00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:10.419
Draw me close to you, never let me go I
2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:18.480
lay it all down again Till you say that.
3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.719
I'm a friend Good day. The Almighty Creator desires a
4
00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:31.329
deep personal relationship with you. My name is James Robertson.
5
00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:35.149
I'm a researcher, publisher and teacher regarding the matters and
6
00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:38.710
truths of the Almighty Creator, whose true name is Yah,
7
00:00:38.729 --> 00:00:43.619
the Eternally Self-Existing. I've been actively serving Him since 1993,
8
00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:47.439
over 33 years. If you're not actively serving Yah, then
9
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.840
by default you're serving Satan. My objective is to show
10
00:00:50.899 --> 00:00:53.039
you how you can make a big difference on earth
11
00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:56.149
and qualify for a position of high esteem in heaven
12
00:00:56.210 --> 00:01:01.630
for eternity. It's important to understand that as a believer,
13
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:08.590
just being good is not the point. It's relationship with
14
00:01:08.629 --> 00:01:11.489
Yah that counts. Without this, you'll be in a very
15
00:01:11.530 --> 00:01:13.909
unpleasant place in heaven with no way out. And my
16
00:01:13.969 --> 00:01:16.569
aim is to show you how you can get close
17
00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:19.349
to Father. If you're a good person without a clear
18
00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:22.370
relationship with Yah, then you're in a spiritual no-man's land
19
00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.230
and you will not enter heaven when you die. The
20
00:01:25.269 --> 00:01:28.670
Creator has said regarding unbelievers, why would I want someone
21
00:01:28.689 --> 00:01:31.909
to spend eternity with me when they do not believe
22
00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:35.390
I exist? Yah is calling everybody on the planet to
23
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:37.469
be involved and serve Him and help Him to have
24
00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:41.969
victory over Satan. Fundamentally, we each need to learn to
25
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.500
see things on earth from Yah's perspective. So today I'm
26
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.579
going to carry on with Philippians part two, and then
27
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.819
I'm going to move on to Colossians. Those are the
28
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:56.439
books in the New Testament. And these are Shaul's letters,
29
00:01:56.500 --> 00:02:01.799
Paul's letters to Philippians and Colossians. And the overview. The
30
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.239
books of Philippians and Colossians provide teachings to the believers
31
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.200
in those cities from Shaul, and there's a lot of
32
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:11.759
just general chitchat as well. Shaul is commonly but incorrectly
33
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.520
called Paul. He was a Hebrew, not a Greek, and
34
00:02:15.370 --> 00:02:19.169
Paul is not a Hebrew name. There's a lot of
35
00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:22.090
wrong thinking about Shaul, so it is vital to note
36
00:02:22.129 --> 00:02:26.180
that Rick Joyner reports in The Final Quest that Shaul
37
00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:31.020
is seated on a high throne in heaven. Please watch
38
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.120
the introduction in the book of Matiyahu, which we broadcast
39
00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:41.830
about a year ago, to get some broader context to
40
00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:48.840
this commentary. and that commentary applies to Philippians and Colossians
41
00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:54.289
as well. This is Philippians part 2, chapter 1, continuing
42
00:02:54.349 --> 00:02:58.550
at verse 25. And having this confidence, I know that
43
00:02:58.629 --> 00:03:01.810
I shall abide and continue with all for your furtherance
44
00:03:04.250 --> 00:03:09.240
and joy of emunah. Emunah being faith on steroids, as
45
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.990
I like to put it. Faith, like a significant number
46
00:03:14.090 --> 00:03:20.729
of common English words, are meaningless and have pagan connotations.
47
00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:25.969
And so I lean towards using the Hebrew in quite
48
00:03:26.009 --> 00:03:29.629
a few cases, probably about 25 different words, where I
49
00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:32.490
substitute the Hebrew and then the names, I go back
50
00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:34.210
to the original Hebrew names.
51
00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:36.469
I hold that.
52
00:03:38.990 --> 00:03:44.080
Just because you're talking another language doesn't mean that your
53
00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:49.939
name changes as well. I've spoken at international conferences where
54
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.180
they've introduced me through a translator. They don't introduce me
55
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.610
as their language version of my name. They introduce me
56
00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:02.569
as Dr. James Robinson, and I think that the same
57
00:04:02.629 --> 00:04:07.300
applies to anyone who is 26 years That your rejoicing
58
00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:11.460
may be more abundant in Yahushua, that is incorrectly Jesus,
59
00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:16.120
the anointed one of Yah, incorrectly Christ, for me by
60
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.709
my coming to you again. So Jesus Christ actually means Yahushua,
61
00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:23.589
the anointed one of Yah. Verse 27. Only let your
62
00:04:23.629 --> 00:04:28.129
conversation be as it is fitting the good news of
63
00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:31.110
the anointing of the Spirit of Yah. That whether I
64
00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:33.370
come and see you or else be absent, I may
65
00:04:33.410 --> 00:04:36.709
hear of your affairs. You stand fast in one spirit
66
00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:39.779
with one mind, striving together for the emunah, the faith
67
00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:44.279
of the good news, good news gospel. So the good
68
00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:46.279
news of the anointing of the Spirit of Yah, the
69
00:04:46.339 --> 00:04:49.420
gospel of Christ. And I want you to see there's
70
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.100
a big difference between the good news of the anointing
71
00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:54.620
of the Spirit of Yah and the gospel of Christ.
72
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.589
We most people think that Christ equals Jesus. Christ does
73
00:04:58.629 --> 00:05:02.230
not equal Jesus. Christ equals the Spirit of Yah. It
74
00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:07.660
equals Yah. Verse 28. and in nothing frightened by your adversaries,
75
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.939
which is to them an evident token of destruction, but
76
00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:14.000
to you of deliverance and that of Yah. For you
77
00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.220
it is given on the behalf of the anointed one
78
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.800
of Yah, in that case referring to your sure, not
79
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.180
only to believe in him, but also to suffer for
80
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.370
his sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me,
81
00:05:25.379 --> 00:05:33.430
and now here to be in me. Chapter 2 If
82
00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:37.319
there be, Therefore, if there be therefore any consolation in
83
00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:40.259
the anointing of the Spirit of Yah, if any comfort
84
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.250
of chesed, chesed meaning covenant love, if any fellowship of
85
00:05:44.329 --> 00:05:48.149
the Spirit, of any affection and compassion, fulfill you my
86
00:05:48.189 --> 00:05:51.029
joy that you may be like-minded, having the same chesed,
87
00:05:51.589 --> 00:05:56.769
being of one accord, of one mind. Same love, chesed,
88
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.860
again a more elaborate word, It's covenant love. It's love
89
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:10.240
that is binding and strong and not easily swayed. Verse 3.
90
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.459
Let nothing be done through strife or self-conceit, but in
91
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.079
lowliness of mind, let each esteem the other better than themselves.
92
00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:24.459
Important principle. Esteem the other better than yourself. 4. Look
93
00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:27.100
not every man on his own things, but every man
94
00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:30.089
also on the things of others. Let this mind be
95
00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:32.009
in you, which was also in the anointing of the
96
00:06:32.069 --> 00:06:35.290
Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahushua. Being in the
97
00:06:35.350 --> 00:06:37.990
form of Yah did not regard equality with Yah a
98
00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:42.699
matter to be grasped. Some translations indicate that Yahushua did
99
00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:48.040
seek equality with Yah, and that's not correct. Yahushua did
100
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:54.329
not make himself equal with Yah. Continuing, so just to
101
00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:57.129
read verse 6 again. who being in the form of
102
00:06:57.189 --> 00:06:59.980
YAH did not regard equality with YAH a matter to
103
00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:05.420
be grasped, but made himself of no reputation, and took
104
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.459
upon him the form of a servant and was made
105
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:13.199
in the likeness of men. Important to understand, Yashur was
106
00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:16.420
the first spirit being created by YAH when he started
107
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.639
the creative process way back when. And he acted as
108
00:07:21.750 --> 00:07:25.889
the second in command, aide-de-camp, whatever you want to call him,
109
00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:30.509
supporting and working alongside Yah throughout all of creation, so
110
00:07:30.529 --> 00:07:33.920
He was very powerful, knew exactly what was going on,
111
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.100
and the whole thing went a bit haywire when Satan
112
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.579
rebelled and was cast down to Earth, and then Adam
113
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.699
rebelled and submitted to Satan and gave control on Earth
114
00:07:45.730 --> 00:07:49.029
to Satan. And so Yeshua said, you know what, I'll
115
00:07:49.069 --> 00:07:51.350
come down to Earth and I'll die on the stake
116
00:07:51.569 --> 00:07:55.740
and I'll regain authority over the forces of darkness. by
117
00:07:55.779 --> 00:07:59.300
living without sin. And Yahweh said, okay, that's a good idea.
118
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:04.620
Let's do it. And so he came from his position
119
00:08:04.779 --> 00:08:09.230
of great power and authority in heaven to earth as
120
00:08:09.290 --> 00:08:14.230
a man, as a servant. Really important to get that.
121
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:18.850
Verse 8. And being found in fashion as a man,
122
00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:21.970
he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even the
123
00:08:22.009 --> 00:08:25.699
death of the stake. Wherefore, YAH also has exalted him.
124
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:30.670
YAH is the correct name of the Almighty Creator, not God,
125
00:08:30.750 --> 00:08:35.830
not the Lord. Those are blasphemous names. Please don't use them. Wherefore,
126
00:08:35.870 --> 00:08:39.230
YAH also has highly exalted him. Give him a name
127
00:08:39.269 --> 00:08:42.679
which is above every name. But at the name of Yahushua,
128
00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:45.139
every knee should bow, things in heaven and things in
129
00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:48.919
earth and things under the earth. Important to understand, Yahushua
130
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.620
means YAH is salvation and there's nothing higher than the
131
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.799
salvation of YAH. So there's nothing magic This thing about
132
00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:58.899
at the name of Jesus, no, at the name of Yahushua,
133
00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:02.620
meaning Yah is salvation. So at the name of Yah's salvation,
134
00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:05.399
every knee should bow of things in heaven and things
135
00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.899
in the earth and things under the earth. And that
136
00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:11.240
every tongue should confess that Yahushua, the anointed one of Yah,
137
00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:16.759
is Adonai to the kavod of Yah the Father. So Yahushua, Jesus,
138
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.320
the anointed one of Yah, Christ, is Adonai, Lord, to
139
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.370
the kavod, glory of Yah the Father. Wherefore, my beloved,
140
00:09:25.429 --> 00:09:28.029
as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,
141
00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:30.909
but now much more in my absence, work out your
142
00:09:30.970 --> 00:09:34.250
own salvation with fear and trembling. That's an important principle.
143
00:09:34.289 --> 00:09:37.789
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. It doesn't
144
00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.919
just happen without our effort. You have to work at it.
145
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.919
If you want to be someone in heaven, you've got
146
00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:48.279
to put time and effort into it.
147
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:48.350
13.
148
00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:50.240
For it is Yah which works in you both to
149
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.879
will and to do of His good pleasure. Do all
150
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.899
things without grumbling and disputing that you may be blameless
151
00:09:55.970 --> 00:09:59.110
and harmless, the sons of Yah, without rebuke in the
152
00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:02.399
midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you
153
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.360
shine as lights in the world. Holding forth the word
154
00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:08.600
of your life, that I may rejoice in the day
155
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.950
of the anointed one of Yah, that I have not
156
00:10:10.990 --> 00:10:14.129
run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Yea, and if
157
00:10:14.210 --> 00:10:17.389
I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your immona,
158
00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:20.429
I joy and rejoice with you all. For the same
159
00:10:20.529 --> 00:10:23.960
cause also do you joy and rejoice with me. But
160
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.080
I trust in Adonai, Yeshua, to send Timotheus, Timothy, shortly
161
00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:31.379
to you, that I also may be of good comfort
162
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.120
when I know your state. For I have no man
163
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:38.009
like-minded who will naturally care for your state. For all
164
00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:43.059
seek their own, not the things which are Yeshua's. So
165
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.360
this is just general news for the large part. And
166
00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:47.559
the thing I would ask you to see, folks, in
167
00:10:47.580 --> 00:11:09.610
these passages that I'm reading to you, There's a lot
168
00:11:09.649 --> 00:11:14.970
of it which is just general social discourse. How are you?
169
00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:21.350
I'm well. I'm not so well. Timothy's coming to visit you.
170
00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:25.820
Why does that need to be the word of God?
171
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:37.440
It doesn't. It's just Sure, communicating with his friends, his followers.
172
00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:42.419
Verse 24. But I trust in you, the eternal self existing,
173
00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:46.360
that I also myself shall come shortly. Remember, he's in
174
00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:51.500
chains in Rome. 25. Yet I supposed it necessary to
175
00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:55.179
send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in labor
176
00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:00.009
and fellow soldier, but your messenger and he that ministered
177
00:12:00.070 --> 00:12:02.909
to my wants. For he longed after you all and
178
00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:05.389
was full of heaviness, because the Jew had heard that
179
00:12:05.429 --> 00:12:08.429
he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh
180
00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:10.690
to death, but YAH hath mercy on him, and not
181
00:12:10.769 --> 00:12:13.509
only on him only, but on me also, lest I
182
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:17.230
should have sorrow upon sorrow. I sent him therefore the
183
00:12:17.289 --> 00:12:20.370
more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice,
184
00:12:20.450 --> 00:12:23.710
and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him
185
00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:26.789
therefore in YAH, the eternal Self, existing with all gladness,
186
00:12:27.330 --> 00:12:30.429
and hold such in reputation. because for the work of
187
00:12:30.450 --> 00:12:32.549
the anointing of the Spirit of Yah, he was nigh
188
00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:35.990
to death, not regarding his life to supply your lack
189
00:12:36.049 --> 00:12:40.730
of service towards me. So again, this is just general
190
00:12:41.029 --> 00:12:47.669
social discussion. Chapter 3. Finally, my brethren, rejoice in Yah,
191
00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:54.460
the eternal self-existing. This is as distinct from rejoicing in
192
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.419
the Lord, which gets confused between the Lord Yah and
193
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.009
the Lord being Yeshua, Jesus. So rejoice in Yah, the
194
00:13:02.029 --> 00:13:05.549
eternal self existing, to write the same things to you,
195
00:13:06.169 --> 00:13:08.929
to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it
196
00:13:09.009 --> 00:13:13.000
is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evildoers, beware of
197
00:13:13.029 --> 00:13:17.019
the mutilation. For we are the circumcision which worship Yah
198
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.100
in the spirit and rejoice in the anointing of the
199
00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:22.059
spirit of Yah that was upon Yeshua and have no
200
00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:24.759
confidence in the flesh. So this is part of this
201
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.980
thing that the Torah fell away when Yeshua died. And
202
00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:33.379
he's saying, Circumcision doesn't matter anymore. There was a time
203
00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:38.200
with the Torah when people were told to be circumcised
204
00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:42.639
and YAH saying it didn't work. Supposed to remind people
205
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.519
that they were close to YAH. Didn't work. Let's try
206
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.919
something new. It's really important to understand we are not
207
00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:59.399
walking out a pre-planned script. Everything is happening as it happens.
208
00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:03.159
Yah is working through us as best he can, but
209
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.799
most of the time we mess up. Verse 4. Thou
210
00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:09.899
might also have confidence in the flesh of any other man.
211
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.220
Think of that he is whereof he might trust in
212
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.600
the flesh I more. Circumcised the eighth day of the
213
00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:18.279
stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, and the
214
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:23.320
Hebrew of the Hebrews, touching the Torah of Pharisee. Concerning zeal,
215
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.500
persecuting the assembly, touching the righteousness which is in the
216
00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:29.700
Torah blameless. But what things were gained to me, these
217
00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:32.139
I counted lost for the anointing of the Spirit of Yah.
218
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.629
So I counted lost for Christ, no, counted lost for
219
00:14:35.649 --> 00:14:37.490
the anointing of the Spirit of Yah. And if you
220
00:14:37.509 --> 00:14:39.929
think that Christ is another name for Jesus, you go
221
00:14:39.990 --> 00:14:43.850
completely off the mark here. This is not I counted
222
00:14:43.889 --> 00:14:46.350
lost for Jesus, this is I counted lost for the
223
00:14:46.409 --> 00:14:48.970
anointing of the Spirit of Yah. The infilling of the
224
00:14:49.029 --> 00:14:52.649
Spirit of Yah in me as a believer that grows
225
00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:56.129
as I worship and pray and get closer to Yah.
226
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.990
Totally different story. Verse 8. Yea, doubtless, and I count
227
00:15:02.070 --> 00:15:04.529
all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
228
00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:06.870
of the anointing of the Spirit of Yah, who was
229
00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:10.129
upon your sure my Adonai, for whom I have suffered
230
00:15:10.169 --> 00:15:12.529
the loss of all things, and do count them but dung,
231
00:15:12.549 --> 00:15:15.559
that I may win the anointed one of Yah, anointed
232
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.500
one of Yah being your sure. Let's go there again.
233
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.639
The excellency of the knowledge of the anointing of the
234
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.620
Spirit of Yah that was upon your sure my Adonai.
235
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:32.529
Conventional translation, Christ Jesus, my Lord. Can you see the difference?
236
00:15:34.429 --> 00:15:37.909
Knowledge of the anointing of the Spirit of Yah that
237
00:15:37.929 --> 00:15:44.220
was upon Yeshua, my Adonai, as distinct from Christ Jesus,
238
00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:51.580
my Lord. Totally, totally different. Verse 9, And be found
239
00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:54.070
in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of
240
00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:57.200
the Torah, that which is through the Amunah of the
241
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.740
anointing of the Spirit of Yah, the righteousness which is
242
00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:02.820
of Yah by Amunah, that I may know Him and
243
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.919
the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His
