1
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:13,916
All right, and we're going to get started tonight.

2
00:01:13,966 --> 00:01:17,266
Finished up the book of Revelation last week.

3
00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:20,516
Um, man, that was a that was a good study.

4
00:01:20,566 --> 00:01:23,866
I always like doing that and I love going

5
00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:26,933
over all the things that are going on, that we know are coming, and

6
00:01:26,933 --> 00:01:28,549
we circle all the way back around now.

7
00:01:28,616 --> 00:01:31,083
We're going to go to Genesis and we're going to start with where it all started.

8
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:32,150
So we've got the ending.

9
00:01:32,216 --> 00:01:34,083
Let's go back and talk about the beginning.

10
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:38,150
And, uh, you know, I was, um, I

11
00:01:38,150 --> 00:01:41,333
was thinking about the book of Genesis, uh, today,

12
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:45,466
uh, how to describe the

13
00:01:45,466 --> 00:01:48,766
importance of it because it gets overlooked a lot because

14
00:01:48,766 --> 00:01:52,000
it is so important because at the end of the day, to be a Christian,

15
00:01:52,016 --> 00:01:55,250
there are 3 sets of beliefs you have to have.

16
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:58,366
You have to believe that there is a God, that he created the university,

17
00:01:58,366 --> 00:01:59,933
he wants a personal relationship with you.

18
00:01:59,983 --> 00:02:01,849
And that's what the book of Genesis is about.

19
00:02:01,916 --> 00:02:05,450
And then you have to believe that he had a son, Jesus Christ,

20
00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:08,683
Yeshua of Nazareth, who was born of a virgin,

21
00:02:08,683 --> 00:02:11,983
died on a cross, rose from the grave and now sits ascended,

22
00:02:11,983 --> 00:02:16,000
ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for us.

23
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:18,699
And then you have to accept him as your savior.

24
00:02:18,766 --> 00:02:22,066
So those are the 3 beliefs that if any one of those 3 things, somebody

25
00:02:22,066 --> 00:02:24,466
casts aside, you're not a Christian.

26
00:02:24,716 --> 00:02:27,716
And too often, I think

27
00:02:27,716 --> 00:02:30,883
we overlook going back to the beginning and reminding

28
00:02:30,883 --> 00:02:32,199
people, yes, God is God.

29
00:02:32,266 --> 00:02:35,633
God created the reason God gets to tell us what to do is he made all of this.

30
00:02:35,683 --> 00:02:36,216
This is his.

31
00:02:37,099 --> 00:02:40,183
Um, I mean, it's the same way as if you go out and

32
00:02:40,183 --> 00:02:43,250
build something in a sandbox and somebody tells you, well, why

33
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:46,133
do you get to decide what happens with your stuff in the, because it's mine.

34
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:50,033
I have the right to because I made it.

35
00:02:50,083 --> 00:02:50,750
Same thing.

36
00:02:50,866 --> 00:02:51,650
God looks at us.

37
00:02:51,716 --> 00:02:54,000
He gets the right to decide because he made us.

38
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,583
Um, so I don't know, uh,

39
00:02:57,583 --> 00:03:00,349
Genesis is really interesting as well because, um,

40
00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:05,266
It's amazing to me at how the modern

41
00:03:05,266 --> 00:03:08,266
Jewish faith treats the book of

42
00:03:08,266 --> 00:03:11,333
Genesis, because they are real serious about the stuff that

43
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:15,300
happens starting on about, when

44
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:19,366
you get past Adam and Eve and you get into Noah and all of that, they get real serious about that stuff.

45
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:22,616
But they treat the entire 1st part of the book,

46
00:03:22,616 --> 00:03:25,616
and I've actually heard Jewish scholars say, well, you know, we don't believe that's a

47
00:03:25,616 --> 00:03:27,050
literal account of how God made things.

48
00:03:27,116 --> 00:03:29,583
It's just a story showing that God made it all.

49
00:03:29,949 --> 00:03:33,233
And I'm like, how in the world do God's

50
00:03:33,233 --> 00:03:37,250
chosen people get that far removed from the truth?

51
00:03:37,316 --> 00:03:40,916
I mean, they're having to over intellectualize

52
00:03:40,916 --> 00:03:43,916
things and reject what is clearly not just a

53
00:03:43,916 --> 00:03:45,650
creation myth.

54
00:03:45,716 --> 00:03:48,716
It's not just a story that's meant to be

55
00:03:48,716 --> 00:03:50,099
some kind of a morality tale.

56
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:52,366
It is, this is what happened.

57
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:53,816
This is how it happened.

58
00:03:53,866 --> 00:03:56,866
And I mean, don't get me wrong, it doesn't explain all of the

59
00:03:56,866 --> 00:03:59,866
detailed mechanics of what God did to make the

60
00:03:59,866 --> 00:04:02,866
atoms start moving and make time work and

61
00:04:02,866 --> 00:04:04,666
how physics came into existence.

62
00:04:04,733 --> 00:04:07,066
I mean, but it tells how it tells what he did.

63
00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:08,816
And he said, let there be, and there was.

64
00:04:08,866 --> 00:04:11,033
And I mean, that's how it all works out.

65
00:04:11,849 --> 00:04:14,933
And it is amazing to me that they boil it

66
00:04:14,933 --> 00:04:17,983
down to something so simple as to just say, oh yeah, it's just a,

67
00:04:17,983 --> 00:04:19,300
it's just telling us that God made it all.

68
00:04:19,366 --> 00:04:22,133
And I'm like, man, that's so sad to me.

69
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,550
Um, and then you have the the other group of people that study

70
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:28,966
Genesis a lot, and that's the, uh, the modern, um, folks

71
00:04:28,966 --> 00:04:32,083
like Kent Hoven and uh, Answers in Genesis and

72
00:04:32,083 --> 00:04:34,000
that group, the Creation Science Evangelism.

73
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:37,066
And I want to point out real quick that

74
00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:40,300
if you hear us making any references to them, creation science evangelism

75
00:04:40,316 --> 00:04:43,016
is not the same as the Christian science movement.

76
00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:47,449
These are these are 2 very, very different groups.

77
00:04:47,516 --> 00:04:53,033
Christian Science is a group of people that basically believe in magic and call it science.

78
00:04:53,449 --> 00:04:55,916
Hell, Ron Hubbard stuff, right?

79
00:04:55,966 --> 00:04:57,233
Uh, yeah.

80
00:04:57,283 --> 00:04:59,266
Move your mic a little bit closer there.

81
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:00,000
Yeah.

82
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:03,116
Yeah, they're almost L. Ron Hubbard level stuff.

83
00:05:03,166 --> 00:05:06,583
They, um, a lot of the modern Christian beliefs about,

84
00:05:06,583 --> 00:05:09,816
um, like speaking things into existence

85
00:05:09,833 --> 00:05:13,133
and all that, that comes from Christian science, the Christian science crowd.

86
00:05:13,183 --> 00:05:16,250
And I'm not going to say that they're not saved or that they're not Christians,

87
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,933
but I'm going to say their doctrine is definitely wrong.

88
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,066
I'll say that, that their teachings are

89
00:05:22,066 --> 00:05:24,050
very wrong and they're very far out in left field.

90
00:05:24,116 --> 00:05:27,116
So when we're referencing that, I've had people in the

91
00:05:27,116 --> 00:05:30,283
past get confused when I mention anything about

92
00:05:30,283 --> 00:05:33,350
creation science, evangelism, that creation science and

93
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:35,033
Christian science sounds so similar.

94
00:05:35,083 --> 00:05:35,800
they think it's the same.

95
00:05:35,866 --> 00:05:37,183
Not the same, not the same.

96
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:41,149
You're talking about the belief in a young earth and the belief that God

97
00:05:41,149 --> 00:05:44,449
created it less than a 1000000 years ago.

98
00:05:44,516 --> 00:05:46,983
You understand there's a lot of evidence for it.

99
00:05:47,033 --> 00:05:48,283
And there is.

100
00:05:48,283 --> 00:05:49,416
There's tons of evidence.

101
00:05:49,483 --> 00:05:54,166
Some of it's absolutely overwhelming and people won't believe it because they start with a presupposition that there is no god.

102
00:05:54,233 --> 00:05:54,766
Exactly.

103
00:05:54,766 --> 00:05:55,133
Exactly.

104
00:05:55,183 --> 00:05:57,283
That's basically what it comes down to.

105
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:59,033
Do you believe there's a god or not?

106
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:00,166
And that's which side you fall on.

107
00:06:00,233 --> 00:06:01,316
for the most part.

108
00:06:01,366 --> 00:06:01,733
People try to

109
00:06:01,783 --> 00:06:04,783
try to merge the 2 somehow, but we're

110
00:06:04,783 --> 00:06:07,000
going to see as we go through this that there's no way to do that.

111
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:08,750
It doesn't really merge well.

112
00:06:08,816 --> 00:06:11,816
I mean, once you get down to, and now I will say this.

113
00:06:11,866 --> 00:06:15,050
My stance, if people really start getting hefty about the

114
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:18,050
timelines and how long things took and when things

115
00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:21,116
happen, I'm like, look, all I know for sure is

116
00:06:21,116 --> 00:06:24,116
it was less than 10,000 years ago, and that's all I can tell you because there's

117
00:06:24,116 --> 00:06:27,466
ample, even modern science agrees that modern

118
00:06:27,466 --> 00:06:29,199
man has existed less than 10,000 years.

119
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:31,300
And we have the birth of them right here.

120
00:06:31,366 --> 00:06:32,800
So, okay, great.

121
00:06:32,866 --> 00:06:36,050
I can say that with certainty and with absolute candor.

122
00:06:36,116 --> 00:06:39,416
You want me to narrow it down and say, oh, it was 6000 years ago.

123
00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:41,149
I'm not going to get on board with that.

124
00:06:41,216 --> 00:06:44,149
I'm not going to get that close to the timeline because I've done the thing.

125
00:06:44,216 --> 00:06:47,449
The only reason I want is I've gone through and added up.

126
00:06:47,516 --> 00:06:51,416
I've added up the dates and comes out closer to 5000 years.

127
00:06:51,466 --> 00:06:54,350
Well, something interesting that you were talking about the Jewish people.

128
00:06:54,416 --> 00:06:57,466
They have their own calendar and their year is like, I don't

129
00:06:57,466 --> 00:07:00,283
know, they're in year 5,700, 5,800, something like that.

130
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:02,083
Yeah, yeah, no, that's true too.

131
00:07:02,149 --> 00:07:02,449
Yeah.

132
00:07:02,516 --> 00:07:03,783
So it's getting real close.

133
00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:04,316
It's right.

134
00:07:04,366 --> 00:07:04,600
It is.

135
00:07:04,666 --> 00:07:05,449
Yeah, that's right.

136
00:07:05,449 --> 00:07:06,466
It's right at the 6,000.

137
00:07:06,716 --> 00:07:10,133
Because you're looking at 2000 from uh,

138
00:07:10,133 --> 00:07:13,133
close to 2000 from Genesis to the flood

139
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:16,199
and then uh, 2000 from

140
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:19,300
the flood to uh, Christ and

141
00:07:19,316 --> 00:07:22,683
then 2000 from Christ until now, you know?

142
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:23,699
So, yeah, so yeah.

143
00:07:23,866 --> 00:07:25,250
It fits with the days of creation.

144
00:07:25,316 --> 00:07:25,850
It does.

145
00:07:25,916 --> 00:07:26,449
Yeah.

146
00:07:26,516 --> 00:07:27,300
It really is.

147
00:07:27,416 --> 00:07:29,699
It really is, that timeline's pretty, pretty neat.

148
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:33,166
Yeah, and that's not a bad way, bad way to look at it.

149
00:07:33,233 --> 00:07:36,416
And but like I say, that's one of those things that if people are going to get too up on that, I'm

150
00:07:36,416 --> 00:07:39,416
like, eh, okay, look, I'm not going to go there with you, but I

151
00:07:39,416 --> 00:07:42,483
will say that if you're going to say it's 1000000s of years or 1000000000s of years.

152
00:07:42,533 --> 00:07:43,199
No, sorry.

153
00:07:43,250 --> 00:07:46,850
There's there's plenty of, I mean, even...

154
00:07:46,916 --> 00:07:47,283
Yeah.

155
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:50,333
Well, what's amazing is if you look at even even the

156
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:53,816
theory of evolution, the theory of the Big Bang theory says

157
00:07:53,816 --> 00:07:57,416
that in order for it to be true, 1000000000s

158
00:07:57,416 --> 00:08:02,283
of years had to pass in spans of less than a second at the current flow of time.

159
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:05,683
And it's like, so you think that magic

160
00:08:05,683 --> 00:08:08,866
made 1000000000s of years pass in seconds

161
00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:12,699
versus God saying, let there be, and it just was?

162
00:08:12,766 --> 00:08:14,983
And here's the here's the thing too.

163
00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:18,350
God made it all where it would sustain itself.

164
00:08:18,416 --> 00:08:22,199
Whatever that looked like or whatever that age that was.

165
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:24,050
Yeah, but it had to sustain itself.

166
00:08:24,116 --> 00:08:27,116
He didn't make Adam a baby and just throw

167
00:08:27,116 --> 00:08:29,033
him out there so that he could try to survive.

168
00:08:29,083 --> 00:08:31,300
He wouldn't have lasted very long that way, would he?

169
00:08:31,366 --> 00:08:34,549
No, he didn't make the trees, little saplings,

170
00:08:34,549 --> 00:08:38,450
you know, he made everything just the way it needed to be.

171
00:08:38,516 --> 00:08:38,750
Yeah.

172
00:08:38,816 --> 00:08:39,833
started from there.

173
00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:40,966
Yeah.

174
00:08:40,966 --> 00:08:43,966
And we could get into a whole lot

175
00:08:43,966 --> 00:08:46,299
of other stuff when we start, but we'll get there.

176
00:08:46,366 --> 00:08:47,083
Yeah, yeah.

177
00:08:47,149 --> 00:08:50,383
Yeah, but I just wanted to point some of those things out at the start because I know some

178
00:08:50,383 --> 00:08:54,166
people will be listening and when we get to it and they're going to be like, wow, what about,

179
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:57,766
look, it's the important thing is what the scripture says for

180
00:08:57,766 --> 00:09:00,049
us as Christians because we believe what the scripture says.

181
00:09:00,116 --> 00:09:03,183
And there's no point in trying to warp things to

182
00:09:03,183 --> 00:09:06,950
fit some specific idea that you have because it just tells us the truth right here.

183
00:09:07,016 --> 00:09:09,350
Yeah, verse one may be the most powerful.

184
00:09:09,416 --> 00:09:11,883
One of the most powerful verses in the entire Bible.

185
00:09:11,983 --> 00:09:12,700
Oh, no kid.

186
00:09:12,716 --> 00:09:13,383
Just verse one.

187
00:09:13,433 --> 00:09:14,033
That's right.

188
00:09:14,033 --> 00:09:15,299
I want to read this.

189
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:18,466
In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth.

190
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:21,116
Number one, it presupposes that there is a God.

191
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:22,483
It assumes that there is a God.

192
00:09:22,549 --> 00:09:25,549
And the next thing, he created time,

193
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:27,350
the beginning, right?

194
00:09:27,416 --> 00:09:30,183
It created space, which is the heavens.

195
00:09:30,233 --> 00:09:33,466
He created matter, which Amen.

196
00:09:33,533 --> 00:09:37,316
based time and matter all created in that 1st sentence by God himself.

197
00:09:37,366 --> 00:09:38,333
Yeah, yeah.

198
00:09:38,383 --> 00:09:41,866
And we need to we need to understand that when he says this, you

199
00:09:41,866 --> 00:09:44,933
know, he created us a place to dwell, and, of course, a place

200
00:09:44,933 --> 00:09:47,933
called Earth, and heaven here is not

201
00:09:47,933 --> 00:09:49,250
the place where God dwells.

202
00:09:49,316 --> 00:09:52,250
It's a place where we look up from earth and we see.

203
00:09:52,316 --> 00:09:53,149
That's what he said.

204
00:09:53,216 --> 00:09:55,983
When he said it, the heavens were already made.

205
00:09:56,083 --> 00:09:57,516
His place that he dwelled.

206
00:09:57,583 --> 00:10:01,483
But he said, God made heaven and earth.

207
00:10:01,549 --> 00:10:04,616
So we're looking at the atmosphere that

208
00:10:04,616 --> 00:10:05,816
we say around us, right?

209
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:07,133
Yeah, maybe even the universe.

210
00:10:07,183 --> 00:10:08,383
The universe, yeah, yeah.

211
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:10,316
Yeah, the space.

212
00:10:10,366 --> 00:10:10,549
Yeah.

213
00:10:10,616 --> 00:10:10,916
Yeah.

214
00:10:10,966 --> 00:10:14,149
Now, the interesting thing, too, is if you look at modern, uh,

215
00:10:14,149 --> 00:10:17,266
the more modern translations than the King James there, it does use the phrase

216
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:20,633
heavens rather than heaven, because they want to make sure,

217
00:10:20,633 --> 00:10:24,000
uh, and partly because people got confused about it.

218
00:10:24,049 --> 00:10:27,233
So modern translators just added that S, to be very clear, we're

219
00:10:27,233 --> 00:10:30,649
not talking about heaven where God dwells, that already existed.

220
00:10:30,716 --> 00:10:33,533
We are talking about the heavens that are between us and there.

221
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:36,700
Plus, keep in mind that to ancient people,

222
00:10:36,716 --> 00:10:38,633
they didn't know much about stars.

223
00:10:38,683 --> 00:10:42,049
They were just hanging up in the sky, right?

224
00:10:42,116 --> 00:10:44,933
That heaven was just that was all the same thing.

225
00:10:44,983 --> 00:10:45,883
That was it.

226
00:10:45,950 --> 00:10:46,183
Yeah.

227
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:46,916
Yeah.

228
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,166
That's right

229
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:54,116
And there's some other theories, too, that I,

230
00:10:54,116 --> 00:10:57,233
we'll talk about for just a minute, but, you know, some,

231
00:10:57,233 --> 00:11:00,649
some well-respected biblical

232
00:11:00,649 --> 00:11:04,433
scholars, and I don't wind up with this, but some well-respected

233
00:11:04,433 --> 00:11:07,433
biblical scholars believe that, uh,

234
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:10,783
that there was, there was, uh, a creation

235
00:11:10,783 --> 00:11:13,783
here that could have got destroyed, like when the,

236
00:11:13,783 --> 00:11:16,783
when the angels fell from

237
00:11:16,783 --> 00:11:18,100
heaven and it all got destroyed.

238
00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:22,133
And that's why it was without form of void that we were reading in verse 2 here in just a second.

239
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:24,883
But...

240
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:27,950
I mean, this is one of those literal verses that we have to look

241
00:11:27,950 --> 00:11:30,583
at and we have to read, and it says in the beginning.

242
00:11:30,649 --> 00:11:32,750
There was a start, right?

243
00:11:32,816 --> 00:11:33,783
There was a starting place.

244
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:35,516
God created.

245
00:11:35,566 --> 00:11:36,583
He created it.

246
00:11:36,649 --> 00:11:38,566
It doesn't say he fixed it.

247
00:11:38,633 --> 00:11:41,216
It doesn't say he recreated it.

248
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:44,866
It says he created the heaven and the earth, right?

249
00:11:44,933 --> 00:11:47,333
So he created what was there.

250
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:49,783
And then when we look into verse two.

251
00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:53,083
We see it was without form or void, and darkness

252
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:56,200
was on the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water.

253
00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:59,266
So he created it, and then it

254
00:11:59,266 --> 00:12:01,000
was void, and then he started working on that.

255
00:12:01,066 --> 00:12:02,266
Exactly.

256
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:04,966
And the thing I want to throw out real quick too.

257
00:12:05,033 --> 00:12:08,216
In order to say that this wasn't the beginning,

258
00:12:08,216 --> 00:12:11,383
you have to be willing to say that you believe God

259
00:12:11,383 --> 00:12:14,500
is a liar because there was no people around to witness

260
00:12:14,516 --> 00:12:17,149
these 1st parts, which means God had to tell them what happened.

261
00:12:17,266 --> 00:12:18,049
Yeah.

262
00:12:18,116 --> 00:12:21,166
So your colleague, you have to be calling God a liar if you say that

263
00:12:21,166 --> 00:12:22,299
that's not the actual beginning.

264
00:12:24,149 --> 00:12:27,166
I'm going to go out on a limb and say, no, he told them in

265
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:28,183
the beginning, I did this.

266
00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:29,216
Yeah.

267
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:29,983
Yeah.

268
00:12:30,049 --> 00:12:31,733
He spoke to Moses and give him this.

269
00:12:31,783 --> 00:12:34,966
You know, this is this is considered the 1st book of Moses.

270
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:38,633
And we have we have evidence that God did this, right?

271
00:12:38,683 --> 00:12:40,783
I mean, we see Psalm 19 one.

272
00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:44,683
The heavens are telling of the glory of God and their expanses declaring the work of his hands.

273
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:48,283
You got Romans chapter one where he says, we don't have excuse.

274
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:48,950
Just look around.

275
00:12:49,016 --> 00:12:49,549
right.

276
00:12:49,616 --> 00:12:50,283
Yeah, absolutely.

277
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:53,516
And John one and Colossians one

278
00:12:53,516 --> 00:12:55,916
both tell us that all of God is present in this thing.

279
00:12:55,966 --> 00:12:57,700
The word became flesh too.

280
00:12:57,766 --> 00:13:00,166
But the word was in the beginning.

281
00:13:00,233 --> 00:13:01,200
Yeah, yeah.

282
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:04,916
And Colossians one tells it all things were created by him and threw him for him.

283
00:13:04,916 --> 00:13:05,450
Amen.

284
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:06,233
Jesus Christ.

285
00:13:06,233 --> 00:13:06,899
Amen.

286
00:13:06,899 --> 00:13:07,783
Who was there.

287
00:13:07,850 --> 00:13:11,083
we'll see we'll see some plural language later in the chapter, but...

288
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:11,683
Oh, we do.

289
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:12,233
We do.

290
00:13:12,283 --> 00:13:14,500
That's exciting and really exciting.

291
00:13:15,049 --> 00:13:18,233
I mean, he took what was nothing and made something.

292
00:13:18,283 --> 00:13:19,066
right?

293
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:22,183
That's that's a good thing about new

294
00:13:22,183 --> 00:13:23,799
beginnings when it comes to God.

295
00:13:23,866 --> 00:13:27,533
You may be you may be in a place where you

296
00:13:27,533 --> 00:13:29,100
feel like nothing, right?

297
00:13:29,149 --> 00:13:32,566
You may feel like you'll never be anything and

298
00:13:32,566 --> 00:13:35,566
that you can't get past the place or the

299
00:13:35,566 --> 00:13:36,950
spot that you're in.

300
00:13:37,649 --> 00:13:39,466
But I'm going to give you some good news.

301
00:13:39,533 --> 00:13:42,350
God can take nothing and make something out of it.

302
00:13:42,416 --> 00:13:44,750
So no matter where you are in your life right now.

303
00:13:44,816 --> 00:13:47,100
God is ready to do something great with it.

304
00:13:47,149 --> 00:13:47,816
Amen.

305
00:13:47,816 --> 00:13:48,649
If you'll give it to me.

306
00:13:48,716 --> 00:13:50,750
Take the worst of situations and bring something beautiful.

307
00:13:50,816 --> 00:13:52,316
Yes, in his hands, isn't it?

308
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:52,783
Wonderful.

309
00:13:52,850 --> 00:13:53,083
Yeah.

310
00:13:53,149 --> 00:13:54,350
It's awesome.

311
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:55,299
Awesome.

312
00:13:55,366 --> 00:13:59,450
But so what we see here is that and

313
00:13:59,450 --> 00:14:02,683
this is where a lot of people try to interject like this old timeline or

314
00:14:02,683 --> 00:14:05,866
something where the earth was being formless and void, we don't really have a

315
00:14:05,866 --> 00:14:08,450
day listed in 1st two, 1st two verses, right?

316
00:14:08,516 --> 00:14:08,883
Right.

317
00:14:08,883 --> 00:14:09,233
Right.

318
00:14:09,283 --> 00:14:12,350
Where people will say, well, it existed for 1000000s and

319
00:14:12,350 --> 00:14:13,666
1000000s and 1000000s of years.

320
00:14:13,733 --> 00:14:17,216
And I've heard one guy, actually one pastor I had.

321
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:20,566
So, well, why would God create this to look old?

322
00:14:20,633 --> 00:14:21,416
That seems like a lie.

323
00:14:21,466 --> 00:14:22,549
Yeah, yeah.

324
00:14:22,616 --> 00:14:23,933
Well, no.

325
00:14:23,983 --> 00:14:24,583
No.

326
00:14:24,583 --> 00:14:25,299
No.

327
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:27,833
It's it's hard.

328
00:14:27,883 --> 00:14:31,066
It's hard for people to blend science with

329
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:32,566
creation story.

330
00:14:32,633 --> 00:14:33,166
It really is.

331
00:14:33,233 --> 00:14:35,383
And that's how you get Christian science.

332
00:14:35,383 --> 00:14:36,399
More intelligence.

333
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:39,583
evolution sounds more intelligent.

334
00:14:39,649 --> 00:14:40,666
Yeah, yeah.

335
00:14:40,733 --> 00:14:44,100
But what has always convinced me of in

336
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,916
that whole argument, I guess it's called a cosmological argument, but either

337
00:14:47,933 --> 00:14:51,049
either there's a God that created something from

338
00:14:51,049 --> 00:14:53,516
nothing or something else created something from nothing.

339
00:14:53,566 --> 00:14:54,233
Yeah.

340
00:14:54,233 --> 00:14:56,333
Nothing created something from nothing.

341
00:14:56,383 --> 00:14:57,466
Yeah, yes.

342
00:14:57,533 --> 00:14:59,633
It's logical and possibility.

343
00:14:59,683 --> 00:15:00,166
That's right

344
00:15:00,350 --> 00:15:01,066
Right.

345
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:04,250
So it seems it seems these

346
00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:07,016
evolution people just keep taking that thing back further.

347
00:15:07,183 --> 00:15:10,966
They say, well, there was, I think they may have basically given up on the Big Bang, but now.

348
00:15:11,033 --> 00:15:11,450
I don't know.

349
00:15:11,516 --> 00:15:14,816
But but they still take they'll take it back to this this unity

350
00:15:14,816 --> 00:15:18,649
point where all the mass of the universe was in this infinity

351
00:15:18,649 --> 00:15:21,833
small speck of something that came from who

352
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:24,883
knows where that came from another universe that was destroyed

353
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:27,399
and shrank in on itself and they just they just push it further back.

354
00:15:27,466 --> 00:15:28,299
Oh, yeah, yeah.

355
00:15:28,366 --> 00:15:30,833
Well, at that point, it becomes turtles all the way down, right?

356
00:15:30,883 --> 00:15:34,366
You know, it's just, it's just, you know, it's like the,

357
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:37,549
in case you're wondering, that's a reference to the old, uh, I think it was Hindu belief

358
00:15:37,549 --> 00:15:40,616
that, you know, the world is a, is a sphere being held up by

359
00:15:40,616 --> 00:15:43,616
elephants standing on the back of a turtle, which is on a turtle, which is on a turtle,

360
00:15:43,616 --> 00:15:44,816
which is on an even bigger turtle.

361
00:15:44,866 --> 00:15:47,033
turtles all the way down, and that's where that saying comes from.

362
00:15:47,083 --> 00:15:50,200
You would have to believe that it's existence all the way down with

363
00:15:50,216 --> 00:15:52,433
no beginning and yet there had to be a beginning at some point.

364
00:15:52,483 --> 00:15:53,383
Yeah.

365
00:15:53,850 --> 00:15:57,116
Now, the one thing where we as Christians believe that

366
00:15:57,116 --> 00:15:58,200
there is no beginning is God.

367
00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:59,333
Is God, yeah.

368
00:15:59,383 --> 00:16:01,183
Yeah, he has no beginning, no end.

369
00:16:01,733 --> 00:16:04,783
Psalms 33, verse 6 says, by the

370
00:16:04,783 --> 00:16:07,783
word of the Lord, were the heavens made, and all the host of them

371
00:16:07,783 --> 00:16:09,100
by the breath of his mouth.

372
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:12,833
So, I mean, just he spoke it into existence.

373
00:16:12,883 --> 00:16:14,866
Spoke it into...

374
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:15,899
Look around, man.

375
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:17,683
Looking around at some of the stuff he created.

376
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:19,733
It's like, wow.

377
00:16:19,783 --> 00:16:22,483
I mean, you look at any kind of scientific anything.

378
00:16:22,549 --> 00:16:25,549
I mean, whether it's, whether it's, you know, how many galaxies they

379
00:16:25,549 --> 00:16:28,966
see in the James Webb space telescope now, there's

380
00:16:28,966 --> 00:16:32,149
just 1000000000s of these galaxies that are formed by 1000000000s

381
00:16:32,149 --> 00:16:35,566
of stars, which probably have 1000000000s of planets around.

382
00:16:35,633 --> 00:16:36,299
Yeah, yeah.

383
00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:37,733
This thing is huge.

384
00:16:37,783 --> 00:16:38,866
It's huge.

385
00:16:38,933 --> 00:16:42,416
And these scientists look at this stuff and go, oh, wow, this must be evolution.

386
00:16:42,466 --> 00:16:43,433
Really?

387
00:16:43,483 --> 00:16:43,899
Yeah.

388
00:16:43,966 --> 00:16:47,083
Somebody didn't create the, the, the precision

389
00:16:47,083 --> 00:16:50,200
that's going on with the planets running around each other and

390
00:16:50,216 --> 00:16:51,299
spinning and...

391
00:16:51,299 --> 00:16:55,000
And really the planets themselves are,

392
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,183
they're monescule compared to who we are.

393
00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:58,966
Yeah.

394
00:16:59,299 --> 00:17:02,333
I mean, you know, they're just floating masses of

395
00:17:02,333 --> 00:17:04,433
land out there of matter.

396
00:17:04,483 --> 00:17:05,450
And look.

397
00:17:05,516 --> 00:17:08,633
I mean, we're intelligent beings

398
00:17:08,633 --> 00:17:11,700
who are able to think not only to

399
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:15,349
think, but to make decisions

400
00:17:15,349 --> 00:17:19,250
and to have feelings and to

401
00:17:19,250 --> 00:17:22,366
experience things like love, you know, all the

402
00:17:22,366 --> 00:17:25,483
emotions, anger, uh, you know,

403
00:17:25,483 --> 00:17:28,483
resentment, jealousy, all these different things,

404
00:17:28,483 --> 00:17:30,400
you know, some of them are good, some of them are bad.

405
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:33,533
But we've got all these, all these emotions that are going

406
00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:36,833
on in us and you think that just, it just happened.

407
00:17:36,883 --> 00:17:38,200
I mean, come on.

408
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:41,383
I mean, even if you, even if you believe that,

409
00:17:41,383 --> 00:17:44,683
uh, that something evolved

410
00:17:44,683 --> 00:17:48,166
from whatever that had a beginning here, there,

411
00:17:48,166 --> 00:17:52,349
whatever, you can't say that

412
00:17:52,349 --> 00:17:56,083
it also formed emotions, it also learned how to love.

413
00:17:56,083 --> 00:17:59,200
And then it also learned how to create because we're able to

414
00:17:59,216 --> 00:18:00,783
create, right?

415
00:18:00,833 --> 00:18:04,066
I mean, I mean, we're able to to create children.

416
00:18:04,133 --> 00:18:05,450
We're able to reproduce.

417
00:18:05,516 --> 00:18:09,049
We're able to build things that our minds

418
00:18:09,049 --> 00:18:10,133
are just, it's amazing.

419
00:18:10,183 --> 00:18:11,083
It is amazing.

420
00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:12,950
And, you know, I was sitting in the doctor's office.

421
00:18:13,016 --> 00:18:15,183
Yes, it was yesterday for, oh, my boy.

422
00:18:15,233 --> 00:18:17,633
a screening for a colonoscopy, all things.

423
00:18:17,683 --> 00:18:21,049
Listen, you just let me stop you for just a second,

424
00:18:21,049 --> 00:18:22,316
because you really messed me up.

425
00:18:22,366 --> 00:18:24,700
You told me about that colonoscopy the other day.

426
00:18:24,766 --> 00:18:28,966
I had to go today this morning for my

427
00:18:28,966 --> 00:18:32,266
to my gastroentodologist for

428
00:18:32,266 --> 00:18:35,333
a just a follow-up appointment when I had the stomach bleeds

429
00:18:35,333 --> 00:18:38,400
from last year, you know, and she done a she

430
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,583
done a scope, an upper scope on me, endoscopy,

431
00:18:42,583 --> 00:18:44,083
but then she asked me today.

432
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:46,549
She's like, when's the last time you had a colonoscopy?

433
00:18:46,616 --> 00:18:47,099
Oh boy.

434
00:18:49,349 --> 00:18:53,266
I just kind of look at the code and I look at her and the code's like, mm-hmm.

435
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:56,450
I said, um, well, you done a,

436
00:18:56,450 --> 00:18:59,566
you done a scope on me a few months ago and she goes, no, no,

437
00:18:59,566 --> 00:19:02,549
I'm talking about other side, other side, but I'm not.

438
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:05,983
I don't know, you know?

439
00:19:06,049 --> 00:19:08,266
She goes, did you have any polls or anything?

440
00:19:08,333 --> 00:19:11,816
I said, I think so, but yeah, we

441
00:19:11,816 --> 00:19:13,083
need to get you scheduled for that.

442
00:19:13,133 --> 00:19:15,833
I'll talk to your heart doctor today, make sure everything I can line everything else.

443
00:19:15,883 --> 00:19:16,599
Thanks, Dennis.

444
00:19:16,666 --> 00:19:19,966
I mean, you just really just saved your life, man.

445
00:19:20,083 --> 00:19:20,799
Yeah, you do.

446
00:19:20,866 --> 00:19:21,349
You do.

447
00:19:23,216 --> 00:19:25,200
Oh, yeah, I hate it.

448
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:28,733
I'm 5 years overdue, but yeah, I was sitting in her office and,

449
00:19:28,733 --> 00:19:32,866
you know, it's just got, the doctors have these these things on the wall, you know, showing your guts and stuff.

450
00:19:32,933 --> 00:19:35,983
And I'm sitting there just waiting on the doctor to come in looking at

451
00:19:35,983 --> 00:19:38,316
all this stuff that's in the middle of us.

452
00:19:39,283 --> 00:19:41,683
And thinking, God designed this stuff.

453
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:46,066
the food goes down our throats into the stomach and

454
00:19:46,066 --> 00:19:47,566
goes small and tested.

455
00:19:47,566 --> 00:19:49,066
I mean, this stuff is just intricate.

456
00:19:49,183 --> 00:19:49,666
Yeah.

457
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:55,133
All the stuff that works together to do this stuff to process one poo-poo.

458
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:55,916
Right?

459
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,150
How much food that has come together?

460
00:19:59,216 --> 00:20:02,333
How much failure would there have had to have been in the evolution

461
00:20:02,333 --> 00:20:06,650
process to get from where

462
00:20:06,650 --> 00:20:09,766
it actually food processed and

463
00:20:09,766 --> 00:20:13,000
blood reproduced and

464
00:20:13,016 --> 00:20:16,616
the way our skin heals when we have a cut.

465
00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:19,966
I mean, that's if you if you just go down

466
00:20:19,966 --> 00:20:23,383
to single celled organisms just that low.

467
00:20:23,450 --> 00:20:24,049
Yeah.

468
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:25,000
All right?

469
00:20:25,066 --> 00:20:28,299
simplest possible form of a living being

470
00:20:28,316 --> 00:20:29,700
that can exist.

471
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:32,750
Not a thinking being, not a being with

472
00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:34,849
a soul, a single cell organism.

473
00:20:36,450 --> 00:20:38,516
They couldn't, they never could have arisen.

474
00:20:38,566 --> 00:20:41,633
They would have had to spontaneously exist

475
00:20:41,633 --> 00:20:44,633
with all of the exact right things to be able

476
00:20:44,633 --> 00:20:49,549
to absorb nutrients and to be able to split and to be able to grow and to be able.

477
00:20:49,616 --> 00:20:52,783
I mean, it's just like the chances of that happening

478
00:20:52,783 --> 00:20:54,583
are so infinitesimally small.

479
00:20:54,650 --> 00:20:58,133
It was lightning created by nobody that

480
00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:01,016
hit some primordial sludge that was created by nobody.

481
00:21:01,066 --> 00:21:01,783
Yeah.

482
00:21:01,783 --> 00:21:02,083
Yeah.

483
00:21:02,150 --> 00:21:03,650
and created life.

484
00:21:04,783 --> 00:21:05,016
Yeah.

485
00:21:05,083 --> 00:21:07,000
And I mean...

486
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:07,849
Yeah, I mean.

487
00:21:07,916 --> 00:21:10,916
I mean, it makes no, it takes more

488
00:21:10,916 --> 00:21:13,383
faith to believe that than it does that there's a creator.

489
00:21:13,433 --> 00:21:16,849
And the really hard thing to understand for me is

490
00:21:16,849 --> 00:21:19,849
that somebody, so, and there are people around here, and I know

491
00:21:19,849 --> 00:21:23,450
somebody in particular that believes, well, I believe the science.

492
00:21:23,516 --> 00:21:24,950
Well, how much of the science have you done?

493
00:21:25,016 --> 00:21:26,283
Right?

494
00:21:26,333 --> 00:21:27,599
How much do you really know about?

495
00:21:27,650 --> 00:21:29,450
Are you believing what somebody else said about the science?

496
00:21:29,566 --> 00:21:30,400
Absolutely.

497
00:21:30,466 --> 00:21:33,400
Nine times out of 10, they're believing something that somebody told them.

498
00:21:33,466 --> 00:21:37,849
And they've never they've never actually read a science, even textbook, even when they were in school.

499
00:21:37,916 --> 00:21:41,099
Because even if you take 5 minutes to read even

500
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:44,316
5th grade level science, you realize, this doesn't add up.

501
00:21:45,466 --> 00:21:48,466
And I mean, and and as you get into higher, higher levels

502
00:21:48,466 --> 00:21:51,466
of science and and you start studying deeper stuff and you start getting to college

503
00:21:51,466 --> 00:21:54,466
level and things like that, it's like, yeah,

504
00:21:54,466 --> 00:21:55,666
those theories make even less sense.

505
00:21:55,733 --> 00:21:57,950
Like they start falling apart.

506
00:21:58,016 --> 00:22:02,099
But they keep going deeper and deeper and deeper with them where everybody just gets bamboozled by them.

507
00:22:02,150 --> 00:22:02,566
Oh, absolutely.

508
00:22:02,633 --> 00:22:03,766
Oh, well, absolutely.

509
00:22:03,766 --> 00:22:04,900
Yeah, that's got to be complicated.

510
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:06,349
But here's the thing.

511
00:22:06,416 --> 00:22:07,250
Here's the thing.

512
00:22:07,316 --> 00:22:10,500
The Bible has proved science wrong time and time again.

513
00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:13,549
Science has never proved the Bible wrong.

514
00:22:13,616 --> 00:22:15,900
It's always proved it right every time.

515
00:22:15,950 --> 00:22:17,266
Dog created something.

516
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:17,700
He did.

517
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:18,349
Yeah, yeah.

518
00:22:18,416 --> 00:22:19,549
That's how it's done.

519
00:22:19,616 --> 00:22:20,033
Absolutely.

520
00:22:20,083 --> 00:22:20,500
Absolutely.

521
00:22:20,566 --> 00:22:24,283
You know, I've always told people that the Bible tells us the why.

522
00:22:24,349 --> 00:22:27,466
The study of science is the trying

523
00:22:27,466 --> 00:22:28,666
to figure out the how.

524
00:22:28,733 --> 00:22:31,799
But you should never try to take the

525
00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:35,616
figuring out how and replace something that tells you why.

526
00:22:35,683 --> 00:22:37,849
Because Hal will never tell you why.

527
00:22:37,916 --> 00:22:40,433
It just tells you the mechanism by which things work.

528
00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:43,549
It doesn't tell you why they work that, why it works or why it was done.

529
00:22:43,616 --> 00:22:44,883
why it was set up.

530
00:22:44,933 --> 00:22:48,000
before people had been educated into stupidity.

531
00:22:48,049 --> 00:22:51,116
People had some common sense about them and

532
00:22:51,116 --> 00:22:54,183
we're trying to prove things about God through science.

533
00:22:54,233 --> 00:22:54,900
Exactly.

534
00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:58,066
I mean, Isaac Newton, genius of a man.

535
00:22:58,133 --> 00:22:59,033
He was a believer.

536
00:22:59,083 --> 00:22:59,683
Sure.

537
00:22:59,683 --> 00:23:00,049
Of course.

538
00:23:00,116 --> 00:23:01,299
And he was just showing how.

539
00:23:01,299 --> 00:23:05,566
God makes stuff work and he was just digging into God's creation anymore,

540
00:23:05,566 --> 00:23:06,950
they're just trying to prove God don't exist.

541
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,833
Yeah.

542
00:23:08,383 --> 00:23:09,516
That's where we're at.

543
00:23:09,583 --> 00:23:12,166
And not only are they trying to prove God doesn't exist.

544
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:14,200
I remember, I'll never forget.

545
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:18,400
Interviews with Neil Degrasse Tyson, right?

546
00:23:18,466 --> 00:23:21,700
There was an interview with him back in the late 80s where

547
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,299
he talked about nothing in science and

548
00:23:25,299 --> 00:23:28,533
religion disagree with each other.

549
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:29,866
Like there, it's fine.

550
00:23:29,916 --> 00:23:32,083
You can coincide.

551
00:23:32,133 --> 00:23:34,900
science and he said exactly what I just said.

552
00:23:34,966 --> 00:23:38,083
Science tries to explain the how, whereas

553
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:40,849
faith in religion in the Bible tell you why.

554
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,966
Why does everything work the way it does because God said

555
00:23:43,966 --> 00:23:45,049
because God did?

556
00:23:45,650 --> 00:23:46,833
How did he make it work?

557
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:48,333
Well, that's what we're studying with sciences.

558
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,416
We're trying to figure out the exact mechanics of how does gravity work?

559
00:23:52,483 --> 00:23:55,716
Well, we study that through science, and you figure out the existence of gravity,

560
00:23:55,716 --> 00:23:58,233
and you figure out why we don't fly off the earth by doing science.

561
00:23:58,299 --> 00:23:59,683
But why?

562
00:23:59,733 --> 00:24:01,299
Because God made it that way.

563
00:24:01,366 --> 00:24:01,966
That's why.

564
00:24:02,016 --> 00:24:04,299
And he said, it's 2 separate studies.

565
00:24:04,366 --> 00:24:05,566
But then you have him.

566
00:24:05,616 --> 00:24:08,733
Literally, about 10 years ago, sitting in an

567
00:24:08,733 --> 00:24:12,099
interview and saying, well, you know, I just find religion

568
00:24:12,099 --> 00:24:15,216
to be so annoying because people just leave it as God

569
00:24:15,216 --> 00:24:18,216
said it and that settles it and so I'm not going to look any deeper and he's like,

570
00:24:18,216 --> 00:24:19,349
I just can't believe people are like that.

571
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:22,299
And it's like, look, dude, some people don't need anything more.

572
00:24:22,299 --> 00:24:23,616
And it's fine.

573
00:24:23,683 --> 00:24:25,599
They're not going to be scientists.

574
00:24:25,666 --> 00:24:27,583
They are not going to have a major breakthrough.

575
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:30,633
Those people are not going to have a serious breakthrough that's going to make us move forward.

576
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:32,016
They're not going to give us new medicines.

577
00:24:32,083 --> 00:24:33,349
They not going to save anybody's life.

578
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,716
They're just people.

579
00:24:34,783 --> 00:24:38,083
And that's 80% of the planet, at least probably

580
00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:39,400
closer to 90%.

581
00:24:39,466 --> 00:24:42,583
So that 10% that are out there trying to do something

582
00:24:42,583 --> 00:24:45,700
new, you guys keep trying to do something new, it doesn't,

583
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:47,566
the Bible doesn't prevent you from learning new things.

584
00:24:47,616 --> 00:24:50,733
But be okay with somebody else just saying, I'm

585
00:24:50,733 --> 00:24:53,066
willing to accept that God did it and I don't want to know the how.

586
00:24:53,133 --> 00:24:54,516
I just, I want to know the why.

587
00:24:54,583 --> 00:24:55,250
Yeah.

588
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:57,450
Amen.

589
00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:59,316
Verse two.

590
00:24:59,383 --> 00:25:04,066
I mean, man, we're just seeing that verses one and two, just,

591
00:25:04,066 --> 00:25:06,400
that's God bringing order into out of chaos.

592
00:25:06,466 --> 00:25:07,900
Yeah, absolutely.

593
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:09,533
He still does it, man.

594
00:25:09,583 --> 00:25:09,950
He does.

595
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,483
He still does.

596
00:25:10,533 --> 00:25:11,016
He does.

597
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:12,766
Thank God that he does.

598
00:25:12,816 --> 00:25:13,716
Because I'm chaotic.

599
00:25:15,216 --> 00:25:17,849
I'm so chaotic at time.

600
00:25:17,916 --> 00:25:19,716
All right, you want to do 3 through five?

601
00:25:19,783 --> 00:25:21,400
Well, we never actually read all of verse two.

602
00:25:21,466 --> 00:25:22,733
We skipped over.

603
00:25:22,783 --> 00:25:23,566
Reddit I think.

604
00:25:23,616 --> 00:25:24,450
Nope.

605
00:25:24,516 --> 00:25:25,349
He just skipped over it.

606
00:25:25,416 --> 00:25:27,283
We never actually read the verse.

607
00:25:27,333 --> 00:25:28,533
quoted part of it.

608
00:25:28,666 --> 00:25:30,583
And I already get that.

609
00:25:30,633 --> 00:25:33,700
And the earth was without form of void, and darkness was upon

610
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:37,000
the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

611
00:25:37,549 --> 00:25:40,716
Toy, you're already seeing God, the Father,

612
00:25:40,716 --> 00:25:43,183
and the Holy Spirit right here, aren't we?

613
00:25:43,233 --> 00:25:43,766
Absolutely.

614
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:44,066
Yeah.

615
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,816
Absolutely.

616
00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:47,383
All right?

617
00:25:47,433 --> 00:25:48,266
And then verse 3.

618
00:25:48,466 --> 00:25:50,083
Then God said, let there be light.

619
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:50,799
And there was light.

620
00:25:51,099 --> 00:25:54,583
God saw that the light was good and God separated the light from darkness.

621
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:58,000
God called the light day in the darkness, he called night.

622
00:25:58,066 --> 00:26:00,583
And there was evening and there was mourning one day.

623
00:26:01,250 --> 00:26:02,266
One day.

624
00:26:02,316 --> 00:26:05,383
So this is this is a little bit confusing for a lot of

625
00:26:05,383 --> 00:26:08,200
people here too, that this he didn't create the sun at this point.

626
00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:10,233
It was light.

627
00:26:10,299 --> 00:26:10,966
Right.

628
00:26:11,016 --> 00:26:11,433
Yeah.

629
00:26:11,616 --> 00:26:13,533
It probably himself.

630
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:16,183
We know where a lot's going to come from in the end, right?

631
00:26:16,233 --> 00:26:17,366
There would be no need for the sun.

632
00:26:17,433 --> 00:26:19,000
Yeah, we saw the new Jerusalem.

633
00:26:19,066 --> 00:26:19,433
That's right

634
00:26:19,533 --> 00:26:20,916
And it's a kind of glory.

635
00:26:20,983 --> 00:26:22,183
Yes, absolutely.

636
00:26:22,233 --> 00:26:23,366
Absolutely.

637
00:26:23,433 --> 00:26:24,216
We studied that.

638
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:26,916
I mean, this is a big deal.

639
00:26:26,983 --> 00:26:29,983
This is the 1st time ever that it

640
00:26:29,983 --> 00:26:32,049
was recorded that God spoke.

641
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:34,533
God spoke.

642
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:35,799
He said something.

643
00:26:35,866 --> 00:26:40,299
I mean, it wasn't just a silent, uh,

644
00:26:40,299 --> 00:26:43,416
distant God, but God actually spoke,

645
00:26:43,416 --> 00:26:46,483
he said something and he was speaking and creating

646
00:26:46,483 --> 00:26:48,216
at the same time, right?

647
00:26:48,283 --> 00:26:51,516
And, and, and, and to me, this is this is so literal.

648
00:26:51,583 --> 00:26:52,299
right here too.

649
00:26:52,366 --> 00:26:55,666
I mean, it, it, you know, uh, God sought

650
00:26:55,666 --> 00:26:58,733
their light and it was good and God divided the light from the darkness and God

651
00:26:58,733 --> 00:27:01,833
called the light day and the darkness he called night and

652
00:27:01,833 --> 00:27:04,599
the evening and the morning were the 1st day, right?

653
00:27:04,666 --> 00:27:08,500
So we're talking about 24 hour days right here.

654
00:27:08,566 --> 00:27:11,566
We're not talking about, let's not get

655
00:27:11,566 --> 00:27:14,866
caught up and, you know, everybody will say, well, I

656
00:27:14,866 --> 00:27:17,933
still think it's a 1000000 years or, you know, 1000000000s of years old

657
00:27:17,933 --> 00:27:21,816
because, you know, a day is of a 1000 years and a 1000 years a day.

658
00:27:21,883 --> 00:27:24,166
Hey, that's... you're taking it out of context.

659
00:27:24,216 --> 00:27:25,533
If they're going to go that route,

660
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:26,383
Okay, fine.

661
00:27:26,433 --> 00:27:29,799
Still can't be more than 7000 years right at the beginning because

662
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:31,533
it is only 7 days.

663
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:32,500
Right, yeah.

664
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,383
That's still quite a bit less than a million.

665
00:27:35,433 --> 00:27:37,166
Does it make a 1000000 or a billion, right?

666
00:27:37,233 --> 00:27:37,599
Yeah.

667
00:27:37,666 --> 00:27:40,833
So again, you're coming out to way less than

668
00:27:40,833 --> 00:27:41,916
a million.

669
00:27:42,450 --> 00:27:43,716
Coming short here, yeah.

670
00:27:43,783 --> 00:27:46,900
But, but I mean, I think, I mean, it lays that out

671
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:50,133
to us so that we know that, that,

672
00:27:50,133 --> 00:27:54,333
that the evening, the morning in the evening were one day, right?

673
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,533
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

674
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:57,216
There's no reason to doubt that.

675
00:27:57,283 --> 00:27:57,700
No.

676
00:27:57,766 --> 00:27:58,666
I mean, is God.

677
00:27:58,716 --> 00:27:59,433
Yeah.

678
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:01,299
And I will I will throw out here.

679
00:28:01,366 --> 00:28:04,366
So a lot of, um, a lot of

680
00:28:04,366 --> 00:28:07,366
the really out there Christians that want to tie

681
00:28:07,366 --> 00:28:09,950
in mysticism and garbage like that into Christianity.

682
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,633
They talk about being able to speak and make things happen and all that.

683
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:14,200
Here's why you can't.

684
00:28:14,316 --> 00:28:16,650
Go read John 11.

685
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,683
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was,

686
00:28:20,683 --> 00:28:22,783
and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

687
00:28:23,549 --> 00:28:25,966
If that is true, what does that mean?

688
00:28:26,016 --> 00:28:29,016
The speaking was, that was Jesus

689
00:28:29,016 --> 00:28:32,616
Christ right there, before he was, before he was incarnate,

690
00:28:32,616 --> 00:28:35,616
before he became a man, that is Christ, right there.

691
00:28:35,683 --> 00:28:38,866
The thing that happened, the thing that was going

692
00:28:38,866 --> 00:28:42,283
on with those words being spoken, that is literally Jesus,

693
00:28:42,283 --> 00:28:45,466
right here, God the Father, God the Son,

694
00:28:45,466 --> 00:28:49,183
let there be, and God the Holy Spirit, because it said the Spirit moved upon the face of the waters.

695
00:28:49,233 --> 00:28:51,333
All 3 of them are right here in the beginning.

696
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,183
absolutely.

697
00:28:52,233 --> 00:28:54,150
That is so amazing to me.

698
00:28:54,216 --> 00:28:55,716
Ties all the way through.

699
00:28:55,783 --> 00:28:57,700
We just finished seeing there, all 3 there at the end.

700
00:28:58,549 --> 00:29:02,733
I mean, and they're just, they're so intertwined and,

701
00:29:02,733 --> 00:29:03,750
yeah, I love it.

702
00:29:03,816 --> 00:29:06,883
But that is that my point being that that is very, very different than us.

703
00:29:06,933 --> 00:29:09,033
When we speak, our words are just words.

704
00:29:09,099 --> 00:29:12,933
And there is no amount of meditating

705
00:29:12,933 --> 00:29:16,533
and focusing and whatever that's going to make your words do

706
00:29:16,533 --> 00:29:20,366
anything other than maybe hurt somebody's feelings or make somebody mad.

707
00:29:20,566 --> 00:29:22,183
That's it.

708
00:29:22,233 --> 00:29:23,200
Your words are just words.

709
00:29:23,266 --> 00:29:23,866
I promise.

710
00:29:23,916 --> 00:29:26,133
You're not going to make something happen by speaking it.

711
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,633
And that's not saying you shouldn't pray for things.

712
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:31,416
Oh, yeah.

713
00:29:31,416 --> 00:29:33,150
Different 2 different statements here.

714
00:29:33,216 --> 00:29:37,000
I should throw that out there because I just realized we have some people that would listen and go, oh, you say don't play?

715
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:38,983
I'm saying, yeah, we're not going to speak things into existence.

716
00:29:39,033 --> 00:29:43,299
The tongue is powerful, but it's not able to.

717
00:29:43,366 --> 00:29:46,366
I can't say, uh, I want a

718
00:29:46,366 --> 00:29:50,150
ribeye steak right here right now, and I got a ribeye steak right here in a second.

719
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,299
You know, it's not it's not going to happen in that way.

720
00:29:52,366 --> 00:29:55,849
Now, wouldn't it have been cool if you'd said that and a ribeye snake had popped down on the table right there?

721
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:56,500
That'd been awesome.

722
00:29:56,566 --> 00:29:57,166
Yes, sir.

723
00:29:57,166 --> 00:29:57,766
Absolutely.

724
00:29:57,816 --> 00:29:59,983
been Harry Potter stuff, right?

725
00:30:00,033 --> 00:30:00,866
Yeah, yeah.

726
00:30:00,933 --> 00:30:01,650
Ding dingy.

727
00:30:01,716 --> 00:30:03,400
Yeah, demonic junk.

728
00:30:03,466 --> 00:30:04,066
Exactly.

729
00:30:04,116 --> 00:30:04,900
Right.

730
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:08,266
So, so yeah, I, you know, but, but, but we,

731
00:30:08,266 --> 00:30:11,433
uh, Nothing that

732
00:30:11,433 --> 00:30:14,500
we do, uh, has the

733
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:16,183
power that God does, right?

734
00:30:16,233 --> 00:30:19,233
I mean, and that he has done and just by

735
00:30:19,233 --> 00:30:20,849
speaking, he creates it.

736
00:30:20,916 --> 00:30:24,216
And we'll learn later that it's good.

737
00:30:24,283 --> 00:30:26,150
Yeah, through every day.

738
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,500
I mean, how much intricate

739
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:32,433
detail is in these big broad words that are used here.

740
00:30:32,916 --> 00:30:34,900
We can't discover it at all.

741
00:30:34,966 --> 00:30:36,349
We're still working on it.

742
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,799
Can you imagine not at this point?

743
00:30:38,866 --> 00:30:39,766
There's no moon.

744
00:30:39,816 --> 00:30:40,833
There's no sun.

745
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:43,900
You just have life that shows up and it's day, and

746
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:45,333
then it's, there's nothing.

747
00:30:45,466 --> 00:30:47,333
There's no, there's no...

748
00:30:47,333 --> 00:30:49,833
Maybe the rotation of the earth at that point or something.

749
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:50,316
I don't know.

750
00:30:50,383 --> 00:30:51,583
I don't know what it was.

751
00:30:51,633 --> 00:30:54,033
I think I suspect this was the entire universe.

752
00:30:54,099 --> 00:30:56,616
I think this is still the whole universe it's referring to.

753
00:30:56,683 --> 00:31:00,033
You had light, and he called that day, and they faded

754
00:31:00,033 --> 00:31:03,099
to nothing, and he called the darkness night, so the darkness was darkness.

755
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:06,049
And I think he was teaching them to rest.

756
00:31:06,166 --> 00:31:09,049
He was teaching man to rest right off the bat.

757
00:31:09,099 --> 00:31:12,333
Because, I mean, we know at the end of this the

758
00:31:12,333 --> 00:31:15,400
6 day that God rested, right?

759
00:31:15,466 --> 00:31:18,700
Not that he needed to, but again, he's teaching us that,

760
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:20,799
hey, there's times you need to rest.

761
00:31:20,866 --> 00:31:23,383
When Christ was walking the earth.

762
00:31:23,433 --> 00:31:26,250
There was times that he went and he rested, right?

763
00:31:26,316 --> 00:31:29,433
He, he, um, he gathered his thoughts

764
00:31:29,433 --> 00:31:32,433
in his mind and, and, um, and so God's,

765
00:31:32,433 --> 00:31:33,866
he's teaching us that.

766
00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:35,849
Not that he not that he needs it.

767
00:31:35,916 --> 00:31:39,216
And we never see another time where I

768
00:31:39,216 --> 00:31:40,533
mean, Jesus is not out there resting.

769
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:41,916
No, no, no, no.

770
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:45,216
No, and he says my father's been working since that day.

771
00:31:45,283 --> 00:31:47,316
Yeah, since that day.

772
00:31:47,383 --> 00:31:47,916
That's it.

773
00:31:47,983 --> 00:31:48,766
Yeah.

774
00:31:48,816 --> 00:31:49,783
Thank God he don't stop.

775
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:50,366
Amen.

776
00:31:50,433 --> 00:31:50,849
Amen.

777
00:31:51,849 --> 00:31:52,366
Amen.

778
00:31:52,416 --> 00:31:53,799
Can do verse six.

779
00:31:53,866 --> 00:31:54,533
Yeah.

780
00:31:54,533 --> 00:31:58,233
And God said, let the permanent in

781
00:31:58,233 --> 00:32:01,416
the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters

782
00:32:01,416 --> 00:32:02,750
from the waters.

783
00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:06,216
Um, The word divide means

784
00:32:06,216 --> 00:32:07,233
airspace.

785
00:32:07,299 --> 00:32:09,400
There's airspace between it.

786
00:32:09,466 --> 00:32:12,933
So to interpret it accurately,

787
00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:16,000
we have, we would have to believe that there

788
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,216
is water above and below.

789
00:32:18,450 --> 00:32:21,516
Yeah, I was looking at answers in Genesis

790
00:32:21,516 --> 00:32:23,433
about this because it's kind of confusing.

791
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:24,766
You know, I've heard this theory.

792
00:32:24,816 --> 00:32:28,416
You know, that there were the earth's crust rode on a cushion of water.

793
00:32:28,533 --> 00:32:30,700
That's where the flood came from, the springs of the deep.

794
00:32:30,766 --> 00:32:31,250
Right, right.

795
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:33,266
That there was also the canopy all the way around the world.

796
00:32:33,333 --> 00:32:33,633
Yeah.

797
00:32:33,633 --> 00:32:37,599
A firmament of water or and they're

798
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:42,333
making the argument that firmament is the wrong word that it's supposed to be expanse.

799
00:32:42,466 --> 00:32:43,183
Yeah.

800
00:32:43,183 --> 00:32:46,250
And they actually make the argument because of what

801
00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:50,250
we'll see in what was it verse seven, verse seven.

802
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:51,216
the very next one.

803
00:32:51,283 --> 00:32:54,283
that the water is above the stars.

804
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,516
Yeah. that they're making the argument and answers in

805
00:32:57,516 --> 00:32:59,616
Genesis, that water surrounds the universe.

806
00:32:59,683 --> 00:33:00,700
Yeah.

807
00:33:00,766 --> 00:33:01,133
Wow.

808
00:33:01,233 --> 00:33:02,200
That's a lot of water

809
00:33:02,316 --> 00:33:03,349
It is a lot of water.

810
00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:04,783
That's I don't know.

811
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:06,033
I don't know either.

812
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:11,433
Well, it did say in verse 2 that

813
00:33:11,433 --> 00:33:15,033
when you had everything was formless and without was without

814
00:33:15,033 --> 00:33:18,566
form and void and the spirit moved upon the face of the waters.

815
00:33:18,633 --> 00:33:21,750
So it's almost as though God created that and

816
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:25,599
the matter that he created the waters were there and then he just moved

817
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:27,283
it out outside of everything.

818
00:33:27,333 --> 00:33:27,816
That's possible.

819
00:33:27,883 --> 00:33:31,666
They claim, you know, like they measure radiation levels out in space and all this stuff.

820
00:33:31,666 --> 00:33:35,983
I don't understand it, but they claim some stuff and answers in genesis that sounds like, wow.

821
00:33:36,033 --> 00:33:36,933
Yeah.

822
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,883
There'd be that much water surround the entire universe.

823
00:33:39,933 --> 00:33:42,150
But then I think, you know, God ain't got a budget.

824
00:33:42,216 --> 00:33:42,750
No.

825
00:33:42,766 --> 00:33:43,250
That's right.

826
00:33:43,299 --> 00:33:44,616
You can make as much water as they want.

827
00:33:44,683 --> 00:33:45,650
Whatever he wants today.

828
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:48,033
But I just thought that was interesting.

829
00:33:48,099 --> 00:33:49,299
It is interesting.

830
00:33:49,299 --> 00:33:53,383
It's hard to really put our heads around any of this and

831
00:33:53,383 --> 00:33:54,400
visualize it, you know.

832
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:57,700
And and two, this is one of those areas where unfortunately dealing

833
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:01,533
with the ancient Hebrew makes it kind of hard because

834
00:34:01,533 --> 00:34:04,233
they had they had words that meant like 10 different things.

835
00:34:04,299 --> 00:34:07,783
And so the word, we, you know, that King James translated

836
00:34:07,783 --> 00:34:10,783
it firmament, the most modern translations call

837
00:34:10,783 --> 00:34:14,266
it expanse, there's one translation that calls it a vault.

838
00:34:14,316 --> 00:34:17,800
Um, and then other places, you have it called sky.

839
00:34:17,866 --> 00:34:21,216
You have it immediate directly referred to as sky and other places referred

840
00:34:21,216 --> 00:34:22,483
to as heaven and other places.

841
00:34:22,533 --> 00:34:23,916
And it's like, oh, goodness.

842
00:34:23,983 --> 00:34:26,150
But it's because there were so many different ways.

843
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:30,583
And you got to also remember, they didn't have vowels when they were writing this, or yeah, vowels.

844
00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:31,300
It was all consonants.

845
00:34:31,366 --> 00:34:32,500
Well, they're rock.

846
00:34:33,516 --> 00:34:34,349
And they're riding backwards.

847
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,616
To go along with what you're saying here, and I mean, I should probably just

848
00:34:38,616 --> 00:34:41,733
read verse 7, and it's because and God made the firm

849
00:34:41,733 --> 00:34:44,966
and it and divided the waters, which were under the firm and it, from the waters,

850
00:34:44,983 --> 00:34:47,983
which were above the firm and it was so,

851
00:34:47,983 --> 00:34:51,050
um, I mean, if you've ever been called

852
00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:54,099
in a rainstorm, then you know there's a lot of water

853
00:34:54,099 --> 00:34:55,783
above, right?

854
00:34:55,783 --> 00:34:58,300
I mean, I understand there's evaporation.

855
00:34:58,366 --> 00:35:01,433
There's things going on, but there's there's a lot of water

856
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:04,599
that pours out of the sky enough to be brought down and

857
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:06,766
keep filled up what is below.

858
00:35:06,766 --> 00:35:07,599
Yeah.

859
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:10,116
Keep everything filled up and flooded sometimes.

860
00:35:10,183 --> 00:35:10,849
you know?

861
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,900
I mean, so just it's just

862
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:17,083
an amazing, amazing thing.

863
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,383
If every bit of the excess water that's

864
00:35:20,383 --> 00:35:23,866
just floating around in our atmosphere, all the humidity just solidified

865
00:35:23,866 --> 00:35:26,983
and just dropped down to the ground, it would completely float.

866
00:35:27,033 --> 00:35:28,599
It would cause massive flow.

867
00:35:28,666 --> 00:35:31,966
I'm not going to say, we're not talking like, we're not talking like, uh,

868
00:35:31,966 --> 00:35:33,349
uh, uh, no levels here.

869
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,699
It's not going to cover Mount Everest, but it would definitely flood

870
00:35:36,699 --> 00:35:38,566
the vast majority of cities.

871
00:35:39,449 --> 00:35:40,599
We'd be in trouble.

872
00:35:40,666 --> 00:35:41,683
be ugly.

873
00:35:41,733 --> 00:35:42,816
Absolutely.

874
00:35:42,883 --> 00:35:45,933
Yeah, that might as well read that, I guess, 1st 8 there too, because that

875
00:35:45,933 --> 00:35:48,699
was, I called the expanse heaven, and there was evening.

876
00:35:48,766 --> 00:35:49,900
There was morning, a 2nd day.

877
00:35:50,449 --> 00:35:53,616
You know, and this is the thing, too, that when

878
00:35:53,616 --> 00:35:57,199
we think about what, first, 2nd, and 3rd heavens,

879
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,466
and we also understand, most

880
00:36:00,466 --> 00:36:03,699
scholars believe that Genesis was written by

881
00:36:03,699 --> 00:36:06,766
Moses, that Moses wrote the 1st

882
00:36:06,766 --> 00:36:09,583
5 books of the Bible, and I think most scholars agree on that.

883
00:36:09,633 --> 00:36:12,699
There's some of them that go off, you know, on rabbit

884
00:36:12,699 --> 00:36:13,783
trails and weird places.

885
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:16,949
But in that day, like

886
00:36:16,966 --> 00:36:20,199
I said earlier, I mean, for all they knew, the sun

887
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:24,166
was the size of maybe Texas just, you know, a little ways up in the sky.

888
00:36:24,216 --> 00:36:24,583
Right.

889
00:36:24,583 --> 00:36:25,666
But they didn't understand.

890
00:36:25,716 --> 00:36:27,283
1000000s and 1000000s of miles away.

891
00:36:27,333 --> 00:36:29,849
They didn't understand how far these stars are from us.

892
00:36:29,916 --> 00:36:31,650
And when they looked up, they saw the heavens.

893
00:36:31,716 --> 00:36:33,099
Yeah. 2nd heavens, right?

894
00:36:33,166 --> 00:36:34,183
That's what they knew, right?

895
00:36:34,233 --> 00:36:34,466
Right.

896
00:36:34,483 --> 00:36:34,716
Yeah.

897
00:36:34,783 --> 00:36:36,349
Or well, the 1st heaven, I guess.

898
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,783
It all just looked like 1st heaven.

899
00:36:38,699 --> 00:36:41,983
And when God was explaining this to Moses and

900
00:36:41,983 --> 00:36:44,916
he used it, he does say that he called the firmament heaven.

901
00:36:45,033 --> 00:36:45,516
Yeah.

902
00:36:45,516 --> 00:36:47,983
And they suddenly use the same word for heaven there.

903
00:36:48,033 --> 00:36:51,516
And by the way, that is the word for the heavens,

904
00:36:51,516 --> 00:36:54,633
again, not the realm of God, but the thing

905
00:36:54,633 --> 00:36:55,716
we see when we look up.

906
00:36:55,783 --> 00:36:58,833
And so for some reason, modern translations

907
00:36:58,833 --> 00:37:00,150
always want to translate that sky.

908
00:37:00,216 --> 00:37:03,150
It's like, no, no, no, the thing you see when you look up, what do you see?

909
00:37:03,216 --> 00:37:06,750
Well, we see the sky, and then we see the stars, and we see space,

910
00:37:06,766 --> 00:37:10,000
and we see, if you're in this area and you look out on the right,

911
00:37:10,066 --> 00:37:13,116
I think this time of year, you can look out towards the west, you can catch part

912
00:37:13,116 --> 00:37:15,333
of the Milky Way Galaxy out there, you can see it.

913
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,699
And you're seeing all that when you look up.

914
00:37:18,766 --> 00:37:20,866
That's what they're talking about when they say heaven.

915
00:37:20,916 --> 00:37:24,333
So that's why I actually lean in the direction answers in Genesis.

916
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,766
I always lean in that of, this kind of sounds like it surrounds everything.

917
00:37:27,883 --> 00:37:29,866
Yeah, well, verse 7 is going to show it.

918
00:37:29,916 --> 00:37:30,333
Yeah, yeah.

919
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,083
I'm sorry, go ahead.

920
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:32,683
No, no, no.

921
00:37:32,733 --> 00:37:35,916
It's just he made the expense separated the waters above and below.

922
00:37:35,983 --> 00:37:37,966
And so it sounds like the water.

923
00:37:37,966 --> 00:37:38,866
Well, the stompers.

924
00:37:38,916 --> 00:37:40,833
Psalms 148 and verse four.

925
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,900
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and

926
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:46,183
you waters that be above the heavens.

927
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,099
There you go.

928
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:50,016
So, there you go.

929
00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:52,300
You know, and then proverbs.

930
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:53,500
That's a curveball for me.

931
00:37:53,566 --> 00:37:54,650
That's the 1st I've heard of this.

932
00:37:54,699 --> 00:37:56,616
It's like, yeah, moly.

933
00:37:56,683 --> 00:37:58,483
Yeah, that's a lot of water.

934
00:37:58,533 --> 00:37:59,666
It is a lot of water.

935
00:37:59,733 --> 00:38:04,000
Yeah, I had always heard it taught as surrounding the earth.

936
00:38:04,066 --> 00:38:07,183
But yeah, when you look at the way it's

937
00:38:07,183 --> 00:38:10,183
worded, it really sounds like, and the fact that they

938
00:38:10,183 --> 00:38:13,300
continue making references to it in Psalms, when,

939
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:15,766
supposedly, that shell around the earth is already gone.

940
00:38:15,816 --> 00:38:16,349
Yeah.

941
00:38:16,366 --> 00:38:19,483
And so it's like, wait, David's making a reference

942
00:38:19,483 --> 00:38:22,300
to this as being the waters that are above the heavens?

943
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:25,366
Yeah, it kind of sounds like it.

944
00:38:25,483 --> 00:38:28,716
Proverbs 828 says when he established the clouds

945
00:38:28,716 --> 00:38:31,183
above when he strengthened the fountains of the deep.

946
00:38:31,233 --> 00:38:35,916
I mean, we, again, we just, it just, it's above.

947
00:38:35,983 --> 00:38:36,516
below.

948
00:38:36,583 --> 00:38:37,483
It's everywhere.

949
00:38:37,533 --> 00:38:38,550
It's everywhere.

950
00:38:38,616 --> 00:38:39,216
everywhere.

951
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:41,133
It's everywhere.

952
00:38:43,099 --> 00:38:46,783
So at this point, we got...

953
00:38:47,349 --> 00:38:51,099
We got a universe surrounded by water or not and earth and on some water.

954
00:38:51,166 --> 00:38:51,583
Yeah.

955
00:38:51,583 --> 00:38:52,599
That's all we got.

956
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:53,199
That's right

957
00:38:53,316 --> 00:38:53,916
That's right

958
00:38:54,033 --> 00:38:56,500
Yeah, by the way, the dry ground hasn't even shown up yet.

959
00:38:57,949 --> 00:39:01,183
So, again, you're thinking this is taking thousands,

960
00:39:01,183 --> 00:39:02,916
you know, a 1000 years in between each step.

961
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,500
Really?

962
00:39:05,566 --> 00:39:09,583
When we get down here in a minute, you're going to see something that's going to blow that completely out of the water.

963
00:39:09,633 --> 00:39:11,199
But yeah, think about this.

964
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:14,566
He, 1st day, he's he's made light, separated

965
00:39:14,566 --> 00:39:17,750
the light from the dark, and called it day and night,

966
00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:21,216
and then he creates the, he gathers the water together and separates

967
00:39:21,216 --> 00:39:22,650
the water from the water.

968
00:39:24,349 --> 00:39:27,583
And now we come and that's all in, that's

969
00:39:27,583 --> 00:39:29,566
2 days worth, and there's no land.

970
00:39:29,616 --> 00:39:33,216
There's no individual planets apparently at this point.

971
00:39:33,283 --> 00:39:36,400
It's just you got nothing and water and

972
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,900
water and light.

973
00:39:39,033 --> 00:39:43,050
He was making it where we could we would exist or could exist.

974
00:39:43,116 --> 00:39:43,833
Yeah.

975
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:45,400
I mean, he goes step a step, don't he?

976
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:46,483
Yeah, step us still.

977
00:39:46,533 --> 00:39:48,449
Did you already read verse eight?

978
00:39:48,516 --> 00:39:49,783
Well, yeah, I threw it in there.

979
00:39:49,833 --> 00:39:51,400
Yeah, I thought you did.

980
00:39:51,466 --> 00:39:52,666
Kind of finished that out with 2nd day.

981
00:39:52,716 --> 00:39:55,949
Yeah, because, I mean, so, so,

982
00:39:55,966 --> 00:39:59,150
again, heaven is, it's in 3 layers.

983
00:40:00,099 --> 00:40:03,699
What's right above us, what's right beyond us and

984
00:40:03,699 --> 00:40:06,699
where Christ will take us to the place he's prepared

985
00:40:06,699 --> 00:40:09,099
for us one day or the heavens where God dwells, right?

986
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:13,716
You know, again, and also I do, I believe that these

987
00:40:13,716 --> 00:40:15,033
are 24 hour days.

988
00:40:15,099 --> 00:40:16,300
Absolutely.

989
00:40:16,366 --> 00:40:16,849
Absolutely.

990
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:17,733
Absolutely.

991
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:21,766
Yeah, it's, I don't understand that.

992
00:40:21,766 --> 00:40:23,800
anybody can get anything else out of it.

993
00:40:23,866 --> 00:40:25,966
I don't need I don't need to.

994
00:40:26,016 --> 00:40:27,150
I mean he makes it very, very clear.

995
00:40:27,216 --> 00:40:27,699
Yeah.

996
00:40:27,699 --> 00:40:28,183
Very clear.

997
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:28,966
Yeah.

998
00:40:29,016 --> 00:40:31,416
Just trying to sound smarter than we are, I guess.

999
00:40:31,483 --> 00:40:34,599
That goes back to the Babylon, you know, human intelligence

1000
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,933
is the greatest thing ever, blah, blah, blah.

1001
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,483
Right.

1002
00:40:37,533 --> 00:40:38,916
But all right.

1003
00:40:38,983 --> 00:40:39,816
We're going to try.

1004
00:40:39,816 --> 00:40:41,316
You want to do the like the next day?

1005
00:40:41,383 --> 00:40:42,816
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

1006
00:40:42,933 --> 00:40:44,316
up through 13, this is true.

1007
00:40:44,383 --> 00:40:47,383
Then God said, let the waters below the heavens be gathered into

1008
00:40:47,383 --> 00:40:49,716
one place and let the dry land appear.

1009
00:40:49,783 --> 00:40:50,616
And it was so.

1010
00:40:50,683 --> 00:40:54,766
God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters, he called seas.

1011
00:40:54,816 --> 00:40:56,316
And God saw that it was good.

1012
00:40:57,150 --> 00:40:58,000
Maybe I'll stop there.

1013
00:40:58,066 --> 00:40:59,199
Yeah, yeah.

1014
00:41:02,266 --> 00:41:04,849
So out of the waters came a new place for us to dwell.

1015
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:05,916
Here it is, right?

1016
00:41:05,983 --> 00:41:08,683
Dirt that we can set our feet on.

1017
00:41:08,733 --> 00:41:09,266
Yeah.

1018
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,116
Yeah.

1019
00:41:11,199 --> 00:41:14,916
Yeah, and they said, I love this vegetation

1020
00:41:14,916 --> 00:41:16,116
thing is pretty awesome, man.

1021
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:18,633
Yeah, go on and hit that.

1022
00:41:18,699 --> 00:41:20,083
Yeah, let me go ahead and hit through 13.

1023
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:21,333
My notes are all messed up.

1024
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,683
And then God said, let the earth sprout vegetation.

1025
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,800
Plants yielding seed and fruit trees on

1026
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,166
the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them, and it was so.

1027
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:33,816
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed

1028
00:41:33,816 --> 00:41:36,883
after their kind and trees bearing fruit with seed in them after their

1029
00:41:36,883 --> 00:41:38,983
kind, and God saw that it was good.

1030
00:41:39,033 --> 00:41:41,800
There was evening, there was morning, a 3rd day.

1031
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:44,316
And that's vegetation is the 1st live forms.

1032
00:41:44,383 --> 00:41:44,800
Yeah.

1033
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,933
The 1st live form.

1034
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:46,900
Absolutely.

1035
00:41:46,966 --> 00:41:47,866
And guess what we need to live?

1036
00:41:47,916 --> 00:41:48,816
Yeah.

1037
00:41:48,883 --> 00:41:49,900
We need vegetation

1038
00:41:50,083 --> 00:41:51,583
We need something to eat, right?

1039
00:41:51,633 --> 00:41:53,316
You need them making oxygen for us.

1040
00:41:53,383 --> 00:41:56,083
By the way, there's no sun.

1041
00:41:57,150 --> 00:41:58,533
Yeah, but there's a lot.

1042
00:41:58,599 --> 00:41:59,500
There's a lot, yeah.

1043
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:00,333
But there's no sun.

1044
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,266
He's able to sustain it, right?

1045
00:42:02,266 --> 00:42:02,566
Yeah.

1046
00:42:02,616 --> 00:42:03,750
It's another day.

1047
00:42:03,816 --> 00:42:05,683
Well, that's what I was going to say now.

1048
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:06,333
Hang on.

1049
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,766
This is actually important to why the argument a 1000 years doesn't really work.

1050
00:42:09,816 --> 00:42:13,416
If it's a 1000 years between this and the next day,

1051
00:42:13,416 --> 00:42:16,599
these plants existed for the entire time between now

1052
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:19,666
and the actual creation of the of the sun and the

1053
00:42:19,666 --> 00:42:22,783
moon, which is later, and it is talked about, they

1054
00:42:22,783 --> 00:42:25,900
had to exist for a couple 1000 years with no

1055
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,683
sun that they're designed to need to thrive and survive.

1056
00:42:29,733 --> 00:42:32,733
And it's like, that doesn't, or the bees and the things

1057
00:42:32,733 --> 00:42:35,849
that they need to pollinate the plants to make, the plants grow and thrive.

1058
00:42:35,916 --> 00:42:38,616
So these plants are just sitting here dormant for 1000s of years.

1059
00:42:38,683 --> 00:42:39,166
Really?

1060
00:42:39,216 --> 00:42:42,216
You, you want to go that direction with it, whether than just

1061
00:42:42,216 --> 00:42:43,650
going, nah, this is literal 7 days.

1062
00:42:43,666 --> 00:42:46,666
Plus, we understand too, that God created these

1063
00:42:46,666 --> 00:42:47,933
things with seeds.

1064
00:42:47,983 --> 00:42:49,849
Yeah, it's a self-sustaining stuff.

1065
00:42:49,966 --> 00:42:52,000
It's reproducing it.

1066
00:42:52,066 --> 00:42:52,733
It's ready work.

1067
00:42:52,783 --> 00:42:55,666
And at this point in time, it was perfect, right?

1068
00:42:55,716 --> 00:42:56,250
It was perfect.

1069
00:42:56,316 --> 00:42:57,449
He keeps saying it was good.

1070
00:42:57,516 --> 00:42:58,050
It was good.

1071
00:42:58,116 --> 00:42:58,599
It was good.

1072
00:42:58,666 --> 00:42:59,150
It was good.

1073
00:42:59,199 --> 00:43:01,599
And when God says it's good, it's not like me saying.

1074
00:43:01,666 --> 00:43:02,266
Oh, that's good.

1075
00:43:02,316 --> 00:43:03,933
When he said it's good, it's good.

1076
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:04,833
How good is he?

1077
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:08,199
And it's like you've already said, we see this thing being laid out.

1078
00:43:08,266 --> 00:43:11,866
He speaks this big blob into existence, right?

1079
00:43:11,916 --> 00:43:13,483
It's a it's a mess.

1080
00:43:13,533 --> 00:43:16,533
It's water covered over this dirt that's

1081
00:43:16,533 --> 00:43:19,533
way up under there and then he says, okay, I'm going

1082
00:43:19,533 --> 00:43:20,666
to have to separate the water.

1083
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,116
I'm going to put some of it up here.

1084
00:43:22,116 --> 00:43:23,550
I'm going to put some of it down here.

1085
00:43:23,566 --> 00:43:26,733
And then, you know,

1086
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:29,849
out of the waters came this place that we could set our

1087
00:43:29,866 --> 00:43:32,750
feet and he made the dirt so that we could set our feet there.

1088
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,916
And now he gives us something to sustain us with.

1089
00:43:35,983 --> 00:43:38,750
He gives us the food that we need.

1090
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,283
We can gather, what man

1091
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,766
was, he was a vegetarian until the flood came, right?

1092
00:43:45,816 --> 00:43:47,800
He was a vegetarian until then.

1093
00:43:48,449 --> 00:43:51,933
And then grass, trees, uh, grown

1094
00:43:51,933 --> 00:43:54,333
trees, fully developed, developed fruit.

1095
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,283
I mean, that's what he that's what he gave us.

1096
00:43:57,333 --> 00:44:00,099
And, uh, and, and, like, Tyler said.

1097
00:44:00,166 --> 00:44:03,283
Um, you know, if you think about this.

1098
00:44:03,333 --> 00:44:06,333
Now, my, I've got a little

1099
00:44:06,333 --> 00:44:08,966
garden out there, got some tomato plants.

1100
00:44:09,033 --> 00:44:11,199
I got some peppers, I got some squash.

1101
00:44:11,699 --> 00:44:14,800
I've got some, I've got

1102
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,916
some cucumbers, you know, and

1103
00:44:17,916 --> 00:44:21,216
those things need a

1104
00:44:21,216 --> 00:44:23,083
couple of different things to survive, right?

1105
00:44:23,133 --> 00:44:26,199
They need water and they need sunlight.

1106
00:44:26,266 --> 00:44:31,066
Now, they won't die tonight, right?

1107
00:44:31,116 --> 00:44:35,133
they'll be fine tonight after the sun goes down, they've got what they needed.

1108
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:36,699
So think about this.

1109
00:44:36,766 --> 00:44:38,449
think about what he's done here.

1110
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:40,416
He has he's made these plants.

1111
00:44:40,483 --> 00:44:43,116
He's made these trees on one day.

1112
00:44:43,183 --> 00:44:46,366
And as Tyler was referring to, is they didn't stay there a 1000 years.

1113
00:44:46,416 --> 00:44:48,283
What happens in verse 14 and 15.

1114
00:44:48,583 --> 00:44:49,783
Yeah, right?

1115
00:44:50,133 --> 00:44:54,033
Here comes what they need to sustain them and to keep them.

1116
00:44:54,650 --> 00:44:55,116
Yeah.

1117
00:44:55,116 --> 00:44:58,483
I was thinking, I was thinking, man, you imagine that

1118
00:44:58,483 --> 00:44:59,949
this earth is perfectly...

1119
00:44:59,966 --> 00:45:01,099
Yeah.

1120
00:45:01,099 --> 00:45:03,916
Perfect mix, perfect pH, perfect.

1121
00:45:03,983 --> 00:45:05,366
I mean it's just perfect soil.

1122
00:45:05,433 --> 00:45:06,516
Yeah, absolutely.

1123
00:45:06,516 --> 00:45:09,433
And you got to think this light's still coming from God.

1124
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:10,283
That's perfect light.

1125
00:45:10,349 --> 00:45:10,833
Yes.

1126
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:12,633
Imagine the size of a watermelon.

1127
00:45:12,683 --> 00:45:13,650
Yeah, yeah.

1128
00:45:14,166 --> 00:45:15,266
Oh my goodness, yeah.

1129
00:45:15,383 --> 00:45:16,283
size of a squash.

1130
00:45:17,216 --> 00:45:19,766
And what these things must taste like it blow your head off.

1131
00:45:19,833 --> 00:45:20,550
It tasted good.

1132
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:21,916
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

1133
00:45:22,050 --> 00:45:22,650
absolutely.

1134
00:45:22,699 --> 00:45:25,766
I mean, you know, some things we, they can get

1135
00:45:25,766 --> 00:45:28,283
too big, not taste good here, but it doesn't matter there.

1136
00:45:28,349 --> 00:45:28,583
Yeah.

1137
00:45:28,650 --> 00:45:29,133
Home?

1138
00:45:30,066 --> 00:45:33,750
Well, I mean, we even, we even read,

1139
00:45:33,750 --> 00:45:36,983
way down the road, we read about when they went into the promised

1140
00:45:36,983 --> 00:45:40,099
land and they started, they started gathering up

1141
00:45:40,099 --> 00:45:43,766
grapes and stuff and they, they were talking about how big these races were.

1142
00:45:43,833 --> 00:45:47,366
I mean, these things were left over from, uh,

1143
00:45:47,816 --> 00:45:50,550
it's why it's why man was able to live for so long.

1144
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:53,116
Everything had perfect genetics, right?

1145
00:45:53,183 --> 00:45:56,250
Everything was exactly perfect the way

1146
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:57,616
it needed to be.

1147
00:45:57,716 --> 00:46:01,050
And so even even 100s of years down

1148
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:04,116
the road after Adam and Eve messed

1149
00:46:04,116 --> 00:46:08,599
it up, all these things were still dwindling

1150
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:11,833
in those genetics of man and those genetics

1151
00:46:11,849 --> 00:46:14,666
of the fruit and the trees.

1152
00:46:14,733 --> 00:46:18,083
And they said when they went in and got these clusters of grapes,

1153
00:46:18,083 --> 00:46:19,650
they were so big, they couldn't even hold them.

1154
00:46:19,699 --> 00:46:21,266
I mean, just amazing.

1155
00:46:21,333 --> 00:46:26,016
And you know, it's still different today because I used to work with a guy.

1156
00:46:26,066 --> 00:46:29,366
I used to work in our Canadian office and he was from Moran.

1157
00:46:29,433 --> 00:46:32,666
And he said, when I came over here and tasted

1158
00:46:32,666 --> 00:46:36,333
fruit, like strawberries, he said, they were just dull.

1159
00:46:36,449 --> 00:46:39,933
He said, when I ate those things at home, they were awesome.

1160
00:46:39,983 --> 00:46:40,949
Yeah.

1161
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,533
So there's a difference between even now there's still a difference.

1162
00:46:44,599 --> 00:46:47,183
Yeah, in the area that they're growing in.

1163
00:46:47,183 --> 00:46:47,849
Yeah, yeah.

1164
00:46:48,033 --> 00:46:50,966
Man, that'd be pretty awesome.

1165
00:46:51,033 --> 00:46:54,033
Could you could you imagine, though, we're talking

1166
00:46:54,033 --> 00:46:55,650
years removed.

1167
00:46:55,699 --> 00:46:59,066
I mean, it's after the flood removed when they go into the promised land.

1168
00:46:59,133 --> 00:47:01,233
I mean, this is this is way after the flood.

1169
00:47:01,283 --> 00:47:04,400
I mean, we're we're talking, you know, at least a few 1000 years removed

1170
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,333
here and they got grapes the size.

1171
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,733
I believe it said they were the size of a man's head or something like that.

1172
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,800
The description they give, like the bunches of grapes, it's taking like

1173
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,800
multiple people to carry a bunch of grapes.

1174
00:47:15,866 --> 00:47:17,183
One little bunch of them.

1175
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:18,733
If a grape was that big.

1176
00:47:18,866 --> 00:47:20,183
Can you imagine a watermelon?

1177
00:47:20,250 --> 00:47:22,166
A watermelon or a strawberry.

1178
00:47:22,233 --> 00:47:23,250
I said, yeah.

1179
00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:26,783
Apples are coming out like, I mean, you ate, you

1180
00:47:26,783 --> 00:47:28,216
hit one apple and it just...

1181
00:47:28,866 --> 00:47:30,033
It fed the whole family.

1182
00:47:30,816 --> 00:47:32,250
Yeah, everybody's good, you know?

1183
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:34,283
whole 12 people. and it sustainable.

1184
00:47:34,349 --> 00:47:35,783
Everything that they needed was right there.

1185
00:47:35,849 --> 00:47:36,566
Yeah.

1186
00:47:36,566 --> 00:47:39,566
And that's, and like you said, you've got, you've got

1187
00:47:39,566 --> 00:47:43,283
man, everybody goes back to the length of time that people were living back then.

1188
00:47:43,349 --> 00:47:44,250
That's why.

1189
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:47,300
And the reason, and this is the thing.

1190
00:47:47,366 --> 00:47:49,349
One of the interesting things that they study.

1191
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,816
And again, science studies the how, not

1192
00:47:52,833 --> 00:47:56,183
the why, the why is because God, the how, we

1193
00:47:56,183 --> 00:47:59,250
age because as ourselves reproduce, we have these

1194
00:47:59,250 --> 00:48:04,116
things called telomeres, and these telomeres have imperfect copying.

1195
00:48:04,166 --> 00:48:07,233
Now, it's very slow, but they slowly shorten

1196
00:48:07,233 --> 00:48:10,300
and they get shorter and shorter and shorter until eventually our

1197
00:48:10,300 --> 00:48:13,766
sales stop copying properly and we end up with cancer and things like that and we end up dying.

1198
00:48:14,766 --> 00:48:16,099
Imagine that not happening.

1199
00:48:16,166 --> 00:48:17,733
Your cells are just reproducing perfectly.

1200
00:48:17,783 --> 00:48:20,000
Exact copies every time they reproduce.

1201
00:48:20,366 --> 00:48:22,466
You're not aging at all.

1202
00:48:22,533 --> 00:48:25,716
And by the way, the same thing happens to fruit.

1203
00:48:25,766 --> 00:48:27,383
You want to go see the difference.

1204
00:48:27,449 --> 00:48:30,683
Go look at like if you watch as like, um, especially

1205
00:48:30,683 --> 00:48:33,750
any kind of vine fruit grows, uh, again, with the watermelon and

1206
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:36,750
stuff like that, when it gets to a certain size, if you leave it on the

1207
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:40,099
vine too much, they start getting those knotty lumps and stuff, that's literally all

1208
00:48:40,099 --> 00:48:41,966
that's the equivalent to a human cancer.

1209
00:48:42,033 --> 00:48:45,033
It's cells that are growing out of control because they're

1210
00:48:45,033 --> 00:48:47,016
not, they're not reproducing properly.

1211
00:48:47,066 --> 00:48:50,000
And they just start forming those knotty tumorous looking lumps.

1212
00:48:50,066 --> 00:48:51,983
That's why, is they are actually dying.

1213
00:48:52,099 --> 00:48:54,016
They are decaying right there on the vine.

1214
00:48:54,366 --> 00:48:55,533
And we do that too.

1215
00:48:55,583 --> 00:48:58,349
But back then, this is right after God created everything.

1216
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,716
It's everything's perfectly balanced.

1217
00:48:59,849 --> 00:49:02,616
There is nothing throwing it out of whack.

1218
00:49:02,666 --> 00:49:04,283
It's all exactly perfect.

1219
00:49:06,466 --> 00:49:09,266
It was designed to last and stay in that state.

1220
00:49:09,333 --> 00:49:11,016
And it took man to screw it up.

1221
00:49:11,066 --> 00:49:14,250
Yeah, I've also heard of people describe

1222
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:17,666
or speculate about that the oxygen levels were way

1223
00:49:17,666 --> 00:49:19,833
higher than that barometric pressure was different.

1224
00:49:19,883 --> 00:49:21,016
There's evidence that.

1225
00:49:21,083 --> 00:49:21,566
different things.

1226
00:49:21,633 --> 00:49:21,933
Yeah.

1227
00:49:21,983 --> 00:49:22,699
Yeah, yeah.

1228
00:49:22,766 --> 00:49:26,550
Everything was perfect the way it needed to be to sustain this just exactly.

1229
00:49:26,599 --> 00:49:30,199
It's also one of the reasons that a lot of the dating, the carbometric

1230
00:49:30,199 --> 00:49:33,266
dating and things like that, which we have things that aren't radiocarbon anymore, but we

1231
00:49:33,266 --> 00:49:36,333
have a lot of that stuff gets thrown off because it depends on the

1232
00:49:36,333 --> 00:49:39,383
levels of that that are in the atmosphere decaying

1233
00:49:39,383 --> 00:49:40,766
at the same rate they do now.

1234
00:49:40,833 --> 00:49:43,050
Well, if you have an increased level of all that stuff,

1235
00:49:43,099 --> 00:49:46,099
You can't judge the decay rates because it may have been

1236
00:49:46,099 --> 00:49:48,199
two, three, four, five, 50 times higher.

1237
00:49:48,266 --> 00:49:50,250
Yeah, carbon dating is so far off.

1238
00:49:50,366 --> 00:49:51,566
Yeah, carbon.

1239
00:49:51,633 --> 00:49:52,716
very sketchy.

1240
00:49:52,766 --> 00:49:56,900
You look into some of that stuff and they're like, they'll get this range of dates.

1241
00:49:57,500 --> 00:49:58,216
And they'll just pick one.

1242
00:49:58,283 --> 00:49:58,883
Right.

1243
00:49:58,949 --> 00:49:59,133
Yeah.

1244
00:49:59,183 --> 00:49:59,599
Oh, yeah.

1245
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:02,533
Well, that must have been, it's in the Jurassic period.

1246
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:03,566
It must have been this year.

1247
00:50:03,633 --> 00:50:06,816
Yeah, and especially with the carbon dating thing.

1248
00:50:06,866 --> 00:50:10,233
They, if you actually look, they've stopped using that at all because

1249
00:50:10,233 --> 00:50:12,033
it is so amazingly inaccurate.

1250
00:50:12,083 --> 00:50:15,383
Now they use the curate of certain atoms, which is a little bit more accurate.

1251
00:50:15,449 --> 00:50:18,216
Oddly enough, they can't go back very far away.

1252
00:50:18,266 --> 00:50:21,800
No, no, they can only go back about six, five, 6000 years.

1253
00:50:21,866 --> 00:50:23,366
Somewhere around.

1254
00:50:23,366 --> 00:50:25,883
Somewhere around 6 to 10 is the closest thing you get.

1255
00:50:25,949 --> 00:50:28,533
It's like, how in the world, wait a minute.

1256
00:50:29,116 --> 00:50:30,933
Why is it only accurate that far back?

1257
00:50:30,983 --> 00:50:32,550
And they're stretching it on the 10?

1258
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:34,216
Yeah, they're stretching it.

1259
00:50:34,283 --> 00:50:35,366
Yeah, absolutely.

1260
00:50:35,433 --> 00:50:35,966
Absolutely.

1261
00:50:36,666 --> 00:50:39,983
But it's hilarious to me that they will talk about that openly

1262
00:50:39,983 --> 00:50:43,099
and they're like, yeah, well, this is only accurate to it, but we believe 1000000000s of years.

1263
00:50:43,099 --> 00:50:46,216
And I'm like, then you, and then you got these guys, especially

1264
00:50:46,233 --> 00:50:49,650
if you get into these, if you look at these debates

1265
00:50:49,650 --> 00:50:52,650
on, you know, social media and stuff and you, I

1266
00:50:52,650 --> 00:50:56,316
mean, they actually think we are idiot morons.

1267
00:50:56,366 --> 00:50:59,733
because we don't believe that Earth is a 1000000 to 10000 years old.

1268
00:50:59,783 --> 00:51:02,783
I mean, and again, it's just like

1269
00:51:02,783 --> 00:51:05,900
y'all were talking about earlier, they,

1270
00:51:05,900 --> 00:51:08,900
those, these people have not studied this for themselves, they're just

1271
00:51:08,900 --> 00:51:10,400
believing somebody else's report.

1272
00:51:10,466 --> 00:51:11,483
Yeah, yeah.

1273
00:51:11,550 --> 00:51:14,016
Somebody else is, what is a hypothesis?

1274
00:51:14,066 --> 00:51:16,533
It's just an educated guess, right?

1275
00:51:16,583 --> 00:51:17,250
I mean, it is.

1276
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:20,533
It's an educated guest that can be proven wrong at any time.

1277
00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:21,916
We're going on faith.

1278
00:51:21,983 --> 00:51:22,766
Yep, absolutely.

1279
00:51:22,833 --> 00:51:25,300
And hey, that's I started to say that's the thing.

1280
00:51:25,349 --> 00:51:28,400
They are taking a dive on faith, knowing that

1281
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,133
at any minute, their faith can be proven wrong.

1282
00:51:30,199 --> 00:51:33,433
What it is over and over, I mean, that's the nature of science, right?

1283
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:34,816
It advances and changes.

1284
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:36,500
It changes, it morphs.

1285
00:51:37,050 --> 00:51:37,833
find out more stuff.

1286
00:51:37,883 --> 00:51:40,216
It's not hard set in stone stuff.

1287
00:51:40,283 --> 00:51:42,800
See, and that's the other thing, by the way.

1288
00:51:42,866 --> 00:51:44,483
I'm going, sorry.

1289
00:51:44,550 --> 00:51:47,666
I get on my high horse on that because it bothers me so bad that people get

1290
00:51:47,666 --> 00:51:50,900
so caught up on these ideas that, well, the science says the science

1291
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:54,133
says, science says, and it's like, if science says, that

1292
00:51:54,150 --> 00:51:55,716
means it's subject to change.

1293
00:51:55,766 --> 00:51:57,150
And here's the thing.

1294
00:51:57,199 --> 00:51:58,699
When did the science say that?

1295
00:51:58,766 --> 00:52:01,949
If you're quoting science to me that's 50 or 60 years old,

1296
00:52:01,949 --> 00:52:04,416
you're probably already out of date, guys.

1297
00:52:04,466 --> 00:52:07,583
And 90% of

1298
00:52:07,583 --> 00:52:11,666
the people that quote this stuff and talk about the stuff and try to argue with creationists on the beginning?

1299
00:52:12,466 --> 00:52:15,199
They're literally quoting science from sometimes a 100 years ago.

1300
00:52:15,266 --> 00:52:18,500
And I'm like, this is stuff that's already been disproven

1301
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:19,883
by mainstream scientists.

1302
00:52:19,949 --> 00:52:23,016
They've thrown it away and said, this is a terrible idea of how this happened.

1303
00:52:23,066 --> 00:52:26,183
And it's like, instead of just saying, hey, look, we don't know.

1304
00:52:26,250 --> 00:52:29,316
We just, we don't want to believe what you believe and we just don't know.

1305
00:52:29,366 --> 00:52:30,750
That's an, you know what?

1306
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,916
If people would be like that with me as a Christian and just say, look,

1307
00:52:33,933 --> 00:52:37,166
I don't believe what you believe, and I don't know what I believe,

1308
00:52:37,166 --> 00:52:38,433
and I don't know why I should believe it.

1309
00:52:38,483 --> 00:52:39,866
I don't know where it comes from.

1310
00:52:39,933 --> 00:52:42,866
I will accept that because at least you're being honest with me.

1311
00:52:42,933 --> 00:52:43,716
Yeah.

1312
00:52:43,716 --> 00:52:44,666
And with yourself.

1313
00:52:44,733 --> 00:52:45,683
Yeah, yeah.

1314
00:52:45,683 --> 00:52:46,166
That's right.

1315
00:52:47,016 --> 00:52:47,733
Sorry.

1316
00:52:48,383 --> 00:52:51,016
Ooh, that just that always fires me up right there.

1317
00:52:51,083 --> 00:52:52,099
Uh, 14?

1318
00:52:52,166 --> 00:52:52,533
14.

1319
00:52:52,699 --> 00:52:54,433
Yeah, let's you go through 16.

1320
00:52:54,633 --> 00:52:55,349
Is that okay?

1321
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:56,966
As far as you want to, brother.

1322
00:52:57,033 --> 00:53:00,033
Um, and God said, let there be

1323
00:53:00,033 --> 00:53:03,383
lights in the affirmative of the heaven to divide the day from the night and

1324
00:53:03,383 --> 00:53:06,683
let them be for signs and for seasons

1325
00:53:06,683 --> 00:53:08,783
and for days and for years.

1326
00:53:08,849 --> 00:53:12,266
And let me emphasize and

1327
00:53:12,266 --> 00:53:15,500
let them be for light in the firm of

1328
00:53:15,500 --> 00:53:18,566
the heavens to give light upon the earth, and it was so,

1329
00:53:18,566 --> 00:53:20,849
and God made 2 great lights.

1330
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:24,016
The greater light to rule the day and the lesser to

1331
00:53:24,033 --> 00:53:27,033
the rule the night, he made the stars also.

1332
00:53:27,716 --> 00:53:29,966
So, uh, here we are.

1333
00:53:30,033 --> 00:53:30,400
Right?

1334
00:53:30,449 --> 00:53:32,133
Here's the sun, the moon.

1335
00:53:32,183 --> 00:53:35,716
Time as we know it again,

1336
00:53:35,733 --> 00:53:38,433
one day, 24 hours.

1337
00:53:40,266 --> 00:53:41,433
I mean, it's right here.

1338
00:53:41,483 --> 00:53:43,283
It gave us a way to measure it.

1339
00:53:43,349 --> 00:53:43,883
Yeah, yeah.

1340
00:53:43,949 --> 00:53:45,266
It's in plain old English, right?

1341
00:53:45,333 --> 00:53:46,533
Yeah, yeah.

1342
00:53:46,583 --> 00:53:47,716
Yeah, it gave us way to measure it.

1343
00:53:47,783 --> 00:53:50,783
I think with interest, a really interesting thing

1344
00:53:50,783 --> 00:53:53,116
in that is the 1st thing he lists there is signs.

1345
00:53:53,183 --> 00:53:54,616
signs.

1346
00:53:54,683 --> 00:53:58,283
And he ends up later on in, in, where is it?

1347
00:53:58,283 --> 00:53:59,900
Deuteronomy, I guess, these feasts.

1348
00:54:01,166 --> 00:54:02,433
Depend on the time of the year.

1349
00:54:02,483 --> 00:54:03,800
There's Passover.

1350
00:54:03,866 --> 00:54:07,883
There's all these different pieces that are dependent on the lunar calendar.

1351
00:54:08,483 --> 00:54:11,116
When do you spot the new moon?

1352
00:54:11,183 --> 00:54:12,500
Okay, it's feast of trumpets.

1353
00:54:12,566 --> 00:54:13,166
Right.

1354
00:54:13,166 --> 00:54:16,233
And all these things depend on these signs that come out of

1355
00:54:16,233 --> 00:54:20,016
out of this 1st day, or 4th day of, 5th day of Croatia.

1356
00:54:20,066 --> 00:54:21,083
4th day, 4th day.

1357
00:54:22,066 --> 00:54:25,099
And so and there we go back to that, what we were saying earlier about

1358
00:54:25,099 --> 00:54:27,433
the plants when I was saying that because they're there.

1359
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:29,483
You've got the light of God providing light.

1360
00:54:29,550 --> 00:54:32,599
And now the thing that actually provides the light that the

1361
00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:34,816
plant needs was just created the next day.

1362
00:54:34,883 --> 00:54:35,900
Yeah, yeah.

1363
00:54:35,966 --> 00:54:37,166
It's 24 hours.

1364
00:54:37,233 --> 00:54:37,949
All right?

1365
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,016
Plants can, guess what?

1366
00:54:39,083 --> 00:54:41,716
If you take a plant and shut it in a closet for 24 hours, it's going to be fine.

1367
00:54:41,783 --> 00:54:43,216
You stick it back outside after one.

1368
00:54:43,283 --> 00:54:46,466
My plans are tonight will be fine until tomorrow when

1369
00:54:46,466 --> 00:54:47,550
the sun.

1370
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:47,783
Yeah.

1371
00:54:47,849 --> 00:54:50,916
Oh, well, if you go down to the store and you buy them and you stick them in your house in a

1372
00:54:50,916 --> 00:54:54,800
closet where no light can get to it for just a day, they're fine the next day.

1373
00:54:54,866 --> 00:54:56,483
One day they're going to be fine.

1374
00:54:56,550 --> 00:54:57,083
That's right.

1375
00:54:57,516 --> 00:54:59,066
A 1000 years?

1376
00:54:59,133 --> 00:55:01,166
I hate to tell you those plants are not going to be in good shape.

1377
00:55:01,233 --> 00:55:03,516
Now, could God have maintained it for that time?

1378
00:55:03,566 --> 00:55:04,099
Yeah, sure.

1379
00:55:04,233 --> 00:55:07,166
I could have, but why would he bother and then tell us that it was a day?

1380
00:55:07,233 --> 00:55:08,433
But again, that doesn't make sense.

1381
00:55:08,483 --> 00:55:10,400
what he created to sustain it, right?

1382
00:55:10,466 --> 00:55:14,250
And he showed us and he showed us how he was planning to track the time here, too.

1383
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:17,233
That also goes on to prove that it was only a single day.

1384
00:55:17,366 --> 00:55:20,900
And everything, again, this is all in order.

1385
00:55:21,033 --> 00:55:24,099
I mean, it's just to sit here and look

1386
00:55:24,099 --> 00:55:27,150
at this and the progression of it is

1387
00:55:27,150 --> 00:55:30,150
amazing because he knew what had to be

1388
00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:33,266
made first, what had to be made 2nd, what had to be made 3rd, what had

1389
00:55:33,266 --> 00:55:36,266
to be made 4th and 5th until he could get to

1390
00:55:36,266 --> 00:55:39,383
us and then the animals so that everything

1391
00:55:39,383 --> 00:55:40,650
could be sustained.

1392
00:55:40,699 --> 00:55:43,766
Again, it's a, it's, it, so

1393
00:55:43,766 --> 00:55:46,283
people build these terrariums nowadays.

1394
00:55:46,349 --> 00:55:49,416
Have you ever actually watched how one of those gets developed and set up?

1395
00:55:49,466 --> 00:55:52,533
It is a when they're built properly, they're self-sustaining and they

1396
00:55:52,533 --> 00:55:55,583
will last for a long time with 0 input

1397
00:55:55,583 --> 00:55:57,500
if they're done properly.

1398
00:55:57,566 --> 00:56:00,566
And you have to add the right kind of bacteria and the right kind

1399
00:56:00,566 --> 00:56:03,633
of funguses and the right kind of stuff in there to eat the bacteria and

1400
00:56:03,633 --> 00:56:06,983
the bacteria eats the fungus and the fungus produces the right spores that can,

1401
00:56:06,983 --> 00:56:08,716
and it's really difficult.

1402
00:56:08,783 --> 00:56:11,783
But if you ever get it set up, you can literally put a cap on that sucker, seal it

1403
00:56:11,783 --> 00:56:12,800
and never unseal it.

1404
00:56:12,866 --> 00:56:15,866
That thing will last like we found them that have lasted like a 100 years.

1405
00:56:15,933 --> 00:56:18,033
I mean, they will last a long time.

1406
00:56:18,083 --> 00:56:19,699
That's basically what God did.

1407
00:56:19,766 --> 00:56:22,883
He made a little tiny terrarium because we're tiny compared to him.

1408
00:56:24,316 --> 00:56:26,849
He put us in a little terrarium to see what we'd do.

1409
00:56:28,066 --> 00:56:31,283
But does anybody else think that verse 16 ends with what I think

1410
00:56:31,283 --> 00:56:34,466
is one of the funniest statements in this where

1411
00:56:34,466 --> 00:56:36,033
it's like, oh, yeah, he made the stars also.

1412
00:56:36,083 --> 00:56:37,650
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1413
00:56:37,866 --> 00:56:38,183
Yeah.

1414
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:40,216
Oh, yeah.

1415
00:56:40,283 --> 00:56:42,916
You'll find out in about 6000 years, how many there are?

1416
00:56:42,983 --> 00:56:44,599
Yeah, there's, yeah, some idea.

1417
00:56:44,666 --> 00:56:47,433
Now, that you might be riding the billions, right?

1418
00:56:47,483 --> 00:56:47,783
Yeah.

1419
00:56:47,849 --> 00:56:49,416
Oh, that's crazy.

1420
00:56:49,466 --> 00:56:52,833
I mean, have you seen any of the pictures of that new James T. Webb Space Telescope?

1421
00:56:52,883 --> 00:56:54,983
It's just, it's mind blowing.

1422
00:56:55,050 --> 00:56:56,966
It's mind blowing how far this thing can see.

1423
00:56:57,033 --> 00:57:00,516
I mean, it's like every star you see in the sky is a galaxy containing 1000000000s

1424
00:57:00,516 --> 00:57:04,033
of stars and it's like and the sky is full of these things.

1425
00:57:04,099 --> 00:57:06,133
We can't still can't see the end.

1426
00:57:06,766 --> 00:57:09,800
How big of an explosion would

1427
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,683
it have taken to blow things out there that far?

1428
00:57:12,750 --> 00:57:13,766
amazing.

1429
00:57:13,833 --> 00:57:16,900
You know, I mean, if you if you want to look at that big

1430
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:20,066
bang theory and you think that, I mean, there

1431
00:57:20,066 --> 00:57:23,066
couldn't have been of, there's not enough nuclear

1432
00:57:23,066 --> 00:57:26,250
power to blow things out as far as what space

1433
00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:27,266
is, you know?

1434
00:57:27,333 --> 00:57:30,150
And this infinitely small speck of dust.

1435
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:30,866
Yeah.

1436
00:57:30,866 --> 00:57:31,349
Yeah.

1437
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:32,716
It still ain't small enough, right?

1438
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:33,616
Because there's still something.

1439
00:57:33,683 --> 00:57:34,816
Right, right.

1440
00:57:36,066 --> 00:57:38,066
What lit the fuse, right?

1441
00:57:38,133 --> 00:57:38,849
I mean, what?

1442
00:57:38,849 --> 00:57:39,750
Yeah, yeah.

1443
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:40,766
How did that all work?

1444
00:57:40,833 --> 00:57:44,433
And why was this thing not still just, and they thought it was still expanding,

1445
00:57:44,433 --> 00:57:45,516
but now they're saying maybe it's not.

1446
00:57:45,566 --> 00:57:46,166
Yeah.

1447
00:57:46,166 --> 00:57:48,150
You know, they just don't know.

1448
00:57:48,199 --> 00:57:48,616
They don't know.

1449
00:57:48,633 --> 00:57:49,466
They're grasping a straw.

1450
00:57:49,583 --> 00:57:50,250
Because it's too big.

1451
00:57:51,066 --> 00:57:51,500
Yeah.

1452
00:57:51,566 --> 00:57:52,099
too big.

1453
00:57:52,233 --> 00:57:55,466
And, oh man, you talk about the James Webb telescope.

1454
00:57:55,533 --> 00:57:58,900
Did you guys see where Voyager, not long ago?

1455
00:57:58,949 --> 00:58:00,033
You know, it was sent out.

1456
00:58:00,083 --> 00:58:02,366
was supposed to be the 1st of many, and then we only did one.

1457
00:58:02,366 --> 00:58:05,366
Maybe two, but the other one never even made it

1458
00:58:05,366 --> 00:58:08,783
outside the solar system, but this one actually crossed that line between where

1459
00:58:08,783 --> 00:58:12,800
our son's solar winds stopped

1460
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,483
things from coming into the solar system.

1461
00:58:14,550 --> 00:58:15,933
It actually made it through that barrier.

1462
00:58:17,016 --> 00:58:20,133
And while it was out there, it ran across something absolutely fascinating.

1463
00:58:20,183 --> 00:58:24,316
There are random patches of empty space

1464
00:58:24,316 --> 00:58:28,566
that are 1000s of degrees hot

1465
00:58:28,566 --> 00:58:32,133
from the particles that are coming in there.

1466
00:58:32,916 --> 00:58:35,300
And without our sun, they'd be slamming into us.

1467
00:58:35,433 --> 00:58:38,483
And the sun literally stops them

1468
00:58:38,483 --> 00:58:40,766
from entering our solar system, the solar wind.

1469
00:58:40,833 --> 00:58:45,033
And this is true of any sources, but anywhere where there's a star, there's a barrier.

1470
00:58:45,966 --> 00:58:49,050
You mean to tell me that you think for a 1000

1471
00:58:49,050 --> 00:58:52,349
years, that crap was just slamming into all the plants on the earth and

1472
00:58:52,349 --> 00:58:53,433
they were getting burned up.

1473
00:58:53,483 --> 00:58:56,783
You mean to tell me that it took 1000000000s of years of the earth getting slammed

1474
00:58:56,783 --> 00:59:00,916
with that stuff without a star to protect it?

1475
00:59:01,866 --> 00:59:04,883
I mean, you mean to tell me that this stuff just happened to form

1476
00:59:04,883 --> 00:59:07,949
that somehow, somehow, the spinning

1477
00:59:07,949 --> 00:59:10,949
of this managed to, instead of do what spinning

1478
00:59:10,949 --> 00:59:13,166
normally does where it keeps things evenly spread out.

1479
00:59:13,233 --> 00:59:15,400
It managed to cause things to clump up randomly.

1480
00:59:15,449 --> 00:59:16,050
Really?

1481
00:59:16,099 --> 00:59:17,716
That's what we're going to go with.

1482
00:59:17,783 --> 00:59:20,849
The centrifugal force of the spinning of the

1483
00:59:20,849 --> 00:59:24,266
galaxy and the stars and the solar system and the universe

1484
00:59:24,266 --> 00:59:28,233
in general somehow led to an uneven distribution of things.

1485
00:59:28,283 --> 00:59:30,616
Let me tell you, go grab you a bottle.

1486
00:59:30,750 --> 00:59:34,833
Put you some stuff in it and take it and sling it around real good and watch what happens.

1487
00:59:34,883 --> 00:59:37,883
It gets real evenly distributed all around that

1488
00:59:37,883 --> 00:59:39,750
room when you poke a hole in it and keep slinging it.

1489
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,800
And you're saying that that somehow didn't

1490
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,166
happen in this case, and we ended up with clumps everywhere that

1491
00:59:46,166 --> 00:59:49,233
are so perfectly protected that we would literally be

1492
00:59:49,233 --> 00:59:52,233
blasted into oblivion without the sun being

1493
00:59:52,233 --> 00:59:55,349
the exact distance it is from us, and us the exact distance from

1494
00:59:55,349 --> 00:59:58,650
it, and at the exact size, giving off the exact amount of

1495
00:59:58,650 --> 01:00:00,633
heat and the exact amount of solar radiation.

1496
01:00:01,416 --> 01:00:02,433
It's too perfect.

1497
01:00:02,483 --> 01:00:03,266
It's clockwork.

1498
01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:06,400
And the intricate balances and all this stuff is amazing too.

1499
01:00:06,449 --> 01:00:08,916
The planets, some of them spend one way.

1500
01:00:08,966 --> 01:00:09,983
Some of them spend the...

1501
01:00:10,050 --> 01:00:11,133
They're all in this perfect dance.

1502
01:00:11,183 --> 01:00:12,683
Yeah, perfectly.

1503
01:00:12,750 --> 01:00:15,216
They don't all spend on this perfect concentric circle, right?

1504
01:00:15,266 --> 01:00:18,266
But they got different elliptical kind of orbits and

1505
01:00:18,266 --> 01:00:20,300
they're different levels all around the sun.

1506
01:00:20,366 --> 01:00:23,433
And one of the things I think it's amazing too,

1507
01:00:23,433 --> 01:00:26,500
that if you look at the distance that

1508
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:29,550
the moon is actually increasing its distance away

1509
01:00:29,550 --> 01:00:30,750
from the earth every year.

1510
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,316
It's getting further and further away from the earth.

1511
01:00:33,383 --> 01:00:36,983
And if you take this thing back 1000000s of years, it's part of the earth.

1512
01:00:37,050 --> 01:00:38,666
It's like in the middle of the earth.

1513
01:00:38,733 --> 01:00:40,166
It's not possible.

1514
01:00:40,233 --> 01:00:41,199
Yeah, yeah.

1515
01:00:41,250 --> 01:00:44,550
Where's the dent from where that thing separated?

1516
01:00:44,599 --> 01:00:45,983
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1517
01:00:46,050 --> 01:00:47,733
And why are they all around?

1518
01:00:47,783 --> 01:00:48,566
Right.

1519
01:00:49,366 --> 01:00:49,650
Yeah.

1520
01:00:49,699 --> 01:00:50,716
That's what I always wanted.

1521
01:00:50,783 --> 01:00:51,566
Yeah, yeah.

1522
01:00:51,633 --> 01:00:53,550
Everything just blew up and it's round.

1523
01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:56,533
Hey, by the way, with the whole idea of it, just exploding.

1524
01:00:56,599 --> 01:00:57,383
you know, what it would look like?

1525
01:00:58,116 --> 01:01:00,266
You know, remember how they used to think that we were flat?

1526
01:01:00,333 --> 01:01:01,050
Yeah.

1527
01:01:01,050 --> 01:01:02,550
It'd be flat.

1528
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:04,166
But instead they're round.

1529
01:01:04,233 --> 01:01:04,766
sphere.

1530
01:01:04,833 --> 01:01:06,400
And there's there's something else at science.

1531
01:01:06,449 --> 01:01:11,066
One of the 1st things my physics teacher told me in school was gravity

1532
01:01:11,066 --> 01:01:14,900
is a constant and we can't define it.

1533
01:01:18,466 --> 01:01:19,833
Charge.

1534
01:01:19,883 --> 01:01:21,150
is another constant.

1535
01:01:21,199 --> 01:01:21,866
Yeah.

1536
01:01:21,933 --> 01:01:23,016
We can't define it.

1537
01:01:23,133 --> 01:01:23,733
Yeah.

1538
01:01:24,916 --> 01:01:26,900
Who holds all things together?

1539
01:01:26,966 --> 01:01:27,333
Amen.

1540
01:01:27,383 --> 01:01:27,866
Yes.

1541
01:01:27,933 --> 01:01:28,466
Amen.

1542
01:01:28,533 --> 01:01:29,250
Amen.

1543
01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:29,716
Amen.

1544
01:01:29,783 --> 01:01:30,866
You can't explain it.

1545
01:01:30,933 --> 01:01:31,416
Absolutely.

1546
01:01:31,466 --> 01:01:33,333
But you know, you got to have faith in it.

1547
01:01:33,383 --> 01:01:34,283
Yeah.

1548
01:01:34,283 --> 01:01:35,666
Absolutely.

1549
01:01:37,116 --> 01:01:37,883
I love that.

1550
01:01:37,949 --> 01:01:40,833
Gravity is a constant, except now we know it's kind of not.

1551
01:01:42,716 --> 01:01:45,083
We just don't know what it's how it works.

1552
01:01:45,150 --> 01:01:46,716
No clue.

1553
01:01:46,766 --> 01:01:48,150
We thought we knew.

1554
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:51,866
We thought we knew, but we find out that it doesn't work the way we thought it did.

1555
01:01:51,933 --> 01:01:54,750
Gravity's not time isn't constant.

1556
01:01:54,866 --> 01:01:56,849
Turns out the speed of light's not constant.

1557
01:01:58,166 --> 01:02:01,050
I'm like, wait a minute, there's no constants anywhere in the universe.

1558
01:02:01,166 --> 01:02:02,783
But it's but it's certain science.

1559
01:02:02,849 --> 01:02:03,566
It set in stone, right?

1560
01:02:03,633 --> 01:02:04,300
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1561
01:02:04,349 --> 01:02:04,716
Yeah.

1562
01:02:05,766 --> 01:02:06,150
Yeah.

1563
01:02:06,150 --> 01:02:07,416
Believe the science.

1564
01:02:07,466 --> 01:02:08,250
All right, verse 17.

1565
01:02:08,366 --> 01:02:11,483
God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to

1566
01:02:11,483 --> 01:02:14,783
give light on the earth and to govern the day and the night and to separate

1567
01:02:14,783 --> 01:02:17,300
the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good.

1568
01:02:17,916 --> 01:02:20,433
There was evening and there was morning of 4th day.

1569
01:02:22,566 --> 01:02:24,633
They placed them, placed them.

1570
01:02:24,683 --> 01:02:24,983
He did.

1571
01:02:25,966 --> 01:02:28,766
Have you noticed that God's still separating a lot from darkness?

1572
01:02:29,266 --> 01:02:29,783
Yeah.

1573
01:02:30,416 --> 01:02:31,233
That's what he does.

1574
01:02:32,616 --> 01:02:34,699
I mean, he does it in our lives, doesn't he?

1575
01:02:34,766 --> 01:02:34,949
Yeah.

1576
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,599
He wants to remove

1577
01:02:38,599 --> 01:02:40,166
us from darkness, right?

1578
01:02:40,233 --> 01:02:42,633
and bring us into the light.

1579
01:02:42,683 --> 01:02:43,816
That's what he does with everything.

1580
01:02:43,883 --> 01:02:44,599
Yeah.

1581
01:02:44,666 --> 01:02:48,333
And darkness is the absence of something.

1582
01:02:48,383 --> 01:02:49,166
It is.

1583
01:02:49,233 --> 01:02:51,400
Darkness can't shine into the light.

1584
01:02:51,449 --> 01:02:51,816
That's right

1585
01:02:51,983 --> 01:02:52,466
That's right.

1586
01:02:52,866 --> 01:02:53,300
Amen.

1587
01:02:53,366 --> 01:02:53,849
Amen.

1588
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:58,333
And it's a lot I like to think of it as in

1589
01:02:58,349 --> 01:03:01,416
terms of good and evil, that evil's not a created thing.

1590
01:03:01,466 --> 01:03:04,099
Yeah, it's an absence of something.

1591
01:03:04,166 --> 01:03:04,766
Yes.

1592
01:03:04,766 --> 01:03:07,766
Just like dark is an absence of light, just like

1593
01:03:07,766 --> 01:03:09,750
cold is an absence of energy.

1594
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:10,766
Yeah.

1595
01:03:12,016 --> 01:03:13,166
It's an absence of good.

1596
01:03:13,233 --> 01:03:15,750
But a lot of people want to throw up this thing.

1597
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,300
why did God create evil?

1598
01:03:17,366 --> 01:03:19,099
He didn't create evil.

1599
01:03:19,166 --> 01:03:19,400
No.

1600
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:19,933
Right.

1601
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,266
It's an absence of goodness.

1602
01:03:21,383 --> 01:03:22,050
right.

1603
01:03:22,099 --> 01:03:22,816
That's right.

1604
01:03:23,616 --> 01:03:26,783
And you think, how did the absence of goodness,

1605
01:03:26,783 --> 01:03:28,216
how did it take place?

1606
01:03:28,283 --> 01:03:30,683
It took place through sin, right?

1607
01:03:30,750 --> 01:03:33,750
Because God could not be a part of it anymore?

1608
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,800
And so when Adam and

1609
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,416
Eve sin, uh, they, that

1610
01:03:40,416 --> 01:03:43,699
in our lives is speaking spiritually, um,

1611
01:03:43,699 --> 01:03:48,266
darkness and light were separated, right?

1612
01:03:48,333 --> 01:03:51,983
And goodness was removed, which

1613
01:03:51,983 --> 01:03:53,366
left darkness, right?

1614
01:03:53,433 --> 01:03:55,900
Darkness wasn't there before goodness was removed.

1615
01:03:55,949 --> 01:03:58,233
And but here it is today.

1616
01:03:58,283 --> 01:03:59,966
And what's Jesus doing?

1617
01:04:00,033 --> 01:04:01,349
He's bringing light back to the darkness.

1618
01:04:01,699 --> 01:04:04,033
In him is no darkness at all.

1619
01:04:04,099 --> 01:04:04,699
That's right.

1620
01:04:04,766 --> 01:04:05,066
Amen.

1621
01:04:05,133 --> 01:04:05,966
Amen.

1622
01:04:06,033 --> 01:04:08,366
He's lighting up those dark places.

1623
01:04:08,433 --> 01:04:10,416
He's bridging the gap between us and God.

1624
01:04:10,466 --> 01:04:12,449
He's bringing our relationship back to him.

1625
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:16,033
The relationship that was broken has now been fixed through him.

1626
01:04:16,099 --> 01:04:19,166
It's been, uh, it's been revived through him.

1627
01:04:19,233 --> 01:04:23,066
It's been brought to life through him, and he's just, that's what he's done for us.

1628
01:04:23,133 --> 01:04:23,916
Yeah.

1629
01:04:24,766 --> 01:04:26,366
That's a business he's in, isn't it?

1630
01:04:26,483 --> 01:04:27,016
It is brother.

1631
01:04:27,083 --> 01:04:27,866
It is.

1632
01:04:27,933 --> 01:04:28,466
It is.

1633
01:04:28,533 --> 01:04:29,616
Giver of life.

1634
01:04:29,666 --> 01:04:30,199
Amen.

1635
01:04:30,266 --> 01:04:30,750
Amen.

1636
01:04:33,266 --> 01:04:34,349
How far you want me to go?

1637
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,533
Ah, I've got 20 through 23, but okay.

1638
01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:39,616
Sounds good to me.

1639
01:04:39,683 --> 01:04:42,866
And God said, let the waters bring forth

1640
01:04:42,866 --> 01:04:46,099
abundantly the moving creature that

1641
01:04:46,099 --> 01:04:49,283
hath life and foul that may fly above

1642
01:04:49,283 --> 01:04:51,683
the earth in the open firm of the heaven.

1643
01:04:51,750 --> 01:04:54,866
And God created great whales, and every

1644
01:04:54,866 --> 01:04:57,866
living creature that moveth, which

1645
01:04:57,866 --> 01:05:01,349
the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind,

1646
01:05:01,349 --> 01:05:04,533
and every winged fowl after his kind,

1647
01:05:04,533 --> 01:05:06,400
and God saw that it was good.

1648
01:05:08,666 --> 01:05:09,800
Oh, the next two.

1649
01:05:09,866 --> 01:05:10,233
Okay.

1650
01:05:10,283 --> 01:05:13,283
And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful and

1651
01:05:13,283 --> 01:05:16,283
multiply, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the

1652
01:05:16,283 --> 01:05:19,283
fowl multiply in the earth, and the evening and

1653
01:05:19,283 --> 01:05:20,599
the morning were the 5th day.

1654
01:05:20,966 --> 01:05:23,000
Today is the 1st time I've seen this, brother.

1655
01:05:23,066 --> 01:05:24,150
In verse 22.

1656
01:05:25,466 --> 01:05:27,150
God bless the birds and the fish.

1657
01:05:27,199 --> 01:05:27,983
Yeah.

1658
01:05:28,050 --> 01:05:30,216
He didn't bless anything else.

1659
01:05:30,266 --> 01:05:31,233
Nope.

1660
01:05:31,283 --> 01:05:32,716
He blessed the birds and the fish.

1661
01:05:32,783 --> 01:05:33,566
Yeah, yeah.

1662
01:05:34,216 --> 01:05:34,650
Yeah.

1663
01:05:34,650 --> 01:05:35,483
Wonder why?

1664
01:05:35,550 --> 01:05:36,150
Amen.

1665
01:05:36,199 --> 01:05:37,333
Fish is pretty good.

1666
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,000
I like fish.

1667
01:05:38,066 --> 01:05:38,433
It is.

1668
01:05:38,483 --> 01:05:39,199
I enjoy it.

1669
01:05:39,266 --> 01:05:39,683
Yeah.

1670
01:05:40,616 --> 01:05:43,466
But I just, I just, wow.

1671
01:05:43,533 --> 01:05:46,833
What did he what and what does he later tell people we can eat?

1672
01:05:46,949 --> 01:05:48,150
Fish.

1673
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:48,800
What does he eat?

1674
01:05:48,933 --> 01:05:51,216
I mean, you know, what's he cooking when he comes back?

1675
01:05:51,266 --> 01:05:54,500
after to make the disciples, right?

1676
01:05:54,566 --> 01:05:56,666
He thought they were making breakfast with fish.

1677
01:05:56,733 --> 01:05:57,633
Yeah.

1678
01:05:57,683 --> 01:05:59,966
They made some believers out of fish and nets, dude.

1679
01:06:00,033 --> 01:06:01,416
I mean, yeah, what were those guys doing?

1680
01:06:01,466 --> 01:06:02,666
They're fishers of men, right?

1681
01:06:02,733 --> 01:06:05,433
I mean, everything has to do with water.

1682
01:06:05,483 --> 01:06:08,483
I don't I don't know what what's

1683
01:06:08,483 --> 01:06:10,766
the connection with God and water.

1684
01:06:10,833 --> 01:06:14,250
I really don't know and I can't explain that, but there is a huge connection

1685
01:06:14,250 --> 01:06:17,300
with him and who he is and what that's

1686
01:06:17,300 --> 01:06:18,916
about, especially what we were talking about.

1687
01:06:18,983 --> 01:06:20,550
There's water below, there's water above.

1688
01:06:21,216 --> 01:06:24,566
And it's just, it's such a sustainer.

1689
01:06:24,566 --> 01:06:26,183
And, uh, cleansing too.

1690
01:06:26,250 --> 01:06:27,150
cleansing, yeah.

1691
01:06:27,199 --> 01:06:28,400
And there was water there in the void.

1692
01:06:28,466 --> 01:06:28,883
Yeah.

1693
01:06:28,883 --> 01:06:32,000
It counted it as nothing, but it said the spirit moved

1694
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,083
upon the face of the waters.

1695
01:06:33,150 --> 01:06:36,150
So there was water there and there's something special about water.

1696
01:06:36,199 --> 01:06:36,983
Yeah.

1697
01:06:37,050 --> 01:06:38,066
Yeah, absolutely.

1698
01:06:38,133 --> 01:06:38,916
It's incredible.

1699
01:06:38,966 --> 01:06:40,050
We love it.

1700
01:06:40,099 --> 01:06:43,166
I mean, we love, we love to, there's a lot of people,

1701
01:06:43,166 --> 01:06:46,233
so I don't, I love, I love, water's the only thing

1702
01:06:46,233 --> 01:06:47,666
that'll quench my thirst on a hot day.

1703
01:06:47,733 --> 01:06:48,216
Yes.

1704
01:06:48,216 --> 01:06:51,316
And even if you don't, even if you're drinking something else, the base of it is water.

1705
01:06:51,383 --> 01:06:51,983
That's right.

1706
01:06:51,983 --> 01:06:53,550
You know, it's Gatorade, isn't it?

1707
01:06:53,599 --> 01:06:53,783
is.

1708
01:06:53,849 --> 01:06:54,150
right.

1709
01:06:54,199 --> 01:06:54,983
It really is.

1710
01:06:55,050 --> 01:06:56,366
It replenish.

1711
01:06:56,366 --> 01:07:00,266
us, again, it washes us, clean.

1712
01:07:00,333 --> 01:07:03,033
Um, it's, uh, it sustains us.

1713
01:07:03,083 --> 01:07:06,199
Our body, our body makeup is how

1714
01:07:06,199 --> 01:07:07,283
much water are we?

1715
01:07:07,349 --> 01:07:09,816
We're like 70%?

1716
01:07:09,866 --> 01:07:10,833
Yeah, yeah.

1717
01:07:10,883 --> 01:07:12,449
Something like that.

1718
01:07:12,449 --> 01:07:12,983
That's huge.

1719
01:07:13,099 --> 01:07:13,466
Yeah.

1720
01:07:13,533 --> 01:07:15,449
Or is that, well, the earth is 70.

1721
01:07:15,633 --> 01:07:16,116
I can't remember what.

1722
01:07:16,233 --> 01:07:17,916
Yeah, it's something, but it's still a massive amount.

1723
01:07:17,966 --> 01:07:19,050
Yeah, it's a huge amount.

1724
01:07:19,650 --> 01:07:22,949
Engineers refer to a lot of times humans

1725
01:07:22,949 --> 01:07:24,816
as large bags of mostly water.

1726
01:07:26,216 --> 01:07:29,433
Because the whole point of cars with safety belts is you're

1727
01:07:29,433 --> 01:07:32,483
trying to protect a giant bag of mostly water that

1728
01:07:32,483 --> 01:07:33,866
has things that can break inside of it.

1729
01:07:33,983 --> 01:07:35,183
Yeah.

1730
01:07:36,016 --> 01:07:36,750
Ouch.

1731
01:07:38,666 --> 01:07:41,433
And water, I mean, it protects us.

1732
01:07:41,483 --> 01:07:44,716
It protects us from, of course, dying, thirsting

1733
01:07:44,733 --> 01:07:48,150
to death, getting dehydrated, but it also protects

1734
01:07:48,150 --> 01:07:51,150
the earth from, you know, the sun burning everything up.

1735
01:07:51,199 --> 01:07:51,916
Yeah.

1736
01:07:51,933 --> 01:07:53,250
I mean, so...

1737
01:07:53,366 --> 01:07:56,000
Have you ever had fresh water straight from a spring?

1738
01:07:56,666 --> 01:07:58,233
It's one of the oh, man.

1739
01:07:58,283 --> 01:07:59,300
I have it every week.

1740
01:07:59,366 --> 01:08:00,150
Every week.

1741
01:08:00,199 --> 01:08:00,566
Yeah.

1742
01:08:00,633 --> 01:08:02,666
I go up to my mom's.

1743
01:08:02,733 --> 01:08:04,050
up there in a spring fed.

1744
01:08:04,099 --> 01:08:07,333
I bring home about 5 gallons every week and put a filter.

1745
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:07,883
Yeah.

1746
01:08:07,949 --> 01:08:09,516
Oh, I don't blame you.

1747
01:08:09,566 --> 01:08:09,983
would be good.

1748
01:08:10,050 --> 01:08:11,183
Good stuff.

1749
01:08:11,250 --> 01:08:11,666
Awesome.

1750
01:08:11,783 --> 01:08:15,566
We used to, that was a little spring on the way to uh, uh,

1751
01:08:15,566 --> 01:08:18,683
over in uh, Blue Ridge where we go every every Labor Day.

1752
01:08:18,750 --> 01:08:21,750
There's a used to be a little spring there as we

1753
01:08:21,750 --> 01:08:24,800
would go over to the back in there in the woods where

1754
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,366
we go to our family gathering.

1755
01:08:26,433 --> 01:08:29,500
And, uh, I'll never forget the one time we stopped

1756
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:32,550
there and we used to always stop and we'd take a little bottle and get us a little bit.

1757
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:33,916
I mean, you just drink it straight out of it.

1758
01:08:33,983 --> 01:08:37,516
So it was freezing cold in the middle of October and in

1759
01:08:37,533 --> 01:08:40,533
Blue Ridge, Georgia, which feels like it's about 250 degrees

1760
01:08:40,533 --> 01:08:44,316
because the amount of humidity in the gnats in the spring.

1761
01:08:44,433 --> 01:08:47,133
Oh man, it's just like ice cold water coming out of there.

1762
01:08:47,183 --> 01:08:49,583
And I'll never forget the time we stopped and there was a guy.

1763
01:08:49,649 --> 01:08:52,233
there was another person parked there filling up a cooler.

1764
01:08:52,283 --> 01:08:53,666
He had 3 coolers with him.

1765
01:08:53,733 --> 01:08:54,699
We were like, what in the world?

1766
01:08:54,750 --> 01:08:56,916
And he said, oh, I'm going to a T-ball game.

1767
01:08:57,716 --> 01:09:01,050
And he literally filled it up, took it with him to do the T-ball tournament.

1768
01:09:01,100 --> 01:09:04,399
When I was a kid, when I was a kid, we used to run around in the woods all the time.

1769
01:09:04,399 --> 01:09:07,166
There was 3 or 4 springs around where I lived.

1770
01:09:07,233 --> 01:09:10,350
And a lot of times, one of these springs just had this massive amount of

1771
01:09:10,350 --> 01:09:12,033
work, watercress growing in it.

1772
01:09:12,316 --> 01:09:15,566
We used to sit and just chomp on that stuff.

1773
01:09:15,633 --> 01:09:17,433
It tastes it's kind of like radishes.

1774
01:09:17,483 --> 01:09:18,016
Oh, yeah.

1775
01:09:18,033 --> 01:09:19,300
Got that spiciness to it.

1776
01:09:19,350 --> 01:09:19,716
Oh, yeah.

1777
01:09:20,066 --> 01:09:20,850
Delicious, man.

1778
01:09:20,899 --> 01:09:23,899
But you can imagine this water, this water the gods talking about.

1779
01:09:23,966 --> 01:09:24,566
Oh man.

1780
01:09:24,566 --> 01:09:25,350
Oh, it's pure.

1781
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:25,933
Pure, man.

1782
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,066
It's pure, and look at the benefit that the ocean provides to the world too.

1783
01:09:29,133 --> 01:09:31,649
Is it carbon dioxide that comes out of that?

1784
01:09:31,699 --> 01:09:33,916
Trees actually feed off of.

1785
01:09:33,983 --> 01:09:34,350
Oh, yeah.

1786
01:09:34,350 --> 01:09:37,399
And it just it gives a balance to all the land is created and

1787
01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:38,833
all the vegetation he's created.

1788
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:42,316
And I love what he says that let the waters teem with

1789
01:09:42,333 --> 01:09:43,833
swarms of living creatures.

1790
01:09:44,766 --> 01:09:45,083
Yeah

1791
01:09:45,266 --> 01:09:45,866
Yeah.

1792
01:09:45,933 --> 01:09:47,899
Huge amounts of it.

1793
01:09:47,899 --> 01:09:49,216
Schools of fish.

1794
01:09:49,283 --> 01:09:51,800
And water is the most powerful thing in the world.

1795
01:09:51,866 --> 01:09:53,483
Yeah, it would know.

1796
01:09:53,550 --> 01:09:53,966
It really is.

1797
01:09:54,033 --> 01:09:55,300
It'll wear it down, won't it?

1798
01:09:55,350 --> 01:09:58,699
I mean, look at these hydroelectric electricity plants,

1799
01:09:58,699 --> 01:10:01,466
you know, how massive they are and how often.

1800
01:10:01,583 --> 01:10:04,100
I mean, if you want to see something do damage.

1801
01:10:04,166 --> 01:10:06,683
Fire can do so much damage until it gets to what?

1802
01:10:06,750 --> 01:10:08,316
Water, right?

1803
01:10:08,366 --> 01:10:10,233
But water, nothing stops it.

1804
01:10:10,283 --> 01:10:12,500
Waterware, a boulder.

1805
01:10:12,566 --> 01:10:13,466
Yeah, absolutely.

1806
01:10:13,533 --> 01:10:14,966
A granite boulder would be gone.

1807
01:10:15,083 --> 01:10:19,216
Well, I mean, if you listen, we'll

1808
01:10:19,233 --> 01:10:20,316
talk about the flood later.

1809
01:10:20,366 --> 01:10:22,466
I mean, we look at the Grand Canyon.

1810
01:10:22,533 --> 01:10:25,949
We look at these huge places, our own

1811
01:10:25,949 --> 01:10:28,949
canyon that we have out here that's been cut out in the middle of the earth.

1812
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000
These things happen through the

1813
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,733
flood because of water, right?

1814
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,416
I mean, a constant movement.

1815
01:10:35,483 --> 01:10:37,350
Caves around here.

1816
01:10:37,399 --> 01:10:38,066
Yes, yes.

1817
01:10:38,133 --> 01:10:40,600
They were pushed out and hollowed out because of water.

1818
01:10:41,183 --> 01:10:44,183
I mean, it's just it's a powerful thing.

1819
01:10:44,250 --> 01:10:44,916
It really is.

1820
01:10:44,966 --> 01:10:46,949
And God...

1821
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,966
What does Jesus tell us we're drinking from when we get to get to the end revelation there?

1822
01:10:51,033 --> 01:10:52,416
Spring of the water of life.

1823
01:10:52,466 --> 01:10:53,433
Water of life, spring.

1824
01:10:53,483 --> 01:10:53,850
Yeah.

1825
01:10:54,449 --> 01:10:54,983
Amen.

1826
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:56,250
I mean, amen.

1827
01:10:56,300 --> 01:10:58,633
And what does he talk to the woman at the well about?

1828
01:10:58,699 --> 01:11:00,383
He says, you know, drink of the water of life.

1829
01:11:00,449 --> 01:11:02,483
And I mean, he's constantly telling her about this stuff.

1830
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:03,383
How about water?

1831
01:11:03,449 --> 01:11:03,933
Yeah.

1832
01:11:03,983 --> 01:11:04,283
Yeah.

1833
01:11:04,283 --> 01:11:04,649
Yeah.

1834
01:11:04,699 --> 01:11:07,699
Hey, John says, I baptize with water, but he baptizes

1835
01:11:07,699 --> 01:11:10,633
you with the Holy Spirit, but he still, he relates it.

1836
01:11:10,699 --> 01:11:12,616
That same cleansing, right?

1837
01:11:12,683 --> 01:11:12,983
Yeah.

1838
01:11:13,050 --> 01:11:16,883
The, uh, he tells husbands, love your wives, Christ lives, loves the church.

1839
01:11:16,949 --> 01:11:20,433
And he said, he said, cleanse her and your family by

1840
01:11:20,433 --> 01:11:22,000
the washing of the water, the word.

1841
01:11:22,050 --> 01:11:22,883
Right?

1842
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,883
I mean, we're born from water.

1843
01:11:25,949 --> 01:11:26,666
We are.

1844
01:11:26,666 --> 01:11:30,333
I mean, yeah, well, we're yeah, we're surrounded by it before we're born.

1845
01:11:30,383 --> 01:11:31,466
Spirit and water, right?

1846
01:11:31,583 --> 01:11:31,816
Yes.

1847
01:11:31,833 --> 01:11:32,066
Yeah.

1848
01:11:32,133 --> 01:11:34,416
He says, yeah, you got to be born again.

1849
01:11:34,466 --> 01:11:37,399
First you were born in water in the 2nd you were born in spirit.

1850
01:11:37,466 --> 01:11:38,483
I was trying to find

1851
01:11:38,666 --> 01:11:41,666
I thought it was Revelation one, but it's not, but there's some somewhere where

1852
01:11:41,666 --> 01:11:44,066
it talks about the voice of God being like the sound of meaning.

1853
01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:44,916
A mini walk.

1854
01:11:44,966 --> 01:11:45,266
Oh, yes.

1855
01:11:45,333 --> 01:11:45,933
Yeah, yeah.

1856
01:11:45,983 --> 01:11:48,266
I love that like a waterfall.

1857
01:11:48,333 --> 01:11:49,050
Yeah, yeah.

1858
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:51,266
Just like you think about Niagara Falls, right?

1859
01:11:51,333 --> 01:11:53,250
It's just how when he opens his mouth.

1860
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:53,600
Yeah.

1861
01:11:53,666 --> 01:11:54,800
It's just powerful.

1862
01:11:54,866 --> 01:11:55,583
It's powerful.

1863
01:11:56,066 --> 01:11:58,766
Look at, but look at this also too.

1864
01:12:00,216 --> 01:12:01,949
I don't know if you noticed in verse 22.

1865
01:12:02,866 --> 01:12:07,466
Not only did he bless these creatures, but

1866
01:12:07,466 --> 01:12:08,483
he also spoke to them.

1867
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,016
He said be fruitful and multiply,

1868
01:12:12,033 --> 01:12:13,466
saying to them.

1869
01:12:13,583 --> 01:12:16,100
He spoke to these creatures and they listened.

1870
01:12:16,166 --> 01:12:16,833
They said, okay.

1871
01:12:16,883 --> 01:12:17,850
All right.

1872
01:12:18,116 --> 01:12:18,983
We'll do this.

1873
01:12:19,050 --> 01:12:20,250
We'll do this.

1874
01:12:22,516 --> 01:12:23,066
Yeah.

1875
01:12:24,416 --> 01:12:26,850
And it ended mind blowing that he created things.

1876
01:12:26,899 --> 01:12:29,000
I mean, he starts out with vegetation with seeds, right?

1877
01:12:29,066 --> 01:12:30,800
He's going to self-reproducer, right?

1878
01:12:30,866 --> 01:12:31,699
It's going to reproduce.

1879
01:12:31,766 --> 01:12:33,449
And man, this is next level.

1880
01:12:33,566 --> 01:12:34,949
It is level.

1881
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:35,833
This is absolutely.

1882
01:12:35,966 --> 01:12:39,083
And we got we got we got examples in even the bird kingdom,

1883
01:12:39,083 --> 01:12:40,466
right, where they're like doves.

1884
01:12:40,533 --> 01:12:41,616
They made for life.

1885
01:12:41,666 --> 01:12:42,800
Right?

1886
01:12:42,866 --> 01:12:46,233
You know, you don't see a male dove without a female dove.

1887
01:12:46,283 --> 01:12:46,649
That's right.

1888
01:12:46,949 --> 01:12:47,850
Same with the cardinal.

1889
01:12:47,899 --> 01:12:50,483
And all kinds of, we see this everywhere.

1890
01:12:50,550 --> 01:12:51,683
Yeah.

1891
01:12:51,683 --> 01:12:54,750
Oh, man, it's just the order he goes in.

1892
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,033
And you know, and it's amazing to me.

1893
01:12:58,100 --> 01:13:01,333
People, you wonder why Satan attacked the air.

1894
01:13:01,399 --> 01:13:03,316
Satan, the prince of the power of the air.

1895
01:13:03,383 --> 01:13:04,283
Why go after the air?

1896
01:13:04,283 --> 01:13:07,166
Because it's one of the things that God blessed right from the beginning.

1897
01:13:07,166 --> 01:13:11,066
On day five, he says, Bri, fruitful mo five.

1898
01:13:11,133 --> 01:13:14,316
fill the waters in the seas and let the foul multiply in the earth.

1899
01:13:14,366 --> 01:13:16,949
I mean, the water in the air.

1900
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:17,533
Why?

1901
01:13:17,966 --> 01:13:21,566
I don't know, but for some reason, he relates everything back to it.

1902
01:13:21,633 --> 01:13:24,983
And Satan in an attempt to be God,

1903
01:13:24,983 --> 01:13:27,983
because that's what he wanted to be, he takes the air.

1904
01:13:28,566 --> 01:13:30,750
I kind of feel like he maybe went after the lesser of the two.

1905
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:33,983
Yeah.

1906
01:13:34,316 --> 01:13:38,000
He wasn't able to rule over the water.

1907
01:13:38,066 --> 01:13:38,666
Yeah.

1908
01:13:38,666 --> 01:13:38,966
Yeah.

1909
01:13:39,033 --> 01:13:42,083
I can't I can't look at like

1910
01:13:42,083 --> 01:13:44,116
a hawk and not be just amazed.

1911
01:13:44,183 --> 01:13:44,966
Oh, yeah.

1912
01:13:45,033 --> 01:13:48,149
You see them all over power lines watching looking for rats,

1913
01:13:48,149 --> 01:13:51,266
you know, just sitting up there waiting and me and

1914
01:13:51,266 --> 01:13:54,266
me and Diane spent Father's Day

1915
01:13:54,266 --> 01:13:57,333
weekend well the weekend after Father's Day on the lake and

1916
01:13:57,333 --> 01:13:58,416
we saw Eagles.

1917
01:13:58,466 --> 01:13:59,850
Oh, man.

1918
01:14:00,383 --> 01:14:01,649
And these are so impressive.

1919
01:14:01,699 --> 01:14:04,633
There's beautiful and they're gigantic.

1920
01:14:04,699 --> 01:14:05,483
The wingspans.

1921
01:14:05,483 --> 01:14:06,266
They're huge.

1922
01:14:06,333 --> 01:14:09,333
And then we saw, we were just out, you know, it

1923
01:14:09,333 --> 01:14:12,500
was floating around with our life preservers just floating around in the water, you know, and we look

1924
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:15,383
up and there's an osprey coming by with fish.

1925
01:14:15,449 --> 01:14:16,649
I swear this fish was this long.

1926
01:14:16,883 --> 01:14:20,850
just hanging on to that thing and he kept flying around and around us.

1927
01:14:20,899 --> 01:14:22,399
Like he's like, hey, I got it.

1928
01:14:23,366 --> 01:14:25,949
These birds are just amazing.

1929
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:26,666
They are.

1930
01:14:26,733 --> 01:14:27,750
are amazing creatures.

1931
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,600
You ever heard an owl fly?

1932
01:14:30,616 --> 01:14:31,699
That's a big old one.

1933
01:14:31,766 --> 01:14:32,733
Yeah, it is a big bird.

1934
01:14:32,783 --> 01:14:33,266
Big old bird.

1935
01:14:33,333 --> 01:14:35,199
But there's a reason I said heard.

1936
01:14:35,250 --> 01:14:36,633
You can't hear those things move.

1937
01:14:36,750 --> 01:14:37,416
Yeah.

1938
01:14:37,416 --> 01:14:39,016
Yeah, stealth.

1939
01:14:39,083 --> 01:14:42,616
I will never forget watching the guy and there's a video online.

1940
01:14:42,683 --> 01:14:46,399
You can watch where somebody shows it off by having a line of microphones,

1941
01:14:46,399 --> 01:14:49,933
of high quality studio boom microphones set up and

1942
01:14:49,949 --> 01:14:51,750
have an owl fly across to him.

1943
01:14:52,566 --> 01:14:53,483
You hear nothing.

1944
01:14:53,916 --> 01:14:54,750
Nothing.

1945
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,983
And we always had a guy that brought one to the critter

1946
01:14:57,983 --> 01:14:59,899
show when I was in school and he'd take that thing.

1947
01:14:59,966 --> 01:15:01,350
flap around, fly up.

1948
01:15:01,399 --> 01:15:02,833
He had it trained real well.

1949
01:15:02,899 --> 01:15:04,583
He'd fly up over the students.

1950
01:15:04,649 --> 01:15:05,783
You'd feel it.

1951
01:15:05,850 --> 01:15:08,066
It was moving a lot of air because that thing was huge.

1952
01:15:08,616 --> 01:15:09,383
Never hear.

1953
01:15:09,449 --> 01:15:12,383
You hear one in the in the woods in the middle of the night.

1954
01:15:12,383 --> 01:15:13,949
Oh, they let out a screen.

1955
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,000
You were out there hunting and you came hunting, you know,

1956
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,199
east came out of life.

1957
01:15:18,333 --> 01:15:20,366
And they're going, woo-hoo.

1958
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:23,616
Yeah, boy, it'll make the hair stand up on the back.

1959
01:15:23,666 --> 01:15:26,366
Yeah, you hear one over here and then you hear one answer back over there.

1960
01:15:26,433 --> 01:15:27,149
Yeah.

1961
01:15:27,199 --> 01:15:28,166
Yeah.

1962
01:15:28,233 --> 01:15:29,016
Oh, man.

1963
01:15:29,016 --> 01:15:30,199
Those in quail.

1964
01:15:30,266 --> 01:15:33,916
He walked by a bush at night and a bunch of...

1965
01:15:34,766 --> 01:15:35,250
Yeah.

1966
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:37,216
You talking about scary.

1967
01:15:37,283 --> 01:15:38,899
No, yeah, you're screwing.

1968
01:15:41,016 --> 01:15:44,600
But I just think it's amazing that he chose.

1969
01:15:44,666 --> 01:15:48,750
He chose the fish and that's another thing.

1970
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,866
It's just amazing to me, is you see these videos online

1971
01:15:51,866 --> 01:15:54,933
or wherever National Geographic stuff, these

1972
01:15:54,933 --> 01:15:56,500
schools are fishing, just gorgeous.

1973
01:15:56,550 --> 01:15:58,050
I mean, underwater.

1974
01:15:58,050 --> 01:15:58,416
Oh, gosh.

1975
01:15:58,466 --> 01:15:59,183
just beautiful stuff.

1976
01:15:59,250 --> 01:16:02,483
If you've never got to go scuba diving

1977
01:16:02,483 --> 01:16:05,716
or at least snorkeling some of these tropical islands, man,

1978
01:16:05,733 --> 01:16:08,916
that is the coolest thing that

1979
01:16:08,916 --> 01:16:12,316
you can ever do is to just watch

1980
01:16:12,333 --> 01:16:15,399
these fish that are just all these beautiful colors

1981
01:16:15,399 --> 01:16:19,166
that are just vibrant and it's just different ones.

1982
01:16:19,233 --> 01:16:23,199
I mean, the ocean has always just amazed me.

1983
01:16:23,250 --> 01:16:25,949
I've got a, I've got a reverent fear of it.

1984
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,616
I mean I think we should.

1985
01:16:28,166 --> 01:16:31,766
But but again, our

1986
01:16:31,766 --> 01:16:35,183
whole earth and the attraction

1987
01:16:35,183 --> 01:16:38,183
that we have here for vacations and different things like that,

1988
01:16:38,183 --> 01:16:41,250
we'd love to go to places where there's water, right?

1989
01:16:41,300 --> 01:16:45,433
whether it be the lake, whether it be the ocean, a

1990
01:16:45,449 --> 01:16:48,566
river, you know, whatever it is, I mean, people love

1991
01:16:48,566 --> 01:16:51,683
to be in these places where there's water.

1992
01:16:51,750 --> 01:16:52,716
is a piece, don't it?

1993
01:16:52,766 --> 01:16:55,833
There's something, yeah, there's a cannon on a beach and look

1994
01:16:55,833 --> 01:16:57,399
out at the ocean and how big that is.

1995
01:16:57,500 --> 01:17:02,716
How, how, yeah, yeah, the vastness of the ocean.

1996
01:17:02,733 --> 01:17:04,466
To be on a cruise ship.

1997
01:17:05,716 --> 01:17:08,483
And to be out there in the middle of the ocean.

1998
01:17:08,483 --> 01:17:11,550
And, of course, those cruise boats are not as far out

1999
01:17:11,550 --> 01:17:14,666
as they look, you know, but when you can't

2000
01:17:14,666 --> 01:17:18,149
see land and you're looking out there and it just, I

2001
01:17:18,149 --> 01:17:20,016
am so fascinated with it.

2002
01:17:20,066 --> 01:17:23,133
I mean, that something could be that big that I cannot see

2003
01:17:23,133 --> 01:17:25,233
a piece of land, you know?

2004
01:17:25,283 --> 01:17:28,699
Uh, and and and then to see 2 boats pass

2005
01:17:28,699 --> 01:17:29,716
each other on it.

2006
01:17:29,783 --> 01:17:30,616
like, where'd you come from?

2007
01:17:30,683 --> 01:17:33,750
You know, there's plenty of room over there.

2008
01:17:33,866 --> 01:17:34,100
Yeah.

2009
01:17:34,166 --> 01:17:37,833
But I mean, just movies

2010
01:17:37,833 --> 01:17:40,949
that we watch, you know, tons of the movies that we

2011
01:17:40,949 --> 01:17:44,016
watch are water is a big part of them.

2012
01:17:44,133 --> 01:17:47,899
you know, a lot of a lot of different fishing

2013
01:17:47,899 --> 01:17:50,966
and boating and movies, you know, jaws

2014
01:17:50,966 --> 01:17:54,449
and things like that, you know, people, I'm a shark buff too.

2015
01:17:54,500 --> 01:17:56,300
I'm nerdy when it comes to that.

2016
01:17:56,366 --> 01:17:58,833
But Shark Week's coming up here in a few weeks.

2017
01:17:58,833 --> 01:18:00,216
Oh, it is coming up.

2018
01:18:00,266 --> 01:18:02,133
some of those pier cameras.

2019
01:18:02,183 --> 01:18:03,383
You ever seen the pier cameras?

2020
01:18:03,449 --> 01:18:04,350
like an orange beach?

2021
01:18:04,399 --> 01:18:04,933
places.

2022
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:06,733
Sharks around them things.

2023
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:07,516
Oh, yeah, yeah.

2024
01:18:07,583 --> 01:18:09,266
Taking people's fish off their hooks.

2025
01:18:09,333 --> 01:18:12,383
Yeah, or you see these helicopters drive over

2026
01:18:12,383 --> 01:18:15,383
sometimes and people out there, you know, in

2027
01:18:15,383 --> 01:18:19,583
the water at the beach and then not too far, maybe a 100 yards out there, if that, you know.

2028
01:18:19,649 --> 01:18:20,550
And you do not know it.

2029
01:18:20,850 --> 01:18:22,166
Swarm charts are everywhere.

2030
01:18:22,233 --> 01:18:22,699
Yeah.

2031
01:18:22,699 --> 01:18:23,000
Yeah.

2032
01:18:23,066 --> 01:18:26,133
We, we went, we went, uh, we

2033
01:18:26,133 --> 01:18:29,250
were in Mexico and we went to, uh, uh, we, we went

2034
01:18:29,250 --> 01:18:33,149
out scuba diving uh, with uh, uh, these guys.

2035
01:18:33,199 --> 01:18:36,383
We had, it was actually not a, I

2036
01:18:36,383 --> 01:18:39,866
don't, I don't recommend it every, but we, somebody had told us about that

2037
01:18:39,866 --> 01:18:42,983
they had went through this, this certain place before and

2038
01:18:42,983 --> 01:18:44,666
it's not actually, uh, we went,

2039
01:18:44,733 --> 01:18:47,733
It was a carnival boat, but this was not a carnival,

2040
01:18:49,466 --> 01:18:51,333
this was not a carnival excursion.

2041
01:18:51,383 --> 01:18:51,750
Okay?

2042
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,916
And so we went to the, there's

2043
01:18:54,933 --> 01:18:56,316
a place where you can go.

2044
01:18:56,366 --> 01:18:57,633
It's pretty it's pretty cheap.

2045
01:18:57,683 --> 01:19:00,800
There's a beach and they pamper you all day long.

2046
01:19:00,866 --> 01:19:02,183
They feed you all day long.

2047
01:19:02,250 --> 01:19:05,316
And I mean, these there's like 2

2048
01:19:05,316 --> 01:19:08,416
or 3 mentioning guys pull up in a boat and said, hey, y'all want to go snorkeling?

2049
01:19:08,433 --> 01:19:09,866
And we did.

2050
01:19:09,933 --> 01:19:11,916
on the boat with them, you know?

2051
01:19:14,183 --> 01:19:16,399
Glad you made it back, Preacher.

2052
01:19:17,483 --> 01:19:20,550
Me and Tatum, Blake, Summer

2053
01:19:20,550 --> 01:19:23,550
Carter, for some reason, Brendan didn't go with us and

2054
01:19:23,550 --> 01:19:24,566
Nicole didn't go with us.

2055
01:19:24,633 --> 01:19:27,683
But anyway, I guess they had better sense, but we went out with these

2056
01:19:27,683 --> 01:19:29,250
guys and it was so cool.

2057
01:19:29,300 --> 01:19:29,833
It was so cool.

2058
01:19:29,899 --> 01:19:33,566
It was some of the best snorkeling and I've been several different places in the Caribbean.

2059
01:19:33,633 --> 01:19:37,166
But we went out and it was so beautiful.

2060
01:19:37,166 --> 01:19:40,233
And we got, we seen this, uh, there was a nerf shark that

2061
01:19:40,233 --> 01:19:43,233
was down there and he, he, uh, he went out in the water with us

2062
01:19:43,233 --> 01:19:44,500
and he was showing it to us.

2063
01:19:44,550 --> 01:19:47,483
you know, it's pretty, it's probably about, I don't know, 20 or 30 feet down there.

2064
01:19:47,550 --> 01:19:48,633
It was like a little hole.

2065
01:19:49,066 --> 01:19:52,100
But we went out and we're looking at all this

2066
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:55,516
beautiful fish and and reef and different things there and

2067
01:19:55,533 --> 01:19:59,616
he and he and he motioned for us to follow him out a little bit.

2068
01:20:00,216 --> 01:20:03,750
And he said, look here, he said, you're going to see the difference in the ocean.

2069
01:20:04,066 --> 01:20:05,366
there's a shelf there.

2070
01:20:06,016 --> 01:20:08,483
And I mean, it just blew my mind.

2071
01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:11,550
Like, like you're you're in 20 foot of water, 30

2072
01:20:11,550 --> 01:20:14,550
foot of water, and then all of a sudden, there is, there

2073
01:20:14,550 --> 01:20:18,083
is a distinct line in the ocean where

2074
01:20:18,083 --> 01:20:21,083
it's a cliff that drops off for like, I

2075
01:20:21,083 --> 01:20:24,383
don't know, 100s of feet for sure, if not 1000s and

2076
01:20:24,383 --> 01:20:26,416
it just, the ocean's dark.

2077
01:20:26,483 --> 01:20:27,383
Right?

2078
01:20:27,449 --> 01:20:28,166
It's just dark.

2079
01:20:28,233 --> 01:20:31,699
It's scary, but it's so neat and it's just that's

2080
01:20:31,699 --> 01:20:32,966
just like it just pulls you, you know?

2081
01:20:33,033 --> 01:20:34,600
See, that's something too.

2082
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,166
The deepest point is several miles deep out there.

2083
01:20:37,233 --> 01:20:37,716
Yeah.

2084
01:20:37,716 --> 01:20:41,416
I mean, we haven't, they say that they say the ocean is the last frontier.

2085
01:20:41,483 --> 01:20:41,966
Yeah.

2086
01:20:41,966 --> 01:20:45,750
It's the least explored place on earth that we don't know much about it at all.

2087
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,083
We can't even build anything that could survive.

2088
01:20:48,149 --> 01:20:51,199
And everything, every time they do go to a

2089
01:20:51,199 --> 01:20:53,000
new place, they discover some new creature.

2090
01:20:53,066 --> 01:20:54,149
creature down there.

2091
01:20:54,199 --> 01:20:56,716
Some weird looking thing with teeth, you know?

2092
01:20:57,766 --> 01:20:58,399
Everywhere.

2093
01:20:58,466 --> 01:20:59,366
Yeah, everywhere.

2094
01:20:59,433 --> 01:21:00,216
and just darkness.

2095
01:21:00,266 --> 01:21:01,166
Right.

2096
01:21:01,166 --> 01:21:03,500
And God created that thing to live there for a reason.

2097
01:21:03,566 --> 01:21:04,166
That's right.

2098
01:21:04,166 --> 01:21:04,766
That's right.

2099
01:21:04,833 --> 01:21:08,800
We can't we can't find all this stuff in all of our lifetime.

2100
01:21:09,500 --> 01:21:09,800
no.

2101
01:21:09,866 --> 01:21:10,583
absolutely.

2102
01:21:10,649 --> 01:21:11,916
God ain't got a budget.

2103
01:21:11,966 --> 01:21:12,383
That's right

2104
01:21:12,566 --> 01:21:13,833
I love that same.

2105
01:21:13,949 --> 01:21:16,283
And one day, we're going to get to explore it all.

2106
01:21:16,350 --> 01:21:17,666
Yeah, you know that?

2107
01:21:17,733 --> 01:21:20,850
I mean, New Heaven, it's going to be new, but there's going to be new,

2108
01:21:20,850 --> 01:21:22,766
having a new earth, and we're going to get to explore it all.

2109
01:21:22,833 --> 01:21:23,850
going to get to see it all.

2110
01:21:23,899 --> 01:21:26,533
If we want to be there, if we want to, we can survive in it all.

2111
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:29,833
And we ain't got to worry about anything eating us or tearing us up.

2112
01:21:29,899 --> 01:21:31,466
Everything's going to be lit up, too.

2113
01:21:31,533 --> 01:21:32,066
No darkness.

2114
01:21:32,183 --> 01:21:34,050
There'll be no darkness in the deep.

2115
01:21:34,100 --> 01:21:36,266
I don't care how deep the water is.

2116
01:21:36,333 --> 01:21:38,500
We'll be able to see through it, right?

2117
01:21:38,550 --> 01:21:39,750
That'll be that crystal clear.

2118
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:40,333
Oh, man.

2119
01:21:40,350 --> 01:21:43,350
Can you imagine in those new bodies and it's just like, huh?

2120
01:21:43,399 --> 01:21:45,083
I'm gonna go hang out at the bottom of the ocean.

2121
01:21:45,149 --> 01:21:46,166
Yeah, yeah.

2122
01:21:48,816 --> 01:21:50,133
I took a nap down here.

2123
01:21:50,183 --> 01:21:53,183
And hey, time doesn't matter, so you may end up going, huh, I

2124
01:21:53,183 --> 01:21:54,449
just lost like a couple 1000 years.

2125
01:21:54,500 --> 01:21:55,466
I don't know how that happened.

2126
01:21:55,533 --> 01:21:57,333
I need to get back to work.

2127
01:21:57,383 --> 01:22:00,016
get back somebody over here needs a leaf off a tree of life.

2128
01:22:03,083 --> 01:22:04,466
We got stuff to do here, guys.

2129
01:22:04,533 --> 01:22:07,600
You know, one of the things that struck me, the

2130
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:11,416
cruise we went on when I was a little bit younger was,

2131
01:22:11,433 --> 01:22:14,783
I never, it never occurred to me, just how massive

2132
01:22:14,783 --> 01:22:18,016
the earth is until then, that was when

2133
01:22:18,033 --> 01:22:21,866
it really hit me, because I'm out there on this cruise, and everybody else,

2134
01:22:21,866 --> 01:22:24,983
the people I was with, they'd gone down, gone to bed, and I'm like, okay,

2135
01:22:24,983 --> 01:22:26,183
it's kind of late in the evening.

2136
01:22:26,250 --> 01:22:29,316
And I went up on the deck and I'd taken my book and they had

2137
01:22:29,316 --> 01:22:32,483
little lamps going on and thankfully they gave off heat because it

2138
01:22:32,483 --> 01:22:35,550
was cold in the middle of the summer and it was like

2139
01:22:35,550 --> 01:22:37,416
60 something degrees up there.

2140
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,383
Because we're out in the middle of the ocean, you know?

2141
01:22:39,449 --> 01:22:41,433
I mean, it was like, goodness, what's going on?

2142
01:22:41,483 --> 01:22:44,550
So I go up there and I'm kicked back and I'm right on the at the front

2143
01:22:44,550 --> 01:22:47,016
of the boat and so I can see exactly where we're headed.

2144
01:22:47,066 --> 01:22:47,733
It was awesome view.

2145
01:22:47,850 --> 01:22:50,850
And I look up and realize, and I feel,

2146
01:22:50,850 --> 01:22:54,033
because I'm not, I don't like being on the water.

2147
01:22:54,083 --> 01:22:55,050
I do not like it.

2148
01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:58,100
My equilibrium can pick up every little

2149
01:22:58,100 --> 01:23:00,383
movement and it just, I don't like it.

2150
01:23:00,449 --> 01:23:02,916
Yeah, I do not like it very much.

2151
01:23:02,966 --> 01:23:06,266
And I could tell the boat was turning like

2152
01:23:06,266 --> 01:23:07,283
a fair amount.

2153
01:23:07,350 --> 01:23:08,733
And I'm like, what in the world's going on?

2154
01:23:08,783 --> 01:23:11,850
And I look up and realize they were turning around a storm.

2155
01:23:12,316 --> 01:23:15,449
And I'm looking at that thing and one of the guys comes by and he was standing

2156
01:23:15,449 --> 01:23:18,566
there and it was one of the guys that worked in the ship rather than one

2157
01:23:18,566 --> 01:23:21,683
of the normal people that would be on deck and he's just standing there watching it and he goes,

2158
01:23:21,683 --> 01:23:22,883
ah, I love seeing that.

2159
01:23:22,949 --> 01:23:24,333
I said, how big is that thing?

2160
01:23:24,383 --> 01:23:26,850
And he said, eh, about 2 miles wide.

2161
01:23:29,366 --> 01:23:32,433
I'm sorry, we're we're making a minor

2162
01:23:32,433 --> 01:23:35,616
turn to dodge a 2 mile wide

2163
01:23:35,616 --> 01:23:39,433
hurricane in the middle of the ocean and

2164
01:23:39,449 --> 01:23:42,266
missed it by enough that we literally watched it go past.

2165
01:23:43,316 --> 01:23:45,633
And I was like, okay, yeah, this is big.

2166
01:23:46,466 --> 01:23:49,883
That's, and it is a speck.

2167
01:23:49,949 --> 01:23:51,033
compared to what's outside.

2168
01:23:51,083 --> 01:23:52,100
Oh my gosh.

2169
01:23:52,166 --> 01:23:55,233
That's like, that's like, I've flown to Europe a few

2170
01:23:55,233 --> 01:23:59,616
times and I remember one time it's coming back from Paris.

2171
01:23:59,666 --> 01:24:01,949
I think it was Paris going back to Atlanta.

2172
01:24:02,266 --> 01:24:05,300
And that's some of the most boring flying you've ever seen in your life.

2173
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:09,566
You know, it's just looking out and it's like 6 hours of ocean.

2174
01:24:09,633 --> 01:24:10,316
water, water, water, water?

2175
01:24:10,766 --> 01:24:11,183
Yeah.

2176
01:24:11,183 --> 01:24:13,100
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

2177
01:24:13,166 --> 01:24:14,666
But that time we got to see Greenland.

2178
01:24:14,733 --> 01:24:16,000
Like, I saw a tip of Greenland.

2179
01:24:16,050 --> 01:24:16,716
Hey there you go.

2180
01:24:16,766 --> 01:24:17,366
kind of cool.

2181
01:24:17,433 --> 01:24:20,133
Because they make these big arcs, you know, because the earth's so big.

2182
01:24:20,183 --> 01:24:21,800
It's shorter to go on an arc.

2183
01:24:21,866 --> 01:24:23,850
But man, this thing is monstrous.

2184
01:24:23,899 --> 01:24:24,433
It is.

2185
01:24:24,449 --> 01:24:25,233
It's monstrous.

2186
01:24:25,283 --> 01:24:29,483
I mean, you can fly to Asia like a 12, 16 hour flight, some crazy thing like that.

2187
01:24:29,550 --> 01:24:32,133
And you're traveling at 100s of miles an hour.

2188
01:24:32,250 --> 01:24:33,633
about 500, about 500.

2189
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,600
Yeah. 500 or better.

2190
01:24:35,666 --> 01:24:39,199
And 14 hours moving 500 miles an hour.

2191
01:24:39,266 --> 01:24:39,566
Yeah.

2192
01:24:39,566 --> 01:24:41,850
That is that is a lot of flying.

2193
01:24:41,899 --> 01:24:43,033
That's a long distance.

2194
01:24:43,100 --> 01:24:43,699
No way.

2195
01:24:43,766 --> 01:24:46,833
And you're, you know, 40,000 feet and it's like -50

2196
01:24:46,833 --> 01:24:48,333
degrees Celsius outside.

2197
01:24:48,383 --> 01:24:50,000
Yeah. or Fahrenheit.

2198
01:24:50,066 --> 01:24:50,433
Right.

2199
01:24:50,483 --> 01:24:51,800
It's cold, man.

2200
01:24:51,866 --> 01:24:54,750
But this earth is just monstrous.

2201
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,916
And to know that God laid all this stuff out with stuff that we

2202
01:24:57,933 --> 01:24:59,500
can never find the end of.

2203
01:24:59,550 --> 01:25:02,016
Such perfect precision to end up.

2204
01:25:02,066 --> 01:25:03,566
It's amazing.

2205
01:25:03,633 --> 01:25:06,750
God gives us this whole planet to play on, and our solution to it is

2206
01:25:06,750 --> 01:25:09,800
make a giant pressurized tube and

2207
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,600
see if we can throw it from one side to the other.

2208
01:25:13,766 --> 01:25:17,550
But you know, they're still they're still tribes

2209
01:25:17,550 --> 01:25:21,266
of people that probably haven't been discovered yet.

2210
01:25:21,333 --> 01:25:23,966
Oh yeah, they're discovering people all the time.

2211
01:25:24,566 --> 01:25:26,000
If they saw a plane fly over.

2212
01:25:26,066 --> 01:25:27,449
they'd be like, oh it's a monster.

2213
01:25:27,500 --> 01:25:27,916
Yeah.

2214
01:25:27,933 --> 01:25:28,716
It's a dragon.

2215
01:25:32,066 --> 01:25:32,600
don't know.

2216
01:25:32,666 --> 01:25:35,133
I don't know how far we need to go because I know we've been.

2217
01:25:35,133 --> 01:25:36,633
Oh, we've been at it, haven't we?

2218
01:25:36,683 --> 01:25:37,350
at it for a while.

2219
01:25:37,399 --> 01:25:37,766
Yeah.

2220
01:25:37,766 --> 01:25:39,566
Hey man, this is probably going to be about 3 years.

2221
01:25:39,633 --> 01:25:40,649
There's 50 chapters.

2222
01:25:40,699 --> 01:25:42,266
Yeah, it will.

2223
01:25:42,266 --> 01:25:44,783
There's a lot there's a lot to learn in here, though, man.

2224
01:25:44,850 --> 01:25:47,966
There's some such good lessons all throughout Genesis.

2225
01:25:48,666 --> 01:25:51,683
You know, the 6th day would be a good place to

2226
01:25:51,683 --> 01:25:53,550
pick up.

2227
01:25:53,550 --> 01:25:54,149
I think it's a good one.

2228
01:25:54,149 --> 01:25:55,716
We could pick up there next week.

2229
01:25:55,766 --> 01:25:57,083
There's so much.

2230
01:25:57,199 --> 01:25:57,866
Start with the land.

2231
01:25:57,933 --> 01:26:01,100
And hey, when we finish up chapter one, we

2232
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:02,783
get to repeat all this again, next chapter.

2233
01:26:03,916 --> 01:26:06,333
Because it's so important they go over it twice.

2234
01:26:06,383 --> 01:26:09,566
That's something we'll probably talk about next week, though,

2235
01:26:09,566 --> 01:26:12,750
is I don't know who divided this

2236
01:26:12,750 --> 01:26:15,383
book into chapters, but they missed the mark on that.

2237
01:26:15,449 --> 01:26:16,233
Yeah.

2238
01:26:16,233 --> 01:26:19,233
Chapter 2 up to verse 3 should be part of chapter.

2239
01:26:19,283 --> 01:26:19,699
Chapter one.

2240
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:20,966
get really confused about that.

2241
01:26:21,033 --> 01:26:22,000
They do.

2242
01:26:22,050 --> 01:26:22,350
They do.

2243
01:26:22,399 --> 01:26:23,899
I think it's something different, but it's not.

2244
01:26:24,033 --> 01:26:24,216
Yeah.

2245
01:26:24,633 --> 01:26:25,833
There's some reiteration in there.

2246
01:26:25,883 --> 01:26:26,250
but anyway.

2247
01:26:26,300 --> 01:26:26,783
Yeah.

2248
01:26:27,066 --> 01:26:29,600
And and that, you know, this is the thing.

2249
01:26:29,666 --> 01:26:31,833
And like I say, and I apologize.

2250
01:26:31,883 --> 01:26:34,050
I know I chase rabbits on this, but I love this stuff.

2251
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:38,000
I love it so much because it is the foundation of our faith.

2252
01:26:38,566 --> 01:26:41,783
And there's an immediate line between Genesis

2253
01:26:41,783 --> 01:26:43,649
11 and John 11.

2254
01:26:43,833 --> 01:26:46,949
And I always tell people, hey, look, it's worth

2255
01:26:46,949 --> 01:26:50,783
reading both because you need to know where it started so

2256
01:26:50,783 --> 01:26:53,066
that you can figure out what's going on when the end comes.

2257
01:26:53,133 --> 01:26:56,183
And when you get to the end, and we study, and almost

2258
01:26:56,183 --> 01:26:59,183
everybody always goes to those studies of Revelation and stuff, I don't

2259
01:26:59,183 --> 01:27:02,183
find many people going back to Genesis and going back to these

2260
01:27:02,183 --> 01:27:05,250
1st 5 books to talk about the law, because, oh, we're

2261
01:27:05,250 --> 01:27:08,433
free from the law, God would not have given it to us to

2262
01:27:08,433 --> 01:27:09,866
remember if it wasn't important.

2263
01:27:09,933 --> 01:27:12,933
And we've seen some ugly, you know, in our

2264
01:27:12,933 --> 01:27:15,100
last study where all the fish die.

2265
01:27:15,149 --> 01:27:16,583
Yeah, yeah.

2266
01:27:16,649 --> 01:27:18,383
Massive case.

2267
01:27:18,449 --> 01:27:21,800
And even today, I mean, the massive amount

2268
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,800
of ocean life

2269
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,800
that's there, can you imagine if it

2270
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,000
all dies?

2271
01:27:29,066 --> 01:27:33,083
Oh, what a terrible diseased place this will be when that happens.

2272
01:27:33,199 --> 01:27:35,416
And man, I'm like you.

2273
01:27:35,483 --> 01:27:36,449
It never occurred to me.

2274
01:27:36,500 --> 01:27:39,199
about God blessing the fish and the fowl.

2275
01:27:39,750 --> 01:27:40,050
right there.

2276
01:27:40,100 --> 01:27:41,899
I had missed that all these years reading it.

2277
01:27:41,966 --> 01:27:45,566
And then for what happens at

2278
01:27:45,566 --> 01:27:48,333
the end, you think that breaks his heart?

2279
01:27:48,383 --> 01:27:49,283
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

2280
01:27:49,350 --> 01:27:50,966
He blessed these creatures.

2281
01:27:51,033 --> 01:27:54,083
And he, that shows a deep caring for

2282
01:27:54,083 --> 01:27:56,183
them that is unique, that is special.

2283
01:27:56,250 --> 01:27:58,766
They held a special place in his heart when he made them.

2284
01:27:58,833 --> 01:28:02,433
At the end of the day, they're the 1st life he made was

2285
01:28:02,433 --> 01:28:03,816
the fish and the birds.

2286
01:28:03,866 --> 01:28:07,100
And then he has to destroy them and wipe

2287
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:09,133
them out in such a brutal way at the end.

2288
01:28:10,966 --> 01:28:14,666
Guy's sin breaks God's heart in

2289
01:28:14,666 --> 01:28:17,366
every possible conceivable way.

2290
01:28:17,433 --> 01:28:20,666
And people are like, well, if God's so far above us,

2291
01:28:20,666 --> 01:28:23,966
how do you know he has feelings like that, because he gave us those same feelings.

2292
01:28:24,083 --> 01:28:26,716
It broke all of creation and we don't even think about it.

2293
01:28:26,783 --> 01:28:28,050
No, we don't.

2294
01:28:29,116 --> 01:28:31,766
We don't realize how broken we are.

2295
01:28:31,833 --> 01:28:36,100
And that's something that I think is worth remembering when we read this.

2296
01:28:36,916 --> 01:28:39,383
It was perfect and it was beautiful and it was wonderful.

2297
01:28:40,616 --> 01:28:42,083
And we were perfect.

2298
01:28:42,833 --> 01:28:45,166
Adam and Eve were perfect and beautiful and wonderful.

2299
01:28:46,233 --> 01:28:49,433
And then we get to live out the all this time broken

2300
01:28:49,433 --> 01:28:51,949
and damaged and in pain.

2301
01:28:52,016 --> 01:28:53,333
And God loves us.

2302
01:28:53,399 --> 01:28:56,399
And he told all of this and he gave

2303
01:28:56,399 --> 01:28:59,449
us this book for instruction for us to know

2304
01:28:59,449 --> 01:29:01,316
that he loves us.

2305
01:29:01,366 --> 01:29:03,833
Look at the care he took to do this.

2306
01:29:03,899 --> 01:29:06,966
One day on each little task

2307
01:29:06,966 --> 01:29:10,066
that he had, took one day for each

2308
01:29:10,066 --> 01:29:11,083
one to do it.

2309
01:29:11,783 --> 01:29:14,149
Look at it, observe it, do the next one.

2310
01:29:14,216 --> 01:29:16,016
Look at it, observe it, do the next one.

2311
01:29:16,733 --> 01:29:19,800
Hey, you think that might be some instruction on how you're supposed to do things?

2312
01:29:19,850 --> 01:29:21,716
And you did it in perfect order, right?

2313
01:29:21,766 --> 01:29:22,550
Perfect order.

2314
01:29:22,616 --> 01:29:24,116
And he's doing that with us now.

2315
01:29:24,233 --> 01:29:24,833
He is.

2316
01:29:24,833 --> 01:29:25,500
Absolutely.

2317
01:29:25,550 --> 01:29:27,166
He's got us he's got us born again.

2318
01:29:27,233 --> 01:29:29,933
He's got spirit living in us, you know, the kingdom's in our hearts.

2319
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:30,966
That's not here.

2320
01:29:31,016 --> 01:29:31,550
That's right.

2321
01:29:31,550 --> 01:29:32,333
But it's coming.

2322
01:29:32,399 --> 01:29:35,516
And he's going step by step by step.

2323
01:29:35,566 --> 01:29:36,100
Amen.

2324
01:29:36,166 --> 01:29:36,583
Amen.

2325
01:29:37,133 --> 01:29:39,350
We're being sanctified right now, right?

2326
01:29:39,416 --> 01:29:41,449
I mean, that's God's steps in our life.

2327
01:29:41,516 --> 01:29:41,883
Yeah.

2328
01:29:41,933 --> 01:29:43,500
We're going be glorified one day.

2329
01:29:43,550 --> 01:29:44,566
Yeah.

2330
01:29:44,633 --> 01:29:47,633
And that's and the beauty is step by step,

2331
01:29:47,633 --> 01:29:50,333
he leads us every single day.

2332
01:29:50,333 --> 01:29:51,716
And we should be following him.

2333
01:29:51,766 --> 01:29:55,850
And if you're not, hey, now's the time to start.

2334
01:29:55,916 --> 01:29:57,416
Now's the time to start.

2335
01:29:57,466 --> 01:29:59,566
And make that decision.

2336
01:29:59,699 --> 01:30:00,966
You don't have to do it in church.

2337
01:30:01,016 --> 01:30:02,399
You don't have to be at an altar.

2338
01:30:02,449 --> 01:30:03,949
You don't have to do it while you're listening to us.

2339
01:30:04,583 --> 01:30:07,066
Just pray and tell God that you want to follow him.

2340
01:30:07,133 --> 01:30:09,350
I promise he's there for you and he wants you to follow him.

2341
01:30:09,416 --> 01:30:11,033
And he'll let you do it.

2342
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:12,416
He'll hear that prayer for sure.

2343
01:30:12,466 --> 01:30:15,166
And then, and hey, the only command you're given.

2344
01:30:15,233 --> 01:30:17,699
Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth and you will be saved.

2345
01:30:17,750 --> 01:30:19,616
That's that's the steps for salvation.

2346
01:30:19,666 --> 01:30:21,233
Now there's some changes that come after that.

2347
01:30:21,300 --> 01:30:24,300
There's some things that come along with it, but you got to believe it in your heart.

2348
01:30:24,350 --> 01:30:27,416
That means a deep, seated conviction that

2349
01:30:27,416 --> 01:30:28,433
you truly believe.

2350
01:30:28,500 --> 01:30:31,616
And I'm hoping that by going through Revelation, if anybody's

2351
01:30:31,616 --> 01:30:35,100
following us that doesn't really believe, maybe you'll see something here after

2352
01:30:35,100 --> 01:30:37,016
we go through Revelation to go through Genesis.

2353
01:30:37,066 --> 01:30:40,066
Maybe you're going to see something here that will help you believe

2354
01:30:40,066 --> 01:30:41,983
that God loves you.

2355
01:30:42,050 --> 01:30:45,833
You, individually, he knows your name.

2356
01:30:45,899 --> 01:30:49,133
He knows every hair on your head and he wants a relationship with

2357
01:30:49,133 --> 01:30:52,250
you because he loves you because you are one

2358
01:30:52,250 --> 01:30:55,366
of his and he wants you to choose to be with him.

2359
01:30:56,866 --> 01:31:00,283
So next week we'll pick up with Genesis

2360
01:31:00,300 --> 01:31:01,733
124.

2361
01:31:01,733 --> 01:31:02,816
24.

2362
01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:05,100
Yeah, Genesis 124.

2363
01:31:05,216 --> 01:31:06,050
We pick up on the land.

2364
01:31:06,116 --> 01:31:09,166
Now that we've finally gotten past the water and the sky

2365
01:31:09,166 --> 01:31:10,550
and all this other,

2366
01:31:10,666 --> 01:31:12,050
Hey, we finally get some land in here.

2367
01:31:14,333 --> 01:31:15,649
Brother Dennis?

2368
01:31:16,083 --> 01:31:17,266
You pray us out tonight?

2369
01:31:17,333 --> 01:31:21,300
Father in heaven, thank you so much for this time to study your word.

2370
01:31:21,350 --> 01:31:22,483
Father, you are awesome.

2371
01:31:22,616 --> 01:31:25,800
We can't comprehend even

2372
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,800
a tiny fraction of all the things that you are and all the

2373
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,766
things that you've done and the power that you hold just to speak things into existence.

2374
01:31:32,816 --> 01:31:36,116
And Father, we give you thanks that you've spoken salvation

2375
01:31:36,116 --> 01:31:39,116
into our hearts, that you've

2376
01:31:39,116 --> 01:31:41,583
made it possible for us to have a relationship with you.

2377
01:31:41,633 --> 01:31:42,766
And Father, I pray.

2378
01:31:42,833 --> 01:31:46,500
I pray for everybody listening, that they would turn to you, that you

2379
01:31:46,500 --> 01:31:48,783
would knock on the door of their hearts and awaken them.

2380
01:31:48,833 --> 01:31:50,100
Father, give them another chance.

2381
01:31:50,149 --> 01:31:51,283
yet another chance.

2382
01:31:51,783 --> 01:31:55,066
Father, I know it's your heart that all be saved,

2383
01:31:55,066 --> 01:31:58,300
that I would come to you, and Father, we, we lift up anybody that's

2384
01:31:58,316 --> 01:32:01,366
listening, that, that, that, that they would, they would

2385
01:32:01,366 --> 01:32:03,466
be more aware of you and and turn to you.

2386
01:32:04,233 --> 01:32:07,616
Father, thank you for who you are, that you are, love,

2387
01:32:07,616 --> 01:32:10,616
and kindness and peace and joy, and all the things that our

2388
01:32:10,616 --> 01:32:12,533
hearts need and desire every day.

2389
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,699
And Father, help us to walk in that.

2390
01:32:14,750 --> 01:32:17,983
Help us to understand that our old selves are dead,

2391
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,533
that we're alive and we're brand new creations in you.

2392
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:25,016
that we are in Christ Jesus, that we're not just some

2393
01:32:25,016 --> 01:32:27,649
random part, but we are a part of you now.

2394
01:32:27,716 --> 01:32:30,483
Father, help us to realize that and to walk in it.

2395
01:32:30,533 --> 01:32:32,266
Father bless my brothers here.

2396
01:32:32,333 --> 01:32:35,449
Father, I pray you'll bless their families and the work

2397
01:32:35,449 --> 01:32:37,366
of their hands and every part of their lives.

2398
01:32:37,433 --> 01:32:39,649
And Father bless everybody listening.

2399
01:32:39,716 --> 01:32:43,250
I pray that you would touch each person in a special way.

2400
01:32:43,316 --> 01:32:46,316
And Father, bring us back together here again next

2401
01:32:46,316 --> 01:32:49,850
week to, we can glorify your name again in Jesus' name.

2402
01:32:49,916 --> 01:32:50,583
Amen.

2403
01:32:50,633 --> 01:32:51,116
Amen.
