Blessed. Be the God and father of our Lord. Jesus Christ, the father of mercies, and God of All Comfort, who comforts Us in all our afflictions. So that we may be able to comfort. Those who are in any Affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. I even I am he who comforts you? Who are you? That you are afraid of man who dies and of the son of man who is made like grass. Just as the father has compassion on his children. So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him dearly father, we recognized as the amazing relationship that you have established wherein we have been brought into relationship with you based on the work and the provision of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have received it, believe that Lord, trusted in his atoning, sacrifice there for. You has made us one in unity, with yourself. You've made us spiritually alive. Baptized us into the person of Christ into the work of Christ into the body of Christ. Lord. And then you have come up and you have taken residence in God.

So we've been working our way through Ezekiel 36 37, and about to get into 38 with and spending a good deal of time on the last portion of Ezekiel 37. And Pulaski

He says it went off air.

So coming to our conclusion, the conclusion that we formed about the prophecies that are in Ezekiel 37 dealing with the bones that have been laid out. All of these are bones after bones and then the two sticks that have been brought together and bound together and both of these ended up being prophecies, the bones were a prophecy. The God said he was going to take every dead. Piece of Israel scattered across the entire planet and pull it together in this vision of the valley of dry bones. And this is a picture that he would take every Israelite on the face of the Earth during the millennial Kingdom. Give me during the tribulation all. And bring them together as a nation, we bought a single individual that wasn't brought back and they would be brought back as a nation to life. They would have the spirit is speaking about going on and then to the end of the Messianic Kingdom. So the idea is God is going to bring all the Jews together and there will be a Remnant. Billy Ray's to New Life will be born again. They will have in a spiritual awakening, both personally, and nationally May will be taken into the great millennial. Kingdom, the great Messianic Kingdom. Who have another prophecy where we have two sticks that are taken. And Lord says, take this dick and on it is written the name. Jose Stephen, and take this stick and on it. Is written, the name Judah. And he says, join these sticks together. And this is representing two separated kingdoms of Israel. B are brought together and they are bound together as one and he says, never again, will they be separate from this point on and forever? They will be one Kingdom United, but there is a caveat, they will not be United under themselves. They will not be able United under the knesset, which is what we have ruling Israel. Right now, the knesset of those democratically-elected individuals, they may be Jewish, they may be Islamic, they may be Muslims, but they are elected from whatever neighborhood. They come from just like we have certain number of representatives in the House of Representatives. You know, I needed in the US in terms of our governmental Representatives system and then we have two senators for each state, won the knesset. They have individual for each group of people to be able to be in the ruling. To be the Prime Minister. You are elected by this group of elected individuals. That's why we always have these ins and outs going on determining, who is the prime minister. And that's why you keep seeing every year, you're going to have some time, 6 months, there is an overturning of the Prime Minister because the groups that are backing him saying, We ain't going to back your anymore so let's go back out and see who gets elected this time. And so whoever has the majority of support will be. The prime minister is how it works out, or they developed these coalitions and they have concessions and Promises will will provide for you will give you our votes if you give us this. So we have all that type of stuff going on. That's the knesset that is what's currently happening in Israel. That does not fulfill the prophecy that's being talked about because it is not one Kingdom that Kingdom Under the rule of my servant David. And so we spent a great deal a number of months going through an understanding. What and who my servant David is no, as it turns out there has been a great deal of

Inside the circles that we work with the prophecy, people who we would say, how their act straight, some of those people came out a doubtless. Many of them are the people from Shafer. We have people like Arnold fruchtenbaum and Robert Dean and so forth. We have other individuals are out there. We have Andy Woods is going around his present, in a shaper, who's kind of the kind of the big author and Conference speaker at this time. So he's bringing in a lot of attention. But we are even though we have some agreed-upon, distinctive, we have some little points that the people are kind of fighting with each other. About not really fighting, it's a friendly. I just think you're wrong and this is what I think the text means you're at. I think you're wrong. And so we've been working through some of that because not everyone's been in agreement about my servant David, some p, Think that means Christ. My servant David is Christ. Other people think my servant David is David himself who will be resurrected and who will be ruling in the Messianic era. So we've gone through and we looked at the promises that are associated with that phrase, my servant David. It is the New Covenant promise or the promise of Peace, the Covenant of Peace, both rooms are used for the same thing that has to do with a new covenant, in the new promise that is placed out there by the Lord Jesus Christ. So it is between the Messiah. And Israel and that means Messianic Kingdom, he has a new covenant and within that Covenant he is going to have someone working and ruin it raining. So he will be the Sovereign. The king over all of Israel is over all of the world. But over Israel, will be another king ruling, which will be David himself, resurrected. And many of the other kings from the Old Testament, will be resurrected and people of royalty. And they will be ruling and raining over Israel, as well during the millennial Kingdom. And the side note, then we being just the church age Believers that we are not part of his real. We will actually really under Christ over Nations and so we will be working with and rolling over Kings and rulers in noteworthy individuals who are Gentiles over all the rest of the nation's. Now, at the beginning of the money, I'll clean them. Every one is a Believer, so, it is only those people who believe we're Gentiles, and all the Jews who believe, who will go into that Millennial Kingdom? I'm so to begin with everyone as Believers but over time as people are born, each individual has to come to an individual point of responsibility of choosing to trust a man acknowledged Christ, as their lord and savior, ignore his atoning sacrifice on their behalf and if they do not, they are not saved, they will be unbelievers and they will end up at the end of the tribute, end of the Messianic Kingdom and America, great Final War, because they will be ending up opposed to God and siding with the Satan. So,

Who referred you in a bunch of things there?

And then our passage in Ezekiel 37 15 through 28. We can summarize it by saying the Messianic government will restore the ideal conditions of the spiritual and ritual Purity for the nation of Israel, with the temple being in place. And the divine presence, the Shekinah Glory itself being in place over the temple and the nation will be in a Perpetual. Covenant of peace that the Covenant is sealed with the relationship of the Messiah and his people, his blood sacrifice sealed that Covenant. There is no breaking of that Covenant. It was not entered into by Israel shedding their blood and Christ shedding his blood, it was entered into by Christ Alone, shedding his blood alone, there for the condition of keeping that Covenant is based on what Christ did alone, not based on what the people will do much like your bro. I'm at covenant originally is based on the work that God the Father did, it's a promise to God. He says, I will make a promise to you. There will be many nations will come out through you. Many missions will even war against each other, but there will be a nation that will be my promise people and he picked that up with Isaac. So Isaac is the child of the chosen. Mine. And Jacob is the child of the chosen line, and Jacob becomes Israel out of which are twelve chosen lines. And then The 12 tribes of Israel. So we have that promise but it was guaranteed as you recall, by God, Alone. Abraham was not a guarantor, he was not a signatory. Who got Covenant, only God was a signatory on that and that was marked out at the point at which they sacrifice the animals laid them out, and then they would walk between them. Say my life is forfeit like these animals. If I do not do I am a guarantor of the promise and so people would do that side by side. And so Adam has me Abraham and laid out the sacrifices. And then God said to Abraham sleep, and then he walked loan through the sacrifice animals, saying I alone and be conditional, I guarantor of this Covenant Abraham. You have no say at this point you have agreed with me and I am a Guarantor. So we have that coming forward, we see that that's the relationship between Israel and the Messiah. He creates a New Covenant in which he alone is the guarantor

So we already went over the new vision and verses 15 through 23 about the sticks coming together. The Joseph and Ephraim are more Judah Manasseh kingdoms all being brought together cuz there's a couple of names were involved there and then what we notice is that there was actually a public performance that he's EQ went through. So he was over in Babylon at the time of this vision and so he performed in public, taking this dick, taking the other stick on which were written the names. Putting them together, tying them together and the people say, what is this, what is this, that you're doing, and then he explained the vision to them and then he also wrote it down in the in the prophetic literature Flores.

Ezekiel explain the God was going to join Joseph to Judah and perhaps since David is the new King was one of the tribe of Judah. That's why do you do was called out? Or maybe because it was the southern Kingdom Judah and Joseph or Manasseh, the half tribe of Joseph was the recognized upper Kingdom. Either way, it all goes together. So God is going to restore and reunite the nation under one king. And that is my servant David.

Normal things that we're going to see her that we did see if we went through, this is that all the promises that were made along the way. We're not fulfilled. After Israel was restored from Babylon and from Assyria after, they were released to come back to populate Israel. These promised promises from Ezekiel did not happen. Yes, they were released to come back, but these ones did not happen because these were not the return to the land promises. These words are the return to the land. Under the new government overseen, by the Messiah, promised has a different set of promises so you hear people talking about this and often times they get them mixed up. So we want to be careful that we're not mixing up promises for the return of of the Castoffs of Israel back to the land versus those people who are playing the inheriting, the land as per all the promises that God has made along the way. So do God has not finished with Israel and he plans a permanent reunification and restoration of his people in his land and the realization of the promise was tides of the development of the Messianic hope. So without the Messiah, there was no fulfillment of these promises. No. The people at the time of Christ's first, Advent got that they understood but what they didn't understand.

What is that? These promises were not fulfilled during the first Advent, right? Messiah wrong Advance. He would be fulfilling these during the second Advent when he returned to restore Israel. But this is not that returning to restore Israel timeline.

Let's see here.

Future.

So is it turns out there are 13? Promises in conclusion that have been made to Israel.

Give them to you here. I know they ended up being small because I fit all 13 and 21, slide, 13 promises made to Israel and Ezekiel 37 verses, 15 through 28. The newest rate, God's determination to revive, Revitalize restore and re-establish the nation of Israel. We say that again, he's going to revive Israel. He's going to revitalize is real. Give it a lie where it is spiritually and physically dead. He's going to make the nation physically alive and spiritually. Life is going to restore Israel as a nation and the land, he's going to re-establish the nation of Israel as that entity.

So what's really screw first? God, will personally find Israel? You gather the people from amongst the Nations. So we see that in verse 21 21 a second. God will bring them into their land will be restored to them. Verse 21 be or the second part did, God will make one mission of the two that had been in the land. So we already talked about that. The two coming together becoming 1/4. God will set one king over the nation so it'll be one king or one ruler over the nation, we see that both 22. Verse 22 and verse 24, fifth God will ensure the unity of the restored Kingdom that will never. Again be divided. God has put his stamp on it. He saying, you will never ever be divided. What we have going on in Israel, right? Yeah, we're keeps getting clip the way portion, pulled up dividing people saying, we need to have a divided government. We need to have a divided, Israel. We need to divide the city of Jerusalem. We need to divide this land in that land, the Golan Heights should be shouldn't be part of Israel, to go back and forth. And every president of the United States and every change the United Nations people come along and they try to bully and push, there will be an end of that. At the time, that God is involved. Six, God will ensure that the people will never. Again survivals the service. If I Dollar Tree will come to its final end as they follow the Messiah into the Messianic Kingdom. They will be born again. They will be spiritually. Awakened and Alive. We will have a real and true relationship with God. And they will each and every one of them, get it. And I don't have a tree, will never be a thing that they will be involved in. 7th God will save them. Each individual cleanse, then in establishing an intimate personal relationship with each and every Israelite each and every individual every Jewish individual alive will have a personal intimate relationship with God and God will enable them to walk in obedience to the war. He will give them the ability to fulfil the law that they do, but it means they will have the enablement to keep I'm not transgressed in terms of the law itself. 9, God will establish them in their land for River. That is the land will be given to you, then it is their land. Will stay their land. As we move into the Eternal Kingdom, it will remain their land, not something again that everyone Who is in Arkansas? Has caught up to speed yet. Some people are still back in the Baptist pews where they think of, okay, well, when this life is over, we all get to go to heaven. And then it's eternity in heaven. And that's all there is. Well, no, no, no. We got seven years with Christ seven. 7, not very many Southern short years with Christ, and then we return with him to conquer the Nations and then Rule and Reign for a thousand years with Christ, and then there's an eternal Kingdom. The comes where the entire Earth is recreated. So we have all these changes that are happening along the way, but they will be in the land forever from that point in the Messianic Kingdom forward through eternity future. God will establish his New Covenant of Peace within that. Is he inaugurated all this. It is started and it is maintained by a covenant. A covenant of Peace. Oh God will be at peace constantly with Israel. His relationship with them is based on peace. Loving God will multiply them in the land and they will enjoy prosperity to go along with their pee. So it won't just be a piece, but you always going to be on guard because you got to be going to watch it at 4 Warfare with the Nations. Will they're going to have coffee ready. They're going to have fruitfulness, they're going to have abundance and they will be at peace with God. And as much as possible at peace with the nation's 12th, God will establish his Sanctuary among them in person. Leadwell there forever. God will Well, in the midst of the people of Jerusalem and Israel forever for a thousand years, we have the Great War of course, and we have the great adjustment to God's adjudication of sin, and everything, simple and stained by student, including death itself, will be tossed into the Lake of Fire. All those who have rejected the righteousness of Christ will be tossed into the Lake of Fire. What we have available then is

suddenly went off track and forgot where I was going so long with the tracking number.

Talking about 12:00. Yeah. So the so the idea is that we finally have our Lord. You in the New Jerusalem itself or he will be our light and you'll be the Light of the Nations and he'll be the light of Israel and that will be forever. But that will be part of his dwelling in the midst of his people forever 13th. God will make Israel. A testimony to the nations of his Saving Grace. The purpose of Israel is not just to be the sole beneficiary of all blessings. It's the show all of the rest of the nation's, all the rest of the people that God is involved in an act of blessings and that's Saving Grace, royal purpose of purposefully, given to and run through. Israel is also purposely given that Might be on display for everyone to be able to see and catch it. You know, that's not nice to go out on the car lot and look around at all the cars and walked by them, you know, but there really is something nice when they take one or two of the nicer models and they have them on display in the display room and you walk into the showroom display room and you get to see the nicest a nice right there with all the bells and whistles and features and you don't have to walk up and down, wondering if someone's going to come talk to you or anything like that. So that's what God is doing in his. He's put Israel on display in the showroom. Setting up all the features of his grace and his magnificent care for human, and it's right there on display for everyone to see. They don't have to go walk in about trying to figure out now, where was God gracious? And how was he gracious? And how did he do this? And that will be right there. For all to see now. God is not finished with Israel. So that wraps up basically our conditions of what has happened in what we have learned from Ezekiel 37, No. the realization of the promises in Ezekiel 37 are tied to the development of the Messianic hope that is, these promises are fulfilled because of the hope of the Messiah and for no other reason at all, there's only one reason these promises are fulfilled because of the hope of the Messiah vq37, Verses 25 through 28. In the end, I have a guest appearing, passage, that will read that will tie right into this. So starting in Ezekiel 37. Our path is just the last four verses that we've been working through. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jake and my servant were your father's wealth and they shall dwell there. They their children and their children's children forever and my servant David shall be their prince forever. So, there's that reference to my servant. David part of why we went into a long study to make sure we can understand them, get who he was because of the conflict in views that are out there first 26, those conflicting views were amongst our friends. So we wanted to get even more due, diligence to make sure that we were laying everything out there. Well-represented verse 26. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them. And it shall be an Everlasting, Covenant. With them, I will establish them and multiply them. And I will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore be here. All these 13 points we've been reviewing some of them being stated right here. He is making a covenant it is a covenant of Peace. What is an Everlasting Covenant? He's going to establish and multiply his going to set his sanctuary in their midst forevermore verse 27, Mi Tabernacle. Also she'll be with them. So he's saying I'm going to set up my Tabernacle that is the place where I dwell with them. Indeed I will be their God shall be my people. It will be inextricably plain and clear to all of creation. That Israel belongs to God and God belongs to Israel verse 28, through the nation's also will know that I the Lord sanctify Israel. I'm the one who's made them, holy on. What is separated them? I'm the one is equipped them to follow the law. And one is made them, my people, they are my people, and I am their God and he says, they will know this when My Sanctuary is in their midst 4evermore. That's why it's important that we don't say. Oh, for a thousand years, you will be there in the sanctuary for a thousand years. And we're trying to put our theology in our systems and our timelines together. Cuz if we say that then we're violating the promise, he will be there forever more. So that's important mail. Our guests passage comes to us from Romans chapter 11, Romans chapter 11, Paul is dealing with the issue of Israel and what's going on with Israel cuz he's gone through this whole demonstration that the people. This rail have not been saved because they were given the law off. Nor can they be saved by giving by having given the wall, or possessing the law for trying to do the law. In fact, they must be saved by faith in The Giver of the law in his promise that he would provide and a Tony sacrifice for their sins. The law. If anything he says is a Schoolmaster to teach you that, you need the atoning sacrifice of the work of Jesus Christ. That's why we have all the way through, so we get up to chapter 9 and then we start dealing with Will, what's up with Israel? By the time we get to Bert 2, chapter 11 from chapter 9 2 chapter 11, we're getting into the, okay? Here's what's up with Israel and that's what we're eating here. First 25, right? Do not desire Brethren, Paul speaking, that you should be ignorant of this mystery. What is he talking about the mystery on, which is the doctrine of what is going on with the church and the church age and Israel to follow after it? Because it is a mystery, it is a sport that has not been taught clearly by the prophets has been room left for it. Christ has alluded to it but not until we get into the new test. Age. Do we start to understand it and Paul said because it's hidden from you, it's been a mystery and so here it is. He says I would not have you be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinions, but blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. You saying those Israelites do not believe in the Messiah, they have not believe that Jesus Christ is their Messiah, but he is, he says, so this blind miss that, they have has allowed you. The Gentiles to come in, you were able to come to Faith because Israel has stopped the clock. In terms of its relationship with God is kind of in a dog paddle. In terms of Prophecy is sitting there waiting until the clock is started again verse 26, and so, all of Israel will be saved.

Let me repeat that. I'm so all of Israel. Is saved. He's talking about that fulfillment. At the end of the tribulation as God has judged Israel. He has poured out bowls of Wrath. He is poured out all kinds of things to get them to get it together and recognize that he who came before Jesus Christ was the Messiah and yet, and their Hardness of Heart. They resist. I resist. I resist. I resist until the very final in when they see the judgement coming, they are days away from being absolutely wiped off the face of the Earth. And then within the last final, three days, they call out and they say, Yeshua. Jesus is our bisaya. We get it. Now we were blind but we see we understand. We are corrected, we were wrong. We Proclaim this reality. Jesus is the Messiah that we rejected we neglected and we come to him. When we understand that our Salvation is now based on his atoning, sacrifice. And as a nation for our preservation, we call out upon him save us. Now in the Lord Jesus Christ comes back in the lightning flash with us. All the things together. Had you wages war against the enemy? Of Israel. Put this is a very, very important promise. All Israel will be saved as it is written. The deliverer will come out of Zion and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. So the Lord is going to land, right? Where is Zion? Is that is right. Work is really is right there at that Temple Mount location right? In that region. First 27 for this is my Covenant with them when I take away their sins verse 28, Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. He says, they become enemies of the Gospel. They rejected the Messiah, but that allows you to be saved that allows the church age to exist until that time when they all returned. But concerning the election, they are a beloved for the sake of the father's. Now, this idea of the election, everything you learned from Catholicism, Lutheran is in your Presbyterian upbringing. Episcopalian, whatever you came out of where there is this concept of the election, as a predetermining toss it out, that's not what it means. This guy has to do with a choice, gifting the God gives to those people who are already special. You see, once we become born again, we are set aside for his elect purposes, chosen purpose as he does. Not choose us ahead of time to be saved. We actually make a choice. And then, as we have made a choice, we stepped in so that what she has provided for the elect. That is those who are say so too, with Israel, they are a special people. Yes, because they are the descendants of Abraham of Isaac of Jacob of all of the tribes of Israel. Therefore, as The Descendants, they are part of the chosen or the elect they are set aside for God and yet they each have to individually. Make that choice along the way whether or not they're trusting in the atoning work. Of the Lord Jesus Christ or not. Clear Choice. They have to make verse 29 for the gifts in the calling of God are irrevocable. Here is a dang important louvers the gifts from the callings of God are irrevocable. So if you're talking to someone and they're telling you that the church has replaced Israel, then you ask them on what basis. Just you say that and I'll give you their theological reasons and they will talk to you when they will say that they will take you to verse. Does it say that Israel has neglected and we'll take some of these looked at and they will miss construe what they're saying. But then when they get to this verse they are left helpless

Because God's gifts and his promises. The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. No, use this for pastors, when dealing with people who are pastors and have to meet the requirements of an elder, and they go through some type of life event in Bend. Those legalists, in the congregation said, you're no longer qualified to be a Pastor get him out of here. Run grab the what is they doing? The self. Grab that real. Get the target, the feathers. You know and Feathering as a you're running out of town. Pretends to be the reaction and yet what we have found is that the giftings and the callings of God are irrevocable, they can't be revoked play a congregation full of legalistic individuals, if there is a moral compromises along the way, then maybe there is need for a pastor to step down, step aside, maybe not but that's not something. We need to get in. To hear. My point is at the calling of being a pastor is a Colina to get them from God. Every one of the gifts that God has given to the body of Christ, individuals are gifts and callings that are irrevocable as it applies to Israel. So it applies to the church. Now this is about Israel. So I'm talking about the trip, we're just taking the principal and saying yes it applies and we can apply at this way and that way. But how it applies here? Is it saying that? Israel can never stop being Israel. Israel will be the full Fuller of the Messianic promises. There is no church stepping into the Messianic promises. So they try to do is say, oh well, that is happening. Now this is the Messianic Kingdom. I'm going well, good grief, what kind of God do you have? This is the Messianic Kingdom. Really? Why is laying down with the lamb and there's peace and and okay, try to change everything around. That's ridiculous and crazy. Keep this verse in mind. It's, it's very important verse 34. As you wore once disobedient to God yourselves, he's saying that have now obtain Mercy through their Disobedience. So he saying you only get a chance to be the church because Israel has been Because I rejected Christ. Therefore there is an opening in time where there gets to be a church and a church age, where you get to be part of the royal family of God, get to be the bride of Christ. Get to be the body of Christ. That is only possible because Israel has been cut off for a time. So because they've been cut off your able to be spliced in drafted in. Are you able to participate? So to verse 31, even so these also have now been disobedient that through the mercy shown you, they also May obtain Mercy

God showed you Mercy. God's going to show them Mercy as well. They had promises, you didn't God's merciful to you without the promises. How much more than can we understand God be merciful to those with the promises verse 32 for God is committed. Them all to Disobedience that he might have mercy on all, he's let them all be disobedient. Walking away from the promises given that you guys might inherit promises. First 3300, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out. We limited Viewpoint humans, just don't get it. The Paul is saying, this is an incredible wisdom to God, has brought to bear here first, 34 or 44, who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has become his counselor, can you counsel God, really, or who has first given to him verse, 35, and it shall be repaid to him. Wait, didn't he give to us first? And that's how we're able to give. That's what we talked about every Service. As we talked about giving our offerings to the lord. It's about a response to his gifting us therefore we respond to him. He is gifted us and in like fashion, we respond. He is our provider. Therefore, we worship him through one of the means to which he sustains us, 436 were all she's me for of him, and through him, and to him, are all things to whom be glory forever. Amen! So Paul is come to a great-aunt inspiring clue, conclusion here. All Israel will be saved and that you foolish individuals, think that you can put that down. You can say, Israel won't be saved. Both of those people who are anti-zionist for those people who are replacement theologian. This scripture is addressed. You are a fool for rejecting, the things of God for rejecting his provision in. Which number one, he grafted you into a Salvation that is not your own that is provided through Israel. Remember to, he will be restoring Israel even as he has promised because he promised So, we are establishing the church and then we will be unplugged to the Rapture and pulled out of here.

So, I guess next week, I will jump into chapter 38. God's the fence of restored Israel. God's defensive restored, Israel. And we're going to find as we have seven passages or oracle's little prophecies are there are seven individual ones about how God is going to defend. This is real. After it's restored. The mass, what is Ezekiel 38 is about to feel free to read it and read ahead of time. Look up. See if you can find each of these seven oracle's, I'll give you a hint, each one of them starts with. This is what the Sovereign Lord says. And then he says it was an oracle. That's a promise, it's a prophecy and they're seven individual ones each of an individual and yet, they're tied together as a body woman together to explain what Goddess to be doing. So, we will get to that, will step through those, and we'll keep on going through, is he cool 38 next week. So, the study of Gog and Magog, which you here in a lot of work to do out there about this dog and may God in his part of why we're in Ezekiel, has to find out what's up with these gogmagog people in, was it all mean? So, and I will be kicking into that a lot of background to give us a lot of her foundation's. We can actually think clearly and not the influence by James or little winds blowing this way or that way. We have a foundation of understanding what God's doing here. For as we step, from 37 and 238. We know exactly what is already on the table there for. We already know what it can't mean. And that what the passage will mean. So this way to close in prayer, Go to Father, we thank you for this time, thank you for the great privilege of being able to study your word and in that study of your word. As you Reveal Your Truth, we get. We understand that Jesus Christ. And you dear heavenly father are glorified through all of eternity. As, every aspect of Truth was brought to bear and awaken made aware and are thinking, Lord, as we process it and focus on it. You are glorified, we grow in our perspective, just a little bit more of Grace is understood. And we have so much more than we need to understand if your grace and pray that as we grow, and capacity to understand your word loss to understand Grace, that you would use us as vessels of foreign to illustrate your grace to those around us. Sometimes we go through difficult, things pain and difficulty is just so that others might know. I see that you are our sustainer even through the most difficult of situations that we don't think we can bear or deal with Lord, Hugh Grant, Asian. Can you show the person in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, right. In the midst of Our Lives? Sometimes people are astonished as I see it, we pray that would be the case. We would ask specifically Lord that you would guide us this coming week that you would enable us to be able to minister to those who know you to minister to. Those who don't know you, give us the grace ability to speak the gospel in a way that is persuasive board and reveals the person of Jesus Christ. Not about us, but about him. Also that we would also be better able to illustrate how amazing the grace of God is sustaining us daily. Not our efforts. Lord, that your effort in, providing us everything we needed. The Philly of the spirit, the teaching of your word, magnificence of your glory just being expressed because we are your children. We are royal family Lord, that look to you. So August, we bring to you, we thank you. And we pray and lift it up in the Blessed name of our Lord and savior Christ. Jesus.

Thank you.
