1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wednesday Bible Study. Thank you for being

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: with us today, and pardon me for the cancelation last week.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: It was unavoidable and I hate when that happens. Adler

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: and I were discussing and Chris Sadler, who produces this

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and works on the day Job with me on the

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Rick Burgess Show. We were looking at our record of

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: a decade of Wednesday Bible studies and we have a

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: ninety plus percent winning record, so we don't cancel many,

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, unless it's vacation or something like that. So

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: that was abnormal. I apologize for that. But as they say,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: many times, life happens, so you can't always predict how

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the day's gonna go. So good to be back. We're

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be in Job chapter forty. We're continuing to

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: hear from you know, God, what he has to say

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: about himself talking to Job. If you missed any of

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: the prior studies of Job, you can gather those archives

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: and really go back to any series that we've done.

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: The archives are available at thechurch dot com. You can

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: either watch the archives. Now there are some limitations there

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: because videos over ten years do eventually go away on YouTube,

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: but the audio files. They stay there so that you

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: can also listen if you're going back to a really

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: older Bible study of different books of the Bible and

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: some commentaries that we've unpacked on the Wednesday Bible studies.

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: So we have been in this book, the Book of Job,

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: for the entire year of twenty twenty five. We are

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: getting near the end, and so if we finish it

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: before our year ends, which will be on December of

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: the nineteenth, we probably will. We'll go ahead and start

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: the next series if time allows, and then just carry

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: that into twenty twenty six. So we are here as

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: part of an ongoing discipleship strategy for men. Even though

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: all over the country on the streaming options, whether it

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: be live or archived, I know that women join us too,

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: and that's fine. We're just studying the Bible right now.

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: But here in the room it's always only men because

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: that's how it started. So the strategy that you can

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: find at Vmanchurch dot com that I just mentioned it

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: is a strategy for a sustainable men's ministry that features

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: high challenge that's been done for decades. We do that

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: in the way of gatherings and conferences, but also we

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: follow with something that has been sorely missing, and that

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: is the high equipping the discipleship, even going as far

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: as providing unique curriculum designed for men. We have six

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: of those. They're forty weeks in link. You can find

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: those by going to the Manchurch dot com. We also

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: have individual resources for men for their own time. These

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: are thirty one day devotionals forty day devotionals. We have

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: a full length book that I have just written this

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: year called Men Don't Run in the Rain, So find

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: all those at Vmanchurch dot com. As a matter of fact,

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: if you're catching this during the time we recorded it,

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: which we're getting near Christmas, if you want to sign

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: copy of Men Don't Run in the Rain, use that

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: link at the Manchurch dot com and you can get

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: those up to December the sixteenth of twenty twenty five.

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: So let's open up in a word of prayer and

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: let's jump right in to Job chapter forty. Lord, thank

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: you for today, Thank you for the opportunity to unpack

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: your Holy Word. Thank You for the things that we

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: continue to learn through this historic moment with Job. In

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the glorious name of Jesus, we ask to guide us

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: through the Holy Spirit, to discern what you intend for

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: us to discern. To hear from you now just in

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: your resume, but hear from you right now and your

66
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Holy name, we pray Amen. So here we go. God

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: has been giving his resume something real interesting, well, a

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: couple of real interesting things are going to happen in

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: chapter forty. I found this remarkable studying this. Even though

70
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I've been through the Book of Job, I had never

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: gone through the Book of Job word for word. So

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm in learning a lot in this journey like the

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: rest of you have. So God has started his resume

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: with the job. He has been talking, you know, a

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: little bit in thirty nine. He hits all these various animals.

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: We covered that last week. So but he makes a

77
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: turn as he starts this this next part, and I

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: want you to pick up on something and then we're

79
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: gonna get to another example of creation. And it's a

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: very often discussed all kinds of theories on what this

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: creature is, what does it represent. I'll tell you some

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: of the theories. I'll tell you frankly, and I'm sure

83
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: you're just waiting on the edge of your seat on

84
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: what Rick has to say about it. But I will say, frankly,

85
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I find a couple of the theories to be they're preposterous.

86
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they got a real problem by calling this

87
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: creature creatures that we see now, because the disc ription

88
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: would not match. And I don't know how it's gained

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: so much ground. But the two animals that are often referenced,

90
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: it just doesn't stand up. So I don't know what

91
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: this creature is. But we'll talk about some of the

92
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: theories and we'll kind of together see if we can't

93
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: discern the ones that maybe have a little more merit

94
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: and the ones that don't have much merit at all.

95
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: So anyway, but that's not what we're gonna do. To

96
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: begin with, the Lord said to Job chapter forty, verse one.

97
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: This is just saying that he's not talking to his

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: friends right now. He's not. They're there because he is

99
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: going to address them before he's done, but he's not

100
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: right now. The Bible wants us to know. And the

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Lord said to Job. The Lord said to Job, not

102
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: to them, but he said to Job. This is very

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: similar to chapter thirty eight, verse one. But this time

104
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: you notice, even though it's going to come back, but

105
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: right now there's no mention of the whirlwin there wasn't

106
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight one. There's no mention of the whirlwind here.

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know whether he lets the whirlwind die down,

108
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: because it cranks back up here in a minute. But

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the Lord says to Job verse two, Now, shall a

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: fault finder contend with the almighty? He who argues with God?

111
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Let him answer it. So this doesn't require a lot

112
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: of commentary. The Lord says to Job, do you intend,

113
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: because I want to get this right, do you actually

114
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: intend on correcting the Almighty? Now? I want you to

115
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: think about that for a minute, because we kind of gasp.

116
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I see some of you gasping rightfully, so, but I

117
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: be careful because you may not directly do this, and

118
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: I may not directly do this. But I wonder if

119
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: we were brutally honest at some of the times of

120
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: our life that we didn't like some of the things

121
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: that we find ourselves in that, whether we do it

122
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: directly like Job did or indirectly, how many times have

123
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: you found yourself if you really really thought about what

124
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: you were doing, and thought about what you were thinking,

125
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: and thought about what you were saying, that you are

126
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: trying to correct the almighty. I you know, I'm I'm

127
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of a battle right now, and

128
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all, and uh and I

129
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: don't I don't like It's one of these things too.

130
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever had difficulties in your

131
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: life and you got through the other side of it

132
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: and you thought, I'm done with that. You know, I

133
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: learned everything I need to learn. So I guess that'll

134
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: be that that's a one off in my life. And

135
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, some years go by and all of a

136
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: sudden you kind of find yourself back in and again

137
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, kind of thought, we were done with

138
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: that kind of thought. I learned everything I needed to learn.

139
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: And I will tell you just as he's doing with Job.

140
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: And there's two things that are going on. See this

141
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: with Job too, is that we have not found anywhere

142
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: in God's resume that he thinks he's overreacted, he thinks

143
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: he's too harsh on Job. You don't see any of that.

144
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: I was talking about back in thirty eight and was

145
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: actually talking to my wife about this too, and talking

146
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: with a friend yesterday about this. I said, thirty eight

147
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: is a little bit rough because you think Job has

148
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: been through hell on Earth. I mean, he is beat down,

149
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: and God shows up to speak to him directly, and

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: he shows up in a whirlwind like we did talk about,

151
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: which a whirlwind killed as kids. And you never hear

152
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: God saying are you okay? Has this been hard? Maybe

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: I overreacted? Let me coddle you, let me pet you

154
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, let me comfort you. Now does does

155
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: God comfort as he does? But I'm just talking about

156
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: in this situation, he doesn't come on this. He doesn't

157
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: even ask Job how he's doing. What he says is

158
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: who are you to question me? And he comes in

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: a whirlwind, which, frankly, in our society, most people would

160
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: say that's insensitive. Don't you think that triggers Job back

161
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to his grief? And I think God would say, I

162
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: know exactly that it's triggering him back to his grief.

163
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: But I don't want them to understand that. You don't

164
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: question me about that. Whatever I do is right. And

165
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: so now he's coming back and saying, do you do

166
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you intend to correct me? Do you think I've been

167
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: too hard on you? For me? Right now? The Lord

168
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: would say, so, do you what you don't? You don't

169
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: want to go through this again. So are you saying

170
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: that that I'm being unreasonable by allowing you to go

171
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: through a trial again. And then the thing that I

172
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: have to think about is, as I've said it a

173
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: thousand times, the reason why trials keep coming in our

174
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: lives because remember, we don't have anything to do other

175
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: with repentance. As far as our justification, we can't justify ourselves,

176
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: and we have no ability to glorify ourselves, which is

177
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: yet to come. But we participate in the sanctification. We're

178
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: participating in that. As he begins to take that sin

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: nature that's still there, and as we begin to feed

180
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: that spirit, he begins to take that sin nature, and

181
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: he deals with it, and he grinds it, and he

182
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: continues to refine us and produce steadfastness. And one of

183
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: the most effective ways he does that is through trials.

184
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: I was talking to a brother, you know, the trial

185
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: that I'm going through now, and he was like, I said, well,

186
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: let me just tell you something. I said, you know,

187
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I ranked satan. I've told you that

188
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not that important. But but the adversary's cronies, the

189
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: demonic forces, I said, it's just so foolish to watch them.

190
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: They're always so foolish, I said, because they're not. They

191
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: can't seem to figure out what God, God knows, And

192
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: that is the best thing they could do to somebody

193
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: like me is just leave me alone, because then my

194
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: apathy would produce much less impact than the benefit of

195
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: the trials. Will I'll have more impact through the trials

196
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: than I would have had if they just left me alone,

197
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: because see, the trials forced me back to God and

198
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: forced me back at his feet, and my self reliance

199
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: is destroyed. And then I'm so leaning on God that

200
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: I begin to abide in his power and he begins

201
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: to produce something in me that only a trial was

202
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: going to produce. So once again, they just don't learn.

203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: They keep playing into God's hands, I mean. And so

204
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: the question I would ask, would that be the case

205
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: with all of us? Is is that something? Do you

206
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: resent a trial? Certainly you don't have to enjoy them.

207
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I'm not enjoying this, But do

208
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: you resent it? Can you? Can you flip over and

209
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: say no, I'm not gonna correct you. I'm not saying

210
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing. I understand you know

211
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I'm asking you to just see me

212
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: through it and make sure I learn everything I'm supposed

213
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: to learn. Why do we have so many trials? Because

214
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: they work, they're effective, and that's why God says, So

215
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: do you think I overreacted here? You think I owe

216
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: you an apology? I mean you're going to correct me.

217
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: And so then we see in verses three through five,

218
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: this is Job's first time to try to stop all this.

219
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Now here's where we're going to get in our first

220
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: really deep point this week that I've just been stoked about. Okay,

221
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: look right here. Then Job answered the Lord and said,

222
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: now now don't underline the lord here. So this is

223
00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: Job's first he's considering repentance right now. But but he

224
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: he is, he's he's using the word here that that

225
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: that is not going to represent repentance. Now later we

226
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: are gonna see it. I don't want to give away

227
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: the end. But in verse three, the same as elsewhere,

228
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: but this time Job is addressing God as yahweh. So

229
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: you see there's a move. Now, what does yahweh mean?

230
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: The Lord? Okay, he's calling him yahweh right here. He

231
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't done that the whole time when referencing God.

232
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: This time he refers to him as the Lord. Now

233
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: look look at foward. Behold, I am of small account?

234
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: What shall I answer you? Starting to kind of get it?

235
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: What is it? If you look at the words here,

236
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: here's what it says. This word means I'm unworthy. It

237
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: means in Hebrew, I'm light in weight. I don't account

238
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: for much to be questioning you. Also, you will see

239
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: he says here, behold, I'm small, of small account. What

240
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: shall I answer you? You're also seeing here that that

241
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: you're seeing a submission here that uh that that he

242
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: that that men you know also used to have this

243
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: feeling about job. He's saying, compared to you, I don't

244
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm not of any standing. I'm I'm light in weight,

245
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't have any influence. I was a big deal

246
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: here in my community, But now that you've shown up,

247
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: I ain't a big deal to you at all. Little

248
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Calhoun County commentary for you there, Okay, So now watch next.

249
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember him referencing this when he was talking

250
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: about the way his life you was, it was before

251
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: he was suffering. Remember this he used this line, and

252
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: then he says, next, he said, I lay my hand

253
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: on my mouth. You remember that when he was doing

254
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: he was referring to the glory days. Man, in my

255
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: glory days, men would put their hands over their mouth

256
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: to speak ill of me. Well, now he takes his

257
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: hand and puts it over his mouth to speak ill

258
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: of the Lord. And you think, man, he's gonna get it.

259
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: He's about to do it. But then watch this. I

260
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: have spoken once and I will not answer twice, but

261
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: I will proceed no further. Now you've got to kind

262
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: of understand the culture there. What's happening here. This is

263
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: a formula of ancient Hebrew and it basically what this means,

264
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: they would say, you know, they would use a formula

265
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: that X plus whatever I've said too much, I've run

266
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: my mouth too much is what this means. I've spoken

267
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: one too many times and I'm going to start backing out. Now.

268
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Remember Job is realizing that he out talked to all

269
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: his friends every time they went after him, and Job

270
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: would debate them, he would out talk them. But in

271
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: the presence of God, Job is realizing that he is dumbfounded.

272
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I can't out talk the allmighty Okay, So right there,

273
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: we think job's trying to stop it. He's telling the Lord,

274
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: I got it, ram my mouth too much, shouldn't have

275
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: done it. But it doesn't stop the interrogation. Why this

276
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: is big? Why all he does is regret it. He's

277
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: not repenting, and God's waiting on repentance. But there is

278
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: no repentance here. There's this regret. Now, let that simmer.

279
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: You realize that I remember a lot of times in

280
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: my life that I regretted what I did, but I

281
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: didn't repent of it. And so God saying regrets not enough.

282
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: The interrogation must continue now because you're just regretting it.

283
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: We're getting there, but we're not there. I'm looking for repentance.

284
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: You remember what the Lord said when God became a

285
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: man and he came on the scene, and what did

286
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: he preach? John the Baptist was preaching it. And as

287
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: soon as he is as soon as he looked up

288
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: and said, here's the guy, this is the Messiah. We've

289
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: been waiting on repent because the Kingdom of God is

290
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: at hand. Jesus comes on the scene. It's almost like

291
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: the Western Church has forgotten this, and he begins to

292
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: preach what repent or perish all must repent. And the

293
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: only way your repentance will aren't will will be good

294
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: enough is you repent, and then I take over your life,

295
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to the cross to pay the price,

296
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: so that repentance will take You must repent to me. Why,

297
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: Because I'm God. I become your lord, and then I'll

298
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: go to the cross and I'll become your savior, and

299
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: then I'll bring you into the presence of Holy, Holy, Holy,

300
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: fully righteous. But what must happen first? We must repent,

301
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: not just regret, because you know what regret might be.

302
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: I'll give you a perfect example. I know we got

303
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: little leaders in here, so I'll be calm, okay, But

304
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: but this is such a simple one to understand. When

305
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: when a man compromises his purity and he's intimate with

306
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: a woman that is not his wife, he might not

307
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: regret it, but if he finds out she's with child,

308
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: then he regrets it. But that's not repentance. That's just

309
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: I wish I hadn't done that now. But there's no repentance,

310
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: there's no there's no look what I did to God,

311
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: it's I regret what I did because it produced a

312
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: bad outcome. That's now got me in a and and

313
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: a tight. Well, that's not repentance, that's just regret. And

314
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: so right now Joe regrets running his mouth, but he

315
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: hasn't repentant. So hang on to that. That's big. I

316
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: hope that's a big takeaway for you. It was for me.

317
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: So and if you don't believe me, look what the

318
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Lord does next. And the Lord Lord answered job, out

319
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: of the whirlwind. We cranking the wind back up. So

320
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: that's not the answer God's looking for. Job wants him

321
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: to stop. He thinks I got it. I've learned my lesson.

322
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: So the whirlwind cranks back up again. Very insensitive if

323
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: you believe what people say. But apparently sometimes somebody telling

324
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: the truth isn't insensitive. It's just the truth. And so

325
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: the Lord answered job by the whirlwind, and he says,

326
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: does this sound familiar. We're going back to thirty eight again,

327
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: dressed for action like a man. I will question you

328
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: and make it known, and you make it known to me.

329
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: So he's turning around on Job right now in a

330
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: confrontation about his statements concerning divine justice and that God

331
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: was apathetic and uninvolved in the administration of the world.

332
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen. So seven is the same

333
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: as thirty eight three. The second interrogation is now underway,

334
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna start challenging this defense that Job

335
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: has that somehow God doesn't even care what's going on.

336
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: So look look at it. You remember when he said that,

337
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: will you even put me in the wrong? Will you

338
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: condemn me that you may be in the right? Have

339
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: you said that I am unjust? I was listening it

340
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: sounded like you were saying that I am unjust? Are

341
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: you saying that? Are you saying that I the Almighty

342
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: am unjust? And you know what he's saying after it?

343
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: Surely not. Now you would think, well, he just said

344
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: he regretted over speaking. But he regretted it, we didn't

345
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: repent of it, and so God is going to continue. Nine.

346
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Have you an arm like God? And can you thunder?

347
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: With a voice like his? Talking to himself in third person?

348
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Talking about himself a third person? And you know what

349
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: this really is. He is just saying to Job, do

350
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: you compare to me? Are you as strong as I am?

351
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: Is your voice like thunder? These are all these rhetorical

352
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: questions that God loves to do. Of course, we know

353
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: the answer, and then we get into ten. Now this

354
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: is interesting. Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity, clothe yourself

355
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: with glory and splendor. Now what God's about to start

356
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: here in verse ten is He's going to start four

357
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: things that human beings might do to bring some sort

358
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: of glory to themselves, only to come to the conclusion

359
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: that only God does this effectively. You may try down there.

360
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: You think you're a big deal. You think you can

361
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 1: elevate yourself with adorning yourself with majesty and dignity and

362
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: clothe yourself with glory and splendor. You try to make

363
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: a big deal out of yourself. But it's pathetic to

364
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: me because you're trying to be me. And when you

365
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: do this, it's silly on what you're attempting to do

366
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: as a human. Only I do these things efficiently. Only

367
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: I do them effectively. Only I truly can adorn myself

368
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: with majesty. Only I can adorn myself with dignity. Only

369
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: I clothe myself with glory and splendor. All of you

370
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: kings and people that put all this stuff on, I'm

371
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: laughing at that. You ever see some of the stuff

372
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: that royals do the sovereign What a statement? Wow, putting

373
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: on the crowns and all this stuff, and God's like

374
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: y'are trying so hard to do what only I can do?

375
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: And so he goes, can you really just adopt glory

376
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: and splendor? No Verse eleven? Pour out the overflowings of

377
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: your anger and look on everyone who is proud in

378
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: the basin? Can you do that? Job? Can you? Can

379
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: you hand down the type of wrath that I do?

380
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: Can can you humble the proud? Joe twelve? Look on

381
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread

382
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: down the wicked where they stand. So that's a direct

383
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: quote against Joe because he's saying, so you say that

384
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I let the wicked go unpunished. I heard you say it.

385
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: And should should you be in charge of that? Sho?

386
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Should I let you handle that? Do you want to

387
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: start deciding what should happen to this person and what

388
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: should happen to that person? You want to make the

389
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: call on that job? Because I heard you say that

390
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: I just let the wicked go unpunished. You find all

391
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: the proud and can can you declare correctly job? Who's

392
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: truly wicked? And who's truly good and decide who should

393
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: be punished. When can you really do all that? Because

394
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: what we do And I just had a conversation about

395
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: somebody a minute with somebody a minute ago. And it's

396
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: one of the things that I think God is working

397
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: out in me at this stage of my life, and

398
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: that is I'm getting to the point now and he's

399
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: really accomplishing this. I just don't need to be vindicated

400
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: to people. You know, I know what the truth is,

401
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: and this desire that, oh my goodness, I must be vindicated.

402
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: I must be vindicated. I must be vindicated. And so

403
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: what he is saying is job. I mean, you don't

404
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: really have any idea what I'm doing. This person may

405
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: it may look like they're not being punished, but in

406
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: the end, I will punish them if they don't repent.

407
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: And over here you may think this person's great, but

408
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: I see their heart. They're really not good at all.

409
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: And I know that. So why don't you just trust

410
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: that I know what I'm doing and stop making these

411
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: proclamations that I'm not doing it right. And you know,

412
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: I remember my dad saying this. He said, I always

413
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: thought it was an exaggeration when I heard people say that,

414
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, when we all stand before God, you know

415
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: this and that and he goes. But the more I

416
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: get to know people, I really do think that some

417
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: of these idiots, if they can get it out of

418
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: their mouth, I don't think we can. But I think

419
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: they would tell God he didn't know what he was doing.

420
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: I think they would say, you didn't do it right.

421
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: And now because remember we talk about you remember and

422
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: I forget what study was on what study was it

423
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: on that we unpacked the gnashing of teeth? And then uh,

424
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about all the things in hell and

425
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: the anguish and all this and and and you know that.

426
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: And what that is is that Jesus was saying, in hell,

427
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: they will be some people that will be They'll be

428
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: an anguish, they'll be crying, they'll be mourning the fact

429
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: that they rejected Jesus. But but yeah, but the grinding

430
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: of the teeth, Yeah, that was it. The grinding of

431
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: the teeth. That's not them, those that grind their teeth.

432
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: They're furious that God had the audacity to send them

433
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: to hell, and they're still claiming that they didn't deserve it.

434
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so he's he's trying to clarify this

435
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: with Job. By the way, everybody in the sound of

436
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: my voice, including the teacher, we all deserve to go

437
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: to hell. The remarkable thing is that if we've been redeemed,

438
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get what we deserve, but we all

439
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: deserve it. So when compared to God, which by the way,

440
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Job is gonna get there before we're done. I hate

441
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: to give away the ending thirteen. Hide them all in

442
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: dust together, bind their faces in the world below. There's

443
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: the big one. So let me ask you, Job, are

444
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: you ready to bury them? And then here's the thing.

445
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: When they're buried, Job, here's what I do. I don't

446
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: just bury people, y'all. Let y'all do that. I do

447
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: something bigger. I decide their eternity. You're gonna take charge

448
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: of that because that's what I do. I decide their attornity.

449
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think you can do that. Fourteen. Then

450
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I will also acknowledge to you that you that your

451
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: on right hand can save you. I'm gonna let I'm

452
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: gonna let you, okay, Job, I'm gonna turn it over

453
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: to you. Have you ever? Have you ever? Just sometimes

454
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: when somebody thinks what you do is easy, and you

455
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: just say, let me toss you the keys for a

456
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: day or two and see how it goes. And what

457
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: and what and what God is saying right there is?

458
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: Will't we just make you lord and savior? Let you

459
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: handle it? Do you do you think you can handle

460
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing? Why do I tell you what? Joe,

461
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: Let's start with the first one. Let me tell you

462
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: why you can't be Lord and savior. Joe, you can't

463
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: even save yourself. You think you can save the world.

464
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: You can't even save yourself. Because remember Jesus made it

465
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: real clear when he was going to the Cross that

466
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things about him were unique. And what

467
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: was the most unique. Nobody takes my life from me.

468
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: If I didn't want them to have it, they couldn't

469
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: have it. I am in charge. I'm in charge all

470
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the way to the cross. There's never a time to

471
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: the Cross that I wasn't in control. I lay down

472
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: my life and what and I'll raise it up again.

473
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: Not only have I got to submit to an earthly death,

474
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: I have the ability to raise myself from the grave. Joe,

475
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: can you do that? Because Joe again is feeling a

476
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: little rough right now. And then God he turns and

477
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: here we go. So God now will turn and he says,

478
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to go back to show you some things

479
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: that I did, and I got a biggie for you.

480
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: And then he says, to Job, behold Beamuth. So we've

481
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: got either Benmouth or Behemoth. I say behemoth, but I

482
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: heard it pronounced both ways as I look. So behemoth

483
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: really really starts a lot of conversations and commentaries, as

484
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: you can imagine. So first of all, let's just start

485
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: with the first two words. Is God saying behold behemoth?

486
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Because this is important and I don't know the answer, sorry,

487
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: but we can speculate as long as week knowledge. We're speculating.

488
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Is he saying behold Job Behemoth because he's seen it before,

489
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: or is he saying behold Behemoth something Job had never seen.

490
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: That's the question. Because I got to tell you, I

491
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: do not believe that the theory of Behemoth being a

492
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: hippo and Behemoth being an elephant stands up. It's got

493
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: some problems and we'll get to them. Those two theories

494
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: have got some real problems. So we do know the

495
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: archaeological record, the fossil record, seems to indicate that at

496
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: one time on this earth, whenever that was, there were

497
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: some really large creatures that walked around. Now, the word

498
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: dinosaur didn't come along on till much later. That's what

499
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: we call them now. So if you think about and again,

500
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: I understand that some of these fossils we have are

501
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: incomplete and we've kind of filled in some blanks. Crushed

502
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: me because it's a little boy. I love playing with dinosaurs,

503
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: and when I found out that really some of these

504
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: are speculation that they look this way, it killed me.

505
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: But because some of the fossil records are just incomplete,

506
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: so we're filling in some blanks here. But we do

507
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: know they were big because the bones are big and

508
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: all that. So it's this creature commentaries say, hippo elephant

509
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: dinosaur or is it a mythical creature that was not

510
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: even a real creature? Those are the those are the

511
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: theories that are out there. So let's uh, let's let's

512
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: have some fun with this. So let's take a look

513
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: at the creature. Behold behemoth, which I made as you

514
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: and I created human beings. But look over here, I

515
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: created this too. Now we've already heard some of this

516
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: in God's resume about animals, but I won't say. He's

517
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: saying that Behemoth was a really big deal. So he

518
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: eats grass like an ox. Now what he's saying, there,

519
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: take a look at this creation? Job? Does Job look

520
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: at that and his time period and go, oh, yeah,

521
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: I've seen one of those. Or is he's seeing something

522
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: God is showing him from a time that Job didn't

523
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: know about. But yet God did create this, Job just

524
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: never seen one. So anyway, it says, I made this

525
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: just like you, but it eats grass like an ox.

526
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Now that tells me in my own opinion, and others

527
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: agree that he hasn't seen it before because things are

528
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: having to be explained to him about it. And he's saying,

529
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: this is something that I made, just like everything else

530
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: I made. And it's almost like Job would be surprised

531
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: to hear that it eats grass, because when he looks

532
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: at it, he's like, man, this thing and he's like,

533
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: by the way, this eats grass like an ox, almost

534
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: like Job be going, really, I thought this thing was

535
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: about to devour everything in its sight. So he tells

536
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: him that he wants him to know that, and then

537
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: he's wanting him to notice the strength of this creature. Sixteen. Behold,

538
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: his strength is in his loins and his power in

539
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: the muscles of his belly. So you're starting to kind

540
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: of get a vision here, and so just look job

541
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: at its strength. And he's gonna talk more about his strength,

542
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: but he's starting this Seventeen. Here's where hippo and elephant

543
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: have a real problem. And some people just double down

544
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: on this like it's hippo or elephant. But you have

545
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: to ignore this verse. This is this is problematic. I've

546
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: seen an elephant. I've seen an elephant in the wild.

547
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a female elephant charged the jeep I was

548
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: in to scare us away from her baby. And you

549
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: know what, I said to the god, it's working. You

550
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: ever seen that's a big creature. And mama was knocking

551
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: down trees like they were twigs, you know, making dust,

552
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: throwing them ears around, and she wanted us to leave,

553
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: and I suggested to the god, I'd like to see

554
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: us go, and uh, she don't want us around here.

555
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: So I've seen a hippo too, which, by the way,

556
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: the most dangerous animal I've ever been around, kills more

557
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: humans than anything else in in Africa. Okay, So, but

558
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: I've got a problem with this because I've seen both

559
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: of them. Even if you haven't seen them live, you

560
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: probably have seen them, you know, in on documentaries. He

561
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: makes his tail stiff like a cedar, a cedar. You

562
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: ever seen an elephant's tail or hippo any very big

563
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: at all? It's tiny and and and that and and

564
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: and and it says. The sinews of his thighs are

565
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: knit together, his bones are too, ubes of bronze, his

566
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: limbs like bars of iron. Now I understand, hang with me,

567
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: because some of you are saying, well, Rick, what if

568
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: it was a small tail, but he could make it

569
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: just really really hard, stick it out. Hang on, that's

570
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: still got a problem coming. Okay, So this is this

571
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: feeling a little more like a serapod than it is

572
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: a hippo or an elephant. That's your bronizsauruss, your different sources.

573
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: And so he's got massive strength. In eighteen he is

574
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's mighty. Okay, his bones or tubes of bronze,

575
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: his limbs like bars of iron. Now catch this. Nineteen

576
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: he is the first of the works of God. Let

577
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: who made him bring near his sword. Now don't get

578
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: this in a chronological deal, because that's not what the

579
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: Hebrew is here. He's not saying this is one of

580
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: the first things I ever created. He's not saying that.

581
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: What he's saying is it's it's the mightiest thing I

582
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: ever created. It is the mightiest of the things I've created.

583
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: It is gargantuan, It is powerful, and it is impressive.

584
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: It is it is like, you know, it'd be one

585
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: of those things where you kind of bring everybody out here,

586
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: come all my animals, here's the things I created, and

587
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: you kind of save behemoth and you go. And now

588
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: now now here comes the headliner. Okay, that's what he

589
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: means by this. He's really looking at job, going, how

590
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: about that look I created This is like I created you,

591
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: and so it's among the mighty works of God. This

592
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: is not chronological. Now we get a little poetic here

593
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: in twenty for the mountains yield food for him, where

594
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: all the wild beast play. It's just it's just a

595
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: way to say that he feeds on the grassy hills

596
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: as well, and it needs a lot of room because

597
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: this is where the other animals run and frolic, and

598
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: he will eat that twenty one under the lotus plants.

599
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: He lies in the shelter of the reeds and in

600
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: the marsh, really feeling kind of Bronosaurus light. The lotus

601
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: is a shrub, and the swamps and the marshes twenty

602
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: two for his shade. The lotus trees cover him. The

603
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: willows of the brook surround him. So this is bringing

604
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: populars in. This is near the rivers there in the

605
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: Middle East. This is all things that Job would have

606
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: been familiar with. And then let's look at this and

607
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: again we're gonna have some issues here because it says, behold,

608
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: if the river is turbulent, he is not frightened. He

609
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: is confident. Though the Jordan rushes against his mouth. He

610
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: saying he's so big and he is so powerful that

611
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: the moving currents of a river are nothing to him.

612
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: He's needed. It's like a flies. I mean, it can't

613
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: even move him. There's nothing there. So the Jordan here,

614
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: they think maybe a generic term here in the Hebrew

615
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: that they refer to that as just really a river,

616
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: because most people believe, based on the other things here,

617
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: that this creature was was was in the Nile River,

618
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: not the Jordan River. But again that's that's speculation. And

619
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: then he gets to the end and he says, can

620
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: one take him by his eyes or pierce his nose

621
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: with a snare? Joe, let me look, now that you've

622
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: checked out checked out, old big fellow, here, I'm gonna

623
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: ask you something. You think you can bring this thing in?

624
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: You think why it's looking at you, it can see you.

625
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: You think you could just approach it and put a

626
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: ring through its nose and lead it around like you

627
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: would do livestock on a farm. Of course, Joe knows

628
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: he can't do it. So if this creature it's not

629
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: a hippo, and it's not an elephant, and frankly, I

630
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: just don't think it is. It doesn't seem to. It's

631
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: got a few similarities. But I think the tail is

632
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: an issue. The sheer size of it is an issue.

633
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: Elephants will go in and bathe in water, but they

634
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: don't live in water. The hippo does. But now the

635
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: hippo has got a real tidy tail. I actually tend

636
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: to believe that this is a dinosaur, what we call

637
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: a dinosaur when we're dinosaurs here. I don't know the

638
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: answer to that. There's a number of theories. But I

639
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: do think that that Job, and we got another one

640
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: next week, that is some sort of sea creature. So

641
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: when did this happen? Is God showing Job something from

642
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: the past that he created? Is it something that Job

643
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: solved during his day. I think the latter has some

644
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: problems because it's almost like Job is seeing this for

645
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: the first time, even though he had seen a horse,

646
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: and a horse was also described in great detail like this.

647
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: So what do we do as people who believe that

648
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: the Bible is the there's no error in the Word

649
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: of God, what do we do with dinosaurs? I think

650
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: we have one here and we probably have another one

651
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: next week too, that He's added to all the things

652
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: he created. You know, there's a number of theories about that,

653
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: and I know some of this I'll get a huge

654
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: pushback on, especially from my friends at Answers and Genesis,

655
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: who I have great respect for. I don't necessarily agree that,

656
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: and I've heard the explanation and I still don't. I

657
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: don't know how old Earth is. I have no idea.

658
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: I'd be real careful tying the age of the Earth

659
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: to the existence of God and the Gospel being true

660
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: or not. There's some people who do answers and Genesis,

661
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: they do. They believe it's young Earth, young Earth only,

662
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: and if it's not young Earth, that we've got some

663
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: kind of biblical problem. Six thousand years or so. I

664
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with that because I think we're trying

665
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: to put God in a box on how old the

666
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Earth is. Because I think where we're getting the young Earth,

667
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying I'm not young Earth, I don't

668
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: know the answer. I think you've got to be careful

669
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: with how old, how long the earth has been here,

670
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: and how long humans have been here. I think that's

671
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: where the rub is. I think that's where the tension is.

672
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: If you want to say human beings have been around

673
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: for about six thousand years, I think that's a good run. Now,

674
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: do I believe that the way we date things and

675
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: fossils is accurate? I don't. Carbon dating has got all

676
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: kinds of flaws in it. But carbon dating, as I

677
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: remember Bubba trying to help me to understand this. You know,

678
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: he's brilliant when it comes to science and everything, and

679
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: he said, Rick, this would be like you saying you're

680
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: going to measure the distance from Birmingham, Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia,

681
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: and you take out a ruler and you just keep

682
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: flipping it on its end all the way from Birmingham

683
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: all the way to Atlanta. To say that's the distance.

684
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: There'd be a lot of error in that. And uh,

685
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: so which I thought was a great analogy at least

686
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: when I could understand. And so, is it possible, I'm

687
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: not saying that this is it. Is it possible that

688
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: dinosaurs were part of creation before human beings, that the

689
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: earth without form has been around for a long long time.

690
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: We do know that when creation starts in Genesis, something's

691
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: already been here, you know, And we don't know that that.

692
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: We don't know the distance of years between Genesis one

693
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: and Genesis two, the first two verses we didn't We

694
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know how long that is. And we know that

695
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: it was, you know, without form. We know that darkness

696
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: was over the water. Uh. And then God starts to

697
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: let there be light and here we go. So there's

698
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: even a theory that uh, the Noah flood because that's

699
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: where sometimes dinosaurs have an issue, uh, and its answers

700
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: in Genesis tries to solve that by saying that dinosaurs

701
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: were here and they were put on the arc as

702
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 1: babies juveniles, so you wouldn't need, you know, the size

703
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: to put a behemoth on it. That would be a

704
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: full grown dinosaur. I think where we got a little

705
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: bit of problem with that is if you know animals,

706
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: they grow pretty fast, uh and uh. And we're floating

707
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: around a good while there with juvenile dinosaurs in there,

708
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: they could get a lot bigger, a lot quicker. And

709
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's not right. I'm not I'm just

710
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I tend to believe that the reason

711
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: why we have disagreements with the age of the Earth

712
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: is that we're trying to make the dinosaur fossil record

713
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: fit the human record, and I'm not sure they fit.

714
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: I tend to think that God is showing job something

715
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: that he has never seen, but he is acknowledging that

716
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: I did create dinosaurs and they were here. But were

717
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: they here when humans were here? I don't think we

718
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: know the answer to that, And I think we tend

719
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: to pick one of the others so we can justify

720
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: how oh we think the Earth is. So in my opinion,

721
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: Old Earth and New Earth are no indicator of God's existence,

722
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: and the and the reliability of scripture. Some people do.

723
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're emailing me next week and I

724
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: look forward to that. Uh but but but so here's

725
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: what I think I'm I'm real confident with. I'm very

726
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: confident that God is showing him in my opinion, and

727
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: that's all. It is. A dinosaur, not a hippo, not

728
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: an elephant. I don't think they'll stand up mythical creature.

729
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that stands up either. But I will

730
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: tell you this. When I stand before God and he

731
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: go and he says to me, hey, birds, and not

732
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: shot at the bohemoth. You missed it badly. Uh you know.

733
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: And and that's okay. I mean, it's not gonna change

734
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: my situation with God. Uh. What he's, what he's, What

735
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: this is isn't the point as much as it's it's it's

736
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: it's God trying to get Job to the place that

737
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: he does get him by showing the distance between a

738
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: pitiful human being the creed in the Creator. He's really saying, Job,

739
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: I've even created things that would stomp you. I mean,

740
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: you have you have no right to question me. I

741
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: am all knowing. I have always been and you have not.

742
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: And so then you have to get to the point

743
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: where you're saying, so God is in control the whole way.

744
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: Yes he is. And God has taken a man that

745
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: is blameless and upright, and he has caused him and

746
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: allowed both. That's another thing we got to come off of. Okay,

747
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: And you've heard me preach this before and teach it.

748
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: Some of y'all knew you. We've got to come off

749
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: this afraid to say caused. God absolutely causes calamity. And

750
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: then there's times he allows calamity. But to say aloud

751
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: and never never, can't quite you two squeamish to say caused.

752
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: Don't make me go back to I can flip over

753
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: to Samuel right now and show you real quick. And

754
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: I've had to do this with even friends before. The

755
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: baby that died, the first one conceived in adultery with

756
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: David and Bethsheba. It says that God killed the baby.

757
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: It didn't say he allowed the baby to die. Didn't

758
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: say allowed the devil to kill the baby. It says

759
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: that he made the baby sick, so he caused it. Okay,

760
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: So that and whatever he does is right. David also says,

761
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: even though that happened, what when they told him the

762
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: baby was dead, that he didn't grieve anymore. He put

763
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: his clothes on, after he got a bath, he started

764
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: eating again. And when they said, why are you why

765
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: is this reaction? You haven't eaten, you haven't bathed, you

766
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: haven't done anything, he said, Well, I was praying for

767
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,479
Speaker 1: the baby to be saved, he said, But the Lord

768
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: has spoken and I will go to the baby. But

769
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: the baby's not coming back to me means what? And

770
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: you're going to see at the end with job, God

771
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: does the very same thing. I can't wait to show

772
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: it to you if you've never seen it involving his children.

773
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: But see, we tend to think and I've been through it,

774
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: and the death of a child is stay with you

775
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. There's no getting rid of it.

776
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: And you'll have times that you're managing it. You'll have

777
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: time that you're completely good with it, and you'll have

778
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: times that it comes back and it's beating you down again. Okay,

779
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: it just doesn't ever go away. But the beauty of it,

780
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: it's like for those of you that have done the military,

781
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: or you're someone who tries to do these kind of

782
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: workouts where you can say I'm going to go for

783
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: a run, and that's beneficial. But then you put on

784
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: the weighted vest and put a little weight on you,

785
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,959
Speaker 1: and then the runs even more beneficial because you're caring

786
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: a little more weight. It produces steadfastness, It refines us,

787
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: it grows us. But what I think we say is, well,

788
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm upset about this because I don't have my child,

789
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: whatever person, I don't have them here with me. And

790
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: what we need to understand is to get to the

791
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: point that God is teaching us. Do you think that

792
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: child with you and the falling creation is better than

793
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: it being with me. If you're redeemed, you're going to

794
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: come spend eternity with this child. And I have decided

795
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: Psalm's thirty nine thirteen through sixteen that these are the

796
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: number of the days. Just like with David and Bathsheba,

797
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: he said, this child is not going to live very

798
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: long at all. Solomon is coming and I'll do great

799
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: things through Solomon, both from the same couple. But he's teaching,

800
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: and what he's doing is right. Because the children that

801
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: either die before they're able to know they're left end

802
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: from the right, or they were old enough to make

803
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: a decision and are redeemed. They're in eternity with a

804
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: perfect father, in perfection, and if you're redeemed, one day

805
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: you will go to them, even though they're not coming

806
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: back to you here. And what God is saying is,

807
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: how dare you question me on that there's gonna be

808
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: a day you're going to be standing here and you're

809
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna be reunited with that child, and you're going to

810
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: be in perfection. You're going to spend eternity with that child,

811
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: and you're going to look at me and think, why

812
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: was I so concerned about this? This is far better

813
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: than even when I had them with me, because they

814
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: were sick all the time they were they had the

815
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: heart broken, they were disappointed. There were a lot of

816
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: bad things that happened to them while they were on earth.

817
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: And now that hurt is gone and they are glorified

818
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 1: and they are perfect and they don't sweat the things

819
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: that we all sweat every day, and one day we'll

820
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: be with them and so and so God is just

821
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: almost saying, could y'all just be patient and trust that

822
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm working this out. Could you just stop questioning me

823
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: and stop thinking that I'm not handling this right and

824
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: stop thinking you can correct me, and that you had

825
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: a better way this could be done. And how about this.

826
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: I want you to stop thinking I'm being too hard

827
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: on Joe, and I want you to stop thinking I'm

828
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: being too hard on you, because I know why I suffer.

829
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: This is a bit of an analogy that's a little

830
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: shallow for how important this is. But if you've ever

831
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: been in a position to where you were an authority

832
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: over people, or you've ever been say a coach of

833
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: some kind, or you could be a boss or whatever,

834
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: there's certain people that thrive on their own. They got

835
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: great discipline, they got great self control, and you don't

836
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: have to ride them. But then there's people like me.

837
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: You got to ride that one, and if you ride him,

838
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: you'll see great things. But if you leave him alone

839
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: and let him relax and let him get too comfortable,

840
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: prone to wonder. So you got to stay on that one.

841
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here at sixty one right now, and

842
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: God is saying, surely you didn't think we were done.

843
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: Surely you don't think that you've reached what I want.

844
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: You don't think you've arrived to you. I don't know

845
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: how much song I want to live. I have no idea,

846
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: but God does. And for some reason, I guess I'm

847
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: gonna live a little longer than I thought because He's

848
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: taking the time to refine me even more and say

849
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: I want This is what I'm learning through the difficulty

850
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm in right now. I'm learning that God is saying,

851
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: don't withhold anything from me. Let's let there better not

852
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: be any part of you that I can't examine and

853
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: refine and change. And I remember when we studied and

854
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm working on a message about this. I guess I

855
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't give that away. But it doesn't matter. It'll work

856
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: the time you get to see it. And I haven't

857
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: been able to get it out of my mind. And

858
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: it was when we did the study on the Revelation,

859
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: the seven Churches, the church at Ephesus. I think, I

860
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: think that's me is you did this well. You've done

861
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: this well. I like how you did that. Man that

862
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: looks good Man church is thriving, Wednesday, Bible study going good.

863
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate what you're doing at the local church. Hey, I

864
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: like that conversation you have with so and so. I

865
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of like how you handle this and whatever, like

866
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: this and and but but I'd like to talk to

867
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: you about something. I got this against you, This one

868
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: thing we got to correct. Are these things we need

869
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: to correct? I still have this against you, and so

870
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna correct it, and he's gonna say, I need

871
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: this cleaned up a little bit right here, because I

872
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: now we've got it. We've done a lot. But until

873
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 1: I clean this up and toward I take you another step,

874
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: to I push you a little more, until I put

875
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: my thumb on you just a little more, you're not

876
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna get there. And the only way you're gonna get

877
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: there is if I let you suffer a little more

878
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: and trust me. Because what is the saying first Peter

879
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: one six and seven. We said it a thousand times,

880
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: and this you rejoice though now for a little while.

881
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: And the key is these two words, if necessary. You've

882
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: been grieved by various trials. God looked at Job's life,

883
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: he might have looked at yours, and he's looked at

884
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: mine and says, I deem this necessary. I deem it

885
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: necessary for me to be able to This is how

886
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to create this in you. As Paul said

887
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: about the thorn in his flesh and the demon who

888
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: kept harassing him, saying, you keep asking God to take

889
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: this away from you and he won't do it. What

890
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: do you think about God now? And Paul says, to

891
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: that demon that is harassing him about God not answering

892
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: his prayer the way he wanted. He said, I've asked

893
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: him three times he has not done it, and he

894
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: doesn't say and I don't know why. Oh, what's wrong God,

895
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: You're being unreasonable, he said. He's doing it to keep

896
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: me from being conceited. I can't handle not having the

897
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: thorn and he knows it, so he leaves it because

898
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: it's for my own good. I wonder if we can

899
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: look at difficulty that way. Let's pray. Lord, thank you

900
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: for today, thank you for this message. Thank You for

901
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: the do sometimes different parts, but also seeing even your

902
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: sense of humor as you talk to Job, even as

903
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: you remind us that the more that we know about you,

904
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: there's many conclusions we can come to. You're wonderful, your holy,

905
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: you are awesome. But another thing that we come to

906
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: the conclusion of every time is that you are God

907
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: and we are not. Thank you for the mercy and

908
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: the grace that you've shown us, but we are in

909
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: all of you, and we worship you because you and

910
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: only you are worthy of our adoration and our worship.
