Speaker:

Hey everybody.

2

:

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

And happy Sunday.

4

:

Happy Sunday.

5

:

Yep.

6

:

And if you are on your way to church

and haven't gotten there yet, we're

7

:

gonna ask you to do something that we

asked you to do, I think last week too.

8

:

Yeah.

9

:

Read your Bible.

10

:

Yes, do that.

11

:

Pray one Peter one, 14 through 16.

12

:

Specifically drive to church.

13

:

Drive to church.

14

:

Bring your family.

15

:

Don't leave them home.

16

:

Your family.

17

:

Don't forget the family.

18

:

Yeah.

19

:

Don't do that though bad.

20

:

Are we a dog friendly church?

21

:

Could we bring their dog?

22

:

Nope.

23

:

Nope.

24

:

Do we do animal blessings?

25

:

I've had lots of people ask the question.

26

:

No, you haven't.

27

:

People wanna know there's a

goldfish that's not doing so well.

28

:

No, we don't do animal blessings.

29

:

Okay.

30

:

Are you going drag that

conversation into this right now?

31

:

No, I'm not.

32

:

No.

33

:

All right, great.

34

:

We'll leave it alone.

35

:

People wanna know.

36

:

People wanna know.

37

:

Yeah.

38

:

No, but we are gonna ask if you are one

of our ours and we trust that you are,

39

:

if you're listening to this podcast,

that you would do us a favor of sitting

40

:

a little bit closer than you normally do.

41

:

In fact.

42

:

A lot closer than you normally do.

43

:

Find the closest that you can

get aside from sitting on stage.

44

:

If you can't see Pastor PJ's,

wrinkles, you're not close enough.

45

:

Yikes.

46

:

You don't need to get that

close, but move on up and move in

47

:

because that does us a huge favor.

48

:

God is growing our church, which we love,

and we are doing the best that we can do

49

:

in the facility that we've got right now.

50

:

And we've got some room to grow still

in that facility, which is great.

51

:

We can stay where we're at.

52

:

We can continue to grow.

53

:

We don't need to, make a

dramatic shift on anything.

54

:

But we are filling up that room and

we're gonna be adding more chairs in the

55

:

coming weeks too, to accommodate that.

56

:

What we pray will be continued growth.

57

:

And so what you can do for us is

move forward and move in and you

58

:

might think, does that really matter?

59

:

And the answer is it really does.

60

:

And it.

61

:

While the number of empty chairs may not

change in the room, the perception of the

62

:

visitor walking into the room does change

in the sense that if you walk into a room

63

:

and we've all been there before and you

look around at the only seats that are

64

:

open are all the way down front, you're

gonna feel like, Hey man, there's not

65

:

really any room for me in this place.

66

:

There's seats there.

67

:

Sure.

68

:

But I don't wanna walk down there.

69

:

I don't know if those are reserved.

70

:

I don't know if, if somebody on

the worship team's gonna come

71

:

down and sit in those seats.

72

:

I don't really wanna walk in front

of all these people, I don't know,

73

:

and go down there and sit there.

74

:

Or maybe they're looking in the back

of the auditorium and there's two or

75

:

three seats, but in, they're in the

middle of the row and they're gonna

76

:

have to walk in front of seven people

that they don't know they've never met

77

:

before to sit in those three seats.

78

:

So if you can move in and move

up, that will really help.

79

:

Make our place a, a

warm and inviting place.

80

:

People tell us all the time how warm and

friendly y'all are, and we love that.

81

:

This is another extension of that to just

change the location that you're sitting.

82

:

Move up, move in.

83

:

That'd be a huge help.

84

:

Interesting that in the church

setting, the best seat in

85

:

the house are the back seats.

86

:

Back row Baptist at your home,

you'd be like, sit in the seat of

87

:

honor in front of everybody, or

you could see everybody just fine.

88

:

But in the church it's the opposite,

which is fascinating to me.

89

:

But yes, I agree.

90

:

That's the way that most people see it.

91

:

It's helpful to have those seats in

the back for people that are coming

92

:

later, and that's usually newer people.

93

:

People don't like to show up on time

if it's a church that they're not

94

:

familiar with, because honestly,

they're not necessarily trying

95

:

to make connections with people.

96

:

They're still feeling it out and

relationships just make things messier.

97

:

Yeah.

98

:

If I like you and I don't like your

church, do I come to your church?

99

:

'cause I like you?

100

:

I don't know.

101

:

It's those kinds of things.

102

:

So help us be helpful to them.

103

:

Be gracious.

104

:

Hosts and sit a little

closer to Pastor pj.

105

:

I even think I might start

sitting on the stage.

106

:

Okay.

107

:

Behind you.

108

:

Okay.

109

:

And saying We don't receive that church.

110

:

I could add colorful commentary.

111

:

I could see that being very helpful

for people to pay attention more.

112

:

I the Google Leaf during the sermon

might, I would ask questions.

113

:

Clarifying.

114

:

What did you just say?

115

:

Did you mean to say it this way?

116

:

Sound effects some people.

117

:

Yeah.

118

:

Sound effects could work.

119

:

I have an air horn just

waiting to be used.

120

:

Would that be on a good

point or a bad point?

121

:

Would that be like a goal?

122

:

It's ambidextrous.

123

:

Okay.

124

:

It could be either one.

125

:

Alright.

126

:

No, that'd be huge help for us, but yeah.

127

:

Good.

128

:

I'm glad to bring it then.

129

:

No, not that.

130

:

You guys moving up and

in not the air horn.

131

:

Leave the air horn at home.

132

:

Don't bring the air horn

to church on Sunday.

133

:

Yeah.

134

:

Hey, let's jump into our DVR.

135

:

We are in Ezekiel 34, 35, and 36 today.

136

:

Chapter 34 is similar to what

we talked about maybe yesterday.

137

:

I can't remember the day before on.

138

:

Israel's or Ezekiel rather, in his

role as the watchman of Israel, because

139

:

in chapter 34, what God is gonna do

is he's gonna indict the shepherds

140

:

of Israel for basically not doing

their job in caring for the people

141

:

of Israel, spiritually speaking.

142

:

And the shepherd's job was to

protect the sheep and to lead

143

:

the sheep and to feed the sheep.

144

:

And what these shepherds were

doing was, rather than protecting

145

:

them, they were exposing them.

146

:

And they were using

them for their own gain.

147

:

They were getting fat

themselves off of the sheep.

148

:

Instead of caring for these sheep.

149

:

And so you think about the juxtaposition

of Christ who says in John 10 that he's

150

:

the good shepherd and the good shepherd

lays down his life for the sheep.

151

:

These are not good shepherds that

we find in Ezekiel chapter 34.

152

:

The priest, the leaders, the spiritual

leaders of Israel, were not doing

153

:

the job that God had called them to

do that they should have been doing.

154

:

And God was indicting them

on that in chapter 34.

155

:

And so they're gonna

be called for account.

156

:

And again, the reason being is not

because the people were sinning, because

157

:

they were bad shepherds, but rather

because they were not good shepherds.

158

:

The people that were sinning,

that they were gonna be judged,

159

:

were gonna be held accountable,

and these shepherds were gonna be

160

:

held accountable for them as well.

161

:

Just like we talked about

with Ezekiel as the watchman.

162

:

By contrast, God would eventually, in

the millennial kingdom, provide the good

163

:

shepherd, and that's gonna be Jesus.

164

:

I think this is the

background of John Chapter 10.

165

:

And a, a forward-looking prophecy

as well, not just a John Chapter

166

:

10 in the first advent, but more

specifically to the second coming of

167

:

Christ when he will be their shepherd

and reign and rule over them as both

168

:

their priest and their king in that

fulfillment in the millennial kingdom.

169

:

So when he says shepherds of Israel,

then do you think he's talking to a

170

:

certain class of leader, leaders in

general, kings, prophets, priests,

171

:

I guess Ezekiel's the prophet,

and maybe Jeremiah's in view here.

172

:

Probably not though.

173

:

Who is he talking to?

174

:

I've always taken it as the spiritual

leaders, just because I think in the

175

:

New Testament it's a term that conveys

spiritual oversight more than it does the.

176

:

More political oversight.

177

:

I think it, it could play both of

those roles, but I think it, it, I've

178

:

always looked at it as from a spiritual

perspective, the priests more than

179

:

I have the kings and governors and

rulers, but it could apply to both.

180

:

Yeah, I think I'd be inclined

to agree with you there.

181

:

And I suppose that the pertinent point

for us, for those of us who are shepherds,

182

:

not everybody who's listening is going

to be one of those, but I feel this, I

183

:

read Ezekiel 34 and I even referenced.

184

:

Jeremiah 23 where he's has a little

bit of something like this in his

185

:

first four verses in that chapter.

186

:

This is such a heavy burden and God

cares deeply about his people to the

187

:

point where if a shepherd isn't doing

his job, he's derelict in his duty.

188

:

The true shepherd, the shepherd

himself, the great shepherd will

189

:

do justice for his people and that

will mean cutting down the shepherds

190

:

that are just fleecing the flock.

191

:

Look out for them.

192

:

Sadly, there are many, even within

the church, there are people that

193

:

call themselves shepherds, but really

they're wolves in sheep's clothing.

194

:

You would do well to know how to find them

and part of it is knowing your Bible well

195

:

enough to look for the marks of faithful

leadership versus the unfaithful one.

196

:

And ultimately what we're pointing to

here, as you said, is John chapter 10,

197

:

every Good shepherd is just a reflection

and a shadow of the true shepherd.

198

:

And that's the kind of person

that you should follow.

199

:

Yeah.

200

:

Yeah.

201

:

There was the.

202

:

X account, Portia, they're always

highlighting, we would say bad shepherds.

203

:

And they had one just the other day.

204

:

I think it was Saturday morning on this.

205

:

Pastor, quote unquote, I use scare

courts around that, who had basically

206

:

told his church, Hey we're gonna

welcome those in the L-G-B-T-Q

207

:

community because even though the

Bible says and speaks out against

208

:

these things I care less about what

the Bible says than I do about loving.

209

:

The people that are

creating the image of God.

210

:

What?

211

:

Yeah.

212

:

No lie.

213

:

And they unbelievable.

214

:

They have this, back and forth that

they do between the pastor and the

215

:

congregation before every service.

216

:

And the end of it is we will always love

the person in front of us more than the

217

:

war in our laps or something like that.

218

:

It's a false dichotomy.

219

:

Yeah, totally.

220

:

It.

221

:

B, but it's one that sound that,

that preaches to a liberal world.

222

:

A liberal audience.

223

:

Yeah.

224

:

Yeah.

225

:

Oh yeah.

226

:

We should love people more than we should.

227

:

Love the, bibliography.

228

:

It's that accusation of

against us as in our camp.

229

:

And that's, you're right, it's a false

dichotomy because the way that we shepherd

230

:

and love people the best is by pointing

them to the word of God and calling them

231

:

into into obedience to the word of God.

232

:

In fact, we're gonna talk about that.

233

:

Today.

234

:

And the reason for that is because

that's what God desires and he desires

235

:

that not because of some, he's waiting

for us to prove ourselves, but because

236

:

he wants a relationship with us and

holiness is key to that relationship.

237

:

And so yeah, that's been taken care of

for us at the cross, but it's also a.

238

:

It's a dynamic relationship here

on Earth before we get to eternity

239

:

where the more holy we are, the

closer we're gonna feel to the Lord.

240

:

And as your shepherds, we want you to feel

that closeness to the Lord and the best

241

:

thing that we can do for you, and that

is to say, this is what God's word says.

242

:

Come and follow it.

243

:

Come and do it.

244

:

And we wanna walk with you in that

process and help you along in that.

245

:

Amen to that.

246

:

And one, one other final

thought here true shepherd does.

247

:

Tell without apology what his

flock is supposed to do here.

248

:

Here's what you should do according to

what God's word says, it doesn't mean

249

:

they wield that with a heavy hand.

250

:

We're gonna find out in one Peter

chapter five that the way a shepherd

251

:

leads is critical, not just what

he says, but how he does it.

252

:

And those two pieces together.

253

:

Having a thick skin and tender

heart is what allows a pastor a

254

:

shepherd to really do his job with

excellence and with Christ-likeness.

255

:

Yeah.

256

:

Yeah.

257

:

Chapter 35 then is about

the Edomites once more.

258

:

And so we see the Edomites again here.

259

:

Mount Sr was related to Edem and the

Edomites and the descendants of Esau.

260

:

And so this is the judgment.

261

:

We see that in chapter 35.

262

:

That's the main gist of this here,

that MTEs are gonna be punished for

263

:

gloating over Israel's downfall and

assuming that they would be able to

264

:

take over their land, even though

it still belonged to Yahweh and

265

:

even though Israel was in exile.

266

:

This is a reminder for us in this chapter

that even today, even as chaotic as things

267

:

are right now, the back and forth between

Israel and Palestine and everything

268

:

else, that land ultimately is God's land.

269

:

And he has a future for it.

270

:

And nobody is going to lay claim to that

land that he's not gonna allow to do that.

271

:

And ultimately he's gonna rid

everybody and set up the kingdom there.

272

:

So the Edomites presume upon their place.

273

:

And God is saying, Nope,

this isn't your place.

274

:

And so judgment is gonna come

against Edem here in Chapter 35.

275

:

I think Edem continues to play

this role of being an anti type

276

:

or really a scarecrow of sorts.

277

:

They represent.

278

:

Israel's enemies and they just

happen to be the ones that

279

:

actually are fulfilling this role.

280

:

So I suppose one thing I would caution

you against is being overly literal

281

:

in the way that you read Chapter 35

and just saying, oh, it's only edem.

282

:

They're the real big issue here.

283

:

They're not sure they are an issue, but

they are one issue among many others.

284

:

It's really the nations that

set themselves against Israel.

285

:

Simply the punching bag here that

God utilizes to say it's like this.

286

:

You guys are acting in ways

and you're the stereotype that

287

:

fits the general statement.

288

:

Yeah.

289

:

Yeah, for sure.

290

:

Yeah, that's a good point.

291

:

A chapter 36 is one of the more

well-known chapters in Ezekiel because

292

:

we deal with new covenant language here.

293

:

And so the beginning part of the chapter,

God is saying that he's gonna avenge the

294

:

land, but really the people of Israel,

for those that are gloating, those that

295

:

are celebrating their downfall, he's

gonna restore Israel out of concern

296

:

for his name, verses 20 through 21.

297

:

He's saying, this is not gonna be for you,

but this is for my name, for my glory.

298

:

And then he gets into the new covenant

language here in the the verses.

299

:

24 through 28 specifically.

300

:

But his future restoration of

the people is gonna involve

301

:

this new covenant language.

302

:

And this is going to be the language

of the new heart and the new spirit,

303

:

and the sprinkling with water for the

cleansing of sin, removing the heart

304

:

of stone, giving the heart of flesh,

putting the spirit within him, all these

305

:

things, walking in obedience, dwelling

in the land that I gave to the fathers.

306

:

And you shall be my people,

and I will be your God.

307

:

So remember, Jeremiah 31 is

the chapter Jeremiah 31 31.

308

:

Begins it is the original introduction

in the new covenant language.

309

:

This picks up on a lot of

those same themes and develops

310

:

it a little bit more for us.

311

:

And this is the background of so

much of what Jesus picks up on in

312

:

the New Testament when he talks

about being the living water in other

313

:

things like this and about sprinkling

with water for cleansing of sins.

314

:

There's a lot here behind the scenes

in from Ezekiel 36 and the new covenant

315

:

that Jesus is building upon as well.

316

:

And even though we see this as

common, we've read this before.

317

:

We exist under the new covenant.

318

:

This is.

319

:

This is huge.

320

:

I can't overstate how massive this

prediction, this prophecy is because

321

:

it points to something greater than

the current covenant giving you a

322

:

new heart, new spirit within you.

323

:

Jeremiah and Ezekiel are both

exilic, post exilic prophets.

324

:

Jeremiah lives through that,

and so this is God saying this.

325

:

Covenant appears to have failed.

326

:

People went to the land, they took

over the land under Joshua, they

327

:

lived under the judges, and now

everything really has not gone well.

328

:

The kings failed, the people failed.

329

:

They've been exiled, and yet

God is saying, I'm not done yet.

330

:

You think this is the end.

331

:

It's not the end.

332

:

I'm going to restore you and I'm gonna

do something better than anything.

333

:

The first covenant, the old covenant,

as we now know it could ever do.

334

:

So this is huge.

335

:

I hope you feel the weight of it

and also the joy of it because

336

:

you're on the other side of this.

337

:

Yeah.

338

:

Yeah.

339

:

And by when you say the covenant that

failed, there we're, let's be clear, we're

340

:

talking Mosaic, covenant, mosaic, right?

341

:

Under the old covenant.

342

:

Yes.

343

:

Yeah, that's what I meant.

344

:

Yeah.

345

:

Because the Abrahamic covenant

is still in operation.

346

:

Yes.

347

:

Davidic Covenant still in operation.

348

:

New Covenant really is there

to, to supplant the Mosaic

349

:

Covenant predominantly.

350

:

Would you say it's a helpful way

to think about the old Covenant?

351

:

'cause we talked about the old Covenant

as one singular thing, and I guess it is.

352

:

If you think of.

353

:

The Abrahamic as being the bull

that carries the smaller bulls,

354

:

like Russian nesting dolls.

355

:

Would that be a good way to think of it?

356

:

Or is it better to think of them as

several covenants under the old covenant?

357

:

I guess I've always thought of them as

multiple covenants under the old Covenant.

358

:

You've got your major ones.

359

:

The no AIC Covenant is in there too.

360

:

That one's usually not as massive,

although it's significant.

361

:

Hey, God's not gonna

flood the world again.

362

:

And here's the rainbow, and he's gonna

put that in the cloud as the sign of that.

363

:

But mosaic's big because that's, Hey,

this is how we're gonna relate to one

364

:

another and here's the sacrificial system

in, in the law and everything else.

365

:

In fact, we're talking

about that today in church.

366

:

Is the significance of what that was

foreshadowing and looking forward to?

367

:

So I guess I've always just thought

about the big three covenants in the

368

:

Old Testament, and that is the mosaic.

369

:

The Abrahamic and the Davidic and the

Abrahamic and the Davidic continue today.

370

:

The mosaic has been.

371

:

Fulfilled in Christ and

supplanted by the new covenant.

372

:

How would you say that the Mosaic covenant

and the Abrahamic covenant fit together?

373

:

Because it seems like they

contradict at least superficially.

374

:

Sure.

375

:

The Abrahamic covenant is God

saying, I'm gonna do this to

376

:

you regardless of what you do.

377

:

Abraham was asleep when the

covenant was enacted and solidified.

378

:

He does nothing.

379

:

And yet God says, I'm gonna bless you

and yet down the line you have the mosaic

380

:

covenant where Moses says, if you do this,

if you obey, then you'll have the land.

381

:

See the blessing that was promised under

Abraham, you'll get to enjoy all the

382

:

covenant blessings, but if you don't obey.

383

:

I'm gonna exile you and you're gonna

eat your kids and all the other

384

:

things that he talks about there.

385

:

And that comes to the fore.

386

:

It does.

387

:

So how do the mosaic and

the Abrahamic covenant fit?

388

:

Yeah.

389

:

How are we best to understand those?

390

:

I, my mind goes to what Paul says when

he says, not all Israel is true Israel.

391

:

And then in Galatians he says is those who

are of faith, that are sons of Abraham.

392

:

And so I, I think the

mosaic covenant was their.

393

:

And given nationally to

the people of Israel.

394

:

But it wasn't necessarily the

abiding covenant for the way that

395

:

relationship was gonna work out.

396

:

I see what you mean by, is it the

bull or the nesting doll, because

397

:

the primary relationship was

always gonna be through faith, even

398

:

with the mosaic covenant there.

399

:

They're gonna be justified by faith,

and that's why Paul could say in

400

:

Galatians three that God preached the

gospel beforehand him to, to Abraham.

401

:

So the mosaic covenant was never about are

you gonna spend eternity with God or not?

402

:

That was always gonna come down to faith.

403

:

The Mosaic Covenant was, this is what

relationship with God looks like in this

404

:

dispensation, and if you don't maintain

it, you may reveal that you don't have

405

:

that relationship founded on faith.

406

:

But that wasn't everybody.

407

:

There were some people for

whom the Mosaic Covenant was.

408

:

Was sufficient for them.

409

:

They were following him.

410

:

They were doing the things that

they had called them to do that,

411

:

that faithful remnant in others.

412

:

I think were effective in that,

but that wasn't changing the fact

413

:

that they're standing with God.

414

:

It was ultimately faith, which goes

back to the Abraham and Covenant.

415

:

So when we say the Old Covenant, the Old

Testament, is it a misnomer then to say

416

:

singular old covenant, old Testament?

417

:

Would you say is a better

way to talk about it?

418

:

Because we're saying here, and I think

I understand your point, Abrahamic

419

:

Davidic, those are carrying forward

into the New Testament, right?

420

:

And we expect those to be fully fulfilled

right at the millennial reign of Christ.

421

:

What are we saying then, right

when we say Under the old covenant?

422

:

Sometimes we'll use it

as a shorthand, right?

423

:

What are we saying?

424

:

I think we're talking Mosaic Covenant.

425

:

Anytime we say old covenant singular.

426

:

Yeah.

427

:

We're saying primarily old

covenant mosaic covenants, right?

428

:

That we have in mind.

429

:

Okay.

430

:

But the old covenant contains

many covenants or God.

431

:

Obligate himself to his people.

432

:

Among them are the Mosaic, the Abrahamic,

the Davidic, those are the big three.

433

:

You have the Adamic or the Covenant

of Works, sometimes it's called.

434

:

The Icic.

435

:

You mentioned there's

Levitical, the Levitical law.

436

:

Is that a covenant, isn't

that part of the mosaic?

437

:

Would you say the Levitical

is connected to that?

438

:

Yeah I guess I'm thinking when

he says of the, of Levi, I

439

:

won't make a covenant with you.

440

:

Okay.

441

:

In your descendants.

442

:

That's a good one.

443

:

Yeah.

444

:

It seems like this gets really confusing.

445

:

It does.

446

:

It does.

447

:

Real fast.

448

:

How does it people, how

do we keep that straight?

449

:

I think, again, remembering the big three

are the ones that are gonna have the most

450

:

bearing on us as Christians in knowing

the mosaic covenant fulfilled in Christ

451

:

no longer under the Mosaic covenant.

452

:

The Abrahamic Covenant operative, this

is the gospel from the very beginning.

453

:

This is the overarching picture, the

viic covenant points to the future

454

:

reign of Christ here on Earth.

455

:

That's important for us

as dispensationalist to

456

:

say, Hey, that's not been.

457

:

Satisfied yet.

458

:

And the Davidic covenant's significant

because the descendant of Christ,

459

:

descendant of David is gonna be Jesus.

460

:

That he is of the line of David.

461

:

So those three, I think are really big for

us to keep in mind when the storm clouds

462

:

come like they did Friday night you can

remember the no NOIC covenant with comfort

463

:

there and say, okay, the fountains aren't

gonna break loose and flood the earth.

464

:

But I think those three are really

important for us to remember.

465

:

As it pertains to us as believers, I think

for Israel, man, the Abrahamic Covenant,

466

:

I think was their bread and butter.

467

:

The no Mosaic covenant was significant

because it was a dual covenant.

468

:

They entered into it as well.

469

:

But the Abrahamic covenant,

that's the lande and blessing.

470

:

That's everything for them.

471

:

It's all about the land.

472

:

And it still is all about the land

today, which is why there's still

473

:

the combat the fighting that happens

between Israel and Palestine.

474

:

If there wasn't the Abraham a Covenant,

then Israel would've moved on and

475

:

gone somewhere else perhaps, and it

wouldn't have been that big of a deal.

476

:

But because God promised lands, seed

and blessing there in that land, I think

477

:

that's still one that they're looking at

going, this is the biggest deal right now.

478

:

And that one is covenant by grace.

479

:

That's the one that God promised

to them that was unilateral.

480

:

That's the technical

word that you could use.

481

:

Yes.

482

:

Unilateral.

483

:

The mosaic covenant is bilateral.

484

:

Yes.

485

:

That goes both ways.

486

:

And that's the one that was broken.

487

:

That's what caused their exile.

488

:

The Davidic Covenant is also unilateral

as I understand it, because God

489

:

promises to David two Samuel seven,

I'm gonna make you a sure house.

490

:

I'm gonna, I'm going to establish

your kingdom and rulership, not only

491

:

here and now, but really forever.

492

:

So the only, no that's not true.

493

:

The primary bilateral covenant under the

Old Covenant, the Old Testament is the

494

:

mosaic one, and that's the one that's.

495

:

That's being broken here, and

that's the one that's causing all

496

:

these reverberating effects, right?

497

:

To the people of Israel.

498

:

And so Ezekiel speaks to

them and says, it's not over.

499

:

The mosaic Covenant looks like it's

crumbling, but God's relationship

500

:

with you is not finalized.

501

:

He's going to promise you a new

heart, which will allow you to obey.

502

:

That's been the whole problem

here, is that you couldn't

503

:

obey the mosaic covenant.

504

:

Yeah.

505

:

And that really is the point.

506

:

The law was a Tudor Paul will

say later on in Galatians.

507

:

Three.

508

:

Yeah.

509

:

And this is part of the problem is that we

can never obey no matter how hard we try.

510

:

Yep.

511

:

Yep.

512

:

Okay.

513

:

That's as clear as mud.

514

:

Everyone's totally got it.

515

:

Totally clear.

516

:

They nailed it.

517

:

No other questions.

518

:

Are to be asked or nor will there ever

be asks ever we've ever definitively

519

:

answered every potentiality.

520

:

And now everybody's dispensationalist too.

521

:

That's right.

522

:

Even if they don't listen to this podcast,

they woke up today, they're like, oh man.

523

:

Something changed.

524

:

I believe that's your, nevermind.

525

:

Alright.

526

:

Alright, let's pray and we'll

be done with this episode.

527

:

God we freely admit that the Bible

is complex in some of these things.

528

:

It's simple in the things that we

need to know and learn and understand

529

:

when it comes to our standing with

you and who you are and who Jesus

530

:

is, and we praise you for that.

531

:

But there's other complexities here that

we do our best to try to understand,

532

:

and some of these things are the secret

things that belong to you and you alone.

533

:

But help us to.

534

:

Able to discern that and not be lazy.

535

:

Not to just say we'll never understand it.

536

:

So let's throw our hands up and not even

try, but to be good students and try to

537

:

understand as much as we can and by your

spirit, Lord, teach us, instruct us, lead

538

:

us so that we can gain more understanding

of these things and appreciate more of

539

:

who you are and how you operate today,

and how you will continue to operate.

540

:

Into the future.

541

:

So we wanna be faithful Lord, to what

you've laid out for us in scripture.

542

:

Help us do that well, we

pray in Jesus' name, amen.

543

:
