Hey folks.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

What, ah, that, those commercials, man,

those ones in the Bud Wise or commercials,

4

man, those are classic commercials

that will never die in my head.

5

Yes, they live rent free and I

really would like to evict them

6

and put some scripture in there.

7

Probably, yeah.

8

Much like songs from our childhood that

we, yeah, we just listened to one before

9

we started to, we did hype ourselves up.

10

We did Did, if you can guess which song

we listened to to get hyped up before

11

this podcast you, we will send you.

12

Oh, you know we just got a

shipment of our new sweaters.

13

We did.

14

And they're black.

15

Are they?

16

I think they got, I think we got black.

17

Did we?

18

Well, I'll just find out right now.

19

You, Stacey.

20

Why here?

21

Why?

22

Okay.

23

This is riveting.

24

I think we just reordered

the green ones again.

25

I thought.

26

Okay, well we're gonna, we're gonna

let you know right now, pastor

27

Rod thinks that they're black.

28

These are green.

29

We're talking about the to live

as Christ to dies, gain sweaters

30

that some of you didn't get.

31

And so we, we had a,

another order go through.

32

This is, you probably are so

violent right now, if you're

33

hearing this in the background.

34

Oh, they're.

35

Oh, after all that.

36

Oh, they're green.

37

They're still green.

38

Okay.

39

Well, all right, well, we'll

get a black run at some point.

40

That was riveting.

41

That was, people were on the edge of

their seats wanted, could you hear

42

me pulling off the tape a little bit?

43

I was trying to be loud so

that you would be able to hear.

44

Yeah, well, you could

have been louder, yeah.

45

Now if you guess a song, we'll give

you an extra sweater at some point.

46

Yeah.

47

Maybe a black one when

we do the black one.

48

But you'd have to, you have to

guess the song specifically.

49

You can't just be like, oh, generically

'cause blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

50

It's gotta be a specific one.

51

Yep.

52

Gotta be specific.

53

And I'm not gonna tell you that

Pastor PJ loves Britney Spears.

54

And that's his favorite artist.

55

But it's not true.

56

Yeah.

57

I'm not saying it either.

58

It's also not Taylor Swift.

59

I mean you could go through

a bunch of other people.

60

Its not you're, you seem to me like

more like a Backstreet Boys guy.

61

No, like secretly though.

62

'cause you don't want people

to know, you don't want to have

63

that ruin your street cred.

64

So secretly you would listen to back,

well dad was listening to Rush Limbaugh.

65

You had your CD player on.

66

He was listening to Rushing by and you

were listening to Back Streets Back.

67

Alright.

68

Now John Michael Montgomery.

69

I did listen to a lot of John

Michael Montgomery growing up.

70

What is that country?

71

That's country.

72

Yeah.

73

Okay.

74

See that?

75

Yeah.

76

John Michael Reet Boys.

77

Yeah.

78

Disc men.

79

Do you remember those things?

80

The CD players?

81

Yeah.

82

I, well, I'll do you one better.

83

I had an Iowa cassette player.

84

Yeah.

85

That was just the bomb.

86

Yeah, it was so good.

87

It was one of my favorite devices

and I had a few cassettes and

88

I took it to middle school.

89

And I got busted, of course.

90

And so the teacher took it and sent it

up to the office and I went up to get

91

it at the end of the school day, like

I was told I should, and it was stolen.

92

And the thing is, I am like

98% sure I know who did it.

93

Was it a teacher?

94

And I still hate him to this day.

95

No, it was a student.

96

It was a student who would

sometimes work up in the office.

97

Yeah.

98

And he had access to things like that.

99

So I'm like, I know it's you bud.

100

Yeah.

101

And he never showed up with it, obviously.

102

'cause that would've been a fight.

103

I was a scrapper back in those days.

104

I'm not surprised.

105

I, yeah, we had several fights.

106

One guy I had a fight with, I felt so bad.

107

We fought, we and I got a good shot.

108

It's not like I was an amazing

fighter, but I got a good shot.

109

Yeah.

110

So much so that when I saw him

on that following Monday, it

111

was, I was, I felt really bad.

112

Wow.

113

So I went up to him and

said, man I'm sorry.

114

And that was one of the few times that

I'd ever did that with someone I fought.

115

Wow.

116

I fought one of my best friends.

117

I punched him several

times and nothing happened.

118

He was like that blow up doll.

119

Yeah.

120

You hit it and it comes back up again.

121

Yeah.

122

He was that dude.

123

And so after that we

were best friends again.

124

We fought, we took it out, and

then we hugged and we went home.

125

Dude, we were talking about Disman

and now all of a sudden you're

126

like, I've gotten all these fights.

127

Well, 'cause I was, and I

came back to middle school

128

and then I thought about that.

129

I did have a disman.

130

I had one even as early

as like college age.

131

I had one that didn't skip.

132

Yeah, it was great.

133

Yeah.

134

Do you remember those

earphones are horrible too.

135

I'm just thinking about how

far the, your phones come.

136

They were like, they come so far.

137

And they were, yeah, it was, I had the

kind that would go around your ears.

138

Okay.

139

They were the workout kind.

140

Yeah.

141

So they were a little better.

142

Yeah.

143

They're like 50 bucks.

144

But I I am so thankful for the

audio technology we have today.

145

It's so much better.

146

It is.

147

You kids don't even know.

148

No.

149

You have no clue what you missed.

150

Yeah.

151

Yeah.

152

And sometimes you had to adjust the

connector of the headphone cable to

153

the discman to get it to start playing.

154

And it had to be in

just the right location.

155

Oh, yeah.

156

Or bend the cable to get the,

they were enormously heavy.

157

They required like 16 double As, and

so it would last like eight hours.

158

Yeah.

159

And you had to replace 'em.

160

And you remember replacing the batteries.

161

That alone was.

162

We just recharge it now.

163

Yeah.

164

Plug it into your USBC and

you recharge the thing.

165

Now it doesn't require that.

166

So many things I don't miss,

although I do miss this.

167

Tell me if you thought about

this recently, being able to flip

168

through your whole CD catalog.

169

I had this massive Oh, yeah.

170

For CD case for sure.

171

I think that was fun.

172

And then you listen to the whole

album today, you never do that.

173

Unless you deliberately say, I

wanna listen to the whole album.

174

If you're a Taylor Swifty fan,

that's the person who will do that.

175

I miss that.

176

'cause then you just pop it in and

you listen to the whole album and

177

then you get a sense of the artist.

178

Or back in the day when people had

the like 10 disc changers in the car.

179

Dude, those were the rich kids.

180

Like in the trunk that

the rich kids did that.

181

Yeah.

182

My, my people, we didn't do that.

183

Yeah.

184

No, I didn't either.

185

I didn't either.

186

Yeah.

187

Yeah.

188

People talk about how

distracted we were in driving.

189

Today with our iPhones, but back then it

was, yeah, it was flipping the CD thing

190

and trying to keep your eye on the road.

191

Try with your knee searching for, yeah.

192

Yeah.

193

And then you, if you have a

map, you had a Thomas guide.

194

Yeah.

195

If you were trying to get somewhere

or you printed out the map.

196

MapQuest.

197

MapQuest.

198

So now, yeah, we have distractions,

but we also had them back then.

199

And we did okay.

200

We made, we survived.

201

We made it barely.

202

Yeah.

203

Well, hey, let's jump into our daily

Bible reading numbers 30 through 31.

204

They didn't have a Discman,

they didn't have an iPhone.

205

They didn't have MapQuest at all.

206

It's bummer during this time.

207

So bummer.

208

Yeah, they're just wandering

through that one guy singing the

209

song in the back of the camp.

210

They're like, will you stop already?

211

What do you mean you're not

surprised that I was a scrapper?

212

What's that supposed to mean?

213

Hold on a second.

214

We've moved on.

215

What do you mean by that?

216

We've moved on from that.

217

I, oh, okay.

218

We're gonna have a

conversation after this thing.

219

Are we gonna scrap?

220

We're gonna scrap.

221

I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell,

I'm over for one in fights.

222

I announced that publicly.

223

Yeah, that's true.

224

I'm not looking for two.

225

Yeah.

226

Right.

227

I'll let you off of it.

228

Alright.

229

Number chapter 30, we get into a situation

that, again, involves a little bit of

230

clarification for us because we might

read this, and you might read this

231

as, okay, here comes more patriarchal,

things that the men could undo, the vows

232

the women made and so forth and so on.

233

Instead, I think the way that we

have to read this is that God was

234

providing a covering for these and

remember, these are the daughters,

235

these are the younger women, and

God is providing male headship and.

236

Covering to these daughters and

he is providing the husband to

237

be able to provide even, I would

argue wisdom that they're not

238

gonna have in their youthfulness

to be able to say, you know what?

239

It sounds like that was pretty

impetuous, the vow that you just made.

240

I don't think that you should honor that.

241

And God was providing an out

where as otherwise they would've

242

had to fulfill their vow.

243

The law said you have to fulfill your vow.

244

God's saying, I'm gonna

give you protection here.

245

Whether it be the husband

who marries a young girl or.

246

The father who says, you

know what, this is not okay.

247

We're gonna, we're gonna undo this.

248

God is merciful here to

allow them to do that.

249

Yeah.

250

And remember, we think

about this so differently.

251

We live in 2026 and so we see this

and we're like, oh, I don't like that.

252

She should have freedom

to do all these things.

253

And she's her own woman.

254

And I'm woman, I'm invincible.

255

Hear me roar.

256

All those things.

257

God is doing this as a protective measure.

258

It's a different society,

different expectations.

259

This is a good thing.

260

Don't read this with your 2026 eyes.

261

Yeah.

262

Yeah.

263

Speaking of which, you've

referenced that book a couple times.

264

You, you just finished the

book, the Western Eyes.

265

I did, yes.

266

Misreading scripture through Western Eyes.

267

E Randolph something and another guy.

268

I forget the names of these guys, but I,

overall I appreciated it 'cause it did

269

challenge me and to gimme opportunity

to argue with it a little bit and

270

to sharpen my own theological sort

as I consider how we read scripture.

271

So I recommend it.

272

I enjoyed it.

273

If you want to understand some of the.

274

Things that we bring to scripture

that we're not often aware of.

275

It's a great read for that.

276

Not everything in it do I love.

277

And in fact, one of the things I think

is that the Western culture in a lot

278

of ways, not every way, but in a lot of

ways gets scripture right in saying even

279

though it was written from an Eastern

mindset, the way that the Western has

280

the west has interpreted a lot of these

things has been largely beneficial.

281

And that's why you see so many

common grace effects all around us.

282

The fact that we drive on

the right side of the road.

283

Just think about that.

284

You go, I mean there's the western

nations developed nations will do the same

285

thing, but that's a law abiding prospect

that's people saying this makes sense.

286

We like, we don't like chaos.

287

We like organization.

288

We like when people of

color inside the lines.

289

We like when people go the right speed.

290

We like when people stop at red lights.

291

When people don't do that, you undermine

how things are supposed to work.

292

But just go to an eastern country

where they don't have western values of

293

organized meaning what you say, staying

in the line, but not meaning what you say.

294

That's unfair.

295

Staying in the lines.

296

I, as you think about

the traffic in India.

297

In India, yeah.

298

Well, how they drive.

299

I went down to Costa Rica.

300

They're driving terrified me.

301

Granted, they're, I guess they're no

western country, so it's not a, it's not

302

a firm fix in the heavens kind of thing.

303

But overall.

304

I love the book.

305

It's helpful, helps you look at

things from the perspective of

306

both your eyes as a westerner, but

also from the eyes of an easterner.

307

Also in England, western country, they

drive on the other side of the road,

308

but they drive in an organized way.

309

That's my point.

310

You're welcome.

311

Fair.

312

Fair.

313

Alright.

314

Chapter 31.

315

We have been talking and alluding to the

fact that the baam was going to be judged

316

for his role in leading Israel stray.

317

And this is what we're gonna

find here vengeance on Midian.

318

The Midianites were particularly gonna

be targeted for the way that they had all

319

lured the Israelites into sin with them.

320

This is not, let's be clear, this is not

God saying, Israel, you're not guilty

321

because it's Midian made you do it.

322

But rather this has gotta

executing justice on midn because

323

the Midianites were doing wrong.

324

They were sinning by his people.

325

And Baam is going to be

held accountable here.

326

It is gonna say in verse eight.

327

And they also killed Baam,

the son of bor with the sword.

328

And you jump down and you

say, well, how do we know why?

329

If you can come down to verse 15,

have you let all the women live?

330

Behold these.

331

On Blum's advice caused the people

of Israel to act treacherous against

332

the Lord in the incident of Peor.

333

So the plague came among the congregation.

334

So there we see that the balam had a

role in this, that balam was inciting

335

these women to go and intervene with

the Israelite men and lure them away.

336

Maybe this was Blum's concession to bail.

337

Okay.

338

I can't curse the people for

you, but here's what I can do.

339

And so perhaps this is why Bayam is

still involved at this point with

340

in introducing this idle worship and

this adultery to the Israelite people.

341

But God is executing justice

on the Midianites for what

342

they did towards that end.

343

And that's really where Bayam is an

issue because he's a prophet for hire.

344

He's really not doing it from this

principled position of saying,

345

my conviction is that the Lord

is good and he's going to do

346

this, and that He loved gain.

347

That's what Peter's

commentary is about him.

348

And consequently, I think he's doing this

as a way to say, I may not get them this

349

way, but I can tell you how I can do it.

350

Let's exchange some dollars

here and then I'll help you out.

351

And so I think he does that.

352

I have every sense every sense enemy

says, that's a really helpful explanation

353

that fits his character and his motive.

354

So that's gonna be my suggestion.

355

And that's why even though they're

not the ones who are the direct.

356

They're not the ones who are

directly assaulting Israel, they're

357

still the willing participants.

358

And so they're guilty, they're

held accountable, just in the same

359

way that bail's held accountable.

360

Well, the Midi Knights are gonna

be defeated, and we're gonna see

361

some of the spoil divided here.

362

And again, this is preparing, I think

these, this generation for when they

363

entered into the Promised land and go

after the nations there on how they

364

should operate, what they should do.

365

And so the spoils gonna be divided.

366

The Levites are gonna

get some of this as well.

367

So God is preparing them on this side

of the Jordan for what's gonna happen

368

on the other side of the Jordan.

369

Let's jump over to our New Testament

reading then in Mark chapter nine we're

370

gonna be in verses 30 through 50, mark,

chapter nine, verses 30 through 50.

371

We start out again with another prediction

that Jesus gives of his crucifixion.

372

And we, again, look at this, these things

and we might be tempted to say, why?

373

Why didn't they understand?

374

Why didn't they get it?

375

Because they had no frame

of reference for this.

376

This is why Peter stopped Jesus

the last time I said, Jesus,

377

what are you talking about?

378

You are the Christ.

379

You're the Messiah.

380

The Messiah doesn't die.

381

Remember when Paul says, we preach

Christ crucified, a stumbling block

382

to the Jews at this point in time,

to the disciples, Christ crucified

383

would've been a stumbling block to them.

384

They would not have had

any way to understand this.

385

And so, Jesus is saying these things and

he's saying these things for the future

386

benefit, not for the present benefit.

387

What I mean by that is.

388

When Jesus rises from the

dead, that's when it says in

389

the text that the disciples

remembered that he had said this.

390

He had remembered that he had spoken about

these things even on the road to Emmaus.

391

The two disciples there

will get there in Luke 24.

392

They said you know, he said he would

rise again three days later, but

393

it's now the third day and he's not.

394

Risen yet.

395

And so this is going to take root.

396

They're going to remember these words, but

they're not gonna really come to fruition

397

in their lives until the backside of

the cross until after the resurrection.

398

Yeah.

399

So we're now reading the second

time that Jesus foretells

400

his death and resurrection.

401

We're gonna get one more in chapter 10.

402

Yeah.

403

Chapter 10.

404

We'll see the third time that he says it.

405

But here, that reminder's

important for them.

406

They needed to hear it multiple times.

407

Just as you're saying here, they

didn't get it the first time.

408

Maybe not the second time,

maybe not even the third.

409

Because they were still a bit confused

afterward, but they need to be reminded.

410

I just can't help but understand.

411

I need to be reminded

too, we all need this.

412

And sometimes what we think we understand,

we actually really don't, which is why

413

we see things like who's the greatest.

414

Jesus continues to point to himself

as being the servant of all saying,

415

basically, because I'm the greatest

servant, I'm also gonna be the greatest

416

in the kingdom, which makes perfect sense.

417

Jesus is that but for you and I.

418

We have to see it from the same

vantage point of saying, service

419

is how you achieve greatness.

420

You're not to achieve greatness,

you're not to not pursue it, but

421

you're to pursue it the right

way by seeking to be a servant.

422

And he brings out kids to make the point.

423

I love the fact that Jesus

is so approachable by kids.

424

I think it says something

about Jesus as a man.

425

Mm-hmm.

426

Who was both tough and he was able to

stand toe to toe with the Pharisees

427

and the scribes, but yet still

approachable enough with the child.

428

I think that speaks volumes

about the kind of person he was.

429

Because you don't have that.

430

You often, you have one or the other.

431

You have a really a genteel kind

of guy that just welcomes kids.

432

They love to hang on him and do

all sorts of things, but tends

433

not to be an alpha of sorts.

434

And yet Jesus is strong, mighty,

and yet incredibly approachable.

435

And he brings a kid and says, look,

you wanna be great, be like this one.

436

Yeah.

437

Yeah.

438

Well, after this the disciples are still

competitive because they're pointing

439

out these other people that are casting

out demons and saying, Hey, Lord,

440

do you want us to tell 'em to stop?

441

Yeah, this is our gig, but they're

going to call down fire at this point.

442

So they're making progress, right?

443

Yeah.

444

It's a little bit better, do you

want us to call down fire on them?

445

And Jesus says, no, don't

stop 'em from doing this.

446

For whoever's not against us is for

us, which is just introduces a wrinkle.

447

Into this whole idea of like, are

these other disciples that were on the

448

periphery that, how is this happening?

449

Who are these people that are doing this?

450

And Jesus doesn't

identify them as enemies.

451

Perhaps this is, I don't know, perhaps

this is like Paul, when Paul says

452

whether in pretense or truth, Christ is

proclaimed, and in that I rejoice and

453

maybe there's some similarities here.

454

Jesus is saying, Hey, he's not.

455

Working against us.

456

He's working for the things of God.

457

And so let him go, let him be.

458

But this is one of those mysterious

things in the New Testament.

459

We don't really know who these people

are that he's talking about here.

460

Amen.

461

That's weird.

462

Yeah.

463

The rest of chapter nine, we get a similar

account to what we read about in the

464

Sermon of the Mountain, Matthew, where

Jesus is gonna tell the disciples of

465

the seriousness of sin, and he's gonna

tell them to treat sin radically and not

466

to give it any quarter in their life.

467

If their hand causes them to

sin, cut it off, throw it away.

468

If your eye causes you sin,

gouge it out and throw it out.

469

Now again, we've talked about this.

470

This was not to be taken literally.

471

Because you'd be, have churches

full of maimed and blind people.

472

But rather this is about, we

need to deal with sin as a threat

473

and not give it any quarter.

474

It's not a pet to have to say,

it's okay that I have this little

475

pet in my life that is fine.

476

And it's not doing anybody harm.

477

No, it is doing people harm and it's

doing you harm in your relationship

478

with the Lord and Jesus wants

you to deal with it radically.

479

Whatever the cost is, sacrifice

for your godliness, your holiness.

480

Get rid of it, get it out of your life.

481

So Mark does his thing, literary,

a literary device where he likes to

482

sandwich things and I think the part

of the reason is that he's trying

483

to say these things are related.

484

So let me throw it at you and you

tell me if you see what I see.

485

Yes.

486

Under the, who is the greatest heading?

487

He has little ones.

488

A child puts him in the midst.

489

So you wanna be great, be like this kid.

490

And then you have this intervening episode

where this guy's casting out demons.

491

He's like, Hey, let's get rid of that guy.

492

Let's call him out.

493

Yeah.

494

And she's like, Hey, don't do that.

495

And then in the next section where

it says, temptations to sin, if

496

you're following along in your ESV,

says, whoever causes one of these

497

little ones who believe in me to sin.

498

So the question then is who's the

little one that he's referring to?

499

The most recent time where he refers to

a little one is in the previous perpe.

500

Not the most recent one, but the one

before that the who is the greatest?

501

So I wonder then if what.

502

Mark is trying to help us see, and

maybe what Jesus was getting at here

503

is that the people that are not part

of our tribe are still little ones,

504

and we ought to not cause him a sin.

505

So maybe it was a sin in Jesus'

mind for him to say, Hey, hey,

506

stop casting out demons because

you're not part of our tribe.

507

You're not part of our band.

508

And he's saying here, whoever causes

one of these little ones, both that

509

person that he's talking about, the

one who is casting out demons, and

510

the little ones who are childlike.

511

You're saying don't cause him to sin

because it the stakes are incredibly

512

high and the stakes are eternal.

513

Would you track with that?

514

I think so.

515

Yeah.

516

Yeah.

517

It's a mark, it's a marking thing, right.

518

Mark does a lot of this and

I, I was trying to say, okay,

519

how does this fit, right?

520

'cause there's I see the two breads.

521

Yeah.

522

Pieces of bread.

523

Yeah.

524

Okay.

525

So another thing I wanna point out,

I really wanna ask you a question

526

about this because I'm sure people

are gonna see, what does that mean?

527

The worm does not die.

528

Is more obscure, the

fire not being quenched.

529

I think we all get that idea.

530

What does it mean that

the worm does not die?

531

How does a worm play into eternal?

532

Torment.

533

My thought on that is, is worms

are part of the natural decaying

534

process of our physical bodies.

535

And nobody would look at a worm

eating our physical bodies as

536

something that is desirable.

537

Nobody would say, yeah I want

that, that's something that I would

538

really like to have in my life.

539

And yet it.

540

It seems spiritually that the comparison

is there, the degradation that

541

the body is always being destroyed

without ever fully being destroyed.

542

The death is always taking place

without ever fully being done.

543

If you go to a, this is morbid, but if

you were to go to an ancient a Mummy or

544

a Pharaoh you open up King Tuts tomb.

545

There's not active worms in there

because there's nothing left.

546

Yeah, right.

547

For those worms, but.

548

That's not what happens in, in the natural

decaying process with other bodies that

549

are buried and exposed to the elements.

550

So, yeah, that, that

would be my take on that.

551

Yeah, I would agree with that.

552

In fact, let's just be clear here.

553

If you're reading along with this

Jesus is quoting, you'll notice

554

there's little quotation marks, single

quotation marks there in verse 48.

555

He's citing Isaiah 66 24.

556

It's the last verse of, in the last

chapter of Isaiah where he says, and they

557

shall go out and look on the dead bodies

of the men who have rebelled against me

558

for their worm shall not die, and their

fire shall not be quenched, and they

559

shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

560

So as dishonor, the

shame and the perpetual.

561

The perpetual nature of their death.

562

I think you're right about that.

563

Salt is good, but for everyone who

will be salted with fire, salt is good.

564

But if the salt is lost at saltiness,

how will you then make it salty again?

565

This is weird.

566

What would you say about this?

567

This is a strange phrase that

this is the very end of Mark nine.

568

Perhaps just the

compromise the impact that.

569

That sin can have in the believer's life.

570

If we go back to the Sermon on the Mount,

if there's parallel themes here, the salt

571

is supposed to be something that's good.

572

It's supposed to enhance flavor

of something, it's supposed to

573

make something more attractive.

574

So in that sense, we are doing that

with the gospel to the world around

575

us and sin can compromise that sin.

576

That is not dealt with the way it should

be can lead us to lose our impact.

577

And once we've lost our impact,

it's hard to regain that.

578

Yeah, that makes sense to me.

579

Specifically for verse 50

what do you make of this?

580

Everyone is salted with fire.

581

Do you have any idea about that?

582

Not enough specificity to

speak to it, I don't think.

583

Yeah I, yeah.

584

That one is, alluded me a bit.

585

Okay.

586

Those are good questions

that you've answered.

587

Thank you.

588

Alright.

589

Yeah.

590

Now you've got me noodling on that one.

591

Maybe we'll answer that

in our next episode.

592

Okay.

593

I'll send, it'll send the question

to the podcast if that's okay.

594

I'll do that.

595

Alright, let's pray for

the rest of our day.

596

God, thanks for your word and for this

time in it, we are grateful for our

597

ability to understand it and learn it

and give our thoughts to it and ask.

598

Good questions of it.

599

Pray that we continue to be

good students of your word.

600

Good.

601

Bereans as well.

602

Pray for this all to be true

of us as a church and true of

603

us, obviously as individuals.

604

We pray this all in Jesus' name, amen.
