Did He Forget?

This episode. A passage of scripture. Guts me a little bit. Maybe it will gut you too, I don't know.

Some promises take so long. Some some promises take so long to keep. Some promises take so long to keep that you stop actually expecting them to come to fruition. You stop expecting them to happen. You prayed the same prayer for years. You've waited on the same word for so long that hope started feeling less like faith and more like a habit you couldn't quite let go of. You've wondered more than once. You've wondered if God even remembers what he said. Or if it just got lost and all the great somewhere out there, and all the stuff that he has going on, you think. I don't know that he still remembers Lelome. Israel waited four hundred and thirty years for this night, not roughly four hundred and years, not approximately. The text is about to tell you exactly. And when the night finally came, it came exactly on schedule to the day after four centuries nobody alive had lived through the beginning of.

Imagine. Good morning to you all.

Good morning and shalom. Shalom elecum Welcome to True Word, Faith for Life with Dr. Sean, as you might guess, I'm Dr. Sean. We're just Sean. Day sixty-seven Exodus twelve verses twenty nine through fifty-one. This is the night itself. The one every chapter since Genesis twelve has been walking toward. Lots of folks in live chat. Great people. God bless you all. What a blessing. Tell your friends. Every chapter, every chapter since Genesis twelve has been walking toward this. And it's real. My book, True Word Faith for Life, is available now at TruewordFaithforLife.com and everywhere books are sold. There's links below, and I don't know. True WordFaithforLife.com is a repository of excellent information and resources, follow-ups to these. My bibliographies are there, footnotes are there. Discussion questions. You name it. It's all there. It's all free. The book's not free. That's where I talk about the Bible rebinding under the store. Bible rebinding that um Melissa's. She's uh she's amazing, beautiful work. The last two Bibles I'm having done, she's working on. So the process is wild. Anyway, all that stuff's there. It's in Etsy. I didn't do much with Etsy, I didn't know much about it, but if all of Etsy is like her, good lands. Anyway, the book is there, true words pay for life. Maybe get a copy for yourself, get one for somebody who's they've been waiting so long, they almost stopped believing it's coming. So today's question, and I think if we're being honest, for people of faith, I talked yesterday, you know. Could you answer that? Why do you believe? What do you believe? Why do you do it? What does it all mean? You know, that type of thing. That's a real challenge. If you don't know, you better know. You better, you better find out. It's important. So today's question. What do you do when the promise finally comes exactly on time?

It's a real question.

What do you do? What then? What then? What then when God's promises come to fruition and it's exactly as he promised. Let's go in. At midnight, exactly as promised, the Lord struck every firstborn in Egypt, from Pharaoh on his throne to the prisoner in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock besides. The instructions were clear. The Pharaoh thought he was exempt. I think a lot of people did. Bunch of bunch of stress and whatnot. I'm not gonna worry over it. It'll be fine. I've been fine up until now. And then it struck. And nobody, nobody could escape. From the very top to the the lowest person. Every firstborn of the livestock besides. There wasn't a single house in Egypt without somebody dead. Can you imagine the cries? And the cry that went up that night was unlike anything the nation had ever heard. And Pharaoh, he summons Moses and Aaron in the middle of the night. Go, he says. Take your flocks, your herds, everyone, everything, and be gone. And then almost unbelievably, he says, Bless me also. Bless me also. The Egyptians themselves start urging Israel out. Come on, come home. We'll help you back. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, come, come on. Let's not waste time. Hey, I'll sweep up for you. Don't worry. Don't worry. You don't want to worry about picking this or up. Don't worry about leaving anything. Just go on. Go on. Go on so you won't come back. They started rushing them out. They were terrified if these Israelites don't leave immediately, everybody in the land's going to be dead. They finally got it. We can't act like we're we're well above it because I don't think we finally get it. Israel leaves in such haste that their bread dough, not yet leavened, gets wrapped in cloaks and carried out on their shoulders, kneading bowls and all. They take the silver, the gold, and clothing that the Egyptians handed over willingly. The debt from Exodus 11 is finally settled. Roughly 600,000 men. Remember, they counted just the men, not the women, not the children. 600,000 men leave on foot, along with a mixed multitude of others and vast flocks and herds. Mixed multitude of others. What's that about? Let's find out. The scripture gives us the number that's been building the whole time. The time the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. Can you imagine 430 years? And at the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. Good morning to you all. Good morning, good morning, Miss Sharon. So nice to see you. Hello, Miss Tammy. Good to see you. Robbie? Sean, spelled correctly. Nicole, good early morning for you. Dragonfly, good to see you. Susan, good to see you. And my buddy Joe. To be continued 25. He got to come see my mess, that is my studio. A little tiny studio. And bye yesterday. And uh anyway, I'll be preaching uh in person at Virginia Creek Ministries this Sunday. We will be celebrating Pastor Russell Wright and his beautiful wife, Miss Kathy's three-year anniversary there, ministering at um Virginia Creek Ministries. You don't want to miss it. It'll be fun. Not because of me, but because of them. They're amazing people. And you're going to hear more about how amazing they are and the providence of God over time. I'd love for you to come. It's uh Virginia Creek Campground. That's where it is. It's a church in the middle of the campground. You'll hear the story of that. It's fascinating. Um there's a book written about it. Right here. And it's nice. It's called Virginia Creek Campground, A Little Slice of Heaven by Tim and Brenda Heath. So very nice people. And they'll tell they tell the story in the book, and I'll tell some of it there. I think it, I think you'll find it to be interesting. It's um it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun. Uh we start sharp at 9 30. I know when I'm preaching, 9 30. Let's get there. It's not gonna be as long as any of these. It's gonna be a much shorter message, but um I'd love to see you. And if you bought a book and you happen to be near Surf City, North Carolina, and you can be there, I'm happy to sign it. Instantly worth half. So the chapter closes with instructions for who might share in this meal going forward. And one plain statement that closes the whole scene. On that very day, the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts. Listen, there's some deep theology here. Three things in this passage carry weight worth weight worth gold and silver, and it's also worth slowing down for. First, the number. 430 years. Scripture doesn't round it off or wave vaguely at a long time. It says, on that very day, nobody alive when Israel entered Egypt lived to see this night. This is this is generations later. There's nobody alive at the beginning that's now, oh, we're free. Oh, the problem. He wasn't kidding, he really did keep his promise. By the way, how's the sound? I don't. I never know. Consider this. Nobody alive when Israel entered Egypt lived to see this night. And nobody watching this night could have calculated the exact anniversary without knowing the number God had been keeping the whole time. God wasn't just faithful eventually. He was faithful to the day, across more than four centuries, through slavery, through silence, through generations who died still waiting. That's a kind of faithfulness that doesn't just keep promises. Thank you, Nicole. Thank you, Joe. Thank you, Sean. God bless you. Thank you, Robbie. I want you to think about this. Four centuries, more than four. What they had been through. And there were generations that died, still waiting, waiting for the promise to be fulfilled. That's a kind of faithfulness that doesn't just keep promises, it keeps calendars. So, second, look at the unleavened bread again. Don't, you know, when we're ticking boxes, reading through the Bible and you read, well, I'm gonna hurry up. Good morning, Miss Linda. God bless you. When we're ticking boxes, there's a temptation to you know, I gotta hurry up and read this passage. Don't do it. That's why we're walking the story of God, because well, I don't see the point in buzz sawing through it. You don't know what's happening. You don't know what it means. That's why I do it the way I do it. Ancient Near Eastern language, culture, and context. And boy, this part, the second part here, the theology behind it, I'm gonna just tell you. Woof. Look at the unleavened bird again. A little slower this time. Because something shifts here. Yesterday, God commanded it as a an um a memorial ordinance. But today, we also find out it's it's also just quite simply what happened. Israel left in such genuine haste, there wasn't time to let the dough rise. The command and the reality collapse into each other. God didn't invent a symbol after the fact, he built genuine historical urgency into the exact shape of the memorial that would outlast it. Now, I have to say, I say it often, I have to say it again. We owe so much to the Jews, we owe so much to the Jews. If they hadn't remembered this, if they hadn't systematically, you say, well, why do they do all the feasts and all that? That's called Moedim. It's an appointed time. It's something, something uh appointed there that God has said, do this. And so they do those things. They continue to do those things. They don't go, oh well, you know, uh Jesus abolished Torah, so we're done. Which he didn't abolish it. He came not to abolish it, but to fulfill it. That's a whole nother teaching. There's a whole lot to it. I go in way deeper than you can ever imagine. So I just, you know, they they've done such a beautiful job keeping records of it and observing it and remembering this is why they do what they do. There's some value. Uh Jerry and Myra, dear friends of mine, they um they've been on the show a few times and go back and search them and their appearances here on the show, and they teach all about the feasts and what they're about and the observances and all. It's it's really, really quite something. I've been to Sukkot at uh their house uh when they lived in Delaware. It was cool, it was fun. This third thing, notice, you know, maybe maybe you read through it quickly before, but now, you know, I want to put the brakes on a little bit. Notice who leaves with Israel. It's not just ethnic Israel. You hear all this stupid stuff right now, people on the internet, internet university that say, well, it's not actually Israel. They're not actually the authentic Israel, Israeli people, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I know what they're trying to say. Superfluous. Bovine feces in a circular wind device. Notice who leaves with Israel. There, it's not just ethnic Israel. It's a mixed multitude that goes with them. And the the chapters closing instructions make room for any foreigner willing to be circumcised to keep the Passover fully as a native under one single law for native and stranger alike. From the very night of the Exodus itself, this deliverance was never sealed off by bloodline. It was never sealed off to bloodline. It was always open to anyone willing to come under the same covering. So put together, this passage says something that holds across every generation since. God keeps his promises to the exact day. He builds real history into lasting memorial. And he was never interested in saving only the people who were born into it. That should make us feel pretty good. So here's where this lands close to home. At least for moi. Maybe I don't know about for you, but for me, close to home. Because most of us are we're carrying something we've waited on so long that the waiting itself has started to feel like the answer. Oh, is this the answer? The waiting? You know? Is that the lesson? Is that the it's all about the waiting? And maybe more seriously, maybe it's a marriage that you've been praying over for years. While everyone else's prayers seem to land faster. You've been praying and praying and praying. Maybe it's a family dynamic that you're living in. And you say they're no help to me. They don't care. Nobody but me believes. And everybody else's prayers that you know that are people of faith, they seem to land faster. Maybe, maybe it's a diagnosis that you never expected, and you've asked God to reverse, or maybe it's a prodigal, maybe you've got a prodigal child. You've named in prayer, you've put before God so many times the name doesn't feel hopeful anymore, just feels familiar. And somewhere along the way, you started preparing yourself for disappointment rather than actually expecting the promise. That's not weakness. That's what 430 years does to a person's hope. Notice what the chapter actually says. The delay was never evidence that God had forgotten. It was God keeping an exact calendar the entire time. Even when nobody watching could see it. Even when the generation that received the original promise had been dead for centuries, your waiting isn't proof that God has lost track. It might be proof he's working on a timeline more precise than you've been given the ability to see. Oh, we don't like that word. Patience. Good morning, Miss Colling. Good morning to you all. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon. Whatever time you're listening to this, I failed to mention. Um, we're on every podcast. If if it's a podcast place, platform, whatever, uh, we're on it. From Spotify to iHeartRadio to Apple Podcasts to blah, blah, blah, whatever. We're on them all. Generally about two, two and a half hours, maybe one hour after I have to edit it and do all the stuff. And then for you know, sound only, and then it's out. It's also posted uh at some point within a few hours on TrueWord, faithforlife.com under episodes. So they're always it's always there. So I'd love it if you'd join up in those because you know you can listen to those, put them on your car radio or whatever. Or if you just don't want to see my face, I don't blame you. I wouldn't either. I'm trying not to look at myself in the camera now. So here's the second thing worth sitting with the mixed multitude. I, you know, we sometimes when we study the word, we even if we're not doing through the Bible in a year or some sort of program, even without that, we very often can we can miss this. The mixed multitude. What? The mixed multitude leaving Egypt that night wasn't there because of ancestry. They were people from other places, they were people Egyptians. They were there because they attached themselves to what God was doing among his people. And God made room for them under the exact same covering, the exact same law, the exact same freedom. Now, let me say, you folks that go to modern churches and you throw rocks at people because they come from different backgrounds, I don't know why you do it. Doing that is the opposite of this. But you know what? Maybe you felt like an outsider. Maybe you felt like an outsider to what God's doing. Maybe you were the one that came from a different background. Maybe you're the one that came from the other side of the tracks. Maybe you're the one that's a little bit shy at first. Or always. Maybe you're the one that has some anger issues. Maybe you're the one that has some hurt. Maybe you're the one that's fearful. If you've ever felt like an outsider of what God's doing, like maybe grace was clearly meant for somebody else's bloodline. You just happen to be standing nearby. Well, this chapter says otherwise. The door was open on the very first night it existed, and it's still open today. Now, the Apostle Paul or Shaol tells us plainly that when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, not early, not late, the fullness of time. The same precision that kept a 430-year promise to the exact day. And look again at the instruction closing this chapter. Oh, come on, don't miss this. And and tell me in comments if you've never ever connected these two. It's okay to admit it. It's a hundred percent okay to admit it. Are you ready? You shall not break a bone of the Passover Lamb. Centuries later, at the cross, soldiers came to break the legs of the men crucified alongside of Yeshua. Cru refracture. Cru refracture is what it's called. It's a standard practice to hasten death. The Romans were rough people, but it was almost like uh benevolence. If you were still alive after all that, hey, they got places to go, man. Centuries later. From when that was said, the soldiers came to break the legs of Jesus. When they came to him. I mean, the other two, they handled it, they broke their legs and they died. But when they came to Jesus, when they came to Yeshua, he was already dead. And scripture tells us plainly, this happened so that the word would be fulfilled. Not one of his bones will be broken. The Passover Lamb. The detail that God wrote into this very first Passover meal was still being kept to the letter at Calvary. Also, I have to say, the mixed multitude leaving Egypt that night still walking out today. Every single person who was they were never born into the covenant by blood, and that includes every one of us. We're not ethnically Israel, unless you're Israeli. Every one of us have the exact same, the exact same door, and it's open. It was open that night. That very first night. One law, one covering, one lamb, for native and stranger alike. God kept a promise to the exact day. After 430 years of silence. He kept a detail about an unbroken bone for fifteen centuries until it landed exactly on the cross. That same God. He's keeping whatever he has promised to you to the day. Even now. Some of you, some of us, are, whether knowingly or unknowingly, we're we're about to go into a rough period, a very difficult time. Whether it's loss of a dear family member, or it's the loss of our own life. God keeps his promises. To the day. Even now. Look, nothing about this timeline. Not a single thing about it was improvised. Every piece of it was being kept. In long, full, full. I mean, just great detail. Long before anybody watching could have seen the whole picture. The people that made the promise to, they weren't around. Generations had passed since. Well, you say, I want a way to know I'm concretely obeying. I want to be in obedience, so what do I do first? Name the promise. Name the promise you've been waiting on so long you've quietly stopped expecting it. Don't let the the the length of the wait convince you the promise expired. It didn't. Oh, it's easy. Look, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna gloss over this. It is so very easy to feel the weight of the moment. Every day, you feel like the answer hasn't come. The answer hasn't come. The promise hasn't been delivered. Promise didn't expire. Don't let the length of the wait convince you that the promise expired. It didn't. It doesn't. He keeps his promises. Second, remember that urgency and haste are s they're they're not signs that God's plan has fallen apart. We are impatient people. Especially this generation. We are impatient people. It is extraordinary, Harold, how in utterly impatient we are. In urgency and haste to us, we're a microwave generation. You know, the the instructions say put it in for 30 seconds. And at 21 seconds, we're taking it out. Some of us at 10 seconds are taking it out, it's fine. And then we spend however long we're eating that complaining about how it didn't taste good. Urgency and haste, we just are driven on it. Hurry up, get to the point, people say. I hear it often with my style of teaching. You take too long to get to the point. All that stuff before it is so that you will understand the point. Truly understand it. Urgency and haste are not tantamount to God's plans falling apart. Sometimes the unleavened bread, the thing that looks like it went wrong because there wasn't time to prepare, is exactly what God intended to use as the lasting memorial. Three, you know, and I took forever to get to this, but it's worth it. If you've ever felt like an outsider to what God is doing, you see God working, obviously working in other people's lives, and you go, why them and not me? Why is it happening for them and not me? Walk through the door anyway. It's been open since the very first night, one law for native and stranger alike. Go through it yourself. Listen, when you go to a church, and we should, I mean, that's that that's not the center of our faith. If you think that it is, if you think that sitting, no matter how good the pastoral preaching is, if you think that somehow or another, in those moments, you're gonna get everything you need for your week in a 20, 30, or however long message, if you think you're gonna get it, that's all you need, you're sadly mistaken. You say, I'm not a reader, become one. How much time do you spend in the book? Outside of that I have for you today, as I do, every single day, a challenge and a choice. Let me let me go back a second though, because I just thought of something. You know, when you go to a new church, maybe it's in a new town, you're visiting, you're vacationing, whatever. And if you go to church when you vacation, which I encourage you to do, um, I think it's cool to worship in other places, other cultures. I think it's cool, it's fun, it's interesting. And maybe go to a church a little bit outside your tradition. Understand. Well, sometimes, like even in our hometown, we find a church and we say, Well, I don't I feel out of place here. Maybe the church isn't for you, maybe it is. I don't know. There are lots of churches. Sometimes the thing that needs to bend isn't them, it's you. And sometimes you go in expecting perfection. That's your benchmark. Oh, this place is dirty, this place is a mess. But then your house is dirty and a mess. Well, the air conditioning's too low, air conditioning's too high. You find every reason under the sun. These seats are uncomfortable. They sing songs I don't know. Preacher's too fat, preacher's too thin, preacher's too ugly. He's too handsome to be a preacher. Oh, they have women in the worship team. They have woman worship leader. They have, oh, this thing, the next thing, and you go in trying to throw rocks at everything, single thing. Walk through the open door. Humbly. There's no perfect gathering. There's not. Church is a place for the for the folks that are broken and are trying to get unbroken through the word, through a real relationship with God the Father and Yeshua the Son, entreating the Holy Spirit to live and work in you. Look, the challenge and the choice today is kind of simple. What promise have you been waiting on so long that hope has started to feel like a habit instead of an expectation? Do you actually believe God is keeping an exact calendar on what He's told you, even when 400 years of silence says otherwise? Therein is faith. That's what it is. If it was easy, everybody would do it. Have you been standing outside grace? Assuming that it was meant for somebody else's story. When the door has been open to you the whole time, you've been standing outside. Outside that door, you just knew this was all meant, this story was meant for somebody else. The door's been open for you from the very beginning. Here's the choice today. Keep bracing for disappointment because the wait has gone on so long. I'm just going to be disappointed, so I'm preparing myself to be disappointed. Or trust that the God who kept a promise to the exact day. Oh, amen. Welcome, Naughty 176. And see, I saw a door opened in heaven. The veil is torn. We can enter boldly to the throne of grace. Amen. Amen. Robbie says keeping the calendar is right on target. Amen. Listen, you can you can choose to just stay in a state of constant disappointment. You know, you say things like this when somebody asks you how you're doing, and they know you're suffering through pain or maybe uh illness, terminal otherwise, or chronic. Uh, maybe you you you've lost someone um that's very important to you, and and they fully expect you to be forlorn. And in many cases, that's that's expected. That's how we are to be. We are to mourn those that we've lost, because if you love greatly, you will grieve greatly. But there are many of us who will say, Oh, the Lord, you know, well, somebody say, How you doing? Oh, well, you know, and then they'll list 27 things, 27 horrible things, which aren't in and of themselves horrible. But, you know, to that person, maybe it's you. It is horrible. And maybe you've had a tough life. True enough. But then at the end of you listing that whole thing, you say, but God is good. And then they might retort all the time. Stop bracing for disappointment because the wait has gone on a long time. I mean, you can do that. That's a strategy, I guess. Or you can trust that God, the God, who kept a promise to the exact day after four centuries, four hundred years, is still keeping his word to you right now, even in silence. I want you to pray with me. Father, in the name of Yeshua, your son, thank you that you keep promises to the exact day, even after centuries of what looked like silence. Thank you that grace was never closed off to the bloodline and that the door has been open since the very first night. For everyone who's been waiting so long that they stopped expecting, Father, remind them tonight that you haven't forgotten the calendar. Father, I pray a special prayer for my dear friend Linda Kehalen. The loss of my sweet friend eight years ago today. Chris Kehalen. He's there with you now. Handsome dude, funny, sweet, super smart, incredible guy, great dad and a great husband. Eight years, eight years he's been in your care. Comfort those who love him, his children, his dear mom. His aunts and his uncles and his friends that loved him and will love him again. Father, remind us that you haven't forgotten the calendar. For everyone who's felt like an outsider to what you're doing. Show them that the door has always included them. Always. In the name of your son Yeshua. Amen. Look, maybe the promise, maybe the promise you need most tonight isn't something you've been waiting years for. It's something available to you right now. The same door that was opened to the mixed multitude on that very first Passover night. I mean, do you do you get that? They had to put the blood of the lamb on the door. They had to get a lamb, a perfect lamb, slay it, and and then take the blood and with a hyssop and put it over the door. And only then would the angel of death pass over. Hence pass over. Pass over. And there were many. They weren't the Hebrews. But they did it. They were outsiders. And yet the door was open to them. Just like you. Maybe you feel like an outsider, and maybe you clicked on this show because you were curious, but you stayed because something resonated with you. And you said, Whoa, I I need that. Pray this prayer with me right now. Pray it and mean it. Here we go. Yeshua, I need you. I believe that you died for me and rose from the grave. I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me. Forgive me of my sins, my hurts, my habits, and my hangups. Fill me. Lead me. I'm yours. Help me to be a beacon of light to the world. In your name. Amen. If you prayed that prayer, you can have the same assurance that Chris had. My buddy Chris had pancreas cancer. He's a young stud, beautiful young family, bunch of beautiful kids, beautiful wife, wonderful mom. So many people that loved him. And yet he was sure. He and I had conversations. I don't know, Linda, how close it was to his passing, but it was pretty close to his passing. We had real conversations. You know, when you're you're in horrible pain and you're facing the end, you want to clarify some stuff. That's why I always say keep short accounts with God. But Chris knew, and you can know. And if you prayed that prayer, now you can know. When you close your eyes, the last time here on earth, whatever cause, whatever reason, that you will be in the presence of the Lord. If you just prayed that prayer, welcome to the family. I'm here to help. It's easy to obtain. True WordFaithforLife.com slash contact or just go to the top button or the one on the side. The one on the side is voicemail. It's only two minutes. I pay for it, so you don't have to. Don't worry about it. We don't collect a bunch of stuff. Yes, you have to put your name in there and your email. I have to have a way to get back in touch with you. And not for nothing, people will get on there and just destructively because every time it costs me money. So they'll do it. They'll fill it up with 30, 40, 50 messages. So you can put it in there. I have a way to come back. So if you're one of those people that just wants to get on there and swear at me and tell me I'm the devil and I suck as a person, well, you're not telling me something I don't know. I do suck as a person. But for those of you, for those of you who you really want to know, you really want to connect. I'll help you every step of the way. You'd be surprised. Some of the folks that have contacted me and listen to this. They're not in live chat sometimes, sometimes they are. And they contact me and they say, I've been listening for four years. When he had 12, 12 subscribers. And I've gotten so mad at you, and I've gotten so mad at God over that time. But and I keep coming back, and I finally place my faith in Christ today. And I just wanted you to know, what do I do next? I'll help you. And listen, if this is your first time, which it's okay. We love people here for the first time, whether you know anything about the Lord or whether you, whether you don't.

Look, I I do uh study guide and blog, probably 20 hours just on those a week. Don't skip over it. Don't let me waste my time and effort. Make it, make it count. The study guide has, I mean, it's detailed. My bibliography is everything that I've read during the week. To prepare all these, it's there. The only thing I ask is it, you know, because I I want you to be able to use it for your own personal devotions or even for your small group. I'd love for you to do that. Only thing I ask is that when you copy them, you catch that copyright. Everything I do, spoken or written, is copyrighted. Just copyright, cover that, so that when you share it, the copyright is there. That's all I ask. I don't look for accolade, I just want acknowledgement because I spend a lot of money doing this. I used I was a photographer and people ripped me off just horribly, making tons of money. I wish I could figure out how to do it. Anyway, started day one, walk it out from the beginning. Listen, 430 years. On that very day, God brought his people out, not roughly on time, exactly on time. Whatever you've been waiting on. Whatever you've been waiting on, he hasn't lost the calendar. He never has. By the way, I don't know how to say that. Jay just J sit boy 8378. I don't know. I've heard a bunch of really good deductive arguments for atheism. Have you ever heard the time argument? I've heard them all. I'm a theologian. Been doing this for a long time. I've heard them all. I've debated them all, every single one. I don't anymore. If you believe, you believe. If you don't, you don't. The consequences are yours to bear. And once you've heard the truth, you can't deny the truth unless you do. And then the consequences fall completely and totally upon you. I wish that you would choose the light, capital L, but if you do, you do. I can't make you. Look, if somebody you know has been, they've been waiting so long, they've been waiting so long, they've quietly given up. They've given up expecting the promise. Send them this episode. Tell them God keeps his word to the exact day, even after centuries of silence. I want you to receive this in his heavenly name. I'm going to pray it first in its original Hebrew. Why Hebrew? Because it's the language of God. I'm nothing special. I just want you to be blessed. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Until tomorrow at 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Shalom. Shalom Bashem Yeshua. Shalom, shalom.
