" An In-Depth Audio/Slide Show Study Of Exodus"
Session 4
Session 4
One of the MAJOR lessons I've been learning myself these past few months, is that to study and know the Old Testament sheds MUCH LIGHT on the New Testament! I found an amazing audio/video Bible Study Commentary that goes through the Bible in such a thorough way that it actually includes the most recent scientific, archeological, physics, astronomical, biological, and geological discoveries as well! In fact, it even shows you all the prophecy that's contained in every single book of the Old Testament, tying it to the New Testament verses for you! I just finished watching all 24 sessions of Genesis myself, and I have to say, it's the most profound, illuminating and exciting Bible study I've EVER seen! So I'm going to start sharing these with you right here in this section every week! We'll start with the Book of Genesis and work our way through. These studies go through each book verse by verse, so they're very thorough! Some will be in video format, others in slideshow format, and others in audio. Genesis, Session 1 will be in video format. You'll be AMAZED at how MUCH information is taught in each session! I know I was! If you like these great teachings, you can actually purchase any Book of the Bible with an in-depth, verse-by-verse, video commentary just like this at http://www.khouse.org! Here you'll find other great free commentaries and if you want to do like I'm doing, which is attempting to go through the entire Bible with these great commentaries, just click on the "Online Store" under the "Shopping" tab on the left column! The Description of this series is as follows:
EXODUS: SESSION 4 - Chapters 11 through 12
The Book of Exodus is the bedrock of God's plan of redemption and is seen as a 'type' of the early church. It is also an adventure of discovery, since the dramatic narrative is laced with numerous hidden messages in the form of microcodes and macrocodes, each anticipating the New Testament climax.
This study will contain 20 hours of verse by verse teachings in 16 total audio/slide slow presentations. These studies are audio only, so I've added pictures for those of you who enjoy watching something while you listen. Enjoy & God Bless!

Finally, our Feature Movie of the Week is called "The Footsteps Of Goliath", followed by a two-part teaching from Pastor Billy Crone on the subject of giants in the Bible!

Then, we'll go into the scientific facts of the Bible with all the various evidences of why things got so big in the past, including people and animals, with Pator Billy Crone. He'll also be covering the Nephilim and other giants that lived in the land as referred to in Genesis in detail. Very interesting teachings and facts to be learned!
We'll then take an in-depth look at "The Ministry Of John The Baptist"! So enjoy and until next week, enjoy & God Bless!

DESCRIPTION: Filmmakers piece together clues from the Lands of the Bible to bring the most complete view on the giant Goliath ever presented. Most people today are under the impression that this battle was simply a "fairy tale" put forth in the Bible; however, we see here in this documentary that the facts presented in the Bible are actually the exact way this would have happened historically speaking! The more we learn about our own history and the more that archaeology and the rest of the sciences discover, the more Bible is confirmed to be FACTUAL HISTORY! So sit back, enjoy, and see how and why we know that the battle between David and Goliath is no fairy-tale; but an historical account of an event that actually happened! Those of us who know the Bible is 100% trustworthy and true are not surprised by this, although it's still fun to watch and hear the facts that are being presented as they are discovered in today's world!

"The Ministry Of John The Baptist"
When it comes time for Yahshua (Jesus' given Hebrew Name) to carry out His divine commission, the ground has already been broken by the successful ministry of John the Baptist, who proclaims Yahshua (Jesus) to be "the Lamb of God". John thereby sets the stage for Yahshua's (Jesus') own claim that He is the Messiah. As seen so many times before, the Jews have been awaiting the coming of the prophesied Messiah, believing that He will deliver them from political bondage and be an ideal national leader. What they have not expected is a leader arising from among the common people -- yet divine in nature -- and establishing a spiritual rather than a political kingdom. Perhaps because of this very misconception, John the Baptist is called to prepare the way for Yahshua (Jesus) and to testify on His behalf. It is with this announcement of Yahshua's (Jesus') special ministry that the gospel message begins its central focus, as seen by the fact that only at this point do Mark and John begin their gospel accounts.
Yahshua's forerunner, John, is a prophet of priestly descent, as were several of the prophets of old. Like Elijah, John is not a writer, but an evangelist and a spokesman for God whose outspoken preaching of repentance and baptism brings him multitudes of disciples. Some of these disciples will be so devoted to John and his teaching that they will not accept even the deity of Yahshua, which John is sent to proclaim. As with most of his fellow prophets, John's teaching of spiritual purity is accompanied by strong appeals for practical ethical conduct towards one's fellowman.
Living much of his time in desert areas and existing on a diet of locusts and honey, John strikes an image of being some kind of ascetic wild man. However, his lifestyle is probably dictated more out of necessity than eccentricity, and is by no means offensive to the throngs who come from the cities to hear him. The more intriguing question is why sophisticated city people would go out of their way to be taught by a rough man of the wilderness whose preaching is unusually harsh and demanding. Could it be, ironically, that John's appeal lies in the very strictness of his message, which is in sharp contrast to the soft religiosity peddled by religious leaders seeking popular support? Could it be that John's call for personal purity and individual righteousness is seen as a refreshing change from the ritualistic and institutional religion which has developed over the centuries? My guess would be a resounding "YES"! Whatever his appeal, John's ministry is given the highest possible honor when even Yahshua Himself comes to receive John's baptism. Although it is not for sins that Yahshua is baptized, His exemplary act of ceremonial washing gives occasion for a dramatic confirmation of His deity.

"John Declares His Mission"
In Matthew 3:1-3, Mark 1:2-4, and Luke 3:1-6, we find John declaring what he is there to do. Below is the passage from The Daily Bible In Chronological Order covering these three passages of Scripture:
Matthew 3:1-3; Mark 1:2-4; and Luke 3:1-6: (The Daily Bible In Chronological Order - NIV) In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar - when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene - during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the Word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
"A voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for Him.
Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
And all mankind will see God's salvation."
(Isaiah 40:3-5)
"A voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for Him.
Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
And all mankind will see God's salvation."
(Isaiah 40:3-5)
