I'll read to verse 10 and we'll get into our study tonight as we continue our verse by verse study here in the book of Hebrews The writer writes for every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God That he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray Since he himself is also beset by weakness Because of this he is required as for the people so also for himself to offer for sins And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God just as Aaron was So also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest But it was he who said to him you are my son today I have begotten you and as he has also said in another place You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with vehement cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death and Was heard because of his godly fear though. He was a son yet. He learned obedience by the things which he suffered and Having been perfected he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him Called by God as high priest according to the order of Melchizedek now We're going to be looking at Jesus Christ as he's presented to us as our high priest as I've mentioned to you before in the Old Testament the priests were like bridge builders to God They represented God to man and man to God It was almost as if they acted as ushers bringing people into the presence of God People could not come directly to God. So the Lord gave them priests and the priests would mediate They'd offer daily as well as yearly sacrifices on behalf of the people And so because that was true in the Jewish religion a Jewish individual might ask somebody else Well, who is your mediator who mediates between you and God? Especially a Jewish person speaking to a messianic or a Jewish Christian They would say listen. We have in the Old Testament our mediators. We have the priests and we have the high priest We have somebody could usher us into the presence of God. Who do you have? Who is it that you look to who can mediate for you? How are your sins going to be forgiven if you have no high priest entering into the holy of holies and offering the blood sacrifice on a yearly basis on the day of atonement if you don't have a mediator Then who makes those sacrifices for you? And so to these questions the Christian would point to Jesus Christ as our priest and as our mediator This is not by the way simply an Old Testament question that could be asked by a Jewish individual to a Jewish believer at his time And that question is asked even to this day in different forms Perhaps many of you might know that the Mormon Church has a system of priests They believe themselves to be descendants if you will they have ironic priesthood and all and they consider themselves to have a priesthood and so I Remember on one occasion many years ago now having a young Mormon missionary speaking to me and and asking me the same question Who's your mediator? Because I had spoken to him and I had asked him. Why are you trying to bring me into the Mormon Church? What do you have to offer me and their response the young man's response was We have the priesthood and I remember pointing out this particular passage by saying to them I have a priest Jesus Christ who is my high priest That was the answer that was given by Jewish Christians 2,000 years ago That's the answer that believers give to this day We have somebody who is our mediator and that person is the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus is the one who brings us to God now. He made that statement himself. We all know the scripture John 14 verse 6 I am the truth the way in the life. No man comes to the father But by me, but that's not the only place that is pointed out It's also pointed out in 1st Timothy chapter 2 verse 5 There's one God and one mediator between God and men and that is the man Christ Jesus We see that in Romans chapter 8 verse 34 who is he who condemns it is Christ who died Yes, rather that is risen again who is even at the right hand of God who also makes intercession for us We see it in 1st Peter 3 18 Christ also has once suffered for sins The just for the unjust that he might bring us to God being put to death in the flesh But quickened by the Spirit we see that in 1st John chapter 2 verses 1 and 2 My little children these things right I unto you that you sin not and if any man sin We have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous He is a propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world So the writer here wants us to know that we have a mediator and it really answers the question Who is your priest who brings you to God? And that's what we're going to be looking at today as he speaks concerning Jesus Christ Who is our mediator who is our high priest now in the first four verses here? And we'll look at those in together he begins to speak concerning the qualifications of the high priest He actually gives us four qualifications in these four verses four qualifications for the high priest And we'll look at those one at a time one he points out that it is God who appoints the high priest To he points out the high priest is taken from among men Three he points out that the high priest understands human weakness and for he points out that the high priest offers Sacrifice on behalf of people God appoints him. He's taken from among men He understands human weakness and he offers sacrifice That's what we see in the first four verses here, and it's all applied to Jesus Christ Now the first thing we note in verse one is it says it this way every high priest is taken from among men That word taken is another word for chosen selected the high priest was selected by God Taken from among men and it's very clear who does that because in verse four he tells us no man takes this honor to himself But he who is called by God and so the first thing he's pointing out is that God appoints the high priest in other words High priesthood was not something that you studied for it wasn't something that you received through selfish ambition It wasn't something that you plan to have From the very beginning the high priest was an individual selected to that position by God himself You can see that with the very first high priest in the Old Testament a man by the name of Aaron Aaron was the brother of Moses and was the first high priest and was specifically Selected by God if you take notes Exodus chapter 28 verse 1 points that out in the Old Testament It says have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites along with his sons Nadab and Abiyu Eliezer and Ithamar so that they may serve me as Priests so the first thing he points out is that the high priest is selected by God Ministry serving the Lord is always by selection and God selected the high priest I can remember when my son David was a little boy Very little boy just six or seven years of age. I'll never forget what he said to me one day He said you know dad When I'm an older man, I'm gonna take the church over And I said oh really he said well, yeah, just think about it You don't have to change the name in the bulletin you can still be pastor David Well, I said that's a great thing son and and all of that And then it would be a thrill for me to be able to hand over my ministry to you and God knows I'd love to do that But I don't select the pastor of the church God does and you can't study for that and you can't prepare yourself to be the pastor of the church or a pastor period Well, if it's true being selected as a pastor It is more true if you will being selected as high priest and that's the point that was being made one He was saying listen You need to know and remember that every high priest is actually chosen by God selected by God God is the one who makes that choice and Remember with me. He's saying remember Aaron and remember the priesthood in the Hebrew religion and and remember how God is the one who selected Aaron and God continues to select the priest So the point he's making here is Jesus Christ was appointed by God to be the high priest Jesus in other words had been selected now. He makes it clear various times. We see it in verse 4 We see it in verse 5. We see it in verse 6 and verse 10 It's repeated for emphasis making it clear that Jesus Christ is selected by God And so Jesus is appointed by God The second thing he points out is every priest is taken from among men In other words a priest must partake in the nature of the ones for whom he officiates and only a man can understand human nature and human Temptation and this was in a place for a for an angel an angel could not do that because an angel does not have human nature An angel cannot be a high priest cannot be a mediator because an angel does not have human nature and therefore doesn't understand human weaknesses You need to keep that in mind once again because Jehovah's Witnesses will tell you that Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel They teach that that Jesus is Michael the archangel the name Michael means who is like God and they have a very large Contrived argument to try and demonstrate to you that Jesus is the first creation of God is Michael the archangel but the fact is he was chosen from among men because men have human nature and Therefore the high priest had to be a person of human nature which brings us to the third thing that he understands human weakness He has compassion according to verse 2 on those who are ignorant and going astray So he understands human weakness He has compassion on the ignorant and those going astray because it says he himself is also beset or subject to by weakness So a high priest is a human being therefore. He understands human weakness Messiah needs to sympathize with human weakness to adequately present a man to God See you don't have a savior. You don't have a Messiah that is out there and distant You know sometimes we may be thinking of God in that way We think that God is just so far and so distant from us that he doesn't understand us and that's just not true at all One of the things the Holy Spirit has been trying to teach me for many years is that he understands me That he understands everything about me and the way that I know that his scripture reveals that and then I take into consideration That as a human being he went through a variety of things as a human being that I do too He was subject to the same things in other words. He got hungry like I do he got thirsty as I do He got sleepy as I do he understood all of those things and therefore has sympathy and so the Lord Jesus Christ Understands us now the high priest being a human being obviously understands other human beings He was prone to sin and therefore and you'll see this in a moment would offer sacrifice for himself as well as the people Jesus on the other other on the other hand was never in sin never did sin and and therefore could sympathize with our weaknesses But never experienced the sin that we that we have to combat But the thing is a human high priest was sympathetic because he understands weaknesses that gives him the ability to have compassion On somebody who's hurting Why because he went through the same kinds of things. I have a friend of mine. He's in our fellowship His name is Renato. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this. I don't I don't think he would Renato and Renato comes to our fellowship. He's the lead singer for two or more and and we were yesterday We were together with his brothers and and the rest of the group at the men's conference and And as I was seated They're waiting for my opportunity to go up and and share and all I had just been told that that Renato's Grandmother went home to be with the Lord. She was a few days short of a hundred and five years of age Yeah, the Lord blessed her with many years in life and that's wonderful and and all But you might find this to be a blessing and he was rejoicing and it his mama got his grandma got saved when she was 95 95 years old God is sure good and compassionate and very patient 95 years But grandma gave her heart to Christ and but she died a couple of days ago three days ago now and and Renato came and was seated next to me and And I and I was aware of the fact that his grandmother had just gone home to be with the Lord just two days before and and As he sat next to me He began to share with me a little bit about his grandma and and how his dad was there yesterday at the Conference and and how dad felt losing his mom and you know those kinds of things and and as he's sharing with me I began to share with him some things and and and some things that I've learned personally through the loss of those whom I love and and as I was sharing with him Yeah, I understand exactly what you're feeling like because he said you know he goes I've never lost anybody a friend a relative anybody I've never Seen them die. He said this is the first time in my life that I have seen Somebody like my grandmother Die he said and and I'm and I'm shaking and and as he's speaking to me He does what anyone would do he begins to weep and the tears are pouring down his face and and and I reach my arm around him I hope you don't mind me explain to them I put my arm around him and I held him in my arms and and as and he just he composed himself And I just put my arms around him and and I shared with them and and I shared the things that God has taught me about that You see that's what he's saying here.  What are you whining about? You know stiff upper lip. Don't you have any faith the high priest wasn't that way at all? Why because he was taken from among men because he understands weaknesses He understands loss he has compassion and and that was a high priest and and the writer is saying You know you have a human high priest, but you have Messiah who is your high priest and and Jesus Christ Understands those things. No, he never sinned of course. He didn't remember chapter 4 verse 15 Which reads we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with with our weaknesses But was in all points tempted as we are yet without sin Jesus never sinned He never participated in man's sin though. He does understand men's feelings Jesus was was one who committed no sin and Jesus Christ takes our sins away and in him according to 1st John 3 5 There is no sin, but he can deal gently with the ignorant and those going astray and have sympathy now in verse 2 when he says the ignorant and those going astray It's another way of saying ignorant those who sin not by choice, but By mistake there are there are times that we can actually Break a law without even knowing that we that we are you know that to be true if you've been pulled over by a police officer And the officer says why you did you do this and you can look at them and you can say What are you talking about? I didn't do that. Yes, you did. We saw you Well, it's that against the law. Oh, yeah, there's a law in this in this city or this county that says you can't do that Oh, well, that was my mistake I didn't intend to do that many of us have tried to argue ourselves out of tickets that way and Sometimes we actually didn't mean to do that. That's an ignorant thing But you still broke the law ignorance of the law is no excuse And so he speaks concerning that he says you can be ignorant the ignorant who sinned by mistake But he also speaks of those who are going astray interesting way of putting it Those who are being led astray literally is what he's talking about Those who have been influenced who are moving away from doing the right thing And so he deals gently with the ignorant and those going astray and has sympathy with them In other words, he treats them with compassion because they are unintentionally going in the wrong direction Now because of this according to verse 3 he's required as for the people so also for himself to offer for sins And so what he does is he makes an offering an offering for sins He offered gifts and sacrifices and that's what the the priests would do When he gave the gifts that would be grain offerings It could be financial offerings unto the Lord that he would offer it, but it was bloodless when he made sacrifice Those are sin offerings now these sacrifices didn't eradicate a person's ability to sin But provide forgiveness for them because they have sin and so the priests would offer sin offerings And and what he would do is he'd offer sacrifice for himself as well as for the sins of the people Revealing that he has relationship with them as a human being That's what it means in verse 3 when it says because of this he's required as for the people So awful also for himself to offer for sins verse 4 and no man takes this honor to himself But he who is called by God just as Aaron was so he returns to the thought of verse 1 by pointing out very specifically That the Lord Jesus Christ was anointed by God to be the high priest now He's developing all of this and now it's gonna go a little bit further verse 5 So also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest But it was he who said to him you are my son today. I have begotten you as He also says in another place. You are a priest forever according to the order of Malchizedek And so he answers the question how can Jesus be high priest? Remember with me and some of you are familiar with this already perhaps some of you aren't aware of this yet The high priest was taken from a certain tribe The tribe that the high priest was to be taken from is the tribe of Levi The tribe of Levi was a tribe that Aaron was from the nation of Israel being broken into 12 specific tribes The Levitical tribe is the priestly tribe. Here's the question Jesus Christ is not of the tribe of Levi. How can he be a high priest? Jesus came from Judah and because he's from a different tribe the question obviously would be asked listen if God selects the high priests from among men Who are from the Levitical background? How is it possible that he would be referred to as a high priest? Because he isn't from Levi. How did Jesus Christ become the high priest if he's not a Levite? And so the answer is the priesthood is not after Levi, but actually predates Levi Now how did that happen? Well, he makes reference to somebody named Malchizedek Malchizedek is one of those really interesting people in scripture that that basically basically they appear and they Disappear and you don't have a lot of information about this guy Malchizedek You see him in the book of Genesis you see him in the Psalms and you see him several times here in the book of Hebrews a Man by the name of Malchizedek But what is happening here is the writer is saying listen the order of priesthood that Jesus Christ is part of is not Levitical but predates the Levitical because Malchizedek was an individual who went to Abraham and Abraham the father of the Jewish nation actually Regarded him as priests of the most high God and even offered sacrifices and gave to him offerings and so his point is is that Jesus Christ is other after an older order in Genesis chapter 14 verse 18 The Bible speaking of Malchizedek says that he was a king of ancient Salem When you see Salem in the Old Testament, that's another name for Jerusalem So Malchizedek was the king of ancient Jerusalem is the point that he's making in Psalm 110 verse 4 which is a messianic Psalm It says the Lord has sworn and will not relent you are a priest forever according to the order of Malchizedek being a messianic Psalm that simply points out that Jesus Christ followed a different priestly order Now this man lived centuries before Aaron and and his priesthood Interestingly enough, and it's almost I'm almost wishing that I did just in a full study on McKizadek as I'm speaking to you now because I'm thinking of things that I could have told you But you don't know what I'm thinking so it doesn't matter does it Malchizedek I'm gonna slow down and give you a few things Very interesting man. He appears before us in Genesis Abraham the father of the Jewish nation offers him sacrifices And he basically disappears You'll see more of him later on in chapter seven, but he basically disappears from the scene And yet he is the priest of the most high god And he's the king of Salem Malchizedek means king of righteousness Salem king of peace Malchizedek the king of righteousness the king of peace is a type we'll see this later on I have to be careful not to get ahead of myself He is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ That's the point that's being made here by the writer of Hebrews He is a type Jesus Christ answers to certain elements that you see in him The interesting thing about him as I mentioned earlier is you see him mentioned in Genesis 14 You see him mentioned in Psalm 110 But you never see him again He appears on the scene and disappears But he is used as a type because he has no genealogy having neither father nor mother He says later on which is a picture of the eternality of christ In the sense of jesus's inhabiting eternity And so they use malchizedek as a type to present the priesthood the priesthood now malchizedek Has predates the erotic priesthood by some six centuries Because he appears on the scene something like 2000 years before christ And and the levitical priesthood doesn't appear until about 1400 years before christ So 600 years past between the mention of malchizedek and the revelation of the priesthood The argument that the writer of Hebrews is giving therefore is that jesus's priesthood Predates the levitical priesthood So a jewish individual who will be saying how can you say that jesus messiah Is messiah and is is a high priest Seeing that he's not from the tribe of Levi The answer is well, that's because he predates Levi And that's because he actually is of a different lineage That's what the psalmist in psalm 1104 says You are of the order of malchizedek And so the point he's making here is that the high priest is appointed by god Taken from among men Understands human weaknesses and offers sacrifices Yes, it's true. Jesus christ is not a levitical priest But he predates him following the line of malchizedek And so that's what he's saying in verse 5 when he says so also christ did not glorify himself to become high priest It was he who said to him you are my son today. I have begotten you Now by the way when it says you are my son today. I begotten you that's out of the psalms psalm 2 verse 7 But the picture of the begotting or when jesus was begotten is is in reference really to his resurrection He was demonstrated to be the son of god by the Resurrection you see that in romans chapter 1. I believe right around verse 4 And so jesus christ is the son of god That's the point that he's making and has the power of resurrection And then in verse 6 or was raised by the power of the spirit in his resurrection And then verse 6 as he also says in another place you are a priest forever according to the order of malchizedek Who in the days of his flesh When he had offered up prayers and supplications with vehement cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death And was heard because of his godly fear though He was a son yet. He learned obedience by the things which he suffered And so he continues on for us to speak concerning jesus christ and his ministry now Notice what he says who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications When it speaks of his the days of his flesh That's another way of speaking of his incarnation the 33 years that jesus lived on the face of the earth And as he lived he offered up prayers supplication vehement cries and tears Now those words are all very powerful Because prayers speaks of need supplications are urgent requests vehement cries are Loud out cries from one who's deeply been deeply disturbed and and tears are the visible manifestation Of grief and what he's speaking about is how the lord jesus christ when he was in the garden of Gethsemane And he was going through his time of agony began to cry out to his father And as jesus was there crying out to his father Luke tells us in in chapter 22 verse 44 being in anguish He prayed more earnestly and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground And so the passion of christ there in the garden speaks of the prayers supplications of vehement christ and the tears The bible tells us in matthew 26 39 that jesus prayed my father if it's possible may this cup be taken from me Yet not as i will but as you will and as jesus was praying in that way He has his disciples the stones throw away and other disciples who are there at the entrance He's got he's got eight disciples at the entrance of the garden He's got three that he brought in further with him And these three who were brought in further with him Can see him in the darkness and hear him as he's weeping and crying And yet they're falling asleep And three different times the scripture says jesus went to them and said are you sleeping watch and pray You need to awaken be aware This is the last moments and and he would speak to them and then he'd awaken them and then he'd go back and He'd fall in his face before his father and and he'd cry out And and he prayed he'd say my father if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless i drink it He finally cries out then may your will be done If there's any other way if salvation can be won through any other means if there's any other sacrifice Other than what i have to go through oh father may that be so Can you imagine that for just a moment? As the son cries out to the father and he's saying i'm about to be separated from you I'm about to go through the agony of death And and the torture and and all that that i will that i will endure tonight Is there any other way that this can take place? Is there any other offering? Is there any other thing a substitute of some sort? Is this the only way and and yet the bible tells us that he ultimately simply said not my will but yours be done That's how it worked out and yet the bible tells us very specifically here that he was heard as he cried out in verse 7 It says here it says that he was heard because of his godly fear his father heard him But did nothing to stop it because there was no other way I was a young man once and i was teaching a home bible study back in 1973 And one of the members of that bible study who has since gone home to be with the lord The name was claudette claudette uh had a young boy her little boy She had i i believe three daughters and her last uh was her son And he was just a little guy and and he was very ill and i remember her coming to see me She lived just down the street and all and and she came and uh knocked on the door and came in and sat down and And began to share with me that her little boy was very ill and she had taken him to the doctor and he wasn't getting any better and And and i was just a young guy. What do i know? I was yet to be married I had no children of my own and all but i do remember that she was sharing with me and saying um I don't know. I keep crying to god for him She said david i i'm i'm asking god to heal him and and and god isn't isn't listening god is not healing him And he is so ill and and he was he was he had a very high temperature and he just wasn't getting any better and And she was crying as a mama would and and she kept on saying that to me and finally she said to me Where is god? Where is god? Where is god now that my son is in this way? Where is god? now Can't he see my son? Where is god now? And i remember looking at claudette and i said claudette i said god is in the same place He was when he watched his son dying across He's in the same place. He hasn't moved. He's aware of your tears. He's aware of your pain. He's aware of your concern He's aware. He's not hidden from you. He sees you But the lord had placed it on my heart to remind her that he's in the same place He was when he watched his son dying across That doesn't show a lack of love when you allow somebody to go through something like that in case of jesus christ That most certainly didn't show lack of love His father heard him. He was heard the scripture in verse seven says because of his godly fear He heard god heard him and notice with me how it says who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers And supplications with vehement cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death as you read that you might think The one who could have saved him from death in the sense of keeping him from dying. That's not what the word means When it says save him from death The word is in greek ekthanatos ekthanatos cha and atos Ekthanatos which literally is he can he prayed to the one This is what's powerful about this by the way.  Yes, but be resurrected He was speaking to the one who would bring him back It's not that he prayed not to die because he knew why he was here in the first place He knew he had come to give up his life in john 12 verse 27 Jesus said it this way my heart is troubled. What shall I say father saved me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason. I came to this hour. He didn't pray god I don't want to die He was praying to the lord and saying to him after he had come to the The point of conclusion of I know what i'm to do. He was simply saying to him I know and I am praying to the one who can resurrect me I'm praying to the one who can bring me out of the grave Even as the scripture promises and he was praying according to that and notice again in verse 7 He was heard because of his godly fear In other words, he was completely submitted to his father And that's why he prayed die will be done and submitted himself now in verse 8 though He was a son yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered And that's not saying that he learned to be obedient It's not saying he learned to be obedient because he always was obedient Remember in john 8 29 how he said he who sent me is with me. The father has not left me alone I do always those things that please him Jesus is the only human being who ever lived who could look at his own mother and say can you convict me of sin Can you imagine that for a minute? I talk to my mom all the time I've never said that to her Can you convict me of sin? Where do you want me to start son? You know how how many years do you have? You know my mom of course my dad could have my brothers and my sisters I couldn't walk up to my brother frank and say frank just tell me one time that i've done wrong I mean come on. I mean he's my older brother He knows what i've been like and my sisters of course my wife every person who knows me can convict me of sin Some great sin some minor sin but sin yes And and yet jesus is the only person who ever lived who could look at his mother straight in the face and say Is there anything that i've ever done wrong anything that i've ever done that was disobedient in any way shape or form Can you convict me of ever sinning and the answer was obviously no nobody could that's why we call him our savior Because he's able to do that so when it says here that he learned obedience It isn't that he learned obedience or to be obedient He always was what it is speaking about is he learned the full cost of obedience And the full cost of obedience was the death on the cross as god He knows all things as man He experiences suffering and learns the price that full obedience Exacts which is to die on the cross and that's what he was learning the full cost of obedience Now it says in verse nine having been perfected He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him called by god as high priest According to the order of malchizedek Having been perfected When it says having been perfected the word perfected has nothing to do with moral perfection Jesus already was morally perfect. He had no sin What it speaks of is being brought to full qualification through suffering The scripture uses the word perfect in various ways. It can't speak concerning that which has no error or sin But normally when you read the word perfect, it speaks of that which is fully mature or has come to completion And so when it speaks here concerning that having been perfected It speaks concerning the fact that he has been brought to a full Qualification through the things that he went through through the suffering And so jesus christ is brought to the place in other words of dying on the cross And in doing so he becomes the author of eternal salvation to all I want you to notice this to all who obey him To obey him is an evidence of loving him. Remember what he said in john 14 15 If you love me keep my commandments In in luke chapter 6 verse 46 he says why do you call me lord lord and do not the things which I say And so those who obey him demonstrate that they love him It's one thing for me to say I love the lord. It's another thing for me to demonstrate that Not everyone who says to me lord lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven But he who does the will of my father in heaven is what jesus said Which is a demonstration of true regeneration There's a lot of people in other words who have said faith and they have head faith But they don't have acting faith Faith actually works itself out because a person who says I have faith But has no works is not telling the truth because works go along with faith And so it's a one thing for a person to say well I was raised in the united states 83 of americans call themselves christians And a good portion of that 83 percent refer to themselves as born again or evangelical Defining themselves by the born again experience, you know, we have a whole lot of formal christians in the united states Of course, we have people who are referred to as denominational christians meaning that they've been raised in certain denominations Whatever it may be from the catholic to the presbyterian to the methodists you name it They're denominational and many of those within the denominations are what are called nominal meaning in name only And so there are numerous people who will take the surveys and when asked what is your religious preference will say I am a christian Sometimes I watch some of these girl shows with marie You know, I admit it. I'm not ashamed Actually, I am to a degree. You probably shouldn't have said this to you. But anyway, sometimes I do You know, who's wedding is it or something like that? I forget some wedding programs and re's really not big on that either But we'll sit down once in a while just to be fascinated. Oh, this is the bride zilla Anybody ever seen that one? Oh, amazing bride zilla Amazing monstrous monstrous brides, but and it's almost entertaining if it's so tragic, but I do I have seen it And and and I watch that and these people sometimes are just so profane I mean they get so angry and and they're so mean and and they use some very colorful language sometimes And and and they just go berserk and and they freak and and it's all It's all just before their weddings You know, you got to see them after the wedding, but it's all before the wedding And and they'll go all freaky even in the church And they get mad at the pastors or they get mad at their at the bridesmaids and and they're all really angry and You know and and then they're walking up saying, you know before god I promise and I trip on that I just go wow I mean they don't have a clue what they're saying No idea at all about their commitments. They're making to god and man Because they want a church wedding, but if you were to ask them why They're not going to say because I love the lord jesus christ.  I'm walking in the spirit I prayed for this person to be my husband or wife. They don't say that It's because that's what we do. We get married in churches I mean, we're called calvary chapel You can imagine the amount of calls we would get at the first people asking Can we use the chapel for weddings because they thought we were calvary wedding chapel And and and I would share I've shared in the early days with our church Just because we're called calvary chapel and just because i'm a pastor doesn't mean that that we will marry Just anybody who approaches us you go through premarital counseling with us We want to make sure that you're not unevenly yoked together with an unbeliever We want to make sure that you lay your foundations right in jesus christ because I said i'm a pastor and not a wedding chapel And i'm a person who makes sure that the people that I am officiating over understand The what it means to be married because i'm not about to do that and and not honor god And you need to understand that too and I used to be very clear at the first because I had to be Because people would come to church thinking well, it's a church. He's a pastor He'll marry me for a few bucks and it doesn't work that way at all It doesn't work that way at all and yet we live in the united states and today a lot of people claim to be christian Even want to have christian marriages and oh, but they're not walking with the lord That's what jesus christ is somebody that we obey and that's what it says having been perfected He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him And so jesus christ says to him says to us now There are things that he wants us to do and therefore we say yes lord I will do that right because I love you because i've been born again And when you called me and said to commit my heart to you to be born again I responded to that and from that point on have had a heart to respond in obedience to you That's how it works All you need to do is ask yourself if you want to test yourself for the christ is in you Is do you long to be obedient to him? Does that matter to you? Do you desire to obey him? Because if you have a desire to obey him It's good there's a good evidence that you know him that you have relationship with him I don't know if I should tell you this it came to mind okay How do I say it okay um I was an assisting pastor And the senior pastor I was outside talking To him just before service when my wife marie. This is many many years ago 27 28 years ago now and marie walks up And the senior pastor looks at my wife And says to her You're supposed to be in church right now church services has begun And marie looks at him and says you're not my husband And I look at my feet I'm the assistant pastor And she's telling the senior pastor you're not my husband And I looked at her and I smiled at her I said baby you better get into church Okay, she goes in Later on I talked to her I say honey. He may not be your husband But he is the pastor of the church Well, you're my husband. I realize that thank god for it every day. I promise you I promise you But baby When he says that you need to do something That's because you need to do it Obey Well, see she was already learning to obey her husband Ain't nobody else I'm going to obey that kind of thing And But we obey Jesus christ Because he has the right to command me And the fact that that he is in that spiritual sense the one who who is over the church the church being the bride of christ Then quite obviously the bride of christ obeys Jesus christ Which demonstrates that they have relationship with him If I don't want to obey him it's because I have no relationship with him I haven't recognized his authority in my life. I have to bow my knee to him And that's the point. It's a simple point He is the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him We obeyed him by yielding our life to him and therefore follow him from that point on And in verse 10 he's called by god as high priest according to the order Of malchizedek called by god once again repeating what he started in verse one and repeated later That he is called by god to be after this order Wasn't appointed by men didn't take it to himself was appointed by god And as such he has the right to give to us commands because he is our high priest


We are discussing hydrogen atom wave functions. We have shown you some beautiful pictures and we have learnt how to depict s orbitals 1s, 2s, 3s. We have learnt how nodes come. We have also learnt what happens when we can when we multiply them by this r square and generate the radial probability distribution function. Now, we try and show you some even more beautiful pictures like this. So, where does this come from? Let us just see. So, now we move on to p orbitals and the simplest p orbitals of course are 2pz orbitals. Here principal quantum number is 2. Azimuthal quantum number is 1. Magnetic quantum number for 2pz is equal to 0. Now, why is it called 2pz? We will learn very soon. Let us have a look at the functional form constant multiplied by now we have r, r to the power 1 multiplied by e to the power minus zr by 2a. So, see increasing function of r and this one is an exponential decay multiply them together. It is not a surprise that it goes through a maximum. So, what you see here is a radial part of the wave function starts with a 0 at r equal to 0 and of course, psi starts with a 0 at r equal to 0 as well goes up and comes down. And from the previous module, previous couple of modules, I think you are now familiar and you can make sense of this kind of 3 dimensional plots. Just do not forget please that the vertical axis is really psi. In fact, in this case, vertical axis is R. Now, we have to start worrying about the angular part. The angular part in case of 2pz orbital is cos theta. If you remember the relationship between the Cartesian coordinates and spherical polar coordinates, you will recall that cos theta is equal to z by r. So, I can simply write z by r here. So, the effect will be that that r in the denominator and this r is going to cancel each other. So, what we are left with is something in z. So, what will this orbital look like? Now, we bring in symmetry in a very qualitative manner. Will you agree with me if I say that this orbital will have exactly the same symmetry as the z axis? Or if you have problem with that, let me put it in an even simpler form. Wherever z is positive, this orbital is going to be positive. Remember, it is being multiplied by an all positive or 0 function. So, except for r equal to 0 and r equal to infinity where the radial part is 0, the function has to be positive when z is positive and negative when z is negative. So, where is the node? The node arises from z equal to 0 and z equal to 0 being a node, the function is going to change sin. So, the way we have drawn it here is I am not going through the exercise of trying to plot it in real time because you have seen enough of it. Now, you can do it yourself. So, we have plotted it is that the vertical axis is psi, this horizontal axis is z and the one perpendicular to the plane of the projection is x, I have neglected y for the time being. So, cos theta is along z. So, on this side where z is positive cos theta is also positive and what you get is you get a positive part of the wave function and wherever z is negative, you get a negative part of the wave function. And why does it go through a maximum? Why is it sort of like a cone? Because if you go back to the previous projection, see this is the r dependent part. So, r dependent part is multiplied by cos theta. Wherever cos theta is equal to 1, where is cos theta equal to 1? Where is cos theta equal to 1? I think you know that at theta equal to 0, that is where it has 1, that is where it has a value of 1 and you have purely the radial part in the total wave function. Then as cos theta decreases from 1 to 0, what happens is that this radial part keeps on getting smaller and smaller and smaller. The radius dependent does not change. What happens is that this maximum becomes a little smaller. That is why you get this kind of a 3 dimensional picture and when z becomes negative, of course, the entire thing becomes negative and what you see here is the contour lines. So, if I look from the top or from the bottom, what kind of projection do I get? What kind of a contour diagram do I get? I get something like this. Do you agree? Look down from the top. This is where the positive peak is. This is where the negative peak is. Check. This is the z axis. This is the x axis. So, whenever z becomes negative, the wave function becomes negative as well and go through any radius. It goes through a maximum, is not it? Starting from here, it goes through a maximum, then comes down. And if you remember what we had said, when we had shown you that example of contours of an island, the lines are close together where the gradient is deep. The lines are further apart from each other where the gradient is gentle. So, just looking by at it, what you see is that near the node, near the node, we have a steep gradient and then once it goes to the maximum, which is somewhere here, the falloff is much gentler. That is the case everywhere. You go from in this direction, this direction, this direction everywhere the same thing happens. It is just that the maximum value of psi it reaches is different depending on theta. Let me maybe demonstrate that if I can. Let us say you take this section. What will happen? Psi will go up up to this value. Remember, this is going up. The values are given here. It is going up from out to in. The inner point here is the maximum value. So, you get a function that looks something like this. Now, let us say I go along this radius. What will happen? Still it goes up and then comes down. But what I see is that I am not reaching this high value. The value is lower. So, you get an similar looking function, but the maximum value reached is not going to be much, is not going to be that much. What about here? When you go in this direction, this is what you get. What happens when you go? Let us say in this direction, similar function given my poor artistic skills, but maximum reached is lesser. So, it is 0 of course, wherever z equal to 0 and it is 0 at infinity as well, r equal to infinity as well. So, I just take you back and I will ask you to take a look at this 3D plot vertical axis being psi and the contour. And I will request you to make sure that you have completely understood that this and this are one and the same. There are just two ways of drawing it.  This node is different from the node we had in say 2s or 3s orbital. Why? Because those nodes arose by equating the radial part of the wave function to 0. Here, I get the node by equating the angular part cos theta to be equal to 0. It is just that cos theta translates as z equal to 0 as well. So, this here is the node nodal plane you can say. And this is our familiar p orbital 2 lobes, one with plus sine of wave function, one with minus sine of wave function. What happens if I try to construct psi square? Well, we get 2 lobes once again, just that both become positive. Then what should I multiply by? I should multiply by sine square theta. Should I multiply by sine square theta? Remember, what is there in the volume element? R square sine theta. So, I should multiply it by R square sine theta and see what kind of shape we get. We will not deliberate upon this question right now in the next module or the module after that we are going to come back and we are going to briefly discuss this issue. For now, let us just go through the orbitals and have a look at p as well as d orbitals. Now, but the thing is you can construct the probability and the probability roughly follows qualitatively the shape of the contours that we had drawn but of course, they will not be exactly the same. So, this is the familiar p orbital that you get. Why is it that we like to plot constant probability surfaces? We like to do that because it is probability that tells you where the electron is.  Now, so this is another way of drawing the probability distribution as dots, we are not familiar with this. Now, we come to a peculiar problem. We are handled to be z. Now, the moment we try to go to the other 2 orbitals, orbitals for m equal to plus 1 and m equal to minus 1, we encounter the problem that we have e to the power i phi and e to the power minus i phi there. Remember, the phi part of the wave function is e to the power i m phi. Here, i m can take up values of plus 1 and minus 1. How am I supposed to draw it in a real surface? I cannot. So, what we do is we use a very convenient tool of quantum mechanics to try and make the situation such that we can draw something. More about this later, let me just state here that the way to handle these imaginary orbitals is that we remember that quantum mechanical orbitals are all linear. We had said it towards the beginning of this course, they are all linear. What is the meaning of quantum mechanical orbitals being linear? It means that when a operates on some wave function psi 1 to give some eigenvalue and it operates on some other wave function to give some eigenvalue, then a operates on a1 psi 1 to give a1 multiplied by eigenvalue of psi 1 multiplied by psi 1. This is the meaning of an operator being a linear. Also, a hat operating on say psi 1 plus psi 2 is equal to a hat operating on psi 1 plus a hat operating on psi 2. Since we have said it quite some time ago, why do not I just write it once? What I am saying is the meaning of quantum mechanical operators being linear is let us say I have some operator a hat operating on psi 1 to give some eigenvalue a1 a2 sorry a hat operating on psi 2 to give a2 sorry for my childish and writing.  This is the meaning of an operator being linear. We are going to use this and try to use some linear combination. So, what we are saying essentially is that we are if you have a linear combination of acceptable solutions then they should also be acceptable functions. Is it always the case or is it not the case always? Let us see. So, let us write this now. What I get is I get a1 c1 psi 1 plus a2 c2 psi 2 should actually included this in the slide itself. So, now see if this is to be an eigenvalue equation what is the condition? Eigenvalue equation means this c1 psi 1 plus c2 psi 2 should somehow be able to go into a bracket. That is only possible if you can take out a1 and a2 when will that happen? It will happen when you can write like this a multiplied by a hat sorry about that I do not need to write a hat here c1 psi 1 plus c2 psi 2. When will this happen? This will happen only if if and only if a1 equal to a2 equal to a or in other words the a linear combination of two acceptable wave functions is two acceptable eigenfunctions of an operator is also an eigenfunction provided the two wave functions have the same eigenvalue. So, here think of Hamiltonian operator what are we using orbitals for so far to find out energy. So, Hamiltonian operator is a total energy operator. What is the eigenvalue for 2 pz and 2 p plus 1 and 2 p minus 1 they are the same whatever is the eigenvalue for n equal to 2 is the eigenvalue energy eigenvalue for all these orbitals. If you remember l and m do not make any contribution to energy for a 1 electron system it is n all the way. So, these 2 psi plus 1 and psi minus 1 these p orbitals actually satisfy the condition that they have the same eigenvalues. So, if you take any linear combination you will generate another wave function which will be an eigenvalue of Hamiltonian with the same energy associated with it that is very important and so we do not care. See we have solved your Schrodinger equation in a particular way that is why we have got the solutions. If you solve it in some other way we could have got perfectly valid solutions that are different from this one that might sound a little confusing but that is how it is. So, we are always allowed to generate new functions new solutions knowing already existing acceptable solutions and what I have shown you is that if the if you have 2 functions whose eigenvalues of an operator are the same then the linear combinations no matter which linear combination I took C1 and C2 they are perfectly general. You take any linear combination of these wave functions now may I use the word degenerate since we are using energy here. If you have 2 degenerate wave functions same energy eigenvalue then any linear combination of these 2 wave functions is also going to be degenerate with the functions that we started with we will have the same eigenvalue. So, we are allowed to take such linear combinations. Now we know what happens when we add say e to the power i phi with e to the power minus i phi it becomes real or we subtract. So, we will use those relationships between trigonometric and exponential forms of imaginary numbers and this is what we will do. The first linear combination we take is 1 by root 2 multiplied by psi 2 3 plus 1 plus psi 2.  So, that goes outside the bracket well even sin theta goes outside the bracket and you are left with e to the power i phi plus e to the power minus i phi inside the bracket. What is e to the power i phi plus e to the power minus i phi it turns out to be cos phi. It turns out to be cos phi not exactly cos phi there is a factor of 2. So, you are left with sin theta cos phi 1 by root over 32 pi 1 by a 0 to the power 3 by 2 multiplied by r by a 0 e to the power minus r by 2 a 0 sin theta cos phi it is a real function. It is a real function moreover do you remember where sin theta cos phi arises C z equal to r cos theta what is x x is equal to sin theta cos phi is not it r sin theta cos phi. So, the sin theta cos phi is a function which lies along x has the same symmetry as x. So, this is your familiar psi 2 p x orbital. Similarly, if you take a if you subtract one of these orbiters from the other in that case we need an i in the denominator it is not root over i root over 2 into i. So, this if you have i in the denominator then we get something like this sin theta sin phi and if you remember sin theta sin phi multiplied by r is nothing but y. So, this is your 2 p y orbital. So, what we have learned here is something once again we miss when we study high secondary or BSC or even MSC. Very common question that we ask often in PHD admission interviews or in other places is what is the m value for 2 p x orbital. Once again many students do not know what to say many students arbitrarily say plus 1 many students arbitrarily say plus 2 sorry minus 1 many students say it can be plus 1 or minus 1 none of these answers are completely correct some are outright wrong the last one is not completely correct. See what we get here is that we obtain 2 p x orbital or 2 p y orbital for that matter by taking a linear combination of the orbitals for which m values are defined. So, m value is not defined for 2 p x or 2 p y. It is not associated with any particular m value if you now go back to the our initial discussions what is the meaning of m value?  So, the z component of angular momentum is going to be plus 1 or minus 1. So, if you take this e to the power i phi wave function and somehow measure the z component of angular momentum every time you measure you get plus 1. If you take this second one m equal to minus 1 e to the power minus i phi wave function every time you measure you get minus 1 l z value. If you take 2 p x and if you perform say 10 lakh measurements for 50 percent of the time 50,000 times well no 10 lakhs right. So, 5 lakh times you will get plus 1 for the remaining 5 lakh times you will get minus 1 it is not please remember 2 p x and 2 p y orbitals are not eigen functions of the l z operator. So, average value you see what the average value will be if it is plus 1 half the time and minus 1 half the time you cannot measure l z like that.  So, the length of the arrow is defined theta is not defined that is all I am saying if you measure many times half the time you will get one value the remaining half the time you will get another value. So, but that solves our problem we have generated this and now we can draw it similar figures just that instead of being along z they will be along x and y respectively. So, interestingly the Pz orbital arises automatically because there it the m value is 0 e to the power i phi is equal to 1 that is why you do not even have a phi part showing up here it is 1. So, when m equal to 0 the orbital is already a real orbital real wave function do not have to do anything if m is non-zero however then we in chemistry we always generate real wave functions by taking appropriate linear combinations why is that so because we do not want to do too much of math I mean you might roll your eyes and say that what are you doing in this course believe me it is not much you take a quantum physics course it will be much much more rigorous mathematically. So, students of physics are absolutely fine e to the power i phi e to the power minus i phi when they can understand it we understand better if we can draw some picture that is why without loss of much generality we prefer to take this appropriate linear combinations and generate orbitals that are real so that is how we generate Px and Py orbitals. Similarly for d orbitals what is the m value going to be it will be 0 plus minus 1 plus minus 2 you can understand for m equal to 0 we will get a real d orbital anyway however for other m values you are not going to get you are not you are going to get an imaginary value. So, what you do is you take linear combinations of m equal to plus 1 orbitals to generate something you take linear combinations of m equal to plus 2 orbitals what am I saying m equal to plus minus 2 orbitals generate something else I will say that again for d orbitals m equal to 0 once again yields a real orbital and we will see what it is in the next module I thought we will discuss P and d orbitals in the same module but time is running out so we will take a break and if you take m equal to plus minus 1 they are again then you will get exponential terms like this e to the power i phi e to the power minus i phi what we do is we take appropriate linear combinations. Then the other one will be e to the power 2 i phi e to the power minus 2 i phi for m equal to plus minus 2 we take linear combination of those 2 as well we do not take linear combination of e to the power i phi and to the power 2 i phi we always take linear combinations of wave functions where m values are same as far as modulus is concerned that is how we generate the d orbitals. So, like the orbitals even in those familiar 5 d orbitals that we have only one comes directly the other are generated from imaginary orbitals that we get from solution of Schrodinger equation so that is what I wanted to say about 2p orbitals let us move on to 3p orbitals this is your 3p z orbital and understandably we will only talk about z what you have here is constant multiplied by r multiplied by 6 minus z r by a so where is the node going to be r equal to 6 a divided by z if you write in terms of a and put z equal to 1 it is just going to be 6 e to the power minus z r by 3 a no problem with that multiplied by cos theta of course now what happens see when you equate this you get this radial node as we said already so the function will start from 0 why because r is there go through a maximum come down go through the node change sign and then become 0 asymptotically so this is your radial node what is the locus of the radial node sphere of course now without showing you that good looking picture to start with let us see how we can draw the wave function without actually plotting it completely actually working out the numbers how we can draw the contour plot what you do is first of all draw the radial node then draw the angular node cos theta equal to 0 that is z equal to 0 draw the angular node now what happens is whenever the wave function crosses any of these nodes it has to change function it has to change sign isn't it so let us draw some contour somewhere and we know very well that the contours contour lines come closer to each other towards one of the nodes and then they are further apart right when they come towards an angular node this was something can be plus can be minus does not matter just draw this so what happens is when you start drawing from here draw the line here it has to turn right because it cannot cross the node without changing sign and here we want to retain the same value so no change in sign so this is what it is now cross any of the nodes sign would have changed let us say we cross the angular node sign changes you get a similar looking loop but with opposite sign right now let us cross the radial node once again sign change will be there and you get a loop like this on the other side also you get a loop like this so every time we cross a node sign change is going to be there what I am saying is that if you are asked to plot an orbital or any function ever figure out the nodes draw the loop that occurs to you first and then remember that as you cross a node sign has to change that is the simple okay now this is your contour diagram in a different orientation and this is what we have been waiting to see the 3D plot with contours the point I want to emphasize here is that once again you see the inner lobes of the orbital are so much larger in fact it is not very easy to get these contours when you make the plot because they are very very shallow okay this is plus this is minus this is minus this is plus their maximum values are so small that you have to work a little bit to even draw the contours to get those values not so easy but when you incorporate the volume element then these become the major lobes because we start talking about probability so this here cos theta is a node so this is the surface of constant probability for 3pz orbital when we are showing it please do not forget the science when you do that and as usual this is another way of showing it using distribution as dots right that is what we wanted to say about p orbitals in the next module we will talk about d orbitals


Hello, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Armour with the Stock Switch, and I'm looking here at the market. Do I think we're lower into next week? Yes. Is this been a nice day here with all these trades running to the downside? Yes. So the bottom line is the shorts work today, the puts work today, the ones I called this morning, the ones I called yesterday. I'm very happy with the last 24, 48 hours. But I will say, though, that you're taking a chance ever, from now until forever and ever, holding something into a weekend. But OK, sorry about that. My food order is here. I've got to go get it, but really quickly, we didn't break 280. And that's the next number. This market looks so, so bearish to me. I've been calling the market lower for a while, and I know it's been touched and go. I'm really glad I held the conviction. But to me here, there is no institutional buying coming into this market. This market just feels heavy. It just feels heavy.  I mean, they're still good. How can I explain this? It's like when you went in an option chain when you're blowing up the balloon and then the air comes out of the balloon. Even when it goes against you a little bit here, like the air is not coming out of the balloon. Like these are holding the price and these are holding really well, like just the entire day here. And there's an hour and 20 minutes left to go. So I mean, you could be out. You could have been out two o'clock-ish, two-thirty-ish. You can look for a drop-off here into the close. Let's just do a whole... This never hit today. This did hit today. These banks just look lower. And again, so I mean, this is lower. This is lower. And this is lower, but this is taken forever.  And I think you pretty much had to decide probably like this morning, late morning, around lunch what you wanted to do. What you could do here is get out of some of the trades and old summon to the weekend to book some money. Or you could get out of everything today to be conservative. Or you can hold everything through Monday, not knowing what's gonna happen. But you know, my analysis here, looking at this market, and I'll just blow it up here. And then I gotta go. This looks, this is weird. I read this market expertly, expertly. I'm really excited for the month of May. So it's gonna be your call, though. Booking profits, there's never, there's never anything wrong with doing that. Never, okay? But I'm just giving you my two cents here. Have a great weekend, everybody. See you next week.


Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Weapon Doxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at Spacetime from Tom Elderfield. What is it? Basically it's a single card.  You want to see what it looks like? This is it. There's been many moving hole plots in Magic, but nothing like this. A card is selected and you punch a hole in it. That hole visually moves to different parts of the card. And get this. You can see both sides of the card. You'll get to learn multiple routines, all of which are perfect for walk around and close-up. There's no threads, no flaps, no magnets, and the effect resets in an instant. Okay, I'm going to put your card that you signed so you can pick anyone. I'm going to put it right here in your hand and I want you to put your hand on top like that. Okay, so put your hand on top. Just don't move. I want you to pick wherever you want on the back of the card. Right here? Okay, here. You'll make the whole travel up like that.  We'll drop it on your back card. Check it out. What the f***? I simply don't understand how I signed this card and there was no hole in it. Now I got a hole in it that I'm going to lady. I'm going to have bad dreams tonight. Give ready to war reality. So that was Tom Elderfield. You might remember he also did helix. He did TNR corner. He also did upheld. He also did twister. This is being released by the fine people down at Murphy's Magic. And we want to thank Murphy's Magic for providing this for us so that we can review it for you. Alright, so a couple questions. We always ask about all of our magic props and the first of which is what is in the box? What's in the box? It's a real box. It's a real cardboard hardshell box. And inside this, you're going to get the download code to the video. It's 46 minutes long and you're going to get the gimmick. And the gimmick is already constructed and it is already made and you're ready to go. Is it what I thought? Yes and no. I've owned some moving holo gimmicks in the past. I've owned one. I own holo. Maybe it's similar. I mean, how else would you do a moving holo trick? So you kind of say, yeah, that's about how I thought it would be. So it's kind of what I thought it would be. I wasn't too surprised. Love the gimmick. I think it's really well made. How are the angles on this? How are the angles? There's probably some issues. There are some slight tells within the construction of the gimmick.  But I don't think it's bad at all. Can it be inspected? Absolutely not. But of course through the process of the trick, you should be doing a switch and handing back an unblemished card. So in the end, if you've done the trick convincingly, there shouldn't be anything to find because you've wrung out that gimmick and you've brought in a fresh card. What's the overall quality and production value of the video? It's great. It's everything you'd expect from Murphy's Magic. Well shot, well lit, HD, there's great live performances. Tom walks you through everything you need to know. Is it well made? Very well made. I'm glad I did not have to make this myself. Tom absolutely says in the video how to use it. So he gives you very distinct direction. You've got to listen to what he says. You've got to listen to the teaching. You can't just take this out of the box and say, I know how to do this. You've got to follow the directions, okay? Because I can't see how you would make this any better. I think it's really well made. I think it's a really great product. How much practice does it require? I think this goes a little bit in with, is it well made? There is a feel to the gimmick. There's a feel to it. Partly muscle memory and it's partly just, this is how I know it should be. Like you've done this so often, you know it's right. And so to get to that point, I think it's going to take you some practice. To get to that point where you just know this is where it's going to stay, this is where it looks good, that is only going to take time. And I don't expect that you're just going to whip this out of the box and start doing it for your friends in 10 minutes. How much did I spend on reset? Is there, it's instantaneous. There's really nothing to reset. I mean, as fast as you got into it is as fast as to get out of it. That's sort of the positive space time. Like I said, it's a familiar trick already to some additions. And so I think this is a nice upgrade. I think this is a nice facelift. So it definitely kind of brings that trick into a new era. I love the fact that the hole moves around the card. I love the fact that you can reset it back to zero. I love the little added bonus of moving the hole completely off the card and moving it to a different location. I think all of those are really great. It's not a hard trick to follow either for a spectator. It's very easy to follow. It's very easy to grasp. There's not a lot to explain, you know, so I think visually it's great. It looks like real magic. This is a great, great trick. All right, so what are the negatives of space time? Like we say in mind here, there's negatives to everything. These are just the negatives I see that don't have to be the negatives that you see. I think that there are people that will think that it doesn't stay in place, that the gimmick moves when it shouldn't, or it doesn't lock where it's supposed to. You know, one side doesn't fit all. Your gimmick is probably not going to look like the gimmick you see in the video.   So how straightforward can that be? Every gimmick's going to look and feel a little differently. And so I think before you toss it aside and say, oh, this doesn't work for me, I think you need to spend more time in the practice room and get it to where you can do this trick well. Is it worth your money? It's $25. $25, 46 minutes of instruction, and you get a gimmick that's completely well made and completely done for you. Absolutely. This is money well spent. All right, who would like this? Anybody that likes sword and restored magic, anybody that has done maybe hollow in the past and they want to upgrade to it. People that like this kind of out-of-the-box thinking, people that do walk around, people that do street magic, I think would definitely like Space Time from Tom Elberfield and Murphy's Magic. All right, so that is my review for Space Time from Tom Elberfield. And if you'd like to pick up your own, you can find it at your favorite from Murphy's Magic dealer. Thanks. Bye.


Hello, my name is Dr. Surendra Kamat, I am professor and head of the department of orthopedics. Today I am going to tell you about arthroscopy of the knee joint. In other words, it's called as a keyhole surgery for the knee joint. This particular surgery is evolved over a period of time and at the moment we have state of the art facilities to do this particular surgery. Before the days of MRI, the arthroscopy was used for diagnosis as well as for treatment of knee conditions. At the moment we have good MRIs to diagnose beforehand and most of the time arthroscopy is done mostly for therapeutic or treatment purpose. Atroscopy of the knee joint is a keyhole surgery because we just put a stab incision and then pass a telescope into the knee joint to deal with various conditions of the knee joint. Most common indications for doing this particular surgery is both soft tissue as well as bony injuries. What I mean by soft tissue injury is the injuries to the ligament. For example, knee has got two ligaments on either side, two ligaments in the center of the joint and there are two wedge shaped shock absorbers called as menisci. So any damage to the menisci or to the ligaments in the center of the joint which requires a surgery for symptoms needs to be treated by arthroscopic surgery. So what we do in arthroscopic surgery is we try to either repair the torn meniscus or reconstruct a torn cruciate ligament. Let me tell you something about the torn meniscus. This is very common in young footballers or cupid players where they twist the knee joint and resulting in pain as well as difficulty in mobility. And these patients do well when we do an arthroscopic repair of the torn meniscus and post-operatively when the meniscus heals they go back to their original level of activity. You must have heard about the anti-recruciate ligament injury which is again a common injury in footballers or any cupid players because of again twisting injury. This needs to be reconstructed in symptomatic patients especially young athletic active individuals and back to their normal level of activity can be achieved by doing this simple arthroscopic procedure. And arthroscopy has really evolved as I said earlier to do lots of soft tissue as well as bony surgeries and post-operatively depending on the situation the post-operative recovery varies. For example in meniscal surgeries it may need to be for about 4 to 6 weeks of rehabilitation ACL might take about 3 months for rehabilitation. So depending on the condition for which we are doing ACL or meniscus the post-operative rehabilitation and recovery varies. It's a team approach requiring everybody's help in the hospital and when it is done properly definitely it's a boon to the human.


Good morning from Colorado, custom coach works. You see that behind me? No, that's not plywood. That's $700. Today we are working on the little walls for the insulation. We got steampunk Steve, we got Justin with a mojo bus. Check him out on Instagram. I think he's going to start uploading soon on YouTube. But we're going to cover these walls. I'm going to let the experts do their thing with the cabinets. Me and Renee are going to cover all the walls. Then we're going to start working on the ceiling. If you notice we have a chalk line right there. We're going to start with the center beam because I want the lights centered. I don't know any other way to do that except start with the center. Unless we cut pieces and then figure out where to start on the wall. Anyways, you know what I'm saying. We got a lot of work to do. It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The weather in Colorado is finally cooling down. What else? Since I've actually gotten here, there's Chris by the way, one of the awesome owners. Since I've gotten here it was really hot the first month. It's finally cooling down a little bit. We're picking up steam here. We've got about 40 days left of the shop. We're hoping to complete everything before then. Does this light up a little bit? Yes, we will. So these little blue things are where the lights go. I think I mentioned that in yesterday's video. And thank God for Steve. Thank you Steve. No problem, that's why I'm here. So we were going to start with the middle one to center it and everything. But we realized that's the first one where we have to cut. And also we're going to have to start wiring these lights in. I've never done this before. So I'm extremely grateful for Steve and Justin and Renee. Of course the guys here too if I have a question. But it gets a little tricky because once you put the wood up on a ceiling, you can't go back and wire it. Especially when you have to spray for them. So we need to figure out the wiring first. We also need to figure out the solar combiner box. It'll probably be bolted here. Rather screwed in. And then the panel starts here. But then we'll drill in over there. So we'll have on the roof like a wire going across and down. That way we don't have to go through this. In a perfect world I would have already had this thing wired. But since this is only my second bus and I'm still learning. There's a lot of things to learn, right? Learn by doing. So when it comes down we're just going to run it down to here. And then just drop the whole bundle on the side. And then we'll make a little wire chase in the middle of this. And run it all the way down. So anyways. You can't get too far ahead of yourself on these things. Because it's really easy to mess up. Just like when you have a skylight. And then you start putting a deck over it. You gotta plan for things in advance. And when you don't know. That's a good saying that I like to say. You never know what you don't know, right? You would never know to do things in advance. You haven't done it before and haven't learned about it. So I'll throw you guys out there making mistakes. You'll learn as you go. Any viewers out there? Yeah, that goes over there. Of course, I didn't want her to do all the cutting. Because either way someone's going to say, Well, you're not doing anything.  So this way everybody gets a little piece of the action. So without further ado, let her rip. You don't know what you're doing? So here, let me go first. So just line the blade up. Usually you line this up with this. But he has a thinner blade. So just line that the blade up with the cutter mark. And then hang on to the thing. And try not to cut yourself, basically. I'm Tony Garrett from AM Solar. Saw my Instagram story. I've been trying to post more Instagram stories even though the videos are off in time. But he's like, I hope you're planning on running wires before you put the walls up. And I was like, Well, check this out. We got like a gap of three inches there. So we can just run all the wires and fun stuff down that thing.  Go up and over and through. That way I just feel like it might be easier if some accident happens. Or I don't know, we need to fix something or add something to, you know, grab wires out of somewhere and add, run another wire. It'll be a lot easier than taking everything out of the bus. Deconstructing, for instance, the back bed area.  Getting in there, you know, going up. You understand. So this is what we're working with. We're going to lunch right now. Also, the Chinese store that I've been religiously ordering from for the past week and been bugging them for their free oil. Well, guess who called me today? 15 gallons for free. So we're going to go pick some of that stuff up, have lunch, and we'll be back at it. Next day. You guys are ironing on wood. You guys ever heard of this ironing on wood before? Something kind of interesting. I have. I know you have, because you do this stuff. I have it, pretty crazy. But yeah, so they're putting the side on the plywood here to make it look like one cohesive old piece of wood. So you don't see this stuff. And yes, it says YouTube. This way, we're making them dirty. Yes. Alright, so we didn't really get too far beyond the walls yesterday. We had to go back to the store, get some stuff, but I think we're going to work on the front cap. Speaker, speaker. I should probably get them out of the box. We've got to run out of wire from the solar, get that down into the wire channel part. And I think if I could do that, it's already a little bit late in the day. Well, later in the day. We went for a little art walk, graffiti art walk. But I think if we could do that, that would be a good accomplishment. We're running on fumes today. Alright, we got sieve priming. And we got Justin putting on this end part right there. He's putting it down because it's copyrighted. Nobody likes copyright. I'll just keep talking about the music. But yeah, he's putting this ironing on the end piece and then sanding that down to make it look like, you know, one piece of wood. Now, these guys are mojo bus, by the way. This is what we're doing to try and get the curvature of the roof. I stick the cardboard up there first and I was like, you know what's more flexible than cardboard? Paper. So, we just do this in half. We're going to kind of average out the bumps and curves in this thing. And we'll try to get the cardboard as snug as possible before cutting into the wood because I'd rather mess up on cardboard than I would would. I don't know. So, thanks Rene for helping.
