• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.

• 0:35
  Speaker 2: May eighteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

  Speaker 2: lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: caption for today is our High Priest, Our High Priest.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:01

  Speaker 2: We thank you for this day. Help us to live
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: like Jesus is, our great High Priest. In Jesus name,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, so yesterday, yesterday,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I was so excited to talk about God's name in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: our lives. I didn't talk about what Pastor Boonstra had
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: been sharing with us right there in the lesson. A
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: careful reading of the Psalms yields details that make the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Book of revel come alive, especially in Revelation chapter fourteen,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: which describes the final work of God's remnant people on
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: planet Earth. I didn't even mention all of these things.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And I have a long list, a long list in
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: my notes where we can connect the Revelation and the Psalms,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the Revelation and the Psalms. So please just go into
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: our community and ask me for my notes on this.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But I'll just give you a few points. I won't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: read the particular Bible texts because I don't have the time.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But number one, God rules over everyone. We see that
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the Psalms chapter forty seven and Revelation fourteen. Also
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we see God's judgment is fair in Psalms chapter ninety six,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: verse thirteen and Revelation fourteen, verse seven. Also point number three,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we see that in Psalm chapter twenty nine and verse
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: two that God worshiping God actually matters. We see that
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: also in Revelation fourteen, verse seven.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: More, God protects his people Psalm ninety one, Verses four
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and five and Revelation chapter seven and verse three. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: then finally, God's blessings are for the world whoever will
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: receive him Psalm chapter sixty seven, Verses one and two,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and then of course Revelation fourteen and verse six. Again,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: go into our community and ask for my notes on this,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and that'll be a good foundation for the rest of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: our week. And so now we see Jesus Christ as
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the great high priest that is standing so that you
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and I can be clean. I'm talking about fully clean,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: seen as if we had never sinned. Do you see?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: The lesson writer says Pastor boonstra see to it that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you make them. He's actually referencing the Bible. See to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it that you make them according to the pattern as
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: shown to you on the mountain in Exodus, chapter twenty
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: five and verse forty. This is God's guidance, the blueprint
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that he's giving Moses, to have them make me a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: sanctuary that I may dwell among them. Do it according
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to the blueprint that I have given you. Do it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: according to the blueprint that I have given you. Sometimes
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: people are stressed out in life because you have no blueprint.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You're not looking at the blueprint that God has given
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: us for our lives. In fact, there is a song
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I used to love to sing in my own worship
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with God. Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and holy, tried and true, and with thanksgiving, I'll be
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a living sanctuary Lord for you. This is the blessing
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that as he showed Moses the blueprint for the sanctuary
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that he would erect on planet Earth, which is really
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a symbol of salvation, a plan of salvation that God
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: was giving us. Ultimately beyond that, transcending even that teaching
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: tool of how salvation works, pointing to Jesus absolutely, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I want you to get it, Jesus himself is the sanctuary.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The Old Testament says that God is a little sanctuary.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, as he was about to be crucified, if
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you will destroy this temple in three days, I will
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: build it up. And he is the pattern. Jesus is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the pattern. The Bible says that there is no temple
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: there in Revelation chapter twenty one. Jesus Christ is the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: temple thereof. And so He's given us, through the Holy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Ghost the same blueprint. He said, know ye not? What
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: know ye not? That you are the temple of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost? Huh who dwells in you? You have been
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: brought bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in everything
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that you do, everything that you are, because He's purchased you.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: You see. And even though there is a heavenly sanctuary,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: even though there was this part of me blueprint that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: God had given Moses, even though he erected the sanctuary
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on planet Earth, it really all points to Jesus. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: we are to be the place where God dwells. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: think somebody just got it. We are to be the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: place where God dwells. You're going to have to slow
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it down, maybe listen to this half speed and go again,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: because somebody's just getting it. So we read now, We
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: read now from the Bible Book of Hebrews, about our
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: great High Priest, our great high Priest. We see that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: teaching tool, that symbolism in the sanctuary Jesus Christ. The
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Bible reads here in Hebrews chapter nine, beginning at verse eleven.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: But Christ being become and high priest of good things
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: made with hands. So the Bible writer is leading us
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to the ultimate reality of the sanctuary, the ultimate reality. Yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: neither by the blood of goats verse twelve and calves,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: but by his own blood he entered in once into
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: if the blood of bulls and of goats sanctifieth and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: purifieth the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: who through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot to God,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And for this cause He is the mediator of the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Covenant or the Testament, that they which are called might
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Okay, what does this
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: all mean? What does this all mean? What does this
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: teach us about what Christ is doing for us? In short,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: it shows that Jesus Christ is serving as our perfect
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: high priest. That means that he's gone through what humans
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: go through, so that when he is in heaven, he
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is in heaven helping people and be in cleansing human
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: beings and seeing all that you have gone through. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: can remember the time that he was hungry. He can
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: remember when the devil tempted him. He can remember when
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: he had to go and pray a great while before
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: day because he couldn't get through his day except he
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: connect with his father. So when he is doing his
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: high priestly ministry right now in the Heavenly Sanctuary, he's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: doing it with an empathetic with an empathetic tone. He
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: knows what it's like to live on planet Earth, so
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: he can represent you well. Of course, Christ also works
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: in the Heavenly Sanctuary, not a human man, to bring
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: about real salvation and not symbolic rituals. Also, he offered
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: his own blood instead of animal sacrifices. Jesus offered his
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: own life once securing eternal redemption, no repeats needed, so
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: when we are saved by grace. It's not because Jesus
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: died on a Tuesday and then somebody else gets saved
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: next week. It's not because he died again. Somebody gets
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: saved in a year. Not because he died again. He
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: did all that he needed to do in order to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: give his life for us so that we could be saved,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and he mediates the New Covenant. Why because Jesus lived
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on planet Earth a holy life.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
