Hey, welcome to a sad addition

to the daily Bible podcast.

2

Do what you're doing here.

3

It seems like you're

already lamenting past.

4

I am I'm lamenting.

5

What are you lamenting?

6

Uh, that we don't really

know who wrote limitations.

7

True.

8

It's not a good reason, a little mento.

9

It is a good reason to discuss it

though, because it's clearly anonymous.

10

Yeah, we'll get there, but it's Sunday.

11

So happy Sunday, everybody.

12

Happy Sunday.

13

Yeah, we're, uh, we're glad that

you're tuning in for another

14

edition of the daily Bible podcast.

15

Yes.

16

We had or are about to

have church this morning.

17

And we've got our new setup.

18

We to see how that goes.

19

If you don't like it, let us know

specifically, pastor PJ, I have

20

not heard any negative feedback.

21

Everybody that's talked to me

has said how much they liked it.

22

Yeah, because the people who have

complaints are just saying, you

23

probably don't want to hear from me.

24

Is that it maybe is that,

does that usually happen?

25

Maybe has that because I want

to hang out with those people.

26

I think there's a lot of those people that

are church who would say, you know, it.

27

Nice.

28

I don't want to complain.

29

Don't wanna be that person.

30

Is it that?

31

Or they're like, it just doesn't move the

needle one way or the other for me, maybe

32

face me whatever way you want to face me.

33

As long as you preach the

word, then I'm good to go.

34

Well, we spend a lot of time

thinking about these things.

35

Pretty average lay person and they're

like, oh, it's a different direction.

36

For us though, we're agonizing and

praying and fasting and putting out.

37

Fleece on the front of our houses

to see what the Lord's will is.

38

We didn't oh, let's get an update

from you on the front of your house.

39

We haven't talked about

this in a while a while.

40

What's going on.

41

Is there been any.

42

Bombs dropped no bombs,

too, that I know of.

43

Anyway, if they have been there.

44

I've missed them.

45

And that's very possible because I

don't spend a lot of time outside.

46

And when it's a hundred.

47

Some odd degrees.

48

Uh, but I mean, according to the

camera, Yeah, nothing that has can,

49

I mean, I get a lot of hits on the

camera because it's facing outside now.

50

So yeah.

51

When someone walks by and does a dog

or whatever else, Did just goes off.

52

I typically don't look at it

unless there's a reason to,

53

and I haven't had any reason.

54

Now, if someone has seen something.

55

Um, Deanna told me and

they probably know better.

56

Cause I would, I would

not be happy about it.

57

Well, then there you go.

58

Congratulations.

59

It seems like the dog

situation is under control.

60

I don't know that I'm

just hoping that it is.

61

And then hopefully that's

the case for forever.

62

Yeah.

63

Hey, we went to a, a Cowboys

football game yesterday.

64

Did we?

65

We did.

66

How did it go for.

67

I don't know yet.

68

Yeah, we.

69

So it's Friday today.

70

Yeah.

71

And we're going to go tomorrow on

Saturday, Sunday, Sunday as you're

72

listening, but it's Friday for us.

73

Cause we're recording early.

74

Because we're going to go

watch the preseason Dean.

75

But the Cowboys doing their thing, I

guess the chargers against the charge.

76

Oh, that's cool.

77

I didn't realize it was those guys.

78

Yeah.

79

Yeah.

80

They're from Los Angeles.

81

Yeah, so you can cheer for the charter.

82

Yeah, that's right.

83

Yeah.

84

From LA right.

85

Do you know where they were before LA.

86

San Diego.

87

There you go.

88

Look at that.

89

Bingo.

90

Yeah.

91

Because there were

still a California team.

92

Yeah.

93

And before that they were all

sedated, they were, uh, were they

94

from like another state altogether?

95

The chargers.

96

Man that's beyond my memory

bank on that one, but he knows.

97

And if you do know, just

send us a quick note.

98

That'd be hell did you.

99

You know, the Kansas city chiefs

back-to-back world series.

100

Uh, world series super bowl champions.

101

They won the world series too.

102

It's amazing.

103

Did you know, they were

originally the Dallas Texans.

104

No way they weren't did not know that.

105

In fact, Lamar hunt.

106

Who's part of the hunt family

that makes Hunt's ketchup brand.

107

They, uh, they're the owners

and they have family roots that

108

come all the way back to Dallas.

109

Wow.

110

So that's some good roots.

111

In fact, down at the Arboretum in Dallas,

there's a body of water and across

112

from that is a really big old house,

big, old mansion that you can look

113

across and see, I might've seen that.

114

That's the hunt mansion.

115

The hunt family mentioned light.

116

It is okay.

117

I might've seen it cause I.

118

I did notice it as we were at the

Arboretum walking around, I noticed

119

several massive houses in the white

one stood out for whatever reason.

120

Yeah.

121

So that's really interesting when you're.

122

I've seen it.

123

So we're going to Jerry world.

124

Uh, tomorrow to ask him if we can have it.

125

For our church or just to have a small

donation, it seats like 110,000 people.

126

I take the donation.

127

So we're going to fill

that up anytime soon.

128

That's fair.

129

Yeah.

130

Ah, man, that guy could build us.

131

Th th that team is worth over $10 billion.

132

That's B that's amazing billion.

133

That was amazing.

134

He could build us a facility

state-of-the-art facility

135

and not even feel it.

136

No, it'd be pocket change.

137

Uh, it's just, it's crazy.

138

Well, when you ask him tomorrow,

let's just see what happens.

139

When you asked him on Saturday, I'm stoked

to know that he actually did what he did.

140

Well, Jeff lives across from Dak Dak.

141

That could build, build us

a facility and not be a drop

142

in the bucket for him either.

143

Taxing doxing Dax right now.

144

Only if people know where Jeff lives.

145

Okay.

146

While you're doxing, Dax.

147

That's where, sorry.

148

Dak non-tax Dak.

149

Dak.

150

Okay.

151

Well, you say tomato.

152

I see nobody says Dax.

153

Unless they're making you possessive.

154

Okay.

155

Rolling.

156

Dax home.

157

Okay.

158

Well, there, there you go.

159

Hey, today, we're doing a great song.

160

I just, I love this song so much.

161

I just came across it not too long ago.

162

And I love this song.

163

Have you heard God?

164

The uncreated one?

165

Yes.

166

This has been out for like

three years, four years.

167

Yeah.

168

It's a great song.

169

Yeah.

170

You should go listen to

that song wherever you are.

171

If you haven't heard it yet,

you're gonna hear it this morning

172

at church because our church.

173

But if you haven't go listen to it.

174

I heard there's new instrumentation.

175

This morning as well.

176

Yes.

177

In fact, I just got a notification that.

178

Oh, Amazon just delivered

a microphone for Viola.

179

Okay.

180

Yeah, I'm going to bring

that on Sunday and then we're

181

going to amplify some violas.

182

Yeah.

183

I was going to say, how many of

y'all is, do we have just the one

184

just, you know, It's gonna be great.

185

Facila Priscilla Rapido.

186

Let's play the Viola and

she's pretty good at.

187

That's awesome.

188

That's awesome.

189

That should be good.

190

Well, good.

191

Well, let's jump into limitations

and let's start with what we alluded

192

to, uh, who wrote limitations?

193

Well, read the book and you tell us.

194

I think it was Jeremiah.

195

And, and the reason being is this

is church tradition, church history.

196

It fits.

197

Uh, what we find in the book

is really a funeral dirge for

198

Jerusalem and a, and that's what

the five chapters and Mount to B's.

199

Uh, lamenting the

destruction of Jerusalem.

200

We're coming off of the book of Jeremiah.

201

So that's helpful for us with that

in our rear view mirror, Jeremiah

202

certainly was instrumental as well.

203

Some other profits as well during the

downfall of Jerusalem and towards the

204

end, we know he lived into the exile.

205

So that's why.

206

I mean contextually the magically, it

really does fit, which are my, but.

207

You know, full disclosure, you're

not going to find an author.

208

It doesn't say the word of the Lord came

to this person anywhere in the book.

209

Which is probably the biggest argument.

210

It's the anonymity of it.

211

All.

212

It doesn't say his name and he never says

like, he never takes ownership of it.

213

Some of the language is also different

from what you read in Jeremiah.

214

So there's something

there that's potential.

215

Um, again, historically people have,

uh, have given this and attributed

216

it to Jeremiah with good reason.

217

Yeah, he's called the weeping prophet in

part because of limitation, but you also

218

saw some of his tears in his own book

that does various name, and we're fairly

219

confident it's from him because it's done.

220

So.

221

So with that said there's a little bit of

argumentation within, within scholarship,

222

but I think you're probably safe to say.

223

Well, Jeremiah is as good a guess as any,

otherwise you're gonna have to say, well,

224

we don't know who wrote it and that's kind

of our posture too, with Hebrews, right?

225

It doesn't change the fact

that it's the word of God.

226

Uh, but we think it's fairly safe to

say Jeremiah is behind that panel.

227

Right.

228

Yep.

229

Limitations breaks down this way.

230

There's five chapters in a kind

of a general outline for you.

231

If you're wondering chapter one deals

with the destruction of Jerusalem,

232

chapter two, God's anger with the people.

233

Chapter three.

234

Uh, Jeremiah's grief over everything

or the author's grief over everything

235

happening here at chapter four.

236

God's wrath is highlighted

and chapter five is really the

237

prayers of the remnant and a.

238

And so that's kind of the outline here.

239

We're covering chapters one and

two today we'll hit the rest of the

240

book tomorrow and then we'll be in

the, is equal after that, which.

241

Ready to, uh, to talk about

some confusing things.

242

No, we did it last year.

243

I feel better now this year.

244

I mean, I don't feel like I have all

the answers and I'm like, all right.

245

I'm feeling, I'm feeling a

little more excited about it.

246

Fair enough.

247

Yeah.

248

That's.

249

Yeah.

250

And I feel like, hopefully

that'll, that'll, we'll hit

251

our stride and we'll buy.

252

10.

253

We'll have a little bit more to say.

254

We know we can do this in our sleep.

255

I.

256

I don't know about that.

257

We probably should.

258

Yeah.

259

Limitations one.

260

So we're dealing again here with

the destruction of the city, the

261

destruction of Jerusalem and Judah

at, by and large limitations.

262

One, one through two Judah was reaping

the consequences of her actions.

263

She was going to be deserted

and left, like a widow with

264

no one left to comfort her.

265

Uh, that the imagery here

in the book is, is poignant.

266

And it's, it's impactful.

267

It's helpful for us too, because you

can picture that you, you understand

268

what that's like, and this is,

uh, portraying the city in, in.

269

In this book, Jerusalem will be

personified, uh, multiple times and,

270

uh, and lamenting and mourning itself

and given voice itself by the prophet

271

over, uh, regretting and mourning over

this, the situation that it currently

272

faces, uh, verse four, uh, the memories

of the feasts linger in the author's

273

mind, but no more would be heard the

sound of the Mary pilgrims coming to

274

Jerusalem to celebrate and worship.

275

That is such a sad scene.

276

I found myself really.

277

Truly sad for the city as I

was reading this book, I think

278

more so than ever before.

279

Uh, the roads design more.

280

There's no one coming

to the feast anymore.

281

Passover feast of

Tabernacles, feast of booths.

282

And maybe just because we've been

going through John and we've been

283

talking about these feasts and how

much of a celebratory atmosphere was

284

there in the city during these things.

285

And now there's, there's no more.

286

it's empty.

287

These things have come to

an end because of the exile.

288

I mean, imagine tomorrow.

289

You see a headline?

290

America.

291

Destroyed by Russia or China or

some other ma mega world power.

292

Yeah.

293

It would be devastating for us.

294

I mean, I mean, just think about

Russian troops running their

295

Chinese or whatever troops you can

think running through your city.

296

Taken over.

297

Uh, disposing leaders and installing

their own and planting Russian

298

or Chinese flags at the helm of

your government institutions.

299

It would be so disorienting.

300

So jolting, so up ending of everything

that you knew, and that's a little

301

bit about what's happening here.

302

Because for, for all of their history,

they've noticed something like this.

303

They were nomadic for the early part

of their life through Abraham, but

304

they they're largely a stable people.

305

This is the first time that they have

been still overwrought and so judged

306

by God that they have been obliterated.

307

At least it feels like as a

people, everything that they were

308

familiar with gone, everything

that they took comforted, gone.

309

And they're now being taken over

to a new land with new customs and

310

Jeremiah says, Hey, buckle up, stay

there for the long haul, because

311

that's where you're gonna be now.

312

You know, we, I don't think we get

the sense or the scope of how earth

313

January, this would have been for them.

314

And I think the only thing that we

could think of is if we got invaded by a

315

foreign nation taken over, because there.

316

I think it'd be downsized.

317

Yeah.

318

Yeah.

319

Verse seven.

320

The city here is, is

personified as remembering.

321

Uh, remembering the days of her

affliction, she's remembering the

322

better days when things were, were

killed when things were, were.

323

Full and the celebration was there.

324

Verse eight.

325

Her current state is.

326

Less, we'd be confused

by this sin due to sin.

327

Jerusalem is sinned grievously now.

328

Obviously a city can't sin, but

the inhabitants can, and the

329

inhabitants are being personified

here as, as the city itself.

330

And so the reason why it was destroyed,

the reason why it was left without

331

UN-Habitat is because of her sin.

332

Uh, verse 10, the precious things that

she wants enjoyed for seven, the things

333

that she was looking back on fondly.

334

Th those things.

335

Now, verse 10 are in the

hands of the enemies.

336

They'd been carried

away and taken captive.

337

And so then in verses 12

through 22, Jerusalem has given

338

voice here by the prophets.

339

And Jerusalem speaks at

verses 12 through 15.

340

Uh, saying that the Lord had brought

all of this upon her, again, why?

341

For the sins of the people.

342

Uh, verse 18, she acknowledges that

the Lord was right to do this because

343

she had rebelled against his word.

344

That's why.

345

In the verses 21 through 22,

don't let my enemies gloat.

346

She praise and rejoice long over me.

347

And so there's a Jerusalem has repented

is, is doing what the people should do.

348

And we're going to find out when

we get later on in these books.

349

Uh, that's not exactly what the people

are doing in fact early on in ZQ.

350

We find out that, that the profit while

in exile is going to prophesied to God's

351

people and call them to repentance.

352

And they're not going to listen to it.

353

And so here, the city is by the

profit doing what the people

354

in exile should have done.

355

And realize, man, we're wrong.

356

We're sinful.

357

This has come upon us because of our sins.

358

God, forgive us.

359

The city is setting the example that

the people should pay attention to.

360

Right.

361

And one of the things that they

fail to do in verse nine is that

362

they took notes out of the future.

363

And that's obviously one

of the ramifications upset.

364

Xin, both blinds to your future.

365

And it also binds you in a subjugated way

to sin, to further send in your future.

366

So make note of that.

367

And as you read through this, again,

sometimes it's hard to read this

368

and say, what does this mean for me?

369

One of the things that led to this as

Patrick, Peter already alluded to in

370

verse five was because of their sin.

371

It was their sin that led them

to this kind of enslavement,

372

this kind of overcome.

373

So be aware and since still

has the same effects, it looks

374

different on different people.

375

And it's going to look different for us

376

the evil of sin and be aware of white.

377

Got otherwise it will fight you

and it will surely overcome.

378

Yeah, scary, scary thought.

379

And we, we have got to hate sin again.

380

Jude hate even the garment

stained by, by worldliness, right?

381

I mean that, that fear of being

polluted by the way deal closed, right?

382

Yeah.

383

Yeah.

384

Bye.

385

Christian t-shirts.

386

But off the old.

387

But on the new Christian

where a compass teacher, your.

388

Limitations to, uh, the plight of Israel,

basically in this chapter is a result

389

of the anger of God against the nation.

390

Uh, Verse two Judah was

in the state was in why?

391

Because of, again, his

wrath and his anger.

392

The Lord has swallowed up without mercy.

393

All the habitations of Jacob in

his wrath, he's broken down the

394

strongholds of the daughter of Judah.

395

And it's time you see

the daughter of language.

396

This is talking about the

inhabitants of a city.

397

Uh, the daughter.

398

Jerusalem, the daughter, Zion, the

daughter Eden at one point in time.

399

This is talking about the

inhabitants of the city.

400

And so that's the language that's

employed here in verse two.

401

Uh, verse five, the Lord had

become like an enemy to his people.

402

Again, we talked about that before the

Lord turning his face against the nation.

403

Here it's it's the Lord is the one that

has become like an enemy in verse five.

404

Again, not something that we ever.

405

Desire to be on the opposing side.

406

In fact, think about Romans five.

407

For God shows his love for us and that

while we were yet sinners, and then he

408

goes on to say, we were not friends.

409

We've got, we were enemies of him.

410

And yet he came after us with the gospel

and that's the good news for those of

411

us that have repented and put our faith

in Jesus as our savior, but for all

412

who haven't, they are walking today

as enemies of God, Romans two, five,

413

storing up wrath for themselves on the.

414

That's a terrifying thought.

415

Uh, and, and that should

impress be impressed upon us.

416

When you think about the neighbors

that are next door to you and across

417

the street from you and, you know, Th

that you see at your kid's swimming

418

pool and you realize, man, these

people are enemies of God right now.

419

And we've got the message

that can change all that.

420

We've got the message of hope

that can change all that.

421

And we also commit treason to when we

do the same as Christians, when we sin.

422

It is as though we're

treating God as an enemy.

423

Once more, when we violate

his leadership in our lives.

424

We continue to send.

425

So again, just be aware of that.

426

Yeah.

427

Yeah.

428

Firsthand.

429

Notice there's, there's no protest or

objection from the elders because they

430

know they have no ground to complain.

431

All they can do right now is

mourn in a, that struck me

432

this time, reading through it.

433

It says the elders of the daughter

of science, the elders of the people.

434

They sit on the ground in silence.

435

So they're not whaling.

436

They're not saying God, this isn't right.

437

This is unjust.

438

This is not fair.

439

I think there's a tacit.

440

Admission here from the

elders that, that, okay.

441

We, we get it.

442

We know why this has come upon us.

443

Again, they're not, they're not going

all the way as far as repenting and

444

in seeking the forgiveness of the

Lord and turning from their sins.

445

But I, I do think they're left

without any legs to stand on.

446

As far as being able to protest

what's what's happened here.

447

Verse 11.

448

Jeremiah is literally sick over the grief

you feel for the people at the city.

449

His eyes are spent with weeping,

his stomach churns in bile

450

poured out on the ground.

451

Bio only comes out when we throw up.

452

So you hear the, the, the

prophet, Jeremiah, whoever it is.

453

Is has been made sick over the plight of

the city in over the situation going on.

454

Like you said, if we woke up to those

headlines tomorrow, I think we would

455

have a similar reaction to that.

456

Um, yeah, verse 14.

457

Your profits failed you is the message

here by not exposing your sins.

458

And then verse 17, that the Lord has

accomplished all that he set out to

459

accomplish as the city lies in ruins,

the Lord had done what he set out to do.

460

So.

461

Um, Yeah, verse 22.

462

I mentioned when the prophet was

lamenting, Hey, that the feasts

463

are no more notice the language

of verse 22 is this chapter.

464

And he says, you summoned as if to a

festival day, my terrors on every side.

465

So instead of coming to celebrate,

that was just coming to the city.

466

As those that used to come to

the festival are the enemies.

467

Th th the terrorist, the dread that

the horrors of the, the judgment

468

of God upon the city there.

469

One of the things I noticed

here, we passed over, but let

470

me just quickly return there.

471

Verse nine.

472

He says that for gates

have sunk into the ground.

473

He has ruined a broken her bars.

474

Her king and princes

are among the nations.

475

That is they're scattered.

476

They've been decimated in

many says the law is no more.

477

Inner profits find no

vision from the Lord.

478

Now I thought of something

that would apply to us in.

479

In 2024, when we stop listening to

the Lord, the Lord stopped speaking.

480

Sometimes we can take for granted the fact

that we have access to all of this, this

481

plethora of information, we have podcasts

and we have multiple Bibles on the

482

shelf and sometimes it's as they'll be.

483

We take for granted the fact

that God speaks to us, he

484

reaches out to us with his truth.

485

He gives us.

486

The ability to respond to his word.

487

And there is a point of no return.

488

Sometimes we talk about God's

love as being an unlimited.

489

Uh, there, there there's no

bounce to, God's gracious, loving.

490

That's true in a sense, but

there is a sense in which God's

491

love does have boundaries.

492

There is a way that God can pursue.

493

I think the more we hold our hand out to

him and say, no, God, I don't want that.

494

God does stop pursuing it at some

point, I think Jesus alluded this.

495

When he talks about the blasphemy

against the spirit, there is a sin that

496

you can commit that can cause God to

say, okay, you've crossed the line.

497

And there's a line of a point of

no return and the Israelites across

498

that line, they stopped listening.

499

And so God stopped speaking.

500

I wonder if you're, if you're a currently.

501

Engaging with some kind of

sin and you know, you know

502

that you need to deal with it.

503

You need to confess it.

504

You need to repent and turn from it and

you keep on just assuming God's grace

505

will cover that and cover that and

cover that there is a stopping point.

506

There is a place where God's

going to say, okay, You want,

507

you're saying you can have it.

508

And it's going to lead to

further and further destruction.

509

And at some point we, we believe

Hebrews chapter total takeover.

510

God will discipline those whom he

loves as a father to disseminate.

511

I'm going to do the lights.

512

That's what it says there.

513

So be aware as we engage with sin.

514

The answer is not how much

can I get away with, but how

515

quickly can I depart with it?

516

How much can I kill it so that it

doesn't rear its ugly head in my

517

life in Cosmi to lament the loss

of all the benefits and privileges

518

that come with being a child of God.

519

Yeah.

520

Yeah.

521

I mean, I think it's in first Corinthians

where it talks about, or maybe it's second

522

Corinthians where it talks about, um, some

will be saved, but only as through fire.

523

That there are those

that are gonna reward.

524

Yeah.

525

They're, they're gonna, they're,

they're going to get through, but

526

they're not going to have the reward.

527

They're not going to have the things

to, to lay at the feet of Christ because

528

they've spent their life rejecting the,

the pursuit of God that they've spent

529

their life rejecting sanctification.

530

I mean, Romans 1 24,

therefore God gave them up.

531

Uh, Romans 1 26 for this

reason God gave them up.

532

Um, Romans 1 28.

533

And since they did not see fit to

acknowledge God, God gave them up.

534

And so that's what you're talking about.

535

There.

536

And it can be potentially for a believer.

537

Okay.

538

There's lots of reward.

539

It also can be, I'm giving you

over to self-deception right.

540

To thinking that you're right with me

when you're, you're not right with me.

541

And so, you know, go run, run

after the things that you want.

542

If you want them, I'm giving you

up over to these things, which

543

is a scary prospect horribly.

544

I can be so deceived.

545

And this is one of the reasons, I

mean, to go back to something you

546

talked about yesterday, I think.

547

Duane theology and community, just doing

life, a community with people that can

548

have our back and can help us to see

things that we otherwise might not see.

549

Yeah, we need this.

550

I want to, I want to know if my

heart's getting hard to the Lord.

551

I need someone to tell me.

552

Uh, maybe I know, but maybe I don't

because I'm blinded by something.

553

Yeah.

554

We need people like that who are in

your life to help say, Hey dude, you're

555

getting dangerously close to the line of.

556

You know, being aggressive toward the Lord

or being, being dismissive or rebellious.

557

All of that to say, Be aware of your

own heart to take, keep close watching,

558

keep it close, watching yourself.

559

And on the teaching, Paul says, Timothy.

560

By so doing, you'll see both

yourself and your hearers.

561

Yep.

562

Yeah.

563

Well, let's pray.

564

And then we'll be done with another

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

565

God, thanks for this.

566

This text, thanks for even just this

last discussion that we just had

567

here about the, the fear that we

should have of being turned over.

568

And I pray that we would

keep short accounts with you.

569

And I pray that we would be a church

that applies Galatians six one, that we

570

would be on guard against our brothers

and sisters being caught in any trespass

571

and, and seeking to restore them.

572

And got to pray that we, as a church

would be humble enough that when

573

somebody comes to us and says, Hey,

you know, brother, sister there's.

574

Their sin in the camp that we

would be humble enough to see that.

575

And to be quick enough to repent

from that list, we find ourselves

576

in a situation where you would

turn us over and say, okay, here.

577

You have it then in, in an

act of discipline against us.

578

Um, God, I pray that we would not

be self deceived, that there would

579

be nobody in our church, body, self

deceived into thinking that the

580

right with you when really there.

581

They're just fooling themselves into

thinking that everything's great because

582

they've gone to church their whole life,

or because they made a professional

583

early on and really there's no surrender.

584

There's no repentance,

there's no devotion to you.

585

And so God, we need you in that.

586

We need your grace in that we

need your mercy in that to be

587

kind towards us as a church body.

588

And so protects us from those areas.

589

We pray in Jesus name.

590

Amen.

591

Then we'll keep her in your Bibles

and tune in again tomorrow for another

592

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

593

Bye.
