Miracles: Awe, Authority, and the God Who Acts

Miracles: Awe, Authority, and the God Who Acts

Episode 2.38


What counts as a real miracle—and why does it matter?


In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael define what a biblical miracle is (and isn’t), explore how miracles appear across Scripture, and reflect on their purpose in God’s redemptive plan. Drawing from theologians like Wayne Grudem and John Frame, the episode highlights how miracles aren’t just flashy interruptions but covenant-signs of God’s power and faithfulness.


Covered in this episode:

– Defining miracles: Grudem vs. Frame

– Why miracles are rare—and why that’s the point

– Old and New Testament miracle clusters

– Why some eras (like Judges or today) see fewer miracles

– The difference between miracles and providence

– Whether miracles still happen today

– Why the greatest miracle may be the new birth


Not all wonders are miracles—but every true miracle points to the God who rules nature, time, and salvation itself.

00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,280
Babyface is here.
I I I'm trying to decide whether

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,920
I launch into this 'cause I was
in a Dixieland band.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,560
And whoa.
Oh.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Oh, Dixie, Wait a minute.
Dixieland Band.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,520
Is that what I said?
Yeah, yeah.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,520
Yeah, you nailed it.
Yeah, I thought I said Dixie

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,040
band land.
That'd be pretty.

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:19,760
Funny.
Maybe you did.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,960
Maybe I did.
Yeah, and there's a song we

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,160
played.
Babyface, Babyface.

11
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,400
There you go.
I love my babyface.

12
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Baby, we just got, we just got
cancelled 'cause you said

13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,760
Dixieland, YouTube's censoring
us.

14
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,320
We're shadow bands.
Oh, I didn't.

15
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,520
Even think about that.
Yeah.

16
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Yeah.
Well.

17
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,080
No, I'm I'm just kidding, but.
I'll just say most of the

18
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,480
Dixieland bands are not
Caucasian.

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,640
There there.
You go yeah, yeah, yeah.

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,400
So in New Orleans and stuff, so
you can go down there and they

21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,800
walk around clarinet and
sousaphone and, you know, string

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,520
bass and stuff.
It's it's all it's all it's

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
really good.
Saxophones, trumpets, saxophone,

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960
that that's what you want to
talk about Dixieland music like

25
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,879
hard hearted Hannah babyface.
I listen.

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,480
To Maple Leaf Rag, I'm.
I'm getting used to the clean

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,000
shaven look.
You liking it?

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,840
I'm not really, I was kind of
actually bummed.

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,920
I was like just trying to trim,
trim up the like on the sides

30
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,040
and I over cut and then I was
trying to even it out and then I

31
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800
over cut and then and my goat
just kept getting narrower and

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,440
narrower and it was looking
pretty rough.

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Yeah, and you were doing this on
your own or Liam?

34
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Was on on my own.
That was probably my mistake.

35
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,040
But then I was like, Liam, does
it look bad?

36
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,080
She's like, not that bad.
But then the more I looked at

37
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,880
it, I was like, I'm just gonna
shave it off.

38
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,480
The thing that hurts my heart
the most is I've had I've had

39
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,920
multiple people be like, man,
looks better that you shave it

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,080
off.
I'm.

41
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Like, oh.
That's like so sad to.

42
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Me.
You know, I think maybe, you

43
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,400
know, if I were to say, yeah,
yeah, yeah, probably somewhere

44
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,320
in the middle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

45
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Not, not the excessive.
Just let it go.

46
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Yeah, when Duck Dynasty was all
a rage, man, I was.

47
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,280
And I still feel like at some
point in time I should just let

48
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,360
this thing go.
November.

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,560
Yeah, well.
For the Christmas play.

50
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,639
Yeah, but it doesn't really get
that long if you already have

51
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,640
this.
Yeah, just a month of growth

52
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,600
like this is probably, you know,
I shave it down to like a 1 1/2.

53
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,680
This is probably a week and a
half old.

54
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
So it's not going to get like,
it's not going to get Duck

55
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Dynasty proportions in a month.
Hey, don't, don't cut yourself

56
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,720
short, you know, just just go
with it.

57
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,000
I am going.
To So what I hear you saying is

58
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,840
I should shave clean.
Yes, at the start of November.

59
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,720
Yes, I'm going to keep myself
queen shaving till November and

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560
then I don't know, I'm not going
to shave for a long time, so

61
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,960
then that.
Will be like babyface.

62
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
I probably have, like, you know,
some people who've I've had this

63
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,400
beard since, Yeah.
A long time 20. 12/20/11 I don't

64
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,440
know, you know, some people have
like weird like wrinkles and

65
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
stuff that like they don't.
Even know what you'll look like.

66
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,320
Yeah, that's great.
It'll be like a whole like shade

67
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760
lighter has not like seen the
sun, you know?

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,920
Like it'll be red because it's
like the first part of sun will

69
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,280
make it like the lobster or
something.

70
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
So, you know, I'm getting used

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,280
to it.
I I kind of like it, but I did

72
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,840
like, I just like the commitment
of growing it out, you know what

73
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,000
I mean?
It's like you really put some

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,880
effort into it.
Yeah, and I don't think that you

75
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,280
were gonna keep it till a
wedding.

76
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,720
That's in a couple days, right?
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was.

77
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,560
That was the plan at least that
long.

78
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,080
And it just felt like I
accomplished something and I

79
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,120
don't.
I just like think it looked

80
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,360
better, but it was like, man, I
just like I loved, I loved it,

81
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,000
man.
It's.

82
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Great.
What did Leanne think?

83
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,400
She she was actually encouraging
me to keep it.

84
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Yeah, that's, you know that is,
you know, just listen to your

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,200
wife on I.
Know, yeah, that's why should I

86
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360
keep it going, you know?
So maybe she just knows it keeps

87
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,800
me like unattractive to the rest
of the world, you know what I

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840
mean?
Yeah, honey, keep it, keep it.

89
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360
You know, and also you shouldn't
like don't change your clothes

90
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
it's been 3 days whatever.
It looks great.

91
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Yeah, yeah.
So I don't know We'll we'll see

92
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240
we'll we'll have to but when,
when it gets closer to we'll

93
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,880
have to really think about it.
What's going to be tricky is we

94
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,400
record too much in advance
right.

95
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,520
But if we talk about like no
shave November, we'll be like in

96
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,800
December, like, hey, we're not
going to shave, you know, so.

97
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Yeah, it'll be January when it
airs.

98
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Yeah, that's gonna be good.
I don't know, but yeah, what

99
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,360
what goes right along with clean
shaven Yeah is talking about

100
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,680
people groups in the Bible.
Oh.

101
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,720
That's good.
That's good.

102
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,480
It's different, you know.
Some some people groups Let's

103
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,640
roll the beard.
Well, yeah, some people don't

104
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,640
that that's.
Right, you know, so, you know,

105
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400
all over the place and we can go
back, you know, where, where

106
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,000
did, where did all the people
come from?

107
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,240
You know, we can, we can kind of
trace some of that.

108
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,040
This is the cotton eye, Joe.
You know where they come from,

109
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,480
where they go, where.
They there we go.

110
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Yeah, that's exactly right.
So not a Abraham episode, it's

111
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080
slightly private.
If Abraham says 12, we're not

112
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,280
going that far backwards from a
numerical.

113
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,400
Standpoint.
Yeah, we're, we're what we'll

114
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200
be, we'll be in like 10 and
11:10 and 11:00.

115
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,720
So we're right before 12.
So anyway, table of nations and

116
00:04:52,720 --> 00:05:01,680
people groups, let's take it to
the next level from the hearts

117
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,080
of the Low Country in South
Carolina.

118
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,400
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

119
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
level.
You, you hear this phrase a lot,

120
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,960
like, you know, and all goes
back to Adam.

121
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Yeah.
And that is true.

122
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,800
But it really goes back to Noah.
But Noah, yeah, exactly where,

123
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,920
you know, I feel like Noah
doesn't get any love.

124
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Like we're all related to Adam,
right?

125
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,320
And we are.
But it's like people don't don't

126
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,960
bring up Noah as much, you know?
Yeah.

127
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,000
And yeah, I guess it is all Noah
or Noah's wife.

128
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, actually, OK.

129
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You do have to be this in a

130
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Noah, but you do get some like
so the son's wives, those are

131
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,240
three different families.
Potentially, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

132
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,560
yeah.
That's.

133
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,600
True.
That's true, you know.

134
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,920
That's a good point.
Yeah, but you have some gene,

135
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,280
some genes coming in from those
other families.

136
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,720
But yeah, and and unless you
have some Nephilim.

137
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Unless and what?
Yeah.

138
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680
And then?
Graph I am Jeans.

139
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,040
You gotta be careful we can't
see it too many times where Clay

140
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,960
will show up.
We don't want Clay might be like

141
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,880
enjoying dinner with his family.
We don't want to like, pull him

142
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,520
over.
Here.

143
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,720
Unnecessarily, but what I like
about this episode, it's one of

144
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,520
those maybe like big picture,
connect the dots like we're it's

145
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,200
not about Abraham really at all,
but it kind of, you know, big

146
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440
picture and we'll talk about,
you know, where did Abraham

147
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,040
descend from kind of look at
some of that, maybe understand

148
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Bible history, even understand
some of the conflicts we see in

149
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,400
the Bible.
Some of these like are baked

150
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,600
into some of these familial
lines.

151
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,760
And even more global than that.
You see God's plan for

152
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,920
redemption starting, right.
I mean, we get that glimpse up

153
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,080
in Genesis 12, but but really
get some of the disorder that

154
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640
gets like revisited in the New
Testament, which is pretty,

155
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,640
pretty cool.
You want to read Acts 17 verses

156
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,200
26 and 27 because it kind of
talks about, you know, oh,

157
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,280
mankind.
And He made from one man every

158
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,680
nation of mankind, to live on
all the face of the earth,

159
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,840
having determined allotted
periods and the boundaries of

160
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:13,120
their dwelling place, that they
should see God, and perhaps feel

161
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480
their way toward Him and find
Him.

162
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Nice think you're talking about
Adam.

163
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Probably Adam.
Yeah, I was like, I was like, I

164
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,200
feel like we had to say that
because we just made this big

165
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,720
thing about Noah.
But you know, I don't want to.

166
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,840
I don't want to like read the
wrong I.

167
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Mean it got it all got started
off with Adam.

168
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,280
And that's right.
Yeah, that's right.

169
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,080
We're not saying Adam, you know,
wasn't involved, but.

170
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,720
And there were people between
Adam and Noah.

171
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,720
That's true that this would
apply to that.

172
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360
That would apply to exactly
right?

173
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Well, let's let's set the stage.
Genesis 6 is the flood.

174
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,160
We get past the flood.
Noah's there, three children,

175
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,640
wives, this kind of thing.
We get.

176
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,480
We get.
Explicitly told we can eat meat

177
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,360
now Big.
Deal.

178
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,600
That's a big deal, yeah,
Seasons, but I think.

179
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
They're eating meat before then.
I do.

180
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,800
But but, but now it's like go
for it, eat meat.

181
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,760
Just not with the blood stay.
Stay away for that from that

182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,520
from that blood.
So if we were looking Genesis 12

183
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760
is Abraham.
Genesis 10 is referred to as a

184
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,680
table of nations got a lot of
genealogies.

185
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Genesis 11 is the Tower of Babel
and I think this can be

186
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,680
confusing to people because it's
it's not in chronological order.

187
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,120
You read it and and you're like,
why are we learning about people

188
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,640
all being together after we read
about everyone's descendants

189
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,160
before and that can be
confusing.

190
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,520
And I think it's another good
example.

191
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,000
So is.
It like, hey, here are the

192
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,799
nations, here's how we got them.
Exactly, exactly the reason.

193
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,840
It's like, you know, in our
Western mind, that's not how we

194
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,000
would probably map things out.
That's a good reminder of the

195
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,320
Bible.
A lot of times it's thematically

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,000
or theologically or there
there's there's usually a reason

197
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
if it's not like in every door
or you're like, what's the

198
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,480
reason?
I think, I think you're exactly

199
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,240
right that it's exactly as
simple as that.

200
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,040
That kind of talks about God's
command to fill the earth out.

201
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,280
He's making, you know,
everyone's going.

202
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,080
And then it talks about, you
know, humanity's rebellion, that

203
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,920
they really wanted to be in one
place and God's gonna, you know,

204
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,360
send them all over the world.
So Michael's getting his Bible

205
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,200
out.
You're ready to read.

206
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,920
I know you.
You just hate reading these ESV

207
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,600
passages.
You got to get it.

208
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,120
I.
Wanted to be able to kind of

209
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800
glance at the whole thing, but
yeah I'm happy to read from NASB

210
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,360
as well.
Please do if you want to read

211
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Genesis 9 verse one going back
to Noah and.

212
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,520
God bless Noah and his sons and
said to them, be fruitful and

213
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,320
multiply and fill the earth and
if we're.

214
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Going to Fast forward to Genesis
1032, you want to read that one

215
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,360
as well?
These are the families of the

216
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,880
sons of Noah, according to their
genealogies by their nations,

217
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,960
and out of these the nations
were separated on the earth

218
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,720
after the flood.
So you, you kind.

219
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Of see these kind of go
together, be fruitful, multiply,

220
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480
fill the earth.
But then Genesis 11, we kind of

221
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,360
get this, this negative story of
how God's kind of making this

222
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,960
happen a little bit more.
They said, Come, let us bind for

223
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,840
ourselves, build for ourselves a
city and a tower whose top will

224
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,040
reach into the heaven, and let
us make for ourselves a name,

225
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,520
otherwise we will be scattered
abroad over the face of the

226
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
whole earth.
Come, let us go down.

227
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,000
And they're confused their
language, so that they will not

228
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200
understand one another's speech.
So the Lord scattered them

229
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,840
abroad from there over the face
of the whole earth, and they

230
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,760
stopped building the city.
Therefore its name was called

231
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Babel or Babel, because they're
the Lord confused the language

232
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,560
of the whole earth.
And from there the Lord

233
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,120
scattered them abroad over the
face of the whole earth.

234
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,920
All right, probably very
familiar, most of our listeners

235
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,600
with with this accounts.
So so that's kind of what

236
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,600
happens.
And we get these different lines

237
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,040
from Noah, we get Ham.
I love I love the name too.

238
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,600
I love, you know, with translate
stuff.

239
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,800
We've got Ham, we've got Shim
and then we got Japheth and you

240
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,520
kind of trace where these people
settled in and people groups and

241
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,640
that kind of thing.
At least, you know, broad

242
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,480
strokes.
I think it's interesting to kind

243
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,280
of trace some of that down.
So if we're looking at Ham's

244
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,120
line, you know, a lot of this is
you maybe could label it

245
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,920
southern and western, I don't
know, but you'll look at things

246
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
like Cush, which would be like
Ethiopia, that kind of thing.

247
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Egypt's Canaan put that would be
Libya or North Africa.

248
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,920
And then when you think of
Canaan, you think of all the

249
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,680
Hittites, Amorites, Jabucites,
Siden, the Canaanites.

250
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,360
The this is generally where hams
line descend.

251
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,160
So we're talking.
Maybe like Iraq over down to the

252
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,000
eastern side, eastern and
northern side of Africa, yeah.

253
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440
I, I would say to so and, and
when you read the Bible about

254
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Kush a lot, I, I think they,
that's almost really associated

255
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,960
with people with very, very dark
skin.

256
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,920
I think there's like a verse in
Jeremiah that's like, can a

257
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
leopard change his spots or a
Kushite the color of his skin?

258
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,440
And it's kind of like really a
play on on like just how dark

259
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,920
skin is.
So I I think that's exactly

260
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,440
right.
Yeah.

261
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,600
And so we read about some of
these people.

262
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,360
So we.
Think Ham was really dark

263
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,680
skinned or we think maybe his
wife was really dark skinned.

264
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Maybe that see, I would love to
like see and I, I, I don't know,

265
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
those are good things to think
about where maybe maybe so, you

266
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,720
know, at least that genetic
makeup was in there somehow.

267
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,760
So.
Is it?

268
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,920
Is it reasonable to say if you
have today darker skin like, you

269
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,200
know, darker melanin, you're on
that side you you probably have

270
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,080
some in your background?
Some $1,000,000 idea instead of

271
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,840
23andMe ham.
Yeah, 3 and me ham sham and

272
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,160
JPEG.
You're 23% ham.

273
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:36,400
There's something.
There.

274
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,280
You know this is.
Like Ken Ham's probably on that.

275
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,520
He's probably like he's probably
got that down, but we see a lot

276
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,360
of these people groups in the
Bible through, you know, Egypt

277
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,440
enslaving Israel, Philistines
opposing Israel, Canaanites

278
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,800
driving, being driven out by
Joshua and then interesting you

279
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,280
we hear this curse of ham a lot,
but a.

280
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,680
Proper reading, yes.
Makes it not Ham himself.

281
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,640
It's like 1 of Ham's sons, yeah.
Exactly right and a lot of

282
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,480
people would use like this this
is like hey This is why slavery

283
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,800
is good.
I'm going to use the Bible to

284
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160
justify this is the curse.
We're just like fulfilling God.

285
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,560
So you're.
Telling me people can

286
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:22,840
misinterpret the Bible.
Yeah, and in a crazy bad way.

287
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,040
It's like you can stand by and
you know, I'm trying to think

288
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,320
like, I think I don't think it
went super far, but like there's

289
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,000
notes in like the Schofield
Study Bible that talk about this

290
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720
in a pejorative way, which
you're like, that wasn't that

291
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520
long ago.
Like people in Mitras growing up

292
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,120
with like Schofield Study
Bible's the best.

293
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,160
The ones they had I think had
this edited out by then, but it

294
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,680
was like in, it was in like
Schofield's original study

295
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:48,400
Bible.
He was like that.

296
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,160
That was kind of like one of the
first premier mainstream study

297
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,880
Bibles.
Yeah, I think that's good to

298
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,600
address that and get on the
table that that that is a

299
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,160
misinterpretation of this.
That was a curse to his son and

300
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,160
it was like local to him.
And it doesn't say that's going

301
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,640
to go to like all of his
descendants everywhere it.

302
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,280
Says he said cursed be Canaan, a
servant of servant shall be to

303
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,640
his brothers.
He also said blessed be the

304
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,640
where they got a shem and let
Canaan be his servant.

305
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360
May God enlarge Japheth and let
him dwell in the tents of Shem

306
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,840
and let Canaan be his servant.
So, so there you go.

307
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
And I think, you know, you get
you get some color on this too,

308
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,800
even with SO.
So Canaan probably, you know, if

309
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,040
we're just talking about people
groups and skin tone, he would

310
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,160
have the lighter skin of that
because he went up into the

311
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360
Israel and he was the
Canaanized, the Hittites, which

312
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640
are not the dark, dark skin of
Africa.

313
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,600
So it doesn't even fit the
that's so.

314
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Crazy that it gets like lumped
as the curse of Ham and then,

315
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,400
yeah, it's like all these things
kind of get changed.

316
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,520
So anyway that that is Ham's
line, next Shim's line, which is

317
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,520
where we get maybe some Eastern
nations and then we get Semitic

318
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,120
people groups.
Elam, that's Persia, Asher,

319
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Assyria, Arafat said.
The line maybe that led up to

320
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Abraham, Arum, Syrians, that
kind of thing.

321
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,120
And we see, you know, Messianic,
Messianic promise flowing

322
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,600
through this line of Shim.
So Shim's line looking for the

323
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,240
sins, you see them a lot.
A Latin stripper, right?

324
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Yeah, So this would be like if
you're thinking visually like

325
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,440
the Persians, maybe skin, dark,
dark skin or mean dark, dark

326
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,480
hair, but maybe lighter olive
skin.

327
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Yeah, that's.
Probably right?

328
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Like you, you think of like
someone from Iran or maybe

329
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,400
Kazakhstan or you know those,
right.

330
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880
But you know, you have like you
start moving over and then you

331
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,440
get into India, then you get
some really, really dark

332
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,120
pigmented folks.
And I wonder how those bridge

333
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,440
the gap because, you know, most
of Asia they are.

334
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,120
They're lighter in tone, maybe
darker, maybe darker than a

335
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,520
European.
Yeah.

336
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Yeah.
You know, it's just fascinating

337
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,760
how that all came about.
And it is.

338
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Fascinating.
Like maybe people that just

339
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,080
yeah, had darker melanin just
naturally did better a little

340
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,520
farther S with the heat.
And I mean, it's I mean, you

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,120
know what I mean?
It's like those people maybe

342
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,800
that stayed there and other
people filtered away.

343
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,800
I don't, I don't know.
It's it that is.

344
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,560
And then there's been so many,
you know, war, all these things

345
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,400
that move people groups and
these things, it's hard to hard

346
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,000
to.
So then we've got Japheth, you

347
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,720
know, maybe you're thinking
northern and coastal peoples.

348
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,240
We got like the Gomer people,
Magog, Medes.

349
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Greeks really come from the
Javan line, Tuba, Meshech,

350
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Terasberry, common people groups
we've all heard of millions of

351
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,520
times.
So we've read about the Greeks,

352
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,880
you know, you go to the book of
Daniel Medes of Persian and

353
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Esther and Daniel as well.
Magog Ezekiel, you know, that's

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,560
like, you know, I love, you know
this guy Doug Wilson, I have

355
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,920
heard of him from Moscow, ID.
His church is really big.

356
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,640
He's always getting interviewed
by just.

357
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,040
Interview.
Yeah, he's like very into

358
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,880
patriarchy and theonomy and
these things.

359
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:15,480
He's got a blog very famous not
his blog is called it's like GOG

360
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,680
and may blog.
I don't it's like blog and yeah,

361
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,280
it's like it's a play on word
with this somehow.

362
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,160
I don't know what it is, but
it's.

363
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,480
Pretty funny, yeah.
So anyway, we read about this

364
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,280
these people groups like we
mentioned in in Scripture and

365
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,240
then as you, you know, go
throughout, it's interesting

366
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,840
just to think we've talked about
this a little bit, but the

367
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Moabites, the Ammonites, those
come from Lot Sun, so that Shim

368
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
line, but they're like little
you see the little offshoots of

369
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040
all these different people.
So it's not like, Shim, all of

370
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,080
your people are going to be
blessed.

371
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,120
That's like not, that's not how
it works.

372
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,440
Like, Messiah comes through
Shim's line, but there's a lot

373
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600
of people that come through
Shim's line that don't do the

374
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,480
right thing.
Right.

375
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,920
And so Europeans are probably
from Japheth probably.

376
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Probably, Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.

377
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,080
OK.
Very interesting.

378
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,920
And then, you know, eat them
from Esau's line, but also comes

379
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,640
through shims.
And, you know, then we see, you

380
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040
know, a lot of these other
Philistines.

381
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Would have been from Japheth's
line.

382
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Yeah, I did this say.
Well, my understanding is

383
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,960
Drillstein's were like from
around like Crete or the the

384
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640
Greek islands are somewhere
around there, maybe Turkey.

385
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:29,000
Yeah, and they kind of came on,
came on over going really

386
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720
global, big picture.
What's really cool is and, and

387
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Clay I think made this on one of
his pockets, made this

388
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,480
connection.
Acts 2 you can connect to the

389
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,600
table of nations and it's almost
like verbatim the same regions

390
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,320
and these.
Are the 70 different areas?

391
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,600
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.

392
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600
It almost lines up like really
perfectly, which is, it's pretty

393
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,080
incredible where Pentecost is
like the undoing of the table of

394
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,040
nations, where they're separate,
bringing the Gospels, going to

395
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,680
everyone.
No.

396
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,000
That's good.
Yeah, 'cause just recall that

397
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,040
one.
The we.

398
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:04,280
It seems as though perhaps these
different geographical areas had

399
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,720
some type of watcher assigned to
them.

400
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Maybe one good, one bad.
Yeah.

401
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,440
We get that from Daniel where
talks about, you know, the

402
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Prince of Persia delaying, you
know, the messenger and Michael

403
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,920
the Archangel having to go over
there and and free him.

404
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,800
And so we we're just kind of
grasping at the bread crumbs

405
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,000
there.
But you know, if there was a

406
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,280
splintering and then all that is
reunited under 1, you know, the

407
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,400
the Prince of of peace, the King
of Israel, Jesus, and like we

408
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,400
see in Acts 2, like, OK, now
this is all his.

409
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,440
It's all.
His yeah, it speaks to God's

410
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,840
sovereignty, God's hand in
history.

411
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,560
You see, it's precise, it's
purposeful.

412
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,440
You see this big major bookend
connections that the gospels for

413
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,560
every tribe, tongue and nation.
It's not, you know, you could

414
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,880
look at this and be like, you
know, what the heck?

415
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,280
It's like ham gets cursed.
Curse of Ham, which we debunk

416
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,160
not a thing.
It's curse of Canaan.

417
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,320
And it's not like these
Canaanites didn't bring this

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,400
judgment.
On themselves, what we talked

419
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,760
about with Abraham anyway, it's
like they were, you know,

420
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,040
living, living in sin.
But how God works, all these

421
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,120
things together.
I see you flipping that Bible.

422
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,240
What are you looking for?
I'm looking for this place

423
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,720
because we just saying is he
worthy?

424
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:27,960
And it quotes from Revelation 5.
And this is one of my favorite

425
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,120
lines.
I get a little emotional reading

426
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,440
it, thinking about it, singing
it.

427
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840
But this is Revelation 59 and it
says, and they sang a new song

428
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,400
saying, 'cause this is after
there's a scroll, just kind of

429
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,320
back up a little bit just to put
people in John there and like no

430
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,560
one can open the scroll.
Who's worthy to open the scroll?

431
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,520
And they find one who looks like
a lamb who's been slain, the

432
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,760
lion of Judah.
And he is able to take the

433
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,240
scroll and open it.
And when he does that, it says,

434
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,120
and they sing a new song that
says, worthy are you to take the

435
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,080
book and break its seals?
For you were slain and purchase

436
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,600
for God with your blood men from
every tribe and tongue and

437
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,640
people and nations, and you have
made them a Kingdom and priest

438
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,600
to our God, and they will reign
upon the earth.

439
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:24,480
And then there's places where it
talks about all of the people,

440
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,240
like singing together like this,
this choir of all the people

441
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,520
together.
So I just think it's a great

442
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,360
picture of, you know, the
diversity that we have in

443
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,280
humanity, different cultures,
different, you know, looks

444
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,280
different, you know, abilities
and, you know, traits and stuff.

445
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560
But God's redeeming some from
all of those.

446
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,520
And we are going to be 1 bride
for him in the future.

447
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,240
Yeah.
It's it's amazing.

448
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,040
I love.
And in Revelation 7, where it's

449
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,000
kind of similar to what you
read, it's like there's a

450
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,080
multitude no one could number.
Like it's just like endless.

451
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,400
And I like that.
So we look to the future and

452
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160
that that's the trajectory of
where everything's going.

453
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,680
We see like kind of where things
started in the table of nations

454
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,520
and the Tower of Babel and
things get all dispersed.

455
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,520
And then Acts 2 was kind of like
that already.

456
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,120
Not yet.
So but we're not, we're not

457
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,600
total revelation.
That's a good trajectory.

458
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,600
We, we want to, it's going to be
imperfect, but it's like, man,

459
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,680
that, that is really, really
cool.

460
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,360
Just all the unity and
diversity.

461
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:29,120
Because you look at the other
side of it, Galatians 3, there's

462
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,680
neither Jew nor Greek, there's
neither slave nor free.

463
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,200
There's no male and female for
you all, all you are all one in

464
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,560
Christ.
Nothing brings you that merit.

465
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,560
So you know, number one, I, I
was in this, I was looking at

466
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,120
this talk one time.
I was really good and it was

467
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,400
about culture.
And it was saying culture is

468
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,480
really important.
But you know, Christ that that's

469
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,320
number one point.
If your culture does not line up

470
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,360
with Christ and every culture's
got its things that don't line

471
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:55,600
up with scripture.
That's number one thing.

472
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,840
Culture's important, but it's
like a a a secondary thing and

473
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,480
it's kind of that's AI think
tough to, you know, find the

474
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,040
where it is.
Culture may make sense and fit

475
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,200
in, but this passage is great
because nothing, nothing merits

476
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,800
your salvation.
But at the same time, Paul's got

477
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,960
a lot to say about, you know,
male and female.

478
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,440
We wouldn't say it obliterates
these differences.

479
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,200
Do you know what I'm saying?
You can read it too far.

480
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,560
It's like, so if we're saying
there is a difference between

481
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
male and female, not and how it
merits your salvation, but there

482
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,040
is a difference, Paul's
presumably saying June or Greek,

483
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,480
there are good differences there
too.

484
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,640
We're not saying you have to
obliterate those differences,

485
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,920
right?
Yeah, I I think it would be a

486
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,560
mistake to say we become that
that the the best solution is 1

487
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280
emulsified culture across all
the earth.

488
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,520
And it should be fill in the
blank, this culture, because

489
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,520
different cultures have
strengths and weaknesses.

490
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,920
And, you know, just like the
gifts, you know, the gifts are

491
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,280
handed out different strengths
and weaknesses, you know, You

492
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,840
know, when something goes wrong,
I'm always trying to figure out

493
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,360
how do we prevent this from
happening again?

494
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:01,240
That's good.
Yeah.

495
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Right, right.
May not.

496
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Be good in the moment when
someone's just dropped

497
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440
something, I'm like, OK, this is
what happened wrong.

498
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,240
Don't do this again.
You know this, fix it.

499
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280
But you might need someone with
the gift of mercy to come on and

500
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,760
say.
Yeah, in the same.

501
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,480
Way with different cultures, you
know, and there could be there

502
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,000
can be bad cultures and.
And there can be bad cultures or

503
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,160
a lot, a lot of it is is bad.
I think it's it's easy to maybe

504
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,760
be blind to some things in your
own culture and it's easy to

505
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,840
it's just like with anything
else.

506
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,840
It's easy to see, you know, the
other person's faults really

507
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,280
easily.
And even in this is not what

508
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,080
this is necessarily about, but
even the the neither slave nor

509
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,280
free, you know, not talking
about chattel slavery, but maybe

510
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,400
an instrument.
There's in hierarchy might be

511
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,640
the right word, wrong word, but
an order.

512
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,240
There's like an ordering in
society and that does reflect

513
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,480
God too.
Not saying everything's always

514
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,400
just, but there are like gifting
different roles.

515
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,160
Some people are are kings and
some people aren't, and some.

516
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,400
People are employees, some
people are employers.

517
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,720
You could use the same same type
of division for like a

518
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,400
capitalistic society, which is
different than their society

519
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,520
might.
Then you know I.

520
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,200
I, I think that that's exactly
right.

521
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840
So anyway, I, I think it's
interesting as we're talking

522
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,240
about Abraham to think about,
you know, leading up to Abraham

523
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,240
and all, you know, and it's even
even interesting how Abraham's

524
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,800
journey and geography and that
kind of thing to consider

525
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,480
Genesis 10, consider Genesis 11,
maybe read Acts 2.

526
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,880
It'd be Michael Heizer does have
a talk where he brings this up

527
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,440
and he does a good job of like
mapping those things together.

528
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Like it says this here, it says
this here, this is how they're

529
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,720
the same.
And it's like perfect.

530
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,640
And you can really see how
Pentecost does just overlap that

531
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,200
table of nations so, so well.
So anyway, I like those big

532
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,080
picture connecting the dots, you
know, something, something to

533
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,040
think about.
No, that's.

534
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,000
Good.
Very good, very good.

535
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,240
And it's part of the it's
probably, you know, we last

536
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,880
Tuesday's episode was on Abraham
and Isaac.

537
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Yeah.
You probably have that if you if

538
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,720
you're in the church scene.
Yeah.

539
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480
You probably had that as a
Sunday school lesson multiple

540
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,200
times.
That's right.

541
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Yeah, you probably.
Didn't have table on nations as

542
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,360
a Sunday school lesson.
Yeah, that's.

543
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:11,440
True that.
That's a good point.

544
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,000
And it's one of those when
you're doing your Bible reading,

545
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,240
it's easy to kind of like.
Why ISIS here?

546
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Just OK, I've.
Got to I'm skipping through

547
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280
this, but in the light it's
like, and you might think that,

548
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,080
but in the light of the
connection facts, she's like,

549
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,200
wow, all these details.
That's pretty pretty cool that

550
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,960
they the right Moses didn't just
leave it at Shem Ham Japheth,

551
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,040
but he actually like broke down
this kind of stuff even more.

552
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,240
And I think it's a bigger maybe
we can do a hopefully this would

553
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,080
not be a boring podcast, but do
a podcast on genealogies because

554
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,880
I think, you know, most of the
time when genealogies are in

555
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,320
scripture, it's not just for
nothing.

556
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960
A lot of times there's a feel
logical emphasis on top of the

557
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,760
historical emphasis.
If you read the names.

558
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,760
It was an elaborate plan to get.
I want you to repeat it as your

559
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,400
name.
I just you're always reading

560
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,120
names.
That's great.

561
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,360
But it it'd be interesting to
take just genealogies and and

562
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:05,480
see like, OK, what's the
emphasis here?

563
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,000
Like, why are we skipping these
people but not these people?

564
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,400
Like what's the author?
Like, why are we even doing

565
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,400
this?
And usually there's a good

566
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,800
reason we should.
Ask Jonathan White, but this

567
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,280
would be a good test for him and
and because when I was his youth

568
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,440
group leader, we went through
the genealogy of Christ and if

569
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,960
there was anything at all to say
about someone, we had like a

570
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,120
lesson or you know, to so we
talked about Adam and we went

571
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,240
through.
That and we.

572
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,240
Just went from Adam all the way
to Christ, the different ones.

573
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,000
And of course you get a lot of
ones in the middle that you

574
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,480
don't have really anything to
say about because all you have

575
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,960
is their name.
But they're all the ones that

576
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,360
we'd had something to say about.
We talked about, you know, David

577
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:44,960
and Solomon and, you know, Judah
and all the ones in between.

578
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,920
Jesse.
Yeah.

579
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,240
That that is really good because
those are the parts of Scripture

580
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,560
which it is easy to be like we
got you know, we're just going

581
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,160
to zoom through all these but
they're they're they're in there

582
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240
for a reason.
I don't know how many more

583
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Abraham adjacent ones.
I think I got one more.

584
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,560
It's it's pretty adjacent, but
we're going to we can we can

585
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,880
connect it OK, it's.
Not adjacent.

586
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,680
It's cattywampus.
That's cute.

587
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,440
It's diagonal too.
That's right.

588
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,520
Yeah, we need to keep getting
words that farther and farther

589
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,960
away.
Then maybe we'll totally wrap

590
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,960
up.
I'm trying to think of anything

591
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,080
I can.
I like having a nice series.

592
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440
I've got like a few ideas, but
they're just quick hitters,

593
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,480
disconnected, you know?
Sure.

594
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,600
We can have some mini series, so
yeah, anyway.

595
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,640
That's all I got on this one.
You got anything you want to

596
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,040
add?
No, I think that's good.

597
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,560
All right, that's our take.
