All right, this class here, we're going to go over Acts chapter 10. We're going to call this Cornelius the white man. ??? because can a brother tell me stand up and tell me what's the uh the philosophy or the thought in religion that they teach about Cornelius in Acts 10. Can a brother explain it to me? Uh brother Makabe in the back. I mean they use this scripture to say that everything you eat is clean. Well, that's a different thing that they use. They use that to justify their food. But when they talk about Cornelius, brother Elod, they also use Acts 10 for that to try to justify they can eat whatever they want. Uh, they say that Cornelius was a gentile trying to bring in all the nations as well. What kind of gentile? Uh, a heathen, a so-called Edomite, white man. Make it plain deep. He deep. They say he's a white man. They say Cornelius is a white man. This is after Christ died for for God so loved the world he died and he brought everybody in and Cornelius is the first part of that. So we're going to go through the scriptures and prove that ain't nowhere near the truth at all. All right. Precept upon precept first. Give me um Isaiah 28 so we can get that understanding first. I think it's like Yeah. The book of Isaiah chapter 28 verse 9 verse 10 the book of Isaiah the 28th chapter in the 10th verse for precept must be upon precept precept upon precept line upon line upon line here a little and there a little so to get the understanding of the Bible you have to jump to different places to get the understanding precept upon precept line upon mind here a little, there a little. The Bible is a mystery and it can only be unlocked by the Israelites that keep the commandments of God. You cannot read it like a historical book cuz you won't get the understanding of it.
So let's go back to Acts chapter 10 verse one. The book of Acts, chapter 10 and verse one. Acts the 10th chapter and the first verse. There was a certain man in Cesaria called Cornelius. A centurion of the band called the Italian band. So it was a man of Cesaria called Cornelius. It says he was a centurion. I went over this with my little my group a few weeks ago. What does it mean to be a centurion? Liel [Music] uh the centur the centurions were the uh police force of the Romans. Uh, yeah, but it's it means a little something else. [Music] Male it is. That's correct. That's half of it meaning like general over 100. General of a 100 centurion cent scent is 100 century 100. So he was a general or commander in the Italian Roman army. He was a commander over a 100 people. All right. So it says the band of the Italian band. Now the question is I said he's an Israelite. Were there Israelites in Rome is the question. Were there Israelites in Rome? Let's go to Acts chapter 18. The book of Acts chapter 18 verse one. Acts the 18th chapter in the first verse. After these things Paul departed from Atheus and came to Corinth and found a certain Jew named Aquilla born in Pontius lately come from Italy. He was come from where? Italy. Read on. With his wife Priscilla because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome. So it was Jews in Rome. That's how we find Cornelius being a commander in the Italian Roman army. That's where we had dwelt at. Why? How did we end up in Rome though? This the thing cuz Rome is across the sea. You got you've got Israel here which is connected to the land mass of Africa. You got the Middle East here. Rome is over top of that. It's separated by water. So how else would we get there? Go to second Mcabes chapter 8. Let's see what was Rome Jews doing in Rome. Second Mcabes chapter 8 and I believe it is around verse 10. Second Mcabes 8. We proven how it was Israelites in Rome. Second Mcabes chapter 8 verse 10 and 11. Second Mcabes chapter 8 and verse 10. So Niconor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews. Now the Mcabes brothers is during what time period? What captivity is this? Uh brother captivity. During the Greek captivity. So the Greeks ruled before the Romans. Same people calling theirel by different names, so-called white people. The Greeks rule first and then we're reading here in second Mcabes where the Romans began to come into power. Just like if you speed it up to today's history, before the Americans ruled, the so-called British and the French and the Spaniards ruled, all the same people call theyelf different names. So that's what we read in here. Read that part again. Verse 10. Verse 10. So Niconor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews and should defay the tribute of 2,000 talents which the king was to pay to the Romans. Mhm. Verse 11. Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews. So the Romans were selling captive Jews during the Greek captivity. So that would make sense when we read in Acts chapter 10 how there's a Roman or a Jew in the land of Rome because his forefathers was being sold back and forth to the Romans. It would only make sense the same thing today. You are here now today because your forefathers were sold back in 1600 back and forth between white people.
So, go back to Acts chapter 10. So, now we know that there were Jews in Rome. Um, Brother Taziah real quick, give me those pictures that we got popped up. We got some pictures of what is known as the Roman catacombs. Uh, any one of them. This was the underground bunkers in Rome. Let's see what they got up there. These is pictures. If you can see the faces, it's very hard to tell cuz this is very old. Now, this right here is Samson painted. Oh, you got it on slideshow. Just click on the picture. No, blow it up. You just click on the [Music] picture. All right. So, what we got here is Samson fighting a lion. This is in Rome underneath the city where they dug out trenches because we read in Acts 18, Claudius Caesar commanded that all Jews leave out of Rome. So, they didn't have anywhere else to go. What did they do? They dug tunnels under the ground and lived secretly under the city. And this is what they painted. Go to the next picture. [Music] All right. This is one of the versions of what Christ looked like. The shepherd, brownskinned man. You see the background's white. All right. He got a woolly hair, a little fro. Go to the next one. This is another picture of the Last Supper. Blow it up so we can see it. Closer. Closer. Closer. As you can see, they painted the people brown with afro. Is it another one? All right, blow that one up. Pull it down. [Music] Okay, this is a picture up top of what you see is Abraham about to sacrifice um Isaac. This is a picture that they drew. You can see Isaac's a little brown boy. It's hard to make out Abraham's face. It's another picture that's a lot clearer than that. But that's what they drew in Rome. There it goes in the underground catacombs. And that's the little knife in his hand right there.
So let's go back to Acts chapter 10. Read verse one again. The book of Acts chapter 10 and verse one. Acts the 10th chapter and the first verse. There was a certain man in Cesaril called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band. Read on. A devout man and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much arms to the people and prayed to God always. So what does it mean to be a devout man? Brothers, what does it mean to be a devout man? Brother Daniel, Um, the B needs to be dedicated. Dedicated. Okay. Dedicated to what? He's dedicated to the word, the most high. Okay. Go to Acts chapter 22:12. The book of Acts, chapter 22 and verse 12. Acts the 22nd chapter and the 12th verse. And one Ananas, a devout man according to the law. according to the what? According to the law. So devout means to be devout to the laws of God. Cornelius was a devout man according to the laws of God. Now who were the laws of God given to? Israelites. And do we have an example of our forefathers of northern kingdom keeping the laws of God? Yeah. Can somebody give me an example of a brother in the scriptures? [Music] Elad to go to Tobit real quick. We get these precepts so you can have examples so you can completely understand who Cornelius was. The book of Tobit chapter one. Read verse one first so we can find out what tribe he came from. Toby chapter one and the apocrypha chapter 1 and verse one. The book of the words of Toby, the son of Tobiel, the son of Aniel, the son of Adul, the son of Gab, Gabel, of the seed of Aziel of the tribe of Neptali, of the tribe of Nefali, which was one of the northern kingdom tribes. He was of the tribe of Nefali, the northern kingdom. Read verse three. Verse three. I Toby have walked all the days of my life in the way of the truth of truth and justice and did many armed to the brethren and my nation who came with me to Nineveh in the land of the Assyrians. Jump down to verse six. Verse six. But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feast, and it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the first fruits of the tenth of the increase, with that which was first shorn, and them I gave at the altar to the priests, the children of Aaron. So that's an example of a northern kingdom, brother, keeping the commandments of God.
So going back to Acts chapter 10, Acts 10 and let's read verse 3 and [Music] 4. The book of Acts chapter 10 verse two verse three verse three he saw in a vision evidently about the 9inth hour of the day an angel of God coming into him so that's about 3:00 in the afternoon read on and saying unto him Cornelius and when he looked up on him he was afraid and said what is it Lord he said unto him thy prayer in thy arms are come up for a memorial before God so now these prayers and His arms have come up as a memorial before God. Nowhere in the Bible will you find where the prayers of [ __ ] and and Asians and Africans have ever been heard by God. Won't find it. He ain't hearing their prayers. So let's pro go to uh Revelation chapter 8 verse three. Let's prove whose prayers came up before God. Is it all nations? Is he hearing everybody or is he hearing only a certain people once they return from their sins? Revelation chapter 8 verse 3 and 4. The book of Revelation chapter 8 and verse three. Revelation the 8th chapter in the third verse. And another angel came and stood at the altar having a golden sensor. And there was given unto him much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints. The prayers of who? Of all the saints. The saints according to God is in Psalms 148-14, which are the Israelites. Read on. Upon the golden altar, which was before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. So, nowhere in the Bible will you ever read of the most high God hearing the prayers of some other nation. He only hears the prayers of the Israelites when they return from their sin. How do we know that? John 9:31 says, "The Lord hears not the prayers of sinners." So for in order for God to be hearing your prayers for some deliverance from something, you got to be out of the midst of sin. Go here's another example. Go to Toby 12:15. Back in Tobit in the Apocrypha 12:15 so we can find out because it said it was an angel that brought up these prayers before God. Let's see if we can find out who that angel was. Tobit 12:15. The book of Tobit 12 and verse 15. Tobit the 12th chapter and the 15th verse. I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels. What was this angel's name? Raphael. Read on. One of the seven holy angels which present the prayers of the saints and which go in out before the glory of the holy one. So we in Revelation, that angel that we're reading about is Raphael that takes the prayers of the saints before the most high God.
So let's go back to Acts chapter 10 and see who Cornelius is looking at when he's talking to him. Read verse 10. Read verse three again. Acts 10 and 3. The book of Acts chapter 10 and verse three. And saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming into him. What was this angel's names, brother? Raphael. Raphael. Read on. And saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked up on him, he he was afraid and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said unto him, "Thy prayer and thy arms are come up for memorial before God." And verse 5, "And now send and now send men to Japa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter." He lodged with one Simon, a trainer, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. What is a tanner, brother? for everybody's edification in here. Brother Mark, what is a tanner? If you up front, officer Rise got the mic. A person who converts animal skin to leather. A person who converts animal skins to leather. A tanner. All right. Is somebody who turns animal skins into leather. All right. So, uh, verse seven. Verse seven. And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants and and a devout soldier of them that wanted on him continually that waited on him continually. So that's three people. He called two people from his household and a devout soldier. We already know what it means to be devout, right? To do what? Keep the laws. Keep the laws. All right. So, we know who this other soldier was that was with Cornelius. All right? He was an Israelite.
So, let's get to the point now. Let's jump down to verse 11. Remember, there was three three people he sent. Verse 11. And I saw heaven open, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheep knit at the four corners, and led down to the earth. Go back and read verse 10 again real quick. Verse 10. And he became very hungry and would have and would have eaten. But while they made ready, he fell into a trance. He fell into a trance. So let's see. Go to numbers, right? 24. And let's see what's going on with Peter. So we can paint the picture. We can put oursel there and see what kind of trance he done fell into. Is it one of those we see on the movie? He's doing this over and over again. rocking his head against the wall like them fake Jews do. Is he doing all of that? Go to act uh numbers 24. I know it's on the left hand side. 24 and verse 16. The book of numbers chapter 24 verse 16. 3:15 verse 15. He took up his parable and said, "Balam, the son of Berah hath said, and the man whose eyes are open, hath said, he hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most high, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open." So, he's falling into a trance, but he's got his eyes open. What do we call that nowadays, brother, when you fall into a trance? I got the same hands up. Come on, put your hands up, brother in the front. Daydreaming. Daydreaming. Or you got your eyes open and you see stuff, but like what you looking at? Oh, no. No. That was just daydreaming. Fell into a trance. That's what the Most High calls.
So let's go back to Acts chapter 10 now. So he was hungry. He would have fell asleep and fell into a trance. And now he's starting to see stuff while he's just sitting there waiting on the food to be done. Verse 11. Verse 11, Acts 10 and and 11. And saw heaven open, and a certain vessel descending descending unto him, and had been a great sheep knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth. Now go to Sarak, I think it's like 34 34 and uh verse three. The book of Ecclesiasticus or Serat chapter 34 and verse three. The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another even as the likeness of a face to a face. So when Peter's falling into this trance, he's not actually seeing a vessel. He's not actually seeing a sheet knitted in the four corners coming down the earth. He's seeing the resemblance of one thing to another. Go to Hosea now. Hosea chapter 8:8. So he's actually seeing this like all of us has had a dream where we see a lion running and it turns into a butterfly that turns into a a door and then you start falling and the and the then you falling out of the sky, it turns into a a pool or something like that. We don't know what it means. We can't make no sense of that stuff nowadays. So you women that be having dreams and brothers be having dreams, don't be put so much stock into that. Could have came from something you watched on TV and your mind's replaying it back in in in your mind. 12 and 10. 12 and 10. Hosea 12 and 10. So don't put so much stock into that stuff. Your mind never stops working. If it dead, you be dead. Hosea 12 and 10. So let's see what this vessel and these corners and stuff most high is trying to tell us. The book of Hosea 12 and verse 10. I have spoken by the prophets and have multiplied visions and you similitudes by the ministry of the prophets. So he spoken by the prophets and similitudes comparing one thing to another. A certain vessel, a sheep netted at the four corners. So in Acts 10:11 says, "I saw heaven open a certain vessel." What is that vessel? Let's find out what that vessel is a similitude of. Hosea 8:8. The book of Hosea chapter 8 and verse 8. Israel is swallowed up. Now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. They shall be a what? Among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. Well, we read about Cornelius who was a centurion that lived in the land of Rome. The Romans were naturally what? Which were which were Gentiles. Use the words in the Bible, brothers. Yeah. Stay with me. So, Cornelius was a a vessel wherein no pleasure was among the Gentiles. Just like we are today, we are vessels among the Gentiles where there's no pleasure. Unless you playing basketball, unless you play football, unless you can rap, entertain, unless you can entertain, unless you can shuck and jive, unless you can make them some money, they have no pleasure in you as a people. How do we know that? Cuz when they get off the job, they go that way and you go that way. And when you move that way, they go that way. So they ain't got to live around you no more. There is no pleasure in that. So Israel is a vessel swallowed up wherein there is no pleasure.
Let's go back to Acts 10 11 again. Acts 10 and 11. And saw heaven open, and a certain vessel. Who's that vessel, brothers? Israel. Israel. Read on. a certain vessel descending upon unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth. Now, what is that sheet? Is it a is a one of those Egyptian cotton sheets just floating out of the sky? One of them sheets we get from Walmart. Is it a sheet? What sheet is this he referring to? Remember, he's talking to Peter and his similitudes. Does a brother have a precept for what that sheet might be? somebody that wasn't in my group last few weeks ago. No, they don't. All right. So, it says four corners. Corners. Corners. I'm giving you some details now, brothers. It says four corners. Come on now. Here we go. Easy. [Music] Say it on the mic so everybody can hear you. [Music] 31. It's on. You just got to speak up. It was on at first. You just got to speak up. Deuteronomy 28 64. Somebody turn the mic on for him. Have him speak into the mic. Speak into the mic. Ulomy Deuteronomy 28 verse 64. Okay. Deuteronomy chapter 28:64. Let's go there real quick. That's one of them. We can use [Music] that. The book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 and verse 64. Deuteronomy the 28th chapter and the 64th verse. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people for one end of the earth even unto the other. And there thou shalt serve other gods. So, we were scattered into all corners of the earth. Go to Deuteronomy 32:26. Here's a better precept for you, brother. Connect the words in the Bible. The Most High got certain words. That's why when you read those new international versions and the amplified and all of that, they made that stuff so you'll never be able to connect the words. The Most High is the greatest uh rapper to ever live on the on the universe. He got words in there that you can connect together to make sense. He Lil Wayne ain't got nothing on the Most High when it come to metaphors. Nothing. Read that in Deuteronomy 32:26. Deuteronomy 32:26. I said I will scatter them into corners. Into what? Into corners. He would scatter them into corners. Read on. I will make the remembrance of them to to cease from among men. So once you got into those corners, which is not actually four corners, it's talking about all over the earth like we just read in Deuteronomy 28:64, among all nations. He was going to make the remembrance of you to cease from among men to where you would start calling yourself Puerto Rican, Africanamean, black, Jamaican, Haitian. You weren't going to know who you were when you got to those areas. But in these last days, he's bringing the remembrance back to us.
So going back to Acts chapter 10 now. So we know that certain vessel that Peter saw as a resemblance of Israel that they was knit at the four corners which means they were scattered throughout the earth. Israel was scattered throughout the four corners of the earth. That's how he finds himself in Rome. Read on Acts 10 11. and saw heaven open, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheep knit at the four corners, and led down to the earth, wherein were all manner of for-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came unto and there came a voice to him, rise, Peter, kill, and eat. So, the most high is not now telling um Peter that he can eat whatever he want to. He can eat uh for he can eat dogs. He can eat bears. He can eat um um what you call them things? Scorpions and centipedes like them uh Moabites. Them Asians be eating. He ain't telling me that. What is he comparing these beasts to? Let's go to Sarak. Who are these people? Sak chapter 9. Second. Oh, 2. 8 vers 28. Second. Who knows more than 2. 2 Ezra 8 29. 2 Ezras 8 29. The book of 2 Ezra and the Apocrypha chapter 8 and verse 29. Ezra, turn them lights back on. Um, Officer Kamash. 2 Ezras 8 and verse 29. Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts, but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law. Mhm. Verse 30. Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beast, but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness. So why would the Most High compare us to beast when he's referring to Israel? Can a brother expound on that for me? Why would he compare Israelites to that he deems live worse than beast? What is the most high saying? Why is he saying that? Any brother got an example? Uh, brother [Music] UZL. The mic is on. Just turn up mic 3. Channel 3 to Ziah. Turn it up. These brothers got soft voices. Yes. because we was going to and for uh to our religions that's why you compare us to no no um let's see let me try leel before I go to you eld [Music] because uh without laws without u rules on how to govern your body and your nation uh you will basically have no conscience no uh no uh yeah conscience like a beast living in the field okay that's that's a a little bit. Right, Elon? Go ahead. Drop it on us. That was He was warm. Drop it on us, Elon. I was going to say the same thing. We turned away from righteousness, turned away from his laws. Okay. What's the difference between What's the difference between animals and humans? Somebody enlighten me. What's the difference between an animal and a human? Somebody tell me. Uh Joel, uh they follow their instinct. They don't think. There you go. Animals are instinctual. They ain't got no thought process. No, they do what the Most High programmed them to do. So inevitidently they are doing exactly what God told them to do. They in order. But when it comes to negroes and Hispanics, you don't want to do what the Most High say do. You do what you want to do. So God said, you worse than a beast cuz they do what they supposed to do. They fall right in line. You worse than them. I gave you a I gave you thoughts. I give you laws, statutes, and commandments. You don't do what you supposed to do. You worse than a beast cuz they do what they supposed to do. So, it goes into a little bit of what like was saying, you just doing whatever you want to. No thoughts behind it. Going off of instincts, reaction. Somebody say something to you, fire off. You don't even think you're like an animal. You worse than a beast. And when you when you pull a dog's ear, it don't think about if it should bite you. It just bite your ass. That's reaction. Instinct. Instinct. That's how it was made. So when you don't do what you supposed to do, God say you worse than a beast. Brother uh uh Soji, [Music] Ecclesiastes 3:18. There we go. That's another one. Ecclesiastes 3:18. [Music] When you don't got no laws to live by, you have you have kids. What does it say in in second address about the kids? Anybody know what I'm talking about? Give birth to monsters. You got nothing to govern you by. Uh, read that. Ecclesiastes 3. Ecclesiastes chapter 3 and verse 18. Ecclesiastes the 3r chapter in the 18th verse. I said in my heart concerning the state of the sons of men that God might manifest them that they might see they themselves are beasts. You are beast when you don't have the commandments of God in your life. Unclean beast like we read back in Acts 11.
Acts chapter 10 verse 12. The book of Acts chapter 10 and verse 12. Wherein were all manner of for-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, rise, Peter, kill and eat. So is the Most High telling Peter to rise up and start killing unclean animals. You can eat whatever you want to. No, not at all. He's referring to Israel as unclean beasts cuz they wasn't keeping the commandments of God. Let's show that. Uh go to Ezekiel chapter 37. Ezekiel 37 cuz the Most High said we going we going to hold your fingers in Ezekiel 2 cuz we going to be coming back to that back and forth. Go ahead. Um real quick, just real quick. Um when it says when the Most High told Peter, he said, "Arise, Peter, kill and eat." What the Most High is telling him is get this word. Get this understanding. I'mma prove that real quick. Let's go to um I'm sorry, but let's go to um Jeremiah chapter 10 verse 16 real quick concerning what the Most High was telling Peter. Rise killer. Why? I'm sorry. Rise Peter, kill and eat. Meaning get this understanding. So read that officer. Well, you want verse 10. Uh Jeremiah 15:E 16. [Music] The book of Jeremiah chapter 15 and verse 16. Mhm. Thy words were found. Thy words were found. These law, statutes, and commandments. Read. And I did eat them. And I what? And I did eat them. He most high told Peter said, "Kill and eat." Read on. And thy word was unto me. And thy word was unto me. Right? The words of the most high was understanding unto Jeremiah. Likewise, right here back with Peter when he told him that. Read on. and unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by thy name, oh Lord, God of hosts. Right? So what we going to find out and understand and realize that Peter was given the understanding that the northern kingdom could come back to the fold of all Israel. We'd be 12 tribes once again. Exactly. So that was the rejoicing of his understanding after that. You can go ahead.
All right. So, uh, let's go to Ezekiel 36 to show that, uh, the Most High was going to cleanse them from all of that filthiness that they was in. Ezekiel 36 and verse 25 because they was in the midst of sin. The book of Ezekiel chapter 36 and verse 25. Ezekiel the 36th chapter and the 25th verse. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you. That's what made us like beasts. That what made us unclean especially the northern clean kingdom. They were in the midst of idolatry serving idols, worshiping idols. So let's go back to Acts chapter 10 real quick. So as we said, the Most High is not talking about Peter. You can eat whatever you want to. He is is comparing Israel to unclean beasts, to unclean vessels, to uh sheep that's knitted at the four corners that was scattered throughout all the earth and ain't got nothing to do with food at all. Read on. Acts 10 and:e 13. And there came a voice to him, rise Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is coming or unclean. Mhm. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, what God has cleansed that call thou call not thou coming. Read on. This was done thrice, and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Now, how many men was sent from Cornelius's house to Peter Mcabe? Three people. The Most High did that three times for a reason. The Most High does what? What do we read in Hosea 12:10? He shows the prophets similitudes. He has spoken by the prophets by similitudes. So he showed them that three times. Let's go to and see what he's talking about. This call thou not the uncommon. What God hath cleansed that call not thou common. Ezekiel chapter 37 again. Now what we going to find out is that what we read in in Acts chapter 10 is the fulfilling the first part of the fulfilling of Ezekiel chapter 37 coming to pass. The most high got different levels of of his word. It is like it says in Jobap 11 is we pray that the most high pour wisdom upon us and showed us that is double unto that which is known. So Ezekiel chapter 37 and let's read verse verse [Music] 20 the book of Ezekiel chapter 37 and verse 23 Ezekiel the 37th chapter and the 23rd verse start at verse 21 verse 21 Ezekiel 37 21 and say unto them thus sayith the Lord God behold I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whether they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. Verse 23. Verse 23. Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their trans transgressions, but I will save them out all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And going to do what? And will cleanse them. Uh-huh. So, so shall they be my people and I will be their God. So, what we read in Acts 10, like I said, is the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 coming to pass at this time. Cornelius is being cleansed. Those three men that came from Cornelius are being cleansed. How? By the word of God. Cuz when we read it in the beginning, it says they were devout men according to the laws of God. So they've been cleansed from their idolatry, their idols that they was worshiping that they have learned from their forefathers. Like Tobit says that my fathers fell from the house of Israel serving idols.
So let's go back to Acts chapter 10. Read verse 15 again. Acts 10:1 15. Acts chapter 10 and verse 15. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, what God has cleansed that call not thou coming, for this was done thrice, and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Read verse 17. Verse 17. Now when Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean. So Peter's like, man, I know the Lord didn't just tell me to start eating unclean food. I know that ain't what he's talking about cuz I know in Leviticus 11 it says not to eat 4-footed beast and stuff like that. Let's go. Let's go to that. Let's go to that Leviticus 11. So we can show that the book of Leviticus 11:46. So if Christ came and do away with the commandments, Peter wouldn't have he wouldn't have been like, "No, this ain't right." He would have been like, "I know he's right." Cuz Christ said, "I came to fulfill mean to do away with all the laws so I can eat whatever I want to." That wasn't his thought at all. He's like, I know. No, something's up. I got to put this thing together cuz I ain't about to eat no bear. Exactly. I ain't about to eat no horse butt. No, I ain't doing that. Know the Lord's trying to speak to me. Uh, Leviticus 11. Uh, where does it start at? Verse 27. Leviticus 11 27. And whatsoever goeth upon his paws among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you. That's what Peter had in his mind like I know that what he's talking about cuz the law said I ain't supposed to be eating that type stuff. Sidebar for you people that keep eating that Chinese food from Fuong, you better watch out. They ain't got the law, statues, and commandments of God. They'll eat whatever they can throw some seasoning on. and sell it to you. You better. You think it's You think that's chicken, dog? That's chopped up mice. That's mice nuggets. That's chopped up dog. Y'all better watch out with that stuff cuz they don't have these commandments. They not governed by God. Matter of fact, let me get that. I was reading that in Isaiah the street. Read that in Isaiah 63. The book of Isaiah chapter 63:18. Isaiah the 63rd chapter and the 18th verse. The people of thy holiness have possessed it. But a little while our adversaries have trotten down thy sanctuary. What is Isaiah talking about? We possessed it for a little while. Meaning rulership over the earth. We've only ruled over the earth 80 years during the time of David and Solomon. We've only possessed rulership for a little while cuz why? They won't follow the other nations. Read on. Verse 19. We are thine. Thou never be rule over them. We are what? We are thine. Uhhuh. Thou never be rule over them. Read on. They were not called by thy name. God has never deemed these other people in this other nations his people. They were never his from the beginning. Even when he created them, he only created them to be servants to his people. So with that being said, they don't have the same laws you got. They will eat 4-footed beast. They eat cats. They will eat dogs. They will eat horse. They eat all of that stuff. You still eat what you want to long as it's lawful. But you better think twice. Think twice when you're eating that stuff.
So we know that going back to Acts 10, according to the law, we know Peter, he kept the commandments. He walked with Christ. So, he know God's not trying to tell him to start eating all that other stuff. He ain't supposed to eat 4-footed beasts, lions, and all that type stuff. So, let's go back to Actsap 11. He doubted verse 17. Acts 10:1 17, the book of Acts 10:1 17. We back in Acts the 10th chapter in the 17th verse. Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry of Simon's house and stood before the gate and called and asked whether Simon which was surnamed Peter were lodged there. Now jump over to verse we going to get straight to the point now. Um get to verse 28. Verse 28. And he said unto them, "Ye know how that it is an unlawful." Let's start up. Let's start up a little bit. Um verse 25. Verse 25. And as Peter was coming in to catch you up to speed. So Peter went with the three men that come to to inquire of him. They want you to come back. So Peter went with him. Read on. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But Peter took him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself also am a man." And as he taught with him, he went in and found many that will come together. And he said unto them, "Ye know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation." Come into one of another nation. So why would Peter say to come in one of another nation? Go to Hosea again. Hosea 4:17. Another nation. Matter of fact, let's read Hosea chapter 1 first. Hosea chapter 1 verse 6. The book of Hosea chapter 1 and verse 6. Hosea the first chapter and the sixth verse. And she conceived again and bear a daughter. And God said unto him, "Call her name Leero Hama, for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, but I will utterly take them away." Uh-huh. "But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God." So the Most High is making a distinction between the nation of Israel. The house of Israel is what we know as the northern kingdom. Judah is known as Judah, Benjamin, Levi, the southern kingdom. Read on. and would not save them by the bow, nor by the sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. Verse eight, now when she had weaned loan, Laru Hama laru, she conceived and bare son, and then said, God, call his name Leami, for ye are not my people, and I will I will not be your God. So if you was considered not God's people, and he wasn't your God, you would be known as what? What did we just read? Go back to Acts chapter 10. Now, use the words in the Bible, y'all. Acts 10 and verse 28. And he said unto them, "Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man, that is a Jew, to keep company or come unto one of another nation." So, if God wasn't your God, you was considered a what? Another nation. Go to Hosea 4:17. Now, why would he not have any fellowship with somebody from the northern kingdom? Hosea 4:17. The book of Hosea chapter 4:1 17. Hosea the 4th chapter in the 17th verse. Ephraim is joined to idols. Ephraim was the head of the northern king tribe. He's talking about all 10 tribes of the northern kingdom. Read on. Let him alone. Let Ephraim alone for he was joined unto idols. So if he was let alone and we had no dealings with the northern kingdom, he was considered another nation. Still God's people, but he wasn't dealing with them cuz they was in the midst of what? Idolatry. And is it any sacrifice that you can bring for an uh for idolatry? What was the judgment for that? Death. So instead of killing his own people, what did God do? He cast them out. Go to second Kings 17. Instead of killing his people, he cast them out. He's uh 2 Kings 17 verse 6. We going to jump. We ain't going to read all this stuff. The book of 17 book I'm sorry, the book of 2 Kings chapter 17 and verse 6. 2 Kings the 17th chapter and the 6th verse. In the ninth year of Hosel, the king of Assyria took Samaria. The hold on in the ninth year of who? King in the ninth year of Hosea the king of Assyria. So we read we reading out of the book of Hosea. Read on took Samaria and carried Israel away into Assyria and placed them in her lung. So now we know who that woman in John chapter 4 was who lived in Samaria. She was of what? An Israelite that lived in the land of Samaria. That's who lived there. It wasn't some white people, some other nation type people that God of Christ came and gave repentance to all nations. No, she was of Israel that lived in Samaria. Read on. And of Habor by the river of Goen and in the cities of the Mes. For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord that God which had brought them out of the land of Egypt. Jump down to verse 12. Verse 12. For they serve idols, whereof they where of the Lord has said unto them, "Ye shall not do this thing." Well, that would make sense. We just read in Hosea 4:17, "Leave Ephraim alone. They are joined unto idols." Read on verse 13. Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah. How'd he testify? He sent the prophets. Return from your sin. Hosea's the whole book is is telling Ephraim, "Stop doing your idolatry. This is what's going to happen to you. Jeremiah, go and prophesying to the north. Tell them to stop uh serving idols. I'm going to send the Assyrians after them and tell Judah if they better stop too because Babylon's coming. Nebuchadnezzar's coming. Did we listen? No. Thus, we are here today. Read on. Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets. Well, that's the answer right there. and by all the sears, saying, "Turn me from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law, which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants, the prophets." Jump up to 15. Verse 15. And they rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and his testimonies which he testified against them. And they followed vanity and became vain and went after the heathen that were round about them concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should not do like them. Verse 18. Verse 18. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only. So instead of killing his chosen people, he said, "Get up out the land. You're gone. I'm not dealing with you no more. Get up out the land. You ain't my people no more. I done testified. I done sent the prophets for you for hundreds of years. You don't want to listen? Go jump." Verse 20. Verse 20. And And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of the spoilers until he had cast them out of his sight. for he rents for he rent Israel from the house of David and they ma and and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebach king. So you just now read about how the kingdom split into two. That's how you get in the New Testament Jews and Gentiles. Southern kingdom and northern kingdom. That's how you get Cornelius living in Rome. He was cast out way back when.
So, let's go back to Acts again. So, it says, "And he said unto them, ye know how," matter of fact, you go to Ezekiel 37. I'm going to read this. And he said unto them, "Ye know how that it is unlawful a thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation." Well, we just read why they served idols. God cast them out. Ephraim's joined to idols. Let him alone. But was it really another nation? Was it another nation? Gentile. true gentile or was it just a Israelite being called Gentile? Ezekiel 37 21 and 22. the book of Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 37 verse 20 say 21 37 verse 21 and they say unto him thus sayith the Lord God behold I will take the children of Israel from from among the heathen, whether they be
gone and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all. And they shall be no more two nations, no more.
What? No more two nations. Read on. Neither, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all. That's what we read in Acts 10:28. That's why Peter said, you know, it's unlawful for me to come of one of another nation, 'cause God cast y'all out. We ain't supposed to be dealing with y'all. Y'all was serving idols. But let's read on what Peter said right after that. Verse 28.
But verse 28, but God. Read that part. Okay. Yeah. But God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. I should not call any man common or unclean. Why? Because the prophecy says in Ezekiel 37:23, he was going to do what, brothers? Go back to it. Ezekiel 37:23. We just read it. Ezekiel 37:23.
"I shall not call any man common or unclean." Read that. Ezekiel 37:23. "Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions, but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So shall they be my people, and I will be their God."
'Cause God was going to cleanse them from their sins. They was going to be forgiven. How? Through who? The blood of who? Christ. That's why when you read Ephesians chapter 2, it says, let's go to it real quick. So, what we doing is killing three or four birds with one stone. We answer in Romans chapter 11. GR Gentiles grafted in. We answer in Ephesians 2. We answer in Galatians 3. All with Acts chapter 10. Read that.
Ephesians chapter 2, verse verse 12. Yeah. Verse 11. Ephesians chapter 2:11. "Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called on circumcision by that which is called circumcision." So the uncircumcision was the northern kingdom, by that which is called the circumcision, which is the southern kingdom. The Jews who still kept the laws, the sacrificial laws of circumcision. Read on.
"And in the flesh made by hands. And in that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel." Why was they aliens? They was cast off. Back in 2 Kings, way back in 722 BC, they was cast off. They was aliens from the commonwealth. What was the commonwealth that made Israel one nation? What did we all have in common? The laws. Read on.
"And strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world." But what we just read in Hosea said, "I'm not your God. You are not my people." Saying the same thing. Read on. Verse 13.
"But now in Christ Jesus, ye whom sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Read on. "For he is our peace, who hath made both one." Made what? Made both one. We just read that in Ezekiel chapter 37. They will no more be two nations. Read on.
"And have broken down the middle wall of partition between us." Uh huh. "Having abolished in the flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in the ordinances, for to make him make in himself of twain one new man." So making peace. What was the law of commandments contained in ordinances? What was that? Sacrifices. What was it? Sacrifices.
Numbers 19 real quick so you can get that. What was contained in the ordinances that separated northern kingdom from southern kingdom? 'Cause remember, it wasn't any, it wasn't a sacrifice that you can give to God for idolatry. He wanted your blood. So Christ came and now he's our peacemaker with the Most High. Numbers 19, uh, verse two. The book of Numbers chapter 19, almost done. And verse two. Numbers, the 19th chapter, chapter, and the second verse.
"This is the ordinance of the law which." This is what this is the ordinance of the law that's what we just read in Ephesians, which the Lord hath commanded, saying, "Speak on. Speak unto the children of Israel, that they may bring thee a red heifer without spot." Google a red heifer real quick. Is R E D um H E I F E R. It said, "Bring us a red heifer." Let's see what that was. Red Hefra. H E R. Space space. Need a space in there. H E I. There you go. F E R. There you go. Let's see what that is. Click on images. There we go. You clicked on it. There we go. Bam.
God said, "Bring me one of those." What did we do with that? Did we keep it for a pet? What did we do with it? Sacrificed it. So when we read in Ephesians that he abolished the law contained in ordinances, it was the law of animal sacrifice that Christ done away with. So that the northern kingdom, who was worshiping idols, could do what? Amen. Repent. Could do what? Repent.
Y'all brothers are like the walking dead. Are y'all on the same page with me? Is this going way over your head? Well, say something then. Can't feel I'm talking to myself up here. So he abolished the law of animal sacrifice so the northern kingdom can do what? Repent. Repent. So that Ephesians chapter 2 ain't talking about all nations either. Ain't talking about that. It's talking about the Israelites who had to sacrifice to be right with God.
So let's go back to Acts 10. We're almost done here. Um, let's see where we going to start at. Uh, let's go to 10:34. The book of Acts chapter 10 and verse 34. Acts, the 10th chapter, and the 34th verse.
"Then Peter opened his mouth and said, 'Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons.'" Oh, there you go. Christianity says, "See, he's not a respecter of persons." We had an Edomite one time when we was in Rosemont come up and quote this right off top. God's not a respecter of persons. What does that mean? God's not a respecter of persons when it comes to who? Does it mean all nations? Does that mean that if, um, if, uh, if Tziah sins and then Esau commits the same sin, does that mean that God's going to judge them both the same? No. So, who's he respect a person of? MueL Mike. Y'all sleep. I know we doing a lot of reading, y'all. I know y'all don't read this much, but we got to read. Got to do some power reading.
Um, of Israel. Of Israel. What's the precept for that? Exodus 2:25. Exodus 2:25. Let's go to it. Book of Exodus chapter 2 and verse 25. Boy, good. Exodus, the 2nd chapter, and the 25th verse. That's the last verse in chapter 2.
"And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. And God had respect unto the children of Israel." So amongst the children of Israel, God is no respecter of person. If you want to repent, God said, "Come on in." He's no respecter of person when it comes to repentance and doing what he says do. You commit adultery, I commit adultery, we get the same judgment. Most High is going to jack both of us up. He going to write all of that down in the book. He ain't going to look at me and say, "No, I like him a little bit better. I ain't going to write that in the book." He going to write it down in the book. He may judge us differently for it, but he's going to write it down in the book. So, God's no respecter of person. Elo, where's the other one at that you gave me last time? Um, Sarak 46:14. All right, let's go to it. Sarak 46, Ecclesiasticus 46:14, the book of Sarah, chapter 46 and verse 14. That's it. Verse 14. Yes.
Sarah, the 46th chapter, and the 14th verse. "By the law of the Lord, he judges the congregation. And the Lord had respect unto Jacob." The Lord had respect unto Jacob, who's the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. Go over the wisdom of Solomon chapter 4, verse, let's see. [Music] 4:15. What I want? Oh yeah. Wisdom Solomon 4:15. There we go. Wisdom of Solomon chapter 4 and verse 15. Wisdom of Solomon, the fourth chapter, and the 15th verse. And let him get it. Hold on. Let him get it. Wisdom of Solomon 4:15. Go ahead. [Music]
"This the people saw and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, that his grace and mercy is with the saints, and that he had respect unto his chosen." That he has respect unto his church. That's two, three precepts you got for respect of a person. So no more should you be fooled with that. Whenever a Christian comes up with that, you got precepts to lay on. Bam, bam, bam, bam. If they don't understand after that, they believe in white man Jesus, white man religion. All right.
So, let's go back to Acts 10:34 again. The book of Acts chapter 10 and verse 34. We back in Acts, the 10th chapter, in the 34th verse.
"Then Peter opened his mouth and said, 'Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons amongst the Israelites.' But in every nation he that fearth him and workketh righteousness is accepted with him." Read on. "The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, he is Lord of all." Even if you, you don't even need all them precepts. If you just read down to verse 36, it tell you who he's talking about in 34:35. He's talking about the children of Israel.
So we, we, we about done right here. Last part right here. So we, we prove that he ain't talking about food. Cornelius ain't of another nation. What about being baptized in the Holy Ghost and all that? Jump over to verse 43. We jumping down to verse 40. Chap, chapter, verse 43. Verse 43.
"To him give all the prophets witness, and through his name, whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." What's the precept for whosoever, brothers? Acts 22. Joel, what is it? Acts 2:21. Acts chapter 2, 21 and 22. And there's another one. There's one more. Brother, hold on. Let me Nimshi. What is it? What's the other precept? Hold on. Wait for the mic. I want to see if you got it. It's another precept for whosoever. 'Cause we use Acts 2 all the time. Now, that, that, that precept ain't going to jump out the page to you, brother. If you don't know it, you don't know it. No, I thought it was in, um, Isaiah 45. No, no, no. I said it was in Acts. Take that mic from me, man. Give the brother Shia. Let's see what he got. It's another one in the book of Acts. Is it Acts 13:26? Ah, there we go. Cooking with grease. Let's go to it.
Acts chapter 13. We're going to start at 30. Uh, 23. We going to jump just to see who he's talking about. Acts chapter 23. 13. Acts chapter 13 and verse 23. Acts, the 13th chapter, and the 23rd verse.
"Of this man's seed." This man's seed is David. When you read in verse 22, read on. "Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a savior Jesus." So Christ only came to save the nation of Israel, not all people. This is after he died. This is in the book of Acts. Read on.
"When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel." So repentance was only preached to Israel. It wasn't preached to all nations. Wasn't preached to the Canaanites that was still roaming around in the land. Wasn't preached to the Greeks that was still roaming there from the Greek captivity. Wasn't preached to them. He went to a certain people. So when we up there prophesying, we ain't worried about [ __ ] We ain't worried about answering no questions from no Asians. We are sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. That's it. Read on verse 25.
"And as John fulfilled his course, he said, 'Whom think ye that I am? And I am not he? But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.' Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, whosoever among you fearth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent." Boom. Cut.
So, let's go back to Acts. That whosoever is of the house of Israel. You got two precepts. Acts 13 and Acts chapter 2. Not talking about all nations. There's another one. What's another one? No. Oh, well, yeah, I know. We sticking in the news. You know, they don't believe in the Old Testament. Everything changed after Christ and out there in religion. Remember, you got to be able to cut them in the New Testament. All right.
Let's go to Acts 10 and read verse, uh, we read verse 43:44. Acts 10 and verse 44.
"While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them all." I'm sorry. "The Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word." Hold on, stop right there. How in out there in the world, they teach that in order to receive the Holy Ghost, you got to do what, brothers? Who is in Christianity here? Raise your hand. Everybody in here should have their hand up. Okay, some, I know some of you. Okay, so, uh, brother in the blue shirt. Yeah, you. No, behind you. Behind you. How do they teach that you got to receive the Holy Ghost out there in organized religion? How do you receive the Holy Ghost? You got to do what? Speak in tongues. That's what you get after you receive the Holy Ghost. But how do they say you got to receive it? You got to do what first? Anybody else? Brother in the front right here. Give him the mic. You got to get baptized. You got to be baptized. Dumped in the water. Right. Then you come out, you going to be, you be baptized. Right?
So let's read that in verse 44. Verse 44. "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word." Read on. "And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, and as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost." Read on. "For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God." Then answer Peter, "Can any man forbid water?"
Hold on, time out. What just happened here? Was they had they been baptized yet by Peter? No. But they received the Holy Ghost and started speaking in tongues, different languages. So, do you have to be dipped in water and come up like religion says in order to be filled with the Holy Ghost, brothers? No. No. Not at all. You got to be filled with the what? What was Peter speaking to him? The word. The word. The [Music] word.
