Hey, everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hi, Tuesday.

4

Tuesday.

5

It is Tuesday.

6

I thought it was Monday for a second.

7

It's not.

8

It's Tuesday.

9

Monday was yesterday.

10

Yeah.

11

Every week happens that way.

12

Monday, Tuesday, fall is Monday.

13

That's right.

14

And then Wednesday comes tomorrow, right?

15

Still.

16

Okay?

17

All right.

18

Yeah, consistency.

19

God made it that way.

20

He did make it that way.

21

Yeah.

22

Hey, it's Tuesday and we are back

with another riveting edition

23

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

24

And hopefully you've

had a good week so far.

25

Monday is the day that, that we're off.

26

And so we were at home with

our families yesterday.

27

We trust that it went well.

28

Trust that your workday got off to a work

week, got off to our good start and that

29

today you are already hard at work and

you've accomplished a million things.

30

You've accomplished more

today already than most people

31

accomplish in a full 24 hours.

32

But maybe not, maybe.

33

Maybe it's just a normal

Tuesday, and that's fine too.

34

As long as the Bible's a part of it.

35

If the Bible's not a part of

your day, then it's not okay.

36

You need to have the Bible

be a part of your day.

37

This isn't the Bible.

38

This is us talking about the Bible.

39

So make sure you don't

confuse those two things.

40

Don't think I did the DBR podcast,

so therefore I did the DBR.

41

Not the same thing.

42

Not it's not, but it is helpful.

43

It's a good supplement.

44

Yeah, great supplement.

45

Yeah, I was thinking maybe one year.

46

What we do for the Dbr R podcast

is we just read the whole Bible.

47

Oh, wow.

48

And then we have a built

in audio bible for people.

49

Here's a better idea.

50

Okay.

51

We clone our voices, particularly yours.

52

I don't.

53

And then I copy and paste

the text for the day into the

54

podcast and it does it for us.

55

Wow.

56

What a great idea, pastor Rod.

57

I don't want to do that.

58

This is why you're here.

59

Can't wait for us to do that.

60

I, thanks, bro.

61

I don't.

62

I'm looking forward to it.

63

I don't want Good idea.

64

Nope.

65

I don't wanna do that.

66

I'm glad you thought of that idea.

67

Nope.

68

I don't agree with everything

that you just said on that one.

69

Not at all.

70

Yeah.

71

Hey, did you guys see

our new podcast graphic?

72

We have a new graphic.

73

I like it, man.

74

Yeah, I just, I'm looking at it and

I'm just thinking this is attractive.

75

Yeah.

76

I feel like our podcast is

better now that we have that.

77

And you guys are gonna

be surprised by this.

78

The last graphic we were

using was AI generating what?

79

I know.

80

Totally shocked.

81

I know.

82

But we think this one,

this was human made.

83

Not by us, but we like it.

84

I think we're gonna stick with

this one for a little bit.

85

It matches all the other

stuff that we're doing.

86

It does.

87

And they really like that too.

88

Yeah.

89

Which is great.

90

Yeah.

91

We have a consistent, brand is that brand.

92

Yeah, That's about right.

93

Yeah.

94

We're blue and white.

95

A little bit of Navy thrown in.

96

There we're blue David.

97

I remember that.

98

Yeah.

99

Ja.

100

And then Blue Man Group.

101

Did you ever watch those guys?

102

No, I, I know who they are though.

103

Yeah.

104

Sure.

105

Did you go to Vegas to see those guys?

106

Every time I go to Vegas I see those

guys, which is all of zero times.

107

Yeah.

108

No, I haven't.

109

When's the last time you've been to Vegas?

110

I've driven through Vegas.

111

I've never actually stopped in, I think

I stopped outside of Vegas with our

112

college group for an in and In-N-Out stop

on a retreat that we went to up to Utah.

113

Oh yeah.

114

Okay, but that's it.

115

So you've never actually

been inside the big city?

116

The ci, the city of sin,

just on the highway.

117

Oh, okay.

118

Yeah.

119

I think the last time we went, we didn't

go down the strip for obvious reasons,

120

but I was there with my family and we

went to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop,

121

which is Oh yeah, the pawn Shop people.

122

The Pawn Stars guys.

123

Yeah.

124

And they weren't there.

125

I guess they never are there anymore.

126

Or if they are there, they're in

their actual stage where they have

127

remade the pawn shop and they.

128

They make it look like it's the

front of house, but it's behind in

129

an actual stage where interesting.

130

There's fake walls and things like

that, so it's cool, yeah, I did see it.

131

It was fun.

132

We enjoyed that and then we saw that

tall, I don't know, is it a hotel?

133

It must be a hotel, and there's people

that bungee jump off of the top of it.

134

Oh yeah.

135

Whatever that is.

136

That was cool.

137

There's a lot of things about

Las Vegas that are really

138

cool and interesting to me.

139

Like that new sphere venue.

140

Yeah.

141

Where I guess they've set it up so

that every seat that you're inside.

142

Every seat that you are inside,

that building is dialed in where the

143

sound is immersive and spectacular.

144

I guess that's a mixture

of analogies there.

145

'cause spectacular refers to

eyes, but even that, speaking of

146

spectacular, it looks like you're

inside a spaceship or whatever else.

147

They can make it feel like you're

inside a thing because of the

148

way the screen is designed.

149

So I'd love to see that.

150

But exactly what you're saying.

151

I don't wanna get anywhere near it.

152

Yeah.

153

At the same time, for so many reasons,

and I think we all know why, but

154

there are some cool things there.

155

The, I saw an Instagram reel of under

I guess there's like a, I don't,

156

it's not even a roller coaster,

but it looks like a roller coaster.

157

It's on top of one of those buildings.

158

Yeah.

159

And it just goes down a slant.

160

Yes.

161

And it stops with you

hanging off the building.

162

Over the building.

163

Yes.

164

And there's no more track.

165

Who is that?

166

Who would do that?

167

N never.

168

Not?

169

No, not out.

170

I'm out.

171

I'm out on that.

172

So when I was saying staff

events, the first event we do

173

improvisational comedy class.

174

Okay.

175

Second thing we do roller coaster

over the top of a building.

176

No, you and I ride the front seats.

177

No.

178

Not in it.

179

No.

180

Yeah, granted, I'm sure they have to test

every nut and bolt and everything on that.

181

Dude, our church would be set for life.

182

We would die.

183

The church would get all this

money from our death, I think.

184

Is that, do we have life insurance?

185

We should make sure we do.

186

I don't know that we would

be able to get a facility.

187

Pastor Mark would be

a designated survivor.

188

He's got Louis.

189

You've got Allie and Kelly

to hold the ship down.

190

I think we might want to roll the dice.

191

I pun intended men.

192

I don't know that I really wanna, yeah.

193

Yeah.

194

Okay.

195

I think I'll pass, but who knows

If we get the life insurance policy

196

before we go, that could work out.

197

Man.

198

I just don't have that

much thrill seeking in me.

199

I don't, it wouldn't be for you.

200

You could even choose not to be thrilled.

201

Okay.

202

We would let the church benefit if

anything went awry, is all I'm saying.

203

I don't even know if I would be

willing to do it blindfolded.

204

If somebody who was like, I'm gonna.

205

Put a black bag over your head and

take you up there and strap you into

206

this thing and you're gonna ride it

and have no idea what it looks like or

207

anything else, or when it's gonna go.

208

Yeah.

209

I still don't think I would wanna do that.

210

Yeah.

211

It's not a, I'm not afraid of heights.

212

I'm afraid of falling.

213

Yeah.

214

Yeah.

215

From a roller coaster, that

breaks and plummets and it

216

does happen every now and then.

217

And listen, and if it happened right,

amidst the tragedy, everybody else in the

218

world would be thinking to themselves.

219

What did you think was going to happen?

220

Like at what point did you think

that this was not going to be the

221

actual outcome of what takes place?

222

It's more of a miracle.

223

That thing that the thing stops

every time than it is that it's

224

not plummeting off the tracks.

225

Maybe that's more shocking to

me than, but see, that's the

226

exception and not the rule.

227

That's what makes it newsworthy

is that it's exceptional.

228

And if it bleeds, it

leads as the same goes.

229

Yeah.

230

So it's unusual and that's why

it's it's unusual fun to do it.

231

Yeah.

232

Not that I wanna do it either.

233

Yeah.

234

But if it does get the

church a building, no.

235

Yeah.

236

Still no.

237

Okay.

238

Yeah.

239

Hey, let's, speaking of something

that's fun and more fun, let's jump

240

into Ezekiel talking about buildings

40 through 42, talking about buildings.

241

Well, 40 through 48.

242

So we're rounding the last

three days in Ezekiel.

243

Yes.

244

You're making it.

245

Good job.

246

You didn't give up.

247

Hopefully.

248

Hopefully not.

249

Hopefully can give up.

250

Yeah.

251

But these last three days

are gonna be somewhat gnarly.

252

Yeah.

253

They can be.

254

They can be.

255

It's gonna feel like you're on a

rollercoaster on the top of a building.

256

Let's see.

257

And it stops.

258

Over the building, really

specific illustration.

259

Yeah, so chapter 40 opens 5 73 BC

5 73, 5 72, somewhere around there.

260

And the profit is gonna be

taken back to Jerusalem.

261

And again, this is most likely

in a vision maybe literally, but.

262

I think probably in visions.

263

It says in verse two, in visions of God,

he brought me to the land of Israel,

264

set me down on a very high mountain.

265

The question is, could that

vision of God have literally

266

transported him to Jerusalem?

267

I think it's just a vision.

268

Pastor, do you wanna

weigh in on that at all?

269

That's my answer.

270

Okay, awesome.

271

Anyways there's a man that shows up here.

272

He greets Ezekiel and instructs him

to pay attention in order to relay

273

everything to the exiles when he returns.

274

I call him bronzy.

275

Bronzy.

276

Okay.

277

It.

278

Some suggest this might be the angel

of the Lord, in which case that

279

would be the pre-incarnate Christ.

280

But we don't know.

281

So broy it is.

282

Okay.

283

Fair.

284

Fair enough.

285

He's given a, or the angel

rather, has a reed with him.

286

And this reed is about it's about

10 and a half feet because this

287

is a long cubit as it's defined in

the text, which is a qubit plus.

288

A hand breadth.

289

So a normal qubit's about

18 inches, a hand breadth.

290

We're adding roughly three inches to that.

291

And so we're looking at about 21

inches on this, and that's how we

292

get to the number about 10 and a

half feet in the length of this reed.

293

And he's going out to measure the

walls and he's measuring the walls

294

that are surrounding now a temple.

295

And so we have to ask ourselves

which temple because this is

296

clearly first, not the Davidic

temple or not the Solomonic temple.

297

Because that's gone, that was

destroyed already back in 5

298

86 BC under Nebuchadnezzar.

299

So then the temples that are

left for us to consider might

300

be one of three options here.

301

Could this a be the temple that's

gonna be rebuilt under Zabell?

302

And I would say there again,

the answer is gonna be no.

303

Because why?

304

Because this temple as we'll find

out, not in today's reading, but I

305

think tomorrow's reading is gonna

be in dwelt by the glory of God.

306

And the second temple is never in

dwelt by the glory of God never.

307

Sends his glory back there the way

he did with the first temple and

308

the way he does with this temple.

309

So it's not that one.

310

So it's not the Postex exilic

temple, in other words.

311

So then we have to come to option

number three, which maybe this is

312

talking about the eternal state.

313

It can't be that either, because

Revelation tells us there is no temple

314

during the eternal state because the Lord.

315

God is there.

316

The lamb is there.

317

So there's no temple in the eternal state.

318

So that only leaves

the millennial kingdom.

319

And so this seems to be that this

is a vision that Ezekiel has of the

320

temple that's going to exist during the

millennial kingdom here in Jerusalem.

321

And the, these are the descriptions,

the lengths the size and everything else

322

that he's receiving about that temple.

323

So this is one of those sections of

scripture where there's a lot of debate

324

and the heat, I think in this time.

325

It corresponds with light.

326

That is some of the things that people say

are actually quite helpful and insightful.

327

So maybe let's try to deal with a few

of them that you might hear if you were

328

to do a little bit of digging here.

329

And one of the things that you're gonna

hear is that this is an idealized.

330

Image.

331

It's a symbol that's meant to convey

more than just, Hey, build the temple.

332

So is that what's happening here?

333

Is this just symbolic?

334

Is this something for Israel to be

encouraged by God that he hasn't given up

335

on them, that he's got a future for them?

336

No and I think the specificity

of this is extreme length.

337

That God would be going to if he was

really just trying to convey the moral

338

of, Hey, I've, there's a future for you.

339

I haven't given up on you.

340

The measurements, the lengths, the

description, the detail, everything

341

else, even the instructions to Ezekiel

to say, Hey, I want you to remember

342

these things and take them back with

you to, to record these things because

343

you're gonna need this in the future.

344

There's a purpose beyond that.

345

So for me, I think, I

look at the specificity.

346

I look at the fact that there's mentions

about offerings and sacrifices that

347

are gonna be taking place here too.

348

We're just dealing with a lot of detail.

349

If this is just simply an

encouraging message to Israel,

350

that's a helpful response.

351

Some people say if Ezekiel

was intending to have.

352

The people do something about this.

353

A God doesn't say so.

354

He doesn't tell them to build it.

355

And two, to your point, the second

temple, people who built the

356

temple didn't do anything with it.

357

They didn't see it as being

necessary to say, Hey, we ought

358

to consider Ezekiel's temple.

359

What gives?

360

Yeah.

361

And that's a stronger argument for sure.

362

I think this is.

363

Whether the rest of the context of what

Ezekiel has been talking about, he knew

364

that this was gonna be a millennial

kingdom situation here rather than this

365

is something for immediate implication

in application when it comes back.

366

There seems to be an awareness

because even the next temple that's

367

built doesn't look like this.

368

And so the temple under his rub belt,

they're not trying to build this temple.

369

So there's something

about this temple that.

370

Is set apart to say, Hey, this is

gonna be something in the future.

371

It's not for right now.

372

And the fact that God is silent about

it, that he doesn't tell Ezekiel to

373

tell them, Hey, by the way, build this

temple right at this particular time.

374

I don't think that, that's

an argument from silence.

375

It's a good argument.

376

I just wanna say, wouldn't have.

377

God said this, but I think the fact

that it's here tells me that there's

378

something beyond just, Hey I'm gonna

paint you a picture and I want you just

379

to be encouraged by the picture and to

your point, because there's so many,

380

we have eight chapters of this Yes.

381

Of what it means, what it's doing.

382

Now, granted, we do have some interesting

symbols that we're gonna get to, and.

383

Tomorrow or the day after is reading where

you got water coming out of the temple.

384

It's draining into the dead

sea, it's giving it life.

385

And now you have this image

that takes on a grander view.

386

So there are people that do

believe that this is symbolic.

387

It's not meant to be.

388

Actually literally erected.

389

We would disagree and say it looks

based on what we see here, that

390

there's a lot of symbols here that

probably have a literal bearing.

391

They're symbolic, yes.

392

But in the same way that

you can have a symbolic.

393

Your wedding ring is a symbol

of your love for your spouse,

394

but it's also a literal ring.

395

It's a literal ring that you literally

put on, but it's also symbolic.

396

You can have something that's literal

and symbolic at the same time, and I

397

think this might fit into that category.

398

And one final note, maybe people

are asking the question if this is

399

happening during the millennial kingdom.

400

We've talked about this before, but

let's talk about it one more time.

401

Why are there sacrifices taking

place when Jesus has been

402

sacrificed once and for all?

403

The book of Hebrew says, yeah, this,

the millennial kingdom is gonna

404

be such a unique time for Israel.

405

When you think about it, this is

them coming to the realization

406

that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

407

And even when you think about the Book

of Zechariah and the ending of the

408

Book of Zechariah, which again I've

appealed to multiple times before,

409

but I think it's so clear there.

410

They're gonna look on him whom

they have pierced, and they're

411

gonna mourn and they're gonna rep.

412

I think the sacrificial system, it's gonna

be their chance to finally realize, oh,

413

this is what this was for the whole time.

414

So I think God is bringing it back in

the millennial kingdom to drive home

415

that point to the people of Israel.

416

Hey, now you understand now you

can appreciate this with an even

417

greater fullness because now you

understand what this was all about.

418

It's pointing to the one

who now sits on the throne.

419

Jesus the Messiah, the king.

420

And that's what all this is there for.

421

Thank you.

422

We have answered all the questions.

423

All the questions.

424

Alright.

425

Hey, a couple more things.

426

Chapter 41, we get a lot

more measurements here.

427

Verse four, notice the most holy place.

428

So there is gonna be a

holy of holies there.

429

That's fascinating to me.

430

And even I think that speaks to, the, our

Trinitarian understanding of God, because

431

you're gonna have Jesus the Messiah who's

gonna be there literally in bodily form.

432

He's gonna be reigning in Jerusalem, but

you're also gonna have the Holy of Holies.

433

And that's where the glory of

God, as we're gonna read, is gonna

434

take up residence in the temple.

435

So there you have the glory of God and you

have Jesus in the same situation there.

436

And so what do we do with that?

437

We have to point to that and say,

okay, this is a Trinitarian depiction

438

of who God is, that you're gonna

be able to have God in incarnate.

439

The second member of the Trinity.

440

And you're also gonna have God the

Father, who I believe is gonna be

441

the one that is represented by the

glory of God that's dwelling there.

442

But this holy of holy is

it 35 feet by 35 feet?

443

This is a large space there.

444

The temple itself, verse 13

is gonna be 175 feet long.

445

So that's 30.

446

No that's almost 60 yards long.

447

That's a massive building.

448

It's bigger than any of the

temples that were built.

449

Yeah.

450

Even Herod's Temple.

451

I believe that the temple

here, that Ezekiel idea.

452

Identifies.

453

Yeah.

454

The Temple Mount could fit into

the core of the Gentiles as, as we

455

understand it here, if I remember it.

456

My math is right.

457

But yeah, this is a huge,

this is a huge building.

458

Yeah.

459

This is not small.

460

This is meant to be understood as massive.

461

'cause It is.

462

Yeah, it is.

463

It is for sure.

464

For sure.

465

In chapter 42, we're dealing with the

chambers where the offerings, as you

466

were talking about, are gonna be kept and

where the priests are gonna eat the food

467

that's gonna be offered on the altar.

468

And so it's not just that the offerings

are back, but it seems like some

469

of the Old Testament law is back.

470

We talked about two days ago.

471

The old covenant, right?

472

There's gonna be some regulations and

rules for where the priests are allowed

473

to eat the food, where they're not allowed

to eat the food, and that is gonna be

474

something that, that they're going to

do again, I think in full realization

475

of what it meant and why they were

supposed to do that in the first place.

476

But the other thing too to remember

is the millennial kingdom is not

477

gonna be all populated by people

that are followers of Jesus.

478

They're gonna be those that

are there that are not.

479

So this is gonna be a.

480

As well, another opportunity

for God's people to be

481

distinct, called out, separate.

482

And they're gonna understand that

even through how the priests conduct

483

themselves here in the millennial

kingdom or the millennial temple here,

484

the entire complex we see there in,

in 42 20 is about 300 by 300 yards.

485

So that's massive.

486

Yeah.

487

As we were just talking, three football

fields by three football fields.

488

That's huge.

489

That is an enormous space.

490

Yes.

491

Anyways, anything else

on, on 40 through 42 here?

492

Don't lose heart.

493

No I guess I, yes, I do have a question.

494

Yeah.

495

And maybe we can kick this around.

496

Okay.

497

There's a lot of ink

spilled on some of these.

498

There's, these are things that I struggle

to read because A, we're still talking

499

qubits and you know how I feel about that.

500

Yep.

501

Just give me what it is in feet.

502

That would be really helpful and

thank you NLT for doing that.

503

Why would God have us to

know and to understand?

504

Some things that really don't seem to be

all that significant for us as Gentiles,

505

and I speak for you guys, not myself.

506

Why would this be necessary?

507

What role does this play for

our faith and for our day-to-day

508

practice of the Christian faith?

509

I would say it's not just for us as

Gentiles, I think it's for Israel too.

510

And so when you think about that, this

means, this is hugely significant to them.

511

And the temple was the very

center of their relationship

512

with Yahweh in the Old Testament.

513

And so for the Israelites, they're gonna

read this and say, man, this is huge.

514

This is, this matters a ton.

515

Because right now in, in Israel,

currently they have the utensils

516

and a lot of the interior.

517

Furniture of the temple ready.

518

There's the Temple Institute in

Israel and they're ready for this.

519

They're waiting for this.

520

So this is enormous in their

understanding of what is coming.

521

They're ready to build the millennial

temple as seen here in Ezekiel.

522

And so it's not just for the

church, it's also for them.

523

And even it, maybe that's what is for

the church, is the reminder that there's

524

something more than that's going on here.

525

And we've talked about it before.

526

It's not that God loves

Israel more than he loves us.

527

I, again, I'd rather be.

528

With him as the church, then one of

the Jews in the millennial kingdom.

529

I think we have a unique privilege.

530

We have the wedding supper, the lamb.

531

We have all those things that,

that God has shown his love for us.

532

But I think this is a good reminder that

God cares about his people Israel too.

533

And this is.

534

Really important for them.

535

In the New Testament, scripture

calls us as the people of God,

536

the temple of the living God.

537

We are now the temple.

538

This is one of the reasons why

today we don't have a temple.

539

We don't go to an edifice

to sacrifice a lamb.

540

The lamb of God has been

slaying on our behalf.

541

He calls us his temple.

542

Does that change in the millennial

kingdom or is there a disruption

543

in that understanding such that

a temple, a physical temple,

544

would make a lot more sense?

545

Or is it meant to be?

546

Both.

547

And we are still the temple of

God as God's people who are saved.

548

And you also have a physical temple

where his manifest glory dwells.

549

Am I making sense?

550

Yes.

551

Yeah.

552

Help me out with that.

553

Yeah I think we are, during

this dispensation, we are being

554

built into the holy temple.

555

As Paul says, we are

building blocks for that.

556

I think Peter is even gonna

pick on up on that as well.

557

That's during this dispensation,

during the church age.

558

Once the church has taken off

the scene that metaphor that.

559

That understanding of God's 'cause.

560

'cause this is where the glory

of God resides right now.

561

The glory of God resides within the

church, through the indwelling of us

562

as believers with the Holy Spirit.

563

In the millennial kingdom, we're

entering into a new stage, a new phase.

564

And with that, the idea

of the church being the.

565

The place where God's glory dwells is

no longer the case we are with Christ.

566

And again, there's so much mystery

there about what it's gonna mean

567

for us as the church to be reigning

with Christ during that time.

568

But we do know that we're

in our glorified bodies.

569

We're not in our fallen state anymore.

570

We have access to the very presence of

God because we're no longer sinners.

571

Those that are in the millennial

kingdom are still gonna be sinners.

572

So they still need a

conduit between them and.

573

The glory of God.

574

They still need a way to, to come

before God and worship God and

575

bring their sacrifice and offerings.

576

And during the millennial kingdom

dispensation it, it seems that God is

577

reinstituting the temple as the means

by which that is gonna take place with

578

Jesus being present as the one that is

gonna be so clearly the fulfillment of

579

all the things that they're doing there.

580

This is interesting.

581

Okay.

582

Is there a difference?

583

And you seem to suggest it, so I'm

gonna see if I can tease it out a bit.

584

Right now the spirit of God.

585

Yes.

586

Third member of the Trinity

dwells in or with us.

587

Yes.

588

He's regenerated us.

589

He's made us brand new.

590

We were born again.

591

Does that relationship

with the spirit change?

592

When we're translated into glory with God.

593

So when we're resurrected and we're now

taken to rule and reign with Christ,

594

does the Spirit no longer reside in and

with us as he does now because we're

595

glorified and no longer, and I'm using air

quotes here, need him there or does it?

596

In some way amplify and

become bigger and larger.

597

How does that work?

598

Or do you have a thought about that?

599

It's interesting because when Jesus is

talking about what the Spirit is there

600

to do in John 14, it seems like a lot of

that has to do with our earthly existence,

601

with our existence in un glorified

bodies, with our need for his conviction

602

and teaching and leading and recalling

the things that Christ has taught us.

603

The ministry of the Spirit in

the lives of Christians, even the

604

sealing ministry of the Spirit In

Ephesians chapter one, we're sealed.

605

For, until we acquire the inheritance

that is ours, that's coming, even as

606

Peter talks about, that, that future

inheritance, that's gonna be ours as well.

607

And so once we're there, we don't

need to be sealed anymore with the

608

Holy Spirit to be kept in that place.

609

And so I.

610

Can I say the Holy Spirit no

longer dwells us in eternity?

611

I don't know that I can go that

far, but I think when we look at the

612

ministries of the spirit, primarily

speaking, I think they're dealing

613

with us in our un glorified state

and not in our glorified state.

614

That's fascinating.

615

So Jesus says, I'll

give you another helper.

616

He'll be with you forever.

617

There's, we're not saying that you

couldn't have some kind of vital

618

relationship with the Spirit, but maybe.

619

Maybe it changes right in heaven

because you're glorified and things are

620

different and different dispensation.

621

Those are interesting questions.

622

Yeah, they're, I'm glad we definitively

answered them for everybody.

623

Good job.

624

That's been the theme of

these last three episodes.

625

We've given so many definitive answers.

626

Nailed it.

627

Yeah.

628

Let's pray.

629

God we pray that this would come quickly.

630

We are ready to be with you.

631

We're ready to be in your presence.

632

And yet I pray that I know there's a

lot of us thinking, and yet we want this

633

person to be saved and this person to

be saved and this person to be saved.

634

And we do.

635

And those are not desires that are

incompatible with each other, so we pray.

636

God that you would save our lost

loved ones and our family members and

637

those that are in our lives that have

not bowed the need to Christ yet.

638

And yet at the same time, we also

pray and hasten your arrival, Lord.

639

'cause we want to be with you.

640

We want some of these questions answered.

641

We want to be in your presence.

642

We want to know.

643

What it is to be free, not only

from the penalty of sin and the

644

power of sin, but also ultimately

from its presence to be with you.

645

And God we pray and ask ha in that day

'cause we can't wait to be with you.

646

We pray this in Jesus' name.

647

Amen.
