Exodus 20 - The Ten Commandments - TOG EP 95

In the supernatural history of the book of Exodus, we are finally arriving at the Ten Commandments. In Exodus 20, Yahweh restates to His people, the Israelites, that He delivered them from the land of Egypt. Establishing Yahweh as the one true God and creator over the Egyptian gods - the territorial spirits. God presents His Ten Commandments to the Israelites, which are the foundations for God's relationship with His people. Yahweh instructs His people about the Sabbath and warns against constructing idles. We have more cosmic geography with Yahweh meeting Moses in Mount Sinai. Let's dive into Exodus 20!

Show Notes

Nakedness - don't shoot the messenger. Nakedness is an old Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

Leviticus 18:7-16


What does it mean to uncover nakedness in the Bible?


I discuss this topic, as well as territorial spirits,  in detail in Cosmology and Demonology in Genesis 1-11.













Till Next Time

Next episode I may start a series on A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. Or we'll continue on in Exodus.

Jesus Immanuel God with Us - TOG EP 94

For unto us, a child is born! What is the reason for the season? Why did Jesus leave his position in heaven to come to earth as man? Did Jesus come to earth as a man merely to fix the original sin, or was there much more? What role did Jesus play as the second Adam? In this episode, we dive into the birth of Jesus and the objective of the work on the cross. It's the Christmas edition of Tales of Glory!

Hebrews 2:9 He became lesser than angels.

John 1:1-18 The Word Became Flesh 

Luke 1:26-38 Birth of Jesus Foretold 

Matthew 1:18-23 The Birth of Jesus Christ 

Romans 5:12-21 Death in Adam, Life in Christ

Note: I mislabeled a verse. I said Joel 2:20, at podcast t = 26:17, but it was actually:

Joel 2:28-29 The Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit

28  “And it shall come to pass afterward,
      that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;

   your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your old men shall dream dreams,
    and your young men shall see visions.
29 Even on the male and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit.


Mike's book - Cosmology and Demonology in Genesis 1 - 11

Covers the three falls discussed in this podcast episode.













The Hardbound edition of the book is available here.

I hope you enjoyed the Mega Podcast Christmas Extravaganza edition of Tales of Glory. It was a timely fit and conclusion to Demonology 101-104. The series ends with the birth of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!

Jesus and Christology Q&A - Demonology 104 - TOG EP 93

What does it look like to have Jesus walk us through spiritual warfare ministry? Does modern deliverance ministry teach us to rely on our efforts rather than trusting Jesus? Why does Matthew 25, The Parable of the Ten Virgins, correlate to ministering in spiritual warfare? In the Q&A section, we'll examine how to minister to children. We'll discuss the level of discernment required for determining if a child has a spiritual affliction. We'll also discuss when and where to use the spiritual warfare prayer postures. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 104 Q&A class is now in session.

Christology and the Parable of the Ten Virgins

 

The Parable of the Ten Virgins - Matthew 25:1-13

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 oil 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.
6 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.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’
10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the 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.
 

 

Were elemental water spirits partnering with Jesus walking on water? 

Jesus Walks on Water - John 6:16-21

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing.
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened.
20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.”
21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

Matthew 14:22-33 , Mark 6:45-52


Elemental spirits - ambiguity

We don't really know what the early Christians and Second Temple Hebrews were referencing. 


Sons and Heirs - Galatians 4:1-11

1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,
2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.
3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Paul's Concern for the Galatians

8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
10 You observe days and months and seasons and years!
11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.

Jesus and Exorcism in the Torah and the Gospels - Demonology 103 - TOG EP 92


Who did the Gerasene demoniac think Jesus was? What did Jesus demonstrate during exorcism that proved to the Second Temple Jews and early Church believers that He was God? What changed in exorcism between the events in the Torah and the Gospels? Were any exorcisms documented in the Torah? Why are the rites of Solomon useless, especially in this dispensation of the end times of the Church? Let's examine the supernatural ministry of Jesus Christ as He demonstrated who He is through miracles, signs, and wonders of expelling unclean spirits. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 103 class is now in session.

Jesus the Son of God and Exorcism in the Gospels and Epistles

Mark 9:12-13   Jesus Transfiguration - cosmic geography, both Yeshua and Yahweh present.

Mark 9:14-29   Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit 

    Note: Errata: Max Luredo -> Max Lucado.     Jesus Heals a Boy with Epilepsy

Luke 8:26-39   Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon

Mark 9:38-40   Invoking Jesus name for exorcism

Acts 19:13-19  Sons of Sceva - a botched exorcism leads to the salvation of many in Ephesis

Jesus The Watchers and Territorial Spirits - Demonology 102 - TOG EP 91

Did you know three falls are documented in Genesis chapters 1-11? We've only been taught about one in Genesis 3. There are actually two more. When Jesus became incarnate and entered this world, He came to resolve cosmic-level sins that infected both the physical and spiritual realms. Who was the angel of the Lord in the Torah, and why did He possess the authority to forgive transgressions? Let's examine these three falls and continue hyperlinking the Torah into the Gospels and the Epistles of Paul. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 102 class is now in session.
