About Sukkot

Open line September 30, 2023 Hour 1

Information about Sukkot from Dr Michael Rydelnik: @beginning of program

https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx?episode=550206&hour=1

Summary:

Festival of Sukkot=Festival of Booths=Festival of Tabernacles=Feast of In-gathering

Biblical roots of Sukkot found in Leviticus 23:33 onwards

Two aspect of Sukkot;

  1. It is designed to be an agricultural festival, a harvest festival (Leviticus 23:39)
  2. It is a historical festival, it remembers God’s provision in the wilderness (Leviticus 23:42-43)

The Biblical period, if you look at other passages, it enumerates all the sacrifices that are offered during the week. It comes to 70 sacrifices in the old testament when there was a tabernacle. The Rabbi taught that it represents the 70 nations of the earth that Genesis talks about. It implies that is the period when all the nations will know the Lord.

Deuteronomy 16:16-17 teaches that the individual Israelite should have a gift ready to give to the Lord during Sukkot because it is a festival of thanksgiving.

By the new testament times, 2 customs developed:

  1. The water libation
  2. The torch ceremony

John 7:2,37, John 8:12 are passages in the new testament with the above ceremonies as its context,

Prophetic aspect of sukkot:

33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.

37 ‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.

39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.

40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. -nkjv

16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you. -nkjv

John 7

2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. -nkjv

7 marks of a right heart before God part 7 by JC Ryle

A right heart is HONEST, UNDIVIDED and TRUE (Luke 8:15; 1 Chron. 12:33; Heb. 10:22). There is nothing about it of falsehood, hypocrisy, or image-acting. It is not double or divided. It really is what it professes to be, feels what it professes to feel, and believes what it professes to believe. Its faith may be feeble. Its obedience may be very imperfect. But one thing will always distinguish the right heart. Its religion will be real, genuine, thorough, and sincere.

Is the phrase “Son of God” a title?

Open line on 30th September 2023 Hour 1

Tricia Mcmillan:

Our first question is from Alfredia in Ohio, listens to WCRF, wants to know if the phrase “Son of God” is a title?

Answer from Michael Rydelnik @29:57mins

https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx?episode=550206&hour=1

Summary:

The phrase “Son of God” is clearly a title and is rooted in Psalm 2:7 and Psalm 2:12. It denotes the notion of incarnation of Jesus and epitomizes God for it is written that Jesus said “Whoever has seen me has seen God”

Scripture:

Psalm 2

7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You. -njkv

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. -kjv

7 “I will announce the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have fathered You. -nasb

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father. -niv

Psalm 2

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. -nkjv

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. -kjv

12 Kiss the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! -nasb

12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him. -niv

7 marks of a right heart before God part 6 by JC Ryle

 A right heart is a heart that FEELS CONFLICT within it (Gal. 5:17). It finds within itself two opposing principles contending for the mastery—the flesh lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. It knows by experience what Paul means when he says, “I see a law in my members warring against the law of my mind” (Rom. 7:23). The wrong heart knows nothing of this strife. The strong man keeps the wrong heart as their palace, and their goods are at peace (Luke 11:21). But when the rightful King takes possession of the heart, a struggle begins which never ends until death. The right heart may be known by its warfare, quite as much as by its peace.

source: http://www.jcryle.info

Scripture

Galatians 5

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. -nkjv

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. -kjv

17 For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, in order to keep you from doing whatever you want. -nasb

17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. -niv

Romans 7

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  -nkjv

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. -kjv

23 but I see a different law in the parts of my body waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin, the law which is in my body’s parts. -nasb

23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. -niv

Luke 11

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.  -nkjv

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: -kjv

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are secure.  -nasb

21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.  -niv

Did the Messiah die for everyone or only for the elect?

Open line program on Aug 26, 2023 hour 1

Question:

Tricia Mcmillan:

Our first question is from Instagram, we are on instagram, we are openline radio is our handle on instagram but Steve wants to know if the Messiah died for everyone or only for the elect?

Answer from Dr Michael Rydelnik: @33mins

https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx?episode=545516&hour=1

Summary:

Dr Michael Rydelnik is of the opinion that the Messiah’s death is sufficient for the whole world if the whole world comes to faith but is efficient only for the elect.

Michael Rydelnik says that 2 Peter 2:1 teaches that Jesus indeed died for the whole world when the verse says that Jesus also died for the false teachers but only if they would have believed. False teachers in the bible are always those who have never believed.

Calvinist believes in the theology of limited atonement where the Messiah only died for the elect.

Scripture:

John 3

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -nkjv

2 Peter

 1But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. -nkjv

Romans 5

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -nkjv

Ephesians 5
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, -nkjv

1 John 2

2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. -nkjv

7 marks of a right heart before God part 5 by JC Ryle

 A right heart is a PRAYING heart. It has within it “the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba Father” (Rom. 8:15). Its daily feeling is, “Your face, Lord, will I seek” (Psalm 27:8). It is drawn by an habitual inclination to speak to God about spiritual things—weakly, feebly, and imperfectly perhaps—but speak it must. It finds it necessary to pour out itself before God, as before a friend, and to spread before Him all its needs and desires. It tells Him all its secrets. It keeps back nothing from Him. You might as well try to persuade a person to live without breathing, as to persuade the possessor of a right heart to live without praying.

Scripture

Romans 8

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” -njkv

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. -kjv

15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” -nasb

15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”  -niv

Psalm 27

8 When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” -nkjv

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. -kjv

8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “I shall seek Your face, Lord.” -nasb

8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. -niv

How long is the time when the Israelites left Egypt to the time King Saul became king of Israel?

Open line radio on August 19, 2023 with Dr Michael Rydelnik:

Mark: I have a question about timing. How long was it from the time the Israelites left Egypt to the time King Saul became king of Israel?

Answer: @16:55
https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx?episode=545367&hour=1

Summary:

According to 1Kings 6, the Israelite’s exodus took place in 1446 BC. 1050 BC is the date when Saul became king. So, it is about four hundred years. We know the date of David and Solomon ruled and the split of the kingdom in 930 BC. Saul, David and Solomon each had about 40 year’s reign.

Scriptures:

1 Kings

 1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord. -nkjv

1 Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, that is, the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord. -nasb

7 marks of a right heart before God part 4 by JC Ryle

A right heart is a PURIFIED heart (Acts 15:9; Matt. 5:8). It loves holiness, and hates sin. It strives daily to cleanse itself from all filthiness of flesh and spirit (2 Cor. 7:1). It abhors that which is evil, and cleaves to that which is good. It delights in the law of God, and has that law engraved on it, that it may not forget it (Psalm 119:11). It longs to keep the law more perfectly, and takes pleasure in those who love the law. It loves God and people. Its affections are set on things above. It never feels so light and happy as when it is most holy; and it looks forward to heaven with joy, as the place where perfect holiness will at length be attained.

Scriptures

Acts 15

8 So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, 9 and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith -nkjv

For they shall see God. -nkjv

1Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. -nkjv

1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. -kjv

1Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. -nasb

1Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. -niv

That I might not sin against You. -nkjv

So that I may not sin against You. -nasb

Are the twenty four elders humans or angels?

The land and the book, moody radio, August 12, 2023 with Dr Charlie Dyer and Jon Gauger.

Question:

Jon Gauger:

Reggie takes us all the way to the end of the bible in the book of Revelation in chapter 5 verse 10 it says ” And have made us kings and priests to our God and we shall reign on earth…” but other version he says like the nasb, esv and niv have they instead of us, why is there a difference and to whom it is refering?

Answer from Dr Charlie Dyer:

https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx?episode=538008

At 32:04

Summary:

In KJV and NKJV, it can be inferred that when they use “us”, they are implying that the 24 elders represent humans, either the church or the church and Israel and in NASB, NIV, it can be inferred that they are implying that the 24 elders are a class of angels.

corrected from “either the church or the church in Israel”

Scripture:

Revelation 5

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.” -nkjv

8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. -kjv

 8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they *sang a new song, saying,

“Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

10 You have made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth.” -nasb

 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood you purchased for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
    and they will reign on the earth.” -niv

7 marks of a right heart before God part 3 by JC Ryle

 A right heart is a heart which BELIEVES ON CHRIST ALONE for salvation, and in which Christ dwells by faith (Rom. 10:10; Eph. 3:17). It rests all its hopes of pardon and eternal life on Christ’s atonement, Christ’s mediation, and Christ’s intercession. It is sprinkled in Christ’s blood from an evil conscience (Heb. 10:22). It turns to Christ as the compass-needle turns to the north. It looks to Christ for daily peace, mercy, and grace—as the sun-flower looks to the sun. It feeds on Christ for its daily sustenance, as Israel fed on the manna in the wilderness. It sees in Christ a special fitness to supply all its needs and requirements. It leans on Him, hangs on Him, builds on Him, cleaves to Him, as its physician, guardian, husband, and friend.

Romans 10

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -nkjv

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -kjv
