Joel 169: His Head Caught In The Thorns! Jesus Christ Is The Crown of Life!

We start today with information on the Ukraine invasion and what it means in an End Times framework. It looks as though the hook that brings the kingdoms of the north to Israel is shaping up to be oil.

We move straight into Genesis 15 and getting into the continuing string of the Lie of Satan that goes through the entire of Scripture and finding where it is present in our passage. Satan is the first being to postulate Super Determinism. That is the first lie. This goes against Luke 15:10 where the Angels rejoice and celebrate when one comes to the Savior. Luke 4 and Matthew 4 come into play. They go with Job 1 and 2. There, the faithful Angels come at the end of the testing of Christ by Satan, and they come down ministering to Jesus. Ministering is believing Him.

In Genesis 15, God responds to Abram prayer. Ask God what He wants and you’ll be just fine. God’s answer to “How can I know I will have everlasting Life?” is “Take Me”! God is telling him how he can know. The discussion that follows is something you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else. What is it that God gives to Abram? Go to Galatians 3. The Law And Grace people will never read this. Our pastor has given up trying to fight with them. They are blind to this truth and absolutely refuse to see what is written there. Now we look at the stunning passage which is Genesis 22:15-19... It’s the same as Galatians 3. The ram, that is caught in the thicket of thorns by his head, is The Take Me! The Seed in 22:18, is the Seed in Genesis 3:15. And Genesis 22:14 says, God will provide Himself. Your Bible is authored by the Infinite God.

Now, get out your notepad, open your TextBook, and press play.
