If you are receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
TruthRadioShow.com Shalom and welcome to the Dan Badani Show on TruthRadioShow.com and welcome to the Book of Acts.
So we've got 28 awesome chapters to go with the Book of Acts and we're going to start chapter by chapter first with chapter 1. So if you haven't seen Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we've got all of the chapters chapter by chapter in each book on our playlist.
So, what we do here is we don't just read through the Bible, we do an in-depth, comprehensive study of the Scriptures.
So, like here, the book of Acts, chapter 1. And it's a comprehensive study.
And what we do, guys, before we get going, we like to do a specific Bible study approach.
Which, number one, is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So let's do that right now.
So, Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, we come before you and ask you to forgive us all of our individual sins and trespasses, transgressions, or abominations.
Make us clean before the Father.
Father, we come before you and ask you, first of all, thank you for everything you've done for us.
And we ask you to give us the great comforter, the Holy Spirit, to teach us your word today.
Acts chapter 1, written by Luke.
To write it upon our hearts.
And we ask you to heal anybody out there and just comfort them if they need comfort in any which way, spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, whatever the case.
We ask you to help them, Lord, and protect us all from the forces of evil.
In your mighty name, amen.
So what we do next, guys, is we read the scripture in context, because context is key.
We don't frog hop up all over the Bible, you know what I mean, when we do our studies.
We'll show things like once in a while, like we're going to do in a minute, yeah.
We'll show you a couple things so we can identify what we're talking about.
But when we read the scriptures, we're not going to, you know, read a couple of verses of Acts, then jump to another chapter, another book, and all that.
That's not how we do things.
Like churches do, you know?
We do things the way the Bible tells us to read in context.
Context is key.
And let the Scripture interpret the Scripture.
Don't lean on your understanding or my understanding.
Let the Holy Spirit lead us.
Plain and simple.
So, before we get going, I want to point this out because it's going to be very significant to what we're going to be talking about in our book of Acts today.
So, mind you, the book of Acts, alright?
This is Luke.
This is after Jesus was born.
He resurrected, he was crucified, resurrected, and ascended into heaven from Mount Olives.
So this is after this point here.
So, now the reason I'm bringing this up for, because Charles Spurgeon talked about this, right?
And who this great comforter that Jesus promised us.
Because I know a lot of religions will take a single verse, like this one, yeah.
John 14, 6, in the middle there.
He goes, I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another comforter.
That who he might abide with you forever, right?
So they'll take one scripture, out of context, right?
And, you know, the Muslims might use this to talk about Muhammad.
Or you'll have, you know, the Mormons talk about Joseph Smith, that this is Jesus, you know, saying, you know, there's another prophet or whatever coming.
You know what I mean?
Who's he talking about?
Well, again, read description context.
But before we do that, okay, Charles Spurgeon, he knew about this, and he ticked off a lot of religious people because Charles Spurgeon preached from the gospel.
He didn't go preaching religious doctrine.
There's a big difference, by the way.
So anyway, he says, Jesus Christ had been the official instructor of his saints, Which they called him the apostles.
And while he was on earth, right?
And they called no man rabbi except for Christ.
And they sat not at the feet of men to learn their doctrines, but they heard them directly from the lips of Jesus, who spoke like no other man has ever spoke.
And when Christ was to leave, where would the people find another infallible teacher?
Should they go to a pope in Rome?
To be their infallible, teacher or oracle?
Or should they just learn from the councils of the churches to decide all naughty points?
And Christ said no such things.
Absolutely he said none of that.
He didn't say, and at the time there was no popes or nothing, but he didn't say go to any of these people.
Don't go to religious leaders or whatever.
You know, he didn't say any of that stuff.
By what He said, right?
In John 14, 6, right?
He says, I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another comforter, and that He may abide with you forever, right?
And who's that other comforter?
And if you go on to the rest of John 14, He says, but the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, that's right, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, that's the comforter.
Whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
So that's why we just prayed that the Holy Ghost might write the word of God upon us.
That's why we do this.
So if you've got a Bible, guys, please open it up.
We prefer the King James Version.
We've got the King James Version on our screen.
But those listening on ShakeAwakeRadio.com, the audio edition, just open up your Bible and go to Acts chapter 1. So again, we're going to do chapter by chapter.
Today's just the book of Acts chapter 1. So again, it's an in-depth, comprehensive study of this awesome scripture here.
So it's going to be exciting.
So I had to bring up what the Holy Spirit is because it's very important that he's a comforter, right?
Very important we're going to teach today.
Luke here, that writes the book of Acts, he's talking about the Holy Spirit here.
So he says,"...from the former treaties I have made, O Diophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach." So everything that Jesus did and taught, right, they're going to continue with this.
And also, to the day in which he was taken up after that he, through the Holy Ghost, had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen.
So right here you're going to hear about the Holy Ghost now, right?
Had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen, right?
he, alright, the Holy Spirit.
So, and to whom also showed himself alive after the passion of many infallible proofs, being seen of them 40 days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. being seen of them 40 days and speaking of the Bye.
So now what they do, this is after Jesus has already ascended to the temple.
But Luke here brings up what Jesus told him when he was alive here on the earth, right?
He said, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem.
But wait for the promise of the Father which hath said he, you have heard of it.
Right?
So for John truly baptized with water, but you should be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Right?
So he's talking about John the Baptist baptized with water and everything, right?
But you'll be baptized with the Holy Spirit as well.
Afterwards, right?
So when they therefore, where they come together, which is, by the way, it's fire.
You baptize physically, like I got baptized a couple weeks ago.
At night you see TV's Puritan Bun.
David Carrico and Josh Watts there.
So you get baptized with water, right?
And the Holy Ghost baptizes you with fire.
It's called spiritual fire.
It doesn't let you on fire.
The physical parts of the water, the spiritual parts of the fire.
That's what it is, right?
So the Holy Spirit comes within you.
You know, it's awesome.
And so, when therefore they come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord...
When will this time again be when the kingdom of Israel is restored?
So this is Luke talking about what Jesus told him at the time.
That he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in his own power.
So you're not going to know this right now, he says.
But you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you.
So now, he's bringing up what happened when Jesus told him when he was on earth.
Now, when this book was written, when Luke was talking about it, this is after the case of Jesus already in heaven.
But he's bringing this up because he remembered what Jesus told him, right?
And he says, but you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in Judea.
And in Samaria, and out to the uttermost part of the earth.
So you've got to go all over the world preaching.
And when they had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and the cloud received him out of their sight.
So this is, they're on Mount, he's talking about them being on Mount of Olives, right?
Now this is Jesus already after, he's already been crucified, he already resurrected, right?
And this is the final message.
He tells them in Matthew 24 and all that, you know, what's going to happen before he returns, before the return of the Son of Man, right?
So he ascends into heaven in the cloud.
And while they're looking up, they're just staring up in the sky into heaven, right?
As Jesus went up into heaven, and behold, two men stood by them with white apparel.
Two men, which is two angels.
Which also said, you men of Galilee, why do you stand up and gaze into heaven?
They're asking them, the apostles, right?
Why are you standing up and gaze into heaven for?
This is the same Jesus which has taken up from you into heaven.
So shall you so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
Because remember, Jesus said the same thing.
He goes, as you see me go, I'm going to return.
So, one glorious day, guys, and hopefully soon, when Jesus returns, he's coming through the clouds.
He went up in the cloud, he's coming back into the cloud.
With great power and glory.
And every eye is going to see this day, right?
And he's coming right on the Mount of Olives, as prophesies.
Now you've got two angels, again, reiterating this prophecy, to tell him, don't worry about it.
He's going up to heaven, guys, don't keep staring up there.
He'll be back.
Right?
So, they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount called Olivet, which is the Mount of Olives, which is, from Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.
And just, by the way, guys, for notes out there, for you dispensationalists out there, Jesus, the apostles, the early church fathers, all the fathers always kept the Sabbath day, even after the resurrection.
It was never changed.
It's been Saturday, and it's always going to be Saturday.
In those seven-day events, I don't follow no religion.
I follow the Bible.
The Lord's Day is Saturday.
It's already mentioned once in the Bible.
It's Revelation chapter 1. John, he said he was in the spirit of the Lord's Day.
That's the Sabbath.
Not Sunday.
That's a Catholic thing.
The Catholic Church, by their own admittance, admitted that we were Constantine, Put a decree in to officially change the Sabbath day to Sunday, which is anti-Bible.
The Bible says it's the seventh day, plain and simple.
It's the Lord's day.
Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, as declared.
And Paul, in Hebrews chapter 4, said, bring it up the Sabbath, and the rest of his day, and him, right?
He says, if there was another day, we would have told you so.
And they never said anything like that.
And the only reason why they went to the tomb Sunday morning, because Saturday was the Sabbath.
They could have went Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, he had already been gone.
The angels told her in the morning, Mary, right?
She went there early Sunday morning to see if he was there.
And the angel told her, no, no, he's already gone.
He already left, which would indicate he left on the Sabbath.
Three days and three nights, Wednesday to Saturday.
So anyway...
And when they came, and I like to put these facts out there, guys, so you get a clear understanding.
Alright, so what the Bible says.
And when they came, I'm sorry, and when they were come in, and they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Barthomew, Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, and Judas, the brother of James.
Now, this wasn't Judas Iscariot.
So don't confuse him with Judas Iscariot.
This is Judas, the brother of James.
Right?
So, remember Judas Iscariot is the one who betrayed Jesus, right?
Yeah.
So don't confuse those two.
There's two Johns, by the way, too.
This is not the Baptist John.
This is the Apostle John.
So, I just want to make that understanding because John the Baptist at this point is already dead.
He was beheaded, right?
Right?
And Judas Iscariot, he was a betrayer.
And I think he ended up killing himself, whatever the case happened.
Well, they crucified him upside down.
I don't know what they did, but yeah.
I forgot.
I'm sorry.
That's what happened to Judas Iscariot.
But this is Judas, the brother of James.
So I just want to point that out and so you know who these guys are.
So these all continue with one accord and prayer and supplication.
So what is supplication?
So let's find out what supplication means, right?
To humbly, in the Bible, right?
It means to humbly entreaty, especially to pray to God, in a sense of term, to humbly or earnestly seek.
So basically, it's almost like the physical act of praying.
Yeah, sure, you go, you get down on your knees or whatever, just praying, you're better, whatever.
But it's important to believe in a prayer.
Not just to utter the words, it's not going to do you nothing.
Because if you go back to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, whatever, when one woman, the unclean woman, when Jesus was coming to the town, he was surrounded by so many people, right?
She was unclean, and all she wanted to do was just try to get to Jesus just to touch his garment so she could be made clean.
So she fought through all the people.
Just trying to push his way through to get to the front.
And she grabbed Jesus' garment.
Just reached out and grabbed it.
And she was made clean.
Jesus stopped in the tracks.
And it's like, who touched my garment?
So she turned around.
She was like, wow.
She thought she was in trouble.
Jesus goes, no.
And Jesus told her right out.
It's like, it wasn't my garment that made you clean.
It was your faith that did that.
So if you can understand that.
How important that is, supplication, right?
And the faith and the prayer, it works.
You've got to believe as Jesus says, believe it.
Your faith is what heals you.
So these all continue with one accord in prayer and supplication with the woman, which is Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jesus and his brethren.
So by the way, I know this is going to rub Catholics the wrong way, but Mary, she had children with Joseph.
We covered that through the last four Gospels.
We showed you that.
She's a blessed mother, but she didn't die a virgin.
She clearly had sexual relations with her husband, and rightfully so.
Joseph, right?
Rightfully so.
That's her husband.
And Matthew chapter 1 says she knew her husband not until after Jesus was born.
Consummated the marriage.
So regardless, I just want to make that clear.
Yeah, Joseph had some children before, but yeah, those brethren, okay, they were the brothers and sisters of Jesus.
Through Mary as well.
So...
And in those days, Peter stood up in the midst of disciples and said, the number of names together were about 120. So it was about 120 people altogether.
The followers, the disciples, and all that stuff, right?
So, men and brethren...
This scripture needs to be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David, spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus, right?
So, again, we're not referring to Judas here, the brother of James, Judas Iscariot.
So, they're down one disciple, right?
So I'm sorry, guys.
The 120, all right?
Let me rephrase that.
I messed up.
I'm sorry.
So I just got to slow down.
That's what I got to do.
So the number of names together were about 120. These are the 120 candidates.
Basically, to fulfill the spot of Judas Iscariot.
Again, not Judas here, the brother James, Judas Iscariot, to replace him, right?
So it was about 120 people, candidates, right?
So, for he was numbered with us, and he obtained part of this ministry, right?
So now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity.
We talked about this, the potter's field.
And I bring this up here, that this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, right?
And fallen headlong burst asunder in the mist, and his bowels gushed out, so it was painful and disgusting.
So, and it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem, insomuch that the field is called, in their proper tongue, Alchimida.
That is to say, the field of blood, which they call a potter's field.
That's why you see a lot of graveyards.
The potter's field graveyards, they're the graveyards where basically people...
Who pass, like who die, whatever, that can't afford a burial or whatever the case, they bury them in potter's fields, right?
And that's where that all comes from.
There was a field that basically where people couldn't afford burials and stuff, and today, you know, same thing.
So you'll hear that in some states.
I know Rhode Island has potter's fields and Massachusetts, whatever the case, but yeah, that's where that comes from.
So, verse 20, for it's written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein.
And his bishopric let another take.
So what is a bishopric?
The district over which the jurisdiction of a bishop extended.
So again, Acts, that's where we're on now.
That's where it's talking about, right?
It's an old English bio-prince diocese province of a bishop.
So it's a property, basically.
That's what it is.
It's a bishopric.
And I mean, it was a place where the bishop office will be there.
Alright, so that's what that is, in case you're wondering what a bishop is.
So, verse 21, Wherefore, of these men which have accompanied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and among us, in and among us, right?
And beginning from the baptism of John, Unto the same day that he was taken up from us, one must be ordained to be witness with us of his resurrection, right?
So they talk about this new apostle, right?
But they talk about Jesus.
This one is obviously John the Baptist.
This was way back to talking about, right?
And they appointed two.
So they appointed two people, Joseph called Barabbas, who was surnamed Justice, and Matthias.
So there's another Joseph now, right?
There's a couple of Josephs here.
And so there's Joseph of Barabbas, I'm sorry, and Matthias.
They were two appointed now to replace Judas.
And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou has chosen.
So they're asking, in prayer, they're asking the Lord to show them that they chose, if these two were the right to choose to replace Judas.
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression, which is sin, fell, that he may go into his own place.
So again, they're looking for two people to replace Judas.
And they gave forth their lots, and the lots fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
So I guess Matthias got the job, if you want to put it that way, with a lot.
so let's see what lots are in the Bible.
And the practice of describing the book of Acts and casting, given or taken, lots has means to select a new apostle to replace Judas Iscariot.
So that's what it means.
So I guess what happened was they had, alright, let me summarize this here.
So they had 120 candidates that showed up, whatever the case, to be another apostle, right?
To replace Judas Iscariot.
Right?
So, it limited down to what I'm seeing here now, to get this all correct here, it limited down to two people that appointed, right?
They were appointed, basically, into the finals, if you want to put it that way, right?
So, Joseph of Barbaras, called Barbaras, I'm sorry, Joseph called Barbaras, and whose name is surname Justice.
So, this guy Joseph and this guy Matthews, them two were appointed, right?
And so, when they prayed and said...
Because the Lord knows all men's hearts.
Show us whether of these two they had chosen.
So basically, show us which one to choose.
That's what they're saying in the prayer.
So out of 120, it was down to two people.
Joseph and Matthias, right?
And they may take part of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he may go into his own place, right?
And they gave forth their lots, and the lots fell upon Matthias.
And he was numbered with eleven apostles.
So we get more into this, I believe, in chapter two, where it goes on to...
Alright, yeah.
I'm going to place the Pentecost.
So then I'll save that for the next video.
Because I just want to do chapter by chapter, guys.
We've got 28 chapters in the book Vax.
Let me double check that to make sure.
Yeah, 28 chapters in the Book of Acts, so we do chapter by chapter.
So, let me know which guys are in the chat room, and if you guys have anything to add to this, whatever the case is, you've seen I didn't, or whatever the case, if you've got any questions, comments, concerns, any of the such, please put them in the comment section, not the chat room, but the comment section, and I'll get back to you.
And also we'll be back for chapter 2. So I'm excited to start this chapter here.
It's pretty awesome.
