21:25 Concluding Thoughts and Prayer

Hey, welcome to Thursday's edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

2

What's happening to people.

3

Uh, a lot is happening, dude.

4

I am.

5

I, I am going to addition or I wouldn't.

6

I can't wait to see where this is going.

7

I have no idea.

8

Are super excited about this though.

9

I am going to addition for a

next, the next breakdancer that

10

the us sends to the Olympics.

11

Well, After the Australian,

you've got a great.

12

You need to move to

Australia though, because.

13

Okay.

14

So she's thinking so much shade.

15

What do you think about that?

16

As she's putting out videos like,

Hey guys, You know, it's kinda mean

17

please, you know, I felt bad for her.

18

Cause I listened to some of

her responses to the criticism.

19

And other people came to her defense

saying, look, she's living her best life.

20

Now you're just mad.

21

You know, you don't, don't

listen to the haters.

22

People are going to hate no matter

who you are, no matter what you do.

23

And others are saying,

no, she really stunk.

24

And she should own the fact

that she's stunk it up.

25

And now has made it so that LA

is certainly not doing break

26

dancing for the next Olympics.

27

So where do you stand on that?

28

Tell us how to think about that.

29

Well, as far as LA not doing

bread dancing, I'm okay with it

30

because I'm just not a dancer.

31

So I don't like, I wouldn't want.

32

I didn't watch it.

33

I wouldn't watch it.

34

That aside, not about the dancing, right.

35

That was about that.

36

The idea.

37

Christian to jump on the bandwagon

and make fun of someone who's

38

making fun of themselves.

39

No, no.

40

I mean, honestly, I just, I saw it.

41

I haven't found.

42

Followed any of the, I've seen

the beams, which are funny.

43

They're super funny.

44

I haven't.

45

I've heard any of her response to it.

46

If she's like worn it and

been like, yeah, I was bad.

47

I don't know what I was

thinking or no, she she's.

48

She's kind of owned it.

49

Like man, you guys are wrong.

50

I'm a pro I've been doing

this for a long time.

51

So that's where I'm like,

let the meetings go then.

52

If, if, if she's going to stand

up and be like, no, like I'm deaf.

53

It's like if you're at that level and at

the top of your game, Or someone's game.

54

And you put yourself out there

in the public sphere as exactly.

55

You get criticism?

56

Totally.

57

Especially if you do that.

58

Um, Yeah.

59

Yeah.

60

I mean, the, I think the

means are justified now.

61

She is made in the image of God.

62

And so there's that element too.

63

So we need to not personalize

it, but like girl, can't dance.

64

Like let's, let's all just own that.

65

That was so bad, man.

66

It was so bad.

67

It was bad.

68

It was.

69

And I think that's where Christians

should be people the truth.

70

We're not going to say that she was

great and wonderful when she wasn't.

71

Right.

72

But we also shouldn't be the kind

of people that dog pile on them and

73

try to uproot their whole lives.

74

And destroy their careers.

75

We've got to be people who are measured in

our responses when it comes to criticism.

76

And perhaps one of the best ways for

us to think about this is through

77

a book that's recently come out.

78

You might've heard of it.

79

It's called Shepherd's for sale by Megan.

80

Basham.

81

It's caused quite a stir.

82

What have you heard about that book?

83

Well, nobody's coming to offered

me any money, so I haven't been

84

bought, um, I just know that not yet.

85

Yeah.

86

Uh, yeah, no, I've, I'm listening

to the book currently on audible.

87

Um, it's made a lot of waves.

88

It's been on ex people have

been posting about it and, uh,

89

what's the gist of the book.

90

Some people probably don't even

know what we're talking just to

91

the book is this, this, uh, this

author, Megan Basham, who has been.

92

Around a lot of different kind

of high profile, uh, Evangelical

93

situations recently back in COVID

and even, I think connected loosely

94

with Trump in some regards as well.

95

Um, Just a lot of things going

on with, uh, with regards

96

to, to this particular lady.

97

And she wrote this book called

Shepherd's for sale, which has

98

been highly regarded by the master

seminary, John MacArthur, Ben Shapiro.

99

I mean just the who's who of

conservative Christianity?

100

Endorsing this book saying,

this is, this is a great book.

101

We need this.

102

So it's gotten a lot of positive

press and in the book, basically

103

what she does is she says that the

there's problems in evangelical

104

Christianity in none of us would argue

that we would all say yes and amen.

105

There are many problems in

evangelical Christianity.

106

She cites some ways that some of the,

the, uh, more progressive, more liberal

107

ideologies crept into the evangelical

world, things like climate change.

108

Uh, abortion, uh, the whole LGBTQ

plus agenda and how that has begun

109

to make its way into the church.

110

And even as the title of the book

would imply that there are, uh, some

111

left-wing groups and organizations

that are supporting other.

112

Uh, umbrella organizations

that have Christian.

113

And names right.

114

That are infiltrating the churches

and influencing these pastors to.

115

In introduce these.

116

These dangerous non-biblical concepts

and doctrines into their churches

117

and into, to mainstream Christianity

and the conservative churches in

118

particular Southern Baptist convention.

119

Right?

120

As one of the primary targets,

because they're the second largest

121

denomination in the states, because

it all comes down to voting and.

122

The left is after the voters.

123

And so they're trying to purchase it

by the shepherds, by the pastors, so

124

that they'll convince their people to

vote for the left cause porous borders.

125

Uh, pro-abortion.

126

Yeah.

127

Uh, climate change or

legislation, things like that.

128

Right.

129

Right.

130

And so there's, there's some people that,

that she calls out in the book that we

131

would say, yeah, this is a dangerous like

Russell Moore, for example, Russell Moore

132

was a guy that for awhile, when I was

back in college, I was kind of watching

133

and, and appreciated a lot of what.

134

He contributed.

135

Yeah.

136

He wrote a book called adopted for life

all about the significance of adoption.

137

Uh, great book, but since then,

that's when he took over the ERL

138

C, which is, let me get this right.

139

The ethics and religious

liberties commission.

140

Great.

141

Um, He began to, to really kind of trend

left on a lot of his ideology in politics

142

and in such that he's compromised.

143

Pretty significantly now such

that, uh, there's concerns about

144

where he stands even in, in his

standing with Christ to begin with.

145

So you've got her.

146

Uh, going after some people like

that, but then you've also got

147

our identifying some other people.

148

Perhaps it's as you and I

were just talking about.

149

Uh, painting with a pretty broad brush

and taking some things that they've said,

150

uh, which I think there's grounds for

us to say, Hey, you know what, probably

151

not the wisest use of your, your, your

platform to say the things that you've

152

said in these contexts a hundred percent,

but then to take that and say, this is

153

who they are, and they've been bought

and they've been bought by the left.

154

And now they're.

155

They're a puppet in the

hands of the leftist agenda.

156

I think that in some of these

instances may go too far.

157

And so the book is helpful.

158

It's good for you to, I

would commend you reading it.

159

I would say, yeah, pick it up

and read it, but just understand.

160

Uh, that there's, there's some broad

brush painting that goes on in the

161

book and some of these instances.

162

Yeah.

163

And if you're curious at all about some

of the responses to this, I'm sure if you

164

have any time, you want to go on X and

check tick, check that, check that out.

165

Take a look at it.

166

Uh, she's been pretty conversant.

167

What's some of the pushback.

168

Yeah.

169

She'll defend it.

170

She'll say yeah.

171

And she has some responses that are

both helpful and perhaps a less helpful.

172

I appreciated the book.

173

I read it as well because I saw the, all

the scuttlebutt going around it and I

174

thought I better make sure I know what's

happening just so I can stay on top of it.

175

And I found it helpful.

176

By and large.

177

I agree with what she says now.

178

There's a couple people on there that

I don't think should be in there.

179

I don't think it's fair.

180

Um, and I think they're probably

closer to our camp as opposed to

181

puppets that are controlled for the

leftist agenda, according to her title.

182

So.

183

Um, I think it's a, it's a provocative

book and it's helpful in a lot of ways

184

it's worth reading, but it's also worth

reading with clear eyes and a Christian

185

perspective at Christian worldview.

186

We might say, which, by the way,

Megan, Basham also contributes

187

to the daily wire, which is a

conservative news at news outlet.

188

So I've heard her before on a what's

the, their morning news thing.

189

I forget the name of it, but I've

heard it before, before this book.

190

And I've appreciated the

things that she says.

191

Um, I liked the book, I would

say, read it with caution.

192

You said scuttlebutt.

193

Which caught my attention.

194

Because that's the way my brain works.

195

And I thought to myself,

that's a funny word.

196

It is a funny word.

197

Do you know where it comes from?

198

Let's see scuttle.

199

And, but let me think here, I know

where the second part comes from this.

200

The hard hitting content.

201

No, it's actually a nautical term.

202

Okay.

203

Okay.

204

I would never have guessed that.

205

Nautical term.

206

Inspired for, uh, gossip rumors,

interpersonal news, among coworkers.

207

It dates back to the early 18 hundreds

and it's quite literally the, the

208

sailors equivalent of water cooler talk.

209

Oh, cause the scuttlebutt is a cask

of fresh drinking water aboard ship.

210

Oh, that's cool.

211

So the people would gather around

the scuttlebutt and share the

212

news, spill the tea, so to speak.

213

Which is another term.

214

That means the same thing.

215

Gen Z or gen alpha.

216

That's interesting.

217

You should put that in one of

your points up coming soon.

218

Scuttlebutt has got up at point number

two, disengage from the scuttlebutt.

219

That would be, that would be clutch, man.

220

They would remember that point.

221

They would.

222

Scatter from the scuttlebutt scat.

223

And that's the, yeah, you start doing it.

224

Literation in there, dude.

225

You've got a bestseller coming upstairs.

226

Uh, one that may get better

reviews than, than bastions posted.

227

But then actually hers

is doing really well.

228

Yeah.

229

Because the, the, the

criticism has only reinforced.

230

Those who appreciate it.

231

And they're coming out very vocally

it's it's eye-opening it does get

232

into this whole idea of, is there

this, you know, left is cabal that is

233

bankrolling, you know, some supposedly

evangelical organizations and how.

234

And I think there's truthfulness to that.

235

To an extent.

236

And it's just how far reaching is it?

237

Whose pulpits have they infiltrated?

238

That's that's where the

question, that's the question.

239

And, and there's, there's fair.

240

There's their spare questions there.

241

And then there's unfair questions

and accusations there as well.

242

Which I think is an important thing,

because it gets into that level

243

of conspiracy territory, like,

oh, is this a conspiracy theory?

244

Right?

245

Um, and we're finding out now in 2024,

that some of those conspiracy theories and

246

I'm using air quotes here back in 2020,

when everything was shut down, right.

247

Turned out to be true, right?

248

They're no longer conspiracy theories.

249

Although the press that they get

for the conspiracy theory is not

250

the same as the press for hate,

by the way, that was true, right.

251

Different press.

252

And it's a, that's unfortunate.

253

And that also draws into question,

but what can you trust anymore?

254

That's a really hard question

to answer these days.

255

It is.

256

It is.

257

But what isn't hard to answer

is whether or not the word

258

of God is reliable and true.

259

Speaking of what we can trust.

260

And it is, yeah.

261

Do you take the transition?

262

all right.

263

Well, Jeremiah 46 through 48.

264

So the bigger picture at 46 through 51,

uh, which we're not dealing with all of

265

that today, just 40, 60, 58, but 40, 60,

51 deals with judgment on the nations.

266

God's wrath coming upon the nations.

267

And we open up with Egypt.

268

Why?

269

Because, uh, I think we had just

been talking about Egypt and

270

in Israel's temptation to fleet

at Egypt and go back to Egypt.

271

So this is not necessarily

chronological now.

272

Um, we're dealing with a defeat,

at least initially here in Jeremiah

273

chapter 46, that goes back to the

battle of car commission, which

274

had already taken place before.

275

Uh, or what we had just

read about in Jeremiah 45.

276

So we're not chronological here

as much and the magic right.

277

Thematic.

278

And that's important about

the book of Jeremiah.

279

You've probably been doing some

whip last year, going, okay.

280

We're in this king, we're in that king,

this king, that king, this king back king.

281

So pastor God help us.

282

I understand that a rubric for

N for interpreting Jeremiah,

283

you mentioned the MADEC.

284

Why is it that he doesn't just

go chronological through this?

285

Every book of the Bible has an agenda

and it's not a dark secret agenda.

286

It's not trying to put

the wool over your eyes.

287

Jeremiah.

288

And in fact, a lot of biblical

thinkers tend not to think.

289

And, and, and the ways that Western minds

tend to think, we think in chronological

290

terms, when we tell a story, we start from

the beginning, the middle and the end.

291

Although there are some violations

of this general tendency.

292

And Jeremiah is seeking to develop

a theological case by and large,

293

which is why he's not concerned with

the strict chronological timeline.

294

So in chapter 46, connected to chapters

44 and 45, he's trying to connect this

295

whole concept of what Egypt's role is.

296

And this whole section, he's going

to talk about how God's judging the

297

nations, which, which requires him

to go backward in time to talk about

298

how God began to judge Egypt and what

God's going to do for these other

299

nations that he's going to lay out.

300

So whenever you see this happening,

one of the best things to do

301

is write in your Bible and make

notes next to my chapter 46.

302

I have a, I have a little header

that tells me this chunk of

303

text 46 to 51 are all related.

304

Give it a title.

305

And I put 6 0 5 BC next to the next

to the area, just so I can know.

306

Okay.

307

This is back in time, 6 0

5, which is before 5 86.

308

That helps me remember where we're

at and what Jeremiah is trying to do.

309

I have notes in my Bible that tell me

the medically, he's trying to do this.

310

And they're in rod speak.

311

They're there.

312

They're not going to make sense probably

to most people, but there are enough

313

there for me to understand that, which

is why you should read your Bible

314

and make notes in it so that, you

know, the next time you go over it.

315

Oh yeah, I remember this is the magically

tied and not chronologically tied.

316

Yep.

317

So Jeremiah 46, 1 through 12 a is at least

an in part about the battle of cartoonish.

318

Mish 6 0 5, which was the first

decisive blow dealt to the Egyptians.

319

Um, the 46, 10.

320

Uh, he references this.

321

Uh, vengeance that the Lord was taking it.

322

It's there's questions about that.

323

What does it mean that the day of the

Lord, the God of hosts, the day of

324

vengeance, why vengeance against Egypt?

325

A lot of people think that this is because

of the death of Josiah, that Egypt had

326

been instrumental in the death of Josiah.

327

Josiah was one of God's beloved Kings.

328

And so it's perhaps.

329

The vengeance for Josiah

that he's taking here.

330

But if nothing else, I mean, just the

godlessness of the Egyptians, right?

331

There are faults.

332

They're a nation that worships false gods.

333

And so there's a vengeance that's

going to be taken in that sense.

334

But car commissioned the defeat

by the Babylonians there.

335

The beginning of the downfall of Egypt

here verses 13 through 26, then the

336

judgment of Egypt is going to be thorough.

337

Uh, thorough and very similar to

what had befallen Israel, except

338

there was going to be no remnant.

339

Um, and so that the judgment is, is

described here in language that leaves no

340

uncertainty in the reader's mind of what's

going to happen to the people there.

341

They're not, the sword is

going to devour around you.

342

Verse 14.

343

Uh, verse 19, prepare

yourself for, for exile.

344

So just like again, Egypt.

345

Is just like Israel.

346

They're going to go

into exile from Memphis.

347

She'll become a waste of room

without inhabitant language.

348

Very similar to how the author

described what was going to take

349

place in Judah and Jerusalem as well.

350

But what's interesting here is there's

going to be a future for Egypt.

351

Israel is going to eventually

be restored and reinhabited, um,

352

and, and yet it's going to be

different than Israel for this.

353

This is not the people of God,

but this is looking forward to.

354

Uh, the, the, uh, the millennial kingdom

and that the blessing that's going to

355

come upon the nations of the earth because

Christ is going to be raining there.

356

And we're going to see that quite a

bit, not with everybody in this nation

357

judgment period, but, but with a few of

the nations, we're going to see that there

358

is this hope in this future for them.

359

Uh, under the, the influence

of, of Israel and the millennial

360

kingdom during that time.

361

Yeah, I guess one of the questions

I want you to answer when we get

362

there, and this is a good starting

place, God's going to say this

363

about a number of nations that are.

364

For judgment.

365

Eventually they're going to be restored.

366

What's behind that, put that, put a

pin in that, because I want you to

367

answer that when we get to another one.

368

Yep.

369

Chapter 47 then is the

judgment on Philistia.

370

And I'd like to tell you that there's

a positive end to Philistia, but this

371

is one that, that doesn't have that the

Philistines are going to be wiped out.

372

Um, There's not going to

be the restoration here.

373

Uh, baldness verse five

has come upon Gaza.

374

Ashkelon is Paris.

375

Baldness was assigned a morning.

376

Uh, and so that's the idea there

and, uh, the remnant of the valley.

377

How long are you going to gash yourselves?

378

Probably a ref reference to

the worship of false idols.

379

Uh, sort of the Lord, how

long are, so you're quiet.

380

Put yourself into your scabbard.

381

And so just that the thorough

destruction of the Philistine

382

people there in Jeremiah 47.

383

I find it interesting in verse six

here, it seems like this is Jeremiah.

384

And I couldn't get anyone

to confirm this for me.

385

I don't think anyone

really commented on this.

386

But in verse six.

387

It says, Aw, sort of the Lord.

388

How long till you are quiet, put

yourself into your scabbard rest and

389

be still, it seems like Jeremiah is

interceding on behalf of the Philistines.

390

It would be really interesting.

391

For a number of reasons, but not

the least of which being these are

392

enemies and their enemies of God.

393

There.

394

His enemies, in some sense, I'm curious

to find out why he would respond this way.

395

Do you have any, do you

have a thought about that?

396

I guess I read it more as the

people of Philistia recognizing

397

that the judgment that they were

undergoing was from the Lord.

398

And asking for respite and then the answer

there in verse seven, how can it be.

399

How can it be quiet when the Lord

has given it a charge against

400

Ashkelon and against the seashore?

401

He is appointed.

402

Well, see, and that's where I, if,

if, yeah, I, I thought potentially,

403

but I, I guess maybe you can help

me clarify this then it seems like

404

Philistia has a relationship with Yahweh.

405

Alway.

406

Cause they refer to him as verse seven

when Yahweh has given it a charge.

407

Against Ashkelon.

408

So it seemed more like a

familiar sort of ya'll way.

409

Are they acknowledging then that

the Lord you're always the one who's

410

inflicting vengeance upon them.

411

I just, I would assume they would dis.

412

Dismiss that as being.

413

The God of Israel and be

their own tribal God, perhaps.

414

Except that I think that that's the point

of God's judgment is that he's glorified

415

in the execution of his judgment.

416

And I think part of the execution,

part of that glory comes in

417

the recognition that it is him.

418

Right.

419

I mean, even the Ninevites when

they initially repented under Jonah.

420

Uh, they did so.

421

Acknowledging that, that it was

God that God was there, that God

422

had the right to judge that God

could bring the wrath against them.

423

Um, So the.

424

I think there's even the, the, the

sailors in the book of Jonah when they're

425

there on the sea and that the Tempest

comes against them and they say, okay,

426

whose God is responsible for this.

427

And they eventually find

out that it's Jonah's God.

428

And so they're desperate to

appease the wrath of God,

429

understanding that it is him.

430

Um, until they throw Jonah overboard

and find that the seat comes down.

431

So I guess my thought is.

432

It's it's part of the glory of God

that the nations recognize not in a

433

submissive element, but in a, in the

terror of falling under his wrath.

434

Please.

435

Mountains and Hills fall on us.

436

Cover us just like it's going to

be in the end times when the people

437

recognize this God's wrath at

that point, if that makes sense.

438

Just my thought.

439

But yeah, I could see where you

could read that as being Jeremiah

440

as well, which in, in which case, I

think we do see Jeremiah's humanity

441

throughout the book where he.

442

Doesn't say not, not that he's saying

enough is enough, but I think where the

443

prophet is saying, man, this is hard.

444

This is difficult.

445

Uh, these are hard things for me to

comprehend in, in, in digest and process.

446

Totally.

447

And so I could see where it

could be that mentality as well.

448

Well, 48, we get Moab.

449

And one of the things that you're going

to find in the description for Moab

450

in a lot of these, but specifically

in Moab is that one of the main

451

charges against them is their pride.

452

So in verse seven, we find that they're

a nation that trusted in their works

453

instead of the Lord in verse seven,

it says you trusted in your works,

454

your treasures, and you shall also be.

455

Taken.

456

Uh, and then verse 26, it

says make him drunk because he

457

magnified himself against the Lord.

458

So that.

459

She'll be she'll wallow.

460

Yeah, it's a pretty

picture while on his vomit.

461

Right?

462

He too shall be held in derision verse 29.

463

Again, the pride fullness we've

heard of the pride of Moab,

464

he is very proud is locked in.

465

It's his pride, his arrogance,

the Hottie look at that.

466

How many different ways does

he see pride in verse 29?

467

So if there's any question about what's

at the heart of the judgment of Moab, w.

468

We get the answer here.

469

It's the pride.

470

It's the arrogance there.

471

Uh, 48 42 mullet shall be destroyed

and shall no longer be a people because

472

he magnified himself against the Lord.

473

So the history of the mobile.

474

Up and down when you have

Ruth come out of the Moabites.

475

And so one of David's ancestors,

one of the ancestors of

476

Jesus, was that a MOA bitus.

477

Uh, but by and large, the people

of Moab were the enemies of God.

478

In fact, David.

479

Even just a few generations after his

grandmother, he ends up doing a great.

480

Defeat to the people of Moab

and ends up killing a lot of

481

their, their warriors in that.

482

So, uh, the people know a long history

of, of, uh, rebelling against God and

483

they're going to suffer, but verse

47 in the future, there's going to

484

be a restoration of the Moabites.

485

Again, yet, I'll restore the fortunes

of Moab in the latter days, declares

486

the Lord thus far as the judgment.

487

Of Noah.

488

So you mentioned why.

489

Yeah, yeah.

490

Answer the question.

491

I mean.

492

Jeremiah.

493

Doesn't say why here.

494

So let's just be clear on that.

495

It doesn't say here in verse 48,

because there is no 48, right?

496

Here's why.

497

All we have is this, which

is different than Philistia.

498

Philistia gets a judgment, notice,

a receipt that says you're going

499

to be judged and that's it.

500

Here.

501

And also, I mean, for some of the

people that we're going to see in the

502

coming chapters, we have a similar note.

503

So why do you think God restores the

fortunes of Moab in the latter days?

504

Yeah.

505

And there, I think it's, it has to

do with, what's going to be taking

506

place during the latter days.

507

Revelation chapter 20.

508

Then I saw an angel coming down

from heaven, holding in his

509

key in his hand, the key to the

bottomless pit and a great chain.

510

And he sees the dragon that ancient

serpent, who is the devil and Satan

511

and bound him for a thousand years.

512

So during the reign of Christ on earth,

the millennial kingdom of Satan and

513

by extension, I think his demonic

forces are going to be handcuffed.

514

They're going to be bound.

515

They're going to be in

prison for a thousand years.

516

And so much of the evil that we

now see in our current world.

517

Is going to be naturally restrained

by the Lord during that time.

518

And I think when you also consider

everything happening on the geopolitical

519

landscape, leading up to the millennial

kingdom, I think those that survive.

520

That period of time are going

to understand the, the, the

521

truthfulness of who God is.

522

I think God is going to, like, we were

just talking about a minute ago with

523

God revealing himself in judgment.

524

I think God will have done that.

525

So thoroughly during that time period.

526

That you're not going to have anyone

in the, in the world, any nation in

527

the world that is going to legitimately

be able to bury their head in the

528

sand and say, we're going to continue

to pursue our own thing and deny the

529

existence of the God of the universe.

530

Hmm, interesting point.

531

I guess.

532

Yeah, I guess, yes.

533

And amen.

534

And why not?

535

The Philistines seems like

that would do the same thing.

536

Um, Yeah.

537

I don't know that there's a good

answer in my mind, at least.

538

And I think that was a fine answer.

539

I'm not saying that that was poor.

540

I'm just thinking, oh,

But why not these guys?

541

Why not?

542

The Philistines?

543

I see it here for M Ammon Edam.

544

That they do have a common lineage.

545

Maybe that there's something there.

546

Um, yeah.

547

I'm just trying to, well, the

EELAM judgment on ELAM, whoever

548

these guys are, you also see that

their Babylon, you don't get that.

549

Except Avalon probably has a reference to

something greater than Babylon itself, but

550

also the end times opposition against God.

551

So I dunno, I'm something I'm

just been kind of working through.

552

Yeah.

553

Being the Assyrians, right?

554

So 49 39.

555

We'll hit that tomorrow.

556

They're going to be restored.

557

Yeah.

558

Um, Kadar and his.

559

Uh, these Arab nomadic tribes.

560

Yeah, it is.

561

Difficult curious, why not

some and why are the others in.

562

It could be a Romans nine situation.

563

Totally.

564

I chose these.

565

I chose, I didn't choose these guys.

566

Right.

567

Could be that.

568

And that'd be okay with that.

569

Um, but if there is a, some kind of.

570

Theological argumentation happening

here, then I'd like to see that.

571

Yeah.

572

Yeah.

573

Well, let's pray.

574

And then we'll be done with, uh, another

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

575

God, we thank you for our ability

to be a discerning people.

576

We thank you that you've given us your

word to be able to, to, uh, help us

577

to understand the days and the times

and the seasons and everything else.

578

And yet we also know that the

secret things belong to you.

579

And so we want to be careful

not to press too far.

580

Uh, we do want to be wise as serpents.

581

And so we thank you for a book like

this book that we talked about at the

582

beginning, the shepherds for sale book.

583

We want to unmask evil when

there's evil to be unmasked.

584

And yet we want to be charitable

with, uh, those that are

585

generally genuinely believers.

586

And we want to make sure that

we are careful in our words

587

and careful in our indictments.

588

And so God, I just pray that we

would, uh, I pray that this book

589

would have a positive impact on

evangelicalism as a whole, that we

590

would see a return to faithfulness in.

591

Get rid of some of the nonsense

that that certainly is there.

592

And that has invaded the church.

593

And I got approved for

archers that you'd keep us.

594

From any air, keep us from drifting,

keep us from sin in that regard.

595

And so we pray this and we

ask this in Christ's name.

596

Amen.

597

Amen.

598

Keep it in your Bibles tune in

tomorrow, tomorrow for another

599

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

600

See.

601

Bye.
