00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: part of what we do, and we've been doing this

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: for a decade and it is a Bible study that

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: involves men inside the room studying the Holy Word of

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,879

00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: that we're doing now, like in the Book of Job

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: and it gives you an option if you want to

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: watch it or you would like to listen to it,

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: I will let you know the videos only go about

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: eight years back so and then they start dropping off

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the audio that it stays there forever, so so just fy.

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: If there's everyone you're looking for on video and you

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: can't find it, try the audio option. So some things

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: you need to know about before we get started today

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: is that the Manchurch dot Com is a men's discipleship strategy.

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: It's been around for a long time. We put together

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Themanchurch dot Com in twenty twenty, so we're about to

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: finish year five and then jump into your six. We

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: have six forty week curriculum for men for small groups.

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: We have speakers that go out and do events. That's

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the high challenge part of our strategy. The curriculum is

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: of course the high equipping the discipleship part of our strategy.

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: So we're turnkey. I mean, we can help you establish

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: a powerful, sustainable strategy to reach and disciple the many

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of your church and your community. If you need our help,

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: we'd love to help you. We also do we do conferences.

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: We have two coming up in twenty twenty six. One

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: in Birmingham one in Startwelle, Mississippi, the last two weekends

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: of January twenty twenty six. I urge you to go

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: get those tickets if your group wants to come. They

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: are also incredible gift ideas. Think about giving a gift

47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: that could radically change someone's life. I don't think a

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: pair of socks can make that claim. They're nice, but

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean radically changing your life. Probably not. So if

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: you'd like to get those tickets, you can. Early access

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: is sold out in Birmingham and it's all but sold

52
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: out in start Well based on some orders I just

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: saw come through. But you might be able to grab

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: some early access to start Well if you want to,

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: if not, generate mission to both. They are available, but

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: they are going quickly find that at the manchurch dot com.

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: So let's open up a word of prayer and we'll

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: be in the Book of Job. We're getting toward the

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: end today is a highly anticipated study because we're going

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to be in Job chapter thirty eight and this is

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: going to be God himself. So it's a biggie. So

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: let's open up in a word of prayer. Lord, bless

63
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: our time and your word, may we hear as directly

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: from you today today as Job did when this actually

65
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: took place, and Your Holy name, we pray Amen. Well

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: that's where we are, aren't we. So I want to

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: just throw this out, but to get us started. You know,

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I read this devotional just about every year because it

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: just never fails to minister to me. And we have

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: devotions that we've done. I've written some, and I'm certainly

71
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: thankful I got the opportunity to do that, and God

72
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: use me with that. But I also know my place.

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: I still believe the best daily devotional, yearly devotional that's

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: every day of the year that I personally have ever

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: read is my Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers.

76
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: It just it is as Holy Spirit inspired a piece

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: of work as I've ever read, and it will challenge

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: you and it does have some depth to it. So

79
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: I was reading getting ready, you know, as we've been

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: going through the Book of Job, and what God is

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: trying to teach Job about suffering and is trying to

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: correct this false theology they had that God blesses the

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: righteous and he punishes the wicked. And God is making

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: sure that we find out for sure not so fast,

85
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: that that's actually not good theology. And this hit me

86
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: from Oswald Chambers. It was back on November the first.

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: But listen to this when Oswald Chambers says on November first,

88
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: in his it was actually his wife put these together.

89
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: These are sermon notes from his sermon. If God can

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: accomplish his purpose, says in this world through a broken heart,

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: then why not thank him for breaking yours. So that

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: just really hit me while we were studying, you know,

93
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: job and job, trying to figure out what's the purpose

94
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: of all this suffering. Maybe you've been there, maybe you've

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: had these same questions. A lot of you in here

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: might even remember this, because we've got some guys in

97
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: here that have got a little age on them with

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of gray hair here. Does anybody remember

99
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty The next Voice You Hear? In nineteen

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: fifty it was this movie that came out and this

101
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: became a very popular phrase. And in the movie, God

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: is going to speak to the radio to the world.

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: And so you're in this movie, you're writing, listening to

104
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the radio, and also you hear the next voice you

105
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: hear will be God. And then in the movie God

106
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: begins to speak through the radio, to the world in

107
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: some movie in nineteen fifty the next voice you hear well,

108
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 1: Job has uttered words that darkened the light of God's

109
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: truth because he has said some things in his agony

110
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: that are not true about God. We've had his friends

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: say things about God that are not true. And studying

112
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: chapter thirty eight, it has no ground and no legs.

113
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: But there was some commentary that thought that God's first

114
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: words might have been directed at Eliho, not at Job.

115
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: What is this person? What ignorance is this person talking about?

116
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't stand up because when we get to chapter

117
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: forty two, Job actually says, this is what you said

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: about me? So Job acknowledges that God was talking to him.

119
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: So that kind of kills the whole. The beginning of

120
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: it might be directed at Elihu, and the Bible says

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: it was that he answered Job. All of it is

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: directed at Job, so that one doesn't really hold up

123
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: when Job finally confirms it for us in forty two.

124
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: So the Lord is going to subject Job to some

125
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: penetrating questions. Job has asked for audience with God and

126
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: he's getting it today, as will we. God's going to

127
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: talk to him, and where we're going to be today

128
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: four through thirty eight. Of chapter thirty eight, you're going

129
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: to hear God's wisdom displayed in the created universe. So

130
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: we'll get that as we move on into thirty nine.

131
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: God's going to use his care in creation of the

132
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: animal Kingdom as part of his resume, and by the

133
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: time we get to forty and forty one, He's going

134
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: to actually show job that I've actually restrained a lot

135
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: of evil, you know, and I don't think I think

136
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: sometimes we forget that, you know, when you think about

137
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: something that didn't happen for you, are we sometimes we

138
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: think of a life that was shortened by our standards,

139
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: And I wonder what we would say if, in our ignorance,

140
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: God came to us and said, would you like for

141
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: me to show you what I kept that person from experiencing?

142
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: Would you like to see how much grace and mercy

143
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: I have actually been showing. So we'll get to that too,

144
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: toward the end of God's resume I've always enjoyed, and

145
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: we'll get there. And I won't spend much time on

146
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: that today because now we're gonna talk about today. We

147
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: have a lot to cover, is uh. I do love

148
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: that job does try to say I got it before

149
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: God finishes, and God tells him that no, you're gonna

150
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: hear it all. So, so, hey, my bad. I shouldn't

151
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: have said what I said. And you'll see that it's

152
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a very interesting part when Job finally speaks, but he's

153
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: about to just sit and be quiet right now for

154
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: quite a while. So so Job, here's what God is

155
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: saying as we get started. Job, you claim that you

156
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: want to trial with me. Let's see, Let's see examine you.

157
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: This is what God is saying. Let's examine you, Job Rick.

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: Put your name here, and I want to see if

159
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you, you are competent enough to

160
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: stand trial. Let's see if you can answer some simple

161
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: questions and let me see if I think you're even

162
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: worthy of me taking the time to explain myself to you.

163
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to compare you to me. And uh

164
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: so uh here is his first introductory challenge in thirty eight,

165
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: first couple of verses. Then the Lord answered Job, out

166
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: of the whirlwind, out of the whirlwind, from from the storm.

167
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: And remember the Hebrew word here that God is making

168
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: sure it's documented for us. It's it's not some genetic

169
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: it's some you know, genetic term for God. It's Yahweh, Lord,

170
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: the Lord from the storm. The Lord Yahweh speaks, and

171
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: the first question is gonna kind of chasen uh and

172
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: mortify Job a little bit. Then there's gonna be a

173
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: challenge that I just tell you the world, you're not

174
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna believe what God has the audacity to to say.

175
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: For those of you out there that think that you

176
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: know better than God and you'd like to be God's

177
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: pr agent, he makes you pretty clear he's not looking

178
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: for one. So but he's going to actually challenge Job

179
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: to be manly. He's telling a man to be manly.

180
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: So we've got that coming up. How counter culture is

181
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: that today? And then he's gonna ask him to take

182
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: an examination of the creation and administration of the universe,

183
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: and it's many untamed creatures. Then the Lord Yahweh answered

184
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Job out of the whirlwind. He speaks not to his friends,

185
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: He's speaks to Job from a storm. The Hebrew word

186
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: here is a mighty wind. Now, don't I mean we're

187
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: just barely in and we got a lot that's really deep. Okay,

188
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: anybody would like to know where this word also appeared

189
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: the storm that killed Job's children. It's exact same Hebrew word.

190
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: So what you have here is the Hebrew word, this

191
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: mighty win. If you go back to the death of

192
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: Job's children, you'll see that storm. The word we're used

193
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: for storm. The Hebrew word is the same word. So

194
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: from this same type storm that killed his children. God

195
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: has decided this is how he'll speak to him. You

196
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: think that's just random. No, everything God does is for

197
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: a reason. Nobody teaches like the Lord. We may not

198
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: like what he's teaching. No one teaches like the Lord.

199
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: Then look what he says next to Job. Who is

200
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now we've

201
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: already learned in the last couple of chapters the word

202
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: darkened here it means ignorance? Who who? Who has said

203
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: these ignorant things? Of course we all know that you

204
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: know you would you would? You can you see yourself

205
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: standing there like kind of getting your hand about halfway up.

206
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: But that's me, Uh, that that's me. Your words lack knowledge.

207
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: So God establishes we're not even in. He said, I'm

208
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: going to show you that I'm in the storm. I'm

209
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: going to speak to you out of a storm, I'm

210
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: going to write, I'm already killing this theology by what

211
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: I've decided to speak from. Well, God's not in that storm,

212
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, He says, Oh, yes, I am, I absolutely am.

213
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: And then he says, the things that you've said, you

214
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: have said out of ignorance. Now do you realize how

215
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: quick he already has job in his place? How many

216
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: things he's already said to job in two verses, but

217
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: he's not done. So then in three and here it

218
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: is dress for action like a man. I will question

219
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: you and you make it known to me. The first

220
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: line here this dress for action. Does anybody, if you've

221
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: studied the word of God a lot, you heard gird

222
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: your loins? Okay, that's really what this word is. I

223
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: mean his phrase is gird your loins like a man,

224
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: meaning gather your flowing garment, tuck it in your belt

225
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: and order. Why did they do this? To go to work,

226
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: to go to war? They did this? What so this

227
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: flowing garment would not be cumbersome to whatever they had

228
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: to do. Isn't it interesting that the great I Am,

229
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: the one and only living God yahweh says to this

230
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: human man. The conversation we're about to have. I'd get

231
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: myself ready for a battle. I'd get myself ready to

232
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: go to work. Gird your loins. And he actually says

233
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: to a male, act like a man. Don't realize that

234
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: if you say that now, the world just loses their mind.

235
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: And you know what God is saying here too. I'm

236
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: not speaking to a woman. Men and women are equal,

237
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: but they're beautifully distinct. And I don't want to speak

238
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: to you like I would a woman. I'm going to

239
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: speak to you like a man, So I would advise

240
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: you to get ready to act like one, be manly.

241
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: That's what this is going to require. That's pretty important

242
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: not to miss that none of this is random, and

243
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: we need to stop apologizing for things that God never

244
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: asked us to apologize about. That's the reason why we

245
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: at the Manchurch dot Com at times are deemed really unpopular,

246
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: because we have the audacity to actually speak the truth

247
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: and say, you cannot reach and disciple men, you cannot

248
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: get what God's calling men to. If you contended to

249
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: continue to use a strategy or an approach that would

250
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: be more appropriate for women and children, it doesn't work,

251
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: and we and will act like it. You know. I

252
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: had someone say to me talking about the headship and

253
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: where what I thought God meant by that? And I said, what,

254
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean inequality. He's talking about order. There's there's

255
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: a headship. And the person said to me, so you're

256
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: telling me a man won't follow a woman. I said no,

257
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: I said, he'll appease a woman, but he won't follow her.

258
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes you misconstrue men appeasing women as men following women.

259
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: They are not. They're just appeasing them. And because because

260
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: they're not designed to my wife, who is one of

261
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: the most powerful women that I have ever known. I mean,

262
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: there are people right now doing work at our house

263
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: that are terrified of her. Okay, and uh, and they're

264
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: hoping I'll come home soon. You know what I mean.

265
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: But but but but what but what I'm saying, that's

266
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: not even exaggeration. But what I'm saying is my wife

267
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: said this, who is not some wallflower? Okay. She said

268
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: she saw it in the males of the family. She said,

269
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: I noticed in the male children that they heard my

270
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: voice loud and clear until puberty, she said. A puberty,

271
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: I noticed that I would say something and they weren't

272
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: disrespecting me. It's like they just didn't hear it. They

273
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't respond to me. You would say it, and they

274
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: would immediately turn around and respond. She said, that's when

275
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: I knew that's where it is. That's where that transition

276
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,479
Speaker 1: of a male goes from being attached to the maternal

277
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: of his mother and then he leaves to the authority

278
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: of his dad. And when we take that out of

279
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: the homes, that causes so much confusion. Because that's not

280
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: to discredit the work of incredible mothers. It is just

281
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: saying that they have a deficit when that headship isn't there,

282
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: especially dealing with males. How many have you ever seen

283
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: in a family where they were sorry men that the

284
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: women seem to do okay, but all the boys just

285
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: said terrible. It's like women find a way to overcome

286
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: it because they can find it in a husband or

287
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: they can find it. But but if boys don't have it,

288
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: it's like they just squat. They just seem to flounder

289
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: because a wife doesn't replace that. A husband can for

290
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: a woman, but a wife can't replace that for a man,

291
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: and they kind of flounder around. And not that it

292
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: can't be overcome, but it is something to overcome. So

293
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: so here he's saying, this conversation is between a male,

294
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: So I want you to die like one, and I

295
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: would gird my loins. And I'm going to ask you

296
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: if you think you can answer these things for me.

297
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: So there it is. God already is being counterculture, and

298
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: he's really upset a lot of people. And how would

299
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: you like to hear that you have been whining and

300
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: complaining about God and you've been questioning God? Can you imagine?

301
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: I want you to put yourself there now? Can you

302
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: imagine the great I am saying, Rick, I think I'll

303
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: question you now. I can't even I mean scare me.

304
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean I just got chills thinking about it. I mean,

305
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: he's not the big man upstairs. How many times have

306
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: we talked about this. He's the beginning in the end.

307
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: And why do we call him the big man upstairs?

308
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: So that we can fear him less and make him

309
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: easier to sin against. That's why we come up with

310
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: these garbage analogies of the one and only living God,

311
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: so we it makes us feel less guilty about sinning.

312
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: We're less terrified of our sin. If I just kind

313
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: of didn't act right for the big man upstairs this

314
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: week as opposed to I blasphemed Holy, Holy, Holy, the

315
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: beginning in the end. And by the way, you will

316
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: not see a version of God here. I've been working

317
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: through this. There's a version of God that's getting presented

318
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times in the Western Church. I don't

319
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: see him on his own resume. It's a God that's

320
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: unrecognizable in this resume. You know, we sometimes we'll say

321
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: things about God that make us feel more comfortable, but

322
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: they can't really be supported biblically. And so let's let's

323
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: hear from God. So the first question he's gonna throw

324
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: out at job, and God gets there pretty quick. He

325
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: starts with the very basic I just I just want

326
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: you to think about it. I looked at some of

327
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: the commentaries on people trying to just in. It's all

328
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: theories what the voice of God would sound like. I mean,

329
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: I know that you know that that when when he

330
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: when he spoke about his son in front of everybody

331
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: in the Gospel of John, they thought it was a storm.

332
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Remember that, And Jesus said, he said that for y'all's benefit,

333
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: because I didn't need to hear it. You know, since

334
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: I am God, I am his son. Some people are

335
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: thinking it could be musical, it could be impressive, and

336
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I love this was probably my favorite shot at it

337
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: with the limitations of language. Wonderfully scary. I like that one.

338
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: Wonderfully scary. It's like it's comforting, well at the same time,

339
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: it's terrified you. And so he starts out with verse four,

340
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

341
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: Tell me if you have understanding. So Joe did not

342
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: exist when he laid down the foundation of the earth.

343
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: No one did. Adam and Eve didn't exist. So this

344
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: first question was impossible to answer since I wasn't around

345
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: when this happened, which is God's point. I have always

346
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: been remember that, you know, I was before anything, and

347
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: I don't think you were, Job. I think we can

348
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: document the day you were born. You'll never find when

349
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: I was born because I've always been does is everybody's mind? Okay,

350
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: I have always been I'm the beginning of everything. Well,

351
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: everything must have a beginning, that's right, that's me and Job.

352
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't recall you being there when I laid down

353
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: the foundation of the earth. So then he goes into five,

354
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: who determine who determined its measurements? Surely you know job,

355
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you've really been rattling on. Are who stretched

356
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: the line upon it? Now, if you have your Bible

357
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah forty forty two Isaiah forty forty two kind of

358
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: gives us this indication about God. You'll see that a

359
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff inspired by the prophets is from God,

360
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: because you you hear things like this Isaiah forty uh.

361
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: And then getting into twelve, look at this who has

362
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: measured the waters and the hollow of his hand, and

363
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: marked off the heavens with a span, and closed the

364
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the

365
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: mountains and scales and the hills and a balance. I

366
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: think Isaiah probably did hear from God, since God said,

367
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm gonna say about myself. And and

368
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: he said, the Lord God did this, and I did

369
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: this on my own. I didn't need your help. Six

370
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: are are what were it's it's bases and and and

371
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: what were its bases sunk? Or or who laid its cornerstone? Now?

372
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: These are these are things about a builder, a master builder.

373
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: Footings in cornerstone. Some of y'all do this for a living.

374
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: You you're you're familiar with these terms. Uh, it's these

375
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: are the most fundamental and essential parts of a building. Uh.

376
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: It's an analogy of you know, like I'm master builder.

377
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: You might have you know, built an impressive uh you

378
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: know shed, or you might have built a building of

379
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: some kind. Oh, by the way, if you want to know,

380
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: comparing you as a builder to me, I built the earth. Okay,

381
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: I built the universe, So your your building is impressive.

382
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know that. As a master builder, I

383
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: take pointers from you, since I built the earth and

384
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: laid the foundation of it all so so, God says,

385
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not done. That's not all I did. When

386
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: when the morning stars sang together and all the sons

387
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: of God shouted for joy? Now, now, job, were you

388
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: there when I was hanging the planets? Uh? When I

389
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: arranged the morning stars of word? Also for Venus? You

390
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: know when when I arranged these planets. Oh, by the way,

391
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: when all my angels, do you have any angels? Job

392
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: you got, I've got I've got angels singing as i'm

393
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: as I'm hanging this and I'm creating that. Job. I

394
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: don't recall seeing you there, says there were no humans yet,

395
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: it was just me and my angels. I don't remember

396
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: you being in the audience. Of course, at this point,

397
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: Job's already done. But then he says, I want to

398
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: talk to you about the sea a little bit. This

399
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: is the next time. Here's another thing I did the sea.

400
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: You're familiar with the sea, aren't you. Job. Let me

401
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: ask you this, are who shut in the sea with

402
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: doors when it burst out of the womb? How many

403
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: of you like to go to the beach? Okay, I

404
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: don't like to be out there in the middle of

405
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: the day, but I likes going to be I'd rather

406
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: go in the fall. But anyway, so you've seen that

407
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: that there seems to be some boundaries that have been

408
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: set up for all this water. And so God said,

409
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: by the way, that was me. See, when it first happened,

410
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: the sea would have overwhelmed everything. It would have overwhelmed,

411
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: and at one time it did. So what I did

412
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: is I took the sea, and I started laying out

413
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: some boundaries for it. And as it was bursting forth,

414
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: as I was creating it, I held it and I

415
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: controlled it as it was bursting from my creation. So

416
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: my power was so strong it just burst upon creation.

417
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: And I was able not only to cause it to

418
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: burst upon creation, I was able to grab it and

419
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: control it. Can you do that, Joe? And then he continues,

420
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness, its

421
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: swaddling band. The sea's like a newborn child conceived behind doors.

422
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: Its power is like the baby clothed in clouds. But

423
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: you know what, to you, the sea would be overwhelming

424
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: and destructive. To me, I can hold it just like

425
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: a little baby. I can swallow it in the clouds

426
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: because you know why, Job, Because as impressive as the

427
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: sea he may be, my hand is a hand of

428
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: dominion over all of creation. How about yours? Job? I

429
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: have you ever wondered what's everybody doing right now? I mean,

430
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: because he's focusing on job, I think if I'm the

431
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: other friends, I'm wondering off. Are y'all trying to slip off?

432
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, this is Joe's problem, it ain't my problem,

433
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: and I don't. But we know that they're there because

434
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: they do get addressed at one point. So then God

435
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: goes on and he says intend and prescribed limits for it,

436
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: and set bars and doors I saw the sea, job

437
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: I clothed it with clouds. I held it like a baby.

438
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I controlled it with my hand of dominions. And then

439
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: I set its boundaries. I set its limits. I determined

440
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: what it could and couldn't do. Now, why is this

441
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: also important? You're going, well, he's just impressing Joe with

442
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: his creation. Yes, but what else? If I want it

443
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: to be destructive, it'll be destructive too. If I want

444
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: it to be calm, it'll be calm. So when it's

445
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: destructive and it's calm, that's me. So he's taking that

446
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: theology and he's chipping it away. That the health, wealth,

447
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: and prosperity gospel has died so many times, how it

448
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: is still alive. I guess the only reason why it's

449
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: still alive is because Satan is still is not put

450
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: up for good yet. Eleven, that's an email coming today

451
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: and said, thus far shall you come, and no farther?

452
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: And here shall your proud waves be stayed? Interesting here

453
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: God begins to quote himself. If I want to quote something,

454
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: right now, if I got to quote myself, let me

455
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: tell you what I say. This is what I say

456
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: to the sea. I tell it where to stay I

457
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: set up the beach, I set up the shore. I

458
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: look at this raging water and say, and that's enough,

459
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: stop right there, and it does. Can you do that job?

460
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Any of y'all ever got been able to make a

461
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: wave stop? Have you ever gone down to the beach

462
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: and said, oh, it's kind of rough to die. I

463
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: wish it was calm? Or are you able to comment?

464
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I've had no luck with that. I prayed that maybe

465
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: you'd be calm the next day to the source that

466
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: could comment. But have you ever gone down there and go, wow,

467
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: this is really kind of rough, this is kind of scary.

468
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: I wish it would lay down. Well, God says, if

469
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to lay down, I can, And if I

470
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: don't want it to go any further than that beach

471
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: right there, it won't. I control. I told it what

472
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: to do. And people don't just listen. Animals don't just listen.

473
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Creation listens to me. Wow, Wow, have you commanded the

474
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: morning since your days began? And caused the dawn? The

475
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: dawn to know its place? Now he's going to talk

476
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: about the Earth's administration? You ever say that. I've always

477
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: been like this, And even in our Sunday school class,

478
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: as a lot of you know that are in Sunsoo class.

479
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm a teacher, but Sherry is the administrator. I've had

480
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: people tell me before, we don't have a problem with

481
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: you teaching, which I'm thankful that's nice, but we really

482
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: rather you not administrate. It's not my gift. But can

483
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: you imagine that you are the administrator of the earth

484
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: in the universe, I administrate all this. And he said, job,

485
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: do you do you tell the sun when to come up?

486
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Do you tell dawn this is this is where you belong?

487
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: And Job, of course, was like, no, I don't command

488
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: the sun to do anything. I don't command it to

489
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: rise that it might take hold of the skirts of

490
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: the earth and the wicked be shaken out of an

491
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: interesting comment here, light, he says, remember, causes the wicked

492
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: to scurry to find shelter from the light. But how

493
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: would you like job to be? Like me? If I

494
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: want wicked to scurry, I want to see the cockroaches

495
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 1: run around, I just declare there's light, and there it is.

496
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: I can illuminate wickedness. Can you do that? Can you

497
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: bring light on top of the When people say I

498
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: wish it would stay dark, I decide whether it does

499
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: or not. We wish that God would change us to daylight,

500
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: savings time and just leave it. He could, Apparently our

501
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: government can't. I'm digging sunset at four forty five, how

502
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: about y'all? So anyway, we're too far east for this,

503
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: he says. Now, when he's talking about the skirts of

504
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: the earth, he's talking about as you look out over

505
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: horizon and a sunrise. Last week we talked about that

506
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot, about how you never get tired of seeing it,

507
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: he says. You know, when it looks like that the

508
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: sun's going up and there's a skirt on the horizon

509
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: of clouds or colors, that's me. I do all that.

510
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: I lay all that out, and the wicked are scurrying

511
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: because I'm bringing a new day. I'm bringing it all

512
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: to light. Fourteen. It is changed like clay under the seal,

513
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: and its features stand out like garment. See light causes

514
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: also what for us to see the colors and the

515
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: shapes of the earth. When I bring this light, I

516
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: illumine that you can see my creation. When it's dark,

517
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: you can't tell where the clay is, you can't tell

518
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: what the terrain looks. Light the topography. You can't see

519
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 1: any of that, he said. But when I bring that

520
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: light every day, you see what I've done. You can

521
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: see the artistry of everything that I've created. True right.

522
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: And then he gets into fifteen from the Wicked. Their

523
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: light is withheld and their uplifted arm is broken. Now

524
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: what does this mean, Well, he's back to the wicked.

525
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: He went back to them again, and he says, the

526
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: wicked will be incarcerated by the light. The Light's going

527
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: to incarcerate the wicked, and I will then plunge them

528
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: into darkness or I will put them to death. This

529
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: upraised arm, this was always a symbol, like a clenched fist.

530
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: It's like an as symbol of arrogance, of defiance. You know,

531
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: I raised my hand against God. I will not do

532
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: what he says. This he's saying, when the wicked give

533
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: me this arm of defiance, I just break it. They

534
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: won't stand against me. It looks like you've had kind

535
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: of a hard time with the wicked. Job they can't

536
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: stand against me. So again he's giving his resume, and

537
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: one of the things that he includes is the wicked

538
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: are going to be broken by me. Then he goes

539
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: into the underworld in sixteen through eighteen? Have you entered

540
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Job into the springs of the sea? Are walked in

541
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: the recesses of the deep? Now keep in mind, at

542
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: the time that Job is hearing this, we've never had

543
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: a submarine that can go down in these areas. Now

544
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: we saw all these weird animals, and at this time

545
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: he's asking Job, now, can you go beyond what you

546
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: can see? Can can you go get into see and

547
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: go any further than what oxygen you would have? Have

548
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: you gone into the recesses of the deep? Have you

549
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: gone down beyond that? Have you left what you can see?

550
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Are you pretty much limited to this? Because believe it

551
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: or not, there's other realms and other things that I

552
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: can see. I go there as easy as I've come here.

553
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: Can you do that? Joe? And of course we know

554
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: the answer to that. Can you? I guess you could

555
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: take this question and kind of simplified and say, can

556
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: you see beyond what you can see? We're limited by that,

557
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: aren't we? Seventeen? Have the gates of death been revealed

558
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: to you? Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

559
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Can you see the spiritual realm? Joe? Because because I

560
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: can when life and death, I can see both other dominions.

561
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: I see them. Can you see them like the things

562
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: that you see right now? Can you look to me

563
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: seeing this and seeing demons, seeing angels, seeing hell, seeing heaven,

564
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: seeing life coming into the world and death, people going

565
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: out of the world. I see all that at the

566
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: same time. None of it's hidden from me. Can you

567
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: see all this? You realize that you're arguing way out

568
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: of your leg right now. And because God is saying

569
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: one thing, can you ever said this before? And I've

570
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: heard this statement, and it's a good one, and it

571
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: could sum all this up. We could just shut down

572
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: and say, let's go have lunch. The more I learned

573
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: about God, the more I realize I am not God. Right,

574
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: He is God and I am not. And this is

575
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: the point that God is ultimately making. But I like

576
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: hearing what he says about himself. He says, have you

577
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare if you know this?

578
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: I love how he stops and he gives job. So

579
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: if you do know this, interrupt me, declare what you

580
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: know about all this? Of course we don't hear anything

581
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: from Job, he says. I understand you say you have.

582
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: You're seeing it all at once. I see the full

583
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: expanse of the earth. Job, I see the full expanse

584
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: of all of it. Job. Honestly, this is the part here.

585
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: If you know that the nature of the time period,

586
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: don't miss this. Job was wealthy, he's he's well known,

587
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: he's in leadership. He might he might have the ability

588
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: to travel one hundred miles maybe, And that's a maybe.

589
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: And you know what God's played right now? What have

590
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 1: you seen, Joe? You might have got one hundred miles

591
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: from here. Do you realize how much more of the

592
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: earth there is that you've never seen? I've seen it all, Job,

593
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: You've seen very little of it. And there's an expanse

594
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: out there. Next he gets into you know the light

595
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: and the darkness? Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?

596
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: Declare if you know it? Then he gets in where

597
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: is the way to the dwelling of the light? And

598
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: where is the place of darkness? Light and darkness? Where

599
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: are they? Job? How are they created? Do you know that?

600
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: Do you know where light comes from? Do you know

601
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: why it gets dark? Job? Do you understand all this

602
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: light and darkness? You ever been there? You ever been

603
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: to where it comes from its origin? See I have

604
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: because I created it? Have you have you been to

605
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: where you know? So? Where heaven is? And then have

606
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: you've been to the place of death? Where hell is?

607
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen these two? Job? Because I'm

608
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: here with you, but I've seen all this? Can you

609
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: find these places? Job? If I told you right now

610
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: to go find them? Could you find heaven in hell? Well?

611
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: I can't. Twenty one? Oh, that's just twenty about what

612
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: can you find them? That you may take it to

613
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: its territory, that you may discern the past, to its home?

614
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: Where are they? Can you find them? Job? Twenty one?

615
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: You know for you were born then, and the number

616
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: of your days are great. A little sense of humor

617
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: hear from God. So they think that job may have

618
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: been around seventy the speculation around seventy years old probably,

619
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: And you know what he's saying round here? You pretty old,

620
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: aren't you? You've really lived a long time. Seventy years? Wow? Wow, Job,

621
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: you got any idea how long I've been here? I

622
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: have always been. Your seventy years might be impressive to

623
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: this young Alaihu. It's not impressive to me, seventy years

624
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: to me is nothing. I'm from the beginning Job I

625
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: have always been. Pardon me if I'm not impressed with

626
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: your seventy years since you were born. Even if he

627
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: was one hundred, it would be silly. Next, we go

628
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: back to the storm. Have you noticed how many times

629
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: we get storm analogies here in these latter chapters that

630
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: we've been studying Verse twenty two. Have you entered the

631
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: storehouse of the snow or have you seen storehouses of

632
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: the hell? If I wanted to snow, Job, I just

633
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: simply to go to my storehouse using this analogy, and

634
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: I make it snow. If I want Hell to come down,

635
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: I'll just simply go to my supply and I'll drop Hell.

636
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: Do you have storehouses? Job, This's got snow and hell

637
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: in it. If you need them, you can go get them.

638
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: And of course the answer is no. Twenty three, which

639
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: I have reserved for the time of trouble. Hang on

640
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: to that for the day of battle and war. Well,

641
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: now we're starting to think about the Bible, aren't we.

642
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: Exodus twenty two through twenty six tells us that Hell

643
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: was involved in the Seventh plague to free the people

644
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: from Pharaoh. We know that he also is documented in

645
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: Joshua ten to eleven is throwing large helstones at the Amorites.

646
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: We also know because we've studied the revelation. In this

647
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: very study and Revelation sixteen twenty one, we see one

648
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: hundred pound stones falling from heaven. So it's interesting that

649
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: God says, not only are these things part of weather,

650
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: but also having stored away for the time of trouble

651
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: and for the day of battle and war, I may

652
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: use them as weapons against the people. So I'm gonna

653
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: say that again, I may use them as weapons against

654
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: the people. Okay, So when bad things come from weather

655
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: and that's not the devil, apparently God says he controls

656
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: all this. And you say, well, well, I just don't

657
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: like to think of God, you know, dropping hell down

658
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: on me or dropping storms down on me. Okay, Well,

659
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: then I have to hit you with something that comes

660
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: out of Calhoun County. Do you believe that God can

661
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: stop it from hitting you? Well, if he can stop it,

662
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: but then he allows it and even causes it. Right now,

663
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't know it's an apology for that, because whatever

664
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: he does, he does it, he does it for right,

665
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: But sometimes I think we need to stop being squeamish

666
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: about the truths about God because to me, when that happens,

667
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: and I've been guilty of it, so I'm not talking

668
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: down to you when that happens, this is God refining me.

669
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: So I'm learning with you when that happens. I think

670
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: we have to be careful that you can open up

671
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: just you can open a tiny door to the adversary,

672
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: your sin nature the demons to say, well, why don't

673
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: we take that faith. Let's see if we can't weaken

674
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Saving faith is that we are

675
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: completely enamored with God's way and God's will, not ours.

676
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: We accept God the way he is and we do

677
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: not include our preferences. So we got to be careful

678
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: with that when you really get there. Like we started

679
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: off with Oswald Chambers, I don't like what I'm going

680
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: through right now, but I'm thankful for it because I

681
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: know you're doing something in this. So teach me what

682
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: you're teaching. May you be glorified by it. So then

683
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 1: he goes on and says that he does using twenty

684
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: four what is the way to the place where the

685
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: light is distributed? Or are where the east wind is

686
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: scattered upon the earth. God, you know, I'd like to

687
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: ask you this job. Do you know how lightning is dispersed?

688
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: Or do you know how when the east wind when it? Oh?

689
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: You got any idea how that happens? Of course, Job

690
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: doesn't know that. Who has a cleft or a channel

691
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: for the torrents of rain and a way for the thunderbolt?

692
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: See Job? Not only do I create the rain, not

693
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: only do I create the lightning. I even set up

694
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: canyons so the water has a place to flow, things

695
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: that fill up. You know, I've got that set up.

696
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: Do you know where lightning is going to strike? Job?

697
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: When when the lightning starts striking, you got any idea

698
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: where it's going to hit? I do? I determine where

699
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: it's going and where it's not going. So, first of all,

700
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: can you create lightning? And if you could, could you

701
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: control where it hits and where it does it? Twenty

702
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: six to bring rain on a land where no man is,

703
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: on the desert in which there is no man, Let

704
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: me tell you something, Job, I decide when and where

705
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: rain falls. If a place is really really dry, they

706
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: don't have to human being there. I'll bring rain just

707
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: to make that place moist, because I think it's good

708
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: for the animals that live there, are good for whatever

709
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: is there. You know, if a place is wet and

710
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: it needs to be dry, I'll dry it out. If

711
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: a place is dried it needs to be wet, then

712
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'll also I'll give whatever needs to do.

713
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: This is happening everywhere, Joe, not just where people can

714
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: document it. You realize I'm in control of the weather

715
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 1: and the climate and everything that's happening everywhere, all the time.

716
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: Every time we move on to verse twenty seven, to

717
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: satisfy the waste and desert land and to make the

718
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: ground sprout with grass. You know he's been talking about

719
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: in verse twenty four, I'm the origin of the storm.

720
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: Twenty five, I'm in charge of the route of the storm.

721
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: Twenty six I am in charge of the storm itself,

722
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: so origin route itself. And in twenty seven, I'm also

723
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: responsible for the effects of the storm. I send rain

724
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: and it changes the situation. Just when you thought nothing

725
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: will grow, I'll send the rain and I will start

726
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: causing things to sprout. If you ever have ever looked

727
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: at the pictures of Israel compared to all the countries

728
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: around them, you ever sending of those shots. Israel just green,

729
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: flowing with irrigation, flowing with fruitfulness, and just across the border,

730
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: dead dry nothing. Their enemies have nothing growing, Israel flowing green,

731
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: all in the same place. It's almost like God's with them.

732
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: So so anyway, and you know they have offered to

733
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: help other countries and to help them do the same thing.

734
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: And of course all it's and is just their enemies

735
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: use it as a way to attack them and turn

736
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: it down every time. So anyway, so he says, so

737
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: he's talking about that, and then he says in twenty

738
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: eight has the rain of father? Or who has begotten

739
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: the drops of dew? I'm the author of the rain?

740
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: Job are you? Are you? Are you the father of

741
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: the rain? Are you the author of all creation? Then

742
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: he uses a female analogy in twenty nine, from those

743
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: whose womb did the ice come forth? And who has

744
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: given birth to the frost of heaven. He's saying, here,

745
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm the source of ice, I'm the source of frost.

746
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm the father of all creation. I create or birth

747
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: these other weather phenomenon. They'll get thirty the waters become

748
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

749
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: If I want to freeze a lake, if I want

750
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: to freeze a body of water, when you see one frozen,

751
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: you think of me? Should I should? Should they think

752
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: of you? Job? Did you? Did you freeze the lake

753
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: for everybody? Did you bring the ice when when it

754
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: was time for ice? Because see, I do I do

755
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: all that? Then he gets into the stars and in

756
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: thirty one through thirty three, can you bind the chains

757
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: of eight ple eightes? Or loose the cords of Orion?

758
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: Can you do this Orion? Did you do this for Oryan?

759
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: Did you do this for ple eightes? These are, of

760
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: course what constellations and the stars, and he's saying, did

761
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: you do this? He said, I have controlled all things

762
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: that are terrestrial, but I also control all things that

763
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: are celestial. The celestial is under my control just like

764
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: the terrestrial. So I'm controlling both of these stars, creation,

765
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: all these things y'all been saying that are up here,

766
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: and you start making these pictures that you've got. Apparently

767
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: they were aware of these constellations because he uses them.

768
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: And when you see these constellations, have you ever thought

769
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: for you to see the constellation and call it what

770
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: you call it, that those stars all had to be

771
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: right where they are. Who do you think did that?

772
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: Who set up these constellations for you to look at?

773
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: Of course that's me. I control even the arrangement of

774
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: the stars. Now this one gets there's a lot of

775
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: commentary about Mazareth. What is this? It doesn't really seem

776
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: to refer to anything specific. Can you lead forth the

777
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: Mazareth in their season? Or can you guide the bear

778
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: with its children? Now the bear and its children, we

779
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: know is another constellation. But they're thinking this Mazareth word

780
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: here that's been used in English. It really is just

781
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: saying that God controls the entire zodiac, all of it.

782
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, more examples of constellations, but this is a

783
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: word for all the different constellations, the big for it

784
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: as a mass. The bottom line is more examples of

785
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: Him controlling how the stars are aligned and where they

786
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: are in the order in which they are. In thirty three,

787
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you

788
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: establish their rule on earth? Again? Write this down. We

789
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: won't turn to it because we're running out of time.

790
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah fifty five to nine. Write that down. Isaiah fifty

791
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: five nine. Isaiah says, God administrates it all. It's under

792
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: divine or heavenly jurisdiction. He sets up where everything is

793
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: or isn't. He is the one who makes the jurisdictions

794
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: in the heavens, not only on earth. He establishes how

795
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: it works both above us, the earth that we're on,

796
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: and below us. Now he's gonna talk about clouds. Can

797
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: you lift up your voice to the clouds that a

798
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: flood of waters may cover you? Can you call down rain? Job?

799
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: I heard your little voice a minute ago complaining about me.

800
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: Is your voice so strong and so powerful that if

801
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: we used your voice and you shouted at that cloud,

802
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: could you get rain out of it? Have you got

803
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: that kind of voice? Job? Because at my voice, I'll

804
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 1: make that cloud start raining. Can you command that? Job?

805
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: Thirty five? Can you send forth the lightnings that they

806
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: may go and say to you, here we are. So

807
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: do you tell the lightning not only have I created you,

808
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: I want to tell you where to go? And then

809
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: the lightning look back at you in obedience and say,

810
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: you told us where to go, So we struck just

811
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: where you told us to strike. Are they going to

812
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: answer to you? Job? They go here? We are Job,

813
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: thank you for directing us. You know, honestly, when you

814
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: think about this, God seems to be having some fun

815
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: at this point, talking about that who has put wisdom

816
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: in the inward parts or are giving understanding to the mind. Now,

817
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: this seems to fall into a place where it doesn't

818
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: seem like it belongs. But God said it, so it

819
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: belongs here. So I got into some of the commentary

820
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: about this this. I don't he's not talking about human

821
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: beings here. It's odd that it's in the middle of

822
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: clouds and weathers and all this speech that Job's getting

823
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: about creation. Many believe that what he's saying right here

824
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: because he's about to get into animals. We're getting close

825
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: to animals. This is this is how animals seem to

826
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: understand weather patterns. Have you ever notice that if you

827
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: ever know that the animals seem to know when weather's

828
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: coming before you do. And he's saying that that, who

829
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: do you think has put that kind of wisdom in

830
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: the inward parts or are given an understanding to the

831
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: mind of even animals that they seem to understand weather

832
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: too and have some sort of instincts. These instincts that

833
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: animals have this instinctive reasoning, this instinctive response. It looks

834
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: like they seem to be pretty wise to the weather

835
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: and the way the worth, the way the earth works.

836
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: Who do you think gave them that? That came from me?

837
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: Thirty seven? Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or

838
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: who can tilt the water skins of the heaven? Of

839
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: the heavens? You know? Let me ask you this job,

840
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: I regulate the weather. This is regulation of the weather

841
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: he's talking about. Do you know the number of the

842
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: clouds that are in the sky? Because I do? Can

843
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: you imagine? So? Can you just declare that the windows

844
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: of heaven open up? And when it opens up, it's

845
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: like tilting water scans, Like you pour out something out

846
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: of a water scan. It's like I take the heavens.

847
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: That would be no more complicated for me to bring

848
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: rain down on the earth, and it would be for

849
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: you to take a water skin turned over and pour

850
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 1: the content out. I can take the contents of heaven

851
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: and I can pour those out. I regulate all weather.

852
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: Thirty eight. When the dust runs into a mass and

853
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: the clods stick fast together, he's so about dry soil.

854
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: After he's brought the water out. He said, the soil's

855
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: grateful for the moisture. It softens the earth, and it's

856
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: getting ready now for sowing and plowing. So, Job, if

857
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: people are praying about their crops and it seems like

858
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: we're in a bit of a drought here and they

859
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: need some rain to come down to soften the land

860
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: so they can sow and plow, should they contact you

861
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: about that? Would you be able to take the heavens

862
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: and turn the water out and put it on the

863
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: dry soil for them? Because when they ask me, and

864
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: it's my will, I'm able to do it. The only

865
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: reason why it's not there now is because I've decided

866
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: not to do it. But if I decide to do it,

867
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: I can bring it down. I can soften the dirt

868
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: if the dirts dry. Job. Should they see you about that?

869
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: And of course we all know what the answer is

870
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: to that, and so does Job. By the way, thirty

871
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: nine we shift to animals. Joe, can you hunt the

872
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: prey for the lion or satisfy the appetite of the

873
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: young lions? Now? Lions hunt? We know that, but you

874
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: know what he's even throwing out here. Listen to the

875
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: detail because you think why would this make the resume.

876
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: He's trying to give Job some kind of comprehension. He goes, Job,

877
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: it's one thing to create a lion that's big. It's

878
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: another thing to give it the ability to hunt. But

879
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: it's also quite another to provide the very thing it hunts.

880
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: So if the lion can have all the skill to hunt,

881
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: it won'ts do. But where's the prey? We'll see? I

882
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: provide that to I provide both. And can you satisfy

883
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: the appetite of these young lions when the mother is

884
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: out looking for something for them to eat, I'll provide

885
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: that for them. Because would you like to provide that

886
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: for them? Should they they come to secrets of I

887
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: was somebody, I'd say, no, I by end up being

888
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: what they eat. You know. That's how they come to

889
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: me looking for prey, and I'd say I don't have anything.

890
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: They say, well, how about you? So then he says,

891
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: when they when they crouch in their dens or lie

892
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: in wait in their thicket, they're lying in wait to attack.

893
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: They're prowling for victims. Job, who do you think taught

894
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: them how to do that? Who do you think put

895
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: that instinct in them? Because I didn't just provide the lion,

896
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: and I didn't just provide the prey, and I didn't

897
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: just provide the skill and the strength also gave them

898
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: the instinct to do it. Have you ever watched a

899
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: lion or predator. It's a lot of skill and he

900
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: goes The skill came from me. I cause it to

901
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: walk so quietly, to crouch, to get down in the

902
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: den or hide in the thicket. The reason why they

903
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: don't just run out there in the open screaming and

904
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: never kill anything is because I taught them not to

905
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: do that. I taught them how to be good at

906
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: what they do. That all comes for me. Do you

907
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: ever think about that? It's one of the things that

908
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: I enjoy about hunting a lot, especially as I've gotten older.

909
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: There was a time I just went to hunt because

910
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm shooting everything. But as I've gotten

911
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: older and I've had some good experiences. One of the things,

912
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: and I've had people ask me before, and you know,

913
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: sometimes even Sherry's like, I like the outdoors too, but

914
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: you could just hang around the farm. Why do you go?

915
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: So you're telling me you go out into the wilderness

916
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: and you didn't have any luck at all harvesting anything,

917
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: and you enjoyed it, And I say, oh yeah, I say,

918
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: because I like watching the way it all works. I

919
00:55:55,120 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: love watching how that deer. How first of all, to

920
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: watch a mama come out into an opening area and

921
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: get that nose up and she starts pulling that air.

922
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: And buddy, if you are on the wrong side of

923
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: the wind, are you haven't got your scent covered, which,

924
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I think that's impossible. It's all about

925
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: the wind. So I know they sell you a lot

926
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: of stuff thinking you can't be smelled it's the wind.

927
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: So uh So, anyway, so if the wind's wrong, even

928
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there and it's right and that wind shifts,

929
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't see you, but you're here. And

930
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: how many times have you seen her look out? And

931
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: she'll look left, she'll look right, pull that air and

932
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: see her look back, and then little ones come running out.

933
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: She's like, it's all clear. And then and then they'll

934
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: go to eating and she just keeps looking in those ears,

935
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: going that nose. It's amazing. What an incredible creature, you know,

936
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: And and then of course, you know, if you're out

937
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: there watching young bucks there's nothing better for that. The

938
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: young boats to go and a look back in the woods.

939
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: You say, now here comes the guy, because those young

940
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: bucks are like, well, time for us to move on.

941
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: Here comes here comes the bigger one. All that's fascinating

942
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: to watch squirrels and how incredible they are, and the

943
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: birds and you know, and this rabbit, what are you

944
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: even doing here? And so to watch it all work

945
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: is fascinating. And God said, all these things. And the

946
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: part that I've learned on this lesson, I'm not just

947
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: doing some of it. Let your mind go and understand,

948
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing every bit of it. I've created the prey.

949
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: I've created the predator. I've created the instinct. I've created

950
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: the protection, the skill, the strength, the speed, the eyesight,

951
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: the ability to smell. And for some reason, he gives us,

952
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: as human beings, a chance. If a turkey could smell

953
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: like a deer and a deer could see like a turkey,

954
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: ever kill their the one of them. But he gave

955
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: the turkey the eyes sight and gave the deer of

956
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: the smell. He's like, I'll give you all chance. So

957
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: there you go. So the final one, forty one who

958
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: provides for the raven. The raven's getting in here, it's pray.

959
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: When it's young ones cry to God for help and

960
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: wonder about the lack of food. Now, see, this is

961
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: Jesus here a little bit. You remember when he's talking

962
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: to us about not being anxious, not being not worrying

963
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: about how we're going to eat. Now he's going with

964
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: a raven. Jesus is talking about just birds and sparrows.

965
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: And you know, he says, not even a sparrow falls

966
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: without my father knowing it. Aren't you worth more than

967
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: many sparrows? He goes, The birds don't worry about how

968
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: they eat. They're not worried about it. He goes, So, job,

969
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,479
Speaker 1: if I've got a raven and it's looking for some prey,

970
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: can can you first of all, can you make a raven?

971
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: And then can you give it its prey? What about

972
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: when it's searching for food for all, it's young ones

973
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: and they're eyeing out to their creator for help. We

974
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: need something to eat, We need something to eat. This

975
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: is an animal that knows that the Creator is the

976
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: one that's going to provide and they're wondering where the

977
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: food is, and they're crying out to the Creator should

978
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: I just send them to you, Joe, so you can

979
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: feed them, So God says to Job as we close

980
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: for this week. They cried to me, Joe, because if

981
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: they cried to you, they'd starve. They cried to me,

982
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: and maybe you should too. Let's pray, Lord, thank you

983
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: for today. Thank you for this incredible word. Lord. We

984
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: are in all of you right now, maybe in all

985
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: of you more right now than we were before we

986
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: came in here and said down. I'm just inspired. I'm

987
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: inspired to worship. You are great, you are wonderful. You

988
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: are the beginning, You are the end. You are the

989
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: source of all things. And I beg for forgiveness for

990
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: how much I make of myself and how little sometimes

991
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: I make of you. Thank you for the correction today.

992
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: In your name, we pray Amen.
