LESSON 227 (10-27-22) 
 
Romans 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God (at the 2nd Advent). 
 
"anxious longing" – APOKARADOKIA, ἀποκαραδοκία, (v.pmi); to await eagerly. This word is used seven times in the Bible and it refers to the rapture every time: (Rom. 8:19, 23, 25; 1 Cor. 1:7; Gal. 5:5; Phil. 3:20; Heb. 9:28) 
 
creation - nature (inanimate and animate) is personified as waiting eagerly for that time. 
 
This isn’t the only time that the Bible personifies nature: it speaks of rivers that “clap their hands” and mountains that “sing together for joy” (Psalm 98:8; cf. Isa 55:12-13) 
 
The land came under a curse when Adam fell and we now know that it will remain under 'undeserved suffering' until the 2nd Advent. In the Millennium, the Earth will revert back to a perfect environment like Adam had in the garden. 
 
Yet still after 1,000 years of perfect environment and a perfect Ruler, one third of the population of the Earth will again revolt against God. This demonstrates that the curse on the land is not responsible for man’s rejection and rebellion against God. 
 
Creation was subjected to futility as a part of God’s curse on sin: 
 
Read: Genesis 3:17-19 
 
Romans 8:20-21 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him (G.F.) who subjected it, in hope 21) that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption (the change of nature in the Millennium – Isa 11:6-9, Isa 35:1-7; Isa 65:25) into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 
 
futility – MATAIOTES, ματαιότης, a state of being without use or value, emptiness, futility, purposelessness 
 
The curse on creation is still felt by us today. If you have a garden, no one needs to tell you anything about the curse on the land. Preparing the soil is probably the hardest part. It has become harder in our time because the soil has lost its nutrients because it never is allowed to go fallow for a time. Artificial fertilizers are used that can’t compare with natures fertilizers. Planting has its problems also. Most seeds are hybrids or contain pesticides. All kinds of fertilizers are sprayed on plants that are harmful to animals, bees, birds, and people. Most of the food we buy is picked too early and additives are sprayed on it to make it last longer, taste better, and sometimes coloring or wax is sprayed on it to make it look better. 
 
Taste a home-grown tomato and compare it to a tomato from a grocery store. Just think about how wonderful the food tasted that Adam and Eve ate in the Garden of Eden.

LESSON 214 (9-8-22) 
Take always from the Berean Call Reprints above: 
1. The indwelling of the H.S. is not a mere figure of speech. 
 
2. Every Church Age believer automatically receives the indwelling of the 
 H.S. at the moment he or she is saved. 
 
3. The indwelling of the H.S, the indwelling of J.C., the filling of the H.S. 
 and the baptism of the H.S. all occur at the same time (moment of 
 salv.). But every one of these are distinct and function differently. 
 
4. The indwelling of the H.S. and indwelling of J.C. and the baptism of the 
 H.S. have this in common; they are permanent and irrevocable which 
 make them different from the filling of the H.S. 
 
5. Our relationship with God is based on faith and obedience, but the 
 indwelling of Christ & the Holy Spirit, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit 
 are not established nor maintained by faith or obedience. 
 
6. Since the filling of the H.S. is not permanent or irrevocable, it must be 
 maintained by faith and obedience. When we sin, we lose our “spiritual 
 status” and go into a “non-spiritual status” called “carnality”. 
 
7. God has graciously provided a way for us to regain our spiritual status 
 by acknowledging our sins to GF (1 John 1:9). This is the only way to 
 grow spiritually and to enhance our relationship with God. 
 
The following scriptures help shed light on the “law of the Spirit of life” we find in Romans 8:2. 
 
1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 
7) but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 
8) the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 
9) but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him." (Isa. 64:4) 
10) For to us God revealed them through the (Holy) Spirit; for the (Holy) Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 
11) For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the (human) spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 
12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world (activating principle influencing a person), but the (Holy) Spirit who is from God, that we might know (v.ras) the things freely given to us by God, 
13) which things we (Paul and his followers) also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the (Holy) Spirit, combining spiritual (pneumatikos) thoughts with spiritual (pneumatikos) words (sp. thoughts produce sp. words, ex. “redemption”, “justification” “sanctification”, “imputation”, “baptism” etc.) [*See the ESV version of vs. 13 below] 
14) But a natural man (psuchikos, “soulish” man, unbeliever) does not accept (v.pmi) the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them (he’s sp. dead), because they are spiritually appraised (examined). 
15) But he who is spiritual appraises (examines) (v.pai) all things, yet he himself is appraised (judged) by no one. 
16) For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ (Bible Doctrine). 
 
* (ESV) 1 Corinthians 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual (filled with the Holy Spirit).

INTRODUCTION 
 Exodus is an epic tale of fire, sand, wind, and water. The adventure takes place under the hot desert sun, just beyond the shadow of the Great Pyramids. There are two mighty nations—Israel and Egypt—led by two great men—Moses the liberating hero and Pharaoh the enslaving villain. Almost every scene is a masterpiece: the baby in the basket; the burning bush; the river of blood and the other plagues; the angel of death; the crossing of the Red Sea; the manna in the wilderness; the water from the rock; the thunder and lightning on the mountain; the Ten Commandments; the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night; the golden calf; the glory in the tabernacle. 
 It is the story that gives every captive the hope of freedom. The exodus shows that there is a God who saves and who delivers his people from bondage. 
 Exodus continues the story begun in Genesis, narrating what happens to Abraham and Sarah’s “seed” (their descendants) as the divine-human relationship continues. Just as Yahweh called them out of Ur to faithful obedience, so He calls their progeny out of Egypt. As in Genesis, the constancy of Yahweh preserves His chosen people in spite of their waywardness, albeit at a national level. Two specific occasions in Exodus highlight human failure and divine faithfulness: the deliverance Yahweh gives them in their exodus from Egypt (chaps. 1–18) and the instruction Yahweh gives them at Sinai (chaps. 19–40). Indeed, the purpose of Exodus is to demonstrate the outworking of the Lord’s unique relationship with his people through these two major events. 
 
The Book of Exodus connects the people under God’s Covenant promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:2) to the beginning of the theocratic kingdom under Moses. The people connected with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were miraculously saved from harsh servitude and placed under the Mosaic Covenant so that they might become “a holy nation” (Ex. 19:6), 
The book of Exodus records the redemption of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt and their establishment as a nation governed by terms of God’s covenant and the laws of God. During the roughly four hundred years in Egypt, the family of Jacob grew from seventy people to between two and three million. 
 
Hebrews 11:22 commends the faith of Joseph who, while on his deathbed (ca. 1804 B.C.), spoke of the “departure” or the “exiting” of the sons of Israel, looking ahead over 350 years to the Exodus (ca. 1446 B.C.). John MacArthur Jr., ed., The MacArthur Study Bible, electronic ed. (Nashville, TN: Word Pub., 1997), 91. 
 
Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. 
 
So, the sons of Israel were in Egypt for over 350 years until God used Moses to free them from hard bondage. That’s a long time, we still have four years to go before we in the United States will reach 250 years. 
Exodus chapter one shows us that the Israelites did nothing but multiply in numbers which caused the King of Egypt to enslave them. Very few rulers throughout history have not gone beyond their delegated authority and oppressed the people because of their insatiable lust for power. It is still happening today, indeed, it is happening to us. But there is One who will come who will rule over a government and uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. 
 
Read: Isaiah 9:6-10:4 
 
Part of an article on WND Aug. 6, 2022 
Senator calls Democrats' Left Wing 'the Enemy Within' 
'Today we face the greatest danger we have ever faced' 
 
America's far left has taken control of the Democratic Party, becoming an "enemy within" that has transformed the United States into an unrecognizable country, said Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida on Friday. 
 
"Today we face the greatest danger we have ever faced," said Scott in a speech at the Dallas, Texas, meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC 
 
The militant left-wing in our country has become the enemy within," he said. He argued the left, with outsized influence on the economy and culture, is portraying a dark vision of America as it targets patriotism, border security, gender and free speech. 
 
When you turn on the news at night, do you even recognize the country you see?" he asked. "Are you worried for your family? Are you worried for your freedoms? 
 
Scott said the "woke left now controls the Democrat Party, the entire federal government, the news media, academia, big tech, Hollywood, most corporate board rooms, and now even some of our top military leaders."

EXODUS LESSON 1 - Intro. Isaiah 9:8-10:4 God destroyed Israel for Wickedness. Are We Next? 8-7-22

Verses 12-21 deal with the topic of understanding how the entire human race becomes guilty of sin. 
 
The Scripture teaches that it was Adam's sin that brought about God’s condemnation on himself, but it also brought about God’s condemnation on all humanity. Why? Because Adam was designated as the head of the human race. So, as a result of his sin, all of his descendants became guilty as well. 
 
You see, Adam represented the entire human race, so when he fell, his entire lineage fell also. We are born spiritually dead because of Adam’s sin. 
 
Some people say that's not fair, that's a choice Adam made, but I would've made a different choice. Oh really? How do you know that? Such a statement comes from biblical ignorance and is an insult to the righteousness and justice of God. 
 
God set up Adam as the original human being and delegated that responsibility to him so his decision to sin against God would have consequences that would affect his entire progeny. God is omniscient and knew that if any other human being were put in that position, they would do the same thing. 
 
Verse 12 begins with a comparison and contrast between Adam and Christ and then verses 13 and 14 show the contrast in the relation between sin and death, and then 15 through 17 contrast Adam's sin with God's grace through Jesus Christ, then in 18 and 19, Adam’s sin and condemnation are contrasted with Christ's obedience and justification. So, all this answers the question as to how does death spreads to all men? 
 
Romans 5:12-13 Therefore [litterly – for this reason], just as through one man (Adam) sin (OSN) entered into the world, and (sp. & phy.) death through sin, and so (spiritual) death spread to all men because all sinned (when Adam sinned), 
 
Humans are not sinners because they sin, but rather they sin because they are sinners. 
 
Romans 6:23 For the wages of (Adam’s) sin is (sp. & phy.) death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
 
Romans 5:13 - for until the Law sin was (v. iai) in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 
 
FROM ADAM TO MOSES: Sin was in the world, death was in the world. But with the Law, we now have the revelation of personal acts of sin. Once the Law was given we have the charge of God's Righteousness made against man. These sins, now defined, have to be imputed. 
 
The OT Law brought to man the reality of personal acts of sin: 
Principles: 1. Adam's sin is imputed to the human race. In Adam, we all sinned. 
 
2. The Law defines personal acts of sins. Thou shalt and thou shalt not... 
 
3. Personal acts of sin are not imputed to any member of the human race. You cannot impute something to someone who is already dead and we are dead because of the imputation of Adam's sin. We’re born spiritually dead! 
 
4. Personal Acts of sin were covered by God in the OT and then, at the Cross imputed to Christ. 
 
5. The OT Law describes what would be imputed to Christ at the Cross 
 
6. Prior to the OT Law, personal acts of sin were not specifically defined. 
 
 
7. It took the OT Law to define personal acts of sin so they 
 could be imputed to Christ at the Cross.

ROMANS, LESSON 134, 1 Corinthians 15:22 -"In Adam all die" Do You Know What that Means? 10-28-21

Genesis 44:16 So Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found." 
 
This is a turning point. These beautiful words from Judah show that he and his brothers had finally been humbled. 
 
1. They didn’t know that this silver cup incident was contrived by Joseph to test them; they believed it was God disciplining them for what they did to Joseph. 
 
2. Note what Judah said: 
 1st question - What can I say to my lord? – They didn’t try to give an 
 excuse! 
 2nd question – What can we speak? – They didn’t lie or try to deceive. 
 They couldn’t so they didn’t even try. 
 3rd question - And how can we justify ourselves? – They couldn’t so 
 they didn’t even try. 
 3. God has found out the iniquity (gross injustice, sin, wickedness) of your servants (Joseph’s ten brothers). 
 
 1) God, of course, knew about their iniquity so this suggests that the 
 brothers acknowledged their sins to Him. 
 
 2) They could now be relieved from their heavy load of guilt that they 
 had carried for 20 yrs. 
 
 3) They would no longer have to lie or keep secrets from their family and 
 friends anymore. 
 
 4) They were willing to receive whatever consequences there would be 
 for what they had done to their brother Joseph. 
 
 5) They wanted to do what was right and honorable: become slaves 
 even though the silver cup wasn’t found in any of their sacks. 
 
 6) What could have been the motivation for doing such an admirable 
 and noble thing? 
 
 7) They understood the importance of family and how important it is to 
 love one another and to stick together. 
 
 8) In Gen. 42:11 & 34 they lied, saying that they were “honest men”. Now 
 in Gen. 44:16, they were honest men.

Genesis 44:16  So Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found."

MBE LESSON 200, Gen. 44:16, Joseph's Brothers are Humbled & Confess their Sins to God, 10-24-21

This is a quote from Psalm 32:1-2. This psalm was written by David after his adultery with Bathsheba and his murder of her husband (2 Sam. 11). Read: Psalm 32:1-5 
The reason that God imputed His own righteousness to David rather than his lawless deeds is because he believed in the promise of the Messiah/Savior who would take away the sins of the world. What a tremendous blessing it is to receive the righteousness of God rather than a one-way ticket to the Lake of Fire. 
 
 “The disparity between legalism and grace is seen most clearly in the way God grants a right standing to people of faith.” [rather than of works] 
 
When O.T. believers believed the gospel, their sins were forgiven and when they acknowledged their sins to God, their sins were also forgiven (Psa. 32:5). 
 
The point is 'forgiveness of sin' is a 'take away' or subtraction. Imputation of divine righteousness is an addition. It is the 'addition' of the imputation of divine righteousness that permits saved humans to live with a perfect God - and we do not earn it or deserve it - it is a gift from God. 
 
When a believer acknowledges his sin to God, it is impossible for Him to still impute sin to him or refuse to forgive him. 
 
Psalm 103:11-12 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12) As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

This is a quote from Psalm 32:1-2. This psalm was written by David after his adultery with Bathsheba and his murder of her husband (2 Sam. 11). Read: Psalm 32:1-5

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (baptism of the H.S.). 
 
condemnation – KATAKRIMA, κατάκριμα, n. nsn; judicial pronouncement upon a guilty person, condemnation, punishment, penalty. There is no death-sentence for those who are in Christ Jesus 
 
8:2 For the law (principle) of the Spirit of life (being filled w/ the H.S.) has set you free (v. aai) in Christ Jesus (He disempowered the O.S.N.) from the law (principle) of (perpetual) sin and (temporal) death. 
 
Romans 7:22-23 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23) but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin (OSN) that dwells in my members. 
 
The result of the filling of the H.S. (Ephesians 5:18) 
Romans 8:6 To set the mind on the flesh is death (functionally dead) but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 
 
8:3-4 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4) in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 
 
Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh (OSN), you must die; but if by the Spirit (filled w/ the H.S.) you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Calvinist’s claim that the words ”that not of yourselves” refers to “faith” and the “gift of God” refers to it also. They believe that man does not have free will to have faith in Jesus Christ so the Holy Spirit gives those who God chooses to save to be the recipient of the gift of faith. 
 
Others claim that the words ”that not of yourselves” refer to “salvation” and the “gift of God” refers to it also. The grammar, however, resolves the issue. 
 
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace [noun dative sing. fem. of charis] you have been saved [participle perfect pass. nominative masculine plural of sozo] through faith [genitive sing. of pistis]; and that [pronoun nominative singular of houtos] not of your- selves, it is the gift [noun nominative neuter of doron] of God; 9) not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 
In Gr. nouns have five cases that show how nouns function in a sentence. The nominative case indicates the subject of the sentence. 
Notice that “faith” is not in the nominative case, but is in the genitive case which usually indicates possession of something. Ex. “the blood of Christ” – of Christ would be in the genitive case to show that the blood belongs to Christ. It doesn’t relate to the subject of a sentence. 
 
Since those in the reformed camp believe that man does not have the ability to have faith in Jesus Christ, God has to give them the faith to believe (called irresistible grace). But in Eph. 2:8, the phrase “that (nom. case) not of yourselves” does not refer “faith” (gen. case) but to salvation (nom. case). 
Also, the phrase. “the gift (nom. case) of God” does not refer “faith” (gen. case) but to salvation (nom. case).

It wasn’t right for Jacob to leave without saying a word to a Laban who was a member of his family, especially after living with for 20 years. 
Why did he leave the way he did? FEAR! He was afraid to face Laban and tell him that they were leaving. And why was he afraid? Because he didn’t trust God. That’s always the cause of fear. 
Remember, fear is a choice for believers. We can choose to trust God and have courage, or we can choose to ignore or doubt God and be afraid.

Remember, fear is a choice for believers. We can choose to trust God and have courage, or we can choose to ignore or doubt God and be afraid.

The Proverbs 31 woman does not follow the world’s standards of feminine achievement focused on physical beauty and womanly charm. Instead, 
 she has chosen to anchor her life on the “fear of Yahweh” (v. 30), the true basis of all wisdom. [Tom R. Hawkins, “The Wife of Noble Character in Proverbs 31:10–31,” Bibliotheca Sacra 153 (1996): 22.]
