Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another episode

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

The Lord's day.

4

It is?

5

Nope.

6

It's Monday.

7

Happy Monday.

8

Yeah.

9

Yesterday was Sunday.

10

That's correct.

11

Which you.

12

We knew because we record this.

13

Yeah.

14

On the Saturday.

15

But it's actually Friday.

16

Yes, it is actually a bad and

the reason we have to do this

17

because you get to do a wedding.

18

I do.

19

Whose wedding are you doing?

20

Shay and Lewis now.

21

Well, by the time this

rolls out Zuma, Zuma.

22

Yeah.

23

Well, how long have you known these cats?

24

Uh, for awhile, man, I think Louis

first poked his head up around

25

four or five years ago in my life.

26

Maybe.

27

Maybe longer than that.

28

He was in true north.

29

Even before that.

30

In California.

31

Yeah.

32

Yeah.

33

Yeah.

34

What do you, so every

couple has their own vibe.

35

I.

36

Well, I don't, I'm not gonna

use vibrations anymore.

37

Cause you don't like when we use that.

38

It's just every couple has this repeat.

39

But besides that, it's

part of the vernacular.

40

Thank you very much.

41

So every couple has their

own, like, you know, their,

42

their tone, their temperament.

43

Yup.

44

Describe the soon to be as humans.

45

Yeah, they love Jesus man.

46

It's true.

47

No.

48

They're great.

49

They're awesome.

50

Uh, they, they are servants and

they want to use their marriage.

51

Uh, for the Lord's glory.

52

And I think that's one of the

things I walked away just in, in

53

doing the preparatory meetings for

getting them married and even there,

54

their marriage itself is just.

55

Like, I appreciate the seriousness with

which they approach this relationship.

56

It's, uh, it's not hard, you know, puppy,

dog eyes, like they love each other.

57

No doubt about that, but I

think there's, uh, Genuine.

58

Concern for the glory of God.

59

Um, in their marriage and that's awesome.

60

Yup.

61

Yup.

62

And you've told them just

for the, for the record.

63

You've told them this

is not secret knowledge.

64

You've told them they were the.

65

One of those boring couples that

you've had to counsel because yeah.

66

Yeah.

67

In fact, I even brought that

up in the wedding itself.

68

I even said that.

69

As I was marrying them.

70

Um, yeah, because like I,

during premarital counseling,

71

I felt like I didn't even need

to be in the room sometimes.

72

Like they had the answers.

73

Yeah.

74

And they even had the, like, The

yet, but answers it's right there.

75

Even they would give

the right answer, like.

76

Shay would say, like, I'm

going to have to submit to his

77

leadership, even when I disagree.

78

Yeah.

79

And I know that that's going to be

way harder in the actual moment than

80

it is right now for me sitting here

when, when we're not married yet.

81

So they even have that part.

82

Wow.

83

And I was like, I don't

even need to be here.

84

I here's a book.

85

Go do your thing.

86

Right.

87

Yeah, but I did tell that to them,

to their face multiple times.

88

So this is good.

89

Yeah.

90

We're not divulging any sponte.

91

Yeah.

92

So I think it would be good

for a couple like that.

93

Who has it all together?

94

And they clearly are,

are ready for marriage.

95

I think a post-marital counseling

is probably what they're going to

96

benefit from a hundred percent.

97

And we even talked about that.

98

We didn't fully finish the

book that we're going through.

99

And I said, why don't we do the last

few meetings after you guys get married?

100

And they were like, Yes all

over that they won't do that.

101

That's great.

102

Well, congratulations.

103

Zuma's.

104

We're grateful to have you guys.

105

Yeah.

106

Hey, um, you came in with a new toy.

107

To the office the other day.

108

Did I ever.

109

I don't use this term often.

110

Cause I feel like it's overblown.

111

Yeah.

112

But this is a game changer.

113

Yeah, you were, you were very, it's

the most excited about something

114

that I've seen you in a long time.

115

I've been so enthusiastic about.

116

Okay.

117

So I'll just surprise.

118

Surprise.

119

I got an under off it or

an under desk treadmill.

120

Yep.

121

So I heard about, so another

podcast that I follow was

122

talking about how he likes it.

123

It's.

124

It's benefit for him and

helps him with his work.

125

I'm like, you know, I've been, I've

been thinking about this for years.

126

Yeah, it's been on my radar for years.

127

Ever since I had a standing desk I've been

thinking about, I really would like to

128

have a treadmill because I like to take

walks, take regular walks out of the day.

129

I value that helps me.

130

Outside right now.

131

Super hot and it also gets

pretty cold out here too.

132

Yeah.

133

So there's days where it's just not very

feasible or it's not enjoyable anyway.

134

So I thought this is

perfect for our climate.

135

So I picked one up, it was on sale

and I thought this is, and it's,

136

you know, it's perfect price.

137

And I thought if I don't like

it, I'll just send it back.

138

Yep.

139

I've used it now for a week and a half.

140

Maybe two weeks at this point.

141

And I fallen in love.

142

I'm doing emails, I'm listening to music.

143

I mean, when I, when I stand at my

computer, I have my treadmill underneath

144

and I'm doing stuff at the same time.

145

It's wonderful.

146

And because you're moving, I feel like

I'm thinking better and I'm doing, I

147

mean, granted, it's hard to type and

walk when you're walking too fast.

148

Yeah.

149

But the benefits outweigh some

of those minor annoyances.

150

So the question is, everybody's

asking, everybody's been asking, of

151

course, do you switch your pedometer?

152

Your, your watch to your foot.

153

So that, cause I've, I've heard with

these standing desks, that it doesn't

154

register your steps when you're

typing and walking at the same time.

155

It's not, it's not good at that.

156

I've noticed that, but I don't,

I don't really care much.

157

I'm doing it, not for the

numbers, I'm doing it for the

158

benefit of what I'm doing.

159

So.

160

Hey, whatever, if it registers it great.

161

If it doesn't, I'm also okay with that

too, because I'm, I'm, I'm using it

162

for the purpose, which is to keep my

energy high, to keep my motivation up.

163

And it's worked amazingly well.

164

Alright.

165

Well, there you go.

166

You heard it.

167

I mean, does next door haven't you?

168

I haven't heard it.

169

You haven't heard it.

170

Okay.

171

Okay, that's good.

172

Cause it's, it could be probably

kind of annoying, but yeah.

173

I've been using it all day?

174

No, I haven't heard it.

175

And let me see, let me see how

many steps they have right now.

176

I don't know.

177

I only 5,002 billion, 5,000.

178

I've walked more than that, but

I've been doing this all day.

179

Wow.

180

Well, I appreciate that.

181

You're not walking right now because

it's not in the room right now.

182

Well, We're almost dragged it in

and used it during the podcast.

183

That might be audible.

184

Yeah.

185

I don't know if I keep it slow enough.

186

It's not that loud.

187

Okay.

188

Well fair.

189

Maybe next time.

190

Hey second Kings 24, 25

in second Chronicles, 36.

191

We are.

192

Uh, back in the book of Kings and

Chronicles in, as the name might imply,

193

we are talking about the Kings again.

194

In fact, we're talking about the

final Kings of Judah of the Southern

195

kingdom, and the reason being is we're

going to cover the end of second Kings

196

and the end of second Chronicles.

197

So we're finishing two books today.

198

Wow.

199

Um, as we continue in our progress

here, we open up with Julia Kim.

200

Now it's important to keep these

Kings in order, and I know.

201

You've got your chart out in front of

you right now, and that's been helpful.

202

I do.

203

That's his chart.

204

If you're wondering what that

sound was, that's the chart.

205

Uh, so it's probably going to have that,

but these last Kings that come through,

206

you're going to go, Julia Kim, Joey chin,

and then Zedekiah, uh, we talked about

207

Zedekiah a lot in yesterday's episode,

we've been talking about him and Jeremiah,

208

but we're backing up a little bit to.

209

To Julia Kim joy, Kim.

210

Uh, ranged from 609 to

5 98 or thereabouts.

211

Um, and, uh, he's one of the,

the, the last handful of Kings

212

that is among the evil Kings.

213

Uh, and so the Lord brings foes against

him and notice in 24, 2, it's not just the

214

Babylonians, but the Lord also brings the

Syrians in the Moabites and the Ammonites

215

against Judah here in this context.

216

So.

217

Uh, why are they all coming?

218

Well, they're all coming as, as servants

of Babylon, Babylon has come through

219

and they've kind of commissioned these

other nations to come against you.

220

But in the bigger picture, this

is God bringing the enemies

221

of Israel against Israel.

222

This is God saying, I'm bringing

everybody against you at this point.

223

Uh, and why look at verse

three for the sins of Manasseh.

224

Uh, Manasseh again towards the end

of his life seems to have rebounded a

225

little bit, but man, So many times in

the profits and here in second Kings.

226

He is referenced as the one that, that

is the straw that broke the camel's back.

227

So to speak with God that, that

he is the one for his sins.

228

Uh, is, is why this judgment and wrath

is coming upon the people of Israel here.

229

And so Manasseh is called

out there in verse three.

230

Uh, In this context.

231

Uh, verse seven, something to note

here, Egypt has been defeated and that's

232

that's important because Israel has long

looked at Egypt as kind of a shield.

233

As long as Egypt was on the

scene, they didn't need to

234

fear the Assyrians they needed.

235

I didn't need to fear the Babylonian

so much because Egypt would say,

236

well, now Babylon is taken Egypt out.

237

And so that's kind of that last, uh, that

last safety net that, that Israel thought

238

they had there, even though God had warned

them so many times not to trust in Egypt.

239

Uh, here.

240

The Egyptians are, are removed.

241

And now that they can't trust in Egypt

anymore, even though they're going to

242

give it one last fell swipe and, uh, and

grasp it at at Egypt can support later on.

243

Yeah, I think one of the cool things

that I've noticed now that I'm reading

244

the Bible in this way, because this is

the first time I've done this, reading

245

the Bible in this particular form.

246

Not reading the Bible at all.

247

Not yet.

248

No.

249

It's not my first time reading

the Bible, read the Bible.

250

It is the first time I've read it

this way with this particular plan.

251

And I'm, I've appreciated the ability to

kind of synthesize the multiple threads.

252

And I think, I dunno, I didn't

register this in a conscious way,

253

but having Jeremiah talk about this

very stuff that we read yesterday.

254

Yeah.

255

You know, in addition to second

Kings 25 and 26 and then second

256

Chronicles, 30, whatever it is, 36 36.

257

Yeah, it's been really interesting to

put all these together, cause I, yeah,

258

there's so much of the Bible that is

parallel and contributive to other

259

books that it's just, this has been so

helpful to see this together because

260

you get different shades of nuance and

different understandings of what's being

261

said here and having my, my trustee.

262

King charts, which I have three of

them here in front of me, but I want

263

to only one right in front of my eyes.

264

Uh, that's been really helpful

too, because I think to your

265

point, Manasseh is kind of like the

he's the Southern kingdoms Ahab.

266

Ahab was like, and, you know, sense of

Ahab because of this sense of a habit.

267

Which caused Israel to sin.

268

Manasseh kind of fills that role here, but

NASA is way further down the chain here.

269

Ahab was pretty early on in.

270

The Northern kingdoms rule and

reign or the sins of Jeroboam to.

271

so I think.

272

The Southern kingdom does remarkably

well, all things considered.

273

And then part of the reason for

that is because God preserved him.

274

It's not that the Southern kingdom is

especially great, but it's Southern

275

kingdom is the line of David, right?

276

David.

277

Uh, David's life and his faithfulness

is what causes God to say, okay,

278

I've caused David to walk faithfully.

279

So I'm going to preserve his line

for much longer, even though there's

280

even a, there's an end or there's

an exhaustion and extinguishing.

281

I've God's patience with them

because of the sins that they commit.

282

So even in this case, Now you see

God's patience and his severity

283

on display at the same time.

284

Yeah.

285

And Manasseh is really a cynic to

keep for the people as a whole.

286

I mean, it's yes, he's being

the one that called out.

287

He was the head.

288

But this is really about the

wickedness of Israel as a whole.

289

And yet God, to your point

still comes back into offers

290

the opportunities to repent.

291

And I've been talking about

it with Jeremiah recently.

292

It's if they were truly

repent, God would truly relent.

293

And yet.

294

They wouldn't because of the stubbornness

because of their hardheartedness

295

and that's why eventually, yeah.

296

Okay.

297

Here comes the Babylonians and

here comes the siege that happens.

298

Jehoiachin is the next king that comes up.

299

Uh, and he is going to rain

after Joey Kim, but he's only

300

going to rain for three months.

301

And so now we're quick, quick.

302

Josiah chin is also JECA.

303

Naya is also co Naya.

304

Yeah, right.

305

Okay.

306

Joey chin is Jack and I is Kona.

307

Just a heads up on that

three different names.

308

He's referenced all by all

three in different places.

309

There's probably a song out

there about all of them.

310

I'm sure.

311

You know, we should find that song.

312

Yeah.

313

And have you perform.

314

You should sing it.

315

You're the worship guy.

316

Yeah, but then that, that would, I don't

want to, you know, mix mix of things.

317

Fair enough.

318

Anyways, joy.

319

And he's, he's only going to rank

for three months and this is 5 97.

320

BC is a that's the timeframe here.

321

Uh, second Kings 24, 11 through 17

Nebuchadnezzar comes back to attack

322

the city during his brief rain.

323

And he ends up surrendering to him.

324

He's like, all right, I surrender.

325

And so joy Ching in many of the

people along with the treasures

326

of the temple are taken captive.

327

So 10,000 people it says in the text here

are taken away at this point in time.

328

And this is the second of the deportation.

329

So the first one is 6 0 5.

330

Second one is taking place in 5 97, which

is what we're reading about right here.

331

Third, one's going to take place in 5

86 and there's, there's a very small

332

one that takes place in around 5 82.

333

So the three main ones

are six, a 5, 5 97, 5 86.

334

Those are the days to keep in mind.

335

We're in the middle right now.

336

We're at the 5 97 1.

337

And the 5 86 is the main

one is the main one.

338

Yeah, that's the one where the

city falls and everything else.

339

Yeah.

340

So, uh, 5 97, this is 10,000 people go.

341

At this point, as well as a lot

of the treasures of the temple.

342

Well, Joy can.

343

Al off the scene now and Nebuchadnezzar

needs somebody reigning, but

344

he needs kind of a puppet king.

345

And so this is where is

that a Kaia comes in.

346

And so, uh, Nebuchadnezzar installs,

is that a Kaia as the one to reign

347

there in Judah thinking that he could

keep set of kind of under his thumb?

348

Well, that's not going

to be the case for long.

349

Uh, and Zedekiah his ninth year

in response to his rebellion.

350

Nebuchadnezzar comes back to

the city to besiege the city.

351

So we're talking about ninth years at

a county would have been about 5 88 BC.

352

So the siege begins at that point.

353

It's about a 30 month siege,

like I mentioned earlier.

354

So this is going to stretch from

fighty 5 88, all the way into 5 86 BC.

355

And it's in the 11th year there

5 86, that Jerusalem is actually

356

going to fall to the Babylonians.

357

And so you've got this, the seizure

that's taking place here, but in

358

verses six through seven at chapter

25, you get again, the punishment of.

359

Zedekiah we talked about

that in the last episode.

360

His sons are executed before his eyes.

361

And then as I said, is removed from him.

362

Uh, and then in verses eight

through 10, you've got the temple

363

destroyed, the palace destroyed.

364

And most of the houses in

Judah they're destroyed and the

365

wall of the city broken down.

366

So this is 5 86.

367

We were just in 5 97.

368

Now we're fast forwarding here in the

rest of chapter 25, all the way to 5 86.

369

And this is the final

destruction of Jerusalem.

370

Very sad.

371

One thing I want to point out here

that you may have either asked a

372

question about, or just crossed

over entirely without noticing it is

373

in verse 12, where it talks about.

374

Uh, Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave

himself up to the king of Babylon

375

himself and his mother and his

servants and his officials and his

376

palace officials, the king of Babylon.

377

Took him prisoner in the

eighth year of his reign.

378

Now, initially, I thought, why would the

Bible say that Jack and I are, Jehoiachin

379

rather only rain for a few months.

380

Why did he say it's the

eighth year of his reign?

381

And the reason I was confused is because

it's not talking about Jehoiachin, let's

382

talking about king Nebuchadnezzar, right?

383

It's the eighth year of nebs rain.

384

Now this is the first time in the Bible

that it uses the, the dating mechanism

385

of a pagan and foreign and king.

386

Which tells the reader.

387

Something has dramatically shifted

in the life of Israel or Judah,

388

rather in that Judas Kings are no

longer defined by their kingship.

389

Dudas.

390

People are no longer defined

by their rulers because the

391

shift has come from them.

392

Now to king Nebuchadnezzar.

393

So you'll see both here and in chapter

25, it now starts using dating mechanisms.

394

According to king Nebuchadnezzar.

395

That's huge.

396

And that should alert us something

big has changed in Judah.

397

Yeah.

398

Great observation.

399

We'll get Elia then comes up and we

talked about him in yesterday's episode.

400

He's the governor he's left behind.

401

There's not much to govern any more,

but he's left behind it to kind of keep

402

the peace so to speak in Judah, but

he doesn't keep the peace very well.

403

In fact, the people in verses 22 through

26 end up rebelling against Gedaliah

404

and they, uh, they, they kill him and

they're going to flee to Egypt after this.

405

Uh, and so you get a lie is,

is kind of a blip on the radar.

406

He doesn't.

407

Govern very well.

408

Um, which I guess is keeping with

the rest of the guys that were

409

given chargers before him even.

410

Uh, and so this is a.

411

An ignominious end for, for

Gedaliah's he's murdered.

412

And the people are going to flee

to Egypt after this out of fear of

413

the reprisal from the Babylonians,

cause get alive was Babylonian.

414

He wasn't a Judith Judean.

415

He wasn't like, is that a

Kira or any of the others?

416

He was.

417

Uh, foreigner.

418

Why did Ishmael do this?

419

Why did he kill?

420

Get alive?

421

Yeah.

422

Uh, Share your insights.

423

Oh, I have a thought.

424

I just thought maybe you

had an idea about, I mean,

425

clearly I, well, not clearly.

426

I think.

427

And this is just simply reading

into the text and as soon,

428

okay, what's happening here?

429

I think the dynamic is we don't

like your leadership were.

430

We re we were loyal to

the crown Kings at a Kyle.

431

He should be the one who's ruling.

432

And if it's not going to be

him, then I'm going to make

433

sure that it's not your puppet.

434

Governor, right, right.

435

Yeah.

436

Or, or just in general.

437

Hey, we don't want the Babylonians here.

438

Yeah, that could be in revolution

type thing where they're saying,

439

no, we don't want your leadership.

440

We're going to do our own thing.

441

Right.

442

Especially because the response

to this is to go to Egypt.

443

And like I said earlier, they've

continued to trust in Egypt and

444

Egypt was not going to be able

to help them because Babylon RD.

445

Take care of Egypt and Turkey Egypt out.

446

Right.

447

Yeah.

448

Versus T 2,730, then the, uh,

we flashed back to Jehoiachin.

449

Remember Jehoiachin came before.

450

Is that a CA humanly?

451

Only rain for three

months and he surrendered.

452

Well, Julia chin.

453

Uh, ends up released from prison in

Babylon there and kinda is Shamar me.

454

He hangs out and sits at the King's

table for the rest of his life.

455

So joy chin.

456

Quickly forgets is Judy and loyalty

and ends up as one of Babel.

457

Babylon's guys.

458

I mean, it ends on a positive note.

459

It shows that God is preserving

his people even in captivity and

460

that there is a glimmer of hope.

461

That is still yet to be for his people.

462

Of Judah.

463

I guess that's a positive read of that.

464

I just read it as like this guys.

465

I like it.

466

I think we can.

467

He's like, whatever.

468

I'll do whatever I have to do to, to win.

469

He's benefit.

470

I don't think he asked him

for anything for anything.

471

I think he just says, Hey man, I'm going

to, I'm going to, I'm going to feed

472

you and I'm gonna take care of you.

473

Yeah, I guess I thought sod, it

was more of like self preservation.

474

Like, Hey, I'm surrendering

because I don't want to die.

475

I don't want to meet the same fate as some

of these other guys, I'm surrendering.

476

Do whatever you want with me.

477

I'm going to go with you.

478

And then he gets released and

the King's like sit at my table.

479

I just don't think, you know, with

Daniel, you at least get some resistance.

480

He's like, wait, Interesting.

481

We don't want the King's food.

482

We don't want the King's table.

483

I read that totally differently.

484

I read that as like, Here's here's

hope, hope for the future of Judah.

485

Yeah, I guess I didn't, because

It's not a part of that hope.

486

Like he's he's of the right line.

487

And that's where I see that.

488

So that's that's in my mind.

489

Okay.

490

He's he's a Judean king.

491

These of these of David and.

492

God remembers his promise to David.

493

He's not going to forsake him.

494

There's a future for you guys.

495

Yeah.

496

Yeah.

497

That's there.

498

Now the next Davidic king.

499

Is going to be.

500

Jesus.

501

Right.

502

Because we're done right now.

503

There's no crazy.

504

Yeah, we're done with G I mean, yeah.

505

You have this whole long

period of no Davidic Kings.

506

Yep.

507

Until Jesus enters the same,

which is really exciting.

508

Yeah.

509

Second Chronicles, 36 covered a

lot of material we just covered.

510

Uh, one note that Jehovah has wished

the chapter opens with is, uh, is the

511

one that comes before Jehovah Kim.

512

So again, there's a lot of JS

there's Jack and I there's Kanaya,

513

there's a, that's all the same guy.

514

Joe has comes before Julia Kim and we read

about him back in second Kings chapter 23.

515

So we've already covered him.

516

Uh, but the rest of the chapter covers

a lot of the same material we just

517

read in second Kings 24 through 25.

518

But do you notice the references

to Jeremiah and second Chronicles?

519

36 verse 21 and verse 12, we see.

520

Uh, specific references

to Jeremiah the prophet.

521

Whereas in second Kings, we didn't see

his name mentioned, but here he is here.

522

And we've been seeing

the overlap of parallels.

523

Like you talked about.

524

And we see his name come up.

525

In the text and then also

note verses 15 through 16.

526

Uh, that the people were still gravely

sinful during Zedekiah's reign.

527

I think that's important

for us to remember.

528

That this was not just all about judgment

and the people were cowering in a corner.

529

They were still actively

rebelling against God.

530

Go figure.

531

And in rejecting his

profits this whole time.

532

Uh, which is yeah, just tragic.

533

Verse 21.

534

The, the comment, note the comment

about the Lord, about the land, keeping

535

its Sabbath for 70 years, I made that,

um, that connection to the, the exile.

536

Um, and here we see it

specifically laid out for us.

537

This is not just a commentators insight.

538

This is the Bible telling us one of the

reasons why it was 70 years is Israel

539

had not observed the Sabbath year for 70.

540

South years for 490 years from

the time of assault all the way

541

until the time of captivity.

542

The lane had not had it Sabbath years.

543

And so the Lord was going to force it

by sending them into exile for 70 years

544

and bringing them away from the land.

545

And so we see that in

second Chronicles, 36, 21.

546

Um, and then the, the, the book ends

with a note about the return under Cyrus.

547

And you might say, well, why is that here?

548

Because second Kings didn't mention it

will remember second Chronicles first and

549

second Chronicles written after the exile.

550

And so they're writing, knowing

that this is, has happened.

551

This is a post exhibit book.

552

And so they're referencing hate.

553

That's not the end of the story.

554

Remember the people come

back, this why we're back here

555

because of what Cyrus does.

556

And we'll get there with, especially

when we get into the book of Nehemiah.

557

And, uh, And so forth.

558

Yeah, I think that that was going to be

my important point here is to remember

559

that second Chronicles, even though

there's a lot of parallel accounts to

560

what you read in first and second Kings

is largely for the post exhibit community

561

to say, look, God's not done with us.

562

God has preserved us.

563

God has protected us.

564

And the line of David is going to

be preserved one way or another.

565

And God's going to bless this at

some point, we just don't know when.

566

And of course we could look back and

say, we know when Jesus came, he's on

567

the scene, he fulfilled these things.

568

And so this is a largely upbeat book.

569

That's why doesn't tend to talk

about a lot of the lows that you see.

570

Uh, in second Kings in first Kings.

571

And this is a meant to be a boost

to the post exhibit community to

572

say, look, God has been faithful.

573

Let's trust him.

574

Let's make some progress forward.

575

And let's let's, let's

put the past behind us.

576

This is, this is a good thing.

577

This is supposed to be a good thing.

578

Anyway.

579

It is a good thing.

580

And we should, uh, do

another good thing to pray.

581

That's a good thing.

582

All right.

583

Let's pray.

584

That we do.

585

Thank you for, uh, the, the scripture.

586

We thank you for the historical

record that we have here.

587

We don't want to be like the Israelites

and continue to be in rebellion to you.

588

We want to be soft towards

sin and we want to.

589

Uh, just make sure that we are guarding.

590

Uh, the perimeters guarding against

any sort of, of, uh, compromise Lord

591

it's, it's not a one for one parallel,

but certainly as a church, we want to

592

make sure that, that we are faithful

to you, that we don't allow any sort

593

of scenes or creep into the camp

that we don't allow ourselves to,

594

to drift the way that Israel did.

595

And so we just pray that we would

continually be aware of that

596

and be faithful to what you've

called us to do as a church.

597

And so we're grateful for passages

like this for these texts, and

598

also thankful that the next king

to come, that's going to be.

599

Uh, in the Davidic line

is going to be Jesus.

600

And we look forward to that day

and we say, come quickly or Jesus.

601

Amen.

602

Amen.

603

Keeping your Bibles to didn't

get tomorrow for a whole book.

604

My favorite prophet.

605

Your favorite?

606

Favorite?

607

Wow.

608

I really liked this one.

609

I don't know if I see it, my

favorite, but I really like it.

610

Yeah.

611

You got tomorrow to find out

who let's find out, but by.
