This is not some souls factory.
This is long quiet days with the Father.
This is obedience.
This is cold early mornings, tired rough hands, and hot summer days.
This is quality before quantity.

I am Joshua Watts.
I love what I do and that I'm able to use my skills to serve our Father and you.
I look forward to working with you.
This is Joshua Watts-Levitt.
If this is true, then our country is in a lot of trouble.
We have these trips.
These special trips.
But he said, my daddy takes the bodies to the grocery store and he grinds them up and puts it in the hamburger.
And nobody ever knows it.
How can kids 6, 8, 10 years old be describing rituals that come from a book like the Book of the Dead?
It's hard to get your mind around people being capable of this kind of evil.

TruthRadioShow.com And welcome everybody to the Dan Bedani
Show right here on TruthRadioShow.com We've got an awesome show for you today.
We've got our guest, Nolan Kidwell from Cascadia Cutlery.
And the title of tonight's broadcast is Before and After, Set in Stone the Ten Commandments.
And what this means is we want to prove that the Ten Commandments were not, you know, just given to Moses.
They didn't just come out of nowhere and say, here's, you know, these laws.
Many of the laws, that's what I'm going with, okay?
The Ten Commandments were established, yes, with Moses on Mount Sinai, but the laws themselves, were they there before Mount Sinai?
So we're going to prove, using scripture, that yes, they were.
So I want to welcome our guests here.
Let me get your audio, brother.
Can you hear me okay, Dan?
Yep, there you go.
So this is Nolan Kidwell from CascadiaCutlery.com.
What's up, brother?
I'm doing good.
You know, this came from...
We started talking because somebody my wife knows had mentioned that, you know, oh, well, there weren't laws in place until Moses.
And, you know, it's as simple as you can't see the wind, but you can see the...
The effects of the wind.
You can see what the wind causes.
And I believe the laws are pretty self-evidently there.
See, I'm watching out of time on here.
I'm going to go.
There we go.
Yeah, you've got a 30-second delay.
Anyway, the laws are written on our hearts, and I believe that's been there since the beginning of time.
How would you follow the rules if you didn't know there were rules?
Our patriarchs that we see prior to Exodus 20 were already doing the law, and it hasn't gone away either.
You've done a bunch of great shows on the Ten Commandments.
This is looking at it in a different way.
Yeah, definitely, because it shows a different perspective, because we talk about then and now, we did a lot of shows on that, how, yes, the Ten Commandments are still, obviously, law, and people deny it.
I'm like, alright, is it okay to commit adultery and all that stuff?
No, it's not.
Well, there you go.
So, that solves that debate, but now the question is, The Ten Commandments, yes, they were set in stone, given to Moses and all that, but the laws themselves, like don't commit adultery, don't have other gods, idolatry and everything else, these were, this is in scripture, that yes, these individual laws were already there, you know, natural laws, like you said, with the wind, I mean, it blows, you know, you can't smell it sometimes, you can't see it, you don't know where it's coming from, but it's there, you know what I mean?
So, same thing with these laws, and you'll see, especially idolatry, man, oh man, We got a bunch of information on that, but, you know, just the Ten Commandments in general, and you laid it out, because of what happens, me and Nolan, like, let's get some scripture together, right?
He already had a jumpstart on me, so I was doing a scripture, and everything I come up with, he already had.
I'm like, oh man, what do I do now, you know?
So I looked into the book of Joshua, and I'm like, wow, alright, here we go.
So we found a lot of information in the book of Joshua.
I don't know if we're going to get it all out tonight, but there's a A ton load of information in Joshua just on the first and second commandment alone.
It's don't have other gods before me and idol tree.
You know what I mean?
And that was huge over there.
I mean, especially the days of Nimrod and everything else.
It is insane.
So, yeah, I hope you don't get in trouble by your wife.
Dan, you know, I'd like to point out before we get to this also, neither of us are teachers.
Neither of us are preachers, so to speak.
And We are just average, normal guys.
I know you didn't go to some sort of seminary school.
I did not go to some sort of seminary school.
And the real truth of this is the Holy Spirit gives us the ability to read the word, find what we're looking for on our own without any – you'll see a lot of people, they'll do studies where it's nothing but a big old concordance.
They type in the word blessing and then they just go through all the verses that show blessing.
And that's fine if you're using that as a reference to get started, but you really need to do your own study.
You need to read your own Bible.
And the answer is going to become more and more important as we get into the end days is to have that law written on your heart.
Absolutely.
Yeah, that's what it's about.
We go through this a lot all the time because people say, oh, you're not a certified teacher.
And I ask them, what's certified?
Oh, you're going to go to a Bible school, academy, and all learn theology.
I'm like, really?
It's like, that's kind of funny because...
You know, I read through scripture, and none of these people did that.
You know what I mean?
But today's standards, we've got to go through these hoops, and they don't even teach the entire Bible in these academies and colleges, so I've got to go through those hoops to be able to call myself a teacher of God.
You know what I mean?
None of these people in scripture went through those things.
They were just normal men like me and you that God used as a voice.
You know what I mean?
And like you said, the Holy Spirit's got to be written upon your heart, and there's not one university or church on this planet that could do such things.
A degree doesn't wait upon your heart.
The Holy Spirit does.
And again, in the way I tell people before, man, just because you have a degree, it's all good and all that, all good and dandy, but that holds no water to God at all.
Versus somebody out there in the street, homeless, preaching the Word of God.
You know what I mean?
You think you have more clout in the Kingdom of God than that person that doesn't have an education?
No, you don't.
You know what I mean?
Plain and simple.
To the world you might, but not to God.
You know what I mean?
And I'm not trying to diminish people's Effort to go get a degree and all that stuff, but don't think you're more in the kingdom of God when you're not.
You know what I mean?
We're all equal, plain and simple.
So that being established here, we get the Ten Commandments again, and it's unreal how far you can go with the Ten Commandments because the entire scripture from Genesis to Revelation, the books Joshua, the book of Enoch, and all that, it's all about two things.
Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandments.
It's more than just the Ten Commandments.
The Commandments, you know, we like to think of them as a list of ten.
But if you go and look at them even, they aren't just a list of ten.
It doesn't one through ten.
In fact, I pointed out with you when we first started our study that the Ten Commandments that's in front of Congress, you'll see there's a little statue out there.
It looks like a book.
It's got the Ten Commandments on that.
That was actually a publicity stunt bought by Cecil B. DeMille, donated, and Congress said, yeah, we'll take a free statue.
Yeah, go ahead and put it out there.
That sounds good.
It's not because of some sort of biblical, our country is built on God sort of thing.
It was literally a publicity stunt for the movie The Ten Commandments.
So when we look at this, you've got to look at more than just The Ten Commandments because, I mean, you get into Deuteronomy and you get into something as simple as the food laws.
There's a lot of people who tell you the food laws are gone, but when it says forever and ever through all your generations, I don't really see that going away.
I wear my tzitzis.
There are days I, you know, grab a pair of pants that don't have a set on them, but, you know, they remind me that God's law is written on my heart.
And, by the way, yes, I agree with you.
You know, we are a bunch of people that are following the son of man who was basically a homeless dude hanging out with a bunch of his fishing buddies.
So, we really can't...
We really can't sit there and put anyone up on a high horse because they've studied under someone or on something.
Read your Bible.
Study yourself.
Learn.
Absolutely.
And that's exactly how it is, you know?
And so, like, every day we have to remind ourselves of the laws and, you know, just like faith in Jesus Christ and everything else.
And it's a daily thing, really, is.
And repentance and all that good stuff.
And so it's a struggle for...
You know, nobody said being a Christian is going to be easy.
In fact, the Bible said it's going to be hard, you know what I mean?
Until we get into the kingdom, you know?
So, yeah, these things are very important, you know what I mean?
And these things get overlooked in the mainstream churches out there, especially with the commandments now.
It's crazy, man.
They barely even touch them anymore.
Even in fact, they tell people they're no longer law, which we covered that a million times already.
But...
This is very important to know the history and all the stuff of how do they build up to...
And what I... My opinion is, and it's scriptural too, that when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, he was just reiterating the main laws that were already there.
Now, each commandment, like you pointed out, right?
Each commandment and so on, you know what I mean?
So they're all embedded within these Ten Standard Commandments.
Then Jesus had his two commandments, which was still honoring the ten, you know, the Father's commandments, but his two commandments, too, the great commandments.
And so that's, you know.
This is probably really about one of our few New Testament verses on our study tonight.
Do me a favor and read out Matthew 22, 37 through 40.
You've got better access Okay, let me grab that here, guys.
Because really, all of the other commandments, the first several commandments, the first four commandments, really basically all have to do with...
Would you say Matthew 22?
37 through 40. 22, 37 through 40. The first four commandments really all have to do with loving God, and the rest all have to do with loving your neighbor.
But let's get the actual verse going here.
You can also see Matthew 5.44 reiterates this.
Okay, give me a second here.
Oh yeah, here we go.
So Matthew 22, 37-40 says, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord God with all my heart and all my soul and thy mind.
And the first great commandment, and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy number as thyself.
And on these two commandments hang, It brings back your focus.
I mean, if you're ever like, is this right?
You got that moment of, is this right?
If you ask yourself, does this fall into one of those two categories?
Am I honoring God?
Am I loving my neighbor?
And it goes further to love your enemy as yourself, you know, and looking at that and you're like, how am I treating?
Now, there are times to step up, protect innocence.
Somebody in that situation is, you know, they may both be your neighbor, but somebody's Threatening and innocent, you know, it's your spot to step in and defend that person.
And so, you know, that's something that, you know, sometimes they're going to be at odds with each other.
You can't love both people at that moment, perhaps.
But, well, you can lovingly make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
And that's what we need to establish this and keep it in the hearts written upon your hearts.
So now you come up with a lot of awesome scripture and all that.
So do you want to get into your slides here?
I'll tell you what.
I'll hit Old Testament real quick.
And then you have a lot of stuff.
You went into some Apocrypha, and I'm glad you did because it was kind of...
I couldn't hit it all myself, and neither could you hit all of it, so we kind of split it up.
I'm going to give some verses that are pre...
These are all pre-Exodus 20, essentially.
But the one thing that I really came to find out of all this, in a lot of ways, is that this came down to covenant.
You're like, well, there was no law.
Well, what was the law?
The law was a covenant that was signed between The children of Israel at that time and God.
They finally, they're like, we can't even be in the presence of him.
Moses, go up to the mountain and do this for us.
But they had already received the law even before he went up there with the golden calf.
So it came down to covenant.
So I've got a quick description here of covenant.
It says, if mercy or grace is forgiveness for transgression of the law, a covenant would be an agreement to keep the law.
It would be just that, a quid pro quo, this for that, outline of rules and consequences, curses, and rewards, blessings for freedom or freedoms.
Now, are you on your slide right now or – I actually went to the second page of notes.
I gave...
Dan, my notes, they're all handwritten.
I think he's putting some of them up.
I think I've added stuff since I gave it to him.
So that's something really to look at is that the law itself is covenant.
If you are keeping God's commandments, you are obeying his commandments, then you're going to be in that covenant with him.
That's where the Holy Spirit is going to come and touch you.
I have at the top of, like, I think my first page, real tiny, it says, following God's laws is not works.
And it's the other thing that constantly gets brought up.
As soon as you bring up God's laws, the dispensationalists especially, they like to tell you, well, not by works, not by works, like a little parrot, not by works!
And, you know, it had nothing to do with works.
How would God's laws be works?
Works are something you do Because you love God, you get into James 2. If you're really not sure what I'm talking about, go look at James 2. James 2 was my start on a path.
It's maybe the only time I've ever heard the small, still voice is simply told to go read James 2. It was what began to correct me.
And, you know, what I would say is, in terms of, you know, what What this is all going to bring it back to is every one of these things is a covenant.
So we can look at the stuff I have on page one.
We can look at what you brought in on idolatry, on a jealous God, but you're not going to benefit from it if you're just following the law because it's in the letter.
It needs to be in your heart.
Hmm.
Well, that's an important part, you know what I mean?
And, you know, like the Bible says, the law applies for those who do wrong, you know what I mean?
And it applies to us, too, yeah, but, I mean, if you're doing right, you don't have to worry about the laws because you're not breaking the law, you know what I mean?
But it applies mainly for the people who are breaking the laws, you know, so...
Sounds a little confusing, but there's a lot of meaning behind that.
But anyway, my notes, what I did is I covered the first and second commandment, which is like rolled into one in this book of Joshua.
So I can cover that real quick, but since we're going to jump into the first and second.
So let me cover Joshua quick.
I'm going to read the summarization, then later on we can get into the verses, whatever.
But if you go to chapter 11 in the book of Joshua, now I understand people like, oh, the book of Joshua is not the Bible.
Some people say that.
Some people say it's missing from the Bible.
Whatever the case, we know the book of Joshua, at least, is a great historical account.
You know what I mean?
So, and this is a historical account that fills in, like, the gaps, whatever the case.
When the Bible votes it, You've got to figure it's contemporary, right Dan?
Yeah, exactly.
And so it is good historical content.
So I'm going to do this here.
Let me pull this up here so people can read along.
So this is my notes from the book of Joshua.
Because we start off at chapter 11, right?
And actually before that too.
But this is summarizing basically between idolatry and false gods.
And this was the time of Nimrod, which he was the ruler of Babylon.
So...
It says Nimrod's wicked reign, idol tree of terror, Abraham's father.
When 50 years old, Abraham returns to his father's house and discovers his idols and makes a pretext to destroy them.
And after a savory meat for the gods, that's when they sacrifice an ammo and a savory meat for God, but they say gods.
So here we are, idols and gods.
So this right here is directly into the first and the second commandment.
Little g, right, Dan?
Yep, little g, yep.
And I got it right there, little g, gods, okay?
So that's not God, you know, the real God.
So anyway, Abraham takes a hatchet and destroys them, leaving.
And this, by the way, the hatchet was from CascadiaCultory.com.
I'm joking.
So Abraham takes a hatchet and destroys them, leaving the hatchet in the hands of the larger one.
And where it was discovered by his father, who is told by Abraham that the great God has risen up in anger to destroy his fellows.
And Terah, in his wrath, betrays Abraham to the king, who brings him before the throne of judgment.
And Abraham warns his father and the king before all the princes and evils of idolatry.
Abraham confronts Nimrod when Abraham was 50 years old and left Noah's house and returned to his father's house.
And Terah was still steeped in the idol tree and still captain of the host of Nimrod.
And it shows the verses here, Joshua 11, 13 and 15. Abraham demonstrated his father...
About strange gods, little G's, incensed, and Terah reported that incident to Nimrod, who sent soldiers to seize Abraham, and Nimrod, all his princes, and Terah was present, and Abraham witnessed before them, urging the king to repent of his follies and wickedness.
And his idol trees, so right here we're seeing like the first and second commandment right here, which they wouldn't establish yet, but idol tree and other gods, see what I mean?
So, and to serve the god with the big G, you know, god of creation...
Of the whole universe who created thee and whose power it is to kill and keep alive.
And it shows Joshua 11, 54, 55. And he ended his testimony saying, O foolish, simple, and ignorant king, woe to unto thee forever.
Nimrod was so indignant and full of wrath that he ordered Abraham to be put in prison and he asked his counsels, What ought to be done with him?
And the counsels that Abraham should be thrown alive into the flaming furnace and be burned to death.
And for three days and three nights, not going off the subject here, but in the scripture you see a lot of things with three days and three nights.
With Jonas in the whale, Jesus in the grave, three days and three nights.
Now you're seeing that they're throwing Abraham in the burning furnace for three days and three nights.
We've got to do another study on that.
It's kind of interesting why three days and three nights.
But anyway, and a mighty fire was prepared in the king's furnace.
And all the inhabitants of the land stood to see Abraham being brought out to be burned.
And Joshua estimates the crowd about 900,000 people.
And Joshua relates, and the Lord loved Abraham and had compassion over him.
And the Lord came down and delivered Abraham from the fire and was not burned.
And I've got a little more here.
But all...
the cords which they abound and will burn and while Abraham remained in walking about in the fire and Abraham walked in the midst of three days and three nights and all the servants of the kings saw him walking in the fire and they came and told the king and when the king heard their words his heart fainted and he would not believe them and then the king rose What's
going on here?
Let me summarize this guy.
What's going on here?
Because, you know, his father was in the kingdom there.
They were serving idols and gods, okay?
And Abraham was like, you know, God told him to destroy these things and send a message.
He did that.
So the king, Nimrod, says, you know what?
He was very angry about that.
And he goes, you know, your God ain't God, basically.
So he throws him in the hot furnace for three days and three nights and 72 hours.
And Abraham's just walking about.
Didn't even harm him.
And it stunned everybody in the kingdom.
Like, whoa.
And it showed that our God, the God of the universe, is more powerful than their so-called gods.
And this is idolatry, which is just seen here, is idolatry and serving other gods.
Now the first commandment says, thou shalt have no other God before me, for I am a jealous God.
Love God with your heart and soul.
And number two is don't Worship other idols.
Don't bow to them.
Don't make any graven images of them.
So we're seeing the first two commandments right here.
That would be the first two commandments.
But we're seeing them right here in the days of Babylon.
Very interesting stuff, man.
There's other verses too that go along with this.
I mean, the book of...
Joshua is full of idolatry, full of, not by Joshua, you know, pointing this stuff out, that these kings and false people, serving false gods, I'm sorry, this was going on during those days, and before that, too.
So, you want to throw anything in there?
There's a couple really cool things that happen here with this as well, is because before all of this, Abraham actually goes and, he's Abram at this point, he goes and He's trying to figure this out himself on his own.
And he goes and he's like, well, what if we worship the moon?
It's like the biggest thing in the sky that I see.
And he realizes it has no power.
And it's at this point that he then starts looking and realizes, well, my father's idols have no power.
And, you know, why worship something that has no power?
It's the same question I hear asked, you know, why go follow a church if they're not teaching the word of God?
And it's the same thing over and over again.
But the other thing I will say, you'll see a theme, and it's something that is overlooked so often because we're so serious, but there's something really funny happens here, is he goes, he takes and smashes up all these idols, and he leaves the big one, he puts the hatchet in the big idol's hands, and blames it on the big idol.
Well, the big idol did it!
I mean that is a sense of humor and you see this with – you talk about David, a man after God's heart.
You talk about Abraham and various patriarchs that we see as people that are lifted up by God.
A lot of them have a real sense of humor and I gotta figure this is something that appeals to God just as much as somebody that can laugh with him because he does tend to pick people that have a little bit of a sense of humor and I think that's great.
Yeah, and you mentioned the moon.
I have that verse somewhere in there.
I mean, it's like three pages long.
So, about saying, yeah, let's worship the moon.
But the thing is, these things have no power.
And he was trying to point this out.
And these things are God's creation.
They have no power.
You know what I mean?
And then you get to the idols and all that stuff.
So, he was just pointing out simply, listen...
There's only one god, you know what I mean?
Bottom line, you know what I mean?
And it's kind of funny how he did put Hatchet in the hands of the big idol to try to blame that.
Oh, your idol did it, you know?
He was probably nervous as hell, though, thinking about that, you know what I mean?
Because he's in a kingdom, that pure idol tree, serving how many gods?
Probably thousands.
And now he's over there destroying the idols, and now he knows he's in trouble.
He's like, uh-oh, you know?
So he's probably like, oh...
Your idol did it.
I don't know if he's being mockery out of it or nervous about it, but it is kind of funny.
He left Noah's home.
He was living not in his father's home.
He was living with, I think, grandfather is Noah.
He's living in his grandfather's home, Noah.
Now, you sit there going, where did he learn all of this?
Noah is really kind of, after the flood, the first priest.
He's the first person to build an altar.
He's the first person to sacrifice to God.
And I'll just grab one of the other references I made here on my end was that Noah knew food laws.
And this is really pretty easy to look at and evident because he knew which animals were clean and unclean to bring onto the ark.
Oh, I had it in the notes here.
Hold on.
Oh, here we go.
Genesis 6.18.
I mean, is that on your notes?
What page?
Yeah, it's on the second page in the covenants.
Oh, okay.
I can barely see it on the screen.
He's found righteous and perfect.
Genesis 6.8.9 and Genesis 7.1.
And you go look up perfection in Strong's.
And it says complete of Christian character, complete in all its parts.
And I think this was both genetically and morally.
He was connected to God.
And you go, okay, Abraham's now living in his house.
I don't know about you, but one of the biggest influences for me, at least planting the seeds of me understanding God as a child, were my grandparents.
They were very important in this.
Oh yeah, and these things too, it's like when you're a kid, you start to develop, nobody, and here's the thing too, nobody really tells you, I mean they tell you, yes, what's right and wrong, but nobody even tells you at first, I mean, you start to realize, man, if I try to kill somebody, you know what's wrong.
I mean, nothing's telling you, but there's something in you, that's the Holy Spirit, that's our God intellect that, not us as God, but God in us.
Our intellect telling us morals, moral compass and all that, which is the Holy Spirit telling us, hey, listen, there's something wrong doing that.
And if you go just punch your friend in the face for no reason, you know there's something wrong with that.
You're not going to do it.
Things like that.
So that's where that comes in.
I'm sorry?
Watch a kid the first time that they get caught stealing something.
They sit there, they know there's something wrong there.
They don't have...
They did something they weren't supposed to be doing.
I remember, I think I was in first-grader kindergarten, and my teacher had cool paperclips.
I came home with the paperclips.
I stole her paperclips.
She had these cool paperclips.
My parents are like, where'd you get these weird paperclips?
And they realized something was wrong because I... Started acting funny.
Not because, I mean, I could have gotten the paperclips through any number of means, but they'd realized, to use John Hall's word, nefarious, something nefarious had occurred because I got weird and cagey.
It was written on my heart already that I wasn't supposed to take those paperclips.
Now, were those important?
Were they, no, you know, I was told to go bring them back and give them to the teacher, tell her what I had done.
She's like, I don't care.
You know, here, keep Keep the paperclips.
At this point, they're dirty to me.
I don't want the paperclips, right?
But they were cool, colorful.
Since then, companies have come out with all kinds of colors.
These were a rare commodity at the time that I'm old, at the time that these were out.
And so I thought these were cool.
I stole the paperclips.
I went and took them in a way I was not supposed to.
She would have given me paperclips if I'd asked for them.
Yeah, that's all we're taking.
Yeah, the Ten Commandments, too, I wanted to bring up, too, is when Moses was already on the mountain.
He's been there for a while up in the mountain, like a week or so.
People, I mean, I couldn't believe just reading Exodus, and I'm not bashing Jewish people, but how impatient these people were.
They gave him food.
They still complain, complain, complain, complain, complain.
And God gave him everything.
And at that point, I think Moses was like, what the hell?
What do I got to do with these people?
But he's on the mountain for a couple weeks.
Are you kidding me?
I've been gone 10 minutes.
Yeah, as soon as he gets up on the mountain, what do they do?
They build a golden calf to battle worship, you know what I mean?
So they're out there having, you know, not to sound disgusting, sexual orgies and these, which everything in the cult is sexual anyway.
These occult blood sexual rituals.
Well, Moses on the mountain, now mind you, they all know because they witnessed God's power.
This would baffle the hell on me.
They witness God's power going through the desert, the cloud to protect him from the sun and the fire and the night to keep him warm, all that good stuff, gave him everything.
Witness God's power.
Now Moses is on the mountain and all of a sudden this jerk decides, all right, we're going to build a golden calf.
And they all start worshipping, not all of them, but most of them did.
And start worshipping his golden calf.
And now there's idol tree right there and serving up.
That's the first and second commandment before...
And we're like, what, a week or so?
I don't know even how.
Days, literally, before they were established.
The first and second commandment right then there being violated.
And also adultery because now you're having fornication and these sexual rituals were raining the people.
You know what I mean?
So now you have multiple commandments being violated before the commandments were already putting on the stone, you know?
This is going to keep coming back to those first two great commandments we read off first because, I mean, you know, you start committing fornication.
You steal things.
You're creating little mini-idols even when you do these things.
You're putting something else ahead of God, and you're not loving your neighbor because you're doing something filthy to them.
And it's going to come back this direction every single time that we look at one of these, is even when we get past those first four commandments that are very specific about honoring God, you start getting into the other commandments.
And if I'm doing these other things, I have some sort of motive that, again...
It's not honoring God.
It's not loving God with all my heart or all my soul.
I'm putting something else above it.
Absolutely.
And you're right.
And it's amazing with Scripture because to know the future, you've got to know the past.
It's amazing how that works out, the whole Scripture.
So you have these modern day churches.
Oh, we're reading Matthew to Revelation and do it again.
It's like, well, what about Genesis?
You know, the Old Testament, the Torah and everything.
And, you know, they think it's irrelevant because it's history of the past.
But, you know, it's all connected.
Every bit of it.
You know what I mean?
And so that's why it's important.
And you'll see.
You'll see long before the commandments were established on the tablets, okay?
Now I'm not talking about the electronic tablets today.
We're talking about stones, okay?
Before they were written on stone, these things were being violated and people knew, right, you know, these were already written in people's hearts.
You know, the fourth commandment, for example, right?
Honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Now we see in Scripture, right from the get-go, in Genesis, day 7, what does God say?
He's sanctified.
Now people say, oh, every day is for Christ, whatever He had is, but not every day is sanctified by the Father, right?
Only the seventh day, the Sabbath.
You know what I mean?
So we've already seen the establishment of the Sabbath long before a Jew walked the face of the earth.
You know what I mean?
So people say the Sabbath is just a Jewish thing.
No, it's not.
You know what I mean?
It was established from creation.
Genesis 2, 2-4 there, Dan.
I mean, what you're talking about was actually emulated by God.
It's the first commandment that we see God emulate and show to us On his own to us is to rest on the seventh day.
So pull that up.
Read that off if you can, man.
Alright, I was going to read it on, instead of putting it on here.
So, I normally put the Scriptures up on the screen, guys.
So, I'm going to try to do that next time.
But, you all got Bibles.
We always challenge you, don't take our word for it, especially when it comes to Scripture.
We want you to open your Bibles up.
Even if you see it on screen, open your Bibles up so you see it for yourself.
And don't take our word for it, please.
But, if you go to Genesis 2, verses 2-4, and it says...
On the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made and rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.
Now, you don't see him sanctify in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth.
No.
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.
And because that end he had rested from all his work, God created and made.
And these are the generations of the heavens and the earth which they were created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and heavens.
So, we already established this.
This establishment, this is my day, not the Lord, you know, the Sabbath, you know, the day of the Father, you know what I mean?
His day of rest and worship.
So, right down in the air before, I mean, at the time it was just Adam and Eve on the planet now.
Right then and there, establish this is my sanctified day.
You know what I mean?
So, this is from creation.
We've established what would be later on called the fourth commandment.
Well, not the Catholic's third commandment.
There's a difference between the two.
If we've got time later, we'll go through that part.
The fourth commandment in Scripture says, honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Rest.
You know what I mean?
And that's exactly where that comes from back in Genesis.
So...
I'm going to backtrack to 10 Commandment number 3. We're taking these as they come because you're going to jump around in Scripture as things tie together.
But I'm going to backtrack, and I've got Exodus 3.14 here.
And I want to point out 10 Commandments, Exodus 20. I'm back on 3.14.
So the question is, was this a law that's given ahead of time?
I think this is something they already knew.
So 314 in Exodus, I am God, big G, and God said unto Moses, I am that I am.
This is all in caps for a reason.
I am that I am.
And he said, Thou shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you.
This is a big statement.
This is saying there's no one else.
This goes back to taking God's name in vain.
I do have that on screen now.
You're a New Englander.
Your people over there are really good at using some profanities.
But I will tell you, what really drives me nuts is how prevalent now I'm seeing just blatant blasphemy.
And I think more than just it being people will use God's name in vain...
I think we need to look at it more closely, is that if we're using the name of God, Yahweh, God, His Son Jesus Christ, we need to be calling upon it with purpose.
It has meaning, and I have actually begun to believe that this has become a soft form of witchcraft.
This is a disobedience, and you're essentially calling on God's name like He's a puppet when you call on His name in vain.
This is, you know, Revelations 1.18, he says, I'm the Alpha and the Omega.
Isaiah 46.10, he is declaring the end from the beginning.
This is a powerful God.
This is an all-powerful God.
You can't sit there and go, I'm just going to use his name like it's some sort of puppet, you know, on strings.
That's witchcraft, and that's something we need to really take seriously.
You know, If you're going to have an all-powerful God, and then he emulates Sabbath for us and tells us, you guys need to take a day of rest.
You've got to start taking these things really seriously.
These aren't things just to be set aside.
I jumped back to taking his name in vain.
I'm going to jump back forward to Sabbath because they really tie together.
And I've told this story a few times to other folks, and I might have told it on your show before.
But This Passover just recently was the end of kind of year one for my wife and I, realizing that we needed to follow God closely.
And we really, in a lot of ways, feel that that was the beginning of us truly following God in our adult lives.
And one of the big things with that was we began to follow Sabbath.
We began to follow his feast days.
And there are curses and blessings.
Go to Deuteronomy and see how important these are.
You go into the later prophets, Isaiah, the prophets that are rebuilding the temple, and it's really important that they are following Sabbath.
So don't take God's name in vain is more than just not using it like a dirty word.
You really need to look at how you talk to God.
Absolutely.
And I'm glad you pointed something out, man, when you mentioned this, right?
And taking the Lord's name in vain in the Sabbath day, right?
Now, I'm going to bring this up real quick on the screen.
I've got the Bible's Ten Commandments on the left, and on the right is the Catholic Ten Commandments.
Let me fix that real quick so you can see it.
And now...
What they did was, first of all, they moved the fourth commandment down to the third, and they changed it.
So, you know, the Bible says, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, right?
And they moved to three, and it says, remember to keep the Lord's day.
So, I think this is, number one, this is a blasphemy to God, and also...
Using his name in vain, because now you're declaring another day the Lord's Day, and that's like a blasphemy and smacking face of God.
So I think that alone, what they just did, is violating several commandments, at least two commandments in that one move that they did.
You know what I mean?
And, you know, that's pure blasphemy.
It's saying you're smarter than God.
He said the last day, but we're going to pick another day.
Yeah, makes no sense.
And now you're defining the Lord's law, number one, from Genesis and reiterated again on Mount Sinai.
You're defining that, and then you're saying it's the Lord's day, which at the time they, you know, maybe they still do today, whatever, but that was that pagan holiday, the Sunday, S-U-N, Sunday, the sun god Horus, you know what I mean?
So now you're blaspheming the Lord's name, you're serving other gods, okay, there's so many commandments now.
There's one...
Yeah, about three commandments right there that you're violating right there.
Just by doing that one move in general.
You know what I mean?
Changing God's times and everything else.
So, you're seeing here this church, the Catholic church, violating these things.
You know what I mean?
And that's crazy.
You, before you came around, I know that you have a background that you dabbled in some witchcraft.
And, you know, you talk about...
You start calling on these little G deities...
It's the same thing.
We're supposed to be calling on God and looking to Him for our needs.
He delights in giving us our needs.
And you start looking at how we use His name very casually.
It's not just something to be dropped that way.
He is not a little G. Not that you should be engaging in asking things for anything either.
Yeah.
Yeah, like rappers.
I'm a G you.
Nah, yeah, but yeah, I know what you're saying, man.
And that's true.
That's the truth right there.
And, you know, when I dabbled to the witchcraft and they were like always calling on people, different people in the watchtower, they call it, it's sickening stuff.
And you're always calling upon something.
You're invoking something other than the creator.
You're invoking something that you think is powerful, that you think is going to bring you power and magic and everything else.
And it's not the creator.
That alone is what?
Don't have other gods before you.
That is the first commitment.
You know what I mean?
And so, just by engaging in witchcraft, you automatically are violating the first commitment.
You know what I mean?
Automatically.
You know what I mean?
And it's crazy, man.
And then the occult, I mean, they get into several things, like adultery, number seven.
Man, serving other gods, idolatry.
I mean, you just rack up the violations.
Like a cop for the Ten Commandments.
Just racking up the violations.
You know, giving you a ticket for each one, so to speak, you know.
I'm going to jump back forward to my covenant page, if you don't mind, my page two on my notes.
Yep.
And I hit several patriarchs here.
I really looked at Noah just because I'm fascinated with Noah.
He's kind of the first prepper.
But, I mean, you also look at, you know, he is given Genesis 9-9.
If you can pull up 9-9 while I talk about it.
He's given both curses and And blessings right here.
You know, we look at Deuteronomy.
We're giving curses and blessings.
But these all come back to this covenant of there's a relationship struck with us and God, and there are rules to it.
He sets down his own guidelines as to how we are to perform in our relationship with him.
And so it hit Genesis 9-9 for me, because this talks about Noah and his generations after him.
Genesis 99, yep.
And behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you.
And if anybody knows what seed, that's your next generation.
That's your children.
All your generations after.
Yep.
And I'm going to hit...
Let's see, I got it here.
I've got my paper Bible with me, so I'm just slower than you.
Abraham, we look at Genesis 17 sticks, okay?
And I will make the...
The exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and the king shall come out of thee.
You know, what does that sound like?
It sounds like that covenant again.
And why?
Because he's walking with God.
You know, you get into the circumcision, which is a physical token of that that they did, but our hearts are to be circumcised as well.
And you can jump forward in New Testament.
That's not a hard...
Isaac, he's through Jacob.
He is given a new name.
He becomes Israel, Genesis 17, 21. His son is his inheritance.
And this is because he's walking with God.
And you start looking at all of these are covenant.
Covenant seems to be God's way of marking his own.
And why does he make this covenant with them?
The covenant is a set of rules that he is marking them with, that you are peculiar in following these rules.
Yeah, pretty amazing when you actually search these things.
Anybody want any tips about searching things?
Go to an online Bible thing and you can hit the keyword search and type in a word.
It'll come up everywhere in the scripture that that word exists.
You know what I mean?
And that's a good way to jump around.
Or if you want to just stick to a strict book, you know, one book, just PDF the file, you know, like just the book of Genesis, right?
And hit Command F, you know, to see, you know, command search to see, you know, type in whatever word you want, and you'll see it pop up, bang, bang, bang, and you can read it in its context.
And that's how I did the study with the book of Josh, man.
It took a couple hours to do that, but you start to see these things popping up.
But that's a hint for you people to do a Bible study.
We got the technology today, obviously with...
The good old scripture book, which you can't beat it.
You don't need batteries for this.
But you can't do that with that.
We've got to take advantage of the technology so we can do further studies quicker.
Anyway, so a good idea for that.
Who knows how much longer we're going to have that technology.
It's great to have it.
But we've got to know our Bibles regardless, Dan.
If we don't have that, we're going to be lost.
But The technology really does shave some time off the search.
You can sit there and if you know even a piece of the story, go, oh, this is what I'm looking for.
I need to go find this.
Really, when it comes down to it, we are the Israel of today.
We are that seed still.
These are ancient mechanisms that God put in place.
God is somebody...
Interacts with us personally.
But I will also say there is a cause and effect here of we follow his rules.
We repent when we break those rules.
And he hears us.
And there is a mechanism that he has put in place.
And that kind of actually brings me a little bit.
I looked at Job.
And some people will tell us that Job was not, you know, that he was after Job.
You know, the children of Israel, but it's actually the oldest written book in the Bible.
And I've given what we do know about Job, I believe personally that he was probably a contemporary at the same time frame as Abraham.
And Abraham is given the blessing through covenant of a long line and whatnot, but Job is given protection.
And this is something a lot of Christians right now are looking for.
There's this idea that we're going to Find some sort of protection through the tribulation, and that will only be through obedience if we find that at all.
The real truth is we're told that we're going to be persecuted.
And so I actually – the next thing I did on page three of my notes, I hopped forward to evidence of obedience.
And Job was a big one for me because he shows evidence of a bunch of these, and then his friends – Show that they know what the laws are, and that kind of blew me away.
He has terrible friends.
I think on my notes I actually describe them as, pardon me, quote-unquote crappy friends, and they really are.
But I'm not going to go – we've got a lot to cover.
I'm not going to go through every bit of Job.
Take a peek at Job 4, 6-7.
This is his friends again, Job 5-17, Job 8-3-4.
They're on the notes page if you want to look at them.
Dan said he'd attach those somewhere to the video.
I got up Job 4, chapter 4, 6. Yep.
They have a knowledge of righteousness and judgment for sins.
And you look at this as somebody who is likely contemporary to Possibly out of Ethiopia.
They say actually that Job's house is in Ethiopia.
How accurate that is, it's like a little stone house.
I've seen footage of it.
He was probably contemporary to Abraham, just was on a very different path.
And whether that's accurate or not, these are people that understood curses.
They understood that Job...
Taking God's name in vain and cursing him was damnable.
They knew this was wrong.
Job 1.1, he feared God.
He eschewed evil.
He was described as perfect.
How does he know evil from good with no rules?
It's simple.
It's there.
This was there from the beginning.
It's written on their hearts.
I will say...
I feel bad for him with his wife.
That was the one part that just killed me, was, you know, I have a great wife.
My wife Joy has put up with me for 26 years, and I have not been a peach most of that time.
And she's fantastic.
Job's wife, after he's down, things have been bad for him.
Job 2.9.
Job argues with his wife about cursing God.
He refuses to use the name of God in vain.
She tells him, go curse God and die.
And he's like, I'm not going to do it.
Well, yeah, I got it right there.
And then said his wife went to him, though thou still retain thine integrity, curse God and die.
Yep, and, uh, yeah, seeing all through scripture, and, uh, we're just like, again, simply pointing out that these were already laws before they were turned to what today is called the Ten Commandments before Mount Sinai, you know what I mean?
And yeah, it's a lot of information already.
It's almost an hour.
But yeah, we could probably be here for hours talking about these.
And we still haven't covered the, you know, adultery, you know, murder.
And yeah, look at me, people in the scripture, the old days, you get caught committing adultery, you got stoned.
You know what I mean?
And this is before Mount Sinai, you know.
And these things are already, I mean, even today, some of these things are still law in certain states too.
But you just see it all through the Old Testament prior to Mount Sinai that every one of them you could easily find through Genesis and whatnot.
And Joshua and Enoch and whatnot that these things were already forbidden before they were instituted as the Ten Commandments.
Do me a favor and pull up Genesis 39, 7 through 9, Dan.
Genesis 39, 7?
So we're looking at evidences pre-Exodus 20, right?
There aren't even children of Israel yet.
You've got Joseph and his brothers are as close as it comes to...
I'm sorry.
Genesis 39, 7 through 9. Okay, all set.
Okay.
Joseph is living in a pagan culture.
These people have God's law written on their heart, and he recognizes there's a sin here.
He doesn't covet or commit adultery with the – oh, I'm trying to remember his name.
I'll let you read it.
Sure.
And verse 7 says, And it came to pass, after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me, even though it's have sex with me.
But he refused, and said unto the master's wife, Behold, my master worth not that it is with me in thy house.
And he has committed that all he had in my hand.
And there is none greater in this house than I, neither has I kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art of the wife.
And how then can I do great wickedness and sin against God?
So right there, dang, right there.
How does he know that's sin?
He actually says this would be a sin against God.
How does he know?
A great wickedness at that, too.
A great wickedness and sin against God.
So, again, this is prior to even before Moses walked the face of the earth.
Yeah, no, he won't even look at this.
He's like, I can't look at this.
Put the clothes back on.
I can't look at this.
I don't want to even commit covet here, let alone adultery.
Yeah, amazing stuff really is.
Yeah, we're just seeing this everywhere, you know what I mean?
And it's really intriguing.
And this is what makes the Bible better than any other scripture, any other doctrine in the world, because none of it contradicts each other.
It all intertwines with each other.
I mean, it's so amazing, really, is this doctrine called the Bible, you know what I mean?
Which is the true word of God.
Yeah.
Good stuff, man.
It's, like, so intriguing.
So, yeah.
So we're way on to the Sixth Commandment, though.
Murder?
Well, I jumped forward a little in terms of...
I started looking at evidences, you know, before that of people keeping the law.
But go to my last page.
I got people that are breaking the law.
Breaking the law.
I've got folks that are breaking the law here.
And...
So I went to examples of that.
I mean, sometimes not everyone gets punished here on earth for their sins, but these are evidences of people doing wrong and wickedness.
And there's something to be noted is that a lot of times there's just a blanket description.
We get into like Sodom and Gomorrah, and it just says wickedness.
And we start looking at what is that?
And I think this is just the same perdition and lawlessness we're looking at today is a breaking of all the laws.
At least the two great commandments are not in their heart.
Absolutely.
And you have this scripture you give me here.
Genesis 4-7, right?
From Cain.
Yeah, I actually really loved...
I had not gone and looked at Cain and Abel in a long time and looked at it in this light, and I really feel like this led me down a path of a lot of different thoughts.
There was conjecture here that I put in here also that kind of blew my mind because it's a very short passage.
Do me a favor.
You can read through Cain and Abel pretty quick here.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
So, we'll start at verse 7. 4-7, yes.
4-7, yes.
So if those does well...
I'm sorry?
It might go a verse before that.
Okay.
So number six, And the Lord said to Cain, Where art thou wrath, and why is thy countenance fallen?
And if thou does well, thou shalt not be accepted.
And if thou does not well, sin lieth at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with his brother Abel, and it came to pass when they were in the field, and Cain rose up against Abel and slew him.
So right there we're seeing murder happening.
This isn't just like he accidentally killed him.
Yeah.
He talks to God first, right?
Yep.
And God doesn't curse him at this point.
He just says, this really wasn't the offering I was hoping to have from you.
Yeah, because it wasn't from his heart.
I mean, that's what I think.
I mean, it wasn't like, you know, when you give an offering, it's something that you're like, all right, let's take, I'm sorry.
You know what I mean?
And you show that sorrow through that offering, I think.
And I think it was just a cheap offering to get it out of the way.
And that's where, I think that's where the show that had its countenance fell.
You know, because it was just something that is just, here you go, you know, just to get rid of it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but then he goes and he talks to Abel about it.
Now, we don't have any account of this conversation.
Abel's not around to tell us.
Cain, I don't think, wanted to talk much about it after the fact.
But he goes and talks to Abel, and then later goes out and kills him over their conversation.
And you go, wait a minute, that's really some pretty premeditated stuff there.
That's just, I accidentally killed my brother.
You know, there's a reason that God curses him, that he is judged by And not found righteous in this is because, I mean, this is something that goes way beyond, way beyond God had a talk with him, and this isn't what we talked about here, Cain.
I'm sorry.
This is not what we talked about at all.
Yeah, that's a big, big difference from what they talked about.
And I guess his jealousy or rage took over him, whatever the case, and then he ended up killing his brother.
And there's a lot of stuff out of there, too, man.
It really is.
When you actually look at these verses, there's so much content in these short little verses.
There's so much, again, no other book and, you know...
A doctor in the world could do that.
There's so much context embedded in those short little words.
When you see this on a spiritual warfare level too, you see when it says his blood hit the earth and his seeds cried out from the ground, what does that mean?
Abel had generations to come was halted right there when he was killed.
Therefore Abel was not able to reproduce and his whole generations to come were stopped right then and there.
I mean, stuff like that.
It's really cool stuff.
I know it's a little off the subject.
There's a lot happening here.
It really starts to blow your mind.
You look at, you know, well, what was the potential there?
What would Abel's line have looked at, look like?
And one thing that I can, I have a conjecture and I have a note that I put with Abel that I thought was just, it really got me thinking, was one, are they already showing evidence of the Levitical laws that Which now we've been, you know, the liturgical laws have passed away with Jesus.
You know, the law itself in terms of God's ordinances, what he wants us to follow are still there, but in terms of the sacrifice, were we seeing evidence of the first royal priesthood here right after the garden?
They're asked to give an offering.
This is kind of a big deal.
And then they're God starts telling them how to do their offering.
He's like, oh, that's not what we want to do here, Cain.
And then the other thing I will – I'll go back to something I talked about earlier.
There's a lot of people looking for physical protection these days.
And I'll note that Abel, he followed what God had told him to do, and he still wasn't physically protected in this.
Yeah.
And, yeah, it's so amazing.
It really is.
It's baffling.
Especially growing up in the mainstream churches and all that, and you get taught this, that, and the other thing.
And when you actually read the scripture and study this stuff, I mean, just from the study alone...
I don't think churches teach us.
I mean, again, when we talk about this, about the commandments, they barely teach them, not alone this.
I mean, this is some good stuff, and I just showed you that these, when I say universal, I'm talking about God's, you know, the way God made them.
And you're seeing these, you know, universal, which God's laws and Holy Spirit in people's hearts long before Mount Sinai.
And we use Mount Sinai as the fulcrum point here.
They're basically before...
The tablets were written by the finger of God.
That these things were already established.
Anybody that just joined the show now, whatever.
So this will have proven here.
That every one of these, you know, now commandments were already law before they were instituted as the Ten Commandments to Moses.
So, and it's not just for Jews.
Because again, you know, right from creation, long before a Jew walked the face of the earth, these things were already set in place.
You know what I mean?
So, there you go.
And, uh...
It's so amazing.
It really is.
I want to talk a little bit about iniquities here also.
Iniquities are a sin that we carry with us because they are generational.
It's a sin that we are prone to do because it's been imprinted on us.
This is something that comes from our parents.
It's learned habit from those around us.
Things like this.
And it predisposes us to certain sins.
And it's a much bigger subject.
But I'll point out...
I got the verse this time.
I know I've been making you read a bunch of them, Dan.
So I grabbed Genesis 4.23.
And this is Cain's...
I want to make sure it's a great-grandson.
So we're literally like three generations down the road...
This is Lamech.
It says, Look at these terrible things I did.
And this is a sin.
His great-grandfather's a murderer, and now he's gone to a point that he's gone out and murdered someone, and he feels the wound of it.
He actually says that to his own hurt, he's done this.
And yet at the same time, he's almost reveling in this curse.
It's almost what we see with Rock stars today where they get heavily into some of the Satan worship and stuff like that, and they embrace that wickedness.
It's a whole different form of lawlessness, and this is something that he's clearly learned this behavior.
Yeah, intriguing though.
And you're seeing the stuff right in Genesis here that, you know, naturally they're just feeling like there's something wrong with this.
And God's like, hey, listen, that's a transgression against me.
You know what I mean?
So again, we're seeing the establishment of these particular ways and laws long before they're put on stones as the Ten Commandments.
And it's such amazing stuff really is.
And I'm glad we did this study, man, because this highlights them even more.
You know what I mean?
This shows the importance when God reiterated them as the Ten Commandments given to Moses.
It shows the even more importance why he did these.
I did a video on that too.
Why he made this.
Not to be a controlling jerk to people.
To say, I'm God and that's it.
And whatever.
No, he's not doing that.
Each and every one of these things for our own good.
It's like anybody that has children now knows what our fathers were talking about.
When your father yelled and screamed, I even smacked you for trying to run in the street without looking, right?
Then one day you learn or see a kid gets hit by a car, God forbid, gets hurt or killed, whatever.
Then you're like, oh my God, this whole time my father, my mother was a controlling jerk.
And now I finally realize this.
Now, we're children.
Yeah, I'm 46 years old, but I'm a child of God.
You know what I mean?
So I'm still learning.
We are.
So we can never say, well, we're the adults in this matter compared to God.
God's still the Father.
It doesn't matter if you're 80 years old.
He's still the Father.
He knows better than you.
You know what I mean?
So as a child, your child doesn't know better than you.
You know what I mean?
You raise that child up the best you can, and when it comes to an adult, then it turns to his generation.
You know what I mean?
His next generation.
So that's the set that God's making for us.
So, hey, listen, these are for our own good.
They're not to make me, like, I'm the boss and that's it.
No, it's not like that.
It's for your safety.
You know what I mean?
And there's reasons behind every single one of them.
And already in the book of Genesis, we're seeing that.
We're seeing that right here in the book of Genesis, long before Sinai.
You know, we're given two kinds of freedom, Dan.
We're given freedom through grace, through our salvation.
That's one kind of freedom.
But the laws themselves bring us a freedom of their own.
What you were just saying, a pastor friend of mine, when I was still going to 501c3, this was a long time ago, and I remember him telling me a story of his brother who, his brother had, he was gay, he had drug addictions, he was an alcoholic, and he was listening to satanic music.
There was, I mean, He was into actual, you know, witchcraft and things like this.
And I mean, he covered the spectrum of things that we're told don't do.
And they were sitting at dinner and I mean, he's, you know, the guy's clearly like hungover, coming out of whatever he was on previously.
He's got, you know, problems in his relationships.
And he's telling them that why would I follow all these rules?
I'm free.
I'm free.
And they're sitting there looking at him and they're going, you've got so many monkeys hanging on that back of yours.
There's no way you are free.
You're trailing chains that you can't even begin to see.
And it really kind of hit me that this was before I started to make leaps and bounds and understanding a lot of this.
But obedience in a lot of ways is freedom.
If you're not coveting, if you're not Sleeping around, causing problems and drama in your life, if you are not stealing things, there's a great freedom in just your stuff doesn't stink.
You don't have stinky fruit that you can't find through anything other than obedience.
Absolutely.
And if you will, I would like to go back real quick to the book of Joshua.
Yeah.
And here we go.
It's like on Joshua here.
Let me get to my notes here.
And if you go to Joshua 2, verse 3, and it was in the days of Enosh that the sons of men continued to rebel and transgress against God.
now this is already said in the transgression against God before these laws these are laws that are already set once again proven that this is before the Ten Commandments to increase the anger of the Lord against the sons of men and the sons of men went out and served other gods now right here this is talking about the first commandment serving other gods to have no other gods before me and they forgot the Lord who had created them in the earth and in those days the sons of men made images now we're going on to the second commandment idolatry
they made images of brass and iron wooden stone and they bowed down to them and served them and every man made his God and he bowed down to them and they you know God with the Lord and the sons of men forsook for the Lord all the days of Enosh and his children and the anger of the Lord was kindled on account of their works and abominations which did enter the earth And there's many other wrestlers too.
And we could be here all night.
I just, like, went crazy, man.
And you're just seeing constantly through the Book of Joshua.
Idol tree, you know, even using the Lord's name in vain, really.
I'm going to tie yours back to Genesis, because a lot of people, they won't accept the Apocrypha.
But you look at Enoch, and let's see, I've got Genesis 5, 21 through 24, and it says, and Enoch lived 65 years, And begat Methuselah.
Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah.
Up to then, he hadn't been doing it.
300 years and begat sons and daughters.
So he was 65, had a son, and then suddenly he went, I gotta clean up.
And all the days of Enoch were 365 years, and Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
Now, I gotta sit there going, he's looking around him, You just described in Jasher that there's mass idolatry, that every single person has their own God that they've created for themselves, and he starts walking with God.
How does he know the rules?
How does he walk with God?
It doesn't say he's physically, you know, we know that God walked with Adam in the garden, but no, he's walking with God.
There's only one way to do this, is through obedience again.
How does he know what the rules are if If he's got to wait until after the flood and a bunch of patriarchs and we get to Moses, oh, now we've got rules.
Enoch's got them right here.
He knows that the idolatry is wrong.
Absolutely.
And I want to point out to you, this is the good Enoch, by the way.
The bad Enoch's King's first son.
This is the seventh from Adam, which is on the side of Seth.
This is the good Enoch, which was Noah's great-grandfather.
I just want to point out that out real quick.
But yeah, Enoch, what an amazing book.
But yeah, Enoch knew the rights and wrongs.
He walked with God, literally, and was transgressed up into God.
You know what I mean?
It was amazing.
And transformed, I mean...
Into the spirit, whatever.
And rapture, whatever you want to call it.
But you've got to be somebody special.
Not that you're a god or nothing, but somebody that God really sees something in you.
Because it's him and Ezekiel, right?
The only two ones that were actually caught up.
Elijah.
Elijah, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
So yeah, I mean, these rules, again, we're seeing that these people knew these laws before they were established on stone.
You know what I mean?
Amazing stuff really is.
Well, I only had one other, and we backtracked.
I got into breaking the laws.
Grabbed my breaking the laws page here.
What was that, page three?
Page four.
Actually, no, I got two other things that I've got on mine.
And then, you know, this has been a great study.
I've enjoyed this because, you know, I know I didn't hit everything.
I know you didn't hit everything.
No.
There's a lot more.
You start looking at evidences of this, and some of them are very subtle, very small.
I have Genesis 12, 18 through 20, if you could grab it, Dan.
So, one second.
Let me do that up on the screen.
One second.
Anyway, this is Pharaoh, and this is Abraham's Pharaoh at this time.
Abraham traveled all over the place, And he had a habit of a lot of times, and I can understand where he was coming from because you sit there going, you know, you've got raiders that come in, and the first thing they do if they want the women of the time is they're going to kill the menfolk, right?
And so he had a habit of getting his wife to say that she was his sister rather than his wife.
You want to read that quick for you?
Yeah, read the verse real quick.
Sure.
And Pharaoh called up Abraham and said, What is that has done done to me?
Why did you not tell me that she was thy wife?
And why did you...
I'm sorry.
I had to read the old text.
By the way, basically Pharaoh was saying, Why did you lie to me, Abraham?
You told me that was...
Your sister, but you're saying it's your wife, and I'm summarizing here.
And while thus, though, she is my sister, so I might have taken her to be my wife.
Now, therefore, behold, thy wife, take her and go away.
Now, this is Pharaoh realize, wait a minute.
I just married a married woman.
This is adultery, right?
And Pharaoh commanded his men concern him and sent him away and a wife in that he had.
So, here we got Pharaoh...
Married a married woman, but he didn't know.
When he found out women, that's his...
Why is he worried about this, right?
It's because he knows the curse.
He realizes there's a curse here.
He is like, this is someone who has idols.
Most of the pharaohs believe they're God.
I don't know that far back as far as in Abraham's time...
But pretty much all evidence we have of the Egyptian culture is that these dudes thought they were gods.
And even he sits there going, there's somebody above me that will curse me if I'm sleeping with Abraham's wife.
Wow, it's so intense, man.
And you see it all over the scripture.
It's amazing.
Hang on a second, let me just grab something real quick.
Yeah, I was just loading your website up too so you could promote that.
But yeah, I mean, you're seeing, again, I don't know how many times I've said this.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but you're seeing these things happen.
And people knowing they're wrong before Mount Sinai.
And again, once again, Mount Sinai is referring to when Moses received the two tablets indicating the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God.
So you're seeing these things that are already established before they were reiterated as the Ten Commandments.
And again, the Ten Commandments, if you look at each one of them, each one of them has several things in each one.
You know what I mean?
It's like the Bill of Rights in our Constitution.
First Amendment.
It's not just free speech.
It's freedom of religion, freedom of press, and so on.
So it's the same exact format.
You know what I mean?
Many things into each commandment.
But you've seen these things before they were put in stone.
Really amazing stuff.
So this shows you right here, number one, okay?
The Ten Commandments are not just for the Jews.
And when he says Jews, it's his people.
It's not hereditary a Jew.
It's a person that believes in him in these days and age.
So...
No, go ahead.
No, you're exactly right.
This all ties together.
And I'm actually going to jump forward and grab a verse after Exodus 20, which is Psalms 48. 48. David says, I delight to do thy will, O my God, yea, thy law is within my heart.
And, you know, Jesus tells us, you know, the yoke is light.
It's not heavy.
Following God's laws is important in terms of just for our own good.
As you said, this is us being chastened so that we Don't do stupid things.
Yeah, exactly.
Amazing stuff really is.
So you want to throw anything else in there?
You know, I brought two knives.
You know me.
I'm always going to show off knives.
Yeah, definitely.
I brought them specifically because these are the two knives that are in Dan Bedoni's Truth Radio Show bundle on my page.
So if you go to my website, right at the top of the page, there's about four or five Various bundles there.
I think actually right before the show, the Midnight Ride bundle just sold out, and I just recently sold out of the Cutting Edge, and I'll be putting new ones up shortly for both of those, probably beginning of the next month.
But if you scroll down about, and I got a couple really cool survival packs I put together there as well, but this one for Dan is, if you want to click on there, Dan, and hop onto that first picture, I brought knives from out of there.
Knives are always the coolest part of it, but there's some really cool gear in there as well.
There's a flameless lighter.
It's an LED lighter that you can plug in and it recharges.
There's a great flashlight in there that actually floats.
If you drop it in the water, the back end of it, it knows to light up and floats in the water so that that back end where it's floating, you can find it in the water.
I got a fire starter and stuff like that in there.
And then I also got in these really great little...
They're hard plastic.
Not even laminated.
They're actually hard plastic.
Can't hurt them.
Cards that you can throw in your pack that have basic knowledge on them for fire starting and stuff like that.
And all of the proceeds from this bundle go towards supporting Truth Radio Show.
I don't take anything from this myself.
I pick up the shipping, the whole deal.
This pays for...
So that you guys can not only hear news from a Christian perspective, those that follow the way, and also so that you can see studies like this.
And so Dan takes a lot of time doing all of this stuff on his own.
Dan is the man.
He's a doer, and I appreciate that.
Anyway, these are the two knives.
I've got a lion steel knife.
This is actually one of the first knives I ever gave Dan It is one of these.
I love this knife.
Lion steel.
They're made in Italy.
They're all hand finished.
Got beautiful action on them.
So there's no spring action in this.
This has little ceramic bearings in the washer.
You hit it and it just rolls out.
It's actually a flipper.
Flips from the back right back here with your index finger.
And beautiful action on it.
You can just feel it's butter smooth with the little ceramic bearings in there.
And really a great everyday carry knife.
It's one that I really like.
And then I also brought a kitsune, which is the other one in there.
This is a kitsune V. There's several versions of it.
And this particular one is nice because it's a little bit tactical and it's a little bit bushcraft.
It's not a very big knife, but it's got a really nice shape and feel to it.
It's a little sheath knife.
And so you've got a fixed blade and a folder in that bundle.
And that little bundle is really the sort of thing that if you had an old backpack and you haven't begun prepping for what might be to come, if you watch...
Any Truth Radio news, you know there's horrific things possibly on the horizon.
Having good tools is going to be really important, and that bundle is the sort of thing you can throw in an old backpack, and you have some basic stuff that'll get you started, and you can put together other things together.
You know, an old hoodie in there, a rain poncho, stuff like that are really going to help out.
Oh, there's a cool bandana in there, too, that has so much stuff printed on it.
It's how to navigate with a compass and all kinds of stuff.
So there's a bunch of stuff there.
This is a kitsune.
These were designed by Jeremy Valentine.
I actually carry a lot of Jeremy's knives that he hand makes, but these are a work-tough knife.
They're made by Vic Lin.
He's actually out of Taiwan, and I know that there's some Questionable things going on with Taiwan.
He runs a little, very small, few-man shop there, and he makes really cool knives.
Most of the knives I carry are American-made, but both the ones I put in this one, I got an Italian knife in here, are actually made out of country, and these are both, again, some of the best knives on the market.
When it comes to tools, it's really more about quality, and you don't compromise that.
Absolutely, and I want to point out too, and if you go to his website, if you don't like this package, guys, he's got other packages that support other Brotherhood shows like the Midnight Ride, the Cutting Edge, which they just showed up.
But if you don't like any of that stuff, guys, go through the website.
They got tons of, these are all bench made, all hardcore steel, literally.
All kinds of survival gear, you know, AKA, we have to say paperweights, but brass knuckles there, Johnny Mayhem knuckles, and leather Bible covers sponsored by Joshua Watts there with the tactical pen.
Check these out.
These are custom.
These are my own.
These are in my pocket right now because I'm in Portland, and let's just say we've had some questionable things going on lately, and sometimes there's correction to be made.
It has to happen.
Those are all handmade by Johnny Mayhem knuckles, Out of recycled materials.
That's old bus bar.
He does some very cool stuff that way where he'll make a lot of recycled stuff.
But the real answer at the end of the day is this helps me keep the lights on.
You buy something from me, it helps me support Dan.
And I do this simply because I believe in what Dan is doing.
There's very little truth left out there.
Shake and Wake Radio.
I know Dan's show goes up on Shake and Wake Radio.
My wife listens to Shake and Wake a lot, and I love the fact that there's truth being told out there.
It's still findable.
It's getting very hard to find truth.
Even just to find news outside the narrative is hard.
To find anything that isn't just the two subjects, which I won't mention because that's what will get things in trouble.
There's only like two or three subjects that are even being put out there in the news right now, and there's the There's some very nefarious things going on.
So have good tools as we move forward.
And, you know, the patriarchs that we look at, you know, here, they were doing a couple things, right?
They were following God's laws.
They were obedient.
But they also weren't afraid to throw down Abraham.
his nephew Lot gets taken and kidnapped.
He doesn't sit there and go, "Well, he has my hopes and prayers." No, he raises an army out of his own pocket with his own men and goes and rescues his nephew Lot.
This is something that is done because he knows it is right and it's written in his heart.
And I want to show off my knife here too.
It's the one I carry every day that Nolan gave me.
It's called the Crooked River.
It's a buck knife, hunting knife, whatever you want to call it.
But awesome knife here.
And I got big hands, guys.
So he sent me a nice size one.
And also according to your state laws too, he has to go buy them.
Of course, it depends what kind of knife you buy because some states are legal, whatever the case.
Most states they are.
But awesome.
This is a Benchmade knife.
I had this for, I think he sent me this like eight months ago, whatever it was.
But still.
You told me you've taken it hiking, all kinds of stuff.
You know, I had sent Dan a couple smaller knives first, but they didn't match up with his hands.
So I sent him actually one of these lion steel knives, which is a fantastic knife.
I have normal human-sized hands.
Dan is the bionic.
You know, Dan, he has those huge hands.
And this still just didn't quite match up.
And this is a good size knife.
I mean, that's a three and a half inch blade.
I was like, well, we got to go up to a good four inch blade on Dan.
So he has something in his hands that's going to be a little more comfortable.
And it's funny because I know I've sent you other knives, but that's the one you always pull out because it's the one that fits you.
And there is a perfect knife for everyone.
If folks are having trouble finding tools, that's one of my favorite things to do is find the The silver knife for them, the perfect knife that's going to do everything for them.
Everyone has that, you know, and I would work in person with people and they get something in their hand and when they got that perfect item in their hand and it just felt right, you know, all of a sudden I got a little light knife in my pocket today.
It's called a Bugout.
It weighs 1.88 ounces and it's warm here and I'm wearing lighter clothes and I didn't want something heavy today.
And I got a little bug out.
And I love it for the fact that it weighs very little and it's perfect for me for what I'm doing today.
But it's having the right tools for that job.
And if things go really wrong, all of a sudden you're going to need these tools to move forward.
It's the same with truth.
We need truth to move forward.
These are all things that are interconnected in all of our lives.
You never want to be a victim.
You talk a lot about gun rights.
And, you know, somebody asked me recently, you know, about owning a gun.
Why would you need a gun?
I said, well, because when things fall apart, you know, it's not necessarily that I'm looking to go out and shoot someone.
But one of two things happens to someone that doesn't have proper tools.
All of a sudden, somebody walks up to you and they've got a big gun.
They've got a big 12 gauge and they look at you and you don't have anything to protect yourself.
And they look and they go, Nolan, what size shoes do you take?
Those are some really nice boots you got on there.
And now I'm wearing my flip-flops, right?
Because, you know, or worse is there's going to be a lawlessness, and lawlessness turns real ugly, and there are going to be innocents that get hurt.
There are going to be people that need protection.
And we are not to murder, we're not to kill, but there is going to be a time to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
And that is what you see mostly in the Bible is when it comes to using these things to protect.
It's oftentimes not to protect yourself.
It's to protect those around you that cannot do it themselves.
Exactly.
Just like the armies did, Joshua, Dave, and everybody did to protect their people throughout scripture.
I mean, even Peter carried a sword, you know what I mean?
So, that being said, man, you know, it's always good to have the proper tools.
And I want to thank you for your time, brother.
And we got to do another show again.
And yeah, guys, we didn't even touch half.
We touched about half of what we had covered.
We had it for study, I should say.
But there's so much.
And I'm sure you people out there can find a lot more, too.
It's unlimited.
The resources and information you can find in Scripture.
And it's still more out there.
This could have been a five-hour show, Dan.
I mean, honestly, when you talked to me, you came back and you're like, this is going to be too long.
And I'm like, it's not going to be too long.
But we've got to pick and choose because this could have gone on and on.
And the answer is, read your own Bibles.
Have that law written on your heart because you know it.
And, you know, the New Testament, the Old Testament, there's no left or right of that.
It's all one testament.
It is a, you know, it is that covenant that you need to have written on your heart.
So I appreciate you having me, Dan.
I'm always happy to join you.
Keep telling the truth.
Thank you, brother.
Let me close out the show.
Hang on right there, brother.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart once again to be on the show.
