ITEM T 1375. WE ARE GOING
THROUGH THE BOOK AND 1 OF THE
THINGS WE HAVE TO DO IS REMIND
YOU THAT IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING IN
THE BOOK ON THE EUCHARIST YOU
ARE ON PAGE 28. 28. IN THIS,
REMEMBER THIS SECTION WE ARE
DEALING WITH HERE IS ON THE OLD
TESTAMENT BACKGROUND AND WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON ESPECIALLY
IN LIGHT OF THE LETTER TO THE
HEBREWS, IS THAT JESUS IS A
SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS AND
UNDERSTANDING HIS SAVING DEATH
AS A SACRIFICE FOR SIN IS
ESSENTIAL. THE BACKGROUND FOR
THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOUND IN THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEAST
OF YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT, THAT IS IN THE BOOK
OF LEVITICUS, AND IN HEBREWS
ESPECIALLY CHAPTERS 9 AND 10.
THOSE HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE
AREAS THAT WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSING
ON. LEVITICUS 16 AND HEBREWS 9
AND 10. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT
FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. WE HAVE
TALKED ALREADY ABOUT THE SECTION
THAT THE IN THE SACRIFICE OF 2
GOATS, ONE WAS THE GOAT FOR THE
LORD THAT THE PRIEST KILLED. HE
KILLED A BULL FOR HIS SINS AND A
GOAT FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE
PEOPLE. AND THEN WE WERE TALKING
LAST TIME HOW IN HEBREWS THEY
BRING UP AN IMPORTANT POINT. WHY
IS THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST
ON THE CROSS SO SUPERIOR TO THE
ANCIENT SACRIFICE OF THE BULL
AND THE GOAT. WHAT MAKES THE
DIFFERENCE? THE ISSUE IS THIS.
IT IS NOT ONLY BECAUSE JESUS IS
A HUMAN BEING, THIS IS IMPORTANT
BECAUSE AS A HUMAN BEING WHICH
BY THE WAY JESUS HUMANITY IS THE
POINT OF HEBREWS 2 AND 3.
CHAPTER 2 AND 3 OF HEBREWS
FOCUSES ON JESUS BEING TRULY A
HUMAN BEING. TRULY MAN. WHILE
CHAPTER 1 OF HEBREWS FOCUSES ON
HIM BEING GOD AND IN TERMS OF
HIS HUMANITY HE IS A BETTER
OFFERING THAN A BULL OR A GOAT
BECAUSE A BULL AND A GOAT CANNOT
SIN. THEY ARE SIMPLY SYMBOLS OF
OUR SIN BUT THEY CANNOT HAVE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY. THEY DO NOT HAVE
FREE WILL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE
FREE CHOICE. THEY CANNOT SIN AND
THEY CANNOT BE VIRTUOUS. THEY
CAN BE GOOD ANIMALS FOLLOWING
THEIR ANIMAL NATURE BUT THEY
CANNOT BE VIRTUOUS THEY CAN TAKE
THEIR INSTINCTS AND OUT OF SOME
ANIMALS WITH A LITTLE HIGHER
BRAIN LEVEL AND SUCH MIGHT HAVE
AN AFFECTION FOR US, DOGS
ESPECIALLY CAN BE VERY HELPFUL
AND SOMETIMES THEY SAVE PEOPLE'S
LIVES. ONCE IN A WHILE A CAT
WILL DO THAT. NOT OFTEN. BUT
CATS WILL DO THAT. BUT IT IS NOT
QUITE WHAT WE WOULD SAY ABOUT
HEROIC VIRTUE. THEY ARE NOT
CAPABLE OF THAT. A HUMAN BEING
IS. HUMAN BEINGS HAVE
RESPONSIBILITY AND RIGHTS.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE FREE WILL. SO
THAT GIVES A HUMAN SACRIFICE
MORE VALUE. HOWEVER, ANCIENT
ISRAEL UNLIKE ALL THE NEIGHBORS,
THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT DISTRICT
ESPECIALLY THE CANAANITES WOULD
DO HUMAN SACRIFICE. THE
EGYPTIANS DID NOT BUT THE
CANAANITES DID. AND SO DID A FEW
OTHER FOLKS DO HUMAN SACRIFICES.
SO BUT ISRAEL DID NOT. IT WAS
FORBIDDEN TO THEM. SO THIS IS A
VERY ODD THING. BUT AT LEAST IT
IS A HUMAN BEING WITH WILL TO BE
ABLE TO CHOOSE TO GIVE HIMSELF
WHERE AS THE BULL AND THE GOAT
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON IN
THE SACRIFICE. A BULL AND A GOAT
HAVE NO FREE WILL. THEY CANNOT
MAKE A CHOICE. THEY DO NOT
REALIZE WHAT THE SACRIFICE IS
FOR. THEY HAVE NO CLUE. NONE.
CHRIST IS A HUMAN DID BUT THEN
SECONDLY HE IS ALSO DIVINE. GOD
MADE FLESH. SO HE IS FULLY HUMAN
AND FULLY GOD. NOW YOU SEE THAT
FOR INSTANCE NOT ONLY IN HEBREWS
CHAPTER 1, BUT ALSO YOU SEEK IT
ELSEWHERE FOR INSTANCE IN
COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2:9. IT SAYS
FOR IN HIM THE THAT IS CHRIST,
OR IN HIM THE WHOLE FULLNESS OF
DEITY DWELLS BODILY.
THAT HE IS TRULY GOD. THE
FULLNESS OF DEITY DWELLS BODILY
AND HIM. THIS IS KEY. ABSOLUTELY
KEY. BECAUSE WHAT IT MEANS IS
THAT THE LORD JESUS IS AN
INFINITE OFFERING. THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT A BULL AND A GOAT
CANNOT BE NOR CAN ANY ORDINARY
HUMAN BEING BE AN INFINITE
SACRIFICE. NOR CAN A HUMAN BEING
BE AN ETERNAL SACRIFICE. ONLY
GOD MADE FLESH, JESUS CHRIST,
THE ONLY ONE WHO IS GOD MADE
FLESH, HE IS TRULY HUMAN AND
THEREFORE HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY
AND FREE WILL TO CHOOSE TO BE A
SACRIFICE FOR HUMAN SINS AND
BECAUSE HE IS DYING FOR THE SAKE
OF HUMAN SINS IS APPROPRIATE
THAT A HUMAN DIE FOR OUR SINS.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND HE IS ALSO
THE INFINITE AND ETERNAL GOD AND
AS SUCH HIS SACRIFICE IS
INFINITE. IT IS ABLE TO BE
EFFECTIVE TO FORGIVE THE SINS OF
ANY AND EVERYBODY. THERE IS NO
SIN THAT IS MORE STRONG THAN THE
DEATH OF GOD MADE MAN ON THE
CROSS. NONE OF OUR SINS, NOT
EVEN MURDER IS MORE POWERFUL
THAN THE DEATH OF GOD MADE FLESH
DYING ON THE CROSS. NOT ONLY IS
IT INFINITE BUT JESUS CHRIST
DEATH IS ETERNAL. REMEMBER GOD
HAS TRUE ETERNITY. YOU AND I
HAVE A DERIVED ETERNITY. THAT IS
MY TERM FOR IT. THE REASON I SAY
IT IS DERIVED, WE DID NOT EXIST
FROM ALL TIME. GOD DOES. WE WERE
CREATED AT A SPECIFIC MOMENT AT
THE MOMENT OF OUR CONCEPTION,
GOD CREATED OUR IMMORTAL SOUL SO
THE SOUL HAD A BEGINNING, BUT IT
WILL NOT HAVE AN END. IT WILL
NOT CEASE TO EXIST. LAST WEEK IF
YOU SAW THAT HE WT IN LIVE WITH
SCOTT HAHN WE WENT THROUGH HIS
BOOK ABOUT HOPE TO DIE. A GREAT
BOOK. HE TALKS ABOUT THAT VERY
IMPORTANTLY THAT ONCE WE ARE
CONCEIVED ONCE EXIST OUR SOUL
WILL NEVER DIE. IT IS ETERNAL.
BUT WITH GOD HE IS ETERNAL. THE
FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT
EXISTED FROM BEFORE ALL TIME.
AND ARE TRULY ETERNAL. AND AS
SUCH THAT ALSO MEANS AND THIS IS
SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND THE MASS AND THE
OTHER SACRAMENTS. NAMELY,
BECAUSE HE IS VERY MUCH SOMEONE
WHO IS ETERNAL, THERE IS NO
PERIOD OF TIME WHICH IS EXEMPT
FROM THE POWER OF HIS SACRIFICE.
THAT IS WHY ST. PETER IN HIS 1ST
EPISTLE CHAPTER 3 VERSE 18
THROUGH 21 TALKS ABOUT HOW JESUS
HAD GONE DOWN TO THE PRISON AND
PREACHED TO ALL THE SOULS THAT
HAD DIED BEFORE HIS DEATH. HIS
SAVING DEATH ON THE CROSS
REDEEMED THE SAINTS OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT. BUT HE ALSO BECAUSE
HE IS ETERNAL, HIS DEATH REDEEMS
ON INTO THE FUTURE. UNTIL THE
END OF THE WORLD. SO LONG AS
THERE ARE SINNERS. THIS IS ALSO
WHY THE MASS IS A
RE-PRESENTATION OF THE DEATH OF
JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS AND OF
HIS RESURRECTION BECAUSE AND WE
WILL TALK A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS
AS WE GO THROUGH IT BUT BECAUSE
IT IS GOD WHO DIED ON THE CROSS.
THE POWER OF HIS SAVING DEATH
REMAINS AVAILABLE AT EVERY MASS.
SOME FOLKS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH
MISUNDERSTAND MASS AND SAY ARE
YOU KILLING JESUS AGAIN AND
AGAIN? NO! NO. ANYTIME ANYBODY
ASKING THAT TELL THEM NO OF
COURSE NOT. JESUS CHRIST IS
ETERNAL. AND IT IS HIS DEATH
ONCE AND FOR ALL PRESENT FOR ALL
ETERNITY, THAT IS WHAT WE
CELEBRATE AT MASS. WHAT HAPPENS
IS WHAT IS ETERNALLY PRESENT TO
JESUS CHRIST BECOMES PRESENT TO
US IN THE MASS. THAT IS WHAT WE
MEAN. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THAT IS WHY HIS DEATH IS AN
INFINITE VALUE UNLIKE THAT OF
THE SCAPEGOAT SO THAT ST. PAUL
SAID IN COLOSSIANS 2:14, THAT HE
RACING THE RECORD THAT STOOD
AGAINST US WITH ITS LEGAL
DEMANDS. HE SET THIS ASIDE,
NAILING IT TO THE CROSS.
SO OUR SINS THE SINS I COMMIT
NOW GET NAILED TO THE CROSS AND
THIS IS THE INFINITE AND ETERNAL
VALUE OF HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS.
THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. NOW
LET US GO ON BECAUSE WE ALSO SEE
THAT ON YOM KIPPUR REMEMBER I
MENTIONED HOW THE ONE GOAT WAS
SACRIFICED IN HIS BLOOD
SPRINKLED AT THE IN THE TEMPLE
AT THE HOLY OF HOLIES AND ON THE
ALTAR OF INCENSE? BUT THEN THE
SCAPEGOAT WAS LED OUT OF THE
CITY TO DIE OUTSIDE. OKAY? WHILE
THEY WERE LEADING THAT GOAT
OUTSIDE THE CITY THE HIGH PRIEST
WAS STILL IN THE TEMPLE. AND HE
RETURNED TO THE BULL AND THE
GOAT HE HAD SACRIFICED BECAUSE
ALL HE HAD DONE WAS TAKEN HIS
KNIFE AND PUT IT INTO THE HEART
AND TOOK IT OUT AND COLLECTED
THE BLOOD AS THEY DIED AND
SPRINKLED THE BLOOD. NOW HE HAS
TO GO TO THE TENT. AND HE HAS TO
CONTINUE THE SACRIFICE OF THE
BULL AND THE GOAT. YOU SEE IN
LEVITICUS 16:23 - 25. THEN AARON
SHALL ENTER THE TENT OF MEETING,
AND SHALL TAKE OFF THE LINEN
VESTMENTS THAT HE HAD PUT ON
WHEN HE WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE
AND LEAVE THEM THERE. SO ALL THE
CLOTHING HE WORE INSIDE OF THE
HOLY OF HOLIES HE LEFT THEM
THERE.
HE SHALL BATHE HIS BODY IN
WATER. THAT IS ANOTHER BATH HE
HAD TO DO IN A SPECIAL TUB.
BATHE HIS BODY IN A HOLY PLACE
AND PUT ON HIS VESTMENTS. SOME
NEW VESTMENTS. THE INITIAL
COME OUT AND OFFER IS BURNT
OFFERING AND THE BURNT OFFERING
OF THE PEOPLE, MAKING ATONEMENT
FOR HIMSELF AND FOR THE PEOPLE.
THE FAT OF THE SIN OFFERING HE
SHALL TURN INTO SMOKE ON THE
ALTAR. SO HE WOULD BURN WHAT HE
WOULD DO IS SKIN THE BULL AND
THE GOAT AND THEN TAKE OUT AND
CLEAN THEM UP TAKE OUT THE
INTESTINES AND STOMACH AND ALL
THE OTHER ORGANS, AND PUT THOSE
ORGANS INTO THE SKIN OF THE
ANIMAL AND 1 OF THE LEVITES WITH
THE ASSISTANCE WOULD TAKE IT YOU
SEE THAT DESCRIBED IN THE
MISHNAH IN THE YOMA WHERE IT
SAYS THAT THE HIGH PRIEST CAME
TO THE BULL AND THE GOAT THAT
WERE TO BE BURNED. HE CUT THEM
OPEN AND TOOK OUT THE
SACRIFICIAL PORTIONS AND PUT
THEM ON A TRAY. THAT WOULD BE
FOR INSTANCE SACRIFICIAL
PORTIONS MEANING THE LIVER AND
THE KIDNEYS AND THE SPLEEN. ALL
OF THOSE ORGANS. AND BURNED THEM
ON THE ALTAR. HE TWISTED THEM
AROUND CARRYING POLLS AND TOOK
THEM OUT TO THE PLACE OF
BURNING. THE REST OF THE OFFAL
WAS PUT INTO THE SKIN AND TIED
IT AND A LEVITE TOOK THAT OUT
AND YOU COULD NOT BURN THAT
BECAUSE IT WOULD BE NASTY. THEN
HE WOULD TAKE THE REST OF THE
BULL AND HE WOULD EARN ITS MEAT.
NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE
COULD NOT EAT THE MEAT OF THE
SIN OFFERINGS. PEACE OFFERINGS
WHEN THEY OFFERED A PEACE
OFFERING, THEY COULD EAT THE
MEAT. THEY COULD COOK THE MEAT
AND EAT IT. BUT HERE THEY WOULD
PUT IT ON THE ALTAR AND SLOWLY
THEY WOULD BURN IT. IT WOULD BE
COOKING BUT COOKING UNTIL IT IS
BLACKENED. OKAY. TO DESTROY ALL
THE MEAT BECAUSE IT WAS AN
ATONEMENT A SIN OFFERING. AND HE
WOULD OFFER THE BULL FOR HIS
SINS AND THE GOAT FOR THE SINS
OF PEOPLE. NOW I KNOW A LOT OF
YOU FOLKS DO NOT DO THIS KIND OF
STUFF MUCH. I HAVE DONE IT MANY
TIMES NOT AS A SACRIFICE BUT
JUST IN TERMS OF GETTING FOOD.
BUT THIS IS PART OF LIFE. WE
LIKE ONE LADY I EVEN ASK, SHE
ASKED HOW CAN YOU HUNT AND KILL
THE POOR DEAR AND THINGS? YOU
KNOW I SAID TO HER DO YOU GO TO
THE GROCERY STORE AND BUY MEAT?
SHE SAID YES I SO THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN YOU AND ME IS THAT YOU
GET TO HIRE PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR
YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE. WE DO NOT DO IT
OURSELVES MUCH BUT SOME OF US
DO. THAT WAS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING
NOW I KNOW IT IS NOT THE NORMAL
THING THAT WE STUDY IN THE BIBLE
BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND
THIS KIND OF SCENE OF CLEANING
AND SKINNING THE ANIMALS AND
BURNING THEM WAS JUST NORMAL
PART OF LIFE. IT WAS EVERYDAY
LIFE. AND PEOPLE DID NOT WINCE
AT THAT. WHAT THEY WOULD BE
SURPRISED THAT IS THAT YOU GO
AND GET YOUR MEAT AND SOME
STYROFOAM TRAY COVERED WITH
SARAN WRAP. THEY WOULD SAY WHY
WOULD YOU DO THAT? THESE ARE 2
DIFFERENT WORLDS AND TO
UNDERSTAND THE BIBLICAL WORLD
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ITS OWN
INTERIOR SIDE. SO THAT IS WHAT
THEY WOULD DO. ALL RIGHT. WE
WILL TAKE A BREAK AND GO INTO A
LITTLE BIT MORE THIS. AND TRY TO
FINISH UP THESE EXPLANATIONS OF
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT SO PLEASE
STAY WITH US.
[GUITAR THEME MUSIC]
[GUITAR THEME MUSIC]
ALL RIGHT. NOW WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT HOW THE PRIEST PUT THE
MEAT OF THE BULL AND THE GOAT ON
THE ALTAR AND IT WOULD BE
COOKING UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY
BLACK. IT WOULD BE JUST
BLACKENED. AND AS HE IS DOING
THAT, YOU COULD JUST SIT AROUND
AND WATCH BUT THIS WAS ALSO A
TIME IN WHICH HE WOULD READ FROM
SCRIPTURE. HE WOULD READ
LEVITICUS 16 THAT IS GOING BACK
OVER WHAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH
ALREADY ABOUT THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT. HE WOULD READ THAT
SECTION ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
AND READ IT SLOWLY WHILE THE
MEAT WAS COOKING AND AGAIN HE
WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EAT ANY OF
IT. BUT THEN HE WOULD ALSO READ
LEVITICUS 23 ESPECIALLY VERSUS
26 - 32. THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD
READ AS THEY WERE SACRIFICING
THE MEAT. THE LORD SPOKE TO
MOSES, SAYING, NOW, THE 10TH DAY
OF THIS 7TH MONTH IS THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT. IT SHALL BE A HOLY
CONVOCATION FOR YOU. YOU SHALL
DENY YOURSELVES AND PRESENT THE
LORD'S OFFERING BY FIRE. AND YOU
SHALL DO NO WORK DURING THE
ENTIRE DAY. FOR IT IS A DAY OF
ATONEMENT. TO MAKE ATONEMENT ON
YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE LORD YOUR
GOD. FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT
PRACTICE SELF-DENIAL, WHICH
MEANS FASTING BY THE WAY, DURING
THAT ENTIRE DAY SHALL BE CUT OFF
FROM THE PEOPLE. AND ANYONE WHO
DOES ANY WORK DURING THAT ENTIRE
DAY, SUCH AS A ONE I WILL
DESTROY FROM THE MIDST OF THE
PEOPLE. YOU SHALL DO NO WORK. IT
IS A STATUTE FOR EVER THROUGHOUT
YOUR GENERATIONS IN ALL YOUR
SETTLEMENTS. IT SHALL BE TO YOU
A SABBATH OF COMPLETE REST, AND
YOU SHALL DENY YOURSELVES. ON
THE 9TH DAY OF THE MONTH AT THE
EVENING, FROM EVENING TO EVENING
YOU SHALL KEEP YOUR SABBATH.
IN FACT JEWISH PEOPLE DO THAT.
THEY DO NOT EAT. THEY FAST VERY
SERIOUSLY AND THEY REFRAIN FROM
WORK. WHEN YOU GO TO THE HOLY
LAND IF YOU ARE THERE AT YOM
KIPPUR, NOTHING IS HAPPENING
THAT DAY. SO IT IS A VERY SOLEMN
DAY. HE WOULD ALSO FROM MEMORY
READ OR PRONOUNCE HE WOULD HAVE
THIS MEMORIZED, HE WOULD READ
FROM NUMBERS 29:7 - 11. IT SAYS,
ON THE 10TH DAY OF THIS 7TH
MONTH, YOU SHALL HAVE A HOLY
CONVOCATION AND DENY YOURSELVES.
YOU SHALL DO NO WORK. YOU SHALL
OFFER A BURNT OFFERING TO THE
LORD, PLEASING ODOR. REMEMBER
THE PLEASING ODOR WOULD BE THE
SMELL OF THE COOKING MEAT. UNTIL
HE GETS BURN. BUT IT WOULD BE
COOKING GRADUALLY. ONE YOUNG
BULL, ONE RAM, 7 MALE LAMBS A
YEAR OLD. THEY SHALL BE WITHOUT
BLEMISH. THEIR GRAIN OFFERING
SHALL BE OF CHOICE FLOUR MIXED
WITH OIL, 3/10 OF AN ALPHA FOR
THE BULL, 2/10 FOR THE ONE RAM
AND 1/10 FOR EACH OF THE 7 LAMBS
AND WITH ONE MALE GOAT FOR A SIN
OFFERING IN ADDITION TO THE SIN
OFFERING OF ATONEMENT AND THE
REGULAR BURNT OFFERING AND IS
GRAIN OFFERING AND THEIR DRINK
OFFERINGS. SO ALL OF THESE WOULD
BE OFFERED. AND HE WOULD READ
THOSE PASSAGES. THEN HE WOULD
PRONOUNCE 8 BENEDICTIONS. 8
BENEDICTIONS. THIS IS FROM THE
THANKSGIVING AND FORGIVENESS OF
SINS FORGIVE ME BENEDICTIONS FOR
THE LAW THE TEMPLE SERVICE IN
THE THANKSGIVING ITSELF IT WOULD
BE A BENEDICTION FOR THE
FORGIVENESS OF SINS THE TEMPLE,
BUILDING, THE ISRAELITE PEOPLE
THE PRIEST THAN A GENERAL
PRAYER. YOU SEE THAT IN THE
MISHNAH YOMA CHAPTER 7:1. THE
HIGH PRIEST THEN CAME TO READ
AFTER THE DEATH ON LEVITICUS
16:1 - 34 AND THE BIGGEST 23 AND
THEN HE WOULD ROLL UP THE TORAH
SCROLL AND PUT IT IN HIS BOSOM
AND SAY MORE THAN WHAT I HAVE
READ OUT BEFORE YOU IS WRITTEN
HERE. AND ON THE 10TH, NUMBERS
29, HE RECITES BY HEART. HE
RECITES ON IT 8 BENEDICTIONS,
FOR THE LAW, FOR THE TEMPLE
SERVICE, FOR THANKSGIVING, FOR
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND FOR
THE TEMPLE ON ITS OWN AND FOR
ISRAEL ON ITS OWN AND FOR
JERUSALEM ON ITS OWN AND FOR THE
PRIEST ON THEIR OWN AND FOR THE
REST OF THE PRAYER.
THESE ARE WHAT HE WOULD DO. THEN
IT ALSO MENTIONS THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED BY
RABBI ISHMAEL THAT A THREAD OF
CRIMSON WOOL THAT HAD BEEN TIED
TO THE SANCTUARY DOOR WHEN AT
THAT POINT TURNED WHITE IN
FULFILLMENT OF ISAIAH HIM 1:18.
WHERE ISAIAH WROTE, THOUGH YOUR
SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET THEY SHALL
BE LIKE SNOW THOUGH THEY ARE RED
LIKE CRIMSON THEY SHALL BE COME
LIKE WOOL. THE REASON THEY
COMPARE SIN TO THE COLOR RED
LIKE CRIMSON OR SCARLET IS
BECAUSE THERE IS A VIOLENCE OF
SIN. SIN IS DEATH TO THE SOUL
AND SO THEY WOULD USE THAT COLOR
RED AND THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
WOULD HAVE. AND THEN IT ALSO
MENTIONS THAT IN YOMA: 7:3
THAT IF HE READ
IN THE GARMENTS OF LINEN
HE WOULD THEN SANCTIFY
HIS HANDS AND FEET--
BY WASHING THEM--
STRIP OFF HIS CLOTHES,
GO DOWN AND IMMERSE HIMSELF
IN THE WATER
IN THE BIG TUB AGAIN,
HE'D COME UP AND DRY HIMSELF.
AND THEN THEY BROUGHT HIM
THE GOLDEN VESTMENTS.
HE'D PUT THEM ON,
SANCTIFIED HIS HANDS AND FEET
BY WASHING THEM AGAIN,
WENT OUT,
OFFERED UP HIS OWN RAM
AND THE RAM OF THE PEOPLE
AND 7 UNBLEMISHED YEAR
OLD LAMBS IN ACCORDING WITH
NUMBERS 29 FOR THE CELEBRATION
OF YOM KIPPUR. AND WHEN HE
FINISHED THAT HE WOULD WASH HIS
HANDS AND FEET AND TAKE OFF THE
GOLD VESTMENTS AND PUT ON HIS
OWN CLOTHING. OKAY? YOU SEE THAT
IN THE YOMA CHAPTER 7:4. THEY
BROUGHT HIM HIS OWN CLOTHES AND
PUT THEM ON AND THEY WOULD
ACCOMPANY HIM TO HIS HOUSE AND
HE WOULD MAKE A DAY OF FESTIVITY
FOR HIS FRIENDS WHENEVER HE CAME
OUT OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES IN
PEACE BECAUSE HE HAD SURVIVED
WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING WRONG
WITHOUT GETTING STRUCK DEAD FOR
LITURGICAL ABUSE. AND HE WOULD
THEN HAVE A GREAT BIG FEAST. AND
THIS WOULD BE A CELEBRATION OVER
THE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THE
DAY OF ATONEMENT. AND SOMETHING
THAT IS CONNECTED WITH THAT. WE
HAVE BEEN READING FROM THE
GOSPELS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION
OF JESUS. LET US TAKE A LOOK AT
A VERY INTERESTING VERSE IN LUKE
24:30 - 31. WHEN JESUS WAS AT
THE TABLE WITH THEM, HE TOOK
BREAD, BLESSED AND BROKE IT AND
GAVE IT TO THEM. THEIR EYES WERE
OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM
AND HE VANISHED FROM THEIR
SIGHT.
THAT SCENE PLUS LUKE 24:41 ALSO
HAPPENED ON EASTER SUNDAY
BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAS WHEN
THE DISCIPLES AND JESUS REACHED
EMMAUS AND HE AND HE BLESSED
THE BREAD AND BROKE IT. AND IN
LUKE 24 HE SAID WHILE IN THEIR
JOY THEY WERE DISBELIEVING AND
STILL WONDERING AND HE SAID TO
THEM, HAVE YOU ANYTHING TO EAT?
THEY GAVE HIM A PIECE OF BROILED
FISH AND HE TOOK IT AND ATE IT
IN THEIR PRESENCE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS AN
INTERESTING PARALLEL. AS THE
HIGH PRIEST WHO HAD SUCCESSFULLY
DONE THE SACRIFICES ON THE DAY
OF ATONEMENT WOULD THEN GO TO
THE HOME AND CELEBRATE A FEAST
WITH HIS FRIENDS WE SEE THAT
JESUS CHRIST THE HIGH PRIEST WHO
OFFERED HIMSELF AS THE LAMB, HE
IS HIGH PRIEST AND LAMB ON THE
CROSS AND NOW AS HE CELEBRATES
HIS RESURRECTION HE ALSO HAS
THIS SPECIAL BREAKING AND
BLESSING OF THE BREAD LIKE THE
HIGH PRIEST HAD A FEAST AFTER HE
FINISHED HIS CELEBRATION OF THE
DAY OF ATONEMENT JESUS
CELEBRATES WITH THE BREAKING OF
THE BREAD AND THEN HE ALSO GOES
TO THE UPPER ROOM ON EASTER
SUNDAY NIGHT AND EATS SOME
BROILED FISH AND 1 OF THE
MANUSCRIPTS HAS THAT HE ATE
HONEY. AGAIN I KNOW. THESE THIS
IS BEEN A VERY DETAILED
UNDERSTANDING OF THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT. MOST CHRISTIANS DO
NOT STUDY IT IN MUCH DETAIL.
SOME OF IT IS HARD. I KNOW. IF
YOU ARE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO
THINKING ABOUT SACRIFICE OF
ANIMALS THIS IS ODD AND IT IS
NOT WHAT WE DO IN THE MODERN
WORLD. I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THE
UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FEAST WILL
HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
LETTER TO THE HEBREWS AND IT'LL
ALSO HELP US SEE THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN CHRIST'S DEATH AS A
SACRIFICE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF
OUR SINS AS BEING PREFIGURED BY
THE SACRIFICES ON THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT. AND THIS IS NECESSARY
FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE MASS AS
AN UNBLOODY SACRIFICE. AND
UNBLOODY SACRIFICE. NEXT WEEK
WE WILL BEGIN THE NEXT CHAPTER
OF THE BOOK AND WE WILL TAKE A
LOOK AT THE WORDS OF JESUS AT
THE LAST SUPPER. AND WHAT I WANT
YOU TO BE PREPARED FOR IS THAT
WE WILL SHOW HOW OUR LORD JESUS
USED SACRIFICIAL TERMINOLOGY
WHEN HE INSTITUTED THE LAST
SUPPER AND THE 1ST MASS. SO THAT
IS WHAT I AM GETTING YOU READY
FOR. IKNOW IT IS DIFFICULT
SOMETIMES BUT WE ARE GOING TO
GET HER DONE. ALL RIGHT. LET ME
TAKE AN EMAIL BEFORE WE GET TO
ANYBODY ELSE. THIS IS FROM MARY.
(PACWA)
MARY THIS IS SOMETHING WE
ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT AND YOU
MIGHT FIND SOME HELP IN
UNDERSTANDING IT FROM THE BOOK I
WROTE CALLED WINNING THE BATTLE
AGAINST SIN. WHAT IS KEY TO
UNDERSTAND IS THAT SIN ALWAYS
GETS ITS SERIOUSNESS IN
RELATIONSHIP TO THE PERSON YOU
SIN AGAINST. IT IS NOT MORE
SERIOUS BECAUSE OF THE PERSON
SINNING. IT IS MORE SERIOUS
BECAUSE OF THE PERSON YOU
OFFEND. SO IF I WERE TO TRY TO
HIT ANY PRESIDENT WHETHER 1 OF
THE BUSHES OR CLINTONS OR OBAMA
OR TRUMP. IT DOES NOT MATTER. IF
I TRIED HE HAD A PRESIDENT THAT
WOULD BE CONSIDERED A FEDERAL
CRIME. IF I HIT SOME OTHER
PERSON ON THE STREET THAT IS A
CIVIL CRIME IT IS A VIOLENT
CRIME BUT IT IS DEALT WITH
LOCALLY. IF YOU TRY TO STRIKE
THE PRESIDENT IT BECOMES A
FEDERAL CRIME WITH A MORE
SERIOUS PUNISHMENT AND YOU WOULD
BE IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR TRYING
THAT IF I TRIED TO DO IT IN THE
REGULAR WAY EVERYDAY LIFE I
WOULD GO TO A LOCAL JAIL.
SIMILARLY, GOD IS INFINITE AND
WHEN WE SIN AGAINST HIM HOURS
SIN TAKES ON THIS INFINITE
QUALITY BECAUSE IT IS GOD WE
OFFEND. 1 OF THE REALITIES IS
NONE OF US IS INFINITE. WE ARE
FINITE. WE CANNOT MAKE UP FOR
OUR SINS. THAT IS WHY GOD
BECOMES FLESH SO THAT HE CAN BE
THAT INFINITE SACRIFICE. NOW
THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING THAT
COMES FROM AND I DO NOT WANT TO
PICK ON MARTIN LUTHER IN THIS
BUT THERE IS AN ELEMENT IN THE
WAY LUTHER THOUGHT. BEFORE
LTHER STUDIED FOR THE
PRIESTHOOD HE HAD BEEN STUDYING
THE LAW. AND HIS MENTALITY WAS
TO SEE JUSTIFICATION AS A LEGAL
OPERATION. THERE IS AN ELEMENT
OF THAT BUT HE SAW THIS AS A
LEGAL THING THAT GOD REQUIRED
THIS IS DUE PUNISHMENT FOR THE
LAW. INSTEAD OF SEEING IT AS
THAT KIND OF LEGAL MAKING UP
THAT GOD THE FATHER DEMANDS,
THAT IS WHY HE IS SOMETIMES
PORTRAYED AS THAT. IT IS RATHER
THIS DAMAGE THAT IS DONE AND TO
FIX THE DAMAGE IT TAKES AND
INFINITE SACRIFICE. AND THAT IS
1 OF THE THINGS THAT GOES ON. IT
IS NOT ABOUT GOD SAYING I WILL
NOT FORGIVE YOU UNTIL YOU GIVE
ME ENOUGH SACRIFICE AND I WILL
TAKE MY SON. NO IT IS NOT LIKE
THAT. THAT WOULD BE A COMPLETE
MISTAKE. IT IS RATHER AS POPE
JOHN PAUL'S ABSOLUTELY MOST
FAVORITE VERSE OF THE BIBLE IS
JOHN 3:16. GOD SO LOVED THE
WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS SON SO
THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN
HIM MIGHT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. AND
IT IS BECAUSE HE IS AN INFINITE
GIFT THAT HE CAN BE THE ONE WHO
MAKES UP FOR THAT AND IT IS A
MATTER OF GOD'S LOVE FOR US AND
THAT THE SUN DOES NOT SAY DAD DO
I HAVE TO GO? NO IT IS NOT SOME
WHINING TEENAGE ATTITUDE. THAT
WOULD BE COMPLETELY FALSE. THE
SUN OFFERS HIMSELF BECAUSE HE
LOVES US SO MUCH INFINITELY AS
WELL AS DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT.
ALL 3 ACTS TOGETHER IN THIS. AND
THIS IS HOW WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND IT. OKAY WE HAVE A
CALL. DOUGLAS WHERE YOU CALLING
FROM?
>> FLORIDA.
>>(PACWA) MY 1ST RODEO
WAS IN FLORIDA.
WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?
>> YOU MENTIONED
IN OTHER MEETINGS
ABOUT THE GOATS AND THE
SACRIFICES BUT HOW IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT HOW DID THAT GET
STARTED? DID GOD INITIATED OR
DID MAN?
(PACWA)
HERE IS THE THING THAT IS GOING
ON DOUGLAS. THAT IS AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION. KEEP IN MIND EVERYBODY
IN THE ANCIENT WORLD OFFERED
ANIMAL SACRIFICES. THIS WAS
UNIVERSAL. FRANKLY I CANNOT
THINK OF ANY SOCIETY IN THAT
REGION THAT DID NOT OFFER ANIMAL
SACRIFICES. AGAIN NOT EVERYONE
OFFERED HUMAN SACRIFICES BUT
PLENTY DID. BUT THEY ALL OFFERED
ANIMAL SACRIFICES. HERE'S THE
IDEA. EVERYBODY EATS MEAT. I
MEAN HOMO SAPIENS HAS BEEN
HUNTING AND EATING MEAT FROM THE
START. WE SEE THE EARLIEST
HOMINIDS ARE EATING MEAT. AND IN
FACT 1 OF THE REASONS THAT WE
HAVE SUCH A LARGE BRAIN IS THAT
WE ATE MEAT. ALONG WITH LOTS OF
VEGETABLES AND THINGS BUT WE ATE
MEAT. AND PEOPLE KNEW THAT MEAT
WAS SOMETHING THAT GAVE THEM
LIFE AND SUSTENANCE ALONG WITH
OTHER GIFTS LIKE GRAIN AND WINE
AND OIL AND THEY SACRIFICE THEM
ALSO. THEY KNEW WHAT MADE THEM
STAY ALIVE AND THEY OFFERED THAT
TO GOD. SAYING WILL THIS IS WHAT
WE NEED TO LIVE ON AND WE GIVE
IT TO YOU. NOW SOMETIMES WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE ANCIENTS YOU SEE
HOW FOR INSTANCE IN BABYLON WHEN
YOU READ THE - - AND THE EPIC OF
GILGAMESH, YOU READ HOW THE GODS
NEEDED THAT FOOD FOR THEIR OWN
SUSTENANCE. THEY BELIEVED THAT
THE GODS LIVED OFF OF THE
SACRIFICES. NOT SO IN ISRAEL.
READ PSALM 50. READ PSALM 50.
YOU SEE THAT THE LORD, AND A
NUMBER OF PLACES IN THE PROPHETS
ASO, YOU SEE THERE THAT THE
LORD GOD SAYS TO THEM, DO YOU
THINK THAT I EAT THE MEAT OF
BULLS OR DRINK THE BLOOD OF
GOATS? AND DO YOU THINK THAT IF
I WERE HUNGRY I WOULD TELL YOU?
I ALREADY OWN ALL THE ANIMALS ON
THE HILLSIDES. I WANT YOU TO
GIVE ME YOUR HUMBLED REPENTANT
HEARTS. SO ALREADY ISRAEL
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SACRIFICE
WAS A SYMBOL OF THEIR LIFE OF
WHAT GIVES THEM THEIR LIFE AND
WHAT NOURISHES THEM. THEY GAVE
THAT UP TO GOD AS A SYMBOL. BUT
WHAT HE REALLY WANTED WAS A
HUMBLED AND BROKEN HEART AS YOU
SEE IN PSALM 51 ALSO. PSALM 50
AND PSALM 51. IN MANY PLACES IN
THE PROPHETS. IT MAKES IT VERY
CLEAR THAT THE LORD DOES NOT EAT
THIS STUFF THE WAY THE PAGANS
THOUGHT THEIR GODS DID BUT WE
ALSO SEE THAT HE ACCEPTS THAT AS
A SYMBOL OF THEIR PENITENCE AND
A SYMBOL OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO
HIM. AND THAT IS HOW THEY DID
WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DID IN THE
ANCIENT WORLD BUT THEN THEY ALSO
PURIFIED THAT BY THEIR FAITH IN
THE LORD GOD AND MADE IT
SOMETHING MUCH MORE PROFOUND
UNTIL WE SEE WITH OUR OWN
EXPERIENCE OF HOLY MASS AS A
SACRIFICE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF
SINS. THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH
ANOTHER LEVEL OF SACRIFICE
NAMELY OF GOD MADE FLESH. DYING
ON THE CROSS AND MAKING HIMSELF
AVAILABLE TO US IN THE HOLY
SACRIFICE OF THE MASS. THAT IS
WHAT WE SEE. IT IS A PROCESS OF
DEEPENING, PURIFICATION, AND
SYMBOLS THAT BECOME MAKE US
READY FOR A NEW REALITY IN
CHRIST. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE TO
TAKE A BREAK AND WE WILL BE BACK
IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES FOR MORE
OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND EMAILS SO
PLEASE STAY WITH US.

ALL RIGHT WE ARE BACK AND HAVE A
QUESTION FROM JOE, JOE ARE YOU
CALLING FROM?
>>
NEW YORK.
(PACWA)
HOW ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU SAFE
WITH YOUR FAMILY?
>>
WE ARE HOLED UP FOR A COUPLE OF
WEEKS INTO THE BEST WE CAN BUT
WE ARE BLESSED.
(PACWA)
WE HAVE TO KEEP NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY THAT SEEMS TO BE THE
CENTER WE NEED TO KEEP YOU IN
ALL OF OUR PRAYERS. I KNOW THAT
YOUR MEDICAL STAFF HAS REALLY
GONE THROUGH IT IN THAT AREA AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PASSED AWAY
SO IT IS BEEN A ROUGH FEW WEEKS
OVER THERE AND WE DEFINITELY
PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR LEADERS
AND ALL THE MEDICAL FOLKS.
>>
THANK YOU. AND THE SAME FOR YOU
AND YOURS OVER THERE. IT IS A
TOUGH ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD..
MY 2 QUESTIONS TO QUICK
QUESTIONS. ONE THE GOSPEL OF
JOHN CHAPTER 6:12, JESUS DOES
THIS 1 FROM MIRACLE AND FEEDS
5000 AND THEY GATHERED UP THE
BASKETS OF FRAGMENTS AND SO THAT
NOTHING WOULD BE LOST. THAT IS
AMAZING TO ME. I HAVE NEVER
HEARD ANYBODY PREACH ON THAT. I
WAS WONDERING WHAT YOUR TAKE ON
THAT IS.
(PACWA)
ACTUALLY I HAVE TALKED ABOUT
THAT IS SOME OF MY SERMONS IN
THE PAST. 1 OF THE REASONS IS
HAVING GONE OVER AND SPENT TIME
LIVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST I CAN
UNDERSTAND IT BETTER NOW. I WILL
GIVE AN EXAMPLE. A FRIEND OF
MINE IS FROM JERUSALEM BUT WHEN
HE WAS 14 OR SO HIS FAMILY MOVED
TO AMERICA TO ATLANTA. IN FACT
HIS DAD AND HE WERE THE TRAVEL
AGENTS ALWAYS WENT WITH WITH
CONSOLIDATED TOURS. THEY WERE
GREAT. WE WERE GOING DOWN THE
STREET OF JERUSALEM AND HE SAW A
PIECE OF BREAD. PITA BREAD.
LAYING ON THE SIDEWALK. HE
PICKED IT UP AND KISSED IT AND
HE PUT IT ON A PLACE FOR THE
BIRDS TO GET. AND HE SAID I KNOW
IT SEEMS ODD BUT I CANNOT HAVE
BREAD THROWN AWAY. BREAD IS
SACRED. IT IS THE WAY THAT WE
VERY MUCH HAVE A STAFF OF LIFE
AND THAT IS WHAT BIBLE CALLS
BREAD THE STAFF OF LIFE. SO THE
IDEA THAT YOU WOULD JUST SORT OF
LEAVE BREAD LAYING AROUND, NO
WAY. I HAVE ALSO SEEN PEOPLE FOR
INSTANCE WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF
BREAD THAT IS LEFT OVER AND
STUFF AND YOU WILL HAVE FOLKS
WHO GATHER IT AND THEY WILL PUT
IT IN A PLACE TO TRY IN THE SUN
AND THEN THEY WILL FEED IT TO
THE GOATS AND SUCH. THE IDEA
THAT YOU WOULD LET BREAD GO TO
WASTE IS FINGERNAILS ON A
BLACKBOARD FOR MIDDLE
EASTERNERS. IN THE IDEA THAT YOU
LIKE HE HE LIVES HERE, BUT HE
CANNOT THROW BREAD INTO THE
GARBAGE. HE JUST CANNOT. YOU
HAVE TO HAVE IT SO THAT THE
ANIMALS CAN GET IT THE BIRD TO
THE GOATS OR WHATEVER. THAT IS
JUST CONSIDER SOMETHING VERY
SACRED. AND YOU DO NOT THROW
AWAY BREAD. SO THAT IS WHAT THEY
WERE DOING. ALL RIGHT.
>>
IN OUR CULTURE OF WASTE
THROWAWAY CULTURE THAT IS
PROFOUND.
(PACWA)
IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR US TO
LEARN FROM. THANK YOU. WE HAVE
ANOTHER CALL. JOHN?
JOHN?
>>
I'M CALLING FROM UPSTATE NEW
YORK.
(PACWA) WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?
>>
I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS. 1ST THE
SAYING THE LORD SPOKE IN
PARABLES AND I WAS TOLD IN THE
CATECHISM THAT MEANT WHEN YOU GO
TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY YOU WHERE
YOUR FINEST CLOTHING. LATER IN
LIFE A PRIEST TOLD ME THAT MORE
S IT MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD GO
TO CONFESSION AND THEN GO TO
COMMUNION AND THAT IS WHAT IT
MEANS THE FINEST CLOTHING MEANS
TO HAVE A CLEAN SOUL. WHEN YOU
RECEIVE COMMUNION.
(PACWA)
THAT IS 1 OF THE THINGS ABOUT
SYMBOLISM. THAT IT CAN HAVE A
NUMBER OF SYMBOLS. A NUMBER OF
MEANINGS. WEARING OUR BEST AT
CHURCH IS ALSO A SIGN OF RESPECT
FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. THAT IS WHY,
1 OF MY PARISH PRIEST FRIENDS
HAS BEEN TELLING THE LADIES IN
PARTICULAR BUT SOME OF THE MEN
ALSO, I TOLD TO MAKE SURE YOU
GET THE MEN IN ON THIS, DO NOT
DRESS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO THE
BEACH AND DO NOT SHOW SO MUCH OF
YOURSELF. AND THEY WOULD NOT
LISTEN. THEY JUST KEPT WEARING
THE FASHION AND HE SAID THAT IS
IT. AND WHAT HE DID IS HE TURNED
UP THE AIR CONDITIONER SO THAT
THEN THE LADIES FINALLY STARTED
DRESSING WELL IN THE CHURCH BUT
WE SHOULD NOT COME AS IF IT IS A
FASHION SHOW OR A STRIPTEASE OR
THE BEACH. BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE
THE MENTALITY, HATE GOD SHOULD
BE GLAD I'M HERE. DO NOT WORRY
ABOUT HOW I DRESS. IT IS NOT
THAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT BUT
YOU SHOW RESPECT, RESPECT FOR
WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND RESPECT
FOR THE PLACE AND RESPECT FOR
THE PEOPLE SO THAT YOU DO NOT
GIVE THEM THOUGHTS THEY SHOULD
NOT BE HAVING IN CHURCH OR
ANYWHERE ELSE. SO THAT IS A VERY
GOOD THING. YOU SAID YOU HAD
ANOTHER QUESTION?
>>
I HAVE ONE ON THE SOUL. WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOUR SOUL WHEN YOU
DIE DOES IT STAY ON EARTH OR
DOES IT GO WITH YOU IN EITHER
DIRECTION EITHER TO HEAVEN OR TO
HELL AND CAN YOU SEE THE SOUL DO
YOU EVER SEE THE SOUL OR IS IT
IS IN THE HEART?
(PACWA)
THE SOUL IS INVISIBLE AS FAR AS
I KNOW. ARE THE SOULS AWARE OF
EACH OTHER?
ABSOLUTELY. READ THE BOOK OF
REVELATION AND YOU WILL SEE THAT
THE SOULS COMMUNICATE AND TALK
AND THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS
GOING ON ON EARTH YOU SEE IN
CHAPTER 6. AND YOU SEE THEM
DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF
REVELATION FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
IMAGINATION. BUT IN REALITY
SOULS ARE NOT VISIBLE. THEY'RE
NOT PHYSICAL. BUT WHEN JESUS
COMES AT THE END OF TIME AND
BRINGS AN END TO THE WORLD, THEN
OUR SOULS AND BODIES WILL BE
REUNITED AND ARE GLORIFIED
BODIES WILL BE ABLE TO SEE EACH
OTHER. BUT AGAIN THERE'S NO
PROBLEM WITH THEM DETECTING EACH
OTHER IN HEAVEN. THEY WILL KNOW
AND COMMUNICATE IN HEAVEN BUT IT
WILL NOT BE WITH VISIBLE EYES.
BUT ALSO HAVE DISAPPEARING TIME.
I'M ABOUT TO CONCLUDE. I WANT TO
GIVE YOU A BLESSING. MAY THE
LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU
HEALTHY. PROTECT ALL THE FOLKS
WHO ARE HELPING THOSE WHO ARE
SICK AND IN NEED. MAY GOD BLESS
YOU ALL, THE FATHER AND THE SON
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN. AND
WE APPRECIATE YOUR ONGOING
SUPPORT SO THAT WE COULD DO THE
EASTER AND MERCY SUNDAY
PRESENTATIONS FOR YOU. WE WILL
BE DOING MORE AS WE CAN SO YOUR
SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE. THANK
YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU.
