if you have virgin ears, you might as well just turn it off right now because
you're not going to like this video. All of a sudden Judah is just like, "I
guess we're going to hold off on that uh 'whore burning' today because Tamar is more
righteous than me."
(Music plays)
Hey! It's Rachel. Today on Crack Your Bible, we are going to
be talking about a story that I guarantee that you have never heard told
like this before. This is going to be a companion video to
Friday's video, which is about the roles of men and women. I'm going to link it up
here. We are going to talk about what happens
when men "pump and dump" women, or use them for sex and then just throw them out.
When men abuse women, God has something to say about it. Now everybody who is a
Christian, they're familiar with like oh "Jesus is the Lion of Judah." And if you're
Catholic, you're aware of restrictions on contraceptives. So this is what we're
going to be talking about. We are going to be talking about the origin story
right here, right now. The Catholic Church does not understand this story. Most
pastors do not understand this story. So we are skipping ahead to Genesis 38
because this is a companion video to Friday's video, we'll talk about Genesis
7 at some point. I don't even know when. So, anyway. Let us just get into it. So
okay... I need to kind of set the stage for you. So imagine like 3,000 to 4,000 years
ago and you're in Israeli, Middle Eastern area. Okay so there is a family and there
are 12 brothers. And one of the brothers Joseph has just been sold into slavery
(Genesis 37:28-33 on screen) by his own brothers because they're jealous of him. And the brothers sold him into
slavery, but they told their dad, Isaac, that Joseph had been ripped apart
by wild animals, so he thought he was dead.
And one of the brothers' name is Judah. Jesus is called the "Lion of Judah"
because He comes from the tribe of Judah. So here's where we are in the story
because we have skipped over all of that backstory, so that we can answer this
question. Judah goes into the land of the
Canaanites - so people who are constantly mating with Nephilim that we've talked
about in Genesis 6. I'll link it right here. And he takes a wife for
himself. (Genesis 38:2-5 on screen) So
Judah and his wife, they have three sons. They have Er, Onan and Shelah. Yeah,
it's a... it's a man's name. And their firstborn, her marries this woman named
Tamar. Now
(Genesis 38:6-7 on screen) Er was evil so God killed him. God struck him dead. We don't know what
he did necessarily, but he was evil. God put him down.
So in that culture
you didn't have social services. You didn't have welfare. You didn't have WIC.
Everybody in the community needed to work together to survive. And women, once
they married somebody, they were part of that new family. Now they weren't part of
the their birth family, (Deuteronomy 25:5-10 on screen) so if something happened to their husband, and they
became a widow, they needed to marry another one of their husband's brothers
or relatives so that she could continue to be taken care of. Otherwise, she was
going to die. Period. Because in that culture, you didn't have a grocery store. You
couldn't just go out and like "okay, I'm going to go grab me a hamburger real
quick." No. You had to go hunt for your food. You had to go gather water. You had
to chop firewood. You can't do all of these things - spinning your own wool to
make your own clothes, if you're a single lady. You just can't do it. You
need a family around you and that is why children were so important. They were
imperative to a woman, because if a husband died, she was screwed. She was up a creek
because she didn't have protection. She didn't have somebody to make sure that
marauders or thieves didn't come get her, and rape her, or kill her, or take her off
into slavery. She didn't have somebody who could help with just the day-to-day,
you know, running of her life - as far as getting food or anything like that. So
she needs to have some sort of person to take care of her, whether that's a son or
a husband. So Tamar, when her first husband died, okay now its Onan's turn
(Genesis 38:8 on screen) to step up and marry Tamar, because Tamar - she is her husband's family's
responsibility. She needs them to take care of her and
if they don't, she will die. So it's imperative that she has a child. It's
like, "if you don't want to be with me, whatever, at least I have a son who can
take care of me and fend for me in my old age." But what does Onan do? Nope! Onan,
every time they're in bed together, going at it, having sex. What happens?
Right at the end, like right as they're about to, you know like, make it happen,
put a baby in her, Onan pulls out and just... all over the ground. All over her.
Whatever. If you have virgin ears, you might as well just turn it off right now
because you're not going to like this video.
But Onan, every time he's like you know "I didn't pick this girl." Like, "I don't even
care." Like, "I'm gonna get mine and I don't care if she doesn't have a kid." Like, "not
my thing." Like, "I'm gonna get me. I'm going to do me and you know I don't care about
this ho. Can't trust THOTS. Whatever." What is Tamar going to do? The
person that she stuck with, Onan, is using her for sex.
She can't divorce him. She can't leave him, because she is a widow. This is
their responsibility to take care of her. It's that family's job to make sure that she
has a child or somebody who can stand in the gap for her and take care of her. So
(Genesis 38:9-10 on screen) she continues to sleep with Onan and Onan just does not care. Peace out to
Tamar. Like, "I'm going to get mine." And this infuriates God because
she's a widow. Okay? You have a responsibility to take care of her. It is
your job to make sure that she is not dead on the street. She is your family.
You are the one who's supposed to step up and produce that heir for her, but
you're going to get yours. You're going to have sex. You're going to get off. You're
going to, you know, do your thing, but then you're gonna leave her high and dry. I don't
think so! Like... nope! You're done. So God - He kills him. You're done Onan. You're dead.
What is she going to do? Well, there's Shelah, and he's younger
though, so it's like... "okay. What am I going to do" Because he's a little too young to
marry right now." So she goes to her father-in-law Judah. Judah is like "go
back to your father's house and when Shelah is ready to marry, I'll give
him to you so that you can have that heir; so that you aren't a destitute
beggar woman sold into prostitution, or murdered on the street by a bunch of
vagabonds. So I'll come at you when Sheila is of age." What is Tamar going to
do? She goes home to her father's house, just like Judah, her father-in-law, who is
legally the one in charge of her, tells her to do. And then he's just like... "ummmm.
if Shelah gets with Tamar, he's probably going to die too. So even though
I told Tamar that I was going to I was going to give her to Shelah so that
(Genesis 38:11 on screen) she wouldn't be destitute. So that she wouldn't starve to death and die - eaten
by a pack of wolves. Oh, I'm just going to forget her. Who cares?
Out of my sight, out of my life. Not my problem anymore." But she is his problem.
So Tamar waits at her father's house. Years go by. Judah still hasn't come
a-knockin and she's not getting any younger. Like,
"okay, I only have so many years to have a kid before I am, you know, ready to just
jump off a bridge. Okay? So I need to have a kid so that I am not destitute." Judah
doesn't care. Not his problem.
(Genesis 38:12 on screen) Judah's wife dies and Judah's real upset
about it. So what does he do in his grief? Oh he goes and gets a prostitute. But
(Genesis 38:13-14 on screen) it's not just any prostitute - it's actually Tamar in disguise. Because she's
like, "you know what God? I have had it! I am going to die. I am going to starve to
death. I have to take care of me. Like... these
people are trying to murder me, like inadvertently trying to murder me."
So she disguises herself as a shrine prostitute. This is if I was Tamar. Like I
don't know what they looked like 3,000 years ago. I don't know what a
shrine prostitute looked like 3,000-4,000 years ago, but here's my
look. Okay so Tamar ( I'm Tamar over here.) She
disguises her face. She veils her face and she posts up like she is a
prostitute. And Judah comes up to her and for
whatever reason, like does not recognize who she is. (Genesis 38:15-16 on screen) (like okay, this is see-through. It's
not like she's wearing a bag over her head.)
And he's like, you know, "how much?"So clearly this was not his first rodeo.
This was not his first go-around, because he knows like, "okay, money first." Like,
money talks. What does Tamar do? She's no fool. She's like, "okay, I want you
to give me a sheep in exchange for sex." Like girl... homegirl is hungry over here.
Now Judah just doesn't bring along a bunch of sheep with him to his
prostitute activities. "Like oh, I'm going out tonight. Like let me get my let me
get my coin. (Grabs a giant sheep.)" No. So he's like, "okay obviously I don't have a
sheep with me, so what can I give you as a promise that I will give you this
sheep?" She's like "I want your seal. (Genesis 38:17-19) (So it's like a signet ring, which was
basically your signature back then.) I want your cord and I want your staff." So
homegirl got his driver's license and the title loan to his car. He has to come
back for this stuff, otherwise she's going to have his seal, which is like the
equivalent of him having a stamp every time she signs a document. She like, puts
his stamp on it and that's as good as if he did it himself, so it's legally
binding. So obviously he's going to want that back. So anyways, they do the deed.
They have sex. Like girl was HUNGRY if she's having sex with her father-in-law
when she knows he's like a gross scumbag. And this isn't the day before, you know,
Listerine, so you know it's just disgusting and depressing back then. They
do their deed. Judah goes home. Tamar goes home. (Real big disguise, right?)
Okay so Judah. What does he do? He tells his servant like, "hey I slept with a girl
and I need you to give her this sheep, so I can get my stuff back.
I need my staff. So again, you know, fight off animals and things like that.
Get my walking stick, my whip, back. And I need my driver's license back - my seal
and my cord. Got to get that back." His servant goes in to town, and was like
"hey, do you guys know where the shrine prostitute is? (Genesis 38:20-21) Like... we owe her some money.
I got something for her." And everybody in town is like... "there is no
shrine prostitute here." So the servant goes back to Judah and is like,
"I don't know what we're going to do because they said no shrine prostitute
(Genesis 38:22-23 on screen) is in that town." So it's like... okay so not only is Judah having sex with a
prostitute, but it's a shrine prostitute so obviously somebody who works at a
temple, who has sex in worship of a fallen angel - one of these demonic gods.
Judah, what are you doing?! So anyway, Judah is like "well I guess she
can just keep this stuff because, like, I don't really want this to get out that I
was, you know, hooking up with a shrine prostitute. I mean we... we tried. Like we
tried to get her money, but she just disappeared." Time passes. Three months
passes. Judah all of a sudden, I don't even know how this happens, Judah finds
(Genesis 38:24 on screen) out that his daughter-in-law, you know the one that he has abandoned to her own
father's house, is three months pregnant. All of a sudden,
Judah gets real concerned. "This is a blight on my family! How dare this whore!
we gotta burn her!" No joke - he's about to burn Tamar at, I don't know, at the stake
for getting pregnant. And it's like... okay hold on you. You promised her your son
Shelah. Where is he? Huh? I mean you obviously didn't care then. You didn't
make good on that promise. You've sent her away to her father's house to
basically roll over and die. Ad all of a sudden, now that she's pregnant, now you
care. Like... what? So she's pregnant, and he's like... "This is unacceptable! How
dare she! Let's burn her! And then she sends a note to him and she's like, "oh, btw, the
person I'm pregnant with - like this is their stuff. Do you recognize it?" Girl
could throw some shade. Cloud rolls over. Oh my gosh!
(Genesis 38:25 on screen) All of a sudden, Judah is just like, "I guess we're going to hold off on that uh
"whore burning' today because Tamar is more righteous than me because I'm the one
who knocked her up. Oops! Nevermind, we'll just call it off
and let's all forget about it."
What... WHAT?! So Tamar gives birth and when Judah and
his loser sons we're trying to screw her out of
having kids ,so that she could be taken care of in her old age,
God's like, "you know what? If they're going to do you dirty, I'm going to make it
rain on you - because you got twins! So I gave her two kids when you were trying
to make sure that she was dead in a ditch. So peace out Judah!" And guess what?
Guess what she has? (Genesis 38:29-30 on screen) Her two twins - they're both boys twin sons, how about that? Perez
and Zerah. And guess who came through those twins?
Jesus! Jesus is the
descendant of Perez, who is the descendant of Judah. So Jesus came out of
that hot mess. Because when you try to do people dirty, God is going to step in. He's
going to be like, "No you don't! I got this." So girls - if a guy is doing you dirty,
just know Jesus knows when you have somebody trying to destroy your life.
They're going to get theirs, and they don't care if you just are dead on the
trash heap. Guess what? They're going to get theirs, You're going to get yours. God has
your back. I just want to reiterate that the story of Tamar and Judah is NOT
about "they were having sex for non-procreative reasons, that's why God
killed him." NO! It's because he was trying to do Tamar
dirty. Judah was trying to do Tamar dirty. If it was like, "oh you can't
have sex without, you know, having a baby in
there," then this story would have ended with Onan dying, okay? Like five verses
in, now the story's over. Bye! The story is NOT about masturbation - it's
NOT about contraception. Hello?! If you have sperm, it's just sperm. If you have
an egg, it's just an egg. Like, until the two come together, they are not a baby.
When pastors are teaching that it's just like, "okay you did not understand the
story. It went over your head." It's about - you are to take care of the widows and
the orphans. You're not supposed to use them and abuse them. You're going to get
what you want out of them and then you don't care. God is the champion of the
widows. (Psalm 68:5-6) He is the advocate of the widows. He's the Father to the fatherless, okay?
God cares about these people, so when you do them dirty - guess what? God is coming
for you. He has your number. (Exodus 22:22-24 on screen) He knows where you live.
So I just want people to understand - you not do people who are beneath you, in
your mind, dirty, because God cares about those people. And He does not take kindly
to people who use and abuse people. And He for sure does not take kindly to
people abusing widows and using them for sex. Absolutely not! And you know, I kind
of see the same attitude of Judah today - where it's like, he can go to a shrine
prostitute. He can have sex with foreign women or do his thing outside of the
confines of marriage. But he's the first one to be like "BURN HER! She's a hoe!
She's a THOT." Like... and he just reminds me of guys today. They are on a Tinder
carousel. Thank you, Jesus, that I was already with my husband when Tinder came
out. Thank you! Men can sleep around with whomever that they wish. They don't have
to care about them. You know, Drake over here, "I'm telling her she's the one when
I'm not even planning to call." Like ten seats okay? Because God sees this.
All these people, "oh she want a ring but we're not trying to cuff these hoes." Like
you know what? Women should want to get married. That's an adult thing to do. You
should want to get married. It's not, "I'm just going to pump and dump somebody." But
you see these guys today - they want to just run through women, and if you don't
put out, all of the sudden, they ghost on you. You don't hear from them, and then all of
a sudden they are getting older. After that, after they've had a zillion sex partners.
and then you start getting phone calls because they think that
there are a Phoenix trying to rise out of the ashes of the bridges that they burnt.
Like, "Oh what are you up to? Oh, I miss you. Like... what happened to us?" Sit down! Like
they're the same ones online complaining about "oh, all these women
are hos, blah blah. I can't even find a good woman."
You were the one who was running through all these women. You're the one going to
churches trying to pick up girls, so that you can just have sex with, and
dump her, because you know that she hasn't slept around with a bunch of guys
and you're not gonna like catch anything.
So seriously
swerve
Go to the left.
But just know if you're like that, if you think that you're going to run through
girls and you're going to be, "oh woe is me, I'm so righteous, blah blah blah, all women are hos."
Like, you're the one who made them hos. You like... they weren't
sleeping with themselves. They didn't have sex with themselves. They were
obviously having sex with these these guys, so if you're that guy - STOP! Because
guess what? God has your number. Likewise, girls - don't hoe it up. Tamar was in a
life-and-death situation. But just remember - if anybody's trying to mess
with you, if anybody's trying to use you and abuse you
God has their number. Make sure to tell everybody that Tamar and Judah, the Lion
of Judah where Jesus came out of, is NOT about contraception - it's NOT about "oh
you can't have fun sex" because literally, Song of Saul is all about "you
have a great rack. Wou make me super horny." That's basically
what the Song of Solomon is. And if you've been following me on social media, on
Instagram, you've been seen Flirty Fridays where we are pulling out some
nasty verses on Friday so that you can drop some lines on your spouse. So anyway,
sex can be fun. Sex does not have to lead to procreation. God doesn't have a
problem with that, but what He does have a problem with is you pumping and dumping,
when she's expecting you to wife her up. So, anyway I will talk to you guys on
Wednesday and I would like you to like, subscribe and share and I'll see you
later. Bye!
