A Survey of the Old testament Law--Replicas of the Tabernacle and the Priestly Garments

Found some more videos that may be helpful in putting together a picture of what the tabernacle may have looked like, and what was involved in the services entailed there. The last videos are from a gentleman who teaches the Old Testament and how the many symbols/shadows/types pointed to Christ.

From Terry Harman:

A Survey of the Old testament Law--The Tabernacle, the Priestly Garments

The next couple weeks will be a little different. Because of the many details concerning the construction of the tabernacle and the making of the priestly garments, I think they would be better dealt with in video form so you can see what these things (probably) looked like. Granted, there is no way of knowing just exactly what they looked like, I think the videos I have found will give us a pretty good idea of what was involved. So here is a three-part video series providing a helpful computer animation for study purposes.

Part 1: Exodus 25:1-40; Exodus 26:15-30; Exodus 27:1-8



Part 2: Exodus 27:9-Exodus 28:41




Part 3: Exodus 30:1-10; Exodus 30:17-33




Here is how the various parts of the tabernacle were a shadow of Christ:

Renee Fleming--"O Holy Night"

I got nothin' to add. I'll just let the woman's voice speak for itself.

(PS--Do you know how hard it is to find a version of this where they don't chop out the parts that talk about "His gospel", or "His law" and especially "Christ is the Lord"?)




O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Sheri Easter--"What Child Is This?"

What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Matt Chandler--"Jesus Wants That Rose!!"

Jonathan Edwards taught "Salvation by Works"

Yes, it's true. All those people in the "easy-believer®" crowd were right. Jonathan Edwards was a "Closet Catholic®" who taught "Salvation by Works." Here's the evidence, from one of his own writings!

Must a person confess Christ as Lord?

Well, yes. I have put together a couple videos, based on Romans 10:9-10, to show that if one desires to be saved, then confessing Christ as Lord is a necessary requirement.

Romans 10:8-10--8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

PART 2:

What is wrong with the prosperity “gospel”.

If you notice, at the end of the title there is a period–not a question mark. It is not great secret that the prosperity “gospel” is heresy. But, how do we explain just how many levels of heresy are involved in the TBN crowd’s twisting and perverting of God’s word for their own financial gain? Well, I made these videos for just that purpose. To tear the prosperity “gospel” apart, and show, piece by piece, why this is such a perversion and blasphemy. I apologize for the little places where the audio is kinda choppy. I guess I should have “sown” into a video production ministry, eh?

The Friday Stoopid--Verizon Math Fail

If you had math teachers in school who taught you how to add, subtract, multiply and divide--THANK THEM!! because, apparently, they never taught math in VerizonLand.

Classic Fail!!

Ryan Wyatt: Scam artist extraordinaire

There is a pox here in Knoxville. His name is Ryan Wyatt. He's part of the whole Rick Joyner-Patricia King-Todd Bentley-Kansas City Prophets strain of heretics that go around spouting the "prophetic" and "new revelations" and, of course, "Signs and Wonders."

Oh, and if you can, they're a little short on cash to build their new "home":

We are one of the ministries forerunning this message right now. We encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit how you can partner with us, taking a stand alongside us, to see this message penetrate into the very core of the Church worldwide. We are standing on the edge of one of the major pivotal points in the history of this ministry, one which will open the door of opportunity into the next level of impact in our region, nation, and around the world.

That opportunity centers around the launch of the Abiding Glory International Ministry Base in Knoxville, TN. We thank every one of you that have contributed to this vision already. However, we still need to bring in $110,000 by the end of August. We appeal to you all to seek God and see if there is anything you can do to help launch this strategic ministry base which will impact thousands upon thousands in so many different ways.

OK, so let me get this straight. Ryan Wyatt claims that God is performing all these miraculous signs--but He can't come up with the funds to help finish their building.

Or, if you want, then Ryan is more than willing to take you down the road that brought Bob Jones world-wide fame--being "naked before the Lord". Read what Ryan Wyatt says at his website:

God is again looking throughout the earth for those who have not covered themselves with the things of the world but for those who are willing to submit to His stripping and pruning work and be clothed again from glory to glory! Are you naked before the Lord? Do you need to be awakened and come to a realization that you are nowhere near laying hold of your high calling? Are you truly poor in spirit and desperate for a touch from heaven?

Bezel333 on the Truth of the Gospels as historical documents

Our friend over at YouTube defends the authenticity of the Gospels we have today (and not the heretical Gnostic "gospels").

Weak preachers are God's Judgment

Sometimes I forget things. Like the fact that when a snake in the pulpit rises to fame and prominence, the people who follow that man (or woman) are not "victims." They are merely reaping what they have been seeking. They do not want the truth, they want the Mercedes. And so, God says, "Fine--you won't get either one!" And He sends a Joel Osteen or a Paula White or a Benny Hinn or some other serpent to fill a pulpit and give those people over to the one they are really serving.

Here, Paul Washer, speaking truth, shows us why people like Creflo and Kenny and Jesse and Junie-B are truly God's Judgment upon a lost and wicked people.

Bezel333: "21st Century signs and wonders"

Once again, Bezel uncovers the truth using a little thing called "Scripture" to debunk the claims made by the Satanic signs and lying wonders crowd who take God out of the box and make Him dance like He's their own little puppet.

Newsboys Remixed--"Not Ashamed"

I am not ahsamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe, the Jew first and also the Gentile--Romans 1:16

Here's a little video I made to accompany the Newsboys song "Not Ashamed."

In this day and age, when we have folks like Rob Bell, Tony Campolo, Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, and so many others preaching a mushy-squishy version of what THEY call the "gospel"--which is NOT any gospel, it is simply the imaginations of men who want to appeal to people so they might feel better about themselves, and not see God for who He really is--I thank God that there are men like John MacArthur, RC Sproul, John Piper, Al Mohler, Steve Lawson, and others who will not shy away from the truth. This video is dedicated to men like these.

The Friday Funnies: Animaniacs--the Presidents

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot take us through the first 42 Presidents.

Friday Funnies--"Wakko's America"

A classic from the Animaniacs! If your kids need to memorize their state capitols, here is a fun way for them to do it (And they may not even think of it as work!)

How old are your tires?

My aunt forwarded me this video of an ABC News investigation where they explained how, even though those nice, shiny tires at your local tire dealer may look purty, they may actually be dangerous. The video tells you much more than I can here, so I would encourage you to watch it. See, on the side of every tire (normally the side they put toward the inside), there is a long set of numbers, that looks like this:



The last set of numbers tells when the tire was made:



This tire was made in week 41 of 1994 (If it had been made in 2004, it would say "4104").

So next time you go in for tires, make the salesman (or mechanic, or whoever), show you that little code. They may act like you're overreacting. Big deal. Which is more important: keeping your family safe, or hurting the guy's feelings?

Shaun Groves--"Welcome Home"

One of my favorite songs from around the time I got saved. It reminded me a lot of the man I had given up being. (Actually, it still reminds me of the man I used to be).



Take me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking

Welcome to this heart of mine
I've buried under prideful vines
Grown to hide the mess I've made
Inside of me, come decorate, Lord
Open up the creaking door
And walk upon the dusty floor
Scrape away the guilty stains
Until no sin or shame remain
Spread Your love upon the walls
And occupy the empty halls
Until the man I am has faded
No more doors are barricaded

Chorus:
Come inside this
Heart of mine it's
Not my own
Make it home
Come and take this
Heart and make it
All your own
Welcome home

Take a seat, pull up a chair
Forgive me for the disrepair
And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling
Gathered on my search for meaning
Every closet's filled with clutter
Messes yet to be discovered
I'm overwhelmed, I understand
I can't make this place all that You can

I took the space that You placed in me
Redecorated in shades of greed
And I made sure every door stayed locked
Every window blocked, and still you knocked

Come inside this
Heart of mine it's
Not my own
Come and take this
Heart and make it
All your own
Welcome home
Welcome home

Come inside this
Heart of mine it's
Not my own
Make it home
Make it home
Come and take this
Heart and make it
All your own
Welcome Welcome Welcome
Home

Take me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking

Bezel333 PWNS "Pastor" Paula

The ever-vigilant Bezel333 has posted a video on YouTube where he single-handedly slices, dices, and juliennes the heretical screechings of "Pastor" Paula White while she tells us to beat up our neighbor and confess that our "Palm Sunday Praise is about to pay offff-fuh!!"

Now, it may be quite uncomfortable to sit through "Pastor" Paula's ridiculous charade, but the clear teaching that Bezel shares will make up for it. The video is about 10:00 long.

Friday Stupid--"CSI"

I ain't gonna give nothing away this time.
