  Numbers Chapter 5. Let us pray.
• 0:04
  Our Father, our Father, the whole world's father.
• 0:12
  Regardless if we acknowledge you or not, You are our Father.
• 0:17
  Every nation, every people group, every tribe.
• 0:22
  Lord, you are the great I am, the Creator of everything seen
• 0:30
  and unseen, the only one true, living God, our Father, who is
• 0:36
  in heaven. Lord, you are omnipresent.
• 0:41
  You are there. You are here, God, you are
• 0:43
  everywhere. Lord, I pray that your Kingdom
• 0:48
  will come here onto this earth, just as it is there where you
• 0:55
  are, your holy habitation, the throne room, God, bring about
• 1:02
  here on this earth, the Kingdom of heaven.
• 1:10
  We pray, God that we will not try to build our own Kingdom
• 1:13
  here, Lord, but we'll submit to your Kingdom coming on this
• 1:19
  earth. Lord, I pray for your will to be
• 1:22
  done, not our own selfish will God, but the prophetic timeline
• 1:27
  that you have outlined in Scripture.
• 1:29
  God, clearly, I pray that it comes.
• 1:32
  Lord, let your will be done across every land and every
• 1:37
  people group, across every continent and every government,
• 1:42
  every official and every leader. Let your will be done, whatever
• 1:46
  that is. God, let us step out of our own
• 1:49
  understanding. Let us step out of our own
• 1:51
  intellect and reasoning and our moral compass.
• 1:54
  God, and let us submit completely and fully to the will
• 2:00
  that you have outlined here. Give us a biblical narrative.
• 2:03
  Give us a biblical worldview. Father, give us biblical
• 2:07
  conviction today. God, your will be done, no
• 2:13
  matter what it looks like. God, your will be done.
• 2:19
  Give us this day Our Daily Bread.
• 2:22
  Father, thank you for the Rhema and the Logos.
• 2:26
  Thank you for the manna in the quail.
• 2:28
  Thank you for the word that became flesh.
• 2:34
  Thank you for bread and sustenance.
• 2:39
  God, forgive us for our many sins.
• 2:42
  Lord, we repent, we confess. God, of all the times that we've
• 2:47
  got it wrong. Lord, of all the times, Lord,
• 2:51
  that we have missed the mark, we confess it.
• 2:55
  Lord, we repent. We turn, turn away from every
• 3:04
  lesser lover towards you. God forgive us.
• 3:11
  Thank you for the forgiveness that was wrought for us on the
• 3:16
  cross of Calvary. Thank you for covering us with
• 3:19
  the blood of Jesus and forgiving us and giving us purity and
• 3:23
  righteousness and innocence in your eyes.
• 3:26
  God, help us to be a forgiving people.
• 3:29
  Lord, help us to forgive 70 * 7 our brothers and sisters in
• 3:35
  Christ, Unlimited, infinite God Forgiveness, Lord.
• 3:43
  I pray you'll keep us from the evil. 1 Lord.
• 3:46
  Form a hedge of protection around our houses, around our
• 3:50
  cars, around our children, Lord. Form a hedge of protection
• 3:56
  around school houses, Lord. Form a hedge of protection
• 4:00
  around courthouses, God. Form a hedge of protection
• 4:04
  around military, God and around law enforcement, Lord.
• 4:08
  Form a hedge of protection around those that are running
• 4:12
  into burning buildings, God. Form a hedge of protection
• 4:15
  around those that are the first responders.
• 4:18
  God, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus God, you'll rebuke the
• 4:23
  devourer. God, let no unclean thing come
• 4:26
  into the camp. Lord, help us to shut our
• 4:33
  windows. Lord, quit letting things in.
• 4:37
  Lord, I pray that we'll consecrate this temple.
• 4:45
  Drive out any unclean thing in the mighty name of Jesus.
• 4:49
  Throw him off the Cliff, into the pigs, into the swine.
• 4:53
  Father, drown them in the depths of despair.
• 4:56
  God, every demonic entity must go in the name of Jesus.
• 5:02
  Flee for dying is the Kingdom and the glory and the power.
• 5:10
  All honor belongs to King Jesus. Yeshua the Hamas here the
• 5:21
  branch. Thank you, Lord.
• 5:29
  Thank you, Jesus. Holy Spirit, Phyllis, teach us,
• 5:32
  correct us, give us discernment today.
• 5:35
  Holy Spirit, thank you for helping us and comforting us.
• 5:39
  What's in Jesus's name that we pray?
• 5:42
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 5:45
  And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying, verse 2, command the
• 5:53
  children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and
• 5:56
  everyone that has an issue, whosoever is defiled by the
• 6:01
  dead. So here we're going to get into
• 6:03
  a interesting little passage here where you're going to get
• 6:07
  to see that every unclean thing must go and be separate from the
• 6:12
  holy habitation of where God is. And this speaks to the sin
• 6:16
  nature in all of us. We didn't ask for it, we didn't
• 6:20
  choose it, we didn't bring it upon ourselves.
• 6:22
  We were born into sin. And you can see here that God is
• 6:28
  making a distinction between holy things and between things
• 6:33
  that are defiled. Three, both male and female
• 6:38
  shall you put out outside the camp.
• 6:40
  You shall put them that they not defile their camps in the midst
• 6:45
  whereof I dwell. And of course, you can see here
• 6:48
  that there was a practical application where there need not
• 6:52
  be any more spread of this disease.
• 6:59
  And that is how sin works. A little bit of leaven in the
• 7:03
  lump makes the entire lump bad. And you can see here that God
• 7:11
  knows how things work, diseases, communicable diseases, virology,
• 7:16
  and how these things are spread. And you can see that God knows
• 7:21
  in the practical application that they must completely
• 7:25
  separate and isolate and quarantine.
• 7:28
  And that is what is referenced here.
• 7:31
  And we learned a whole lot about that on a worldwide pandemic
• 7:34
  scale recently, didn't we, friends?
• 7:38
  And you need to know there's coming a day and an hour where
• 7:43
  that will be magnified to the thousandth degree.
• 7:47
  That was just a snapshot of a worldwide, one world system that
• 7:55
  is controlled, friends, where you can neither buy nor sell
• 7:59
  anything without receiving the mark of the beast.
• 8:03
  And here you can see that God wants them to quarantine.
• 8:06
  God wants them to isolate those that are infected, so that it
• 8:11
  does not spread within the entire camp.
• 8:16
  Five. And the Lord spoke unto Moses,
• 8:19
  saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman
• 8:23
  shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against
• 8:28
  the Lord, and that person be guilty, 7 then they shall
• 8:34
  confess their sin which they have done, And he shall repay
• 8:37
  his trespass with the principle thereof, and add unto it a fifth
• 8:43
  part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he has
• 8:46
  trespassed. So here's whenever the
• 8:48
  conscience is pricked, and you realize that you have done
• 8:53
  something offensive unto a holy God, and you're paying the the
• 8:58
  debt of it in your own mind and heart.
• 9:02
  This reap what you sow, and here you would go and make it good,
• 9:06
  make it right, and you'd pay it back, and add 20% to the person
• 9:11
  whom you have harmed. 8 But if the man have no kinsmen to repay
• 9:18
  the trespass unto, let the trespass be repealing to the
• 9:22
  Lord, even to the priest beside the ram of the atonement,
• 9:26
  whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
• 9:31
  So here you can see that they had three options.
• 9:35
  They could go and they could pay it to the person that they harm.
• 9:39
  They could pay it to the kinsman Redeemer.
• 9:42
  The go El. You can see that if there was
• 9:45
  somebody close, if they were not around, if they were not alive,
• 9:48
  they could go and pay it to the kinsman Redeemer.
• 9:51
  But if there was no one in the family to be able to pay it to,
• 9:55
  and the person wasn't available, then you could take it to the
• 9:59
  priest and the priest would accept it.
• 10:01
  And then this is how they made their living, and they were
• 10:03
  worthy of such substitutions. They were worthy of such of an
• 10:10
  income. Friends, anybody who works for
• 10:12
  the Lord is worth their income. They're worth the money that's
• 10:17
  coming in. We do not need to try to break
• 10:20
  them down for receiving it. 9 Every offering of the holy
• 10:27
  things of the children of Israel which they bring unto the priest
• 10:30
  shall be his, 10 and every man's hallowed things shall be his.
• 10:35
  Whatsoever any man give to the priest, it shall be his.
• 10:39
  So some of the trespass offering was given, and the priest would
• 10:44
  receive it, and it was part of his payment, it was part of his
• 10:49
  income. 11 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, 12 Speak
• 10:55
  unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife
• 10:58
  go aside and commits A trespass against him, 13 And a man lie
• 11:03
  with her carnally, and they be hid from the eyes of her
• 11:06
  husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no
• 11:12
  witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner.
• 11:17
  So we're going to get into this very unorthodox approach of how
• 11:20
  God told Moses to try to figure out if a woman had been
• 11:25
  unfaithful, if it was not revealed, if it was just thought
• 11:30
  of and implied, if he had this spirit of jealousy that would
• 11:33
  come upon him. And this was not only to try and
• 11:38
  figure out if the woman had actually done the ACT, but this
• 11:41
  was to protect her from a jealous husband who was
• 11:45
  wrathful. This would have been for her
• 11:49
  good, to keep her husband from being someone who would have a
• 11:55
  domestic violence account. 14 And the spirit of jealousy come
• 12:04
  upon him, and he'd be jealous of his wife, and she'd be defiled.
• 12:08
  Or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he'd be
• 12:12
  jealous of his wife, and she'd be not defiled.
• 12:15
  So this would have been a way for them to try to figure out if
• 12:19
  she had actually done the act, and this was a way to protect
• 12:23
  her. 15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he
• 12:28
  shall bring her offering for her the 10th part of an IPA of
• 12:33
  barley meal, and he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
• 12:37
  frankincense on it. For it is an offering of
• 12:40
  jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to
• 12:45
  remembrance. This was stirring the pot, this
• 12:47
  was bringing things to the surface that should have been
• 12:51
  private. But for whatever reason this man
• 12:55
  was, he was bound to have to take it and be public with it.
• 12:59
  He could not just deal with it within the four walls of his own
• 13:02
  house. He would have been in the wrong
• 13:04
  to try to deal with it on his own.
• 13:07
  This was a public order and this would have been to discourage
• 13:11
  people from doing this unnecessarily.
• 13:14
  So they would have had to bring in this offering, and this
• 13:18
  offering was to signify something of a somber occasion.
• 13:22
  This was not to have any kind of fragrant fragrance of any kind
• 13:26
  of pleasantries on it. This was a offering that was
• 13:32
  supposed to mimic the oneness with God, the communion with
• 13:37
  God. And then here you're going to
• 13:40
  see what God is going to prescribe for them, to try to
• 13:44
  figure out if a woman has secretly committed adultery
• 13:48
  against her wife or against her husband. 16 And the priest shall
• 13:57
  bring her near, and set her before the Lord, so he'd bring
• 14:02
  her, and he'd go close up against the holy place. 17 In
• 14:08
  the priest shall take the holy water in an earthen vessel, and
• 14:13
  of the dust that is in the floor of the Tabernacle the priest
• 14:23
  shall take and put it into the water.
• 14:26
  So he's taking the holy water, and he's putting the dust of the
• 14:30
  floor in it. 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the
• 14:34
  Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of
• 14:38
  memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering.
• 14:42
  And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that
• 14:45
  causes the curse. So can you see the whole scene?
• 14:48
  The woman is publicly disgraced, brought in by her husband.
• 14:52
  He's accusing her of infidelity that he cannot prove here.
• 14:58
  The woman is protected because it is all done in a legal way.
• 15:03
  It's all done in the required prescribed way.
• 15:07
  It's not just dealt with in the anger and the hotness of the
• 15:11
  husband who could have a murderous intent.
• 15:15
  He was to bring her there and it was a place of protection for
• 15:20
  her, so that she was not unnecessarily accused of
• 15:23
  something that she had not done that he had no validity to.
• 15:27
  There was no substance to, there was no proof of.
• 15:30
  And so the priest would bring her under his protection and
• 15:34
  bring her in there. And the priest would take this
• 15:37
  bread and put it in her hand. He would untie and her hair
• 15:41
  where it would hang loose, and he would cause the water with
• 15:45
  the dust of the floor to be put into her hand. 19 The priest
• 15:52
  shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man
• 15:56
  have laid with you, and if you have not gone aside into
• 16:00
  uncleanness with another instead of your husband, then you be
• 16:05
  free from this bitter water that causes the curse.
• 16:08
  There was nothing in the water that would actually be bitter or
• 16:11
  that would make any kind of sickness.
• 16:13
  Friends. This would have been completely
• 16:17
  on a holy God to determine. It was not the dust of the
• 16:21
  floor. It was not the ink that would be
• 16:23
  put into it. It was not the water, friends.
• 16:27
  This was just completely reliant upon the Lord showing what
• 16:33
  actually happened. This was just all a legal
• 16:37
  proceeding. That's all this was.
• 16:40
  It was just going through the required motions to be able to
• 16:46
  reveal what happened in secret, whether she was exonerated or
• 16:53
  whether she was convicted. 20 But if you have gone aside to
• 17:06
  another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some
• 17:10
  men have laid with you besides your husband, 21 then the priest
• 17:14
  shall charge the woman with an oath of curse.
• 17:18
  And the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make you a
• 17:21
  curse and an oath among your people.
• 17:24
  And the Lord does make your thigh to rot and your belly to
• 17:28
  swell. So this thigh to rot is talking
• 17:30
  about her womb and this belly to swell.
• 17:34
  Friends, this would have been a mark of the Lord's judgment upon
• 17:38
  her for stepping out in an adulterous way. 22 In this water
• 17:46
  that causes the curse shall go into your bowels and make your
• 17:49
  belly to swell, your thigh to rot, and the woman shall say,
• 17:54
  Amen, Amen. So she was saying yes, yes,
• 17:59
  whatever it is that you say. And if she was not guilty, she
• 18:03
  had nothing to worry about, and she would have been honoured
• 18:09
  amongst all of the people, because God would open up her
• 18:15
  womb and she would be able to have children.
• 18:18
  But if she was guilty, God would close the womb, and she would be
• 18:23
  disgraced. 23 And the priest shall write these curses in a
• 18:27
  book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water.
• 18:31
  So he would write it, and then he would take the ink and put it
• 18:33
  into the water. 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the
• 18:39
  bitter water that causes the curse, and the water that causes
• 18:42
  the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
• 18:45
  God was the only one that could make it bitter. 25 And the
• 18:49
  priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's
• 18:53
  hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and
• 18:57
  offer it upon the altar. So he would take the bread, and
• 19:00
  he would wave it before the Lord, and then he would take
• 19:03
  part of it and throw it into the fire. 26 And the priest shall
• 19:08
  take a handful of the offering, even the memorial of it, and
• 19:11
  burn it upon the altar, and afterwards shall cause the woman
• 19:14
  to drink the water. 27 And when he has made her to drink the
• 19:19
  water, that it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled,
• 19:24
  and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that
• 19:28
  causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and
• 19:32
  her belly shall swell, and her thighs shall rot, and the woman
• 19:36
  shall be a curse among her people. 28 And if the woman be
• 19:41
  not defiled, but be clean, then she shall be free, and shall
• 19:47
  conceive seed. So God would bless her.
• 19:52
  If all this was a big hoax, then God would open up her womb.
• 19:58
  He would show everybody that she was blessed.
• 20:02
  She had not done. These things that she was
• 20:04
  accused of. 29 This is the law of jealousies.
• 20:11
  When a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband,
• 20:15
  and is defiled, 30 Or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon
• 20:19
  him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman
• 20:24
  before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this
• 20:29
  law. 31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and
• 20:34
  this woman shall bear her iniquity.
• 20:37
  So it is implied that he would have to bear his iniquity if she
• 20:42
  was not practicing infidelity. If she was not an adulterer,
• 20:49
  then perhaps this was to be put on to him.
• 20:52
  We can only imply that, but you need to understand that, that
• 20:58
  God desires for one man and for one woman to come together and
• 21:03
  have a monogamous relationship. And this should be simple.
• 21:09
  This should be common sense. But God does not desire
• 21:15
  polygamy. He does not desire for us to
• 21:18
  step out. He wants one man and one woman
• 21:22
  to come together and to rear children and to raise up
• 21:25
  warriors unto Christ and shoot those arrows out into the world.
• 21:31
  I pray that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 21:34
  Word. It's a hard chapter, friends, An
• 21:37
  unorthodox chapter, friends, but we need to read it.
• 21:41
  We need to know it. We need to understand it.
• 21:43
  We need to understand God's heart.
• 21:45
  And His heart is for marriage. His heart is for us to remain
• 21:51
  faithful all the way to the end, till death do us part.
• 21:55
  For better or for worse, sickness and health, we will
• 22:01
  make the commitment to our spouses and finish the race
• 22:05
  well. Stay prayed up, stay blessed.
• 22:08
  I'm praying for you. I love you.
• 22:10
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 22:11
  God bless you.
