Episode #61: Instalment Of The Jewish Calendar Series: Passover W/Joshua Erickson

1
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:08,800
On this episode, I have Joshua
Erickson back on to continue our

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,000
series, on the Jewish calendar
and feast days.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,700
Again, I encourage everyone who
has not done.

4
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:16,300
So to go back and listen to the
first five episodes of this

5
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:19,400
series today.
Joshua, and I sit down and have

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,800
a conversation about Passover.
We go through the story of

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,000
Exodus.
Then we talked about how the

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,100
celebration is kept today.
And finish up by talking about

9
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:31,700
what we as Mormons can take away
from the events of Passover.

10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,700
That's next on this episode of
the Mormon Rena.

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Jade podcast.
Because of your generosity last

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,400
year, I was able to buy better
audio equipment and software.

13
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:47,600
I can't tell you how much it
meant to me.

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,700
That not only did you spend your
time here with me on the podcast

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,900
but also that you found enough
value.

16
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:56,400
In what I'm doing that you
donated the podcast upgraded

17
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,700
this year, I want to continue to
grow.

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,100
Now I want to add video to the
podcast continue to help you my

19
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:05,900
guess a myself connect better
through the show.

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,700
The other feature.
I'm working on for this podcast

21
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,800
is something I have to remain.
Vague about for now.

22
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,900
But what I can say is that it's
something that will help us

23
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:18,700
better connect as fundamentalist
and traditional LDS.

24
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,600
Folks, now to get that equipment
for the video content, I want to

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,800
do and to build the
infrastructure for the other

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,200
project with this podcast
donations would certainly be

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,200

resources.
Again, thank you for everything

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000
you do as well as for listening
to the podcast.

35
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,800
Here's the unfortunate truth
right now as fundamentalists and

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,200
traditional LDS folks, we can't
expect to have accurate history

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,900
told by others because true
history and scholarship is

38
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,699
problematic for certain people.
And organizations, we're going

39
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:11,600
to have to do this work
ourselves and to do that, we

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
will have to support each other
in this kind of work.

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Now, anybody who's anybody in
fundamentalist, circles knows

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,100
who drew Briny is, he is,
perhaps the most prolific, The

43
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,000
author within Mormon
fundamentalism.

44
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,300
Drew's newest project is
something.

45
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:30,000
I think all Mormons can benefit
from he is in the process of

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
creating an annotated version of
the Doctrine and Covenants.

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,300
Once you have a copy of this,
you will be able to compare

48
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:39,200
current sections with previous
versions.

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,500
And also what early LDS leaders
had to say about that particular

50
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:47,300
section as fundamentalist and
traditional LDS folks, we are

51
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,900
constantly trying to get back
into the minds of the early

52
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,600
Brethren this checked that
Drew's engaged in right now is

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,100
going to be the ultimate tool to
help us do that.

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,900
Now because this annotated
version of the Doctrine and

55
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,900
Covenants is such a massive
undertaking, Drew needs some

56
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:05,600
help from others, Drew's plan
for getting this annotated

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,000
version of the Doctrine and
Covenants out is through

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
crowdfunding the link for that
will be out April 4th if you

59
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,200
want more detail sooner, go to
Drew's Facebook page and

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,900
messaging from there and he'll
give you all the details further

61
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,900
on Saturday.
April 8, I'll be releasing an

62
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,900
episode that talks about this
project in Greater detail.

63
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,900
So please if you feel impressed
to do so and have the means I'd

64
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,100
humbly ask that you reach out to
Drew and support this project,

65
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:35,600
that will help Advance the
scholarship and true doctrine of

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:59,800
the restored gospel.
You're listening to the Mormon

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Renegade podcast.
Dude, we're back again.

68
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,800
Yeah, and I got a lot to talk
about today.

69
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,800
This is a little heavier than
Purim.

70
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,500
Yes, quite a bit heavier,
actually.

71
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:22,200
Yeah, for him is very light and
fun and fanciful.

72
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,600
Even and Passover is heavy
stuff.

73
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,000
This is Angel of Death stuff,
Blood on the door stuff plagues

74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,600
and and and Redemption.
And all I had a buddy who was

75
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:40,100
who's an Evangelical but also,
So a big fan of hard rock and

76
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,600
heavy metal and he always said
he was like that episode from

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,300
Egypt will Moses is there?
He's like that.

78
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:49,900
Straight metal.
I'm like, that's probably not a

79
00:04:49,907 --> 00:04:53,400
bad way of putting it, right?
I mean plagues and everything

80
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
else.
So I mean, the horror, the

81
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,600
horror of the whole, the whole
whole scene, leading up to

82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Passover, is just is horrendous.
Yeah, yeah.

83
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,600
Well, and yeah, and here's the
thing, anytime you enslave the

84
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,600
people, Going to go well for
you.

85
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

86
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:11,900
I guess I would say.
Amen to that.

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,300
Yep.
So tyranny tyranny, always

88
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:18,000
brings its its own reward.
Yep.

89
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:22,100
Yep.
So okay yeah so Passover is a

90
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:27,400
big deal, not only for Judaism
but for Christianity obviously

91
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:36,500
and Judaism and Christianity,
both kind of Point to various

92
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:43,100
passover's as the foundation or
the beginning of their religion.

93
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,400
Of course, Christianity looks at
the ancient Israelite Passover

94
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,700
as a type and Shadow, in many
ways of the Passover that

95
00:05:54,700 --> 00:06:00,000
occurred with Jesus as the Lamb
of God, right?

96
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:05,300
And so, it really is so much of
the Scriptures that the

97
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:11,900
symbolism in the scriptures that
go back to or point back to to

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
the Passover and The Exodus or I
suppose you could say the other

99
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
way around that.
So much of the the occurrences

100
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,300
that happened with the Passover
in Exodus actually point forward

101
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:27,500
to gospel things.
And also even as do all the

102
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:33,100
feasts point to Future realities
that are yet to be Yet to be

103
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,400
fulfilled.
So you know, you can correct me

104
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,000
if I'm wrong on this.
I'm used to be.

105
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:40,500
Yeah, I'm used to being wrong to
me.

106
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,900
I always looked at Passover and
found it to be unique in the

107
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:50,000
sense that it was both a
religious holiday, as well as

108
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,100
something that I think we could
kind of, almost equate to Fourth

109
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,100
of July on our end a little bit.
Right?

110
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,000
No, this is The Birth of a
Nation.

111
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,200
This is Independence Day.
Yeah, in a real way, this is

112
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,100
Independence Day for the nation.
In of Israel.

113
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:06,200
Yeah, it's kind of a, yeah, The
Birth of a Nation.

114
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200
I don't know how else to put it
is the way to put it.

115
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Yeah, they see.
Is when Israel, as I mean

116
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Israel.
Israel is, of course, the name,

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,600
the, the additional name given
to the new name, given to Jacob

118
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:28,400
right after he wrestles with the
angel and And then he's got his,

119
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800
his family, his twelve sons, and
he's got at least one daughter

120
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,000
that's mentioned and, you know,
they have children and stuff.

121
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:40,700
But by the time, by the time,
they're ready to leave all when

122
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:43,500
they go down into Egypt, that's
kind of a, it's kind of a proto

123
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,700
pro donation, right?
Little, it's the seed of a

124
00:07:46,707 --> 00:07:50,600
Nation, but by the time they
leave Egypt there, many

125
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,700
millions, strong.
And so it was miraculous on it.

126
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,900
you know, an enormous scale and
and I think I think also the,

127
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:04,000
the founders of this country
recognize that.

128
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,400
I mean, our first seal, wasn't
the eagle with the arrows are

129
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
fur.
Seal was Moses crossing the Red

130
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Sea with the children of Israel
and Pharaohs armies being

131
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,900
drowned.
Yeah and I didn't stick so yeah,

132
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,800
it was.
Yeah there there was this.

133
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:22,700
Okay I'll give a spoiler.
You're going to want to show up

134
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:24,900
to the Torah conference.
I'm talking a little bit about

135
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:31,200
this one when you're there but
yeah it was it was very much The

136
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,000
founder saw a lot that they
could equate to and whatever

137
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,200
your views are on blacks in the
priesthood.

138
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,200
I think, by now, we should all
agree slavery's, probably not a

139
00:08:41,208 --> 00:08:45,400
great thing, at least the
slavery that was practiced, you

140
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,800
know, for the Africans during
during Antebellum Period, oh

141
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,600
yeah, there's because it was,
it's not what it describes in

142
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,100
the Bible, there's no
justification for that.

143
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,800
And if you look, if you look at
the Bible, that was, that was

144
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,400
indentured servitude with an end
date, right?

145
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:02,400
There was an expiration date
there.

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,800
This was something different and
I've often looked at the Civil

147
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400
War and thought, yeah, we
probably paid a price, we

148
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600
definitely did write that was
that there was a little bit of

149
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,500
divine retribution there.
Yeah.

150
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,400
Amen.
To that.

151
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,200
So, okay, where to begin?
I guess.

152
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,000
I mean Exodus is a beginning.
Passover is a beginning as we've

153
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
been mentioning already.
So Exodus chapter 12.

154
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,300
This is this is a new before
that in To this, we have the

155
00:09:31,308 --> 00:09:36,700
story of, you know, they're
being a new pharaoh who didn't

156
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:41,600
know about Joseph and the
Egyptians are worried about this

157
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,100
growing population of
Israelites.

158
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,900
And you know, whether they're
how loyal they are to the

159
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:55,100
Egyptian crown and Pharaoh says,
to start drowning the male

160
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:59,600
children, right?
And of course we have the story

161
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,500
of the the Valiant midwives,
right?

162
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:09,400
Who lie to pharaoh and say oh we
we've tried to do your order but

163
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,900
the The Midwives are the the
Hebrew women, their Lively, and

164
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:16,500
they just give birth before we
show up.

165
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:22,500
And and and so fair wasn't
pleased with that.

166
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:25,900
But scripture says that God
blessed those midwives.

167
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:34,200
Well, Anyway pharaoh, of course
decides that if we can't control

168
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000
their population and you will
continue to try to control their

169
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,100
population, but we're also going
to enslave them in as a as a

170
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:46,700
means of controlling the
Israelite population.

171
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,700
And of course, then Moses comes
into the story and this is and

172
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,800
he's Moses typifies Christ in so
many ways in this story.

173
00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:02,800
I mean, the first bit, we get
about, Moses is well, going back

174
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,500
to the story of Jesus, right?
The we know the wise men come

175
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:13,400
and Herod is not happy that
there's going to be a new King,

176
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,100
right?
And so he sends soldiers to go

177
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:20,600
and kill all the babies, of
course, Joseph and Mary.

178
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,300
And Jesus, they flee to Egypt
for safety ironic.

179
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,300
Yeah.
And so here here we have again

180
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:39,000
actually A I would say Messiah,
type figure in Moses and he's

181
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,900
going to.
He actually is going to take

182
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:47,000
take the crown as essentially
from Pharaoh.

183
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:52,300
Pharaoh doesn't know that yet.
But, but yeah, there's a wicked

184
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,900
King who tries to kill the
babies to get rid of this

185
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:58,400
promised child that the promised
child actually finds refuge in

186
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,700
Egypt actually in Pharaoh's
house.

187
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:11,100
Right is where Moses is raised
and at some point, Moses, he's

188
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:18,200
raised as an Egyptian raised as
a prince, even, but he is out

189
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:24,200
observing the Israelites in
their bondage.

190
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,400
He sees in Egyptian taskmasters,
like seriously abusing this

191
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Israelite, man, and He secretly
or he thinks it secretly.

192
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,400
He defends the Israelite, man,
and ends up killing the Egyptian

193
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,700
and buries him in the sand and
hopes that no one will know

194
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:46,100
about it, but people did find
out about it, somehow right.

195
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:49,900
And Moses is afraid that word is
going to get out and we're does

196
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,500
get out.
And so he flees and he ends up

197
00:12:52,500 --> 00:13:00,900
in Midian, you know, which is
Midian was one of Abraham.

198
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Children from Katara.
So he ends up in Midian ends up

199
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:14,500
in the camp of Jethro who ends
up being his father in line and

200
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,500
the midianites They have they
have next to next to their next

201
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,500
to Jethro's, land is Mountain,
which they call the mountain of

202
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,200
the lord.
It's just, which was Sinai or

203
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,800
Horeb.
And we know the story.

204
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:37,500
Moses sees this T's tending
sheep and he sees this Burning

205
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:41,000
Bush was burning and not being
consumed.

206
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,700
And this is obviously a curious
thing and he goes there to see

207
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:49,300
what's going on.
And the Lord speaks to him

208
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:54,800
through or from the bush, right
from the fire and gives him a

209
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400
mission.
And Moses is not real happy

210
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,800
about that.
But God says you're the one.

211
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:04,800
And, you know, I'll give you
your brother, Aaron is there?

212
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,400
And he can help too.
So, there's so many things about

213
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,800
Moses story that I'm going,
fascinating, right?

214
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200
And some of it, I can relate to
you although I'll never be as

215
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,900
good. good as Moses, but this
idea of discovering your

216
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,800
parentage, right?
Discovering your heritage, and

217
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:32,800
then having that Heritage via
odds, with the worldly powers of

218
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,700
the time.
I think that's something we can

219
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:36,900
all relate to, at this point,
right?

220
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,500
As we discovered, we're of the
family of God.

221
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:43,400
There's a reason we don't fit in
with the rest of society.

222
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Also, I, you know, I remember
when I first became a Mormon,

223
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,500
when I joined the LDS church, I
had to leave my In town because

224
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,500
I was trying to quit drinking
and I was at that point where

225
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,500
the party found me, I didn't
have to go look for it anymore.

226
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,100
Yeah.
And so I had to remove myself

227
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:06,500
and I remove myself to an
itty-bitty town about 45 minutes

228
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,600
away where no one knew me or as
out in the country.

229
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,200
And so there's some parallels
there, right?

230
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,100
That's what you described.
There is, is the Passover story,

231
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:17,800
right?
Yeah.

232
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,100
In in microcosm, yeah.
Yeah.

233
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:23,500
Year Are removed and so there
was a lot of Egypt.

234
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:27,200
Yeah, there was a lot of Moses
story that that I could identify

235
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,400
with and I've often thought and
we'll get to it in a minute when

236
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,100
he has to go back and talk to
Pharaoh, must have been a

237
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:37,900
strange reunions and I can
sympathize a little bit with

238
00:15:37,908 --> 00:15:40,900
that cuz I'll ran into guys from
time to time when I'm back in

239
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:45,400
Idaho that I screwed around
with, and it's a little awkward,

240
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,500
right?
Because, you know, they're like

241
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,500
you want to go grab one and I'm
like, no, no.

242
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:54,800
I'm I'm not much of a partaker
anymore and I remember one guy

243
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,800
goes, would you become a Mormon?
Huh?

244
00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:00,600
I'm like.
Yep, that's hilarious.

245
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,700
So yeah, you can only imagine
what it must have been like, for

246
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:07,600
Moses to go through all of this
to be so high and be brought

247
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,200
low.
I think, I think the way Cecil

248
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,500
DeMille, painted it when when
Charlton Heston was crossing the

249
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,500
desert where, you know, it
turns, you know, men in the

250
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:22,100
Profit sort of a thing.
Yeah.

251
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,100
There's some, there's some good
movies I've been made.

252
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,600
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is actually a this

253
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,000
is a type of Christ as well.
I mean, really Moses

254
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,900
condescends.
Yeah, from Egyptian royalty to

255
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,400
identifying himself with the
slaves.

256
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,700
Yeah, I mean Hebrew.
He says yeah, he's yeah, I think

257
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,300
there's something that we can
all take away from Moses story.

258
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,800
There's something there.
It's such an intrical story of

259
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,400
just not Just not the nation of
Israel, not just the Jewish

260
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,600
people not just Mormons or
anybody else.

261
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200
I think there's something very
intrinsic there.

262
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Yeah.
That that we can take from.

263
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:03,300
Yeah.
I mean that's why it's I mean,

264
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:08,300
you know, the Bible is the
oldest, the oldest book in the

265
00:17:08,308 --> 00:17:11,000
world that still read, you know,
then the most widely read

266
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,900
ancient book and there's a
reason for that.

267
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,700
Yeah, these stories are
everyone's story, right?

268
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:19,700
And they just and the stories
keep unfolding generation after

269
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,300
generation.
Yeah, and always will because

270
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:26,900
there's just truth there that
has to do with man's struggle.

271
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Yeah.
For freedom.

272
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,100
And for salvation.
Yeah.

273
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:34,600
And it's made an impression to
the point that it's in the

274
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,700
psyche of every human, I think.
Yeah, right.

275
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,600
Yeah, I had a good friend who
was an atheist named Jason and

276
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,300
he once said, so why doesn't God
continue to talk out of burning

277
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:46,900
bushes?
I said, because if anyone who

278
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,400
was religious, saw burning bush,
we all know we're going the

279
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,800
other direction because nothing
It's coming out the bat so

280
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,500
amazing.
Well we won't go over too much

281
00:17:58,500 --> 00:17:59,800
of the other the story, you
know.

282
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:06,700
But of course you know, Moses
asks for pharaoh to let them go

283
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:10,900
Vera, says no, then there's
plague and we just go back and

284
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,700
forth Affair saying, okay, okay
call it off and then another

285
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:20,300
plague comes along right?
10 of them culminating in the

286
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:25,000
final The final two plagues, our
darkness and then death, the

287
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,100
slaying of the firstborns.
Yeah.

288
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:32,600
And this brings us to Exodus
chapter 12, which is so all that

289
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000
other stuff was the first part
of Exodus.

290
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:39,300
But in Exodus chapter 12, I'll
read here.

291
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,400
The Lord spake unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt

292
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,300
saying this month shall be unto
you the beginning of months.

293
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,600
It shall be to you the first
month of the year to you.

294
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:56,300
So so yeah, this is really a
beginning, this not only of

295
00:18:56,300 --> 00:19:00,100
their calendar which it was this
is, of course, passover's in the

296
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:06,100
spring and it actually used to
be much more widespread this

297
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:10,600
idea of New Year's being in the
spring, are a Roman Calendar has

298
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,600
switched it to Winter January
but it used to be in the spring

299
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,600
and this is this is why April
1st is April, April Fool's Day.

300
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:26,500
Because there was a propaganda
propaganda.

301
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:32,700
What's the word I'm looking for?
Push to try to get people to

302
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:35,300
stop celebrating New Year in the
spring?

303
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,700
Really?
Yeah and if you did then you

304
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,200
were called faithful fool.
So really?

305
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,700
I didn't know that.
That's fascinating.

306
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:46,800
Yeah.
So anyway so yeah this is going

307
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,900
to be the beginning.
Not only of the the calendar but

308
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:53,400
also the Inning of the nation.
Like we, like we mentioned

309
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,400
already.
Now, this goes actually

310
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:02,100
essentially goes way way back
before that because if you go to

311
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:12,000
Exodus 12, 43, 40 and 41.
Now, this is this is after

312
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
they're like the day that
they're leaving.

313
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:21,200
Which was, by the way, on the
15th of the month.

314
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,200
So I'll back up just a little.
So beginning of chapter 12, he

315
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,700
says, this is going to be the
beginning of the month.

316
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,700
This is basically going to be
the new year here.

317
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,400
So the first day of the first
month is going to be the new

318
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600
year.
And then later on, we'll talk

319
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,500
about it.
A little more on the tenth day

320
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,900
of this month.
They were supposed to pick out

321
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:49,300
Lamb, excuse me, or goat to be
the Passover and then, and then

322
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,200
the 15th starting on the 15th
and for seven days they're going

323
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,900
to have the Feast of unleavened
bread.

324
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,900
So, and this, this timing of the
first month actually is, there's

325
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:04,800
an interesting mirror with the
seventh month.

326
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
We talked about some of the
festival's of the seventh month,

327
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,200
but on the seventh month, on the
1st of the month is trumpets,

328
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:17,500
And then, on the 10th is Yom
Kippur and then on the 15th for

329
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:20,800
seven days is the Feast of
Tabernacles.

330
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,200
So, in the first month, we have
new year on the 10th, we select

331
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,700
the Lamb on the 15th.
And for a week, we have Festival

332
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:32,400
of unleavened bread.
And then in the 7th year month,

333
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,500
we have the first is Feast of
trumpets or but also called Rosh

334
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:38,900
Hashanah.
So the head of the year.

335
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:40,700
It's a kind of a new year as
well.

336
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:46,700
And Then we have the day of
atonement on the 10th and then

337
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,700
Tabernacles.
And there's, there's this kind

338
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:56,100
of symmetry between the first
and the seventh month for good

339
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:01,100
reasons, there's actually a real
connection between between

340
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,800
those.
So, of course, Passover and a is

341
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:11,100
when we left Egypt.
But but the that's like when the

342
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:15,200
when Redemption was completed
but the Redemption began.

343
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,200
This is a little bit of Jewish
tradition.

344
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:22,800
The Redemption began in the
seventh month on Rosh Hashanah

345
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:25,300
where the Feast of trumpets
that's like, that's when the

346
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:28,600
plagues began.
So, so the Jersey is like, for

347
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,300
six months.
Often, you know, there'd be a

348
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,500
few days or weeks of plague and
then there would be a little

349
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,900
break.
And then another, you know, days

350
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:38,100
or weeks of plague, you know,
for ten plagues.

351
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,500
And then by the time it comes to
Passover, which is the 14th and

352
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,200
then 15 is the day of unleavened
bread.

353
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:48,900
The first day of unleavened
bread, then that's when our

354
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,600
Redemption is complete and we
actually have freedom.

355
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,700
So okay, all that though, is to
say that this, this wasn't

356
00:22:55,700 --> 00:23:00,100
actually, this is a beginning,
but the story of Passover

357
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:03,300
actually begins centuries before
that.

358
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:09,300
So in chapter 12, verse 40,
says, now the sojourning of the

359
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:13,100
children of Israel who dwelled
in Egypt.

360
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,900
And there's actually a
corruption in the text there.

361
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800
It should say, who dwelt in,
Canaan and Egypt.

362
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:28,000
That's what the the Septuagint,
and some older versions.

363
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,200
And in, in the New Testament
talks about that too.

364
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,800
So anyway, sojourning of the
children of Israel who dwelt in

365
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:40,000
Canaan and Egypt was 430 years
and it came to pass at the end

366
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,800
of the 430 years.
And even the selfsame day, it

367
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,900
came to pass.
That all the hosts of the Lord,

368
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:53,400
went out from the land of Egypt.
Mmm, so hosts of the Lord, this

369
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,000
is, of course, like the Hebrew,
there is the armies of the Lord.

370
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400
So this is the Lord's army is
right.

371
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:05,000
So, so ought to the day 430
years ago to the day.

372
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,700
Now, what is the day?
They're talking about even the

373
00:24:07,708 --> 00:24:15,000
selfsame day, that is the day.
That the Lord commanded Abraham

374
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,600
to go to Canaan.
And where the God said, I will

375
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,400
give you this land.
So that's, you know, that goes

376
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,200
that goes back to Genesis.
Yeah.

377
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:35,700
Well, Okay, so Genesis 12.
Verse 1.

378
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:42,400
Now Jehovah had said unto
Abraham, get the out of thy

379
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,000
country and from thy Kindred,
and from thy, Father's House

380
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,800
unto a land that I will show
thee and I will make of thee a

381
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,600
great nation, and I will bless
thee, and make thy name, great.

382
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:57,300
And thou shalt be a blessing and
I will bless them that bless

383
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:00,800
thee and curse them that curse
thee and in thee, shall all the

384
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,900
families of the earth be
blessed.

385
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:08,600
Okay, so there it is and and
that that promise was repeated

386
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,600
to Abraham a few times.
But it's interesting because the

387
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,500
story of Abraham is actually a
microcosm of the Passover again

388
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:24,900
because he Abraham starts out in
Canaan.

389
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:31,700
And where does Israel start?
They start out in Canaan as well

390
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:38,300
and then at some Point Abraham
goes to Egypt and says the

391
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:40,300
problem was, there was a famine,
right?

392
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:45,000
The famine, so Abraham goes to
Egypt and he stays there for a

393
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,500
little bit and eventually,
there's that, there's that

394
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:54,700
episode with Pharaoh wanting his
wife, right?

395
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:59,900
And he ends up, Abraham, Abraham
ends up rich, because of that

396
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:04,500
mess up there and have a little
white lie, that was told She's

397
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:10,600
my sister and then Abraham
leaves and goes back to Canaan.

398
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,100
Okay.
And this is kind of the story of

399
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:17,300
Israel as well, right?
Jacob, and his twelve sons are

400
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:19,100
in Canaan.
There's a famine.

401
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,200
They go down to Egypt and
they're there for a little

402
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,600
while, and eventually they come
out with great riches.

403
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:29,600
Yeah, and go back to eventually
go back to Canaan.

404
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:33,400
And and the Israelites when they
go back to Canaan, then they

405
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:39,200
drive out the inhabitants.
Now the story for Abraham is he

406
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,800
goes down, there's a famine, he
goes to Egypt, comes out with

407
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,500
great riches back and then he
drives out some of the

408
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:49,200
inhabitants to he has Wars with.
Yep.

409
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,400
Some of the, the kings around
Sodom and Gomorrah.

410
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800
And then of course, Sodom and
Gomorrah are and the other

411
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,700
cities of the plain are
Seriously destroyed.

412
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,300
But there's this this cleansing
of the land for Abraham's sake.

413
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,200
Well, you could say for
Abraham's sake.

414
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,900
So there's this, this mirror
there between the father, whose

415
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:16,800
Abraham and his his posterity,
which Israel, you know, the the

416
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,000
other thing that I find
fascinating for both Moses and

417
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,700
Abraham.
Is this idea of get out of the

418
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:29,400
country.
Leave, I'm chopping you off to

419
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,400
do something different.
Yeah.

420
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,200
What you're in now is corrupt,
you need to be removed if you

421
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,000
seek righteousness.
And I think that there is

422
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,200
something there that, that, that
I think we all have to wrestle

423
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,000
with, which is looking at her
current circumstance, and go, is

424
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,300
it good?
Or is it bad?

425
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Well, if it's bad, if it's
corrupt, And you got to, you got

426
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,500
to leave, right?
And and I find that's corrupt in

427
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:00,300
and irreparable and irreparable.
It's time to leave.

428
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:03,600
That's right, right.
It's time to pack up and move

429
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:10,100
and to me that is does something
that takes strength on the part

430
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:12,300
of the person, I understand
God's commanding it.

431
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:17,400
But you're not going to get that
out of somebody who's just super

432
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,900
who's just week or or think for
themselves or something like

433
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:29,200
that, takes a little bit of Guts
right, for lack of a better

434
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,100
term.
I remember being 20 for having

435
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,500
four kids the night before I
leave for Maryland.

436
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,200
I'm laying in my house, a nice
house, comfortable house and

437
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,500
Western Idaho, looking up, the
ceiling with everything packed

438
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,100
up thinking.
What the hell am I doing?

439
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,700
I know crazy, right?
And so I think there's something

440
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:53,300
here where the Lord is saying,
even if it's not a physical

441
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:57,800
move, maybe it's a spiritual.
Maybe the, the current system,

442
00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:00,300
you know, you're in or the
current system, you have a

443
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:03,800
spouse or the current system you
have developed for yourself.

444
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,600
Isn't working, doesn't seem good
is irreparable.

445
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:10,300
It's time to move.
Yeah, yeah, especially when

446
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:12,000
yeah.
And you'll know that to right?

447
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,500
Yep.
Oh, he makes it.

448
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:17,900
He makes it very clear and it's
it's damaging to your soul.

449
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,100
Yep.
To know.

450
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,400
That you are in a bad place and
doing the wrong things and to do

451
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,600
it anyway.
Yep.

452
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,100
Yep.
Because I think we all have that

453
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,200
little bit of Light of Christ in
this that calls to us and says

454
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,000
yeah you better go this is not
the place for you.

455
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,600
I reminded of the kind of the
contrast between Abram and his

456
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,700
father.
Terah, right?

457
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,900
Tara.
I mean there's not a lot in

458
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:50,200
Genesis about Tara but in some
of the midrash stories

459
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,600
extra-biblical Or is Tara, is an
idolater.

460
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,200
There's my favorite story is
Abrams, you know a young man and

461
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,000
he's trying to figure out he
wants.

462
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:08,000
He wants to be God's friend, he
wants to know, God, he wants to

463
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,900
serve God.
He wants to find out who the

464
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:15,000
real God is and serve the Living
God and his father, Terah has a

465
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:22,100
room full of idols and At some
point he comes to realize that

466
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600
like, these are, these are all
just man-made things, these are

467
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,700
made by human hands, so this
definitely can't.

468
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:33,700
These definitely can't be gods.
And so he he decides he's going

469
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:38,400
to just chop up all the idols in
his father's little Idol room,

470
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,200
whatever that's called.
And he takes a hatchet to all

471
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,600
the idols.
There's just like I don't know

472
00:30:43,608 --> 00:30:48,000
dozens and dozens of them chops
them all up and then except for

473
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:52,100
except for the biggest one.
And he like puts the acts in the

474
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:59,200
biggest Idols hands.
And Tara comes home and he's

475
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,300
like, goes, you know, goes to
pray or whatever I do, make his

476
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:04,700
offering him.
Everything is just in splinters

477
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:07,600
you know all the all these Idols
are just in splinters and

478
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,900
shattered Stone and whatever and
Abraham or Abram.

479
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,400
What's going on?
What you know what's the meaning

480
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:19,900
of this and Abram says well I
you know, I brought in food To

481
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:24,700
offer to your idols.
And when I, when I laid the

482
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:30,500
plate of food down, all of the
little gods, they like start to

483
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:34,700
reach out to grab it before.
The big God was able to take the

484
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:38,500
food and he got mad and he
chopped up all the other ones

485
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:40,800
and Tears.
Like that's ridiculous.

486
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,600
Course he can't do that.
He's just he's just he's just

487
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,700
he's just wood or stone or
whatever and and earring says

488
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:49,400
well then why are why are we
worried?

489
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,900
We were Worshipping these, what
are we doing?

490
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
But but Tara was no Tara was and
I'm a servant of nimrod.

491
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

492
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:58,600
He was at part of nimrods
kingdom and just going along

493
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,700
with With the society and the
government and the religion of

494
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,600
his time and was a coward,
really.

495
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,000
And knew that this was not
right, but just kept his head

496
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,500
down, you know, and did what was
expected and didn't rock the

497
00:32:15,508 --> 00:32:16,400
boat.
So to speak.

498
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,600
Well, and I think this speaks to
where we get ourselves how we

499
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,500
get ourselves into trouble,
right?

500
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:24,900
As I think that it's one of
those things where it's like,

501
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,600
you think about leaving a
society.

502
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,900
So to speak or in your like,
well, gosh, I Got my job and

503
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:37,300
it's a cushy job and I'm paid
well and you got this house and

504
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:40,300
if I'm if I'm not making Idols,
what am I gonna do?

505
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,900
Right?
And so I'm good at it.

506
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:46,900
Yeah and so I think, I think
this is one of those things

507
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:50,000
where it really points to us.
You better stand on principle at

508
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,500
some point because if you have
to make justifications for well,

509
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:59,300
Lord, you didn't expect me to
like just leave all that.

510
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:02,900
Did you get?
Well, yeah, he kind of does kind

511
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:09,200
of does kind of does, so he gets
to the point where there's going

512
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,400
to be the final plague, the the
death of the firstborn.

513
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:20,500
And so Jehovah tells Moses, this
is what we're going to do, this

514
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:26,500
is going to be, this is going to
be the destruction of Egypt and

515
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:30,300
the Redemption of Israel and
everyone anyone who wants to be

516
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:33,500
Part of Israel to.
And that, that was not, by the

517
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:38,300
way, limited to the literal
descendants of Jacob only.

518
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:42,500
But when, when Israel left it
actually specifically, says that

519
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:45,200
there was a mixed multitude of
people.

520
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,300
Hmm.
Gentiles Galore who who came

521
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:55,000
along who were converted to the
worship of the Living God, you

522
00:33:55,008 --> 00:33:57,400
know, by all the things that
they had seen no doubt.

523
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,900
But God said basically, Anyone
who anyone who wants to survive

524
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:06,000
this last plague.
This is what you do.

525
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,500
You take your lamb, choose it on
the 10th day on the 14th day.

526
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:15,900
Everyone together is going to
kill the Passover, by the way

527
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:20,500
Passover, it's just to get a
little terminology here.

528
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:24,400
A lot of times in our everyday
speech, when we're talking about

529
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,100
Passover we get the term
Passover confused with the Feast

530
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,400
of unleavened bread and
sometimes we'll say that.

531
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,100
Silver and the Feast of
unleavened bread are the same

532
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:37,100
thing.
There are actually two

533
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,800
different, but related things,
the Feast of unleavened bread is

534
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,699
the thing that happens for seven
days where they eat matzo only,

535
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:51,699
which is the unleavened bread
Passover is also not technically

536
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:57,400
not a day, Passover is the Lamb.
Okay?

537
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,900
And so when you read the
scripture that says Kill the

538
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:06,000
Passover on the 14th day.
So the Passover is the animal.

539
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,500
That's the name of the animal
that is killed on the 14th and

540
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:14,100
then is eaten with unleavened
bread and bitter herbs on the

541
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:16,000
evening of the 15th.
Right?

542
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:20,000
As as Nightfall comes after the
14th, then everyone's supposed

543
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,200
to be inside the blood is put on
the doorpost.

544
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,700
Right?
And there's just the the

545
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:31,800
symbolism is so rich with the
Lamb of God and, you know,

546
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,700
applying the blood to the door
of the house and basically

547
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:41,500
salvation is inside the house.
That's like you through through

548
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,100
the blood that you have to go
enter through the door.

549
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:49,800
You have to enter through the
blood of the Lamb to be in in

550
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,700
the house of Israel,
essentially, right over the

551
00:35:51,707 --> 00:35:54,700
houses of his right in order to
be spared.

552
00:35:56,300 --> 00:36:01,200
So the angel death comes and
says there's you know there's

553
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,400
not a there's not a house that
isn't affected because there's

554
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:08,600
firstborns all over the place,
right?

555
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:21,100
And so, So again, I mean, I want
to kind of give you the broad

556
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:27,300
overview, I guess here.
They finally Pharaoh says, you

557
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:30,400
have to leave, like, I've been
wanting to keep you but you have

558
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,900
to leave actually.
So they gather bother other

559
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:34,700
people.
All their flocks, they

560
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:39,800
scriptures say to borrow gold
and jewels from their Egyptian,

561
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,200
neighbors, their Egyptian,
neighbors are happy to give them

562
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:47,600
gold and jewels and treasure.
I mean in In reality.

563
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,300
It's not of course Israel leaves
with all this stuff.

564
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:52,900
I would not call that theft
though.

565
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:58,500
I think that's just back payment
for all of the years of slavery,

566
00:36:58,500 --> 00:36:59,100
right?
Yeah.

567
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:03,100
So anyway, they leave with all
of that and then and then

568
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:07,500
Pharaoh, hardened his heart
again, right?

569
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:13,900
And changes his mind and gets
assembles what few chariots he

570
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:17,100
has left because I mean, the
animals have been plagued.

571
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:22,000
As well but gathers up what
chariots he can and chases him

572
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,800
down.
This is a, they Israelites have

573
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,700
had a few days, Head Start and
they there at the Red Sea,

574
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,800
right?
And Pharaoh meets them there.

575
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,500
And of course, the Army is held
back by the pillar of fire until

576
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:40,000
the sea splits, the Red Sea
splits, and they go across and

577
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,400
this.
So the on the first day of

578
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,900
unleavened bread is when they
actually leave Egypt, But then

579
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:52,700
Pharaoh chases them and then on
the seventh day of unleavened

580
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:59,700
bread, which if you include
Passover, which is kind of, you

581
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:02,900
know, the it's Passover like the
day to prepare for the Feast of

582
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:06,200
unleavened bread.
So it's the eighth day since

583
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,500
Passover, and then that's when
they go through the Red Sea.

584
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,700
So, that's on the and, you know,
the scriptures say that the

585
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:17,500
first and last day of unleavened
bread are special, Sabbath's

586
00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:22,600
Where we there's supposed to be
a holy convocation, says, or a

587
00:38:22,607 --> 00:38:28,100
solemn assembly.
And so on that, on that seventh

588
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:32,900
day is when they passed through
the Red Sea and the armies of

589
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:36,600
fairer destroyed.
And this goes, I was going to

590
00:38:36,607 --> 00:38:38,700
point.
I mean, this is there's so many

591
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:43,400
symbolic things, but one of them
that is often kind of Forgotten

592
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:49,100
is the fact that like the
Egyptians represent something

593
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,100
and the Egyptians really, they
represent the people in your

594
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:56,200
life who To keep you in Egypt,
right?

595
00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:01,500
And you mentioned this area,
like when you try to leave,

596
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:04,600
there will be, there will be
people who want to pull, you

597
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,000
back into those old habits.
Yep.

598
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,200
Into that bondage of whatever
sort it is, you know, spiritual

599
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,200
or, you know, bondage or
addictions, or bad

600
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,500
relationships, our sins of all
sorts.

601
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:24,200
But you know, that's that's a
real part of the story too.

602
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,300
So you know there's a lot of
symbolism just in that little

603
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:31,800
bit we went through or things
that we can take away obviously

604
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,700
you know the blood of the Lamb
is a big one but there's little

605
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:41,300
ones to that pop out at you when
you talk about having, you know

606
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:47,400
killing the Lambs, these are
slaves, okay, that are there the

607
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:53,100
the Israelites that time.
They're huddled together close.

608
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,100
We know that because of some
things you know oral tradition

609
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,800
what not the that it wasn't like
the slaves were allowed to

610
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,000
spread out.
They want you know the Egyptians

611
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,300
wanted them in one place so they
could have their eye on Goshen

612
00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:12,600
was a huge one.
They don't have room for

613
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,900
livestock.
So if they have a lamb that

614
00:40:15,900 --> 00:40:22,500
lamb, it's precious.
It's almost a pet now, I want, I

615
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:26,300
want to paint this picture
because the Lord's trying to

616
00:40:26,308 --> 00:40:30,300
teach something here.
This is an animal that your kids

617
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:34,200
have played with this is an
animal that has probably become

618
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,900
kind of like a dog, right?
I love my dog.

619
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:40,700
When all when everything else is
down, my dog is always there.

620
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:44,400
Right, always happy to see me,
right?

621
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,400
And then you're going to kill
that lamb.

622
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,500
Yeah.
You're going to see your father

623
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:51,300
kill.
That way.

624
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:54,800
I had to put a dog down just
over a year ago that we had for

625
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,400
13 years about you bawled like a
baby.

626
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,000
I bawled like a little girl.
I have no other way to say it.

627
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000
I that tore me up worse than I
thought it would now you it's

628
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,900
surprising.
It is surprised you're faced

629
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,300
with that.
Yeah.

630
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:09,900
Yeah.
And motion involved.

631
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:12,500
Yeah.
And now all the sudden it takes

632
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:16,600
on a different feel when you
realized These people had that

633
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,100
animal that animal was was kind
of a part of the family at that

634
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,900
point.
And then to watch.

635
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:27,400
Your father, or maybe you have
to go do it.

636
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,700
There's some symbolism there
likewise with with the gold and

637
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,300
the silver, and The Jewels are
taken out of Egypt.

638
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:40,500
I think we can draw from that.
This idea of there's things that

639
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:45,300
we can take out of the world
that aren't inherently evil, and

640
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:47,400
then use them for the good use.
Yeah.

641
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:54,100
Now the same gold that was used
to, that was taken from the

642
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,800
Options.
I shouldn't say taken, but

643
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,500
because from oral tradition that
I've read and I could be wrong,

644
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:02,100
Joshua, the Egyptians are almost
thrown in Adam right now, take

645
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:04,600
it and go get you to get, get
out, you know, here's all your

646
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,400
goals, whatever you need, just
go.

647
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,200
So they're throwing it out that
same gold.

648
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:15,800
Can be used to put the trim
around the Tabernacle.

649
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,200
Yep.
On the Ark of the Covenant and

650
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,000
it can also be used to make a
golden calf.

651
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:20,900
That's right.
That's good.

652
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:26,600
So there's some symbolism there.
The other is Is later on in the

653
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,600
in the story of the Israelites
when they get to Canaan and they

654
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,000
got to go to war and I never
thought about this to my buddy

655
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,300
bride up.
He's like where do you think

656
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,800
they got the weapons for war?
And I'm like, I don't know.

657
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,800
He's like, they were picking him
up off the seashore from the

658
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,000
Egyptians washing up.
Yeah, I've got, that may be so I

659
00:42:44,008 --> 00:42:47,700
like that.
And he's so there the symbolism

660
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:50,600
here is Rich and deep and
there's so much we can take away

661
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,200
from this.
If we spend some time really

662
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,900
reading the story.
And not just reading it but

663
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:58,400
immersing ourselves in it and
thinking about it.

664
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:04,100
Yeah, yeah, beautiful stuff.
I mean, the story of Passover in

665
00:43:04,107 --> 00:43:10,600
The Exodus just has so many
layers and they just pile up on

666
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,400
top of one another.
It's almost hard to like we're

667
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,200
not we're just going to scratch
the surface.

668
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,400
You have this little meeting
here.

669
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:20,400
Yep.
So I do want to now we've kind

670
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,800
of laid the groundwork and and
you know most people are kind of

671
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,800
familiar.
With the, I think the basics of

672
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,100
the story but thanks Charlton,
Heston.

673
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:39,100
I know, I think Mormons can have
kind of a special appreciation

674
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:45,300
of the symbolic, meaning of this
story because of our kind of

675
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:51,300
view of the Plan of Salvation.
So I'm gonna, I'm going to lay

676
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:54,900
this out, just in brief but now
there's all Kinds of details

677
00:43:54,900 --> 00:44:01,100
that we could pick out there.
So The story as I mentioned,

678
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:03,200
kind of you starts out with
Abraham.

679
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:06,600
And he is the father of the
faithful.

680
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,200
That's more of a Rams names.
And and then he has a son, and

681
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,500
he has a son so it's Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob.

682
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:17,600
And these are the three
Patriarchs, okay?

683
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,500
And and Jacob, Jacob actually
becomes the people of Israel,

684
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:29,700
okay?
So then then when we're talking

685
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:35,400
about the, the Mormon idea of
the plant, Salvation, it kind of

686
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:42,000
it all starts with these three
starts with our, father starts

687
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,500
with Father Son and Holy Ghost.
Okay.

688
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:49,400
And and of course, the middle
one is the one that's

689
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,400
sacrificed.
Right.

690
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:52,400
That's right with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.

691
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,300
That's that is the case as well.
And also in this is a, you know,

692
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:01,200
kind of a uniquely Mormon thing.
Is that the story story of The

693
00:45:01,207 --> 00:45:04,100
Plan of Salvation doesn't start
on Earth it actually starts It's

694
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:05,800
in heaven.
Mmkay.

695
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:12,900
So by the story of Israel starts
in Canaan, which is the promised

696
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:16,300
land, which is symbolic of
heaven, right?

697
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:18,300
Okay.
And then so we all start in

698
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:21,100
Israel starts in the promised
land.

699
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:26,200
And then they go down to Egypt,
which is the world, right?

700
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,400
And everything's good at first
light and when we come to the

701
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,200
Earth, everything is good at
first because we're innocent and

702
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,100
we're not accountable.
But at some point Wait, slave.

703
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:38,500
No sin enters in.
Right?

704
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:40,400
The, the bondage of sin, I will
say.

705
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:45,600
And then there's all the all
that goes along with that, and

706
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:50,600
and then that eventually,
there's a savior provided.

707
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:56,400
And then on, you know, we, you
know, there's a savior provided

708
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,900
in the Passover story.
That was the lamb, okay?

709
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,600
We Leave the World Behind, we
leave the Egyptians behind, they

710
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:04,800
don't.
Want us to leave.

711
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:10,000
They want to keep us in sin.
We come to, you know, but we but

712
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:15,800
we put our faith in the savior
in the lamb and then we come to

713
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,500
this point where we've had, we
have faith.

714
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:25,000
So we we put the blood on our
house and we repent, you know we

715
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,700
like we're not going to build up
Egypt anymore.

716
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,100
We're going to do what God wants
us to do.

717
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:33,200
That's repentance, right, okay?
And we're going to go out into

718
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,900
the wilderness.
Earnest and then that prepares

719
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:40,400
us for baptism and that is the
that is the Red Sea, right?

720
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,700
Israel.
The entire as a nation as a

721
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:46,700
witch in the scriptures is often
referred to as a as a person

722
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:52,400
like Israel as a body, right is
sometimes referred to as God's

723
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,800
son, sometimes referred to as
God's servant sometimes as God's

724
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,400
wife.
I just depending on the metaphor

725
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,500
that's being used but but as a
corporate body, we go underneath

726
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:08,600
the water, right?
And this is on the, on the

727
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:13,800
eighth day to, hmm, right?
So the number eight is is

728
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,900
connected to the baptism, right?
Okay.

729
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:23,900
In lots of stories, 8 Dare die,
barges and eight people on NOAA

730
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:28,600
ship and and so on.
So we go under the, we go into

731
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,200
the water and then there's a
pillar of fire that guides Us

732
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,400
in.
This is the Holy Ghost Train,

733
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:36,700
and we go out into the
Wilderness and, and there's a

734
00:47:36,707 --> 00:47:41,500
period of purification, right?
So after after we are, baptized

735
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:45,200
the scriptures would refer to
this, as like justification.

736
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,400
But then there's a period of
sanctification where we become

737
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,500
holy, now, in the story of
Israel, it's the the old

738
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:56,700
generation dying off bit by bit
and being replaced by the The

739
00:47:56,707 --> 00:48:02,300
new generation who then is
finally worthy to enter Heaven.

740
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:09,200
Again, enter the promised land
and so there's so there's this

741
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:13,300
this cool thing right?
Where we start in heaven, we

742
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:17,700
descend to Earth, go through all
these trials and plagues and and

743
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:20,500
eventually escaped and there's
baptism and then there's all

744
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:23,000
this sanctification and then
ultimately we want we end up

745
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,200
back in the same place where we
began and the other cool thing

746
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,100
about it.
Is that I mentioned this earlier

747
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:35,400
is that Abraham who is symbolic
of the Father Here, Right

748
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,600
earlier in the story, he
actually did all that stuff

749
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,800
first before, right?
Abraham, does this stuff?

750
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,500
Yeah.
Starts out in, Canaan goes down

751
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:47,900
to Egypt, and returns to Canaan
and goes through all the

752
00:48:47,900 --> 00:48:52,100
struggles and things, and then
his descendants make the same

753
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:55,600
new Trace in, Trace his
footsteps.

754
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:01,200
So to speak.
So, there's a lot of, there's a

755
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,600
lot of details that could be
pulled out there.

756
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,600
Yeah.
And what I find funny is that

757
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:10,000
this story continues to cycle
through in Time After Time,

758
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:13,100
right?
You can see it in this story

759
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:17,800
that we're talking about.
You can see it in in the the

760
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,800
colonists that were here for
Religious Freedom, right?

761
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,800
We're going to break away, we're
going to go do something

762
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,800
different and then you see it
again with with You know, in

763
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,800
three or four generations after
them where we're breaking from

764
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,700
England and then let's make it
really Mormon.

765
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,900
Now Brigham's, going to take the
Saints out of the United States

766
00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:42,400
and break away again, Mormon
Moses, right?

767
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,900
Exactly.
And so this story can I would

768
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:48,900
imagine that we're going to see
another episode of this only.

769
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:50,800
Maybe not so physical.
Right?

770
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,200
Maybe now it's a matter of
spiritually, coming out of

771
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,600
Egypt.
Oh yeah, right.

772
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,400
Whatever your Egyptian.
Chipped is there's this idea now

773
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,200
of coming out of it, maybe it's
shutting off the social media.

774
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:10,400
Maybe it's, you know, just
finding a way to leave Egypt or

775
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:20,800
Babylon behind you and go
forward. yeah, I mean yeah, I

776
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:23,500
have a lot of thoughts going
through my mind but yeah it's

777
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:30,600
part of it is Part of it is the
the truth of knowing what it is

778
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,000
you're supporting.
I mean, in one sense.

779
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,300
They were slaves.
Yes.

780
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,500
Okay.
And so I don't know how much,

781
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,900
you know, we can't.
We can't necessarily blame

782
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:49,300
individual Israelites for that,
but in another sense like we

783
00:50:49,300 --> 00:50:51,900
sell ourselves.
Yeah, into slavery, right?

784
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:53,300
Yeah.
It's like okay.

785
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:56,200
We'll go along with that.
And and before, you know, it,

786
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,600
you're you're actually building
up Egypt.

787
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,200
Yes, yeah.
And, and I think part of the

788
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,500
plagues part of the plagues is
to get pharaohs attention, but

789
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:12,000
part of it's probably to get the
Attention to be like hey you see

790
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,300
this beautiful Nile near that
you they probably made proud.

791
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:19,600
Maybe they'll of the Nile.
They took pride in this awesome

792
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,500
river.
That was well it's that was in

793
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:23,800
their country at least The Giver
of Life.

794
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:24,900
Yeah.
Through there right.

795
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:28,500
I mean you're probably drawn
your water from there and Wells

796
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:30,700
associated with it.
Here it is.

797
00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:32,100
Yeah I'm going to turn it to
blood.

798
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,500
All the fish are going to die.
It's going to stink and frogs

799
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:39,600
are going to come out and all
the things that Some point all

800
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,000
the things that you thought,
maybe we were kind of cool or

801
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,700
nice about Egypt and they did
think, Egypt was nice, they

802
00:51:45,900 --> 00:51:48,900
complain to Moses over and over.
Let's go back.

803
00:51:49,700 --> 00:51:54,600
You know, in Egypt, we had
cucumbers and leeks to eat, you

804
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:59,900
know, and at least, at least we
were, at least, at least the

805
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:04,300
Egyptians fed us.
It's like, wow, you would you

806
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:05,600
want?
I mean, it's selling your

807
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,100
Birthright for a mess of
pottage, you know.

808
00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:09,600
Yep.
Like you would Trade your

809
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,100
freedom for some cucumbers.
Well, and I think it's actually

810
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:16,300
deeper than that.
So I've I've thought about this

811
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:19,200
a little bit.
Once when, when we adopted our

812
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,600
twins we had to become foster
parents first.

813
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,000
Yeah, which was just asinine,
right?

814
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,100
I have four kids who were doing
well because of my wife.

815
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:30,500
I'm not gonna lie.
It wasn't it?

816
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:34,900
It had nothing to do with me but
anyway they're doing good and

817
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:37,900
I'm taking a class on parenting
from somebody who's never had

818
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:41,700
kids.
Move me nuts down, right, but I

819
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:45,200
played the game.
One day I was getting ready to

820
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,500
head out of that class I mean,
I'd go that class.

821
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:49,600
I'm like you look at what you
get out of here, right?

822
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,100
I would be watching the clock
and I'm like, I'm out one day.

823
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:58,100
I get caught, I was talking to
another guy and the lady, he was

824
00:52:58,100 --> 00:53:01,900
teaching, the class came up and
said, hey, I was wondering if

825
00:53:01,900 --> 00:53:05,500
you would go with us.
Some, a pretty big guy, right?

826
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,500
We have to do and what they
called an extraction, okay?

827
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,600
For my house.
And the the, the city Police

828
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,000
Department was fairly thin and
she's like, they've assured us,

829
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,200
that it's safe.
But I would like some help.

830
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:21,800
There's going to be one other
cop there and I'm like, okay

831
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:27,100
fine, right, so I get in there,
do this, and we drive down

832
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:32,700
there, and it's just horrible
conditions, Joshua, there's no

833
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:36,100
food in the house.
There's moldy food in the house.

834
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:39,400
There is feces on the wall,
filth and squalor.

835
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,200
It's filth and squalor, and you
can tell these kids have been

836
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,400
abused like Having been a former
smoker.

837
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,100
I know what a cigarette butt
burn looks like and those kids

838
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:53,100
had them.
It was horrific.

839
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,200
Horrific made me want to pound
somebody.

840
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,200
I was like, where is he?
I got something I want to give

841
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,300
them.
And what struck me is even when

842
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,300
we were telling the kids we're
going to take you someplace

843
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:08,800
safer.
You're going to be able to go

844
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,200
someplace where there's good
food they fought.

845
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:14,700
They were Were like I can't
leave here.

846
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,700
I got to stay here.
I got to stay here.

847
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:20,400
This is where I'm at and there's
this human condition that we get

848
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,400
in where the fear of the
unknown.

849
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:29,900
Seems worse than whatever
condition you're in now.

850
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:33,500
And I think that that we can
take that lesson away that.

851
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:38,300
Yeah, sometimes the unknown is
way better than what's here.

852
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,600
Devil, you don't the devil, you
know, is better than the.

853
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,300
Yeah.
I don't I don't necessarily

854
00:54:42,300 --> 00:54:45,600
ascribe to that in most cases, I
think, well, maybe not.

855
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,400
Right and and I think I think
that's the Lord saying don't be

856
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,100
too scared of change.
Change is inevitable.

857
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:55,700
So yeah so I think part of the
plagues was God just had to

858
00:54:55,707 --> 00:54:57,800
destroy Egypt.
Yeah, it doesn't.

859
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,700
It's not appealing anymore
because yes just hail and fire

860
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:05,000
and all he did his.
Yeah.

861
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,100
Like let's just destroy this
place so that by people are not

862
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,200
gonna feel a desire to stay,
right?

863
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:17,300
Yeah.
So, yeah.

864
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:20,200
Anyway, I mean, that happens,
there World felt of fell apart,

865
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,700
and they experienced a lot of
the plagues to not all of them,

866
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,800
but the first few, the
Israelites and the Egyptians

867
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,000
felt equally.
So there's you and there's a

868
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,800
lesson in that to like God's
people are not guaranteed to.

869
00:55:37,900 --> 00:55:41,500
Have an easy time at it when the
plagues and the destruction come

870
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:43,000
like you're going to feel it
too.

871
00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:48,800
But but Ultimate Destruction
there's a promise there that

872
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,200
Ultimate Destruction will not
what you will pass over you.

873
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,300
Right?
So yeah.

874
00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:06,100
So let's see, so now there's
There's kind of three, three

875
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:10,900
kind of closely related
festivals or important days

876
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:13,900
surrounding Passover.
There's the Passover itself,

877
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:17,800
which is, as I mentioned before
is the, is the Lamb actually in

878
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,900
the lab or the, or the goat is
killed on the on the 14th.

879
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,100
And then beginning on the 15th
and going for seven days, we

880
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:28,200
have the Feast of unleavened
bread and why unleavened bread

881
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,200
to remind them of the haste with
which they left.

882
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:34,700
Egypt, right?
They couldn't wait for the bread

883
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:37,100
to rise.
And so, they baked these flat,

884
00:56:37,900 --> 00:56:41,500
this flatbread.
And then the other thing is

885
00:56:41,500 --> 00:56:46,800
late, this didn't this didn't
happen when they first left

886
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:52,300
Egypt, but later on in Leviticus
look in, Leviticus 23, it talks

887
00:56:52,300 --> 00:56:59,800
about the first fruits offering
and this is the this this is the

888
00:56:59,808 --> 00:57:05,600
first fruits of the barley So in
in the land of Israel The Barley

889
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,600
becomes ripe.
At about the time, I'll pass

890
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:15,100
over a little before and the
rule that God gave is when The

891
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:19,600
Barley starts to become ripe, no
one can eat, you're not supposed

892
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:26,200
to eat the new grain until the
first offering has been made to

893
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,500
God.
And then, and then, and then you

894
00:57:29,508 --> 00:57:32,600
can Partake of the bread after
that.

895
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:40,900
So and that that first day of
first, fruits, actually, there

896
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:42,800
are different Traditions about
this and we can talk about that

897
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,800
a little bit, but it's connected
with the Feast of unleavened

898
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:51,800
bread.
I'll just say that one, the most

899
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,600
common tradition, which is the
tradition that the rabbi is

900
00:57:54,600 --> 00:58:01,700
take, is that the day when the
first Sheaf of barley is

901
00:58:01,700 --> 00:58:07,500
supposed to be offered is the
second day of unleavened bread.

902
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:09,000
Hmm.
Okay.

903
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,600
The carrots, which is another
branch of Judaism.

904
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,900
They feel like that.
It's it's going to be basically

905
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:21,100
the Sunday during the Feast of
unleavened bread.

906
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:25,500
Whenever that it doesn't could
be, could be the first or the

907
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:28,000
second, third, fourth fifth or
sixth or seventh day.

908
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,800
But when there's going to be a
Sunday in there, Somewhere, he

909
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,000
would be the day after the
weekly Sabbath basically.

910
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,600
So, and in ancient times, these
two views were basically the

911
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:41,300
Pharisees and the Sadducees like
disagreed.

912
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,700
Coraz��n is about the Sadducees
were of the of the opinion.

913
00:58:46,700 --> 00:58:50,100
That the first fruit offering
mentioned in Leviticus 23,

914
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:53,900
should be like during the Sunday
during the Feast of unleavened

915
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:55,600
bread.
And the Pharisees said, No, it

916
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,000
should be the second day of
unleavened bread.

917
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:05,400
Whenever that is okay.
So fast forwarding now, too.

918
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:12,000
Jesus, and his fulfillment, of
course, there's so many things

919
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,900
that did that Jesus fulfilled.
He's referred to as the Lamb of

920
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:20,800
God and over and over throughout
the scriptures when it when it

921
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,600
talks about a lamb, like in the
Book of Revelation, there's this

922
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:31,900
lamb is talked about and I mean,
it's referring to this Passover

923
00:59:31,900 --> 00:59:33,500
imagery.
Okay.

924
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:39,300
So there's all kinds of things
that actually, the The

925
00:59:39,900 --> 00:59:42,900
celebration of Passover and the
different kind of rituals.

926
00:59:42,900 --> 00:59:47,100
They, they point to they talk
about Jesus triumphant entry.

927
00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:51,000
They talked about his cleansing
of the Temple.

928
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:57,100
Before Shadow him as the as the
Passover Lamb.

929
00:59:58,100 --> 01:00:03,800
The significance of the Lord's
Supper, the sacrament, the the

930
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,800
Passover rituals foreshadowed
the place and time of his

931
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,300
crucifixion.
They foreshadow those

932
01:00:11,300 --> 01:00:15,800
responsible for his death.
There's foreshadowing of the

933
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,100
three days in the Tomb and also
the the time of his

934
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:22,200
resurrection.
So all of those things We are

935
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:28,700
fulfilled in detail by Jesus,
and he is his passion week

936
01:00:28,700 --> 01:00:32,100
basically.
So, first one is the the

937
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:36,000
triumphant entry.
So this and you can read, this

938
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,100
is in John, in the gospels.
Matthew Mark talked about it,

939
01:00:41,100 --> 01:00:45,700
too, but this is, when Jesus
comes riding into Jerusalem, on

940
01:00:45,700 --> 01:00:49,600
the donkey and everyone's
shouting Hosanna, and they've

941
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,600
got the palm branches.
Has and they're throwing down

942
01:00:52,600 --> 01:01:00,200
their jackets or whatever to to
make a path for him and they

943
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:07,200
they hail him as King right
essentially and this at this

944
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:13,600
point like until this this
really is this setting Jesus

945
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,700
gets set apart from the rest of
the Israelites.

946
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,600
He's been mingling with them,
he's been mingling with the

947
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:25,500
lowlifes, right, the tax
collectors, the prostitutes and

948
01:01:26,100 --> 01:01:32,900
the Sinners, and, but now
suddenly he is, he's gaining

949
01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:37,400
traction, he's gaining
popularity and he suddenly gets

950
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,500
elevated to King essentially in.
It's symbolically speaking they

951
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:48,000
recognized him as that and this,
you know, the Leadership has

952
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,300
been nervous about him.
Oh yeah but they're like no no

953
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,500
we definitely got to take care
of this problem.

954
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:57,100
This is embarrassing.
Right?

955
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,300
And this this happens this John
gives the timing.

956
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:03,900
This is happens on the tenth day
of Passover their 10th day of

957
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:06,700
the first month.
This is when the Passover Lambs

958
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:13,300
are so set apart from the rest
of the flock as the as the

959
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:17,300
sacrificial lamb.
So, here he is, set apart.

960
01:02:17,500 --> 01:02:20,200
His with, with the triumphal
entry.

961
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:27,700
So Jesus, of course, cleanses
the temple to okay, makes a whip

962
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,800
and it's a, it's a great story
for all those people who you

963
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:37,200
have the the big teddy bear,
loving accepting Jesus, right?

964
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,000
That wouldn't hurt a flea or
whatever, right?

965
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,100
But, you know, he braids takes
the time to braid a whip, and

966
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:46,200
then goes in and flips over the
tables and cleans house.

967
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,100
Yep.
And this is fulfilling the

968
01:02:51,100 --> 01:02:58,400
Passover symbolism as well,
because in preparation for the

969
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,800
Feast of unleavened bread,
they're supposed to clean their

970
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,600
houses of all the comments or
the Levin.

971
01:03:05,700 --> 01:03:11,400
So, here he is, he says, I'm
cleaning my father's house right

972
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:17,800
of the wickedness that's there.
And of course leaven in the Hers

973
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:23,000
has a number of meanings, but
generally, not always, but

974
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000
generally there's kind of a
negative connotation.

975
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:29,300
Right. 11 is represented
representative of sin of some

976
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:34,300
sort or false ideas.
At least, like Jesus said,

977
01:03:34,300 --> 01:03:38,700
Beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees right now.

978
01:03:38,700 --> 01:03:43,200
It's not always, it's not always
negative, but usually it is.

979
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,200
Jesus also says, To his
followers, A little leaven

980
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,900
leavens, the whole lump like he
he wants us to be the leaven for

981
01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:57,100
the world.
But I, but with the righteous

982
01:03:57,100 --> 01:04:01,000
counterpart, to the leaven of
the Pharisees, in the wickedness

983
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:08,700
of these, these uninspired
Traditions that the Pharisees

984
01:04:08,700 --> 01:04:13,600
are constantly trying to pile
onto everybody Jesus. he gets

985
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,200
criticized for not following
their Traditions all the time

986
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,600
even though he's since he's
keeping all the Commandments but

987
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,600
he does not keep their
Traditions, you know, he Pick

988
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,100
some food on the Sabbath and
heals people on the Sabbath.

989
01:04:27,100 --> 01:04:32,100
And his his disciples eat with
unwashed hands and he's being

990
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:34,700
criticized constantly.
But all these things that he's

991
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:36,900
being criticized about, none of
them are actual Commandments,

992
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,000
right?
These are otherwise, he's not a

993
01:04:39,008 --> 01:04:41,500
seamless, right?
They're all, they're all the

994
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:44,700
traditions of the Pharisees,
which he says, beware of this

995
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:51,800
this leavening that they have.
So, so, so he's, so there's,

996
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,600
there's some corruption in the
temple.

997
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:56,000
To and who knows what all that
entails.

998
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:01,900
I've heard the theories about.
you know, your people bring

999
01:05:01,900 --> 01:05:09,700
animals and, and The priests
were maybe saying oh you know

1000
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,500
you know we found this problem
with your lab that you brought.

1001
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:18,400
So why don't you?
You know we have some here

1002
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,000
though that you can buy from us
that are certified or whatever

1003
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:27,700
and they were you know kind of
Abusing the system as they

1004
01:05:27,700 --> 01:05:29,700
turned into a money-making
operation.

1005
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,000
Yeah.
Jesus didn't like that.

1006
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,000
No.
So he cleaned 11 out of his out

1007
01:05:34,008 --> 01:05:39,300
of his father's house.
Then of course, he is the Lamb

1008
01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:44,500
that the scriptures are full of
that and he's not only is he the

1009
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:46,100
lamb?
But he's the lamb that was slain

1010
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:48,600
from before the foundation of
the world, from the foundation

1011
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,300
of the world.
So this is always the plan and

1012
01:05:54,500 --> 01:05:57,000
Time and place of his
crucifixion.

1013
01:05:58,500 --> 01:06:02,400
Now, in the, in Exodus chapter
12, when they're, when Jehovah

1014
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:06,200
is giving instructions, he tells
them to on the on the 14th.

1015
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:11,300
He says, you're supposed to kill
kill the Passover Lambs on in

1016
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:16,300
the afternoon.
The Hebrew phrase is between the

1017
01:06:16,300 --> 01:06:21,800
evenings, okay?
So in the Hebrew Hebrew way of

1018
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,000
thinking, about the day, there's
actually two evenings and we

1019
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,800
actually in our English, modern
speech, we refer to these things

1020
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,900
as evenings to the first evening
is noon and when the sun, when

1021
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:39,900
the Sun reaches high place and
then starts to go down that's

1022
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:42,400
evening and of course we say
p.m. that's right.

1023
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,400
Evening right.
But then there's also the

1024
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,700
evening where the sun is
actually getting close to the

1025
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:49,900
Horizon and you searched the sky
turns red and starts to get

1026
01:06:49,900 --> 01:06:52,300
dimmer.
We call that evening as well.

1027
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:57,800
And so did ancient Israelites.
So between the evenings is the,

1028
01:06:57,900 --> 01:07:00,900
the phrase used.
So so that was in the afternoon

1029
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:06,000
and typically the Passover Lambs
were killed between like 3:00

1030
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,900
and 5:00 p.m.
And in the Gospels it says

1031
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:15,200
that's that is that is the time
that Jesus was crucified to.

1032
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:16,500
Wow.
Right.

1033
01:07:16,500 --> 01:07:19,900
Right.
Then when at the temple, all of

1034
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:24,000
the the Passover Lambs were
being killed Jesus.

1035
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,400
At that same time, was being
flogged and then nailed to the

1036
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:33,900
cross and all those horrible
things.

1037
01:07:33,900 --> 01:07:42,500
So, so evil, feel that now There
is kind of an interesting.

1038
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:52,200
Glitch in the gospels.
And that is the synoptic gospels

1039
01:07:52,700 --> 01:07:55,100
of Matthew, Mark.
And Luke, they all say that the

1040
01:07:55,100 --> 01:07:59,900
last supper or they don't
necessarily say, but they imply,

1041
01:07:59,900 --> 01:08:06,900
they imply very strongly that
the last supper was the Passover

1042
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:17,700
however, John says that it was
before the Passover Now, and

1043
01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:23,500
which I agree, I agree with John
because if Jesus had kind of

1044
01:08:24,700 --> 01:08:29,200
eaten the Passover and then been
killed the following day, he

1045
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,700
would, he would not have been
the Passover Lamb.

1046
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:34,600
Right?
Is more important for him to be

1047
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,700
the Passover than to partake,
eat the Passover, right?

1048
01:08:37,899 --> 01:08:42,399
And actually in Luke, he says he
says, I have really want.

1049
01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:44,100
He says, I've desired with
desire.

1050
01:08:44,100 --> 01:08:47,000
Great.
Our to eat this Passover, but

1051
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,600
I'm not going to I'm not going
to partake it again until until

1052
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,500
the kingdom.
I've got rights, basically.

1053
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:57,700
So anyway, there's some things
we probably won't get into it

1054
01:08:57,700 --> 01:09:04,200
but there's looking at the Greek
construction of the sentences in

1055
01:09:04,700 --> 01:09:11,500
Matthew, Mark and Luke it
actually it actually can be

1056
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:14,000
translated a couple of different
ways.

1057
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:17,200
And I think the better
translation is rather than at

1058
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,800
some point says on the first day
of unleavened bread, the better

1059
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,200
translation is it actually says
before before the Feast of

1060
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,899
unleavened bread they were
getting they're making

1061
01:09:24,899 --> 01:09:28,000
preparations.
So anyway, that's just a little

1062
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:33,399
side note but I think Jesus was
here, he was crucified when the

1063
01:09:33,399 --> 01:09:36,100
Lambs were being slaughtered
slaughtered.

1064
01:09:36,100 --> 01:09:42,600
Yeah.
Okay, so those responsible for

1065
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:50,000
his death to the Passover.
The Passover ritual is actually

1066
01:09:50,899 --> 01:09:56,900
tell us about that too and it's
really tempting sometimes to

1067
01:09:56,900 --> 01:10:02,400
point to the Romans say, ah,
yeah those those dirty Romans,

1068
01:10:02,700 --> 01:10:07,800
they're the ones that killed
Jesus or even to say those the

1069
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,800
Jews, especially the, the
corrupt Jewish leadership.

1070
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:16,100
They're the ones that killed
Jesus, but you know who, you

1071
01:10:16,100 --> 01:10:19,600
know, who kills the Is over.
It's the actual people of Israel

1072
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,800
when they allow Barabbas to go
free.

1073
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,500
Yeah.
The people you know the people

1074
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:29,900
the people do that.
And and and that's what in

1075
01:10:29,900 --> 01:10:33,700
Exodus chapter 12.
He says you know, the father of

1076
01:10:33,700 --> 01:10:38,000
every house you're going to you
you are going to kill the lamb

1077
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:45,000
and it is it is by them and and
for them that the lamb is killed

1078
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,600
and you know I mean that's a
humbling thing to think about

1079
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:54,200
actually I think about that
sometimes when you know what I'm

1080
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,900
doing the sacrament with my
family ER fellowship or

1081
01:10:57,900 --> 01:11:03,900
whatever.
We partake of the bread and the

1082
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:08,000
wine.
You in remembrance of Jesus.

1083
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:13,600
But the guys, the guys who are
administering, right?

1084
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:18,100
Are the ones who are ripping you
have flesh, right?

1085
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,900
Yeah, this is me.
This is my sins.

1086
01:11:21,700 --> 01:11:25,000
Every time I tear it.
I just think of my, you know, my

1087
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:26,200
sins.
And this is what I do.

1088
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,200
This is what I did to my savior.
Yep.

1089
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:33,600
And I, I his blood was poured
out because of me.

1090
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:36,200
Yep.
And for me, And it was not the

1091
01:11:36,208 --> 01:11:38,200
Romans who shed his blood that
was me.

1092
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:41,400
Yep, you know.
So I think there's also an

1093
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,600
interesting parallel there to
that.

1094
01:11:45,900 --> 01:11:51,700
We know that there was a large
faction of Israel that wasn't

1095
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:54,500
happy that Rome was there.
Yeah.

1096
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:55,400
Right.
Right now.

1097
01:11:55,407 --> 01:11:59,100
And rightfully so I don't think
any of us would be happy with an

1098
01:11:59,100 --> 01:12:02,700
occupying power.
Very few having said that

1099
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:10,800
Because of political strife's.
They were so angry, they prefer

1100
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:15,600
to murderer.
Over somebody else and I think

1101
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:20,200
that that can be kind of a
cautionary tale as well, right?

1102
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:26,700
And I get some Flack for this.
I liked Trump as a president.

1103
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:28,300
I thought he did some good
stuff.

1104
01:12:28,300 --> 01:12:32,300
I was a huge fan when he moved
the embassy to Jerusalem I'm

1105
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:36,500
like I didn't see that coming.
So I yeah, II definitely didn't

1106
01:12:36,500 --> 01:12:39,400
vote for Hillary, but I did
write in another candidate.

1107
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:43,100
I did right in Ted Cruz because
I just didn't think Trump.

1108
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:47,800
Was was a constitutionalist.
I was wrong.

1109
01:12:47,900 --> 01:12:50,500
I'll admit that he was better
than I thought he was.

1110
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,100
The one thing that scared me
about Trump was that he appealed

1111
01:12:55,100 --> 01:12:59,000
to everybody's anger?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

1112
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:02,800
And that to me is always
troubling and I think you see

1113
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:07,900
parallels in that with what
happened with Barabbas and

1114
01:13:07,900 --> 01:13:11,200
Jesus, right?
People are so angry that they're

1115
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,700
being occupied.
We want we want not Jesus,

1116
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:15,900
right?
We don't.

1117
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:18,600
They weren't look, whoever we
doesn't matter, right?

1118
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,600
Just he's anybody to make the
Romans lot harder and we know,

1119
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:26,000
That Barabbas, he was he was one
of the zealots, right?

1120
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:31,100
He was one of those hanging out
down, by the Galilee performing

1121
01:13:31,100 --> 01:13:34,600
Guerrilla tactics and that sort
of thing because let's face it.

1122
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:38,400
If he's murdering other Jews,
the Jewish people, probably are

1123
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,000
more like, yeah.
You keep him.

1124
01:13:41,100 --> 01:13:42,000
Yeah.
Yeah.

1125
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,600
We'll take Jesus.
And he Barabbas is killing

1126
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:50,400
quote, the right people.
And so that political anger can

1127
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,700
be somewhat blinding and I think
it's a cautionary tale to be

1128
01:13:54,700 --> 01:13:56,600
very careful who you're pinning
to?

1129
01:13:56,900 --> 01:14:01,000
Yeah, no that's that's blinding
is the right word.

1130
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:01,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

1131
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:05,200
When you let your anger, dictate
a lot of your decisions.

1132
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:09,600
You knew a lot of silly crap
when you're angry and that was

1133
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,400
that was my only not now.
And it's not only a.

1134
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,500
Yeah.
And it's and it's the anger of a

1135
01:14:14,508 --> 01:14:16,600
crowd too, right?
Yeah.

1136
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,500
Yeah.
It's that mob mentality.

1137
01:14:19,900 --> 01:14:23,200
You've seen those those Your
posters like sky, right?

1138
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,800
Yeah, this Eagle soaring, or
whatever or the cat hanging on

1139
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,100
and says, hang in there.
Yeah.

1140
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:30,800
They're an excellence and
persevere and all that.

1141
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,900
There's, there's also, there's
a, his company is probably a few

1142
01:14:33,900 --> 01:14:36,700
companies that make not
motivational posters but

1143
01:14:36,700 --> 01:14:39,900
demotivation I've seen those are
awesome bellarius.

1144
01:14:39,900 --> 01:14:45,500
My favorite one though is its
pictures and all these hands

1145
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:48,100
like in the middle like we're
going to we're going to do a go

1146
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:52,900
team kind of thing.
But the caption is like I think

1147
01:14:52,900 --> 01:14:56,400
the caption says, teamwork and
but then the the subtitle is

1148
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,300
none of us is, as dumb as all of
us.

1149
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:01,700
Yep.
Yep.

1150
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:03,700
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's easy.

1151
01:15:03,700 --> 01:15:07,900
There's so many Grace embolisms
within the Passover and when you

1152
01:15:07,900 --> 01:15:11,600
start looking at what happens to
Jesus, it's, it's, it's good

1153
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:12,500
stuff.
Yeah.

1154
01:15:12,500 --> 01:15:16,300
It's the it's the best.
So, okay.

1155
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,600
You know, his time in the Tomb
and the time of his

1156
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,800
resurrection, this is really
cool too because Hey.

1157
01:15:25,500 --> 01:15:30,200
Paul, the Apostle.
Paul, he picks up on this in his

1158
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:36,800
writings and he refers to Jesus
as the firstfruits of them that

1159
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,200
slept.
Okay.

1160
01:15:39,300 --> 01:15:42,700
And this is talking about the,
the first fruits of the barley

1161
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:48,700
Harvest and, and equating that
to the resurrection and Paul has

1162
01:15:48,700 --> 01:15:57,500
plenty of imagery about this.
But as I said, you know, the and

1163
01:15:57,500 --> 01:16:04,400
this happens during Passover and
it happens on happens on, as I

1164
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:06,700
said that the Sadducees felt
like, it should always be on the

1165
01:16:06,708 --> 01:16:10,500
Sunday and Pharisees thought it
should be the second day.

1166
01:16:10,500 --> 01:16:12,000
And sometimes those were the
same.

1167
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:16,700
And the year that and I love
this to about about Jesus is

1168
01:16:16,700 --> 01:16:20,000
that I think the year that he
died, those were actually

1169
01:16:20,300 --> 01:16:24,300
listening to same day.
So, It actually satisfied, both

1170
01:16:24,300 --> 01:16:26,700
both calendar systems.
Okay?

1171
01:16:26,700 --> 01:16:34,000
But but basically Jesus is the
first Sheaf of the resurrection

1172
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,900
of the first fruits of the
Resurrection.

1173
01:16:35,900 --> 01:16:39,500
So and what that means is, no
one else can partake of the

1174
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:44,500
Resurrection until that first
shieff is offered right?

1175
01:16:44,500 --> 01:16:49,900
And he and Jesus says that to
Mary in the garden.

1176
01:16:49,900 --> 01:16:54,700
He says I he says don't hold me.
Some of the translations say

1177
01:16:54,700 --> 01:16:57,600
don't touch me but that's not
what he was intending.

1178
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,100
I don't believe says, don't hold
me as in.

1179
01:16:59,100 --> 01:17:03,500
Don't hold me back.
I need to go present myself to

1180
01:17:03,500 --> 01:17:06,900
the father, right?
As that as that first Sheaf of

1181
01:17:06,900 --> 01:17:12,500
the resurrection and then once
that is done, then other other

1182
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:15,500
folks can partake of the
Resurrection to gotcha.

1183
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,700
So, so that was fulfilled there
as well.

1184
01:17:17,900 --> 01:17:25,500
So really, really amazing stuff.
Now, how is it?

1185
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:30,200
How is it celebrated, you know
these things?

1186
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:38,100
Well, the modern the modern
celebration really is in a

1187
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:43,000
Seder.
So seder, Passover seder is a

1188
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,200
Seder means and ordered meal.
Mmm.

1189
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:51,400
So they have this symbolic meal
and there's kind of these parts

1190
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,500
it's kind of like a play almost
and you're the father will say

1191
01:17:55,500 --> 01:17:58,300
something and then the family
will say something and then you

1192
01:17:58,300 --> 01:17:59,900
know, the children will say
something and there's kind of a

1193
01:17:59,900 --> 01:18:11,300
script That you read and in a
lot of ways I the Seder is very

1194
01:18:11,300 --> 01:18:15,200
much like the endowment.
Hmm.

1195
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:24,100
And the reason for that action,
we're going to going to read see

1196
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:28,300
if I wrote it down.
Let's see.

1197
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:29,900
Well let's see.
In Exodus 13 somewhere.

1198
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,700
Okay.
So one of the one of The

1199
01:18:34,700 --> 01:18:38,500
Commandments connect it to
Passover is that you are

1200
01:18:38,500 --> 01:18:41,800
supposed to teach this to your
children, right?

1201
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,100
Forever and you're supposed to
do these things.

1202
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:50,500
And you know, keep this as a
memorial for ever, that's how

1203
01:18:50,500 --> 01:18:54,700
important it is.
So in Exodus 13 starting in

1204
01:18:54,700 --> 01:19:07,900
verse 14. let's see, actually
Okay.

1205
01:19:08,900 --> 01:19:10,800
Yeah now I'm going to read I
start in verse 8.

1206
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:15,400
So just before that he's talking
about seven days of unleavened

1207
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,500
bread.
And verse 8 says and thou shalt

1208
01:19:18,500 --> 01:19:23,600
show thy son in that day saying.
And by the way, this aisle I'm

1209
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:28,600
going to back up to five, sorry.
No Exodus 13 Verse 5 says when

1210
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,300
when the Lord shall bring thee
into the land.

1211
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:38,200
Okay, so when the Lord brings
them into the land, was there.

1212
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:43,100
Anyone who is brought into the
land who actually experienced

1213
01:19:43,500 --> 01:19:46,200
what happened in Egypt?
No, because they all the old

1214
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:47,900
generation died off in the
wanderings.

1215
01:19:47,900 --> 01:19:52,100
No one except Joshua Caleb.
Yep, that's it.

1216
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:58,000
So, but even though, even though
none of the people there who

1217
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,200
will be brought into the land
actually experienced it, this is

1218
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,400
the Commandment that they're
Ian, it's really amazing.

1219
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,100
Now shall Shew thy son in that
day, saying this is done because

1220
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:14,600
of that, which Jehovah did unto
me when I came forth out of

1221
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,400
Egypt.
Hmm!

1222
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:24,200
See, so, even nowadays, like,
you are the Commandment is that

1223
01:20:24,300 --> 01:20:26,300
when you have your family,
sitting around the table and

1224
01:20:26,300 --> 01:20:29,500
you're eating unleavened bread
and lamb and bitter herbs.

1225
01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:33,700
And you tell the story you're
supposed to tell your Children.

1226
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:40,000
This is what God did for me when
I came out of Egypt and, and

1227
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,000
every generation is supposed to
tell, this is what God did for

1228
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,000
me.
When I came out when he took me

1229
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:54,400
out of Egypt throughout your
Generations because 11, our

1230
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:56,900
ancestors story is our story.
Yep.

1231
01:20:57,700 --> 01:21:04,500
And to this is this is a We've
mentioned it several times.

1232
01:21:04,500 --> 01:21:08,600
This is a personal story that
gets told over and over, you

1233
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:12,600
know in the endowment it says
each of you is supposed to

1234
01:21:12,700 --> 01:21:15,800
consider yourselves as though
you were.

1235
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,900
You had him and Eve, right?
We weren't Adam and Eve and yet

1236
01:21:18,900 --> 01:21:23,900
we and yet we are Adam and Eve.
And this is a story about us and

1237
01:21:23,900 --> 01:21:27,800
we are learning.
We are taking upon ourselves

1238
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:32,800
this the identity of our
ancestors and add going through

1239
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,500
the thing.
That they went through and

1240
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:38,500
learning about the things that
they experience in hopes that we

1241
01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:40,600
can have the blessings that they
had.

1242
01:21:41,300 --> 01:21:43,800
Right.
And so when we when the Seder,

1243
01:21:44,700 --> 01:21:47,900
when the seder meal is done and
we tell the story and we go

1244
01:21:47,900 --> 01:21:52,300
through these, this ceremonial
reenactment of that night.

1245
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,400
Each of you is to consider
yourselves as though you were

1246
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,500
there in Egypt, right?
And you were freed and you tell

1247
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:00,800
your children, this is what God
did for me.

1248
01:22:01,300 --> 01:22:04,000
Personally, you know, that's one
of the Things I love about

1249
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,100
Mormonism, is that?
You can always tell where God

1250
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:11,300
has been because he leaves an
impression that lasts for

1251
01:22:11,300 --> 01:22:13,600
generations and preceding
Generations.

1252
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,100
Hearken back to it.
We do this with our youth,

1253
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:18,600
right?
And this this will ring true,

1254
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,400
especially in the LDS church.
How many times have they went

1255
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,100
back?
Re-enacted Trek.

1256
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:24,900
Right?
Why would you do that?

1257
01:22:24,900 --> 01:22:30,000
It's this exact same thing.
It is, God was in the details of

1258
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:30,800
that.
How do I know?

1259
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:34,400
Because his impression is so
defined that we now have

1260
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,600
successive generations to
Generations.

1261
01:22:36,700 --> 01:22:40,000
Going back.
To reenact those things to have

1262
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,900
an appreciation to have that
experience.

1263
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,700
It's the same thing he did with
the Jewish Nation with Israel

1264
01:22:47,500 --> 01:22:51,500
reenact this.
This is just it's just like he

1265
01:22:51,500 --> 01:22:53,800
went through it.
It's just like the endowment.

1266
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,100
That's a good because you're
going to pass through with the

1267
01:22:56,100 --> 01:22:58,700
ultimate ancestor passed
through.

1268
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:00,400
Yeah.
To get here.

1269
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:01,300
That's right.
Yeah.

1270
01:23:01,300 --> 01:23:04,800
It's like the I mean I reminded
of lectures on faith.

1271
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,900
I think it's six or seven.
I can't remember now but it's

1272
01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:10,300
basically like like you want you
want the blessings that your

1273
01:23:10,300 --> 01:23:12,900
ancestors had em.
You do it?

1274
01:23:12,900 --> 01:23:14,000
They did.
Yep.

1275
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:17,800
And and it is vain for you to
think that you can have the same

1276
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,900
blessing without the same
sacrifice, you do it.

1277
01:23:19,907 --> 01:23:21,400
They did.
You'll get the blessing they

1278
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,400
got.
And that's it, that's the rule.

1279
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,200
And I think it's also a
fulfillment of that promise

1280
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:30,000
where, you know, the hearts will
be turned to the fathers.

1281
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,900
And the hearts of the children
shall be turned to their fathers

1282
01:23:32,900 --> 01:23:34,200
and their fathers to their
children.

1283
01:23:34,300 --> 01:23:37,300
Yeah, I think that is very much
a part of that.

1284
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,500
Because what better way to have
your heart turn to your

1285
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:44,800
ancestors, then to you, as they
did to experience what they

1286
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,100
experienced.
And if I'm not mistaken, the

1287
01:23:47,100 --> 01:23:51,800
seder meal has some pretty
bitter herbs, you're going to

1288
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,100
recoil at the experience, just
like your ancestors did.

1289
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:57,400
That's right.
Yeah, yeah.

1290
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,700
It's beautiful, beautiful.
But that that like welding link

1291
01:24:01,700 --> 01:24:04,500
between the generations is built
into the Commandments

1292
01:24:04,500 --> 01:24:10,200
surrounding surrounding.
The observance of Passover.

1293
01:24:11,300 --> 01:24:16,000
So yeah.
Now there's so the Seder.

1294
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:20,700
I said the stator is in seder is
found in a book called the

1295
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:24,400
Haggadah.
The Haggadah I've gotta means

1296
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,300
the telling.
So this this contains the and

1297
01:24:27,300 --> 01:24:29,900
I'm holding one here for those
of you who can't see, but the

1298
01:24:29,900 --> 01:24:34,700
Haggadah is it contains the
story of Passover, which they're

1299
01:24:34,700 --> 01:24:37,700
commanded to tell and also kind
of the instructions for the

1300
01:24:37,900 --> 01:24:39,000
Emil.
Right.

1301
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:43,200
And yeah.
And it involves these symbolic

1302
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:47,200
elements, the main, you know,
the symbolic elements that are

1303
01:24:47,300 --> 01:24:53,900
required by the scriptures are
lamb, unleavened bread and

1304
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:59,500
bitter herbs and you mention
bitter herbs can be many things,

1305
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:04,700
but traditionally that involves
horseradish and, and the

1306
01:25:04,700 --> 01:25:07,400
tradition with that is that
you're supposed to take like the

1307
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:12,600
size of Olive like and it's
uncomfortable, right?

1308
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,000
And it's supposed to be, it's
supposed to bring you to tears,

1309
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:15,800
you know?
Yep.

1310
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,500
And it does.
Okay.

1311
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,400
Now there are there are
additional symbolic elements

1312
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:27,200
that have been added over time.
And that includes like washing

1313
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:28,800
of hands.
There's a couple of times where

1314
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:34,900
this is done and eating this
mixture called Hora set, which

1315
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:37,600
is basically made from fruits
and nuts.

1316
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:42,000
And juice or wine kind of boiled
together into a paste.

1317
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:45,300
And this is to remind them of
like the mortar that they made

1318
01:25:45,300 --> 01:25:47,200
bricks with and stuff.
Okay?

1319
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:53,500
And there's also these, these
cups of wine trade, the

1320
01:25:53,500 --> 01:25:57,300
tradition is four cups of wine
at various points throughout the

1321
01:25:57,300 --> 01:26:05,500
meal.
And so, little side note on

1322
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:10,000
that, by the way, out of you, if
you ever have you seen John

1323
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,600
Donne Bradley's book?
The Lost 116 Pages.

1324
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,900
I've seen it.
I've never read it.

1325
01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:17,900
Excellent book.
Highly recommend it.

1326
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:22,700
He has some really interesting
historical background that has

1327
01:26:22,700 --> 01:26:27,500
been dug up about the contents
of the Lost pages.

1328
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:32,800
And at least one of The
interesting details that's lost

1329
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:38,700
is that at the time when Lehi
and his family, make their

1330
01:26:38,700 --> 01:26:42,200
Exodus from Jerusalem, it is
during this Festival of the

1331
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:46,600
Jews.
And there's good evidence from,

1332
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:49,600
there's good evidence that this
was that Lehigh probably left

1333
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:55,300
during Passover.
And the fact that fact that

1334
01:26:55,300 --> 01:26:59,300
Nephi found Laban drunk in the
streets, probably, because he

1335
01:26:59,308 --> 01:27:01,500
was out, he's probably had more
than four cups of wine.

1336
01:27:02,300 --> 01:27:04,600
But anyway, but is probably
connected with Passover.

1337
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:08,800
There's a lot of actually
Passover imagery, kind of in The

1338
01:27:09,100 --> 01:27:11,900
Exodus of Lehi, and his family.
So so there's a little more,

1339
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,200
another, another Mormon
connection there.

1340
01:27:15,900 --> 01:27:25,100
So anyway, the Seder is
interesting because nobody

1341
01:27:25,100 --> 01:27:27,100
actually knows who wrote the
Seder.

1342
01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:32,200
There's many different kind of
versions that have come up over

1343
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,600
the years, but but we know that
it's about 2,000 years old.

1344
01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:39,900
At least interesting, though,
smidge.

1345
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:49,800
Yeah, interesting though, is
Many things in Christianity and

1346
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:55,300
Mormonism included.
Have, you know, either I will

1347
01:27:55,300 --> 01:28:00,600
say continued continued or
borrowed symbolism and elements

1348
01:28:01,300 --> 01:28:05,700
from Judaism but the the
exchange has gone the other way

1349
01:28:05,700 --> 01:28:07,800
too.
And there's actually there's

1350
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,400
actually very good.
There's some, there's some good

1351
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:16,700
evidence that the, the Jewish
Seder actually was Is a response

1352
01:28:16,700 --> 01:28:23,300
to the Christian celebration of
Passover because the Last

1353
01:28:23,300 --> 01:28:25,900
Supper, which although it was
not a Passover, definitely had

1354
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:29,400
Passover significance, right?
And so in the Seder, there's

1355
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,600
washing of hands in the Last
Supper, there's washing a feet.

1356
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:36,500
There is the the bread, there's
the wine right?

1357
01:28:36,500 --> 01:28:44,500
Which is in the Seder to there's
Jesus dipping his his bread into

1358
01:28:44,500 --> 01:28:46,200
some sort of diversion.
It's op.

1359
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:51,400
It says right of course Judas
dips within right but but in the

1360
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,100
in the Seder, there's these
haroset, like I said, they

1361
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:57,700
actually dip into the haroset
and also there's saltwater.

1362
01:28:58,100 --> 01:29:00,200
That's vegetables, are dipped in
at another time.

1363
01:29:00,700 --> 01:29:04,300
But so there's all these and
there's several cups actually

1364
01:29:04,300 --> 01:29:06,800
have wine in the end.
The Last Supper there was

1365
01:29:07,700 --> 01:29:11,300
there's cups mentioned in
throughout the synoptic gospels.

1366
01:29:11,300 --> 01:29:18,100
So, Anyway, the oldest account
in of any historical account

1367
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:20,900
that we have of anything that
looks like a Seder is actually

1368
01:29:20,900 --> 01:29:26,400
the last supper.
And so this actually is a, you

1369
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,700
has its roots there where I
believe so.

1370
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:42,300
So, That was going to say.
So, anyway, The satyrs Cedars,

1371
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:45,400
great.
We usually have, oh, I was gonna

1372
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:50,900
say, so there is, there is some
controversy about whether or not

1373
01:29:50,900 --> 01:29:55,300
you should have lamb in modern
times.

1374
01:29:55,400 --> 01:30:02,100
So rabbinic Jews, they
definitely frown upon eating

1375
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:05,800
lamb.
During the Seder.

1376
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:09,900
And a big part of that is
because they have no Temple, no,

1377
01:30:09,900 --> 01:30:11,700
absence of a temple.
All right.

1378
01:30:11,900 --> 01:30:19,300
And they say there are some
verses in Deuteronomy that If

1379
01:30:19,300 --> 01:30:27,000
you read it one way, seems to
say that that the Passover needs

1380
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:32,000
to be killed at the temple.
And in second in second temple

1381
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,700
times.
Like, in Jesus day, that is kind

1382
01:30:34,700 --> 01:30:37,700
of the practice at least for the
people who were living in

1383
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,200
Jerusalem.
They would bring their lambs to

1384
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,500
the temple, to kill them, and
then take them home and eat

1385
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:47,300
them.
But I don't want to get into the

1386
01:30:47,300 --> 01:30:52,600
details there, but but isn't
Deuteronomy 16 and it may be, I

1387
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,900
think Deuteronomy 16 is actually
describing the the national

1388
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:02,100
celebration of Passover versus
the individual, familial

1389
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,400
celebration of Passover, which
is described in, Exodus 12 and

1390
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:11,400
13, Passover unleavened bread.
By the way, is this isn't.

1391
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:12,900
Here's another kind of Mormon
connection.

1392
01:31:12,900 --> 01:31:17,900
There's there's some time.
Of the year, when everyone is

1393
01:31:17,900 --> 01:31:21,900
supposed to come together, come
to the temple, come to

1394
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:25,200
Jerusalem, and bring their
offerings.

1395
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,500
And also just receive
instructions from the priest and

1396
01:31:28,500 --> 01:31:30,300
stuff.
And one of them is in the spring

1397
01:31:30,300 --> 01:31:36,200
Passover, which is around April
and one of them is in at the

1398
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:40,600
Feast of Tabernacles, which is
in around October usually.

1399
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:46,600
So, although the, you know, the
LDS General Conference the And

1400
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,400
the beginning of April, in the
beginning of October, they're

1401
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,300
not, they don't always line up
with unleavened bread and

1402
01:31:51,300 --> 01:31:54,300
Tabernacles but they're
definitely an echo there.

1403
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:58,400
The other time the third time,
when in this supposed to be this

1404
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,000
is just for the man other
people, you know, the women are

1405
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:03,600
allowed to, there's no
restriction there but the manner

1406
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:07,200
required to show up and bring
their offering represent the

1407
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,200
family and bring their
offerings.

1408
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,500
Like I said, and receive
instruction and stuff.

1409
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,900
The other time is Shavuot or the
Feast of Weeks.

1410
01:32:16,500 --> 01:32:21,800
So which is coming up soon and
you're going to you're going to

1411
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,700
give us a talk there at the
restoration Torah conference.

1412
01:32:25,700 --> 01:32:28,400
We'll talk more about that next
time, I guess.

1413
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:32,900
But anyway, there's controversy
about about that but I am

1414
01:32:32,900 --> 01:32:38,900
convinced that although there
are sacrifices and stuff that

1415
01:32:38,900 --> 01:32:41,800
we're supposed to be done by the
Levites and done in the temple.

1416
01:32:42,100 --> 01:32:46,300
And you Joseph Smith himself
said someday.

1417
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,300
Those things are going to be
done again when again.

1418
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:52,000
And and Joseph Smith says the
same things at the rabbi say,

1419
01:32:52,100 --> 01:32:54,200
which is when the temple is
built.

1420
01:32:55,100 --> 01:33:00,700
When there's a proper place to
do these ironic things, that

1421
01:33:00,700 --> 01:33:06,000
there will be a renewal at least
partly of the, the animal

1422
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,600
sacrifices, as part of the
restoration of all things.

1423
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:13,400
However, when I read the, when I
read Exodus and read about the

1424
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,300
the Passover Lamb, there's is no
Levites involved.

1425
01:33:16,500 --> 01:33:18,300
Left.
It's just the father of every

1426
01:33:18,300 --> 01:33:20,900
family is supposed to do it.
There's no Temple involved.

1427
01:33:20,900 --> 01:33:27,400
You do it at your, at your house
and so we we do that, we have,

1428
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,600
you know, a lamb that we've
raised in, you know, have one in

1429
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,600
my backyard right now, that's
getting bigger by the day and

1430
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:38,700
you will Slaughter and roast
that lamb.

1431
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,100
I built an oven in our backyard,
so and that'll feed.

1432
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:48,200
Excuse me, fellow feed.
Well, we usually have something

1433
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,200
like 60 to 70 people.
Wow, who come, and they course

1434
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:55,900
we don't only eat the lamb, but
we eat the lamb and and then eat

1435
01:33:55,900 --> 01:34:01,600
the bitter herbs, and the matzo,
and the Heart of satin and the

1436
01:34:01,608 --> 01:34:03,300
glasses of wine and have the
Seder.

1437
01:34:03,300 --> 01:34:06,300
And it's a good experience,
that's awesome.

1438
01:34:06,500 --> 01:34:10,400
And so when you doing that this
time, so this this year, it's

1439
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,100
going to be April 5th.
The evening of April 5th.

1440
01:34:13,100 --> 01:34:14,900
Evening of April 5th.
Yep.

1441
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:24,300
Will be Paso, Paso the day that
the quote, the day of Passover,

1442
01:34:24,300 --> 01:34:26,400
the day that the lamb is killed
is going to be the fifth.

1443
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,500
But then as the fifth goes into
the evening, you know, after

1444
01:34:30,500 --> 01:34:36,300
Sundown then that becomes the
15th day of the first month

1445
01:34:36,300 --> 01:34:40,900
which then is the first day of
unleavened bread which is when

1446
01:34:40,900 --> 01:34:42,300
the lamb is supposed to be
eaten.

1447
01:34:42,300 --> 01:34:46,900
So the lamb is killed on the
14th and then eaten with the,

1448
01:34:47,500 --> 01:34:50,600
the matzo and the bitter herbs
on the 15th of the evening of

1449
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,200
the 15th.
Wow.

1450
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:57,700
So it's kind of been an
emotional experience.

1451
01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:59,300
Oh, you can't.
Yeah.

1452
01:34:59,300 --> 01:35:04,700
You know, I'm definitely not a
vegetarian and I have no problem

1453
01:35:04,700 --> 01:35:07,500
going to the store, you know,
and buying this.

1454
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,900
Yeah.
Processed bloodless gutless

1455
01:35:11,900 --> 01:35:16,600
hairless odorless piece of meat,
you know wrapped in styrofoam

1456
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:23,500
and you know plastic wrap and
whatever faceless but yeah the

1457
01:35:23,500 --> 01:35:28,600
first time the first time that I
actually slaughtered a lamb for

1458
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:34,400
my family to eat.
It was hard and it still is hard

1459
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:35,900
guy.
Don't do it that often.

1460
01:35:35,900 --> 01:35:38,800
I mean do it once once a year.
You know.

1461
01:35:41,500 --> 01:35:44,400
I didn't know if I could do it
the first time actually, I mean

1462
01:35:44,700 --> 01:35:47,400
right.
Which is but it was it was a

1463
01:35:47,407 --> 01:35:49,800
little, it was surprising.
Actually we mentioned that

1464
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,700
before like I didn't I didn't I
didn't really think about it.

1465
01:35:53,700 --> 01:35:58,400
I didn't anticipate having a
problem but ma'am.

1466
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:05,100
I know when I went to, you know,
we cut its throat, you know, to

1467
01:36:05,700 --> 01:36:11,900
slaughter it but that was it
took a long time for me to get

1468
01:36:11,900 --> 01:36:16,400
up the Courage, you know I guess
I've got of Courage is the right

1469
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:21,300
word but just the strength to do
it and then and then the loss

1470
01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:24,500
that I felt was just palpable
to.

1471
01:36:24,500 --> 01:36:26,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

1472
01:36:26,300 --> 01:36:31,600
And Again, I think that's
designed for a reason, right?

1473
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:37,600
That's that's to show you if you
feel this way about Nana,

1474
01:36:39,700 --> 01:36:44,200
Imagine essentially, having
offer up your own firstborn, who

1475
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:48,500
did nothing wrong.
Yeah, lived the perfect life.

1476
01:36:48,700 --> 01:36:49,900
Yeah.
Yeah.

1477
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:56,000
I have my, until till my, when
my kids are young.

1478
01:36:57,900 --> 01:37:00,300
I don't really, you know, when
they're really little, I don't

1479
01:37:00,300 --> 01:37:02,000
really want him out there,
right?

1480
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,800
It's hard to understand.
But, but as soon as they're

1481
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:08,900
eight, That before that if
they're interested they can come

1482
01:37:08,900 --> 01:37:11,200
watch.
But after they turn 8, they're

1483
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,100
required.
Like you have to see what is

1484
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:19,700
being done on your behalf.
Now, you are now that you're old

1485
01:37:19,700 --> 01:37:22,300
enough that you're going to be
accountable, you need to

1486
01:37:23,100 --> 01:37:26,400
understand and I think that's a,
that's a powerful image, you

1487
01:37:26,407 --> 01:37:28,000
know.
Absolutely.

1488
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:34,000
It is. yeah, and I hunted for a
long time.

1489
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:35,900
I stopped talking about 5 years
ago.

1490
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,100
And mainly because I got lazy.
I'll admit that the last time I

1491
01:37:41,100 --> 01:37:44,000
woke up in October to a foot of
snow up in the mountains, I'm

1492
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,700
like, yeah, what are we doing
here?

1493
01:37:46,700 --> 01:37:51,100
What are we doing?
But No matter how many times I

1494
01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:53,600
went hunting.
There's still that twinge.

1495
01:37:53,600 --> 01:38:00,500
I mean there's still that that
feeling and I think that's how

1496
01:38:00,500 --> 01:38:01,900
he looks good.
Yeah, I think it's healthy.

1497
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,900
Yeah, I think that's healthy.
I think, I think it does two

1498
01:38:04,900 --> 01:38:07,700
things.
You become truly grateful for

1499
01:38:07,700 --> 01:38:12,600
that animal.
You, you become truly grateful.

1500
01:38:12,700 --> 01:38:16,100
The idea that this is something
anyone would take joy or

1501
01:38:16,100 --> 01:38:19,400
pleasure and is a silly.
Silly thing.

1502
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:22,800
Now I'm sure that there are
those and them, I would question

1503
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:25,700
ever having them around my kids.
But yeah.

1504
01:38:25,700 --> 01:38:27,900
So this isn't something that's
taken lightly.

1505
01:38:27,900 --> 01:38:31,400
And I could tell by the way, you
know, you look that that's

1506
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:32,900
something.
You take pretty seriously and

1507
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,100
weighs on you.
Yeah, absolutely.

1508
01:38:35,900 --> 01:38:39,100
So anyway, we usually have a
usually start.

1509
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:42,900
Those kind of an all day thing,
will have people show up the

1510
01:38:42,907 --> 01:38:45,800
house around noon, and then
there's all kinds of

1511
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:50,200
preparations, cutting up
vegetables. and we have a big

1512
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:55,100
with the kitchen turns into a
big matzo making factory

1513
01:38:55,400 --> 01:39:02,100
basically mix up dough and roll
it out flat and Bake it or

1514
01:39:02,108 --> 01:39:03,900
cookie tin pans, or things like
that.

1515
01:39:03,900 --> 01:39:08,100
And so I mean we just cook
hundreds of pieces of matzah and

1516
01:39:08,500 --> 01:39:11,000
people are chopping up
vegetables and getting tables

1517
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:15,700
set, people are outside you know
skinning and gutting and

1518
01:39:15,700 --> 01:39:20,400
roasting the lamb and so it's
kind of a production and it's an

1519
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:22,900
all-day thing and it's It's
great.

1520
01:39:22,900 --> 01:39:26,700
So, that's what we do to
celebrate, basically.

1521
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:31,400
And then, of course, and then we
actually just eat matzah the

1522
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:37,100
whole week, you know, right.
So yeah, it's good.

1523
01:39:37,100 --> 01:39:42,200
We are this year.
We're actually going to there's

1524
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:48,500
a lady in the ward, where I
live, who's has this enormous

1525
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:53,100
nativity set, Collection.
Hmm.

1526
01:39:53,800 --> 01:40:01,200
So on the evening of April 5th,
we're going to have the Seder

1527
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:05,600
and all of that and then the
morning of April 6th.

1528
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,100
We're going to go look at all
these neat.

1529
01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:11,800
She's going to set out a these
nativity sets for us to come.

1530
01:40:12,100 --> 01:40:15,100
Now, you look at, so that would
be really fun.

1531
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:19,200
That's awesome.
Well, dude, it's good stuff.

1532
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,300
Yeah, yeah, no.
I one other thing I will say is

1533
01:40:22,300 --> 01:40:30,200
that this first fruits, this
like I said, it's on, I

1534
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:35,800
subscribe to the Care Act idea,
which is also the sadducee idea,

1535
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:39,400
which is that it's supposed to
be on the Sunday during.

1536
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:40,700
Okay, leavened bread.
Okay.

1537
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:45,200
So actually, I just remembered
something else I want to

1538
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:46,900
mention.
This is a nice segue into it.

1539
01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:52,500
But this actually, this is this
is Easter right?

1540
01:40:52,500 --> 01:40:58,800
Easter is not always, but almost
always the Sunday during

1541
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,800
Passover.
The Feast of unleavened bread.

1542
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:03,200
Yeah, yeah.
If you swing, we're sorry, yes,

1543
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:06,300
too big to be precise to which
is, which is in common parlance

1544
01:41:06,300 --> 01:41:08,700
often called Passover week of
Passover.

1545
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:16,600
So that's fine. now, interesting
thing about that though, is the

1546
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:21,900
At the council.
I mean, this goes to, this goes

1547
01:41:21,900 --> 01:41:23,600
to the great apostasy here.
We talk about the great

1548
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,100
apostasy.
We're going straight to the

1549
01:41:25,100 --> 01:41:29,700
next, ER, yeah, yeah.
So 325 Council in nicaea

1550
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:36,900
Constantine is presiding and one
of the big things that they

1551
01:41:37,300 --> 01:41:40,600
attempt to accomplish here.
Well, let me back up here.

1552
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,800
When, you know, when Mormons
talk about the great apostasy,

1553
01:41:44,300 --> 01:41:45,700
there's a couple of parts to it,
right?

1554
01:41:45,700 --> 01:41:49,100
One is, there's like physical.
Incubation.

1555
01:41:49,300 --> 01:41:54,100
And, you know, the apostles are
being killed off and, you know,

1556
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:56,700
maybe other other priesthood
leaders, right?

1557
01:41:56,700 --> 01:42:01,200
So there's this interruption in
the transmission of priesthood

1558
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:03,800
priesthood.
And then, the other thing that

1559
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:08,900
we often talk about is this this
corrupting influence of pagan,

1560
01:42:08,900 --> 01:42:14,000
Greek, Greek, Pagan, and
philosophical ideas, corrupting

1561
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:17,800
Doctrine, and things like that.
The thing that we don't talk

1562
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:22,500
about those, Is that there was
there was an intentional and

1563
01:42:22,500 --> 01:42:28,000
this happened at Nicea which was
the first the first Council as

1564
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:32,700
far as I know like the first
church Council, but one of their

1565
01:42:32,700 --> 01:42:38,400
goals was we got to figure out
how to get rid of all of this

1566
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,000
Israelite stuff.
That is encumbering the church

1567
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,800
and we want the church to be
non-israelite as possible.

1568
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,800
We want to have nothing.
Thing in common with those

1569
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:53,500
detestable Jews.
And so we're going to calculate

1570
01:42:53,500 --> 01:42:55,000
Easter a different.
We're going to we're not going

1571
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:58,000
to rely on the Jewish calendar
to calculate Eastern, although

1572
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,800
they basically came up with a
different way to calculate it.

1573
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,700
That ends up being equivalent
pretty close.

1574
01:43:03,900 --> 01:43:09,500
Yeah, but but yeah, there was
the Jew, any of the any Jewish

1575
01:43:09,500 --> 01:43:12,000
Bishops and there were still at
this time, they were still

1576
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:17,200
Jewish Bishops, they were all
excluded from the council.

1577
01:43:18,100 --> 01:43:24,800
And they made these decisions to
intentionally get rid of Jewish

1578
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,900
ideas.
And one of them was the, the

1579
01:43:26,900 --> 01:43:30,900
observance of Passover.
This was actually a big part of

1580
01:43:30,900 --> 01:43:36,600
the apostasy that eventually
became Catholicism, is we need

1581
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,900
to root out these.
There's these Christians are

1582
01:43:39,900 --> 01:43:44,900
still observing Passover and the
Feast of unleavened bread and we

1583
01:43:44,900 --> 01:43:46,700
do not want them to do that
anymore.

1584
01:43:48,500 --> 01:43:52,000
And you know, we're going to
we're going to celebrate Easter

1585
01:43:52,700 --> 01:43:56,500
and eventually, you know, this,
this turns into egg-laying

1586
01:43:56,500 --> 01:43:59,000
rabbits and you're celebrating
right.

1587
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,600
Resurrection.
Which is just so weird but but

1588
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,800
we'd rather have that and
anything to do with Exodus and

1589
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,700
right and the symbolism involved
there.

1590
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:16,300
And the there were kind of
holdouts, I think early

1591
01:44:16,300 --> 01:44:19,800
Christians who continue to sin.
Celebrate this up until about

1592
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:25,000
400 ad when the church is
finally able to stamp it out

1593
01:44:25,900 --> 01:44:28,400
from being practiced in
Christianity.

1594
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:34,100
So, so when I look at keeping
the these feasts and Passover in

1595
01:44:34,100 --> 01:44:36,000
particular, like I just consider
it.

1596
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:41,000
As part of the restoration and
this is like, pushing back like

1597
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,200
undoing the things that were
done as part of apostasy the

1598
01:44:46,208 --> 01:44:49,600
great apostasy.
So are we?

1599
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:55,000
There's no that's awesome.
I had again, my good buddy whose

1600
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:59,000
dad was a rabbi.
He told me because I was really

1601
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,800
concerned, right?
I was thinking when I was first

1602
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,500
thinking about, you know, these
feasts and that sort of thing.

1603
01:45:04,500 --> 01:45:09,000
When I lived in Maryland, I was
always super nervous because I

1604
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:13,600
didn't want to, I wouldn't want
somebody creeping into the

1605
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:15,500
temple.
Who wasn't supposed to be there.

1606
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:17,600
Likewise I didn't want to be
that guy.

1607
01:45:17,700 --> 01:45:20,200
Creeping in on somebody else's
tradition, that shouldn't be

1608
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:25,500
there to my surprise, even
Joel's dad was like, no, we

1609
01:45:25,500 --> 01:45:29,400
welcome it.
He's like, can we join us?

1610
01:45:29,700 --> 01:45:36,000
Yeah, I mean, my first, my first
seder was was at his house homey

1611
01:45:36,300 --> 01:45:40,200
and, and I'm so glad I got to do
it and he explained it.

1612
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,200
He was like, no, no, he's like
if you're a Christian, if you

1613
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:45,600
profess to follow Christ.
Why wouldn't you do this?

1614
01:45:46,300 --> 01:45:49,000
He's like, okay.
Well, Oh, that's a very why

1615
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,700
wouldn't you do this?
That was Jesus is religion, was

1616
01:45:51,700 --> 01:45:53,100
it not?
Absolutely.

1617
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,900
And I was like, well, yeah, you
know you got a point.

1618
01:45:55,900 --> 01:46:00,500
So I think sometimes we feel
like, well, that's there's this

1619
01:46:00,500 --> 01:46:05,700
is ours and I think it's like
you were saying a hangover from

1620
01:46:06,500 --> 01:46:08,900
from from the apostasy.
Absolutely.

1621
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,100
Yeah.
And there's one more thing I

1622
01:46:13,100 --> 01:46:19,400
want to bring up is that
Passover, Passover is a part of

1623
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:23,400
the restoration to not just in
not just keeping the Seder like

1624
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,100
I like is I mean we don't really
have evidence that Joe Smith,

1625
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:34,100
kept a Seder for example, right?
But but the imagery of Passover

1626
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:37,700
is embedded in the fabric of the
restoration.

1627
01:46:37,700 --> 01:46:40,600
So ancient lie.
We talked about Israel being

1628
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:45,900
born as a nation on Passover.
That That happened again.

1629
01:46:45,900 --> 01:46:50,400
That was Passover, is the day.
The church was re-established,

1630
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:59,700
April, 6th, 1830.
The April 6th 1830 was the 13th

1631
01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:04,700
of the first month but they, the
meeting was into the evening, so

1632
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,600
it was on the 14th.
It was on Passover.

1633
01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:13,500
Now, when the church was
re-established in, he's okay.

1634
01:47:13,900 --> 01:47:17,000
And then There's another
interesting thing that's part of

1635
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:24,800
the Seder and this is kind of a
mysterious thing, but when but

1636
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:28,000
you Mormons will appreciate the
symbolism here, is that there's

1637
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:32,000
always this place at the table
left for Elijah, right?

1638
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:38,700
Right.
And the it's interesting because

1639
01:47:38,700 --> 01:47:44,300
there's in are in the standard
works, there's one prophecy that

1640
01:47:44,300 --> 01:47:49,500
is Repeated in all of them and
it's only 11 prophecy and that

1641
01:47:49,500 --> 01:47:52,700
is the great.
And Dreadful day of the Lord,

1642
01:47:53,500 --> 01:47:58,700
when Elijah will come to turn
the hearts of the father's to

1643
01:47:58,700 --> 01:48:00,200
the children and the children to
their fathers.

1644
01:48:00,500 --> 01:48:02,900
That's something you li zhiting.
Like it's one of his missions

1645
01:48:02,900 --> 01:48:06,400
and that's repeated in the
Bible, the doctrine covenants,

1646
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,800
the pro great price and the Book
of Mormon whole have that

1647
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:13,800
process, right heated.
So you Mormons are look, I

1648
01:48:13,808 --> 01:48:17,600
appreciate that too, but that
symbolism and so, yeah, they'll

1649
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:22,300
They'll have a they'll have the
table set and the family will be

1650
01:48:22,300 --> 01:48:25,700
sitting around the table but
there will be a gap, right?

1651
01:48:26,300 --> 01:48:28,200
Where Elijah is place will be
set.

1652
01:48:28,700 --> 01:48:35,000
And you know a Mormon looking at
that might might think about

1653
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,400
ceiling.
I'm like, oh look if a lot when

1654
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:41,300
Elijah comes than that, actually
completes the family, right?

1655
01:48:42,900 --> 01:48:48,300
So Now that prophecy about the
Elijah coming that was film

1656
01:48:48,300 --> 01:48:49,800
incur fulfilled in Kirtland,
right?

1657
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:50,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

1658
01:48:50,700 --> 01:48:57,200
The the Old Testament doesn't
Doesn't have time associated

1659
01:48:57,200 --> 01:49:00,200
with that.
But for some reason and I don't

1660
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:03,300
know the reasons for this but
for some reason that in the

1661
01:49:03,308 --> 01:49:06,400
Jewish mind has been associated
with Pat, they were looking for

1662
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:10,300
that to occur at Passover time
Feast of unleavened bread.

1663
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:17,100
And yes, you're right.
So, April 3rd, 18 was at 32.

1664
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,900
I don't remember.
I believe it was 32.

1665
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:23,600
Let's see, I can actually, I
could be wrong.

1666
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:29,100
Let me just look up real quick,
but anyway, yeah, right, the,

1667
01:49:29,700 --> 01:49:33,700
the dedication of the Kirtland
Temple.

1668
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:43,200
Elijah comes and That's good.
Hmm, oh gosh.

1669
01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:49,600
Well it doesn't matter.
I'm just looking here through

1670
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:53,200
the Seder there's a couple other
things I want to mention that

1671
01:49:53,800 --> 01:50:01,700
are just kind of cool here.
It is. 1836 April 30 1836?

1672
01:50:03,900 --> 01:50:06,900
Okay another one.
Another big one is that the

1673
01:50:06,900 --> 01:50:11,300
Passover is When you when you're
slaughtering lamb, you're not

1674
01:50:11,300 --> 01:50:14,900
allowed to break any bones.
Hmm.

1675
01:50:15,100 --> 01:50:20,800
And Jesus fulfilled, this too,
because when he was crucified,

1676
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:27,600
he actually the the Roman
soldier came to break his legs,

1677
01:50:28,100 --> 01:50:32,400
to make sure that it was done.
But decided to poke him with a

1678
01:50:32,407 --> 01:50:36,000
spear instead and, and he was
dead already.

1679
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:37,500
And so, I know bones were
broken.

1680
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:42,700
So this was fulfillment of that,
the Passover ritual as well.

1681
01:50:43,100 --> 01:50:47,500
So, Way amazing stuff.
So, yeah.

1682
01:50:47,500 --> 01:50:52,500
So we have those those other
fulfillments in as part of the

1683
01:50:52,508 --> 01:50:57,400
restoration, these the
establishment of the church, the

1684
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,400
birth of the Latter-day church
and the the visit of Elijah.

1685
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:04,000
They're so pretty cool stuff.
That's awesome.

1686
01:51:04,500 --> 01:51:09,200
So that book, the Haggadah, the
Haggadah is that available

1687
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:11,800
online somewhere.
You can get them online.

1688
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:17,100
This one is what this one is.
One that That my father put

1689
01:51:17,100 --> 01:51:20,300
together, okay?
He edited and compiled, this and

1690
01:51:20,300 --> 01:51:27,900
then and then I've kind of added
to it since and added some extra

1691
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,600
added recipes to the back and
stuff for the matzah and other

1692
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:36,200
things.
So, but if you, if you'd like a

1693
01:51:36,208 --> 01:51:37,700
copy, I'll leave this one with
you.

1694
01:51:38,500 --> 01:51:42,100
Oh, thank you!
I have Kevin Kraut Prince.

1695
01:51:42,100 --> 01:51:46,000
These for me.
Oh, does he if One wants a copy

1696
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:52,800
of my hagaddah, you just go to.
Old Pioneer Press in Santaquin

1697
01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:57,200
Utah, and Kevin crowd.
Look, I've got some some haroset

1698
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,500
on there that someone spilled.
It's all good, it's all good.

1699
01:52:01,100 --> 01:52:04,600
And ask ask if you can, if he'd
print out, a copy of Joshua,

1700
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,800
Erickson's nice, Passover,
seder.

1701
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,100
And you'll know exactly what
you're talking about.

1702
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:15,200
Yeah, dude, I'll tell you what
as we went through these I'm

1703
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:22,600
continually amazed at how many.
Episodes in the restoration

1704
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:27,000
historically, just continue to
land on these days over and over

1705
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:30,400
and over.
Is definitely using his calendar

1706
01:52:30,500 --> 01:52:31,600
still.
Yep.

1707
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,200
Absolutely.
Whether we whether we want to

1708
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,200
admit it or not whether we are
aware.

1709
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:37,400
Yep.
Yes, right.

1710
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:42,000
And and when I think it also
speaks to this idea of there's

1711
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,600
some responsibility if you're
going to call yourself Israel.

1712
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:51,500
There are there are things that
are required of you and even if

1713
01:52:51,500 --> 01:52:55,700
you think that you don't want to
do those things.

1714
01:52:56,700 --> 01:52:59,500
If you're really committed,
you'll find yourself there.

1715
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:01,700
Yeah, whether you want to or
not.

1716
01:53:02,100 --> 01:53:04,200
Yeah.
And that's just just kind of the

1717
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:09,300
way it is.
And Yeah, I'm just continually

1718
01:53:09,300 --> 01:53:13,900
amazed at the Precision at which
it's all ages.

1719
01:53:13,900 --> 01:53:18,900
All unfolded to stay in in
lockstep with them.

1720
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:22,100
So, in this was the last one of
these, right?

1721
01:53:22,100 --> 01:53:24,200
They'll one more.
What weeks yet?

1722
01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:25,300
Feast of Weeks.
Okay.

1723
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:28,900
Also write, as Shavuot also
known as Pentecost.

1724
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:31,400
Nice.
Nice.

1725
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:35,300
All right.
We miss anything, anything think

1726
01:53:35,300 --> 01:53:39,200
that's, there's much more that
we could talk about as far as

1727
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,400
details.
But this is, this is a good

1728
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:44,300
overview.
Awesome, all right, well dude,

1729
01:53:45,500 --> 01:53:48,600
as always I appreciate it.
Pleasure, bye everybody.

1730
