declaring war on the new world order.
TruthRadioShow.com Shalom and welcome to the Dan Badani Show on TruthRadioShow.com and welcome to the final chapter of the book of Acts, chapter 28, in this in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible.
So if you missed chapters 1 through 27, don't go any further.
Go watch at least the last chapter to know what's going on and I would highly suggest to watch the whole thing.
And we also got the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well.
And we're completing here today the book of Acts.
So it's been a very good book, and I enjoyed doing a study on this book here today.
So it's the last chapter here, so I'm excited about this.
So I'm excited to get into the book of Romans.
So again, chapter 28. And again, to keep emphasizing, if you missed chapters 1 through 27, go watch it in the description of the video.
And we do a specific Bible study approach, like we do every video.
Very important to do, guys.
And pray for wisdom and understanding.
So let's do that today.
So, Jesus, we come before you again to ask you for forgiveness of each of us, of our individual sins and trespasses and abominations and transgressions that we may have committed.
And thank you so much for going to Calvary for us.
And thank you for constantly forgiving us for our stupid sins we do every day.
And, you know, you're such a merciful God because...
I don't know.
I've just lost for words because you're so forgiving and you're so wonderful and your grace is beyond measure.
Worth more than anything.
So we love you so much and Heavenly Father come before you and ask you in your mighty name to give us the divine wisdom and your Holy Spirit.
To send the Holy Spirit to us to help us disseminate your information today.
And write your word, Acts chapter 28, upon our hearts today so that we may know it from you.
That no Bible, college, no school, no church, or anything like that could teach you better than you and the Holy Spirit.
And we ask you for this divine wisdom in your mighty name.
And also we ask you to forgive everybody out there.
And also...
To comfort everybody out there that's going through any pain or loss or anything like that.
And protect us all from the forces of evil.
And help us to really understand your word.
And it's such a wonderful thing to learn your wisdom.
And it's amazing.
And teach it to us that better than any man on earth can do.
In your mighty name, amen.
And so we read the scripture in context because context is key.
And let the scripture interpret the scripture.
So, again, I have to emphasize, if you haven't, you know, not read up to chapter 28 yet, don't go any further.
And if you need to refresh your course, pause this video, guys.
Go read chapter 27. It was Paul's journey through the sea on his way to his execution.
So, Acts chapter 28. And so, and if you miss Adam, you know, for the sake of time...
I like to recap prior chapters, but long story short, they had a long journey, two weeks out in the ocean, and a lot of problems, and they just lost the ship.
And everybody just jumped off the boat to swim to the island.
They were on this island that the boat got caught up in the rocks and everything else, and the angel told Paul to tell them at the time, hey, nobody's going to be killed.
And the ship's going to be destroyed, but nobody's going to be killed, right?
And he told everybody to eat at the time, eat whatever you can now, and throw the rest off.
And hopefully they could get the ship into the creek to get it to the shore, but they couldn't do that.
The ship ended up getting stuck on the rocks and destroyed, so everybody jumped off and swam to the shore.
So, continue on to the final chapter, 28, and ShakeYourWakeRadio.com.
Thank you for carrying the show on your awesome, amazing network, which is Audio Edition, and if you've got a Bible, please open it.
And if you're watching on the video screen, open it anyway if you want.
We've got the video up here on the screen, the King James Bible.
So when they were escaped, when they knew that the island was called Milita, because at first they didn't know where they were.
They didn't know what land they were.
They didn't even know what country they were.
All they know is they seen land at the time because they had no navigation to know where they were.
So they end up learning that they were in the land of Milita, right?
When they escaped the shipwreck and everything else, and later on they learned they were in Milita.
So, and the barbarous people showed us no little kindness.
For they kindled a fire and received us, everyone, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
So, no little kindnesses.
Let me see here.
Because again, we've got to understand what these things mean.
Except, alright, exceptional kindness.
So it sounds a little different.
So, again, things change meaning over the years.
So when you hear no little kindness, that kind of sounds like they were harsh.
Because remember, they, on this land, this island, okay, this island of Melita, it was a barbarous people there.
So they actually showed them kindness.
Much kindness.
Exceptional kindness, right?
Because there was raining out and they just jumped off the ship, you know?
Because of the rain and because they were cold, right?
So they helped them, you know, the people there helped them.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat and fastened onto his hand.
So it's kind of interesting.
A viper, which is a snake, right?
I believe.
Well, you know, there's snakes called vipers, right?
So a viper came out of the heat and fastened onto his hand.
So let's see what this means.
Because remember, let the scripture interpret scripture.
Most of the time when you don't know what something means, you read on and you understand what it is, right?
So when the barbarians saw the venomous beast, yep, there we go, hang on his hand, So it was a snake.
A viper came out of the heat when Paul grabbed a bunch of sticks, right, to throw in the fire.
And a viper, this venomous snake, came out and latched on and bit Paul in the hand.
And when the barbarians saw this venomous beast hang on his hand, so this is a big snake.
They said among themselves, no doubt that this man is a murderer, whom though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to live.
So they say no doubt, you know, they're not questioning that this man is a murderer.
Remember, Paul was a murderer, you know.
Before he got converted, he was Saul, as you all know.
He murdered Christians, you know.
So from this act of this rapist launching out of nowhere and biting Paul...
The barbarians saw this venomous beast hanging on him and they said amongst themselves, there's no doubt that this man is a murderer, right?
Which was in his past, by the way.
Though he had escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers him not to live.
And he shook off the beast into the fire and felt no harm.
So remember, the angels were always looking out for Paul.
The angels, they told Paul, you're going to get to Caesar.
So Paul could easily die to no shipwrecks and everything else and all that stuff, but no.
He just shook off the beast and threw it right into the fire.
And Paul felt no harm.
And how about they looked when they should have swollen them, so they all looked and like, what?
Because after getting bit from something like that, your hand's going to swallow.
And you're going to fall down dead.
This is a viper.
A venomous beast, as it says, right?
So, automatically, they said, this guy is done.
Paul is dead.
That's it.
You know what I mean?
So, when he shook off the beast into the fire, they felt no harm.
So, they looked upon him.
How about looked at him when his hand should have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly.
But after they had looked a great while, they saw no harm Come to him.
And they changed their mind and said that he was a god.
So right away they thought, because I guess whatever that, customs on the island maybe, if you get charged by a viper like that, from a fire that says the sign of the person's murder or something like that.
Whatever the custom could be.
Or the ritual or something.
But after they seen that the viper like had it was lynched on the paws on.
Biting them, right?
The paw just shook it off and threw it into the fire.
And right away when you get bit like that your hands are going to swallow and you're going to end up dead.
Especially back then they didn't have no anti-venom and stuff like that.
You're dead.
Plain and simple.
They would try to suck the poison out but you're most likely dead, right?
Especially by a snake like that.
This is not a little snake we're talking about, you know.
So, again, how about they looked when they should have swollen.
He should have swollen.
His arm, you know, should have swelled up.
Or fallen down dead suddenly.
So they're like waiting for Paul, you know, they're like stunned, okay.
But after they looked a great while, they saw no harm come upon him.
And they changed their minds.
It's like, oh.
And said that he was a god.
This guy's got to be a god.
The snake bite didn't even bother him.
And some quarters were possessions of a chief man on the island whose name was Publius who received us and lodged us three days out of courtesy.
They gave them lodging for three days.
They were very hospital, right?
The hospitality was great here, right?
They helped them out, you know, because they had nothing.
They just jumped off their ship, right?
They gave them shelter and food and everything else, right?
For three days, right?
And it came to pass that the father of Publis laid sick of a fever of a bloody flux to whom Paul entered in and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.
So this guy, Publius, right?
His father, which is a saint, yeah?
He was sick from the mass of fear, right?
And again, they didn't have that kind of medicine and all that back then, right?
Bloody flux.
Let's see what that is.
Bloody flux in the Bible.
The disease by which the father of Publius was afflicted in Malta.
What is a blood?
Oh, diarrhea in which blood is mixed with the intestinal discharge.
Oh, that's nasty.
Never heard that before, but...
Alright, so this...
Publis' father I guess in the internal intestines I guess not only discharged from the rare end but also internally too is mixed with his blood.
Diarrhea in which blood is mixed with the intestinal discharges.
That's nasty.
So that's what that is.
This is bad.
Disease.
Never heard of this before.
It's the first time I actually heard of this.
So anyway, his father was sick and ready to die from this, right?
And Paul came in and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came where he were healed.
So once Paul healed this guy, everybody that had anything, come on into Paul and ask for help.
And Paul healed them all.
With the Holy Spirit, by the way, you know what I mean?
And, you know, the power of Jesus.
Who also honored us with many honors, and when they departed, they laided us with such things as were necessary.
So basically gave them supplies they needed to continue on to the journey, right?
So, and after three months were departed in a ship of Alexandria, they had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
Let's see what sarcastic reports mean.
The twin sons of Jupiter and Lita were rather the total divinities of sailors.
Hence, the image was often used as a figurehead.
Alright, so, I don't know if you've ever seen on a lot of these old ships, the pirate ships too and everything, they had some kind of a woman's head or upper body statue carved into the ship there.
The twin sons of Jupiter and Lita.
So, a woman of these two guys...
So after three months, we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castroports.
So there's always a significance why they mention this stuff.
But again, this is a Roman ship, I mean, a Roman, that Romans are controlling us, and they all went on for these pagan gods and goddesses, the fake gods, right?
The old Casey gods.
So in Landon and Syracuse...
We tarried there three days.
Again, tarried means to spend time.
Like I said in the last chapter, don't ever be afraid to look up a rest.
Even if people are going to think you're dumb or something, who cares?
We need to understand the whole thing.
To stay for a long period of time, or somewhere for a long period of time, right?
So they land in Syracuse, and they tarry there for three days.
Stay there.
Right?
And from thence, we fetched a compass.
Oh, so there was compasses on, right?
So, and came to Regium, and after one day, the south wind blew, and we came to the next day to Petuli.
And where we found brethren, and where desire to tarry with them seven days, stay with them for seven days, and so we went toward Rome.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as a pea forum.
And the three taverns whom Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, right?
But Paul was suffering to dwell by himself with the soldier that kept him.
So suffering the Bible means product of the full consequences of human sin against God.
So that's what stuff means.
So, again, there's different meanings from then and now with certain words.
So, now I know Paul is one of the prisoners, right?
So, the centurion, which is the commander, delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard.
And now this is a long journey to deliver these prisoners, you know?
And so, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with the soldier that kept him.
And it came to pass that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together.
And when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
So if you caught up with us here in the last few chapters, you'll understand what's going on, right?
Paul didn't do nothing.
He didn't violate the law.
Even though the Jews were accusing him, he did.
Accused him of committing blasphemy because he spoke of Jesus and all that, right?
And Paul said, no, I'm the one obeying the law.
You guys are not obeying it.
And it was the same situation with Jesus and the same situation with Stephen, right?
Now they're going to kill, they want to kill Paul.
Because they think he's committing blasphemy, right?
He's not.
Because the prophets told the Jews back then, the coming of Jesus Christ and everything about him, right?
Yeah.
But the Jews here, they refused to believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
So they killed Jesus for it.
Then they killed Stephen because Stephen was a massive, awesome...
Apostles of Jesus, right?
Spreading the word like wildfire, right?
Having boldness of speaking in the synagogues and everything else, right?
And the Jews ended up killing him.
Now Paul was one of the murderers of the Christians.
He was a henchman for the Jews, right?
And he got converted from Saul to Paul and now he's one of the most powerful disciples ever.
And now they want him dead.
So, yeah, I was a deliberate prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
And he's telling them, I have committed nothing against you people at all, all your customs.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go because there was no cause of death in me?
So basically he's saying, who, the Romans, right?
The Romans examined me.
They were going to let me go.
Because they didn't find no wrong, no fault me at all.
No cause of death in me.
You know, there's no point in putting me to death because they didn't have no evidence against him, right?
But when the Jews spoke against that, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar.
Not that I ought to accuse my nation of, right?
So this is why he's here in Rome now.
Because this is the appeal unto Caesar.
Right?
For this cause therefore I have called for you, right?
To see you, to speak with you, because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
Because you guys are accusing me of doing something I didn't do, right?
And you want me dead, and the Romans, they declared me innocent, but you guys still insisted on them executing me.
So now we have to bring this appeal to the high court, the highest, you know, which is Caesar, right?
And they had said unto them, the Jews said to them, right?
We neither receive letters out of Judea concerning you, Neither of the brethren that came showed or spoke any harm of thee.
But we desire to hear of thee of what you think.
For as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.
So this is not lying.
We didn't receive no letters.
Nobody spoke any harm of you.
Which was a lie.
They most certainly did.
But we wouldn't hear any word, right?
Because now they're all going to be going before the season.
Right?
So, of course, I backtracked a little bit.
But anyway, and when he had appointed him a day, there came many to him, like the appointment day, which is the appeal before season.
There came many to him and to his lodging, to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God.
So let's see what expounded.
To lay open a meaning to explain or discuss at length.
To clear obscurity to interpret.
So, yeah.
That's the role of some religious leaders to expound a text of scripture.
A law, a word, meaning, or riddle.
So, yeah.
When they had appointed him a day to give a day for the appeal, there came many to him into his lodging where he was staying, right?
Where Paul was being held.
Whom did he expound it?
So they sit there to lay open the meaning of the laws, discuss at length, declare the obscurity, or interpret it, right?
And testify the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
So Paul was just all night explaining to these people, I'm the one fulfilling the law.
I'm the one obeying the law.
And this is all from the prophets.
Speaking of Jesus.
And some believed the things which were spoken and some believed not.
So all the people that Paul spoke to, some believed and some didn't.
And when they agreed and not among themselves, they departed.
So, yeah, when they did come to an agreement, they departed.
After that, Paul spoke in one word.
Woe spake the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers.
Saying, go unto the people, and say, hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.
Verse 1.
So, hear ye shall hear.
And shall not understand.
In seeing, you shall see, but not perceive.
You know, it's another word for not understand.
You know, it's going on, right?
For the heart of this people is wax gross.
In other words, let's get the full definition of that.
This is what a Bible study is.
Wax gross is what a perfect way to describe a collective heart of the Jewish people in the first century.
To take and strengthen or make gross of a dull metaphor causing the wax fat increase.
So, yeah.
So, from the heart of the people is wax gross, and the ears are dull of hearing, and the eyes have closed.
In other words, they're not paying attention.
They don't understand what Paul's saying.
Right?
Plain and simple.
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and should be healed.
Be it known, therefore, unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
And when they had these words, the Jews departed in great reasoning among themselves.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house and received all that came into him.
So Paul, I guess, two more years he spent here in Rome.
Right?
And this hired house is, you know, it's this house he was renting or that he was put in, whatever the case, right?
And I think he was put there.
They were paying for him to be there, right?
Because he was a prisoner for a while, but he had to stay there for two years, right?
And received all that came to him.
Now, everybody that came to him, he received them.
In other words, talked with them, negotiated with them and everything else, right?
And preaching the kingdom of God and teaching those things concerning the Lord Christ with all confidence and no man forbidding them.
So I guess he just left it at that.
and he was supposed to be executed that's why he's being led to Rome right Which continues on to the book of Romans.
We're going to start that the next show here.
As you can see here, Paul, after all this debacle, the long journey to the sea and everything else, Paul just confronted his accusers.
You guys got nothing on me?
The Romans, they found no guilt in me at all?
None at all.
And you guys are trying to prosecute me and have me killed.
Talk about the Jewish elders and high praise.
I didn't do nothing wrong.
I did not one thing at all that disobeyed the commandments, the laws or anything like that.
I actually preach what the prophets, the very prophets that you guys preach about, I preach what they foretold.
I didn't do nothing wrong and he convinced everybody of that.
And the Jews, they had nothing to say.
And Romans didn't want to put him to death because he was a Roman himself.
And on top of it, if you're a Roman at the time, you would not be put to death if you were not accused, you were not convicted.
And if you're a Roman, you get a little bit certain extra privileges, you know what I mean?
But as a Roman, he was not allowed to be put to death unless he was convicted.
And this is the case right now.
So if you guys got any further questions or comments or any more understanding you want, put it in the comments section here.
So some of these videos, like I said, they take 15 minutes, 20 minutes, or whatever, a half hour.
In this case, yeah.
And it's not about the time.
It's about getting the context of the Scripture out.
So we completely understand what's going on.
And what I like to do, too, is put myself in that situation, you know, mentally, just think I'm Paul at the situation and try to understand what's going on.
Try to get into Paul's head, is what I'm trying to say, to understand what's going on at the time and everything else.
And it paints a whole story.
It really does.
It gives you the whole detail.
I shouldn't say a story, but an account.
This historical account.
Like when you read the words of Jesus, you're there listening to him.
Like he's standing there before you, and it's a whole new meeting.
You understand it a lot better than anything else.
Work with the Holy Spirit.
So for two years after, right?
Yeah.
In his own hired house, he received everybody that came to him.
Anybody that would come to him, he talked to him.
He preached the kingdom of God and taught those things which concerned the Lord Jesus Christ.
With all confidence.
And no man forbid him.
So at this point, nobody was against him.
For two years.
Paul was able to confidently and without resistance to teach the Word of God and to teach of Jesus Christ.
That's awesome.
And you know how many people he witnessed to in Rome there?
And mind you, Romans are all pagans, right?
Yeah.
How many people did Paul correct?
We don't even know.
There's tons of them, right?
So we're going to find a little bit more about Paul in the next book, the book of Romans.
So if you missed Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and now Acts, it's all in the descriptions.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
It's in our playlist.
So if you go to truthradioshow.com Okay, right on the top of the page, you'll see the Bible series.

This is the computer version.
I'm still trying to work with the web company to get the phone edition to look like this.
