Speaker:

Hey everybody.

2

:

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

How are y'all doing?

4

:

Is everyone doing okay?

5

:

We'll wait.

6

:

We'll wait for you to respond

to that, but only a second.

7

:

Yep.

8

:

Okay, because that's where I cut us off.

9

:

I know you don't let long

periods of silence in there.

10

:

I don't.

11

:

I don't like to waste your time.

12

:

So if you really wanna take time to

talk to us, just go ahead and hit that

13

:

pause button and we'll just sit here.

14

:

We'll wait for you while you talk

it out, and then you can hit play.

15

:

And then we'll say, Hey, we really

appreciate you sharing that with us.

16

:

We took that to heart.

17

:

We're listening.

18

:

Yeah, we're here for you.

19

:

That's sad, man.

20

:

I hope you have a real person to talk to.

21

:

Don't talk to the podcast.

22

:

That's true.

23

:

Talk to a real person.

24

:

That's true.

25

:

Or come talk to us in the

office if you want to.

26

:

If you're part of our church,

we invite you to come in anytime

27

:

to see Pastor PJ or Lewis.

28

:

Kelly's always here.

29

:

She'll, she'd love to welcome you.

30

:

We've got good snacks.

31

:

Hey, this this Sunday we're

launching a brand new series at

32

:

church on the minor prophets.

33

:

And just as a heads up to parents,

we are starting with the book of

34

:

Hosea, which is a little spicy.

35

:

So I, full disclosure, I'm still trying

to figure out how, what word I'm gonna

36

:

use to describe the woman in Hosea.

37

:

Ladies parents, just a heads up on that

if you normally keep your kids with

38

:

you and don't send 'em to our kids men.

39

:

Just be forewarned that it's a

spicy book on, on Sunday as we

40

:

jump into the minor profit series.

41

:

But on that note, I was thinking about

some other things going on in pop culture.

42

:

Pierre, I'd love to get your thoughts

on how we should think about, or I.

43

:

And how much we should be invested

in or curious about, for example the

44

:

P Diddy trial going on right now,

or the Epstein list and things like

45

:

that, that have been, people have

talked about we're gonna lease release

46

:

this list and we're gonna release the

people that have been involved in this.

47

:

And I think it's whipped

up a bunch of frenzy.

48

:

Everybody's we wanna see the Epstein

list, or we want to know who was at

49

:

the parties with P Diddy as Christians.

50

:

Do we care?

51

:

Does it register for us?

52

:

How do we, because obviously we know

there's the giving ourselves over to the

53

:

voyeuristic element of it, or to be overly

involved or overly curious about it.

54

:

But should we care even as these

things are splashing across the

55

:

headlines, do we, should we sit there

and say they need to release the list?

56

:

Yeah.

57

:

Okay.

58

:

Couple things.

59

:

Number one, scripture talks about

Christians being those who pursue justice.

60

:

Yeah, we want justice.

61

:

Yes.

62

:

And even from a human standpoint,

this is what God charges

63

:

Israel with failing to do.

64

:

They don't love justice.

65

:

They don't love mercy.

66

:

They're not doing the right things.

67

:

And so God calls him to task and saying,

look, one of the reasons that you're going

68

:

to be sent to the Assyrians and to the

Babylonians is because you're failing it.

69

:

Bringing about justice, you're

not doing the right thing.

70

:

And so I think a Christian always

has a vested interest in seeing

71

:

that his government, her government

is pursuing righteous causes.

72

:

And so to that end, I would say

Diddy and Epstein and whoever else,

73

:

there's been lots of people in the

past 10 years, especially during

74

:

the Me Too movement, even those who.

75

:

Were guilty of certain

things during the lockdowns.

76

:

I think about some of the people that

were exonerated, or not exonerated,

77

:

they were j Joseph Pardoned.

78

:

Pardoned.

79

:

Thank you.

80

:

That's the word I was looking

for before he left office.

81

:

Christians feel the pain

of that because that's, I.

82

:

That's justice.

83

:

That's the foundations of justice being

a, they're crumbling at the foundations.

84

:

So we care about justice.

85

:

Christians always care about justice.

86

:

Christians vote for just laws.

87

:

Christians wanna see justice enacted.

88

:

Christians are all about righteousness.

89

:

We want that.

90

:

I.

91

:

All that to say, there are

times when you said it.

92

:

I think we have a voyeuristic interest

in things and that's part of what the

93

:

news cycle is intending to incite in us.

94

:

They're not trying to inform and to

say, here's a way to think about this.

95

:

That would be helpful and wise and

God would approve the thinking.

96

:

This over.

97

:

No, it's always clickbait.

98

:

You'll never guess who's

on the Epstein list.

99

:

You won't believe it when we tell you and

of course it's all this click baby stuff

100

:

that's, it's oh, I wanna know who that is.

101

:

Oh, what kind of parties did he had?

102

:

And look at this video.

103

:

Or he looked at this person the

wrong way and now it's all obvi.

104

:

This is stuff that's meant to

entice or flesh right, and we ought

105

:

to be wise enough to see that.

106

:

So should a Christian care, yes.

107

:

Should a Christian be enticed, unaware?

108

:

Should a Christian be ensnared

by their lustful appetites?

109

:

No, and that's where

the line is often clear.

110

:

But not always.

111

:

And so it's important that you recognize

your news source doesn't always

112

:

have your best interest at heart.

113

:

Your news source, even if it's from

a reputable newspaper, and I'm gonna

114

:

use air quotes to say reputable,

because they're not all that.

115

:

Even if they look that way, you

need to be discerning enough to say,

116

:

is this the kind of source that I

should be reading about this topic?

117

:

Again, you care about justice.

118

:

We want that.

119

:

We pray for that, we pursue that,

but not all sources are equally

120

:

helpful or equally qualitative.

121

:

I would agree that's great advice.

122

:

And it is an issue of the heart.

123

:

It's what's your heart's motive

in wanting to know these things

124

:

and wanting to find these things

out and chasing them and, yeah.

125

:

And the point of a clickbait

thing is to bypass your thinking.

126

:

It's not meant to say,

Hey, think about this.

127

:

Do you want, it's, no.

128

:

It's meant to appeal

to your lustful flesh.

129

:

Tell me more.

130

:

I want to hear gossip.

131

:

I want salacious details

about this and that.

132

:

I wanna know.

133

:

It's like one of those things that

there's something in the human nature.

134

:

The fallen human nature that says,

I wanna see the gory evil nonsense,

135

:

and I want to be entertained by that.

136

:

That's a bad indication.

137

:

I don't think that's a good thing that

you should allow yourself to pursue

138

:

or to entertain, because that doesn't

help the spirit that entices the flesh.

139

:

What is the proverb that talks

about gossip is like a morsel

140

:

that goes down into that.

141

:

It goes down, yeah.

142

:

That's what I was trying to look it up.

143

:

I'll cut out the silence.

144

:

Thanks, man.

145

:

Do.

146

:

It can't cut that out.

147

:

If you're gonna do.

148

:

All right.

149

:

Proverbs 18, eight.

150

:

The words of a whisper are

like a delicious morsel.

151

:

They go down into the inner

parts of the body that that's.

152

:

Summing up what we're talking about here.

153

:

All of our news media

outlets are whisperers.

154

:

Yeah.

155

:

That's all they are.

156

:

Most of them anyway.

157

:

Buzzfeed, I think of let's talk

about some recent regular offenders.

158

:

Most everything on Facebook Yep.

159

:

Is click bait.

160

:

And it's meant to be

this, it's provocative.

161

:

It's meant to draw your attention.

162

:

It's not meant to help you.

163

:

It's meant to get you down a rabbit hole.

164

:

In fact, when you click on

those links, and I don't.

165

:

Know this, except by my own experience,

it takes you to links that are like,

166

:

oh, here's 50 other ones that you'll

wanna look at that are also just as

167

:

salacious and gory and whatever else.

168

:

So most of Facebook Pro, I don't

know, X is 50 50, I feel like.

169

:

Yeah, sometimes you get good

ones, other times not so much.

170

:

I guess I.

171

:

Let's just say this, that the quality

is a big deal and finding quality

172

:

sources for your news and for your

information is really challenging.

173

:

Today it's really hard, but

this is part of our job.

174

:

Yeah.

175

:

And there's a, I'm not gonna go all

Trump and be like, fake news but

176

:

there's a ton of fake news that's

out there on both sides, though.

177

:

Both sides, but not even that.

178

:

Just in the influencer world too.

179

:

Oh, yeah.

180

:

Like we've made a lot of jokes and

comments, offhand, comments about,

181

:

microplastics and stuff like that.

182

:

I referenced this account literally on, on

Sunday where this woman like get, is like,

183

:

Hey ladies, you all need to be waking up

and grinding your own sausage and making

184

:

your own biscuits and preparing, home Jam.

185

:

Yeah.

186

:

She, oh, she just models it.

187

:

She does it.

188

:

But then she says, why are you

buying butter from the grocery store?

189

:

It's got all of these additives

and all of these other ingredients.

190

:

Butter needs to have

just milk and salt in it.

191

:

It's you live on a farm in Idaho, so

you can do that, but for the rest of

192

:

these normal people, all that to say,

yeah, people are excited about that.

193

:

In fact, if I remember

right, I heard a few mms.

194

:

How'd you feel about that?

195

:

Yeah, I was glad about that.

196

:

I was like, yeah I will preach that.

197

:

Yeah.

198

:

Don't take every homeschool mom's

PhD to the bank for you on how to,

199

:

how you should be raising your kids.

200

:

Do what's best for your family and then.

201

:

Let everybody else live their life.

202

:

Yeah.

203

:

I saw recently on x, one of the accounts

I follow, they posted about Vodi Baum.

204

:

Yeah.

205

:

There's this website on,

or this channel on YouTube.

206

:

I sound like an old person already.

207

:

There's this Google it on

YouTube, Google Let's, yeah.

208

:

Anyway there is this channel on YouTube

that is a bunch of Vodi sermons.

209

:

Yeah.

210

:

They look like Vodi.

211

:

They sound like Vodi.

212

:

They're like three things.

213

:

Every guy needs to know about this.

214

:

Something like that.

215

:

And the website highlighted

the fact, rather the.

216

:

The X account highlighted the fact

that these are all AI generated.

217

:

Yeah.

218

:

They're all taking his voice and

putting together vodi like sermons

219

:

based on content that he's producing.

220

:

I thought that's terrifying.

221

:

Yeah.

222

:

Cool.

223

:

Because it sounds so convincing.

224

:

It looks good.

225

:

It sounds provocative.

226

:

It's just, yeah.

227

:

This is a difficult time to be alive.

228

:

Somebody's doing that with

MacArthur too, actually.

229

:

Not surprised.

230

:

Yeah, not surprised.

231

:

Yeah.

232

:

Nobody's doing that with me.

233

:

Not yet.

234

:

Not that I know of.

235

:

But I do it.

236

:

I'm, yes you do.

237

:

I just, but I take what's already there

and just, and I use it for my purposes.

238

:

That's different.

239

:

You just take it outta

context and put it over here.

240

:

That's it.

241

:

Alright.

242

:

Let, by the way, lemme give you a caveat.

243

:

I didn't mean to put all

homeschool moms on blast.

244

:

We love you guys and not all of y'all are.

245

:

There's regular moms and not regular moms.

246

:

See, I'm just getting, you can

just delete all that stuff out.

247

:

Pastor Rod, you can just cut all that.

248

:

That's what makes us endearing.

249

:

Yeah, it's.

250

:

Words.

251

:

That's not perfect.

252

:

Hold on.

253

:

Let me get my foot outta

my mouth, everybody.

254

:

It takes me a minute before I'm

named after Peter, the foot, the

255

:

apostle with a foot shaped mouth.

256

:

So there you go.

257

:

Yeah, I just, I don't like when

people sensationalize things and

258

:

fear monger and everything else.

259

:

It's it irks me.

260

:

I vexes me.

261

:

I'm terribly vexed.

262

:

Anyways, let's get into our

Bible reading for the day.

263

:

Psalm 95, Psalm 96, Psalm 97 90, or

no, not 96, Psalm 95 and 97 through 99.

264

:

Psalm 95 is a psalm giving us reason

to praise and warnings of what

265

:

will happen if we don't praise God.

266

:

And so verses seven second half

of verse seven through nine are

267

:

the warnings along with verse 11.

268

:

And these are actually quoted by

the writer of Hebrews and applied

269

:

to those that he was addressing who

were attempted to return to Judaism.

270

:

So you'll read this and sound

and say that sounds familiar.

271

:

It sounds, it's somewhere in

the New Testament where if it.

272

:

Is it's there in Hebrews.

273

:

Hebrews chapter three.

274

:

And so this is from Psalm 95.

275

:

Today.

276

:

If you hear his voice, do not harden

your hearts as at marba on the

277

:

day at Messiah in the wilderness.

278

:

When your father's put me to the test and

put me to the proof, though they had seen

279

:

my work, verse 11, therefore I sworn my

wrath, they shall not enter my wr my rest.

280

:

So the writer of Hebrews takes this

and applies it to the context of the.

281

:

Christians in in the area that

he was writing to who were

282

:

attempted to go back to Judaism.

283

:

He's saying don't do this.

284

:

Don't harden your hearts against the Lord.

285

:

And so Psalm 95 is giving us reasons

to praise God and also warning us

286

:

what happens if we harden our hearts

and refuse to praise God as well.

287

:

Psalm 97.

288

:

Then the phrase that came to mind

as I was reading this is just

289

:

the phrase, the fear of the Lord.

290

:

This is a picture of God that should

instill fear in his enemies and that rev

291

:

reverential respect in us who love him.

292

:

The psalmist even concludes as

much in verse 10 when he says, oh,

293

:

you who love the Lord hate evil.

294

:

And it's just an appropriate response.

295

:

But this is a picture of God

that is a powerful picture.

296

:

It is the fire that goes before him in

verse three that burns up his adversaries,

297

:

his lightnings, that light up the world.

298

:

Just like the other night, we had that

massive storm blow through here and the

299

:

lighting was just nonstop around us.

300

:

And this is a picture of that, but that

coming from the vengeance of God, the.

301

:

Anger of God, the mountains melting.

302

:

And then it says, the heavens

proclaim his righteousness and

303

:

all the people see his glory.

304

:

And for the unbeliever, that's

gonna be a terrifying scene.

305

:

But for the believer, it is a

cause for us to worship him, but to

306

:

worship him in that reverential fear.

307

:

Yeah, I love the way that you see us.

308

:

In verse two, it says, clouds and

thick darkness are all around him.

309

:

And we typically associate that with evil.

310

:

And that's and understandably

because we look at that and we

311

:

say, that sounds terrifying.

312

:

That sounds threatening.

313

:

That's because it is.

314

:

I think about Isaiah chapter six the

foundations of the threshold shook

315

:

and there was smoke all around.

316

:

God is holy and part of his

holiness is the display of his

317

:

holiness in kind of a foreboding and

terrifying differentiation from us.

318

:

But in the second part of verse

two, righteousness and justice

319

:

are the foundation of his throne,

and that's what's terrifying.

320

:

It's a good thing that God is righteous

and just He does all things well.

321

:

There's no evil or sin in him,

and yet that's the problem that

322

:

we have with him, is that he is

righteous and just, and we are not.

323

:

This presents an issue for us, which

is why the judgment of God that

324

:

the clouds and thick darkness are

threatening to us because apart from

325

:

Jesus dying on the cross for our

sin, we are certainly his enemies.

326

:

And so the adversaries that the

Psalm talks about, those are us.

327

:

Unless he provides something to atone.

328

:

Yeah, Psalm 98.

329

:

Then if Psalm 96 or 97 rather instills

fear within us Psalm 98 should

330

:

provoke joy as the reason for worship.

331

:

And so we have in here the call to sing

a new song, but we will see in verse

332

:

four, make a joyful noise, verse four.

333

:

Again, break into joyous.

334

:

Song verse six, and again

a call for a joyful noise.

335

:

In fact, even all of creation is

being called to praise the Lord,

336

:

the seas to roar the rivers to clap

their hands, the hills to sing again.

337

:

Here it is for joy together before the

Lord, before he comes to judge the earth.

338

:

And so even though the Lord is coming in

judgment, verse two, the Lord has made

339

:

known his salvation and revealed his

righteousness in the sight of the nations.

340

:

And so there's reason for us

as Christians, especially to

341

:

read Psalm 98 and to say, okay,

I've got reason to praise God.

342

:

That's gonna be a joyful reason to

praise God because he has brought

343

:

salvation, revealed his righteousness.

344

:

We know in the person of Christ.

345

:

He says he's coming to judge the Earth.

346

:

And again, that's the problem.

347

:

But before we get there, we do

get to say, man, the Lord is worth

348

:

everything that we have to give.

349

:

In fact, we were just talking about this

we were talking about the conversation.

350

:

Where do we put

announcements in our church?

351

:

Yep.

352

:

Because we're trying to figure

out, okay, where do we get the

353

:

most amount of people to hear it?

354

:

We want them to respond

and come to the events.

355

:

But we also don't want it to be a

distraction where it's interrupting

356

:

our worship our worship and song

that is worship is more than music.

357

:

It's not less than that though.

358

:

And so I think this Psalm encourages our

people, encourages Christians, believers

359

:

in Yahweh to be people who are singing.

360

:

Even if that's not natural

to your constitution, it is

361

:

natural or supernatural as a

believer to sing to the Lord.

362

:

This is part of what we're called

to do, which is why we show up to

363

:

church on time so that we can do this.

364

:

We wanna participate in the

body's worship, and that includes,

365

:

I know someone said once.

366

:

I love worship music.

367

:

And not too long thereafter, they were,

I don't wanna say complaining, but they

368

:

were making a comment about the song that

we do that they weren't excited about.

369

:

And I thought, then I wonder if you like

worship music or if you just like music

370

:

maybe you don't actually enjoy worship.

371

:

Maybe you just enjoy having your ears

enjoy a certain kind of melody or a

372

:

certain riff or something like that.

373

:

Now worship will

transcend our preferences.

374

:

And I know even as the worship leader,

you guys might think it's 'cause

375

:

I'm handpicking all the songs that

we do, that I must love them all.

376

:

I don't, I pick songs that I

think are helpful for us songs

377

:

that I don't enjoy doing.

378

:

In fact, some songs, there's 13

different core changes in the first line.

379

:

I'm looking at you Geddes that

are so hard to play, but I'm

380

:

like, this is a good song.

381

:

This is helpful for us to sing.

382

:

And I put it on our agenda,

I put it on our service.

383

:

I'm like, this is a, this is good

for us to sing and to do together.

384

:

So I don't even pick all

the songs that I like.

385

:

I pick songs that are helpful for us.

386

:

All right, so everybody's dying to know.

387

:

What's your least favorite song?

388

:

No, I'm kidding.

389

:

I'm not gonna put you on books.

390

:

I dunno.

391

:

I even have one because every time

we play that people are gonna be,

392

:

he doesn't want, he doesn't like it.

393

:

He hates that song.

394

:

Yeah.

395

:

But I still sing them with gusto.

396

:

I still s them in their heart.

397

:

'cause I'm like this, I think the

lyrics are worth singing and working

398

:

through all the different chord

changes for, and that's life of.

399

:

Of sometimes we do work through things.

400

:

We were just talking about this

series that we're doing this upcoming

401

:

summer on the minor prophets.

402

:

It's gonna be a difficult series.

403

:

Doesn't mean it's not gonna be

good, but it's gonna be difficult

404

:

and there are times, and that's

part of expositional preaching.

405

:

You preach the next text that's up now.

406

:

Difference is I've done this to myself.

407

:

You chose it.

408

:

Yes.

409

:

Yeah.

410

:

I decided to go through the minor of

prophets and I think it's gonna be

411

:

helpful and beneficial for our church.

412

:

That said, it's gonna be hard.

413

:

It's gonna stretch me as a preacher,

it's gonna stretch you when you

414

:

pitch hit and preach in for a couple

weeks while I'm gone outta town.

415

:

It's hard And sometimes it's hard, though.

416

:

It's hard.

417

:

Doesn't mean it's not gonna be

profitable, though it's hard.

418

:

Doesn't mean that we shouldn't

do it, though It's hard.

419

:

Doesn't mean that it's not gonna

be something that we can also,

420

:

at the same time we're going,

this is really hard at this.

421

:

We can also say, and I love

doing it at the same time.

422

:

There's that marriage there that is,

is strange, but it's so good when it's

423

:

present and we can have that mindset.

424

:

I like a good challenge.

425

:

Yeah.

426

:

Alright.

427

:

Psalm 99 Psalm 99.

428

:

Then this is bookends it's back to

this idea of fear inducing worship

429

:

here, at least as I read this.

430

:

He's again picturing the lord.

431

:

The Lord is great.

432

:

He's exalted the king in

his might loves justice.

433

:

You've established equity.

434

:

Again, that to your point,

pastor Rod, that's the problem.

435

:

We don't measure up.

436

:

Verse five though.

437

:

Exalt the Lord, worship at his footstool.

438

:

Holy is he we're not.

439

:

He is, we're gonna bow

before his footstool there.

440

:

He talks about Moses

and Aaron in the psalm.

441

:

But again it's again, a psalm that is

going to be fear inducing as it magnifies

442

:

the power of God and the holiness of God

as the grounds for our worship of him.

443

:

What is a footstool?

444

:

How many of us actually use one?

445

:

I don't use a footstool, do you?

446

:

I don't think I do.

447

:

We talk about ottomans.

448

:

People have ottomans.

449

:

I guess that's a foot still.

450

:

Yeah.

451

:

That, that you'll put your feet up on

as a posture of reclining, of rest.

452

:

And we're gonna worship it as footstool.

453

:

No one wants to sit by somebody's

ottoman if they've got their

454

:

feet stretched out on it.

455

:

Yeah.

456

:

'cause it's like a, I don't

wanna be next to your feet.

457

:

It's a demeaning posture.

458

:

It's a demeaning position, but that's.

459

:

Intentionally, the psalmist

is putting himself there and

460

:

saying, this is where I belong.

461

:

I belong here at your feet and I'm

gonna worship even just at your feet.

462

:

Reminded of I think it's.

463

:

Is it job?

464

:

He talks about the fringes of Yeah.

465

:

Of God.

466

:

The fringes.

467

:

Yeah.

468

:

Yeah.

469

:

The fringes of his robe.

470

:

Yeah.

471

:

Or Isaiah in Isaiah six where he can't

even get above the robe there be before

472

:

the throne and the vision of Christ.

473

:

He said, this is as far as I can get.

474

:

I'm just gonna be able to describe

the edges of your garments.

475

:

Yeah, it's worship at his

ottoman is what I'm atman saying.

476

:

Worship.

477

:

Yes.

478

:

I think it's really, it's a great

image because a king doesn't

479

:

put his feet on the ground.

480

:

He's too high, he's too lofty, and so he

would always have something to rest his

481

:

foot upon, even if he's not reclining

like we typically do with an ottoman.

482

:

It's really interesting because

the footstool imagery, I did some,

483

:

a little bit of work on this.

484

:

It's used all over the place.

485

:

The idea of the foot.

486

:

So in fact, in this particular psalm, if

you look at verse five, he says, exalt the

487

:

Lord our God, worship at his footstool.

488

:

Which by itself is really interesting

because we think about exalting him,

489

:

we're lifting him up, we're trying

to and we're not lifting him up as in

490

:

as though he needs to be propped up.

491

:

We're exalting him as

who he is, what he is.

492

:

And the best that we can offer is

we're gonna worship at his foot.

493

:

Verse nine probably explains the

footstool in view here, which in

494

:

this case is exalt the Lord God

in worship, not at his footstool,

495

:

at his Holy mountain, Jerusalem.

496

:

So in this case, the footstool

is probably a reference to the

497

:

mountain, but it's used all over.

498

:

It's used as the ark,

it's used as the temple.

499

:

It's used about his enemies.

500

:

Yeah, his enemies become his footstool.

501

:

Yeah.

502

:

Sit at my right hand until your

enemies become a footstool.

503

:

Psalm two.

504

:

One 10.

505

:

One 10.

506

:

That's what I was thinking.

507

:

Psalm one 10.

508

:

Did you hear me say it differently?

509

:

I did.

510

:

I caught You must have misheard.

511

:

Yeah, sorry.

512

:

So the footstool the idea here then is

that everything is a footstool to God.

513

:

The concept of everything being God's

footstool means that he's exalted over

514

:

all things everywhere, all the time, at

all places, which is an amazing thought

515

:

because this is what we talk about.

516

:

We want to maintain a high view

of God because he is high, not

517

:

because we're trying to prop him up.

518

:

The footstool analogy.

519

:

So good.

520

:

When you're worshiping God, you're at his

footstool, and that's where we belong.

521

:

That is great and great observation on

verse nine to the comparison to Holy

522

:

Mountain, because if this is I can't

remember if this is Davidic or not.

523

:

No, it doesn't have a title, but if

this is post Davidic, if the temple

524

:

is there even before the temple,

the ark, you mentioned the ark.

525

:

For the Israelite at the time, that was

the pinnacle of the place of God's glory.

526

:

And then the temple is

built the Holy of Holies.

527

:

And the priest can only go in there

once a year and he's gonna wear bells in

528

:

case he dies and they can pull 'em out.

529

:

When they hear him stop,

jingling around in there.

530

:

And yet God's going.

531

:

That's not, that's just my foot stool.

532

:

That's not even, that's nothing

essentially to me, this is just

533

:

propping up the feet of my glory.

534

:

The fullness of my glory is so much more

than what you guys are experiencing here.

535

:

Just a simple taste of it there.

536

:

Yeah.

537

:

Moses couldn't even see the back of his

glory without being radically changed.

538

:

Yeah.

539

:

And that's something we

don't often think about.

540

:

We see the beauty in glory.

541

:

Of God in Christ, but

even that's mitigated.

542

:

We're not seeing the

full ulence of his glory.

543

:

That's a good word.

544

:

It's a great word.

545

:

The manifestation of his lightness,

his brightness on in this life.

546

:

We see glimpses of it.

547

:

We get Costco samples of it, but

certainly not the full extent.

548

:

And that's something that we can look

forward to the, in the next life.

549

:

Totally.

550

:

Hey, let's pray and then we'll

be done with this episode.

551

:

God we look forward to that

time of being with you.

552

:

In the meantime, give us

a greater appreciation for

553

:

the fullness of your glory.

554

:

As much as we can wrap

our minds around it.

555

:

It is, but the edges of the garment,

of your glory and even for eternity

556

:

we, it's not like we're going to

step foot in eternity and say look.

557

:

We fully understand the glory of God.

558

:

We're gonna spend all of eternity

trying to fully understand your glory.

559

:

And so help us to understand

just as, as much as we can, as

560

:

your creatures now here and now.

561

:

And so we thank you so much for

your kindness to us to reveal what

562

:

you have revealed about yourself

to us, and help us to live for

563

:

that glory we pray in Jesus' name.

564

:

Amen.

565

:

Amen.
