Galatians 3 - Skip Heitzig 

Amen, Brother!

John 7:37-39( River of Living water) " 37 One the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus(😊1st❤) stood up and cried out, " If anyone( means anyone) thirst, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture(😊❤) has said, ' Out of his heart(❤) will flow rivers of living water(😊❤).' " 39 Now this he said about the Spirit( Holy Spirit😊❤), whom those who believed in him(Jesus😊1st❤) were to receive(😊❤), ( you might ask why?) for( "for" could means because) as yet the Spirit( Holy Spirit😊❤) had not been given because Jesus(😊1st❤) was not yet glorified."( John 7:37-39 ESV Study Bible. Amen to John 7:37-39😊❤.)

I share ot because God touch me there is need❤ to share it now. That is all. More update version in Christ. Genesis 37:25-36 "25 Then they sat down to eat. Looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from the Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, " What profits is it if we kill our brother and concel his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then Midianite trader passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekel's of silver. They took Joseph😊❤ to Egypt. 29 When Reuben😊 ❤ returned to the pit and saw that Joseph😊❤ was not in the pit, he( Reuben❤ ) torn his clothes. 30 and returned to his brothers and said, " The boy ( Joseph) is gone, and I, where shall I go? " 31 Then they took Joseph's robe and slaughtered a goat( like escapegoat and i now Jesus is the Lamb of God( John 1:29) and dipped the robe in the blood.( Do you also remembering Revelation 19:16 too?) 32 And they sent the robe to many colord and brought it to their father and said, " This we have found; please identify whether it is your son's robe or not." 33 And he( Jacob or Israel❤ ) identified it and said, " It is my son's robe. A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces." 34 Then Jacob(❤ ) tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days. 35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, " No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning." Thus his father wept for him. 36 Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in the Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard."( Genesis 37:25-36 ESV Study Bible. Do you also see beyond the surface of his brothers sold him to some Ishamaelite spice trader or Midianite traders or Ishamelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt ( from Genesis 37:28 b) the Bible said, "28 Then Midianite trader passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekel's of silver. They took Joseph😊❤ to Egypt."( Genesis 37:28 ESV Study Bible) In Egypt the Midianites had sold him in the Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard."( Genesis 37:36b ESV Study Bible.) Despite you see his brothers sold him for twenty Shekels of silver, God (😊100%❤) is still in charge behind the scenes beyond Genesis 37:28 and Genesis 37:36. Genesis 37:28 "28 Then Midianite trader passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekel's of silver. They took Joseph😊❤ to Egypt."( Genesis 37:28 ESV Study Bible) Genesis 37:36 "36Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in the Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard."( Genesis 37:36 ESV Study Bible.) Do you also see that our God is beyond Genesis 37:28 and Genesis 37:36 by looking at Genesis 50:19-20, 20. Genesis 37:19-20 "19 But Joseph said to the them, " Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God(😊100%❤) meant for good😊❤, to bring it about that many people😊❤ should be😊❤ kept alive😊❤, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you(😊❤'s) and your little ones(😊❤'s)." Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly😊❤ to them( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ )." ( Genesis 50:19-21 ESV Study Bible). May God allow his words of my to be shared to all. In Jesus'name, i pray( Revelation 19:16😊❤ and John 14:6😊❤). Amen. Revelation 19:16 "16 On his( Jesus'😊1st❤ our Lord and our King in Christ) robe and on his( Jesus'😊1st❤) thign he( Jesus😊1st❤) has a name written, King(Jesus😊1st❤ )of kings and Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) of lords."( Revelation 19:16 ESV Study Bible) John 14:6❤😊 " 6 Jesus answered, " I am the way ❤😊 and the truth ❤😊 and the life😊❤.

Matthew 25:1-13( The parable of the ten virgins) "25 " Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤) were wise😊❤. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oils with them, 4 but😊❤ the wise😊❤ took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6l But at midnight there was a cry. ' Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, " Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9But 😊❤ the wise (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 5 wise virgin) answered, saying, " Since there will not be enough for us("us" 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) and for you, go rather to the dealer and but for yourselves.' 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ and today us😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ in Christ too) who were ready went in with him to marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ' Lord, lord, open to us.' 12 But😊❤ he 😊❤ answered, ' Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 Watch😊❤ therefore😊❤, for you know neither the day nor the hour."( Matthew 25:1-13 ESV Study Bible)

Genesis 38:1-5 of Genesis 38:1-30(Judah and Tamar) Genesis 38:1-5 "38 It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and turned aside to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her and went in to her, 3 and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. 4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. 5 Yet again she bore a sonn, and she called his name Shelah, Judah was in Chezib when she bore him."( Genesis 38:1-5 ESV Study Bible) My ESV Study Bible said , in Genesis 38:1-2, " A sense forboding is conveyed through Judah's separation from the rest of his family, his friendship with Hirah( Genesis 38:1 " Hirah" a native of the Canaanite city ofo Adullam, about 12 miles[ 19km] southwest of Bethlehem), and his marriage to an unnamed Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua ( from Genesis 38:2, 2a). In Genesis, marriage to Canaanites are never applauded(... Genesis 24:3; Genesis 26:34-35; Genesis 28:1)."( ESV Study Bible) Under the context of Genesis 24:1-67( Isaac and Rebekah) Genesis 24:3 "3 that I( Abraham😊❤ ) may make you swear by the LORD, the God(😊100%❤) of heaven and God (😊100%❤) of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son( "son"= Isaac😊❤) from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,"( Genesis 24:3 ESV Study Bible) Under the context of Genesis 26:6-35( Isaac and Abimelech) Genesis 26:34-35 "34 When Esau was forty old, he took Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite, 35 and they made life bitter for Isaac😊❤ and Rebekah😊❤."( Genesis 26:34-35 ESV Study Bible) Under the context of Genesis 28:1-5( Jacob sent to Laban) Genesis 28:1 "28 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, " You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women."( Genesis 28:1 ESV Study Bible) Luke 1:26-38( Birth of Jesus Fortold) " 26 In the sixth mod to a man whose name was Joseph😊❤, of the house of David😊❤. And the virgin's name was Mary😊❤. 28 And he came to her and said, " Greeting😊❤, O favored one, the Lord 😊❤ is with you! " 29 But she( Mary) was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel( Gabriel😊❤) said to her( Mary😊❤), " Do not😊❤ be afraid, Mary😊❤, for you have found favor 😊❤ with God(😊100%❤). 31 And behold, you willk conceived in your womb and bear a son(Jesus😊1st❤), and you shall call his name Jesus(😊1st❤). 32 He(Jesus😊1st❤) will be great and will be called the Son(Jesus😊1st❤) of the Most High😊❤. And the Lord God😊❤ will give to him(Jesus😊1st❤) the throne of his father David😊❤, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob 😊❤forever❤ and of his( Jesus'😊1st❤) kingdom😊❤ there will be no end😊❤." "( Luke 1:26-33 ESV Study Bible)

Matthew 25:14-30( The parable of the Talents) " 14 " For it will be like a man (😊1st❤) going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talentd more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master(😊1st❤) of those servant came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, " Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.' 21 His master(😊1st❤) said to him, ' Well done, good and faithful servant😊❤ You have been faithful over little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy 😊❤ of your master.' 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ' Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.' 23 His master said to him, " Well done, good and faithful servant😊❤. You have been faithful😊❤ over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy😊❤ of your master.' 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ' Master, I knews you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 But his master answered him, ' You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has tent talents. 29 For to everyone😊❤ who has will more😊❤ be given😊❤, and he will have an abundance😊❤. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In the place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' "( Matthew 24:14-30 ESV Study Bible)

Genesis 38:6-11 "6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and hee name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was a wicked in the sight of the LORD😊❤, and the LORD😊❤ put him to death. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, " Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother- in -law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother." 9 Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whevever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. 10 And what he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter- in- law, " Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up"- for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained in her father's house."( Genesis 38:6-11 ESV Study Bible) From my ESV Study Bible, it said, in Genesis 38:6-7, "Judah is instrumental in arranging Er's marriage to Tamar( Genesis 38:6 "6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and hee name was Tamar."( Genesis 38:6 ESV Study Bible). The reference to Er's( Er was wicked God's sight) death it tantalizingly brief( from Genesis 38:7 "7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was a wicked in the sight of the LORD😊❤, and the LORD😊❤ put him to death."( Genesis 38:7 ESV Study Bible)"( ESV Study Bible) ( Imagine one to two Scriptures describe Er, i am not talking the Television series Er but i am talking wicked Er, "...the LORD ( God ) put him to death."( Genesis 38:7 b ESV Study Bible. Imagine one were known for 2 Scriptures and known for being wicked in the Lord God's sight or the LORD's sight like again what Genesis 38:7 "7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was a wicked in the sight of the LORD😊❤, and the LORD😊❤ put him( Er) to death."( Genesis 38:7 ESV Study Bible ) that is that to my opinion in Christ. My ESV Study Bible also said, "and the precise nature of his( Er) wickeness is not disclosed. No information on Tamar's background is provided, although it is likely that she was a Canaanite."( ESV Study Bible) Do you remember Abraham😊❤ and Isaac😊❤ or what the Bible said taking a Canaanite woman as a wife? ( answer is Genesis 24:3; Genesis 26:34-35; Genesis 28:1 last time shared already so today hope you read your own Bible in Christ to refresh yourself on this.) In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthee 22:24-25; Luke 20:28 after sharing the following in Christ relate to Genesis 38:8) Amen. My on hand ESV Study Bible said, In Genesis 38:8 " Judah instruct his second son Onan to fufill the custum of "levirate marriage," which required a brother to marry his( decrease) brother's childless widow and give her children. Brief details about his obligation are given in Deuteronomy 25:5-10( listen and read your own Bible in Christ assueme you did) it plays a important role in the book of Ruth( Ruth 1:11-13😊❤ ; Ruth 4:1-12😊❤; see also Matthew😊❤ 22:24-25😊❤; Luke 20:28😊❤ ( will share after this...). Judah is eager that Tamar should have a son to continue the firstborn line of Er. ( just make learning more interesting that word " Er" is not Emergency room that it might stand for today but Er was Er was Judah' s firstborn). Since Genesis has a particular interest in the "firstborn," this concern is noteworthy. The motif of the firstborn also figures prominently in the birth account at the end of the chapter."( ESV Study Bible except some parenthesis parts that i was hoping to make learning of God's words more fun in Christ). Today i study this Genesis 38:6-11more in details in Christ. " In Genesis 38:9, "( But) Onan( 2nd son of Judah) knew that the offspring would not be his. ..."(from Genesis 38:9a ESV Study Bible) So from Genesis 38:9a " While publicly Onan appear to fulfill his father( Judah)'s request, in private he( Onan) refuses to father a child on behalf of Er.( the Bible said"... He would waste the semen( sperm) on the ground."(from Genesis 38:9 middle of the verse). Onan engages in coitus interruptus, not self- gratification- as some early rabbi mistakenly thought. A detailed explanation for his( wicked) action is not given, but selfishless is most likely explanation: he( Onan) probably feards that a son born to Tamar would be previlege over all other sons born to him, reducing the importance of his own family line and reducing his share of Judah❤'s inheritance. ( Although the circumstances are different, Ruth 4:5-6( under the context of Ruth 4:1-12( Boaz😊❤ redeems Ruth😊❤) provide another example of a man ( Boaz was not Ruth 's first redeemer but Boaz :) was righteous and got permission from that redeemer who)refusing to undertake the duty of levirate marriage.)"( ESV Study Bible . Boaz on the other hand did right in God's sight asked for the first redeemer who refused to redeem Ruth and got permission to Ruth 😊❤ from the Bible ( please read Ruth 4:1-12 under the context of Ruth 4:1-12( Boaz😊❤ redeems Ruth😊❤) Now share Ruth 4:5-6 " Then Boaz😊❤( " Boaz" was a righteous😊❤ man of God😊100%❤ the Bible said) said, " The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomai😊❤, you also aquire Ruth😊❤ the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the namd of the dead in his inheritance." 6 Then the redeemer said, " I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I repair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption(soeaking of " redemption " reminds me Ephesians 1:7 in Nt :) share later in Christ😊❤ ) yourself , for i cannot redeem it."(Ruth 4:5-6 ESV Study Bible) Ephesians 1:7 ( finally 😊❤ in Christ about redeemption by Jesus😊1st❤'s blood from Ephesian 1:7a ) Ephesians 1:7 "7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his ( Jesus' blood😊❤ ) blood😊❤, the forgiveness😊❤ of our transpasses, accoring to the riches😊❤ of his( Jesus' 😊1st❤ ) grace😊❤, "( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Study Bible this will my wrap up Scripture later in Christ:) ) Again in Genesis 38:10 " Onan's hypocritical behavior cause God😊100%❤ to punish him( Onan) by death( from Genesis 38:10b ) "10 And what he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death also."( Genesis 38:10 ESV Study Bible). Let us finish Genesis 38:11 too , my ESV Study Bible said, " In Genesis 38:11, "Following the death of his( Judah's) two eldest sons( 1st son Er( Genesis 38:7b and 2nd son Onan( Genesis 38:10b), Judah protects his remaining son, " Shelah"( from Genesis 38:11 middle of the Scripture), by sending Tamar back to her own family( her father) as if she was dangerous, while it was actually the evil of the two sons( Er ( Genesis 38:7a) and Onan( Genesis 38:10a) that brought about their deaths."( ESV Study Bible) I also remember two persons ( like Er and Onan) like that from the past. Hope Judah know that it was his two sons' evil bought about their deaths. Good thing we have Jesus😊1st❤ from Ephesians 1:7(😊❤). Ephesians 1:7 "7 In him(Jesus😊1st❤) we have redeemption through his ( Jesus' blood😊❤ ) blood😊❤, the forgiveness😊❤ of our transpasses, accoring to the riches😊❤ of his( Jesus' 😊1st❤ ) grace😊❤, "( Ephesians 1:7 ESV Study Bible
