I hope you're all doing well Pastor Hindman. Is it possible to have a depth observation and analysis Bible study on Ezekiel 28. I'd appreciate it, I need to comprehend in a detailed theoretical analogy perspective. I've been attempting to research information. We appreciate your teaching and efforts to upload consistently Thank You God Bless
How are you, Faizal?! Thanks so much for your comment and question. It is great to hear from you again. Ezekiel 28 is a challenging chapter since a large part of it is a description of Lucifer and his condition and position in heaven before he fell, and why he did fall. I like the suggestion of presenting a study on the chapter. However, I am getting ready to move and pastor a new church and will be pretty tied up with those details for the next month or two. I will think on it though and see if I can put something together. I love in-depth Bible study and this is certainly an important chapter. I pray all is well with you and God is blessing and guiding in your life. 🙏 your brother, Pastor Hindman
Aditya Bobby , Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. 3And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. 4And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. 5Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 6And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar. 7Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, 16The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, 17The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, 18The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah. 19These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him. The children of Israel is the only nation to have made a covenant with the Father to keep his laws ; they are the only ones under his laws . The church/covenant/testament is the agreement with the Father and the children of Israel . The Gentiles/Strangers are not under the laws of the Father , but understand that they must keep them to get salvation . Romans 2:11-15 , " 11.For there is no respect of persons with God. 12.For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14.For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15.Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) The believing Gentiles/Strangers are grafted into the covenant/church/testament , between the Father and the children of Israel , through the blood of Christ ; also any Israelites who hast transgressed the Fathers laws . Jesus Christ is mediator of the covenant , head of the church , and king of Israel . In the Father's kingdom , what is the name of his house ? ( Revelation 21:10-11 , " 10.And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; ) How many gates does New Jerusalem have , and what are their names ? ( Revelation 21:12 , " 12.And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: ) Shalom !
Hebrews 1:7-8 , " 7.And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. THE ANGELS WERE MADE , BUT JESUS CHRIST IS : MICAH 5:1-2 , " 1.Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Who are the 144000 ? Is there a special resurrection? Are those die for their faith rejecting the mark of the beast part of the 144000 ? What does early writing say about the 144000 ?
Hi friend! I believe the Bible teaches the 144,000 are those who receive the seal of God and are protected during the time of trouble just before Jesus returns. Yes, I believe the Bible teaches there is a special resurrection in several places (Daniel 12:2; Revelation 1:7; Matthew 23:64; Revelation 14:13) The seal of God is found in the 4th Commandment. Satan has made special efforts to destroy and distract from this truth. Especially was this true during the Dark Ages of papal supremacy. There have been many martyrs and Protestant Reformers who stood faithful and true to God, while at the time not seeing the light of the Sabbath commandment. The Bible clearly teaches that God only holds people accountable for the light of truth that they have (see John 9:40,41; John 15:22,24). Those who die for their faith after the time this truth is called to our attention I believe will be part of the 144,000. "I saw that the four angels would hold the four winds until Jesus’ work was done in the sanctuary, and then will come the seven last plagues. These plagues enraged the wicked against the righteous; they thought that we had brought the judgments of God upon them, and that if they could rid the earth of us, the plagues would then be stayed. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob's trouble. Then all the saints cried out with anguish of spirit, and were delivered by the voice of God. The 144,000 triumphed. Their faces were lighted up with the glory of God." Early Writings pg 36.2 🙏
THE 144,000 ARE ISRAELITES , THE SAINTS , WHO WILL RECEIVE THEIR HEAVENLY BODIES AT THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST ; TO REIGN WITH HIM IN HIS KINGDOM FOR 1000 YEARS ;THE FIRST RESURRECTION . ROMANS 8:22-23 , " 22.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. PSALM 122:1-5 , " 1.(A Song of degrees of David.) I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 2.Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3.Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: 4.Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. 5.For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. REVELATION 7:1-8 , " 1.And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. REVELATION 14:1-5 , " 1.And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. THE GREAT MULTITUDE IN REVELATION 7:9 , ARE THE ONE IN THE FATHER'S KINGDOM ON THE NEW EARTH AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT ; WHICH INCLUDE ALL ( 144,000 IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION , AND THE ONE WHO ARE SAVED IN THE SECOND RESURRECTION , AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT ) . NO ONE IS GOING TO THE THIRD HEAVEN WHERE THE FATHER IS NOW ; HE WILL BRING NEW JERUSALEM DOWN TO THE NEW EARTH AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT . SHALOM !
The 144000 is symbolic as explained earlier in the study. The Saints are Abraham's seed, those circumcised by the heart, those who have the testimony of Jesus and keep his commandments. Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy. That is way Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." So those are the Saints, will as God to mold them in the Fire of tests and troubles to be refined as God to take on Him character. Those that has his Character at the end will be the 144000. Hope this was a blessing on to you.
@@martinduplooy259 Who said that the 144,000 is symbolic ? What does Revelation 7:1-8 say ? What nation did the Father make a covenant with to keep all of his laws ? Remember , a nation is a family of people . Jesus Christ is the mediator of the covenant between the Father and the ones he made a covenant with . Exodus 24:4-8 , " 4.And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 6And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. Moses as the mediator : Hebrews 8:6-10 , " 6.But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Jesus Christ as the mediator : The church/covenant/testament , is the agreement between the Father and the children of Israel ; to keep all of his laws , and he will be their God . ) . Gentiles/Strangers are not under the laws of the Father , but understand that they must keep them to get salvation .

The saints will reign and judge with Jesus Christ at his kingdom of 1000 years on this earth , and judge with him at the great white throne judgment . 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 , " 1.Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? THESE ARE THE SAINTS : PSALM 149:1-9 , " 1.Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand; 7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

Who are the 144000 ? Is there a special resurrection? Are those die for their faith rejecting the mark of the beast part of the 144000 ? What does early writing say about the 144000 ?
Hi friend! I believe the Bible teaches the 144,000 are those who receive the seal of God and are protected during the time of trouble just before Jesus returns.
Yes, I believe the Bible teaches there is a special resurrection in several places (Daniel 12:2; Revelation 1:7; Matthew 23:64; Revelation 14:13)
The seal of God is found in the 4th Commandment. Satan has made special efforts to destroy and distract from this truth. Especially was this true during the Dark Ages of papal supremacy. There have been many martyrs and Protestant Reformers who stood faithful and true to God, while at the time not seeing the light of the Sabbath commandment. The Bible clearly teaches that God only holds people accountable for the light of truth that they have (see John 9:40,41; John 15:22,24). Those who die for their faith after the time this truth is called to our attention I believe will be part of the 144,000.
"I saw that the four angels would hold the four winds until Jesus’ work was done in the sanctuary, and then will come the seven last plagues. These plagues enraged the wicked against the righteous; they thought that we had brought the judgments of God upon them, and that if they could rid the earth of us, the plagues would then be stayed. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob's trouble. Then all the saints cried out with anguish of spirit, and were delivered by the voice of God. The 144,000 triumphed. Their faces were lighted up with the glory of God." Early Writings pg 36.2 🙏

8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
Moses as the mediator :
Hebrews 8:6-10 , " 6.But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Jesus Christ as the mediator :
The church/covenant/testament , is the agreement between the Father and the children of Israel ; to keep all of his laws , and he will be their God . ) .
Gentiles/Strangers are not under the laws of the Father , but understand that they must keep them to get salvation .
Romans 2:11-15 , " 11.For there is no respect of persons with God.
12.For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13.(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14.For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15.Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
The mediators ( Moses & Jesus Christ ) cannot change the covenant , they intercedes for the people in the covenant with the Father .
The saints will reign and judge with Jesus Christ at his kingdom of 1000 years on this earth , and judge with him at the great white throne judgment .
1 Corinthians 6:1-3 , " 1.Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
THESE ARE THE SAINTS :
PSALM 149:1-9 , " 1.Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand;
7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
PSALM 122:1-5 , " 1.(A Song of degrees of David.) I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
Matthews 19:27-28 , " 27.Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Revelation 20:4-6 , " 4.And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Romans 8:22-23 , " 22.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

1 Corinthians 16:1-3 , " 1.Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
Acts 11:27-30 , " 27.And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
30Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
