>> what does that mean? explain if you don't mind.
00:04:57.061 --> 00:04:57.595
Explain if you don't mind. you know, first of all, there's
00:04:57.729 --> 00:04:59.030
You know, first of all, there's a lesson i learned from my
00:04:59.164 --> 00:04:59.731
A lesson i learned from my mother.
00:04:59.864 --> 00:05:00.064
Mother. she was inspired by the prayer
00:05:00.198 --> 00:05:02.667
She was inspired by the prayer of jabez and that talks about
00:05:02.801 --> 00:05:03.368
Of jabez and that talks about increasing your bounty.
00:05:03.501 --> 00:05:03.968
Increasing your bounty. i think that sometimes we are
00:05:06.104 --> 00:05:07.005
I think that sometimes we are so poised for and strife that
00:05:07.138 --> 00:05:10.875
So poised for and strife that we do not allow for the
00:05:11.009 --> 00:05:14.946
We do not allow for the blessings it's almost like to
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.816
Blessings it's almost like to to ask for more is to be greedy
00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:21.419
To ask for more is to be greedy ,to be selfish.
00:05:21.553 --> 00:05:21.920
,to be selfish. >> and so we can sometimes kind
00:05:22.053 --> 00:05:25.957
>> and so we can sometimes kind of limit our blessings.
00:05:26.090 --> 00:05:26.558
Of limit our blessings. but the lesson mom taught me is
00:05:26.691 --> 00:05:29.861
But the lesson mom taught me is that there is always room for
00:05:29.994 --> 00:05:30.628
That there is always room for more blessings that that if you
00:05:30.762 --> 00:05:33.998
More blessings that that if you believe in a god he is not
00:05:34.132 --> 00:05:36.668
Believe in a god he is not punitive.
00:05:36.801 --> 00:05:37.068
Punitive. he's not a limited one.
00:05:37.202 --> 00:05:37.735
He's not a limited one. the idea that there's enough to
00:05:37.869 --> 00:05:41.105
The idea that there's enough to go around and so if you've been
00:05:41.239 --> 00:05:41.906
Go around and so if you've been blessed you can be blessed
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.509
Blessed you can be blessed more.
00:05:44.642 --> 00:05:44.809
More. >> it's also about like you
00:05:44.943 --> 00:05:45.510
>> it's also about like you know being content where are
00:05:45.643 --> 00:05:48.847
Know being content where are but also allowing for more
00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:49.547
But also allowing for more because there will always be
00:05:49.681 --> 00:05:52.750
Because there will always be struggle and when that happens
00:05:52.884 --> 00:05:53.485
Struggle and when that happens it is your bounty that will see
00:05:53.618 --> 00:05:55.854
It is your bounty that will see you through.

00:25:37.718 --> 00:25:38.319
One of the great secrets of the universe.
00:25:38.452 --> 00:25:38.686
Universe. it seems counterintuitive but
00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:41.889
It seems counterintuitive but we call it the law of
00:25:42.022 --> 00:25:42.556
We call it the law of reciprocity and it comes from
00:25:42.690 --> 00:25:43.290
Reciprocity and it comes from the words of jesus and the
00:25:43.424 --> 00:25:44.925
The words of jesus and the gospel of luke the sixth
00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.559
Gospel of luke the sixth chapter.
00:25:45.693 --> 00:25:45.893
Chapter. it's in your bible too.
00:25:46.026 --> 00:25:48.762
It's in your bible too. it seems odd but it's it's how
00:25:48.896 --> 00:25:52.366
It seems odd but it's it's how this principle works and jesus
00:25:52.499 --> 00:25:53.100
This principle works and jesus says give love and it will be
00:25:53.234 --> 00:25:57.171
Says give love and it will be given unto you.
00:25:57.304 --> 00:25:57.671
Given unto you. now so often we think well i'll
00:25:57.805 --> 00:26:01.308
Now so often we think well i'll give when i have enough or i'll
00:26:01.442 --> 00:26:03.878
Give when i have enough or i'll give for my abundance.
00:26:04.011 --> 00:26:04.478
Give for my abundance. that's not what the scripture
00:26:04.612 --> 00:26:05.179
That's not what the scripture says.
00:26:05.312 --> 00:26:08.015
Says. >> scripture says you put it in
00:26:08.148 --> 00:26:08.883
>> scripture says you put it in an emotion give and it will be
00:26:09.016 --> 00:26:09.850
An emotion give and it will be given you.
00:26:09.984 --> 00:26:11.852
Given you. and then he adds with the
00:26:11.986 --> 00:26:12.620
And then he adds with the measure you use it will be
00:26:12.753 --> 00:26:15.890
Measure you use it will be measured back to you if you
00:26:16.023 --> 00:26:16.590
Measured back to you if you want to see blessings of heaven
00:26:16.724 --> 00:26:19.426
Want to see blessings of heaven and that what he talks about it
00:26:19.560 --> 00:26:20.227
And that what he talks about it heaped up press down shaking
00:26:20.361 --> 00:26:22.963
Heaped up press down shaking together running over.
00:26:23.097 --> 00:26:23.530
Together running over. if you want that then follow

That principle. i learned it from my father.
00:26:26.433 --> 00:26:29.937
I learned it from my father. i watched his life as he put
00:26:30.070 --> 00:26:30.905
I watched his life as he put that principle work john did to
00:26:31.038 --> 00:26:34.074
That principle work john did to you see his life as.
00:26:34.208 --> 00:26:36.944
You see his life as. he's put the principle into

They came in search of the one born king of the jews.

One born king of the jews. this is how matthew described
00:42:44.612 --> 00:42:46.380
This is how matthew described it.
00:42:46.514 --> 00:42:46.647
It. now after jesus was born in of
00:42:46.781 --> 00:42:50.084

The jews. but we have seen his star in

But we have seen his star in the east and have come to
00:43:02.063 --> 00:43:02.630
The east and have come to worship him.

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:05.900
From the east. >> obviously men who studied

>> obviously men who studied heavens.
00:43:09.336 --> 00:43:09.537
Heavens. as it says in genesis.
00:43:09.670 --> 00:43:10.171
As it says in genesis. the stars can tell a.
00:43:10.304 --> 00:43:13.007
The stars can tell a. >> during creation god said let
00:43:13.140 --> 00:43:16.077
>> during creation god said let there be lights in the
00:43:16.210 --> 00:43:16.744
There be lights in the firmament of the heavens to
00:43:16.877 --> 00:43:17.445
Firmament of the heavens to divide the day from night and
00:43:17.578 --> 00:43:20.448
Divide the day from night and let them be for signs and
00:43:20.581 --> 00:43:21.115
Let them be for signs and seasons and for days years.
00:43:21.248 --> 00:43:24.452
Seasons and for days years. and in the psalms the same is
00:43:24.585 --> 00:43:25.319
And in the psalms the same is said the heavens declare the
00:43:25.453 --> 00:43:28.289
Said the heavens declare the glory of god and the sky above
00:43:28.422 --> 00:43:29.123
Glory of god and the sky above his handiwork and night after

His handiwork and night after night reveals knowledge.
00:43:32.426 --> 00:43:32.927
Night reveals knowledge. >> some the magi came from
00:43:33.060 --> 00:43:36.397
>> some the magi came from babylon modern day iraq.
00:43:36.530 --> 00:43:37.031
Babylon modern day iraq. they studied heavens and found
00:43:37.164 --> 00:43:39.400
They studied heavens and found something miraculous.
00:43:39.533 --> 00:43:39.967
Something miraculous. >> the stars heralded, the
00:43:40.101 --> 00:43:43.404
>> the stars heralded, the coming of the messiah of israel
00:43:43.537 --> 00:43:44.171
Coming of the messiah of israel and the savior of the world.
00:43:44.305 --> 00:43:47.441
And the savior of the world. in his documentary the star of
00:43:47.575 --> 00:43:48.209
In his documentary the star of bethlehem, rick larsen says a
00:43:48.342 --> 00:43:51.345
Bethlehem, rick larsen says a first century historian named
00:43:51.479 --> 00:43:52.046
First century historian named philo described what magi like
00:43:52.179 --> 00:43:55.749
Philo described what magi like and finally does discuss magi.
00:43:55.883 --> 00:43:56.484
And finally does discuss magi. >> and he describes a
00:43:56.617 --> 00:43:59.987
>> and he describes a particular school of magic out
00:44:00.121 --> 00:44:00.721
Particular school of magic out of the eastern school and these
00:44:00.855 --> 00:44:02.289
Of the eastern school and these magi he praises.
00:44:02.423 --> 00:44:02.790
Magi he praises. >> he says these guys
00:44:02.923 --> 00:44:03.390
>> he says these guys understand the natural order
00:44:03.524 --> 00:44:06.293
Understand the natural order and are able to explain natural
00:44:06.427 --> 00:44:07.094
And are able to explain natural to others.
00:44:07.228 --> 00:44:07.461
To others. and they were according to file
00:44:07.595 --> 00:44:11.265
And they were according to file probably what we might call
00:44:11.398 --> 00:44:11.966
Probably what we might call something like proto
00:44:12.099 --> 00:44:12.533
Something like proto scientists.
00:44:12.666 --> 00:44:12.933
Scientists. >> they were the scientists
00:44:13.067 --> 00:44:14.301
>> they were the scientists their day at least this fancy
00:44:14.435 --> 00:44:15.069
Their day at least this fancy eastern school of magi was of
00:44:15.202 --> 00:44:15.836
Eastern school of magi was of that character.
00:44:15.970 --> 00:44:18.439
That character. now we do not know that these
00:44:18.606 --> 00:44:19.406
Now we do not know that these magi in scripture are from that
00:44:19.540 --> 00:44:20.174
Magi in scripture are from that eastern school but i think it's
00:44:20.307 --> 00:44:22.309
Eastern school but i think it's interesting that matthew wants
00:44:22.443 --> 00:44:23.043
Interesting that matthew wants us to know they came from the
00:44:23.177 --> 00:44:23.811
Us to know they came from the east.
00:44:23.944 --> 00:44:24.111
East. i think telling us is magi were
00:44:24.245 --> 00:44:26.180
I think telling us is magi were from the good school impressive
00:44:26.313 --> 00:44:26.947
From the good school impressive magi i have a theory about the
00:44:27.081 --> 00:44:30.384
Magi i have a theory about the eastern school.
00:44:30.518 --> 00:44:30.851
Eastern school. imagine that perhaps they were
00:44:30.985 --> 00:44:31.619
Imagine that perhaps they were descended from daniel's day.
00:44:31.752 --> 00:44:33.687
Descended from daniel's day. daniel never went home.
00:44:33.821 --> 00:44:34.288
Daniel never went home. he stayed there until he died
00:44:34.421 --> 00:44:36.524
He stayed there until he died and i'm sure was training
00:44:36.657 --> 00:44:37.224
And i'm sure was training people to come up behind him.
00:44:37.358 --> 00:44:37.992
People to come up behind him. >> that may well be the eastern
00:44:38.125 --> 00:44:41.128
>> that may well be the eastern school that gets described in
00:44:41.262 --> 00:44:41.862
School that gets described in philo.
00:44:41.996 --> 00:44:42.163
Philo. >> larson wonders the magic
00:44:42.296 --> 00:44:44.698
>> larson wonders the magic might have been of jewish
00:44:44.832 --> 00:44:45.399
Might have been of jewish descent since they were
00:44:45.533 --> 00:44:46.033
Descent since they were searching for king of the jews
00:44:46.167 --> 00:44:48.736
Searching for king of the jews as they traveled to the judean
00:44:48.869 --> 00:44:49.603
As they traveled to the judean wilderness.
00:44:49.737 --> 00:44:51.639
Wilderness. they set their sights on the
00:44:51.772 --> 00:44:52.373
They set their sights on the city of jerusalem and its king
00:44:52.506 --> 00:44:55.342
City of jerusalem and its king herod.
00:44:55.476 --> 00:44:55.643
Herod. this is the place where the
00:44:55.776 --> 00:44:56.410
This is the place where the magi would have come to
00:44:56.544 --> 00:44:59.280
Magi would have come to thousand years ago.
00:44:59.413 --> 00:44:59.813
Thousand years ago. today it's the tower of david
00:44:59.947 --> 00:45:00.548
Today it's the tower of david museum.
00:45:00.681 --> 00:45:00.881
Museum. but when the wise men came.
00:45:01.015 --> 00:45:03.150
But when the wise men came. it was the palace of king
00:45:03.284 --> 00:45:03.918
It was the palace of king herod.
00:45:04.051 --> 00:45:04.218
Herod. i'm standing on one of the
00:45:04.351 --> 00:45:07.288
I'm standing on one of the towers he built and overlooks
00:45:07.421 --> 00:45:07.988
Towers he built and overlooks the city of jerusalem.
00:45:08.122 --> 00:45:08.622
The city of jerusalem. and there on the mount of
00:45:08.756 --> 00:45:11.125
And there on the mount of olives it's likely the magi got
00:45:11.258 --> 00:45:13.594
Olives it's likely the magi got their first look at the city of
00:45:13.727 --> 00:45:14.395
Their first look at the city of jerusalem and it's king.
00:45:14.528 --> 00:45:17.097
Jerusalem and it's king. this place is called the alley
00:45:17.231 --> 00:45:17.865
This place is called the alley and may have been where the
00:45:17.998 --> 00:45:18.732
And may have been where the magic king herod met about 20
00:45:18.866 --> 00:45:21.268
Magic king herod met about 20 years ago.
00:45:21.402 --> 00:45:21.669
Years ago. it was discovered that this was
00:45:21.802 --> 00:45:24.371
It was discovered that this was of the palace of king herod.
00:45:24.505 --> 00:45:25.239
Of the palace of king herod. and this is how matthew
00:45:25.372 --> 00:45:26.073
And this is how matthew describes meeting after they
00:45:26.207 --> 00:45:29.109
Describes meeting after they asked herod where is he?
00:45:29.243 --> 00:45:29.743
Asked herod where is he? who has been born king of the
00:45:29.877 --> 00:45:32.947
Who has been born king of the jews?
00:45:33.080 --> 00:45:33.247
Jews? >> when herod the king heard
00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:33.948
>> when herod the king heard this he was troubled and all
00:45:34.081 --> 00:45:36.584
This he was troubled and all jerusalem with him.
00:45:36.717 --> 00:45:37.151
Jerusalem with him. and when he had gathered all
00:45:37.284 --> 00:45:37.885
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes
00:45:38.018 --> 00:45:39.620
The chief priests and scribes the people together he inquired
00:45:39.753 --> 00:45:40.421
The people together he inquired of them where the christ was be
00:45:40.554 --> 00:45:43.924
Of them where the christ was be born.
00:45:44.058 --> 00:45:44.225
Born. >> then the chief priests and
00:45:44.358 --> 00:45:44.925

Scribes provided the answer the wise needed to find the king of

Wise needed to find the king of the jews.
00:45:48.562 --> 00:45:48.796
The jews. so they said to in bethlehem of

So they said to in bethlehem of judea for thus it is written by

But you bethlehem in the land of judah are not the least

Ruler who will shepherd my people israel.
