guy
he's never been married
we're gonna bring him up here
and he's gonna give all you
husbands marriage advice.
He's also had no kids
he's gonna tell you how to have kids.
Right?
Oh wait I found this guy
he's never ever performed surgery
but he's gonna guide
your heart surgeon through surgery.
You're thinking like
this is stupid
this is silly Pastor Shelley
what you're saying.
Yeah but there are literally
Christians bringing Jews
into their church
and asking them
what they think about the Bible.
And the Bible is saying
they have no idea.
There is a veil
and they can't even look at it
they have no idea what's going on
they can't understand it
it's meaningless them.
The only way a Jew
can understand the Bible
is if he gets saved
and then the veil is rent
and now he has access to God
and he can understand
what's actually going on.
It's the only way to
understand the Old Testament.
That veil has been rent
and there's a veil on their heart
and they can't understand
they're confused.
I don't care what
the Jewish understanding
of the Bible is
because I know it's wrong.
Whatever their view
it's kind of like Catholics
whatever their doctrine is
you just know it's wrong
and it's like
Jews the same way
and it's like
why are these unsaved people
just always wrong
in every doctrine?
It's because they're blind.
It's because they've
never seen it.
It's like a flat earth
or describing to you
what the earth looks like.
Have you ever seen a model
of the flat earth
ever make sense?
Like they're drawing
all these weird pictures
and you're just like
what is
it's not like they
literally saw it
it's not like they went up
in space and saw it
and then drew a perfect
picture of it.
Imagine wild crazy things
and then just drawing them
on a piece of paper
and it's like
well that doesn't match
our reality though.
And then pretty soon
they start realizing like
oh I can't literally
draw a diagram that
could explain everything.
Can't explain the sun
this pattern
the moon's pattern
time zones
it can't explain flight
patterns
it can't explain all these
so they'll create a model
that'll explain like one thing
but then it falls apart
in like 20 other places.
And this is how
many people are
with the Bible.
Jews will try to explain
one part but it's just
it just contradicts
all over the place
it's confusing
it doesn't make any sense
why cause the person
just doesn't understand it.
They haven't seen it
they don't know
what they're saying.
So I don't really care
what a Jews interpretation
of the Bible is
because I know for sure
that he's wrong.
Now I want to go to
go back to Hebrews
I'm not going to
make you turn these places
I'm just going to read
a bunch of verses
for a second.
We've already noticed
what the Bible's talking about
how Jesus Christ is
taking his own blood
into the holiest of all.
That's what the Bible said.
But there are people out there today
who deny what I just said.
Their name is John MacArthur.
And John MacArthur
this is what he said
it is not his bleeding
that saved me
but is dying.
Now again this is
where people make
all these straw man arguments
where they'll say like
I wasn't saved
I wasn't saved by the resurrection
I was saved by the cross
and then they'll show a verse
that says you're saved
by the cross or something.
And it's like
are there verses that talk
about the death of Christ
being what gave us salvation?
Yeah.
Is there verses
that talk about the cross?
Yeah.
But it's not a one thing
it's all of it.
And it's not just
because Jesus bled.
He tries to make
a straw man argument here.
It's not like if Jesus
just ran into a bush
and cut his arm
and he bled a little bit
that that saves me
or something like that.
But the Bible literally says
by his stripes we are healed.
And why the blood
is so important
is because it was shed
and without the
shedding of blood
there is no remission
and then that blood
was literally taken
into heaven
and put on the mercy seat.
But this is what
John MacArthur says.
They teach.
Now he's actually mocking
Catholics but
this is what he says.
They teach that
the physical blood of Christ
was somehow preserved
after the crucifixion
and carried to heaven
where it is now
literally applied to the soul
of each Christian at salvation.
And I'm like
I don't really know
that Catholics teach that
but if they do
that sounds pretty good to me.
Now of course
prior in this quote
he's talking about
how they believe in
transubstantiation
how they're literally
drinking blood
at the communion.
That was the wrong part
that the Catholics
had mixed in here.
But the fact that
Jesus Christ's blood
was carried up in heaven
I believe that.
He says this quote
John MacArthur says
we are not saved
by some mystical
heavenly application
of Jesus' literal blood.
Nothing in scripture
indicates that the literal blood
of Christ is preserved in heaven
and applied to individual believers.
Let me read this verse again.
Nothing in scripture
indicates that the literal blood
of Christ is preserved in heaven
and applied to individual believers.
Okay what about
what we just read so far?
Is that nothing to you?
It's like we need
the book of Hebrews
being like a meme
looking at John MacArthur
like am I nothing to you?
But let me just read
a few verses for you, okay?
Take heed therefore
unto yourselves
and all the flock
over which the Holy Ghost
hath made you overseers
to feed the church of God
which he hath purchased
with his own blood
much more than being now justified
by his blood
we shall be saved
from wrath through him.
But now in Christ Jesus
ye who sometimes were far off
are made nigh
by the blood of Christ
in whom we have
redemption through his blood
even the forgiveness of sins
and having made peace
through the blood of his cross
by him to reconcile
all things unto himself
by him I say
whether they be things in earth
or things in heaven.
Now the God of peace
that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus
that great shepherd of the sheep
through the blood
of the everlasting covenant
elect according
to the foreknowledge
of God the Father
through sanctification
of the spirit
unto obedience
and sprinkling
of the blood
of Jesus Christ
grace unto you
and peace be multiplied
for as much as you know
that you are not redeemed
with corruptible things
as silver and gold
from your vain conversation
received by tradition
from your fathers
but with the precious blood
of Christ
as of a land without blemish
and without spot
and from Jesus Christ
who is the faithful witness
and the first begotten
of the dead
and the prince of the kings
of the earth
unto him that loved us
and washed us
from our sins
in his own blood.
Here's John MacArthur
nothing in scripture
indicates that the little blood
of Christ is preserved
in heaven and applied
to individual believers.
What book are you reading?
I mean that's so weird.
It seems like you're not saved,
John MacArthur.
Seems like you don't
understand the Bible.
Maybe it's because you're using
the extremely satanic version.
I don't know.
But point one is this
God is in heaven
in the tabernacle
and Jesus had to go in there
with his own blood
in order to give us
eternal redemption.
That's what the text said
in Hebrews.
That's what it keeps emphasizing.
That's why it's so important
that we emphasize
the precious blood of Christ.
That's why he said
that we were literally
purchased with the blood.
And notice it wasn't
by corruptible things.
It wasn't just
some physical body
dying that gave us salvation.
It was the blood
of that heavenly,
you know, Lord
taken up into heaven
and sprinkled on
the mercy seat
that precious spotless blood
that gave us salvation.
And you know we're not even
supposed to eat blood
specifically
because the life
is in the blood.
Like we're not
supposed to eat blood
and then the Catholics
are like,
oh yeah, eat blood.
And then John MacArthur
is like, blood doesn't
even matter.
And it's like,
there's so much heresy
on these subjects
and on these topics
and I think it's just
because people don't want
to slow down
and pay attention
to Hebrews.
But Hebrews is really
clear on this.
Look at chapter 10 verse 1 now.
Go to Hebrews
chapter 10 verse 1.
For the law,
having a shadow
of good things that come
and not the very image
of the things,
can never,
with those sacrifices
which they offered
year by year continually,
make the comers
they aren't too perfect.
For then would they
not have ceased
to be offered,
because the worshippers
once purged
should have no more
conscience of sins.
But in those sacrifices
there is a remembrance,
again, made of sins
every year.
For it is not possible
that the blood
of bulls and of goats
should take away sins.
I don't care
if it's a red heifer,
it still isn't
giving you
the forgiveness of sins, buddy.
Oh, we're going to bring
back red heifers.
I don't care
if you bring a blue heifer.
The blue heifer isn't
going to give you
forgiveness of sins.
A white heifer isn't
going to give you
the forgiveness of sins.
The only thing that gives
you the forgiveness of sins
is the blood
of Jesus Christ.
And you know what?
It's so insane today.
It's insane today
how many Christians
are literally trying
to support Jews
bringing animal sacrifices
back into the nation of Israel.
That they want
a tabernacle,
they want a temple
to be built
somewhere on this earth
and for animal sacrifices
and blood
to be brought
into that temple.
How blasphemous
and wicked
and a rejection
of the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is by the blood
of Christ that gives us
the forgiveness of sins.
I mean, this is
insane to me
how Zionism has
tricked so many Christians
into not recognizing
the precious
and spotless blood
of Christ.
And it wouldn't shock me,
I don't know
MacArthur's position,
but I'm sure he's
probably pro-Israel.
It's like,
why is it important
for John MacArthur
to deny the blood
and to not talk about
the blood
because then
you don't maybe
recognize the fact
of how blasphemous
it is to take
animals' blood
back into some building
and claim that
this is somehow biblical.
No, it's a rejection
of the blood
of Jesus Christ.
Our Lord and Savior.
That's what we're
even here for.
We're here because of that.
We're saved because of that.
We understand the Bible
because of that.
We're redeemed
because of that.
The church was purchased
with his blood specifically.
We couldn't even have
this institution right now.
How can a church
get together that was
bought by the blood
and then send their money
to go sacrifice
animals with Jews?
It's wicked.
It's demonic.
It's satanic.
And you know what?
I can't stand
this stupid Zionist belief.
It should be destroyed
in every one
of these churches.
You're not going
to be on YouTube.
Of course I'm not, okay?
I can see why.
You're so mean.
You're so hateful.
No, no, no.
You're mean and hateful
when you want
to re-sacrifice animals.
You hate Jesus.
You hate the New Testament.
You hate the blood
that bought and purchased
the church.
It's ridiculous.
You know, the Bible says,
I'm not going to have
you turn there.
Go to Psalm 51.
For thou desire's
not sacrifice,
else would I give it.
Thou delight'st
not in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God
are a broken spirit,
a broken and a
contrite heart of God,
thou wilt not despise.
God, He didn't,
He's not like
just up in heaven
thinking like,
man, I just really
want animals to be killed.
I just really want
their blood to be shed.
No, it was
all about Jesus.
It was picturing Jesus.
And what He wanted
people to do when they
were taking that blood
of the animal
into the sanctuary
and when they're
taking Him the Most Holy,
they want people
to think like, wow,
this is what Jesus
did for me.
And Jesus had to go
through such pain
and such sorrow
and He had to literally
descend down from heaven,
putting on flesh
and allowing that flesh
to be sacrificed
and His blood to be
spilt for Him to be
whipped and for Him
to be nailed
and for Him to be
pierced and for His blood
to gush out of His body
and for Him to go into hell
and then come back
and go into heaven
and take that blood
and put it on the altar
so I could go to heaven.
Man, if He had to do
all of that because of
my sin, maybe I should
actually live for Jesus.
Maybe I should actually
be willing to give up
some sin.
Maybe I should be actually
living a different way.
You know, that should
be motivating us
to have a broken
and a contrite heart
and spirit towards
the things of God
and thinking like,
wow, my sin is bad.
And not thinking like,
oh, it was fun though.
God doesn't want me
to have fun or whatever.
No, no, no.
The pleasures of sin
is only for a season,
but you know what?
It brought the bloody
destruction of our Lord
and Savior on the cross.
And when we think
about the sacrifice,
it should, you know,
the sacrifice should
cause our hearts
and our minds
to be yielding to God.
But the Jews,
they, you know, the unsaved,
they aren't making
these sacrifices because
they have a broken heart
and contrite spirit.
They're just ritual.
Just slaughter them,
you know, kill them,
whatever, do it.
In fact, many times
the Bible talks about how
they would take the worst
of their animals
and bring them
because they don't care
about the sacrifice.
They're just having
to do this ritual,
this pattern of behavior.
Catholics are just
showing up,
just eating a cracker
and drinking alcohol
like they did last night
at the bar with peanuts
and, you know,
Jack Daniels or whatever.
They don't have a broken
heart and a contrite spirit.
They're not really thinking,
I mean, Catholics don't
really think about
anything that they believe.
Because you'll ask
Catholics like,
Jesus died on the cross
for all my sins.
Okay, so then if He paid
all of your sins,
then why do you have to
do works to go to heaven?
Did you ever think
about that?
Do you ever think like,
why did Jesus
even have to die?
It's like they don't understand,
oh, because I have to
eat His blood.
No, you don't have
to eat His blood.
No, His blood was
sprinkled on the mercy seat.
You know, and because
Catholics are not emphasizing
the blood being sprinkled
on the mercy seat
giving us salvation,
then they think they have
to literally perform
the Eucharist to be saved.
Many Catholics and Orthodox
think that if you've
apostatized and you're not
part of the Catholic Church,
you can't be saved
because you're not doing
the Holy Communion
every single week.
And in fact,
their church services
really are not really
a church service.
It's basically a glorified
show up and eat the Eucharist.
They just show up
and it's just like,
we're going to eat the Eucharist
because we think this
is giving us salvation
and it's just constantly
re-sacrificing Christ
over and over again,
which the Bible says
it happened once
and the blood was already
sprinkled on the mercy seat.
And what we're supposed
to be doing is washing
ourselves with the
Word of God.
And the Catholics
aren't washing themselves.
They don't have a broken
and a contrite heart.
They have the wrong sacrifice.
They're forming the
wrong sacrifice.
They think it's some kind
of a sacrifice again.
No, the sacrifice that God wants
is a broken and contrite heart.
You're going to go to church
and hear somebody yell at you
for an hour?
That hurts my heart.
Well, good.
Mission accomplished.
I want to go somewhere
where Steven Furtick
wears the most faggoty
pink sweater
and makes me feel good.
Well, you know what?
That's not the sacrifice
of God.
That's the sacrifice
of Baal, okay?
And the outfits that
Steven Furtick are wearing
makes transsexuals blush.
It's so gay and perverted,
okay?
The guy is a freak.
And it's just,
you look at Christianity today,
you look at the world today,
and it's just like
almost everybody has
something wrong
on this doctrine,
whether it be the Catholics,
the evangelicals,
whether it be the Jews
or any of these people.
We need, as Baptists,
to thunder forth
the truth on these issues
so we can destroy Zionism.
I'm sick and tired
of this lie
and this constant praise
of the worst scum
of our society.
It's like,
how do you excuse?
I mean, right now,
Israel is being attacked
by Iran.
And I'm not trying
to say that they're not.
I'm not trying
to undermine that.
Of course,
I don't want anyone
innocent to die.
I'm not for war.
I am for peace,
and I am there for war.
And here's the reality.
A lot of Christians
empathize only with Israel.
And look, Islam is bad.
Muhammad was a pedophile.
Muhammad's a pedophile.
He's illiterate.
Islam is a wicked religion.
It's a false religion.
These people are bad
that practice Islam,
that practice that religion.
It's a wicked evil religion.
It's not like,
oh, it's so manly.
It's not manly.
It's so weak and pathetic
they can't read.
They're afraid of
seeing women's elbows.
I mean, what's wrong with you?
You can't even see
a woman's elbows?
They're that
terrifying for you?
They're just,
it's a wicked,
godless religion.
But at the same time,
when we look at the
other side of the aisle,
we see a love of money.
We see complete domination
and control and subversive
control of many governments
in this world.
We see Israel specifically,
you know, owning a lot of
the companies over there
and a lot of people over there
own some of the worst
industries in the world,
whether it come to the
pornography on the internet,
Hollywood, the music industry,
when it comes to practices
of interest and usury
and debauchery and filth.
Not only that,
their religion is the most
blasphemous religion against
the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
Why would I then sit here
and say like,
well, I really want to
support the most blasphemous
people on the planet?
It doesn't make sense.
You know what?
The Zionism bell is
getting rung right now
because they just want to
keep attacking Israel
and then everybody's going to
go, we've got to
preserve Israel.
We don't want, you know,
a bunch of carpet riding
jockeys to come in our
country or something like that.
And it's like, what's worse?
If we, you know,
I don't know what the
number is of how many Jews
are in America,
but let's just throw a number
like, I don't know,
six gurillion, okay?
Maybe six million, right?
Let's say there's six million
Jews in our country.
What if we could just,
you could press a button
and just replace them
with six million Muslims?
Would America really be worse?
Like if I could just press
a button and just say like,
I'm going to trade six
million Jews for
six million Muslims,
would that make
our country worse?
I don't believe so.
Now look, I would rather,
you know, press a button
and they just leave, okay?
I'd rather, hey,
if Zionism means get every
Jew in America and just
take them and put them
in Israel, I'm for that.
We'll bring you home, buddy.
I'll pay some of their
tickets, okay?
I'll start flying people.
Let's go, right?
Adams Sandler,
you can have him, okay?
You can have all kinds
of the Jews that are
out there, the Weinbergs
and the Goldbergs
and the Steinbergs.
And you know what?
I hope they take all
their banks with them
and all their websites
and all their movies
and all their other junk
that's going on.
I'm fine with that.
In fact, we'll lose
a lot of fags
in the process, too,
because where two or three
Jews are gathered together,
there's a fag in the midst,
so, you know, that was
said by someone
smarter than me.
But we need to understand
that the true tabernacle
in heaven has already
been sanctified by the
blood of Jesus Christ.
We never need another
animal sacrifice ever again.
Now, here's the thing.
When I eat lunch,
an animal was sacrificed
in that process,
but it wasn't to give me
eternal redemption.
It was to make my belly
feel good, okay?
There's nothing wrong
with slaughtering cows.
You know, don't become
the Hindus and start
worshiping animals, all right?
I'm okay, but you know what?
I'm not going to bring
that animal into a temple,
and I'm not going to say
Allah when I cut its throat,
and I'm not going to do
some religion of the Jews.
You know, we're just
going to slaughter it
and drain the blood,
and we're going to eat
the meat, spit out the bones.
Look at verse 10.
Let's go to verse 5.
I want to read this.
Wherefore, when he cometh
in the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering
thou wouldst not,
but a body,
hast thou prepared me.
And burnt offerings
and sacrifices for sin
thou hast had no pleasure.
Then said I, Lo, I come,
in the volume of the book
it is written of me
to do thy will, O God.
Above, when he said,
Sacrifice and offering
and burnt offerings
and offerings for sin
thou wouldst not,
neither hadst pleasure
therein, which are
done.
Then said he, Lo, I come,
to do thy will, O God.
He taketh away the first,
that he may establish
the second.
Notice, he took away
the first.
When we read in
2 Corinthians, it said,
that which is abolished,
meaning the old covenant
is abolished.
It's perished.
It's over.
It's done.
But verse 10,
By the which will
we are sanctified
through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
And every priest
standeth daily ministering
and offering, oftentimes
the same sacrifices,
which can never
take away sins.
But this man,
after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins
forever, sat down
on the right hand of God,
from henceforth expecting
till his enemies be made
his footstool.
For by one offering
he hath perfected
forever them
that are sanctified.
Whereof the Holy Ghost
also is a witness to us,
for after that
he had said before,
This is the covenant
that I will make with them
after those days,
saith the Lord,
I will put my laws
into their hearts,
and in their minds
will I write them,
and their sins and iniquities
will I remember no more.
Now our mission of these is,
there is no more
offering for sin,
having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter
into the holiest
by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way
which he hath consecrated
for us through the veil,
that is to say,
his flesh.
Notice how we got to God.
It was through the flesh
of Jesus Christ.
Now that's the veil.
So here's the thing.
The only way to God,
you're in the sanctuary.
The only way to get to God
is I have to walk
through a physical veil.
I have to open the curtains
and I have to walk through
into the veil, right?
The only way to get to God
is through the veil
of Jesus Christ,
meaning you can only
come to the Father
through Jesus Christ.
That was the way
into the Father
was through Jesus Christ.
That's why Jesus Christ
is saying,
I am the way, the truth,
and the life.
No man cometh
unto the Father,
but by me,
meaning you can't get
into the holiest
without going
through the veil
and you can't get
to God the Father
without going
through Jesus Christ,
meaning that every single
unsaved Jew is unsaved.
They have to go
through Jesus
or they are not getting in.
That is the only way
to get it.
The only way
to get to God
was through the veil
and the only way
to draw nigh to God
today is through Jesus
Christ as well,
is through the Bible.
You say,
hey, I want to go
into the veil
and I want to talk
and commune with God.
It's right here.
This is through the veil
and without this,
when this is closed,
you can't see.
You don't know
what God's like.
You don't know
what is going on in there.
You have to open the veil.
You have to open
the curtain
and that's how you see
what God is like
and you see
when you open the curtain
what it looks like in heaven.
No, no, no, wait.
I now see what it
looks like in heaven.
There's this stupid image
I saw on Twitter.
It was like the Catholic
picture of Jesus
and then the Protestant
view of Jesus
and then the Orthodox
view of Jesus
and it's all these
queer looking guys
with long hair
and I retweeted it.
I said this is
what Jesus looks like.
This is what God
looks like.
We can open up the veil
and we can see
who Jesus is
and we can see
the blood
and this is what
gives us church.
This is what
gives us the power
and the authority
of church.
This is what
gives us the
forgiveness of sins.
This is what
gives us all knowledge
and all wisdom
and all might
and all power
and this is the light
that when we open
it in a dark world
the only thing
that has light
is when we go
and we have the light
and we go to people
that aren't saved
and we say,
hey, I want to
get you saved.
I want you to
see the light.
And we're opening up
the veil.
We're saying,
hey, you don't have
to stay outside
of the veil.
You can come in
with the veil.
Ready?
Here's where God is.
Here's what God
looks like.
We're pointing him
to the Word of God,
the true tabernacle
which is in heaven.
Go back to
Hebrews chapter 10.
I don't know if
you changed places,
but he says in verse
number 21,
and having a high priest
over the house of God,
let us draw near
with a true heart
in full assurance of faith,
having a heart sprinkled
from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed
with pure water.
Let us hold fast
the profession of our faith
without wavering,
for he is faithful
that promised.
And let us consider
one another
to provoke unto love
and to good works,
not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves
together as the manner
of some is,
but exhorting
one another
and so much the more
as you see the day
approaching.
Everything I just read
leads up to the one
verse that emphasizes what?
Going to church.
Why?
Because the church
was purchased
with his blood.
And his blood sprinkled
in the true tabernacle
gives us
eternal redemption.
It gives us
the eternal salvation.
And the only way
to draw nigh to God
is through Christ,
is through that veil.
And he is our high priest.
Right now,
this sanctuary
has a high priest.
It's Jesus Christ
in heaven for us.
Because think about this.
In the Old Testament,
all of the priests
would go in where?
The sanctuary.
But only one person
got to go into what?
That second tabernacle,
which is the veil,
which is Jesus Christ.
And right now,
we're all in
the first sanctuary.
And we're not allowed
into that second
tabernacle right now.
That's where Jesus
is in heaven for us.
But we're still supposed
to be doing the sacrifices
of God and the
ministration of God.
And we are here
having that sanctuary.
And Jesus Christ
is our high priest.
To then go and build
a temple and sacrifice
animals is a rejection
of all the Bible,
all of the New Testament,
all of the New Covenant,
the sprinkling of the
blood of Jesus Christ.
It is super blasphemous
and wicked.
And you know what?
When you learn about
the truth of this,
you should consider
one another and provoke
one another
into loving good works.
What?
Not forsaking the
assembling of
ourselves together.
We need to show up
in this sanctuary.
We need to be here
while our high priest
is in the innermost
part for us.
Doing that work,
showing up at your...
People are getting nervous
about the end times
and all this other stuff.
Well, you know,
the one place I want to be
is in the sanctuary,
is in the
tabernacle of God.
And you know what?
They'll say,
well, you're building
orange and ugly.
Yeah, but you know what?
I've got Jesus with me.
I don't care
what it looks like.
I don't care how beautiful
your Catholic church looks
or how big they build
the temple
or what that looks like.
You know what?
That's not where God's at.
God's in the true
tabernacle in heaven.
And you know what?
This is the real sanctuary
of God right here.
And the Bible even says
that we are the
tabernacle of God.
And He dwells inside
of our hearts.
And you know what?
We need to make sure
that we consider
what the Bible's saying here.
Consider these things.
Think about these things.
I know this is
a doctrinal sermon,
but we need to be
reminded of why
we're even here, folks.
You were not created
to have a 401K.
You were not created
to have a beach house.
You were not created
to just go out and have
fun and do whatever you want.
You know what?
We are the royal priesthood.
We are that priest of God,
and we are supposed to come
into the sanctuary
and offer sacrifices unto God.
You say, what sacrifice?
A broken and a contrite heart.
You know, the guy
sitting on his couch,
eating chips off his chest
this morning, doesn't have
a broken and contrite heart.
I don't want to go to church
and, you know, it's boring
and mean-spirited and whatever.
You know what?
You're the one
that has a bad spirit.
I love church,
and we should never
forsake the institution
that God gave us,
but some will.
You shouldn't be that person.
Don't be the person
that forsakes.
Don't be the person
that's wishy-washy.
You know you should be
the person?
You're the person
that's provoking
people to come,
dragging people here.
Don't be dragged here.
You drag people here.
You drag people
in the sanctuary with you
and to come to church
because we need it
so much the more
as we see the day approaching.
It doesn't say,
hey, you know,
in the end times,
stop trying to have
church so much.
In the end times,
scale back.
Sunday night,
who needs that anymore?
That's boring.
All right,
Wednesday night Bible study,
we already got
enough going on.
You know,
we don't need more church.
No, no, the Bible says
that we see the day
approaching,
we need even more church,
not less.
Make sure you consider
what Jesus did for you.
Let's close in prayer.
Thank you,
Heavenly Father,
so much for the sacrifices
of your son.
Thank you for illustrating
to us how to get into
that second place
in the tabernacle,
most holy of all.
It's through the blood
of Jesus Christ.
It's through the veil
of Jesus Christ
and his sacrifice for us.
Thank you so much
for being willing
to love us enough
to sacrifice your son for us.
And thank you so much,
Jesus,
for dying on the cross
for us and your blood
being shed
and loving us
and being willing
to redeem us.
I pray that we wouldn't
consider these things
not worthy of our
attention, time, and effort,
but rather,
we'd look at church
as the most important institution.
We'd see the importance
of opening up our Bibles
and sharing the gospel
with other people
and showing them
who Jesus is.
And I pray that we wouldn't
get tricked and duped
into all the false doctrine
and the satanic rituals
that are being performed
all over this world,
but rather we would come
to the true tabernacle,
the true sanctuary,
where we would offer
a sacrifice of a broken heart
and a contrite spirit.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
All right, let's go
for our final song
to song number 173,
Love Lifted Me.
Song 173.
Song number 173,
Love Lifted Me.
Sing it out.
I was sinking deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore
Buried deep in strain within
Sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
And our flag was still there
The Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me
Now say, am I
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
All my heart to Him I give
Ever to Him I'll clean
In His blessing, presence lived
Ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true
There is my soul's best songs
Painful, loving service
Due to Him belongs
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will live to buy His love
Out of the angry waves
He's the Master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your Savior wants to be
Be saved today
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Great singing everybody. You are all dismissed.
Thank you for watching.
