Secrets of Time in the Bible: A Journey Through the Ages (Part 1)

* in the world. Shalom, shalom. Shabbat shalom. Shalom, everybody. Good evening. Good evening. Greetings. * Good evening. Good evening. Good afternoon. Shalom, shalom. Shalom, everybody. Shalom, shalom. Good evening. Good evening. Wow, wow, wow. I didn't think anybody would be here tonight on a Monday night. Oh, yes. Lord have mercy. Only us mathematicians. Well, we Let me see if I can find a a co-host to help me with all of this tonight. Let's see. * I know who I'm looking for. They may not be here tonight, though. Yeah, there she is. Make co-host. There you go. All right. Well, we What a pleasant surprise to see all of you on a Monday night after a hard day for many of you, long day at work. So glad to have every one of you here tonight, beautiful crowd. Good evening. * Now, I'm not Pastor, I can hardly Pastor, I can hardly hear you. You can hardly hear me? Yes, sir. Okay. It's very low. Is it just you or everyone else? We can hear you. I cannot hear you. I'm having a hard time hearing you. I'm not able to hear you. We can hear you, Pastor. It's low. I can hear you. I just want to make sure y'all's volume is turned up. * I don't want to blast everybody out. So, let's see. Okay, tell me tell me tell me when we're better. Tell me when we're better. Feels so much better. It's getting better now, Pastor. That sounds It's getting better? That's better. Yes, sir, much better. Okay. Much better. Now we can hear you. Wonderful. Well, I'm not going to spend any time like we normally do greeting everybody because I realize time is limited this late on a Monday night. * So, I'm really just going to jump I'm glad to see all of you. You look beautiful this evening. I want to say right from the onset that I am not committing to do this every Monday night. So, please know that. This is just happened to be a night whenever I did get a nap this evening and I woke up feeling like, you know what? I can do this tonight. * So, um but I do want to show you before we get the class started I want to give you a little update so you can start making your plans for for Shavuot or Pentecost, which is in June. Um I'm I just sent in the deposit for this property and I'm going to show you where we will be at. Uh so you can go ahead and start making arrangements. * Now, we do not have the booking code yet. I will not get that until tomorrow once they receive the deposit. Uh so once we get that, then uh you can start booking your rooms there. Let's see. Why can I not share this PDF? Mhm. Why will it not let me share the PDF here? Um Okay. Nope, won't let me share it there either. * All right. Um maybe it doesn't share PDFs. I don't know. Screen. It's on my screen. Okay. All right, it's not letting me show you the property. I was going to show you how beautiful this place is and how much of a great time we're going to have. Um once I tomorrow evening, I will have the booking uh information for you. * Now, once you get that, you need to book cuz I have only blocked off 40 rooms. So that's once that's gone, then you'll have to get an Airbnb or another hotel. Now, let me tell you before uh we go any further, this is a destination hotel. What does that mean? The prices are a little bit higher than just going down to the any Holiday Inn. * But the way the rooms are set up, they have two king beds and a pull-out sofa. So two families could, you know, split those costs, stay together if they wanted to. It's going to be a great. I just ordered the uh the uh catered lunch that we're going to have. It's going to be a marvelous time at Gatlinburg, Tennessee uh for Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost. * Every year we're going to go to a different location. Now, the young people uh on I believe on uh on Shabbat, the young people will all go tubing. Uh down those dangerous mountain rivers. Anybody that wants to go that thinks they're young is welcome to go as well. The rest of us will be having a grand picnic in Cades Cove. So, hallelujah. * Amen. So, you choose your speed whether you go with the old folks to the picnic that day or you go tubing. It's totally up to you. But, it's going to be a great day. So, bring your children, your grandchildren. It's going to be a great great great time. Um next year, I do plan to go to Branson, Missouri. * That will be our next um roving date. So, all that information will come out to you in an email probably tomorrow night. You can start booking your rooms immediately. And unlike Lake Guntersville, you do not have to pay for your rooms when you book them. I believe you're able just to give them a credit card. And um and they'll hold it for you. * All right. Why am I doing this class? Because when I'm teaching the book of Daniel, I'm throwing out a bunch of dates. And I'm getting uh hundreds of questions about where are you getting these dates from? How do you know it's 1993 and 2014 and and of course, if If stop and explain that in every one of my Daniel lessons, I'll never get through the book of Daniel. * So, I felt it was uh wise to do this maybe three or four classes on time travel. I'm calling it time travel. Uh because people already think we're weird, so why not just make it more weird. Amen. So, we're time travelers and we're going to travel through time is what we're going to do and explain time to you. * I'd like to start our study out tonight because I plan to let you off of here in in 1 hour. So, it's going to be short and sweet, but we're going to get right to the point. Now, my my 1 hour doesn't start till we read the first verse now, okay? All right. Amen. Let's turn to the book of Psalms tonight, chapter 90, verse 12. * The book of Psalms, chapter 90, verse 12. You must fall in love with time. Time is Yahweh's tool. It is His creation. Yahweh created time for a purpose and we need to understand that purpose. Psalms 90 and 12 teach us to number our days. Why would we want Yahweh to teach us how to number our days? So that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. * We could read that verse, teach us how to count time. Because in the counting of time and the breaking down of time, we get wisdom. What is wisdom? It's understanding the ways of Yahweh. If that's really what wisdom is. When he says consider your ways, what he's trying to tell you is learn my ways. Now, how do we learn his ways? By learning to count time. * I realize when I say count our days, we think okay, day 1 2 3 4. No, that's not counting your days. When you go look up that word count your days, it literally is telling you to assign your days. Because in when we begin to assign time, we start understanding Yahweh. And it's so important that we understand him. * Because if we don't, doubt. There's this ministry and all of you that are part of it are people of strong faith. But there's a reason for that faith. Because we don't leave any room for doubt in your minds. When you know how to count time, there is no room for doubt in Yahweh's plan for the ages. I want you to understand that there I'm going to say less than 1% of the people on planet Earth that understands Yahweh's plan. * That's a bold statement, is it not? I believe less than 1% of all humanity understands Yahweh's plan for the ages. You don't have to go far to figure that out. Just ask anyone what Yahweh plans to do on the seventh day. Just and no one knows. I know a group of people that know. So, as we count time, we are learning the ways of God. * My overall purpose for these next few lessons on time travel or counting time is to portray the sovereignty of Yahweh in history. If there's any takeaway that I want you to get if you're taking notes, when we're done in three to four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 weeks, however long this goes, I want you to end up with seeing the sovereignty of Yahweh in history. * And indeed, I want you to say what the Apostle Paul said in Romans 11:33, "What a great God we have. Oh, the depths of His riches, both the wisdom and the knowledge of Yahweh. How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways are past finding out." I want you to come with such an awe and a reverence of His perfection that there's never room for doubt in your mind as to what time it is. * That's my first purpose in these lessons. But I have a second purpose. And that's to give you an overall view of the structure of history from a Bible perspective. I want you to be able to look back over the history of mankind and see the structure. Put that word structure in your notes if you're taking notes. I want you to see the structure of time. * I want you to see that nothing happens by accident. That is a primordial lesson that I want you to learn in these lessons. Nothing happens by accident. Nothing has happened by accident, and nothing will happen by accident. Third, I want you to understand that men do not determine history. Yahweh does. These need These things need to be established in your heart, deep in your heart, that men do not determine the history, and men do not determine the future. * They are partners with God in history and in the future, but they do not determine history or the future. I want you to learn in these lessons that nations rise and fall according to his decree. Nebuchadnezzar figured that out in the book of Daniel chapter 4, did he not? When he was sent out as a wild man, a wild animal, to live among the be He had to learn that it's God that sets them up. * No king, no president, no monarch stands above the Torah, the law of Yahweh. No man stands above it. All men stand beneath it. All men are governed by it, whether they know it or not. I want you to learn in these lessons that no man can withstand the irreversible judgment of God when the day of visitation arrives. * These are things I want you to learn. Know them. Have no doubt about them. And these lessons are going to help you do that. I have a third purpose. My first purpose was what? The sovereignty of God. Seeing it in everything. My second purpose is to give you a biblical view of history, the structure of history. * My third purpose in these lessons, and definitely not the least important, is to instill within your heart a burning desire to know your heavenly Father more, to be more conformed into his image and his likeness, and to catch the vision of the Feast of Tabernacles. Put that in your notes. It is time for you to catch not the knowledge of the Feast of Tabernacles. * Many people have the knowledge of it, but very few have the vision to understand where we are at now. In these lessons, I'm going to go through Passover and Pentecost, but my primordial focus is going to bring you into the vision of the Feast of Tabernacles. Why? Because at this moment in time, 2025, we are at the threshold of the Tabernacle age. * And I'm going to show you what an age is in these lessons. The Passover age began, if you're taking notes, this is a good one. The Passover age began when Israel left Egypt at the Passover unto Mount Calvary. That's called the Passover age. I'm going to see if anybody's listening. Someone tell me the Passover that again? I'll let somebody that was I want somebody to repeat it for me. * The Passover age age is when they left Egypt Egypt to go to Mount Calvary. Mount and until Mount Calvary. All right, thank you very much. That is the age of Passover. Okay? Now, what is the age of Pentecost? The age of Pentecost begins right after Mount Calvary at the upper room when that great Shavuot took place. * By the way, another word for Pentecost is Shavuot, as s h a v u o t. And that began the Pentecostal or the Shavuotian age, however you want to say it. But that was an age that literally beginning the second chapter of Acts. And when does that age end? Tabernacles. Now, exactly. That age will end after 40 jubilees. * Now, I want to explain something to all of you students because the people we have here tonight is not the whole church. It's a select group of students that can follow the depths of these teachings. You cannot understand time until you understand one word. Jubilee. Okay? The problem with the church, they are clueless of the Jubilee. * The age of Pentecost will be 40 Jubilees. Does anybody know how many years that is? There you go. All right. It's very simple. 49 times 40 and you come up with your answer. It's very simple. Basically, we're at the end of the Pentecostal age. That is why the great Pentecostal churches are drying and dying. Okay? How many remember the age of the charismatics, Kenneth Hagin's, the all of the great I mean, we've been in the, you know, this great Pentecostal age of William Branham's, miracle, signs, wonders, and all of these * But yet, Benny Hinn's, I mean, I could go on and on and on. I mean, I'm not endorsing those people. I'm just saying, there was a a time that is it's gone. If you'll look around, the show is over. I mean, turn on your television, there is no more great ministries out there. That age has closed out. * We are at the threshold now of the next age. All right. Now We're in the greatest ministry of them all right now. Of them all. Of them all. This is the finishing age. Now, I'm going to give you a number right now. And let me, please, let me say this. When I give you a number or a date. Allow some latitude. Because there is some discrepancies of whether he died in 30 AD, 33. * There are some There are things that So, when I give you a date, please don't go out and set your flag there. Set your flag somewhere around there. Okay? So, these are what I call guidepost that you can look to. The Pentecostal age ended, as best as I can tell, in 1993 would have been the end of that Uh now, by the way, I'm counting jubilees. * That number's going to throw you off. I'm counting jubilees not by 50 years, but by 49 years. Okay? Now, the reason I'm doing that is because there is some discrepancy whether you are to count the 50th year. All right? So, what do we have to do? If we do count the 50th year, you can throw 1993 away, and now you have to add 50 more year So, in other words, 49 A jubilee is technically 49 years. * And the 50th year is the year of freedom. Okay? So, keep that in mind. I'm just giving you guidepost. And by the way, if you don't allow me that, then I won't teach these lessons. I cannot give an exact date except to tell you where the guidepost should go. So, let's do some math, shall we? Someone multiply 49, since I don't have my calculator with me. * times 49 1,960 Okay. Now, that's where 93 is coming from. From AD 33 to 93. That's where that number's coming from. Okay. Now, if we count the 50th year, then we're missing then we have to Shh. All right, I'm not going to keep explaining it. You got to give me latitude is what I'm telling you in these numbers. All right. * Because now this is serious study here. I I I'm not just going to talk over these numbers. I'm going to show you exactly where we're getting them from so that you can follow. They The moral of the story, whether it's 49 years or 50 years, we're at the end. Okay? Time has run out on the Pentecostal uh I Can I just talk? I don't That don't sound like a preacher to say it that way. * uh We're at the end of the crap show. Okay? It's over. Okay? I'm sorry. I don't know how else to say it. All right. But the Pentecostal age with all of its theatrics and all of its And and but there was a real There was a real Oh, absolutely. But then there was a lot of fake. There were It was an age of power with no Torah. * And it was a ugly age. It got ugly. Uh And and I'll give you an example. One of the greatest men in that movement was brother uh Oh my God. I know his name like I know my own. Great healing evangelist from Arizona. Not Branham. uh Oh, man. Biggest tents in the nation. Who? Hagin. Hagin. No. No. A. A. Allen? Uh, there were Adam. * Allen. Allen. Allen. You know, brother Allen had a powerful Pentecostal ministry, died an alcoholic. Um, there's a reason for this. There was no Torah in the Pentecostal age. And what's so sad is it should have been because Pentecost is all about Torah, right? So, uh, we we're that age is ending. We and I, you and I are standing at the precipice of that age. * We're in the transition. And in the next few lessons, I'm going to teach you about transition numbers so you can sort of gauge this transition of where we are right now. Now, the Tabernacle age Or, I need you to go to bed, you know. Yeah, go to bed, baby. Hallelujah. That will last a thousand years and then go into eternity. * Keep in mind, I want you to begin referring to the Tabernacle age as the great rest year. The great rest year. And there's a reason I want you to retrain your brain to seeing the millennial as the year of rest. There's a reason it lasts a thousand years. Prophetically, it is the Sabbath millennium. And why am I stickler on that word? Because if you don't start referring to it as the great Sabbath, that's my favorite word for the millennium, the great Sabbath. * Because if you don't refer to it that way, you can't tie the importance of keeping Sabbath to the millennium. You with me? So, you need to start retraining your brain. Instead of the millennial reign, that that that all that means is 1,000 years. Refer to it as the purpose, the great Sabbath. Because indeed, that's what it will be, a year a Sabbath year of rest. * And that way, you can know every week. See, that is what's disappointing to me about Sabbath keepers. Let me show you the importance now. Watch this. You have many Sabbath keepers in the world. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is one of the largest churches that keeps the Sabbath. Okay? And yet, they do not keep the Sabbath. * Why? Because when they come together, it looks nothing like the millennial reign. The purpose of the weekly Sabbath is to do what? To celebrate the Sabbath, the millennial celebration. At First Harvest Ministries, do you know why we run around the church on the Sabbath day? Do you know why we join hands and dance in a circle? Do you know why we sound the shofars? Why? We are trying to do more than keep the Sabbath. * We're trying to experience the Sabbath. The Bible said, "Celebrate my Sabbath." And that's what we do. The millennial reign will be the greatest celebration on planet Earth that it's ever known. It will be a year of rejoicing. It will be 1,000 years, which we're calling a year of rejoicing. Why? Because of that word I told you earlier, jubilee. * All right. You must become students of the jubilee to understand how to count time. During the millennial reign or the great Sabbath, there will be an overcoming remnant who exercise great authority over the earth. Their word will reflect the very mind of their heavenly father. Now, I'm ready to start my lesson. * I've got 30 minutes left. To get to all of these time, we have to start at the basics. The basic is the law of jubilee. You're going to learn it. You're going to hear it. You're going to get so sick of hearing about jubilee over the next few weeks. Because if you came from a Baptist church, you know nothing about jubilee. * Can I get a hand raised? Anybody? Okay. If you come from a Pentecostal church, you know nothing about jubilee. If you come from Catholic, any Christian church, you know nothing about the jubilee. And I'm fixing to tell you a shocker. If you came from the Jewish people, you know nothing about the jubilee. Oh, you know in history about it. * But even the Jews do not keep the jubilee. Ever since they came back from Babylon, they never kept it. The Christian church doesn't keep it. The Jewish people doesn't keep it. So, do you see now why Satan has robbed us because without the Jubilee, you cannot tell biblical time. It's impossible. * So, if you're taking notes, the basic concept of time is the weekly Sabbath. That's where it all starts. Seven, seven, seven. And then every seven years is a Sabbath, a week-long Sabbath. I'm sorry, year. I'm so sorry. And then after that, it's the great Jubilee. So, you have three measurements there of time. * Without the knowledge of it, you cannot count your days. The law of Jubilee is the legal foundation of grace. Put that in your notes. The law of Jubilee is the legal foundation of grace. You see, we live in a church world that pits law against grace. If you go to a good Baptist church, here's what you're going to hear. We believe in grace, not the law. * You go into a good legalistic church, you're going to hear the law and no grace. Okay? But the law of Jubilee is what takes all the confusion out of works and grace and law. You must understand this law of Jubilee. Because there is no opposition to the law and grace. Romans chapter 3, verse 27. Where there is boasting, it is excluded by what kind of law? Of works? No. * But by the law of faith. Now, according to Romans 3:31, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be. On the contrary, we establish the law by faith. Now, there is a spirit called the law of the spirit of life in Christ that overcomes the law of sin and death. You can find that in Romans 8:2. Many people today think the law is evil, that it's unjust, that it's unscriptural, it's fleshly. * But Paul says in Romans 7:12, that the law is holy, and just, and good. So, which one is it, my friend? Is the law anything other than what Yahweh says? It is holy, it is just, it is good. Now, Pastor Vaughn, why are you teaching us about the law and grace? I thought we were here to learn about numbers. You are. * But the problem is, to find those numbers, guess where we have to go back to? The law, the Torah. And so, I have to establish with you tonight that indeed, there is no problem with law and grace. They work together. Now, read I don't Is Elder Morgan here tonight? If not, uh he's probably worked all day. Let's see. * Uh let's read uh Elder Jan, if you have it. Go to Romans 7 and 25. And read that for me tonight. All right, Romans 7: 25. Oh, thank Yah. He will through Yeshua Hamashiach, the anointed one, our our No, the anointed one. So, they indeed, I have myself with the mind and heart serve the law of Yah. Uh but with the flesh, the law of sin. * He says, "I delight in the law of Yahweh." Read Romans 7:22. Romans 7:22. For I endorse and delight in the law of Yah in my inmost self with my new nature. Paul was never against the law. In the Torah is where we find the foundation of faith. Now, justification, I want to talk to you about uh sinners that come before God's throne to receive grace. * The judgment of the law versus grace simply means that a sinner must know how to legally appeal his case before the throne of God. Because every one of us are sinners, we were worthy of judgment. And that is what we will receive unless we know the lawful way to obtain grace. Grace is simply forgiveness in spite of the crime we have committed. * Now, why am I teaching this tonight? Because I cannot get into the Jubilee, which is where I need to get, until you know in your mind the legal way of forgiveness. You have to understand grace and the greatness of grace to be able to count time according to the Jubilee. Now, when the charges against you and me are read in God's court, how do we plead our case? Many Christians will tell God, "Your Honor, there is no law against those sins that you're charging me with. * Don't you recall you repealed those laws at the cross? And according to Romans 4:15, where there is no law, there is no transgression. SO, I STAND BEFORE YOU, you cannot charge me with sin. All laws are repealed and now everything is lawful for me. That is how most Christians will approach grace." Well, I could almost hear the judge respond, "I told you, sir, that I came NOT TO DESTROY THE law in Matthew 5:17, but to fulfill it. * And Paul told you in Romans 3:31 that I did not make void the law because of faith. And then John told you in 1 John 3 and 4 that sin is still the transgression of the law. I've always told you I will judge sin. Did you really think, sir, that you could continue in sin that grace may abound? Romans 6 and 1 has your answer, Mr. Defendant. * Never did Yahweh make sin lawful. He only He said, "I only changed the form by which you may obtain grace when you sin." To obtain grace, a sinner must answer in this way. Your Honor, I admit I'm a sinner. I am guilty as charged of violating your law. I turn away from my lawless attitude, thinking that I could sin with full immunity. * I confess that you are just in all your ways, and you may justly sentence me to death according to Romans 6 and 23. However, Your Honor, your son paid the full penalty of my sins, and I have accepted his provision. The law is fully satisfied, AND THE DEBT FOR MY PAST sins have all been paid. * At that moment, the judge makes the following statement. Let the record show THIS MAN'S SINS HAVE BEEN PAID FOR in full. Therefore, this court extends grace to him and releases him. HE IS NOW no longer under the sentence of the law, but he's now under grace. And then he says these words, "Mr. Defendant, now go and sin no more." If that defendant does not show remorse, godly sorrow, for breaking his father's law, if you ever repented to Yahweh, for fear that your sins would send you to hell, you've never repented. * That's deeper than many of you picked up. Listen to me. If your repentance does not come from a godly sorrow, a sorrow that you acknowledge you have violated his ways, then you have never repented. And many Christians have never repented. Never. They have bought a ticket to get them out of hell, but they've never repented. * They've never turned around and gone and sinned no more. Now, what does this have to do with time? Everything. Because time is measured in the Jubilees. Until you understand grace, you cannot understand the Jubilee. If you show no remorse for sin, and you think that you can sin with impunity, you cannot walk under grace. * I hope you heard what I just taught you. You are only under grace now because you're no more under the law. You cannot be under the law and under grace. You cannot be under grace and under the law. You're only under the law when you're walking in a condition of having broken the law. But when you're walking under grace, you're walking in Christ and the full pardon that he gave you. * Why can someone that is not truly remorseful of their sin not get grace? Why? They've obtained it illegally. They've tried to obtain it as an illegal alien. We have something in this nation sort of like grace. You know what it's called? Asylum. If you don't violate our national borders and you come to the door of the United States and knock on the door and say I want to come in the right way this nation will give you grace. * Absolutely. But when you crawl over our wall you have not acknowledged that you're a sinner. You have not acknowledged that you violated the law. Oh, you may have come to the altar because that good Baptist preacher convinced you you were going to burn for all eternity and you came running DOWN THERE CRYING NOT BECAUSE you were repenting but because you were scared of going to hell. * And you came over the wall but without remorse, without repentance. And that's how many people come into the United States and therefore they're not under grace. Listen to me. They might be in the United States but they're not under grace. They're not under asylum. You might BE IN THE SO-CALLED CHURCH. YOU MAY BE AMONG US but it doesn't mean you're under grace. * Grace is when you acknowledge that you have broken your father's heart. Grace is when you acknowledge that you took his law as nothing. You lived life your own way. That is the only way to get grace. A pardon full and free. The Bible calls any other way lawlessness. You see Yahweh does not acquit the guilty by repealing his law. * He acquits the guilty by upholding the law and paying the full penalty through his son. Never was the law upheld and respected any more than when Yeshua died on the cross to pay the full penalty that it prescribed for our sins, the death of a Passover lamb. Your view of the law will determine your view of sin. * Many Christians believe that God legalized all sin. Others believe that he legalized everything except the Ten Commandments. That's the only sins now. Both views is lawlessness. No law has ever been repealed. Put that in your notes. No law has ever been repealed, ever. Ever. There is no such thing as which laws are still in effect. * The entire Torah is eternal. And you need to remember that, saints. Because that view of Torah will determine your view of sin. Now, I I want to bring you up to what Paul meant when he said under the law. Romans 6:14 and 15 says, "Sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law." I I wish somebody would eyeball that verse of scripture. * I'm fixing to make it so plain for you what it means to be under the law. If sin has dominion over you today, ladies and gentlemen, I don't care what your Baptist church told you or your Pentecostal church. If sin has dominion over you today, you are still under the law. Okay? You're If you do not want to come under the law in the United States of America, I'll tell you how not to do it. * Don't break the speed limit. If you don't break the speed limit, you'll never come under You know what under the law looks like? Click, click. That's You're now under the law. You violated it. So, now you're under it. So, if you if you want to keep riding down the freeway of love in my pink Cadillac, if you want to keep riding in grace, call that your grace Cadillac, there's a way to do it. * If you want to ride in grace, don't break the speed limit. But as long as you are violating the law, you are under the law. That's what Romans 6:14 says. Shall we sin? Verse 15, because we are no longer under the law, but under grace? What did Paul say? God forbid. Being under the law refers to an obligation to keep the law. * But if we are no longer obligated to keep the law, then why does PAUL FORBID US TO SIN? 1 John 3 and 4 said, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresses the law, for sin is transgression of the law." Paul said the same thing in Romans 3 and 20. By the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 7 and 7, "I had not known sin, except for the law. * " The law defines sin. Under the law refers to the law's attitude towards you, not your attitude toward the law. You may want to write that one down. Under the law refers to the law's attitude towards you, not your attitude toward the law. A sinner who is convicted of a crime is now under the law. The law sees you as its captive. * And the law will stand over you and force you to pay restitution to your victims. Now, when are you no longer under the law? Let's say right now you go and break in a drugstore. You're going to come under the law. The law takes a different attitude towards you today than it did yesterday. Yesterday you were not under the law. * But you went broke in a home or drugstore and you stole a thousand dollars worth of drugs. Under Torah, they didn't put you in jail. No, no, no. They made you pay back two thousand I'm sorry, sevenfold. A seven thousand dollars if you stole a thousand. Ah, you don't have seven thousand dollars? No problem. Come to my house and you're going to sleep in the slave quarters out there and you're going to work seven thousand dollars worth of work. * I promise you we could cut down crime just like in a day in this nation. I promise you. These penal institutions, it's never the will of God. Putting people away for 10 years and let them eat off of us and feeding them and clothe them. No, no, no, no. Put them on a chain gang and make them pay back every dime sevenfold, you'll cut out crime and it forever. * Why? Because once you paid the $7,000 back, guess what happens? You're no longer what? Under the law. Your debt's paid. The problem with us, we don't see sin as debt. Sin, if you're taking notes, sin is debt. And baby, you're going to pay your debts. Amen. That's why the prayer of the Lord is forgive us our debts as we forgive those that have trespassed. * How do we compare debts with tres- There it is right there. God sees sin as debt. And my friend, somebody's going to pay that debt off. And if you didn't if you didn't do it, the Son of God did it and the only way you come under grace is fully recognizing His sacrifice for that sin. And by the way, if you didn't want to work it off, there was one other way to get grace. * Do you have a near kinsman that could pay the $7,000? I'm trying to show you under the law, there's only one way out from under the law. What was it? Pay it back, work it back, or you got to have somebody fashioned like a man. Hallelujah. You got to have a near kinsman that can come down to the courthouse and pay the $7,000 and instantly, I said, instantly, you're no longer under the law. Hallelujah. * I'm so glad I had A NEAR KINSMAN FASHIONED AFTER mankind that went to THE COURTHOUSE. HALLELUJAH. AND HE SAID, "FATHER, I BRING YOU THE sacrifice for their sin." Oh, the wonder of it. Oh, the wonder of it. Hallelujah. Oh, I'm grateful. I don't know about you, but I didn't have $7,000. I didn't have enough good in me to overcome the evil that I had done in my life. Hallelujah. * I thank I I said, "I thank Yah for Yeshua." Hallelujah. I thank Yah for Yeshua. Glory. Glory, glory, glory. So, therefore, the law no longer has jurisdiction over a true believer in Christ. Now, what do you mean, pastor? How do I know if I'm a true believer? I'm glad you asked. Thought you would never get to that question. How do I know I'm no longer under the law? How do I know I'm truly under grace? Here's the evidence. * When you go and sin no more. Oh, Pastor Vaughn, are you telling us we're going to be sinless? No, no, no. No, because when you sin, you have an advocate with the Father. And the Bible said, if you confess that sin, then you no longer have sin. The difference in you and an unbeliever is not your level of sin, it's your level of repentance and confession and your anger at yourself for There's some people that are not angry that they sinned. * THEY'RE NOT UPSET that they failed God. But there's some of us can't go to BED IF WE KNOW WE FAILED the Lord BECAUSE TRULY WE'RE GRATEFUL for grace AND WE RESPOND TO THAT GRACE WITH A LIFE of obedience to the law. Hallelujah. Oh, thank God. Listen, children, you're going to make mistakes every day. By the way, mistakes are not always sin. * Torah defines sin, okay? But be be that as it may, the moment you feel like you have failed the Lord, you'll know if you're a true believer if tears can still come to your eyes. You'll know you're a true believer if you feel that quick prompting of his holy Ruach Kodesh. When you feel that you That means you're a believer. * That means you have truly come under grace. Amen. Hallelujah. If you feel like you've offended somebody, you won't be able to go to bed tonight. That's the difference in us and them. The law convicts all men of sin. But we are not under the law. Why? Because Yeshua paid the debt and that law was satisfied. Now, why did I spend all that time talking about something that doesn't seem to have anything to do without a count time? Because of a certain law that you must learn. * The law of redemption. All of time is based on the law of redemption. So, I had to spend that 30 minutes talking about law and grace to show you the importance of these laws because you now have to become a student of the law of redemption. All right? Now, in the Bible all sin is a what? I just told you. * All sin is reckoned as a what? Come on, students. Debt. The transgression of the law. It is a debt. It is a debt. When a man sins by stealing, the law reckons his sin as a debt to be paid back to his victim. This is called, put this in your notes, restitution. You know, that's why when people bring up my past and my mistakes and what I went to prison for, I know that I'm hearing from a devil. * Here's why. I paid restitution. You understand me? I paid my restitution. I did my time. I paid back every dime. I paid restitution according to the law of Yahweh, that debt is paid. It's called restitution. When you've made restitution, you are no longer a criminal. And I disagree in our nation with a felony for life. * I totally disagree with that concept because it violates Torah. Uh when you have paid the debt to society, when you then you are no longer known as as as a criminal. You're no longer Why? You paid your debt. Well, with God, the law is satisfied not with putting you in jail, but with restitution. It's the principle of redemption. * To redeem someone, and this is powerful what I'm about to teach you. To redeem someone is to redeem their debt note. Okay? When you marry a woman and she has debt, she didn't just become your wife. You just became a lot poorer. Amen. Hallelujah. I see a lot of men laughing here tonight. Hallelujah. Amen. Why? Because you don't just take her as your wife, you take her debt notes, you take everybody she owed. * You now owe all of that. You redeemed your wife. You brought all of her debts over with you, okay? Now, to redeem someone is to redeem THEIR DEBT. SO, YESHUA came to redeem me and you from what? Sin. Therefore, all of our debts uh forgive us our debts. Hallelujah. Oh, I feel THE HOLY GHOST. ALL OF OUR DEBTS, WHEN HE married this bride, he took all of our credit cards, ALL OF OUR DEBTS THAT WE OWED HIS FATHER UP ON HIMSELF. * And when he paid the debt, he redeemed your debt note. That is what he nailed to the cross, my beloved friend. He The When the Bible said that he nailed OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE NAILED THESE THINGS WHAT HE NAILED THERE WAS OUR DEBT NOTE THAT WE owed was paid in full in the law of redemption. You are no longer what they say you are. * According to Yahweh, you are paid in full. Now, he is our redeemer. And according to the word of Yahweh, the Torah, and we're going to turn there, Elder Jan, Leviticus 25, 47 through 53. We're going to turn there now. And we're going to see the certain rights that's granted to the redeemer. Leviticus 25, 47 through 53. * Okay. And if a sojourner or stranger was rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him was poor, and sell himself under the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stranger's family, after that he is sold, he may be redeemed again. One of his brethren may redeem him. Either his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him. * Or if he is be able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of Jubilee. And the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years. According to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. * And if there remain but few years unto the year of Jubilee, then he shall count with him and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall be he with him and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in his sight. There is a reason that I tell you you cannot understand the Bible without reading Torah. * Because Torah reveals to you the heart of our father. Okay? Torah is his heart. If you want to know how Yah thinks, you have to read Torah. And what I just read right here was the father's heart. Ultimate redemption. Now, according to this law of redemption that Elder Meadows just read to us, there is two ways to redeem yourself from what you owe someone. * If you've got the money, you can redeem yourself. If you're a slave, you went into slavery, this man has a right to make you his slave because you stole from him. If you can pay it back, go for it. But I know about I don't know about you, but I wasn't able to pay it back. Hallelujah. But if you have a near kinsman that can pay it back, he alone has the right. * No one else can come break it down. I stole a thousand dollars from Elder Meadows. She has the right to claim me as her slave. Cuz I can't pay her back. I go work on her ranch. And I'm there two or three days later. And someone comes up and says, "Miss Meadows, um I would like to redeem your slave from you and and take him back. * " And she says, "And who are you?" Uh I'm Joe Blow from his next door neighbor. I went and got money, and I raised up a collection, and we want to bring him back. And she says, "Sorry, can't do that." Why? It's against Torah. The next person pulls up. She goes to Finally, someone that is blood kin to that man pulls up with the price. * She at that point has no option. She cannot say, "Let me think about it." She cannot say, "Um no, I just don't want to sell him right now." No, according to Torah, she loses her right to the slave the moment a near kinsman comes forward with the price to redeem the slave. And now you might understand Hebrews chapter 2 verse 16. * It says that Yeshua took on him the seed of Abraham. Why did he have to be a descendant of Abraham? Because he had to redeem the house of Israel. And according to Hebrews 2 and 14, he took upon himself flesh and blood so that he would be a near kinsman to mankind. And according to Hebrews 2:15, who through fear of death were all of their lifetime slaves to bondage. * Is anybody hearing it? Amen. Why did he become Abraham's son? Because all of you are lost tribe members. Listen to me. None of you could be redeemed except from a member of one of those tribes. Hallelujah. And then he's going to redeem more than just the lost tribes. In the millennium, he's going to redeem all mankind. * So that's where the flesh and blood part comes in cuz by flesh and blood, he's kin to all humans. Amen. Hallelujah. Oh, the wonder of it. Glory, glory, glory. The debtor who is redeemed Now watch this. What happens? Let's go to Leviticus 25 and 53. What happens when that debtor has been redeemed by that near kinsman? Read it. Leviticus 25:53. * And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him. And the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight. Ah, listen now. Even though you're free from the taskmaster that the redeemer just redeemed you from, you're not free. BUT YOU ARE FREE. BUT NOW YOU WILL work as a hired servant. * You'll get a reward now instead of a wasted life, instead of a drug-addicted life, instead of a wasted life. Now you'll work as a hired servant. There'll be a reward for you at the end of your life. Hallelujah. Oh, the Torah so perfect. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And now you might understand a whole lot better Romans chapter 6, Elder Meadows. * Verse 16 through verse 22. Let's read it and see if it doesn't all line up for us now. Hallelujah. Okay. Okay. And Romans 6, 16 through 22. Okay. Know ye not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death or of or of obedience unto righteousness. * So Paul says, Elder Meadows, you're going to be either a bound servant or a hired servant. But all the days of your life you will serve someone. Amen. Read. But ya be thanked that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you. Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness. * You're free, but you're not free. Hallelujah. Oh, it's so beautiful, is it not? By the way, am I wearing these glasses? Oh my god. That is my wife's glasses. Oh, I just saw my own glasses. Oh my god. I called her a minute ago to bring me some glasses, and that's what she brought me. Okay. Honey, I need some manly glasses, please. You've been redeemed. * I've been redeemed. THEY LOOKED GOOD ON YOU. Put them back on. Yeah, they were fine. That's not my style. Thank you, my love. very manly. Thank you. Here we go. Now, now we're more more more my style. Oh, Karen wants me to wear these. Oh, yeah. There you go. She likes those. Hallelujah. Thank you, baby. Oh, my little overcoming wife. * Y'all Paul said you're free, but you're not free. Read. Keep reading, Elder. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity to your flesh of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. * As much as you sinned, you ought to be doing that much more now to walk that straight and narrow way. And as much as you celebrated Christmas and Easter, you ought to be now a servant to Passover and Shavuot and Tabernacles even the more. Hallelujah. Oh, read, Elder, that last two verses. For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. * What fruit had you then in those things whereof you were are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. I love what he said. I love what he said, you were not a hired servant. What fruit do you have? Where's your payday except for needle prints in your arms? And and where's your fruit? Where's your payday? He said, but if you'll let me come redeem you, if you'll accept my redemption, I'll give you a payday. * Hallelujah. I'LL GIVE YOU FRUIT. OH, I'LL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE. OH, I'LL GIVE YOU THE BEST LIFE. I WILL PAY YOU FOR your faithfulness to me. Oh, hallelujah. Read. Hallelujah. But now being made free from sin and become servants to Yah, you have your fruit under holiness and the end everlasting life. Sounds like a good hired job to me. * Hallelujah. Oh, I traded my sorrow. Hallelujah. OH. OH, I thank Yah that I traded my sorrow. He gave me morning my dancing for my morning. He turned me around. Hallelujah. But he didn't give me No, he didn't give me cart blanche freedom. No. No. He gave me rather a promise. That if you'll work for me as hard as you worked for Satan, you'll be a hired servant. * I'll treat you good. I'll give you good wages. Hallelujah. Now, again, why have I taught all of this? Because now I can begin to teach you the law of Jubilee, which is how you count time. And now to understand the law of Jubilee, oh, I'm 15 minutes. No, no, I'm not cuz I started at 7:13 with my text. I'm 2 minutes past my deadline, thank you very much. * And everybody knows I have a 10-minute grace period. Leviticus 25 and verse 54, please. Hallelujah. That's just a given, children. You know it already. Hallelujah. Now, Elder before Elder Meadows reads, what she's about to read is the law of Jubilee. You can also call it the law of redemption. If a man in Israel lost his land through debt or poverty, an example, let's just say so something you'll understand. * He couldn't pay his property taxes. Right now my property taxes are due on all my properties. I've got to write a check, even though they say I own this land. You If you think you own land, you've lost your mind. You don't never own it. If you can't pay the taxes on it, you don't own it. All right? So, if you couldn't pay the taxes and you lost that land, it went to the sheriff's sale, if you will. * What you would have to do, then you would go to work for others to repay the debt. But no matter how far you went into debt, you would always get your land back at the end of 49 years. And what I've just revealed to you is how to tell time. The entire structure of time is based on seven times seven. Ah, times seven Okay? If you don't learn how to tell time seven times seven times seven Let's try that. * What is seven times seven? 49 What is seven times seven times seven? 490 400 Okay? I just gave you the three numbers that will help you tell time all through the Bible. Seven times seven times seven All right? Now, that's why when you get into the parables of Christ on forgiveness, people have no idea what he's talking about. But he did. * He was restoring what the Jews had forgotten about, the year of Jubilee. How many times should we forgive our brother? Seven times seven? Oh, no. You Jewish people, you have forgotten what my entire Bible was about. No, I say unto you 70 what? times seven the forgotten mystery of the word of Yahweh the year of Jubilee. And I'm telling you, you and this class are going to become masters at explaining the year You're going to become preachers of the year of Jubilee. * You're going to become declarers of the year of Jubilee. Your message First Harvest has never been about the Sabbath day. We'll let the Seventh-day Adventist do that one, okay? Your message is about the Jubilee. It's the missing message. And contained within the Jubilee message is how to tell time. * Elder, let's read that, verse 54 of Leviticus 25. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of Jubilee, both he and his children with him. Now, I fix to say some things that's going to really shock you. If that kinsman redeemer doesn't find him, if that kinsman redeemer fails to show up for a day of visitation before the Jubilee, my God. * Anybody got any ears out there tonight? Can anybody Can anybody see where I'm headed with this thing? Some people get lucky. The kinsman redeemer comes looking for them. They're called the lost tribes. I came to SEEK AND TO SAVE ONLY THAT WHICH WAS LOST, which is the lost tribes of the house of Israel. But if that redeemer don't knock on your heart's door, IF THAT REDEEMER DOESN'T DRAW YOU UNDER HIMSELF ACCORDING TO JOHN 6:44, IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, YAHWEH SAYS, "HOLD TIGHT. * HOLD TIGHT ACCORDING TO TORAH. EVERY MAN, HIS WIFE, AND HIS CHILDREN will be redeemed." Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my. Woo, hallelujah. Hallelujah. I don't care what anybody tells you, there is not one person being drawn by the Holy Spirit in this age of Pentecost and this age of Passover, none that is not in the lost tribes of the house of Israel. * Why? That's the only thing he told the disciples, "Don't go to the Gentiles. Go only to the lost tribes." Now, that age is coming to a close, by the way. The world calls it the time of the Gentiles. They're still foolish. They don't know it's the time of the Israelites. Hallelujah. Oh, that time This is grace at its highest level. * No man, according to Torah. Now, if we believe Torah, if we don't believe Torah See, do you know what helps me with my doctrines? When I'm establishing doctrines for this ministry, what helps me is Torah. Okay? If not, if you're getting your doctrines from the New Testament, and I hope they somebody clips this cuz I would be crucified for saying this. * If you get your Go ahead, you little sneaking lurker. Go ahead, now's the time to hit record. Okay? If your doctrines is coming from the New Testament, your doctrines are going to be so convoluted, you'll believe in a rapture, you'll believe uh in three gods, you'll believe I could go on and on and on. Whenever I asked the Father to speak to me about women in ministry, I struggled with that for many years. * I was die hard against women speaking in the church. Even though my grandmother, y'all know how much I adored her. If you don't believe I love truth, I turned against my own grandmother. I idolized the ground that woman walked on. She's the greatest preacher. She can out preach me. She's the best preacher I ever heard. * It broke her heart when somebody showed her my Facebook post from 10 years ago where I stood against women preachers. You know where I got that from? The New Testament. I got that from Paul. For the women to keep silent in the church. Bless God, THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS. That's it right under. There it is. Black and white, I would say. * When I came to Torah, I said, "Now let me go find this in Torah." The problem is I couldn't find it nowhere in Torah. And that's when I said, "You know what? We can't have the Bible talking both sides out of its mouth." Okay? We can't have Deborah over here leading Israel. And then we we can't have all that. Something's wrong. * Here's what's wrong. When you are determining doctrine, it must line up with Torah every time. It's the only way you can get correct doctrine. And when it comes to redemption, if you go read the New Testament only, you don't even know about the law of redemption. You're not qualified to preach on redemption because if you do, you'll only have about 10% of everything God ever created going to heaven. * Because you don't understand the law of redemption. The Jubilee not only allows for all men to BE REDEEMED, IT DEMANDS IT. At the end of every Jubilee cycle. What is to become of these people that Yeshua, the kinsman redeemer, never drew them? John 6:44, "No man can come unless I draw him." Well, what happens to those? What are they doomed to remain in bondage to the master sin forever? No, the law has a statute of limitations on sin and debt. * This is the law of grace. It is manifested and demanded by the law of Jubilee. So that even if you're not redeemed during those years of servitude, you must be set free at the Jubilee purely by an act of grace. Now, I want you to think about something. I'm done. But I want you to think about something. Imagine you're a servant in Israel. * You did a horrible thing. And and you did it 3 days before the Jubilee. And everybody in town thinks justice needs to be served on you. And 3 days later, ring-a-ling-a-ling, grace shows up and redeems all men. I wonder if we true See, people say I don't believe in grace. I'm preaching a a works-based religion. Maybe I might be the biggest grace preacher you've ever met. * Because I believe in grace by the gallons. Thank you for joining me tonight. We'll continue next week. God bless you. Good night, everybody. We love you. Shabbat Shalom. Good night. Thank you. Thank you.
