• 00:33 David Hart: Thank you so much for joining us today,
• 00:35 we're glad you're with us.
• 00:36 Now, normally, you will see a lot of footage from Israel,
• 00:40 teaching from there.
• 00:42 Hi, guys.
• 00:43 Today, I think it's a little different location, yes?
• 00:46 Joshua: Well, if you've paid attention to any of the "Bearded
• 00:47 Bible Brothers" seasons, you've noticed that this is our
• 00:49 hallowed bunker, of which we deliver the Lord's Word safely
• 00:53 and often, because this time we couldn't make it to Israel for
• 00:55 this message, there are pertinent things God wanted us
• 00:57 to share that we had to do now.
• 00:59 Caleb: I hear we're going on a field trip today,
• 01:01 though, so I'm so excited.
• 01:03 Joshua: You should be so excited, you're usually the
• 01:04 one that forces me into places I don't wanna go
• 01:06 to talk about abominations I don't wanna talk about,
• 01:08 but today, I'm in control, and I'm gonna talk about something
• 01:11 that everybody loves to talk about.
• 01:13 Caleb: What are we talking about?
• 01:14 Joshua: I'm glad you asked, brother.
• 01:15 I'm sure all of you have heard of a little-known figure in the
• 01:17 Bible known as Judas Iscariot.
• 01:19 That man's a guy we know about,
• 01:21 but have you heard about, read about,
• 01:23 or even seen the Judas goat?
• 01:27 Ladies and gentlemen, I take you on a destination that is tapered
• 01:31 after Caleb's specific desires, the locations that he prefers.
• 01:36 Today, we're gonna go learn who the Judas goat is and what
• 01:39 impact he has on our lives.
• 01:44 Joshua: Come on, brother.
• 01:46 Caleb: Seriously, Josh?
• 01:47 Why do you always equate surprises
• 01:49 with being blindfolded?
• 01:51 Joshua: Because, it's a surprise, that's what we do.
• 01:55 Caleb: This isn't third grade anymore.
• 01:57 I don't smell any piñatas, but, oh, that smells funky.
• 02:02 Did you remember a shower this morning, Josh?
• 02:04 Joshua: I think so.
• 02:06 Caleb: What are we doing here?
• 02:08 Joshua: Ta-da.
• 02:09 Caleb: Oh no.

• 02:22 Joshua: Well? Huh?
• 02:24 Caleb: Josh, you know I don't like country stuff.
• 02:27 I mean, I miss the East Coast, we had four literal seasons,
• 02:31 we had seafood, we had beaches and
• 02:33 mountains, now this.
• 02:35 Joshua: Brother, let me stop you right here.
• 02:36 This is Texas.
• 02:38 First of all, this is known as pre-summer,
• 02:40 yesterday was 95 degrees, and today it's 38 degrees and bone
• 02:43 chilling, that's what Texas has to offer.
• 02:45 Plus, you can get seafood at Red Lobster, I'm a
• 02:47 card-carrying member, and.
• 02:49 Caleb: Red Lobster?
• 02:51 Josh, Red Lobster is the McDonald's of seafood.
• 02:53 Joshua: Maybe yeah, but you don't gotta be so judgy,
• 02:56 it's gonna be okay.
• 02:57 Caleb: I apologize in advance for the most yee-haw,
• 03:00 ride-em cowboy, cringe-worthy hillbilly fest you've ever seen.
• 03:05 Joshua: Now, as you often do.
• 03:07 I decided that, today, I would like to present a message from
• 03:10 God in a timely fashion, about his people, Israel.
• 03:13 Caleb: You're gonna teach about Israel in
• 03:15 the stockyards, in Fort Worth?
• 03:17 Joshua: Yes, I am. Caleb: All right, go for it.
• 03:19 Joshua: It all began with Baphomet.
• 03:23 Caleb: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you cannot
• 03:25 begin an episode teaching about the demon, Satan,
• 03:28 goatman-hybrid, Baphomet.
• 03:31 Joshua: Okay, that makes sense.
• 03:32 All right, it all began in 1893.
• 03:38 Caleb: I can't win this one.
• 03:40 Joshua: What? Caleb: No, go ahead, go.
• 03:41 Joshua: The year was 1893, Greenleif Simpson decided to
• 03:45 purchase the Union Stockyard Company for $133,333 and change
• 03:50 the name to the Fort Worth Stockyard Company.
• 03:54 At this point, he decided, "You know what?
• 03:57 Trying to ship our meat off to other places to be processed
• 04:00 doesn't make a lot of fiscal sense, we need a meatpacking
• 04:03 factory here so that we can draw more business in this area."
• 04:08 So, he decides to bring other companies in, he convinces
• 04:11 Armour Company and Swift Company to build here.
• 04:13 They flip a coin to see who's gonna get which plot of land.
• 04:16 Armour Company wins and gets the northern plot right over
• 04:19 here, and in 1902, they begin construction for what will
• 04:23 become one of the largest hog and sheep
• 04:26 processing centers in America.
• 04:28 It was also known as the "Wall Street of the West."
• 04:32 Brother, it's time to go on an epic,
• 04:35 historic journey of goat-like proportions.
• 04:39 I had to do it. Come on, let's go.
• 04:40 Caleb: We have to.
• 04:42 ♪♪♪
• 04:52 Joshua: You see this tunnel right here?
• 04:54 This tunnel was used to traffic sheep and goats.
• 04:58 "Why would they need to bring sheep and goats
• 04:59 underground," you may ask.
• 05:01 Because if you're taking these animals above ground,
• 05:03 you're gonna have traffic jams, it's gonna be ridiculous.
• 05:06 This dates back to 1903, they could shuttle up to 10,000
• 05:10 animals a day on these concrete-lined tunnels.
• 05:13 They have terra cotta tiles, they're beautiful.
• 05:15 Now, they would take these animals north to the Armour
• 05:17 plant or south to the Swift plant for processing and
• 05:19 slaughtering, but who would lead the way on this journey?
• 05:23 A goat, not just any goat, but a goat by the name
• 05:26 of the Judas goat.
• 05:29 Caleb: Oh, now you've piqued my interest.
• 05:32 Joshua: As I should, brother. Caleb: Tell me more.
• 05:34 Joshua: As I should. To the Judas.
• 05:36 ♪♪♪
• 05:45 Joshua: Now, I know what you're thinking,
• 05:47 how could God's beautiful, loving creation known as "goat"
• 05:51 be used in any insidious manner, right, brother?
• 05:54 Caleb: Well, you said, like, "Judas goat," 37 times,
• 05:56 but really, what is it?
• 05:58 Joshua: Look, Judas goats were used to herd animals,
• 06:01 specifically sheep, from one location to another.
• 06:05 Caleb: Okay, so, still not very Judas-y yet.
• 06:07 Joshua: Glad you said that, brother.
• 06:08 Here's the deal, cows, pigs, they could be led by humans,
• 06:13 they could be led by dogs and other animals.
• 06:15 But, you see, sheep, their own instinct led
• 06:18 them in circles, right?
• 06:19 They would sit there and just follow
• 06:21 one another, go like this.
• 06:22 Caleb: Oh yeah, I can confirm, that's exactly
• 06:24 what they are, stupid.
• 06:27 Joshua: Or, if you try to lead them with a dog,
• 06:29 they might get spooked and break a
• 06:30 leg and hit a chute or something like that.
• 06:32 It wasn't efficient, they had to figure out how to efficiently
• 06:34 get these sheep from one spot to another,
• 06:37 and they found that they could do so with a goat.
• 06:40 Caleb: So a goat herded the sheep,
• 06:43 but how is he Judas, and how is this Jewish at all?
• 06:46 I mean, honestly, Josh.
• 06:48 Joshua: My brother's always a little bit skeptical.
• 06:49 So, here's the deal, they would train a goat named a Judas goat,
• 06:53 they would put a bell around its neck, okay?
• 06:56 Now, this goat was trained to bring them
• 06:58 to the top of a slaughterhouse.
• 07:00 A slaughterhouse had many levels,
• 07:02 but the killing floor was on the very top.
• 07:04 And so, as you can see around the stockyards,
• 07:07 it could have been a very precarious journey to get these
• 07:09 sheep through all these little pathways.
• 07:11 Well, this goat was trained to do so,
• 07:13 and so he would walk with this little bell,
• 07:15 jingling, jingling, and if all of a sudden the sheep stopped,
• 07:17 he'd go, "Bleat," and they would follow him up to the top.
• 07:20 And when they got to the top, he would walk through the door.
• 07:23 Safely on the other side, all of those sheep would go and
• 07:26 immediately be killed one after another,
• 07:29 and he would receive his payment for doing so,
• 07:31 a single unfiltered cigarette.
• 07:35 He would immediately devour his cancer stick and run back to the
• 07:39 start to grab his new group of sheep, because that guy was
• 07:43 addicted to nicotine, and his entire life evolved to leading
• 07:47 these sheep to the slaughter.
• 07:49 Caleb: Get thee behind me, Satan.
• 07:51 Joshua: Judas goat.
• 07:53 ♪♪♪
• 08:01 Caleb: A sheep have always needed a shepherd,
• 08:04 do a big research dive into sheep and you'll figure out that
• 08:08 when they don't have a shepherd, bad things happen.
• 08:11 I mean, sheep are dumb, really dumb,
• 08:14 they just don't need A shepherd, they need THE shepherd.
• 08:17 Matthew 9:36 says, "When he saw the crowds,
• 08:22 he had compassion on them because they were confused and
• 08:25 helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."
• 08:28 Psalm 23:1-3 says, "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
• 08:33 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
• 08:35 He leads me beside the still waters.
• 08:37 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness
• 08:41 For His name's sake."
• 08:42 Psalm 100, verse 3, "Know that the LORD, He is God!
• 08:47 It is He who made us, and we are His;
• 08:50 we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture."
• 08:53 Joshua: Now, I'm gonna be honest with you,
• 08:55 I'm not exactly the livestock expert that I appear to be with
• 08:58 all of this amazing information I possess.
• 09:00 In fact, I had never even heard of the Judas goat until I took
• 09:03 my daughter here on a class field trip and they
• 09:06 explained everything to me.
• 09:07 At first, I thought it was hilarious, the idea of a
• 09:10 nicotine-addicted goat pipe-piping all the sheep to
• 09:12 certain doom while they just followed along
• 09:14 like fluffy little animals.
• 09:16 But then I began to think, I was like,
• 09:18 "Wait a minute, Josh, the Bible explains us as sheep quite
• 09:22 often, and they told me that sheep will blindly follow a
• 09:26 leader, even unto death."
• 09:28 So I had to ask myself, "As a sheep,
• 09:32 am I following the Good Shepherd or a smoking goat?"
• 09:35 That was a little more sobering for me.
• 09:37 Now, I know everybody thinks that goats and sheep are just
• 09:39 terribly stupid animals that just roam around hitting their
• 09:42 heads into walls, but they're actually more than that.
• 09:44 A goat is very different than a sheep,
• 09:46 a goat is motivated by the next morsel of food he's going to
• 09:50 get, that's all he thinks about.
• 09:51 That's why man has been able to train Judas goats,
• 09:54 they give him the next morsel, and he does
• 09:56 anything to get to it.
• 09:57 Sheep are different, they're community driven,
• 10:00 they go and flock towards things together,
• 10:03 they have no natural defense on their own,
• 10:05 other than for them to band together in big fluffy piles so
• 10:07 that they're protected, or so they think, from their enemies.
• 10:10 They have strong family bonds, the group that they're with,
• 10:14 their maternal group, they will go with them forever.
• 10:16 Sheep actually have a very good vision, too, they have
• 10:18 a much wider view with their pupils than humans do.
• 10:21 But the problem is, they have poor depth perception,
• 10:25 or you could say it another way, they have poor perspective.
• 10:28 Caleb: It's really crazy because the instinct of the sheep is
• 10:31 just driven to follow a leader.
• 10:34 Now, they will follow any other sheep in any direction,
• 10:37 and if that sheep is leading them to certain doom,
• 10:39 they will all go off the cliff together.
• 10:41 That is why it's so important that we know that we're
• 10:44 following a good shepherd and not a Judas goat.
• 10:48 And you may be thinking to yourselves,
• 10:49 "I know my pastor, I know my church, I'm following
• 10:52 the best shepherd," but do you really know?
• 10:55 Are you being led off into certain doom,
• 10:57 to the slaughterhouse?
• 10:59 Isaiah 53 gives us amazing poetic imagery of Messiah
• 11:04 Yeshua, but then you get to verse 6,
• 11:07 and it says, "All we like sheep have gone astray;
• 11:11 we have turned--every one--to his own way;
• 11:14 and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
• 11:18 Guys, on our own, we have all sinned, every single one of us,
• 11:21 there's not a single person who has not made a mistake.
• 11:24 ♪♪♪
• 11:28 Joshua: You can have all the best intention, just like sheep,
• 11:32 you can have a strong family, you can flock together,
• 11:34 you can have good sight, good hearing, but that doesn't
• 11:37 mean that you aren't easily deceived, just like sheep
• 11:40 are, they'll flock together right off a cliff.
• 11:43 Guys, during the Holocaust, the Jews greatly outnumbered their
• 11:46 captors in the camps, there was far more Jews than there were
• 11:49 Germans, but the fear, the fear of what might happen to them,
• 11:54 prevented them from banding together, from rising together.
• 11:57 And because of that, they were led one by one to slaughter on a
• 12:00 daily basis, until millions upon millions had been killed.
• 12:04 The outcome could have been different, the casualties could
• 12:06 have been less, we won't know, because they
• 12:08 followed down that path.
• 12:10 You say, "Josh, why are you trying so hard to link together
• 12:13 a age-old practice of how to herd sheep,
• 12:17 into something biblical today?"
• 12:19 First of all, it's not age old.
• 12:20 Did you know that, today, the Judas goat is still being
• 12:23 utilized, but in a different manner.
• 12:26 Instead of the Judas goat leaning sheep to the slaughter,
• 12:28 now a Judas goat is trained, a radio transmitter is put around
• 12:32 his neck, and he is now dropped by helicopter onto a field to go
• 12:36 seek out feral goats.
• 12:38 When he gets in the group of goats,
• 12:40 a helicopter will fly over, and they'll shoot all the other
• 12:42 goats dead, pick up the Judas goat,
• 12:45 and bring him to the next pile.
• 12:47 Now, think about that.
• 12:48 At first, the Judas goat was utilized to take out the sheep,
• 12:52 but now he's being used against his own kind.
• 12:55 When we look at the parable of the sheep and the goats,
• 12:57 the differentiation between sheep and goats wasn't about
• 12:59 species, it was about who decided to despise the Lord,
• 13:04 who decided to love him and choose him.
• 13:07 Nowadays, the enemy doesn't just use our enemies to deceive us,
• 13:13 he uses our brothers and sisters.
• 13:15 He will use anyone, he'll use your pastor,
• 13:18 he'll use your family, he gives us false doctrine in our own
• 13:21 churches, idolatry amongst our own believers.
• 13:25 It is so easy today to follow into deception and to be led off
• 13:29 a cliff by the ones that we're supposed to be able to trust.
• 13:34 That's why you have to know who it is you're following,
• 13:37 who you've committed your life to.
• 13:39 2 Timothy says, "For the time will come when they will not
• 13:43 endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires,
• 13:46 because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves
• 13:49 teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth,
• 13:52 and be turned aside to fables."
• 14:00 Caleb: You know, guys, that which is carnal is always more
• 14:03 palpable than that which is spiritual,
• 14:05 mankind is forever led astray by the lust of the flesh,
• 14:08 the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
• 14:11 The flesh is that old sin nature from the first Adam,
• 14:15 and its insatiable desires can never be quenched,
• 14:18 that's why Satan uses the goats to feed the flesh,
• 14:22 to draw you away from God, to glorify self,
• 14:26 to focus on self, to feed self, but he does so slowly
• 14:30 and deceptively over time.
• 14:31 Joshua: "Live your best life, come on, guys, focus on
• 14:34 yourself," ask God for what you need, you know, always ask him
• 14:38 to improve your life, always asking him what he can do
• 14:42 for you, but never pursuing him.
• 14:44 Have you noticed that's the doctrine of the day?
• 14:47 "Me, me, me, what God can do for me," never wanting to know him
• 14:50 more, putting him more in your life, putting him at
• 14:53 the forefront, asking him what he would have you do.
• 14:59 Caleb: Matthew 7:15-20, "Beware of false prophets,
• 15:03 who come to you in sheep's clothing,
• 15:05 but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
• 15:07 You will know them by their fruits.
• 15:10 Do men gather grapes from thornbushes
• 15:12 or figs from thistles?
• 15:13 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit,
• 15:16 but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
• 15:19 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,
• 15:21 nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
• 15:24 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down
• 15:26 and thrown into the fire.
• 15:28 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
• 15:33 Guys, God made a way for us to discern between those fake Judas
• 15:38 goats and the good shepherds, the goats don't bear any fruit,
• 15:43 nothing real and tangible and spiritual that you can take with
• 15:46 you into eternity, all they have to offer you is the temporary
• 15:50 pleasures, the temporary happiness,
• 15:54 but not the eternal joy.
• 15:56 You will know them by their fruits.
• 15:59 Joshua: Guys, remember, Satan can't come up with anything new,
• 16:02 he's terrible at it, he keeps rebranding and remarketing the
• 16:06 same old plans and the same old lies and the same old deceptions
• 16:09 that he always has.
• 16:10 So it is so important that you don't get caught up by the shiny
• 16:14 exterior, by the little bell around the neck of whatever is
• 16:17 trying to lead you astray, but that you keep your eyes fixed
• 16:21 on the Good Shepherd.
• 16:22 Caleb: That's right, Acts 20:28-30 says, "Therefore
• 16:26 take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which
• 16:30 the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the
• 16:34 church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
• 16:37 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will
• 16:41 come in among you, not sparing the flock.
• 16:43 Also from among yourselves men will rise up,
• 16:45 speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples."
• 16:49 Joshua: Make no mistake about it,
• 16:51 today, each and every one of us stands at a crossroad,
• 16:54 you will either continue to follow down this path,
• 16:57 chasing the Judas goat to the slaughterhouse,
• 17:00 or you will turn from the path that you've been on and you will
• 17:03 head towards the Good Shepherd.
• 17:05 Only you can decide.

• 17:12 Caleb: Wait, does this mean we're going to the Judas goat?
• 17:15 Oh man, this is not the right way.
• 17:17 I just gave a speech, we're supposed to be going good.
• 17:21 Joshua: John 10:11-15 says, "I am the good shepherd.
• 17:24 The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
• 17:27 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd,
• 17:30 who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the
• 17:33 sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
• 17:36 He flees because he's a hired hand and cares
• 17:38 nothing for the sheep.
• 17:40 I am the good shepherd.
• 17:42 I know My own and My own know Me,
• 17:44 just as the Father knows Me, I know the Father;
• 17:47 and I lay down My life for the sheep."
• 17:50 Kirsten Hart: Josh, I love the fact that you were on a field
• 17:54 trip, which is wonderful that you even went on a field trip,
• 17:58 with your daughter to the stockyards to get
• 18:01 inspired for today's program.
• 18:03 The both of you, and I should get points for this,
• 18:06 look so incredibly young that people wouldn't even think that
• 18:11 both of you are fathers, and it's just kind of neat to know
• 18:15 that you guys are dads and field trips are part of your normal
• 18:18 life in addition to everything that you do with the program.
• 18:22 Joshua: I think that most people are terrified of the idea of me
• 18:24 being in charge of other humans, but that's okay,
• 18:27 they were given to me by God, so he must think I'm A-OK.
• 18:30 I love it, you know, I'm always trying to listen to what God
• 18:33 wants to show me in a situation, and I don't think that it's
• 18:36 ever necessarily in the ways we expect.
• 18:39 So, when you get in that moment, whether you're on a field trip
• 18:41 or here or there, and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit starts
• 18:43 speaking to you, that's the time to listen.
• 18:45 I mean, Yeshua was always using object lessons,
• 18:48 and I thought this was such a great lesson,
• 18:50 when I was sitting there in that field trip,
• 18:52 I thought it had to be--it had to be told.
• 18:54 David: I could even smell what it was like when you were there.
• 18:56 Joshua: It was so bad.
• 18:58 Caleb: It wasn't my favorite place to go,
• 19:00 but the message, I feel, is so important today.
• 19:03 It says in 1 John 4:1-3, "Beloved, do not believe every
• 19:08 spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;
• 19:11 because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
• 19:14 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses
• 19:17 that Jesus Christ is come to flesh is of God,
• 19:19 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ is
• 19:22 come to flesh is not of God."
• 19:24 Satan is out to deceive us, guys.
• 19:26 I believe there are counterfeits in the church,
• 19:29 there are Judas goats in the church,
• 19:30 there are Jezebels, there's Ahabs,
• 19:32 there's false prophets, false teachers, witches, warlocks.
• 19:36 We have heard from people who've come out of the occult that says
• 19:38 it was their job, their duty to pretend to be ministers and to
• 19:43 sit in the church pews for the long haul until they gained
• 19:46 positions of power, and to twist doctrine to lead people astray.
• 19:50 And it's taught about scripturally in the past,
• 19:53 and it's here today, even in our churches.
• 19:55 Kirsten: What's kind of crazy is, in the stockyard scenario,
• 20:01 it only took one goat, one, to lead so many astray, and
• 20:08 it can take one powerful person to lead so many
• 20:12 in the church astray also.
• 20:14 And the parallels are unbelievable, I'm thankful that
• 20:18 you saw that on a field trip, but it speaks powerfully.
• 20:22 David: It really does.
• 20:24 Joshua: I think one of the terrifying ideas about how that
• 20:26 goat is able to lead all of those sheep seamlessly is that
• 20:30 the sheep don't want disruption.
• 20:32 So, when you learn about the sheep,
• 20:33 they couldn't use a dog because a dog's bark or his sudden
• 20:36 movements would spook them, a person could do the same thing.
• 20:40 But this goat had this simple manner, how he just easily led
• 20:43 them in their own complacency, to their own demise.
• 20:46 And this is what's so scary about counterfeit movements and
• 20:49 ideas, is that we get lazy, we get lazy and we do not put our
• 20:53 focus on the real thing.
• 20:55 If you're trying to decipher counterfeit money,
• 20:58 for instance, you're trained by studying real money,
• 21:02 you have to touch it, feel it, maybe not taste it,
• 21:04 but you have to be in its presence enough.
• 21:06 Because there are so many counterfeits, if you know the
• 21:09 real one, everything else is decipherable as a counterfeit.
• 21:12 But we live in a society today that is so lazy,
• 21:15 so self-focused, so wants to just go with the flow that
• 21:19 nobody wants to rise up for the truth.
• 21:22 And the problem is, they don't know the truth because they
• 21:24 don't know Yeshua any longer.
• 21:27 It is each and every one of our's responsibility to put
• 21:29 our focus on him, to open that book,
• 21:32 to learn him and to forge a relationship,
• 21:35 so that if a goat with a bell around his neck chewing on a
• 21:38 cigarette shows up and says, "Come over here," we're like,
• 21:40 "No, dude, I know exactly what Judas you are and I'm not gonna
• 21:43 follow you into a slaughterhouse."
• 21:45 That is our responsibility.
• 21:48 Kirsten: Can I just say, that was a really
• 21:49 good goat imitation?
• 21:52 That was good, and there's so much meaty stuff to take away,
• 21:56 and I'm almost embarrassed to admit that my mental takeaway is
• 22:01 that I think about this one goat wanting a cigarette.
• 22:04 I mean, that's just crazy.
• 22:06 But if one sheep had said, "I don't think this is a good
• 22:11 idea," and it turned to all the others,
• 22:13 it would have saved their lives.
• 22:15 Joshua: That's right. Caleb: Amen.
• 22:16 Kirsten: Yeah.
• 22:17 David: Good teaching, today, guys.
• 22:19 Joshua: All right, we'll be back after this.

• 23:17 1 TB Edition, Deep Purple, I'm so sorry,
• 23:20 I couldn't do it to you.
• 23:22 Caleb: All right, guys, last week, we spoke about the
• 23:24 Pinnacle counterfeit to the Jewish people,
• 23:27 "The False Prophet."
• 23:28 And this week, we're gonna talk about counterfeits in the
• 23:31 church, because don't think for a second that we are exempt from
• 23:34 Satan's deception or plans.
• 23:36 And the sad thing is, many Christians will fall for it,
• 23:39 hook, line, and sinker.
• 23:40 In fact, Paul was greatly concerned about the church in
• 23:44 Corinth being caught into the counterfeit
• 23:45 situation, he said so.
• 23:47 Joshua: 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 says, "But I am afraid that
• 23:51 just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your
• 23:54 minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere
• 23:57 and pure devotion to Christ.
• 23:58 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus,
• 24:01 other than the Jesus we preached,
• 24:03 or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you
• 24:06 received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted,
• 24:09 you put up with it easily enough.
• 24:12 Caleb: Ooh, burn. Joshua: Goodness gracious.
• 24:14 Caleb: I just, ew, that's harsh, guys.
• 24:17 Does it ring any bells with the church today, either, you
• 24:21 know, putting up with apostasy or accepting it?
• 24:24 I find it interesting what Paul said there,
• 24:26 he said accepting a different Jesus than the one we preach.
• 24:30 What, there's two Jesus's?
• 24:31 Joshua: That doesn't even make sense.
• 24:32 Caleb: There's more than one Jesus in this world?
• 24:34 And we'll get into that.
• 24:36 First, we gotta talk about 1 John 4:1-3.
• 24:39 Joshua: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit,
• 24:41 but test the spirit, whether they are God;
• 24:44 because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
• 24:47 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses
• 24:50 that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
• 24:54 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has
• 24:56 come in the flesh is not of God."
• 24:59 Caleb: So I wish it were as cut and dry as that sometimes,
• 25:02 "Come on, guys, say, 'Jesus is Lord,'" and you try to
• 25:05 trip some false prophet up.
• 25:06 Joshua: You can do it.
• 25:08 Caleb: But it doesn't happen that way sometimes.
• 25:09 As Paul says, that some people could preach in the name of
• 25:12 Jesus, they're giving you some doctrine,
• 25:14 but they are intending a different Jesus in their mind,
• 25:16 just like there's lots of people named Jesus,
• 25:18 today, lots of Jesús is going around.
• 25:20 Joshua: I mean, Jesus still lives over by my house.
• 25:22 Caleb: Exactly, so that's a common name,
• 25:24 and when people like witches and false prophets and apostles,
• 25:28 they go into the church, they have no problem preaching to you
• 25:30 in the name of Jesus, 'cause there's a different Jesus that
• 25:32 they're giving the gospel to.
• 25:34 Joshua: Our resources this week, "Glory,
• 25:36 The Future of the Believers."

• 26:13 Caleb: I think it's very applicable to our lives today.

• 26:34 because you'll know the voice of the Good Shepherd.
