Hey everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Hello. Welcome back. It is the last Sunday of 2025, so hopefully you're coming to church. Aw, are you disappointed? Yeah, a little bit sad. 2025 is. Almost officially behind us. It is almost, you'll never get behind another 2025. That's true. Can't get our time back. That's right. Yeah. So it's sad. Yes. But I am looking forward to coming to church. Yeah. Which makes the use of our time extra important. Right? That's right. And the things that we choose to invest in. Mm-hmm. We're gonna be talking about that this morning. We're gonna be talking about why God's word is the best investment that we can make in 2026, and we'll yield the best ROI on our time in 2026. Mm-hmm. And then my family and I are taking off, we're getting away for a little bit after that. And we'll be back in about a week or so. January 9th is when you're coming back into the office. Yeah, back to the office. So you're gonna be gone for a long time forever. Which of course, raises questions for people who listen to our podcast. Whatcha are you guys gonna do for the podcast? Well. Right now you're listening to us record this on December 24th because we are recording. I've just gotta tell them quite a few, tell them what we're doing. Nevermind. Tell them scratch that. Forget that. Hey, we're still here. We're gonna be here for at least the first several days, six days, I think, of 2026. Yeah. And then we have something up our sleeve, which we hope that you'll enjoy. If you don't like it, then I'm sorry, but that's what we chose to do. It's my fault. But if you do like it, then it'll be a fun out of the ordinary, something novel. So we're gonna keep this thing going, even though it may not be what you normally expect. Yeah, yeah. But it'll be good. So tune in. Yeah. And the most important thing is that you stay consistent in reading the word. Yeah. This is an accompaniment. This is a help to it. This is not the main course. It's a supplement. Yeah. Yeah. So don't listen to us and be like, okay, well I got my DBR done for the day. It's like those old serial commercials used to say. Part of a balanced breakfast. Yes. Wasn't the balanced breakfast? Not the whole, no one who knew anything thought that that was a balanced breakfast. In fact, I think it's even supe suspicious and highly suspect to say that it's part of a balanced breakfast. I don't think it's any part of it. Pancakes, cinnamon, toast, crunch, none of that is part of a balanced breakfast. Thank you very much. It could be, depending on, it cannot. What's balanced on the other side? No, it's, there's no place for it. That's not true. There's no place for it. There's, there's. And there's a place for it. It depends on what you mean by balanced Well. So if you're referring to a healthy breakfast, then I don't think Cinnamon Toast Crunch really fits the bill in any regard. But if you're referring to something that brings joy and happiness, that's different as part of a balanced breakfast, that's different. Christmas day. Yeah. You go for it. You eat all the good stuff. Thanksgiving, you go for it. Eat. You should drink a whole glass of red number 40. Just for kicks. I was wondering where you going? A whole glass of red. Of red. What? Red number? Red dye 40. Do all those things. But the rest of the year or whenever, you know, if it's not a birthday party, things like that. You, you, is not part of a bounce breakfast. I don't care who you are. This is not good for you. It might taste good. I'll give you that. Alright, well agree to disagree, but, you know, balanced breakfast. I just think if you put enough of the balance on the other side of the good stuff, then it makes up for the CTC. Is that what it does? It makes up, yeah. I think literally no one does that. It's anything. It's not, it's not like sin. You just have like four bowls of cinnamon toast crunch until you're full. Ooh, that, that's a lot of bowls. Okay. Well it depends on, on what the bowls are. Yeah. So you just have a lot of the thing, my beef with cereal companies is for a family as big as my family and your family. The normal boxes at the grocery store, those last like half a day in our house. Not even, yeah. It lasts. One older child. Yeah. And that's it. It's, he gets out the big mixing bowl and just dumps the whole box in and pours some milk in there. And he's like, I'm good. I'm out. We're gonna play the game. You know, we're not even doing that. Which is why Costco is such a help and off brand Costco and off brand. And off brand. Because then you talk get like 16 pounds of cereal. Yes. For like three bucks. Marshmallow. Midis. That's my go-to road trip snack is I get the marshmallow mattis's bag. You are unbelievable. Really? I, yeah. And I just put it, eat just marshmallows. I put it there. Well, it's got the Matty's in it too. The little pieces that are, I don't know what they're, it's not just marshmallow piece? No, it's not just marshmallows. Oh, okay. I guess it's a little better. Come on, gimme some credit. Why she can't believe it's called marshmallow? Mais? Man, love believes all things. And you just believe that I would just sit there mowing down on marshmallows the entire time I'm on the road. You said that Cinnamon Toast Crunch was part of the balanced breakfast, so everything you say after that, now suspicious when you balance it with enough good stuff on the other side. Of course it's, I get. Okay, so if you do one Cinnamon Toast Crunch morsel. Square. One square, okay. And then the rest of it is eggs and bacon or whatever else. And Okay. Maybe, yeah, I'd agree with that. Yeah, dude the new earth is gonna be amazing for you 'cause you're gonna just be like, gimme all the stuff. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I am so looking forward to it. I'm trying to enjoy some of that now. I it and appreciate it. I enjoy it that, in fact, I was telling my kids the other day 'cause they were like, oh, we want to eat more of this and that. We actually, okay, so here's what happened. Long story short, we had pasta. And it's the mo's, actually. The MO'S house. Okay. Yep. And it was awesome. It was delicious. My daughter was like, I wish we could have this every day. Why don't we have pasta every day? And I said, because it's a special meal. And it's much more tasty as a special meal than if it were a meal that you have every day. I thought that's kind of the idea and that's why you do Christmas music, you know, for the last month of the year, whatever it is that you do. It makes it more special if you relegate it to just a few times of the year or just a small time of the year. Okay, but if you had to choose only one meal to eat every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? Barring, no exception, so money, no object. Well. Yeah, sure. Money, new object. Okay, well, what was the intention of your question? Because then I can answer it, like, I'll answer it for me first. That'll give the idea. Alright. For me, it'd be spaghetti. I could eat spaghetti, probably just basic spaghetti every day for the rest of my life I don't think you could, but Okay. I don't believe you. Well, that's what my daughter said. Yeah. My 5-year-old daughter says she could do the same. Well, we think the same. So I don't, I said, I don't think you would feel that way, sweetheart, because if you had it every day, it would no longer be special. It would no longer taste the same. But if you had to, I'm not saying like this is, I'm by choice gonna eat spaghetti every day for the rest of my life. But like if you, if somebody was like, okay, the fascists really are taking over and you can only have one meal for every day for the rest of your life, choose what it is right now. Alright. Steak and veggies. Steak and veggies. Yep. Okay. That's it. Okay. Everything I need nutrients. So practical and delicious. Yeah, you throw butter on top of these things. Butter and salt, man, you got a great meal there. I'm not surprised at all because you will open a can of, of Monster and you'll leave it on your desk for like three days, slowly finishing it. Not long. I will drink it no matter what it tastes like, and it has no more carbonation does. It doesn't matter. It's lost. All of its joy. I drink black coffee for the same reason. I know how bad over the course of days too. A cup of coffee back and put it in the fridge. I will, and I'll drink it most of the time. Sometimes I, I forget anyways. Well. How did Mery Christmas, how did you get on this? Merry Christmas. We're in the book Revelation. Happy Lord Day. This is exciting. We're ending the day. I mean, four jam packed days in Revelation. Yeah, we're, and so you're gonna get a really high level overview. And you just said the other day, you read the whole thing in one sitting. I did. Maybe you should do that. Just throwing it out there. You have a couple days off. Usually. A lot of us do anyway. Yeah. Maybe read the whole thing and get the whole gist of it. 'cause then it reads more easily rather than trying to read it in parts. 'cause it's really hard to say, okay, what happened and what bowl is this and what trumpet is this? So maybe you should do that. And yeah, you don't have to stop down at each one. One of the things that I did, because there are a lot of numbers in the book of Revelation, I would write down, for example, when it came to the seals, I wrote down what it said, the first seal. I just wrote a one in my margin of my Bible, a second seal. I wrote a two. That just kind of helps me as I come back and glance down and I can see these things and you can do that with the seals, with the trumpets, with the bowls, and that gives you an understanding of a little bit of what's going on in each section there. But yeah, reading at high level, I man. I would imagine 'cause I could say, I could raise my hand and say, I've been guilty of this. You probably spent more time doom scrolling than it would take you to sit and read the book of Relu revelation in one sitting. For sure. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah, it's hard To be fair, it is harder to read the book of Revelation than it doom, doom scroll. Yeah. So I appreciate the reminder and the encouragement. I really, any engagement you can put with your Bible is always good. Always. Whether you draw pictures or you know, you circle things. I mean, it doesn't almost matter. What matters is that you're engaging with it and you're gonna get more out of it that way. Yeah. Well, in chapter one of the Book of Revelation, we learn whose revelation this is. This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, and it's given through an angel to. John John, the Apostle John who wrote First, second, and third, John John, who wrote the Gospel of John. So he is writing again here. This is towards the end of his life. This is when he is on the Is of Patmos. And so John was exiled to the Is of Patmos, ends up dying in exile there and we find out that he was on the Isle of Patmos there in chapter one in verse nine, he says, I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and I heard. Behind me, a loud voice like a trumpet. And so John is gonna interact with angelic beings. He's also gonna inter interact with the son of God. He's gonna act, interact with Jesus during this revelation. But chapter one is setting up whose revelation it is and who the one is, who's receiving the revelation. Okay, so that's an important question. When someone calls it the revelation of Jesus Christ, is it the revelation from Jesus? Or is it the revelation about Jesus? You're suggesting it's. The former, not the latter, I think. Well, so chapter one, verse one says, the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to Jesus. Jesus servants Jesus. To show us. So Jesus is revealing something, right? It's not, and maybe part of it is that he's revealing himself, right? 'cause at the end of the day, he's the king. He rules, he reigns in all those things. Right? So it kind of works in both ways. Yes. It's a revelation of Jesus that is, it's the one that's coming from him, but it's also about him. Yes. At the same time. Yep. Okay. He is revealed in chapter one, is the one who is the Lord of over the church and the one with the authority to assess and judge the churches. And so you'll get this imagery here and sometimes not always, but sometimes Revelation gives us the interpretation as well as the image he Jesus that is, says this in chapter one, verse 20. He says, as for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are. Angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. When you read Angels there, it's probably best to understand this 'cause we're about to get into chapter two, chapter three, which are the letters to these seven churches and they all start out to the angel of the church in, it's probably best to understand that as a messenger rather than an angelic being the word. For Angel Anglos can mean messenger or sent one, and it seems that these may have actually been the leaders, the pastors, the shepherds over these churches who are receiving the letters that are being dictated from Jesus to John to be sent out to these different churches. But Jesus is establishing his authority to be the judge in the assessor of these churches There in chapter one. That's a really interesting point. Why do you think I think most Bible translations use the word angel. I mean, it does mean the same thing. It can be Anglos as an angel, it can be Anglos as in messenger. Why do you think they go this direction? You know, I, I don't know. I just, it seems overly mystical. To take the approach to say that these are angelic beings to then figure out, okay, so how does the content get from the angelic being then to those on the ground in these churches? 'cause and that's a point of interpretation. We believe these to be historical churches, that these are not churches ages, that these are not representative of. Eons of church history, that these are specific historical churches that were in existence in the region of Asia Minor during this time when John was receiving the revelation. We learned things from each of these churches, but I believe they're specific historical churches, and that lends me to believe that these are the messengers the pastors, the overseers at these churches receiving the letter from John. Is there anything wrong with. Saying, well, I think it's an angel instead of an actual person. Is there any heresy that we're skirting around any issue with believing that? No, I don't think there's any heresy to that at all. Although you do create a, I guess a slightly larger problem for yourself, like then who's the angel? Right? Do they know who he was? Was he hanging out with them and coming to church with them? And then does our church have an angel? I think they do. Um, that's beside the point. But if, because they're, they, they're joined in festival gathering with us. I think they're part of the congregation. Okay. Didn't he preach about this recently? Yeah, I mean, relatively recently anyway long story short I think it's more challenging to say if this is an actual angel than. What are they doing? Like how are they engaging with the congregation to the degree that they have control over what the congregation does? Right? And maybe there's more going on than what meets the eye, but I guess it is more challenging to believe it that way versus believing that the Anglos, which is the word that is also, it also means messenger seems to be more fitting and a little easier to understand and letter of the context. Yeah, well, starting in chapter two and stretching all the way through chapter three, we get the letters to these seven churches that Jesus alludes to there at the end of chapter one. And so we walk through them all, and again, they're specific churches and we learn things from each of the seven churches. What's notable is that. There's a pattern that is general for most of them, though, not all of them. And that is there's usually a commendation, which is, Hey, you're doing this well, followed by a condemnation. This is something you're not doing well. And then followed by a correction. That correction is often a call to repentance that is accompanied by the threat of. If they won't, we see the first one takes that approach. Ephesus is commended for their doctrine. They're commended for their faithfulness. They're commended for being a church that is solid in so many different ways, and yet they are condemned for the lack of love. They've lost their first love, their first love of Christ, probably also their first love of the gospel and of the mission of the church. And Jesus tells them, if you don't repent and recover the love that you had at first, then he's gonna remove the lampstand that, that he'd rather have a church that is devoted to him and the mission of the church than a church that is. Is only doctrinally sound, and if they don't repent, he's gonna remove them. So that, that's the general pattern. There are a couple churches like the next one in the list, Smyrna, and then also the church in Philadelphia in chapter three who don't have any condemnations. They receive the praise from Jesus. You're doing this, you're doing this well, you're in a tight spot. You're suffering. Keep going, keep pressing on, keep enduring and you will receive the crown in the end, the reward in the end. But for the majority of the other ones there, there's something good followed by the correction there as well. Okay. Functionally then, what? Role did these play? This is this whole book that we typically understand from a futurist perspective. We see this whole thing is in the future, this is the way things are gonna be, and yet you have this what seems to be a present maybe as to historical. These are churches that were liter, literally churches. And what role does this have? If you say they're historical and I believe the same thing. They're historical churches. What do we do with that? Why are there? Yeah. I think that goes back to chapter one verse 19, where Jesus tells John to write, therefore the things that you have seen, those that are, and those that are just take place after this. So it seems that John is addressing the things that he has seen and the things that are presently as he's receiving this. And then he's gonna transition and there's a notable transition because starting in chapter four. Following The church isn't on the scene anymore until we, we pick the church back up in the, at the marriage supper of the lamb. And so there's a notable noticeable shift to, it seems what's coming beginning in chapter four. In fact, Jesus even says in chapter four verse one, come up here and I will show you what must take place after this. Right? So John's addressing the things that are present right here in chapter two, chapter three. And then he's gonna shift to the things that are to come in Chapter four, are the churches in any way typological? Can you say that categorically, this is generally how churches tend to fit. They can be like Ephesus, they can be like Smyrna, they can be like Philadelphia. Is there any sense in which you can read them as being. Typological. Yeah, absolutely. And I think there's benefit to that. You know, even the church in which is the one that, that all the students love in, in student ministry at time, revelation has preached because he talks about vomiting people out of them, out of his mouth. And there it's the church that's not useful, the church that's not refreshingly cool to believers And it's not the healing balm of, of the warm springs. Yeah. Cool. But rather it's a lukewarm, I'm gonna spit you outta my mouth. And so that addresses the lukewarm church and says, Hey, you need to be passionate. There's also a church that is, is confronted for having a reputation of being alive, the church and Sardis, but really you're dead. And that's, that speaks to the church that has a history of vibrancy, a history of vitality, but really they're not growing anymore. They're not being faithful anymore. They're living on the reputation that's come before them. So I think we can absolutely see types and patterns in these letters that are good for the the church today as well. That's helpful and I really appreciate that you pulled out verse 19. I think that can be a good way to read the whole book, the things that you have seen, the things that are, and things that are about to take place, things that are going to take place. So if you wanna look at the book that way, I think that's one way you can look at it. Those things that are present tense in the historical setting here versus are chapters two and three largely, and then things that are to take place after the chapters four in following is how you can, as a rule of thumb, broad brush strokes, look at the book itself. In chapter four, then we do make that transition where we begin to look forward to what's coming. And that's again what Jesus says to John, come up here, I'm gonna show you what must take place. And so John begins to see some pretty fantastic images and and revelations here as the chapters unfold at this point. And a lot of it, and when I read the book through this last time, what. Stuck out to me this time was just how much of a focus on worship there is in this book. There's a lot of amazing things. There's a lot of terrifying things. There's a lot of judgment that takes place in the book of Revelation, but a lot of the book of Revelation is about the worship of God. In fact, in. In chapter four, we're introduced to some key figures who show up time and time again. And these are those that are gathered around the throne and around the throne that is the throne of God. Are 24 Other thrones and seated on their thrones are 24 elders. Now these elders are gonna show up over and over again in the book of Revelation, and more often than not, they're gonna show up. Off their throne, on their face in front of the main throne worshiping God. The angels are gonna worship God. The nations are gonna worship God. The saints are gonna worship God. And so the book of Revelation is, so much of it really is about the worship of the Lord. And in chapter four is really setting that up. There's a lot of parallels here, even with Ezekiel's vision of the angels that he saw. And so. An overwhelming scene. Holy, holy, holy. Even there in verse eight that calls to mind, back to Isaiah six the 24 elders fall down before him who seated on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever. Verse 10, casting their crowns before the throne saying, worthy, are you? And that sets up chapter five as well, which has a lot to do with one of the songs that we sing quite often, that the song, which is called, is He Worthy? Yeah, that's a great song. Yeah, you mentioned the band casting crowns. Thank you for that. I like those guys. They're good. Secondly, I wanna know, and everybody else wants to know too, everybody's been asking, everybody's been asking, who are these 24 elders? Are these like pastors from different churches that are, are they elected on the elder board? Is there a congregational vote to get these thrones? People would like to know. Are they available? Uh, they are, what are their term limits? Yeah. And their bylaws. Is it a two year term limit? There's some ambiguity here because of course, as you read the text, the text doesn't say in these two, the 20 are who the 24 elders are. Yeah. Um, that's why we asked you. We want you to tell us there is a position out there that argues, well, this is specifically those that are in heaven, are the church at this point? And so these are the elders. This is representative of the church. That would be a position, for example, held by John MacArthur. He believed these are the represe representatives of the church because Israel is still on the ground during the tribulation time at this point. Okay, so Y 24 then, if that's, and I understand that is John MacArthur's position. I'm not asking you to defend it, but is there a rationale behind 24? It's odd. It, it is an odd number. It's actually even, but you get the point. It's an odd number to choose. Given that there's no, as far as I know, maybe you can tell us. There's no significance to the number 24 in scripture. No. Other than, you know, there were 12 apostles and so perhaps it's even a doubling of that the completion. Uh, we're getting into realms. This is what makes Revelation so dangerous, is when you begin to get into the realm of speculation and say, well, this number means this and it means completion here and it means this. Rather than going, okay, well it's 24. So one of the other views, and this is a view that I know you and I have talked about before too, is that this could be a combination of the representatives of the church, the 12 apostles and representatives from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, because even though Israel is still on the earth right now and hasn't been fully redeemed, there are Old Testament saints that have been redeemed. That are there. And so these could be representatives from each of the 12 tribes paired with the 12 apostles that would give us the number 24 here. Yeah, I like that one. That one makes a lot more sense to me. And I see the significance in both the old and the New Testament, that one fits. But I've also heard too, that this could be a group of angels or elect angels who are called elders. And the evidence that we'd have for that is that you have in scripture the revealing that angels play different roles. You got the Archangel Gabriel, and so he's a high ranking angel. The Archangel Michael. You have different levels and we don't know what all those levels are. We just have a little bit of of hints toward that. So maybe that's what these guys do. And another reason for that is that it seems like, to your point, all they do is worship God. So maybe that's who these people are. Maybe not. Yeah I guess I hadn't heard the angel interpretation. It's possible I might. Protest that I think everywhere else the angels are referenced in the book of Revelation. They're called angels. They're identified as an angelic beings. Yeah. But yeah, I'm not arguing for it. I like option two. Yeah. Chapter five then continues on this theme of chapter four verse 11. Worthy, are you, and the way it does this is there is a scroll that is presented and the scroll is sealed with seven seals. And the seals, we have to understand them. They're not like when you buy a new Apple product and you have to rip the tag off the seal and open it up. The seal was representative of authority and only the person who was. Was worthy. Only the person who had the right level of authority was able to break the seal and open the scroll. And so John begins to weep because he. He thinks no one's gonna be able to open this. And there's something about the scroll that conveys to John in these visions that, that he's gonna be at a loss if he doesn't know what is contained in this. And one of the angels, one of the, actually one of the elders rather says to John, weep, no more behold the line of the trap of Judah, the root of David has conquered so that he can open the scroll on its seven seals. So there we see the introduction of Christ. He sees Christ as the lamb standing as though it. It had been slain and because of his death, he's the one that's worthy to begin to break the seals. And the reason is, is because what these seals are gonna begin to pour forth is the judgment of God upon the nations. And so the son who was submissive to the father in his earthly ministry and even to the point of death, even death on a cross like we've seen recently, is now gonna be the one as a result of that, who's gonna have the authority to judge? And that's why he's the one that's worthy to take the scroll and begin to break the seals. Okay, so talking about these squirrels and these seals here, what is the. Nature of the squirrel. Why is there a squirrel with seven seals? The squirrel. Yep. That one too. Just making sure you're listening. So what's in it everybody? Everybody that we know that there are judgments, right? Tied to the seals, right? What's inside the squirrel? Why you keep saying squirrel? Just to make sure you're listening. I've considered the content of the scroll to be in keeping with the breaking of the seals that the scroll is unpacking. What is taking place with the judgment? It seems the seals as the name indicates, seal. The scroll closed. Seal the scroll. Yeah. So it seems like every time the seal is broken, the scroll is still closed and not unfurled. My suspicion is that the, so John MacArthur, I, we keep going back to because he's such a noble and noteworthy scholar. Yeah. He suggests that this is the title deed of the universe. That this is like, this is the whole shebang, the whole kit and caboodle. Whoever opens this scroll has the authority to rule and govern the entire universe. That makes sense given the context of the book. But I was wondering if you had any opinions about that. I don't, I mean, we see another scroll in chapter 10, but I don't think it's the same one. Give scrolls the little scroll that is given to him to eat. Yeah. And I don't think it's the same one. Yeah. Obviously there's a diff whatever's happening there, I think. 'cause it's sweet to his taste bitter in his stomach. There's some kind, and I think it's judgment is what he's eating there. Yeah. Here. I, I don't know. And it never says exactly. This is what the scroll contains. It's true. That's true. Well, Jesus is the one that's worthy. That's right. That much we know. He's gonna take the scroll and he's gonna break the seals. Alright, I need to ask you, 'cause there's another weird thing here in verse six, chapter five, verse six, he says he saw a lamb standing as though it had been slain. That part we're familiar with. And he has seven horns and seven eyes. Explain that. Is it. So this is the challenging aspect of Revelation. We're reading apocalyptic literature. Why does Jesus have seven horns and seven eyes? Well, it even goes on there, he says, A lamb standing. Seven horns, seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God out. Yeah. How many spirits are there? How many holy spirits are? So I believe it's Isaiah. I don't know the exact passage, but Isaiah describes the Holy Spirit as a sevenfold spirit. And he talks about the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of the sermon there. There's seven categories that describe the spirit. All right. So it seems that this is, in keeping with that, an allusion back to that in Isaiah that it's Jesus and the Holy Spirit that are in view here in the vision of the lamb. But it says seven. It does seven being the number of completion, the number of perfection, the number of God. Okay, so there is something to numerology. Yes. But there's also things that are not connected to that, that you have to be super careful with. Yes. So there is something about numbers in the Bible we don't want to poo all the numbers 'cause clearly God ascribes value to them and meaning, right? Seven is the number of completion. We get that back from the Genesis account one through six. God works seven to he rests. Rest Thises. He rest, he rest Thises. And that shows the completion, the perfect the telio of a thing. And so here Jesus is depicted as having all power, all knowledge, all wisdom in the spirit, having the fullness of the spirit. And that makes sense because he is deity. So the number of man is six, right? The number of God is 7, 6, 7. Seven. 6 7, 6 7. Oh, go ahead. Just say it. Go ahead. I mean, tomorrow we're gonna be in chapter six, and then we're gonna get to chapter seven. Oh, everybody with kids listening to this podcast right now hates us. They're like, man, pastor PJ is so cool. Well, the kids are, they ought to hear your song. We had to put that on the podcast. That is, that was really well done. That was a great song. I, it's not my song, it's a song that was produced. I did a song about. It was so good. Yeah. You know what? I should share that with people. You should. I, I, it's not quite perfect yet. It's good. It was clever. It's a much, it's much better. Yeah. But it's gotta get better. It's better. I don't know that I wanted to hear the first editions then. Well, hey, let's wrap up this episode with prayer and then we'll get on with the rest of our day. Lord, we are thankful for this book. It is difficult to understand. We readily confess that I pray that as we study it over the next three days now after today, that you'd give us great wisdom and insight into its contents and his pages, and how to take those contents and apply them to our lives. We're thankful, ultimately, that Christ is worthy. We're thankful that we know Him, not as our judge, but as our Savior, and we look forward to the day that he comes back for the bride. And in the meantime, help us to be a faithful bride to what you want us to do. In Jesus' name, amen. Keep in your Bibles tuning again tomorrow for another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. See you tomorrow. Bye.
