Dr Petra De La Rey: Biblical Studies

Thank you, Roario. Thank you for that

blessing and welcome, Holy Spirit. I'm

so excited about today. It's going to be

a long teaching, but um let's hope we

get through it. And if we don't, we're

going to continue next week because the

theme of today is what is our standing

as Christians

in relation to the law?

Are we under the law? Are we above the

law? Or what is our standing? So, we're

going to read from scripture, and it was

scripture that came up uh

uh the verse of the day, and that was

Matthew 13, where the Lord spoke in

parables about the kingdom

and um and what it's like. He likened it

to a few things. And uh one of the

things that he likened to um was

uh the sewer sewing seed.

So, we're going to proceed in scripture

and um and a few times in scripture

here, the Lord says, "For those who have

spiritual ears,

she listen, it's a it's a word that

maybe you are familiar with in Hebrew,

the shema that um where the Lord says

she is, the Lord your God is one." And a

few times here the Lord refers to that.

So we got to read from

uh let's read from let's not read the

first few things where the Lord says why

he speaks in parables and we're going to

read from verse 16.

He says, "Blessed are the ones." Let me

just go to the amplified before you have

all this Hebrew. Um

where the Lord starts explaining the

parables.

I see in in verse 11, to you it has been

granted to know the mysteries of the

kingdom of heaven, but to them it has

not been granted. For whoever has

spiritual wisdom because he's receptive

to God's word, to him more will be

given, and he will be richly and

abundantly supplied. But whoever does

not have this, even what he w has will

be taken away from him. This is the

reason I speak to the crowds in parables

because while seeing they do not see,

and while hearing they do not hear, nor

do they understand and grasp. In them,

the prophecy of Isaiah is being

fulfilled, which says, "You will hear

and keep on hearing, but never

understand. And you will look and keep

on looking, but never comprehend. For

this nation's heart has grown hard, and

with their ears they hardly hear, and

they have closed their eyes. Otherwise,

they would see with their eyes, and hear

with their ears, and understand with

their hearts, and turn, and I would heal

them. But blessed are your eyes, because

they see, and your ears because they

hear. I assure you and most solemnly say

to you, many prophets and righteous men

longed to see what you see and did not

see and to hear what you hear and did

not hear. And then he explains the swer.

Listen then to the parable of the swer.

When anyone hears the word of the

kingdom and I want to focus on that that

is the darut and it's going to change in

the next um few verses. The darut, the

word of the kingdom, and does not

understand and grasp it. The evil one,

which is Satan, comes and snatches away

what was sown in their hearts.

This is the one on whom the seed was

sown beside the road. The one on whom

seed was sown on rocky ground. This is

the one who hears the word, the davar

hashem, and at once welcomes it with

joy. Yet he has no root in himself, but

is only temporary. And when pressure or

persecution comes because of the word,

immediately he stumbles and falls away.

And the one on whom seed was sown among

thorns. This is the one who hears the

word again the word of Hashem.

Davarashem.

But the worries and distractions of the

world and deceitfulness of riches

choke the word and it yields no fruit.

And the one on whom seed was sown on the

good soil. This is the one who hears the

word, the davarashim,

understands and grasps it. He indeed

bears fruit and yields some 100 times,

some 60 and some 13.

Then Jesus came with another parable,

saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a

man who sowed good seed in his field.

But while his men were sleeping, his

enemy came and sowed weeds among the

wheat and went away. So when the plant

sprouted and formed grain, the weeds

appeared also. The servants of the owner

came to him and said, "Sir, did you not

sow good seed in your field? Then how

does it have weeds in it?" And he

replied to them, "An enemy has done

this." And the servants asked him, "Then

do you want us to go and pull them out?"

But he said, "No, because as you pull

out the weeds, you may uproot the wheat

with them. Let them grow together until

the harvest. And at harvest time, I will

tell the reapers, first gather the weeds

and tie them in bundles to be burnt, but

gather the wheat into my barn."

And then the Lord gave another parable

saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a

mustard seed which a man took and swed

in his field. And of all the seeds, it

is the smallest, but when it has grown,

it is the largest of the garden herbs

and becomes a tree so that the birds of

the air find shelter in its branches."

He told them another parable. The

kingdom of heaven is like leavenven

which a woman took and worked into three

measures of flour until all of it was

leven.

All of these things Jesus said to the

crowd in parables and he said nothing to

them without a parable.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by

the prophet. I will open my mouth in

parables. I will utter things that have

been hidden since the foundation

of the world.

Then he left the crowds and went into

the house. And his disciples came to

him, saying, "Explain to us the parable

of the weeds in the field." And he

answered, "The one who sws the good seed

is the Son of Man, the Lord, and the

field is the world. And as for the good

seed, these are the sons of the kingdom.

And the weeds are the sons of the evil

one. And the enemy who sowed them is the

devil. And the harvest is the end of

age. And the reapers are the angels.

So just as the weeds are gathered up and

burned in the fire, so will it be at the

end of the age. The Son of Man will send

out his angels and they will gather out

of his kingdom all things that offend.

And all who practice evil and will throw

them into the furnace of fire. In that

place there will be weeping and grinding

of teeth. Then the righteous will shine

forth like the sun in the kingdom of

their father. He who has ears, let him

hear and heed my words.

So this is a beautiful piece and so

familiar that sometimes

>> Yeah,

>> we cannot see you.

>> Yay. Okay. At least you could hear me.

>> There you go again.

Daniel, am I way?

>> Yes, we can hear you.

>> Fantastic.

Okay, let's go. It's such a familiar

piece that sometimes we read over this

um in such a hurry because it's so

familiar that we miss certain parts. So,

I want to go right back where we started

and it was verse 11 if I'm right. And um

and let's go slowly this time. Um, I'm

going to skip over some parts, not

because they're not important, but

because I want to get to a certain part.

So, let's go right back to verse 11

where the Lord starts explaining. And I

just want to highlight um is then

another scripture that sounds familiar

to this

to those who have ears. Listen,

does somebody know where in scripture

they say this words continuously quite a

few times after each

piece it is said

>> I think revelation

>> revelation where the Lord says to each

um kaya each of the commanders what is

it in English Now um he says to those

who have ears listen. Okay. So it's

quite important when we get to that

verses to remember it. I say to you have

been granted to know the mysteries of

the kingdom of heaven. So first of all

we thank the Lord for that that we can

live post

with the Holy Spirit to to open our ears

and open our hearts. And I really want

to pray to the Lord because it's a

difficult teaching.

It's been preached many times in in

churches that we are no longer under the

law. And um I really want to um go to

scripture and let's um clear our

standing as Christians in relation to

the law.

Um, so let's move to

where the Lord says in verse 12,

"Whoever has spiritual wisdom, to him

more will be given and he will be richly

and abundantly supplies, but whoever

does not have even that what he has will

be taken away." That also sounds like

another parable that the Lord spoke

about and that is the talents. The

parable of the talents where the Lord

multiplied the talents where the servant

was using them and the one that buried

that talent, it was even even that one

was taken away from him in the end.

So let's see what the Lord says about

the parable of the sewer.

So we jump right to scripture

where he says

verse 18. Listen then to the parable of

the swer.

When anyone hears the word of the

kingdom.

So it's a different word that goes out.

It's a different seed that's being sown

and does not understand and grasp it.

the evil one comes and snatch it away

immediately. It does not even sprout.

Nothing happens to that seed. That seed

is immediately destroyed in that

person's life. And so what is this word

of the kingdom that the Lord is talking

about?

This word of the kingdom is about the

second the first coming but also the

second coming of the Lord. And many many

people um doesn't want to hear

that the Lord is coming back because the

second coming

is

about judgment.

The Lord says he's not coming back to

make peace the second time. He's coming

to bring his judgment. He's coming as

the lion of Judah. The first time he

appeared as the lamb of God, the perfect

sacrificial lamb that was sacrificed on

the cross for redemption and salvation.

The second time is coming as the lion of

Judah to bring judgment.

Then the Lord talks about the seed that

was sown on rocky ground, the davar

hashe, and that is the whole complete

scripture. It's not only about the

coming of the Lord. It's the whole

scripture coming from from heaven.

He says sometimes it will sprout,

but pressure and persecution

will make it stumble and fall away.

And sometimes we meet people that

needs a lot of encouragement and a lot

of nursing to sustain their faith. their

faith is not sustainable by themselves.

And it's really really sad to see

because if there's no root, even the

smallest drop of water or the smallest

kulki of um

nitrogen

cannot feed them because there's no root

that can uptake

that encouragement so that they can

sustain themselves. And in the end

when persecution comes those people also

fall away. And we see it in scripture in

two sensor two where they talk about the

great apostasy

that comes from the church. It doesn't

come from unbelievers.

It comes from inside the church. So

there's people inside the church that

believes, that has faith, but the faith

will not sustain them because there's no

root. It's sewn on a rocky road, on a

rocky um surface.

And then the Lord talks about the seed

sown among the thorns which also hear

the words.

But the worries and distractions of the

world and the deceitfulness of riches

choke the world.

And that is mixed doctrine.

That is doctrine that's not sound,

that's not um pure um davar hashim.

There's all there's a mixed doctrine in

there. So, Mun appears here as well.

He's not named, but he's here. And that

was Matthew 6 that we started off. And

it chokes the word out of them so that

they cannot bear fruit.

And then the one that's sewn on the good

soil that bears fruit.

And that takes us right back to the

trees that we talked about last time.

Um, and the fruit that the two trees

bear. And we will see that that is where

I'm I'm trying to head now with this

teaching that we're going to get um at a

place where there will be fruit.

And then another parable. And I want to

jump to verse 41. And now we're going to

do Hebrew. And the verse says,

he explains the parable. The son of man

sews the good seed. Then Satan comes and

he sws the evil seed. Both of them

springs up.

And then the Lord says to his angels,

start gathering at the end of times.

So just as the wheat are gathered up and

burnt in the fire, so will it be at the

end of age. The Son of Man will send out

his angels, and they will gather out of

his kingdom all things that offend,

and all who practice evil

will be thrown into the furnace of fire.

Okay. Now I'm going to read to you what

is written in the OJ in and it sounds

completely different. Different the same

but different. So the son of man will

send forth his angels and they will pull

up and gather out of Messiah's mhood the

kingdom all the things that make

apostate

and the ones who are are without

the law

and are anti nomian.

Let me read it again. He will pull up

and gather out of Messiah's mood because

that kingdom is coming to earth. So he

will pull out

all the things out of Messiah's mood.

The kingdom that's coming

that's making

apostate

and the ones who are without the law and

anti-nomian.

Now, I just want to clear this was a

parable that was

brought by Jesus

before he was crucified.

So, I did my homework and I looked in

the Oxford dictionary the meaning of

anti-nomian

and it says the following. a person who

believes that Christians are released by

grace from the obligation of observing

the moral law.

I just want to say again this was Jesus

speaking. It was his words before he was

crucified.

So what is our standing as Christians in

relation to the law? Are we still under

the law or or are we under grace?

And I want to answer quickly, we are

under grace, but what is our standing?

Are we Christians that are released by

grace from the obligation of observing

the moral law? And then I went and

looked what is moral law. Moral law

refers to a system of universal

objective

ethical principles that define right and

wrong conduct. Often believed to be

inherent in human nature, conscience or

divine will.

Unlike enacted positive law, moral law

law guides human behavior independently

of government legislation

focusing on core values like justice and

respect. So we see that this word

antinomian refers to something that was

created inside of you.

But before he uses this word antinomia,

he uses the word

law and that was the Jewish law. And

that

the Jewish law is compiled of different

parts. And I'm just going to do the

first three because there's actually

five, but I just want to focus on the

first three. It's the Torah. The Torah,

the first five books written by Moses.

Hawk

is a decree that goes out of a kingdom,

a specific, often binding statue or

regulation of a kingdom.

And mitzvah,

commandments of which the most common

that we know is the ten commandments. So

if we look at the word Hebrew,

it compile is compiled up of the TA

the G and the mitzvah and two other that

I'm not going to look into now because

the one is haka that means you walk with

God and the other one is um the grease

that the rabies give. I just want to

focus on the first three.

So it's the Torah, the first five books,

hook, which is the Greece, which was

made in the kingdom, and mitzvah, the

commandments. Now, there's actually 613

commandments in the word of God.

But the ten commandments that we read

about in scripture forms the core or the

spine of these 613

commandments because they will take say

maybe do not steal and then they will

um amplify that further with a few other

commandments that's in line of not

stealing and um or

do not commit adultery and then they

will just have a few commandments under

that. So the core of the 613 commands

that is in the law of Moses.

The ten commandments forms the core of

that.

And those ten commandments, the first

time that Moses descended from Mount Si

was written on sapphire tablets

and they were engraved by the finger of

God.

and all the Hebrew letters was on those

two tablets

of which we're going to look at one

Hebrew letter. We're just going to look

at the letter today

um which is called the summit

that is

like a round circle but with a flat

piece. So it's completely

closed. You can see it's like a round

circle, which is quite important. Um,

because we're also going to look at it a

little bit later in scripture.

I want you to remember that this was a

closed circle. And when the finger of

God engraved on the sapphire tablets,

because the sapphire tablets is the

foundation of the throne of God in

heaven,

the letters went right through. So if

you engrave on a on a stone and the

letter is like this

and you

so let's say it's like this then there's

still a connection here and here. So and

here and here. So it will not fall

through. um because it's still connected

in a few pieces if it's engraved right

through the thickness of the tablet. But

what makes the s a miracle is if you cut

a round circle through a piece of

wood or something that's thick, that

thing is going to fall out.

Does it make sense? physics.

The summit was suspended in air. It did

not fall out. It was completely

suspended in the tablets

which was a miracle in itself. Okay? So

remember that when we talk further about

the summit.

Now the word that is being used

um when the Lord says

he will gather out of Messiah's mood all

things that make

I hope that creates the apostasy the

Hebrew word is

which means destroy annihilate

exterminate

so it's not a small things that it's not

a small thing that happens. The apostasy

is a complete destruction,

extermination, and annihilation of

something.

And now we're going to go to

uh scripture

2 Thessalonians

2

because he explains it so beautifully

there

what this apostasy is. Now you um I'm in

the amplified

and the the

it says man of lawlessness.

Now in regard to the coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ and the gathering together

to meet him,

this is the parable of seer.

It's the second coming when the Lord

will send his angels to start gathering.

We ask you, brothers and sisters, not to

be quickly unsettled or alarmed

either by a spirit or a message or a

letter from us to the effect that the

day of the Lord has already come.

Nope, it has not come. Why not? Let no

one in any way deceive or ent trap you,

for that day will not come unless the

apostasy comes first.

Right,

everybody with me? And the man of

lawlessness is revealed.

The son of destruction. You see that

word action here now being used. Schmat,

the antichrist, the one who is destined

to be destroyed.

And he refers to Daniel

chapter 7 and 8 who opposes and exalts

himself so proudly and so insolently

above every so-called god or object of

worship so that he takes his seat in the

temple of God publicly proclaiming that

he himself is God.

Do you not remember that when I was

still with you, I was telling you these

things, and you know what restrains you

now? It is so that he will be real

revealed at his own appointed time. For

the mystery of lawlessness,

and it's also a spirit of rebellion, is

already at work.

But it is restrained

only until he who now restrains it is

taken out of the way.

Then the lawless one, the antichrist,

will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will

slay him with the breath of his mouth

and bring him to an end by the

appearance of his coming.

The coming of the antichrist.

One is through the activity of Satan

with great power and deceptive signs and

false wonders and by unlimited seduction

to evil and with all the deception of

wickedness for those who are perishing

because they did not welcome the love of

truth.

Focus on those words, the love of truth.

so as to be saved.

Because of this, God will send upon them

a misleading influence

so they will believe the lie in order

that all may be judged and condemned who

did not believe the truth. The Lord is

coming back to judge, but instead to

pleasure in unrighteousness.

that we should

and morally obligated

as debtors always to give thanks to God

for you believers beloved by the Lord

because God has chosen you from the

beginning for salvation through the

sanctifying work of the spirit and by

your faith in the truth by your faith in

the truth.

I'm saying it again. By your faith in

the truth, it was to this end that he

called you through our gospel

so that you may obtain and share in the

glory of our Lord Jesus.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand

firm and hold

firmly to the traditions which you were

taught, whether by word or mouth or by

letter.

And then he greets them

by his grace and comfort and encourage

and strengthen your hearts in every good

work and word.

So we see that the great apostasy is

coming and it's coming from believers.

It's coming from inside the church

because you cannot

fall away from something

if you were not there. So if you fall

away it means you were a believer

because you cannot fall away from

something that you did not believe in.

And um and I I've again going to say

because of the love and because of the

grace. And now I want somebody to read

for me John 14. And we're going to go

from verse 15. Sir David of David.

Please read John 14.

Good morning Dr. Petra. I shall say

Let not your heart be troubled. You

believe in God, believe also in me. In

my father's house are many mansions. If

it were not so, I would have told you. I

go to prepare a place for you. And if I

go and prepare a place for you, I will

come again and receive you to myself.

But where I am, there you may also be.

And where I go, you know, and the way

you know.

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not

know where you are going, and how can we

know the way?"

Jesus said to them, "I am the way, the

truth, and the life. No one comes to the

Father except through me.

If you had known me, you would have

known my Father also. and from now on

you know him and have seen him.

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us a

father and it is sufficient for us."

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you

so long and yet you have not known me,

Philillip.

You have seen me have seen the father.

How can you say, "Show us the father."

Do you not believe that I am in the

father and the father in me? The words

that I speak to you, I do not speak on

my own authority.

But the Father who dwells in me does the

works. Believe me that I am in the

Father and the Father in me. or else

believe me for sake of the works

themselves.

Most assuredly I say to you, he who

believes in me, the works that I do, he

will do also and greater works. And

these he will do because I go to my

father. And whatever you ask in my name

that I will do. The father may be

glorified the son. If you ask anything

in my name, I will do it.

If you love me, keep my commandments,

and I will pay the Father, and he will

give you another helper, that he may

abide with you forever.

The Spirit of truth, whom the world

cannot receive, because it neither sees

him nor knows him, but you know him, for

he dwells with you and will be in you. I

will not leave you orphans. I will come

to you.

and a lot longer. And the world will see

me no more, but you will see me. Because

I live, you will live also. At that day,

you will know that I am in my father and

you in me and I in you. He who is my

commandments and keep them. It is he who

loves me. And he who loves me will be

loved by my father and I will love him

and manifest myself to him.

Judas, not his scariot, said to him,

"Lord, how is it that you will manifest

yourself to us, not to the world?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "If

anyone loves me, you will keep my word,

and my father will love him, and we will

come to him and make a home with him.

He who does not love me does not keep my

words and the word which you hear is not

mine but the fathers who sent me.

These things I have spoken to you while

being present with you.

But the helper the Holy Spirit whom the

Father will send in my name. He will

teach you all things and bring to your

remembrance all things that I said to

you. Peace I leave with you.

My peace I give to you.

Not as the world gives do I give to you.

Let not your heart be troubled. Never

let it be afraid. You heard me say to

you, I am going away and coming back to

you.

If you loved me, you would rejoice

because I said, I am going to the

father. For my father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it comes

that when it does come to pass you may

believe.

I will no longer be told much of you.

The ruler of this world is coming and he

has nothing in me but that the world may

know that I love the father and as the

father gave me commandment so I do

otherwise let us go from here.

>> Thank you so much. is the most beautiful

piece of scripture in the word. And we

see that multiple times. And the Lord

uses the Hebrew words in there. Those

who keep my mitzvah love me. Those are

the ones that love me. Those who keep

the Torah, those are the ones that love

me. So he uses the words for the Hebrew

pieces of the law.

He says, "If you really love me, you

will keep them.

You will be shmer is the Hebrew word for

that. You will not only be shimmer, you

will not only be hearers of the words,

but you will be doers of the word.

Does that mean we need to wash our hands

like the Hebrews 60 times, turn three

times

around, and then start eating? No. No.

Paul and Peter actually sat for five

days and they could not agree on this.

That's why I say if we do not finish

this teaching today, we will carry on

next week. Because if it took those two

men five days to get at a point where

they could agree,

then we might as well spend a few days

on this. Are we still under the law? If

the Lord says clearly in his own words,

don't become

apostate. Don't fall into that trap of

the great apostasy that's coming.

Keep my commandments

because you love me. And if you love me,

you are in my love and in the father's

love. So we do not want to fall from

that from the love of God. I promise you

you don't do not want to fall from that.

So what is it that Paul understood about

this that took him five days to sat with

Peter and tell him this is what the Lord

says. We are no longer under the law.

We cannot go to the Gentiles and

proclaim to them the complete 613

commandments

of Moses

because there's something else. And then

we read the book of Romans,

most difficult book in scripture ever

written. And in there somewhere Paul

says to them, I talk to you in easy

terms because you are spiritually

immature. And I I'm like, oh my

goodness, if he had to talk with us in

2026 and he thought they were

spiritually immature

and I read scripture, Romans, and I'm

like, what are you trying to say here?

Um, it is a difficult book, but we're

going to try and see what Paul says

there. So he starts in Romans 2 and he

says 13 do not only shea

and the Lord comes first and he says

open your ears she now open your ears.

Then Paul comes and he says, "Yeah, she

is good. But now I also want you to be

shmer. I also want you to be doers, not

only listeners."

Romans 2 verse 13.

Barbara,

will you read that beautiful verse to

us? Only Romans 2 verse 13.

Okay. Uh the amplified version,

>> any version.

>> Okay.

>> All of them are beautiful.

>> So I'm going to go to verse 13.

For it is not those who merely hear the

law who are just or righteous before

God, but it's those who actually obey

the law who will be justified,

pronounced free of the guilt of sin and

declare it acceptable to him.

>> Isn't that beautiful? Let's read it

again, Barbara, so that it can really

fall into our hearts.

For is it not those who merely hear the

law as it is read aloud, who are just or

righteous before God, but it is those

who actually obey the law, who will be

justified, pronounced free of the guilt

of sin and declared acceptable to him.

Wow. So there again we hear Paul say you

are not here to nullify the law

and then he goes to

Maron. Can you please read for us Romans

3 the very very last verse

31.

Yeah.

Speaker key.

>> Switch on your speaker.

>> Okay.

>> Thank you.

>> 3 verse 31.

>> Yes.

>> Just get it here.

Do we then make void the law through

faith? Certainly not. On the contrary,

we establish the law.

>> And now I want to tell you what that

word establish means. In another

um I think in the amplified he says we

uphold the law.

Um and the Hebrew word

for uphold

is sonic.

So not only is it a letter

s

it is also a word and it means to

uphold to support

and that's something

and that's why John 14 is so important

because if you really really love

someone and we are looking forward to

the coming of Christ.

We are looking forward to the

We as the bride and the Holy Spirit

calls out to our bridegroom,

come Lord Jesus, come

because the sonic

is the wedding band.

So as the bride,

we uphold scripture. We uphold the

commands of our bridegroom

because we are in love. We love him with

our whole heart, body, mind, and soul.

And we are crying out for our bride, our

bridegroom to come. The stoic is the

wedding band.

Um, the Hebrews believe that at Mount Si

when Moses received the Ten

Commandments, it was a marriage that

took place between Yave and the

Israelites.

You can go and read up on that. It was a

marriage and that's why the summit was

suspended in those first two tablets

that Moses destroyed after he saw the

golden calf.

So

the word for to uphold the law

is summit.

We are married. So if you know your

husband

um like you can ask me anything and I

will answer you and then you can go and

lock me up in a room and then you can

ask my husband the same question and we

will sound the same. We will give you

the same answer.

that we are married for 30 years now and

um that's how much we love each other

and how well we know each other. So when

Abraham and if you look at the first

seven chapters of Romans

before there was a rule before Moses

Abraham walked the earth

and on the basis of his faith that's why

I highlighted that in scripture because

of his faith

God appointed righteousness to him. He

was in right standing. It was before the

cross. It was before the cross. We are

very very fortunate to live post cross.

I cannot

make that more clear. We are very very

fortunate to live post cross. This was

before the cross. Because of his faith,

God appointed to him righteousness. he

could be in right standing with the Lord

so that the Lord could walk with him

again and what the Lord did at Mount Si

and Moses because Moses wrote the Torah.

Even if there were things in there about

Adam and Eve and Cion and Arble and

Abraham,

it's Moses wrote the first five books.

And it was because of the oral Torah

that was like um you know folk tales

that he could wrote about Adam and Eve

and the Garden of Eden and what but

Moses wrote the first five books, the

Torah.

He also wrote all the mitzvah.

And that's why the Israelites

put such a high stature to Moses. You um

and why they sometimes distort the image

of Moses and puts him above the Lord

Jesus Christ because he was the most he

he was the one that led them out of

Egypt.

who was the most powerful prophet that

walked the earth except for the Lord

Jesus Christ.

Most of them are still Orthodox Jews.

They do not believe that Jesus was the

Messiah. They are still waiting for

their Messiah. But there's also a group

that's called the Messianic Jews.

Messianic means Messiah that converted

to Christian belief, sorry, which

believes that Jesus was the Messiah. And

that is the Messianic Jews. But there's

still a lot of secular Jews and there's

still a lot of Orthodox Jews that do not

believe. They are not Christians. But

there is a group of Messianic Jews in in

Israel,

the remnant of the Israelites.

So

what Paul tried to explain in chapter 1

to 7 is

because of the cross

we are no longer in fear of judgment

because where there is a law if you

transgress that law, there is

punishment. And we've seen a few times

now in scripture that the Lord is coming

back to judge.

So what grace came and perfected for us

when we believed in the cross and the

Lord redeemed us and he gave us his

salvation.

There was also grace that was poured

out. Not only did he restore our

righteousness because of our faith and

believing in him like Abraham believed,

grace was poured out.

And because of that grace,

we no longer stand in fear of the law.

We can uphold it because it's written in

our hearts. The Holy Spirit that wrote

it on the tablets wrote it on the

tablets of our hearts. So we w we are

not above it. We do not nullify it. We

do not come apostate from it. We uphold

it because it's inherent in us.

all the good things that the Lord

intended for the Lord to be. Not all the

small human rituals that was um the far

and the sicers added in there. Not all

the small rituals, all the

beautiful

foundations of our kingdom that's

coming, the laws of our kingdom that's

coming

was written in there. And that is

written in our hearts now because of

grace.

So we have that inherent moral law that

comes from the Holy Spirit that makes us

want to listen to the commands of the

Lord because the commands is still

coming. There's still coming commands

from heaven.

Even if it's only for you in your

personal life to adhere to the commands

is ongoing.

The Lord, he did not stop being the

rabbi. He did not stop breaking open the

word as he did with the parables. He did

not stop being your chief commander in

the spirit world. He is your rabbi. And

that is what the word rabbi means. is

your teacher. He's giving you commands,

but he's also your chief commander in

the army of heaven.

He's the chief commander of the angels

and he's the chief commander of his

ministers on earth who is the

Christians. He still gives commands.

He is the chief commander.

Um, so if you look in every single book

in the New Testament, it's a little bit

difficult in the gospel books because

it's all over when they talk about

Messiah. But if you go to scripture and

I can quickly run you through it and you

look at all the books that Paul wrote

and let's sum jump to Romans while we're

there and you go to the first book

he will call upon Jesus in his full

names

from shaw a servant of rebiah

that's his full names that's his titles

and they always start off by Rabbi

because he is the chief commander. Um

let's jump to another book. Let's go to

Galatians

one again. and he greetss the the the um

the people of that place and then he

always comes with

Hashem

grace

and covenant love

because he's talking to people that's in

covenant with God because of the blood

of Yeshua

to you. Shalom Hashem from Elohim Ain

God your father and

Adonai.

There's his full names.

Let's jump to the next one. Ephesians

again. He comes, he greets the people of

Ephesians and then he says

to you and shalom from Elohim and

Messiah.

Let's jump to another one. I'm just

going to read one more and I promise you

it's in every book. He greets them again

and then he says

in verse two and shalom from Elohim and

Adonai

Messiah

that's his full names. So we're just

looking at the first one of those names

now. So when he tells you in John 14 if

you call upon my name

which David read David read so beautiful

um when you call upon the go and read

John 14 again if you ask anything in my

name if you call upon my name for those

who love me and keep my commandments but

so you know him as your rabbi can ask me

anything

in the will of the father and I will

grant it. I will grant it. So many times

I see Christians that pray and do not

receive.

And my question is why?

Why? So I want to end off and then we're

going to talk a little bit. Um

it was the popup verse

in this week or Sunday. I think it was

Sunday.

And it's Ecclesiastics

12 verse3.

So the end of the matter. Uh, Monique,

please read it for us, please.

>> Ezekiel,

Bible, the scriptures.

especi

12 verse 13.

Okay.

Let us hear I got it. Let us hear the

conclusion of the entire matter. Fear

Elohim and guard his commands for this

applies to all mankind.

All mankind.

So I'm just going to read it slowly

again. The end of the matter.

Fear God and keep his commandments.

Now I want to

just um

read one John 4 verse 18. There's no

fear in love but perfect love

cast out fear.

Now the word Hebrew word for fear here

in 1 John 4:18 is

it's the fear of judgment

specifically the dread of punishment

or judgment

the fear that is written here in

Ecclesiastics 12:13 is yach

that's that all inspiring ing

honor

all that we have for the most high. And

so it's completely different words in

Hebrew. Don't be confused because it's

the same word in English. Don't be

confused. Bahad is from Satan. Yachae

mind flows directly out of the throne of

the most high. It's that all inspiring

um it's what the Holy Spirit puts in us

because we are um face to face with the

most high

and because we have no more fear for

punishment because the Lord came and

restored that on the cross. We have no

fear of the punishment that is because

of the transgression of the law. We can

serve

as faithful servants upholding the law

now because we have no fear because the

love in us is perfect. We keep the

commandments because we love him

not because we fear punishment and

therefore we are no longer under the

law.

So, I hope it makes sense.

Let's talk. Yeah, very important. Sorry.

Um,

you remember last time I talked about

there's certain in in the Torah, um,

there's certain

verses where a Hebrew letter will be

enlarged. Like in the shea the ain that

I talked about last time is enlarged and

the dal

this specific verse it's the only time

in scripture where the stomach is

enlarged.

So if you read that verse you the

stomach is

enlarged and you know it has to do with

the letter summit. So if you read that

verse in Hebrew and you see that in our

summit, you know it stands for love.

It stands for you are no longer in fear

of punishment. It stands for you uphold

the law because of your faith. you are

righteous now and not because of you're

trying to keep all the all the little

small um things in the law that was

written all 613 of them and you know

that we are working with the second

coming.

So only that small letter being enlarged

speaks volumes.

Speaks volumes.

Is there any questions? Please let's

talk a little bit.

>> Sorry, can I ask something?

>> I believe

>> what is that verse? Is it um Romans 3:31

where that letter is

>> near

Ecclesiastics 12. It's the very last

verse in

>> I say therefore the end of the matter is

fear God and keep his commandments. And

remember that fear is not dread. It's

not because we are afraid.

It's because we have all for the for the

creator.

Det.

>> Yes. In

>> relation to um the human heart. Just

just because I think the Lord reminded

me just in in that that this the Greek

symbol he used for it. Um

it kind of like um fits fits into that

symbol

if you

>> Yeah. I guess um but um it's a good case

I all respect I insist to speak in

English please.

>> Okay. All right.

>> Okay. So um

so um the the part where said something

about um when when you cut something in

the in the middle of the circle it will

not it will

fall out.

So the same way as as the um the two

tablets were created.

>> Okay.

>> Yes. Yes.

So the same way.

>> So so in the same way

I believe that God will says he will

write it on the tablets of our hearts.

>> Ah

>> in the same way that even that that that

what he written on our hearts shall not

through the power of the holy spirit

shall not

um fall

>> fall down.

I hope I understand you correct.

>> Yes. Is it about the heart? The thus of

Is is that what you're asking? Yes.

>> And and that what is written in the

heart is eternity. Do I understand you

correctly?

>> The laws which the Lord has written upon

our hearts. Yes.

>> Yes. Um so the heart I I hope I

understand you correctly.

>> So the heart is the seed

um of our souls.

Um, although it's a flesh thing, it's

where the spirit lives and it's also

where our emotion seeds are. And it's

because of the Hebrew word heart. And

it's the it's the lame and the bite that

spells the word le. It's the heart. And

that's why it makes also that sound

if you if you look at um medicine. Um so

the heart is not only a physical thing.

If you look at the Hebrew letters you

will understand it completely because

leop

which is the complete word of le the

heart means your spirit your soul your

emotions see. So it is the complete

inner being.

The fleshly heart is going to stand stay

behind. It's it's got actually nothing

to do with your flesh heart. It's about

the Hebrew word that compiles up what

the heart is about. And it's about the

soul and the spirit that's going to

heaven. Where Hebrews said, "And your

spirit, the Holy Spirit will testify

together with your spirit and your soul

that you are a child of God." It's about

that inner being of yours. And that's

why if it's inscribed in there, it's

going nowhere. It's going. It cannot be

ripped from there because it's not a

fleshy thing. It's about the Do I

understand you correctly? Did I answer

you correctly?

>> Thank you. Definitely gave me that that

little extra bit of clarity I needed.

So,

>> oh, and then I just want to clarify the

letter L for you. Lame is the shepherd's

book. When the Lord comes and he says

he's the good shepherd, he will guide

you and he's coming out of his house.

So it's the good shepherd that came

down. Isn't it beautiful? So that is

what he writes upon your heart. Okay.

Thank you, Dar.

>> Thank you. Thank you.

>> Dear Dre,

I've not heard your voice this morning.

I'm still processing.

>> Are you a first year OR A SECOND YEAR?

>> First year.

>> That's why you processing.

Listen. Um, it took Paul and Peter five

days to process and that's after they

received the Holy Spirit. So,

so take take your time. Honestly, take

your time. Is there anything that's

unclear? Do you understand the concept

that we um are not under the law? We are

not under that um

condemnation.

We are free from that. We live as free

children of God being accepted being

adopted as being our Elohim sons of the

most high.

Process that you are a son of the high.

>> Yeah. Yes. Okay,

>> I would like to ask you a question,

especially about the law and about the

Torah. Um, I have done a little bit of

uh research about the Ten Commandments,

but I've got two questions about the Ten

Commandments. It's about the Shabbat and

about the images of of what um Yahweh

said we cannot use. So the uh the image

is not that important right now, but I

mostly want to hear about the Shabbat.

Do we still have to do the Shabbat

according to the law? Like if I want to

understand it correctly, if you so we

are not under the under the law anymore,

but there are still Messianic people

that still believe that if you want to

be have more a blessing, you have to

keep the Shabbat. I want to understand

that one, please. Are you talking about

the Messianic Jews or the Orthodox Jews?

Because everybody

>> Okay. Okay. I've got to answer you. Is

the Shabbat Saturday? Okay. So now, now

we must remember. So the Shabbat is from

sun down to um sundown. You see that?

Not like we wake up with the kiss that's

outside and it starts in the morning and

tonight we go to sleep. No, no, no, no.

In Hebrew, the the start of the day is

sundown. So on Friday 6:00, everything

shuts down in in Jerusalem. Everything

until sundown Saturday. Y then they come

out in leaps and bounds and they start

partying. Okay. So when is Shabbat? Is

it that Saturday or is the Shabbat on

Sunday? like we keep the Sunday as the

holy day, the day of rest.

So first of all, if we want to talk

about the Shabbat,

we need to

answer the question, when is it? When

are we going to keep it? And when is it?

And here's my answer. Here's my answer.

Look at the Hebrew word. The Lord says,

"And on the seventh day, he rested." In

Genesis 2,

it kicks off with that that verse. It

ends in Genesis 1 and then it starts in

Genesis 2. It kicks off with the

Sabbath. Now, when he said, "And on the

seventh day, God rested is the first

time that the word Shabbat makes it

appearance in in the Torah, in the word

of God. And if you look at what

happened, he did not rest from his

works. His works continued.

Am I right? He rested from the work

that was done the first six days. But

then in Hebrews, and why I say is

because I I read in Hebrew scripture,

they they haven't something happened on

that seventh day. And I'm not going to

go into that now. Otherwise, we're going

to lose this part of this teaching.

But the Shabbat, the Hebrew word means

he dwelt in the kingdom.

So what he created on the first six

days, he started dwelling in it. And

that's why he dwelt with Adam.

So the Sabbath is a spiritual and that's

why the Lord says in Luke and I think um

in the other gospels as well where he

listen the the Orthodox Jews you cannot

even open a cupboard.

You're not allowed to open a cupboard.

Do you really want to go there? I don't

think so. They not allowed to pick up a

suitcase.

They not they stay in their houses from

sundown Friday to Sunday Saturday.

Sundown Saturday. They're not allowed to

pick up their keys.

There's no cars driving in Jerusalem.

And then the Lord did something. The

Lord Jesus Christ Messiah Adonai did the

following. He and his disciples walked

through a field with grain and they

picked the grain and they um ate the

grain and the Phariseeers went crazy

because of the desecration of the

Sabbath as they believed it should be.

And then the Lord spoke the following

words.

I am Lord over the Sabbath. The Sabbath

is not Lord over me.

So if we are in Christ and the Lord is

dwelling in his kingdom, he's coming to

take his kingdom. It's not good news for

Satan. It's good news for us though.

He's coming to take his kingdom back.

Adam was the ruler of Har the earth as

we know it. The Lord is coming to take

it back. But through the Lord, we are in

that position to take the kingdom back.

So the Sabbath is a concept of

understanding the kingdom, understanding

your position in the kingdom

and to dwell accordingly

in that kingdom.

Does it make sense?

It's good to rest.

The Lord

did put that day of sorry rest into

place for a for a for a reason.

We cannot continue 24/7. So that's also

a important concept. the things that the

Lord um uh in um oh now my English word

is gone pointed in in um in his rule

book if I can say it like that was for

the good of man not for the punishment

it was for the good of man so it's good

to rest

but if you remember that you are in

Christ and you are Lord over the Sabbath

the Sabbath is not Lord over you we

uphold that scripture

But with the right mind, the mind of

Christ.

Does it make sense?

We do not bend in front of anything

else.

as a means.

Okay.

Dr.

Hello.

Perfect.

Um, who did it

excited with

said, "And the Holy Spirit will teach

you everything that you need to know.

And because we love him, we want to

listen to him.

We want to listen to him.

>> That is the concept. That is the

concept.

Fore!

We love him and that's why we listen to

him and we do.

Yes.

Oh,

um, I

Um in Psalm 119 from verse 113 to 120

it's actually the the heading is called

>> oh

>> 119

>> oh

>> can I read it can I read it

the whole 190 it's got the whole Hebrew

alphabet

Oh wow. Okay.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Please read it to us. Yes.

>> It's seven verses. It says, "I hate

double-minded men, but I love your law.

You are my refuge and my shield. I have

put my hope in your word. Away from you.

>> I love your law.

Okay.

I hate a double-minded man, but I love

your law. You are my refuge and my

shield. I have put my hope.

Do you know that the Hebrew letter,

the ancient Hebrew is a shield?

>> Oh, wow.

>> Mhm.

Um, is a shield. The ancient later

is a shield

device.

Oh, okay.

Nice.

So

because it's about the law and the love,

the wedding band and the shield that the

sonic is. Isn't it beautiful?

And the he first come with I love your

law and then he comes with your word is

my shield.

It's beautiful, Nadia. Okay, continue.

Sit on. I speak again. Yeah.

>> I have put my hope in your word. Away

from me, you evildoers, that I may keep

your commands of my God. Sustain me

according to your promise and I shall

live.

>> Do not stop.

>> Sorry.

>> That's right.

>> The meaning of sake is to sustain, to

uphold, and to support.

Yes. How nice.

Okay. Sustain me according to your

promise and I shall live. Do not let my

hopes be dashed. Uphold me and I shall

be delivered.

I will always have regard for your

decrees. You reject all those who stray

from your decrees. For their

deceitfulness is in vain. All the wicked

of the earth you shall discard like

dross. Therefore I love your statutes.

My flesh trembles in fear of you. I

stand in awe of your laws.

So,

did the Lord just put it in your heart?

beautifully.

And that's what I want from this Bible

study. Um, I want us to interact. I want

one to come with scripture. I want one

to come with a revelation. I want one to

I want us to interact like the body of

Christ. I want someone to just ask a

question because that question opens up

a whole lot of other stuff. Um, Bible

study is about breaking bread together.

We are breaking the bread of God with

the with the um, uh, assistance of the

Holy Spirit together because this

scripture takes everything

and it puts it into a summary. So, we're

going to meditate on this

piece of Psalms 119. We're going to

meditate. Please um share it with us on

the group

um that scripture um so that we can go

and meditate because everything that

came out from all the different

scriptures that we did today is put into

those seven verses.

Spiritual perfection.

Wow. Nia. Wow. Thank you.

Wow.

Whom did I not talk to?

Is there anybody else?

Oh, Barbie. Barbara, where are you? Are

you still with us?

>> I'm here.

>> Yay.

Because you are not on my top bar, so

I'm searching for you.

>> What can you add for us? Would you like

to add something?

>> You know, uh, Dr. Petra, the only thing

I can say it is what I'm experiencing.

I'm also a first year. So I'm also still

still talkinging and processing you.

>> But it is just amazing how when you

actually start reading the scriptures

where a lot of people

may think that the Old Testament and the

New Testament is like two different

books but actually integrates

>> how we can use it in our daily lives.

It is just amazing how everything blends

in and how the Lord actually just

you know like in the body it's it's

built together

and the importance of us just spending

time and not disregarding the Old

Testament.

>> Absolutely.

Because the Lord is the same yesterday,

today and tomorrow. He's not going to

change. He's going to stay the same. And

um and what he said in the beginning, he

always said in the end and it stays the

same. And we need to take whole

scripture for our edification. We need

to look at all of it and and we will

find that was that what was written in

the Old Testament did not change. It did

not change.

It's design in the New Testament.

Well,

what happened?

You are still dead. Dr. Petra.

Yay.

Maybe

I'm so computer illiterate.

>> But thank you Dr. Petra for your time.

>> Oh, thank you so much.

>> Have a blessed day. Have a blessed day.

>> Thank you. Can I ask um Lady Noria to

end off for us please?

>> Thank you Lord for your goodness and

your mercy and thank you Lord for

teaching us. Thank you father that we

can just say you are a good father.

Thank you father that you are our

teacher. You are you lead us through

your spirit and we thank you father for

your spirit of truth father. Lord, I

bless each one receiving the word of

truth today, Lord, that it will uh bring

forth fruit, good fruit, Father, that

every um seed that was sown in our

hearts, Lord, that you will come with

your Holy Spirit, Lord. And we ask that

you will water those seeds and that that

it will bring forth life and life and

abundance in each one of us. Thank you

Lord that you will restore a a deeper

hunger and a thirst in each one of us to

understand your law and what it means to

love you father the meaning of true love

and the meaning of loving you and loving

your commandments. Thank you father that

you bring this to us and into our hearts

Lord and we choose to accept it today in

the name of Jesus. We bless also Dr.

Petra today for bringing the word and we

ask that you will be with her today

wherever she goes and also with each one

receiving it today. Lord protect us even

um as we go out today and Lord I ask

>> Bye-bye everybody.

Bye.
