Hey everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Good morning, and hello, good morning and hello, or whenever you happen to be listening to this one. Nope, good morning and hello. Okay, just good morning. Just good morning. Hey, August 1st is upon us and so we're in the month that school begins, and so I know a lot of our families are getting ready to ramp up there. Some of our homeschool families, I think we're even starting back in July. End of July. I'm looking at you Crew's family. I heard something about you guys already starting school, which seems borderline criminal and maybe the Kims were jumping on that board too. I don't know. But my kids, they start in a couple weeks here. We ordered all their school supplies, which I was out at Target the other night with my wife after a date. And we were walking through and all the signs were back to school. And I just, I told her, I said, when I was growing up, I hated that. I hated seeing the commercials come on TV that were talking about going back to school. I hated going into Walmart and places like that and seeing the signs for, back to school supplies. And now as a parent I'm like, okay, school's coming again. Let's let's get back into the routine. Yeah. I do miss the routine. I don't miss the school necessarily, but I do miss the routine. Yeah. In fact Tabby's going to kindergarten this year. That's, she's one of my younger daughters. And one of the cool things that Lichens Elementary did is they sent some teachers over for a porch visit. Oh, that's really cool. That was really cool. I was surprised. I knew it was coming, but I still delighted when I saw them show up to the door, there were two of their lady teachers not one of Tabby's teachers, but one of the lady teachers, two of them rather, and they came with a little gift bag and a few small knickknacks and things like that. So that was pretty cool. I enjoyed that, but I'm gonna miss my kids man. Yeah. I like having them home all the time and being able to say, let's go do something and everyone can do it because no one's going off to this or that, but things are changing. Life continues to get life continues to get to go on and I continue to get older. So are my kids. So enjoy the season the way you have it, is what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. There's that country song, you only get so many summers and that one, how does that go? That one gets me sing it a little bit in the fields. How's it go? You can look it up on Spotify. It makes more sense to just check there but if they were gonna hum it to their phone to identify the song, how would it go? They could do that by looking it up on Spotify, by just typing it in. But if they were gonna do that, dude, don't act like you don't do singing and playing. The guitar word on the street is that you do this at all of your small groups. That is a false world. On the street. You demand that they sing along with, you're like, this is, I'm leading and worship guys, this is a lie. Stand up and lift your hands. I think twice we've done this. I hide behind an instrument though I don't, I'm not an acapella guy. I've always hidden behind an instrument. I have a guitar in my hands. That's what, if I've got that, okay, fine. I will add guitar in post. Go for it. Let's not though, that's a different podcast's, not this podcast. If I need to, I can strip the audio from your talking. You can. And make it a song. Totally. You can. And you can say, and you know what? That's not actually me. So here's your voice. By the way, listen, man, with all your mannerisms, stay listening to the end of the podcast today. You might be greeted with somebody else who knows. Oh, okay. I'm just saying saw somebody was playing around with some settings on the podcast. I do want to make our podcast better, so that's great. So I'm always looking for ways and I think I have a couple ideas that we'll be able to implement sooner or later. We'll see. I'm figuring out, it's one of those things where it's if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah. But if I can make it better, maybe I do wanna break it a little bit. Yeah. And see if I can fix it even better than it was before. Yeah. Around with it. You can't. It's, it conflicts with the, what's that saying? You can't make an omelet without cracking a few chickens. I think it's eggs, but chickens too. Yeah. Same difference. Yeah, same difference. They're pre chickens, yeah. So you are cracking the chicken. That's right. That's right. Even though the chicken's not there. Eggs are weird, man. I love eggs. They're great, but it's also really weird. Like it's a weird concept. Someone had to do it first and I'm grateful they did milk. Same thing. Milk coming out of a cow. It's yeah, let's try that. Let's try that. Milk. Yeah. Let's that fluid that just came outta that animal. Yeah, let's eat that. Let's try let's make that a cheese. Yeah, let's, look. That oval that popped outta, that chickens behind. Let's crack that open. See if it tastes good. Someone had to do it. Yeah. And I'm grateful they did. I'm glad we weren't the first people to do it. I don't know that I'd be bold enough. Follow in other people's footsteps on that. Culinary speaking, what what's one food that you just do not like? You can't stand it. You're like, no way. I'm not gonna eat that. In my younger years I probably would've said something like sushi or some kind of vegetable. Yeah. But I think as I'm getting older, I'm trying to be much more open to different kinds of foods. Yeah. So I don't know that there's anything that I'd be So more, you know what, balut maybe that, yes. Balu that one for sure. It's extreme, but yeah, I couldn't do it. In describe Balut to those that don't know what Balut is. It's a fertilized duck egg. So the duck is not alive anymore, but it's fertilized. So it's not just the yoke and the. And the there's feathers. Yeah. It's basically a formed duck Yes. That you eat. Raw as I understand it. Yes. And that's a delicacy in the Philippines. Yes. And I think they can keep that. I'm good a hundred percent. Nope. Don't want it. So there are a few foods though. I'm not Andrew Zimmer and I'm not trying to do Bizarre foods or anything, but I'm more open. I did sushi for the first time at Compass. Aliso Viejo. Yep. Because someone wanted to eat sushi for lunch. And I'm like okay, I guess here we go. And I did okay. I didn't die. There's other foods too that I've eaten because people wanted to eat it. And I'm grateful for the experience. I just, I prefer certain foods. I know that I do. But I'm open to it. What about you? Yeah I've was braver in my younger years than I am probably now. Is that right? Yeah. You're going the opposite direction. Yeah. 'cause in high school, like my buddies and I would go to, to sushi and I had one guy that flexed on everybody. He was like, let's do coil eggs. And so they brought out raw coil eggs and we took those, which that was not tasty. Yikes. But we did it. Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm not a huge fan of adventure, fat, back fuck oh, fat back. Yeah. Like I'm I don't love fat on my meat, and I know that puts me in a minority. I'd rather have just the meat. I don't really need the gristle. And everybody's like the flavors of the gr I'm like, yeah, but I don't wanna chew the animals fat and squeeze the fla. It just, so when you get brisket, do you get lean or moist? I had 10 tours in lean. Really? Yeah. And I appreciate the bark. Wow. I appreciate that. I appreciate the flavor of the meat, the smoke and the meat. Wow. But I just am not a big fat guy. I don't love You're not a big fat guy. You can clip that one. You can clip that one. Pastor. I'm not a big fat guy. I would agree. You're not a big fat guy. Thanks, man. Thank you. I appreciate that. But fat in my meats guy. Yeah. Leviticus three 16. All fat belongs to God, so he can keep it. Alright. I don't need it. All right. I don't need it. Yeah. Anyways, just some random conversation. Hey, let's finish Isaiah today. How about that? Isaiah 64, 65 and 66, we're gonna get all three of them. Chapter 64 continues Isaiah's prayer for God's mercy in light of God's impending judgment. And so in verses one through four, the prophet is gonna ask the Lord to come and make himself known among the nations in the fury of his great wrath and power. And so he opens up and says Lord, that you would come down and that the mountains might quake in your presence, that you would render that word re means to tear open the heavens as when fire. Kindles Brushwood, and the fire causes water to boil. It's a very intense picture of God's wrath and judgment, and the prophet is both inviting it and terrified of it at the same time in chapter 64. In fact, in verses six through seven, the prophet Isaiah, he confesses Israel's sinfulness the sinfulness of the nations even so much so that their righteous deeds were repulsive to the father. And that's that famous line that's so often quoted. That our righteous deeds are as filthy garments before the Lord. And that means that when we take our righteous deeds before him and say, are you pleased with us? Look at these righteous deeds. Is, are we good with you? Now, it doesn't matter what I used to do or what I am still doing over here. Look I've done this. And so can this be acceptable to you? It's not that God doesn't desire people to do acts of righteousness, he does. But when we take those acts of righteousness and we make those the foundation of a relationship with him when we're living a. A life totally aberrant to those things on the side over here. Then that's when it becomes disgusting and repulsive to him because it's as though we can somehow make ourselves holy. Because remember, that's the standard. Even the Old Testament, you shall be holy for I'm holy. It's as though we can make ourselves holy by stacking up a few Jenga blocks of good deeds over here while we're, over here living a life of total debauchery. And that's why in God's eyes, these righteous deeds are disgusting to him. They're a polluted garment for him, and Isaiah is calling the nations out on that as he's calling God to come and judge the nations. So as a Christian then are. All of our righteous deeds, like polluted garments in front of the Lord. No. And the key difference there is we have been sanctified by the spirit. We, we have been washed, we've been cleansed, as Paul even says and now the deeds that we do, even as my wife just preached to the ladies. Last week, and I believe from Ephesians are the good works that God prepared beforehand for us to walk in them so we can fall prey to the same mentality as Christians. We can come before the Lord and say, man, Lord, I, it was a bad week and I sin this week. And instead of repenting the way that we should repent, we can come be before him with a track record of, but hey, you know what? The last few days I did my daily bob reading every single day and I. I, I didn't listen to bad things on the radio and I didn't cuss, and God, are you okay with me? Now, that's the same mentality that, that Israel possessed back there, so we can fall prey to that. But as Christians, we now have the ability in and by the spirit to walk in obedience to him in a way that pleases him and actually is not repulsive, but attractive to him. Yes and amen to that. I think a lot of people possess some of the framework about their works that came from a lot of the Puritan writings. I love the Puritans as much as the next guy. I've read lots of the Puritans. I enjoy it. I love the Valley of Vision, that little prayer book. Oh yeah, those are fantastic. But perhaps one of the biggest dangers that Puritans spoke about was the way that God viewed our works post-conversion. That is after becoming a Christian, how God sees our works. And as much as I appreciate Isaiah 64, 6 identifying the kind of works that we produce outside of Christ. In Christ. It's a whole different ball game, as others would say, it's a whole nother level. So who would that be? I don't know. Yeah. All I'm saying is that you need to look at your works as something that do please. Christ Good Works are not aberrant. In the new covenant. In fact, they are encouraged. They are meant to manifest your godliness on the inside. They're the external verification of the spirit's work inside of you. So when you see a verse like this, it's important to understand it not as a Christian in the spirit post-conversion post across. This is very much true for those who try to come to God and say, look at God. Look. Look at all the good works I'm doing. God, aren't you pleased with me? And of course the answer is no. You have to understand God wants your good works God, you can please God with your good works. You can grieve the spirit by not doing good works. And therefore when you see a verse like this please don't misunderstand. We're not talking about your works in Christ. In Christ. Your works are valuable and God loves them. In fact, one of my favorite verses in one Peter, which we're gonna be covering soon. He says this in verse five of chapter two. He says, you yourselves, like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood. Get this to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. The sacrifices of your good works, your worship, your service to the Lord is acceptable through Jesus Christ. And that adds a whole lot more color to this verse as we're understanding it. Yeah. Chapter 64 continues as the chapter. Comes to a conclusion, Isaiah is left to simply ask for God's mercy in the midst of this. And that's verse eight. But now, oh Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, you are the potter. We are all the work of your hand. Be not so terribly angry, oh Lord. And remember, not iniquity forever. So Isaiah is doing the only thing that he can do with the nation at this point in casting himself on the mercy of God and asking that God would show that mercy to them rather than consuming them and completely destroying them. Um. Chapter 65, though God is clear in the first seven verses that the judgment has to come. So Isaiah is asking for mercy and God is gonna begin here in the first opening seven verses of this and say but judgment has to come. Verse three A, people who provoke me to my face continually. And then he says, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks who sit. In tombs, which would've been very defiling and spend the night in secret places, eating pigs, flesh an animal that was unclean by the law. So God is just giving a laundry list here of some of the things that the Israel had been guilty of. Not even all of them, but just some of them, and saying, they must be punished for these things. And so judgment has to come in order for God to remain just. Paul's gonna say in the New Testament that God is able to be both the both just and the justifier, but he qualifies this of the one who has faith in Jesus Christ. And that's the only way that God can show mercy to us and not completely destroy us for our sins today is because they were punished by him on the cross of Jesus. Prior to this, at this point in time with this rebellious nation, God has to punish sin because it's part of his character. He's just, and he has to be a God that is going to not let sin stand as unpunished. Yeah, some of these passages are challenging because we often see these and we put them in contrast of the New Testament. Lots of people will say, isn't the God of the Old Testament angry in the God of the New Testament, gentle, meek, and mild? So help us frame that. How do we read passages like this and. Put it together with what we see in the New Testament, which is primarily, although not only an image of a gentle and lowly God come in the flesh to save us. Yeah. We have to remember, even as I was preaching this past Sunday, that God is immutable, so God is not sometimes angry, sometimes joyful. He's all of these things in what's known as a steady state because his character doesn't change, nor do his emotions and infections change. It's the doctrine of impass. What we see in scripture is that there are times that. That the things that we do cause us to understand or see a certain facet of his character. And sin will reveal the wrath of God. Whereas obedience and faithfulness will reveal his joyfulness, his love, his compassion, kindness, his tenderness. That doesn't mean that he stops being a God of wrath against sin when he's showing us kindness and compassion and tenderness. The other thing that you have to look at in the Old Testament is say God did not leave them without opportunities to repent. God had sent the prophets, God had given them the law. God had given them his. His word, and even at times for some the spirit and the presence of the spirit, that what was different in the Old Testament was still active, was still there. And so God had given them plenty of opportunities to repent and to, as Abraham, Abraham had done, believe in him and in his promises, and have that faith credited to them as righteousness. In fact, we're reading a book from somebody who during this time. Understood and got it. Isaiah was following the Lord. He was a man who was not perfect by any stretch, but he was a man who trusted in the Lord and was faithful to the Lord. We're reading about Hezekiah. Hezekiah was gonna be a good king. Later on. We're gonna see about Josiah in a couple weeks. So there were men that were doing it, so it wasn't as though it was impossible. But for the people still rebelling against God, man, God was gonna be just in his wrath. Now, in this dispensation of the church, it's not as though God is not wrathful. Rowans two five Paul says, God, that mankind, the rebellious mankind, is storing up wrath for themselves currently for the day of judgment. God, first Peter or second Peter is gonna say is not, pa is not slow to, to return, but is being patient right now. He's actually showing us a kindness right now to say, I'm not gonna wipe you off the face of the earth. And yet that doesn't mean that he's not gonna punish sin. So we see the same God in the Old Testament as we do in the New Testament, and you even see glimpses of it, which Jesus, when Jesus walks into the temple courts and sees the money changers there in the court of the Gentiles, like we talked about a couple days ago, he gets angry. He, there's wrath there and he flips the tables over and he drives the animals and the changers out with a cord of whips. That, that's a wrathful God that we see there. So I think it's the distinction is overblown. But I do understand why people see the distinction. Verses eight through 10. There, there is a remnant. And that's again, evidence of the fact that this is not impossible here. And so in, in eight through 10, God is saying I will be merciful and I'm gonna be merciful to this, remnant to the few who would seek him. And if he was. Being sought by them, they would be able to find him. And I love verse 10 because it says, Sharon shall become a pasture for the flocks in the Valley of Acre, A place for herds to lie down. Now Acre is hearkening back to Aiken, the sin of Aiken. And it was called that after Aiken's death and his family's death after he stole some of the booty, some of the loot from you like that, from ai. And. He came back and God revealed the punishment. The valley of acre means valley of trouble, but here it says the valley of acre is gonna become a place of peace, a place for herds to lie down for my people who have sought me. So God is still gonna be merciful to his people There. And so there's a distinction. And that's really what we see here between the faithful and the faithless and God's actions towards both. And that's really what we're seeing in Chapter 65. Okay, let's get to the new Heavens, the New Earth, though. Yes, everybody wants to know. Yes. I've been getting so many questions. Thousands of emails, probably what's going on in verse 20. No more shall there be in it. An infant who lives, but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days for the young man shall die a hundred years old and the sinner a hundred years old shall be a curse. So what's happening here? This is the millennial reign of Christ it looks like. Yes. And yet there's also death taking place. How do we put these two pieces together? Yeah, for sure. I think we, we mentioned this a couple days ago, but sin is still gonna be present on earth during the millennial reign of Christ. His presence on earth is gonna curb a lot of that. Satan is gonna be bound for a thousand years, but. The people that are born during this time are not born in glorified bodies. The inhabitants of the millennial kingdom are not those that have their glorified bodies, and so they still have the natural bodies. They're still descendants and offspring of Adam, and so they're still dealing with the natural corruption of what we know as total depravity, and they're still gonna need to turn to Jesus in faith. In fact, we didn't get there in, just to bring this up for you again, pastor Rod, but Zacharia talks about. This future when the Nation of Israel will actually look on him, whom they have pierced, and they're gonna mourn, they're gonna repent and they're gonna trust in him. And it says there that a fountain of forgiveness, a fountain of blessing, is gonna be open for the, that people. So the millennial kingdom inhabitants, the Israelites, are gonna need to believe the gospel in order to be made right with God, even during that time. And those that don't are gonna be alienated from him during that time and that sin, this is why we can't say the devil made me do it. Just because the devil's gonna be bound for a thousand years doesn't mean that sin is not gonna be here. But it's gonna be curbed. There's gonna be a difference there because the presence of Jesus, I think is going to counteract a lot of the results of the fall, a lot of the presence of the fall. But there are still gonna people that be people that died during the millennial reign of Christ. So who's present at the millennial reign of Christ? Let's answer that at, there's at least a couple. Different groups of people that we can expect there. Yeah. And there are gonna be people that are made Christians during the tribulation period. Yep. Who are now part of the millennial reign of Christ. Yep. They're there. So they're gonna have kids presumably. And those kids are not saved by default. It's still the same idea here. You're not a Christian simply because you're born into a Christian home. And that's also gonna be the case when you have believers who come out of the tribulation and into the millennial reign of Christ, they're gonna have kids. And remember, this is a thousand years, we believe it's an actual thousand years. And so there's plenty of time for there to be several generations of people that are not Christians. And believe it or not, even though they're gonna have a perfect ruler in Christ, they're still going to. Disregard his rulership and they're gonna wanna rebel. And so those people are permitted to live and to thrive and to continue to have kids and to build, who knows, schools and factions that are disassociated from Christ. And at the same time, this is also interesting. There's gonna be a crowd of people. We believe believers are gonna be there. We're glorified believers, those who come back to reign with Christ for those thousand years. So you're gonna have a really odd mixture of people, and you're gonna have the literal Jesus reigning in the literal Jerusalem. For a literal thousand years, you're gonna have glorified believers ruling and reigning with him. But you're also gonna have a large faction of unbelievers. Presumably those who are born two, believing families after the. The Tribulational period. Is there anyone else, any class of people that were missing here or is that just about cover it? I think that covers it, that the offspring of the believers saved on the tribulation will populate the nations, 'cause the nations are described as coming to Jerusalem during that time. So everything is not taking place right there in Jerusalem. There is. Some of a population of the globe at that time. Now it's not the new Earth yet, even though the title in your ESV says New Heavens and New Earth, that's distinct. The New Earth is instituted after the millennial reign of Christ comes to an end. But I don't know if it's just the Middle East there, if it's gonna be people are living in Dallas, Texas during this time. Who knows, but there, there is a population that does spread out. And again, that thousand years gives that opportunity for a lot of that to take place. Yeah. So to be clear here, verse 17 does say, for behold, I create a new heavens and a new Earth. Yes. But there is a technical way that we understand that. Yes. I guess in this sense, we're talking about a non-technical usage, but there is in the book of Revelation, a new heavens and a new earth that ushers in the, not the millennial state, but the eternal state. This is when Jerusalem comes down. She's a 1300 mile. Cube, and this is when God restores and renews all things. So this, that is what it says, but we're trying to say there's a more technical usage in, in Revelation chapter 2021. 21, yeah. 21. Yep. Yeah. Okay. Good question. Yeah. Yes. Because you were asking it is what I'm saying. All of you guys listening. Yes. I knew you were thinking it. I just asked on your behalf. Good question. Good question, guys. Yeah. Isaiah 66. This is the last chapter and it opens by just a reminder that God's not impressed with a building of facade or anything else like that. The sacrifices of a people whose hearts were far from him. But what does God want? He wants a person who's gonna draw me to him with a broken and contrite heart. This is similar to David in Psalm 51 when he's confessing. His sin with Bathsheba. He says, God, the sacrifices you to light in our broken and contrary heart, he says, you will not despise those things. And that's similar to what he's talking about here. Verses seven through 13 expressed this confidence that God is going to deliver his people, albeit through the pains of labor that they're gonna feel through God's judgment. But they would be brought through and God was gonna comfort Jerusalem even as a mother comforts her child. And so just a tender and compassionate picture of God here. And then the. Book really comes to its head and its conclusion here with a, another zoom in on the the millennial kingdom judgment is gonna be there. But then the donning of the millennial kingdom, and in the millennial kingdom, he's gonna use his faithful remnant again as a light to the nations we've been talking about. We just talked about that, that they're going to be there even as a witness to the nations and the god bless the priesthood is gonna be restored. We talked about that. That's interesting. I think we'll have occasion to talk about that in more detail later on, but why is the temple there with sacrifices? In the millennial kingdom. Yep. That's a unique one. We'll deal with that another day. Yeah, but this is the millennial kingdom here in, in chapter 66. And just God's glory being displayed in judgment is another theme here, which is another difficult one. But verse 24, they shall go out and look on the dead bodies. And the men who have rebelled against me for their worms shall not die. And their flesh, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall become an adherent to all flesh. They're going out to look at these as a testimony to God's greatness and his justice, his holiness, his power. And so the millennial kingdom is gonna be a, it's. It's gonna be an amazing place, but also it's gonna be an odd place. It's not gonna look anything like what it looks like today. Yeah. Which goes to show that God is always up to things that we may not fully understand and that's why it's important that Isaiah starts. This whole section with the one that God looks to is the one who's humble and contract, the one who trembles at his word. And I think that's critical because so often we can stand over God's word and say does that make sense to me? Would I do it that way? Why would God say such a thing? Or why would he do such a thing? The humble and contract person trembles at God's word as if to say, I believe everything that you're saying, and I may not be able to understand it and comprehend it. I may not be able to logic it to my mind, but I trust that you're such a large, wise mind that you could. Put this stuff together and make it make sense. So this is the posture that God wants us to have with his word. Even today. Trembling at his word doesn't necessarily mean I'm afraid of it, but there is an awestruck love and adoration that happens when you're reading what The Eyes of Faith. You recognize that if God is who he says he is, if he is all powerful, if he's all righteous and all knowing, and all everything, all the omnis. And then there is reason to behold his glory with a bit of trepidation. This is why we continually come back to the refraining that we hold a high view of God. Not because we say, Hey we think this is a good idea. We should say that we hold God in high regard, or because God's word tells us to think about him. In that way, the opposite of the person who trembles at his word is the one that you just mentioned, pastor pge, the one that God judges. The one who've. The one who has rebelled against me. And those are the people that the worm doesn't die. The fire shall not be quenched. Of course, if you're paying attention, you know that this is language that is utilized to refer to hell. Yep. This is the earliest reference, and it comes from Isaiah. Isaiah saying God's enemies are judged in this particular way. And what does it mean then that the worm does not die? Do you have any idea about what that refers to Pastor pj? In, in the context of hell, it deals with the fact that there's eternal torment. And I think this is probably just a reminder that though God's judgment is exercised against his foes and their bodies are gonna lay there, and from an earthly perspective and even in the millennial kingdom, from their eyes, they're gonna look at that and say their life is done. It's a reminder, I think that the life is not done. That there's an eternal life and that soul is gonna be in torment until it receives its resurrected body. Because the souls in hell have their own resurrected bodies coming as well, but they are only different in that they're prepared for eternal judgment rather than eternal bliss in the presence of God, the way that the bodies of resurrected believers will be. I think it's just a reminder to us that God's judgment is gonna be, yes, it's gonna involve physical death, but there's more to it than that and it's permanent. I always understood the analogy or the imagery better said about the worm as being like a maggots that's consuming the flesh. Yeah. Maggots will lay eggs in there and they'll produce more maggots. On and on goes. It's super appealing and appetizing. This is what God utilizes is to describe the. Experience of hell. So a worm shall not die, fire shall not be quenched. Both elements speak to this suffering. The ongoing suffering of the recipient, the worm not dying, suggests that there's some kind of fleshly component and there's some kind of eating or wasting away without actually ever ceasing. That's terrifying. And if that weren't terrifying enough, the fire not being quenched tells it that there's an ongoing. Conscious awareness of suffering there, which is why we refer to hell as eternal conscious torment. Some refer to it as ECT, eternal Conscious Torment, and that's where we see some of the earliest hints here in Isaiah. Now, God continues to develop this idea throughout the rest of scripture. My point in bringing this up though is that this is what the end point is for the proud, and this is not something that's pretty, we should therefore. Tremble at his word appropriately. So not fear, not. Fear of condemnation, not trepidation in the ungodly. Survival sense, but a fear of love. A fear of respect. A fear of deference and honor. That's what Isaiah's calling us to, among many of the themes. Humility before God's word is one of those. Yeah. Which is something that the spirit is gonna produce within us. We can't work that up. We can't conjure that up ourselves. That's a, an attitude that comes once you're saved. Is to understand that fear in a way that, that God desires us to. So well, let's pray and then we'll be done with this episode. God, thanks for your word and thanks for allowing us to, to spend that time in Isaiah. We are grateful for this book. It's, there's a lot here, things that we weren't able to touch on. But again, we are so grateful for your truth, and so we pray that we would be faithful to live it out as well. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Keep in your Bibles. Tune in again tomorrow for another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Bye.
