Pastor Matt, Thank you so much for the miniseries. I enjoyed your brief presentation about Jonathan Edwards conversion. I have been listening to many of your online messages as well as the late R.C. Sproul and John Macarthur. I never thought this would happen- I'm becoming Reformed in my theological understanding of scripture. I accept the doctrine of election because it's all throughout the Bible. Also, after being raised in an Armenian church, I'm finally convinced of the eternal security of the believer. For years I've tried to maintain my salvation by my own works. I failed miserably! Now I hunger for God's holiness more than anything. Thank you for your wonderful teaching of God's inspired Word. You have helped me more than words can express. Blessings to you!!!
I think it appropriate that every time we remember a slave owner we also remember the human beings they owned. In Jonathan Edwards' case: Venus, Leah, Rose, Joseph, Sue, Joab, and possibly others whose names we don't know.
Pastor Matt, I don’t consider myself a super educated individual but I purchased the works of Jonathan Edwards (two volume set, Banner of Truth, super small print ). Ever since, I read about him in High School, I was drawn to him or found him very interesting. This may be a dumb question but how should your average Joe read his works? Just start on page one? Is there a reading plan somewhere? Thanks
Do you have a verse personally? If so, can you share. I would love it if you continued with this series beyond the 4. PS I have purchased at least 2 new Bibles from your Bible reviews and they're both as wonderful as you said!
I saw a brief video of R.C. Sproul telling what verse brought him to being born again. As I remember, he said he was in college, about to go out for the evening to have a good time. He stopped by the dorm vending machine to get something on the way out. Another student was sitting there, reading the Bible, and unbidden the guy said to R.C. to listen to this part of a verse: "…whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie." (Ecclesiastes 11:3) That convicted R.C. He thought (I'm paraphrasing) – "That tree…is ME!"
Isaiah 52:15 so shall he startle many nations kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand. Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that make an atonement for the soul.
We couldn't see the extent of "IT IS FINISHED" the earth quaked the rock split at the foot of the Cross, Yeshua's blood was released by the Roman soldier who pierced his side. While Six hundred years earlier The Ark of the Covenant was moved.. Solomon prepared for its hiding and Jeremiah moved it precisely under the cross yet future! GOLGOTHA.
THE WITNESS OF THE BLOOD IN THE STARS.. REVELATION 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua.
The Rabbi's keep the tablets of stone and His blood (testimony) found on the mercy seat!
I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourn for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
ENMITY exists now the solution is the Fathers witness!
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believe on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believe not God hath made him a liar; because he believe not the record that God gave of his Son.
For it is by His grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of Elohim. (when opened). 9. Not of works, or else anyone glory (in themselves). 10. For we are His creation who are created in Y'shua the Mashiyach for good works which Elohim has before prepared for us to walk in. 11. Wherefore be mindful that you formerly were carnal Gentiles; and you were called the uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision of which is the work of the hands in the flesh. 12. And you were, at that time, without the Mashiyach; and were aliens from the Devarim of Israel; and strangers to the covenant of the promise; and were without hope and without Elohim in the world. 13. But now, by Y'shua the Mashiyach, you who before were afar off, have been brought near by the Blood of the Mashiyach. 14. He is Himself our peace, who has made the two (become) ONE <– NO ONE TEACHES THIS !! and has demolished the Wall which stood in the midst, and the Enmity, by his flesh. 15. And in his flesh (the) enmity and regulations of commands (contained) in his commandments are ABOLISHED that in himself he might make the two into ONE, establishing peace. 16. And has reconciled BOTH with Elohim in one body and has slain the enmity by his stake(of execution). Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33 but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
THE VEIL. Second Corinthians 3:6-18 Who has fitted us to be ministers of the renewed covenant, not in the letter, but in the spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7. Now if the ministration of death was engraved upon stones in writing, and was so glorious that the children of Israel could not look at the face of Moshe on account of the glory upon his face which vanished away; 8. How then will not the ministration of the Spirit be still be more glorious? 9. For if there was glory in the ministration of condemnation, how much more will the ministration of righteousness excel in glory? 10. For that which was glorious was as if not glorious in comparison with this which excels in glory. 11.For if that (condemnation) WHICH IS ABOLISHED was glorious, much more must, that which abides be glorious! 12. Seeing therefore we have THIS HOPE, we the more speak with boldness 13. And are not like Moshe, who threw the veil over his face that the children of Israel might not behold the termination of that (condemnation)which was ABOLISHED! 14. But they were blinded in their understanding because until this day, when the ancient Covenant is read, the same veil rests upon them; NOR IS IT MANIFEST (to them), that it (condemnation) is ABOLISHED by the Mashiyach. 15. And to this day, when Moshe is read, a veil is thrown upon their hearts. 16. But when any of them is turned to master YHWH, is the veil taken from him. 17. Now Master YHWH Himself is the Spirit. And where the Spirit of Master YHWH is, there is freedom. 18. And we all, with uncovered faces, behold as in a mirror the glory of Master YHWH ; and are transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by Master YHWH the SPIRIT!
Scripture reference regarding the Ark hiding! 2 Maccabees 2
I did meet with the archeologist Vendyl Jones in 1983. His person was modeled in the Harrison Ford character. (endy) He at that time believed he had found Zadok's tomb. He was given use of the copper scroll, which was a textual map and located many hidden temple treasures. According to Vendyl the Israelis wouldn't let him go after the Ark as he believed it's location was at Golgotha, Ron Wyatt confirmed his belief.

This is an awesome video Pastor Matt, great job!
Very good! I'm excited for this miniseries

Good series….!
Hello Pastor Matt… Firstly love all your videos and this is awesome. Can I ask Where you got the T shirt ?
I am reading the supremacy of God in preaching by John Piper and he uses Edwards a ton! You and John Piper have given me love for Jonathan Edwards!
I think it appropriate that every time we remember a slave owner we also remember the human beings they owned. In Jonathan Edwards' case: Venus, Leah, Rose, Joseph, Sue, Joab, and possibly others whose names we don't know.
Pastor why did God creat Lucifer knowing he would mess himself up and become Satan
