I am a 48 year old man and my body is failing me. I have struggled with my faith most of my life. My legs have recently just stopped working and I’m trying not to be angry and bitter. God has shown me great miracles and blessed me so much more than I have deserved. I appreciate your message so much and ask our father to continue blessing you and helping you with your servitude. All my love to you and yours brother.
God bless you. I understand. I have spinal damage and need to commit my pain into God’s hands on an almost daily basis. If it were not for morphine, I would not be able to walk. Instead of calling out into the darkness about why people were allowed to do this to me, about why the pain is not healed: I found many blessings in calling in the light, thanking God for trusting me with this trial and promising to love Him even if the pain gets worse. A priest told me one time to offer my pain up to God for the salvation of souls and that it should be used for this purpose. I feel better when I am thanking God and blessing Him for the pain. My 🙏 for you that you will be able to withstand everything that the devil throws at you. What satan means for harm, God means for your good. Genesis 50:20
I am praying for you, I know Jesus can still perform miracles even in 2023. I feel like God put it on my heart to tell you this. 💯 I heard "Get Up" not sure what the issues are with your legs but whatever your being told to do to help yourself just do it and try and don't give up !
Brandon, my wife and I enjoy your videos! We both accepted Christ as teenagers and have developed as disciples of Christ. But “The Chosen” and your videos have developed a deeper perspective of our faith! Your video reminds me of a praise song that we both sang in the 1980’s, “Humble thyself in the sight of the LORD….”
Thank you brother you just opened my eyes and my mind. Your explanation is so simple and beautiful. Even though I'm not Christian but I had loved Jesus from a very young age. I'm currently reading the bible to understand who Jesus is on own my own but some time I don't know what's going on. But today is the first I saw you at once I know Jesus has sent you to me to hear more about and Jesus and who God.
That's wonderful. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for ALL of our sins then you my friend are a child of God. Your comment reminded me of how I've felt before. Especially being raised in a southern Baptist church where we were taught we would go to hell if we sinned and we have to be and do good to get into heaven. That's so not God's desire for all of us. Anyways God bless you on your journey to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. We will meet in heaven.
ALWAYS thankful 🙏🏼 for God to use His servants here below. I believe in Jesus or Yeshua the Christ. He fought an entire system. He reigns victorious because He is God on earth 🌎. No one was there at the beginning of time to say that Jesus was not there. The Bible says Let US male man in OUR image. Love was when God became a man. God bless you my brother Brandon. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼
Joshua 1:5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.
Every time I read this chapter, i notice that the woman with the issue of blood was sick for the same amount of time as the girl who died had been alive(12 years). It seems to imply that as soon as the woman was healed the girl died, then Jesus went to her and brought her back to life.
Great connections. Always so good to see what the original audience comprehended. The woman would have reached out for the tassels on his garment - the sign that he lived righteously iaw the Torah - held onto when praying & beseeching.
You just did it again! What a Wonderful chapter is this indeed, thanks to you for thoroughly explained it in the most wonderful way. God bless you Brandon.
My oldest daughter, Julieanne, died in active military duty on 7/17/2002, and was buried next to my parents.Nine years ago, my three siblings, decided she was not worthy to rest next to them, because they did not approve of her service. They took me to court, and I was required to move her. However, God saw the situation differently, and she was moved to Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Praise God! 🙏
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! Many people do not understand that we do not have the right to judge each other. A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to judge other people, even saying who will and who will not go to heaven. Just like the Pharisees, they are hypocrites. In life, we have the right to remove ourselves from people who endanger us. That’s it. We have no right to judge the souls of others. Disagreeing with your daughters service, and therefore rejecting her, is not what Christ taught. Matthew 7: 1-6
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, and the insensitive reaction of your siblings. I’m glad God gave a wonderful solution to the problem. Praise him!
@jilly stewart Please continue watching these videos! My prayer is that you will find Jesus and come to love Him the way He loves you. I bless you with the truth! The truth will set you free!
Welcome. Jesus rejoices at your heart's desire. Please stay and hang on to Christ. Be loves us so. Don't forget that. He'll never let up go if you don't leave
By the way when the apostle says *"Humble yourselves before the Lord"*, the word humble literally means to reduce one's own stature, to reduce one's own height. I have often found that the best way to reduce one's own stature is by bending those knees. I hope the one reading this comment is blessed by this insight.
Almost no one preaches Scripture, no one teaches Biblical truths like you. I hear social commentary and discussion from many people, but very few teach Scriptural truth like you. You are a blessing.
What a great teaching. I do believe in order to fully understand the scriptures we need to know the history and culture of the events spoken of. Very enlightening.
Wow dude. I’m currently working at a Christian rehab and I’m a recovering addict myself. Great teaching watching you gives me more inspiration to teach and the way to do it thank you. The devil has been at me telling me my teaching ain’t good enough and I’m not good enough but I’m to reach addicts and I didn’t stumble upon this video for no reason. Awesome stuff dude may God bless you and your family.
Hey brother keep it up. You are doing an amazing job and I don't even know you. The battle against the flesh and spirit is really tough and very important to overcome. I love Yeshuah and I know where we are prophetically speaking. I've been using fentanyl meth Xanax for years. I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting clean. I don't want to be left behind when the Rapture happens. You are blessed to be sober. And you are being a blessing to others by teaching them tools to stay sober and hopefully The Gospel as well.
If u have iit in your heart to teach then teach. Ask God to take over and He will. Don't listen to the filthy bit of shit that tells u that ur not good enough. A pot has to he cracked in order for God's light to shine out.
Hang in there, brother. You don’t have to have a perfect presentation to make a positive impact on the lives of others. You are doing a very good thing. Over twenty years ago, Jesus Christ set me free; I was demonized, have struggled with some things myself, but I know that demons DO recognize the Lord Yeshua, aka Jesus Christ. When people see what He did for YOU, and hear from your own heart and mouth what changes have taken place because of the Lord Jesus, that is a powerful way to get them to listen to you. This brother did an amazing job of digging deeper into the meaning of this account, and pointed out things i never knew about the Legion reference. I have always felt akin to the demoniac, and how after being set free from demonic oppression, his only desire was to go along, leaving all behind, and just be with Jesus. I always loved this chapter, but i have an even deeper understanding now of the significance of the deed of casting the demons into 2,000 pigs, to be drowned in the sea. Just like Pharoah’s army. I never knew that. So i wish you strength and joy in the Holy Spirit as you continue to minister to other addicts. Addiction does have a spiritual aspect to it. Thank the Lord He set you and i and so many others, FREE. Be blessed and Shalom.
I'm so glad it's leading you toward scripture. Please don't feel ignorant. We are all just learning (including me 🙂) By the way, I want to send you the gift you won at the live stream. Send me an email with you address and I'll get it to you soon! 😀
You are not unworthy! You are beloved beyond measure, precious sister. Some readings are hard to take because they pick out our error, but that only prompts us to persevere & seek the promised joy and understanding (and wisdom). He sees your heart and hears the unspoken prayers of your heart. Fear not and be thankful. You are loved!
None of us are worthy. Not a one. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through rhe redemption that is in Jesus Christ: 25. Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare hia righteousness for rhe sins that are past, through the forebearance of God; to declare I say at this time his righteousness: Romans 3:23-
Yesterday I was talking with my husband about his very passage and we acknowledged we didn't understand it well and today by "chance" I found your explanation--how beautiful is that!? :)
@@davidharris9077 exactly! And as far as I understand it, there is no word in the Bible that is the equivalent of the word coincidence. I think also that the Hebrew language has no word for “coincidence”!
I just happened upon this video. I almost skipped by it. I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve never seen your videos before. That was a really great video! I wanted to shout hallelujah! And then I was also convicted and humbled. What a fantastic video! Thank you!
I have never heard that explanation of the pigs! It makes so much sense! This message was so revelatory and awesome! Thank you for being a blessed vessel for the TRUTH of GOD!!!
All the Scriptures in the Holy Bible are absolutely interesting, even demons know who Jesus is, God bless you Brandon and give you more Wisdom and Knowledge to explain the Word of God to save more souls 🕊️✝️🌹
Demons know Jesus better than most humans, they are created spiritual beings, fallen angels... of course they know who Jesus is. They do not ever question his authority!!! We would do well to take a lesson from them.
Awesome lesson as usual. Thanks for taking the time to publish these. I know it is a lot of work. Specifically, I had never before made the connection between the demonic man in the Decapolis, the Roman 10th Legion and the Egyptian army. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks for that golden nugget.
@@morganophelia5963 But the swine immediately ran off the cliff into the sea, & died. Where did the demons go then? They begged to be cast into the pigs, but then the pigs died, wouldn't that be almost the same thing?
They knew what Malachi 4:2 said about the Messiah having healing in His Wings (The Tallit is referred to as Wings. It was to have tassels on the 4 corners with a blue thread called Tzit Tzit).
I said it before and I'll say it again, Brandon has a way of teaching that truly brings the Scriptures alive. His way of teaching, in my estimation, is beyond great....it is splendid and I love it. He holds my attention throughout. Tov tov tov.
There was also a pagan temple right around there and the pigs were to be sacrifices to that pagan god. I don’t remember which one at the moment but when he did that the temple lost all the sacrifices 🙌🏻🔥💕 how amazing is God. When he makes a move, it’s deeper and more profound than any man could fully grasp. Check into this, it’s super interesting !! God bless
@@prudenceseales735 Kevin zadai (he is on RUclips also, another amazing man of God also) was teaching on it and he is the one that was explaining the depths of this story too. There is so much meat to this if we keep digging. I love the Lord and his beautiful word of God that brings us such life and Liberty! God bless
I agree some are preachers and that is great. Some are teachers, this man is a gifted teacher. In historical context Jesus's life story is so much more powerful, and relevant to today!!
This was a great analysis of Mark. Your a pretty good communicator at presenting the gospel of a, “Holy Christ,” smiled all the way through it. Please continue to, “Run the Race that has been set before you and finish well.” Aloha. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful!! Two things that always amaze me about your videos: 1). how you notice details that I would think are small or insignificant and turn them into an exciting and important fact of the Bible!! 2).how you can keep your videos to 22 minutes but each word is filled with content. No word or thought is wasted. I watched it with my Bible , notepad and pen on hand!!! I am doing all your action steps as well! Thank you!! May God continue to Bless you.
I saw Mark 7. I went back to watch Mark 5. Brandon, I saw and understood more than I did the 1st time I saw Mark 5. How Jesus had been worship. I knew the stories, and yet missed how the three how bowed at His feet. They knew His saving grace, He could offer. Oh my...my Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲❤
I love hearing this. I still amazes me how we can read a passage so many times, and there is still something yet to learn. I especially love how God used these two passages together to help you understand each better. Thank you for sharing!
I am 74 and slowly becoming a cardiac invalid. My heart rhythm is so irregular that I have no stamina, I have to rest after very little activity. (Go to grocery store, come home and take a nap before I can bring in the groceries.) I pray to God for the ability to accept my suffering and be gracious to people.
The woman with the "issue of blood" knew that she could be healed by the Messiah, because all Jews knew that the real Messiah would have healing in his "fringes" (tzitzyot) see Numbers 15, Deut 22, and the woman would have known Malachi's prophecy 4:2 that the messiah would have healing in his garment. Jesus told her she was healed by faith because she had faith in the word of God thru Malachi, and in the Torah Numbers and Deut. Don't tell a story how she may have heard of the events across the sea, that's nonsense, the boat travels faster than word of mouth. Her faith was in the promise made through the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus. You said you give tools needed, well the tools needed are in Malachi, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
@Scott Jenkins I never heard him say the woman believed she could be healed because she heard that happened to the demon possessed man. Why are you implying that?
@@cynthiafreudenberger1578 he does imply that the man freed from demons goes and tells people what happened and that "sets up what is about to happen next in this chapter" right around 10:30 is where he makes this "connection" which I also think is stretching things a bit. There is no way word of what he did would get back to where he goes next before him.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. 17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. All by...... WORD OF MOUTH.....
No,..... you are going beyond the scripture now, Jesus said Himself that He was ONLY sent to the lost sheep of Israel.. Matthew 15:24. Jesus was not coming to save the Gentiles and give them the gospel message while He walked the earth. Jesus Christ is all the promises and prophesies come true for Israel only, and it was through Israel that the Gentiles would have neen saved.. This is verified in Old Testament. Today's church's don't understand the dispensation of grace that Paul preaches. It's a dispensation that was never made known to any of the OT prophets. This is the mystery that Paul speaks of so often.
thanks Brandon! I had no idea about the Roman legion boar symbol . We praise You Jesus for coming to save the most wretched of us, the outcast, the non-Jews, the unclean, etc. Thank You Jesus for extending Your love and power far beyond nazareth -- to the ends of the Earth. Thank You for Your mighty POWER!! amen
The Jews may have believed the Messiah was only coming for them, but Isaiah and King David made it quite obvious that the Christ would save the gentiles as well.
Thank you for your good teaching! I just noticed that the woman was ill for 12 years and the daughter of Jaïrus was 12 years old as well. The name of the occupying roman military force at that time was „Legion X Fretensis“ and its symbol was a male pig, see Wikipedia.
That was fantastic! I continually seek to know the cultural and historical background in order to truly understand the writers' intent. Good job brother!! Liked and subscribed :)
Amen!! Love the Lord. Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments" this is true love, and it includes 4 commandments that deal with our relationship with God and 6 commandments that deal with loving our neighbor.
The text says that Jesus and the disciples “needed to go to Garasines” and in the story, he calms the sea. He gets to the other side, delivers the demonized man, and turns right back around and goes back where he came from. He went across the sea JUST to heal and deliver that demonized man.
Keep reading and you will see that - the man who was healed by Christ Jesus testified about Christ in that town and the next time he went to that city they brought all the sick, lame and demon possessed to the Lord and He healed them all! That's why the Lord didn't take him back with them in the boat the first time, He knew the great multitude that would drawn to Him on His next trip to Garasines. Glory to God!
@@morganophelia5963 I don't think he had mercy on the demons, He had a purpose. Why would there be so many pigs? Because the Jews were eating pork! When the people came and saw what Jesus did (that only God could deliver such a man) they recognized their condemnation for eating pork.
@@susanresig8452 how did he not have mercy upon them?? He did not send them to the abyss before their appointed time . So therefore he not only cured the possessed man but had mercy upon the demons as well by not condemning them before their appointed time , he in in fact granted there request , seems mightly merciful to me. Amen.
My pastor is JD Farag and it's the most wonderful experience when you finally understand the Word and know he's preaching soley from God's guidance and strictly the Word. He's on RUclips.
This was an awesome revelation!!! Thank you God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all that you are and share with us! "You can't look down on someone, when you are at the feet of Jesus!" Love this line, such wonderful truth!
You must consider... The Messiah was just not the Prothet... The Jews knew that the Messiah was King... A king who would Rule... Anyone who recognized him as the Messiah also recognized him as the King... Even Pontius Pilate first question was. Are You the King of the Jews? Anyone who approached a King and did not bow a knee would be killed. Philippians 2:10-11... What does he desire is obedience. and if you love him... Keep his commandments
“Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”” Mark 5:9 . Many historians, believe the pig herders were Jewish, which means they were breaking Mosaic law (with illegal enterprise ) by keeping pigs,and selling/eating pork). Either way - no demand of restitution, for the loss of the herd was requested or mentioned … Just a terrified request for Jesus to leave the area. But-the man encountered Jesus! Was set free,and restored into his right mind! this was another example of the extraordinary extent Jesus went through, in order to save that which was lost, and to show with power that He is the Son of God most high. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus)have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10
I really like him and his teaching but I disagree with the part about Jesus loving everyone and the demon possessed man even bowing down before Him. The DEMONS knew who He was and were afraid of Jesus and THEY are the ones that caused the man to fall down and "Worship." Not the demon possessed man himself. Secondly God does NOT love everyone and the proof is all throughout Scripture. One example you may be familiar with is "Jacob I loved but Esau I hated." He also gives an example of what a Church should do when troubled by a person IN the congregation who causes strife among the brothers which ends with him being cast out of the Church entirely. For example one who persists in LGBTQ and advocates for it's approval. No not everyone is welcomed or you have the destruction of Churches like we have so many of today and then it is ruined for everyone.
What I Love and have come to learn from scripture is that there is always multiple layers to GOD'S working.. it is mind blowing..GODS wisdom is awesome...
I come across your channel while surfing you tube aimlessly.I believe Jesus did this for me. You see,I am a devout Catholic but not at all well versed with the Bible.Your vlogs are all teachable moments for me,personally. I am binging all your vlog offerings and it is so incredible because I am learning so much. Thank you so,so very much. I am so enriched by your incredible knowledge.I pray that Our Lord bless you and your family.Please continue to do what you are doing.

As a Christian I’ve always respected God’s chosen people. Overjoyed I’ve been adopted into the family. All praise and honor due the Lord Savior Messiah Jesus Christ. Hallelujah
I've always been somewhat off put by the concept of a "chosen" people. I do believe He is God, but am not totally comfortable with the anti-Gentile flavor of Scripture. Seems like a loving God should not play favorites with his "children". I would NEVER tell one of my kids I didn't love them as much as another of my kids. But, Christianity is the most sensible religion.
@@jsims1617 John 4:4 But God does not show partiality. He chose Jews to reveal His plan of salvation to the world. God does not show favouritism in that He wants all to be saved....
@@jsims1617 What seems right in the world is not right in God's eyes. The book of acts shows that Jesus rebuked Peter for believing gentiles were "unclean" and Gentiles also recieved the holy spirt along with the jews. (acts 1:17 The day of pentecost the Lord pourd out his spirit (the holy spirit) on ALL mankind. Religious people hardly know the meaning of scripture or the Hebrew parables. Just know that God Loves you and wants you to build a relationship with you. Call upon the Lord. Ask with all your heart for God to be revealed to you.. You will be shown. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the "door" will be opened unto you. Believe and be blessed.
Please call HIM by HIS TRUE NAME, which by the way has the meaning of the very thing we all agree HE ALONE CAN DO. JESUS IS LIKE A OET NAME. HIS TRUE NAME IS BEAUTIFUL. DO NOT HIDE IT OR BE ASHAMED TO PROCLAIM OR USE IT. Be blessed. Good job young brother. I appreciate you.
Hey Brandon this is 70-year-old female baby boomer I've been a Christian since age 6 wishy-washy in and out of church but at age 49 I came back to the Lord seeking his Mercy I definitely understand not being any better than anybody else and having the humble yourself before the Lord I'll tell you what a lot of people think that bowing before the Lord or anybody or humbling yourself before the Queen of England or whatever but humbling yourself to another person there is nothing that makes you more free than to let God take away your pride or give him your pride and humble yourself cuz the Lord is you know the ultimate that we should humble ourselves before but I'll tell you what I've never felt so happy I've never I didn't even really know what love was and now I just truly love everybody you know there's some people you have to kind of stay away from or maybe not be best friends with but you can still love them you can still pray for them somebody was praying for me does that make sense I know it does to you but I want to say something this was such an outstanding lesson I've never heard it preached anywhere near this I love the way you showed the maps and why you think it was the more Northern City which make common sense for the story for the rest of the story and wow knowing that the mass of the monster mascot whatever of the Romans was the boar pig absolutely blew my mind and I'm sure it will everybody that listens to this lesson now I have one request and I know you have a lot of followers and I know you probably do pray for your own liners everyday I'm just guessing that you're pretty good old boy and I mean an honest very good Christian man I'm old so I sometimes call people girls and boys LOL you're truly a man of God and I want to know if you will pray for my friend I have two friends actually they're very important one of them is going through menopause and she is having such a difficult time and personally she's just bleeding all the time enough that it keeps her away from people sometimes and she's a very good Christian lady she's actually my Sunday school teacher and friend very close friend actually should be my sister-in-law at some point my brother lost his wife to Parkinson's and so and he's a pastor so he feels like he needs to have a wife what he's a man anyway meaning most of us need a companion I don't... Anyway she needs prayer and I won't say her name also another friend whose name I will tell you Mary Ann... We've been friends since we were teenagers and through the years she became ill I forget what it's called cuz so many of those medical words are similar but her her back was one of those swaybacks that just progressively got worse and now she's literally like the lady in Luke chapter 12 I believe it is but she's bent in half she looks at the ground as she's walking and she follows the back of your feet so if we're going someplace I always walk in front of her and slowly because she has to use a cane just for balance but she also has problems with her neck even when she sits down she has a hole in her esophagus or something that just happened but she is such a wonderful person and she's an inspiration she gets going all the time she won't miss one church thing even if she has to be late she'll be there and I have health issues and quite a few I'm mentally good but you know I have back issues and I don't want to go into my health issues but enough that it keeps me from doing things sometimes quite a bit really and I ended up at 57 filing for social security disability and I won my case first time out if that's that makes any sense this is a long comment but I'm hoping that you read it and it becomes an inspiration to you to help me pray for my two friends Marianne and the menopausal lady need tremendous powerful prayer I know God can raise my friend Marianne and make her stand up straight I really believe that and I just adore her I mean I look up to her and she's younger than me I look up to her because not because of her knowledge of the Bible although she and I compete when it comes to the trivia that our church plays sometimes but I admire the fact that she just will not miss church part of that is out of fear she told me but whatever her reason is I'm just humbled that she can be in worse condition than myself and not make any kind of excuses to miss church it doesn't matter what the church meeting is about because we have two ladies Bible studies you know regular Sunday twice and Wednesday night we have a game night for everybody and everybody brings food and they play 42 and the other people play different games that don't enjoy 42 and we do that in our fellowship hall and then we have once a month the roadrunners that's for the you know older people mostly retired and we go someplace to eat once a month together and the fellowship is just truly incredible and we have a church of about 100 and they are faithful good tithers everything we have in a church is paid for we owe nobody anything and with the other money we support 25 missionaries around the world and my church where my brother is my pastor we also help every person in the church in one way or another of course usually with money they pay the rent or they need new tires on their vehicle whatever we can't do everything for everybody but my brother makes those decisions and the Bible teaches us that a man who gives a lot will never lack and I think that's the whole thing to our church as well to my brother's own investments because most of his life he worked secular jobs to support his family and the church now he does not have to work but that doesn't mean he's not out every single day serving the lord he just doesn't have to put a roof on I used to do roofing used to buy and sell cars he'd do anything to support his family and the church until the church was able to support himself but I'm just saying he used his money to invest his own money to invest and now he's very comfortable and he's very generous I mean I'm never even met a person that's as generous as he is except him he is exceptional not because he's my brother but because he is a true servant of God it's a I mean he's really kind gentle I live with him now and since his wife passed away the respect I get from him as a woman that I've never received before it really blows my mind I mean if I have a can of Coke and I said it on the table he'll open it for me I don't even ask him he just opens it for me and I'm thinking I can do that no he's a gentleman and he and he laughs a lot and he smiles a lot and he tells jokes and he's such a positive person but not like Joel Osteen which I don't know personally but I'm just saying he's such a wonderful pastor and I am just trying to figure out why we can't heal people yo some people get well of course anyway this is way too long I don't even know if it'll print just wanted to say something to you that this is an awesome channel I did subscribe and like God bless you also
Really found this inspiring...also realised as you spoke that the woman was bleeding for 12 years...the girl was 12years old..12 is the number of government...the revelation about the Roman boar symbol and Legion and the symbolism of overthrowing the Romans like God in the Exodus... Thank you🙌
In my research, I didn't see anything mentioned other than that it is a way of connecting the miracles of the woman and the child. There could be more, but I haven't come across it yet :-)
Brandon, Good insights. I always appreciate your videos. Another thought here: The woman who came to Jesus would have been recognized by those around her and they would have called her out. That's why she crawled to Him. Further, the Scripture says that she touched the hem of His garment. In doing that, she was acknowledging Who He was. Malachi said, The Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. (Mal. 4:2) The wings of a person's garment were the fringe that were commanded to be on the edge of their clothes. (Nub. 35:38) These were called the Tzitzit and they spoke of Who God was. As she reached for the Tzitzit of His garments she was declaring, I know that You are the Messiah, and because of that, there is healing in Your Tzitzit. It was a profound act of faith that she performed. And when Jesus recognized that virtue had gone out of Him, He looked to see who had drawn that from Him. And He said to the woman, your faith has made you well. It was more than desperation. It was more than touching Jesus. It was an act of faith that Jesus would recognized and declare her healing, so everyone who would condemn her for being there would know that she was healed.
There's a lot of depth to the account of the woman with the issue of blood. Being "unclean", she was suffering: - Physically -Financially (she spent all she had on doctors) - Spiritually (She was denied entry to worship and learn in the temple) Socially (She was an outcast with regard to her own family and her community) - Psychologically ( She was afflicted for 12 years and rather than getting better, grew worse, which has a profound psychologist effect.) Essentially, I believe Jesus brought all these broken parts of her life together in one single act. Interestingly, Jairus may have been the very person who kept her out of the synogoge and enforced the cleanliness laws. Many thanks for sharing your observations and for bringing these accounts alive in such a dynamic way Gods blessing on you, brother.👍
Just because this Galilean territory is predominantly Gentile, it is still part of the ancient Israelite patrimony, and some Jews lived among them, even as they did in the diaspora. Jesus came, in his public life, explicitly to reclaim the lost sheep of the House of Israel (ie the so-called Lost Tribes of the northern Galilean area). The association of a Roman Legion of 2000 soldiers, and the boar insignia they employed, is right on. Nevertheless, the demoniac cannot have been but of Jewish descent. Like the Samaritan Woman at the Well, his condition represents the decadence to which his fallen community had come. In John's Gospel, Jesus sends the Samaritan Woman back to her people to proclaim the Messiah, too, for reason you suggest. The link to the Passover Drama of Pharaoh's hosts, drowned in the Red Sea is certainly fair, since Jesus came to bring a renewed Passover. However, it cannot be overlooked that in Mark's Gospel Jesus anticipates the Roman Legion's devastation not only of Jerusalem, but of the Galilee, which Josephus tell us included thousands of its inhabitants being killed at the seaside, such that its waters ran red.(cf Rev. 16:4). This blood red water also has Passover resonances. Jesus presides over these souls, and their communities, in a judgment; either of mercy or otherwise, depending on their receptivity. Thank you.
I believe he went there not for Gentiles, but for the lost tribe of Gad… who relocated on the other side of the sea and started practicing pagan worship… Jesus said he came for the lost sheep of Israel… meaning the lost people of Israel and Gad was the lost tribe… Also Paul was assigned as the disciple to the Gentiles…
It is interesting to me how much we miss in the scriptures because we do not understand the context. One song I hate is Jesus, friend of sinners... he is NOT, and never was. Those he interacted with in His ministry directly were all Jewish decent. The woman at the well and the possed man were jewish. He came to seek those who were lost of the house of israel. Outside Jewish territory he could tell people to spread the news, but the prophecy said he would not in Jewish territory. The woman that was begging Jesus that he ignored WAS gentile because his disciples asked him to send her away. That gave him a license to talk to her

I am a 48 year old man and my body is failing me. I have struggled with my faith most of my life. My legs have recently just stopped working and I’m trying not to be angry and bitter. God has shown me great miracles and blessed me so much more than I have deserved. I appreciate your message so much and ask our father to continue blessing you and helping you with your servitude. All my love to you and yours brother.
God bless you. I understand. I have spinal damage and need to commit my pain into God’s hands on an almost daily basis. If it were not for morphine, I would not be able to walk. Instead of calling out into the darkness about why people were allowed to do this to me, about why the pain is not healed: I found many blessings in calling in the light, thanking God for trusting me with this trial and promising to love Him even if the pain gets worse. A priest told me one time to offer my pain up to God for the salvation of souls and that it should be used for this purpose. I feel better when I am thanking God and blessing Him for the pain. My 🙏 for you that you will be able to withstand everything that the devil throws at you. What satan means for harm, God means for your good. Genesis 50:20
I am praying for you, I know Jesus can still perform miracles even in 2023. I feel like God put it on my heart to tell you this. 💯 I heard "Get Up" not sure what the issues are with your legs but whatever your being told to do to help yourself just do it and try and don't give up !
Blessed be the lord that a blessing he has given and will give again May you Be blessed with the strength and love of God Amen Brother
Brandon, my wife and I enjoy your videos! We both accepted Christ as teenagers and have developed as disciples of Christ. But “The Chosen” and your videos have developed a deeper perspective of our faith! Your video reminds me of a praise song that we both sang in the 1980’s, “Humble thyself in the sight of the LORD….”
@@Devasthetherapist933 Blessed are the Blessed and unblessed are the unblessed and should the unblessed become blessed they will all be blessed
Thank you brother you just opened my eyes and my mind. Your explanation is so simple and beautiful. Even though I'm not Christian but I had loved Jesus from a very young age. I'm currently reading the bible to understand who Jesus is on own my own but some time I don't know what's going on. But today is the first I saw you at once I know Jesus has sent you to me to hear more about and Jesus and who God.
That's wonderful. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for ALL of our sins then you my friend are a child of God. Your comment reminded me of how I've felt before. Especially being raised in a southern Baptist church where we were taught we would go to hell if we sinned and we have to be and do good to get into heaven. That's so not God's desire for all of us. Anyways God bless you on your journey to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. We will meet in heaven.
ALWAYS thankful 🙏🏼 for God to use His servants here below. I believe in Jesus or Yeshua the Christ. He fought an entire system. He reigns victorious because He is God on earth 🌎. No one was there at the beginning of time to say that Jesus was not there. The Bible says Let US male man in OUR image. Love was when God became a man.
God bless you my brother Brandon. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼
Joshua 1:5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.
Keep feeding His sheep, sir.
YOU OPEN EYES AND EYES AND SPIRIT BROTHER THANK YOU !
Wow. .. some much more. Triple wow ,wow. 👍
Every time I read this chapter, i notice that the woman with the issue of blood was sick for the same amount of time as the girl who died had been alive(12 years). It seems to imply that as soon as the woman was healed the girl died, then Jesus went to her and brought her back to life.
Great connections. Always so good to see what the original audience comprehended.
The woman would have reached out for the tassels on his garment - the sign that he lived righteously iaw the Torah - held onto when praying & beseeching.
Has to be one of the BEST messages I've ever heard.
Wow. Thank you so much!
Well spoken…and true 🙏🏻🕊
Great lessons learnt, Brother. Well done. Learning will be complete only when I seek the Lord's help to apply the truth in my life.
You just did it again! What a Wonderful chapter is this indeed, thanks to you for thoroughly explained it in the most wonderful way. God bless you Brandon.
Hi Lina how are you doing
This is powerful.. Thank you for this insightful video lesson.
If only I could find a spiritual commmunity that teaches scripture like you do. You helped me to truly see this scripture! Thank you.
I pray that you will find one!
Am greatful for the work done❤
All are welcome.
Thank you for these questions, the clarity, and steps toward healing that only Jesus can give.
"You can't lay at the feet of Jesus and look down on someoone." Quite possibly the most significant thing of all you spoke.
"You can't look down on someone when you're lying at the feet of Jesus!" This really struck me and I'll remember it always. Great lesson.
Your right that goes straight to the heart/mind What a blessing this is
There are no coincidences only Godincidences
Yes Br. Me too.
Amen.
Amen powerful statement and true.
My oldest daughter, Julieanne, died in active military duty on 7/17/2002, and was buried next to my parents.Nine years ago, my three siblings, decided she was not worthy to rest next to them, because they did not approve of her service. They took me to court, and I was required to move her. However, God saw the situation differently, and she was moved to Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Praise God! 🙏
God bless you!
WOW! This is such a great story of God’s love! Thank you for sharing!!!❤
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! Many people do not understand that we do not have the right to judge each other.
A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to judge other people, even saying who will and who will not go to heaven. Just like the Pharisees, they are hypocrites.
In life, we have the right to remove ourselves from people who endanger us. That’s it. We have no right to judge the souls of others. Disagreeing with your daughters service, and therefore rejecting her, is not what Christ taught. Matthew 7: 1-6
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, and the insensitive reaction of your siblings. I’m glad God gave a wonderful solution to the problem. Praise him!
Just happened along this station, not Christian, but humbly ask I can stay, watch, and learn.
@jilly stewart Please continue watching these videos! My prayer is that you will find Jesus and come to love Him the way He loves you. I bless you with the truth! The truth will set you free!

Welcome. Jesus rejoices at your heart's desire. Please stay and hang on to Christ. Be loves us so. Don't forget that. He'll never let up go if you don't leave
Stay, listen and learn!
Jesus left us the Holy Spirit. He will speak to you.
He spoke to me and my life has forever changed.
Please do, and feel God's loving welcome!
By the way when the apostle says *"Humble yourselves before the Lord"*, the word humble literally means to reduce one's own stature, to reduce one's own height. I have often found that the best way to reduce one's own stature is by bending those knees. I hope the one reading this comment is blessed by this insight.
Thanks! it just answered a question lingering in my heart.
Thank you, I ALLways asked my self if I truly understand how to be truly humble
Thanks 😊 very much.
Advanced believers even bend the knees of their heart - after the circumcision of the heart.
Sujood
Almost no one preaches Scripture, no one teaches Biblical truths like you. I hear social commentary and discussion from many people, but very few teach Scriptural truth like you. You are a blessing.
I am a searcher of scripture & know much which u have shared, but however, u have shown me even more!! TY. I LOVE the word of GOD!!
Are you Christian?
What a great teaching. I do believe in order to fully understand the scriptures we need to know the history and culture of the events spoken of. Very enlightening.
Wow dude. I’m currently working at a Christian rehab and I’m a recovering addict myself. Great teaching watching you gives me more inspiration to teach and the way to do it thank you. The devil has been at me telling me my teaching ain’t good enough and I’m not good enough but I’m to reach addicts and I didn’t stumble upon this video for no reason. Awesome stuff dude may God bless you and your family.
Hey brother keep it up. You are doing an amazing job and I don't even know you. The battle against the flesh and spirit is really tough and very important to overcome. I love Yeshuah and I know where we are prophetically speaking. I've been using fentanyl meth Xanax for years. I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting clean. I don't want to be left behind when the Rapture happens. You are blessed to be sober. And you are being a blessing to others by teaching them tools to stay sober and hopefully The Gospel as well.
If u have iit in your heart to teach then teach. Ask God to take over and He will. Don't listen to the filthy bit of shit that tells u that ur not good enough. A pot has to he cracked in order for God's light to shine out.
Hang in there, brother. You don’t have to have a perfect presentation to make a positive impact on the lives of others. You are doing a very good thing. Over twenty years ago, Jesus Christ set me free; I was demonized, have struggled with some things myself, but I know that demons DO recognize the Lord Yeshua, aka Jesus Christ. When people see what He did for YOU, and hear from your own heart and mouth what changes have taken place because of the Lord Jesus, that is a powerful way to get them to listen to you. This brother did an amazing job of digging deeper into the meaning of this account, and pointed out things i never knew about the Legion reference. I have always felt akin to the demoniac, and how after being set free from demonic oppression, his only desire was to go along, leaving all behind, and just be with Jesus. I always loved this chapter, but i have an even deeper understanding now of the significance of the deed of casting the demons into 2,000 pigs, to be drowned in the sea. Just like Pharoah’s army. I never knew that. So i wish you strength and joy in the Holy Spirit as you continue to minister to other addicts. Addiction does have a spiritual aspect to it. Thank the Lord He set you and i and so many others, FREE. Be blessed and Shalom.
Thank you everyone
When the enemy gets going on all his crap thoughts just say "I doubt that". All we have to do is RESIST him .

Awesome lesson as usual. Thanks for taking the time to publish these. I know it is a lot of work. Specifically, I had never before made the connection between the demonic man in the Decapolis, the Roman 10th Legion and the Egyptian army. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks for that golden nugget.
He also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before their time. ♥️🙏 Amen.
@@morganophelia5963 But the swine immediately ran off the cliff into the sea, & died. Where did the demons go then? They begged to be cast into the pigs, but then the pigs died, wouldn't that be almost the same thing?
@@bloodybones63 out of the pigs to roam
Great speaker
They knew what Malachi 4:2 said about the Messiah having healing in His Wings (The Tallit is referred to as Wings. It was to have tassels on the 4 corners with a blue thread called Tzit Tzit).
I said it before and I'll say it again, Brandon has a way of teaching that truly brings the Scriptures alive. His way of teaching, in my estimation, is beyond great....it is splendid and I love it. He holds my attention throughout. Tov tov tov.
Once again, you bringh depth to the bible verses with so much knoeledge and detail focus. Amazing! God bless you! ❤
There was also a pagan temple right around there and the pigs were to be sacrifices to that pagan god. I don’t remember which one at the moment but when he did that the temple lost all the sacrifices 🙌🏻🔥💕 how amazing is God.

Amazing insights to Jesus. Brandon, I am poor in money, and rich in having heard you explain truth of Father Gods Word. Blessings always
Beautiful!! Two things that always amaze me about your videos: 1). how you notice details that I would think are small or insignificant and turn them into an exciting and important fact of the Bible!! 2).how you can keep your videos to 22 minutes but each word is filled with content. No word or thought is wasted. I watched it with my Bible , notepad and pen on hand!!! I am doing all your action steps as well! Thank you!! May God continue to Bless you.
I love that! I pray that God will bless you as you continue to study this chapter and go through the action steps!
Repeat visitor❤. It's different watching the video with pictures...not just headphones while making food.
Thanks Mr. Brandon.
I just studied Mark 4 through 6 this morning. This was the cherry on top. I subbed.
I saw Mark 7. I went back to watch Mark 5. Brandon, I saw and understood more than I did the 1st time I saw Mark 5. How Jesus had been worship. I knew the stories, and yet missed how the three how bowed at His feet. They knew His saving grace, He could offer. Oh my...my Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲❤
I love hearing this. I still amazes me how we can read a passage so many times, and there is still something yet to learn. I especially love how God used these two passages together to help you understand each better. Thank you for sharing!
Legion, is about 6000 demons, that how much demons this person had.
He is doing that now. he is helping me now. I see it. Trying to recieve his blessings. Hang with me. I working on it. In Jesus name amen.
I am 74 and slowly becoming a cardiac invalid. My heart rhythm is so irregular that I have no stamina, I have to rest after very little activity. (Go to grocery store, come home and take a nap before I can bring in the groceries.) I pray to God for the ability to accept my suffering and be gracious to people.
The woman with the "issue of blood" knew that she could be healed by the Messiah, because all Jews knew that the real Messiah would have healing in his "fringes" (tzitzyot) see Numbers 15, Deut 22, and the woman would have known Malachi's prophecy 4:2 that the messiah would have healing in his garment. Jesus told her she was healed by faith because she had faith in the word of God thru Malachi, and in the Torah Numbers and Deut. Don't tell a story how she may have heard of the events across the sea, that's nonsense, the boat travels faster than word of mouth. Her faith was in the promise made through the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus. You said you give tools needed, well the tools needed are in Malachi, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
@Scott Jenkins I never heard him say the woman believed she could be healed because she heard that happened to the demon possessed man. Why are you implying that?
@@cynthiafreudenberger1578 he does imply that the man freed from demons goes and tells people what happened and that "sets up what is about to happen next in this chapter" right around 10:30 is where he makes this "connection" which I also think is stretching things a bit. There is no way word of what he did would get back to where he goes next before him.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
All by......
WORD OF MOUTH.....
No,..... you are going beyond the scripture now, Jesus said Himself that He was ONLY sent to the lost sheep of Israel.. Matthew 15:24.
Jesus was not coming to save the Gentiles and give them the gospel message while He walked the earth.
Jesus Christ is all the promises and prophesies come true for Israel only, and it was through Israel that the Gentiles would have neen saved.. This is verified in Old Testament.
Today's church's don't understand the dispensation of grace that Paul preaches. It's a dispensation that was never made known to any of the OT prophets. This is the mystery that Paul speaks of so often.
thanks Brandon! I had no idea about the Roman legion boar symbol .
We praise You Jesus for coming to save the most wretched of us, the outcast, the non-Jews, the unclean, etc. Thank You Jesus for extending Your love and power far beyond nazareth -- to the ends of the Earth. Thank You for Your mighty POWER!! amen
The Jews may have believed the Messiah was only coming for them, but Isaiah and King David made it quite obvious that the Christ would save the gentiles as well.
The lord's name is 'I Am Who I Am, I Will Be Who I Will Be'. Mentioned in Exodus and Numbers. You can't miss it. That's very profound.
God bless .thankyou brother
God is good 🤗💕
Sending love from South Australia 💕🇦🇺
Thank you for your good teaching! I just noticed that the woman was ill for 12 years and the daughter of Jaïrus was 12 years old as well. The name of the occupying roman military force at that time was „Legion X Fretensis“ and its symbol was a male pig, see Wikipedia.
That was fantastic! I continually seek to know the cultural and historical background in order to truly understand the writers' intent. Good job brother!! Liked and subscribed :)
Oooooh, now I get the thumbnail!
You sneaky one
That is a brilliant thumbnail (and very well 'drawn').
We're all pigs and we're trying to hide it beyond our hard exterior. =)
I love your enthusiasm for God's word. I get a lot of insight from your videos. 😊
Great teaching & powerful quote,
“You can’t look down in someone when your laying at the feet of Jesus”
I am sitting here wondering why I’ve never heard this explanation? I am grateful I did hear it and give God the glory. I’ll be sharing this!!
Amen!! Love the Lord. Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments" this is true love, and it includes 4 commandments that deal with our relationship with God and 6 commandments that deal with loving our neighbor.
I pray for the 146 that thumbed this down.
The text says that Jesus and the disciples “needed to go to Garasines” and in the story, he calms the sea. He gets to the other side, delivers the demonized man, and turns right back around and goes back where he came from.
He went across the sea JUST to heal and deliver that demonized man.
He didn't go to the "Gerasenes." He went to get some KEROSENE. It was a cold day.
Keep reading and you will see that - the man who was healed by Christ Jesus testified about Christ in that town and the next time he went to that city they brought all the sick, lame and demon possessed to the Lord and He healed them all! That's why the Lord didn't take him back with them in the boat the first time, He knew the great multitude that would drawn to Him on His next trip to Garasines. Glory to God!
He also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before their appointed time.
@@morganophelia5963 I don't think he had mercy on the demons, He had a purpose. Why would there be so many pigs? Because the Jews were eating pork! When the people came and saw what Jesus did (that only God could deliver such a man) they recognized their condemnation for eating pork.
@@susanresig8452 how did he not have mercy upon them?? He did not send them to the abyss before their appointed time . So therefore he not only cured the possessed man but had mercy upon the demons as well by not condemning them before their appointed time , he in in fact granted there request , seems mightly merciful to me. Amen.

Such powerful videos. It feels like a direct 1 on 1 connection. Thank you brother.🙏🙏🙏
This was an awesome revelation!!! Thank you God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all that you are and share with us! "You can't look down on someone, when you are at the feet of Jesus!" Love this line, such wonderful truth!
You must consider... The Messiah was just not the Prothet... The Jews knew that the Messiah was King... A king who would Rule... Anyone who recognized him as the Messiah also recognized him as the King... Even Pontius Pilate first question was. Are You the King of the Jews? Anyone who approached a King and did not bow a knee would be killed. Philippians 2:10-11... What does he desire is obedience. and if you love him... Keep his commandments
This is some of the best teaching that I have ever heard, I had to subscribe. May God continue to bless you.🙏🏽
“Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.””
Mark 5:9 .
Many historians, believe the pig herders were Jewish, which means they were breaking Mosaic law (with illegal enterprise ) by keeping pigs,and selling/eating pork).
Either way - no demand of restitution, for the loss of the herd was requested or mentioned … Just a terrified request for Jesus to leave the area.
But-the man encountered Jesus! Was set free,and restored into his right mind! this was another example of the extraordinary extent Jesus went through, in order to save that which was lost, and to show with power that He is the Son of God most high.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus)have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
John 10
I really like him and his teaching but I disagree with the part about Jesus loving everyone and the demon possessed man even bowing down before Him. The DEMONS knew who He was and were afraid of Jesus and THEY are the ones that caused the man to fall down and "Worship." Not the demon possessed man himself. Secondly God does NOT love everyone and the proof is all throughout Scripture. One example you may be familiar with is "Jacob I loved but Esau I hated." He also gives an example of what a Church should do when troubled by a person IN the congregation who causes strife among the brothers which ends with him being cast out of the Church entirely. For example one who persists in LGBTQ and advocates for it's approval. No not everyone is welcomed or you have the destruction of Churches like we have so many of today and then it is ruined for everyone.
What I Love and have come to learn from scripture is that there is always multiple layers to GOD'S working.. it is mind blowing..GODS wisdom is awesome...
I come across your channel while surfing you tube aimlessly.I believe Jesus did this for me. You see,I am a devout Catholic but not at all well versed with the Bible.Your vlogs are all teachable moments for me,personally.

As a Christian I’ve always respected God’s chosen people. Overjoyed I’ve been adopted into the family. All praise and honor due the Lord Savior Messiah Jesus Christ. Hallelujah
I've always been somewhat off put by the concept of a "chosen" people. I do believe He is God, but am not totally comfortable with the anti-Gentile flavor of Scripture. Seems like a loving God should not play favorites with his "children". I would NEVER tell one of my kids I didn't love them as much as another of my kids. But, Christianity is the most sensible religion.
@@jsims1617 John 4:4 But God does not show partiality. He chose Jews to reveal His plan of salvation to the world. God does not show favouritism in that He wants all to be saved....
@@jsims1617 What seems right in the world is not right in God's eyes. The book of acts shows that Jesus rebuked Peter for believing gentiles were "unclean" and Gentiles also recieved the holy spirt along with the jews. (acts 1:17 The day of pentecost the Lord pourd out his spirit (the holy spirit) on ALL mankind. Religious people hardly know the meaning of scripture or the Hebrew parables.

@@mauricegibney8449 Yes, true. But kind of sad it needs to be said. Thanks for the post, I do appreciate it.
Please call HIM by HIS TRUE NAME, which by the way has the meaning of the very thing we all agree HE ALONE CAN DO. JESUS IS LIKE A OET NAME. HIS TRUE NAME IS BEAUTIFUL. DO NOT HIDE IT OR BE ASHAMED TO PROCLAIM OR USE IT. Be blessed. Good job young brother. I appreciate you.
I am seeking ONLY what JESUS can do! Profound teaching!
Learned something new
Hey Brandon this is 70-year-old female baby boomer I've been a Christian since age 6 wishy-washy in and out of church but at age 49 I came back to the Lord seeking his Mercy I definitely understand not being any better than anybody else and having the humble yourself before the Lord I'll tell you what a lot of people think that bowing before the Lord or anybody or humbling yourself before the Queen of England or whatever but humbling yourself to another person there is nothing that makes you more free than to let God take away your pride or give him your pride and humble yourself cuz the Lord is you know the ultimate that we should humble ourselves before but I'll tell you what I've never felt so happy I've never I didn't even really know what love was and now I just truly love everybody you know there's some people you have to kind of stay away from or maybe not be best friends with but you can still love them you can still pray for them somebody was praying for me does that make sense I know it does to you but I want to say something this was such an outstanding lesson I've never heard it preached anywhere near this I love the way you showed the maps and why you think it was the more Northern City which make common sense for the story for the rest of the story and wow knowing that the mass of the monster mascot whatever of the Romans was the boar pig absolutely blew my mind and I'm sure it will everybody that listens to this lesson now I have one request and I know you have a lot of followers and I know you probably do pray for your own liners everyday I'm just guessing that you're pretty good old boy and I mean an honest very good Christian man I'm old so I sometimes call people girls and boys LOL you're truly a man of God and I want to know if you will pray for my friend I have two friends actually they're very important one of them is going through menopause and she is having such a difficult time and personally she's just bleeding all the time enough that it keeps her away from people sometimes and she's a very good Christian lady she's actually my Sunday school teacher and friend very close friend actually should be my sister-in-law at some point my brother lost his wife to Parkinson's and so and he's a pastor so he feels like he needs to have a wife what he's a man anyway meaning most of us need a companion I don't... Anyway she needs prayer and I won't say her name also another friend whose name I will tell you Mary Ann... We've been friends since we were teenagers and through the years she became ill I forget what it's called cuz so many of those medical words are similar but her her back was one of those swaybacks that just progressively got worse and now she's literally like the lady in Luke chapter 12 I believe it is but she's bent in half she looks at the ground as she's walking and she follows the back of your feet so if we're going someplace I always walk in front of her and slowly because she has to use a cane just for balance but she also has problems with her neck even when she sits down she has a hole in her esophagus or something that just happened but she is such a wonderful person and she's an inspiration she gets going all the time she won't miss one church thing even if she has to be late she'll be there and I have health issues and quite a few I'm mentally good but you know I have back issues and I don't want to go into my health issues but enough that it keeps me from doing things sometimes quite a bit really and I ended up at 57 filing for social security disability and I won my case first time out if that's that makes any sense this is a long comment but I'm hoping that you read it and it becomes an inspiration to you to help me pray for my two friends Marianne and the menopausal lady need tremendous powerful prayer I know God can raise my friend Marianne and make her stand up straight I really believe that and I just adore her I mean I look up to her and she's younger than me I look up to her because not because of her knowledge of the Bible although she and I compete when it comes to the trivia that our church plays sometimes but I admire the fact that she just will not miss church part of that is out of fear she told me but whatever her reason is I'm just humbled that she can be in worse condition than myself and not make any kind of excuses to miss church it doesn't matter what the church meeting is about because we have two ladies Bible studies you know regular Sunday twice and Wednesday night we have a game night for everybody and everybody brings food and they play 42 and the other people play different games that don't enjoy 42 and we do that in our fellowship hall and then we have once a month the roadrunners that's for the you know older people mostly retired and we go someplace to eat once a month together and the fellowship is just truly incredible and we have a church of about 100 and they are faithful good tithers everything we have in a church is paid for we owe nobody anything and with the other money we support 25 missionaries around the world and my church where my brother is my pastor we also help every person in the church in one way or another of course usually with money they pay the rent or they need new tires on their vehicle whatever we can't do everything for everybody but my brother makes those decisions and the Bible teaches us that a man who gives a lot will never lack and I think that's the whole thing to our church as well to my brother's own investments because most of his life he worked secular jobs to support his family and the church now he does not have to work but that doesn't mean he's not out every single day serving the lord he just doesn't have to put a roof on I used to do roofing used to buy and sell cars he'd do anything to support his family and the church until the church was able to support himself but I'm just saying he used his money to invest his own money to invest and now he's very comfortable and he's very generous I mean I'm never even met a person that's as generous as he is except him he is exceptional not because he's my brother but because he is a true servant of God it's a I mean he's really kind gentle I live with him now and since his wife passed away the respect I get from him as a woman that I've never received before it really blows my mind I mean if I have a can of Coke and I said it on the table he'll open it for me I don't even ask him he just opens it for me and I'm thinking I can do that no he's a gentleman and he and he laughs a lot and he smiles a lot and he tells jokes and he's such a positive person but not like Joel Osteen which I don't know personally but I'm just saying he's such a wonderful pastor and I am just trying to figure out why we can't heal people yo some people get well of course anyway this is way too long I don't even know if it'll print just wanted to say something to you that this is an awesome channel I did subscribe and like God bless you also
Karen King. You can lay your hands on friends back and speak healing to it.
LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!!
You're right I'll never look at those Bible verses the same again awesome teaching absolutely awesome
I was in tears 😭😭😭😭 literally I was not humble enough!!
Brandon,
May God bless you and your website. Great insight and great blessings due to your channel.
Really found this inspiring...also realised as you spoke that the woman was bleeding for 12 years...the girl was 12years old..12 is the number of government...the revelation about the Roman boar symbol and Legion and the symbolism of overthrowing the Romans like God in the Exodus... Thank you🙌
The number 12 appears too often - years of bleeding, age of the daughter - does it hold any significance?
In my research, I didn't see anything mentioned other than that it is a way of connecting the miracles of the woman and the child. There could be more, but I haven't come across it yet :-)
Brandon, Good insights. I always appreciate your videos. Another thought here: The woman who came to Jesus would have been recognized by those around her and they would have called her out. That's why she crawled to Him. Further, the Scripture says that she touched the hem of His garment. In doing that, she was acknowledging Who He was. Malachi said, The Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. (Mal. 4:2) The wings of a person's garment were the fringe that were commanded to be on the edge of their clothes. (Nub. 35:38) These were called the Tzitzit and they spoke of Who God was. As she reached for the Tzitzit of His garments she was declaring, I know that You are the Messiah, and because of that, there is healing in Your Tzitzit. It was a profound act of faith that she performed. And when Jesus recognized that virtue had gone out of Him, He looked to see who had drawn that from Him. And He said to the woman, your faith has made you well. It was more than desperation. It was more than touching Jesus. It was an act of faith that Jesus would recognized and declare her healing, so everyone who would condemn her for being there would know that she was healed.
There's a lot of depth to the account of the woman with the issue of blood. Being "unclean", she was suffering:
- Physically
-Financially (she spent all she had on doctors)
- Spiritually (She was denied entry to worship and learn in the temple)
Socially (She was an outcast with regard to her own family and her community)
- Psychologically ( She was afflicted for 12 years and rather than getting better, grew worse, which has a profound psychologist effect.)
Essentially, I believe Jesus brought all these broken parts of her life together in one single act. Interestingly, Jairus may have been the very person who kept her out of the synogoge and enforced the cleanliness laws.
Many thanks for sharing your observations and for bringing these accounts alive in such a dynamic way Gods blessing on you, brother.👍
So much to learn from the profound insights...thank you
Just because this Galilean territory is predominantly Gentile, it is still part of the ancient Israelite patrimony, and some Jews lived among them, even as they did in the diaspora. Jesus came, in his public life, explicitly to reclaim the lost sheep of the House of Israel (ie the so-called Lost Tribes of the northern Galilean area). The association of a Roman Legion of 2000 soldiers, and the boar insignia they employed, is right on. Nevertheless, the demoniac cannot have been but of Jewish descent. Like the Samaritan Woman at the Well, his condition represents the decadence to which his fallen community had come. In John's Gospel, Jesus sends the Samaritan Woman back to her people to proclaim the Messiah, too, for reason you suggest.
The link to the Passover Drama of Pharaoh's hosts, drowned in the Red Sea is certainly fair, since Jesus came to bring a renewed Passover. However, it cannot be overlooked that in Mark's Gospel Jesus anticipates the Roman Legion's devastation not only of Jerusalem, but of the Galilee, which Josephus tell us included thousands of its inhabitants being killed at the seaside, such that its waters ran red.(cf Rev. 16:4). This blood red water also has Passover resonances. Jesus presides over these souls, and their communities, in a judgment; either of mercy or otherwise, depending on their receptivity. Thank you.
I believe he went there not for Gentiles, but for the lost tribe of Gad… who relocated on the other side of the sea and started practicing pagan worship…
Jesus said he came for the lost sheep of Israel… meaning the lost people of Israel and Gad was the lost tribe…
Also Paul was assigned as the disciple to the Gentiles…
It is interesting to me how much we miss in the scriptures because we do not understand the context. One song I hate is Jesus, friend of sinners... he is NOT, and never was. Those he interacted with in His ministry directly were all Jewish decent. The woman at the well and the possed man were jewish. He came to seek those who were lost of the house of israel. Outside Jewish territory he could tell people to spread the news, but the prophecy said he would not in Jewish territory. The woman that was begging Jesus that he ignored WAS gentile because his disciples asked him to send her away. That gave him a license to talk to her
Fascinating insights into a familiar story!
Glory to God amen thanks
