WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.680 You're listening to the Bible Guys, a podcast where a 2 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.440 couple of friends talk about the Bible in fun, in 3 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:13.599 practical ways. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Bible Guys. We 4 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:14.919 are the Bible Guys. 5 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:16.120 Chris and Jeff. 6 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.320 Yes, that's us. This is Chris and that's Jeff. 7 00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:19.600 Yeah. 8 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.440 Because it would have been weird if they tuned into 9 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.640 the Bible Guys and got like Joe Rogan or somebody. 10 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.719 Yeah right, and they would have been perhaps a lot 11 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.079 more successful in terms of listen, more interesting, more interesting, right, 12 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.399 but not more important, darn it right, because the Word 13 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.079 of God there it is, drop the mic. Hey, we 14 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.240 are going to start off with an interesting segment. Actually, 15 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.320 in fact, it's definitely something we've never done. 16 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:44.640 Yeah, I don't know what to do with this one. 17 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.439 Because I read the headline. 18 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.560 I could take lead on it, and you do it 19 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.840 and most see Chris. So okay, So here's first of all, 20 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.119 we have to explain why Desire is choosing this segment 21 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.439 because David, who is you know, in our chronological walking 22 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.840 through the Old test order of doing that those things, 23 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.799 David has just now assumed the throne because well he's 24 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.680 about tomorrow. Tomorrow you just ruined tomorrow. Okay, I'm saying 25 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.400 in the story, Saul dies dies. Everybody knows David's king. Okay, 26 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.799 So anyway, the point is is that, Okay, Saul, excuse me, 27 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:25.200 David writes psalms all the way through his life, and 28 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.519 and so this psalm that we're going to be reading 29 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.959 today has a connection to this point juncture in the story. 30 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.640 So because of that, here's what Desre said. She's writing 31 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.840 a segment called your own psalm as we were walking 32 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.439 through the New Testament. It's the Old Testament. Oh, that's 33 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.280 so funny. She wrote New Testament as we are walking 34 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.560 through the Old Testament. We have come to the point 35 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.040 recently where we match up Psalms with what's going on 36 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.200 in First and Second Samuel. If you were to write 37 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.239 your own psalm, what would yours be about? Now? Tell 38 00:01:59.239 --> 00:01:59.680 me why you. 39 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.879 Don't know what to do with this, because I never 40 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.640 contemplated writing my own psalm? 41 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.799 I know, right. Well, you said something really cool yesterday. 42 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.879 You said, don't build theology. And this was on another 43 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.599 another record. Yeah, you said don't build theology on Psalms. 44 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.879 By because it's not a doctrinal book. It's it's a 45 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.680 heartfelt book. It's it's written from his life experiences. It's 46 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.479 not a book that God uses to build theology as 47 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.159 much as it is to just expose the fact that 48 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.560 He delights in people bringing their heart, their heartfelt feelings 49 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:32.879 to him. 50 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:33.280 Right. 51 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.599 So you got both arts, and then you have prayers, 52 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.000 prayers and things, because every psalm is a prayer, yeah. 53 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.360 Right, And and David sometimes would pray things that you know, 54 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.360 that were in his heart that weren't necessarily grow man. 55 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.400 So there's a term called imprecatory imprecatory prayers. 56 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.120 And this is when David would pray that God would kill. 57 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.639 His enemies, right, and he's praying, like, like horrible things. 58 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.159 God grind their teeth, cover them and boil erase their 59 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.719 name from from the earth. Not only their name, destroyed 60 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.639 them and their children. I mean, it's pretty horrible some 61 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.599 of the things he praised, which is why God's not endorsing. 62 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.280 Them, right, We don't build theology on that. 63 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:12.400 That's right. 64 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.199 God's not endorsing those prayers. God's just saying this is 65 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.400 how he prayed, right, and He's just pouring out his 66 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.800 heart to me, right, That's what, which. 67 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.159 Is why we know that again, that's why God encourages 68 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.840 us to bring all of our you know, we may 69 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.199 think wrong things, we're frustrated, we're angry, we could be 70 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.439 angry even angry with Him, right and God would God 71 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.479 would say, hey, God never gets mad, well never rebukes 72 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.080 anyway for people bringing their questions or their anger to him. 73 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.159 So that's a good example anyway. So, David, as he's 74 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.520 writing psalms. 75 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.240 So you're supposed to write your own psalm or to 76 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.840 give us, give us a summary of a psalm that 77 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:51.879 would be written about you. 78 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.560 I have a story. It's it's not it's not about me, Okay, 79 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.159 it's a it's a story of somebody doing just this, 80 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.759 So believe it or not. I did this like thirty 81 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.439 an exercise where where I taught Psalm twenty three. Now, 82 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.240 almost everybody who's listening, if they have grown up at 83 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.319 all in church world, they know Psalm twenty three. At 84 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.919 least they've heard it. Right. Shepherd, the Lord is my shepherd. 85 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.400 I shall not be in need. He makes me lie 86 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.680 down in green pastures. He you know, he astores my soul, 87 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.480 restores my soul. He leads me besides still waters. He 88 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.279 restores my soul so anyway, these all mean something to 89 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.839 an actual shepherd, right, So I'm not going to go 90 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.240 into it, but basically, it's like, you know, he leads 91 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.959 me beside still waters, means sheep can't drink from a 92 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.519 running water. You know. He makes me lie down in 93 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.079 green pastures, He forces me to chew my own cut, 94 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.439 all these different things, you know, and it means like 95 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.519 the shepherd knows what's best. The shepherd will provide all 96 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.120 these different things. Right. So I walked through all six 97 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.519 verses and I said, here's really what all six verses means. 98 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.560 I said, Now, a shepherd would definitely do a comparison. 99 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.879 You know, he could write these concepts of God through 100 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.399 this parable. You know, this this metaphor of a shepherd. 101 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.000 I said, But here's what you're gonna do. You're going 102 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.680 to break up. This is my youth group. I said, 103 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.560 you're going to break up into different groups, and you're 104 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.720 going to rewrite the Psalms. I said, you guys are 105 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.680 going to write the Psalms as football players. I said, 106 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.279 you guys are going to write Psalm twenty three as cheerleaders. 107 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.920 And I said, you guys are going to write Psalm 108 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.879 twenty three as rednecks because granted, give me a little 109 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.399 umbrella of grace. I lived in Atlanta, right, And then 110 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.519 you guys are going to live or we write Psalm 111 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.079 twenty three and I did another category anyway, So we 112 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.560 went all the way around the room and then they 113 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.079 wrote them and then they presented them. I don't remember 114 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.199 all of them, but I do remember a few lines 115 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.839 from every category, and it was like, uh to the 116 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.040 football players were like, the Lord is my coach, right, 117 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.680 I shall never I shall I shall never fear the 118 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.199 whistle or something like this, right, And I remember it 119 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.399 says like I remember that these were football players who 120 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.079 wrote it, and they said something like, yeah, he creates 121 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.000 a whole big enough for a mac truck for me 122 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.600 to me for me to go through, right. And then 123 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.279 and then it was like and then I remember at 124 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.519 the very end, he says I will score touchdowns and 125 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.399 I will live in the Hall of Fame forever. Right, 126 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.040 And I remember thinking like that is amazing, right, because 127 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.759 it's so close to what David did. And what he's 128 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.000 really doing is he's talking about the greatness of God, 129 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.040 and he's talking about how God is able to do 130 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.399 great things and this and to be honest, I don't 131 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.920 think it's sacrilegious. I think it's just an exercise in 132 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.839 saying we can also use. 133 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.480 Metaphors to make the supply of my life. 134 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:33.120 Yeah, yeah, okay. So here's my very favorite line of 135 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.560 all of the It was the red Neck lines. Okay, 136 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.000 and and it says, and I remember how this starts, 137 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.720 I'll never forget it. It was the red neck version, 138 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.680 and the first line was the lord is my watch 139 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.560 dog named Bubba, and he barks with strangers. And I 140 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.399 just thought to myself, that was one of the funniest 141 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.959 things I've ever heard in my life. He barks as 142 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.040 strangers means he protects me, right, It's so funny. And 143 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.839 then and it was I will of course, it was 144 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.560 I would dwell in the trailer trailer park forever. And 145 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.480 then I remember another line in that one, and it's 146 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.560 my spit cup runneth over. Oh no, I was like, no, 147 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.120 you didn't know. That's the part I didn't like, right, 148 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.720 It was like boom, but h but anyway, but they 149 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.040 hit their teenagers, right, So they did all that, and uh, 150 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.439 And I got to tell you, I thought it was 151 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:28.000 an incredible exercise, even for young minds to say, this 152 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.959 is what David did. He talked about the greatness of God, 153 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.759 the provision of God, you know, the security that we 154 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.720 feel our dependence upon God through these metaphors. Yeah, right, 155 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.399 And so that was an exercise on writing our own songs. 156 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.160 Well, there's a there's a lot of value in taking 157 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.480 the scriptures and understanding. First of all, you understand who's 158 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.839 he talking to? Right, So whatever passage, who's this passage 159 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.519 being written to or for? What are the general facts 160 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.199 of that story? And then you begin to look for principles? 161 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.480 What what principles? Why would God include that in the 162 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.240 Bible for me today? And does it apply to me? 163 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.720 And then if it does, how's apply to me? That's 164 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.240 essentially you know, so you and I then we're asking 165 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.560 questions in our minds as we read through these passages. 166 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.920 What is this passage telling us about God? What's it 167 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.399 telling us about people? Is there some kind of a 168 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.160 command to obey or a promise to claim? Is there 169 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.319 something we should do as a result of this? How 170 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.839 does it apply? And that's all you were teaching those 171 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.639 young people to do, is to take a passage and 172 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:27.120 figure out. 173 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.879 How to put it into their world. Right. 174 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.440 And that's all we try to do every day with 175 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.039 the Bible, guys, is to take passages of scripture, answer 176 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.240 a few key questions. 177 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:39.840 What does it say about God? What does it say 178 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:40.240 about me? 179 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:40.480 Was? 180 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:41.120 You know? 181 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.279 What should I do as a result of these things? 182 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.399 And that I think is the best way to read 183 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.759 the Bible is not just to read it for the 184 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.879 factual things that are on the page, but also to 185 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.679 get the facts, understand them, understand the context of those facts, 186 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.639 but then extrapolate principles that apply to for a century lifestyle. 187 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.960 So yeah, well we are in a good job. Chris, 188 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.360 Thank you, Thank you, buddy, thank you. I'm not sure 189 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.960 that we followed the entire spirit of what she intended 190 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.639 for that segment. 191 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.759 I don't think so either, but that was as close 192 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.080 as I can get to fulfilling her desire. 193 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.639 So David writes these psalms, and psalms are prayers that 194 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.600 he put to music, So he's a musician. He's a 195 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.960 man after God's own heart, so he's walking with God. 196 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.759 Those I think are the best worship songs, our prayers. 197 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.559 If you think a lot of the songs we sing 198 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.279 on Sunday morning, they really are either boy, God, thank 199 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.080 you for blessing me. 200 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.679 Or God, I trust you, or You're a big God, 201 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.440 You're a good God. 202 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.960 Right, they're prayers essentially that we have that we set 203 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:48.720 to music, and so David writes these different prayers. Sometimes 204 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.799 he's writing, kill my enemies. We already talked about that. 205 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.879 Sometimes he's saying, God deliver me. Sometimes he's saying, God, 206 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.039 You're just so good and he's celebrating and it's just 207 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.799 some kind of big celebration about how good God is. 208 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.720 Other times I feel like I'm going to die and 209 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.960 needs you to help me. Sometimes he's confessing sin. You know, 210 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.759 search me, o, God, know my heart, see if there's 211 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.279 any wicked way in me. He's confessing his sin. And 212 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.720 then sometimes he's just making declarations about what he sees 213 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.519 about the character the person of God. P. One ten 214 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.440 is a unique one because he's talking about the Messiah 215 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.559 in the future. It's the most quoted psalm in the 216 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.559 New Testament. So that's where as we're reading Psalm one 217 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.360 ten and it says the Lord said, to my Lord, 218 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.080 sit in the place of honor at my right hand 219 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.240 until I humble your enemies, making them a. 220 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.440 Footstool under your feet. 221 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.720 The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem, and 222 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.159 you will rule over your enemies. When you go to war, 223 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.960 your people will serve you willingly. You are rayed in 224 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.879 holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day 225 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.559 like the morning do. The Lord has taken an oath 226 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.600 and will not break his vow. You are a priest 227 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.919 forever in the order of Melchizedek. The Lord stands at 228 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.639 your right hand to protect you, and he will strike 229 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.480 down many kings. When his anger erupts. He will punish 230 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.720 the nations and fill their lands with corpses. He will 231 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.679 shatter heads over the whole earth, but he himself will 232 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.440 be refreshed from brooks along the way. 233 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.600 He will be victorious. 234 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.480 And out of all the psalms which are there there, 235 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.960 you know, there's what one hundred and fifty of them. Yes, 236 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:21.440 you know this. You would think that something like Psalm 237 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.960 twenty three would be you know, quoted more right, But 238 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.720 this doesn't seem to be something that we hear a 239 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.080 lot of messages on. You know, there are definite references, right, 240 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.720 like the priesthood of Melchizedek. I've heard that, you know, 241 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.919 I've heard, but you know the famous quote is really 242 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:44.159 verse number one, right, so it says this the life 243 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.000 application study Bible says, many people have a vague belief 244 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.039 in God but refuse to accept Jesus as anything more 245 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.679 than a great human teacher. But the Bible does not 246 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.639 allow that option. Both the Old and New Testaments proclaimed 247 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.960 the deity of the one who came to save us. 248 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.399 In say to Ragin, Jesus explained that the psalm spoke 249 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.919 of the Messiah, which he's referring to this psalm as 250 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.519 greater than David, Israel's greatest King that is found in 251 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.480 Mark twelve, and it is also something that Peter's quoted 252 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.559 in Acts chapter number two. Peter used this Psalm to 253 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.799 show that Jesus the Messiah said at God's right hand 254 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.879 and his Lord overall. So you can't straddle the fence, 255 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.039 it says, calling Jesus just a good teacher, because the 256 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.679 Bible clearly calls him Lord. 257 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:30.559 Right. 258 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.320 Which one do you have to read? Mark or X? 259 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.480 I was looking up Matthew twenty two. 260 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.759 Oh yeah, yeah, okay, well let me look up Mark 261 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:47.279 chapter twelve, Mark Chapter twelve, verse number thirty five. Do 262 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.399 you want to read yours? 263 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.000 Well? 264 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.919 So before we got into Mark twelve and Act two. 265 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.559 Jesus quotes this in Matthew chapter twenty two, where he's 266 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.799 challenging them with regard to if this is talking about 267 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.240 the son of David, the Messiah's son of David, then 268 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.039 why does this say that? The Lord said to my lord? Right, 269 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.799 why call my lord? So that's interesting, that was the 270 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.120 challenge there, and then he also quotes it Revelation six 271 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.000 through nine. It shows up multiple times. Christ reign on 272 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.000 Earth is in Revelation chapter twenty, has priestly worked for 273 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.200 his people, has found in Hebrews five chapters five through eight, 274 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.559 and then the final battle on Earth when chryst will 275 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.440 overcome the forces of evil and Revelation chapter nineteen. Right, 276 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.440 It's just this whole passage just really summarizes the power 277 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.919 and the majesty of the Messiah and the fact that 278 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.840 he's going to resolve all these issues, that he is 279 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.159 God right, the Lord said to my Lord that that 280 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.360 establishes that, and from that point on he's going to 281 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.200 be victorious. 282 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:56.039 So three times in Revelation, one time in Hebrews, and 283 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.679 then what three times in the Gospel some one town is. 284 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.000 Reference yes, and then in the Book of Acts and then. 285 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.600 The Book of Acts. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, it's 286 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.240 pretty amazing. 287 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.279 So it's a very significant passage. It's easy to read 288 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.240 those words and blow past it, going what does that mean? 289 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.320 Right, But clearly throughout the rest of the Bible, it 290 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.360 pulls this passage back in over and over and over again. 291 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.799 So it's an important passage to study. So let's just 292 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.720 go through them. Yeah, yeah, do the Mark one. 293 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.840 Yeah, so Mark twelve, it says, Verses thirty five through 294 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.759 thirty seven. It says, later, as Jesus was teaching the 295 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.519 people in the temple, he asked, why do the teachers 296 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.799 of the religious law claim that the Messiah is the 297 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.000 son of David? For David himself, speaking under the inspiration 298 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.519 of the Spirit, Holy Spirit, said, and then he quotes 299 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.480 Psalm one ten, the Lord said to my Lord, sit 300 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.480 in the place of honor at my right hand until 301 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.360 I humble your enemies beneath your feet. And then he 302 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.399 goes on and says, since David called him called the Messiah, 303 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.320 my Lord, how can the Messiah be his son? The 304 00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.799 large crowd listened to him with great delight. He's acknowledging 305 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.559 the fact that people are referring to Jesus as the 306 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.600 son of David. And he's saying David also called the 307 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.440 Messiah Lord Lord. Right, He's saying, in other words, he's saying, 308 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.240 the Messiah is greater than David. 309 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.159 Right that Matthew twenty two forty one through forty six 310 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:18.480 is the same story. 311 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.440 Yes, right. 312 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.919 And the note in the Life Avacation studyed Bible says, 313 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.600 the Pharisees, Sadducees, and supporters of Herod had asked their questions, 314 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:27.519 and then Jesus turned the tables and asked them a 315 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.840 penetrating question. Remember it was always going back and forth. 316 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.320 He did such a good job, always turning the tables 317 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:36.039 on them. And they who did they think the Messiah was? 318 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.720 And the Pharisees knew that the Messiah would be a 319 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.039 descendant to David, but they did not understand that he 320 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.039 would be God himself. So Jesus quoted proh Psalm one 321 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.039 to ten, verse one to show that the Messiah would 322 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.600 be greater than David. Hebrews one thirteen uses the same. 323 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.759 Text as proof of christ deity. 324 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.600 By the way, which I don't know that we quoted 325 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.080 Hebrews one thirteen just a minute ago. It's another quote 326 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.200 from this passage. The most important question we will ever 327 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.960 answer is what we believe about Christ. Other theological questions 328 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.360 are irrelevant. 329 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.399 Until we believe that Jesus is who he said he is. 330 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.159 So Jesus uses. 331 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.519 This passage to keep arguing with people who would have 332 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.879 known this passage was about the Messiah. He's arguing, going, hey, 333 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.440 why would David view the Messiah as greater than him 334 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.840 if he's only his son? 335 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:21.639 Right? 336 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.480 By the way, Hebrews one thirteen says, and God never 337 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.799 said to any of the angels sit in the place 338 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.200 of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, 339 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.000 making them a footstal under your feet. Therefore, angels are 340 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.879 only servants, spirits sent to care for people who inherit salvation. 341 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.679 Isn't that crazy? 342 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:39.720 Yeah? 343 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:44.799 So wow, you're right. I mean, what a crazy thing 344 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.919 to know that this Psalm is quoted so much as 345 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.399 connected to so many massive truths. Because, to be honest, 346 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.559 I know you read this and you read through it, 347 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.759 but unless you take the time to say, hey, I 348 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.759 wonder how many places is pal one ten is quarter 349 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.000 than the Testament? Right, Because I don't think I've ever 350 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.599 done that. 351 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.200 Well, it's only seven verses, right, it comes up I 352 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.599 think some of the really exciting ones, and I don't 353 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.519 know that we can get into him too much, but 354 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.400 you know one ten, verse one will humble your enemies, 355 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.880 and then verse six that says he will punish the 356 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.079 nations and fill their lands. 357 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.400 With the corpses. 358 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.960 He'll shatter heads over the whole earth. That's talking about 359 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:30.039 the final judgment right against humanity that has risen up 360 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.519 the fight against him. And we find that in Revelation 361 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.279 chapter six through nine. This is you know, this massive 362 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.480 destruction of the evil people that I have risen up 363 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.240 the fight against Christ at the end of you know, 364 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:50.400 end of this planet. And he's hinting at it here 365 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.720 and you see it actually fulfilled Revelation six through nine. 366 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.799 Which, by the way, let's take note of the fact 367 00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.880 that here's David writing something that is going to be 368 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.440 fulfilled eons now it still has not yet to be fulfilled. 369 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.359 David's writing this a thousand years before Christ, right nine 370 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.519 and fifty nine hundred and fifty years before Jesus. 371 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:11.880 Yeah, and so let's just marvel. 372 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.839 As talking on this is three thousand years ago. 373 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.079 Right, marvel at just that one fact that David is 374 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:23.160 writing something here that Jesus and other people under the 375 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.880 direction of the Holy Spirit quote as both being fulfilled 376 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.559 when Jesus came and then also when Jesus will come again. 377 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.680 Right, So Jesus is quoting it as authority, yes, you know, saying, hey, 378 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.440 he's talking about me, right, And then John writes about it, saying, 379 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.599 and this is how it all Unpacts in Revelation sixty nine, 380 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.440 and then talking about his eternal kingdom right, his long 381 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.559 reign in Revelation chapter twenty. 382 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.799 Which is also Jesus' authority right right only to come. 383 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.279 Right, Yeah, that would be what we would consider many 384 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.279 people say the millennium, but it would be his reign 385 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.880 here on earth. It's it's just it's astounding to see 386 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.640 all these references, the fact that Jesus will overcome all 387 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.519 of the forces of evil for all time in Revelation 388 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.880 chapter nineteen eleven through twenty one. 389 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.559 It's pretty cool. 390 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:17.960 Yeah, that's neat. And then hang on and then Acts 391 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.440 can I read Acts two, Acts two thirty two? I 392 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.759 think this is cool because this is Peter in the 393 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:33.920 New Testament, and Acts two thirty two says this, Oh, actually, wow, 394 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.200 let me just actually read this, Peter. I'm going to 395 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.920 back up a few verses. Actually, in verse number twenty nine, 396 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.839 it says, dear brothers, think about this. You can be 397 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.200 sure that the patriarch David wasn't referring to himself, for 398 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.119 he died and was buried, and his tomb was still 399 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.160 here among us. But he was a prophet, and he 400 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.079 knew that God had promised with an oath that one 401 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.839
