1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wednesday Bible Study. Thank you for being

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: with us today. We have more to cover if you're

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: just joining us. We are studying the Book of Job

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: to say that it is a provocative book as an understatement,

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: and it features something where we are right now that

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: there's so many things that make it unique. But we

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: have God going on for several chapters talking about himselfet

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: and revealing to us, for lack of a better term,

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: he's given us his resume some of the things that

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: we might find impressive, which we have, and we covered

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: that last week in chapter thirty eight. Today we'll be

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: in Job thirty nine if you want to go ahead

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: and turn there and get ready. If you missed any

14

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: to archives of this study our studies passed. UH. Themanchurch

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: dot Com is a hub for a men's discipleship strategy.

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: It was so wonderful even over this past weekend to

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: go out and see it in action, UH, and had

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go back to to my home county.

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: It's always a little Uh, well, you know, it's intimidating

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: when you go back home, when you realize that even

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Jesus was treated poorly when he went back home. So

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: I had that in the back of my mind, and

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: it was a little shocking when I got back to

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: where I went to high school, people claiming to be

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: people that I knew, but they couldn't be those people

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: because it was a bunch of old men. Uh So, anyway,

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was great. But watching it work,

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: watching watching it work. So Rick, what do you mean,

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: how does it work? It's a it's a strategy that's

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: twofold high challenge, which has been around for a long

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: time with men's ministry. Uh but high challenge must also

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: feature high equipping our discipleship. If all we do is

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: just challenge and we don't equip, frankly, we leave men frustrated.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: So what we're doing is we're challenging in the form

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: of events conferences, but we're also equipping in the form

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: of forty week curricula. We have six of those, and

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: we also do it in the form of individual resources,

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: devotions and books. And if you'd like to find out

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: more about what we do, we'd be more than willing

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: to help you, and even fine gatherings that are going

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: on near you, including our conferences coming up next year.

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Go to Themanchurch dot com. Also, we do a podcast

46
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: called Strange Encounters. We teamed up with Blade Media for

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: that podcast. It's about spiritual warfare. The entire podcast there's

48
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: twenty episodes. If you'd like to find out more about

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: what the Bible has to say about the supernatural even

00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: in our present time, just go to wherever you get

51

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: those studios right now. So let's open up in a

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: word of prayer and we'll jump into job thirty nine. Lord,

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: we thank you for the opportunity to jump into your

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Holy Word today to learn more about you. Always when

58
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: we study the Bible, we're learning about you, but to

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: hear about you from you is quite an experience. And

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: just like when we left last week, I can only

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: speak for myself, but I had others say the same thing.

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: You prompted us to worship you and to be in

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: all of you, to fear you, but at the same time,

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: just be so grateful for your grace and mercy, and

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Lord just guide us through this next chapter about you

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: and your name. We pray Amen. So you know, last week,

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: if you missed it, Job heard from God and he

68
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: kind of had Job take a look at creation and

69
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: how weather works and all these things. And he asked

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Job some tough questions if he could do those things. Job,

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: of course has no end. Of course the answers no. Interesting.

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: This is very intriguing in so many ways. Toward last

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: week we saw the one and only living God starting

74
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: to show Job the animal Kingdom. That's all He's going

75
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: to do in thirty nine. Interesting. Now I want you

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: to think about how many animals that God has created.

77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: It's mind boggling. Just the number of species of birds

78
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: is more than we can even wrap our mind around.

79
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: And when I think about the creation of the animal kingdom,

80
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: especially when you get the things like birds have so

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: many different versions as it really is something I heard

82
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: one time about you ever heard these people say, well,

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: there must be alien life out there. I just have

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: a hard time thinking that God just created, you know,

85
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: beings on earth. It just seems like you know, we've

86
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: got the vastness of the universe. I just doesn't make sense.

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: And uh and I love the first time I heard

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: I can't remember the commentator, It said, have you ever

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: thought about the vastness of the universe? Maybe telling you

90
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: how big God is? Maybe he just needs the room,

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, And uh and and and and one of

92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: the things that that you think about, too, is it's

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: obvious we don't really I don't think this is even

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: speculation because it's so obvious. Is that the creator's side

95
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: of him is so powerful that he just keeps on creating.

96
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: It's like, just think about how he can have so

97
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: many different colors and designs and and the and just

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: the uniqueness of each thing he's created. And uh and

99
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna pick now. I want you to think

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: about this. And I've always thought about this. He's gonna

101
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: spend thirty nine talking about the animal Kingdom, and we'll

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: we'll have some creatures coming up later that that kind

103
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: of boggle the mind. Many think this is evidence of

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: of the that dinosaurs existed in Job's time. We'll talk

105
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: about that later, but today we're going to talk about

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: animals that we are familiar with. And it was interesting

107
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: to me the ones that God picked. So I'm going

108
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: to show you my glory and I'm going to show

109
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you how what I can do. And he picks these animals.

110
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting, and it's even interesting what he says about

111
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: them and the points he's making about himself through these

112
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: kind of odd all star team he puts on the

113
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: field of all the animals he could talk about. So

114
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: it starts off with the one to me right out

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: of the gate, that that I wouldn't expect if God's

116
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: going to give me his resume, and he's he's he

117
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: because he starts off, you know, talking about a lion

118
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: toward the end of last week. Then he goes to

119
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: a raven, which I thought was kind of an interesting choice.

120
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: But the lion, I could see, that one I would expect.

121
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: But would you expect him to then move to the

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: mountain goat. I wouldn't expect that. But there's a reason

123
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: because and we'll talk about that. So the next thing

124
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: that God says, he's already talking about animals as we

125
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: ended last week. I'm not sure why they didn't just

126
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: put those two in here too, but they didn't do.

127
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, this is God talking. Do you know to

128
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: job and those that are that they're listening, do you

129
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: know when the mountain goat gives birth? Interesting these exclusive

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: animals that seem to float gracefully over the roughest terrain.

131
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: You ever seen a mountain goat? How they can just

132
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's amazing the terrain that they just bounced

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: through like I would be walking across the parking lot.

134
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I even struggle to get across the parking lot if

135
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: it's not even you know, And and they float gracefully

136
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: over the roughest terrain. They stay as far away from

137
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: humans as possible. And in these days, they they don't

138
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: have a national geographic so no one has on out

139
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: with the budget of the people we have and say

140
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: we will now go study the mountain goat and we'll

141
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: tell you everything about the mountain goat you've ever wanted

142
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: to know. Did you know that these national geographic and

143
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: I'm just using that as one of them. But these

144
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: photographers and these filmmakers that go out to study these

145
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: really elusive animals. Have y'all ever seen the information on

146
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: how long they stay out there, like to get a

147
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: shot of the snow leopard. I mean, they are out

148
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: there for days and days and hours and hours, hidden

149
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: camera face going at any moment, I'm going to capture

150
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: the fill in the blank. But they didn't have that.

151
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: So keep in mind when God is saying, how about

152
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: that mountain goat? They don't know much about it. I mean,

153
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: because they're so elusive. Very many humans ever even saw them.

154
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: But when they would see them from afar, you would

155
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: see them bouncing through this rough terrain. So so they

156
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: have not been studied in the details that they have today.

157
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: So keep in mind, Joe would have very little information

158
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: on the mountain go So so when God is saying

159
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: to him, because let me tell you what he can't say,

160
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: you know what I actually do. I watched that National

161
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Geographic thing, and I actually know when they give birth.

162
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: I heard all about it. Uh, he wouldn't know that

163
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: at all. So God says, do you know when the

164
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving? Uh?

165
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: The the you know, the calving of the of the dose,

166
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: meaning when the dose give birch of their calves. These

167
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: are really if you're looking at at what he's talking about,

168
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: you can write this down ibex ib e X. This

169
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: is the animal he's talking about. And so they they

170
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: also stay around some of the the the caves that

171
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: are up in these mountains, and right now, if you

172
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: you went there, they still roam in small herds on

173
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: the western edge of the Dead Sea. Now Job doesn't

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: know when they birth. Job has never seen a female

175
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: mountain goat give birth, so he has no idea. And

176
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: so God is saying, you don't know these things, but

177
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: I do. So remember everything God is saying about himself.

178
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Not only did I create the mountain goat, and look

179
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: how graceful it is bouncing around on this rough terrain.

180
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: I gave it that ability. I also gave it the

181
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: ability to reproduce. I gave it the ability to carry

182
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: the calf to term. I gave it the ability to

183
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: know when to birth the calf. I actually created the

184
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: birthing process. And I actually created the calf to be

185
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: able to nurse the mother and then get to its

186
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: point where it's independent to stay away from predators. I

187
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: did all that, and Job, did you do that? I mean,

188
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: have you got anything you can? Even? Right now, Job's

189
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: already and over his head long before we get here.

190
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: But this is not helping. So now in verse two.

191
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Can you number the months that they fulfill? And do

192
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: you know the time when they give birth? He's really asking, Job,

193
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: do you know the gestation process? Do you know how

194
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: long it takes a baby mountain goat to stay in

195
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: its mother's womb? Do you do you have any idea

196
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: when these mother goats? Like, we want to throw a

197
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: number out there, how long do you think it takes? Joe? See,

198
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: I know how long it takes because I knew how

199
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 1: long it would need, and that's the number that I dictated,

200
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: and so I actually called I know how I create

201
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: up the conception. I created that and I thought, you know,

202
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: this calf to be able to survive needs to stay

203
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: in the mother's womb for this amount of time, and

204
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: this should be the time it should be birth. So

205
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: do you tell me the number? Job? Do you even

206
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: have any idea? Again, he doesn't have a documentary, He

207
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: has no idea. Uh, and so he's asking Job that

208
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Now you get to three, he says, when they crouch,

209
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: bring forth their offspring and are delivered of their young.

210
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: Do you know this? Obviously something like the birthing process

211
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: where the mother for lack of a better term, has

212
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: to hunker down to get the strength to push the

213
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: baby out. And so see, I started thinking about all

214
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: that because what God, I think wants us to understand

215
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: is he is Lord, and he is sovereign over every

216
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: single detail. See. I wouldnt even think about that. I

217
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: would think I'm good with the fact you made a

218
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: mountain goat and they seem to reproduce. Okay, that's all

219
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: you really had to say to me, And and God said, no, no,

220
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: I want I want you to know more. Do you

221
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: realize how many things have to take place for them

222
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: to reproduce themselves? Do you realize what a creator I

223
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: am that I came up with this animal to begin with.

224
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: I gave it all this ability, all this grace, all

225
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: this strength, all this speed. We'll get into speed in

226
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: a minute. He's got some that are really fast coming up.

227
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: But I also something as simple as what is this

228
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: instinct that the mother even knows how to birth the baby.

229
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: I didn't just create the mother. I didn't just create

230
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: the baby. I created the process from beginning to end.

231
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: And and this is mind blowing because it would be

232
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: mind blowing to us with all the information that we

233
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: have about animals. Now it's really mind blowing to Job

234
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: because he has no idea how this takes place. There's

235
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: it's well, it's not likely, it's probable. It's probable that

236
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: suddenly Job, if he ever got a chance to see

237
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: a mountain goat, which they were very elusive, and he

238
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: might see a baby goat. I doubt he ever saw

239
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: one being born. I don't know that he would have

240
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: ever been in position to pull that out. First of all,

241
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: to get to where they birth, I don't even know

242
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: if you can get up there. So God is making

243
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: this point so for he's going to talk about the

244
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: cycle of life. Their young ones become strong, they grow

245
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: up in the open, they go out and do not

246
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: return to them. He's even even adding this detail, Job,

247
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I have created this cycle of life so much. I'm

248
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: even I didn't just give up. I stayed with that.

249
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: The calf when it's been born. I know how long

250
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: it needs to stay with its mama before it is

251
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: strong enough to go out on its own, feed itself

252
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: and leave its mama. I even know that time period

253
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: I came up with that. The job. Any you have

254
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: anything to say, do you think you could have accomplished

255
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: any of this? And of course the answer is no

256
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: interesting now that we go to the process of all

257
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the animals, I think is coming next. The donkey, is

258
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: not it the wild donkey? That's important If you had

259
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: King James version, it is. It is what I was

260
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: called a few times. Yeah, And my dad would also

261
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: insert the word dumb or wild. Uh. And for the

262
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: longest I thought that was my middle name. But but

263
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: the so remember that my that my dad was the

264
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: one that came up with the wonderful phrase. If I

265
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: had ordered a truckload of stupid people, but he said

266
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: a different word than stupid people, and all I got

267
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: was you. You were the only one I got. I

268
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: would have got my money's worth, you know. So, So anyway,

269
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: so he now looks to these wild donkeys that that

270
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: roamed this area, and they're still have you ever seen them?

271
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: You ever seen documentarial there they're still out there. Uh

272
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: and uh and and they're and they're wild and and

273
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: and and we see that wild donkey, believe it or not,

274
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: appears in the Old Testament ten times, and in the

275
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: King James version it uses the other phrase. And that's

276
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: one of the things that Greg keeps saying on the

277
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: day job. He says, I can't get in trouble for

278
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: saying this. It's the name of an animal. I'm simply saying,

279
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: you're acting like an animal, and we're like still out

280
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of some think it's great, you know what I mean.

281
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, in the Old Testament, ten times four of

282
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: them is right now. It has already been mentioned in Job,

283
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: chapter six, five and chapter eleven twelve twenty four to five,

284
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: and now here now it refers to the wild donkey's freedom.

285
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Look at look at five? Who has let the wild

286
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the

287
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: swift donkey? Okay, the donkey is an impressive animal, It

288
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: didn't feel that way in the beginning. Had a pretty

289
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: prominent role on some pretty big things. But here it's

290
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: talking about the freedom he has been I've set him loose.

291
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: And this one seems to ridicule Job just a little

292
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: because he's now getting into a place where he's kind

293
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: of having a little fun with Job. About how the

294
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: distance between Job and in God verse six, to whom

295
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I have given the arid plane for his home and

296
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the salt land for his dwelling place. Now I know

297
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: that this is great. Not only have I turned the

298
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: donkey loose because it needs room. This thing's wild, it

299
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: runs crazy, so it's got to have some room. I

300
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: created the room that it needs, so I've got I'm

301
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: everywhere in this the donkey I've created him. I've set

302
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: him free to enjoy the space that I also created.

303
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: And what he's talking about here is the salt sea

304
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: or the dead sea. It's that same area where these

305
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: wild donkeys ran crazy and seven. He scorns the tumult

306
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: of the city. He hears, not the shouts of the driver.

307
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: The donkey is so free and so far away from

308
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: anything he is. The hustle and bustle of city life

309
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: never even comes into his world. He's got so much

310
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: room and he covers so much ground. He's so far

311
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: away from the things. You know, Joe, this is this

312
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: is once again him ridiculedly ridiculing job that he's telling Job.

313
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about this before. You have a pretty

314
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: small view of all I've created. You haven't seen that

315
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: much of it. I'm so much bigger than anything that

316
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: you can comprehend. There's things going on, job that are

317
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: that are away from the little city life that you

318
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: have lived. There's the wild donkey is not even part

319
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: of city life. Okay, it's a whole different world. Job.

320
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: And I created where you live, but I've created where

321
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: they live. I'm unlimited. You are quite limited. Uh. And

322
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: then we get into verse eight. He ranges the mountains

323
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: as his pasture and he searches after every green thing. Interesting.

324
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Though he lives a life of freedom, he still has

325
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: to find food on his own. So he does. But remember,

326
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: here we go again, God showing us everything. I created

327
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: the donkey. I created the room that the donkey needed.

328
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: I created the swiftness, the strength, the wildness of the donkey.

329
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: He must go, he must cover all kinds of ground

330
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: I have put in him, the ability to go and

331
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: find food, and what appears to be the vastness of

332
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: his own. And oh, by the way, I created the

333
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: food that he eventually finds. Wow, I mean it is

334
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: really showing a resume that has job. Certainly by this

335
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: point with his mouth wide open, going I wish this

336
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: wasn't I wish this would end at some point Verse

337
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: nine Interesting. So on the line up, God says, I

338
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: got to talk about inventing animals and making animals. He

339
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: went with the lion, big, he went with the raven. Okay,

340
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: he's gone now with mountain goats, wild donkeys, next a

341
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: wild ox. Now, it's important that both the donkey and

342
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: the ox. The ox, he's not talking about the domesticated versions.

343
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: He's talking about all these animals had to be domesticated,

344
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: but they wild out there in creation. And he's talking

345
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: about in these two instances. You'll see different when we

346
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: get to the horse. But he's talking about wild ox.

347
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: He's talking about wild donkeys. So he says, is the

348
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: wild ox willing to serve you? So job, let me

349
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: ask you. Can you just walk out to a wild

350
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: ox and just say I want you to come to

351
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: work at my farm and then he just goes with you.

352
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: Will he spend the night at your manger? He just

353
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: EA's on in there. So you can go out there

354
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: and grab a wild ox and you're just gonna walk

355
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: him to the barn and he's just gonna walk in

356
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: there and and go to work for you. It really

357
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, Tim. Can you bind him in

358
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: the furrow with ropes? Or or will he herold the

359
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: valleys after you? What these are questions that he's asking

360
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: about the wild ox? Are you gonna round him? Up,

361
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: take him away from his freedoms, live in your barn,

362
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: go to work for you. Is the oxen gonna just

363
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: just go out there and and and stand still for

364
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: you as you hook him up to the plow. Is

365
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: that what's gonna happen. Anybody ever been around farm life

366
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: or been involved in ranches where you had to break

367
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: some animal for it to become domesticated. I've never experienced that.

368
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: It looks like a handful from what I've saying. Now,

369
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: I've worked around cows, not an ox, but I've worked

370
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: around cows, and it does seem that they can sometimes

371
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: be unwilling to do what you want them to do,

372
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: and if they are, there's not a whole lot you

373
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: can do about it. And especially dealing with bulls. But

374
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: I have been chasing to a farm pond by a

375
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: bull before, and you're standing out in the pond going, well,

376
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: if he never leaves, I wonder how this ends. Uh

377
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, uh so, uh so, But that has happened.

378
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: But but this is a different situation. He's saying. I

379
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: just don't think that a wild ox is gonna go

380
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: to the barn, is gonna stand there and let you,

381
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, just just hook him up to the plow. Uh?

382
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: And eleven? Will you depend on him because his strength

383
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: is great? And will you leave him to your labor?

384
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: Are you gonna make the ox work for you? And

385
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: now now, job? Do you agree to get a wild

386
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: ox to the manger, hooked up to the plow and

387
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: go to work for you? That that's no easy task.

388
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna happen for me. It would be

389
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: if I, because see I created the wild ox, I

390
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: could take a wild ox and I could investigate here

391
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: with no problem at all. I don't think you can

392
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: do that. Can you take this, this wild animal that

393
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I've made for you? Without all your farm hands, without

394
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: all the people you got trained? Could you go out there,

395
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: take a wild ox and get him to go to

396
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: work for you? And of course job, but I'm sure

397
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: is given a big numb. No, I don't think I

398
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: could Verse twelve. Do you have faith in him that

399
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: he will return your grain and gather it to your

400
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: threshing floor? Can? Can you trust a wild ox? Do

401
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: you just do what you tell it to do, gather grain,

402
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: haul it in for you? Can you get it to

403
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: do that? You ever seen a wild ox? They're big

404
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: and they're strong, and they're onnery. They're difficult. As a

405
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I read up on that and it

406
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: said even when you had them, they were very hard

407
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: to deal with, even the domesticated ones. Many times they

408
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: would dump the grain out because you couldn't get them

409
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: to stay straight. And again, I mean kind of one

410
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: of the things we'll get to when we get to

411
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: the horse. One of the things that always bothered me

412
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: about livestock, and they're so called domesticated. When you're on

413
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: a wild animal, even when it's domesticated, the things that

414
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: we have that get them to turn and go and

415
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the things we connect them to. If they decide today

416
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: they're not into it, there's not a whole lot you

417
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: can do about it, and that always bothered me. Plus

418
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: they don't have a clutch. It's just, you know, it's

419
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm on a beast and I can

420
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: feel this power. I understand that maybe ten times he's

421
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: done it the right way, but if he decides today

422
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: it's not going that way, it's going to be really difficult.

423
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: So the ox is another thing he wants job to consider.

424
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: So we got lions, we got ravens, we got mountain goats,

425
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: we got donkeys, we got ox now here comes an

426
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: odd one on God's resume. He will include the Ostrich.

427
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: And he said some things that have got a little

428
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: depth to them. This animal, if you know a lot

429
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: about it in in the Kingdom, and I do. I'm

430
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: very interested in animals, so I do watch a lot

431
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: of animal documentaries. This is a very dangerous animal. It

432
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: seems silly in the way they look in the act,

433
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: but they're very dangerous. How many of you know this

434
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: that Johnny Cash was nearly killed by an ostrich? Absolutely true,

435
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: absolutely true. Got into one of these, you know when

436
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: people keep them and whatever he this was before he

437
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: came to Jesus, and he got he got, He got

438
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: on somebody else's land and thought he was in a

439
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: different place and got inside an area where somebody was

440
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: keeping ostriches, and Ostrich nearly killed it. He had some

441
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: major injuries. By the way, you don't hear Johnny Cash

442
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: Ostro's storage much in a Bible study, but but here

443
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: it seems to work. Uh So let's talk about the Ostrich. Uh.

444
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: God says, the wings of the ostrich wave proudly. But

445
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: are they the pinions and plumage of love. They may

446
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: look inviting, and that may look like they're not dangerous,

447
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: but you know different, don't you, Job. I guess Joe

448
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: did that this is actually a very dangerous animal. I

449
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: think we're going to see later another animal that I

450
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: did expect. Two animals I did expect. In the resume.

451
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: I think what God is doing here too, And many agree.

452
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: We had the raven, which is a bird that can fly.

453
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: We're going to have, you know, we're going to have

454
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: some ego and hawk action at the end. But God

455
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: is showing the vastness of his creation. The ostrich is

456
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: a what it's a flightless bird. It's a bird that

457
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: has wings. But the way the body is and how

458
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: heavy they are, I mean they weigh hundreds of pounds.

459
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: It can't fly, but we'll find out more about it.

460
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: It's like God's showing in his creation. Fourteen is an

461
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: interesting comment, for she leaves her eggs to the earth

462
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: and lets them be warmed on the ground. They're they're

463
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: really not in the region where Job is any more today,

464
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: but they were at one time. And and and the

465
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: female lays the eggs out in the open. But the

466
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: eggs are kind of the color of the sand, so

467
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: they would be camouflage, but they were kind of out

468
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: in the open. And uh and in fifteen, look what

469
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: he says about this though, forgetting that a foot may

470
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: crush them, and that the wild beasts may trample them.

471
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: This is interesting, by the way, if you know about ostrich,

472
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: just the male actually deals with the eggs, sometimes more

473
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: than the female. Uh. And there and their they're left.

474
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: And when when like a predator shows up that might

475
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: give the ostrich some issues, they can lion or something

476
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: like that. A lot of times they will. They will

477
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: run off to try to get the predator away from

478
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: the eggs so they don't step on them. But it

479
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: really lays out in the open camouflage by the sand.

480
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: But really, if you think about it, if she can't

481
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: get them to stay away from it, or even if

482
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: a big ox came along, they could just step on

483
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: them and crush them. And and sometimes this did happen.

484
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: So so look at sixteen. She deals cruelly with her

485
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: young as if they were not hers, though her labor

486
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: be in vain, yet she has no fear. Now now

487
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: he's telling us that he's created an animal that lacks

488
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: maternal concern for the offspring, and she really has no

489
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: fear of the outcome. At first you think, well, well

490
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: she has she has. She has no fear of anything else.

491
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: That's the reason what they're what he's saying. He saying,

492
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: she throws them out there and they open. She doesn't

493
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: really have an internal connection to them. If they get destroyed,

494
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't really bother her. Uh. And and he's saying, see,

495
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: this is the vastness of my creation. I've even instilled

496
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: in this particular animal. I didn't really put to maternal

497
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: connection or concern. And that was my call. And by

498
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: the way, in seventeen he said, I even have decided

499
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: that this animal will not have wisdom because God has

500
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: made her forget wisdom and has given no share in understanding.

501
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: God says that he decided not to give this bird wisdom.

502
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: He did not endow the bird with any ability to

503
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: make wise decisions. Interesting, so God can decide even in

504
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: an animal and some bizarre bird. Here's the things I

505
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: want this animal to have, and here's some things I'm

506
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: not going to give it. And you say, well, why

507
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: did you do that? God? And he goes, that's of

508
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: no concern of yours. I did it because I'm God

509
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: you yeah, but I have to know why. And somewhere

510
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: God says, well, I know why I did this. If

511
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: I told you how all this worked, your head would

512
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: likely explode. Yeah, I remember, my ways are not your ways.

513
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I would go, if you can give all the animals wisdom,

514
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't you just give them all wisdom? But he says,

515
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: in this case, I didn't. It could be that this

516
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: bird does not have wisdom because he realized physically when

517
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: he finished making this bird. He's like, if I give

518
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: this bird wisdom, it's gonna kill a lot of people.

519
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, at least at least hopefully. You just hope

520
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: that it's dumb enough that it won't follow you, you know,

521
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: when you're you're getting away from because you can't outrun it.

522
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna see that. By the way, these things are

523
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: extremely fast. So this is another thing God is showing.

524
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: I didn't give it a maternal instinct. I didn't give

525
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: it wisdom, I didn't give it an understanding, but I

526
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: did give it speed and I did give it strength.

527
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: So see he did give those things, and that I

528
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: think one of the things. I know. We're not animals, okay,

529
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: but I have been guilty of this so many times.

530
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: And I do think the message is here in this

531
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: silly animal. Okay, how many times have you found yourself

532
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: concentrating on what God didn't give you? And somebody had

533
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: to sit down with you and say, can I run

534
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: the list for you all the things God did do

535
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: for you? All the things God did give you? Right?

536
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like I've told you this before, something

537
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: as silly as doing what I do for a living.

538
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: And God says, Rick, here's today response from the audience.

539
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: Three hundred comments today. Okay, two hundred and ninety eight

540
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: are going to be encouraging. I'm gonna encourage and I'm

541
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna love on you, and I'm gonna build you up

542
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: today and I'm gonna give you what you need so

543
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: you can come back and do this again tomorrow. But

544
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: I am going to allow two negative comments just to

545
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: keep you humble. And what do I spend the rest

546
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: of the day on two comments? And God said, so,

547
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: I give you two hundred and ninety eight of encouragement,

548
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: and I give you two that challenge you and humble you.

549
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: And you can't You've forgotten the two ninety eight I

550
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: gave you Austar dridge speed, and I gave it strength.

551
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: So don't sit around talking about how I didn't give

552
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: you understanding and I didn't give you wisdom and I

553
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't give you a maternal connection, because if I didn't

554
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: give you those, I've deemed that the way you're created,

555
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: this is what you need and this is what you

556
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: don't need for you to be what I want you

557
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: to be. I know, I'm talking about a silly bird,

558
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: but it works. I mean that is a takeaway here

559
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: because God's not telling job what he gave and what

560
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: he didn't give for just some random reason. So here

561
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: we go. Let's talk about the speed of the animal,

562
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: and it has plenty. It says when she rouses herself

563
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: to flee, if she decides to run, she laughs at

564
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: the horse and his rider. Interesting, So if you want

565
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: to know a little something about the old three hundred

566
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: pound bird, you got a three hundred pound bird that

567
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: can run forty miles an hour, that's picking them up

568
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: and putting them down. And how about that that's a

569
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: load coming at you at forty miles an hour. Okay,

570
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: so you realize that if you were pursuing the ostrich

571
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: on a horse you could not catch it. She laughs

572
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: at a rider coming after on a horse. So again,

573
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: I did give you that, And that's the reason why

574
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: maybe we would look like I said if I didn't,

575
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: if I gave her everything, she would be so dangerous

576
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: out there if she had understanding maternal instinct, which would

577
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: make her, what want to kill everybody that went near

578
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: her eggs. And let's say she can run forty miles

579
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: an hour. She's got she's three hundred pounds worth of strength. Okay,

580
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: But yet she also was smart enough that you couldn't

581
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: get away from her. And she also would kill anybody

582
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: that went near her eggs. That probably problematic. And you

583
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: know with her feet, you know, they have these big claws.

584
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: She can disembowel you. That's usually how she kills her

585
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: she kills she takes that toenail, and she'll come down

586
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: your gut and just take and let your guts fall out.

587
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: There's a pleasant thought if you ever decided to take

588
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 1: on an ostrich. Uh. But anyway, so next we moved

589
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: to really what is one of my favorite parts of

590
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: his animal resume, the war horse. I wish that I

591
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: was not afraid of horses, because they're so majestic, and

592
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: they're so beautiful, and they made the resume. I'm terrified

593
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: of horses, and I wish I wasn't. That's a big animal.

594
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: It's a lot of speed, a lot of strength. There's

595
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why I'm afraid of them. I've

596
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: had some bad horse experiences and and I don't want

597
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: to be afraid of them because I find them incredible.

598
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: And if you've ever watched the movie Secretariat, that slow

599
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: motion shot of Big Red picking them up and putting

600
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: them down and they begin to quote this out of

601
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: job as that big horse is coming around the track,

602
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: the greatest race horse of all time. Uh, it is

603
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: incredibly impressive. But speaking of that name, have you ever had

604
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: that friend that if they were not in your life,

605
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: you would have avoided a lot of bad situations? And

606
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: I have this friend. We're still dear friends today. He

607
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: always wanted to do things, and every time I would

608
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: go on one of his adventures, I would always get injured.

609
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: One time I nearly drown. And so he comes up

610
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: with this brilliant idea that while we had time off

611
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: from class, we were gonna work a horse farm in Jade, Florida,

612
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what do you mean. He goes, Now,

613
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: we're just gonna be raking, you know, hey, and brushing

614
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: the horses and cleaning up dung. I'm like, well that

615
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: sounds great, and he said but he said, but they'll

616
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: feed us and we'll make some money and all this. Okay.

617
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: So so we get there, and that's what I think

618
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm not a horseman, okay. All of a sudden,

619
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: I've been doing the raking and all that. It seems

620
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: like it's going well. We've been brushing horses, and all

621
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the guy says, all right, guys, let's

622
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: take them out for a ride. Excuse me, what did

623
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: you just say? He said, Well, these people board their

624
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: horses here. We got to ride them. That's part of

625
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: what the service is. Because you keep them domesticated, keep

626
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: them broken. You got to ride them or they'll start

627
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: being difficult again. And I'm like, I'm riding one, and

628
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, get on a horse. So I don't

629
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: know anything about the different horses. So I get on

630
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: this horse. I think it's a normal sized horse. All

631
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the door's open and I come out

632
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: on it, and he goes oh, I said, you decided

633
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: to ride Big Red. And I look and I'm towering

634
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: over all the other horses, and I'm like, I'm on

635
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: the biggest horse you got. You got the big one,

636
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: and you must be something. I'm like, no, and I

637
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: don't want to be on this horse. And I mean

638
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: the little quarter horses were like coming like right here,

639
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm on a giant horse. And so

640
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: we go out for the run. Well, my so called

641
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: friend what does he do? And he's pretty good on

642
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: the horse, which was weird because he played nose guard

643
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: and I felt so bad for the horse. There was

644
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of lot of lot of stew on that horse.

645
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: And and and he comes by and he slaps the

646
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: butt of Big Red, and Big Red takes off with me.

647
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean wide open and big Red can go. And

648
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: and where I'm riding, Big Red gets in some mud

649
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: because I don't know where he's going, and all of

650
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, he goes down. He starts losing his footing,

651
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: and I come all the way off that horse and

652
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: hit and I nearly got ran over by the horse,

653
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: and uh, and he got up and I stood up

654
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: with mud all over me, and I was like, you know,

655
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: first you have to see am I alive? Did this

656
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: kill me? I look around, Yeah, I'm still where I'm at.

657
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: And and the guy comes running up and he goes,

658
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: well you big red through you? And I said, yes

659
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: he did, Yes he did? Uh yeah, I said, can

660
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: I request? Do you have one that y'all named old

661
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: nearly dead gray? Can I ride the nearest death horse

662
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: that's here? And they finally brought it some old, I mean,

663
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: bad looking horse. The horse even looked at me like

664
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm out if you're out, you know, I don't even

665
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: want to go, and that he came by and slapped

666
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: that horse and no hours any move. It was just

667
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: like you know. So, so I finally got on one

668
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: that was named Glue and and that was a much

669
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: better ride. So you know, I've I've been stuffed on

670
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: by horses, stuff on my feet, had a horse to

671
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: try to kick me one time. I don't like horses,

672
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: but I wish I did because they're they're majestic and

673
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: they're beautifully beautifully made. So horses. We think this is

674
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: clearly a war horse because of everything God says about

675
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: this horse mainly owned by royalty. Uh you know the

676
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: royals were really the only ones usually that that were

677
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: riding these type of horses. The first time, you know,

678
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: the first time we see a horse show up is

679
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: when Joseph is taking care of Pharaoh's stuff. And Genesis

680
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: forty seven seventeen, we don't that's first time we hear

681
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: about a horse in the Bible. But so but horses

682
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: have been a huge part of creation. So look at nineteen.

683
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: He says, did you give the horse his might? Do

684
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: you clothe his neck with a mane? That's so straightforward?

685
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: Can't you see him? Job? I'd like to know, did

686
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: you give Because Job has probably seen a horse, did

687
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: you give the horse its beauty and strength? Look at it?

688
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: You ever looked at a r They're impressive, man, they're impressive.

689
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: We actually saw some horses. Sherry's dad, my father in law,

690
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: has horses. And the fog was coming up on Saturday

691
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: morning and we were in Gunnersville. I'd spoke the night

692
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: before and we stayed there to see some family and

693
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: we were at where Chery grew up, and we're looking

694
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: at over this this pasture and you see the morning

695
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: fog is out there, and see those horses standing in

696
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: that morning fog. One of them is all white and

697
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: has blue eyes, and start walking through that fog towardist

698
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I wish I wouldn't afraid of horses.

699
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: And then all I can think of is, hey, it's

700
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: coming nearest. It thinks we're going to feed it. So anyway,

701
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: he says, did you give the horse its beauty and

702
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: its strength? Twenty did you make him leap like a locust?

703
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: His majestic snorting is terrifying. Can't you see him? He says,

704
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: something this large job? If you noted, could you have

705
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: made something this big and this athletic at the same time.

706
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: Just the power and the muscles and the strength of

707
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: this beautiful Look at the main I mean think about

708
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: God says, you know, I think it needs this and

709
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: that beautiful in that majestic and twenty two twenty one,

710
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: he paws in the valley, exults in his strength. He

711
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: goes out to meet the weapons. The spirited horse is

712
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: eager and ready to meet his enemy. He's fearless. Did

713
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: you give him that fearless attitude? He's ready to go

714
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: to war. He wants to get out there, he wants

715
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: to be ready to go. Then we look at twenty two,

716
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: he laughs at fear and is not dismayed. He does

717
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: not turn back from the sword. These are weapons of war.

718
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: His attitude of courage, it's even reckless. He's so courageous

719
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: it almost borderlines on being reckless. He's not even afraid

720
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: of the fact that he's headed into a war where

721
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: there's weapons. And you know, many times we do know

722
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: this what they would do as a strategy, what they

723
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: cut the horse down, you know, to try to see

724
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: if they couldn't Britain knock that out from under you.

725
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: And so he says he's not even worried about that.

726
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: Twenty three. He laughs at fear. He's not dismayed by

727
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: the sword upon him, rattle, the quiver, the flashing spear

728
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: in the javelin. Look at him, job, look at him.

729
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: There's weapons of war hanging all over his body. He's

730
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: ready to take the rider into war. He's fearless. Look

731
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: at this, he's even excited about it. With fierceness and rage.

732
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: He swallows the ground. He cannot stand still at the

733
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: sound of the trumpet. He's ready to go into war.

734
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: He's restless. They haven't sounded the trumpet yet. He's ready

735
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: to go into war, Jobe, look at this animal that

736
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: I created. I am the creator of this that you see.

737
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: And you know what I think? And and like this

738
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: about the excitement and the charging swiftly, he's you know,

739
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: he's eating up the ground. He can't wait to get there.

740
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: He's he's he's got the sound of the trumpet. When

741
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: when I think about that, the fierceness and rage he

742
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: swallows the ground. Can you see him just grabbing ground,

743
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: just just thundering down there? And and and I think,

744
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: what what happened here? Most likely because of the details,

745
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: and he's using a war horse. This has to be

746
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: something that job has seen before. And I think what

747
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: God is reminding all of us? I mean, I think

748
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: about just Saturday morning when I saw three horses coming

749
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: through the morning fog. I think God is reminding us.

750
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with the first part, but we

751
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: should always add the second instead of saying, wow would

752
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: a horse? Don't be afraid to be reminded. Wow would

753
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: a creator? Wow would a God? Because what I'm seeing,

754
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: and I'm so blown away by, represents a creator. The

755
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 1: horse is nothing without God. The whatever I'm looking at,

756
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: and I'm amazed by him, and all of many times

757
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: you see it happening in our society. We have now

758
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: become in all of the earth, but we're not in

759
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: all of its creator. And there was a time when

760
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: all science started being in all of the Creator, and

761
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: we were eager to let the creator show us how

762
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: he created. But then we decided that the creation and

763
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: the science was more what was more impressive to us

764
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: than the creator, and we took him out of it.

765
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: And he's saying when you see this, because he's probably saying, Job,

766
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: you probably were pretty impressed with this, because you've seen

767
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: this scene before avague and Job is probably thinking about that.

768
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: He goes, did you ever think of me? Did you

769
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: ever think that I did that? And may that be

770
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: something like I love? There's a reason when I when

771
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: I get to go to the land that we have,

772
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: there's a reason I feel closer to God there because

773
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: all the noise is taken away. But I have through

774
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: this study saying, the next time I step on that

775
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: hallowed ground, I'm going to be impressed with what I see.

776
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: But what I see is going to remind me of

777
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: how wonderful God is, not how wonderful a rolling green

778
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: hill might be. What about the one that orchestrated the

779
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: rolling Green Hill. When I'm looking at that, because I

780
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: love hardwoods, y'all have hardwoods, and you're looking at these

781
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: beautiful hardwoods, these trees. I saw hardwood over the weekend

782
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: that it was easily two hundred years old, and it

783
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: just stretched out, and I thought, how long has this

784
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: thing stood here? How many things have happened all around it?

785
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: But it's nothing compared to God. It's only been here

786
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: a few seconds, compared to how long he has been,

787
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: because he has always been twenty five. When the trumpet sounds,

788
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: he says, aha. He smells the battle from Afar, the

789
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: thunder of the captains, and the shouting the sounds. He

790
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: loves the trumpet. He loves the sound of war. He

791
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: loves the sound of battle. He smells it, he hears

792
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: the shouts. Yes, he's domesticated, but this image is powerful.

793
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: This animal. Back to my point, This animal, though domesticated,

794
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: is always on the verge of being out of control.

795
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: The bridle the bit, it's just an arrangement. If that big, old,

796
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: strong son of a gun decides not today, he can

797
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: take you anywhere he wants to go. He's right on

798
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: the verge of being out of control, especially if you

799
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: don't tighten the bit, and he's able to get out

800
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: in front of his teeth. And now you're just pulling

801
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: across the front of his teeth. Be sure it's snug,

802
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: and you might have a chance. This is designed by

803
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: God to cause Job to be an awe all of

804
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: its wonder and respect its impressive sight, so that he

805
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: remembers how impressive God must be. Now we get into

806
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: birds of prey. Is it by your understanding that the

807
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: hawk sores spread, spreads his wings towards the south. I

808
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,959
Speaker 1: love birds of prey, I'm in all they really blow

809
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 1: me away. So this is a type of hawk because

810
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: the reason why he's telling it which way to go?

811
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: Here spreads its wings towards the south. Because when I

812
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: first saw that, I'm like, well, hawks don't migrate where

813
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: I live for Rickia in south buddy. But but also

814
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: this is a type of hawk that he would have

815
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: been familiar with. And uh, and it actually goes to

816
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: the to the south. And in the autumn it's called

817
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: a lesser kestrel k E S t R E L.

818
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: And And what Job had noticed where he lives there

819
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: was a time of year, these particular hawks went back

820
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: to Africa, and so he's saying, did you make the hawk?

821
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: And did you design the hawk where it takes its wings?

822
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, it's time for me to go back

823
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: to Africa. It's about to start getting cooler. Did you

824
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: give him the ability to know when to do that?

825
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: Of course, Joe, no, is it at your command that

826
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high

827
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: You ever seen where eagles make their nests. It's unbelievable

828
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: And he goes, so, job, just with the creation, I

829
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: created this magnificent bird. I saw two bald eagles also

830
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: over the weekend. That's an impressive animal, by the way,

831
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: and their wings span. But you know when they decide

832
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: to go make a dest I mean they're gone as

833
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: high as they can get. And he said, so, can

834
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: can you do that? Job? The eagle, the most common

835
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: bird in the Bible. Did job tell and teach these

836
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: magnificent creatures to do this superhuman feat? It's beyond what

837
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: you can do, is job. Now, there's some things that

838
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: I've designed human beings that are beyond what they can do.

839
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: So you see what I'm talking about. But right now, Job,

840
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you have the ability to fly. I

841
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: don't think you have the ability to soar. I don't

842
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: think you have that ability. Not only do you not

843
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: have that ability, you can't create anything with that ability.

844
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: But I did. When you see that hawk, when you

845
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: see it go toward Africa, you think of me. When

846
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: you see that eagle and you see it soar with

847
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: that magnificent wingspan, and you see it going back up

848
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: to where it nests and doing this effortlessly, I want

849
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: you to be in awe of me instead of being

850
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: all the eagle. And I'd like to know, could you

851
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: make an eagle? Could you make a hawk? Because I did?

852
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: By the way, that is the most common bird we

853
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,479
Speaker 1: hear about in the Bible. He goes. He starts talking

854
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: to Job about this. He says, on the rock he

855
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: dwells and makes his home on the rocky Crag and stronghold.

856
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: He goes there, Job, and he used is a superhuman

857
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: eyesight to find his prey. By the way, Job, the

858
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: super human eyesight, the ability to go up to this

859
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: high place and scan the planes for his prey and

860
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: to see clearly with eyesight that is beyond what you

861
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: have I taught him that. I taught him that I

862
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: created that eyesight, I gave him that ability. I was

863
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: able to do that. Twenty nine. From there he spies

864
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: out the prey his eyes behold it from underline that

865
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: far away job? You realize how far that eagle can see?

866
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: Did you know that I decided the eagle needed to

867
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: see far away so he can Can you can you

868
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: create this bird? And can you can you give it

869
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: that kind of majesty? Can you give it that ability?

870
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: The egle finds its food thirty his young ones suck

871
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: up blood, and where the slain are there is he?

872
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: That's one of the things. Now I want you to

873
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: thinking about how far ahead this was gonna be? Mind

874
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: boggling right now? Do you realize that job Chapter thirty nine,

875
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: verse thirty how far ahead this comment from God is?

876
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: Do you know that it wasn't till just recently. For

877
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: the longest time, there was a belief in the animal

878
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: kingdom from zoologists and all these scientists that eagles only ate,

879
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: pray they killed, that they were not scavengers. We now

880
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: know they are scavengers. As a matter of fact, the

881
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: eagles that I saw Saturday were eating something dead big

882
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: bold bald eagles. You know, gunners was where we brought

883
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: them back in the population. They are all over guns well,

884
00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: and so this is only in recent animal history science said,

885
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: by the way, eagles are scavengers to the Bible told

886
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: you they were a scavenger and job before before we

887
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: agreed with that or saw it for ourselves because people

888
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: for the longest we couldn't get any documentation of them

889
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: eating dead animals. And then we start realizing they'll eat

890
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: something dead just like they will go and catch something alive,

891
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, so really because they were trying to you

892
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: know how we do now that's buzzards, that's that's the

893
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: clean up crew. That's the scavengers, not the majestic eagle.

894
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: The majestic eagle must hunt and kill. The blood must

895
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: be warm, it must be now. And they they they're there,

896
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: they'll go out and take what everything find. Well, well,

897
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: where the slain are there he is so so so

898
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: that also is something that's being shown to us pretty

899
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: early in the Bible. So this is going to conclude

900
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: the first interrogation questions from the cosmos to the coming

901
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: of rain, from the King of Beast to the King

902
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: of the birds, What could Job say? What can anyone say?

903
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: What can anyone say? Can we compare ourselves to God?

904
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: And you think about just the little do you realize that,

905
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: even for our benefit, how much God has to take

906
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: his resume and shorten it of all the things that

907
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: he can say. And to watch how the animal kingdom

908
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: and how creation operates it kind of reminds you and

909
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of affirms again what the apostle Paul said. Nobody

910
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: has an excuse. I mean, who you kidding? You really

911
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: look around at everything and think that this randomly just

912
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: fell into place by happenstance and chance. You know that

913
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: God exists. Everybody knows God exists, if by no other evidence. Creation, Creation,

914
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: Creation screams, look at our magnificent creator. And then when

915
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: this beautiful design you find the flaws now in it.

916
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: Those flaws do not come from the creator. The creator

917
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: did it perfectly. The flaws come from the fallenness of

918
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: creation caused by the entrance of sin when the first

919
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: rebellion took place. And Job is being reminded of it again,

920
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: and you'll see the lesson he's being taught. When we

921
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: finish the first mistake, We as human beings made when

922
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:04,439
Speaker 1: God said, enjoy creation, I will provide all that you need.

923
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: The only arrangement we have is I will decide what

924
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: is right and wrong. I will decide what is good

925
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: and evil. And the deceiver came in and said, shouldn't

926
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: you decide that for yourself? Don't trust him to decide it.

927
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: And we bought that line, and we have to be

928
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: reminded over and over again what a mistake that was.

929
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: Let's pray, Lord, thank you for today, thank you for

930
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: the message, Thank you for just the wonder of you.

931
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: We are in all of you. We respect you, we

932
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: fear you. You're wonderfully scary, but we also take solace.

933
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: And though you are just and you are wrath and

934
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: you are creator, you are also grace. You are also mercy,

935
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: and you are also love. How wonderful you are, and

936
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: how gracious you are to allow us the opportunity to

937
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: make right what we did wrong by pouring your wrath

938
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: out on your innocent son, So that all who are

939
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: willing to repent and own our mistake and say we

940
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: were wrong and you were right, Please forgive us that

941
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: we can be made fully righteous, and we can long

942
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: for the day when you take this creation, as impressive

943
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: as it still is in its fallen state, because you're

944
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: so wonderful that those that you have redeemed will one

945
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: day be back in the garden with you again, and

946
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: we'll see the new heaven and the new Earth that

947
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: will be even beyond what we can see now, because

948
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: it will return to perfection. Oh what a God you are,

949
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: and you and you alone are worthy of worship. And

950
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: though you allow us to enjoy this creation, we are

951
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: much more impressed by its creator and your holy name.

952
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: We pray Amen.
