Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins].” NKJV (New King James Version)
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV

Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.

Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
The Doctrine of Warfare. Part 1. Legitimate War.
The Mosaic Law was the divine standard that God used to demonstrate the sinfulness of the human race as well as his principles of establishment.
The Mosaic Law is divided into three parts which all have a different meaning for the individuals it was given to – the Law is divided into three general categories —- Theologically = Codex #1; Codex #2; Codex #3.
Codex I is the Ten commandments, or the Decalogue also known as the freedom code; the Decalogue or Ten Commandments. 2. Codex II – Spiritual Code; which includes the complete shadow presentation of Christ and His saving work. 3. Codex III – Establishment Code; civil statues of Israel.
The first five commandments declare the principle of spirituality or the possibility of establishing a relationship with God; the last five apply to man’s relationship toward his fellow man.
1. We had the concept of Privacy and Private Property.
2. There is the importance of the concept of Right Man and Right Woman. Divine Institutions #2 and #3, Marriage and Family, are protected by the principles in the Decalogue.
The pattern of the right man for the right woman was established at the creation of man, Gen 2:21-25.
Adam didn’t have a father and a mother, neither did his wife. So why put father and mother in? Because this passage establishes precedent.
Under the first mention principle, when you establish a first doctrinal principle called a precedent, it is to show that this is a firm established principle from the beginning of time to the end of human history.
Gen 2:24 For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother is because one of the greatest dangers to marriage is interference from parents.
Marital problems are no one else’s business except those involved in the marriage.
The Hebrew word for naked `arowm (aw-rome’); meaning that they were totally transparent with one another, no secrets but just intimacy.
Prov 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord.
Ecc 9:9 Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life, and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
1Co 7:17 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And thus I direct in all the churches.
Sometimes this interference comes from family members, sometimes it comes from friends or people who have no right to stick their nose into the marital affairs of others.
1. Your Freedom
2. Your choice in the opposite Sex
3. Your responsibility as a parent.
What does the Bible say about WAR!
In spite of man’s efforts for peace throughout the ages, warfare will exist until the Millennium (1,000 literal years), Matt 24:4-7.
Isa 2:4 Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.
Just as TLJC made perfect peace with God at His First Advent, so He will provide the basis for no more war at his Second Advent.
War is used by God to kill off the leaches of society; in reality it is a cleansing agent.
Ecc 3:8 “There is a time for war, and there is a time for peace.”
There is a book of wars that comes directly from the Lord. Num 21:14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord, what He did in the Red Sea, and in the brooks of Arnon.
The misnomer OR MISUNDERSTANDING of war is found in the word “sword” in Matt 26:52, “for all who draw the sword shall perish by the sword.”
Here, the sword in this passage refers to crime and capital punishment.
TLJC rebuked him and said that all those who draw the sword as a criminal in civil disobedience shall perish by the sword as a criminal of civil disobedience.
The sword also refers to capital punishment in Rom 13:4 for it (government) is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil.
Gen 9:6 = the first statement of capital punishment.
There is a difference between the sword as a criminal and the honor of fighting for your country as a military soldier.
Divine institution #4 = Nationalism = that is what our present administration seems to believe and that is that a strong military PREVENTS WAR and PROTECTS divine establishment.
All freedom comes ONE WAY = through military victory.
1. The spiritual factor of Bible doctrine in the soul, prayer, and the grace of God. Neh 4:8-9.
2 The second factor that protects a nation is military preparedness, Neh 4:8-9, 13 15.
3. The spiritually mature believer. 2. Military preparedness. Prin- Freedom, prosperity, and life are sacred under the laws of divine establishment and must be fought for in order to be protected.
Failure of society; Lack of physical and mental training; No respect for authority; Lack of courage; No self-discipline; And the trading of security for freedom.
Failure to fight for freedom means slavery.
Social degeneration is always characterized by disdain of the military and police.
One military leader (Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus) said; “Victory depends on training, not numbers.”
Heb 11:34 They quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
Under the laws of divine establishment, all national freedom and security comes through military victory.
The book of Jeremiah teaches that Jewish military failure in 586 B.C. was attributed to the spiritual and moral decline of the people.
First of all, the Lord fought for Israel at the Red Sea, Exo 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.”
As God, the Lord cannot sin; HAB 1:13, therefore, we must conclude that if the Lord fought, then WAR is not sinful.
The Hebrew phrase Adonai sabaoth MEANS “the Lord of the armies,” is the title for our Lord Jesus Christ as the Protector of Israel.
This is His title as Commander and Chief of the angelic army, Jos 5:13-6:2; Zec 14:3-4.
The concept of Christ as a warrior will continue until the Armageddon campaign, Zec 1 4.
It is the Lord Who will fight those great nations at that time.
The Lord Jesus Christ also delivered Israel and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in 701 B.C.; Isa 37:36.
At Armageddon in Rev 19:11-15, He will break his own record.
Just war is always righteous!
