Missing For Three Days Pt. 2: The Heart of The Earth

Jesus was absent from the body for three days and three nights. His Spirit went to Heaven, to the Father. His body was laid in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. His soul then departed to Paradise, but is that where Jesus spent the entire 3 days and 3 nights? What was Jesus doing in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? What was His mission? What was His goal? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he goes even deeper into Jesus’ journey to the depths (Sheol/Hades) in his Bible Study, Missing For Three Days Pt. 2: The Heart of The Earth.

Missing For Three Days Pt. 2

The Heart of The Earth

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.”

Matthew 12:38-41

4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When He ascended on high He led a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Ephesians 4:4-10

Missing For Three Days Pt. 1: The Sign of Jonah

Throughout His ministry, Jesus prophesied about His death. When the people asked for a sign, Jesus told them the only sign they would receive was the sign of Jonah. Many believe this sign told us where Jesus was for three days and three nights, but is this true? And if it is, what is the sign of Jonah, and what does it mean? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture for the True meaning of Jesus’ words and where He went when He died in his video, Missing For Three Days Pt. 1: The Sign of Jonah.

Missing For Three Days

The Sign of Jonah

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man [Jesus] be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Matthew 12:38-42

1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.

Soul Ties

We see many different opinions about romantic relationships today. Many believe that all is permissible and good as long as it is between two consenting adults. Others believe there are boundaries that should not be crossed. There are also those who believe that certain relationships create a deeper connection between two people called soul ties, but what exactly does that mean? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture for the Truth in her video, Soul Ties.

Soul Ties

18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man He made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

What Was The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Throughout Scripture, Satan is the adversary of the people of God. He is the tempter of mankind. Lately, there is a new movement in the world and in the church that Satan is misunderstood and villainized by mainstream Christianity. What evidence do they present for this claim? The Serpent, Satan, in the Garden of Eden and his persuasion of Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree. Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the Truth behind Satan’s role in the Garden of Eden and the forbidden tree in her video, What Was The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil?

What Was The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil?

The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil Forbidden By God In The Bible

15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Genesis 2:15-17

The Temptation of Eve To Eat From The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil In The Bible

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.

Genesis 3:1-6

The Outcome of Eating From The Forbidden Tree In The Bible

7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”

What Should Christians Do On Halloween?

Once a year, many Christians get together and celebrate a holiday whose origins are from pagan traditions. Even though Halloween’s origins are pagan, some Christians believe that if they celebrate it without the same amount of darkness as the world, then that’ll be okay. But is that true? If Christians aren’t supposed to celebrate Halloween, what should we do on Halloween? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shows us Christian alternatives to the pagan traditions of Halloween in his video, What Should Christians Do On Halloween?

October 31st, Halloween

What Should Christians Do On Halloween?

14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, 18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Who Was Mary Magdalene?

Mary Magdalene is one of the most well-recognized women and followers of Jesus mentioned in the Bible, but how well do we actually know Mary Magdalene? There are many teachings about Mary Magdalene that focus on her past and who she was before Christ and the extreme change after Christ, but are these teachings well rooted in Scripture? Does the Bible ever call Mary Magdalene a prostitute or adulterer? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture for the true identity of Mary Magdalene in her video, Who Was Mary Magdalene?

What Does The Feast of Trumpets Foreshadow?

According to Scripture, the Law and the Prophets are foreshadowing the good things to come. That would then include the different feasts recorded in the Law. If the different feasts all foreshadow an event in the future, what does the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) foreshadow? Join Rev.

What Does The Feast of Trumpets Foreshadow?

The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah)

1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.

Hebrews 10:1

23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord.”

Friday The 13th Pt. 2: The Curse

Friday the 13th is the most feared day, coming once or twice a year. This day strikes fear into the hearts of many people. It has become infamous with bad luck as if the day itself has been cursed.

The Curse

1 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 And Job said: 3 “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man is conceived.’ 4 Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. 5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 6 That night—let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7 Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it. 8 Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up Leviathan. 9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning, 10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.”

Why Did Reuben Sleep With Bilhah?

Jacob, later renamed Israel, had 12 sons. These 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel. The eldest of these was Reuben, son of Jacob’s first wife, Leah. When Reuben grew older, he slept with his father’s concubine, Bilhah, but why? Why would Reuben sleep with the mother of his two younger brothers, Dan and Naphtali?

Why Did Reuben Sleep With Bilhah?

The Story of Reuben and Bilhah In The Bible

16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. 17 And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.” 18 And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. 19 So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), 20 and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day. 21 Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder. 22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. 23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. 24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant: Dan and Naphtali. 26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

Genesis 35:16-26

3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the firstfruits of my strength, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power. 4 Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it—he went up to my couch!

God The Father

43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 5:43-45

21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Matthew 7:21-23

10 And He called the people to Him and said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
