Psalm 83: I Was Wrong

00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:07.919
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:15.400
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Tuesday, July the ninth,

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.839
twenty twenty four. It is currently
two thirty five pm Central Time,

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:25.879
and I am coming to you live
from the Theology Central studio located right here

5
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:33.679
in Abilene, Texas. Now,
if I take all of my schooling that

6
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.960
I have accomplished in the realm of
theology and the realm of the Bible,

7
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.200
if I take all of that,
my associate degrees and religious education and biblical

8
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.439
studies, and I don't know if
I have one. I'd have to look

9
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.000
at all my diplomas and all my
degrees, Bachelors in theology, Biblical studies.

10
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.840
I think, maybe also a bachelor's
and religious education, Masters and theology

11
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.799
Biblical study, maybe one in religious
education as well. If I take all

12
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.079
of my degrees and diplomas and everything, all my schooling, all of my

13
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.200
education in those areas, those specific
areas of biblical studies, religious education,

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.079
and theological studies, if I take
all of them combine, do you know

15
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:26.000
what the number one lesson I have
learned from all of that? What do

16
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.439
you think the number one lesson you
take all my diplomas, all my degrees.

17
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.280
It doesn't matter if it was a
Bible college, a Bible institute,

18
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.040
or a seminary, doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter if it was a big school,

19
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.879
small school, if it was kind
of a church type school for like

20
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.680
a Bible institute, it doesn't matter. The number one lesson I have gained

21
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.760
from all of that education, That
number one lesson would be what do you

22
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.799
think? Come on, what do
you think? It would be all of

23
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.680
my diplomas, all of my degrees. The number one lesson I can take

24
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.640
from all of them, The number
one lesson I can take from all of

25
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:10.000
them is this. You have to
be willing to acknowledge and admit to yourself

26
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.319
and to others that you were wrong. You have to be able to admit

27
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.560
it. You have to be able
to acknowledge it. You have to be

28
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.879
able to recognize it. You have
to be able to see it. You

29
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.000
have to be able to go.
It doesn't matter how many degrees that have.

30
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.240
It doesn't matter how many times I've
studied this text, doesn't matter how

31
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.520
many times I've written papers on this
side. I have to be able to

32
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.319
acknowledge and admit that I am wrong. I put it this way. If

33
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.520
you can't, if you don't reach
that point, there's no point in pursuing

34
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:46.080
more education. There's no point.
Education is the process of you realizing how

35
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.400
wrong you are. That's what education
is. Education is the process of learning

36
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.840
how much you don't know. Education
is the process of realizing how wrong you

37
00:02:54.039 --> 00:03:00.919
have been. Education is the process
of realizing how ignorant you really are.

38
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:05.639
That's what education is all about.
It's not to build your ego. It's

39
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.039
not to make you feel more important. It's really to break you down and

40
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.240
to demonstrate you thought you knew something, See how much you don't know.

41
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.840
You thought you had the right answer, See how wrong you really were.

42
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:21.479
That's really the goal. And I
think it's even more important in theological education.

43
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:28.759
I think in theological education it's an
absolute essential that you are constantly confronted

44
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.840
with the fact that you have been
wrong, you did not know the answer.

45
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.400
A lot of times many It really
happens a lot in seminary and Bible

46
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.439
college. The people come out arrogant, full of themselves, conceded, thinking

47
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.159
that they know everything, and they
speak down to everyone else. And it

48
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.759
drives me crazy. That's something went
wrong in your educational process. You should

49
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.159
walk out going, WHOA, you
know what? I don't know very much.

50
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.240
In fact, there's a lot I
need to know. And that's just

51
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.400
spent four years, eight years,
depending on how many degrees and diplomas you

52
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.680
were pursuing. You want to come
out of it going you know what,

53
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.840
you know what I learned, how
much I don't know? So I'm going

54
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.879
to walk in humility, not in
arrogance. That's how it should work.

55
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.160
And if you think about it,
that really parallels and it really is a

56
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.959
good picture of the Christian life.
Hey, whether you like to admit it

57
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.360
or not, every time you open
your Bible, you know what, you're

58
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.759
confronted with how wrong you are,
how sinful. You are confronted with your

59
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.560
sin. You're confronted with your failure. You're confronted with how wrong you are.

60
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.720
Now, I know we have a
tendency to go to the Bible thinking,

61
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.319
wow, it's amazing God always agrees
with me. But it's not the

62
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.639
case. You should be constantly confronted
with hmm, you know I used to

63
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.600
think this, Maybe I was wrong. If you can't approach the Bible and

64
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:57.360
a teachable spirit with humility being able
to acknowledge that you are wrong. That's

65
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.120
why I constantly say you're past understanding
is of no present value. Whenever you

66
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.560
open the Bible today, whatever you
thought yesterday, you've got to be willing

67
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.279
to change and admit that maybe you
were wrong. It's never fun. But

68
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.720
if you don't like admitting you were
wrong, Christianity is not for you.

69
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.040
Because every day open the Bible,
I realize I'm a sinner. Oh,

70
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.240
I'm a sinner. I'm a sinner. Oh. I may be able to

71
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.560
clean up the outside, really really
really really good. Right. I may

72
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.160
be able to clean out the outside
so that no one can make any accusation,

73
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.040
no one can accuse me of anything. But does that really make me

74
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:46.279
better? No? Because inside I'm
nothing but filthy, rotten flesh and bone,

75
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:54.040
And spiritually speaking, I'm I'm I'm
full of decay and corruption inside.

76
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.120
Oh I may clean up the outside, but inside I'm still a mess.

77
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.759
So on one hand, from a
human perspective, yes, I cleaned up

78
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.040
the outside. Everyone is happy,
no accusations, no one hurt. Great.

79
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.639
Inside I'm like I'm a piece of
total trash. I'm a dumpster fire.

80
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.040
So but I've got to be willing
to admit that. Well. I

81
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.160
say all of that one because I
want you to gain a practical lesson from

82
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.800
what you are about to hear.
Because ladies and gentlemen, I have turned

83
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.279
on the microphone this afternoon to tell
everyone I know this is going to come

84
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:34.399
as a shock. I was wrong
about Psalm eighty three. I got it

85
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:42.199
completely wrong, and I'm very frustrated
with myself. Look, sometimes I am

86
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.160
wrong because of the way I teach. I like it to be very organic

87
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.360
and like we're working through it together
almost in real time. So that's that's

88
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:56.240
absolutely that's a guarantee that I'm gonna
make mistakes when I'm working through it in

89
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.959
real time with you live on the
air, or maybe sometimes I'm working through

90
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.160
it in real time with the people
at you know, at at a church

91
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.439
or at the church and Victory and
Tuschool and ovalo. I that's going to

92
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.839
happen. I'm gonna misspeak, I'm
gonna say, because I'm doing it in

93
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.480
real time. I like doing it
in real time because it allows everyone to

94
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.240
be a part of the process.
But it does make it sometimes a little

95
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.800
there's a chance I'm going to be
wrong, but that's okay because we're working

96
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.199
through it in real time. Sometimes
I can be wrong, but it's kind

97
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.279
of much more. It's not that
I'm really wrong. It's more of a

98
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.079
I hate to say, a ploy. It's kind of a part of the

99
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.279
process. Sometimes I like to throw
out an idea knowing I don't necessarily agree

100
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.439
with the idea because I'm doing it
to say, hey, what about this,

101
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.519
Like throwing it out as a hypothesis
even though I know I'm going to

102
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.240
be going in a different direction to
get everyone else to work on it and

103
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.600
see if we can come to a
different conclusion. Sometimes it's much more like,

104
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.879
hey, I could this be the
right way? When I know it's

105
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.480
not the right way. In this
particular case, I'm very frustrated because I

106
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.000
thought I was right, Like this
is one that I had researched, I

107
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.000
had notes copied down. In fact, I read directly from other sources.

108
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.720
And I think now that I can
say that I was wrong. And I

109
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:31.920
think what happened is I found a
source that confirmed what I was thinking,

110
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:39.639
and instead of questioning the source or
doing extra work, it fit my narrative

111
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.279
that I went along with it.
But lo and behold, I now have

112
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.519
to admit that I was wrong.
So are you ready? Okay, all

113
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.840
of you remember in some eighty three
how this all started. Right where we're

114
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.519
doing the sermons two point oh app
sermon challenge. All of us are supposed

115
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.840
to be listening to random sermons every
single day, right this week, you're

116
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.120
be listening to random live webcast.
Okay, well you're listening to one now,

117
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.840
so I guess you're you're accomplishing that. Okay, all right, so

118
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.279
we're supposed to be listening to others
than me, but okay, you get

119
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.679
the idea. So I doubt on
that particular week, we weren't doing live

120
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.759
webcast. We were just doing random
sermons. So I downloaded a bunch of

121
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.000
sermons on my iPad because I was
going to be doing a lot of driving

122
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.840
around, and I had one that
said the Coming Middle East War, and

123
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.000
I'm like, ooh, this could
be good. Fits perfectly with my series

124
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.600
on eschatology. The only problem is
when I had play, I saw the

125
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.879
entire title p eighty three the Coming
Middle East War, and then I was

126
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.840
completely con perplexed, confused, confounded, because I was like, what is

127
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.600
Psalm eighty three is? Not,
well, this has nothing to do with

128
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.279
the coming Middle East war? Where
where is this coming from? So I

129
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.559
started listening to that series and we
reviewed messages from that series, and as

130
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.440
we've reviewed messages from that series,
I'm just going to be honest. At

131
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.679
times, I've grown very frustrated with
the series. I have grown very irritated

132
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.799
with this series. I felt that
there's things been said in the series that

133
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.399
are just absolutely factually not true,
just absolutely and error. In fact,

134
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.039
I've looked up some of those things
in real time to fact check, and

135
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.679
I'm like, this is just not
accurate. Where is this coming from?

136
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.519
Right? So I've been very frustrated. Then we listen to a message where

137
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.200
it connected saw many three to second
Chronicles twenty saying that Jehosaphat called in Asaf.

138
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.159
Well that's impossible, Asaff was dead. So once again, just completely

139
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.960
factually wrong. So I get frustrated, and I got really frustrated. But

140
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.759
even though I've been frustrated, one
of the things I try to do is,

141
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.080
no matter how much I may disagree
with a minister or a ministry,

142
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.360
I always try my best to get
as much out of their teaching as I

143
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:56.279
can, And no matter how much
I disagree, always be willing, just

144
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.799
like that, to change my mind, to admit that I was wrong,

145
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.320
to admit that my understanding hasn't been
in crect just like that, because it

146
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.000
doesn't matter they I may disagree with
them nine hundred percent doesn't mean that I'm

147
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.799
always right. I've always got to
be willing to change my mind. Well

148
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.799
that that original series is now up
to like part twenty six, twenty seven,

149
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.360
twenty eight, and maybe up to
part twenty eight. Now let me

150
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.120
look here. It's just they keep
adding and adding and adding. I think

151
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.440
I'm gonna click here. I'm gonna
click if I can get it to work.

152
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:39.080
It is currently at twenty eight parts, twenty eight parts. Now the

153
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.000
series at times is maddening because I
don't even know what they're talking about.

154
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.120
It doesn't have anything to do with
saw eighty three. Well, early this

155
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.559
morning, I don't know, four
am, five am. My neighbor across

156
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.159
the street. I don't know what
they're working on. There's some project putting

157
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.600
up a fence. I don't know. There was sawing and hammering and drills

158
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.960
and and then they started mowing the
yard. It was it was like by

159
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.440
five thirty am. I was like, okay, I can't. I can't

160
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.679
slit, and I don't care.
I'm not one of those to complain.

161
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.279
I want my neighbors to make as
much noise as they possibly can, twenty

162
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.360
four hours a day. I'm that's
the way I am as a neighbor.

163
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.919
Hey, have a party, blair
your music, break things, shoot things,

164
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.440
be as loud as you want,
because then you can never complain about

165
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.679
how loud I am. Right,
okay, So it's a good thing.

166
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.919
So I don't care that they were
loud, but it woke me up,

167
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.480
and so I'm like, okay,
Well now that I'm wait, I gotta

168
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.799
make good use of this time,
right, I gotta make good use of

169
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.559
this time? So what did I
do? I grabbed my iPad and I

170
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.480
looked for a live webcast. Obviously
there were none, and so I looked

171
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.440
at my feed on the sermon's two
point oh app and I'm like, what

172
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.000
some eighty three part twenty eight.
You gotta be kidding me. I'm like,

173
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.440
okay, so do I listen to
that one? Well? I'm like,

174
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.440
well, I'm a couple behind.
Let me go to part twenty five.

175
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:07.200
So I went to part twenty five. And then he mentioned something and

176
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.000
immediately I thought, no, no, no, no, you're wrong.

177
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.279
But see, now here's the thing. I got no problem saying you're wrong.

178
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.000
But what I've always tried to do. And I'm not saying I always

179
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.919
do this right, but I've always
tried you're wrong, But I'm going to

180
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.360
go now do a couple of hours
of research to either prove that you are

181
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:35.720
indeed wrong or to possibly correct myself. Because what is the number one lesson

182
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.440
I've learned from all the Bible colleges, all the seminaries, all the degrees

183
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.879
I have religious education, theological studies, biblical studies, everything that I've done,

184
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.639
The one lesson is that you've got
to be willing to admit that you're

185
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.799
wrong. You've got to so I
always have to check myself. So I

186
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.679
was convinced that I was in the
right, so I was going to go

187
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.240
research to prove Wait, this person
is wrong, right, I'm just gonna

188
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.480
There was almost a little bit of
arrogance to it. I see, I

189
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.919
didn't quite learn my lesson from all
of that schooling. I should have went,

190
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.519
oh, no, I could be
wrong, let me go check,

191
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.600
but I kind of went to check
to go. I'm gonna show that this

192
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.039
guy has made another absolute horrible mistake, and I come to find out that

193
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.559
I'm the one who made the mistake. Are you ready to hear this?

194
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.320
We're gonna review. We're gonna start
from the beginning, and we're gonna review

195
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.159
this and see if you can find
my mistake. Do you think you can

196
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.799
find it? Do you think you
can? Whoever can identify my mistake?

197
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.080
First, you win absolutely nothing.
And if you tell me that I was

198
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.919
wrong, then I will never speak
to you again. Okay, maybe maybe

199
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.320
that's maybe that's not quite I'm not
quite showing the humility now. But let's

200
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.200
see if you can find out where
I was wrong? Are you ready?

201
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.399
Here we go. Thy word is
a lamp onto my feet and a light

202
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:05.039
onto my path. This is Gary
Neron, welcoming you to the Lamp and

203
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.519
Light Broadcast, coming to you from
the studios of Central Baptist Church in beautiful

204
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:15.200
o' Calla, Florida. Lamp and
Light is a ministry taking a Book of

205
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.360
the Bible, verse by verse,
teaching as it is to men as they

206
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.039
are, without compromise or apology,
speaking the truth and love. And our

207
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.639
purpose is to give the lamp and
light to all. Yesterday in our study

208
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.559
of Psalm eighty three, we were
talking about some of the weapons that the

209
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.279
enemies of Israel have. Let's continue
with that discussion today. Now here is

210
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:50.200
our teacher and pastor, doctor Andy
Bloom again. I just have to keep

211
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.480
saying this. I'm always impressed with
their intros. Their intros are so good.

212
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.840
I love it. I love everything
about their intro is perfect. They

213
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.960
got I wish I had that such. I wish my intro was that good.

214
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:04.879
Okay, I don't know if I
would go with the same kind of

215
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.360
vibe, but I like there it
because I don't know if that vibe would

216
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.600
fit me. That vibe really wouldn't
fit me, but it fits what they're

217
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.960
trying to do. Very well done. Love it, Love the production,

218
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.720
love it all. But wait,
they're gonna be talking about the weapons that

219
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.279
the enemies of Israel has. Okay, wait, wait, what is happening

220
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.000
here with Saw eighty three? Okay? See, this is where some of

221
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.000
my frustration with this series has gotten
because so many times I'm like, I

222
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.440
just don't understand what this has to
do with Saw eighty three, and I

223
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.559
have been because of this series,
though I have worked so hard to try

224
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.720
to give people something that I think
can be applicable to what's going on in

225
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.200
Saw eighty three. That's what we've
been doing hour after hour. So I

226
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.399
this series has definitely driven me to
try to do something worthwhile with sau Mady

227
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.639
three. But whenever I go back
to how they're handling, I'm just sometimes

228
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.480
baffled. So okay, so when
you see the enemies that are we going

229
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.559
to look about their spiritual weapons?
Are we going to get into some discussion

230
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:18.799
about physical Okay, let's see what
we can learn here just for even associating

231
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.319
with Christ that name, even though
they may not be doctly on the same

232
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.039
place that we are, they're getting
put to death. And that's again I'm

233
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.680
going back to two thousand and I'm
telling you I did this series back in

234
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.880
twenty ten a lot of research,
I mean hours upon hours upon hours of

235
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:45.200
research to get here. Well,
we find out that these people Abspring,

236
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.200
what did they do? They break
their treaties, they break their promises.

237
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:59.400
They broken treaties and promises with Israel, and the numbers are staggering. Now

238
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.400
this is where like wait, the
Arab Spring, how is Saw eighty three

239
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.720
has nothing to do with the Arab
Spring, Like where is this coming from?

240
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.960
Like say, this is what's so
confusing to me. It's like,

241
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.680
wait, saw eighty three the Arab
Spring? We would we would now back

242
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:21.720
during the Arab Spring. Many of
you who listen today won't will not know

243
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:27.000
this. I was broadcasting almost around
the clock during the Arab Spring, talking

244
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:32.079
about all of the situation and who
was doing what and what was happening and

245
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.480
what was going on. And that's
basically when I'd fallen into it, basically

246
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.440
doing a news podcast, even though
that was never my intentil well, what

247
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.559
wasn't even called a podcasting at that
time. I think I was just doing

248
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.880
broadcasting on the Arab Spring, hour
after hour hour. I mean it was

249
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.880
it was crazy. I never want
to go back to the way that whole

250
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.599
thing went down. So I know
a little bit about it, but I

251
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.799
never went like, saw eighty three
the Arab How is the Arab Spring?

252
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.720
Saw eighty three? I just don't
know. I just don't know. But

253
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:10.039
I see where he goes against Israel. Hesbe Law has a ten thousand man

254
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:19.920
brigade with forty thousand missiles. Some
of those missiles have long range capacity.

255
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.240
What does some eighty three you have
to do with HESBLA and their army and

256
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.559
the number of missiles that they possess. See this is where I just like

257
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.119
And so when I started listening,
Look, I'm just gonna be fully transparent.

258
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.359
I'm gonna be fully transparent here.
Okay. At this point, I

259
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.359
was just getting irritated. I'm like, why why what I and the part

260
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.720
of me is like, why you
even keep why are you even listening?

261
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.720
You disagree with their approach to the
text, You've been frustrated. Now what

262
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:49.720
you're gonna do is you're gonna start
fact checking all of this, and then

263
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.799
you're gonna be tempted to turn on
the microphone to go see they got this

264
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.759
wrong. They got this wrong,
they got this wrong. And so immediately

265
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.559
I was like, you know,
you're being kind of an arrogant jerk,

266
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.599
right, how about you just shut
up and listen and see if there's something

267
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.279
you can learn and even if you
disagree with their approach, see what you

268
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.039
can gain from it. But I'm
telling you, at first I had a

269
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.319
very negative attitude, and then I
had to tell myself. I think I

270
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.319
even stopped it a couple of times
and said I'm gonna go listen to something

271
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.119
else. But then I came back. I think I came back multiple times

272
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.559
because I started getting frustrated realizing I
was having a bad attitude. And there's

273
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.880
no justification for having a bad attitude, but I just was having a bad

274
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.720
attitude and not being very godly.
Okay, I know that's a shock,

275
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.200
but I wasn't being very godly.
Now, maybe again, nobody would have

276
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.440
to know that so I could,
I could turn on the microphone and go

277
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.359
I was listening this morning, and
I was just like, God, show

278
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.680
me something important in this text,
and I saw something so I could make

279
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.079
myself sound like I was all godly
and spiritual. But I was an arrogant,

280
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.000
condescending jerk thinking I was just gonna
look up all of this information to

281
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.920
try to prove someone wrong and then
stop doing that. Just try to listen.

282
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.680
Not because God spoke to me,
just because I was having my own

283
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:11.400
internal battle with my own depravity and
well, so at this point, at

284
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.599
this point, what you're listening to
now, I was just getting irritated and

285
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:30.799
frustrated with with the capability of carrying
heavy payloads along with chemical and biological warheads

286
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:40.400
which they seem to have. Syria
now again, I'm talking twenty ten,

287
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:47.319
twenty eleven had a five hundred thousand
man army with the latest equipment of the

288
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:53.839
day that was supplied to them,
how by Russia. And if you'll look

289
00:21:55.160 --> 00:22:06.480
at the early war of Russia down
against Israel of the Tribulation, you'll see

290
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:14.799
that Russia seems to be going through
Syria on that trip. Again this morning,

291
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.319
I just wanted to scream, what
does this have to do with Saw

292
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.359
eighty three? Has nothing to do
with Saumady three? How are you gonna

293
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.559
connect this to Saw eighty three?
Saw eighty three. It's not about some

294
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.559
future event. It's describing what was
happening at the time. I've only,

295
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.920
you know, stated that seventy five
thousand times, and I think I've been

296
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.799
able to demonstrate that textually and everything. Hey, saw eighty three, they

297
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.759
are describing what is happening at that
time. All right, So at this

298
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.440
point, I'm just being honest with
you. I'm just getting more frustrated.

299
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.960
I'm just getting more frustrated. I'm
just getting more frustrated. Let's see if

300
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.880
you can hear when, if you
can hear when I'm about to get confronted

301
00:22:53.039 --> 00:23:04.400
with how utterly foolish and wrong I
was. It is also said that Hamas

302
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:14.720
has above ten thousand missiles and it's
believed that the Egyptian military, And again

303
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.359
it says it is believed and this
comes from military people and others undercovering all

304
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:26.039
that, but nothing that is printed
as far as saying this is the actual

305
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:32.440
legal proof. Now they may have
it, but some things that are documented

306
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.960
are hidden. Now all of that's
just bizarre. They may have it,

307
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.839
they may not. There's nothing actually
documented, but some things are documented are

308
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.400
hidden. So then where did you
get your information from? And only that

309
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:52.200
supposedly he's quoting from information from twenty
ten, it's twenty twenty four. So,

310
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.079
like the whole thing is just bizarre
to me, Like, so I

311
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.440
got this information, but it's hidden, but you got the where did you

312
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.119
get the inform? Do you have
a military source? Do you have military

313
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.200
intelligence that are faxing you? I'm
going to just use outdated, outdated technology.

314
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.720
Did they facts? You? You
know? Military intelligence going here's the

315
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.519
weapon capability and the military capability of
Hamas of Hesbelah, of Egypt, of

316
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.680
rus like what so, like you're
a church that's receiving military intelligence. Look

317
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.400
where did you get the information?
He doesn't cite a source. Now again,

318
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.240
when I was listening this morning,
that's this is the way I was

319
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.359
talking. I was getting irritated,
and I was getting frustrated. Okay,

320
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:36.880
and so and guess what I wanted
to do. I wanted desperately to grab,

321
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.119
you know, my iPad and just
start researching. Boom boom, boom

322
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:41.279
boom? Is that true? Is
that true? Is that true? And

323
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.839
then I wanted to turn on the
Then at least I thought, I thought

324
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.960
about, then I'll just do a
broadcast going once again, we're in saw

325
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.599
Maty three. But this has nothing
to do with saw Mady three and this

326
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.680
is wrong and this is wrong,
and this is wrong and this is wrong

327
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.799
and this is wrong. But then
I thought, you know what, I'm

328
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.599
tired of doing that. I'm not
going to do that in any way,

329
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.640
shape or form. But I but
I was like, Okay, be over

330
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.960
in a couple of minutes, and
then I can just say I listened to

331
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.480
it. And because I'm going to
listen to every one of these, just

332
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.240
because I stated I was going to, I have to fulfill that obligation.

333
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.839
Maybe it's one thing I can do, right, maybe you know I'll at

334
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.640
least do that well. At some
point, though, something is going to

335
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.960
be said that proves I'm an idiot. All right, are you ready?

336
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.400
Here we go. Let's see if
you find it. Let's see if you

337
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.839
can detect it first. And we
have that arm government. I mean,

338
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:32.319
there's things on FBI files that we
don't know about it. Maybe there may

339
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.519
be things about yourself, about me
on FBI files that I don't know what

340
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:44.440
they say, but they're there.
But the Guitran military has more than all

341
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:52.319
of these others I've just mentioned,
and with the nuclear capability of which they're

342
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:59.759
afraid that in the wrong hands would
be a big problem. And with this

343
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:07.960
Arab spring, it could be a
big problem. It I'm just so confused

344
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:14.359
with this Arab spring. It could
be a big problem. The Arab spring

345
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.839
is over. Okay, what what
do you what are we talking? I

346
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.519
don't even understand. I don't even
understand. What do you mean? It

347
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.759
could be you mean it possibly was
a big Like why are we even talking

348
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:27.920
about the Arab Spring? What does
that have to do with P eighty three?

349
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.079
And what is that gonna do with
twenty twenty four. Okay, now

350
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.920
so you can hear my frustration.
Okay, so this is this is this

351
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.519
is the way I was say.
I wasn't being godly, I was not

352
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.319
being humble. I had not learned
that lesson that I should that I learned

353
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.480
from all of my years and Bible
colleges is hey, hey, always be

354
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:51.160
willing to admit that you're wrong,
Stay teachable, stay humble. Didn't become

355
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.240
that, but it could have been. Okay, well, he said,

356
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.359
okay, good thing he had got. He did admit. It didn't become

357
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.079
that, but it could have.
Okay, So it didn't become that.

358
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.400
Okay, great, thank you for
admitting it did not become that. None

359
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.200
of this happened, none of the
none of the speculation happened. All right,

360
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.319
So what has this got to do
with Psalm eighty three? Right?

361
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:25.279
You're in the Arab spring thing,
but your government, our government released to

362
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:33.400
Egypt, even though they were trying
to help the Ab spring in Egypt,

363
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:53.319
they released to them two hundred million
just before Mwbari till he the he dedicateddate

364
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:59.960
to Egypt. And I say we
I'm talking about America for military use.

365
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.240
Okay, what has that got to
do with PSAW eighty three, America released

366
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.319
two hundred million I'm assuming dollars to
Egypt prior to for military use prior to

367
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:18.920
the Arab Spring. Okay, I
I don't understand it was that based off

368
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.799
in the prior agreements? Like what's
what's I don't understand what the he's saying

369
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.240
it in such a sinister way,
like so did are you saying America caused

370
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.640
the Arab spring? Like what does
that got to do with SAW eighty three?

371
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.200
See, but you see what my
temptation is here, right to look

372
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.000
up all of this, to look
all of this up and go, no,

373
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.480
well, this is not accurate,
this is not accurate, this and

374
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:44.400
all like that, what is the
source in what you're quoting all this information

375
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.759
from you? You're you've got this
source from somewhere? What is the source?

376
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.720
Right? So like that, but
and again what does this have to

377
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.400
do with SAW eighty three? But
but but but well have you have you

378
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:56.720
detected the part where I was wrong? Yet? Yeah? Haven't? Okay,

379
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.440
Well keep listening see if if you
hear it. Now, let's look

380
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:11.359
at those four verses with that background
that, because how don't you see these

381
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.160
things? And you know we have
hit these things. We've tried to hit

382
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.759
it as clearly as we came.
Again, this goes back over ten years

383
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.440
ago, and this is twenty twenty
four. I did this in twenty ten,

384
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:29.880
presented in our church. You could
actually go to our website Central Baptistocala

385
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:34.720
dot org. And when you scroll
down on that page and you look for

386
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:41.559
sermons by Bible. You clicked onto
the Bible, go down to the Book

387
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.720
of Psalms and click down to get
Psalms eighty three. You'll see all the

388
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.240
sermons. You can hear all the
sermons I preached on Psalms eighty three.

389
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.519
So it looks like he's utilizing information
from his sermons series in twenty ten,

390
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.559
and in referencing that some of that
material. Now you already know my feelings

391
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.680
about that. You should never use
past material. You should never use past

392
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:10.039
notes in a present teaching, ever
under any circumstances ever, ever, ever,

393
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.359
ever, ever, ever, because
if your past information was wrong,

394
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:17.319
then that becomes present wrong. Don't
ever do that. You always study start

395
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.319
over, brand new, afresh.
But some ways I want to go back

396
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.759
and listen to everything he said in
twenty ten, just because because then I

397
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.440
could connect it with the Arab Spring. Since he's making it about the Arab

398
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.720
Spring, I wonder how much he
connected saw Maty three to the Arab Spring

399
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.559
in twenty ten, and if he
did, well, did he get did

400
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.759
he get all of that? Was
he gonna? I don't. I would

401
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.079
be interesting to know if he said
it in twenty teny, Hey, the

402
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.359
Arab spring is saw maybe three coming
go being fulfilled. I don't know what

403
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:49.920
he did. I still don't.
I don't understand any of this, okay,

404
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.200
but but what did he say where? I immediately realized that I'm the

405
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:00.759
idiot. Let's see here and get
it before this radio series that we listen

406
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:11.000
to it. But these first four
verses here he says, keep not thou

407
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:21.440
silence, don't be mute. Now, this was baffling to me. He's

408
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:26.240
in part twenty eight, and we're
going back to verse one, or this

409
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.519
is he's part twenty five, Part
twenty five going back to first one.

410
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:34.960
Like the whole structure of this is
just baffling beyond all comprehension to me.

411
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.680
I just don't get the structure.
But okay, okay, okay, So

412
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:44.079
we're back in verse one, all
right? Now, at this point.

413
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.240
I got a little excited, right, so now my attitude started changing,

414
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:49.480
right, forget all of that.
Let's not get into that. He's in

415
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:55.359
the text all right now. Now
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.

416
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.960
Let me let me see if I
can get something from this. Have

417
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:00.400
you have you heard where I was
wrong yet? Have you? Have you?

418
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:08.640
Okay, let's keep listening about this
is what he's saying. So he

419
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:16.559
says, keep not silence, Oh
God, hold not thy peace, don't

420
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:25.519
be death at what we're saying,
and be not still, don't refrain from

421
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:38.559
helping. Oh God. Why does
he say Oh God twice here? Because

422
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:49.480
he's approaching the Almighty God, not
to the false gods of those nations that's

423
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:55.240
surrounding them right now. And this
is a call for God to judge the

424
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:04.799
enemies of Israel. Now. The
theologians called this in precatory psalm. An

425
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:14.839
imprecatory psalm is a one of a
prayer to God to invoke God's wrath on

426
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:22.920
the wicked. At that very moment, I reached over him. Pause and

427
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.240
like he called it in a precatory
song, no no, no, no,

428
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.079
no, no no no no.
This is not an a precatory psalm.

429
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.359
This is a communal lament, this
is a lament song. So immediately

430
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.880
I was like, okay, I
is this one of the situations no one

431
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:43.920
can agree if it's an imprecatory or
a lament. If we can't even agree

432
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.079
if it's an imprecatory or a lament, well then that's once again, this

433
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.039
demonstrates the impossibility of ever interpreting the
Bible. Okay. So I'm like,

434
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:52.960
all right, well, let me
look this up. So I started looking

435
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.000
up, and all of a sudden, I was like, I'm many idiots,

436
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:02.759
gidiot, and literally I wanted to
just delete my podcast and like,

437
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:08.320
I give up because even though I
did extensive research. In fact, I'm

438
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:14.800
going to read some of the research
I did before, it appears that the

439
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:19.920
majority call this an imprecatory psalm and
I did not. Now what makes me

440
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.159
mad? If you go back and
listen I don't know which, maybe part

441
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.320
one part two that I did at
Victory, a Baptist church. You can

442
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:32.880
hear someone in the church. I
believe. I believe her name is Sarah.

443
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.199
Sarah. I won't give the last
name. I believe she is the

444
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:42.159
one who I think when I asked
what type of psalm. It is classified

445
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.400
it as an imprecatory psalm. And
you hear me say no, it has

446
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:53.199
elements of an imprecatory psalm, but
this is a lament psalm. So someone

447
00:34:53.880 --> 00:35:00.519
gave me the right answer and I
said no, which only in intensifies how

448
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:06.440
stupid I feel today. I cannot
believe I got this wrong. As soon

449
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.199
as he said I was gonna look
at I was gonna look it up to

450
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:13.719
prove him wrong. Now, the
good thing is I was following my advice.

451
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.119
You always have to be willing no
matter what you hear. You don't

452
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.880
just immediately say someone is wrong.
You got to go do your own Before

453
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.360
you can say someone is wrong,
You've got to go do the work to

454
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.960
prove there. You can't say someone
is wrong until you prove they are wrong.

455
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:31.559
If you haven't proved they're wrong,
you have no business saying they're wrong.

456
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.280
I think that's a very good principle
to operate from. But I was,

457
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.800
I really I was convinced, I'll
look this up, And immediately I

458
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.440
started looking up, going what did
I do? Why did I call this

459
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:45.239
a communal lament? Now, if
you'll remember, I'm going to go through

460
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.880
some of my notes here. I'm
gonna go through some of my notes here

461
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:52.800
really quick. All right. The
book of Psalms contains a variety of psalms

462
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.440
that can be categorized into different types
based on their themes, structure, and

463
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.000
purpose. All right, we have
a pray. We have the praise psalms

464
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:06.880
are sometimes referred to as hymns.
These psalms focus on praising and glorifying God

465
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.679
for his attributes, deeds, and
character. They often express There often include

466
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:16.360
expressions of adoration, thanksgiving, and
exaltation. Examples of these would be Psalm

467
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.360
eight some one hundred and Psalm one
fifty. These are praise psalms or hymns.

468
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:24.639
The second kind. I'm gonna skip
to a second kind. We'll go.

469
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.360
We'll call the next one the second
kind, even though it's not in

470
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.760
my nose. Thanksgiving psalms. These
psalms give thanks to God for his goodness,

471
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:37.440
faithfulness, and provision. They often
including recounting of past experiences of deliverance

472
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.760
or answered prayers. This is Psalm
thirty some one hundred and Psalm one sixteen.

473
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.079
We have what we call wisdom psalms. These psalms focus on imparting wisdom

474
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:51.519
and moral teachings through poetry and metaphor. They often contrast the righteous and the

475
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.559
wicked and emphasize the value of seeking
God's guidance. This would be Psalm one,

476
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:59.559
Psalm thirty seven, Psalm one nineteen. All right, we have royal

477
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.920
psalms. These psalms celebrate or pray
for the king or ruler of Israel and

478
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.920
emphasizes the divine authority given to the
monarch. They often express confidence in God's

479
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:13.599
protection and blessings upon the king.
Examples of these would be Psalm two,

480
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.159
Psalm twenty, and Psalm seventy two. We have penitential psalms. These psalms

481
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:22.039
focus on confession of sin, repentance, and seeking forgiveness from God. They

482
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:28.719
express deep remorse and a desire for
restoration of relationship with God Psalm fifty one,

483
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:30.920
Psalm thirty two, and Psalm one
thirty. Okay, so I went

484
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.599
through all of those. All right, sounds really good, sounds academic.

485
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.920
Everyone understands the different types of psalms. Great, well, I had two

486
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:45.920
categories left. One is what I
referred to as or what is referred to

487
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:52.920
as not just me lament psalms.
These psalms express sorrow, grief, distress,

488
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:58.079
and a cry out to God for
help. They often include elements such

489
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:04.480
as petition, complaint, please for
God's intervention. Some examples of these would

490
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.639
be Psalm thirteen, Psalm twenty two, Psalm eighty eight, and I told

491
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:14.519
everyone Psalm eighty three. And not
only did I call it a lament,

492
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:20.159
I called it a communal lament because
other resources said that. In fact,

493
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.280
one source. And I don't know
which commentary or dictionary I received this from,

494
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:29.920
but Psalm eighty three is often classified
as a communal lament psalm. Communal

495
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:34.039
lament psalms are prayers offered by a
community of people, such as the nation

496
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.519
of Israel, rather than just an
individual. These psalms typically express a collective

497
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:42.639
cry for help, deliverance, or
justice on behalf of the entire community.

498
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.239
And Psalm eighty three, the palmist
calls on God to act against the enemies

499
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:52.119
of Israel for threatening the nation.
The psalm describes the various nations conspiring against

500
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.679
Israel and ask God to intervene on
behalf of the people. The intensity of

501
00:38:54.719 --> 00:39:00.760
the plea of God's protection and justice
aligns with the characteristics of a communal or

502
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:07.599
a lament psalm, especially one that
reflects a communal concern. So I was

503
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.679
like, this is this is a
lament palm, this is a element.

504
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.280
I was convinced it was a lament
psalm right. In fact, there's a

505
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.679
part of me that still wants to
make an argument that it is a lament

506
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:24.079
sum because but the reason why is
because of verse one. And this really

507
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:29.920
began to fit. And see what
happened is the research was was confirming my

508
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.079
own bias. See my own bias
is what do I do with Psalm eighty

509
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.280
three? Everybody wants to make this
about a war or this or that about

510
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:42.039
something in the future, or or
going to second chronicles. That doesn't seem

511
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.519
to it. But I knew what
I could do with it. Do not

512
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:51.119
keep silent, Oh God, do
not hold your peace, and do not

513
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.159
be still, Oh God. Now
immediately when I read that, I'm like,

514
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:59.360
okay. Even in the New King
James, there's exclamation points thereafter Oh

515
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.639
God. He says, this is
showing the intensity of the emotion of the

516
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:08.039
plea. They are worried, they
are concerned, they are filled with distress,

517
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:14.440
They're bothered, and Asaf is now
taking the concerns of the people and

518
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.760
crying out to God and a communal
lament, and they're like, God,

519
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.559
where are you? What are you
doing? Oh, here's what's going on.

520
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:24.760
And then they lay out exactly why
they're filled with concern and why they

521
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:29.440
are wondering where God is. And
even though they believe it a God in

522
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.880
whom they cannot see, they're living
in circumstances which they can see, and

523
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.119
those circumstances are making with in them
question where God is or his involvement or

524
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:43.400
even his existence. And so it
all fit perfectly. Now, Yes,

525
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:51.239
I understand that he describes the enemies, he he talk, he lists the

526
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.000
enemies. He asked them to deal
with the enemies in the present as he

527
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.960
had dealt with enemies in the past. And then I understand verse thirteen and

528
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:06.360
following have a different characteristic. There
thirteen and following I agree is does not

529
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.480
have a lament as much as it
has an imprecatory nature. So I felt

530
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:19.519
this was a lament psalm with an
imprecatory section right, or at least elements

531
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:22.840
of an imprecatory song, an imprecatory
psalm. If you do not know,

532
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:30.039
is this these psalms contains prayer for
God's judgment and punishment upon the enemies of

533
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.440
the psalmist or of God. They
express strong emotion of anger, frustration,

534
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:40.679
and a desire for justice. Well, I felt that the lament part was

535
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.639
found in verse one. That's truly
a lament. To me, that's not

536
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.880
so much, Hey God destroy them. That's more like, God, where

537
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.880
are you? I don't. This
is not like, hey, God kill

538
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:54.880
them. This is more like God, could you bother to show up?

539
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:01.000
Now? Yes, starting in verse
thirteen, very much an imprecatory section.

540
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.280
Oh my God, make them like
the whirling dust, like the chef before

541
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:10.920
the wind. But I so I
feel that the lament, the communal lament,

542
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.920
captures the overall essence. But he
when he said in precatory, I

543
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.679
was like, no, no,
no, no, no no. And

544
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:24.519
I started looking it up. And
immediately what did I find? I found

545
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:31.199
sources that went along with it.
In fact, I started I started looking

546
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:37.960
up AI artificial intelligence, and the
chatbot said this. Psalm eighty three is

547
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:44.119
generally classified as an imprecatory psalm rather
than a lament song. A precatory psalms

548
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:47.079
are those in which the sammist calls
upon God to bring judgment or curses upon

549
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:53.159
their enemies. These psalms are often
express express feelings of anger, frustration,

550
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:58.639
a desire for justice against those who
have wronged the Ssawmist or the people of

551
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:01.280
Israel, and Psalm eighty three pm
as pleased with God to act against the

552
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:05.880
enemies of Israel. Lament psalms,
on the other hand, are characterized by

553
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:10.320
expression of sorrow, morning or a
sense of being overwhelmed by suffering or injustice.

554
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.679
The psalms often include petitions for help, expressions of trust in God,

555
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:19.639
and declarations of faith in the midst
of difficult circumstances. And now see when

556
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.239
I read that paragraph, I'm like, that's a Psalm eighty three is a

557
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:27.079
lament, Okay. So there's a
part of me that wants to fight this.

558
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.920
But I'm like, oh, so
I even got into an argument with

559
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:36.280
Ai. So I was like,
Ai, I've asked you now a couple

560
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:40.119
of times, and I know one
time you said it's a lament, and

561
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:49.519
one time you said it's a precatory. So could you clarify Ai said this,

562
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:58.119
I apologize for the confusion. Psalm
eighty three is often classified as a

563
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.400
precatory psalm rather than a communal life
and precaratory psalms. And it goes on.

564
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:05.440
It says, well, so many
three does contain elements of calling upon

565
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:09.800
God to act against enemies. It
focuses more in evoking divine judgment and deliverance,

566
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:15.199
so it says, rather than expressing
a communal cry for help or deliverance.

567
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:19.400
I disagree. Look, there's a
part of me that wants to fight

568
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:24.239
this. Oh I feel like it's
a communal lament and it fits better.

569
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:31.679
The and precatory part is at the
end, and even the imprecatory part is

570
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.840
I don't feel like it carries the
typically imprecatory is like destroy them, kill

571
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:39.599
them. And there is a little
bit of this, like you know,

572
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:45.079
basically make them like whirling dust,
like the chef as the fire burns.

573
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.480
I understand it's got that language,
but immediately look what it does that they

574
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.079
may seek your name. Oh Lord, Well, if you're saying, hey,

575
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.840
do all of this, that they
may seek you, that doesn't sound

576
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.719
like you're saying kill them. If
you're saying, hey, do all of

577
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.960
these so they will seek you,
nobody is seeking you if they're dead.

578
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:07.920
And then look at the next part, let them be confounded and dismayed forever,

579
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.440
let them be put to shame,
and it says, and perish,

580
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:15.199
but that they may know that you, whose name alone is the Lord.

581
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.559
I think it's using very poetic,
strong language, but clearly what the Sammis

582
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:23.320
really wants is for them to come
to know who the true God is,

583
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:30.239
for them to be filled with shame. Like it sounds like to me that

584
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:37.719
there's it takes the imprecatory nature and
almost what it pushes it back from being

585
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:42.280
truly in precatory in my estimation.
To me, in precatory is like destroy

586
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.079
them. They deserve to be destroyed. It's really an expression almost a frustration

587
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.880
and anger. We're here. It's
more of Lord, please help us,

588
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:55.440
Please, where are you? We
need you here? And I feel that

589
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:59.719
it's a communal lament because it's all
of Israel. And then it goes on,

590
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.679
hey, Lord, this is the
enemy, here's their name. Can

591
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:07.360
you do now what you've done?
Then? And then there's a little bit

592
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.360
of the expression of the anger.
But I think lament it can. I

593
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:15.480
think the lament can it can express
that as well. Now the question is

594
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:21.679
does it does it have a major
impact on how we interpret the song if

595
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:27.039
we call it an imprecatory versus calling
it a lament, does it change how

596
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:32.559
you interpret the song? If we
classify it as a lament, how should

597
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:37.679
we interpret it? And if we
classify it as in precatory, how should

598
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:39.760
we interpret it? Now? I
don't know, I'm gonna do this in

599
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:50.320
real time. I'm gonna ask Ai? Okay, okay, how would we

600
00:46:50.679 --> 00:47:01.119
interpret I'm gonna do this in real
time? Interpret p. Eighty three?

601
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:20.400
If we classify it as a lament
palm? And how would we interpret it

602
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:32.719
if we classify it as an imprecatory
If I can spell right, imprec a

603
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:39.880
tory? There we go? In
precatory? Some thank you for Ai for

604
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:45.119
telling me I was misspelling it.
Question Mark, enter, Let's see what

605
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:46.559
it says. Are you ready?
What do you think? What is it

606
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:53.480
going to impact our interpretation? Okay? Here we go? Are you ready?

607
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:57.960
When interpreting ssaw maybe three as a
lamit, some we would view it

608
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.280
as a communal cry for help and
a deliverance on behalf of the entire nation

609
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:06.400
of Israel. The psalmist representing the
community expresses a sense of urgency and desperation

610
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.480
and seeking God's intervention against their enemies. The language used in the psalm would

611
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.519
be seen as a plea for God's
protection favor in the face of external threats.

612
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:19.000
On the other hand, if we
interpret Psalm eighty three as an imprecatory

613
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.719
psalm, we would understand it as
a prayer calling upon God to bring judgment

614
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.480
and curses upon the enemies of Israel. The Psawmist invokes divine wrath and punishment

615
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.480
against those who seek to harm or
destroy the people of God, and this

616
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:35.119
interpretation, the psalm serves as a
plea for God's righteous vengeance and vindication.

617
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:39.280
Regardless of the classification, whether as
a lament or as an imprecatory psalm,

618
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:44.880
Psaw eighty three ultimately reflects the deep
faith and trust of the Psalmist and the

619
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:49.719
community, and God's power to protect, defend, deliver them in times of

620
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.840
trouble and adversity. Now, if
you hear that first part, when we

621
00:48:54.920 --> 00:49:00.320
interpret it as a lament psalm,
we would view it as a communal for

622
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:04.360
help and a deliverance on behalf of
the entire nation of Israel. The Psawmist

623
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:10.039
representing the community and expresses the Psalmist
representing the community of community expresses a sense

624
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:15.199
of urgency desperation, seeking God's intervention
against their enemies. The language used in

625
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:19.079
the psalm would be seen as a
plea for God's protection, favor, and

626
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.239
the face of external threats. That
is how I've been describing it so clearly.

627
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:30.079
I have followed that interpretation because I
have seen it as a limit palm.

628
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:37.440
If I see it as an impregatory
psalm, I well, even AI

629
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:42.360
at least thinks I should probably then
approach it somewhat different. If I approach

630
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.840
it, approach it as an a
precatory psalm, then I would understand it

631
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:50.000
as a prayer calling upon God to
bring judgment and curse upon the enemies of

632
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:53.239
Israel. It would be more about
they want these people destroyed. They're expressing

633
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:58.840
their anger, their need for divine
wrath and punishment, and they want and

634
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.519
they're seeking, they want but those
who seek harm to be destroyed. And

635
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:07.000
this interpretation of Psalm services as a
plea for God's righteous vengeance and vindication.

636
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:13.760
And I don't know if they want
vengeance and vindication as much as it seems

637
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:15.880
like they want the people to come
to understand who the true God is.

638
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:22.199
So I think that that there's a
part of me that wants to argue,

639
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.920
that that wants to argue. I
looked up number of sources, and almost

640
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:30.960
all the sources that I looked up
today all said in precatory and precatory and

641
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:35.480
precatory and practory. You're wrong,
You're wrong, You're wrong. I use

642
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:42.320
multiple AI sources. I use the
Copilot Microsoft Copilot browser, and it gave

643
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:46.920
me all of these sources, all
said in precatory, and I went with

644
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:54.159
lament. Now, I think I
can defend my lament hypotheses, but I

645
00:50:54.199 --> 00:51:01.440
think I may be prone to defend
my lament hypotheses on the basis of the

646
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:07.679
narrative I was creating to it.
So am I so committed to that narrative

647
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.119
that I cannot admit that I'm wrong. Look, I'm going to admit that,

648
00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:16.320
at least it appears from most sources, I was one hundred percent wrong.

649
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:21.639
Now I feel bad that maybe that
I have been wrong in my entire

650
00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:24.599
interpretation of the song. Now you
know what I love to do. I'm

651
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:30.519
going to place it in your hands. And now I'm frustrated that this he

652
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:35.119
didn't even bother to classify this song. Doing it sounds like Part twenty six.

653
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.880
Why wouldn't he doing this in part
one? I don't know. The

654
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.480
whole thing is confusing, but it's
still on me. It's still on me.

655
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:50.719
Do you think that I'm wrong and
that this is an imprecatory song or

656
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:59.079
do you think it's justifiable based off
the text to classify it as a lament?

657
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.800
And do you think it changes anything? AI believes that it changes it.

658
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.519
It changes your approach to the text. If we approach If we approach

659
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.760
it and saw many Somebody three is
an imprecatory song, then the way the

660
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:17.320
person we're listening to, then he's
right. This is about them wanting these

661
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:22.440
enemies destroyed. And I see it
more as they're crying out to God and

662
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.760
they're confused that God hasn't done anything, and they're doing everything in their power

663
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:30.480
to convince God. We need you
to do something because the situation is bad,

664
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:36.039
and when you do something, we
want it to be done so that

665
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:43.159
they may seek you, so that
they may know you. That that,

666
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:47.519
to me is radically different than an
imprecatory sum That's my argument, But but

667
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:52.920
I feel well I'm saying it.
I was wrong. It looks like this

668
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.719
should be classified as an imprecatory.
So now if you do research today and

669
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:02.199
you and you can find a good
like fifty If you can find a fifty

670
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:07.280
to fifty break with fifty percent say
lament, fifty percent say and precatory,

671
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:13.079
well great, I'll feel somewhat vindicated. But at the same time I'm going

672
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:17.480
to be very disturbed because ladies and
gentlemen, if we cannot even identify the

673
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:27.440
type of psalm, the MiGs hermoneutics
the most subjective thing on the face of

674
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:32.440
the earth. Now maybe that's a
little hyperbole, but it does bother me

675
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:39.559
greatly. So what do you think? And precatory or lament. Let's finish

676
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:47.519
reviewing the audio here and see what
he has to say. And an in

677
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:59.320
precatory prayer is vindication for the purpose
and will of God, not necessarily a

678
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:07.639
fleshly avenge, no, but to
honor God. The land belongs to Israel,

679
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:15.960
and this is a call to God
to defend it, as it was

680
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:20.920
God's gift and God's desire for Israel
to have it. Now you read the

681
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:24.039
Bible and you can't see that.
Then again, if you went to Christian

682
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:30.280
college, Sue the Christian College.
It's clear now I'm saying this to say

683
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:36.760
this now here they are, they're
praying God to do something. I believe

684
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:43.599
that God does lead us in prayer, sometimes in precatory praying. Somebody's trying

685
00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:50.239
to destroy the standards of your church. Somebody's trying to run down what the

686
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:55.280
church is doing this right who?
That makes me a little nervous. Hey,

687
00:54:55.320 --> 00:55:00.599
someone's trying to destroy the standards of
your church, you do go full

688
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:07.519
blown and precatory and ask them to
be destroyed. Man, that that's a

689
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:12.400
little frightening. And then you would
ask, how does an imprecatory psalm fit

690
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.679
with love your enemy, turn the
other cheek, resist not those who do

691
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:25.280
evil? Is a precatory psalm more
of a national psalm under a theocratic monarchy?

692
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:32.079
Or is it a precatory psalm for
us to use because someone is attacking

693
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:37.599
the standards of our church? Hey, so hey, you look, we've

694
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:40.159
got standards in this church about music
and you're coming in here and you're talking

695
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:45.920
about you. I pray God that
they be killed. I don't I think

696
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:49.119
it's a little I don't know,
that seems a little extreme to me.

697
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:54.400
It's a little you want divine justice
and vengeance upon peep eye. Whoa,

698
00:55:54.679 --> 00:56:00.480
whoa, whoa. That makes me
a little nervous. Medical that's good.

699
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:07.559
They make false accusations, Listen,
I'm a pastor. I have lived with

700
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:14.840
all kinds of false accusations they come
in. I think one of the most

701
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:22.960
unfortunate things. It's not so much
the false accusation, but have had stand

702
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.199
at the bedside of people of their
last days, even close to their last

703
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:38.239
breath, apologizing for the critical spirits, for their lives, for the things.

704
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:43.440
I've seen people that have done that, and suddenly they're taken out of

705
00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:51.119
this world. Whoa. So you're
saying people died because they were critical of

706
00:56:51.199 --> 00:57:02.360
you and your ministry. Woo man
live and should we pray an imprecatory song

707
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:09.360
because someone is critical of our ministry. I can promise you this for all

708
00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:14.679
those who are critical of me,
and you could accuse me, make accusations,

709
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.719
may even be able to prove your
accusations or critical of me. I'm

710
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.480
never going to pray for anyone's demise
or death. I mean, I get

711
00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:25.679
some serious I get emails that may
threaten me, but I'm not going to

712
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:30.840
pray for anyone's death or destruction or
an imprecatory psalm. What I think I'm

713
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:37.639
supposed to do is love my enemy
if if I have done wrong, and

714
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:42.400
hopefully I would admit that I have
done wrong, hopefully hopefully. I mean,

715
00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.159
I'm an ungodly person, so you
know, maybe I wouldn't. I

716
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:52.159
don't know, but that's that seems
crazy to me. Like, if we're

717
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.599
going to apply the imprecatory that God
will sometimes lead us into an imprecatory song.

718
00:57:55.679 --> 00:57:59.559
Well there's God leading outside of the
Bible again. Do you think in

719
00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:07.960
precatory psalms belong under the kind of
the concept of a theocratic monarchy where God

720
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:12.559
is kind of governing controlling Israel,
and Israel can play pray for the destruction

721
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:16.239
of their enemies. This God specifically
promised in many cases to destroy their enemies

722
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:22.880
in certain situations. I mean,
like, I don't man, that that

723
00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:29.880
makes me. That makes me a
little nervous. I don't know they've died.

724
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:35.960
It just seemed like God was shown
me there's a person. It could

725
00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:38.440
have brought damage not just to you, but to the church to so much,

726
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:45.719
and God took them on out.
I believe that I believe that that

727
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:49.440
person could have done damage to you
and to your church, and God took

728
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.519
them out. Ladies and gentlemen,
if God's going to step in and start

729
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.840
killing people who's a threat to your
church, then by all means, stop

730
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:01.719
the nonsense of having guns and security
teams. If God's going to take people

731
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:06.320
out who are critical of your church
and ministry, if God's going to start

732
00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:09.719
killing people like that, then please
stop locking your front door and stop worrying

733
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:15.400
about guns. Stop being so pro
gone. You've got God who kills people

734
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:24.880
on your behalf, and there is
no joy for me if God takes a

735
00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:29.480
person out. Want of people have
apologized to me. I was thankful they

736
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:36.920
apologize under death bed and I didn't
need confront about what they've done. God

737
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:42.719
evidently had confronted them. I was
thankful I could say, oh, listen,

738
00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:47.880
that's the past we're going to see
in heaven. You think maybe what

739
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:51.239
you would do would be like God, God, God, if you're killing

740
00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:53.320
this person for me, could you
can maybe you stop? Maybe maybe you

741
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:57.440
heal them. Maybe maybe I don't
know, Lord, Hey, I don't

742
00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:01.519
want them to die, I said, being thankful they're apologizing. Maybe you're

743
01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:02.639
like God. No no, no, no, no no no, no,

744
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:08.559
no no, don't kill them.
Don't don't if you're perceiving that God

745
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:15.039
is killing them because they were critical
of you. I don't know. I

746
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:20.480
know this is the whole thing here. Gets a little nervous, and we're

747
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:24.440
going to rejoice together in the glory
and salvation of God. But you know

748
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:31.400
that those are things that are to
come. But yes, we need to

749
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:39.079
pray for the defeat of that which
seeks to corrupt the local church. I

750
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:45.840
think churches and Christians should have been
having prayer meetings about the contemporary movement and

751
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:51.480
its filth and it's moving to the
churches. No way. Okay. Now,

752
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:55.840
if you're just asking for something that
is going against Christianity to be defeated,

753
01:00:57.400 --> 01:01:00.239
okay, then then that's not I
don't feel that that's an mprecatory salm,

754
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:05.880
and precatory is asking for destruction for
defeat. In fact, let me

755
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:09.159
if I go back, I'm gonna
go back to my notes because let's okay,

756
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:22.239
I'm gonna look here at some in
precatory psalms. Okay, see here

757
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:34.599
is this a precatory psalm. Let's
see here is this classified as a precatory

758
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:36.840
song. I don't know if this
is a preparatory song. Hang on,

759
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:43.719
let me look here. Uh,
there's a lot of parts here that I

760
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:50.840
don't know if they would be Okay, Yeah, here, maybe here's a

761
01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:53.280
little bit of an imprecatory part.
This is part of Psalm sixty nine.

762
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:59.639
Let their table become a snare before
them, and they're well being a trap.

763
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:02.400
Let their eyes be darkened so that
they do not see. Make their

764
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:09.320
loins shake continually. Pour out your
indignation upon them. Let your wrathful anger

765
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:14.880
take hold of them. Let their
dwelling place be desolate. Let no one

766
01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:20.199
live in their tents, for they
persecute the ones you have struck. And

767
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:23.440
talk of the grief of those you
have wounded an iniquity to their iniquity,

768
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:28.199
let them not come into your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the

769
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:30.880
book of the Living. Okay,
Now, if you're talking about in a

770
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:37.519
precatory palm, that seems a precatory
psalm basically is I want them dead now.

771
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:40.880
So the contemporary movement comes unto the
church and you want to I mean,

772
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:45.639
if you just want it to be
defeated. But you're utilizing the imprecatory

773
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:47.960
Psalm as an example, Are you
just saying the imprecatory psalm teaches us to

774
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.800
pray against our enemies, simply seeking
their defeat, and that's it. Then

775
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:58.199
okay, I'm in agreement if you're
saying for them to die because you don't

776
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:04.239
agree with the way they do church. See, the imprecatory has a very

777
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:09.039
specific connotation to me. All right, now, you can look up,

778
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:14.119
you can probably look online a list
of imprecatory psalms, read all the imprecatory

779
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:21.519
psalms and see what you find.
But let let's finish this up. It's

780
01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:29.559
replacement of the Word of God with
psychology and philosophy instead of just as it

781
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:37.800
is to men as they are Bible
preaching. And so if you walk with

782
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:42.960
God, you read God's word is
through his word, God will show you

783
01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:47.360
the things that you should pray for
and things you should pray against. Now

784
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:52.000
notice again with me, Now see
I'm in a complete agreement. The Bible

785
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:54.960
would tell you what to pray for
and what to pray against. Now we're

786
01:03:55.199 --> 01:04:00.119
I'm all for that. I just
don't know when you say in precatory,

787
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.119
I mean his whole point was trying
to use them precatory as something we should

788
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:06.840
do on precatory is more than just
praying against your praying for the total annihilation

789
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:14.119
and destruction of people to die.
Okay, that's that. I think that

790
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:21.480
falls under a theocratic monarchy personally.
Right here in verse two, it says

791
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:32.880
for low thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted

792
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:39.039
up the head. Now they are
people that hate anything has to do with

793
01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:45.000
God. Our first Congress decreed that
Bibles should be put in every school.

794
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:53.199
Then we had a Supreme Court who
decided to vote against God and against your

795
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:57.280
first US Congress and basically your Constitution, to say, let's take the Bible

796
01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:01.480
out of the schools. And aren't
this feel so much more safe today since

797
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:06.400
you remove God and prayer and the
Bible out of that. Oh, in

798
01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:12.239
the name of bubblegum, nobody took
the Bible and prayer out of school.

799
01:05:13.519 --> 01:05:18.000
Any kid can bring their Bible to
school and read it at the appropriate time,

800
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:25.679
study hall, free time, lunch, They can pray twenty four The

801
01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:30.039
kids can pray whenever they want.
What you want is a mandatory Bible being

802
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:34.320
put there by the school. And
you see it goes against the constitution,

803
01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:39.320
has a separation, the idea of
some kind of a separation. We do

804
01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:43.920
not want a state mandated church.
We don't want that. It's a public

805
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:47.079
school. If you want a Christian
school, open one. If you want

806
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:51.679
the public school, it has to
be public, meaning open for all those

807
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:58.360
who are Christian and who aren't Christian. And if you're going to demand the

808
01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:01.559
Bible, well then why can't some
demand the Satanic Bible or the Quran.

809
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.320
The whole thing is ridiculous. You
could carry any any teenager can carry their

810
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:11.679
Bible to school. They can't just
read it in the middle of math class,

811
01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.920
but they can read it whenever they
have free time. And if they

812
01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:16.880
want to pray, they can pray
whenever they can. They can they can

813
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:19.880
they can be praying with their eyes
wide open looking at everyone. They can

814
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:23.159
be pray. They can pray for
all they can get to. They could

815
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:26.199
stop by your church. You could
have the doors open at at seven thirty

816
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:28.719
in the morning. They could stop
by on the way to school to pray.

817
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:33.679
They can pray whenever they want.
But you want someone making them leading

818
01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:40.880
them in. It drives me so
crazy, like churches will be closed for

819
01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:44.760
anything. Their youth group is an
absolute joke. It's fun, food and

820
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:49.360
activity. Well, hey have have
Bible classes for the teenagers Monday, Tuesday,

821
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:51.719
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday in the morning and the

822
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:58.079
afternoon and after school. Hey have
prayer time for the teenagers Sunday, Monday,

823
01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:00.639
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Oh
no, we don't want the church

824
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:02.199
to do it. You want the
school to do it. That's a joke.

825
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:04.119
Okay. And I don't know what
any of this has to do with

826
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:11.599
PSA eighty three, but okay,
you know, I grew up in school

827
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:17.719
and don't ever remember a shooting in
school. I don't remember teachers trying to

828
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:28.480
lead us against our parents and against
our country. But verse two says for

829
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:33.719
low thine enemies make a tumult,
and they that hate thee have lifted up

830
01:07:33.800 --> 01:07:43.400
the head. Now the tumult is
allowed uproar. Other words, you're going

831
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:46.480
to make it knowing, Oh,
this is bad. These people are praying

832
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:49.360
in the church, These people are
praying it in schools. These people are

833
01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:55.199
actually talking about Jesus in a good
way. I actually had a one of

834
01:07:55.199 --> 01:08:00.440
our teachers that in our Sunday school
who was working with some of the Spanish

835
01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:04.280
kids. I was talking about having
a witness at school, and one students

836
01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:10.039
said, we're only allowed to use
the name Jesus as a cuss word.

837
01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:15.639
We cannot say it as something good. Now was that? So? I

838
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:21.199
don't know? Students in a public
school and they just said, Hey,

839
01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:26.279
I don't know if this is true, but a teenager said it. So

840
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:29.479
I don't know if it's true,
but I'm going to say that in a

841
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:31.279
certain public school. Hey, give
me the name of the public school.

842
01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:34.279
I would love to call the public
school and say, according to this preacher,

843
01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:39.560
hey, you kids can only say
Jesus if they use it as a

844
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:42.960
cuss word. They can't say Jesus
in a positive way. Is this a

845
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.479
school policy? Can you explain when
this occurred? Can you explain? I

846
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:48.560
would love to, But we don't
have the name of the school, so

847
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:53.319
we can't verify. And he hasn't
verified it. He doesn't even know if

848
01:08:53.359 --> 01:09:00.199
it's true. He just knows some
teenagers said it. Man, you know,

849
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.520
if we want to use teenagers as
a source of truth. But okay,

850
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:10.239
I mean, you go right ahead. I question myself much more.

851
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.359
I question myself enough. I don't
know if I want to add teenagers to

852
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:19.439
my list of resources that I'm going
to trust. And I'm allowed to use

853
01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:21.760
the name of Jesus in a good
way. And I guess the other students

854
01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:29.840
that were with him agreed. So
you see here they hate THEE. They

855
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:36.039
lifted up the head. Now the
two moults the loud uproar. They want

856
01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:44.199
to turn others against them, and
so they start speak to others to turn

857
01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:50.840
nations against them. And the rest
of verse two says, they that hate

858
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:58.800
THEE, that is, they that
hate God, They that hate THEE,

859
01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:05.239
that hate God, Jehovah have lift
up the heads. This is your radio,

860
01:10:05.239 --> 01:10:10.960
pastor, pastor, there we go. I wanted to play the rest

861
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:14.720
only because I didn't want to be
accused of taking anything out of context.

862
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:17.880
The purpose of all of that was
even though and I do want to use

863
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:21.520
this as a learning example here,
I disagree with a lot of that,

864
01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:26.640
as you can hear, I've got
some issues. But even though I disagreed,

865
01:10:27.359 --> 01:10:32.119
I was confronted today by listening to
that with my classification of Psalm eighty

866
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:36.279
three as being a communal lament,
and he made it clear that it's an

867
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:41.640
imprecatory song. Now I have given
you. I went through all the different

868
01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:45.760
types of songs. I've tried to
argue a little bit for the reason why

869
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:50.119
I went with a lament psalm.
I've tried to read to you from different

870
01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:56.640
sources. I've told you, we've
looked in real time, we consulted AI,

871
01:10:56.680 --> 01:10:59.279
and AI makes an argument that if
you go with a lament song,

872
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:01.199
you will interpret it one way.
If you go with it as an imprecatory

873
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:05.239
psalm, you will interpret it another
way. Clearly, I've interpreted it more

874
01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:11.279
and long as a lament, and
now I've laid it all out. I've

875
01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:15.800
admitted that I'm wrong because so far
the majority of sources seem to say it's

876
01:11:15.800 --> 01:11:19.680
an imprecatory I'm confused by that.
But as of right now, I'm going

877
01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:24.079
to say I was wrong and we
will see. And now I hand it

878
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:27.319
to you. This is what I
love doing on this podcast is we work

879
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:30.960
on these issues together. So do
your research. Is SAW eighty three a

880
01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:36.479
communal lament or is it imprecatory.
If it's a communal lament, how would

881
01:11:36.479 --> 01:11:41.079
you interpret it. If it's an
imprecatory how would you interpret it? And

882
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:47.359
if it's an imprecatory that has all
of my teaching on PSAW eighty three up

883
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:55.000
to this point been absolutely in error. If so, then I will acknowledge

884
01:11:55.039 --> 01:11:59.600
that and correct it to the best
of my ability. Personally, I would

885
01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:01.520
have all hard time. I'm just
being honest with you, and maybe because

886
01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:05.000
I'm so far into this now that
it's hard to back up, I would

887
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:09.520
have a hard time at this point
going back oversaw mayighty three and doing it

888
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:14.560
more like an imprecatory because even when
they ask for judgment, it doesn't feel

889
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:18.239
to reach the imprecatory level. It
seems like as soon as it starts getting

890
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:21.319
close to that unprecatory level, they
seem to pull back and like, hey,

891
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:24.920
hey, hey, you know,
hey, we just want them to

892
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:30.239
again, We want them to seek
you, we want them to know you.

893
01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:34.880
All right, Well, people can't
seek you and know you if they're

894
01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:40.520
dead. So that's that's why I
went more with a lament I did,

895
01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:44.399
and I believe it starts with clearly
a lament God, where are you,

896
01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:49.439
and then outlines why they're so concerned
and why they need God's intervention. So

897
01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:55.239
I feel like it has much more
of a lament feel than an imprecatory fiel.

898
01:12:55.560 --> 01:13:00.000
But obviously most people disagree with me, and I got no problem acknowledge

899
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:01.800
that I am wrong. So I'm
going to say I'm wrong for now.

900
01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:05.880
I could change my mind and go
back, you know what I'm gonna In

901
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:09.119
fact, my original intent was just
say, look, I was wrong.

902
01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:12.039
But I want you to learn,
even in a message, even in sermons

903
01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:16.920
where you may disagree, don't ever
allow yourself just to stop listening. Always

904
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:21.399
keep listening and gain what you can, and always be willing to admit that

905
01:13:21.439 --> 01:13:26.520
you were wrong, and always be
willing to change your view when you hear.

906
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.439
And as you're a lung, we
have to remain humble and teachable,

907
01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:31.399
and we got to be able to
admit that we're wrong. I feel like

908
01:13:31.439 --> 01:13:36.039
I blew it here. I don't
know why I look, I don't know

909
01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:43.119
why I never questioned my lament hypotheses. I don't know why. But I

910
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:45.239
think I was wrong. I think
maybe this is an a precatory sum,

911
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:48.399
and I think maybe the tone of
it should be different than the way I've

912
01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:53.000
presented it. I'm willing to work
on that, but I hand it to

913
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:57.000
you. So your job is to
do see what you can find and then

914
01:13:57.079 --> 01:14:02.640
email me news. I yahud,
that's NEWSI f at yahoo dot com.

915
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:11.520
Now, the funny part is I
said when I right before I got ready

916
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:13.800
to do this broadcast, I'm like, you know, this will be about

917
01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:16.359
thirty minutes and then I could get
to the thing the other things I need

918
01:14:16.359 --> 01:14:19.720
to do that are much longer today, there's some other things we need to

919
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:27.000
talk about that are mutt that and
well this went seventy four minutes. So

920
01:14:28.479 --> 01:14:31.680
yeah, I was wrong about that
as well. Right, a day of

921
01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:36.880
being wrong. All right, Well
there we go. Hopefully, Hey,

922
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:40.960
the one thing it does, it
adds more discussion about Psalm eighty three.

923
01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:45.359
But by the time, look,
we went into summer twenty twenty three thinking

924
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:48.840
we're going to be focusing proverbs,
proverbs, proverbs, proverbs, and inevitably

925
01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:54.319
this has turned into the summer of
Psalm eighty three. You'll always remember the

926
01:14:54.359 --> 01:14:59.279
summer of twenty twenty four, not
the summer of sixty nine. Get it,

927
01:14:59.319 --> 01:15:00.760
get it, Okay, music fans
know what I'm talking about, all

928
01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:05.520
right, not the summer of sixty
nine, But the summer of twenty twenty

929
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:11.560
four became the summer of Psalm eighty
three. I don't know if it's going

930
01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:14.800
to be of any spiritual benefit to
any of us, but we definitely have

931
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:20.600
done the work on it. Thanks
for listening everyone, have a great day. God bless
