Pharaoh Didn’t Let Them Go — He Was Forced | The Hidden Power of Exodus – Torah Portion Beshalach (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:08) Shabbat shalom everyone. Shabbat shalom. (00:00:11) >> Hallelujah. (00:00:13) This week we are in B shalak. Um a (00:00:17) beautiful epic in the Exodus. We now see (00:00:21) the release of the children of Israel by (00:00:23) the hand of Pharaoh. So what will we be (00:00:26) looking at this week? We're going to (00:00:28) look at the deliverance from Egypt and (00:00:31) how even the enemy plays a role in our (00:00:34) release. It's quite profound um because (00:00:38) there's a couple of different aspects to (00:00:39) deliverance. And we're going to uh look (00:00:42) at this week how even Pharaoh plays a (00:00:44) role in the deliverance of the children (00:00:47) of Israel. Uh we're going to look at how (00:00:49) in all deliverances (00:00:52) there is a recompense. There is a a (00:00:55) plunder that takes place. Um whenever we (00:00:58) are delivered and redeemed, Yah always (00:01:02) has a special blessing for his people (00:01:04) that have undergone trial and (00:01:06) tribulation. (00:01:08) Uh so how when we are released, there is (00:01:10) a plundering that takes place against (00:01:13) our oppressor. How does that relate to (00:01:15) us? How does that relate uh with Pharaoh (00:01:18) and Egypt? And then finally, we're going (00:01:20) to look at the bones of Joseph and its (00:01:24) connection to the resurrection of (00:01:25) Messiah. So, we're going to see um a (00:01:29) resurrection motif all the way in the (00:01:31) book of Exodus and that how after all (00:01:34) the plagues after the calamities and the (00:01:38) destruction of Egypt, um the blood of (00:01:41) the lamb and the death of the firstborn, (00:01:43) how it climactically leads up to this (00:01:46) really small moment in scripture, but (00:01:49) it's really profound. And that's the (00:01:52) um the bones of Joseph that are (00:01:55) resurrected so to speak out of the tomb. (00:01:58) They are Joseph is risen from the tomb. (00:02:01) The essence of Joseph is risen. So we're (00:02:04) going to see how that relates to the (00:02:05) resurrection of Christ. (00:02:08) So Tommy um if you would please tell us (00:02:11) Bashak in the Hebrew when you're ready. (00:02:13) >> Yeah, it's bishalak as you just said (00:02:15) Joe. Um, and the title bishalak comes (00:02:18) from the the root word shalak. Um, for (00:02:23) those familiar with the the Torah cycle, (00:02:26) we get this in um (00:02:28) para shalaka for example in numbers (00:02:32) later on and earlier on in the cycle v (00:02:36) shellac in in Genesis. It's a frequent (00:02:39) word in scripture. Um this word shellac (00:02:42) means to bid farewell, to let go, to put (00:02:46) forth, stretch out, to direct, to send, (00:02:49) to urgently send. (00:02:51) >> Mhm. (00:02:53) >> Um (00:02:54) it's usually related to a sense of (00:02:56) urgency, something there's a mission (00:02:58) involved. You know, there's a purpose (00:03:00) involved in the sending (00:03:02) quite frequently in scripture. And here (00:03:04) in par bishak (00:03:07) it refers to when pharaoh let the people (00:03:10) go with an urgency he drove them out. (00:03:14) See um it's b shalak begins with the (00:03:17) letter bait and usually it's it means (00:03:19) in. It's a preposition. It usually means (00:03:21) in. Um but here it's it's when. (00:03:26) As I say it's a preposition and in (00:03:27) context here it means when. Um, (00:03:31) so it's in his sending out or when he (00:03:36) sent out or when he sent, (00:03:38) >> thank you, (00:03:39) >> etc. But in reality, it's God doing the (00:03:42) sending through Pharaoh. (00:03:44) >> Lovely. (00:03:46) >> Um, and the people are now going to (00:03:49) become a nation. They're being prepared (00:03:51) to be become a nation. And ultimately, (00:03:54) God is preparing his bride. This is (00:03:57) what's happening. That's the bigger (00:03:58) picture. (00:04:00) And Shalak our the father also sent (00:04:03) Shalak his son to save the world. (00:04:07) And his son sends us to (00:04:10) to save the world (00:04:13) to to be a light in the darkness in (00:04:16) effect to go and fetch the bride. (00:04:20) And from that same root word shalac we (00:04:22) have shalak which is an apostle or a (00:04:25) sentent one. So we see the the relation (00:04:28) there. (00:04:30) The first Shalia that we see in the (00:04:33) Bible is the servant in Genesis 24 who (00:04:36) was sent by Abraham to find a wife for (00:04:39) Isaac. (00:04:40) So it's all about fetching the bride. (00:04:44) Yeah. That's Bashak. (00:04:46) >> Thank you, brother. (00:04:47) >> When he sent Hallelujah. Okay. So we're (00:04:50) going to open up to Exodus 13 and our (00:04:53) par begins actually in verse 17. It's (00:04:57) just a small segment of scripture this (00:04:59) that we're going to be looking at this (00:05:00) week. Uh but it's really profound and (00:05:02) there is a powerful gospel message (00:05:04) inside of it. And we're going to look at (00:05:06) things that are applicable for us and (00:05:08) see ourselves in this story. So Tom, if (00:05:11) you would please, Exodus 13 from verse (00:05:14) 17. Bashak. Then it came to pass when (00:05:16) Pharaoh had let the people go that God (00:05:19) didn't lead them by way of the land of (00:05:20) the Philistines, although that was near. (00:05:22) For God said, "Lest perhaps the people (00:05:25) change their minds when they see war and (00:05:28) return to Egypt." So God led the people (00:05:30) around by way of the wilderness of the (00:05:32) Red Sea. And the children of Israel went (00:05:34) up in orderly ranks out of the land of (00:05:37) Egypt. And Moses took the bones of (00:05:39) Joseph with him. For he had placed the (00:05:41) children of Israel under solemn oath, (00:05:43) saying, "God will surely visit you, and (00:05:46) you shall carry up my bones from here (00:05:48) with you." So they took their journey (00:05:50) from Sukot and camped in Eitham at the (00:05:54) edge of the wilderness. (00:05:56) And the Lord went before them by day in (00:05:59) a pillar of cloud to lead the way and by (00:06:01) night in a pillar of fire to give them (00:06:03) light so as to go by day and night. He (00:06:07) didn't take away the pillar of cloud by (00:06:09) day or the pillar of fire by night from (00:06:12) before the people. Bless you, bro. I (00:06:15) just love that verse 21 there. It says, (00:06:18) "And the Lord went with them to lead the (00:06:20) way. And the Lord went with them by day (00:06:24) and night to give them light." It's very (00:06:27) powerful. (00:06:29) Praise the Lord that he leads us in the (00:06:30) way. Praise the Lord that he gives us (00:06:32) light. (00:06:34) Okay, let's get into this. I want to (00:06:36) look at the forced release. Um because (00:06:39) there's a slight misconception there (00:06:41) when we recognize the wording of (00:06:43) Bashalak. Pharaoh was not just waving (00:06:46) the white flag of surrender and he just (00:06:49) conceded and he just lets the people go. (00:06:52) They're actually sent away by shalak. (00:06:55) Exodus 13:17. Then it came to pass when (00:06:58) Pharaoh had let the people go. But the (00:07:00) Hebrew there is b shalak and as you (00:07:03) brought there Tom that root words is (00:07:05) shalia from where we get sent sent with (00:07:08) an intent or an objective sent away. So, (00:07:11) this is more of a forced release and (00:07:14) we're going to unpack why um we need to (00:07:17) see that the children of Israel were not (00:07:19) just let go, they were forced out. They (00:07:22) were forced out. This is going to be (00:07:23) very powerful for us to understand (00:07:25) especially what's going to take place in (00:07:27) the last days. So, it's more akin to (00:07:29) when he sent them with audit (00:07:33) bash. Um and this has connotations with (00:07:37) being sent away by a mandate. Uh this (00:07:40) was not just (00:07:43) uh Pharaoh losing his grip. It was more (00:07:47) of a stronger hand forcing his hand to (00:07:50) do something, being sent away with (00:07:51) intent. So Pharaoh did not relax his (00:07:54) hand and concede. He was judged and he (00:07:57) sends the children of Israel away with a (00:07:59) strong hand. So this echoes covenantal (00:08:02) deliverance and how redemption comes (00:08:05) through judgment, not negotiation. (00:08:08) There actually no negotiation involved (00:08:10) in deliverance. We've all been delivered (00:08:12) from Hassetan and there is no (00:08:15) negotiation involved with the blood of (00:08:17) the lamb. Amen. There's just no (00:08:19) negotiation involved. So let's see where (00:08:21) else we see this. Exodus 6:1. Now you (00:08:24) shall see what I shall do to Pharaoh. (00:08:26) For with a strong hand he will let them (00:08:28) go and with a strong hand he will drive (00:08:31) them out of his land. So Pharaoh here, (00:08:35) he's not just permitting the children of (00:08:37) Israel to leave. He's reaching a point (00:08:39) where Israel's presence becomes (00:08:41) unbearable. (00:08:42) >> It's becoming unbearable. And many (00:08:46) scholars have translated this verse, (00:08:49) well, it's the Lord's hand, and it's the (00:08:52) Lord's strong hand that causes him to (00:08:54) drive them out. But we see the lower (00:08:57) case here representing the Pharaoh. And (00:08:59) I think the text is ambiguous for a (00:09:00) reason. But what Tommy said is perfect (00:09:03) because it is the sovereignity of Yah. (00:09:05) It is the providence of the most high. (00:09:07) And nothing happens on earth without his (00:09:09) yes and amen. So even though Pharaoh is (00:09:11) sending them away, it's the Lord. It's (00:09:13) the Lord bidden behind him. But what can (00:09:16) we glean from this? Pharaoh who is a (00:09:19) shadow of Satan, the god of this world. (00:09:22) Um and the god of this world, he follows (00:09:25) the same pattern with spiritfilled (00:09:26) believers. When we become a living (00:09:30) testimony of Yhovah's superiority (00:09:34) and we serve a higher king, the God of (00:09:37) this world loses jurisdiction. Not only (00:09:39) that, he loses his grip. But not only (00:09:43) will he begin to not tolerate you. He (00:09:45) He'll want to send you away out of his (00:09:47) vicinity and out of his land. Not only (00:09:49) will the enemy try and avoid you, he (00:09:52) won't even want you in his presence. (00:09:53) Because when we are spiritfilled (00:09:55) believers full of the light of the most (00:09:56) high, we emulate that light to the (00:09:58) world. And I've said this before, I'll (00:10:00) say it again. The greatest form of (00:10:03) deliverance that I have ever experienced (00:10:05) is walking in Yah's covenant. It's (00:10:08) walking in Yhovah's superiority. The (00:10:10) enemy wants nothing to do with a (00:10:12) spiritfilled believer who's brimming (00:10:14) over. The darkness cannot destroy the (00:10:16) light. The darkness cannot destroy the (00:10:19) light. It can only attempt to evict it. (00:10:21) It can only attempt to evict it. John (00:10:24) 1:45, "In him was life and the life was (00:10:27) the light of men and that light shines (00:10:30) in the darkness and the darkness cannot (00:10:32) comprehend it." Wow, that's amazing. (00:10:35) John's explaining in here that the light (00:10:37) actually dumbfounds the darkness. He (00:10:39) goes on to say in chapter 3, this is the (00:10:41) condemnation that the light has come (00:10:43) into the world and men love the darkness (00:10:46) rather than the light because their (00:10:48) deeds were evil. Everyone practicing (00:10:50) evil hates the light and does not come (00:10:53) to the light. Least their deed should be (00:10:55) exposed. (00:10:58) So look what it says here. Everyone (00:11:01) practicing evil hates the light. They do (00:11:03) not come to the light, least their deed (00:11:05) should be exposed. So it's it's really (00:11:08) important for us to actually be in the (00:11:10) light, isn't it? It's to be the light. (00:11:12) >> So look, I'm going to submit to you. We (00:11:15) can be so filled full of God's light (00:11:18) that the darkness just cannot tolerate (00:11:20) it. And you'll see it. There's people (00:11:22) who are filled with light. They walk in (00:11:24) a room in the world and every little (00:11:28) dark entity in there just shrivels away. (00:11:30) You know (00:11:32) like like that. I walk in somewhere and (00:11:35) everyone's like (00:11:41) never seen light like it in the life. (00:11:44) Praise the Lord. When we're filled with (00:11:45) light, you'll see it. You'll go into a (00:11:47) dark place, a dark vicinity. And because (00:11:49) you're an ambassador of the light, the (00:11:51) darkness just shrinks and dissolves (00:11:54) so we can be full of light. And and this (00:11:56) this here in in the deliverance of (00:11:58) Exodus, Pharaoh just doesn't want them (00:12:00) in the sight. Be gone. Bashak so we can (00:12:03) be filled full of God's light, walking (00:12:04) in Jehovah's superiority. (00:12:07) So I'm going to say that deliverance can (00:12:10) begin when compatibility ends. What do I (00:12:14) mean by that? So when we become (00:12:15) uncompatible with sin and uncompatible (00:12:18) with idols and we become uncompatible (00:12:21) with this world and we serve a higher (00:12:23) king and a higher God, when we become (00:12:25) uncompatible with the things of this (00:12:27) world, this world won't want to be in (00:12:29) us. The darkness will not want to hold (00:12:31) on to you. It will not want to even (00:12:33) attempt to come near you. So deliverance (00:12:35) can begin with in with compatib when (00:12:37) compatibility ends. This is the (00:12:40) importance of separation. This is why (00:12:42) Yah separates us. Not only does he say, (00:12:45) "I will rescue you." He says, "I will (00:12:47) deliver you, take you to be my people, (00:12:49) and separate you and make a (00:12:51) distinction." He makes a distinction in (00:12:53) the land of Egypt. (00:12:55) So (00:12:57) on the screen (00:12:59) is an image and artist impression of (00:13:01) when we are filled full of that light, (00:13:03) the darkness cannot comprehend it. We (00:13:06) are an enigma when we walk around in the (00:13:08) light. This means it cannot function (00:13:10) around you. It cannot understand. It (00:13:12) cannot com it can't be compatible with (00:13:16) you. It cannot comprehend the light. So (00:13:18) this is a great tactic for us that we (00:13:20) can just be filled full of Yah's spirit. (00:13:23) We can be filled full of the Lord, (00:13:25) filled full of his presence and the (00:13:28) darkness cannot comprehend it. The (00:13:30) darkness cannot comprehend it. We can (00:13:33) become bulletproof to the enemy when we (00:13:35) are spiritfilled believers. We need to (00:13:37) be fil full of light. The scripture (00:13:40) says, doesn't it, the lamp of the body (00:13:43) is the eye. (00:13:45) If therefore your eye is good, your (00:13:47) whole body will be full of light. But if (00:13:50) your eye is bad, your whole body will be (00:13:53) full of darkness. So there's a there's (00:13:55) it says here that our eye can be full of (00:13:59) light and if our eye is full of light, (00:14:01) our whole body will be full of light. (00:14:03) But if it's dark, it'll be full of (00:14:05) darkness. Are we beginning to see (00:14:08) that we can be filful of the light and (00:14:10) the darkness cannot comprehend it. This (00:14:13) is why it's important. It's paramount (00:14:16) because Yeshua is the light. He is the (00:14:19) light and the scripture calls the Torah (00:14:23) a light. Many times right throughout the (00:14:25) scripture, the Torah is indicative of a (00:14:27) light. So if we're filled full of that (00:14:29) light, the darkness cannot comprehend (00:14:31) it, beloved. So much so that the forces (00:14:35) of this world just don't want you in the (00:14:37) sight. They don't want you. There's (00:14:39) nothing the enemy hates worse than a (00:14:41) spiritfilled believer full (00:14:44) briming over with the ruach. They're (00:14:46) thinking, "Nah, (00:14:49) nah. Nah, just hit that one. Let's just (00:14:50) crack on over there. Let's just crack on (00:14:53) over there." (00:14:55) You got something to add? (00:14:58) Is light is the life of men? I've I've (00:15:00) I've had people saying to me and you (00:15:01) know the God feeling people saying (00:15:03) something like well I went for this job (00:15:06) interview and I just felt the darkness (00:15:07) in the room that spirit wasn't right and (00:15:10) I said but you've got Yeshua within you (00:15:13) shouldn't be thinking oh it's a bit dark (00:15:14) in here they should be thinking wa (00:15:16) there's light coming in the other way (00:15:18) around yeah (00:15:19) >> no we have Yeshua the light of the world (00:15:22) within us we're not here to shrink with (00:15:25) anything around us it's the other way (00:15:27) round (00:15:29) >> he is he and me than he was in. (00:15:30) >> He's conquered the world. (00:15:33) >> It's a bit like when um what's his name? (00:15:36) He was chained up and all this legion. (00:15:39) >> Legion. How many demonic spirits did he (00:15:41) have in him and they're all cowering (00:15:43) because he is the light of the world. (00:15:45) That's the way round it is. (00:15:47) >> That's the way round, man. That's the (00:15:48) formula. (00:15:49) >> Yeah. (00:15:51) I just love this emphasis on the light (00:15:53) cuz back in Genesis we read how God saw (00:15:56) that the light was good and that he (00:15:59) divided (00:16:00) >> the light from the darkness as we know (00:16:03) before the sun and the moon was created. (00:16:05) >> So this isn't about a physical light. (00:16:08) This is more of a supernatural light. (00:16:09) He's speaking of dividing. And it it (00:16:12) especially when you're coming to this (00:16:13) walk, it can be quite difficult because (00:16:15) as you're pursuing righteousness and (00:16:17) pursuing the truth naturally there is (00:16:20) separations that take place in our life, (00:16:22) maybe with relationships or things that (00:16:24) we do in the world. And division often (00:16:27) gets a bad rep in the Bible. Like we but (00:16:29) there's actually two forms of division. (00:16:31) There's an ungodly division and then (00:16:34) there's godly set aartness. And what (00:16:36) sets apartness is is to is to come out (00:16:38) from the darkness or as even Tommy (00:16:40) saying shine so bright that the that the (00:16:42) darkness can't stand and that is can't (00:16:44) stand before it. So (00:16:47) obviously when we have Yeshua in us (00:16:49) these things are possible. So I think (00:16:51) it's um (00:16:53) especially for those who are coming into (00:16:55) the faith it's it's important to note (00:16:57) that when you do see these divisions (00:16:59) take place they're often for your own (00:17:01) benefit. And that is God (00:17:03) >> separating the light from the darkness (00:17:05) just as we see in Genesis. He's doing (00:17:06) that within us um to others until until (00:17:09) it's their time to be called. (00:17:11) >> Bless you, bro. Thank you. Thank you. (00:17:14) So, yeah, deliverance can begin when (00:17:17) compatibility ends. They weren't (00:17:19) compatible with Egypt any longer. And (00:17:23) we're not compatible with this world. (00:17:25) And when we make ourselves incompatible (00:17:28) with sin, lust, whatever, (00:17:32) the the darkness is just like, man, the (00:17:36) hardware has changed. That software has (00:17:38) been upgraded. I am just not compatible (00:17:39) with that anymore. So Yeshua said the (00:17:42) lamp of the body is the eye and that our (00:17:45) eye needs to be good so that our whole (00:17:47) body is filled full of light. Okay, I (00:17:50) want to unpack this force release a (00:17:53) little bit further. Yeshua says this, (00:17:54) doesn't he, in the Gospel of Luke, Luke (00:17:56) 11:21-22. (00:17:58) When a strong man fully armed guards his (00:18:01) own palace, his goods are in peace. But (00:18:04) when a stronger than he comes upon him (00:18:06) and overcomes him, he takes away from (00:18:08) him all his armor in which he trusted, (00:18:10) and he divides his spoils. Now, this is (00:18:13) actually Exodus language here. This is (00:18:16) the Exodus in gospel form. The stronger (00:18:19) than he is, of course, indicative of Yah (00:18:21) against Pharaoh. What have we just read? (00:18:23) That Pharaoh was that strong man with (00:18:25) the strong hand that will drive away (00:18:26) with a strong release. And we're reading (00:18:28) here now in the gospel that Yeshua is (00:18:31) highlighting that the strong man is just (00:18:33) like Pharaoh. But this is of course (00:18:35) indicative of Satan. Pharaoh was that (00:18:38) strong man, wasn't he? Who had his goods (00:18:40) in place in his own palace. And what (00:18:43) happened? The stronger than he came upon (00:18:44) him and overcome him. He overcome him. (00:18:48) Who is that stronger than he? That's (00:18:50) Yah. that was Yah came against Pharaoh (00:18:52) in the book of Exodus Yeshua here comes (00:18:55) against the evil one. (00:18:57) So we can see um when the stronger than (00:19:01) he comes upon him and overcomes him. I (00:19:04) really enjoyed that. He said there Tom, (00:19:06) there's a there's a higher hand at work. (00:19:08) There's a higher hand at work. So I want (00:19:10) you to notice the words of the master. (00:19:12) The enemy does not decide to release (00:19:14) you. He is overpowered into compliance. (00:19:17) So the more we draw near to God, the (00:19:19) more we draw near to the stronger one (00:19:21) than he, the more odds we got of having (00:19:25) that real deliverance take place in our (00:19:27) lives. Now our oppressor, (00:19:31) Hassetan, he's not out to try and (00:19:35) surrender. He's going to try and put up (00:19:38) that fight. But we read here that the (00:19:40) stronger than he comes upon him and (00:19:42) overcomes him. (00:19:45) Our oppressor Hass has just like Pharaoh (00:19:50) in the end will be forced into (00:19:51) compliance. (00:19:53) So deliverance is a force released by (00:19:55) Yah because of a higher authority. He (00:19:58) says in Matthew 12, "And then he will (00:20:01) plunder his house." So again, what did (00:20:04) we read in Exodus? It's Exodus language (00:20:06) again. Thus the children of Israel (00:20:08) plundered Egypt. For those that know the (00:20:11) Torah, they're going to know what Yeshua (00:20:13) is going on about here. He's using (00:20:15) Exodus language to describe what takes (00:20:18) place now here and now today with a (00:20:21) spiritual deliverance. Notice here then (00:20:23) he will plunder his house. Israel (00:20:25) plundered Egypt and had enough wealth to (00:20:28) to kickstart their kingdom. (00:20:31) When we are delivered, we come away with (00:20:35) great spiritual wealth. (00:20:38) the the the gold and silver of Egypt is (00:20:42) now cast into a testimony. It's now cast (00:20:45) into (00:20:47) a a spiritual struggle that has now (00:20:50) become a living witness. It's now (00:20:53) refined you. Whether it be that (00:20:55) testimony in a trial, a certain strength (00:20:58) that you found from a a suffering or an (00:21:00) affliction, the spoils now come from the (00:21:04) struggles that we once had. and we come (00:21:07) away actually stronger. Do we see that (00:21:09) when we are delivered all the things the (00:21:12) enemy tried to use for (00:21:15) our downfall is flipped around reversed (00:21:18) and put on its head and they actually (00:21:19) equip us now for ministry. So in the (00:21:22) same way Israel became equipped to (00:21:25) kickstart their kingdom when we are (00:21:28) delivered the enemy has to hand over so (00:21:31) much towards us that is now going to be (00:21:33) used for the kingdom of God. Whether (00:21:35) that be a testimony, whether that be (00:21:37) physical scar of a battle uh that we now (00:21:41) can lead others a lamp. Yeah, I've been (00:21:43) there. Hey, look, it's this way. And we (00:21:46) become a living witness to them people. (00:21:48) When the enemy is stripped of his claim, (00:21:52) all that he wants threw at you becomes (00:21:54) the very fuel that drives the engine of (00:21:57) your spiritual ministry. (00:21:59) So, what do I mean by that? the the (00:22:02) prison that you were once in or the (00:22:04) chains that the enemy once held you (00:22:07) captive with, once you've broken free (00:22:09) from that, chances are that will (00:22:11) probably become a vital part of your (00:22:14) ministry to go and help other people in (00:22:16) the past. So, the very thing the enemy (00:22:18) tried to use against you becomes used as (00:22:21) a spiritual ministry for you to go and (00:22:23) then free other people. And it's quite (00:22:25) profound. You'll notice people who've (00:22:27) had trouble with drugs and alcohol and (00:22:30) then they get delivered from that. (00:22:31) Chances are they're going to know (00:22:32) because they've been there and they know (00:22:34) what addiction is like and then they go (00:22:35) and free other people or assist in (00:22:37) freeing other people who who are also (00:22:40) experienced drugs and alcohol. It it (00:22:42) gives one strength if you're going (00:22:44) through some kind of (00:22:46) period of your life and you're thinking (00:22:48) this is a bit of a struggle. Why is this (00:22:49) happening etc. (00:22:52) Like you said, it's usually so you can (00:22:54) help someone else further down the line. (00:22:56) >> Praise God. (00:22:57) >> And if God said to you, look, it's this (00:22:58) is going to come upon, this is going to (00:23:00) happen, you'd stand forward and say, (00:23:02) I'll take it to save them. (00:23:04) >> Beautiful. (00:23:04) >> You know, the these things happen in (00:23:06) life. And it's usually to either save (00:23:09) somebody or heal somebody of the same (00:23:12) affliction. (00:23:13) >> Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So the enemy (00:23:15) that once enslaved you has now made a (00:23:17) spectacle of us. It says and he (00:23:19) triumphed over them making a spectacle (00:23:21) of them. (00:23:23) And the Lord, he'll turn our captivity (00:23:27) into calling. He turns captivity into (00:23:30) calling. There they are in captivity. (00:23:31) Bang. There they are called to be the (00:23:33) light of the world. (00:23:36) >> So yeah, like Pharaoh, (00:23:39) the enemy can be then forced to fund the (00:23:41) very future. He tried to prevent Isaiah (00:23:45) 45:3, "Treasures of darkness, and I will (00:23:49) give you treasures of darkness and (00:23:51) hidden riches of the secret places." (00:23:54) Yahw simply just remove his people from (00:23:56) darkness. He teaches them how to extract (00:23:58) light from that very situation that they (00:24:00) are in. And when we come out of a (00:24:02) wilderness, we come out equipped, ready (00:24:05) to inherit a good land. All the things (00:24:07) that we once learned in our captivity (00:24:09) becomes the very engine for our calling. (00:24:15) Treasures of darkness. Paul puts it like (00:24:17) this regarding how tribulation builds (00:24:19) character and character then produces (00:24:22) perseverance and perseverance then faith (00:24:24) which is a bedrock of of of our (00:24:27) foundation of of faith. It's faith is (00:24:30) the confidence in things hope for. So (00:24:32) hope is a manifestation of our faith. He (00:24:34) puts it like this. And not only that, (00:24:37) but we also glory in tribulations. (00:24:40) I mean, who's going to glory in (00:24:42) tribulation? Normally people are like, (00:24:44) whoa, nah, not me. Paul's saying, no (00:24:48) glory and tribulation. Why? Knowing that (00:24:50) tribulation produces perseverance, and (00:24:53) perseverance, character, and character, (00:24:55) hope. Now, hope does not disappoint (00:24:58) because the love of God has been poured (00:24:59) out in the hearts by the Holy Spirit who (00:25:02) was given to us. So we see the uh the (00:25:05) chain reaction there that tribulation (00:25:09) leads to perseverance and perseverance (00:25:11) to character and character to hope. (00:25:15) What is hope then? (00:25:18) Hope separates God's people from despair (00:25:21) long before deliverance even arrives. (00:25:23) Hope is beautiful. I don't know where we (00:25:25) would be without hope. It's like an (00:25:27) assurance package, isn't it? That's what (00:25:29) it's like. And it's like you can just (00:25:31) pull this assurance package out and go, (00:25:32) "Well, God surely said and this is who I (00:25:35) believe in. And he who began a good work (00:25:37) in me is going to finish this." And and (00:25:39) and I get my marching orders off one (00:25:41) master chief and the Lord has said this (00:25:43) to me. And then hope actually becomes (00:25:45) relational. (00:25:47) Hope is not something that we have. It's (00:25:49) something that we actually do. Hope (00:25:51) keeps the soul alive whilst the terrible (00:25:53) situation is unresolved. Who's been (00:25:55) going through that terrible situation? (00:25:57) Thank God that he's g us and distilled (00:25:58) in us hope. Well, Paul's telling us here (00:26:01) that you you've only got there because (00:26:04) you've previously gone through a (00:26:05) tribulation. And what the enemy meant (00:26:07) for bad, the Lord is going to use for (00:26:08) good. It's all been part of the (00:26:11) training. It's been part of the (00:26:12) training. As I mentioned, Hebrews 11 (00:26:16) says that faith is the substance of (00:26:18) things hoped for. (00:26:21) So, when faith is real, hope is (00:26:23) inevitable. It's inevitable and it will (00:26:25) appear in your life and it's a (00:26:27) manifestation of our faith and we are (00:26:29) saved by faith through grace. (00:26:32) So our mindset needs to be when I come (00:26:35) out of this current prison, this current (00:26:38) time of tempting and terrible trial, the (00:26:40) enemy is going to be blundered, mate. (00:26:42) Cuz I'm walking out of it with (00:26:44) experience, with a testimony, with ed (00:26:47) edification, through trial. Because we (00:26:49) learn that suffering and affliction (00:26:51) brings forth transformation. (00:26:53) And what the enemy meant for for bad, (00:26:55) the Lord will use now for good. (00:26:58) >> Tribulation begets character. That's (00:27:00) what Paul's just said. Tribulation (00:27:02) begets character. Character leads forth (00:27:05) to hope. So being in Egypt (00:27:09) begets spiritual wealth. I told you they (00:27:12) plundered Egypt. So what is the silver (00:27:15) of Egypt that now we take out? Well, (00:27:17) when we were once here, we now come out (00:27:19) with a a trial through that testimony. (00:27:22) We now begin to develop and grow in (00:27:25) relationship with the Lord. and we (00:27:27) develop more and more a relationship and (00:27:30) more and more character in Yah and we (00:27:32) become hopeful vessels of the Lord and (00:27:35) then we can take that light into the (00:27:37) world. So God has a plan for it but we (00:27:39) can see legally that when you are (00:27:42) delivered something needs to be given to (00:27:44) you. We have to understand and grasp (00:27:46) this is the providence and the provision (00:27:48) that Yah has for us inside of a trial. (00:27:51) It's either of a great deliverance comes (00:27:53) recompense. Where do we see this? (00:27:57) Job. He's paid back bubble, isn't he? (00:27:59) Job 42:10. (00:28:02) Indeed, the Lord gave Job twice as much (00:28:04) as he had before. So after all the trial (00:28:07) and affliction, Job is restored double. (00:28:10) Job doesn't just recover. (00:28:14) The enemy's attack literally backfires (00:28:17) and he's restored. Not only is he (00:28:19) restored, he exceeds the loss that he (00:28:22) first had originally. Isn't that (00:28:24) incredible? So, if you're going through (00:28:26) a trial at this moment in time, fix your (00:28:30) eyes on the hope of what's coming (00:28:32) because the Lord has a double portion in (00:28:35) store for those that love him. It's the (00:28:37) truth. It's written in the Torah because (00:28:39) the faith has to pay back double. (00:28:43) >> That's legal. Exodus 22:7 in the Torah (00:28:46) of the Most High, if the thief is found, (00:28:49) he shall pay back double. What is Satan (00:28:53) called? Satan is that thief that comes (00:28:55) to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan is (00:28:58) called a thief. He comes to steal the (00:29:00) good seed sown in the hearts of men. (00:29:03) This is his job. If the thief is found, (00:29:05) he shall pay back double. So if you're (00:29:07) going through a trial, (00:29:09) be ready because recompense must take (00:29:12) place in the Torah of the Most High. (00:29:14) That's written. (00:29:16) Double needs to be paid back. Not just (00:29:18) for theft. For any kind of trespass, he (00:29:22) shall pay back double to his neighbor. (00:29:24) Trespasses must pay back double. So if (00:29:28) you feel there's an injustice taking (00:29:29) place, wait on the Lord. Wait on the (00:29:32) Lord cuz there's a recompense coming. (00:29:34) And after time, that blessing that we so (00:29:37) desire, it does actually come boxed up. (00:29:41) It comes boxed up in a bit of a trial. (00:29:44) The Lord always has something good in (00:29:46) store for his children. And he wants to (00:29:49) produce a perseverance within us. He (00:29:50) wants to develop our spiritual character (00:29:53) so that we will have hope moving (00:29:54) forward. That we will begin to depend (00:29:56) upon him. That we will begin to trust in (00:29:58) him. (00:30:01) Oppression never pays back evenly. It (00:30:04) always pays back with interest. So if (00:30:06) you feel hard done by in a situation, (00:30:09) wait upon the Lord. He is a deliverer. (00:30:11) It's his intentionality to deliver us. (00:30:14) They came out with a great wealth. We (00:30:16) come out with a great spiritual wealth (00:30:19) >> upon our deliverance. We can walk in so (00:30:22) much provision from what we've inherited (00:30:24) from our captivity. Got something to (00:30:26) add, bro? (00:30:28) Well, I was just thinking as you're (00:30:29) speaking. Um, thus (00:30:32) the Israelites bonded the Egyptians (00:30:35) which is delivered. You know, I'm (00:30:37) thinking maybe the articles of silver, (00:30:40) gold, and clothing was double what they (00:30:43) owed them. I mean all all that the (00:30:46) possessions and the phys material wealth (00:30:48) they had was off the backs of the the (00:30:49) enslavement. (00:30:50) >> Yeah. (00:30:51) >> So their guilt now is is redeemed (00:30:54) through they've restored it double you (00:30:56) know so I'm wondering did they get (00:30:58) double of like what what was taken off (00:31:00) the sweat of their brows? Yeah, (00:31:01) probably, mate. I mean, when we get (00:31:03) through into the book of Numbers and and (00:31:05) we begin to see the treasury and the (00:31:07) counts and all the articles of gold and (00:31:09) silver and these gems, it's like, wow, (00:31:12) how do you think they managed to live in (00:31:13) the desert with nothing? But they were (00:31:15) one of the wealthiest (00:31:17) >> nations at this point, you know, because (00:31:20) they literally plundered Egypt, but they (00:31:22) were owed for the captivity of 400 (00:31:24) years, whatever people want to say (00:31:26) scholarly. (00:31:26) >> But that would also remove the guilt of (00:31:28) the Egyptians as well. They paid it (00:31:29) back, don't they? fade it back. Yeah, (00:31:31) >> you know. Yeah. (00:31:32) >> Yeah. (00:31:33) >> Delivered. (00:31:35) >> Let's see how in the uh the biatitude (00:31:37) there is a role reversal of affliction. (00:31:40) Matthew 5. And seeing the multitude he (00:31:43) went on a mountain and when he was (00:31:44) seated his disciples came to him. Then (00:31:46) he opened his mouth and taught them (00:31:48) saying blessed are the poor in spirit (00:31:50) for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (00:31:53) Blessed are those who mourn for they (00:31:56) shall be comforted. Blessed are the (00:31:58) meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (00:32:01) Blessed are those who hunger of theirs (00:32:02) for righteousness, for they shall be (00:32:04) filled. Blessed are the merciful, for (00:32:07) they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the (00:32:09) pure in heart, for they shall see God. (00:32:12) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they (00:32:14) shall be called sons of God. (00:32:17) Blessed are those who are persecuted for (00:32:20) righteousness's sake, for theirs is the (00:32:22) kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when (00:32:25) they revile you and persecute you and (00:32:28) say all manner of evil things against (00:32:30) you falsely for my name's sake. Rejoice (00:32:33) exceedingly and be glad for great is (00:32:36) your reward in heaven. We see it. Bang (00:32:38) bang the giving of the Torah part two. (00:32:42) Love it. Yeah. So notice carefully here (00:32:45) as well how the biatitude and these (00:32:48) these are promises uh the promises of of (00:32:52) the kingdom and they begin with the (00:32:54) kingdom and they end with the kingdom. (00:32:57) >> It's kingdom this is kingdom. Everything (00:32:59) in between explains how you walk through (00:33:01) loss and still exit with an inheritance (00:33:04) and a dominion. the poor in spirit, the (00:33:07) mourers, the hungry, the thirsty, the (00:33:09) persecuted, the all restoratively (00:33:12) rewarded by Yah (00:33:14) in his kingdom. (00:33:17) Do we see it? So we must understand then (00:33:21) our persecution, our trial, our (00:33:23) suffering or our affliction never (00:33:26) disqualifies inherit inheritance. It (00:33:29) only ever confirms it. This is why Paul (00:33:32) says, "Yeah, I'll go around boasting in (00:33:34) me affliction." I'm like, "Oh my days." (00:33:36) Is is he is he I'm reading this going, (00:33:38) "Has he lost the plot?" He's like, "I'm (00:33:40) boasting in trial and stri twice (00:33:42) shipwrecked." And I'm like, (00:33:45) he's boasting in that cuz he understood. (00:33:48) He understands this. It's what the Lord (00:33:50) has in store for them that love him. So (00:33:52) the beatitudes are not passive comfort (00:33:54) statements. I used to read that and be (00:33:56) like, "Oh, isn't that nice?" They're not (00:33:59) passive comfort statements. The (00:34:01) covenantal reversals for children of (00:34:04) God, their legal Torah obligations, (00:34:08) those who appear to lose are actually a (00:34:11) curing divine (00:34:14) restitution. Look at Yeshua. He's on the (00:34:17) cross there. Looks like he's losing. (00:34:19) There he is next minute, the King of (00:34:21) Kings and the Lord of Lords in a in a (00:34:22) glorified transformed body. Wow. Do we (00:34:25) see it? (00:34:28) Revelations 12:11. And they overcame (00:34:30) him, Hassetan, by the blood of the lamb (00:34:33) and by the word of their testimony. (00:34:35) Okay, so I've got a question. If the (00:34:37) testimony becomes a weapon in the last (00:34:39) days against the evil one of how we (00:34:41) overcome Satan, how are you going to (00:34:44) overcome Satan if you haven't got a (00:34:45) testimony? Because the two counterparts (00:34:48) of the blood of the lamb and the word (00:34:49) your testimony. So you're going to need (00:34:51) a testimony (00:34:53) to overcome the evil one. How are you (00:34:55) going to have a testimony if you'd never (00:34:57) been in Egypt and been delivered and (00:34:59) never had an encounter with the living (00:35:01) God? Testimony has the word test in it. (00:35:05) It's a testimony. (00:35:08) How are you going to have a testimony if (00:35:09) you don't pass the test? You see, there (00:35:11) is a testimony that the Lord wants to (00:35:13) give all of us as a weapon to overcome (00:35:15) the evil one. But to have that (00:35:17) testimony, well, we got to walk through (00:35:19) that wilderness. We got to come out and (00:35:21) we got to see the Lord's hand at work. (00:35:24) We need to be a living testimony to what (00:35:26) he has done in our lives. Amen. (00:35:29) >> Amen. (00:35:31) So we need that testimony. Yeah. We need (00:35:33) that testimony. And this is the (00:35:35) testimony of how good God is. And this (00:35:37) is what I believe the spoils are that (00:35:39) are divided. This is how we plunder the (00:35:42) enemy now cuz we walk away redeemed with (00:35:44) the blood of the lamb and the word of a (00:35:46) testimony. Powerful. (00:35:50) So keep the faith, beloved. Yeshua has (00:35:53) got this one under full control. Full (00:35:56) control. Hasan is just an angel. He's a (00:36:00) created thing. The Lord's got this under (00:36:02) full control. Amen. (00:36:06) And when Yeshua spoke them words about (00:36:08) the one stronger than he who comes and (00:36:10) overpowers him. He divides the spoil. He (00:36:13) plumbers Hassatan. You've now become the (00:36:17) Lord's property. (00:36:19) And no one's taken the Lord's property (00:36:21) off him, mates. He even says that (00:36:22) they're in my hand and no one will take (00:36:25) them from me. I love that. Praise the (00:36:28) Lord. Praise the Lord. You then begin to (00:36:30) understand that the second coming of (00:36:31) Christ is not just about bringing (00:36:33) justice on the earth. As Tommy said, (00:36:35) he's coming back for what's rightfully (00:36:37) his. He's coming back for his own (00:36:39) possession. (00:36:40) >> I love it. (00:36:42) Okay, we're going to move on now and um (00:36:46) we're going to actually look now at one (00:36:47) of the the clearest pictures in the (00:36:50) Torah of the resurrection, I believe. (00:36:52) Before we examine Joseph and the bones (00:36:55) of Joseph being risen from the tomb, (00:36:58) let's just refresh on who Joseph (00:37:00) actually was. He's the beloved son. Uh (00:37:04) he's despised and rejected by his (00:37:06) brothers. (00:37:07) Um he is thrown in a pit. He rises from (00:37:11) a prison to be seated at the right hand (00:37:13) of power. He suffers injustly. (00:37:17) But then he becomes (00:37:20) the most powerful prophetic prince. He's (00:37:24) ex exalted to the right hand of power (00:37:26) and whereby he delivers the known world (00:37:28) from a great doom, a great destruction (00:37:31) uh Jew and Gentile brings them into go (00:37:35) and he becomes savior of the known (00:37:36) world. That's I mean that arc alone just (00:37:40) screaming Yeshua, isn't it? (00:37:42) >> But Exodus 13 takes this further. It (00:37:45) just takes it further. It pushes it one (00:37:47) step further for Joseph because Joseph's (00:37:50) body will now vacate the tomb where he (00:37:54) was buried. Um (00:37:57) his body will be explicitly carried out (00:37:59) in the Exodus. A clear typology of (00:38:02) vacating the grave. Joseph vacates the (00:38:04) grave here. and Egypt. The the the tomb, (00:38:08) the Egyptian tomb, a picture of Shaw, (00:38:10) and his body under goes an exodus all (00:38:13) the way to the promised land because (00:38:15) Joseph isn't just took out of the tomb. (00:38:17) He goes with the children of Israel (00:38:19) right the way through the wilderness for (00:38:21) the 40 years and then he's buried in (00:38:23) Sheckchum. So, he comes out of Shaw and (00:38:25) then he goes with them all the way (00:38:27) through the wilderness wandering goes ra (00:38:30) with them to the promised land. That's (00:38:31) that's Joseph. How how often do we (00:38:33) forget that? Let's read about it. Exodus (00:38:37) 13:19. And Moses took the bones of (00:38:40) Joseph with him. For he had placed the (00:38:43) children of Israel under a solemn oath, (00:38:44) saying, "God will surely visit you, and (00:38:47) you shall carry my bones up from here (00:38:49) with you." So, there's a few things that (00:38:51) we can see here. Firstly, look at who (00:38:54) who it is who takes the bones of Joseph. (00:38:56) Who is it? It's Moses, isn't it? It's (00:38:59) Moses. Now, before any of the children (00:39:03) leave Egypt, the first thing Moses does (00:39:05) is what? He lifts up Joseph. Moses, he's (00:39:10) a picture of what? The law. And he's (00:39:12) assisting in the resurrection of Messiah (00:39:15) Ben Joseph. He's assisting in the in the (00:39:18) resurrection of Messiah. Now, we know (00:39:21) that Yeshua did not transgress the Lord (00:39:24) of Moses. So, death had no legal claim (00:39:26) over him because he didn't sin. So Moses (00:39:29) still assists even in the resurrection (00:39:31) of Messiah now for us. So we're seeing (00:39:34) this typology playing out. I want you to (00:39:37) see how Joseph is not judged by Moses. (00:39:41) He's carried. He's vindicated by Moses. (00:39:44) In the same way, Messiah who was without (00:39:46) sin did not transgress Moses and (00:39:49) therefore the grave could not hold him (00:39:51) because the law had no legal (00:39:52) jurisdiction against him. Likewise too, (00:39:55) Moses is involved in the resurrection of (00:39:58) Yeshua, so to speak. So, we're seeing (00:40:00) this play out right before right before (00:40:02) our eyes in the book of Exodus. (00:40:04) So, whilst it's only God that can make (00:40:06) this happen, notice how the law is (00:40:09) intrinsically still involved in the (00:40:12) resurrection, so to speak, of Joseph. (00:40:15) Moses still now, as we know, assists in (00:40:19) the gospel because Yeshua did not (00:40:21) transgress Moses. I want you to notice (00:40:24) how Joseph is raised from the tomb and (00:40:26) his tomb becomes what? Empty. Matthew (00:40:29) 28:5-6. (00:40:31) But the angel answered and said to the (00:40:32) woman, "Do not be afraid, for I know (00:40:35) that you seek Yeshua who was crucified. (00:40:38) He is not here, for he is risen." (00:40:43) The same thing could have been said in (00:40:44) the tomb of Joseph in it. He's not here (00:40:46) for he is risen. (00:40:49) Notice also how Joseph and Yeshua both (00:40:53) have the same body, but it's (00:40:54) transformed. Joseph's body was in a (00:40:56) sense without corruption because we read (00:40:59) in Genesis how he is embarmed. (00:41:03) And if you know about mummification (00:41:06) that would preserve the body intact (00:41:07) perfectly. I mean, they're still digging (00:41:09) up mummies now, thousands of years ago, (00:41:10) and the perfectly intact. It's like his (00:41:14) body would have been perfectly (00:41:15) preserved. only the marks of his death (00:41:18) would have been shown on his skin. Very (00:41:20) similar and very indicative to Yeshua. (00:41:25) Genesis 50:26. And Joseph died being 110 (00:41:28) years old and they embarmed him. So when (00:41:32) he come out of that tomb, this is not a (00:41:34) throwaway detail. His original body was (00:41:37) preserved with purpose. Yeshua likewise (00:41:40) follows this with the resurrection (00:41:41) pattern. When Yeshua raises, he's got (00:41:44) that same body that he died in, but (00:41:46) glorified. Notice, behold my hands and (00:41:49) my feet, that it is mine, myself. Handle (00:41:51) me and see. For a spirit does not have (00:41:53) flesh and bones as you see. Reach your (00:41:56) fingers here and look on my hands and (00:41:58) reach your hand here and put it in my (00:42:00) side. Do we see? It's powerful, isn't (00:42:02) it? (00:42:03) >> Notice how both men wear the body that (00:42:05) they died in. Same body, but in a new (00:42:06) mode of existence. It's powerful. (00:42:09) >> I didn't care if you mentioned it or (00:42:11) not. Cool. (00:42:11) >> But how Yeshua's tomb was actually a (00:42:14) Joseph's tomb also. (00:42:15) >> Oh, beautiful. (00:42:17) >> Oh, yeah. No, I didn't mention that, (00:42:18) bro. (00:42:19) >> Tomb was empty twice. (00:42:20) >> Oh, wow. Yeah. Beautiful. Good catch, (00:42:22) man. Thank you so much for that. See, (00:42:24) man, that's how I love when the the the (00:42:25) ruak just ministers. We got it like a (00:42:28) little piece and then you just click (00:42:29) another jigsaw piece in and we're going, (00:42:30) "Wow." (00:42:32) Okay, so we probably got about another (00:42:34) 20 minutes, half an hour left, but I (00:42:36) want to reveal something here, and this (00:42:38) is really profound that it's important (00:42:41) for us to see that after the collapse of (00:42:43) Egypt, what does Moses do? The first (00:42:46) thing he does, he goes straight to (00:42:48) Joseph. (00:42:50) >> Now, remember, these two had never met. (00:42:52) Joseph had been dead for many (00:42:54) generations before Moses was born. Yet, (00:42:57) Moses honors Joseph before anything (00:42:59) else. (00:43:01) He lifts him up before anything else. (00:43:03) And Moses, he's unable to fully see (00:43:05) Joseph because he's embarmed. But Joseph (00:43:08) still accompanies Moses right the way (00:43:11) through the wilderness (00:43:13) even though he isn't fully (00:43:16) >> seen like a veiled. We see through a gas (00:43:20) dimly. Do you see this? And he goes (00:43:23) right to the promised land with them. (00:43:25) How often can we look past that? that (00:43:28) Messiah, Ben, and Joseph is accompanying (00:43:31) the children of Israel right through the (00:43:32) wilderness for 40 years. Moses doesn't (00:43:35) get in. Joseph does. (00:43:37) >> He goes straight to Sheim. (00:43:40) It's powerful. We can lose sight of this (00:43:42) though, that Messiah, Ben, Yoseph went (00:43:44) with them right the way through the (00:43:46) wilderness. We focus on the cloud and (00:43:48) the pillar of fire and the ark of the (00:43:50) covenant. What about the essence of (00:43:53) Joseph that accompanied with them every (00:43:55) step of the way? It's like Jesus, isn't (00:43:57) it? We walk through the valley of the (00:44:00) shadow of death, but he's with us. I (00:44:01) will never leave you nor forsake you. (00:44:03) Lo, I am with you even to the end of the (00:44:05) age. It's the same. (00:44:09) This is a clear picture of Jesus going (00:44:11) out with the children of Israel and (00:44:13) partaking, Messiah and Yseph, partaking (00:44:15) in the Exodus with them. Comes out with (00:44:17) us. He's our deliverer. Do we see it? (00:44:20) And he goes through the wilderness with (00:44:21) them right throughout all their trial (00:44:23) and tribulation. There's Messiah Ben (00:44:25) Ysef the whole time. When they're (00:44:27) released, they go out of Egypt. And (00:44:30) there goes the the essence of Joseph (00:44:33) with them. It's powerful. The son of (00:44:35) promise. There's the Moses, the law, and (00:44:38) there's Joseph, Messiah, Ben, and (00:44:40) Joseph. It's the law and the grace going (00:44:42) through the wilderness with them. It's (00:44:44) right there. Clear picture. (00:44:47) I just wanted to bring this to your (00:44:48) attention now. And this is not something (00:44:50) that we we always like to do. But our (00:44:53) Jewish brothers and sisters, they are (00:44:55) really the they basically see this in a (00:45:01) in a way. And I'm thinking, how do they (00:45:03) not see Yeshua in this? So our our (00:45:06) Jewish brothers and sisters, they (00:45:07) actually attribute the sea splitting to (00:45:11) Joseph. Isn't this weird? So listen, I'm (00:45:13) not saying this is true, but I want you (00:45:15) to see this that this is their school of (00:45:17) thought. And I'll put on the screen four (00:45:20) different uh Jewish texts that speak (00:45:25) that uh when they have a midrash on the (00:45:28) part of the sea and we know that Moses (00:45:30) stretches out his hand but there's a (00:45:32) psalm there that says that when the sea (00:45:34) saw the sea parted and they midrash says (00:45:37) suggests that this was on the merit of (00:45:40) the bounds of Joseph that the sea split. (00:45:44) Rashi in his explanation of this he says (00:45:47) in the merit of Joseph's bones which (00:45:49) were in the coffin which they brought (00:45:51) from Egypt the sea split. So four times (00:45:54) they mention this four times they (00:45:56) mention it. So it's quite profound and (00:45:58) it's like if this is a picture of Jesus (00:46:01) this is before the ark. This is before (00:46:02) the ark of the covenant and this this um (00:46:06) this these bones this of Joseph is going (00:46:08) with them. And they're actually saying (00:46:10) in their text, "Oh, look, met it because (00:46:12) of Joseph. It's because of Joseph." It's (00:46:14) like, "Wow, that's deep, man." (00:46:18) >> Mashiach Ben Ysef. (00:46:19) >> The earth is refusing to swallow (00:46:21) Joseph's bones. (00:46:22) >> Beautiful. (00:46:23) >> He's in the proper place that was (00:46:25) promised for him to be. (00:46:26) >> Oh. Oh, wow. I love it. Fire. It's on (00:46:29) fire. Thank you. Love it, man. (00:46:32) So, how often do we forget that Joseph's (00:46:34) essence accompanied them out of the land (00:46:37) of Egypt and through the wilderness? (00:46:40) For 40 years, they go through trial and (00:46:42) tribulation. (00:46:44) This is a picture above of what our (00:46:47) Jewish brothers and sisters say (00:46:48) regarding the coffin of Joseph. Now in (00:46:52) Jewish texts going further, they for (00:46:54) tell how the ark of the covenant was (00:46:57) permanently permanently accompanied with (00:47:00) the coffin of Joseph. So listen to this (00:47:03) here in in sot 13a and this is a quote (00:47:06) directly from what they believe and I'm (00:47:09) not saying that this is 100% legit, but (00:47:12) this is what our Jewish brothers and (00:47:13) sisters believe. For 40 years, Israel (00:47:16) traveled in the wilderness and two arcs (00:47:18) went with them. Well, we know that's (00:47:20) true, don't we? because we've just read (00:47:21) it. One ark was for the Shikina glory, (00:47:24) the ark of the covenant, and the other (00:47:26) was the coffin of Joseph. And they (00:47:28) asked, "Is it the way of the dead to (00:47:31) travel with the Shikina?" And they (00:47:32) answered, "This one, Joseph, fulfilled (00:47:35) what is written in the Torah." So even (00:47:37) the Jews are saying that Joseph did the (00:47:39) Torah before the Torah even existed and (00:47:42) that he fulfilled the Torah. I'm going, (00:47:44) "My days, this is Yeshua. How did he not (00:47:47) see? There's the one that fulfilled the (00:47:49) Torah before the Torah even existed and (00:47:51) it's Joseph. It was like powerful in it. (00:47:55) And the reason why they come up with (00:47:57) this in the Midrash is that the word (00:47:58) coffin or casket is identical. It's the (00:48:01) same word for ark. So they say every (00:48:05) time we see the ark, it's the coffin as (00:48:08) well because it's the same word. The (00:48:10) casket and the coffin or the ark is the (00:48:12) same word. So they always say when the (00:48:14) when when the ark went the coffin was (00:48:16) with it. So much so that they even (00:48:18) believe in their school of thought that (00:48:21) it was actually Joseph that goes in (00:48:23) during the campaigns of Joshua. It's (00:48:26) like flipping heck man. (00:48:29) It's just like Yeshua though in it the (00:48:31) warrior lamb going before. It's like wow (00:48:33) I love it. And as we can see on the (00:48:35) screen the midlash plays on that coffin (00:48:38) and arc are exactly the same. It's aon (00:48:41) shakan aon of yet yph. So it's the same (00:48:45) it's the same word. So they put two and (00:48:47) two together and say anytime we see the (00:48:49) ark going in well it's it's Joseph going (00:48:51) in as well. It's like wow it's powerful. (00:48:54) So this is powerful. (00:48:56) Just imagine it for a minute. The walls (00:48:58) of Jericho. It's not just the ark of the (00:49:00) covenant. It's Messiah Ben Ysef going (00:49:03) around the city. The partner of the sea. (00:49:05) This the sea of reads. It's not just the (00:49:07) ark. It's Messiah Ben Ysef. It's Jesus. (00:49:10) It's Jesus. It's Jesus. And what they (00:49:13) say is that the coffin actually went (00:49:16) before the ark. It's like, what? Make up (00:49:19) what you will with that. But you've got (00:49:21) the word of the Lord, the covenants, and (00:49:23) then you've got Messiah Ben Yoseseph, (00:49:25) the king, just going through the (00:49:27) wilderness with the children of Israel. (00:49:28) It's like, wow, that's really powerful (00:49:30) and profound. It's quite mind-blowing. (00:49:33) The battles with the giants. There it (00:49:36) is. There goes the ark. There goes (00:49:38) Messiah Ben Ysef. (00:49:40) >> It's powerful. It reminds me (00:49:44) of a scripture like this. And lo, I am (00:49:46) with you always, even to the end of the (00:49:50) age. Amen. He's with us always. He was (00:49:52) with them always. And he's with us (00:49:54) always. Hebrews 13:5. For he himself has (00:49:58) said, I will never leave you nor forsake (00:50:01) you. And listen to this what Paul says (00:50:03) in the BSP. 2 Corinthians 4:10. For we (00:50:07) carry around in our body the death of (00:50:10) Yeshua Hamashiach so that the life of (00:50:13) Jesus Jesus may also be revealed in our (00:50:15) body. It's the same story in it. (00:50:19) >> It's the same story. Praise Yah. So (00:50:21) likewise beloved whenever we go into a (00:50:25) battle just as the Israelites had the (00:50:27) son of promise with them the first (00:50:29) Messiah and the ark of the covenant the (00:50:31) word of God. We too have the Messiah and (00:50:35) the word of God with us. It's the same (00:50:37) story. (00:50:39) Amen. We always carry around in our body (00:50:42) the death of Jesus Christ. Okay. So to (00:50:45) finish now, I hope you don't mind, bro. (00:50:47) I've borrowed the keys for your Tommy's (00:50:49) little time machine. (00:50:51) >> No problem. (00:50:52) >> You don't mind, do you? (00:50:53) >> No. No. There's always a seat there for. (00:50:54) >> Yeah. Great. So, we're going to take (00:50:56) we're going to take a trip in Tommy's (00:50:58) little time machine now. (00:51:00) fly back throughout the age. Yeah. (00:51:03) >> To go and see another profound truth. (00:51:04) Gueda, (00:51:05) >> we never go forward. We only ever go (00:51:08) >> the forward for him. (00:51:09) >> Okay. Great, man. So, we're going to (00:51:12) take a little trip in Tommy's time (00:51:13) machine now. And uh we're going to see (00:51:16) one final profound truth that I I really (00:51:18) want to share with you because I think (00:51:20) this is big and it relates to everything (00:51:22) we've been studying. So, please just (00:51:24) tune in last 10 minutes now. And uh (00:51:27) yeah, I really want to bless you with (00:51:28) this cuz I I really feel that it (00:51:30) concludes the Exodus in a great way. (00:51:34) Not only did God Yah shatter the idols (00:51:37) and the gods of Egypt and collapse (00:51:39) everything (00:51:41) for Pharaoh for all that he'd built and (00:51:43) all the Egyptians depended upon. But (00:51:45) there is one more subtle power move that (00:51:48) takes place in Exodus 13. And the (00:51:51) majority of us have actually missed it. (00:51:53) But the only way you're gonna understand (00:51:54) this is taking a little trip in Tommy's (00:51:56) time machine. So get in now. Buckle up. (00:52:00) We're going to be looking out the (00:52:01) windows and we're going back now to the (00:52:02) book of Exodus. Okay? We're going back (00:52:04) to Exodus 13 in Tommy's little time (00:52:08) machine. And we're all going to be (00:52:09) looking out the windows and going, "Oh, (00:52:11) look, there's Moses and he's going to (00:52:13) the tomb of Joseph and he's coming out (00:52:15) now with the bones of Joseph from this (00:52:17) Egyptian tomb. He's in barn." So we're (00:52:20) going back. I'm going to take you back (00:52:21) cuz this is actually huge. It's really (00:52:23) big. So, recall back to what's the first (00:52:26) thing Moses does? He goes and gets (00:52:29) Joseph before they get off. Before they (00:52:31) go, before he gets his livestock and his (00:52:33) mates, he goes to get Joseph, doesn't (00:52:36) he? He goes to get the bones of Joseph. (00:52:38) Now, Joseph, as we read, was embarmed (00:52:42) by the Egyptians. So, he'd undergone (00:52:44) rights and ceremonies of the Egyptians. (00:52:48) Now, for Moses to have done this, to (00:52:50) have gone and got Joseph out of a tomb, (00:52:54) to have to gone and got him, this would (00:52:56) have been seen as a great insult in the (00:53:00) religious system of Egypt. We know today (00:53:03) that the Egyptians were obsessed with (00:53:06) preserving the dead in a tomb. So much (00:53:09) so, they put spells on it. And grave (00:53:11) robbers that go have actually died (00:53:13) through these incantations and these (00:53:15) serious spells of witchcraft. and (00:53:18) they've they've actually perished (00:53:19) because they were so serious about (00:53:21) preserving the dead. They're so serious (00:53:23) about preserving the dead. So for Moses (00:53:25) to have done this, this would have been (00:53:27) a very grievous insult not only on the (00:53:29) society of Egypt, but on the foundation (00:53:32) of their religious belief system. (00:53:35) >> I'm going to unpack a little bit of what (00:53:38) the Egyptian book of the dead says (00:53:39) regarding this. Because for the (00:53:42) Egyptians, they believed to preserve the (00:53:45) body was not optional. It was how one (00:53:47) attained salvation. (00:53:49) That when they were put to rest and they (00:53:51) were embarmed, that was it then until (00:53:53) that was it. And that if you interfered (00:53:55) with that body, not only were you going (00:53:57) to curse yourself, you were also (00:54:00) bringing a great charge against the gods (00:54:02) of the underworld, Osiris. And you were (00:54:04) also interfering with that person's (00:54:06) salvation. So here we have Moses. What (00:54:08) does he go and do? What's the first (00:54:09) thing that he goes and does? It's very (00:54:11) deep. So in the Egyptian book of the (00:54:13) dead for the Egyptians the body the cat (00:54:15) had to remain intact so that the car the (00:54:18) life force and the bar the personality (00:54:20) could return. The tomb of the buried was (00:54:23) thus the eternal address and the land of (00:54:26) Egypt in the the book of the dead was (00:54:29) actually sacred soil and then if you (00:54:31) moved that person from the sacred soil (00:54:34) to somewhere else they were cut off from (00:54:37) salvation. What's Moses up to here? Oh, (00:54:40) naughty Moses, what are you up to? And (00:54:43) they believe that disturbing a tomb is (00:54:45) grievous, a grievous insult, sacrilege. (00:54:48) So, one could be considered cut off from (00:54:50) the afterlife because of this. (00:54:53) And I'm quoting from the Egyptian book (00:54:54) of the dead there. The dead was required (00:54:56) to have a body intact, have a stable (00:54:59) tomb undisturbed, and have continual (00:55:02) placements in Egyptian soil. And there's (00:55:04) a quote here from the book of the dead. (00:55:06) It says, "My body shall not perish. My (00:55:08) tomb shall not be destroyed. My resting (00:55:11) place shall not be violated. Because (00:55:13) they believed that once you're in, (00:55:15) you're secure. You're in the in Egyptian (00:55:17) soil. As long as you're preserved, well, (00:55:19) then you've got salvation. What does you (00:55:21) what does Moses go and do at this point? (00:55:24) What does Moses go and do? Here's (00:55:26) another quote here. It speaks in the (00:55:28) Egyptian book of the dead that he who is (00:55:29) deprived from a burial is annihilated. (00:55:32) Oh gosh, poor Joseph. Oh dear. What have (00:55:36) you done Moses to poor Joseph? (00:55:39) And this means to lose one's burial (00:55:43) is is to cease to exist eternally. This (00:55:45) is what they believed. (00:55:48) So it's important to note here that the (00:55:50) Egyptian texts also speak that those who (00:55:53) disturb the tomb that are involved in (00:55:56) this, this was not just theft. It was (00:55:59) treason to the gods that what you were (00:56:02) doing was actually so grievous that you (00:56:05) were actually insulting the god of the (00:56:07) underworld and it was a total attack on (00:56:09) Osiris. So if that was their god, the (00:56:11) god of the underworld and you go and you (00:56:13) do this, you've got a meeting with my (00:56:15) man cuz that the body's his property. So (00:56:18) what does my man Moses go and do there? (00:56:21) He flies in and he's like, "Where's (00:56:23) Joseph, man?" Boom. and he does a hit on (00:56:25) this tomb and he pulls Joseph out of (00:56:27) this place and he says, "Nah." He says, (00:56:30) "Nah." So, not only was it attack on the (00:56:34) Egyptian (00:56:36) Egyptology and their doctrine of (00:56:38) salvation, this was also a final swoop (00:56:42) on Osiris who had claim to the dead in (00:56:45) the underworld. Yah was again destroying (00:56:48) death (00:56:50) with death. He was destroying death with (00:56:53) death. The death of Joseph. (00:56:57) He raises up the Messiah (00:57:00) and totally dissolves (00:57:03) the Egyptian religion there. And then (00:57:05) all the Egyptians put their trust in (00:57:07) Yahweh was now testifying to Egypt that (00:57:09) day that your way to salvation was (00:57:12) totally false. In a sense then Joseph's (00:57:15) removal functions as a final unspoken (00:57:18) plague not against the Egyptian land and (00:57:21) all the people but against its (00:57:23) understanding in the afterlife itself (00:57:27) as this is also a school of thought to (00:57:31) why Pharaoh does what he does. So (00:57:33) Pharaoh says let them go let them go on (00:57:36) get get rid get rid. And then we read in (00:57:38) Exodus 14:5, now it was told to the king (00:57:42) of Egypt that the people had fled (00:57:45) and that the heart of Pharaoh and his (00:57:47) servants was now turned against the (00:57:49) people and they said, "Why have they (00:57:51) done this?" So we see here that it says (00:57:54) the king of Egypt is gets told that the (00:57:57) people had fled, but he's just told the (00:58:00) children of Israel that they can go in (00:58:02) the previous verses. What people do you (00:58:05) think they're going on about here? This (00:58:06) is the people of Egypt. Pharaoh's now (00:58:08) told, "Oh, look, your people are getting (00:58:10) off here as well." And now his head (00:58:12) goes, man, now these Pharaohs that get (00:58:15) buried in the Valley of the Kings and (00:58:16) get preserved. When they find out that (00:58:19) Joseph's tomb is gone, and I'm just (00:58:22) going to submit that for your (00:58:23) consideration. This is what sends his (00:58:26) head west. And now he says, "Let's get (00:58:28) the chariots. We're going after them." (00:58:29) So notice how the people fled. What (00:58:31) people believe this could be the (00:58:33) Egyptians. It's my belief that this is (00:58:35) not related solely to Israel because (00:58:37) they just been released. But now the (00:58:39) Egyptians were also fleeing (00:58:41) >> because what was happening their whole (00:58:44) social structure was crumbling. And now (00:58:46) even their religious belief that if you (00:58:48) take a king or a pharaoh but even a (00:58:50) prince out of the tomb that he's cut off (00:58:53) from the world to come and Moses is (00:58:55) going that's not true. the salvation in (00:58:58) Yah alone and he's taking the bones of (00:59:00) Egypt and of of Joseph from Egypt and (00:59:03) saying this is not sacred soil tell you (00:59:06) where it is we're going there just want (00:59:08) to come (00:59:09) >> so Joseph's coffin leaving Egypt (00:59:11) silently declared that resurrection does (00:59:15) not belong to the Egyptian gods nor to (00:59:18) Egyptian soil it dismantled the (00:59:21) religious system right before their eyes (00:59:24) that one of the princes of Egypt that (00:59:25) saved the entire nation was now leaving (00:59:27) Egypt. And it got me thinking, is this (00:59:30) why else a lot of them went? Cuz all of (00:59:32) a sudden the the pharaohs that they so (00:59:34) revered, well, here's your number one (00:59:36) coming out, mate. Here's the king of (00:59:38) here's the king of all the here's the (00:59:39) king of kings going now, Joseph. And (00:59:41) they're going, (00:59:42) >> oh, wow. Yeah. Didn't he save us? We're (00:59:44) going to follow that. I just see that (00:59:47) and just I think there's layers to it. (00:59:49) You know (00:59:50) >> that what Moses does here, he he (00:59:52) singlehandedly just destroys the (00:59:54) religion of Egypt. that salvation is not (00:59:57) in a tomb with Osiris, it's with Yah. (01:00:00) And by him doing this, he was outwardly (01:00:03) rebelling against Egyptology completely (01:00:06) because they said this, whoever does (01:00:08) this is cursed. And whoever does this (01:00:11) has attacked Osiris and whoever does (01:00:13) this will be cut off from salvation. And (01:00:15) Moses goes in, mate, and just does it. (01:00:17) So listen, that scripture comes to mind. (01:00:21) Oh death, I will be your death. Oh (01:00:24) grave, I will become your grave. (01:00:27) Oh death, where art thou stringer has (01:00:29) been swallowed up in victory. So could (01:00:31) it be to end? Could it be that the (01:00:33) resurrection of Joseph, so to speak, was (01:00:36) the final nail in the coffin that turned (01:00:38) the heart of the Egyptians completely to (01:00:40) Yah as they would now be led out of (01:00:43) Egypt, not just with Moses, but by the (01:00:46) king of Egypt, who they once esteemed (01:00:48) and revered as the greatest. I think (01:00:50) this is a big possibility that the (01:00:52) resurrection of Joseph here and now (01:00:55) actually plays a bigger role than what (01:00:57) we actually believe because for the (01:00:59) Egyptians when they seen that take place (01:01:01) their whole religious system was going (01:01:03) to collapse and there it is Messiah and (01:01:06) Yosesef going out and they were going to (01:01:08) follow the king the Messiah. They were (01:01:10) going to follow him. (01:01:12) >> So with that beloved (01:01:14) we will come to an end and we will pray. (01:01:16) Thanks Joseph. (01:01:17) >> Thanks everyone. (01:01:19) Hallelujah. (01:01:22) >> Abby, we thank you, Father, for your (01:01:24) word. We bless you, Lord God, for the (01:01:26) scripture, Lord, the holy scripture. (01:01:28) Thank you that we see typologies, types, (01:01:30) and shadows of Jesus, Lord, all the way (01:01:33) through the Bible. That we even see the (01:01:35) resurrection of the king, Messiah, and (01:01:37) Ysef here now in the text in the book of (01:01:40) Exodus. And how when this took place, (01:01:43) Lord, it completely dismantled the (01:01:45) religious systems of salvation in (01:01:47) Egyptology and the book of the dead. And (01:01:49) how you destroyed death with death. And (01:01:51) you had one final move, Lord, to show (01:01:54) Egypt the power of the resurrection (01:01:56) taking place before their eyes in a (01:01:59) micro form. Lord, thank you that we get (01:02:01) to see this and view it with the lens of (01:02:03) Yeshua and see how even Moses, though he (01:02:05) had never met Joseph, still assists in (01:02:08) the raising of his bones from the tomb. (01:02:12) And here we see Yeshua, Lord, who at the (01:02:14) mount of transfiguration is accompanied (01:02:16) with Moses in the land. It's a prophetic (01:02:19) picture, Lord. And we rejoice that we (01:02:21) can see and have eyes to see and that we (01:02:24) can unpack the continuity that you have (01:02:25) given us right throughout your word. We (01:02:28) bless you for the golden threads, Lord, (01:02:30) in Yeshua's name. Amen. Amen. (01:02:33) >> Shalom everyone, and thank you for (01:02:35) watching. We hope that you enjoyed this (01:02:36) video and that you've been blessed by (01:02:38) the content that we, as a ministry, put (01:02:40) out online so that you, the viewer, can (01:02:42) participate in the worship with us (01:02:44) together, regardless of any physical (01:02:46) limitations and in the comfort and (01:02:48) convenience of your own home or anywhere (01:02:51) in the four corners of the world that (01:02:53) you may be. We endeavor to bless the (01:02:55) household of Yah and use online (01:02:57) platforms along with other media outlets (01:02:59) to preach the gospel with a goal to (01:03:02) teach all things found in the entire (01:03:05) scroll as we rediscover his Torah and (01:03:08) its applications for our life today. (01:03:10) Hallelujah. But we are fundamentally a (01:03:12) physical ministry first operating out of (01:03:14) houses like the first church in the book (01:03:17) of Acts. So whilst the Lord has blessed (01:03:19) the work of our hands and brought a (01:03:20) fruitful increase in the toil of this (01:03:22) field, without your support, sharing the (01:03:24) physical ministry online just wouldn't (01:03:26) be possible. It's important to note that (01:03:28) none of the leaders or teachers of this (01:03:29) fellowship are in full-time ministry. We (01:03:32) are working men with full-time jobs to (01:03:34) support our own lives and families. And (01:03:36) we revealed this personal truth often so (01:03:39) people understand that the work we do as (01:03:41) a ministry is a free will offering and (01:03:43) that our purse is not sponsored because (01:03:45) of a financial appetite but rather we do (01:03:48) this labor because we love Yeshua and we (01:03:50) are being commissioned by him to do so. (01:03:53) Although your support means that we can (01:03:54) continue to capture, create and operate (01:03:57) to produce videos and content that can (01:03:59) be routinely uploaded for you as the (01:04:01) viewer, this is actually a costly (01:04:03) operation. And of course, there are many (01:04:05) cogs that turn to help edit and release (01:04:07) on time uh so that you can all come and (01:04:09) join us on the Torah cycle or the (01:04:11) appointed times and everything else in (01:04:13) between. If you do find yourself tuning (01:04:15) into our ministry regularly or are led, (01:04:18) we ask that you consider tiding or (01:04:20) blessing us with an offering to help (01:04:22) support of this online content.
