  Spirit. We thank you God for being near
• 0:23
  to us. Lord, we know that you've
• 0:25
  overcome the world. God, we do not fear those that
• 0:28
  can kill the body. But God, we rest in the finished
• 0:32
  work of the cross. We rest in the truth that you
• 0:36
  are moving everything in accordance to your plans.
• 0:41
  Thank you God, for the prophetic timeline.

  We thank you for the holy words that we hold in our hands.
• 1:01
  We thank you for the complete inspired authority of Scripture.
• 1:05
  Thank you that it is your breath on pages alive and active.
• 1:11
  Thank you that it is discerning us and it's reading us as we
• 1:14
  open it up. God, I pray that you'll ingrain
• 1:18
  it in our hearts and our minds. God, let it become one with us
• 1:21
  and one US one with it. Father, the Word became flesh.
• 1:26
  And so, God, we eat the Word of God today.
• 1:29
  We munch on it. Lord, we devour it, we feast
• 1:32
  upon it today. God, help us to understand the
• 1:35
  hard parts, Give us discernment, give us direction.
• 1:40
  God, give us wisdom and understanding.
• 1:42
  Help us to know what it is that you want us to learn for today,
• 1:46
  for such a time as this. Lord, we are yours, we belong to
• 1:51
  you. God, heal our bodies and heal
• 1:53
  our minds, Lord, heal broken marriages.
• 1:57
  Bring the prodigals home, Father, Raise up righteous
• 2:00
  leaders unto yourself. God, Protect the military.
• 2:03
  Protect the leaders, Father. We pray for them today, Lord,
• 2:09
  that they will be your instruments in your hands to do
• 2:13
  your bidding in this world. Thank you, God, for giving us
• 2:18
  this day, for such a day as today.
• 2:21
  This is your day that you have made, and we will rejoice and be
• 2:25
  glad in it. We enter in with clean hands and
• 2:28
  a pure heart. God.
• 2:30
  We've not bowed down to idols or swore by false gods, for you are
• 2:34
  the one true God, the only living God, and we worship you
• 2:38
  today in Jesus Christ. Holy and precious name, I pray,
• 2:42
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 2:48
  And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, saying, verse 2,
• 2:53
  speak unto the children of Israel, say unto them, when any
• 2:56
  man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue,
• 3:00
  he is unclean. So perhaps he's talking about
• 3:04
  gonorrhea. Perhaps he's talking about a
• 3:10
  sexually transmitted disease here that would cause him to be
• 3:15
  unclean, and this was a safeguard against it going and
• 3:21
  spreading in the camp. And this was God's way of
• 3:25
  dealing with those who were promiscuous, with those who had
• 3:31
  contracted some kind of disease that would destroy the camp.
• 3:35
  And God wanted them to separate so that it would not infiltrate
• 3:40
  the rest of the camp. Verse 3 And this shall be his
• 3:45
  uncleanness and his issue, whether his flesh run with his
• 3:49
  issue or his flesh be stopped from his issue, It is His
• 3:53
  uncleanness. So he is not to go and present
• 3:56
  himself to the priest. As we've seen in the cases of
• 3:59
  leprosy, this was something that he was to tend to to himself.
• 4:04
  And God deals with the manner of our sexual organs in such a way
• 4:10
  that is discreet. It is not to be put on blast.
• 4:13
  It's not for us to go and parade around in.
• 4:15
  This is to cover it and this is for us to deal with it in the
• 4:20
  privacy. And God is so modest in all of
• 4:23
  his approach, for every bed whereon he lies that has the
• 4:28
  issue is unclean, and everything whereon he sits shall be
• 4:33
  unclean. 5 And whosoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes,
• 4:38
  bathe himself from water, be unclean until the evening.
• 4:42
  So God was protecting the people from coming into contact with
• 4:47
  even the places where it would have spilled over and onto and
• 4:53
  it could have been contracted there, not just in a sexual way,
• 4:58
  but in just a way where they would rub up against it.
• 5:01
  It could get on them and get in them and cause them to be
• 5:06
  infected. And so God was protecting the
• 5:08
  whole camp from 1/6. And he that sits on anything
• 5:14
  where all he said as the issue shall wash his clothes, bathe
• 5:18
  himself in water, be unclean until the evening 7.
• 5:22
  And he that touches the flesh of him that has the issue shall
• 5:25
  wash his clothes, bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
• 5:29
  the evening. 8 And if he has the issues spit upon him that is
• 5:34
  clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with
• 5:37
  water, be unclean until the evening.
• 5:39
  So God understands, because He is the one who created us, that
• 5:44
  you can contract things through saliva, not just through blood,
• 5:48
  not just through semen, but also through the saliva that is in
• 5:52
  the air. And God here is protecting the
• 5:55
  entire camp from the one who has the infection.
• 5:59
  What an amazing God we serve, that He knows how things are
• 6:02
  spread and He's protecting them, even if they don't have all of
• 6:06
  the scientific data. We'll catch up to God.
• 6:10
  That's how it works, friends. It's not the other way around.
• 6:13
  It's not that God, in his archaic, barbaric, antiquated
• 6:16
  book catches up with our modern society, our progressivism.
• 6:20
  It doesn't work that way. Friends, You need to know that
• 6:23
  we catch up to the words of God. All of the words that are here
• 6:27
  are infallible and inerrant, and they are God's spoken words on
• 6:31
  the page for us, friends. He told us that the world was
• 6:35
  round when everyone thought it was still flat.
• 6:37
  Praise God. Hallelujah. 9 And what saddle?
• 6:42
  So whatsoever that he rides upon that has the issue shall be
• 6:47
  unclean. 10 And whosoever touches anything that was under
• 6:50
  him shall be unclean until the evening.
• 6:53
  And he that bears any of those things shall wash his clothes,
• 6:56
  bathe himself in water, be unclean until the evening. 11
• 7:00
  And whomsoever he touches that has the issue, and has not
• 7:04
  rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe
• 7:07
  himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 12 And the
• 7:12
  vessel of earth that he touches, which has the issue, shall be
• 7:15
  broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And
• 7:20
  when he that has the issue is cleansed of his issue, and he
• 7:24
  shall number himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his
• 7:28
  clothes, bathe his flesh and running water, and shall be
• 7:32
  clean. 14 And on the 8th day he shall take to him 2 turtle
• 7:37
  doves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord unto the
• 7:40
  door of the Tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to
• 7:44
  the priest. 15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a
• 7:49
  sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest
• 7:52
  shall make an atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.
• 7:57
  So here's what you need to understand is that this person,
• 8:01
  this gentleman who was suffering from the issue, after his days
• 8:09
  of cleansing, when the issue stopped, he was to bring these
• 8:14
  two small birds to the priest and the priest would sacrifice
• 8:18
  them. One was for a sin offering, the
• 8:21
  other one was for a burnt offering, friends, and you can
• 8:24
  see here that it was for him to be reestablished into the
• 8:29
  community so that everybody would know that the priest gave
• 8:33
  him the green light. The priest okayed him to be back
• 8:37
  in with the rest of the congregation that there was no
• 8:42
  caution of it spreading around and becoming an infectious
• 8:47
  disease that was out of control and outbreak.
• 8:50
  Friends, that is what God was guarding the population of the
• 8:55
  Israelites from so that they would not completely be done
• 9:00
  away with and destroyed and eradicated.
• 9:04
  God takes care of every little small detail. 16 And if any man,
• 9:14
  seed of his copulation go out from him, and he shall wash all
• 9:18
  his flesh water and be unclean until the evening.
• 9:21
  So we're going to get into a little section here of sexual
• 9:25
  intercourse in the normalcy of things.
• 9:28
  It's not even that there was something that was bad or
• 9:31
  infectious or some kind of sexually transmitted disease.
• 9:34
  This was just the normal operation of the ejaculation of
• 9:40
  the seamen. Friends. 17 In every garment and
• 9:44
  every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed
• 9:48
  with water and be unclean until the evening. 18 The woman also
• 9:53
  with whom the man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall
• 9:57
  both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the
• 10:01
  evening. 19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her
• 10:05
  flesh be blood, she shall be put apart 7 days, and whosoever
• 10:10
  touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
• 10:13
  And again, here you can see that a regular, normal menstrual
• 10:18
  cycle would cause them to be separated for a short time.
• 10:23
  This was God's way, whether it was the ejaculation or whether
• 10:27
  it was from the menstrual cycle. This was God's way of reminding
• 10:31
  the Israelites that they were human and that they desperately
• 10:37
  needed God and that they were. There was nothing good in them.
• 10:43
  There is no good thing in US. No, none, not at all.
• 10:47
  Friends. The only thing good in US is the
• 10:51
  Lord Jesus Christ who comes and makes us whole.
• 10:55
  The only thing good in us is when we become a new creation in
• 11:00
  and of ourselves. In our natural state is sinful,
• 11:05
  fallen, broken man, in desperate need of a Savior, in desperate
• 11:11
  need of being made whole. And this was a reminder to them
• 11:18
  of that fact. 20 And everything that she lies upon in her
• 11:25
  separation shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits
• 11:29
  upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever touches her bed shall
• 11:34
  wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
• 11:38
  until the evening. 22 And whosoever touches anything that
• 11:42
  she sits upon shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in
• 11:45
  water, and shall be unclean until the evening. 23 And if it
• 11:49
  be on her bed or on anything whereon she sits when he touches
• 11:53
  it, he shall be unclean until the evening. 24 And if any man
• 11:58
  lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be
• 12:04
  unclean, 7 days, and all the bed where on she lies shall be
• 12:08
  unclean. So this was talking about a man
• 12:11
  who would have sexual intercourse with the woman while
• 12:14
  she was on her period friends while she was menstruating. 25
• 12:20
  And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of out
• 12:25
  of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of
• 12:30
  her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness
• 12:34
  shall be as the days of her separation.
• 12:37
  She shall be unclean. This is what the woman who
• 12:41
  grabbed the hem of Jesus garment was suffering from.
• 12:46
  She had hired all the doctors and spent all of her money and
• 12:50
  she could not get this under control.
• 12:53
  That is what is referenced here. And aren't we thankful that we
• 12:56
  can reach out and grab the hem of His garment and receive our
• 12:59
  healing today just as she did. Praise God, Hallelujah that we
• 13:04
  do not have to be unclean until the evening.
• 13:07
  We could be cleaned and made whole and washed in the blood of
• 13:11
  Jesus Christ and He completely washes us and completely makes
• 13:17
  us clean. We do not have to worry about a
• 13:20
  perpetual cleansing of all the time, having to go back in once
• 13:25
  a year or go back every time that we have an issue.
• 13:28
  We can be made whole and we can be washed, and we can be
• 13:32
  completely clean in His sight and holy in His sight, because
• 13:36
  He is holy. 27 And whosoever touches those things shall be
• 13:47
  unclean, and washes clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
• 13:50
  unclean until the evening. 28 But if she be cleansed of her
• 13:55
  issue, then she shall number to herself 7 days, and after that
• 13:59
  she shall be clean. 29 And on the 8th day she shall take to
• 14:04
  her two turtles, two young pigeons, and bring them unto the
• 14:08
  priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the congregation.
• 14:11
  So here she is also told to number her own days.
• 14:15
  This was a private matter, friends.
• 14:17
  This was not to be public, and it was not for him to come and
• 14:21
  inspect the private parts. This was on her word that the
• 14:25
  issue was resolved, and that she herself would go to the door of
• 14:30
  the Tabernacle and bring these two little birds to the priest
• 14:35
  as a sacrifice. 30 And the priest shall offer the one for
• 14:40
  the sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the
• 14:43
  priest shall make an atonement for her before the Lord for the
• 14:47
  issue of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall you separate the
• 14:51
  children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they will not,
• 14:55
  that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my
• 14:59
  Tabernacle that is among them. 32 This is the law of him that
• 15:04
  has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him and is
• 15:08
  defiled therewith will end on, 33 And of her that is sick of
• 15:12
  her flowers, and of him that has an issue, of the man and of the
• 15:16
  woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean.
• 15:19
  So God here in his infinite wisdom knows how to keep us from
• 15:25
  being overrun by disease. And you can see that God cares
• 15:30
  about all the little details, even about the spillage, even
• 15:34
  about the menstrual cycle, even about every little detail.
• 15:38
  God knows what He's talking about.
• 15:41
  And all we have to do is get in line with God's Word and realize
• 15:45
  that it is all applicable even unto this day, that we need to
• 15:50
  be careful when we're dealing with the bodily fluids that we
• 15:56
  come into contact with each and every day because there's so
• 15:59
  much disease that is inside of those bodily fluids.
• 16:04
  And we've caught up scientifically, we've caught up
• 16:07
  with all of this. But if we would have taken it
• 16:09
  seriously way before then, there would have been so much life
• 16:14
  that could have been spared. Because the Bible knows what
• 16:18
  it's talking about and it knows how to protect people from all
• 16:21
  of these infectious diseases that get spread through saliva
• 16:25
  and semen, get spread through blood and contact with it all,
• 16:29
  friends. And you can see that God cares.
• 16:32
  He cares about every little single detail.
• 16:35
  He created us perfectly. He created us the way that he
• 16:38
  did on purpose. And we just need to know that
• 16:41
  God is looking out for us and he loves us.
• 16:43
  And I hope that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter,
• 16:46
  God's word. I know I sure have.
• 16:48
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 16:50
  I love you and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 16:52
  God bless you.
