Caption transcript for Champions of Faith: “Relationship — Enoch” (2/11)

• 00:05 HEBREWS 11 HONORS THE CHAMPIONS
• 00:07 OF FAITH WHO WANDERED IN DESERTS
• 00:09 AND IN MOUNTAINS AND CAVES OF THE EARTH.
• 00:12 BECAUSE OF THIS CLOUD OF WITNESSES,
• 00:14 WE CAN RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US.
• 00:16 ♪♪
• 00:53 AND IN THE DAYS OF OLD
• 00:55 SEVEN GENERATIONS AFTER ADAM,
• 00:57 THERE CAME A MAN NAMED ENOCH.
• 01:05 A PROPHET WHO WALKED WITH GOD
• 01:08 AND ENJOYED FELLOWSHIP WITH THE ALMIGHTY.
• 01:16 IN THE SOLITUDE OF THE WILDERNESS,
• 01:18 ENOCH WAS NOT ALONE.
• 01:24 FOR JEHOVAH COMMUNED WITH HIM THERE.
• 01:30 HE REFRESHED HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS LORD.
• 01:34 HIS LIFE WAS A SIMPLE BUT VIBRANT PORTRAYAL OF FAITH
• 01:37 IN THE LIVING GOD
• 01:40 AND HE LIVED FOR 365 YEARS.
• 01:45 HE WOULD NEVER TASTE OF DEATH.
• 01:47 BUT INSTEAD BE TRANSLATED DIRECTLY TO THE SIDE
• 01:50 OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER.
• 01:53 AND BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN,
• 01:54 HE WAS COMMENDED AS ONE WHO PLEASED GOD.
• 02:04 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 02:08 WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A REMARKABLE PERSON ON THIS PROGRAM.
• 02:11 ENOCH.
• 02:13 ENOCH WHO DID NOT DIE.
• 02:15 AND I CAN EXPLAIN THAT.
• 02:17 HEBREWS 11:5-6 AND, OF COURSE, ON EACH
• 02:21 OF OUR PROGRAMS ON FAITH, WE'VE BEEN QUOTING FROM HEBREWS 11.
• 02:25 AND IT SAYS THERE,
• 02:52 SO ENOCH HAD THIS PERFECT KIND OF FAITH.
• 02:55 SO PERFECT THAT HE NEVER DID DIE.
• 02:57 HE'S NOT DEAD YET, SO TO SPEAK.
• 02:59 HE'S WITH GOD IN HIS BODY EVIDENTLY BECAUSE HE WAS TRANSLATED.
• 03:05 TRANSLATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ONE GENERATION OF THE CHURCH
• 03:09 BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
• 03:42 IN OTHER WORDS, AMONG THE CHRISTIANS,
• 03:43 NOT ALL WILL BE DEAD.
• 03:44 BUT EVERYONE OF US WILL BE METAMORPHICIZED INTO A CREATURE
• 03:49 OUTFITTED FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
• 03:51 BUT THE CHRISTIANS THAT ARE IN THIS GENERATION COULD POSSIBLY
• 03:59 BE BY THE VIEW OF SOME PROPHECY TEACHERS THOSE THAT WE WOULD TRANSLATED.
• 04:04 SO IT BEARS SOME DISCUSSING.
• 04:07 WE MAY BE THOSE WHO SHALL NOT SLEEP.
• 04:09 BUT ANYWAY, THERE WILL BE ONE GENERATIONS OF CHRISTIANS WHO
• 04:13 WILL NEVER SEE DEATH BUT GO STRAIGHT TO GOD AS DID ENOCH AND AS DID ELIJAH.
• 04:20 NOW, MEN HAD BEEN ON THE EARTH 687 YEARS BEFORE ENOCH WAS TRANSLATED.
• 04:26 AND HE WAS THE FIRST REALLY TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 04:31 YOU MIGHT SAY ADAM HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 04:33 HE HAD TO.
• 04:35 HE WAS THE FIRST MAN.
• 04:36 AND GOD LITERALLY SPOKE TO HIM.
• 04:38 AND HE ALSO HAD TO ACCOUNT TO GOD.
• 04:42 HE SINNED.
• 04:43 GOD CAME AFTER HIM FOR EATING OF THE FRUIT
• 04:46 AND OF COURSE, HE SAID, "IT WAS THE WOMAN,"
• 04:49 NOT JUST THAT, BUT, "IT WAS THE WOMAN YOUGAVE ME"
• 04:52 AND SO THERE WAS KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP BUT NOT THAT WARM
• 04:56 OF RELATIONSHIP WE MIGHT SAY.
• 04:58 NOT THAT GOD DIDN'T LOVE ADAM, BUT ADAM REALLY WAS A SINNER.
• 05:01 WE HAVE A DIFFERENT COMMODITY HERE IN ENOCH.
• 05:04 ENOCH IS VERY SPECIAL.
• 05:07 THE FIRST MAN IN SCRIPTURE AFTER ALL THAT TIME TO BE IN
• 05:10 A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 05:12 PERHAPS HE'S ONE OF THE TWO WITNESSES.
• 05:15 THIS THEORY GOES THAT ELIJAH AND ENOCH ARE THE ONES SPOKEN
• 05:19 OF IN REVELATION 11 IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION
• 05:24 TWO WITNESSES COME FORWARD, POWERFUL WITNESSES FROM GOD.
• 05:28 AND THEY DO MIRACLES AND THE MIRACLES THAT THEY DO ARE
• 05:33 CHARACTERISTIC OF MOSES AND ELIJAH.
• 05:35 AND IT ALSO IS THOUGHT THAT MOSES IS THE LAW
• 05:39 AND ELIJAH THE PROPHETS, PLUS THOSE TWO APPEARED
• 05:44 WITH CHRIST IN THE TRANSFIGURATION.
• 05:46 THAT'S THE ARGUMENT FOR IT BEING ELIJAH AND MOSES.
• 05:51 WE WONDER IF IT IS NOT ELIJAH AND ENOCH ON THE LOGIC THAT NEITHER OF THOSE HAS DIED.
• 05:58 THEY EVIDENTLY HAVE SOME UPCOMING MISSION.
• 06:02 ENOCH, TOO, PROPHESIED TO HIS GENERATION AND COULD REPRESENT
• 06:06 THE VERY EARLY PROPHETS, THAT COULD BE.
• 06:17 AS IF TO SAY, EVERYONE OF US HAS TO DIE.
• 06:19 THAT I CORINTHIANS 15:22 SAYS.
• 06:26 MEN ALL DIE, EXCEPT TWO MEN.
• 06:29 AND THAT IS THE FASCINATING PART OF THIS.
• 06:32 YOU KNOW, ABEL WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST PROGRAM, HE OFFERED GOD A PROPER SACRIFICE.
• 06:37 HE GAVE THE BLOOD.
• 06:39 HE TOOK A LAMB FROM HIS FLOCK.
• 06:41 BUT ENOCH OFFERED EVEN SOMETHING MORE, HIS SELF,
• 06:45 HE HAD A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 06:48 THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP SPOKEN OF IN THE BOOK OF MICAH.
• 07:10 SOMEBODY SPECULATED WHAT KIND OF SACRIFICE WILL REALLY PLEASE GOD.
• 07:13 I COULD SLAY MY FIRSTBORN CHILD IF THAT WILL RECOMPENSE FOR MY TRANSGRESSIONS AND SO ON.
• 07:21 IT IS NOT LIKE THAT.
• 07:35 WE SHOWED IN OUR LITTLE DRAMA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM,
• 07:38 ENOCH WALKING HUMBLY WITH GOD AS WE CAN INTERPRET THAT.
• 07:50 GOD IS HOLDING UP HIS END OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
• 07:52 IT'S UP TO US TO HOLD UP OURS.
• 08:09 RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
• 08:10 IS EXPLAINED MANY PLACES IN SCRIPTURE.
• 08:14 I LIKE I JOHN 3:24.
• 08:50 IT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE.
• 08:52 WE NEED TO BELIEVE IN JESUS AND TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
• 08:55 BUT THOSE ARE PROFOUND COMMANDMENTS,
• 08:57 SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT.
• 08:59 THE ORIGINAL COMMANDMENT TO MEN WAS SIMPLY TO BE IN RELATIONSHIP TO GOD HIMSELF.
• 09:04 BEFORE MEN NEEDED A REDEEMER, EARLY IN THE WALK OF ENOCH,
• 09:10 HE WAS -- I HAD SAID HE'S A PROPHET,
• 09:13 AND THAT IS SHOWED IN JUDE 1:14
• 09:16 WHERE ENOCH WAS DOING IS MINISTRY, THE COMMAND OF GOD
• 09:19 WAS THAT HE PROPHESY TO HIS GENERATION.
• 09:49 THE WORD "UNGODLY" MUST APPEAR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES IN ONE VERSE.
• 09:52 OBVIOUSLY, THE MAJOR JUDGMENT THAT ENOCH WAS PROPHESYING WAS
• 09:56 THE FLOOD AND IT CAME AND IT CERTAINLY STRAIGHTENED UP THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO GOD.
• 10:02 THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAMILY LEFT,
• 10:04 AND NOAH AND HIS FAMILY APPARENTLY WERE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO GOD.
• 10:08 THE END OF THE BIBLE, REVELATION 21,
• 10:11 TALKS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD AFTER THERE IS A NEW HEAVEN,
• 10:18 A NEW EARTH AND A NEW JERUSALEM.
• 10:20 THERE IS STILL A RELATIONSHIP,
• 10:24 A WARM AND LOVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN AS THEY ARE THEN AND GOD.
• 10:28 I SHOULD SAY SOULS AND GOD.
• 10:52 SO IN THE END, AN INTIMATE AND WARM AND LOVING RELATIONSHIP IS SEEN BETWEEN GOD AND SAVED MEN.
• 10:58 THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED THROUGH THE AGES AND SURVIVED TO SEE
• 11:01 THE NEW HEAVEN, THE NEW EARTH, AND THE NEW JERUSALEM.
• 11:04 ETERNITY.
• 11:07 WELL, WHEN I THINK OF AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
• 11:10 NOTHING OCCURS TO ME SOONER THAN WHAT I CALL THE CHRISTIAN
• 11:14 LOVE STORY AND HAVE ALLUDED TO MANY TIMES IN OTHER CONTEXTS.
• 11:18 THAT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH.
• 11:24 YOU KNOW, THE ISRAELI CUSTOM IN THE FIRST CENTURY DIDN'T HAVE DATE COURTSHIP.
• 11:29 YOUNG MEN MERELY PRESENTED A CONTRACT OF MARRIAGE TO THE WOMAN HE WANTED.
• 11:34 HE POURED HER A CUP OF WINE.
• 11:37 HE PROVIDED A PRICE FOR HER FATHER TO TAKE
• 11:41 AND HE MADE A SPEECH WHEN SHE WOULD LIFT THAT CUP, SAYING,
• 11:46 "I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU."
• 11:49 AND GO BACK TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE AND BUILD HER A MANSION,
• 11:52 A BRIDAL CHAMBER FOR THEIR HONEYMOON.
• 11:54 THIS WAS THE CUSTOM OF MARRIAGE AND THE WAY THAT THOUSANDS AND
• 11:57 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WERE MARRIED.
• 12:01 CHRIST COPIED IT IN A WONDERFUL WAY.
• 12:04 HE CAME FROM HIS HOUSE IN HEAVEN,
• 12:05 HIS FATHER'S HOUSE, TO OUR HOUSE ON EARTH.
• 12:08 HE BROUGHT THE CONTRACT, THE NEW CONTRACT,
• 12:10 THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND HE PAID THE PRICE,
• 12:16 THE HIGHEST PRICE THAT ANYONE COULD PAY, THE VERY LIFE OF AN INNOCENT MAN.
• 12:44 THIS IS VERY INTIMATE, ALMOST ROMANTIC.
• 12:46 YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY ASK WHO WILL HAVE THE PASSOVER THAT VERY NIGHT,
• 12:49 HE SAYS, "WITH THIS DESIRE HAVE I DESIRED
• 12:51 "TO EAT THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU."
• 12:55 THIS IS A LOVER TALKING SO TO SPEAK.
• 12:57 THAT IS SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE ONE HE'S ADDRESSING.
• 13:01 THIS IS THE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
• 13:03 CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH.
• 13:06 WHEN WILL WE SEE CHRIST AND WHEN WILL WE REALIZE THIS RELATIONSHIP?
• 13:10 WHEN WE ARE TRANSLATED AS ENOCH WAS TRANSLATED.
• 13:14 WE'LL BE TAKEN TO HEAVEN AND IT SAYS IN II CORINTHIANS 5:10
• 13:19 WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST TO
• 13:22 RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN OUR BODIES WHICH IS TO SAY THAT WE
• 13:25 ARE GOING TO BE FACE TO FACE WITH HIM,
• 13:28 WITH OUR LORD.
• 13:29 WE WILL SEE HIM, HE WILL SEE US.
• 13:31 WE WILL REVIEW THE WORKS THAT WE DID IN THIS LIFE
• 13:34 WITH THE GIFTS THAT WE HAD AND THE SERVICE THAT WE DID FOR HIM.
• 13:37 NOT OUR SINS WHICH WERE FORGIVEN ON THE CROSS, BUT OUR WORKS
• 13:40 AND AT THAT TIME, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
• 13:43 WILL BE TRULY CONSUMMATED.
• 13:46 WE, WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN IN I THESSALONIANS 4:16-17,
• 13:51 THAT IS THE GENERATION THAT WILL BE TRANSLATED LIKE ENOCH WAS
• 13:57 TRANSLATED AND DID NOT SEE DEATH.
• 14:00 PRAY THAT WE ARE THAT GENERATION.
• 14:42 WALK DOWN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 14:44 SAIL ACROSS THE SEA OF GALILEE,
• 14:49 RIDE TO THE SUMMIT OF MASADA.
• 14:53 FLOAT IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 14:57 FIND THE TREASURES OF PETRA.
• 15:01 TOUR THE HOLY LAND WITH ZOLA LEVITT.
• 15:12 WELL, OUR PROGRAM IS SHOT IN ISRAEL,
• 15:15 JUST LIKE ALL OF THEM AND YOU KNOW,
• 15:17 THE ISRAEL YOU ARE SEEING THERE,
• 15:19 THE CAMERA CREW WAS ACTUALLY STANDING IN JERUSALEM.
• 15:21 ENOCH DEMONSTRATED A LIFE OF RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
• 15:26 AND WE HAVE TESTIMONIALS OF THE SAME THING TODAY BY AN ISRAELI AND BY A GENTILE.
• 15:32 LET'S GO BACK TO LOCATION
• 15:34 IN ISRAEL FOR OUR ISRAELI TESTIMONY.
• 15:43 I WAS ANGRY AND THINGS WERE VERY DIFFICULTY.
• 15:46 AND I JUST ASKED HELP FROM HIM.
• 15:49 VERY SIMPLE.
• 15:51 Zola: YAIR EVEN ZAHAV IS A JEWISH BELIEVER WHO LIVES IN ISRAEL.
• 15:54 EIGHT YEARS AGO HE PLACED HIS FAITH IN YESHUA,JESUS.
• 15:58 I HAVE BEEN IN THREE WARS AND I HAVE SEEN THINGS.
• 16:04 AND I FELT ABOUT THE LORD EVEN BEFORE I ACCEPTED JESUS,
• 16:08 I KNEW ABOUT HIS EXISTENCE THROUGH OTHER EXPERIENCE.
• 16:13 BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT YESHUAAS ANOTHER FIGURE,
• 16:18 THAT WAS MY PHILOSOPHY AT THAT TIME.
• 16:20 BUT RIGHT NOW, I KNOW THAT
• 16:21 THERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE.
• 16:25 WHEN I WAS 40, I CAME TO JERUSALEM AFTER A COUPLE OF
• 16:28 DIFFICULT TIMES IN MY LIFE.
• 16:31 AND A FRIEND OF MINE, CALLED ME FROM NO WHERE,
• 16:34 I DON'T KNOW HOW HE FOUND MY NUMBER.
• 16:36 HE TOLD ME, "LOOK, I ACCEPTED YESHUAIN MY LIFE."
• 16:40 AND AT THAT TIME, I WAS READING THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 16:43 AND STOPPED BEING HARD ABOUT IT.
• 16:47 WE WENT TO JERUSALEM AND WENT TO CHRIST CHURCH AND THERE WAS
• 16:51 A PASTOR THERE AND I SAW HIS FOREHEAD WAS SHINY WHEN HE SPOKE.
• 16:56 AND AFTER THAT, MY FRIEND SAID TO ME,
• 16:59 "COME, COME, LET'S GO SPEAK WITH THEM."
• 17:02 AND THEY SAT WITH US IN THE BACK OF THE CHURCH.
• 17:07 I WAS SITTING THERE AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE SAID,
• 17:11 "DO YOU WANT TO ACCEPT YESHUAAS YOUR LOVE?"
• 17:13 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 17:17 I FOUND MYSELF SAYING YES.
• 17:18 I DON'T SAY YES EASILY.
• 17:21 I JUST SAID YES.
• 17:22 Zola: LIKE ENOCH OF OLD,
• 17:24 HE HAS FOUND A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
• 17:27 REFRESHING HIMSELF IN THE WORD.
• 17:29 IN THE BEGINNING I USED TO DEFEND MYSELF ABOUT MY FAITH.
• 17:34 RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND IT.
• 17:36 I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN, THEN I DON'T HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.
• 17:43 AND THEN IF I SEE PEOPLE STILL WANTS, THEN I AM TELLING THEM
• 17:47 WHAT HE IS FOR ME AND WHO HE IS FOR ME AND FIRST OF ALL,
• 17:53 YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT IT'S WRITTEN AND I ACCEPT IT IS
• 17:55 WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE AND NEW TESTAMENT,
• 17:59 IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH PEOPLE, THROUGH SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO WROTE IT.
• 18:05 BUT IT IS HIS WORD.
• 18:07 SO IF I LOSE MY OWN FAITH, I HAVE THE BIBLE.
• 18:10 SO IT IS A GREAT GIFT, YOU KNOW.
• 18:12 AND I THANK THE LORD THAT I MET A PERSON THREE YEARS AFTER
• 18:16 I WAS A BELIEVER, HE TOLD ME,
• 18:19 "JUST STICK TO THE WORD, THE WRITTEN."
• 18:22 AND SINCE THEN I DIDN'T LIVE A DAY THAT I AM BREATHING.
• 18:26 WELL, I HAVE BEEN A CHRISTIAN 14 YEARS NOW.
• 18:30 Zola: JOANNE PADGETT, A GENTILE BELIEVER,
• 18:32 SPEAKS ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
• 18:34 I THINK THE RELATIONSHIP I HAVE WITH THE LORD REALLY AFFECTS
• 18:38 EVERY OTHER RELATIONSHIP THAT I HAVE WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
• 18:41 IF MY RELATIONSHIP IS NOT RIGHT WITH HIM AND IF I WALK IN
• 18:44 REBELLION AND DISOBEDIENCE AND FOLLOWING HIS WAY THEN I SEE IT
• 18:50 AFFECTS THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH, IT AFFECTS THE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE,
• 18:56 THE FRIENDSHIP RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE.
• 18:58 AND MOST OF ALL, WHEN I WAS A SINGLE MOM,
• 19:00 IT AFFECTED THE RELATIONSHIP I HAVE WITH MY SON.
• 19:03 Zola: JOAN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
• 19:04 THE LORD HAS NEVER WAVERED EVEN IN DIFFICULT TIMES.
• 19:07 NOT LONG AGO SHE WAS A SINGLE MOTHER WHO HAD NO INSURANCE,
• 19:10 NO CAR, AND GROWING MEDICAL BILLS.
• 19:14 AND I WAS MAKING SIX DOLLARS AN HOUR.
• 19:16 I HAD HAD CHILD AND I AS HAVING TO PAY BACK ALL OF THIS --
• 19:22 THEY HAD BLESSED ME BY TAKING CARE OF MY DOCTOR AND HOSPITAL EXPENSES.
• 19:26 AND I WAS PAYING IT BACK.
• 19:28 I WAS BRINGING HOME $500 A MONTH THAT I WAS HAVING TO LIVE ON.
• 19:32 I HAD AN APARTMENT AND I HAD A BABY AND I NEEDED TO PROVIDE
• 19:36 FOOD AND FORMULA FOR HIM AND MEDICAL CARE AND ONE MORNING,
• 19:41 I WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE,
• 19:43 AT THE KITCHEN TABLE AND I WAS FIXING TO GO SIGN UP FOR WELFARE
• 19:51 AND I SAID, "LORD, I CAN'T DO THIS."
• 19:53 BECAUSE I REALLY FELT LIKE THE GOVERNMENT WAS NOT MY PROVIDER,
• 19:58 I FELT LIKE THE LORD CAN BE MY PROVIDER FOR ME AND I TOLD HIM,
• 20:01 "I HAVE A JOB AND A COLLEGE EDUCATION AND I KNOW THAT I CAN
• 20:06 "GO OUT THERE AND YOU CAN HELP ME YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF MY SON AND PROVIDE FOR HIM."
• 20:11 AND I THINK GOD HONORS THAT DECISION THAT I MADE.
• 20:14 HE HAS TENDERLY AND LOVINGLY PROVIDED FOR ME AND BUT THEN HE
• 20:20 ALSO TENDERLY AND LOVINGLY REBUKED ME.
• 20:23 YOU KNOW, CORRECTED ME.
• 20:25 AS A TRUE FATHER SHOULD AND I WISH I HAD HAD A FATHER LIKE THAT GROWING UP.
• 20:30 BUT I ONLY FEEL THAT YOU KNOW, INSURMOUNTABLE LEVEL OF LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR ME.
• 20:42 AND I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF OF THAT LOVE HE HAS FOR ME
• 20:47 SO I CAN CONTINUE TO SERVE HIM AND YOU KNOW, FOLLOW HIM
• 20:51 AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR PASTOR SAYS,
• 20:53 GOD'S LEVEL OF COMMITMENT TO US IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE ALWAYS
• 20:58 MORE THAN WHAT OUR LEVEL OF COMMITMENT TO HIM IS,
• 21:01 BECAUSE HE'S THERE, HE'S OUR HELPER,
• 21:03 PROVIDER, FRIEND, HE IS NOT JUST YOUR PERSON IN TIME OF NEED AND IN TROUBLE.
• 21:10 HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.
• 21:13 AND SO HOPEFULLY WHEN HE LOOKS DOWN, YOU KNOW, HE SEES SOMEONE
• 21:17 THAT LOVES HIM AND I KNOW HE'S LOOKING IN LOVE
• 21:21 AND NOT CONDEMNATION AND NOT INDIGNATION TOWARDS ME.

• 24:34 ENOCH, HE WALKED WITH GOD.
• 24:36 HE WAS IN A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 24:39 THAT WHOLE FAMILY FROM SETH THROUGH ENOCH AND LAMECH AND METHUSELAH AND NOAH AND SO ON
• 24:45 WERE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD.
• 24:48 HOW DO WE DO IT?
• 24:50 THE SCRIPTURE GIVES EXAMPLES OF IT,
• 24:55 THE BIBLE IS THE STORY OF ISRAEL AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 24:58 THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THAT.
• 25:00 IT IS NOT THE STORY OF AMERICA OR EPISCOPAL OR METHODIST OR LUTHERAN DENOMINATION.
• 25:05 IT IS THE STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND HOW THEY RELATED
• 25:08 TO GOD AND FROM THAT, WE LEARN.
• 25:10 IT SAYS IN I CORINTHIANS 10:11,
• 25:13 THESE THINGS HAPPENED UNTO THEM FOR EXAMPLES FOR US ON WHOM THE
• 25:18 END OF THE AGE ARE COME.
• 25:20 SO THERE'S A REASON THAT THE STORIES ARE TOLD IN DETAIL.
• 25:23 THE LONG LIVES LIVED BY THOSE SUFFERING ONES, JOB, EZEKIEL
• 25:28 AND JEREMIAH AND THE RICH AND FAMOUS ABRAHAM, SOLOMON AND DAVID.
• 25:33 THE HUMAN CONDITION IS STUDIED THOROUGHLY IN VIEW OF FINDING A
• 25:39 RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO GOD.
• 25:41 AND IF SCRIPTURE TEACHES NOTHING ELSE, THE JEWS RAN HOT AND COLD
• 25:45 WITH GOD EVEN AS WE CHRISTIANS DO.
• 25:48 AND WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP WAS RIGHT, THEY DID WELL AND THEY
• 25:52 PROSPERED AND WHEN IT WAS WRONG, THEY DID NOT PROSPER.
• 25:56 AND THE TERMS WERE GIVEN VERY EARLY IN THE BIBLE.
• 25:59 I GO BACK TO DEUTERONOMY 28.
• 26:25 AND THEN BLESSINGS FLOW IN THE NEXT FEW VERSES.
• 26:29 IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER TO READ UP TO A POINT.
• 26:43 AND ON IT GOES.
• 26:45 IT COULDN'T BE HAPPIER NEWS UNTIL WE COME INTO THE PLACE
• 26:47 IN THE CHAPTER THAT SAYS IF YOU HARKEN NOT UNTO MY LAW AND WE
• 26:51 GET PROPHECIES THAT SOME HAVE SAID FORECASTED THE HOLOCAUST.
• 26:56 THE DISPERSION OUT OF THE LAND AND THE DISPERSION CERTAINLY HAPPENED IN ANSWER TO PROPHECY.
• 27:03 SO WE HAVE THE SAME CHOICE.
• 27:05 WE CAN BE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP OR NOT.
• 27:07 NEXT WEEK, WE'LL TAKE UP THE STORY OF NOAH IN DETAIL.
• 27:11 OUR OFFER TONIGHT IS
• 27:12 OUR JEWISH CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE.
