It's the summer of 1995, Greenwich, Ohio. Dorothy Van Buren of Wisconsin, whom my family had met at a conference in Baldwin, Michigan, loaned us her video camera.  Video camera's were, in that day, giant bulky things that looked like the kind of camera that NBC news might use. We were honored then to begin videotaping meetings at my house that, previous to this, we had only recorded on audio.

Watch the very beginning. There's my kids running up the stairs with Charlie Cronk's daughter Myanna.

See the podium I'm standing behind? That was made by Ted McDivitt's father, Bud McDivitt, who was a master craftsman when it came to all things wood.

My son Paul shows up in a big way at 4:18. What a cutie. He's three years old here.

You know, it's always a shock to hear that the Mosaic law will go forth from Zion. Ah--but the difference is that Israel is finally enabled to enact the law correctly, from a heart made of flesh. Her previous heart of stone, yet uncorrected by God, could never do anything right. To this day, Israel cannot do anything right. In fact, she does everything the opposite of right.

There is presently spiritual antagonism in the heavens. God is preparing the body of Christ to bring this realm in subjection to Christ.

This is really one of the best videos I've ever seen for understanding the basics of the differences between Paul's gospel to the nations and the gospel of the Jewish Messiah to Israel. Turns out I have been making sense for a living for a really long time. This is not so difficult to do when the Scriptures are so clear on the matter.

We must keep distinct what God has kept distinct.

I was new to this speaking business. Thus, I am all business. I'm proper throughout this video. But this makes for a really fine educational video.

The white board diagramming is very helpful. Rodney also adds his own screen, which brings out the color scheme that cannot be seen on the black and white video.

I really like that black strip I drew on the side of my Rotherham Emphasized Bible. If you don't know what I'm referring to (how could you?), you'll find out in this video. I mean, it's pretty startling.

The point is that the bulk of Scripture does not deal with the celestials. I think it's really cool that, thirty-one years later, on MZTV, I’m looking into this issue and realizing that perhaps there is more revealed about our roles in the celestial realm than we first imagined.

At the end of the video I pray, "Lord, give us the grace to share this message (of distinctions) with others." I notice that, thirty-one years later, God has certainly honored this prayer.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me share this message with others. It would not be possible without you. And that is no joke.

Grace and peace from the Floridan peninsula,

Martin
