Sin. That's the title of the message. Sin. Arum. Arum. That's the title of this message. Sin and Rebellion. Against our God. Sin and Rebellion against our God. Now please open your books and look at them and repeat after me, so to speak. We're on three and verse nine. Three and verse nine. Barashith, three and nine. Say barashith. Barashith. Three and nine. Wayikra. Wayikra. Hadavar. Hadavar. Elohim. Elohim. El ha'adam. El ha'adam. Lo Aika. This is quite a deer. I've heard many, many sermons preached on this verse. Haven't you, Brother Ray? I've heard many sermons preached on this verse. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Waika Waikra Third person, mass and senior, Cal, wild, consecutive, imperfect. And he kept on calling Jehovah, and I said that ha-the-var up there because we don't know how to say that word. I don't care what they say, Yahweh, whatever, we don't know how to say that word. There's no way we can pronounce it. Ha-the-var is what they said in the New Testament's whole logos. Jehovah. And it comes from ha-yah, which means what? the one who shall become. Where is it fulfilled in the New Testament? Everything in the Old Testament has a fulfillment in the New Testament, doesn't it? John 1.14, kaihologo sarxageneto, and the word, the Jehovah, flesh he became and dwelt among us and we beheld the glory, the glory of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. It says no man has seen God at any time. The only begotten God, the one being inseparably in the bosom, that's what it says on there, being inseparably in the bosom, that one has led himself out. And there we have the fulfillment of this title. And boy, this is the first time in the Old Testament where Jehovah, the covenant God of Israel, that name really shines right here. Because now it's only by grace Adam will ever walk into the presence of God again. Only by grace. Grace alone. And Jehovah Elohim, the title of God. El ha Adam. El there, that's onto a preposition. Ha, definite article, and Adam. Tell me about Adam. What is this word? What is the root of the word Adam? Adam. Blood. Okay, blood. I like to see this ground out here because this ground is red, isn't it? That's the kind of, that's red ground. Red like blood. And red ground has got iron in it, doesn't it? It's got iron in it. And blood has iron in it. And man is created from the same elements as the dust of the ground. And he's going to become dust one day. He said unto the man, And he said and kept on saying, why Yomer? See that word, why Yomer? He said and kept on saying, and that comes from Amer, Maryland. It comes from this word right here. Amer. Okay, and it's why Yomer? Why Yomer? And he said and kept on saying to him, where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Like an echo in a canyon. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you tonight in your walk with the Lord? Where are you? Man put a wide barrier between himself and God now. Remember the tree of what? The tree of what? No. The tree of what? Knowing of what, number one? Good and evil. Tov vi ra. And evil. Good and evil. First of all, good. They realize how great and gracious God was to them. And how high and holy He is, and it makes them get small, doesn't it? Get small. I remember when I was that much taller. I got small. Smaller in stature. smaller in stature. Well, man shrunk down like a flea in the presence of an elephant now. God is gigantic and holy and good and he is evil and he knows it. He didn't know it before. He didn't know all about good. Now God would progressively, little by little, have taught him everything that was good about God. And he would have understood about it. I mean, he's just getting acquainted with Jehovah. How long did he live like this? How long? We don't know. But, sin came into the universe. Sin came into planet Earth one more time. Sin came into Eden. Eden. Eden. Remember what Eden means? Eden? The garden, God in Eden. Remember that? Eden. That means like a pleasure palace. That means like a throne room. It is a place of dainties. A place of dainties. Did sin exist when Adam sinned, or did it start existing when... Sin had already, in eternity past, sin had already encroached in to the whole cosmos by the person of Hillel, or Lucifer. Oh yes, absolutely. And Adam knew about it. God had told him about Lucifer, and told him what to guide him. He didn't tell him everything about what happened, but he said, that is the enemy right there. Do not allow him in your lives or you will become like him. You will become like him. And man became like Lucifer except that man has a way back to God. Lucifer does not. And he said to him, ayikah, say that, ayikah, ayikah, ayikah, ayikah. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Aika, Aika, Aika. Now there's a wide barrier between man and God. And that barrier is knowledge. The barrier is knowledge. Because now Adam knows. how great God is and how small he is and how evil he has become. And he was not created evil, was he? Lucifer was not created evil, but he was created with the ability to choose one thing or the other, to choose to follow God or choose to rebel from God. Now let's go to 3 and verse 10. And here we have a familiar word, Wyomer. Wyomer. et kolika, shamati, bagan, waya, ki erum, anoki uyacheve." And he said and kept on saying, Adam just kept on screaming and saying this over and over and over again. Over and over and over. This scream that he's screaming is a scream of torment. Before, when he heard the Lord's voice, it just filled his heart with joy. He had communion with the creator of the universe. Everything at his touch was his. that God shared with him, except one thing. The tree in the middle of the garden with a knowledge of good and evil. That was not his to touch. It was not his to even look upon. It was God's. And he said and kept on saying, and then we have the sign of the direct object, that word et there. See that et there, brother? Et. in your Hebrew text, et. That little thing like this. That thing right there, et. And that's an aleph and a tau. That's the first and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It's like alpha and omega in the New Testament. Isn't that neat? The sign of the direct object is the first and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Now in the New Testament, the sign of the direct object basically is an ace, extension and limitation of the thought of verbal action, and it basically works in this grammatically also. And he said, and then he looks, the sign of the direct object, action's going here now. There's fear, and that word et there is the design of fear and trembling and terror. I heard It says, your voice, your voice, Kalika, your voice, the voice of the call of you, Kalika. I heard your call. I have heard your call, Shamita, Kalika Shamita. Your voice, I have heard, I have heard. How many times did he hear the voice of God and not tremble? Yeah. Who's changed here, God or man? Man has changed. You know, the God that saves us today is the same God that saved Adonai and Judson. Apostle Paul. All of those men of God in the past. What caused their lives to change? Paul was a murderer, wasn't he? He was a religious murderer, like a Muslim today. He was. That's what they did. Tiberius Caesar tried to protect the early church from the Jews. Tried to protect them from the Jews. You know, Herod built that place around that city, Tiberius. You know, Herod? He built that city for, in honor of Tiberius Caesar. hoping that he would make him the emperor like his father was, but he never was. He would never be like that. Herod the Great was put in there and owned the throne by, not by God and not by the Sanhedrin and not by lineage, but by Anthony and Cleopatra. It wasn't the designs of God. These people were pagans, pagans. Paganism down in Egypt was great, wasn't it? And they worshipped. She was a female Pharaoh. Pharaoh means what, Sharon? The guy in the big house. That's what Pharaoh means. Pedro or Pharaoh, either way. She was a female Pharaoh. And somewhat of a floozy on top of all of that. Controlled by her emotions. And she was very deceitful, wasn't she? She was quite a gal, quite a girl. She got a couple of them Caesars, didn't she? A couple of them. Your voice, I have heard. In garden. What was a garden, Mal? Remember what the garden was? The God, it says, ba-god, ba-gon, ba-gon. Gon is the word for garden, ba-gon. We got a double there, a gamel, see that, Marilyn? That dog-ish in the middle of that? Ba-gon, ba-gon. We got a strong baith and we got a strong, and we got a double gama. Or gamel, that is. Get my Greek and Hebrew mixed up a little bit. Ba-gon, in the garden. This is supposed to be the pleasure palace. This is supposed to be the throne room. I heard your voice in the throne room. And look at this now. First person, construct, singular, Kalawau, consecutive, imperfect, and Waira. Waira. I began to tremble. I began to shudder. I began to be terrified. Have you ever walked into the presence of somebody that scared you like that? Have you ever had that tremendous fear in somebody's presence, in courtrooms? Yeah, Judge Kelly Steele. Yeah, Kelly Steele, yeah. Gelatich. All those judges walk in there, and what they say is arbitrary, right or wrong, right or wrong. And your destiny is in their hands. Your safety is in their hands. Your future is in their hands. when you walk into a courtroom. It's an arbitrary rule. They make the decision. You're the victim. And I became, and kept on becoming, I kept on shuddering, I kept on trembling, I kept on being terrified. Because, ki erom. I had become a crafty sinner. I had become deceitful. I had become a thief. I had become a liar. And now he's going to begin the process of lying. Has Adam ever lied before? No. He wasn't a sinner before, but now he's a sinner. Sin has entered into the garden once again. Sin has entered into paradise, Eden, once more. But I like what's going to happen in this Eden better than what I saw in the last Eden when Hillel was there, when Lucifer was there. Because I became naked, I became surrounded with a cloak of darkness. I became like a fox in a hen house where I wasn't supposed to be. I was talking to a guy on the radio the other day and he was talking to me and there was a fox trying to get in his hen house and kill his chickens. And he kept going out there with a shotgun and the fox would get away. Here we have a fox in the hen house. We have someone that's out of place now. Before, this was his home. But now, it is not his home. Now is a place of hiding. Have you ever wondered why bars are dark? Saloons? Have you ever wondered why they're dark? Sin always likes to cover itself with darkness. The third chapter Jesus is quoted as saying, he loved darkness rather than light. Did he love darkness rather than light? Did he choose darkness? Yeah, he did. Because I became foxy, I became a thief, I became a liar, I became a murderer. What did they murder? The tree. God's tree. The life that God had given to it. And did they just eat a little bite of it? No, they ate it all. They ate it all. They defoliated the tree. Maybe they ate the roots and the limbs and everything else. I do not know. But it said they kept on eating, kept on eating, kept on eating. I became a sinner and deceitful. I, Anokhi, I, Ychave, and I hid, concealed myself. I kept on healing. healing, concealing myself, first person, construct, singular, niffel, wow, consecutive, imperfect. I kept on trying to hide from you because I knew how great you are, how wonderful and how sinless and how perfect and how holy you are and how unholy I am. That was the revelation, wasn't it? I had become unholy. I became stench. in the dostrils of God. Remember what Jacob said there at Shechem to his boys? The Shechemites came down from Shechem and Shechem wanted the daughter, Dinah, the daughter. You know that Jacob had two children named Dan, two of them, Dinah and Dan. He liked that name really well. And Dinah was a beautiful young girl And Shechem was ruler of this area and a very powerful man in that area there. And they had allowed Jacob to come and pasture his flocks and they were many in their land. And they came out there and they saw the girl and he said, I love her. And evidently there must have been something back because it says we love each other. We love each other. And he captured her. He captured her. And he took her into his house. Now, in the customs of the day, a young lady like her, and she probably wasn't very old, you didn't touch them at all. If you did, then you married them. That's what you did. That was the story. Now, he took her into his house. Now, it doesn't say that he molested her in any way. Did you know that? She was still a virgin. But he laid hands on that girl and took her in there. And he was in love with her. And this girl evidently didn't do too much running away. She was over there running around, you know, out where she wasn't supposed to be anyway. And she was taken up by this man. And so the man very valiantly and very courteously went to Jacob. Now, she had two brothers, didn't she? Who were her two brothers, her full brothers? Simeon and Levi. Remember these names. And they went, his father and him, they went there and they said, now, we have your daughter. And we know that we have sinned against, according to the law of Comorabi. We have taken her into our home without permission, but we beg your forgiveness because my son and the father is speaking to Jacob. He said, my son's heart, their hearts are knit together. Now we will pray the price for this virgin Bethula. She's a Bethula. Now there's a word Alma for a young lady that is of a sexually mature. Okay. That's an Alma. Now, an Alma, it can be a young wife, a mother, or anything. Alma is not the term used here, it's Bethula. Bethula, it comes from the word Beth. Beth. Bethlehem means what? house of food, house of bread or house of food. Beth means how that this young lady has been kept in her father's house and she has been watched to make sure that she is a virgin and she has what we call chaperones wherever she goes. Make sure that she's a virgin and he says she is a virgin. She is a virgin still. She's a virgin. Okay. And so, they talk, and her two brothers now, because they're blood, 100% blood brothers here, they say, we will not have our sister treated like a harlot. And we will not have our sister married to uncircumcised heathens. And then what do they say? Hold on here, don't call us heathens. What do they say? We're sorry. We're sorry. What would you have us do?" And they said, okay. And what did they do before they circumcised the men? They had to make a profession of faith and they baptized them. Abraham baptized all of his property, slaves, before he circumcised them. They were baptized and they were sealed as children of Abraham. Here, children of Abraham are as Jacob would become known as children of Israel. So they did. They were circumcised. And three days after they were circumcised, those Shem and Levi went into the town and they raped, pillaged, and murdered. Oh, that just killed Jacob, that his sons These converts, new converts, that they would go in there and murder these people that have named the name of God and taken on and clothed themselves with what would become Judaism later. And Jacob told those boys, you are men of Hamas. You are men of Hamas. Say Hamas. Hamas. It means violence. Remember we got that group over there called Hamas? It means violence. You are men of Hamas. Violence. You're going to have all these people come against us all over here and we are going to stink in the nostrils of these people in this land. They went and stole all of their sheep, their goats, their wives, their children. They killed all of the boys. Sounds like Islam, doesn't it? the battle where Mohammed went into this one city of Jews and he surrounded the people, surrounded them and finally conquered them. They finally surrendered and expected him to let them walk off and leave all of their property. He went out there in this area where they had been for many years and they had planted date trees. And he went out there and he couldn't get into the city because it was a great walled city. So he went out there, these people were date farmers. And he went out there and began to cut down their date trees. Cut down their living. And the people weeped and weeped and weeped because it takes many, many years for these things to produce. They were, and by the way, you know what camels ate? You know what camels ate? The greatest, huh? Date seeds. Camels ate date seeds. And they could go and they could trace camels, find out how far away from this city they were by in their dung, the date seeds. This was a food, this was a precious food, dates were. And finally they surrendered and expected him to allow them to go. Instead of that, he had a great trench dug. Arum, evil, sin, wickedness. He had a great trench dug and he had every boy and man taken out there and one very old man They left him back in the background because they weren't going to kill him. You know, he couldn't do any violence to them, this old rabbi. They left him out there because he was very old. I think he was in his 80s or something. And he watched his sons and cousins and nieces and nephews' families destroyed. They would take them out there. They would strip their good clothes off of them. They'd take out there and hold them by the head on one side of the trench, and they'd hack their head off, and the blood, and they'd just throw their heads and their bodies in, but they saved their clothes. One man, as he came there, he tore his clothes up in every little place. He didn't want to go in that and ditch naked. And there were over 800 people killed like that in this horrible, horrible thing. Over 800 people and the boys, if they had pubic hair, they died. That was it. They'd strip them off and find out if they had any hair at all if they come to puberty and they would chop their heads off. This one woman saw him kill her husband and Mohammed sat up there looking over it all. Looking over it all. Watch him wield the swords of destruction. And then as he saw the women cry, he saw one beautiful woman. Her husband was killed and she was weeping and weeping and weeping. He said, I want her. She will be my wife. Evil. Evil. We're going to find out that religion, all false religion is evil. It's sinful. True religion does not murder. True religion saves. True religion saves. Anyway, he married her. And of course, these women had to submit to him. And they had to cook his meals. So she cooked a meal and she put poison in it. And his companion came and ate with him. They would come and eat, and then he would go with his wives. By the way, I want you to know this. We know what the veils are. What do you call these things, Sharon? These full veils? Yeah. No. Burka. Is it burka? You know what? All the women in Islam did not wear these veils. Only Muhammad's wives, because he wanted no man to look upon his wife. Later on, because he had the prettiest women, and he had a lot of them. So his wives wore veils. Later on, if the veils were given, you know, as the Sunnis and the Hadiths went on, then they started making all the Muslim women wear veils and so on and so forth. But the woman, She had lamb, she had lamb, she cooked lamb, and Muhammad's companion ate it and died right there, and Muhammad spit his out. And then he said, why should I allow you to live? Like, it's great, I'm the apostle of God. You should just be willingly to throw yourself in my path. I'm the great man, I'm God's man. And she said this, pretty wise old girl, thinking fast. Well, she said, if you were a prophet of God, you would know the food was poisoned. Oh, yes, I did. Of course, I did. Well, on and on and on, the wickedness. This is where it all began right here. This is where it began. This is where all sin began. This is where Charles Taze Russell was conceived. This is where Joseph Smith was conceived. All of these. Mary Baker Eddy. This is where all of this was conceived. Buddha. This is where it all came from. And he said, and kept on saying, your voice I heard in the garden and I became naked, wicked. And I hid and concealed myself. I hid and concealed myself. I kept on hiding and concealing myself. People in the world know that they are sinners. And so many people choose a religion that is less toxic to their character. I want to ask you something. Probably the most humanistic religion in the world is Islam. The most humanistic religion in the world. The most ungodly religion in the world is Islam. Next to that probably maybe Mormonism, but it's not quite as violent, even though they would be if they could. Islam. Every male Muslim can have four wives. Now that's a limit, isn't it? That's four legal Muslim wives that have the ability to carry your children, that will carry your name, and they will be heirs to whatever you have. But that's not all. You can have all of the women that your right hand possesses. And how that means that all of the women that you can afford as concubines, they're yours. They're yours. Now for a man, that's a real good religion, isn't it? Isn't it? Humanly. If you have a woman that you don't like, all you have to do is accuse her of something and she's gone, brother. They're done for. They're done with. We're just talking about human nature. We're talking about the Adamic nature. What religion could you have that would more afford the Adamic nature than that? Why, you can steal and cheat and do anything you want to a kuffar, but you can't do it. You're only limited to not lying to another Muslim. Boy, look at that. Now, if you're a Mormon, you know Mormonism. But I want you to see today, America is Sharia compliant. You know what that means? Sharia is the law of Islam. Islam does not respect any other nation's laws whatsoever. There is no law but Allah's law, which is Sharia law. They will not bend their neck to it at all. No way. So America today, you can go down, and especially out not too far from my neighborhood, Maryland, as you know, and you will see a Muslim man and three or four wives. You can go to the stores and you'll see these women loading up the shopping carts with 10, 15 gallons of milk. Because he's probably got him four wives and all the concubines that he can afford. And these are the kids. And they're outpopulating any other race of people or religion of people in the world. That is the largest religion in the world. Christianity is not. Christianity is not the largest. It's the minute religion. Christendom takes in Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian science and everything else. But Christianity, true religion, is a very slim thing. The way is straight and narrow, isn't it? And few and far between. We see this. Humanism in religion. Humanism in religion. Islam says, Your good deeds have to outweigh your bad deeds. You have to go on that hajj over there to Mecca and walk around that thing seven times and go in there and put your hands on that cob of stone, and it will absorb all of your sins. That's an act of works, isn't it? Men like to say they've worked their way through this. I did it. Self-made men. You've heard of that term, haven't you? Man-made religion is what we got here. a man-made religion. Let's go on a little further. It's 3 in verse 11. Wyomar. Mi Higed Lika Ki Erom Ata Hamim Haetz Asher Tiziv Vichika That's a hard one. Livelti Hakol miminu, achalita. Achalita. And he said and kept on saying, who? Who? Me, me, me, means who? Say ma, ma, mana, mana, that means what is it? Ma is what? mana is what is it and right here it says me it means who did it who calls you to have known who calls you to have known to you that arum now this word here is basically in the plural You're full of sins now. You're full of sins. You disobeyed and you became a liar, a thief, a murderer. You become deceitful, you become wicked, you became sly, you became shifty. Who said it? Naked you are. Atah, naked you are. And then he says, ha-mim, it means from, ha-as, from the tree, from which, Tizivitika. Tizivitika. I have commanded you to not to eat from him. Have you eaten? Have you eaten? Now, this is a language of condescension. You know what language of condescension is? Tell me the three attributes of God. Do you remember what they are, Carol? Three attributes of God? Three attributes of God? What's three attributes of God? Marilyn, what's the three attributes of God? The three attributes of God. What makes God, God? Omniscience. Omniscience. Omnipotence. Omnipotence and what? Omnipresence. Okay. These things. Does God not know? No. He knows. He wants man to know. Big shot. Smart boy. Who told you this? He knew where he was too. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? He heard the voice of God and he would not answer. It took a long time for him to finally squeak. I'm over here hiding. Why are you hiding? Because I have become a sinner. I have become Arumim. And then you know what the first thing that the man says? And what's the first thing he did? He lied. And he blame shifted. Not my fault. You did it. Not my fault. You did it. wa yom ha-adam ha-ishah asher na-tata imadi hu na-tinak na-tinah, that is, li men ha-ets wa-akil. And he said and kept on saying, Adam, the man, the woman, ha-ishah, the woman whom you have given. It's your fault, Jehovah. You shouldn't have given me this woman. Now, this is what he said. This isn't maybe, this isn't fun, this isn't kidding. This is what Adam said. It's your fault, God. I would have never done this alone. If you'd have just left me in here at peace, without bringing this ish shawl into my life, I would still be out here smiling from ear to ear and happy. But it's your fault. It's your fault. You gave her to me. Now, where'd she come from? From his sides. Oh, the woman whom you have given with me, Imadi, By the way, in the Arabic, the Imadi is the Mahdi. You know, that's their savior that's gonna come, so-called. Their messiah that's gonna come. To be with me, and then she, hu, she, natina, natina, she has given to me from the tree, and I kept on eating. Did he touch it, Vincent? Did he touch it? Yes. Did he take one bite of it? No, he took multiple bites. He took lots of bites and he kept on touching it and kept on touching it and kept on touching it and it's not his to touch and not his to eat. It is not his, it's God's. Now he has become a thief and a murderer and a liar and all of these things all in one. And his blood is infected forever in the human race. Until the end of time, at the end of the millennium. All the way over here, it's going to affect people. All the way from here, all the way to here, it's going to affect people. That blood, that infection. From there on. Have you ever had food in front of you that was so good that you just couldn't stop eating it? But I'm going to tell you something about this food. It tasted good. But with every bite came more knowledge. And they kept on eating it, and they kept on eating it, even though they knew that they had become sinners, they were ravenous sinners, now they were gluttons. This is a glutton right here. These are gluttons. This is the first case of gluttony in the history of mankind. Even though they knew instantly how great God was, they knew good, they kept on stealing because now it had infected them. Where did this all come from? Where did it all come from? What caused all of this? What caused all of it? What caused the break of fellowship? man's volition. That sacred, sacred, I said, sacred sovereign gift that God gave him. And I kept on eating. 313. Wayomer. Ha-the-bar Elohim. La-isha. Ma-zoth. Azith. Watomer, Ha'isha Hanakash Ha'isha Vayakev. And he said and kept on saying Jehovah Elayim, Li'isha, unto the woman. What is this? Mazoth. Mazoth. What is this? A seat. You have done, second person feminine singular cow perfect. What is that you have done? And she said, Watomer, Ha'isha Hanashash. Ha'isha Shini Wa'akal. And the woman said, the serpent, Hanahash. He tricked me. He beguiled me. He bewitched me. He tricked me. He beguiled me. And he bewitched me. On page 674 in this book right here, that's there. It means to bewitch. It means to seduce. It means to beguile. Have you ever had anybody lie to you? A lie about you? Boy. 45. Watch out everybody. Get back off there. They have become evil. What is this you have done? And she said, the serpent, he has tricked me, he has beguiled me, he has deceived me, he has bewitched me, he has seduced me. Seduced her mind. What did he do? Doesn't it look pretty? Wouldn't it taste good? Now, when I cook food, Marilyn, you watch me cook food. You know, I will cook a dish sometimes and she'll take a picture of it. It's so beautiful. Is that what you say? One time she said, I'm just a I'm just really craving macaroni and cheese. I said, Let me make you some real macaroni and cheese. So I got some macaroni. I got some cheese. And then I got some fresh carrots right out of our field at that time, actually. And I took them and I sliced them half in two, these carrots, and they were small carrots like that. And I took some asparagus and I steamed the asparagus separately and I steamed the carrots separately. And I put olives on top of it and parsley and everything around here, all of this. And I made this dish and I decorated it up like a cake. And I said, she said, wow, that's pretty. I want to take a picture of that. You know the old story, you can have your cake, but you can't have your cake and eat it, too? Well, now, with the pictures, you can have your cake and eat it, too. She's still got a picture of that. And then I made spaghetti sauce for her, and it was so thick that you could stand a spoon up in it and it wouldn't ever go. It wouldn't ever fall over, because it's thick. Herky Banducci looked at me. And he says, how did you make it that thick? Did you put thickener in it? I said, no, I cooked it until it was that thick. Down slowly, slowly, slowly, the whole day, 24 hours it cooked down to solidify that and make it into real tomato paste. Naturally. I didn't put any tomato paste in there. It was real tomatoes. And she took a picture of that too. Food in restaurants. We've gone to some fancy restaurants in our time. We went to a fancy restaurant when we got married in Lake Tahoe, and they had this real fancy tray that was a piece of art, wasn't it? It was a great piece of art. Well, this woman looked at this tree, and it was God's piece of art. But it wasn't hers. I didn't take that macaroni and cheese and say, here it is, look at it, but don't touch it and don't eat it. I said, it's yours. I said, it's yours. But everything in that garden was man's and woman's. Only that one tree was God's. That only one tree. That's all that he withheld. And that was a test. That was a test. But you went and made those enchiladas and I kept eating. Well, yeah, I made enchiladas one time. Estella taught me to make enchiladas. I made these enchiladas, made the enchilada gravy and everything like this. She's sitting back there. We didn't make it like that. I don't think I'm going to like this. This is going by me every now and then. I make about 48 of them. made all these enchiladas, and I made this enchilada sauce, I fried those corn tortillas, and then I took them and rolled them in this gravy, and I put them all together like that, and she's looking back there and just turning her nose up at all times. And then when I finally got it done, and I had it decorated with olives and onions and everything on top like I do, make it look pretty, she said, give me a half of one. And then she said, can I have another one? Can I have the other half? And then she ate that. Can I have another one, another one, another one, another one? I thought she was going to burst. It's like Jim's story. And you, when you had those big trays, she had a tray of enchilada. I think she ate about half of the tray. We ate the whole tree. I know. And the roots. Yeah. Well, I think that's what they did here. I think they ate it all up. Cinnamon tree. You know cinnamon? You know that it's the little limbs off of them and everything is what it is. They ate the whole thing. And he gave, he has given to me from the tree and I kept on eating. And she said, or he said, Jehovah Elohim, to the woman, what is this that you have done? And she said and kept on saying, the woman, the serpents, He tricked me, beguiled me, deceived me, and I kept on eating. It was delicious. 314. 314. O-I-O-M-R. Ha-Va-Var Elo-Him El-La-Ha-Na-Sha-Sh. Ki As-Si-Ta-Zoth Ar-Roo-R. Ata Miko Habihima. Yumikol Chayath Hasadah. El Gichonika Tilik Wiafar. Tokal Kar Yamey Chayyecha. And he said and kept on saying, Jehovah Elohim, unto the serpent, here is the story, right here, unto the Hanahash, because you have done this thing. Now, is the serpent an animal? He's a reptile, but he's an animal. He is a part of the kingdom of God. that God created, He's the living things. Okay? Now, this is living thing here, does it have a soul from what we found out so far? Does it have a nephesh? Yes. Does it have a spirit? Yes. Does it have a basar flesh? Yes. Okay. It's triune, in other words. I'm not saying, again, that these things get saved and lost. I do not know that. I don't have a lot of evidence on that, except that I know that they're triune and I know that they all have souls. Now, they all have volition, too, don't they? Do they have volition? Do they? Let's see. Yes, sir. The serpent has been deceived. The serpent has been deceived like the angels and the spirits were. And the angels became fallen angels and the spirits became demons. And now we have the first convert to Satan. That slithering, slithering serpent. Sometimes you forget about the serpent, that that serpent made that choice also. Yes, the serpent made the choice. The serpent was deceived. The serpent knowledgably let Satan use him. As... Now, I'm going to tell you something about... Do you know Judas Iscariot? Judas Iscariot was a willing vessel. This serpent was a willing vessel. A willing vessel. Willing. Volition. God prophesied in his word that Judas Issacariot would come and that he would strike the Messiah. In his own house. One of his own house. One of his own church. His friend. His friend. His bosom friend would strike against him. And he said, Jehovah Elohim, unto the Hanahashi, because you have done Second person, masculine, senior, cow perfect, this thing. Who did it? The serpent. That he allowed Satan to use his body as a vessel. This is what we call a willing vessel. Cursed. Cursing. Past powerful. Being cursed. You. From all of the cattle. From all the Habima. all the four-legged domesticated animals, and all of them were domesticated at this time. There weren't any undomesticated animals. From all of the domesticated four-leggeds, and from all the chaya, the living things, you know what is the most cursed animal being wildlife in the world today? The most cursed one? Yeah. The snake? The snake. The serpent. It's the most cursed of all of the animals on the earth. Of the prairie, Hasidae, the field, the pasture, the meadow, upon your belly, upon your belly you shall keep on walking. Have you ever watched a serpent crawl from over a glass or something where you could see his belly walking? Walking with his belly. That's what's gonna happen now before he didn't do that evidently Because now you shall walk on your belly and you shall Walk in find us we afar find us and You shall keep on eating all the days of your lives in this fine dust Satan and the serpent will be in a continued state of subjecting and prostration from now on through all eternity and the snake walking on his belly, clawing along the ground. Each day that a serpent crawls, even in the millennium, that serpent will remember what happened in the garden. This is going to last from all the way from here, all the way through the millennium. They're still going to crawl on their belly. All the days of your lives, and this is a dual prophecy, isn't it? Satan shall be subjected. He will kneel to God one of these days. He will kneel to God and he will kneel to God forever. Yes, sure. All the days of your lives. That's right. Your lives. All of his Children. He has. He has cursed every serpent and there's boa constrictors. There's gophers, gopher snakes. There are king snakes. There are all kinds of they rattle snakes, Mojave greens, pythons, right side winders. Black mambis, mambas, whatever you want to call them, all of these are cursed. All of these are cursed. And people just naturally, naturally fear snakes. Because of that. Naturally fear. Now there are some people that don't. But there's something wrong with their mind. Remember when I had all those snakes? Yeah, I know, but the staff became a dragon, not a snake. The snake is cursed. A dragon has legs. That's the snakes, the serpents, the serpent. The serpents, they're serpents. Tony is not a serpent. Okay. Those rods and Pharaoh's palace did not become serpents. They become dragons. It's a different word. This serpents from now on, all the way through the millennium will be cursed and remember the garden because of what they did, what they did. And you know what? Even us today. Now we went from three 3.9 was it today? 3.9? 3.9 to 3.14. Do you have any questions? Observations? Anything? Alright. What are you going to do? This one thing here, from now on, from verse 3.15, now we're going to get a great promise. of God. Through all this misery, we find that God is going to put on flesh. And Satan's going to put on flesh. That's what we're going to study next week. But if you're out... Yes, Marilyn. I just wanted to say, you know, Christianity is like this. Narrow. Now, it was the same when they run them up in the Piedmont. The Christians had to hide. The Christians always had to hide from the evil religions, from the serpents. The religion of the serpent. All religions that murder and kill are the religion of the serpent. They chased them all the way up in those mountains. They went all the way from Armenia or Turkey. They chased them all the way back up there, and they hid in the valleys of the Piedmont. And by the way, your DNA goes back there, doesn't it? Yeah. To the valleys of the Piedmont. So somebody must have been a Christian in your family sometime. All the way back. Yes. Well, I'm glad to hear that somebody was a Christian. In your life, yeah. All right. They're all sinners, though, aren't they? All of them are sinners. Even those Christians are sinners. We're all sinners. We're safe sinners and lost sinners. The worst sinners are those in false religion. I want you to understand that. Because they're thwarting their righteousness and morality or ideas against the purpose and the plan of God. It is. Now if you've got a out there in the web land, some place in the world is going to hear this message tonight. If you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, we're all cursed. We're all lost sinners. There's lost sinners and saved sinners. But if you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, that He came and died for your sins, believe that He was buried and raised the third day, after three days, and you believe that God became flesh, to die for you. You asked him to save your soul and forgive your sins and you're forever his and put him on the throne of your life. You can do that or you can go the way of all lost humanity. God will not make you come to his camp. You're not for ordained and pre predestined and locked in. God gives you freedom. And maybe this moment you're going to make that choice of whether you go file 13 in hell or go to be with God. And if you're out there and saved, you need to try to find a church and to line up with it, a true church, and to serve the Lord the best way you can. We don't serve the Lord to get saved. We serve the Lord because we are saved. New Hope Missionary Baptist Church gives you that invitation today. Mother Vincent, what's the number? 273. A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me. He hideth my soul in the clefts of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see. He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, And shadows a dry, thirsty land. He hideth my life in the depths of His love, And covers me there with His hand. And covers me there with His hand. God bless you. Go out and do something eternal.
