Hey everybody.

2

Welcome to Monday's edition

of the Daily Bible podcast.

3

Happy February.

4

Happy February.

5

We're a day late though.

6

And a dollar short.

7

But nonetheless, we're

still gonna offer it to you.

8

We hope your February's

going great so far.

9

This is one of those special

Februarys where I believe it starts.

10

So it's Monday the first, and then I

think it ends on SA Sunday, the 28th.

11

28th.

12

It's almost like a perfect month.

13

It equally divides itself into four weeks.

14

It's beautiful.

15

Yeah.

16

Yeah.

17

Football Sundays,

seventh, 14th, 21st, 28th.

18

Oh.

19

And then March will be the same.

20

Well, isn't the Super Bowl soon?

21

Who's doing that?

22

The Super Bowl.

23

Yeah.

24

Is this coming Sunday?

25

Oh, and it That's cool.

26

Is the Seahawks against the Patriots?

27

Oh, I've heard of both

of those teams before.

28

Yes.

29

Those guys are both pretty good.

30

They come up here pretty regularly.

31

They do.

32

They do.

33

It's been a little while, but yeah.

34

And.

35

The scripting of the NFL

apparently has tipped its hat.

36

They told you that this was gonna happen

earlier in the year, as I understand it.

37

Yes.

38

There was a graphic that was put out.

39

Yeah.

40

And it was all of the star players from

all the teams looking at the stadium.

41

Yeah.

42

Where the Super Bowl's gonna be held.

43

And the two at the very front of that

line were the two starting quarterbacks

44

of these two Super Bowl teams.

45

Wow.

46

And they're the two starting

quarterbacks of these particular teams.

47

So it's not like they were traded.

48

Right.

49

And it's like a surprise.

50

So what are the odds of that happening?

51

If you are an NFL, I don't know.

52

You're on the marketing team

and you're trying to tell

53

people this thing is scripted.

54

That seems like a pretty

good way to do it.

55

I can't deny that I am with you on that.

56

The odds are just almost

impossible, right?

57

They are.

58

Well, I'm sure someone has done the math.

59

What would the math be?

60

How many teams are there?

61

50, 32.

62

Okay.

63

I guess.

64

Okay.

65

That's actually a lesser

number than I thought.

66

So two outta 32.

67

And what are the odds at.

68

Both of those teams somewhat.

69

Pull it up on the GPT,

ask it to do the math.

70

What's the odd, I don't know how

to, I don't know how to ask that.

71

It'll just interpret your

under, it'll interpret you.

72

Well just try to ask it in a way that

makes sense in the common vernacular, and

73

I'm sure it'll give you a good answer.

74

Yeah, I'm not gonna do that.

75

Okay.

76

Well, my only point, you're not doing it.

77

No.

78

My only point is that the

odds are probably low.

79

No I'm with you on that.

80

It's crazy.

81

I think there's a lot of things that

if we knew all of the behind the

82

scenes stuff, we let the air out of

some of the things that we look at.

83

And we're like, oh, I'm in.

84

I love watching baseball.

85

I love watching football

and the excitement.

86

And if we knew that, I wouldn't be

surprised if there were decisions

87

made by referees to try to sway

the out outcomes of things.

88

And, yeah.

89

Well, I don't know how

this is gonna hit you.

90

Okay.

91

I found out, don't hit

me not too long ago.

92

That wrestling is fake.

93

What?

94

Yeah.

95

Did Angelo tell you?

96

No, no, no.

97

My friend did not tell me.

98

Okay.

99

No.

100

I always called Colgan recently died.

101

I heard that too.

102

He did die.

103

And that's when I found out.

104

Yeah.

105

Never been the same.

106

Not only is the Super Bowl

coming up, but we are sending

107

people back out by the moon.

108

Again, did you hear about that?

109

Did not.

110

So Artemis Two's mission to the

moon, so this is SpaceX I believe,

111

and they're not landing on the

moon, but they're going out.

112

I believe they're gonna

orbit and come back.

113

And so this is kind of a big deal

114

that we've sent a manned mission, even

in relative proximity to the moon.

115

And I believe this is going to go

further out as a manned flight than

116

we've ever had any manned flight before.

117

So.

118

This is a a That's pretty cool.

119

A big arc around the moon.

120

Didn't Apollo 13 though?

121

Didn't they do the

slingshot around the moon?

122

They orbited?

123

Yeah, but I think they're,

this one's going out further.

124

Oh, okay.

125

And so, but how many mile, like

a mile or two or, yeah, I know.

126

13 inches.

127

Yes.

128

We got 13.

129

We're the best guys.

130

Well, in Apollo 13 was, they had to do

that because the failure of all their

131

systems and stuff, they had to use the

moon's gravity to slingshot them back.

132

This is, we're doing this on purpose.

133

Okay.

134

So, alright.

135

That's, that's great.

136

And I think it's in preparation

because we want to try to

137

put people back on the moon.

138

Well, I thought Mars was

the goal to colonize Mars.

139

Isn't that Elon?

140

That's part of it.

141

Yeah.

142

And Pastor Mark said once there, I think

he said once there's like 50 people

143

up there, then he's willing to go.

144

Wow.

145

So that's his standard.

146

He's pioneering.

147

He wants Compass, Bible Church.

148

Church, Mars.

149

All right.

150

All right.

151

So anyways, that's kind of fascinating

to think about people going to outer

152

space and being by the moon again.

153

That would be pretty cool.

154

Some of you're listening going,

you mean for the first time?

155

Because they don't believe that

we actually did land on the moon.

156

Ooh.

157

That's another conspiracy

theory for another day.

158

It is.

159

Yeah.

160

That it is.

161

Bernard: One of the fine editors of this

podcast is too much of a nerd not to

162

insert some corrections and trivia here.

163

Artemis 2 is a NASA mission designed

to loop around the Moon without

164

landing, similar to Apollo 8.

165

It plans to travel approximately one to

two thousand miles farther from Earth than

166

any previous crewed mission, which would

surpass the current record held by Apollo

167

13 during its emergency return trajectory.

168

Nice to see y'all again.

169

But back to the Daily Bible Podcast...

170

Well, hey, we did get a question

that we should probably address Sure.

171

From one of our listeners who wanted

to address one of the laws given in

172

the Old Testament that talked about

what happens when a man we'll put it.

173

As PG is, we can't takes advantage

of a virgin who's not his wife.

174

Well, the word is seduces.

175

That's an important word.

176

Seduces.

177

Okay.

178

Yeah.

179

Seduces a virgin who's not his wife.

180

Exodus 22 verses 16 and 17.

181

Thank you.

182

Yeah.

183

I was looking for the context and

so the question is, scripture then

184

gives permission for this man to

marry this woman, or if the father of

185

this woman denies that, then there's

other prohibitions given there.

186

And so the question is how is this right?

187

How is this fair?

188

This should be punished.

189

Was the questioners.

190

Stance on this?

191

To add to that, let me just clarify.

192

Yeah.

193

It seems wrong.

194

And yet it's a law.

195

So it's a law.

196

It's on the books.

197

It's not just God saying, Hey I

need to warn you about this.

198

God is providing.

199

A governing law to say this

is what's gonna happen.

200

And he also says it could cause

someone to our word, a young maiden.

201

A virgin, yes.

202

Yes.

203

To get her to be his wife.

204

So it's like, oh, you're

rewarded by having, yeah.

205

You got what you wanted.

206

Now you're gonna get it forever.

207

It seems like it endorses something evil.

208

Yeah.

209

And you brought up the word

seduces is important there.

210

Because this seems to imply that

this is more of a consensual

211

act than it is a forceful act.

212

And as a result, this would be two

people who it would appear want to be

213

together who would then be encouraged

to go ahead and get married, do

214

the thing that is right, then buy

them unless verse 17 of her father.

215

Utterly refuses to give her to him.

216

He shall pay money equal to the

bride price for the daughter.

217

So that's making things right, as

far as her honor is concerned in the

218

eyes of her fa family and her father.

219

But I think one of the reasons why he.

220

It is encouraged, they are

encouraged to get married is for

221

the good of that relationship and

the honor that's involved there.

222

This is the young woman, yeah.

223

Honor, shame culture.

224

So she would've been ashamed

had they not gotten married.

225

And so this is the right thing to do.

226

This is not condoning the

act of premarital before

227

the act of getting married.

228

But this is saying, this is what's

right to do afterwards and this

229

is what you should do unless the

man, the woman's father says,

230

no, I'm not gonna allow for this.

231

And then there's a provision

given for that as well.

232

Yeah, you might remember in

two Samuel 13 where Amon lays

233

with his half-sister Tamar.

234

He's in love with.

235

Her love lust is probably more

a better way to talk about that.

236

And eventually he he does what he intends

to do with her, and so she's wrecked,

237

but then he's like, Hey, get outta here.

238

And she's like, no.

239

That would be sitting against

me worse than the first thing.

240

Mm-hmm.

241

Don't compound this.

242

Mm-hmm.

243

In other words I'm yours now.

244

To stay with you is better than to be

rejected because now I can't remarry.

245

No one's gonna ever, it's

gonna be found out everybody.

246

Well, no, I can't remarry.

247

I'm gonna be stuck at home

for the rest of my life.

248

Single and unable to

leave my parents home.

249

We talked yesterday in the

podcast about polygamy.

250

Mm-hmm.

251

And how polygamy and my estimation

was something that God said,

252

this is a necessary evil for

sufficient good that God determines.

253

And in that case, it'd be protecting

women the most vulnerable.

254

We don't want her to become a prostitute.

255

We don't want her to become a slave.

256

The best thing.

257

In all the evil options is this.

258

And so here this is a text that again,

adds parameters for her protection and

259

not for the protection of the fellow.

260

This is not to reward him,

this is to protect her.

261

Yep.

262

And the emphasis is important.

263

You can't read that because all you see is

the black and white text, but you have to

264

think, okay, what's the heart of God here?

265

God is for protecting his people

upholding justice, and this is

266

one of the ways that he does this.

267

This is not endorse the R word.

268

This is the opposite of that.

269

In fact, later on, Moses is

gonna talk about the R word.

270

This I agree with you,

is a consensual act.

271

At least it's suggested.

272

So because it's seduction.

273

Mm-hmm.

274

Now one is ex still exercising a

certain level of power over the other,

275

but there's still a sense of, okay,

I willingly concede to this thing.

276

Yeah.

277

Yep.

278

Good question.

279

Good reading and being atten

attentive to some of these things.

280

Feel free to write in your

questions to podcast@compassntx.org.

281

Well, let's keep going.

282

In our daily Bible reading, we are in

Exodus 29 through 30 today, so we have

283

seen yesterday the priestly garments,

which Pastor Rod is working on my turban,

284

I believe, in his free time at home.

285

Yeah.

286

I'm getting a great design.

287

Awesome.

288

I'm gonna put all of our faces on it.

289

Cool.

290

Hidden.

291

That's great.

292

Pretty great.

293

That's awesome.

294

Yeah.

295

I've already started thinking about

your ornament for this coming year.

296

Okay.

297

For Christmas.

298

It's gonna be great.

299

Listen, but the people are clamoring for

a Pastor Rod version of the ornament.

300

The staff may come and go.

301

The everyone here is

replaceable except for you.

302

That's not true.

303

So I think it makes a lot more

sense to do ornaments of Pastor PJ's

304

head larger and larger each year.

305

I think if you guys want to see Pastor

Rod on the ornament this year, you should

306

write in to podcast@compassantix.org.

307

I will automatically

send those to the trash.

308

I get to make the decisions here so.

309

If you really wanna plead for it

I'll let you do that in person.

310

I wanna see tears.

311

Yeah, I wanna see, I wanna see clothing.

312

They want it's like action figures.

313

They want like, the set of collectibles.

314

Oh, I see.

315

That's not the way, like I

grew up with Ninja Turtles.

316

If all I got was Leonardo

over and over and over again.

317

Even though he was my

favorite I wouldn't be happy.

318

I would be like, man,

I need the other guys.

319

Yeah.

320

But see, there was always

four Ninja Turtles though.

321

Yeah.

322

Here, you never know.

323

There could be seven Ninja Turtles by

the end of this year, but people could be

324

like, we've been here since the days of

Pastor p and Pastor Rob and Pastor Mark.

325

I don't know.

326

Let us carry on to the text.

327

Alright, let's go.

328

29 Consecration of the

Priest consecration is.

329

The concept of setting apart

again, it's to be made holy.

330

It's from a word that means to cut,

and so they are being removed, cut

331

apart, separated from the masses.

332

And this is of the priest because

they have a unique role that they

333

need to be set apart to do in.

334

Service of the Lord.

335

So part of that's gonna

involve these offerings.

336

And the key offering here is

gonna be the sin offering.

337

Talking about the bowl that's gonna

be brought before the 10th of meeting.

338

There's gonna be Aaron and his

sons laying their hands on the

339

bowl, on the head of the bowl then

Moses is going to kill the bull.

340

Now, later on, the priest are gonna do

this, but this is for the priest, so he's

341

gonna be the one that's gonna do this.

342

And there's gonna be a

lot to do with the blood.

343

Now, one of the things that's gonna

happen with the blood is something

344

that always used to trip me up until

I heard somebody explain it to me.

345

But verse 19 and 20, you

should take the other rams.

346

So there's bowls that are offered,

there's rams that are also offered

347

as well, and one of the rams, they're

gonna kill, they're gonna take the

348

blood of the ram, they're gonna

put it on the tip of the right.

349

Ear of Aaron and on the tips of the

ears of his sons and on the thumbs

350

of the right hands and on the great

toes, the big toe of the right feet.

351

And I used to think, what is this?

352

And then it was explained to me, this is

them being consecrated in what they hear,

353

in what they do and in where they go.

354

So this is, hey.

355

Everything that you are needs

to be set apart for the Lord.

356

The things that you take in

your ear, what you hear, you

357

are to be holy in those things.

358

The things that you do, your right

hand, the things that, that are gonna

359

be done with your hands, you need to be

holy in what you do and where you go.

360

The toe of your right foot

is gonna be consecrated as

361

well set apart for the Lord.

362

Where you go is to be holy to the Lord.

363

So this is a way of sending them

all apart, their whole body to

364

say, you now belong to the Lord.

365

And you might think too, that this is.

366

Really cool symbolism for these

Old Testament guys who are priests.

367

I think that this is an easy copy and

not a full copy and paste, but a copy

368

and paste is New Testament Christians.

369

We are called kings and priests,

Queens and priestesses, I suppose.

370

But we are now set apart by the spirit.

371

We have a greater and better covenant

than what these guys enjoyed.

372

As privileged as their position is, you

and I get to go to the holies of Holies.

373

Anytime we want that, we have full.

374

Unmitigated access because

of our relationship to God

375

through Christ, by his spirit.

376

And so if it applied to them

under the ministry of Moses.

377

How much more does your

consecration apply to you?

378

Under the ministry of Christ,

we have a better house, a

379

better Moses, a better covenant.

380

We ought to do the same and take

great caution and care about how we

381

live in consecration to the Lord.

382

There's other offerings that are gonna

be involved here, including a food

383

offering in verse 25 and verse 26.

384

Part of this is gonna be a wave

offering that's going to be offered.

385

There's prescriptions for what they're

to do during this ordination process

386

where Aaron and his sons are instructed

on what they should eat and what they

387

should, how they should go about this.

388

And then there's the time period

and it says this, that you, thus

389

you shall do to Aaron and his sons.

390

Verse 35, according to all that,

have commanded you through seven

391

days, shall you ordain them.

392

Every day you shall offer

a bowl as a sin offering.

393

They're also offering two lambs a day.

394

So this is quite the ordeal.

395

This is quite the bloody encounter

here that they're gonna have

396

with this sanctification process.

397

And yet ultimately it's gonna be God

that is going to sanctify the people.

398

And so even though he's laying out

all of these things, if you look over

399

at verse 42, it says it shall be a

regular burnt offering throughout your

400

generations at the entrance of the

tenant meeting before the Lord where.

401

I will meet with you to

speak with you there.

402

There I will meet with the

people of Israel and it shall

403

be sanctified by my glory.

404

I will consecrate the

10 meeting in the altar.

405

And so all of this is symbolic,

representing the fact that this

406

is God setting Israel apart,

setting Aaron in his sons apart.

407

This is them doing this and God is the

one acting here and verse 45 is critical.

408

Here I will dwell among the people

of Israel and will be their God.

409

The whole purpose of all

of these things was that.

410

So a sinful people could be in

communion with their holy God.

411

All of this rigor.

412

A roll.

413

All this pomp and circumstance, all of

these blood, these awful, violent, bloody

414

affairs are meant to unite the people

with God and the whole stumbling block

415

between them and God was their sin.

416

And so all of these things are

meant to be pictures to the people

417

to say, this is how we relate to

each other, because of your sin.

418

Now it needs to be bloodshed

so that I can dwell with you.

419

This is the goal of all of

these sacrifices, and that is

420

the goal of Christ's sacrifice.

421

He was crucified, he was slain so that we

could dwell with God and he dwell with us.

422

Revelation 21 is gonna show us

how this all comes together.

423

It culminates.

424

Where God himself dwells with us

and we are his people, and God

425

Himself will be with us as our God.

426

That's the goal of this

whole thing, the whole Bible.

427

Genesis two revelation is about

God dwelling with us once again as

428

he did in the garden through the

ministry of Jesus Christ, and he

429

does this to the glory of his name.

430

This is an awesome book, as challenging

as Exodus is, and Leviticus will also be

431

challenging for some of the same reasons.

432

You have to remember the goal here, the

end goal is God dwelling with his people.

433

So chapter 30, then we get

into more of the process here,

434

including the altar of incense.

435

We've got the census tax that he's gonna

talk about there of charging people and

436

how that's gonna be used for the care

of things and the upkeep of things.

437

Different components.

438

The sleep significance of washing,

which was a big deal if you didn't wash.

439

It's not just that you didn't eat you,

you don't wash you, you're gonna die.

440

So maybe.

441

Parents, you want to say to your kids if

you're saying, Hey, go wash your hands,

442

you could say, you could have it worse.

443

You could be, Hey, wash your hands.

444

Or there's worse consequences.

445

Chapter 30 here, he's gonna

talk about this multiple times.

446

The aroma.

447

Do you think the aroma is more for the

benefit of God or do you think the aroma

448

of these things is for the benefit of men?

449

Benefit as in, well, you can't

benefit God in any sense.

450

Right.

451

Is God smelling?

452

Because we talk about the fact that God

doesn't have, he doesn't have olfactory

453

glands and like that olfactory glands.

454

Yeah.

455

He's not a human.

456

But I would argue that God can sense

even if he doesn't have the sense of

457

smell like we have, I, I would, it would

be impossible for me to say that God

458

doesn't have the ability to smell even

if he doesn't have the nose to smell.

459

Does that make sense?

460

Mm-hmm.

461

So if perception.

462

For us is five senses.

463

I would have to say God has five

ways, 5 billion ways to sense.

464

Mm-hmm.

465

Without having our specific channels.

466

Mm-hmm.

467

Or tools for those things.

468

So does God have eyes?

469

No.

470

But he sees everything.

471

Does God have ears?

472

Nobody hears everything.

473

Does God have a nose?

474

Nobody smells everything.

475

So I'd have to say yes, I think

God has benefited, blessed, I guess

476

is a better word, maybe blessed.

477

I would say that one that

feels better than benefited.

478

'cause I can't add anything

to God, but I can't bless him.

479

I can't do good to him by

saying, here's the smell.

480

And I think God is pleased by that.

481

Yeah.

482

Again we've got these other elements here

of these components that are gonna go into

483

what's gonna happen in the construction,

which is where we're gonna turn tomorrow

484

with Oab and Beel and the beginning

of the work on this, which is great.

485

I love the story of these two guys, and

we'll talk more about that tomorrow.

486

But let's jump over to

our New Testament reading.

487

Matthew chapter 22 verses one through 22.

488

So Matthew 22, 1 through 22, we get

Jesus continuing to talk about parables

489

and he's really turning the heat up.

490

I mentioned yesterday he told

this parable about the tenants and

491

the parable about the two sons.

492

He's gonna continue with the

parable of the wedding feast.

493

And this is the king going out

and inviting people to come

494

to the wedding of his son.

495

And initially those that are invited

are going to turn down the invitation,

496

sorry, we're too busy, we can't be there.

497

We've got other things going on.

498

And so then after this, the king is

gonna say, okay then go out, go to

499

the highways, go to the byways, invite

everyone that you possibly can to

500

come and be a part of the wedding.

501

And so the servants are going to go do

that and instead those that were first

502

invited are going to be turned away.

503

They're going to be rejected.

504

So this is such an interesting parable,

including when the king shows up, there's

505

a man there who has no wedding garment.

506

And my best read on this is even though

the invitation was gonna go out far

507

and wide and go beyond Israel, there

was still going to be requirements.

508

There was still a standard and there

was still gonna be a necessary entrance.

509

Qualifications, so to

speak, into the wedding.

510

And this for us as the church we

understand is faith and repentance.

511

And so even though the car's, the call's

gonna be issued far and wide, it's gonna

512

be much broader than just to Israel.

513

There still is a qualification

to attend this wedding feast.

514

To be part of the kingdom of God, you

have to be dressed in the right garments.

515

And I think that's what's going on with

this man who doesn't have the garment.

516

The wedding garment there at the end.

517

Amen to that.

518

It seems like in verse 13 here

that because he's not dressed

519

appropriately, because he is not

qualified to be there, the result is

520

not just, Hey buddy, you gotta leave.

521

It is tossing him out into a place

where there's weeping and gnashing

522

of teeth, and this is typical

language for the reality of hell,

523

which has been in the news lately.

524

We, maybe we should talk

about that one again soon.

525

Kurt Cameron had brought friends

on the thing and other people

526

have responded to this anyway.

527

This is language for hell, and so this.

528

Wedding garments is more than

just, are you fashionably dressed?

529

This is, are you qualified to be here?

530

So I hope I'm not stretching it too much.

531

I think knowing what we know about the

New Testament, we're gonna say that

532

it's not just that you have to be in

the church, you have to be dressed

533

in Christ's righteousness, right?

534

You can't just show up to a Sundays and

say, Hey, I'm here, Lord I'm part of this.

535

And he's gonna say, well,

how did you get, like, why?

536

Why are you here?

537

This isn't fitting for you because

you're not dressed right and it has

538

nothing to do with what you wear.

539

It has everything to do

with where you trust.

540

Your salvation to lie.

541

And if you're dressed in the righteousness

of Christ, you are now qualified by

542

his grace to stand before him fully and

freely blameless of any sin and shame.

543

And that's what makes us right with God.

544

It is Jesus righteousness.

545

And so in verse 14, many

are called fewer chosen.

546

The gospel call goes to all people at

all places but only those who embrace

547

the righteousness of Christ by clo,

by being clothed with him are truly

548

those who are going to see heaven.

549

From this the Pharisees, they go out

and they continue their attack on Christ

550

and their plot to try to trap him.

551

And so they ask him this question

about paying taxes, will you encourage

552

us to, to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

553

And they're partnering with the

Herodians, which is an uncommon bond here.

554

And yet they can both unite, I

guess over their disdain for Jesus.

555

In what he's doing.

556

And so is it lawful to pay

taxes to Caesar or not?

557

And Jesus aware of what's going on

here says, oh, why put me to the test?

558

You hypocrites, show me the coin.

559

And this where he says,

whose likeness is on it?

560

And they say, it's Caesar's.

561

And then he says, therefore, render

to Caesar the things that are Caesar's

562

and to God, the things that are God.

563

So it's almost as though

Jesus is like, yeah, fine.

564

Give Caesar his coins, give

him that, but give God what he

565

really owes, which is everything.

566

And again, that's what the Pharisees

were failing to do in rejecting

567

what God was doing through Christ.

568

Yeah, and even this, I would say

he's not, he's answering their

569

question, but not directly.

570

Yeah.

571

But again, we have him interacting

with his opponents, not with a clear

572

A plus B equal C kind of formula.

573

Here.

574

Jesus interacts wisely shrewdly.

575

He's engaging with them

and yet he's not doing so.

576

With a kind of like, Jesus, just tell

me plainly, one way or the other.

577

Yeah.

578

Now he engages with us according to

the way that we show up to him, and

579

I think that's an important principle

for how we engage with the Lord.

580

Yeah.

581

If we play games with him I would

expect him to be less forthcoming

582

than if we say, Lord, help me.

583

I'm struggling.

584

Here's my issue.

585

Here's what I'm struggling with.

586

I think the Lord loves to welcome

those who are weak in their faith,

587

but not those who are what's the

opposite of genuine faith or.

588

The bad faith, insincere

bad faith efforts.

589

Yeah.

590

So good faith versus bad faith.

591

Yeah.

592

If someone comes to him in good

faith, he responds accordingly.

593

Yeah.

594

If someone comes to him in bad

faith, you see the same thing.

595

Yep.

596

Alright.

597

Hey, let's pray and then we'll

be done with this episode.

598

God, we thank you for the

truthfulness of your word.

599

We thank you for what we can understand

about who you are through the Old

600

Testament and these things that you've

set up, these para these parameters, the

601

consecration making us, holy Lord we're

grateful that as the church we're holy

602

with the righteousness of Christ, even

as we talked about with this wedding.

603

Garment that we need to make sure

that we're dressed in, that we're

604

dressed Lord, not in priestly garb.

605

That is our manmade but we're dressed

with the righteousness of Christ.

606

That that's our entrance point that

comes through faith and repentance

607

in him and what he's done for us.

608

So we pray, Lord, that we would honor

you and the rest of the way that we

609

live today, and that we would turn

our attention back to the Word again

610

tomorrow as you give us a new day.

611

If you do.

612

And that we would thrive as

we continue to grow in our

613

understanding and knowledge of you.

614

We pray this in Jesus name.

615

Amen.

616

Amen.

617

Hey guys, don't forget tomorrow is a new

day and you've got another part of the

618

Bible to keep reading with us tomorrow.

619

So don't give up.

620

You're doing a great job.

621

I know we're getting into the weeds

a little bit with the Old Testament.

622

Mm-hmm.

623

But it's gonna pay off.

624

So keep going with us.

625

We'll catch you guys tomorrow.

626

See that.
