A look at how AI handles Ezekiel 24 vs a sermon

1
00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:06.080
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:13.359
the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central. Good evening everyone.

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:18.399
It is Thursday, January the ninth, twenty twenty five. As

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.160
I almost did it, I knew sooner or letter I

5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.559
was going to do that. I knew sooner a letter

6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.480
I was going to say twenty twenty four. I almost

7
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.519
did it, but I caught myself, so let me do

8
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:34.039
that again. Good evening everyone. It is Thursday, January the ninth,

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.640
twenty twenty five. It is currently seven forty nine pm

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.320
Central Time, and I am coming to you live from

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:48.359
the Theology Central studio located right here in Abilene, Texas well.

12
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.119
For this episode, we're going to once again turn back

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.159
to the subject of artificial intelligence, but we're going to

14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:03.600
talk about it as it connects to a boiling pot.

15
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.359
What is the connection between AI and a boiling pot?

16
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.480
How about what is the connection between Maybe we shouldn't

17
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.959
even say to a connection. This is gonna be a

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:23.560
I versus a sermon about a boiling pot. Here's what

19
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.040
happened today. I kept thinking, well, I'm gonna get a

20
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.439
chance to broadcast. I'm gonna get a chance to broadcast

21
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.959
and the chance never really happened. It never arrived, it

22
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.680
never materialized. So I was like, okay, and I can't.

23
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.319
You know, it's one of those things where you keep

24
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.079
like coming back to the microphone thinking okay, now, okay,

25
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.239
that's not it's going to happen. Now, it's not going

26
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.280
to happen. So and a lot of that time then

27
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.280
I wasn't really accomplishing anything. So I opened up the

28
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.959
sermon's two point oh app was going through it and

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.359
saw a sermon, in fact, it was the newest sermon

30
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:02.799
at that moment, entitled Danger of the Boiler Pot, Danger

31
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.319
of the Boiling Pot. And I'm like, oh, that looks interesting.

32
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.560
So I started playing it. Realized immediately that the volume

33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.879
was way too low, and they're singing at the beginning

34
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.280
and there's all. So I'm like, you know what, I

35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.400
know what I'll do. I'll just go ahead and download this,

36
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.240
increase the volume, amplify it, then load it to my

37
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.960
studio software, queue it up, and at some point when

38
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.080
I can go live, I'll have it ready to go.

39
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.360
And what we're going to do is listen to this

40
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.840
sermon about a boiling pot. At the same time we

41
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.120
will see how AI will handle the text. Now, the

42
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.960
text in question appears to be from what I can

43
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.759
tell at least, what is listed is Zequal Chapter twenty

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.199
four is Ezequal Chapter twenty four. So here's what we're

45
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.159
going to do. I'm going to be utilizing two artificial

46
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:55.560
intelligence programs.

47
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.080
Right.

48
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:00.439
I'm going to be using chat GPT on a ezekiuel

49
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.479
twenty four. I'm also going to be using the Bible

50
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.560
Memory app. But they now have an artificial intelligence thing

51
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.800
that you can subscribe to for like five dollars or

52
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.240
six dollars a month. So I'm going to be utilizing

53
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.960
the Bible Memory, artificial intelligence Chat GPT, and that we're

54
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.599
going to be listening to this sermon, and we're going

55
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.960
to see which one wins. Does the sermon win, or

56
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.719
does artificial intelligent wins? In fact, in some ways, I

57
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.360
think maybe I told you that, you know, twenty twenty five,

58
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.560
we don't really have a direction, but artificial intelligence is

59
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.159
going to be discussed constantly throughout and everything that we do.

60
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.719
I think what we may need to do is we

61
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.639
may want to create a series. Now that I'm thinking about,

62
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.560
I keep thinking where do I put all the sermons?

63
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.280
I may be. One of the things we do is

64
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:55.000
we just have a series entitled Artificial Intelligence Versus Sermons

65
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.879
or Artificial Intelligence, Yeah, AI versus sermons, and we will

66
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.000
compare sermons to AI and see which one wins, Right,

67
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.479
I mean, I think that's to me, that's really the

68
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:12.120
issue here. We've been talking about artificial intelligence all of

69
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.719
twenty twenty five so far, over and over and over again,

70
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.120
and I keep in my hypotheses. My thesis is that

71
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.360
AI is making the church completely and utterly irrelevant because

72
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.519
AI can do anything better than a church can do

73
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.800
when it comes to preaching and teaching. Now, again, if

74
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.040
you are a sacramental church, you need the church. AI

75
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.519
can't help you there. Right. If you are looking for

76
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:43.959
a church for community, friendship, activities, fellowships, potlucks, all of

77
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.759
those types of things, well, then the church is going

78
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.319
to still be valuable. But if you see the church

79
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.560
as a place that is supposed to equip saints so

80
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.800
they're no longer children being tossed to and fro with

81
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.319
every wind of doctrine, and they do this equipping by

82
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.839
the preaching and teaching of God's word. If the church

83
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.160
is supposed to be the place that is teaching, that

84
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.439
is preaching, that is expounding scripture, breaking it down. Well,

85
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.959
ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to I'm just going to

86
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.480
say it, and I know not everyone agrees with this,

87
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.959
but AI makes the church irrelevant. AI can do better

88
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.319
than any sermon, and I'm going to stand by that,

89
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.959
and we're going to I guess this in some ways,

90
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.279
twenty twenty five is going to be me testing the concept, right,

91
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.120
I guess in some ways it's going to be ME

92
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.399
testing the concept because we're going to continue to put

93
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.480
AI versus sermons. So in this case, when we do

94
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.399
sermon reviews, we'll review the sermon, but I will be

95
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.680
constantly challenging the sermon with artificial intelligence and we will

96
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.800
see where we get. Now, we can do this different ways.

97
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.480
Now I could go look for this sermon. I could

98
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.519
do this, and I could go ahead and offer it

99
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.560
to AI and say, analyze it and find all of

100
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.120
the mistakes. We've already done. We did that with two

101
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.560
sermons already on the podcast in twenty twenty five, and

102
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.879
in both cases AI pointed out all kinds of problems

103
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.079
with those sermons, geographical errors, this kind of a logical errors,

104
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.040
all kinds of things. So in this case, I have

105
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.800
not given this sermon to AI. I'm going to just

106
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.839
try to deal with it in real time. Now, I

107
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.319
did ask AI to break down Ezequel twenty four, so

108
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.560
I may what I'm going to do. I have the

109
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.160
Bible Memory app, I have its Bible Intelligence program operating,

110
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.439
and it's already broken down Ezequel twenty four for me.

111
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.399
So I have that, and I have chat GPT's breakdown

112
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.959
of Ezequel twenty four. So I'm going to use that

113
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.480
kind of as We'll go through the sermon, and then

114
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.759
I'll compare what the sermon is doing with what AI

115
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.600
has done with the text. I think, and we're going

116
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.560
to just try lots of different things like this to continue.

117
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.319
I know some of you are like some of you, look,

118
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.600
I already know there's been pushback. Don't waste your time

119
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.000
doing that. It does doesn't matter. Who cares, Just preach scripture.

120
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.199
Well you may say it doesn't matter. You may say

121
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.759
who cares? You're gonna care when you wake up and

122
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.680
realize that you know, well we were ignoring it. Well

123
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.199
all of this had happened. And Ai, I'm telling you,

124
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.759
I don't know how we can ignore it. We can't

125
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.040
ignore it, so well, that's what we're going to do.

126
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.360
So I don't know if this is going to be

127
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.439
I still haven't figured out the perfect way to do this.

128
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.360
Haven't figured out the perfect way to address it. So

129
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.160
there's got and but that's the fun thing of this podcast.

130
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.800
No again, no no notebook, it's empty, no GPS in

131
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.959
our car. We don't know where we're going. We're just

132
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.000
trying to figure it out. And I think that's the

133
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.240
fun part of this is we're trying to figure it

134
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.839
out in real time. How do I address this? So

135
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.360
we're gonna try it this way because the other way

136
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.000
is I just turned on the microphone and go, here's

137
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.560
the sermon, right, here's what AI says about the sermon.

138
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.079
But you're not really hearing the sermon. Now, if I

139
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.879
if we try to review the sermon, then I read

140
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.800
to you what AI said about the sermon. I guess

141
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.360
we could do that, but I don't know. I haven't

142
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.240
quite figured it out. But this time, what we're going

143
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.319
to do is I've got ais breakdown of the passage

144
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.360
of Scripture. I do not have ais breakdown of the sermon.

145
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.439
So I'm going into the sermon just as blind as

146
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.120
you are. But I'll immediately contrast what it's doing with

147
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.199
what AI did. So in that sense, we're gonna compare

148
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.480
and contrast that way. So are you ready? Here we go.

149
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.960
I hope the audio is loud enough. I boosted this

150
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.080
thing like crazy, so I'm hoping it's loud enough. It's

151
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.320
called The Danger of the Boiling Pot. It was uploaded

152
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.720
earlier today. It was like the first sermon in the

153
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.879
new sermon tab, and so I grabbed it then, and

154
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.879
because the title caught my attention. So here we go.

155
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.399
Take your bibles and return to the Book of Ezekiel

156
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.159
ezek Kilt, chapter twenty four.

157
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:32.720
Okay, he's coming in very very calm, very somber, not

158
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.480
like I do. I come in almost yelling at everyone. Okay.

159
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.600
So this is much so for those who hate my

160
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.480
style because people say you're over dramatic, You're ah, it's fake,

161
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.759
You're okay, just whatever. People. I hate when people say

162
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.559
it's fake because that means they don't know me, but

163
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.200
because that's just the way I am. But yeah, it's hard.

164
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.679
I listen to this. I'm like, are you okay? And

165
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.799
he are you okay, and he are you okay because

166
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.600
are we about to study the Bible or what's happening here?

167
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.320
But that's okay. Everyone has different styles. Some people love

168
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.000
this more calm, peaceful approach. Let's see how he handles it.

169
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.480
I can I read the first fourteen verses there today

170
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:26.000
in Ezekiel Chapter twenty four. Verses one to fourteen will

171
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.279
stand pleace for the reading of God's word. Verse one,

172
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.279
it says again in the ninth year, in the tenth month,

173
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.799
in the tenth day of the month, the word of

174
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.320
the Lord came unto me, saying, son of Man, write

175
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.639
the the name of the day. Even of this same day.

176
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.879
The King of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day,

177
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:57.759
and utter a parable onto the rebellious house, and say

178
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.159
unto them. Thus say it the Lord God set on

179
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.799
a pot, Set it on, and also pour water into it,

180
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.559
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece,

181
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120
the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones,

182
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.559
take the choice of the flock, and burn also the

183
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.840
bones under it, and make it boil well, and let

184
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:33.879
them seethe the bones of it therein. Wherefore, thus say

185
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.399
it the Lord God woe to the bloody city. To

186
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.720
the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is

187
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:47.639
not gone out of it, Bring it out, piece by piece,

188
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.039
Let no lot fall upon it. For her blood is

189
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.600
in the midst of her. She set it upon the

190
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.639
top of a rock. She poured it not upon the

191
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:04.039
ground to cover it with dust, that it might cause

192
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:09.200
fury to come up to take vengeance. I have set

193
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.559
her blood upon the top of a rock, that it

194
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:17.039
should not be covered. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God,

195
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.960
woe to the bloody city. I will even make the

196
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:28.639
pile for fire great. Keep on wood, Kindle the fire,

197
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.639
consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the

198
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.440
bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals

199
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.720
thereof that the brass of it may be hot and

200
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.480
may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be

201
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:52.559
molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

202
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.519
She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum

203
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.799
went not forth out of her. Her scum shall be

204
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:07.799
in the fire. In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I

205
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.120
have purged thee and thou hast, and thou wast not purged.

206
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:19.080
Thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness anymore till

207
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.440
I have caused my fury to rest upon THEE. I

208
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.480
the Lord have spoken it. It shall come to pass,

209
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.480
and I will do it. I will not go back,

210
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.200
Neither will I spare, Neither will I repent. According to

211
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.679
Thy ways and according to Thy doings. Shall they judge

212
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:47.440
THEE saith the Lord God, Haven you, Father. We're thankful

213
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.840
again that we have thy word. Thankful again that we

214
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.399
can look at the history of the nation of Israel.

215
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.279
We can understand why they're in such trouble to day.

216
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.720
We can understand why they were in such trouble when

217
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.480
thy son, the Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth,

218
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.240
and why they were in such trouble in Ezekiel's day.

219
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.320
And we need to pay attention to what we have

220
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.960
read here and understand that we as gentiles also need

221
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.080
to know the true God. We need to walk with THEE.

222
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.159
Those of us that are saved. We cannot play games

223
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.360
with THEE. We need to understand that walking in Thy

224
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.559
way is the right way to walk. It is the

225
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.759
way of blessing, and it is the way that we

226
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.919
can be a help to others, to know Thy peace

227
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.759
and truth. So we pray for each Christian that's listening

228
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.679
today that each one would see the importance of walking

229
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.360
humbly and truthfully with THEE and allowing THEE to direct

230
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.360
our steps, that we would want to please THEE and

231
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.919
be a blessing to others. We pray for any lost

232
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.440
person that's listening, that they might understand the importance of

233
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.120
repentance toward THEE and trusting in Thy son, the Lord

234
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:08.559
Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. May I will be

235
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.519
accomplished as we look into these verses. May we allow

236
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.240
THEE to direct us in our thoughts, and may we

237
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.120
take away anything that would distract us so that we

238
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.519
can receive that blessing that WOULDS have for us in

239
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.080
this study. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen. Maybe see.

240
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.759
Now a couple of things about the prayer. First, he

241
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:40.399
is placing this passage about Israel, So already I'm already

242
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.919
happy about that, considering all the horrible things we've encountered

243
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.559
listening to sermons on Isaiah forty forty one, forty two,

244
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.000
forty three, forty four, forty five, forty six, forty seven.

245
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.120
Because I think I think everyone forgot Israel even existed

246
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.200
in the preaching of all of those sermons. So that's

247
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.240
a good thing. We've got a sermon that at least

248
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.600
acknowledges Israel somehow is connected with this. Now you do

249
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.399
know my frustration with sermons saying God lead us, direct us,

250
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.360
help us, anything along those lines, because if God is leading,

251
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.679
directing and helping us and understanding the Bible after two

252
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.519
thousand years, you think there would be some agreement. But

253
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.000
after two thousand years there is no agreement. So that

254
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.240
only means that to me, the only thing you can

255
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.279
take from that is God is not leading, guiding and

256
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.360
directing us and understanding scripture. The Bible is God's written word,

257
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.120
It's God's revelation, and he has given it to us

258
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:37.240
to try to understand and interpret using all all the

259
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.480
things we know about interpreting anything in a written form.

260
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.360
If he's guiding and directing, again, you already know the

261
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.000
problem with that, right, because if I say, well, I'm

262
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.320
praying for God to guide and direct me and I

263
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.840
come to this interpretation, well one is if God is

264
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.679
the one guiding and directing me to that interpretation, then

265
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.240
you can't challenge that interpretation because it came from God. Well,

266
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.080
then here comes the problem. That person over there prayed

267
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.160
and God led them to that interpretation. And I guarantee

268
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.160
you he just prayed for God to guide and lead

269
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.720
them basically, and they're interpreting of Ezekiel twenty four. I

270
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.799
guarantee you he's going to come to a conclusion that

271
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.119
I could go find another sermon and probably ten seconds

272
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.279
where they pray for God to guide and lead them

273
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.440
and they're going to come to an opposite direction. So

274
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.160
who is God guiding? He's not guiding both and to

275
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.720
opposite directions and different interpretations that contradict one another. So

276
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:35.480
the whole thing. No, clearly God is not doing that.

277
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.400
If he was, then there would not be fifty bazillion

278
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.839
I know that's a hyperbole, big time, fifty bazillion different groups.

279
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.640
But it's not hyperbole to say fifty bazillion different interpretations

280
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.240
because the interpretations are endless when it comes to Christians

281
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.680
reading the Bible all claiming God is guiding them and

282
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.960
directing them and opening their eyes. So you know my

283
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.279
problem with all of that because it's just I'm so

284
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.680
tired of hearing it. Because if that's the case, then hey,

285
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.519
don't challenge my interpretation. It came from God. Well see,

286
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.839
you won't accept that. The minute you disagree with my interpretation,

287
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.359
you will immediately throw out that God is God in

288
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.839
and leading me. So so it's all a game anyway.

289
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.319
All right, So let's see what Let's see where this goes.

290
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.599
All right, So there's the prayer. Those are my typical

291
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.119
issues with opening prayer. But that's okay. And a lot

292
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.599
of times the opening prayer I kind of feel like

293
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.039
he already kind of started kind of giving his introduction

294
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.720
to the sermon, which is what preachers typically do. That's

295
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.039
why can we just open the Bible? And if you

296
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.000
need to pray for the sermon, pray before you even

297
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.119
stand and the pulpit. And because once you stand there,

298
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.240
you have a tendency in your prayer to basically start

299
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.400
preaching the sermon. God doesn't need to hear you preach

300
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.519
the sermon hered He knows everything about it. It's his word,

301
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.480
all right. But all right, here we go.

302
00:18:50.480 --> 00:19:02.519
Good. I love the matsage is the danger of the

303
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:08.599
boiling pot. The danger of the boiling pot. Now, as

304
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:13.480
we've mentioned many times before that it is important to

305
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.920
keeping our eyes on what's going on in the Middle East,

306
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.200
and we can see that there's still a boiling pot

307
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:24.440
in the Middle East. Right now. Israel is continuing to

308
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.839
go into Gaza. They have been in there for quite

309
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:34.480
some time. They have destroyed some of the tunnels, they

310
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.599
have killed a number of the terrafts. But when they

311
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.440
go back in, they find that the terrorists Hamas is

312
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.680
still going back into some of the areas that Israel

313
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.240
has already defeated in the past. But they're.

314
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.680
Okay, that took a wild turn. We're in Ezekiel twenty four,

315
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.839
and next thing you know, we're talking about Israel today

316
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:06.000
going into Gaza. How in the world did that just happen?

317
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.839
All right, So I'm gonna let him go a little

318
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.720
further because obviously I guess what he's going to attempt

319
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.240
to do is look at what's going on Israel and

320
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.960
the present connect that somehow to Ezekiel twenty four. Oh,

321
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.720
I've got questions. I've got questions. Let's see I know this.

322
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.200
Ai did not do that. Okay. AI did not say, hey,

323
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.079
consider Israel and Gaza right now. Now, let's look at

324
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.000
Ezequel twenty four. AI did not do that. All right,

325
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.119
Let's see what he does with this, because maybe it

326
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.720
actually is brilliant and maybe I'm missing something here. But

327
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.079
immediately I'm a little bit confused. I'm like, don't we

328
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.359
need to establish the historical context and the textual context

329
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.720
for Ezequel twenty four before we proceed? But okay, maybe

330
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.000
this is just a way to kind of grab your attention.

331
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.960
It's kind of that opening illustration because you start talking

332
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.559
about something everyone is familiar with because it's been in

333
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.039
the news NonStop. So maybe that's the idea here. This

334
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.119
is kind of like grab the attention in a sermon. Okay,

335
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.319
let's see. Because remember, when it comes to sermons, I

336
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.200
hate to say it, sermons are typically structured kind of

337
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.039
like a speech, right, It's not really structured to get

338
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.880
you necessarily to the text. It's about it's about the

339
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.240
techniques used to keep you interested and to throw out

340
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.920
the hook. And that's why some of my problems with

341
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.920
the sermons structure. But let's see, this may actually work,

342
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.640
So I'm not criticizing it yet. It's just immediately I'm

343
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:33.799
just like, wait, how did we get there? I thought

344
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.519
we were in Ezequel twenty four. Obviously he's going to

345
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.119
use this to get us to Ezequel twenty four. Now,

346
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.200
at least that's my thinking.

347
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:46.079
Going back in there and continuing to set up their

348
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:51.759
weapons to use against Israel, and as even a hospital

349
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.839
that they recently attacked, they took the patients out. Of course,

350
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:03.079
Israel is not into killing innocent people unnecessarily, but Hamas

351
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.000
had used that hospital as a headquarters for their weapons

352
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.920
and for their terrorist activities. And they did that on

353
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.559
purpose because they assumed, they thought that they'd be safe

354
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:21.000
there because they wouldn't Israel wouldn't attack a hospital. But

355
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.200
then they also figured if Israel did attack, then they

356
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:28.839
could cry war crimes to the media. And of course

357
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:34.680
the media is more than ready to entertain attacks against Israel.

358
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.599
Most of the media today is anti Semite.

359
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:41.960
Oh boy, okay, see here we go. Now this is

360
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.079
a problem. In a sermon, he starts making all these claims.

361
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.400
Most of the media today is anti Semite. It's anti Semitic, Like,

362
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.039
how are you going to quantify that? How are you

363
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.400
qualifying that he makes a claim about Israel in this hospital.

364
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:58.279
I know all the reports, but I guarantee you, I

365
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.000
bet you there's conflicting reports. Is he going to report

366
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.440
both sides. Is he going to state the sources from

367
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.359
which he's just making it dogmatic that this is what

368
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.680
Israel did and this is what Israel did not do

369
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.799
based off what see this is now the sermon already

370
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.039
now is becoming a problem. Right See, this is the

371
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.559
problem with the sermon. So now you know what I need.

372
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.519
I almost want to take this sermon right now and

373
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.279
give it to artificial intelligence and say, can you verify

374
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.000
some of these claims? I mean, how do you claim

375
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:32.559
most of the media is anti Semitic? Like, now, me member,

376
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.960
this is a sermon being preached. This is about the

377
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.000
preaching of God's word, right, and now you just made

378
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:43.680
a claim where you said most that's judging, that's making

379
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:47.279
an accusation, and maybe it may even border on bearing

380
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:52.640
false witness. Which media are you referring to?

381
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:58.240
Media in the UK, media in the Middle East, media

382
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:03.240
in North Korea, Korea where or just media in the

383
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.920
United States.

384
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.759
Well, if it comes to media in the United States,

385
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.279
then we would have to take all the media groups

386
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.240
that you're referring to. I guess, ABC, CBS, NBC all

387
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.240
of them, and then then we just immediately just claim, hey,

388
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:18.599
most of you are anti Semitic, and we're not even

389
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.200
going to bother to qualify it. Quantify Is that not

390
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:27.359
a borderline bearing false witness, which is a sin. Now,

391
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:31.480
if you can prove that, if you have some conclusive study,

392
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:35.079
then I'm more than happy to state that. But if

393
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.960
he had a conclusive study, I'm assuming he would be

394
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:42.400
reciting the source. Maybe he's getting ready to We're already got.

395
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.039
We already have a problem beginning here. See we're not

396
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.680
we haven't even gotten, we haven't even gotten to the text.

397
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.759
But now you see how sermons many cases distract you

398
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.039
from the text.

399
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:59.279
And they are promoting the lies of Hamas and hezbe

400
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:04.559
Lah and other groups like that. And so it's a

401
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:09.240
constant challenge for the nation of Israel in the Middle

402
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:13.599
East right now. But part of that is their own

403
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.960
In fact, much of that is of their own making,

404
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.599
just as we see in our text here. Today, Israel

405
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.640
still has not seen the importance of turning back to

406
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:31.759
the True God and following him in our own country.

407
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:38.240
We have in Mississauga this month, I don't remember the date,

408
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:43.559
but this month they are having an Islamic Caliphate conference

409
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:49.079
in Mississauga, Ontario, Now, it's interesting that when that was

410
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.400
first announced that there was no politician speaking out against it,

411
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.240
But in the last few days a few have expressed

412
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.920
alarm at this conference being held in this country. But

413
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.400
the thing of it is that this country is promoting

414
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:15.000
and protecting terrorists and they're doing that in Toronto, they're

415
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.559
doing it in Montreal, they're doing it in Victoria. There

416
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.880
was a a report given out.

417
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.000
He may be referring to Canada. He may be referring

418
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.720
to Canada here and referring to that most of the

419
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:35.799
Canadian media is anti Semitic. Now, I do listen to

420
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.359
a lot of Canadian news. I subscribe to a number

421
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:43.519
of Canadian news sources. I don't know if I would

422
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:53.279
go there, So I yeah, I don't know.

423
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:53.880
I don't know.

424
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:55.960
I don't know. Or we'll just we'll just let him go.

425
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.039
We'll just let him continue. See he did, He's got

426
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:00.839
to quantify what he's qualify what who he's referring to?

427
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:10.000
Right, But okay, today from Victoria and the hamas terrorists,

428
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.079
they go into an intersection, they block the traffic in

429
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.000
the intersection, and then they have their speech there and

430
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.400
their protest and they move on to another intersection do

431
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.319
the same thing, and the police are there, they have

432
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.240
their vehicles there, and they're on foot there, but they're

433
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.640
not doing anything to stop the protests. They're there and

434
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.640
they have their vehicles sitting there. In one place, they

435
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.160
even had a police car across the intersection, blocking the

436
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:43.200
intersection so the protesters could do their devious deed. And

437
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:48.680
so we see that our country of Canada is living

438
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.279
in defiance of the true God. We've known that for

439
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:57.200
a long time, and they are trying hard to get

440
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.319
rid of the Jews.

441
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.839
Now, just I did ask Ai about some of the

442
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.880
claims made in this. Here's immediately what Ai said. I

443
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:14.240
asked Ai about factual claims in this, and Ai said,

444
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.039
the uploaded transcript contains claims about current events that require scrutiny,

445
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.480
and some may lack evidence or reflect personal opinion rather

446
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:25.799
than verifiable facts. Here are the observations regarding potential errors

447
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.880
of false claims about current events. Now again that as

448
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.640
as someone listening to a sermon, you're supposed to determine

449
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.759
if it's true or false. This entire we're not to

450
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.680
see how this has kept us. I've said this a

451
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:42.880
million times. Sermons literally take you away from the text.

452
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.160
I've said this so many times. Look what we're doing

453
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.839
or are we talking Ezekiel twenty four? No, now we

454
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.000
got to go verify all of this claims about Israel

455
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:56.079
and Gaza. Israel is not this is the claim in

456
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.200
the sermon. Israel is not into killing innocent people unnecessarily.

457
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.880
Hamas use that hospital as a headquarters for their weapons

458
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.640
and for their terrorist activities. That's the claim made in

459
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.039
the sermon. It's a direct quote from the sermon because

460
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.519
Ai took it from the transcript that I provided it.

461
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.960
Here's AI's analysis. This reflects a specific perspective on the

462
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:19.920
Israeli Palestinian conflict. While it is widely reported that Hamas

463
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.359
has used civilian infrastructure for military purposes, claims about specific

464
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:29.680
hospitals being used as headquarters needs verification from reliable sources. Additionally,

465
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:38.079
terms like unnecessarily introduced subjectivity as civilian casualties in conflict

466
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.480
are highly contentious and often debated in international media and

467
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.039
human rights reports. In other words, once you start making

468
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.400
these claims, things can become subjective. You may not be

469
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.519
giving all the facts. That's the problem, because if you're

470
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.400
wrong just a little bit in your sermon, If you

471
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:59.000
miss characterize, if you misrepresent, if you accuse and it's

472
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.680
not one thousand one percent correct, then from the pulpit,

473
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.640
while holding a Bible, you start bearing false witness. Now

474
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.039
I know nobody cares in the pew. Nobody could care

475
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:11.359
as long as you're bearing false witness against people you

476
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.240
don't like. If it's against this group or this group

477
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.839
or this group. Oh we hate the media, Say whatever

478
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.079
you want. Oh we don't like the homosexual movement, Say

479
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.839
what you want. Nobody cares. No, no pastor is going

480
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.000
to get in trouble for bearing false witness from the pulpit.

481
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.079
Nobody's going to be excommunicated, nobody's going to be church disciplined,

482
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:33.680
No one's going to be disqualified. Nobody cares. But right there,

483
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.759
I'm not saying that there weren't factual statements about what

484
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.119
happened there. But there's a lot to go through. There's

485
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:44.119
a lot of you've got to cite your sources. Number Two,

486
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.759
media bias the claim and the sermon. Most of the

487
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.599
media today is anti Semite, and they are promoting the

488
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:59.119
lies of Hamas and Hesbelah analysis. This is a sweeping generalization.

489
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.240
While media coverage of the Israeli Palestinian conflict varies by

490
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.519
outlet and region. Labeling most of the media as anti

491
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:12.799
Semitic is a serious accusation that lacks supporting evidence and

492
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.519
the transcript. Accusations of bias should be substantiated with specific

493
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:25.440
examples and credible analysis. As Christians, if we're gonna make

494
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.519
sweeping accusations, we should be the one who provides carefully

495
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:35.960
detailed example and analysis showing that's the case. You just

496
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.240
can't accuse people. You're accusing human beings, those human beings

497
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.039
who work for those media companies, and you're accusing them

498
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:48.519
of being anti Semitic. No, are you gonna name the individuals.

499
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:55.960
You may be accusing people who I don't know are Jewish.

500
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.519
I mean, that's oh okay. Number three, He goes on

501
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:03.640
to claim our country of Canada, we just listened to

502
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:07.480
it is promoting and protecting terrorists in Toronto and Montreal

503
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:11.759
and Victoria analysis. This is a strong accusation that lacks

504
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:15.799
concrete evidence and the transcript. While protests and public demonstrations,

505
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.799
including those by groups sympathetic to Palestinian causes, have occurred

506
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:24.200
in Canada, labeling these actions as promoting and protecting terrorists

507
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:31.400
requires substantiation through official reports or investigations. Another claim in

508
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:34.359
the sermon, the Prime Minister has said he's going to resign,

509
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:43.119
but his his parliament is not a legal step, all right,

510
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:47.720
analysis this statement about the Canadian Prime minister contains inaccuracies.

511
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:51.839
No evidence or record exists as of the transcript's context

512
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:56.000
that Justin Trudeau announced his resignation now now in the transcript,

513
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.640
because I guess this sermon happened before it happened, but

514
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.720
he has announced it since then, so there was no

515
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.960
evidence offered there. But ultimately in time it has happened.

516
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.920
I don't know the date of when the sermon was

517
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:15.279
preached and what they're referring to the parliament as pro

518
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.640
roguing parliament is a legal procedure within the Canadian parliamentary system.

519
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.480
While it can be politically controversial, claiming it is not

520
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.480
a legal step is incorrect, all right. So this is

521
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.319
something in Canadian politics, So claiming something is is not

522
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:35.960
a legal step is incorrect. So AI is like, Hey,

523
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.839
you can't say that because that's incorrect. So there's a

524
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:44.519
lot there about the resignation. So he did, but at

525
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.599
the time of the sermon, and of course there was

526
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.799
no information offered in the transcript. AI here is simply

527
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.599
analyzing the transcript, not digging out other information from there,

528
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:58.400
So there's already problems here. He's making factual errors and

529
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.119
wild accusations. So he's going to say something else about

530
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.599
the California wildfires that are continuing going on. Let's see

531
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.599
what he has to say here.

532
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.159
And they're also trying hard to get rid of Christians.

533
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.880
Our country, as we've mentioned before, is under the judgment

534
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:18.599
of God and it's just going to get worse. We

535
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:23.400
are currently without a have been for quite some time.

536
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:28.159
But since Monday, our Prime minister has said he's going

537
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:38.199
to resign. He hasn't resigned yet, but he is thinking that.

538
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:43.400
He is thinking that he can get away with something

539
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:48.519
by proguing parliament and calling the leadership race. But according

540
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.800
to some people, his proguing parliament is not a legal

541
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.920
step that he has taken, and they're fighting it in

542
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.800
court right now.

543
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:05.119
Proguingroguing, Okay, that's an interesting word, proguing. I'm not familiar

544
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.679
with that term. Proging, pro proguing. I guess p R

545
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.159
O R O g U I N G proguing Parliament,

546
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.599
and he says that it's not a legal step, or

547
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.400
at least some is saying it's not a legal step.

548
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:21.039
AI is saying, well, it can be politically controversial. Claiming

549
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.639
that it's not a legal step is incorrect. So AI

550
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.679
is arguing that's not even correct. So again, but please

551
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:30.119
know what's happening here. We're getting a million miles away

552
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:33.039
from Ezequel twenty four. We're nowhere even close to Ezequel

553
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.360
twenty four at this point. All right, so and again

554
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:39.079
and again I'm having to use AI to verify and

555
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.440
check all of this. We already we probably have already

556
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.840
crossed the line into bearing false witness in this sermon.

557
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.679
We're nowhere near Ezequel twenty four. And here in a minute,

558
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.440
i'll show you what what AI did with Ezequel twenty four.

559
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.199
And once again it's going to demonstrate, you know, the

560
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:57.320
church is actually detrimental to the learning of God's word.

561
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.559
So it's very interesting to watch what's going on both

562
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.960
in our country as well as in the United States,

563
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.840
and then also what's going on in the Middle East.

564
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:11.800
We need to keep our eyes open and we need

565
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:14.840
to be sure that we know the true God, and

566
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.280
we're living for him so that we can help others

567
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.880
in these days of grace to know the truth. Looking

568
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:26.440
at our text, Ezekiel was a prophet chosen by God

569
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:32.800
to speak mainly to Judah. He did also speak to Israel,

570
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.800
warning them of the danger that they were in because

571
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:47.039
of their rebellion. In the first several chapters there was

572
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:53.519
the first several chapters of the book, Ezekiel was taken

573
00:36:53.639 --> 00:37:00.840
back to Judah in spirit and he was shown the

574
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:05.039
abominations that the priests and others were committing in the

575
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:12.800
temple and in Jerusalem in general. And then in the

576
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:19.760
following chapters after that, then Ezekiel was in person in

577
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:27.159
Babylon and speaking and writing to his fellow Jews back

578
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:32.559
in Jerusalem and in Judah. So here we see in

579
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:37.559
this passage that God gives us some dates. Again. So

580
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.559
God's timing is important. He puts us in here for

581
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.840
a reason. So he tells us here in verse one

582
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.400
again in the ninth year.

583
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:50.199
Okay, at least now we've gotten to the text. So

584
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.679
he kind of went back to the early chapters, and

585
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.800
then he's now going to the dating here. There's no

586
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:03.639
real offering any contextual context that I guess. So this

587
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.199
is how AI began. All right, here's Ai, and I'm

588
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.800
using chat GPT for this. Ai says, here's the context.

589
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.480
This is how I asked Ai to just basically break

590
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.239
down Ezequel twenty four. AI says, here's your contextual overview.

591
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:22.280
Ezekuel twenty four one through fourteen is a pivotal passage

592
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:27.519
in Ezekuel's ministry. It marks the announcement of the final

593
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:33.679
siege of Jerusalem by Babylon and uses a parable of

594
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:39.239
a boiling pot to depict the judgment of Jerusalem. This

595
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:45.079
chapter concludes a significant section of Ezekuel's prophecies against Jerusalem

596
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:50.000
and Judah before shifting to oracles against foreign nations and

597
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:54.760
the subsequent chapters. So Ai has let me know that, hey,

598
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:58.320
this is a pivotal passage in ezequels ministry, that it

599
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:02.000
marks the announcement of the final siege of Jerusalem by Babylon.

600
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.280
That it uses a parable of a boiling pot to

601
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:10.760
depict the judgment of Jerusalem. This chapter concludes a significant

602
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.880
section of the prophecies against Jerusalem Judah, and it's now

603
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.519
in the next few chapters or in the chapters coming.

604
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:20.760
It's going to shift to foreign nations in the subsequent

605
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:24.280
chapters coming after this, So it kind of tells a

606
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:26.519
little bit of where we are, what's going, and what

607
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.519
is happening. So it gives us an overview. Now, if

608
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:34.159
I go to the Bible Memory app utilizing its artificial intelligence,

609
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:38.840
here's here's how it begins. Ezekiel twenty four records a

610
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.000
significant moment in the ministry of the prophet Ezekiel during

611
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:47.320
the Babylonian exile of Israel. This chapter opens with a

612
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:52.280
date reference that situates the message within a historical framework

613
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:59.559
occurring during the siege of Jerusalem. Now, according to this

614
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:05.639
this is happening during the siege. Right, The verses begin

615
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:09.400
with a direct proclamation from the Lord to Ezekiel, marking

616
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.639
it as a pivotal moment. This chronological detail in the

617
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:14.639
ninth year and the tenth month on the tenth day

618
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:18.920
emphasizes the specific timing of God's message, establishing a connection

619
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:23.760
to the unfolding events and Jerusalem. All right, so there

620
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.039
we get some we get Ai gives us all kinds

621
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.519
of background here and context here that hasn't been provided

622
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.079
in the sermon. And the sermon we kind of went

623
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:34.920
back to well, at one point Ezekiel has taken, I

624
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:38.840
guess in spirit to a place to see the apostasy.

625
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:42.199
Then he was, I guess in Babylon speaking. I don't

626
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.119
think he really established where Ezekiel is in Ezequel twenty four.

627
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:50.360
But okay, and now he immediately goes to the date, right,

628
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.079
So we didn't really get much anything. Now, maybe he's

629
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:54.679
gonna flush it out here in a minute.

630
00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:00.400
We will see in the tenth months, in the tenth

631
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:05.559
day of the month. So what's that in reference to, Well,

632
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:12.800
it's in reference to the fall of Jehoiakin. If we

633
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:19.199
go to Second Kings, chapter twenty five and verse one,

634
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:23.440
Second Kings twenty five, verse one, and it says there

635
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.280
and it came to pass in the ninth year of

636
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.079
his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day

637
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:35.400
of the month, that Nebukid Nezar, king of Babylon, came

638
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:41.440
he and all his hosts against Jerusalem and pitched against it,

639
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:47.159
and they built forts against it round about. So Ezekiel

640
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:52.480
here is speaking of that same time Jeremiah chapter thirty

641
00:41:52.559 --> 00:42:01.320
nine and verse one. Jeremiah thirty nine and verse one,

642
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.119
And there it also talks about the ninth ninth year,

643
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.039
and it says, in the ninth year of Zedeki, king

644
00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:14.400
of Judah, in the tenth month came Nebucud Resor, king

645
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.320
of Babylon, and all his army against Jerusalem, and they

646
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:23.639
besieged it. So we have the fall of Jehoiakim, and

647
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:27.599
we have also the besieging, because we need to remember

648
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:34.079
that there were three different waves of attack against Jerusalem

649
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:39.400
by Nebucud Nezar. So it tells us in our text

650
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:41.880
here that in the ninth year and the tenth month,

651
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.119
in the tenth day of the month, the word the

652
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:47.199
Lord came unto me saying the word Lord. There is

653
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:51.679
all capitalized speaking of Jehovah God, and so we see

654
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.920
that again here. So this is again speaking of the

655
00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.599
inspiration of the scriptures. And then in verse two, Eazekial

656
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:05.360
is reminded again that he is a man, son of man.

657
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:10.079
He's not a god, he's a prophet. But he God

658
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.599
sees the importance here of continually reminding him.

659
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:18.440
All right, so he does some things with the dates.

660
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:25.400
Ai does this, and this is chat GPT. It refers

661
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:28.840
to this as the prophetic time stamp. And the ninth

662
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.320
year in the tenth month, on the tenth day of

663
00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:36.320
the month. According to AI, this precise date corresponds to

664
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:41.719
January fifteenth, five eighty eight BC, the beginning of the

665
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:45.559
Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. It connects it to Tewod King's

666
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:51.119
twenty five to one and Jeremiah fifty two four, Son

667
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:53.360
of Man, write down the name of this day. The

668
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:58.199
command emphasizes the historic anthological significance of the siege as

669
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:03.440
God's judgment. Now to AI, the synchronization of this date

670
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:07.199
with other biblical records second Kings twenty five to one

671
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:13.559
and ancient Babylonian records raises questions about the systems used

672
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:17.400
to you know, the calendar systems and exact historical dating.

673
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.199
So there may be some issue with that. I could

674
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:24.639
ask AI for clarification to go into more, but it

675
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:27.599
seems that he does kind of connect this to around

676
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.719
that date, to that event. Okay, all right, we probably

677
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:33.679
could do a little bit more work on it, all right,

678
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:38.519
so so far that at least he's covering the basic

679
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.920
part here. He didn't really give us much background in

680
00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:44.039
much context. AI did a better job at that. He

681
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.440
did pretty good with the date, so much with this. Okay,

682
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:50.400
we'll see how these two we're gonna We're gonna keep

683
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.159
track of how these two move forward. Right here we go.

684
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.239
Of his place. Ezekiel is not someone who's trying to

685
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:03.440
usurp his place, trying to get a higher standing. But

686
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:07.239
God saw the importance here reminding him of who he was,

687
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:12.559
and the importance of taking his place properly in humility

688
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:17.840
and being that witness for God to his own people.

689
00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:21.760
So in verse two, it says, Son of Man, write

690
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:27.000
the name of the day. Even this same day, the

691
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:32.719
king of Babylon set himself against Rusalem this same day.

692
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:38.599
So here we are told that the day given in

693
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:44.079
verse one, this was actually coming to pass. Now on

694
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:47.719
the same day. There was no more delaying God's reminding

695
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:53.599
the people of that. There's no further delaying. Israel had

696
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:59.480
had many years to reconsider their rebellion. The north had

697
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:03.519
always been rebellion. The South had some good kings, but

698
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:08.400
they were also going further and further into rebellion. And

699
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:13.800
God sent them prophets like Jeremiah. But the nation of

700
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:18.760
Judah failed to heed the warnings given to them by

701
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:24.239
God's prophets. And so in verse three Ezekiel is told

702
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:30.239
to utter a parable unto the rebellious house and say

703
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:38.719
unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. So again Ezekiel

704
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:42.079
is told by God that the nation of Israel, Judah

705
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:48.599
in particular, was a rebellious house. They were rebelling against God.

706
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:53.320
And here God speaks of himself as the Lord God.

707
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:59.559
The word Lord there Adnai is a term that is

708
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.480
used the name that is used in reverence for God

709
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:08.800
and sometimes used in place of Jehovah. But here we

710
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:12.320
have the word Lord, but we also have the word God,

711
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:17.079
all capitalized, speaking of Jehovah, God, the self existent God.

712
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:22.159
So Ezekiel is told to remind the nation of Judah

713
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:27.559
who is speaking, and his authority to speak to them,

714
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.800
and not just speak to them, but the authority that

715
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.000
he has to judge them. And of course with that

716
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:40.079
judgment comes the sentence, comes the punishment. So the second

717
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.960
thing we see here is the details of the parable.

718
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:49.280
So Ezekiel is told to utter a parable unto the

719
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:55.280
rebellious house. Now what is the parable? So he starts

720
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:58.239
out in verse three, and he says, set on a pot,

721
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.760
set it off, and also pour water into it. This

722
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:07.000
is not a small pot. This would be a larger pot.

723
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:10.719
But he's told to set this pot, and as we

724
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.360
read in this passage, he sets it on the fire,

725
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.039
and he puts water into the pot. And then in

726
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.599
verse four it says, gather the pieces thereof into it,

727
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:25.119
even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill

728
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:30.480
it with the choice bones. Take the choice of the flock,

729
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:34.360
and burn also the bones under it, and make it

730
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:41.039
boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

731
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:49.079
So the picture that Ezekil is told to present before

732
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.840
the nation here is that he's not to take an

733
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:57.639
animal that is scrawny, an animal that is sick. He's

734
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.639
to take the best of the ac and we'll take

735
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:02.119
the choice of the flock.

736
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.599
Okay, So now we have a parable. So that means

737
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:12.519
if it's using if it's a parable, it's using this

738
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:15.960
type of language, then that means we have a couple

739
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:16.519
of options.

740
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:16.679
Here.

741
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:22.559
One can see does what does each thing represent? Sometimes

742
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:24.360
you can do that in a parable. Sometimes that can

743
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.239
be counterintuitive and actually hurt the parable. Sometimes you're not

744
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:31.599
supposed to sit there and say, well, this represents this,

745
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:33.960
and this represents this. You're supposed to just look for

746
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.920
the overarching meaning of the parable. Right, so this is

747
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:41.440
a hermeneutical issue, right, you could and preaching, you could

748
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.159
bring this up. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have

749
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.519
a parable. Do we look to see what each part represents?

750
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:48.960
Or do we simply look for the overall meaning of

751
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.639
the parable itself? And does it matter if we know

752
00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:55.840
what each part represents or maybe each part doesn't represent

753
00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:58.519
something different. There's a lot of different ways you could

754
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:01.199
approach this. He's not obviously have any discussion about this

755
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:04.679
or explaining this, and he kind of just went from

756
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.440
the pot to all the pieces being gathered. He kind

757
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:12.119
of went to that. Now Ai took a different approach. Ai,

758
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:16.519
at least chat Gpt said, Okay, it breaks it down.

759
00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:19.199
Here we go, set on the pot, set it on.

760
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:27.199
According to artificial intelligence, the pot represents Jerusalem. Put in

761
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:31.800
the pieces of meat. The pieces of meat symbolizes the

762
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.760
inhabitants of the city. Choice bones likely refers to the

763
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:42.880
leaders and elite of Jerusalem. That's how Ai breaks it down.

764
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:46.039
Ai breaks it down. The pot is Jerusalem, the pieces

765
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:48.880
are the people, and the choice bones are the leaders.

766
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:54.000
Now Ai says there is a textual challenge here the

767
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:58.000
imagery of the pot and meat is symbolic, yet its

768
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:03.599
exact interpretation. Does the meat signify all inhabitants or only

769
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:07.559
the leaders? The metaphor has overlaps with the Ezekuel eleven

770
00:51:08.079 --> 00:51:12.920
verses three through twelve, complicating its precise meaning. So AI

771
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:16.559
acknowledges hmm. There are a lot of different interpretations here,

772
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:20.480
which would tell me, as someone who would be preaching

773
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.920
or teaching, I'd be like, all right, guys, first, there's

774
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.679
a lot of different ways to handle these different elements

775
00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:29.519
of the parable. Since there's a lot of different ways,

776
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:32.719
maybe we should just look at what's the basic meaning

777
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:35.559
of the parable. Now. I don't know if he's going

778
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:38.559
to address any of this at all. I'm going to

779
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.679
go back to the Bible memory app It says here,

780
00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:45.079
the Lord commands these equal to convey a parable. Speak

781
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.159
a parable to the rebellious house, and say into them.

782
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:49.360
Thus says the Lord God, set on a pot, set

783
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:53.400
it on, and also pour water into it. The act

784
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:55.599
of setting a pot on fire serves as a symbolic

785
00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:59.000
representation of impending judgment. The use of a parable is

786
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.280
an essential prophetic tool. It allows the message to engage

787
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:05.320
the audience visually and mentally, making the seriousness of the

788
00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:15.320
impending events more palpable. Palpable. Yeah, okay, the hang on

789
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:20.039
you see here, I'm going to go deeper analysis, all right,

790
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:24.880
because it does offer a deeper analysis here. Okay, okay,

791
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.480
here we go AI for the Bible Memory app and

792
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.920
Ezekuel twenty four to three. The imagery of the pot

793
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.159
being set on fire is far more than a simple visual.

794
00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:40.039
The pot represents Jerusalem, the supposed secure and protected city,

795
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:43.840
and ancient Middle Eastern culture, a pot was a household

796
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:50.800
item used to prepare meals, often symbolizing nourishment, security, and provision. However,

797
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.719
as the parable develops throughout this chapter, the pot becomes

798
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:57.000
a place of destruction. It will not preserve its contents,

799
00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:01.119
but will instead cook them to ruin. The pot, once

800
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:04.679
a source of comfort, is now an instrument of judgment,

801
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:08.719
symbolizing how the cities perceived strength and protection fell under

802
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:14.920
God's righteous judgment. So Bible Memory, AI and chat Gpt

803
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:20.280
all seem to agree the pot represents Jerusalem. Both seem

804
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.480
to agree with that. Now, I don't think either one

805
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:25.840
really talks about the water. And he didn't talk about

806
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:27.559
the water Let's see if he goes back and breaks

807
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:30.760
these parts down, or if he just goes for what's

808
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:33.880
the overall message here, Let's see what happens here. But

809
00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:38.320
you already notice Ai is providing great detail, great detail,

810
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:41.880
breaking it down little, almost every part of this.

811
00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:46.719
And so he's to take and burn also the bones

812
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:51.119
under it, and make it boil well, and let them

813
00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:56.039
seethe the bones of it therein. So there's a picture

814
00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:59.000
here that God is painting for the nation of Israel.

815
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:04.800
In this pair of he's showing them the nature of

816
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:09.239
the people. As we'll see in the next point, that

817
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:13.119
he's using this illustration of the pot with water in it,

818
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:19.079
and of the choice portions of meat that are put

819
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:23.079
in there to boil. But as we see that, they're

820
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:25.920
put in there to boil until the water is all

821
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:30.559
boiled off, and then even as we see further, the

822
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:35.920
pot itself is melted down with the heat of the fire.

823
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:40.199
So God is showing a picture here how that the

824
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:45.360
nation of Judah had been blessed by God. And even

825
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:51.199
when the Babylonians came against them, Judah was not in

826
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:54.760
a place where they were bankrupt. They were not in

827
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:59.239
a place where the people were all famished. Although we

828
00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:03.199
know that in the time I'm Zedekiah that Babylon and

829
00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:11.079
camped against Jerusalem and starved them out. But they still,

830
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:16.079
even though they were starved out, they weren't all at

831
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.320
the point of dropping dead. But the point that God

832
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.519
is making here is that he had blessed the nation

833
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:29.119
of Judah, and yet they had rejected him, as he

834
00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:32.559
says in verse three, the rebellious house. They had rejected him,

835
00:55:33.559 --> 00:55:37.840
and they were going to be punished now, and there

836
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.320
was not going to be any discretion on the part

837
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:44.920
of the Babylonians as to who they would punish. They

838
00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:49.320
didn't just kill the lame and the cripple, but they

839
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:53.760
killed some of the better people, better in the sense

840
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:58.039
of healthy people, and they took some of the better

841
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:04.119
people captive. Daniel and his three friends. Ezekiel also was

842
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:10.280
a captive in Babylon while he's writing this. So there

843
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:13.880
was a danger here that the nation of Judah was

844
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:18.599
not paying attention to They were not listening to the

845
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:22.280
men that God had sent them to speak against them,

846
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:27.119
to warn them of the wickedness of their hearts. And

847
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:31.239
so God was going to use this parable to show

848
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.000
them further what he was doing. So the third point

849
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:39.960
we have is the meaning of this parable. What is.

850
00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:43.760
Okay, He's going right to the meaning, so he's not

851
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:45.519
really going to break it down much. I'm not saying

852
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:49.400
that that's necessarily wrong. I think that you if you're

853
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:51.119
going to try to equip people, you got to let

854
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:54.880
him know the way different things may interpret. Almost at

855
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:58.559
least two different AI programs are like, Hey, the pot

856
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:03.199
is Jerusalem. I asked chat GPT about the water. Here's

857
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:08.320
what chat GPT said. The water and the Bible memory app.

858
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:11.679
There're a artificial intelligence. You can't chat with it. You

859
00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:15.960
just click on basically deeper analysis or intelligence, and it

860
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:17.800
just breaks. It just gives you what it gives you.

861
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.760
You can't have a discussion with it. Chat GPT obviously

862
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:24.880
I can, which makes it great for hermeneutical work. Right,

863
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:27.360
But here we go. This is what AI said. The

864
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:29.920
water poured into the pot in Ezequel twenty four three

865
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:33.079
through five is part of the parable, symbolizing Jerusalem and

866
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:36.039
the judgment God is bringing upon it. The water represents

867
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.599
the environment which the pieces of meat the inhabitants of

868
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:43.719
Jerusalem are placed and subject to boiling. Here's a closer

869
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:48.440
look at its symbolic meaning preparation for judgment. The water

870
00:57:48.519 --> 00:57:51.760
is poured into the pot to boil the meat, symbolizing

871
00:57:51.800 --> 00:57:55.119
the process of judgment that God is initiating against Jerusalem.

872
00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:58.400
Just as water is necessary for cooking meat, the water

873
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:03.280
represents the context or conditions that will facilitate the execution

874
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:07.199
of divine judgment. So the pot is Jerusalem, the things

875
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:10.800
put in there, that's the people, and then the water

876
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:16.000
is really all the conditions and everything that is necessary

877
00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:20.400
to bring about this judgment. The water could represent the

878
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:24.079
siege and the suffering that the people of Jerusalem will endure.

879
00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:27.800
The boiling process parallels the increasing intensity of God's judgment

880
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.880
as the city is besieged, its inhabitants suffer, and ultimately

881
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:33.960
the city is destroyed. The act of pouring water into

882
00:58:33.960 --> 00:58:37.360
the pot demonstrates God's control over the situation. He is

883
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:40.960
the one initiating and overseeing the process of judgment, emphasizing

884
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:43.400
that the events to come are not random, but are

885
00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:48.320
orchestrated by God and response to his people's sin. The

886
00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:52.199
parable as a whole uses the pot and its contents water, meat,

887
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.280
and bones to depict the city of Jerusalem and its people.

888
00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:59.440
The water helps to draw out impurities the scum from

889
00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.559
the meats, symbolizing how the judgment will expose and deal

890
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:05.199
with the sin and corruption of the people. The boiling

891
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:10.400
water also emphasizes the the inescapable nature of judgment. Just

892
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:13.119
as the water surrounds and cooks the meat, the siege

893
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:16.079
of Jerusalem would envelop the city, leaving no one untouched

894
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:20.119
by the consequences of their rebellion. The idea of water

895
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:24.639
symbolizing judgment or a purifying process is seen in Isaiah

896
00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:29.199
one twenty five Malachi three two through three. These passages

897
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:32.440
resonate with imagery in Ezekuel twenty four, where the boiling

898
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:35.559
water serves to expose and purge the sins of the people.

899
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.800
The water poured into the pot represents the conditions of

900
00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:42.360
God's judgment upon Jerusalem. It symbolizes the environment in which

901
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:45.280
the people's sins will be exposed and dealt with, emphasizing

902
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:51.519
God's sovereignty and the end the inevitability of divine justice.

903
00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:54.440
Now see how much AI provided there, And it provided

904
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:57.559
that to me in about five seconds. Now, the sermon

905
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.960
didn't bother to go into any of this, all right,

906
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.559
I kind of talked about the bones a little bit,

907
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.519
but it didn't really, it didn't break any of it down.

908
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:10.480
Now that's okay, because a pastor could say, look, we

909
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:13.239
could break this down, but there's all kinds of interpretations.

910
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:15.719
What is the meaning? Now he goes directly to the meaning.

911
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:17.960
So let's see what he says. The meaning is here,

912
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:21.719
because this is really if everyone ends up to the right,

913
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.840
if everyone ends up to the same answer on what

914
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.159
it means, that's the most important thing. So let's see

915
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:27.639
what happens.

916
01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:33.280
Is this parable all about in verse six? Wherefore, thus

917
01:00:33.320 --> 01:00:35.639
say it the Lord God. So there we see again,

918
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:43.880
Lord God, Lord, aDNA, God Jehovah, woe to the bloody city,

919
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:48.559
to the pot whose scum is therein and whose scum

920
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:52.239
is not gone out of it? Bring it out piece

921
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:58.159
by piece, let no lot fall upon it. Now, it's

922
01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:01.840
interesting as we see that word blood and bloody here

923
01:01:02.039 --> 01:01:06.480
in these next verses, God taught the nation of Israel,

924
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:09.079
and he taught all the way back to Adam, and

925
01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:14.679
Adam and Eve sinned that God killed an animal, shed

926
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:17.400
the blood of an animal in order to provide a

927
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:21.719
coat for Adam and Eve. And the blood and the

928
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:26.320
sacrifices of blood sacrifices that God taught Adam and Eve

929
01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:31.840
and also Noah, and also the nation of Israel. Those

930
01:01:31.880 --> 01:01:36.559
blood sacrifices were to make an atonement for the sins

931
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:42.079
of the people. The word atonement means a covering. And

932
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.320
so as the people were to bring their animals and

933
01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:48.039
give them to the priest, and the priest was to

934
01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:52.199
kill them and put the flesh of the animal on

935
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:55.760
the brazen altar, and the blood was to be taken

936
01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:59.880
and sprinkled, and once a year taken into the holiest

937
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:03.719
place and sprinkled on the mercy seat there. And that

938
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:06.519
was for an atonement for the sins of the people.

939
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:11.880
But here we see that the city is guilty of

940
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:16.239
shedding blood, and the blood is not a covering for them,

941
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:23.000
but it's condemning them because of their rebellion. So woe

942
01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:26.880
to the bloody city. To the pot whose scum is

943
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:30.880
therein and whose scum is not gone out of it,

944
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:36.880
bring it out piece by piece, let it not, let

945
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:42.000
no lot fall upon it. Now, the word scum, the

946
01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:47.280
Hebrew word translated as scum there means disease or rust.

947
01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:53.599
So it's talking about impurities and the scum that comes

948
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:56.280
when you boil the meat and the bones. That's scum,

949
01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.760
that's the impurities that's coming out of the bones and

950
01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:04.719
out of the blood, and that is normally scooped off

951
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:10.880
and thrown away. But it tells us here that they're

952
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:15.639
not supposed to let the scum fall, no lot fall

953
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:19.679
upon it. Verse seven. For her blood is in the

954
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.559
midst of her She set it upon the top of

955
01:03:22.599 --> 01:03:25.960
a rock. She poured it, not upon the ground to

956
01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:30.920
cover it with dust. So here the point is that

957
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:35.920
God is making is that the blood Normally, if you

958
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:41.199
want to, like Cain tried to when he killed his brother,

959
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:45.440
and God says his blood is crying out from the ground.

960
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:49.280
But here it says that the blood is on the rock,

961
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:53.320
and it's not on the ground where the dust can

962
01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:59.559
cover it. So the sin of Judah here is exposed,

963
01:03:59.719 --> 01:04:02.960
and there's no covering for it. So as I mentioned before,

964
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:06.000
and the blood of the animal was to be for

965
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:09.280
an atonement for the sin of the people, but they

966
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:12.679
were not making an atonement to God. They were sacrificing

967
01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:17.519
to idols. And so the blood was upon the top

968
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:19.400
of a rock. And of course the rock is not

969
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:22.000
porous it's not going to let the blood soak in.

970
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.800
And so the nation of Israel couldn't hide their sin.

971
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:32.400
They were guilty. They couldn't hide it. They couldn't cover

972
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:36.880
it up because it's on a rock. Then in verse

973
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.719
eight it says that it might cause fury to come

974
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:45.320
up to take vengeance. I have set her blood upon

975
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:49.280
the top of a rock that it should not be covered.

976
01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:56.840
So God here is intentionally exposing the sin of Judah.

977
01:04:59.119 --> 01:05:01.719
He does a little bit of work on verse seven.

978
01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:05.159
There's a lot there not to work on, so artificial

979
01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:08.800
intelligence breaks it down this way. This is chat gpt

980
01:05:09.039 --> 01:05:14.760
the blood. It says this verse Ezequel twenty four to seven.

981
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:18.480
Let me go here, It just all right. Here we

982
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:22.400
go this Ezekuel twenty four to seven. This verse uses

983
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:26.800
vivid imagery to describe the guilt of Jerusalem personified as she,

984
01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:31.599
and it's unrepentant, and it's unrepentant shedding of innocent blood.

985
01:05:31.800 --> 01:05:34.559
The verse emphasizes how the city sins, particular acts of

986
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:39.440
violence and injustice, are exposed and unhidden before God. The

987
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.440
blood she had shed in her mist The phrase refers

988
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:45.360
to the guilt of Jerusalem for acts of violence oppression

989
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:50.039
and shedding innocent blood in her myths indicates that these

990
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:53.280
sins are not hidden or isolated, but are pervasive throughout

991
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:57.079
the city. She put it on a bare rock. This

992
01:05:57.119 --> 01:05:59.760
suggests that Jerusalem has made no effort to hide or

993
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:03.800
it sins. And ancient times, blood from sacrifices or killing

994
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:06.800
was often poured on the ground and covered with dust

995
01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:11.199
as a symbolic act of atonement or burial. You can

996
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:14.880
read about this in Leviticus chapter seventeen. So now Ai

997
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:19.159
provides us greater context and an understanding that typically had

998
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:21.159
been poured on the ground and covered with dust as

999
01:06:21.199 --> 01:06:23.360
a symbol of atonement. Now he mentioned it a little bit.

1000
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:26.360
I didn't go in any great detail, but he gave us

1001
01:06:26.360 --> 01:06:29.239
a little bit here. By placing the blood on bare rock,

1002
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:32.960
the city openly displays its guilt, making it impossible to conceal.

1003
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:35.920
She did not pour it on the ground to cover

1004
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:40.039
it with dust. Covering blood with dust was a way

1005
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:44.199
of showing respect for life and acknowledging guilt or seeking atonement.

1006
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:46.719
And then he did make a reference to Genesis four,

1007
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:51.639
which Ai does and livid and Leviticus seventeen thirteen. The

1008
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:57.079
refusal to cover. The blood symbolizes Jerusalem's blatant disregard for justice, repentance,

1009
01:06:57.199 --> 01:07:02.159
or respect for life. Right, So there we have it,

1010
01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:06.360
and it offers some cross references. There So AI provides

1011
01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:10.519
obviously greater detail, summarizes it, breaks it down in very

1012
01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:16.400
specific individual parts. Once again, AI is doing far more

1013
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:19.880
than the sermon and making it abundantly clear.

1014
01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:27.719
Now, as we've said, God would want to forgive them,

1015
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:33.000
He would want to provide that mercy toward them so

1016
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:36.280
that they could continue to serve him. But they were

1017
01:07:36.280 --> 01:07:40.360
not interested in serving him. They were going their own way.

1018
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:46.639
They were intent on defiling the True God and going

1019
01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:50.679
their own way. And so God says that it might

1020
01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:54.679
cause fury to come up to take vengeance. I have

1021
01:07:54.800 --> 01:07:58.280
set her blood upon the top of a rock, and

1022
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:03.039
it should not be covered verse nine. Therefore, thus say

1023
01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:08.400
it the Lord God, woe to the bloody city. I

1024
01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:13.760
will even make the pile for fire great. When God

1025
01:08:13.800 --> 01:08:17.359
pronounces a whoa, it's not a good thing.

1026
01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:23.439
Now when you consider the structure of the sermon, the

1027
01:08:23.479 --> 01:08:27.520
whole first part, that introduction about Canada and media and

1028
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.159
Israel and God, none of that has anything to do

1029
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:33.600
with anything that came after. The introduction was a complete

1030
01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:36.359
disconnect from what came after. It didn't even really lead

1031
01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:39.079
you into it really in any way, shape or form.

1032
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:43.479
So but now, because we're already over an hour, then

1033
01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:47.560
let's just have Ai just give us what's the parable about.

1034
01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:49.960
Here's what Ai says. The parable of the bowling pot

1035
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:54.000
in Ezekul twenty four symbolizes God's judgment on Jerusalem for

1036
01:08:54.039 --> 01:08:57.680
its persistent sin and rebellion. Here is the core message.

1037
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:02.840
Number one, Jerusalem corruption exposed. The pot represents Jerusalem and

1038
01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:06.279
the meat and bones inside symbolize its inhabitants. The scum

1039
01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:09.439
or filth refers to the moral and spiritual corruption of

1040
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:12.560
the people, which cannot be cleansed through ordinary means. The

1041
01:09:12.600 --> 01:09:16.800
city's sins, including violence, idolatry, and justice, are so pervasive

1042
01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:22.079
that they have become inseparable from its identity. Number two,

1043
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:25.119
the inevitability of judgment. The bulling of the pot and

1044
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:28.159
the burning of its contents represent the siege and destruction

1045
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:31.000
of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Just as the bulling water

1046
01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:35.600
draws out impurities, God's judgment exposes and purges the city's sins.

1047
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:40.079
The fire intensifies consuming even the pot itself, showing that

1048
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:45.640
nothing will escape God's wrath, including the city itself. Number

1049
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:48.640
three the finality of God's judgment. God declares that the

1050
01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:54.359
judgment is irrevocable. Despite his previous attempts to cleanse and

1051
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:56.880
correct the people, they refuse to repent. Now the time

1052
01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.640
for mercy has passed and the consequences of the rebellion

1053
01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:04.760
are unavoidable. Number four Accountability for sin. The Parable emphasizes

1054
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:07.680
that jerusalem suffering is the result of its own actions.

1055
01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:11.039
The people's unrepentant sin and rejection of God's warnings have

1056
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:14.920
brought about their downfall. What are the key themes? God's sovereignty.

1057
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.960
God is in control of the judgment, orchestrating events to

1058
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:21.520
fulfill his purpose human responsibility. The people are held accountable

1059
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:25.079
for their sins and rebellion, justice and purification. The judgment

1060
01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:28.079
is not arbitrary, but serves to expose and deal with sin.

1061
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:31.960
What is the takeaway? The Parable warns of the consequences

1062
01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:37.399
of persistent sin and unrepentance. It illustrates the holiness of God,

1063
01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:41.600
the seriousness of sin, and the inevitability of divine justice

1064
01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:43.840
when mercy is rejected. It serves as a call to

1065
01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:48.199
repentance and a reminder that God's patience has limits. There

1066
01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:52.359
Ai broke the entire thing down for you, so you

1067
01:10:52.479 --> 01:11:05.800
understand it all in a clear, concise way. There we go.

1068
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:08.399
I'll just let him speak a little bit more and

1069
01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:12.079
then you can compare and contrast. And we didn't even

1070
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:14.920
get to everything the Ai did. I mean, I've got

1071
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:17.600
pages of notes here what Aai did. I was just

1072
01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:20.119
picking and choosing different parts, trying to put it in

1073
01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:22.880
context with the sermon, and going back and forth. But

1074
01:11:22.920 --> 01:11:26.720
if I was to take everything Ai did within seconds,

1075
01:11:27.640 --> 01:11:31.439
it would have given me. It would have given me

1076
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:33.800
everything I could have ever wanted to know about Ezekiel

1077
01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:36.920
twenty four. And it even gives me things to study further.

1078
01:11:37.079 --> 01:11:40.520
It offers me discussion, discussion questions, It gives me all

1079
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:42.800
possible problem. It goes through everything.

1080
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:51.000
God knows what he's doing. He wanted He raised up

1081
01:11:51.039 --> 01:11:55.800
the nation of Israel to serve him, to glorify him,

1082
01:11:56.359 --> 01:11:58.800
to be a light to the nations around that the

1083
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:02.119
nations around would see the importance of turning to the

1084
01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:06.920
true God, trusting in the true God, and forsaking their idols.

1085
01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:13.600
Did God raise up Israel to be this perfect example

1086
01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:16.520
to all the other nations. If you ask me, he

1087
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:19.840
raised up Israel to be a perfect example of man's

1088
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:23.960
inability to keep the law. Israel's the perfect example of

1089
01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:28.279
we can't keep the law. We can't, we fall short,

1090
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:32.760
we spend our life condemned by the law. But we

1091
01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:38.199
could get into a theological discussion there, well, we could

1092
01:12:38.199 --> 01:12:41.680
get into a big discussion here. All right, let's see here.

1093
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:47.479
I'll let him continue. I'll let him Continue'll let him continue.

1094
01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:52.960
But Israel had chosen to abandon the true God, and

1095
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:56.359
they chose to take the idols of the pagan nations

1096
01:12:56.399 --> 01:13:00.319
around them. So God says here that he's going to

1097
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:04.760
make a pile for fire. Great. Now, if you've been

1098
01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:08.960
paying attention to the news, you know that California right now,

1099
01:13:09.000 --> 01:13:13.960
I think its Los Angeles, California is on fire. The

1100
01:13:14.039 --> 01:13:18.119
area that's burning right now is the area where the wealthy,

1101
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:25.119
wealthy of the wealthy live, and the people there, many

1102
01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:30.319
of them, are very immoral, very pagan, and there houses

1103
01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:34.239
many houses have burned down already, many businesses have burned down.

1104
01:13:35.640 --> 01:13:39.159
One of the reasons for these fires that they're having there.

1105
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:41.880
The news is telling us that they haven't had rain

1106
01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:46.800
there since last summer. I think they said, but one

1107
01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:49.960
of the reasons that they're having the fires is because

1108
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:55.239
the governor of California, mister Newsom, has refused to allow

1109
01:13:56.039 --> 01:14:01.079
them to direct the rain water that comes to direct

1110
01:14:01.119 --> 01:14:04.399
it so that it will come and flow and water

1111
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:09.439
that particular area of California. There's a lot of rainwater,

1112
01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:13.279
a lot of it is going straight into the ocean

1113
01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:17.680
instead of being directed to flow through that area and

1114
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:21.000
provide water for the trees and whatever else. And so

1115
01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:25.640
it's very dry. So that makes for good firewood to

1116
01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:26.720
make a good fire.

1117
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:30.760
Okay, now he's making another claim. I don't know what

1118
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:34.640
this has to do with Ezekiel twenty four. Hey, I

1119
01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:37.760
said wildfires in California are primarily caused by a combination

1120
01:14:37.800 --> 01:14:42.920
of factors, including drought, climate change, human activity. The claim

1121
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:46.079
that Governor Knwsom's policies on rainwater management are a primary

1122
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:50.439
cause lacks evidence and oversimplifies a complex issue. Additionally, the

1123
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:54.199
assertion about rainwater being directed to prevent fires is not

1124
01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:58.880
a standard wildfire prevention method. So once again he's making claims,

1125
01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:03.800
making accus Now maybe he's right. Maybe Ai is incorrect.

1126
01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:06.319
But the point is, you see what happens at the

1127
01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:08.600
beginning of the sermon, and now here in the middle

1128
01:15:08.800 --> 01:15:12.359
he's making accusations and claims which, if not correct, he's

1129
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:17.319
bearing false witness. That's a sin, ladies and gentlemen, and

1130
01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:19.720
eli that it's pulling. Now is he going to get

1131
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:22.920
this wildfire stuff? Back to ezequel twenty four? Let's see.

1132
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:29.399
Personally, I believe that California has been for years already

1133
01:15:29.479 --> 01:15:33.399
under God's judgment. It's one of the more wicked states

1134
01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:37.520
in the United States. It's Hollywood being there and promoting

1135
01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:43.159
a lot of wickedness, and a lot of new age

1136
01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:49.680
and ocultic stuff goes on in that state. And I

1137
01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:55.199
believe that this is just another step of the destruction

1138
01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.199
of the United States.

1139
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:02.600
So the fires are a judgment. Hey, guys, your house

1140
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:05.279
is burning down because God is judging you because you're pagan.

1141
01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:10.680
Now what happens when the storms hit in a area

1142
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:15.680
where it's not the wealthy pagans but it's the poor believers?

1143
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:19.880
I mean what happens? I mean, I mean, how many

1144
01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:22.479
reports do I need to get about storms here, floods here,

1145
01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:26.760
tornadoes here? Are they being I can't stand this, like,

1146
01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:30.039
if anything bad happens, oh, God's judging them. Well, bad

1147
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:33.319
things happened over here, is God judging them? And who

1148
01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:36.119
are you to speak about who God is judging? Do

1149
01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:51.239
you have some insight? Again making absolute dogmatic accusations, This

1150
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:54.000
is what AI has to say. Linking the fires to

1151
01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:58.600
perceived in morality or paganism lacks evidence and it's completely speculative.

1152
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:01.319
And not only that, you could be bearing false witness.

1153
01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:07.319
How many times in storms churches are burnt to the ground.

1154
01:17:07.479 --> 01:17:09.600
I mean right here, I've seen it right here in

1155
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.520
the local area where wildfires have burned the houses down

1156
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:20.479
of Christians, have burned down churches. I've seen where tornadoes

1157
01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:25.039
have destroyed churches. Is that God's judgment upon the church?

1158
01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:29.199
Isn't that the same mistake Job's friends made. Well, you

1159
01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:32.079
had to have done something wrong for this bad stuff to.

1160
01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:39.760
Happen because of their wickedness. So we'll see what they

1161
01:17:39.800 --> 01:17:43.199
do with this afterwards. But there's a lot of houses

1162
01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:47.239
burned up. They showed this today. The people were fleeing

1163
01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:50.920
in their vehicles and for some reason they stopped driving

1164
01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:53.960
their vehicles, and the road was the main highway was

1165
01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:58.600
blocked so emergency vehicles couldn't get through, and so they

1166
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:01.520
brought a bulldozer in because of people had stopped driving

1167
01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:03.520
and got out of their vehicles. Ran. I don't know

1168
01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:05.520
what the point of that would be, why you wouldn't

1169
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:09.840
drive out of the fire area, but they abandoned their vehicles,

1170
01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.520
so they had this bulldozer there pushing the vehicles off

1171
01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:16.520
the road so that the emergency vehicles could get through.

1172
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:22.840
But that's what happens. When lost people get into a

1173
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:24.399
state like that, they panic.

1174
01:18:27.880 --> 01:18:32.720
Lost people panic. Christians don't. When Christians are faced with

1175
01:18:34.079 --> 01:18:38.800
I'm a large tragedy, a catastrophe, they never pan. Just

1176
01:18:38.920 --> 01:18:40.279
lost people panic what.

1177
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:49.239
Oh man, And they don't think rationally, and they don't

1178
01:18:49.319 --> 01:18:54.000
realize the danger they're putting others into by their irrational thinking.

1179
01:18:55.720 --> 01:18:57.640
So in verse ten, it says heap.

1180
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:03.640
On, I'm just gonna stop that is oh man. Yeah,

1181
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:07.960
lost people they're just irrational and panic and they can't

1182
01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:11.840
handle difficulties. But Christians, of course, we're always rational, always

1183
01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:15.800
never have a problem. Oh give me, okay, nothing has

1184
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.319
nothing to do You see why AI wins every single time.

1185
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:21.600
AI would have not have added any of that to

1186
01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:24.079
the text, would not put any of that in the text,

1187
01:19:24.119 --> 01:19:27.359
would not have made false accusations born false witness. You

1188
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:30.600
just heard a sermon where basically you heard sin and

1189
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:35.239
a sermon, and all of that did what detract from

1190
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:38.680
Ezekiel twenty four. This is why I keep saying AI

1191
01:19:39.239 --> 01:19:46.079
is better than sermons. Preachers, We, including me, we say

1192
01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:50.359
things not accurately. We put our opinions in. We add

1193
01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:55.600
subjective judgment. We sin because we are sinners, so our

1194
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:59.840
sin manifests itself and our preaching either we are judging,

1195
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:06.399
we're condemning, we're accusing, we are showing self righteousness. That's

1196
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:11.000
what we'd including me. AI doesn't do any of that.

1197
01:20:11.039 --> 01:20:16.520
AI will just break down the text, break down the parable,

1198
01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:21.600
and if I need extra clarification, AI will give.

1199
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:24.119
It to me in five seconds if I need any

1200
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:37.520
extra clarification. So we've done three. Really, we did two

1201
01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:40.359
sermons where we just had AI analyze them and we

1202
01:20:40.399 --> 01:20:43.920
solve the problems. This is a third. The third one

1203
01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:47.319
we actually listened to while comparing it to what AI

1204
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:49.479
was doing with it, we didn't even really get into

1205
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:52.560
everything AI was I wasn't even able to cover everything

1206
01:20:52.600 --> 01:20:54.800
AI was doing because I had to spend so much

1207
01:20:54.840 --> 01:21:04.079
time dealing with this other nonsense. So far, AI's won

1208
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:11.960
every single time. And if you compare my sermons to AI,

1209
01:21:12.199 --> 01:21:15.520
AI would win every single time. If you compare AI

1210
01:21:15.800 --> 01:21:19.439
to any broadcast I do, AI would win every single time.

1211
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:26.279
AI can be concise. Now there is AI gonna make mistakes. Yes,

1212
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:31.399
there are gonna be problems, yes, based on whatever whatever

1213
01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:35.279
it's accessing, whatever information it has. AI did not know

1214
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:38.359
that the Prime Minister of Canada had resigned, or at

1215
01:21:38.439 --> 01:21:42.359
least no, I'm sorry AI did not say that. AI

1216
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:47.359
said that the transcript provided no evidence of which that

1217
01:21:47.479 --> 01:21:49.359
is true. I mean he made all kinds of claims

1218
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:51.960
and provided no evidence of AI was more calling out

1219
01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:54.920
that it made claims without and it stated something was

1220
01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:57.039
illegal when it was okay, all the different things that

1221
01:21:57.119 --> 01:22:00.960
it did. So I could have asked AI if it

1222
01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:03.880
knows if the Prime Minister of Canada has stepped down,

1223
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:06.000
And I don't know if he can access that information

1224
01:22:06.119 --> 01:22:07.439
right now, but it probably can.

1225
01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:17.439
In fact, I'll just see, has the Prime Minister of

1226
01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:20.239
Canada step down.

1227
01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:31.039
Resigned? Yes? Okay?

1228
01:22:31.239 --> 01:22:31.920
So uh?

1229
01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:35.600
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on January

1230
01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:37.560
the sixth, twenty twenty five, he stated that he would

1231
01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:40.079
step down as both the leader of the Liberal Party

1232
01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:42.359
and and as the Prime Minister once a new leader

1233
01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:45.039
has chosen. This decision follows a period of declining public

1234
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.319
support and internal challenges within his party. And then it

1235
01:22:48.359 --> 01:22:53.039
gives me. He starts giving me all the sources BBC, Politico,

1236
01:22:53.239 --> 01:22:56.159
Financial Times, the New Yorker gives me all kinds of

1237
01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:59.960
different sources. So yes, so AI knows that as well.

1238
01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:06.560
So there you have it. I don't know what to do.

1239
01:23:07.199 --> 01:23:12.359
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what

1240
01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:14.640
do we do with this? I mean, what what does

1241
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:21.239
this mean for the future of preaching? What does it mean? Like,

1242
01:23:21.399 --> 01:23:24.359
I know, we're only in January the ninth, and we've

1243
01:23:24.439 --> 01:23:27.560
kind of just this has just became the we I

1244
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:29.359
hadn't know. I didn't know where we were going in

1245
01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:32.039
twenty twenty five, all right, I didn't know, but just

1246
01:23:32.159 --> 01:23:34.600
already early What what I mean, what conclusion can you

1247
01:23:34.680 --> 01:23:37.319
come to? What's the point of sermons, ladies and gentlemen.

1248
01:23:37.920 --> 01:23:39.560
I mean, look at all the things that happened in

1249
01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.000
that sermon that I mean, like, if I believe it

1250
01:23:42.039 --> 01:23:44.279
crossed the line into bearing false witness you can choose,

1251
01:23:44.279 --> 01:23:46.840
and then making an accusation that, hey, in a minute,

1252
01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:48.760
all these people got out of the car and ran

1253
01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:52.600
because they're lost. Because lost people just panic. Lost people

1254
01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:55.880
do irrational things, and the face of tragedy. I mean,

1255
01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:59.479
that isn't that is so like I don't even have

1256
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:07.680
words for that. I found myself in some crazy situations

1257
01:24:07.680 --> 01:24:10.079
in the military and sometimes with Christians, and they didn't

1258
01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:18.359
always handle themselves in rational ways. That come on, now,

1259
01:24:19.439 --> 01:24:32.039
that's just redoub oh man, oh man. I mean, we've

1260
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:35.319
done three sermons, ladies and gentlemen, We've only just done three,

1261
01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:42.600
and look what has happened. And then all three AI

1262
01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:48.359
pointed out factual errors, just incorrect statement three for three.

1263
01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:53.640
And I mean AI right now, AI three humans zero,

1264
01:24:54.239 --> 01:25:05.319
AI three sermons zero. If we keep going on this

1265
01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:07.239
direction by the time we reach the end of twenty

1266
01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:11.119
twenty five, I'm not even I don't even I don't

1267
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:13.199
even know how long I can go before I just

1268
01:25:13.239 --> 01:25:14.800
like I give up. I don't know, I don't even

1269
01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:16.479
know what to I don't even know what to say,

1270
01:25:17.239 --> 01:25:19.479
so I just will stop. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you

1271
01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:25.199
for listening everyone have a great evening. The end
