210410 - The King of Glory - S051

In case, in case you're not aware, and I think you're probably all aware. We, we go through a semi septennial cycle of Torah readings, every three and a half years. And if you're trying to keep up with this, and you don't have this copy, you can't keep up with us, it's available online. But if you want a copy, here's some copies and you can raise your hand and someone over here. I'll pass them out. Anyone want to copy? One copy.

I'll let you pass them out. Terry is very helpful always particularly in offering me correction.

Me too. Yeah. I welcome, correction and I have an apology to make I last week. I overstated something slightly. I've heard it towed off. In that, when, when the people went into the tomb, they saw the face cloth, fold it up, and that was reminiscent of a Roman custom where the leader would fault with fold up the napkin if you was going to return. That's overstated, we do know a lot about a Roman Traditions. They did have napkins handkerchiefs face, cloth that they brought with them, they brought their own napkin to the dinner. Why? Cuz they're going to wipe the sweat off their face. And so the closest thing to a napkin would be what I would call a handkerchief and I always have a handkerchief with me. My mother taught me that men should always carry a handkerchief and I just do it because it's blessed me to be able to offer it occasionally in my life. one thing we can say about the verse we can say with certainty is when they went into the tomb and saw the grave clothes, not unwrapped, And the face cloth, carefully Fold It Up. it indicated clearly to them that the body had not been stolen, cuz if you're stealing a body, you're not going to Remove the grave cloths and you're not going to carefully. Fold a nap and you're going to get the body out of there. The idea that the grave cloths were not unwrapped, there were just laying there was also an indicator that something very unusual it happened because when Lazarus was raised from the dead, they had to unwrap the clots from him. They walked into Jesus tomb, and there was no, there was nothing. Unwrapped. It was just laying there. So that meant something to them. John's, the only one who recorded this. Why did John record it? I think cuz he had a long time to think about it. The other disciples wrote their gospels much earlier than John John wrote, Somewhere run, 1995 ish on. He'd had a lifetime to think about what was going on and he marveled at it. So he included that in his description. So a brief apology. Please accept my apology. I do accept correction. Oh, yeah. I've been corrected by more than one person in here. Add. I always take it seriously. Okay? Okay. Welcome Church them aside. This is an Ancient Ancient. Fragment you already know that. We love the fact that the Bible has been preserved for us through fragments on this cycle that were reading. We have about 900 fragma connections that connect the Torah to the haftorah in in existence.

So it's a significant tradition. And yes, there was some Regional variation.

This week, I titled the sermon the king of glory.

Can someone read that melick? Ha kavod. Kavod Malachi road. So what's kavod mean? Heavy weight. E significant. Right. And they're the versus. I'm also going to be a rebel this week and do a completely different mizmor. Psalm Hit the hit, me really hard and I'm greatly blessed by it. Review who and how hardin's? So this is a review of the 412 3. 2. 2 3. This is a review of three of the hardened of words that are used in the Bible. The only one other than this means to be courageous. Be strong and courageous. Second word you could say, it means be strong and be strong. I mean to be strong and courageous anyway. And the beginning of this whole Pharaoh sequence, God tells Moses that he's going to bind up Pharaoh's heart is going to tie it up and not. He's going to mess with pharaoh and and can get him all in a trauma. Over what's going on here? He's going to tie up his heart. He's going to bind it up. Doesn't mean he's going to make it hard means he's going to confuse them. He's going to mess with Pharaoh's head at the very beginning. So Pharaoh's heart was hardened, has Zack at the end of every tourist cycle, not cycle but every chore a book we quote. We we we say hazza casa Bonita's, be strong, be strong. Let us encourage one another. It also means grab hold grab, hold grab, hold of one another. And implied is that in grabbing a hold of each other either holding each, others hands, or holding each others, shoulders or something, grabbing hold of each other. We help each other. Be strong, see idea that, that the unity of the body Demands a community. You can't be strong all by yourself. You got to be strong in the context of people who are strengthening you. So God, strengthened Pharaoh's heart. You could say, a god increased pharaohs resolved to do the things. He's already chosen to do Pharaoh, had already decided to make his heart hard. God, just help them along that way. Then the Lord said to Moses Pharaoh's heart has hardened load covid. Be weighty or significant. He refuses to let the people go and then Egyptian magicians did the same thing with the With the frogs Pharaoh's heart was not hard into sock was hardened to suck and he would not listen as the Lord has said. So the Lord said he wouldn't and he was right. When Pharaoh saw a respite, he hardened covered. Covered made significant his heart and wouldn't listen as the Lord had said.

Every time I go through the cycle of readings, I remember dozens of sermons I've heard from Full Tilt, five-point calvinist to said thorough. Pharaoh was a person that God hardened his heart and he was it's like double predestination. He was destined to do evil. No, no. That doesn't make any sense of Free Will. And predestination on this set of verses and on Judas are always counterposed against each other. In a lot of people want to stay there different and you have to believe one or the other. You don't have to believe one or the other. You have to buy the idea that God has given us Free Will and yet he Destin's some things to occur favorite quote from the tour group. I must have free will.

What is it? I have no choice.

I must have free will. I have no choice? God gives me. No choice predestined to have free will. These issues encounter post about the history of Faith, human freedom is a gift of God. But God is Sovereign over Owen preordained, some things that story of Esther as an excellent example. Esther tells her uncle I don't want to do this. This is too hard. I don't want to do it. I don't want to die. I don't want to go before before the king and and die. And the, the the the uncle says, you know what, it's okay, you don't have to do it. Esther You don't have to do it. If you don't do it, God's going to raise up somebody else to do it. You don't have to be the one you have free will, but if you don't do it, you're going to be dead. So you might want to think about that. Anyway, she had free. Will she chose don't think you'll Escape any more than other Jews if you keep silent? Who knows whether you've not come to the kingdom, for such a time as this God ordains certain things, yet gives us freedom to choose. The more I think about this and pray about it. The more convinced I am, this is absolutely true.

I will say, one thing I miss is almost anything that goes on. In church from Messiah, the views expressed in the beliefs that are stated may, or may not be those of the body of church, the Messiah, or the Elders of church, the Messiah, Etc,

I might be wrong.

We can argue on this, we can discuss on this. We can debate, we can study on this, but if you hear someone at church, the Messiah, say something, you don't totally agree with go. Okay, well, I might not totally agree with that and if it's something you feel really strongly about you should tell him. Because we're not in the business as a body of Elders to correct, such minor. Deviations what you're actually intended for the good of the community. So we allow it. We allow people to wear masks, we allow people to not wear masks, we know it might be a big issue. We're sorry. We thought about what to do. We put out the government's guidance on masks we decided we're not going to enforce it. We're just going to say this is what is recommended. Thought about that a long time and that's in the case of anything that's said here in this body. We do believe the spirit of God is present. We do believe the spirit of God is leading each of us in some way. And we believe that the spirit of God will instruct us on what we should say, and what we should not say Etc but it's not something. The elders are going to do if you want to write me a letter and say so-and-so said and I disagree that should not be said from the front. I'm going to send you back a letter. That says we don't do that.

I might have a conversation but we don't correct people for things that aren't really grevious. Does that mean we don't correct people who are doing something? No know if someone is doing something in here that I think is really grevious, I'll let them know. I think it's really grevious. Have a conversation. Maybe look up. Some Bible verses.

I picked a different means more for the day. The king of glory.

I'm recording the robin, Mark version of the Bible.

Lift up your heads O ye gates. Let the king of glory come in be lifted up. O ancient doors let the king of glory come in the altars we've built in the works. We have done, can never compare to the savior's. Love the hearts of the humble or temples of Praise as we worship the Ancient of Days as we worship. The Ancients of days. I read a verse this week and I'll tell you what the verse is that made me want to offer this song first. And it's kind of fitting that on the week that the teams are away. I'm going to show you. This other chorus, the king of glory. Comes the king of glory comes on Nation rejoices inmate. You have to be really old to remember this one? Was written in 1966. I showed up at church one week and I was I was 16. And how shall I put it? Challenging.

Not rebellious just very challenging and I was kind of giving up on Church. It seems like a waste to me. I was kind of like this is stupid just beyond even coming is stupid. I don't, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm just going to. Tell Mom and Dad. I'm not going to go anymore and I was pretty much at that point and we went to church this one day. And Marian Biddle. A beautiful choir director said, do your kids have instruments. Can you kids play any instruments? And you can't you play instruments, what instruments do you play? Piano.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What she said, we're going to do something really special next week. We're going to get together and we're all going to worship with all our instruments. What instruments do you have? And Dave Dorsey said the got bongos

And and and this is Biddle said that would be wonderful. David bring your bongos.

And I thought if she's okay with kids, bringing Bongos and playing them in church.

This might not be as bad as I thought.

So I brought my guitar, my brother, and I were playing guitar at the time. And we had our first. I had never heard the words before folk mess.

And I think the first published when was called the Chicago mass or something like that. But anyway, this is one of the very first songs I learned back then and playing guitar in front of a Congregation of people used to hearing an organ back then was very, very controversial. But it got the kids attention, the kids loved it and it continued and it's still continuing today and there's almost no chance of you going to any church where you're not going to see someone playing a guitar and maybe Bongos in front of the church today because it's worship. and, and we didn't know that back in 1966, So this is Father Willard jabusch wrote this, the king of glory comes. The nation rejoices open the gates before him lift up your voices, who is the king of glory? What shall we call him? He is Emmanuel the promise of Ages. I'm only giving you three of the five or more versus he gave his life for us. The pledge of Salvation, he took upon himself, the center of the nation's, he conquered sin and death. He truly has risen and he will share with us his heavenly. Vision. Kingdom two different translations or versions of the song and maybe 20 more versus but Back. Then, you could go through this song and actually get away with singing 20 versus

So here's the, here's the verse go to Pharaoh. Because I have hardened covered his heart live and the Heart of his servants. That I might show these my signs in their midst. In their guts. This isn't in the middle of the nation. This is in the guts of every person who's singing. You're going to get it deeply in your understanding. And so you may tell your son and your grandchildren what I've done as well as my signs that I did among them so you may know so he's saying you will know what I did. Your son will know what I did, your son's will know what I did and as Mariah said, the world will know what I did. This is what I'm doing here. So is Pharaoh King.

Of Egypt.

Miller. And his heart is made. Kavod.

You might say that Pharaoh is the melekeok Abode. The king of glory. Whose Glory? His glory.

oh, I thought we were talking about a different kind of Glory. We are What's the difference? Whose is it? There is a king of glory glory. It's significant, it's weighty, it's meaningful. It's important is critical. And that's what Pharaoh thought. His ideas were. Significant meaningful, heavy weighty important. He wanted his ideas put forward, as he was like, the Supreme King, and he was opposed to the true king of glory, the king of his glory, The Lord's Glory, the significance of the Lord and he was opposed to that. God and His will and his ways. And God is going to make judgment on all the gods of Egypt. In order that you will know what? The king of glory is done that, your son's will know what the king of glory is done that, your grandsons will know what the king of glory is done. And you'll be able to sing songs of praise to the king of glory. The Ancient of Days.

I thought wow that's really important. My wife said but you need to talk about the darkness the darkness not going. Yeah, I'll talk about the darkness. Thank you for talking about the darkness. Good job, we didn't plan that.

So that you may know that I am Adonai.

Overview Exodus, 10 1 through 29. This is the whole Torah portion. You'd have I pay the Lord cause Pharaoh's heart to be weighty significant the 8th plague locusts. So fiery, hail fiery, Hail Mary Hill. I've only seen it once. It wasn't really quite like fiery Hill, but I was hell with lightning and there was some, there was some striking and some some some kind of like fire with it. I don't think that's what this means. I think this means more fiery hail at already destroyed all the crops and now he was sending the Locust and they were going to eat everything. They're basically going to mow everything to the ground, even this double barrel confessed, a sin and pleaded, but they wouldn't, but he said, but I'm not letting you take your children now. I know you're trying to trick me. You're trying to play games with me. I'm not going to let you take your children. You can go worship your God but I'm not letting you take your children. Moses said, no got to take our children so you'd have of a strengthened huzzah, huzzah creek vineet Pharaoh's heart and then the 9th plague 21 through 29 Egyptians felt the darkness for 3 days is real headlight. I like your spin on that. Ferrell, let the little ones go this time, but he said not the herds and flocks, go ahead, take your kids. So K, now that you've showed that you're really powerful, but you can't take your herds and your flocks and Moses said, no, we need something to sacrifice to our, the Lord, our god with, we don't know what he's going to require. So we have to take the flocks as well, Pharaoh's heart was strengthened, and the ninth plague fell.

King of glory heaviness. Waiting this grevious, Ennis Mill Road.

You'd have loved has the king of glory melichar kavod king Pharaoh glorified kavod his heart. Made heavy significant his heart. When we make our own desires, more significant than God were like farro. If you have an agenda and this is how you want it to be done. And you have a plan and you think I'm going to do this because this is where I've been put and you're not waiting for the leading of the Holy Spirit. You may be executing your own desires.

And if you're executing your own desires, you're ignoring the holy spirit. Is trying to tell you something.

Years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and I knew I had to kneel down and I did and pray for my daughter and I did and I started praying. And, and it's kind of like God, Tap me on the shoulder.

Hey Rob. Yes, Lord. Why are you praying for what you want? What? I want the same things you want.

You want what you want. So your life will be better.

That isn't the big deal here.

I want something more.

And I was undone.

And whenever I think of that, I still am on time. When we make our desires, more significant than God, we're being just like pharaoh.

Lord, may we not. Make our agenda. Put our agenda in front of your leading. Lord help us to wait for your speaking voice to us, or your instruction, or your inclination, the inclination of your spirit to do what you want us to do for your purposes and not for our own. We desire not to be like Farrow and get in front of you and your will we desired honor, what you are trying to do, what you are not trying to do what you are doing. In the world, we desire to be instruments of your kingdom. Not of our own. We ask this in Jesus name, amen.

God's will purposes will be done our our purposes will fail. There's not a single thing that we purpose to do that we'll succeed if it's not what God has put in place for us. Not a thing. This takes us forward to Romans what is revealed about. All this is God's Anger from Heaven against all those who are doing, what Pharaoh did. What we do? putting our agenda in front of his

All the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness, keep suppressing the truth. What do you mean suppressing the truth? I'm not surprising the truth. Rob, I'm just doing what I think I need to do. Good, that's nice. Are you listening for the leading of the Holy Spirit? What do you mean? You don't know what I mean.

Maybe you need to slow down a little

Maybe you need to pray, maybe you need to ask wisdom, maybe you need to rely on his presence to guide you. That's truth. What you think is truth might not be truth and might be truth but I might not be truth. God's truth is truth. Yours may be temporary, temporary. Truth is not truth. Because what is known about God is plain to them. We know about God, since God has made it plain to them for ever since the creation of the universe is invisible. Qualities both his eternal power and his divine nature have been clearly seen. We know what God is. We know who he is, we know what he wants, we see it. We're not confused about this. But we pretend that we are. We put our agenda in front of God.

And we need to repent of that.

And yet we have Resurrection Life.

The Lord is risen. He is risen, indeed. He is risen in you. He is risen in you, you know, the truth.

Because they can understand from what has been made there for, they have no excuses. You have no excuse. I have no excuse since they have not considered God worth knowing because if you're putting your agenda in front of God, you're really saying, I don't need to know God, I know what is right and good. Do you need to know God? God is worth knowing. His presence is worth Experiencing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking. This is David Stern.

Giving them over to their own evil desires. I like David's words a little bit better here. It's little bit softer. He's given them up to worthless ways of thinking, so they do improper things. We don't want to do improper things. God, we want to be lined up with you and your purposes. Help us. Dear Lord, in Jesus name. So we're moving right along to the hafter reading for the week and the time. Between what happened with pharaoh and the plagues and what's happening in 1st Samuel, and the Philistines, capturing the ark is about 500 years. Now, when things happen in the United States, 500 years later, we don't remember what happened. Wait a minute, the United States hasn't been around for 500 years.

500 years, you think they forgot, right? And a different country to boot, right? Yeah you decide God played the Philistines with mice and tumors. He said a plague on them of mice. Now, the Philistines were involved in what Trade. Via what?

What route? Seatrade. What's the worst thing? A sea trade salesman can have on his boat? Mice. Did I hear mice? Yeah, mice is a plague for Philistines that that that's something they don't want. It's not what they worshipped. They were plagued with mice and they were plagued with tumors. The Bible is, what should we do? Priests replied, send away the Ark of God. So I'll take you forward one here. So, a little story, this is background. So, the ark have been taken for Shiloh, which is way over here over to hear. There were a couple of battles in this area and right here, the ark was captured and the Philistines decided, oh, this is cool. We're going to take this Ark of God down to our capital city. So they took it all the way down to ashdod, where the Temple of Dagon was. And these are three of the main cities Akron, gas ashdod, Gaza, and one other and gas was down here. And there's one other one, huh? Ashkelon. Okay, sis two more down here. This is a car to Atlas. They did he didn't include these with. This is the best map of this was what happened. So they take a take the ark down to ashdod and they have some problems and that's what reading about right now.

What should we do? What problems did they have? Okay, so they set up the arc next to Dagon in dagens, Temple in a tin and Ash. And something very unusual happened that night Dagen. Instead of being perched up on his pedestal in the morning was flat on his face in front of the Ark and they go that's unusual. Let's pick him up. Let's pick him up, stand them up again, so they stood up that gone again and the next morning they came in and guess what had happened? Yeah, he had fallen again on his face but this time his head had fallen off and his hands and falling off. On the threshold of the Temple. And so from that point forward, nobody stepped on the threshold of the temple. And I can't say that without thinking, step on a crack, break your mother's back. Yes, Mike

daggone.

That's how the god Dagon got his name.

I think it's some of a nickel.

I hope you always do.

I don't think I have a proof text to question your Your Authority here.

The five leaders of the Philistines, those five cities went to their priests, their highest, most revered Scholars and said, what what should we do? What should we do? And the free said, don't be an idiot. Don't you know, what happened in Egypt? Don't don't do that. That's that stupid. Just send the ark back. That's basically what they said, but I'll read a little bit more, don't Harden? Your hearts, don't make yourselves Kings of Glory, like pharaoh and the Egyptians did. And so, the five Lords offered golden tumors one for each. And that's cuz they had tumors on them. And they, they molded the tumors that were on them because this was a plague and they, and they going to get rid of them. So, they molded them and gold and gave them back to God. And and then the golden mice for the cities and towns. And I guess they had a lot of mice. I don't know. They might have had 2020 mice, I don't know. Maybe five, don't know. So they said make these, make make this Guilt offering. To the Lord of Israel, the Lord God of Israel and he'll leave you alone. You just have to make a guilt offering and send the artifact. You can't, you can't keep the ark here. So what they did was They took the ark from ashdod and they sent it the Gap and gas got infected with tumors and everything else. And so they sent it on to at Grand and then in ekron they got infected with tumors and everything else and so that the priest said send it on the road. So there's one road going this way. I'm is one road going this way and they said don't guide the cows, Just For The Oxen, just just just send them on, to send them off, just put the stuff together, make the guilt offerings of the Mison, end, the end the tumors. And in what that basically is, is confessing your sins against the god of Israel by acknowledging. The plagues that he sent against you. The mice in the tumors, they didn't worship meissen tumors, they worship daggone. So they said, do do it this way. And don't tell the cart where they don't tell the Oxford, just let him go. And if they go, that way toward best Shemesh will know. God is God.

And so they put the Ark on the cart and they started to take it out and indeed it walked right off and went straight to best Shemesh, where it stopped.

Best Seamus is very famous place. I'm not going to get into all the history. There is a lot for many, many, many, many, many, many years. But it's significant that stopped at the Shemesh and some of the people invest in decided, they would look on the ark and I don't know what that means. And they were struck dead, and all the people in bet, Shemesh were morning and scared that they'd done something wrong because this is the god who has all power. And so, they called to the people in curiosity hjerim, give you and ask for help and they, they said, okay, we'll come down to help you. So the priests of incurious, jharrel Jerome and his three sons.

Took the ark and brought it up to that place. And it stayed there for about 20 years at a curiosity Harem now David? Wait a minute. David's not even around yet. This is before the Kings Samuels, the leader of Israel. So this is even before swallow has been anointed, David eventually wants to take it to Jerusalem. And so he tries to take it after 17 years after 20 years, and, One of the sons who took the ark from one place to another place. Rosa, Rosa noticed that the ark was toppling and he put out his hand to shtetl study attend, he died. Which made David a little bit worried and he wanted to make sure you did it, right? Because this is this is a serious God. He doesn't mess around And it eventually takes it into Jerusalem when, you know, all that story.

Don't Harden your hearts like pharaoh and the Egyptians. So the five Lords offer to Golden tumors one each for each of the Lord's and maybe a bunch of golden mice, for all the Philistines cities and towns, including the small towns, so, they could be a lot of nice, golden mice, that they've offered when they saw Israelites offering burn offerings when the Philistine Lords, followed them all the way to Best Shemesh and they saw them offering sacrifices. They go. Not our problem anymore. We can go home and then headed back.

Questions.

This is a God not to be trifled with.

And the Philistine priests knew enough to tell their Lords. Don't mess around with this guy. He's serious.

Try this. It might work. It kind of worked. He stopped plugging them with mice and tumors.

Who is the king of glory?

You could say, the five Lords of the Philistines thought they were when they took the ark and tried to put it next to Dag on. Daggone. There it is again. You could say Pharaoh considered himself the king of glory. The only one king of glory. All the other Glory, all the other heaviness, all the other significance is going to be zeroed out. Why the true king of glory? All of your agenda. that you put in front of him without asking for his guidance and wisdom is going to be zeroed out nullified

Gone.

All of your wealth. All of your value, all of your riches, all of everything that you are other than what's him will be zeroed out.

Nullified.

I've talked too many friends of mine who gone to be with the Lord and every one of them says,

You know, I'm not I'm not going to be here, you know? I mean, all this stuff that I've acquired, I'm I'm not going to be here. It's not going to be of any value to me and and you go well. So you can't take it with you. Now, you can't take it with you. But every one of them had another really important idea.

When you get there, wherever it is, whatever it is that you want. Or need will be there.

And it'll be better than what you got.

Frank doll said, all you need to do is imagine it and it will be imagine a rose. And you'll be able to smell it. I don't know all I know is God provides everything that's needed. And the stuff that's here. You don't need, you don't need your agenda. You don't need your wealth. You don't need to riches. You don't need your guitar. You don't need your cell phone. You don't need anything. That's hear what he's going to provide. Will be far greater than that.

So this is kind of like a closing hymn lift up your heads O ye gates let the king of glory come in be lifted up. O ancient doors let the king of glory come in. This this lifting up your heads, what what this is saying? It's not that there's a structure called a gate head, although you can make that argument, the real meaning behind us is that, is that the gates are waiting for the king to come. and when he starts coming in, they're going to lift up their heads and see him coming and opened. To receive the king. And that's what our hearts are supposed to do Mike again.

Yeah.

Yeah, I agree. I agree. The, the king of glory is represented by the arc carrying The Arc in is is representative of the king of glory coming in. It's, it's something you have to seriously. Do, you can't do it lightly? Lupe.

The light being with God's glory. Yeah.

Right. My agenda of what I want, right?

Trance transfigured by the presents.

Light.

Yeah. Yep.

Yep.

I think. The light in the glory that he is and trust me, it's hard to put them.

Yeah, one of the things that really makes me happy about this community is it's okay for kids to say stuff and it's almost always gold, almost always gold.

Yeah, Fellowship. They're engaged Sukkot. I think it was last year.

Asher asked to if he could go get the lulav and stuff cuz he saw me up here with the lulav and stuff and and I'm explaining a lot of stuff and Ashley's looking up at me and and ask a question to the community are rhetorical question and and it looks up at me and he says well that's the spirit Rob.

And I go. Okay, I'm going to sit down now Saturday is good Happening Here.

And not sing the kids, the teenagers, young adults, praising us, and being in the mall. That's just So does this morning's gold really? For me? And anyways, on the topic of the Ark being in you and the topic of the Transfiguration light and the light, the light of the presents,

Toro thing. So Moses was up on the mountain twice or three times with the Lord. And the first time he came down, is it recorded that he is face was shining? No, its base wasn't trying the first time he came down. Second time, he came down, his face was shining. What's different? Robbie been on the mountain with God for 40 days. Yeah he's already been that he's already done that. His face wasn't shining. The first time face was shining a second time, so the tradition is that At least one tradition and Bo disagrees with this, and I appreciate that, but it's okay. This way you'll know that week, we have differences of opinion. The first tablets were written by the Finger of God.

Black fire on white flowers, some of the commentary Jewish commentary. It was like the whole word of God recorded on Stone more, like living fire. The Living Word was like written on Stone and one tradition holds that you could ask the tablets questions and they would give you the answer, they give you the verse that it would it was an interactive experience.

The second time Moses came down, it's recorded.

Moses had to write the words.

On the tablet. So now they're carved in stone.

Why do they glow? And not that the teaching is that.

We can I put the fullness of God's glory. Unwritten words.

We're pretty limited. God had a lot of leftover ink. And so the glowing of Moses is liking to the leftover ink of God's word that was poured through Moses. So it lived and dwelt in Moses and so when we go out to the world we got lots of leftover ink. We should be shining we should be shining. We should be allowing the Ark of God, the king of glory to shine through our presence. We should allow the Living Word of God to influence and affect our every thought, or every idea or every word. I don't have a better way to say it. Put down your heaviness. Pick up, God's glory. Lift up your heads O ye gates. Let the king of glory come in be lifted up of ancient doors. Let the king of glory come in glory to the Lord. Our God glory to the Lamb. On the throne, we open wide the gates of our hearts, with our lips. We rise up and pray. Another version says, praise as we worship the Ancient of Days. Amen. And amen. Thank you very much.
