Deuteronomy 10:16, what does circumcision point to? So, circumcise your heart and stiffen your neck no longer. Physical circumcision of males, notice not women, thank the Lord. Circumcision points to the need for God to circumcise your hardened, wicked, sinful minds, desires, your flesh enslaved to sin. Because if he doesn't circumcise you inwardly, spiritually, not with human

hands, it's over for you. See that? Deuteronomy 30:6, moreover, Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, meaning he's going to cut off those sinful proclivities, tendencies, that you wrestle with. And succumb to. And the heart of your seed to love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, so that

you may live. All right, still not convinced cuz I know you guys are haters. Jeremiah 4:4, circumcise yourselves to Yahweh. Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh. Remove the foreskins of your heart. Notice, only males were physically circumcised cuz you're going to see why. Men of Judah and happen in Jerusalem, lest my wrath go forth like fire, burn

with none to quench it because evil of your deeds. Still not convinced? If God doesn't circumcise you, right? Spiritually, then you're going to constantly rebel and resist. You men, stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, are always resisting the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. So, now the question is, when do we get

circumcised spiritually? And how does it tie with Christ? I'm going to tie it in, man, I promise you. Just stop the hate. Romans 2:28-29, what is true circumcision? For he is not a Jew who is one inwardly, nor circumcision that which is outward in the flesh, but he is a Jew who is one

inwardly. Circumcision is that is which is of the heart by the spirit, not by human hands, not by the letter. And his praise is not from men, but from God. I'm going to mention a disgusting practice in a minute that was only enjoined by rabbis late in history. I believe in the medieval period.

No evidence of the rabbis doing it in the time of Christ, okay? You'll see in Ashworth will confirm. Philippians 3:1-3, finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me. It is a safeguard for you. Beware of the dogs. Verse three, for we are the

circumcision, not them who worship the spirit of God, literally, and who boast in Christ Jesus, put no confidence in flesh. So, what is the sign that you are the truly circumcised? What is the evidence you've been truly circumcised? You brag on Jesus. You glorify Jesus. You magnify Jesus. That is one of the necessary

signs that you've been born again, spiritually circumcised. You glorify Christ, delight in Christ, magnify Christ.

See that? So, how do you know you're circumcised spiritually? Born of the spirit. You glorify Christ. You magnify Christ. You delight in Christ. YOUR JOY'S IN Christ and you can't imagine life without him. Right there. All right. When do you get circumcised? That's the question. Colossians 1:13, in whom, in Christ, because of Christ,

by Christ, for the sake of Christ, you're also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands. Not physical circumcision circumcision. And the rule of the body of the flesh, meaning that sinful proclivity. That's what he means by flesh. And the circumcision of Christ. Note here, it's Christ who spiritually circumcises you, right? But over here he said it's the Holy

Spirit. You see, it's the work of the Trinity. If the Father spiritually circumcises you, then the Son and the Spirit are involved cuz when they act, they all act together. So, the Spirit circumcised you. Jesus Christ circumcised you. It's the work of the Trinity. Having been buried with him in baptism, uh-oh. Your circumcision takes place in water

baptism, in which you're also raised up with him through faith in the working of God, who raised you from the dead, and you being dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him, having graciously forgiven us all our transgressions. All right. What is your circumcision? When you're born anew,

right? Born anew, born from above, buried to your old sinful nature, and raised spiritually into a new creation. When does that take place? In water baptism. But, who ushered in the new creation? I need you to listen. Who ushered in the new creation? Who is the first fruits, the first one to be raised immortal as a man,

transforming humanity, making human nature and physical bodies immortal? Christ. He's the first fruits. Here it is. Now, watch why circumcision was administered to young males on the eighth day. Watch. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, but now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man

also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive, but each in his own order. Christ was the first of the new creation. He raised humanity, glorified humanity, glorified our physical bodies, making them immortal by his physical resurrection, so he's the first,

right? Everyone got it? He's the first. After that, those who are Christ's at his coming. So, when he comes, he will then glorify your humanity, and if you're dead, he'll raise your body, and you'll live in bodies that are immortal. No more sin. We see that, right? 1 Corinthians 15:45-49, so also it is written, the first man

Adam became a living soul, little translation. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. As God, his nature is spirit. The divine nature is spirit. It's not physical, material, corporeal. So, as spirit, as God, in relation to his divine nature, which is spiritual, he can give you life cuz he's the God-man. However, the

spiritual is not first, but the natural. What does that mean? Who came first? The first Adam? No. No, you can't do that, lady. No, lady, you can't do that. Because they'll tell you, why don't you do it on the eighth day? And why don't you do it only to males? You can argue that there's a

principle that children infants can be included, but if they press you on it, well, it's only males on the eighth day, why don't you then baptize on the eighth day? But yes, it it's a principle that even infants can be included in the covenant blessings. But as an exact correspondence, no. Cuz it's only males and it's got to be

on the eighth day. You with me there? Yes and no. But that's not the one you're going to use. Be patient. Who came first? The soulish man of the dust, or the one from heaven who is spirit by nature, meaning God by nature? Adam, right? So, what Paul is saying is that the

soulish man, the man of dust came first because Christ is not from the earth. He's not from dust. He's from heaven. And who is he? He's the Lord from heaven. Let me show you. Okay? However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, right? He came first, right? Everyone got what Paul is saying? Which

Adam came first? The one from dust, who's earthly, or the one from heaven, who is spirit by nature, cuz he's God by nature, and the divine nature is spiritual, not physical, corporeal. And he became man. Well, you get it now. As was the man of dust, so also those who are made of dust. If we're from

Adam, we return to dust. And as the heavenly man, so also those were heavenly. But if you belong to the last Adam, you belong to a Christ, you are now heavenly. And heaven will come down to the earth. And as we have born the image of the man of dust, we are an image of Adam, we

shall also bear the image of the heavenly man. Now watch again, however the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. That's why he's spirit by nature. See it? So what does that mean?

Who is the one that ushered in spiritual circumcision, if you can still hang? Who is the one who is spiritual by nature, who came last? Jesus. Who is the Lord from heaven that became flesh? Jesus. Who then ushered in the new creation of a glorified humanity? Humans who will be made immortal? Jesus.

By being the first one raised. That's why there's a promise that if you endure in Christ and not fall away, here's the promise. Philippians 3:9-11. And be found in him and only in Christ, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but which is through the faithfulness of Christ, little translation.

The righteousness which is from God by faith. That I might know him, meaning know Jesus intimately, personally, experience him, and experience the power of his resurrection. That that power that raised him, I will experience it in my own life. That power transforming me, energizing me, and then making me immortal. I want to experience that

power. See what he says? I want to experience that power. I want to experience it first hand. I want that power in me to energize me, empower me, transform me, save me, and preserve me. That power that made him immortal. But notice, for me to have that power, guys, pay attention. No cross, no glory.

I must share in his sufferings. I cannot share in his resurrection life and that power that made him immortal if I don't share in his suffering, humiliation, crucifixion. You can't have one without the other. No easy believism. No name it, claim it. See that? You can't have his glory and glorification if you're not willing to suffer for him,

be humiliated for him, beaten for him, and killed for him. You must carry your cross daily. Christianity is not a message of easy believism, sadly. Sad to say. Then then I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. You can't have one without the other. But again, if you then endure and if

you're alive when he comes or you're dead, here's the promise. We don't belong to the world, so we don't desire things of the world, and we don't live for the things of the world cuz this world's going to be transformed. Wickedness destroy, all evil removed, and only the righteous will dwell, and heaven will come down on

earth. For our citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20-21. From which we also eagerly await for the savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. We wait for him to come down physically. And if we're alive when that happens, then he will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body, his body of glory. You see the

promise? You see why he's the first fruits? You see why he's the one who began the new creation of a glorified humanity? He's the head. Destroyed death by this Sunday resurrection. That's what you're celebrating, Orthodox Syrian church. As a proof and guarantee to all of you, you will not remain dead physically. You will be glorified in your bodies. He

created you to have bodies. You're embodied spirits. You won't live without your bodies. But those bodies will be glorious like his, immortal like his, morally incorruptible like his. But how is he able to do it? By that power that he possesses as God. That power which enables him to bring everything under his control.

That's almighty power. See how glorious your Bible is? This is the power that Paul begs to be filled with. It's not just the power for the future. This is the power you must depend on now. Ask for now, God, empower me to resist sin. Empower me to turn away from sin. Empower me to obey you. Empower me TO BE

IMPRISONED. EMPOWER ME TO BE BEATEN. Empower me to be killed cuz I can't do it. I'm telling you I can't. I'll betray you cuz I'm a coward. That's what he's talking about. See what he's talking about?

Is your Bible glorious? The message of the cross, though painful, glorious? So it's not just the power for the future. It's the power that Paul says, I need every day. I experience every day. That's why you can't trust in yourselves, depend on your strength. You're not going to make it, dude. I'm letting you know we're not going to

make it. I've done pitiful things and shameful things and continue to do so even as I love Jesus and I love the Lord. I do want to love him. I pray he owns my heart. I love my Lord. I fail him. Who ushered in spiritual circumcision? Who brought in the spiritual circumcision, which is the

new creation of humans being transformed, cut off from sin, and glorified? Who ushered in? Jesus ushered in, here's what I want you to listen. Spiritual watch here now, circumcision on Sunday, [snorts] which is the first day of a new creation, which is the eighth day because it is the day after Sabbath, which is the seventh day.

You see it all ties into Jesus?

The reason why hope in Christ males eighth day, Jesus is a young male, and he was raised on Sunday, the first day of the week, being a picture of the first day of the new creation to come cuz he's the first fruits. And it's the day after Sabbath, meaning it's not the Sabbath that makes you new

creation. It's the eighth day. That's why the eighth day. You see how it points to Christ again? Why it says all these things are a shadow? It's not the Sabbath that gives you everlasting rest. It's the eighth day that gives you everlasting rest, brings in spiritual circumcision, makes you a new creature, the eighth day, which is Sunday, the

first day of the new creation. That's why males, not females, males got circumcised on the eighth day cuz they were pointing to Christ, the male, the young male, the young male son of God being raised on the eighth day to bring in spiritual circumcision. It's all about Christ. Now there's a medical benefit

on circumcising eighth day. Go and Google this. Sheikh Google and the greatest alum, Brock, will tell you medical fact. The best day to circumcise a boy is the eighth day because that's when your body has produced the optimal level of vitamin K. Vitamin K is a blood clotting agent. It prevents excessive bleeding.

See God's wisdom? The eighth day. Eighth day is where your body has reached its optimal vitamin K, and vitamin K prevent prevents blood excessive blood bleeding. Eighth day. You see God who created your body and the mechanisms of your body knows what day to do circumcision because he deliberately designed your body to reach its optimum level of

vitamin K on the eighth day to point to Christ. That's how amazing your God is.
