And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. (Luke 24:50)1/ A Shepherd who leads his sheep out - John 10:32/ A people led out and separated .3/ A people blessed after being led out .Not the town of Bethany; could that be thought, it might be supposed that he led his disciples thither, to pay a visit to his dear friends there, Lazarus, Mary, and Martha, before his ascension; but the town of Bethany was fifteen furlongs, or near two miles distance from Jerusalem, John11:18 whereas the place from whence Christ ascended was but a sabbath day's journey from it, which was two thousand cubits, or about a mile, Acts 1:12. This Bethany, therefore, was a tract of land, so called from the town, which began at the Mount of Olives, where Bethphage ended; see Mark 11:1 and hither from Jerusalem Christ led his disciples.(Dr John Gill)

In this episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we journey through the remarkable life of John Gill, a monumental figure in Reformed theology whose unwavering commitment to Scripture has profoundly influenced the church. Born on November 23, 1697, in Kettering, England, Gill displayed a remarkable intellect from an early age, mastering Latin, Greek, and even teaching himself Hebrew by the age of 11. His passion for biblical languages paved the way for a life dedicated to theological scholarship. Gill's spiritual awakening began with a transformative sermon by William Wallace, leading him to join the Kettering Baptist Church. By 19, he answered the call to ministry, captivating congregations with his profound biblical insights. In 1719, he took on the role of pastor at the strict Baptist church in Horselyown, where he would serve faithfully for over 50 years. His sermons were characterized by their depth and clarity, rooted firmly in Reformed doctrine. Among Gill's most significant contributions are his Verse by Verse Commentary on the Bible and A Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity, which collectively provide a thorough exposition of Reformed theology, emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the covenant of redemption. Despite facing accusations of Hyper Calvinism due to his strong stance on predestination and election, Gill's rigorous scholarship and commitment to the authority of Scripture remain undisputed. His influence reached notable theologians such as Charles Spurgeon, who revered Gill's theological insights. Today, John Gill is celebrated as a scholar-pastor whose life exemplifies a dedication to the faithful exposition of God's Word. His legacy inspires us to ground our faith in Scripture and pursue a deeper understanding of God's truths.

"Just over a year after John Gill's death, another man was born who called himself a Strict and Particular Baptist. He stood in the line of those often called hyper-Calvinists. His name was William Gadsby and while he shared the strong Calvinism of Gill, his life circumstances and ministry were considerably different in some ways. If you have heard his name before, it is probably in relation to his well-known hymnal, usually referred to simply as “Gadsby's Hymns”. He was a man of conviction and generosity; a writer and editor; but foremost a fervent and frequent preacher."

"The question some of you may have been waiting to hear addressed is the relationship between John Gill and hyper-Calvinism. Does Gill qualify as such? For some historians and theological writers, to ask the question is to answer it: of course he was. For them, Gill is the arch hyper-Calvinist who espoused damaging errors and practices. Others claim that Gill was simply a Calvinist fully in line with the previous generations of Particular Baptists.

Today, John Gill is predominantly known for his writings. These amounted to over 10,000 folio pages. A folio was the full sheet of paper, 19 by 24 inches, then used by printers. With this quantity of output, no wonder one man gave Gill the nickname, “Dr. Voluminous”. I'll describe many of his writings in the next few minutes, but what is not usually appreciated is that virtually all of his publications grew out of his pastoral ministry. John Gill was first and foremost a pastor, serving a specific London congregation and from there made connections with other Baptist churches and orthodox Christians. So Gill's primary work was feeding the Word of God to the flock of God where he had been placed.

Thursday, 31 October 2024   They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Matthew 4:20   “And immediately, having left the nets, they followed Him” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told Simon, called Peter, and Andrew to follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men. With that called out, it next says, “And immediately.”   There is no sense of hesitation. When Jesus was baptized, it said that He immediately went up from the water. One act followed directly after the next. That is how it is here. From the parallel account, it is understood that they already knew Jesus was the Messiah, having come with Him to the region of the Galilee.   While there, they went back to work in order to continue their profession. In responding to this call, however, a break from that has taken place. This should not be pressed too far as they will continue to fish even after the resurrection as noted in John 21. However, upon receiving this call, it next says, “having left the nets.”   Again, though sermons and scholarly writings indicate that they simply walked away from the nets, leaving behind their livelihood, that must be inserted into the narrative. Were they with others who they left the nests with? Did they roll them up and put them in the boat for later use? Or did they just drop the nets and walk away? Our minds will make up what we want the narrative to say regardless of whatever really happened.   The word translated as nets is diktuon. This is the first use of it in Scripture and it is completely different than the word used in verse 4:18. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says it is the generic term for any type of net, including fishing. Whatever they did with them, they left them, and “they followed Him.”   Smart move on their part. Nothing in the narrative is forced. Nothing says that they were regenerated in order to follow. Jesus called them and they responded in faith that He was their Messiah. This is recorded in John 1 –   “Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!' 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, ‘What do you seek?' They said to Him, ‘Rabbi' (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), ‘where are You staying?' 39 He said to them, ‘Come and see.' They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour). 40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah' (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, ‘You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas' (which is translated, A Stone).” John 1:35-42   Life application: You may have sat in a church and heard a sermon on this passage. Think of what you heard. The pastor probably said how amazing it was that these two got a call from someone, they were stunned at His offer, and they simply walked away from their nets and started a new life, abandoning everything in the process.   You may have inserted your own thoughts into the narrative as well, such as the color of the water, the size of the Sea of Galilee (if you had never seen it), the color of the sky, and so forth. You may have even made a mental image of Jesus and the two apostles. Of this verse, John Gill says –   “That is, as soon as he had called them, they left their worldly employment, and followed him; they gave up themselves to his service, and became his disciples; they not only left their "nets", but their fishing boats, and fishing trade, and all that belonged to it, even all their substance; and also their relations, friends, and acquaintance, see Matthew 19:27 which shows what a mighty power went along with the words and call of Christ; and what a ready, cheerful, and voluntary subjection this produces, wherever it takes place.”   Obviously, based on the commentary above, his words are not actually supportable from what the rest of the gospels continue to show. But this is how Gill perceived things.   People often get in a tizzy over movies about the Bible, especially movies about Jesus. They will spend all of their time cutting apart the movie as if it is supposed to be some type of exacting presentation of Scripture, and any deviation from it is heretical.   But you have just been thinking of the color of the sky and what Jesus looks like to you while reading my comments. With that type of logic, either my words were leading you into heresy, or your thoughts have led you into it (terrifying, for sure!). That is unreasonable.   People who have watched and loved The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston may refuse to watch The Passion of the Christ or a series like The Chosen. Why? Probably because one is a Hollywood blockbuster that was never intended to be anything but a drama about the life of Moses while the others are held to some inordinately high standard for... for what reason?   Innumerable people love The Greatest Story Ever Told, and yet Max Von Sydow (Jesus) was an atheist or agnostic (he wasn't sure). Curiously, he also played the devil in Needful Things. But what do those things have to do with the content of The Greatest Story Ever Told? Lots of people watched that, and probably many of them malign other more biblically accurate movies or series.   As for actors, it is common for people to ridicule The Passion of the Christ because some of the actors are sinners (hmm....) but they don't mind watching The Ten Commandments with Yul Brynner as one of the actors. But it is generally accepted that he was bisexual. In Ben Hur, another great movie. The lady who played Esther, the female star, Haya Harareet, was a twice-divorced Ashkenazi Jew. Throw up your arms! She didn't even believe in Jesus.   The movie won 11 Academy Awards and is loved by Christians everywhere, and yet it has almost nothing to do with Scripture, and nobody cares about the actors' personal lives. The attack by Christians over well-made Christian movies is totally hypocritical.   And more to the point, the same people who tear apart Christian movies are almost 100% guaranteed to watch any given Hollywood movie or TV show. Which is going to be more edifying?   Don't let people rob your joy over presentations of Scripture that may not be minutely precise. If that is what you are looking for, you probably should not think while reading the Bible, lest your mind insert something that actually didn't happen in whatever story you are reading.   A town in Germany, Oberammergau, has held a Passion play every decade since 1634. It is performed on the world's largest open-air stage. One can be assured that the play is directed by sinners, played by sinners, and does not exactingly follow Scripture, and yet it has been a cherished part of their history for almost four hundred years.   Instead of tearing apart those who are trying to make a difference in films and videos in regard to their efforts to exalt the Lord, be someone who is willing to simply enjoy these treasures for what they are. Fill your life with Jesus in whatever way is edifying and which exalts Him.   Lord God, thank You for plays, films, and reenactments of our Lord Jesus. They help us to keep our mind on what is good, even if they are not word for word in accord with Your word. They are there to make a difference, and for many of us, they truly do. But, Lord, help us always to put Your word above all else when it comes to our understanding of You and what You expect for us. Amen.

John Gill Pt.3: Death of Elizabeth Gill | Particular Pilgrims "We learn the most about John and his daughter Elizabeth because when she died at age 12, he preached her funeral sermon. This was printed and he appended a short account of things she told her parents in the days leading up to her death. In the sermon John refers to her as “our dear child”. And at the service he suddenly had to break off his prepared remarks because “my affections will not permit me”. Later, he and his wife collected from memory as best they could what Elizabeth had said and this became “An Account of some Choice Experiences of Elizabeth Gill, who departed this life May 30, 1738.” For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cbtseminary/support

Saturday, 20 July 2024   Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. Matthew 1:13   “And Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor” (CG).   The previous verse ended with, “and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel.” Matthew's genealogy leading to Israel's Messiah now continues with, “And Zerubbabel begot Abiud.”   This listing does not match that of 2 Chronicles 3, which says –   “The sons of Pedaiah were Zerubbabel and Shimei. The sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith their sister, 20 and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed—five in all.” 2 Chronicles 3:19. 20   From this list, it is believed by some that Abiud is the same as Hananiah in that genealogy. John Gill thinks he is the same as Mushullam. Either way, the reason for the variance in names is that someone “...might have two names; nor is this unlikely, since it was usual, especially about the time of the Babylonish captivity, for men to have more names than one, as may be observed in Daniel and others, Daniel 1:7 where they went by one, and in Judea by another” Gill.   The list continues with “and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor.”   Neither name is listed in 2 Chronicles. None of the names from this point on are recorded in Old Testament Scripture because of the dating of 2 Chronicles which ends prior to the intertestamental period.   Of this record, Bengel says –   “Hiller explains in his Syntagmata, pp. 361, sqq., where he shows, that the Jews acknowledged the genealogy in the said passage of Chronicles to be that of the Messiah: nor, indeed, was it necessary that any other genealogy should have been carried further down there than that of the Messiah. There can, therefore, be no doubt but that the passage in question was particularly well known to the Jews; and there was, consequently, the less need that St Matthew should repeat it in extenso. In this generation, then, concludes the scripture of the Old Testament. The remainder of the genealogy was supplied by St Matthew from trustworthy documents of a later date, and, no doubt, of a public character.”   Life application: The genealogical records in the Old Testament were meticulously maintained, but they didn't account for differences in names at the time when two names were used. They simply listed a name and continued on. As such a lot of research is often needed to know who is being referred to. At times, speculation must be made.   An example of one person with two names is found in the sons of Saul –   Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.” 1 Chronicles 9:39   The son named Esh-Baal is the same as Ishbosheth recorded in 2 Samuel 2:8. Likewise, the son of Jonathan, Mephibosheth of 2 Samuel 4:4 is called Merib-baal in 1 Chronicles 8:34. These things can be deduced from the surrounding text within the narratives at times, but the point is that people being given two names is not unusual, nor is it something that is always noted.   As noted above, Daniel and the three men noted with him in Daniel 1:7 were given new names when they were exiled to Babylon. If their names were recorded, normally only one would be maintained in a particular genealogy. This makes things both difficult and, at times, completely unsure. However, in the Bible, there is enough information for us to be certain that Jesus is the Messiah. Even with a difficult genealogy to consider, innumerable other clues point both to the timing of His coming and the role He would fulfill.   Let us be confident that we have a sound and reliable record of what God intends for us, even if we do not have all the answers to various genealogical difficulties at this time.   Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word which gives us great insights into what You have done and continue to do in the stream of history to bring us back to Yourself. Above all, thank You for Jesus who is so prominently on display in the pages of the Bible. We have every assurance that we are following You properly when we choose to follow Jesus. Amen.

Monday, 1 July 2024   preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. Acts 28:31   A more literal rendering is, “Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching these about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness – unrestrictedly” (CG).   In the previous verse, it was noted that Paul dwelt two full years in his own rental while receiving all who came to him. With that remembered, we now come to the final verse in this marvelous book called Acts. It finds Paul busily doing what he was called to do so many years earlier by his Lord. Luke notes he was “Proclaiming the kingdom of God.”   It is a certainty that if there is a kingdom, then there must be a king over that kingdom. This final verse of Acts dispels the false teaching that Jesus is not a reigning King over the church and that the kingdom only refers to an earthly kingdom that Jesus will reign over during the millennium.    Paul teaches the present reality of the Christian kingdom numerous times, and he also speaks of it as a future reality. This is not unlike salvation itself. We are saved for a future state of eternal existence that we do not now fully possess. And so, salvation is both a present reality as well as a future hope. This is true with sanctification, etc.   As for the kingdom being a present reality, Paul says elsewhere –   “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13, 14   Such doctrine as this concerning the kingdom constitutes what Paul would have said to those in his rental in Rome. With that, Luke next records, “and teaching these about the Lord Jesus Christ.”   Again, if there is a kingdom, there is a king. In the case of the Kingdom of God, its King is the Lord Jesus Christ. This precept is not to be ignored. Jesus fills innumerable roles for His people. He is their Savior, Redeemer, Hope, Lord, Passover, Shepherd, etc.   Each of these roles helps us to better understand and appreciate what God in Christ has done. Paul would have spent innumerable hours explaining these things to anyone who came by to hear the good news or to receive doctrine concerning these.   But considering that Paul was proclaiming this kingdom right in Rome, it is telling us that despite having real human governments and authorities placed over us and to whom we are to be subject (Romans 13:1-7), we have a higher allegiance and an eternal hope that is grounded in Jesus Christ.   Paul's words could have caused a lot of trouble if they were taken out of the greater context of his teachings. But with a Roman guard standing right there, the context would have been maintained and any accusations against him could easily have been cast aside.   The guard could testify that Paul's proclamations concerning King Jesus were a future hope as well as a present state that called for him to yield to the authorities over him at the same time. Thus, Paul was safe in his proclamation. And it was a proclamation that he made “with all boldness.”   Paul never shied away from saying exactly what was proper and appropriate. In Galatians 2, it was seen that Peter was stepping back from the gospel and being led astray by the false teachings of the Judaizers. When that happened, Paul gave him an earful –   “Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; 12 for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. 13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ‘If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.'” Galatians 2:11-16   This is the type of boldness that defined the apostle Paul. He was unashamed to stand against those who would compromise the gospel, even if it included an apostle who had lived with and experienced the first-hand workings of the Lord Jesus. When Peter shied away from what he was called to proclaim, Paul boldly corrected him.   To this day, Paul's epistles continue to do this for us. If we, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, are willing to hold to the word faithfully, we will proclaim what God has inspired through Paul, never waffling on what he has set forth for us.   Luke next finishes the book of Acts with true flair. His writings have introduced an enormous number of rare words, some are only found within the pages of Scripture. Of Paul's bold proclamations, Luke finishes the book with the word akólutós, unrestrictedly.   It is an adverb found only here, coming from the negative particle a, and kóluó, to hinder, prevent, debar, etc. Thus, it signifies unhindered, unrestricted, etc. A single adverb to appropriately carry the sense would be “unrestrictedly.”   Paul was not forbidden to speak, and he faithfully used his privileges to boldly proclaim the goodness of God by sending Jesus to do all things prophesied, even from the earliest pages of Scripture.   Life application: In his own hired quarters, Paul could preach of the kingdom of God and teach from copies of the Scriptures that he surely possessed. His words would speak of all of the things which pointed to and spoke of Jesus.   The fullness of this message, however, has not yet been fully searched out. Paul merely opened up the eyes of the Gentiles to the Word of God and to the power of His salvation. He proclaimed it with confidence because he was a Jew who was regarded as a Jew, teaching a valid interpretation of the Jewish religious system which was considered legitimate under Roman law.   Because of his place and position, John Gill states -   “...not the Roman emperor, nor the Roman senate, nor any other magistrate; nor could the Jews hinder him, nor was his mouth to be stopped by any; nor could the open door of the Gospel be shut, or its course be impeded; for though the apostle was bound, the word of God was not.”   Paul was left unhindered in his speech and teachings. In reality, it was the sweetest spot for the man to be in. He was doing what he loved most, and he was doing it in the very center of the Gentile nations that he had been called to minister to.   With this, the book of Acts has come to its completion. For those who have participated in the original publication of this commentary, it has taken you through 1007 verses, one per day, equaling a time of study and contemplation of 2.76 years. Your time with me has been most appreciated.   For those who came in later or who will read this in the future, thank you for sharing in the book of Acts. May God bless you as you read and study it and the rest of the body of Scripture all the days of your life.   This work would not have been possible without the following people who voluntarily assisted in ensuring it would make it to those who have followed along, doing this every single day over the past 1007 days:   Joey D'Andrea Bob Hart Daniel Higgins Mike Konrad Wade Nolan   May the grace of God be with you always.   Lord God, thank You for the book of Acts, one of the sixty-six best books in Your precious word. And above all, thank You for Jesus Christ our Lord who is the center and focus of Acts, and indeed all of Scripture. Thank You for our precious Lord Jesus. Hallelujah and Amen.

"The second man we need to know when considering Hyper-Calvinism in 18th-century English Particular Baptist life is John Brine. He was born in 1703 in Kettering, the same city that produced John Gill and Andrew Fuller. His family was poor and he was soon put to work, not allowing him much opportunity for an education. But he taught himself to read and began a life- long habit of immersing himself in good books. As a young man, he came under the occasional preaching of John Gill, who was six years his senior.

"During this time, William constantly studied his Bible and read a wide range of evangelical authors. These included Calvinistic Anglicans like William Romaine and James Hervey and many volumes of John Gill and John Brine, the high Calvinistic Baptists. This appreciation for and experience of the value of other genuine Christians, even of a different mind in some things, was always a part of Steadman's life. While a convinced Particular Baptist with strong evangelistic impulses, he appreciated and cultivated friendships across the evangelical spectrum. In this he was representative of many Particular Baptists." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cbtseminary/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cbtseminary/support
