00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:04.879
You're listening to The Bible Guys,
a podcast where a couple of friends talk

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:12.640
about the Bible in fun in practical
ways. Well, welcome everybody to a

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.039
new episode of The Bible Guys.
And we have with us we as an

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.199
organization, me as an individual.
Right here to my right. It is

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:28.160
the one the only Wesley was.
It is awesome to be here. I'm

6
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.440
filling big shoes. Jeff is gone, Yes, he'll be back soon.

7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.479
Don't you have bigger shoes technically than
him? I think I do? What

8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.280
size of your feet? Fourteen?
Oh yeah, oh, there's no way

9
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.159
comes close to fourteen? Do you
know what size shoes I have? Eleven?

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.039
Oh? No, way guess?
Well, guests really low? Oh

11
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.799
no? Oh yeah? Nine?
Eight and a half? Oh me,

12
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.520
I'm gonna never guess that. Here's
the weird thing. And this is a

13
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.799
little bit of trivia for Chris Arba
that nobody cares about. I had eight

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.240
and a half when I was in
the eighth grade. Yeah, and it's

15
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.240
been eight and a half since eighth
grade. You've been the same size as

16
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.920
eighth grade. That is something.
Yeah. One, I've only got a

17
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.760
pedicure twice in my whole life.
And my wife recently just excuse me for

18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.079
a pedicure. And I went in, I sat down, you know and

19
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.920
pull up my you know, let
you know, my pants, and the

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.760
late lady gets down and she goes, oh no, And I was like,

21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.200
you were not getting a tip,
right, thank you? Question Mark?

22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
Yeah, no, it's not really
a thank you. Hey. Wesley

23
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.319
is filling in because Jeff is gone. He's out of pocket, and so

24
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.640
we're going to have a fantastic time, are we. And so today we're

25
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.040
going to start off with a segment
that Desiree has prepared called law or flaw.

26
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.359
So these are some of the bizarre
state laws that are out there,

27
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.840
even if they're not actually enforced.
And what I'm gonna do is read off

28
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.599
five statements and Wesley's going to decide
whether it's a law or whether it's lying.

29
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.560
It's kind of like true or false. Right. It's going to be

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.239
tough because I know there are some
crazy ones. I flaw means it's just

31
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.040
not true. Okay, are you
ready? Here we go. Okay,

32
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:10.240
here's a one in Alaska it is
illegal to wake a bear for photo opportunities.

33
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:19.120
That's got to be a flaw that
it's real, that's an actual law.

34
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.039
That's an actual law. No,
I'm thinking, like, there's no

35
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.280
way that one's real. Hey,
there's a polar bear. Don't go wake

36
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.439
it up? No, no,
no, no, no, no,

37
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.919
you wake it up right now.
I would exceptance against the law as if

38
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.960
somebody would do that. Yeah.
I can't believe that one was so wild.

39
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.960
Wow. Okay. Number two,
Okay, struck out on that one.

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.599
I know in Oklahoma it is illegal
to make faces at a dog.

41
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.800
I want to say, that's a
flaw, believe it or not, that's

42
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.879
that's a law. No. So
you know what I think they do sometimes.

43
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.960
I think what they do is they
create absurd laws to prevent tragedies because

44
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.919
in both of these cases, you're
antagonizing a bear and you're antagonizing a dog.

45
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.120
Yeah, so they're like, they're
like, hey, listen, let's

46
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.800
just make it a law. How
do you want to word it? Don't

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.719
antagonize? Well, what's the word
antagonized? Well let's go ahead and say

48
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:16.759
you're had a dog. Wow,
all right, here we go. Number

49
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:23.840
three, an organ is illegal to
perform a wedding ceremony at a skating rink.

50
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.319
A who It's illegal to perform a
wedding ceremony at a skating rink.

51
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.280
An organ I'm going to say,
that's got to be false. It's a

52
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.240
law. Oh man, I am
striking out bad. You're over three,

53
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:47.080
baby in number four in Kansas.
Okay. So we've had a Laska Oklahoma

54
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.840
orgon Kansas. In Kansas, it
is illegal to eat cherry pie with a

55
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.000
scoop of ice cream. So because
I got the other one's wrong, I'm

56
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.159
going to go the other way on
this one. I'm going to say that's

57
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.639
true. It is true. Okay, I had no idea, but just

58
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.439
since I was zero in three,
I'm like, let's switch it up and

59
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.120
go the other direction. Dude,
I don't even want to live in Kansas.

60
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah, you can't have ice cream
with pie. Do you know that

61
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.199
my favorite pie is cherry pie?
Okay? Yeah? And uh and I

62
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:21.560
always like Ala mode. So if
that's illegal, I don't want to be

63
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.360
in Kansas. I think there are
a lot of people breaking laws in Kansas

64
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.800
right now. I think my future
son of law lives in Kansas. My

65
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.399
daughter is flying to Kansas to go
see him Monday, and I'm going to

66
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.319
tell her. I'm gonna say don't
you dare. Yeah, you're going to

67
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:41.160
gym, you dare have a piece
of cherry pie. Put a scoop of

68
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.199
ice cream on it. Wow,
that is so crazy. Okay, number

69
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.199
five here, it is the last
one. This is the last one.

70
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.560
All right, see if you can
get what is it? Forty thirty?

71
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:54.959
Yeah? Doing too good? Right
now? All right? In Tennessee,

72
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:01.399
it is illegal to catch a fish
with a lasso. Now, I know

73
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.959
there are fishing laws in different states
on how you can catch fish. I

74
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.079
don't know about the lasso, but
I'm just going to air on the side

75
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.480
it could be true. It's true, yeah, because I know different states

76
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.399
have laws. So desire picked five
laws. Okay, just to psyche you

77
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.800
out. Yeah, right, but
in Tennessee it is illegal to catch a

78
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.319
fish with a lasso. Okay,
I mean, do you have many lassoing

79
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.360
people in Tennessee? Probably not today, you don't, right, I mean

80
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.959
maybe one hundred years ago everybody was
a lasso person. Yeah. I know

81
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.800
some states have the net where you
can't use a net to catch catch fish.

82
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.920
I know some states have that to
prevent overfishing and stuff like that.

83
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.279
But wow, yeah, I did
not know that. I'm not a fisher

84
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.600
fishermen, so uh, I would
not know that. Wows these are crazy

85
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.079
laws. Yeah wow, I have
to tell Desi Ration, you really stumped

86
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.879
me on that one. Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you what you You

87
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.279
did not come out of the gate, Well, West I did not.

88
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.480
If we could have had like ABCD, I could have just done the aba

89
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.639
kadaba. Yeah, you just pick
that way, so Bundy. Wow,

90
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.040
oh my goodness, curcious. Okay. Our scripture for today is Exodus chapter

91
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.519
twenty nine versus thirty seven through forty
two. Yeah, so let me let

92
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.439
me remind a little bit of a
review viewers, right, body. So

93
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.920
basically, the children of Israel,
they just get delivered out of slavery.

94
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.240
After four hundred years. Moses brings
them across the Red Sea. They're finally

95
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.120
free. They go to Mount Sinai. That's where they're at, and and

96
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.839
God is establishing all kinds of rules
and says, hey, you'll be my

97
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.199
people, you'll be my special people. I'll be your God, and these

98
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.279
are the things that I want you
to obey. And so the first thing

99
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.680
that he says is he says,
here's a bunch of laws he iss in

100
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.839
the Ten Commandments, and he's about
to give them more commandments later, but

101
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.959
as of right now, they have
the Big ten. And then he says,

102
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.319
here's what I want you to do. I want you to build a

103
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.079
taberna. And this tabernacle would be
very specific. It's not made out of

104
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.759
stone like Solomon's Temple or Herritage temple. It was made out of a very

105
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:14.879
fine fabric, but it was woven
with gold, silver and colors, and

106
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.920
it was very very thick, and
it was durable. And inside the tabernacle

107
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:25.680
he described the Holy of Holies,
and again Solomon's temple would have it later

108
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.000
on. But and here he goes
through, and here's the section that we're

109
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.839
in. Now he's going through and
he says, the first thing I want

110
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.120
you to do is build the ark
of the Covenant. That I want you

111
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:38.759
to build the table of showbread.
I want you to place a lamp stand.

112
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.360
Here's my plans for the tabernacle,
for the altars, for the burnt

113
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.439
offerings. He says, okay,
here's my plans for the courtyard. And

114
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.839
you know, outsiders can come in
only so far, and then insiders can

115
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.120
come even further, and only the
priests can come all the way and then

116
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.720
he says, there's light for the
tabernacle, and so there's going to be

117
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.319
like candlestick with a candle ober.
And then there's clothing, and here's I

118
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.800
want you to dress for the clothing
of the priests, and then the designs

119
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.560
of them, and oh my goodness, gracious, they are so specific.

120
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.399
But Chris, here's the thing.
I love the fact that God is a

121
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.279
specific God, that he's into the
details. And the part that I love

122
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.800
about that is as it relates to
us in our interaction with God, the

123
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:24.399
fact that He is detailed, oriented
with us, with every aspect of our

124
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.920
lives. So I just love that
part about God, how he's not this

125
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.399
generalized being where he just looks at
everything from a general perspective. No,

126
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.480
he's literally into how things should be
woven and built and put a covering over

127
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.480
this. And yeah, so I
love that you got we already have a

128
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.879
sermon just in the review, Yeah, right, which is excellent. I

129
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.440
preach that Sunday. So and by
the way, I'm only mentioning these things

130
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.559
because we've skipped over some of them. So he gives specific designs and the

131
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:00.000
chess piece, additional clothing for priests
and then the dedication of the priests,

132
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.639
excuse me, And then today we're
going to pick up with the sacrifice.

133
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.919
Yeah. Right, And so we're
reading Actuallyus chapter twenty nine, verses thirty

134
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.799
seven through forty two. Right,
yes, and Chris, can I toss

135
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.600
one thing in? Yeah, just
with our prayer life. The thing that

136
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.960
I get out of this even before
we begin reading the fact that God is

137
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.320
a detailed God. When we pray
to God, we should be detailed,

138
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.720
you know, stop going to God
with these generalized prayers where you just pray

139
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.679
God, I want to I want
a job that sounds great. But if

140
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.679
you get a job that has great
benefits where you're working in a sewage plant,

141
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.639
nothing against people that work in sewage
plants, right, but you work

142
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.879
in a sewage plant, you can't
complain because your prayer was for a good

143
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:54.639
job and God gave you a good
job with benefits. So be detailed and

144
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.879
specific about what you want from the
Father God. I want that job,

145
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.639
yeah, right. And so because
sometimes you'll get a job that maybe can

146
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.919
conflict with your morals, yeah,
or a job that I'll work you on

147
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159
Sundays, yeah, or too many
hours in general, and so yeah,

148
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.039
I do believe that God wants us
to pray specific and he wants us to

149
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.279
pray big and all. Throughout the
scripture, Jesus reminds us of that it's

150
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.480
like praying for a spouse. If
you're looking for a spouse, God just

151
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.279
give me any old person. Well, don't complain, if you know,

152
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.039
if you want to be happy for
any rest of your life, ever,

153
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.200
make a pretty woman your wife.
Go man. So all right, so

154
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.360
here we go, Here we go. Exodus twenty nine thirty seven through forty

155
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.480
two. It says, purify the
altar and consecrate it every day for seven

156
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:45.840
days. After that the altar will
be absolutely holy, and whatever touches it

157
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.480
will become holy. Which, by
the way, it's kind of interesting you

158
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.000
talk about specifics. Yeah, seven
days. I mean that's that's more than

159
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.080
my wife sanitizes the kitchen. Yeah
right, and that's a lot. And

160
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.919
we'll talk about the holiness later.
But wow, that is amazing already.

161
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.159
Yeah, every day for seven days. Then it goes on. In verse

162
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.720
thirty eight, it says, these
are the sacrifices you are to offer regularly

163
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.679
on the altar. Each day.
Offer two lambs that are a year old.

164
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.600
One in the morning and the other
in the evening, with one of

165
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.480
them offer two quarts of choice flour
mixed with one quart of pure oil or

166
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.840
pressed olives. Also offer one quart
of wine as a liquid offering. Verse

167
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.919
forty one. Offer the other lamb
in the evening, along with the same

168
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.679
offerings of flour and wine as in
the morning. It will be a pleasing

169
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.159
aroma, a special gift presented to
the Lord. These burnt offerings are to

170
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.519
be made each day from generation to
generation. Offer them in the Lord's presence

171
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.519
at the tabernacle entrance. There,
I will meet you and speak with you.

172
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.879
That is very specific. Yes,
and look, look there's a promise

173
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.639
that is attached to everything, right
and he says, there, I will

174
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.279
meet you and speak with you.
And h and by the way, that

175
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.759
that reminds us that keep in mind, you know how that relates to today

176
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.399
is that God has an address right
all the way up until Jesus Christ died

177
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.519
on the cross, God had an
address and and this this was where God

178
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.519
was, which is why you couldn't
walk into the Holy of Holies, not

179
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.679
just anybody a preach can only enter
in once a year. He couldn't have

180
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.279
any sinful thoughts, which is why
they tied a rope to his ankle,

181
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.639
because if he were to fall and
die, they'd have to drag him out.

182
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.639
There was a bell attached to his
garments, just to you know,

183
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.759
so that they could know that he's
alive, and he would ring it every

184
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.159
now and then. But anyway,
the point is is that so here here

185
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.399
we have an invitation. Right,
he says, come jump to these hoops.

186
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.320
And again I'm I'm sort of saying
that tongue in cheek. It's it's

187
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.279
really obey these commands, right,
Obey these commands and their commands of sacrifice

188
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.159
and their commands of repentance. And
and he says, and then I will

189
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.559
meet you, and I will I
will talk with you. Well, isn't

190
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.879
it wonderful today that in Hebrews chapter
four, I think it's verse number twelve,

191
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.120
it says, now, because Jesus
died, and because the veil was

192
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.240
ripped into that separated the holy holies
from everybody else. And the veil was

193
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.320
ripped and which was impossible as a
very thick veil, and it fell to

194
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.519
the ground. God rushed out from
that address. And now the Bible tells

195
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.000
us that God is in us.
We are in Christ. But then Christ

196
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.440
is in us. There is no
longer that separation between humanity and divinity,

197
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.200
right, right, and so now
we can talk with God. So this

198
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:41.039
really special moment that God is This
is the first time that God is describing

199
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.200
these types of moments. And so
think about the privilege that you and I

200
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.399
have every day. So Hebrews four
to twelve says, now, meaning since

201
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.799
Jesus died, now we can come
boldly before the throne, right, and

202
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.320
we can approach the throne with confidence, with grace and confidence. So think

203
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.279
about that, like, you know, up to this point, don't you

204
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.120
dare, don't you dare? It's
forbidden, it's forbidden that all of a

205
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.840
sudden, the writer of Hebrew says, no, no, no, no,

206
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.360
no. Now, yeah, we
can approach the throne of God with

207
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.639
confidence, you know, just knowing
that because of Jesus Christ covering our sins,

208
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.480
we no longer have to be fearful
of having a sinful thought and being

209
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.879
struck down in God's presence, because
our sins are paid for, our sins

210
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.639
are forgiven. Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, that's absolutely amazing. The thing

211
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.799
that's interesting to me years ago,
you could have been killed going before a

212
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.840
king unannounced, right, That's something
that you didn't do. If anyone knows

213
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.159
the story of Esther, that kind
of plays into it a little bit there

214
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.919
where she went unannounced before the king
and it turned out good for her.

215
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.639
But that's something you did not do. You didn't just show up, Hey,

216
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.120
King, how's it going. But
the fact that in the New Testament,

217
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.759
like you referenced, we can and
I love the verbage there. It

218
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.200
didn't say we could just go go
into the presence of God, we could

219
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.799
come before the throne. It said
we could go boldly before the throne.

220
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.039
And I think, Chris, that's
something to remember when we fall short and

221
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.360
make mistakes in our life. Sometimes
we make mistakes, and the first thing

222
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.919
that the enemy will try to do
is guilt you into separating yourself from God.

223
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.320
Because people don't want to go to
church yet, they don't want to

224
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.840
pray, they don't want to seek
the face of God, they don't want

225
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.960
to ask for forgiveness, they don't
want to go to church. They don't

226
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.759
want to do any of those things. And God is saying in his word,

227
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.600
do the reverse of that. Yeah, I want you to run boldly

228
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.720
to me when you miss the mark
and when you mess up, because I

229
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.519
love you, I'll give you grace, I'll forgive you. So I think

230
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.240
that's powerful. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And so let's go back

231
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.759
to the very beginning here that the
verse thirty seven talks about the the fact

232
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.519
that God is holy. And there's
a note for the Life Application Study Bible,

233
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.559
which we always promote, and here's
how it says. Notice the overwhelming

234
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:06.519
emphasis on the holiness of God.
The priests, the clothes, the tabernacle,

235
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.840
and the sacrifices had to be clean
and consecrated, prepared to meet God.

236
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.960
In contrast, today we tend to
take God for granted, rushing into

237
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:21.879
worship and treating him with almost casual
disregard. But we worship the almighty creator

238
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.799
and sustainer of the universe. Remember
that profound truth when you pray or worship

239
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.320
and come before Him with reverence and
repentance. And you know what, sometimes

240
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.080
in the modern church we do lack
that, don't we. So you know,

241
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.120
it's interesting because we go to a
church where you wear jeanes and you

242
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.840
know, and we do that because
we want to reach those who are far

243
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.720
from God. We want to reach
those who are the average everyday blue collar

244
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.240
worker in our area. And that's
why we choose to do what we do.

245
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.840
And so we have facilities that aren't
necessarily stained glassed and you know,

246
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.679
filled with crucifixes and things like that. But there's nothing wrong with that.

247
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.519
And I mentioned to Jeff, like
I think a couple of podcasts ago that

248
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.319
I think that sometimes we can stand
to have a little bit more of that,

249
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:08.960
you know what I mean, which
is why I like Good Friday.

250
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.319
I think that Good Friday is one
of my favorite services of the entire year.

251
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.559
You know, a lot for that
reason, Right, we don't take

252
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:23.039
the time necessarily to really focus on
Jesus' death. Buryln resurrection. Here's death,

253
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.759
it's crucifixion. Is the price that
he paid, right, And there's

254
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.400
a lot of reverence to you know, saying God, you're holy, I'm

255
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:36.440
not you are worthy, I'm not
you paid the price for me. I'm

256
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.680
a wretched sinner. There's a value
in that reverence, I think. So

257
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.839
that's awesome. Yeah, So here's
what's really interesting. I pulled this up

258
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.960
from we actually touched on this at
the church that we both go to,

259
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.119
Heritage Church on Palm Sunday. But
in Nextodus twenty nine, this is the

260
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.880
first time that he says, these
are the sacrifices that you were to offer

261
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.799
regularly on the altar every day offered
two lambs that are a year old.

262
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:11.720
Now, when the Passover feast is
established, there's a tradition there where Jesus

263
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.640
had come in. So many fast
forward to the New Testament. You know,

264
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.559
we all know that Jesus entered in
on Palm Sunday, right, And

265
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.599
a lot of times I think some
of us get confused because we confuse the

266
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:30.119
Passover meal with the Passover week.
Right. Jesus came in on Palm Sunday

267
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.480
because it was the first day that
celebrated the festival of the Passover, and

268
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.960
the Passover took place on Thursday,
right, So the Passover meal was something

269
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.480
that every Jewish boy in the New
Testament, and by the way, still

270
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.440
do good Jewish boys today once a
year observed the Passover meal. It's very

271
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.319
specific. Right, We've already covered
that in our podcast. But Jesus came

272
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.240
in on Sunday on purpose because every
day he fulfilled scriptures, he went down

273
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.720
the line. Just every day he
was doing something fulfilling scriptures, even writing

274
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.640
on a donkey fulfilled scriptures. And
then when he comes up to Thursday,

275
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.119
you know, people are there.
There's over a million people in Jerusalem.

276
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:15.279
They've come from all over they're celebrating
the Passover meal. Well, the temple

277
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.359
was a very busy place, and
people would go on Sunday and Monday and

278
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.400
Tuesday and Wednesday, and they would
offer daily sacrifices, right, and they

279
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.319
would choose you know, lambs on
behalf of their family. And let me

280
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:33.119
just toss this in, Chris,
what was the significance of the sacrifice daily?

281
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.039
What was that supposed to do well? Daily? Meaning there's a lot

282
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.799
of different families that they have to
get through. But these families would offer

283
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:47.119
a sacrifice in many cases once a
year and they would bring it to the

284
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:52.640
temple and they would offer it to
represent the payment for the sins, because

285
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.599
you know, Hebrews even tells us, without shedding of blood, there's no

286
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.519
forgiveness of sins, there's no remission
of sins, right, and so before

287
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.160
the cross us, they would have
to have a sacrifice as demonstrated you know

288
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.000
in the garden when God had to
kill an animal to cover up Adam and

289
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.599
Eve. That was the first,
you know, foreshadowing of Jesus dying on

290
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.000
the cross. There had to be
the shedding of blood. For the forgiveness

291
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.400
of sins. There has to be
death. Why because the scripture says for

292
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.440
the payment of sin is death right. But then we live under Jesus,

293
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.279
so it says, but the free
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus

294
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.960
Christ, our Lord. Who's the
lamb of God. Well, anyway,

295
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.559
let's go back to Axos twenty nine. So here it tells us, you

296
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.000
know, hey, there has to
be a lamb, has to be without

297
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.000
blemish, without spot. We know
that Jesus was without blemish, without sin,

298
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:44.160
and that's where the phrase lamb of
God comes from from this Old Testament

299
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.880
reference where God says each day offer
two lambs, and God was very specific

300
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.519
on that it had to be without
spot or blemish. So Jesus had to

301
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.200
exemplify all of those things, yes, for it to be an acceptable sacrifice

302
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:03.400
before God. So think about this. So the parallel of what we're reading

303
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.559
today in Exosus twenty nine is that
one day, right, you know,

304
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.279
thousands of years later, God was
sent his only son and he would be

305
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.599
the fulfillment of every single detail.
We talked about how God is full of

306
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:22.799
details. Well, Jesus fulfilled prophecy
after prophecy and every single thing that he

307
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:27.880
did, you know, just detail
after detail. And so here's what's interesting.

308
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.880
It says, offer one in the
morning, and offer one in the

309
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.240
evening. Let me crouse reference a
little bit and read from Isaiah chapter fifty

310
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:42.000
three, verses three through seven.
Even seven hundred and something years before Jesus

311
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:49.319
came on the scene, the prophet
Isaiah basically predicted that he would be the

312
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:55.640
ultimate lamb sacrifice. So he says
this, he was despised and rejected by

313
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.640
mankind, a man of suffering,
a man familiar with pain, like one

314
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.880
from whom people hide their faces.
He was despised, and we now held

315
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.799
him in low esteem. Surely he
took up our pain and bore our suffering,

316
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.160
and yet we considered him punished by
God, stricken by him and afflicted.

317
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:17.079
But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities.

318
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.599
The punishment that brought us peace was
on him. And by his wounds

319
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.039
we are healed. We all,
like sheep, have gone astray. Each

320
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.359
one of us have turned our own
way, and the Lord has laid on

321
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.599
him the iniquity of us. All. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet

322
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.920
he did not open his mouth.
And then here it makes the direct correlation.

323
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.680
He was led like a lamb to
the slaughter, and as a sheep

324
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.119
is before its shearers, is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

325
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:51.160
So here's the remarkable thing about the
specifics is that one of the most

326
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.519
remarkable things about the time that Jesus
was crucified on Friday or on Friday,

327
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:03.400
is that after the Passover meal was
observed in the community the next day on

328
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.079
Friday. It was a yearly tradition. It was actually established right here in

329
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:12.039
Exodus twenty nine and also in Numbers
twenty eight. On the Friday of Passover,

330
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:17.039
there was a sacrifice that took place
in the temple known as the perpetual

331
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:21.920
sacrifice, or known as the tumid
Okay, and it was commanded that a

332
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.200
lamb with that blemish spot would be
sacrificed twice a day, which according to

333
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.759
Jewish sources outside of the Bible,
took place once in the morning and once

334
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.440
in the evening. And there are
secular recordings that record that the first sacrifice

335
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.960
took place at nine am and the
other one at three pm. Now,

336
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:44.200
the reason why those are morning and
evening is because the Jewish calendar starts at

337
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.799
six am. So we think we
think of our days as midnight, right,

338
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.119
but the Jewish calendar starts at six
am, So at nine am that's

339
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.480
really three hours into the morning.
And so it says once at nine am

340
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.200
in the morning, and then once
in the evening at three pm, which

341
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:06.000
is right, three hours just before
sundown, which is considered evening. Okay,

342
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.720
So and they did that because it
was still light out right. They

343
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.640
couldn't wait. They couldn't wait until
sundown. Now here's why it's so significant.

344
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:21.240
It is because goodness gracious, this
goofy thing my phone is so goofy.

345
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:29.279
Is because tad Gummet can't believe it
auto rotate. Yes, it says,

346
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.759
Mark includes the details of what time
of day Jesus was crucified. So

347
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.839
did you know that it actually says
in Mark fifteen twenty five, it was

348
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.160
nine in the morning when they crucified
Jesus. So it was at that time

349
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.519
that the first sacrificial lamb of the
Perpetual sacrifice was being slaughtered in the temple.

350
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.400
And so do you realize that the
other sacrifices before the Passover feast,

351
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:59.799
those were for individual families. But
this one, the perpetual sacrifice or the

352
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.599
tow need, was actually given by
the priests on Friday, after the Passover

353
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.960
feast was done, after all the
families were represented. This was the lamb

354
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:12.720
that represented the whole community. So
this one lamb represented the sins of the

355
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:18.640
whole nation, which were everybody under
God's care. Well, we know now

356
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.640
because of Jesus that his sacrifice wasn't
just for Jews but for gentiles. Right,

357
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.480
So it's like here, what we're
reading was a short term fix,

358
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.880
yes, for humanity. Yes,
Jesus dying on the cross was the permanent

359
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.000
God's permanent fix for humanity sin,
which is amazing. Now, not only

360
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.960
is it amazing that it happens at
three in the morning or nine in the

361
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:44.160
morning, but at three in the
afternoon. It actually, it says in

362
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.480
Mark, at three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out with a loud voice,

363
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.079
eloi, eloi, lamasabahtani, which
means, my God, my God,

364
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.119
why have you forsaken me? And
so it was at that time that

365
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:57.279
it says that Jesus gave his final
breath and died. So they started crucifying

366
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:03.640
him at the time that was happening
right over yonder right, So he's on

367
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.200
the cross outside the city walls.
Inside the city walls is the temple,

368
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.119
and they're sacrificing the sins that represent
the nation, and at the same time

369
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.480
they're sacrificing the sins of the nation. Jesus was killed exactly at three in

370
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.599
the morning, and he gives up
the ghost exactly at three pm, nine

371
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.680
in the morning, three pm.
So if you don't think that God cares

372
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.160
about you and he doesn't know the
details of your life, yeah, he

373
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.279
knows the hairs on your head.
Yeah, he is down. He is

374
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.319
down to the very minute. And
it looks like I rambled on too long.

375
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.200
Now, this is good stuff.
We could talk about this all day,

376
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.920
We really could. So that is
definitely our time, and so we'll

377
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.920
pick up tomorrow on the Bible.
