1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: Life Audio The Bible Study Podcast, Episode nine fifty seven. Today, 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: The Bible Study Podcast continues the study of the Book 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: of Luke as we carry on with chapter twenty one. 4 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bible Study Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. 5 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: We're going to continue on with chapter twenty one, has 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: to do with the Temple. But first a word from 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: this sponsor. Chapter twenty one, the entire chapter takes place 8 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: in the Temple in Jerusalem on what we call Holy Week, 9 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: that time between Palm Sunday and Good Friday. And the 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: first one is a fairly small section as the Widow's offering. 11 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their 12 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: widow put in two very small copper coins. I tell you, 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: he said, this poor widow has put in more than 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: all the others. All these people gave their gifts out 16 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put 17 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: in all she had to live on. And so Jesus 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: when he's talking about here, what is a good offering 19 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: or what is a generous offering, he points out that 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: it's not the amount. He's really pointing out that this 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: woman was more generous than all these rich people. Now, 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: one of the things you need to understand is the 23 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: way this system works is there are these these offering containers, 24 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and my understanding is they have connected to them almost 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: a metal flute sort of thing, so that when you 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: throw in coins, you can hear the coins hit. And 27 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: the bigger the coin, the more expensive the coin, the 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: bigger the sound. And so in the temple, this woman's 29 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: offering is going to raise very little attention because it's 30 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: going to be just two small sounds, where if a 31 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: rich man puts in a bag of gold coins, for instance, 32 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: then it's going to make a big sound and people 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: are going to turn their heads and they're going to 34 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: see him, which is one of the reasons why people 35 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: are giving is to be seen. This woman is not 36 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: giving to be seen as a generous person. She's giving 37 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: because of her love of God and her love of 38 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: the temple, and so Jesus calls her out as exemplary 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: because of that. And speaking of the temple, we continue 40 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: on the destruction of the temple and sign of the 41 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: end times. Some of his disciples remarking about how the 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated 43 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: to God. But Jesus said, as for what you see here, 44 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: the time will come when not one stone will be 45 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: left on another. Every one of them will be torn down. Teacher, 46 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: they ask, when will these things happen? And what will 47 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: be the sign that they are about to take place? 48 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: He replied, watch out that you are not deceived, for 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: many will come in my name claiming I am he, 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: and the time is near. Do not follow them. When 51 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. 52 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: These things must happen first, but the end will not 53 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: come right away. Then he said to them nation will 54 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. They'll be great earthquakes, famines, 55 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: and pestilences in various places, and fearful events, and great 56 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: signs from heaven. Before all this, they will seize you 57 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues 58 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: and put you in prison. And you will be brought 59 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: before kings and governors, all on account of my name. 60 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: And so you will bear testimony to me. But make 61 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will 62 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: defend yourselves, for I will give you words and wisdom 63 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: that none of your adversaries will be able to resist 64 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers 65 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some 66 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me, 67 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: but not a hair on your head will perish. Stand firm, 68 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: and you will win life. When you see Jerusalem being 69 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 70 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, 71 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: let those in the city get out, and let those 72 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: in the country not enter the city. For this is 73 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: the time a punishment in fulfillment of all that has 74 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: been written. How dreadful it will be in those days 75 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: for a pregnant woman and nursing mothers. There will be 76 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 77 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: They will fall by the sword and will be taken 78 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled 79 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: on by the gentiles until the time of the gentiles 80 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: are fulfilled. There will be signs in the sun, moon 81 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: and stars on the earth. Nations will be in anguish 82 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 83 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 85 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: At that time they will see the Son of Man 86 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When 87 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: these things begin to take place, stand up and lift 88 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. He 89 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: told them this parable Look at the fig tree and 90 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see 91 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, 92 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: when you see these things happening, you will know the 93 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: Kingdom of God is near. Truely, I tell you this 94 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: generation will certainly not pass away until these things have happened. 95 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will 96 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: never pass away. Be careful, or your hearts will be 97 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. 98 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: And that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 99 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: For it will come on all those who live on 100 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: the face of the whole earth. Be always on the 101 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: watch and pray that you may escape all that is 102 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: about to happen, and that you may be able to 103 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: stand before the Son of Man. Each day that Jesus 104 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: was teaching the temple, and each evening he went out 105 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: to spend the night on the hill called the Mount 106 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: of Olives, and all the people came early in the 107 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: morning to hear him at the temple. So Jesus is 108 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: talking about the temple, and somebody happens to say, hey, 109 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: this is a pretty cool place. Look how beautiful it is. 110 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: And he says, it's all going to be destroyed. And 111 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: then he that's the easy part, that's the clear part, right, 112 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: Not one stone will be left on one another. And 113 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,119 Speaker 1: we know when that happened, because that is in our past, 114 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: that it would happen long before you and I were born. 115 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: In roughly seventy eighty, the people of Israel, the people 116 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: of Judah, rebelled against the Romans, and the Romans came 117 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: and they destroyed the city, and they destroyed the temple. 118 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: That is a for us, a historic fact. Now, as 119 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: Jesus is describing what's happening, it gets a little complicated 120 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: because it seems at times that he is describing seventy 121 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: a d and it seems at times he is describing 122 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: his coming again, which we know did not happen in 123 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: seventy eight. And so it is a little hard to 124 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: peace out here. As Jesus is looking forward, he's definitely 125 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: talking about one or both of those events. And so 126 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: they say, when are these things going to happen? And 127 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: he does not give them any clear answer, right, And 128 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: he's saying, in fact, that a lot of people will 129 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: try and give you a clear answer and that they're lying. 130 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: A lot of people will say they're Jesus, They've come back. 131 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: And this happens from time to time. If you watch 132 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: the news, I would say every third year or so, 133 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: there is some group that is convinced that days such 134 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: and such is going to be the end of the world, 135 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: and they've got a prophet who has proclaimed this, and 136 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: they stand on a hillside and sell all their stuff, 137 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: and that day comes and goes and they're still here. 138 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Most of those groups then disband at that time. Probably 139 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: one of the only ones I know that didn't would 140 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: be Jovah's witnesses that then said, well, Jesus did come back, 141 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: but he came back in a different way. And they're 142 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: one of the only groups I know that went through 143 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,559 Speaker 1: one of those our prophet says that Jesus is coming 144 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: back this day and survived it. Most of the groups 145 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: will break up obviously after it's clear that what they 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: prophesied was false. So but he says, all sorts of 147 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: stuff is going to happen. Nations rise against nations, kingdoms 148 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: against kingdoms, great earthquakes, famines, pestulens in various places, blah 149 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: blah blah. There's all sorts of things are going to 150 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: happen that aren't necessarily a sign of Jesus coming again. 151 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,359 Speaker 1: And all of those things, when they've happened many times 152 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: in the history, people have said, with that war that happened, 153 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: World War one or World War II, or with that 154 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: plague that happened, like the Great Plague, the Black Death, 155 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, it must be a sign of the end times. 156 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of times that people have 157 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: interpreted things that happen as the end times. And Jesus 158 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: says a lot of things are going to happen. And 159 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: then he says very clearly that there is going to 160 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: be persecution on the church. And when I say the church, 161 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: the church hasn't really started yet, it won't start until 162 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: after Jesus resurrection. But on the followers of Jesus are 163 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: going to be persecuted and betrayed and some will even 164 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: die but not have a hair in their head perish. Okay, 165 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: well that's an interesting question. How can you die but 166 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: not have a hair in your head? Perish? And I 167 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: think that that is saying that, you know, don't fear 168 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: those who can only kill the body right, that God 169 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: will preserve life even if we lose it. So that part, 170 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: I think is all relatively clear. And there is there 171 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: have been times of persecution in the Church. Obviously, the 172 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: first one starts in the Bible. It talks about it 173 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: in the Book of Acts. And at least one of 174 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: his listeners here will die in that persecution, and that 175 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: is James, one of the twelve Apostles. And then quite 176 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: a few will die when Rome persecutes the Christians, including 177 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: all of the others except for John who lives to 178 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: an old age. So that part again is fairly clear. 179 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: But then he talks about when you see Jerusalem surrounded 180 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: by armies and you know it's desolations near get out, flee, 181 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: it's going to be a terrible time. And this sounds 182 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: like he's talking about the fall of Jerusalem in seventy eight. 183 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: It's completely consistent with that. It is possible that there 184 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: is another fall of Jerusalem sometime in the future. I 185 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: cannot tell you that because this next part here there'll 186 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: be signs and sun and the moon and stars and nations. 187 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: Will they be in anguish from perplexity and all of 188 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: these things I don't recognize as something that has happened. 189 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: So I feel like it now we're looking forward. But 190 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: he says, look at the fig trees when they sprout leaves, 191 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: you can see for yourselves and know the summer is near. 192 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: Is basically saying there will be signs, okay, but on 193 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: the other hand, don't trust the signs. So it's a 194 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: little confusing here. But then says this generation will certainly 195 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: not pass away until these things have happened. Well, if 196 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: these things are the fall of Jerusalem, that is true, 197 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: and we will see that. So I think that's what 198 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: he's talking about there, But it's a little complicated in 199 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: terms of how large a period of history he's looking 200 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: at here. But then the part again, another part that 201 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: is very clear, is what should we do right? What 202 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: should we do we live now before Jesus has come again? 203 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: How should we live? Be careful or your heart's will 204 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: be weighed down with carousing drunkenness and the anxieties of life, 205 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 206 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: So we are not supposed to live in either eat, 207 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: drink and be merry for tomorrow we will die, or 208 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: in these anxieties in the minutia of life that can 209 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: weigh us down. And I hope with a lot of 210 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: you that it's more that second one, that anxieties of life. 211 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: I don't hope that you have anxieties of life, but 212 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: I hope you're not being weighed down with carousing and drunkenness. 213 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: And I certainly know that a lot of us who 214 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: are alive are weighed down by can I make the 215 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: paycheck stretch? Can we get into the right college for 216 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: the kids, Can we get that raise at work? Can 217 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: we get the bigger house? Get all of these things 218 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: that are relative to living our life. Then he's saying, 219 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: don't be weighed down by them. I think that's one 220 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: of those things where we're encouraged to live in this 221 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: world but not be part of it, To somehow keep 222 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: one eye on the fact that this is all going 223 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: to pass away. Doesn't mean you don't get the rays 224 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: at work. It doesn't mean you don't send your kids 225 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: to college. It doesn't mean you don't you work two 226 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: jobs if you need to to pay the grocery bill. 227 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: But there is still an understanding that all of this 228 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: is temporary and to live in that temporariness and to 229 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: understand what is important. And then it just says each 230 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: day he Jesus was teaching in the temple and the 231 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: people were coming to him. This is how he's spending 232 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: this week, this Holy week. And we'll see more about 233 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: that as we go forward. But with that, we're going 234 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: to end this episode of the Bible Study Podcast.
