Episode 2.39


From Adam naming the animals to Christ bearing the name above every name, Scripture treats names with reverence, authority, and purpose. In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael trace the biblical theme of naming—from dominion in Eden to identity in Revelation.


Covered in this episode:

– Adam’s authority in naming creation

– God naming children and defining destinies

– The divine self-naming at the burning bush

– Hagar and the testimony of El Roi

– Demons trying to control Jesus by name

– Jesus naming and renaming His followers

– The mysterious name in Revelation

– Our adoption and being named as children of God


A name in Scripture is never just a label. It’s identity. It’s mission. It’s ownership. And in Christ, it's destiny.

00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,840
I I know you're distraught cause
your boy.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,240
What are you boys?
You got a.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,600
You got you got a gang that is
composed of Greg Cockle, Tom

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Brady and Bill Belichick.
And I want to talk about Bill

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Belichick.
One of your one of your go to

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,160
guys are always.
Talking, Let me just say this.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
We have an ornament of Tom
Brady.

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,160
We do not have an ornament of
Bill Belichick.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,120
He's still your boy because you
were telling before, before we

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,680
turn on the podcast, you were
saying I endorse every decision

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,800
he has ever made.
I really like I'm really into

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,240
his dating life and.
Approve of it.

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,880
I'm just kidding, don't want to
snow slander, no libel against

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Michael, but just want to bring
up I honestly I did.

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,880
He lose again today I'm
guessing.

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,240
Is this where this has gone?
I, I, I, I was going to look

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,000
this up because I have no idea
this, but I just assumed that

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,840
he, even though he's kind of off
his rocker, I just assumed.

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Hey.
They're they're actually

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,400
winning.
They're playing Charlotte.

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,160
So that would be like a travesty
if they lost to Charlotte.

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,280
But I assumed he would do well
in college football just because

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,560
there is a difference between
NFL and college football.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,760
I always felt like college
football was more recruiting and

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
less XS and OS versus NFL.
I mean, I know it is XS and OS

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,880
but that's so.
But maybe that changed with NIL

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,480
and stuff where I felt like if
you were a great recruiter that

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,520
can hide a lot of get strategy
and gameplay.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,400
Whereas in the NFL, all these
coaches are like, they don't

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,960
sleep.
Like, it's like different, you

31
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,040
know what I mean?
And Bill Metrick's known for his

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
work ethic, but I guess his
judgments might not be there

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,360
like it used to.
You know what?

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,040
I mean, well, I, I, I think he's
gotten very egotistical and very

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,720
bitter.
Oh yeah, yeah.

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Maybe 'cause I was reading some
stuff.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,320
I, I guess the, I don't know
what you call it, the fight

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,280
between him and Robert Kraft has
gotten more public and more

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,080
stuff has leaked, 'cause I was
reading some stuff.

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,080
Was it today, today or yesterday
that was saying that during his

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680
last year with the Patriots,
about halfway through the

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,640
season, he stopped talking to
the quarterback.

43
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,400
What's that guy right now?
No, no, no.

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Oh.
Mack Jones Mack Jones and did

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760
not talk to the defensive
coordinator.

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,680
They could.
Not talk to Robert Kraft, just

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,120
like, no, I'm not.
I'm not talking to you.

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,080
So Can you imagine being the
head coach and just your

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,720
defensive coordinator?
That mean I could?

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Just I know it wasn't like this,
but like in pregame speech like,

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,480
hey, everybody not talking to
you, this is not good for you.

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Go play hard.
And you know, like that is like

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,640
pretty.
That is pretty.

54
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:41,600
Petty, but he was.
A patriot, you know.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Also read that he is not
allowing patriot scouts.

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,200
I saw this too.
That's like.

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Practices not allow.
Yeah, no.

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,600
No, Patriots, you did me dirty.
Isn't it?

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,520
Isn't it crazy how things ended
on not so great terms when it

60
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,160
was like such a such a great,
yeah, it was such a great thing.

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Even like you look back, it's
like man, Kobe and Shaq, like

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,560
we're killing it and it just
like man.

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,920
And at the end, like they
made-up.

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,800
I mean, they made-up at some
point, but it was like such a

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,440
bad thing where everyone hated
each other by the end of it, you

66
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,960
know what I mean?
Well, I think Tom and like Gronk

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,640
and Edelman and Mandola, all
those people they love and Moss.

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Gronk's honestly dude, that guy
is.

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
He's got like 5 more years
before that CTE really starts to

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,680
progress.
I think he may have had CTE

71
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440
before CTE before every started
because like he came out of

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,160
college a little bit wild.
He is hilarious and but yeah,

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,920
yeah, seems like most people get
together.

74
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,360
But man, 'cause it.
I mean, how did they talk bad

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,840
about Belichick?
Or is it not?

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Is it more private?
Like they don't want it, you

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680
know?
I've not heard them talk about

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720
it.
Belichick, they've talked,

79
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,320
they've talked about like, you
know, him teaching them how to

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800
do like press conferences and
stuff and getting in trouble if

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,840
they say something, but nothing
like like this that's coming

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,640
out.
But that was they played for

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Belichick during the golden
years, except for, you know,

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
that last year between Tom and
until, you could tell, like if

85
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,760
you were watching those games,
they were not In Sync.

86
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,400
And it would be like 3 and out,
three and out, three and out.

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200
And we would never go for it on
four.

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
We would never do anything other
than like throw it to the flats.

89
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,400
We would didn't have a running
back, but we would like run it

90
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
on 1st down, every down and that
guy would get stuffed and we'd

91
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,360
have two passing plays and we'd
punt.

92
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,360
And I was like what has
happened?

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Like we like someone took out
the gas like it, it was bad.

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,440
It's it's insane man football so
crazy.

95
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,760
I was looking about Patriots,
got the Raiders.

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Raiders tomorrow, so.
See, we'll see what happens.

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Football season.
D1 football.

98
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:58,200
Oh yeah, have the hogs.
So it's a War Memorial sell out

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,520
today.
Nice.

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,280
We're in the fourth quarter
right now it's close 14 to 49.

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,680
You just just a few scores away.
But I, I was telling you before

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,800
we started, like there was a
time when 20/12/2013, right

103
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,600
after that coach got fired
because he was with that gal on

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960
the motorcycle and the Hogs were
just like crumbling.

105
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,040
And at the same time the Indians
Red Wolves were like peeking.

106
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,520
And I was like, man, if we
played the Hog right now, I bet

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,440
we could win.
But that time has since passed.

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Like today I, I told you I was
like, I want to be brooding for

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,760
the Red Wolves.
But realistically, it's hard to

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,840
go against the SEC powerhouse.
You know anyone in the SEC,

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,240
they're probably going to beat
someone in the Sunbelt

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Conference.
This is just how it's going to

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640
be.
Yep, I that's just, that's

114
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,360
probably what's going to happen.
That's the, you know how, how it

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,400
goes.
Speaking of Randy Moss, that's

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,160
he, he went to my parents alma
mater.

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240
Oh yeah.
Yep, Marshall University.

118
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,720
They've not been super good, but
they were.

119
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,520
When Randy Moss is on your team,
you're automatically that.

120
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Was like that was.
Like.

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,280
One of the few times Marshall as
of in the We are Marshall, Yeah,

122
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,600
yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, They had a good,

123
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680
there was a guy, there was one
year that no one cares about

124
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,520
this, but Randy, Randy Moss at
receiver, Chad Pennington at

125
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,520
quarterback.
He was like a decent

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,000
quarterback, NFL, you know,
between us.

127
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,920
So they were, you know,
lightening up and I don't know

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,320
what conference Marshall was in
back in those days.

129
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
I think they were in the Mac
conference.

130
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Big power, powerhouse.
So there you go.

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,480
Just want to bring up Belichick
for you.

132
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,200
Yeah, yeah, that is good.
I did allude to my alma mater

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,400
and like maybe a few years after
I went, yeah, we had to change

134
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,880
her name from Yeah, Indians to
the Red Wolves.

135
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,000
You might ask what is in a name?
What is in a name?

136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,240
What a Segway.
That's why we're here today.

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,720
This is are Abraham did we say
cattywampus so.

138
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,280
Our cattywampus adjacent.
So last podcast we did on the

139
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,760
Abraham series was on the table
of nature.

140
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,240
So it was like Abraham adjacent.
Not really.

141
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,160
This is maybe even more of a
stretch.

142
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Abraham had his name changed.
Yeah.

143
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,800
So it's like, hey, what's what's
in the name?

144
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,880
Let's talk about Abraham,
Arkansas State football team A.

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,440
Lot in common, a lot in common.
Let's talk about that.

146
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Let's go ahead and take it to
the next level.

147
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,160
From the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,480
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

149
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,120
level.
You don't have pets, do you,

150
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Michael?
No, you have children.

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,520
I do have not the same.
I'm not trying to draw the same,

152
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360
but you name like people named
pets, people named children.

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
And there's different ways to go
about it.

154
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,480
You know, some people do the I'm
going to think really hard about

155
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,760
this name and some people, you
know, just just off the cover.

156
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,400
This sounds good, you know, and
I think you know, some names

157
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,200
just sound like a this is like a
dog name or you know, you hear

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,400
something, you know, but.
Poseidon.

159
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,360
There you Poseidon.
Yeah.

160
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,080
Chloe has some friend whose dog
is named Poseidon.

161
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Oh, OK.
Yeah, yeah.

162
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,160
There you go.
Great.

163
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Have you you guys have not had
pets?

164
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,480
We have not had pets, no.
Yeah, our last pet we did not

165
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480
name.
If we start having pets, you'll

166
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120
know we have won and and we've
moved into a house that allows

167
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,680
for pets, you'll know we have
won the lottery.

168
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,840
That that'll, that'll be one of
the first signs.

169
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,840
Yeah, that'll be the signs.
Well.

170
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,960
Yeah, our last dog we had, her
name was Sophie.

171
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,680
We did not name her.
We like adopted her from

172
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,080
whatever and like someone
already had names so we didn't

173
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,800
change the name.
Wisdom so.

174
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,480
So there we go.
Yeah, yeah, there we go.

175
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:34,640
But did not.
Did you feel Sophie?

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,039
Did you love her?
No, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of

177
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:37,840
course.
Of course.

178
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we look, you know, I, I

179
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,120
think we look in scripture you
read someones name almost always

180
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,040
has a meeting or maybe any
meetings derived by how their

181
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,640
life lived out or whatever.
A little bit.

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,520
We don't see that quite like.
Oh no.

183
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,840
Your name Zach.
Uh.

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Yeah, Zach has a good meaning.
Though what's that mean?

185
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,480
It means God remembers OK.
So Caleb Hawk, would you say

186
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,600
he's like a faithful guy, like
True because.

187
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,440
That lives up to his name.
Yeah, that's great.

188
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Leanne's name.
I always make fun of Leanne just

189
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,400
for normal stuff.
But I'm always like we have, we

190
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,680
have like someone or someone in
her church, like stitch

191
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,240
something of what our names
mean.

192
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,720
It's in A room and my name is
like Yahweh remembers and her

193
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800
her name means like peaceful
dweller still good.

194
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,320
It's like peaceful, but I'm
like, come on, Yahweh remembers.

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,640
That's like, so much better than
peaceful.

196
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Dweller yeah, yeah.
But Michael is who is there like

197
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Yahweh, Yeah.
Or who's there?

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Like God, I, I.
I like, I like these names cause

199
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,200
in scripture when someone is
named, someone has a name, it's

200
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,120
it's definitely not casual.
There's profound theological

201
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,640
significance really hits at
someone's identity in a lot of

202
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,880
ways, and even outside of what
names mean, you go back into the

203
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,280
ancients or you look at biblical
texts and everyone's always like

204
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,960
associated with their family.
It's always like Joshua's son of

205
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,720
Nun.
Like that's so important.

206
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Like people are known.
You're the sons of Zebedee.

207
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,760
Like you just don't.
That's not how we talk today,

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,640
you know.
So anyway, that would be

209
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,440
interesting.
What was that, son of hell?

210
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080
So, yeah, yeah, it's not, it's
like not what you would

211
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,480
typically here, but what we're
going to trace this theme of

212
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,080
naming in the Bible starting all
the way back at Adam and going

213
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,040
all the way throughout the New
Testament and see, see what we

214
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
find because it is, it is
interesting.

215
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,000
So if we start started Adam,
well, do we know what Adam

216
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,600
means?
Man, Man, yeah.

217
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,840
It's like, you know, good, good,
good name there just baked into

218
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,920
it.
And that's like every time you

219
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,440
read the word man, it is really
Adam's name again.

220
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,360
Literally, yeah.
In the Old Testament.

221
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,400
So it's like real, just so
closely connected Adam in

222
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,560
Genesis 2, he names the animals.
And that's not just, he wasn't

223
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:54,560
like it.
That wasn't insignificant,

224
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,040
right?
And I think there I, I read this

225
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,040
and I think there may be also
that.

226
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,120
And that happens right before he
says, you don't have a helpmate.

227
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,000
That's right.
You know what?

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,760
You need a helpmate.
All right, Adam, let's go.

229
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Name all the animals.
Yeah.

230
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240
But then at the end of that, he
says, and a suitable helpmate

231
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,840
was not found.
So I think it was, in a way, God

232
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240
saying none of these are for
you.

233
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,480
You're not going to find your
companionship here.

234
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,760
And you might think like, why
would anyone think that they

235
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
are?
You know, you'd find

236
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,960
companionship in a horse, but
maybe there's some close calls,

237
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,240
like maybe there's some primates
that you'd be like he was God

238
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240
was like, Nope, Nope, Nope.
I know that's a little weird but

239
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,640
trying to just make sense of
what the words that are doing

240
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,320
the test.
Where the world is today,

241
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:42,960
probably not that weird.
So I think I think that is true.

242
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Those themes go together 'cause
you see how the story unfolds.

243
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:49,520
Also, when you name something,
you're showing some sort of

244
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
authority over that.
You get named by someone.

245
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,960
I'm a parent, name's a child.
There's like this authority

246
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,720
there.
Coach gives you a nickname.

247
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,720
There you go.
Hey.

248
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,200
Yeah, we should have talked.
We can talk about nicknames.

249
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,320
You have any good nicknames?
My my standard was Big Bob.

250
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,040
Yeah, I wonder why.
Yeah, yeah, applesauce was one.

251
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Yeah, Scott, I can see that's
good.

252
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
That's great.
Wasn't the Fox.

253
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,200
Wasn't Trout.
Wasn't.

254
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,680
Yeah.
How about you?

255
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,400
I mean, I don't think I had any
great nicknames.

256
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Did they call you like the white
mambo or anything like that?

257
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,840
No that.
Was really cool.

258
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760
That would have been cool.
I don't think I don't think I

259
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,720
had any crate crate names.
But anyway, Adam naming probably

260
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,520
communicated some sort of that
dominion stewardship that that

261
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,400
kind of thing start.
We see that kind of all all the

262
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,520
way at the beginning when we
see, you know, parents naming

263
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000
children.
It has that concept of

264
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,840
authority, responsibility.
But sometimes parents name

265
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,720
children and God goes not so
fast.

266
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,720
Yeah, I'm actually going to name
them this.

267
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or he preemptively says you are

268
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,640
going to name him this.
Yeah.

269
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,680
That's great because maybe they
were, I don't know, thinking of

270
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:59,640
certain things.
So Isaac is giving me and we

271
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,320
know what the name Isaac.
Means laughter.

272
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,160
Laughter John the Baptist.
His name will be John.

273
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,720
He's like, there's no one in
your name.

274
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,360
There's no one in your family
name John.

275
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
And then he like writes it on
it.

276
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,680
And then, and then he says his
name is John.

277
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,120
It's great you know what John
means.

278
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,360
Isn't it?
I was going to say it's a

279
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,840
derivative of Joshua, but it's
not.

280
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,200
Is.
It it's not I think it is like

281
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,400
the one Jesus loved, or so I
think it's I think.

282
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,040
It like gets.
Its name from like the one that

283
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200
Jesus loved.
And the reason why I think that

284
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,200
is because if you look up the
name of Jack, they're like, oh,

285
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,320
it's a derivative from John,
meaning the one loved by Jesus

286
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,880
or one loved by God or something
like that.

287
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,400
And you look up what does
Jackson mean?

288
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,840
Oh, it's a derivative of Jack.
What's the derivative of John

289
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,520
and my kids Jackson.
So I think, I think they're

290
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,240
connected in that way.
So when John is saying he's the

291
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,200
one that Jesus loved, is he
telling us in a way his name?

292
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,560
You see, I, I, I can't tell if
he's saying that or if it's

293
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,800
like, because that was written,
it's taken on that meaning.

294
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,920
I, you know what I mean?
I don't, you know, the chicken

295
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,200
or the egg, you know, but that
that's it.

296
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,480
And then Jesus, you know, she'll
come and say Jesus preach, I'll

297
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200
save his people from their sins.
And that is the.

298
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Jesus and Joshua are basically
derivatives of the same name.

299
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Yeah, exactly right.
And so when God names someone,

300
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
he, it really does get into
their identity, their destiny.

301
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Like what?
What's going to happen is really

302
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,520
baked baked into their.
Also, Speaking of names, when

303
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,680
God reveals his name to Moses,
there's a lot into that as.

304
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Well, yeah, and he reveals his
name in more than one way.

305
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Like so he gives different names
to different people to to to

306
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,240
reveal different aspects of who
he is.

307
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:45,080
And so we we talk Yahweh a lot
where Jehovah I am who I am and

308
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,760
I love how like you read when
you read this, it's like all

309
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,560
cats, like all cats.
It's really just hitting you in

310
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,400
the face and speaks to so
everything about God.

311
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Just be I I love the tenses and
you know, it's like just all the

312
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,320
time, always eternally.
And God is not named by others.

313
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920
He reveals his own name.
We do see we talked about this

314
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,400
recently.
That's really the only person to

315
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,320
ever quote UN quote name God.
It really wasn't naming God was.

316
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520
The Mistress.
Yeah, yeah.

317
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,440
Hagar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

318
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,600
Which is like the one place we
kept like we, I think we talked

319
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,240
about that.
I think I have a spot in here.

320
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,720
The God.
Yeah, that's good.

321
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,760
And he, so she was really
recognizing of reality versus

322
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,720
like naming God.
But we see that in contrast to

323
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,000
Pagan gods are typically named
by humans, whereas Israel's God

324
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,240
named himself where God, you
know, we don't get to define

325
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760
God.
He divides himself and he's the

326
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,880
one who actually defines us.
So a little tangent of this,

327
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,880
humans do have this response
where they will I give titles to

328
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,640
God based on their interaction.
We've we've kind of talked a

329
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,720
little about these from Abraham,
but Genesis 22, Isaac may

330
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280
sacrifice.
It's Jehovah Jireh, Yahweh Yaira

331
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,880
God will provide Moses names and
altar Yahweh Nisi.

332
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,480
I don't know what what's nisi
mean?

333
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,840
I don't know what that I'll look
it up.

334
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,440
Let's look it up.
Gideon build, Yahweh, Shalom

335
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,240
peace.
And then Hagar is unique when

336
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,600
she calls God Elroy, the God who
sees me.

337
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920
My Lord is my banner.
My Lord is my banner.

338
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,720
OK, Nice.
Anyway, looking at Hagar, she's

339
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
kind of this marginalized
servant.

340
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,480
It's it's this, it's really a
testimony of sorts versus, you

341
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,560
know, you can see from the
context there that she's like,

342
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,080
you know, not in a great spot
with all this authority.

343
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Or that.
And it wasn't like she was

344
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,520
misnaming or mischaracterizing
him 'cause he does see he's all

345
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,000
knowing he and, but, and I think
he she meant that he saw her in

346
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,760
an experiential way.
Like I see you.

347
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,520
I see your plight.
I'm gonna rescue you.

348
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,000
You from this.
Let's talk.

349
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,119
I think this is interesting too.
The name of Jesus and the powers

350
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,240
of darkness.
It's always like these demons

351
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760
are always like I know your name
Jesus, like that's like one of

352
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,040
their go TS like I know your.
Name I know who you are.

353
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,880
I know you are, which always was
like that.

354
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,800
That's, you know, a little bit
interesting looking at doing a

355
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,440
little bit of research.
You know, in the Old Testament,

356
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,119
when a king conquered a city or
captured A servants, he often

357
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,560
renamed them.
We see that a little bit with

358
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840
like Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego and this kind of thing

359
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,360
or Pharaoh giving Joseph this,
you know, other name I.

360
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Know we kind of already talked
about this, but what about

361
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,640
nabal?
And Oh yeah, because nabal

362
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,400
basically means. 40 or 4.
And then Jabez as like something

363
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,360
like Son of My Heartache or
something like that, It's, yeah,

364
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,600
it's a bad meeting too.
So.

365
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,680
So there's some bad, bad
meetings in there.

366
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,800
Yeah, yeah, you can get some bad
beats.

367
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,880
Like that's what I always wonder
too.

368
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,320
Like this neighbor meaningful
because of that account, because

369
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,520
it's like what parent be like,
yeah, this idiot, you know,

370
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,880
like, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is, that

371
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,360
is strange.
So anyway, you would get

372
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,880
renamed.
So in a sense to be renamed was

373
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,560
someone kind of claiming
ownership on you might be a way

374
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,840
might be a reason why, you know,
demons are trying to they're

375
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,200
trying to exercise some sort of
authority like.

376
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,000
Daniel Hananiah as Ryan
Michelle, Yeah Nice are named

377
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,400
Beltashazzar, Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego all renamed for

378
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,120
those Chaldean gods.
Perfect example.

379
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,880
Yeah, that's that's exactly
right.

380
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,840
In the ancient world, maybe
knowing a name potentially could

381
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,320
mean control or leverage.
So the demons trying to assert

382
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,280
some sort of dominance by
speaking Jesus name, but Jesus

383
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,880
every time kind of shows, Hey,
my authority is actually greater

384
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,000
than your authority.
Let's see, I have a lot of notes

385
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,800
on this.
So it's like, oh, this is

386
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,360
interesting, but we can skip
through a lot of that that

387
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,160
that's essentially the the Cliff
Notes where demons cry out.

388
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,600
You're the son of God, Jesus,
when he rebukes them, he

389
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,000
actually doesn't even allow them
to speak anymore sometimes.

390
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,440
Also an interesting account.
We don't have to talk about it

391
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,160
now, but the sun's a skiva.
Like that's like such a great,

392
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,440
that's so crazy.
Oh man, we know Jesus, we know

393
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,520
Paul, we know both of those
people.

394
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,560
We don't know you like and and
they turn and like they leave

395
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,960
naked, right?
They're beaten up and their

396
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,960
clothes are taken off of them.
It's like a.

397
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,120
Weird.
We did, we did like Bible

398
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,520
quizzing.
I might have said the story

399
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,320
already.
And one time it was it for our

400
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,320
school.
It's like memorize a book of the

401
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,080
Bible or a few books and you get
asked questions.

402
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,920
So very specific.
It's all based on the KJV.

403
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,920
Obviously when I grew up and it
was one time it was Acts and the

404
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,800
way we did it would be like, hey
Zach, you've got Acts 12 through

405
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,160
17.
Like we would break it up.

406
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,800
Consider not everyone's
memorizing, but we'd have

407
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,720
responsibilities and we always
knew when there is a question

408
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,240
about people feeling wounded and
naked and it's like everyone,

409
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,720
like our school was not good
with there's other schools that

410
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,640
would beat us.
Like they would know, like every

411
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,080
kid would know all because they
were geniuses.

412
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,720
We were like we kind of we
studied, but not as much and

413
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,560
like we would stand up get some.
But there was one, one question,

414
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,160
like all five of us stood up and
we were like, beat the other kid

415
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,240
do it.
And it was like hilarious

416
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,200
because it was like the answer
was wounded and naked, but it's

417
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,520
like we were ready for it.
So let let's talk a little bit

418
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:26,200
about thinking of Jesus.
Renaming people and I don't.

419
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,960
I don't think I had good Old
Testaments examples, but if we

420
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,640
want to make this Abraham
adjacent, we should.

421
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,520
Abraham to.
Abraham, Abraham to.

422
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,720
Abraham Sarai to Sarah that's.
Good.

423
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,640
And 'cause I was, I'm going to
bring this into my adoption

424
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,920
class.
I was looking this up in Romans

425
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,920
417.
We know Romans 4 is talking all

426
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,840
about justification by faith
alone and using Abraham as an

427
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,760
example.
I think this ties in really

428
00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:01,080
nicely. 417 says, as it is
written, I have made you the

429
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,840
father of many nations in the
presence of the God in whom he

430
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,240
believed.
And then it says this, God gives

431
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,640
life to the dead and calls into
existence the things that do not

432
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
exist.
So he renames Abraham.

433
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,680
Abraham's not a father in many
nations, but he makes him a

434
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,240
father.
Like it's like what God does

435
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,240
when he renames someone.
I like that concept.

436
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,280
We're talking about that a lot
with adoption and having a new

437
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240
name and that kind of thing.
But it's like he was not this.

438
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720
And now Abraham and Sarah are
these things.

439
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,720
Yeah, and then his grandson
Jacob.

440
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,240
Great, great one deceiver.
Yeah, yeah.

441
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,080
Deceiver of Israel, that's like
such a twist or such a about

442
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560
face from deceiver to Israel,
which I think means to struggle

443
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280
with or to prevail or to grapple
with and win kind of thing.

444
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,920
I'm trying to think of other.
And then there's I know there's

445
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,960
a ton of Old Testament names
like what they mean by.

446
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,280
I'm trying to.
Think of any renames.

447
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,520
I can't think of any other
renames.

448
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Yeah, the Old Testament.
I'm blanket, but in the New

449
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,640
Testament Jesus renaming,
probably the most pivotal one

450
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,880
ever remembers is Peter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

451
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:09,880
Simon to Peter, he gives them.
He gives him the name Cephas

452
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Aramaic or Peter in Greek
meaning rock.

453
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:15,280
I wish I would know what Simon
meant.

454
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,280
Yeah, it sounds like a joke that
I would make, you know, like,

455
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,000
oh, your name is Sand.
You know what?

456
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,440
I'm going to call you Rock, You
know?

457
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,080
Yeah, yeah.
That's good.

458
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,400
That's good.
So I think me and me and Jesus

459
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,720
have similar humor.
There you go.

460
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,840
Get get some of that that humor
I have here.

461
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,840
James and John, sons of Thunder
nickname given by Jesus, likely

462
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,480
point to their fiery
personalities.

463
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Namely, they want to be like,
hey, got Jesus, you want us to

464
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,360
call down fire from heaven?
We'll do it after this.

465
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000
And then the classic one.
Remember when when God renamed

466
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,960
Saul to Paul?
Right.

467
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,560
It's when he was bad.
He was Saul.

468
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,720
Yeah.
And then when he was good, he

469
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,800
was.
Paul, I'll be honest.

470
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,120
I mean, I know there's King Saul
didn't have the best reputation,

471
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:02,000
but probably I heard a lot of
names.

472
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,120
No one's naming their kids Saul.
You know what I mean?

473
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:08,200
Yeah.
Yeah, so if you didn't catch the

474
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,560
tone of the voice, Saul doesn't
actually start going by Paul

475
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,800
until he and Barnabas are sent
out from the church at Antioch.

476
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,720
And most people who look into it
assume it's because Paul is a

477
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,320
more of a Greek name.
Saul's more of a Hebrew name.

478
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960
They sound similar.
And so you're going to go

479
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,920
minister to Greeks, call
yourself Paul.

480
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,720
So that's so he was converted
for quite some time and going by

481
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,160
Saul.
So it wasn't at the conversion,

482
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,920
it was at the, oh, my ministry
has changed.

483
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800
I'm going to minister you.
I'm going to adopt A new name.

484
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,360
That's good all.
Right, we're going to have Jason

485
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,400
go in.
Oh yeah, That's not his real

486
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,640
first name, right?
Right.

487
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,400
Right, right.
Yeah, yeah, that, that's a good

488
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,360
point where, yeah, if you were
going on a mission trip, maybe

489
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:56,840
you'd be on the names Miguel or
something.

490
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't even know what his

491
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,680
real name is, but that's his
Americanized name.

492
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,040
But we always had, I remember
the very first time he, he he

493
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080
and his wife were here, we
always had Jason and Paul I And

494
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,080
she's like, I have, like I have
an Americanized name too.

495
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,840
It's Valencia.
So you could call me Valencia.

496
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,320
And it was by that time, Paul, I
had already stopped you.

497
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Can't.
You can't change.

498
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,400
Yeah.
And so went to a small Christian

499
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,320
School, We had like, not like 35
people in a class, Spanish

500
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,840
class.
There was 2 Zacks.

501
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,120
And so one Zack was like
Zacharias or whatever.

502
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,960
I got Luis, it was even closer.
I was just picking a different

503
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,280
name.
Yeah, for my Spanish name.

504
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,480
So that was what I always
referred to.

505
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,920
But that's good 'cause people
don't know about the Saul Paul.

506
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,360
Yeah, they just assume it will
happen at conversion.

507
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,720
We read about, you know, this
concept of names in the New

508
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Testament.
Philippians 2 talks about Jesus

509
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,040
having the name of every other
name that his name brings, this

510
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,400
divine authority.
Believers were to act in his

511
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,160
name.
It's not this superstitious,

512
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,480
mystical thing, but there's
power in in the name of Jesus.

513
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,440
Not this formula, but
declaration of his authority.

514
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Then we get, we probably should
read this passage.

515
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,320
Yeah, go for it.
Yeah, I was just going to say if

516
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,240
I pray, I still addend it right.
Yeah, yeah, in Jesus name.

517
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,560
It's just habit, but there's no
magic in those words.

518
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,480
Your prayer didn't count if you
didn't say Jesus name.

519
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,840
Yeah, yeah, it didn't even
count.

520
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,880
And that's not even really what
it means, but it's, and

521
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,600
sometimes I will consciously not
in my prayer like that, but

522
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,880
it's, it's just how I grew up.
So it's it's, it's there.

523
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,480
But so you're going to turn to
Revelation.

524
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Yeah, this this great passage
that talks about some names of

525
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Jesus that are explicit and some
names of Jesus that no one, no

526
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,480
one knows, John writes.
And he says, I saw heaven open

527
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,120
and behold a White Horse.
The one sitting on it is called

528
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,720
faithful and true.
And in righteousness he judges

529
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,440
and makes war.
His eyes are like a putting fire

530
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,640
on his header when he died.
He has a he has a name written

531
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,040
that no one knows but himself.
And so that that's interesting

532
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,920
too, that maybe going back to
some of this, like we can't

533
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,120
comprehend or understand, like
it's outside of human faculties.

534
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,680
That's what it's trying to get.
It's not like it's like, oh, you

535
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
just can't pronounce this.
It's like speaking to the

536
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,640
character of Jesus.
He's inexhaustible,

537
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,040
uncontainable, never subject to
anything in humanity.

538
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080
And then when we are adopted, we
are children of God.

539
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:25,080
We are given a new name, we're
in God's family and all these

540
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,840
things come along with that,
that I'm preparing for this

541
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,440
adoption Sunday school down the
road.

542
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,160
So I was like, oh, this would be
a good podcast.

543
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,040
Just.
Naming, you know, and we've

544
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,000
talked about you and Leanne
doing the podcast, but I think

545
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,920
what we decided on is maybe I
just interviewed the two of you.

546
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,400
That would be good.
And that way you don't really

547
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,640
have to prepare a lot unless
unless Leanne wants the

548
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
questions ahead of time.
She might want want that.

549
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,760
But so maybe as part of this
class, we'll do it.

550
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,400
That would be.
Good.

551
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,640
I like it.
I love it.

552
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,680
Naming, we went all over the
place.

553
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,360
Anything else that we did not
hit on the naming fronts?

554
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,760
I'm trying to think if there's
anyone we're just missing that

555
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:11,440
got renamed, but I can't.
I can't think think of it.

556
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,240
I'm sure there are.
Plenty.

557
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,080
But, you know, we can't, we
can't, we can't get it right all

558
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,480
of the time.
But names more, more meaningful

559
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,560
than in our culture where people
just name stuff.

560
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,920
Yeah, because, you know, some
people got some weird.

561
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Names.
Oh yeah, yeah.

562
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,480
Today, where people just.
Oh, today.

563
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,440
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

564
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Like.
People just name people,

565
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,360
whatever.
Yeah, Jolangelo Lamangelo.

566
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,600
And if you look at it, it looks
like lemon, lemon jello.

567
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,120
That's pretty funny.
Yeah.

568
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,680
There were these.
Yeah.

569
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,040
There's a lot.
Yeah.

570
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,600
So.
Well, that people.

571
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,440
Yeah.
Yeah.

572
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,400
For real.
It's like, what are we?

573
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720
What are we doing here?
You would think people would

574
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,360
take, like, time and attention
with names.

575
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:00,920
But I guess lives are busy, you
know, So who who am I to, you

576
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,880
know, judge on that?
But that, that's all I got as

577
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,000
well.
That's our take.

578
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,840
